Adds `agents.defaults.skipOptionalBootstrapFiles` for optional workspace bootstrap files, validates the supported filenames, and propagates the option through workspace bootstrap callers.
Also preserves legacy setup detection when `USER.md` or `IDENTITY.md` are intentionally skipped, documents the config field, and includes focused regression coverage.
Landing follow-up included small CI unblockers for current-base drift: removing an unused Brave runtime dependency, fixing Telegram RTT lint, and preserving compatible gateway-bindable plugin registry cache reuse when runtime ensures disable bundled dependency installation.
Subagent and isolated cron sessions only loaded AGENTS.md and TOOLS.md,
causing subagents to lose their role personality, identity, and user
preferences. Expand MINIMAL_BOOTSTRAP_ALLOWLIST to include the three
missing identity files.
Closes#24852
(cherry picked from commit c33377150e)
* fix(paths): structurally resolve home dir to prevent Windows path bugs
Extract resolveRawHomeDir as a private function and gate the public
resolveEffectiveHomeDir through a single path.resolve() exit point.
This makes it structurally impossible for unresolved paths (missing
drive letter on Windows) to escape the function, regardless of how
many return paths exist in the raw lookup logic.
Simplify resolveRequiredHomeDir to only resolve the process.cwd()
fallback, since resolveEffectiveHomeDir now returns resolved values.
Fix shortenMeta in tool-meta.ts: the colon-based split for file:line
patterns (e.g. file.txt:12) conflicts with Windows drive letters
(C:\...) because indexOf(":") matches the drive colon first.
shortenHomeInString already handles file:line patterns correctly via
split/join, so the colon split was both unnecessary and harmful.
Update test assertions across all affected files to use path.resolve()
in expected values and input strings so they match the now-correct
resolved output on both Unix and Windows.
Fixes#12119
* fix(changelog): add paths Windows fix entry (#12125)
