- #66733: \[Bug\]: Built-in skills missing from wheel
- PR #52113: fix(packaging): ship bundled skills in the wheel via setup.py data_files
- PR #68310: fix(packaging): ship bundled skills in wheel by unifying data-files in setup.py (#66733)

Multiple bug reports and fix attempts address two related packaging gaps: the minisweagent_path.py module and bundled/built-in skills are not included in the distributed wheel. Various approaches via pyproject.toml and setup.py data_files are proposed.

## TL;DR

- 11 member(s): 1 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 2 open PR(s), 1 merged PR(s), 6 PR(s) closed without merging.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `partially_resolved` · deciding PR(s): `pr-2098`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_PARTIAL`): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
- Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
- Pairwise link density `0.17`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.
