SEA-4.2 — /skill mute and /skill unmute
Summary
Implemented skill mute/unmute controls for the SEA ecosystem. Users can now silence individual skills from autonomous activation via Tier 1 routing and Tier 2 scoring while preserving all skill state. Mute events are logged to activation-log.jsonl for audit trail.
Changes
- File: `[home-path]` — Created. Core controller with `mute`, `unmute`, `status`, `list-muted` subcommands. Manages `muted` boolean in state.json, tracks `muted_at` timestamp and `muted_reason`, increments `suppressed_count`, and logs mute/unmute events to activation-log.jsonl. Exposes `is_muted()` function for import by router/scorer.
- File: `[home-path]` — Modified. Imports `is_muted` from skill_controller and filters muted skills from candidate list in `route_message()`.
- File: `[home-path]` — Modified. Imports `is_muted` from skill_controller and short-circuits `score_skill()` to return `{score: 0.0, reason: "skill is muted", inject: false}` without making any API call when skill is muted.
State Schema Addition
Added to each skill's `state.json` when muted:
{
"muted": true,
"muted_at": "2026-02-18T04:10:30.497928+00:00",
"muted_reason": "optional user reason"
}Fields are removed on unmute (clean state).
RTD Verification
- [x] Structure: skill_controller.py created in correct location alongside tier1/tier2
- [x] Compilation: All 3 files import clean (`python3 -c "import ..."` passes)
- [x] Integration: is_muted() imported by both router and scorer, no circular deps
- [x] Content: mute → score returns 0 (verified), unmute restores, idempotent ops, invalid skill rejected
- [x] User Journey: `mute art:snark` → `list-muted` shows it → scorer returns 0 → `unmute art:snark` → restored
- [x] Deployment: committed with conventional commit
