* docs: enforce automation-first checkpoint verification
Checkpoints should never ask users to run CLI commands that Claude Code
can execute. This update reinforces the automation-first principle:
Key changes:
- Add golden rules: Claude runs CLI, users only visit URLs
- Add dev server automation patterns (start before checkpoint)
- Add environment variable CLI patterns (Convex, Vercel, etc.)
- Add anti-patterns: asking user to run npm, add dashboard env vars
- Update all examples to show Claude starting servers
- Add comprehensive "Never Ask Users To" and "Users Only Do" lists
- Update gsd-executor with pre-checkpoint automation requirements
The core principle: if Claude CAN automate it, Claude MUST automate it.
Users only do what requires human judgment (visual verification, UX).
* refactor: DRY checkpoint automation with server lifecycle and error handling
Changes:
- checkpoints.md is now single source of truth for automation-first patterns
- Added server lifecycle protocol (start, port conflicts, cleanup)
- Added CLI installation handling (auto-install matrix)
- Added pre-checkpoint failure handling (fix before checkpoint)
- Removed ~93 lines of duplication from verification-patterns.md
- Replaced inline examples in phase-prompt.md with references
- Slimmed gsd-executor.md checkpoint section to reference checkpoints.md
Net effect: -23 lines while adding 3 new capabilities (server lifecycle,
CLI install, error handling). Single place to update automation patterns.

Rolled back the intel system due to overengineering concerns:
- 1200+ line hook with SQLite graph database
- 21MB sql.js dependency
- Entity generation spawning additional Claude calls
- Complex system with unclear value
Removed:
- /gsd:analyze-codebase command
- /gsd:query-intel command
- gsd-intel-index.js, gsd-intel-session.js, gsd-intel-prune.js hooks
- gsd-entity-generator, gsd-indexer agents
- entity.md template
- sql.js dependency
Preserved:
- Model profiles feature
- Statusline hook
- All other v1.9.x improvements
-3,065 lines removed

- Add load_codebase_intelligence step to gsd-planner.md
- Add load_codebase_intelligence step to gsd-executor.md
- Include .planning/intel/summary.md in plan context template
- Subagents now use detected conventions during planning/execution
* feat: add uncommitted planning mode
Add config option to keep planning docs local-only (not committed to git).
Useful for OSS contributions, client projects, or keeping planning private.
Config options in .planning/config.json:
- planning.commit_docs: true/false (default: true)
- planning.search_gitignored: true/false (default: false)
When commit_docs=false:
- All git operations for .planning/ files are skipped
- User should add .planning/ to .gitignore
- Planning system works normally, just not tracked
Updated files:
- config.json template: added planning section
- execute-plan.md: conditional git commits
- execute-phase.md: conditional git commits
- create-roadmap.md: conditional git commits
- help.md: documented new config options
- planning-config.md: reference doc for config behavior

* feat: extend commit_docs check to all agents/commands/workflows
Add COMMIT_PLANNING_DOCS config check to all files that commit
.planning/ artifacts, ensuring consistent behavior when
commit_docs=false is set in config.json.
Updated:
- 5 agents (planner, executor, debugger, phase-researcher, synthesizer)
- 8 commands (add-todo, check-todos, execute-phase, new-milestone,
pause-work, plan-milestone-gaps, remove-phase, research-project)
- 7 workflows (complete-milestone, create-milestone, define-requirements,
diagnose-issues, discuss-phase, map-codebase, verify-work)

* fix(progress): use Bash instead of Glob for .planning/ check
Glob respects .gitignore, so projects with gitignored .planning/
directories would fail with "No planning structure found."

* fix(new-milestone): integrate full research/requirements/roadmap flow
Previously routed to non-existent /gsd:research-project and
/gsd:define-requirements commands. Now handles the full flow inline
like new-project does:
- Phase 7: Research Decision (spawns 4 milestone-aware researchers)
- Phase 8: Define Requirements (scopes features, creates REQUIREMENTS.md)
- Phase 9: Create Roadmap (continues phase numbering from previous milestone)
- Phase 10: Done
Key adaptations for milestones:
- Research focuses on NEW features only
- Requirements add to existing, don't start fresh
- Phase numbering continues from previous milestone

/gsd:execute-phase handles single and multiple plans.
All references updated to use execute-phase.

Moves all plan execution logic into a dedicated subagent:
- Deviation rules, checkpoint protocols, commit formatting
- Summary creation, state updates, TDD execution
- Authentication gate handling, continuation support
Installer now copies agents/ to ~/.claude/agents/
