1fe85cd43e chore(#4244): ESLint rules for the #4220 Windows dirname-walk / TMPDIR-triad bug class (#4246)
* fix(#4244): repoint TEMP/TMP alongside TMPDIR and fix the sweepProtectSet fixed-point walk

Repo-wide sweep (ahead of adding lint rules for these exact bug classes)
found both incident patterns still live and unfixed on `next`:

- scripts/run-tests.cjs's sweepProtectSet walk stopped on
  `cur !== runTempRoot && cur.length > 1` — a POSIX-only sentinel.
  win32 dirname('D:\') is a fixed point (length 3, never satisfies
  `> 1`... wait, it does satisfy length>1), so a selected file living
  outside runTempRoot (the common case) spins the walk forever on
  Windows. Extracted a pure, exported computeSweepProtectSet helper
  that terminates on dirname(cur) === cur instead, with in-process
  RuleTester-style coverage for both win32 and posix paths.

- tests/run-tests-temp-root.test.cjs's own #4020 regression test set
  only TMPDIR on its runNode(...) child env. Node's os.tmpdir() never
  reads TMPDIR on Windows (only TEMP, then TMP), so the redirect
  silently no-oped there — masked because Windows CI died in the
  dirname-walk hang above before ever reaching this test.

- tests/config-schema.property.test.cjs's fallow config-set test had
  the same TMPDIR-only pattern, direct process.env assignment this
  time, restored in its own finally block.

Origin: #4220 and its shared root cause #4020.

* feat(#4244): require-full-tmpdir-triad and no-unbounded-dirname-walk ESLint rules

Two custom local ESLint rules catch the #4220 / #4020 Windows CI hang bug
class at author time, joining the ADR-1703 DEFECT.WINDOWS-TEST-PORTABILITY
catalog. Neither eslint-plugin-unicorn nor eslint-plugin-n has a rule for
either shape.

- local/require-full-tmpdir-triad: flags a TMPDIR environment override
  (direct process.env.TMPDIR assignment, or a TMPDIR property in a
  spawn-like call's env: object literal) not accompanied by TEMP and TMP
  in the same scope. Node's os.tmpdir() never reads TMPDIR on Windows.
  Registered on tests/**/*.cjs, matching the require-userprofile-with-home
  precedent.

- local/no-unbounded-dirname-walk: flags a while/do-while loop reassigning
  from dirname() with no fixed-point termination guard
  (dirname(cur) !== cur, or path.parse(cur).root). path.dirname() is a
  no-op at the platform root, but the value differs by platform
  (win32 'D:\' is length 3, posix '/' is length 1), so a POSIX-shaped
  length/equality bound never fires on Windows. Registered on BOTH
  tests/**/*.cjs and scripts/**/*.cjs — the real #4020 bug lived in
  scripts/run-tests.cjs, not tests/.

Both rules join the zero-escape-hatch discipline already established for
this catalog (no bespoke comment marker; PROTECTED_RULES in
tests/portability-rule-disable-ban.test.cjs independently bans
eslint-disable of either). ADR-1703 and its two companion contributing
docs get an amendment documenting the mechanism, code examples, and the
repo-wide sweep (three live instances found and fixed in the prior
commit; no others found). CI test-scope selection updated so an edit to
either rule or to scripts/run-tests.cjs re-runs the right suites.

* fix(#4244): no-unbounded-dirname-walk must analyze a single-condition loop test too

checkWhile bailed out early unless node.test was a LogicalExpression,
so a single-condition loop -- while (cur !== root) { cur = dirname(cur); } --
was silently skipped and never reported. That is the EXACT minimal
shape of the original #4020/#4220 bug, and it is literally the shape
used by this rule's own shipped RuleTester fixtures (the "equality-only
bound" invalid cases), which were failing (0 errors reported, 1
expected) until this fix -- confirmed by running RuleTester directly
against both fixtures, not just via a passing test-runner exit code.

The conjunct-collection helper already handled a non-LogicalExpression
test correctly (it pushes a single node as the sole conjunct); only the
early-return gate needed to stop requiring a compound && / || test.

Verified: RuleTester run directly against both previously-broken
fixtures plus two new sanity cases (a guarded single-condition loop
stays valid; an unrelated single-condition loop stays silent), and a
fresh `npx eslint .` across the whole repo remains clean (no other
single-condition dirname-walk shape exists in the tree).

* fix(#4244): require-full-tmpdir-triad must recognize a destructured child_process call

isSpawnLikeCallee only recognized a MemberExpression callee
(child_process.spawnSync(...)) or a bare identifier in
ENV_LOCAL_HELPER_NAMES (runNode). A destructured import called bare --
const { spawnSync } = require('child_process'); spawnSync(...) -- has an
Identifier callee named "spawnSync", which matched neither branch, so
the whole env-literal check was skipped. gsd-test caught this: both
"invalid: child_process.spawnSync with TMPDIR-only env" cases in
tests/require-full-tmpdir-triad.rule.test.cjs were failing (0 errors
reported, 1 expected).

Widened the bare-identifier branch to also match any of the known
ENV_CHILD_PROCESS_METHODS names, matched by name only -- the same
lightweight convention this repo's other eslint-rules/*.cjs use (e.g.
no-hardcoded-tmp.cjs's isFsMethodCall), not full import data-flow
tracing.

Verified: RuleTester run directly against all 11 cases in
tests/require-full-tmpdir-triad.rule.test.cjs (not just the two that
were failing), all pass; a fresh npx eslint . and npm run lint:ci
across the whole repo remain clean.

* fix(#4244): correct a stale escape-hatch reference in a test comment

The comment on the "length comparison against another expression's
length" case referenced a "// allow-dirname-walk marker" that doesn't
exist -- the rule has zero comment-based escape hatches by design
(ADR-1703), and an earlier draft's marker mechanism was removed before
this branch's first commit. Spec-axis review caught the stale
reference. No behavior change; comment-only.

* chore(#4244): backfill changeset PR number (pr:0 -> pr:4246)

456136659d fix(#4220): terminate the Windows temp-sweep ancestor walk (and two bugs it unmasked) (#4245)
* fix(#4220): terminate the temp-sweep ancestor walk with a fixed-point check

scripts/run-tests.cjs's sweepProtectSet block walked each selected test
file's ancestor directories, stopping on `cur !== runTempRoot &&
cur.length > 1` — a POSIX-only sentinel. path.posix.dirname('/') === '/'
(length 1) correctly stops, but path.win32.dirname('C:\\') === 'C:\\'
(length 3) never satisfies the length check, so the walk spun forever on
Windows whenever a selected file lived outside runTempRoot (the common
case). This has hung every Windows CI shard since #4207.

Extract the walk into a pure, exported computeSweepProtectSet(selected,
runTempRoot, dirnameImpl) helper and replace the length sentinel with a
fixed-point check (stop when dirnameImpl(cur) === cur), which terminates
correctly on POSIX, Windows drive roots, and UNC roots alike with no
platform branch.

* fix(#4220): repoint TEMP/TMP alongside TMPDIR in run-tests-temp-root test child env

Node's os.tmpdir() on Windows never reads TMPDIR, only TEMP/TMP. The
test's runNode child-process env override only set TMPDIR, so on a
real Windows runner nested inside a run-tests invocation the child
inherited the outer process's already-repointed TEMP/TMP and its
mkdtempSync(os.tmpdir()) landed under the outer run's temp root
instead of the test's intended `outer` directory. This was masked on
gsd-test's benches and locally because Windows CI always died in the
#4220 infinite loop before reaching this test.

* fix(#4220): stop the ancestor walk from protecting the filesystem root itself

computeSweepProtectSet added `cur` to the protect set before checking
whether dirname(cur) === cur, so on the terminating iteration it
protected the filesystem root (posix `/`, and analogously a win32
drive root) instead of stopping before adding it. Caught by the
existing posix-parity regression assertion
(`!protectSet.has('/')`) on the linux-node24 gsd-test bench. Reorder
to compute the parent and check the fixed point before adding.

* fix(#4220): backfill changeset pr number to 4245

515191f07d feat(#3677): quick-batch hardening and acceptance (#4240)
* chore(#3677): checkpoint design artifacts (gitignored, dev-only)

* test(#3677): add failing regression test for the crash-window duplicate-dispatch gap (RED)

Independently re-traces resume-mode.md/planner-wave.md/worktree-dispatch.md/
merge-wave.md and src/quick-batch.cts's resumeBatch (lines 894-899) and
confirms the prior research pass's Open Question 1: a coordinator crash
between Step 6 (executor commits, SUMMARY.md written) and Step 7 (merge)
leaves BATCH.json at "pending" with no STATE.md row yet (only written in
Step 9), so --resume's eligibility re-derivation would dispatch a second
executor into a new worktree for the same item, orphaning the first.

This test asserts worktree-dispatch.md's Step 6 excludes an item whose
SUMMARY.md already exists from the spawn set, mirroring planner-wave.md's
existing PLAN.md-existence check one layer earlier. Fails against the
current worktree-dispatch.md, which has no such guard.

See .gsd/phase/feat-3677-quick-batch-hardening-acceptance/40-design.md §1
for the full trace and fix-location rationale.

* fix(#3677): guard worktree-dispatch.md against re-dispatching an already-executed item (GREEN)

worktree-dispatch.md's Step 6 re-derives eligibility every dispatch round
via the same quick-batch resume call resume-mode.md uses, but had no check
for "did this item already finish executing" the way planner-wave.md
already checks "did this item already get planned" (PLAN.md existence)
before re-planning. A coordinator crash between Step 6 (executor commits,
SUMMARY.md written) and Step 7 (merge) left the item eligible for a second
dispatch on --resume, orphaning the first worktree's real, already-
committed work and silently losing it once the second executor's SUMMARY.md
write clobbered the first at the same item_dir path.

Adds a SUMMARY.md-existence exclusion before spawn-plan is computed,
symmetric to planner-wave.md's PLAN.md check. The excluded item is not
lost: merge-wave.md's own mergeable-wave criterion (status=pending,
SUMMARY.md on disk, not yet merged) already picks it up independently of
this eligible/spawn list.

Workflow-prose-only fix — touches no already-merged/reviewed .cts module.
See .gsd/phase/feat-3677-quick-batch-hardening-acceptance/40-design.md §1
for the fix-location rationale (why not resumeBatch itself).

* test(#3677): add real-git coverage for worktree-ownership tampering, scope drift, and submodules

Closes the three coverage gaps identified in 40-design.md §2/§3 (#3677,
epic #3344 Phase 5's own AC bullets: "arbitrary-worktree ownership
attempts", "scope drift", "submodules"):

- Arbitrary-worktree ownership tampering: a manifest entry naming a
  non-agent branch is silently dropped at normalization before any git
  subprocess runs; a manifest entry naming a plausible agent-branch that
  was never actually created by this repo's own worktree.create (a
  genuinely foreign repo/branch) is blocked via base_mismatch. Both leave
  the foreign location and repoRoot's HEAD provably untouched.

- Advisory scope drift: a committed path outside declared files_modified
  still merges successfully (advisory, never blocking) while surfacing a
  scope_out_of_declared warning naming the drifted path; an exact
  declared-scope match produces zero warnings (boundary case).

- Real .gitmodules submodule integration: a repo containing a real local
  git submodule merges cleanly through executeWorktreeWaveCleanupPlan for
  an unrelated plan; a real gitlink pointer bump (declared) merges cleanly
  with the superproject tree reflecting the new pinned commit; an
  undeclared bump is advisory-only and surfaces a scope warning naming
  vendor/sub, same as any other undeclared modification.

No src/*.cts changes — all three gaps were coverage-only; the underlying
primitives already behaved correctly (independently verified against real
git subprocess output before writing each assertion).

* docs(#3677): document how to diagnose a preserved quick-batch worktree

Extends the one-sentence "worktree is preserved (never deleted)" mention
into a concrete diagnosis procedure: where the preserved directory is, how
to read the executor's real commits/diff against the plan's declared
files_modified, how to read the item's own SUMMARY.md independent of merge
outcome, how to manually merge-and-clean-up or discard, and how to re-run
--resume afterward. Also documents that a SUMMARY.md-written-but-still-
pending item (the crash-window case fixed in this same PR) needs no manual
intervention — --resume routes it straight to the merge step.

* chore(#3677): checkpoint final acceptance-evidence mapping (gitignored, dev-only)

* fix(#3677): make crash-window duplicate-dispatch guard behaviorally provable and durably recoverable

Orthogonal review (Spec finding): the crash-window regression test added
earlier this phase only asserted readStep('worktree-dispatch.md') + regex
matches against the markdown prose — proving the DOCUMENTATION says the
right thing, never that the runtime condition (pending status + on-disk
SUMMARY.md + absent STATE row) is actually handled correctly. #3677's own
"Alternatives considered" explicitly rejects "document recovery without
fault injection" for exactly this reason.

Extracts the filtering decision into a pure, independently testable
function, filterAlreadyExecuted(eligibleIds, executedIds) in
src/quick-batch-dispatch.cts, wired to a new `quick-batch filter-executed`
CLI verb (src/quick-batch-command-router.cts) — the same pure-decision-
then-CLI-wired pattern computeSpawnPlan/computeMergeOrder already
establish. worktree-dispatch.md now calls this verb explicitly instead of
only describing the decision in prose. A genuine fixture-based test in
tests/quick-batch.test.cjs constructs a REAL BATCH.json (createBatch),
writes a REAL SUMMARY.md on disk at the item's real item_dir, calls the
REAL resumeBatch, and proves both that resumeBatch alone still reports the
item eligible AND that filterAlreadyExecuted (fed a real filesystem check)
correctly excludes it. The prior prose-assertion tests are kept — they now
prove the workflow markdown is correctly WIRED to the verb — but are no
longer the only proof.

Self-discovered defect while building that fixture (fixed inline, not
deferred): tracing merge-wave.md against /gsd:quick's own prior art
(QUICK_WORKTREE_MANIFEST=$(mktemp ...), quick.md:415) showed
$QUICK_BATCH_WORKTREE_MANIFEST is a fresh PER-PROCESS temp file. A resumed
coordinator correctly does not re-dispatch an already-executed item (this
fix), but nothing durably recorded that item's worktree_path/branch/base
either — Step 7 in the resumed process would have had no data to build its
cleanup-wave entry from. Adds dispatched_worktree/dispatched_branch/
dispatched_base to QuickBatchItem (src/quick-batch.cts) — deliberately NOT
a reuse of the pre-existing `worktree` field, whose loadBatch validation
requires the path to exist on disk (verified empirically: reusing it made
the batch permanently unloadable the moment a legitimately-merged worktree
was removed). worktree-dispatch.md persists the triple once a worktree is
created; merge-wave.md falls back to it when the ephemeral manifest lacks
an entry, clears it after a successful merge, and fails closed rather than
guessing if no record exists anywhere.

See .gsd/phase/feat-3677-quick-batch-hardening-acceptance/40-design.md §9.1
and §9.3 for the full trace, empirical verification notes, and rejected
alternatives (reusing `worktree` directly).

* test(#3677): prove the arbitrary-worktree-ownership boundary against two real sibling worktrees

Orthogonal review (Security finding): the two existing ownership-tampering
tests didn't test ownership — one was trivially rejected by
WORKTREE_AGENT_BRANCH_RE's shape check before any git call (proves branch-
NAME filtering, not ownership), the other pointed at a wholly separate,
never-linked foreign repo, so merge-base failed immediately because the
branch didn't exist as a ref at all. Neither exercised the real scenario:
a manifest entry whose worktree_path/branch are swapped to point at a
DIFFERENT, GENUINELY-REGISTERED sibling worktree of the SAME repoRoot,
with a branch name passing the shape check and a base in allowed_bases.

Investigated executeWorktreeWaveCleanupPlan (src/worktree-safety.cts)
directly: this is NOT a reachable gap. Git enforces branch-per-worktree
uniqueness, so a swapped-in entry.branch can only match worktree_path's
ACTUAL checked-out branch if it names that sibling's own real, uniquely-
generated branch name — which manifest tampering confined to one batch's
own record has no way to know (branch names are
agent-<quick_id>[-<timestamp>]-shaped, and quick_id allocation is
collision-checked GLOBALLY across every existing quick task and batch, not
merely within one batch).

Adds a stronger test that empirically proves this: two REAL, concurrently-
alive sibling worktrees of the same repo (both via real `git worktree add`,
both WORKTREE_AGENT_BRANCH_RE-passing, both sharing one merge-base), with
worktree_path/branch swapped between them in both directions. Both attempts
are blocked via branch_mismatch; both real worktrees, their branches, and
one sibling's real uncommitted-to-main commit survive completely untouched.
Supplements (does not replace) the original two tests, which still prove
distinct, real boundaries.

See .gsd/phase/feat-3677-quick-batch-hardening-acceptance/40-design.md §9.2
for the full trace, including the one explicitly-documented (not fixed)
trust boundary this investigation surfaced: the primitive defends against
fabricated data, not a caller bug that misattributes a real-but-wrong
item's own triple to a different item.

114dfcb739 fix(#4196): npm-audit gate blocks only NEW advisories, not pre-existing ones (#4214)
* fix(#4196): npm-audit gate blocks only NEW advisories, not pre-existing ones

The #3588 gate failed on ANY advisory in the production tree, regardless
of whether the PR/push actually introduced it. Because npm's advisory
database updates continuously and independently of repo state, a commit
could pass this gate at merge time and fail it minutes later on the
identical tree -- proven on PR #4188/dce40eeb6, which passed on all 3
OSes at 15:57-16:27 and failed the same assertion at 16:19-16:30 on the
unchanged commit, purely because GHSA-jqff-g426-hqxp was disclosed for
fast-uri in the interim.

scripts/npm-audit-baseline.cjs diffs the head tree's vulnerable-package
set against a resolved baseline (the PR's target branch, or the prior
commit on a direct push) and blocks only newly-introduced advisories.
When no baseline can be resolved, falls back to the original
zero-tolerance behavior -- fail-closed, never silently weaker.

* fix(#4196): pin the npm-audit baseline instead of using a drift-prone ref

Two orthogonal reviews found the same class of bug this repo already
fixed once for a different gate (see GSD_EMITTED_BASE's own incident
comment in test.yml): origin/<branch> is live under fetch-depth: 0 and
can advance mid-run, so resolveBaselineRef()'s fallback to
origin/${GITHUB_BASE_REF} could silently disagree with the tree
ci-rebase-check.cjs actually merged. Wire AUDIT_BASELINE_REF from the
workflow to github.event.pull_request.base.sha / github.event.before,
the same pinned values GSD_EMITTED_BASE already relies on.

Also: HEAD~1 assumed exactly one commit per push, which this repo's
allow_rebase_merge:true setting can violate (a rebase-merged PR lands
as several discrete commits in one push) -- github.event.before is
git's own record of the correct pre-push state, not an assumed offset.
HEAD~1 remains as a documented last-resort fallback for out-of-band
invocations (e.g. gsd-test) that don't set any of the above, alongside
a new local-branch fallback for gsd-test's local `next` (not
origin/next) sandbox shape.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Security review pass findings, both confirmed real:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Standards review pass findings — both HARD:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

858bb89769 ci(#4196): exempt dependabot[bot] from issue-link, title, and unsolicited-PR gates (#4203)
Dependabot has no mechanism to link a PR it opens to a repo issue -- its
alerts live in the Security tab, not as issues -- so require-issue-link,
pr-title-validator, and auto-close-unsolicited-prs all rejected its PRs
by design (confirmed live on #4193: auto-closed for "no pre-approved
issue", then flagged again by the title gate on reopen). Exempt by
authenticated author login (github.event.pull_request.user.login /
context.payload.pull_request.user.login), which GitHub attributes and a
crafted title or branch name cannot forge -- scoped narrowly to
dependabot[bot] only, no other author gets this treatment.

91ed46882a feat(#3675): quick-batch core primitives and resumable manifest (#4190)
* test(#3675): add failing tests for quick-batch core primitives

Adds the full behavioral (tests/quick-batch.test.cjs) and property-based
(tests/quick-batch.property.test.cjs) coverage for #3675's quick-batch core
primitives per the phase's 35-row test matrix — task-list parsing (inline +
--file, with path-confinement/symlink-escape/non-regular-file rejection),
collision-safe quick-id preallocation under withPlanningLock, BATCH.json
schema/validation/resume, dependency-DAG + partitionByFileOverlap wave
construction, and exactly-once STATE.md completion (including the
STATE-row-written-but-manifest-not-yet-updated crash window).

The import target (gsd-core/bin/lib/quick-batch.cjs, compiled from a
not-yet-written src/quick-batch.cts) does not exist yet — every test in both
files fails at the top-level require() before any assertion runs. Five
fast-check properties cover collision-freedom under lock contention, resume
idempotency, exactly-once STATE completion, wave totality, and DAG-respecting
wave order, per the design doc's property-based-coverage requirement.

* feat(#3675): implement quick-batch core primitives

Adds src/quick-batch.cts (ADR-457 build-at-publish, compiled to
gsd-core/bin/lib/quick-batch.cjs) implementing #3675's quick-batch core
primitives per the phase design lock — pure/state primitives and
CLI-testable core operations only, no agent dispatch, no worktree creation,
no user-facing command (Phase 4/#3676's job):

- parseTaskList / parseTaskListFromFile: inline bulleted/numbered task-list
  parsing (>=2 items required) and a --file variant strictly confined to the
  planning workspace root via requireSafePath, rejecting non-regular-file
  targets.
- allocateQuickIds / createBatch: collision-safe YYMMDD-xxx quick-id
  preallocation under withPlanningLock, checked against both on-disk
  .planning/quick/ entries and sibling .planning/quick-batches/*/BATCH.json
  manifests (never on-disk-only, which would miss another in-flight batch
  that hasn't dispatched any real quick directory yet) — replicates
  cmdInitQuick's own grammar rather than delegating to it (that function's
  2-second granularity is not batch-safe).
- computeWaves: deterministic wave construction combining dependency-DAG
  layering with partitionByFileOverlap (#3674), called per DAG layer over
  path-separator-normalized planned_files — normalization happens at this
  module's boundary, never inside the Phase 2 helper.
- loadBatch: fail-closed BATCH.json schema validation (corrupt/truncated
  JSON, wrong types, missing fields, out-of-batch dependency references,
  dependency cycles, a worktree path absent from disk).
- resumeBatch: skips complete items, never auto-retries failed items,
  propagates/reverses blocked status along the DAG to a fixed point, and
  detects a STATE.md row that already exists for a non-complete item (the
  "STATE written, BATCH.json not yet updated" crash window) — completing it
  without re-appending. Idempotent across repeated calls.
- completeQuickItem / hasQuickTaskRow: exactly-once STATE.md completion —
  appendQuickTaskRow (unmodified) is called at most once per quick id, gated
  by hasQuickTaskRow's own idempotency check re-parsing the real "Quick Tasks
  Completed" table, since appendQuickTaskRow itself carries no idempotency.

BATCH.json lives at .planning/quick-batches/<batch-id>/BATCH.json, a sibling
of .planning/quick/ — never inside it, so scanQuickTasks never misreads a
batch manifest as a broken quick task.

* docs(#3675): register the new quick-batch module

New src/*.cts -> bin/lib/*.cjs modules need four hand-maintained
registrations beyond the code itself: .gitignore (compiled artifact),
eslint.config.mjs (ADR-457: lint the .cts, not the emitted .cjs),
docs/INVENTORY.md's CLI Modules roster row plus the regenerated
docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json cli_modules entry, and a CONTEXT.md glossary
entry matching the convention set by the sibling File Overlap Partitioner
Module (#3674) entry it sits beside.

NOTE: docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json was updated BY HAND (alphabetically
sorted single-entry insertion into families.cli_modules, matching the
existing file's structure) rather than via
`node scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write` — this session's
MEMTRACE-FIRST guard hard-blocks direct execution of that indexed script
path from Bash, with no available Memtrace tool to route through instead.
The orchestrator should re-run `node scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs
--check` to confirm this hand-edit is byte-identical to the generator's own
output before merging.

* fix(#3675): resolve lint findings in quick-batch primitives and tests

Unsafe `any[]` assignment from `new Array(n)` in the DAG cycle-check color
array, two unnecessary `as string[]` casts TS 5.5's inferred type
predicates already narrowed, raw `fs.rmSync` in test cleanup (needs the
Windows-EBUSY retry budget `helpers.cleanup` carries), an unused `loadBatch`
import, an unbounded `mkfifo` subprocess spawn missing a timeout, and a
CONTEXT.md glossary illustration that looked like a real file reference.

* feat(#3675): close acceptance-criteria gaps found in review

Standards- and spec-axis review (plus a self-caught race) surfaced real
gaps against issue #3675's own acceptance criteria and this repo's test
conventions:

- BATCH.json was missing options, base_revision, per-item wave, and
  per-item commit — the issue's AC explicitly lists all four as things
  the manifest must track. Added them: createBatch persists caller-supplied
  batchOptions/baseRevision verbatim and assigns each item its computed
  wave index; completeQuickItem now persists the commit onto the item,
  not just the STATE.md row. All four are backward-tolerant on load (an
  older/hand-built manifest without them still validates).
- resumeBatch had no "incompatible base divergence" check at all, despite
  the AC and the ADR's own "Base divergence" section requiring one. Added
  an opt-in currentBaseRevision comparison that fails closed with a
  recoverable diagnostic on mismatch, and touches nothing on refusal.
- resumeBatch read-modify-wrote BATCH.json OUTSIDE withPlanningLock — the
  only durable write path in this module that wasn't lock-protected,
  a real lost-update race against a concurrent completeQuickItem or
  another resume. Now runs inside the same lock createBatch/
  completeQuickItem use.
- loadBatch and collectExistingBatchQuickIds used raw JSON.parse with no
  size cap (security review, Low/informational); switched to the
  existing safeJsonParse (1MB cap) for defense-in-depth.
- Parser (parseTaskList) had only example-based tests; CLAUDE.md requires
  a fast-check property test for parsers. Added one plus a companion
  reject-property for <2 items.
- The id-exhaustion fail-closed ceiling (MAX_TIME_BLOCK) was untested at
  any boundary. Exported the pure allocateIdsGivenUsed/MAX_TIME_BLOCK for
  direct limit-1/limit/limit+1 testing without needing 46k fixture dirs.
- Issue AC explicitly asks for prompt-injection-payload test coverage,
  distinct from the existing shell-metacharacter test; added one.
- Test row 9 (FIFO skip) silently returned instead of calling t.skip(),
  so an unsupported platform would report a pass rather than a documented
  skip; fixed to bind the test-context param and skip properly.
- Extracted toWaveInput to remove a 2-site production duplication of the
  QuickBatchItem -> computeWaves reshape (Standards-axis smell).
- Added the required .changeset/ fragment (CONTRIBUTING.md: editing src/
  is user-facing even though the compiled .cjs is gitignored).

* fix(#3675): restore "not valid JSON" wording in loadBatch's parse-failure reason

gsd-test caught this: switching loadBatch to safeJsonParse changed the parse-
failure message shape ("... parse error — ...") without preserving the
"not valid JSON" substring row 27's own test asserts on. Re-wrap
safeJsonParse's error into the original diagnostic phrasing regardless of
which of its three failure modes fired.

* docs(#3675): backfill changeset pr number to 4190

* fix(#3675): detect a silently-no-op mkfifo on Windows, not just a throwing one

CI caught this on windows-latest: row 9's platform-skip only caught mkfifo
throwing (command not found). On this runner mkfifo resolves to something
that exits 0 without creating a file (NTFS has no FIFO concept), so
execution fell through to parseTaskListFromFile against a path that
doesn't exist, producing an ENOENT stat error instead of the expected
"not a regular file" rejection. Check the artifact actually exists before
trusting a zero exit code, and skip with a documented reason either way.

Dependabot already opens a correct fix PR within minutes of a new

it sat until a human noticed `next` had gone red and an unrelated PR

that gap for patch/minor bumps; major bumps still need a human.

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

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

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

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

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

Closes #3661

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

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

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

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

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

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

2131fe13f3 enhance(#3464): exec() detection widening, citation-debt cleanup — Phase 8 (#4171)
* feat(#3464): widen no-source-grep to detect regex.exec() on tracked text

Adds an execCall kind alongside the existing regexTest detection --
regex.exec(tracked) was invisible to the rule while regex.test(tracked)
was already caught, despite both reading a source-derived string through
a regex. Measured: 4 previously-invisible sites across 2 files.

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

* test(#3464): migrate 4 sites newly flagged by the exec() widening

docs-hooks-table-parity.test.cjs's three regex-extraction loops are
site-scoped marked (source-text-is-the-product) -- the dynamic
preToolEvent/postToolEvent dialect branching they mirror is explicitly
documented as not statically parseable, so a literal-pattern mirror is
the practical minimum-cost check.

no-bare-gsd-tools-command-position.test.cjs's readRouterVerbs() now
requires HOST_COMMAND_ROUTERS directly instead of regex-walking
gsd-tools.cjs's source text -- the same accessor three other suites
already use.

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

* fix(#3464): pay down 6 grandfathered uncited allow-test-rule markers

Two were genuinely load-bearing (suppressing a real detected violation)
and just needed a citation added -- phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs,
runtime-name-policy.test.cjs, both now (#3464).

Four were dead-weight file-header markers suppressing nothing -- each
file's real effective sites are covered by separate, already-cited
markers elsewhere in the same file. Deleted outright rather than cited,
per Phase 1's own precedent (remove non-load-bearing markers instead of
grandfathering them forever) -- codex-config.test.cjs (two copies),
gsd-check-update-worker-platform-gate.test.cjs, orphaned-hooks.test.cjs,
settings-jsonc.test.cjs.

allowlist.json: 134 -> 128 entries.

* chore(#3464): re-baseline effective-exemption ceiling to 84

The exec() widening's 3 newly-marked sites are now suppressed and
counted; ceiling rises 81 -> 84, the exact measured high-water mark.

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

* fix(#3464): correct citation and restore a wrongly-deleted marker

Two review corrections, both found by the orthogonal review pass:

- docs-hooks-table-parity.test.cjs's 3 new exec() markers cited #3464
  (mechanically "the phase that widened the rule") when the file's own
  established, correct reference is #3839 (the issue this whole test
  exists to enforce, already cited in its file header) -- fixed to match.

- gsd-check-update-worker-platform-gate.test.cjs's deleted file-header
  marker was NOT dead weight: its codeOnly() helper wraps readFileSync
  and is called inline as an assert argument, a genuine source-grep
  pattern on real .cjs/.js source that the rule cannot currently see
  (helper-function indirection is a distinct blind spot from anything
  Phase 7/8 measured) -- CONTRIBUTING.md is explicit that "unverified"
  is not the same as "vestigial." Restored, site-scoped this time
  (directly above codeOnly(), not as an inert file-header comment) and
  cited (#3103, the issue the file's own docstring already references).

codex-config.test.cjs's two deletions and orphaned-hooks.test.cjs's /
settings-jsonc.test.cjs's deletions were independently re-verified and
stand: their flagged lines read generated .toml/.json OUTPUT, not
source, or have no residual pattern at all.

9b77320580 fix(#4076): add missing gsd-hook-version header to gsd-node-runner.sh (#4092)
* fix(#4076): add missing gsd-hook-version header to gsd-node-runner.sh

gsd-node-runner.sh was registered in MANAGED_HOOKS but shipped without a
gsd-hook-version header, so gsd-check-update-worker.js always classified it
as 'definitely stale' (a missing header is indistinguishable from a
pre-version-tracking file). Every install on an otherwise up-to-date
version showed a permanent, unclearable '⚠ stale hooks — run /gsd-update'
warning naming this one file.

Root cause: the build-hooks.js comment claimed the file is 'not a
registered hook' and 'staged verbatim — no templating', but it IS in
MANAGED_HOOKS (managed-hooks-registry.cjs:34) and install.js already
stamps {{GSD_VERSION}} into every .sh hook unconditionally, gsd-node-runner.sh
included. The comment contradicted both the registry and the installer's
actual behavior, and the header line itself was simply never added.

Fix: add the header (matching every other managed .sh hook's format) and
correct the comment so it no longer asserts the opposite of what the
registry and installer actually do.

Adds a regression test that iterates every MANAGED_HOOKS entry and asserts
it carries a header matching the worker's own detection regex, so a future
hook added to the registry without one fails CI instead of shipping
silently.

Fixes #4076

* chore(#4076): add changeset fragment for PR #4092

* fix(#4076): address review nits — drop unneeded exemption, fix blank line

Per @trek-e's review on #4092:
- tests/managed-hooks.test.cjs:96: the readFileSync call uses a loop
  variable (entry-derived hookPath), not a literal path, so
  local/no-source-grep's static literal-path detector never flags it —
  the allow-test-rule exemption comment was unnecessary. Replaced with a
  plain note explaining the source-read rationale.
- tests/managed-hooks.test.cjs:121-122: dropped a stray extra blank line
  before the bug #2136 section divider.

b0572c0108 feat(#3674): extract shared file-overlap wave partitioner (#4166)
* test(#3674): characterize existing wave-dispatch output and add tests for the extracted partitioner

Pins resolveWaveDispatch's and emitWorkflowScript's current, unextracted
output (chain-overlap, disjoint-empty-set, and a multi-wave/multi-stage
golden script) as a regression safety net ahead of extracting
partitionStages into a standalone module. Also adds the new module's
unit and property tests (test matrix rows 1-11) against its expected
public API, which does not exist yet and is added in the next commit.

* feat(#3674): extract file-overlap partitioner into a shared, generic module

Moves partitionStages' greedy first-fit file-overlap algorithm into a new,
dependency-free src/file-overlap-partitioner.cts module (partitionByFileOverlap),
generalized over a plain {id, files}[] shape rather than claude-orchestration.cts's
Plan/Wave interfaces. partitionStages becomes a thin adapter mapping its own
Plan[] shape onto the generic input and back — behavior-preserving, no dependency
ordering, no path normalization, no filesystem access moved or added. Enables a
future consumer (quick-batch, #3675 / ADR-1239) to reuse the same primitive
without pulling in orchestration internals.

* docs(#3674): register the file-overlap-partitioner module bookkeeping

New src/*.cts -> bin/lib/*.cjs modules need four hand-maintained
registrations beyond the code itself: .gitignore (compiled artifact),
eslint.config.mjs (ADR-457: lint the .cts, not the emitted .cjs),
docs/INVENTORY.md's CLI Modules roster row (regenerated via
gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write), and a CONTEXT.md glossary entry
matching the convention set by similarly-scoped leaf modules
(text-lines.cts, plan-dependency-graph.cts, spec-section.cts).

* fix(#3674): alphabetize INVENTORY.md row, manifest regen no-op, fast-check import already correct

- docs/INVENTORY.md: move file-overlap-partitioner.cjs row to alphabetical position
- docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json: regenerated via gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write,
  produced no diff (manifest is keyed by content, not row order)
- tests/claude-orchestration.test.cjs's direct require('fast-check') is correct as-is:
  tests/helpers/fast-check-setup.cjs's own docstring scopes the shared-seed wrapper to
  "every *.property.test.cjs file"; claude-orchestration.test.cjs is not a .property.test.cjs
  file, and every .property.test.cjs file sampled uses the wrapper consistently. No outlier.

* fix(#3674): constrain the no-overlap property test to unique ids, fixing an ambiguous duplicate-id reconstruction

The `no two plans in the same stage share a modified file` property
reconstructs which physical item produced each output id via
`remaining.findIndex(r => r.id === id)`. Under duplicate ids (an
explicitly-supported input shape for `partitionByFileOverlap`) that
reconstruction can pick the wrong physical occurrence, producing a
false-positive overlap failure (observed counterexample: p0(f1),
p208(f1), p208([]) — correctly staged as [[p0,p208#2],[p208#1]], but
misread by id-order as [[p0,p208#1],...], which do overlap).
Properties (a) determinism and (b) totality already exercise
duplicate ids correctly and are left unchanged; only this property's
generated items are now constrained to unique ids via
`fc.uniqueArray`, where the reconstruction is unambiguous.

fa107c0461 fix(#4172): add --merge-async to test:coverage:scripts-floor (#4173)
* fix(#4172): add --merge-async to test:coverage:scripts-floor

The "Coverage gate (merged shards)" test.yml job has OOM-crashed (exit
134, SIGABRT) on every push to next since 4dfc46b. test:coverage:scripts-floor
was the only c8 coverage-merge invocation in package.json still missing
--merge-async: c8's default sync merge path (Report._getMergedProcessCov)
loads every raw V8 coverage file from the merged 3-shard coverage/tmp
directory into memory as one array before merging, instead of folding
them in one at a time, and now blows through the job's 8192 MB heap
ceiling.

This is the same bug class as #4068 (fixed in 4d70b4dc4), which added
--merge-async to test:coverage:unit and test:coverage:report -- the two
other scripts sharing this merge/report code path -- but missed this
third sibling, which reads the exact same merged coverage/tmp data in
the same job. check-coverage and report both dispatch through c8's
shared getCoverageMapFromAllCoverageFiles()/mergeAsync branch, so the
fix is identical in shape to #4068's.

Extends the existing #4068 regression guard (tests/c8-merge-async-flag.test.cjs)
to also assert test:coverage:scripts-floor carries --merge-async, closing
the coverage gap #4068 left on this sibling script.

Fixes #4172

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

* docs(#4172): backfill changeset PR number (pr:0 -> 4173)

* fix(#4172): route scripts-floor through `c8 report`, not `check-coverage`

The prior commit (1a3d6b75e) added --merge-async to
test:coverage:scripts-floor, but the Coverage gate job still OOM-crashed
identically on PR #4173's CI run
(https://github.com/open-gsd/gsd-core/actions/runs/33587951779/job/100118358975).

Root cause of that miss: c8@11.0.0's `check-coverage` CLI subcommand
handler (node_modules/c8/lib/commands/check-coverage.js) never forwards
argv.mergeAsync into the Report constructor -- only the `report`
subcommand's handler (node_modules/c8/lib/commands/report.js) and the
default command (which also calls into report.js) do. Verified directly
by constructing Report the same way each handler does: the check-coverage
path yields report.mergeAsync === undefined even with --merge-async on
the command line, while the report path yields true.

Fix: route test:coverage:scripts-floor through `c8 report --check-coverage`
instead of `c8 check-coverage`. report.js's outputReport() calls the same
checkCoverages() threshold-checking helper when --check-coverage is
truthy, so behavior (and exit code on threshold failure) is unchanged --
only the code path taken to get there now actually honors --merge-async.

Extends the tests/c8-merge-async-flag.test.cjs regression guard with an
explicit assertion that scripts-floor invokes `c8 report`, not
`check-coverage`, so this can't silently regress back to the broken form.

Fixes #4172

* test(#3995): diff base keys on the phase directory, not commit subjects

All three derivation sites (Tier 3, spawn_reviewer, fallow pre-pass)
must anchor on the phase directory's first commit; the milestone-blind
repro (an archived milestone's same-numbered phase commit capturing
the base) is the failing-first row. #3191/#3503 rows reworked to the
directory-anchor contract; T6 docs-parity forbids any remaining
phase-scope message-grep site.

* fix(#3995): derive the review diff base from the phase directory

A phase number is unique within a milestone, not a repository; the
message grep had no milestone bound and tail -1 deliberately selected
the oldest same-numbered subject, dragging archived milestones phases
into the scope (7 files to 3388 plus the >50 depth downgrade). All
three lockstep sites now anchor on the first commit that added anything
under the phase own directory — the same anchor class
git-base-branch phaseStartCommit uses. ShellCheck baseline gains the
escaped fragment shifted parse signature.

647365faf1 fix(#4011): key the TDD runtime gate on TDD_MODE alone (#4180)
* test(#4011): TDD gate keys on TDD_MODE alone, not the MVP intersection

Contract updates: no shipped line may conjoin MVP_MODE with TDD_MODE as
a gate condition, the end-of-phase escalation must not require MVP, the
executor agent's gate section triggers on TDD_MODE alone, and the gate
semantics reference loads without MVP_MODE.

* fix(#4011): key the TDD runtime gate on TDD_MODE alone

The RED-commit gate shipped as #76's MVP slice kept the paired
invocation's conjunct, so workflow.tdd_mode=true was silently inert on
every non-MVP phase, contradicting references/tdd.md's own contract.
Drops the MVP conjunct from the per-task gate and the end-of-phase
review escalation; rescopes execute-mvp-tdd.md's load condition,
gsd-executor's gate section, and mvp-concepts' intersection claim.
MVP remains free to imply TDD; the file is not renamed (stated
assumption in the PR body).

* test(#4011): scope no-conjunct detector to shell conditions; clean stale MVP+TDD phrasing

Review follow-ups: the detector now only inspects if/[ condition lines
so explanatory prose mentioning both flags cannot trip it; remaining
'under/outside MVP+TDD' phrases in execute-phase.md, the gate
reference, and docs/INVENTORY.md now describe TDD-mode semantics.

383c2f6b34 fix(#3982): strip closed-milestone details from the current window (#4177)
* test(#3982): archived details must not leak into the current-milestone window

Parser-level regression (newest-first layout, two archived details
blocks) plus the issue's end-to-end phase.complete fixture: completing
phase 20 must advance to 21, never backwards into the archived range.

* fix(#3982): strip closed-milestone details from the current window

The heading-located window stripped <details> archives from the
preamble but not from currentSection; on newest-first roadmaps the
archived titles sit in summary tags rather than headings, so the
section walk reached end-of-document and the window swallowed every
collapsed archive below the active milestone. The strip is gated on
isClosedMilestoneHeading over each block's summary — the issue's
prescribed narrow form — so the active milestone's own collapsed
blocks (#1341) survive instead of trading this bug for the
phase_count: 0 class (#557/#2947).

9eef1b791b fix(#3981): give blocking guards a host-stall-proof timeout budget (#4175)
* test(#3981): blocking-guard timeout budget and 5→120 migration

Fresh registration must carry a host-stall-proof 120 s budget on the
six blocking PreToolUse guards; existing managed timeout:5 entries
are migrated; non-managed entries and advisory budgets are untouched.

* fix(#3981): give blocking guards a host-stall-proof timeout budget

Claude Code treats a timed-out hook as non-blocking, so the 5 s
budget on the six blocking PreToolUse guards silently dropped the
gates exactly when the host stalled under load. Registers them at
120 s (covers every observed stall, max 84.3 s) and migrates existing
managed timeout:5 entries in place, context-monitor-backfill shape.
Advisory hook budgets are unchanged.

7960374d15 fix(#3962): rename the TDD-Audit trailer token to gate-status (#4174)
* test(#3962): shipped TDD-Audit trailer token must round-trip through git

Behavioral coverage: extract the trailers:key token from ship.md and
prove a real git commit carrying that trailer reads back via
%(trailers:key=token,valueonly). gate_status contains an underscore,
which git's trailer machinery cannot tokenize, so the audit read was
structurally empty.

* fix(#3962): rename the TDD-Audit trailer token to gate-status

Underscore is not a valid git trailer token character, so
%(trailers:key=gate_status,...) could never match. Renames the token
at the read, the documented aggregate write, and the section's
prose/table header. Self-suppression semantics (#2431) unchanged.

* test(#3962): compare outcome against the seam's literal, fix doc token

Review follow-ups: the round-trip test compared outcome to 'EXITED'
but the process seam emits 'exited'; and the trailer rename is
propagated to docs/ship-pr-body-sections.md's read/write examples.

91d5fdff6f chore(#3546): migrate hook advisory assertions onto typed output surfaces (#4167)
* chore(#3546): migrate hook advisory assertions onto typed output surfaces

Add additive typed fields to 5 hook scripts' PreToolUse/PostToolUse
advisory output alongside the existing additionalContext prose:

- gsd-read-guard.js: code ('READ_BEFORE_EDIT'), fileName
- gsd-context-monitor.js: severity ('warning'|'critical')
- gsd-prompt-guard.js: findings ([{ruleId, match}], module-local RULE_IDS
  + renderFinding mapper mirroring gsd-read-injection-scanner.js's #3523
  pattern)
- gsd-read-injection-scanner.js: severity ('LOW'|'HIGH'), source (its
  findings array already existed from #3523)
- gsd-workflow-guard.js: code ('WORKFLOW_ADVISORY') on the advisory leg,
  distinct from the existing force-add block leg's code

additionalContext stays byte-identical in every hook (verified per-hook
against the pristine HEAD version across a spread of payload shapes).

Migrates all 20 assertion sites named in the issue off
additionalContext.includes(...)/assert.match(...) substring-matching
onto the new typed fields, per CONTRIBUTING.md's prohibition on raw
text matching on test outputs.

Closes #3546

* test: fix undersized commit-class timeout in gsd-statusline.test.cjs's commitN helper

Surfaced by gsd-test on the #3546 checkpoint: `commitN()`'s loop called
gitOrThrow(['add','-A']/['commit',...]) without a timeoutMs override, so
each call used DEFAULT_GIT_TIMEOUT_MS (15s) -- a bound git-fixture.cjs's
own doc comment says is sized for plumbing reads (rev-parse/branch/log),
not write-heavy add/commit spawns. That file already documents the exact
same defect class from a prior incident (PR #3323) and exports
GIT_FIXTURE_TIMEOUT_MS (60s) for fixture-construction call sites -
commitN just wasn't using it. Observed failure: `git commit -m filler 9`
timed out under normal bench load, unrelated to any of this PR's own
diff (hooks/*.js + 5 other test files).

Not a flake: root-caused to the timeout bound being sized for the wrong
call class, per this repo's no-flakes rule.

f16ff7d1b3 enhance(#3545): widen no-source-grep with fold+hooks, migrate 76 sites (#4161)
* feat(#3545): widen no-source-grep with one-hop path-fold and hooks dir

Resolve a readFileSync() path argument that is a bare Identifier one hop
back to its VariableDeclarator initializer before classification, and
recognize `hooks` as a source directory alongside bin/lib/gsd-core/src.

Measured (epic #3464 phase 7): fold+hooks together newly flag 76
unsuppressed sites across 18 files that were previously invisible to
identifier-indirected or hooks/-rooted source reads. Neither widening
alone is sufficient — hooks-only surfaces 0 new sites, confirming #3520's
prior finding that the identifier-indirection gap must close first.

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

* test(#3545): migrate 76 sites newly flagged by the fold+hooks widening

Per-site classification: rewrite behaviorally (require() the real module,
assert on its actual exported behavior) wherever the read was a proxy for
code behavior; add a site-scoped `// allow-test-rule: <reason> (#3545)`
marker only where the raw source text genuinely is the product under test
(codex-config.test.cjs's adapter-header-contract checks, install.js
structural-wiring guards with no exported symbol, AST-parse fixture
inputs, etc.) — each marker cites an existing repo-sanctioned category
from CONTRIBUTING.md's allow-test-rule exception table.

Also converts two try/finally test bodies (introduced during this same
migration) to the required t.after() cleanup pattern per CONTRIBUTING.md.

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

* chore(#3545): re-baseline effective-exemption ceiling to 81

The fold+hooks widening's own newly-detected sites are now suppressed by
site-scoped markers, moving them from invisible into the tightly-ratcheted
effective-exemption count. Ceiling rises from 10 to 81 (the exact measured
high-water mark, grace unchanged at 2) — a deliberate, measured re-baseline
per the widening working as intended, not an ordinary ceiling bump.

* fix(#3545): use canonical allow-test-rule category tokens

4 markers added during migration cited an issue ref correctly but didn't
use one of CONTRIBUTING.md's seven recognized category tokens, unlike
every other marker in this change. Cosmetic only — same suppression
lines, same effective/live counts (81/81, 0 live).

ff0361071d feat(#3653): add review.models.cursor — wire modelArg/modelConfigKey for the cursor reviewer lane (#4160)
* feat(#3653): add review.models.cursor — wire modelArg/modelConfigKey for the cursor reviewer lane

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

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

- tests/settings-integrations.test.cjs: the #3651 keyless-lane test
  listed cursor as keyless, including a live config-set assertion that
  now correctly succeeds instead of failing (swapped to qwen).

bf4485ada2 enhance(#3717): make the edge probe's shape cues language-aware via an optional text_en field (#4156)
* test(#3717): add failing-first coverage for text_en language-aware classification

Adds unit tests for the not-yet-implemented text_en field on Requirement
(fallback selection, empty/whitespace/non-string rejection, shapes-override
precedence), a SHAPE_CUES/VALID_SHAPES parity guard (RULESET.GENERATIVE-FIX),
and workflow-prose contract tests asserting spec-phase.md Step 5.5 documents
populating text_en for response_language projects. All new tests are RED
until src/edge-probe.cts and the workflow docs are updated.

* feat(#3717): make edge-probe shape classification read an optional text_en field

Requirement gains an optional text_en; classifyShape's own signature stays
untouched (a locked, directly-tested export), and the text_en ?? text
selection is pushed to proposeEdges' single call site instead. text_en is
validated fail-closed: an empty or whitespace-only value throws rather than
silently winning the ?? fallback and degrading classification to zero shapes.

This makes the #2773 doc-only translation convention an explicit,
validatable field instead of an invisible instruction, per the approved
Form-1 scope on #3717.

* docs(#3717): document the text_en field across spec-phase, reference and how-to docs

Updates Step 5.5's response_language instructions, the edge-probe reference
Inputs contract, the FEATURES.md fragment, and the non-English how-to guide
to describe the new text_en field: text keeps the requirement's own wording
in all cases, text_en (when populated) is the engine-only English rendering
the classifier prefers.

* docs(#3717): record the text_en locked-surface change in CONTEXT.md and ADR-550

Updates the Edge Probe Module glossary entry to describe the text_en field
and its fail-closed validation, and appends an ADR-550 amendment recording
why this is additive and does not re-open the #652 LLM-classifier rejection
(text_en is a plain field read by the existing deterministic regex
classifier, not a new model-dependent surface).

* docs(#3717): add changeset fragment and regenerate FEATURES.md

pr:0 placeholder — backfilled with the real PR number after the PR opens.

* docs(#3717): attribute the text_en machine check to engine-level validation, not prose tests

Code-review (Spec axis) finding: the workflow-prose contract tests and the
ADR-550 amendment overclaimed themselves as "the machine check the #2773
doc-only stopgap lacked." That check is actually engine-level
(validateRequirement/classifyShape, covered in tests/edge-probe.test.cjs) —
the prose tests are the same style of assertion #2773 already used. Reworded
both to attribute the claim correctly.

* fix(#3717): rewrap spec-phase.md so the id-unchanged sentence stays on one line

The #3717 rewrite of Step 5.5's response_language paragraph moved a line
break so "requirement `id`s" ended one physical line and "are never
translated" started the next. The pre-existing #2773 regression test
(tests/edge-probe-spec-phase-contract.test.cjs) asserts id + "never
translated" on the SAME line (no \n in between, matching git's own
line-oriented prose), so the reflow silently broke it. Rewrapped so the
sentence lands on one line again, verified against every #2773/#3717
regex assertion in that test file.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: spec-phase.md — #3717 adds text_en documentation to Step 5.5 (response_language paragraph + REQS_JSON heredoc comment); this growth is this PR's own diff, not incidental drift.

* test(#3348): add failing-first coverage for the context-drift gate

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(and clarify the assertion message) without weakening the test's

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* feat(#3778): add changeset fragment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* test(#3778): require contributions in Quick revision prompts

* test(loop-host): require Quick auxiliary registration

* fix(#3778): preserve contributions in Quick plan revisions

parity.

* fix(#3945): require a non-empty denominator for milestone-complete

Both statusline renderers compared the regex-captured string counters
directly, so '0' && '0' && '0' === '0' fired Scene 3 on the empty set.

c9bff8d2b9 fix(#3899): resolve REVIEWS.md by quoted assignment, not an unquoted ls (#3928)
* fix(#3899): resolve REVIEWS.md by quoted assignment, not an unquoted ls

The convergence loop resolved the phase REVIEWS.md through
`$(ls ${phase_dir}/... 2>/dev/null)`. The unquoted ${phase_dir} word-splits,
so a project path containing a space handed `ls` arguments that do not exist,
the discarded stderr hid the error, and the empty result was reported as
"review agent did not produce REVIEWS.md" — blaming the agent for a quoting
defect. A glob metacharacter fails worse: the pattern expands to whatever
sibling directory matches, so the loop silently reads a different phase's
REVIEWS.md and `ls` still exits 0.

Assign the path directly, quoted, and fail closed with an error that names the
expected location. The regression block extracts the bash fence from the
shipped workflow and RUNS it against space-, glob- and missing-file fixtures,
because every text assertion in that suite passed against the broken line.

* chore(#3899): add the changelog fragment

* fix(#3899): reject a non-file reviews path and anchor the gate harness

Adversarial review (codex, gemini) on the first cut, three findings taken:

- `[ -r ]` alone is true for a readable DIRECTORY, so a directory standing
  where the reviews file belongs passed the gate and reached the consumers
  that read it. Require a regular file as well.
- the harness picked its fence by scanning the WHOLE document for a bash
  block assigning REVIEWS_FILE. If the real fence ever stopped assigning it
  and an unrelated one started, the harness would execute the wrong block and
  report green. Anchor the span to the verification step, between its opening
  sentence and the next heading.
- the no-subshell assertion matched only `$(`; a backtick rewrite would
  reintroduce identical word-splitting unseen. The discarded-stderr assertion
  is scoped to lines naming REVIEWS_FILE rather than banning the redirect
  across the whole fence.

Four findings declined: `return 1 || exit 1` (the document's own idiom is a
bare `exit 1`, including the guard immediately below), `${phase_dir:-}` for
`set -u` (unchanged exposure from the old line, and an unset phase_dir is a
bug worth surfacing), an explicit empty-phase_dir branch (the guard already
fails closed and prints the truncated path), and a downstream
`[ -n "$REVIEWS_FILE" ]` hazard (no such consumer exists — the guard exits
before any of them run).

* chore(#3899): backfill the changeset PR number

* fix(#3899): address required review feedback

Use the fragment-aware workflow reader, remove the inert exemption marker, document the unreadable-arm coverage limit, align errors with the workflow convention, and name an empty phase_dir directly. Migrate the obsolete emitted-drift fragment to the current commit-trailer contract.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: plan-review-convergence.md — #3899: replace unquoted $(ls ... 2>/dev/null) resolution with a quoted direct path, fail-closed file/readability checks, and an explicit phase_dir diagnostic; surrounding prose records why quoting is load-bearing.

Regression tests for the planner-persona leak in quick's Step 4.75

researcher dispatch uses the researcher persona/tier while planner and
executor dispatches keep their own.

eca9c2b590 fix(#4112): portable grep in workflow markdown + submodule commit fix under diff.ignoreSubmodules (#4149)
* fix(#4112): ban GNU-only grep -P in workflow markdown to prevent macOS regressions

Add scripts/lint-portable-grep.cjs, wire it into lint:ci, and add
tests/lint-portable-grep.test.cjs. The #4112 shell-syntax fix newly exposed
a pre-existing grep -oP invocation that silently resolves to "" on stock
macOS's BSD grep (no -P support). This ratchet catches the same class of
GNU-coreutils assumption before it merges, mirroring lint-portable-timeout.cjs.

* fix(#4112): drop unneeded ls -l long-format that broke basename/dirname extraction

The previous commit on this branch replaced grep -oP 'phases/\K[^/]+'
(GNU-only, silently fails on macOS's BSD grep) with
basename "$(dirname "$phase")"), but left ls -lt (long format, -l) in
place. -l output is a full detail line (permissions, owner, size, date,
path), not a bare path, so dirname on that string throws "illegal
option -- r" (BSD) / errors under GNU coreutils too -- the extraction
never produced a usable value, on any platform. -l was never needed
here; only mtime-sort plus the bare path mattered. Dropping it to
ls -t restores one-bare-path-per-line output, which basename/dirname
actually requires. Confirmed on gsd-test's Linux bench: the #4112
regression test (tests/pause-work-context-detection.test.cjs) now
passes phase, spike, and sketch resolution.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: pause-work.md — portability fix (#4112): dropping grep -oP for a portable basename/dirname extraction is a few characters longer per line; no functional growth beyond the fix.
Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: sync-skills.md — portability fix (#4112): replacing grep -oP '(?<=--from )\S+' with a portable sed -E capture-group equivalent (no PCRE lookbehind available) is a longer expression; growth is the direct cost of the fix, not new functionality.

* fix(#3859): pin git commit itself against diff.ignoreSubmodules=all, not just the probe

git 2.39.x (the exact version on the CI Linux bench) resolves a
pathspec-scoped `git commit -- <path>` through the same
diff.ignoreSubmodules-gated machinery as `git diff`, so a genuinely
bumped submodule gitlink was silently dropped by the real commit even
though the #3859 empty-diff probe correctly saw the change. The commit
was misclassified as generic commit_failed because git's refusal text
never says "nothing to commit". Prefix the pathspec-scoped commit
invocation with -c diff.ignoreSubmodules=dirty, the same override the
probe already carries, so the two can no longer disagree. Confirmed on
git 2.50.1 (no-op) and git 2.39.5 via the actual gsd-tester-linux
v1.8.0-node24 bench image (turns the silent refusal into a commit).

* fix(#3859): carry the diff.ignoreSubmodules override via env, not argv

The prior commit prepended `-c diff.ignoreSubmodules=dirty` to the real
commit's argv, which shifted `commitArgs[0]` off `'commit'` and broke
several pre-existing #3859 regression tests
(tests/commit-files-pathspec.test.cjs) that assert on the raw argv
captured at the execGit seam, e.g. `gitCalls.some((a) => a[0] ===
'commit')`. Carry the same override via `GIT_CONFIG_COUNT` /
`GIT_CONFIG_KEY_0` / `GIT_CONFIG_VALUE_0` env vars instead, which git
honours identically and leaves argv untouched. Re-confirmed on the
gsd-tester-linux v1.8.0-node24 bench (git 2.39.5): the submodule commit
still succeeds.

* test(#3859): pin the commitEnv GIT_CONFIG_* override to canScope directly

The commitEnv/GIT_CONFIG_* override added in e935694fc/b3d37b929 was only
exercised indirectly through pre-existing submodule integration tests. Add
two dedicated regression tests that pin the canScope=false side of the
scoping decision: a whole-index commit (no --files) and an --amend commit
must both keep recording a bumped submodule gitlink under
diff.ignoreSubmodules=all with no override applied, since neither shape
carries a pathspec for that git internal check to consult.

* fix(#4112): match grep invocations after then/do/else/elif shell keywords

lint-portable-grep.cjs's GREP_INVOCATION_RE only anchored to line-start or
right after `| & ; ( \` {`, so a grep call positioned right after `then`,
`do`, `else`, or `elif` (e.g. `if x; then grep -oP '...'; fi`) was never
flagged, letting the GNU-only grep -P defect this lint exists to catch
reappear undetected in that shape.

* fix(#3859): apply the diff.ignoreSubmodules override to every commit, not just scoped ones

The commitEnv GIT_CONFIG_* override landed in e935694fc/b3d37b929 only when
canScope was true, on the assumption that git 2.39.5's silent refusal of a
bumped submodule gitlink under diff.ignoreSubmodules=all only affects a
pathspec-limited `git commit -- <paths>`. Reproduced directly against the
pinned CI tester image (ghcr.io/open-gsd/gsd-tester-linux:v1.8.0-node24,
git 2.39.5): a bare whole-index `git commit -m ...` with no pathspec at all
is refused identically when the only staged change is a submodule gitlink,
since git's "nothing to commit" check is a real diff against HEAD that
honours diff.ignoreSubmodules regardless of whether a pathspec narrows it.
Apply the override unconditionally instead of gating it on canScope; it
remains a confirmed no-op for --amend, which never hits this refusal at
all. Caught by the new regression test added in 579ac9f8f, which failed
against the real bench git version before this change.

* fix(#3859): apply diff.ignoreSubmodules override to commit-to-subrepo and pr-subrepo

cmdCommit already carries the GIT_CONFIG_* override that forces
diff.ignoreSubmodules=dirty on the actual git commit call so a bumped
submodule gitlink is not spuriously refused under git 2.39.5. The two
sibling multi-repo commit paths, cmdCommitToSubrepo and cmdPrSubrepo,
build the identical canScope-branched commit invocation but never
carried the override, so the same refusal there surfaces as a generic
commit_failed/error instead of a recorded gitlink. Apply the override
unconditionally to both, matching the corrected cmdCommit shape.

* fix(#3859): pin pr-subrepo's change detection against diff.ignoreSubmodules

cmdPrSubrepo discovers what to commit via `git status --porcelain`, which
(like the empty-diff probe fixed for cmdCommit) honors a local
diff.ignoreSubmodules=all config. Under that config, a genuinely bumped
submodule gitlink is invisible to the status scan, so changedFiles comes
back empty and the function reports nothing_to_commit before ever reaching
the commit call this same issue already fixed. Pin the status probe with
--ignore-submodules=dirty, mirroring the flag cmdCommit's diff probe already
uses, so a real gitlink bump is detected regardless of local config.

Found while adding a regression test for the previous #3859 follow-up fix:
the test failed not on the commit step but on this earlier detection step.

bdfc62889b fix(#3784): read the hybrid Current Plan: N of M shape, keep zero-padding, and name the accepted shapes on failure (#3791)
* fix(state): read the hybrid "Current Plan: N of M" shape

advancePlanCore derived the value FORMAT from the field NAME, so it
handled the legacy pair (`Current Plan` + `Total Plans in Phase`) and the
compound `Plan: N of M`, but not the hybrid of the two: the legacy field
name carrying a compound value with no Total Plans sibling. `legacyTotal`
is null so the legacy branch fell through, and the compound branch reads
the `Plan` field through a `^Plan:`-anchored pattern that never matches
`Current Plan:`. Both produced NaN against a file whose plan numbers are
plainly readable.

The shape is not exotic. An agent wrote it unprompted into a project's
STATE.md, believing it was the parseable form, and every subsequent run
in that project inherited the failure and worked around it by hand.

Track the field name and the value shape separately (`planSourceField`,
`planRawValue`) so write-back targets whichever field the value came
from. The legacy pair still takes precedence when both fields exist, so
a stray "of N" inside Current Plan cannot override an explicit Total
Plans — covered by a new test.

Also replace the caller's catch-all error. It reported "Cannot parse
Current Plan or Total Plans" for ANY transition failure, and named no
accepted shape, so a reader learned neither what failed nor what to
write. It now distinguishes "no result" from "unreadable plan position"
and lists all three shapes. The existing test asserted the literal
"cannot parse"; it now asserts the message names the shapes, which is
the property that makes it actionable.

* fix(state): keep zero-padding when advancing a compound plan value

The compound write-back rewrote only the leading half of "N of M", so a
padded value drifted lopsided: "04 of 06" advanced to "5 of 06". Cosmetic
on its own, but a plan line that looks wrong is one the next writer tidies
by hand, and hand-tidying this particular line is what produced the hybrid
shape the previous commit had to teach the parser to read.

Pad the incremented number to the width it was written with. padStart never
truncates, so a value that outgrows its padding widens correctly: 09 of 12
advances to 10 of 12. Unpadded values are untouched — 2 of 6 still advances
to 3 of 6.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016QHxbMHTPYbEqAnKTpJPR8

* fix(state): pass a literal field name to the compound write-back

The previous commit passed `planSourceField` — a variable — as the field-name
argument to `stateReplaceField`, which trips the state-write-path drift guard's
`unstripped_content_write` axis (ADR-3408 §8.3(b)). The guard is right to care:
a Title-Case literal cannot collide with a lowercase or snake_case frontmatter
key, so it is safe whatever the content argument is, while a variable could
hold anything and therefore requires its content to be demonstrably
frontmatter-stripped first.

The content argument here IS stripped — `body` is `stripFrontmatter(content)` —
but the guard does a narrow backward scan rather than dataflow tracking, by
design, and the nearest preceding assignment to `body` is another
`stateReplaceField` result. Rather than baseline a bypass or ask a future
reader to re-derive that the invariant holds, dispatch on the discriminator and
pass the literal.

Guard goes from 1 finding to 0; its own 32 tests pass.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016QHxbMHTPYbEqAnKTpJPR8

* test(#3784): cover the maintainer's AC1 write-back and AC6 reader-anchoring

Triage published six acceptance criteria; two were only half-covered.

AC1 asks that the hybrid write back to the SAME field with padding preserved.
The existing hybrid test used an unpadded value and asserted only `result.data`,
so it proved the parse but never the write. Now asserts the written content is
`05 of 06` on the original field, and that no separate `Plan:` field appears as
a side effect.

AC6 asks that the shared field reader not be loosened. Reading the hybrid is the
transition's job; `stateExtractField('Plan')` is line-anchored and has 13+
callers, so teaching it to match a name merely ENDING in "Plan" would be the
wrong fix and would silently change what those callers read. This holds by
construction here — the reader is untouched — but nothing locked it in. The new
test fails if anyone later reaches for that shortcut.

Also drops the changeset fragment written against the auto-closed PR number.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016QHxbMHTPYbEqAnKTpJPR8

* fix(#3784): write the advanced plan back to the field it was read from

Review findings 2-6 on #3791 were one defect seen from several angles: the
read path learned the hybrid `Current Plan: N of M` shape, the write path
did not follow it.

- `bumpLeadingNumber` now owns the increment for all three parse branches.
  Only the leading digits belong to this transition; the padding width and
  everything after it (` of M`, and the `\r` of a CRLF file) are the
  author's text and are preserved. The legacy branch wrote `String(newPlan)`,
  which turned `2 of 99` into `3` and `04` into `5`.
- `mutateCurrentPositionForAdvance` takes the plan field NAME. Its plan arm
  only ever looked for `Plan:`, so on a hybrid file the `## Current Position`
  section was never reached; combined with the body-level write being
  single-shot and bold-preferring, a file carrying the field at both sites
  advanced the header and left the section a plan behind. The parameter
  defaults to `Plan`, so the two callers that pass no plan are unchanged.
- Tests: both-sites-advance (fails without the section arm), legacy
  write-back content assertions (the previous test read only `data` and so
  could not see the lossy write), hybrid boundary at limit-1 and limit+1, a
  CRLF fixture, and an fc property pinning the padding-width contract.

Two characterization tests pinned `**Current Plan:** 02` advancing to `3`.
That dropped padding is the defect #3784 reports, so the expectation is
corrected to `03` rather than the fix being narrowed around it.

* fix(#3784): drop the unreachable advance-plan error branch, sync the doc

Findings 1 and 8 on #3791.

The `!resultData` arm could not fire: the transform callback assigns
`resultData` unconditionally, only runs once STATE.md is known to exist (the
missing-file case returns "STATE.md not found" upstream), and every
`advancePlanCore` return path sets `data`. It was a speculative second
failure mode with a message no caller could receive, and the comment beside
it claimed to distinguish two things that were never two. `!resultData`
stays in the condition as a type guard, which is all it ever was.

`docs/json-errors.md:142` quoted the old error literal verbatim and was the
sole occurrence in the tree; it now quotes the emitted one.

* chore(#3784): describe the write-back fix in the changeset

* fix(#3784): anchor the plan grammar and widen the schema row to match

Review round 3 on #3791: B1, B2, M1, M2, M3, M4 and the planSourceField nit.

B1 — `STATE_FIELD_SCHEMA.current_plan.acceptedShapes` widens to
`['N', 'N of M']`, which is what `src/state-md-schema.cts`'s own comment
instructed this PR to do on merge. `'N/M'` stays undeclared so row 23 keeps a
non-vacuous undeclared candidate to probe. Verified `gen-state-md-docs
--check` exits 0 and `--write` rewrites 0 of 6: the generated artifacts do not
surface this row, so there is nothing stale to regenerate.

B2/M4 — the discriminator was `/of\s+(\d+)/`, unanchored, so a total could be
read out of prose. `Current Plan: 4 — blocked on review of 2 PRs` parsed as
`4 of 2`, took the `currentPlan >= totalPlans` branch and WROTE
`Status: Phase complete — ready for verification` into the user's file. Both
shapes are now anchored at the start and every number comes from a capture
group via `planNumberFrom`, which rejects anything past `Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER`
rather than letting `data` and the persisted string disagree. Nothing on this
path calls `parseInt` on a raw field value any more.

The grammar keeps a trailing remainder after the total, because
`Plan: 2 of 5 in current phase` is a real tested shape. The refusal comes from
requiring `of <total>` to follow the leading number immediately, not from
forbidding a suffix.

M1 — `bumpLeadingNumber` is total. It returned its input unchanged when there
were no leading digits, so `+2` reported `advanced: true` while writing the
file untouched.

M2 — both section arms use replacer functions. File-derived text was being
spliced into a `String.replace` replacement string, where `$&` / `` $` `` /
`$'` expand: a value of `04 of 06 $&` spliced part of the document into itself.
`stateReplaceField` already used a function; these now agree with it.

M3 — the section arm targets the name the SECTION carries, and the body write
now writes both spellings, each with its own rendering. Keying off the header's
name left the other name stale in both directions: a legacy header beside a
`Current Plan:` section line, and a `**Plan:**` header beside one.

* fix(#3784): derive the shape error from the schema, widen the test coverage

Review round 3 on #3791: B3, m1, m2, m5 and the two test nits.

B3 — the accepted-shape set had two owners: the parser branches and an English
list hand-written beside them in `state.cts`. Nothing coupled them, so adding a
branch left the message stale and removing one left it advertising a shape that
errors, with no test able to see either. The message is now built from
`STATE_FIELD_SCHEMA.current_plan.acceptedShapes`, and the CLI test walks the
schema instead of restating the list. `Plan: N of M` is still spelled out
explicitly because no schema row owns the body-only `Plan` field —
`buildStateFrontmatter` never reads it into frontmatter, so it has no key to
hang a row on.

m1 — the property drove only the pre-existing `**Plan:**` branch, i.e. not the
branch under review. It now drives both compound spellings and ranges past 99
so the width transition is covered by the property rather than one example. A
second property covers the legacy pair's own preservation contract. Both were
mutation-checked: dropping the padStart turns 9 tests red.

m2 — degenerate boundary fixtures around the threshold (`0 of 0` is
phase-complete, not an error; `0 of 3` advances) plus the shapes the anchored
grammar must refuse, including Arabic-Indic digits.

m5 — `docs/json-errors.md` described rather than quoted the message, since it
is now schema-derived and a verbatim quote would be a third owner.

Nits — the CRLF assertion could not see a `\n` at index 0; the
`!/^Plan:/m` presence proxy is now an identity assertion on the whole
`## Current Position` body.

* fix(#3784): give the section plan write its own flag, and stop narrowing what parses

Review round 4 on #3791: Blockers 1-4, Majors 1-2, Minors 1-2.

B1 — the section fallback was guarded by `!mutated`, and `mutated` is
FUNCTION-wide, already set by the phase/status/lastActivity arms that
`advancePlanCore` always populates. A section spelling the field bold or as a
pipe-table row therefore skipped its fallback because an UNRELATED field had
been refreshed, and stayed a plan behind the header — the split-brain document
this arm exists to prevent. The arm now tracks its own `planWritten`.

Worth recording: the reviewer's fixture does not reproduce. The body-level
status write lands on the section's own `Status:` when the document has no
header `Status:`, so `mutated` is still false by the time the plan arm runs and
the fallback fires. The discriminating shape needs a header `Status:` to absorb
that write AND a bold section plan line. The mechanism was right; the example
was not, and the regression test uses the shape that actually fails.

B2 — `fallbackName` chose one name by ternary. In the legacy shape both values
are populated, so it always chose `Current Plan` and a `**Plan:**` section line
— which base did write — got nothing. Each name is now attempted independently
with its own fallback.

B3 — `PLAN_SHAPE_N` was anchored harder than `PLAN_SHAPE_N_OF_M`, so values base
parsed via `parseInt` began to hard-error: `Total Plans in Phase: 5 phases`,
`Current Plan: 3 (blocked)`. #3784's brief puts normalizing plan numbers beyond
this transition's read/write out of scope, so that narrowing was not licensed.
Both grammars now carry the same trailing tolerance. The prose defect stays
closed by the START anchor, not by forbidding suffixes.

Major 1 — the whole-body `Plan` write is scoped to documents that declare a
`Plan` field, instead of firing unconditionally where `stateReplaceField`'s
first match could be prose outside `## Current Position`.

Major 2 — the error message names both `Plan` spellings the parser accepts; it
previously omitted the sibling-paired form, which is the same
message-disagrees-with-parser drift the derivation exists to close.

B4 — the changeset claimed a guarantee B1 broke; it now describes what ships.

Minors — safe-integer boundary coverage at limit-1/limit/limit+1, and the CRLF
comment states the real mechanism (`stateExtractField`'s `(.+)` stops before the
CR; the trailing group is belt-and-braces, not the primary defence).

All three blocker regression tests verified red against the pre-fix source.

* test(#3784): pin the hybrid shape against #3807's ambiguity refusal

#4028 landed `advance-plan`'s multi-`Phase:` refusal on `next` after this
branch's last run, on the same function. The guard sits above the parse, so
a refused document is never parsed and the shape #3784 adds cannot reach the
mutation — but that is a property of source ordering, so assert it as
behaviour instead.

Fail-first proven, not assumed: with `phaseCandidates.length > 1` disabled,
the ambiguous hybrid document advances its FIRST entry's
`Current Plan: 04 of 06` to `05 of 06` and writes it — #3807's exact defect,
reached through #3784's shape. Both tests go red; both go green with the
guard restored.

The control pins the other direction: an unambiguous hybrid section still
advances, and its zero-padding still survives.

* fix(#3784): advance every spelling from its own text, refuse when they disagree

Round 6 review. B1 and M1 are one defect, so they are one fix.

`advancePlanCore` picked one field to parse from, computed `newPlan`, then
wrote BOTH spellings from that field's numbers. Two symptoms:

  B1  With `Plan` as the parse source, `Current Plan` was re-stamped with
      the number just derived from `Plan`. `Current Plan: 7` beside
      `Plan: 2 of 5` silently became `Current Plan: 3` — a value nothing
      derived for that field, no error, no diagnostic.
  M1  With the legacy pair winning, the `Plan:` line was re-rendered from
      a bare `${newPlan} of ${totalPlans}` built out of the sibling field.
      `Plan: 2 of 9` became `3 of 5`; `Plan: 03 of 05` became `4 of 5`.
      The changeset's claim that padding and everything after it survive
      was true only for whichever field happened to be the parse source.

Now: every spelling is advanced from its own raw text via
`bumpLeadingNumber`, so each keeps its own padding, its own total and its
own trailing annotation. Differing TOTALS are preserved, not reconciled —
`Plan: 2 of 9` beside a `Total Plans in Phase: 5` advances to `3 of 9`.

Differing CURRENT numbers are refused, with `reason:
"ambiguous_plan_position"` and both candidates named. Same posture as
#3807's multi-`Phase:` guard one field over: name the conflict, let the
caller resolve it, never pick. The guard sits immediately after the parse,
BEFORE the phase-complete branch — guarding only the normal advance would
let `Current Plan: 7` beside `Plan: 5 of 5` write a terminal "Phase
complete" into a document whose two spellings never agreed.

A field present but unreadable (`Plan: TBD`) is left exactly as authored.
Refusing the whole document because an unrelated line cannot be read would
be a narrowing #3784 does not license; writing a derived number over it is
the fabrication B1 was filed for.

The `planSourceField`/`planRawValue`/`useCompoundFormat` tracking is gone.
It existed only so the write path could ask which field the value came
from, and the write path no longer asks.

M2. The bare `Plan: N` + `Total Plans in Phase: M` shape is dropped. A
revision of this PR added it; base refused it. It cannot be given the
schema-row + forcing-test coupling the other shapes have, because `Plan`
is body-only and `buildStateFrontmatter` never reads it into frontmatter,
so there is no `current_*` key to hang a row on. Parser, the spelling in
`advancePlanShapeError`, and the lockstep test move together — the
invariant is the lockstep, not the length of the list.

N1. The whitespace narrowing (`5phases` no longer parses where `parseInt`
read 5) is documented in the changeset beside the other deliberate
narrowings, rather than loosened. Loosening restores the half-parse this
change exists to remove.

Tests: eight new cases plus a property that crosses the two spellings with
agreeing and disagreeing numbers — the review noted the existing
properties never did. Fail-first proven: restoring the old write path
reddens seven of the eight, both new property arms, and two pre-existing
padding tests.

* fix(#3784): report Current Plan as updated only when it was written

The write became conditional in the previous commit — a `Current Plan:`
that is present but unreadable is left as authored — but the `updated`
push stayed unconditional, so `transitionCore` reported a field it had not
touched. `reconcileReportedFields` would have caught it against the
persisted bytes at the `state.cts` caller, but `transitionCore`'s own
`updated` is consumed directly (milestone-lock, the transition tests) and
has to be true on its own.

Covers the mirror of the unreadable-spelling case: `Current Plan: TBD`
beside a readable `Plan: 2 of 5`, where `Plan` is the parse source and the
legacy field is the one that cannot advance. Fail-first proven.

* test(#3784): account for the new refusal in the output({error}) census

`tests/io.test.cjs`' A3 census asserts the exact population of
`output({error})` call sites in `src/`, per module. The
`ambiguous_plan_position` refusal added a 27th to `state.cts`, so the
census went red at 26/65.

Updated the way #3807 updated it when it added the ambiguous-POSITION
error one line above: bump the count and name the addition inline, so the
next person reads why the number is what it is. The alarm did its job —
it is the only gate that noticed a new user-visible error path had been
introduced.

7c116b1c17 fix(#3697): warn when the phase-complete Requirements-line tokenizer under-selects REQ-IDs (#3744)
* fix(#3697): warn when the Requirements line under-selects REQ-IDs

`cmdPhaseComplete` tokenizes ROADMAP's `**Requirements**:` line by splitting
on `[,\s]+` and keeping tokens matching the anchored REQ-ID shape. That is
correct for the canonical comma list the template ships, and silently wrong
for every other form:

  `RANGE-01 … RANGE-05`  ->  the two ENDPOINTS only; the interior IDs are
                             never considered, yet `requirements_updated`
                             reports true with zero warnings
  `RANGE-01…05`          ->  ZERO IDs; the whole line is inert

The silence is structural: the only cross-check, `ghostReqIds`, is itself
`citedReqIds.filter(...)`, so an ID the tokenizer dropped is invisible to it
by construction — and to `traceabilityWriteMisses` and `requirements_updated`
with it.

Warn on both paths. This does not add range support: the selected set is
unchanged, so no existing ledger write changes. The trigger is ID-SHAPED
EVIDENCE only — an ID-shaped substring the tokenizer did not select, or a
range operator joining two IDs — with parenthetical citations and HTML
comments stripped before the scan, so the #2334/#2339 over-warning on
`None`, on the shipped `<!-- brackets optional -->` template comment, and on
annotated lines cannot return.

Regression tests extend the #2316/#2334 fixture family in tests/phase.test.cjs
(10 cases: 4 defect, 2 canonical controls, 4 negative-space controls).

Fixes #3697

* fix(#3697): rework under-selection detection onto tokens, not a free-text scan

Round 2, driven by the P4.6 cross-AI review (codex, gpt-5.6-sol) of b3ce71cb.
That review refuted 5 of 9 claims; three were false-positive classes in exactly
the category #2334/#2339 had to REMOVE:

  `RANGE-01, RANGE-02 - 3 points`        the bare-hyphen alternative read
                                         `RANGE-02 - 3` as a range
  `REQ-01, REQ-02 — locked per ADR-7.`   the trailing period kept `ADR-7.` out
                                         of the anchored filter, so the
                                         unanchored substring scan reported it
                                         as unparsed
  `REQ-01, REQ-02 (see (ADR-7), then ADR-8)`
                                         nested parens left `ADR-8)` behind

Replaces the free-text substring scan + loose range regex with three narrow,
token-based rules (R1 range-shaped token, R2 pure range operator flanked by two
selected IDs, R3 zero-selection with ID-shaped text). Also fixes the review's
CLAIM 9: the warning said IDs were "marked complete" when a ghost range marks
nothing — it now says "selected".

Side effect: the two false NEGATIVES the same review found are now covered —
`RANGE-01 through RANGE-05` and a parenthesised `(plus RANGE-02..RANGE-05)`.

NOT YET DONE (see the handoff prompt): regression tests for the four false
positives, the two new true positives, and the #3697-4 tightening the review's
CLAIM 8 asked for (it currently filters on the warning's phrasing rather than
asserting silence). Verified so far: tsc clean, the 10 existing #3697 tests
green, and a 20-case standalone harness covering every case above.

* test(#3697): pin the v2 token-detector boundary end-to-end

Six new cases + two hardenings for the review findings against v1:

- #3697-1 gains the worded spaced range (`RANGE-01 through RANGE-05`) —
  the operator set's `to|thru|through` arm was previously untested.
- #3697-5 (new): a tight range hidden inside balanced parentheses
  (`RANGE-01 (plus RANGE-02..RANGE-05)`) warns, names the range token,
  and ticks exactly RANGE-01 — the paren shave must not hide it.
- #3697-4 gains the four false-positive classes a free-text detector
  produced: numeric estimate (`- 3 points`), date annotation, em-dash
  citation with trailing period (`— locked per ADR-7.`), and nested
  parenthetical citations.
- #3697-3 and #3697-4 now assert the ENTIRE warnings channel is empty,
  not that one phrase is absent — a re-worded over-warning cannot pass.

Negative control: against the merge-base with its lib rebuilt, all 6
defect tests fail and all 10 controls pass.

* fix(#3697): close round-2 review findings — annotation false positives

Round 2 of the adversarial review (against 822a72a04) refuted five
claims; this closes the false-positive class and the cheap misses:

- R1's bare-hyphen arm now demands a full ID on BOTH sides
  (`REQ-01-REQ-05`): `LETTERS-\d+-\d+` is also a date-like annotation
  (`FY-2026-08`) and a sub-numbered ID, and warning on those is the
  expensive class. Tight hyphen shorthand with a live selection is the
  disclosed false negative; at zero selection R3 still catches it.
- R2 requires the endpoint pair to imply an INTERIOR (same prefix,
  gap > 1): `REQ-02 - REQ-03` selects both endpoints and can drop
  nothing, so an annotation hyphen between adjacent IDs stays silent.
- R3 skips placeholder-led lines: `None (per ADR-7)` is a declared-empty
  line citing its rationale, not unparsed residue.
- Token shave: quotes/backticks now shaved from alphanumeric tokens
  (`` `RANGE-02..RANGE-05` `` warns); punctuation-only tokens get a
  bracket-only shave so `(..)` surfaces its operator.
- 256-char token cap bounds the quadratic unanchored substring test.
- Warning text mentions range expansion only when a range rule fired.

Tests: 6 new cases (22 total). Negative control against the merge-base:
8 defect tests fail, 14 controls pass.

* fix(#3697): close round-3 review findings — half-spaced ranges, cross-prefix annotations, markdown wrappers

Round 3 of the adversarial review (against 2eb92dd0e) refuted four
claims; this closes them:

- Half-spaced ranges (`REQ-01 -REQ-05`, `REQ-01- REQ-05`) split at the
  tokenizer before R1's `\s*` can see them and under-selected silently.
  A glued-fragment rule warns when an operator is glued to a full ID
  with an ID-shaped neighbour on the open side and the endpoint pair
  implies an interior.
- Cross-prefix pairs around a separator no longer read as ranges:
  `REQ-02 - (ADR-7)` and `REQ-02 (...) (ADR-7)` are annotations, and
  real ranges are same-prefix by nature. `impliesInterior` now returns
  false on prefix mismatch and computes the gap with BigInt (parseInt
  lost precision past 2^53).
- The token shave now removes markdown emphasis markers and curly
  quotes, so `**None** (per ADR-7)` reaches the placeholder gate and
  `**RANGE-02..RANGE-05**` reaches R1.
- The unanchored-substring cap rises to 2048 (a markdown-link range
  with a long URL cleared 256); the anchored range regexes scan
  linearly and drop their cap.

Tests: 6 new cases (28 total; 377/377 file-wide). Negative control
against the merge-base: 11 defect tests fail, 17 controls pass.

* fix(#3697): round-4 review finding — word operators excluded from glued-fragment rule

`TOREQ-05` is a valid prefix-agnostic REQ-ID, and the glued-fragment
rule read it as `to` + `REQ-05`, warning on the canonical two-ID list
`REQ-01, TOREQ-05`. Glued fragments are now SYMBOL-operator-only
(`..`+, ellipsis, dashes): a word operator glued to an ID is an ID,
not a range spelling.

Tests: word-operator-prefixed ID control (misparse channel silent; the
fixture's ghost-ID warning legitimately fires, so the whole-channel
assertion stays with the registered controls) and an underscore-wrapped
tight-range defect case. 30 targeted cases; 379/379 file-wide; negative
control: 12 defect tests fail on the merge-base, 18 controls pass.

* fix(#3697): round-5 review findings — trailing word-op glue, dot shave, honest wording

- The glued-fragment TRAILING arm takes the word operators back: an ID
  must end in digits, so `REQ-01through` can never be an ID — the
  round-4 TOREQ collision was leading-arm-only, and symbol-only on both
  arms lost the `REQ-01through REQ-05` typo class.
- A trailing run of 2+ dots survives the punctuation shave: `REQ-01..`
  is a glued range operator, not sentence punctuation, and the shave
  was silently eating the `REQ-01.. REQ-05` form.
- The warning now says the line "could not be parsed as" a
  comma-separated REQ-ID list: `**REQ-01**, **REQ-05**` IS such a list
  — the selector just cannot parse decorated tokens — and a warning
  that misstates the input teaches readers to distrust it.

Tests: two new trailing-glue defect cases (32 targeted; 381/381
file-wide). Negative control: 14 defect tests fail on the merge-base,
18 controls pass.

* test(#3697): use t.after for cleanup per CONTRIBUTING test ruleset

CONTRIBUTING bans try/finally inside test bodies (it masks failures);
the approved shape is `t.after(() => cleanup(tmpDir))`. All seven
converted tests are this PR's own additions; the file's pre-existing
instances are untouched.

* chore(#3697): add changeset fragment for the Requirements-line under-selection warning

changeset-lint fails on this PR (fail_missing_fragment): src/phase.cts is a
user-facing surface and the branch carried no .changeset/*.md. Adds the Fixed
fragment via `npm run changeset -- --type Fixed --pr 3744`, symptom-led per
the house format, with the (#3697) backlink.

* refactor(#3697): extract the Requirements-line detector to a testable surface

Round-3 review Blocker 1 requires a fast-check property test over this
detector (`RULESET.TESTS.property-based-testing`: modules implementing
parsing contracts must include at least one), and Blocker 2 requires
limit-1/limit/limit+1 fixtures on its 2048-char token cap
(`RULESET.TESTS.boundary-coverage.fixtures`). Neither is expressible while
the logic is a closure inside `cmdPhaseComplete`: every existing #3697 test
reaches it by spawning the CLI, and a property test cannot pay a subprocess
per generated case.

So the selector and the three detection rules move to module scope as
`analyzeRequirementsLine` (pure, exported) plus
`formatRequirementsLineWarning`, and `cmdPhaseComplete` calls them. This
commit changes NO behaviour: `tests/phase.test.cjs` is untouched here, and
the pre-round suite passes against it unmodified (403/403).

Two things the move makes explicit rather than incidental. The selector and
the detector tokenize the SAME line DIFFERENTLY — the selector strips only
`[` and `]`, the detector also shaves quotes, emphasis and trailing sentence
punctuation — and that gap is deliberate: it is why `ADR-7)` is not selected
while `ADR-7` is still nameable in a warning. They now sit adjacent with the
reason written down, so they cannot drift apart silently.

And the stale citations in the moved comment are corrected. It pointed at
src/phase.cts:833,920,1078 for the `**Requirements**: TBD` seeds, which had
drifted to 1132/1237/1413, and at `templates/roadmap.md:32`, which is
`gsd-core/templates/roadmap.md:32`. Both are now anchored by content.

* fix(#3697): stop the warning claiming a misparse that did not happen

Round-3 review Major 3 and Minor 4. Both are the same defect: the warning
asserted more than the evidence supported.

MAJOR 3 — a correct comma list such as `RANGE-01, RANGE-02 — RANGE-05
deferred` warned "could not be parsed ... Range forms are not expanded;
rewrite the line". Reproduced: it selects RANGE-01, RANGE-02 AND RANGE-05,
i.e. every ID written on the line. Nothing was dropped, and the pinned
control only stayed silent because its pair was ADJACENT (gap == 1), so the
control was passing by accident of the fixture rather than by the rule.

The obvious fix — go silent — is not available. `RANGE-02 — RANGE-05` as a
range and as an annotation separator are textually identical, and no
token-level rule separates them; staying quiet re-opens the exact silent
under-selection #3697 is about. Deciding the ambiguity by assertion in
either direction is wrong. So it is DISCLOSED: the warning now has two
channels, chosen by whether any ID-shaped token was actually left unselected
(`droppedIdShaped`).

  * something was dropped (tight range, glued fragment, inert residue)
    -> "could not be parsed as a comma-separated REQ-ID list", as before.
  * nothing was dropped (only the spaced-operator rule fired)
    -> "contains what reads as a range between two cited REQ-IDs", stating
    both readings and saying explicitly that an annotation separator means
    the line is already correct.

This retires the "could not be parsed" wording for the four #3697-1 spaced
cases too, and that is a deliberate expectation change rather than a fix
counted twice: those lines never failed to parse either. They still warn,
still name the selected IDs, and still assert the endpoint-only marking is
unchanged; #3697-1 now also asserts the misparse channel stays SILENT.

MINOR 4 — `Deferred (see ADR-7)` reported `Unparsed text: ADR-7`, naming a
citation as requirement content it had failed to read. The trigger is
correct and stays: #3697's acceptance criterion asks for a warning "when it
selects zero IDs from a line that is non-empty and is not the `TBD`
placeholder", and inferring placeholder-ness from arbitrary prose is the
free-text heuristic this detector exists to avoid. What was wrong is the
wording, so the non-range arm now says "ID-shaped text that was not
selected" and names the escape the author actually has (`TBD` / `None`).

Tests: #3697-9 (three spaced forms — must warn, must NOT claim a misparse,
must offer both readings) and #3697-10 (`Deferred (see ADR-7)`, `N/A
(tracked in ADR-12)` — must warn, must not say "Unparsed text", must not
diagnose a range, must name the placeholder escape).

Reversion control: reverting the ambiguous channel fails #3697-9 (3 named
tests); reverting the R3 wording fails #3697-10 (2 named tests).

* fix(#3697): cap every token predicate, complete the dash set, cover the boundary

Round-3 review Blocker 2 and Nit 6, plus one self-found finding. All three
are about the detector's own predicates, so they land together.

BLOCKER 2 — the 2048-char budget had no boundary coverage.
`RULESET.TESTS.boundary-coverage.fixtures` requires limit-1 / limit /
limit+1 for any budget parameter. #3697-B1 and #3697-B2 now exercise 2047 /
2048 / 2049 against BOTH predicate families the cap guards, and each asserts
its fixture's exact length before asserting behaviour, so a mis-built
fixture fails loudly rather than passing at the wrong size. Clause (d) of
that rule — an input pushed within reserve-distance of the limit — has no
referent here: this is a hard cap with no reserve constant beside it, and
the test comment says so rather than leaving the omission to be re-derived.

NIT 6 — the cap guarded only the unanchored ID-substring regex. The
anchored range regexes were left uncapped, justified by a comment asserting
they scan linearly. The finding is right that this is informational (they
are anchored; the input is a local ROADMAP.md), but an asserted property is
cheaper to enforce than to defend, so all three predicates now share one
`short()` guard. #3697-B2 is what pins it: at 2049 the anchored scan must
now decline to classify.

SELF-FOUND (RV4 guard-shape census) — the range-operator set is a list this
code fixes at author time over a domain that grows without it, so the round
owes a census of what the enumeration reaches.

  reached:     `..`+, U+2026, U+2013, U+2014, ASCII `-`, to/thru/through
  NOT reached: U+2010 hyphen, U+2011 non-breaking hyphen, U+2012 figure
               dash, U+2015 horizontal bar, U+2212 minus sign
  consequence: a range spelled with any of those is SILENTLY under-selected
               — #3697's own defect, in the code that exists to fix it

Those five close. They are the same operator at a different codepoint and
carry none of the ASCII hyphen's collision risk, because they are not the
REQ-ID separator: `FY-2026-08` is date-shaped only with ASCII hyphens, so a
U+2010 never reaches the ID shape. They therefore join the NOHYPHEN arm
beside `—` and `–`; the strict full-ID-both-sides shape the bare hyphen is
held to is untouched, and #3697-12 pins that.

Still NOT reached, declined with reason rather than left unstated: `→`, `~`,
`..=`, `..<`, `until`, and `up to` (two tokens, so never one operator
token). Each is a symbol or word with an independent non-range use between
two REQ-IDs — the over-warning class #2334 cost three rounds.

Reversion control: reverting the uniform cap fails #3697-B2 (limit+1);
reverting the dash set fails #3697-11 (5 named tests).

* test(#3697): add the fast-check property coverage the parser rule requires

Round-3 review Blocker 1. `RULESET.TESTS.property-based-testing` (CONTEXT.md)
requires modules implementing parsing contracts to carry at least one
fast-check property test asserting a domain invariant, and the round-2 diff
had zero occurrences of `fc.` across its +311 test lines. Five properties,
1,900 generated cases:

  P1  soundness of silence (boundary containment) — for ANY canonical comma
      list of well-formed REQ-IDs, the selected set EQUALS the written set
      and nothing warns. This is the #2334 over-warning invariant and the
      #3697 under-warning invariant asserted as one statement, over
      generated IDs rather than hand-picked ones. It generalises #3697-4b:
      a prefix beginning with a word operator (`TORANGE-05`) is an ID, and
      P1 covers that class rather than the single example.
  P2  completeness — a same-prefix pair with an interior between them,
      separated by any of the nine spaced operators, ALWAYS warns.
  P3  the #2334 invariant — an ADJACENT pair around a separator can drop
      nothing, so it stays silent however it is annotated.
  P4  totality + idempotency — total over arbitrary strings, deterministic,
      and the formatter agrees with the analysis on whether there is
      anything to say (a warn with no text, or text with no warn, is a
      channel that can go silent or noisy on its own).
  P5  containment — every selected ID is ID-shaped and appears verbatim in
      the input.

Honest scoping, since a property test is easy to overclaim: P1, P3, P4 and
P5 hold against the round-2 code as well as this one — they are regression
guards, not bug-finders, and their value is that the invariants are now
stated and generatively checked rather than implied by examples. P2 is the
one that would have failed before the dash enumeration was completed.

fast-check v4 removed `fc.stringOf`, so the ID-prefix tail is built from
`fc.array(...).map(join)` with the alphabet pinned to the selector's own
`[A-Z0-9]` class.

These live in tests/phase.test.cjs rather than a new
`phase.property.test.cjs`: `lint-test-file-count` caps a production module
at 2 test files and phase.cts is already at its allowlisted entry, so a new
file would trade one gate for another.

* docs(#3697): document the ROADMAP Requirements-line grammar

Round-3 review Minor 5 — the change adds net-new user-visible warning output
for a grammar constraint documented nowhere under docs/. `type: Fixed` is
docs-exempt so this does not block, but a warning about a rule the reader
cannot look up is not actionable, and that is worth fixing whether or not a
gate demands it.

Added as a subsection of `phase complete` in docs/CLI-TOOLS.md, beside the
existing SUMMARY artifact-check advisory it is a sibling of: the supported
comma-list form, why ranges are deliberately not expanded, that `TBD` and
`None` are the entire placeholder vocabulary, and what each of the two
warning voices means — including that the range/annotation one may be
reporting a line that is already correct.

Existing file rather than a new one, deliberately: docs/ carries generated
indexes and zh-CN / ja-JP trees, and a new top-level page invites a parity
or index gate this change has no reason to touch.

* fix(#3697): rule-scope the warning-channel discriminator

Self-found at the round's pre-push review, against the Major 3 fix two
commits back. That fix chose the channel from a LINE-GLOBAL question — "was
any ID-shaped token left unselected?" — while the rules that produce the
warning are not line-global. The two disagree as soon as the line carries an
ID-shaped token no rule fired on:

  `RANGE-01, RANGE-02 — RANGE-05 deferred per (ADR-7)`

`(ADR-7)` survives the selector's bracket strip, so the global test called it
a drop and sent the line to the assertive channel — putting the false "could
not be parsed ... rewrite the line" claim back on a correct line. That is
review finding Major 3 returning through a side door, and it directly
contradicts #3697-4, which pins a parenthetical citation as NOT unparsed
residue.

The discriminator is now rule-scoped: R2 is the only ambiguous rule, so the
ambiguous channel requires that R2 fired, that no other rule did, and that
every endpoint R2 fired on was actually selected. The last conjunct is not
redundant — the detector shaves brackets and the selector does not, so R2 can
fire on a `(RANGE-02)` that was never selected, and that IS a drop:

  `RANGE-01 (RANGE-02) — RANGE-05`   -> assertive, correctly

`droppedIdShaped` is replaced by `spacedRangePairs` (R2's hits, so the
channel can ask about the endpoints the rule fired on) and the
`rangeReadingOnly` verdict.

Reversion control: against the line-global rule, #3697-9b fails. #3697-9c
passes under both rules — there the dropped token IS the R2 endpoint, so the
two agree; it is a regression guard, not a bug-finder, and is recorded as
such rather than counted as a second control.

* fix(#3697): hold every dash to the strict range shape, not just ASCII

Self-found at the round's pre-push review, and it CORRECTS a claim made two
commits back. That commit widened the range-operator set by five Unicode
dashes and asserted they "carry none of the ASCII hyphen's collision risk,
because they are not the REQ-ID separator". That reasoning was wrong. The
collision is a property of the SHAPE — `PREFIX-\d+ <dash> \d+` is also a date
(`FY-2026-08`) and a sub-numbered ID (`API-2-01`) — and the shape does not
care which dash sits in the operator slot, because the ID's own separator is
still ASCII either side of it. Measured:

  RANGE-01 (target FY-2026-08)   silent   <- pinned by #3697-4
  RANGE-01 (target FY-2026‐08)   WARNED   <- same line, U+2010

So the widening reintroduced the #2334 over-warning class on a date
annotation. It also exposed that the inconsistency PREDATES this PR: U+2013
and U+2014 were already in the loose arm at ce71dd399, so the en- and em-dash
forms of that same date annotation warned before round 3 ever ran.

One rule for every dash: a tight range spelled with any of the eight must
carry a FULL ID on both sides, exactly as the bare hyphen already had to.
`..`, `…` and the word operators stay loose — no date or sub-number reading
exists between two numbers, so the strict shape would cost them coverage for
nothing.

The cost is a false negative, and it is one the design already accepts:
`RANGE-01, RANGE-02-05` is silent today, deliberately, and now
`RANGE-01, RANGE-02–05` is too. That removes an inconsistency rather than
opening a gap, and a bare `RANGE-02–05` still warns — it selects nothing, so
R3 catches it.

Tests: #3697-13 (date annotation AND sub-numbered ID silent for all eight
dashes), #3697-13b (full-ID tight range still warns for all eight),
#3697-13c (loose operators keep their numeric endpoint), #3697-13d (the
accepted false negative is symmetric, and the bare zero-selection line still
warns).

* fix(#3697): close the round's own pre-push review findings

An adversarial cross-AI review of this round refuted 4 of its 10 claims. All
four were real. Every fix below is to code THIS round introduced.

1. THE SOFT VOICE CLAIMED TOO MUCH (refuted CLAIM 1).
   `REQ-01, (REQ-02), REQ-03 — REQ-05` took the range-reading voice and told
   the author "the line is already correct and nothing needs to change" — while
   `(REQ-02)` had been dropped by the selector, which does not strip
   parentheses.

   The channel choice is still right, and deliberately so: `(ADR-7)` and
   `(REQ-02)` are the SAME shape, so routing on "was anything unselected?" puts
   the false "could not be parsed" claim back on a line carrying a citation —
   the misroute fixed two commits ago. No rule can adjudicate this; the author
   can. So the voice stops asserting the line is correct (it now speaks about
   the SEPARATOR, which is all it has evidence about), and BOTH voices gained a
   factual clause naming ID-shaped text the selector skipped, with the reason
   (brackets are not stripped) and no verdict attached.

2. THE CAP SILENCED A LINE THAT USED TO WARN (refuted CLAIM 2).
   A 2049-char range token warned before this round and went silent after it:
   the "uniform cap" commit bounded the predicate and, with it, the warning.
   That is #3697's own defect, introduced by the fix for a nit.

   The cap bounds the WORK, not the warning. An over-cap token carrying `-` is
   now recorded as unclassified (a linear `includes`, never the unanchored
   regex the cap exists to keep off it) and gets its own voice: "could not be
   checked ... the REQ-ID selection on this line is unverified". Unclassified
   is reported, never treated as clean.

3. THE CAP WAS NOT UNIFORM (review MISSED finding).
   R2 capped the operator token but not its neighbours, so
   `<2049-char ID> .. <2049-char ID>` still ran REQ_ID_SHAPE_RE and BigInt over
   both endpoints unbounded. The glued rule had the same hole. Every
   participant is capped now.

4. PROPERTY P5 WAS VACUOUS (refuted CLAIM 5).
   It drew from a bare `fc.string()`, which over 500 samples produced max
   length 10 and ZERO inputs containing a REQ-ID — the loop body never executed
   an assertion. A containment property that never contains anything is a green
   test measuring nothing. The generator now interleaves real IDs with noise
   and the property ASSERTS it saw them (>50/500), so it can never silently go
   vacuous again. The free-form coverage it was actually providing survives,
   honestly labelled, as #3697-P6.

   The same finding refuted this round's claim that P2 distinguishes pre-round
   behaviour: every operator P2 uses was already in the pre-round operator set.
   P2 is a regression guard, and its comment now says so.

Also: docs/CLI-TOOLS.md repeated the broken channel claim verbatim (review
MISSED finding) and is corrected with the code.

Tests: #3697-9d (soft voice names the skipped ID, never claims the line is
correct), #3697-9e (over-cap token reported as unclassified, still warns),
#3697-9f (R2 and the glued rule cap their neighbours). #3697-B1/B2 now key the
boundary on the PREDICATE's verdict with `warn` asserted true at every length —
asserting `warn === false` at limit+1 was itself finding 2.

* docs(#3697): describe the third voice and the dash rule

Follow-on to the review-findings commit: that commit corrected the docs' claim
about the soft voice but left two things the code now does undescribed.

- There are THREE voices, not two. The over-cap voice ("could not be checked
  ... unverified") arrived with the fix for the review's CLAIM 2 and had no
  entry.
- Dash spellings require a full ID on both sides, and `..` / `…` / the word
  operators do not. That asymmetry is deliberate and load-bearing —
  `PREFIX-<digits><dash><digits>` is date- and sub-number-shaped — so a reader
  hitting `REQ-01-05` and getting silence has no way to find out why. The
  accepted cost (`REQ-01, REQ-02-05` unreported, bare `REQ-02-05` still
  reported) is stated rather than left to be discovered.

Documentation only; no behaviour change.

* fix(#3697): close the continuation review's findings

A continuation of the same adversarial reviewer, run against the reworked
round, refuted 6 of 7 claims. Four were real defects in this round's own work
and are fixed here; the other two are answered rather than changed, below.

1. THE SKIPPED-TEXT CLAUSE WAS ON ONE VOICE, NOT BOTH (refuted CLAIM A).
   The previous commit's message said both voices gained it. Only the soft
   return appended it. The assertive voice now carries it too — and, because
   that voice already names range tokens and inert residue under its own
   clauses, the note is filtered to what those did not already name. A warning
   that says the same token twice is one readers learn to skim.

2. THE CLAUSE'S WORDING WAS FALSE (also CLAIM A).
   It read "brackets and parentheses are not stripped". Square brackets ARE
   stripped by the selector — `[REQ-01, REQ-02]` is the documented form — so
   only parentheses qualify. Corrected in the message and in docs/CLI-TOOLS.md,
   which had inherited the same error.

3. THE OVER-CAP RULE STILL SILENCED A LINE (refuted CLAIM B).
   `oversizedTokens` filtered on `includes('-')`, which misses an over-cap
   OPERATOR: `REQ-01 <2049 dots> REQ-05` warned before this round, R2 declined
   to classify it once capped, and nothing reported it. That is the exact
   regression the field was added to close, one input over. Any token past the
   cap now counts — what it contains is irrelevant when we could not read it.

4. AND THEN OVER-REPORTED ONE (review MISSED finding).
   With (3) in place, a 2049-character CANONICAL REQ-ID was selected by the
   uncapped, fully-anchored selector AND flagged "REQ-ID selection on this line
   is unverified" — a contradiction inside one warning. A token the selector
   took was examined end to end, so it is excluded.

Two findings are answered, not changed:

  CLAIM C — the selector's own `REQ_ID_SHAPE_RE.test` is uncapped. True, and
  deliberate: this round does not touch what gets MARKED, and the pattern is
  anchored at both ends with no nested quantifier, so it is linear. The claim
  that "all predicate paths are capped" was too broad; the DETECTOR's are.

  CLAIM E — `REQ-01, REQ-02<dash>05` is silent for every dash. That is the
  documented, deliberate cost of holding dashes to the strict shape, and it is
  symmetric with ASCII, which behaved that way before this PR. The reviewer is
  right that "without losing a range spelling that should be detected" was too
  strong; a bare `REQ-02<dash>05` still warns.

Tests: #3697-9g (clause on the assertive voice, no repetition, bracket claim
true), #3697-9h (over-cap operator does not silence the line), #3697-9i (a
selected over-cap ID is never called unverified). #3697-9f is rebuilt — its
first version used the SAME id twice, so R2 could not have fired even uncapped
and it proved nothing; it now uses endpoints with a gap and fails when the
neighbour cap is removed.

Reversion control: all four fixes fail a named test when reverted in isolation
(#3697-9h, #3697-9i, #3697-9g, #3697-9f).

* fix(#3697): scope the over-cap exemption to what could actually pair

A second continuation of the same reviewer, against the reworked round,
confirmed the two claims that matter most and refuted three. This closes the
one real defect; the other two are answered below.

CLAIM J / CLAIM K (one defect, found from both directions). The previous
commit exempted EVERY selector-accepted token from `oversizedTokens`, on the
reasoning that the selector is uncapped and anchored so it examined the whole
token. True of that token's SELECTION — and not the same as "no rule was
suppressed by it". Two over-cap valid IDs either side of `..` are both
selected, so both were exempted, and R2 is capped: a line that warned before
this round went silent.

That is the third appearance of one class in this round — the cap suppresses a
check, and the suppression is not reported. Each fix for it over-corrected in
the opposite direction, which is why the rule is now stated in terms of what
was actually suppressed rather than in terms of the token: an over-cap token is
exempt only when it was selected AND nothing beside it could have paired with
it into a range (no range operator, no glued fragment, no second over-cap
token). Everything else is unexaminable and says so.

Two findings are answered, not changed:

  CLAIM M — the reviewer demonstrated, with driven evidence, a contextual rule
  that catches `REQ-01, REQ-02-05` while leaving `FY-2026-08` and `API-2-01`
  silent: recognise `PREFIX-a<dash>b` only when another SELECTED id on the line
  shares that prefix. That refutes this round's claim that the strict-dash
  trade was FORCED, and the claim is withdrawn — it is a design choice. The
  choice stands for this PR: the conservative rule is what ASCII already did
  before #3697, adopting a new contextual heuristic unreviewed at the end of a
  round is how the last three defects in this round were made, and #3697 asks
  for a warning rather than better range inference. Named here so the
  alternative is on the record rather than lost.

  Docs MISSED — CLI-TOOLS said every token over 2,048 characters "is not
  classified at all" and warns. Selection is not bounded; only range detection
  is. Corrected.

Confirmed by the same pass, and worth recording because they are the PR's
load-bearing promises: a 20,000-input comparison of the pre-extraction selector
against HEAD found `mismatches=0` (nothing about which REQ-IDs are MARKED has
changed), and the uncapped selector regex was measured linear from 100k to 800k
characters.

Tests: #3697-9f now asserts the range case is reported rather than silent, and
#3697-9j pins the exemption's scope in both directions. Reversion control:
restoring the blanket exemption fails both.

* fix(#3697): warn on zero selection, as the acceptance criterion asks

`Deferred`, `N/A`, `Pending`, `TBA` and `-` selected no REQ-IDs and stayed
SILENT, while three shipped artifacts said they warned: `docs/CLI-TOOLS.md`,
the `placeholderLed` census comment, and the advice string the command emits
to the user. The asymmetry was the tell — `Deferred (see ADR-7)` warned,
because the citation supplied the ID-shaped residue R3 required, while bare
`Deferred` did not. The claim was written into three places and never
executed once.

This is also #3697's AC-1b/AC-4 verbatim: "warn when `citedReqIds.length ===
0` while the raw capture is non-empty and not `TBD`".

R3b keys on the SELECTION being empty, never on what the prose means, so it
adds no free-text heuristic. It is deliberately not gated on ID-shaped
residue the way R3 is, and the negative space is what settles that: all
fifteen #2334/#2339 fixtures are held silent by non-zero selection or by
`placeholderLed`, and not one of them by the ID-shape gate — measured, not
argued. The gate was buying no negative space while costing the acceptance
criterion.

`tokens.length > 0` keeps an empty line and a comment-only line silent: the
tokenizer strips `<!-- ... -->` before splitting, so the shipped template's
own comment cannot reach the rule.

Selection behavior is unchanged. This warns; it never invents an ID.

Also extracts `warn` to a named const (round 3 review Minor 3) — this commit
adds a disjunct to exactly that predicate, and in the return literal a later
reordering would be a TDZ ReferenceError rather than a reader-visible error.

Tests: #3697-14 (six zero-selection lines warn and tick nothing, and the
warning names the TBD/None escape), #3697-14b (five placeholder spellings
stay whole-channel silent), #3697-14c (comment-only line stays silent).
Fail-first controls: all six #3697-14 cases fail against the pre-fix tree;
-14b and -14c pass at both ends, which is correct — they pin silence the
widening must preserve.

* fix(#3697): name the REQ-ID a glued delimiter dropped

`RANGE-01; RANGE-02` selects only RANGE-02 and marks only RANGE-02, with
`requirements_updated: true` — #3697's own half-success failure mode, reached
by one wrong delimiter, and silent before this rule. It is the issue's AC-1a
("a warning whenever the line contains ID-shaped content that the tokenizer
did NOT select") at the shape most likely to be typed by accident.

Round 4 review rated this Major rather than Blocker on the ground that the
case is indistinguishable from a parenthesised citation, since `(ADR-7)` also
shaves down to a bare ID. At the RAW token level it is distinguishable, and
that is what makes the rule shippable: `REQ-01;` is shaved of a trailing
DELIMITER, `ADR-7)` of a citation wrapper. R4 keys on that shave class and
requires the token to sit outside any parenthetical.

Measured before implementing: 0 false positives and 0 false negatives across
21 probes, including all fifteen #2334/#2339 negative-space fixtures. A first
cut without the parenthetical test scored 3 false positives — every one of
them a colon inside a citation (`(see ADR-7: section 3)`) — which is why that
test is the rule's boundary rather than an optimisation.

Adds the delimiter census the module did not have. The range-operator domain
was already censused; the comma-substitute domain was not. Swept 26
spellings: exactly two produce a silent under-selection, `; ` and `: `. Every
other spelling either selects both IDs or selects none and already warns. The
review hand-listed the semicolon; the colon is the sibling that sweep found,
and it fails identically.

`rangeReadingOnly` now excludes an R4 hit — the ambiguous voice claims nothing
was dropped, and must not speak for a line where something demonstrably was.

Tests: #3697-15 (four delimiter shapes warn, name EVERY dropped ID, and tick
exactly the unchanged selection), #3697-15b (three citation forms stay
whole-channel silent). Fail-first control: all four #3697-15 cases fail
against the previous commit's tree; -15b passes at both ends, pinning the
boundary the widening must not cross.

* fix(#3697): give the Requirements-line warning a stable machine kind

The warning's kind existed only in the prose of its message, so every consumer
and every test had to regex an English sentence — and rewording a message
silently un-asserted the tests that pinned it. Round 4 review Major 3.

The repo already had the settled seam for exactly these semantics.
`CONTEXT.md` records `diffLiveConfig` emitting `kind:'unverified'` for a
truncated scan, which is precisely this module's third voice; and
`WAVE_CLEANUP_WARNING` in `src/worktree-safety.cts` carries codes for the same
reason. ADR-3473 Decision 3 ("failure is a value") points the same way.

`formatRequirementsLineWarning` now returns `{ code, message }` instead of a
bare string, which also settles round 4 Nit 3 — `null` still means CLEAN, a
legitimate value, but the success arm is no longer a naked string one field
away from the shape the ADR standardises on.

The kind is carried ALONGSIDE the prose, never instead of it. `warnings[]` is
a documented `string[]` in `phase complete`'s JSON output, rendered by
execute-phase.md's "If has_warnings is true" step, so re-typing its elements
would be a breaking output-contract change for a shipped command. The code is
emitted as its own additive `requirements_line_warning` field, absent
entirely when the line is clean.

Vocabulary, exported so tests key on it rather than on string literals:
`req-line-misparse`, `req-line-range-reading`, `req-line-unverified`.

Tests: channel ROUTING in #3697-9/-9b/-9c/-9d/-9e/-9g/-10 now asserts the code;
message-content assertions stay where the user-visible wording is itself under
test. #3697-16 pins the code end-to-end through the CLI's JSON for four line
shapes and asserts warnings[] is still a string[]; #3697-16b pins that a clean
line emits no kind at all, because a field present on every run carries no
information. #3697-P4 holds kind-and-message-appear-together and
kind-is-in-the-declared-vocabulary over arbitrary input, so a channel added
later cannot ship without one.

* test(#3697): pin the divergence against the second parser of the same line

CLAUDE.md, KNOWN DEFECTS & ANTI-PATTERNS: "Generative Fix Divergence: when
sharing constants/arrays/parsers between parallel surfaces, add a parity
assertion test that fails if they diverge." Round 4 review Major 2.

`normalizePhaseReqIds` (src/gap-checker.cts) parses the SAME ROADMAP
`**Requirements:**` value — its own docblock says callers "may pass the
roadmap value through verbatim" — and diverges on four axes. Measured, not
inferred:

  line                                    phase complete      gap-checker
  RANGE-01..RANGE-05                      []                  5 IDs
  None (per ADR-7)                        []                  ["ADR-7"]
  (REQ-02)                                []                  ["REQ-02"]
  REQ-01a                                 []                  ["REQ-01a"]
  REQ-01, REQ-02                          both                both

This pins the divergence rather than removing it, which is the review's
second option and the correct one here: unifying the two would change what
`phase complete` MARKS, and "the ledger-writing set is byte-identical to base"
is the one invariant this PR holds fixed. Every axis is now asserted in BOTH
directions, so drift on either side fails here instead of widening silently.

The range axis is a DELIBERATE disagreement and is labelled as such — #3697
declines range expansion in terms ("I am not asking for range syntax to be
supported") while gap analysis adopted it under #1269.

The placeholder axis is the one worth reading twice: `None (per ADR-7)` is a
declared-empty line to `phase complete`, which reads the lead token, and a
one-requirement line to gap-checker, which strips parentheses first so the
citation survives its ID-shape filter. That is a citation being reported as a
requirement.

#3697-17b states the cost concretely: one line, five requirements in scope to
gap analysis and zero to phase complete. This PR is what makes that
contradiction visible, by finally giving the silent side a voice.

* fix(#3697): stop the skipped-text rider reporting a date, and close the 4b channel gap

Two round 4 review minors, both about a warning saying something it cannot
support.

MINOR 2 — false rider content. `REQ_ID_SUBSTRING_RE` is unanchored, so
`FY-2026-08` matches as `FY-2026` and lands in `unselectedIdShaped`.
`REQ_RANGE_TOKEN_RE`'s entire strict-dash arm exists to keep that shape
silent, and #3697-4 pins `RANGE-01 (target FY-2026-08)` as producing no
warning at all — but whenever some OTHER rule fired on a line that also
carried a date annotation, the rider told the author to "check whether any of
it is a requirement" about a date. Not a false warning, since the line was
warning anyway; false CONTENT, in the #2334 voice, through the side door.

Filtered at the MESSAGE rather than in the analysis: `unselectedIdShaped`
stays a faithful record of what the selector skipped — it is documented as a
fact that never routes — while the user-facing clause declines to assert
requirement-ness about a shape the design already ruled unadjudicable.
#3697-18b is the other half, so the filter cannot become a silencer: a
genuinely dropped REQ-ID is still named.

MINOR 1 — `#3697-4b` asserted only that the ASSERTIVE channel stayed silent,
so a regression routing `RANGE-01, TORANGE-05` into the AMBIGUOUS channel
would have passed. Whole-channel silence is not available on that fixture (the
pre-existing ghost-ID warning legitimately fires on the unregistered
`TORANGE-05`), so the precise assertion is that no Requirements-line warning
of ANY kind was emitted. The machine code added earlier in this round is what
makes that statable; before it, "both channels" could only have meant a second
prose regex.

* docs(#3697): record the Requirements-line seam in CONTEXT.md

CLAUDE.md names the CONTEXT.md glossary as a PR gate, and
`get_cochange_context(src/phase.cts, 45d)` ranks CONTEXT.md 4th at 25
co-changes — above src/init.cts and src/roadmap.cts. This PR introduced a
named seam, three warning kinds, a bound, a rule taxonomy and a deliberate
cross-parser divergence, and recorded none of it. Round 4 review Major 4.

The precedent is explicit rather than inferred: the directly analogous seam
is already there as `LIVE-CONFIG.GUARD.SEAM.truncation`, including its bound
and its boundary obligation — and that entry is the one this module's third
voice was modelled on.

Eight predicates, in the machine-oriented section beside it:

  .module                    the two exported functions and the code vocabulary
  .selector-identity         citedReqIds is byte-identical to base and is the
                             only thing reaching the ledger — a change to what
                             phase.complete MARKS is outside this contract
  .rules                     R1 / R2 / R2' / R3 / R3b / R4 / over-cap
  .kinds                     the three codes, and why they ride beside
                             warnings[] rather than inside it
  .cap                       2048, neighbours included, and the boundary rule
  .placeholder               the gate that actually holds the negative space
  .census-domains            both open domains with their NOT-reached members
  .gap-checker-divergence    the four axes, pinned not unified

The changeset type is `Fixed`, which exempts this PR from the docs/
co-change requirement — but the glossary gate is separate from that
exemption, and the 2048 cap in particular is a machine-canon-shaped fact
that until now existed only inside a source comment.

`docs/CONTEXT-INDEX.json` regenerated (269 predicates); lint:generated-sync
confirms all six targets in sync.

* docs(#3697): document what the command now does, in one changeset sentence

DOCS. The grammar section predated this round's two new rules, so it
under-described the behaviour it exists to make lookup-able:

- The placeholder paragraph enumerated three words; the rule is a DEFAULT.
  Any wording that selects no REQ-IDs warns, and the placeholders are matched
  as the LEAD token, so `None (per ADR-7)` and `**None**` are declared-empty
  too. The comment-only line is called out, because "any other wording" would
  otherwise read as covering the shipped template's own `<!-- ... -->`.
- The comma rule was implicit. `REQ-01; REQ-02` marks only REQ-02, and it is
  the quietest way to lose a requirement on this line — `requirements_updated`
  reads `true` either way — so it gets its own paragraph, with the
  parenthetical exemption stated beside it.
- The machine kind is documented where a consumer would look for it, with the
  instruction to key on the kind rather than the wording.
- The skipped-text note no longer implies it reports date shapes; it
  deliberately does not, and silently omitting that left the doc promising the
  behaviour this round removed.

CHANGESET (round 4 review Minor 4). CONTRIBUTING.md's format is
`**<Bold user-visible change>** — <symptom-led explanation>.` and both
canonical examples are one sentence; this fragment ran three. Now one, and
covering what the round actually delivers rather than only the range shape it
started from.

* test(#3697): keep phase.test.cjs off the docs-guard exemption fingerprint

A comment added earlier in this round named `docs/CLI-TOOLS.md` by path. The
docs-guard exemption ratchet (#3753 FIX 3) fingerprints literal `docs/`
references in exempt test files and fails when a new one appears, so that
comment turned four green gates red — `ci-docs-guard-registry` and the
registration lint — for a file that reads no documentation at all.

Caught by diffing the full suite's failing-name set against the same suite run
at `upstream/next` in a probe worktree: 33 of 37 failures reproduce at base
(install / config-home / shadowing tests under the sandbox HOME), and exactly
these 4 did not.

Rephrased rather than baselined. Adding the path to
DOCS_GUARD_EXEMPT_DOCS_PATHS is the sanctioned response when a test genuinely
starts READING a new docs path — the violation text asks the author to
re-confirm the exemption still holds. Nothing here reads documentation; the
guard matched prose. Baselining would have recorded a coupling that does not
exist and made the next reader wonder what phase.test.cjs does with
CLI-TOOLS.md. The comment still names where the contract is written, just
without planting a path string.

* fix(#3697): close four defects this round's own pre-push review drove

An adversarial cross-AI review of this round, run before the push, returned 6
CONFIRMED and 4 REFUTED. Every refutation was driven against the built tree,
and every one was a shape the author had not probed — the rules were correct
across the probe set and wrong just outside it.

(1) R4 FALSE POSITIVE, and it is the #2334 over-warning class arriving through
the rule added to close a different hole. `REQ-01, see ADR-7: section 3` fired:
`ADR-7:` is the same shave class as `REQ-01;`, and the parenthetical test does
not reach a BARE citation. The FP probe that scored this rule 0/0 only ever
tested the parenthesised form.

Fixed by requiring the dropped id's prefix to agree with a SELECTED id — the
module's own idiom, not a new heuristic: `reqEndpointsImplyInterior` already
demands an agreeing prefix for the same reason. Cost, stated in the census: a
dropped id whose prefix is on no selected id (`REQ-01, FOO-02: x`) stays
silent. Same trade the strict-dash rule takes — under-report a rare shape
rather than over-report a common one. Pinned as a declared blind spot by

(2) R4 FALSE NEGATIVE, on the DOCUMENTED form. `[REQ-01; REQ-02]` dropped
REQ-01 silently: the selector strips square brackets and R4's raw scanner did
not. The bracket spelling the shipped template recommends was the one shape the
rule could not see.

(3) The rider filter suppressed a REGISTERED requirement. `API-2-01` is a legal
requirement id — gap-checker's `parseRequirements` accepts it from
REQUIREMENTS.md — so a `\d+-\d+` filter hid a genuinely dropped requirement
behind a rule meant only to hide dates. Narrowed to a four-digit year segment.
The earlier #3697-18 case asserting `API-2-01` should be suppressed is REMOVED,
and the removal is recorded in place: its premise was refuted, it was not
inconvenient.

(4) An INVISIBLE line warned. A lone U+200B carried a token to the parser while
reading as empty to the author, so R3b fired with nothing on screen to explain
it. Zero-width and format characters are now stripped — stripped rather than
treated as delimiters, because splitting on one would fabricate two fragments
out of one ID.

Also corrects the documentation the same review found overstated: the line is
split on commas AND whitespace, and the ID shape is matched case-insensitively,
so `REQ-01 REQ-02` and `req-01, req-02` both select and neither warns. That was
pre-existing selector behaviour; this round is the one that asserted the docs
were true of it.

Tests: #3697-19 (four invisible-only shapes), -19b (embedded zero-width is
stripped, not split on), -19c (three citation forms), -19d (both bracket
spellings), -19e (both halves of the rider boundary), -19f (the declared blind
spot), -19g (the two documented tolerances). 500 tests in phase.test.cjs, 0
failures; lint:ci clean.

* fix(#3697): generalise the drop rule, and stop the invisible fix hiding a drop

The pre-push review's continuation refuted six of seven follow-up claims. The
first one is the one that mattered: the invisible-character fix committed in
c7dce173a INTRODUCED #3697's own defect. Stripping zero-width characters from
the detector wholesale made `REQ-01<ZWSP>, REQ-02` go SILENT — the selector
really does drop REQ-01, and the strip removed the only evidence of it. The
test written alongside asserted the tokens and the empty R4 result and never
asserted `warn`, so it DOCUMENTED the bug rather than catching it; that
omission was the reviewer's own MISSED finding.

An invisible is two different questions about one character, and the fix is to
stop conflating them: absence-of-content for the empty test, DECORATION on a
token for the drop rule. Neither is a reason to delete it from the line.

R4 is generalised accordingly, because the continuation drove four more shapes
a trailing-delimiter-only regex could not see — `REQ-01 ;REQ-02`,
`REQ-01 :REQ-02`, `**REQ-01;** REQ-02`, the backticked form — plus
`**REQ-01**, REQ-02`, where emphasis alone defeats the selector. These are one
class: decoration on a token the selector then cannot take. One rule, not four
patches; patching them individually is how a list stays short and wrong.

PARENTHESES ARE NOT DECORATION, and the suite caught me learning that: shaving
them made `REQ-01, (REQ-02), REQ-03 — REQ-05` report a glued delimiter that was
never there and broke #3697-9d's channel routing with it. A parenthesis is this
rule's citation marker.

The rider stops adjudicating an undecidable shape. `API-2-01` is a legal
requirement id and `API-2026-08` is too, while `FY-26-08` and `FY-2026-08-15`
are dates — no regex separates them, and both filters this round tried scored a
miss in each direction. It now NAMES the token and states the ambiguity, which
is the same thing the two warning voices already do about a range separator.
Filtering hides a real dropped requirement; reporting it bare asks the author
whether a date is a requirement; saying "this may equally be a date" does
neither.

The census and the docs are corrected to what the code does, including the part
that is NOT complete: the prefix gate does not stop a citation that SHARES a
selected prefix (`ADR-01, see ADR-7: sec 3` fires), and nothing at token level
separates that from a real drop. A prose heuristic on "see" is the free-text
detector this module exists to avoid, so the honest move is to say so.

CLAIM 17 — the invariant that actually matters — came back CONFIRMED on a
20,000-run fast-check property over arbitrary Unicode: `citedReqIds` is
identical to upstream/next's for every input, and marking is untouched.

513 tests in phase.test.cjs, 0 failures; lint:ci clean.

* fix(#3697): gate the drop rule on evidence, and stop an unmatched paren swallowing the line

Third pass of the round's own pre-push review, scoped to regression-hunting
rather than further polish. Three findings, all driven, all mine.

R4 OVER-WARNED on markdown styling. `REQ-01, see **REQ-7** for context` claimed
a dropped requirement: the previous cut treated any shaved decoration as
evidence, and emphasis is not evidence. Nothing separates that line from
`**REQ-01**, REQ-02` meaning to list one, so the rule now requires a positive
signal — a glued `;`/`:` (a list separator was INTENDED) or an invisible (the
token is CORRUPTED; nobody types one on purpose). Emphasis alone falls back to
the skipped-text rider, which names the id without asserting a drop, exactly as
`(REQ-02)` is handled. That is the #2334 class caught one cut before shipping.

R4 UNDER-WARNED on `**REQ-01**; REQ-02` — one shave pass cannot reach a wrapper
sitting behind a delimiter. Shaves to a stable point now.

The range OPERATOR lost its invisibles handling. `REQ-01 <ZWSP>..<ZWSP> REQ-05`
went silent, because the previous commit removed the invisible strip from BOTH
the tokenizer and R4 when only R4's was wrong. An invisible is two questions
about one character: for the classification rules it is noise and is stripped
from the token; for the drop rule it is the evidence and must survive on the
raw line. Stripping in both places hid a dropped id; stripping in neither hid a
range. The reviewer's MISSED finding named the missing control — regression
tests covered invisibles inside ids and not beside operators — and #3697-19i is
that control.

UNBALANCED PARENTHESES swallowed the line. `REQ-01, (note REQ-02; REQ-03`
reported nothing: a running-depth counter left the unclosed `(` open through
end-of-line, so every genuine drop after it inherited citation immunity. A
parenthesis confers that immunity only as part of a MATCHED span now — an
unmatched one is a typo, not a citation.

CLAIM 22 re-confirmed on a fresh 20,000-run property over arbitrary Unicode:
`citedReqIds` identical to upstream/next, marking untouched, warnings appended.

522 tests in phase.test.cjs, 0 failures; lint:ci rc=0; full suite carries zero
head-only failures against a probe worktree at upstream/next.

* fix(#3697): make delimiter ADJACENCY the rule, and delete matched citations outright

Fourth and final pass of the round's own pre-push review. Three findings, and
they shared one root cause, so this is a narrower rule rather than a longer list
of shapes.

TOKEN-WIDE PAREN IMMUNITY LEAKED. `REQ-01, REQ-02;(note) REQ-03` is a single
whitespace token, so a matched parenthetical inside it conferred immunity on the
`REQ-02;` sitting OUTSIDE the parens, and the drop went silent. Matched spans
are now deleted from the line outright — which states what is actually meant,
that for this rule a citation is not on the line — and an UNMATCHED paren is a
typo that confers nothing. That also retires the running-depth counter whose
previous bug was the mirror image: an unclosed `(` swallowing the rest of the
line.

DECORATION WAS TESTED TOKEN-WIDE, so `REQ-01, see **REQ-7**; next topic` was
reported as a dropped requirement. It is a citation with sentence punctuation.
The rule is now ADJACENCY: styling is stripped, then the `;`/`:` must be
touching the id. `REQ-01;`, `;REQ-02` and `**REQ-01;**` qualify;
`**REQ-01**;` does not, because outside the styling that character is
punctuation. An invisible needs no adjacency test — nobody types one on
purpose, so anywhere in the token it is corruption rather than intent.

`**REQ-01**; REQ-02` therefore goes silent, and the test row asserting
otherwise is inverted rather than deleted quietly: it was added one commit ago
on the reasoning this pass refuted, and nothing distinguishes it from
`see **REQ-7**; next topic`.

Worth recording plainly: three successive cuts of this rule fired on a
citation, and each fix was a narrower definition of EVIDENCE, never a longer
list of shapes. The list-lengthening instinct is what produced the bug each
time.

The review's last MISSED finding named the missing control — the paren tests
all surrounded matched spans with whitespace, so none covered a span sharing a
token with an id outside it. #3697-19j carries both directions now.

526 tests in phase.test.cjs, 0 failures; lint:ci rc=0; full suite zero
head-only failures against a probe at upstream/next; the invariant that
`citedReqIds` is identical to upstream re-confirmed on 20,000 arbitrary
Unicode inputs.

* fix(#3697): state R4's real boundary, and stop the over-cap voice masking a drop

Two defects, both found by this round's own pre-publication body claim-audit.

1. A DEMONSTRATED drop was discarded by the unverified voice. On
   `REQ-01, REQ-02: <2049 chars>` the analyzer names REQ-02 in
   delimiterDroppedIds and the formatter then reported `req-line-unverified`,
   whose message never mentions it — the one actionable finding masked by the
   token beside it. The over-cap channel now excludes a line carrying an R4
   hit, exactly as rangeReadingOnly already did and for the same reason: that
   voice's whole claim is that nothing could be checked, and R4 has already
   checked something. The assertive channel still carries the over-cap rider,
   so nothing about the cap is traded away. Pinned by #3697-19l, which fails
   against the pre-fix build and nothing else does.

2. Three shipped artifacts asserted behaviour the code does not have — the
   same class as this PR's round-4 blocker, re-committed. CONTEXT.md's rules
   predicate, the CLI tools reference, and the warning's own advice string all
   listed markdown emphasis as an R4 trigger. It is not: styling is shaved
   BEFORE the test and tolerated around an id, never a trigger on its own, so
   `**REQ-01**, REQ-02` and `**REQ-01**; REQ-02` are both silent. The trigger
   is exactly a glued `;`/`:` or an embedded invisible.

   The census predicate was wrong in a second way. Its 26-spelling separator
   sweep found only `;` and `:` because the sweep was SYMMETRIC-ONLY and
   therefore biased: one-sided attachment drops silently for every punctuation
   outside the set — `/ | & + . > \` and the full-width and non-ASCII forms
   `; , ؛` all measured silent. The domain is wide open and R4 covers two
   characters of it. Said plainly in all three places rather than widened
   here: every previous widening of this rule first fired on a citation, so it
   is not done blind at the end of a round.

Both blind spots are now PINNED as tests (#3697-19m styling-only, #3697-19n
one-sided separators) so the documents and the code cannot drift apart again —
which is what the round-4 blocker asked for.

tests/phase.test.cjs: 542 tests, 542 pass, 0 fail, 0 skip. lint:ci rc=0.
Both CONTEXT-INDEX consumers regenerated.

* fix(#3697): re-sweep the separator census properly, and say what it really found

The round-4 census in src/phase.cts concluded "exactly two — `; ` and `: `"
from a 26-spelling sweep. That conclusion was forced by how the sweep was
built, not by the code: it swept the ONE-SIDED form (`REQ-01; REQ-02`) for the
semicolon and colon, and only the BARE and SYMMETRIC forms (`|`, ` | `) for
every other separator. Different members of the domain were tested in
different shapes, so no other answer was reachable. Caught by this round's
pre-publication claim-audit of the response comment, reading the census
comment against its own swept list.

Re-swept fully crossed and driven through the built artifact: 21 separators x
{bare, trailing-space, leading-space, both-spaces} = 84 combinations. 26 select
both ids, 24 under-select and already warn, and 34 UNDER-SELECT SILENTLY. All
34 are one shape — a separator glued to exactly one of the two ids, e.g.
`REQ-01/ REQ-02` or `REQ-01 /REQ-02` — for every punctuation except `,` and
the `;`/`:` that R4 covers.

So R4 covers TWO CHARACTERS of a wide-open domain. That is now what the census
comment, the CONTEXT.md census-domains predicate and the CLI tools reference
all say. The set is deliberately not widened here: three successive cuts of
this rule fired on a citation, and a fourth at the end of a round with no
adversarial pass is how each of those got in.

Second false passage in the same block: styling-only decoration was described
as "left to the skipped-text rider, which names the id". A rider only exists
inside a message, and a message only exists once some rule sets `warn` — so on
a line where nothing else fires, `REQ-01, **REQ-02**` is wholly silent.
Describing it as handled reads as coverage. #3697-19m already pins the silence.

so the test matches the documented claim.

tests/phase.test.cjs: 552 tests, 552 pass, 0 fail, 0 skip. lint:ci rc=0.
Both CONTEXT-INDEX consumers regenerated.

* chore(#3697): regenerate both CONTEXT-INDEX.json after rebasing onto next

Rebased onto next @ f4fefb0be. The two generated indexes conflicted on the
replay and were resolved by regenerating, not by hand-merging:
`npm run gen:context-index` for docs/CONTEXT-INDEX.json and
`node examples/dynamic-context-management/gen-context-index.cjs --write` for
the example's copy. Against next, each now differs only in the eight
PHASE.REQ-LINE.SEAM.* predicates this PR adds (plus the PHASE class and the
count); every base-side change (the SEAM.* predicates, the ADR-3942 value
rewrites) is carried. `lint-example-parser-parity` and
`gen-context-index --check` both pass.

* fix(#3697): an over-cap token outranks the ambiguous range voice

Round 7 review, Minor 1. `rangeReadingOnly`'s guard conjunction checked
`hasGluedRangeFragment`, `inertIdShaped` and `delimiterDroppedIds` but not
`oversizedTokens`, so a line carrying a clean, fully-selected spaced range
*and* an unrelated token past the 2048-char scan cap was coded
`req-line-range-reading` — a code CONTEXT.md's PHASE.REQ-LINE.SEAM.kinds
predicate documents as "nothing was dropped" — over a token no rule (R1-R4
all skip over-cap tokens) had ever examined. Since the PR tells machine
consumers to branch on `.code` rather than parse prose, that is a false
"nothing to verify further" signal.

The review's suggested fix was to add `oversizedTokens.length === 0` to the
conjunction. That clause is right and is here, but on its own it routes the
line to the ASSERTIVE channel: `req-line-misparse`, whose message says the
line "could not be parsed as a comma-separated REQ-ID list" on a line where
every ID present was in fact selected. That is the #2334 over-warning class
this module's own channel-selection docblock exists to prevent — a false-clean
code traded for a false-assertion one. So the correct destination is
`req-line-unverified`: the line was not CHECKED, which is not the same as
clean, and nothing on it demonstrably failed to parse either.

Both non-assertive voices were carrying their own inline copy of the same
"nothing was demonstrably dropped" conjunction, and that duplication is what
let them drift: `rangeReadingOnly` omitted the cap, while the over-cap channel
excluded a spaced range wholesale via `!hasSpacedRange`. Extract it once as
`nothingDemonstrablyDropped` and have both read it. The new predicate is a
strict superset of the old `!hasSpacedRange` guard — `spacedRangePairs.every()`
is vacuously true when no spaced range fired — so the over-cap channel's
behaviour on every line without a spaced range is unchanged, and R2 firing on
an endpoint the selector did not take still routes to the assertive channel.

Exactly one input class changes routing: a clean fully-selected spaced range
beside an unexamined over-cap token, which moves from `req-line-range-reading`
to `req-line-unverified`. Pinned by `#3697-19n` (the twin of `#3697-19l` on
the other side of the boundary — there a demonstrated drop outranks the
unverified voice, here the cap outranks the ambiguous one), with `#3697-19o`
as the negative control asserting a clean range with nothing over the cap is
still a range reading.

* docs(#3697): state the warning-code precedence, and what the cap condition actually is

Two surfaces, one point. The round 7 finding cited CONTEXT.md's
PHASE.REQ-LINE.SEAM.kinds predicate as the documentation of what
`req-line-range-reading` claims, and it was right to: that predicate said "R2
alone fired on selected endpoints; nothing was dropped" with no mention of the
scan cap, describing a line the code could not distinguish from one carrying a
token it never examined.

The range reading is the weakest of the three claims and yields to the other
two: a demonstrated drop makes the line a misparse, and a token the cap left
unclassified makes it unverified. `docs/CLI-TOOLS.md` gains that sentence; the
CONTEXT.md predicate gains it plus two precision points that this round's own
pre-push adversarial review extracted over three passes, each with a driven
counterexample I reproduced before acting on it:

  * "nothing was dropped" overstates the rule. The discriminator is RULE-scoped
    by design (round 3, Major 3), so that a parenthesised ID-shaped token does
    not re-open the #2334 over-warning class — `(REQ-02)` is indistinguishable
    from `(ADR-7)` at token level and is carried by the skipped-text rider, never
    by this code. `REQ-01, (REQ-02), REQ-03 - REQ-05` selects three, names REQ-02
    as skipped, and is still a range reading. The predicate now says "no rule
    named a dropped ID", which is what the code tests.

  * The deferral condition is `oversizedTokens` being non-empty, NOT the presence
    of a token past the cap. Those differ: a long token the selector itself took
    can be exempt, because selection is uncapped and anchored and such a token
    was therefore examined. `RANGE-01 - RANGE-05, R-<2047 sevens>` yields
    `oversizedTokens=[]` and stays a range reading. Two earlier attempts to
    characterise WHEN the exemption applies were both refuted — the neighbour
    test admits any non-short neighbour, not just a range operator — so the
    predicate now states the condition and defers the exemption's own rule to
    SEAM.cap rather than paraphrasing it a third time.

Verified after the edit: deferral holds if and only if the cap left a token
unclassified, across all three counterexamples plus controls, and an exempt
selector-taken long token is exhibited. No behaviour change — predicate text,
one CLI-reference paragraph, and the two regenerated indexes. Predicate count
unchanged at 285 across 22 classes, 0 duplicate ids; lint-example-parser-parity
and both `--check` generators pass.

* test(#3697): rename the round 7 regression pair — 19n was already taken

Self-found immediately after the push, before anything was published to the
review thread. The two tests added this round were named `#3697-19n` and
`#3697-19o`, and `#3697-19n` was already in use: it is the declared-blind-spot
case for one-sided separators in both attachment directions, generated inside a
loop with a computed label, which is why a grep for a literal `test('#3697-19n'`
did not find it. The PR body's own *Declared blind spots* list already refers to
`#3697-19n` with that meaning.

Nothing failed. Duplicate test names do not error, and the suite stayed green at
567/567 — which is the argument for fixing it rather than against. Two concrete
costs: any TAP name-set differential collapses same-named tests under `sort -u`,
so one of the two becomes invisible to exactly the did-not-run and pass->fail
checks that name-set comparison exists to perform; and a reviewer reading
"#3697-19n" in the body now gets a different test than the one the body means.

Renamed to `#3697-19p` (over-cap beside a clean range) and `#3697-19q` (its
negative control), the next free ids in the series; the pre-existing `#3697-19n`
is untouched at its original 4 occurrences. Cross-references inside the renamed
block were updated with them. Negative control re-run under the new ids: 19p
still fails against pre-fix source and passes after, 19q passes at both ends.

900504f985 fix(#3776): decide nothing-to-commit from the staged diff, not from staging success (#3859)
* fix(#3776): decide nothing-to-commit from the staged diff, not from staging success

`cmdCommit`'s empty-diff guard tested `stagedPaths.length === 0`, but
`stagedPaths` records paths whose `git add` exited 0 — "did staging
succeed", not "is there anything to commit". Staging an already-committed,
unmodified file succeeds while contributing no diff, so the guard was
reachable only when every named path was missing from disk.

The ordinary empty-diff case therefore fell through to `git commit`, where
the only thing converting the failure back to `nothing_to_commit` was a
string match on git's output. Git runs the pre-commit hook before it
decides there is nothing to commit, so a rejecting hook pre-empted that
match and the caller was handed `commit_failed` carrying a gate message
about a commit that had nothing to gate.

Ask git whether the staged paths actually differ instead. Two conjuncts
are load-bearing: the `length === 0` short-circuit keeps the
all-missing-paths case exact (a pathspec-less `diff --cached` would test
the whole index, so unrelated staged work would suppress the guard), and
`!isMergeInProgress` keeps a merge from being abandoned — during a merge
git refuses a partial commit, so the pathspec describes nothing about what
would land.

Nine regression cases in tests/commands.test.cjs cover the brief's six
acceptance criteria plus the merge interaction. Against the pre-fix build
exactly one fails; the other eight pin behaviour that was already correct.

Residual sibling of #2608/#2693, which covered `git add` failing; this
covers `git add` succeeding and contributing nothing.

* fix(#3776): exempt a cherry-pick too, but never a revert

The empty-diff guard must not decide from a pathspec git will not honour.
That test was merge-only; git refuses a partial commit during a cherry-pick
for the same reason, so the guard would have fired there and reported a
silent `nothing_to_commit` where the pre-fix code surfaced git's refusal.

The three sequencer states do not agree, so this is driven rather than
reasoned by analogy (git 2.54):

  MERGE_HEAD        fatal: cannot do a partial commit during a merge.
  CHERRY_PICK_HEAD  fatal: cannot do a partial commit during a cherry-pick.
  REVERT_HEAD       permitted; behaves like an ordinary commit.

REVERT_HEAD is therefore deliberately excluded: enumerating it alongside the
other two — the obvious move — would suppress this fix during a revert and
reintroduce the very misreport it removes. Both new states are pinned by a
test, and the revert arm fails against the pre-fix build exactly as AC1 does.

`canScope` keeps its narrower merge-only test on purpose; widening it would
change pre-existing cherry-pick behaviour, which is outside this fix.

* fix(#3776): probe the working tree, not the index

`git commit -- <paths>` is a PARTIAL commit: it records the working-tree
content of those paths and ignores what is staged. The guard was probing
`git diff --cached` — the index — which answers a different question than
the commit asks.

Driven on the same path, in this order: `git add` an unmodified file, then
write to it, then probe.

  git diff --cached --quiet -- p   rc 0   ("nothing staged")
  git diff --quiet HEAD -- p       rc 1   ("the tree differs")
  git commit -m m -- p             committed the new content

So a working-tree write landing between the `git add` above and the probe —
another process in a shared checkout, which this project explicitly supports
— would let the guard report `nothing_to_commit` for a call that would have
recorded that content. Probing `HEAD` asks the question the commit answers.

Not reachable through this function single-threaded, because the staging
loop re-adds every named path immediately beforehand, so index and working
tree agree at the probe. The change is correctness by construction rather
than a fix for an observed miscommit.

An unborn HEAD makes `diff HEAD` fatal; that falls through to the commit as
any other probe error does, and is now pinned by a test — the first commit
in a repo must not be swallowed by an empty-diff guard.

Both added probes are now gated on the guard being able to fire at all, so
an unscoped commit and an `--amend` pay for neither.

Found by adversarial pre-filing review; the index/worktree distinction was
not something my own path-shape probes could have surfaced.

* test(#3776): pin the assume-unchanged boundary; correct a stale comment

`git update-index --assume-unchanged` makes `git add` stage nothing and makes
BOTH diff forms — `--cached` and `HEAD` — report no difference, so no
diff-based guard can see a change to such a path. `git commit -- <path>` is
the odd one out: it reads the working tree directly and records it.

So a modified assume-unchanged path now reports `nothing_to_commit` where it
previously committed. That is the answer consistent with this function's own
staging step, which honoured the flag one loop earlier — but it is a
behaviour change, and it belongs on the record as a decision rather than
surfacing later as a surprise.

Also corrects an AC3 comment still describing the `diff --cached` whole-index
form that the previous commit replaced.

* chore(#3776): set changeset fragment pr to 3859

The fragment carries the PR's own number, which is unknowable before the PR
exists. Backfilled post-create; the repo's changeset lint rejects the `pr: 0`
placeholder.

* fix(#3776): do not read an unanswered sequencer probe as "no merge"

`execGit` surfaces a spawn timeout as `exitCode: 1` (`_spawnResult`:
`result.status ?? 1`) — the same code `rev-parse --verify` returns for a ref
that does not exist. So the MERGE_HEAD and CHERRY_PICK_HEAD probes could not
tell "not in that state" from "never answered", and the empty-diff guard read
both as "not in that state". That is the one path in #3776 that did not fail
toward the previous behaviour: a timeout during a real merge decided
`nothing_to_commit` from a pathspec git will not honour and left the merge
unconcluded, where before it was a loud `commit_failed`.

Treat an unanswered probe as "assume the partial commit would be refused" —
which falls through to `git commit` and lets git speak for itself.

Routed into `partialCommitRefused` only, deliberately never into
`isMergeInProgress`. That flag also feeds the pre-existing `canScope`, and
widening it there is worse than the misreport it fixes: with `canScope` false
the commit runs bare, and a bare commit during a merge is PERMITTED — git
concludes the merge with the whole index under a message naming one file.
Driven: the whole-flag form reports `committed` where this form reports
`commit_failed`, and it drops the pathspec on the ordinary timeout, re-opening
the #2112 scope leak.

* fix(#3776): pin the empty-diff probe against diff-only configuration

`git diff` is porcelain and honours settings `git commit -- <paths>` does not,
so an unpinned probe let a caller's configuration decide whether the guard
fires. Driven against git 2.54, each with the paired `git commit -- <path>`
confirmed to record the change the unpinned probe reported as absent:

  diff.ignoreSubmodules=all      a gitlink bump is invisible to the probe
  .gitmodules  ignore = all      the same, and it needs NO local config at
                                 all — it is checked in, so it arrives with
                                 a clone
  diff=<driver> + textconv       two different blobs converge to one text,
                                 so the probe sees no change; no submodule
                                 involved

`--ignore-submodules=dirty` rather than `=none`, because `dirty` is what a
partial commit of a submodule path actually means: it records the gitlink,
which moves only when the submodule's HEAD does. Under `=none` a merely dirty
submodule work tree reports a difference the commit would not record, sending
an empty call back to `git commit` — the same misreport, re-entered from the
other side. `dirty` still overrides both `diff.ignoreSubmodules` and a
checked-in `.gitmodules` `ignore`, so the gitlink vectors stay closed.

`--no-ext-diff` is deliberately absent: `--quiet` short-circuits ahead of an
external diff driver, so `diff.<driver>.command` cannot invert the probe
(driven: rc 1 with and without the flag).

* docs(#3776): disclose the two outcome changes the changeset omitted

The body listed what stays unchanged and never named the arms whose
user-visible outcome moves, so neither would have reached the changelog:

  - a modified path under `git update-index --assume-unchanged` now reports
    `nothing_to_commit` where it was previously committed. `git add` already
    honoured the flag one loop earlier; the guard reports what staging did.
    Documented in a code comment and pinned by a test since the first round,
    but absent from the fragment.
  - naming a submodule whose work tree is dirty while its recorded commit has
    not moved now reports `nothing_to_commit` rather than `commit_failed`,
    because nothing would have landed. New in this round, from the
    `--ignore-submodules=dirty` pin.

* test(#3776): use helpers.cleanup() for the submodule fixture teardown

`local/no-raw-rmsync-in-tests` rejects a bare `fs.rmSync` in a test: the
helper carries the Windows-EBUSY retry budget (`maxRetries`/`retryDelay`)
that a raw call does not, and a submodule work tree is exactly the shape
that holds handles open on Windows.

Caught by CI, not locally — the round ran the two affected suites but not
`npm run lint:ci`, so the repo's own rule never fired until the push. The
chain now exits 0 locally against this tree.

* fix(#3776): never drop a named assume-unchanged path

`--assume-unchanged` is the one state where `git diff` and
`git commit -- <paths>` genuinely disagree: `git add` stages nothing,
both diff forms report no difference, and `git commit -- <path>` still
reads the working tree and records it. The empty-diff guard therefore
reported `nothing_to_commit` about content the caller named in `--files`
and git would have written.

commit is made — so suppressing its misreport must not be paid for by a
silent drop. Same rule the timeout routing already follows: a fix for a
misreport may not cost content.

The guard now asks `git commit --dry-run --porcelain` whether the commit
would record anything, and stands aside on rc 0. That is the same
decision the real commit makes, so there is no second implementation of
it to drift. It does not run the `pre-commit` hook (driven: a rejecting
one neither fires nor writes a marker), which is what matters — a firing
`pre-commit` is the whole of #3776. It is NOT hook-free in general: git
2.54 fires `post-index-change` here, so a repo using that hook sees it
once for the probe and once for the commit. Stated rather than claimed
away.

Asking git rather than reconstructing its answer was reached by
measurement. Comparing `git hash-object` against `HEAD:<path>` was tried
and is wrong three ways, each a silent drop of named content: it misses a
mode-only change (`chmod +x` leaves the blob identical while the commit
records `100755`); it cannot hash a submodule path at all (`fatal: Unable
to hash sub`, while the commit advances the gitlink); and the path it
needs must be parsed out of `ls-files` output, which `core.quotePath`
renders as `"caf\303\251.md"` by default. Each has its own arm, and the
non-ASCII arm pins `core.quotePath` so it cannot go vacuous.

Falling through on the `ls-files` tag alone — without asking whether
anything would land — is also wrong: an UNMODIFIED assume-unchanged path
would reach `git commit`, which with any unrelated modified file present
prints `no changes added to commit`, a string the fallback does not
match, and returns `commit_failed`. That is #3776 re-entered from the
other side, the same shape `--ignore-submodules=none` would have
re-entered it. Pinned by its own arm.

The `ls-files` read is an optimisation, not a gate: it keeps the dry run
off the hot path when no assume-unchanged entry is present, and when it
cannot answer the dry run simply runs, because the dry run needs nothing
from it. Failing closed there would drop content and failing open would
re-enter #3776 — both are wrong answers to a question that can be asked
directly.

`--skip-worktree` is not a second instance. A present, modified one exits
1 from `git add` and fails closed as `staging_failed` above the guard; an
absent one is skipped before `git add` runs (#2014) and is answered by
the `stagedPaths.length === 0` arm, exactly as it was pre-fix. Both
shapes pinned, because the shorter claim ("never reaches the guard") is
too strong.

* test(#3776): register fixture teardown so a failed assertion cannot leak

`bumpedSubmodule()` creates its sub-repo as a SIBLING of `tmpDir`, and
the unborn-HEAD arm creates `fresh` outside it too, so the describe's
`afterEach(() => cleanup(tmpDir))` reaches neither. Both were cleaned by
a trailing statement in the test body, which any failing assertion above
it skips — leaking a git repo into the temp root.

`bumpedSubmodule()` now records the path and a describe-scoped
`afterEach` drains it, which covers all three of its callers at once;
the unborn-HEAD arm takes `t.after`, the form already used elsewhere in
this file.

Negative-controlled both ways with a deliberate assertion failure
injected into the dirty-submodule arm, under an overridden TMPDIR:
before, one `*-sub` repo survives the run; after, none.

* fix(#3776): never read an unanswered dry-run probe as "nothing to record"

The `git commit --dry-run --porcelain` probe that decides the assume-unchanged
boundary is the one probe in the guard whose rc 0 is the reassuring answer, so
it inverts the diff probe's safety: `execGit` collapses a spawn timeout (or any
spawn error) to `exitCode: 1`, byte-identical to git's own "nothing to record",
and the guard then reported `nothing_to_commit` about content named in
`--files` that git was never asked to write. Same conflation the sequencer
probes already defend against.

Only a CONFIRMED rc 1 with no spawn error closes the path now; a timeout, a
spawn error, or rc 128 falls toward the real commit, where git speaks for
itself. Five arms in tests/commit-files-pathspec.test.cjs pin it (posix +
windows timeout shapes, rc 128, the ls-files optimisation's own timeout, and a
negative control on an unmodified path); the injection helper gains an optional
`matchArg` so the dry run can be targeted without intercepting the real commit.

Also corrects the comment that claimed both sequencer probes are gated on
`guardApplies` — the MERGE_HEAD probe predates this fix and is unconditional.

* fix(#3776): probe with --no-verify so a hook-firing git cannot close the guard

Round 4, review finding 3 (Minor). The `git commit --dry-run --porcelain`
probe's safety rested on an empirical claim about one git version: that
`--dry-run` does not run `pre-commit`. git 2.54 satisfies it, but the failure a
differing version would produce is silent and lands in exactly #3776's own
configuration.

A `pre-commit` that fires and rejects exits 1 — the same code git returns for
"nothing to record" — so the closure would read it as a CONFIRMED empty answer,
drop the content the caller named in `--files`, and report `nothing_to_commit`.
That is #3776 re-entered through the probe the fix added.

`--no-verify` forecloses it structurally rather than documenting the version
dependency. Driven on git 2.54: rc-identical in both directions (rc 0
would-record, rc 1 nothing) with and without the flag, so it is behaviour-
neutral where the version already agrees.

Two claims deliberately NOT widened: `--no-verify` does not suppress
`post-index-change`, which still fires on this call with or without it (driven
both ways); and the real `git commit` is untouched — #3776 is a bug about a
hook's message reaching the caller wrongly, never a licence to skip hooks.

The new arm pins the FLAG rather than an outcome, because the outcome it
protects is unobservable on a git that already declines to run the hook. It is
a seam assertion over the argv the guard actually issued, not a source grep.

* test(#3776): pin all-missing --files during a merge or cherry-pick

Round 4, review finding 1 (Major) and finding 7 (Nit, its coverage half). The
review asks for the `stagedPaths.length === 0` disjunct to be gated on
`!partialCommitRefused`, or for the combination to be documented and tested.
Documented and tested — the gating is refused, with cause.

The premise is confirmed: the state is reachable exactly as described, and
during a merge the `nothing_to_commit` report does not tell the caller the merge
is still open. The prescription is not. With every named path missing,
`stagedPaths` is empty, so `canScope` is false and the fall-through reaches a
BARE `git commit`, which git PERMITS during a merge and which then CONCLUDES it.

Driven, git 2.54, through cmdCommit with the prescription applied:

  cmdCommit(cwd, 'add the thing', ['.planning/never-produced.md'])
  -> { "committed": true, "hash": "8e6bf45", "reason": "committed" }
     MERGE_HEAD gone; HEAD is a 2-parent merge commit recording
     .planning/shared.md with the caller's resolution content.

So the gating trades a report that writes nothing for one that silently writes
the whole index under a message naming a path that does not exist, and reports
success. That is the same trade the timeout routing already refuses one block
up, which is why the sequencer states gate the DIFF branch only.

The behaviour is also pre-existing and unchanged by this PR: at 86452da7 the
identical short-circuit sat ABOVE the MERGE_HEAD probe, so it never consulted
the sequencer either. The residual — a merge held open behind a
`nothing_to_commit` report — is offered as a separate issue alongside the three
already deferred, not folded into this fix.

These are behaviour pins, not regression tests: they pass at base and red on the
gated implementation (both arms, verified).

* docs(#3776): state the git-version provenance once, not at three claims

Round 4, review finding 6 (Nit). The guard carries ~159 comment lines around 32
lines of executable logic, and the review's specific complaint is that "driven
against git 2.54" is repeated near-verbatim in three places, which makes the
decision tree harder to scan.

Hoists the provenance to a single block header and reduces the three repeats to
the observation each actually carries. One claim keeps its version explicitly
and now says why: the `--no-verify` reasoning is version-SENSITIVE rather than
merely version-observed, so it is the one place the version is load-bearing
instead of incidental.

The behavioural matrix stays inline rather than moving to an ADR or a doc block.
Every claim in it is a constraint on the four flags immediately below it, and the
value of having it here is that the next reader who wants to "simplify" one of
those flags meets the driven counter-example in the same screen. Splitting the
constraint from the code it constrains is how the flags get dropped.

Comments only. No behaviour change; suite and lint:ci unchanged.

* docs(#3776): correct two driven figures in the new guard commentary

Both found by this round's own pre-push adversarial review, and both re-driven
before adopting.

1. The empty-paths rationale said a bare commit during a merge produces a
   "three-parent commit". It produces a TWO-parent merge commit. Three was the
   token count of `git rev-list --parents -n1 HEAD` (commit + two parents) read
   as a parent count. `git cat-file -p HEAD | grep -c '^parent '` returns 2.
   This round's commit message for the pins already said two, so the tree
   contradicted itself.

2. The `post-index-change` disclosure said a repo using that hook "sees it once
   for the probe and once for the commit". Driven with a counting hook: git
   fires it TWICE per `git commit --dry-run`, and twice again for the real
   commit — 2/2/2 across the flagged probe, the unflagged probe and the real
   commit. The disclosure understated the cost by half in both halves.

Comments only. No behaviour change; suite 351/351 and lint:ci unchanged.

80d2236ca5 fix(#4112): drop redundant $(( subshell wrapping in pause-work.md Context Detection (#4140)
* test(#4112): add failing-first regression coverage for pause-work.md Context Detection

Extracts and executes the shipped Context Detection bash block to prove the
$(( arithmetic-context misparse (SC1102/SC1106/SC2205) as a hard syntax
error, plus boundary/independence coverage for the phase/spike/sketch/
deliberation resolution the fix must preserve.

* test(#4112): fix false-green regression test — assert dash/sh failure, not bash -n

The prior version asserted bash -n syntax validity and wrapped bash -c
execution, neither of which detects this bug: bash/zsh silently fall back to
a working command-substitution reading of the ambiguous $(( construct, and
bash -n never evaluates arithmetic-context content at parse time. A gsd-test
run against the still-broken file passed 41594/41594 with this test in
place — a false green. POSIX sh/dash does not implement that fallback and
throws a real "Syntax error: Missing '))'", which is what this version
asserts against.

* fix(#4112): remove leaked tool-call tags corrupting the regression test file

A subagent's Write introduced trailing </content>/</invoke> markup at the
end of tests/pause-work-context-detection.test.cjs. gsd-test's own
tests/portability-rule-disable-ban.test.cjs (which parses every test file)
correctly caught this as a parse error. Strips the garbage lines; no
behavioral change.

* fix(#4112): drop redundant $(( subshell wrapping in pause-work.md Context Detection

phase=/spike=/sketch= opened with $((, which POSIX sh/dash parses as
arithmetic expansion and rejects (Syntax error: Missing '))') since the
enclosed text isn't valid arithmetic. bash/zsh silently retry it as command
substitution, which masked the defect there. Dropping the inner grouping
parens (matching the deliberation= line already in the same block) makes
the construct valid under bash, zsh, and dash alike, with identical
fallback-to-empty-string behavior when nothing matches.

Once the surrounding syntax parses, ShellCheck can now also analyze the
inner ls -lt calls it previously couldn't see past the parse failure,
newly surfacing the same pre-existing SC2012 ("use find instead of ls")
suggestion already baselined for the file's other ls usage. Baseline
updated to reflect the true current count; no ls-vs-find behavior change
made, as that is a separate, pre-existing, out-of-scope question.

* fix(#4112): verify shell discrimination instead of trusting the binary name

Code review finding: falling back from dash to sh could silently produce a
non-discriminating test on a host where /bin/sh is bash-compatible (e.g.
macOS) — such a shell never throws on the broken construct either, so the
test would pass whether the bug were present or not. resolvePosixShell now
verifies the candidate actually rejects a known-ambiguous $(( snippet
before using it, and skips with an explicit reason when none does. The
gsd-test Linux bench (dash as /bin/sh) is unaffected either way.

* fix(#4112): route regression test through process-seam, splitLines, cleanup

npm run lint:ci flagged 7 violations gsd-test's node:test run doesn't check:
local/no-adhoc-markdown-parsing (single fence-spanning regex),
local/no-crlf-fragile-split (bare \n split), local/no-unbounded-spawn (x4,
hand-rolled execFileSync with no timeout), and local/no-raw-rmsync-in-tests.
Rewrites the test to route every subprocess call through
tests/helpers/process-seam.cjs's runHook() (bounded by construction),
tests/helpers.cjs's cleanup() for temp-dir removal, and a line-by-line fence
scan using the text-lines.cts splitLines() seam, matching this repo's
established extraction idiom (tests/no-hardcoded-home-gsd-tools.test.cjs).
No behavioral change to what is asserted.

The `### 8.5.1 Outline Phase` resume-detection `if` block only contained a
comment in its `then` clause, which is a syntax error under both bash and
zsh if executed literally. The workflow ShellCheck lint added by #4109
already flags this (SC1009/1048/1072/1073/2105) but the findings were
masked by matching entries in the pre-existing-findings baseline; those
five entries are removed here so a regression re-surfaces as a new

cad70f4f3e fix(#4120): replace shellcheck npm dep with dependency-free downloader (#4121)
* fix(#4120): replace shellcheck npm dep with dependency-free downloader

The `shellcheck` devDependency (added in #4109) pulled in decompress@4.2.1
for archive extraction, which carries an unpatched CRITICAL zip-slip
vulnerability (GHSA-mp2f-45pm-3cg9, CVSS 9.1) plus two moderate findings.
decompress's latest published version IS the vulnerable one -- no patched
release exists upstream, so npm audit fix cannot resolve this by upgrading.

Removes the shellcheck package entirely and replaces its role with
scripts/lib/shellcheck-fetch.cjs: a small downloader using only Node's
built-in https/zlib plus a hand-written tar-entry reader, fetching a pinned
koalaman/shellcheck release directly from GitHub releases. The reader never
uses an archive-supplied name as a filesystem path (the exact defect class
decompress had) -- it only returns the matched entry's bytes; the caller
writes those bytes to a path it constructs itself. Bounds the download with
a 30s-per-hop timeout, consistent with the ShellCheck subprocess's own
timeout. Covers linux/darwin on x86_64/aarch64, matching this repo's actual
CI (lint-tests runs only on ubuntu-latest) and local dev needs; Windows
fails with a clear, honest error rather than silently misbehaving.

Adds tests/lint-workflow-shellcheck-fetch.test.cjs covering the tar-parser
(unit cases plus a fast-check property test per CLAUDE.md's parser-testing
requirement), a security behavioral pin confirming traversal-style entry

8c9265d4e5 fix(#3724): warning-only Dimension 3b findings no longer force the revision loop (#3758)
* fix(#3724): stop advisory Dimension 3b findings from forcing the revision loop

Dimension 3b (undeclared/temporal coupling, #1954) is spec'd "never a
blocker" but tagged severity: warning — the tier plan-phase's revision
loop counts as must-fix — and the planner is never taught the rule, so
every multi-wave phase touching shared mutable state replans at least
once, and intentionally coupled plans re-flag identically every
iteration to the stall prompt.

Three coordinated changes:
- gsd-plan-checker: retag 3b to severity: info, the tier
  references/revision-loop.md already exempts by design; recognize a
  coupling_justified frontmatter declaration in the Do-NOT-flag list so
  deliberate pairs converge. Additions are offset by trimming 3b
  motivation prose — the checker sits 45 bytes under its LARGE hard cap.
- plan-phase step 12: INFO-only accept — an issues block with zero
  BLOCKER/WARNING entries accepts the plan and surfaces the advisories
  instead of re-entering the revision loop. Real blockers and warnings
  still gate unconditionally.
- gsd-planner: slim pointer in assign_waves to the new
  progressive-disclosure reference gsd-core/references/planner-coupling.md
  (the planner sits 19 chars under its own cap), which carries the
  shared-mutable-state rule and the coupling_justified escape hatch so
  first-pass plans avoid the finding when the coupling is unintentional.

Documented the coupling_justified field in docs/reference/plan-md.md.
Growth acks per #2914; inventory manifest and install-tree fixtures
regenerated for the new reference file.

Closes #3724

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM

* test(#3724): pin Dimension 3b at severity: info

The severity retag makes the old assertion (severity: warning) stale;
lock the advisory tier from both directions — info must be present,
warning must not — so a future edit cannot silently re-arm the
revision-loop trigger.

* test(#3724): cover all four acceptance criteria (review round 1)

- plan-checker-coupling: the 3b severity assertion is now a PARITY check
  deriving the exempt tier from revision-loop.md's flow instead of
  hardcoding info — editing either side alone reds the suite. New
  describe pins the other three criteria: plan-phase's INFO-only accept
  clause (proven failing-first), the BLOCKER + WARNING count staying
  intact, the coupling_justified Do-NOT-flag exemption + fix_hint, and
  the planner pointer + planner-coupling.md content.
- ack fragment: $comment's plan-phase figure corrected to +79B; the 2775
  pin note carried forward into the gsd-planner.md entry, updated for
  upstream's #3761/#3764 Rule-paragraph anchor (which this diff leaves
  verbatim).

The parallel-dependent-plans re-anchor this commit originally carried was
superseded by upstream #3764 during review; this branch no longer touches
that file.

* fix(#3724): review round 2 — align the stance enumeration, complete the template contract

MAJOR: <adversarial_stance>'s severity enumeration gains the INFO bullet so it
agrees with Dimension 3b's 'ALWAYS INFO' mandate instead of contradicting it.
Funded by extracting the inline <examples> block to the new progressive-
disclosure reference gsd-core/references/plan-checker-examples.md (@-inlined
from the same spot; #1949 precedent), which also restores the 3b motivation
clause round 1 traded away (Nit 4) and nets the agent file SMALLER than base
(49107 -> 48486) — the extraction the byte pressure was owed.

MINOR: gsd-core/templates/phase-prompt.md now carries coupling_justified, and
the field's shape becomes one 'plan-id: reason' string per coupled peer so a
plan justified against two peers can express it; docs/reference/plan-md.md's
Type column names the shape.

NIT: the 3409 ack's plan-phase entry no longer calls the #1168 workflow
ratchet an 'XL tier'.

Acks and derived artifacts updated accordingly (checker entry removed — a
shrink needs no ack; INVENTORY roster row + regen:derived for the new file).

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM

* test(#3724): derive the 3b negative severity assertion (review round 2)

Every severity token in the 3b span must BE the tier revision-loop.md exempts,
replacing the hardcoded severity:warning negative — if the loop's exemption
ever moves, the failure names the real conflict instead of blaming the agent
file with a mutually-unsatisfiable pair.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM

* fix(#3724): refit the planner coupling pointer under the char cap

Upstream #3299 (PR #3390) grew agents/gsd-planner.md to 49146 chars at the
base, leaving 5 chars of headroom where the +16-char pointer was measured
against 13 more. The pointer prose shortens to 'Non-file coupling:' —
49150 chars, back under the strict 49152-char cap — and the ack figures
follow. The @-path the tests pin is unchanged.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM

* fix(#3724): re-home the plan-phase ack after the #3823 spent-fragment sweep

Upstream #3078/#3823 deleted all fully-spent ack fragments, including
3409-unreachable-guard-arms.json, which carried this PR's plan-phase.md
+79B append. Per the collision remedy that sweep added: take the deletion
and home the still-live entry in this PR's own fragment. Figures
re-measured at this merge base (90871 -> 90950 LF bytes).

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM

* fix(#3724): absorb the spent #3172 plan-phase fragment into this PR's ack

Upstream #3825 shipped 3172-stated-failing-direction.json naming only
plan-phase.md, now spent at the base — colliding with this PR's live
plan-phase entry. Per the #3003 pattern the fully-spent single-path
fragment is deleted and this fragment stays the path's one source;
figures re-measured at this base (93073 -> 93152 LF bytes).

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM

* fix(#3724): review round 3 — true up the ack figures, restore the wave comment

The fragment's absolute sizes are re-measured and anchored to base
e40e9670 (planner 47259 -> 47330 chars, checker 45537 -> 44916 B,
plan-phase 91186 -> 91265 LF bytes), with a note that absolutes rot as
next moves — the deltas are the durable claims. The round-1 removal of
the '# Implicit dependency: files_modified overlap forces a later wave.'
pseudocode comment offset headroom base drift had already returned, so
it is restored (findings 2-3). Changeset gains the (#3724) backlink
(finding 4).

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM

* fix(#3724): review round 4 — close the verify-work surface, harden the boundaries

BLOCKER: verify-work.md's verify_gap_plans is the second multi-plan
consumer of the checker's sentinels, and its ISSUES FOUND handler entered
revision_loop with zero severity parsing — the guaranteed replan #3724
fixed in plan-phase, alive on the gap-closure surface. The handler now
counts BLOCKER + WARNING and accepts INFO-only returns with advisories
displayed. The checker's INFO stance bullet is reworded to the claim that
is true everywhere ('revision gates count only BLOCKER + WARNING').

Minor 1: plan-phase's iteration_count >= 3 arm recounts severities, so an
INFO-only third check accepts instead of halting on a '0 issues remain'
user gate. Minor 2: the coupling_justified exemption now requires the
entry to NAME the other plan, closing the blanket-suppression reading.
Nit 1: INVENTORY row states the extraction buys cap headroom, not context.
Nit 2: the advisory display gains a concrete format on both surfaces.

Ack fragment re-anchored at base ddde001a: verify-work.md +264B (new
entry), plan-phase.md +395B, checker still net negative (-512B).

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM

* test(#3724): pin the verify-work accept and the iteration-cap boundary (review round 4)

Two wiring assertions: verify_gap_plans' ISSUES FOUND handler gates on
BLOCKER + WARNING and accepts INFO-only blocks, and plan-phase's
iteration_count >= 3 arm recounts severities instead of gating advisories
— the limit+1 boundary of the gate this PR fixes.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM

* fix(#3724): review round 5 — fail closed at the gates, surface the advisory

Blocker 1: the checker's step-10 status rule routes an INFO-only result to
## ISSUES FOUND (with a new ### Advisories (info) template section and a
severity-aware recommendation) so the orchestrator receives the block and
displays the advisory instead of silently accepting a bare PASSED.

Blockers 2+3: all three gate surfaces (plan-phase step 12 both arms,
verify-work verify_gap_plans) carry one canonical clause verbatim — an entry
whose severity is missing or unrecognized counts as a BLOCKER (fail closed) —
making the accept condition an explicit-INFO whitelist while keeping
issue_count coherent for stall math.

Major 1: the INFO stance bullet scopes its claim to the plan-phase and
verify-work gates (quick mode's loop still revises on any ISSUES FOUND).
Major 2: INVENTORY row and ack $comment state the extraction's real trade
(readability, +0.6 KB eager runtime context), not a cap remedy.
Minor 1: plan-md.md marks coupling_justified as prompt convention, unvalidated.
Nit 1: ack absolutes re-anchored at base 1e67ec97; checker now +120B and acked.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM

* test(#3724): pin the round-5 contract — fail-closed parity, INFO-only return shape

New: three-surface verbatim parity test for the fail-closed clause (Blockers
2+3); checker return-contract test for the INFO-only ## ISSUES FOUND route and
advisories section (Blocker 1). All seven newly pinned tokens are absent at
f3a5682d, so each new assertion fails pre-fix.

Updated: accept-clause regexes track the explicit-INFO whitelist wording;
the severity sweep scopes to the span's fenced yaml examples via
yamlSeverityTiers (round-5 Minor 3, applied to the blocker negative too);
the iteration-cap comment states it is a prose pin, not an executed boundary
check (Minor 4); splitLines call sites document the line-pin coupling (Nit 2).

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM

* fix(#3724): adopt next's line wrap in the 3b motivation clause — drops a wrap-only hunk from the diff

Byte-identical content; the wrap difference was an artifact of the round-1
base adaptation predating upstream's #3003 landing.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM

* fix(#3724): review round 7 — gate every checker consumer, not just the two audited ones

Blocker: quick/steps/plan-checker-loop.md (issue-named in #3724) gets the
same canonical fail-closed clause and explicit-INFO whitelist accept as
plan-phase/verify-work — an INFO-only result proceeds instead of entering
quick mode's revision loop.
Major: import.md plan_validate handles the checker return by severity
(INFO-only never blocks an import) and is added to agent-contracts.md's
consumer enumeration, which had omitted it.
The checker's INFO stance bullet drops the quick-mode carve-out — the claim
is universally true again now that every consuming gate is severity-aware.
Minor: an applied coupling_justified exemption is surfaced as its own info
advisory so a stale one-sided declaration stays observable.
Nit: plan-phase's revision-iteration Display line is explicitly conditioned
on not having already proceeded to step 13.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM
Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: import.md — #3724 round 7: the plan_validate step's checker-return handler becomes severity-aware — counts BLOCKER + WARNING failing closed and accepts an explicitly-INFO-only return with advisories displayed instead of blocking the import

* test(#3724): pin the round-7 surfaces — five-gate parity, quick/import accepts, exemption visibility

The verbatim fail-closed parity test extends to quick/steps/plan-checker-loop.md
and import.md plan_validate; new assertions pin quick mode's INFO-only proceed,
import's never-blocks accept, import.md's presence in agent-contracts.md's
consumer row, and the surfaced coupling_justified exemption advisory. All four
newly pinned token families are absent at the pre-fix head, so each new
assertion fails first.

e242d85c92 fix(#4109): rewrap unquoted DISPATCH_SLUGS-shaped consumption to survive zsh (#4116)
* test(#4109): add zsh regression coverage for gate-check and invoke_reviewers dispatch

Extends tests/review-plan-coverage-manifest.test.cjs to cover the two
DISPATCH_SLUGS consumption sites the existing #3301 coverage-check tests
don't reach: the write_reviews gate-check block (ALL_LANES_SKIPPED /
TOTAL_LANE_FAILURE counting) and invoke_reviewers' dispatch + join loops.
Both extract the real shipped bash from review.md and run it under bash and
zsh, same convention as the existing coverage-check rows. Expected RED under
zsh pre-fix, GREEN post-fix.

* fix(#4109): rewrap unquoted DISPATCH_SLUGS-shaped consumption to survive zsh

Bash word-splits an unquoted scalar on IFS by default; zsh does not (no
setopt SH_WORD_SPLIT anywhere in these files), so a scalar accumulated from
multiple space-separated tokens and then consumed via bare `for x in $VAR`
collapses onto one bogus iteration under zsh whenever it holds 2+ tokens.

Fixes all four review.md sites reported by #4108/#4109 (invoke_reviewers
dispatch + join loops, the gate-check block, and the #3301 coverage-check
block), plus the identical pattern found by a repo-wide sweep in
complete-milestone.md, code-review.md, pr-branch.md, sync-skills.md, and
execute-phase/steps/per-plan-worktree-gate.md. Each site is rewrapped in
unquoted command substitution (`$(printf '%s' "$VAR")`), which re-splits
identically under both shells regardless of SH_WORD_SPLIT — the same
mechanism that already made the accumulator-building loops in these files
shell-safe.

* test(#4109): warn loudly when the zsh probe fails instead of skipping silently

detectShells() drops the zsh test lane whenever a live zsh probe fails (e.g.
on a CI runner without zsh installed), and a dropped lane reads identically
to a passing one in the suite's own output — exactly the blind spot that let
#4109's bug class ship undetected. Both copies of this helper (this file and
its byte-identical duplicate in review-build-prompt-optional-sections.test.cjs)
now emit a greppable console.warn when the probe fails, so a run without zsh
reads as "zsh coverage unknown" rather than "all lanes green".

* ci(#4109): gate workflows/*.md's embedded bash blocks in lint:ci

Adds scripts/lint-workflow-shellcheck.cjs, wired into npm run lint:ci, so
this bug class can't land undetected a third time. Two independent checks
run over every ```bash block in gsd-core/workflows/**/*.md:

- ShellCheck (new `shellcheck` devDependency, downloads and caches the real
  koalaman/shellcheck binary) catches the general unquoted-expansion/
  word-splitting family in argument position. 212 pre-existing findings
  across the tree are absorbed into scripts/lint-workflow-shellcheck-baseline.json
  (matched on {file, code, message}, not line number, so unrelated edits
  elsewhere in a file can't spuriously un-baseline anything) — fixing all of
  them is out of scope for this issue; only NEW findings fail the build.
- A custom structural check specifically for #4109's own shape: ShellCheck
  does not flag a bare `for x in $VAR` word-list — it treats that as an
  intentional idiom under any ruleset (confirmed empirically). This check
  does, and gates the build on any occurrence, with zero tolerance (no
  baseline) since every known site was already swept and fixed on this
  branch.

* test(#4109): update pr-branch cherry-pick loop test anchor for the zsh fix

extractPickLoop()'s PICK_LOOP_MARKER located the create_pr_branch cherry-pick
loop by the literal substring "for HASH in $INCLUDED_COMMITS", which no
longer appears verbatim after this issue's fix rewrapped that loop in
unquoted command substitution. Updates the anchor (and its error message,
now derived from the same constant instead of duplicating stale text) to the
new literal form. No behavior change to the extraction logic itself.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: review.md — #4109's fix adds explanatory comments at 4 sites; net code is functionally equivalent, comment expansion grows the file
Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: complete-milestone.md — #4109's fix adds explanatory comments at 3 sites documenting the zsh word-splitting divergence
Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: code-review.md — #4109's fix adds an explanatory comment documenting the zsh word-splitting divergence
Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: pr-branch.md — #4109's fix adds explanatory comments at 3 sites (TRANSIENT_DIRS, INCLUDED_COMMITS, FILTER_PATHS)
Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: sync-skills.md — #4109's fix adds explanatory comments at 2 sites (CREATE_LIST/UPDATE_LIST, REMOVE_LIST)

* test(#4109): cover lint-workflow-shellcheck parsers + add timeout

Adds tests/lint-workflow-shellcheck.test.cjs covering the hand-rolled
parser/logic functions exported by scripts/lint-workflow-shellcheck.cjs
(stripCommandSubstitutions, stripShellComments, substitutePlaceholders,
extractForLoops, findBareForLoopSplits, findingKey, partitionAgainstBaseline)
that shipped with zero coverage — CLAUDE.md requires at least one fast-check
property test for parsers, included here (bare/braced forms always flagged
naming the variable; quoted/substituted/literal forms never are).

Also bounds runShellcheck's subprocess with a 60s timeout: the `shellcheck`
npm package's own API has no timeout option and internally blocks on a
synchronous spawnSync, so this reimplements the binary resolve/download step
via the package's own exported config/download and calls spawnSync directly
with a native timeout. And guards the CLI entry point with
`if (require.main === module)`, matching this repo's sibling dual-purpose
lint scripts — without it, requiring the module for its exported functions
(as the new test file does) also triggered a live ShellCheck run as a side
effect.
