docs(update): WebFetch summarization gotcha + inline pointers (v2.4.13)#179
Merged
Conversation
…or raw fetches (v2.4.13) Adds a Known Gotcha to skills/update/SKILL.md explaining that WebFetch may post-process (paraphrase/truncate) content even with raw.githubusercontent.com URLs and explicit "return verbatim" prompts. Recommends `curl -fsSL` via the Bash tool for the four raw-content paths in /update: plugin.json + settings.json JSON parsing, PLUGIN-CHANGELOG.md verbatim display, and SKILL.md self-update bootstrap. Also adds inline⚠️ pointers at each of the four WebFetch call sites in the step prose so a reader following the steps top-to-bottom hits the gotcha at the relevant moment, not only at the end of the document. Closes the coherence gap that 3-round review flagged: warning lives at the bottom but step prose says "use WebFetch". No behavior change — this is a documentation-only PR; the actual WebFetch calls remain in place and are correctly out of scope for a patch bump. A follow-up v2.5.0 PR can swap the JSON-parse sites to curl with PowerShell Invoke-WebRequest fallback when ready.
