## Summary
- stop publicly re-exporting the internally used
`SKILLS_INTRO_WITH_ALIASES` constant
- keep the constant and all skills rendering behavior unchanged
- preserve every integration helper, API, fixture, assertion, and module
used by tests
## Scope guardrails
This revision keeps all remote/network-facing functionality and every
line introduced by `jif <jif@openai.com>`.
Following the test-preservation audit, it also restores the in-process
RMCP test transport, the original `codex-mcp` fixture,
`PluginLoadOutcome::effective_skill_roots` and its assertions, the
`EffectiveSkillRoots` API family, the test-only apps renderer, and the
TUI dead-code annotation. Those files now match the PR base exactly.
No test imports or directly references the remaining public skills
export being narrowed.
## Validation
- repository-wide test-reference audit: no test-used code remains
deleted or narrowed
- deleted-line `git blame` audit: zero Jif-authored deletions
- `cargo test -p codex-core-plugins -p codex-mcp -p codex-rmcp-client
--lib`: 467 passed
- `cargo test -p codex-core --lib apps::render`: 2 passed
- `cargo test -p codex-core-skills --lib render::tests`: 19 passed
- `cargo check -p codex-core-skills --all-targets`: passed
- `just fix -p codex-core-skills`: passed
- `just fmt`: passed
- `git diff --check`: passed
The full local `codex-core-skills` suite passed 106/108 tests; two
loader tests detected an ambient repository skills root outside the
package and failed their isolation assertions. The scoped renderer suite
and all-target compile pass, and CI runs in an isolated environment.
Final code delta: 1 insertion, 2 deletions across 2 files.
