chore(#604): rename get-shit-done/ runtime directory to gsd-core/ (#615)

* chore(#604): rename get-shit-done/ runtime directory to gsd-core/ Renames the installed runtime directory `get-shit-done/` to `gsd-core/` so the on-disk name matches the package (`@opengsd/gsd-core`), repo, and binary (`gsd-tools`). The npm package name and binary are unchanged; npx/npm consumers are unaffected. Mechanical (bulk, ~90% of the diff): - `git mv get-shit-done gsd-core` - Swept path/identifier references across the repo via `perl -pe 's/get-shit-done(?!-\w)/gsd-core/g'`. The negative lookahead preserves the five legitimate slug variants that are NOT the directory: get-shit-done-{OLD,cc,classic,cli,redux} (old package/repo names). - Build/manifest wiring: package.json (bin, files, coverage globs), tsconfig.build.json (outDir), ~86 .gitignore build-output entries, stryker.config.mjs, scan-ignore files, install.js path strings. - Frozen (not rewritten): CHANGELOG.md history; translated docs (README.<locale>.md and docs/{ja-JP,ko-KR,pt-BR,zh-CN}/). New logic (review here): - src/installer-migrations/003-rename-get-shit-done-to-gsd-core.cts: a proper ADR-0008 installer migration. On upgrade it walks the legacy `~/.claude/get-shit-done/` tree, classifies each file via the prior install manifest, and emits remove-managed / backup-and-remove for managed files while PRESERVING unknown user-added files. Symlink-safe (skips a symlinked root and symlinked entries; bounds-checks every path under configDir). The framework rolls back on install failure. Emptied dirs may remain (framework has no recursive dir-removal primitive) — documented. - scripts/lint-legacy-dir-name.cjs: CI regression guard forbidding the bare `get-shit-done` directory token (split token to avoid self-match; case- insensitive; `(?!-\w)` lookahead allows the slug variants; allowlists CHANGELOG, translated docs, and `gsd-allow-legacy-name` marker lines). Wired into the lint-tests CI job. - Restored scripts/lint-package-identity-drift.cjs detection regexes (the mechanical sweep had wrongly rewritten the old-name patterns it exists to detect) and marked them as intentional legacy references. - TDD tests for the migration and the guard; do.md slash-command guard regex tightened so a `/gsd-core/bin` path segment is not mistaken for a command; changeset + docs/installer-migrations.md row added. Breaking: the installed runtime path moves `~/.claude/get-shit-done/` -> `~/.claude/gsd-core/`. Migration 003 removes the stale legacy dir's managed files (preserving user files) on upgrade. Users with custom hooks/configs hardcoding the old path must update them. Closes #604 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#604): unsweep pending changesets + allowlist injection-example docs CI fixes for the rename PR: - Do not sweep pending .changeset/*.md (ephemeral release-note fragments, like CHANGELOG); reverted those body edits so 5 pre-existing malformed fragments (missing type/pr) no longer enter the PR diff and trip docs-lint. Allowlisted .changeset/ in the legacy-name guard accordingly. - Allowlisted TEST-EXAMPLES.md and docs/explanation/security-model.md in prompt-injection-scan.sh: they contain intentional injection examples / security-model prose; the path-reference rewrites are kept. CodeQL alerts on this PR are pre-existing (alert lines unchanged by this PR; none in the new migration/guard) and are out of scope for the rename. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#604): resolve CodeQL alerts surfaced on this PR The rename diff touched files carrying pre-existing CodeQL findings; per the no-pre-existing-dismissal rule, fixing every surfaced alert rather than waving them off. All behavior-preserving: - scripts/ci-test-scope.cjs: build the config-path match from string .includes() instead of a RegExp over an arg-derived value (js/regex-injection). - src/profile-output.cts: escape backslashes before pipe-escaping desc/safeName so the table-cell escape is complete (js/incomplete-sanitization). - tests/{bug-2643,bug-2808,docs-parity-live-registry}: two-pass HTML-comment strip so a bare/unclosed `/g,'')` can let ` replace), so loop fixes do not satisfy it. Made these paths regex-free: - ci-test-scope.cjs splitFiles: char-by-char separator tokenizer (no /[,\\s]+/). - 3 test files: indexOf/slice HTML-comment stripper (no .replace(/<!--/)). Behavior preserved; ci-test-scope + the 3 suites pass; guard clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#604): unblock security base64 scan on the large rename diff The security job hit its 10m timeout: base64-scan.sh choked on the binary test fixture tests/feat-3594-parser-property-style.test.cjs (embedded NUL/ non-UTF8 bytes -> thousands of bogus blobs + "ignored null byte" warnings), and the ~800-file rename diff is slow to scan regardless. - scripts/base64-scan.sh: skip binary-by-content files (grep -Iq .) — they can't carry base64-obfuscated *text* and feeding NUL bytes through the per-line scanner is pathologically slow. collect_files already filtered binary *extensions*; this catches binary *content* in text extensions. - .github/workflows/security-scan.yml: raise the security job timeout 10m->30m to accommodate very large diffs (the scan itself is unchanged). Verified locally: scan skips the fixture, 0 "ignored null byte" warnings, 0 findings, exit 0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#604): sweep get-shit-done refs introduced by merging next The branch was updated with next (#614/#384/#618 etc.), which reference the get-shit-done/ dir (still named that on next). Swept the stale references in the merged files to gsd-core so the rename stays consistent and lint:legacy-name passes: - commands/gsd/discuss-phase.md (runtime-launcher shim paths) - src/core.cts (getAgentsDir layout comments) - tests/bug-384-agents-runtime-aware.test.cjs (require path to runtime lib) Verified: guard 0 violations; build green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#604): exclude gsd-core/ path segments from bug-3683 command cross-ref invariant The #614 runtime-launcher shim added to discuss-phase.md references `${_GSD_RUNTIME_ROOT}/gsd-core/bin/...`. bug-3683's REF_PATTERN excluded path-y refs only via lookbehind, but `}` precedes `/gsd-core/` in the shim, so it mis-read the directory path as a dangling `/gsd-core` command ref (same class as the #604 bug-2954 fix). Added a trailing `(?![\w-]*\/)` so `/gsd-<x>/...` path segments are not treated as slash-command references. Verified locally on BOTH platforms before pushing: - mac (node 26) full suite: 0 failures - gsd-test-runner (linux, node22 image) full suite: 0 failures - bug-3683 + bug-2954 pass. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#604): lazily resolve findProjectRoot in gsd-tools (harden flaky CI) CI intermittently failed state.test's gsd-tools subprocess with "findProjectRoot is not a function" (flip-flopping across legs; not reproducible on mac full suite, gsd-test linux full suite, test:unit, or state.test x8). findProjectRoot is a re-export from core.cjs (sourced from project-root.cjs); binding it via destructure at module-load can be undefined under a load-ordering edge. Resolve it lazily at call time via a small wrapper so the lookup happens after core.cjs is fully initialized. Verified green on BOTH platforms before pushing: - mac (node 26) full suite: 0 failures - gsd-test-runner (linux, node22) full suite: 0 failures - state.test.cjs: 106/106; gsd-tools loads cleanly. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#604): allowlist verification-patterns.md placeholder examples in secret scan The rename git-mv'd references/verification-patterns.md into gsd-core/, pulling it into the secret-scan diff. It documents stub/placeholder RED-FLAG env-var examples (illustrative Stripe test-key / database-URL / API-key placeholders) — not real credentials. Added it to .secretscanignore with the strict annotation, mirroring the existing gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase.md exception. Verified locally: secret-scan-lint --strict OK; secret-scan --diff origin/next exits 0 with 0 findings.

+<purpose>
+Spike an idea through experiential exploration — build focused experiments to feel the pieces
+of a future app, validate feasibility, and produce verified knowledge for the real build.
+Saves artifacts to `.planning/spikes/`. Companion to `/gsd:spike --wrap-up`.
+
+Supports two modes:
+- **Idea mode** (default) — user describes an idea to spike
+- **Frontier mode** — no argument or "frontier" / "what should I spike?" — analyzes existing spike landscape and proposes integration and frontier spikes
+</purpose>
+
+<required_reading>

+
+### Load the Spike Landscape
+
+If no `.planning/spikes/` directory exists, tell the user there's nothing to analyze and offer to start fresh with an idea instead.
+
+Otherwise, load in this order:
+
+**a. MANIFEST.md** — the overall idea, requirements, and spike table with verdicts.
+
+**b. Findings skills** — glob `./.claude/skills/spike-findings-*/SKILL.md` and read any that exist, plus their `references/*.md`. These contain curated knowledge from prior wrap-ups.
+
+**c. CONVENTIONS.md** — read `.planning/spikes/CONVENTIONS.md` if it exists. Established stack and patterns.
+
+**d. All spike READMEs** — read `.planning/spikes/*/README.md` for verdicts, results, investigation trails, and tags.
+
+### Analyze for Integration Spikes
+
+Review every pair and cluster of VALIDATED spikes. Look for:
+
+- **Shared resources:** Two spikes that both touch the same API, database, state, or data format but were tested independently.
+- **Data handoffs:** Spike A produces output that Spike B consumes. The formats were assumed compatible but never proven.
+- **Timing/ordering:** Spikes that work in isolation but have sequencing dependencies in the real flow.
+- **Resource contention:** Spikes that individually work but may compete for connections, memory, rate limits, or tokens when combined.
+
+If integration risks exist, present them as concrete proposed spikes with names and Given/When/Then validation questions. If no meaningful integration risks exist, say so and skip this category.
+
+### Analyze for Frontier Spikes
+
+Think laterally about the overall idea from MANIFEST.md and what's been proven so far. Consider:
+
+- **Gaps in the vision:** Capabilities assumed but unproven.
+- **Discovered dependencies:** Findings that reveal new questions.
+- **Alternative approaches:** Different angles for PARTIAL or INVALIDATED spikes.
+- **Adjacent capabilities:** Things that would meaningfully improve the idea if feasible.
+- **Comparison opportunities:** Approaches that worked but felt heavy.
+
+Present frontier spikes as concrete proposals numbered from the highest existing spike number with Given/When/Then and risk ordering.
+
+### Get Alignment and Execute
+
+Present all integration and frontier candidates, then ask which to run. When the user picks spikes, write definitions into `.planning/spikes/MANIFEST.md` (appending to existing table) and proceed directly to building them starting at `research`.

+
+<step name="setup_directory">
+Create `.planning/spikes/` if it doesn't exist:
+

+<step name="detect_stack">
+Check for the project's tech stack to inform spike technology choices.

+```bash
+ls package.json pyproject.toml Cargo.toml go.mod 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+Use the project's language/framework by default. For greenfield projects with no conventions and no existing stack, pick whatever gets to a runnable result fastest.

+- Docker, containers, or infrastructure
+- Env files or config systems — hardcode everything

+
+**c. Manifest:** Read `.planning/spikes/MANIFEST.md` for the index of all spikes.
+
+**d. Related READMEs:** Based on the new idea, identify which prior spikes are related by matching tags, names, technologies, or domain overlap. Read only those `.planning/spikes/*/README.md` files. Skip unrelated ones.
+
+Cross-reference against this full body of prior work:
+- **Skip already-validated questions.** Note the prior spike number and move on.
+- **Build on prior findings.** Don't repeat failed approaches. Use their Research and Results sections.
+- **Reuse prior research.** Carry findings forward rather than re-researching.

+**If `QUICK_MODE` is true:** Skip decomposition and alignment. Take the user's idea as a single spike question. Assign it the next available number. Jump to `research`.

+| 002b | pdf-parse-camelot | comparison | Given a multi-page PDF, when parsed with camelot, then structured text is extractable | Medium |
+```
+
+**Spike types:**
+- **standard** — one approach answering one question
+- **comparison** — same question, different approaches. Shared number with letter suffix.
+
+Good spikes: specific feasibility questions with observable output.
+Bad spikes: too broad, no observable output, or just reading/planning.
+
+Order by risk — most likely to kill the idea runs first.

+
+This step runs **before each individual spike**, not once at the start.

+

+
+**Skip when unnecessary** for pure logic with no external dependencies.

+</step>
+
+<step name="reground">
+## Re-Ground Before Each Spike
+
+Before starting each spike (not just the first), re-read `.planning/spikes/MANIFEST.md` and `.planning/spikes/CONVENTIONS.md` to prevent drift within long sessions. Check the Requirements section — make sure the spike doesn't contradict any established requirements.
+</step>
+
+<step name="build_spikes">
+## Build Each Spike Sequentially
+
+**Depth over speed.** The goal is genuine understanding, not a quick verdict. Never declare VALIDATED after a single happy-path test. Follow surprising findings. Test edge cases. Document the investigation trail, not just the conclusion.
+
+**Comparison spikes** use shared number with letter suffix: `NNN-a-name` / `NNN-b-name`. Build back-to-back, then head-to-head comparison.
+
+### For Each Spike:
+
+**a.** Create `.planning/spikes/NNN-descriptive-name/`
+
+**b.** Default to giving the user something they can experience. The bias should be toward building a simple UI or interactive demo, not toward stdout that only Claude reads. The user wants to *feel* the spike working, not just be told it works.
+
+**The default is: build something the user can interact with.** This could be:
+- A simple HTML page that shows the result visually
+- A web UI with a button that triggers the action and shows the response
+- A page that displays data flowing through a pipeline
+- A minimal interface where the user can try different inputs and see outputs
+
+**Only fall back to stdout/CLI verification when the spike is genuinely about a fact, not a feeling:**
+- Pure data transformation where the answer is "yes it parses correctly"
+- Binary yes/no questions (does this API authenticate? does this library exist?)
+- Benchmark numbers (how fast is X? how much memory does Y use?)
+
+When in doubt, build the UI. It takes a few extra minutes but produces a spike the user can actually demo and feel confident about.
+
+**If the spike needs runtime observability,** build a forensic log layer:
+1. Event log array with ISO timestamps and category tags
+2. Export mechanism (server: GET endpoint, CLI: JSON file, browser: Export button)
+3. Log summary (event counts, duration, errors, metadata)
+4. Analysis helpers if volume warrants it
+
+**c.** Build the code. Start with simplest version, then deepen.
+
+**d.** Iterate when findings warrant it:
+- **Surprising surface?** Write a follow-up test that isolates and explores it.
+- **Answer feels shallow?** Probe edge cases — large inputs, concurrent requests, malformed data, network failures.
+- **Assumption wrong?** Adjust. Note the pivot in the README.
+
+Multiple files per spike are expected for complex questions (e.g., `test-basic.js`, `test-edge-cases.js`, `benchmark.js`).
+
+**e.** Write `README.md` with YAML frontmatter:
+
+```markdown
+---
+spike: NNN
+name: descriptive-name
+type: standard
+validates: "Given [precondition], when [action], then [expected outcome]"
+verdict: PENDING
+related: []

+## Results
+[Verdict, evidence, surprises, log analysis findings.]
+```
+
+**f.** Auto-link related spikes silently.
+
+**g.** Run and verify:
+- Self-verifiable: run, iterate if findings warrant deeper investigation, update verdict
+- Needs human judgment: present checkpoint box:
