* enhance(#4406): the lazily-read remainder and the artifact templates ADR-4139 Decision 3, Phase 6 of the #4139 Compact Content epic. Covers stream 1b (gsd-core/workflows/<name>/{modes,steps,templates}/*.md) and stream 4 (gsd-core/templates/**) with a variant-swap mechanism, confirmed with the user: two independent, complete files per covered path (canonical + .compact.md sibling), with the gate picking which one gets Read at the call site. This is a different shape from Phase 5's spine+detail partition, and is safe here specifically because these files are already reached only by a runtime Read — a missed Read already means zero overlay content today, with or without workflow.compact_content, so selecting between two independently-complete files introduces no new failure mode (documented in gsd-core/references/compact-content-gate.md's new "Streams 1b and 4" section). Disposition, after inspecting every candidate rather than trusting a byte-size threshold (same rigor Phase 5 applied to review.md): - Stream 1b: 1 of 78 files compacted (help/modes/full.md, a user-facing reference doc emitted verbatim, not orchestrator instruction). The other 9 size-threshold candidates are dominated by fail-closed guards, exact CLI invocations, or output-format contracts (AskUserQuestion blocks) — recorded not-worth-compacting, same reasoning as Phase 5's review.md. - Stream 4: a ground-truth reachability audit replaced the initial size-only candidate list. Two files (summary.md, user-setup.md) got compact variants; a third (spec.md) was drafted, then dropped after discovering its only two call sites are eager @-includes, not a runtime Read — stream-1 material hiding under gsd-core/templates/, not stream-4's actual mechanism. summary.md itself has 3 eager call sites and only 1 genuine runtime-Read call site (execute-plan.md); only that one was wired, so the compact variant's savings apply to the sequential single-plan execution path only. - Discovered while auditing reachability: 12 gsd-core/templates/** files with zero references anywhere in workflow/agent/command prose, compiled source, or tests — dead scaffolding predating this phase. Deleted in this same PR per this repo's no-defer policy, after re-verifying against a computed path.join(...) pattern (not just a plain-string search) that nearly caused two genuinely load-bearing templates (user-profile.md, dev-preferences.md) to be misclassified as dead. New checker (tests/helpers/compact-content-variant.cjs): registration, reachability, protected-content-preserved, size-smaller — replacing Phase 3/5's disjointness/completeness checks, which assume a partition rather than two deliberately-overlapping documents. The reachability check's own "unprefixed match" guard had a real bug (rejected the repo's own `~/.claude/gsd-core/...` convention), caught by running it against the already-wired help/modes/full.compact.md pair rather than only synthetic fixtures — fixed to anchor on the nearest `gsd-core` path segment instead. Template consumer parity (tests/compact-content-template-variant-parity.test.cjs): proves each compact variant's `## File Template` fenced block — the actual output-format contract a generated SUMMARY.md/USER-SETUP.md is parsed against — is byte-identical to the canonical file, then runs the one real deterministic consumer (gsd-core/bin/lib/coverage.cjs's classifyContent, backing `gsd-tools uat classify-coverage`) against content built from that shared contract. Added a sibling benchmark script (scripts/benchmark-compact-content-variants.cjs) rather than extending the existing spine/detail one — different data shape, and the existing script's own contract deliberately isolates it from a test-only helper's shape changing. Emitted-drift acknowledgement: not needed. Every changed/added path in this diff is hand-authored and present in the diff itself, so diffEmitted's attribution loop resolves `via` to the path's own source before reaching the ack-lookup branch (same reasoning Phase 5 verified for its own diff). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * enhance(#4406): address code-review findings on the variant-swap gate - docs/CONFIGURATION.md and gsd-core/references/planning-config.md's workflow.compact_content entries described only the spine+detail mechanism (Phase 5) and were missing this phase's variant-swap mechanism and its benchmark:compact-content-variants script entirely — required since this PR's changeset is type Added (CLAUDE.md's "Missing Docs for Changesets" rule). Both now describe both mechanisms and which call sites are wired. - Added the missing RED^-1/no-op fixture for checkProtectedContentPreserved: a canonical file with zero <!-- gsd:protected --> blocks must be a no-op, not a violation — the only branch of that function the existing fixtures didn't exercise. - Collapsed findCompactFiles/findMarkdownFiles in tests/helpers/compact-content-variant.cjs into one findFilesWithSuffix helper — the two were identical recursive walks differing only in the extension predicate (minor Duplicated-Code finding). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#4406): restore copilot-instructions.md, a false-positive dead-template classification gsd-test caught this, not static analysis: 10 real failures in tests/copilot-install.test.cjs, tests/installer-migration-install.integration.test.cjs, and tests/repo-layout.test.cjs — all downstream of bin/install.js's Copilot install path, which does fs.readFileSync(path.join(targetDir, 'gsd-core', 'templates', 'copilot-instructions.md')) after copying gsd-core/templates/** into the target project, then merges it into both .github/copilot-instructions.md and (local installs) AGENTS.md. The reachability audit that flagged this file as dead checked src/*.cts and gsd-core/bin/*.cjs but never the repo-root bin/install.js — a separately maintained installer bundle outside the src/-to-gsd-core/bin/lib/ compiled-output convention. The fs.existsSync guard around that read degrades to a silent skip rather than a crash when the template is missing, which is why this surfaced only once the real E2E install test ran, not from any static check. Re-verified the remaining 11 deleted filenames against bin/install.js specifically (plain substring and quoted-filename search) before trusting that list — all 11 have zero hits there, confirmed dead by the same standard this one file failed. Regenerated the installer emitted-tree goldens (tests/fixtures/install-tree/*.json) to reflect the restored file, and corrected the "Removed" changeset (jolly-lynx-sprint.md) and the phase design doc from 12 to 11 deleted files. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: execute-plan.md — call-site wiring for the summary.md and user-setup.md .compact.md variants Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: help.md — call-site wiring for full.compact.md, same variant-resolution rule * docs(#4406): backfill changeset PR numbers Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#4406): resolve removed-but-needed lint findings on the dead-template deletion CI's own full-test matrix (not gsd-test's matrix, which does not run this check) caught 4 more false-positive dead-template classifications via tests/removed-but-needed-lint.test.cjs / scripts/lint-removed-but-needed.cjs — a literal, word-boundary basename check across .github/workflows/, gsd-core/, and docs/ (excluding docs/adr/** and docs/research/**) for every file a PR deletes. It has no semantic awareness, so a deleted template's basename colliding with something else entirely still fires: - claude-md.md: gsd-core/templates/README.md had a stale table row claiming /gsd-profile reads this template to generate CLAUDE.md. Verified false (no code reads it anywhere, same search that already covered bin/install.js) — fixed the row to *(inline)*, matching every other command-generated artifact in that table. File stays deleted. - codebase/testing.md: collided with docs/guides/testing.md, an illustrative example row in docs-update.md's sample output table (an unrelated real generated-docs path). Swapped the example topic to "contributing" — the row is illustrative, any topic works. File stays deleted. - codebase/architecture.md, codebase/stack.md: collided with docs/reference/ planning-artifacts.md's directory listing of a user's own generated .planning/codebase/architecture.md and stack.md output — the same semantic mismatch already investigated and dismissed as unrelated earlier in this phase's audit, now caught by a gate instead of judgment. That listing repeats across 5 locale copies of the doc. - continue-here.md: collided with the real .continue-here.md pause-work artifact, referenced across 15+ locale and workflow files. For the last two, the lint's own error message offers "restore the file or update every consumer in the same commit." Rewording 15+ files across languages I cannot verify translation quality for, to shave 2 already-tiny templates that were merely presumed dead, is disproportionate to this PR's actual scope — restored codebase/architecture.md, codebase/stack.md, and continue-here.md instead, and corrected docs/ARCHITECTURE.md's Templates section accordingly. Final confirmed-dead set: claude-md.md, codebase/concerns.md, codebase/conventions.md, codebase/integrations.md, codebase/structure.md, codebase/testing.md, debug-subagent-prompt.md, discovery.md — 8 files, down from the original 12. Verified locally: GSD_REMOVED_BUT_NEEDED_BASE=next node scripts/lint-removed-but-needed.cjs now passes clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: docs-update.md — swapped an illustrative example-table topic (testing -> contributing) to avoid a removed-but-needed basename collision with the deleted codebase/testing.md template; net +10 bytes * fix(#4406): split codex-config.test.cjs to fix a genuine Windows CI timeout Root cause of the `full test (windows-latest, 24, shard 2/3)` failure the user asked to be actually fixed, not just re-run past: PR #4497 (landed 2026-09-07, one day before this PR's CI run) isolated tests/codex-config.test.cjs into its own dedicated chunk because its measured weight (17.87, ~45% of the post-cut Windows budget) made it unsafe to share a chunk with any other file. That isolation was necessary but not sufficient — even alone, with zero companion-file contention, the file's real Windows execution time sits right at the 600s per-chunk ceiling. Two independent CI runs on two unrelated PRs (this one and #4154) were both killed within ~1.4s of the identical 600000ms mark — not random contention, a deterministic near-miss the isolation fix couldn't address because it never reduced the file's own cost, only removed the risk of a companion file's cost stacking on top of it (which the PR #4497 comment explicitly anticipated: "if a future profiling pass genuinely speeds up codex-config.test.cjs itself, this isolation can be revisited"). The file itself explains why it's this heavy: 11,262 lines / 433 tests / 79 describe blocks, accumulated over dozens of bug-fix PRs (#2695, #2760, #3245, #3285, #3346, #3426, #3427, #3562, #3566, #3582, #3808, and more), several of which are explicitly documented as "folded" in from separate files that were never actually split back out ("Verified non-duplicate against both the pre-existing target and the other three folded sources"). Split into 4 files by top-level AST statement boundaries (never a naive column-0 regex — an early attempt at that overcounted 79 apparent "describe(" matches when only 21 are genuinely top-level; the rest are nested inside a handful of large folded-in blocks, which a regex can't tell apart from real top-level statements). Verified lossless twice: the split script asserts byte-for-byte reconstruction of every source character, and independently, total test()/describe() call counts match exactly between the original file and the sum across all 4 new files (433/79 both sides). Each new file carries the complete original shared header (imports/helpers) for safety; per-file unused-import warnings from that duplication are resolved via ESLint-precise alias renames (`{ foo: _foo }`, the standard form for an intentionally-unused destructured binding — never a bare `{ _foo }`, which would destructure a different, nonexistent property). No change needed to scripts/run-tests.cjs's ISOLATED_HEAVY_FILES or its pinned test in tests/run-tests-harness.test.cjs: the file that keeps the original name (tests/codex-config.test.cjs) is now only ~28% of the original's size and safely isolated in its own chunk as before; the other three new files re-enter normal weight-balanced packing, none individually close to disproportionate. Confirmed no other file hardcodes the hardcoded filename anywhere that would silently stop these tests from running (the CI test-selection scripts determine scope algorithmically, not by literal filename).

| `workflow.text_mode` | boolean | `false` | Replaces AskUserQuestion TUI menus with plain-text numbered lists. Required for Claude Code remote sessions (`/rc` mode) where TUI menus don't render. Can also be set per-session with `--text` flag on discuss-phase. Added in v1.28 |
|
||||
| `workflow.use_worktrees` | boolean | `true` | When `false`, disables git worktree isolation for parallel execution. Users who prefer sequential execution or whose environment does not support worktrees can disable this. Added in v1.31. **Branch-divergence note:** when your branch has diverged from `origin/HEAD`, GSD auto-degrades to sequential and prints a warning. See [`worktree.baseRef`](#worktree-settings) to restore parallel execution on a diverged branch. **Per-runtime note:** whether this key can be honored depends on the runtime's declared `dispatch.isolation` capability, not on its name (#2584). Runtimes whose own harness isolates each executor (**Claude Code**, **Cursor**) run parallel worktrees natively; runtimes exposing a headless exec with an explicit working directory (**Codex**, **OpenCode**, **Kimi**, **Kimi Code**) get worktrees GSD itself creates and merges — where a dispatch site can only drive the harness model, those hosts degrade to sequential with a warning rather than aborting. Every other runtime declares no isolation primitive, and forcing `use_worktrees: true` there still fails closed before any executor dispatch. `/gsd-health` reports such a value as warning `W025` (#2486). **Default on a non-Claude install:** if a worktree-capable non-Claude host is not isolating as described above, check whether the install stamped this key's default to `false` and set an explicit `use_worktrees: true`. See [Executor isolation per runtime](#executor-isolation-per-runtime). |
|
||||
| `workflow.agent_hint_routing` | boolean | `true` | Per-plan specialist executor routing (#1689). When `true`, a plan whose `agent_hint:` frontmatter names a subagent that resolves on the active runtime is dispatched to that specialist instead of `gsd-executor`. Default `true` — a no-op for plans without `agent_hint:`, so existing dispatch is unchanged. Set `false` to disable. See [PLAN.md `agent_hint`](reference/plan-md.md#per-plan-executor-routing). |

||||
| `workflow.compact_content` | boolean | `false` | Compact content mode (#4139, [ADR-4139](adr/4139-compact-content-seam.md)). Per-project boolean selecting the terser form of GSD's own shipped prompt content (workflows, templates, agent-skill payloads). Six workflows branch on it today — `plan-phase` (#4402, the pilot), `execute-phase`, `docs-update`, `new-project`, `verify-work`, and `complete-milestone` (#4405) — each split into a spine plus a deferred `<workflow>/detail/*.md` elaboration: with the key off, the spine reads its own elaboration back in before continuing (byte-identical instruction set to before); with it on, that read is skipped. The remaining eagerly-`@`-included workflows were reviewed and recorded as not worth splitting (see `docs/PARTITION-RULES.md` § "Deciding whether a file is worth splitting") — either their size comes from safety-critical orchestration logic rather than deferrable narrative (`review.md`), or they're small enough that a split's fixed structural overhead would exceed the savings. The eager-window token reduction each split actually achieves is measured, not asserted: `npm run benchmark:compact-content` reports per-split and aggregate on/off token counts (a proxy-tokenizer delta — Anthropic publishes no tokenizer for Claude 3+, so the comparison is exact under a pinned tokenizer even though the absolute counts are not Claude's real ones) against a committed baseline (`tests/fixtures/compact-content-benchmark-baseline.json`, #4404). Reporting-only — it never fails CI. |

| `workflow.compact_content` | boolean | `false` | Compact content mode (#4139, [ADR-4139](adr/4139-compact-content-seam.md)). Per-project boolean selecting the terser form of GSD's own shipped prompt content (workflows, templates, agent-skill payloads). Two mechanisms exist, chosen per stream. **Spine + detail** (top-level, eagerly-`@`-included workflows): six workflows branch on it today — `plan-phase` (#4402, the pilot), `execute-phase`, `docs-update`, `new-project`, `verify-work`, and `complete-milestone` (#4405) — each split into a spine plus a deferred `<workflow>/detail/*.md` elaboration: with the key off, the spine reads its own elaboration back in before continuing (byte-identical instruction set to before); with it on, that read is skipped. The remaining eagerly-`@`-included workflows were reviewed and recorded as not worth splitting (see `docs/PARTITION-RULES.md` § "Deciding whether a file is worth splitting") — either their size comes from safety-critical orchestration logic rather than deferrable narrative (`review.md`), or they're small enough that a split's fixed structural overhead would exceed the savings. **Variant swap** (#4406 — lazily-`Read` workflow subdirectory files and `gsd-core/templates/**` planning-artifact templates, which have no eager window to shrink): a `.compact.md` sibling next to the canonical file, resolved at the point of the existing `Read` per `gsd-core/references/compact-content-gate.md` § "Streams 1b and 4". Three call sites are wired today — `help --full`'s reference doc (`gsd-core/workflows/help/modes/full.md`) and the sequential-execution `SUMMARY.md`/`USER-SETUP.md` template reads in `execute-plan.md` — after a per-candidate reachability audit found most other size-based candidates were either genuinely unreferenced (deleted), reached only through an eager `@`-include or orchestrator build-time embed (left unconverted, same reasoning as the eagerly-included workflows above), or consumed only by a test fixture or a parser's documented grammar rather than a runtime `Read`. The token reduction each mechanism actually achieves is measured, not asserted: `npm run benchmark:compact-content` (spine/detail) and `npm run benchmark:compact-content-variants` (variant-swap) each report per-item and aggregate on/off token counts (a proxy-tokenizer delta — Anthropic publishes no tokenizer for Claude 3+, so the comparison is exact under a pinned tokenizer even though the absolute counts are not Claude's real ones) against their own committed baseline (`tests/fixtures/compact-content-benchmark-baseline.json`, #4404; `tests/fixtures/compact-content-variant-benchmark-baseline.json`, #4406). Both are reporting-only — neither ever fails CI. |
|
||||
| `workflow.worktree_skip_hooks` | boolean | `false` | When `true`, executor agents in worktree mode pass `--no-verify` (skipping pre-commit hooks) and post-wave hook validation runs against the merged result instead. Opt-in escape hatch for projects whose hooks cannot run in agent worktrees. Default `false` runs hooks on every commit (#2924). |
|
||||
| `workflow.code_review` | boolean | `true` | Enable `/gsd-code-review` and `/gsd-code-review --fix` commands. When `false`, the commands exit with a configuration gate message. Added in v1.34 |
|
||||
| `workflow.code_review_point` | string | `execute:post` | Loop point at which the code-review capability's step registers: `execute:post` reviews once, after every wave in a phase has landed (default — unchanged behavior); `execute:wave:post` reviews once per completed wave instead, scoped to what changed since the phase's prior review (the whole phase's diff on the first wave, each subsequent wave's own diff thereafter). Manual `/gsd-code-review <phase>` invocation is unaffected by this key — it is gated by `workflow.code_review` alone and runs regardless of which point is configured. `/gsd-autonomous` and `/gsd-quick` have no wave granularity of their own, so setting this to `execute:wave:post` means code review does not run automatically inside those two flows (consistent with how every other `execute:wave:post`-only capability already behaves for them). Added in #3661 |
