Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat!: make Data Machine mandatory, drop
 --no-data-machine
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

wp-coding-agents composes on top of Data Machine — memory files, auto-
composed AGENTS.md, skills, workspace primitive, MCP surface. Without DM
the installer degrades to "npm i -g claude + write a settings.json,"
which is not a product.

Breaking: `--no-data-machine` is removed from setup.sh and upgrade.sh.
Everyone gets DM. If a user changes their mind after the fact they can
disable/uninstall the plugin via the admin UI.

Managed-host framing is also dropped: wp-coding-agents is a local/VPS
installer that runs node, npm, and systemd/launchd, so it was never
going to work on WP.com / VIP / Pressable regardless of DM. The Data
Machine plugin on its own is a normal WP plugin and can run on managed
hosts — that's a separate onboarding path, not a setup.sh flag.

Scope of cleanup:
- setup.sh: drop flag, default, and help entry. Shebang comment reframes
  DM as substrate.
- upgrade.sh: drop INSTALL_DATA_MACHINE default + the guard around
  regenerate_agents_md. Drift-check now always announces DM plugin
  install in dry-run.
- lib/data-machine.sh: drop --no-data-machine skip branch from
  install_data_machine and create_dm_agent.
- lib/skills.sh: Data Machine skills repo is now always cloned.
- lib/detect.sh / lib/summary.sh: drop DM conditionals and credentials
  field. Summary unconditionally prints the DM block.
- lib/repair-opencode-json.py: drop required --install-dm arg; the
  `dm-context-filter.ts` + `dm-agent-sync.ts` plugins are now keyed on
  CHAT_BRIDGE == kimaki alone.
- runtimes/claude-code.sh, studio-code.sh, opencode.sh:
  - runtime_discover_dm_paths: drop early-return on !DM.
  - runtime_generate_config: collapse IF_DATA_MACHINE / IF_NO_DATA_MACHINE
    branching into a single DM-included code path. CLAUDE.md template
    loses its conditional sentinels; only the Studio conditional remains.
  - runtime_install_hooks: drop early-return on !DM. SessionStart hook
    + workspace allow rules always install.
  - runtime_generate_instructions: `wp datamachine agent compose AGENTS.md`
    is now the default; static template remains only as a dry-run /
    compose-failure fallback.
  - opencode permission block + DM kimaki plugins always wire up.
- workspace/CLAUDE.md.tmpl: remove {{IF_DATA_MACHINE}} /
  {{IF_NO_DATA_MACHINE}} sentinel pair.
- README.md: drop --no-data-machine row, reframe the old "With/Without
  DM" section as "What Data Machine Gives You."
- skills/wp-coding-agents-setup/SKILL.md: drop Autonomous Operation
  question (Q3 — was the --no-data-machine proxy), drop the "no DM"
  command table rows, renumber remaining questions.

docs/changelog.md is untouched (historical entries stay accurate;
CHANGELOG is regenerated from commits at release per repo convention).

 On activation, Data Machine creates a default agent for the first admin user and scaffolds all three layers. Each additional agent gets its own SOUL.md and MEMORY.md when created, sharing the same SITE.md and USER.md. All discovered files are injected into every session via the runtime's config — `opencode.json` (`{file:}` includes) for OpenCode, `CLAUDE.md` (`@` includes) for Claude Code and Studio Code. The agent doesn't manage memory infrastructure — it just reads and writes these files. DM handles the rest.
 
-**Runtime sync (Claude Code / Studio Code):** A SessionStart hook queries Data Machine on every session start and updates the `@` includes in CLAUDE.md. New agents created after setup are automatically discovered — no manual config regeneration needed. Claude Code's built-in auto-memory is disabled when Data Machine is installed, since DM handles memory. Studio Code uses the same hook mechanism — it runs the Claude Agent SDK with the `claude_code` preset, which loads `.claude/settings.json` hooks by default.

 ## Abilities
 
 Data Machine exposes all agent functionality through WordPress core's [Abilities API](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_register_ability/) (`wp_register_ability`). Every tool an agent can use is a native WordPress primitive — discoverable, permissioned, and executable via REST, CLI, or chat. No proprietary abstraction layer.

+Data Machine is the substrate wp-coding-agents composes on top of — memory, scheduling, workspace, abilities. It is not optional. Installing wp-coding-agents means installing DM. Uninstall the plugin after the fact if you change your mind.

 - Self-scheduling via flows and cron
 - Task queues for multi-phase projects

 ## Why Root? (VPS only)
 
 wp-coding-agents defaults to running the agent as `root` on VPS installs. On a single-purpose agent VPS, root keeps things simple:

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] chore: tighten three DM-conditional comments missed in
 the first pass
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

With DM mandatory, "When Data Machine is installed, …" and "only when DM
memory is surfaced via Kimaki" read as vestigial. Rewrite them to pin
the real condition: the chat bridge being Kimaki, since that's what
actually gates the dm-context-filter / dm-agent-sync plugins.

- README.md: Kimaki "Filter redundant context" bullet drops the DM
  clause.
- runtimes/opencode.sh: comment above the Kimaki plugins block pins on
  "bridge is Kimaki" instead of "DM memory surfaced via Kimaki".
- lib/repair-opencode-json.py: same comment update in expected_plugins().

No behavior change.
