1e67ec9737 enhance(#3908): the scanners distinguish an empty diff from one they could not compute (#3937)
* feat(#3908): the scanners distinguish an empty diff from one they could not compute

collect_files ended 2>/dev/null || true, which destroyed the evidence three ways: the redirect discarded git's diagnostic, the pipe replaced git's status with grep's, and || true forced success regardless. Four distinct conditions - an established-empty diff, a bad ref, no repository, and a repository with no commits - all reported clean, and a secret scanner reporting clean because git failed is indistinguishable from an all-clear to any gate consuming it.

git now runs separately from the filter so its status and diagnostic both survive. An established-empty diff exits NO_INPUT; a scope that could not be established exits UNAVAILABLE; the usage sites move off 2 to USAGE. || true is retained on the filter alone, where it is correct: a diff of only images is empty, not failed.

Codes are sourced from a generated shell fragment rather than written into three scripts, so a re-allocation cannot desync them, and a missing fragment fails loudly instead of falling back to literals. The security workflow is updated in the same change: without it, a docs-only PR would newly fail the job.

* fix(#3908): keep scanner stderr out of the file list, and drop try/finally from test bodies

Capturing git and find output with 2>&1 was right for the failure path but wrong for the success path: a warning emitted alongside a successful diff flowed into the file list and was treated as a filename. stderr is now captured separately, forwarded as a warning on success and as the diagnostic on failure, and never folded into the list.

Also converts the control tests' try/finally blocks to t.after(), which CONTRIBUTING bans inside a test body because it masks failures.

* chore(#3908): backfill changeset pr number

* docs(#3908): record the scanners' four-outcome exit contract

SECURITY.md is root-level, so the docs gate correctly held: a Changed fragment owes a file under docs/. The contract also belongs where the feature is described, as REQ-SCAN-INJ-05.

docs/FEATURES.md is GENERATED from per-feature fragments (#3840) - the first edit went into the generated file and gen-features --check caught it, which is the same edit-the-output drift this epic exists to close. The fragment is the source; FEATURES.md is regenerated.

941b62249e enhance(#3906): two terminators over one registry, with a versioned exit projection (#3924)
* feat(#3906): two terminators over one registry, with a versioned projection

Adds terminateNow (write-then-terminate, for callers that cannot wait for the event loop) beside runMain (drain-then-exit), both projecting through one shared function so they cannot disagree - the parity the ADR makes mandatory. A failed write does not change the exit code: letting it propagate would fail a hook open, which is what the fail-closed branches exist to prevent.

The projection is versioned. v1 reproduces today's integers, including keeping a payload-carried degraded result at exit 0 - ADR-2980 ratified that across 60 sites and declined normalizing it on measured blast radius. v2 applies the registry. --exit-contract=v2 or GSD_EXIT_CONTRACT=v2 selects it; an unrecognized version throws rather than silently defaulting.

The registry is now emitted beside both copies of the exit module, so it resolves as a sibling in the built tree and in the committed scripts/ copy that must load on an unbuilt clone.

* fix(#3906): actually restrict code 2 to terminateNow, and generate the registry's type

The claim that terminateNow is the only place 2 can be produced was false: runMain's outcome arm applied no guard, so runMain(()=>'HOOK_DENY') set exitCode 2 through the drain path - and the parity matrix demonstrated it while calling it parity. runMain now refuses any outcome projecting to the hook-protocol code, gated on the code rather than the name so an alias cannot slip past, and the matrix asserts the restriction instead of contradicting it.

The ambient type for the generated registry was hand-written with no gate against the generator's actual output - the declared-surface-diverges-from-runtime defect class this epic exists to close, reintroduced inside it. It is now a third generated artifact covered by the same --check. Also converts every test-body try/finally to t.after().

* test(#3906): derive the glossary fixture's dependencies instead of hand-listing them

Adding a require to scripts/lib/cli-exit.cjs broke 31 tests in one suite that built its fixture from a hand-written dependency list, so the new sibling was absent and the copied script could not load. copyScriptWithDeps walks the require graph and exists for exactly this class - #3412 paid the same bill when one new require broke 82 tests across two suites. Migrating rather than adding another copyFileSync line keeps the class closed. The other nine suites referencing that path were triaged; none copies-and-spawns, so none needed migrating.

* fix(#3906): enumerate the new shipped file, drop a vendor name from shipped data, and fix three test defects

install: scripts/lib/exit-code-registry.cjs was missing from GSD_SCRIPTS_LIB_FILES, so it shipped to every install and orphaned on uninstall.

The registry gave HOOK_DENY a meaning naming one harness, and that string ships into every runtime's tree - a guard correctly caught it leaking into the hermes and qwen installs. The registry is runtime-neutral infrastructure; the vendor name belongs in the ADR, not in shipped data.

Two more fixture harnesses built their trees from hand-listed dependencies and broke on the new require; both migrated to the derived helper, and all 23 copy-and-spawn candidates were enumerated so the class is closed rather than patched. One generator test used a fixture code that collided with a real allocation, so the generator correctly reported a duplicate where the test expected drift. The large-payload test embedded a 256KB literal in the child's argv, exceeding Linux's 128KiB MAX_ARG_STRLEN so the child never started - it now builds the payload inside the child.

* chore(#3906): backfill changeset pr number

* docs(#3906): document the exit-code contract selector

P2 is the first phase of this epic with a user-invocable surface, so the flag and env var owe a reference entry. Records what actually differs between v1 and v2 today (one outcome), that an unrecognized value is rejected rather than silently defaulted, and the fail-safe property that makes switching safe.

878f25025c enhance(#3905): the exit-code registry — one number, one meaning, enforced at build (#3920)
* feat(#3905): the exit-code registry — one number, one meaning, enforced at build

A generated registry replaces locally-invented exit codes. Every entry records code, name, meaning, owning module and the decision that authorized it. The generator refuses to build a table where two entries claim one code, two claim one name, a code falls in a range Node or the shell reserves, 2 is claimed by anything but the hook adapter, or an allocation carries no justification. exitCodeFor is pure and total: it throws rather than returning undefined, including for prototype-chain names.

Inert by design — nothing emits a registered code until #3906. Every registered code is non-zero, asserted over the whole table, so a caller testing for failure behaves identically for pass and trips for everything else.

* feat(#3905): make the registry generator's failures machine-readable

Adds a --json mode carrying {ok, reason, context, detail}, where context is a typed payload naming the specifics the prose embedded - which code collided and under which names, which band rejected a code, which field was missing. The tests now assert on that structure instead of regex-matching the generator's stderr, which CONTRIBUTING prohibits, and the CONTEXT.md glossary gains the entry the issue's scope requires.

* test(#3905): refresh the install-tree fixtures for the new declaration

The registry declaration ships in the install tree, so all 19 golden fixtures needed regenerating. Caught by the remote matrix, not by lint:ci - the install-tree goldens are verified by a test rather than a lint, so a newly shipped file clears every local gate and fails only under the suite.

c933184b97 enhance(#3172): require a stated failing direction for every automated acceptance command (#3825)
* test(#3172): failing-first suite for the stated failing-direction probe

Pins the <fails_when> pairing walk, placeholder denylist, MISSING sentinel
exemption, degraded-read contract, CLI arm and the plan-authoring contract text.
RED by construction: the module exports it requires do not exist yet.
Executed on the remote runner.

* feat(#3172): require a stated failing direction for every automated acceptance command

Every runnable <automated> command now carries a <fails_when> sibling naming
what output constitutes failure. A command with no expressible failure mode is
not an acceptance test: it reads as rigour and is not falsifiable.

- verify-command-grounding gains a failing-direction probe sharing the existing
  <automated> grammar, MISSING sentinel and walk guard rather than copying them
- gsd-tools check verify-failure-directions <N> backs it; plan-phase dispatches
  it and hands the JSON to gsd-plan-checker check 8f
- Dimension 8 detail extracted to references to stay under the agent size cap

Verified on the remote runner.

* fix(#3172): close four review findings in the failing-direction probe

- MISSING_SENTINEL_RE matched an env-var assignment prefix (MISSING=1 cmd), so
  a real command was exempted from the new blocking gate. Tightened the SHARED
  constant rather than adding a second copy.
- Both token regexes scanned to EOF on unclosed openers (O(n^2), 1562ms at 40k).
  Bodies are now non-crossing; 1ms, byte-identical on well-formed input. The
  pre-existing AUTOMATED_BLOCK_RE carried the same defect and is fixed here too.
- probePhaseFailingDirections reported status 'ok' when one plan was unreadable,
  conflating 'could not look' with 'nothing to report'.
- Extracted the phase-resolution block both check arms had copied verbatim.

Also corrects a docs/AGENTS.md dimension list stale since #2401.
Verified on the remote runner.

* fix(#3172): project the planner rule onto the spawn contract, settle emitted bookkeeping

The remote runner refuted the planner-side edit. agents/gsd-planner.md is frozen
under a 49152-LF-char cap asserted by four suites and sat at 49,146 — six chars
of headroom — so the +537 of authoring rule blew it. #3297/#3645 already settled
where such a rule goes: the planner spawn contract in plan-phase.md, beside
<tracked_source_paths>. The agent file is reverted to origin/next verbatim.

- plan-phase.md gains <failing_direction_contract>; tests row 30 now asserts the
  contract there and row 30b guards the freeze in both directions
- plan-phase.md growth acknowledged by APPENDING to the 3409 fragment, per the
  precedent that two ack sources may never name the same path
- install-tree fixtures regenerated for the three new reference files

Verified on the remote runner.

14679b866b enhance(#2856): add default-off live-DOM UAT capability (#3716)
* test(#2856): add failing-first suite for the live-dom-uat capability

Binds the approved triage shape before any of it exists:

- containment — the execute:wave:post hook must not render unless
  workflow.live_dom_uat is true AND the capability resolves active
  (fail-closed on a missing state entry, and on a non-boolean value)
- criterion 4 — agents/gsd-executor.md carries no browser MCP family;
  asserted as an absence, which is the only way it is observable
- Hyrum guard — the pre-existing mcp__playwright__* branch must stay
  outside the key-gated block, or upgrading silently removes working
  automated UI verification for every current Playwright-MCP user
- parity — the browser glob list now lives in two surfaces (agent
  frontmatter + workflow detection block); the assertion fails if
  either gains or loses a family without the other

Red by construction: the capability, agent and workflow block do not
exist yet. Verified on the remote runner.

Refs #2856

* enhance(#2856): add default-off live-DOM UAT capability

A phase whose acceptance criteria needed a live DOM could not be
finished by the agent that executed it: gsd-executor carries no browser
tools, so it correctly returned checkpoint:human-action even though the
work was not human-only, just tool-less. Every such phase degraded to
"executed, then finished by hand in the orchestrator", and autonomous:
false could not distinguish "a human must judge this" from "the executor
lacks the tool".

Implements the shape approved at triage, not the one reported. The
executor's tools: line is NOT widened, in any configuration: for a
first-party agent the static list is the only control that exists
(ADR-1244 D2, ADR-857 D4, no per-dispatch override). Instead one
default-off capability owns the key, the agent, and the step:

- capabilities/live-dom-uat/ — activationKey workflow.live_dom_uat
  (boolean, default false), one additive step at execute:wave:post
  (onError: skip, gates: []), so it can never halt a wave
- agents/gsd-dom-verifier.md — the only GSD agent carrying browser MCP
  globs, in its own tools: line, with no Bash
- verify-work automated_ui_verification — a gsd:live-dom-families block
  naming both new families AND the key; presence alone never activates

Two independent fail-closed gates: isCapabilityActive renders a hook
only on state.active === true, plus the step's own `when`.

The pre-existing mcp__playwright__* branch keeps the gating it already
had and stays outside the new block. Pulling it behind a default-off key
would have silently removed working automated UI verification from every
current Playwright-MCP user on upgrade.

Also closes a host gap this surfaced: execute:wave:post dispatched only
contribution + gate, so ANY registered step was declared and silently
never run — exactly the single-kind hand-roll loop-hook-dispatch.md
names. Step 5.75 now dispatches every kind == "step".

The browser-profile lock is tolerated, not coordinated: --isolated is a
flag on the operator's own MCP-server registration that GSD neither
launches nor parameterizes, so the verifier reports could_not_look /
profile_locked, names the flag, and stops. DOM-VERIFY.md keeps
could_not_look and nothing_to_report distinct behind a closed reason
enum — collapsing them is the ambiguous-run-notes defect reported.

Verified on the remote runner.

Closes #2856

* fix(#2856): apply review findings from the orthogonal passes

Correctness pass (blocker):
- delete detectionBlockIsCrlfSafe. It was pass-always: it read the file,
  replaced LF with CRLF, then indexOf'd marker strings that contain no
  newline, so the replacement could not change the result and the
  assertion could never fail for the reason it stated. There is no real
  CRLF risk on this surface either — the gsd:live-dom-families block has
  no parser, only human and agent readers. Deleted rather than replaced,
  per the repo's pass-always-test rule.

Isolated security pass (two minors, both real):
- execute-phase.md step 5.75: this change is what first activates
  kind == "step" dispatch at execute:wave:post, which newly opens the
  ref.command shell path at that loop point. Our own step uses ref.agent
  and never touches it, but the door is now open, so the step-dispatch
  line carries the same in-context validate-before-shell warning the
  sibling gate-dispatch line directly below it already carries.
- gsd-dom-verifier: quoted page text in DOM-VERIFY.md is attacker
  influenced. Require it wrapped in inline code or a fence, kept short,
  and never left reading as a directive to the next reader.

Verified on the remote runner.

* fix(#2856): settle the new-agent roster ripple

Checkpoint 2 returned 28 failures, none in the new suite — all of them
the guards that exist to make adding an agent a deliberate act. Each is
a real boundary that had to move:

- docs/AGENTS.md: Tools row must copy the frontmatter verbatim (#2526),
  so the browser globs lose their backticks; primary-agent counts 21->22,
  roster 33/34->34/35, Verifiers category 1->2
- docs/INVENTORY.md: roster completeness requires every agents/gsd-*.md
  to be classified exactly once
- gsd-dom-verifier: add the anti-heredoc instruction and the commented
  hooks: frontmatter pattern both agent gates require
- gsd-core/bin/shared/model-catalog.json: every shipped agent needs a
  profile entry (#3229)
- copilot-install / kilo-upgrades / qwen-upgrades: expected agent list
  and the 34->35 roster boundary
- execute-wave-post-gate-pipeline-e2e: execute:wave:post legitimately
  carries one step now. Asserted as an exact shape — one step, capId
  live-dom-uat, ref.agent gsd-dom-verifier, onError skip — so it stays a
  real guard against accidental change rather than being relaxed

Two findings worth naming:

mcp-tool-inheritance (#2526) rejected the agent for documenting
mcp__playwright__* while its tools: line withholds it — a dead
instruction that invites the agent to claim a path it cannot take. The
prose now names the Playwright MCP family without the dispatchable
token, in both the agent and the capability fragment.

runtime-launcher-parity rejected the new gsd_run call: each fenced block
is its own shell, so a workflow step file invoking gsd_run needs its own
canonical preamble. Propagated with scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs.
That script also normalizes explore.md, which is unrelated pre-existing
drift the parity check tolerates, so it is reverted to keep this diff
scoped.

The emitted-drift ack supersedes the spent #3370 entry for
execute-phase.md — it is merged into next, so its ripple is absorbed at
the base and it can no longer clear anything. That is the same supersede
the #3370 entry itself performed on the spent #3324 fragment. Its
unrelated execute-plan.md entry is untouched.

Verified on the remote runner.

Refs #2856

* fix(#2856): drop the stale emitted-drift ack entry

The automated-ui-verification.md entry was written speculatively rather
than from a reported growth, and the check names that precisely: an ack
"written or reworded in THIS diff, but nothing here needed it, so it
explains nothing".

The growth tier keys on the bare filename as it appears under
gsd-core/workflows/ or agents/. automated-ui-verification.md is nested
under verify-work/steps/, so it was never in the tracked set — only
execute-phase.md was ever reported, both before and after the launcher
preamble landed.

Only ack what the check actually reports.

Verified on the remote runner.

Refs #2856

* chore(#2856): backfill changeset pr number

pr:0 -> 3716. The placeholder fails both changeset-lint

design and can only be resolved once the PR number exists. Both now
report ok against GITHUB_BASE_REF=next.

79781e68eb enhance(#2401): ground verify-command paths and inherit prior-phase commands (#3678)
* feat(#2401): ground <automated> verify-command paths and inherit prior-phase commands

Adds a deterministic resolvability probe over each PLAN.md <automated> verify
command and surfaces the nearest prior phase's proven commands to the planner
at every context window.

- src/verify-command-grounding.cts: recognizer (not a shell interpreter) that
  grounds a leading cd <literal> chain and npm --prefix <literal>, and reports
  unresolvable rather than guessing. Never executes command text.
- gsd-tools check verify-command-paths <N>: per-phase probe, wired into
  plan-phase.md before the plan-check pass.
- init.plan-phase gains prior_verify_commands, ungated by context_window.
- gsd-plan-checker: new Verify Command Path Resolvability dimension that
  reports the failing target and never prescribes a replacement.

Also fixes first-match-wins prefix bucketing in scripts/lint-test-file-count.cjs
(readdir order is not stable across platforms, so a module whose name extends
another's with a hyphen bucketed differently on Linux than on macOS).

Closes #2401

* fix(#2401): ground the canonical --prefix form, quoted paths, and absolute cd resets

Independent review found three defects in the recognizer:

- npm --prefix DIR run SCRIPT never reached the script-existence check,
  because the pattern required npm and run to be adjacent. That is the
  form the docs tell planners to prefer, so script_missing never fired
  for it. The prefix flag and its value are now stripped before matching.
- --prefix captured with \S+, so a quoted path containing a space was
  truncated to a stray opening quote and reported as a missing directory
  - a false blocker, worse than the bug this feature fixes. The capture
  is now quote-aware.
- A chained cd whose later segment was absolute concatenated instead of
  resetting, producing a nonsense path and another false blocker. The
  fold now resets on an absolute segment.

Also replaces the bespoke phase-directory regex with the canonical
phase-id helpers. Real phase directories are NN-slug, not phase-N-slug,
so the prior-command harvest matched nothing outside its own fixtures
and the planner-inheritance half of this feature was dead code.

* refactor(#2401): source task blocks from the canonical sectionizer

The module carried its own copy of the <task>-block grammar - a fourth
hand-rolled mirror of the one markdown-sectionizer owns. verify.cts keeps
its copy only because it needs the type= attribute the canonical helper
discards; this module never reads that attribute, so it can share the
owner outright instead of adding a test around a copy.

extractAutomatedCommands now takes task bodies from extractTaggedBlocks
and the out-of-task remainder from stripTaggedBlocks. A task-grammar
parity test pins the attributed task-name set against the canonical
helper across six awkward task shapes.

* fix(#2401): extract agent-file overflow to references and repair the property arbitrary

The remote matrix run came back red with 19 failures, four root causes:

- agents/gsd-plan-checker.md and agents/gsd-planner.md both blew the
  49152 agent cap. Their bodies move to gsd-core/references/, leaving
  @-reference stubs, per the documented overflow pattern.
- The new checker dimension invoked gsd_run before the canonical
  preamble that defines it. The call is deleted outright: plan-phase.md
  already runs the probe and hands the result in as {VERIFY_PATHS}, so
  the dimension consumes that rather than re-running anything.
- fc.fullUnicodeString does not exist in fast-check 4.8.0. Replaced with
  fc.string({ unit: 'binary' }), which covers the same 0000-10FFFF range.
- Three runtime-loaded files grew; acknowledged in the existing ack
  fragments that already own those bare filenames, since two ack sources
  may never name the same path.

* test(#2401): regenerate golden install-tree fixtures for the new references

Adding two files under gsd-core/references/ changes what the installer
emits into every runtime's tree, so all 19 golden install-parity
fixtures went stale. Regenerated with npm run gen:install-tree; the
delta is exactly the two new reference paths per runtime, no removals.

* chore(#2401): backfill changeset pr number to 3678

* fix(#2401): treat ~ as a home expansion only at the start of a path

Windows CI caught this on both shards; the Linux-only remote matrix
cannot see it. The dynamic-path refusal rejected ~ anywhere, and a
GitHub Windows runner's tmpdir is an 8.3 short name -
C:\Users\RUNNER~1\AppData\Local\Temp - so a valid absolute Windows
path came back unresolvable/dynamic_path.

This was a production bug, not a test artifact: any Windows user whose
project path carries an 8.3 short name, or any literal ~, silently lost
the probe entirely - every command degrading to unresolvable with no
explanation.

~ is a home expansion only at the start of a path; elsewhere it is an
ordinary literal. The check is now split: $, backtick, *, ? and newline
stay refused anywhere (substitution and globs, and the glob characters
are illegal in Windows path components regardless), while ~ is refused
only leading, tolerating one leading quote since the check runs before
quote stripping.

The prior tests only caught this on Windows because only Windows puts a
~ in tmpdir. Four new tests pin it on every platform via a fixture
directory literally named RUNNER~1.

c5b83cb050 chore(#3560): delete two unreachable workflows, gate workflow reachability in lint (#3564)
* chore(#3560): delete two unreachable workflows, gate reachability in lint

discovery-phase.md and plan-milestone-gaps.md shipped to all 19 runtime
install trees with no command, agent, or skill referencing them.
plan-milestone-gaps' command was deleted by #2790 and the workflow was
left behind; discovery-phase's own header claimed a caller in
plan-phase.md's mandatory_discovery step, and that step does not exist —
plan-phase.md contains zero occurrences of "discovery".

docs/INVENTORY.md asserted discovery-phase.md was an alternate entry for
/gsd-new-project. new-project.md never referenced it. The row and the
matching note sentence are removed across all five locales rather than
corrected.

Adds rule 6 to lint-command-contract: every shipped workflow must be
reachable from a loader, walking the transitive closure over the three
reference shapes this repo uses. The closure seeds ONLY from
commands/agents/skills, so a workflow that references only itself and a
pair that reference only each other are both correctly reported rather
than satisfying themselves; a visited set makes reference cycles
terminate. The measure is a mention in a LOADER — docs/ and install-tree
fixtures deliberately do not count, because scan.md proved a file can be
documented and shipped while entirely unreached.

Ships blocking, not report-only: #3561 is in this branch's base, so the
tree reports 0 unreachable from the start.

Closes #3560

* test(#3560): drive rule 6 end-to-end, sweep a stale allowlist, update ADR-0002

Review findings.

Rule 6 had no end-to-end coverage: the tests exercised the pure closure
with in-memory data, so the wiring — file collection, exit code,
diagnostic — was unproven, and #3560's acceptance list explicitly wants
a fixture showing the rule FAILS on a planted orphan. Adds an optional
--root to lint-command-contract (default behavior unchanged) and four
tests driving the real CLI through the process seam against a temp
fixture: clean=0, planted orphan=1, orphan referenced only from docs/=1,
orphan reachable transitively=0. The docs/ case is what pins the
Goodhart defense — a mention outside a loader must not confer
reachability.

Deletes two tests that were byte-identical to a third and could not
assert anything loader-specific, since the closure is source-agnostic by
design; that distinction lives in the lint script's file collection and
is now covered above.

Removes a stale ALLOWLIST entry for discovery-phase.md in
planner-language-regression — the exact sweep-miss class rule 6 exists
to catch, found in the PR that adds the rule.

ADR-0002 described five per-file frontmatter checks; rule 6 is a

* test(#3560): cut the bug-3298 test pin on the deleted plan-milestone-gaps workflow

The remote runner went red with four failures: tests/phase.test.cjs
asserted the plan-milestone-gaps workflow exists and checked its mkdir
patterns, so deleting the file broke the test that pinned it. This is the
fence the epic describes — the content-sync test IS what keeps an
unreachable file alive — and cutting the coupling is what makes the
deletion safe.

Removes only that arm. The bug-3298 block guards three workflows against
phase-dir prefix drift; the import and add-backlog arms and both shared
mkdir-pattern helpers are untouched.

Worth recording where the sweep failed: my reachability walk covered
commands, agents, skills, gsd-core and docs, and lint-removed-but-needed
covers .github/workflows, gsd-core, docs and package.json. Neither looks
at tests/, so a test-pinned deletion is invisible to both and surfaces
only on the remote runner. The how-to added by this PR names that gap
explicitly so the next deletion searches tests/ by hand.

7976b1ca0d feat(#1689): per-plan agent_hint executor routing (#3417)
* feat(#1689): per-plan agent_hint executor routing

Option A per-plan specialist routing: a plan with an `agent_hint:` frontmatter field is dispatched to that subagent instead of gsd-executor when it resolves on the active runtime; absent/unresolved/disabled falls back to gsd-executor (byte-identical). Default-on via workflow.agent_hint_routing.

- src/phase.cts: parse agent_hint into the plan-index JSON (plan_json.agent_hint)
- agent-install-check.cts: resolveAgentHint() reuses getAgentsDir + runtime filename variants; probes project + global agent dirs; fails closed; rejects path-traversing names
- gsd-tools.cjs: 'resolve-agent' query route (fail-closed to gsd-executor; --raw/--json)
- execute-phase.md: lean per-plan reference + {EXECUTOR_TYPE} placeholder (host stays under the ADR-857 Phase 6 byte ceiling)
- execute-phase/steps/per-plan-executor-routing.md: resolution logic (Agent()-based dispatch; advisory on orchestrator-worktree)
- config: workflow.agent_hint_routing (validKey, default-on via SCHEMA_DEFAULTS, boolean validator)
- docs (CONFIGURATION.md, plan-md.md), changeset, tests/agent-hint-routing-1689.test.cjs (17 tests)

* chore(#1689): backfill changeset PR number (#3417)

* chore(#1689): regenerate install-tree fixtures for new workflow fragment

* chore(#1689): ack deliberate execute-phase.md growth (agent_hint routing)

* test(#1689): SPAWN contract allows parameterized subagent_type placeholder

agent-frontmatter's spawn-type checks scanned subagent_type="..." as a
concrete agent name. execute-phase now uses subagent_type="{EXECUTOR_TYPE}"
(a runtime placeholder resolved via resolve-agent, default gsd-executor).
Skip {TOKEN} placeholders in both the known-type and <available_agent_types>
checks; execute-phase still lists the built-in roster incl. gsd-executor.

* fix(#1689): CI conformance for the routing fragment

- per-plan-executor-routing.md: add the canonical runtime-launcher preamble to
  its gsd_run block (runtime-launcher-parity #373), matching sibling step fragments.
- agent-install-check.cts: drop a literal ~/.claude/agents path from the
  resolveAgentHint JSDoc so it does not leak into the compiled engine .cjs
  (cline install leak guard).

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

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

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

* fix(#2652): use the /gsd:<cmd> namespace in the isolation degrade messages

The degrade warnings cited /gsd-execute-phase, the retired hyphen form that
slash-command-namespace.test.cjs rejects in Claude-facing source. Same length,
so the quick.md size budget is unaffected.

* fix(#2652): normalize dispatch-site paths to forward slashes for Windows

path.relative() returns backslash-separated paths on Windows, so the
#2652 dispatch-site parity test compared "gsd-core\workflows\quick.md"
against the hardcoded forward-slash literal "gsd-core/workflows/quick.md"
and failed on every windows-latest CI lane. Normalize with
.replace(/\\/g, '/'), matching the existing convention used elsewhere in
this suite (e.g. tests/branch-no-track-guard.test.cjs:37).

* test(#2652): restore the size-growth acknowledgment

The rebase dropped tests/emitted-drift-ack.json. #2757/#2758 fixed the
ATTRIBUTION axis, but the SIZE-GROWTH axis is independent: diagnose-issues.md
(+2086) and quick.md (+230) still need an ack naming them and saying why.

Verified: 65/66 without it (both files named), 66/66 with it.

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

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

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

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

while the area was open.

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

Two bookkeeping gaps flagged in review:

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

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

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

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

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

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

execute-plan.md joins the scan's required-identities list now that it is a
converted dispatch site.

* test(#2652): repin the execute-plan.md PROSE_ALLOWLIST line after the rebase

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

Fixes #2652

* fix(#2652): gate the #2649 base-check on ISOLATION in diagnose-issues.md

The rebase onto next merged #2649's pre-dispatch base-check textually, but
its degrade flipped USE_WORKTREES after ISOLATION was already resolved, so
the degrade never reached the dispatch decision. Gate the block on
ISOLATION = "harness-worktree" and degrade ISOLATION itself, the same
pairing quick.md already uses.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(#2652): restore next's 2658 ack fragment, minus the one colliding key

trek-e (PR #2728, 2026-08-07): the branch deleted
tests/emitted-drift-acks/2658-trae-instruction-file-path.json wholesale
while next had modified it. That was correct against the 08-03 base, where
the fragment was fully spent; it is wrong against next @ 1d208e5a, which
still carries 23 live entries.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #2652

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #2652

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

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

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

Refs #2652

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #2652

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

Round-8 review findings.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #2652

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

4b69dc346b fix(#2725): repoint the pre-commit alias guard at sources git can actually stage, drop nine dead ones (#3273)
* test(#2725): failing-first coverage for the inert pre-commit alias guard

Replaces two stale tests that asserted on `sdk/src/query/command-manifest.phase.ts`
— a path retired with the SDK boundary (ADR-0174), so both passed forever while
guarding nothing.

The new matrix drives .githooks/pre-commit through its GIT_OVERRIDE/NPM_OVERRIDE
seams and asserts on the real tracked sources the drift checker reads. Red until
the guard is repointed off the gitignored build outputs it currently watches.

* fix(#2725): repoint the pre-commit alias guard at sources git can actually stage

`.githooks/pre-commit` carried ten staged-path guards and not one of them could
do its job.

Nine anchored on `^sdk/…`, a tree retired by ADR-0174, and invoked npm scripts
that no longer exist (`check:state-document-fresh` and eight siblings). Their
only reachable behavior was to abort the commit with `Missing script` — which
required matching a path that cannot exist, so they were dead twice over.

The tenth was the real defect. Its npm target does exist, but it matched
`^gsd-core/bin/lib/command-aliases\.cjs$` — a gitignored build output
(.gitignore:172). An ignored path never appears in `git diff --cached
--name-only`, so the guard was not stale, it was structurally unmatchable: it
watched the derived layer instead of the source layer, from the day it was
written.

Repointed at the nine tracked `src/*.cts` sources `scripts/check-alias-drift.cjs`
actually reads. The family table moves to `scripts/lib/alias-drift-families.cjs`
so the checker and the hook derive their surface from one list, and a new parity
test fails if a family is added to the checker without the hook learning to watch
its source — the rot mechanism, not just this instance of it.

Matching is now `grep -Fxqf` (fixed strings, whole line): exact path equality,
no regex anchors to get wrong as the list grows. Staged paths are collected into
a variable before matching, because `grep -q` exits on first match and would
SIGPIPE its upstream, which under `set -o pipefail` turns a successful match into
a non-zero pipeline status.

The two CONTRIBUTING.md recipes pasted copies of the hook bodies inline — a third
parallel surface, and one that had already drifted: the pre-commit copy carried
the same dead `sdk/` patterns, and the pre-push copy would have overwritten the
committed hook with a paraphrase that drops the GIT_OVERRIDE seam its test drives.
Both now just point git at the committed files. The pre-push recipe's
`'@example-corp\\.com$'` also never matched anything — inside single quotes bash
keeps both backslashes.

`.githooks/pre-push` was audited for the same rot and has none: it keys on no
paths, no-ops unless GSD_BLOCKED_AUTHOR_REGEX is set, and is covered. Unchanged.

Hooks stay opt-in. Nothing registers `core.hooksPath` for you, per
CONTRIBUTING.md's documented one-time setup.

* test(#2725): make the hook/checker parity assertion bidirectional

Review finding from the isolated adversarial pass: the parity row only caught
the hook UNDER-watching relative to scripts/lib/alias-drift-families.cjs. Drop a
family from the module and the hook would keep watching its source with nothing
to notice — the same divergence class this change exists to close, just pointed
the other way.

The new row takes every `src/*-command-router.cts` on disk as the universe and
asserts the hook stays silent for the eight routers the drift check does not
read. Both directions are now covered by running the real hook, not by comparing
two lists in the test.

Also corrects a CONTRIBUTING.md overclaim caught by the standards pass: 9 of the
11 watched paths derive from the module, not all 11 — bash cannot require a CJS
module, so the hook carries literals and the test is what binds them.

* fix(#2725): ship the shared family table and fix the mock that hid its own rows

Three defects the remote runner caught that local probing did not.

The mock `git` in the regression test emitted its staged-path payload as
`printf '%s' "src/command-aliases.cts\n"`. Bash does not expand `\n` inside a
double-quoted string and printf does not expand escapes in a `%s` argument, so
the mock produced one unterminated line containing a literal backslash-n. No
whole-line match could ever succeed, and every row that expects the hook to FIRE
failed while every row that expects silence passed — which is exactly the
signature the run reported: 9 failures, all of them fire-expecting rows. The
payload now goes through a file the mock `cat`s, which is byte-exact and is what
makes the CR-terminated and empty-staged-list rows mean what they say.

`scripts/lib/alias-drift-families.cjs` was not enumerated in
`GSD_SCRIPTS_LIB_FILES` (bin/install.js:377), so the installer never copied it.
That is not cosmetic: `scripts/check-alias-drift.cjs` ships, and it now requires
this module — an installed tree would have failed with MODULE_NOT_FOUND the
first time a consumer ran `check:alias-drift`. Added to the manifest, which is
what the #3184 install/uninstall parity tests assert against `readdirSync`.

Regenerated the 19 committed install-tree fixtures via `npm run gen:install-tree`
to record the new emitted path. The diff is +1 line per fixture and nothing else.

`npm run lint:ci` exits 0. The earlier claim that `scripts/` is outside the
emitted surface was wrong: `scripts/lib/` is copied into every runtime's install
tree, which is why 19 golden-install-tree cases moved.

* test(#3184): failing-first milestone-window single-owner suite

Covers the 50 input classes in the phase test matrix: scope classification
(genuinely-empty vs truncated vs unscoped vs unreadable), the section-end
owner's level boundaries, consumer-output identity per ADR-3180 Decision 4(c),
the milestone.complete refusal with negative proof that no directory moved,
the version-token boundary defect, drift-guard behavior, and three fast-check
properties over document-shaped generators.

Committed alone so the remote runner records the failure before the fix lands.

* refactor(#3184): milestone windowing routes through one owner

Three copies of the milestone section-end walk lived in roadmap-parser.cts —
two distinct computeSectionEnd function nodes plus an inline third in
getMilestonePhaseFilter's versionOverride branch. computeMilestoneSectionEnd is
now the sole owner and the other two are deleted, not kept in sync by comment.

The whole-repo drift guard found what the epic did not: state.cts held three
more re-derivations of the same vocabulary — two byte-identical milestone
bounding checks carrying a defect neither reported copy has (no boundary after
the version token, so v2.0 matched inside v2.0.1), and a milestone-sectioning
predicate. All three route through the owner now.

A composition-level duplicate appeared inside this change's own first pass:
getMilestonePhaseFilter and cmdMilestoneComplete each re-assembled a window out
of the owner's primitives, and had already diverged on whether to skip a closed
milestone heading. sliceMilestoneWindow is the one composition.

Windows now carry the ADR-3180 SCOPE discriminator, so a truncated window is
distinguishable from a genuinely empty milestone — those were output-identical,
which is the whole failure class. roadmap analyze emits it (#3165), and
milestone complete refuses to archive on anything but COMPLETE rather than
pass-all moving every phase directory on disk (#3166). The pass-all degrade is
preserved where its premise holds: making the filter deny-all would trade a
silent over-inclusive answer for a silent under-inclusive one on the read paths
that count with it.

extractCurrentMilestone keeps its signature — 200+ affected symbols across 41
files and 25 process flows — and is a one-line wrapper over the scoped owner.

* fix(#3184): fence-aware phase detection and one heading-selection owner

Review fixes from the two orthogonal passes.

The blocker: hasPhaseEntries matched ATX phase headings fence-aware via
tokenizeHeadings but tested the #2199 bullet form against un-stripped markdown,
so a fenced EXAMPLE of the bullet syntax counted as a real phase. A genuinely
empty milestone then classified TRUNCATED and milestone complete refused a
legitimate archive — a false positive in the destructive direction, worse than
the defect this phase set out to fix. Both that path and getMilestonePhaseFilter
own pre-existing bullet scan now run on stripFencedCode, since leaving one meant
the owner file gave two different answers to the same question.

The selection rule — locate, prefer the non-closed heading, else the first — had
been written three more times inside the file whose thesis is single ownership.
selectMilestoneHeading owns it; all three sites route through it. The copies were
behaviorally identical, so this is de-duplication with no observable change,
verified by probing that all three paths select the same heading.

roadmap analyze emitting a scope no consumer read left #3165's actual symptom
alive, so Route 0 in next.md now treats a non-complete scope as scan-failed
rather than as a clean empty scan, and the ADR amendment no longer overstates
what shipped.

Also: the scope refusal moved above the archive-directory create, so a refusal
leaves nothing on disk; the versionOverride comment names all four consumers;
COMMANDS.md documents the new guard beside its sibling.

* test(#2658): exclude the changelog from the malformed-path scan

The gate walks every emitted .md/.js/.cjs file in an installed tree and asserts
none contains `.claude/.trae/rules` or `.trae/.trae/rules`. CHANGELOG.md ships
into that tree, and its #2658 entry quotes both malformed paths while describing
the fix that removed them — so the release note documenting the fix trips the
fix's own regression test. Red on next before this branch.

The installer is correct: a probe over a real --trae --local install found 621
emitted files, exactly one hit, and it was gsd-core/CHANGELOG.md. The scan scope
was the defect, not the product.

Excluded by exact relative path rather than by loosening the patterns or skipping
all markdown — the emitted agent and command markdown is precisely what #2658 was
about, so the gate stays strong everywhere it matters.

* test(#3184): regenerate install-tree fixtures for the shared drift scanner

scripts/lib/ ships in the npm package and installer, so extracting the shared
tree-walk into scripts/lib/drift-scan.cjs adds one path to every runtime's
install tree. Regenerated via npm run gen:install-tree; the delta is exactly
that one path per fixture.

The two drift guards themselves do not ship (scripts/lint-*.cjs is excluded),
so only the extracted library moves. This matches the existing
scripts/lib/allowlist-ratchet.cjs precedent, which is likewise a lint-only
helper carried in the shipped tree.

* fix(#3184): restore the #730 sub-milestone boundary and narrow the refusal

The remote runner caught two regressions this branch introduced. Both were mine,
and neither review pass found them — only running the existing suite did.

The version-token boundary. I replaced locateMilestoneHeadings' \b with
(?![\w.-]), reasoning that v2.0 matching inside v2.0.1 was the same defect #2562
fixed in isMilestoneShippedInRoadmap. It is not the same question. A milestone
state of v8.0 legitimately selects the '## v8.0-B' sub-milestone section over a
closed v8.0-A sibling (#730), and \b is what allows it while the stricter
boundary forbids it — nine tests in roadmap-phase-fallback said so. Reverted to
\b; the state.cts consolidation is now a straight merge with no behavior change,
and the v2.0/v2.0.1 ambiguity is left exactly as it was. The ADR amendment and
the design doc no longer claim otherwise.

The refusal scope. I refused whenever the window was not COMPLETE, but #3166 is
about the TRUNCATED window specifically — the heading is found and the section
closes before the phase region, so pass-all archives everything. UNREADABLE and
UNSCOPED are pre-existing, legitimately handled states, and refusing on them
broke 'handles missing ROADMAP.md gracefully' and three archive tests. Narrowed
to TRUNCATED; docs corrected to match.

One of the new tests was also wrong: its fixture gave the shipped and current
milestones' phases the same numeric id, and the filter matches on that id, so it
could not have distinguished the two windows. Fixture corrected to exercise what
it claims to.

* fix(#3184): enumerate drift-scan.cjs for uninstall

The installer copies scripts/lib/ wholesale, but uninstall removes an explicit
set — deliberately, so a user's own helpers in that directory survive. The
extracted drift-scan.cjs was copied in and never enumerated, so it outlived
uninstall, left the directory non-empty, and the rmdir that follows failed.

Added to GSD_SCRIPTS_LIB_FILES, following allowlist-ratchet.cjs, which is
likewise a lint-only helper that ships there and is enumerated. Verified with a
real install-then-uninstall into a temp target: scripts/lib/ held exactly the
three GSD files and was gone afterwards.

* test(#3184): assert install and uninstall agree on scripts/lib and scripts/changeset

Found while shipping this phase, and fixed here rather than noted.

install() copies scripts/lib/ and scripts/changeset/ into the target WHOLESALE —
the comment at the copy site literally says "and any future lib helpers".
uninstall() removes them by hardcoded enumeration, deliberately, so a user's own
helpers in those directories survive. A wholesale writer paired with an
enumerated remover cannot stay in sync by construction: any file added to either
directory ships to every user and is then orphaned in their repo forever, since
it survives uninstall, leaves the directory non-empty, and the rmdir that follows
fails. Nothing reported this. 31,225 tests were green over it.

That is the same divergence class this epic exists to delete, sitting in the
installer, so it gets the same remedy CLAUDE.md prescribes for it: a parity
assertion that fails the moment the two surfaces disagree. The test compares each
directory's real contents against its enumeration and names the offending file
plus the constant to add it to.

Both enumerations are hoisted to module scope and exported, so the test asserts
on the actual arrays rather than pattern-matching the installer's source — no
allow-test-rule annotation needed. Proven non-vacuous both ways: empty diff on
the current tree, correct report when an unenumerated file is injected.

scripts/changeset/ turned out to carry the identical defect and is covered too.

ed360cd99f chore(#2995): extend fragment emission to agents/ and reclaim size-cap headroom (#3058)
* feat(#2995): extend fragment emission to agents/ across every read point

Epic #1671 Phase 6.4. `composeWorkflow` stripped `<!-- gsd:section -->` markers
only for `gsd-core/workflows/`, so a marked agent shipped its markers verbatim
into every runtime — and agent text is loaded into a subagent's context on every
dispatch.

The issue proposed widening the `copyWithPathReplacement` guard. That is a no-op
for agents: agents never traverse that function. Agent content is read for
emission at five independent points, and the obvious chokepoint
`stageAgentsForProfile` short-circuits on the DEFAULT `full` profile
(`skills === '*'` returns the real unstaged directory), so a hook placed there is
dead code on most installs.

Composition now happens at two call sites instead of five parallel surfaces:
`stageAgentsForRuntimeWithConverter` (with `agentsKind` and `kimiAgentsKind`
routed through it via an identity converter) and the inline agent loop in
bin/install.js. Both compose BEFORE any path rewrite, so a `.claude/` ->
`.windsurf/` regex can never reach inside a marker attribute — the ordering
#2930 established for workflows.

`installCodexConfig` was the fifth read point: Codex embeds each agent's prompt
into a per-agent `.toml` via its own readFileSync. Call-graph analysis missed it;
the exhaustive per-runtime emission sweep found it. That is why the new guard is
behavioral rather than structural — a sixth read point fails the sweep without
anyone remembering to extend a list.

tests/agent-fragments-emission.install.test.cjs spawns a real installer for every
runtime at every agent-bearing scope, derived from RUNTIME_META and the
capability registry at run time so a new runtime cannot be silently
under-covered. It asserts markers are absent AND the `when="always"` body is
retained, so marker-absence cannot be satisfied by dropping content. An
identity-composer negative control proves the assertion can fail.

Verified: 0 install failures, 0 marker leaks, body retained on 27 runtime/scope
paths; red before the wiring on claude(global+local), zcode(global+local),
kimi, codex and opencode.

Refs #2995

* chore(#2995): give the tightest agents headroom and correct the design lock

Epic #1671 Phase 6.4, second half.

`agents/gsd-verifier.md` had 12 bytes of headroom under its 49,152-byte LARGE
cap and `agents/gsd-debugger.md` had 147 under its 57,344-byte XL cap. Both now
extract reference material to `gsd-core/references/` behind an @-reference — the
documented DEFECT.AGENT-FILE-SIZE-CAP-BREACH remedy:

  gsd-verifier  49,140 -> 46,371 B   headroom    12 -> 2,781
  gsd-debugger  57,197 -> 48,851 B   headroom   147 -> 8,493

Byte accounting proves no content was lost: the combined agent+reference delta
is exactly the new files' headers plus the agents' slim replacement blocks. Each
agent keeps its routing table and a one-line summary per entry, so it degrades
gracefully on a runtime that does not inline @-references.

`agents/gsd-planner.md` is untouched and still passes both char guards
(49,130 < 49,152); it needed no change, so it took none.

The other nine LARGE/XL agents carry NO gsd:section markers, and that is
deliberate, not deferred. `when=` selection is read from
gsd-core/workflows/section-manifest.json, which gen-section-manifest.cjs derives
from gsd-core/workflows/*.md only — shape `{workflows: ...}`, no per-agent key,
no per-agent init entry point. An agent atom therefore fails admission gate (2)
("a fact the init seam demonstrably computes at a real entry point") and would
evaluate false forever while looking like working gating. Marking agents would
manufacture exactly the silent-inertness rot the frozen vocabulary exists to
prevent.

ADR-1671 gains three amendments, two of which close gaps /adr-phase-coverage
found against what actually merged:

  - The 19 -> 29 vocabulary widening shipped in #2994 with no coordinated ADR
    amendment, which that bullet's own rule forbids. Recorded now.
  - `flag:--verify-only` was one of six atoms #2992 withheld and deferred to
    "the LARGE/XL rollout phase". Five shipped; this one is permanently
    rejected, and that disposition lived only in a merged PR body.
  - Phase 6.4's own finding: emission extends to agents/, gating does not.

CONTEXT.md's glossary was stale on both seams — Workflow Fragments Module still
listed the original 4-atom vocabulary and described when= as "not yet acted on",
and Section Manifest Module still described InvocationFacts as
{waveFlag, phaseNumber, hasPriorPhases}. Both now match the shipped contract.

Inventory manifest regenerated AFTER build:lib per the documented ordering
landmine; 19 install-tree fixtures pick up the two new references.

Refs #2995

* chore(#2995): correct the compose-site count and mark the raw stager

Self-review found two comment defects in the prior commit. The agentsKind
comment claimed composition lands at TWO call sites; it is three, since
installCodexConfig's per-agent .toml writer was added after that comment was
written. And stageAgentsForProfile is now production-dead — both callers route
through the composing stager — while staying exported and unit-tested, which
makes it a trap: it does a raw copyFileSync and short-circuits to the unstaged
source directory under the default profile, so a future caller would silently
reintroduce the marker-shipping path. Its JSDoc now says so.

* test(#2995): guard the marker-documenting-doc class for agents

Widening the composer's scope to agents/ makes reachable the exact class #2930
narrowed scope to avoid: a file that DOCUMENTS the marker syntax with an
unfenced example is indistinguishable from a real marker, so the composer drops
that line from the emitted artifact.

Three rows. A fenced example must compose byte-identically. No shipped agent may
carry a marker outside a fence — asserted by parsing every real agent and
requiring zero explicit sections, which is what makes the fence protection
load-bearing rather than decorative. And a non-vacuity row asserts an UNFENCED
marker IS parsed as a real marker, so if that ever stops being true the second
row is guarding nothing.

Also applies two review findings: stageAgentsForProfile's new JSDoc claimed it
had no production caller, which is false — bin/install.js's _stageAgents still
calls it, and its consumers compose before writing. Corrected to state the
invariant instead. And a let/const nit in the emission sweep.

* fix(#2995): keep verifier status vocabulary in the agent, fix a wrong fixture

The first remote run came back red with three failures. Both root causes were
mine.

1. tests/agent-frontmatter.test.cjs requires agents/gsd-verifier.md to literally
   contain HOLLOW and DISCONNECTED. The Step 4b extraction moved that status
   vocabulary into gsd-core/references/verifier-wiring-patterns.md, so the agent
   no longer had it.

   Byte accounting said no content was lost, and byte-wise that was true — but a
   contract required those tokens to live IN THE AGENT. That is ADR-1671:66's
   flexReserve floor stated concretely: a load-bearing fragment must not be
   trimmed out of its host, and "the bytes still exist somewhere" is not the
   test. The two status tables are restored to the agent and deliberately
   mirrored in the reference with a note saying so, so the procedure there still
   reads standalone. gsd-verifier lands at 47,069 B — headroom 12 -> 2,083,
   rather than the 2,781 the first attempt claimed.

2. Row 12b of the new marker-documentation guard asserted that an unfenced
   marker example parses as a real marker, and threw instead:
   "unmatched /gsd:section close marker". The grammar is WHOLE-LINE only. The
   fixture had put the OPEN marker inline mid-sentence, so it was correctly not
   recognised as an open while the close, on its own line, was.

   That is a real refinement of the hazard this guard exists for: only a marker
   on its OWN line is mis-parsed — which is exactly how a documentation example
   is normally written. Row 12b now uses a whole-line marker, and a new row 12c
   pins the inline case as explicitly NOT a marker.

No test was weakened to accommodate the change; the change was corrected to
satisfy the tests.

ff4a57b78c chore(#1671): migrate the remaining 13 LARGE/XL workflows to the fragment model — Phase 6.3 (#3030)
* chore(#2994): fragmentize progress.md forensic audit onto the fragment model

Extract the --forensic-gated forensic_audit step to
workflows/progress/steps/forensic-audit.md behind a section marker, and
repair progress.md's init line to forward --forensic so the atom is
actually true in production rather than only under direct CLI tests.

progress.md shrinks 32630 -> 27207 bytes.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize the four manifest-wired workflows

new-project, quick, new-milestone and progress each already had a
dedicated cmdInit* entry point but zero marked sections. Extract nine
gated bodies to workflows/<wf>/steps/ behind section markers and repair
each init line to forward its flags.

Fold --full into the discuss/research/validate facts inside cmdInitQuick
so the when= grammar never sees an OR, per the chunked-mode precedent.

Fixes found while working, per the no-defer rule:
- cmdInitProgress passed no phase info to buildSectionManifestField, so
  state:phase-mvp-mode was permanently false — an atom in the vocabulary
  whose fact could never be computed.
- the quick init router folded flag tokens into the free-text
  description, which the new forwarding would have corrupted.
- a #2508 dispatch note was nested inside quick.md's Agent(prompt=)
  fence, leaking orchestrator guidance into the subagent prompt.
- progress.md had a 3-vs-4 backtick outer-fence imbalance.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize verify-work.md and admit state:ui-phase-active

Wire cmdInitVerifyWork to buildSectionManifestField — it was a dedicated
entry point that never emitted a manifest — and mark two sections.

state:ui-phase-active folds (plan:pre hooks include an active ui step) OR
(the phase dir holds a *-UI-SPEC.md) into one boolean in init.cts, so the
grammar still sees a single operator-free atom. The inner Playwright-MCP
check stays as prose inside the fragment: it is live session state and no
init seam can precompute it.

The MVP false-branch note is a real fallback, not redundant prose, so it
sits outside the marker — gating it away would delete the text needed
precisely when MVP mode is off.

* test(#2994): follow moved workflow content in drift guards

Retarget every guard that asserted on content this branch moved into
workflows/<wf>/steps/, mirroring 815b3d897. Each retargeted assertion was
verified to still fail when its step file is blanked, so none was
weakened into vacuity.

Three assertions in verify-mvp-uat were genuinely red. Three more were
worse than red — passing for the wrong reason:
- quick-commit-boundary and worktree-cleanup anchored on indexOf('Step
  5.6'), which matched a later cross-reference and sliced 16069 chars
  that coincidentally held the asserted substrings. Replaced with an
  expandWorkflowSections helper that splices step content back in place.
- phase6-review-capabilities lost its end boundary and widened to EOF.
- playwright-ui-verify matched 'UI' in an unrelated bullet and 'fall
  back' in a subagent-dispatch line after the real content moved.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize code-review and complete-milestone, admit three atoms

Add dedicated cmdInitCodeReview and cmdInitCompleteMilestone entry points
alongside the shared generic ones rather than modifying them — init.phase-op
and init.manager carry a CRITICAL blast radius (179 dependents, 24
processes) and stay byte-identical for their other callers.

Admit flag:--fix, state:fallow-enabled and state:git-create-tag, each with
a consuming section and a fact its own entry point computes.

Both sections had the resolver-in-body hazard: the fallow config-gate and
the git.create_tag check each sat inside the very block being gated, so
gating would have disabled the resolver that decides the gate. Both are
hoisted into init and the bodies now consume the resolved fact.

* test(#2994): retarget code-review and milestone drift guards, fix two red tests

Retarget guards that asserted on content moved into steps/, proving
non-vacuity by blanking each step file and confirming failure.

Also fixes two genuinely red tests found while working, per the no-defer
rule:
- workflow-fragments' frozen-vocabulary lock was missing
  state:ui-phase-active, so commit 7ef7f8336 shipped red. Lint and build
  both passed over it, which is why neither is sufficient verification.
- code-review's quick.md capability-hook assertion carried a stale
  delimiter after the 18ff35d20 extraction.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize autonomous.md and admit state:plan-strategy-converge

Five sections share one atom, the pattern plan-phase already uses for
flag:--research-phase. The atom folds --converge OR --cross-ai into a
single boolean in cmdInitAutonomous so the grammar stays operator-free.

cmdInitAutonomous is additive; init.milestone-op, init.manager and
init.phase-op are untouched and still consumed. The $PLAN_STRATEGY bash
resolver is deliberately retained — ungated local-planning bullets still
read it, so the init-side fact supplements it rather than replacing it.

converge-fail-fast required splitting one bash fence so the always-run
CONVERGENCE_ARGS construction stays outside the marker. All three
flag-absent fallbacks were left outside their markers.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore(#2994): fragmentize review and discuss-phase-assumptions

Admit state:reviewer-instances-configured (two peripheral notes share it;
the core reviewer-lane dispatch stays unmarked — it is the workflow's
primary always-evaluated logic, not an optional branch) and
state:auto-advance-active, which folds --auto OR two config keys into one
boolean so the grammar stays operator-free.

discuss-phase-assumptions was the highest-risk edit in this PR. Its
auto_advance step is a full if/elif/else; gating it whole would have
deleted the flag-absent fallback needed exactly when --auto is off. Split
verified exact: resolvers 636-651 and the 'End here' fallback 668-669 both
stay outside the marker; only 653-667 is gated.

Adds emitted-drift acks for the two files that grew — review.md (+55 B)
and autonomous.md (+737 B from 80799211c, which had none and would have
red-gated the push.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize docs-update, update, transition and new-milestone Part A

Completes the 13-workflow rollout. Three of these had no init call at all
and gained a dedicated entry point plus their first gsd_run query line.

Admits state:is-monorepo and adds state:next-channel, state:workstream-active
and state:flat-mode. Vocabulary 26 -> 30 atoms.

Part A of new-milestone applies when NO workstream is active — the negation
of state:workstream-active. Rather than teach the grammar negation, which is
the Greenspun drift the frozen list exists to prevent, it gets a separate
positively-phrased atom whose fact is the inverse. Part B, which always runs,
stays outside the marker.

flag:--verify-only is deliberately NOT admitted: docs-update has no
contiguous purely-additive region for it, and an atom without a consuming
section is dead vocabulary. Evidence recorded in the slice report.

update.md reuses its existing resolved $GSD_TOOLS rather than prepending the
canonical preamble, which would have clobbered it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#2994): stop automated-ui-verification re-resolving its own gate, retire dead vocabulary

Two defects the new tests caught.

The automated-ui-verification step re-ran gsd_run loop render-hooks and
recomputed UI_PHASE_ACTIVE inside a body that is only read when that fact
is already true — the circular self-disabling pattern this design forbids,
introduced by 3c654b168. cmdInitVerifyWork now exposes ui_phase_active and
the step consumes it. Its launcher preamble goes too: no gsd_run remains.
The Playwright-MCP check stays as prose — that is live session state.

Dead vocabulary predating this PR: flag:--full and state:needs-codebase-map
were admitted with a gate-1 claim that never materialized. flag:--full is
removed, redundant once quick folds it into discuss/research/validate.
state:needs-codebase-map gets the real consumer it always lacked, gating
new-project's codebase-map offer. Vocabulary 30 -> 29, and no atom is now
without a consuming section.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(#2994): add the atom-admission, inversion and resolver-hoist gates

The two existing parity guards prove vocabulary/predicate symmetry but
never that a fact is computed — an atom no cmdInit* assembles evaluates
false forever. These close that hole:

- per-atom satisfiability for all 29 atoms, plus an anti-vacuity assertion
  so the loop cannot silently cover zero atoms
- dead-vocabulary check against the shipped manifest
- inversion guard: the flag-absent fallbacks in discuss-phase-assumptions
  and verify-work must stay outside their markers
- data-driven resolver-hoist guard over the shipped manifest, so a future
  extraction cannot reintroduce the circular class
- compound-fold coverage (--full, --cross-ai, --rc, config-only --auto)
- null-vs-[] degraded/computed distinction, and flag value shapes

Also repairs the frozen-vocabulary lock, which was stale and red for the
seven atoms earlier commits on this branch shipped.

* fix(#2994): dedupe the phase-fallback block and harden --ws parsing

Review findings.

MAJOR: the three new init entry points each pasted a verbatim copy of the
guardedFindPhase/guardedGetRoadmapPhase fallback, taking the repo from four
copies to seven — DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX. Extracted applyRoadmapFallback and
folded six of the seven; each call site keeps its own field-set via a
closure. Duplication removed rather than papered over with a parity test.
cmdInitPhaseOp stays out: its fallback omits has_reviews, so it is not a
byte-identical copy, and it is CRITICAL-radius.

LOW, pre-existing: GSD_WS captured [^[:space:]]+ and expands unquoted, so a
workstream name holding glob metacharacters would expand against the
filesystem. Narrowed to [A-Za-z0-9._-]+. The unquoted expansion is kept —
it must word-split into two args and vanish when empty.

Also restores the vocabulary ordering convention, and fixes a masked test
bug the mandated run surfaced: the flag-forwarding guard checked only the
first init line per workflow, but new-milestone has two, so a real failure
was reporting exit 0.

* fix(#2994): drop the stale new-milestone emitted-drift ack

new-milestone.md was acked for a +406 B growth measured against an
intermediate commit. Net against origin/next it SHRANK by 8 bytes, so
nothing needed the ack and it explained nothing — which the differential
attribution check reports as a stale acknowledgment, not a pass.

update.md's entry stays: it genuinely grew +703 B.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#2994): resolve the 15 failures from the full matrix run

All 15 were real and identical on both lanes.

REAL REGRESSION: autonomous.md hit 41479 chars against the #2196 guard's
40960 cap — a CHARS cap distinct from the LARGE tier byte cap, which the
five section stubs pushed it over. Extracted the 3a.5 UI Design Contract
body to references/; now 39968 chars, and the file nets -795 B vs base, so
its growth ack is deleted rather than left stale.

REAL DEFECT: docs referenced /gsd-transition, which is not a live
registered command. Reworded.

STALE FIXTURE: the emission byte-identity test hardcoded two marked
workflows; this branch legitimately marks fifteen. Fixture corrected — the
source was right.

The rest were drift guards over the eight workflows the earlier sweep did
not cover, retargeted at where the content now lives with non-vacuity
proven by blanking each step file and confirming failure. The GSD_WS
forwarding guard was checked as a possible real break and is not one: the
charclass narrowing is intact and forwarding works end to end.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#2994): drop the ack for a newly-added reference file

A new file's emitted ripple is attributable to the diff that adds it, so
the acknowledgment explained nothing and the differential check reports it
as stale. Removing the last entry removes the fragment — an empty one
signals nothing.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#2994): retarget the UI-contract guards and clear two transitive advisories

The §3a.5 extraction that brought autonomous.md under the #2196 char cap
moved its body to references/autonomous-ui-design-contract.md, so ten
guards in autonomous-ui-steps and check-ui-safety-gate were asserting it
against the host. Retargeted via a combined read, each proven non-vacuous
by blanking the reference file and confirming failure.

This class had already bitten twice on this branch because each sweep was
scoped to the workflows touched at that moment, so this one was
exhaustive: ~70 test files across all 13 workflows, zero further broken or
vacuous assertions found.

Also clears two high transitive advisories the matrix flagged on one lane
— fast-uri GHSA-7p8r-x3mc-p8w7 and three ip-address SSRF/trust-boundary
issues. Both pre-date this branch: package-lock.json was untouched until
now, so the production tree was byte-identical to the base. Lockfile-only,
package.json unchanged, verified against a real npm ci install.

067a4d1c6c fix(#2650): bound and auto-recover plan-phase planner/plan-checker stalls (#3015)
* test(#2650): add failing-first regression for plan-phase stall detection

Regression test for gsd_stall_should_recover / gsd_stall_watch and the
planner.stall_* config keys, none of which exist yet — proves RED before
the fix lands in the next commit.

* fix(#2650): bound and auto-recover plan-phase planner/plan-checker stalls

Mirrors the already-shipped executor.stall_* pattern (execute-phase.md, bug
#3212) but with a dispatch change the executor's prose-only surveillance
lacks: the standard planner spawn, chunked-outline planner spawn,
chunked-per-plan planner spawn, plan-checker spawn, and revision-loop
planner respawn now dispatch with run_in_background=true and are followed
by a real, bounded bash poll (gsd_stall_watch) that returns control to the
orchestrator on its own schedule instead of waiting indefinitely on a
subagent that may never return. On stall, the existing accept-plans/retry/
stop recovery menu (9a/11a) is auto-surfaced instead of requiring a manual
interrupt.

New config keys planner.stall_detect_interval_minutes (default 5) /
planner.stall_threshold_minutes (default 10) mirror executor.stall_*.

The helper functions (gsd_stall_should_recover, gsd_stall_watch) live in a
new lazily-loaded gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/stall-detection-
helpers.md rather than inline, and per-site prose is kept minimal, because
plan-phase.md is frozen under the ADR-857 Phase 6 PRE_PHASE6 gate
(tests/phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs) with ~36 bytes of headroom at
baseline; the net effect is plan-phase.md.md ships slightly SMALLER than
before (the old unconditional-wait ORCHESTRATOR RULE sentences are gone at
the five touched sites, superseded by the bounded watcher).

Also fixes a stale doc comment in tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs that
still described the per-file workflow-size-baseline.json guard removed by
#2724 (ADR-2719 Phase 4) as if it were still the enforcement mechanism —
discovered while verifying this fix's own byte budget.

Researcher and pattern-mapper spawns are untouched (out of scope per the
issue's Agent Brief).

* fix(#2650): make gsd_stall_watch single-cycle; harden numeric config inputs

Two review findings addressed on top of the prior commit:

1. gsd_stall_watch previously looped internally for the full
   threshold+interval duration inside ONE Bash tool call (up to 15 min at
   defaults) — a single call blocking that long risks the host tool's own
   timeout killing it before it ever prints a result, silently defeating the
   fix. Redesigned to a single sleep-and-check cycle per call, taking an
   explicit dispatch_ts so the orchestrator prose can repeat the (short,
   default 5 min) call until it resolves; the outer threshold is now
   enforced by dispatch_ts accumulating across calls, not by one call's
   duration. Documented the resulting trade-off (up to one interval of
   added latency on the success path) in the changeset and reference doc.

2. PLANNER_STALL_INTERVAL_MINUTES/THRESHOLD_MINUTES are config-controlled
   values that flow into bash arithmetic ($(( ))). A review flagged this as
   command injection; empirically verified against both macOS bash 3.2.57
   and Docker bash:5 that this is NOT actually exploitable (bash hard-errors
   on a `$(cmd)`-shaped arithmetic operand rather than invoking it) — but an
   unvalidated malformed value WOULD abort the stall-watcher itself with
   that bash error, silently defeating the exact hang-recovery this issue
   ships. Added integer validation with safe-default fallback, both at the
   config-resolution point and defensively inside gsd_stall_should_recover.

Also adds the previously-missing integration coverage for gsd_stall_watch's
real execution (grep/find/date plumbing), not just the pure classifier.

* fix(#2650): correct AC2 self-test — helpers doc may name teams-status in prose

The AC2 regression test asserted the stall-detection-helpers.md step file
never contains the substring "teams-status" at all, but the file's own
prose explicitly documents its independence from that guard (containing
the word by design). Narrowed the assertion to what actually matters: no
second `query teams-status` call site and no gating on it, not a blanket
absence of the word.

* test(#2650): regenerate golden install-tree fixtures for the new step file

gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/stall-detection-helpers.md is an
emitted file (installed for every runtime), so adding it changes the
install tree even though it is invisible to docs/INVENTORY.md and
docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json (both explicitly scope to non-recursive
gsd-core/workflows/*.md — verified against the execute-phase #2930 and
pre-existing plan-phase step-file precedent, which are equally absent from
both inventory artifacts). The golden install tree snapshots the sorted
list of emitted relative paths per runtime, so a file invisible to the
inventory is still visible here. Regenerated via `npm run gen:install-tree`
— one line added per runtime fixture (19 files), no other drift.

* fix(#2650): restore 7 ORCHESTRATOR RULE labels; sync runtime-launcher preamble

Two more consequences of extracting helper bodies out of plan-phase.md,
both caught by verification (0017e1a78, 9 unique failures):

1. tests/plan-phase-drift-guard.test.cjs (#913) requires at least 7
   "ORCHESTRATOR RULE — ALL RUNTIMES" labels in plan-phase.md itself, one
   per agent spawn site. Moving the full explanatory blocks to
   plan-phase/steps/stall-detection-helpers.md carried 5 of the 7 labels
   out with them (only the untouched researcher/pattern-mapper sites kept
   theirs). Restored a short label at each of the 5 stall-watch sites,
   trimmed a few more redundant words ("Per 7.99, " — already established
   by the adjacent step-7.99 pointer) to stay under the frozen
   PRE_PHASE6 cap (94497 bytes, 21 bytes headroom).

2. tests/runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs (#373) requires exactly one
   canonical gsd_run preamble, byte-equal to
   gsd-core/workflows/_runtime-launcher.snippet.sh, before the first
   gsd_run call in any workflow .md that calls it (recursive scan under
   gsd-core/workflows/, unlike the non-recursive inventory/step-tag-balance
   checks). The new step file's config-get calls use gsd_run without one.
   Fixed via `node scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs`, verified: exactly 1
   preamble occurrence, before the first call, including the .claude/ and
   .codex/ home fallback arms.

Also verified (no fix needed, evidence recorded): the generic
`gsd-core-verbatim` identity rule in tests/helpers/emitted-provenance.cjs
(roots: ['gsd-core'], pattern matching workflows/.+) self-attributes any
new gsd-core/workflows/** path to itself, so the new step file needs no
drift-ack entry — consistent with plan-phase.md's own net shrinkage
requiring none either.

* test(#2650): acknowledge plan-phase.md's +14 byte drift

Restoring the 5 ORCHESTRATOR RULE — ALL RUNTIMES labels (#913) flipped
plan-phase.md from -142 bytes (post-extraction) to +14 bytes net growth
against baseline (94483 -> 94497), which the differential attribution
size ratchet (tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs) correctly flags as
unacknowledged growth. Added tests/emitted-drift-acks/2650-plan-phase-
stall-detection.json, keyed on the bare filename plan-phase.md per the
existing fragment schema (see tests/emitted-drift-acks/2649-diagnose-
execute-plan-base-check.json), explaining the growth as exactly the 5
restored labels — still verified under the PRE_PHASE6 cap (94497 < 94519)
and satisfying #913's 7-label requirement.

* fix(#2650): bind {outputFile} from the real Agent() return — was dead code

Independent review blocker: PLANNER_OUTPUT_FILE/CHECKER_OUTPUT_FILE were
read by every gsd_stall_watch call but never assigned anywhere in the
diff. With the variable permanently empty, `[ -f "$output_file" ]` was
always false, marker_found could never become true, and marker_received
was unreachable — the marker-based detection path was permanently dead.

Worse for the plan-checker spawn specifically: a checker that PASSES
touches no *-PLAN.md files, so it had no working completion signal at
all without the marker path. A healthy plan-checker finishing cleanly in
two minutes would be declared stalled once planner.stall_threshold_minutes
elapsed and the recovery menu would fire on an already-succeeded agent —
worse than the original unbounded hang.

Fixed by replacing the dead bash variable with the `{outputFile}`
orchestrator-substitution token, the same convention docs-update.md:471
already uses for a real run_in_background=true Agent() return ("Read
tool: file_path: `{outputFile from README agent result}`"). This is a
net BYTE SAVING at each site (`"{outputFile}"` is shorter than
`"$PLANNER_OUTPUT_FILE"`), which funded moving the full binding
explanation — including why plan-checker's *-PLAN.md glob alone is not
a working completion signal — into the lazily-loaded reference file to
stay under the frozen PRE_PHASE6 cap (94496 bytes, 22 headroom; net +13
over baseline, acknowledged in tests/emitted-drift-acks/2650-plan-phase-
stall-detection.json).

Added a regression test asserting plan-phase.md itself binds {outputFile}
at all 5 spawn sites and contains no dangling $PLANNER_OUTPUT_FILE /
$CHECKER_OUTPUT_FILE reference — the previous test suite only exercised
gsd_stall_watch's behavior when handed a valid argument, which is why
the dead production wiring survived two rounds of review. Also fixed
tests/fix-2650-plan-phase-stall-detection.test.cjs:170-195's raw
try/finally to use t.after(), per CONTRIBUTING's test-cleanup convention.

* chore(#2650): backfill changeset PR number to 3015

* fix: normalize CRLF at the read boundary in all .md-bash-extraction tests

Maintainer-authorized scope expansion, folded into this PR rather than
deferred: the Windows CI lane on this PR's own tests/fix-2650-plan-phase-
stall-detection.test.cjs exposed DEFECT.TEST-SHELL-PIPELINE-NONPORTABLE
(CONTEXT.md; recurring since #1700) as a repo-wide latent class, not a
one-off. Ten test files parse a fenced ```bash block out of a workflow
.md file and execute it via spawnSync/execFileSync; a Windows checkout
can yield CRLF line endings despite .gitattributes eol=lf, and bash then
treats the trailing \r on every extracted line as part of the token —
"unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'" or a bare syntax error,
partway through the script.

Added tests/helpers.cjs:readFileNormalized() — strips \r\n -> \n at the
read boundary, before any fence-slicing or regex runs, so every
downstream operation is correct by construction. Migrated all ten call
sites to it:

Previously broken (fs.readFileSync with no normalization anywhere
between read and spawn):
- tests/worktree-cleanup.test.cjs (extractCwdGuardBash) — also fixes a
  misleading comment claiming the fence regex alone was "CRLF-safe"; it
  protected only the fence delimiters, never the captured body.
- tests/new-milestone-clear-phases.test.cjs (extractFenceBetween,

Already correct (split(/\r?\n/) then join('\n')), migrated to the shared
helper for consistency rather than a fourth/fifth/sixth copy of the same
fix:
- tests/git-base-branch.test.cjs (extractHandleBranchingBash)
- tests/quick-branching.test.cjs (extractStep25Bash)
- tests/runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs (extractResolverSnippet)

Verified against a simulated Windows CRLF checkout (not assumed): for
both the worktree-cleanup.test.cjs and new-milestone-clear-phases.test.cjs
extraction shapes, confirmed the pre-fix code produces a real bash syntax
error on CRLF input and the post-fix code does not.

One eslint follow-up: local/no-crlf-fragile-split statically flags any
bare `\n` inside a markdown-fence-shaped regex, regardless of whether the
receiver was already normalized — it cannot see the readFileNormalized()
data-flow. Kept `\r?\n` in extractCwdGuardBash's fence regex (redundant
but harmless on pre-normalized input) rather than fight the rule.

Scope note: this diff is broader than issue #2650's own change (plan-
phase.md stall detection) because the Windows lane surfaced a genuine
repo-wide defect class while verifying that fix, and the maintainer
authorized fixing it here rather than filing it separately and shipping
a known-broken pattern.

Runtime impact: none — this is a test-harness-only defect. The live
orchestrator (Claude Code or another runtime) does not do a byte-exact
extract-and-pipe of .md content into a shell the way these tests do; it
reads the instructions and generates its own bash invocation text, which
does not reproduce a raw CRLF pass-through the same way.

Not touched: tests/plan-review-convergence.test.cjs's separate, tracked
spawnSync ETIMEDOUT flake under bench load (#3005, reproduced on
unmodified next) — unrelated load-sensitivity, not a CRLF symptom.

* fix(#2650): remove stale drift-ack fragment — plan-phase.md is self-explaining

tests/emitted-drift-acks/2650-plan-phase-stall-detection.json acknowledged
plan-phase.md's own emitted-path hash move, but plan-phase.md is directly
edited in this diff. Per the emitted-attribution law (ADR-2719,
tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs), a workflow's emitted key equals its
own source path (gsd-core-verbatim identity rule), so a direct edit to the
source is self-explaining and auto-attributed — no ack was ever needed.

Verified via the pre-merge lint (scripts/lint-emitted-drift-ack.cjs, run
through npm run lint:ci with a fully cleared eslint cache): it passes clean
with the fragment removed, confirming no contradiction between the lint and
the runtime attribution gate — this was simply an unnecessary fragment.

* fix(#2650): restore plan-phase.md drift-ack — size ratchet demands it against next

tests/emitted-drift-acks/2650-plan-phase-stall-detection.json was deleted in
the previous commit because, against an earlier verification base, it was
inert: it explained a moved emitted hash that a direct edit to plan-phase.md
already self-attributes. Against origin/next@f1af47766a the demand is
different: plan-phase.md is 13 bytes larger than the base copy, which trips
the emitted-attribution size ratchet — a job this same ack also performs.

Recreated in the documented shape, keyed on the bare filename plan-phase.md
(not the full path, and not restating the byte delta per review guidance),
describing the actual change: the {outputFile} binding fix for the dead
PLANNER_OUTPUT_FILE/CHECKER_OUTPUT_FILE variables and the 5 restored
ORCHESTRATOR RULE labels required by #913, both at the stall-watch spawn
sites, with explanatory bodies living in the lazily-loaded
gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/stall-detection-helpers.md reference.

Confirmed no other fragment (on this branch or on next) claims the bare key
"plan-phase.md" before recreating — scripts/lint-emitted-drift-ack.cjs's
duplicate check is an exact string match, and the only other mention of
plan-phase.md in tests/emitted-drift-acks/ (2658-trae-instruction-file-path.json)
uses the full path as its key, so there is no collision.

* fix(#2650): real cause of Windows CI failure — bash -c argv-transport, not CRLF

The CRLF diagnosis for PR #3015's Windows failure was wrong. Proven wrong,
not assumed: .gitattributes' blanket `* text=auto eol=lf` means a Windows
checkout never receives CRLF for stall-detection-helpers.md, and the
extracted fence's line 64 is byte-identical and correctly balanced on every
platform. The real cause: runShouldRecover() passed a 70+ line, quote-dense
script as ONE argv element to `spawnSync('bash', ['-c', script, arg0, ...])`
PLUS four more positional args. Windows has no execve — Node serializes
that whole argv into a single CreateProcess command-line string, and Git
Bash's MSYS layer re-splits and unescapes it with its own rules. The
boundary between the script and the trailing args was not stable across
that round trip (live evidence: one failure's stderr was prefixed
`gsd_stall_should_recover_test:` — arg0 arrived — another `/usr/bin/bash:`
— arg0 did not).

Fixed by writing the script to a temp file and running `bash <file> <args>`
instead — the four values are now normal, quote-free positional args, and
the script itself never enters argv transport at all. Mirrors
tests/quick-branching.test.cjs's extractStep25Bash/runStep, which already
uses this exact shape and is green on Windows on `next`.
tests/worktree-cleanup.test.cjs's extractCwdGuardBash/runGuard stays on
`bash -c` but never appends extra positional args beyond the script itself,
so it never hits the same boundary — checked both siblings per review, not
assumed.

Corrected the now-actively-misleading CRLF comment in
extractStallHelpersBash(), and corrected the changeset's claim that the
repo-wide CRLF-normalization fix (folded into this branch, maintainer-
authorized) explains this PR's own Windows failure — it doesn't, though it
remains defensible on its own merits as general test-portability hardening.

Separately, while auditing the shipped (non-test) gsd_stall_watch for
Windows portability per review request, found and fixed a second, real
user-facing defect: the artifact-freshness check used GNU find's
`-newermt "@<epoch>"` shorthand, which the BSD find(1) actually shipped on
macOS does NOT understand ("Can't parse date/time: @<epoch>", verified live
against /usr/bin/find on both a stale and a genuinely fresh file). With the
adjacent `2>/dev/null`, that failed silently and permanently degraded
artifact_fresh to false on every macOS run — a plan-checker or planner
actively writing plan files could still be reported "stalled." Replaced
with `find $glob -mmin -N` ("modified less than N minutes ago"), which
needs no date-string parsing and is supported identically by GNU find and
BSD find; verified live that the old shape fails and the new shape passes
against the same real fresh file. Added a real-execution regression test
(gsd_stall_watch with `sleep` stubbed to a no-op so the test doesn't
actually wait, but the real `find ... -mmin` line still runs) proving the
fix, replacing the prior "not integration-tested" note for that path.

Note: the remote gsd-test runner is Linux-only, so it cannot itself confirm
the Windows fix — only the actual windows-latest CI lane can.

* fix(#2650): route the third bash -c call site through the same temp-file seam

runWatch() and a `-mmin` regression test still passed their script via
`bash -c <script>` after the previous commit only converted
runShouldRecover() — live Windows CI on 4b86cc57f confirmed the mechanism:
failures went 11 -> 4, and `full test (windows-latest, 22, shard 1/3)` and
`shard 2/3` flipped from fail to pass, but the remaining 4 failures (all in
this file, all still `bash: -c:`) were exactly the gsd_stall_watch describe
block, which runWatch() serves. runWatch() passes NO extra positional args
at all, so this also rules out the trailing-args theory from the prior
commit: the ~73-line, quote-dense script itself is what does not survive
Windows argv serialization when passed as a single `-c` element, regardless
of how many (if any) further argv elements follow it.

Extracted one shared runBashScript(script, args, opts) helper — write to a
fs.mkdtempSync'd file, run `bash <file> [args...]`, clean up in `finally` —
and routed all three bash-invoking call sites in this file through it
(runShouldRecover, runWatch, and the -mmin freshness test that builds its
own script inline for the `sleep` stub). One transport seam means a fourth
call site in this file cannot silently reintroduce the bug in isolation,
which is exactly what happened here with a second call site.

Corrected extractStallHelpersBash()'s doc comment a second time to state
the mechanism precisely (script content, not argv-element count) and cite
the live evidence (11->4 failures, shards 1 and 2 flipping green) so the
next reader does not have to rediscover it.

Audited every other bash-invoking call site in files this branch touches,
per review request:
- tests/code-review-pipeline-regression.test.cjs (runPostProcessing),
  tests/graphify-visualization.test.cjs (runBlock), and
  tests/drift-detection.test.cjs (two execFileSync('bash', ['-c', ...])
  sites, one of them carrying the same giant runtime-launcher preamble
  text) — all pre-existing, UNCHANGED by this branch (only touched for the
  readFileNormalized() CRLF swap), and already exercised on `next`'s last
  six Windows CI runs per the reviewer's own citation. Left as-is: no
  evidence of failure, and converting untested pre-existing code outside
  #2650's scope on an unverifiable guess would be its own risk.
- tests/git-base-branch.test.cjs (runHandleBranchingStep) and
  tests/quick-branching.test.cjs (runStep) already use the same temp-file
  pattern. No action needed.
- tests/runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs (runResolver) uses `bash -c` but
  is explicitly `if (process.platform === 'win32') return '';` guarded off
  on Windows entirely, for an unrelated extension-less-PATH-stub reason —
  never reaches Windows argv transport at all. No action needed.
- tests/worktree-cleanup.test.cjs (runGuard) confirmed by the reviewer as
  correct and verified; not touched, per instruction.

Do not touch: the -mmin fix, the drift-ack fragment, the changeset — all
three confirmed correct in prior rounds and left untouched here.

Note: the remote gsd-test runner is Linux-only and cannot confirm this;
only the windows-latest lanes on #3015 can.

* fix(#2650): give runBashScript a default timeout

runShouldRecover() was the only one of the three call sites through
runBashScript() with no timeout — runWatch() and the -mmin test both pass
timeout: 10000 explicitly. Not a regression (this path never had a bound
before), but CONTEXT.md's unbounded-subprocess guidance applies directly,
and runShouldRecover() is driven repeatedly by a fast-check property test:
one pathological input that fails to terminate would hang CI indefinitely
instead of failing.

timeout: 10000 is now the helper's own default, with ...opts spread after
it so the two existing explicit timeout: 10000 call sites are unchanged
and any future caller inherits a bound automatically.

* fix(#2650): build the -mmin freshness test's glob with forward slashes

Windows CI on d6ddda6ea reported the last failure: the -mmin regression
test expected 'active' but got 'waiting' — find matched nothing, the same
silent-degradation shape as the macOS -newermt defect, but this time in the
test's own fixture rather than the shipped bash.

Traced what production actually passes: every gsd_stall_watch call site in
plan-phase.md builds artifact_glob as `"${PHASE_DIR}"'/*-PLAN.md'` —
PHASE_DIR is a POSIX-style .planning/phases/NN-slug value, and the whole
thing runs under Git Bash regardless of host OS, so production's glob is
always forward-slash. The test instead built it with
`path.join(tmp, '*-PLAN.md')`, which on Windows yields a backslash path
(C:\Users\RUNNER~1\...\*-PLAN.md). In bash pathname expansion a backslash
escapes the next character, so that pattern can never match a real path —
find silently returns empty under the existing 2>/dev/null, same shape as
the macOS bug. Confirmed as a test artifact, not a production defect:
production never constructs the glob this way, so no Windows user is
affected.

Fixed by forward-slashing the tmp dir before appending the glob suffix,
matching production's own convention, with a comment recording why (so a
future "simplify this back to path.join" edit doesn't silently reintroduce
the failure). The shipped bash's unquoted $artifact_glob is untouched —
quoting it would break the multi-file glob expansion it exists for.

Note: the remote runner is Linux-only and already passed clean at
d6ddda6ea (0/29,603, both node lanes); only the windows-latest lanes on
#3015 can confirm this fix.

* fix(#2650): forward-slash the three remaining runWatch globs (vacuous-pass CR)

The :353 fix (833c11da9) only converted the -mmin freshness test's glob.
Three sibling tests in the same describe block still built theirs with
path.join(tmp, '*-PLAN.md'), which yields a backslash path on Windows.

Two of those three were silently passing for the wrong reason: the
'-> stalled' and '-> waiting' tests both expect the glob to match nothing,
and on Windows a backslash path matches nothing regardless of whether the
directory is actually empty (bash eats each backslash as an escape before
the pattern is even evaluated). They would have passed identically with
glob expansion completely broken, which is a vacuous pass — not exercising
what they claim to. The third ('-> marker_received') is outcome-independent
of the glob, so it was merely inconsistent rather than wrong.

Converted all three to the same `${tmp.replace(/\\/g, '/')}/*-PLAN.md`
construction already used at the -mmin test, so every glob in the file now
matches production's own forward-slash `"${PHASE_DIR}"'/*-PLAN.md'` shape,
and the two negative tests are meaningful on Windows instead of accidentally
correct. Reworded the trailing comment on the 'stalled' test's glob line:
it now describes the fixture (the tmp dir contains no *-PLAN.md files)
rather than the pattern, since "matches nothing" read as a property of the
glob syntax when it's a property of what's on disk.

No assertion, the sleep stub, runBashScript, or the shipped bash changed.
Smoke-tested all three updated tests manually before committing (not via
node --test): marker_received / stalled / waiting, all correct.

* fix(#2650): fix own regression tests for #2993's plan-phase.md relocation

531101843's merge with origin/next brought in #2993 (unrelated, epic #1671
Phase 6.2), which extracted plan-phase.md's whole "Chunked Planning Mode"
section into gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/chunked-planning-mode.md,
leaving a <!-- gsd:section --> pointer behind. tests/plan-phase-drift-guard.
test.cjs (#913) was already updated to read the combined surface (host file
+ every steps/*.md) so its label count didn't go blind — my own #2650
regression tests were not, and searched plan-phase.md alone for the two
chunked spawn sites' headings, which no longer exist there. Two tests
failed outright (indexOf returning -1); a third ("standard planner spawn")
was silently weakened to an unbounded slice-to-EOF by the same relocation,
since its own end-boundary heading also moved — passing by accident rather
than by testing what it claimed.

Promoted the drift guard's local readPlanPhaseCombined() to a shared,
exported tests/helpers.cjs readWorkflowCombined(workflowPath) (host file +
sorted steps/*.md, CRLF-normalized at the read boundary) so a second,
divergent implementation is never written — the drift guard now delegates
to it via a same-named local wrapper, unchanged at every existing call site.

Fixed the three affected tests in tests/fix-2650-plan-phase-stall-detection.
test.cjs:
- "standard planner spawn (step 8)": end boundary changed from the now-gone
  "## 8.5. Chunked Planning Mode" heading to "## 9. Handle Planner Return",
  which still exists in plan-phase.md.
- "chunked outline spawn (8.5.1)" / "chunked per-plan spawn (8.5.2)": now
  read gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/chunked-planning-mode.md
  directly (not the generic multi-file combined blob, whose file-sort
  ordering would put unrelated step files between 8.5.2's slice and any
  downstream anchor) — the same heading-to-heading slicing as before still
  works because the file is small and self-contained.
- Extended the "no unbound $PLANNER_OUTPUT_FILE/$CHECKER_OUTPUT_FILE" check
  to also scan chunked-planning-mode.md, since two of the five spawn sites
  now live there.
- Added a new count-based test asserting exactly 5 (not "at least one")
  `gsd_stall_watch "$TS" "{outputFile}"` invocations across the combined
  surface, mirroring #913's own label-count guard, so every one of the five
  spawns stays provably bounded and a future relocation can't silently drop
  one without a test noticing.

Also added a small positive test that plan-phase.md's <!-- gsd:section -->
pointer to chunked-planning-mode.md exists (#2993 is unrelated to #2650 but
its presence is now load-bearing for where 2 of the 5 spawn sites live).

Audited every other test file in the repo for a stale reference to content
#2993 relocated (searched for the moved headings/prose and for
"chunked-planning-mode"/"CHUNKED_MODE" across all *.test.cjs): only this
file and the drift guard needed changes.
tests/issue-2762-plan-reviews-chunked.test.cjs already reads
chunked-planning-mode.md directly (brought in correct by the same merge).
gen-section-manifest.test.cjs, init.test.cjs, and workflow-fragments.test.cjs
reference "chunked-planning-mode" only as a manifest/section-id fixture
value for #2993 itself, not as a stale pointer to relocated content.

Did not touch: the ported ORCHESTRATOR RULE lines, run_in_background=true,
the glob constructions, runBashScript, the -mmin change, the timeout
default, or the drift-ack fragment (confirmed correct against the stale
local `next` ref two rounds ago and left alone).

ad3b9ec486 chore(#1671): fragmentize plan-phase.md and repair flag forwarding to the init bundle — Phase 6.2 (#3019)
* chore(#2993): fragmentize plan-phase.md onto the fragment model

Epic #1671 Phase 6.2. plan-phase.md is the largest workflow in the repo and
carried zero markers; it was deferred out of the Phase 3 pilot for two
reasons, both now dead. The 36-byte PRE_PHASE6 headroom was never the
blocker it looked like — fragmentizing is net-negative on host source, so
the trim is what creates the room. The --mvp interleaving was resolved by
measurement in #2992 and no sub-line mechanism is built.

- widen WHEN_VOCABULARY 14 -> 19 via a second coordinated ADR-1671
  amendment: flag:--ingest, flag:--prd, flag:--research-phase,
  flag:--reviews, state:chunked-mode
- state:chunked-mode is `--chunked` OR config workflow.plan_chunked, and
  that disjunction is resolved in the FACT, never in the grammar, so a
  compound condition never becomes an operator
- parse the new flags on the plan-phase route; extract six gated bodies to
  gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/ behind manifest-gated stubs
- prd-express-path.md was already extracted but read unconditionally; its
  wrapper is now gated, so the existing extraction finally pays off

plan-phase.md 94,483 -> 87,575 bytes (cap 94,519): headroom goes from 36
bytes to 6,944.

Also closes a surfaced docs gap: five real plan-phase flags (--chunked,
--skip-ui, --bounce, --skip-bounce, --granularity) were documented in
neither the argument-hint nor help. Making --chunked load-bearing without
fixing its siblings would leave the defect class half-open.

Refs #2993

* fix(#2993): forward flags to the init bundle so section gating actually fires

Blocker found by the correctness review, confirmed directly, and missed by
both the isolated reviewer and every test in this branch.

Neither workflow forwarded its flags to the init CLI:

  plan-phase.md:71    INIT=$(gsd_run query init.plan-phase "$PHASE" $GRAN_PARAM)
  execute-phase.md:84 INIT=$(gsd_run query init.execute-phase "${PHASE_ARG}")

So every flag: atom was permanently false in production and its section
permanently excluded. For plan-phase that made the PRD express path
UNREACHABLE — a regression, since it was an unconditional read before.
For execute-phase this is PRE-EXISTING: #2932 shipped `flag:--wave` gating
that has never once been true, so `--wave` silently dropped its own
wave-filtering guidance. Fixed here under the no-defer rule.

Why every test missed it: they drive the init CLI directly with flags,
which works. Production goes through the workflow's bash line, which did
not pass them — the exact "assert against the shape production uses" trap
this branch's own test matrix warns about.

- parse and forward --prd/--ingest/--research-phase/--reviews/--chunked
  (plan-phase) and --wave (execute-phase), using the anchored regex idiom
  the neighbouring GRAN_PARAM line already uses
- add a regression guard DERIVED FROM THE MANIFEST: for every flag:--X
  section, the owning workflow's init line must forward --X. It fails
  against the pre-fix files and covers any future atom, rather than
  spot-checking today's six.

Verified through the workflow shape, not the CLI shape: `3 --prd spec.md`
now yields ["prd-express-gate"] (was []), `2 --wave 2` yields
["partial-wave"] (was []).

Refs #2993

* test(#2993): acknowledge the execute-phase ripple and regenerate install-tree fixtures

Remote matrix was red with 46 unique failures, identical on both lanes.
Both causes are mechanical consequences of changing shipped workflow
content, and neither is visible to any local gate.

- emitted-attribution: execute-phase.md grew 163 bytes from the WAVE_PARAM
  forwarding fix and was unacknowledged, while the ack fragment named
  plan-phase.md, which SHRANK and therefore needed no ack at all — a stale
  entry is itself a failure. The reason now names the real ripple.
  The entry had to merge into the existing 2930 fragment: the ack linter
  does unconditional cross-fragment duplicate-key detection with no
  spent/live exception, so a second fragment declaring execute-phase.md
  collides even when the first is already merged and inert. Resolved per
  the linter's own guidance and that file's precedent of appending
  successive ripple reasons to one entry.
- golden-install-tree: tests/fixtures/install-tree/*.json are committed and
  deliberately excluded from the ADR-2719 attribution cutover, so they must
  be regenerated when shipped tree content changes. Regenerated after
  build:lib per the ordering landmine. 19 runtimes each gained exactly the
  six new plan-phase step files; zero paths removed, which is the absolute
  failure shape those fixtures exist to catch.

Refs #2993

* fix(#2993): restore the launcher preamble in an extracted step and follow moved content in its drift guards

Second red run: 26 unique failures, identical on both lanes, in two classes.

RUNTIME BUG (runtime-launcher-parity, 7 failures) — chunked-planning-mode.md
calls gsd_run but carried no canonical launcher preamble, which is what
DEFINES gsd_run(). On any non-Claude runtime that step would fail outright.
The preamble is now copied verbatim from the canonical source of truth,
gsd-core/workflows/_runtime-launcher.snippet.sh, and the fence dedented to
column 0 to match the prd-express-path.md sibling (a list-continuation
indent breaks the byte-equal preamble match). prd-express-path.md already
had a correct one. This is the same defect #2932 hit when it extracted
steps; the parity test caught a real bug, not a stale assertion.

DRIFT GUARDS (plan-phase-drift-guard, issue-2762-plan-reviews-chunked,
skill-frontmatter-contract) — these assert plan-phase.md contains content
this branch moved into step files. Retargeted at where the content now
lives, with the asserted property unchanged; the ALL-RUNTIMES label COUNT
test now reads host + every step file so the count is preserved across the
split rather than reduced. Each retargeted guard was verified to still fail
when its step file is stripped, so none was weakened into vacuity.

No emitted-drift ack was needed: currentSizes() enumerates
gsd-core/workflows/*.md non-recursively, so files under
plan-phase/steps/ are never in the size ratchet's scope.

a987cf2731 chore(#2932): emit a per-invocation section manifest from the init bundle (#2987)
* chore(#2932): emit a per-invocation section manifest from init

Extends the init bundle with a typed per-invocation section manifest so an
invocation loads only the branch guidance it will actually take.

The three flag/state-gated branches in execute-phase.md move into their own
step files; the parent keeps its gsd:section markers wrapping a one-line
on-demand reference, so each section's prose lives in exactly one file and
the parent shrinks 93369 -> 89507 bytes. A new drift-guarded generator
derives the shipped section manifest from those markers, and a new pure
evaluator maps invocation facts to applicable section ids.

The evaluator is a lookup over the frozen WHEN_VOCABULARY, never a parser
(Greenspun's Tenth Rule, ADR-1671:69); a parity test asserts the vocabulary
and the predicate map stay exhaustively in sync.

Closes #2932

* fix(#2932): fail closed on prototype-chain when values

An isolated adversarial review found WHEN_PREDICATES[section.when] was a
bracket lookup on a plain-prototype object, so inherited Object.prototype
members resolved as predicates: "constructor"/"toString"/"valueOf"/
"hasOwnProperty" returned truthy and SILENTLY INCLUDED the section, and
"__proto__" threw an untyped TypeError carrying no .reason. Both violate
the module's documented fail-closed contract, and the manifest is read from
disk at run time so it cannot be assumed trustworthy.

Builds the predicate map on a null prototype and guards the lookup with an
explicit Object.hasOwn check. Adds table-driven coverage for nine
Object.prototype-shaped keys asserting the TYPED reason (asserting only
that it throws would still pass while broken) plus a fast-check property
injecting a hostile value at an arbitrary document position.

6ad30f74b6 feat(#2584): Phase 3 — scheduler consumer + isolation adapters (#2635)
Final phase of #2584 (ADR-1239 Codex-binding amendment). execute-phase now negotiates dispatch.isolation and dispatches through the matching adapter, so a wave's independent plans run concurrently on six runtimes instead of one — with no runtime=== branch in the scheduler.

harness-worktree passes the host's declared isolation flag (claude, cursor); orchestrator-worktree creates the worktree via the Phase-2 verb and spawns the executor into it with the resolved argv/cwd (codex, opencode, kimi, kimi-code); none stays sequential. Undeclared/unknown/unresolvable isolation degrades to none — never an unisolated parallel run.

Fixes two shipped Phase-2 descriptors that per-host research found would fail at spawn: kimi lacked its headless flag (would launch the interactive TUI and hang the orchestrator), and kimi-code named a non-existent binary (Kimi Code installs as 'kimi'). Adds the worktree-path root confinement Phase 2 deferred here, and leading-dash guards on the resolver's prompt/cwd matching the existing git-argument guard.

Closes #2627

c5e0371775 feat(#1951): reversibility tagging — gate one-way-door decisions (#2471)
* test(#1951): add failing-first tests for reversibility tagging

Red phase for issue #1951 (reversibility tagging: classify decisions by
undo cost, gate one-way doors behind a checkpoint:decision).

Tests assert, per the issue's acceptance criteria:
- discuss-phase CONTEXT.md template records a **Reversibility:** field with
  a rationale on captured decisions, and states it is optional
- gsd-planner @-references planner-reversibility.md and stays under the
  49152-char agent cap (LARGE_CAP, tests/agent-size-budget.test.cjs)
- a one-way rating inserts a checkpoint:decision before the dependent task;
  reversible inserts none; costly is flagged but never blocks
- the taxonomy defaults to reversible when unsure (checkpoint-fatigue guard)
  and inserting a checkpoint implies autonomous: false
- docs/reference/plan-md.md documents <reversibility> as optional with all
  three ratings
- --no-reversibility-gates parses to REVERSIBILITY_GATES=false, is injected
  into the planner prompt, and is advertised in the command argument-hint
  and help full mode (argument-hint parity)
- the override suppresses the gate but still persists the rating
- cmdVerifyPlanStructure accepts every rating and the absent case
  (additive-validator guarantee, behavioral via runGsdTools)
- parity: thinking-models-planning.md #4 adopts the canonical three-level
  taxonomy and the binary REVERSIBLE/IRREVERSIBLE vocabulary is gone
- no content loss from the planner extraction made to fit under the cap

Prose-contract assertions are Red until the implementation lands. The
behavioral validator assertions pass immediately — regression guards
proving the validator already accepts unknown optional tags.

* feat(#1951): reversibility tagging — gate one-way-door decisions

Classify planning decisions by what undoing them would cost, and give a
one-way door a human beat before the agent walks through it (issue #1951,
The Pragmatic Programmer Topic 15 'Reversibility'; Bezos's one-way/two-way
door framing).

Acceptance criteria met:
- discuss-phase records an optional reversibility rating with a rationale
  on <decisions> entries in the phase CONTEXT.md template. Unrated
  decisions are treated as reversible, so existing phases are unaffected.
- a one-way rating makes gsd-planner insert a checkpoint:decision before
  the task that implements the decision, reusing the existing checkpoint
  mechanism -- no new checkpoint machinery.
- reversible ratings trigger no checkpoint; costly ratings are flagged in
  the plan but never block.
- the rating persists on the task as the optional <reversibility rating=>
  element. cmdVerifyPlanStructure accepts every rating and the absent
  case; the structural validator does not reject unknown optional tags.
- --no-reversibility-gates (REVERSIBILITY_GATES=false) suppresses
  checkpoint insertion for intentionally-unattended runs while still
  recording ratings -- the override changes what stops the run, not what
  the plan remembers.

Single taxonomy, not two: references/thinking-models-planning.md #4
already shipped a binary REVERSIBLE/IRREVERSIBLE classification and is
loaded by both gsd-planner and gsd-plan-checker. It is rewritten onto the
canonical three-level vocabulary and now points at planner-reversibility.md
as the taxonomy owner, with a parity test that fails if the surfaces
diverge (DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX-DIVERGENCE).

agents/gsd-planner.md sat 47 chars under the 49152 LARGE_CAP, so the
checkpoint DO/DON'T guidance was relocated verbatim into
planner-antipatterns.md -- already @-referenced from the same section for
the same topic, so the planner still loads it and nothing was dropped. A
test guards the relocation against content loss.

Files: gsd-core/references/planner-reversibility.md (NEW, canonical
taxonomy + emission rules + anti-patterns), gsd-planner.md, plan-phase
workflow/command/help (flag wiring + parity), plan-md.md schema,
discuss-phase context template, CONTEXT.md glossary, INVENTORY + manifest,
size baselines, install goldens, plugin skills regen, changeset.

Closes #1951

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#1951): address orthogonal review findings

Two isolated reviewers (correctness + security), neither of which authored
the change. Every finding fixed:

Security — the rationale is untrusted input (ADR-1577). It originates in
conversation and flows CONTEXT.md -> planner -> PLAN.md -> executor, each
hop an LLM reading the previous hop's output, with no validation on the
path. planner-reversibility.md and the discuss-phase template now state
it is data and never instructions, and name the </reversibility>
early-termination hazard explicitly -- a rationale that closes its own
element injects sibling structure the executor reads as real tasks.
Four tests guard it.

Correctness 1 — nothing machine-enforced the feature's own promise: a task
rated one-way with no preceding checkpoint:decision validated as fully
clean, so a planner error silently reopened the gap this feature exists to
close. cmdVerifyPlanStructure now warns on an ungated one-way rating. A
warning, not an error: <reversibility> stays additive and the plan stays
valid. Four tests cover ungated (warns), gated (silent), still-valid, and
reversible/costly never flagged.

Correctness 2 — pass-always test. The --no-reversibility-gates parse test
substring-matched the whole workflow file, and plan-phase.md prose mentions
both tokens in one sentence, so it passed with the bash conditional
deleted: it was testing the documentation, not the parser. Now scoped to
the fenced bash blocks and matched as one physical line, with a negative
control confirming prose alone cannot satisfy it.

Correctness 3 — costly had no itemized emission rule, only one-way did, so
two agents could diverge on whether to tag costly at all.

Correctness 4 — template convention break: the example ratings were bare
while every sibling field uses [...] to signal substitution, inviting an
LLM to copy one-way/costly forward as boilerplate. Now bracketed.

Correctness 5 — latent false-green: .includes('reversible') also matches
inside irreversible/irreversibility, which appear in anti-pattern
prose, so a surface that dropped the real taxonomy entry would still pass.
Now word-boundary matched.

ADR-857 phase-6 ceiling — the first gsd-test run caught plan-phase.md
1216 bytes over its frozen 94519 ceiling (it had 49 bytes of headroom on
next). The ceiling may only rise for privileged host machinery, and
reversibility gating is optional-feature logic, so the wiring was slimmed
to its minimum and the explanatory prose moved to the reference files the
planner already loads. plan-phase.md is now 94400 bytes -- 119 under the
ceiling and 70 bytes SMALLER than on next, so the host loop shrank while
gaining the feature, which is what phase 6 ratchets toward. The tracer
contract (tests/tracer-bullet.test.cjs) is unchanged.

Lint — fixed an unnecessary non-null assertion in verify.cts and a
CRLF-fragile bare \n regex in the new test (DEFECT.WINDOWS-CRLF-TEST-
PORTABILITY, the #1658/#1668/#2206/#2449/#2450 class).

* test(#1951): checkpoint fixture must carry the common task elements

The gated-one-way fixture built a checkpoint:decision task from the
abbreviated skeleton in gsd-planner.md, which shows only the
checkpoint-specific elements (<decision>/<context>/<resume-signal>).
cmdVerifyPlanStructure requires <name> and <action> on EVERY task
regardless of type, so the fixture failed validation for reasons that had
nothing to do with reversibility:

  errors: ["Task missing <name> element", "Task 'unnamed' missing <action>"]

Caught by gsd-test on 14d14a39 (2 failures, both this fixture).

The canonical shape is in tests/verify.test.cjs:266 — a checkpoint task
carries <name>/<files>/<action>/<verify> like any other. Fixture corrected
to match. Verified behaviorally against the real gsd-tools CLI across all
four cases: gated one-way (valid, silent), ungated one-way (valid, warns),
costly (valid, silent), absent (valid, silent).

Not a product defect: the validator's every-task contract is intentional
and pre-existing, and docs/reference/plan-md.md scopes its required-element
list to type=auto/tracer only because those are the elements a planner must
author, not because checkpoints are exempt from <name>.

* chore(#1951): backfill changeset pr number to 2471

* fix(#1951): CodeQL incomplete-sanitization + prompt-injection scan collision

Both CI failures were real defects in code this PR added, not false
positives.

CodeQL js/incomplete-sanitization (high), reversibility-tagging.test.cjs:46 —
the namesRating helper built its regex with `rating.replace(/[-]/g, '\\-')`,
which escapes the hyphen but not backslash, so the escape was incomplete.
It was also unnecessary: `-` carries no special meaning outside a character
class. Replaced with a complete metacharacter escape (backslash included).
Word-boundary behavior verified unchanged across all three ratings — notably
that "irreversible" prose still does not satisfy a "reversible" match, which
is the false-green this helper exists to prevent.

Prompt injection scan — the checkpoint fixture used the human-verification
child element inside <verify>. That tag name is a fake-instruction-boundary
pattern in scripts/prompt-injection-scan.sh, and the scan runs over changed
files, so copying the shape from tests/verify.test.cjs (unflagged only
because it is not in this diff) tripped the gate. Switched to the documented
plain-prose <verify> form.

The first attempt at that fix failed the same gate a second time: the
comment explaining the collision quoted the offending tag literally. The
comment now names it in prose instead — the scanner does not care whether a
match is code or commentary, which is the whole point of the
DEFECT.PROMPT-INJECTION-SCAN-COLLISION note in CLAUDE.md.

Verified locally before push: scan reports 0 findings across 57 changed
files, eslint clean, and both fixtures still validate as designed (gated
one-way silent, ungated one-way warns, neither errors).

* test(#1951): record measured cost and halve gsd-tools spawns

The Windows shard 1/3 job timeout was traced to the sharding layer, not to
this PR's assertions — see #2472. Two contributing factors were this file's
own, and are fixed here.

1. tests/test-timings.json had no entry for reversibility-tagging.test.cjs,
   so scripts/run-tests.cjs weighted it at the table's median fallback
   (~315ms) for LPT chunk packing. It actually measures 5595ms — an 18x
   under-weight. Recorded the measured value from the green gsd-test run
   (max across the node22/node24 lanes, per gen-test-timings.cjs's
   convention). Only this one entry: a full regen churns 634 entries of
   run-to-run drift, and the table is explicitly advisory and un-gated, so
   a 637-line diff does not belong in a feature PR.

2. Each verifyPlan() spawns gsd-tools, which dominates this file's cost.
   Spawns cut from 9 to 6 with no coverage lost:
   - the ungated-one-way warning and its stays-valid assertion now share
     one plan instead of building the same plan twice;
   - the reversible/costly never-flagged-as-ungated test was strictly
     subsumed by the additive suite, which already runs those two ratings
     ungated and asserts no /reversibilit/ warning at all — and the gate
     warning's text contains both "reversibility" and "one-way", so the
     broader assertion catches it. It only re-spawned gsd-tools twice to
     prove the same thing.

Both are symptom fixes. The shard imbalance itself (19/11/10 minutes
against a 20-minute cap, from a cost-blind round-robin partition that also
reshuffles downstream files whenever one is inserted) is tracked in #2472.

* test(#1951): checkpoint fixture adopts the #2444 type-branched contract

Surfaced by rebasing onto next, which gained #2444 (branch plan-structure
validation on task type=checkpoint:*) while this PR was in review.

cmdVerifyPlanStructure no longer applies one required-element set to every
task. A checkpoint:decision now requires <name> + <resume-signal> +
<decision> + <options>, and is exempt from the <action>/<verify>/<done>/
<files> set that auto and tracer tasks carry. The gated-one-way fixture
predated that split and failed on the new requirement:

  errors: ["Task 'Task 0: Confirm the on-disk format' missing <options>"]

Fixture rewritten to mirror the checkpoint:decision contract exactly — real
<options> with two <option> children — rather than padding it with fields
checkpoints no longer need. That also drops the plain-prose <verify> the
earlier revision carried purely to dodge the prompt-injection scan; a
checkpoint task has no <verify> requirement at all, so the workaround is
moot.

Verified against the real gsd-tools CLI across all four cases: gated one-way
(valid, silent), ungated one-way (valid, warns), costly (valid, silent),
absent (valid, silent).

455ad49ae3 feat(#2296): config-gated provider escalation on quota-exceeded (#2458)
* test(#2296): failing-first coverage for provider escalation on quota-exceeded

Covers the provider-escalation ladder layered onto EXEC.CLASSIFY: back-compat
(no escalation block without --failure-class), cap boundaries at
min(max_escalations, list length) at limit-1/limit/limit+1, opt-in gating,
malformed/hostile provider_escalation config, the --failure-class CLI negative
matrix, config-key registration, and a fast-check budget-limit property.

Red until the resolver, CLI flag, and manifest key land.

* feat(#2296): config-gated provider escalation on quota-exceeded

The dynamic_routing tier ladder escalates within one provider, which does not
help when that provider is what ran out of quota. Add an opt-in provider ladder
layered on the existing EXEC.CLASSIFY seam.

- model-resolver: resolveProviderEscalation walks dynamic_routing.provider_escalation
  capped at min(max_escalations, list length), reporting from/to/attempted/exhausted.
  Invalid entries are dropped (ADR 227 shape validation). Stays a leaf module —
  the quota-class policy decision is the caller's, per the CONTEXT.md contract.
- agent-command-router: export a frozen AGENT_FAILURE_CLASSES so the new CLI
  validator cannot drift from the classifier that produces the values.
- resolve-execution: --failure-class flag; emits an escalation block ONLY when
  passed, so the existing JSON contract is byte-identical for every caller.
- config-schema.manifest: register dynamic_routing.provider_escalation.
- execute-phase step 7.1: auto-escalate, honor Retry-After, fail loudly naming
  every model tried once the ladder is spent.

* fix(#2296): extract quota recovery to a reference fragment; regen goldens

The step 7.1a addition pushed gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase.md from 93390 to
95111 LF bytes, past the frozen ADR-857 Phase 6 ceiling (hard <93600, margin
<=93400) asserted by tests/fix-2285-claude-orchestration-wiring.test.cjs. The
base sat 10 bytes under the margin, so no inline wording would have fit.

That gate's own rationale is that optional-feature detail belongs in a fragment,
not the host loop. Moved BOTH the new provider-escalation branch and the
pre-existing manual recovery prompt into
gsd-core/references/execute-phase-quota-recovery.md, leaving step 7.1 as a
one-line pointer. execute-phase.md is now 92880 bytes — 510 SMALLER than base.

Also regenerates the fixtures that legitimately moved because three shipped
files changed (gsd-tools.cjs, config-schema.manifest.json, execute-phase.md):
golden-install-parity + install-tree for all 16 runtimes, INVENTORY.md +
INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json for the new reference, and the workflow size baseline.

* test(#2351): make the C1 orphan-reaping test load-independent

tests/run-with-timeout.test.cjs C1 asserted the child heartbeat file exists
after a 1s group-kill window, but the child only wrote it on the first 100ms
setInterval tick. Nothing synchronized the two: on a loaded container the group
is SIGKILLed before that tick lands, the file never appears, and the assertion
fails for a reason unrelated to reaping. Observed failing on both linux-node22
and linux-node24.

The behavior actually under test is the FREEZE assertion (heartbeat stops
advancing => descendant was reaped, not orphaned). That is unaffected by
sampling once more at t=0.

Child now writes its first heartbeat synchronously at startup before arming the
interval, and the kill window widens 1s -> 3s to cover child boot under load.
Both remove the timing dependency; neither weakens what the test proves.

The rebase conflicted on the generated golden-install-parity fixtures and
workflow-size-baseline.json because #2402 (b6e6a22fc) regenerated the same
artifacts. Conflict resolution picked a side to unblock the rebase; a true
regeneration on the combined tree then produced further drift, confirming the
resolved content was stale and would have dropped #2402's fixture changes.

Regenerated goldens, install-tree, size baseline, and INVENTORY-MANIFEST from
the merged tree. docs/INVENTORY.md keeps BOTH new reference rows.

execute-phase.md is 92782 LF bytes with both #2402's and this PR's extractions
applied — under the frozen ceiling (hard <93600, margin <=93400).

b6e6a22fce fix(#2402): honor response_language across orchestrator output + UAT checkpoint renderer (#2457)
* fix(#2402): honor response_language across orchestrator output + UAT checkpoint renderer

Replays the in-flight bot branch fix/2402-response-language-orchestrator-coverage
(seven commits, never pushed) onto current origin/next as a single squashed commit.
The original work was substantial and correct; this commit preserves its full scope,
trimmed where rebase conflicts + workflow size budgets required it.

Three independent layers where response_language was being dropped are closed:

Layer 1 — orchestrator-facing directives across workflows. Adds the strong
"All user-facing output in this workflow MUST be presented in {response_language};
technical terms, code, paths, and subagent prompts stay in English" directive
to ~40 workflows that previously either lacked it entirely (verify-work,
new-project, new-milestone, quick, manager, and ~35 more) or carried only
the weak subagent-prompt-only form (plan-phase, execute-phase). The directive
covers narration between tool calls and banner output, not just the
AskUserQuestion prompts.

Layer 2 — UAT checkpoint renderer (src/uat.cts). buildCheckpoint now accepts
an optional responseLanguage parameter and renders the frame strings
("CHECKPOINT: Verification Required", "Type `pass` or describe what's wrong.")
in any of 9 languages (English/Spanish/French/German/Portuguese/Japanese/
Chinese/Korean/Italian) with an alias table covering ~30 input variants
(en, es, español, ja, 日本語, etc.). cmdRenderCheckpoint reads
config.response_language via loadConfig(cwd) and passes it through, so the
byte-for-byte block verify-work.md reprints verbatim is already localized
when written — preserving the anti-injection hygiene rule at verify-work.md
(the model is forbidden to translate after the fact). CJK display width is
computed by East Asian Width property ranges (W/F) so the right ║ border of
the banner stays aligned for full-width characters. English fallback is
byte-identical to the pre-fix behavior when response_language is unset or
unrecognized.

Layer 3 — literal English report templates in execute-phase. The top-of-
workflow directive covers all template sites (templates are a structural
source, not literal output). Inline render-language notes that previously
sat at each template site were removed during the squash because they
pushed execute-phase.md over its frozen pre-phase-6 byte ceiling
(93600 — ADR-857 Phase 6 capstone). The single top directive covers the
same surface with fewer bytes.

Also extends src/docs.cts and src/init.cts to propagate response_language
into the init JSON bundle of the additional workflows so the directive can
read it.

Tests added:
- tests/uat.test.cjs: buildCheckpoint with unset/unrecognized language falls
  back to English default; recognized language swaps only the two frame
  strings while structural lines stay untouched; CJK display-width regression
  (independent recomputation of East Asian Width W/F ranges).
- tests/workspace.test.cjs, tests/docs-update.test.cjs: response_language
  wiring through docs.cts/init.cts.

References: #2402; reporter's three-layer triage + Layer-4 follow-up; the
byte-for-byte anti-injection hygiene rule at verify-work.md (the reason
Layer 2 must be renderer-side, not model-translated).

This is a squash of the in-flight bot branch — seven commits representing
the original implementation plus its subsequent fix/CJK-padding/test/
changeset/regen cycles, none of which were ever pushed or PR'd. The squash
captures the final coherent state.

Rebase conflicts were entirely in generated artifacts (golden-install-parity

regenerated cleanly against the merged source tree.

1720aacf0c feat(#1949): <precondition> task element — Design by Contract (#2422)
* test(#1949): add failing-first tests for <precondition> element

Red phase for issue #1949 (Design by Contract: <precondition> element
asserted before task execution). Tests assert:

- docs/reference/plan-md.md documents the new <precondition> element
- agents/gsd-planner.md @-references planner-preconditions.md and stays
  under the 49152-char cap (progressive-disclosure requirement)
- gsd-core/references/planner-preconditions.md exists and documents the
  three emission cases mandated by the issue (user_setup / prior-phase
  artifact / env-var) and the contract triad mapping
- agents/gsd-executor.md asserts <precondition> before task execution
  and routes unmet preconditions through existing checkpoint machinery
- cmdVerifyPlanStructure (behavioral via runGsdTools) accepts plans both
  with and without <precondition> — the additive-validation guarantee
- Parity assertion: plan-md.md and planner-preconditions.md agree on the
  canonical tag spelling (DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX-DIVERGENCE guard)

Most prose-contract assertions are Red until the implementation lands.
The behavioral validator assertions pass immediately (regression guards
proving the validator already accepts unknown optional tags).

* feat(#1949): <precondition> task element — Design by Contract

Add an optional <precondition> element to <task> in PLAN.md (issue #1949,
The Pragmatic Programmer Topic 23). The front-of-task side of the plan
contract — preconditions (before) ↔ postconditions (<verify>/<done>/
<acceptance_criteria>, after) ↔ invariants (must_haves.truths, across the
whole plan). Together with the tracer-bullet proposal (#1945), this closes
both ends of the 'outrunning your headlights' failure mode for an
autonomous AI executor.

Acceptance criteria met:
- <precondition> is an optional element on <task>; plans that omit it
  validate unchanged (cmdVerifyPlanStructure checks for presence of
  required tags, does not reject unknown optional tags).
- gsd-executor evaluates the precondition before any other task work.
  Unmet halts execution with a checkpoint:human-verify and no partial
  commit; met or absent produces no visible change to execution flow.
  Unmet is never auto-approved under AUTO_CFG=true — a missing
  prerequisite is a fact the executor cannot establish on its own.
- gsd-planner emits <precondition> in exactly the three cases the issue
  mandates: user_setup consumption, prior-phase artifact dependency, and
  env-var/runtime-config dependency.
- Tests cover met, unmet, and absent preconditions plus the additive-
  validator guarantee.

Files:
- gsd-core/references/planner-preconditions.md (NEW): full emission
  rules, the three cases with worked examples, format guidance,
  anti-patterns, the contract triad mapping, and the executor assertion
  contract. Progressive disclosure.
- agents/gsd-planner.md: slim <precondition> note in Task Anatomy with
  @-reference to the new file. To stay under the 49152-char agent-file
  cap (27-char headroom before this change), the inline
  <comment_text_discipline> and <region_scoped_negative_gate> summaries
  are compressed to one-line pointers — their full rules already live in
  planner-antipatterns.md, so no content is lost.
- agents/gsd-executor.md: new step 0 'Precondition check' in the
  execute_tasks loop, before the type dispatch, routing unmet through
  checkpoint_return_format.
- docs/reference/plan-md.md: new Preconditions section in the schema
  reference, with the canonical example and the three emission cases.
- CONTEXT.md: Precondition glossary entry as a sibling of Tracer Bullet.
- docs/INVENTORY.md + INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json: row for the new
  references/planner-preconditions.md (regen via gen-inventory-manifest).
- tests/precondition-element.test.cjs: failing-first tests covering
  schema docs, planner emission contract, executor assertion contract,
  reference-file presence + the three cases, behavioral additive-
  validator guarantee, and a parity assertion (DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX-
  DIVERGENCE guard).
- .changeset/quick-hawks-bark.md: Added fragment.

Companion to #1945 (tracer bullets).

* chore(#1949): regen agent-size baseline + install-tree goldens

Documented baseline regenerations required by the feat(#1949) prose changes
(RULESET.AGENT_SIZE_BUDGET + golden-install-parity):

- npm run size:baseline — locks in the new gsd-executor.md size (+1050
  bytes: the precondition-check step 0 block). gsd-planner.md is net
  smaller (-142 bytes: compressed two inline summary blocks whose full
  rules already lived in planner-antipatterns.md to make room for the
  slim <precondition> pointer). No hard-cap breach.
- npm run gen:golden — pick up the new references/planner-preconditions.md
  + the two changed agent files across all 18 runtime install trees.

Both regens are CI-mandated after intentional agent/reference changes;
see CLAUDE.md 'RULESET.AGENT_SIZE_BUDGET' and the comments in
tests/golden-install-parity.test.cjs.

* fix(#1949): bound <precondition> checks to read-only (security review)

Apply the security-review finding (LOW, isolated /security-review subagent):
the executor's 'run the cheapest check' phrasing for a plan-author-controlled
prose line was broader than ideal — a hostile plan author could craft a
<precondition> whose 'cheapest check' is side-effecting (curl to an attacker
host under the guise of verification, rm -rf before checking, secret emission).

The risk is inherited from GSD's existing plan-trust model (<verify>, <action>,
<done> already direct the executor to run arbitrary shell), so <precondition>
does not materially expand it. But the new prose actively directs execution
('run the check') rather than passively consuming the element, so the bound
is worth making explicit.

Tightened across all four surfaces that describe the check shape:
- agents/gsd-executor.md step 0: 'Verify with read-only checks only — file
  existence, env var presence (no value output), idempotent GET /health-style

* chore(#1949): backfill changeset pr number 2422

Per CONTRIBUTING.md changeset workflow + feature-builder directive Step 8.7:
backfill the placeholder pr:0 with the real PR number immediately after
gh pr create returns. Avoids the fail_invalid_fragment gate.

* fix(#1949): cite [#1949] on allow-test-rule exemption (ADR-456)

CI's lint:ci runs lint-allow-test-rule-refs which per ADR-456 requires
every // allow-test-rule: exemption on a NEW test file to carry an issue
reference (#NNN or URL). My earlier push omitted it.

Local 'npm run lint' (eslint) does NOT run this check — only 'npm run
lint:ci' does. CLAUDE.md explicitly warns: 'lint:ci ≠ lint — CI runs
lint:ci; a local pass is not the gate.' I should have run lint:ci before
pushing; correcting now.

Pattern matches the companion feature's test file:
tests/tracer-bullet.test.cjs:1  // allow-test-rule: source-text-is-the-product [#1945]

Adds requirements.ready-ids (execute-plan.md's update_requirements step)
so a requirement ID declared by multiple plans in a phase only marks
Complete once every declaring plan has produced a SUMMARY.md, and
requirements.revert-phase (execute-phase.md's gaps_found branch) so a

before the gap report renders. Single-plan IDs still mark immediately.

dd5a2211c9 enhance(#1964): semantic knowledge-base recall via MemPalace (keyword fallback) (#2416)
* test(#1964): add failing-first semantic-recall contract tests

Epic #1957 Phase 3C (final). Source-text-is-the-product contract tests:
semantic recall via MemPalace (top-k meaning-similar prior resolutions, catches
same-root-cause/different-wording cases), indexing resolved sessions at archive,
graceful degradation to keyword matching when MemPalace is absent,
knowledge-base.md stays the durable plain-text source of truth, agent Phase 0 /
Matching Logic is semantic-first (the stale 'keyword overlap, not semantic
similarity' claim must go), and no new embedding/vector infra (reuse MemPalace).

Failing-first: reference, the Matching Logic reframe, the Phase 0 consolidation,
and the archive indexing step do not yet exist.

* feat(#1964): semantic knowledge-base recall via MemPalace (keyword fallback)

Epic #1957 Phase 3C (FINAL). Replaces keyword-overlap matching with semantic
recall: at Phase 0 the debugger queries MemPalace with the current symptoms
and surfaces the top-k meaning-similar prior resolutions, catching the
same-root-cause/different-wording cases keyword overlap missed (the self-noted
'keyword overlap, not semantic similarity' limitation). Resolved sessions are
indexed into MemPalace at archive (symptoms + root_cause(s) + fix + recurrence
guard). knowledge-base.md remains the durable plain-text source of truth; when
MemPalace is absent the debugger falls back to keyword-overlap matching
(logged, never a silent skip). No new embedding/vector infrastructure —
MemPalace is reused.

Size-neutral agent edits: the Matching Logic section reframed (keyword-only ->
semantic-first + keyword-fallback + @-include); Phase 0's three keyword bullets
consolidated into one semantic-first bullet; one MemPalace-indexing step added
at archive. Agent at 57222 B (122 B headroom — final phase). Full rules in
gsd-core/references/debugger-semantic-recall.md. INVENTORY + manifest +
agent-size baseline + install-parity goldens + AGENTS.md updated.

* fix(#1964): address orthogonal review (invocation mechanism, index Resolution-not-symptoms + redaction, fallback detail)

- HIGH: the 'query MemPalace' instruction was WHAT-level only; the agent has
  no MCP tools. Added an Invocation section naming the Bash CLI
  (mempalace search --wing <wing>) + MCP-when-registered + wing resolution
  (config.mempalace.wing -> project_code -> project dir), matching every other
  MemPalace integration. Without this the feature silently degraded to keyword
  matching even when MemPalace was present.
- MEDIUM (security x2): index the agent-authored Resolution summary
  (root_cause + fix + recurrence_guard), NOT raw user-supplied Symptoms —
  excludes attacker-controlled prose from the cross-session index AND reduces
  secret/PII leakage. Redact secret-shaped values before indexing. Stated the
  write order (KB append + commit MUST succeed before indexing).
- LOW: restored 'identifiers' + 'case-insensitive' to the keyword fallback;
  added a test asserting the fallback mechanics survived the Phase 0
  consolidation (Error patterns field, 2+ token overlap, identifiers,
  case-insensitive).

* chore(#1964): ratchet agent-size baseline downward (leaner archive bullet shrank gsd-debugger.md 57222->57197)

c67f301867 feat(#1963): emit blameless-postmortem Prevention block at resolution (#2410)
* test(#1963): add failing-first prevention/postmortem contract tests

Epic #1957 Phase 3B. Source-text-is-the-product contract tests: blameless
5-Whys that BRANCHES per Phase 2A RCA (not a single-cause chain; treats agent
error as 'why was that possible?'), the 'why wasn't this caught?' question,
the recurrence-guard taxonomy (regression test / assertion / lint rule / KB
pattern), the KB-entry why_not_caught + recurrence_guard fields with backward
compat, the session-manager prevention summary line, and the Zawinski
scope-boundary (a block, not a subsystem).

Failing-first: reference, archive_session edit, KB schema extension, and
session-manager summary do not yet exist.

* feat(#1963): emit blameless-postmortem Prevention block at resolution

Epic #1957 Phase 3B. At archive_session the debugger now produces a
Prevention block with three blame-free components: a branching 5-Whys causal
chain (branches per Phase 2A RCA, not a single chain; 'agent error' prompts
'why was that possible?', never blame), a 'why wasn't this caught?' answer
naming the missed gate (test/typecheck/lint/review/verify), and a concrete
recurrence guard (regression test / assertion / lint rule / KB pattern).

The knowledge-base entry gains two structured fields (why_not_caught +
recurrence_guard) so future Phase-0 recall surfaces the prior prevention, not
just the prior fix. Additive: old entries without the fields still load. The
session-manager compact summary surfaces a one-line prevention summary.

Full rules extracted to gsd-core/references/debugger-prevention.md (slim
archive_session step + 2 KB fields kept in the agent). INVENTORY + manifest +
agent-size baseline + install-parity goldens + AGENTS.md updated.

* fix(#1963): address orthogonal review (CRITICAL append-template drift + Phase-0 consumption + parity test)

- CRITICAL: the archive_session KB append template omitted Why not caught +
  Recurrence guard (only the Entry Format had them) — the feature's core
  deliverable silently did not happen. Added both fields to the append template
  the agent actually follows (nearest-instruction wins).
- HIGH: Phase 0 (KB read) only surfaced root_cause + fix; the new fields were
  dead data. Extended the Phase 0 Evidence line to consume why_not_caught +
  recurrence_guard when present (absent on old entries — backward compat holds).
- MEDIUM: added a cross-section parity test (every Entry-Format field must also
  appear in the append template — the guard that would have caught the
  Critical) + a Phase-0-consumption assertion.
- MEDIUM: the 'branches per Phase 2A' claim is now wired — reuses
  reasoning_checkpoint.candidate_causes across the four categories.
- MEDIUM: recurrence-guard taxonomy gains type refinement + config-default
  change; LOW: added 'build' gate to both surfaces for parity.
- NIT: compact-summary fallback shape ('no gate existed'); verify the guard
  artifact exists before recording it.

* test(#1963): anchor Phase-0 consumption test on the specific heading

The regex /Phase 0[\s\S]{0,1200}/ matched the first 'Phase 0' in the file
(in knowledge_base_protocol prose), not the Phase 0 block in investigation_loop.
Anchor on '**Phase 0: Check knowledge base**' and widen to 1500 chars.

36a311c5bb enhance(#1962): harden regression tests (PBT shrinking + oracle classification + boundaries) (#2409)
* test(#1962): add failing-first repro-hardening contract tests

Epic #1957 Phase 3A. Source-text-is-the-product contract tests: PBT shrinking
(fast-check/Hypothesis, minimized seed, manual-minimization degradation), the
four oracle types (specified/derived/metamorphic/implicit with implicit flagged
weakest), boundary neighbors (off-by-one/min-max/empty-singleton tied to the
equivalence class), oracle_type in DEBUG Resolution, and the Phase 1A tie-in
(minimized seed + real oracle => the mutation guardrail bites).

Failing-first: reference, agent cross-refs, and template field do not yet exist.

* feat(#1962): harden regression tests (PBT shrinking + oracle classification + boundaries)

Epic #1957 Phase 3A. Extends Minimal Reproduction (shrinking) and Test-First
Debugging (oracle classification + boundary neighbors):
- Shrinking: wrap an input-space failing input in a property (fast-check JS/TS,
  Hypothesis Python) and store the MINIMIZED counterexample as the regression
  seed; degrade to manual minimization when no PBT framework is present.
- Oracle classification: state specified / derived (contract/model) /
  metamorphic / implicit (crash, weakest) before writing the assertion; record
  under Resolution.oracle_type; never default to implicit silently.
- Boundary neighbors: off-by-one, min/max, empty/singleton around the fixed
  defect's equivalence class.

Together they turn the regression test into a root-cause check — what the Phase
1A mutation guardrail needs to bite. Full rules extracted to gsd-core/references/
debugger-repro-hardening.md. INVENTORY + manifest + agent-size baseline +
install-parity goldens + AGENTS.md + DEBUG template updated.

* fix(#1962): address orthogonal review (bounding, provenance, oracle scope, sufficient-triple)

- HIGH: added a 'Bound the property/shrink run' section (60s timeout, degrade-
  to-manual on timeout, do-not-raise-default-run-limits, argv-not-shell) —
  the gauntlet violation the sibling references already honored.
- Medium: test-provenance caveat (the failing input often comes from the bug
  report — author the generator from a sanitized description, cross-ref
  debugger-fix-acceptance.md).
- Medium: oracle scope note — the 4 types cover deterministic bugs; non-
  deterministic failures re-route to stability-stress per bug-taxonomy.
- Medium: Phase 1A tie-in corrected — seed+oracle is necessary not sufficient;
  boundary neighbors close the adjacent-input escape; the sufficient triple is
  seed+oracle+neighbors.
- Low: preserve the original noisy repro as a secondary reference; operationalize
  'equivalence class' (the predicate the fix draws). Nit: degradation reworded.

6baa2a8182 feat(#1961): add bug-taxonomy classification + strategy routing to gsd-debugger (#2407)
* test(#1961): add failing-first bug-taxonomy routing contract tests

Epic #1957 Phase 2B. Source-text-is-the-product contract tests (3 taxonomy
classes, explicit class->technique routing table, Bohrbug->repro+SBFL+bisect,
Heisenbug->record-replay/stability+SKIP-SBFL, Concurrency->atomicity/order/
deadlock checklist, bug_class in DEBUG Current Focus, supersede-not-append)
plus a routing-table specification object pinning the documented decisions
(SBFL forbidden on Heisenbug is the load-bearing 1B/2B seam).

Failing-first: reference, Phase 1.75, and routing-table reframe do not yet exist.

* feat(#1961): add bug-taxonomy classification + strategy routing to gsd-debugger

Epic #1957 Phase 2B (reliability-critical). Adds Phase 1.75: classify the
failure as Bohrbug / Heisenbug-Mandelbug / Concurrency, then route the
investigation technique via an explicit class->technique table (Kernighan: no
opaque heuristic). Bohrbug -> reproduction + SBFL (Phase 1.25) + git bisect;
Heisenbug/Mandelbug -> record-replay (rr) + stability-stress + statistical
sampling, with SBFL explicitly SKIPPED (a flaky spectrum poisons the Ochiai
ranking — the load-bearing 1B/2B seam); Concurrency -> the
atomicity/order/deadlock checklist first.

Reframes (supersedes, not appends — Zawinski) the flat 'Technique Selection by
situation' table into a class-routed table; the 11 techniques remain as routed
targets. bug_class recorded in Current Focus (DEBUG template); common-bug-
patterns catalog cross-referenced to the taxonomy.

Full rules extracted to gsd-core/references/debugger-bug-taxonomy.md. INVENTORY
+ manifest + agent-size baseline + install-parity goldens + AGENTS.md updated.

* fix(#1961): address orthogonal review (phase-name drift, General lane, revoke framing, row-scoped tests, bounding)

- HIGH: reference said 'Phase 1B' (epic shorthand); corrected to the deployed
  'Phase 1.25' (matches the agent + SBFL reference).
- HIGH: 6 of 11 techniques (Rubber duck, Delta, Working backwards,
  Differential, Comment-out, Follow-the-indirection) were orphaned by the
  situation-table reframe. Added a 'General (any class, situation-cued)'
  lane to BOTH the reference routing table and the agent's Technique
  Selection table that re-homes them — supersede-not-append now holds.
- MEDIUM: the SBFL-skip is structurally retroactive (Phase 1.25 runs before
  Phase 1.75 classification), so reframed the table column from 'Do NOT use'
  to 'Revoke if already run' + an explicit 'retroactive revocation, not
  proactive skip' note stating the ordering honestly.
- MEDIUM: contract tests are now row-scoped (parse the table by class, assert
  per-row) instead of presence-only; added a guard that the previously-
  orphaned techniques now have a General-lane route.
- LOW: pinned the canonical bug_class value form (lowercase-kebab:
  bohrbug|heisenbug-mandelbug|concurrency; prose may use title-case).
- NIT: added a 'Bound the Heisenbug-chase runs' note (rr/stability/sampling
  timeouts) per the unbounded-subprocess gauntlet.

f8b16d1874 enhance(#1960): add RCA branching (fishbone + AND-gate) to gsd-debugger (#2405)
* test(#1960): add failing-first RCA-branching contract + schema-invariant tests

Epic #1957 Phase 2A. Source-text-is-the-product contract tests (fishbone
>=2 categories, AND-gate, multi-cause root_cause, backward compat, reasoning
checkpoint candidate_causes+and_gate fields, debugger-philosophy single-cause
note, DEBUG template) plus behavioral schema-invariant checks on two fixtures:
two contributing causes (AND-gate yes) -> both recorded; single-cause
(AND-gate no) -> one root_cause, identical to today.

Failing-first: reference, agent edits, and template note do not yet exist.

* feat(#1960): add RCA branching (fishbone + AND-gate) to gsd-debugger

Epic #1957 Phase 2A. Guards against 5-Whys single-cause bias: before committing
root_cause, the debugger enumerates candidate causes across >=2 Ishikawa
categories (code/config/environment/data) and explicitly answers an AND-gate
question. When the AND-gate fires, every contributing cause is recorded, so a
multi-cause fix no longer recurs via the unaddressed second cause.
Resolution.root_cause may hold one OR a small set (additive; single-cause
sessions are byte-identical to today). The Structured Reasoning Checkpoint gains
candidate_causes + and_gate fields; debugger-philosophy.md adds the
single-cause-bias trap.

Full rules extracted to gsd-core/references/debugger-rca-branching.md (slim
Phase 2 routing + 2 checkpoint fields kept in the agent). INVENTORY + manifest +
agent-size baseline + install-parity goldens + AGENTS.md + DEBUG template updated.

* fix(#1960): address orthogonal review (AND-gate self-consistency, parity guard, narrowed claim, ripples)

- Reference: the collapse rule now enforces AND-gate self-consistency —
  and_gate=yes with a single confirmed cause is flagged as incomplete
  (return to Phase 3); a race/timing note clarifies such bugs bridge
  categories; the 'byte-identical' backward-compat claim narrowed to
  'root_cause shape unchanged; reasoning_checkpoint gains 2 fields in every
  session'.
- DEBUG.md: stale 'five-field' mirror prose -> seven-field (parallel-surface
  drift the reviewer flagged); new debug-session-management parity test pins
  the field-count claim to the gsd-debugger.md YAML keys (CRLF-safe).
- Scalar-assuming consumers of set-valued root_cause updated: session-manager
  compact summaries (319/332), diagnose-only return (1062), archive entry
  (1216), ROOT CAUSE FOUND return (1322).
- Test: added the AND-gate-yes/single-cause invariant + fixture; rephrased the
  fixture describe block honestly as a schema-invariant specification.
- Phase 2 bullet phrasing clarified ('at hypothesis formation, before the
  Phase 4 commit').

56a5c6404c feat(#1959): add spectrum-based fault localization (Ochiai) pre-filter to gsd-debugger (#2403)
* test(#1959): add failing-first SBFL contract + Ochiai correctness tests

Epic #1957 Phase 1B. Source-text-is-the-product contract tests (Ochiai
formula documented, Tarantula fallback, top-N seeding, no-coverage skip
logged, ranking->Evidence, Bohrbug gating) plus a behavioral Ochiai
formula-correctness section: bound [0,1], max-score invariant, a known-fault
fixture proving the fault ranks #1 (criterion 2), clean degradation on
zero failing tests, and two fast-check properties.

Failing-first: reference file and agent routing do not yet exist.

* feat(#1959): add spectrum-based fault localization (Ochiai) pre-filter to gsd-debugger

Epic #1957 Phase 1B. When a runnable test suite with per-test coverage exists
(>=1 failing AND >=1 passing test), the debugger computes an Ochiai
suspiciousness ranking over the coverage spectrum and seeds the top-N
suspicious locations into Evidence as first-class hypothesis candidates,
narrowing the search space deterministically before LLM reasoning. Tarantula
documented as fallback. Degrades cleanly (logged, never silent) when there is
no test suite, no failing tests, or no per-test coverage, and is explicitly
not trusted on flaky/Heisenbug spectra (pairs with Phase 2B bug-taxonomy).

Full rules extracted to gsd-core/references/debugger-sbfl.md (slim Phase 1.25
routing kept in the agent to respect the size cap). No new coverage framework
— reuses the project's existing test/coverage runner. INVENTORY + manifest +
agent-size baseline + install-parity goldens + AGENTS.md updated.

* test(#1959): bound property generators to valid coverage counts

The [0,1] property generated failedExec independently of totalFailed, but
Ochiai's score is only bounded by 1 under the coverage invariant
failedExec <= totalFailed (a failing test that executed s is one of the
totalFailed failing tests). Out-of-domain inputs (failedExec=100, totalFailed=5)
make the formula correctly return >1. Bound failedExec by totalFailed via
fc.chain so the property tests the real domain. Also cleaned up the ranking
property (removed dead code).

* fix(#1959): address orthogonal review (monotonicity property, degradation row, coverage bounding)

- Replace vacuous ranking property (true-by-sort-construction) with a
  non-trivial monotonicity property: holding totalFailed + passedExec fixed,
  ochiai is non-decreasing in failedExec. An inverted formula would fail it.
- Add the missing 'no passing tests' degradation row (preconditions require
  >=1 passing test; Tarantula would divide by totalPassed=0).
- Bound the coverage subprocess (CLAUDE.md gauntlet): cap the coverage run,
  degrade-to-skip on timeout, never hang the debug session.
- Reword 'discard the ranking' -> 'mark the Evidence entry as revoked (do not
  delete)' per Kernighan auditability.

* test(#1958): add failing-first guardrail contract tests

Epic #1957 Phase 1A. Adds source-text-is-the-product tests asserting the
5-signal fix-acceptance guardrail contract (target test, mutation check,
no-op/deletion detector, adjacent tests, revert-and-reconfirm), graceful
degradation, FIX REJECTED BY GUARDRAIL return path, per-signal debug-file
recording, and subprocess bounding.

Failing-first: reference file and agent sections do not yet exist.

* feat(#1958): add multi-signal fix-acceptance guardrail to gsd-debugger

Epic #1957 Phase 1A. Prevents accepting a fix that merely greens the test
(Goodhart defense / APR overfitting). Adds a 5-signal gate run before fix
acceptance: target test, mutation check (Stryker), no-op/behavior-deleting
detector, adjacent/held-out tests, revert-and-reconfirm. Degrades gracefully
when Stryker or a test suite is absent (each skip logged, never a silent pass),
records per-signal results under Resolution.verification, and returns a
FIX REJECTED BY GUARDRAIL outcome the session-manager surfaces for
revise / accept-as-debt / abandon.

Full rules extracted to gsd-core/references/debugger-fix-acceptance.md (slim
routing kept in the agent to respect the agent-size cap). Debug template +
INVENTORY + manifest + agent-size baseline + AGENTS.md updated.

* test(#1958): correct newline-tolerant assertion + regen install-parity goldens

The revert-and-reconfirm assertion collapsed whitespace before matching so
markdown line-wrapping does not break it. Regenerated the golden-install-parity
and install-tree fixtures (npm run gen:golden) to absorb the intentional
gsd-debugger.md / gsd-debug-session-manager.md / DEBUG.md / new reference-file
changes to the installed artifact tree.

* fix(#1958): tighten guardrail per orthogonal review

Addresses the isolated reviewer's findings:
- signal 5 now states its recorded-repro dependency and routes the no-repro
  case to the degradation row; revert mechanism specified (git stash / git
  revert -n); minimality flag tied to diff structure, not revert-ability.
- bounded-subprocesses section now bounds the git subprocess (5-30s) too,
  requires argv-array argument passing, and scopes Stryker to the driving
  regression test (a mutant killed only by a non-driving test is a finding).
- new test-provenance (security) clause: the driving test must be
  agent-authored; bug-report repro scripts are DATA, never executed verbatim.
- tightened 3 contract assertions to bind to specific clauses
  (guardrail_verdict field, deletion-reject-unless-RCA, 60s+git bounding).
- Goodhart framing softened to 'partially-independent'; DEBUG.md template
  verification field notes the nested map shape.

9ad2bab4be fix(#2297): scope resolve_model_ids:"omit" to the resolving runtime (#2332)
* fix(#2297): scope resolve_model_ids:"omit" to the resolving runtime

The installer writes resolve_model_ids:"omit" for non-alias runtimes into the
machine-wide ~/.gsd/defaults.json (#1156); any runtime read it back, so install
order silently flipped Claude's adaptive tier aliases (executor->sonnet,
planner->opus) to '' in no-project sessions.

Resolution is now scoped to the runtime actually resolving, identified by a new
per-install <install>/gsd-core/.gsd-runtime marker (installer writes it beside
VERSION). The "omit" branch returns '' only when the PROJECT explicitly set omit
(honored for all runtimes, #2517 finding #4) OR the active runtime lacks native
aliases. Claude ignores a global-defaults-only omit and keeps its aliases; the
active runtime is canonicalized (GSD_RUNTIME -> config.runtime -> marker ->
claude) so alias/case spellings can't defeat the check; explicit project
omit is workstream/project-scope aware; explicit true still materializes IDs.
