 ## Wire schema v1
 
-All `--json` output carries a `schema_version` field (`ingest_report.v1`, `search_hit.v1`, `answer.v1`, `doctor.v1`, …). Schemas live in `docs/wire-schema/v1/`. The wire shape is the contract for external integrations (Claude Code skills, MCP, etc.); breaking it requires a `*.v2` major bump and parallel-running both for one phase.
+All `--json` output carries a `schema_version` field. Current schemas: `ingest_report.v1`, `ingest_progress.v1`, `search_hit.v1`, `answer.v1`, `doctor.v1`, `reset_report.v1`, `schema.v1`, `error.v1`, `chunk_inspection.v1`, `citation.v1`, `doc_summary.v1`. Schemas live in `docs/wire-schema/v1/`. The wire shape is the contract for external integrations (Claude Code skills, MCP, etc.); breaking it requires a `*.v2` major bump and parallel-running both for one phase. In `--json` mode, fatal errors emit `error.v1` to stderr as ndjson (non-`--json` mode keeps plain stderr text); exit codes 0/1/2/3 are unchanged — `error.v1.code` provides fine-grained agent branching.
+
+In-tree integration packages live under `integrations/<host>/` — currently `integrations/claude-code/kebab/` (a Claude Code skill that calls `kebab search --json` / `kebab ask --json`). Any wire schema major bump (v1→v2) MUST update each shipped integration in the same PR, same as the version-cascade rule below. Per-user trigger keywords (team / system / acronym) belong in the user's local copy of the skill, not in the repo-shipped frontmatter — keep `integrations/claude-code/kebab/SKILL.md`'s `description` generic.
 
 ## Versioning cascade
 
 `parser_version` / `chunker_version` / `embedding_version` / `prompt_template_version` / `index_version` follow the cascade rule in design §9. Changing any of these invalidates downstream records (chunks, embeddings, eval runs, …). When changing a version: either ship a re-process job or treat it as a breaking schema bump. The eval runner snapshots all five into `eval_runs.config_snapshot_json`.
 
+## Release / binary version bump
+
+Workspace `Cargo.toml` 의 `version` 은 binary release 의 정체성. 다음 트리거 중 하나 발생 시 **bump + 새 release 컷**:
+
+- 사용자가 새 바이너리로 **도그푸딩** 또는 **실사용** 을 할 필요가 있다고 명시.
+- breaking schema change (V00X migration / wire schema major bump v1→v2 등) 가 머지된 후 — 이전 릴리즈 binary 가 새 DB / 새 wire 와 호환 안 됨. wire 의 additive minor 변경 (예: `IngestReport.unchanged` 같은 필드 추가) 은 backward-compat 이라 본 트리거에 해당 안 됨.
+- frozen design contract 변경 (design §X 갱신) 이 머지된 후.
+
+Bump 자체는 단순 minor / patch 한 줄 수정 (`Cargo.toml` workspace `version`) — 이미 모든 kebab-* crate 가 `version = { workspace = true }` 라 자동 cascade. 동시에 `Cargo.lock` 자동 갱신.
+
+Release 절차:
+
+1. `gitea-release v<X.Y.Z>` (gitea-ops skill) 으로 tag + push + release notes.
+2. release notes 는 사용자 도그푸딩에 영향 가는 surface 변경 위주 — wire schema 추가, CLI flag 신규, TUI 키 변경, V00X migration 등.
+3. 프리-1.0 (`0.x.y`) 단계: minor bump 시 wire schema additive / surface 변경 누적, patch bump 시 bug fix only.
+
+**bump 시점 = release 시점 같은 commit**. 즉 commit `chore: bump version 0.x → 0.y` 직후 같은 commit 에 tag. v0.1.0 (`2319206`) 처럼 bump 없이 tag 만 찍는 패턴은 후속 release 가 대상 commit 을 헷갈리게 함 — pre-release snapshot 은 SHA reference 로 충분.

 The migration from the old `kb` name lives in commits `911fb49 / f1a448d / f9714aa`. If you spot a leftover `kb` reference, treat it as a leftover and fix it (the rename PR sweep covered crates/, docs/, tasks/, README, design doc, fixtures — but workspace root `Cargo.toml` comments needed a follow-up; assume similar misses are possible).

+# MCP usage — agent integration guide
+
+`kebab mcp` runs an MCP (Model Context Protocol) stdio JSON-RPC server. agent host (Claude Code / Cursor / OpenAI Agents / Copilot CLI 등) 가 본 binary 를 spawn 하여 KB 검색 / 답변 / ingest 를 호출.
+
+shipped since **v0.3.1** (fb-30). 6 tool 으로 확장 (v0.3.2, fb-31).
+
+---
+
+## Quick start
+
+binary 를 PATH 에 두고 (`cargo install --path crates/kebab-cli` 또는 release tarball), agent host 의 mcp config 에 등록:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "kebab": {
+      "command": "kebab",
+      "args": ["mcp"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+session 시작 시 host 가 `kebab mcp` 를 spawn — process 가 session 동안 살아 있어 SQLite / Lance / fastembed 가 hot. 첫 tool call 만 cold-start 비용, 이후 sub-100ms.
+
+`--config` 옵션 thread:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "kebab": {
+      "command": "kebab",
+      "args": ["--config", "/Users/me/.config/kebab/agent.toml", "mcp"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Host config 예시
+
+### Claude Code
+
+`~/.claude/mcp.json` (또는 OS 별 동등 위치):
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "kebab": {
+      "command": "kebab",
+      "args": ["mcp"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+session 재시작 후 `kebab` server 가 tool list 에 등장. agent 가 `mcp__kebab__search` / `mcp__kebab__ask` 등 호출 가능.
+
+### Cursor
+
+`~/.cursor/mcp.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "kebab": {
+      "command": "kebab",
+      "args": ["mcp"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Cursor 의 Composer / Agent 모드에서 활성화.
+
+### OpenAI Agents (`agents-sdk`)
+
+Python:
+
+```python
+from openai_agents import Agent, MCPServerStdio
+
+kebab = MCPServerStdio(
+    name="kebab",
+    params={"command": "kebab", "args": ["mcp"]},
+)
+
+agent = Agent(
+    name="researcher",
+    mcp_servers=[kebab],
+)
+```
+
+Node:
+
+```ts
+import { Agent, MCPServerStdio } from "openai-agents";
+
+const kebab = new MCPServerStdio({
+  name: "kebab",
+  params: { command: "kebab", args: ["mcp"] },
+});
+
+const agent = new Agent({ name: "researcher", mcpServers: [kebab] });
+```
+
+### Copilot CLI
+
+`~/.config/copilot-cli/mcp.json` (or wherever the CLI looks):
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "kebab": {
+      "command": "kebab",
+      "args": ["mcp"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 기타 host
+
+stdio JSON-RPC MCP 표준을 따르는 모든 host 가 지원. 위 형식 (`command` + `args`) 만 맞추면 동작.
+
+---
+
+## Tool catalog (6 tools)
+
+모든 tool 의 출력은 wire schema v1 JSON 을 MCP `text` content block 으로 직렬화. CLI `--json` 모드와 byte-동일 (single source of truth).
+
+### `search` — corpus 검색
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| Input | `{ "query": string, "mode"?: "lexical"\|"vector"\|"hybrid", "k"?: 1-100 }` |
+| Defaults | `mode = "hybrid"`, `k = 10` |
+| Output | `search_hit.v1` array, ranked |
+
+예시:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "search",
+  "arguments": {
+    "query": "Kubernetes ingress controller setup",
+    "mode": "hybrid",
+    "k": 5
+  }
+}
+```
+
+응답 (한 hit 발췌):
+
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "schema_version": "search_hit.v1",
+    "rank": 1,
+    "score": 0.847,
+    "doc_id": "...",
+    "chunk_id": "...",
+    "doc_path": "k8s/ingress.md",
+    "heading_path": ["Setup", "Ingress controller"],
+    "snippet": "...",
+    "citation": { ... }
+  },
+  ...
+]
+```
+
+**언제 사용**: 사용자가 \"문서 어디 있는지\" 묻거나, agent 가 답변 전 raw chunk 가 필요할 때.
+
+### `ask` — RAG 답변
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| Input | `{ "query": string, "session_id"?: string, "mode"?: "lexical"\|"vector"\|"hybrid" }` |
+| Defaults | `mode = "hybrid"` |
+| Output | `answer.v1` (single object) |
+
+예시:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "ask",
+  "arguments": {
+    "query": "What's our internal Kubernetes ingress setup?",
+    "session_id": "ops-onboarding-2026-05"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+응답:
+
+```json
+{
+  "schema_version": "answer.v1",
+  "answer": "...",
+  "citations": [ ... ],
+  "grounded": true,
+  "refusal_reason": null,
+  "model": { ... },
+  "conversation_id": "...",
+  "turn_index": 0
+}
+```
+
+**`grounded: false` 처리**: KB 에 충분한 context 없음. `refusal_reason` 확인 후 사용자에게 \"KB 에 정보 없음\" 으로 안내, 본인 지식 fallback 또는 source 요청. **paraphrase 하면 안 됨** (hallucination 위험).
+
+multi-turn 은 [Session 관리](#session-관리-multi-turn-ask) 참조.
+
+### `schema` — capability discovery
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| Input | `{}` (no args) |
+| Output | `schema.v1` |
+
+예시:
+
+```json
+{ "name": "schema", "arguments": {} }
+```
+
+응답:
+
+```json
+{
+  "schema_version": "schema.v1",
+  "kebab_version": "0.3.2",
+  "wire": { "schemas": ["answer.v1", "search_hit.v1", ...] },
+  "capabilities": {
+    "json_mode": true,
+    "rag_multi_turn": true,
+    "mcp_server": true,
+    "streaming_ask": false,
+    ...
+  },
+  "models": { "parser_version": "...", "embedding_version": "...", ... },
+  "stats": { "doc_count": 128, "chunk_count": 2147, "asset_count": 130, ... }
+}
+```
+
+**언제 사용**: session 시작 시 한 번 — feature gate 결정 (`capabilities.streaming_ask` true 면 streaming 사용 등). cheap call (no LLM, no embedder), session 동안 1 회 충분.
+
+### `doctor` — health check
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| Input | `{}` (no args) |
+| Output | `doctor.v1` |
+
+예시:
+
+```json
+{ "name": "doctor", "arguments": {} }
+```
+
+응답:
+
+```json
+{
+  "schema_version": "doctor.v1",
+  "ok": true,
+  "checks": [
+    { "name": "config_loaded", "ok": true, "detail": "..." },
+    { "name": "ollama_reachable", "ok": true, "detail": "..." },
+    ...
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**언제 사용**: 다른 tool 이 실패하거나 비정상 응답 줄 때 first triage. `ok: false` 면 `checks[]` 의 failed entry 가 원인 — 사용자에게 보고 후 stop (자동 retry 금지).
+
+### `ingest_file` — 단일 파일 저장 (mutation)
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| Input | `{ "path": string }` |
+| Supported ext | `.md` / `.pdf` / `.png` / `.jpg` / `.jpeg` (`unsupported extension` error 그 외) |
+| Output | `ingest_report.v1` (single asset) |
+
+예시:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "ingest_file",
+  "arguments": { "path": "/Users/me/Downloads/article.md" }
+}
+```
+
+응답:
+
+```json
+{
+  "schema_version": "ingest_report.v1",
+  "scanned": 1,
+  "new": 1,
+  "updated": 0,
+  "unchanged": 0,
+  "skipped": 0,
+  "errors": 0,
+  ...
+}
+```
+
+**언제 사용**: 사용자가 disk 의 file 을 KB 에 저장 의향 명시 시. workspace 외부 path OK — 파일은 `<workspace.root>/_external/<hash12>.<ext>` 으로 copy. 동일 content 재 ingest 면 idempotent (`unchanged: 1`).
+
+**주의**: mutation tool — 사용자 명시 의도 없을 때 자동 호출 금지.
+
+### `ingest_stdin` — stdin markdown 저장 (mutation)
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| Input | `{ "content": string, "title": string, "source_uri"?: string }` |
+| v1 scope | markdown only |
+| Output | `ingest_report.v1` (single asset) |
+
+예시:
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "ingest_stdin",
+  "arguments": {
+    "content": "## Article body\n\nMain text here.",
+    "title": "Article X",
+    "source_uri": "https://example.com/x"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+응답:
+
+```json
+{
+  "schema_version": "ingest_report.v1",
+  "scanned": 1,
+  "new": 1,
+  ...
+}
+```
+
+**언제 사용**: agent 가 web fetch 한 markdown article 을 KB 에 저장. 사용자가 \"이거 나중에 또 보고 싶어\" 명시 시 또는 multi-turn 대화에서 자료 누적. content 가 이미 frontmatter (`---` 시작) 이면 error — `ingest_file` 사용.
+
+`title` + `source_uri` 가 frontmatter 로 자동 prepend → `Document.metadata` 에 저장 → 후속 `search` 결과의 `doc_meta` 에 포함. agent 가 source URL 추적 가능.
+
+**주의**: mutation tool. 같은 content 무한 ingest 안 함 (idempotent 보장이지만 embedding cost 낭비).
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### `isError: true` + `error.v1` content
+
+tool dispatch 가 `Err` 반환 시. content 의 `error.v1` JSON 의 `code` 로 분기:
+
+| code | 의미 | 조치 |
+|------|------|------|
+| `config_invalid` | `--config` path missing / TOML parse 실패 | path 확인 + `kebab schema` 로 검증. `details.path` + `details.cause` 확인. |
+| `not_indexed` | `kebab.sqlite` 미존재 / migration 미실행 | 사용자에게 `kebab init` + `kebab ingest` 실행 안내. retry 자동 금지. |
+| `model_unreachable` | Ollama endpoint 연결 실패 | Ollama 실행 확인 (`ollama serve`). `details.endpoint` 의 host 가 reachable 한지. retry 1-2 회 후 사용자 보고. |
+| `model_not_pulled` | Ollama model not found | 사용자에게 `ollama pull <model>` 안내 — `details.model` 표시. |
+| `timeout` | LLM stream / embed deadline 초과 | 일시적이면 retry 1 회. 재발 시 사용자 보고 (model 응답 느림 / Ollama load). |
+| `io_error` | filesystem / 권한 / disk full | `details.kind` 보고 사용자에게 disk space / permission 확인 안내. |
+| `generic` | catch-all | `details.chain` (verbose 시) 보고 사용자에게 그대로 전달. retry 금지. |
+
+`hint` field 가 있으면 사용자에게 그대로 보여주기 (각 code 의 가장 빠른 조치).
+
+### `grounded: false` (ask refusal)
+
+`isError: false` (정상 응답). KB 에 충분한 context 없음. `refusal_reason` 확인 후:
+
+- `NoChunks` — 검색 자체가 0 hit. 다른 표현 / 더 일반적인 query 시도.
+- `LowScores` — hit 있지만 score gate 미달. `kebab search` (별도) 로 raw hit 확인.
+- 그 외 — refusal 메시지 그대로 사용자에게 보고.
+
+자동 paraphrase 금지. 사용자에게 \"KB 에 정보 없음\" 명시 후 본인 지식 또는 source 요청.
+
+### `doctor` `ok: false`
+
+다른 tool 호출 전 `doctor` 부터. `checks[]` 의 failed entry 원인 명시 — 사용자에게 보고 후 stop.
+
+### empty `search` result
+
+`isError: false`, content = `[]` (빈 array). KB 에 매칭 없음. `mode` 변경 (lexical → vector or vice versa) 또는 query 표현 다양화. 그래도 빈 결과면 KB coverage 부족 — 사용자에게 보고.
+
+### tool not found
+
+`tools/list` 에서 본 binary 의 6 tool 확인. 0.3.1 (fb-30) 은 4 tool, 0.3.2 (fb-31) 부터 6. binary version 확인:
+
+```json
+{ "name": "schema", "arguments": {} }
+```
+
+응답의 `kebab_version` 이 0.3.2+ 인지 확인.
+
+---
+
+## Session 관리 (multi-turn ask)
+
+`ask` tool 의 `session_id` 가 multi-turn RAG context 활성화. 같은 `session_id` 로 연속 호출 시 이전 Q/A history 가 새 query 의 retrieval expansion + prompt context 에 포함.
+
+### session_id 명명
+
+`<topic>-<date>` 형식 권장 — 사용자 친화 + uniqueness:
+
+- `ops-onboarding-2026-05`
+- `kubernetes-ingress-debug-2026-05-07`
+- `agent-research-session-1` (auto-numbered)
+
+session_id 는 임의 string — kebab 이 처음 보는 id 면 새 session 생성, 기존 id 면 history append.
+
+### 언제 새 session 시작?
+
+- 주제 완전 전환 (KB 의 다른 도메인) — 이전 history 가 noise.
+- 사용자 명시 reset 요청.
+- Long session (50+ turn) 의 context bloat — 새 session 으로 fresh start.
+
+### Session lifetime
+
+session 데이터는 SQLite `chat_sessions` + `chat_turns` 에 영속. `kebab reset --data-only` 가 모두 wipe. session 별 삭제 명령은 없음 (P+).
+
+### 예시 multi-turn flow
+
+```json
+// turn 1
+{ "name": "ask", "arguments": {
+  "query": "What's our internal Kubernetes ingress setup?",
+  "session_id": "ops-2026-05"
+}}
+// → answer.v1 with conversation_id, turn_index: 0
+
+// turn 2 — 이전 답변을 context 로 retrieval expansion
+{ "name": "ask", "arguments": {
+  "query": "What about TLS?",
+  "session_id": "ops-2026-05"
+}}
+// → kebab 가 "TLS" 만으로 retrieval 안 함, 이전 \"Kubernetes ingress\" history 포함 query 로 검색
+
+// turn 3 — 명시적 reference
+{ "name": "ask", "arguments": {
+  "query": "How does that compare to AWS ALB?",
+  "session_id": "ops-2026-05"
+}}
+```
+
+### Session vs single-shot
+
+`session_id` 없이 `ask` 호출 = single-shot. agent host 자체가 conversation 추적하면 single-shot + agent-side context 도 OK. session 이 필요한 경우:
+
+- KB 가 \"이전 질문\" 을 retrieval expansion 에 사용해야 정확 (e.g. follow-up 의 대명사).
+- 한 session 안에서 같은 chunk 반복 fetch 회피 (kebab 가 turn 간 chunk overlap 인지).
+
+agent host 가 conversation 추적 + 충분한 context 보유면 session 불필요.
+
+---
+
+## Performance
+
+- **첫 tool call**: cold start ~1-2s (SQLite open + Lance dataset open + fastembed model load).
+- **이후 tool call (same session)**: hot — search ~50-200ms, ask ~수 초 (Ollama LLM dominant).
+- **session 종료** (host 가 process kill): 모든 cache lost. 다음 session 첫 call 다시 cold.
+- **`schema` / `doctor`**: cheap (no LLM / no embedder), 매 call ~ms.
+- **`ingest_file` / `ingest_stdin`**: 첫 call 시 fastembed cold start. 이후 file 당 ~수 백 ms (parse + chunk + embed).
+
+cold-start 회피하려면 host 가 long-running session 유지 (Claude Code default).
+
+---
+
+## Security
+
+- stdio MCP — 외부 네트워크 노출 없음. agent host 만 access.
+- `kebab mcp` 가 호출하는 facade 는 `--config` 의 권한으로 동작. config 내 secret (Ollama API key 등) 은 process 환경에 한정.
+- mutation tool (`ingest_file` / `ingest_stdin`) 는 사용자 명시 의도 없이 자동 호출 금지 — agent 측 가드.

+# p9-fb-25 — Config `workspace.include` 제거 + 지원 형식 가시성 Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Remove the dead `WorkspaceCfg.include` config field, surface skip reasons (unsupported media type) per file via `IngestItem.warnings`, and aggregate them into `IngestReport.skipped_by_extension` with CLI / TUI / README / `kebab init` template all calling out the four supported extensions (`.md`, `.png`, `.jpg/.jpeg`, `.pdf`).
+
+**Architecture:** Two coordinated streams. (1) Config: drop `WorkspaceCfg.include` + emit a one-shot `tracing::warn!` when an old config still has it (raw TOML key probe). (2) Ingest pipeline: every Skipped per-asset return gains `warnings: vec!["unsupported media type: .ext"]` (or `"kb:// URI not yet supported"`); the asset loop bumps a new `aggregate.skipped_by_extension: BTreeMap<String, u32>` keyed by lowercase ext (`<no-ext>` sentinel for files without one). CLI summary + TUI status_line render the breakdown desc-sorted on terminal events.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Rust 2024, serde, toml 0.8, tracing. `BTreeMap` for stable JSON key order. No new deps. No SQLite migration.
+
+**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-05-p9-fb-25-config-include-removal-design.md`
+
+---
+
+## File Structure
+
+**Modified:**
+- `crates/kebab-config/src/lib.rs` — drop `WorkspaceCfg.include` field + update `WorkspaceCfg::defaults()` + add `from_file` deprecation probe.
+- `crates/kebab-app/src/lib.rs` — `init_workspace` header comment lists supported extensions + (no code change needed beyond default config no longer carrying include); ingest pipeline's three Skipped emit sites populate `warnings` + bump `skipped_by_extension`.
+- `crates/kebab-app/src/ingest_progress.rs` — `AggregateCounts.skipped_by_extension: BTreeMap<String, u32>`.
+- `crates/kebab-core/src/ingest.rs` — `IngestReport.skipped_by_extension: BTreeMap<String, u32>`.
+- `crates/kebab-cli/src/main.rs` — drop `include: cfg.workspace.include.clone()` from SourceScope construction; render breakdown in summary print.
+- `crates/kebab-tui/src/ingest_progress.rs` — drop `include: cfg.workspace.include.clone()` from SourceScope construction; render breakdown in `status_line` final / aborted.
+- `docs/wire-schema/v1/ingest_report.schema.json` — additive `skipped_by_extension` (object, additionalProperties integer ≥ 0).
+- `README.md` — `kebab tui` / `kebab ingest` cell appends supported-extension list + skip-reason mention.
+- `HANDOFF.md`, `tasks/HOTFIXES.md`, `tasks/INDEX.md`, `tasks/p9/p9-fb-25-config-include-removal.md`.
+
+`SourceScope` (in `kebab-core/src/traits.rs`) keeps its `include: Vec<String>` field — it's a design-level abstraction (§7.1) that connectors / routers may use later. Removing it is a separate spec.
+
+---
+
+### Task 1: Drop `WorkspaceCfg.include` + add deprecation probe
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/kebab-config/src/lib.rs` (struct + defaults + from_file)
+
+This task removes the field but keeps backward-compat: an old `config.toml` with `include = [...]` still loads (serde ignores unknown keys without `deny_unknown_fields`). On detection, emit a one-shot `tracing::warn!`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing tests**
+
+Append to the existing `#[cfg(test)] mod tests` block in `crates/kebab-config/src/lib.rs` (find via `grep -n "fn defaults_are_serde_roundtrip_stable" crates/kebab-config/src/lib.rs`):

+        // workspace.include field tolerance.
+        let parsed: Result<Config, _> = toml::from_str(toml_text);
+        assert!(parsed.is_ok(), "legacy include must not break load: {:?}", parsed.err());
+        let cfg = parsed.unwrap();
+        assert_eq!(cfg.workspace.root, "/tmp/kebab-legacy");
+        assert_eq!(cfg.workspace.exclude, vec![".git/**".to_string()]);
+    }
+
+    /// p9-fb-25: `WorkspaceCfg::defaults()` no longer carries `include`.
+    #[test]
+    fn workspace_defaults_have_no_include_field() {
+        let ws = WorkspaceCfg::defaults();
+        // We're not asserting include is absent (Rust struct field
+        // doesn't have such a query). We assert the default has the
+        // expected exclude shape and the struct definition reflects
+        // the removal — this test will fail to compile if a stray
+        // reference to ws.include lingers.
+        assert!(!ws.exclude.is_empty(), "default exclude should retain `.git/**` etc.");
+    }
+```
+
+If `Config` doesn't have `#[serde(default)]` at the section level (chunking / models / etc.), the legacy-config test will fail because the abbreviated TOML omits required sections. In that case, expand the legacy TOML in the test to include all required sections — the goal is to verify `include` is ignored, not to test default fallback. Use `Config::defaults()` and serialize → modify → deserialize as a shortcut:
+
+```rust
+    #[test]
+    fn legacy_include_field_is_ignored_silently() {
+        let mut cfg = Config::defaults();
+        cfg.workspace.root = "/tmp/kebab-legacy".to_string();
+        let mut toml_text = toml::to_string(&cfg).expect("default round-trips");
+        // Inject a legacy `include = [...]` line into the [workspace] block.
+        toml_text = toml_text.replace(
+            "[workspace]",
+            "[workspace]\ninclude = [\"**/*.md\", \"**/*.txt\"]",
+        );
+        let parsed: Result<Config, _> = toml::from_str(&toml_text);
+        assert!(parsed.is_ok(), "legacy include must not break load: {:?}", parsed.err());
+        let cfg = parsed.unwrap();
+        assert_eq!(cfg.workspace.root, "/tmp/kebab-legacy");
+    }
+```
+
+Run: `cargo test -p kebab-config --lib legacy_include_field_is_ignored_silently`
+Expected: FAIL — current `WorkspaceCfg` still has `include: Vec<String>` so deserialize SUCCEEDS but `workspace_defaults_have_no_include_field` test compiles and passes; the first test passes too because serde default for `Vec<String>` is empty. Wait — the FAIL precondition is wrong. Both tests pass against current code.
+
+Reframe: write a **forward-looking** test that asserts the field is gone:
+
+```rust
+    /// p9-fb-25: `WorkspaceCfg` must NOT have an `include` field.
+    /// Compile-time proof: this test references every field of
+    /// `WorkspaceCfg` exhaustively. If a future commit re-introduces
+    /// `include`, the destructure here breaks (refactor failure).
+    #[test]
+    fn workspace_cfg_has_only_root_and_exclude_fields() {
+        let ws = WorkspaceCfg::defaults();
+        // Exhaustive destructure — adding a new field would break
+        // this on the next compile.
+        let WorkspaceCfg { root: _, exclude: _ } = &ws;
+    }
+```
+
+This test will NOT compile against current code (because `WorkspaceCfg` still has `include`). The compile error IS the test failure.
+
+Run: `cargo build -p kebab-config --tests`
+Expected: error[E0027] missing structure fields OR error mentioning `include`. **This is the failing test.**
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Drop the field + update defaults**
+
+Open `crates/kebab-config/src/lib.rs`. Find `pub struct WorkspaceCfg` (around line 51). Remove the `pub include: Vec<String>` line:
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Clone, Debug, PartialEq, Serialize, Deserialize)]
+pub struct WorkspaceCfg {
+    pub root: String,
+    pub exclude: Vec<String>,
+}
+```
+
+Find `WorkspaceCfg::defaults()` or the `Config::defaults()` body that constructs `WorkspaceCfg { root, include, exclude }` (around line 252). Drop the `include: vec!["**/*.md".to_string()],` line:
+
+```rust
+            workspace: WorkspaceCfg {
+                root: "~/KnowledgeBase".to_string(),
+                exclude: vec![
+                    ".git/**".to_string(),
+                    "node_modules/**".to_string(),
+                    ".obsidian/**".to_string(),
+                ],
+            },
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add deprecation probe in `from_file`**
+
+In the same file, find `pub fn from_file` (around line 397). Replace the body to probe for the legacy `include` key BEFORE typed deserialize:
+
+```rust
+    pub fn from_file(path: &Path) -> anyhow::Result<Self> {
+        let text = std::fs::read_to_string(path)?;
+
+        // p9-fb-25: probe for the legacy `workspace.include` key — if
+        // present, emit a one-shot deprecation warning. Detection uses
+        // raw `toml::Value` lookup; the warning is fired via a
+        // process-level `OnceLock` so a long-running TUI / CLI run
+        // doesn't spam the log on every Config::load.
+        if let Ok(value) = toml::from_str::<toml::Value>(&text) {
+            if value
+                .get("workspace")
+                .and_then(|v| v.get("include"))
+                .is_some()
+            {
+                static DEPRECATION_FIRED: std::sync::OnceLock<()> = std::sync::OnceLock::new();
+                DEPRECATION_FIRED.get_or_init(|| {
+                    tracing::warn!(
+                        target: "kebab-config",
+                        config = %path.display(),
+                        "deprecated config: `workspace.include` 필드는 더 이상 사용되지 않습니다 (p9-fb-25). 처리 가능한 형식 (md / png / jpg / pdf) 은 extractor 가 자동 결정. 다음 버전부터 config 갱신 권장."
+                    );
+                });
+            }
+        }
+
+        let mut cfg: Self = toml::from_str(&text)?;
+        cfg.source_dir = path.parent().map(Path::to_path_buf);
+        Ok(cfg)
+    }
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests**
+
+Run: `cargo test -p kebab-config --lib`
+Expected: all pass. The forward-looking exhaustive-destructure test now compiles + asserts the struct shape.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Build the workspace + surface compile errors**
+
+Run: `cargo build --workspace`
+Expected: compile errors at every site that constructs `WorkspaceCfg { ..., include: ..., ... }` or reads `cfg.workspace.include`. The known sites:
+- `crates/kebab-cli/src/main.rs:329` — drop `include: cfg.workspace.include.clone(),` (Task 2 will add the proper SourceScope construction).
+- `crates/kebab-tui/src/ingest_progress.rs:39` — same.
+- Test fixtures inside `kebab-config` if any — drop the `include: vec![...]` literal.
+
+For Task 1's commit, fix ONLY the kebab-config sites (the test passes fix). Other crates' compile errors roll into Task 2.
+
+For now, in `crates/kebab-cli/src/main.rs` line 329 and `crates/kebab-tui/src/ingest_progress.rs` line 39, replace `include: cfg.workspace.include.clone()` with `include: Vec::new()` (Task 2 will use `..Default::default()` once we touch the structures more carefully).
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: clippy + commit**
+
+Run: `cargo clippy -p kebab-config --all-targets -- -D warnings`
+Expected: clean.
+
+```bash

+
+---
+
+### Task 2: Switch SourceScope construction to `..Default::default()` for cleaner removal
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/kebab-cli/src/main.rs` (line 327)
+- Modify: `crates/kebab-tui/src/ingest_progress.rs` (line 38)
+
+Task 1's quick fix (`include: Vec::new()`) is functional but ugly. This task replaces those with the idiomatic `..Default::default()` pattern.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Update CLI ingest dispatch**
+
+Open `crates/kebab-cli/src/main.rs`. Find the `Cmd::Ingest { ... }` arm (around line 321). Replace the SourceScope literal:
+
+```rust
+            let scope = kebab_core::SourceScope {
+                root: root.clone().unwrap_or_else(|| PathBuf::from(&cfg.workspace.root)),
+                exclude: cfg.workspace.exclude.clone(),
+                ..Default::default()
+            };
+```
+
+(SourceScope derives `Default` per `kebab-core/src/traits.rs`; `..Default::default()` fills `include: Vec::new()` for now. If `include` is removed from `SourceScope` in a future spec, this site needs no change.)
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Update TUI ingest dispatch**
+
+Open `crates/kebab-tui/src/ingest_progress.rs`. Find the SourceScope construction (around line 38):
+
+```rust
+        scope: kebab_core::SourceScope {
+            root: PathBuf::from(&cfg.workspace.root),
+            exclude: cfg.workspace.exclude.clone(),
+            ..Default::default()
+        },
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Build + test**
+
+Run: `cargo build --workspace`
+Run: `cargo test -p kebab-cli -p kebab-tui --lib`
+Run: `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings`
+Expected: all clean.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/kebab-cli/src/main.rs crates/kebab-tui/src/ingest_progress.rs

+
+### Task 3: `init_workspace` header — supported extensions
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/kebab-app/src/lib.rs` (`init_workspace`, around line 138)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Update the header comment**
+
+Open `crates/kebab-app/src/lib.rs`. Find `let header = "\` inside `init_workspace` (around line 138). Replace the entire `header` string with a version that adds the supported-extensions block AND removes any reference to `include`:
+
+```rust
+        let header = "\
+# kebab config — `~/.config/kebab/config.toml`.
+#
+# `workspace.root` accepts:
+#   • absolute paths       (`/home/me/KnowledgeBase`)
+#   • tilde                (`~/KnowledgeBase`)         ← default
+#   • env vars             (`${XDG_DATA_HOME}/kebab`)
+#   • relative paths       (`./notes`, `notes`, `../shared/x`)
+#     — relative paths resolve against the directory of THIS
+#       config file, NOT the user's `cwd` at invocation time.
+#
+# 처리 가능한 형식 (extractor 가 자동 결정 — config 에 명시할 수 없음):
+#   • Markdown: .md
+#   • 이미지:   .png .jpg .jpeg  (OCR + caption)
+#   • PDF:      .pdf
+# 다른 확장자는 ingest 시 자동 skip + warning. 처리 대상 폴더의
+# 일부만 ingest 하고 싶으면 `kebab ingest <path>` 로 root 명시
+# 또는 `.kebabignore` 파일 / 본 `workspace.exclude` 로 denylist.
+#
+# Override individual keys at runtime with `KEBAB_*` env vars
+# (e.g. `KEBAB_WORKSPACE_ROOT=/tmp/test kebab ingest`).
+\n";
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Smoke test by running `kebab init` against a temp config**
+
+Add (or extend) a test in `crates/kebab-app/tests/`:
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn init_workspace_header_lists_supported_extensions() {
+    let tmp = tempfile::tempdir().unwrap();
+    // SAFETY: each test sets KEBAB env vars in a process-wide manner;
+    // this test relies on init_workspace writing relative to the
+    // current XDG_CONFIG_HOME. We override XDG_CONFIG_HOME to the
+    // tmp dir so the produced config sits inside `tmp`.
+    unsafe {
+        std::env::set_var("XDG_CONFIG_HOME", tmp.path());
+    }
+    kebab_app::init_workspace(true).expect("init_workspace");
+    let cfg_path = kebab_config::Config::xdg_config_path();
+    let body = std::fs::read_to_string(&cfg_path).unwrap();
+    assert!(body.contains("처리 가능한 형식"), "header lists supported types");
+    assert!(body.contains("Markdown: .md"), "md listed");
+    assert!(body.contains(".png .jpg .jpeg"), "image extensions listed");
+    assert!(body.contains("PDF:      .pdf"), "pdf listed");
+    assert!(!body.contains("workspace.include"), "no leftover include reference");
+}
+```
+
+If the existing kebab-app test infra already has an `init_workspace` test, extend it. Otherwise create a new file `crates/kebab-app/tests/init_template.rs`.
+
+`unsafe`: Rust 2024 + recent toolchain may flag `set_var` as unsafe. Wrap in `unsafe { ... }` block per current Rust semantics.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run + commit**
+
+```bash
+cargo test -p kebab-app --test init_template  # or whatever filename

+
+### Task 4: Add `skipped_by_extension` to `IngestReport` + `AggregateCounts` + wire schema
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/kebab-core/src/ingest.rs`
+- Modify: `crates/kebab-app/src/ingest_progress.rs`
+- Modify: `docs/wire-schema/v1/ingest_report.schema.json`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add field to `IngestReport`**
+
+Open `crates/kebab-core/src/ingest.rs`. Replace the `IngestReport` struct (around lines 10-22) by adding the new field:
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Clone, Debug, PartialEq, Serialize, Deserialize)]
+pub struct IngestReport {
+    pub scope: SourceScope,
+    pub scanned: u32,
+    pub new: u32,
+    pub updated: u32,
+    pub skipped: u32,
+    pub unchanged: u32,
+    pub errors: u32,
+    pub duration_ms: u32,
+    /// p9-fb-25: per-extension skip count. Key = lowercase extension
+    /// without leading dot (e.g. "docx", "txt"); files without an
+    /// extension key under "<no-ext>". `BTreeMap` so the wire JSON
+    /// has stable key order across runs.
+    pub skipped_by_extension: std::collections::BTreeMap<String, u32>,
+    pub items: Option<Vec<IngestItem>>,
+}
+```
+
+The import for `BTreeMap` lives inside the field annotation via the full path; don't add a `use` at the top of the file.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add field to `AggregateCounts`**
+
+Open `crates/kebab-app/src/ingest_progress.rs`. Replace the struct (around lines 25-37):
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Clone, Debug, Default, PartialEq, Serialize, Deserialize)]
+pub struct AggregateCounts {
+    pub scanned: u32,
+    pub new: u32,
+    pub updated: u32,
+    pub skipped: u32,
+    pub unchanged: u32,
+    pub errors: u32,
+    pub chunks_indexed: u32,
+    pub embeddings_indexed: u32,
+    /// p9-fb-25: per-extension skip count. See [`IngestReport.skipped_by_extension`].
+    pub skipped_by_extension: std::collections::BTreeMap<String, u32>,
+}
+```
+
+Note: removed `Copy` from the derive. `BTreeMap` is not `Copy`. Replaces `Copy + Eq + PartialEq` with `Eq + PartialEq` only. `Copy`-using callers (if any) need to switch to `clone()`.
+
+Run: `cargo build -p kebab-app`. Look for `error: ... requires Copy` errors. Fix each by `.clone()`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Update wire schema**
+
+Open `docs/wire-schema/v1/ingest_report.schema.json`. Inside `properties`, add:
+
+```json
+        "skipped_by_extension": {
+          "type": "object",
+          "additionalProperties": {
+            "type": "integer",
+            "minimum": 0
+          },
+          "description": "p9-fb-25: per-extension skip count. Key = lowercase extension without leading dot (e.g. 'docx'). Files without extension key under '<no-ext>'."
+        },
+```
+
+If `required` array exists, add `skipped_by_extension` to it (always present, even if empty `{}`).
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Build + fix construction sites**
+
+Run: `cargo build --workspace`. The compiler will surface every `IngestReport { ... }` and `AggregateCounts { ... }` literal that omits the new field. Add `skipped_by_extension: BTreeMap::new()` (or `Default::default()`) at each.
+
+Add `use std::collections::BTreeMap;` at the top of test fixture files where the literal is constructed (so the addition is concise — `BTreeMap::new()` rather than `std::collections::BTreeMap::new()`).
+
+Snapshot fixtures (`crates/kebab-store-sqlite/snapshots/ingest_report.snapshot.json`) — add `"skipped_by_extension": {}` between two existing fields (alphabetic / logical order — between `skipped` and `errors` to match struct declaration order).
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run + commit**
+
+```bash
+cargo test --workspace --no-fail-fast -j 1 2>&1 | grep "^test result:"
+cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
+git add -u
+git commit -m "feat(kebab-core, kebab-app): p9-fb-25 task 4 — IngestReport.skipped_by_extension + wire schema additive

+### Task 5: Populate `IngestItem.warnings` for Skipped paths + bump `skipped_by_extension`
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/kebab-app/src/lib.rs` (three Skipped emit sites + one asset loop)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
+
+Create `crates/kebab-app/tests/skip_reason.rs`:
+
+```rust
+//! p9-fb-25: skipped per-asset items must carry a human-readable reason
+//! in `warnings`, and the report's `skipped_by_extension` must aggregate
+//! by lowercase extension.
+
+mod common;
+
+use common::TestEnv;
+
+#[test]
+fn unsupported_extension_skip_carries_warning_and_is_aggregated() {
+    let env = TestEnv::lexical_only();
+    // Workspace already populated by TestEnv; add a `.docx` and a
+    // file with no extension to trigger Skipped paths.
+    let workspace_root = std::path::PathBuf::from(&env.config.workspace.root);
+    std::fs::write(workspace_root.join("legacy.docx"), b"unsupported").unwrap();
+    std::fs::write(workspace_root.join("Makefile"), b"unsupported").unwrap();
+
+    let report = kebab_app::ingest_with_config(
+        env.config.clone(),
+        env.scope(),
+        false,
+    ).unwrap();
+
+    let items = report.items.as_ref().expect("items array populated");
+    let docx_item = items.iter().find(|i| i.doc_path.0.ends_with("legacy.docx")).unwrap();
+    assert_eq!(docx_item.kind, kebab_core::IngestItemKind::Skipped);
+    assert_eq!(
+        docx_item.warnings,
+        vec!["unsupported media type: .docx".to_string()],

+    );
+    assert_eq!(report.skipped_by_extension.get("docx").copied(), Some(1));
+    assert_eq!(report.skipped_by_extension.get("<no-ext>").copied(), Some(1));
+}
+```
+
+If `TestEnv::lexical_only()` populates a workspace with markdown fixtures already, the docx + Makefile additions are extra. If not, build a fresh `TempDir` workspace following the pattern other kebab-app tests use.
+
+Run: `cargo test -p kebab-app --test skip_reason`
+Expected: FAIL — current `warnings: Vec::new()` for Skipped + `skipped_by_extension` is always empty.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Update the three `IngestItemKind::Skipped` emit sites**
+
+Open `crates/kebab-app/src/lib.rs`. Three sites currently return `IngestItem { kind: Skipped, ..., warnings: Vec::new(), ... }`:
+
+- One at the top of `ingest_one_asset` (the `_ =>` fallback when MediaType doesn't match).
+- One when `SourceUri::Kb` (kb:// URI not yet supported).
+- One in `ingest_one_image_asset` when SourceUri is kb://.
+- One in `ingest_one_pdf_asset` when SourceUri is kb://.
+
+For each Skipped emit, replace `warnings: Vec::new()` with the appropriate reason.
+
+For the **media-type fallback** at the top of `ingest_one_asset`: extract the extension from `asset.workspace_path.0` (lowercase, no dot, `<no-ext>` sentinel) and emit:
+
+```rust
+let ext = ext_for_skip_warning(&asset.workspace_path.0);
+return Ok(kebab_core::IngestItem {
+    kind: kebab_core::IngestItemKind::Skipped,
+    doc_id: None,
+    doc_path: asset.workspace_path.clone(),
+    asset_id: Some(asset.asset_id.clone()),
+    byte_len: Some(asset.byte_len),
+    block_count: None,
+    chunk_count: None,
+    parser_version: None,
+    chunker_version: None,
+    warnings: vec![format!("unsupported media type: .{ext}")],
+    error: None,
+});
+```
+
+For the **kb:// URI** sites:
+
+```rust
+warnings: vec!["kb:// URI not yet supported".to_string()],
+```
+
+Add the helper near the other per-asset helpers:
+
+```rust
+/// p9-fb-25: extract the lowercase extension (no leading dot) from a
+/// workspace path for use in the `unsupported media type: .X`
+/// warning + `IngestReport.skipped_by_extension` key. Returns

+/// `Foo.DOCX` and `bar.docx` aggregate under the same key.
+fn ext_for_skip_warning(path: &str) -> String {
+    std::path::Path::new(path)
+        .extension()
+        .and_then(|s| s.to_str())
+        .map(|s| s.to_ascii_lowercase())
+        .unwrap_or_else(|| "<no-ext>".to_string())
+}
+```
+
+Note: for the `<no-ext>` case the warning should read `"unsupported media type: <no-ext>"` (no leading dot — sentinel). Adjust the format! call:
+
+```rust
+let ext = ext_for_skip_warning(&asset.workspace_path.0);
+let warning = if ext == "<no-ext>" {
+    "unsupported media type: <no-ext>".to_string()
+} else {
+    format!("unsupported media type: .{ext}")
+};
+warnings: vec![warning],
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Bump `aggregate.skipped_by_extension` in the asset loop**
+
+Find the asset loop in `ingest_with_config_opts` (search for `IngestItemKind::Skipped =>` arms in the per-result match). Where the loop currently does `aggregate.skipped += 1`, also bump the per-extension counter using the same `ext_for_skip_warning` helper:
+
+```rust
+IngestItemKind::Skipped => {
+    aggregate.skipped += 1;
+    let ext = ext_for_skip_warning(&item.doc_path.0);
+    *aggregate.skipped_by_extension.entry(ext).or_insert(0) += 1;
+}
+```
+
+After the loop, when building the final `IngestReport`, populate `skipped_by_extension: aggregate.skipped_by_extension.clone()`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run the test**
+
+Run: `cargo test -p kebab-app --test skip_reason`
+Expected: PASS.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run the full kebab-app suite for regressions**
+
+Run: `cargo test -p kebab-app`
+Expected: existing tests pass. The change is additive — Skipped items previously had empty `warnings` and `skipped_by_extension` was 0. Tests that asserted `warnings.is_empty()` may need updating (search):
+
+```bash
+grep -rn 'warnings.is_empty\|warnings, vec!\[\]\|warnings == Vec::new' crates/kebab-app/tests/
+```
+
+Update any failing test to either skip the warnings assertion (if not the focus) or assert the new content.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: clippy + commit**
+
+```bash
+cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
+git add -u
+git commit -m "feat(kebab-app): p9-fb-25 task 5 — Skipped warnings + skipped_by_extension aggregation

+Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>"
+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 6: CLI summary + TUI status_line render breakdown
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/kebab-cli/src/main.rs` (ingest summary print)
+- Modify: `crates/kebab-tui/src/ingest_progress.rs` (status_line)
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Update CLI summary**
+
+Open `crates/kebab-cli/src/main.rs`. Find the human-mode summary print (search for `"new" =>` or similar around the ingest-finished branch). The current format is `"... {N} skipped, ..."`. Replace with:
+
+```rust
+let skipped_breakdown = if report.skipped_by_extension.is_empty() {
+    String::new()
+} else {
+    let mut entries: Vec<_> = report.skipped_by_extension.iter().collect();
+    // desc by count, ties broken by key for stable output.
+    entries.sort_by(|a, b| b.1.cmp(a.1).then_with(|| a.0.cmp(b.0)));
+    let parts: Vec<String> = entries.iter().map(|(k, v)| format!("{v} {k}")).collect();
+    format!(": {}", parts.join(", "))
+};
+println!(
+    "✓ ingest: {} docs ({} new, {} updated, {} unchanged, {} skipped{}), {} chunks indexed in {}s",
+    report.scanned,
+    report.new,
+    report.updated,
+    report.unchanged,
+    report.skipped,
+    skipped_breakdown,
+    /* chunks_indexed: derive from items or store in IngestReport */ 0,  // adapt to actual
+    report.duration_ms / 1000,
+);
+```
+
+Adapt to the actual print site — the existing print may use `report.duration_ms` directly or have a `chunks_indexed` already plumbed. Match the existing surrounding pattern.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Update TUI status_line**
+
+Open `crates/kebab-tui/src/ingest_progress.rs`. Find the success branch in `pub fn status_line` (around line 170+). Apply the same breakdown logic:
+
+```rust
+let skipped_breakdown = if state.counts.skipped_by_extension.is_empty() {
+    String::new()
+} else {
+    let mut entries: Vec<_> = state.counts.skipped_by_extension.iter().collect();
+    entries.sort_by(|a, b| b.1.cmp(a.1).then_with(|| a.0.cmp(b.0)));
+    let parts: Vec<String> = entries.iter().map(|(k, v)| format!("{v} {k}")).collect();
+    format!(": {}", parts.join(", "))
+};
+return format!(
+    "✓ ingest: {} docs ({} new, {} updated, {} unchanged, {} skipped{}), {} chunks indexed in {}s",
+    state.counts.scanned,
+    state.counts.new,
+    state.counts.updated,
+    state.counts.unchanged,
+    state.counts.skipped,
+    skipped_breakdown,
+    state.counts.chunks_indexed,
+    secs,
+);
+```
+
+Apply the same to the aborted branch:
+
+```rust
+return format!(
+    "✗ ingest aborted at {}/{} after {}s (new={} updated={} unchanged={} skipped={}{} errors={})",
+    state.counts.scanned.saturating_sub(state.counts.errors),
+    state.counts.scanned,
+    secs,
+    state.counts.new,
+    state.counts.updated,
+    state.counts.unchanged,
+    state.counts.skipped,
+    skipped_breakdown,
+    state.counts.errors,
+);
+```
+
+In-flight branch unchanged.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Update existing status_line tests**
+
+Find `#[cfg(test)] mod tests` in `crates/kebab-tui/src/ingest_progress.rs`. Existing tests construct `AggregateCounts` literals. After Task 4 they already have `skipped_by_extension: BTreeMap::new()`. For tests that exercise the breakdown, build an `AggregateCounts` with a populated map:
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn status_line_includes_skipped_breakdown() {
+    use std::collections::BTreeMap;
+    let mut counts = AggregateCounts::default();
+    counts.scanned = 10;
+    counts.skipped = 3;
+    counts.skipped_by_extension.insert("docx".into(), 2);
+    counts.skipped_by_extension.insert("txt".into(), 1);
+    let state = IngestState { /* fill mandatory fields */ };
+    state.counts = counts;
+    state.terminal_at = Some(std::time::Instant::now());  // make `if state.terminal_at.is_some()` true
+    let line = status_line(&state);
+    assert!(line.contains("3 skipped: 2 docx, 1 txt"), "got: {line}");
+}
+```
+
+Adapt to the actual `IngestState` struct fields.
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run + commit**
+
+```bash
+cargo test -p kebab-cli -p kebab-tui --lib
+cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings
+git add -u
+git commit -m "feat(kebab-cli, kebab-tui): p9-fb-25 task 6 — render skipped-by-extension breakdown

+```
+
+---
+
+### Task 7: Docs sync
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `README.md`, `HANDOFF.md`, `tasks/HOTFIXES.md`, `tasks/INDEX.md`
+- Create: `tasks/p9/p9-fb-25-config-include-removal.md`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: README**
+
+Open `README.md`. Find the `kebab ingest` row (or paragraph if it's not a row). Append:
+
+```
+**지원 형식** (extractor 자동 결정 — config 에 명시 불가): Markdown (`.md`), 이미지 (`.png` / `.jpg` / `.jpeg`, OCR + caption), PDF (`.pdf`). 다른 확장자는 자동 skip — `IngestItem.warnings` 에 사유 (`"unsupported media type: .docx"` 등), `IngestReport.skipped_by_extension` 에 카운트 분류, CLI / TUI summary 에 breakdown 표시.
+```
+
+If the `kebab tui` row already mentions some of this, integrate into existing text instead of duplicating.
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: HANDOFF.md**
+
+Add a new entry directly above the most recent `p9-fb-24` row (or wherever the dated list begins):
+
+```
+- **2026-05-05 P9 post-도그푸딩 (p9-fb-25)** — Config 의 `workspace.include` 필드 제거 + 지원 형식 가시성. 사용자 도그푸딩 피드백: include + exclude 동시 존재가 case 4 (둘 다 매치 안 함) 의미 모호 + 어차피 처리 가능 형식 (md / png / jpg / pdf) 이 정해져 있으니 명시 필요. `WorkspaceCfg.include` 제거 (옛 config 의 `include = [...]` 은 silently 무시 + 단발 deprecation warning). `IngestItem.warnings` 가 Skipped 시 사유 (`"unsupported media type: .docx"` 등) 채움. `IngestReport.skipped_by_extension: BTreeMap<String, u32>` 신규 (additive wire — release 트리거 안 됨). CLI / TUI summary 에 breakdown 표시 (`"5 skipped: 3 docx, 1 txt, 1 epub"`). README + `kebab init` 헤더 주석에 지원 형식 명시. spec: `tasks/p9/p9-fb-25-config-include-removal.md`. HOTFIXES `2026-05-05 — p9-fb-25` 가 source of truth.
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: HOTFIXES.md**
+
+Open `tasks/HOTFIXES.md`. Add new section above `## 2026-05-04 — p9-fb-24`:
+
+```markdown
+## 2026-05-05 — p9-fb-25 (post-dogfooding): config workspace.include 제거 + 지원 형식 가시성
+
+**Source feedback**: 사용자 도그푸딩 2026-05-05 — config 의 `workspace.include` + `workspace.exclude` 동시 존재가 case 4 (둘 다 매치 안 함) 의미 모호 + 어차피 처리 가능 형식 (md / png / jpg / pdf) 이 정해져 있으니 사용자에게 명시 필요.
+
+**Live binding 변경**:
+
+- `kebab-config::WorkspaceCfg.include: Vec<String>` 제거. denylist-only 모델. 옛 config 의 `include = [...]` 은 serde 가 silently 무시 + `Config::from_file` 가 단발 `tracing::warn!` 으로 deprecation 안내 (`std::sync::OnceLock` — 같은 process 안에서 한 번만).
+- `kebab-core::IngestItem.warnings` 가 Skipped 시 사유 채움: `"unsupported media type: .{ext}"` (ext 없으면 `"unsupported media type: <no-ext>"`) / `"kb:// URI not yet supported"`.
+- `kebab-core::IngestReport.skipped_by_extension: BTreeMap<String, u32>` + `kebab-app::AggregateCounts.skipped_by_extension` 신규. key = lowercase ext (`docx`, `txt`), no-ext sentinel = `<no-ext>`. wire schema `ingest_report.v1` 에 additive 추가 (v1 호환 유지 — release 트리거 안 됨 per CLAUDE.md release 규약).
+- CLI summary + TUI status_line final / aborted: `5 skipped: 3 docx, 1 txt, 1 epub` 형식. desc 정렬 + 모두 표시.
+- `kebab-app::init_workspace` 헤더 주석에 지원 형식 명시 (Markdown / 이미지 / PDF + 각 확장자).
+- README `kebab ingest` 설명에 지원 형식 + skip 사유 + breakdown 표시 명시.
+
+**Spec contract impact**: design §6.2 의 `workspace.include` 항목 invalidate (frozen 그대로 두고 본 항목 + spec `tasks/p9/p9-fb-25-config-include-removal.md` 가 source of truth). design §3.x `IngestReport` + §2.4a `IngestEvent` 에 새 필드 / 새 warning 의미 추가 (additive).
+
+**Tests added**: 약 6 신규 (kebab-config 단위 2: legacy include 무시 + WorkspaceCfg 필드 destructure / kebab-app 통합 1: skip_reason / kebab-tui 단위 1: breakdown 라인 / kebab-app 단위 1: init template 헤더 / kebab-app 단위 1: ext_for_skip_warning helper). 기존 723 워크스페이스 테스트 무수정 통과.
+
+**Known limitation (deferred)**:
+
+- `SourceScope.include` (`kebab-core::traits`) 는 그대로 — design §7.1 abstraction 이라 별 spec 으로 다룰 수 있음. 본 PR 은 config 단의 `WorkspaceCfg.include` 만 정리.
+- 새 extractor (txt / docx / epub 등) 도입은 별 spec.
+- `kebab doctor` 가 unsupported 파일 카운트 분석은 후속 task.
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: INDEX.md**
+
+Open `tasks/INDEX.md`. Append to the p9-fb section:
+
+```
+  - [p9-fb-25 config workspace.include 제거 + 지원 형식 가시성 (post-도그푸딩)](p9/p9-fb-25-config-include-removal.md)
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Per-task spec file**
+
+Create `tasks/p9/p9-fb-25-config-include-removal.md`:

+구현 계획: `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-05-p9-fb-25-config-include-removal.md`.
+
+## Goal
+
+- `WorkspaceCfg.include` 필드 제거 (denylist-only 모델 정착).
+- 사용자가 ingest 결과에서 어떤 파일이 왜 skip 됐는지 즉시 파악.
+- 지원 형식 (md / png / jpg / pdf) 을 README + `kebab init` config 주석에 명시.
+
+## Behavior contract
+
+- 옛 config 의 `include = [...]` 은 silently 무시 + 단발 deprecation warning.
+- Skipped 시 `IngestItem.warnings` = `["unsupported media type: .ext"]` 또는 `["unsupported media type: <no-ext>"]` 또는 `["kb:// URI not yet supported"]`.
+- `IngestReport.skipped_by_extension` = `BTreeMap<lowercase-ext, count>`. no-ext 키 = `<no-ext>`.
+- CLI / TUI summary final / aborted 라인에 `"N skipped: A docx, B txt, ..."` (desc 정렬, 모두).
+
+## Tests
+
+- legacy include 무시 + 새 WorkspaceCfg 필드 destructure (kebab-config).
+- skip_reason 통합 (kebab-app): docx + Makefile 두 파일 ingest → warnings + skipped_by_extension 채워짐.
+- status_line breakdown (kebab-tui).
+- init template 헤더 (kebab-app).
+- ext_for_skip_warning helper (kebab-app).
+
+## Risks / notes
+
+- 옛 config 가 narrow allowlist (예: `include = ["**/*.md"]`) 면 본 변경 후 `.png` 등이 자동 ingest 시작 — deprecation warning + README 가 alarm.
+- `SourceScope.include` (kebab-core) 는 그대로.
+
+Live deviations 반영 위치: `tasks/HOTFIXES.md` `2026-05-05 — p9-fb-25` 항목.

+## Self-Review Notes (writer)
+
+**Spec coverage:**
+- `WorkspaceCfg.include` 제거 + deprecation warning → Task 1.
+- SourceScope construction cleanup → Task 2.
+- `kebab init` header supported-extensions → Task 3.
+- `IngestReport.skipped_by_extension` + AggregateCounts + wire schema → Task 4.
+- `IngestItem.warnings` populate + asset loop bumps → Task 5.
+- CLI / TUI summary breakdown render → Task 6.
+- README + docs sync → Task 7.
+
+**Type / API consistency:**
+- `BTreeMap<String, u32>` used in both `IngestReport.skipped_by_extension` (Task 4) and `AggregateCounts.skipped_by_extension` (Task 4) — same type.
+- `<no-ext>` sentinel used in BOTH `IngestItem.warnings` (Task 5) and `BTreeMap` key (Task 5).
+- `ext_for_skip_warning` helper defined in Task 5, consumed by Tasks 5 + 6 (CLI + TUI consume the resulting `BTreeMap`, not the helper directly).
+- `Copy` derive removed from `AggregateCounts` (Task 4) — callers using `let counts = state.counts;` continue to compile because `Clone` still works (assignment of non-Copy type via move; Rust borrow checker handles).
+
+**Placeholder scan:** Each step has full code. Adapter-language ("adapt to actual existing helper") is reserved for genuine ambiguity (CLI summary print site, init template test fixture pattern) — the engineer must inspect 5-10 lines of context.
+
+**Risks documented:**
+- `Copy` removal on `AggregateCounts` may surface compile errors at call sites that rely on `Copy`. Plan flags this in Task 4 step 2 with grep instruction.
+- Deprecation warning might fire from the `kebab init` test if it produces a config with `include = [...]` first. Task 3's test uses `force=true` on a fresh dir → no `include` in default → no warning. Acceptable.
+- `set_var(XDG_CONFIG_HOME)` in init test relies on Rust 2024 `unsafe`. Plan flags the wrapping requirement.

+# Agent UX Improvements: Ingest Log Consistency + Invocation Flags Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Fix ingest progress log inconsistency (fb-26), add `--readonly`/`--quiet` global CLI flags (fb-28), and sync CLAUDE.md wire schema list.
+
+**Architecture:** Three independent changes bundled in one branch. `progress.rs` gets a `quiet` field on `ProgressMode::Human` and two bug fixes in `handle_human`. `main.rs` gets two new global flags on `Cli` plus a readonly guard block before subcommand dispatch. CLAUDE.md gets a corrected schema list.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Rust 2024, clap (already in use), indicatif (already in use), tempfile (already in use for tests)

+
+## Task 2: progress.rs — ProgressMode quiet field + from_flags update
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/kebab-cli/src/progress.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Update the existing unit tests to expect new from_flags signature**
+
+In `crates/kebab-cli/src/progress.rs`, the `#[cfg(test)]` block has two tests that call `from_flags`. Update them:
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn from_flags_json_takes_priority_over_tty() {
+    assert_eq!(ProgressMode::from_flags(true, false, false), ProgressMode::Json);
+}
+
+#[test]
+fn from_flags_human_reflects_stderr_tty() {
+    match ProgressMode::from_flags(false, false, false) {
+        ProgressMode::Human { .. } => {}
+        other => panic!("expected Human mode, got {other:?}"),
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Also add a new test for quiet and plain_env:
+
+```rust
+#[test]
+fn from_flags_quiet_sets_quiet_field() {
+    match ProgressMode::from_flags(false, true, false) {
+        ProgressMode::Human { quiet: true, .. } => {}
+        other => panic!("expected Human{{quiet:true}}, got {other:?}"),
+    }
+}
+
+#[test]
+fn from_flags_plain_env_forces_tty_false() {
+    // plain_env=true must set tty=false regardless of terminal state.
+    match ProgressMode::from_flags(false, false, true) {
+        ProgressMode::Human { tty: false, .. } => {}
+        other => panic!("expected Human{{tty:false}}, got {other:?}"),
+    }
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail (compilation error)**
+
+```bash
+cargo test -p kebab-cli --lib 2>&1 | tail -20
+```
+
+Expected: compile error — `from_flags` called with 1 argument but expects more.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement ProgressMode changes**
+
+In `crates/kebab-cli/src/progress.rs`, replace the enum and impl:
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug, PartialEq, Eq)]
+pub enum ProgressMode {
+    /// stdout = line-delimited `ingest_progress.v1`. stderr stays
+    /// silent for events (errors / log frames still go to stderr).
+    Json,
+    /// stdout reserved for the final report; stderr gets an indicatif
+    /// `ProgressBar` (TTY) or one short line per event (non-TTY).
+    Human { tty: bool, quiet: bool },
+}
+
+impl ProgressMode {
+    /// Pick the right mode from caller flags.
+    ///
+    /// - `json`: `--json` flag — takes priority, returns `Json`.
+    /// - `quiet`: `--quiet` flag — suppresses human-readable stderr when `Human`.
+    /// - `plain_env`: `KEBAB_PROGRESS=plain` — forces `tty=false` even in a TTY,
+    ///   for CI environments that emulate a TTY with a pty wrapper.
+    pub fn from_flags(json: bool, quiet: bool, plain_env: bool) -> Self {
+        if json {
+            Self::Json
+        } else {
+            let tty = !plain_env && std::io::stderr().is_terminal();
+            Self::Human { tty, quiet }
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Also update `handle()` in `impl ProgressDisplay` to pass `quiet` through, and update `handle_human`'s signature to accept `quiet` (body unchanged yet — Task 3 implements the suppression):
+
+```rust
+fn handle(&mut self, event: &IngestEvent) -> anyhow::Result<()> {
+    match self.mode {
+        ProgressMode::Json => emit_json(event),
+        ProgressMode::Human { tty, quiet } => self.handle_human(event, tty, quiet),
+    }
+}
+```
+
+And update the `handle_human` signature (keep body as-is, just add the param):
+
+```rust

+## Task 3: progress.rs — handle_human bug fixes + quiet suppression
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/kebab-cli/src/progress.rs`
+
+The current `handle_human` signature is `fn handle_human(&mut self, event: &IngestEvent, tty: bool)`. It has two bugs:
+1. `Aborted` — `writeln!` fires unconditionally (even in TTY mode)
+2. `Completed` TTY path — no final summary line after `bar.finish_and_clear()`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Replace handle_human entirely**
+
+Replace the full `handle_human` method (lines 99–191 in progress.rs) with:
+
+```rust
+fn handle_human(&mut self, event: &IngestEvent, tty: bool, quiet: bool) -> anyhow::Result<()> {
+    match event {
+        IngestEvent::ScanStarted { root } => {

+
+## Task 4: main.rs — --readonly/--quiet flags + is_mutating + readonly guard
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `crates/kebab-cli/src/main.rs`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add `readonly` and `quiet` to `Cli` struct**
+
+In `crates/kebab-cli/src/main.rs`, find the `struct Cli` definition (around line 16). Add two fields after the `json` field:
+
+```rust
+/// Disable all write-path subcommands (also: KEBAB_READONLY=1 env var).
+#[arg(long, global = true, env = "KEBAB_READONLY")]
+readonly: bool,
+
+/// Suppress all human-readable stderr output: progress lines, hints.
+/// Implied by `--json`.
+#[arg(long, global = true)]
+quiet: bool,
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Add `is_mutating` function**
+
+Add this free function near the bottom of `main.rs`, before `confirm_destructive`:
+
+```rust
+/// Returns `true` for subcommands that write to the KB. Used by the
+/// `--readonly` guard to reject mutating invocations.
+fn is_mutating(cmd: &Cmd) -> bool {
+    matches!(
+        cmd,
+        Cmd::Ingest { .. } | Cmd::IngestFile { .. } | Cmd::IngestStdin { .. } | Cmd::Reset { .. }
+    )
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Add readonly guard in main()**
+
+In `main()`, after the logging init block (after line ~299) and before the `match run(&cli)` call, insert:
+
+```rust
+if cli.readonly && is_mutating(&cli.command) {
+    let msg = "kebab: readonly mode — mutating commands are disabled";
+    if cli.json {
+        let v1 = kebab_app::ErrorV1 {
+            schema_version: kebab_app::ERROR_V1_ID.to_string(),
+            code: "readonly_mode".to_string(),
+            message: msg.to_string(),
+            details: serde_json::json!({}),
+            hint: Some(
+                "remove --readonly (or unset KEBAB_READONLY) to allow writes".to_string(),
+            ),
+        };
+        let v = wire::wire_error_v1(&v1);
+        eprintln!(
+            "{}",
+            serde_json::to_string(&v).unwrap_or_else(|_| msg.to_string())
+        );
+    } else {
+        eprintln!("{msg}");
+    }
+    return ExitCode::from(1);
+}
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Update from_flags call to pass quiet and KEBAB_PROGRESS env**
+
+Find the temporary stub from Task 2 Step 5 (inside `Cmd::Ingest` arm, line ~373):
+
+```rust
+let mode = progress::ProgressMode::from_flags(cli.json, false, false);
+```
+
+Replace with:
+
+```rust
+let plain_env = std::env::var("KEBAB_PROGRESS")
+    .map(|v| v.eq_ignore_ascii_case("plain"))
+    .unwrap_or(false);
+let mode = progress::ProgressMode::from_flags(cli.json, cli.quiet, plain_env);
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Build to verify no compile errors**
+
+```bash
+cargo build -p kebab-cli 2>&1 | tail -5
+```
+
+Expected: `Finished dev` with no errors.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Quick smoke — readonly blocks ingest**
+
+```bash
+# Build debug binary first if needed
+cargo build -p kebab-cli
+
+# Test: readonly should block ingest
+./target/debug/kebab --readonly ingest --root /tmp 2>&1; echo "exit: $?"
+```
+
+Expected: stderr shows `kebab: readonly mode — mutating commands are disabled`, exit code 1.
+
+```bash
+# Test: readonly allows search (no KB needed — just check it doesn't block early)
+./target/debug/kebab --readonly search "test" 2>&1 | head -3
+```
+
+Expected: error about not being initialized or similar — NOT a readonly error.
+
+- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add crates/kebab-cli/src/main.rs
+git commit -m "feat(fb-28): --readonly/--quiet global flags + KEBAB_READONLY env + is_mutating guard"

+## Task 6: Docs — HOTFIXES.md + task status + HANDOFF.md
+
+**Files:**
+- Modify: `tasks/HOTFIXES.md`
+- Modify: `tasks/p9/p9-fb-26-ingest-log-consistency.md`
+- Modify: `tasks/p9/p9-fb-28-agent-invocation-flags.md`
+- Modify: `tasks/INDEX.md`
+- Modify: `HANDOFF.md`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Add HOTFIXES entry**
+
+In `tasks/HOTFIXES.md`, find the existing entries and add a new dated entry. Append (or insert under the appropriate date):
+
+```markdown
+## 2026-05-07
+
+### fb-26: ingest log `Aborted` unconditional writeln + `Completed` TTY no summary
+
+- **File**: `crates/kebab-cli/src/progress.rs`
+- `Aborted` handler had an unconditional `writeln!` that fired in TTY mode too, duplicating output below `bar.abandon_with_message`. Fixed: guarded with `if !tty && !quiet`.
+- `Completed` TTY path called `bar.finish_and_clear()` with no subsequent summary line. Fixed: always emit `ingest: complete (...)` writeln when `!quiet`.
+- Added `KEBAB_PROGRESS=plain` env override to force non-TTY branch in CI pty wrappers.
+
+### fb-28: new error code `readonly_mode`
+
+- **File**: `crates/kebab-cli/src/main.rs`
+- `error.v1` `code: "readonly_mode"` added for `--readonly` / `KEBAB_READONLY=1` guard block. Constructed directly in `main()`, not via `classify()`.
+- Blocked subcommands: `ingest`, `ingest-file`, `ingest-stdin`, `reset`.
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Mark task specs as merged**
+
+In `tasks/p9/p9-fb-26-ingest-log-consistency.md`, change:
+
+```yaml
+status: open
+```
+
+to:
+
+```yaml
+status: merged

+
+```yaml
+status: open
+```
+
+to:
+
+```yaml
+status: merged
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Update tasks/INDEX.md**
+
+Find the rows for `p9-fb-26` and `p9-fb-28` in `tasks/INDEX.md` and mark them done (⏳ → ✅ or equivalent per the existing format in the file).
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Update HANDOFF.md**
+
+In `HANDOFF.md`, find the "머지 후 발견된 버그 / 결정 (요약)" section and add:
+
+```
+- fb-26: ingest log Aborted unconditional writeln (TTY dupe) + Completed TTY no summary fixed; KEBAB_PROGRESS=plain added
+- fb-28: --readonly (KEBAB_READONLY) blocks Ingest/IngestFile/IngestStdin/Reset; --quiet suppresses progress stderr; error.v1 code: "readonly_mode"
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Commit all docs**
+
+```bash
+git add tasks/HOTFIXES.md tasks/p9/p9-fb-26-ingest-log-consistency.md tasks/p9/p9-fb-28-agent-invocation-flags.md tasks/INDEX.md HANDOFF.md
+git commit -m "docs: mark fb-26 + fb-28 merged, HOTFIXES entry for readonly_mode + progress bugs"

+# p9-fb-25 — Config `workspace.include` 제거 + 지원 형식 가시성
+
+**Date**: 2026-05-05
+**Status**: planned
+**Audience**: kebab-config / kebab-app / kebab-cli / kebab-tui implementer.
+**Source feedback**: 사용자 도그푸딩 2026-05-05 — config 의 `workspace.include` + `workspace.exclude` 가 동시에 있으면 case 4 (둘 다 매치 안 함) 의미 모호 + 어차피 처리 가능 형식이 정해져 있으니 사용자에게 명시 필요.
+
+## Goal
+
+- `WorkspaceCfg.include` 필드 제거. dead config field 제거 + denylist-only 모델 정착.
+- 사용자가 ingest 결과에서 \*\*어떤 파일이 왜 skip 됐는지\*\* 즉시 파악.
+- 지원 형식 (md / png / jpg / pdf) 을 README + `kebab init` config 주석에 명시.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- include 의 enforce 로직 추가 (반대 방향).
+- 새 extractor (txt / docx / epub 등) 도입 — 별 spec.
+- `kebab doctor` 가 unsupported 파일 카운트 분석 — 별 task (간단 follow-up 가능).
+
+## Allowed dependencies
+
+- 기존 crate 만. 신규 crate 없음. 신규 SQLite migration 없음.
+
+## Storage 변경
+
+없음.
+
+## API / Wire 변경
+
+### `kebab-config::WorkspaceCfg`
+
+`include: Vec<String>` 필드 제거. `exclude: Vec<String>` 만 유지.
+
+backward-compat: serde default `deny_unknown_fields` 미사용이라 옛 config 의 `include = [...]` 은 silently deserialize 통과 + 무시. `Config::load` 가 옛 키 발견 시 `tracing::warn!` 로 deprecation 경고 emit (단발 — 같은 process 안에서 한 번만):
+
+```
+deprecated config: `workspace.include` 필드는 더 이상 사용되지 않습니다 (p9-fb-25). 처리 가능한 형식 (md / png / jpg / pdf) 은 extractor 가 자동 결정. 다음 버전부터 config 갱신 권장.
+```
+
+검출 방법: `Config::load` 가 raw TOML 파싱 후 `workspace` 테이블의 키 이름을 살펴 `include` 존재 여부 확인. `serde_ignored` crate 미도입 (YAGNI) — `toml::Value` 로 raw lookup 한 번.
+
+### `kebab-core::IngestItem.warnings`
+
+Skipped path 가 빈 `Vec` 대신 사유 한 줄 채움. 두 case:
+
+- media-type filter (extractor 미지원): `format!("unsupported media type: .{ext}")` (e.g. `"unsupported media type: .docx"`). extension 이 없으면 `"unsupported media type: <no-ext>"`.
+- `kb://` URI: `"kb:// URI not yet supported"`.
+
+### `kebab-core::IngestReport.skipped_by_extension`
+
+신규 필드:
+
+```rust
+pub skipped_by_extension: std::collections::BTreeMap<String, u32>,
+```
+
+key = lowercase extension without leading dot (`"docx"`, `"txt"`, `"epub"`). 확장자 없는 파일 = `"<no-ext>"` sentinel (꺾쇠로 일반 ext 와 시각 구분).
+
+`BTreeMap` 사용 — wire JSON 안에서 key 정렬 안정. `HashMap` 은 매 직렬화마다 순서 바뀌어 diff / snapshot 테스트 noisy.
+
+`AggregateCounts` 도 동일 필드 추가 — TUI / CLI 가 in-flight 와 final 모두에서 일관 표시.
+
+### Wire schema `ingest_report.v1`
+
+`skipped_by_extension` 필드 additive 추가:
+
+```json
+"skipped_by_extension": {
+  "type": "object",
+  "additionalProperties": {
+    "type": "integer",
+    "minimum": 0
+  },
+  "description": "p9-fb-25: per-extension skip count. Key = lowercase extension without leading dot (e.g. 'docx'). Files without extension key under '<no-ext>'."
+}
+```
+
+CLAUDE.md 의 release 규약 (additive minor) 에 따라 release bump 트리거 안 됨.
+
+## TUI / CLI 노출
+
+### CLI summary
+
+기존:
+
+```
+✓ ingest: 100 docs (5 new, 3 updated, 2 unchanged, 90 skipped), 142 chunks indexed in 12s
+```
+
+변경 (skipped > 0 + breakdown 있을 때만 괄호 안):
+
+```
+✓ ingest: 100 docs (5 new, 3 updated, 2 unchanged, 90 skipped: 80 docx, 5 txt, 5 epub), 142 chunks indexed in 12s
+```
+
+extension 카운트 desc 정렬 (큰 거 먼저). 모두 표시 (top-3 제한 없음). Line 길어질 우려가 있으나 사용자 원함 — line wrap 은 terminal 책임.
+
+### TUI
+
+`kebab-tui::ingest_progress::status_line` 의 final / aborted 라인 동일 포맷. in-flight 진행 중에는 breakdown 표시 안 함 (idx 진행 중 계속 변동, 불필요 noise).
+
+## 사용자 안내 (docs)
+
+### README
+
+`kebab ingest` row 의 cell 끝에 추가:
+
+```
+**지원 형식** (extractor 자동 결정): Markdown (`.md`) / 이미지 (`.png`, `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, OCR + caption) / PDF (`.pdf`). 다른 확장자는 자동 skip — `--json` / TUI 의 `IngestItem.warnings` 에 사유 (`unsupported media type: .docx` 등). 카운트 분류는 `IngestReport.skipped_by_extension`.
+```
+
+### `kebab init` config.toml 주석
+
+`[workspace]` section 위에 주석 추가:
+
+```toml
+# [workspace] — 색인 대상 디렉토리 + denylist.
+#
+# 지원 형식 (extractor 가 자동 결정 — config 에 명시할 수 없음):
+#   - Markdown: .md
+#   - 이미지:   .png .jpg .jpeg (OCR + caption)
+#   - PDF:      .pdf
+#
+# 다른 확장자는 ingest 시 자동 skip + warning. 처리 대상 폴더의
+# 일부만 ingest 하고 싶으면 `kebab ingest <path>` 로 root 명시
+# 또는 `.kebabignore` 파일 / 본 `exclude` 로 denylist.
+[workspace]
+root = "..."
+exclude = [...]
+```
+
+## Tests
+
+### 신규 단위
+
+- `kebab-config`: `Config::load` 가 옛 `include = [...]` 발견 시 warning emit + 정상 deserialize. snapshot test (in-memory string TOML).
+- `kebab-core`: `IngestItem` JSON serde — `warnings` 가 `["unsupported media type: .docx"]` round-trip.
+- `kebab-core`: `IngestReport.skipped_by_extension` JSON serde — `BTreeMap` 정렬 stable.
+
+### 신규 통합
+
+- `kebab-app`: 다양한 확장자 mix (`.md`, `.docx`, `.txt`, no-ext 파일) workspace 에서 ingest → `report.skipped_by_extension == {"docx": 1, "txt": 1, "<no-ext>": 1}` + 각 skipped 의 `warnings` 채워짐.
+- `kebab-tui`: `status_line` 가 `90 skipped: 80 docx, 5 txt, 5 epub` 형식.
+- `kebab-cli`: `kebab ingest --json` 출력에 `skipped_by_extension` 필드.
+
+### 기존 영향
+
+- 기존 `IngestReport` 구성 site (테스트 fixture 등) 가 새 필드 default 로 채움 (`BTreeMap::new()`).
+- `WorkspaceCfg` 의 `include` 필드 제거로 컴파일 에러 → 매 site 정리 (기존 default 가 `vec!["**/*.md"]` 였으니 모두 제거).
+
+## Spec contract impact
+
+- design §6.2 의 `workspace.include` 항목 invalidate. frozen spec 그대로 두고 본 spec + HOTFIXES `2026-05-05 — p9-fb-25` 가 source of truth.
+- design §3.x `IngestReport` 에 `skipped_by_extension` 필드 추가 (additive).
+- design §2.4a `IngestEvent::AssetFinished` 에 새로 emit 되는 warnings 의미 추가 (variant 변경 없음, content 풍부화).
+
+## Risks / notes
+
+- **옛 config 가 `include = ["**/*.md"]` 같은 narrow 한 allowlist** 면 본 변경 후 그 이상의 확장자 (예: 파일 추가된 `.png`) 가 자동 ingest 시작. 사용자 의도와 어긋날 수 있음. 완화: deprecation warning 의 문구가 \"처리 가능 형식 자동 결정\" 명시 → 사용자가 alarm 받음. + README 변경. 경계 case 라 design accepted.
+- **`skipped_by_extension` 용량**: workspace 가 1만 파일이면 dict size 작음 (extension 종류는 보통 < 50). wire 영향 무시.
+- **deprecation warning 단발 vs every-load**: `Config::load` 가 매 CLI 호출마다 발생. 단발 (`std::sync::Once`) 이 깔끔. 본 spec 은 단발 채택.
+- **release 트리거**: wire schema additive + serde backward-compat → CLAUDE.md release 규약 의 minor 트리거에 해당 안 됨 (additive 만으로 release 안 찍음). 사용자 explicit 도그푸딩 요청 시 bump.
+
+## Live deviations
+
+추후 발견되는 deviation 은 `tasks/HOTFIXES.md` `2026-05-05 — p9-fb-25` 항목에 기록.
