   Proposed work class: work-class: scoped
   Basis: automated intake triage; the lanes App applied this class.

   Size: Small
   Complexity: Medium
   Uncertainty: Knowable
   Flags: none
   Blocked by: none

   Understood: you want sync-run.sh in the harness-ops plugins skill to classify install and update results from claude plugin ... --json fields instead of scraping text. The docs show no old/new version field and no unset-userConfig field, so the scrape may have to stay in part.

   The three open questions can be settled by capturing real --json output from an update that changes a version and from an install with unset options. Until that output exists, the scope of the parser change is not fixed. No likely duplicates found. #6713, #6309, #5941, #6054 and #6055 are already listed as related.

   _{Automated triage, applied by the lanes App.}

   Owner batch-ratified this admission in an attended session on 2026-10-12: work-class: scoped. The basis is the evidence pre-pass's agent route, with no owner input needed and no trust surface touched.

   The triage sweep dispatched intake triage for this issue (attempt 1 of 2).

    The work-resolve-issue lane did not start this issue: it needs a person to make it clearer first.

    Why, in the run's own words:

    This issue needs real claude plugin --json output before anyone can build it, and that output cannot be captured in this lane. The first acceptance criterion asks for real --json output from (a) a claude plugin update that changes a version and (b) a claude plugin install that leaves userConfig options unset. Open questions 1 and 2 can only be answered from that output. The plugins CLI reference, re-read on 2026-10-25, still names only command, outcome and message for these results, plus pluginId, scope and failureCode when they apply. It names no old/new version field and no unset-userConfig field for install or update. This CI lane cannot run the claude CLI, so it cannot capture that output. Writing a parser against fields nobody has seen would be a guess. A person needs to do one of these: (1) run claude plugin update <id> --json on a plugin with a newer version, and claude plugin install <id> --json on a plugin whose manifest declares userConfig options you have not set (Claude Code 2.1.268 or later), then paste the last stdout line of each into the issue or a fixture; or (2) settle open question 3 with a recorded decision. For example: classify only outcome/failureCode from --json; keep the version-pair scrape, now on message; and take unset options from claude plugin configure <id> --json (unconfigured) instead of scraping the install text.

    What the run says it did not do:

    • Capturing real claude plugin update --json and claude plugin install --json output (acceptance criterion 1). This lane cannot run the claude CLI.
    • Changing how sync-run.sh classifies results, and the matching sync-run.test.sh updates. Blocked on the captured output or a recorded decision.

    Run: https://github.com/melodic-software/claude-code-plugins/actions/runs/40208763546

    To retry, answer the question here, remove needs-human and add agent-ready again.

    Routed to the host runner, not the owner. Acceptance needs real claude plugin update --json and claude plugin install --json output, which the issue lane cannot capture (https://github.com/melodic-software/claude-code-plugins/actions/runs/40208763546).

    Under the owner's 2026-10-26 stop rule, a person is needed only for a change in intent or vision, an implementation finding that changes the intent or primary design, or a high or critical security issue; host, attended and eval runs are agent work. So needs-human comes off. It moves to the host-run label, and the host runner takes it.
