- xce-build.sh: `controller` component now always builds `controller/xce_test`
alongside `xce_controller`, in every profile — xce-test-ha needs both
binaries and previously had to build xce_test as a separate step.
- xce-build/SKILL.md: removed `context: fork` — reproducibly broken for this
skill (confirmed twice): whenever ARGUMENTS is non-empty, the forked
subagent never receives a usable task and silently does nothing. Documented
that this skill should instead always be dispatched via the plain Agent
tool with a fully-resolved, self-contained prompt (not `context: fork`,
which failed) — proven to work end-to-end.
- xce-test-ha/SKILL.md, xce-deploy-ha/SKILL.md: replaced the blanket "never
invoke via subagent" warning with the precise finding — `context: fork`
(Skill-tool isolation) is the confirmed-broken mechanism (its own teardown
SIGHUPs the whole controller process group mid-soak/mid-deploy), but
Agent-tool subagent dispatch is a different mechanism and is safe
(empirically verified: a `setsid nohup ... & disown` process launched from
inside an Agent subagent survives that subagent returning, reparented to
init). Documented both the foreground-blocking and fire-and-forget
subagent patterns for each skill; xce-deploy-ha additionally flagged that
its `start.sh &` should gain `setsid` to match the soak driver's stronger
detach pattern before relying on unattended subagent dispatch.
