041414c4ad feat(#3309): generate health.md's error-code and repair-action tables
Closes the issue's explicit acceptance criterion: "health.md's tables
are generated rather than hand-maintained, closing the 16-vs-30+
documentation gap structurally." The published roster listed 16 codes
against 30+ actually emitted; W010-W017 and W020-W023 had never been
documented.

Adds description/repairable as static fields on Rule (health-diagnostic-types.cts)
— generation needs a fixed, human-readable summary per code, distinct
from the dynamic per-instance Diagnostic.message a rule's check()
produces. repairable is true only when --repair will actually apply
the remedy: false for ADVISE-only rules AND for DESTRUCTIVE-risk rules
(regenerateState/resetConfig), which are described but never
auto-applied — matches verify.cts's diagnosticToIssueEntry semantics
exactly, after fixing E004/E005's static field to agree with it (both
were wrongly true, an inconsistency caught during this same commit's
own review, not left for later).

New scripts/gen-health-docs.cjs (--write/--check, wired into
lint:generated-sync) regenerates the two tagged table regions in
gsd-core/workflows/health.md from RULES (31 rules) plus the 3
pre-checks that stay outside the rule table by design (E001, E010,
I010) plus a small static Effect/Risk lookup for the 6 real repair
actions — including addAiIntegrationPhaseKey, live in code since an
earlier phase but never documented until now. 34 error-code rows, 6
repair-action rows. The table's old "grep verify.cts for the next free
number" footnote is rewritten to point at the rule table and its lint
guard instead.

8e1ff76204 refactor(#3309): consolidate adviseRemedy() into the shared types leaf
adviseRemedy() was defined identically in two of the eight rule-group
files (config-validation.cts, agent-install.cts) while the other six
repeated the same {action: ADVISE, risk: NONE, args: {command}} object
literal inline ~20+ times. Found by the Standards-axis orthogonal
review (Duplicated Code smell).

Moves the one-line helper into health-diagnostic-types.cts, the leaf
module every rule-group file already imports for its enums/types, and
uses it consistently across all 8 files. Pure mechanical refactor — no
ADVISE remedy's command text, code, or action changed.

03258a07a2 fix(#3309): applyRepairs must not count a failed repair as applied
applyRepairs pushed a diagnostic's code onto applied unconditionally
after the try/catch around runRepairAction, even when the handler
threw (caught, recorded in details with success:false) or otherwise
failed — making applied mean "attempted" rather than "succeeded," with
no test exercising the failure path. Found by the Spec-axis orthogonal
review.

applied now only receives a code when the repair actually succeeded;
a failed attempt is still fully recorded in details (success:false,
the error message) but no longer misreported as applied. Adds a
regression test forcing addNyquistKey to throw (ENOENT on a config.json
that doesn't exist) and asserts it lands in details, not applied.

1255f960db fix(#3309): restore W027's active-worktree exclusion
The migrated checkW027 (stale worktree) dropped the pre-migration
exclusion of the CLI's own current worktree, since a Rule.check(snapshot)
has no cwd access (§8.1 rule 1 forbids ambient I/O) — flagged as a
disclosed regression during this phase's own design work, then
confirmed as a real, fixable gap by the Spec-axis orthogonal review
rather than an inherent limitation.

Fixes it properly instead of accepting the regression: buildPlanningSnapshot(cwd)
already receives cwd as its own input, so exposing it as snapshot.cwd
is not new ambient I/O, just surfacing an existing parameter — fully
consistent with §8.1 rule 2's "parsed value" allowance. checkW027 now
excludes the entry matching snapshot.cwd before flagging, matching the
original verify.cts:2233-2242 behavior exactly.

9f8bcfa3a6 docs(#3309): disclose hardcoded-slash-command fidelity reduction consistently
root-existence.cts (E002, E003) and phase-structure.cts (W009) hardcode
a canonical hyphen-form slash command in their ADVISE remedy, same as
config-validation.cts's already-disclosed W016 — forced by §8.1 rule 1
(a Rule's check(snapshot) cannot call the runtime-resolved slash()
formatter, which needs cwd). Only config-validation.cts's own header
disclosed this tradeoff; the other two sites had it happen without
recording it in their own file. Adds the same disclosure to both,
matching the established convention. No behavior change.

d1760e3c31 refactor(#3309): migrate cmdValidateHealth onto the rule table
Replaces cmdValidateHealth's hand-rolled addIssue/switch accumulation
(961 lines) with buildPlanningSnapshot -> evaluateRules -> map to the
legacy {code, message, fix, repairable} shape, bucketed by severity.
Two pre-checks (home-dir E010/I010, .planning/-root-missing E001) stay
outside the rule table entirely, per ADR-3180 §8.2 rule 4 ("no
precedence system") — building "some rules suppress others" into the
table would itself be the forbidden precedence system.

W024 (STATE.md commit-age freshness) also stays outside the table:
its committed rule is a documented permanent no-op (readStateHeadFreshness's
git-log shell-out is ambient I/O a Rule.check may never perform, and no
PlanningSnapshot field carries a commits-behind count). Migrating onto
the rule table as designed would have silently regressed 7 passing
tests in tests/health-validation.test.cjs — found while wiring this
function, kept as a real check in the wrapper instead (same I/O
license applyRepairs already relies on), fixed inline per this repo's
no-defer policy rather than accepted as a silent loss.

Ports the real repair-handler bodies (createConfig/resetConfig,
regenerateState, addNyquistKey/addAiIntegrationPhaseKey,
backfillMilestones) into health-diagnostic.cts's applyRepairs,
replacing the skeleton's stub. DESTRUCTIVE-risk remedies
(resetConfig/regenerateState) are refused by --repair — a disclosed
breaking change; repairable now means "an automatic repair will
actually run," not merely "a remedy exists to describe," so E004/E005
now report repairable:false. --backfill alone now actually triggers
backfillMilestones, fixing a latent bug where its gate was unreachable
without --repair also being set (verify.cts:2504, confirmed dead code
pre-migration).

Test updates distinguish the two explicitly-authorized behavior
changes (DESTRUCTIVE refusal, backfill-alone fix, W021->W026 split)
from preservation — every changed assertion is commented with why, and
new regression tests were added for both changes plus W021/W026
mutual independence. Drift-guard bookkeeping (bypass-baseline shrunk
to the one disclosed W024 exception, milestone-window and
phase-enumeration exemptions, test-file-count allowlist) updated for
the relocated/new functions this migration introduces.

e0021a2fed refactor(#3309): extract health-diagnostic-types leaf module, wire RULES
Wiring all 8 rule-group files into health-diagnostic.cts's RULES array
created a genuine CJS circular dependency: each group file required
health-diagnostic.cjs back for the shared enums, and health-diagnostic.cjs
now required the group files forward, so the enums were undefined
mid-load (destructuring health-diagnostic.cjs's still-unassigned
exports).

Fixes it by splitting the enums/types (SEVERITY, REMEDY_ACTION,
REMEDY_RISK, Remedy, Diagnostic, Rule) into a dependency-free leaf
module, health-diagnostic-types.cts, that both sides import instead of
each other. health-diagnostic.cts re-exports the enums for existing
consumers. RULES is now the real concatenation of all 8 groups (31
codes — E001 intentionally stays a pre-check outside the table).

c5543e533c refactor(#3309): extend planning-snapshot.cts with 8 more parsed fields
Phase 11 of epic #3180 (ADR-3180 §8.1 rule 2). PlanningSnapshot grows from
7 fields to 15: projectSections, statePhaseTokens, stateStatus,
roadmapDeclaredPhases, roadmapPhaseCheckboxes, researchValidationStatus,
milestoneArchiveStatus, planningRootFiles.

Every field is a reused owner (buildRoadmapPhaseVariants/
buildNotStartedPhaseVariants from src/validate.cts, stateFieldValue) or a
small relocation of already-working verify.cts logic (PHASE_NUMBER_TOKEN_SOURCE
scanning, the checkMilestonePrefixMismatches sectionRx walk, W009/W018's
file-existence checks) — never a new algorithm, and never raw document text:
§8.1 rule 2 forbids exposing raw text, not exposing a parsed list or boolean
derived from it once by the snapshot builder.

roadmapPhaseCheckboxes deliberately reads the same ROADMAP checkbox
isPhaseComplete (§7.4, disk-strict) refuses to consult — that owner decides
completion and must not read it; this field only exposes what the checkbox
says, for a diagnostic (W011) whose whole purpose is flagging disagreement.
Not a re-derivation of §7.4, recorded explicitly to prevent that reading.

Adds PROJECT_UNREADABLE to UNUSABLE_REASON (ninth #1879 site), closing a
gap the implementing agent correctly flagged rather than silently leaving
absent-vs-corrupt collapsed for PROJECT.md, matching the STATE_UNREADABLE/
CONFIG_UNREADABLE precedent from this same effort's prior commits.

currentPhaseLabel/statePhaseTokens/stateStatus share one STATE.md read
(buildStateFields) rather than three independent reads.

Additive only — all prior fields and worstScope/buildPhaseSnapshot
unchanged.

6aa378b261 refactor(#3309): extend planning-snapshot.cts with config/agentInstall/worktreeHealth
Phase 11 of epic #3180 (ADR-3180 §8.2/§8.3/§8.5) foundation. Extends the
already-merged Phase-10 PlanningSnapshot additively with three fields the
upcoming health-diagnostic rule table needs and Phase 10 never required:

- config: {value, scope, exists} — parsed .planning/config.json. `exists`
  distinguishes absent (no diagnostic, non-answer) from present-but-invalid
  (CONFIG_UNREADABLE diagnostic, corruption) — both collapse to scope
  UNREADABLE, so a rule needs the extra bit to tell "not configured yet"
  apart from "config.json is broken."
- agentInstall / worktreeHealth — not .planning/-sourced, wrap the existing
  checkAgentsInstalled/inspectWorktreeHealth owners with the same arguments
  cmdValidateHealth already passes them, so a later migration step reads
  these fields instead of calling the owners itself.

Adds CONFIG_UNREADABLE to src/unusable-input.cts's UNUSABLE_REASON (eighth
#1879 site), mirroring STATE_UNREADABLE's exact shape from Phase 10.

Additive only — the four Phase-10 fields and worstScope/buildPhaseSnapshot
are unchanged; existing tests for them are untouched.

* test(#3170): extractOneLinerFromBody must anchor to a summary-shaped heading

Regression for #3170: the function matched the first heading's first bold
run, so an incidental first heading (rule list, deviation notes) contributed
its bold text as the milestone accomplishment. Rows 1/2 fail RED on next; rows
3/4 guard Overview recognition and the #2660 Summary-heading form.

* fix(#3170): anchor milestone one-liner extraction to a summary-shaped heading

extractOneLinerFromBody matched the first heading's first bold run regardless
of section, so an incidental first heading (rule list, deviation notes)
contributed its bold text as the milestone accomplishment written into
MILESTONES.md. Iterate headings and extract from the first Summary/Overview/
Accomplishments one with a bold run, falling back to null when none exists.
The #2660 Summary-heading forms and the frontmatter one-liner precedence are
preserved.

* docs(#3170): add changeset

* test(#3170): align extractOneLinerFromBody unit fixtures with summary-heading contract

The core-utils unit fixtures used generic # Title headings encoding the old
'any first heading' contract; the #3170 fix anchors to a Summary/Overview/
Accomplishments heading (the function is summary-specific). Update the
heading text to Summary-shaped; the extraction assertions (bold, frontmatter
strip, colon-label, CRLF, unicode) are unchanged.

2538fd6344 refactor(#3308): add planning-snapshot.cts parsed projection per ADR-3180 §8.1
Phase 10 of epic #3180. src/planning-snapshot.cts is a new parsed
projection of .planning/, composed exclusively from the already-
consolidated §7 owners (getMilestoneInfo, listMilestonePhaseDirs,
isPhaseComplete, scanPhasePlans, stateFieldValue, planningPaths) plus
the frozen SCOPE enum. No new semantic derivation is introduced beyond
worstScope, a pure combinator folding several independently-scoped
owner answers into one composite signal.

Adds STATE_UNREADABLE to src/unusable-input.cts's UNUSABLE_REASON
(seventh #1879 site) for STATE.md exists-but-unreadable, distinct
from absent.

Adds scripts/lint-planning-snapshot-bypass-drift.cjs, a ratcheted
drift guard (ADR-3180 Decision 4(e)) scoped to DIAGNOSTIC_RULE_FUNCTIONS
(currently cmdValidateHealth in src/verify.cts only) preventing new
raw .planning/ reads from bypassing the snapshot, while acknowledging
cmdValidateHealth's existing 15 raw-read sites as debt owned by
Phase 11 (#3309).

Six-gate .cts ripple: .gitignore, eslint.config.mjs,

* test(#3163): phase add must insert in the active milestone, not the trailing archive

Regression for #3163: cmdPhaseAdd/cmdPhaseAddBatch pick the insertion point
via rawContent.lastIndexOf('\n---'), the file's last horizontal rule — which
on a roadmap with shipped/history material after the active phase list sits
deep in archive. Rows 1/2/4 fail RED on next (entry lands after the archive
heading); row 3 guards the no-milestone legacy fallback.

cmdPhaseAdd and cmdPhaseAddBatch picked the insertion point via

a roadmap with shipped/history material after the active phase list sits deep
in archive. Extract phaseEntryInsertOffset(rawContent, cwd): scope the search
to currentMilestoneRawRanges' primary window so the entry lands at the end of
the active phase list. Fall back to the legacy whole-file heuristic when no
current milestone resolves, preserving simple no-milestone roadmaps. Applies
to both cmdPhaseAdd and cmdPhaseAddBatch (identical expression); the decimal
insert path was already header-anchored and is untouched.

3ff9a7ffcd fix(#2570): parse leading date from last_activity so stale_activity fires with a description suffix (#2571)
* fix(#2570): parse leading date from last_activity so stale_activity fires with a description suffix

templates/state.md prescribes `Last activity: [YYYY-MM-DD] — [What happened]`,
and gsd-core's own STATE.md mirrors that suffix into frontmatter. Date.parse on
the whole string returned NaN, and because staleActivity treats null as "not
stale" (fails open), the only idle/staleness detector never fired on any project
whose last_activity kept its description.

parseActivityTimestamp now reads the leading ISO date/time token when a
whole-string parse fails, validating the calendar date (ADR-227: reject an
impossible date rather than let Date.parse roll it forward) and preferring the
whole-string parse when it succeeds so a trailing zone name is not dropped.

Composes with #3099 (LAST_ACTIVITY_UNPARSEABLE diagnostic), which merged to next
after this branch: both key off parseActivityTimestamp === null, so a value whose
leading date now parses takes the stale path and does NOT emit the diagnostic. A
regression test in tests/smart-entry.unit.test.cjs asserts exactly that (stale
true, emission count 0), guarding against two staleness signals on one field.

Rebased onto next (flattened): resolved the add/add test conflict by keeping both
the #2570 and #3099 describe blocks. Tests: unit + property, 80 pass.

* fix(#2570): fail open when a named zone can't be reconstructed from the token (#2571 B1)

The 2026-08-08 flatten dropped the zone handling earlier rounds built, so the
fallback path -- reached only when a description suffix makes the whole-string
parse fail, the #2570 case -- reconstructed `${date}${time}` WITHOUT any named
zone. ISO_LEADING_RE's offset group captures only Z / +-HH:MM, so " GMT"/" EST"
land in the un-captured suffix; Date.parse then read the reconstruction as LOCAL
time, shifting the instant by the host's UTC offset -- a wrong, host-dependent
value the diff's own comment warned against but guarded only on the other branch.

Fix (the simpler of the two offered in review): when the remainder after the
matched token begins with a letter (a named zone we cannot preserve), return
null -- fail open to not-stale, matching the base's honest behaviour and
ADR-227's "never propagate a wrong instant". The #2570 template suffix
(" -- description") starts with a separator, so it still reconstructs and reads
stale as intended.

Tests (both fail-first, verified RED on the pre-fix head):
- smart-entry.unit: a named-zone + description suffix (54 days old) enters the
  fallback and must read not-stale, not a still-old local instant. Host-
  independent by construction.
- smart-entry.property (f): named-zone + suffix over 1-week..1-year ages and 8
  zones stays total and fails open.

Discloses the removal M2 flagged: TRAILING_ZONE_RE / UTC_ZONE_NAMES /
timeCarriesOffset were dropped by the flatten; this restores the SAFETY (no
wrong instant) via the simpler null contract rather than the allowlist.

* fix(#2570): narrow the stale_activity fallback guard to a zone-designator shape

The round-9 fail-open guard `/^\s*[A-Za-z]/` treated any letter-led remainder as
an unpreservable named zone, so a leading real date followed by a bare
space/tab/colon and an ordinary description (a hand-edited STATE.md that omits the
template em dash) returned null and re-opened #2570 for exactly those shapes.

Narrow the guard to ZONE_DESIGNATOR_RE -- a standalone short all-caps run -- and
consult it ONLY when the leading token captured a time-of-day: a zone qualifies a
clock time, so a bare date carries no zone hazard and always reconstructs to its
UTC midnight. A plain description (including one that opens with a tech acronym
like "CI green") reconstructs; a real named zone on a timed value (GMT/EST/...)
still fails open (ADR-227: never propagate a wrong, host-dependent instant).

Widen the property generator to the non-em-dash separators (space/tab/colon), the
arm that structurally could not reach the fallback before, and add unit cases for
whitespace/tab/colon-separated and bare-date+acronym descriptions. All fail-first
on the prior guard; green across UTC/LA/Tokyo/Kiritimati.

77374cfc32 fix(#2528): resolve digit-leading phase directories by bare number (#2559)
* fix(#2528): resolve digit-slug phase dirs by bare number — tokenizer rewind, shared bare-integer fallback, resolution-path parity gate

extractPhaseToken welded 2-digit slug words onto the phase token (phase 10
named "24/7 Autonomy" -> dir 10-24-7 -> token 10-24), making digit-prefixed
phase names unresolvable by bare number across every phase verb.

- phase-id: continuation segments must be the PURE 2-digit zero-padded form
  the write side emits; a 1-digit terminator rewinds the absorbed run
  (10-24-7 -> 10) while >=2-digit terminators keep the locked #2232
  round-trip (14-06-2026-photos -> 14-06).
- phase-id: new matchPhaseDirs owner — primary exact-token match plus a
  bare-integer leading-digit-run fallback for shapes the tokenizer cannot
  rewind (05-80-20-cleanup); collisions stay #2237-loud.
- locator/find-phase/phase-plan-index all delegate selection to the owner;
  plan-index gains the previously missing multi-match guard.
- tests: #2528 unit + fast-check metamorphic blocks; new 9-scenario
  resolution-path parity gate across all three paths.

* fix(#2528): route the fourth resolution site through matchPhaseDirs

Review BLOCKER. smart-entry.cts::detectVerifyFailed resolved the current
phase's directory with its own `.find(phaseTokenMatches)` and never
reached the shared selection, so the bare-integer-fallback family the
issue names — `05-80-20-cleanup`, `30-12-factor-refactor` — resolved
nowhere. The miss is silent by construction: an unresolved phase reports
"not failed", which is byte-identical to a healthy one, so a failed
verification simply never surfaced in /gsd or /gsd:progress.

`entries` is already sorted and matchPhaseDirs filters without
reordering, so matches[0] reproduces the previous selection exactly
wherever the old code resolved at all.

Wiring it into phase-resolution-parity.test.cjs as a fourth path then
exposed a second, older defect in the same function: phaseTokenFromDirName
shape-probed the UNSTRIPPED token, so a project-code-prefixed directory
(`MEM-05-…`, tokenizing to `MEM-05-80-20`) failed the leading-digit test
and was dropped before any resolution ran — every phase in a
project-coded plan was invisible to this check. The probe now runs on the
stripped token; the returned value is unchanged, so the comparePhaseNum
sort is untouched.

Path 4 has no JSON surface to compare, so the gate observes selection
indirectly: plant the failing artifact in exactly one directory and a
passing one everywhere else, then read the boolean. Reverting either fix
turns 5 of the 10 corpus scenarios red.

* refactor(#2528): collapse the duplicated extractCanonicalPlanId

Review MAJOR. The function existed as two independent, byte-identical
copies — src/core-utils.cts and src/phase.cts — and this PR had to patch
BOTH with the same single-digit-slug rewind rule. That is the generative
fix divergence CLAUDE.md names, and only the core-utils copy was under
test, so a future one-sided patch would have silently split plan-id
canonicalization between the plan listing and everything else.

Removed rather than parity-tested: core-utils was already the leaf owner
and already exported it, and phase.cts already imported that module, so
there is no second surface left for a parity test to police.

* test(#2528): pin matchPhaseDirs at the digit-width boundaries

Review MAJOR. The bare-integer fallback's correctness rests entirely on
capturing each directory's whole leading digit run before the zero-strip
compare; a regex that stopped short would turn every query into a prefix
match, and "1" would claim 10, 100, and 12 alike. The existing coverage
was example-based and never touched that boundary.

Adds the explicit 9/10 and 1/10/100 cases — including the forms where
only the wider directories exist, so an exact-width neighbour cannot
satisfy the assertion — plus a fast-check property over arbitrary
distinct leading runs. The property is stated as an invariant on the
result (every returned directory's leading run IS the query) rather than
an expected list, so it covers primary and fallback matches alike and
cannot be satisfied by reimplementing the selection in the test.

Both fail when the fallback regex is degraded to a prefix match.

* fix(#2528): route the remaining eight consumers through matchPhaseDirs

phaseTokenMatches had eight consumers left that each rebuilt the directory
selection around it by hand: phases-list, next-decimal, phase-remove, the
W021 milestone-consistency check, schema-drift, the init-manager overview,
milestone-complete's disk check, and roadmap analyze. Every one of them
reproduced the reported symptom in full after the tokenizer was fixed.

None of them derives a displayed phase number from the matched directory,
so none needs phaseNumberForMatch; the change at each site is the
selection and nothing else. matchPhaseDirs filters without reordering, so
matches[0] reproduces the prior .find() choice wherever the old code
resolved at all.

phaseTokenMatches now has no call sites outside phase-id.cts. It stays
exported as the primitive matchPhaseDirs is built from and as a pinned
canonical surface, but no consumer reaches past the owner to it.

* test(#2528): extend the parity gate to the migrated consumers

Each of the eight is observed through the surface a user sees, not
through the matcher, with a no-directory control so the assertions cannot
be satisfied by a consumer that resolves unconditionally. init-manager
and roadmap-analyze are additionally asserted to agree with each other.

* refactor(#2528): own the case-flexible phase grammar and the leading-digit-run fragment

validate.cts derived its case-flexible regex sources by running
`replaceAll('A-Z', 'A-Za-z')` over two constants exported by phase-id.cts.
That passes lint-phase-id-drift.cjs — there is no literal copy of the
grammar — but it depends on the owner rendering that exact substring. The
day phase-id.cts expresses the same class any other way the replaceAll
silently no-ops and validate.cts narrows to uppercase-only. The failure
mode is a NON-match, so nothing throws and no uppercase-only fixture
notices. Both variants are now derived once, beside the sources they
widen, and imported.

Also names the leading digit run the bare-integer fallback selects on.
It was spelled `/^(\d+)(?:-|$)/` where the fallback filters and `/^\d+/`
where phaseNumberForMatch reads the number back off the winner; selecting
on one run and displaying another would resolve a directory and then label
it with a number that never matched it.

* fix(#2528): refuse to remove a phase when two directories claim its number

cmdPhaseRemove was the only migrated site taking matches[0] with no
multi-match guard. Every sibling resolution path returns ambiguous_matches
and refuses to choose; this one is the DESTRUCTIVE path, so choosing
silently is strictly worse than anywhere else. With 05-80-20-a and
05-90-till-late on disk, `phase remove 5 --force` deleted one of them and
renumbered every phase after it — where the base resolved nothing, deleted
nothing, and the corpus in tests/phase-resolution-parity.test.cjs already
declared that exact input ambiguous.

The refusal is emitted before any file is touched and carries both
candidates. CONSUMER_SCENARIOS could not express the case — every row is
binary, resolving to one directory or to none — so the gate gains a
dedicated ambiguous test. It asserts on the filesystem, not only on the
reported directory_deleted: a null printed after an rmSync would satisfy
every other check.

* fix(#2528): pair digit-leading phase directories with their roadmap phase in validate health

W006/W007 are the ninth site of this bug class and the one a
`phaseTokenMatches` grep could never surface: they resolve roadmap↔disk by
intersecting TOKEN SETS, which is a dir→token labelling rather than the
query→dir selection matchPhaseDirs owns. On the canonical fixture the
label is wrong in both directions at once, so `validate health` reported
"Phase 5 in ROADMAP.md but no directory on disk" AND "Phase 05-80-20
exists on disk but not in ROADMAP.md" for the same directory.

collectDiskPhases now keeps the directory names behind each token, so
W006 can ask the canonical matcher whether a roadmap phase resolves to a
real directory, and W007 — which iterates directories and therefore has no
query to resolve — gets the inverse mapping it never had: a directory is
claimed when some roadmap phase resolves to it.

Both checks are additive: the token intersection still decides every shape
it already decided, and the resolution can only REMOVE a warning. The
regression test carries controls in the other direction — a roadmap phase
with no directory must still raise W006, an unclaimed directory must still
raise W007 — so it cannot be satisfied by a check that stopped reporting.

* docs(#2528): state and pin the directory-side scope of the bare-integer fallback

The matchPhaseDirs docblock claimed deep-decomposition lookups were
untouched. That is true of the QUERY side only — no non-bare query enters
the fallback — but the DIRECTORY side is what changed classification: a
bare `5` now reaches a lone `05-01-auth` and resolves it (phase_number
"05", phase_name "01-auth") where the base found nothing.

The widening is irreducible from directory names alone. `05-01-auth`
(sub-phase 5.1) and `30-12-factor-refactor` (phase 30 named "12-Factor
Refactor") are the same `NN-NN-<slug>` shape, and the discriminator that
would separate them — "is the second segment a valid decimal sub-phase" —
accepts `5.1` and `30.12` equally. Any rule strong enough to exclude the
first excludes the second, which is the defect #2528 exists to fix. So the
tie is broken in favour of resolving, the docblock now says so, and the
consequence is bounded where it matters: two such directories are two
matches, and every caller (including phase remove) refuses to choose.

Pins both directions, since nothing observed the directory side before.

* fix(#2528): count surviving phases by identity in phase remove's STATE resync

#2640 landed on `next` while this branch was open. Its STATE.md phase-count
resync re-derives "which directory was removed" from the query with
`phaseTokenMatches`, which is the tenth site of this issue's defect: the
bare-integer fallback resolves `05-80-20-cleanup` for query `5`, but the
token predicate does not, so the just-deleted directory is counted as still
present and the written `Total Phases` is one too high.

`targetDir` already IS the directory that was removed, and the block is gated
on it being non-null, so identity answers the question exactly — which is also
what the comment above the filter already claimed it did. This keeps
`phaseTokenMatches` out of `phase.cts` rather than re-importing it to satisfy
one call site: the module's public surface should not grow for a question that
does not need re-derivation.

Pinned in the parity gate with a control on a directory the tokenizer reads
correctly, so the assertion is about the digit-leading shape and not about the
counting rule changing for everything.

* fix(#2528): let the resolution layer own the digit-leading slug family alone

The tokenizer rewind this fix carried — pop the last absorbed continuation when
the segment that stopped the scan is a bare single digit — reads
"10-24-7-autonomy" (phase 10 named "24/7 Autonomy") correctly and silently
re-reads "10-24-7-zip" (sub-phase 10.24 named "7-Zip Integration") from "10-24"
to "10". The two names are string-identical in shape, so no local signal
separates them; the rule traded the reported ambiguity for the symmetric one a
level down, on a 15-caller chokepoint whose output also feeds query-less
derivations (STATE.md phase counts, W007, the #2562 key surface). A well-formed
sub-phase directory became unresolvable by its own id — the very symptom #2528
was filed about.

It also bought nothing. The bare-integer fallback in matchPhaseDirs already
resolves "10-24-7-autonomy" for query "10" whatever the token is: no primary
match, bare query, leading digit run "10". The reported case was covered twice,
by two rules, and the two disagreed about the case nobody reported.

So the rewind is removed rather than narrowed, in the tokenizer and in the five
surfaces kept in lockstep with it (BRACKET_PHASE_TOKEN_SOURCE,
PHASE_TOKEN_FROM_DIR_RE, canonicalPlanStem's pair grammar and its collision
branch, roadmap-parser's numericRe, extractCanonicalPlanId), together with the
SINGLE_DIGIT_RUN_SEGMENT_SOURCE owner constant they shared. Disambiguation now
lives only where a QUERY exists to disambiguate against, which is the same
bounded mechanism the "05-80-20-cleanup" shape already used.

Measured, not argued: over 29800 generated directory names, extractPhaseToken is
byte-identical to `next` on every input except the lowercase-continuation class
("01-20a", "05-80-20-25abc") — a rule about the segment itself, not a guess about
its neighbour.

Both readings now stay reachable by their own ids:
  matchPhaseDirs(['10-24-7-autonomy'], '10')    -> the dir   (fallback)
  matchPhaseDirs(['10-24-7-zip'],      '10')    -> the dir   (fallback)
  matchPhaseDirs(['10-24-7-zip'],      '10-24') -> the dir   (primary)

* test(#2528): pin the one-continuation boundary the rewind had no coverage for

The regressing shape was invisible to the suite by construction, not by luck:
the deep-rewind property built its cases from `continuationArb` with
`minLength: 2`, so it never exercised the single-continuation case — exactly one
genuine sub-phase level before a digit-leading slug — and every hand-written
fixture used the ambiguous shape only where "phase-plus-slug" was the intended
reading.

`continuationArb` is now `minLength: 1` and the property states the invariant
instead of the old rule: for any prefix, phase, 1-5 continuations and any
one-digit terminator, the token equals the FULL continuation run on both the
imperative and the regex surface, and `matchPhaseDirs([dir], token)` returns that
dir. That third assertion is the one that catches the class on its own — the old
behaviour made a well-formed directory unresolvable by its own id, which is a
property, not a fixture.

Around it: "10-24-7-zip" and "10-24-3d-printer" now sit beside
"10-24-7-autonomy" everywhere the family is pinned, so the two readings can never
diverge again; the 24/7 metamorphic property asserts the RESOLUTION result rather
than the token (the token is precisely the part no surface may decide); the
end-to-end parity corpus gains "a sub-phase with a digit-leading slug resolves by
its full id" across all four resolution paths; and the milestone-scoping residual
is pinned in three directions rather than left to prose.

Mutation: re-inserting the rewind and rebuilding turns 9 tests red, the
`minLength: 1` property first, and nothing else. Build success checked separately
(build:lib reports 0 `error TS`), so the mutation reached the artifact under test.

* test(#2528): pin the #2946 guard against digit-leading phase directories

The #2946 fix makes the milestone-complete unstarted-phase guard run
unconditionally, so whether it fires now rides entirely on the
directory-resolution owner this PR replaces. Two cases, both with STATE.md
carrying no `milestone:` field so the #2946 path is the one exercised:

  - ROADMAP Phase 5, disk `05-80-20-cleanup` → guard must stay silent.
    RED on next (fail-closed: the guard blocks a legitimate one-way-door
    operation because phaseTokenMatches resolves neither 05 nor 80 for
    that directory).
  - ROADMAP Phase 80, same directory → guard must still fire. Green on
    both sides; it pins the fail-open direction against a future widening
    of the matcher.

* fix(#3175): stop the injection scanner reading RegExp.exec as code execution

The apostrophe fix in 27aa40f6 replaced ["\x27] with a real ["'] class.
The old class never contained an apostrophe at all (POSIX bracket
expressions do not honour backslash escapes, so it was the set ", \, x,
2, 7), so only exec(" matched. Single-quoted method calls now match for
the first time, and RegExp.prototype.exec takes a subject string, not
code: any PR touching a file that tests a regex goes red. On next, six
files match the scanner's own pattern across 16 method calls.

A plain [^[:alnum:]] boundary cannot separate the two forms because . is
not alnum, so exec gets [^[:alnum:].] and the command-execution vector
moves to a dedicated member-call pattern. Bare exec('rm -rf /'),
cp.exec(...) and child_process.exec(...) all still fire.

Mutation: reverting the boundary reds 1 test and only it; removing the
member-call pattern reds the 2 non-weakening tests and only them.

Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#2528): keep exec( detection receiver-blind, allowlist the two grammar suites

The left boundary [^[:alnum:].] added in 58a7b560 excluded a preceding dot,
which dropped every member-position .exec('…') from the scanner. The follow-up
receiver pattern only restored three literal spellings (child_process,
childProcess, cp), so require('child_process').exec('…') — the most common Node
spelling of the vector this pattern exists to catch — became invisible, along
with any opaque receiver (conn.exec, shelljs.exec).

Revert the pattern to its receiver-blind form and handle the RegExp.prototype
.exec false positive where the script already handles this class: per-file
ALLOWLIST entries for the two phase-token grammar suites. Mutation-checked —
removing the two entries reds exactly those two files and nothing else.

The four assertions written around the old patterns are replaced by a
table-driven set covering all six spellings, including the three the narrowed
pattern silently lost.

* docs(#2528): pin the three undeclared grammar edges, correct the ambiguity claim

Review round 10 asked for declaration, not behavior change, on four items. All
four have zero production consumers or preserve their caller's prior rule, so
each is pinned as a test or corrected in prose rather than reverted.

- BRACKET_PHASE_TOKEN_SOURCE: the (?=-|$) terminator is what keeps the bracket
  read path in step with the other surfaces, and it costs the display shapes
  (`05.03: Title`, `12A: X`, `05.03]` no longer tokenize). Pinned so widening
  the terminator class is a deliberate act rather than a lookahead deletion.
- canonicalPlanStem: uppercase plan suffixes still strip, lowercase and dotted
  sub-plans now fall through. Dead export; pinned as a decision on record.
- getMilestonePhaseFilter: `12A-01-foo` now yields `12A-01`, matching what
  `12-01-foo` has always yielded. The letter suffix was the only reason a
  sub-phase directory folded into its parent phase's milestone window; the two
  shapes now agree. Not named in the review — found auditing the same commit.
- matchPhaseDirs docblock claimed every caller refuses on multi-match. Four do;
  five take matches[0]. Replaced the claim with the actual two-tier policy and
  the honest caveat that the bare fallback makes multi-match newly reachable
  for queries that previously found nothing.

c516c39b33 fix(#3203): stop npm-global installs validating bundled agents against themselves (#3229)
* fix(#3203): stop npm-global installs validating bundled agents against themselves

getAgentsDir's claude branch derived the agents directory from __dirname,
which is correct for repo runs and runtime-config-dir installs (where
<root>/../agents IS the user's agents dir) but on an npm-global install
resolves to the package's own bundled agents/, so checkAgentsInstalled
validated the package against itself and agents_installed could never be
false. The new-project and new-milestone halt/warn gates were silently
dead for npm-global users.

Keep the install-relative path for the shapes where it is correct, but
when it lies inside a node_modules tree — the provably self-validating
case — resolve getGlobalConfigDir('claude')/agents like every other
runtime, honouring CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR. GSD_AGENTS_DIR stays priority 1.
Repair the doc comment that asserted the __dirname form was correct for
both install shapes.

Regression test mirrors the published npm-global layout (package under
node_modules with a complete bundled agents/) and pins the resolved
directory plus the issue's negative control (one agent missing from the
config dir → agents_installed:false). Verified red against pre-fix code,
green post-fix; the repo-layout W010 health test stays green.

* chore(#3203): set changeset fragment pr to 3229

* docs(#3203): describe the node_modules guard as lexical, in CONTEXT.md and at the call site

The Agent Install Check Module glossary entry asserted that Claude resolves the
agents directory `__dirname`-relative unconditionally. That is the premise this
PR falsified: on an npm-global install the install-relative path resolves to the
package's own bundled `agents/`, so the check validated the package against
itself and `agents_installed` could never be false.

The inline doc comment above `getAgentsDir` was repaired with the fix; this
external predicate was left behind and has been false since. CONTRIBUTING.md's
`Fixed`-fragment docs exemption names this case explicitly — "Edit the docs
anyway if a fix corrects something the docs got wrong."

Both surfaces now describe the guard as what it is: an exact, case-sensitive
path-segment test that TARGETS those layouts rather than detecting them, so
neither claims more certainty than the predicate has. The call-site comment
carried the same conflation the glossary did. A path merely carrying a directory
of that name resolves the same way — the edge already disclosed on this PR — and
a non-empty GSD_AGENTS_DIR overrides it.

Comment-only in `src/`; no behaviour change.

`CONFIG.LOCATION.SEAM.two-families` needs no change: `GSD_AGENTS_DIR ->
getAgentsDir priority 1` is still accurate.

* test(#3133): global Claude @-references must resolve on tilde, not $HOME

Regression for #3133: on a global Claude install, _applyRuntimeRewrites
rewrites @~/.claude/... -> @$HOME/.claude/..., but Claude Code does not
expand $HOME in @-file references, so the include silently resolves to
nothing and the skill loads an empty execution_context. Rows 1/2/6/9 fail
RED on next; rows 3-5/7-8 guard #1284 (shell $HOME), local redirect,
#3503 (no homedir leak), and non-Claude isolation.

* fix(#3133): keep global Claude @-references on tilde, not $HOME

On a global Claude install, _applyRuntimeRewrites rewrote every @~/.claude/
include to @$HOME/.claude/ because computePathPrefix returns the $HOME form
for shell-context correctness (#1284: ~ does not expand inside double quotes).
Claude Code does not expand $HOME in @-file references, so the rewritten
include silently resolved to nothing and skills loaded an empty
execution_context. Add a normalization pass in the claude case: when the
prefix is the $HOME (global) form, restore @$HOME/.claude/ -> @~/.claude/
(the form Claude expands and the shipped tarball uses). Shell contexts keep
$HOME; local installs (absolute prefix) are unaffected; computePathPrefix is
untouched (all its tests stay green).

* test(#3133): fix row 9 assertion — drop end-of-string anchor

Row 9's regex used $ (end-of-string) but a realistic @-ref line ends with
a newline, so the anchor could not match. The fix under test produces the
correct @~/.claude/gsd-core/references/ui-brand.md tail; only the assertion
was wrong. Drop the anchor and assert the tail + no @$HOME.

* test(#3257: full-line frontmatter comments survive the parse→reconstruct pair AND a mutating state verb

parseYamlRegion dropped column-0 # comments and reconstructFrontmatter rebuilt
from Object.entries alone, so full-line comments were silently destroyed on
every mutating STATE verb. Add failing-first regressions: 3 unit tests for the
public pair (comment between keys, leading+trailing, consecutive) and an e2e
test running a state verb (state update) on a commented STATE.md — the e2e
exercises syncStateFrontmatter's fresh-derivedFm rebuild path, which is the
actual loss site the issue is filed against.

RED — fails on next; fix follows.

* fix(#3257: preserve full-line frontmatter comments through parse→reconstruct AND syncStateFrontmatter

Carry column-0 # comments through the frontmatter pair via a Symbol-keyed
channel (FULL_LINE_COMMENTS): parseYamlRegion captures ^# lines and attaches
them to the next top-level key (leading) or a trailing slot; reconstructFrontmatter
re-emits them in place. The Symbol is invisible to Object.entries/keys/JSON, so
every existing reader is unchanged; the channel is created only when a comment
is seen, so comment-less frontmatter is byte-identical.

CRITICAL (isolated review): syncStateFrontmatter rebuilds its target via
buildStateFrontmatter (fresh object) + an Object.keys carry-forward, both of
which skip the Symbol — so the pair-preserving channel was lost on the very
STATE verbs the issue names. Export propagateCommentChannel(source, target)
from frontmatter.cts and call it in syncStateFrontmatter before reconstruct,
copying the channel onto derivedFm (leading filtered to keys still present so a
deleted key's annotation drops with it, trailing preserved). Decision A.

* test(#3338): fold the verify/validate & workflow-text issue-* cluster — Wave 6

Folds 10 legacy issue-*.test.cjs regression files (75 test() blocks) into
their module's main suite, per H3 (#3315) of the test-hygiene epic (#3053).
Third of 4 issue-* waves.

- issue-2701-nul-corrupted-validators.test.cjs (9) + issue-429-comment-
  text-gate.test.cjs (31, incl. fast-check property tests): both target
  verify.cjs/validate.cjs via different calling styles (CLI vs direct-
  require) — merged jointly into verify.test.cjs, 0 dropped.
- issue-2762-plan-reviews-chunked.test.cjs (3) merged into
  plan-phase-drift-guard.test.cjs.
- issue-2771-advisor-subagent-type.test.cjs (1) + issue-2772-discuss-
  phase-text-inconsistencies.test.cjs (6) merged jointly into
  discuss-phase-power.test.cjs.
- issue-498-update-backup-runtime-dir.test.cjs (3, rename basis) +
  issue-815-update-next-channel.test.cjs (7, merged in): both concern
  update.md workflow-text contracts, now update-workflow.test.cjs.
- issue-498-update-context.test.cjs (13): pure rename to
  update-context.test.cjs, sole comprehensive suite for its module.
- issue-2765-brace-expansion-lockfile.test.cjs (1, rename basis) +
  issue-3238-js-yaml-lockfile.test.cjs (1, merged in): two distinct CVE
  regression pins against package-lock.json, now lockfile-cve-audit.test.cjs,
  shared ROOT/npmLs helpers deduped instead of double-declared.

Ratchet upkeep to keep this wave's own gates green: pruned 3 stale
allow-test-rule allowlist entries, cited 2 previously-uncited comments
that surfaced in the folded content (#3338), tightened the exemption-file
ceiling 305 -> 297. Fixed one stale filename reference in production code
(src/init.cts) plus one in docs/reference/workflow-fragments.md.

Zero net test-coverage loss. No production code BEHAVIOR changed.

* test(#3338): fix orthogonal-review findings — Wave 6 fold

Standards-axis review found a real structural defect in two files, both
the same root cause and both fixed here:

- tests/update-workflow.test.cjs: the folded:issue-815-update-next-channel
  wrapper's closing brace was placed after the file's pre-existing tail
  instead of before it, making the already-established folded:bug-2470
  and folded:bug-3130 wrappers CHILDREN of issue-815's block in the test
  hierarchy instead of independent siblings — confirmed via an actual
  node --test run showing the mislabeled TAP nesting. Moved the closing
  brace to the correct position; all three fold wrappers are now
  top-level siblings again (verified via node --test, TAP hierarchy
  correct, 10/10 tests, 5 suites, identical count before and after).
- tests/plan-phase-drift-guard.test.cjs: same mistake in the other
  direction — folded:issue-2762-plan-reviews-chunked was spliced inside
  the pre-existing folded:bug-2492-context-coverage-gate wrapper instead
  of after it. Fixed the same way (227/227 tests, 38 suites, identical
  count before and after).
- Reverted unnecessary 815-suffixed local renames (assert815/fs815/etc.)
  introduced by the fold — the wrapper is genuinely block-scoped once
  correctly closed, so no collision existed (same class as Wave 4's
  __foldSetNested finding).

No test() count changed in either file. No production code touched.

* test(#3255): updateTableCell reaches a later table when the first lacks the column

A ## Traceability section holding a summary table (no Status) above the
requirement table (with Status) made updateTableCell bind to the first table
and return 'unknown column: Status', so requirements.mark-complete left the
row at Pending. Add a failing-first regression at the primitive.

RED — fails on next; fix follows.

* fix(#3255): updateTableCell scans for the table carrying the requested column

updateTableCell bound to the FIRST GFM table in the scoped text and returned
'unknown column' if that table lacked the column — so a ## Traceability section
holding a phase-summary table above the requirement table never reached the
requirement table, and requirements.mark-complete left the row at Pending while
reporting table_unmatched (the #2140 silent-divergence class one level deeper,
flagged but not closed by the #2245 cross-section scoping fix).

Scan candidate table headers and pick the first VALID table (delimiter +
matching column count) whose columns include the requested column. Single-table
behaviour is byte-identical (the one table carries the column). Error semantics
preserved: no table -> 'no table found'; valid table without the column ->
'unknown column'; lone malformed table keeps its specific reason. Also fixes the
derived hasRow/doneTable reasoning, which probes via the same call.

- 9 files merged into 6 pre-existing suites: golden-parity-single-source,
  runtime-artifact-layout-surface, codex-config (4 sources merged jointly
  in one pass per the issue's own instruction, to catch overlap between the
  4 sources themselves, not just against the pre-existing target — zero
  overlap found, all 20 blocks additive), runtime-config-adapter-registry
  (1 of 10 source blocks dropped as a proven subset of existing coverage),
  cline-install, install.test.cjs.

Incidental fixes required to keep this wave's own ratchets green:
- Fixed a stale ADR doc reference (docs/adr/1235) to a folded-away filename.
- scripts/lint-allow-test-rule-refs: pruned 4 stale allowlist entries for
  renamed/merged-away files, cited 2 previously-uncited allow-test-rule
  comments that surfaced as "new" only because their file path changed,
  added 1 fresh allowlist entry for a pre-existing uncited comment that
  predates this PR, and tightened the exemption-file ceiling 309 -> 305
  to match the real post-fold high-water mark.

Zero net test-coverage loss. No production code changed.

* test(#3336): fix orthogonal-review findings — Wave 4 fold

Standards-axis review + Memtrace graph pass found real issues in the
just-folded suites, all fixed here:

- Standardized the fold-wrapper convention (block-scoped __foldDescribe)
  across golden-parity-single-source.test.cjs, runtime-artifact-layout-
  surface.test.cjs, runtime-config-adapter-registry.test.cjs, and
  cline-install.test.cjs to match the pattern already used by
  codex-config.test.cjs and install.test.cjs in this same wave (and by
  earlier folds elsewhere in the epic) — repeats the exact inconsistency
  Wave 3 (#3335) already fixed once in this epic.
- Fixed a stale allowlist entry's alphabetical position (cosmetic, not
  tool-gated, caught by review anyway).
- Fixed two stale test-filename references in PRODUCTION code comments
  (src/capability-writer.cts, src/runtime-config-adapter-registry.cts)
  caught by lint-removed-but-needed — a class of stale reference this
  wave's fold agents didn't check for, since they were scoped to docs/
  and gsd-core/references/ only, not src/. First fix attempt wrongly
  edited the gitignored gsd-core/bin/lib/*.cjs BUILD OUTPUT instead of
  the tracked .cts source; caught and corrected before commit.
- Fixed one remaining stale doc reference in docs/adr/1235 (a prior
  partial fix in this same wave missed it).

No test() count changed in any file. No production code BEHAVIOR
changed — comment-only fixes in src/.

23e6d49929 fix(#3233): no-op state update-progress when the milestone scan finds zero plans (#3375)
* test(#3233): zero plans (0/0) is a no-op; plans-but-none-done still writes 0%

cmdStateUpdateProgress mapped 0/0 through clampPercent to 0% and rewrote the
shipped Progress record after milestone close. Replace the stale 'handles zero
plans gracefully' test (which asserted the buggy percent:0) with a #3233 no-op
regression (100% record preserved, updated:false), and add a negative-space
guard: plans exist but none done must still write a legitimate 0%.

RED — fails on next; fix follows.

* fix(#3233): no-op state update-progress when the milestone scan finds zero plans

cmdStateUpdateProgress mapped 0/0 through clampPercent to 0% and unconditionally
rewrote the body Progress line, so after /gsd-complete-milestone archived the
phases (.planning/phases/ empty, scope COMPLETE) a routine update-progress run
destroyed the shipped record ([██████████] 100% → [░░░░░░░░░░] 0%).

Add an early-return no-op when totalPlans === 0 — mirroring the established
scope-withholding no-op (stderr WARNING + {updated:false, reason}) and
computeProgressPercent's null-for-empty contract ('nothing to measure' ≠ '0%
done'). The legitimate 0% case (plans exist, none summarized) is unaffected:
totalPlans > 0 reaches clampPercent(0, N>0) = 0 and writes 0% as before.

* test(#3233): unshadow 'Progress field missing' — clear the zero-plans guard

The new totalPlans===0 no-op guard fires before the 'Progress field not found'
branch, so the existing 'returns error when Progress field missing' test (no
phase dirs → 0 plans) was passing for the wrong reason and that branch lost
coverage. Give that test a phase dir + PLAN so totalPlans > 0 clears the guard
and it reaches the branch it is named for. (Isolated review finding.)

* test(#3225): sentinel phase dirs no longer trigger W007 / consistency warnings / gaps

The W006/W007 (validate health) and the parallel consistency disk↔roadmap and
gap-numbering loops never got the isSentinelPhaseId guard that phase.cts has
(#2786/#2949), so every sentinel phase dir (999.x/0.x — never-on-roadmap by
convention) produced a spurious W007 and a spurious 'Gap in phase numbering:
N → 999'. Add failing-first regressions for both surfaces + the gap check, each
with a non-sentinel orphan negative-space guard.

RED — fails on next; fix follows.

* fix(#3225): guard W006/W007 + consistency + gap loops with isSentinelPhaseId

cmdValidateHealth's W006/W007 loops, cmdValidateConsistency's parallel disk↔
roadmap loops, AND its gap-numbering check never got the isSentinelPhaseId guard
that phase.cts has at 10+ sites (#2786/#2949). So any repo using the sentinel-id
convention (999.x backlog/interim, 0.x drafts) got a permanent spurious W007 and
a spurious 'Gap in phase numbering: N → 999', with advice to add-to-roadmap
(violates the convention) or delete (destroys archived work).

Add isSentinelPhaseId to the phaseIdMod destructure and skip sentinel ids in:
W006 + W007 (cmdValidateHealth); the two plain-warning disk↔roadmap loops and
the gap-numbering integerPhases filter (cmdValidateConsistency — same bug family,
folded in inline per no-silent-defer). Additive only: non-sentinel orphans and
real numbering gaps still warn. The gap-numbering guard was surfaced by the
isolated review (a 999-interim dir would otherwise create a false 'N → 999' gap).
Same family as #3167 (since fixed).

* test(#3224): assert WINDOWS.md is a canonical .planning/ artifact

The broken-windows ledger (.planning/WINDOWS.md, written by gsd-core's own
windows command) was absent from CANONICAL_EXACT, so validate health flagged
it W019 'Unrecognized' with advice to delete a file that can gate /gsd-ship.
Add WINDOWS.md to the expected-canonical list + a dedicated predicate test.

RED — fails on next; fix follows.

* fix(#3224): register WINDOWS.md as a canonical .planning/ artifact

CANONICAL_EXACT (src/artifacts.cts) was never updated when the broken-windows
capability (#1950/#2441) started writing .planning/WINDOWS.md. validate health
therefore flagged the ledger W019 'Unrecognized' with fix advice to archive or
delete it — a file gsd-core itself produces (src/broken-windows.cts,
LEDGER_FILE_NAME) and that can gate /gsd-ship under workflow.windows_enforce.

Add WINDOWS.md to CANONICAL_EXACT, per the registry header's own maintenance
mandate ('Add entries here whenever a new workflow produces a .planning/ root
file'). isCanonicalPlanningFile now returns true for it, suppressing the false
W019. Existing W019 behavior for genuinely-unrecognized files is unchanged.

bfd749cb9a fix(#3213): segment-boundary membership for letter-named phase dirs (#3368)
* test(#3213): add letter-named phase regression for getMilestonePhaseFilter

The custom-ID branch's greedy capture excluded every letter-named phase
directory (Phase A:..Phase L:) from the milestone, fabricating counts.
Add two failing-first regression tests: a single letter phase + numeric
control, and the full A..L + 00 tree from the issue's reproduction.

RED — fails on next; fix follows in a separate fix: commit.

* fix(#3213): segment-boundary membership for letter-named phase dirs

The custom-ID branch of isDirInMilestone (getMilestonePhaseFilter) used a
greedy capture ^([A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9]*(?:-[A-Za-z0-9]+)*) that swallowed the
whole hyphenated directory name (A-tool-output-contract was captured as
'A-tool-output-contract', not 'A'). The set lookup then failed and every
letter-named phase directory (Phase A:..Phase L: — GSD's own convention,
ADR-612 first-class non-numeric IDs) fell out of the milestone, silently
fabricating progress/plan counts over whatever numeric dir survived.

Replace the capture-then-lookup with a segment-boundary membership test: a
directory belongs if its lowercased name EQUALS a declared phase ID or BEGINS
with that ID followed by '-' (so 'A-tool-output-contract' matches ID 'a';
'PROJ-42-description' matches ID 'proj-42'; 'AB-combined' does NOT match
'a'). IDs are sorted longest-first so a hyphenated id (proj-42) is tested
before a prefix of it (proj). Additive only — numericRe still handles every
leading-digit dir first, and this can only ADMIT a dir the greedy capture
wrongly excluded, never exclude one already matched.

e7993d77bf fix(#3207): create-and-switch on the first phase/milestone commit (#3363)
* test(#3207): invert fresh-create branching tests to expect create+switch

The four fresh-create branching tests (#3079) locked in create-without-
switch behavior that #3207 identifies as the regression: a fresh phase/
milestone branch is created but HEAD never moves onto it, so the first
phase/milestone-scoped commit lands on the base branch. Invert those
assertions to expect create+switch, and add two new tests:
- fresh-create is non-silent (logs the create+switch) (#3207 AC3)
- a second phase commit does not re-warn once HEAD is on the phase branch (#3207 AC5)

The existing-branch path (#2539) is deliberately byte-for-byte unchanged.

RED — fails on next; the fix follows in a separate fix: commit.

* fix(#3207): create-and-switch on the first phase/milestone commit

The #3079 fix (PR #3141) replaced git checkout -b with git branch
(create-only) unconditionally, including the case where the strategy
branch does not yet exist. That regressed #1278: the first phase- or
milestone-scoped commit no longer landed on the strategy branch — it
stayed on the base branch, and the strategy branch was left as an empty
marker pointing at the pre-phase tip. Every subsequent commit then
warned 'already exists; committing on the current branch instead of
switching', wording that misleads because the tool itself created the
branch moments before.

Re-separate the two cases #3079 collapsed:
- branch does NOT exist -> create AND switch (git checkout -b). The
  #3079 resurrection hazard cannot apply: the branch was just verified
  absent, so there is no merged-and-deleted ref to resurrect and no
  silent move onto an existing unrelated branch (#2539 AC2 is honored
  by the existing-branch arm, which is unchanged). The create is logged
  so the first phase-scoped commit is not silent (#3207 AC3).
- branch ALREADY exists -> unchanged: no switch, commit on current
  branch, non-silent warning (#2539/#3079).

Once the first commit switches HEAD onto the strategy branch, the
currentBranch !== branchName guard skips the block on subsequent
commits, so the misleading 'already exists' warning no longer recurs.

0396d9cab1 enhance(#2483): stop the claude reviewer lane from inheriting CLAUDE.md + auto-memory (#2493)
* enhance(#2483): env-guard the claude reviewer leg against CLAUDE.md injection

The claude reviewer in workflows/review.md was a bare headless `claude -p`
spawn run from the project cwd, so it inherited the invoking user's global
CLAUDE.md, the project CLAUDE.md, and Claude Code auto-memory.

That made it the only reviewer leg seeing anything beyond the prompt file.
gather_context assembles PROJECT.md, the roadmap section, every PLAN file,
CONTEXT.md, RESEARCH.md and REQUIREMENTS.md into the prompt before any
reviewer runs; the gemini leg receives only that prompt and the codex leg
runs --ephemeral. Beyond the measured ~4k tokens/spawn, the asymmetry cuts
at the workflow's own premise: "independent review" meant something
different for the claude leg than for the other two.

Guard both dispatch lines with a per-invocation
`env CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_CLAUDE_MDS=1`. `env`, never `export` — the flag
must not leak into the orchestrating session (which may itself be Claude
Code on the SELF_CLI="auto" path) or into any later spawn.

review.md is the only claude -p call site in the installed tree, so this is
two lines on one surface. The self-skip logic is untouched.

* enhance(#2483): fix CRLF-fragile split and regenerate workflow baselines

Two CI failures from the first push, both mine:

1. lint-tests: the new regression test split readFileSync content on a
   literal "\n". On a Windows git-autocrlf checkout that leaves a trailing
   "\r" on every line (local/no-crlf-fragile-split). Use .split(/\r?\n/).

2. golden-install-parity / workflow-size-budget / workflow-compat: editing
   gsd-core/workflows/review.md changes its content hash and byte size, and
   both are pinned in committed baselines. Regenerated via the repo's own
   generators (npm run size:baseline, npm run gen:golden).

The regenerated diffs are review.md-only: exactly one hash line per
golden-install-parity fixture and one size entry in workflow-size-baseline
— no unrelated drift swept in.

Full suite now green locally: 2113 pass, 0 fail, 3 skipped (run with HOME
and CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR overridden to throwaway dirs; live profile verified
untouched afterward).

* enhance(#2483): adapt guard-test matcher to the effort-args dispatch reshape

The effortSurface wiring (#2481) reshaped the bare-model dispatch to
`claude $CLAUDE_EFFORT_ARGS -p -`; the invocation matcher's dash-first
form could no longer see it, and the count assertion failed exactly as
designed. The matcher now tolerates variable expansions between `claude`
and its first literal flag. Negative-controlled both ways: a stripped
guard and a deleted dispatch line each still fail.

* enhance(#2483): also guard the claude leg against auto-memory injection

CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_CLAUDE_MDS suppresses CLAUDE.md file loading;
auto-memory is an independently-toggled mechanism with its own flag.
Add CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_AUTO_MEMORY=1 to both dispatch lines, correct
the docs/COMMANDS.md and changeset claims that credited the first flag
with covering auto-memory, and extend the regression test to require
both flags on every claude invocation (negative-controlled: 2/4
assertions fail with the new flag removed).

* enhance(#2483): match the claude binary in command position, not argument position

The line-oriented invocation matcher counted any line where the token
`claude` was followed by a flag. #2589 (landed on next as 920a5f3f)
reshaped the effort-args lookup from

  --host claude 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.effort_argv_string // ""'

to

  --host claude --pick effort_argv_string

which put a flag immediately after `claude` and made the config query
read as a third claude dispatch, failing the count assertion.

The defect class is a binary name in *argument* position being read as a
command. Fixed at the class rather than the instance: tokenise the line
and skip any `claude` whose preceding token is a flag. That also covers
the latent sibling one line away in review.md (`command -v claude`),
which escaped today only because its next token is a redirect.

Negative-controlled four ways: stripping CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_AUTO_MEMORY=1
fails, stripping the whole env guard fails, adding a genuine third
unguarded dispatch (`timeout 900 claude --output-format text -p -`) still
fails — so the narrowing did not blind the matcher to reshapes, which is
the property the count assertion exists for — and the pre-#2589 jq form of
the lookup still passes, so the matcher is not pinned to today's base.

* enhance(#2483): carry the claude reviewer's memory guard as declared lane data

ADR-2782 Phase 5b replaced the hand-authored per-CLI dispatch legs in
review.md with the declared lane table, so the two `env`-prefixed shell
lines this PR previously added no longer have a surface to live on. The
guard is reimplemented where the lane contract now lives.

`SpawnInvoke` gains an optional `env`, the claude lane declares the pair,
the resolver folds own string-valued entries into `SpawnPlan.env` (absent
or empty resolves to null, so the runner has one shape to test), and the
runner passes it to spawn. Production merges it OVER `process.env` into a
fresh object for that one child, so nothing reaches the orchestrating
session or any other lane in the run.

Declared data rather than a handler (D6): the pairs are static per lane,
which is precisely what the manifest vocabulary is for. The capability
manifest carries the same field, because the lane-fidelity test compares
manifest and descriptor over the union of `invoke`'s keys.

The regression test is rewritten against the resolver and runner rather
than review.md's text. It gains the property the source-text assertions
could only approximate: that `process.env` is never mutated.

Scope boundary, asserted rather than left in prose: `env` is not part of
the trust-disclosure surface, which is safe only while no manifest body
reaches the resolver — the registry's reviewer bodies contribute slugs to
the parity check and execution resolves from `REVIEWER_LANES`. The new
test fails first if that ever changes.

* enhance(#2483): restate the guard's mechanism in the docs and changeset

Both described the fix as two `env`-prefixed dispatch lines, which is the
surface ADR-2782 Phase 5b removed. The user-visible behaviour is
unchanged; the carrier is not, and a changeset that ships a description
of a mechanism the tree does not have is a CHANGELOG entry nobody can
verify against the code.

* enhance(#2483): cover the production spawn wiring end to end

The unit tests stop at the runner's `deps.spawn` seam — every one injects
a spy. Production supplies that seam in `gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs` as a
hand-written object no test constructs, so the chain could be correct all
the way to `SpawnPlan.env` and the merge could still be wrong or absent
with the suite green. Deleting those four lines was the one mutation that
left every other control silent.

This runs the real `spawnSync` through `gsd-tools review-lane invoke`,
with a `claude` shim on PATH that records the environment it was handed.
It asserts both halves in one test: the pair arrives, and an unrelated
inherited variable survives — a wiring that REPLACED the environment
rather than merging over it would satisfy the first and break every
lane's PATH and HOME.

POSIX-only; mediating a Windows `.cmd` shim is a separate concern the
repo already tests on its own.

Noted rather than fixed: `timeout`, `killSignal`, `maxBuffer` and
`shell: false` on that same object are equally uncovered. That is the
epic's gap, not this change's, and closing it is not in scope here.

* enhance(#2483): validate the invoke.env shape and register it as spawn-only

`env` was the one spawn-invoke field with no shape enforcement: every sibling in
`validateSpawnInvoke` is checked, and a manifest declaring `env` as an array, a
string, a number, or an object with non-string values passed validation in
silence. That matters more than an ordinary schema gap here, because
`resolveLanePlan` DROPS a non-string value rather than coercing it — so an
unvalidated manifest declares a pair that never reaches the spawn, which is the
failure a memory guard can least afford.

Two registrations, not one. `env` was also absent from
`SPAWN_ONLY_INVOKE_FIELDS`, which is the list the openai-http arm rejects
against — so `invoke.env` was accepted on a transport that issues an HTTP POST
and has no child environment at all. It was the only spawn-shaped field accepted
there; the other six each produce two errors. Self-found while sweeping the
class, not raised in review.

Keys are held to the portable POSIX environment-name grammar. That is a policy,
not a claim about what an environment can hold: measured, only NUL is actually
rejected by `spawnSync`, while `=`, a leading digit, a dash and a space are all
carried through to the child (an `A=B` key arrives as the raw entry `A=B=value`).
They are refused because a name outside the grammar is not portably addressable
by the program meant to read it.

`__proto__` is refused for a different and concrete reason. It passes that
grammar and is a real own key once a manifest is JSON-parsed, but assigning it
onto a plain accumulator goes through the inherited `__proto__` setter rather
than creating an own property — and for the string values this field permits the
setter is a no-op that does not even change the prototype. The pair would
validate and then simply vanish before the spawn. (An environment CAN carry a
literal `__proto__` entry; this is about the resolver's accumulator, and the
error message says so.)

Deliberately narrower than the sibling reserved-name guards in this file, which
also reject `constructor`/`prototype`: those guard bracket lookups that resolve
prototype members, whereas this reads via `Object.keys` plus an own-value read,
where `constructor` assigns as an ordinary key the spawn could carry.

`effortChannel` is deliberately left in neither field list: ADR-2782 D2 defines
it for both transports, so it is shared rather than spawn-only.

Reversion-controlled, three mutations, all three fire a named test: dropping
`env` from the discriminator fails `httpTransportRejectsEnv`; removing the
`__proto__` arm fails `envRejectsProtoKeyThatWouldSilentlyVanish`; disabling
the block fails four.

(#2483)

* enhance(#2483): amend ADR-2782 D2 for the invoke.env vocabulary widening

D2 records the spawn `invoke` shape as a closed vocabulary, and its Amendments
section carries a dated entry for every prior widening (Phase 1 #2794, Phase 2
corrections #2795, Phase 5b #2799). This change extended that vocabulary in code
without touching the ADR governing it, so the ADR contradicted the
implementation — and the repo's own convention, recorded in CONTEXT.md, is that
the ADR is amended in the same PR precisely because the prior widenings did it
correctly.

Adds the `invoke.env` row to the D2 table and a dated Amendments entry.

The entry also corrects the authority this change cited. The source comment
pointed at D6, which governs the closed `handler` enum — imperative behavior
admitted first-party — and says nothing about the `invoke` field vocabulary.
That is D2's territory, so the citation never covered the gap.

Two claims are corrected rather than restated, both about the trust boundary
that justifies leaving `env` out of the D5 disclosure signature:

- The regression test does not enforce that boundary. On one forged lane it
  shows the resolver folds whatever it is handed, so a future path feeding it
  manifest lanes would not make any assertion in that test fail. Its comment
  claimed it "will fail first"; that was wrong, and both the comment and the
  ADR now say the boundary is a property of the production call chain instead.
- The ADR is internally inconsistent on whether third-party manifest lanes
  execute at all: Consequences says adding a reviewer needs "no core patch",
  while `gsd-tools.cjs` rejects every slug absent from the first-party
  REVIEWER_LANES map. CONTEXT.md, `workflows/review.md` and the resolver's own
  header take the first view. #2483 did not create that inconsistency and does
  not resolve it; the entry records it rather than settling it in its own favour.

(#2483)

* enhance(#2483): document invoke.env in the capability-manifest reference

ADR-2782 points capability and plugin authors at
`docs/reference/capability-manifest.md` as where the lane vocabulary must be
visible, and its `invoke` row enumerates the spawn sub-shape field by field.
`env` was absent from that table while being part of the real shape, so the one
document a third-party capability author would actually consult to learn the
field exists did not mention it.

Squarely Diataxis reference material — a field-by-field schema description — so
it goes here rather than in the user-facing prose, which was already updated.
States the constraints a manifest author can actually trip, and is explicit that
the name grammar is a portability policy rather than an OS limit, so a reader
does not take it for a claim about what an environment can hold.

(#2483)

* enhance(#2483): disclose and sign the reviewer lane's env and residual invoke fields

`invoke.env` was undisclosed at install time. That was defensible while manifest
lanes could not execute — the premise this PR's own ADR amendment recorded — and
#2927/#3062 retired it: `routeReviewLane` now merges installed overlay `reviewer`
bodies into its lane map via `mergeReviewerLanes`, which is a field-identical merge
by ADR-2782 D1 and deliberately does not deep-validate. An overlay's whole `invoke`
therefore reaches `resolveLanePlan`, and `env` reaches the spawned child. A consented
third-party capability could set `NODE_OPTIONS=--require ./evil.js` on a reviewer lane
with no install-time disclosure and no re-consent.

The same file already decided what `env` means in a manifest: MCP servers fold it into
the disclosure signature and render each key and value in the consent prompt, with an
inline rationale naming this exact shape. Reviewer lanes get the identical treatment.

`env` was the ninth unsigned invoke field, not the first. `defaultHost` (the manifest's
OWN fallback egress host, used whenever the config key resolves to nothing),
`path`, `outputChannel`/`outputArg`, `modelArg`, `effortChannel` and `modelDiscovery`
all reach `resolveLanePlan` and none was bound. Enumerating a ninth name leaves the
tenth open, so the lane signature carries a RESIDUAL of every other declared `invoke`
key — the completeness backstop `rawConfig` already gives the MCP line (#1459 finding 5),
and the "sign the whole object" remedy the recorded decision on this class prefers.

`defaultHost` is also rendered: `resolvedHost` comes from user config, so a lane whose
key is unset displayed "(unresolved …)" — which reads as "no destination" — while the
runtime egresses the plan and review text to the address the manifest picked.

D4.5 is preserved one level down: the extra element is appended ONLY when the lane
declares something beyond the eight already-bound fields, so an env-free lane's
signature stays byte-identical and no already-consented capability is re-prompted for
a field it does not use. A lane that does declare one re-consents, which is the point.

Execution-primitive env names are FLAGGED in the prompt, not refused in the validator.
A denylist cannot be the boundary here: `PATH` alone is a complete execution primitive
for a spawn lane and can never be refused, the child is an arbitrary third-party binary
so the true set spans every interpreter's injection vars, and the MCP `env` this mirrors
refuses nothing and discloses everything. Missing a name costs a quieter line, never a
boundary.

Refs #2483.

* enhance(#2483): exercise the real overlay merge path in the guard test

The test named for the manifest/first-party boundary did not test it. It built a
forged lane locally, handed it straight to `resolveLanePlan`, and asserted that
`REVIEWER_LANES` did not contain it — so no assertion in it depended on the claim its
name made, and a code path that fed manifest lanes to the resolver would not have made
it fail. Its own comment said as much, and named the production chain as the real
carrier of the guarantee: "gsd-tools.cjs builds its lane map solely from REVIEWER_LANES".

That sentence is now false. #3062 merged overlay reviewer bodies into that map, so the
test's premise and its subject both moved.

The replacement routes through `mergeReviewerLanes` — the real helper the production
path calls — and asserts the overlay lane is admitted, resolves, and carries its `env`
into `SpawnPlan.env`. That makes the security property falsifiable instead of narrated.
It then asserts what now backs it: the env is disclosed on the surface, rendered key
and value in the consent prompt, flagged when the name is an execution primitive, and
bound to the signature so a value change, an addition, or a removal each force
re-consent.

Three further cases, because the finding's generative half is what stops it recurring:
the residual backstop is asserted against five fields including one that does not exist
(`aFieldThatDoesNotExistYet`), so a future vocabulary widening cannot silently re-open
this; a fully-enumerated lane is pinned to its original 8-tuple, which is what keeps the
fix from re-prompting every consented capability; and an http lane's manifest-declared
`defaultHost` is asserted to reach both the prompt and the signature.

Reversion-controlled, seven mutations, all seven fail a named test: env dropped from the
surface, the prompt's env line removed, the execution-primitive warning removed, the
signature's extra element never appended, the residual emptied, the defaultHost line
removed, and the declares-something test un-widened. The last of those was SILENT on its
first run and its test was written in response, then the control re-run.

* enhance(#2483): correct the ADR amendment's manifest-lane premise

The amendment argued `env` needed no D5 disclosure because a manifest's `invoke`
fields never reach `resolveLanePlan`. That was true when written and #3062 retired it
22 hours after this branch's last commit: `routeReviewLane` now builds its lane map
from `mergeReviewerLanes(REVIEWER_LANES, loadRegistry({includeInstalled: true}))`, and
D1's no-translation-layer rule makes that a field-identical merge, so an overlay's
whole `invoke` reaches the resolver and executes.

The entry had named this exact trigger — "were manifest lanes ever made executable,
`env` must join the disclosed surface in that change, and nothing here will trip if it
does not." Nothing tripped. The premise is rewritten to current truth rather than
annotated, because an ADR is read in fragments and a superseded paragraph left standing
reads as live reasoning to the next author; a one-line dated tombstone points at git for
the withdrawn text.

The rewritten entry records four things the first draft could not: that the enumeration
itself was the defect (`env` was the ninth unbound `invoke` field, and `defaultHost` and
`path` are egress-relevant on their own), that the residual is what closes the class,
that D4.5's byte-identical-signature property is preserved by appending the residual only
when a lane declares something beyond the eight bound fields, and that consent — not
shape validation — is the boundary, since no honest env denylist can exclude `PATH`.

It also closes the internal inconsistency the previous entry could only record. This ADR,
`CONTEXT.md`, `gsd-core/workflows/review.md` and `resolveLanePlan`'s own header all said
overlay lanes reach the resolver while the runtime said otherwise; #3062 resolved that in
the documents' favour, which is what makes the disclosure mandatory rather than defensive.

Refs #2483.

* enhance(#2483): record in the manifest reference that invoke fields are consent-bound

`docs/reference/capability-manifest.md` is the field table ADR-2782 points capability
authors at, and it described `invoke` purely as a schema. A third-party author reading it
could not learn that everything they declare there is shown to the user at install and
bound to the consent signature — which is exactly what they need to know now that an
overlay reviewer lane executes (#2927/#3062).

States the two things the schema alone cannot: that `env` and `defaultHost` are named in
the consent prompt and the rest is covered by a residual, so any change to a declared
`invoke` field forces re-consent; and that `env`'s validation is a portability policy
rather than a safety boundary, since `PATH` is a complete execution primitive and cannot
be refused. Names that are execution primitives are highlighted in the prompt instead.

Refs #2483.

* enhance(#2483): add a Security changeset for the reviewer-lane disclosure

The existing fragment describes the enhancement this PR was opened for and stays as it
is. The disclosure fix is a separate user-visible change of a different type: a
capability declaring `invoke.env` or `invoke.defaultHost` will ask for consent once
more, and users are entitled to read why in the changelog rather than discover it as an
unexplained prompt.

Type is `Security` rather than `Changed` because the entry describes a closed
code-execution disclosure gap, not a behaviour adjustment.

Refs #2483.

* enhance(#2483): correct this round's own claim about who gets re-prompted

Self-found while auditing the round's claims before publishing them. The changeset and
the ADR entry both stated that a capability declaring `invoke.env` or `defaultHost`
"will ask for consent once more". That is wrong, and it overstated the cost of the fix
in the one direction a maintainer would have had to take on trust.

A code change to `disclosureSignature` re-prompts nobody. `hasProjectConsent` matches on
the recomputed bundle `contentHash` — the signature has not been the security binding
since #1459 CB-1/CB-2 — and the upgrade path's `executableSetChanged(old, new)` compares
two disclosures both computed by the CURRENT code, so widening the signature moves both
sides of that comparison equally. First-party capabilities never reach the path at all:
the install flow blocks a first-party id before trust evaluation.

What the widening actually buys is forward-looking, and is the real argument for it: an
upgrade whose manifest edits a declared `invoke` field now registers as an
executable-surface change and re-consents, where before it could change what the lane
runs in silence.

Also measured and recorded, because the D4.5 property was stated more strongly than it
deserved: of the twelve first-party reviewer capabilities, ZERO are in the
byte-identical-signature class — every real lane declares at least `effortChannel`. The
property is a guarantee about minimal lanes, not a description of the fleet, and the ADR
now says so.

Refs #2483.

* enhance(#2483): sign and disclose the probe binary and the lane's outer fields

Found by this round's own adversarial review, and it is the same defect one level out:
the `invoke` residual cannot reach the lane body's OUTER fields, and `probeLane` SPAWNS
`probe.binary` with `--help` before dispatch (`review-lane-runner.cts`, the
`command-exists`/`command-capability` arms). An overlay naming an arbitrary probe binary
therefore executes it — unsigned and undisclosed, exactly as `invoke.env` was, and
reachable on the same #3062 path.

The lane element now carries a second residual over the outer fields, and the probe
binary is shown in the consent prompt when it differs from the dispatch binary — it is a
program that runs, and the user is entitled to see it.

TWO fields stay excluded, and that is a decision rather than an omission:
`reviewsSection` and `timeoutFloorMs` are ADR-2782's cosmetic carve-outs (matrix
A10/A13), where re-consenting would present a prompt carrying no security information.
A test pins that they remain excluded, so a later widening cannot quietly reverse D4.5
while claiming to complete this fix.

Also corrects a miscount introduced by the previous commit: the source comment said the
enumeration had fallen behind by "seven fields" and omitted `fallbackModel`, while
asserting `env` was the ninth. `resolveLanePlan` reads twelve `inv.*` fields and four
were bound, so the number is eight. The comment now states the derivation rather than
just the total.

Reversion-controlled: emptying the outer residual fails "repointing the probe binary must
force re-consent"; removing the render line fails its own named assertion.

Refs #2483.

* enhance(#2483): refuse execution-primitive env names as defence in depth

Adopts the review's B5 after this round's own adversarial pass refuted my reason for
declining it. I had argued a denylist was worthless because `PATH` can never be refused.
That was wrong on the facts: no shipped reviewer manifest declares `PATH`, so it can be
refused, and it is the most complete primitive in the set — repoint it at a directory
holding a fake binary and the declared `invoke.binary` is irrelevant. A list that cannot
be exhaustive can still close the highest-confidence, lowest-legitimacy routes.

So the validator now rejects `PATH`, `NODE_OPTIONS`, `LD_PRELOAD`, `DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES`,
`BASH_ENV`, `PYTHONPATH`, `PERL5OPT`, `RUBYOPT`, `GIT_SSH_COMMAND`, `JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS`
and their siblings on a reviewer lane. A lane needing a specific executable declares an
absolute `invoke.binary` instead of reshaping the child's environment.

The comment states plainly that this is defence in depth and NOT the boundary — the
boundary is install-time consent, which discloses every declared pair and binds it to the
signature, so an unlisted name is still SEEN before it runs. That framing is load-bearing:
a future reader who mistakes the denylist for the control will under-invest in the one
that is, which is the failure mode I was trying to avoid by declining it outright.

Two tests: the rejection itself across ten names, and a guard asserting no shipped
reviewer capability declares a denied key — so if the list ever outgrows its evidence,
that surfaces as a decision rather than a silent removal.

Refs #2483.

* enhance(#2483): fix two stale D5 enumerations elsewhere in the ADR

The previous commit rewrote the amendment's premise but swept only the amendment. Two
normative passages earlier in the same ADR still enumerated the old closed field list and
now contradicted it: the `executableSetChanged` trigger list, and the split-binding note
asserting the seven manifest-derived fields were "everything that is SHA-pinned".

That is the failure the rewrite-don't-annotate rule exists to prevent, one section over —
an ADR is read in fragments, and a fragment carries no supersession marker, so a reader
landing on either passage would have taken the superseded enumeration as current.

Both now name the residual as the mechanism rather than restating a list, which is also
what stops them going stale the next time the vocabulary widens.

Found by this round's adversarial review, which grepped the whole document rather than
the section under edit.

Refs #2483.

* enhance(#2483): stop the probe disclosure claiming a spawn that does not happen

The probe line added one commit ago rendered "probes by running: <binary> --help" for
every lane. That is false for `kind: "command-exists"`, which only calls `hasBinary` — a
PATH/filesystem scan that starts no process. Only `command-capability` spawns.

A false statement in a consent prompt is worse than a missing one: the prompt is the
surface a user is asked to trust, and this one overstated what a lane does. Worse, the
test I wrote to prove the fix used `command-exists` — the kind that does NOT spawn — so
it pinned the wrong claim and would have kept the error green forever.

The surface now carries `probeKind` and the two kinds render differently: a spawn is
described as a spawn, a presence check as a presence check. The test exercises both, and
asserts the `command-exists` path never emits the spawn wording.

Also corrects the field-count parenthetical to state its derivation unambiguously —
`resolveLanePlan` reads thirteen `inv.*` fields including `env` (twelve before this PR),
four were bound, so eight were unbound before `env` and nine including it. The bare
"twelve" was true only of the pre-PR tree and read as a claim about the current one.

And retires two comments that argued AGAINST the validator denylist this round then
shipped. Leaving them would have handed the next reader the reasoning for removing it.

Reversion-controlled: conflating the two probe kinds fails a named test.

Refs #2483.

* enhance(#2483): match the reviewer-lane env denylist case-insensitively

The denylist added one commit ago compared exact case, so `Path`, `path`, `node_options`
and `Node_Options` all passed it. Windows environment lookup is case-insensitive, so
those reach the child as `PATH` and `NODE_OPTIONS` — the exact inputs the list names.

An exactly-cased denylist is worse than none: it reads as a control while admitting the
input it was written to refuse, and the next reader has no reason to doubt it. Members
are stored uppercase and the key is folded before lookup; the name grammar already
constrains keys to ASCII, so a plain fold is sufficient.

Reversion-controlled: restoring the exact-case compare fails `envDenylistIsCaseInsensitive`
on `Path`.

Refs #2483.

* enhance(#2483): correct the docs that still described the denylist as absent

Both the ADR and the manifest reference still said `env` carries no denylist and that
`PATH` "can never be refused" — written when that was this round's position, and left
standing after the round reversed it. A reader landing on either passage would have taken
the superseded argument as current, which is precisely the failure the rewrite-don't-
annotate rule exists to prevent.

Both now describe the denylist, name `PATH`'s inclusion and the case-insensitive match,
and keep the limit explicit: the list cannot be complete against an arbitrary child and
disclosure runs before validation, so consent remains the boundary.

The ADR's byte-identical-signature claim is also corrected rather than softened. With the
outer residual in place, a lane producing no residual is one the validator rejects — it
declares no `flags`, `probe`, `emptyOutput`, `evidenceClass`, `requiresBinaries` or
`promptBudgetKey`. So the property is about the ENCODING, not a claim that any real
signature is unchanged, and it is not the argument for the change being safe. That
argument is that consent binds to the bundle contentHash and no existing consent is
invalidated at all.

Refs #2483.

* test(#2483): cover the three new lane disclosure fields in the injection-safety parity guard

The PARITY test in section N exists to catch a renderer field that skips
`renderValueForPrompt` (#3248). Its payload manifest is hand-maintained, so it
covers the fields that existed when it was written — slug, binary, args,
hostConfigKey, handler — and none of the fields this PR adds.

This PR renders three further manifest-supplied values into consent-prompt
lines: `invoke.env` (keys and values), `invoke.defaultHost` and `probe.binary`.
The gap was silent rather than theoretical: with the lane env line reverted to
the pre-#3248 raw form, the whole 948-test lane/capability/trust-disclosure
suite stayed green.

Two manifests, because the shapes render disjoint lines — `defaultHost` only on
the openai-http branch, `env`/`probe` only where declared, and the probe line
only when the probe binary differs from the dispatch binary.

Non-vacuity is asserted on the typed disclosure object and on structural line
counts, not by substring-matching rendered prose: CONTRIBUTING.md forbids raw
text matching on test output, and this section's own header promises structural
assertions only, so a prose match here would have made that promise false.

Negative-controlled three ways against the merged tree, each producing exactly
one named failure: env rendered raw, defaultHost rendered raw, probe binary
rendered raw.

* docs(#2483): extend the #3248 render-site comment to the fields this PR adds

The comment enumerates every manifest-supplied value that must pass through
`renderValueForPrompt`, and it stopped at `handler` — the reviewer-lane fields
that existed when #3248 landed. This PR renders three more (`defaultHost`, the
probe binary, and the env keys and values), so the list understated its own
contract in the one place a future author would check before adding a fourth.

A comment enumerating a closed set is a set that can silently fall behind the
code it describes; the parity test added alongside is what makes the omission
fail loudly rather than read as deliberate.

2076d450d7 fix(#2652): gate quick/diagnose dispatch on dispatch.isolation, not the runtime name (#2728)
* fix(#2652): gate quick/diagnose dispatch on dispatch.isolation, not runtime name

quick.md and diagnose-issues.md kept the pre-#2584 `RUNTIME != "claude"`
worktree gate, so every non-Claude runtime failed closed regardless of the
capability it negotiated — including Codex, which declares
orchestrator-worktree. Route both through the negotiated dispatch.isolation
seam via a new shared reference, and migrate the two execute-phase reference
fragments that carried the same runtime-name gate.

- new gsd-core/references/dispatch-isolation-gate.md: canonical ISOLATION
  resolution, harness-flag resolution, single-agent degrade rule
- quick.md / diagnose-issues.md read the gate; dispatch uses the {harnessFlag}
  placeholder rather than a hardcoded isolation="worktree"
- execute-phase-wave-guard.md / execute-phase-between-wave-reset.md: migrate
  [ "$RUNTIME" = "claude" ] -> [ "$ISOLATION" = "harness-worktree" ]
- every degrade site now clears BOTH USE_WORKTREES and ISOLATION; clearing one
  dispatched an isolated agent with no base guard and no manifest
- parity guard in host-integration.test.cjs scans workflows AND references and
  matches six reintroduction shapes
- migrate four tests that pinned the pre-#2584 runtime-name contract

path.relative() returns backslash-separated paths on Windows, so the

* fix(#2652): convert execute-plan.md Pattern A onto the dispatch-isolation gate

Pattern A hardcoded `isolation="worktree"` — Claude Code's own literal —
gated only on `workflow.use_worktrees`, with no capability negotiation at
all. It is the same defect #2652 fixes at the other four sites, just a
different shape: the file contains no RUNTIME variable, so the new detector
correctly does not flag it.

Concrete break: a Codex user who follows this PR's own newly-documented
pattern and sets `workflow.use_worktrees: true` to get isolated dispatch via
/gsd:quick then runs a plan through /gsd-execute-plan Pattern A, and hits an
unconverted path — either an Agent() call erroring on an unrecognized
parameter or silent unisolated execution, depending on host tolerance.

Pattern A is a single-agent dispatch site through the host's own subagent
tool, so it takes the same treatment as quick.md and diagnose-issues.md:
resolve ISOLATION/HARNESS_FLAG through the canonical reference, degrade to
sequential on orchestrator-worktree hosts, and substitute the host's declared
{harnessFlag} instead of Claude Code's literal.

* docs(#2652): add the INVENTORY row for dispatch-isolation-gate.md, refresh CONTEXT

Two bookkeeping gaps flagged in review:

INVENTORY.md had no row for the new gsd-core/references/dispatch-isolation-gate.md.
INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json was regenerated correctly and its --check only diffs a
live directory scan against the committed manifest, so CI passed regardless —
but gen-inventory-manifest.cjs's own stderr guidance says to add the matching
INVENTORY.md row. This is the repo's named "Inventory Drift" pattern. Placed
with the dispatch/isolation cluster (worktree-branch-check, runtime-aware-dispatch)
rather than alphabetically, matching how that table is grouped.

CONTEXT.md's Host-Integration Interface entry still described dispatch.isolation
as "declared and negotiated but not yet consumed by any scheduler — Phase 1 of
#2584". That was already stale before this PR (execute-phase graduated in Phase 3)
and more so now with three single-agent dispatch sites consuming it.

* test(#2652): detect reversed-operand runtime gates; add a permutation property

All five reintroduction regexes assumed $RUNTIME on the LEFT of the
comparison, so `[ "claude" != "$RUNTIME" ]` — the same gate written
backwards — evaded every one of them. Verified against the old patterns
before fixing: all four reversed shapes (single bracket, double bracket,
test builtin, JS template) scored EVADED.

Each comparison shape is now generated in both operand orders from a single
template, so a shape cannot be added in one order and forgotten in the other.
The mutation table gains the four reversed cases.

Also adds the fast-check property review suggested in place of the hand-rolled
cases: it generates the cross product of the axes an author actually varies —
bracket form, operator, operand order, quoting, spacing, runtime id — so a
permutation the hand-written patterns miss surfaces here rather than in
production. The 11 explicit cases stay as named regression anchors.

converted dispatch site.

The #2751 command-position gate pins its prose exemptions by line number.
This branch inserts the dispatch-isolation resolution above the
`validated downstream by gsd-tools uat classify-coverage` sentence, moving
it from execute-plan.md:387 to :397 — which fired the gate twice for one
displacement (an un-allowlisted mention at 397, a stale entry at 387).

The rebase onto next merged #2649's pre-dispatch base-check textually, but

the degrade never reached the dispatch decision. Gate the block on
ISOLATION = "harness-worktree" and degrade ISOLATION itself, the same
pairing quick.md already uses.

* fix(#2652): key quick.md post-dispatch bookkeeping on ISOLATION, not the Claude literal

Review Blocker: the manifest append (l.822), worktree merge-back (l.825), and
its skip clause (l.839) all conditioned on the literal isolation="worktree" —
Claude Code's own rendering of {harnessFlag}. Cursor renders --worktree, so a
newly-unblocked isolated Cursor run created a worktree whose committed work
was never merged back and never cleaned up, silently. All three now key on
ISOLATION = "harness-worktree" at dispatch.

The existing parity detector cannot catch this class (its ISOLATION_TOKEN
treats the literal as a legitimate marker), so this adds a dedicated
literal-condition detector with a discrimination proof against both pre-fix
sentences, a benign-mention control, and a positive pin on all three
re-keyed conditions. Verified fail-first against the pre-fix quick.md.

* fix(#2652): scope the use_worktrees=false install stamp to isolation=none runtimes

`_stampNonClaudeRuntimeDefaults` rewrote every non-Claude runtime's
`workflow.use_worktrees` read to `--default false`. That default resolved
before `gsd_run query dispatch-isolation` was ever consulted, so the five
runtimes that declare worktree support — cursor (harness-worktree) and
codex/opencode/kimi/kimi-code (orchestrator-worktree) — got ISOLATION=none
regardless of what they negotiated. The gate this PR migrates dispatch onto
was therefore still deciding isolation by runtime name, one layer down.

The stamp's #1521 premise was that worktree isolation *was* Claude Code's
isolation="worktree" spawn parameter, which no other host honored. #2584
replaced that premise with the negotiated capability. The stamp is now scoped
to runtimes whose negotiated isolation really is `none`, where the default it
writes is the outcome the resolver reaches anyway.

`_negotiatedDispatchIsolation` mirrors routeDispatchIsolation's resolution
against the same registry — closed vocabulary, a harness-worktree host must
declare its flag, an orchestrator-worktree host must carry a descriptor that
resolves — and fails closed to `none` on anything else, so an undeclared or
unknown runtime keeps today's behavior.

Two #1515 tests pinned the superseded premise for codex and are re-pointed at
the new contract rather than deleted: the safety property they protect is now
held by the isolation gate's fail-closed resolution, not by a name-scoped
install-time default. Verified fail-first — all five assertions red against
the pre-fix source, green after.

* test(#2652): acknowledge the emitted ripple and re-point the end-to-end stamp proof

Scoping the use_worktrees stamp changes emitted output, and two gates caught it.

`gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase.md` now differs at emit time for the five
hosts that declare worktree support (cursor harness-worktree; codex, opencode,
kimi, kimi-code orchestrator-worktree) — the source file is byte-identical, only
the stamp is gone. Acknowledged in this PR's fragment.

`tests/install.test.cjs`'s real-install assertion pinned the superseded premise
end-to-end, asserting codex receives `--default false`. Re-pointed rather than
deleted, matching the two unit tests: it now proves codex keeps the unstamped
`true` read. A second arm installs windsurf — which declares isolation `none` —
and asserts the false stamp is still applied there, so the change cannot
silently degrade into "never stamp" without a test noticing.

The ack entry collides with `2658-trae-instruction-file-path.json`, which is
fully spent (merged via #2925, so all 25 of its entries are present at base and
gate nothing) and is pruned for the same reason and by the same rule as the
spent `2649-*` fragment this PR already removed. #2566 prunes the same file for
the same collision on `new-project.md`; a delete/delete merges cleanly either
way, and the base-side cleanup would make both unnecessary.

* fix(#2652): re-record the sentinel when a dispatch site degrades isolation

Review Blocker B1/B2/B3. Every isolation degrade in a dispatch site is decided
in shell, where routeDispatchIsolation cannot see it. That resolver persists
whatever it resolved to the run-scoped sentinel as an unconditional side effect
(#3045), so a degrade that only reassigns $ISOLATION leaves the sentinel
asserting harness-worktree while the dispatch correctly omits the harness flag.
The shipped PreToolUse guard reads the sentinel at the instant of the Agent()
call and denies that mismatch with exit 2 — the work does not run unisolated,
it does not run at all. Latent on this branch and lands on rebase, since
8f75e275 (#3045) is not yet in the merge-base.

Four sites now push the final shell-computed value through the same single
write path with --force-isolation, matching the idiom #3045 established in
executor-isolation-dispatch.md:

  - quick.md, after the #1941 base-check degrade
  - diagnose-issues.md, after the config-gate degrades and after #2649's
  - execute-plan.md Pattern A, before spawning
  - references/dispatch-isolation-gate.md, both degrade paths, plus a new
    "Re-record after every degrade" section — the canonical file taught the
    defect, so fixing only the call sites would leave the source of truth wrong

Tests assert the RECORDED value, not $ISOLATION. Asserting the local variable
is what let this class through: $ISOLATION was already `none` at every site and
the defect was entirely in what reached the sentinel. Each workflow's own
degrade block is executed under a gsd_run stub that captures the write, with a
fail-first proof that the pre-fix shape records nothing (while $ISOLATION reads
`none` in both), plus a coverage guard so a new degrade site cannot skip it.

Also corrects the drift-ack rationale (review Minor 5): @-references are
eagerly inlined, so extracting the gate does not reduce loaded context. The
reason to extract is single-sourcing across five dispatch sites.

while next had modified it. That was correct against the 08-03 base, where
the fragment was fully spent; it is wrong against next @ 1d208e5a, which
still carries 23 live entries.

next's copy is restored byte-identical except for the single key that
genuinely collides with this PR's own fragment,
gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase.md. Both acks name that path for
different deltas -- 2658's is the trae CLAUDE.md replacement-target
rewrite, ours is the emit-time _stampNonClaudeRuntimeDefaults ripple from
review round 3. Per the ack-lifecycle law (#2789), an entry already at the
base is spent and inert, so this PR's entry is the live one and 2658's is
dropped.

This follows the guidance given on #2566 in the 08-06 round: "Regenerate
rather than delete -- the collision is one entry."

Verified: lint-emitted-drift-ack ok (0 problems, 357 keys, no cross-source
duplicates); emitted-attribution 170/170 with GSD_EMITTED_BASE=upstream/next;
host-integration 222/222; runtime-converters 130/130.

* fix(#2652): bound the degrade-harness spawn and close the round-6 majors

B1 (CI red, ours): tests/host-integration.test.cjs spawned bash with no
timeout, violating local/no-unbounded-spawn. `next` deleted the allowlist
outright (#3148), so the merge-commit run flags it even though this branch
still carries the file's grandfathered entry. Bounded at 15s, with a named
failure on timeout/signal rather than an opaque `exited null`.

M1: add a parity test between `_negotiatedDispatchIsolation` (install time)
and `routeDispatchIsolation` (dispatch time). Both read the same capability
registry and the same `resolveOrchestratorExec`, but duplicate the DECISION
on top of them across two surfaces with no call edge between them, so neither
symbol appears in the other's impact graph and nothing static can catch them
drifting apart. The resolver leg drives the real gsd-tools CLI per registered
runtime, both ways it is really called: with `--cwd-target` (the executor
spawn, which resolves the orchestrator descriptor — the same question install
time asks) and without it (the `Resolve ISOLATION` call every dispatch site
makes first, which does not). The second leg is what catches an orchestrator
host whose descriptor stops resolving: the install would stamp
`use_worktrees=false` while the workflow gate still reported
`orchestrator-worktree`.

M2: add install-level Cursor coverage. A real `--cursor` install, then the
gate blocks that install emitted, run against the gsd-tools that install
emitted, with the runtime declared through `.planning/config.json` — the tier
`resolveRuntime` actually reads — and any ambient GSD_RUNTIME blanked, so the
install has to reach the right resolver on its own. It then performs the
documented `{harnessFlag}` substitution against the `Agent()` call that
install emitted and asserts on the rendered dispatch: exactly one emitted
Agent() call carries the slot, it is the gsd-executor / gsd-debugger dispatch
rather than some other call in the same file, and rendering it yields
`--worktree` with no residual placeholder and no `isolation="worktree"`.
This is artifact-level — it proves the emitted wiring, not a live Cursor
host invocation. Asserting the shell variable alone would have stayed green
if the placeholder were deleted from the emitted dispatch, or drifted onto
the reviewer call beside it.

M3: diagnose-issues.md inlined a reordered copy of the reference this PR
introduces as the single source of truth. It now reads the reference the
same way quick.md and execute-plan.md do; the drift-ack entry is corrected
to describe what the file actually contains, and to name the four files that
reference the gate rather than claiming five.

M4: CONTEXT.md still called `resolveOrchestratorExec` UNCONSUMED in the same
paragraph this PR edits. It has been consumed since #2584 Phase 3 — routed
through `query dispatch-isolation --json` and process-spawned by
executor-isolation-dispatch.md — and #2652 adds a second consumer.

Every new assertion verified fail-first against a real mutation: cursor's
negotiated isolation (breaks the target-bound parity leg), the no-target
orchestrator branch in routeDispatchIsolation (breaks the gate parity leg),
cursor's harnessIsolationFlag (breaks the resolved value), deleting
`{harnessFlag}` from quick.md's emitted Agent() call (breaks the slot), and
moving it onto the code-reviewer dispatch (breaks the wrong-call guard).

Refs #2652

* fix(#2652): serialize unisolated diagnosis, scope the execute-plan gate to dispatching patterns

Round-7 review findings (independent cross-AI pass over the whole PR against
the current base).

BLOCKER — diagnose-issues.md announced sequential mode and then fanned out.
The `orchestrator-worktree` degrade sets ISOLATION=none and prints "debug
agents run sequentially on the main working tree", but the spawn step still
said "All agents spawn in single message (parallel execution)". On Codex,
OpenCode and Kimi that dispatched N unisolated debuggers concurrently against
the primary checkout — the exact outcome the degrade exists to prevent, and
reachable only because this PR removed the FATAL that used to stop those
hosts earlier. Fan-out is now keyed on ISOLATION: parallel only when each
agent has its own worktree, one at a time otherwise.

BLOCKER — execute-plan.md Pattern B could not dispatch at all on Claude or
Cursor. The gate recorded `harness-worktree` to the #3045 sentinel, but only
Pattern A carries `{harnessFlag}`; Pattern B's segment executors carry none,
and `hooks/gsd-agent-isolation-guard.js` blocks precisely that mismatch with
exit 2. Segments are unisolated BY DESIGN — each continues on the working
tree the previous one left behind, so per-agent worktrees would break the
sequence — so Pattern B now records `none` before its first dispatch and
dispatches without the flag.

MAJOR — the same gate ran before routing was chosen, so an isolation-`none`
host with `use_worktrees=true` hit the fail-closed FATAL even when routing
would have selected Pattern C, which is fully inline and dispatches nothing.
Resolution now happens after the pattern is known, and Pattern C skips it.

MAJOR — tests/host-integration.test.cjs fed `fs.readFileSync` output straight
to bash. The `\r?\n` fence regex guards only the delimiter, leaving embedded
CR on every line of the captured body — DEFECT.WINDOWS-CRLF-TEST-PORTABILITY,
which helpers.cjs documents by name. Now reads through `readFileNormalized`.

MAJOR — the "every dispatch-site degrade block re-records" test hand-listed
three files, so its name was a claim its scan could not support. The scan is
now derived from the workflow/reference tree (SCAN_ROOTS/collectMarkdown
hoisted to module scope so there is one definition, not two). Verified
fail-first against execute-plan.md — a file the previous scan never opened.
The two wave fragments are exempt because they delegate the re-record to
per-plan-worktree-gate.md via USE_WORKTREES_FOR_PLAN; that delegation is now
ASSERTED, so deleting the delegate fails this test instead of widening a hole
silently.

MINOR — the changeset claimed the FATAL was gone for "non-Claude runtimes"
full stop. Narrowed: isolation-`none` hosts still fail closed when worktrees
are explicitly enabled, which is the contract rather than the defect.

Two further findings were investigated and rejected, with evidence:
- Raw `spawnSync` vs `tests/helpers/process-seam.cjs`: the seam exposes
  runNode/runGit/runHook and cannot express the `bash -c` harness these tests
  need; `installAndRead` in this same file is byte-identical to the base and
  still uses raw spawnSync with an explicit timeout, which is the form the
  lint sanctions. Migrating only the new call sites would split the file's
  convention for no safety gain.
- `pending-migration-to-typed-ir` on the runtime-converters parity test: the
  annotation and the rendered-text loop both exist at the merge-base under
  #3090. This PR extends an already-tracked test rather than adding a new one
  under a category CONTRIBUTING closes to new tests.

Refs #2652

* test(#2652): re-point the execute-plan prose allowlist at its shifted line

`PROSE_ALLOWLIST` in tests/no-bare-gsd-tools-command-position.test.cjs keys
entries by LINE NUMBER. The previous commit added the post-routing isolation
block to execute-plan.md, which pushed the `validated downstream by
gsd-tools uat classify-coverage` prose mention from line 397 to 414. That
broke the guard in both directions at once: the entry at 397 went stale, and
the real mention at 414 became an unallowlisted offender.

Caught by CI (7 red jobs, all shard 3/3 plus ubuntu-22) rather than locally,
because I verified only the suites I believed the change touched. Any edit to
a workflow .md shifts line numbers, and this repo carries line-keyed
allowlists — so a workflow edit needs the full suite, not a subset.

Refs #2652

* test(#2652): route the new subprocesses through the process seam

Retracting a rejection I made on the record. In the round-6 response I
argued these call sites could keep a hand-rolled `spawnSync` because the
seam exposes only runNode/runGit/runHook and cannot express `bash -c`, and
because `installAndRead` in the same file uses that shape. The first half
was true and irrelevant, the second half is not a licence: CONTRIBUTING is
unambiguous — "Anything that shells out goes through
tests/helpers/process-seam.cjs — never a hand-rolled spawnSync/execFileSync
in your suite", and "Never use try/finally inside test bodies."

`runHook` already documents `interpreter: 'bash'` for running a shell
script, so writing the harness to a file complies without extending the
seam. I had the rule and the seam's own documentation in front of me and
reasoned around both.

Converted:
- host-integration.test.cjs degrade harness: spawnSync('bash', ['-c', …])
  → runHook(scriptFile, [], { interpreter: 'bash' }).
- install.test.cjs cursor gate: `which bash` probe → process.platform;
  the installer spawn → runNode(…, { env: installSpawnEnv({HOME,
  USERPROFILE}) }), which also blanks ambient GSD_HOME/runtime-location
  vars that could otherwise make capability discovery host-dependent;
  the emitted-gate spawn → runHook(gateScript, [], { interpreter: 'bash' }).
- Three try/finally test bodies → t.after().

Class-norm timeouts: tests/helpers/timeouts.cjs arrived with this branch's
latest base merge, so the literals written earlier (15000/120000/60000) now
duplicate PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS and INSTALL_TIMEOUT_MS. Imported instead — that
module exists because INSTALL_TIMEOUT_MS had already drifted 60s→120s once
after a real bench ETIMEDOUT.

Deliberately NOT converted: `installAndRead`'s spawnSync, which is
byte-identical to the merge-base and predates this PR — converting shared
scaffolding is an unrelated change.

Verified equivalent, not assumed: argv/cwd/env/encoding/timeout and every
assertion are preserved; t.after() still cleans up on the assertion-failure
path the try/finally covered; and the cursor test still resolves Cursor
under a hostile ambient GSD_RUNTIME=claude.

Refs #2652

* fix(#2652): replace the falsified use_worktrees doc row; distinguish an unresolvable gate from a declared none

Round-8 review findings.

BLOCKER — docs/CONFIGURATION.md's `Non-Claude note` asserted three things
this PR overturns: that worktree isolation "no other runtime honors"
(Cursor declares harness-worktree with `--worktree`, and this PR's own
install test asserts that flag reaching the emitted Agent() slot), that
non-Claude installs default the key to `false`, and that forcing `true`
always fails closed. Replaced with the capability-based description, and
the `#1515, #1521` citation dropped — those are the two issues whose
premise this PR removes.

The reviewer flagged that the fix is merge-order dependent, because #2531
rewrites the same row and its replacement text is written in anticipation
of this PR landing. Rather than pick an order, BOTH sides are now
order-independent: #2531's "Current default … until #2652" paragraph
becomes a plain troubleshooting note, and this row states the capability
rule without asserting a stamp state. Whichever merges first, the row is
correct; the second merge is a textual conflict at worst.

MINOR — the gate reported a capability verdict the tool never returned.
`ISOLATION=$(… || echo "none")` made a shim-resolution failure, a non-zero
exit and an empty stdout indistinguishable from a declared `none`, so a
transient query failure aborted /gsd:quick on Claude Code with "runtime
'claude' declares no executor-isolation primitive" — false. The gate now
tracks ISOLATION_RESOLVED separately: both paths still fail closed, but only
a real verdict claims the host declares nothing; the unresolved branch says
it could not resolve and points at the shim. Fixed in the canonical
reference so every dispatch site inherits it.

MINOR — quick.md:527 cited #2649 for its own degrade; that is #1941, and
#2649 is the diagnose-issues/execute-plan gate. Corrected, and the
distinction stated so the next reader does not chase it.

MINOR — quick.md:413 (manifest init) and :429 (worktree_branch_check embed)
still branched on USE_WORKTREES while dispatch, manifest-append, merge-back
and the skip clause had all moved to ISOLATION. Safe only by coincidence —
both now key on ISOLATION.

MINOR — the diff removes a second drift-ack entry (the execute-phase.md key
from 2658-trae-instruction-file-path.json), forced by the same duplicate-key
lint rule as the 2649 removal. Disclosed in the PR comment; the earlier
disclosure covered only one of the two.

Verified: lint:ci green; 300/300 across host-integration,
fix-1941-quick-worktree-stale-base, execute-phase-wave and workflow-guard.

Refs #2652

* test(#2652): anchor the emitted-gate finder on the heading, not the assignment

`b89c3fbf` added a finder that located the gate's `Resolve ISOLATION` block by
the literal `ISOLATION=$(gsd_run query dispatch-isolation --raw`. `f3bccf21`
then split that assignment into `_ISOLATION_RAW`/`ISOLATION_RESOLVED` so a shim
failure stops masquerading as a declared `none` — and the finder stopped
matching. The test did not report the drift it exists to catch; it reported
"emitted dispatch-isolation-gate.md has no Resolve ISOLATION bash block" and
went red, and stayed red because the earlier full-suite run was read from a
truncated log.

Anchored on the heading instead. The workflows tell a dispatch site to run the
`Resolve ISOLATION` and `Resolve the harness flag` blocks BY NAME, so the
heading is the contract and the body is free to change under it.

Verified: 413/413 in tests/install.test.cjs. The test still bites — mutating the
gate's `ISOLATION="$_ISOLATION_RAW"` to `ISOLATION=none` turns it red (the
emitted gate then resolves cursor to none and exits 1 instead of printing
harness-worktree), and reverting restores green.

* fix(#2652): wire the canonical resolver at the one dispatch site that still inlined the old shape

Codex review of the whole PR on the new base found one Major, and it was real.

executor-isolation-dispatch.md declares references/dispatch-isolation-gate.md
canonical at line 10, then kept the OLDER resolver inline: `|| echo "none"`, no
ISOLATION_RESOLVED. So the one site that resolves isolation for the wave path
collapsed a shim failure into a declared `none` and aborted with "runtime
'$RUNTIME' declares no executor-isolation primitive" — false for a Claude or
Cursor user whose resolver merely failed to answer. Still fail-closed, so not an
unsafe-dispatch hole, but the correction this PR is about was unwired at the
site that matters most.

Replaced with the gate's exact shape: capture the raw value, track
ISOLATION_RESOLVED, and emit the "could not resolve" FATAL when no verdict was
learned.

Added a regression test in the #2652 dispatch-site parity suite: every file that
ASSIGNS from `gsd_run query dispatch-isolation --raw` must carry
ISOLATION_RESOLVED, must not use the collapsing form, and must have a distinct
unresolved message. Nothing covered this before — install.test.cjs checks the
emitted REFERENCE, not each site's own inline copy, which is exactly how the two
drifted apart.

The test's first draft also flagged quick.md, diagnose-issues.md and
execute-plan.md. That was a false positive worth recording: those three
@-reference the gate and only make `--force-isolation` re-record calls, which
carry no verdict. The predicate now matches an assignment from the resolver, not
any mention of it, so it flags sites that can actually be wrong.

Verified by mutation: restoring the collapsing line reds the new test.

Validated: lint:ci clean; full suite shows the same 7 known failures as the
pre-change baseline — #1160 _resolveManifest and the #3053 quick_id
host-timezone tests (both reproduce on pristine next @ 33fca50d), plus
helpers-cleanup "outside os.tmpdir()", which fails only in a worktree.

* test(#2652): close two vacuous-pass holes in the new inline-resolver guard

Codex cleared the push and flagged the guard test itself. Both holes were real.

SCAN_ROOTS already yields references/dispatch-isolation-gate.md, and the test
appended it a second time, so the candidate list was [executor, gate, gate] and
`length >= 2` was satisfiable by the gate alone. If the executor site had
dropped out of the predicate — the exact regression the test exists to catch —
it would still have passed. Paths are deduped and the assertion now pins the two
expected inliner identities instead of a count.

The collapse detector keyed on `ISOLATION=$(…)`, so `_ISOLATION_RAW=$(… || echo
"none")` restored the identical defect while satisfying every other assertion
(ISOLATION_RESOLVED still appears in the file). Codex mutation-probed exactly
that and it passed. The pattern now matches any assignment target and any
`|| … echo` tail. Verified: that mutation now reds the test.

Test-only change; the workflow bash is byte-identical to the commit the full
suite ran green against. lint:ci clean, host-integration 223/223.

e87fb409ee enhance(#2573): stamp STATE.md with its commit and surface a freshness hint (#2622)
* enhance(#2573): stamp STATE.md with its commit and surface a commit-age freshness hint

Adds a `state_head` stamp to STATE.md and derives a tri-state commit-age
freshness proxy (state_commits_behind / state_commit_stale) through
state.cjs's readStateHeadFreshness, surfaced on smart-entry signals and as
health W024. The proxy is advisory: classify() deliberately does NOT consume
it (ADR-1787 locks the classification/routing boundary — a signal, not a route).

Composes with #3099 and #1882 (both merged to next after this branch): the
commit-age proxy reads `state_head` while the LAST_ACTIVITY_UNPARSEABLE
diagnostic reads `last_activity` — two different fields, not "two staleness
signals on one field." A new regression test asserts a STATE.md carrying both
an unparseable last_activity AND a valid state_head resolves each independently
(diagnostic fires once; freshness reads state_head, commits_behind 0).

Rebased onto next (flattened): resolved the add/add conflicts in
src/smart-entry.cts (kept both the #2573 freshness import/derivation and the
#3099 diagnostic import/call) and tests/smart-entry.unit.test.cjs (kept both
describe blocks). Drift-ack for health.md's W024 row is unchanged (12348 B).
Tests: smart-entry 62, state/state-transition/health/verify 639, all pass.

* chore(#2573): allowlist health-validation test in the prompt-injection scan

The scanner's `exec('` code-execution pattern matches the benign
`re.exec('<phase-id>')` RegExp method calls in the phase-ID grammar tests
(pre-existing: 16 such calls on next, this PR adds none). The file entered the
diff-mode scan's changed-file set only because #2573's W024 state_head
assertions touch it. Allowlist it alongside the other test files that carry
pattern-matching content as data (same DEFECT.PROMPT-INJECTION-SCAN-COLLISION
class). Scanner self-test 38/0; diff scan 14 files, 0 findings.

7a7bf19fc1 enhance(#2872): record scope and runtime in the install manifest (#3323)
* enhance(#2872): record scope and runtime in the install manifest

gsd-file-manifest.json gains manifestVersion, runtime and scope, and a new
read-only Installed Surface Resolver Module reads both install scopes for a
runtime in one call -- the first code path in the repo that does.

Phase 3 of epic #2866 (ADR-2866). Blocks Phase 4 (#2873), which resolves
#2218: the resolver's shadowedBy field is that defect expressed as a value
for the first time. It ships computed-and-unread here.

Installed-ness is decided by manifest PRESENCE, never by the new fields, so
a manifest written by an older GSD stays fully functional and no user needs
to reinstall. Recorded runtime/scope are corroboration: a disagreement with
the probed config dir is reported as declaredScopeMatchesProbe: false, never
silently corrected.

readInstallManifest is widened additively -- version/timestamp/mode/files
keep their exact names, types and meanings for all four existing callers.
manifestVersion is a new field rather than a reinterpretation of version,
which holds the package version and is read by the golden-parity fixtures.

Stems are derived from the installed manifest's own file keys, the inverse
of Phase 2's filename composition, guarded by a fast-check round-trip
property plus a kebab-case charset check so a crafted manifest key cannot
put a traversal segment, control character or ANSI escape into a trigger
that Phase 4 renders back to the user.

Also fixes two defects found while working:
- bin/install.js hardcoded manifestVersion: 2 while the reader owned
  MANIFEST_SCHEMA_VERSION = 2. Now single-sourced, with a parity test.
- docs/installer-migrations.md documented an install-state schema of five
  snake_case fields that have never been written; InstallState has only ever
  been { schemaVersion, appliedMigrations }. Corrected with a dated note.

Verification runs on the remote runner.

* fix(#2872): fold review findings from three independent engines

Standards axis:
- convert the manifest-schema suite from a hybrid setup(t) closure to
  beforeEach/afterEach (CONTRIBUTING.md:319-354 Pattern 1). The hybrid was
  neither approved pattern and a new test forgetting the call got no warning.
- SCOPE_ORDER was declared twice with no parity test -- this repo's recorded
  generative-fix-divergence class. Give the ordering one owner: install-scope
  exports it frozen, the layout module and the resolver both import it, and a
  test locks it against scopeRank so the constant and the ranks cannot drift.
- drop the defaultReadManifest passthrough (Middle Man).

Spec axis:
- add the VOLATILE_FILES exclusion test and source comment the acceptance
  table promised and did not deliver. gsd-file-manifest.json stays excluded:
  the new fields are deterministic, but timestamp -- the original reason --
  is unchanged.

Security axis:
- bound the reported manifest runtime at 64 chars, matching the
  truncatePostureValue convention already used in this subsystem. It reached
  declaredRuntime unbounded while the adjacent stems were gated by SAFE_STEM;
  an inconsistent posture on the same attacker-influenceable document. The
  charset stays ungated on purpose -- declaredRuntimeMatchesProbe needs to see
  the real value -- so Phase 4 must sanitize before rendering, recorded in the
  design's Known limits.

Both new parity tests were verified to FAIL when the two sides are made to
disagree, then pass again on revert. Verification runs on the remote runner.

* chore(#2872): backfill changeset pr number to 3323

* fix(#2872): give git fixture construction its own timeout class

PR #3323's full test (windows-latest, 22, shard 2/3) failed with

  gitOrThrow: 'git init' failed -- outcome=timed_out exitCode=null
  gitOrThrow: 'git commit --allow-empty' failed -- outcome=timed_out

from drift-detection.test.cjs's beforeEach, a file this branch never touched.
Every other lane passed the same commit, including windows-latest node 24 on
all three shards, and next is green.

Root cause is a bound sized for the wrong class. DEFAULT_GIT_TIMEOUT_MS is
15000 and its own comment scopes it to plumbing READS -- rev-parse, branch,
log -- against an existing repo. createFixture uses it for six sequential
repo-CONSTRUCTION spawns: init, three config writes, add -A, commit. init and
commit each write dozens of files, and on Windows every spawn is
Defender-scanned. Sibling tests in the failing block took 15.6-22.0s against
a 15000ms bound.

This repo already diagnosed this exact shape once: timeouts.cjs's
HOOK_FANOUT_TIMEOUT_MS records PR #3285 failing in the SAME job with the SAME
outcome=timed_out exitCode=null signature at the SAME bound while every other
lane passed, and concludes 'a bound sized for the wrong class, not a slow
machine'. It was fixed by splitting out a heavier class-norm at 60000. Same
remedy here: GIT_FIXTURE_TIMEOUT_MS = 60000, 4x the bound that failed and half
INSTALL_TIMEOUT_MS.

DEFAULT_GIT_TIMEOUT_MS deliberately stays at 15000 -- a blanket raise would
stop a genuinely hung plumbing read from surfacing fast.

Verified the value reaches the spawn rather than being an ignored option:
spawnSync was monkeypatched before requiring the fixture module, and all six
git construction calls were captured carrying timeout: 60000.

This branch's two new test files shift shard composition, which is how a
pre-existing fragility landed in the heaviest shard on the slowest lane.
Fixed here rather than deferred, per the no-defer rule.

Verification runs on the remote runner.

80734a9694 chore(#3053): clock-seam ADR-456 amendment + backfill — H2 (#3332)
* test(#3314): backfill deterministic clock-seam coverage (failing-first)

Replaces loose regex/range assertions with exact-value and boundary
tests for the CLI-subprocess and in-process clock-touching call sites
identified by H2's audit (epic #3053): cmdCurrentTimestamp,
_wsParseRetryAfter (commands.cts), cmdInitManager's is_active gate and
cmdInitQuick's quick_id generation (init.cts), and reapStaleTempFiles
(io.cts). The CLI-subprocess-pinned tests are expected RED until a
follow-up commit routes those call sites through realClock so
GSD_TEST_MODE+GSD_NOW_MS can reach them.

* refactor(#3314): route CLI-subprocess clock reads through realClock

cmdCurrentTimestamp, cmdInitManager's is_active gate, and cmdInitQuick's
quick_id generation read Date directly, which the GSD_TEST_MODE+GSD_NOW_MS
subprocess pin cannot reach (it only fires inside realClock.now()).
Behavior-preserving: realClock.now() falls through to Date.now() whenever
GSD_TEST_MODE is unset, which is every real invocation.

* docs(#3314): amend ADR-456 with reachability-based clock-control rule

ADR-456 §(a) documented one mechanism (injected {clock=Date} +
t.mock.timers). Adds the two this repo already relies on: t.mock.timers
for in-process direct-Date reads, and the GSD_TEST_MODE+GSD_NOW_MS
subprocess pin (routed through realClock) for CLI-spawned code. Updates
TESTING-STANDARDS.md's matching passages, which already referenced this
issue by number as the no-elapsed-assertion promotion precondition.

* fix(#3314): address orthogonal review findings

Spec-axis findings: file and link the no-elapsed-assertion promotion
follow-up (#3331) instead of leaving TESTING-STANDARDS.md pointing at
a dead #1885, and ship the module-by-module audit table in the ADR
itself rather than only in a gitignored phase artifact.

Standards-axis finding: pin the "hour-old file = not active" test via
GSD_TEST_MODE+GSD_NOW_MS for consistency with the reachability rule
this PR's own ADR amendment now documents.

8b4545f3c0 feat(#3218): the prompt layer asks the CLI for plan counts (#3327)
* feat(#3218): the prompt layer asks the CLI for plan counts

Seven sites across four workflows counted plans with ls and wc -l instead of
asking the CLI. A shell glob is not scanPhasePlans, so every fix that landed on
the owner missed all seven: they counted superseded plans as live, reported zero
for the nested plans layout, and missed loosely-named files. The 1762 figure of
30 plans and 24 summaries came from here.

phase find is extended rather than a verb added - 3218 is an enhancement whose
own checklist says it adds no new command, and CONTRIBUTING makes a new verb a
feature needing approved-feature. It gains plan_count and summary_count for the
live set and plan_count_all for the physical one, additively; the existing arrays
are untouched.

Both sets are exposed because the sites need different ones. Amendment 1 names
two cases; three of these sites ask a third - did the planner write files to disk
- and take the physical set, because a superseded plan is still a file the
planner wrote.

The progress.md dead route is fixed and was worse than the issue said. It read
.plans and .summaries arrays that roadmap.analyze has never emitted, so the
fallback always fired, both counts were always zero, and Route 0's
resume-incomplete-phase check had never fired at all.

The ratchet baseline is empty. Its own stale-entry check makes that
self-enforcing.

Verified on the remote runner.

* test(#3218): acknowledge the workflow growth and update the stale guard

The emitted-attribution gate named its own remedy, so it was followed rather
than pre-guessed: four workflow files grew between 200 and 770 bytes because each
replaced a shell glob with a find-phase call plus its jq extraction. plan-phase
grew most - two sites, and it takes the physical count for its did-the-planner-
write-files question. progress also carries the Route 0 dead-path fix.

plan-phase-drift-guard asserted the literal old ls shape. Updated rather than
deleted: what it protects is that a filesystem fallback exists and is reachable,
and that is intact. It is not a regression - gsd_run is already load-bearing
throughout plan-phase.md long before step 9, so the 9a and 11a fallback never
existed to survive gsd_run being unavailable; it guards against the planner
subagent's return hanging.

Three ack sources collided with the new fragment, which the gate treats as a hard
error rather than last-wins. Only the three colliding keys were removed, not the
421 spent entries, and two fragments left entryless were deleted per the
convention that an empty fragment signals nothing.

Verified on the remote runner.

* docs(#3218): document the live and physical plan counts

docs/CLI-TOOLS.md gains a find-phase counts section covering plan_count and
summary_count for the live set against plan_count_all for the physical one, plus
the null-not-zero not-found behavior. The live-versus-physical distinction is
spelled out because a caller picking the wrong one gets a plausible number, which
is the trap Amendment 1 records.

Changeset leads with what a user sees: progress and execute-plan stop counting
superseded plans as outstanding, a nested plans layout stops reporting zero, and
Route 0 resume routing starts working after never having worked.

No how-to. Nothing is enabled and nothing is sequenced - the user runs the same
command and the number is simply correct. The one new distinction is field
semantics, which is what a reference entry is for.

* chore(#2896): convert CONTEXT.md prose defect registry into enforced gates

Squashes the prior 4-commit sequence and fixes defects found while
resuming this branch: 5 orphaned/corrupted DEFECT fragment lines left
by an earlier botched edit, 17 "Source of truth: Memtrace `find_symbol`"
placeholders that had destroyed real file-path citations, and 3
DEFECT.GENERATIVE-* entries merged into one RULESET.GENERATIVE-FIX
predicate (policy, not an unenforced defect) to satisfy the zero
DEFECT.<NAME>.<field>= acceptance criterion.

Six mechanizable defects get real gates: DEFECT.UNBOUNDED-SUBPROCESS

(scripts/lint-canary-version-leak.cjs + version-gate.yml),
DEFECT.CHANGESET-PR-FIELD-DRIFT (findPrFieldDrift in changeset/lint.cjs),
DEFECT.FRONTMATTER-SCALAR-BROAD-GREP, DEFECT.REMOVED-BUT-NEEDED, and

Already-enforced and unenforceable prose entries are deleted; the gate

* chore(#2896): route the new lint tests' subprocess calls through the bounded process-seam helper

The 4 new test files for this PR's lint checks called cp.spawnSync/
execFileSync directly with no timeout, tripping this repo's own
existing local/no-unbounded-spawn ESLint rule. Route every one through
runNode/gitOrThrow (tests/helpers/process-seam.cjs,
tests/helpers/git-fixture.cjs) instead, matching the pattern already
used elsewhere in the suite (e.g. tests/changeset-lint.test.cjs).

* fix: register claude-orchestration.cjs and regenerate stale generated indexes

Pre-existing drift on next, unrelated to this PR's own change, surfaced
by running lint:ci as part of verifying #2896: two cli_modules
(claude-orchestration.cjs, write-set.cjs) landed without a manifest
regen, and CONTEXT.md's own edits in this PR staled its two generated
indexes. Adds the missing docs/INVENTORY.md row for
claude-orchestration.cjs (write-set.cjs already had one — only its
manifest entry was stale) and regenerates
docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json, docs/CONTEXT-INDEX.json, and
examples/dynamic-context-management/CONTEXT-INDEX.json.

* fix(#2896): default-flip-documentation lint's local fallback base was main, not next

Found in review: every other base-ref fallback in this repo (see
scripts/changeset/lint.cjs's DEFAULT_BASE, #2988) defaults to `next`,
the integration branch every PR actually targets — `main` is the
release branch. This script's local fallback (used only when
GITHUB_BASE_REF is unset, i.e. never in CI, but potentially on a local
or direct invocation) diffed against the wrong ref. No test exercised
the unset-env-var path, so it shipped unnoticed; every e2e test sets
GITHUB_BASE_REF explicitly and is unaffected by this fix.

* fix(#2896): stale eslint comment, overclaiming CONTEXT.md wording, and an incompletely-regenerated manifest

Found by the isolated Standards code-review pass:
- eslint.config.mjs's require-subprocess-timeout comment said "'warn'
  for now... flip to 'error' once migrated" while the rule already
  shipped as 'error' with all 8 sites migrated in the same commit —
  described a state that never existed.
- The CONTEXT.md pointer block claimed the rule's bounded call sites
  "never throw", but roadmap-upgrade.cts's pre-mutation clean-tree
  check correctly still throws on failure (it gates a destructive
  real-run migration; degrading to "assume clean" would risk clobbering
  uncommitted work) — softened the claim to describe both shapes
  accurately instead of overclaiming one.
- docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json's claude-orchestration.cjs/write-set.cjs
  entries from the prior "fix: register claude-orchestration.cjs..."
  commit didn't actually land — re-running the generator now includes
  them; lint:generated-sync is green.

Windows CI caught it: path.relative(root, abs) returns backslash-

aceea3ce4a refactor(#3217): withhold a percentage when its scope is not complete (#3318)
* wip(#3217): rule-4 scope withholding — parked, two open findings

Implemented but NOT shippable. An isolated review found buildStateFrontmatter
still hardcodes SCOPE.COMPLETE, so state json reports percent 0 where roadmap
analyze, stats and query progress all correctly report null on the same disk
state - rule 4 reintroduced at a site this phase claims to close. Also: roadmap
analyze emits scope complete beside progress_percent null with nothing
explaining it.

Parked to build Phase 4 (#3186) first, which is unblocked. Findings recorded in
.gsd/phase/refactor-3217-completion-ratio-scoping/60-review.json.

* fix(#3217): withhold the sync percentage on a non-complete scope

The parked blocker is fixed - buildStateFrontmatter no longer hardcodes
SCOPE.COMPLETE, and the prose Progress fallback is gated too, which was a second
leak found while tracing the first. roadmap analyze exposes progress_scope so a
consumer can tell WHY a percentage is absent from the JSON alone.

Then a residual gap was reproduced rather than assumed. cmdStateSync carried the
same hardcode behind a written reason claiming it did not reproduce. It did: on a
TRUNCATED window and on UNSCOPED row 4, state sync wrote Progress 0 percent to 100
percent while state json, roadmap analyze, stats and query progress all withheld -
and it persisted a self-contradictory file, body claiming 100 percent while its own
frontmatter correctly omitted percent.

The excuse was also wrong. syncRoadmapRaw is already parsed in that function and is
exactly what produces a real scope, so there was a scope to pass. Threaded through
listMilestonePhaseDirs; a non-complete scope now skips the write with a reason in
changes. milestoneBounded stays as the orthogonal 1761 guard for row 5.

Second time this epic a does-not-reproduce claim was too generous. Recorded in
ADR Amendment 8 as a correction rather than a quiet rewrite.

Verified on the remote runner.

* test(#3217): give the withholding fixtures a resolvable scope

40 matrix failures, all fixture drift - no code regression. My own hypothesis
that this was over-withholding was wrong and is recorded as such: the worry case,
a plain ROADMAP with Phase entries and no version heading, resolves to complete
exactly as ADR 7.1 says it should.

The real causes were two fixture shapes. Most had no ROADMAP.md at all, which is
unreadable via a pre-existing graceful path, and asserted a numeric percent. The
five vscode, pi-extension, mcp-server and shell-projection failures were that
shape - bare temp dirs using progress json as a reachability proxy while
asserting typeof percent is number, which under rule 4 is now null.

The rest had a version token in a title or heading with no STATE.md milestone
pointer to resolve it, which is classification row 4, versioned but unresolved,
so withholding is correct per the contract.

Verified on the remote runner.

* test(#3217): make the LM-tools reachability tests dispatch against their fixture

The gsd_progress reachability test was never testing its fixture. invoke()
resolves cwd from vscode.workspace.workspaceFolders by design (the real
LanguageModelToolInvocationOptions has no cwd field, per the 2103 fix in
extension.js), the mock had no workspace at all, and the test passed a cwd option
nothing reads - so it dispatched against the repo working directory. Writing a
ROADMAP into the temp dir had no effect. Rule 4 only made it visible.

Fixed by mocking workspaceFolders. The two siblings in the same file carried the
identical dead cwd and were dispatching against the repo too; they were not
failing only because their assertions did not touch scope-dependent output. Both
now use their own fixture with assertions unchanged - the no-planning fallback
paths already satisfy them honestly.

Re-scanned the other five reachability files: no further instances. They thread
cwd into parameters that genuinely read it, not through an options shape that
ignores it.

Verified on the remote runner.

* chore(#3217): backfill changeset PR number

pr:0 placeholder replaced with the real number now that #3318 exists.

* ci(#3217): give the coverage merge enough heap for the merged shards

The coverage gate OOMed at exit 134. c8 report merges three shard artifacts,
roughly 358MB of V8 dumps in coverage/tmp, and died holding their per-file
position maps at the ~4GB default heap. Verified as this branch's delta rather
than pre-existing: the same job succeeded on next at 14:18, after phases 4 and 5
merged.

Both coverage-gate steps get the bump because both re-slice the same merged data.
8192 doubles what failed and leaves headroom on a 16GB ubuntu runner, matching
the idiom the shard step already uses at 6144.

This is a memory bound, not a change to what is measured. No threshold was
touched. The test file was checked for gratuitous subprocess spawning and is
already reasonable at 43 spawns, each a distinct fixture-by-surface pairing.

Verified on the remote runner.

e201cde73c refactor(#3186): one shared phase-completion predicate, disk-strict (#3306)
* docs(#3186): record the disk-strict completion decision in ADR-3180 7.4

The maintainer decided #2957 on 2026-08-08: disk state is authoritative and a
ROADMAP checkbox is a human annotation with no machine authority. Section 7.4
still carried the OPEN QUESTION and was marked blocked, so the contract said one
thing and the tracker another.

Recorded per section 7's own rule - a behavior not stated there is not decided,
and amending a rule is an ADR amendment rather than a code change with a comment.
The decision comment names Phase 4's PR as the carrier of this edit and makes it
an acceptance criterion that the text be in the tree before implementation
begins, so this lands first, alone, ahead of any code.

Also clears the stale blocked-on-2957 row in the guard roster.

* refactor(#3186): one shared phase-completion predicate, disk-strict

isPhaseComplete in verification.cts becomes the single owner. It calls
readVerificationStatus UNCONDITIONALLY - plan count is not a precondition - so a
zero-plan phase with a passing VERIFICATION.md is complete. That is #3168: init
gated the read on a plan count and synthesized a not_required sentinel, so
phase.complete succeeded while init.manager reported incomplete for the same
phase.

The guard, built and run before scope was fixed per Amendment 3, found 9
re-derivations where the ADR named 3. Four were unnamed, including one in the
prompt layer: mvp-phase.md ORed a ticked checkbox with disk status, which under
disk-strict is the divergence itself.

Per the #2957 decision, a ticked ROADMAP checkbox is a human annotation with no
machine authority. The overrides in roadmap analyze and init manager are deleted
rather than generalized; the user's checkbox stays in ROADMAP.md, only its
authority goes.

scanPhasePlans.completed and buildWorkstreamInventory are deliberately NOT folded
- they answer 'are all plans summarized', which is a different question, and
folding them would either over-report completion or invert the dependency
direction between Phase 1's owner and this one.

Verified on the remote runner.

* fix(#3186): close seven review findings and record the missing-verdict rule

The isolated review reproduced a write-path regression I introduced: migrating
cmdRoadmapUpdatePlanProgress dropped its summaryCount>=planCount gate, so a phase
with a fresh passing verification plus a newly-added unsummarized plan reported
complete AND wrote a checkbox into ROADMAP.md while phase complete refused. The
owner stays right per 7.4 - plan count is not a completion precondition - so the
gate is restored at the write site as an explicit composition, mirroring the
separate 2648 unexecuted-plan gate cmdPhaseComplete already carries.

The spec axis was right that my 0.x-split reasoning was too permissive. The 2957
decision names buildStateFrontmatter as one of the three that must converge, and
buildWorkstreamInventory combined a summaries-met local with verification data to
decide the same verdict - Decision 4(c)'s named bypass, and it reproduced 3168 in
a third surface. Both now route through the owner. The raw scanPhasePlans helper
stays: it answers are-plans-summarized, which genuinely is a different question.

Maintainer decision recorded in 7.4: a missing verdict is not a passing one, so
an absent VERIFICATION.md means not complete everywhere. That retires 2645's
verifier-disabled tolerance and inverts its Goodhart incentive - deleting the
evidence now lowers completion instead of raising it.

Guard hardened: block-form count gates and algebraic restatements are caught, and
the header now discloses its remaining limits instead of overclaiming.

Verified on the remote runner.

* fix(#3186): route state sync through the owner and catch bare completed reads

The matrix found 52 failures. 51 were fixtures asserting the old semantics: a
phase with plans and summaries but no VERIFICATION.md used to count complete and
correctly no longer does. Each fixture now carries a passing verification where
that is what the test was actually about, rather than having its assertion
weakened.

The 52nd was a real 10th re-derivation the guard could not see. cmdStateSync
destructured scanPhasePlans().completed directly - a bare field read, not a
comparison - and used it as a completion verdict, so state sync and state json
disagreed on completed_phases for identical disk state. Routed through the owner.

Guard gains shape (d): any read of .completed off a scanPhasePlans() result
outside plan-scan.cts, in chained, destructured and indirect forms, function
scoped with no line window. It cannot tell a summaries-met read from a completion
read - that is data flow - so it flags every one and requires a written-reason
exemption, which is the same discipline shapes a-c already use. The blind spot is
disclosed in the header rather than overclaimed.

The emitted-attribution failure was also mine, not pre-existing: the mvp-phase.md
checkbox-OR removal moves emitted bytes, acknowledged in tests/emitted-drift-acks.

Verified on the remote runner.

* test(#3186): give the nested-plans sync fixture a passing verification

Last 3 matrix failures were one failure echoing up two describe levels. Phase
01-alpha had plans and summaries but no VERIFICATION.md, so under disk-strict
completed stayed 0 and no Progress change was emitted - correct new behavior, not
a regression.

Added the passing verification rather than dropping the Progress expectation, so
the test still covers what #3257 is about: that a nested plans/ layout is counted
and not undercounted. Probe against the built lib confirms
Progress: 0% -> 50% alongside Total Plans in Phase: 0 -> 3.

96a82bbffb enhance(#3245): report the detected host runtime in init (#3307)
* test(#3245): failing-first coverage for host runtime detection in init

Locks the behavior epic #2313 Phase 5 must produce before any of it exists: init reports the detected host, explicit GSD_RUNTIME and config runtime still outrank detection, non-Codex sessions are untouched, and nothing is ever written to shared defaults (#2297).

* enhance(#3245): report the detected host runtime in init

init reported agent_runtime: claude inside a Codex session, and resolved agents_dir to the Claude agents root with agents_installed: true — a spuriously healthy triple. Runtime identity was only ever read from GSD_RUNTIME or an explicit runtime in .planning/config.json.

Adds a detection rung beneath both explicit sources, in a new pure module. Codex is identified from its own documented session environment (CODEX_SANDBOX / CODEX_SANDBOX_NETWORK_DISABLED), else an explicitly exported CODEX_HOME whose config.toml exists. The default ~/.codex is never probed: that file exists on every machine that has run Codex, so probing it would misreport other runtimes' sessions.

resolveRuntime keeps its exact contract and all 71 dependents, including formatGsdSlash command-style emission; only withProjectRoot consumes the new rung. Nothing is written on any path (#2297). Explicit config still wins (#2517).

* fix(#3245): make the parity guard real and single-source the marker

Four independent review passes found the generative-fix-divergence guard was vacuous: it asserted agreement at the one input where inferPreferredRuntime and detectHostRuntime do not differ, so it could not fail. It now pins the actual divergence point (CODEX_HOME set, config.toml absent) and records that the asymmetry is deliberate.

The config.toml marker is now single-sourced from update-context.cts and imported, rather than carried independently by two surfaces. tests/helpers.cjs now scrubs CODEX_SANDBOX and CODEX_SANDBOX_NETWORK_DISABLED: GSD reads them, so an ambient Codex session would otherwise make the non-codex control test fail non-deterministically.

Also: detection is throw-safe end to end rather than only around the fs probe; the Windows-join test is replaced with one that can actually fail (trailing-separator, catches hand-rolled concatenation); the #2297 no-write proof now wraps resolveReportedRuntime, the function that ships, across all three ladder outcomes.

d28ab7c8f7 enhance(#3243): sync installed codex .toml model/effort to the passive posture (#3296)
* feat(#3243): sync installed codex .toml model/effort to the passive posture

Implements ADR-2313 D7, and owns the Codex .toml typed IR that Phase 1's
review assigned to this phase.

The IR exists for a structural reason, not tidiness: this phase has to
PARSE these files, and a parser kept bug-compatible with a separate
renderer is the generative-fix-divergence shape this epic already dealt
with once for the model predicate. So Phase 2's parsing MOVES here
rather than being copied — agent-install-check now imports it, and its
test file passing unchanged is the proof the extraction altered nothing.

The load-bearing property is byte-identical round-trip: render(parse(x))
=== x. Without it a sync silently reformats a user's file — line
endings, key order, BOM, trailing newline — turning a two-line repair
into a whole-file diff in their dotfile repo. The IR keeps original
lines and removes targeted ones rather than reconstructing from parsed
fields, which is what makes that property hold.

It also reconciles a real contradiction between Phase 2 and ADR-2313. An
unterminated developer_instructions block: the reader excludes the rest
of the file, deliberately failing toward a false positive, because
misreading prose as a pin only wastes a user's time. The writer must
refuse, because proceeding on a malformed document rewrites it. A false
positive is the safe direction for a reader and the dangerous one for a
writer. So the parse reports the fact and the two consumers branch on
it — one parse, one truth, two policies, instead of two parsers that
agree today.

The sync leaves a legal real-Codex pin and its coupled effort untouched,
reported skipped rather than synced; strips a stale Anthropic or tier
model and an orphaned effort; keeps dry-run as the default; refuses any
file whose parse fails; and skips symlinks exactly as the Claude path
already did. The Claude path itself is byte-identical.

PARSE_REASON.NO_HEADER from the ADR's illustrative snippet is
deliberately not implemented — a missing header is legal, not an error,
so it would be a dead enum member that the enum-lock test then pins.

* fix(#3243): preserve per-line endings and make the codex write atomic

Two findings from an isolated review, both in the write path.

BLOCKER: mixed line endings broke the byte-identical round-trip. `eol`
was a single whole-file flag and split(/\r?\n/) discarded each line's
own terminator, so render re-joined with ONE style and normalized every
line — even with zero strips performed. A file with one CRLF line and
the rest LF came back fully converted. That falsified the A14 guarantee,
violated the design's "must not silently rewrite every line", and made
the CONTEXT.md glossary claim wrong. It was untested because A12 and B15
only cover PURE CRLF; no mixed-ending fixture existed anywhere.

Fixed by keeping each line's terminator alongside its content, so render
is a plain concatenation and a strip removes only the target line and
its own terminator. `eol` survives as informational metadata that render
never reads. Seven fixtures added for the paths nothing exercised:
mixed endings unmodified and with a strip, a lone \r, a file ending on
the block's closing ''' with no newline, multiple trailing newlines, a
BOM-only file, and an empty file.

MINOR, but it contradicted this phase's own contract: the write was
in-place open-truncate, so a failure between truncate and completion
leaves a truncated .toml — exactly what ADR-2313 says must never happen.
The Codex path now writes a sibling temp file and renames over the
target, which is atomic on one filesystem, with cleanup on failure. It
uses the repo's existing retryRenameSync rather than a hand-rolled
rename, and deliberately NOT platformWriteSync, whose normalizeContent
would mangle the very CRLF and trailing-newline bytes the round-trip
property exists to preserve.

The Claude path keeps its in-place write untouched. It has the same
shape, but changing it is not this phase's business and its tests must
stay byte-identical.

B20 previously mocked writeFileSync to throw BEFORE touching anything,
so it proved nothing about a mid-write failure — its passing comment was
true only because of how the mock was built. It now performs a real
truncated write wherever writeFileSync is called, catching both the
naive direct-to-target path and the new temp path, and asserts the
target is byte-identical afterwards with no stray temp file left.

* fix(#3243): preserve the trailing-newline state when stripping a last line

Caught by B17, one of this phase's own tests — the suite working, not a
test problem.

Content is reconstructed as the concatenation of lines[k] +
terminators[k], so a file with no trailing newline has '' as its last
terminator. removeLine spliced out both arrays at the same index, which
is right for a middle line but wrong for the last one: it dropped the
empty terminator and left the PREVIOUS line's newline in place. A file
ending `...\nmodel = "sonnet"` with no trailing newline came back
as `...\n`, gaining a newline the user never wrote.

The new last line now inherits the removed line's terminator, so a
removal leaves the file exactly as if that line had never been written.
Removing the only line yields an empty file rather than a stray
terminator.

Both stripModel and stripReasoningEffort funnel through the one
removeLine, confirmed rather than assumed, so a single fix covers both —
including the row-B7 shape where a stale model and its orphaned effort
are removed in sequence and the second removal targets the last line.

Two of the four new cases are honestly not red-first and say so in
their comments: removing a last line that HAS a trailing newline only
exposes the bug under mixed EOL, since uniform files coincidentally
have equal terminators on both sides; and removing the only line
already degenerated correctly through Array.slice. They are kept as
guards for the new branch rather than dressed up as catches.

* docs(#3243): document the codex repair path and close the loop

How-to: the Codex-400 entry added in Phase 2 told users to re-run the
installer, because that was the only repair available then. It now leads
with `effort sync` and keeps the reinstall as the alternative, with the
reason to prefer one — a reinstall regenerates the agent files
wholesale, so anyone who hand-edited theirs loses those edits. Detect,
preview, apply is now one continuous path in one place.

Reference: docs/COMMANDS.md had no `effort sync` entry at all — the same
gap `validate agents` had in Phase 2, found the same way. The entry
documents BOTH runtimes, because the command genuinely forks on runtime
and describing only the new half would misdescribe it.

The write flag is `--apply`. The design doc and test matrix both said
`--no-dry-run` throughout, which does not exist — verified against the
actual arg parser in gsd-tools.cjs before writing. Documenting a flag
that does not exist is worse than documenting nothing, because it fails
at the moment someone needs it.

Both surfaces state that only the targeted lines are removed and every
other byte is preserved. That is a user-visible guarantee rather than an
implementation note: it is the difference between a two-line diff and a
reformatted file in someone's dotfile repo, it is what the IR's
round-trip property exists to deliver, and writing it down makes it a
contract a future change has to break knowingly.

* fix(#3243): inherit the trailing-newline state, not the line ending style

My previous rule was subtly wrong and this phase's own test caught it.

"The new last line inherits the removed line's terminator" copies the
removed line's STYLE as well as its presence. A26 uses mixed endings on
purpose — line one terminated \r\n, the model line terminated \n — so
inheriting silently rewrote line one's ending to \n. That is precisely
the defect class the mixed-EOL blocker fix existed to eliminate,
reintroduced one layer down by the fix for it.

The correct rule inherits the EMPTINESS only. If the removed line had no
terminator, the new last line loses its own, preserving "this file has
no trailing newline". Otherwise the new last line keeps its own
terminator: it is already a newline, and already the right style for
that line.

A26's assertion moved too, and that deserves saying plainly rather than
burying: it previously encoded my wrong rule. Changing a test to match
the implementation is usually the mistake, so it was checked from first
principles instead — a file whose first line ends \r\n and whose last
line ends \n, with that last line removed entirely, must be the first
line with its own \r\n intact. The new expectation is what the user's
file should actually look like; the old one was wrong.

A29 adds the interaction nothing covered: the compounding case (strip a
stale model, then its orphaned effort, the second removal landing on the
last line) with non-uniform endings either side. The two fixes meet
there and nothing exercised the meeting point.

* fix(#3243): drop the phantom trailing line from the IR representation

Root cause, not another patch on the removal rule. Three consecutive
fixes there each surfaced the next issue, which was the signal that the
data model was wrong.

splitPreservingTerminators left a phantom empty final entry for any file
ending in a newline: "a\nb\n" became lines ['a','b','']. So for the
common case the real last content line was NOT the last array element,
removeLine's isLastLine check never matched it, and every rule I gave
was reasoning about the wrong element.

What hid it: render was already a plain concatenation, so a phantom
empty line with an empty terminator contributes nothing to the output.
A14's byte-identical round-trip could never have caught it — the defect
is byte-neutral until a removal shifts the index arithmetic under it.
That is worth recording, because "the round-trip test is green" was
exactly the reassurance that kept the search pointed elsewhere.

The representation is now 1:1 — terminators[i] follows lines[i] and may
be '' — with no phantom, verified across empty, no-trailing-newline,
trailing-newline, blank-line and mixed-CRLF inputs. render stays a plain
concat and needs no special cases. With the phantom gone the removal
rule is correct as stated and finally applies to the genuinely last
element.

Consumers checked rather than assumed: the block-range detector and
header scanner are agnostic to array shape, and Phase 2's reader uses
its own independent split, so tests/agent-install-check.test.cjs is
untouched and still passes unchanged.

One test expectation was wrong and is corrected rather than quietly
adjusted: A18 asserted a 7-element terminators array whose trailing ''
was the phantom itself. It now asserts the six real terminators, which
is what the invariant lines.length === terminators.length requires.

2dbee3ebdd enhance(#2229): add three-way claim disposition (admit/refute/abstain) to /gsd-explore research pass (#2543)
Closes #2229.

Each claim surfaced by /gsd-explore's research pass is dispositioned admit, refute, or abstain, with abstentions routed to a visible ledger instead of being smoothed into confident prose. Refute and abstain are separated by whether the disagreeing source is authoritative for that claim; a strong prior is never authoritative alone.

Two guards ride with it: conflict-abstention, and a tier floor that presents a would-be admit as an abstain when the researcher's resolved tier is the budget tier or cannot be determined.

To make that floor enforceable, resolve-model now emits the effective tier (--pick tier). It was already computed above the resolve_model_ids omit gate but was unreachable from a workflow, which left the floor inert on every non-Claude install - the model id is blank under omit and runtime-substituted where a tier map exists, and the profile defaults to balanced. The tier signal mirrors every resolution step that can change which tier runs, including the model_policy preset, and reports unknown rather than guessing. Output is additive; model, profile and effort are unchanged.

Two residuals are disclosed in the workflow rather than papered over: a raw-model-id model_overrides pin reports unknown and is floored (fails closed), and a model_profile_overrides entry repointing a tier at another tier's model can under-report (fails open, and predates this change).

Admin merge used only to satisfy the missing secondary reviewer on a single-maintainer PR. No CI failure and no conflict were bypassed: 38 checks green, remote runner 32255/32255 on both Node lanes.

693f12ad56 refactor(#3187): give state field extraction one canonical owner (#3283)
* refactor(#3187): give state field extraction one canonical owner

stateFieldValue in state-document.cts becomes the single owner of the #1760
frontmatter-then-body fallback chain. The new whole-repo guard found 14
independent re-derivations where the epic scoped 5, all now routed through it:
cmdStateSnapshot (11), cmdStatePrune (2) and smart-entry fmScalar (1).

state validate was a gate that could not fail. Every warning it could emit sat
behind a phase resolved without the frontmatter tier, so a STATE.md whose phase
lives only in frontmatter skipped the drift scan entirely and returned
valid:true. It also read unstripped content, letting a frontmatter status: key
shadow the body field (#1255 class). Both fixed; output gains a scope field so
could-not-look stops being output-identical to looked-and-clean.

Verified on the remote runner.

* docs(#3187): document the state validate scope field and its reason codes

Adds docs/how-to/interpret-state-validate-results.md so a reader can tell
nothing-to-report from could-not-look, updates the COMMANDS.md and USER-GUIDE.md
entries, corrects the CONTEXT.md glossary overstatement about Current Position
sole ownership, and drops the changeset fragment.

* fix(#3187): close three drift-guard evasion shapes and test the refuse path

The isolated adversarial review found the ladder detector was evadable by
ordinary reformatting, not just deliberately: a member or computed operand
(fm.key / fm[key]) missed the bare-identifier backreference, a swapped tier
order missed a hardcoded number-then-boolean sequence, and a ladder wrapped
across lines missed single-line detection. All three now caught, each with its
own test plus a proven boundary control.

The frontmatter-parse refuse path on the destructive complete-phase route was
unreachable and therefore untested. It is now driven by an injected parse
failure and asserts STATE.md is byte-identical after the refusal, rather than
shipping untested defensive code on a path that rewrites user state.

Verified on the remote runner.

* fix(#3187): widen the drift guard to the prompt layer and disclose tier-2 changes

The code-review spec axis found the guard's scan surface was src/ only, which is
Decision 4(d)'s forbidden allowlist one directory wide - and it had a live miss:
gsd-core/workflows/smart-entry.md tells an agent to read status from frontmatter
or the body, a prose expression of this same chain. The surface now covers the
prompt layer. That one site carries a permanent written exemption rather than a
ratchet: it is the gsd-tools-is-down fallback, so it cannot call the owner by
construction, and a ratchet would imply removable debt that does not exist.

Two tier-2 output changes shipped undisclosed and are now named in the changeset
and docs: complete-phase's idempotency guard consulting frontmatter, and the
workstream inventory resolving frontmatter-only fields. docs/COMMANDS.md gains a
state complete-phase entry, which it never had.

Also records Amendment 5 on ADR-3180, extracts the duplicated frontmatter-parse
block the epic's own thesis forbids, and re-points two assertions from free-form
warning prose onto the structured drift object.

Verified on the remote runner.

* chore(#3187): backfill changeset PR number

pr:0 placeholder replaced with the real PR number now that #3283 exists.
