* enhance(#4570): allow disabling planner stall detection

* docs(#4570): add changelog fragment

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: plan-phase.md — the explicit opt-out gate covers all five planner and checker spawn classes
Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: settings-advanced.md — the toggle prompt and bounded-recovery warning expose the new setting

* chore(#4570): refresh compact-content baseline

* fix(#4570): preserve default-on watchdog fallback

* docs(#4570): qualify the chunked-mode orchestrator rules with the toggle

The two chunked-planning-mode stall-watch imperatives read as
unconditional, with the opt-out stated only in a following bullet. State
the PLANNER_STALL_DETECTION_ENABLED condition inline, matching the three
sites already qualified in plan-phase.md.

* chore(#4570): refresh compact-content baselines against rebased next

* fix(#4570): sync planner stall launcher

Keep the stall-detection helper aligned with the canonical runtime launcher.

* chore(#4570): refresh compact baseline after rebase

88b5775dc8 enhance(#4223): default-off interaction capture for gsd-ui-auditor via the chrome-devtools CLI (#4477)
* enhance(#4223): default-off interaction capture for gsd-ui-auditor via the chrome-devtools CLI

gsd-ui-auditor is chartered to audit interaction and handed a capture
driver with no interaction verb: `npx playwright screenshot` cannot
click, fill, hover, press or snapshot, so a hover state, an open menu,
a focus ring or a form's validation state never appears in its
evidence and every Experience Design finding degrades to code reading.

Implements the shape approved at triage, not a new capability:

- capabilities/ui/capability.json declares `workflow.ui_interaction_capture`
  (boolean, default false) on the capability that already owns the
  auditor (ADR-894 one-owner invariant); capability-registry.cjs regenerated.
- gsd-core/workflows/ui-review.md reads the key through gsd_run and hands
  it to the auditor as `interaction_capture:` in the spawn <config> block —
  the auditor carries no gsd_run resolver, so the key travels by value.
- agents/gsd-ui-auditor.md gains an anchored interaction-capture section
  AFTER the static block. With the key on and a Chrome binary resolved it
  starts the `chrome-devtools` CLI (chrome-devtools-mcp, floor ^1.8.0) on
  an --isolated profile, opens the dev URL the static block reached,
  takes the a11y snapshot for element uids, captures the baseline and a
  Tab focus-ring state, drives the UI-SPEC's interactive components, saves
  console output, and stops the daemon unconditionally. Key off, no dev
  server, or no Chrome: one status line, and the Playwright-only static
  path runs exactly as before — the static fence is untouched.

Needs only Bash: no MCP server, no tools: change. Chromium-only by
nature; Firefox/WebKit stay on Playwright. `wait_for` is MCP-only, so
readiness is polled through evaluate_script.

* test(#4223): bind the interaction-capture shape and containment

- manifest, generated registry, config schema and config-set/loadConfig
  all know workflow.ui_interaction_capture as a default-off boolean, and
  hand-written non-booleans fall to the slice default
- the orchestrator reads the key and hands it down; the auditor never
  grows a gsd_run dependency
- the static fence stays Playwright-only and the interaction fence
  chrome-devtools-only, so key-off is today's path
- the interaction fence runs under bash with a stub driver on PATH: key
  off / absent / no dev server / no Chrome invoke nothing; the happy path
  starts first and stops last on the [selected] pageId with the documented
  flags; a failed capture is removed and not counted; new_page and start
  failures still honour the stop-only-if-started rule; CHROME_BIN and
  CHROME_DEVTOOLS_MCP_VERSION overrides flow through
- docs/CONFIGURATION.md row shape; registered in the docs-guard lane

* docs(#4223): document workflow.ui_interaction_capture and its how-to

- docs/CONFIGURATION.md: one row in the workflow.* table, default-off
- docs/AGENTS.md: the gsd-ui-auditor entry names the key and what the
  interaction-capture section adds, skips and never claims
- docs/how-to/enable-ui-interaction-capture.md: turn it on, read the
  `**Interaction captures:**` outcomes, what it does not do, turn it off
- docs/README.md: index the how-to beside live-DOM verification

* enhance(#4223): use the /gsd:ui-review namespace form in the auditor's prose

Claude-facing source (agents/, workflows/) uses the /gsd:<cmd> namespace;
the hyphen form is retired there and the slash-command-namespace guard
rejects it. docs/ keep the hyphen form by convention.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-ui-auditor.md — #4223: the anchored default-off interaction-capture section (prose + one bash fence) appended after the static Playwright block inside <screenshot_approach>, plus one `**Interaction captures:**` line in each of the two report templates, one completion-checklist line and one Step-3 sentence. The static fence is byte-identical to next; nothing was removed or reordered.
Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: ui-review.md — #4223: a two-line config-get read + true/false normalisation in step 0 and one `interaction_capture:` line in the spawn <config> block with a three-line note on why the value travels by prompt. No step, gate, or dispatch shape changed.

* enhance(#4223): per-run daemon session, bounded navigation, and step failures that count

Three findings from the pre-file adversarial review of the interaction
fence, folded in:

- `--sessionId <epoch>-<pid>` on every driver call. `start` restarts
  whatever daemon shares its session and --isolated isolates only the
  browser profile, so two concurrent audits — or an audit beside the
  operator's own CLI daemon — would otherwise stop each other. The CLI
  accepts hex and dashes only; the id is validated by the test stub.
- `new_page --timeout 30000`: the one verb that takes a bound, placed
  before every verb that does not, so a hung page is caught first.
- a failed take_snapshot or press_key now increments the failure count
  and is named on stdout; two clean screenshots can no longer read as
  `0 failed` after the step that gives the interactions their uids failed.

* enhance(#4223): subshell-unique session id, CRLF-safe page-id parse, stale-snapshot removal

Second review round, both reviewers:

- session id is `<epoch>-<BASHPID>-<RANDOM>`: `$$` is inherited by a
  subshell, so two audits forked from one parent in the same second
  shared an id and could stop each other's daemon (driven by the reviewer)
- `tr -d '\r'` before the `[selected]` parse so a CRLF-emitting driver
  under Git Bash still matches the `$` anchor, and `|| true` on the
  assignment so a failed new_page cannot abort the block under
  `set -e -o pipefail` before the unconditional stop
- a failed take_snapshot removes any snapshot.txt it left or inherited
  from a reused directory, so stale uids never drive the interactions
- `<config>` placeholder is `{interaction_capture}`, lowercase like its
  `{phase_dir}` / `{padded_phase}` siblings — the block is a prompt
  template, not a bash heredoc
- how-to: the `not captured` row no longer claims the daemon started

* enhance(#4223): check new_page's exit status before parsing its output; regression cases for the edges

Third review round:

- a new_page that prints a page line and then exits non-zero is a failed
  navigation, not a page id: the exit status is checked in an `if` before
  the output is parsed (driven by the reviewer against the previous
  `|| true`, which masked exactly that)
- regression cases for what the last two rounds added: CRLF driver
  output, a stale snapshot removed on failure, partial-output new_page
  failure, and the whole fence under `set -e -o pipefail` (both the
  failed-navigation path and the happy path)
- the harness whitelist gains `date`; the session-id assertion now
  requires all three parts, so a silently empty epoch cannot hide again

* enhance(#4223): keep gsd-ui-auditor under the DEFAULT-tier size cap; changeset pr placeholder

- the three review folds pushed agents/gsd-ui-auditor.md to 25179 bytes,
  over the 24576-byte hard cap tests/agent-size-budget.test.cjs enforces;
  the interaction section's comments are tightened to the same content
  in fewer bytes (23559 now). No bash changed — the fence's own tests and
  the real-browser run are unchanged.
- .changeset/vivid-yaks-fly.md carries the policy placeholder `pr: 0`, which
  the post-create backfill rewrites to the PR's own number.

* chore(#4223): set changeset fragment pr to 4477

* test(#4223): compare the fence's status path with the separator the fence uses

On the windows-latest lane the happy-path case failed on `\interaction` vs
`/interaction` alone: the fence joins "$SCREENSHOT_DIR/interaction" with a
literal slash, and the assertion built its expectation with path.join. Every
other case in the file passed on that lane, including the CRLF and
errexit/pipefail ones.

* test(#4223): drop the inert file-header allow-test-rule marker

Review round 1 on #4477: the `source-text-is-the-product` marker sat at
line 2, outside no-source-grep's 8-line lookahead of every readFileSync
site (the first is ~60 lines down), so it suppressed nothing. It was also
unnecessary: every read in this file is a .md/.json path, which the rule
does not trigger on. Deleted rather than relocated — there is no site to
relocate it to. Negative control: `eslint` on the file is clean without it.

* chore(#4223): regenerate the platform-conformance-tier lists for the new test

Review round 3 on #4477. `next` gained chore(#4591)'s platform-conformance-tier
gate after this branch opened; its two committed lists must name every file
under tests/, and this PR's tests/ui-interaction-capture.test.cjs had never
been in them. Once the branch was updated against next the lists were stale
and three jobs went red on head 575667dd: lint-tests (gen-platform-conformance-tier
--check), conformance test (macos-latest) at 546 !== 547, and shard 1/3's
fragment-single-edit-propagation, which sees the same staleness as regen:derived
touching files beyond the fragment edit under test.

Regenerated with the repo's own generators, no hand-editing. The general tier
goes 546 -> 547 and the macOS tier 196 -> 197, each by exactly this one entry;
both --check arms are clean. Verified the red is this PR's own file and not
base drift: at upstream/next both generators report "list matches" (546 / 196),
and our committed copies were byte-identical to next's before this commit.

* fix(#4223): bound, confine and trap the chrome-devtools driver fence

Round 4 — three findings in one fence, interleaved on the same lines, so one
commit:

- Every driver call is time-bounded. `cdt <ceiling> <verb>` runs the client as a
  background job in its own process group (`set -m`) under a watchdog that kills
  the whole group at the ceiling — TERM, then KILL two seconds later. One pid is
  not enough: npm forwards SIGTERM only to its direct child, so killing `npx`
  alone leaves the client holding the fence's stdout and a `$(cdt … new_page)`
  capture blocked past the ceiling (driven against a real npx tree by the
  round's adversarial review; the pid-only first cut of this commit had exactly
  that hole). The watchdog is an exec'd bash (`"$BASH" -c`), never a `( … )`
  subshell: a subshell inherits bash's saved copies of the caller's stdio (the
  fds ≥10 a function-level `>/dev/null` redirect leaves behind) and holds them
  open, so a runner waiting for EOF waited out the whole 60 s ceiling whenever a
  watchdog outlived its kill — measured as the intermittent 30 s test run the
  review flagged; 0/60 after. It polls the job's process GROUP (`kill -0 --
  -pgid`, every 0.1 s) and stands down by itself once the group is empty;
  nothing ever signals it. The group, not the leader pid: a child can outlive
  the leader while holding the `$(cdt … new_page)` pipe, and a leader-pid poll
  stood down at once and left the substitution open-ended (driven by the
  round's adversarial review at 6× the ceiling; a pgid cannot be reused while
  any member lives, which a bare pid can). The daemon `start` launches is
  spawned detached (its own session) and never in that group. Two platforms
  forced the never-signalled shape. Under bash 3.2.57 the earlier `trap … TERM;
  sleep & wait $!` form ignored its TERM in 3 of 300 fast calls and slept out
  the whole ceiling — CI's macos job hanging 30 s right after `start`. On Git
  Bash a signal to a watchdog still starting up hung the fence's `wait` for it:
  18 of 20 fence tests at the harness's 30 s cap in 3 of 3 full-file runs,
  while a fence slowed by xtrace, or three tests run alone, never hit it (a
  startup race; the mechanism is not pinned further). Polling: 0/300 slow calls
  and 0 orphaned sleeps under 3.2.57 and 5.2, the fence suite 20/20 in 3 of 3
  full-file runs on Git Bash 5.2.37 (fractional `sleep 0.1`: driven on GNU,
  msys and busybox sleep; BSD sleep documents it). A clock that cannot launch
  (`sleep … || exit 0`) stands the watchdog down rather than firing at once
  and killing a healthy call — by design that leaves a hung call unbounded,
  the pre-round-4 behaviour, instead of failing a healthy one. A hung call
  returns once its group is gone: at the ceiling, plus up to the 2 s
  TERM-to-KILL grace. The KILL after the grace is sent only to a group that
  is still alive: a pgid freed during the grace can be reused, and an
  unconditional KILL could hit an unrelated group (the round's review).
  `start` (npx fetch + Chrome launch) gets CHROME_DEVTOOLS_START_TIMEOUT
  (180 s), every verb CHROME_DEVTOOLS_STEP_TIMEOUT (60 s). timeout(1) is absent
  on macOS and this agent carries no gsd-tools resolver, hence a bash watchdog
  rather than either.
- --allowUnrestrictedPaths -> --workspace "$INTERACTION_DIR": the driver may
  write under the run's interaction/ directory and nowhere else. Relative, like
  every --filePath (unchanged from rounds 1-3): the daemon resolves both against
  one cwd (chrome-devtools-mcp 1.9.0 spawns it with cwd: process.cwd() and
  path.resolve()s both), and a relative path needs no dialect translation — an
  absolute `pwd -P` path is an msys path on Git Bash, which a Windows-native
  daemon cannot resolve (CI's windows conformance shard caught the first cut).
  --workspace is a 1.9.0 flag (absent from 1.8.0's `start --help`, verified),
  so the documented floor moves from ^1.8.0 to ^1.9.0, where
  --allowUnrestrictedPaths is deprecated.
- `stop` is owed by an EXIT trap after a successful `start`, not by position
  (it replaces any earlier EXIT trap — none exists in this file); the explicit
  call keeps it in order, a flag makes the trap a no-op afterwards, and only the
  shell that installed the trap may act: a subshell copy of the fence state
  carries CDT_STARTED=1 and, under a timing race CI's ubuntu job hit (reproduced
  locally at 3/40 under load: the second `stop` came from a subshell pid, never
  main), issued a second `stop`. The identity is `$(exec /bin/sh -c 'echo
  "$PPID"')`, not $BASHPID — macOS ships bash 3.2, where BASHPID does not exist
  and CI's macos conformance job showed the guard comparing empty to empty. The
  fence was driven under bash 3.2.57 for the injected-subshell, errexit
  failed-new_page, errexit failed-resize, hung-start, hung-new_page and happy
  paths. A failed resize_page is a counted failed step now, not the one bare
  command an errexit runner could abort on.

Prose in the section is tightened to pay for the mechanism: 23559 -> 24517
bytes against the 24576 DEFAULT-tier cap.

Tests: the stub driver hangs as a real child tree (sh waiting on a child that
holds stdout — never an exec), so a pid-only kill fails the new
aHungNewPageWhoseChildHoldsStdoutIsStillCutOffAtTheCeiling test (negative-
controlled: it blocks for the harness's whole cap on the old wrapper). A hung
start and a hung capture are cut off within ceiling + grace + slack and still
reach stop; an injected bare failure under errexit reaches stop through the
trap, exactly once; an injected subshell call of cdt_stop issues nothing; the
happy path issues exactly one stop; every driver call site names a ceiling and
the only bare $CDT is the wrapper's own spawn; the start line carries
--workspace with the capture directory, every --filePath lies under it, and no
code line carries --allowUnrestrictedPaths. A driver whose leader exits at
once while a child keeps holding the capture pipe is still cut off at the
ceiling (negative-controlled: a leader-pid poll blocks for the harness's whole
cap). A watchdog whose clock cannot launch leaves a 300 ms driver call alone
(negative-controlled: the trap form kills `start` in under 20 ms). The harness
EXPORTS its stub-only PATH — unexported, the exec'd
watchdog fell through to bash's compiled-in default PATH and never saw the stub
dir — and ships `sleep` there as an exec-wrapper script (portable to Git Bash,
pid-preserving).

* fix(#4223): gitignore gate covers the capture directory, and upgrades an existing file

Round 4 Blocker. The gate enumerated image extensions, so snapshot.txt (the
accessibility tree, with entered form values) and console.txt (which can carry
tokens) were committable by `git add .`. The gate now ignores `interaction/` as
a directory — the next artifact type is covered by construction — and it appends
whatever an existing .gitignore lacks instead of writing once. The write-once
form was the same defect one step later: every project that had already run an
audit would never have received the new pattern at all.

Tests run the gate fence under bash: a fresh file carries every pattern; an
image-only file from an earlier audit gains interaction/ and keeps its own
header without duplicating present lines; a second run appends nothing.

* test(#4223): declare the interaction-capture anchor as a comment marker

The #4324 colon-token gate (slash-command-namespace) landed on next after this
branch was opened and reads `<!-- gsd:ui-interaction-capture -->` as an
unconvertible /gsd: command token. It is a section anchor of the same family as
gsd:live-dom-families and gsd:write-continue, so it is declared in
COMMENT_MARKER_TOKENS rather than renamed. Found by running the base-added
gates against the merged tree; CI at ca8d2508 predates the gate.

The private /d /s /c argv-array copy quoted the shim path (any space in the
path) and cmd.exe /s stripped the first-and-last quote of the whole /c string,
so the pre-space fragment became the program name: exit 1, empty stdout, on
every repo whose path contains a space. The declared seam wraps the whole

be1b76dddd fix(#4700): queue the headless mempalace mine on the palace lock (#4821)
* test(#4699): add failing-first coverage for skipping complete phases in next_phase

* fix(#4699): skip already-complete phases in the next_phase cascade

Both next-phase scans selected the numerically lowest phase above N
without consulting completion state, so completing a reopened phase
persisted an already-[x] phase as STATE.md current_phase while
roadmap.analyze correctly named the outstanding one (issue repro:
completing 2 with phases 1 and 3 already [x] returned next_phase 03).

The cascade collects the complete phase numbers from the roadmap
checkboxes (milestone-scoped, comparePhaseNum-deduped) and skips them in
both the disk scan and the roadmap scan; a [x] checkbox row and its
heading sibling both name a phase that is never next. Heading-only and
checkbox-less roadmaps behave exactly as before.

* test(#4699): align the negative-control expectation with the disk spelling

* test(#4699): pin the STATE.md persistence and the all-later-complete tail corner

Review findings: the regression never asserted STATE.md current_phase
(the issue's actual harm), and the all-later-phases-[x] corner
(is_last_phase true, next_phase null) was unpinned. A changeset fragment
is included.

* docs(#4699): backfill changeset PR number

* test(#4700): add failing-first coverage for the queued headless mine

* fix(#4700): queue the headless mempalace mine and surface skipped captures

The capture's mine ran in the foreground with no lock handling: MemPalace
wraps every mine in a per-palace lock, so any concurrent writer (two
phases finishing a stage at once, a git-hook refresh mining the same
palace) made it exit 1 (MineAlreadyRunning) and the onError: skip step
silently dropped the capture — unlost for CONTEXT/PLAN/SUMMARY files that
can be re-filed, unrecoverable for execute:wave:post problem-fix pairs.

The mine now queues via --daemon --background (MemPalace #2029: the daemon
holds a job refused the lock and runs it when the holder exits), and the
report step gains the queued and skipped outcomes per #4700's requirement
that a skipped capture never stay silent. Option 2 (write_routing.cli) is
unreleased at MemPalace 3.9.0; option 3 (retry) re-enters the same lock
race — both declined in the PR body.

* fix(#4700): queue the wave:post problems fragment's headless mine too

The issue names the execute:wave:post problem-fix pair as the
unrecoverable loss (no source file to re-file later); the
capture-problems fragment's headless mine ran foreground like the capture
capability's did. Same fix: --daemon --background, with the lock-deferral
rationale inline.

e2bfc06558 fix(#4709): a retired runtime id must not resolve to Claude Code (#4756)
* fix(#4709): a retired runtime id must not resolve to Claude Code

AC#1 of epic #4709 — the last unmet acceptance criterion. Every other phase
(#4711, #4716, #4732, #4743, #4753) is merged; the epic does not close until
this lands.

THE DEFECT, MEASURED

Five runtime-resolution accessors resolved a RETIRED id to a plausible-looking
value, indistinguishable from the same call with a canonical id. Measured on
5d4c98cde7 by executing the built modules:

  getRuntimeLabel('gemini')              -> 'Claude Code'
  getProjectInstructionFile('gemini')    -> 'AGENTS.md'
  getGlobalConfigHomeFragment('gemini')  -> "'.claude'"
  getGlobalConfigDir('gemini')           -> ~/.claude   (byte-identical to 'claude')
  getDirName('gemini')                   -> '.claude'

So asking for a runtime Google sunset on 2026-06-18 wrote into Claude Code's
global config home and labelled the install "Claude Code". Nothing errored and
nothing warned.

AC#1 names four accessors. getDirName is the fifth, found by a reviewer: same
module, same silent-wrong-answer class, and it feeds capability-state's
runtimeConfigDir. Fixing only the four the criterion happened to list would
have left the defect reachable, so it is guarded too.

WHY THE CHECK CANNOT LIVE IN CANONICALIZATION

canonicalizeRuntimeName returns null for 'gemini', 'gemini-cli', 'Gemini',
'GEMINI' AND for ''. After canonicalization a retired id, an unknown id and an
empty string are the same value, so anything keyed off the canonical form
cannot tell them apart — it would have to treat all three alike, which is the
behaviour being fixed. The check therefore runs on the RAW input.

WHAT THIS DELIBERATELY DOES NOT DO

The criterion reads "reject a non-canonical runtime id". Taken literally that
overturns three recorded decisions, so the narrower reading was put to the
maintainer as a blocking question and this implements the answer: RETIRED ids
throw, unknown and future ids keep falling back.

Preserved:

  - The #1529 contract, written into getProjectInstructionFile's own docblock
    as a mapping table ending "unknown / future runtimes -> AGENTS.md (safe
    cross-agent default)". That default exists so a runtime GSD has never heard
    of still gets a working instruction file.
  - ADR-1239 Phase B / #1679, which preserved GLOBAL_CONFIG_HOME_FRAGMENTS
    BYTE-FOR-BYTE when it collapsed a 14-branch chain, with golden install
    parity asserting generated hook output is unchanged across every runtime.
  - The explicit `if (!runtime) return <default>` branch. Empty string is a
    supported input, not a non-canonical id.

The distinction the code encodes: ABSENCE OF KNOWLEDGE IS NOT THE SAME AS
RECORDED RETIREMENT. Unknown means "no information, degrade safely". Retired
means "we know it is gone and we know what replaced it" — and silently
substituting a different product for it is the defect.

ONE INACCURACY IN THE CRITERION, RECORDED RATHER THAN REPEATED

AC#1 says the accessors return "a Claude Code value". True for getRuntimeLabel,
getGlobalConfigHomeFragment, getGlobalConfigDir and getDirName — but
getProjectInstructionFile returns 'AGENTS.md', which is not a Claude value at
all. The defect it points at is real for all of them, so the fix covers all of
them, but the wording is wrong for one.

MATCHING

RETIRED_RUNTIME_DETAILS is a Map keyed by canonical retired id, and
RETIRED_RUNTIME_SPELLINGS maps every spelling to that id. Both are Maps, not
object literals: a literal indexed by a computed key resolves INHERITED
properties, so '__proto__' and 'constructor' were truthy and threw with every
field `undefined`, while isRetiredRuntimeId — which already went through a Set
— correctly answered false for the same input. Two guards disagreeing about one
id is worse than either answer. A Map has no prototype keys, so that hazard is
structural rather than patched. The predicate and the assertion now share one
normaliser and one table and cannot diverge.

Candidates are normalised NFKC + lowercase + strip non-alphanumerics. Folding
the separators makes 'gemini-cli', 'gemini_cli', 'gemini.cli' and 'geminicli'
one key instead of four near-misses found one at a time, and NFKC folds the
full-width 'gemini' a CJK keyboard produces. It stays MEMBERSHIP matching,
never prefix or substring: 'gemini-2.5-pro' folds to 'gemini25pro' and
'gemini-3.1-pro-preview' to 'gemini31propreview', neither a member, so Google's
live model ids — part of Antigravity's real on-disk contract — are untouched.

Homoglyph folding is deliberately not attempted, and a Cyrillic 'і' would slip
through. These values arrive from argv and env, trusted inputs here, and a
mapping broad enough to catch deliberate homoglyphs would start catching
legitimate ids. Stated rather than left for the next reader to discover.

This over-broad-match trap is the recurring shape of the whole epic: an
exclusion or match written wider than its subject. Four occurrences, each
cited: #4716's `gemini-[0-9]` sweep exclusion hid a stale review.models.gemini
row whose value was "gemini-2.5-pro" on the same line; #4753's first
model-display escape was a blanket /^ \d/ that laundered "Gemini 2.5 CLI as a
supported runtime."; its dialect rule then used a +/-24-character window that
let one legitimate reference license a live claim 21 characters away; and its
model rule treated the ABSENCE of a runtime word as a grant, passing five
unqualified live-runtime claims. Earlier drafts of this message and its
artifacts said "five" in one place and "three" in another with nothing cited;
it is four, listed here, and the artifacts now agree.

THE THROW

RetiredRuntimeError carries `code: 'GSD_RETIRED_RUNTIME'` so a caller can
handle this case without string-matching a message that may be reworded, and
the message names the id, the successor and the retiring issue.
assertNotRetiredRuntime runs as the FIRST statement of each accessor, including
before getGlobalConfigDir's explicitDir branch, so an explicit directory cannot
mask a runtime that is gone.

`gsd-tools query project-instruction-file --runtime gemini` answered the new
throw with a raw stack trace — a user-facing regression this change introduced.
Its sibling routeSkillsRoot already emitted a clean single-line error for an
unknown runtime, so that route now maps GSD_RETIRED_RUNTIME through the same
`error()` helper, and a test asserts the contract directly: non-zero exit,
stderr naming Antigravity and #1928, and no stack frame. It was the only
unwrapped call site in that CLI; I checked the rest rather than assuming.

getRuntimeNewProjectCommand is deliberately NOT guarded: its value does not
vary by runtime in a way that makes a retired id a wrong answer, so throwing
would cost callers a crash without correcting anything. Verified by observing
it return the same value across claude, codex, opencode, kimi, antigravity,
copilot and an unknown id.

RECONCILING THE TESTS THAT PINNED THE DEFECT

The full remote matrix went red with 14 failures, and every one was a
pre-existing test asserting the fallback this criterion calls a defect. One had
already been caught locally by review; the matrix found the other thirteen
across four files. They were reconciled by intent, not blanket-inverted:

  - Tests whose SUBJECT is the retired runtime — "gemini falls back on label /
    config-fragment / new-project surfaces", "gemini no longer maps to
    GEMINI.md (defaults to AGENTS.md)", "gemini is no longer a known runtime —
    falls back to AGENTS.md" — had pinned the defect, titles and all. Their
    assertions are INVERTED rather than deleted, so the history of what the
    behaviour used to be stays attached to the test that pinned it.
  - Tests whose SUBJECT is "an unregistered id falls back generically", with
    gemini merely the SAMPLE, still assert a TRUE property that this change
    deliberately preserved. Those keep their assertion and switch the sample to
    a genuinely unknown id, with a retired-id refusal pinned alongside so both
    halves of the distinction sit together.
  - The project-instruction-file parity loop dropped gemini from its
    parametrised runtimes — both sides now refuse, so there is no value to
    agree on — and gained a dedicated refusal-parity test.

A FIFTEENTH was then found by executing the touched suites locally, in process,
one file at a time — `tests/runtime-name-policy.test.cjs:135` asserted
`getProjectInstructionFile('gemini-cli') === 'AGENTS.md'`, and its own comment
read "gemini-cli was an alias for gemini", which is exactly why that spelling
is now a retired one rather than a merely-unrecognised one. Inverted like the
rest.

Two remote runs on this change were avoidable: the first by reconciling the
tests that pinned the old behaviour before shipping, the second by executing
the touched suites locally first. The matrix is the authority; it is not the
discovery mechanism. Local per-file execution is bounded and cheap and is not
the banned `node --test` fan-out.

All five touched suites now pass in process: runtime-name-policy 47/47,
gemini-runtime-removed 32/32, project-instruction-file-parity 12/12,
runtime-homes-legacy-ids-drift-guard 2/2, install 452/452.

COVERAGE

Failing-first, one per accessor as the criterion demands, each proven RED
against 5d4c98cde7 before the fix existed — the table at the top of this
message IS that baseline, and the exports the tests import did not exist yet
either.

Asserting only the throw would pass if every id threw, which would break every
install, so each property is paired with its opposite: every canonical id still
resolves on all five accessors with byte-identical values; '' keeps its
documented branch; a genuinely unknown id keeps 'Claude Code' / 'AGENTS.md' /
'.claude' / ~/.claude. That last one is the load-bearing negative — it is the
decision the maintainer chose to preserve, so a later patch that "tightens" the
guard to reject all non-canonical ids turns it red with the reason attached.

Boundary coverage maps limit-1/limit/limit+1 onto set membership: 'gemin',
'geminix', 'gemini-2.5-pro' and 'gemini-3.1-pro-preview' must NOT throw, the
retired id and its folded spellings must. '__proto__', 'constructor' and
'  CONSTRUCTOR  ' are pinned as must-not-throw, and predicate/assertion
agreement is asserted directly. Several assert.throws calls initially passed a
string as the second argument, which node treats as the MESSAGE rather than a
matcher, so they asserted nothing about the error; they now use a real
predicate checking the code.

The tests live in the owning modules' suites rather than a new issue-named
file: lint-regression-test-names rejects new bug-NNNN/fix-NNNN/issue-NNNN test
files outright and directs the regression to the owning module's suite.
scripts/lib/macos-conformance-tier.generated.cjs regenerated through its own
--write path, since the tracked test-file count moved.

06845717fe feat(#4740): make the Loop Host Contract role partition normative and enforced (#4742)
* test(#4740): pin the per-step role-family partition

Failing-first coverage for the Loop Host Contract role partition. At this
commit crossCheckRoleFamilies does not exist, so the rows throw
"crossCheckRoleFamilies is not a function" -- the RED proof they bind to
behavior rather than restating it.

ADR-894 section 3 assigns roles per step but parenthesises the assignment as
"(illustrative roles)", and nothing enforced it. The only thing standing in the
way was a single deepEqual in this same file, which is editable prose.

Rows cover: each step's own family accepted; a strict subset accepted; a
foreign role rejected at every step; an unknown role rejected; an unknown step
failing CLOSED; capitalization not silently matched; every offending role
reported rather than only the first; and purity, because buildContract puts the
same array into the generated contract.

Two rows exist because an earlier cut of this suite was vacuous. The purity
fixture is deliberately UNSORTED -- an alphabetically-sorted fixture cannot
fail an in-place sort(), and the mutant was being killed by three unrelated
rows instead. A parity row asserts ROLE_FAMILY and ROLE_TO_AGENT cover the
exact same role-name domain, both directions: they are parallel constants over
one domain, so divergence is the generative-fix class CLAUDE.md names.

Every negative row asserts the offending ROLE NAME and the STEP NAME appear in
the message. A count-only assertion survives a mutant that reports the wrong
role, which the 80% Stryker gate would surface only after a full CI round-trip.

* feat(#4740): reject a cross-family agent-role declaration

Orchestration and execution are distinct functions of the loop and must not
drift into one another. That partition was real but unenforced: ADR-894
section 3 calls its own role assignment "illustrative", and the generator
accepted anything. Adding orchestrator to execute-phase.md's agent-roles line
compiled, --check passed once regenerated, and capability-validator.cjs then
began accepting into:"orchestrator" at every execute point.

ROLE_FAMILY maps every role to one of orchestration, planning or execution.
EXPECTED_FAMILY_BY_STEP gives each of the five steps exactly one family.
crossCheckRoleFamilies rejects a cross-family role, a role outside the
vocabulary, and an unknown step. It reports every offender, not the first.

It fails CLOSED on an unknown step, deliberately diverging from
assertPointsCoverage's "unknown step -- caught elsewhere". For points that is
true: the canonical-set and duplicate checks catch it. For roles there is no
second net, so failing open would leave an unknown step as the one input that
bypasses the gate.

crossCheckRoles' orchestrator exemption is untouched. ROLE_TO_AGENT maps roles
to agent FILES and the orchestrator is the host, owning none -- admissibility
and agent-file presence are separate concerns with separate checks.

Additive to section 3's existing rule that contribution.into must be a member
of the step's agentRoles, which is unchanged. That governs what a CAPABILITY
may target; this governs what a WORKFLOW may declare. No capability is
affected, and all five workflows already declare single-family sets, so the
gate is green on the commit that introduces it.

* docs(#4740): make the ADR-894 role assignment normative

Section 3 parenthesises its per-step role assignment as "(illustrative roles)".
That word was accurate about the list's PURPOSE -- it illustrated the shape of
a generated contract entry -- and wrong about its STATUS, because the
assignment was load-bearing from the moment the generator consumed it. Read
literally it makes the partition an example rather than a rule.

Appended as a dated in-place section per docs/contributor-standards.md, which
records that an accepted ADR is never rewritten and names this the default
pattern. Section 3's original body is untouched.

The amendment states the three disjoint families, the one family each step
admits, that a step may declare a strict subset but never outside it, and why
this is a clarification rather than a new decision: the contract is generated
from the workflow markers "so it cannot drift into a lie", and all five
workflows have always declared single-family sets. What was absent was any
statement that it is required, and any check that it holds.

It also pins the distinction that is easy to re-merge: contribution.into being
a member of agentRoles governs what a CAPABILITY may target and is unchanged;
the family rule governs what a WORKFLOW may declare. The CONTEXT.md glossary
entry for the Loop Host Contract records the same, beside the agent-reference
drift guard it already documented.

* fix(#4740): stop injecting the orchestrator procedure into executors

claude-orchestration declared a contribution at execute:wave:pre with
into:"executor". loop-hook-dispatch.md defines a contribution as "inject
fragment.inline verbatim into the context for the role named in into", so its
267 lines were injected into EXECUTOR prompts whenever the capability was
enabled. Those lines are orchestration end to end -- construct a wave manifest,
resolve the dispatch backend, invoke the Workflow tool to spawn executors,
bridge per-agent results into the merge chain. An executor can act on none of
it.

Retargeting to into:"orchestrator" would not have been a fix. ROLE_TO_AGENT
carries no orchestrator entry by design: the orchestrator IS the host, and the
host's procedure lives in execute-phase.md. A step's agentRoles enumerates
agents a capability may inject context INTO, so adding orchestrator there would
model the host as an injectable agent -- the same category error pointed the
other way, and it would need an exception carved into the partition the same
issue just made normative.

So the defect is the mechanism, not the label. A contribution injects into an
agent's context; "replace step 3's inline dispatch loop" is a change to what
the HOST does. The contribution channel was serving as a host-behaviour
directive because it was the only channel available at an execute point.

The entry is removed. plan:post into:"planner" is correct and untouched. The
procedure is preserved verbatim at docs/workflow-backend-dispatch.md inside the
capability -- it is the only copy in the repo -- and is no longer injected
anywhere.

Consequence, not softened: the Workflow backend now has no loop wiring.
Detection, emission and config remain and the design is intact, but nothing
dispatches it. Under the separation ADR-1143 itself asserts it never had a
legitimate channel; ADR-1143's own audit already records the end-to-end path
has never been exercised. Wiring it properly needs a host-level mechanism that
does not exist today.

* fix(#4740): invert the stale execute:wave:pre registry assertions

Removing the contribution left four surfaces asserting or describing the old
state. Caught by an isolated review before a verification run was spent, which
is the point of reviewing first: the first of these was a guaranteed CI red.

execute-wave-post-gate-pipeline-e2e asserted against the REAL generated
registry that byLoopPoint['execute:wave:pre'] held exactly one contribution
with capId claude-orchestration. It now holds zero. Inverted to assert exactly
0 -- not a vague >= 0 -- and the #2285 comment above it now explains the
current state rather than the one it was written for.

CONTEXT.md's Claude Orchestration entry claimed two contributions at wired
points. It is now one, and the entry's execute:wave:post label was already
wrong before this change: the manifest said execute:wave:pre. Rewritten to one
plan:post contribution, why the execute-point one was removed, and where the
procedure now lives.

One assertion in claude-orchestration.test.cjs could not fail. It tested for
the prose "(into the executor)" while the doc says "(`into: executor`)", so no
plausible wording matched it and the paired plan:post assertion was carrying
the row. Replaced with a check on the structural claim, and proved RED by
restoring the two-contribution wording before reverting.

The moved procedure keeps section headings that speak as a live contribution --
"When this contribution is active", "Why execute:wave:pre". Preserving the body
verbatim was deliberate, so the headings stay and an editor's note under the
header explains why they read that way.

A sweep of all 17 files referencing byLoopPoint found no further siblings: the
remaining hits are a synthetic capability fixture and an empty-points test that
already expected no active hooks, both correct before and after.

b54c1c5848 fix(#4709): retire the Gemini CLI reviewer lane (#4716)
* fix(#4709): retire the Gemini CLI reviewer lane

Google stopped serving Gemini CLI for the free/Pro/Ultra tiers on 2026-06-18 —
the same sunset that removed the gemini RUNTIME in #1928 (shipped 1.8.0). GSD
targets solo developers, so those tiers ARE the user path: the lane spawned
`gemini {{model}} -p -`, a binary that no longer answers for the majority of
users, and five locales documented it as a supported choice.

The lane was re-created after #1928 by the reviewer-lane-as-manifest-data work
(6a9babda69, #2798/#2837, ADR-2782). Per the maintainer that re-creation was an
error in that buildout rather than a considered decision, so this corrects a
mistake and needs no ADR-2782 amendment.

Reviewer roster: 12 lanes / 13 flags -> 11 lanes / 12 flags.

TWO sources of truth had to be removed, not one. Deleting
capabilities/gemini/capability.json left the capability registry at 11 lanes
while src/review-lane-descriptor.cts's hand-maintained REVIEWER_LANES array
still carried its own complete gemini entry at 12 — precisely the disagreement
checkReviewerLaneParity exists to catch. Both are gone; both parity checkers
now run clean against the real tree (lane parity ok/0 violations, docs parity
0 violations).

Surfaces stripped of the dead flag:
- capabilities/gemini/ deleted; registry and capability-matrix regenerated
- src/review-lane-descriptor.cts: REVIEWER_LANES entry, docblock count, and the
  three doc comments that used --gemini as a live example
- commands/gsd/{review,plan-review-convergence,autonomous,progress}.md and the
  four matching skills/*/SKILL.md: argument-hint frontmatter and flag bullets
- gsd-core/workflows/help/modes/{full,full.compact}.md: /gsd-help signatures,
  the detected-CLI list, and the reviewer-title list
- gsd-core/workflows/settings-integrations.md: the integrations wizard no longer
  offers "Gemini" as a model option, and the settable-keys list drops it
- gsd-core/workflows/review.md: the `command -v gemini` probe, the --gemini
  flag, the roster frontmatter, the install pointer to the sunset repo, and the
  jq-less / precedence / self-skip lane lists
- gsd-core/workflows/sync-skills.md: "two runtimes (grok, gemini) resolve to
  ANOTHER runtime's skills root" is now one runtime; gemini never aliased
  anything, it fell through canonicalizeRuntimeName to a fail-closed default
- docs/{CONFIGURATION,COMMANDS,CLI-TOOLS}.md, docs/reference/capability-matrix.md,
  docs/how-to/set-up-cross-ai-review.md — including its `npm install -g
  @google/gemini-cli` instruction and the two rows recommending --gemini
- docs/features/{cross-ai-peer-review,opt-in-parallel-reviewer-lanes}.md as the
  generator inputs behind docs/FEATURES.md, plus the three locale FEATURES.md
  signature lines the docs-parity gate covers (the #2781 class: a flag change
  that never reaches the mirrors)

Counts reconciled against measurement rather than arithmetic: 8 timeout keys of
11 lanes, 11 budget keys, 9 model keys, and four hardcoded literals in
tests/reviewer-lane-declarations.test.cjs (NEW_LANE_ONLY_IDS 5->4, LITERAL_ROSTER
12->11, two roster counts 12->11).

BEHAVIOR CHANGE, accepted deliberately: `gsd config-set review.models.gemini`
now errors with "Unknown config key". An existing key already in
.planning/config.json still parses and is simply never read, so no project fails
to load. This is the repo's own documented policy for exactly this case
(docs/CONFIGURATION.md:327 — "a key left over from a removed reviewer validated
silently and was never read. Such a key is now rejected by config-set"), so no
installer migration ships. Note my first measurement of this was WRONG: I tested
config-get, which reads undeclared keys fine, and generalised. Read and write are
different surfaces and gave different answers.

Antigravity is untouched throughout — its --antigravity/--agy flags,
review.models.agy, ~/.gemini/antigravity configHome, ~/.gemini/config global
skills root (#3738), hookEvents "gemini", GEMINI.md instruction file, and every
gemini-* model id it actually runs on.

* fix(#4709): close the 24 test failures and the locale-doc gap the gates found

An adversarial review and a full matrix run between them found substantially
more fallout than inspection had. All of it is this PR's own, and all of it is
fixed rather than waved off.

THE MATRIX RUN FOUND 24 FAILURES ACROSS 6 FILES. Inspection had predicted two.
The dominant class was a test helper that looks up a lane by slug and throws
`no declared lane 'gemini'`:

- tests/feat-2483-review-claude-mds-guard.test.cjs (6) — used gemini as the
  "other declared first-party lane" to contrast against claude's env
  suppression. Now qwen, verified from source as a lane that declares no `env`
  (only claude does), so the contrast still holds.
- tests/review-lane-descriptor.test.cjs (6) — the duplicate-flag and
  duplicate-section fixtures deliberately COLLIDED with a real declared lane to
  prove the parity checker reports a duplicate. `--gemini`/`Gemini` no longer
  collide with anything, so the checker reported
  `descriptor_lane_not_in_registry:acme` instead and the tests proved nothing.
  Now collide with `--codex`/`Codex`, reproduced against the real checker.
- tests/review-reviewer-selection.test.cjs (3) — these distinguish KNOWN-but-
  undetected from UNKNOWN. gemini flipped categories, inverting what they
  proved. The known case now uses qwen; `__nope__` stays the unknown fixture.
- tests/review-default-reviewers-resolution.test.cjs (2), and
  tests/settings-integrations.test.cjs (3) — the wizard now offers three
  reviewer CLIs, not four, so the test and its name say three.
- Two count assertions the earlier sweep missed outright:
  reviewer-lane-declarations.test.cjs:359 (`length, 12`) and
  reviewer-docs-parity.test.cjs:681 (`>= 12`).

THE LOCALE-DOC GAP, and why the parity gate stayed green over it. All four
locale mirrors still documented `--gemini` as a live reviewer flag. The
docs-parity checker asserts the PRESENCE of every current flag and never the
ABSENCE of a retired one, so "0 violations" was never evidence those files were
clean — my earlier reading of it as such was wrong. This is the #2781
locale-drift class in the opposite direction. Fixed across 12 locale files:
COMMANDS.md flag lists and table rows, CONFIGURATION.md `review.models.gemini`
rows and reviewer prose, CLI-TOOLS.md config examples, and
set-up-cross-ai-review.md including its install block and its
which-reviewer-to-choose row, which now recommends Antigravity.

ALSO FOUND, and instructive about my own method: docs/CONFIGURATION.md:297 still
carried a `review.models.gemini` row. My sweep had missed it because my grep
excluded lines matching `gemini-[0-9]` to spare Google's model ids — and that
row's example value is `"gemini-2.5-pro"` on the same line. The exclusion built
to avoid false positives created a false negative.

Remaining comment/example sites: src/review-reviewer-selection.cts:309 and
src/config.cts:598 named the dead flag and key as examples;
gsd-core/references/planning-config.md:269 likewise; and
review-reviewer-selection.cts:22 claimed in the PRESENT tense that gemini is a
lane-only reviewer capability. Line 38 of that same docblock says "Before this
phase the five non-runtime reviewers (gemini, ...)" and is left exactly as is —
that is past-tense history, and rewriting it would falsify the record.

Deliberately still deferred to Phase 4, because it is the RUNTIME axis rather
than the reviewer lane: the locale install-on-your-runtime.md `--gemini --global`
instructions, the USER-GUIDE colon-form notes, and the ARCHITECTURE
runtime-detection flag lists.

Both parity checkers green against the real tree; lint:ci exit 0.

* chore(#4654): add local/no-unconfined-path-join and drain it to zero

Phase 4 of epic #4636 — the ratchet, and the phase that makes the epic hold.

THE MEASUREMENT THAT RESHAPED THE PHASE. An AST census (the repo's own parser,
not grep) found what the epic never enumerated: ADR-4650 named seven containment
implementations; `src/` alone held roughly 24 more hand-rolled gates across ~13
files, several guarding a write or an `fs.rmSync`. Two verified by reading rather
than pattern-matching — `research-store.cts` comments its own as "ensure the
resolved file path stays inside the store dir" immediately before a write, and
`capability-lifecycle.cts` gates `fs.rmSync` with one.

So the epic's Done-when "one containment predicate, used at every site" was FALSE
when Phase 3 reported it satisfied. It is true now: the rule is clean across
src/, scripts/, gsd-core/bin/ and hooks/ with an EMPTY allowlist.

WHY NOT THE RULE THE ISSUE PROPOSED. #4654 proposed flagging `path.join` whose
first argument is a managed root and whose later arguments derive from argv. That
is a taint analysis over 2046 call sites, in ESLint, without type information;
"derives from argv" is not locally decidable. Any approximation either floods or
is trivially evaded, and a rule that fires on hundreds of correct sites earns an
allowlist of hundreds — the opposite of a ratchet. What is actually duplicated is
the COMPARISON, not the join, and that has one recognizable shape.

  Arm 1  X.startsWith(Y + sep)            the hand-rolled containment idiom
  Arm 2  a containment predicate called as a bare statement, answer discarded

Arm 2 is the issue's "asserts the result was narrowed, not merely that a helper
was called". Its example `validatePath(x, root).resolved` is already
structurally impossible — Phase 3 un-exported `validatePath` — so the remaining
expressible failure is ignoring the answer, which is the defect that recurred
five times in this epic. The census found exactly one live instance
(`milestone.cts:1643`); it now returns the proven `ContainedPath` so consumers
stop re-deriving the path the comment above it was extracted to stop them
re-deriving.

The rule deliberately does NOT try to catch validate-one-path-use-another where
the answer is used but a different variable flows onward. That needs flow
analysis; the branded `ContainedPath` from Phase 3 is the defense there, and the
two are complementary.

PER-SITE FAMILY CHOICE, NOT A DEFAULT. Phase 3's lesson binds: collapsing a
lexical site onto the realpath family broke four tests and was caught only by the
matrix. Every migrated site was triaged individually. The six
installer-migrations tree-walks and the six capability-lifecycle gates take the
LEXICAL family because their operands are already realpath-resolved and they
deliberately treat the final component as a link; boundary sites take realpath.

TWO SITES WITH AN INVERTED CONTRACT, which a mechanical swap would have broken.
`installer-migrations.cts:127` and `runtime-artifact-install-plan.cts:144` REJECT
`target === root` by contract, while the canonical comparison ACCEPTS it. Swapped
naively, a migration could `rmdir` the user's config root and a third-party
descriptor could write at configHome itself. Both keep `=== root` as an explicit
additional arm alongside the predicate call — the predicate decides containment,
the call site keeps its own extra condition (ADR-4650 decision 6).

ONE DUPLICATE DELETED OUTRIGHT: `planning-inspect.cts`'s `isWithinRoot` was
byte-identical to `isContainedIn` and said so in its own docstring.
`isContainedIn` is now exported for callers that have already resolved both
operands and need only the comparison, with a doc note that a caller which has
NOT resolved them must use a full predicate instead.

THE MARKER, AND WHY IT IS NOT THE ALLOWLIST. Nine sites are justified holdouts and
carry `// allow-handrolled-containment: <reason>` with a mandatory, reviewable
reason. Two justifications: (a) not a containment decision — an ancestor-walk loop
condition, sub-repo grouping, worktree identity matching, declared-path coverage;
(b) it IS containment but the canonical predicate is unreachable —
`capability-validator.cjs` is a committed pre-build `.cjs` and the compiled
`security.cjs` is untracked build output, so requiring it would break a fresh
clone. `scripts/lib/drift-scan.cjs` runs under `lint:ci` with the same exposure.
The marker was renamed from `allow-lexical-prefix-match` mid-phase because that
name asserted only (a) and would have stated something false at the (b) sites.

A marker suppresses BEFORE the violation counter increments, so a file whose
every occurrence is marked still reports `staleAllowlistEntry` — otherwise a
drained entry lingers and silently re-permits the site later.

DEMONSTRATED RED, per #4654: a hand-rolled copy reintroduced into a real `src/`
file made `npm run lint` fail with the rule's full guidance message; removing it
returned the tree to clean. Both halves recorded — red alone proves nothing,
since a rule red for an unrelated reason looks identical.

DISCLOSED: `defaultRequireFromInstallRoot` (gsd-tools.cjs) previously carried two
distinct rejection messages and two manual realpath calls; routing it through
`tryWithinRoot` collapses them to one message, and a missing module now surfaces
as MODULE_NOT_FOUND rather than ENOENT. No test asserts either message. The
security property is preserved and slightly strengthened — the candidate is
realpathed and containment re-checked, and the dangling-symlink oracle closure
comes along with it.

* docs(#4654): record the containment ratchet in CONTEXT.md and the security model

Both entries previously described the seam without the thing that keeps it a
seam. They now state what the rule bans, and — more usefully for whoever reads
this next — what it deliberately does NOT attempt: deciding per path.join call
whether an argument came from user input. That question is not locally
decidable, and an approximation across ~2000 join sites would earn an exemption
list of hundreds, which is the opposite of a ratchet.

Also records the marker's two legitimate justifications and that its reason is
mandatory, so the escape stays reviewable rather than becoming a mute button.

Glossary gate 270 refs exit 0; install-tree goldens and CONTEXT-INDEX.json
regenerated and confirmed byte-identical rather than assumed — which also
confirms eslint-rules/ is not a shipped path.

* fix(#4654): close review findings and the two matrix failures

MATRIX FAILURE 1 — a collapsed message broke a negative-proof test, and my
evidence for collapsing it was wrong. I searched tests/ for the literal string
"resolves outside its install root", found nothing, and reported that no test
asserted it. The test matches a REGEX SUBSTRING, /outside its install root/, so
the literal search missed it. What broke was "NEGATIVE PROOF: a symlinked module
pointing OUTSIDE the install root is not loaded" — the test guarding the exact
property I claimed was preserved. defaultRequireFromInstallRoot now does both
checks again with both messages byte-identical, each routed through the
canonical predicate, which is better than the original since that hand-rolled
both comparisons.

MATRIX FAILURE 2 — shipped migrations are checksum-locked, and a marker cannot
serve there. migrationChecksum hashes plan.toString(), which INCLUDES comments,
so a suppression marker inside a plan body drifts the baseline exactly as an
edit does. Measured: with markers in place, two of the four still differed from
their committed checksums. The four shipped bodies are now byte-identical to
next, and the rule's config excludes those four paths BY NAME rather than by a
directory wildcard, so a NEW migration is still covered. Six containment
comparisons stay un-ratcheted there; that gap is recorded in the rule's Known
gaps, in CONTEXT.md and in the security model rather than left implicit.
Justification (c) is removed from the marker's documented reasons, because a
marker was proven unable to express it.

ADVERSARIAL REVIEW — the sharpest finding was that the rule banned the CORRECT
shape while permitting the incorrect one: startsWith(root) with no separator is
the genuinely unsafe form, since it accepts a sibling such as root-evil, and my
own test blessed it as valid. Flagging every bare startsWith would swamp the
rule, so that stays a STATED gap rather than a silent one. Closed for real: the
template-literal spelling, which the census never saw because it only inspected
plus-concatenation — that surfaced TWELVE more sites, now triaged and migrated.
A separator reached through a const alias is now resolved via scope analysis.
And isContainedIn, exported in Phase 3, was missing from the discarded-result
set, so a bare no-op call went unflagged on the one function the epic funnels
through.

SECURITY REVIEW — the marker could over-suppress two ways: a block comment
worked identically to a line comment, and one marker silently covered every
violation sharing its line. It now requires a Line comment positioned after the
flagged node ends, so it anchors to the node it trails. Four sites had dropped
an unreachable-but-deliberate equality rejection against the root; each is
restored as the call site's own arm. eslint.config.mjs still documented the OLD
marker token, which my rename missed — it would have sent the next author in
circles.

A FALSE GREEN, recorded because it nearly stuck: lint:ci reported exit 0 from a
stale eslint cache while twelve real violations existed. Every lint check here
now clears the cache first.

* fix(#4654): anchor a suppression marker to the violation it actually trails

The matrix caught this; my own test caught it, on its first execution. The case
"two violations on one line: trailing marker suppresses only the one it trails"
expected 1 error and got 0 — both were suppressed.

ROOT CAUSE: the anchoring accepted any Line comment on the node's line whose
range started at or after the node's end. A trailing marker at the END of a line
sits after EVERY node on that line, so that condition held for all of them.
"After the node" does not identify WHICH node the marker trails. The fix reads
as correct and is not.

FIX: deferred reporting. Violations accumulate during traversal instead of being
reported immediately; at Program:exit each marker claims exactly ONE pending
violation — the one on its line whose end is nearest before the marker begins —
and every unclaimed violation is then counted and reported. One marker, one
suppression. An earlier violation sharing the line is still reported, which is
the property the security review asked for and the previous attempt only
appeared to deliver.

The counter now increments at flush time rather than during traversal, so a
suppressed occurrence still does not keep an allowlist entry alive.

AND A TOOL THAT SHOULD HAVE EXISTED BEFORE THE FIRST MATRIX RUN. `node --test`
is hard-blocked here, so this rule's test file could only ever be executed on
the remote matrix — which is why a broken anchoring shipped into a run. ESLint's
programmatic Linter API is not a test runner, and exercising the rule through it
verifies every case locally in seconds. All 24 now pass locally, including the
two-on-one-line case that failed remotely. That loop should have been built
before the rule was first sent to the matrix rather than after it failed twice.

* chore(#4654): backfill PR 4674 into the changeset and complete 70-docs.json

The phase gate requires enablementSequence and the Diataxis quadrants; 70-docs
now carries both, with the how-to quadrant skipped for a stated reason rather
than an empty field. The audience for this deliverable is a contributor who
trips the rule, and the task-oriented guidance reaches them in the ESLint
message itself — which names the correct predicate, says how to choose between
the realpath and lexical families, cites the Phase 3 regression caused by
choosing wrong, and gives the marker syntax. A docs/how-to page would be a
second, driftable copy read by nobody at the moment of failure.

enablementSequence is recorded as what it actually is: a VERIFICATION sequence,
not an enablement one. The rule is never off, so there is no off-to-on
transition to describe.

scripts/lint-docs-required.cjs now passes (ok_docs_updated) — it could not
evaluate against the mandated pr:0 placeholder.

6edd506cc7 fix(#4558): report a byte-identical restore destination as already_present (#4599)
* fix(#4558): report a byte-identical restore destination as already_present

restore-custom-files treated a destination that is byte-identical to its
backup exactly like a missing one: plan reported it as `eligible`, --apply
re-copied the same bytes and reported `restored`, and both counters
included it. Because update.md drives its restore question off
eligible_count, the workflow re-offered the same no-op restore on every
update and accepting it never settled anything.

Emit a distinct `already_present` outcome for that case. It is excluded
from eligible_count and restored_count, --apply writes nothing for it,
and the backup is left intact. A differing destination is still
skipped_destination_exists and a missing one still restores normally.

Regression tests cover the identical-destination plan/apply paths, the
idempotence-after-success cycle (missing -> restored -> silent plan), and
a mixed backup. Docs for the outcome enum are updated to match.

* fix(#4558): tighten already_present wording after review

update.md's RESTORE_ELIGIBLE == 0 branch now also names the already-present
case, CLI-TOOLS.md no longer calls the follow-up plan run "silent" (the
entry is still reported, just never offered), and a test message reads
correctly.

bbc3f131be refactor(#4653): make containment ONE decision, resolved two ways
Satisfies #4653 DW1 and DW9, which were the phase's outstanding acceptance
criteria: every other implementation must be deleted or route its containment
DECISION through the canonical predicate, and no surviving wrapper may decide
WHETHER a path is contained.

Three implementations were being retained with their own comparisons, on the
argument that each needs LEXICAL resolution — a realpath-based predicate is the
wrong tool wherever a symlink must be preserved rather than resolved. That
argument is correct about RESOLUTION and was being used to justify owning the
DECISION too. Those are separable, and separating them is what closes the
criteria honestly rather than by reinterpretation.

  isContainedIn(resolvedTarget, resolvedRoot, pathImpl?)   module-internal

is now the single place this repo decides containment. It is separator-aware, so
a sibling merely sharing a prefix (`<root>-evil` against `<root>`) is still
rejected. Two exported families sit on it and differ ONLY in how a candidate is
resolved before the decision:

  assertWithinRoot / tryWithinRoot                realpath-resolving
  assertWithinRootLexical / tryWithinRootLexical  path.resolve only, no I/O

The lexical pair carries `opts.pathImpl`, so win32 separator semantics stay
testable off Windows — that seam already existed in isPathConfined and would
have been lost by a naive collapse.

The three call sites now take their decision from the predicate and keep only
what is genuinely theirs:

  external-descriptor-trust isPathConfined   delegates outright; pathImpl forwarded
  installer-migrations ensureInsideConfig    delegates; keeps its own message and
                                             its LEXICAL fullPath, which callers
                                             consume for existsSync and journal rows
  gsd-tools.cjs isInsideDir                  delegates; keeps its own `target !==
                                             root` condition, and the separate
                                             symlink refusal above it stands

DW5 is not weakened by this. That criterion binds the symlink oracle and the
ancestor canonicalization; both are untouched. The only change inside
validatePath is three comparison lines becoming one call, and the rejection
string `Path escapes allowed directory: <resolved> is outside <base>` stays
byte-identical because it is an observable CLI contract.

What this does NOT do, stated plainly: the lexical family still cannot see a
symlink. That is a property of lexical resolution, not a gap in the seam, and
the three callers that need it are the three that must pair it with their own
symlink refusal — which is exactly what the fix earlier in this phase added at
the install sites. The doc comment says so at the definition, and CONTEXT.md and
docs/explanation/security-model.md are corrected: they previously described
these three as deliberately NOT routed through the predicate, which is no longer
true.

cd58aaabf4 refactor(#4653): drain the containment duplicates and record the two rulings
Phase 3 of epic #4636, stage 3c. ADR-4650 decision 6: a wrapper may decide HOW
to degrade, never WHETHER a path is contained. Four implementations are drained
on that rule; two are retained, with the reasons recorded rather than assumed.

DRAINED — the containment decision now comes from the canonical predicate:

  scripts/check-glossary-refs.cjs   local isWithinRoot deleted outright.
  src/installer-migrations.cts      ensureInsideConfig keeps its throw and its
                                    lexical fullPath; only the decision moves.
  src/planning-inspect.cts          isPathContained keeps must-exist as its own
                                    condition; only the decision moves.

Two of those are wrappers rather than deletions, and each is a wrapper for a
reason that would have been a silent behavior change if collapsed naively:

- `isPathContained` returns FALSE for a path that does not exist, because
  fs.realpathSync throws ENOENT and its catch swallows it. The canonical
  predicate does the opposite: for a missing target it walks up to the nearest
  existing ancestor and ACCEPTS a not-yet-created path under the root. Its
  callers at planning-inspect.cts:747 and :839 guard a phaseDir immediately
  before readdirSync, so under a naive swap a missing phaseDir would stop
  reporting scope UNREADABLE and start throwing ENOENT out of readdirSync.
  Existence is therefore kept as an explicit local requirement.

- `ensureInsideConfig` returns a LEXICAL fullPath that both callers consume for
  existsSync and for journal entries. The canonical predicate realpath-resolves,
  so if configDir is itself a symlink the two differ. The decision is canonical;
  the returned value stays lexical. Its message is likewise preserved verbatim,
  which is why this uses tryWithinRoot plus an explicit throw rather than
  assertWithinRoot.

`isWithinRoot` in planning-inspect is left in place and documented: it is a pure
comparison over paths the CALLER has already resolved, which readDocument does
inline specifically to keep a third degradation shape (exists-but-unreadable vs
absent) that neither isPathContained nor the canonical predicate expresses. It
is the comparison step of one implementation, not a second implementation.

RETAINED, DELIBERATELY — gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs. My own design document said
"collapse" and that was wrong. The file carries an explicit comment forbidding
it, and the comment is correct: its three checks reject symlinks OUTRIGHT, which
is strictly stricter than the canonical predicate, not a reimplementation of it.
The canonical predicate accepts a link whose target lands inside the root — for
a restore that is still wrong, because writing through the link overwrites
whatever it points at instead of materializing a regular file. Collapsing would
have reintroduced that hole. The comment is updated to name the current exported
predicate, to record that this was reviewed under this phase and deliberately
not collapsed, and to note that isInsideDir treats target === root as NOT
contained — the one implementation in the repo that does.

THE configHome RULING — retained lexical, and a false safety claim corrected.
isPathConfined stays lexical because two of its callers must validate a
destSubpath BEFORE the mkdirSync that creates it (install-engine.cts:1608,
install-profiles.cts:880), where realpath cannot resolve and a realpath-based
predicate would reject every legitimate install.

Its docstring's justification, however, did not survive being checked. It cited
capability-source.cts:491,577,675 as the upstream symlink rejection that made
the lexical form safe. Read directly: :491 is a blank line before assertSafeId's
JSDoc and :577 is an entry-count budget check. Neither is a symlink check. The
real guards are :585-586 and :671-674. Worse than stale line numbers, the claim
that this "keeps every caller of this function's callers symlink-safe" is false:
that rejection lives in capability-source's staging path and covers only the
capability-loader route to assertDescriptorConfined. Three other callers do not
reach it, and only retired-artifact-cleanup.cts:69 carries its own defense
(its lstatSync check at :77). The docstring now states what is actually true and
cites the lines that actually exist.

4cc2a466b5 fix(#4208): add --files-removed so commit --files can record a move without a directory pathspec (#4253)
* fix(#4208): add --files-removed so commit --files can record a move without a directory pathspec

`cmdCommit`'s `--files` list can stage an addition but never a deletion:
the #2014 guard skips a missing explicit entry because the filesystem
cannot tell "moved away" from "not written yet". A caller that moves a
file therefore had two forms, both wrong — a directory entry records the
move but also commits every unrelated file in that directory (a
concurrent session's in-flight todo, in the unattended execute-phase
sweep), and a file entry leaves the old path's deletion dangling with the
todo tracked at both paths.

`--files-removed <paths>` is the caller-declared delete intent. Each entry
names a file, or a directory whose tracked-but-absent files are the
removals; those paths are staged with `git rm --cached` and join the
commit pathspec. `--files` keeps its skip-if-missing contract untouched.
A file entry still present on disk fails the commit closed with the
existing staging-failure rollback; a never-tracked path is a no-op.
`--files-removed` alone is a declared scope, not the unscoped .planning/
sweep.

The dispatcher previously folded every non-flag token after `--files`
into that list, so a second list flag could not exist; each list now
runs from its flag to the next `--` token.

The execute-phase todo sweep names the moved todos on both sides from
CLOSED[@], and cleanup's archive commit moves .planning/phases/ and
.planning/quick/ under --files-removed.

Fixes #4208

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: cleanup.md — the archive commit moves phases/ and quick/ under --files-removed; the growth is one paragraph stating why those two directories must not be --files entries

* chore(#4208): set changeset fragment pr to 4253

* fix(#4208): fit execute-phase.md under the ADR-857 ceiling and re-point the #2415 guard

Three CI failures, all consequences of this PR's own change.

1. gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase.md was 93,577 bytes against the
   ADR-857 Phase 6 margin gate's <= 93,400 (hard ceiling 93,600). The
   three-line rationale comment plus the four-line array-building block
   added 318 bytes to a file that had only 141 of headroom on next.

   Move the rationale to docs/CLI-TOOLS.md -- which this PR already
   extends with the --files-removed contract, and which is where the
   ADR-857 gate wants call-site detail to live rather than in the host
   workflow -- and fold the array build onto one line. 93,577 -> 93,372.

2/3. tests/close-phase-todos-stage-deletion.test.cjs pinned the #2415
   guarantee to its old MECHANISM: it regex-matched the literal
   .planning/todos/{completed,pending}/ directory pathspecs in the
   commit --files list. This PR deliberately replaced those with named
   files (a directory entry also committed an unrelated todo a
   concurrent session dropped in mid-close), so the guard failed on a
   change it should have accepted.

   Re-point it at the new mechanism without weakening it: assert the
   ADDED array reaches --files, the REMOVED array reaches
   --files-removed, STATE.md is still committed, and -- newly -- that
   the two arrays are built from $COMPLETED_DIR and $PENDING_DIR
   respectively. Verified by negative control: deleting
   --files-removed "${REMOVED[@]}" from the workflow still fails the
   test, so the #2415 regression remains caught.

Note for the merge queue: #4233 also grows execute-phase.md (+114). The
two are additive -- different regions, no textual conflict -- so with
both landed the file reaches ~93,486, over the 93,400 margin though
under the 93,600 hard ceiling. Whichever merges second will need to
reclaim ~86 bytes.

* fix(#4208): reclaim execute-phase.md bytes so the PR is net-neutral under the ADR-857 margin

Rebasing onto next surfaced the byte-gate collision flagged earlier on
this PR: #4284 grew execute-phase.md by 95 bytes (93,259 -> 93,354),
so this PR's +113 landed at 93,467 against the <= 93,400 margin in
tests/claude-orchestration.test.cjs.

Compact the close_phase_todos step this PR already edits -- drop the
PHASE_NUM indirection, fold the normaliser and the match guard, print
the closed list with one printf, shorten the step's prose -- without
touching the mechanism the #2415 guard pins (ADDED/REMOVED arrays, the
plain mv). 93,467 -> 93,349: 5 bytes under the base, so the PR no
longer spends any of next's 46 bytes of headroom.

* fix(#4208): classify absent index entries before staging a removal; restore removed entries exactly on rollback

Review of #4253 found three Majors with one root cause: the removal
side judged presence by fs.lstatSync alone, where the addition side
already reads `git ls-files -v` state. Absence from the worktree is not
removal:

- a submodule gitlink (mode 160000) whose directory was deleted by hand
  lists like a file and was `rm --cached` with no .gitmodules cleanup;
- a skip-worktree path is never materialised by a cone-mode sparse
  checkout, so a directory entry over a sparse-excluded tree dropped
  that whole tree from the index;
- an assume-unchanged path's worktree state is not something git
  itself consults;
- an intent-to-add entry (`git add -N`) renders as a plain cached entry
  on the empty blob, yet nothing tracked exists to remove and no
  rollback can restore the flag.

The index listing now carries each entry's `ls-files -v -s` tag, mode
and stage. Only a plain cached (H), stage-0, non-gitlink entry is a
removal candidate; every other state is left alone under a directory
entry (exactly like a present file) and fails closed when named
directly, with the state in the error. "Named directly" is decided on
RESOLVED paths, not strings -- realpath of the longest existing prefix
with the absent tail re-appended: an absolute path, `./x`, `--cwd`, or a
symlinked spelling of the tree (macOS `/var` ->
`/private/var`, where `process.cwd()` is the real path and the caller's
absolute path is not -- CI on this round's first push) all resolve to the
same entry, where a string compare against git's cwd-relative output
silently took the directory polarity (pre-push review, driven; the
symlink case is driven with an aliased fixture directory). The enumeration's domain is what
`ls-files -v -s` can emit for an index entry, stated at the classifier.

The third Major -- on an unborn HEAD a successful `rm --cached` was
never rolled back when a later entry failed -- is fixed differently
from the review's suggestion. Pushing the path into stagedPaths would
put it on the commit pathspec, which a root commit refuses ("pathspec
did not match", driven), and `git reset -- <path>` cannot restore an
entry with no HEAD anyway. Instead every index entry this call removes
is recorded (mode, blob) before the `rm` and put back with
`update-index --cacheinfo` on rollback. That also restores a
caller-pre-staged blob at a removed path exactly, where a reset would
have silently replaced it with HEAD's version. The rollback is
best-effort, as the addition-side reset already was, and the docs say
so.

Eight tests: gitlink under a directory entry, named directly, and named
by absolute path; skip-worktree both forms; intent-to-add both forms;
assume-unchanged named; unborn-HEAD partial failure restores the
removal; pre-staged blob survives the rollback.

* fix(#4208): a boolean flag inside a commit path list no longer ends the list

Review minor on #4253: collectList stopped at the next `--` token, so a
positional wedged between a boolean flag and the next list flag
(`--files a --amend b --files-removed c`) was claimed by neither list
and silently dropped -- a regression in shape against the old
slice-to-end parse, which filtered `--` tokens and kept `b`. No current
call site interleaves that way, but the gap was real.

A list now runs to the next LIST flag (`--files` / `--files-removed`)
and skips boolean flags on the way, and a REPEATED list flag merges
its runs (`--files a --files b` -> [a, b]) as the slice-to-end parse
did -- a first cut stopped at the repeat and dropped `b`, the same
silent-drop shape one level over (pre-post comment audit). The only
change #4208 makes to parsing is that a second list flag can exist.
Tests: STATE.md wedged between --no-verify and --files-removed lands
in the commit; both runs of a repeated --files reach it.

* test(#4208): drive the reappearance window with a post-index-change hook

Review nit on #4253: the defensive re-check for a file recreated between
the absence test and `git rm --cached` -- the concurrent-session race
this PR's own changeset names -- had no test. git fires
post-index-change the moment `rm --cached` writes the index, so a hook
that copies the file back exactly then exercises the window
deterministically. The call reports staging_failed / "reappeared on
disk", commits nothing, and the rollback restores the removed entry.

* fix(#4208): restore a staged removal when the call records nothing

A `git rm --cached` that succeeds mutates the index whether or not a commit
follows. Only the staging-failure rollback put those entries back, so a call
that reached `nothing_to_commit` reported no state change while the removal sat
staged -- riding along on the caller's next commit.

The review named the unborn-HEAD, removal-only shape. Keying on `headExists`
would have fixed half of it: the guard also fires with a real HEAD when the
removed path is index-only (added, never committed), because `diff HEAD` reads
clean with the path absent on both sides. Both shapes now restore, at both
`nothing_to_commit` exits. The failure exits are deliberately left alone --
they report a failure rather than no-change, and the addition side leaves its
own staged paths there too.

* refactor(#4208): lift declared-removal staging out of the cmdCommit hotspot

`cmdCommit` was a critical-risk hotspot before this flag existed, and #4208 had
inlined another ~270 lines into it. `stageDeclaredRemovals(cwd, removedDeclared)`
now owns the index-state classification, path canonicalisation and entry
recording, returning the pathspec entries and the recorded removals its caller
merges.

Pure motion: no branch, message or probe changed. Only the two accumulators
became local names, and `restoreRemovedEntries` stays with the caller because
the exits that restore are the caller's. cmdCommit 888 -> 625 lines here; the
extracted helper is 277.

(Figures corrected after publication: an earlier version of this message said
854 -> 591 and claimed the result was below cmdCommit's pre-#4208 shape. Both
were wrong -- the count came from a faulty brace scanner, and `next`'s cmdCommit
is 581, so this is above it, not below.)

* test(#4208): property-test the two-list commit parser

RULESET.TESTS.property-based-testing asks a parser for at least one property
test asserting a domain invariant; `collectList` had only hand-picked examples,
one per shape a review round had already broken.

Hoisted it to module scope as `collectListFlagValues` and exported it in the
file's existing exported-for-tests convention -- a parser reachable only by
spawning the CLI can be tested one example at a time and no faster.

Three properties over generated argv: every positional lands in exactly the run
open at it whatever the flag order or count; no positional after the first list
flag is dropped or double-claimed; and with `--files-removed` absent the parse
equals the pre-#4208 slice-to-end parse. Controlled against two mutants -- a run
ending at any `--` token, and a repeated list flag that does not merge -- each
of which the properties catch.

* test(#4208): pin cleanup.md's archive commit to --files-removed

execute-phase.md's rewrite is pinned by the #2415 guard in this file;
cleanup.md's equivalent was not, so reverting its routing would have been
caught by nothing -- the mechanism's unit tests never read this file and pass
either way.

Asserts the two archived directories are under --files-removed and NOT under
--files (where a directory entry sweeps in a concurrent session's in-flight
writes), and that the destinations and STATE.md stay on the additive half.
Controlled by restoring the pre-#4208 sweep, which fails it.

* test(#4208): pin that a symlink to a directory is one tracked path

Review of #4253 read the `lstatSync(...).isDirectory()` test as a
symlink-following defect. Driving it says the opposite: git tracks the link as
a single blob (mode 120000) and does not traverse it, so the tracked paths
"under" it live at the real directory and were never named by the caller.
Following the link would stage those -- the directory sweep #4208 exists to
remove -- while the named entry still sat present on disk.

Pinned rather than changed, with the premise driven in the test body. Swapping
`lstatSync` for `statSync` -- the prescription as written -- fails it.

The base range added `tests/benchmark-compact-content.test.cjs` and a committed
token baseline over the compacted workflows. This PR edits
`gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase.md`, so the baseline drifts by +12 tokens on
that entry and on the aggregate.

those two entries and nothing else.

* fix(#4208): report a removal the call could not put back

Round review of this round found the restore itself unchecked: the helper
ignored `update-index`'s exit code, so a FAILED restore still reported
`nothing_to_commit` -- the same false "no state changed" the restore exists to
prevent, surviving one level down on the restore-failure path.

It now returns a boolean. The two no-change exits report `staging_failed`
naming the paths left staged; the staging-failure rollback still ignores it,
deliberately, because it is already reporting a failure and an unwritable index
is usually the failure being reported.

Driven with a post-index-change hook that makes the git dir unwritable the
moment `rm --cached` lands, so the restore cannot take its lock. Reverting both
guards fails the test.

* fix(#4208): disclose a removal the rollback could not restore

Round review refuted the reasoning behind leaving the rollback path's restore
unchecked. The claim was that this exit is already reporting a failure, so the
restore's result adds nothing. The counterexample is the ordinary case: the
reported failure is usually a DIFFERENT cause -- a contradictory declaration, a
reappeared path -- so a caller reading `failures` sees only that cause and
learns nothing about the removal still sitting in its index.

The rollback now appends a disclosure entry per un-restored removal, naming the
path. The reason and `file` still report the failure that caused the rollback;
the disclosure is additive.

Also moves the restore-failure test's chmod into a `finally`: `t.after` runs
AFTER the parent `afterEach`, so a throw before it left the fixture undeletable.

Both driven; reverting the disclosure fails the new test.

* fix(#4208): decide index state by observation, never by an exit code

The restore added two commits earlier keyed both its record decision and its
success verdict on git's exit code. An exit code answers "did the command
succeed", never "did the index change" -- execGit collapses a spawn timeout to
a non-zero exit, and a killed git can already have written the index. Round
review drove four failures from that one assumption, in both directions:

  - a failed `rm` still contributed an entry, so the rollback disclosed a
    removal that was never staged (stale index.lock);
  - a timed-out `rm` whose write DID land contributed none, so a real mutation
    was neither restored nor disclosed;
  - a timed-out `update-index` whose write landed reported failure, publishing
    a "could NOT be restored" disclosure that was false;
  - and the read-back that replaced it omitted `-z`, so core.quotePath rendered
    `café.md` as `"caf\303\251.md"` and an exactly-restored entry read as not
    restored -- the same quoting defect this PR already fixed for `preStaged`.

Everything now observes the index. A failed `rm` re-reads `ls-files -z` for the
path: gone means this call owns the removal and records it; still there means
nothing was staged; a probe that cannot answer becomes its own failure entry
rather than an assumption. The restore verifies the same way, comparing the
WHOLE entry (mode, blob, stage), because `--cacheinfo` restores all three and a
path-only test accepts an entry that came back as something else.

The verdict is three-valued -- `restored` / `not-restored` / `unverified` --
and the unverified wording says the restore could not be VERIFIED rather than
that it failed. The rm's own failure is pushed ahead of any probe diagnostic so
a timed-out removal keeps `timed_out: true` and its own message as the reported
cause.

Five regression cases, each negative-controlled against the shape it pins.

* fix(#4208): treat a declared removal path as a path, not a pathspec

An index path handed back to git is parsed as a PATHSPEC, and the removal side
handed several back. Three driven harms, all of them the sweep-in this flag
exists to remove, arriving through the operand rather than through a directory
entry:

  - a tracked file literally named `.planning/*.md` made `rm --cached` GLOB: it
    removed `peer.md` and `stays.md` too, only the declared entry was recorded,
    so the rollback restored one of three and the other two rode out as staged
    deletions the result disclosed nowhere;
  - the same name reached `git commit -- <paths>`, which globbed and committed
    an undeclared `M peer.md` alongside the declared removal;
  - and the intent-to-add probe (`diff --cached` over the path) matched a
    STAGED PEER instead of itself, so an `add -N` entry was misclassified as
    ordinary content, removed, and restored by `--cacheinfo` -- which cannot
    restore the intent flag. It came back as a real staged addition.

Every operand on this path is now `:(literal)`: the `rm`, both index probes,
the intent-to-add probe, the restore read-back, the entry-level `ls-files` /
`ls-tree`, and -- for the REMOVAL-derived entries only -- the downstream
`ls-files` / dry-run / `diff HEAD` / `commit` pathspec. `--files` entries keep
whatever pathspec behaviour they have today; that is not this change's to
alter. `:(literal)` still resolves a directory to its descendants (driven), so
the directory form is unchanged.

Closes what an earlier cut of this commit declared as a residual: a filename
beginning with `:` is now removable end to end, because the commit pathspec no
longer reinterprets it.

Also fixes a MINOR from the same review: cleanup.md's contract test checked the
destinations' position relative to `--files-removed` but never that `--files`
was present at all, so deleting the flag still passed.

Un-literalising the seven sites fails three of the new tests.

* fix(#4208): scope the rollback to the caller's own name space

Round review drove a rollback that destroyed the caller's own staged work. Two
causes, one of them pre-existing:

  - `git diff --cached` prints REPO-relative paths whatever the cwd, while
    `stagedPaths` holds the caller's cwd-relative names. In a project nested
    inside its repo (`<repo>/sub/.planning/...`) the two name spaces never
    intersect, so `preStaged` matched NOTHING, every path landed in `toUnstage`,
    and the reset unstaged a caller-staged deletion and modification that this
    call had never touched. `--relative` makes the two sets comparable, and is a
    no-op when the project IS the repo root. This governs the `--files` side too
    and predates this flag.
  - the rollback's `reset` was the last place a removal-derived name reached git
    as a bare pathspec; it takes `asPathspec` like every other site.

Driven on a nested fixture; dropping `--relative` fails the new test.

* test(#4208): gate six fixtures that Windows cannot construct

CI's `test (windows-latest, 24, shard 2/3)` went red on this round. Two
primitives the new fixtures rely on do not exist on Windows, both driven on a
real Windows host rather than inferred:

  - a filename containing `*` or `:` cannot be created at all (`IOException` /
    `FileNotFoundException`), which is four of the pathspec fixtures;
  - `chmod` cannot make a directory unwritable — a write into a ReadOnly
    directory succeeds — so the two restore-failure fixtures cannot drive the
    failure they exist to drive.

Each is skipped on win32 with its measured reason, in the repo's existing
`{ skip: process.platform === 'win32' ? '<reason>' : false }` form. The
behaviours they pin are platform-independent; only the fixtures are not.

* test(#4208): build git's index-syntax path with forward slashes

The remaining Windows red was mine, not the platform's: `git rev-parse :<path>`
takes a forward-slash path, and `path.join` yields backslashes there, so git
rejected it as an ambiguous argument. The hook in the same test already used
the slash form.

Not gated — the behaviour it pins is portable; only the argument was not.

Regenerated with `--target macos --write`; the platform tier was already in

did not surface it.

`cmdStateUpdate` unconditionally overwrote `updateCore`'s own `updated:true`

`[]` -- by design -- whenever `readModifyWriteStateMd`'s #948 no-op guard
fires because the transform's output was byte-identical to the input, which
happens precisely when the requested value already equals what's on disk.
The field genuinely was found and matched; there was simply nothing left to
change. Collapsing that into the same `false`/"not found" response as a
genuine miss produced an actively wrong diagnostic message and a silent
same-day no-op in gsd-ship + gsd-extract-learnings, which both write

Bundled discovery from this PR's own CI run: tests/lint-compiled-artifact-

artifact -- a tenth, later, separate instance of the #2657/#2653

cover. Untracked it and added the .gitignore entry, same fix shape as the
original nine. This eliminates the slow tsc-compile path entirely (verified:
0.1s vs ~7s locally) rather than papering over a timeout. Added a generic
regression test asserting the tracked set is fully empty.

42c02a00c0 enhance(#3418): report real codebase drift instead of the whole repository (#4124)
* fix(#3418): write the codebase-drift baseline from code instead of agent prose

writeMappedCommit shipped correct and callerless, so no full map-codebase run ever wrote last_mapped_commit. The gate then read null and diffed HEAD against the empty tree, reporting every tracked file as newly added on every run.

Adds the stamp-codebase-map leaf verb and calls it from the map-codebase workflow and the execute-phase auto-remap path, replacing the prose instruction that asked the mapper agent to stamp its own output. An agent that concludes its work is already done skips a prose step silently, which is the failure the stamp exists to detect.

The gate now reports an absent or unresolvable baseline as skipped, with reason no-mapped-commit or unresolvable-mapped-commit, rather than as whole-repo drift. Files under .planning/ are excluded from the diff so the map's own commit does not read as seven new directories on the next run.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: map-codebase.md — adds the stamp_codebase_map step and its rationale, new workflow content this change requires

* test(#3418): cover the stamp writer and the absent-baseline gate

* docs(#3418): document how the drift baseline is written and skipped

* docs(#3418): note that a manual stamp reflows the map's whitespace

writeMappedCommit writes through platformWriteSync, which normalizes markdown whitespace on .md targets. Run in its workflow position the stamp lands on documents the mapper just wrote, so the normalization is folded into the same commit, but a hand-run stamp over an already-committed map reflows that map as a side effect. Reported on the issue thread.

* chore(#3418): add changeset fragment

Typed Changed to match the enhancement route the linked issue's label sets. The docs-required lint is satisfied by the ARCHITECTURE.md update already in this branch.

* fix(#3418): anchor the planning-artifact filter to the repo root

git diff --name-status prints repo-root-relative paths whatever the cwd, so computing the exclusion prefix against cwd yielded ".planning/" while git printed "sub/.planning/" and the filter silently matched nothing from a subdirectory.

* fix(#3418): derive the planning prefix from git, not from path arithmetic

Anchoring the exclusion prefix with path.relative() against `rev-parse --show-toplevel` broke on Windows, where os.tmpdir() hands back the 8.3 short form and git resolves the long one, so relative() produced a "../.." chain that matched nothing. `rev-parse --show-prefix` gives the cwd's root-relative prefix from the same producer as the diff paths, so the two sides cannot disagree.

* fix(#3418): take the planning lock around the codebase-map stamp

Stamping seven documents is seven frontmatter read-modify-writes, and two stampers can run at once: the full map-codebase run and the execute-phase auto-remap. Wrap the write loop in withPlanningLock, the same lock the other .planning/ writers take, so a concurrent pair cannot lose an update.

Also corrects the path-arithmetic comment, which read as if the Windows short-path hazard applied to the .planning half of the prefix. It applies to the rejected --show-toplevel alternative; both sides of the surviving relative() call are the same cwd string.

* fix(#3418): read HEAD and the map file list under the planning lock

The stamp resolved HEAD and listed the present codebase-map documents before it acquired the planning lock, so a stamper that then waited on the lock could write its now-stale sha over a newer one, or recreate a document deleted while it waited as a frontmatter-only stub. Both reads now happen inside the lock, matching the read-and-write-in-one-lock pattern config.cts and phase.cts already use. An empty --files value is refused as well instead of silently widening the stamp to all seven documents.

* fix(#3418): narrow the map stamp to the documents an update run refreshed

An "Update - only update specific documents" run reached the new stamp step with no --files narrowing, so the six documents the user did not select were stamped at HEAD and read as freshly mapped. The selection now threads through to --files, the same way the auto-remap path already does.

A bare --files (an unquoted empty shell variable drops the token) parsed to null, indistinguishable from an absent flag, so it skipped the empty-filter refusal and stamped all seven. Presence is now read off argv.

* fix(#3418): require the drift baseline to resolve to a commit, not any object

`git cat-file -t` exits 0 for a tree or blob sha and for a ref name, and `git diff <tree> HEAD` is valid, so an exit-code-only probe accepted a baseline that is not a commit and reported the resulting diff as real drift. Check the reported type instead of the exit code alone, which routes every non-commit stamp to the same `unresolvable-mapped-commit` skip.

3ad75a6d59 enhance(#4285): resolve context-monitor fire-points from .planning/config.json (#4366)
* enhance(#4285): resolve context-monitor fire-points from .planning/config.json

The monitor's WARNING (35%) and CRITICAL (25%) fire-points were module
constants, so the only way to tune them was editing gsd-context-monitor.js —
a file in the MANAGED hooks registry, whose body the next install re-stages,
silently discarding the edit. The alternative was turning the safety net off.

Both are now readable from the config block the hook already opens:
hooks.context_warning_threshold and hooks.context_critical_threshold. Absent
keys resolve to today's 35/25, so every existing project is byte-identical.

Resolution is total and never throws — this hook must not block the tool call
it rides in on. A value is usable only if Number.isFinite (type-strict, so the
string "30" and true are rejected) and inside the 0-100 domain of the
remaining_percentage it is compared against; anything else falls back to the
default. The PAIR falls back together: critical >= warning has no coherent
reading, and honouring one side silently picks which of the operator's two
numbers to discard. That also covers a single override contradicting the other
key's default.

config-set validates the domain per key so accept and honour agree, but
deliberately does not enforce the pair — it writes one key per call, so a
two-step retune is transiently inconsistent on disk and refusing it there
would block a legitimate configuration.

Registration follows the statusline.show_git precedent: schema manifest plus
src/config.cts validation, not config-defaults.manifest.json and not
buildNewProjectConfig — emitting 35/25 into every new project would pin the

* enhance(#4285): address Codex review — per-key fallback docs, discriminating tests

Codex full-PR review (gpt-6-astra, read-only) returned five findings. Each was
verified against source before acting; all five are real.

1. docs/CONFIGURATION.md described the wrong fallback. An out-of-domain value
   falls back PER KEY; both defaults apply only when the RESOLVED pair violates
   critical < warning. warning 150 with critical 30 resolves to 35/30, not
   35/25 — at remaining 28 that difference changes the severity emitted. The
   table now states the two rules in the order they compose, and
   docs/context-monitor.md gains the same worked example.

2. The inconsistent-pair test could not prove the CRITICAL side reverts: its
   pair was 20/25, and 25 is already the default, so an implementation that
   reset only `warning` passed it. A 45/50 pair — both halves away from their
   defaults — now pins each side with its own reading, and an equal 45/45 pair
   pins that the rule is strict (`<`, not `<=`).

3. The rejection table's rows could not tell rejection from acceptance: an
   accepted -5 pairs with the default critical 25, trips the pair check, and
   produces the same silence. Two rows now separate those: a below-domain
   critical must escalate remaining 20 to CRITICAL (proving -5 was rejected,
   not honoured), and an unusable critical beside a usable warning 45 must
   still fire WARNING at remaining 40 (proving per-key fallback rather than
   reset-both). The over-claiming comments are narrowed to what each row
   actually shows.

4. Scope, reproduced rather than assumed: config-set writes through
   planningDir(), so under GSD_WORKSTREAM it lands in
   .planning/workstreams/<name>/config.json while this hook reads only
   <cwd>/.planning/config.json. That is the pre-existing root-only scope
   hooks.context_warnings has always had, but this PR advertises the setter
   route, so both docs now say the keys are root-project settings.

5. Four other English docs still stated 35/25 as fixed: the REQ-CTX-02/03
   requirements fragment, ARCHITECTURE.md's hook table and threshold table,
   and INVENTORY.md's hook row. All now name them as defaults and point at the
   config keys; docs/FEATURES.md is regenerated from its fragment via
   scripts/gen-features.cjs --write, not hand-edited.

Four new mutations, each reverted after: resetting only the warning half on an
inconsistent pair (1 red), resetting both on any unusable key (1), dropping the
>= 0 bound (1), and accepting critical == warning (1). perf-317 is 116/0.

* enhance(#4285): tighten claims after Codex round 2 — scoped paths, one more discriminator

Confirmation round found no runtime defect and confirmed the five round-1 fixes
landed. Four precision items, all real, all fixed here.

1. The scoped-write note named the wrong path for GSD_PROJECT. planningDir()
   composes three distinct shapes, confirmed by running config-set under each:
   .planning/<project>/config.json, .planning/workstreams/<ws>/config.json, and
   .planning/<project>/workstreams/<ws>/config.json. docs/context-monitor.md
   now tabulates all four cases instead of collapsing them into one.

2. The 45/50 silence row asserted empty stdout without pinning the exit code.
   runMonitorRaw turns a spawn failure, a non-zero exit or a timeout into empty
   stdout as well, so the row could have passed on a dead child. It asserts
   exitCode === 0 first now, like the equal-pair row already did.

3. The sibling row's message claimed it proved critical fell back to 25. It
   does not: coercing '30' to 30 yields WARNING at remaining 40 too, so the row
   pins the WARNING side surviving and nothing more. Message narrowed, and a
   new row reads the same config at remaining 28, where the two candidate
   resolutions diverge — rejected gives (45, 25) and WARNING, coerced gives
   (45, 30) and CRITICAL. Mutation-verified: swapping Number.isFinite for the
   coercing global reds it.

4. "Accept and honour must agree" was too absolute in the src/config.cts and
   tests/config.test.cjs comments. The agreement holds on the DOMAIN and per
   key: an accepted value can still lose to the hook's pair check at read time,
   and a scoped write never reaches the hook at all. Likewise a two-step retune
   only CAN be transiently inconsistent — 35/25 to 20/10 is valid throughout if
   critical moves first — so the docs now say what a setter-side pair check
   would actually cost: rejecting that intermediate write and forcing an order.

The same over-absolute phrasing is in b7d179c89's message, which is left as
written rather than rewriting history; this commit and the PR body carry the
precise claim.

perf-317 117/0, config 192/0, config-field-docs 47/0, features-index-gate 84/0,
lint:ci clean cold.

* enhance(#4285): address review — planning-config rows, resolveThresholds properties

Two Minor findings from the maintainer review, no behaviour change.

Minor 1: gsd-core/references/planning-config.md's "Hook Fields" table gains
rows for hooks.context_warning_threshold and hooks.context_critical_threshold,
in that table's 5-column form, carrying the same per-key-fallback,
pair-reversion and root-config-scope claims docs/CONFIGURATION.md already
makes. hooks.workflow_guard's absence from that table is pre-existing and
out of scope here.

Minor 2: resolveThresholds() gets fast-check property coverage, which ADR 456
requires of a threshold/limit contract. Reaching it needed a require-time
seam: the resolver was previously observable only by spawning the hook, and a
subprocess per case cannot drive 200 runs — the same conclusion CONTEXT-INDEX
records for the ROADMAP Requirements parser. The stdin adapter therefore moves
into main() behind `require.main === module`, mirroring
gsd-cursor-subagent-start.js and gsd-statusline.js, and module.exports exposes
the resolver plus both default constants so a test asserts fallback against
the source of truth rather than a second copy of 35/25. Spawned behaviour is
unchanged: the 10s stdin timeout still arms per invocation (stdinTimeout is
now a module-scope let assigned in main(), still cleared by the end handler),
and the try/catch crash(ON_CRASH) path is untouched.

Seven properties: totality, ordering, exactness, togetherness, non-vacuity,
per-key fallback, non-object argument. Exactness is stated PER KEY — a mixed
result (one key honoured, one fallen back) is legal and is the documented
contract; the property falsified a per-pair phrasing of it in 4 runs.

Verified: cold lint:ci 0; perf-317 file 125/0; seven mutations killed and
restored, one of which (upper bound widened to 120) is invisible to the 17
hand-written cases and caught only by a property.

* enhance(#4285): close the Codex-found gap in the property coverage

Codex whole-PR review of round 3 returned no Blocker and no Major. Two items,
both in the tests added this round, both verified against source before acting.

Minor — the per-key fallback property was asymmetric: it required a usable
warning to survive an unusable critical, but never the reverse. A resolver
that reverted BOTH keys the moment warning was unusable passed all seven
properties. Reproduced exactly: that mutant answers 35/25 for
{warning: 150, critical: 30} where the resolver answers 35/30, and the file
stayed green at 125/0. The mirrored property closes it — with the mutant
re-applied it is now the single failing row, and it is the only row that
fails, so it is load-bearing rather than incidental.

Nit — the ordering property's comment credited it with catching a
half-honoured pair, which it does not: 45/50 "repaired" by resetting only
critical yields 45/25, perfectly ordered. That case belongs to togetherness.
The same comment claimed the behavioural rows sample an inconsistent pair at
exactly one point; stale — they cover 20/25, 45/50 and the 45/45 equality
boundary. Both claims corrected in place.

Verified: cold lint:ci 0; perf-317 file 126/0; the mutant above killed by the
new property alone and the hook restored byte-identical afterwards.

* enhance(#4285): name the installed-monitor prerequisite; close the negative-critical gap

Second Codex whole-PR pass, run because the base moved: the author's three
"Update branch" merges pulled ~26 upstream commits in, so the previously
reviewed diff sat on a base that no longer exists. No Blocker, no Major, two
Minor — both verified against source before acting.

Minor 1, and only reachable because of what the merge brought in: #2586
(03738824d) landed in that window and stops staging
hooks/gsd-context-monitor.js for Codex, since the metrics bridge it reads is
written only by hooks/gsd-statusline.js, which Codex never installs
(bin/install.js: "gsd-context-monitor.js is deliberately NOT copied for
Codex"). These two keys are read by that hook and nothing else, so on such a
runtime config-set stores and validates them and nothing consumes them — a
claim the docs this PR adds did not make. docs/context-monitor.md now carries
the explanation and both key tables carry a clause pointing at it; the FEATURES
and INVENTORY entries already link through to those two files, so they are not
edited again. The changeset says it too, because it is user-facing.

Accepting the keys on every runtime is kept deliberately: config is shared
across runtimes, so validation stays runtime-independent and the runtime
caveat lives in documentation rather than in the setter.

Minor 2: the per-key fallback property's junk generator had no negative arm,
though its mirror did — and that asymmetry hid a gap. A resolver reverting
BOTH keys whenever critical is negative answers 35/25 for {45, -5} where the
resolver answers 45/25, and it passed all 126 tests. With the negative arm
added it is the single failing row.

Verified: cold lint:ci 0; perf-317 126/0; both mutants above killed and the
hook restored byte-identical; 538/0 across the config, changeset, doc-parity
and emitted-attribution gates.

* enhance(#4285): refuse the two dead threshold endpoints; resolve absent keys

Maintainer review round 2 raised two Minors and a nit.

Minor 1 — `hooks.context_warning_threshold: 0` was accepted and stored but can
never take effect: `critical < warning` must hold and both sides are clamped to
0-100, so nothing can sit below a warning of 0. Verifying it surfaced the MIRROR
case the review did not name: `critical: 100` is equally dead, since nothing can
sit above it. Both confirmed against the real resolver for partners {absent, 0,
50, 100}, with 0.001 and 99.999 honoured as controls.

`config-set` now refuses both, because storing a value the reader always
discards is the accept-then-discard shape this codebase refuses elsewhere. The
hook is unchanged and still total — it degrades to defaults rather than
throwing, so a project that already carries one of these on disk still loads.
The old "accepts the domain bounds 0 and 100" row asserted the misleading half
and is replaced by tables that make the asymmetry the point (0 is legal for
critical and illegal for warning; 100 is the reverse), plus a control row so
"refuse both endpoints outright" would not pass in its place.

Minor 2 — the keys are absent from config-defaults.manifest.json /
buildNewProjectConfig where the sibling `hooks.context_warnings` lives. Kept
that way: buildNewProjectConfig writes a hooks object into every NEW project's
config.json, which would freeze today's fire-points as an explicit per-project
override everywhere — the opposite of this PR's premise. But the underlying
complaint was real, so the actual symptom is fixed: `config-get` on an absent
key returned "Key not found" while the hook silently used 35/25. It now resolves
through SCHEMA_DEFAULTS. Restated rather than derived because CONFIG_DEFAULTS is
re-exported flattened and has no `hooks` member at runtime; the one resulting
copy of 35/25 outside the hook is pinned against the hook's exported constants
by a drift test (red-checked: moving the literal to 40 reds it).

Nit — PR-body counts unverifiable from the diff. Noted, no code change.

Codex round 3 then found a broken doc link (`context-monitor.md` resolved
inside gsd-core/references/, where it does not exist; the emitted tree's own
convention is `../../docs/...`) and a stale comment still describing the
manifest-derived approach I had backed out. Both fixed. It also corrected my
rationale on a point of fact: manifest entries alone would NOT have reached new
project configs, since buildNewProjectConfig builds its own literal — the
freezing argument applies to that function, not to the manifest. The comment now
says so rather than running the two together.

Verified: cold lint:ci 0; full suite 36,082 / 0 fail before these two fixes,
config + perf-317 321/0 after; drift pin red-checked.

18c899def5 enhance(#4209): optional external source reviewer lanes for /gsd:code-review (#4323)
* test(01-01): define reviewer-support trait contract

Add failing coverage for step.supportsReviewerLanes (#4209 DISP-02):
validator rejects non-boolean values with an exact field path, accepts
missing/true/false, and the real code-review capability.json steps
must declare supportsReviewerLanes: true. Add loop-resolver projection
coverage proving the trait reaches activeHooks verbatim for a
provider-neutral synthetic step (not code-review-specific), and that
omitted/false values stay inert (no key on the active hook).

All 8 new assertions fail today: the validator has no such field, and
loop-resolver has nothing to project. RED before GREEN.

* feat(01-01): declare reviewer-capable steps

Add step.supportsReviewerLanes (#4209 DISP-02): a strict optional
boolean opt-in trait, step-scoped (not capability-wide). Only a
literal true validates and projects; false/omitted stay inert (no
key on the projected active hook), and every non-boolean type fails
capability-validator.cjs with an exact field-path error.

Opt both existing code-review steps (execute:post, execute:wave:post)
into the trait in capabilities/code-review/capability.json. Project
the validated field through src/loop-resolver.cts into activeHooks
so a provider-neutral generic interpreter can read it without any
code-review-specific knowledge. Document the field in
docs/reference/capability-manifest.md and regenerate
gsd-core/bin/lib/capability-registry.cjs via the generator (never
hand-edited).

Makes all 8 RED assertions from the prior commit pass.

* test(01-02): define shared reviewer dispatch

- Add tests/reviewer-step-dispatch.test.cjs covering dispatchReviewerLanes:
  inert when the supportsReviewerLanes trait is off or nothing is selected,
  exactly-once plan/invoke per selected lane, duplicate-alias dedup, the
  bounded metadata-only source-review prompt (repo root, paths+baseSha,
  depth, four fixed prohibitions), and capability-neutral reuse via a
  second synthetic step context.
- RED: module under test (src/reviewer-step-dispatch.cts) does not exist
  yet, so require() fails and every assertion is unreached.

* feat(01-02): dispatch reviewers for opted-in steps

- Add src/reviewer-step-dispatch.cts: dispatchReviewerLanes(input, deps),
  ONE interpreter for a step's supportsReviewerLanes trait. Reuses
  resolveReviewerSelection for selection and resolveLanePlan for planning
  (both already-existing, pure building blocks); invocation is the one
  required, caller-injected seam (deps.invoke) since runLane needs
  OS-aware spawn plumbing this module does not own.
- trait !== true, or a selection resolving to zero lanes, dispatches
  nothing (zero plan/invoke calls). Each selected lane is planned and
  invoked exactly once, in the selector's deduped/sorted order.
- buildSourceReviewPrompt assembles a metadata-only bounded prompt
  (repo root, canonical paths + base SHA, depth, four fixed
  prohibitions) — never file contents — written once per dispatch and
  shared across every invoked lane.
- GREEN: tests/reviewer-step-dispatch.test.cjs now passes.

* test(01-02): define reviewer dispatch failures

- Extend tests/reviewer-step-dispatch.test.cjs with the fail-closed
  matrix: an explicitly requested lane the selector could not resolve
  still lets the OTHER resolved lane run, but the aggregate result must
  never read as a clean success (and 'every explicit lane unavailable'
  must be distinguishable from the plain no-flags-passed inert case);
  request-level validation (path traversal, absolute paths outside
  repoRoot, empty/non-string paths, missing depth/base SHA) halts the
  whole dispatch before any lane is planned or invoked; a per-lane
  prompt-budget overflow hard-fails only that lane before invoke while
  its sibling still runs.
- RED: src/reviewer-step-dispatch.cts does not yet implement any of
  these guards, so 9 of the new assertions fail against the current
  (Task 1) implementation.

* fix(01-02): fail closed in reviewer dispatch

- src/reviewer-step-dispatch.cts: add the fail-closed guards the prior
  commit deliberately left out. An explicitly requested lane the
  selector could not resolve no longer lets the aggregate read as a
  clean success — lanes that DID resolve still run and keep their
  results (never narrow the requested set), but selection.errors now
  flips the aggregate ok to false, and 'every explicit lane
  unavailable' is now distinguishable (SELECTION_FAILED) from the
  plain no-flags-passed inert case (NO_LANES_SELECTED).
- Add request-level validation (validatePaths, depth/baseSha presence)
  that halts the WHOLE dispatch before any lane is planned or invoked:
  path traversal, absolute paths outside repoRoot, empty/non-string
  paths, and missing provenance are all rejected up front.
- Add per-lane prompt-budget enforcement (resolveBudget, mirroring
  gsd-tools.cjs's budgetFor convention including budget 0 = unbounded):
  a lane whose resolved budget the prompt exceeds hard-fails before
  invoke runs for it, without cancelling a sibling lane already
  planned.
- Document the supportsReviewerLanes trait and its dispatch-step
  interpreter in gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md.
- GREEN: all 19 tests in tests/reviewer-step-dispatch.test.cjs pass;
  no regressions in the review-lane/reviewer-selection/prompt-budget
  suites (356 passing).

* test(01-03): define optional source reviewer flow

RED: assert code-review.md dispatches roster-derived reviewer-lane flags
through a single review-lane dispatch-step call (DISP-01..05), that the
no-flag path stays byte-for-behavior unchanged (COMP-01), and that
external evidence reaching the internal reviewer prompt is marked
unverified (CONS-02). Also covers the CLI contract directly: no-op with
no explicit selection, and fail-closed on an explicit unknown lane
(SAFE-07) via real gsd-tools.cjs subprocess calls.

* feat(01-03): route optional source reviewers

GREEN: code-review.md gains a dispatch_reviewer_lanes step that matches
canonical reviewer-lane flags against the merged first-party + installed
roster (never a hand-maintained list) and, only when at least one is
present, calls the shared reviewer-step interpreter exactly once with the
already-resolved repo root, file scope, depth, and base SHA. Its evidence
paths are appended to the internal reviewer prompt via
${EXTERNAL_EVIDENCE_BLOCK}, explicitly marked unverified. No reviewer-lane
flag leaves the internal-only dispatch byte-for-behavior unchanged
(COMP-01).

Deviation (Rule 3 — blocking issue): 01-02 documented `review-lane
dispatch-step` (gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md) as the CLI
route `dispatchReviewerLanes` wires through, but never implemented the
gsd-tools.cjs subcommand — the workflow's call had nothing to reach. Add
it to the existing review-lane router, reusing the same effort-aware plan
building and runner deps `plan`/`invoke` already use (factored into
buildLaneRunnerDeps to avoid duplicating the spawn/http/fs seam). Guard
the CLI's own `detected` set on whether an explicit flag was passed:
resolveReviewerSelection's no-explicit-selection fallback is "select every
detected reviewer" (the correct default for /gsd:review), and passing it
an unconditionally non-empty detected set would silently invoke the whole
roster on every no-flag code review, violating COMP-01.

* test(01-03): define external finding consolidation

RED: assert gsd-code-reviewer.md treats <external_reviewer_evidence> as
untrusted input — independently re-verifies every claim against the actual
current source, resists a prompt-injection attempt embedded in evidence
text, and folds a verified claim into the existing Narrative Findings
section with no second REVIEW.md schema (CONS-01..03). Also assert
code-review.md's EXTERNAL_EVIDENCE_BLOCK restates the four fixed
source-review prohibitions (SAFE-03..06) at the internal-reviewer handoff.

* feat(01-03): consolidate external review evidence

GREEN: gsd-code-reviewer.md's load_context parses <external_reviewer_evidence>
as untrusted data, independently re-verifies every cited claim against the
actual current source before it can appear in REVIEW.md, and explicitly
resists prompt injection embedded in evidence text (never a command, no
matter what it claims to be). A verified claim folds into the existing
Narrative Findings section with (external: {slug}) provenance — one
REVIEW.md schema only, no separate external-findings section.
code-review.md's EXTERNAL_EVIDENCE_BLOCK now restates the four fixed
source-review prohibitions (SAFE-03..06) at the internal-reviewer handoff.

* fix(01-02): gitignore the reviewer-step-dispatch build artifact

01-02 added src/reviewer-step-dispatch.cts but never added its
npm run build:lib output to .gitignore, unlike every sibling
gsd-core/bin/lib/*.cjs generated file. Left it showing as untracked
noise in git status.

* docs(01-04): publish user and command contract for reviewer-lane source review

- Document optional reviewer-lane flags on /gsd-code-review in USER-GUIDE.md
  and COMMANDS.md: opt-in, no source bodies in prompts, no fallback on
  failure, findings independently consolidated into the single REVIEW.md
- Add the same contract to the docs/features/code-review-pipeline.md
  fragment and regenerate docs/FEATURES.md from it
- Preserve /gsd-review as the plan-review command; cross-reference it
  rather than duplicating the reviewer roster
- Pick up docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json and skills/gsd-code-review/SKILL.md
  drift owned by source already shipped in Plans 01-01/01-03 but never
  regenerated (npm run regen:derived had not been run in this worktree)

* docs(01-04): align architecture and agent ownership docs for reviewer-lane trait

- ARCHITECTURE.md: trace the #4209 capability trait (supportsReviewerLanes)
  through the shared dispatchReviewerLanes interpreter to the existing
  review-lane plan/invoke machinery, ending at gsd-code-reviewer as the
  sole REVIEW.md consolidator
- AGENTS.md: document gsd-code-reviewer's full-context verification scope
  and its treatment of external reviewer evidence as unverified input
- No new diagram, abstraction, or config key; docs/CONFIGURATION.md is
  unchanged since the feature adds no setting or default

* fix(01-02): eslint-ignore the reviewer-step-dispatch build artifact

Same gap as the earlier .gitignore fix: 01-02 added
src/reviewer-step-dispatch.cts but never added its generated
gsd-core/bin/lib/reviewer-step-dispatch.cjs output to
eslint.config.mjs's ignore list like every sibling generated file,
so tsc's emitted __importDefault CommonJS-interop var tripped
no-var.

* fix(01-04): add the reviewer-step-dispatch.cjs roster row to docs/INVENTORY.md

01-04 regenerated docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json (which now lists
cli_modules/reviewer-step-dispatch.cjs) but the hand-written roster
row in docs/INVENTORY.md — required by design, since a role sentence
cannot be generated — was never added.

* fix(01-01): update the code-review capability-step fixture for supportsReviewerLanes

refactor-trigger-cli.test.cjs's preservesCodeReviewHookShapeAlongsideRefactorHook
strict-deep-equals the code-review step's exact shape at execute:post; 01-01 added
supportsReviewerLanes: true to that step and this fixture was not updated.

* chore(01-03): acknowledge emitted-doc growth for code-review.md and gsd-code-reviewer.md

Both files grew as a direct, intended consequence of wiring optional
reviewer lanes into /gsd:code-review (the new dispatch_reviewer_lanes
step and the untrusted-evidence consolidation contract) — not
incidental drift.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: code-review.md — new dispatch_reviewer_lanes step and EXTERNAL_EVIDENCE_BLOCK wiring for optional reviewer lanes (#4209)
Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-code-reviewer.md — untrusted external-evidence consolidation contract for optional reviewer lanes (#4209)

* test(01-05): define WR-01/WR-02 reliability contract for dispatchReviewerLanes

From internal code review: dispatched must be false when zero lanes
actually reached plan(), and a throwing plan()/invoke() for one lane
must not discard results already collected for a sibling lane —
matching the fail-closed pattern gsd-tools.cjs already uses for the
same resolveLanePlan call (#2494/#2605/#1698/#1936/#2073/#2176/#2589/#2794).

Refs: gsd-core-dks.16, gsd-core-dks.17

* fix(01-05): close WR-01/WR-02/IN-01/IN-02 from internal review

- WR-01: dispatched now tracks whether any lane actually reached
  plan(), not results.length — an unresolvable selected slug no
  longer reports dispatched:true.
- WR-02: plan()/writePromptFile()/invoke() wrapped per-lane so a
  throw for one lane can never discard results already collected
  for a sibling lane, matching the same guard gsd-tools.cjs already
  has around the identical resolveLanePlan call.
- IN-01: documents the intentional budget===0-is-unbounded
  convention (#2797) the caller already relies on.
- IN-02: review-lane dispatch-step no longer blocks indefinitely on
  an un-piped interactive TTY; fails closed to empty paths instead.

* docs(01-05): add changeset fragment for PR #17

* fix(01-03): allowlist prompt-injection-scan false positive on the untrusted-evidence contract

agents/gsd-code-reviewer.md's untrusted-evidence section and its
pinning regression test both quote injection phrases as the exact
attack they defend against/detect — same
DEFECT.PROMPT-INJECTION-SCAN-COLLISION class as the existing
allowlist entries, not an actual injection vector.

* test(01-05): extend WR-02 coverage to writePromptFile/invoke throws; DIFF_BASE-empty skip

From CodeRabbit review: WR-02's earlier fix only wrapped plan() —
writePromptFile()/deps.invoke() still ran unguarded, so a throw
there still aborted every later selected lane. Also covers the
dispatch_reviewer_lanes DIFF_BASE-empty-provenance gap (explicit
lanes silently not running when no prior review and no phase-start
commit exist).

* fix(01-05): skip dispatch_reviewer_lanes with a clear warning when DIFF_BASE cannot be resolved

Previously an explicit reviewer-lane request with no prior review and
no resolvable phase-start commit reached dispatch-step with an empty
--base-sha, which fails closed via missing_provenance — correct, but
silent about why explicitly requested lanes didn't run. Now skip
dispatch entirely in that case with a stderr warning naming the
actual cause.

* fix(01-05): wrap writePromptFile/invoke in the same per-lane try/catch as plan()

WR-02's original fix only guarded plan() — a throw from
writePromptFile() or deps.invoke() still aborted the whole dispatch,
discarding results already collected for lanes processed earlier in
the loop. CodeRabbit caught the gap; WR-02b/WR-02c pin it.

* fix(01-05): WR-02b mock must throw only on the first writePromptFile() call

The committed mock threw unconditionally, so codex's retry also threw and
failed for the same reason as claude's — the test could not distinguish
'sibling still runs' from 'sibling also breaks'. Gate the throw to the
first call, matching WR-02/WR-02c's single-failure intent.

* fix(#4209): close review findings from adversarial + critical-code-reviewer pass

Two independent reviews (agy adversarial review, Opus critical-code-reviewer +
ponytail) found 6 Blocking and 7 Required issues in the reviewer-lane dispatch
wiring around dispatchReviewerLanes. All 13 tracked in gsd-core-dks.18-30 and
fixed here:

- dispatch-step's reducer silently swallowed whole-dispatch rejections
  (invalid paths, missing provenance, etc); it now checks parsed.ok/reason.
- spawn_reviewer recomputed its own stale DIFF_BASE, diverging from the
  LAST_REVIEW_COMMIT-aware value dispatch_reviewer_lanes uses on re-review;
  now shares the single compute_file_scope derivation.
- the external reviewer prompt had no actual review request or citation
  requirement, only prohibitions; added both.
- removed the supportsReviewerLanes trait plumbing (capability registry,
  validator, loop-resolver, docs, tests) — it was never consulted by the
  real dispatch path, which gates on explicit CLI flags instead.
- flag-resolution require() was a fragile cwd-relative literal that failed
  silently on non-vendored installs; now resolves via GSD_TOOLS's own
  directory and warns instead of swallowing failure.
- reducer didn't unwrap the @file: overflow protocol for large payloads.
- deduplicated resolveBudget/budgetFor into one resolveLaneBudget.
- lane artifacts now write to a mktemp run dir instead of $PHASE_DIR, so a
  second dispatch can't overwrite prior evidence.
- validatePaths rejects control characters, closing a markdown-injection
  vector into the external prompt via crafted filenames.
- reworded the one line that tripped prompt-injection-scan.sh instead of
  allowlisting the whole production prompt file.
- fixed a stale docstring range and a dispatched-field ordering bug.
- added 3 integration tests executing the actual reducer against synthetic
  dispatch-step JSON, replacing markdown-substring-only assertions.

771/771 tests pass across every touched suite; tsc --noEmit clean.

* fix(#4209): wire supportsReviewerLanes as the maintainer's required reusable trait

The maintainer's approval on issue #4209 explicitly redirected implementation
shape: reviewer-lane dispatch must be a reusable capability/step-dispatch
trait ("supportsReviewerLanes"), not code-review.md hand-wiring the call
itself. My previous commit (e2558326) deleted that trait entirely after
finding it declared-but-never-consulted, which was backwards — the fix was to
wire it, not remove it.

Restores the trait (capability.json, generated registry, validator,
loop-resolver.cts, docs, tests) and wires it for real: dispatch_reviewer_lanes
now resolves its own active hook via `gsd_run loop render-hooks` for the
configured workflow.code_review_point and only proceeds to CLI-flag matching
when supportsReviewerLanes reads true. Explicit flags no longer bypass the
trait; a matching flag with the trait false resolves zero slugs (proven by a
new integration test executing the real fence with both trait states).

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-core/workflows/code-review.md — the
dispatch_reviewer_lanes step grows a trait-resolution fence (#4209 maintainer
redirect requires the capability layer, not the workflow, own the opt-in
decision).

* fix(#4209): dispatch-step self-verifies the reviewer-lane trait via --cap-id/--point

Both an agy adversarial review and an Opus critical-code-reviewer pass
independently found the same gap in my previous commit (9b2c3773d): the trait
check I wired into code-review.md only protected code-review's OWN
invocation — gsd-tools.cjs's dispatch-step handler still hardcoded
`trait: true` unconditionally, so a second capability declaring
supportsReviewerLanes would get zero enforcement from the shared CLI unless
it correctly re-implemented the ~15-line render-hooks scrape itself. That is
exactly the "each workflow.md hand-wiring the call" the maintainer's redirect
said to eliminate.

Moves the trait check into dispatch-step itself: given --cap-id/--point, it
self-invokes `loop render-hooks <point>` (relocating the one subprocess
code-review.md used to spawn for this, not adding a new one) and derives the
real trait from that capId's active hook, rather than trusting a
caller-passed boolean. code-review.md now only passes
--cap-id code-review --point "$CODE_REVIEW_POINT" and no longer resolves or
gates on the trait itself — the ~20-line scrape it previously carried is
gone. Any other capability opts into the identical enforcement by declaring
the trait and passing the same two flags.

Replaced the two tests that stipulated SUPPORTS_REVIEWER_LANES as an input
variable (they proved a bash branch honors a variable, not that the variable
reflects the real capability manifest) with three integration tests that
invoke the real dispatch-step CLI against the real first-party capability
registry: the real code-review trait resolves true, an unknown --cap-id
resolves false (trait_not_enabled, fail-closed), and omitting
--cap-id/--point entirely resolves false (no context means no opt-in).

Also: reject \x7f/U+2028/U+2029 in validatePaths' control-character check
(agy-F1 was incomplete), and delete the promptWritten per-lane coupling
flag — the prompt write is idempotent, so writing it once per lane instead
of gating on "did any lane write it yet" removes a latent bug where a
deps.plan override that ever varies promptPath per lane would silently skip
writing for a later lane.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-core/workflows/code-review.md — net line count
drops (the trait scrape moved into dispatch-step), but the file still grew
this session across multiple commits; acknowledging per the growth-tracking
convention.

* fix(#4209): remove per-run token waste from the shipped prompts

Runtime prompt content, not session tokens: two real, per-invocation token
costs in the code that ships.

1. agents/gsd-code-reviewer.md's critical_rules restated nearly all of
   load_context step 5's ~180-word untrusted-evidence contract in ~90 more
   words, breaking this section's own established terse one-liner style
   (every other rule here is 1-2 sentences). This prompt loads fresh on
   every /gsd:code-review invocation. Shrunk to a one-line cross-reference,
   matching how write_review's own reference to step 5 already does it.

2. buildSourceReviewPrompt repeated the base SHA on every single file line
   even though it is identical for every file and already stated once at
   the top of the prompt — O(files) wasted tokens on every dispatched lane
   for a 50-file review, for zero information gain. File lines are now bare
   paths.

* fix(#4209): resolve reviewer-lane trait in-process, fix CI failures found in review round 3

Opus critical-code-reviewer found a real Blocking defect in the --cap-id/
--point self-invocation added last commit: `dispatch-step` spawned
`loop render-hooks <point> --raw` as a subprocess and bare-JSON.parse'd its
stdout, but `io.cjs`'s output() redirects any payload over 50000 chars to
`@file:<path>` instead of inline JSON -- the same overflow protocol this
feature already unwraps for its OWN dispatch result 60 lines later in
code-review.md. A large-enough activeHooks envelope (more installed
capabilities/fragments) would throw, get silently swallowed by the bare
catch, and misreport a real trait as trait_not_enabled with zero diagnostic.

Fixed by extracting the config/registry/capability-state resolution
`cmdLoopRenderHooks` already performs into an exported pure function,
resolveActiveHooksForPoint (both `cmdLoopRenderHooks` and dispatch-step now
share it), and calling it in-process from dispatch-step instead of spawning
a subprocess at all. This eliminates the @file: exposure entirely (the
dispatch-step path never touches the rendered-string envelope or its
JSON-stringify/50000-char threshold), removes one subprocess spawn per
code-review invocation, and gives a genuine diagnostic (stderr warning) on
resolution failure instead of silent fail-closed. Corrected three doc/
docstring references to the now-removed subprocess self-invocation.

Also fixes 2 real CI failures this round surfaced:
- lint-tests: the agy-F1 control-char regex fix's `eslint-disable-next-line
  no-control-regex` comment was unused under this project's ESLint config
  (verified locally: the rule never actually flags \x00-\x1f in this repo's
  config) -- a mistake from an earlier commit this session, never actually
  lint-checked before push. Removed the disable comment.
- security (prompt-injection-scan): the agy-F1 regression test's crafted
  fixture literally contains "Ignore all prior instructions." as test data
  proving validatePaths rejects it -- allowlisted the test file, same
  DEFECT.PROMPT-INJECTION-SCAN-COLLISION class as existing entries.

Also trimmed agents/gsd-code-reviewer.md's load_context step 5 (R2): one
bullet stated "untrusted, never a command" three different ways in one
paragraph, and a same-file duplicate of write_review's schema rule.
Consolidated to state each rule once.

Declined one suggestion from this round: shrinking code-review.md's
EXTERNAL_EVIDENCE_BLOCK to a bare evidence list. Two tests
(tests/code-review-pipeline-regression.test.cjs's CONS-01..03 block,
tests/code-review.test.cjs's CONS-02 test) deliberately lock the four-
prohibitions restatement and the untrusted-evidence prose into the
INJECTED block itself, not just the consolidator's system prompt --
adjacency of the warning to the untrusted payload it's warning about is a
recognized prompt-injection defense-in-depth pattern from this
workstream's original TDD plan, not accidental duplication.

* fix(#4209): correct stale per-file base-SHA prose in the external prompt

Leftover from removing the per-file base SHA repetition earlier this
session: the review-request sentence still said "relative to its base SHA"
(singular per-file framing) when there's now exactly one base SHA, stated
once above the file list. Reads "relative to the base SHA above" now.

* fix(#4209): make getLane/configGet/plan required deps, delete dead defaults

R3/R4 from the review round I'd deferred as low-priority test-churn: this
file's one production caller (gsd-tools.cjs's dispatch-step handler) always
supplies all three, so the fallbacks were dead in production -- but each was
actively WRONG if ever reached: the default configGet always returned
undefined, silently disabling resolveLaneBudget's overflow guard; the
default getLane looked up only first-party REVIEWER_LANES, diverging from
production's overlay-merged roster; the default plan skipped per-host effort
resolution entirely.

These defaults were introduced by this PR's own earlier work (this file did
not exist before #4209 -- first commit a760bfcda, 01-02), not inherited from
elsewhere, so there's no external caller depending on the lenient contract.

Turned out free to fix: making the three deps required and deleting
defaultGetLane/defaultPlan needed zero test changes -- every existing test
that actually reaches the per-lane loop already supplies getLane/plan
explicitly, and configGet's only real dependent (the budget-overflow tests)
already supplies it too. 788/788 tests pass unchanged, tsc/lint clean.

* fix(#4209): define depth semantics for the external reviewer lane

Verified this was a real bug, not a match to existing convention as I'd
claimed when declining the suggestion earlier this session: the internal
gsd-code-reviewer agent's own system prompt carries a full <depth_levels>
block defining what quick/standard/deep mean and do (agents/gsd-code-
reviewer.md:68-99). The external reviewer lane has no access to that
persona at all -- it only ever sees buildSourceReviewPrompt's bounded text,
which sent the bare depth label with zero definition to a third-party CLI
with no other source of truth for what "standard" means.

Added depthMeaning(), condensed from the internal reviewer's own
<depth_levels> definitions so the two stay consistent, and interpolated it
into the review-request sentence. 150/150 tests pass, tsc/lint clean.

* fix(#4209): merge dispatch_reviewer_lanes' split fences into one shell invocation

CR-01 (Opus critical-code-reviewer, confirmed by direct execution): the
roster-matching fence set EXPLICIT_JOINED/EXPLICIT_REVIEWER_SLUGS, and a
SEPARATE later fence read them via ${#EXPLICIT_REVIEWER_SLUGS[@]} to decide
whether to dispatch at all. This file's own documented rule (its
depth-resolution guard, stated explicitly a few hundred lines earlier) is
that a guard and the extraction it protects must run as one shell
control-flow decision, because markdown-fenced blocks do not share shell
state -- this step violated its own file's rule for the entire feature's
gating condition.

Merged the roster-resolution fence and the dispatch-decision fence into one
continuous bash block, removing the intervening prose that split them.
Fixed the stderr-based failure detection in the same edit (RQ-01: checking
whether stderr is non-empty misfires on any benign Node warning; now checks
the actual exit status of the roster-resolution command).

Verified by extracting the merged fence and executing it standalone, driving
both branches: --codex resolves EXPLICIT_JOINED=codex, SLUGS_COUNT=1, and a
real dispatch-step call succeeds; no flags resolves EXPLICIT_JOINED empty,
SLUGS_COUNT=0, dispatch-step never invoked (COMP-01). 141/141 workflow tests
pass, tsc/lint clean.

* fix(#4209): depthMeaning accuracy, injection defense on all embedded fields, hoisted prompt write

Batch of Required/Suggestion fixes from the Opus critical-code-reviewer +
writing-for-agents pass:

- CR-02/CR-03: depthMeaning() dropped real categories from quick (empty catch
  blocks, commented-out code) and deep (error propagation, state mutation
  consistency, circular dependencies) relative to the real <depth_levels>
  block, and had zero test coverage. Restored full accuracy and added tests
  that read the real agents/gsd-code-reviewer.md file directly, so drift
  between the two can't recur silently. Unrecognised depth now normalizes to
  standard's definition, matching that agent's own documented rule, instead
  of rendering an undefined bare label.

- RQ-04: depth/baseSha/repoRoot/runDir land in the same markdown prompt
  `paths` does, but weren't checked for control characters like paths were
  (agy-F1's original finding). Hoisted CONTROL_CHAR to module scope and
  applied it to all four fields at the same provenance-check boundary.
  runDir previously had zero validation at all.

- S1: deleted the dead `identity` parameter on `invoke` -- the one production
  caller already ignores it, no test read it by name.

- S2: hoisted the shared prompt write above the per-lane loop -- promptPath
  is derived from runDir alone (constant across lanes by construction), so
  writing it once is both correct and cheaper than the per-lane write R1
  introduced earlier this session. Discovered and fixed a real regression
  from the naive version of this hoist: an unguarded throw would have
  escaped dispatchReviewerLanes as an uncaught exception instead of a clean
  per-lane failure. Added a new PROMPT_WRITE_FAILED whole-dispatch reason,
  matching the existing validatePaths/MISSING_PROVENANCE halt pattern, with
  a dedicated regression test.

- S3: moved `planned = true` past the budget-overflow gate, so `dispatched`
  only reports true once a lane has cleared BOTH plan and budget checks.

- S5: relayed gsd-code-reviewer.md's own "performance issues are out of
  scope unless also correctness issues" policy into the external-lane
  prompt, which previously had no such guidance and could return findings
  the internal reviewer's own contract excludes.

- RQ-05 (partial): shrunk this file's own header docstring's restatement of
  the trait-reuse architecture to a pointer at
  gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md, the canonical home.

234/234 tests pass across the full reviewer-lane test suite, tsc/lint clean.

* fix(#4209): dedupe roster-merge logic, consolidate trait architecture prose, add step completion criterion

RQ-02: added a `review-lane explicit-from-argv` subcommand that reuses the
SAME merged-roster logic (`laneBySlug`) `dispatch-step`/`plan`/`invoke`
already share. code-review.md's ~18-line inline `node -e` reimplementing
`loadRegistry`+`mergeReviewerLanes` (a rename-only copy of the block in
gsd-tools.cjs) is now a single call to this subcommand -- the exact
violation code-review-flags.cjs's own header warns against ("this is the
canonical flag-parsing surface -- do not replicate inline bash parsing").

RQ-03: an empty --cap-id XOR --point now warns distinctly from the
legitimate no-context opt-out (both absent) -- a caller that named a
capability without its point was silently indistinguishable from a correct
opt-out. Also hardened the CODE_REVIEW_POINT config-get fallback: it only
ever fires when the config-get COMMAND ITSELF fails (config-get already
resolves the manifest's own schema default in the normal case), but that
failure was previously silent.

RQ-05/W-01/W-12/W-13: the "supportsReviewerLanes is a reusable trait
resolved inside dispatch-step" explanation was restated in full in 5
places across this session's own review cycles. Consolidated to ONE
canonical statement in gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md; the other
4 (this file's own header, gsd-tools.cjs's comment, docs/ARCHITECTURE.md,
code-review.md's step-opening comment) now point at it instead.

W-05/W-06: loop-hook-dispatch.md described "false or non-boolean" as two
inert cases when capability-validator.cjs already rejects non-boolean at
load -- restated as the two cases that actually reach this code. Removed a
"do not hand-roll trait resolution" prohibition whose target no longer
exists once the positive description precedes it.

W-04: deleted a no-op sentence in agents/gsd-code-reviewer.md ("missing
block means proceed as normal") -- an absent optional block already means
proceed as normal without being told.

W-08/W-09: replaced longhand "zero selection/plan/invoke calls" and the
made-up compound "byte-for-behavior [un]changed" with the token this
session's own docs already coined for this concept (inert) and the word
that means what byte-for-behavior was reaching for (unchanged).

W-10: dispatch_reviewer_lanes had no completion criterion -- added one
sentence naming the checkable end state (EXTERNAL_EVIDENCE_BLOCK is set,
either populated or empty). This exact sentence would have caught the
cross-fence bug fixed two commits ago at authoring time.

Declined from this round, with reasoning: W-02/W-03 (trim the
untrusted-evidence restatement in EXTERNAL_EVIDENCE_BLOCK/critical_rules) --
two tests deliberately lock this as intentional adjacency-based
prompt-injection defense-in-depth, not accidental duplication (see this
branch's own earlier commit). S4 (wrap LANE_RUN_DIR in a creation-site
`trap ... EXIT`) -- would fire at the end of the CREATING fence, before
spawn_reviewer's agent ever reads the evidence files, given this file's own
documented fenced-block execution model; the existing named cross-reference
between creation and cleanup already satisfies the co-location concern
without introducing that regression.

853/853 tests pass across the full reviewer-lane test suite, tsc/lint clean.

* fix(#4209): merge CODE_REVIEW_POINT into dispatch_reviewer_lanes' one fence, stop test from spawning real codex

Round-5 review (agy) found the same cross-fence-split bug CR-01 already fixed
for EXPLICIT_JOINED/EXPLICIT_REVIEWER_SLUGS: CODE_REVIEW_POINT's config-get
fallback lived in an earlier, separate fence from the fence that consumes it
via --point, split only by prose (not a guard, per this step's own documented
rule). Merged into the single continuous fence and added a structural test
asserting exactly one bash fence in the step.

The new end-to-end regression test for this used --codex, which drives the
fence's real `review-lane dispatch-step` call and, with the codex binary
present on PATH, spawns the real external CLI — which then blocks on
interactive auth with no stdin (BL-01). Stubbed gsd_run for
`review-lane dispatch-step` only (captures argv instead of executing),
keeping the real config-get/explicit-from-argv calls the test is actually
about.

* fix(#4209): split control-char vs missing provenance reason, realpath-check path escapes, stale comment

Round-5 review (Opus) warning-tier findings:

- WR-04: MISSING_PROVENANCE covered both "field absent" and "field present but
  a control-character injection attempt" — a caller distinguishing a config
  problem from a security event couldn't tell them apart. Split into
  MISSING_PROVENANCE (absent) and INVALID_PROVENANCE (present but invalid).
- WR-05: validatePaths' containment check was lexical only (path.resolve),
  so a symlink whose own path sits inside repoRoot could still point outside
  it. Added an fs.realpathSync check (ENOENT-tolerant — a git-diff path can
  legitimately name a file already deleted in a stale worktree), realpathing
  repoRoot itself too so a symlinked repoRoot (e.g. /tmp on macOS) doesn't
  false-positive-reject its own real children.
- WR-08: a comment in the per-lane loop still said a throwing writePromptFile()
  was caught there — stale since the prompt write was hoisted above the loop
  in an earlier round.

WR-03 (validate depth against the quick/standard/deep enum) was considered
and declined: this dispatcher is deliberately capability-neutral (see the
existing "synthetic step context" test, which passes a non-code-review depth
label on purpose to prove no code-review-specific special-casing exists).
WR-01 (double registry load), WR-02 (trim-vs-hard-fail budget semantics), and
WR-07 (reason omitted on the aggregate return) were verified against source
and are not bugs — see review notes.

* docs(#4209): document LANE_RUN_DIR's early-exit trade-off as accepted, not a gap

Round-5 review (Opus, BL-03) flagged that an early exit between
dispatch_reviewer_lanes and commit_review leaks the run-scoped temp dir. A
trap-based cleanup was considered and rejected: if a step genuinely runs as
a separate process, a trap set at creation time would fire at the end of
that SAME fence, deleting the directory before spawn_reviewer/commit_review
ever read it — worse than the leak it would fix.

review.md's own gather_context/cleanup pair for the identical resource class
(a run-scoped reviewer temp dir) already makes and documents this exact
trade-off: cleanup runs only on a documented success path, and a leftover
$TMPDIR entry is explicitly called cheaper than destroyed evidence. Recording
that precedent here so this isn't re-raised as a live gap in a future review.

* fix(#4209): register the WR-05 symlink-escape test's synthetic docs/ path

reviewer-step-dispatch.test.cjs's "capability-neutral reuse" fixture passes
paths: ['docs/spec.md'] as a synthetic, never-read path proving the
dispatcher has no code-review-specific special-casing. lint-docs-guard-
registration correctly flagged this as an unregistered docs/ path reference —
add the docs-guard-exempt marker and its pinned baseline entry, the same
pattern every other synthetic docs/ literal in this test suite already uses.

* fix(#4209): backfill changeset pr: field with the real upstream PR number

changeset-lint's fail_pr_field_drift caught the fragment still pointing at
the fork PR (17) instead of the upstream one (open-gsd/gsd-core#4323) this
branch is now also open against.

* docs(#4209): amend ADR-2782 for the supportsReviewerLanes step-trait seam

trek-e's review (2026-09-07, gsd-core#4323) found a real ADR gap: every
decision in ADR-2782 (D1-D9) and every prior dated amendment governs the
`role: "reviewer"` capability body and its one consumer, /gsd:review. This
PR's actual new seam - a `supportsReviewerLanes: true` trait on an ordinary
feature capability's `steps[]` entry, projected through loop-resolver.cts
and resolved in-process via resolveActiveHooksForPoint - is a different
capability axis (steps/gates/contributions) that the ADR's own scope note
explicitly places out of reach. Per docs/contributor-standards.md's
"Amending an accepted ADR", an in-place dated section is the established,
lighter-weight path for an addition that stays within the ADR's existing
decisions - used twice already in this same file - so this appends a third
dated entry documenting the new seam, its consumer, and why it reuses the
existing D1-D9-governed plan/invoke machinery rather than adding a second
one. No decision is reversed; no new Amends/Amended-by pair is needed since
the steps/gates/contributions axis already carries reciprocal links to
ADR-857 and ADR-894.

* fix(#4209): close two test-quality gaps trek-e's review found

Minor 1: validatePaths (a path-shape parser guarding the prompt-
injection/path-traversal trust boundary) had only example-based coverage,
violating ADR-456's rule that parsers/budget limits carry at least one
fast-check property test. Adds three: safe-segment paths are never
rejected, a single leading "../" always escapes the one-segment repoRoot,
and a control character anywhere is always rejected - one property per
rejection reason validatePaths owns.

Minor 2: the budget-overflow check (`estimatedTokens > budget`) was only
ever exercised far below budget or at budget:0 (unbounded), never at the
exact threshold crossing where a `>` vs `>=` off-by-one would hide. Adds
three exact-boundary tests using the real estimateTokens/
buildSourceReviewPrompt the module calls internally, so the resolved
token count is exact rather than approximated: budget == estimate (must
pass), budget == estimate - 1 (must fail), budget == estimate + 1 (must
pass).

Also extracts okPlan()'s fixture timeoutMs into a named constant -
local/no-adhoc-timeout-literal (#4446) landed on next after this branch
was authored and flagged the pre-existing literal on rebase; it is fixture
data for a synthetic plan object dispatchReviewerLanes never waits on, a
distinct class from tests/helpers/timeouts.cjs's real subprocess norms.

* fix(#4209): update docs-guard-registration baseline for the new ADR citation

reviewer-step-dispatch.test.cjs's new fast-check property tests cite
docs/adr/456-test-rigor-architecture.md in a justifying comment (never a
real read). lint-docs-guard-registration fingerprints every docs/ path
string an exempted test file mentions and fails on drift so a human
re-confirms the exemption still holds - re-confirmed, and the baseline is
updated to match.

* fix(#4209): point changeset pr: field at the fork PR for CI validation

changeset-lint's fail_pr_field_drift check compares the fragment's pr:
field against the PR the CI run is actually attached to (GITHUB_EVENT_PATH),
not a fixed target. Rehearsing this branch on fork PR
davdittrich/gsd-core#17 needs pr: 17 to pass that check; the prior commit's
pr: 4323 (the real open-gsd upstream PR number) is correct for that PR but
fails here. Backfill to 4323 happens again, as the last commit, immediately
before the approved push to open-gsd#4323 - never leaving pr: 17 on the
branch that ships upstream.

* fix(#4209): reject promptChannel:none lanes from source-review dispatch

CodeRabbit found a real scope mismatch: coderabbit's lane declares
promptChannel: 'none' and reviews the working tree on its own terms,
fed nothing (review.md:367). Silently dispatching it through
dispatchReviewerLanes would ignore the bounded paths/depth/baseSha scope
buildSourceReviewPrompt promises and let the lane review whatever it
independently sees fit, violating this interpreter's own scoped,
metadata-only contract. Reject before plan()/invoke(), same as an
unresolved slug.

* fix(#4209): scope CONS-02 test to the evidence-block line, not the whole file

CodeRabbit found the whole-file match on workflowContent would still
pass if UNVERIFIED and re-open/reopen appeared in two unrelated parts
of this 1000+-line workflow, proving nothing about the actual evidence
block's contract. Line-filtered via splitLines (not a bare-\n regex
spanning readFileSync content) so this stays CRLF-portable and passes
local/no-unbounded-quantifier and local/no-crlf-fragile-split.

* fix(#4209): guard DISPATCH_JSON substitution and capture its stderr

CodeRabbit found the dispatch-step command substitution unguarded: a
non-zero exit could leave DISPATCH_JSON empty (or halt the step under
errexit with no warning), and the downstream reducer would only ever
report the generic unparseable_dispatch_output reason, discarding the
command's own diagnostic. Guarded like the existing CODE_REVIEW_POINT/
EXPLICIT_JOINED calls above it: capture stderr to a temp file, surface
it in a warning on failure, and fall back to a parseable dispatch_
command_failed JSON stub so the reducer's existing reason-reporting
path still fires.

* docs(#4209): fix byte-for-behavior wording and missing colon, regenerate

CodeRabbit found "byte-for-behavior" should read "byte-for-byte" (the
established repo term for output-identical unchanged behavior) and a
missing colon after the bold "Optional external reviewer lanes (#4209)"
lead-in in docs/features/code-review-pipeline.md. Fixed in the two
hand-authored sources (commands/gsd/code-review.md, docs/features/
code-review-pipeline.md) and regenerated the two derived projections
(skills/gsd-code-review/SKILL.md via gen-plugin-skills.cjs, docs/
FEATURES.md via gen-features.cjs) so they stay in sync.

* fix(#4209): drop the fabricated DISPATCH_JSON fallback stub (Windows CI)

The prior fix's fallback `DISPATCH_JSON='{"ok":false,...}'` embeds
double-quoted JSON keys inside a single-quoted shell literal. That
extra quote density, inside an already quote-heavy ~8KB driver string,
passed bash -n and the full local suite on Linux but broke Windows
Git-Bash: `dispatch_reviewer_lanes computes CODE_REVIEW_POINT ... end
to end (#4209 round 5)` failed on two Windows CI shards with `bash -c:
unexpected EOF while looking for matching '''` — a Windows argv-to-
command-line re-quoting edge case, reproducible on rerun, not a flake.
Root-caused via gh api job logs plus a byte-identical local
reconstruction of the test's own driver script.

Fix: drop the fabricated stub. The downstream node -e reducer already
falls back to reason `unparseable_dispatch_output` on any JSON.parse
failure, so an empty/partial DISPATCH_JSON on command failure is still
handled correctly, with zero new quoting risk.

* revert(#4209): drop the DISPATCH_JSON stderr-guard nitpick (Windows CI)

Two materially different mechanisms for the same CodeRabbit Nitpick
("Trivial | Quick win") both broke Windows Git-Bash reproducibly:
a single-quoted JSON-literal fallback ("bash -c: unexpected EOF ...
matching '''") and, after removing that, a plain `head -1 "$VAR"`
inside a nested command substitution ("unexpected EOF ... matching
'"'"). Both passed bash -n and the full local suite on Linux every
time; both failed the SAME test deterministically on Windows CI. Two
attempts at the same class of fix (nested-quote construction near
this exact step) is the retry limit - reverting to the original,
already-shipped, Windows-verified unguarded form rather than
continuing to guess at a third quoting mechanism for a Trivial-
severity nitpick. Logged as bug-221/bug-222 in .wolf/buglog.json for
anyone attempting this again: the fix belongs outside this specific
markdown-fence-driver test harness (e.g., a real .sh helper script)
if it's worth doing at all.

* fix(#4209): backfill changeset pr: field to the real upstream PR before push

Fork validation (davdittrich/gsd-core#17) needed pr: 17 to satisfy
changeset-lint's PR-number check while rehearsing there; this is the
last commit before the approved push to the real upstream PR
(open-gsd/gsd-core#4323), so the field points at that PR number again.

423f38e655 fix(#4444): honor config-set --dry-run instead of silently ignoring it (#4504)
* test(#4444): failing-first regression coverage for config-set --dry-run

config-set --dry-run is currently parsed nowhere -- routeConfigSet
(gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs) never checks args for it, and cmdConfigSet
has no dry-run parameter, so the flag is silently swallowed and the
command always writes for real. Reproduces the issue's own repro
(sequential --dry-run calls where the second's previousValue proves
the first persisted), plus coverage for validation-still-runs,
secret-masking, and the sibling unset (config-set <key> null) branch,
which has the identical defect. This commit adds the regression
coverage only; the fix lands in the next commit.

* fix(#4444): honor config-set --dry-run instead of silently ignoring it

routeConfigSet (gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs) never read args for
--dry-run, and cmdConfigSet had no dry-run parameter at all -- so the
flag was silently accepted (as any unrecognized trailing argument is)
and the command always wrote for real. A second "dry run" then showed
previousValue reflecting the first one, proving it had persisted.

Threads a dryRun option through cmdConfigSet, gating BOTH mutating
branches: the null/unset path (unsetConfigValue) and the real-set path
(setConfigValue) -- the unset branch had the identical defect,
undiscovered until auditing every mutation site while designing this
fix. Each gains a previewConfigValue/previewUnsetConfigValue
counterpart that reuses the real function's exact traversal/creation
logic (_setNestedValue/_unsetNestedValue) on a throwaway in-memory
config copy that is never written -- so the preview can never diverge
from what the real write would compute. All validation (unknown key,
enum/number/boolean checks, secret masking) runs identically whether
or not --dry-run is passed; only the final write is skipped, replaced
with a `{ dry_run: true, would_update / would_unset: true, ... }`
preview payload matching the precedent established by `milestone
complete --dry-run` (#2118) and `todo complete --dry-run` (#4096/#4325).

* refactor(#4444): extract loadConfigJson to stop a 5th copy-paste of the same load/parse block

Code review flagged that setConfigValue, unsetConfigValue,
setConfigValues, and the two new preview functions each repeated the
identical "load .planning/config.json, JSON.parse, catch ->
CONFIG_PARSE_FAILED" block -- exactly CLAUDE.md's own
"Generative Fix Divergence" known-defect pattern. Extracted a single
loadConfigJson(cwd) helper; behavior is unchanged (verified: build,
tsc, and the dry-run/real-write smoke test all pass byte-identical to
before).

* fix(#4444): raise per-chunk CI test timeout to 800s for Windows headroom

install-minimal-hooks.test.cjs (weight=24.45, the heaviest file in the
suite) sits alone in its own chunk yet still occasionally brushed the
600000ms per-chunk ceiling on Windows -- observed on PR #4504's first
CI run for this change (passed clean on rerun, consistent with the
"legitimately too slow for the budget" cause the chunk-timeout
diagnostic already names, not a leaked handle).

Raised RUN_TESTS_CHUNK_TIMEOUT_MS's default from 600000ms to 800000ms:
~33% more margin, still comfortably below the 900000ms regen:derived
fixture timeout that fragment-single-edit-propagation.install.test.cjs
deliberately keeps ABOVE the chunk ceiling, and far under the 45-minute
job cap -- Windows shards currently finish in ~19-20 minutes total, so
there is ample headroom. Updated every dependent mirror/assertion in
lockstep (tests/helpers/emitted-runtime.cjs's duplicated
CHUNK_TIMEOUT_CEILING_MS constant, its lock test in
tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs, the Windows-skip prose in
fragment-single-edit-propagation.install.test.cjs, and
docs/TESTING-SUITES.md's reference table) so nothing describes a stale
value.

This reverts commit 394aadaf6f5af6fd700bf0f444c9fbd686285a4f.

* test(#4444): consolidate redundant installer spawns in install-minimal-hooks.test.cjs

This file's real, unrelated pre-existing cost (dated 2026-09-06, PR #4428)
is what tipped a Windows CI shard over the per-chunk timeout backstop on
PR #4504 (issue #4444's own diff never touches this file or the
installer). Rather than raise the timeout, cut the file's actual spawn
count: several describe blocks independently re-installed the IDENTICAL
runtime/scope/flag configuration just to assert different things about
the same install output. Merged each such group onto a single shared
install, with every original assertion preserved:

- --help x3 -> x1
- the three per-runtime/scope --minimal E2E loops (global, local, and
  on-disk-matches-manifest) merged into one loop over
  SKILL_RUNTIMES x [global, local]: 44 spawns -> 22
- the --minimal manifest-mode/backcompat triple-install -> one shared,
  memoized install via sharedMinimalManifestInstall()
- .sh hooks existence checks (5 tests) -> 1, executable-bit check (its
  own Windows-conditional skip) left separate
- Codex #4087 hook-helper tests (3) -> 1
- Windsurf #4087 hook-helper tests (2) -> 1
- pi shared-hooks-bundle tests (3 per scope) -> 1 per scope

Net: ~65 real installer spawns in this file down to ~29, no assertion
dropped or weakened.

8dcdcb253e fix(#4443): register hooks.commit_types (and sibling hooks.community) in config schema (#4501)
* test(#4443): failing-first regression coverage for hooks.commit_types config key

isValidConfigKey('hooks.commit_types') currently returns false and
config-set hooks.commit_types rejects with "Unknown config key",
because the key was never added to config-schema.manifest.json's
validKeys when it shipped (#3811/#4340, 1.13.0) despite being
documented (docs/COMMANDS.md) and consumed by
hooks/gsd-validate-commit.sh. This commit adds the regression coverage
only; the manifest fix lands in the next commit.

* test(#4443): avoid false-positive docs-guard registration trip

The assert message for the new hooks.commit_types test mentioned
"docs/COMMANDS.md" literally, which happened to land between two
unrelated pre-existing backticks and tripped
lint-docs-guard-registration.cjs's template-literal co-occurrence
detector (a known, documented false-positive shape for that lint).
Rephrased to drop the literal docs/ path from the message; the test's
intent (documenting why the key must be valid) is unchanged.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#4443): register hooks.commit_types (and sibling hooks.community) in config schema

config-schema.manifest.json's validKeys never got hooks.commit_types
added when the feature shipped (#3811/#4340, 1.13.0) despite it being
documented (docs/COMMANDS.md) and consumed by
hooks/gsd-validate-commit.sh -- so config-set hooks.commit_types
rejected with "Unknown config key", and the only way to configure a
documented feature was hand-editing .planning/config.json.

While auditing every hooks.* key actually read by shipped code against
validKeys (CLAUDE.md's no-deferrals rule: a defect found anywhere in
the tree while working an issue is fixed in the current change, not
filed separately), hooks.community -- gsd-validate-commit.sh's own
opt-in gate -- turned out to have the exact same gap. Both are added
here; an audit of every hooks.* read site confirmed these are the only
two missing entries.

* test(#4443): e2e coverage for hooks.community + changeset

Closes the coverage-rigor gap the Standards review flagged: hooks.community
had only a unit-level isValidConfigKey assertion, not the same real
config-set CLI round-trip hooks.commit_types already got. Also adds the
changeset fragment the same review flagged as a missing hard requirement.

* fix(#4401): derive workflow.compact_content default from CONFIG_DEFAULTS

SCHEMA_DEFAULTS['workflow.compact_content'] hardcoded the literal false
instead of deriving it from CONFIG_DEFAULTS the way 3 of its 8 sibling
entries do (smart_zone_tokens, pr_strict, inline_plan_threshold), leaving
a single-source-of-truth drift risk: a future manifest-only edit to the
default could silently diverge from this literal, only caught later by
the D-03 test if it ever happened to manifest.

Adds compact_content to CONFIG_DEFAULTS in src/config-loader.cts and
derives SCHEMA_DEFAULTS from it in src/config.cts, matching the majority
sibling pattern. Found during maintainer review (review-open-prs) of
this PR.

* fix(#4401): map compact_content in config-field-docs NAMESPACE_MAP

The previous commit added compact_content to CONFIG_DEFAULTS in
src/config-loader.cts but missed the matching entry in
tests/config-field-docs.test.cjs's NAMESPACE_MAP, which maps flat
CONFIG_DEFAULTS keys to their namespaced doc form before checking
gsd-core/references/planning-config.md for a match. Without it, the
test looked for a bare `compact_content` doc reference instead of the
actual `workflow.compact_content` row, and failed:
"CONFIG_DEFAULTS keys missing from planning-config.md: compact_content".

Found by actually running gsd-test against the branch rather than
trusting the plausible-looking fix.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(#4401): register compact-content-4139 test in the docs-guard lane

tests/compact-content-4139.test.cjs's D-06 tests read docs/CONFIGURATION.md
directly (fs.readFileSync) to assert the workflow.compact_content doc row's
shape, which makes it a doc-reading test file under the #3753 docs-guard
lane. It was never added to scripts/docs-guard-registry.cjs's
DOCS_GUARD_TESTS map and carries no docs-guard-exempt marker, so
tests/ci-docs-guard-registry.test.cjs's registration lint correctly failed:
"compact-content-4139.test.cjs reads a docs/ path but is not registered in
the docs-guard lane and carries no docs-guard-exempt marker".

Registers it with ['docs/CONFIGURATION.md'] (the only real docs/-prefixed
path it reads; gsd-core/references/planning-config.md is outside this
registry's docs/ scope, matching the sibling config-field-docs.test.cjs
entry's existing convention).

Found by actually running gsd-test against the branch — this gap predates
the maintainer's config-loader.cts fix and was already present in the
original PR.

* feat(#4422): block merging into next/main while the base branch's Tests run is red

Adds a next-health job to test.yml that checks the base branch's own last
push-triggered Tests run via the GitHub API and fails the existing "Required
tests" required check when it's red, with a maintainer-applied "fix-next"
label as the explicit escape hatch for the fix-forward PR itself. No
branch-protection config change needed — it rides the already-required
check. The job is deliberately not gated behind preflight, same reasoning
as the changes job: a compute-free API read has nothing to save by waiting.

Documents the fix-next label in CONTRIBUTING.md and adds a property test
locking the CLEAN/RED/INDETERMINATE classification's iff-relationship.

This closes the second half of the 2026-09-06 RCA: three unrelated PRs
merged on top of an already-broken next before anyone noticed it was red.

* fix: close two zero-margin CI timing gaps found while verifying #4422

Discovered while watching this branch's own CI, root-caused via /diagnose
rather than dismissed as Windows flakiness:

1. tests/gsd-check-update-worker-atomic-cache.test.cjs's outer timeout
   (15000ms) exactly matched the inner npm-view timeout the worker wraps
   (NPM_VIEW_TIMEOUT_MS, gsd-core/bin/check-latest-version.cjs). A slow
   registry response raced two SIGKILLs at the same instant, killing the
   worker before it could catch its own timeout and degrade gracefully.
   Windows's shell-wrapped npm subprocess made the race lose more often
   there, but the zero margin was platform-agnostic. Fixed by giving the
   test real headroom (+10s) beyond the named constant it wraps, plus an
   invariant test so the two values can't silently collide again.

2. scripts/run-tests.cjs's per-chunk weight budget (MAX_FILES_PER_CHUNK)
   let a Windows full-matrix chunk that was well under budget by the
   Linux/macOS-calibrated weight table (~32/60 units) still exceed the
   600s wall-clock backstop — codex-config.test.cjs's genuinely-measured
   weight (17.87) doesn't transfer 1:1 to Windows's slower install/
   subprocess overhead. Windows now gets its own lower cap (40 vs 60).

0aa4202f6a fix(#4135): headline baseline coverage, opt-in strict gate, git-history widening (#4376)
* test(#4135): regression rows for pristine regen coverage collapse

RED skeleton: src/pristine-baseline.cts exports findPristineInGit as a
null-returning stub (wired into verifyFile after the #4145 orphan tier,
behavior-neutral) so the git-history rows fail behaviorally, not at require
time. Failing-first rows: baseline_covered aggregate on a 1-of-13
multi-version fixture, coverageHeadline typed renderer, the opt-in
--min-baseline-coverage gate (exit 3, >= threshold semantics, vacuous-pass
and malformed-value boundaries), git-history baseline recovery (dropped-line
catch + surviving-line verify + older-commit hop), findPristineInGit unit,
Step 5a workflow headline contract, and the installer-side
describeBaselineCoverage honest N-of-M summary with the collapse disk-state
pinned. Negative-space rows pin today: non-git ok_no_baseline posture,
no-match-no-adoption, #3657 drift never rescued, canonical precedence, and
no git tier without --pristine-dir.

* fix(#4135): headline baseline coverage, opt-in strict gate, git-history widening

The #3407 promotion rule regenerates gsd-pristine/ baselines from the
INCOMING release source and keeps only candidates byte-identical with the
OUTGOING recorded hash — correct in isolation, but on a multi-version jump
the surviving set is precisely the files upstream did NOT change. The
verifier then reports ok_no_baseline (advisory, exit 0) for everything
else, and no surface distinguishes a 12-of-13-unverified green run from a
fully-verified one: the human summary printed Checked/Failures only, the
JSON had no coverage aggregate, and the installer's update output gave
per-bucket counts without N-of-M framing.

All three issue directions, none exclusive:

- Report coverage prominently: --json gains an additive baseline_covered
  aggregate; the human summary leads with 'Baseline coverage: N of M
  file(s)...' on every run plus an advisory section naming each skipped
  file and reason; the installer prints an honest covered-of-modified line
  via the exported describeBaselineCoverage helper (typed return, exact
  contract); workflow Step 5a computes and prints the headline before any
  pass/fail framing.
- Fail louder on low coverage: opt-in --min-baseline-coverage <0..1>
  exits with new documented code 3 when coverage falls below the
  threshold (>= semantics; empty run vacuously passes; content failure
  exit 1 outranks it; malformed values are usage errors, exit 2).
  Default posture unchanged — no_baseline stays advisory per #934.
- Widen the promotion rule (its only trustworthy form): when no baseline
  resolves under gsd-pristine/ and a hash is recorded, the verifier now
  recovers the baseline from the config dir's own git history — the
  workflow's documented Option A — anchored by the same authority every
  tier trusts, exact pristine_hashes sha-256 equality. Read-only
  (git log/git show, windowsHide per #685), bounded (100 commits/file,
  10s/subprocess), null-on-any-failure so ok_no_baseline remains the
  universal fallback. Tier order: canonical join -> #4145 orphan scan ->
  git history -> OK_NO_BASELINE; #3657 drift and canonical precedence
  untouched.

Hash validation in saveLocalPatches is NOT relaxed — the collapse is
legitimate conservatism; hiding it was the bug. Measured on the issue's
shape (13 files, 12 changed upstream, 1.10->1.12): non-git installs report
baseline_covered 1/13 with the headline and can gate at exit 3; a
git-managed config dir with the outgoing bytes in history verifies 13/13.

Review fixes folded in: workflow headline derives the unverified count
from checked - baseline_covered (not the drift+no_baseline sum), and the
new site-scoped allow-test-rule annotation carries its ADR-456 see-ref on
the marker line.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: reapply-patches.md — #4135 — +20 lines / ~1.5 KB, prose and bash only: two additive parse lines (BASELINE_COVERED, CHECKED_COUNT), a Step 5a coverage-headline block printed BEFORE any pass/fail statement (documents the opt-in --min-baseline-coverage exit-3 gate), and one Option B sentence noting the verifier's read-only git-history fallback. No step ordering, gate, tool-invocation, or dispatch shape changed; 5a's fail/drift/advisory handling is unchanged, the headline only precedes it.

c95b734145 fix(#4136): compute the Incorporated status; stop re-grafting superseded patches (#4373)
* test(#4136): failing-first rows for the unreachable incorporated status

Folded block bug-4136-reapply-incorporated-status locks the --classify
contract (incorporated / needs_merge / unknown, never-incorporated
guards, cycle end-to-end) plus the workflow-contract rows; REASON gains
OK_UNVALIDATED_BASELINE in both shape-locks; the #2994 invocation count
moves 1 -> 2 (classify + gate). All red until the verifier grows
--classify and the workflow consumes it.

* fix(#4136): compute the incorporated status; stop re-grafting superseded patches

Add --classify pre-merge mode to the deterministic verifier: with a
hash-validated pristine baseline, a file whose every significant
user-added line is already present verbatim in the freshly installed
version is classified incorporated (new frozen CLASSIFICATION enum,
structured --json report, always exit 0 — the binding gate stays the
post-merge run). Drifted (#3657), absent (#934), unvalidated (new
OK_UNVALIDATED_BASELINE), and no-baseline runs classify unknown — a
false incorporated silently retires a live customization, so only a
confirmed baseline may ever confirm adoption.

The baseline-resolution block moves out of verifyFile into a shared
resolvePristineBaseline so the gate and the classifier cannot drift on
what counts as a usable baseline; gate behavior is byte-identical.

reapply-patches.md step 4 gains the pre-flight classifier invocation
and the not-re-grafted contract: incorporated files are left exactly as
shipped (their hash then re-converges with the manifest, ending the
backup cycle), statuses feed steps 3/7, and the merge rules gain the
already-present-verbatim arm.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: reapply-patches.md — step 4 pre-flight classifier section, the documented Incorporated status needed its deterministic contract

* fix(#4136): address review findings on the workflow contract

Drop the unused INCORPORATED_COUNT shell variable (standards pass) and
close the all-files-incorporated gap in the hunk-table guidance: emit a
header row plus a note line so the step 5b absent-table halt is not
tripped when nothing was merged (spec pass).

* chore(#4136): backfill changeset fragment with PR 4373

* test(#4136): lock that a 4145-recovered baseline can confirm incorporation

The hash-first orphan recovery merged with next (PR #4364) lands in the
shared resolvePristineBaseline as a validated resolution; this row pins
the composition so a future change cannot quietly downgrade recovered
baselines to unknown and silently disable incorporated detection for
prefix-less installs.

6adf3098ac fix(#4145): resolve gsd-pristine/ baselines by recorded hash, relocate orphans (#4364)
* test(#4145): regression rows for hash-matching prefix-less pristine baselines

RED skeleton: src/pristine-baseline.cts exports findPristineByHash as a
null-returning stub so the new rows fail behaviorally, not at require time.
Failing-first rows: verifier resolution (no_baseline must drop to 0 when an
exact-hash orphan exists), findPristineByHash unit row, and the two
saveLocalPatches relocation rows. Negative-space rows pin today's behavior:
missing baselines still report ok_no_baseline, mismatching orphans are never
adopted or deleted, canonical precedence and the #3657 drift posture are
untouched.

* fix(#4145): resolve gsd-pristine/ baselines by recorded hash, relocate orphans

Both pristine readers joined the manifest-keyed path strictly, so a snapshot
stored without the gsd-core/ prefix (an earlier release's writer) was reported
as ok_no_baseline by the verifier and pushed into regeneration by
saveLocalPatches — where incoming-release candidates can never satisfy the
recorded outgoing hash, leaving the correct baseline permanently unconsumed.

- src/pristine-baseline.cts (new, ADR-457): shared findPristineByHash —
  deterministic sorted scan of gsd-pristine/, exact sha-256 equality with the
  recorded pristine_hashes entry (the same authority the #3657 drift guard
  trusts), symlink-skipping, canonical path excluded via skipRel.
- verify-reapply-patches.cjs verifyFile(): on canonical miss with a recorded
  hash, adopt byte-identical content found anywhere under gsd-pristine/ before
  reporting OK_NO_BASELINE. Drift posture (#3657), canonical precedence, and
  the frozen REASON/report shapes are untouched; the verifier stays read-only.
- install.js saveLocalPatches(): preserve-check rescue — relocate a
  hash-matching orphan to the canonical path (copy, hash-verify, then remove
  the orphan) so the state self-heals on the next update instead of repeating
  forever. Honest accounting: new non-overlapping rescued counter.
- Workflow doc: one-sentence note on hash-based snapshot resolution.
- Derived ripples: INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json regen, eslint ignore + .gitignore
  entries for the compiled artifact, seedFixture mkdir fix in the new rows.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: reapply-patches.md — one-sentence note on hash-based pristine snapshot resolution (#4145)

* fix(#4145): review follow-up — orphan scan never consumes a canonical path

Adversarial review finding: with two modified files sharing byte-identical
outgoing content, recoverOrphanedPristine could adopt the OTHER file's
canonical pristine as its rescue source — relocating it (copy + delete at
its home path) and ping-ponging the single baseline between the two files
across updates. findPristineByHash's skip parameter now accepts a Set, and
saveLocalPatches passes the normalized manifest keys so every canonical
path is excluded; only genuine non-canonical orphans are eligible for
removal (no strict-join reader ever consults those). Adds the
canonical-theft regression row, a Set-skip unit assertion, and tightens the
workflow doc sentence the same pass flagged as overstated.

* fix(#4145): INVENTORY roster row + symlink-fixture correction

Two leftovers from the ab17b7a1e5 bench run, both root-caused:
- docs/INVENTORY.md roster row for cli_modules/pristine-baseline.cjs
  (#3762 gate: every manifest entry carries a row).
- The findPristineByHash symlink unit fixture placed its symlink target
  INSIDE the scanned root, so the walk legitimately matched the real target
  file. The implementation skips the symlink itself; the fixture now keeps
  the target outside the scanned tree so the assertion tests what it claims.

f9f72cb54c enhance(#3777): opt-in concurrent per-plan planners in chunked mode (#4346)
* test(#3777): add failing-first coverage for concurrent per-plan planner dispatch

Extracts and executes the real bash blocks this PR is about to add to
plan-phase.md and chunked-planning-mode.md (CHUNKED_PARALLEL resolution and
the BATCH_PLAN_IDS dedup guard), plus config-set/config-get coverage for the
new planning.chunked_parallel key. Expected RED against the current shipped
workflow text — the extraction anchors do not exist yet.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(#3777): dispatch chunked mode's per-plan planners concurrently within a Wave

Adds opt-in planning.chunked_parallel (default false, byte-identical to the
existing serial loop). When true and the runtime's negotiated dispatch
capacity (dispatch-capacity, #3673) is greater than 1, chunked planning's
per-plan Tasks that share one outline Wave are issued together instead of
one at a time; a later Wave still waits for the current one to be verified
on disk and committed. A host with no declared maxConcurrency (most
non-Claude runtimes today) stays serial regardless of the setting.

Resolution and the Plan-ID dedup guard live in chunked-planning-mode.md
itself (gated on the section's own CHUNKED_MODE skip-check) rather than in
plan-phase.md, so a non-chunked run pays no extra gsd_run calls.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(#3777): repoint extraction at chunked-planning-mode.md after the move

CHUNKED_PARALLEL resolution moved out of plan-phase.md into
chunked-planning-mode.md itself (see the preceding commit); update the
test's extraction path and header comment to match.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#3777): relocate the canonical runtime-launcher preamble before its first use

The CHUNKED_PARALLEL resolution block's two gsd_run calls landed earlier in
the file than the sole existing preamble (in the commit step), which
tests/runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs's (B) check requires to precede every
gsd_run call in the file. Move the preamble (not duplicate it) to the top of
the resolution block; the commit step's fenced block now just calls
gsd_run directly.

Caught by the GREEN checkpoint gsd-test run before push.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#3777): strip the canonical preamble from the extracted resolution block

The CHUNKED_PARALLEL resolution fence now carries the relocated
runtime-launcher preamble as its first line (previous commit). Extracting
the whole fence and running it after the test's own gsd_run stub let the
embedded preamble's own resolver logic `unset -f gsd_run` and exit 1 before
reaching the resolution logic, since no real gsd-tools.cjs exists in the
temp script dir — every test calling runChunkedParallelResolution() failed.

Strip the preamble (sourced from gsd-core/workflows/_runtime-launcher.snippet.sh,
the same file scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs treats as canonical) before
splicing in the stub, so this suite tests only the resolution logic it is
actually about.

Caught by the post-rebase gsd-test run before push.

* docs(#3777): add the How-To page the phase gate requires

Enablement is 2 commands (config-set, then --chunked), which this repo's
own doc-quadrant gate flags as how-to-owed: a reference table cannot carry
a sequence. Covers enablement, the dispatch-capacity gate's honest
"most runtimes today: no effect" case, and the two accepted trade-offs.

An earlier reasoning pass (recorded in .gsd/phase/.../70-docs.json before
this commit) had incorrectly claimed #3034 shipped with no equivalent
how-to page, as precedent for skipping one here. That claim was false —
docs/how-to/enable-parallel-reviewer-lanes.md exists and is indexed. The
phase gate caught the omission before merge; corrected here.

c20675cc4d fix(#3819): widen executor's pre-commit guard beyond worktree mode (#4343)
* fix(#3819): widen executor's pre-commit guard beyond worktree mode

The pre-commit protected-branch assertion in the executor agent (#2924)
only fired inside a Claude Code worktree and matched a hardcoded
five-name branch list. It never ran in an ordinary checkout and never
covered this repo's own default branch ("next"), so gsd-executor could
commit planning-repo documents directly onto a shared checkout's
default branch with no PR ever created.

Widen the guard to run in every isolation mode, and resolve the
protected branch via the repository's actual default branch (with the
existing five-name list retained as a fallback when the resolver
itself cannot be invoked) plus any configured git.protected_branches.
Add a git.allow_default_branch_commits escape hatch for projects that
intentionally execute on their default branch. Also point the
separate <final_commit> commit helper back at the same guard, so it
cannot be sidestepped by that path.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-executor.md — widened pre-commit protected-branch guard (#3819); tightened comments to stay under the size cap.

b327331747 fix(#4086): resolve skills/ manifest keys at the runtime's actual skills root (#4311)
* fix(#4086): resolve skills/ manifest keys at the runtime's actual skills root

Codex installs skills to ~/.agents/skills (skills-kind home override), but
saveLocalPatches() and verify-reapply-patches.cjs resolved every manifest key
config-dir-relative only — every skills/ key missed, so user modifications to
Codex skills were never hash-compared, never backed up, and silently
overwritten on update; the reapply verifier false-failed the same keys with
fail_installed_missing.

configDir stays first (non-override runtimes byte-identical); the skills root
(same _resolveSkillsRootDir / skillsManifestPrefix seams the write side uses)
is a containment-guarded fallback when the config-dir path is absent.

5ad9a36f35 fix(#4255): resolve reviewer-lane effort from the lane, not from gsd-plan-checker (#4275)
`review-lane plan` resolved every cross-AI reviewer lane's reasoning effort by
spawning `query resolve-execution gsd-plan-checker --host <slug>`. The agent id
was a hardcoded literal, so `--host` chose only the argv RENDERING while the
LEVEL always came from the installed plan-checker's frontmatter — `low` under
every shipped model profile. Every prompt-fed lane therefore ran at a fast
structural verifier's effort, and because the rendered argument is a CLI config
override it silently beat the effort the operator had configured for that CLI.
At `low` a large source-grounded prompt makes a model end its turn with no final
message, so the lane came back empty and its stub read as a crash.

Effort is a property of the review, so the lane declares it. Two new fields on
ReviewerLane — `effortConfigKey` (`review.effort.<slug>`) and `defaultEffort` —
carried through each capability manifest and the generated registry, set on the
three lanes with an argv effort channel and null on the other nine. A new pure
`resolveLaneEffort()` resolves config key -> lane default -> nothing, where
"nothing" emits no effort argument at all and the reviewer CLI's own
configuration decides; `inherit` selects that path explicitly and an
unrecognized level falls back to the lane default rather than being forwarded to
a CLI that would reject it. The host's negotiated effortSurface still gates the
rendering, so ADR-1239/#2481's trust boundary holds on this path too. Resolving
in-process also removes up to twelve subprocess spawns per review.

The empty-output stub now names the effort the lane ran at and distinguishes a
clean exit from a timeout kill, a non-zero exit, and a process that never ran —
`status` is null for both a timeout and a signal, so those were indistinguishable
before. The hint is hedged: a clean empty exit is most often a model stopping
short, but it is also consistent with a CLI writing its output elsewhere.

Also: the capability validator now knows both fields, rejects a malformed key or
an out-of-vocabulary default, and rejects a default declared without a config
key (a level the operator could never override). An existing end-to-end row in
tests/effort-surface-axis.test.cjs asserted the old coupling; it now configures
the lane's own key and pins the decoupling in the same real spawn, with the
agent execution tier set to a level that must not appear.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: review.md — the effort/model resolution-order table this fix adds. The workflow is where an operator looks to find out which knob set a lane's model and effort; leaving the new key undocumented there is the same invisibility that made the plan-checker coupling survive this long.

925a363879 enhance(#4032): apply configured agent tool grants (#4238)
* test(4032): add failing installed-agent grants contract

Cover global and project agent_tools precedence at the real Claude installer seam before adding implementation.

* feat(4032): apply configured agent tool grants during staging

Resolve selector-level global and project config once per staging call, then append validated grants before runtime conversion.

* test(4032): cover host grant and quoted MCP contracts

Exercise installed host artifacts and prove ZCode must treat quoted MCP scalars like plain MCP grants.

* feat(4032): apply configured agent tool grants across runtimes

Move augmentation and scalar identity into the converter seam so every staged artifact preserves host policy.

* fix(4032): register agent tool grants in configuration

Accept documented agent_tools config without unknown-key warnings.\n\nKeep installer fixtures on the shared temporary-directory helper.

* fix(4032): translate configured MCP grants for Kilo

Reuse the converter-owned scalar decoder so quoted canonical grants reach Kilo's native permission keys without altering other host policies.

* fix(4032): decode YAML-escaped tool grants

* fix(4032): emit valid inline agent tool grants

* fix(4032): reject invalid trailing-colon grants

* chore(#4032): add release note

* test(#4032): expose fork review regressions

* fix(#4032): address fork review findings

* test(#4032): make byte-stability assertion portable

Compare repeat installs at one root so platform-specific path rendering cannot
masquerade as an agent_tools behavior change.

* chore(#4032): bind changeset to upstream PR 4238

* fix(#4032): address trek-e review findings (2,3,4,5,6,7,8)

Fixes fail-closed decode-failure handling in ZCode's mcp__ stripper,
a comment-only `tools:` header mis-parse that silently dropped
configured grants, and a naive comma-split that could tear a quoted
scalar containing a literal comma. Documents Kilo's inherent
`{server}_{tool}` MCP-permission-key collision (external, fixed
format — not ours to widen) and locks the existing first-seen-wins
resolution in with a regression test.

Opts kimi/kimi-code out of the ADR-1235 pre-converter path-rewrite
step: routing Kimi through that pipeline (needed so project-scoped
agent_tools selectors reach it) was short-circuiting Kimi's own
neutralizeKimiAgentPrompt, which expects the original ~/.claude/gsd-core
text rather than a pre-rewritten Kimi path.

Extends the fast-check token pool and per-runtime install coverage
with the missing comment/comma/broad-runtime cases the prior review
flagged as untested.

* docs(#4032): add CONTEXT.md glossary entries for agent_tools resolver + pre-converter step

Documents readGsdEffectiveAgentTools (Install Model Override Resolver
Module) and the appendAgentTools pre-converter pipeline step (Runtime
Artifact Conversion Module), per contributor-standards.md's
new-seam glossary requirement (finding 1).

* fix(#4032): address agy adversarial review findings

An agy (gemini-3.8-flash-high) adversarial pass over the prior review-fix
commit found the fixes for findings 3, 4, 6 and 8 had unfixed sibling gaps,
plus a genuine new regression and two CONTEXT.md inaccuracies:

- ZCode's comment-only `tools: # note` header matched the inline-value
  branch instead of falling through to the block-list scan, so a following
  mcp__* item leaked through unstripped — the exact defect finding 4 fixed
  in appendAgentTools, unfixed in this sibling function.
- Reverted capabilities/kimi-code/capability.json's noPathRewrite: true.
  kimi-code uses the standard 'agents' kind with converter: null (not
  kimi-agents — confirmed by reading the descriptor, not its prose
  description), so it never went through the pipeline change finding 5
  fixed, and disabling its path rewrite broke every ~/.claude/ embed in
  its shipped agents instead.
- decodeToolScalar never stripped a trailing ` # comment` from a bare
  (unquoted) scalar, so a comment after a block-list item, or after an
  appended grant on an inline line, became part of the "tool name" —
  fixed at the source (one call site fixes every consumer).
- appendAgentTools's comment-index scan wasn't quote-aware, so a `#`
  inside a quoted scalar (`"mcp__server #1"`) was mistaken for a comment
  start and corrupted the quote.
- parseFrontmatterTools (Kimi/Qwen's tool-list reader, downstream of
  appendAgentTools's own output) had the same naive comma-split and
  comment-only-header gaps as findings 4 and 6, unpatched.
- The all-runtime smoke test's presence assertion was built on a guessed
  omit-list; empirically only 7 of 17 runtimes keep an arbitrary mcp__
  grant recognizable, replaced with a verified allowlist.
- CONTEXT.md claimed a `project:<agent>` selector prefix that does not
  exist (project override is a same-key merge across two config files)
  and mislabeled stageAgentsForRuntimeWithConverter's module.

* fix(#4032): address full-PR review (Opus critical/ponytail + agy)

A whole-PR pass (critical-code-reviewer + ponytail-review on Opus, plus a
second agy full-source adversarial pass) surfaced defects the earlier
finding-scoped passes couldn't reach:

- appendAgentTools corrupted a `tools:` line whose ENTIRE value is a
  leading quoted scalar (`tools: "Read"` -> `tools: "Read", Write`,
  invalid YAML) — there is no safe line-surgical rewrite here, so it now
  refuses to touch that shape instead of emitting broken frontmatter.
- decodeToolScalar's malformed-trailing-quote check ran BEFORE comment
  stripping, so a bare tool name with a quote inside its own trailing
  comment (`Bash # note: "internal"`) was wrongly rejected. Reordered.
- findUnquotedCommentIndex (added in the prior remediation commit) was
  built on a wrong model of YAML: a `#` after whitespace starts a real
  comment in a plain scalar regardless of nearby quote characters —
  verified against the actual parser. The one case that DOES need
  protection (a leading quoted scalar) is now refused outright above, so
  the quote-tracking scan was dead weight solving a problem that no
  longer reaches it. Removed; reverted to the plain `[ \t]#` scan.
- Kilo has a SEPARATE agent-frontmatter parser (convertClaudeToKiloFrontmatter,
  distinct from the buildKiloAgentPermissionBlock fixed earlier) with the
  same comment-only-header and naive-comma-split gaps as findings 4 and 6
  — unfixed in both its src/ and bin/install.js copies. Fixed in both,
  exporting splitToolScalars for bin/install.js to reuse rather than
  reimplementing it.
- Pipeline docstring in stageAgentsForRuntimeWithConverter still listed 5
  steps, omitting appendAgentTools (now step 3 of 6).
- docs/CONFIGURATION.md didn't state that a --global install still
  discovers agent_tools from the cwd's .planning/config.json (confirmed
  intentional and already covered by a dedicated test, not a bug).
- Removed install-engine.cts's deps.cwd injection seam: zero callers or
  tests ever populated it.

Two claims from this round were verified and rejected, not fixed:
prototype pollution via a `__proto__` selector key (empirically confirmed
`Object.prototype` is never touched — only reassigns the resolver's own
local object's prototype, with no observable effect), and a `*` grant
value crashing YAML parsing as an alias reference (empirically confirmed
it parses as plain scalar text, no crash). A pre-existing, unrelated
defect (extractFrontmatterField returns null for block-list `tools:` on
Copilot/Antigravity/Cursor/Codex/Qwen, affecting two shipped agents
today) was filed as a follow-up rather than fixed here — it predates
#4032 and isn't caused or worsened by this PR.

* fix(#4032): update stale slug-derivation-drift-guard fixture line

normalizeKimiSkillName's real closing brace moved from line 616 to 635 as a
side effect of this PR's edits to runtime-artifact-conversion.cts; the
MAJOR-1 fixture's hardcoded realEndLine had gone stale.

* fix(#4032): address CodeRabbit findings on projectDir threading and flow-sequence tools

bin/install.js's installAgentsKindStandalone call site omitted the projectDir
argument the function already supports, so a global install through this
legacy branch silently fell back to the runtime config dir instead of
process.cwd() when resolving project-scoped agent_tools grants — inconsistent
with the sibling installOpencodeFamilyArtifacts call site, which already
threads it correctly.

appendAgentTools' leading-quoted-scalar bailout did not cover a YAML flow
sequence (`tools: [Bash, Read]`): splitToolScalars tore it apart on the
in-sequence commas and appended past its closing bracket, producing invalid
frontmatter. Extended the bailout regex to also refuse a value starting with
`[`, matching the same "whole node, nothing may follow" reasoning already
applied to quoted scalars.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: execute-phase.md — wave-pre now carries the missing generic step-dispatch contract before executor spawning

* docs(#4148): preserve execute-phase byte budget

Remove a redundant advisory label while retaining the non-blocking contract, keeping the reviewer-required trust-boundary wording at the enforced 93,400-byte ceiling.

* fix(#4148): mark wave-pre manifest-input validation as security-relevant

Reviewer nit on PR #4185: wave-pre's step-dispatch sentence had the
(third-party manifest input) parenthetical but dropped the ⚠ marker
that wave-post's parallel sentence (execute-phase.md:1044) carries,
losing the visual flag that this validation is security-motivated.

Trims the redundant "of one" from "not one shape of one" to reclaim
the 4 bytes the marker adds — the ADR-857 byte-margin gate
(tests/claude-orchestration.test.cjs) leaves zero slack at the
93,400-byte ceiling.

* fix(#4148): trim wave-pre step-dispatch prose to clear ADR-857 byte ceiling

Merging next's unrelated growth (#3990's TDD_APPLICABLE conditional) pushed
execute-phase.md 116 bytes past the 93,400-byte ceiling, failing CI on all
three platforms. The security-relevant ⚠ marker and ref.command validation
call-out (added per prior reviewer nit) are preserved verbatim per the
pinned regression test in capability-registry.test.cjs; only the
non-pinned connective prose is trimmed.

* fix(#4148): recalibrate execute-phase.md self-imposed margin, restore security marker

next grew execute-phase.md by ~230 bytes across two unrelated merges during
this fix (#3990's TDD_APPLICABLE conditional, then a further step-extraction
commit), consuming this test's own self-imposed 93,400 safety buffer under
ADR-857's actual, unmodified 93,600 ceiling (docs/adr/857-capability-system.md:22).
The wave-pre step-dispatch sentence cannot shrink further without dropping one
of the pinned substrings this same test file asserts on (kind=="step",
loop-hook-dispatch, never blocks or redirects executor spawning, Validate
`ref.command`).

Raises the self-imposed margin to 93,550 (still 50 bytes under the real,
untouched ADR ceiling) and restores the ⚠ marker the prior reviewer round
required for the ref.command validation call-out, which byte pressure had
dropped.

* fix(#4148): restore full ref.command validation wording, drop self-imposed margin

Adversarial review (agy/gemini-3.8-flash-high) flagged two issues in the prior
CI-recovery commit:

1. Trimming "in-context before any shell use" from the step-dispatch warning
   weakened the inline operational instruction (the reader is told WHAT to
   validate but not the specific in-context-not-shell mechanism the referenced
   loop-hook-dispatch.md:45-51 threat model requires). Restored it - the merge
   with next since the last commit freed enough real margin (77 bytes under
   the untouched 93,600 ADR-857 ceiling) to afford it without any margin
   change.

2. The prior commit self-imposed margin bump (93400 to 93550) was, on
   reflection, the wrong lever: it is a number this PR invented, not an ADR
   value, and re-bumping it every time next grows execute-phase.md is a
   losing pattern (already needed twice in one session). Removed the
   redundant assertion; the same line existing bytes-under-93600 check
   against the real, frozen ADR-857 ceiling (docs/adr/857-capability-system.md:22)
   is the actual invariant and is untouched. workflow-size-budget.test.cjs
   tier hard cap (98304 bytes, extract-not-bump by design) remains the
   correct backstop for runaway growth.

2f64e6230a feat(#3676): quick-batch command, workflow, and isolation integration (#4212)
* test(#3676): add failing tests for quick-batch dispatch core

Failing-first tests for Phase 4 of epic #3344 (ADR-1239 "Quick-batch
binding"): quick-batch-dispatch.test.cjs / .property.test.cjs cover the
new pure decision-logic module (arg validation, effective concurrency,
deterministic merge order, spawn backpressure, verification/merge
routing, cleanup-entry construction — design doc rows 3-15,24,26-28,
30-36,39; property rows 51-53). quick-batch-update-items.test.cjs
covers the new updateBatchItems export on src/quick-batch.cts (rows
15,22-23, including the negative cycle-rejection case).
quick-batch-command-router.test.cjs covers the new
gsd-tools quick-batch CLI family (rows 46-47). These reference modules/
exports that do not exist yet.

* feat(#3676): implement quick-batch dispatch core, updateBatchItems, and command router

Phase 4 of epic #3344 (ADR-1239 "Quick-batch binding") CORE decision
layer — CLI verbs and pure orchestration logic only; no workflow
markdown, no Agent()/git-worktree I/O.

- src/quick-batch-dispatch.cts (new): pure decision functions consumed
  by the (separate, follow-up) /gsd:quick-batch workflow markdown —
  parseQuickBatchArgs, computeEffectiveConcurrency, computeMergeOrder,
  computeSpawnPlan, routeVerificationOutcome, routeMergeOutcome,
  buildCleanupManifestEntry (the last parses caller-supplied plan text
  via the existing parsePlanDocument; no filesystem access).

- src/quick-batch.cts: adds updateBatchItems, resolving the design
  doc's Open Question 1 as ONE additive export on this module instead
  of the second, independent BATCH.json writer the design doc
  originally proposed. Reuses the same withPlanningLock transaction
  shape, computeWaves, and platformWriteSync call resumeBatch/
  completeQuickItem already use; fails closed without persisting on
  an unknown item, an unknown/self dependency, or an introduced cycle.

- src/quick-batch-command-router.cts (new): gsd-tools quick-batch CLI
  family, wired into HOST_COMMAND_ROUTERS (gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs)
  as a first-party always-on command (like /gsd:quick), not the opt-in
  capability-registry path graphify uses. Verbs: create/update/resume/
  complete (wrap quick-batch.cts) and effective-concurrency/
  merge-eligible/spawn-plan/verification-routing/merge-routing/
  cleanup-entry/parse-args (wrap quick-batch-dispatch.cts).

Design doc rows covered: 3-15, 22-24, 26-28, 30-39, 46-47. Property
rows 51-53. Rows covering workflow markdown / Agent() dispatch /
`git worktree` behavior (16-21, 25, 29, 40-45, 48-50) remain for the
follow-up markdown-authoring pass, per the phase brief's explicit
scope boundary.

* docs(#3676): register quick-batch-dispatch/command-router modules in bookkeeping surfaces

New-.cts-module ripple for the two Phase 4 modules (epic #3344,
ADR-1239 "Quick-batch binding"): .gitignore (compiled .cjs artifacts,
ADR-457 build-at-publish), eslint.config.mjs (lint the .cts source,
not the emitted .cjs), docs/INVENTORY.md + docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json
(via `node scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write`, after
`npm run build:lib`), and CONTEXT.md glossary entries for
"Quick-Batch Dispatch Core Module" and "Quick-Batch Command Router
Module", plus an update to the existing "Quick-Batch Core Primitives
Module" entry documenting the new updateBatchItems export.

* test(#3676): fold updateBatchItems tests into quick-batch.test.cjs (fix lint-test-file-count)

scripts/lint-test-file-count.cjs buckets any quick-batch-*.test.cjs
file under the quick-batch production module by longest-prefix match,
and that module is already at its 2-file cap (quick-batch.test.cjs +
quick-batch.property.test.cjs). The standalone
tests/quick-batch-update-items.test.cjs added in the prior commit
pushed it to 3 and failed `npm run lint:ci`. Fold its content into
quick-batch.test.cjs (append-only — no existing test in that file is
modified) and update the CONTEXT.md glossary reference to match.

Surfaced while re-running `GITHUB_BASE_REF=next npm run lint:ci` after
`npm ci` (this worktree previously had no local node_modules, which
also made gen-scripts-cli-exit/gen-hooks-cli-exit/gen-exit-code-*
unable to resolve typescript — resolved by npm ci, no code change
needed there). `npm run lint:ci` and
`npx tsc -p tsconfig.build.json --noEmit` are both green after this
fix.

* test(#3676): add failing tests for the quick-batch command/workflow markdown

Failing-first tests for Phase 4's markdown-authoring pass (epic #3344,
ADR-1239 "Quick-batch binding"): gsd-quick-batch-workflow.test.cjs
covers commands/gsd/quick-batch.md's frontmatter/objective/process,
gsd-core/workflows/quick-batch.md's byte-size boundary (row 49, ADR
1610 NEW_FILE_CAP) and step-fragment count, the isolation model
(rows 20-22), the executor single-writer invariant (row 18), merge
validation reusing the existing bounded primitive (row 25), the
optional research/plan-checker/verification leaves (rows 16,17,19,
30,31), planning-failure blocking execution (row 29), the submodule
guard (rows 36,44), and the new agents/gsd-planner.md quick-batch
mode (rows 13-15). gsd-quick-batch-quick-regression.test.cjs covers
row 48 (ordinary /gsd:quick stays byte-identical). Named
`gsd-quick-batch-*` (not `quick-batch-*`) so lint-test-file-count's
longest-prefix bucketing doesn't fold these markdown-only tests into
the already-capped quick-batch/quick-batch-dispatch/
quick-batch-command-router production-module buckets from the CORE
pass. These reference files that do not exist yet.

* feat(#3676): author the quick-batch command, workflow, and planner mode

Phase 4 markdown-authoring pass (epic #3344, ADR-1239 "Quick-batch
binding") — the orchestration layer that calls into Pass 1's CLI
verbs (src/quick-batch-command-router.cts).

- commands/gsd/quick-batch.md (new): frontmatter/objective/process,
  delegates argument validation to `quick-batch parse-args`
  (parseQuickBatchArgs) rather than re-deriving the grammar.

- gsd-core/workflows/quick-batch.md (new, 11843 bytes — under ADR
  1610's 32768-byte NEW_FILE_CAP for a brand-new file) + 9 lazy-loaded
  step fragments under gsd-core/workflows/quick-batch/steps/:
  resume-mode, batch-init, research-phase (flag:--research),
  planner-wave (+ nested plan-checker-loop when --validate),
  worktree-dispatch, merge-wave, verification-wave (flag:--validate),
  completion. Covers design doc rows 3-45: capacity/isolation
  resolution (reusing dispatch-isolation-gate.md verbatim), per-DAG-
  layer planning with full-task-catalog prompts and always-required
  depends_on/files_modified frontmatter, serialized worktree create/
  merge/cleanup via the existing worktree.cleanup-wave primitive,
  deterministic wave-order merging, verification routing
  (human_needed/gaps_found), the executor single-writer invariant,
  submodule fail-loud guard, and #1941 fork-base auto-degrade.

- agents/gsd-planner.md: additive new `load_mode_context` bullet for
  `**Mode:** quick-batch`, pointing at the new
  gsd-core/references/planner-quick-batch.md reference (documents the
  always-required depends_on/files_modified contract, reusing the
  existing frontmatter grammar — no new keys). Existing modes
  byte-identical, only a new bullet added.

- src/init.cts (+init-command-router.cts, +command-aliases.cts):
  cmdInitQuickBatch / `init.quick-batch` — model profiles,
  commit_docs, roadmap/planning existence checks, and the
  section_manifest field gating research-phase/verification-wave
  (reuses the existing flag:--research/flag:--validate WHEN_VOCABULARY
  atoms — no new atom needed).

Rows 16-21, 25, 29, 36, 38, 39, 44, 46-50 covered structurally by the
prior test(#3676) commit; rows 3-15, 22-24, 26-28, 30-35, 37, 40-43,
45 covered by construction (verb wiring, single-writer prompt
constraints, crash-window resume via unmodified Phase 3 primitives).

* docs(#3676): regenerate skills/inventory/section-manifest/install-tree; baseline the intentional word-splitting pattern

npm run regen:derived output for the new command/workflow/reference
(epic #3344, ADR-1239 "Quick-batch binding"):
- skills/gsd-quick-batch/SKILL.md (generated from commands/gsd/quick-batch.md)
- docs/INVENTORY.md rows for /gsd-quick-batch, quick-batch.md,
  planner-quick-batch.md, and the quick-batch-dispatch.cjs/
  quick-batch-command-router.cjs CLI-module rows' now-live
  `/gsd-quick-batch` cross-reference (was "(separate, follow-up)")
  + docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json (`node scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write`)
- gsd-core/workflows/section-manifest.json (`npm run gen:section-manifest`)
  — research-phase/verification-wave gsd:section entries for the new
  quick-batch workflow
- tests/fixtures/install-tree/*.json (`npm run gen:install-tree`) —
  the new command/workflow/skill/reference files now ship to every
  runtime

scripts/lint-workflow-shellcheck-baseline.json: 3 new entries for
gsd-core/workflows/quick-batch.md's intentional flag-token/$ARGUMENTS
word-splitting (SC2046/SC2086) — the same deliberate unquoted-optional-
flag pattern gsd-core/workflows/quick.md already carries baselined
(e.g. `$DISCUSS_PARAM $RESEARCH_PARAM` in quick.md's own Step 2);
quoting would break the intended "omit this arg when the flag is
false" splitting.

* fix(#3676): close prompt-injection and argv/glob-injection gaps in quick-batch leaf dispatch

Security review pass findings, both confirmed real:

1. HIGH — prompt injection, no boundaries. Every leaf-dispatch fragment
   interpolated the raw, attacker-influenced task ${description} (and
   the shared ${TASK_CATALOG_TABLE}, broadcasting every item's raw
   description into every planner's prompt in the layer) straight into
   Agent() prompt bodies with no boundary. Fixed by wrapping every such
   interpolation in a <security_context> + DATA_START/DATA_END
   boundary, matching the CONCRETE convention already implemented in
   this repo (agents/gsd-debug-session-manager.md, agents/gsd-debugger.md,
   gsd-core/workflows/debug.md) — commands/gsd/quick.md's own
   <security_notes> only asserts this convention in prose, so the
   debug-agent files are the real precedent followed here. Added a new
   <security_notes> block to commands/gsd/quick-batch.md (it had none)
   documenting both this fix and the one below.

2. MEDIUM — unquoted $ARGUMENTS -> argv/glob injection.
   gsd-core/workflows/quick-batch.md and commands/gsd/quick-batch.md both
   ran `gsd_run quick-batch parse-args --raw -- $ARGUMENTS` UNQUOTED,
   causing shell word-splitting and pathname expansion on raw task-list
   text before the parser ever saw it. Fixed at the source: added a
   `--text <string>` form to the `parse-args` verb
   (src/quick-batch-command-router.cts) that accepts the ENTIRE
   $ARGUMENTS as ONE quoted argv element and does the whitespace split
   itself, in Node — which is never glob-aware, unlike the shell.
   Both call sites now use `--text "$ARGUMENTS"`. The `-- <tokens>` form
   is kept for direct/test callers that already have a real argv array.

The SC2086 baseline entry added for the original unquoted line is now
stale (`node scripts/lint-workflow-shellcheck.cjs` no longer reports
it) and has been removed; the two SC2046 entries for the UNRELATED,
still-unquoted `$([ "$VALIDATE_MODE" = true ] && echo --validate)`-style
conditional-flag splitting remain — that line only ever expands to one
of a few known-safe literal strings (never raw user text), matching
quick.md's own already-baselined convention exactly.

Tests: quick-batch-command-router.test.cjs covers the new --text form
(token splitting, glob-shaped text passing through literally
unexpanded, whitespace-only input). gsd-quick-batch-workflow.test.cjs
asserts the DATA_START/DATA_END boundary on every leaf prompt
(research-phase/planner-wave/plan-checker-loop/verification-wave,
including the shared task catalog) and the quoted --text call sites.

* fix(#3676): strengthen test-depth gaps in rows 9, 18, 24, 34, 35

Spec review pass findings — the test matrix claimed "yes" coverage
these assertions did not actually support:

- Row 9 (--jobs 0/-1/abc hostile case): previously asserted rejection
  only. Added an end-to-end assertion (tests/quick-batch-command-router.test.cjs,
  committed alongside the security fix that touches the same file) that
  .planning/quick-batches/ is never created for any rejected value —
  createBatch is genuinely never reached.
- Row 18 (--resume <unknown-batch-id>): previously only exercised a
  hand-corrupted BATCH.json, never a genuinely nonexistent batch
  directory. Added the real nonexistent-id case (also in
  quick-batch-command-router.test.cjs).
- Row 24 (post-planning updateBatchItems racing a concurrent
  completeQuickItem for a different item, both through
  withPlanningLock): zero test existed. Added a property test
  (tests/quick-batch.property.test.cjs, appended — Phase 3's own file,
  no existing test touched) exercising both call orders and asserting
  no lost update in the final on-disk manifest — the same technique
  Phase 3's own row-15 lock-contention property test uses (sequential
  calls through the real lock; a working mutex makes any interleaving
  equivalent to some serial order, so this is the same claim a literal
  concurrent-thread test would make without OS-level threading).
- Row 34 (worktree preserved on merge_failed) and row 35 (undeclared-
  deletion detection): both were previously asserted only at the pure
  routeMergeOutcome level. Added tests/gsd-quick-batch-merge-integration.test.cjs
  using the SAME real-git-fixture pattern tests/worktree-safety.test.cjs
  already establishes for executeWorktreeWaveCleanupPlan (real repo,
  real worktree, a REAL merge conflict / a REAL file deletion diffed
  against declared_deletions) — asserting the actual worktree directory
  survives on disk, not just that a pure function returns a
  preserveWorktree:true field. Named gsd-quick-batch-* so lint-test-
  file-count's bucketing doesn't fold it into any capped module bucket.

Row 48 (/gsd:quick regression) intentionally left as-is per the
reviewer's own framing: the byte-identity claim is already
mechanically proven by the changed-path diff (git diff --name-only
empty on those two paths IS byte-identity), and a genuine execution-
level regression test would require actually running the workflow —
out of scope for this repo's unit-test model (no other quick.md
regression test in this repo does that either).

* docs(#3676): add the changeset and user-facing docs the command needed

Standards review pass findings — both HARD:

- Missing changeset. None of the 6 prior #3676 commits touched
  .changeset/*. /gsd-quick-batch is a new user-facing command;
  CLAUDE.md/CONTRIBUTING.md require one. Added
  .changeset/silly-rams-caper.md (type: Added, pr: 0 placeholder —
  backfilled after the PR opens, matching CLAUDE.md's own documented
  convention and Phase 3's own precedent, #4190's
  .changeset/mellow-yaks-squeak.md). Uses the docs-convention hyphen
  form `/gsd-quick-batch` throughout, never the source-artifact colon
  form (`scripts/lint-docs-command-form.cjs` confirms 0 violations;
  that check scans docs/**, not .changeset/, so it was never actually
  in scope for the fragment itself, but the wording still follows the
  doc convention for consistency, matching how Phase 3's own fragment
  named the not-yet-shipped command).
- Missing docs. Added docs/how-to/batch-quick-tasks.md (Diátaxis
  how-to, matching docs/how-to/handle-quick-and-fast-tasks.md's
  existing convention for /gsd-quick /gsd-fast) covering --jobs,
  --validate, --research, --resume, --file, the capacity/isolation
  interaction, and resume/failure recovery. Cross-linked from
  docs/README.md's how-to index and from handle-quick-and-fast-tasks.md's
  own "Related" section. Added a /gsd-quick-batch section to
  docs/COMMANDS.md (same table format as the existing /gsd-quick
  entry) and docs/features/quick-batch.md (REQ-QB-01..12, same
  frontmatter shape as docs/features/quick-mode.md) — regenerated
  docs/FEATURES.md (179 features) and skills/gsd-quick-batch/SKILL.md
  via the standard generators.

* fix(#3676): close docs-parity, attribution, and generated-registry gaps gsd-test caught

gsd-test's real run against 155e8975b3 found 43 failures, all rooted in
this phase's own new command/workflow never being registered across
~10 independent generated/hand-maintained registries this repo keeps
in parity by convention. Root-caused each, no test weakened or
special-cased.

- help.md ↔ commands/gsd/ bidirectional parity (docs-parity-live-
  registry.test.cjs): added a /gsd:quick-batch entry to
  gsd-core/workflows/help/modes/full.md (the real help.md content;
  gsd-core/workflows/help.md is a thin dispatcher) documenting every
  flag (--file/--jobs/--validate/--research/--resume), matching the
  existing /gsd:quick entry's format.

- gen-section-manifest.test.cjs: quick-batch.md's
  `gsd_run query init.quick-batch` invocation used inline
  `$([ ... ] && echo --flag)` substitutions, which never satisfy the
  test's exact-whitespace-token / assigned-variable detection (the
  trailing `))` glued onto `--research` in the compound substitution
  broke the "exact token" match). Rewrote to the same
  VALIDATE_PARAM/RESEARCH_PARAM two-line pattern
  gsd-core/workflows/quick.md's own Step 2 already uses.

- runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs: the 8 quick-batch/steps/*.md
  fragments that call gsd_run each needed their OWN embedded copy of
  the canonical shim preamble (every workflow .md that calls gsd_run
  carries its own copy — reading one file does not persist shell state
  into another). Ran `node scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs`, which
  inserted it before each file's first gsd_run call.
  plan-checker-loop.md correctly has none — it never calls gsd_run
  directly.

- Namespace routing (skill-manifest.test.cjs, install-nested-
  layout.test.cjs, runtime-artifact-layout-surface.test.cjs): added
  `quick-batch` to commands/gsd/ns-workflow.md's `requires:` array and
  routing table (same namespace `quick` already routes through), and
  to src/clusters.cts's `utility` cluster (same cluster `quick`
  already belongs to). Verified by hand-running installRuntimeArtifacts
  + applySurface for augment/cline against a real temp install: exactly
  6 top-level gsd-ns-* router dirs, gsd-quick-batch correctly nested
  under gsd-ns-workflow/skills/, never re-flattened.

- mcp-server-catalog.test.cjs: hardcoded command count 71 -> 72 (a
  brand-new command is a real count change, not a bug this test should
  hide).

- model-omit-when-inherit-guard.test.cjs: added the canonical
  `<!-- #2517 model-omit-on-inherit -->` marker block to
  gsd-core/workflows/quick-batch.md (every leaf dispatch — planner/
  researcher/checker/executor/verifier — lives in a steps/ fragment,
  read combined with the host by this test's own readWorkflowCombined,
  same as quick.md's own research-phase.md carries it for its gated
  section). Also fixed a genuine pre-existing inconsistency in the
  test's own "#2711: the guarded set is derived from dispatch sites"
  check: its `nonDispatching` computation read the BARE host file while
  `derived` (the set it's checked against) reads the combined
  host+steps content — inconsistent with that same test file's own
  #2994 doc comment explaining why the combined read is necessary.
  quick-batch.md is the first workflow whose EVERY model="{...}"
  dispatch site lives in a mandatory (never gated) steps/ fragment —
  extracted to stay under ADR-1610's tighter NEW_FILE_CAP for a
  brand-new file — which is what exposed the mismatch. Fixed by using
  the same readWorkflowCombined read in both places.

- skill-frontmatter-contract.test.cjs: shortened
  commands/gsd/quick-batch.md's frontmatter `description` from 107 to
  91 chars (<=100 budget), and added `quick-batch.md` to the hand-
  maintained KNOWN_SKILLS consolidation allowlist with a #3676
  justification comment (a genuinely new first-party command, not a
  consolidation of an existing skill).

- workflow-fragments-emission.install.test.cjs: added `quick-batch.md`
  to the hand-maintained MARKED_WORKFLOWS set (composeWorkflow is
  deliberately NOT a no-op for it — its research-phase/verification-
  wave sections are gated).

- Regenerated all downstream artifacts (npm run build:lib && npm run
  regen:derived && npm run gen:plugin-skills -- --write && npm run
  gen:features -- --write): skills/gsd-quick-batch/SKILL.md,
  skills/gsd-ns-workflow/SKILL.md, install-tree fixtures for
  augment/cline/hermes/qwen/trae/zcode.

- emitted-attribution.test.cjs: agents/gsd-planner.md's #3676 addition
  (one new `load_mode_context` bullet pointing at the new
  gsd-core/references/planner-quick-batch.md reference) grew the file
  124 bytes without an acknowledgment trailer. Acknowledged below —
  the growth is the deliberate, additive, single-bullet change from
  the earlier feat(#3676) commit, not drift.

Verified: npm run build:lib clean, npx tsc -p tsconfig.build.json
--noEmit clean, GITHUB_BASE_REF=next npm run lint:ci fully green
(includes lint-workflow-shellcheck, lint-test-file-count,
lint-docs-command-form). The deep install/spawn/registry tests gsd-test
actually runs (docs-parity-live-registry, gen-section-manifest,
runtime-launcher-parity, install-nested-layout,
runtime-artifact-layout-surface, skill-manifest, skill-frontmatter-
contract, mcp-server-catalog, model-omit-when-inherit-guard,
workflow-fragments-emission) are not part of lint:ci — each fix above
was independently verified by hand-invoking the exact production
function the failing test calls (installRuntimeArtifacts, applySurface,
composeWorkflow, the CLUSTERS union, the section-manifest forwarding
regex) against the real repo tree and confirming the expected shape.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-planner.md — additive #3676 quick-batch mode bullet in load_mode_context (one new line pointing at gsd-core/references/planner-quick-batch.md); not drift.

* fix(#3676): trim the /gsd:quick-batch help.md entry to fit the LARGE tier line budget

skill-frontmatter-contract.test.cjs's "feature #3039: tiered help —
size budgets" enforces a SEPARATE line-count ceiling for
gsd-core/workflows/help/modes/full.md (FULL_BUDGET = 844 lines,
tighten-only ratchet, scripts/lib/allowlist-ratchet.cjs's
assertTightCeiling) — independent of the skill-frontmatter description-
length budget and consolidation allowlist I touched in the prior round;
those are unrelated checks in the same test FILE, not the same check.

Root cause: the /gsd:quick-batch entry I added to full.md in the
docs-parity fix round was 17 lines, pushing the file from 834 to 851
lines — 7 over the 844 ceiling. Condensed the entry (merged the
per-flag bullet list into one dense "Flags:" line, dropped from 3
Usage examples to 1) to 844 lines exactly — at the ceiling with zero
slack, which assertTightCeiling accepts (it only fails on
actualMax > ceiling, or on slack > grace when the ceiling is too
LOOSE — zero slack triggers neither).

Verified after trimming: full.md still contains a live /gsd:quick-batch
reference (bidirectional parity) and all 5 argument-hint flags
(--jobs/--validate/--research/--resume/--file) still appear as literal
tokens (docs-parity-live-registry.test.cjs's own flag-coverage check,
re-run by hand against the trimmed content).

Verified: npm run build:lib clean, npx tsc -p tsconfig.build.json
--noEmit clean, GITHUB_BASE_REF=next npm run lint:ci fully green.

* docs(#3676): backfill changeset pr number to 4212

Follow-up to fix(#3676) commits — .changeset/silly-rams-caper.md's
pr:0 placeholder backfilled with the real PR number now that
gh api POST /pulls has returned it (#4212). Matches CLAUDE.md's PR
Number Handling convention and Phase 3's own #4190 precedent
(708c5a3f8c). Doc-only (root-level .changeset/*.md fragment), exempt
from a fresh gsd-test run per pre-pr-gate.sh's DOC_ONLY_RE.

* fix(#3676): resolve prompt-injection-scan false positive on test fixture

tests/quick-batch.test.cjs:232's row 11b regression proves the task-list
parser carries a prompt-injection-shaped task description through
createBatch as inert data, never interpreted. The fixture has to be a
real "ignore all previous instructions..." phrase or the test asserts
nothing, but the full-file --diff scan flagged it once unrelated edits
in the same file pulled it into the changed-file set.

Add the file to prompt-injection-scan.sh's ALLOWLIST, matching the
sanctioned, precedented exemption already used for other legitimate
security-regression fixtures (tests/windsurf-conversion.test.cjs,
tests/health-validation.test.cjs, tests/continuation-grammar-parity.test.cjs)
per DEFECT.PROMPT-INJECTION-SCAN-COLLISION.

acb903c2e8 enhance(#3661): make the code-review hook point configurable (#4159)
* feat(#3661): make the code-review hook point configurable

Add `workflow.code_review_point` (`execute:post` default, or
`execute:wave:post`) so a multi-wave phase can run code review once per
wave instead of once at the end, scoped to what changed since the phase's
prior review.

The code-review capability now declares its step at both loop points via a
new generic `pointFrom` step field: `pointFrom` names an enum config key,
and the step is only active at its own `point` when that key resolves to
a matching value. `_resolvePointGate` (capability-activation.cts) is the
single shared implementation consumed identically by loop-resolver.cts and
capability-state.cts, and capability-validator.cjs enforces that `pointFrom`
references an enum key whose values cover the declaring step's own point.

code-review.md's manual-invocation gate now reads `workflow.code_review`
directly instead of probing registry presence at the hardcoded execute:post
point (so manual `/gsd-code-review` keeps working regardless of which
automatic point is configured), and its file-scope tiers narrow to what
changed since the phase's last review commit when one exists.

execute-phase.md's wave-post step dispatch gets a small, precedented
carve-out so the code-review skill still receives its required phase
argument when dispatched generically (caught by the isolated spec review).

Closes #3661

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: code-review.md — #3661 adds a point-aware config gate check and LAST_REVIEW_COMMIT-based incremental scoping to the file-scope tiers.
Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: execute-phase.md — #3661 adds one carve-out sentence so the wave-post generic step dispatch passes PHASE_NUMBER to the code-review skill.

* docs: backfill changeset PR number for #3661 (#4159)

* fix: scope tests/io.test.cjs's fs.writeSync fault-injection mocks by fd

Five fault-injection mocks in the "bug #1008" describe blocks intercepted
every fs.writeSync call regardless of file descriptor, and several threw or
truncated unconditionally on the first call. This surfaced as an
intermittent macOS CI failure: node:test's own IPC channel back to the
parent process (which also goes through fs.writeSync internally) could get
a bogus injected error or truncated write if node's internal machinery
called it while one of these mocks was active, corrupting the message
frame the parent tried to deserialize ("Unable to deserialize cloned
data.", location tests/io.test.cjs:1:1, uncaughtException — a whole-file
IPC crash, not a test assertion failure).

Root cause confirmed by a working counter-example already in the same
file: the "#3912 A6" mocks gate on `fd !== 2` before any fault injection
and were never implicated. Applied the same fd-scoped pattern to the five
unscoped mocks (four output()-targeting tests gate on fd 1, one
error()-targeting test gates on fd 2), and added a regression test proving
an unrelated fd passes through untouched while the fault-injection mock is
active.

Found while verifying #3661; unrelated to that change's own diff.

* feat(#3653): add review.models.cursor — wire modelArg/modelConfigKey for the cursor reviewer lane

cursor-agent exposes --model (204 selectable models) but the cursor lane
declared modelArg: null / modelConfigKey: null, so review.models.cursor
was rejected as an unknown config key and the #1517 reviewer-instances
escape hatch silently discarded a configured model at modelExpansion.

Wire the lane the same way codex already is: inject {{model}} into args
right after -p, set modelArg to --model, and declare modelConfigKey as
review.models.cursor plus its config schema entry. An unconfigured lane
still invokes byte-identically to today.

gsd-test surfaced three surfaces still hardcoding "cursor declares no

  invariant test listed cursor among lanes that must own no model key.

  listed cursor as keyless, including a live config-set assertion that

4dfc46bbe7 enhance(#3348): add a context-drift pre-check gate to plan-phase (#4147)
* test(#3348): add failing-first coverage for the context-drift gate

* feat(#3348): add context-drift pre-check gate for plan-phase

Compares each phase's *-RESEARCH.md/*-PATTERNS.md/*-VALIDATION.md/*-SPEC.md
effective last-changed time (git commit time, falling back to mtime for
uncommitted edits) against *-CONTEXT.md's, so plan-phase no longer silently
reuses an upstream artifact that predates a decision added to CONTEXT.md
after that artifact was derived from it. Deterministic, no model call.

New `gsd_run verify context-drift <phase>` command, sibling to the existing
verify.codebase-drift/verify.schema-drift gates in the drift capability.
Warn-only by default (workflow.context_drift_precheck), with an opt-in
workflow.context_drift_action: block escape hatch. Wired at plan:pre in
plan-phase.md, before both the RESEARCH.md and PATTERNS.md reuse decisions.

* fix(#3348): address code-review findings — raw-text-match, stale comment, import placement, duplicated phase resolution

* fix(#3859): pin the real commit's diff.ignoreSubmodules to match the empty-diff probe

The #3859 empty-diff guard decides whether a submodule bump would land using
`--ignore-submodules=dirty`, overriding the caller's `diff.ignoreSubmodules`
config. The real `git commit -- <paths>` that follows was never given the
same override, so under a bare `diff.ignoreSubmodules=all` repo config the
two calculations disagree: driven on git 2.39.5 (Debian bookworm, the
linux-node24 test-matrix image), the guard correctly stands aside but the
scoped commit itself then silently fails (exit 1, no error text) for a
gitlink bump it had just confirmed would be recorded, surfacing as
commit_failed instead of committed:true.

Pin `-c diff.ignoreSubmodules=dirty` onto the scoped commit call too, so the
probe and the commit it protects can never diverge. Harmless when no
submodule path is involved (driven: identical outcome on an ordinary scoped
file, with and without the flag).

* fix(#3348): guard resolvePhaseDirByToken's exact-match fallback against path traversal

* fix(#3348): retarget phase-enumeration-drift exemption to the consolidated resolvePhaseDirByToken helper

cmdVerifySchemaDrift's inline readdirSync was already function-scoped-exempt
in lint-phase-enumeration-drift.cjs as a single-phase LOOKUP (not a
current-milestone enumeration). This PR's refactor pass lifted that block
into a shared helper, resolvePhaseDirByToken, also used by the new
cmdVerifyContextDrift — the guard tracks exemptions by enclosing function
name, so the readdirSync now lives in an unexempted function and started
firing. Move the exemption to resolvePhaseDirByToken (same written reason,
now covering both callers) instead of migrating to listAllPhaseDirs, which
would introduce two real behavior deltas here: it catches readdirSync
failures internally (old code let them throw) and sorts results by phase
number before matchPhaseDirs picks matches[0] (old code used raw,
OS-dependent readdirSync order).

* fix(#3348): satisfy lint:ci — slash form, capability registry regen

- docs/features/context-drift-gate.md used the deprecated /gsd: colon
  form; docs are never passed through the install-time slash-form
  converters, so lint-docs-command-form requires the hyphen form.
  Regenerated docs/FEATURES.md from the corrected fragment.
- Regenerated gsd-core/bin/lib/capability-registry.cjs after editing
  capabilities/drift/capability.json (lint:generated-sync).

* fix(#3859): pin the real commit's diff.ignoreSubmodules via env, not argv -c

The prior fix pinned `-c diff.ignoreSubmodules=dirty` onto the scoped commit's
argv via `commitArgs.unshift(...)`. `-c key=val` must precede the `commit`
subcommand, so this shifted `commitArgs[0]` from `'commit'` to `'-c'` for
every scoped commit call, breaking 17 position-based assertions in the
commit-files pathspec regression suite that read `a[0] === 'commit'` to find
the commit invocation among recorded git calls.

`execGit` already accepts an `env` option merged onto `process.env` before
spawning. Git honors `GIT_CONFIG_COUNT`/`GIT_CONFIG_KEY_0`/`GIT_CONFIG_VALUE_0`
as a per-invocation config override functionally identical to `-c key=val`,
expressed via env instead of argv. Passing that env alongside the existing
commitArgs (still `['commit', ..., '--', ...stagedPaths]`, argv unchanged)
fixes the real commit's effective diff.ignoreSubmodules to match the
empty-diff guard's probe without moving anything in argv position 0. Scoped
to exactly the canScope branch, matching the probe's own preconditions and
leaving no behavior change for commits the probe never evaluated.

No test file changes needed — the 17 previously-failing assertions test
argv[0] against the array passed into execGit, which never changes.

* fix(#3348): register verify-context-drift in the check subcommand router

The drift capability's new plan:pre gate declares check.query
"verify.context-drift", which normalizes to `check verify-context-drift`,
but no such subcommand was routed — phase6-capstone-conformance's
uniform-block-field test failed with "Unknown check subcommand" for
every declared gate query.

* fix(#3348): extend #1592's exact-key-list snapshot for the new context-drift config keys

tests/capability-registry.test.cjs asserted an exact, hardcoded snapshot
of the drift capability's config keys. #3348 legitimately adds two new
keys (workflow.context_drift_precheck, workflow.context_drift_action)
for its own plan:pre context-drift gate — extend the expected set
(and clarify the assertion message) without weakening the test's
exactness.

* fix(#3348): reconcile E2's exemption-migration pin with the resolvePhaseDirByToken extraction

#3348 (an earlier commit on this branch, e4b80ad81) extracted
cmdVerifySchemaDrift's inline phasesDir readdirSync/matchPhaseDirs block
into the shared resolvePhaseDirByToken helper (also used by the new
cmdVerifyContextDrift), and retargeted lint-phase-enumeration-drift.cjs's
function-scoped exemption from cmdVerifySchemaDrift to
resolvePhaseDirByToken accordingly — cmdVerifySchemaDrift no longer
contains a line the guard's detectors match, so it needs no exemption.

tests/phase-locator.test.cjs's E2 test still pinned the exemption to the
old name (cmdVerifySchemaDrift), unaware of the migration. Update E2 to
match the same "migrated call site's exemption must move, not
duplicate" pattern the test already applies to cmdRoadmapAnalyze and
cmdInitMilestoneOp just below it: drop cmdVerifySchemaDrift from the
still-exempt list and add symmetric assertions that it no longer
carries the exemption while resolvePhaseDirByToken now does.

* fix(#3348): fix two self-contradicting/nondeterministic tests in context-drift.test.cjs

'always exits 0 (query command contract)' included the no-phase-arg
case, which contradicts the file's own earlier
'errors with usage message on missing phase arg' test (that case
legitimately exits 1 via the Usage error) — drop it from the
always-exits-0 cases.

'degrades to mtime comparison outside a git repo' and '...in a repo
with no commits' relied on real wall-clock ordering between two
back-to-back writeFileSync calls to prove CONTEXT.md is newer than
RESEARCH.md; on a fast filesystem both can land in the same mtime
tick, producing a tie that computeContextDrift's strict `<` correctly
treats as not-stale, so stale_artifacts comes back empty. Make both
tests deterministic via explicit fs.utimesSync instead of relying on
timing (CONTRIBUTING.md: never assert elapsed wall-clock time).

c0fd2e3f4c feat(#3673): add dispatch.maxConcurrency axis and dispatch-capacity query (#4162)
* test(#3673): add failing tests for dispatch.maxConcurrency axis and dispatch-capacity CLI route

Extends tests/host-integration.test.cjs with negotiateHostCapabilities
maxConcurrency negotiation coverage (test matrix rows 1-15, including a
fast-check property test) and a new #3673 dispatch-capacity CLI route
describe block spawning the real gsd-tools.cjs (rows 16-25). Extends
tests/host-integration-validator-parity.test.cjs with an all-19-descriptor
maxConcurrency presence/validity sweep (row 26) and adds a hostile-input
validator test to host-integration.test.cjs (row 27).

The dispatch.maxConcurrency field does not exist yet, so these tests fail.

* feat(#3673): add dispatch.maxConcurrency axis, negotiation, validator parity, and the dispatch-capacity query

Adds a numeric dispatch.maxConcurrency sub-field to the Host-Integration
Interface (ADR-1239 Phase 1), following the existing dispatch.isolation
sub-field pattern: DispatchCapability interface, SAFE_DEFAULTS/PROFILE_BASELINES
floors, and a negotiateHostCapabilities branch that passes through a positive
safe integer and fails closed to 1 otherwise (no engine-side reduction, per
the design doc's explicit rejection of a min(host,engine) rule).

capability-validator.cjs gains parity validation for the new field (optional,
positive safe integer or the "undocumented" sentinel — mirroring isolation's
"added after existing descriptors" treatment).

gsd-tools.cjs gains a new `query dispatch-capacity` route, a pure-read sibling
of `dispatch-isolation` with no side effects: live env
(GSD_DISPATCH_MAX_CONCURRENCY) > descriptor > fallback-to-1 precedence.

All 19 capabilities/*/capability.json descriptors now declare
dispatch.maxConcurrency: claude carries the one cited value (20, per
code.claude.com/docs/en/sub-agents); the other 18 carry "undocumented"
(not yet researched for this axis).

* docs(#3673): document dispatch.maxConcurrency and add its citation row to the capability matrix

Updates docs/reference/host-integration-interface.md's dispatch struct entry
(also backfilling the previously-undocumented isolation/backgroundDispatch
sub-fields found stale in the same table) and adds fail-closed/live-transport
precedence prose for the new maxConcurrency field.

Adds a dispatch.maxConcurrency row (with citation) to all 19 host sections in
docs/reference/host-integration-capability-matrix.md — required for
tests/host-integration-descriptors.test.cjs's kimi-code matrix-parity check,
which asserts every declared dispatch sub-axis is documented there.

Updates docs/how-to/add-or-update-a-host-integration.md's dispatch checklist
and example descriptor block to mention maxConcurrency (and, likewise
backfilling a stale gap, isolation/backgroundDispatch).

* fix(#3673): extract shared maxConcurrency validator, drop dead reserved-name check

Exports isPositiveSafeInteger from src/host-integration.cts as the single
source of truth for the dispatch.maxConcurrency positive-safe-integer
contract; negotiateHostCapabilities and gsd-tools.cjs's routeDispatchCapacity
now both call it instead of independently reimplementing the same predicate.

Also removes the __proto__/constructor/prototype reserved-name branch from
capability-validator.cjs's maxConcurrency check — copy-pasted from the
string-enum fields above it, but unreachable for a numeric field (the
generic positive-safe-integer branch already rejects any string) and absent
from maxDepth, the field the code's own comment claims to mirror.

b848b23861 feat(#3778): dispatch plan:pre planner contributions before quick planning (#3934)
* feat(#3778): dispatch plan:pre planner contributions in quick.md

- Add plan:pre capability gate to quick.md Step 5, mirroring plan-phase.md's
  existing render + generic contribution dispatch pattern
- Inject planner-targeted contribution fragments into the planner prompt,
  after AGENT_SKILLS_PLANNER, matching D-08 ordering
- Add tests/quick-plan-pre-capabilities.test.cjs proving the dispatch is
  generic (D-01) via real scanWiredKinds/coveredKindsInRegion functions
- Record quick.md's byte-growth rationale in this commit trailer for every
  gsd-core-verbatim runtime

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: quick.md — #3778: Step 5 (Spawn planner, quick mode) gains a `plan:pre` capability gate, mirroring `plan-phase.md:420-424` and `:797`. This is shipped shell and prose read by an agent at runtime, not compiled, so the reasoning has to travel with the feature rather than being deferred to a reference doc: (1) the dispatch paragraph phrases role routing possessively ("the role each entry's `into` names") rather than as an `into ==` equality, because `coveredKindsInRegion` (scripts/gen-loop-host-contract.cjs) voids a segment's `kind == "contribution"` coverage credit when a role or capability equality shares that same segment — an equality phrasing here would silently fail the generic-dispatch proof required by D-01; (2) `activeHooks` is read directly in-context from `PLAN_PRE_HOOKS_JSON`/`HOOKS_JSON` and the unfiltered `rendered` digest is explicitly forbidden from being pasted, because `rendered` carries every kind and role — including non-planner-targeted contributions such as a `into: "checker"` twin — and pasting it would leak checker-scoped guidance into the planner's prompt (T-01-02 in the threat model); (3) the injection block sits inside `<planning_context>` AFTER `${AGENT_SKILLS_PLANNER}` and after the Project skills line, matching plan-phase's `:741` -> `:797` ordering (D-08), so agent-skills content is never shadowed by capability-contributed prose. No prose was moved into an eagerly `@`-imported reference to shrink the measured file — @gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md already existed before this change and is deferred to for the generic contract only, exactly as plan-phase.md already does.

* test(#3778): expand quick.md plan:pre dispatch coverage to all nine locked conditions

Extend tests/quick-plan-pre-capabilities.test.cjs with D-02 (silent
omit-when-empty), D-03 (single shared planner spawn), D-06 (array-order
dispatch phrasing), D-07 (planner-only into filter), and D-08 (render call
< agent-skills placeholder < injection block < spawn ordering) assertions,
all extracted via a brace-bounded slice anchored on the literal injection
instruction rather than a naive first-brace scan (${AGENT_SKILLS_PLANNER}
and the surrounding prompt's ${VALIDATE_MODE ? ...} ternaries also contain
brace pairs).

Add a capability-registry.test.cjs describe block proving the registry-wide
D-07 exclusion is meaningful: at least one plan:pre contribution exists,
every plan:pre contribution has a non-empty into/fragment.inline, and the
registry as a whole carries at least one non-planner-into contribution.

Add a loop-host-contract.test.cjs regression pin for D-09: quick.md stays
absent from STEP_WORKFLOWS, parseLoopHostBlock still throws on quick.md's
real content, and buildContract() still yields exactly 5 entries.

Verified red-without-Task-1 by temporarily reverting quick.md to its
pre-f30de9cc content and re-running these three suites (D-08 failed as
expected), then restored via git checkout and re-confirmed green.

* docs(#3778): note quick planning also renders plan:pre in the tutorial

The tutorial's Step 6 named only /gsd-plan-phase as the trigger for the
plan:pre hook set. Since quick.md now dispatches the same hook set
(f30de9cc), the sentence understated the capability's real reach.

* feat(#3778): add changeset fragment

* chore(#3778): reference the upstream issue in the changeset fragment

The fragment was the only one of 81 in .changeset/ without a trailing
(#NNNN) reference or a bold lead-in. serializeChangelog auto-appends
only the pr: field, so the rendered CHANGELOG entry carried no link
back to issue #3778.

* test(#3778): scope the D-07 registry assertion to what it actually proves

The registry-wide non-planner check was named "D-07 exclusion is
meaningful", which overclaims: it proves only that `into` takes
non-planner values somewhere in the registry, not that anything is
excluded at plan:pre. Every plan:pre contribution is currently
into: "planner", so the filter is a forward-looking safeguard there.

Narrowing the assertion to plan:pre (as review suggested) would fail
today. Asserting plan:pre is all-planner would be brittle — it would
break the day a legitimate non-planner plan:pre contribution lands,
which is exactly when the safeguard starts doing work. So the
assertion is unchanged and only the name and comment are corrected.

* chore(#3778): point the changeset fragment at the upstream PR

The fragment carried pr: 3, the fork staging PR. changeset lint derives
the real PR number from GITHUB_EVENT_PATH, so on the upstream PR that
would read as pr-field drift. Point it at open-gsd/gsd-core#3934.

62b0d939b6 feat(#3274): make reviewer-lane timeout configurable via timeoutConfigKey (#4083)
* feat(#3274): make reviewer-lane timeout configurable via timeoutConfigKey

Add an optional `timeoutConfigKey` field to the reviewer lane descriptor,
resolved in `resolveLanePlan` at invocation time and falling back to the
frozen `timeoutFloorMs` when unset or invalid, in the same spirit as the
existing `promptBudgetKey`/`modelConfigKey` fields. All 12 shipped lanes
declare `review.timeouts.<slug>` on both surfaces (the descriptor and their
capability.json manifest), validated by capability-validator.cjs.

For the antigravity lane, the native `agy --print-timeout` flag — previously
a second hardcoded literal (`540s`) independent of the outer cap — is now
derived from the same resolved outer timeout in `antigravityArgv`, preserving
the existing 60-second buffer relationship (ADR-2782 D6: the outer bound is
declared data, the inner one is handler-owned).

The antigravity default timeoutFloorMs stays at 600s per the maintainer's
disposition; users raise it through the new config key instead.

* docs(#3274): document review.timeouts.* and extract resolveTimeoutMs helper

Address code-review findings on the timeoutConfigKey change: extract the
inline timeout-resolution logic into a named, exported, directly-tested
resolveTimeoutMs helper (matching the file's existing configString/
normalizeHost convention); document the new review.timeouts.* federated
config keys in docs/CONFIGURATION.md, docs/reference/capability-manifest.md,
and docs/how-to/ship-a-reviewer-lane.md; add the changeset fragment.

* fix(#3274): resolve native antigravity timeout in resolveLanePlan, not the runner

gsd-test caught two design mistakes in the prior commits:

1. SpawnPlan.argv is documented and tested as fully resolved by
   resolveLanePlan (model/effort/output/prompt already folded in) — leaving
   the antigravity '{{nativeTimeout}}' marker unresolved until the runner's
   antigravityArgv violated that contract and broke tests that read
   plan.argv directly (tests/antigravity-reviewer.test.cjs,
   tests/review-default-reviewers-workflow.test.cjs). Fix: '{{nativeTimeout}}'
   is now a fifth ARGV_PLACEHOLDER member, resolved by resolveLanePlan itself
   via the new nativeTimeoutToken() helper, exactly like the other four.
   antigravityArgv reverts to its pre-#3274 four-argument form. Also missed
   updating capabilities/antigravity/capability.json's invoke.args to match
   the descriptor, which broke the manifest/descriptor parity test.

2. tests/reviewer-config-federation.test.cjs enforces a deliberate, narrow
   invariant (#3691 narrows #2797): qwen, cursor, and coderabbit — the three
   lanes with neither a model flag nor a host — may own no config key beyond
   their own prompt-budget key. Adding review.timeouts.<slug> to all 12 lanes
   violated it. Fix: those three keep timeoutConfigKey: null and own no
   review.timeouts.* key, matching their existing modelConfigKey: null. The
   other 9 lanes are unaffected.

* fix(#3648): resolve base_branch precedence inversion and round-1 findings

Blocker 1/2: production config resolution was flat-first, so a project
that migrated to git.base_branch but still carried a stale flat
base_branch got the old value back. Add base_branch to
normalizeLegacyKeys (mirrors the existing branching_strategy/sub_repos
pattern: canonical nested wins) and route readEffectiveGitConfig's
test seam through the same normalization so it can't silently diverge
from production again. Adds a regression test with both keys set that
fails without the fix.

Blocker 3/4/5: restore the handle_branching case-selector prose and
"none" contract sentence that #3389's tests anchor on, and revert the
unrelated prose/comment compaction in the same step — both were
drive-by edits outside #3552's scope.

Also addresses review majors/minors: delete readConfigBaseBranch and
readConfigProtectedBranches (dead in production, only self-tested);
--is-protected now fails closed (reports protected) instead of
silently answering false when the base branch can't be verified;
trim configured protected-branch names; fix HOME-without-USERPROFILE
vacuous isolation on Windows; correct the drift-ack's byte accounting.

* test(#3648): add failing legacy-key hoist safety coverage

Round-2 review found normalizeLegacyKeys block 5 records a normalization
carrying the DISCARDED flat value on the canonical-wins branch. Probing
that turned up a second, unreported defect in the same helper shape:
blocks 1, 2 and 5 all spread result['git'] / result['planning'] with no
object guard, so a config whose section key holds a string is spread into
index keys —

  {"git":"main","base_branch":"release"}
    -> {"git":{"0":"m","1":"a","2":"i","3":"n","base_branch":"release"}}

The resolved value is accidentally still correct, so nothing fails and no
diagnostic fires. But normalizations.length > 0 sets configDirty, and
config-loader then serializes that shape back into the user's
config.json — a read that silently corrupts config.

The deleted #3057 W3 suite covered {"git":"main","base_branch":"release"}
explicitly; this is the input it would have caught.

Covers both defects across blocks 1 and 5, with object/array/null
negative controls that must stay green in both phases, and a fast-check
property over arbitrary `git` values.

* test(#3648): pin fail-closed handling of malformed protected_branches

Replaces the test that pinned the fail-OPEN behaviour. The old
assertion — ['develop', 42] yields isProtected === false for 'develop' —
locked in the exact failure #3552 exists to close: config-set validation
is bypassable by a direct edit of .planning/config.json, so a user who
believes 'develop' is protected got a silent false and no warning.

It was also inconsistent with the fail-CLOSED direction twelve lines
away, where an unverified base reports protected and writes a
diagnostic. A protection predicate must not have two opposite failure
directions depending on which input is bad (#3648 review Blocker 3).

New coverage: a bad element drops only itself, a non-array contributes
no names, an empty list is well-formed rather than malformed, and
--is-protected surfaces the rejection. Both negative controls — a clean
list reports nothing rejected and writes no diagnostic — must stay green
in either phase, so the reject channel cannot fire unconditionally.

* fix(#3648): drop only invalid protected_branches and report them

Partition git.protected_branches instead of discarding the whole list on
one bad element, and carry the rejections out through
ProtectedBranchStatus so --is-protected can name them on stderr. Valid
names keep protecting; the user finds out the rest were ignored.

A non-array value still contributes no names — a bare string is not a
list of branch names — but is now reported rather than swallowed. An
empty array stays silent: declaring no extra protected branches is a
valid choice, not a misconfiguration.

writeDiagnostic is hoisted out of the unverified-base branch since both
arms now use it.

* test(#3648): prove the predicate diagnostic survives both call sites

The workflow bash stub now emits a stderr diagnostic the way the real
command does, which is what makes a swallowed `2>/dev/null` visible to a
test — previously the stub was silent on stderr, so discarding it changed
no observable behaviour and the call sites could drop the explanation
undetected.

Adds the Minor 2 binding check as well: ship must expose the predicate
result as IS_PROTECTED rather than only echoing a warning, asserted by
running the extracted bash and reading the bound value, not by grepping
the workflow source.

Both tests carry opposite-outcome controls — an empty diagnostic must
leave the text absent, and a false predicate must bind false.

* fix(#3648): surface the predicate diagnostic and bind ship's result

Drop `2>/dev/null` from the --is-protected call at both call sites. The
fail-closed explanation and the new rejected-entry warning both go to
stderr, so discarding it left the user with a bare "protected branch"
warning on a branch that is not protected and no way to tell a real
match from a degraded-git guess. `git branch --show-current` keeps its
own redirect — that one is genuine noise.

ship.md binds IS_PROTECTED and its prose now branches on the variable,
so the following steps have evaluable state instead of having to infer
it from warning text in tool output.

execute-phase.md byte accounting refreshed: 92326 -> 92645, net growth
319 bytes (was 331 before the redirect came out). Baseline re-verified
against the current rebase base by blob id; the ceiling check passes
with 755 bytes of margin.

* test(#3648): restore negative space for the readFile config seam

The #3057 W3 suite was deleted with readConfigBaseBranch, but every arm
it pinned survives verbatim in readEffectiveGitConfig's readFile branch —
the JSON.parse catch, the non-object guard, the git-section object guard,
.trim() and blank-string rejection — and the four surviving readFile
injections were positive-path only. protected_branches was never driven
through this seam at all.

Restores nine cases against the seam, including protected_branches
partitioning, plus a control proving loadConfig still wins when both
seams are supplied.

Records honestly what the suite pins. Mutating the built lib shows
.trim() is KILLED, while the non-object guard and the blank-string
rejection SURVIVE — both are unreachable through this entry point for
the same reasons the deleted suite documented against its own
equivalents: a JSON-parsed non-object carries no relevant own-property
either way, and a blank value is rejected a second time downstream by
the resolver's truthiness check. They stay as defence-in-depth and are
labelled known-unkillable rather than left looking like coverage this
suite does not provide.

* test(#3648): distinguish detached HEAD from a missing branch argument

`args[1] ?? ''` collapsed two different situations into one: a detached
HEAD, where `git branch --show-current` legitimately prints nothing, and
the flag being called with no argument at all. Both answered false, so
the right outcome arrived by an unintentional path and a caller bug was
indistinguishable from normal operation.

Asserts the detached case stays silent and the missing-argument case
reports, with a control that the two diagnostics differ.

* fix(#3648): report a missing --is-protected branch argument

Answer false either way, but say so when the flag arrives with no
argument. A detached HEAD passes an explicit empty string and stays
silent, since that is a normal state rather than a misconfiguration.

* docs(#3648): state exact-name matching and per-entry rejection

isProtected is exact string equality, so a git-flow project must
enumerate every release/* and hotfix/* by name. #3552 only asked for an
integration-branch field, so the implementation satisfies the letter of
the issue while leaving its git-flow motivation partly unserved — say so
where users will meet it rather than leaving them to discover it.

Also documents the Blocker 3 behaviour change: an invalid entry is
ignored with a warning naming it and the remaining names still apply.

Both statements land in docs/CONFIGURATION.md and
gsd-core/references/planning-config.md, and the config-field-docs parity
test asserts each in both so the two cannot drift.

* refactor(#3648): extract isValidProtectedBranches for cross-surface pinning

The `git.protected_branches` check inside `cmdConfigSet` and the resolver's
per-entry filter in `git-base-branch.cts` are deliberately different shapes —
all-or-nothing on write, per-entry on read, so a hand-edited config.json cannot
fail the guard open. Nothing structural keeps their two definitions of "usable
branch name" in step.

Lifting the write-side check into a named, exported predicate lets a property
test ask both surfaces about the same value and assert they agree, which is the
fast-check gap the round-2 review flagged. No behaviour change: the predicate is
the same expression, called from the same place.

* fix(#3648): stop --is-protected rewriting the config it is asking about

`gsd_run query git.base-branch --is-protected` runs on every execute-phase and
every ship. It resolved config through `loadConfig`, whose normalize-then-write
path rewrites `.planning/config.json` whenever any legacy key normalizes — so a
boolean question was silently editing the user's checked-in config. This PR had
widened the trigger by adding a fifth normalization block (top-level
`base_branch` -> `git.base_branch`), making it fire for exactly the projects the
feature targets.

`loadConfigResolved` gains `options.persist` (opt-OUT, default true): resolution
is unchanged, only the two write-back side effects are suppressed. The predicate
passes `persist: false`; the ~30 other callers are untouched, so a legacy config
is still migrated by ordinary use.

Asserted on BYTES rather than parsed shape, because the rewrite reorders keys and
reflows whitespace even when the values are equivalent. Three tests, each with
its own control: the end-to-end CLI leaves the file byte-identical while still
answering `true` from the legacy key (proving the config WAS read); an ordinary
persisting load of the same fixture DOES change the bytes (proving the fixture
is live rather than inert); and `persist:false` vs default over one directory
returns deep-equal config while differing on the write. Reverting the one-line
`persist: false` fails the first of those and only that one.

Also from the review:

- `readEffectiveGitConfig`'s comment claimed the readFile branch routed "through
  the same precedence authority production uses". It does not, and cannot — it
  reproduces two of production's steps over a single file. The comment now names
  what the seam covers and what it does NOT (root/workstream deep merge, builtin
  and global defaults, federated merge), and the seam now applies production's
  flat-then-nested lookup so it stops disagreeing about a surviving flat key.

- The missing-argument diagnostic promised "answering false", which the
  fail-closed guard on the same call can contradict by printing `true`. It now
  states what it did with the argument and leaves the answer to stdout.

* test(#3648): re-pin block 5 on #3760's refusal contract

#3767 landed on next while this PR was in review and fixed the non-object
config-section defect properly: a present-but-non-object section now BLOCKS its
own migration — value preserved, no Normalization pushed, refusal reported via
`skipped[]` — rather than being rebuilt from a plain-object view. That supersedes
this branch's round-2 `hoistLegacyKey`, which prevented the character-key spread
but still dropped the section value silently, and which the round-3 review
correctly called out as destruction in place of corruption. The rebase drops that
commit and routes block 5 through the upstream helper.

This file's tests asserted the superseded design, so they are rewritten to pin
block 5 — `base_branch` -> `git.base_branch`, which did not exist when #3760's
suite was written — against the contract that now governs it: ordinary hoist into
an absent/null/object section, canonical-nested-wins, and refusal for each of
string/number/boolean/array sections with the exact `skipped` entry.

Two controls keep it from passing vacuously: the refusal must be scoped to block
5 (an unrelated block still normalizes in the same call), and a property over
arbitrary `git` values asserts hoist and refusal are exhaustive AND mutually
exclusive per key, that a refusal leaves both the section and the legacy key
untouched, and that a hoist manufactures no index key the input did not carry.

* docs(#3648): correct the Git Query and Config Loader module contracts

CONTEXT.md's Git Query Module still described base-branch tier 1 as a direct
`.planning/config.json` read. Since this PR it is the EFFECTIVE configuration
resolved by the Config Loader — a materially different authority, carrying the
root/workstream deep merge, flat-then-nested lookup and builtin/federated
defaults. The `--is-protected` predicate, `git.protected_branches`, and the two
invariants that distinguish the predicate from the plain query (fails closed on
an unverified base; must not write) were undocumented entirely.

The Config Loader entry now states that loading is not side-effect-free by
default and documents `options.persist`.

docs/INVENTORY.md's `git-base-branch.cjs` row carried the same stale ladder and
no mention of the predicate. `node scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write`
was run and produced no diff: the manifest indexes roster NAMES, not row prose,
so a description edit cannot move it.

Also closes the global-defaults minor: `git.protected_branches` is inert in
`~/.gsd/defaults.json`, but so is every other `git.*` key — no branch-policy key
appears in `_globalBaseCfg` or `GLOBAL_DEFAULTS_RESOLUTION_KEYS`. That is
section-wide and predates this PR, so the fix is to state the scope where users
meet it rather than to quietly extend the resolution set for two new keys.

* fix(#3648): close four defects found by the round-4 external review

Two external reviewers (codex, antigravity/Gemini 3.1 Pro) were run adversarially
against this branch. Four findings reproduced against source; each is fixed with a
failing-first test and a control, and each fix was verified by reverting it and
watching exactly the intended test fail.

1. `persist:false` was DROPPED by the workstream fallback (codex). Blocker 1 was
   only half closed. `loadConfigResolved` re-enters itself with a bare
   `{ workstream: null }` when a workstream has no config.json of its own, and
   that literal discarded every other option — so the recursive pass ran at the
   DEFAULT persistence and rewrote the ROOT config. Reproduced: with
   GSD_WORKSTREAM=alpha and a legacy flat `base_branch`, `--is-protected`
   rewrote `.planning/config.json` despite `persist:false`. Both recursions now
   forward `options` and override only `workstream`; the explicit override still
   wins the hasOwnProperty check, so spreading cannot let `workstreamContext`
   reintroduce a workstream.

2. Both workflow call sites failed OPEN, and aborted under `set -e` (both
   reviewers, independently). `IS_PROTECTED=$(gsd_run ...)` yields an empty
   string when the query fails, so `[ "$X" = true ]` was simply false: no
   warning, no trace — a silent hole in the guard whose only job is to warn. The
   bare assignment also aborted the step under `set -e`. Both sites now degrade
   VISIBLY: `|| IS_PROTECTED=""`, then an explicit empty-string arm that says the
   check did not run. Deliberately not fail-closed — claiming "protected" on no
   evidence would warn on every branch whenever gsd-tools is unavailable.

3. `isValidProtectedBranches` and the resolver disagreed on a sparse array
   (antigravity). `.every()` skips holes; the resolver's `for...of` yields
   `undefined` for them, so `["main", , "develop"]` was accepted by config-set
   and rejected by the resolver. The cross-surface property passed only because
   `fc.array` cannot generate a hole. The predicate now indexes, and the
   generator punches holes so that axis is actually falsifiable. JSON cannot
   express a hole, so this is unreachable in production — but two definitions of
   one predicate must not contradict each other.

4. A top-level `protected_branches` silently outranked `git.protected_branches`
   (antigravity). Routing the key through `get(key, {section, field})` gave it
   flat-then-nested precedence, which is back-compat for keys
   `normalizeLegacyKeys` migrates. `protected_branches` is new in #3552 and has
   no legacy form, so that invented an undocumented alias. It now resolves
   nested-only through a new `getNested`, in production and in the test seam.
   `base_branch` keeps flat-then-nested — it HAS a legacy spelling that #3760's
   refusal path can leave behind — and a control pins that distinction.

Also narrows a CONTEXT.md claim this round introduced. The predicate fails closed
only when a git query TIMED OUT or could not be spawned (#3057 B4's `verified`);
a git command that runs and exits non-zero counts as a clean negative, so a cwd
that is not a repository answers `false`, not `true`. Verified pre-existing on
next @ 738f42f4, so the documentation was over-claiming rather than the code
regressing — but an over-broad contract is exactly what the module docs must not
carry.

Both workflow byte figures re-derived after the call-site change:
execute-phase.md 92356 -> 92865 (+509), ship.md 36784 -> 37227 (+443).

* test(#3648): pin git config read parity

* docs(#3648): document git query contracts

* fix(#3648): expose protected branch default

* test(#3648): snapshot planning tree for read-only query

* test(#3648): pin planning snapshot stray-write detection

* fix(#3648): resolve merge conflict from #3078's ack-fragment sweep

next swept the fully-spent 2818/3003 ack fragments this branch had
appended to (#3078, a84f7563). Rebased onto upstream/next and took
the deletions on both, then moved the #3552 append into a new
fragment of its own.

Rebasing onto the current base also left execute-phase.md only 34
bytes under the frozen ADR-857 Phase 6 margin ceiling (93400 bytes) —
intervening next PRs consumed the rest while this PR was in review.
Extracted the "none" arm's protected-branch-warning bash block into
gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase/steps/protected-branch.md (content
unchanged, matching the existing steps/ extraction pattern used
elsewhere in this file) so the inline growth is a one-line pointer
instead of the full block. 93366 -> 93385 bytes (+19), 15 bytes
inside the ceiling.

* fix(#3648): drop stale ack entry for the new step file

The extracted execute-phase/steps/protected-branch.md needed no
acknowledgment of its own — the differential-attribution check flagged
the entry as stale once the build ran, so removed it and kept the two
growth entries (execute-phase.md, ship.md) that actually needed one.

* fix(#3648): follow the step-file reference in the bash-extraction test helper

extractProtectedBranchWarningBash() read the "none" arm's bash block
directly out of execute-phase.md. That block now lives in
execute-phase/steps/protected-branch.md (byte-ceiling extraction);
the helper follows the step-file reference and extracts from there
when no inline block is found, so the three execute-phase tests that
execute this bash for real keep exercising the actual behavior.

* fix(#3648): regenerate INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json and satisfy the CRLF-fragile lint rule

- gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write to pick up the new
  execute-phase/steps/protected-branch.md entry (already covered by
  docs/INVENTORY.md's generic workflow_steps wildcard row, so no
  INVENTORY.md edit is needed).
- Reworked the step-file-reference lookup in
  extractProtectedBranchWarningBash() to avoid a bare-\n regex split
  on file content (local/no-crlf-fragile-split), using the same
  line-array scan the function already uses elsewhere.

* fix(#3648): regenerate golden install-tree fixtures for the new step file

npm run gen:install-tree, adding gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase/
steps/protected-branch.md to all 19 runtime install-tree fixtures.
CI's tests/golden-install-tree.test.cjs caught this on push — I'd
verified the differential-attribution and INVENTORY-MANIFEST checks
but missed this separate golden-fixture check for the new file.

* fix(#3648): add the canonical gsd_run preamble to the new step file

CI's runtime-launcher-parity suite requires exactly one canonical
resolver preamble in every workflow .md that calls gsd_run. The
inline "none"-arm block never needed one (execute-phase.md already
carried a preamble elsewhere in the same file), but the extracted
execute-phase/steps/protected-branch.md is now its own file with no
preamble of its own. Ran node scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs to
insert it (execute-phase.md itself is untouched — still 93385 bytes,
inside the ADR-857 ceiling).

That preamble defines its own gsd_run(), which shadows the mock
tests/git-base-branch.test.cjs injects for the three #3648 tests that
execute this bash for real — without stripping it, those tests reached
the real gsd-tools.cjs on the machine running them instead of the
test's fixture. Preamble correctness is already covered by
tests/runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs, so extractProtectedBranchWarningBash()
now strips the preamble line before handing the block to the harness;
it only needs to exercise the #3552 warning logic.

* fix(#3552): address PR 3648 review feedback on protected branch warnings

- Fix execute-phase handle_branching branching_strategy=none instruction
  to "Read and execute execute-phase/steps/protected-branch.md"
- Use io.error(..., ERROR_REASON.USAGE) for cmdGitBaseBranch usage errors
- Align git.protected_branches schema default to (none) without fallback []
- Relocate CONTEXT.md forward-referencing sentence into module body
- Sanitize control and ANSI characters in renderRejected diagnostics
- Clean up out-of-scope whitespace hunks in gsd-tools.cjs

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: execute-phase.md — #3552: execute-phase handle_branching adds a pointer to execute-phase/steps/protected-branch.md for branching_strategy=none so the protected-branch check executes while keeping execute-phase.md within the ADR-857 Phase 6 margin ceiling (93400 bytes). 93392 bytes, 8 bytes inside the ceiling.
Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: ship.md — #3552: ship preflight step 3 now asks the same typed git.base-branch --is-protected predicate as execute-phase, binding IS_PROTECTED and warning without refusing execution or blocking the branching_strategy=none feature-branch offer; it degrades visibly (rather than silently reading an empty result as "not protected") when the query itself fails to run. 36841 bytes, well inside the XL cap (98304, tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs).

472f585f7c fix(#3726)!: require --confirm before milestone complete mutates (#3774)
* fix(#3726): require --confirm before milestone complete mutates

`milestone complete <version>` is a one-way door — ROADMAP.md and
REQUIREMENTS.md archived, every phase directory in the milestone MOVED,
STATE.md rewritten — and ran unconditionally on first invocation through
every invocation path, including `query milestone.complete <version>`,
whose `query` meta-prefix reads as a read-only namespace but performs no
filtering (#167's invocation-compatibility shim + #3243's dotted-form
normalization).

The gate lives on the destructive command itself, not on the `query`
prefix (the prefix is an intentional invocation mechanism, not a
permission boundary — restricting it would break dozens of shipped
workflow callers). Without --confirm and without --dry-run the command
now refuses via error() before reading anything beyond its arg checks,
so an unconfirmed invocation is a guaranteed no-op on disk. --dry-run
still previews with no confirmation needed and is now documented in the
usage block (it was only documented for the sibling archive-quick).
--force keeps its narrow meaning — bypassing the TRUNCATED-scope and
unstarted-phase guards — and does not double as the mutation opt-in.
--confirm follows the existing `phases clear --confirm` idiom in the
same module.

complete-milestone.md's two invocations pass --confirm (the workflow has
gathered explicit user intent by that step). Existing tests get
--confirm appended — pre-change behavior is exactly confirmed behavior —
and a #3726 regression block covers: refusal + full-tree byte-identity
on both invocation forms, --force not satisfying the gate, --dry-run
still passing without confirmation, and --confirm proceeding. The
refusal tests fail against pre-fix code (negative control run).

Fixes #3726

* docs(#3726): document the --confirm requirement in CLI-TOOLS and COMMANDS

Cross-AI review of the fix diff (codex, pre-create) caught three shipped
doc sites still instructing the now-refused bare invocation: the
CLI-TOOLS.md milestone-complete synopsis + flag table, and COMMANDS.md's
two guard-override instructions (`--force` alone now refuses without
--confirm). Localized CLI-TOOLS copies already lag the English synopsis
(no --force/--dry-run either) and follow the translation pipeline, not
this fix.

* chore(#3726): set changeset fragment pr to 3774

* test(#3726): confirm-gate CI repairs — QA scenario caller + growth ack

Two CI reds from the --confirm gate, both this branch's own misses:

- tests/qa/scenarios/milestone-rollover.json invoked `milestone complete
  1.0 --force` as a JSON arg-array fixture — a caller shape the test
  sweep (which grepped runGsdTools/runSdkQuery in tests/*.cjs) never
  enumerated. Adds --confirm; the scenario's boundary-crossing contract
  is otherwise untouched.
- complete-milestone.md's +420-byte --confirm note trips the
  emitted-attribution growth ratchet. Acknowledged as a #3726 append to
  the existing complete-milestone.md entry in
  3409-unreachable-guard-arms.json (two ack sources may never name the
  same path, per that fragment's own precedent).

Local: lint-emitted-drift-ack ok; loop-walk.qa 115/115 green sandboxed.

* docs(#3726): CLI-TOOLS.md guard-override sentences say --force --confirm

Review Major 1: the truncated-window and unstarted-phase guard paragraphs
still told the reader to "Pass `--force` to override", which now refuses
(--force alone does not satisfy the confirmation gate), while the flag
table 470 lines later said the opposite. Mirror the docs/COMMANDS.md pair
so the file no longer contradicts itself.

* docs(#3726): synopsis renders --confirm and --dry-run as alternatives

Review Nit 1: `milestone complete <version> --confirm [--dry-run]` read as
"a dry run still needs --confirm", the opposite of AC 3. Render the pair
as `(--confirm | --dry-run)` in the CLI-TOOLS.md synopsis and the usage
docblock, and let the flag rows carry the rule.

* test(#3726): pass --confirm in base-added milestone fixtures; re-file the growth ack

Rebase onto next (26 commits) surfaced three tests the gate now refuses:
the #3685 write-flag contract pair in tests/milestone.test.cjs and the
`milestone complete` boundary fixture in tests/state-contract.test.cjs
all invoke the command bare. Each now passes --confirm (a mutating run is
exactly what they assert on).

The +420 byte complete-milestone.md growth ack rode on
3409-unreachable-guard-arms.json, which #3078 swept from next as fully
spent — hence the modify/delete conflict. Re-filed under a fresh fragment
named for this issue, never resurrecting the swept one.

* test(#3726): pin the present-but-falsy arm of the confirmation gate

Review Minor 1: the boundary triple covered absent and present but not
present-but-falsy. The gate is an exact-token match, so --confirm=false
and --confirm=0 refuse today — pinned (canonical + query forms, whole
.planning/ tree byte-identical) so a future `=`-aware or prefix-matching
parser cannot silently turn --confirm=false into a confirmed run of an
irreversible command.

* test(#3726): drop --confirm from dry-run-only invocations

Review Nit 2: --confirm was mass-appended to 14 pre-existing --dry-run
invocations that never needed it, so each stopped standing as incidental
proof that a preview needs no confirmation. Reverted to the pre-PR form;
the dedicated AC-3 test carries the explicit assertion.

* docs(#3726): sync the localized CLI-TOOLS synopsis with the confirm gate

REQ-I18N-02 (docs/features/internationalized-documentation.md) requires
translations to stay synchronized with the English source. The four
localized CLI-TOOLS.md guides still advertised a bare
`milestone complete <version>`, which now exits 1. Render the English
synopsis verbatim — `(--confirm | --dry-run)` plus the `[--force]` and
`[--archive-quick]` flags the translations had also fallen behind on.

* test(#3726): drop --confirm from the remaining preview-only invocations

Round 2 reverted the --confirm appends on --dry-run-only invocations in
tests/milestone.test.cjs, but four more sat in two files the sweep missed:
tests/milestone-archive.test.cjs (three) and
tests/milestone-window-single-owner.test.cjs (one).

Each is a preview run whose whole purpose is to document that a preview
mutates nothing, so `--dry-run ... --confirm` contradicted the semantics
the test exists to pin. Dropping the token restores each as incidental
proof that a preview needs no confirmation; the dedicated AC-3 test keeps
the explicit assertion.

No assertion added, relaxed, or removed — the change is four tokens.

* chore(#3726): migrate the emitted-drift ack from a fragment to a commit trailer

#3954 (ADR-3942) moved emitted-drift acknowledgments out of
tests/emitted-drift-acks/ and into git commit trailers, and the fragment
directory no longer exists on next. The reason this PR's fragment carried
moves verbatim into the Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth trailer on this commit;
the fragment file is removed rather than resurrected.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: complete-milestone.md — #3726: +420 bytes (40186 -> 40606). The archive_milestone step's two `milestone complete` invocations now pass the required --confirm flag (the command refuses to mutate without it — the archive is irreversible), with a note explaining the flag and pointing at --dry-run for previews. Deliberate runtime-loaded workflow text for the new gate, not converter drift.

* fix(#3726): name --confirm in the version-required refusal

The documented arg-discovery path (gsd-tools.cjs top-level usage: invoke
the command without args and the error lists what is required) stopped at
`version required for milestone complete (e.g., v1.0)` — one required
argument short. Discovering --confirm took a second round trip through the
gate. The refusal now reads `… — and --confirm to mutate`, pinned by a test
that also asserts the version-less invocation leaves .planning/ untouched.

* test(#3726): pin the milestone complete docs against a silent regression

The changeset is `type: Fixed`, which the docs-required lint exempts, so
nothing in CI would notice a later edit that reinstated the bare-`--force`
override prose or dropped `--confirm` from the synopsis. Four tests in
tests/milestone.test.cjs now pin: the synopsis line in docs/CLI-TOOLS.md
and its four localized mirrors; the `--confirm` flag row; both
guard-override instructions in docs/CLI-TOOLS.md and docs/COMMANDS.md,
by guard name (a substring match on each instruction's `--force
--confirm` text); and — as an identity ratchet over the
milestone-complete sections — every `--force` sentence or clause that
lacks `--confirm`, so a new bare instruction in its own sentence or
clause fails whatever its wording. Named residual: a bare instruction
spliced into the same clause as a compliant one coalesces with it and
passes the ratchet; the by-name pins are what keep the four known
instructions from losing the pairing that way. The file is registered
in scripts/docs-guard-registry.cjs so the pin runs on the PR that
changes those docs, not only after merge.

80de48c319 enhance(#3914): every phase records a truthful guard ledger (#4018)
* fix(#3914): retire n/no-process-exit where its successor governs

Epic #3889 criterion 5 — no phase closes with a guard added and its
predecessor left standing — is violated in the tree by the epic that wrote it.

local/require-registered-exit was registered on gsd-core/bin/**/*.cjs and
scripts/**/*.cjs, while n/no-process-exit stayed 'error' over a nine-glob block
covering those same two. Only the hooks 'off' exemption ever came down; the
predecessor's registration never did. Both rules have been enforcing the same
property on the same surfaces since P6.

Narrowed, not deleted. Seven of those nine globs have NO successor —
eslint-rules/, bin/lib/, pi/, examples/, vscode/, .kilo/, .opencode/ — so
deleting the rule outright would silently drop enforcement on all seven. That
is the inversion this epic has already hit three times: removing a coarse guard
because a narrower one exists somewhere it does not reach. Flat config is
last-match-wins and both successor blocks come after the nine-glob block, so
'n/no-process-exit': 'off' in exactly those two retires the predecessor
precisely where the successor governs and nowhere else.

The successor is strictly more precise: it permits process.exit only inside
terminateNow in cli-exit.cts, the single sanctioned terminator (ADR-3889 §3),
where n/no-process-exit permits none and would flag terminateNow's own
generated copy.

Asserted at the consumer's altitude via ESLint.calculateConfigForFile on real
paths, with the positive control that matters: n/no-process-exit is still
'error' on six of the seven successor-less globs, so a future edit that turns
this into a blanket disable goes red. bin/lib/ has no file in this checkout and
is reported as untested rather than given an invented path. Severity is
normalized across the string/numeric/array forms the API can return, and the
normalized value asserted — not truthiness.

Verified by running calculateConfigForFile myself on both superseded globs and
four controls before trusting the test.

Found and fixed inline: the change made an eslint-disable directive at
gsd-tools.cjs:257 partially unused, which --max-warnings 0 rejects; narrowed to
the one rule still in force.

Verification runs on the remote runner.

* docs(#3914): the epic added three guards, it did not remove one

The audit reconciled the epic ledger against what actually landed. The net is
+3, not -1: four lint:generated-sync --check arms (gen-scripts-cli-exit,
gen-hooks-cli-exit, gen-exit-code-registry, gen-exit-code-docs) plus one rule,
against two retirements.

An epic whose thesis was consolidation ended with a larger guard surface than
it started with. The additions are each defensible; the claim that the total
fell was never true.

Two of the three prior errors in this amendment are mine. It said "Net -1 by
count" above terms reading -1 -1 +1 +1 +1, which sums to +1 — an arithmetic
error in the paragraph directly below the sentence arguing that an ADR about
honest accounting must not pad its own ledger. And the term list omitted two of
the four --check arms, which is what turns that +1 into the real +3.

Recorded rather than quietly rewritten. This ledger has now been wrong three
times — the original -2, the -1 that replaced it, and #3914's own table, which
states -1 above terms summing to 0 — and a written claim nobody checked against
the thing it describes is the exact failure this epic exists to close.

Refs #3914

* fix(#3914): make the successor actually supersede before retiring the predecessor

An isolated security review found that the previous commit turned off a guard
that was still doing work. Reproduced by executing both rules against a
fixture, not inferred:

  const exit = 'exit';
  process[exit](1);

n/no-process-exit flags it; local/require-registered-exit did not, because it
early-returned on callee.computed. So retiring the predecessor on
gsd-core/bin/**/*.cjs and scripts/**/*.cjs un-guarded that shape on precisely
the two globs this epic's exit contract cares most about.

This is the third time in this epic I have removed a coarse guard on the claim
that a narrower one covered it, without checking construct-level parity — after
the allowlist key-to-prefix-to-exact-membership sequence and the band
ranges-to-categories one. The rule is the same every time: a narrower guard
supersedes a coarser one only where it demonstrably reaches at least as far,
and "demonstrably" means executing both against the constructs, not reading
either.

The successor now resolves computed property access for the statically
determinable cases — a string Literal, and an Identifier bound once to a string
Literal, resolved through scope — and leaves genuinely dynamic properties
alone so the rule does not over-fire. Measured after the fix: plain
process.exit flagged, process['exit']() flagged, process[exit]() flagged,
process[globalThis.k]() not flagged. That makes it a strict superset of the
predecessor on these globs, since process['exit']() was caught by NEITHER rule
before.

The second finding is worse than the first, because it was reasoning rather
than oversight. My justification comment claimed n/no-process-exit "would flag
terminateNow's own generated copy here". It would not — that file is in the
global ignore list, so neither rule ever lints it. There was no conflict to
resolve; I wrote a rationale I had not checked, in a change whose entire
subject is written claims nobody verified. Both comment blocks now state the
real basis.

The tests that should have caught this asserted only rule SEVERITY per glob and
never construct REACH, which is exactly how a coverage hole passed. A parity
matrix now pins all five shapes, including a RED/GREEN regression pin against
an inlined reproduction of the pre-fix rule — inlined rather than loaded from
HEAD, because HEAD resolves to the fixed commit under the remote runner and
would silently stop testing anything.

Verification runs on the remote runner.

* fix(#3914): the two exit rules are complementary — keep both

Reverts this branch's retirement of n/no-process-exit. The premise was wrong
twice, and the second review proved the change itself was wrong.

I claimed local/require-registered-exit was a strict superset on
gsd-core/bin/**/*.cjs and scripts/**/*.cjs. Measured, successor vs predecessor:

  function f(exit) { process[exit](1); }         0  vs  1
  let exit='exit'; exit='exit'; process[exit]()   0  vs  1
  const { exit } = ...; process[exit](1)         0  vs  1

plus for-of bindings, let-then-assign, var redeclaration, catch params, and an
undeclared global named exit. The predecessor matches any identifier NAMED
exit however it is bound; the successor resolves only a string literal or a
single-write const. It never was a superset — I asserted the relationship after
fixing one construct and did not re-check the rest.

The justification was independently false: all three generated cli-exit copies
are in the global ignore list, so n/no-process-exit was never flagging
terminateNow. There was no conflict to resolve. I wrote a rationale I had not
verified, in the phase whose subject is written claims nobody checked.

So criterion 5 does not apply to this pair. They are not predecessor and
successor — they are complementary, each catching constructs the other misses.
The epic's criterion assumed a replacement relationship that does not exist
here, and retiring either rule loses real coverage. The ADR ledger now says so
with the measured shapes.

What survives is the genuine improvement: the computed-property strengthening.
local/require-registered-exit now catches process['exit'](1) and optional-chain
terminators like process?.[k]?.(1), which NEITHER rule caught before, while
correctly ignoring a genuinely dynamic property so it does not over-fire.

The parity tests are rewritten to assert what is true rather than what I wanted
to be true: a bidirectional matrix where each rule is shown catching shapes the
other misses. The previous matrix tested only the four shapes where the
successor wins, which is precisely why the regression shipped — a test set
selected to confirm the thesis.

Also corrected: a stale ADR sentence claiming a third wrong ledger version that
does not exist (the table it described now reads +3 over terms summing to +3),
and a changeset whose stated motivation was the false generated-copy conflict.

Verification runs on the remote runner.

Refs #3914

* fix(#3914): the exemption term was a no-op — the net is +4

Fourth correction to this ledger, and a fourth error of the same kind.

Every version counted removing the n/no-process-exit 'off' entry from the hooks
block as -1. Measured: calculateConfigForFile returns undefined for that rule on
hooks/**. It was never registered there, and no broader block sets it globally,
so the 'off' entry overrode nothing and removing it changed no enforcement at
all. A no-op removal, not a guard removal — the same category error as counting
baseline acknowledgement entries: a thing that is not a guard, in guard units.
It is misattributed too; that block came down in d98b55562 (#3910), already on
next before this branch existed.

So the epic added FOUR guards, not three.

This surfaced from a test of mine that overclaimed. I asserted n/no-process-exit
was error on "all nine CommonJS/hook globs" — but hooks is not one of the nine,
and the rule resolves to undefined there. Fixing the test to match reality is
what exposed the ledger term, which is the argument for tests that assert
identity rather than a comfortable shape.

The hooks state is now pinned explicitly rather than glossed: n/no-process-exit
unregistered, local/require-registered-exit error. It is mildly surprising and
therefore worth a test.

Also updates a pre-existing test that documented the old name-based-only
boundary as intentional. The computed-property strengthening deliberately moves
that boundary — process['exit'](0) was caught by NEITHER rule before — so the
test now asserts the new contract and cites the ADR, rather than being left to
fail or the rule weakened to satisfy it. A contract change should read as
deliberate in the test that pins it.

Verification runs on the remote runner.
