Manifest.resolve walks $HOME/.claude-bottle/{bottles,agents}/ and
$CWD/.claude-bottle/agents/ instead of reading claude-bottle.json.
A bottles/ subdir under $CWD is logged as a warn and ignored —
the filesystem layout IS the trust boundary, no resolver check
needed.
If claude-bottle.json exists alongside no .claude-bottle/ dir at
either location, dies with a clear pointer at the README — the
manifest format changed and we don't silently fall back.
Manifest.from_md_dirs(home, cwd) is the programmatic entry point
tests use to build a Manifest from fixture directories without
touching os.environ. Manifest.from_json_obj is preserved for
tests that still want to build manifests in-memory.
Bottle / agent frontmatter goes through Bottle.from_dict /
Agent.from_dict — same validators as today's JSON path. Unknown
top-level frontmatter keys die with a "did you mean" pointer
listing accepted keys. Filenames that don't match [a-z][a-z0-9-]*
are skipped with a warn.
Agent files accept the Claude Code subagent passthrough fields
(name, description, model, color, memory) so the same file can
drop into ~/.claude/agents/ — claude-bottle ignores them at
launch but doesn't reject.
The dry-run integration test ships a real MD fixture tree now;
all 200 unit + 17 integration tests stay green.
