feat(sdk): golden parity harness and query handler CJS alignment (#2302 Track A) (#2341)

* feat(sdk): golden parity harness and query handler CJS alignment (#2302 Track A)

Golden/read-only parity tests and registry alignment, query handler fixes
(check-completion, state-mutation, commit, validate, summary, etc.), and
WAITING.json dual-write for .gsd/.planning readers.

Refs gsd-build/get-shit-done#2341

* fix(sdk): getMilestoneInfo matches GSD ROADMAP (🟡, last bold, STATE fallback)

- Recognize in-flight 🟡 milestone bullets like 🚧.
- Derive from last **vX.Y Title** before ## Phases when emoji absent.
- Fall back to STATE.md milestone when ROADMAP is missing; use last bare vX.Y
  in cleaned text instead of first (avoids v1.0 from shipped list).
- Fixes init.execute-phase milestone_version and buildStateFrontmatter after
  state.begin-phase (syncStateFrontmatter).

* feat(sdk): phase list, plan task structure, requirements extract handlers

- Register phase.list-plans, phase.list-artifacts, plan.task-structure,
  requirements.extract-from-plans (SDK-only; golden-policy exceptions).
- Add unit tests; document in QUERY-HANDLERS.md.
- writeProfile: honor --output, render dimensions, return profile_path and dimensions_scored.

* feat(sdk): centralize getGsdAgentsDir in query helpers

Extract agent directory resolution to helpers (GSD_AGENTS_DIR, primary
~/.claude/agents, legacy path). Use from init and docs-init init bundles.

docs(15): add 15-CONTEXT for autonomous phase-15 run.

* feat(sdk): query CLI CJS fallback and session correlation

- createRegistry(eventStream, sessionId) threads correlation into mutation events
- gsd-sdk query falls back to gsd-tools.cjs when no native handler matches
  (disable with GSD_QUERY_FALLBACK=off); stderr bridge warnings
- Export createRegistry from @gsd-build/sdk; add sdk/README.md
- Update QUERY-HANDLERS.md and registry module docs for fallback + sessionId
- Agents: prefer node dist/cli.js query over cat/grep for STATE and plans

* fix(sdk): init phase_found parity, docs-init agents path, state field extract

- Normalize findPhase not-found to null before roadmap fallback (matches findPhaseInternal)

- docs-init: use detectRuntime + resolveAgentsDir for checkAgentsInstalled

- state.cjs stateExtractField: horizontal whitespace only after colon (YAML progress guard)

- Tests: commit_docs default true; config-get golden uses temp config; golden integration green

Refs: #2302

* refactor(sdk): share SessionJsonlRecord in profile-extract-messages

CodeRabbit nit: dedupe JSONL record shape for isGenuineUserMessage and streamExtractMessages.

* fix(sdk): address CodeRabbit major threads (paths, gates, audit, verify)

- Resolve @file: and CLI JSON indirection relative to projectDir; guard empty normalized query command

- plan.task-structure + intel extract/patch-meta: resolvePathUnderProject containment

- check.config-gates: safe string booleans; plan_checker alias precedence over plan_check default

- state.validate/sync: phaseTokenMatches + comparePhaseNum ordering

- verify.schema-drift: token match phase dirs; files_modified from parsed frontmatter

- audit-open: has_scan_errors, unreadable rows, human report when scans fail

- requirements PLANNED key PLAN for root PLAN.md; gsd-tools timeout note

- ingest-docs: repo-root path containment; classifier output slug-hash

Golden parity test strips has_scan_errors until CJS adds field.

* fix: Resolve CodeRabbit security and quality findings
- Secure intel.ts and cli.ts against path traversal
- Catch and validate git add status in commit.ts
- Expand roadmap milestone marker extraction
- Fix parsing array-of-objects in frontmatter YAML
- Fix unhandled config evaluations
- Improve coverage test parity mapping

* test: raise planner character extraction limit to 48K

* fix(sdk): resolve TS build error in docs-init passing config

+# Handover: Query layer + golden parity
+
+Use this document at the start of a new session so work continues in context without re-deriving history.
+
+**Related:** `HANDOVER-PARITY-DOCS.md` (#2302 scope); **`sdk/src/query/QUERY-HANDLERS.md`** (golden matrix, CJS↔SDK routing).
+
+---
+
+## Goal for the next session (primary)
+
+**Track A (Golden/parity) is complete.** 127/128 canonicals covered — the single exception (`phases.archive`) is permanent (SDK-only, no CJS analogue). Focus shifts to the remaining #2302 acceptance criteria.
+
+**Ongoing:** pick next gap from **`GOLDEN_PARITY_EXCEPTIONS`** / registry orphans (run `golden-policy.test.ts`) or expand **`READ_ONLY_JSON_PARITY_ROWS`** for read-only handlers still on generic exceptions. The read-only batch in **§ Next batch** below is **done**.
+
+**Follow-up:** confirm **`GOLDEN_PARITY_EXCEPTIONS`** for any remaining read-only registry gaps (`learnings.query`, `progress.bar`, `profile-questionnaire` — still exception-only until strict rows); extend **`read-only-golden-rows.ts`** when aligned.
+
+### Remaining work — ordered by priority
+
+1. **Track C — Runner alignment** (not started)
+   - `PhaseRunner` and `InitRunner` both take `GSDTools` (subprocess bridge) as a `tools` dependency (`phase-runner.ts:55`, `init-runner.ts:70`).
+   - Issue #2302 says: "Align programmatic paths with the same contracts as query handlers (shared helpers or registry dispatch), **without** removing `GSDTools`."
+   - Concretely: where runners currently shell out via `GSDTools.run('state update …')`, they could call the typed handler (`stateUpdate()`) directly or dispatch through `createRegistry()`. This eliminates subprocess overhead on the hot path while keeping `GSDTools` exported for backward compatibility.
+   - Files to touch: `sdk/src/phase-runner.ts`, `sdk/src/init-runner.ts`, `sdk/src/index.ts` (re-exports). Tests: `phase-runner.integration.test.ts`, `init-e2e.integration.test.ts`, `lifecycle-e2e.integration.test.ts`.
+   - **Risk:** Runner integration tests are slow and sensitive to state. Approach: swap one `tools.run()` call at a time, verify the integration test still passes, then proceed to the next.
+
+2. **Track B — CHANGELOG.md [Unreleased] entries** (not started)
+   - `CHANGELOG.md` has an `[Unreleased]` section but no Phase 3 entries yet.
+   - Add entries covering: golden parity policy gate, mutation subprocess infrastructure, handler alignment, profile-output port, CJS deprecation header.
+   - `docs/CLI-TOOLS.md` already references `QUERY-HANDLERS.md` and SDK query layer — may need minor polish but is substantively done.
+   - `QUERY-HANDLERS.md` is maintained and current.
+
+3. **Track D — CJS deprecation headers** (done)
+   - `gsd-tools.cjs` already has `@deprecated` JSDoc header (lines 3-6) pointing to `gsd-sdk query` and `@gsd-build/sdk`.
+   - No additional CJS file deletion in scope per #2302.
+
+4. **CI verification** (should run before any PR)
+   - Run full integration suite: `npx vitest run --project integration` (mutation subprocess + read-only parity + golden composition).
+   - Verify against CI matrix expectations: Ubuntu + macOS, Node 22 + 24.

+## Golden parity architecture (current)
+
+| Piece | Role |
+| ----- | ---- |
+| `sdk/src/golden/registry-canonical-commands.ts` | One canonical dispatch string per unique handler (`pickCanonicalCommandName`). |
+| `sdk/src/golden/golden-integration-covered.ts` | Canonicals exercised by **`golden.integration.test.ts`** (subset/full/shape tests). |
+| `sdk/src/golden/read-only-golden-rows.ts` | **Strict** `JsonParityRow[]` for `read-only-parity.integration.test.ts` (`toEqual` on parsed CJS JSON vs `sdkResult.data`). |
+| `sdk/src/golden/read-only-parity.integration.test.ts` | Rows from `READ_ONLY_JSON_PARITY_ROWS` + **`config-path`** (plain stdout vs `{ path }`, `path.normalize`) + **`verify.commits`**. |
+| `sdk/src/golden/capture.ts` | `captureGsdToolsOutput` (JSON stdout); **`captureGsdToolsStdout`** (raw stdout, e.g. `config-path`). |
+| `sdk/src/golden/golden-policy.ts` | `GOLDEN_PARITY_INTEGRATION_COVERED` = integration ∪ `readOnlyGoldenCanonicals()` ∪ **`GOLDEN_MUTATION_SUBPROCESS_COVERED`**; `GOLDEN_PARITY_EXCEPTIONS` includes `NO_CJS_SUBPROCESS_REASON`, then `MUTATION_DEFERRED_REASON` for remaining mutations, else read-only. |
+| `sdk/src/golden/golden-mutation-covered.ts` | Canonicals exercised by **`mutation-subprocess.integration.test.ts`** (must match non-skipped tests). |
+| `sdk/src/golden/mutation-subprocess.integration.test.ts` | Tmp fixture + `captureGsdToolsOutput` vs `registry.dispatch`; dual sandbox per comparison. |
+| `sdk/src/golden/mutation-sandbox.ts` | `createMutationSandbox({ git?: boolean })` — copy fixture, optional `git init` + commit. |
+| `sdk/src/golden/golden-policy.test.ts` | Calls `verifyGoldenPolicyComplete()` so every canonical is covered or excepted. |
+
+**Invariant:** Every canonical from `getCanonicalRegistryCommands()` is either in `GOLDEN_PARITY_INTEGRATION_COVERED` or has an exception string—**never** leave orphans by removing tests.
+
+---
+
+## Reference pattern: porting like `scan-sessions` and `workstream.status`
+
+These were fixed by **aligning the TypeScript handler with the CJS implementation**, then adding a row to `READ_ONLY_JSON_PARITY_ROWS`.
+
+1. **Find the CJS source of truth**  
+   - `scan-sessions`: `get-shit-done/bin/lib/profile-pipeline.cjs` → `cmdScanSessions`  
+   - `workstream status`: `get-shit-done/bin/lib/workstream.cjs` → `cmdWorkstreamStatus`  
+   - `gsd-tools.cjs` `runCommand` switch shows the top-level command and argv.
+
+2. **Implement or adjust the SDK module**  
+   - Example: `sdk/src/query/profile-scan-sessions.ts` mirrors the project-array build from `cmdScanSessions`; `scanSessions` in `profile.ts` parses `--path` / `--verbose`, throws when no sessions root (same error text as CJS), returns `{ data: projects }` where `projects` matches CJS JSON array.
+
+3. **Add a parity row** in `read-only-golden-rows.ts` with `canonical`, `sdkArgs`, `cjs`, `cjsArgs` (must match what `execFile(node, [gsdToolsPath, command, ...args])` expects).
+
+4. **Run**  
+   `cd sdk && npm run build && npx vitest run src/golden/read-only-parity.integration.test.ts src/golden/golden-policy.test.ts --project integration --project unit`
+
+5. **Policy**  
+   `readOnlyGoldenCanonicals()` picks up new canonicals automatically; no manual duplicate if the canonical is already in the JSON row list.
+
+**When not to copy line-for-line:** subprocess-only concerns (e.g. `agents_installed` / `missing_agents` differing from in-process `~` resolution). Then **normalize in the test** (see `golden.integration.test.ts` `docs-init`: sort `existing_docs`, omit install fields)—**document in QUERY-HANDLERS.md**, do not delete the assertion.
+

+## Completed — Track A (golden parity)
+
+All 127 portable canonicals have subprocess or in-process parity coverage. Summary of completed work by batch:
+
+### Profile-output + milestone subprocess batch (latest)
+
+**`write-profile`**, **`generate-claude-profile`**, **`generate-dev-preferences`**, **`generate-claude-md`** — implemented in **`sdk/src/query/profile-output.ts`** (templates from `get-shit-done/templates/`, same JSON as `profile-output.cjs`); re-exported from **`profile.ts`**. **`milestone.complete`** — full port of **`cmdMilestoneComplete`** in **`phase-lifecycle.ts`**; **`readModifyWriteStateMdFull`** in **`state-mutation.ts`** for STATE writes matching CJS.
+
+### Mutation subprocess infrastructure
+
+**`mutation-subprocess.integration.test.ts`** — tmp fixture `sdk/src/golden/fixtures/mutation-project/` + `createMutationSandbox()` (`mutation-sandbox.ts`). **`assertJsonParity`** runs CJS and SDK on **two fresh sandboxes** (factory fn) so neither run sees the other's filesystem mutations. **`GOLDEN_MUTATION_SUBPROCESS_COVERED`** lists canonicals with non-skipped subprocess assertions. Handlers covered: `config-ensure-section`, `commit`, `commitToSubrepo`, `configSetModelProfile`, `state.patch`, `frontmatter.set`/`merge`, `workstream.progress`, `workstream.set`, nine `state.*` subprocess tests, `write-profile`, `generate-claude-profile`, `generate-dev-preferences`, `generate-claude-md`, `milestone.complete`, `init.remove-workspace`.
+
+### CJS mutation handler alignment
+
+`commit.ts` — `--files` argv boundary, `commitToSubrepo` config check, `checkCommit` `allowed` field. `state-mutation.ts` — `readModifyWriteStateMdFull`, `statePlannedPhase`=`cmdStatePlannedPhase`, record-session/add-decision/add-blocker/resolve-blocker/record-metric/update-progress JSON shapes. `phase-lifecycle.ts` — `milestone.complete`. `workstream.ts` — `workstream.progress` (`cmdWorkstreamProgress`), `workstream.set`. `roadmap.ts` — extracted `roadmapUpdatePlanProgress` to own module. `frontmatter-mutation.ts` — `--field`/`--value`, `--data` parsing. `config-mutation.ts` — `configSetModelProfile` CJS-shaped `{ updated, profile, previousProfile, agentToModelMap }`. `config-query.ts` — `getAgentToModelMapForProfile()`.
+
+### Read-only parity rows (earlier batches)
+
+`progress.table` / `stats.table`, `progress.bar`, `learnings.query`, `profile-questionnaire`, `verify.references`, `init.*` composition goldens (9 handlers), `profile-sample`, `extract-messages`, `uat.render-checkpoint`, `validate.agents` + `state.get`, `skill-manifest`, `audit-open` + `audit-uat`, `intel.extract-exports`, `summary-extract` + `history-digest`, `stats.json`, `todo.match-phase`, `verify.key-links`, `verify.schema-drift`, `state-snapshot`, `state.json`/`state.load`, `scan-sessions`, `workstream.status`.

+**Suggested order:** Audit/read-only batch above is complete — follow-ups via **`GOLDEN_PARITY_EXCEPTIONS`** / new strict rows as needed (`learnings.query`, `progress.bar`, `profile-questionnaire`, etc.).
+
+**Done (this line of work):** `summary-extract` + `history-digest` — strict `READ_ONLY_JSON_PARITY_ROWS`; `summary.ts` aligned with `commands.cjs`; `extractFrontmatterLeading` in `frontmatter.ts` for first-`---`-block parity with `frontmatter.cjs`.
+
+**Done (profile-output + milestone mutation batch):** `write-profile`, `generate-claude-profile`, `generate-dev-preferences`, `generate-claude-md` (`profile-output.ts`); `milestone.complete` (`phase-lifecycle.ts` + `readModifyWriteStateMdFull`); `GOLDEN_MUTATION_SUBPROCESS_COVERED` updated; **`MUTATION_SUBPROCESS_GAP_REASON` removed** from `golden-policy.ts`.
+
+**Mutations** (`QUERY_MUTATION_COMMANDS`): subprocess coverage is **`mutation-subprocess.integration.test.ts`** + `GOLDEN_MUTATION_SUBPROCESS_COVERED`. Remaining mutation canonicals without a subprocess row use **`MUTATION_DEFERRED_REASON`** (see `golden-policy.ts`). For known gaps before parity, prefer **`it.skip`** with an explicit rationale in code comments or restore a dedicated gap map — do not rely on silent deferral alone.

+**Mutations:** Prefer tmp fixture + dual sandbox (see `mutation-sandbox.ts`). Do not green the suite by deleting subprocess tests; skip with **`it.skip`** and document the gap (policy entry or comment) until parity is restored.

+# Handover: Parity exceptions doc + CJS-only matrix (next session)
+
+**Status:** The deliverables described below are implemented in `sdk/src/query/QUERY-HANDLERS.md` (sections **Golden parity: coverage and exceptions** and **CJS command surface vs SDK registry**). Use that file as the canonical registry + parity reference; this handover remains useful for issue **#2302** scope and parent **#2007** links.
+
+Paste this document (or `@sdk/HANDOVER-PARITY-DOCS.md`) at the start of a new chat so work continues without re-auditing issue scope.
+
+## Goal for this session
+
+1. **Parity “exceptions” documentation** — A clear, maintainable description of where **full JSON equality** between `gsd-tools.cjs` and `createRegistry()` is **not** expected or not attempted, and why (stubs, structural-only tests, environment-dependent fields, ordering, etc.). Map this to **#2007 / #2302** expectations: no *undocumented* gap.
+2. **CJS-only matrix** — A **single authoritative table**: each relevant `gsd-tools.cjs` surface (top-level command or documented cluster) → **registered in SDK** vs **permanent CLI-only** vs **alias / naming difference**, with a **one-line justification** where not registered.
+
+## Parent tracking
+
+- **Issue:** [gsd-build/get-shit-done#2302](https://github.com/gsd-build/get-shit-done/issues/2302) — Phase 3 SDK query parity, registry, docs (parent umbrella #2007).
+- **Acceptance criteria touched here:** parity coverage/exceptions documented; registry audit reflected in a **matrix** (issue wording: “every required CJS surface either has a handler or appears in the CJS-only matrix with justification”).
+
+## Repo / branch
+
+- **Workspace:** `D:\Repos\get-shit-done` (PBR backport); adjust path if different machine.
+- **Feature branch (typical):** `feat/sdk-phase3-query-layer` — confirm with `git branch` before editing.
+- **Upstream:** `gsd-build/get-shit-done`.
+
+## What already exists (do not duplicate blindly)
+
+- `sdk/src/query/QUERY-HANDLERS.md` — Registry conventions, partial “not registered” list (**graphify**, **from-gsd2**), CLI name differences (**summary-extract** vs **summary.extract**, **scaffold** vs **phase.scaffold**), **intel.update** (CJS JSON parity; refresh via agent), **skill-manifest --write** / mutation events, **docs-init** golden note (agent install fields), **stateExtractField** rule.
+- `sdk/src/golden/golden.integration.test.ts` — Source of truth for **which commands** are golden-tested and **how** (full equality vs subset vs normalized `existing_docs` vs omitted fields; `init.quick` strips clock-derived keys via `init-golden-normalize.ts`).
+- `sdk/src/golden/capture.ts` — `captureGsdToolsOutput()` spawns `get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs`.
+- `docs/CLI-TOOLS.md` — User-facing CLI reference; should **link** to the parity exceptions + matrix (or host a short summary with pointer to `sdk/`).
+
+## Deliverables (suggested shape)
+
+### A) Parity exceptions section
+
+Add or extend a dedicated section (prefer `QUERY-HANDLERS.md` under a heading like **"Golden parity: coverage and exceptions"**, or a new `sdk/PARITY.md` if the team wants less churn in QUERY-HANDLERS — **pick one canonical location** and link from the other).
+
+Cover at least:
+
+
+| Category                      | Examples to document                                                                                                                  |
+| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Full JSON parity**          | Commands where tests use `toEqual` on `sdkResult.data` vs CJS stdout JSON.                                                            |
+| **Structural / field subset** | Tests that compare only selected keys (e.g. `frontmatter.get`, `find-phase` — SDK subset vs CJS). Full parity for `roadmap.analyze`, `init.*` (except `init.quick` volatile keys), etc. — see `QUERY-HANDLERS.md` matrix. |
+| **Normalized comparison**     | e.g. `docs-init`: `existing_docs` sorted by path; `agents_installed` / `missing_agents` omitted between subprocess vs in-process. |
+| **CLI parity without in-process refresh** | `intel.update` — JSON matches CJS `intel.cjs` (spawn hint or disabled); refresh is agent-driven.                                                                                    |
+| **Conditional behavior**      | `skill-manifest`: writes only with `--write`; not in `QUERY_MUTATION_COMMANDS`.                                                   |
+| **Environment / time**        | `current-timestamp`: structure and format, not same instant.                                                                      |
+| **Not in golden suite**       | Commands registered but not (yet) covered — list as **coverage gap** or **out of scope for golden** with rationale.                   |
+
+
+### B) CJS-only matrix
+
+Build the table by **diffing** `get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs` `switch (command)` top-level cases against `createRegistry()` registrations in `sdk/src/query/index.ts`.
+
+**Already documented as product-out-of-scope for registry:** **graphify**, **from-gsd2** / **gsd2-import**.
+
+**Already documented as naming/alias differences (registered, different string):** **summary-extract** ↔ **summary.extract**; top-level **scaffold** ↔ **phase.scaffold**.
+
+Matrix columns (suggested):
+
+- **CJS command** (or subcommand pattern)
+- **SDK dispatch name(s)** if any
+- **Disposition:** Registered / CLI-only / Alias-only / Stub / N/A
+- **Justification** (one line) if not a straight registered parity
+
+Optional: footnote that `detect-custom-files` skips multi-repo root resolution in CJS (`SKIP_ROOT_RESOLUTION`) — behavior is documented in CLI; matrix can mention if relevant.

+| --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `sdk/src/query/QUERY-HANDLERS.md` | Primary home for exceptions + matrix, or link hub.                |
+| `sdk/PARITY.md`                   | Optional dedicated file if QUERY-HANDLERS becomes too long.       |
+| `docs/CLI-TOOLS.md`               | Short “Parity & registry” subsection with links into `sdk/` docs. |
+| `sdk/HANDOVER-GOLDEN-PARITY.md`   | Optional one-line pointer to new parity doc section when done.    |
+
+
+## Out of scope for *this* handover session
+
+- Implementing runner alignment (`GSDTools` → registry) — separate #2302 work.
+- Adding `@deprecated` headers to `gsd-tools.cjs` — separate task.
+- **CHANGELOG** — only if you batch doc work with release notes in same PR (optional).
+
+## Verification
+
+- No code behavior change required for pure docs; run `npm run build` in `sdk/` only if TypeScript-adjacent files were touched.
+- Proofread: every **CLI-only** row has a **justification**; every **exception** in golden tests appears in the exceptions doc.
+
+## Success criteria
+
+- A reader can answer: **“Which commands are fully golden-parity vs partial vs stub vs untested?”** without reading the whole test file.
+- A reader can answer: **“Which `gsd-tools` top-level commands are not registered and why?”** from one table.
+- **#2302** acceptance bullets on parity documentation and registry matrix are satisfied for the **documentation** slice (remaining issue items may still be open for code).
+
+---
+
+*Created for handoff to “parity exceptions + CJS-only matrix” session. Update when the canonical doc location or golden coverage changes.*

+
+## What was delivered (this line of work)
+
+### 1. Parity documentation (`QUERY-HANDLERS.md`)
+
+- **”Golden parity: coverage and exceptions”** — How `golden.integration.test.ts` compares SDK vs `gsd-tools.cjs` (full `toEqual`, subset, normalized `docs-init`, `intel.update` CJS parity, time-dependent fields, etc.).
+- **”CJS command surface vs SDK registry”** — Naming aliases, CLI-only rows, SDK-only rows, and a **top-level `gsd-tools` command → SDK** matrix.
+- `docs/CLI-TOOLS.md` — Short “Parity & registry” pointer into those sections.
+- `HANDOVER-GOLDEN-PARITY.md` — One paragraph linking to the same sections.
+
+### 2. `gsd-sdk query` tokenization (`normalizeQueryCommand`)
+
+- **Problem:** `gsd-sdk query` used only argv[0] as the registry key, so `query state json` dispatched `state` (unregistered) instead of `state.json`.
+- **Fix:** `sdk/src/query/normalize-query-command.ts` merges the same **command + subcommand** patterns as `gsd-tools` `runCommand()` (e.g. `state json` → `state.json`, `init execute-phase 9` → `init.execute-phase`, `scaffold …` → `phase.scaffold`, `progress bar` → `progress.bar`). Wired in `sdk/src/cli.ts` before `registry.dispatch()`.
+- **Tests:** `sdk/src/query/normalize-query-command.test.ts`.
+
+### 3. `phase add-batch` in the registry
+
+- **Implementation:** `phaseAddBatch` in `sdk/src/query/phase-lifecycle.ts` — port of `cmdPhaseAddBatch` from `get-shit-done/bin/lib/phase.cjs` (batch append under one roadmap lock; sequential or `phase_naming: custom`).
+- **Registration:** `phase.add-batch` and `phase add-batch` in `sdk/src/query/index.ts`; listed in `QUERY_MUTATION_COMMANDS` (dotted + space forms).
+- **Tests:** `describe('phaseAddBatch')` in `sdk/src/query/phase-lifecycle.test.ts`.
+- **Docs:** `QUERY-HANDLERS.md` updated — `phase add-batch` is **registered**; CLI-only table no longer lists it.
+
+### 4. `state load` fully in the registry (split from `state json`)
+
+Previously `state.json` and `state.load` were easy to confuse: CJS has two different commands — `cmdStateJson` (`state json`, rebuilt frontmatter) vs `cmdStateLoad` (`state load`, `loadConfig` + `state_raw` + existence flags).
+
+- `stateJson` — `sdk/src/query/state.ts`; registry key `state.json`.
+- `stateProjectLoad` — `sdk/src/query/state-project-load.ts`; registry key `state.load`. Uses `createRequire` to call `core.cjs` `loadConfig(projectDir)` from the same resolution paths as a normal install (bundled monorepo path, `projectDir/.claude/get-shit-done/...`, `~/.claude/get-shit-done/...`). `GSDTools.stateLoad()` and `formatRegistryRawStdout` for `--raw` no longer force a subprocess solely for this command.
+- **Risk:** If `core.cjs` is absent (e.g. some `@gsd-build/sdk`-only layouts), `state.load` throws `GSDError` — document; future option is a TS `loadConfig` port or bundling.
+- **Goldens:** `read-only-parity.integration.test.ts` — one block compares `state.json` to `state json` (strip `last_updated`); another compares `state.load` to `state load` (full `toEqual`). `read-only-golden-rows.ts` `readOnlyGoldenCanonicals()` includes both `state.json` and `state.load`.

+
+## Query surface completeness (snapshot)
+
+
+| Status                   | Surface                                                                                          |
+| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| **Registered**           | Essentially all `gsd-tools.cjs` `runCommand` surfaces, including `phase.add-batch`.          |
+| **CLI-only (by design)** | `graphify`, `from-gsd2` — not in `createRegistry()`; documented in `QUERY-HANDLERS.md`.  |
+| **SDK-only extra**       | `phases.archive` — no `gsd-tools phases archive` subcommand (CJS has `list` / `clear` only). |
+
+
+**Programmatic API:** `createRegistry()` / `registry.dispatch('dotted.name', args, projectDir)`.
+
+**CLI:** `gsd-sdk query …` — apply `normalizeQueryCommand` semantics (or pass dotted names explicitly).
+
+**Still not unified:** `GSDTools` (`sdk/src/gsd-tools.ts`) shells out to `gsd-tools.cjs` for plan/session flows; migrating callers to the registry is separate #2302 / runner work. `state load` is **not** among the subprocess-only exceptions anymore (it uses the registry like other native query handlers when native query is active).

+
+## Roadmap: parity vs decision offloading
+
+Work that moves **deterministic** orchestration out of AI/bash and into **SDK queries** (historically `gsd-tools.cjs`) has **two layers**. Do not confuse them:
+
+
+| Layer                    | Goal                                                                                                                                                                         | What “done” looks like                                                                  |
+| ------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Parity / migration**   | Existing CLI behavior is **stable and testable** in the registry so callers can use `gsd-sdk query` instead of `node …/gsd-tools.cjs` without silent drift.                  | Goldens + `QUERY-HANDLERS.md`; same JSON/`--raw` contracts as CJS.                      |
+| **Offloading decisions** | **New or consolidated** queries replace repeated `grep`, `ls` piped to `wc -l`, many `config-get`s, and inline `node -e` in workflows — so the model does less parsing and branching. | Fewer inline shell blocks; measurable token/step reduction on representative workflows. |
+
+
+Phase 3–style registry work mainly advances **parity**. The `decision-routing-audit.md` proposals are mostly **offloading** — they assume parity exists for commands workflows already call.
+
+### Decision-routing audit (proposed `gsd-tools` / SDK queries)
+
+Source: `.planning/research/decision-routing-audit.md` §3. **Tier** = priority from §5 (implementation order). **Do not implement** = explicitly rejected in the audit.
+
+| # | Proposed command | Tier | Notes |
+|---|------------------|------|--------|

+
+**Not in audit:** `phase-artifact-counts` was only an example in an older handover line; there is no §3.11 for it — add via a new research doc if needed.
+
+**SDK registry (Tier 1):** **Done** — `check.config-gates`, `check.phase-ready`, `route.next-action` in `createRegistry()` (`sdk/src/query/index.ts`). Documented in `sdk/src/query/QUERY-HANDLERS.md` § Decision routing (**SDK-only** until/unless mirrored in `gsd-tools.cjs`).
+
+**Simple roadmap (execute in order):**
+
+1. **Harden parity** for surfaces workflows already depend on (registry dispatch, goldens, docs) so swaps from CJS to `gsd-sdk query` stay safe.
+2. **Ship 1–2 high-leverage consolidation handlers** from the audit (pick based on impact and risk; examples: `check auto-mode`, `phase-artifact-counts`, `route next-action` — with **display/routing fields** required by `review-and-risks.md` if applicable). Each needs handlers, tests, and `QUERY-HANDLERS.md` notes. **Progress:** `check.auto-mode` shipped (`sdk/src/query/check-auto-mode.ts`); Tier 1 `route.next-action` already registered.
+3. **Rewrite one heavy workflow** (e.g. `next.md` or a focused slice of `autonomous.md`) to consume those queries and **measure** before/after (steps, tokens, or both). **Progress:** `execute-phase.md`, `discuss-phase.md`, `discuss-phase-assumptions.md`, and `plan-phase.md` (UI gate) now use `check auto-mode` instead of paired `config-get`s where applicable.
+4. **Maintain a living boundary** between SDK (**data, deterministic checks**) and workflows (**judgment, sequencing, user-facing messages**). Extend `decision-routing-audit.md` §6 (decisions that stay with the AI) and `review-and-risks.md` “Do not implement” (e.g. no pre-computed `route workflow-steps`) as you add primitives. **Progress:** audit §3.5 / Tier 2 #4 updated to reference SDK implementation.
+
+**Gaps to keep in mind when designing new queries:** call-time vs stale data after file writes (re-query volatile fields); workflows own gates/UX; behavioral contracts (e.g. UI keyword lists) must match existing greps; `stderr`/`stdout` and JSON shapes stable for bash/`jq`; hybrid `require(core.cjs)` paths called out for minimal installs.
+
+**Research references (repo root):** `.planning/research/decision-routing-audit.md`, `.planning/research/review-and-risks.md`, `.planning/research/inline-computation-audit.md`, `.planning/research/questions.md` (Q1 boundary). For parity mechanics, prefer `sdk/src/query/QUERY-HANDLERS.md` and `HANDOVER-GOLDEN-PARITY.md`.
+
+---
+
+## Suggested next session
+
+(Strategic ordering of **parity vs decision offloading** is in **Roadmap** above.)
+
+1. ~~**Golden test for `phase.add-batch`**~~ — Done: `sdk/src/golden/mutation-subprocess.integration.test.ts` (`phase.add-batch` JSON parity vs CJS).
+2. ~~**Re-export `normalizeQueryCommand`**~~ — Done: exported from `sdk/src/query/index.ts` and `sdk/src/index.ts` (`@gsd-build/sdk`).
+3. **Issue #2302 follow-ups** — Runner alignment (`GSDTools` → registry where appropriate). **`configGet`** now uses `dispatchNativeJson` with canonical `config-get` (fixes subprocess argv vs real `gsd-tools.cjs`, which has no `config` + `get` top-level). Keep `graphify` / `from-gsd2` out of scope unless product reopens.
+4. **Drift check** — When adding CJS commands, update `QUERY-HANDLERS.md` matrix and golden docs in the same PR.
+
+---
+
+## Verification commands
+
+```bash
+cd sdk
+npm run build
+npx vitest run src/query/normalize-query-command.test.ts src/query/phase-lifecycle.test.ts src/query/registry.test.ts --project unit
+npx vitest run src/golden/golden.integration.test.ts --project integration
+```
+
+(Adjust `--project` to match `sdk/vitest.config.ts`.)
+
+---
+
+## Success criteria (query-layer slice)
+
+- Parity expectations and CJS↔SDK matrix documented in one place (`QUERY-HANDLERS.md`).
+- `gsd-sdk query` understands two-token command patterns like `gsd-tools`.
+- `phase add-batch` implemented and registered; **only** intentional CLI-only gaps remain (**graphify**, **from-gsd2**).
+
+---
+
+*Created/updated for query-layer handoff. Revise when registry surface, golden coverage, or the parity/offloading roadmap changes materially.*

+# @gsd-build/sdk
+
+TypeScript SDK for **Get Shit Done**: deterministic query/mutation handlers, plan execution, and event-stream telemetry so agents focus on judgment, not shell plumbing.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+npm install @gsd-build/sdk
+```
+
+## Quickstart — programmatic
+
+```typescript
+import { GSD, createRegistry } from '@gsd-build/sdk';
+
+const gsd = new GSD({ projectDir: process.cwd(), sessionId: 'my-run' });
+const tools = gsd.createTools();
+
+const registry = createRegistry(gsd.eventStream, 'my-run');
+const { data } = await registry.dispatch('state.json', [], process.cwd());
+```
+
+## Quickstart — CLI
+
+From a project that depends on this package, **invoke the CLI with Node** (recommended in CI and local dev):
+
+```bash
+node ./node_modules/@gsd-build/sdk/dist/cli.js query state.json
+node ./node_modules/@gsd-build/sdk/dist/cli.js query roadmap.analyze
+```
+
+If no native handler is registered for a command, the CLI can transparently shell out to `get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs` (see stderr warning), unless `GSD_QUERY_FALLBACK=off`.
+
+## What ships
+
+| Area | Entry |
+|------|--------|
+| Query registry | `createRegistry()` in `src/query/index.ts` — same handlers as `gsd-sdk query` |
+| Tools bridge | `GSDTools` — native dispatch with optional CJS subprocess fallback |
+| Orchestrators | `PhaseRunner`, `InitRunner`, `GSD` |
+| CLI | `gsd-sdk` — `query`, `run`, `init`, `auto` |
+
+## Guides
+
+- **Handler registry & contracts:** [`src/query/QUERY-HANDLERS.md`](src/query/QUERY-HANDLERS.md)
+- **Repository docs** (when present): `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`, `docs/CLI-TOOLS.md` at repo root
+
+## Environment
+
+| Variable | Purpose |
+|----------|---------|
+| `GSD_QUERY_FALLBACK` | `off` / `never` disables CLI fallback to `gsd-tools.cjs` for unknown commands |
+| `GSD_AGENTS_DIR` | Override directory scanned for installed GSD agents (`~/.claude/agents` by default) |

 This document records contracts for the typed query layer consumed by `gsd-sdk query` and programmatic `createRegistry()` callers.
 
+## Registry coverage vs `gsd-tools.cjs`
+
+- **In scope:** Native handlers are registered in `createRegistry()` (`index.ts`) so SDK output can match `get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs` JSON (see `sdk/src/golden/`).
+- **Explicitly not registered** (product decision): `**graphify**`, `**from-gsd2**` / `**gsd2-import**` — remain CLI-only.
+- **CLI name differences** (same behavior, different dispatch string):
+  - CJS `**summary-extract**` → SDK `**summary.extract**` / `**summary extract**` / `**history-digest**` (see `index.ts`).
+  - CJS top-level `**scaffold <type> ...**` → SDK `**phase.scaffold**` / `**phase scaffold**` with the scaffold type as the first argument (no separate `scaffold` alias on the registry).
+
 ## `gsd-sdk query` routing
 
-- **Longest-prefix match** on argv (`resolveQueryArgv` in `registry.ts`): tries joined keys `a.b.c` then `a b c` for each prefix length, longest first. Example: `state update status X` → handler `state.update` with args `[status, X]`.
+1. **`normalizeQueryCommand()`** (`normalize-query-command.ts`) — maps the first argv tokens to the same **command + subcommand** patterns as `gsd-tools` `runCommand()` where needed (e.g. `state json` → `state.json`, `init execute-phase 9` → `init.execute-phase` with args `['9']`, `scaffold …` → `phase.scaffold`). Re-exported from **`@gsd-build/sdk`** and **`createRegistry`’s module** (`sdk/src/query/index.ts`) so programmatic callers can mirror CLI tokenization without importing a deep path.
-- **Dotted single token**: one token like `init.new-project` matches the registry; if the first pass finds no handler, a single dotted token is split and matching runs again (same helper as above).
+2. **`resolveQueryArgv()`** (`registry.ts`) — **longest-prefix match** on the normalized argv: tries joined keys `a.b.c` then `a b c` for each prefix length, longest first. Example: `state update status X` → handler `state.update` with args `[status, X]`.
-- **No CJS passthrough**: if nothing matches a registered handler, the CLI exits with an error. Operations not ported to the query registry (e.g. `audit-open`, `graphify`, `from-gsd2`, `state validate`) must use `node …/gsd-tools.cjs` directly — see `docs/CLI-TOOLS.md`.
+3. **Dotted single token**: one token like `init.new-project` matches the registry; if the first pass finds no handler, a single dotted token is split and matching runs again.
-- **Output**: JSON written to stdout for successful handler results.
+4. **CJS fallback (CLI)**: if nothing matches a registered handler and `GSD_QUERY_FALLBACK` is not `off`/`never`/`false`/`0`, the CLI shells out to `gsd-tools.cjs` with argv derived from the normalized tokens (dotted commands are split into CJS-style segments). stderr receives a short bridge warning. Set `GSD_QUERY_FALLBACK=off` for strict mode (parity tests). CLI-only commands such as `graphify` rely on this path until native handlers exist.
+5. **Output**: JSON written to stdout for successful handler results.
+
+**Registered:** `phase.add-batch` / `phase add-batch` — batch append (see `phaseAddBatch` in `phase-lifecycle.ts`).
 
 ## Error handling
 
 - **Validation and programmer errors**: Handlers throw `GSDError` with an `ErrorClassification` (e.g. missing required args, invalid phase). The CLI maps these to exit codes via `exitCodeFor()`.
 - **Expected domain failures**: Handlers return `{ data: { error: string, ... } }` for cases that are not exceptional in normal use (file not found, intel disabled, todo missing, etc.). Callers must check `data.error` when present.
-- Do not mix both styles for the same failure mode in new code: prefer **throw** for "caller must fix input"; prefer **`data.error`** for "operation could not complete in this project state."
+- Do not mix both styles for the same failure mode in new code: prefer **throw** for "caller must fix input"; prefer `**data.error`** for "operation could not complete in this project state."
 
 ## Mutation commands and events
 
 - `QUERY_MUTATION_COMMANDS` in `index.ts` lists every command name (including space-delimited aliases) that performs durable writes. It drives optional `GSDEventStream` wrapping so mutations emit structured events.
 - Init composition handlers (`init.*`) are **not** included: they return JSON for workflows; agents perform filesystem work.
+- `**state.validate`** is **read-only** — not listed in `QUERY_MUTATION_COMMANDS`.
+- `**skill-manifest`**: writes to disk only when invoked with `**--write**`. It is **not** in `QUERY_MUTATION_COMMANDS`, so conditional writes do not emit mutation events today. If event consumers need `skill-manifest` writes, add a follow-up that either registers a dedicated command name for the write path or documents the exception.
+
+## Intel: `intel.update`
+
+- `**intel.update`** / `**intel update**` matches CJS `intel.cjs` `intelUpdate` **JSON** (not an in-process graph refresh): when intel is enabled it returns `{ action: 'spawn_agent', message: '...' }`; when disabled, `{ disabled: true, message: '...' }`. The **gsd-intel-updater** agent performs the actual refresh after spawn. Golden tests use full `toEqual` vs `gsd-tools.cjs` on this repo’s intel config.
 
 ## Session correlation (`sessionId`)
 
-- Mutation events include `sessionId: ''` until a future phase threads session identifiers through the query dispatch path. Consumers should not rely on `sessionId` for correlation today.
+- `createRegistry(eventStream, sessionId)` threads the optional `sessionId` string into mutation-related events emitted via `eventStream`. `GSDTools` accepts `sessionId` in its constructor and forwards it to `createRegistry`; `GSD` accepts `sessionId` in `GSDOptions` and passes it through `createTools()`. When omitted, `sessionId` is empty.

 - `searchJsonEntries` in `intel.ts` caps recursion depth (`MAX_JSON_SEARCH_DEPTH`) to avoid stack overflow on pathological nested JSON.
+
+## Phase / plan listing (SDK-only)
+
+No `gsd-tools.cjs` mirror — agents use these instead of shell `ls`/`find`/`grep`:
+
+- `**phase.list-plans**` `<phase>` [`**--with-schema**` `<yamlKey>`] — PLAN files in the phase dir; optional filter when a frontmatter key is present (`phase-list-queries.ts`).
+- `**phase.list-artifacts**` `<phase>` `**--type**` `context|summary|verification|research` — matching `*-CONTEXT.md`, `*-SUMMARY.md`, etc.
+- `**plan.task-structure**` `<path-to-PLAN.md>` — wave, `depends_on`, task/checkpoint counts via `parsePlan()`.
+- `**requirements.extract-from-plans**` `<phase>` — deduped `requirements:` frontmatter across plans.
+
+## State extensions (Phase 3)
+
+Handlers for `**state.signal-waiting`**, `**state.signal-resume**`, `**state.validate**`, `**state.sync**` (supports `--verify` dry-run), and `**state.prune**` live in `state-mutation.ts`, with dotted and `state …` space aliases in `index.ts`.
+
+**`state.json` vs `state.load` (different CJS commands):**
+
+- **`state.json`** / `state json` — port of **`cmdStateJson`** (`state.ts` `stateJson`): rebuilt STATE.md frontmatter JSON. Read-only golden: `read-only-parity.integration.test.ts` compares to CJS `state json` with **`last_updated`** stripped.
+- **`state.load`** / `state load` — port of **`cmdStateLoad`** (`state-project-load.ts` `stateProjectLoad`): `{ config, state_raw, state_exists, roadmap_exists, config_exists }`; **`config`** comes from **`get-shit-done/bin/lib/core.cjs`** `loadConfig` (resolved via the same candidate paths as a normal GSD install). Read-only golden: full `toEqual` vs `state load`. If `core.cjs` cannot be resolved, dispatch throws **`GSDError`** (document for minimal `@gsd-build/sdk`-only installs).
+
+`stateExtractField` in `helpers.ts` uses **horizontal whitespace only** after `Field:` so YAML keys such as lowercase `progress:` in frontmatter are not mistaken for the body `Progress:` line (see `get-shit-done/bin/lib/state.cjs` — same rule).
+
+## Golden parity: coverage and exceptions
+
+Subprocess reference: `captureGsdToolsOutput()` / `captureGsdToolsStdout()` → `get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs` (`sdk/src/golden/capture.ts`). Plain-text commands (e.g. `config-path`) use stdout string comparison in `read-only-parity.integration.test.ts`.
+
+**Authoritative accounting (every canonical handler):** `sdk/src/golden/golden-policy.ts` merges `golden-integration-covered.ts` (canonicals hit by `golden.integration.test.ts`) with `read-only-golden-rows.ts` / special cases (`verify.commits`, `config-path`) into `GOLDEN_PARITY_INTEGRATION_COVERED`, and builds `GOLDEN_PARITY_EXCEPTIONS` for the rest. `getCanonicalRegistryCommands()` (`registry-canonical-commands.ts`) lists one dispatch string per unique handler; each canonical must be either covered or receive a built-in exception string (mutations → shared rationale; read-only without a subprocess row → per-command note). `sdk/src/golden/golden-policy.test.ts` calls `verifyGoldenPolicyComplete()` so the policy cannot drift silently.
+
+**Integration test files:**
+
+| File | Role |
+| ---- | ---- |
+| `sdk/src/golden/golden.integration.test.ts` | Primary golden suite: subset/shape/full parity as documented in the tables below. |
+| `sdk/src/golden/read-only-parity.integration.test.ts` | Read-only handlers with full `toEqual` on `sdkResult.data` vs CJS JSON; rows listed in `read-only-golden-rows.ts`. Also `config-path` / `verify.commits`, dedicated blocks for **`state.json`** (strip `last_updated`) and **`state.load`** (full `cmdStateLoad` parity). |
+
+This section summarizes **how** each covered command is compared so readers do not have to infer rules from assertions alone.
+
+### Golden registry coverage matrix (human summary)
+
+- **Covered by subprocess golden** — canonical names appear in `GOLDEN_PARITY_INTEGRATION_COVERED`; see the tables below and the two integration files for assertion style (mostly full `toEqual`; remaining subset cases: `frontmatter.get`, `find-phase`).
+- **Not in covered set** — either listed in `QUERY_MUTATION_COMMANDS` (durable writes; handler tests in `sdk/src/query/*.test.ts` and mutation-focused tests) or a read-only handler whose full CJS JSON match is deferred (see auto-generated exception text in `golden-policy.ts`).
+
+### Full JSON equality (`toEqual` on result data)
+
+These tests expect `sdkResult.data` to match the parsed CJS stdout JSON (possibly after shared normalization helpers):

+| SDK dispatch (canonical) | Notes |
+| ------------------------ | ----- |
+| `resolve-model` | Args e.g. `gsd-planner`. |
+| `phase-plan-index` | Phase number arg. |
+| `roadmap.get-phase` | Phase number arg. |
+| `list.todos` | No args. |
+| `phase.next-decimal` | Phase number arg. |
+| `phases.list` | No args. |
+| `verify.summary` | Plan path. |
+| `verify.path-exists` | Path under repo. |
+| `verify.artifacts` | Plan path. |
+| `verify.commits` | Two git SHAs (`HEAD~1` / `HEAD` or fallback). |
+| `websearch` | Limited query (may hit network — test uses small limit). |
+| `workstream.get` / `workstream.list` / `workstream.status` | Default workstream where applicable (`status` uses full CJS shape when the workstream dir exists). |
+| `learnings.list` | No args. |
+| `intel.status` | No args. |
+| `intel.diff` / `intel.validate` / `intel.query` | When intel is disabled, disabled payload matches CJS (including message text). |
+| `init.list-workspaces` | No args. |
+| `agent-skills` | No agent type → JSON `""` (same as CJS). |
+| `scan-sessions` | `--json`; SDK `scanSessions` output matches CJS project array (`profile-scan-sessions.ts`). |
+| `summary.extract` | Fixture `sdk/src/golden/fixtures/summary-extract-sample.md`; uses `extractFrontmatterLeading` (first `---` block) for parity with `frontmatter.cjs`. |
+| `history.digest` | No args; aggregate over `.planning/phases` + archived milestone phase dirs (`commands.cjs` `cmdHistoryDigest`). |
+| `audit-uat` | No args; full JSON parity with `uat.cjs` `cmdAuditUat` (`results`, `summary` with `by_category` / `by_phase`). |
+| `skill-manifest` | No args; full manifest parity with `init.cjs` `buildSkillManifest` / `cmdSkillManifest`. Handler uses `extractFrontmatterLeading` (first `---` block) like CJS `frontmatter.cjs` `extractFrontmatter` — not TS `extractFrontmatter` (last block), so skills with multiple `---` sections match CJS. |
+| `validate.agents` | No args; `agents_dir` matches `core.cjs` `getAgentsDir` (`GSD_AGENTS_DIR` or `sdk/dist/query/../../../agents` in this monorepo — same absolute path as CLI). `MODEL_PROFILES` / `expected` list stays aligned with `get-shit-done/bin/lib/model-profiles.cjs`. |
+| `state.get` | Dedicated tests: no args → full `{ content }` vs `state get`; one field (`milestone`) → `{ milestone: "…" }` vs `state get milestone` (frontmatter line match). |
+| `state.json` | `state json` vs SDK; **`last_updated`** stripped before `toEqual` (volatile). |
+| `state.load` | `state load` vs SDK; full **`cmdStateLoad`** object graph (`config`, `state_raw`, existence flags). |
+| `uat.render-checkpoint` | Fixture `sdk/src/golden/fixtures/uat-render-checkpoint-sample.md`; full JSON parity with `uat.cjs` `cmdRenderCheckpoint` (`file_path`, `test_number`, `test_name`, `checkpoint` — same box + `buildCheckpoint` text as CJS; `sanitizeForDisplay` on name/expected). |
+| `config-path` | Plain stdout path vs `{ path }` — compared with `path.normalize` in tests. |
+
+
+### Normalized or field-omitted comparison

+| SDK / test  | Rule                                                                                                                                                                     |
+| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `audit-open` | `audit-open --json`: `**scanned_at**` stripped before `toEqual` (volatile ISO time). `sanitizeForDisplay` in `audit-open.ts` matches `security.cjs` (CRLF body lines can leave `\r` in `items.todos[].summary`, matching CLI). |
+| `extract.messages` / `extract-messages` | Fixture `sdk/src/golden/fixtures/extract-messages-sessions/` passed as `--path` (sessions root). `**output_file**` stripped before `toEqual` (temp path under `os.tmpdir()`); then the two JSONL files are compared byte-for-byte. Parity with `profile-pipeline.cjs` `cmdExtractMessages` (`streamExtractMessages`, `isGenuineUserMessage`, batch limit 300). |
+| `docs-init` | `existing_docs` sorted by `path` before compare; `**agents_installed`** and `**missing_agents**` omitted (subprocess vs in-process path resolution for `~/.claude/...`). |
+
+
+### Structural, subset, or shape-only parity
+
+Assertions deliberately compare only selected fields (not full `toEqual`):
+
+
+| SDK dispatch (representative) | What is compared |
+| ----------------------------- | ---------------- |
+| `frontmatter.get`             | Scalar fields `phase`, `plan`, `type`; same top-level key set as CJS. |
+| `find-phase`                  | `found`, `directory`, `phase_number`, `phase_name`, `plans` (SDK payload is a **subset** of CJS — extra CJS fields ignored). |
+
+`template.select` is **not** in `golden.integration.test.ts`: CJS `template select <plan-path>` scores PLAN **content** for summary templates; SDK `template.select <phase>` uses phase-directory heuristics — different algorithms. Covered in `sdk/src/query/template.test.ts`.
+
+### Time- and environment-dependent
+
+
+| Command             | Rule                                                                                                                                                                 |
+| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `current-timestamp` | `**full`**: same shape and valid ISO strings; not the same instant. `**date**`: same calendar day when the test does not cross midnight. `**filename**`: full `toEqual` (back-to-back capture vs SDK). |
+
+
+### Conditional writes (not in `QUERY_MUTATION_COMMANDS`)
+
+
+| Command          | Rule                                                                                                                                       |
+| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `skill-manifest` | Disk writes only with `**--write`**; registry does not emit mutation events for this command (see **Mutation commands and events** above). |
+
+
+### Registered but not in the golden suite
+
+Handlers in `createRegistry()` that are **not** covered by `golden.integration.test.ts` are not automatically “non-parity” — they simply have **no** automated cross-check against CJS yet. Add golden tests when tightening coverage; until then, treat absence here as a **test gap**, not a behavior guarantee.
+
+---
+
+## Decision routing (SDK-only)
+
+These handlers implement `.planning/research/decision-routing-audit.md` — **no `gsd-tools.cjs` mirror yet** (orchestration JSON only). Invoke via `gsd-sdk query` / `registry.dispatch()` after `normalizeQueryCommand()` where argv uses `check …` / `detect …` / `route …` prefixes.
+
+### Tier 1
+
+| Dispatch | Purpose |
+| -------- | ------- |
+| `check.config-gates` / `check config-gates [workflow]` | Single JSON blob of merged `workflow.*` (+ `context_window`) for batch config gates. |
+| `check.phase-ready` / `check phase-ready <phase>` | Phase directory stats, `dependencies_met`, `next_step` (`discuss` / `plan` / `execute` / `verify` / `complete`). |
+| `route.next-action` / `route next-action` | Suggested next slash command from `next.md`-style rules (`/gsd-discuss-phase`, `/gsd-execute-phase`, `/gsd-resume-work`, gates, etc.). |
+
+### Tier 2
+
+| Dispatch | Purpose |
+| -------- | ------- |
+| `check.auto-mode` / `check auto-mode` | `active` (OR of `workflow.auto_advance` and `workflow._auto_chain_active`), `source` (`none` / `auto_advance` / `auto_chain` / `both`), plus the two booleans. Replaces paired `config-get` calls in checkpoint and auto-advance steps. Use `--pick active` or `--pick auto_chain_active` when a workflow only needs one field. |
+| `detect.phase-type` / `detect phase-type <phase>` | Structured UI/schema/API/infra detection for a phase. Returns `has_frontend`, `frontend_indicators`, `has_schema`, `schema_orm`, `schema_files`, `has_api`, `has_infra`, `push_command` (null, reserved). Replaces fragile grep-based UI detection in `autonomous.md`, `plan-phase.md`, etc. (audit §3.6). |
+| `check.completion` / `check completion <phase\|milestone> <id>` | Phase or milestone completion rollup. Phase mode: `plans_total`, `plans_with_summaries`, `missing_summaries`, `verification_status`, `uat_status`, `debt` (`uat_gaps`, `verification_failures`, `human_needed`), `complete`. Milestone mode: `phase_count`, `phases_complete`, `phases_incomplete`, `complete`. Replaces PLAN/SUMMARY counting in `transition.md`, `complete-milestone.md` (audit §3.7). |
+
+### Tier 3
+
+| Dispatch | Purpose |
+| -------- | ------- |
+| `check.gates` / `check gates <workflow> [--phase <N>]` | Safety gate consolidation. Checks `.continue-here.md` presence (blocker), STATE.md error/failed status (blocker), and VERIFICATION.md FAIL rows (warning). Returns `passed`, `blockers`, `warnings`. Replaces per-workflow gate logic in `next.md`, `execute-phase.md`, `discuss-phase.md` (audit §3.2). SDK-only — no CJS mirror. |
+| `check.verification-status` / `check verification-status <phase>` | VERIFICATION.md parser. Returns `status` (`pass`/`fail`/`partial`/`missing`), `score` (e.g. `"3/4"`), `gaps`, `human_items`, `deferred`. Handles prefixed filenames and missing files. Replaces VERIFICATION.md grep/parse in `execute-phase.md`, `autonomous.md`, `progress.md` (audit §3.8). SDK-only — no CJS mirror. |
+| `check.ship-ready` / `check ship-ready <phase>` | Ship preflight: `clean_tree`, `on_feature_branch`, `current_branch`, `base_branch`, `remote_configured`, `gh_available`, `gh_authenticated` (always false — advisory, no network call), `verification_passed`, `blockers`, `ready`. Replaces ship.md preflight checks (audit §3.9). SDK-only — no CJS mirror. |
+
+**Stability:** Shapes are versioned with the audit doc; add integration tests when workflows adopt these queries. Re-run after file writes that change `.planning/` (stale read caveat in audit §6). All Tier 1–3 handlers are implemented and unit-tested.

  * Summary query handlers — extract sections and history from SUMMARY.md files.
  *
  * Ported from get-shit-done/bin/lib/commands.cjs (cmdSummaryExtract, cmdHistoryDigest).
- * Provides summary section parsing and condensed phase history generation.
+ * Uses `extractFrontmatterLeading` for parity with `frontmatter.cjs` (first `---` block only).
  *
  * @example
  * ```typescript
  * import { summaryExtract, historyDigest } from './summary.js';
  *
- * await summaryExtract(['.planning/phases/09-foundation/09-01-SUMMARY.md'], '/project');
+ * await summaryExtract(['path/to/SUMMARY.md'], '/project');
- * // { data: { sections: { what_was_done: '...', tests: '...' }, file: '...' } }
- *
  * await historyDigest([], '/project');
- * // { data: { phases: [...], count: 5 } }
  * ```
