What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Register and repair the durable cheese hallouminate corpus and the per-repo tenant. Use when the user says "set up cheese corpus", "repair hallouminate corpus", "register durable corpus", "my specs aren't searchable across sessions", "fix cheese-global drift", or invokes /easy-cheese-setup. Runs a detect → report → confirm → fix loop over two legs — a global durable-corpus registration/repair and a local per-repo tenant registration. Do NOT use for general hallouminate wiki authoring (that is the wiki skills) or for MCP server installation (that is scripts/install.sh).

/easy-cheese-setup

Register the durable cheese-durable hallouminate corpus (so every project's XDG specs/research are semantically searchable across sessions) and, when asked, register the current repo as a hallouminate tenant. Idempotent and non-destructive: it detects, reports with evidence, asks before mutating, then fixes.

The engine ships as a self-contained bundle at scripts/easy-cheese-setup.pyz, with three --apply-gated subcommands (default is dry-run / report-only):

python3 <skill>/scripts/easy-cheese-setup.pyz global [--apply]   # durable-corpus registration/repair
python3 <skill>/scripts/easy-cheese-setup.pyz local  [--apply]   # per-repo tenant registration
python3 <skill>/scripts/easy-cheese-setup.pyz doctor [--apply]   # both legs

install.sh calls global --apply once at install time (guarded on hallouminate ∈ --mcp). This skill drives the interactive path.

Flow

Run doctor (no --apply) first — it reports both legs' intended actions without touching anything. Show the report as evidence, confirm with the user, then apply the legs they approve.

Global leg — durable corpus

Ensures paths.corpus_home() exists on disk (guards hallouminate's abort-on-missing-path, hallouminate#101), then insert-or-replaces the marked # >>> easy-cheese:cheese-durable … # <<< [[corpus]] block in ~/.config/hallouminate/config.toml, pointing at corpus_home(). Replace-in-place keeps it idempotent — a second global --apply leaves the file byte-identical.
Repoints on drift: if the marked block points anywhere other than corpus_home(), --apply corrects it.
Legacy migration (interactive only). A pre-existing unmarked cheese-global → ~/.cheese block is the stale state this work fixes. migrate_legacy removes it so the durable corpus collapses onto the marked cheese-durable block. It is deliberately NOT a CLI subcommand and NOT part of install.sh's path — so the installer can never delete a user's config non-interactively. Invoke it here only after the user confirms the reported legacy block:
```
python3 -c "import sys; sys.path.insert(0, '<skill>/scripts/easy-cheese-setup.pyz'); \
  import hallouminate_setup as h; print(h.migrate_legacy(apply=True))"
```
A cheese-global block pointing anywhere other than ~/.cheese is left untouched.

Local leg — repo tenant

Iff the repo has .cheese/ artifacts and is not already a hallouminate tenant, runs hallouminate init-repo <name> --path <main-root>.
Registers the main repo root, never a worktree — in a Conductor/worktree checkout this avoids stomping the tenant identity onto a throwaway worktree path.

Rules

Detect and report before mutating; every mutating leg is --apply-gated and confirmed.
One source of truth for the durable root: the engine imports paths.corpus_home() — never hardcode ~/.cheese or an XDG path.
Non-destructive by default: install.sh touches only the marked block; legacy-block removal is interactive-only.
