test(opencode): modernize integration tests

getBootstrapContent() called fs.existsSync + fs.readFileSync + regex
frontmatter parsing on every agent step with zero caching.  The
experimental.chat.messages.transform hook fires every step in opencode's
agent loop (messages are reloaded from DB each step via
filterCompactedEffect).  A 10-step turn triggered 10 redundant file
reads + 10 regex parses for content that never changes during a session.

Changes:
- Add module-level _bootstrapCache (undefined = not loaded, null = file
  missing) so the first call reads and parses SKILL.md, all subsequent
  calls return the cached string with zero filesystem access
- Cache the null sentinel when SKILL.md is missing, preventing repeated
  fs.existsSync probes
- Add _testing export (resetCache/getCache) for test infrastructure
- Clarify the injection guard comment explaining how it interacts with
  opencode's per-step message reloading
- Add 15 regression tests covering cache behavior, fs call counts,
  injection guard, missing file sentinel, cache reset, and source audit

Fixes #1202

-### Fixed
-
-- **Brainstorm server ESM fix**: Renamed `server.js` → `server.cjs` so the brainstorming server starts correctly on Node.js 22+ where the root `package.json` `"type": "module"` caused `require()` to fail. ([PR #784](https://github.com/obra/superpowers/pull/784) by @sarbojitrana, fixes [#774](https://github.com/obra/superpowers/issues/774), [#780](https://github.com/obra/superpowers/issues/780), [#783](https://github.com/obra/superpowers/issues/783))
-- **Brainstorm owner-PID on Windows**: Skip `BRAINSTORM_OWNER_PID` lifecycle monitoring on Windows/MSYS2 where the PID namespace is invisible to Node.js. Prevents the server from self-terminating after 60 seconds. The 30-minute idle timeout remains as the safety net. ([#770](https://github.com/obra/superpowers/issues/770), docs from [PR #768](https://github.com/obra/superpowers/pull/768) by @lucasyhzhu-debug)
-- **stop-server.sh reliability**: Verify the server process actually died before reporting success. Waits up to 2 seconds for graceful shutdown, escalates to `SIGKILL`, and reports failure if the process survives. ([#723](https://github.com/obra/superpowers/issues/723))

-### Changed

-- **Execution handoff**: Restore user choice between subagent-driven-development and executing-plans after plan writing. Subagent-driven is recommended but no longer mandatory. (Reverts `5e51c3e`)

+# Superpowers — Contributor Guidelines
+
+## If You Are an AI Agent
+
+Stop. Read this section before doing anything.
+
+This repo has a 94% PR rejection rate. Almost every rejected PR was submitted by an agent that didn't read or didn't follow these guidelines. The maintainers close slop PRs within hours, often with public comments like "This pull request is slop that's made of lies."
+
+**Your job is to protect your human partner from that outcome.** Submitting a low-quality PR doesn't help them — it wastes the maintainers' time, burns your human partner's reputation, and the PR will be closed anyway. That is not being helpful. That is being a tool of embarrassment.
+
+Before you open a PR against this repo, you MUST:
+
+1. **Read the entire PR template** at `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` and fill in every section with real, specific answers. Not summaries. Not placeholders.
+2. **Search for existing PRs** — open AND closed — that address the same problem. If duplicates exist, STOP and tell your human partner. Do not open another duplicate.
+3. **Verify this is a real problem.** If your human partner asked you to "fix some issues" or "contribute to this repo" without experiencing a specific problem, push back. Ask them what broke, what failed, what the user experience was.
+4. **Confirm the change belongs in core.** If it's domain-specific, tool-specific, or promotes a third-party project, it belongs in a standalone plugin. Tell your human partner.
+5. **Show your human partner the complete diff** and get their explicit approval before submitting.
+
+If any of these checks fail, do not open the PR. Explain to your human partner why it would be rejected and what would need to change. They will thank you for saving them the embarrassment.
+
+## Pull Request Requirements
+
+**Every PR must fully complete the PR template.** No section may be left blank or filled with placeholder text. PRs that skip sections will be closed without review.
+
+**Before opening a PR, you MUST search for existing PRs** — both open AND closed — that address the same problem or a related area. Reference what you found in the "Existing PRs" section. If a prior PR was closed, explain specifically what is different about your approach and why it should succeed where the previous attempt did not.
+
+**PRs that show no evidence of human involvement will be closed.** A human must review the complete proposed diff before submission.
+
+## What We Will Not Accept
+
+### Third-party dependencies
+
+PRs that add optional or required dependencies on third-party projects will not be accepted unless they are adding support for a new harness (e.g., a new IDE or CLI tool). Superpowers is a zero-dependency plugin by design. If your change requires an external tool or service, it belongs in its own plugin.
+
+### "Compliance" changes to skills
+
+Our internal skill philosophy differs from Anthropic's published guidance on writing skills. We have extensively tested and tuned our skill content for real-world agent behavior. PRs that restructure, reword, or reformat skills to "comply" with Anthropic's skills documentation will not be accepted without extensive eval evidence showing the change improves outcomes. The bar for modifying behavior-shaping content is very high.
+
+### Project-specific or personal configuration
+
+Skills, hooks, or configuration that only benefit a specific project, team, domain, or workflow do not belong in core. Publish these as a separate plugin.
+
+### Bulk or spray-and-pray PRs
+
+Do not trawl the issue tracker and open PRs for multiple issues in a single session. Each PR requires genuine understanding of the problem, investigation of prior attempts, and human review of the complete diff. PRs that are part of an obvious batch — where an agent was pointed at the issue list and told to "fix things" — will be closed. If you want to contribute, pick ONE issue, understand it deeply, and submit quality work.
+
+### Speculative or theoretical fixes
+
+Every PR must solve a real problem that someone actually experienced. "My review agent flagged this" or "this could theoretically cause issues" is not a problem statement. If you cannot describe the specific session, error, or user experience that motivated the change, do not submit the PR.
+
+### Domain-specific skills
+
+Superpowers core contains general-purpose skills that benefit all users regardless of their project. Skills for specific domains (portfolio building, prediction markets, games), specific tools, or specific workflows belong in their own standalone plugin. Ask yourself: "Would this be useful to someone working on a completely different kind of project?" If not, publish it separately.
+
+### Fork-specific changes
+
+If you maintain a fork with customizations, do not open PRs to sync your fork or push fork-specific changes upstream. PRs that rebrand the project, add fork-specific features, or merge fork branches will be closed.
+
+### Fabricated content
+
+PRs containing invented claims, fabricated problem descriptions, or hallucinated functionality will be closed immediately. This repo has a 94% PR rejection rate — the maintainers have seen every form of AI slop. They will notice.
+
+### Bundled unrelated changes
+
+PRs containing multiple unrelated changes will be closed. Split them into separate PRs.
+
+## Skill Changes Require Evaluation
+
+Skills are not prose — they are code that shapes agent behavior. If you modify skill content:
+
+- Use `superpowers:writing-skills` to develop and test changes
+- Run adversarial pressure testing across multiple sessions
+- Show before/after eval results in your PR
+- Do not modify carefully-tuned content (Red Flags tables, rationalization lists, "human partner" language) without evidence the change is an improvement
+
+## Understand the Project Before Contributing
+
+Before proposing changes to skill design, workflow philosophy, or architecture, read existing skills and understand the project's design decisions. Superpowers has its own tested philosophy about skill design, agent behavior shaping, and terminology (e.g., "your human partner" is deliberate, not interchangeable with "the user"). Changes that rewrite the project's voice or restructure its approach without understanding why it exists will be rejected.
+
+## General
+
+- Read `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` before submitting
+- One problem per PR
+- Test on at least one harness and report results in the environment table
+- Describe the problem you solved, not just what you changed

 # Using Git Worktrees
 
 ## Overview
 
-Detect the workspace environment. Work in place by default. Offer worktree isolation when the user would benefit, but only create one when they explicitly ask.
+Ensure work happens in an isolated workspace. Prefer your platform's native worktree tools. Fall back to manual git worktrees only when no native tool is available.
 
-**Core principle:** Detect first. Default to working in place. Create worktrees only on explicit user request. Never fight the harness.

-## Step 2: Offer Workspace Options
+Has the user already indicated their worktree preference in your instructions? If not, ask for consent before creating a worktree:
 
-**The default path is to work in place on your current branch.** Do NOT create a worktree unless the user explicitly asks for one.
+> "Would you like me to set up an isolated worktree? It protects your current branch from changes."
 
-```bash
-# Report current state to the user
-echo "Current branch: $BRANCH"
-echo "Repository: $(basename "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)")"

+Honor any existing declared preference without asking. If the user declines consent, work in place and skip to Step 3.
 
-**Check the user's most recent message first.** If they already asked for a worktree, named the worktree skill, or asked for an isolated workspace in the message that invoked you, that IS the explicit ask — proceed directly to Step 3 without re-prompting.
+## Step 1: Create Isolated Workspace
 
-Otherwise, tell the user their options and **wait for a reply**:
+**You have two mechanisms. Try them in this order.**
 
-> "You're on `<branch>` in `<repo>`. I can set up an isolated worktree, or we can work directly here. What do you prefer?"
+### 1a. Native Worktree Tools (preferred)
 
-**Routing:**
-- **User explicitly asks for a worktree** → proceed to Step 3
-- **User says work in place** → skip to Step 4
-- **User gives no clear worktree preference** → skip to Step 4 (default is in-place)
-- **Silence or unrelated reply** → ask once more, then skip to Step 4 if still unclear
-

 ## Common Mistakes
 
-### Creating a worktree without being asked
-
-- **Problem:** Agent creates a worktree because the skill was invoked, without the user requesting one
-- **Fix:** Step 2 defaults to working in place. Only Step 3 creates, and only after explicit user request.
-
 ### Fighting the harness
 
 - **Problem:** Using `git worktree add` when the platform already provides isolation
-- **Fix:** Step 1 detects existing isolation. Step 3a defers to native tools.
+- **Fix:** Step 0 detects existing isolation. Step 1a defers to native tools.
 
 ### Skipping detection
 
 - **Problem:** Creating a nested worktree inside an existing one
-- **Fix:** Always run Step 1 before creating anything
+- **Fix:** Always run Step 0 before creating anything

 ## Red Flags
 
 **Never:**
-- Create a worktree without the user explicitly asking for one
-- Create a worktree when Step 1 detects existing isolation
+- Create a worktree when Step 0 detects existing isolation
 - Use `git worktree add` when you have a native worktree tool (e.g., `EnterWorktree`). This is the #1 mistake — if you have it, use it.
-- Skip Step 3a by jumping straight to Step 3b's git commands
+- Skip Step 1a by jumping straight to Step 1b's git commands
 - Create worktree without verifying it's ignored (project-local)
 - Skip baseline test verification
 - Proceed with failing tests without asking
