refactor: remove cross-repo contract tests from devx

devx tests were validating infra, grm, sso-bridge, and Mattermost OIDC workflow/skill files. This is an architecture violation — devx must not be aware of other repos. Those repos consume devx, not the other way round. Tests now only validate devx's own workflows and skills.

 # dependency-graph
 Map of the oblachno ecosystem. Knows which repo produces what, which
 repos depend on which, and the correct order for cross-repo changes.
 ## When to Invoke
 Invoke this skill when:
 - Changes span multiple repos
 - A change in one repo requires version bumps in downstream repos
 - Deploying infrastructure that depends on published packages/images
 - Verifying the ecosystem is in a consistent state before deployment
 - Determining which repos to update and in what order
 ## Prerequisites
 - All repos cloned under `/home/emo/dev/ideas/oblachno/`
 - `.env` with `DEVELOPER_GITEA_API_TOKEN` in each repo
 ## Ecosystem Map

                   /    |    \
                  /     |     \

                          (infra pulls :latest at deploy)
 ```
 ## Repositories
 | Repo | Produces | Consumers | Release Trigger |
 |------|----------|-----------|-----------------|
 | `devx` | PyPI package `devx` | grm, sso-bridge, infra | User-facing changes to `src/devx/**` |
 | `grm` | PyPI package `grm` | infra | User-facing changes to `src/grm/**` or `ansible/**` |
 | `sso-bridge` | PyPI package `sso_bridge` + Docker image | infra | User-facing changes to `src/sso_bridge/**` or `ansible/**` |
 | `infra` | Staging/production deployment | (end users) | User-facing changes + nightly gate |
 | `mattermost-oidc` | Docker image `mattermost-oidc` | infra (pulls at deploy) | `Dockerfile` or `build.yml` changes |
 ## Dependency Chain
 ### devx → all repos
 devx publishes to the Gitea PyPI registry. grm, sso-bridge, and infra
 pin devx in `pyproject.toml`:
 ```toml
 "devx @ git+https://git.oblachno.oblachno.fyi/oblachno-oss/devx.git@vX.Y.Z"
 ```
 When devx publishes a new version:
 1. grm, sso-bridge, and infra must bump their pinned devx version
 2. This is currently manual — no auto-dependency-PR from devx
 3. Each repo must `make setup` to pick up the new version
 ### grm → infra
 grm publishes to PyPI. Its post-merge workflow auto-creates an infra
 dependency PR via `devx.ci.create_dependency_pr --repo oblachno/infra
 --package grm`. The PR bumps the pinned grm version in infra's
 `pyproject.toml`.
 ### sso-bridge → infra
 sso-bridge publishes to PyPI AND builds a Docker image. Its post-merge
 workflow auto-creates an infra dependency PR via
 `devx.ci.create_dependency_pr --repo oblachno/infra --package
 sso_bridge`. The PR bumps the pinned sso_bridge version.
 The Docker image is pulled by infra at deploy time (`sso-bridge:latest`).
 ### mattermost-oidc → infra
 mattermost-oidc builds a Docker image tagged `:latest` and `:MM_VERSION`.
 infra pulls `mattermost-oidc:latest` at deploy time. There is no
 auto-dependency-PR — infra simply pulls the latest image.
 ### infra → staging/production
 infra deploys to staging and production. The deployment:
 1. Provisions VMs from golden images
 2. Runs Ansible roles (including grm and sso-bridge roles)
 3. Pulls Docker images (sso-bridge, mattermost-oidc)
 4. Configures services
 ## Correct Order for Cross-Repo Changes
 When a change spans multiple repos, follow this order:
 1. **devx first** — if the change starts in devx, merge and publish devx
   first. Wait for the PyPI publish job to complete.
 2. **Bump devx in consumers** — in grm/sso-bridge/infra, bump the pinned
   devx version, run `make setup`, verify tests pass, merge.
 3. **grm/sso-bridge second** — merge and publish grm/sso-bridge. Wait
   for the PyPI publish + Docker image build to complete.
 4. **Auto-dependency-PRs** — grm/sso-bridge post-merge auto-creates infra
   PRs to bump pinned versions. Wait for these PRs to appear.
 5. **Merge infra dependency PRs** — review and merge the auto-created
   infra PRs.
 6. **infra last** — deploy to staging, validate, promote to production.
 ## State Verification Before Deployment
 Before deploying infra, verify:
 1. **devx version consistent** — all repos pin the same devx version
 2. **grm published** — latest grm tag exists in PyPI
 3. **sso-bridge published** — latest sso_bridge tag exists in PyPI
 4. **sso-bridge image built** — latest sso-bridge Docker image exists
 5. **mattermost-oidc image built** — latest mattermost-oidc image exists
 6. **infra pins match published versions** — no stale pins
 7. **Nightly gate green** — `NIGHTLY_STATUS` is not `failed`
 ## Quick Check Commands

 # deployment-coordination
 How devx releases propagate to downstream repos. devx is the base
 package — all other repos pin it. A devx release must complete before
 consumers can bump.
 ## When to Invoke
 Invoke this skill when:
 - Changes to devx affect downstream repos (grm, sso-bridge, infra)
 - Preparing a devx release that other repos depend on
 - Verifying downstream repos have bumped to the latest devx version
 - Coordinating a multi-repo change that starts in devx
 ## Prerequisites
 - devx repo at `/home/emo/dev/ideas/oblachno/devx`
 - `.env` with `DEVELOPER_GITEA_API_TOKEN`
 - See `dependency-graph` skill for the full ecosystem map
 ## What devx Produces
 devx publishes a Python package to the Gitea PyPI registry. Downstream
 repos pin it:
 ```toml
 "devx @ git+https://git.oblachno.oblachno.fyi/oblachno-oss/devx.git@vX.Y.Z"
 ```
 ## Release Flow
 1. PR merged to master
 2. Post-merge workflow runs `devx.ci.release` — classifies changes
 3. If user-facing changes: git-cliff bumps version, creates tag, pushes
 4. `devx.ci.publish` builds and publishes to Gitea PyPI registry
 5. Downstream repos must bump their pinned devx version
 ## Downstream Consumers
 | Repo | Pin location | Auto-bump? |
 |------|-------------|------------|
 | grm | `pyproject.toml` | No — manual |
 | sso-bridge | `pyproject.toml` | No — manual |
 | infra | `pyproject.toml` | No — manual |
 devx does NOT auto-create dependency PRs in downstream repos. Bumping
 is manual: create a PR in each downstream repo to update the pinned
 version.
 ## Coordinating a devx Change
 When a change to devx affects downstream repos:
 1. **Merge devx PR** — wait for post-merge publish to complete
 2. **Verify publish** — check the new tag exists:
   ```bash
   curl -sS -H "Authorization: token $DEVELOPER_GITEA_API_TOKEN" \
     https://git.oblachno.oblachno.fyi/api/v1/repos/oblachno-oss/devx/releases/latest \
     | python3 -c "import json,sys; print(json.load(sys.stdin).get('tag_name','?'))"
   ```
 3. **Bump downstream repos** — for each repo (grm, sso-bridge, infra):
   - Update `devx @ ...@vX.Y.Z` in `pyproject.toml`
   - Run `make setup` to install the new version
   - Run `make pytest-cov` to verify compatibility
   - Create and merge a PR
 4. **Verify infra deploys** — after infra bumps, verify staging deploy
   picks up the new devx version
 ## State Verification
 Before starting a devx change, verify current state:
 ```bash
 # Current devx version
 grep '__version__' /home/emo/dev/ideas/oblachno/devx/src/devx/__init__.py
 # What each repo pins
 for repo in grm sso-bridge infra; do
  echo -n "$repo pins: "
  grep 'devx @' /home/emo/dev/ideas/oblachno/$repo/pyproject.toml | grep -oP 'v[\d.]+'
 done
 ```
 If pins are inconsistent across repos, bump them to the latest published
 version before starting new work.
 ## Common Mistakes
 - Merging a devx PR and immediately merging downstream PRs without
  waiting for the publish job to complete
 - Forgetting to bump infra (it has the most complex deploy pipeline)
 - Bumping only one downstream repo when the change affects all three

 # skill-creation
 How to create, validate, and maintain Devin skills. Skills must be
 clear, succinct, and actionable — no AI slop.
 ## When to Invoke
 Invoke this skill when:
 - Creating a new skill
 - Amending an existing skill
 - Evaluating whether a skill is needed
 - Reviewing a PR that adds or modifies skills
 ## Prerequisites
 - Skill directory: `.devin/skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md`
 - Validator: `tests/test_skills.py` (infra) or reference to it
 - Tests: `tests/unit/test_skills_validation.py` (infra)
 ## When to Create a Skill
 Create a skill when:
 - An agent struggles with a task repeatedly (branch hygiene, PR order)
 - A workflow has non-obvious ordering constraints (deployment coordination)
 - A task requires specific tool usage over raw commands (CI monitoring)
 - Multiple agents need shared context (dependency graph)
 Do NOT create a skill for:
 - One-off tasks (use a spec instead)
 - Tasks already covered by AGENTS.md
 - Tasks that are obvious from the Makefile or README
 - Tasks that change frequently (skills should be stable)
 ## Skill Structure
 Every skill MUST have:
 ```markdown
 # <skill-name>
 One-line description of what the skill does.
 ## When to Invoke
 2-4 bullet points describing when to use this skill.
 ## Prerequisites
 What must exist before using the skill (venv, .env, tools).
 ## <Core Content>
 The actual guidance. Keep it actionable.
 ## Verification (if applicable)
 How to verify the skill's guidance works.
 ## Common Mistakes (if applicable)
 What agents get wrong without this skill.
 ```
 ## Quality Standards
 ### Do
 - **Be specific.** Reference exact make targets, file paths, commands.
 - **Be concise.** Each section should be scannable in under 30 seconds.
 - **Be actionable.** Every paragraph should tell the agent what to DO.
 - **Use tables** for command reference, mappings, and comparisons.
 - **Use code blocks** for commands the agent should run.
 - **Link to other skills** when related (e.g., "See `dependency-graph` skill").
 ### Don't
 - **No preamble.** Don't start with "This skill helps agents..." — just state what it does.
 - **No filler.** Don't repeat information from AGENTS.md or other skills.
 - **No vague advice.** "Be careful with branches" is useless. "Run `git branch --show-current` before every commit" is useful.
 - **No AI slop.** Don't write "In this comprehensive guide, we will explore..." — just give the guidance.
 - **No redundant sections.** If "Common Mistakes" would repeat "When to Invoke", skip it.
 - **No marketing.** Don't describe the skill as "powerful" or "comprehensive".
 ## Scope Rules
 - **One skill per concern.** Don't mix branch hygiene with CI monitoring.
 - **Project-specific, not generic.** Skills reference this repo's make targets, file paths, and conventions — not abstract advice.
 - **Shared skills must be identical across repos.** Use `SHARED_SKILLS` in the validator to enforce this.
 - **Per-repo skills must reflect that repo's reality.** Don't copy infra-specific targets to sso-bridge.
 ## Automated Validation
 Every skill must pass the validator (`tests/test_skills.py`). The validator checks:
 1. **Structure** — H1 title, "When to Invoke" section, "Prerequisites" section
 2. **Commands** — referenced `make <target>` commands exist in Makefile or devx.mak
 3. **Paths** — referenced file paths exist in the repo
 4. **Shared skills** — identical content across repos (SHA-256 comparison)
 5. **No drift** — no references to nonexistent commands or files
 Run the validator:
 ```bash
 python3 tests/test_skills.py --repo infra --repo sso-bridge
 ```
 ## Effectiveness Evaluation
 ### Static Checks (automated, CI)
 The validator runs in CI as part of `make pytest-cov`. A failing skill
 test blocks the PR. This catches:
 - Missing sections
 - Invalid commands
 - Broken file references
 - Cross-repo drift
 ### Runtime Metrics (manual, periodic)
 Track these signals to evaluate skill effectiveness:
 - **Skill invocation frequency** — how often agents invoke the skill
 - **Success rate when invoked** — did the skill prevent the mistake it targets?
 - **Feedback issues** — agents create Gitea issues with `feedback` label when a skill is unclear or wrong
 - **Mistake recurrence** — if agents still make the mistake the skill targets, the skill needs improvement
 ### Retrospective Review
 Periodically (monthly or after major incidents) review skills:
 1. List all skills and their last-modified dates
 2. Check for feedback issues tagged `skill-improvement`
 3. Verify referenced commands still exist (run validator)
 4. Remove skills that are no longer relevant
 5. Update skills where mistakes still recur
 6. Document lessons in this skill's "Common Mistakes" section
 ## Creating a New Skill — Checklist
 - [ ] Identify the repeated struggle or non-obvious workflow
 - [ ] Check no existing skill covers it
 - [ ] Write the skill following the structure above
 - [ ] Run `python3 tests/test_skills.py` — must pass
 - [ ] Run `make pytest-cov` — must pass with 100% coverage
 - [ ] If shared across repos, copy identical content to each repo
 - [ ] Add the skill to `SHARED_SKILLS` in the validator if shared
 - [ ] Create PR, verify CI passes, merge

 # vikunja-tasks
 Vikunja task lifecycle beyond `create`: querying status, closing, and
 recovering when the tracker is unreachable.
 ## When to Invoke
 - Creating, closing, or checking a Vikunja task
 - A spec workflow step needs the task ID or done state
 - `vikunja.oblachno.oblachno.fyi` fails to resolve / times out
 ## Prerequisites
 - `.env` with `VIKUNJA_TOKEN`
 - Project ID comes from `[tool.devx]` in `pyproject.toml`
  (`DEVX_VIKUNJA_PROJECT_ID`)
 ## Create
 `make create-task` does **not** forward arguments — call the module:
 ```bash
 .venv/bin/python -m devx.tools.create_task \
  --title "Task title (no DEVX-N prefix)" \
  --description "<h2>Context</h2><p>...</p>"
 ```
 Prints `DEVX-N` + next steps. Title must not include the task-ID
 prefix (auto-merge prepends it; a manual prefix double-prefixes the
 PR title and fails validation).
 ## Query / Close
 ```bash
 # Task details (ID = numeric part of DEVX-N)
 curl -sf -H "Authorization: Bearer $VIKUNJA_TOKEN" \
  "https://vikunja.oblachno.oblachno.fyi/api/v1/tasks/<N>"
 # Close: mark done
 curl -sf -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $VIKUNJA_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"done":true}' \
  "https://vikunja.oblachno.oblachno.fyi/api/v1/tasks/<N>"
 ```
 Post-merge automation marks the task done when the PR squash-merges —
 manual close is only needed for abandoned/superseded tasks.
 ## Task-ID / Spec Collisions
 Vikunja IDs can collide with historical spec files (an old task reused
 the number). Convention: preserve the old file as
 `docs/specs/<ID>-<topic>-historical.md`, then write the new spec at
 `docs/specs/<ID>.md`. Check `git log` on the existing spec before
 moving it.
 ## Tracker Unreachable
 If the Vikunja host fails DNS/TLS:
 1. Don't block the whole workflow — record the intended task title in
   the spec draft and retry `create_task` before branching.
 2. Never invent an ID — branch/PR titles must match a real task or
   `pre_push_check` / auto-merge validation fails.
 3. DNS failures observed so far were transient; retry after a few
   minutes before escalating.
 ## Common Mistakes
 - `make create-task -- --title ...` — args are dropped; use the module
  call above (forwarding fix is S11 scope).
 - Including `DEVX-N:` in the task title — double prefix breaks
  auto-merge.
 - Closing a task whose PR is still open — auto-merge's post-merge
  step handles the close; manual close confuses the audit trail.

 # DEVX-161: Fix auto-merge self-approval: use CI bot token fallback
 ## Problem
 The auto-merge workflow posts an APPROVE review using
 `REVIEWER_GITEA_API_TOKEN`. When this token belongs to the same user

 to fail with HTTP 405 "Does not have enough approvals."

 rejection), fall back to `CI_GITEA_API_TOKEN` (kireto — CI bot account).

 # DEVX-162: Fix registry push race condition: serialize uploads + retry on HTTP 500
 ## Problem
 The Gitea container registry (v1.27.2) has a known race condition in
 `BlobUploader.Append()` where concurrent blob uploads cause the file
 offset and DB model to get out of sync, producing HTTP 500 "offset
 mismatch between file and model" errors. This causes the build-images
 workflow to fail intermittently when pushing runner images.
 The `package_blob_upload` table accumulates stale entries from failed
 uploads that worsen the problem over time.
 ## Approach
 Two fixes in devx (a third fix — scheduled cleanup — is tracked
 separately as OBL-INFRA-537):
 1. Set `DOCKER_MAX_CONCURRENT_UPLOADS=1` in the build-images workflow
   to serialize blob uploads and avoid the race condition.
 2. Add HTTP 500 retry logic to `push_image` in `build_image.py`.
   When a push fails with HTTP 500 (not "already exists"), retry up
   to 3 times with exponential backoff (5s, 10s, 20s).
 REQ-1: Build-images workflow sets DOCKER_MAX_CONCURRENT_UPLOADS=1
 REQ-2: push_image retries on HTTP 500 with exponential backoff

 # DEVX-162: Fix Gitea repo-variable read contract and fail closed on unknown nightly status
 ## Problem
 `GiteaClient.get_repo_variable()` reads `body["value"]`, but the deployed
 Gitea returns the variable payload in the `data` field:
 ```json
 {"owner_id":0,"repo_id":1,"name":"NIGHTLY_STATUS","data":"passed:5842","description":""}
 ```
 Every read therefore returns `None`. `devx.ci.nightly_gate --action check`
 interprets `None` as "bootstrap — allow deploy," so a real `failed:<run>` status
 is invisible and the gate is permanently fail-open. Infra nightly run 5800 set
 `NIGHTLY_STATUS=passed:5800` while platform/customer integration tests were
 still failing — and even a correct `failed` value would have been ignored.
 Additionally, an unrecognized non-empty status currently allows deploys
 (fail-open instead of fail-closed).
 Verified against the live API: `POST`/`PUT` accept `{"value": ...}` and work;
 only the GET response uses `data`. The earlier `DEVX-162` spec (registry push
 race) is preserved as `DEVX-162-registry-push-race-historical.md`.
 ## Approach
 REQ-1: `src/devx/api_clients.py` — `get_repo_variable` reads `data` first
 and falls back to `value` for older server/fixture compatibility. Write
 path unchanged (PUT/POST `{"value": ...}` verified live: 201/204).
 REQ-2: `src/devx/ci/nightly_gate.py` — unknown non-empty status blocks the
 deploy (fail closed) instead of allowing it. Unset (bootstrap) still
 allows.
 REQ-3: Tests cover the `data` field, the `value` fallback, and fail-closed
 unknown status.
 ## Test Plan
 - `pytest tests/unit/test_api_clients.py tests/unit/test_nightly_gate.py`
 - `make lint-all` (ruff, pyright, bandit, translations)
 ## Deploy Plan
 Merge via auto-merge; post-merge workflow publishes a new devx package to the
 Gitea PyPI registry and opens the infra dependency-bump PR automatically.
 ## Rollback Plan
 Revert the commit; infra's pinned devx version keeps the previous behavior
 until the dependency PR lands.
 ## Acceptance Criteria
 - [x] `get_repo_variable` returns the `data` field and falls back to `value`.
 - [x] Unknown nightly status exits non-zero and writes `nightly-gate-passed=false`.
 - [x] Unit tests cover `data`, `value` fallback and fail-closed unknown status.

 # DEVX-163: Fix _run_push to check stdout for HTTP 500
 ## Problem
 `_run_push` only checked `result.stderr` for HTTP 500, but docker push
 sends the "received unexpected HTTP status: 500 Internal Server Error"
 message to **stdout**, not stderr. This means the tenacity retry logic
 added in DEVX-162 never triggered — the push failed immediately without
 retrying.
 ## Approach
 Check both `result.stdout` and `result.stderr` for the "500" status code.
 Also update the "already exists" check in `push_image` to check both
 streams, since docker may send that message to stdout as well.

 # DEVX-163: Add vikunja-tasks skill and skill validation tests, fix create-task docs

 The OBL-INFRA-548 programme audit found devx lacks a Vikunja
 task-lifecycle skill and has no skill validation tests (infra and
 sso-bridge have them; grm gained them under GRM-171).
 `devx-workflow` documents `make create-task -- --title`, which fails

 # DEVX-164: Increase HTTP 500 retry count and backoff for docker push
 ## Problem
 The HTTP 500 retry logic (DEVX-162, DEVX-163) works correctly — 3 retry
 attempts are made. But all 3 attempts fail because the Gitea registry's
 "offset mismatch" race condition needs more than ~15s to recover. The
 current backoff is 5s-20s with 3 attempts (total ~15s of waiting).
 ## Approach
 Increase retry count from 3 to 5 and backoff from 5-20s to 10-60s,
 giving the registry up to ~2 minutes to recover. Add visible logging
 between retry attempts so the CI logs show the retry happening.

 # DEVX-164: auto-merge resilience — self-approval and Vikunja outage handling
 ## Problem
 Two defects hit auto-merge during S02 work:
 1. `get_vikunja_task_title` crashes on transient Vikunja errors. The
   Vikunja API returned 404/502 during a restart window (run 6093);
   `list_project_tasks` treats 4xx as non-retryable `APIError`, so the
   job failed immediately instead of riding out a short outage.
 2. When a PR author and the workflow's reviewer token map to the same
   Gitea user, the auto-approve step is rejected ("approve your own
   pull is not allowed") and the merge fails `405: not enough
   approvals`. The generic merge error gives no hint that an external
   approval is the fix (hit on sso-bridge #18, #19, and infra #1647's
   approvals-only failure mode).
 ## Approach
 REQ-1: Wrap the task-list pagination in `get_vikunja_task_title` with a
 bounded retry (tenacity, ~4 attempts, exponential backoff) covering
 `APIError` and `requests.RequestException`. A genuinely missing task
 still ends in the same "Could not find" ClickException.
 REQ-2: On merge `HTTP 405`, fetch PR reviews; when zero `APPROVED`
 reviews exist, extend the error with the self-approval explanation and
 the remediation (approve via a non-author account).
 REQ-3: Regression tests for both behaviors.
 ## Files Affected
 - `src/devx/ci/auto_merge.py`
 - `tests/unit/test_auto_merge.py`
 ## Test Plan
 - New tests: retry-then-success on transient APIError; retry-exhaustion
  still raises; missing task still raises; 405 error includes
  approvals diagnostic.
 - `make pytest-cov`, `make lint-all`.
 ## Deploy Plan
 - Merge → next release publishes the package; consuming repos pick it
  up on their next CI run (devx is pinned per-repo, bump via the usual
  dependency PR flow).
 ## Rollback Plan
 - Revert; previous behavior returns.

 # DEVX-166: create_dependency_pr must clone the target repo
 ## Problem
 `create_dependency_pr` resolves the pinned-version file and runs all
 git operations in the current working directory. Producer post-merge
 workflows (grm, sso-bridge) invoke it from the *producer* checkout, so
 it searches/modifies the wrong repository: `find_pinned_version` reads
 files that do not exist there, and the git fetch/checkout/commit/push
 sequence runs in the producer clone. The failure is silent — producer
 workflows append `|| echo warning`, so a no-op looks like success.
 ## Approach
 REQ-1: Clone the target repo (`--repo`) into a temporary directory with
 an authenticated `http.extraHeader`, then run every file lookup and git
 operation (fetch, checkout, add, commit, push) inside that clone. The
 push uses the same auth header config.
 REQ-2: Tests mock `subprocess.run` so no real clone happens in the unit
 suite (test-isolation gate).
 ## Files Affected
 - `src/devx/ci/create_dependency_pr.py`

 ## Test Plan
 - Existing CLI tests keep passing with the subprocess mock in place.
 - Verify the clone command targets the `--repo` URL and that git ops
  run with `cwd=<clone>` (asserted via the mock's call list).
 ## Deploy Plan
 Merge via auto-merge after green CI. The fix takes effect the next time
 a producer post-merge workflow invokes `create_dependency_pr`.

 # DEVX-167: Add dependency-graph, deployment-coordination, and skill-creation skills
 ## Problem
 Agents working across the oblachno ecosystem lack shared, persistent
 context for three recurring pain points:
 1. **Cross-repo dependency ordering** — agents frequently merge
   downstream PRs before the upstream publish job completes, or forget
   to bump infra. There is no single reference for which repo produces
   what and in what order changes must propagate.
 2. **devx release coordination** — devx is the base package pinned by
   grm, sso-bridge, and infra. Agents repeatedly merge devx PRs and
   immediately merge downstream bumps without waiting for the PyPI
   publish job, or bump only one consumer when a change affects all
   three.
 3. **Skill quality drift** — skills are created ad hoc with inconsistent
   structure, vague advice, and no automated validation reference. New
   skills miss required sections, reference nonexistent make targets,
   and drift across repos.
 ## Approach
 Add three SKILL.md files under `.devin/skills/`:
 REQ-1: `dependency-graph` — shared skill mapping the oblachno ecosystem
 (repos, what each produces, consumers, release triggers, correct
 cross-repo change order, state verification checklist)
 REQ-2: `deployment-coordination` — devx-specific skill covering the
 devx release flow, downstream consumers, manual bump procedure, and
 common mistakes when coordinating a devx change
 REQ-3: `skill-creation` — shared skill defining skill structure,
 quality standards, scope rules, automated validation reference, and a
 creation checklist
 ## Files Affected
 - `.devin/skills/dependency-graph/SKILL.md` (new)
 - `.devin/skills/deployment-coordination/SKILL.md` (new)
 - `.devin/skills/skill-creation/SKILL.md` (new)
 - `docs/specs/DEVX-167.md` (new)
 ## Test Plan
 - Verify all three SKILL.md files follow the required structure (H1
  title, When to Invoke, Prerequisites sections)
 - Verify referenced make targets and file paths exist
 - Run `make pytest-cov` — skill validation tests must pass
