 - Document NVIDIA SkillEvaluator as `FOREIGN_ON_DEMAND`: never installed, absent is not a doctor failure, and a malformed MCP entry still fails closed.
 - Execute the stocktake protocol across all 62 catalog items and record it in `docs/stocktake-1.8.3.md`: one verdict per item, 56 `KEEP`, 2 `COMPRESS`, 4 `UPDATE`, 0 `MERGE`, 0 `RETIRE`. `MERGE` is zero on measured evidence, the highest description overlap being 0.359 Jaccard, below the 50% warn line. No item is retired without a no-skill baseline; five candidates are recorded as blocked on the A/B gate.
 - Stocktake documentation (`docs/stocktake-1.8.3.md`) now includes `img2threejs` (63 rows, KEEP).
+- Neutralize legacy host-name references in tool-family and scratch paths across `skills/visual-studio` and `skills/scroll-world`: replace `GrokBuild` mentions with native image/video tools (`image_gen`, `image_edit`, `image_to_video`, `reference_to_video`) while keeping the `DEGRADED` fallback gate intact, and migrate project scratch paths from `.grok/` to `.scratch/`.
 - `README.md`: document optional `stitch` MCP alongside `serena` and `exa`. Enabled only by `opencode-bf stitch enable`, keys referenced as `{env:STITCH_API_KEY}` or omitted with `--oauth`, not an owned core server and not a production UI implementer, absent is not a doctor failure.
 - Retire the predecessor `GrokBuild` host-product name from four skill bodies (`ask-matt` description, `chrome-devtools-axi` heading, `adhd`, `visual-studio`). `ask-matt` matters most: its description loads on every session. Tool-family references that name an image/video contract rather than the host are left intact.
 - `chrome-devtools-axi`: drop a `$HOME/.grok/bin` fallback that contradicted `rules/00-routing.md` ("Do not depend on `~/.grok` at runtime") and reconcile two duplicated invocation blocks. Port `9223`, the `HEADED`/`AUTO_CONNECT` prohibition, and the never-fall-back-to-Google-Chrome fence are unchanged.

+2. ~~Decide whether the `GrokBuild image_gen` tool-family name should be renamed catalog-wide, or documented as the intended tool contract.~~ Resolved: neutralized host names across `visual-studio` and `scroll-world` to native image/video tools (`image_gen`, `image_edit`, `image_to_video`, `reference_to_video`) while retaining the DEGRADED fallback gate, with scratch paths aligned to `.scratch/`.
 3. ~~`impeccable` frontmatter declares `Apache 2.0` while `vendor/license-audit.json` records `Apache-2.0`.~~ Resolved: frontmatter now reads `Apache-2.0`, and the audit evidence string dropped the parenthetical that only existed to flag the mismatch.
 4. 28 of 62 skills omit a frontmatter `license` key by design. If that ever becomes confusing, document it in the skill authoring guide rather than adding keys.
 5. `img2threejs` added post-#21; not part of the original 1.8.3 execution pass.
