The DELETE /api/skills/{skill_id} handler resolves the caller, loads the
skill with skills_manager.load(owner=user), and verifies ownership with
_verify_owner(match, user) — but then calls
skills_manager.delete_skill(match.get("name")) without the owner.
SkillsManager.delete_skill filters candidates with
`(sk.owner or "") != (owner or "")`, so when owner is None an owner-scoped
skill is skipped and the method returns False. The route then raises a
spurious 404 "Skill not found" — meaning a logged-in user can never delete
their own skills through the API.
Pass the resolved owner through to delete_skill so the skill is matched and
removed.
tests/test_skills_delete_owner.py drops a real owner-scoped SKILL.md on disk
and (1) checks the manager directly: delete_skill without owner returns
False (regression lock) while delete_skill(owner="alice") returns True and
removes the dir; (2) drives the real DELETE route handler and asserts it
returns {"ok": True} and deletes the file. The route test fails before this
change (404). Real SkillsManager + real filesystem, no mocking.
read_skill_md and read_skill_reference walk all skill files via
_iter_skill_files and return the first match by slug, regardless
of owner. In a multi-user deployment where two users have skills
with the same slug under different categories, a caller scoped
to owner='alice' can read Bob's skill content.
This is the same cross-tenant leak class as the update_skill /
delete_skill fix (PR #755, merged), but on the read path.
Changes:
- read_skill_md / read_skill_reference accept owner= param (default
None = match ownerless only, matching the write-path convention).
- 7 callers updated: tool_implementations.py (view, view_ref, patch),
builtin_actions.py (test_skills), skills_routes.py (audit, source,
test routes).
- Tests: read scoping (alice reads hers, not bob's), positive update
scoping (alice can mutate her own), ownerless-match default.
