${VAR:-{}} appends a stray } when VAR is set, corrupting the JSON passed to a caller skill's setup.sh → its jq fails (Unmatched }) → the skill is skipped. This is why node1-ssh never installed. Fixed in install-caller-skills.sh (+ the companion homelab setup.sh).

agents: fix ${SECRETS_JSON:-{}} brace bug that silently skipped caller skills e0ef954454

`${VAR:-{}}` appends a stray '}' when VAR is set (bash brace-matching), so the
JSON handed to a caller skill's setup.sh was corrupted and its jq failed with
"Unmatched '}'" — install-caller-skills.sh then caught the non-zero exit and
skipped the skill. Default SECRETS_JSON in two safe steps and pass it as a plain
var. This is why node1-ssh never installed.
