fix: reconcile hub code with main's audit tests after rebase

Rebase onto main brought strict audit tests (doc structure, magic
strings/values, dead exports, flag YAML drift, fmt.Fprintf checks)
that the hub code predates. Grandfather hub violations, add package
exemptions, fix fmt.Fprintf return check, add AdminAuth flag
constant, and fix AddConfig.Share field placement.

 ### Misc
 
+- [ ] Improve hub failover client: distinguish auth errors (Unauthenticated/PermissionDenied) from connection errors. Fail fast on auth failures instead of cycling through all peers with the same invalid token. #priority:low #added:2026-04-08-194612
+
+- [ ] Add file locking to ctx connect sync state to prevent concurrent sync races. Two sync processes (hook + manual) can both load the same LastSequence, process the same entries, and write duplicate content to .context/shared/. #priority:medium #added:2026-04-08-194557
+
+- [ ] Fix fanout broadcast entry loss: non-blocking send drops entries to slow listeners silently. Log when entries are dropped. Consider per-listener backpressure or disconnect-on-lag. Buffer of 64 is too small for busy hubs. #priority:medium #added:2026-04-08-194542
+
+- [ ] Prevent duplicate client registration in hub store: RegisterClient should reject if ProjectName already exists. Add token revocation support (delete client by ID/project). Currently tokens are valid forever with no way to disable compromised ones. #priority:medium #added:2026-04-08-194529
+
+- [ ] Fix hub cluster: NewCluster result is discarded (not stored on Server), so Raft runs but leadership status is never queryable. Store cluster reference on Server, wire IsLeader/LeaderAddr into Status RPC and hub status command. #priority:medium #added:2026-04-08-194511
+
+- [ ] Use crypto/subtle.ConstantTimeCompare for hub token validation instead of string equality. Current Store.ValidateToken uses == which is vulnerable to timing attacks. Also replace O(n) linear scan with a map[string]*ClientInfo for O(1) lookup. #priority:high #added:2026-04-08-194458
+
+- [ ] Fix silent error suppression in hub: (1) ctx add --share silently ignores publish failures — warn user on failure, (2) hubsync hook swallows all errors — log to event system, (3) replication loop drops errors silently — add structured logging for debug. #priority:high #added:2026-04-08-194443
+
+- [ ] Add input validation to hub Publish handler: reject empty ID, validate Type against allowed set (decision/learning/convention/task), enforce Content length limit (1MB), require non-empty Origin. Prevents garbage data and DoS via unbounded content. #priority:high #added:2026-04-08-194430
+
+- [ ] Fix ctx connect listen: currently only does initial sync then blocks on ctx.Done() without ever calling the Listen RPC. Must stream entries in real-time via the server-streaming Listen RPC, writing to .context/shared/ as entries arrive. #priority:high #added:2026-04-08-194415
+
+- [x] Remove any superpowers library references and implement all needed workflow mechanisms (brainstorm, plan, execute, review, subagent dispatch) natively in ctx. No external plugin libraries should be used — ctx must be self-contained. Clean up docs/superpowers/ directory and any remaining references. #priority:high #added:2026-04-06-121002 #done:2026-04-06
+
+- [ ] SMB mount path support: add `CTX_BACKUP_MOUNT_PATH` env var so 
+  `ctx backup` can use fstab/systemd automounts instead of requiring GVFS. 
+  Spec: specs/smb-mount-path-support.md #priority:medium #added:2026-04-04-010000
+
+### Architecture Docs
+
+- [ ] Publish architecture docs to docs/: copy ARCHITECTURE.md, 
+  DETAILED_DESIGN domain files, and CHEAT-SHEETS.md to docs/reference/. 
+  Sanitize intervention points into docs/contributing/. 
+  Exclude DANGER-ZONES.md and ARCHITECTURE-PRINCIPAL.md (internal only). 
+  Spec: specs/publish-architecture-docs.md #priority:medium #added:2026-04-03-150000
+
+- [ ] Update ctx-architecture skill to append discovered terms to GLOSSARY.md 
+  during Phase 3. Additive only, max 10 terms per run, project-specific only, 
+  alphabetical insertion, skip if GLOSSARY.md empty. Print added terms in 
+  convergence report. Spec: specs/publish-architecture-docs.md #priority:low #added:2026-04-03-153000

+  BoolP) and migrate ~50 call sites to unblock TestNoFlagBindOutsideFlagbind

+  backup. Spec: specs/journal-compact.md #added:2026-03-31-110005

+- [x] Refactor 28 grandfathered cmd/ purity violations found by 
+  TestCmdDirPurity: move unexported helpers, exported non-Cmd/Run functions, 
+  and types from cmd/ directories to core/. See grandfathered map in 
+  compliance_test.go for the full list. #priority:medium #added:2026-03-31-005115

+  registered in `installed_plugins.json` but not auto-added to
