Review: Create goose-custom repo with symlink architecture (re-review)

Verdict: APPROVED

Previous Findings Resolution

• [x] Removed profiles.yaml and permission.yaml from file targets -- Goose v1.27.2 only uses config.yaml
• [x] Secret management addressed -- config.yaml is Salt-managed, goose-custom tracks config.yaml.example (structure only, secrets redacted)
• [x] Skills claim corrected -- issue now correctly states Goose uses extensions configured in config.yaml, not claude-custom skills
• [x] AC #3 fixed -- now references GOOSE.md symlink, no profiles.yaml
• [x] Directory structure reconciled -- target structure matches Goose's actual config layout (config.yaml.example, GOOSE.md, recipes/, extensions/, docs/, salt/)
• [x] [SCOPE] arch-personal-assistant note created -- exists in pal-e-docs with correct stack description

Template Completeness

• [x] Type -- Feature
• [x] Lineage -- Standalone, Sprint 2 planning
• [x] Repo -- ldraney/goose-custom (to be created)
• [x] User Story -- well-formed, matches groq-pivot story
• [x] Context -- detailed, includes Salt management strategy and Goose extension model
• [x] File Targets -- 5 files, all new in new repo, accurate to Goose config
• [x] Feature Flag -- none (appropriate for config repo scaffolding)
• [x] Acceptance Criteria -- 7 items, all agent-verifiable
• [x] Test Expectations -- 2 items (manual, appropriate for scaffolding)
• [x] Constraints -- 4 constraints, accurate to Goose's extension model
• [x] Checklist -- present
• [x] Related -- present, references dependencies

Traceability

• [x] story:groq-pivot label -- verified on project-personal-assistant user-stories section: "I can use Groq API as the primary inference backend for Goose"
• [x] story note verified -- groq-pivot entry exists in project-personal-assistant user-stories table
• [x] arch:personal-assistant label -- present on board item
• [x] arch note verified -- arch-personal-assistant note exists in pal-e-docs (Goose CLI + Groq API stack, Salt config, repos list)
• [x] Forgejo issue -- ldraney/personal-assistant#26, open

File Targets

• [x] README.md -- new file in new repo, setup guide and symlink instructions
• [x] .gitignore -- new file, excludes rendered configs with secrets
• [x] config.yaml.example -- template with structure shown, secrets redacted (not the live config)
• [x] GOOSE.md -- global context file, Goose equivalent of CLAUDE.md
• [x] docs/setup.md -- detailed setup guide with Salt integration notes
