## What changed
Add the disabled-by-default `omit_skill_descriptions` feature flag to omit descriptions from model-visible host, executor, and cloud skill catalogs while retaining names and locators. Adapt catalog introductions, usage instructions, and alias budget accounting to the selected policy.
Persist the description policy in catalog snapshots and refresh usage instructions when it changes. Ignore description-only edits in catalog deltas while descriptions are omitted.
## Testing
Add coverage for alias token budgets, policy changes with older snapshots, and suppressed description-only updates. Extend scenario snapshots to cover plugin visibility and catalog deduplication with descriptions omitted.

## What changed
- Add the disabled-by-default `skill_catalog_deltas` feature flag to append new and updated skills without repeating unchanged catalog entries.
- Share a cumulative metadata budget across executor, cloud, and host catalogs, preserving usage across turns and resume. Removals emit no update and do not refund budget.
- Rebuild the current catalog and reset its budget after compaction, including any required skill root mappings in updates.
## Testing
Add unit and integration coverage for update costs, shared source budgets, feature rollback, and catalog updates across resume and compaction, with a request-history snapshot.

## Why
Skill tools depended on World State rendering to initialize their catalogs and could return `skill catalog is not ready for this step` before rendering completed.
## What changed
- Add an asynchronous `ToolContributor::prepare_for_step` hook and await all contributors before constructing tools.
- Prepare immutable skill catalogs, aliases, plugin policy, and configuration for each step. Tools, invocation detection, and World State rendering consume the prepared state without relying on rendering to perform discovery.
- Apply configuration reloads to subsequent steps while preserving live authorization checks for skill reads.
## Testing
Add coverage for preparation completing before tool construction and World State rendering, skill tools working before rendering, catalogs remaining stable across steps, and configuration reloads during discovery.

## Why
A skill can be available from Cloud and multiple executor environments. Reading its instructions needs to expose where supporting files live and allow discovery of locations omitted by response limits. Package aliases also need to keep identifying the same roots as catalogs change.
## What changed
- With executor capability discovery V2, add `skills.installations` to list enabled locations with source filtering and pagination, without reading skill contents.
- Let `skills.read` select Cloud or a specific executor environment through `source`. Return bounded installation metadata and an `installations_truncated` flag so callers can retrieve omitted locations.
- Share bounded, append-only alias assignments between catalog rendering and tools within a live thread. Preserve each step's alias snapshot and render only root mappings used by its catalog entries.
- Use discovery-root metadata when constructing executor skill locators, with a fallback when it is absent. Preserve the legacy read response and tool set outside discovery V2.
## Testing
Add coverage for installation filtering and pagination, response budgets, source-specific reads and cursors, and alias stability across catalog and plugin changes. Add an end-to-end scenario that discovers an omitted installation and reads its instructions from the selected environment.

## What changed
- Build executor skill catalogs from discovery V2 inventories without reopening host paths or falling back to legacy discovery.
- Merge Cloud and executor skills by remote plugin identity and skill name, retaining Cloud metadata and accepted provider read routes. Apply plugin selection and disablement before merging.
- Share a stable catalog across each step's rendering, list/read tools, and explicit and implicit skill invocations.
- Preserve unmatched executor entries when Cloud catalogs are unavailable or partial; only complete Cloud catalogs disable unmatched remote entries.
- Bind discovery caches to captured environments and executor sessions, and refresh MCP when V2 inventories change. Preserve pending invalidations when forced MCP refreshes fail.
## Testing
Add regression coverage for V2 inventory sharing and refresh, environment isolation, catalog merging, partial Cloud results, disabled plugins, and catalog consistency across steps and read routes.

## What changed
- Detect executor-owned skill document reads and script executions across native and URI-based working directories.
- Match skills only within the active execution environment while preserving host skill detection for local commands.
- Emit resource-backed implicit invocation events and deduplicate repeated accesses within a turn.
## Testing
- Add unit coverage for document reads, script executions, and environment-scoped matching.
- Add an integration test for environment selection, resource-backed analytics, and repeated-access deduplication.
