a9a7a328e6 refactor: hard-fork GSD -> MSD (Make Software Done)
Mechanical rename produced by scripts/msd-rename.cjs: gsd/Gsd/GSD -> msd/Msd/MSD
across contents and paths, upstream package/repo coordinates -> @golem15/msd-core
and golem15com/msd-core. Deep links into upstream history, sibling upstream
packages, the GSD-2 import feature, CHANGELOG.md and .changeset/ are kept as-is.

Hand edits on top: MSD block-letter banner and logos, LICENSE copyright line,
package/plugin identity, regenerated lockfile, install-tree fixtures, derived
registries and benchmark baseline; migration checksum baseline re-locked
(MSD keeps its own install state, so no install had applied the old sums);
sort-order and regex-escaped expectations in tests adjusted.

c0b2a05d2f fix(#4594): one canonical dispatch-identity owner — the emitted format and the parser that reads it back (#4693)
* fix(#4594): give dispatch identity one owner for the emitted format and its parser

The isolation guards decided whether a run-scoped sentinel applied to a
dispatch by regex-scraping model-authored prose. The scrape returned values in
a different namespace from the ones the sentinel records, so the comparison
could never succeed:

  sentinel  { phase: "03", plan: "03-02-hardening" }   <- $PHASE_NUMBER / $plan_id
  prose     "Execute plan 02 of phase 03-auth."
  scraped   { phase: "03-auth.", plan: "02" }          <- greedy (\S+), both wrong

#4594 reports only the phase half. Measured against a real phase-plan-index
run, plans[].id is phase-prefixed, plan-numbered AND slugged, while the prose
carries a bare in-phase plan number — so the plan field mismatches too, and the
Claude path is dead rather than latent. A fresh sentinel was therefore
discarded on every executor dispatch and every legitimate ISOLATION=none
degrade was denied, leaving the work unrun.

hooks/lib/dispatch-identity.js is now the single owner of both halves. The two
prompt-body producers emit a canonical marker carrying the same shell values
the sentinel records, so producer and consumer agree by construction. The prose
frame stays as a fallback, bounded by the phase-token grammar ADR-2121 owns and
deliberately reporting no plan — an absent identifier means "cannot compare"
and is safe; a wrong one is a false mismatch and is not.

The prose sentence itself is byte-identical: the executor agent reads it too,
so the marker is purely additive (Hyrum's Law).

An inapplicable sentinel is now named in the guards' deny reason instead of
being dropped silently — the silence is why this survived three producers and
two consumers unnoticed. Interpolated values come from a sentinel file and from
prompt text, so both are length-bounded and stripped of control characters.

ADR-4630 locks the seam and maps the epic's three phases.

* fix(#4594): resolve eight review findings across the dispatch-identity seam

Three orthogonal review engines ran on 43418af144 — the code-review skill's
Standards and Spec axes, and an isolated adversarial security pass — plus a
self-review of the committed diff. Every finding is fixed here; none deferred.

F1 (major, reproduced). A keyless or unknown-key-only marker — the literal
"[gsd:dispatch]" or "[gsd:dispatch run=..]" — matched the marker grammar and
returned source:'marker' with both fields null, suppressing the prose fallback
entirely. Any prompt text containing that literal silently disabled identity
narrowing, so a fresh sentinel applied to a dispatch it was never scoped to,
defeating #3045 SECURITY F2. Prompt text is attacker-influenceable. A marker
that yields neither recognized key is no longer a marker: the scan continues to
later markers, then later texts, then prose. Forward-compatible tolerance of
unknown keys is unchanged.

F2/F3 (major). The first cut duplicated sanitizeForReason,
describeSentinelDiscard and REASON_INTERPOLATION_MAX_LEN byte-for-byte across
both guards — the exact defect class this epic exists to delete, and with no
cold-load justification, since both hooks already require hooks/lib/. They now
live in hooks/lib/isolation-deny-reason.js, and buildSentinelDiscard lives in
isolation-sentinel.js beside the comparison it mirrors, returning the nested
{sentinel:{phase,plan}, dispatch:{phase,plan}} shape instead of a bespoke
four-field bag that renamed the pairs already flowing through the seam.

F4 (hard violation). The visibility test asserted on the deny reason's prose.
CONTRIBUTING.md prohibits raw text matching on hook output, which is why every
deny carries a stable reason_code. The discard is now a structured
sentinel_discarded field on each hook's stdout JSON, and the test asserts that;
the sentence stays for the operator but is no longer the contract.

F5 (hard violation). The 64-character truncation limit had no boundary
coverage. 63/64/65 are now exercised against the single consolidated helper.

F6 (minor). sanitizeForReason stripped C0/C1 controls but not U+2028/U+2029 or
the bidi overrides, so a crafted value could still reflow or reverse the
message. Both classes are stripped, with a test each.

F7 (major). The producer/template parity test was vacuous — it rendered a
marker and re-parsed its own output, and would have passed with both templates
deleted. It now reads the two workflow templates, extracts each marker line,
substitutes the measured values and asserts the owner's parser returns them.
Proven red by deleting one template's marker line before being proven green.

F8 (doc). ADR-4630 and the design notes claimed the marker is guaranteed on the
orchestrator-worktree path because that prompt is built in shell. It is not:
executor-isolation-dispatch.md:131 says plainly that those are template
placeholders, not shell variables, so {plan_id} is model-substituted there too.
A false guarantee in a design lock is worse than a stated limit. Both documents
now say the marker is model-substituted on both paths and that the prose
fallback is the real floor everywhere. The "3 workflow templates" count was
also wrong — 3 prose sites across 2 files, 2 of which carry the marker.

* chore(#4594): refresh the compact-content baseline and acknowledge execute-phase.md growth

Refs #4630.

The dispatch-identity marker and its substitution note grew
gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase.md by 525 bytes (91846 -> 92371), which drifts
two real-tree guards that lint:ci does not run:

- tests/benchmark-compact-content.test.cjs asserts the committed baseline is
  "up to date"; the split for execute-phase.md moved off 25827 -> 25952 and on
  23576 -> 23701, taking its compaction reduction 8.72% -> 8.67%. Baseline
  regenerated with scripts/benchmark-compact-content.cjs --write.
- tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs requires a growth acknowledgment trailer
  for any emitted file that grows, keyed on the bare filename. Added below.

The growth is two additions and no rewrites: the [gsd:dispatch ...] marker line
inside the Agent() prompt's <objective>, and the note telling the orchestrator
to substitute {plan_id} with the plan's id verbatim. Both are load-bearing --
the marker is what lets a guard hook match a dispatch to the sentinel the
per-plan gate wrote, and without the note the orchestrator has no instruction
telling it the value must not be paraphrased.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: execute-phase.md — adds the canonical [gsd:dispatch] identity marker and its {plan_id} substitution note, which the isolation guards compare verbatim against the run-scoped sentinel (#4594)

bf2332e67c fix(#3582): route every hook's compiled-module require through the self-heal build seam (#3629)
* test(3582): failing-first cold-tree coverage and the seam drift lint

On a plugin-channel install the compiled gsd-core/bin/lib/*.cjs are legitimately
absent (ADR-457 build-at-publish; the npm package builds before publishing, a raw
tree materialization never does). gsd-tools.cjs calls ensureRuntimeBuild() before
requiring ./lib; no hook does, so the isolation guard's Cannot-find-module lands in
its fail-closed catch and is misreported as an unreadable dispatch-isolation
configuration, blocking every executor dispatch.

These tests fail on that: cold-tree runs of the isolation guard, statusline, cursor
guard and update worker, plus the seam's actionable build error surfacing instead of
the generic misreport.

Also adds the drift lint the acceptance criteria require, with a fixture proving it
CAN fail — a guard never shown to fail is worthless. It is red here by design: it
flags today's unfixed hooks, which is exactly the defect.

* fix(3582): route every hook's compiled-module require through the self-heal seam

RED proven at 5b174b0d: 11 failures — the cold-tree runs for the isolation guard,
cursor guard and update worker, the fail-closed-with-actionable-message assertion, and
the lint's own real-tree check.

The compiled runtime library is produced by build:lib and gitignored (ADR-457,
build-at-publish). The npm package builds before publishing; a plugin-marketplace or
git-clone install materializes the raw tree and never does, so on that channel those
modules are legitimately absent. The self-heal seam added by #2002 exists to heal exactly
this, and the CLI entrypoint already calls it — no hook did. The isolation guard's
Cannot-find-module therefore landed in its fail-closed catch and was reported as
'could not read or resolve dispatch-isolation configuration', so an ARTIFACT ABSENCE was
misdiagnosed as an unreadable project config and every executor dispatch was blocked.

All SEVEN affected files now call the seam before their first compiled require. The issue
named four; a scan found six; implementing it surfaced a seventh — the shared isolation
sentinel helper, used by BOTH guards, which requires two compiled modules itself and
would have defeated the guards' own fix on a genuinely cold tree. Same defect class, so
fixed here rather than left as a known-broken remainder.

Failure posture is deliberately split by hook kind:
- Gates (agent isolation guard, cursor subagent start) surface the seam's actionable
  build error distinctly instead of swallowing it into the generic text, and stay
  fail-closed — a genuinely unreadable project config still DENIES exactly as before.
- Cosmetic and detached hooks (statusline, update worker, update check, update banner)
  DEGRADE rather than crash: the statusline draws on every render and the worker is a
  detached process, so a build failure there must not take down the prompt.

The npm path is untouched: the seam's already-built fast path returns immediately, so
prebuilt installs pay nothing and behave bit-for-bit as before.

Adds a drift lint, wired into the CI lint chain, so the invariant is enforced rather than
remembered — without it the next hook to add a compiled require reintroduces the class
silently. It is proven able to fail: a fixture hook requiring a compiled module without
the seam is flagged, and one that uses the seam is not. Verified directly — on the
unfixed tree it named all seven offenders; with the fix it passes.

While writing the lint's comment stripper, a naive whole-text block-comment regex ate its
own fixture, because this repo's comments legitimately spell the compiled-lib glob whose
star-slash reads as a comment opener. Rewritten as a line-based scanner with a regression
test pinning that case.

* fix(3582): test the three untested seam call sites and assert typed reason codes

Two independent reviews converged on the same major gap: the fix wired the seam into
seven files but only four had cold-tree tests. The adversarial pass put it plainly —
deleting the shared isolation-sentinel helper's seam call would not have failed any test
in the diff. That file was my own addition beyond the issue's four, so it shipped
untested; that is now closed.

- Shared isolation-sentinel helper: its seam call is only reached when .planning is NOT
  directly under cwd, and every existing cold-tree fixture puts it there, so the early
  return always fired first. Now covered, and proven load-bearing by mutation: with the
  call removed the spy records zero seam invocations and the test fails.
- update-check hook and update-banner hook: cold-tree tests added asserting the DEGRADED
  VERDICT — the fallback cache filename, and silent suppression when the package name
  degrades to null — rather than merely 'did not throw'. The banner hook previously had
  no test file at all.

Standards violation fixed: two tests asserted on free-form prose via assert.match against
a JSON reason string, which CONTRIBUTING bans by name — its own BAD example is exactly
that. The ESLint rule only covers readFileSync/spawnSync text, so tooling did not catch
it. Both isolation guards now emit a machine-readable reason_code from a frozen enum,
following the repo's existing REASON convention, and the tests assert that instead. The
human-readable message is unchanged for operators; only the assertion target moved.

The duplicated degrade boilerplate across the three cosmetic hooks was deliberately NOT
extracted, and the reason is recorded at each site: both viable shapes — a
path-parameterized helper, or a ceremony-only wrapper — defeat the drift lint's per-file
literal co-occurrence check, so extracting would require the lint to special-case its own
helper. Triplication is the lesser evil while the lint stays a co-occurrence scan.

The lint's header now states what it does and does not catch (literal quoted requires
only; hooks/ scan root), so a future reader does not over-trust a guard that a
concatenated path or a require inside a non-hooks helper would evade.

* chore(3582): regenerate the committed install-tree fixtures

Adding a new shipped hook helper changed the install tree, and those fixtures are
committed-and-derived (regen:derived / gen:install-tree), so 12 'install tree — <runtime>'
tests failed on 541a1913. Regenerated rather than hand-edited.

The delta across all 15 runtime fixtures is exactly two lines — the new helper under both
its hooks/ and gsd-hooks/ install paths — and nothing else, so the regeneration pulled in
no unrelated drift.

This is the bookkeeping ripple a new file under hooks/ carries; it was not visible from
lint:ci, which passed both before and after.

8f75e27554 fix(#3045): fail closed when an executor dispatch drops its resolved isolation (#3069)
* feat(#3045): deny an executor dispatch that drops its isolation flag

Every isolation gate already resolved correctly. The resolved value then reached
the executor through a prose instruction telling the model to substitute it into
a call the model composes itself, and nothing verified the substitution. When it
was dropped, the executor edited and committed in the user's primary checkout
with no consent and no warning.

A prose backstop would be the same class of artifact as the defect, so this is a
shipped PreToolUse hook on the Agent tool. It fires at the instant of the call
rather than being read once at the top of a workflow, which is the only placement
the model cannot skip.

The guard is inert unless it can positively establish that this is a GSD project,
that the project resolves to harness isolation, and that the dispatch targets an
executor. A non-GSD repo has no invariant to enforce. Where it cannot read the
configuration at all, it denies rather than assuming, with its own reason -- a
guard that cannot verify must not answer safe. A malformed payload allows rather
than throwing.

* feat(#3045): extend the isolation guard to Cursor

Cursor is the second of only two runtimes that resolve harness isolation, so
shipping the guard for Claude alone left half the exposed surface unguarded while
the changeset implied it was covered.

The two runtimes fail differently. On Claude the harness flag is a per-dispatch
kwarg the model must copy into a call it composes, and the defect is that it can
be dropped. On Cursor the flag is --worktree, which applies to the whole session,
and the subagent-start payload carries no isolation field at all. There is no
flag to check, so the guard verifies the effective state instead: whether the
workspace is genuinely running outside the user's primary checkout. That is a
stronger check than the Claude one because it tests reality rather than intent,
and it is commented so nobody later rewrites it into a flag check.

Isolation is established two ways, either sufficient: the workspace resolves to a
linked git worktree, or it sits under the worktree root Cursor manages. The
second matters because a directory Cursor placed there is a legitimate isolated
session even before it becomes a distinct git worktree, where linkage alone would
report no repository.

Detecting linkage required a new primitive rather than the existing context
resolver. That resolver short-circuits on finding a local .planning directory
before it ever compares the git directory to the common one -- and an isolation
worktree normally has its own checked-out .planning. Reusing it would have read a
correctly isolated session as unisolated and denied it, which is the failure
direction that gets a guard switched off. The comparison is now its own
shortcut-free function that the resolver delegates to after its own shortcut, so
existing behavior is unchanged, and the case that would have broken is pinned.

The subagent type is checked before any configuration is read, so an unreadable
config cannot deny a dispatch this guard would never have enforced against.

The input-schema comment on the Cursor hook documented only the fields common to
every event and omitted the ones specific to this one. That omission cost a
halt during this work; it now documents both.

* fix(#3045): enforce the resolved dispatch decision, not the host capability

The guard keyed on the registry's dispatch.isolation, which says only that a
runtime is CAPABLE of harness worktrees. The decision that actually governs a
dispatch is the one the workflow resolves after gating, and that legitimately
comes out as sequential in three documented cases: a project setting
use_worktrees false, a per-plan submodule intersection, and the base-check
auto-degrade. The workflow tells the model to omit the flag in exactly those
cases, and the guard was denying every one of them.

The third case matters most. The preceding fix made the base-check degrade on
git timeouts and a missing git binary, where it had previously answered "safe".
That correction is right, and it means a transient hang now degrades to
sequential far more often than before -- so the two changes composed into a trap
where the workflow behaved exactly as designed and the guard blocked it.

The workflow already resolves isolation in shell, deterministically, which is
what makes it a trustworthy source in a way the model-authored call is not. It
now records that resolved value through a dedicated verb, and both guards read
it first. A fresh record is authoritative, so sequential dispatches pass
untouched. Absent or stale, the guards fall back to the capability check
combined with the project's use_worktrees setting, which still covers the case
that never reaches the workflow.

Also widened the matcher to accept Task alongside Agent, since a host that names
the tool Task would otherwise leave the guard silently inert while implying
coverage; stopped assuming Claude when no runtime is declared, which is the
shipped default and would have demanded a Claude-only argument elsewhere; and
made a non-git project inert rather than denied, since advising a worktree
session is not actionable without a repository.

The original diagnosis never modeled sequential mode as legitimate. That
omission is what let this through, and it is now recorded there.

* fix(#3045): record at resolution and bind the record to its dispatch

Two independent reviews converged on the same failure: the guard was fail-open in
a default install, so it did not catch the defect it exists to catch. A shipped
project carries no runtime key, which made "runtime not confidently known" the
common case rather than a corner one. A record asserting that isolation was
required but carrying no flag then fell through to a capability lookup that
answered "none", and the dispatch was allowed. The flag itself only arrived from
a second shell block -- the same block a model dropping the argument would also
skip. A test had pinned that behavior as intended.

The record is now written by the resolver, as an unavoidable consequence of
asking for the value, rather than by a step the model is told in prose to go and
run. A guard against a prose-carried value cannot itself depend on prose. Mode,
flag and identifiers are written together and atomically, so the flagless window
is gone, and a record asserting isolation with no resolvable flag now denies
instead of degrading. Runtime is also resolved from the installer's own recorded
default, which makes confident resolution the normal case.

The per-plan submodule gate degrades after the phase-level decision and never
re-recorded, so a plan that legitimately ran sequentially was denied against a
still-fresh phase record. It now records its own, scoped to the plan.

A record also authorized any dispatch for four hours. One phase degrading to
sequential could silently license an unisolated dispatch in the next. Records
now carry phase and plan, the guards require them to match, and the window is
minutes rather than hours -- the resolver rewrites it before every dispatch, so
a long window bought nothing and only widened the hole.

The flag validator rejected any value beginning with two dashes, which is exactly
the form Cursor and Windsurf declare, so their real value could never have been
stored. Writer and reader also derived the record path differently and diverged
inside a linked worktree without local planning state.

The predictable path remains a way to silence the control without leaving a trace
in the diff. It grants no access an agent with shell does not already have, so it
is documented as accepted rather than redesigned around.

* fix(#3045): correct the staleness boundary and unmask a vacuous parity test

The remote runner returned twenty failures. One was a real production defect the
boundary case existed to catch: a record whose age exactly equalled the staleness
window was treated as fresh, so it stayed authoritative for one tick past its own
expiry. Freshness is now strictly inside the window.

The parity test meant to stop the two guards' executor lists from drifting could
never have failed. Its project fixture was a bare directory rather than a
repository, so the non-git inert branch answered before the executor list was
ever consulted. It asserted agreement it never actually measured. The fixture is
now a real repository, like every sibling in the file.

A test also asserted that Windsurf declares the worktree flag. It does not --
Windsurf resolves to no isolation by design, having no named concurrent dispatch
to isolate. The test claimed a registry fact that was never true, and a comment
in the resolver repeated it. Both corrected, and the test now proves what it
should have all along: that the parser accepts any bare flag value, rather than
one runtime's supposed value.

The new guard was missing from the bundled-hook whitelist, which is the surface
that decides what actually ships, and the per-plan gate had gained calls to the
launcher without the preamble those calls require. The changeset carried
parenthetical product descriptions the purity rule forbids.

* test(#3045): make the guard tests hold on Windows

Two tests redirect HOME to control where the installer-persisted runtime default
is read from. Node resolves the home directory from USERPROFILE on Windows and
never consults HOME, so both silently read the real runner profile, found no
recorded runtime, and asserted against a project the hook had not recognised. The
production code was already correct in asking the platform rather than the
variable; only the tests were wrong to assume one variable answers everywhere.
The helpers now mirror the override onto both.

The symlink spoofing test also created a directory symlink unconditionally, which
needs elevated privileges on Windows. It survived on this runner, but it would
fail on any host without them, so the creation is now attempted and the test
skips explicitly when it cannot be done -- a bare return would have counted as a
pass and hidden the gap.

Skipping alone would have left the platform uncovered, so the behaviour it proves
is now also driven in-process through an injected realpath, following the seam
already used for the clock. That case no longer depends on privileges at all, and
the end-to-end test keeps its original assertions wherever symlinks work.
