## Summary
Two changes:
1. **`OS`/`OS_VERSION` manual-run dropdowns** — give these form variables explicit `options:` lists (like `target_arch` and `R_VERSION`), so the manual-run form shows dropdowns instead of free-text, in both `build-all-versions.yaml` and `build-all-versions-install-deps.yaml`. Crow form variables are independent (no cascading), so the operator still has to pick a coherent `OS` + `OS_VERSION` combination (e.g. `redhat` + `9`, not `alpine` + `jammy`).
2. **Repairs `main`** — the crow fix from PR #96 (`bc2f6f1`) was lost when that PR was squashed (only the first commit was captured). As a result `main` currently carries the `OS: ${OS}` env vars that break Crow parsing (`unable to parse variable name`) and the unfixed `build-all.R`. This PR re-applies that fix: drop the env additions and derive `platform`/`arch` inside `build-all.R` from the container (bincraft codename → platform mapping + `Sys.info()` arch).
## Notes
- `OS_VERSION` options are quoted strings so tags like `8`/`9`/`10` aren't parsed as integers.
- Validated: both YAMLs parse, `build-all.R` parses.

## Summary
`build-all.R` reads three snapshot files from `/mnt/cache/packages/` that the `build-all-versions-install-deps` step precomputes: `pkgs_to_build.rds`, `r_minor_sensitive_pkgs.rds`, and `s3_cache.rds`.
That cache volume is **per-agent**, so a build job scheduled on a different (fresh) agent than the one that ran install-deps finds the snapshot absent and dies at `readRDS` (`cannot open compressed file '/mnt/cache/packages/pkgs_to_build.rds'`).
This adds a conditional guard at the top of `build-all.R`: when any of the three files is missing, it sources `local/packages-to-build.R` (which has all needed creds via `PGPASS` / `B2_S3_*` env, already present in the build step) and writes the derived `.rds` files — exactly mirroring the install-deps command.
- The first build job on a fresh agent repopulates the shared cache, so subsequent jobs on that agent reuse it.
- Concurrent jobs that also miss simply redo the work (accepted tradeoff vs. slow shared storage like NFS).
- Saves use a temp-file + atomic `file.rename`, so a concurrent reader never sees a half-written `.rds`.

## Summary
When a `build-all-*` workflow is restarted, the build job re-reads the static `pkgs_to_build.rds` that the install-deps step produced once, so it cycles over every package an interrupted run already built. This adds a DB-based skip filter so a restart only processes what is genuinely left.
- At job start, `build-all.R` queries the `single_builds` metadata table for `(name, tag)` already built successfully (`error_occurred = FALSE`) on this `platform`/`arch`, and drops those pairs from the chunk before the build loop. It logs how many it skipped.
- One indexed query, one round trip, run before the pak forks — no extra S3 listing and no new Python/s3fs memory pressure (`RPostgres`/`DBI` are already used in the container).
- Errored versions are intentionally **not** skipped, so transient failures still get retried on restart.
## Dependency
Correctness depends on a `error_occurred = FALSE` row meaning the binary is actually published. That guarantee is added in rpkgs/bincraft#56 (success row written only after a confirmed S3 upload). This PR should land together with / after a bincraft release including that fix.

## Summary
Builds R-minor-sensitive CRAN packages once per installed R minor version (into per-minor S3 slots `…/contrib/<x.y>/`) and everything else once into the generic slot, driven by bincraft 4.2.0's ABI classifier. Both the full and iterative pipelines are covered.
## What's in here
**Detection / precompute**
- `local/r-minor-helpers.R` — pure `classify_from_metadata()` (NeedsCompilation / risky `LinkingTo`) + `parse_build_args()`, with unit tests.
- `local/packages-to-build.R` — adds a per-package `r_minor_sensitive` flag: cheap CRAN-metadata rules first, source download + `bincraft::needs_per_minor_recompile()` only for the ambiguous compiled subset (fail-safe to sensitive). Classified once per package, applied to all versions.
**Full build**
- `local/build-all.R` — passes the per-row `is_r_minor_sensitive` flag; new `--sensitive-only` mode builds just the risky subset.
- `.crow/build-all-versions-{amd64,arm64}.yaml` — install-deps persists the sensitive subset; build step runs a sensitive-only pass under each non-primary `/opt/R/*` minor; new step uploads the generic index plus a per-minor index for each minor.
**Iterative build**
- All 14 `.crow/process-updates-*.yaml` — primary pass uses `r_minor_detection = 'classifier'`; a sensitive-only multi-R pass builds risky updates under each other minor; per-minor index upload added.
**Tooling / housekeeping**
- Pins bincraft `v4.1.1` → `v4.2.0` across all workflows; removes the superseded standalone `build-r-minor-sensitive-packages.yaml`.
- Adds prek/pre-commit hooks (prettier, markdownlint, editorconfig-checker, yamllint, air) and applies them repo-wide; excludes the verbatim GPL `LICENSE.md` and auxiliary shell scripts.
- Design + implementation docs under `docs/superpowers/`.
## Requires before merge
- A `v4.2.0` git tag must be pushed on the bincraft repo (codefloe.com/rpkgs/bincraft) — the workflow install steps pin `@v4.2.0`. The full-build install-deps clones `main`, so it is unaffected.

## Summary
`local/build-all.R` had a 75-name hardcoded `exclude <- c(...)` vector that had drifted from `local/excluded-packages.json` — `RcmdrPlugin.ROC` was in the R vector but missing from the JSON.
`.crow/weekly-rebuild-missing-*.yaml` already reads the JSON via `jsonlite::fromJSON(...)[["package"]]`. This brings `build-all.R` in line with that pattern.
Changes:
- **`local/excluded-packages.json`**: add the missing `RcmdrPlugin.ROC` entry (reason `"hang"`, matching siblings).
- **`local/build-all.R`**: replace the 16-line hardcoded vector with one `jsonlite::fromJSON(...)` call.
- **`.crow/build-all-versions-install-deps-{amd,arm}64.yaml`**: add `jsonlite` to the install-deps `pak::pak()` list so it's available in `/mnt/cache/R-pkgs` for the build step.
- **`.crow/build-all-versions-arm64.yaml`**: drop the dead base64-encoded `SKIP_PKGS` docs comment that nobody was passing as a `--var` anyway; replace with a one-line pointer to the JSON.

s3fs uses reticulate/Python which significantly increases R process memory.
When pak tries to fork R to install package dependencies, the enlarged
process can't be duplicated within the container memory limit.
Now the install-deps step saves the S3 file listing as s3_cache.rds,
and the build step reads it with readRDS() — no s3fs loading needed.
- Load bincraft eagerly via library() to avoid lazy-load memory spike
- Do bulk S3 listing upfront and pass as s3_package_cache to avoid
per-package S3 calls that accumulate memory and trigger fork failures
- Consolidate amd64/arm64 exclude lists into single script
- Much easier to read and maintain than a YAML-embedded one-liner
