+//
+//   deterministic-suite.mjs <plugin-dir> <out-name>
+//
+// Reads the plugin's eval dir (the manifest's experimental.evals, else
+// evals/) and writes <plugin-dir>/<out-name>/ holding every file of it except
+// results/ and the cases with an llm or baseline grader. `claude plugin eval
+// --eval-dir <out-name>` then runs only the deterministic cases. Prints
+// {"evalDir", "kept", "dropped"} as JSON, case paths relative to the eval dir.
+//
+// A case is a directory holding prompt.md or case.yaml, found the way
+// /evals:validate's validate-cases.py finds one. It is dropped when its
+// case.yaml or any graders/*.md names type llm or baseline anywhere, quoted
+// or not: run after that validator passes, every grader has one of the six
+// types, so a case with no such line has deterministic graders only, and a
+// stray match only drops a case, never keeps a paid one.
+//

+//
+// - every changed path of a selected plugin sits under skills/, agents/ or
+//   evals/;
+// - every changed path under skills/ or agents/ is markdown, since a script
+//   there can be called by an unchanged hook, server or skill;
+// - a changed markdown file under skills/ or agents/ keeps, between --base
+//   and --head in the git repository --repo, every frontmatter key outside
+//   SAFE_KEYS (hooks, allowed-tools, shell and the rest), in a frontmatter
+//   shape frontmatter() can read and with no YAML alias in those keys, and
+//   adds or changes no `!` shell-preprocessing line or ```! block, and
+//   changes no body text of a file that already has one. Without --repo it
+//   cannot be read, so it is refused;
+// - every changed path under evals/ is a case file: prompt.md, case.yaml,
+//   graders/<name>.md or samples/**/<name>.json in a case directory. A
+//   scaffold script, a fixture (scaffold scripts run fixtures/ seed scripts
+//   outside the sandbox) or a stub plugin is refused;
+// - a changed prompt.md or case.yaml keeps every key outside CASE_SAFE_KEYS
+//   (allowed_tools, env, context and its scaffold_script,
+//   growthbook_overrides and the rest), and in case.yaml every execution key outside
+//   CASE_SAFE_EXECUTION_KEYS, in a shape frontmatter() can read;
+// - every case in a selected plugin's tree at --head loads, through its
+//   `plugins:` key, only the plugin's own root or a directory inside the
+//   plugin with no changed path under it. A plugin a case loads runs its
+//   hooks outside the sandbox, and no rule above inspects another plugin or
+//   a stub directory. Without --repo the cases cannot be read, so the plugin
+//   is refused;
+// - no path is one git quoted (a leading `"`), whose real name is unknown;
+// - a selected plugin's tree at --head holds no symlink or submodule, since
+//   the loader follows a link to content no rule above inspected. Without
+//   --repo the tree cannot be read, so the plugin is refused.

+# select-plugins.mjs lets a selected plugin through only when every change is
+# allowlisted: an eval case file (prompt.md, case.yaml, graders/*.md,
+# samples/**/*.json) that keeps allowed_tools, env, context and the other
+# run keys, or markdown under skills/ or agents/ that keeps its

 that lane's own invocation overrides it. Remove the label to release the PR.

+PR changes, deterministic graders only, under `--max-cost-usd`, with a PASS or NOT COMPARABLE
+verdict per case in the job summary. Only a listed human's label starts a run, and a selected plugin
+is refused when it changes anything but its eval case files (`prompt.md`, `case.yaml`,
+`graders/*.md`, `samples/**/*.json`) and the markdown in its `skills/` or `agents/`, changes a
+case's `allowed_tools`, `env`, `context` or other run keys, has a case that loads another plugin or a directory the
+PR changes, changes a skill's or agent's tool, hook or shell settings, or holds a symlink or
+submodule. It is
+advisory: no required check reads it. Add the label again to run the current head.
