 ## 7. Sync repoint + runner wiring + inventory report
 
-- [ ] 7.1 Repoint `api/skill_sync.py`'s concrete client at the Cloud API per-host sync endpoint (host-scoped bearer; `since_version` incremental; full-replace on first/stale); keep the `SubscriptionClient` Protocol / `SyncDelta` shape. The agent's "subscription_id" becomes its host identifier.

 - [ ] 7.2 Construct and start `SkillSyncRunner` in the host-agent app bootstrap behind the existing cloud-transport configuration; configurable poll interval; failures non-fatal (preserve cache + record error).

+- [x] 7.3 On a sync `removed_ids` entry that has a local override, trigger the fork (D9) via `LocalSkillStore.fork_override_to_local`.
 - [ ] 7.4 Add a periodic best-effort local-skill inventory report from the agent to the Cloud inventory endpoint (metadata only).
 - [ ] 7.5 Tests: incremental apply, full-replace, fork-on-revocation end-to-end, runner lifecycle, inventory report payload + failure-isolation.
