Pi 中已存在同名但内容不同的 Skill，拒绝覆盖或删除: {directory}

Error message

Pi 中已存在同名但内容不同的 Skill，拒绝覆盖或删除: {directory}

What it means

inspect_pi_skill_destination found the destination path inside Pi's skills directory already occupied, and the occupant is provably not ours: it is not a symlink resolving to the SSOT source, and it is not a byte-identical copy (deployment hash differs). The service refuses to overwrite or delete content it cannot verify it owns — a data-loss guard for the Pi app directory.

Solutions

1. Open Pi's skills directory, back up the conflicting same-named folder, then remove or rename it, and retry the install/sync
2. If the Pi-side content is the one you want to keep, copy it back into the SSOT directory first so hashes align
3. Avoid hand-editing skills inside Pi's directory; edit the SSOT copy and re-sync

try {
  await invoke('install_skill_unified', payload);
} catch (e) {
  const msg = String(e);
  if (msg.includes('Pi 中已存在同名但内容不同的 Skill')) {
    notify('A different skill with this name exists in Pi — back it up and remove it from Pi\'s skills dir, then retry');
    return;
  }
  throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: User manually installed a same-named skill into Pi's skills folder; Pi (or another tool) modified the deployed copy so its hash no longer matches the SSOT source; switching sync methods (copy vs symlink) with diverged content; leftover Pi deployment from a removed SSOT skill.

Common situations: Power users managing Pi's skills directory by hand; Pi upgrading/rewriting skill files in place; machines migrated with only the Pi directory copied.
