Summary

I added a per-user skill active/inactive toggle so that shared skills require explicit opt-in before being injected into agent sessions. Owned skills remain active by default, while shared skills default to inactive, preventing surprises when someone shares a skill. An admin config override (defaultActiveOnShare) lets administrators force shared skills to auto-activate in controlled environments.

  • Store per-user skill overrides as a skillStates map (Record<string, boolean>) on the user document, tracking only explicit toggles rather than duplicating the full skill list
  • Add defaultActiveOnShare boolean to the interface.skills Zod config schema (defaults to false), surfaced in librechat.yaml and startup config for admin control
  • Implement GET/POST /api/user/settings/skills/active endpoints in SkillStatesController.js with validation (max 200 entries, key length, boolean values)
  • Add useGetSkillStatesQuery and useUpdateSkillStatesMutation React Query hooks with optimistic updates and rollback on error, following the existing favorites pattern
  • Create useSkillActiveState hook with ownership-aware resolution: checks explicit override first, then falls back to owned=active / shared=defaultActiveOnShare
  • Add toggle switch to SkillListItem rows (with dimmed icon/text when inactive) and to the SkillDetail header alongside Share/Edit/Delete actions
  • Filter deactivated skills inside injectSkillCatalog after listSkillsByAccess returns, before building the agent catalog, so inactive skills never reach the LLM
  • Plumb userId, skillStates, and defaultActiveOnShare through the initializeAgent chain for both primary and secondary (handoff) agents
  • Add com_ui_skill_active, com_ui_skill_inactive, and com_ui_skill_toggle_active localization keys

Change Type

  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)

Testing

  1. Create a skill as a user and confirm it appears active by default in the sidebar (toggle is green)
  2. Toggle the skill off and verify the row shows inactive styling (dimmed icon/text, toggle gray)
  3. Start an agent conversation with skills enabled and confirm the deactivated skill does not appear in the agent's skill catalog
  4. Toggle it back on and confirm it is injected into subsequent agent sessions
  5. Share a skill with another user and verify the recipient sees it as inactive by default
  6. As the recipient, toggle the shared skill active and confirm it is now injected only into their sessions
  7. Set interface.skills.defaultActiveOnShare: true in librechat.yaml, restart, and verify shared skills now auto-activate for users who have not explicitly toggled them
  8. Confirm the toggle on SkillDetail view matches the sidebar toggle state

Test Configuration:

  • Node.js v22
  • MongoDB (local or Atlas)
  • Default librechat.yaml with skills capability enabled

Checklist

  • My code adheres to this project's style guidelines
  • I have performed a self-review of my own code

P1 Badge Require user context before filtering active skills

This code fails open when userId is absent by returning all accessible skills, which bypasses per-user active/inactive overrides. I checked the repo and there are active agent entry points (for example api/server/controllers/agents/openai.js and api/server/controllers/agents/responses.js) that still call initializeAgent without passing userId/skillStates, so disabled skills can still be injected in those flows. Make this path fail closed (or require userId whenever accessibleSkillIds are provided) so the toggle is enforced consistently.

P2 Badge Validate skill-state keys against Mongo Map rules

The validation only checks key length/type, but Mongoose Map keys reject characters like . and leading $; those payloads will throw during updateUser and hit the generic 500 handler instead of returning a client 400. This turns malformed user input into server errors and makes the endpoint brittle. Add explicit key-pattern validation (or map-cast error translation) before persisting.

P2 Badge Block full-map writes until skill states are loaded

The toggle writes a full replacement object (next) derived from the current in-memory skillStates; before the initial query resolves that state is the empty fallback, so an early click can overwrite existing server-side overrides with only one key. Because the API replaces the entire map, this can silently drop prior toggles. Disable toggling while the initial fetch is loading or merge against the latest cached/server value before posting.

P1 Badge Preserve shared-skill activation when state context is missing

This fallback makes shared skills inactive whenever injectSkillCatalog is called without the new skillStates/defaultActiveOnShare context, and some existing agent entrypoints still only provide accessibleSkillIds (for example the OpenAI/Responses controllers). In those paths, user toggles and admin defaultActiveOnShare are silently ignored, so shared skills cannot be activated even though they are accessible; require these params at call sites or bypass ownership filtering when they are absent.

P2 Badge Prevent row keyboard handler from hijacking toggle activation

The new SkillToggle is focusable inside a row that already handles Enter/Space to navigate, so keyboard events from the toggle bubble up and trigger handleSkillClick. That means keyboard users can be navigated away when trying to flip the switch (and the toggle action may be canceled), making the active/inactive control unreliable from the list; isolate key handling to the row itself or stop propagation for toggle key activation.

P1 Badge Fetch enough skills to satisfy active catalog limit

injectSkillCatalog applies SKILL_CATALOG_LIMIT when fetching accessible skills, then filters that page by active/inactive state. When a user has more than 100 accessible skills and many recent ones are shared (default inactive), active owned skills past the first page are never considered, so the agent can get an empty or truncated catalog even though active skills exist. Apply the limit after active-state filtering (or page until the active quota is filled) so inactive rows do not consume the catalog budget.

P1 Badge Block toggle when state fetch has failed

The toggle guard only checks getQuery.isLoading, so after an initial GET /skills/active failure on a cold load, skillStates falls back to {} and the next toggle posts a partial map built from an empty baseline. Because the backend updateSkillStatesController replaces the full skillStates map, this can wipe previously saved overrides for other skills when the POST succeeds after a transient GET error.

P1 Badge Serialize skill-state writes across all UI instances

The request queue is stored in a component-local useRef, but this hook is used in both SkillList and SkillDetail, so each instance can send concurrent full-map updates independently. If two toggles are made before the first network round-trip completes (for example one in the list and one in detail), whichever POST finishes last overwrites the other change, dropping user toggles due to last-writer-wins on the whole skillStates object.

P1 Badge Derive queued toggle state from fresh cache, not stale closure

When a toggle is already in flight, this line falls back to the hook’s captured skillStates snapshot, which can be stale until React Query re-renders after onMutate. If the user toggles another skill before that re-render (e.g., quickly from list/detail views), the second payload is built from an old map and can drop the first toggle; because the backend POST /skills/active replaces the full map, this causes lost updates rather than just temporary UI drift.

…ults

- Add `skillStates` map (Record<string, boolean>) to user schema for
  per-user active/inactive overrides on skills
- Add `defaultActiveOnShare` to interface.skills config (default: false)
  so admins can control whether shared skills auto-activate
- Add GET/POST /api/user/settings/skills/active endpoints with validation
- Add React Query hooks with optimistic mutations for skill states
- Add useSkillActiveState hook with ownership-aware resolution:
  owned skills default active, shared skills default inactive
- Add toggle switch UI to SkillListItem and SkillDetail components
- Filter inactive skills in injectSkillCatalog before agent injection
- Add localization keys for active/inactive labels
Mongoose .lean() flattens Map to a plain object, causing type
incompatibility with IUser in methods that return lean documents.
- Fail-closed when userId is absent: filter rejects all shared skills
  instead of passing them through unfiltered (Codex P1)
- Validate Mongoose Map key characters (reject . and $) in controller
  to return 400 instead of a 500 from schema validation (Codex P2)
- Block toggle while initial skill states query is loading to prevent
  overwriting server-side overrides with an empty snapshot (Codex P2)
- Extract shared SkillToggle component, eliminating duplicate toggle
  markup in SkillListItem and SkillDetail (Finding #3)
- Move skill state query/mutation hooks from Favorites.ts to
  Skills/queries.ts per feature-directory convention (Finding #4)
- Fix hardcoded English aria-label in SkillListItem by passing the
  localized string from the parent SkillList (Finding #5)
- Fix inline arrow in SkillList render loop: pass stable callback
  reference so SkillListItem memo() is not invalidated (Finding #1)
- Extract toRecord() helper in controller to DRY the Map-to-Object
  conversion (Finding #6)
- Remove Promise.resolve wrapping synchronous config read (Finding #8)
- Remove unused TUpdateSkillStatesRequest type (Finding #12)
The original inline toggle had tabIndex={-1} so the row itself
remained the sole tab target. The extraction into SkillToggle
dropped this prop, making every list toggle a tab stop. Add an
optional tabIndex prop and pass -1 from SkillListItem.
- Add skillStates/defaultActiveOnShare loading to openai.js and
  responses.js controllers so shared-skill activation is respected
  across all agent entry points, not just initialize.js (Codex P1)
- Stop keydown propagation on SkillToggle so Enter/Space does not
  bubble to the parent row's navigation handler (Codex P2)
- Paginate listSkillsByAccess (up to 10 pages of 100) until the active
  catalog quota is filled, so inactive shared skills in recent positions
  do not starve active owned skills past the first page (Codex P1)
- Extend listSkillsByAccess interface with cursor/has_more/after for
  catalog pagination
- Serialize skill-state writes via a ref queue: one in-flight request
  at a time, with the latest desired state sent when the previous one
  settles. Prevents last-response-wins races where an older request
  overwrites newer toggles (Codex P2)
…rror

- Move the write queue from a per-instance useRef to a module-scoped
  object so every mount of useSkillActiveState (SkillList, SkillDetail,
  etc.) serializes against the same in-flight slot. Prior per-instance
  queues allowed two components to race full-map POSTs (Codex P1)
- Extend the toggle guard beyond isLoading: also block when isError is
  true or data is undefined. Prevents a failed GET from seeding a
  toggle with an empty baseline that would wipe server-side overrides
  on the next successful POST (Codex P1)
- Read toggle baseline from React Query cache via queryClient.getQueryData
  instead of the captured skillStates closure. The closure can be stale
  between onMutate's setQueryData and the next render, so rapid successive
  toggles would build on old state and drop earlier changes (Codex P1)
- Surface the MAX_SKILL_STATES_EXCEEDED error code with a specific toast
  key (com_ui_skill_states_limit) so users understand the 200-cap rather
  than seeing a generic error
- Prune orphaned entries (skillIds whose Skill doc no longer exists) on
  both GET and POST in SkillStatesController. Self-heals over time
  without needing cascade-delete hooks or a migration job. Uses one
  indexed Skill._id query per request

@codex review

Extract the active-state resolution logic from a closure inside
injectSkillCatalog into an exported resolveSkillActive helper, then
cover every branch of the precedence matrix:

- Fails closed when userId is absent (even with defaultActiveOnShare=true)
- Explicit override wins over ownership and config (both true and false)
- Owned skills default to active when no override is set
- Shared skills default to defaultActiveOnShare value
- Undefined skillStates behaves identically to an empty object
- defaultActiveOnShare defaults to false when omitted
- Owned skills ignore defaultActiveOnShare entirely

Closes Finding #2 from the pre-rebase comprehensive review. Mirrors
the existing scopeSkillIds test style; injectSkillCatalog now calls
resolveSkillActive instead of inlining the closure.

P2 Badge Remove overrides when toggle returns to default state

The toggle path always writes skillId -> !currentActive into the map, even when that new value equals the ownership/config default. Because the backend enforces a hard cap of 200 entries (MAX_SKILL_STATES), users can exhaust the quota by toggling many skills on and then back to their default state, after which further toggles fail with MAX_SKILL_STATES_EXCEEDED despite having few (or no) meaningful overrides. The toggle logic should delete entries when the new value matches the resolved default instead of persisting a redundant override.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

- Remove the per-row toggle from SkillListItem and the active-state
  plumbing (hook call, isSkillEnabled/onToggleEnabled/toggleAriaLabel
  props) from SkillList. The detail view is now the single place to
  change a skill's active state
- Drop dim/muted styling for inactive skills in the sidebar: without
  a control there, the visual indication has nowhere to land
- Resize SkillToggle to match neighbor buttons: outer h-9 container,
  h-6 w-11 track with size-5 knob, no label span. The 'Active' /
  'Inactive' text that accompanied the detail-view toggle is removed
- Remove the now-unused label prop and tabIndex prop (the tabIndex
  existed only for the list-row context) from SkillToggle. Drop the
  onKeyDown stopPropagation for the same reason
- Remove now-orphaned com_ui_skill_active / com_ui_skill_inactive
  translation keys
Container stays at h-9 to match neighbor button heights. The toggle
track itself drops from h-6 w-11 to h-5 w-9, with a size-4 knob
travelling 1.125rem on activation. Visually lighter inside the row.
…ault

When a toggle lands on the ownership/config default, delete the key
from the map instead of persisting `{id: defaultValue}`. Without this,
a user toggling a skill off and back on would leave `{id: true}` for
an owned skill (whose default is already true), silently consuming a
slot against the 200-entry cap. Repeated round-trip toggles could
exhaust the quota with zero meaningful overrides (Codex P2).

Preserves the exceptions-list invariant that the runtime-resolution
design depends on.

P2 Badge Remove invalid skill IDs when no ObjectIds are present

pruneOrphans returns the input map unchanged when ids.length === 0, so a payload containing only non-ObjectId keys bypasses the cleanup path entirely and gets persisted as user state. This contradicts the endpoint’s “self-heal orphaned overrides” behavior and lets malformed keys accumulate in skillStates (and count toward the 200-entry cap) until a later write happens to include at least one valid ObjectId.

P2 Badge Prune orphaned entries before enforcing the 200-state limit

The max-size guard runs on the raw payload before orphan cleanup, but orphan pruning is done later in the same request. If a user is near the 200-entry cap and some saved overrides now point to deleted skills, adding a new toggle can incorrectly return MAX_SKILL_STATES_EXCEEDED even though pruning would bring the stored map back under the limit.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Reorder the update controller so pruneOrphans runs before the 200-cap
check. Without this, a user near the cap with some orphaned entries
(skills deleted since their last GET) could send a payload that would
pass after pruning but gets rejected by the raw-size check first.

Add a sanity cap on raw payload size (2 * MAX_SKILL_STATES) so abusive
inputs do not reach the DB query, and enforce the real cap on the
pruned result instead.

Harden pruneOrphans: the earlier early-return path could pass
non-ObjectId keys through unchanged. Now only valid ObjectIds are
returned, and the Skill-model-unavailable fallback filters by format.

Also add isValidObjectIdString validation at the input boundary so
malformed (but otherwise non-Mongo-unsafe) keys never reach persistence
(Codex P2 x2).

P1 Badge Enforce active-skill filter during skill tool execution

injectSkillCatalog now filters to activeSkills, but it only uses that set to build the prompt catalog and returns no filtered ID list. The runtime executor still authorizes skill tool calls against the full accessibleSkillIds set (initialize.ts keeps the unfiltered IDs, and handlers.ts resolves getSkillByName from that set), so a deactivated skill can still be invoked by name whenever at least one active skill keeps the tool registered. This breaks the new active/inactive guarantee and allows disabled skills to run in production conversations.

…pe queue per user

P1: injectSkillCatalog now returns activeSkillIds (the filtered set
that appears in the catalog). initializeAgent uses that set as the
stored accessibleSkillIds on the initialized agent, so getSkillByName
at runtime cannot resolve a deactivated skill — even if the LLM
hallucinates a name or the user invokes by direct-invocation shorthand.
Previously the executor authorized against the full ACL set, bypassing
the active-state guarantee (Codex P1).

P2: pruneOrphans now checks user access via findAccessibleResources
in addition to skill existence. When a share is revoked, the user's
skillStates entry for that skill had no cleanup path and silently
consumed the 200-cap. Self-heals on both GET and POST. One extra ACL
query per settings read/write; scoped to a single user so no N-user
amplification (Codex P2).

P2: the write queue moves from a single module-scoped object to a Map
keyed by userId. Logout/login in the same tab can no longer flush the
previous user's pending snapshot under the new session's auth. Each
userId gets its own pending/inFlight slot; the in-flight request
retains its original auth via the cookie already attached when sent,
so the race window closes (Codex P2).
Address the remaining valid findings from the comprehensive review:

- Extract toRecord, loadSkillStates, validateSkillStatesPayload, and
  pruneOrphanSkillStates into packages/api/src/skills/skillStates.ts
  as TypeScript. The controller in /api shrinks to a ~90-line thin
  wrapper that builds live dependency adapters for Mongoose + the
  permission service (Review #2 DRY, #3 workspace boundary)

- Replace the triplicated 12-line skillStates loading block in
  initialize.js, openai.js, and responses.js with a single call to
  loadSkillStates from @librechat/api. One helper, three sites

- Swap console.error for the project logger in the controller
  (Review #7)

- Remove the redundant INVALID_KEY_PATTERN regex: a valid ObjectId
  cannot contain . or $, so isValidObjectIdString already covers it
  (Review #11)

- Parameterize the 200-cap error toast with {{0}} interpolation
  driven by the error response's `limit` field, so future changes to
  MAX_SKILL_STATES update the UI message automatically (Review #12)

- Add 24 unit tests for the new skillStates helpers (toRecord,
  resolveDefaultActiveOnShare, loadSkillStates, validateSkillStates-
  Payload, pruneOrphanSkillStates) covering success paths, malformed
  input, cap boundaries, and parallel-query behavior (Review #4)

- Add 10 tests for injectSkillCatalog pagination covering empty
  accessible set, missing listSkillsByAccess, single-page filter,
  owned-vs-shared defaults, explicit-override precedence, multi-page
  collection, MAX_CATALOG_PAGES safety cap, early termination on
  has_more=false, additional_instructions injection, and fail-closed
  without userId (Review #5)

Total test count: 60 (was 26 on this surface).
packages/api/src/types/error.ts already exports a ValidationError
(MongooseError extension). Re-exporting a different shape from
skills/skillStates.ts through the skills barrel caused TS2308 in CI
because the root index re-exports both. Rename to
SkillStatesValidationError to keep the exports disjoint.
Address the followup review findings:

- Add optional `accessibleSkillIds` param to loadSkillStates so the
  helper short-circuits to defaults when no skills are accessible.
  All three controllers drop the residual 7-line conditional wrapper
  in favor of a single destructured call (Review #2)

- Remove the unreachable `typeof key !== 'string'` check from
  validateSkillStatesPayload: Object.entries always yields string
  keys per the JS spec (Review #3)

- Replace the two `as unknown as` agent casts in the injectSkillCatalog
  tests with a `makeAgent()` factory typed directly as the function's

- Tighten the MAX_CATALOG_PAGES assertion from `toBeLessThanOrEqual(11)`

- Evict stale writeQueue entries on user change via a module-scoped

@codex review

The prior refactor replaced the inline 12-line skillStates loading
block with a call to loadSkillStates from @librechat/api. Both
controller spec files mock @librechat/api as a flat object, so any
new named import from that package is undefined in the test env.
Calling `await loadSkillStates(...)` threw before recordCollectedUsage
ran, surfacing as "undefined is not iterable" on the test's array
destructure of `mockRecordCollectedUsage.mock.calls[0]`.

Add the missing mock to both spec files alongside the existing
scopeSkillIds stub.

P1 Badge Cancel queued skill-state writes after user switch

flush drains queue.pending without re-validating the active identity, so an in-flight loop can keep calling mutateAsync for a queue created under a previous userId. If a user toggles multiple times (creating pending state), then logs out and another user logs in before the first request settles, the stale queued snapshot can still be posted in the new session, overwriting the new user’s skillStates. Removing the old map entry does not prevent this because the loop retains a live reference to the old queue object.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

Close the cross-session leak window where an in-flight flush loop
still holds a reference to a previous user's queue: it could fire its
next mutateAsync under the new session's auth cookies and persist
the stale snapshot to the new user's document (Codex P1).

Add an `abandoned` flag on `WriteQueue`. Three mechanisms cooperate:

- `getWriteQueue` marks every non-active queue abandoned when the
  user differs from the last-seen identity (pre-existing eviction
  site, now more aggressive).
- A `useEffect` on `userId` calls the same abandonment pass on every
  render with a new active identity, covering the window between
  logout/login and the new user's first toggle (when `getWriteQueue`
  would otherwise not fire).
- The flush loop checks `!queue.abandoned` in its while condition so
  the second and later iterations exit without firing another
  `mutateAsync` after the session changes.

The first iteration's in-flight request (already dispatched under the
original user's cookies) still runs to completion or failure on its
own — only the subsequent iterations, which are the dangerous ones,
are blocked.

…efaults (#12692)

* feat: per-user skill active/inactive toggle with ownership-aware defaults

- Add `skillStates` map (Record<string, boolean>) to user schema for
  per-user active/inactive overrides on skills
- Add `defaultActiveOnShare` to interface.skills config (default: false)
  so admins can control whether shared skills auto-activate
- Add GET/POST /api/user/settings/skills/active endpoints with validation
- Add React Query hooks with optimistic mutations for skill states
- Add useSkillActiveState hook with ownership-aware resolution:
  owned skills default active, shared skills default inactive
- Add toggle switch UI to SkillListItem and SkillDetail components
- Filter inactive skills in injectSkillCatalog before agent injection
- Add localization keys for active/inactive labels

* fix: use Record instead of Map for IUser.skillStates

Mongoose .lean() flattens Map to a plain object, causing type
incompatibility with IUser in methods that return lean documents.

* fix: address review findings for skill active states

- Fail-closed when userId is absent: filter rejects all shared skills
  instead of passing them through unfiltered (Codex P1)
- Validate Mongoose Map key characters (reject . and $) in controller
  to return 400 instead of a 500 from schema validation (Codex P2)
- Block toggle while initial skill states query is loading to prevent
  overwriting server-side overrides with an empty snapshot (Codex P2)
- Extract shared SkillToggle component, eliminating duplicate toggle
  markup in SkillListItem and SkillDetail (Finding #3)
- Move skill state query/mutation hooks from Favorites.ts to
  Skills/queries.ts per feature-directory convention (Finding #4)
- Fix hardcoded English aria-label in SkillListItem by passing the
  localized string from the parent SkillList (Finding #5)
- Fix inline arrow in SkillList render loop: pass stable callback
  reference so SkillListItem memo() is not invalidated (Finding #1)
- Extract toRecord() helper in controller to DRY the Map-to-Object
  conversion (Finding #6)
- Remove Promise.resolve wrapping synchronous config read (Finding #8)
- Remove unused TUpdateSkillStatesRequest type (Finding #12)

* fix: forward tabIndex on SkillToggle to preserve list keyboard nav

The original inline toggle had tabIndex={-1} so the row itself
remained the sole tab target. The extraction into SkillToggle
dropped this prop, making every list toggle a tab stop. Add an
optional tabIndex prop and pass -1 from SkillListItem.

* fix: plumb skillStates to all agent entry points, isolate toggle keydown

- Add skillStates/defaultActiveOnShare loading to openai.js and
  responses.js controllers so shared-skill activation is respected
  across all agent entry points, not just initialize.js (Codex P1)
- Stop keydown propagation on SkillToggle so Enter/Space does not
  bubble to the parent row's navigation handler (Codex P2)

* fix: paginate catalog fetch and serialize toggle writes

- Paginate listSkillsByAccess (up to 10 pages of 100) until the active
  catalog quota is filled, so inactive shared skills in recent positions
  do not starve active owned skills past the first page (Codex P1)
- Extend listSkillsByAccess interface with cursor/has_more/after for
  catalog pagination
- Serialize skill-state writes via a ref queue: one in-flight request
  at a time, with the latest desired state sent when the previous one
  settles. Prevents last-response-wins races where an older request
  overwrites newer toggles (Codex P2)

* fix: share write queue across hook instances, block toggle on fetch error

- Move the write queue from a per-instance useRef to a module-scoped
  object so every mount of useSkillActiveState (SkillList, SkillDetail,
  etc.) serializes against the same in-flight slot. Prior per-instance
  queues allowed two components to race full-map POSTs (Codex P1)
- Extend the toggle guard beyond isLoading: also block when isError is
  true or data is undefined. Prevents a failed GET from seeding a
  toggle with an empty baseline that would wipe server-side overrides
  on the next successful POST (Codex P1)

* fix: stale closure, orphan cleanup, and cap-error UX

- Read toggle baseline from React Query cache via queryClient.getQueryData
  instead of the captured skillStates closure. The closure can be stale
  between onMutate's setQueryData and the next render, so rapid successive
  toggles would build on old state and drop earlier changes (Codex P1)
- Surface the MAX_SKILL_STATES_EXCEEDED error code with a specific toast
  key (com_ui_skill_states_limit) so users understand the 200-cap rather
  than seeing a generic error
- Prune orphaned entries (skillIds whose Skill doc no longer exists) on
  both GET and POST in SkillStatesController. Self-heals over time
  without needing cascade-delete hooks or a migration job. Uses one
  indexed Skill._id query per request

* test: pin skill active-state precedence with unit tests

Extract the active-state resolution logic from a closure inside
injectSkillCatalog into an exported resolveSkillActive helper, then
cover every branch of the precedence matrix:

- Fails closed when userId is absent (even with defaultActiveOnShare=true)
- Explicit override wins over ownership and config (both true and false)
- Owned skills default to active when no override is set
- Shared skills default to defaultActiveOnShare value
- Undefined skillStates behaves identically to an empty object
- defaultActiveOnShare defaults to false when omitted
- Owned skills ignore defaultActiveOnShare entirely

Closes Finding #2 from the pre-rebase comprehensive review. Mirrors
the existing scopeSkillIds test style; injectSkillCatalog now calls
resolveSkillActive instead of inlining the closure.

* refactor: limit skill active toggle to detail header, drop label

- Remove the per-row toggle from SkillListItem and the active-state
  plumbing (hook call, isSkillEnabled/onToggleEnabled/toggleAriaLabel
  props) from SkillList. The detail view is now the single place to
  change a skill's active state
- Drop dim/muted styling for inactive skills in the sidebar: without
  a control there, the visual indication has nowhere to land
- Resize SkillToggle to match neighbor buttons: outer h-9 container,
  h-6 w-11 track with size-5 knob, no label span. The 'Active' /
  'Inactive' text that accompanied the detail-view toggle is removed
- Remove the now-unused label prop and tabIndex prop (the tabIndex
  existed only for the list-row context) from SkillToggle. Drop the
  onKeyDown stopPropagation for the same reason
- Remove now-orphaned com_ui_skill_active / com_ui_skill_inactive
  translation keys

* style: shrink SkillToggle track to h-5 w-9 with size-4 knob

Container stays at h-9 to match neighbor button heights. The toggle
track itself drops from h-6 w-11 to h-5 w-9, with a size-4 knob
travelling 1.125rem on activation. Visually lighter inside the row.

* fix: remove redundant skillStates entries that match the resolved default

When a toggle lands on the ownership/config default, delete the key
from the map instead of persisting `{id: defaultValue}`. Without this,
a user toggling a skill off and back on would leave `{id: true}` for
an owned skill (whose default is already true), silently consuming a
slot against the 200-entry cap. Repeated round-trip toggles could
exhaust the quota with zero meaningful overrides (Codex P2).

Preserves the exceptions-list invariant that the runtime-resolution
design depends on.

* fix: prune before enforcing skill-state cap; reject non-ObjectId keys

Reorder the update controller so pruneOrphans runs before the 200-cap
check. Without this, a user near the cap with some orphaned entries
(skills deleted since their last GET) could send a payload that would
pass after pruning but gets rejected by the raw-size check first.

Add a sanity cap on raw payload size (2 * MAX_SKILL_STATES) so abusive
inputs do not reach the DB query, and enforce the real cap on the
pruned result instead.

Harden pruneOrphans: the earlier early-return path could pass
non-ObjectId keys through unchanged. Now only valid ObjectIds are
returned, and the Skill-model-unavailable fallback filters by format.

Also add isValidObjectIdString validation at the input boundary so
malformed (but otherwise non-Mongo-unsafe) keys never reach persistence
(Codex P2 x2).

* fix: enforce active filter at execute time, prune revoked shares, scope queue per user

P1: injectSkillCatalog now returns activeSkillIds (the filtered set
that appears in the catalog). initializeAgent uses that set as the
stored accessibleSkillIds on the initialized agent, so getSkillByName
at runtime cannot resolve a deactivated skill — even if the LLM
hallucinates a name or the user invokes by direct-invocation shorthand.
Previously the executor authorized against the full ACL set, bypassing
the active-state guarantee (Codex P1).

P2: pruneOrphans now checks user access via findAccessibleResources
in addition to skill existence. When a share is revoked, the user's
skillStates entry for that skill had no cleanup path and silently
consumed the 200-cap. Self-heals on both GET and POST. One extra ACL
query per settings read/write; scoped to a single user so no N-user
amplification (Codex P2).

P2: the write queue moves from a single module-scoped object to a Map
keyed by userId. Logout/login in the same tab can no longer flush the
previous user's pending snapshot under the new session's auth. Each
userId gets its own pending/inFlight slot; the in-flight request
retains its original auth via the cookie already attached when sent,
so the race window closes (Codex P2).

* refactor: extract skillStates helpers to packages/api; add tests; polish

Address the remaining valid findings from the comprehensive review:

- Extract toRecord, loadSkillStates, validateSkillStatesPayload, and
  pruneOrphanSkillStates into packages/api/src/skills/skillStates.ts
  as TypeScript. The controller in /api shrinks to a ~90-line thin
  wrapper that builds live dependency adapters for Mongoose + the
  permission service (Review #2 DRY, #3 workspace boundary)

- Replace the triplicated 12-line skillStates loading block in
  initialize.js, openai.js, and responses.js with a single call to
  loadSkillStates from @librechat/api. One helper, three sites

- Swap console.error for the project logger in the controller
  (Review #7)

- Remove the redundant INVALID_KEY_PATTERN regex: a valid ObjectId
  cannot contain . or $, so isValidObjectIdString already covers it
  (Review #11)

- Parameterize the 200-cap error toast with {{0}} interpolation
  driven by the error response's `limit` field, so future changes to
  MAX_SKILL_STATES update the UI message automatically (Review #12)

- Add 24 unit tests for the new skillStates helpers (toRecord,
  resolveDefaultActiveOnShare, loadSkillStates, validateSkillStates-
  Payload, pruneOrphanSkillStates) covering success paths, malformed
  input, cap boundaries, and parallel-query behavior (Review #4)

- Add 10 tests for injectSkillCatalog pagination covering empty
  accessible set, missing listSkillsByAccess, single-page filter,
  owned-vs-shared defaults, explicit-override precedence, multi-page
  collection, MAX_CATALOG_PAGES safety cap, early termination on
  has_more=false, additional_instructions injection, and fail-closed
  without userId (Review #5)

Total test count: 60 (was 26 on this surface).

* fix: rename skillStates ValidationError to avoid barrel-export collision

packages/api/src/types/error.ts already exports a ValidationError
(MongooseError extension). Re-exporting a different shape from
skills/skillStates.ts through the skills barrel caused TS2308 in CI
because the root index re-exports both. Rename to
SkillStatesValidationError to keep the exports disjoint.

* refactor: tighten tests and absorb caller guard into loadSkillStates

Address the followup review findings:

- Add optional `accessibleSkillIds` param to loadSkillStates so the
  helper short-circuits to defaults when no skills are accessible.
  All three controllers drop the residual 7-line conditional wrapper
  in favor of a single destructured call (Review #2)

- Remove the unreachable `typeof key !== 'string'` check from
  validateSkillStatesPayload: Object.entries always yields string
  keys per the JS spec (Review #3)

- Replace the two `as unknown as` agent casts in the injectSkillCatalog
  tests with a `makeAgent()` factory typed directly as the function's
  parameter shape (Review #4)

- Tighten the MAX_CATALOG_PAGES assertion from `toBeLessThanOrEqual(11)`
  to `toHaveBeenCalledTimes(10)` — the loop deterministically makes
  exactly 10 page fetches before hitting the cap (Review #1)

- Rewrite the parallel-execution test for pruneOrphanSkillStates using
  deferred promises instead of microtask-order assertions. The test
  now inspects `toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1)` on both mocks after a single
  Promise.resolve() yield, pinning Promise.all usage without relying
  on push-order into a shared array (Review #5)

- Evict stale writeQueue entries on user change via a module-scoped
  `lastSeenUserId` sentinel. When a different user's toggle is the
  first one after a logout/login, the previous user's queue entry is
  deleted. Keeps the Map bounded without adding hook-instance effect
  cleanup (Review #6)

* fix(test): mock loadSkillStates in openai and responses controller specs

The prior refactor replaced the inline 12-line skillStates loading
block with a call to loadSkillStates from @librechat/api. Both
controller spec files mock @librechat/api as a flat object, so any
new named import from that package is undefined in the test env.
Calling `await loadSkillStates(...)` threw before recordCollectedUsage
ran, surfacing as "undefined is not iterable" on the test's array
destructure of `mockRecordCollectedUsage.mock.calls[0]`.

Add the missing mock to both spec files alongside the existing
scopeSkillIds stub.

* fix: abandon stale skillStates write queues on user switch

Close the cross-session leak window where an in-flight flush loop
still holds a reference to a previous user's queue: it could fire its
next mutateAsync under the new session's auth cookies and persist
the stale snapshot to the new user's document (Codex P1).

Add an `abandoned` flag on `WriteQueue`. Three mechanisms cooperate:

- The flush loop checks `!queue.abandoned` in its while condition so
  the second and later iterations exit without firing another
  `mutateAsync` after the session changes.

are blocked.

  helper short-circuits to defaults when no skills are accessible.
  All three controllers drop the residual 7-line conditional wrapper
  in favor of a single destructured call (Review #2)

- Remove the unreachable `typeof key !== 'string'` check from
  validateSkillStatesPayload: Object.entries always yields string
  keys per the JS spec (Review #3)

- Replace the two `as unknown as` agent casts in the injectSkillCatalog
  tests with a `makeAgent()` factory typed directly as the function's
  parameter shape (Review #4)

- Tighten the MAX_CATALOG_PAGES assertion from `toBeLessThanOrEqual(11)`
  to `toHaveBeenCalledTimes(10)` — the loop deterministically makes
  exactly 10 page fetches before hitting the cap (Review #1)

- Rewrite the parallel-execution test for pruneOrphanSkillStates using
  deferred promises instead of microtask-order assertions. The test
  now inspects `toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1)` on both mocks after a single
  Promise.resolve() yield, pinning Promise.all usage without relying
  on push-order into a shared array (Review #5)

- Evict stale writeQueue entries on user change via a module-scoped
  `lastSeenUserId` sentinel. When a different user's toggle is the
  first one after a logout/login, the previous user's queue entry is
  deleted. Keeps the Map bounded without adding hook-instance effect
  cleanup (Review #6)

* fix(test): mock loadSkillStates in openai and responses controller specs

The prior refactor replaced the inline 12-line skillStates loading
block with a call to loadSkillStates from @librechat/api. Both
controller spec files mock @librechat/api as a flat object, so any
new named import from that package is undefined in the test env.
Calling `await loadSkillStates(...)` threw before recordCollectedUsage
ran, surfacing as "undefined is not iterable" on the test's array
destructure of `mockRecordCollectedUsage.mock.calls[0]`.

Add the missing mock to both spec files alongside the existing
scopeSkillIds stub.

* fix: abandon stale skillStates write queues on user switch

Close the cross-session leak window where an in-flight flush loop
still holds a reference to a previous user's queue: it could fire its
next mutateAsync under the new session's auth cookies and persist
the stale snapshot to the new user's document (Codex P1).

Add an `abandoned` flag on `WriteQueue`. Three mechanisms cooperate:

- `getWriteQueue` marks every non-active queue abandoned when the
  user differs from the last-seen identity (pre-existing eviction
  site, now more aggressive).
- A `useEffect` on `userId` calls the same abandonment pass on every
  render with a new active identity, covering the window between
  logout/login and the new user's first toggle (when `getWriteQueue`
  would otherwise not fire).
- The flush loop checks `!queue.abandoned` in its while condition so
  the second and later iterations exit without firing another
  `mutateAsync` after the session changes.

The first iteration's in-flight request (already dispatched under the
original user's cookies) still runs to completion or failure on its
own — only the subsequent iterations, which are the dangerous ones,
are blocked.

…efaults (#12692)

* feat: per-user skill active/inactive toggle with ownership-aware defaults

- Add `skillStates` map (Record<string, boolean>) to user schema for
  per-user active/inactive overrides on skills
- Add `defaultActiveOnShare` to interface.skills config (default: false)
  so admins can control whether shared skills auto-activate
- Add GET/POST /api/user/settings/skills/active endpoints with validation
- Add React Query hooks with optimistic mutations for skill states
- Add useSkillActiveState hook with ownership-aware resolution:
  owned skills default active, shared skills default inactive
- Add toggle switch UI to SkillListItem and SkillDetail components
- Filter inactive skills in injectSkillCatalog before agent injection
- Add localization keys for active/inactive labels

* fix: use Record instead of Map for IUser.skillStates

Mongoose .lean() flattens Map to a plain object, causing type
incompatibility with IUser in methods that return lean documents.

* fix: address review findings for skill active states

- Fail-closed when userId is absent: filter rejects all shared skills
  instead of passing them through unfiltered (Codex P1)
- Validate Mongoose Map key characters (reject . and $) in controller
  to return 400 instead of a 500 from schema validation (Codex P2)
- Block toggle while initial skill states query is loading to prevent
  overwriting server-side overrides with an empty snapshot (Codex P2)
- Extract shared SkillToggle component, eliminating duplicate toggle
  markup in SkillListItem and SkillDetail (Finding #3)
- Move skill state query/mutation hooks from Favorites.ts to
  Skills/queries.ts per feature-directory convention (Finding #4)
- Fix hardcoded English aria-label in SkillListItem by passing the
  localized string from the parent SkillList (Finding #5)
- Fix inline arrow in SkillList render loop: pass stable callback
  reference so SkillListItem memo() is not invalidated (Finding #1)
- Extract toRecord() helper in controller to DRY the Map-to-Object
  conversion (Finding #6)
- Remove Promise.resolve wrapping synchronous config read (Finding #8)
- Remove unused TUpdateSkillStatesRequest type (Finding #12)

* fix: forward tabIndex on SkillToggle to preserve list keyboard nav

The original inline toggle had tabIndex={-1} so the row itself
remained the sole tab target. The extraction into SkillToggle
dropped this prop, making every list toggle a tab stop. Add an
optional tabIndex prop and pass -1 from SkillListItem.

* fix: plumb skillStates to all agent entry points, isolate toggle keydown

- Add skillStates/defaultActiveOnShare loading to openai.js and
  responses.js controllers so shared-skill activation is respected
  across all agent entry points, not just initialize.js (Codex P1)
- Stop keydown propagation on SkillToggle so Enter/Space does not
  bubble to the parent row's navigation handler (Codex P2)

* fix: paginate catalog fetch and serialize toggle writes

- Paginate listSkillsByAccess (up to 10 pages of 100) until the active
  catalog quota is filled, so inactive shared skills in recent positions
  do not starve active owned skills past the first page (Codex P1)
- Extend listSkillsByAccess interface with cursor/has_more/after for
  catalog pagination
- Serialize skill-state writes via a ref queue: one in-flight request
  at a time, with the latest desired state sent when the previous one
  settles. Prevents last-response-wins races where an older request
  overwrites newer toggles (Codex P2)

* fix: share write queue across hook instances, block toggle on fetch error

- Move the write queue from a per-instance useRef to a module-scoped
  object so every mount of useSkillActiveState (SkillList, SkillDetail,
  etc.) serializes against the same in-flight slot. Prior per-instance
  queues allowed two components to race full-map POSTs (Codex P1)
- Extend the toggle guard beyond isLoading: also block when isError is
  true or data is undefined. Prevents a failed GET from seeding a
  toggle with an empty baseline that would wipe server-side overrides
  on the next successful POST (Codex P1)

* fix: stale closure, orphan cleanup, and cap-error UX

- Read toggle baseline from React Query cache via queryClient.getQueryData
  instead of the captured skillStates closure. The closure can be stale
  between onMutate's setQueryData and the next render, so rapid successive
  toggles would build on old state and drop earlier changes (Codex P1)
- Surface the MAX_SKILL_STATES_EXCEEDED error code with a specific toast
  key (com_ui_skill_states_limit) so users understand the 200-cap rather
  than seeing a generic error
- Prune orphaned entries (skillIds whose Skill doc no longer exists) on
  both GET and POST in SkillStatesController. Self-heals over time
  without needing cascade-delete hooks or a migration job. Uses one
  indexed Skill._id query per request

* test: pin skill active-state precedence with unit tests

Extract the active-state resolution logic from a closure inside
injectSkillCatalog into an exported resolveSkillActive helper, then
cover every branch of the precedence matrix:

- Fails closed when userId is absent (even with defaultActiveOnShare=true)
- Explicit override wins over ownership and config (both true and false)
- Owned skills default to active when no override is set
- Shared skills default to defaultActiveOnShare value
- Undefined skillStates behaves identically to an empty object
- defaultActiveOnShare defaults to false when omitted
- Owned skills ignore defaultActiveOnShare entirely

Closes Finding #2 from the pre-rebase comprehensive review. Mirrors
the existing scopeSkillIds test style; injectSkillCatalog now calls
resolveSkillActive instead of inlining the closure.

* refactor: limit skill active toggle to detail header, drop label

- Remove the per-row toggle from SkillListItem and the active-state
  plumbing (hook call, isSkillEnabled/onToggleEnabled/toggleAriaLabel
  props) from SkillList. The detail view is now the single place to
  change a skill's active state
- Drop dim/muted styling for inactive skills in the sidebar: without
  a control there, the visual indication has nowhere to land
- Resize SkillToggle to match neighbor buttons: outer h-9 container,
  h-6 w-11 track with size-5 knob, no label span. The 'Active' /
  'Inactive' text that accompanied the detail-view toggle is removed
- Remove the now-unused label prop and tabIndex prop (the tabIndex
  existed only for the list-row context) from SkillToggle. Drop the
  onKeyDown stopPropagation for the same reason
- Remove now-orphaned com_ui_skill_active / com_ui_skill_inactive
  translation keys

* style: shrink SkillToggle track to h-5 w-9 with size-4 knob

Container stays at h-9 to match neighbor button heights. The toggle
track itself drops from h-6 w-11 to h-5 w-9, with a size-4 knob
travelling 1.125rem on activation. Visually lighter inside the row.

* fix: remove redundant skillStates entries that match the resolved default

When a toggle lands on the ownership/config default, delete the key
from the map instead of persisting `{id: defaultValue}`. Without this,
a user toggling a skill off and back on would leave `{id: true}` for
an owned skill (whose default is already true), silently consuming a
slot against the 200-entry cap. Repeated round-trip toggles could
exhaust the quota with zero meaningful overrides (Codex P2).

Preserves the exceptions-list invariant that the runtime-resolution
design depends on.

* fix: prune before enforcing skill-state cap; reject non-ObjectId keys

Reorder the update controller so pruneOrphans runs before the 200-cap
check. Without this, a user near the cap with some orphaned entries
(skills deleted since their last GET) could send a payload that would
pass after pruning but gets rejected by the raw-size check first.

Add a sanity cap on raw payload size (2 * MAX_SKILL_STATES) so abusive
inputs do not reach the DB query, and enforce the real cap on the
pruned result instead.

Harden pruneOrphans: the earlier early-return path could pass
non-ObjectId keys through unchanged. Now only valid ObjectIds are
returned, and the Skill-model-unavailable fallback filters by format.

Also add isValidObjectIdString validation at the input boundary so
malformed (but otherwise non-Mongo-unsafe) keys never reach persistence
(Codex P2 x2).

* fix: enforce active filter at execute time, prune revoked shares, scope queue per user

P1: injectSkillCatalog now returns activeSkillIds (the filtered set
that appears in the catalog). initializeAgent uses that set as the
stored accessibleSkillIds on the initialized agent, so getSkillByName
at runtime cannot resolve a deactivated skill — even if the LLM
hallucinates a name or the user invokes by direct-invocation shorthand.
Previously the executor authorized against the full ACL set, bypassing
the active-state guarantee (Codex P1).

P2: pruneOrphans now checks user access via findAccessibleResources
in addition to skill existence. When a share is revoked, the user's
skillStates entry for that skill had no cleanup path and silently
consumed the 200-cap. Self-heals on both GET and POST. One extra ACL
query per settings read/write; scoped to a single user so no N-user
amplification (Codex P2).

P2: the write queue moves from a single module-scoped object to a Map
keyed by userId. Logout/login in the same tab can no longer flush the
previous user's pending snapshot under the new session's auth. Each
userId gets its own pending/inFlight slot; the in-flight request
retains its original auth via the cookie already attached when sent,
so the race window closes (Codex P2).

* refactor: extract skillStates helpers to packages/api; add tests; polish

Address the remaining valid findings from the comprehensive review:

- Extract toRecord, loadSkillStates, validateSkillStatesPayload, and
  pruneOrphanSkillStates into packages/api/src/skills/skillStates.ts
  as TypeScript. The controller in /api shrinks to a ~90-line thin
  wrapper that builds live dependency adapters for Mongoose + the
  permission service (Review #2 DRY, #3 workspace boundary)

- Replace the triplicated 12-line skillStates loading block in
  initialize.js, openai.js, and responses.js with a single call to
  loadSkillStates from @librechat/api. One helper, three sites

- Swap console.error for the project logger in the controller
  (Review #7)

- Remove the redundant INVALID_KEY_PATTERN regex: a valid ObjectId
  cannot contain . or $, so isValidObjectIdString already covers it
  (Review #11)

- Parameterize the 200-cap error toast with {{0}} interpolation
  driven by the error response's `limit` field, so future changes to
  MAX_SKILL_STATES update the UI message automatically (Review #12)

- Add 24 unit tests for the new skillStates helpers (toRecord,
  resolveDefaultActiveOnShare, loadSkillStates, validateSkillStates-
  Payload, pruneOrphanSkillStates) covering success paths, malformed
  input, cap boundaries, and parallel-query behavior (Review #4)

- Add 10 tests for injectSkillCatalog pagination covering empty
  accessible set, missing listSkillsByAccess, single-page filter,
  owned-vs-shared defaults, explicit-override precedence, multi-page
  collection, MAX_CATALOG_PAGES safety cap, early termination on
  has_more=false, additional_instructions injection, and fail-closed
  without userId (Review #5)

Total test count: 60 (was 26 on this surface).

* fix: rename skillStates ValidationError to avoid barrel-export collision

packages/api/src/types/error.ts already exports a ValidationError
(MongooseError extension). Re-exporting a different shape from
skills/skillStates.ts through the skills barrel caused TS2308 in CI
because the root index re-exports both. Rename to
SkillStatesValidationError to keep the exports disjoint.

* refactor: tighten tests and absorb caller guard into loadSkillStates

Address the followup review findings:

- Add optional `accessibleSkillIds` param to loadSkillStates so the
  helper short-circuits to defaults when no skills are accessible.
  All three controllers drop the residual 7-line conditional wrapper

Calling `await loadSkillStates(...)` threw before recordCollectedUsage
ran, surfacing as "undefined is not iterable" on the test's array
destructure of `mockRecordCollectedUsage.mock.calls[0]`.

Add the missing mock to both spec files alongside the existing
scopeSkillIds stub.

* fix: abandon stale skillStates write queues on user switch

Close the cross-session leak window where an in-flight flush loop
still holds a reference to a previous user's queue: it could fire its
next mutateAsync under the new session's auth cookies and persist
the stale snapshot to the new user's document (Codex P1).

Add an `abandoned` flag on `WriteQueue`. Three mechanisms cooperate:

- `getWriteQueue` marks every non-active queue abandoned when the
  user differs from the last-seen identity (pre-existing eviction
  site, now more aggressive).
- A `useEffect` on `userId` calls the same abandonment pass on every
  render with a new active identity, covering the window between
  logout/login and the new user's first toggle (when `getWriteQueue`
  would otherwise not fire).
- The flush loop checks `!queue.abandoned` in its while condition so
  the second and later iterations exit without firing another
  `mutateAsync` after the session changes.

The first iteration's in-flight request (already dispatched under the
original user's cookies) still runs to completion or failure on its
own — only the subsequent iterations, which are the dangerous ones,
are blocked.

…efaults (LibreChat-AI#12692)

* feat: per-user skill active/inactive toggle with ownership-aware defaults

- Add `skillStates` map (Record<string, boolean>) to user schema for
  per-user active/inactive overrides on skills
- Add `defaultActiveOnShare` to interface.skills config (default: false)
  so admins can control whether shared skills auto-activate
- Add GET/POST /api/user/settings/skills/active endpoints with validation
- Add React Query hooks with optimistic mutations for skill states
- Add useSkillActiveState hook with ownership-aware resolution:
  owned skills default active, shared skills default inactive
- Add toggle switch UI to SkillListItem and SkillDetail components
- Filter inactive skills in injectSkillCatalog before agent injection
- Add localization keys for active/inactive labels

* fix: use Record instead of Map for IUser.skillStates

Mongoose .lean() flattens Map to a plain object, causing type
incompatibility with IUser in methods that return lean documents.

* fix: address review findings for skill active states

- Fail-closed when userId is absent: filter rejects all shared skills
  instead of passing them through unfiltered (Codex P1)
- Validate Mongoose Map key characters (reject . and $) in controller
  to return 400 instead of a 500 from schema validation (Codex P2)
- Block toggle while initial skill states query is loading to prevent
  overwriting server-side overrides with an empty snapshot (Codex P2)
- Extract shared SkillToggle component, eliminating duplicate toggle
  markup in SkillListItem and SkillDetail (Finding LibreChat-AI#3)
- Move skill state query/mutation hooks from Favorites.ts to
  Skills/queries.ts per feature-directory convention (Finding LibreChat-AI#4)
- Fix hardcoded English aria-label in SkillListItem by passing the
  localized string from the parent SkillList (Finding LibreChat-AI#5)
- Fix inline arrow in SkillList render loop: pass stable callback
  reference so SkillListItem memo() is not invalidated (Finding LibreChat-AI#1)
- Extract toRecord() helper in controller to DRY the Map-to-Object
  conversion (Finding LibreChat-AI#6)
- Remove Promise.resolve wrapping synchronous config read (Finding LibreChat-AI#8)
- Remove unused TUpdateSkillStatesRequest type (Finding LibreChat-AI#12)

* fix: forward tabIndex on SkillToggle to preserve list keyboard nav

The original inline toggle had tabIndex={-1} so the row itself
remained the sole tab target. The extraction into SkillToggle
dropped this prop, making every list toggle a tab stop. Add an
optional tabIndex prop and pass -1 from SkillListItem.

* fix: plumb skillStates to all agent entry points, isolate toggle keydown

- Add skillStates/defaultActiveOnShare loading to openai.js and
  responses.js controllers so shared-skill activation is respected
  across all agent entry points, not just initialize.js (Codex P1)
- Stop keydown propagation on SkillToggle so Enter/Space does not
  bubble to the parent row's navigation handler (Codex P2)

* fix: paginate catalog fetch and serialize toggle writes

- Paginate listSkillsByAccess (up to 10 pages of 100) until the active
  catalog quota is filled, so inactive shared skills in recent positions
  do not starve active owned skills past the first page (Codex P1)
- Extend listSkillsByAccess interface with cursor/has_more/after for
  catalog pagination
- Serialize skill-state writes via a ref queue: one in-flight request
  at a time, with the latest desired state sent when the previous one
  settles. Prevents last-response-wins races where an older request
  overwrites newer toggles (Codex P2)

* fix: share write queue across hook instances, block toggle on fetch error

- Move the write queue from a per-instance useRef to a module-scoped
  object so every mount of useSkillActiveState (SkillList, SkillDetail,
  etc.) serializes against the same in-flight slot. Prior per-instance
  queues allowed two components to race full-map POSTs (Codex P1)
- Extend the toggle guard beyond isLoading: also block when isError is
  true or data is undefined. Prevents a failed GET from seeding a
  toggle with an empty baseline that would wipe server-side overrides
  on the next successful POST (Codex P1)

* fix: stale closure, orphan cleanup, and cap-error UX

- Read toggle baseline from React Query cache via queryClient.getQueryData
  instead of the captured skillStates closure. The closure can be stale
  between onMutate's setQueryData and the next render, so rapid successive
  toggles would build on old state and drop earlier changes (Codex P1)
- Surface the MAX_SKILL_STATES_EXCEEDED error code with a specific toast
  key (com_ui_skill_states_limit) so users understand the 200-cap rather
  than seeing a generic error
- Prune orphaned entries (skillIds whose Skill doc no longer exists) on
  both GET and POST in SkillStatesController. Self-heals over time
  without needing cascade-delete hooks or a migration job. Uses one
  indexed Skill._id query per request

* test: pin skill active-state precedence with unit tests

Extract the active-state resolution logic from a closure inside
injectSkillCatalog into an exported resolveSkillActive helper, then
cover every branch of the precedence matrix:

- Fails closed when userId is absent (even with defaultActiveOnShare=true)
- Explicit override wins over ownership and config (both true and false)
- Owned skills default to active when no override is set
- Shared skills default to defaultActiveOnShare value
- Undefined skillStates behaves identically to an empty object
- defaultActiveOnShare defaults to false when omitted
- Owned skills ignore defaultActiveOnShare entirely

Closes Finding LibreChat-AI#2 from the pre-rebase comprehensive review. Mirrors
the existing scopeSkillIds test style; injectSkillCatalog now calls
resolveSkillActive instead of inlining the closure.

* refactor: limit skill active toggle to detail header, drop label

- Remove the per-row toggle from SkillListItem and the active-state
  plumbing (hook call, isSkillEnabled/onToggleEnabled/toggleAriaLabel
  props) from SkillList. The detail view is now the single place to
  change a skill's active state
- Drop dim/muted styling for inactive skills in the sidebar: without
  a control there, the visual indication has nowhere to land
- Resize SkillToggle to match neighbor buttons: outer h-9 container,
  h-6 w-11 track with size-5 knob, no label span. The 'Active' /
  'Inactive' text that accompanied the detail-view toggle is removed
- Remove the now-unused label prop and tabIndex prop (the tabIndex
  existed only for the list-row context) from SkillToggle. Drop the
  onKeyDown stopPropagation for the same reason
- Remove now-orphaned com_ui_skill_active / com_ui_skill_inactive
  translation keys

* style: shrink SkillToggle track to h-5 w-9 with size-4 knob

Container stays at h-9 to match neighbor button heights. The toggle
track itself drops from h-6 w-11 to h-5 w-9, with a size-4 knob
travelling 1.125rem on activation. Visually lighter inside the row.

* fix: remove redundant skillStates entries that match the resolved default

When a toggle lands on the ownership/config default, delete the key
from the map instead of persisting `{id: defaultValue}`. Without this,
a user toggling a skill off and back on would leave `{id: true}` for
an owned skill (whose default is already true), silently consuming a
slot against the 200-entry cap. Repeated round-trip toggles could
exhaust the quota with zero meaningful overrides (Codex P2).

Preserves the exceptions-list invariant that the runtime-resolution
design depends on.

* fix: prune before enforcing skill-state cap; reject non-ObjectId keys

Reorder the update controller so pruneOrphans runs before the 200-cap
check. Without this, a user near the cap with some orphaned entries
(skills deleted since their last GET) could send a payload that would
pass after pruning but gets rejected by the raw-size check first.

Add a sanity cap on raw payload size (2 * MAX_SKILL_STATES) so abusive
inputs do not reach the DB query, and enforce the real cap on the
pruned result instead.

Harden pruneOrphans: the earlier early-return path could pass
non-ObjectId keys through unchanged. Now only valid ObjectIds are
returned, and the Skill-model-unavailable fallback filters by format.

Also add isValidObjectIdString validation at the input boundary so
malformed (but otherwise non-Mongo-unsafe) keys never reach persistence
(Codex P2 x2).

* fix: enforce active filter at execute time, prune revoked shares, scope queue per user

P1: injectSkillCatalog now returns activeSkillIds (the filtered set
that appears in the catalog). initializeAgent uses that set as the
stored accessibleSkillIds on the initialized agent, so getSkillByName
at runtime cannot resolve a deactivated skill — even if the LLM
hallucinates a name or the user invokes by direct-invocation shorthand.
Previously the executor authorized against the full ACL set, bypassing
the active-state guarantee (Codex P1).

P2: pruneOrphans now checks user access via findAccessibleResources
in addition to skill existence. When a share is revoked, the user's
skillStates entry for that skill had no cleanup path and silently
consumed the 200-cap. Self-heals on both GET and POST. One extra ACL
query per settings read/write; scoped to a single user so no N-user
amplification (Codex P2).

P2: the write queue moves from a single module-scoped object to a Map
keyed by userId. Logout/login in the same tab can no longer flush the
previous user's pending snapshot under the new session's auth. Each
userId gets its own pending/inFlight slot; the in-flight request
retains its original auth via the cookie already attached when sent,
so the race window closes (Codex P2).

* refactor: extract skillStates helpers to packages/api; add tests; polish

Address the remaining valid findings from the comprehensive review:

- Extract toRecord, loadSkillStates, validateSkillStatesPayload, and
  pruneOrphanSkillStates into packages/api/src/skills/skillStates.ts
  as TypeScript. The controller in /api shrinks to a ~90-line thin
  wrapper that builds live dependency adapters for Mongoose + the
  permission service (Review LibreChat-AI#2 DRY, LibreChat-AI#3 workspace boundary)

- Replace the triplicated 12-line skillStates loading block in
  initialize.js, openai.js, and responses.js with a single call to
  loadSkillStates from @librechat/api. One helper, three sites

- Swap console.error for the project logger in the controller
  (Review LibreChat-AI#7)

- Remove the redundant INVALID_KEY_PATTERN regex: a valid ObjectId
  cannot contain . or $, so isValidObjectIdString already covers it
  (Review LibreChat-AI#11)

- Parameterize the 200-cap error toast with {{0}} interpolation
  driven by the error response's `limit` field, so future changes to
  MAX_SKILL_STATES update the UI message automatically (Review LibreChat-AI#12)

- Add 24 unit tests for the new skillStates helpers (toRecord,
  resolveDefaultActiveOnShare, loadSkillStates, validateSkillStates-
  Payload, pruneOrphanSkillStates) covering success paths, malformed
  input, cap boundaries, and parallel-query behavior (Review LibreChat-AI#4)

- Add 10 tests for injectSkillCatalog pagination covering empty
  accessible set, missing listSkillsByAccess, single-page filter,
  owned-vs-shared defaults, explicit-override precedence, multi-page
  collection, MAX_CATALOG_PAGES safety cap, early termination on
  has_more=false, additional_instructions injection, and fail-closed
  without userId (Review LibreChat-AI#5)

Total test count: 60 (was 26 on this surface).

* fix: rename skillStates ValidationError to avoid barrel-export collision

packages/api/src/types/error.ts already exports a ValidationError
(MongooseError extension). Re-exporting a different shape from
skills/skillStates.ts through the skills barrel caused TS2308 in CI
because the root index re-exports both. Rename to
SkillStatesValidationError to keep the exports disjoint.

* refactor: tighten tests and absorb caller guard into loadSkillStates

Address the followup review findings:

- Add optional `accessibleSkillIds` param to loadSkillStates so the
  helper short-circuits to defaults when no skills are accessible.
  All three controllers drop the residual 7-line conditional wrapper
  in favor of a single destructured call (Review LibreChat-AI#2)

- Remove the unreachable `typeof key !== 'string'` check from
  validateSkillStatesPayload: Object.entries always yields string
  keys per the JS spec (Review LibreChat-AI#3)

- Replace the two `as unknown as` agent casts in the injectSkillCatalog
  tests with a `makeAgent()` factory typed directly as the function's
  parameter shape (Review LibreChat-AI#4)

- Tighten the MAX_CATALOG_PAGES assertion from `toBeLessThanOrEqual(11)`
  to `toHaveBeenCalledTimes(10)` — the loop deterministically makes
  exactly 10 page fetches before hitting the cap (Review LibreChat-AI#1)

- Rewrite the parallel-execution test for pruneOrphanSkillStates using
  deferred promises instead of microtask-order assertions. The test
  now inspects `toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1)` on both mocks after a single
  Promise.resolve() yield, pinning Promise.all usage without relying
  on push-order into a shared array (Review LibreChat-AI#5)

- Evict stale writeQueue entries on user change via a module-scoped
  `lastSeenUserId` sentinel. When a different user's toggle is the
  first one after a logout/login, the previous user's queue entry is
  deleted. Keeps the Map bounded without adding hook-instance effect
  cleanup (Review LibreChat-AI#6)

* fix(test): mock loadSkillStates in openai and responses controller specs

The prior refactor replaced the inline 12-line skillStates loading
block with a call to loadSkillStates from @librechat/api. Both
controller spec files mock @librechat/api as a flat object, so any
new named import from that package is undefined in the test env.
Calling `await loadSkillStates(...)` threw before recordCollectedUsage
ran, surfacing as "undefined is not iterable" on the test's array
destructure of `mockRecordCollectedUsage.mock.calls[0]`.

Add the missing mock to both spec files alongside the existing
scopeSkillIds stub.

* fix: abandon stale skillStates write queues on user switch

still holds a reference to a previous user's queue: it could fire its
next mutateAsync under the new session's auth cookies and persist
the stale snapshot to the new user's document (Codex P1).

- The flush loop checks `!queue.abandoned` in its while condition so
  the second and later iterations exit without firing another
  `mutateAsync` after the session changes.

The first iteration's in-flight request (already dispatched under the
original user's cookies) still runs to completion or failure on its
own — only the subsequent iterations, which are the dangerous ones,
are blocked.

  render with a new active identity, covering the window between
  logout/login and the new user's first toggle (when `getWriteQueue`
  would otherwise not fire).
- The flush loop checks `!queue.abandoned` in its while condition so
  the second and later iterations exit without firing another
  `mutateAsync` after the session changes.

The first iteration's in-flight request (already dispatched under the
original user's cookies) still runs to completion or failure on its
own — only the subsequent iterations, which are the dangerous ones,
are blocked.

* feat: per-user skill active/inactive toggle with ownership-aware defaults

- Add `skillStates` map (Record<string, boolean>) to user schema for
  per-user active/inactive overrides on skills
- Add `defaultActiveOnShare` to interface.skills config (default: false)
  so admins can control whether shared skills auto-activate
- Add GET/POST /api/user/settings/skills/active endpoints with validation
- Add React Query hooks with optimistic mutations for skill states
- Add useSkillActiveState hook with ownership-aware resolution:
  owned skills default active, shared skills default inactive
- Add toggle switch UI to SkillListItem and SkillDetail components
- Filter inactive skills in injectSkillCatalog before agent injection
- Add localization keys for active/inactive labels

* fix: use Record instead of Map for IUser.skillStates

Mongoose .lean() flattens Map to a plain object, causing type
incompatibility with IUser in methods that return lean documents.

* fix: address review findings for skill active states

- Fail-closed when userId is absent: filter rejects all shared skills
  instead of passing them through unfiltered (Codex P1)
- Validate Mongoose Map key characters (reject . and $) in controller
  to return 400 instead of a 500 from schema validation (Codex P2)
- Block toggle while initial skill states query is loading to prevent
  overwriting server-side overrides with an empty snapshot (Codex P2)
- Extract shared SkillToggle component, eliminating duplicate toggle
  markup in SkillListItem and SkillDetail (Finding LibreChat-AI#3)
- Move skill state query/mutation hooks from Favorites.ts to
  Skills/queries.ts per feature-directory convention (Finding LibreChat-AI#4)
- Fix hardcoded English aria-label in SkillListItem by passing the
  localized string from the parent SkillList (Finding LibreChat-AI#5)
- Fix inline arrow in SkillList render loop: pass stable callback
  reference so SkillListItem memo() is not invalidated (Finding #1)
- Extract toRecord() helper in controller to DRY the Map-to-Object
  conversion (Finding LibreChat-AI#6)
- Remove Promise.resolve wrapping synchronous config read (Finding LibreChat-AI#8)
- Remove unused TUpdateSkillStatesRequest type (Finding LibreChat-AI#12)

* fix: forward tabIndex on SkillToggle to preserve list keyboard nav

The original inline toggle had tabIndex={-1} so the row itself
remained the sole tab target. The extraction into SkillToggle
dropped this prop, making every list toggle a tab stop. Add an
optional tabIndex prop and pass -1 from SkillListItem.

* fix: plumb skillStates to all agent entry points, isolate toggle keydown

- Add skillStates/defaultActiveOnShare loading to openai.js and
  responses.js controllers so shared-skill activation is respected
  across all agent entry points, not just initialize.js (Codex P1)
- Stop keydown propagation on SkillToggle so Enter/Space does not
  bubble to the parent row's navigation handler (Codex P2)

* fix: paginate catalog fetch and serialize toggle writes

- Paginate listSkillsByAccess (up to 10 pages of 100) until the active
  catalog quota is filled, so inactive shared skills in recent positions
  do not starve active owned skills past the first page (Codex P1)
- Extend listSkillsByAccess interface with cursor/has_more/after for
  catalog pagination
- Serialize skill-state writes via a ref queue: one in-flight request
  at a time, with the latest desired state sent when the previous one
  settles. Prevents last-response-wins races where an older request
  overwrites newer toggles (Codex P2)

* fix: share write queue across hook instances, block toggle on fetch error

- Move the write queue from a per-instance useRef to a module-scoped
  object so every mount of useSkillActiveState (SkillList, SkillDetail,
  etc.) serializes against the same in-flight slot. Prior per-instance
  queues allowed two components to race full-map POSTs (Codex P1)
- Extend the toggle guard beyond isLoading: also block when isError is
  true or data is undefined. Prevents a failed GET from seeding a
  toggle with an empty baseline that would wipe server-side overrides
  on the next successful POST (Codex P1)

* fix: stale closure, orphan cleanup, and cap-error UX

- Read toggle baseline from React Query cache via queryClient.getQueryData
  instead of the captured skillStates closure. The closure can be stale
  between onMutate's setQueryData and the next render, so rapid successive
  toggles would build on old state and drop earlier changes (Codex P1)
- Surface the MAX_SKILL_STATES_EXCEEDED error code with a specific toast
  key (com_ui_skill_states_limit) so users understand the 200-cap rather
  than seeing a generic error
- Prune orphaned entries (skillIds whose Skill doc no longer exists) on
  both GET and POST in SkillStatesController. Self-heals over time
  without needing cascade-delete hooks or a migration job. Uses one
  indexed Skill._id query per request

* test: pin skill active-state precedence with unit tests

Extract the active-state resolution logic from a closure inside
injectSkillCatalog into an exported resolveSkillActive helper, then
cover every branch of the precedence matrix:

- Fails closed when userId is absent (even with defaultActiveOnShare=true)
- Explicit override wins over ownership and config (both true and false)
- Owned skills default to active when no override is set
- Shared skills default to defaultActiveOnShare value
- Undefined skillStates behaves identically to an empty object
- defaultActiveOnShare defaults to false when omitted
- Owned skills ignore defaultActiveOnShare entirely

Closes Finding #2 from the pre-rebase comprehensive review. Mirrors
the existing scopeSkillIds test style; injectSkillCatalog now calls
resolveSkillActive instead of inlining the closure.

* refactor: limit skill active toggle to detail header, drop label

- Remove the per-row toggle from SkillListItem and the active-state
  plumbing (hook call, isSkillEnabled/onToggleEnabled/toggleAriaLabel
  props) from SkillList. The detail view is now the single place to
  change a skill's active state
- Drop dim/muted styling for inactive skills in the sidebar: without
  a control there, the visual indication has nowhere to land
- Resize SkillToggle to match neighbor buttons: outer h-9 container,
  h-6 w-11 track with size-5 knob, no label span. The 'Active' /
  'Inactive' text that accompanied the detail-view toggle is removed
- Remove the now-unused label prop and tabIndex prop (the tabIndex
  existed only for the list-row context) from SkillToggle. Drop the
  onKeyDown stopPropagation for the same reason
- Remove now-orphaned com_ui_skill_active / com_ui_skill_inactive
  translation keys

* style: shrink SkillToggle track to h-5 w-9 with size-4 knob

Container stays at h-9 to match neighbor button heights. The toggle
track itself drops from h-6 w-11 to h-5 w-9, with a size-4 knob
travelling 1.125rem on activation. Visually lighter inside the row.

* fix: remove redundant skillStates entries that match the resolved default

When a toggle lands on the ownership/config default, delete the key
from the map instead of persisting `{id: defaultValue}`. Without this,
a user toggling a skill off and back on would leave `{id: true}` for
an owned skill (whose default is already true), silently consuming a
slot against the 200-entry cap. Repeated round-trip toggles could
exhaust the quota with zero meaningful overrides (Codex P2).

Preserves the exceptions-list invariant that the runtime-resolution
design depends on.

* fix: prune before enforcing skill-state cap; reject non-ObjectId keys

Reorder the update controller so pruneOrphans runs before the 200-cap
check. Without this, a user near the cap with some orphaned entries
(skills deleted since their last GET) could send a payload that would
pass after pruning but gets rejected by the raw-size check first.

Add a sanity cap on raw payload size (2 * MAX_SKILL_STATES) so abusive
inputs do not reach the DB query, and enforce the real cap on the
pruned result instead.

Harden pruneOrphans: the earlier early-return path could pass
non-ObjectId keys through unchanged. Now only valid ObjectIds are
returned, and the Skill-model-unavailable fallback filters by format.

Also add isValidObjectIdString validation at the input boundary so
malformed (but otherwise non-Mongo-unsafe) keys never reach persistence
(Codex P2 x2).

* fix: enforce active filter at execute time, prune revoked shares, scope queue per user

P1: injectSkillCatalog now returns activeSkillIds (the filtered set
that appears in the catalog). initializeAgent uses that set as the
stored accessibleSkillIds on the initialized agent, so getSkillByName
at runtime cannot resolve a deactivated skill — even if the LLM
hallucinates a name or the user invokes by direct-invocation shorthand.
Previously the executor authorized against the full ACL set, bypassing
the active-state guarantee (Codex P1).

P2: pruneOrphans now checks user access via findAccessibleResources
in addition to skill existence. When a share is revoked, the user's
skillStates entry for that skill had no cleanup path and silently
consumed the 200-cap. Self-heals on both GET and POST. One extra ACL
query per settings read/write; scoped to a single user so no N-user
amplification (Codex P2).

P2: the write queue moves from a single module-scoped object to a Map
keyed by userId. Logout/login in the same tab can no longer flush the
previous user's pending snapshot under the new session's auth. Each
userId gets its own pending/inFlight slot; the in-flight request
retains its original auth via the cookie already attached when sent,
so the race window closes (Codex P2).

* refactor: extract skillStates helpers to packages/api; add tests; polish

Address the remaining valid findings from the comprehensive review:

- Extract toRecord, loadSkillStates, validateSkillStatesPayload, and
  pruneOrphanSkillStates into packages/api/src/skills/skillStates.ts
  as TypeScript. The controller in /api shrinks to a ~90-line thin
  wrapper that builds live dependency adapters for Mongoose + the
  permission service (Review #2 DRY, LibreChat-AI#3 workspace boundary)

- Replace the triplicated 12-line skillStates loading block in
  initialize.js, openai.js, and responses.js with a single call to
  loadSkillStates from @librechat/api. One helper, three sites

- Swap console.error for the project logger in the controller
  (Review LibreChat-AI#7)

- Remove the redundant INVALID_KEY_PATTERN regex: a valid ObjectId
  cannot contain . or $, so isValidObjectIdString already covers it
  (Review LibreChat-AI#11)

- Parameterize the 200-cap error toast with {{0}} interpolation
  driven by the error response's `limit` field, so future changes to
  MAX_SKILL_STATES update the UI message automatically (Review LibreChat-AI#12)

- Add 24 unit tests for the new skillStates helpers (toRecord,
  resolveDefaultActiveOnShare, loadSkillStates, validateSkillStates-
  Payload, pruneOrphanSkillStates) covering success paths, malformed
  input, cap boundaries, and parallel-query behavior (Review LibreChat-AI#4)

- Add 10 tests for injectSkillCatalog pagination covering empty
  accessible set, missing listSkillsByAccess, single-page filter,
  owned-vs-shared defaults, explicit-override precedence, multi-page
  collection, MAX_CATALOG_PAGES safety cap, early termination on
  has_more=false, additional_instructions injection, and fail-closed
  without userId (Review LibreChat-AI#5)

Total test count: 60 (was 26 on this surface).

* fix: rename skillStates ValidationError to avoid barrel-export collision

packages/api/src/types/error.ts already exports a ValidationError
(MongooseError extension). Re-exporting a different shape from
skills/skillStates.ts through the skills barrel caused TS2308 in CI
because the root index re-exports both. Rename to
SkillStatesValidationError to keep the exports disjoint.

* refactor: tighten tests and absorb caller guard into loadSkillStates

Address the followup review findings:

- Add optional `accessibleSkillIds` param to loadSkillStates so the
  helper short-circuits to defaults when no skills are accessible.
  All three controllers drop the residual 7-line conditional wrapper
  in favor of a single destructured call (Review #2)

- Remove the unreachable `typeof key !== 'string'` check from
  validateSkillStatesPayload: Object.entries always yields string
  keys per the JS spec (Review LibreChat-AI#3)

- Replace the two `as unknown as` agent casts in the injectSkillCatalog
  tests with a `makeAgent()` factory typed directly as the function's
  parameter shape (Review LibreChat-AI#4)

- Tighten the MAX_CATALOG_PAGES assertion from `toBeLessThanOrEqual(11)`
  to `toHaveBeenCalledTimes(10)` — the loop deterministically makes
  exactly 10 page fetches before hitting the cap (Review #1)

- Rewrite the parallel-execution test for pruneOrphanSkillStates using
  deferred promises instead of microtask-order assertions. The test
  now inspects `toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1)` on both mocks after a single
  Promise.resolve() yield, pinning Promise.all usage without relying
  on push-order into a shared array (Review LibreChat-AI#5)

- Evict stale writeQueue entries on user change via a module-scoped
  `lastSeenUserId` sentinel. When a different user's toggle is the
  first one after a logout/login, the previous user's queue entry is
  deleted. Keeps the Map bounded without adding hook-instance effect
  cleanup (Review LibreChat-AI#6)

* fix(test): mock loadSkillStates in openai and responses controller specs

The prior refactor replaced the inline 12-line skillStates loading
block with a call to loadSkillStates from @librechat/api. Both
controller spec files mock @librechat/api as a flat object, so any
new named import from that package is undefined in the test env.
Calling `await loadSkillStates(...)` threw before recordCollectedUsage
ran, surfacing as "undefined is not iterable" on the test's array
destructure of `mockRecordCollectedUsage.mock.calls[0]`.

Add the missing mock to both spec files alongside the existing
scopeSkillIds stub.

* fix: abandon stale skillStates write queues on user switch

Close the cross-session leak window where an in-flight flush loop
still holds a reference to a previous user's queue: it could fire its
next mutateAsync under the new session's auth cookies and persist
the stale snapshot to the new user's document (Codex P1).

Add an `abandoned` flag on `WriteQueue`. Three mechanisms cooperate:

- `getWriteQueue` marks every non-active queue abandoned when the
  user differs from the last-seen identity (pre-existing eviction
  site, now more aggressive).
- A `useEffect` on `userId` calls the same abandonment pass on every
  render with a new active identity, covering the window between
  logout/login and the new user's first toggle (when `getWriteQueue`
  would otherwise not fire).
- The flush loop checks `!queue.abandoned` in its while condition so
  the second and later iterations exit without firing another
  `mutateAsync` after the session changes.

The first iteration's in-flight request (already dispatched under the
original user's cookies) still runs to completion or failure on its
own — only the subsequent iterations, which are the dangerous ones,
are blocked.
