pkgmgr worktree flow (pkgmgr 7fb2296, live after its release) records per worktree the refs merged in before a gate (pull) and the branches the finished branch merges into (push). The skills now act on it:
- hotfix.py sync merges, after origin/<default> and the register's base chain, every entry of the flow's pull list that is not merged already; an invalid flow file stops sync with exit 2 before any merge. pkgmgr starts only when <git-dir>/pkgmgr/flow.yml exists, so a sync without a flow, and the tests, never run the system pkgmgr wrapper.
- kvb-org-split merges a finished sidetree into each push target of the flow in order, its upstream when none is set.
- kvb-git-commit-next names the push targets the branch flows into when it closes.
Word budgets kept (kvb-git-hotfix and kvb-org-split trimmed back under 600), skill text 2807 -> 2809 tokens. Tests: 38 hotfix tests OK, 3 new (pull list merged after the chain, invalid flow refused before any merge, no pkgmgr start without a flow file).

(cherry picked from commit 1e1fd0e79821ad9a8d4fea99b38ac59ecb02d7b2)
The Maintainer messaged every agent about every hotfix, waking each for a full turn. Hotfixes are now register rows hotfix/<slug> (repository identity by git common dir and normalized origin URL, branch, sha, PR, failing-line signature, targets, stage), written with hotfix.py add/update and queried only when an agent acts, never by cron: pending lists merged hotfixes missing from HEAD (filtered by targets) and open ones; match finds hotfixes whose signature fits a failing line, evaluated in one worker under a shared deadline; void tells gate.py run, before every target, when a merged hotfix missing from HEAD makes the rest of the run worthless (exit 3), the operator's one exception to never cutting a job short; sync fetches first, then under the worktree locks merges origin/<default> and every base up the funnel chain recorded with rasci.py set --base, refusing a detached or foreign branch, a diverged base or a busy worktree, aborting cleanly on a conflict.
gate.py gains hold, which runs any heavy command, deploys included, under the worktree lock, forwards signals, returns the command's code and exits 75 when busy; run holds the same lock and takes the sync lock shared. kvb-check-gate, kvb-ci-triage, kvb-org-organize (Peer protocol, capacity), kvb-org-coordinate and kvb-org-split follow; rasci gaps, wsjf and artifacts skip hotfix and operator rows. Three independent skeptic rounds found 34 defects (three of them high), all fixed with tests; negative controls fail against the earlier code.
