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.

15af0f5536 enhance(#3951): B6+B7 — widen two unreachable lint rules and make the guard ledger true (#3965)
* fix(#3951): two lint rules that could not reach the code they govern

B6 names two widenings. Measuring them first turned up a defect the criterion did
not know about, and refuted the reason it gave for one of them.

1. no-adhoc-markdown-parsing self-gates on its own filename.

   Lines 107-110 short-circuit create() to {} unless the path matches
   /(?:^|\/)src\/[^/]+\.cts$/. B6 says to widen the files: glob in
   eslint.config.mjs - but doing only that ships an INERT rule, because the gate
   still returns {} for every new path. Both halves have to change, and the gate
   is the load-bearing one.

   That same regex hides a live hole: [^/]+ is FLAT-ONLY, so it requires the file
   to sit directly in src/. The registered glob is src/**/*.cts, which includes
   subdirectories. 28 .cts files - health-diagnostic-rules/ (10),
   installer-migrations/ (11), observability/ (3), host-integration-adapters/ (2),
   vendor/ (2) - are inside the registered glob and silently skipped.

   Measured with the gate neutralized: 0 violations there today. The hole is
   hiding nothing right now, and is fixed anyway, because "no violations today" is
   not a property that keeps holding.

   The fix is not invented: require-subprocess-timeout.cjs:196 already carries the
   correct form of this guard, /(?:^|\/)src\/.*\.cts$/ with .*, one directory over.
   Checked the other 21 rules for the same bug - no-adhoc-regex-escape and
   no-private-binary-resolution short-circuit only to exempt their own seam file,
   which is the right shape, and no-crlf-fragile-split has no filename gate at
   all. This bug is unique to the one rule.

2. no-adhoc-regex-escape could not see the shape that actually occurs.

   Line 396 gated the whole UNSAFE-NEW-REGEXP arm on arg.type === 'Identifier'.
   Every check below it - the _SOURCE provenance check, the
   isSoleReturnOfOwnParameter shape - lives inside that branch, so
   new RegExp(obj['key']) and new RegExp(cfg.pattern) were never examined at all.
   Runtime data arrives as a property access far more often than as a bare
   identifier, which is exactly why this rule never fired on the #3477 ReDoS.

   Widened to MemberExpression, measured by AST walk across all five registered
   blocks rather than by grep. 27 sites, zero TSAsExpression:

     18  safe new RegExp(X.source, flags)  -> exempted, keyed strictly on the
         PROPERTY being `source`, never on the object. Keying on the object would
         wave through X.anything and buy nothing. B6 estimated ~10; that was an
         undercount.
      3  _SOURCE-suffixed constants reached through a required module namespace
         (phaseId.BRACKET_PHASE_TOKEN_SOURCE) -> the same provenance-exempt class
         the rule already recognizes for bare identifiers, extended to reach them.
         Without this the widening produces 3 false flags.
      6  real findings -> marked, each a test extracting a pattern from a shipped
         file at test time, where the runtime contract IS the product.

   Deliberately the NARROW MemberExpression form. The rule's own
   isSoleReturnOfOwnParameter doc comment records that an earlier broad
   "any non-literal identifier" heuristic produced ~25 false positives and was
   rejected; a re-run of the census after this change flags exactly the 6 above
   and nothing else.

Verified by execution, not by reading: the gate now accepts src/<subdir>/x.cts,
still accepts flat src/x.cts, and still exempts paths outside src/ - each pinned
by a test proven to fail against the old regex. build:lib, lint and lint:ci all
exit 0.

* fix(#3951): give no-adhoc-markdown-parsing its reach, and fix the 80 parses it finds

The rule self-gates on filename AND is registered on one glob, so widening either
half alone is inert. Both move here: the gate now accepts tests/**/*.cjs and
scripts/**/*.cjs alongside src/**/*.cts, and eslint.config.mjs registers it on the
same two.

A test pins that the gate and the registration AGREE, in both directions. The
original defect was a gate narrower than its registration; the failure mode of
this fix is a gate wider than its registration. Both are silent, so the test
asserts the pair rather than either half.

80 violations across 43 files, all in tests/, zero in scripts/. 70 are routed
through the existing seams - scanFencedBlocks, collectSection, stripFencedCode,
tokenizeHeadings from markdown-sectionizer; splitTableRow, parseMarkdownTable,
findTableWithColumns from markdown-table. Headerless STATE.md tables use
splitTableRow per line, because parseMarkdownTable needs a real delimiter row.

10 are suppressed, 12.5%, well under the third that would have meant the rule is
mis-scoped for tests/ rather than the tests carrying debt. Each names its reason:
three regression guards (#3873 / bug-#21) are deliberately independent of the
generator's own fence handling, and routing them through the seam would have them
test the generator against itself; one is a negative-text probe that extracts
nothing; six are a shell-pipe-to-jq detector whose regex coincidentally matches the
table fingerprint and is not markdown parsing at all.

All ten sit in tests whose subject is .md content, which is normally a reason to
prefer the seam. The marker used is allow-adhoc-markdown, distinct from
no-source-grep's allow-test-rule, and lint:ci's lint-allow-test-rule-refs reports
the same 280/280 unverified count as before - checked rather than assumed, because
those two markers are easy to conflate.

The widening earned its keep immediately: it found a test that passed for the
wrong reason.

  tests/config-field-docs.test.cjs asserted notEqual(<cell>, '600') against the
  TYPE column instead of the DEFAULT column. notEqual('number', '600') is true
  forever, so the guard against workflow.subagent_timeout regressing to the old
  seconds default could never fire. docs/CONFIGURATION.md:434 is
  `| workflow.subagent_timeout | number | 300000 | ... |`, so the default is cell
  index 2; the assertion is now row-scoped through splitTableRow and reads 300000.

That is the argument for the widening in one case: the violation was invisible to
lint, the suite was green, and the assertion was vacuous. A rule that cannot reach
a file cannot tell you the file is lying.

Not fixed here, and recorded rather than assumed: #3426/#3239 are NOT reachable by
this widening. tests/package-legitimacy-gate.test.cjs yields zero violations even
with the gate bypassed - its hand-rolled scans are real, but built from line
filters and split('|') rather than the regex-literal fingerprints this rule
detects. They need new detectors. The epic assumed a wider glob would catch them.

build:lib, lint and lint:ci all exit 0; the post-fix census across tests/** and
scripts/** is 0 violations.

* fix(#3951): B7 — and #3356's defects were still live in the code

B7 asks that each closed child be driven fail-first with a behavioral identity
test at the CONSUMER's output. Four of eleven children had no test citing their
issue number. Auditing them by BEHAVIOR rather than by number-grep changed the
answer for three of the four.

#3364 and #2540 — traceability only. Both were implemented by #3941 and their
consumer-output tests exist and were shown failing-first; neither cited its
originating issue, so an audit that greps for the number reports them uncovered.
Tagged the specific asserting test in each file, following the citation form those
files already use.

#3372 — covered, but only at helper level, and the triage narrowed it. Of the four
commands the issue names, only estimate-cli's collectCalibrationSamples actually
enumerates phase dirs from disk; smart-entry, audit and roadmap-upgrade derive from
ROADMAP/body text and never reach the sentinel path, so they are benign by
construction and were left alone rather than "fixed" into churn. The existing #3882
rows asserted the helper's return value. Added a consumer-output test driving
`query estimate-calibrate` and asserting sample_count and the persisted document.
RED proof: reverted collectCalibrationSamples to a raw readdirSync and ran the real
CLI - sample_count 3, sentinel leaked; restored - sample_count 2.

#3356 — NOT covered, and BOTH halves of the defect were still live in source. The
issue is closed; the bug was not fixed. Fixed here rather than writing tests that
document a bug as correct.

  Defect 1, the contradicted row. quick.md:627 claimed
  `quick-tasks-append` performs "the equivalent write" to the Step 7c row. It did
  not: the `#` cell was a positional ordinal and `Directory` read `—`, because the
  route had no way to receive a quick id or task directory. Added OPTIONAL
  `--quick-id` / `--slug` / `--directory`. A caller with neither - fast.md, the
  original #2133 caller - omits them and gets the byte-identical prior row, so
  nothing existing changes. A caller that HAS a real id and directory now gets the
  canonical row quick.md:632 renders. The false-equivalence sentence itself is
  corrected rather than left to mislead the next reader.

  Defect 2, the forced re-derive. The route called readModifyWriteStateMd with no
  options, so a body-only append to the Quick Tasks table triggered a full
  re-derive of the disk-derived progress.* frontmatter. Every other body-only
  writer passes { resync: false } - src/state.cts's own docstring prescribes it -
  and this route was the lone outlier. RED proof: reverted the option, seeded a
  project with 2 real phase dirs and a curated total_phases of 25, ran
  quick-tasks-append; total_phases collapsed to 2. Restored; it stayed 25.

That second one is the shape this epic exists to close: a silent write that
replaces curated state with a re-derivation nobody asked for, exit 0 throughout.

build:lib, lint and lint:ci all exit 0.

* docs(#3951): amend B6's ledger to what was measured, and document the new flags

The ADR gains a ledger amendment in its own correction style - the sixth wrong
premise it records, found the same way as the other five, by measuring before
building.

B6 says the net guard count must fall. It rose: 62 -> 69, +7, measured from the
epic's filing commit to origin/next. The attribution is the point, though. Five of
the seven came from PRs unrelated to this epic, one was added by a phase of it, and
the epic did retire something sub-file - #3884 removed a detector with an explicit
"net: -1 detector, 0 added" ledger. Every named casualty is load-bearing, two
already carry retractions in this same document, and a sweep of all 22 rules plus
every scripts/lint-* found no provably dead guard. There is no honest way to make
the count fall; forcing it would trade coverage for a number, which is the Goodhart
outcome Decision 6 exists to prevent.

The amendment also records that B6's own prescribed fix for one widening was inert.
no-adhoc-markdown-parsing self-gates on its filename, so widening only the files:
glob - which is what the criterion says to do - ships a rule that still returns {}
for every new path. And #3426/#3239 are not reachable by that widening at all;
their scans use line filters and split('|'), not the regex fingerprints the rule
detects. The roster row tracked them against the wrong mechanism.

Three roster rows updated from aspiration to fact: the two widenings are DONE with
their measured counts, and lint-phase-enumeration-drift is marked RETAINED rather
than "expected casualty - verify before retiring", because Phase 5 verified it and
kept it.

The rule Decision 6 should carry forward is stated plainly: a guard ledger is a
claim about COVERAGE, not about COUNT. "Net count must fall" is measurable and
wrong. "Every guard is reachable, and each retirement names what makes its defect
unrepresentable" is the property that was actually wanted.

CLI-TOOLS.md documents the optional --quick-id/--slug/--directory flags and says
plainly that omitting them keeps the pre-#3356 row byte-identical, plus that the
append no longer re-derives progress frontmatter.

New features fragment (id 3951); FEATURES.md regenerated rather than hand-edited.
Changeset is Changed, pr:0 pending backfill.

* test(#3951): correct four rows that pinned the lint rule's old narrow reach

The remote suite came back RED with 5 failures, all in tests/eslint-rules.test.cjs.
They are stale tests, not a regression: four rows assert that
no-adhoc-markdown-parsing is inert outside src/*.cts, which is exactly the
contract this deliverable changes.

Confirmed by reading rather than inferred from the names - the row at :1981 used
filename: 'tests/some.test.cjs' and filename: 'scripts/helper.cjs', the two roots
the rule now covers on purpose.

Worth recording WHY local gates missed this. npm run lint and lint:ci were green,
and the touched test files passed standalone. Lint only reports violations in real
files; these rows assert the rule's REACH using synthetic RuleTester filenames, so
nothing but the full suite could see them. Local green on a rule change says
nothing about the rule's own tests.

Each row is rewritten with BOTH halves rather than flipped from valid to invalid:

  - the same fingerprint under tests/ or scripts/ is now flagged, with the right
    messageId
  - the negative space is preserved - the same fingerprint under a path outside
    all three roots (gsd-core/bin/lib/foo.cjs) is still NOT flagged

The second half is the one that matters. Without it the rule has no boundary and
nothing would catch an over-wide gate later, which is the mirror image of the bug
this deliverable just fixed.

Each row is renamed to state the current contract; the old names said
"non-src/*.cts ... is not flagged" and would have been actively misleading once
the bodies changed.

Proven to test the widening rather than restate it: every flagged half was run
against HEAD~2's pre-widening rule and does NOT fire there, then against the
current rule and does. 12/12 on that probe; the full file is 178/178.

Swept for the same staleness elsewhere and found none.
require-subprocess-timeout's own "inert outside src/*.cts" row is untouched -
that rule's gate was not widened here - and no-adhoc-regex-escape's test file
already carries correctly-targeted rows.

* test(#3951): acknowledge the quick.md growth the attribution guard reported

The full suite came back RED with one failure, and it is mine:

  1 file(s) grew without an acknowledgment:
    quick.md grew 364 bytes

gsd-core/workflows/quick.md is runtime-loaded emitted content, so correcting
its false 'performs the equivalent write' claim trips emitted-attribution by
construction. This is the acknowledgment, not a workaround - there is nothing
to regenerate.

The fragment names ONE path, which is the only one the guard reported. The four
spent acknowledgments it also listed (audit-uat, plan-phase, progress, review)
belong to other fragments whose ripple the base already absorbs; they are inert,
not failures, and are deliberately NOT copied here - naming paths I did not
change would make this record false in the other direction.

Byte figure corrected before committing: the guard reported 37220 -> 37584
(+364), but origin/next has since moved and quick.md is 37232 there now, so the
measured delta is +352. The reason text says so and names the base as a moving
figure rather than pinning a number that is already stale.

Refs #3951

* test(#3951): move the quick.md growth ack to a trailer, delete the obsolete fragment

The acknowledgment mechanism changed under this branch. Merging next brought in
the redesign - it also deleted .github/workflows/ack-fragment-sweep.yml, which
was in the merge status and which I did not register at the time - and the guard
now says so directly:

  Add a trailer to a commit in this PR (never a new file).
    Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: quick.md - <why this growth is deliberate>

So tests/emitted-drift-acks/3951-quick-append-equivalence.json is obsolete on
arrival. A fragment file is no longer read by anything, and leaving it would be a
dead record that looks like an active one. It is deleted here rather than kept
"just in case".

The byte figure moved again with the merge: 37232 -> 37596, +364. The earlier
fragment said +352, measured before the merge auto-merged quick.md itself. The
trailer carries no number, which is the better design - the figure was stale
twice in two attempts.

Refs #3951

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: quick.md — #3356/#3951 replaces a false claim with an accurate one. Line 627 said the `quick-tasks-append` shortcut "performs the equivalent write" to the Step 7c row rendered above it; it did not, and that was the documented half of #3356 — with no quick id or task directory the route emitted a positional ordinal in `#` and an em-dash in `Directory`, a visibly different row. The corrected sentence has to carry three facts the original elided: what the shortcut actually writes when it has neither input, that this is honest behavior for its real caller (`fast.md`, which has neither), and how a caller with both now gets the byte-identical canonical row via the new optional `--quick-id`/`--slug`/`--directory` flags. Prose is the product here — an executing agent reads this line to decide whether the shortcut is safe for its case, and a shorter correction would either drop the flags (leaving the reader unable to act on the fix) or drop the limitation (recreating the false claim in gentler words).

285cd41be0 fix(#3206): define "explicit evidence" inline at verifier 5b; repair stale honest-verifier cites (#3435)
* fix(#3206): define "explicit evidence" inline at verifier 5b; repair stale honest-verifier cites

Step 3 item 5b abstained on non-inferable (backstop) truths "unless
confirmed by explicit evidence" with the term undefined — its definition
lived only in the non-included gsd-core/references/honest-verifier.md,
behind a stale bare `references/` cite that 404s. Undefined, the term
falls back to presence + wiring, the exact false-pass the #1154
abstention protocol refuses.

- 5b: inline the compressed definition (a passing wired
  held-out/property-based test or directly observed behavior; presence +
  wiring never qualifies) and fix the cite. +84 B on the rewritten line;
  file lands at 49,151 of the 49,152 LARGE cap.
- verifier-phase-gates.md (already <required_reading>): gains the
  backstop-abstention reporting contract — AFK completion line
  ("complete with N unverified non-inferable checks", never silent,
  never a halt) and reason-distinctness (insufficient_spec vs manual-UAT
  human_needed). New content, no relocation of measured prose.
- 5c (line 204) and MVP-mode (line 644) bare cites repaired to
  gsd-core/references/ (+9 B each).
- Drift acks per ADR-2719 §4; two entries merge-appended into existing
  fragments (two ack sources may never name the same path).
- Changeset fragment with the sanctioned pr: 0 placeholder (post-create
  backfill).

Sibling census at next@7976b1ca0: 7 bare-cite instances in 4 agent
files; the 3 in gsd-verifier.md are fixed here, gsd-executor.md:429,439
and gsd-doc-synthesizer.md:20,176 stay with the epic #1891 follow-up.

Refs #1891

* chore(#3206): set changeset fragment pr to 3435

* fix(#3206): drop stale emitted-drift-ack entries that trip the ADR-2719 ratchet

The round's ack bookkeeping explained ripples that were already
self-attributed, so `tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs` failed
deterministically on the PR head with 5 stale acknowledgments.

`agents/gsd-verifier.md` and `gsd-core/references/verifier-phase-gates.md`
appear directly in `git diff --name-only`, so PROVENANCE_RULES attributes
their emitted deltas without an ack; `agents/gsd-verifier.agent.md`,
`agents/gsd-verifier.toml` and `agents/subagents/gsd-verifier.md` are
derived emissions of a changed source and are attributed the same way.
None of the five entries could ever be consumed, so all five were stale.

Removed: the whole `3206-verifier-explicit-evidence.json` fragment (all
four entries) and the `#3206 append` to `0000-legacy-migration.json`.

Deliberately KEPT: the `#3206 append` to
`1955-verifier-coincidental-reliance.json`. Its `gsd-verifier.md` entry is
consumed by the size-growth ratchet, not the hash pass — the agent grew
49049 -> 49151 bytes, and `diffEmitted` treats a base-identical ack as
spent and excludes it from `ackEntries`. Reverting that append as well
turns the stale-ack failure into `1 file(s) grew without an
acknowledgment` (verified both ways locally).

* fix(#3206): compress 5b and re-acknowledge growth after rebase onto next

The rebase onto next (159145435, PR #3558) invalidated two things at once:

- #3558 grew agents/gsd-verifier.md to 49,098 bytes, leaving 54 bytes of
  LARGE-cap headroom where this PR's +102 no longer fits. Compressed the
  5b rewrite to +34 net by dropping the trailing honest-verifier cite —
  superseded by the now-inline definition; honest-verifier.md stays
  cited at the adjacent 5c line. File lands at 49,150 (2 under the cap).
- #3558 deleted tests/emitted-drift-acks/1955-verifier-coincidental-
  reliance.json, which carried this PR's growth acknowledgment, and its
  own 3409 fragment now names gsd-verifier.md. Re-homed the #3206 growth
  ack as an append to that entry (two ack sources may never name the
  same path).

The changeset is updated to match: two bare references/ cites repaired
(5c honest-verifier.md, MVP-mode verify-mvp-mode.md), the third (5b's)
superseded by the inline definition rather than repaired.

Reversion controls: restoring the uncompressed 5b fails
agent-size-budget.test.cjs (LARGE hard cap); reverting the ack append
fails emitted-attribution.test.cjs (differential attribution over the
real tree, GSD_EMITTED_BASE=upstream/next). Both re-verified green at
this tree: 213/213 (size + attribution), 992/992 across the 14 suites
reading the touched files.

e57e3b5d6e chore(#3502): widen no-source-grep, close four measured blind spots (#3505)
Phase 3 of #3464, following #3465 and #3466. Those phases cut the exemption
ceiling 305 -> 278 by removing vestigial markers and rewriting real
source-greps behaviorally. This one addresses why the ratchet was weak in the
first place: it counts markers, and markers correlated only loosely with
violations, because the rule's implementation was far narrower than its intent.

Four gaps, each measured against 833 files under tests/ before any code was
written:

  A  TEXT_METHODS omitted matchAll, split and replace, and never handled the
     regex-side form re.test(tracked) / /lit/.test(tracked) where the tracked
     value is the ARGUMENT rather than the callee object.
  B  The extension test was /\.(?:cjs|js|ts)/, which does not match .cts,
     .mts or .mjs. Under ADR-457 this repo's production modules live in
     src/**/*.cts, so the rule has been structurally blind to the entire
     TypeScript source surface since that migration. Highest-value fix here.
  C  Tracking stopped at one hop, so an intermediate transform
     (const b = strip(a); b.match(...)) escaped.
  D  Variables were tracked by NAME in a flat Set<string>, with no scope
     resolution, so a name reused across describe/test blocks was conflated.

D removes one verified false positive where an outer `const src =
readFileSync(...)` was cross-attributed to a shadowed arrow-function parameter
of the same name.

Deliberately NOT implemented: flagging reads whose path cannot be statically
resolved. Measured at 4255 sites across 255 files, 66 of them newly red, with a
6-of-6 false-positive rate in spot-checking -- every sampled site read a
markdown workflow or fixture doc through a path variable, not JS source. The
heuristic "no JS extension literal present" inverts to "not a source file" in
this codebase. Shipping it would have manufactured exactly the marker-spam
dynamic this epic exists to stop. The principled version needs real static
resolution (constant-folding path.join and template literals) and is left to a
future phase.

The widening surfaced two genuinely-invisible violations, handled on their
merits rather than uniformly:

  tests/verifier-behavior-unverified.test.cjs read src/verification.cts and
  regexed it for the VERIFIER_STATUSES array. Fixed BEHAVIORALLY with no
  marker: that constant is already exported, so the test now asserts the real
  runtime value -- strictly stronger, and immune to source formatting.
  Mutation-checked: injecting present_behavior_unverified into the exported
  array turns it red, restoring turns it green.

  tests/adr-index-gate.test.cjs scans src/plan-drift-guard.cts for
  docs/adr/<name>.md citations and asserts each cited ADR exists. Those
  citations live in COMMENTS, erased at compile time: no exported value, no
  runtime observable, and making it behavioral would mean contorting production
  code into exporting its own documentation citations. Irreducible, so it takes
  one marker, cited to #3502, stating exactly why. Documenting a real exemption
  beats leaving the violation invisible, which was the status quo.

Two defects in this branch's own work, both found by review and fixed here
rather than shipped:

  FALSE POSITIVE (adversarial review). Hop propagation walked every Identifier
  in a declarator init and treated any reference to a tracked variable as
  derivation, regardless of whether the derived VALUE still carried source
  text. So `const len = raw.length; /^\d+$/.test(len)` was reported as a
  source-grep. Propagation is now value-shape aware: it follows identity,
  string-returning string methods, split/join, template embedding, string
  concatenation, conditional branches and call arguments; it stops at .length,
  numeric methods (indexOf/search/charCodeAt), boolean methods
  (includes/startsWith/test), comparisons, negation, typeof, and
  Number/parseInt/Boolean coercions. Unrecognized shapes still propagate --
  the conservative default for a linter is a rarer false positive over a silent
  false negative, and that choice is documented inline. Seven RuleTester rows
  now cover this axis, which was previously untested.

  SUPER-QUADRATIC SCAN (security review). resolveVariable() resolved each
  identifier with two linear Array.find passes over scope.references and
  scope.variables, once per identifier walked -- O(vars-in-scope) per lookup.
  On a synthetic single-scope file of N consts each referencing ~20 priors:
  4.76s at N=3000 and 24.32s at N=6000 (~5.1x for 2x N). Replaced with a
  Map<IdentifierNode, Variable> built once per file, lazily, from the scope
  manager: 0.19s and 0.37s for the same inputs (~1.95x for 2x N, linear).
  Semantics unchanged. No measurable effect on the real repo either way, but
  this is exactly the bug class ADR-3212 / local/no-unbounded-quantifier
  exists to catch, and this repo has a prior incident where a rule written to
  catch complexity bugs shipped with one of its own.

The per-widening measurement had a flaw worth recording: each widening was
measured in isolation, so a site needing TWO at once appeared in neither
column, and the UNION column was dominated by the rejected dynamic-path noise
and never inspected for interactions. adr-index-gate needs both B (.cts) and A
(.matchAll) and was missed for exactly that reason. Real newly-red count was 2,
not the 1 predicted. Corrected on #3502 rather than quietly amended.

Marker-bearing files 277 -> 278 against an unchanged ceiling of 278. The
ceiling is NOT raised: the sole addition is the cited irreducible exemption.

27 RuleTester rows cover the change. The valid rows carry as much weight as the
invalid ones -- shadowed same-name bindings, sibling block scopes, .md and
.json literal reads, dynamic path variables, non-textual derivations, reads
never text-searched, and require() of a .cjs must all stay valid. A widening
that flagged those would be worse than the status quo, because it would push
contributors toward adding markers to silence noise.

Known limit, documented rather than papered over: a tracked value round-tripped
through an array or object literal and read back via destructuring is still not
tracked. Pre-existing, not introduced here, and deliberately not widened for --
closing it means tracking member identity, with its own false-positive surface.

Closes #3502

69e7afd0c7 chore(#3212): bounded quantifiers over document content — prohibition with teeth — Phase 4 (#3441)
* feat(#3415): ship local/no-unbounded-quantifier, burn down ReDoS class

Phase 4 of epic #3212 (ADR-3212 §5/§7, the final phase). New rule flags
an unbounded */+/{n,} quantifier over a broad character class
([\s\S], dotAll ., or a 1-2-unit negated class like [^\n]/[^)\n] — the
exact #2128-fixed shape) applied to a regex whose match target is
data-flow-traced to readFileSync content.

eslint-rules/lib/readfilesync-trace.cjs extracts the data-flow tracer
shared with no-crlf-fragile-split (Phase 2) rather than a second copy
— no-crlf-fragile-split refactored onto it with zero behavior change,
parity-tested.

Real triage, not 798 mechanical edits: the ADR's census (2026-08-08)
screened every unbounded quantifier in the tree unscoped. Correctly
scoped to readFileSync-derived content (matching Phase 2's own G2/G3
scoping), the rule found 162 real hits across two detection waves — the
second wave (93) surfaced only after a genuine off-by-one bug in this
rule's own first draft was caught while writing its RuleTester tests
and fixed (the bug silently missed every directly-quantified [\s\S]*
with no gap before the quantifier — exactly the class this rule exists
to catch). 3 hits landed in production src/ (commands.cts, milestone.cts,
roadmap.cts) and were each empirically timed against adversarial input
(matching #2128's own measured-not-assumed precedent) — all confirmed
linear-time/benign, left unbounded with a measured-evidence comment
rather than mechanically bounded. The remaining 159 are test-file
fixture parsing (test-author-controlled, fixed-size content, not
adversarial input) — each suppressed with a specific, non-generic
reason. Zero functional behavior changed anywhere in this diff.

tests/no-pending-3212-markers.test.cjs locks the epic's own closing
invariant (ADR §7: "assert zero pending #3212 markers remain") — ground
truth confirmed trivially true today (no phase left any such marker
behind), now regression-locked going forward.

* fix(#3415): correct rule category mislabel, add CI test-scope entry

An orthogonal Standards-axis review found eslint-rules/no-unbounded-quantifier.cjs
mistakenly carried meta.docs.category: 'Portability', copied from a sibling
rule without realizing what that implied: docs/contributing/cross-platform-
portability-rules.md governs an ADR-1703 rule family under a hard "zero
escape hatches" contract (tests/portability-rule-disable-ban.test.cjs's
PROTECTED_RULES bans eslint-disable for those rules entirely). This rule is
not part of that family — it's ADR-3212 (ReDoS/CWE-1333), a different epic —
and its eslint-disable-next-line suppressions (159 of them, added earlier
this same phase after empirical benign-verification) are an intentional,
correct design, not a bypass. Corrected to category: 'Best Practices',
matching the actual precedent (no-adhoc-regex-escape.cjs, Phase 1 of the
same epic, which is also correctly outside PROTECTED_RULES), and the rule's
own docstring now states this explicitly so a future reader doesn't have to
re-derive it.

Also registers a new scripts/ci-test-scope.cjs bucket so editing this rule
or the shared eslint-rules/lib/readfilesync-trace.cjs helper re-runs their
own test suites under targeted CI selection — was previously unregistered
and invisible to that fast-path (this PR's own gsd-test checkpoint runs the
full suite regardless, so this only affects future narrowly-scoped PRs).

* fix(#3415): bound no-unbounded-quantifier's own scanner (CWE-1333, ironic)

Security review found the rule meant to catch algorithmic-complexity bugs
had one of its own: hasUnboundedBroadQuantifier's negated-class inner
scan walked from each `[^` occurrence to the next `]` (or EOF) with no
bound, while the outer loop only ever advanced by one character — O(n²)
total work on a pattern with many unclosed `[^` runs. Runs unconditionally
inside checkPattern on any `new RegExp('literal string')` argument in any
linted file, before the (cheap) readFileSync data-flow gate — so a single
crafted string literal, no valid regex syntax required, could make
`npm run lint` / CI hang.

Empirically confirmed both the bug and the fix: pre-fix, n=4000/8000/
16000/32000 chars took 30.8/115.6/463.8/1874.3ms (~4x work per 2x n,
quadratic); extrapolated, the 300000-char repro from the finding would
run ~165s. Post-fix (bail the inner scan once units exceeds the rule's
own 1-2-unit scope, rather than continuing to hunt for a closing `]`),
the same 300000-char input runs in 8.7ms via the real rule module,
independently reconfirmed at 18ms via a fresh Linter.verify() call.

New regression row in tests/no-unbounded-quantifier.rule.test.cjs
asserts the RuleTester run on a 50000-char adversarial pattern
completes and returns a defined result — no wall-clock assertion
(CLAUDE.md Clock Seams / local/no-elapsed-assertion).

* fix(#3415): triage 3 new sites, re-raise ceiling after upstream batch

next merged 12 more PRs during this PR's review. Two consequences:

- tests/edit-phase.test.cjs (fix #3262, unrelated) added 3 new
  content.match(/<tag>([\s\S]*?)<\/tag>/) reads of this repo's own
  workflow .md content — the same Class A pattern as the ~159 sites
  already triaged elsewhere in this PR. Suppressed with the same
  established reason.
- lint-allow-test-rule-refs' ratchet ceiling needed re-raising again
  (301 -> 303) for the same reason as the two prior bumps: organic
  growth from unrelated, already-reviewed PRs landing concurrently,
  not a defect in this branch's own diff.

d0bacc2517 fix(#2351): replace hardcoded timeout with portable run-with-timeout (#2426)
* fix(#2351): replace hardcoded gnu timeout with portable run-with-timeout

Stock macOS ships neither `timeout` nor `gtimeout` (GNU coreutils). The 10
hardcoded `timeout <n> <cmd>` calls across the workflow/agent/reference gates
exited 127 ("command not found") on such hosts, and the gates — which only
distinguish 0/124/other — misreported a passing build or test as a FAILURE.

Fix: a single Node-based `gsd_run run-with-timeout <secs> [--] <cmd…>` verb in
gsd-tools.cjs. Coreutils-independent (stock macOS AND Windows), keeps GNU
`timeout`'s exit-code contract (124 timeout, passthrough, 127/126 ENOENT/EACCES,
128+signum on signal), inherits stdio so pipes/redirects work, and reaps the
whole process group so a watch-mode runner cannot outlive its budget. Runs
before gsd-tools' flag parsing so the wrapped argv stays opaque.

Hardened per adversarial review:
- On timeout, SIGKILL the group SYNCHRONOUSLY before resolving — a descendant
  that traps SIGTERM was otherwise orphaned holding stdout, hanging captured
  gates (the exact watch-mode hang the feature prevents).
- Forward SIGINT/SIGTERM to the child tree instead of dying and orphaning it.
- Reject blank/whitespace <seconds> (was a silent unbounded run); clamp the
  timer to the 32-bit setTimeout ceiling (was a spurious immediate timeout).
- Lint detector: catch GNU long options / `-k5` / `$((...))`; anchor to command
  position so prose "timeout 30 seconds" no longer false-positives.

Resolution lives once in the CLI; all 10 sites call the shared verb. A parity
guard (scripts/lint-portable-timeout.cjs, wired into lint:ci) fails the build if
a bare `timeout`/`gtimeout` execution reappears (the portable `command -v
timeout` probe form is intentionally allowed). Also fixes the identical bug in
the zh-CN checkpoints translation, updates the tests that asserted the old
strings, trims a redundant phrase in gsd-verifier.md to keep it under its size
hard cap, and refreshes the size baselines + golden install-parity fixtures.

cb7ca4f3dc test(#1976): consolidate 17 agent regression tests into agent-contract suites
Fold 17 issue-named agent-markdown regression files into their canonical agent
suites: agent-frontmatter (shared agent-body-contract catch-all: read-loop guards,
retired-slash-ref bans, sycophancy hardening, doc-writer/code-fixer/review-fix/mapper
contracts, write-truncation), planner-language-regression (planner directive/grep/phase
contract), executor-mvp-tdd-section, verifier-behavior-unverified, intel, and
research-agent-profiles. Verbatim block-scoped describe wrappers; 98 subtests conserved
1:1. All unit (markdown-content) tests — no CLI/env surface. No new files.

Regenerates regression-name allowlist (222->207), ratchets file-count allowlist (intel
entry removed, phase 4->3), makes 13 relocated allow-test-rule exemptions issue-ref-
compliant (ADR-456; prunes stale ids). No CONTEXT.md/ADR refs named the moved files.
lint:ci green.

Part of epic #1969. Closes #1976.

0a856f06cd enh(#966): gate behavior-dependent truths on behavioral evidence in gsd-verifier (#1271)
* enh(#966): gate behavior-dependent truths on behavioral evidence in gsd-verifier

Introduce a per-truth PRESENT_BEHAVIOR_UNVERIFIED state for must-haves that assert a state transition or a cancellation/cleanup/ordering invariant whose only evidence is symbol presence + wiring. Such truths are excluded from the verified_truths score, reported as a behavior_unverified count, recorded in an always-on behavior_unverified_items frontmatter list, and routed to the existing human_needed sink — so a clean N/N can no longer be reached on symbol presence alone.

The overall-status vocabulary and the src/verification.cts seam are unchanged (the new state is per-truth only); gaps_found keeps decision-tree precedence; override-passed truths still count toward verified_truths. Mirrors the calibration into the shipped verify-phase.md workflow (with an infra/foundation carve-out), the VERIFICATION.md templates, and docs (planning-artifacts.md, AGENTS.md). gsd-verifier.md kept under its 48KB LARGE cap; size baselines regenerated.

Closes #966
