Two follow-up review findings:
- signals-dashboard: the async createServer callback had no top-level
error boundary, so a malformed %-encoded path, a stash write on a
read-only workshop, or a scan failure rejected a promise the server
never awaits — hanging the request and risking an unhandled-rejection
crash. Wrap the handler and return a controlled 500.
- workshop-create: Path A treated finding a marker (desks/, CAIRN.md,
etc.) as 'just use it', an early stop that left partially initialized
workshops incomplete. Make it detection-only and continue scaffolding
whatever is missing, per the 'only add what's missing' principle.

Address the remaining doc/skill review findings:
- workshop-create: 'gh repo create --clone' clones into the CWD, which
nests the new repo when run from inside a checkout. Add an explicit
clone-parent selection + 'rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree' guard, and
run the create from that parent.
- workshop-create: desks/ and bench/ were scaffolded empty, so Git drops
them and a later clone loses the scaffold. Scaffold .gitkeep in each
and commit the placeholders.
- bench-read: make <workshop>/bench/ the primary shared location (the
directory workshop-create actually establishes) with desk-local
artifacts as a secondary source, instead of treating the repo root as
the bench.
- the-workshop README: add the Workshop Create skill to the component
table so all six packaged components are documented.

Second review round on the Cairn canvas extension:
- XSS via numeric fields: self-assessment scores, quality rating, and
token counts are read from unvalidated agent JSON and interpolated
into HTML/style/title. Coerce them at the source in scanSignals via
toScore (clamped 0..5) and toCount (finite nonnegative int), and
esc() the effort label, so a nonnumeric value can neither inject
markup nor break layout/width.
- CSRF: /api/stash, /api/restore, /api/open are state-changing loopback
POSTs that previously accepted any origin, so a web page that guessed
the port could mutate .desk-stash.json. Add isCrossSiteRequest() and
reject cross-site POST /api/* (Origin / Sec-Fetch-Site check), mirroring
the loopback protection in connector-namespaces/server.mjs.
- Accessibility: the 5s auto-refresh replaced the whole #content subtree,
dropping keyboard focus. Skip the swap when markup is unchanged and
restore focus to the same desk/action button when it does change.

Address PR review findings on the Cairn canvas extension:
- XSS: replace inline onclick handlers (which used HTML-escape that
does not escape single quotes) with event delegation via
data-act/data-desk attributes and one document click listener that
survives the innerHTML auto-refresh.
- Path traversal: add isValidDeskName() and enforce it in every HTTP
and canvas-action handler that takes a desk name (reject empty, /,
\\, null byte, '.' and '..').
- Crash safety: String()-coerce in esc()/truncate() and guard
outcomeIssues with Array.isArray so a malformed signal cannot take
down the whole dashboard render.
- Honest UI: the per-desk button no longer claims to 'open' a desk;
it is relabeled 'path' and copies the desk's filesystem path to the
clipboard with an accurate toast built via textContent (not innerHTML).
- Correctness: outcome signals only pair with a signal when emitted at
or after it (within 1hr), and activeCount is computed by excluding
stashed desks instead of subtracting counts (no longer goes negative).

The signals-dashboard extension was missing its required screenshot asset, so it failed awesome-copilot's validateExtensionManifest (logo must equal "assets/preview.png" and the file must exist) and never materialized -- meaning the Cairn canvas would not ship to the GHCP app. Adds the 1024x1024 preview.png and the convention logo field. Validated locally: node eng/validate-plugins.mjs -> extension signals-dashboard is valid; all 70 plugins + 19 extensions pass.

view showing desk status, signal types, intent text, outcome
pairing with honesty gap, token usage, and stash/restore controls.
Includes all updates from the-workshop PRs #3-#7:
- Empty state guidance for new users
- Token usage display per desk
- TA partnership signals + Cairn awareness
- Intent-as-text (execution signals use descriptive text)
- Outcome signal pairing with honesty gap calibration
- Open desk button
- Subtype labels (done/checkpoint/blocked/hands-up)

The awesome-copilot validator (eng/validate-plugins.mjs:107-148)
strips .md from the plugin.json path and appends .agent.md to
find the source file. The rename to workshop-ta.md broke this
convention. Reverting to workshop-ta.agent.md so validation,
materialization, and README generation all work correctly.

The Workshop puts long-running AI agents (desks) in the same room,
on the same work, each with its own memory and history, sharing one
workspace so you direct the work instead of relaying it.
Components:
- Workshop TA agent (room coordinator)
- Skills: desk-open, desk-journal, signal-write, bench-read
- Marketplace entry for one-command install
Install: copilot plugin install the-workshop@awesome-copilot
Complements Ember (partnership for one agent) with coordination
for many agents. Install both for the full stack.

* feat: add convert-excel-to-md, convert-pdf-to-md, and convert-word-to-md skills
Add three new agent skills that convert common document formats to Markdown
using bundled Python scripts powered by MarkItDown:
- convert-excel-to-md: Converts .xlsx workbooks to Markdown with per-sheet
tables and embedded image extraction via a bundled Python script.
- convert-pdf-to-md: Converts .pdf documents to Markdown with text/table
extraction and embedded image extraction via PyMuPDF.
- convert-word-to-md: Converts .docx documents to Markdown with proper
image extraction replacing MarkItDown's base64 placeholders.
Each skill includes:
- SKILL.md with detailed usage instructions, output structure docs, and
a troubleshooting table
- scripts/ with the conversion Python script and requirements.txt
- references/setup.md with environment setup instructions

Adds a skill that generates valid Microsoft Threat Modeling Tool (.tm7)
files using the correct WCF DataContractSerializer format, with a minimal
reference file. Includes STRIDE threat generation workflow and a checklist
of common serialization mistakes that corrupt .tm7 files.

* Address PR review: sanitize reference model, fix dangling refs, move to assets
- Move example-minimal.tm7 into assets/ per repo convention (aaronpowell).
- Remove personal/corporate metadata from the reference model (Owner,
Contributors, ChangedBy domain account, project names).
- Make the reference model self-contained: add a second stencil so the data
flow and threat SourceGuid/TargetGuid/FlowGuid all resolve to real elements.
- Fix SKILL.md threat contract (KeyValueOfstringThreatpc_P0_PhOB with
b:-prefixed KnowledgeBase fields) to match the bundled reference.
- Reconcile guidance: MetaInformation/Notes/KnowledgeBase are valid schema
elements and must be preserved; only SecurityGaps/Mitigations are invalid.
- Regenerate docs/README.skills.md and normalize line endings to LF.

* Address 2nd review: correct KnowledgeBase placement, valid TypeIds, z:Id uniqueness
- Document KnowledgeBase as a top-level sibling after ThreatMetaData (not embedded)
- Update skeleton to show <ThreatMetaData/>, sibling <KnowledgeBase>, and <Profile>
- Replace TypeIds absent from the bundled KB: AzureCosmosDB -> AzureSQLDB,
HumanUser -> Mobile, GenericDataFlow -> Request
- Require z:Id uniqueness across the file in the common-mistakes checklist

font.getbbox() returns (left, top, right, bottom), so text line height must
be bottom - top (bbox[3] - bbox[1]). The label placement code used
bbox[3] - bbox[0] (bottom - left), mixing an x-coordinate into a height and
producing a slightly wrong label-box height (empirically off by 0-4px
depending on font). The debug heatmap labeling in the same module already
uses the correct bbox[3] - bbox[1], so this brings placement in line.
Port the app workspace and runtime session inventory fixes from the personal James Hub canvas into the generic Work Hub extension. This lets the cleanup and recent-session surfaces read current app workspaces before falling back to the legacy session store.
