+**`/gsd-fast` now appends Quick Task rows to STATE.md again** — the log_to_state column-count guard used an off-by-one awk formula (`NF-1`) that was always one too high, so the schema gate rejected the very table quick.md creates and silently skipped the STATE.md update. Also now supports the 6-column validate-mode table. (#2133)

+ * #2133 — fast.md log_to_state schema gate is unreachable.
+ *
+ * PR #85 added a column-count guard to fast.md's log_to_state step that used
+ * `awk -F'|' '{print NF-1}'`. A markdown table header has both a leading and a
+ * trailing pipe, so NF counts (real columns + 2) and NF-1 is always one too
+ * high. The `-eq 5` test could therefore never hold for the 5-column header
+ * quick.md writes, so /gsd-fast has never appended a Quick Task row since #85.
+ *
+ * This test does what the removed prose-regex test (bug-3805-*) did not: it
+ * EXTRACTS the actual bash block deployed in fast.md and EXECUTES it against
+ * real STATE.md fixtures, asserting on the filesystem result (row appended,
+ * cell count aligned with header). It fails on the NF-1 bug and passes once
+ * the count uses NF-2 and both 5/6-column schemas are accepted.
