092d9256b8 fix(#4748): carry a letter-suffixed phase id through the seven shell sites that aborted or truncated it (#4768)
* test(#4748): pin the letter-axis defect at the seven shell sites outside #4660's six

Extends tests/nsegment-phase-grammar.test.cjs one class over: for each of the
seven sites the live shell lines are read off disk by anchor and executed in
bash against a letter-suffixed fixture. The four `$((10#$PHASE_INT))` split
sites must yield PHASE_N without a shell error for `03A` / `12A` / `3A` /
`03A.1.2` and the commit-scope ERE they build must match both `feat(3A-01):`
and `feat(03A-1):`; the review-file lookup must bind init's `padded_phase`
rather than re-pad in shell; the `--from`/`--to`/`--only` and
plan-review-convergence extractions must return `12A` / `23A.1.2` (and
`23.1.2`) whole; the legacy normalizer must pad `3A` to `03A` and must not
mangle an already-padded `08`. Every pre-existing shape (`06`, `08.5`,
`23.1.2`, `36.14`) is a regression control.

tests/init.test.cjs asserts `init execute-phase` emits `padded_phase` for a
directory-backed `03A`, a ROADMAP-only `4B` (→ `04B`), the existing ROADMAP
fallback `1` (→ `01`), and `null` when the phase is not found.

Negative control against the unfixed tree: 41 failures in the grammar file,
exactly the "(fails before the fix)" cases and the three derived from them
(scope ERE, three-flag extraction, the `08` octal trap); 2 in init.test.cjs,
both the new assertions. Every regression control already green.

* fix(#4748): carry a letter-suffixed phase id through the seven shell sites that aborted or truncated it

The canonical phase-number grammar (src/phase-id.cts) is digits, an optional
uppercase letter, then dotted segments — `12A`, `3A`, `23A.1.2` are documented
shapes that `init`, `phase-id.cts` and `phase remove` renumbering already
round-trip. Seven shell sites in shipped workflows and references still
assumed digits-and-dots. Four classes, one fix each:

Class 1 — `PHASE_INT=${PHASE_NUMBER%%.*}; $((10#$PHASE_INT))` (execute-phase.md
×2, completion-reconciliation.md, tdd.md). The post-#4619 split stops at the
first DOT, so on `03A` the "integer" is `03A` and bash aborts with `value too
great for base`. Split at the first NON-DIGIT instead (`%%[!0-9]*`): the
integer half is a pure digit run, and the letter rides along in the rest the
way the dotted fraction already did — `03A.1.2` → PHASE_N `3A\.1\.2`, so the
#4003 zero-pad-tolerant scope ERE matches both `feat(3A-01):` and
`feat(03A-1):`. Byte-identical output for every id that worked before.

Class 2 — `PADDED=$(printf "%02d" "${PHASE_NUMBER}")` before the REVIEW.md
lookup (execute-phase.md). `printf` cannot pad a letter id (prints `03`,
exits 1) — and cannot even re-pad an already-padded `08`, which bash reads as
an invalid octal and prints as `00`, so the lookup resolved phases 08 and 09
to `00-REVIEW.md` today. The disk path hands the workflow the directory's
padded number but the ROADMAP fallback hands it the heading's bare one, which
is why the re-pad existed. `cmdInitExecutePhase` now emits `padded_phase`
through `normalizePhaseName`, exactly as the plan-phase and code-review inits
do, and the workflow binds `{padded_phase}` instead of re-deriving.

Class 3 — `grep -oE '[0-9]+\.?[0-9]*'` (autonomous.md `--from`/`--to`/`--only`,
plan-review-convergence.md). Stops at the letter, so `--from 12A` ran from
phase 12 with no error. Now the canonical ERE `[0-9]+[A-Z]?(\.[0-9]+)*`, which
also closes the single-segment dot-axis gap the same shape carried (`23.1.2`
→ `23.1`, #4568's class in a spelling neither lint saw).

Class 4 — the legacy manual normalizer (phase-argument-parsing.md, reached
from mvp-phase.md). Its two branches (`^[0-9]+$`, `^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$`) left
`12A` unpadded and never padded `3A` to the `03A` a directory carries; its
integer branch also hit the same `printf` octal trap on `08`. One branch for
the whole canonical token now, padding the digit run via `$((10#…))`.
Whether this legacy surface should instead be retired in favour of `init`'s
normalization is the maintainer call the issue names; extending it keeps the
documented contract true either way.

Driven end to end: `init execute-phase 3A` on a fixture with a
`03A-letter-variant/` directory emits `phase_number: "03A"` and now
`padded_phase: "03A"`; on a ROADMAP-only `### Phase 4B:` it emits `"4B"` /
`"04B"`. The issue's own evidence line claimed `padded_phase` was already in
the execute-phase init output — it was not; that key is emitted by the
code-review / plan-phase inits, which is where the claim was read from.

* chore(#4634): extend lint-phase-id-drift with three ratchets for letter-hostile phase-id consumers

The rules that landed with #4619, #4568 and #4660 police grammar MIRRORS —
regexes that describe a phase id. The #4748 sites are CONSUMERS of one, and
every existing rule reported clean on them: the shell-arithmetic rule's
`_INT` escape trusts a NAME the dot-only split did not earn on `03A`; the
`[0-9]+\.?[0-9]*` shape is neither the bounded form the single-segment rule
bans nor the unbounded form the letterless rule inspects; and nothing looked
at `printf "%02d"` at all. Three narrow additions, one per shape:

- findDotOnlyIntegerSplitDrift — `X_INT=${<phase-var>%%.*}`; the safe split
  is `%%[!0-9]*`. Keys on the SOURCE variable being phase-carrying.
- findLooseDottedPhaseRegexDrift — `[0-9]+\.?[0-9]*` / `\d+\.?\d*` on a
  phase-carrying line; the canonical form is `[0-9]+[A-Z]?(\.[0-9]+)*`.
  Disjoint from the two sibling regex rules by construction.
- findShellPhasePrintfPadDrift — `printf "%0Nd" …` whose arguments name a
  phase-carrying, non-`_INT` variable; a pad of an `_INT` via `$((10#…))`
  and a `{padded_phase}` binding are the sanctioned shapes.

Same `<!-- phase-id-owner: … -->` sanction, same scan roots as their nearest
sibling (shell idioms over workflows + references, the regex shape over
workflows + references + agents), same documented limit of a per-line
textual scan. The post-#4619 comment that described the `_INT` convention
as proven by `%%.*` is corrected to name the digit-run split. Confirmed
against the base commit: each rule fires on exactly its own unfixed sites
(2+1+1, 3+1, 1+1) and zero violations remain on the fixed tree.

* chore(#4748): refresh the compact-content benchmark baseline and acknowledge emitted growth

The three top-level workflow files below grew by the letter-aware split, the
canonical extraction ERE, the `{padded_phase}` binding, and the comment lines
that name the grammar each site now honours. The committed compact-content
benchmark moved with them; refreshed with `benchmark-compact-content.cjs
--write` (aggregate reduction 15.47% -> 15.45%).

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: execute-phase.md — #4748: first-non-digit PHASE_INT split at the plan-selection and TDD-gate sites, `{padded_phase}` binding at the REVIEW.md lookup, and the comments naming why (482 bytes)
Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: autonomous.md — #4748: canonical `[0-9]+[A-Z]?(\.[0-9]+)*` at the --from/--to/--only extractions plus one comment naming the grammar (249 bytes)

* fix(#4748): name padded_phase in execute-phase.md's init parse list

A `{field}` token inside a workflow bash block is substituted from the init
JSON only for fields the workflow tells the model to parse. `phase_number`
is on that list; `padded_phase` was not, so the `PADDED="{padded_phase}"`
binding at the review lookup would have been a literal — for every phase,
not only letter ones. Found by the pre-file adversarial review (claim 2, the
author's own named suspicion); the test now asserts the parse list carries
the field beside `phase_number`.

* chore(#4634): key the dot-only split rule on its source and widen the printf rule to any %d form

Two false negatives from the pre-file adversarial review of the three #4748
ratchets: `PHASE_PREFIX=${PHASE_NUMBER%%.*}` escaped the split rule because
the destination did not end in `_INT` (the defect is the split, not the
name it lands in), and `printf '%02d'` / `printf "%2d"` escaped the printf
rule because it required double quotes and the zero flag (`%d` cannot parse
a letter id under any width). Both rules now key on the phase-carrying
SOURCE alone; base-site firing counts are unchanged (2+1+1, 1+1) and the
fixed tree stays at zero. The `[[:digit:]]` spelling and the `/phase/i`
heuristic remain the sibling rules' documented limits.

* test(#4748): compose init's emitted padded_phase through the live REVIEW.md lookup

The Class 2 site is a `{padded_phase}` template token, which no test can
execute as written. This substitutes the value init emits
(`normalizePhaseName`) into the three live lookup lines and runs them
against a fixture, so the emitted value, the binding, the path construction
and the status extraction are exercised together — `03A-REVIEW.md` and
`08-REVIEW.md` each resolve to their own status. Suggested by the resumed
adversarial review pass (claim C).

* test(#4748): move the #4619 and #4003 source-parity pins to the letter-safe split

tests/execute-phase-decimal-arithmetic.test.cjs and
tests/safe-resume-gate-anchoring.test.cjs pin the four Class 1 sites'
snippet byte-for-byte, so the first-non-digit split reddened both in the
whole-suite run (scripts/ci-test-scope.cjs does not select either file for
a workflow edit — the scoped run was green). The pinned snippet is now the
shipped one, and the behavioural half of the #4619 file gains the letter
case (`03A` → `3A`, `23A.1.2` → `23A\.1\.2`) beside its decimal cases.

* chore(#4634): key the dot-only split rule on the _INT destination again, tolerating the quoted spelling

Keying on the source alone (the previous commit's widening, from a review
probe) flags `PARENT_PHASE="${PHASE_NUMBER%%.*}"` in
gap-closure-artifacts.md — a correct derivation that wants everything
before the first dot, letter included. The defect this rule polices is a
dot split INTO the name the shell-arithmetic rule trusts as an integer, so
`_INT` is the discriminator on purpose; the quoted spelling that site uses
is now tolerated so the same shape into an `_INT` cannot hide behind it.
Base-site firing unchanged (2+1+1), zero on the fixed tree, and the
parent-phase line is pinned as a silent case.

Regenerated with `node scripts/benchmark-compact-content.cjs --write` on the

Only the execute-phase split and the aggregate totals differ from next's copy.

0d6bf19bf1 fix(#4600): explicit --converge overrides the convergence feature gate (#4771)
* test(#4600): pin explicit-flag-overrides-gate precedence

* fix(#4600): explicit --converge overrides the convergence feature gate

PLAN_STRATEGY=converge is set only by an explicit --converge/--cross-ai,
so gating it on workflow.plan_review_convergence made an explicit
operator flag lose to a config default and stop the run with a
question-shaped success. The config remains the default for non-flag
invocation; the flag now wins, and the step says so instead of
gate-and-exit.

* test(#4600): pin the precedence contract sentences as written

* fix(#4600): document the flag-overrides-gate precedence on user surfaces

commands/gsd/autonomous.md and docs/COMMANDS.md still said --converge
requires workflow.plan_review_convergence=true; both now state the
override. Changeset typed Changed with the docs update alongside.

779f67cb11 fix(#4378): mint collision-free SEED-YYMMDD-xxx seed ids instead of a shared count (#4754)
* test(#4378): regression tests for collision-free seed ids

* fix(#4378): mint collision-free SEED-YYMMDD-xxx ids, not a shared count

plant-seed derived the next seed id from 'ls .planning/seeds/SEED-*.md | wc -l'.
.planning/seeds/ is shared but each worktree only sees what has merged, so two
workstreams planting before either merges computed the same id and git merged
both files silently.

The id is now the local date plus a 3-char random base36 suffix -- the shape
.planning/quick/ already uses -- computed from knowledge one worktree has alone,
with a same-day regen guard. deriveSeedIdentity learns the new canonical grammar
alongside legacy SEED-NNN (whose parsing never changes), the --enrich parser and
the filename-prefix fallback keep the full new-format id, and the docs that
state the filename shape move to it.

The prefix fallback previously truncated any non-pure-numeric id at
'SEED-<digits>' -- the same one-id-two-answers ambiguity the issue reports,
reproduced one level down.

* fix(#4378): harden seed id generation per adversarial review

- parse-idea: anchor the --enrich extractor to the flag and capture the
  complete id, uppercase-tolerant; a leftmost 'SEED-[0-9]+' truncated an
  uppercase or malformed suffix to its date and enriched an arbitrary
  same-day seed via head -1. Ambiguous and unmatched targets now fail
  closed instead.
- generate-seed-id: tolerate the expected SIGPIPE under pipefail, abort
  loudly when the suffix cannot be drawn (an empty suffix would collapse
  every seed's id to the bare date), and run the same-day regen guard as
  a find existence test (the 'ls <glob>' shape trips the #3409 drift
  guard and degenerates under a stray nullglob).
- deriveSeedIdentity: document the theoretical legacy/new grammar
  ambiguity (6-digit counter + 3-char base36 slug, no frontmatter).
- changeset: state the residual same-day collision bound instead of
  implying zero.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: plant-seed.md — the counting step became hardened date+random generation with explicit failure modes; growth is the failure handling, not duplicated logic

* fix(#4378): address standards and spec review findings

- tests: move the allow-test-rule marker to its suppression site (the
  file-header placement was inert per CONTRIBUTING site-scoping); add
  width-boundary coverage (5/7-digit dates, 2/4-char suffixes pin the
  documented branch behavior); add a writer-to-reader parity property
  that parses the mint widths out of the shipped workflow so the two
  grammar owners cannot drift; cover uppercase ids end-to-end in the
  reader.
- plant-seed.md: draw/retry restructured as one loop with a loud
  terminal failure; SEED_SUFX renamed SEED_SUFFIX; regen guard drops
  the redundant head -1; the ambiguity error no longer advises an
  impossible 'complete id' for duplicate legacy ids.
- commands.cts: refresh the cmdListSeeds comment still describing
  SEED-NNN as the only canonical form.
- changeset: drop the audit claim the spec axis showed to be an
  overstatement (audit's id display is filename-derived, pre-existing).
- remove a stray untracked artifact file swept into the tree.

* test(#4378): correct boundary expectations to the module's real branch behavior

The first matrix run on the boundary tests caught my hand-trace of the
regex branches, not a module defect: the slug regex's alternation
backtracks to the legacy branch whenever the canonical branch cannot
complete (so the slug is the remainder after the legacy numeric
prefix), and the 7-digit case fails the canonical branch at its 7th
digit before the dash. Pin the verified values.

* docs(#4378): backfill changeset PR number

* fix(#4378): audit seed identity uses the canonical grammar

Review of this PR found the audit surface publishing a fused filename
stem (SEED-081-region for SEED-081-region.md) where list-seeds reports
the canonical id -- one id, two answers across surfaces, the same
ambiguity class the issue files. scanSeeds now derives identity through
the SAME deriveSeedIdentity the list-seeds gate uses (frontmatter id,
then filename id-prefix, then stem), and audit-open acknowledge
resolves --seed-id by scanning for the derived identity, falling back
to the literal stem so callers scripted against pre-canonical output
keep working. Roll-in per the fix-inline rule: found during this PR's
review, same seed-identity seam.

RED probe: pre-fix audit published seed_id SEED-081-region-becomes /
slug 081-region-becomes for a legacy seeded file; post-fix SEED-081 /
region-becomes, matching list-seeds.

* test(#4378): probe timeout uses the class norm after windows-lane timeout

The windows conformance shard failed its bounded sh -c probes at the
local 5000ms bound (cold sh.exe spawn under shard load) while the
identical code passed this PR's two earlier windows waves. The probe
now uses PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS from the class-norm module instead of a local
override, per the helpers/timeouts.cjs convention.

* test(#4546): failing-first tests for deferred uat follow-ups

* chore(#4546): regenerate derived lists for the deferred-promotion suite

The new verify-work-deferred-promotion suite changes the tests/ tree the
macOS conformance-tier classifier tracks and is a novel file under the
verify prefix in the test-file-count ratchet; both derived lists are
regenerated/registered per their own guards' instructions.

* fix(#4546): deferred uat follow-ups no longer block, and get promoted

Two halves of one disconnect (#1921's deferral design vs the completion
predicate):

- uat-predicate: the item parser now captures the block's reason: line
  alongside result:. A skipped item whose reason carries the
  verify-work writer's 'Deferred follow-up:' template is a deliberate
  deferral -- non-blocking, flagged deferred in the report. Quote-
  tolerant (the writer wraps the value) and case-insensitive. A
  reasonless skip, a non-deferral reason, pending/blocked/issue/
  failed/missing all still block, exactly as before.
- verify-work complete_session: when the Deferred Follow-Ups section is
  non-empty, offer to promote the items to a ROADMAP.md 999.x backlog
  entry reusing next.md's prior_phase_completeness entry shape, with a
  --files-scoped commit. Offer, not auto-mutation -- matches the
  workflow's interactive convention and next.md's own prompt style.

* chore(#4546): refresh compact-content benchmark baseline

verify-work.md grew (the #4546 deferred-follow-up promotion offer in
complete_session); the registered split's token counts moved with it.
Baseline recomputed with the script's own --write.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: verify-work.md — complete_session gained the deferred-follow-up promotion offer (detection, [P]/[K] choice, the next.md-shaped 999.x entry template, and the --files-scoped ROADMAP.md commit); the growth is the new contract text, not duplication

* fix(#4546): gate/audit agreement and review fixes for deferred follow-ups

- src/uat.cts categorizeItem: a skipped item carrying the deferred
  follow-up template reason now categorizes as 'deferred' (the category
  already existed for deferred-items.md entries) instead of being
  misfiled into the blocked families by keyword match -- the gate/audit
  agreement #3078-CR expects, restored in the permissive direction the
  #1921 design intends. Checked BEFORE the keyword families so '...
  on the release build next version' is not build_needed.
- verify-work.md promotion step: numbering scans for the smallest free
  999.n (count races + non-contiguous history), one backlog entry per
  deferred follow-up, ROADMAP.md-absent behavior specified, idea text
  newline-flattened, Deferred at placeholder harmonized with next.md.
- DEFERRED_REASON_RE: trust assumption documented (authoring contract,
  not a security boundary; non-matching spellings block fail-closed).
- tests: the property now drives evaluateUatPassed and derives
  expectations from the input spec (never restates the matcher),

  the literal [P]/[K] choices.

* fix(#4546): close promotion-test docstring, drop fc replay-path misuse, refresh baseline

The final matrix run caught three defects in my own review-fix commit:
the parity test file's JSDoc was left unterminated (the whole file
parsed as one comment -- zero tests registered, hence the file-level
'test failed' the runner reported); fast-check's replay-path parameter
was misused as a label (invalid path at replay); and the workflow-text
ambiguity fixes re-drifted the compact-content benchmark baseline.

aeac47b95a fix(#4465): bound /gsd:undo commit selection to the phase directory and HEAD (#4472)
* fix(#4465): bound /gsd:undo commit selection to the phase directory and HEAD

`--phase` documented a primary path reading `.planning/.phase-manifest.json`,
but nothing in the repository writes that file, so the documented fallback was
the only reachable path:

    git log --oneline --no-merges --all | grep -E "\(0*${TARGET_PHASE}(-[0-9]+)?\):" | head -50

That selection has no milestone bound and no reachability bound, and it feeds
`git revert --no-commit`. On a project that reuses a phase number it stages
deletion of a previous milestone's files, under a confirmation gate that
displays only `{hash} — {message}` — the one field that carries no milestone
discriminator.

Port the #3995 anchor already live in code-review.md: resolve the phase's own
directory via `find-phase` (which resolves through planningDir, so it is
workstream-correct), take PHASE_START as the first commit adding anything under
it, and select over `PHASE_START^..HEAD`. Drop `--all`. Fail closed when no
anchor resolves rather than widening to a repository-wide search, and report
truncation instead of silently capping at 50.

Also resolve the dead manifest read rather than leaving documented-but-
unreachable behaviour, and hoist dependency_check onto the workstream-resolved
planning root — it read a hardcoded `.planning/ROADMAP.md` and
`.planning/phases/`, which are the wrong tree under an active workstream.

* fix(#4465): close three defects the pre-create adversarial review found

Root-commit off-by-one: `${PHASE_START}..HEAD` EXCLUDES PHASE_START, so when the
phase's first commit is the repository root the selection silently dropped it
and the undo refused legitimate work. The root branch now selects over `HEAD`.

Empty-selection exit status: `grep` exits 1 on no match, and the removed
`| head -50` had been masking that rc. Both selection pipelines now end in
`|| true` so an empty selection reaches the workflow's own Empty check instead
of aborting the block.

Truncation stop was documented for MODE=phase only; MODE=plan could still cap
silently. Both modes now carry it.

Also documents two residuals the review surfaced rather than leaving them
implicit: a revision range is ancestry and not chronology, so a pre-phase side
branch merged in after PHASE_START stays selectable; and the `--diff-filter=A`
anchor does not follow renames, so an archived phase directory under-selects
(reverts too little or refuses, never too much).

Tests: 12 assertions, negative-controlled. A-H and K-L are RED against the
pre-fix workflow; J is RED against the intermediate revision that carried the
off-by-one; I is green in both directions by design.

The emitted-attribution gate flags undo.md growing 11881 -> 17435 bytes. The
growth is the fix: a one-line `git log --all | grep` selection is replaced by
an anchored, HEAD-bounded selection for BOTH modes, each with its own
fail-closed branch and truncation stop, plus three residuals documented next to
the code they qualify rather than left implicit. A workflow document is the
executable contract, so the residuals belong in it.

* test(#4465): execute undo.md's selection fences against a git fixture

The shipped regression test matched substrings in undo.md's bash fences. A
substring cannot tell a live invocation from a dead one, and this is the
boundary/reachability defect class this repo's own conventions want driven
with limit-1/limit/limit+1 execution proof. So the fences the runtime runs —
sliced out of undo.md by content anchor, never by position — are now replayed
with `bash -c` inside createTempGitProject fixtures against the real
`gsd-tools.cjs`, the same fence-execution shape #2308 and #2352 use.

Ten executed cases: the fixture's own negative control (the retired `--all`
grep over-selects the archived milestone and a dead branch), `--phase` and
`--plan` selecting only the current milestone's HEAD-reachable instance, the
single-milestone selection unchanged, limit-1 (a matching pre-phase commit
excluded, PHASE_START itself included), the root-commit branch selecting over
`HEAD`, fail-closed on an absent phase in both --phase and --plan (empty PHASE_DIR and UNDO_RANGE), the
active workstream's phase directory winning over the root's, and
dependency_check's `planning inspect --pick generated_from.planning_root --raw`
resolving the workstream root, the project root, and the `.planning` fallback.

Skipped on win32 with the #2352 precedent's reason: the fences are POSIX bash
driven through `bash -c`; the shape half still runs there.

Negative-controlled against the pre-fix undo.md (upstream/next): 11 of 12
shape assertions red, and the executed block fails at fence extraction.

Shape test L now pins the >50 refusal message in both modes, not only its
heading — the cross-AI round review removed the paragraphs under intact
headings and L stayed green; it now fails on that mutation.

* fix(#4465): refuse an archived-milestone PHASE_DIR in both undo modes

`find-phase` searches the live `phases/` directory first, then every
`milestones/v<X.Y>-phases/` directory in ascending version order, and its
ambiguity check is scoped to one directory: the `matches.length > 1` test sits
inside `cmdFindPhase`'s per-`searchDir` loop (`src/phase.cts`). A phase number
that is not live therefore resolves silently to the OLDEST archived milestone
carrying one, with no warning.

Anchoring there is wrong in both directions at once. The oldest commit adding
that path is the archival move, so the phase's real work predates the window
and falls outside it, while the window runs forward from that archival through
every later milestone -- where the subject grep matches THEIR same-numbered
phase. Driven on a two-archived-milestone fixture, `--phase 03` selected v2.0's
`feat(03-01): add search index` and `docs(03-01): v2.0 phase plan` and excluded
v1.0's own `feat(03-01): implement auth endpoint`. On `git revert --no-commit`
that is the cross-milestone contamination this PR exists to close, recurring.

Both modes now blank PHASE_DIR on an archived resolution and refuse with their
own message, so the existing fail-closed rule stays load-bearing even if the
refusal's prose is not honored.

The "archived or renamed phase directory under-selects" residual claimed this
failure could revert "too little or refuse, never too much". That was wrong in
the direction that matters; it is rewritten to cover renames only, and the
archival case is recorded as refused rather than disclosed.

Tests: a two-archived-milestone fixture, a negative control asserting the
unguarded window selects v2.0's two commits and none of v1.0's, refusals in
both --phase and --plan, and an inertness check on a live resolution.

* docs(#4465): close the three Minor review items on undo.md and its test

Purpose line: it still advertised rolling back "using the phase manifest",
the exact `.planning/.phase-manifest.json` mechanism this PR removes. Test B
already reads the whole file, so scope is not why it missed this -- B greps the
hyphenated `phase-manifest` token, the filename, while the purpose line named
the same dead mechanism in prose. Test N pins the <purpose> block itself, which
is spelling-independent; widening B's pattern to /manifest/i instead would fire
on any future sentence that merely mentions one.

Merge-commit anchors: `git log --diff-filter=A -- "${PHASE_DIR}"` does not walk
merge diffs by default. A directory added on a side branch is still found -- the
side-branch commit that added it is in history -- so the uncovered case is
narrower than "introduced via a merge": it is a directory first appearing in the
merge RESOLUTION. The information is not absent from history, only unrequested:
`git log -m` prints that add once per parent. Recorded as a residual rather than
fixed -- the failure is a refusal, and the evil-merge fixture costs more than a
safe-direction branch is worth.

allow-test-rule marker: suppression is site-scoped, and CONTRIBUTING.md pins the
window at MAX_MARKER_LOOKAHEAD_LINES = 8 with only blanks and comments between.
The file-header marker sat 43 lines above the first `readFileSync` with requires
and a function definition in between, so it was inert for both read sites. Moved
to each site. The markers are belt-and-braces today, and NOT because the rule
ignores `RegExp.test` -- it handles `regex.test(tracked)` explicitly
(no-source-grep.cjs:239, :597-605). Neither read is tracked at all:
`looksLikeSourcePath` (:378-390) admits only .cjs/.cts/.js/.mjs/.mts/.ts and
UNDO_PATH is a .md, and the second site's reader is `readFileNormalized`, which
the rule does not recognise as `readFileSync`. They become load-bearing if
either scope widens.

* docs(#4465): disclose the same-number-and-slug residual in undo.md

The round's own cross-model body audit found this stated in the PR description
and nowhere in the deployed workflow -- which is the half that survives merge,
and the half this PR's whole argument says residuals belong in.

The anchor is the CURRENT path and `--diff-filter=A` does not follow renames, so
a later milestone that re-creates the same literal directory (`03-auth` again,
not merely phase `03` again) makes the oldest add at that path the previous
occupant's. The archived-milestone refusal added this round structurally cannot
reach it: `find-phase` returns the LIVE directory, so nothing is under
`milestones/` to refuse.

Driven -- v1.0 and v2.0 both using `.planning/phases/03-auth`, v1.0 archived in
between: PHASE_DIR resolves live, the guard correctly does not fire, the anchor
is `docs(03-01): v1 plan`, and the selection returns all four v1+v2 phase-03
commits. `code-review.md` carries the same residual on the same anchor, where it
is read-only; on `git revert --no-commit` it is not, so the note points at
`/gsd:undo --last N`.

Documented rather than fixed: following renames across a re-created path needs a
phase identity that a directory name does not carry, which is the same wall
residual 1 hits.

* fix(#4465): refuse a LIVE phase directory whose name is also archived

Self-found this round, from the cross-model audit of the previous commit: that
commit disclosed same-number-and-slug reuse as a residual and asserted closing it
needed a phase identity a directory name does not carry. The audit refuted the
second half by producing a fix, and it is cheap and safe-direction, so the case
is now refused rather than documented.

`--diff-filter=A` does not follow renames, so a later milestone that re-creates
the same literal directory (`03-auth` again, not merely phase `03` again) anchors
on the EARLIER occupant's add commit and the window opens there. The archived
refusal added earlier in this round structurally cannot reach it: `find-phase`
returns the LIVE directory, so nothing is under `milestones/` to refuse. Driven
before the guard -- v1.0 and v2.0 both at `.planning/phases/03-auth`, v1.0
archived in between: PHASE_DIR resolves live, the archive guard correctly stays
inert, the anchor is `docs(03-01): v1 plan`, and all four v1+v2 phase-03 commits
are selected. That is a previous milestone's work staged for `git revert
--no-commit`.

The guard needs no identity reconstruction: the same basename present under an
archived `milestones/v*-phases/` means the path has been used before, so the
anchor is untrustworthy and both modes refuse with their own message. It fails
toward refusing a legitimate undo of the reusing milestone, which `--last N`
covers; the alternative is reverting the earlier one's commits.

Tests: a reused-slug fixture, a negative control asserting the unguarded window
reaches back into v1.0 (all four commits), refusals in both modes, and an
inertness check on a distinct slug. All three new checks red against the pre-fix
fence.

Also narrows the changeset, which still claimed selection "no longer" reaches a
previous milestone -- true of the archived route, not of this one until now --
and corrects the concurrent-workstreams residual, which claimed the window
removed the previous-milestone class "entirely" while this case remained open.

* fix(#4465): harden the reused-path refusal against its own false positives

The cross-model audit of the previous commit refuted four of its claims. All
four were right; this closes them.

A REAL BUG: the refusal message interpolated `${PHASE_DIR}` after the fence had
already blanked it, so it would have rendered "Phase 03 resolves to , but that
directory name is also archived at ...". The live path is now preserved in
`PHASE_DIR_LIVE` before blanking, and a test pins that it survives.

THREE FALSE-REFUSAL ROUTES, each of which could block a legitimate undo:

- `[ -e ]` accepted a regular FILE where an archived phase directory would sit.
  The evidence the refusal claims is "an earlier milestone used this path", and
  only a directory is that. Now `[ -d ]`.
- The glob `v*-phases` accepted milestone directory names `cmdFindPhase` itself
  rejects -- its filter is /^v\d+.*-phases$/, so `vnondigit-phases` is not a
  milestone it would ever resolve. Refusing over one is refusing on evidence the
  producer discards. Now `v[0-9]*-phases`, in the collision check and in the
  archived-resolution guard alike.
- `${PHASE_DIR%/phases/*}` silently left the path unchanged when it carried no
  `/phases/` segment, so the scan ran against the wrong root and read as clean.
  The strip must now have fired. Outside today's producer contract either way --
  cmdFindPhase's live output always carries `/phases/` -- so this hardens a claim
  rather than fixing a reachable defect, and is stated as such.

The commit message and the changeset both asserted the guard proves the name is
"archived"; before this commit it proved only that some entry existed. Both are
narrowed to what the fence now actually establishes, and the changeset headline
no longer claims more than the anchor plus the two refusals deliver -- residual 2
(a range is ancestry, not chronology) is untouched by either.

Tests: a file-not-directory twin, a malformed `vnondigit-phases` twin, and the
preserved live path. All three red against the pre-hardening fence, along with
shape test M.

* docs(#4465): disclose what the reused-path scan does not survive

A fifth audit pass refuted three claims in the previous commit. Two are wording,
one is a real fail-open; none is fixed by more shell, so all three are stated.

The wording: `v[0-9]*-phases` was described as MIRRORING cmdFindPhase's
/^v\d+.*-phases$/. It is not equivalent -- the glob's `*` matches a newline where
the regex's `.` does not, so a directory named `v6<newline>-phases` is accepted
here and rejected there. It tracks the filter closely enough to reject the
malformed siblings that motivated it; it does not mirror it, and the comment no
longer says so. The changeset likewise said the twin is "an archived phase
directory", where the check establishes only that a directory of that name exists
under an archived milestone -- narrowed to that.

The fail-open: this collision check is the only fence in undo.md that relies on
pathname expansion (every other one uses `case`, which `set -f` does not affect).
Under a runtime with globbing disabled the scan is skipped silently and a genuine
collision passes; under `shopt -s failglob` a NON-match aborts the fence. Both sit
outside the shell state this workflow assumes throughout, and defending only this
fence while the rest of the file assumes defaults would be inconsistent -- so it
is a documented residual rather than a hardened one.

Also disclosed: the check is conservative at two edges. `[ -d ]` follows symlinks,
and an empty directory of the right name counts, so either can refuse an undo a
stricter ownership test would allow. That direction is the intended one -- refusing
too often costs a `--last N`, refusing too rarely reverts another milestone's work.

No test is added. Asserting behaviour under `set -f` would pin a shell state the
workflow does not otherwise support, and the two conservative edges are the
documented intent rather than defects.

* chore(#4465): register the new regression test in the conformance-tier list

Round 3's only blocker. The platform-conformance-tier classifier, its generated
registry and the test that asserts the registry is fresh all landed together on
`next` in `bcd99696d` (#4591 / #4598) on 2026-09-10 08:36 -0400 -- a day after
this branch's last push, so the gate did not exist when the branch was last
green. This PR adds a unit-suite test file, the classifier's content scan selects
it, and a list regenerated on `next` without it is therefore stale the moment the
two meet.

(The review cites `0b928fe28c` for that landing. That commit is #4592, four hours
later the same day, and `git diff-tree` shows it touched only
`scripts/ci-test-scope.cjs`, `scripts/gen-platform-conformance-tier.cjs` and
those two files' tests -- not the generated registry at all. The date and the
diagnosis hold either way.)

Regenerated with `node scripts/gen-platform-conformance-tier.cjs --write` on the
rebased tree: one line, 267 -> 268 entries. The `--target macos` list is
unaffected -- it writes a different file, `macos-conformance-tier.generated.cjs`,
and its classifier does not select this test (198, already matching) -- so
`lint:generated-sync`'s second conformance-tier link needed nothing.

**Two different baselines, stated so the counts are not read as one.** CI's
failure on the prior head reads `546 !== 547`, and this commit's diff reads
267 -> 268. Both are correct and they are not the same tree: at the merge commit
`54b0b197f` the committed list held 546 entries, so the classifier wanted 547.
`4d65c248e` (#4641, "narrow the tier to 28.5%") then landed on `next` at
2026-09-11 17:00 -0400 -- after that CI run started at 13:26Z -- and collapsed
the list to 266, with `a2331c01f` taking it to 267. Hence 268 here. The two
547-entry lists are not the same file set: upstream's includes
`tests/execute-phase-decimal-arithmetic.test.cjs`.

Order matters and is worth stating: the registry is derived from the `tests/`
tree, and the base range removed 282 entries from it and added 3 (`git diff
--numstat` reports `3 282`; the familiar 279 is the net shrinkage, not the count
of entries changed). Regenerating before the rebase would have produced a
547-entry list against a base carrying 267, and a three-way `git merge-file`
control over that pair does conflict. Rebase first, regenerate second.

This clears both reds on the prior head, not one. `lint-tests` is the one the
review named; `test (ubuntu-latest, 24, shard 3/3)` is the same staleness seen
through `tests/platform-conformance-tier.test.cjs:278`, which asserts the
committed list is fresh. It was the only failure in 1267 tests on that shard, and
it completed at 13:38:33Z -- five minutes after the review was submitted at
13:33:54Z, which is why the review recorded the ubuntu matrix as green.

Control: removing the added line reds `real tests/ tree classification matches
the committed list` (1 of 55, `267 !== 268`); restoring it gives 55/55.

* test(#4465): pin what find-phase returns for the workstream archive layout

Review round 4 found the archived-phase handling blind to the second archive
layout, milestones/ws-<name>-<date>/phases/, that `workstream complete` writes.
The suite had no fixture for it and its comments described one archive reader
where there are two.

- Names both readers in the resolver-contract comment: find-phase routes to
  cmdFindPhase, which admits only /^v\d+.*-phases$/ under milestones/, while
  the phase locator (listArchiveVersionDirs) also enumerates ws-*.
- Adds a ws-* fixture built the way `workstream complete` builds it (the whole
  workstream dir moved into milestones/ws-feat-<date>/).
- Negative control: a re-created workstream with the same phase slug, run
  without the collision guard, selects the archived generation's commits.
- Pins the actual find-phase contract: a phase living only in a ws-* archive
  resolves to nothing, and nothing is selected.
- Pins that an ordinary deleted plan file inside a live phase is not treated
  as a previous occupant.

runFences gains an explicit env override so a test can activate a workstream
after the leak scrub. Every test here passes on the pre-fix workflow; the
assertions that need the fix land with it in the next commit.

* fix(#4465): refuse a re-created phase path by its history, not an archive-layout glob

Review round 4: the archived-phase handling encoded the archive layout as a
literal `v[0-9]*-phases` glob, while the phase locator owns two layouts. The
second, milestones/ws-<name>-<date>/phases/, is what `workstream complete`
writes.

Driven on the real fences: a workstream `feat` completed into ws-feat-<date>/
and then re-created with the same 03-auth slug resolves to the live path,
the collision glob finds no v*-phases twin, the anchor opens on the archived
generation's first commit, and --phase 03 selects that generation's commits.

The collision check now asks git whether this exact path went EMPTY somewhere
in HEAD's history and came back: `git log -m --no-renames --diff-filter=D`
over PHASE_DIR, then `git ls-tree -d` at each deleting commit to tell a
vacated directory from an ordinary deleted plan file. That answers for every
way a path can be vacated -- the flat archive, the ws-* archive, and a phase
removed and re-added under the same slug, which no layout glob could see --
without a second reader of the layout to keep in sync. The refusal message
now names the commit that vacated the path.

The archived-resolution refusal names both layouts. find-phase (cmdFindPhase)
searches only the flat archives today, so a ws-*-only phase resolves to
nothing and fails closed on the not-found rule; the ws-* arm keeps the refusal
correct if find-phase is ever taught the locator's second layout, and a
stubbed-resolver test pins it for both modes.

The retired glob's shell-state residual (pathname expansion under set -f /
failglob) is gone with it. Its replacement residual is documented in-workflow:
the history check misses a single commit that both moves the directory away
and re-creates it, and over-refuses when a side branch emptied it and the
merge kept it.

* fix(#4465): run undo's path-scoped git calls from the project root find-phase answers against

Found by this round's pre-push review. find-phase prints PHASE_DIR relative
to the PROJECT ROOT -- gsd-tools resolves the root before it dispatches --
while the workflow's shell stays wherever the user invoked /gsd:undo. A git
pathspec is read relative to git's cwd, so from a subdirectory every
PHASE_DIR-scoped call looked in the wrong place:

- the anchor (`git log --diff-filter=A`) came back empty, so a legitimate
  --phase or --plan undo was refused. Fail-closed, but a refusal of valid
  work, and it dates from round 1;
- the collision check's `git log --diff-filter=D` came back empty, so a
  re-created path was never recognised. The anchor failing too is the only
  reason this did not over-select.

Both modes now take PROJECT_ROOT from `planning inspect --pick
generated_from.cwd` -- the directory find-phase itself resolved against --
and run the three path-scoped calls as `git -C "${PROJECT_ROOT:-.}"`. The
project root, not `git rev-parse --show-toplevel`: a project need not sit at
the top of its repository, and a control test pins that choice. Selection,
revert and rev-parse calls are SHA-only and unchanged.

Tests: every behavioural test ran from the fixture root, where the two
readings coincide. New ones run the fences from sub/dir -- normal selection
in both modes, refusal of a re-created path for both archive layouts in both
modes, and a dropped plan file NOT refused, which is how a mis-rooted
ls-tree would fail (it lists nothing, and nothing reads as "vacated"). Shape
test O pins every PHASE_DIR-scoped git call to the root. The two tests
renamed in the previous commit are relabelled as false-positive controls:
they pass with the collision check deleted, and say so.

Reversion controls, all driven: the pre-change undo.md fails 7 tests; one
mode's ls-tree mis-rooted fails 3 in either mode; PROJECT_ROOT from
--show-toplevel fails 2.

* fix(#4465): refuse a phase planned in another repository, and never widen a foreign anchor

Found by this round's second pre-push review, against the previous commit.
Running the anchor from the project root is right while the project root
and the caller share a repository. In a `sub_repos` project they do not:
.planning/ lives in a parent repository and the code in child ones, and
from a child findProjectRoot returns the parent. The anchor then came from
the PARENT's history -- a commit the child does not hold. `git rev-parse
"${PHASE_START}^"` failed in the child, the root-commit arm read that as
"no parent", set UNDO_RANGE=HEAD, and selection ran over the child's whole
history. Driven: both child commits selected, including one older than the
phase. Before the previous commit that case resolved no anchor and failed
closed; the previous commit made it destructive.

Two layers, both modes:

- a same-repository refusal in the guard fence: the caller's git directory
  and PROJECT_ROOT's, each physically resolved, must be the same one
  (per-worktree, so a linked worktree compares correctly). A different one
  sets PHASE_DIR_FOREIGN, blanks PHASE_DIR, and the workflow stops with a
  --last N pointer;
- in the anchor: a PHASE_START that is not a commit this repository holds is
  blanked before the root-commit arm. That ambiguity -- "no parent" read as
  "root commit" when it can also mean "not a commit here" -- dates from
  round 1; the previous commit made it reachable.

Shape test O now also pins that PROJECT_ROOT is assigned only from planning
inspect: a rooted call is only as good as the root it is handed, and a later
reassignment passed every spelling check (review, claim 8). Shape test P
pins both layers in both modes.

Correction to the previous commit's message: it said an empty anchor was
the only reason a missed collision could not over-select before that
commit. The review drove a counterexample -- a tracked `.planning` path
coinciding with the caller's subdirectory resolves a wrong, non-empty
anchor -- so that sentence overstated it.

Reversion controls, driven: the previous commit's undo.md fails 3 (P, the
sub_repos refusal, defense in depth); the refusal made inert fails 2 (P and
the refusal; the anchor check alone still keeps the range empty); the
anchor check made inert fails 2 (P and defense in depth; the refusal alone
still refuses). A verbatim negative control shows the pre-hardening
root-commit arm widening the parent's anchor to all of HEAD.

* fix(#4465): compare the repository, not the worktree, and anchor only inside HEAD's history

Found by this round's third pre-push review, against the previous commit.
Its repository gate compared per-worktree git directories. gsd-tools maps
a linked worktree with no .planning/ of its own to the MAIN worktree
(resolveMainWorktreeCwd), so from such a worktree PROJECT_ROOT is the main
checkout: one repository, one object database, two per-worktree git dirs
-- and the gate refused a legitimate undo. It now compares the COMMON git
directory, physically resolved, which is the repository's identity; a
sub_repos child is still a different one and is still refused.

Driving that case showed the anchor check was too weak for it. The anchor
comes from the main worktree's branch history, and nothing guaranteed the
linked HEAD contains it: a linked branch that left main before the phase
started would get a window bounded by a commit outside its own history.
The check is now "PHASE_START is an ancestor of HEAD" (`git merge-base
--is-ancestor`), which subsumes the previous "is a commit here" test -- a
missing object is not an ancestor either -- and changes nothing in the
ordinary case, where the anchor is read from HEAD's own log.

Tests: a linked-worktree fixture (the linked checkout has no .planning/,
which is what makes gsd-tools map it to main; the test asserts the mapping
happened) is allowed in both modes and selects the phase; the same shape
branched before the phase resolves no range. Shape test P pins the
common-dir comparison, forbids --absolute-git-dir, and pins the ancestry
check.

Reversion controls, driven: the previous commit's undo.md fails 3 (P and
both linked-worktree tests); per-worktree git dirs restored fails the same
3; the ancestry check replaced by the previous cat-file test fails 2 (P
and the branched-before test, which then selects a linked commit whose
history never held the phase); no anchor check at all fails 3 (P, defense
in depth, the branched-before test).

48271de43f fix(#4660): widen the 6 shell/markdown phase-id mirrors to the canonical grammar's letter axis (#4744)
* test(#4660): pin the letter-axis parity defect across all 6 shell/markdown phase-id sites

Extends tests/nsegment-phase-grammar.test.cjs (#4568) one axis over: for each
of the six sites, reads the live regex off disk and asserts it agrees with
src/phase-id.cts's PHASE_NUMBER_TOKEN_SOURCE on the letter axis in BOTH
directions — accepts `12A` / `3A` / `03A` / `23A.1.2`, still rejects `3a`,
`3AB`, `A3` and the other canonical-invalid shapes — and that the two
extracting sites return the full letter-suffixed token rather than its digit
prefix (or nothing).

Negative control against the unfixed tree: 22 failures, exactly the
"(fails before the fix)" cases; every reject-parity case already green.

* fix(#4660): widen the 6 shell/markdown phase-id mirrors to the canonical grammar's letter axis

Adds `[A-Z]?` after the leading digit run at all six sites #4568 widened —
the ERE translation of src/phase-id.cts's `\d+[A-Z]?(?:\.\d+)*` — so a
documented, canonical-valid id like `12A` or `23A.1.2` is no longer refused
by the four validating sites (code-review.md, code-review-fix.md,
gsd-code-fixer.md, gsd-code-fixer.compact.md) or truncated to its digit
prefix by the two extracting sites (execute-plan.md's plan-filename grep,
plan-phase.md's --research-phase capture). Behaviour is byte-identical for
every id that matched before; the adjacent comment and error-message text
now names the grammar it mirrors.

Driven: `init code-review 3A` on a fixture with a `03A-slug/` directory and
a `### Phase 3A:` heading emits `padded_phase: "03A"`, which the old regex
rejects and the widened one accepts — nothing upstream of the validator
mangles the id.

At execute-plan.md the trailing `-[0-9]+` is the PLAN number and stays
digit-only; plan and milestone dimensions are out of scope per the brief.
`CASE_FLEXIBLE_PHASE_NUMBER_TOKEN_SOURCE` derives from the canonical source
by a literal `.replaceAll('A-Z', 'A-Za-z')`, so src/phase-id.cts is
deliberately untouched.

* chore(#4634): extend lint-phase-id-drift to ban a letter-less phase-id mirror in workflows/ and agents/

Adds findLetterlessPhaseMirrorDrift — the letter-axis twin of the #4568
single-segment rule — flagging the unbounded-segment shape
`[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)*` (and its \d / doubled-backslash near-variants) whose
digit run is NOT followed by the `[A-Z]?` class, on any phase-carrying line
across gsd-core/workflows/**/*.md, gsd-core/references/**/*.md and
agents/**/*.md. Sanctioned the same way (`<!-- phase-id-owner: ... -->`),
tolerates the case-flexible `[A-Za-z]?` directory-scanning variant so it
cannot force that separate axis to narrow, and is wired into scanAll.
Confirmed zero violations against the real tree post-#4660 fix, and one
violation when a single site is reverted.

eb49ff98df fix(#4728): stop presenting the retired Gemini CLI as a supported runtime (#4743)
* fix(#4728): stop presenting the retired Gemini CLI as a supported runtime

#1928 removed the Gemini CLI runtime after Google sunset it on 2026-06-18, and
updated the ENGLISH docs. The locale mirrors and the runtime-loaded workflow
prose were not updated in the same change, and no gate asserts the ABSENCE of a
retired runtime, so both drifted quietly for a year.

The finding that shaped this change: English is already correct. docs/
ARCHITECTURE.md, CONFIGURATION.md, USER-GUIDE.md, how-to/install-on-your-runtime.md
and CLI-TOOLS.md carry zero runtime-axis Gemini references; the only English hits
anywhere are a Gemini 2.5 Pro MODEL line, the GEMINI_API_KEY row, and prose that
correctly documents the retirement. So the docs half of this is translation lag,
not a content decision, and every locale edit here is parity with an existing
English line rather than new wording:

  - install-on-your-runtime.md  English has NO `### Gemini CLI` section  -> deleted
  - USER-GUIDE.md :843          "…, Antigravity CLI, Kilo)"              -> substituted
  - ARCHITECTURE.md             English has NO Gemini CLI table row      -> row deleted
  - ARCHITECTURE.md :24         English holds `Kimi CLI` in that slot    -> Kimi CLI
  - context-monitor.md :3       "`AfterTool` for Antigravity CLI"        -> substituted
  - spike-and-sketch.md :93     "(Codex, Antigravity CLI, etc.)"         -> substituted
  - configure-model-profiles    "Codex, OpenCode, Antigravity CLI, or Kilo" -> substituted
  - COMMANDS.md                 English keeps only hyphen + Codex bullets -> colon bullet deleted
  - FEATURES.md                 source docs/features/multi-runtime-support.md:10
                                lists no Gemini CLI                       -> name removed

ARCHITECTURE.md:24 is the clearest case for reading English rather than
substituting blind: Antigravity ALREADY appears later in that list, so replacing
Gemini CLI with Antigravity would have named it twice. English holds Kimi CLI
there, so that is what the locales get.

The largest single class was hand-duplicated boilerplate. A "Text mode" paragraph
repeated across 34 runtime-loaded workflow files ends "…required for non-Claude
runtimes (OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, etc.)". No lint enforces that sentence and no
script syncs it, so every copy was edited. These files are read by the agent at
runtime, so they steer behavior rather than only informing a reader — which is why
this class matters more than its word count suggests.

The slash-command-form section is restructured in all four languages to match
English, which had already dropped its colon-form bullet. That bullet claimed the
colon form is "Gemini CLI only", which was false on its own terms independent of
the retirement: `/gsd:…` is GSD's canonical AUTHORING token, rewritten per runtime
at install time, and NO runtime registers it — VALID_COMMAND_STYLES is
{slash-hyphen, shell-var} and 18 of 19 runtimes declare slash-hyphen. Substituting
the runtime name would have left the claim false with Antigravity's name in it, so
the claim is gone, matching English.

Two anchor regressions were caught and fixed while doing that. zh-CN lost its
explicit {#slash-command-forms-hyphen-vs-colon} anchor while its TOC still linked
it; the anchor is restored. ko-KR and pt-BR never had an explicit anchor and rely
on the slug generated from the heading text, so shortening the heading broke their
own TOC links; those links now point at the new slugs. English's heading lost its
anchor while its TOC still links the old one — that latent English bug is
deliberately NOT copied.

Preserved, because `gemini` is not one thing here and a blanket sweep breaks the
product: ~/.gemini/antigravity{,-ide,-cli} and ~/.gemini as their parent;
~/.gemini/config (#3738); GEMINI.md; hookEvents "gemini"; GEMINI_API_KEY in all
four locales; every gemini-* model id and the Gemini 2.5 Pro references in
ko-KR/pt-BR/zh-CN (ja-JP genuinely lacks that line — the locales have diverged, so
a uniform patch would be wrong); the hook-event dialect notes, which are
RE-ATTRIBUTED rather than deleted because Antigravity inherits that dialect;
reapply-patches.md:93's legacy-install note; host-integration-capability-matrix.md
:27 and :342, which correctly record the sunset and Antigravity's contract;
whats-new-1.7.0.md and FEATURES.md:3506, which document the retirement itself; and
the generated launcher preamble, which belongs to epic #4632 — zero
_GSD_SHIM_NAME lines appear in this diff.

Coverage: a #4728 block in tests/gemini-runtime-removed.test.cjs asserts the
retired name is gone from STRUCTURAL POSITIONS (a level-3 heading, a table row's
first cell, a runtime-example parenthetical) rather than asserting the string is
absent, which would be wrong. It pairs those with positive PRESERVE assertions
over the same files — Antigravity's heading, ~/.gemini/antigravity, GEMINI_API_KEY,
AfterTool — so a patch that deletes too much fails as loudly as one that deletes
too little. The model-axis test pins both the presence in three locales and the
absence in ja-JP, so a later uniform patch that "helpfully" adds it back fails.
The new docs/ reads tripped lint-docs-guard-registration for the first time in
this file, so the test is registered in scripts/docs-guard-registry.cjs.

Not covered here, by design: nothing above would catch a Gemini-as-runtime
reference appearing in a NEW file tomorrow. That is the repo-wide drift guard,
#4729, which must land last — written now it would red on the very references this
change removes.

Fixes #4728

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

* fix(#4728): fix four review blockers, including a vacuous test and my own duplicate

A full matrix run on 31f12d7943 FAILED with 3 real failures, and an isolated
adversarial review returned BLOCK on four blockers. All of it was correct.

1. I committed the exact error I claimed to have avoided. The commit message
   boasted that ARCHITECTURE.md:24 proved the value of reading English rather
   than substituting blind, because Antigravity already appeared later in that
   list. Five hundred lines further down the SAME four files, my
   `Gemini:` -> `Antigravity:` substitution produced TWO consecutive
   `- Antigravity:` bullets, because an Antigravity bullet was already there.
   English (ARCHITECTURE.md:827) merges them into one. Now merged in all four
   locales, reusing each locale's existing words.

2. `--gemini` survived in the runtime-detection CLI flag list in all four
   locale ARCHITECTURE.md files. English:817 holds `--kimi` in that slot and
   already lists `--antigravity` later, so this is another place where
   substituting Antigravity would have duplicated it. Now `--kimi`.

3. Two runtime-loaded workflow files still enumerated Gemini one line ABOVE the
   line I had already corrected -- the "Adaptive (Recommended)" option in
   settings.md:192 and new-project/steps/auto-mode-config.md:95.

4. THE NEW TEST WAS VACUOUS for two of its five files. It matched only
   `non-Claude runtimes (` and `(e.g. `, and neither regex could reach the two
   lines the change actually fixed: health.md:52 reads `non-Claude (Codex, ...)`
   without the word "runtimes", and execute-phase.md:1028 has no parenthetical
   at all. The reviewer proved it by re-introducing Gemini at both lines and
   watching the assertion stay GREEN. That same blind spot is what hid finding 3.

   Replaced with a case-sensitive `/\bGemini\b/` walk over every
   `gsd-core/workflows/**/*.md`, which works because every LEGITIMATE gemini
   reference in that tree is spelled differently and cannot match: Antigravity's
   paths are lowercase with a slash (`~/.gemini/antigravity`), Google's model ids
   are lowercase and hyphenated (`gemini-3.1-pro-preview`), and the env vars are
   uppercase (`GEMINI_CONFIG_DIR`, `GEMINI_SESSION_ID`). A bare capitalised
   `Gemini` there means the retired RUNTIME is being named. The walk asserts it
   found at least 50 files so an empty walk cannot pass vacuously, and it now
   covers the nested `new-project/steps/` directory where finding 3 lived.

   Two allowlist entries, both by line CONTENT and both justified:
   reapply-patches.md's `Legacy: ... pre-#1928` note, and settings-advanced.md's
   `Known provider` menu. The second was escalated by the agent rather than
   decided: Section 8 of that file says model policy is defined "independently"
   of the runtime, so `(Claude / OpenAI / Gemini / Qwen)` is the PROVIDER axis --
   the same axis as the lowercase model ids -- and must keep working.

   Proven to fail, not just asserted: the predicate reports 0 offenders on the
   real tree and exactly 2 on a /tmp copy with Gemini re-injected at
   health.md:52 and execute-phase.md:1028.

Also from the review: a `| Gemini |` COLUMN survived in the locale FEATURES.md
comparison tables (English has none) -- removed from all three, with header,
separator and every body row kept aligned; two ENGLISH runtime-axis sites were
missed by my own parity standard (how-to/execute-a-phase.md:88 and
how-to/verify-and-ship.md:89, the latter doubly stale since #4716 retired the
Gemini reviewer lane); docs/USER-GUIDE.md:12 linked a dead anchor, which I had
found and deliberately left -- record-and-proceed on a known defect is exactly
what the rules forbid, so it is fixed; docs/COMMANDS.md:12 and all four mirrors
still claimed "the hyphen and colon forms are runtime-specific spellings" with
no colon form documented anywhere, so that false sentence is deleted; and ko-KR
had the installer rather than the user doing the targeting.

The other two matrix failures were the compact-content benchmark baseline, which
drifted because this PR changes byte counts, refreshed via the script's own
`--write` path rather than by hand; and this commit's emitted-drift-ack trailers.

Method note on the acks: the failing run measured growth against
origin/next@1110c3b4ee, which is the STALE LOCAL `next` ref -- gsd-test merges
into the local base branch, and this machine's `next` is seven commits behind
origin/next, which is checked out in the main worktree and so cannot be
fast-forwarded from here. The 32 trailers below are computed against the REAL
base (origin/next @ ca8d9d4459) by comparing each tracked file's blob size, which
is one more file than that run reported -- the extra is settings.md, grown again
by fix 3. docs-update.md and map-codebase.md are deliberately NOT acked: they
SHRANK, since there the fix deleted ", Gemini CLI" rather than substituting, and
acking a file no delta consumed is itself an error.

* chore(#4728): add the changeset fragment

The PR body claimed one was present and it was not — caught by
scripts/changeset/lint.cjs reporting fail_missing_fragment, not by the
checklist, which is exactly why the lint exists.

Type Fixed: the diff is prose, and a docs-only fix uses Fixed since there is
no Documentation type.

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

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

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

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

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

Surfaces stripped of the dead flag:
- capabilities/gemini/ deleted; registry and capability-matrix regenerated
- src/review-lane-descriptor.cts: REVIEWER_LANES entry, docblock count, and the
  three doc comments that used --gemini as a live example
- commands/gsd/{review,plan-review-convergence,autonomous,progress}.md and the
  four matching skills/*/SKILL.md: argument-hint frontmatter and flag bullets
- gsd-core/workflows/help/modes/{full,full.compact}.md: /gsd-help signatures,
  the detected-CLI list, and the reviewer-title list
- gsd-core/workflows/settings-integrations.md: the integrations wizard no longer
  offers "Gemini" as a model option, and the settable-keys list drops it
- gsd-core/workflows/review.md: the `command -v gemini` probe, the --gemini
  flag, the roster frontmatter, the install pointer to the sunset repo, and the
  jq-less / precedence / self-skip lane lists
- gsd-core/workflows/sync-skills.md: "two runtimes (grok, gemini) resolve to
  ANOTHER runtime's skills root" is now one runtime; gemini never aliased

- docs/{CONFIGURATION,COMMANDS,CLI-TOOLS}.md, docs/reference/capability-matrix.md,

  @google/gemini-cli` instruction and the two rows recommending --gemini
- docs/features/{cross-ai-peer-review,opt-in-parallel-reviewer-lanes}.md as the
  generator inputs behind docs/FEATURES.md, plus the three locale FEATURES.md
  signature lines the docs-parity gate covers (the #2781 class: a flag change
  that never reaches the mirrors)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6f99e493e7 fix(#4395): make the debug session manager's own gsd-debugger spawn blocking (#4718)
* test(#4395): prove the manager spawns its debugger without blocking

Failing-first regression coverage for #4395.

debug.md:209 mandates the orchestrator to session-manager spawn carry
run_in_background: false, and says why outright: "Claude Code backgrounds
subagents by default, and only that flag makes the spawn return the
compact session summary directly" (#2196).

The session-manager to debugger spawn, one level down, carries no flag.
Measured: run_in_background appears nowhere under agents/ -- only in
gsd-core/workflows/. So by the rule #2196 itself states, that spawn is
backgrounded, Step 3 ("Handle Agent Return") has no return to inspect,
the manager emits CONTINUE_REQUIRED, the orchestrator auto-resumes per
#2257/#3448, and a second detached debugger races the first on
.planning/debug/<slug>.md.

Row 4 is the load-bearing one: it closes the CLASS by requiring every
subagent spawn under agents/ to declare run_in_background explicitly, so
the next agent that spawns one has to decide rather than inherit a silent
host default. It is scoped to agents/ precisely so it cannot misfire on
the workflows that deliberately use true for parallel fan-out.

Rows 5-7 are pins, not fixes: the #2196 mandate one level up, Step 2 as
the single spawn-format source that the eight continuation sites delegate
to, and the survival of CONTINUE_REQUIRED (which has a legitimate trigger
unrelated to this defect).

Red round: 4 of 7 rows fail. Row 3 needed hardening first -- asserting
only that the two variants AGREE passed vacuously, because two missing
flags are also equal; it now asserts each is present before comparing.

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

* fix(#4395): make the manager's own debugger spawn blocking

The orchestrator-to-manager hop already requires a blocking spawn and says
why (#2196, debug.md:209): Claude Code backgrounds subagents by default,
and only run_in_background=false makes the spawn return its summary. The
manager-to-debugger hop, one level down, carried no flag -- measured,
run_in_background appeared nowhere under agents/ at all.

So that spawn was backgrounded. Step 3 ("Handle Agent Return") opens
"Inspect the return output for the structured return header" -- with
nothing to inspect, the manager correctly declined to fabricate a terminal
summary and returned CONTINUE_REQUIRED; the orchestrator correctly
auto-resumed (#2257/#3448); the resumed manager reached Step 2 and spawned
a SECOND detached debugger. Both then raced on .planning/debug/<slug>.md.

Every observable in the report follows with no further assumption,
including the count: the reporter saw exactly three collisions in one
invocation, and debug.md:251 caps auto-resumes at three per slug -- one
collision per cycle.

Fixed at the cause, in both shipped variants, kept byte-consistent. The
eight continuation sites say "see Step 2 format", so they inherit it.

The issue offered two remedies. The second -- have the auto-resume path
reconcile a still-running debugger before spawning another -- is not taken:
it treats the symptom, and needs machinery that does not exist (no portable
way to enumerate or stop another runtime's live agents, plus an in-flight
sentinel with staleness and recovery rules, or an orphaned marker deadlocks
the session permanently). With the spawn blocking, the manager cannot reach
Step 4 while a debugger is live, so such a guard would also be unreachable.

#2257, #3448, the anti-loop heuristic, the cap of three, and the
CONTINUE_REQUIRED shape are all correct and untouched. CONTINUE_REQUIRED
keeps its legitimate trigger: the manager genuinely exhausting its own turn
budget mid-investigation.

Also corrects the red-round test to the canonical CALL form. debug.md
writes run_in_background=false inside Agent(...) and run_in_background:
false in prose; the first draft asserted the prose form, which the shipped
call would never have matched.

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

* chore(#4395): refresh the variant benchmark baseline

Two entries move.

gsd-debug-session-manager.md 4766/4477 -> 4938/4649 is this change: the
blocking-spawn flag plus its explanatory note, added to BOTH variants to
keep them byte-consistent, so the compact sibling grows by the same amount
and the pair's reduction ratio dips 6.06 -> 5.85. The compact file remains
strictly smaller than its canonical sibling, which is what the variant
guard's size check actually requires.

gsd-code-fixer.md 10741 -> 10740 is NOT from this branch -- the file is
untouched here. It has scored 10740 since f334f277dd (#4324) reworded a
line without refreshing this fixture, so the stale number is sitting on
next. Fixed here rather than deferred; the #4350 branch carries the
identical one-token correction, so whichever lands first makes the other a
no-op.

Refreshed with the variant script's own --write.

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

* fix(#4395): state the blocking rule agent-wide and correct two overclaims

Review round. Three substantive corrections, one of them to a claim I made
in the previous commit message.

1. The blocking rule is now stated AGENT-WIDE, not per-call. My earlier
   claim that "the eight continuation sites say 'see Step 2 format', so
   they inherit it" was false: exactly ONE of them names Step 2 (the
   compact variant says "Step 2 format" without the "see", which is why
   the first draft of the test matched it zero times there). The other
   sites inherit only because Step 2 holds the sole Agent() spawn literal
   in each file. Both variants now say so outright, and the test pins the
   sole-literal invariant in BOTH variants rather than the prose wording
   in one.

2. debug.md's two auto-resume buckets now restate run_in_background=false
   for the re-spawn. "The same session_params" does not carry it --
   session_params is prompt content, not the spawn flag.

3. The test extractor now also matches single-line Agent(...) calls. The
   class guard was blind to exactly the shape a future offender is most
   likely to take.

Also corrects the diagnosis: remedy 2 is NOT unreachable once the spawn
blocks. This agent's own retained CONTINUE_REQUIRED trigger is "turn
budget exhausted WHILE THE DEBUGGER IS STILL INVESTIGATING", so a harness
turn cutoff mid-wait still double-spawns; debug.md:209 names the same
class from the other side. What this fix removes is the SYSTEMATIC case --
every invocation, because the spawn was always backgrounded. The residual
turn-cutoff window survives, bounded by the existing three-resume cap, and
is stated in the PR rather than denied.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-debug-session-manager.md — blocking spawn flag, the note recording why an unstated flag produced colliding debuggers, and the agent-wide restatement the per-site inheritance actually depends on
Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-debug-session-manager.compact.md — same change as its full sibling, kept byte-consistent with it
Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: debug.md — both auto-resume buckets restate the spawn flag, since session_params does not carry it

ed819aa4d6 fix(#4379): make the TDD RED-commit pathspec language-agnostic (#4715)
* fix(#4379): make the TDD RED pathspec language-agnostic

The pathspec IS this gate's definition of "a test file", and it listed
only JS/TS conventions. Go's *_test.go matches none of them, so a commit
adding a failing Go test was invisible, RED_COMMIT came back empty, and
every behaviour-adding task halted with TDD GATE TRIPPED. references/tdd.md
already advertises `go test ./...` and `cargo test` as supported, so the
gate was refusing to see tests the docs promised to support.

Two corrections, both measured against a seeded repo rather than reasoned:

- cover the conventions tdd.md advertises: *_test.go, test_*.py,
  *_test.py, *_test.exs, *_spec.rb, *_test.rb.
- drop the `**/` prefix. It does NOT match a path with no directory
  component, so a root-level foo.test.js was invisible even in the
  language the gate did support -- a second defect the report did not
  mention. A bare glob matches at every depth.

Deliberately not widened to ordinary source: a pathspec matching
implementation files would make the gate pass on any in-scope commit,
which is worse than tripping wrongly. Rust is a known gap for that exact
reason and is now documented rather than silently broken.

Driving the shipped pathspec against a seeded repo: before, 0 of 7
language/root conventions matched; after, 7 of 7, with src/impl.go and
src/lib.rs correctly unmatched in both.

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

* test(#4379): drive the shipped RED pathspec against a real repo

The existing row pinned the pathspec as a literal string, which the fix
makes stale. Re-point it, and add behavioural coverage that EXTRACTS the
pathspec from the shipped workflow and runs git log with it against a
seeded repo -- re-typing the pattern into the test would only assert that
two copies of a string agree.

Rows: every advertised convention is visible; a root-level test file is
not invisible (the half the report missed); existing JS/TS still matches;
implementation files never match, so the gate can still trip; and Rust
inline #[test] stays out of reach, asserted rather than left silent.

* chore(#4379): add changeset fragment

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

* fix(#4379): be honest about the widened pathspec's cost

Adversarial review: the rationale comment claimed the change was safe
without naming what it gives up. `*.spec.*` can match a non-test file
carrying the word (api.spec.json, openapi.spec.yaml), which lets the gate
pass on a commit touching only that. Not new -- `**/*.spec.*` already
matched those at any nested path, so dropping `**/` extends the same
class to the root -- but the comment should say so rather than imply
the widening is free.

Also: the tdd.md list named Ruby and Elixir as recognised while the
detection step above it enumerates only Node/Python/Go/Rust. Say
explicitly that the gate's pathspec is wider than the detected project
types, and why that is deliberate.

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

* test(#4379): drop a vacuous row, fold its point into a real one

Adversarial review: the "rust inline #[test] remains out of reach" row
asserted src/lib.rs never matches -- the identical assertion to the
"implementation files never match" row directly below it. It exercised
nothing about #[test] semantics and would have passed against almost any
fix, so it was coverage theatre.

Delete it and move its rationale into the row that already carries the
assertion, where it explains WHY the Rust gap follows from that row
holding: the two cannot both be satisfied by a path-based gate.

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

* fix(#4379): move the pathspec rationale out of a size-capped file

execute-phase.md sits under a FROZEN byte ceiling (ADR-857 Phase 6,
#1168: < 93600). The 20-line rationale comment I added pushed it to
93933 and tripped seven tests, all the same ceiling. Base was 92371, so
the budget was 1229 bytes and the comment spent 1481.

Keep six lines at the call site -- what the pathspec is, why it is not
wider, where to read more -- and move the trade-off detail to
references/tdd.md, which has no ceiling. That is the right home anyway:
the workflow is loaded into context on every run, the reference is read
on demand.

92882 bytes, 718 under. Pathspec line byte-identical; re-proved
behaviour after the trim: 0/7 conventions before, 7/7 after, no
implementation files matched either way.

* chore(#4379): refresh the compact-content benchmark baseline

execute-phase.md changed size, so the committed baseline drifted. The
script's own contract makes it a report that exits 0, but the test
asserts the committed baseline is up to date -- refresh via --write,
which is what the drift message instructs.

ec22377a9d fix(#4351): run-scope preserved review evidence (#4713)
* fix(#4351): run-scope preserved review evidence

The preserve block copied lane output into a flat .review-diagnostics/
using each file's source basename. A lane slug is stable across runs, so
the destination was stable across runs too -- and cp over an existing
file is a success, so a second review of the same phase destroyed the
first run's evidence with no error and no warning, in the one directory
that exists to outlive the rm -rf beside it.

Copy into one subdirectory per run instead. $RUN_DIR is mktemp -d, so
its basename is already unique per run by construction; the UTC stamp in
front is only a sort key and is omitted if date fails. Destination-only:
nothing inside $RUN_DIR is renamed, because both
prepare_trimmed_prompt_for_reviewer and the lane invocation resolver
depend on those exact basenames.

Verified by extracting the real fence and running it twice against one
phase dir: before, one report survived and it was run 2's; after, both.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: review.md — per-run diagnostics subdirectory plus the comment explaining why uniqueness cannot come from the clock
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(#4351): cover repeated runs, resolve through the run subdir

Adds the two-run rows the issue asks for: both runs' reports recoverable,
and a lane failing identically twice leaving two stubs. Both assert on
CONTENT, not a file count -- a clobber producing the same number of
files would pass a count-only check, and the defect is that run 1's
bytes were replaced.

runWriteReviewsFlow gains an optional phaseDir so a caller can run the
flow twice against one phase directory, which is the only arrangement
that can observe the overwrite. Omitted, it mints a fresh one as before.

The existing rows asserted a flat readdir of the diagnostics root, which
the fix makes stale. They now resolve through preservedPath/preservedNames
so they keep asserting WHICH files were preserved rather than silently
becoming assertions about the layout; the layout is pinned once,
explicitly, by oneRunSubdirectoryPerRun_4351.

Adversarial review: the fragment said each run gets its own "timestamped
subdirectory", which reads as though the timestamp provides the
separation. It does not -- collision-safety is mktemp's random basename,
and the stamp is a sort key that is dropped entirely when date fails.
The code comment already said so; the user-facing text now agrees.

1110c3b4ee fix(#4709): stop minting the retired gemini runtime id in shipped surfaces (#4711)
* test(#4709): assert no shipped surface mints a retired runtime id

Extends the #1928 removal guard to the surfaces it structurally could not
reach. Its own docblock scopes it to the installer CLI contract and the
runtime-name-policy exports; it spawns the installer and inspects module
exports, and never reads gsd-core/workflows/**, commands/** or skills/**.

Four structural assertions, all RED on next:
- every RUNTIME= assignment must name a canonical runtime
- the runtime->model-tier table must name only model-catalog runtimes
- runtime selection menus must offer only canonical runtimes
- config-set runtime / model_profile_overrides examples must be canonical

Structural, not textual: each asserts the literal is canonical or the runtime
exists as a catalog key, never that the string "gemini" is absent. That string
is load-bearing across Antigravity's real on-disk contract, so a fifth test
pins that contract from the descriptor (not from a resolved path, which would
read $ANTIGRAVITY_CONFIG_DIR and the real $HOME -- the #4312 defect class).
An over-broad gemini -> antigravity replacement fails there rather than ships.

The menu assertion is scoped by the nearest preceding `question:` matching
/runtime/i, because the same file carries a provider menu (anthropic, openai)
and a budget menu (high, medium, low) whose labels are single lowercase tokens
too and name neither a runtime nor anything the policy should judge.

Refs #4709

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

* fix(#4709): stop minting the retired gemini runtime id in workflow text

#1928 removed the gemini runtime after Google sunset Gemini CLI on 2026-06-18,
but the removal stopped at the installer boundary. Runtime-loaded workflow text
kept assigning the id, and the name policy's unknown-id fallbacks then applied a
default designed for a never-known FUTURE runtime to an id GSD itself retired:
getRuntimeLabel('gemini') is 'Claude Code', getProjectInstructionFile('gemini')
is 'AGENTS.md', getGlobalConfigDir('gemini') is ~/.claude. A stale id produced a
plausible wrong answer instead of an error.

Those fallbacks are DELIBERATE and are left untouched here -- four docblocks
document them, src/runtime-name-policy.cts:220-222 calls the label default "the
always-safe default, fail-closed", and an existing test in this very suite pins
getProjectInstructionFile('gemini') === 'AGENTS.md'. This commit removes the
REACHABILITY of the retired id instead:

- new-project.md, ingest-docs.md: the runtime-detection cascade mapped
  /.gemini/ and $GEMINI_CONFIG_DIR to RUNTIME=gemini. Both now map
  /.gemini/antigravity{,-ide,-cli}/ and $ANTIGRAVITY_CONFIG_DIR to
  RUNTIME=antigravity, the documented successor. ingest-docs.md was not in the
  original report; the new structural test found it.
- settings-advanced.md: dropped the `gemini` row from the runtime->model-tier
  table. The model catalog has no gemini runtime (runtimeTierDefaults has 18
  keys, none of them gemini), so the row advertised built-in defaults for a
  runtime whose config key is ignored. Its three model IDs were copied from the
  `google` PROVIDER preset -- a provider axis rendered as a runtime axis.
- settings-advanced.md: removed the `gemini` / "Gemini CLI." runtime menu
  option and its group listing, so no menu offers a runtime GSD cannot install.
- settings-advanced.md: repointed the config examples from `runtime gemini` to
  `runtime antigravity`, which ships no built-in tier defaults and is therefore
  the case those overrides actually exist for.
- reapply-patches.md: $GEMINI_CONFIG_DIR -> $ANTIGRAVITY_CONFIG_DIR,
  ~/.gemini/gsd-local-patches -> ~/.gemini/antigravity/gsd-local-patches, and
  the local scan's bare .gemini -> .agents (Antigravity's localConfigDir). This
  file is hand-written, so `npm run sync:launcher` never reached it.
- update.md: bare ~/.gemini and ./.gemini as GSD config dirs -> the real
  ~/.gemini/antigravity and ./.agents.

Antigravity's own Gemini-family surfaces are untouched by design: ~/.gemini as
its configHome parent, ~/.gemini/config for global skills/agents (#3738),
hookEvents "gemini", GEMINI.md as its projectInstructionFile, the
~/.gemini/antigravity{,-ide,-cli} ambiguity probes (#1441), and every gemini-*
model ID. The launcher's own GEMINI_CONFIG_DIR arm is left to #4632, which
absorbed #4347 for it.

* fix(#4709): keep the legacy patches probe, and stop tripping two lint gates

Three review findings, fixed inline.

1. Dropping the global ~/.gemini/gsd-local-patches probe was a regression: a
   pre-#1928 Gemini CLI install put patches there, and a stranded patches dir is
   still the user's work. Restored as an explicitly-labelled legacy arm probed
   AFTER Antigravity, so a live install always wins. This is a directory probe,
   not a runtime home -- it assigns no runtime id, so it does not reintroduce
   the defect this PR closes. The $GEMINI_CONFIG_DIR env probe is deliberately
   NOT restored: that names a runtime config home, which
   tests/declarative-reference-antigravity.test.cjs:307 pins as ignored.

2. The comment added in (1) originally contained the literal string that the new
   structural test matches, so the test flagged its own fix's comment as a mint.
   Reworded. The test was right; a comment in shipped workflow text is as
   readable to a matcher as code is.

3. docs/research/gemini-to-antigravity-migration.md used the colon slash-form
   inside a quoted manifest description. lint-docs-command-form rejects it:
   docs are never passed through the install-time converters, so the colon form
   names a command no runtime registers. Normalised to the hyphen form.

Also verified, rather than assumed: the local scan's .agents entry is
unambiguous. Antigravity is the ONLY runtime declaring localConfigDir '.agents'
across all 19 capability manifests; grok and codex use ~/.agents as a GLOBAL
home, and this scan is local (./$dir).

* fix(#4709): retire Gemini CLI from the PR templates, and close two review gaps

Adversarial review findings, all fixed inline.

1. All three .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/*.md still offered "Gemini CLI" under
   "Runtimes tested", and none offered Antigravity. #1928's follow-up dropped
   Gemini CLI from .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/*.yml but missed the PR templates, so
   every contributor opening a fix/feature/enhancement PR has been asked for two
   releases which runtime they tested and offered a retired one. Now Antigravity.
   Guarded by a new assertion: runtime checklist labels in the PR templates must
   appear in the runtime label table. Proven non-vacuous by reverting one
   template line and watching the probe report the offender.

2. The #4709 scanning corpus excluded agents/, which also ships runtime-loaded
   markdown including .compact.md variants. Widened: 318 -> 382 files (+64), zero
   new offenders, so the gap was coverage rather than a live defect.

3. gsd-core/workflows/sync-skills.md said "grok and gemini have no dedicated
   installer flag — they alias the codex and claude skills roots respectively."
   The gemini half is wrong twice over: the runtime is retired, and it never
   aliased claude -- canonicalizeRuntimeName returns null for it and the caller's
   fail-closed default merely happens to be claude. Describing that as designed
   aliasing is exactly the confusion this issue is about. Reduced to grok, which
   genuinely does alias the codex skills root.

4. The changeset said the runtime was removed in 1.11. It shipped in 1.8.0
   (CHANGELOG.md:1023 is the enclosing release heading for the #1928 entry at
   :1124). Corrected.

* test(#4709): follow the corrected sync-skills prose, and refresh the compact baseline

Three GREEN-run failures, all caused by this PR's own edits.

1. tests/sync-skills-cross-runtime-refuse.test.cjs pinned the literal phrase
   "grok and gemini have no dedicated installer flag" — a test REQUIRING shipped
   text to name a runtime retired in 1.8.0, which is the exact class #4709
   exists to remove. The assertion and its rationale comment now track the
   corrected prose ("grok has no dedicated installer flag"), and the docblock's
   runtime list drops gemini. The remaining assertions in that file — the
   guard's exit, the installer pointer, the $DEST reference, guard-before-copy
   ordering — are untouched, so #3025's contract is otherwise intact.

2. tests/fixtures/compact-content-benchmark-baseline.json drifted because the
   new-project.md edits changed its compacted size (split "new-project": off
   14279 -> 14308, on 12335 -> 12364; aggregate off 107411 -> 107440).
   Refreshed with `node scripts/benchmark-compact-content.cjs --write`, which
   is that script's own documented remedy.

3. emitted-attribution reported four grown workflow files with no
   acknowledgment. Acked below as commit trailers per ADR-3942, which moved the
   acknowledgment out of tests/emitted-drift-acks/*.json fragments and into the
   PR's own commit range (read with three-dot base...head). Exactly the four
   files the gate named are acked — settings-advanced.md and sync-skills.md
   shrank and are deliberately absent, since a trailer no delta consumed is a
   staleAcks error.

Refs #4709

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: ingest-docs.md — the runtime-detection cascade now names Antigravity's three real directories (/.gemini/antigravity{,-ide,-cli}/) and $ANTIGRAVITY_CONFIG_DIR in place of the single retired /.gemini/ arm and $GEMINI_CONFIG_DIR; three correct paths cost more bytes than the one wrong path they replace.
Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: new-project.md — same runtime-detection correction as ingest-docs.md, plus dropping "gemini/" from the two GEMINI.md instruction-file sentences so the prose stops contradicting getProjectInstructionFile, which returns AGENTS.md for that retired id.
Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: reapply-patches.md — restores the legacy ~/.gemini/gsd-local-patches probe as an explicitly-labelled arm after an adversarial-review finding that dropping it stranded a pre-#1928 user's patches, and repoints the env/global probes at Antigravity; the four-line comment is load-bearing, since a bare retired-runtime path with no explanation is exactly what the next reader would delete.
Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: update.md — bare ~/.gemini and ./.gemini as GSD config dirs are replaced by the real ~/.gemini/antigravity and ./.agents, which are longer strings; no content was added beyond the corrected paths.

f334f277dd fix(#4324): stop the retired /gsd: prefix reaching users (#4712)
* test(#4324): prove colon tokens the installer cannot convert leak

Failing-first regression coverage for #4324. The install rewrite
(transformContentToHyphen) is gated on an exact match against the
commands/gsd stem list, so any /gsd:<token> whose token is not a
registered stem survives the install and reaches the user as the
deprecated colon form.

The gate is load-bearing -- it is the only thing protecting the
workflow DSL marker family (gsd:section, gsd:protected, gsd:loop-host,
gsd:guard, gsd:dispatch, gsd:plan-revision-conflicts), which
workflow-fragments parses as a literal. So this suite asserts the
shipped text is convertible rather than asserting the transform is
broad, and pins the marker family as explicit negative space.

* fix(#4324): stop unconvertible colon tokens reaching the user

The install rewrite is gated on an exact match against the commands/gsd
stem list, so a /gsd:<token> whose token is not a registered stem
survives the install and reaches the user as the deprecated colon form.
That gate is load-bearing -- it protects the gsd:section /
gsd:protected / gsd:loop-host marker family -- so the fix is in the
shipped text, and the source stays colon per CONTEXT.md's two-tier rule.

- quick-batch command + skill description: close the command token at a
  boundary so `/gsd:quick`-shaped converts instead of being skipped.
- gsd-code-fixer (both variants): execute-plan and diagnose-issues are
  workflows, not commands, so they never converted and rendered beside
  two hyphenated siblings on the same line. Name them as workflows.
- help topic-mode: the extraction rule hard-coded a colon prefix that
  the converted full.md never ships, so --brief could never match a
  signature line and silently fell back on every topic. Describe the
  signature line without a literal prefix.
- update.md: drop the prefix from prose describing a stale command.

* fix(#4324): locate the help summary per reference variant

Adversarial review finding. Restoring the signature-line match (the
#4324 fix) activated a latent defect in the clause next to it: compact
scope emitted "the single non-blank line immediately after" the
signature, and that clause is only correct for full.md.

full.compact.md puts the summary on the signature line itself, after an
em-dash, and its next non-blank line is an unrelated "Usage:" line. Both
variants ship and both are served, so before this commit the compact
variant would have emitted the wrong line as the summary. It was masked
until now only because the stale colon prefix meant no signature line
ever matched at all.

Name the two placements and pick per line, and say explicitly that a
Usage: line is never a summary.

* test(#4324): de-vacuum the help parity check, narrow the marker waiver

Two adversarial review findings against the #4324 coverage.

The help-parity assertion went vacuous the moment the fix landed: once
topic.md stops spelling a literal prefix, the matched set is empty and
the assertion holds for any rewording, correct or not. It now also
asserts across BOTH served reference variants that each ships signature
lines under the hyphen prefix, that the two genuinely disagree about
where the summary sits, and that topic.md still names both placements
and the Usage: guard.

The marker waiver keyed on "sits inside an HTML comment", which waves
through a real broken reference that happens to be commented out --
`<!-- see /gsd:typo-cmd -->` scored clean. Enumerate the six marker
families instead. Verified the narrowed rule catches that probe and
still passes over the tree; it also surfaced a seventh family,
write-continue, that the broad rule was hiding.

* fix(#4324): normalize the namespace in skill descriptions

Both hyphen-namespace skill converters ran the hyphen transform over the
body but rebuilt the frontmatter description from the raw field, so a
/gsd:<cmd> mention in a command description survived into the installed
SKILL.md -- the exact field the host's skill picker renders, which is
the surface this issue was filed about.

The local flat-command path was already correct because it rewrites the
whole file; only the skills path, used by a global install, was
affected. Confirmed by installing into a fake HOME before and after.

Fixed in both copies: bin/install.js and the src/ source of truth that
compiles into gsd-core/bin/lib.

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

* test(#4324): assert descriptions through the real converters

The previous version of this check called transformContentToHyphen on
the description line itself and passed, while a real install still
shipped the colon form -- the converter never calls that transform on
the description. It asserted a proxy for the behaviour instead of the
behaviour.

Drive convertClaudeCommandToClaudeSkill and
convertClaudeCommandToClineSkill over every registered command and
assert on the emitted description. Verified it fails against the
pre-fix converters and passes against the fixed ones.

* chore(#4324): regenerate skills after the description change

skills/<name>/SKILL.md is generated by gen-plugin-skills, not
hand-maintained, and lint:generated-sync caught the hand edit. The
regenerated file emits the hyphen form, which also corrects the
assumption behind the scan comment in the namespace test: skills/ is
runtime-emitter output, not colon source.

* test(#4324): re-sanction normalizeKimiSkillName's real end line

The description-normalisation fix inserted five lines above
normalizeKimiSkillName in src/runtime-artifact-conversion.cts, moving its
closing brace from 635 to 640. MAJOR-1 pins that line deliberately, so the
planted violation landed INSIDE the exempted body and went unflagged --
0 !== 1.

Re-sanction the value rather than derive it: the array is named
sanctionedRealEndLines, and a pinned line that fails loudly on drift is
the design. Deriving it would remove the human check the name asks for.

Verified by executing all four MAJOR-1 rows against the real tree: each
planted violation is flagged at realEndLine+1 and each unmodified file
stays exempt.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-code-fixer.md — names execute-plan and diagnose-issues as workflows rather than as slash commands that do not exist
Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-code-fixer.compact.md — same rewording as its full sibling, kept byte-consistent with it

c0b2a05d2f fix(#4594): one canonical dispatch-identity owner — the emitted format and the parser that reads it back (#4693)
* fix(#4594): give dispatch identity one owner for the emitted format and its parser

The isolation guards decided whether a run-scoped sentinel applied to a
dispatch by regex-scraping model-authored prose. The scrape returned values in
a different namespace from the ones the sentinel records, so the comparison
could never succeed:

  sentinel  { phase: "03", plan: "03-02-hardening" }   <- $PHASE_NUMBER / $plan_id
  prose     "Execute plan 02 of phase 03-auth."
  scraped   { phase: "03-auth.", plan: "02" }          <- greedy (\S+), both wrong

#4594 reports only the phase half. Measured against a real phase-plan-index
run, plans[].id is phase-prefixed, plan-numbered AND slugged, while the prose
carries a bare in-phase plan number — so the plan field mismatches too, and the
Claude path is dead rather than latent. A fresh sentinel was therefore
discarded on every executor dispatch and every legitimate ISOLATION=none
degrade was denied, leaving the work unrun.

hooks/lib/dispatch-identity.js is now the single owner of both halves. The two
prompt-body producers emit a canonical marker carrying the same shell values
the sentinel records, so producer and consumer agree by construction. The prose
frame stays as a fallback, bounded by the phase-token grammar ADR-2121 owns and
deliberately reporting no plan — an absent identifier means "cannot compare"
and is safe; a wrong one is a false mismatch and is not.

The prose sentence itself is byte-identical: the executor agent reads it too,
so the marker is purely additive (Hyrum's Law).

An inapplicable sentinel is now named in the guards' deny reason instead of
being dropped silently — the silence is why this survived three producers and
two consumers unnoticed. Interpolated values come from a sentinel file and from
prompt text, so both are length-bounded and stripped of control characters.

ADR-4630 locks the seam and maps the epic's three phases.

Refs #4630
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#4594): resolve eight review findings across the dispatch-identity seam

Three orthogonal review engines ran on 43418af144 — the code-review skill's
Standards and Spec axes, and an isolated adversarial security pass — plus a
self-review of the committed diff. Every finding is fixed here; none deferred.

F1 (major, reproduced). A keyless or unknown-key-only marker — the literal
"[gsd:dispatch]" or "[gsd:dispatch run=..]" — matched the marker grammar and
returned source:'marker' with both fields null, suppressing the prose fallback
entirely. Any prompt text containing that literal silently disabled identity
narrowing, so a fresh sentinel applied to a dispatch it was never scoped to,
defeating #3045 SECURITY F2. Prompt text is attacker-influenceable. A marker
that yields neither recognized key is no longer a marker: the scan continues to
later markers, then later texts, then prose. Forward-compatible tolerance of
unknown keys is unchanged.

F2/F3 (major). The first cut duplicated sanitizeForReason,
describeSentinelDiscard and REASON_INTERPOLATION_MAX_LEN byte-for-byte across
both guards — the exact defect class this epic exists to delete, and with no
cold-load justification, since both hooks already require hooks/lib/. They now
live in hooks/lib/isolation-deny-reason.js, and buildSentinelDiscard lives in
isolation-sentinel.js beside the comparison it mirrors, returning the nested
{sentinel:{phase,plan}, dispatch:{phase,plan}} shape instead of a bespoke
four-field bag that renamed the pairs already flowing through the seam.

F4 (hard violation). The visibility test asserted on the deny reason's prose.
CONTRIBUTING.md prohibits raw text matching on hook output, which is why every
deny carries a stable reason_code. The discard is now a structured
sentinel_discarded field on each hook's stdout JSON, and the test asserts that;
the sentence stays for the operator but is no longer the contract.

F5 (hard violation). The 64-character truncation limit had no boundary
coverage. 63/64/65 are now exercised against the single consolidated helper.

F6 (minor). sanitizeForReason stripped C0/C1 controls but not U+2028/U+2029 or
the bidi overrides, so a crafted value could still reflow or reverse the
message. Both classes are stripped, with a test each.

F7 (major). The producer/template parity test was vacuous — it rendered a
marker and re-parsed its own output, and would have passed with both templates
deleted. It now reads the two workflow templates, extracts each marker line,
substitutes the measured values and asserts the owner's parser returns them.
Proven red by deleting one template's marker line before being proven green.

F8 (doc). ADR-4630 and the design notes claimed the marker is guaranteed on the
orchestrator-worktree path because that prompt is built in shell. It is not:
executor-isolation-dispatch.md:131 says plainly that those are template
placeholders, not shell variables, so {plan_id} is model-substituted there too.
A false guarantee in a design lock is worse than a stated limit. Both documents
now say the marker is model-substituted on both paths and that the prose
fallback is the real floor everywhere. The "3 workflow templates" count was
also wrong — 3 prose sites across 2 files, 2 of which carry the marker.

* chore(#4594): refresh the compact-content baseline and acknowledge execute-phase.md growth

Refs #4630.

The dispatch-identity marker and its substitution note grew
gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase.md by 525 bytes (91846 -> 92371), which drifts
two real-tree guards that lint:ci does not run:

- tests/benchmark-compact-content.test.cjs asserts the committed baseline is
  "up to date"; the split for execute-phase.md moved off 25827 -> 25952 and on
  23576 -> 23701, taking its compaction reduction 8.72% -> 8.67%. Baseline
  regenerated with scripts/benchmark-compact-content.cjs --write.
- tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs requires a growth acknowledgment trailer
  for any emitted file that grows, keyed on the bare filename. Added below.

The growth is two additions and no rewrites: the [gsd:dispatch ...] marker line
inside the Agent() prompt's <objective>, and the note telling the orchestrator
to substitute {plan_id} with the plan's id verbatim. Both are load-bearing --
the marker is what lets a guard hook match a dispatch to the sentinel the
per-plan gate wrote, and without the note the orchestrator has no instruction
telling it the value must not be paraphrased.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: execute-phase.md — adds the canonical [gsd:dispatch] identity marker and its {plan_id} substitution note, which the isolation guards compare verbatim against the run-scoped sentinel (#4594)

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

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

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

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

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

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

Manually traced against the current tree: the validating regex at

sites, plus their comment/error-message text), execute-plan.md's plan-filename
extraction, and plan-phase.md's --research-phase flag capture.

Also disambiguates the nsegment-phase-grammar test's plan-phase.md anchor,

db4d8a9bae fix(#4619): execute-phase computes decimal/N-segment phase numbers without breaking shell arithmetic (#4644)
* fix(#4619): execute-phase computes decimal/N-segment phase numbers without breaking shell arithmetic

$((10#${PHASE_NUMBER})) is a hard bash/zsh syntax error when PHASE_NUMBER is
decimal (01.1, from an inserted phase) or N-segment (23.1.2) — neither is
valid shell-arithmetic syntax at all, and the failed expansion aborts the
rest of the snippet in a non-interactive shell. safe_resume_gate runs
unconditionally before trusting STATE.md or dispatching any executor, so
execute-phase failed at its own gate before the first executor on any
decimal phase, regardless of workflow.tdd_mode. Regression from #4194.

Fixes all 4 sites: safe_resume_gate and the TDD gate in
workflows/execute-phase.md, the completion-signal spot-check fallback in
workflows/execute-phase/steps/completion-reconciliation.md, and the
executor gate validation example in references/tdd.md. Each now zero-strips
only the leading integer segment into a *_INT variable (via %%.* / #
parameter expansion — always valid shell syntax regardless of what follows)
and keeps the remainder as an escaped-dot string for the anchored commit-
scope regex, exactly as issue #4619 verified in both bash and zsh. A plain
integer phase (12, 01) computes byte-identically to before.

* test(#4619): pin the decimal/N-segment fix and characterize the pre-fix bug

Behavioral coverage via real bash execution: the old $((10#01.1)) form
throws (characterizes the bug, matching the issue's own reproduction); the
new form resolves 01.1 -> 1\.1 and 23.1.2 -> 23\.1\.2, unchanged for plain
integers (12 -> 12, 01 -> 1); the resulting anchored ERE matches
feat(01.1-03):/test(1.1-3): and correctly rejects feat(01-03):,
feat(01.2-03):, feat(011-03):, feat(12-03): for a decimal phase — mirroring
issue #4619's own verified table exactly. Updates
safe-resume-gate-anchoring.test.cjs's 4 existing source-text assertions
(one per site) to the new fixed text.

* chore(#4634): refine the shell-arith drift detector to distinguish safe from unsafe arithmetic

With #4619's fix in place, the guard's original "ban $((10#... outright,
match any occurrence" was too blunt: it flagged a comment merely mentioning
the pattern in prose, the now-safe $((10#$PHASE_INT)) arithmetic on an
already-%%.*-stripped integer, and the always-safe plan-id arithmetic
(plan ids are plain integers, never decimal). Refines the detector to skip
full-line comments and to only flag a captured variable/placeholder name
that contains "phase" and does NOT end in _INT/_int — the naming convention
the #4619 fix establishes at all four sites for "already reduced to a safe
integer." A plan-id variable was never phase-number arithmetic in the first
place and is excluded on the same basis.

This closes epic #4634's D6 ("lint-phase-id-drift... passes with no new
exemptions") and D7 ("a decimal and N-segment phase id survive an
end-to-end execute-phase selection without error") for real — the guard now
reports zero violations across all five .cts/.md rules.

Review found the anchored-ERE near-miss coverage only exercised the
decimal case (PHASE_NUMBER=01.1); issue #4619's own worked table also
verifies the plain padded-integer case (01 -> PHASE_N=1) against its own
near-miss set (matches 01-03, rejects 01.1-03/011-03/12-03). Adds the

* fix(#4619): correct JS backslash-escaping in safe-resume-gate anchoring test

The test's string-literal assertions for the PHASE_FRAC//./\\.} pattern wrote
only 2 backslash characters in JS source, which single-quoted-string parsing
collapses to 1 real backslash at runtime -- but the workflow/reference files
actually contain 2 raw backslash bytes at that position (needed so bash's
${var//pattern/replacement} produces the correct single-backslash output).
Write 4 backslash characters in the JS source at all 4 occurrences so the
runtime string matches the files' real bytes.

* docs(#4619): note the safe_resume_gate arithmetic growth in the test header

The emitted-attribution gate flags execute-phase.md growing 91253 -> 91846
bytes (593 bytes). The growth is the fix: the safe_resume_gate and TDD RED
block now derive PHASE_INT/PHASE_FRAC before computing PHASE_N, so a
decimal/N-segment phase number (e.g. 01.1, 2.3.1) zero-strips its leading
integer segment via base-10 arithmetic instead of forcing the whole value
through $((10#...)) and hitting a hard shell syntax error on the first dot.

A blank line previously separated the Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth trailer from
the Co-Authored-By trailer below it, which splits git's trailer-block
detection: only the last contiguous non-blank run of Key: Value lines at the
end of a commit message is recognized as trailers, so the growth ack was
silently read as ordinary body text and the differential-attribution gate
failed with the growth unacknowledged. Joining the two trailers into one
contiguous block fixes it.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: execute-phase.md — adds PHASE_INT/PHASE_FRAC derivation to the safe_resume_gate and TDD RED commit-scope grep so a decimal/N-segment phase number zero-strips its leading integer segment via base-10 arithmetic instead of failing on a non-numeric value (#4619)

* test(#4208): replace chmod-based restore-failure injection with a root-proof git shim

`tests/commit-files-deletion.test.cjs`'s two restore-failure tests simulated
an unwritable index via a `post-index-change` hook running `chmod a-w` on
the git dir. That relies on the OS enforcing the *owner's own* permission
bits against itself, which uid 0 (a routine identity inside this repo's
Docker-based gsd-test benches) does not: every DAC check short-circuits true
for root, so the write the chmod meant to block silently succeeds, the
restore comes back clean, and the disclosure/rollback behavior under test
never actually gets exercised.

This is CLAUDE.md's own named anti-pattern for I/O-failure injection
("Cross-platform test IO-failure injection" — chmod tricks fail under root
Docker/CI). It is confirmed as the actual root cause here, not a production
defect: `src/commands.cts`'s `restoreRemovedEntries`/rollback-disclosure
logic (added by #4253, merged just before this run) was hand-traced and
manually reproduced end to end on an unprivileged workstation against a
freshly built `gsd-core/bin/lib/commands.cjs`, and it already produces
exactly the `staging_failed` + "could not be restored" / "could NOT be
restored during rollback" results both tests assert. The other
`post-index-change`-based tests in this file (a `sleep` to force a timeout;
a real `update-index` to flip a restored entry's mode) are unaffected
because neither depends on a permission check — consistent with only the
two chmod-based tests failing on the real remote run.

Replaces the chmod fixture with a fake `git` placed ahead of the real one on
PATH that fails only `update-index --add --cacheinfo` — the one call the
restore makes — unconditionally, regardless of privilege level. Every other
git invocation execs straight through to the real binary, so the rest of
each scenario (`rm --cached`, the restore's own `ls-files` verification,
etc.) is exercised exactly as before.

there is nothing for Windows to re-encode. POSIX behavior is unchanged.

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

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

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

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

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

Fixes #4208

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Both driven; reverting the disclosure fails the new test.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

`next` moved the `new-project` split and the aggregate under this PR's

`next` gained the macOS-specific conformance tier (#4593) after this branch
was cut. Its classifier (`scripts/gen-platform-conformance-tier.cjs --target
macos`) now selects `tests/commit-files-deletion.test.cjs` on the
`chmod-mode-bit` and `symlink-keyword` signals the PR's fixtures carry (the
chmod-driven failed-restore cases and the symlink-to-directory case).
Regenerated with `--target macos --write`; the platform tier was already in
sync. The file was modified, not added, which is why the added-files check
did not surface it.

2cefa5a5ac enhance(#4139): Phase 8 — the toggle becomes discoverable, and the ledger closes (#4587)
* enhance(#4139): Phase 8 — the toggle becomes discoverable, and the ledger closes

ADR-4139's final phase. workflow.compact_content already defaulted to false
(Phase 1's buildNewProjectConfig hardcoded default), but nothing surfaced it:
/gsd-new-project never asked, and /gsd-settings/config had no toggle path for
an already-initialized project — config-set/config-get were the only route.

new-project.md gains a fourth question in the existing Round 2 AskUserQuestion
array (grouped with the other general-workflow-behavior toggles, not the
per-agent capability questions above it) and threads compact_content into the
config-new-project CLI JSON literal. settings.md mirrors the exact pattern
every other non-capability workflow.* key already follows: read_current bullet,
question block, update_config write, the safe-merge non-capability-keys list,
save_as_defaults, and the confirm summary table — seven edits, zero new
src/*.cts code, since Phase 1's merge logic is a generic passthrough. Its
success_criteria question-count ("24 settings") is bumped to 25 to match the
now-25-entry main AskUserQuestion batch.

settings-advanced.md deliberately does NOT get a duplicate question: no other
boolean toggle in this repo is asked in both settings.md and
settings-advanced.md, and there's no reason to start with this one.

docs/CONFIGURATION.md, docs/USER-GUIDE.md, and a new docs/features/4139-compact-
content.md fragment (regenerated into docs/FEATURES.md) document the toggle.

ADR-4139 itself: Status flips Proposed -> Accepted, the acceptance-criteria
section becomes a guard ledger — a 13-row table covering all 12 of #4139's
original checkboxes plus the shipped-content guard criterion, each with real
evidence (the merged PR that satisfied it, fetched via `gh issue view
--json closedByPullRequestsReferences` rather than asserted from phase
numbers) — and both "Open questions for the implementation phases" are
resolved rather than left dangling: discuss-phase was never converted to
spine+detail shape (verified: no detail/ subdir exists) — a genuine gap, not a
reasoned decline; the disjointness check is confirmed line-based by reading
compact-content-split.cjs's normalizeNonTrivialLines directly.

Orthogonal review (isolated Standards/Spec code-review + security-review
sub-agents) found and this fixes two real defects: the changeset fragment's
body didn't match CONTRIBUTING.md's single em-dash-sentence format (was
multi-sentence prose naming implementation file paths); and settings.md's own
success_criteria still said "24 settings" after the new question pushed the
main batch to 25. Also fixed, found by the Spec pass while confirming
commands/gsd/settings.md correctly needed no sync edit: that file and its
skills/gsd-settings/SKILL.md twin both still described "Interactive 5-question
prompt (model, research, plan_check, verifier, branching)", stale since long
before this phase (the batch has had far more than 5 questions for a while) —
replaced with a description that names the current set without hardcoding a
count that will drift again.

gsd-test (real run, sha 1da78fe2) caught a third real regression the local
sweep missed: new-project.md is a registered spine+detail split for Phase 4's
token-reduction benchmark (scripts/benchmark-compact-content.cjs), and the new
question's +167 tokens drifted the committed baseline
(tests/fixtures/compact-content-benchmark-baseline.json). The benchmark itself
is designed never to fail CI on drift, but the test asserting the COMMITTED
baseline is currently non-drifted correctly caught it. Regenerated via
`node scripts/benchmark-compact-content.cjs --write`; re-verified --check now
reports "up to date" and the test file passes 27/27.

Closes #4408.
Closes #4139.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: new-project.md — new 4th Round-2 AskUserQuestion entry (Compact Content, #4139) plus the config-new-project CLI JSON field and explanatory sentence; a new opt-in toggle needs new prose.
Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: settings.md — new workflow.compact_content read_current bullet, question block, update_config write, safe-merge key, save_as_defaults field, and confirm summary row (the same seven-edit pattern every other non-capability workflow.* toggle already follows), plus the 24->25 success_criteria count fix found in review.

ba26aa065d docs(#4467): document fallow's structural-pre-pass has no upper-bound scope (#4574)
* docs(#4467): document fallow's structural-pre-pass has no upper-bound scope

structural-pre-pass.md's FALLOW_SCOPE_ARGS=(--changed-since "$FALLOW_BASE")
derives a correct, phase-anchored LOWER bound (lockstep with Tier 3's own
scope step, #3995), but fallow's --changed-since is one-sided by design --
verified against fallow 2.70.0's own --help: the only other scoping flags
are --changed-workspaces (workspace selection, not a file range) and
--diff-file (its own help text scopes it to line-range refinement within
the hot-path-touched verdict, not general file selection; gsd-core never
uses it). Reviewing an earlier phase after a later one has landed pulls
the later phase's files into the earlier phase's structural audit.

Not fixable inside this file: fixing fallow itself is a third-party
concern, and working around it (e.g. auditing from a temporary worktree
checked out at the phase tip) is disproportionate machinery for what is
supplementary structural-analysis context, not a blocking gate -- both
routes the issue's own analysis already ruled out. Documented the
asymmetry at the point the scope is derived instead, so a future reader
does not assume this step's tip agrees with Tier 3's just because the
base does.

No regression test: documentation-only, no runtime behavior change.

A prior revision of this commit carried an Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth
trailer for this growth -- gsd-test's own emitted-attribution check
rejected it as stale ("written or reworded in THIS diff, but nothing
here needed them"), meaning this file (nested under
gsd-core/workflows/code-review/steps/, unlike a top-level
gsd-core/workflows/*.md file) is not tracked by that specific growth
conservation law. Removed the now-confirmed-unnecessary trailer rather
than guess again -- the test's own verdict is authoritative here, not
a re-derivation of its tracked-path rules.

59da9f016b fix(#4466): bound quick.md's post-execute review scope tip at the task's own last commit (#4571)
* fix(#4466): bound quick.md's post-execute review scope tip at the task's own last commit

The review-scoping step computed CHANGED_FILES as `git diff --name-only
"${DIFF_BASE}..HEAD"`. DIFF_BASE is correctly bound to the quick task's
start (via the oldest QUICK_COMMITS entry's parent), but the tip was bare
HEAD -- unbounded. Anything landing on the shared tree between the task's
own commits and this review step running (a worktree merge-back, another
session sharing the tree) got folded into the quick task's own review
scope.

QUICK_COMMITS (newest-first) already holds the correct tip as its first
line -- read QUICK_TIP from the value already computed, diff against
that instead of HEAD. No new derivation, no new git call.

Added tests/quick-review-scope-tip-bound.test.cjs: extracts the scoping
fence verbatim from quick.md and runs it against a real git fixture
matching the issue's own scenario (quick task's own commit, then a later
unrelated commit on the shared tree). Manually verified watch-it-fail
(bare HEAD includes the unrelated file) / watch-it-pass (bounded tip
excludes it) via direct bash execution before wiring the test file,
since this repo blocks local node --test.

Independent code review caught one drive-by finding: an allow-test-rule
marker copied from a sibling test's pattern was unnecessary here (and
there) -- local/no-source-grep's looksLikeSourcePath only matches
readFileSync targets ending in .cjs/.cts/.js/.mjs/.mts/.ts, never .md,
so the rule can never fire regardless of the marker. Confirmed by
reading eslint-rules/no-source-grep.cjs directly; removed.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: quick.md — the fix adds a QUICK_TIP line and its explanatory comment; not a regeneration artifact, a hand-authored bug fix.

d3e3a8f535 fix(#4460): restore compact-file reachability + fix test stdout capture
Two more gsd-test-surfaced findings:

1. The previous execute-plan.md trim removed the literal
   `summary.compact.md` filename mention, breaking
   tests/compact-content-variant-guard.test.cjs's reachability check
   (ADR-4139 Phase 6): every registered .compact.md variant must be
   named by at least one workflow "spine" file, and execute-plan.md was
   apparently the only spine naming this one. Restored the bare
   filename (kept the shortened surrounding wording) -- read
   tests/helpers/compact-content-variant.cjs's checkReachability/
   isUnprefixedMatch directly to confirm the fix rather than guessing.
   40926 bytes, still 34 under the size cap.

2. The redesigned test (previous commit) still failed: both tiers'
   diagnostic `echo`/`printf "Warning: ..."` lines were mixing into the
   captured stdout the assertions parse as the file list, so
   "--files=src/alpha.js" appeared to produce 2 lines instead of 1.
   Wrapped both tier fences in a `{ ...; } > /dev/null` brace group
   (not a subshell -- REVIEW_FILES still persists to the enclosing
   shell) so only the final printf reaches stdout. Manually re-verified
   both cases against a real git fixture before re-running the suite.

db7a349a8c fix(#4460): trim execute-plan.md under its size budget (unrelated regression)
gsd-test surfaced a SEPARATE, unrelated failure while re-verifying this
branch: tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs found execute-plan.md at
40981 bytes, 21 over the 40960 DEFAULT hard cap. Root-caused (not
assumed): already-merged PR #4540 (enhance(#4139), unrelated to
#4460/#4459/#4461) added two near-identical explanatory parentheticals
about .compact.md template variants across two nearby steps
(user_setup, create_summary), pushing the file over. Confirmed directly
against origin/next independent of any merge with this branch --
`next` itself already carries this.

This branch's fork point predated PR #4540's merge, so gsd-test's
merge-testing against the current next only now surfaced it (merged
origin/next into this branch in a separate commit first -- 0 conflicts,
after discovering and fixing that this worktree's git clone was
SHALLOW, via `git fetch --unshallow`, which is what made a plain `git
merge origin/next` fail with "refusing to merge unrelated histories").

Fixed by trimming the SECOND (of two near-identical) parentheticals in
the create_summary step to a short back-reference to the first -- same
information, no duplication, no cap raised (the test explicitly warns
against raising it). 40931 bytes, 29 under the cap.

5946926b94 fix(#4460): rework test to not depend on Tier 2's broken bash (#4461)
A fresh code-review pass found the test's original approach (concatenate
and execute Tier 1 + Tier 2 + Tier 3 verbatim, matching the issue's own
reproduction) cannot run: Tier 2's own fence -- untouched by this diff --
is not currently parseable bash. Two unescaped `"` inside its embedded
`node -e "..."` regex literal (`raw.replace(/^['"]|['"]$/g, '')`)
terminate the outer double-quoted string early, which breaks bash's
PARSE of the whole concatenated script even though Tier 2's body never
executes under --files. Independently confirmed via manual extraction
and execution before accepting the finding.

This is a real, separately-filed, already-queued sibling issue (#4461,
filed by #4460's own reporter specifically to avoid folding it in here)
-- not fixed in this PR. Instead reworked the test to run only Tier 1 +
Tier 3 verbatim, seeding the Tier-2-equivalent REVIEW_FILES state
directly for the "without --files" case (documented in the module
docblock, explaining why Tier 2 isn't sourced and pointing at #4461).

Also fixed a nit from the same review pass: a code comment overstated
Tier 2's guard as "immediately above" when it's ~150 lines away.

Manually re-verified both test cases against a real git fixture with a
GNU-realpath-compatible `realpath` (matching gsd-test's Linux bench --
this Mac's BSD realpath lacks the `-m` flag Tier 1 uses, a SEPARATE
pre-existing portability gap surfaced during this check, masked on Linux
CI, not touched by this fix) before re-running the full suite.

b1c78f0d2e fix(#4460): gate Tier 3's #2666 cross-check on FILES_OVERRIDE
code-review.md states (line 144) "Skip SUMMARY/git scoping entirely when
--files is provided." Tier 2 honors this via `if [ -z "$FILES_OVERRIDE"
]`, but Tier 3's #2666 SUMMARY/diff cross-check had no FILES_OVERRIDE
reference at all -- reached via `elif [ -n "$DIFF_BASE" ]` whenever
REVIEW_FILES was already non-empty (true under --files, since Tier 1
fills it), so it silently appended the whole phase's changed files onto
an explicit user-supplied file list. --files is documented as the
highest-precedence scoping tier (D-08) and is the flag Tier 3's own
fail-closed path recommends when no reliable diff base is found; a user
narrowing a review to two files silently got the whole phase instead,
and the reviewer agent spent its budget on files nobody asked about.

Gated the elif on the same condition Tier 2 already uses:

  elif [ -z "$FILES_OVERRIDE" ] && [ -n "$DIFF_BASE" ]; then

The issue's own narrowest suggested form, reasoned through against two
alternatives (wrapping the whole Tier-3 fence, or changing the stated
invariant instead) -- both explicitly rejected there for good reasons
concurred with after reading the surrounding code.

Added tests/code-review-tier3-files-override-scoping.test.cjs, mirroring
the issue's own verified reproduction methodology: extracts the Tier
1/2/3 fences VERBATIM from code-review.md (never reimplemented) and runs
them against a real constructed git fixture matching the issue's own
scenario exactly (5 files, a SUMMARY listing only 1). Confirms --files
stays scoped to exactly the requested file, and separately confirms the
#2666 cross-check still widens a genuinely partial SUMMARY scope when
--files is absent (proving this is a gate, not a blanket disable).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* chore(#3418): add changeset fragment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

8bcf633e21 fix(#4554): trim execute-plan.md 21 bytes under its DEFAULT size-tier cap
gsd-core/workflows/execute-plan.md sat 21 bytes over its own DEFAULT-tier
hard cap (40,960 bytes, tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs, ADR-1610) at
next@a27cb6b2fa — introduced by #4540's call-site wiring for the summary.md/
user-setup.md .compact.md variants, which nobody caught crossing this exact
margin before merge. This trips next's own Tests run on every shard/OS
combination, which in turn blocks the repo's Base branch health PR gate
(#4422/#4428) for every open and future PR regardless of that PR's own diff.

Two meaning-preserving trims in the <success_criteria> block: a repeated
parenthetical ("— unless parallel mode (orchestrator handles)", appearing
twice) replaced with a "— same exception" back-reference on its second
occurrence, and one redundant qualifier ("prominently") dropped — its
behavioral content (surface the USER-SETUP.md warning at the TOP of output)
is already fully specified earlier in the same file. 40,981 -> 40,940 bytes,
20 bytes of headroom under the cap. No procedural content lost.

Fixes #4554.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Hash: gsd-core/workflows/execute-plan.md — deliberate content trim to clear the DEFAULT size-tier cap (#4554); not a regeneration artifact, a hand-authored byte reduction.

a27cb6b2fa enhance(#4139): Phase 6 — the lazily-read remainder and the artifact templates (#4540)
* enhance(#4406): the lazily-read remainder and the artifact templates

ADR-4139 Decision 3, Phase 6 of the #4139 Compact Content epic. Covers stream 1b
(gsd-core/workflows/<name>/{modes,steps,templates}/*.md) and stream 4
(gsd-core/templates/**) with a variant-swap mechanism, confirmed with the user:
two independent, complete files per covered path (canonical + .compact.md
sibling), with the gate picking which one gets Read at the call site. This is
a different shape from Phase 5's spine+detail partition, and is safe here
specifically because these files are already reached only by a runtime Read —
a missed Read already means zero overlay content today, with or without
workflow.compact_content, so selecting between two independently-complete
files introduces no new failure mode (documented in
gsd-core/references/compact-content-gate.md's new "Streams 1b and 4" section).

Disposition, after inspecting every candidate rather than trusting a byte-size
threshold (same rigor Phase 5 applied to review.md):

- Stream 1b: 1 of 78 files compacted (help/modes/full.md, a user-facing
  reference doc emitted verbatim, not orchestrator instruction). The other 9
  size-threshold candidates are dominated by fail-closed guards, exact CLI
  invocations, or output-format contracts (AskUserQuestion blocks) — recorded
  not-worth-compacting, same reasoning as Phase 5's review.md.
- Stream 4: a ground-truth reachability audit replaced the initial size-only
  candidate list. Two files (summary.md, user-setup.md) got compact variants;
  a third (spec.md) was drafted, then dropped after discovering its only two
  call sites are eager @-includes, not a runtime Read — stream-1 material
  hiding under gsd-core/templates/, not stream-4's actual mechanism. summary.md
  itself has 3 eager call sites and only 1 genuine runtime-Read call site
  (execute-plan.md); only that one was wired, so the compact variant's savings
  apply to the sequential single-plan execution path only.
- Discovered while auditing reachability: 12 gsd-core/templates/** files with
  zero references anywhere in workflow/agent/command prose, compiled source,
  or tests — dead scaffolding predating this phase. Deleted in this same PR
  per this repo's no-defer policy, after re-verifying against a computed
  path.join(...) pattern (not just a plain-string search) that nearly caused
  two genuinely load-bearing templates (user-profile.md, dev-preferences.md)
  to be misclassified as dead.

New checker (tests/helpers/compact-content-variant.cjs): registration,
reachability, protected-content-preserved, size-smaller — replacing Phase
3/5's disjointness/completeness checks, which assume a partition rather than
two deliberately-overlapping documents. The reachability check's own
"unprefixed match" guard had a real bug (rejected the repo's own
`~/.claude/gsd-core/...` convention), caught by running it against the
already-wired help/modes/full.compact.md pair rather than only synthetic
fixtures — fixed to anchor on the nearest `gsd-core` path segment instead.

Template consumer parity (tests/compact-content-template-variant-parity.test.cjs):
proves each compact variant's `## File Template` fenced block — the actual
output-format contract a generated SUMMARY.md/USER-SETUP.md is parsed
against — is byte-identical to the canonical file, then runs the one real
deterministic consumer (gsd-core/bin/lib/coverage.cjs's classifyContent,
backing `gsd-tools uat classify-coverage`) against content built from that
shared contract.

Added a sibling benchmark script (scripts/benchmark-compact-content-variants.cjs)
rather than extending the existing spine/detail one — different data shape,
and the existing script's own contract deliberately isolates it from a
test-only helper's shape changing.

Emitted-drift acknowledgement: not needed. Every changed/added path in this
diff is hand-authored and present in the diff itself, so diffEmitted's
attribution loop resolves `via` to the path's own source before reaching the
ack-lookup branch (same reasoning Phase 5 verified for its own diff).

* enhance(#4406): address code-review findings on the variant-swap gate

- docs/CONFIGURATION.md and gsd-core/references/planning-config.md's
  workflow.compact_content entries described only the spine+detail mechanism
  (Phase 5) and were missing this phase's variant-swap mechanism and its
  benchmark:compact-content-variants script entirely — required since this
  PR's changeset is type Added (CLAUDE.md's "Missing Docs for Changesets"
  rule). Both now describe both mechanisms and which call sites are wired.
- Added the missing RED^-1/no-op fixture for checkProtectedContentPreserved:
  a canonical file with zero <!-- gsd:protected --> blocks must be a
  no-op, not a violation — the only branch of that function the existing
  fixtures didn't exercise.
- Collapsed findCompactFiles/findMarkdownFiles in
  tests/helpers/compact-content-variant.cjs into one findFilesWithSuffix
  helper — the two were identical recursive walks differing only in the
  extension predicate (minor Duplicated-Code finding).

* fix(#4406): restore copilot-instructions.md, a false-positive dead-template classification

gsd-test caught this, not static analysis: 10 real failures in
tests/copilot-install.test.cjs, tests/installer-migration-install.integration.test.cjs,
and tests/repo-layout.test.cjs — all downstream of bin/install.js's Copilot install
path, which does
fs.readFileSync(path.join(targetDir, 'gsd-core', 'templates', 'copilot-instructions.md'))
after copying gsd-core/templates/** into the target project, then merges it into both
.github/copilot-instructions.md and (local installs) AGENTS.md. The reachability audit
that flagged this file as dead checked src/*.cts and gsd-core/bin/*.cjs but never the
repo-root bin/install.js — a separately maintained installer bundle outside the
src/-to-gsd-core/bin/lib/ compiled-output convention. The fs.existsSync guard around
that read degrades to a silent skip rather than a crash when the template is missing,
which is why this surfaced only once the real E2E install test ran, not from any
static check.

Re-verified the remaining 11 deleted filenames against bin/install.js specifically
(plain substring and quoted-filename search) before trusting that list — all 11 have
zero hits there, confirmed dead by the same standard this one file failed.

Regenerated the installer emitted-tree goldens (tests/fixtures/install-tree/*.json) to
reflect the restored file, and corrected the "Removed" changeset (jolly-lynx-sprint.md)
and the phase design doc from 12 to 11 deleted files.

* fix(#4406): resolve removed-but-needed lint findings on the dead-template deletion

CI's own full-test matrix (not gsd-test's matrix, which does not run this
check) caught 4 more false-positive dead-template classifications via
tests/removed-but-needed-lint.test.cjs / scripts/lint-removed-but-needed.cjs
— a literal, word-boundary basename check across .github/workflows/,
gsd-core/, and docs/ (excluding docs/adr/** and docs/research/**) for every
file a PR deletes. It has no semantic awareness, so a deleted template's
basename colliding with something else entirely still fires:

- claude-md.md: gsd-core/templates/README.md had a stale table row claiming
  /gsd-profile reads this template to generate CLAUDE.md. Verified false (no
  code reads it anywhere, same search that already covered bin/install.js) —
  fixed the row to *(inline)*, matching every other command-generated
  artifact in that table. File stays deleted.
- codebase/testing.md: collided with docs/guides/testing.md, an illustrative
  example row in docs-update.md's sample output table (an unrelated real
  generated-docs path). Swapped the example topic to "contributing" — the
  row is illustrative, any topic works. File stays deleted.
- codebase/architecture.md, codebase/stack.md: collided with docs/reference/
  planning-artifacts.md's directory listing of a user's own generated
  .planning/codebase/architecture.md and stack.md output — the same
  semantic mismatch already investigated and dismissed as unrelated earlier
  in this phase's audit, now caught by a gate instead of judgment. That
  listing repeats across 5 locale copies of the doc.
- continue-here.md: collided with the real .continue-here.md pause-work
  artifact, referenced across 15+ locale and workflow files.

For the last two, the lint's own error message offers "restore the file or
update every consumer in the same commit." Rewording 15+ files across
languages I cannot verify translation quality for, to shave 2 already-tiny
templates that were merely presumed dead, is disproportionate to this PR's
actual scope — restored codebase/architecture.md, codebase/stack.md, and
continue-here.md instead, and corrected docs/ARCHITECTURE.md's Templates
section accordingly.

Final confirmed-dead set: claude-md.md, codebase/concerns.md,
codebase/conventions.md, codebase/integrations.md, codebase/structure.md,
codebase/testing.md, debug-subagent-prompt.md, discovery.md — 8 files, down
from the original 12. Verified locally: GSD_REMOVED_BUT_NEEDED_BASE=next
node scripts/lint-removed-but-needed.cjs now passes clean.

* fix(#4406): split codex-config.test.cjs to fix a genuine Windows CI timeout

Root cause of the `full test (windows-latest, 24, shard 2/3)` failure the
user asked to be actually fixed, not just re-run past: PR #4497 (landed
2026-09-07, one day before this PR's CI run) isolated
tests/codex-config.test.cjs into its own dedicated chunk because its
measured weight (17.87, ~45% of the post-cut Windows budget) made it unsafe
to share a chunk with any other file. That isolation was necessary but not
sufficient — even alone, with zero companion-file contention, the file's
real Windows execution time sits right at the 600s per-chunk ceiling. Two
independent CI runs on two unrelated PRs (this one and #4154) were both
killed within ~1.4s of the identical 600000ms mark — not random contention,
a deterministic near-miss the isolation fix couldn't address because it
never reduced the file's own cost, only removed the risk of a companion
file's cost stacking on top of it (which the PR #4497 comment explicitly
anticipated: "if a future profiling pass genuinely speeds up
codex-config.test.cjs itself, this isolation can be revisited").

The file itself explains why it's this heavy: 11,262 lines / 433 tests / 79
describe blocks, accumulated over dozens of bug-fix PRs (#2695, #2760,
#3245, #3285, #3346, #3426, #3427, #3562, #3566, #3582, #3808, and more),
several of which are explicitly documented as "folded" in from separate
files that were never actually split back out ("Verified non-duplicate
against both the pre-existing target and the other three folded sources").

Split into 4 files by top-level AST statement boundaries (never a naive
column-0 regex — an early attempt at that overcounted 79 apparent
"describe(" matches when only 21 are genuinely top-level; the rest are
nested inside a handful of large folded-in blocks, which a regex can't tell
apart from real top-level statements). Verified lossless twice: the split
script asserts byte-for-byte reconstruction of every source character, and
independently, total test()/describe() call counts match exactly between
the original file and the sum across all 4 new files (433/79 both sides).
Each new file carries the complete original shared header (imports/helpers)
for safety; per-file unused-import warnings from that duplication are
resolved via ESLint-precise alias renames (`{ foo: _foo }`, the standard
form for an intentionally-unused destructured binding — never a bare `{
_foo }`, which would destructure a different, nonexistent property).

No change needed to scripts/run-tests.cjs's ISOLATED_HEAVY_FILES or its
pinned test in tests/run-tests-harness.test.cjs: the file that keeps the
original name (tests/codex-config.test.cjs) is now only ~28% of the
original's size and safely isolated in its own chunk as before; the other
three new files re-enter normal weight-balanced packing, none individually
close to disproportionate. Confirmed no other file hardcodes the hardcoded
filename anywhere that would silently stop these tests from running (the
CI test-selection scripts determine scope algorithmically, not by literal
filename).

66dbb104a0 fix(#4459): anchor update_codebase_map's diff base on the phase directory (#4549)
* fix(#4459): anchor update_codebase_map's diff base on the phase directory

execute-plan.md's update_codebase_map step derived its diff base from:

  git log --oneline --grep="feat({phase}-{plan}):" ... --reverse | head -1

A phase number is unique within a MILESTONE, not a repository (#3995).
`--reverse | head -1` deliberately selects the OLDEST matching commit
subject, so on a milestone that reuses a phase number, the diff base
lands in the PREVIOUS milestone's same-numbered phase -- silently
widening the file list that then drives which .planning/codebase/*.md
files get amended, with no warning and nothing downstream that would
notice.

This is the same defect class already fixed at two other sites in this
repo (code-review.md, structural-pre-pass.md) via a phase-DIRECTORY
anchor instead of a commit-subject grep: PHASE_START = the first commit
that ADDED anything under the phase directory, diffing from its parent
(or the commit itself on a root commit). Mirrored that exact pattern
here rather than inventing a new one.

Added tests/execute-plan-update-codebase-map-diff-base.test.cjs:
static regression guards (old grep gone, new #3995-shaped anchor
present) plus a real-execution test reproducing the issue's own
scenario -- two milestones reusing a phase number with a real
constructed git fixture, extracting and running the step's actual bash
fence, asserting the resulting diff is scoped to the current
milestone's files only.

511c900052 fix(#4458): reuse detectSubRepos for new-project.md's sub-repo detection (#4548)
* fix(#4458): reuse detectSubRepos for new-project.md's sub-repo detection

new-project.md's Step 5.1 (Sub-Repo Detection) ran its own bash predicate:

  find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -not -name ".*" -not -name "node_modules" \
    -exec test -d "{}/.git" \; -print

`test -d` requires .git to be a DIRECTORY. A linked git worktree's .git is
a FILE (a `gitdir: <path>` pointer), so this predicate silently excluded
valid linked-worktree children while still finding ordinary clones.

src/core-utils.cts's detectSubRepos(cwd) already handles this correctly
(fs.existsSync, type-agnostic) but had zero callers anywhere in the
codebase -- orphaned logic the workflow never actually used, despite
duplicating a narrower version of the same check inline.

Wired detectSubRepos into cmdInitNewProject's JSON output as a new
sub_repos_detected field (matching the file's existing pattern of
similar directory-scan-derived fields like has_existing_code/
is_brownfield/has_codebase_map) and replaced the workflow's raw find
fence with a gsd_run query init.new-project call reading that field --
removing the duplicate, narrower detection logic entirely rather than
patching it in place, per the issue's own "reuse a central policy"
framing.

Added the missing .git-as-FILE test case to the existing
tests/core-utils.test.cjs detectSubRepos coverage (proving the helper
was already correct -- the defect was entirely in the unwired workflow
predicate) plus CLI-level end-to-end coverage in
tests/init-manager.test.cjs using a REAL `git worktree add` fixture,
matching the issue's own reproduction steps, alongside an ordinary
child-clone case and a non-repository-directory negative case.

Refreshed tests/fixtures/compact-content-benchmark-baseline.json (gsd-test
caught the drift from new-project.md's byte-count change; the benchmark
script itself always exits 0 -- report, not gate -- but the wrapper test
enforces the committed baseline stays in sync).

* fix(#4458): bound the new git worktree add spawn with a named timeout

CI's lint-tests caught two ESLint findings my local gsd-test run
couldn't see (gsd-test's matrix doesn't run npm run lint:ci -- same gap
already observed on #4456's PR):

- local/no-unbounded-spawn: the new execFileSync('git', ['worktree',
  'add', ...]) call had no timeout, an indefinite-hang risk.
- local/no-adhoc-timeout-literal: my first fix (a bare `timeout: 15_000`
  literal) was itself flagged -- two independent hardcoded copies of a
  guessed timeout can silently drift or collide (this repo hit exactly
  that on 2026-09-06, PR #4428).

Fixed by importing GIT_FIXTURE_TIMEOUT_MS from tests/helpers/timeouts.cjs
-- `git worktree add` checks out files into a new working tree, the same
"construction" weight class as init/config/add/commit that constant
already covers, not plain plumbing (GIT_TIMEOUT_MS's class).

Verified via `npm run lint` directly (clean) before re-running gsd-test.

* fix(#4458): reduce redundant git subprocess overhead in new tests

CI's full-test Windows shard 2/3 failed: chunk 1/9 (306 files) exceeded
its internal 600s budget and was force-killed, with an unrelated file
(codex-config.test.cjs) in flight at the moment of the kill -- meaning
the chunk's AGGREGATE runtime, not any single hang, blew the budget.

This PR's own three new tests each independently called
createTempGitProject() (git init + a commit), and one of them also runs
git worktree add -- real subprocess spawns, each Defender-scanned on
Windows CI (tests/helpers/timeouts.cjs's own documented rationale for
why Windows spawn classes get generous budgets). That's a genuine,
quantifiable overhead addition to the exact chunk that timed out, not
something to wave off as unrelated flake without checking.

Two of the three tests never actually needed a real git repo --
detectSubRepos only inspects a CHILD directory's own .git, never the
root's git state, and the existing SUBCOMMANDS loop earlier in this same
file already proves `init new-project` succeeds against a plain,
non-git createTempProject() fixture. Switched those two tests to the
lighter fixture, leaving only the one test that genuinely needs a real
repo (git worktree add requires one) on createTempGitProject().

147c89a9b8 fix(#4456): forward --ws to every downstream new-milestone.md call (#4545)
* fix(#4456): forward --ws to every downstream new-milestone.md call

new-milestone.md's Step 1 parses --ws <name> into GSD_WS, but each
workflow step's bash fence is a separate shell invocation — GSD_WS set in
Step 1 never survived to Steps 5, 6, or 7. Four call sites never
forwarded it: init.new-milestone (both calls), state.milestone-switch,
and both phases.clear branches. Under GSD_WORKSTREAM env or a stored
session pointer differing from the explicitly requested --ws, every
downstream operation silently operated on the wrong workstream (or root)
instead of the one the caller asked for.

Confirmed --ws is a universally-parsed CLI flag (gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs:
4867, resolveActiveWorkstream) — stripped from argv and written into
process.env.GSD_WORKSTREAM for the rest of that process, so appending it to
ANY gsd_run query call works uniformly. Fixed by persisting GSD_WS to
.planning/.gsd-ws-arg right after Step 1 parses it (mirroring the
established .gsd-outgoing-milestone round-trip idiom this same file
already uses for the identical cross-fence problem), reading it back in
each later step, and appending it unquoted (matching the ${GSD_WS}
splicing convention documented in workstream-flag.md). Cleaned up after
its last use in Step 7.

Bundled, in-scope fixes found while implementing the above (per this
repo's no-defer policy):

- Step 6's phase-archive `git add .planning/milestones/ .planning/phases/`
  hardcoded literal ROOT paths — both directories are workstream-scoped
  (matching cmdMilestoneComplete's established #1911 precedent), so under
  a workstream this staged nothing real. Added phases_dir/archive_dir
  fields to cmdInitNewMilestone and resolved through them instead.
- Step 6's milestone-start commit hardcoded .planning/STATE.md — also
  workstream-scoped, so it would commit the wrong (or a stale) file under
  a workstream. Resolved through init.new-milestone's existing state_path
  field instead; PROJECT.md correctly stays a literal-shaped-but-resolved
  root path (shared, per the #4455 follow-up already merged).
- cmdInitNewMilestone's config_path field: config.json is ALSO a shared
  file (marked `# Shared` in workstream-flag.md's directory diagram, same
  as PROJECT.md) but was resolved via the workstream-aware planningDir —
  fixed alongside cmdInitNewProject's identical instance of the same bug
  (found via grep, matching the precedent from the #4455 follow-up of
  fixing every occurrence of an identically-evidenced bug uniformly).

Verified: direct CLI invocation confirms phases_dir/archive_dir/state_path
resolve into the workstream while project_path/config_path stay root under
GSD_WORKSTREAM=alpha. Manual bash-fence execution of every modified fence
(Step 1 parse+persist, Step 5 forwarding, both phases.clear branches, the
git add fence, Step 7's forward+cleanup, the commit fence) confirms correct
behavior in both flat and --ws modes, including two flags composing
together (--archive-version + --ws; --reset-phase-numbers + --ws).

Rewrote the pre-existing "step 6: commit stages PROJECT.md" test, which
asserted the literal (buggy) --files string verbatim — it now asserts the
resolved paths via a JSON-returning stub, and gained isolated per-test tmp
dirs (the prior version ran with no explicit cwd, at real risk of writing
a stray .gsd-ws-arg into this repo's own .planning/ once Step 1's fence
started performing a real write).

* fix(#4456): Steps 9/10 also commit workstream-scoped files via literal root paths

A fresh isolated code-review pass on the first version of this fix found
the identical bug in two more places, missed in the initial sweep:

- Step 9's requirements commit (`gsd_run query commit ... --files
  .planning/REQUIREMENTS.md`) and Step 10's roadmap commit (`--files
  .planning/ROADMAP.md .planning/STATE.md .planning/REQUIREMENTS.md`)
  both hardcoded literal ROOT paths for files that are workstream-scoped.
- Worse: `.planning/.gsd-ws-arg` was being deleted at the end of Step 7,
  but Steps 9 and 10 run AFTER Step 7 and still needed to re-read it —
  the round-trip mechanism this fix builds was already gone before its
  two remaining consumers ran.

Fixed by moving the `.gsd-ws-arg` cleanup to Step 10 (its true last
consumer, after the roadmap commit) and adding the same
fetch-then-_gsd_field-extract pattern already used in Step 6 to Steps 9
and 10, resolving `requirements_path`/`roadmap_path`/`state_path` through
`init.new-milestone $GSD_WS_ARG` instead of literal paths.

Also fixed (MEDIUM, same review pass): Step 1's `.gsd-ws-arg` write had
no `2>/dev/null || true`, unlike every other round-trip write in this
same file — brought into line with the established idiom.

Verified: reproduced the pre-fix bug directly (Step 9/10 fences echoing
the literal root paths regardless of --ws), confirmed both fences now
resolve the workstream-scoped paths correctly, and confirmed the
round-trip file survives Step 7 and is only removed after Step 10.
Updated the Step 7 test that previously asserted premature cleanup
(inverted to assert the file survives); added new coverage for Steps 9
and 10 in both flat and --ws modes.

Two remaining LOW/pre-existing findings from the same review pass,
deliberately left as-is: `phase_archive_path` (src/init.cts, untouched by
this diff) resolves via the same root-only `getLatestCompletedMilestone`
this fix's earlier commit already declined to touch, for the same
genuine-product-intent-ambiguity reason (workstream-scoped vs
project-pooled "latest completed milestone" is not resolvable from the
code alone). `.planning/research/` staying root-scoped in the #222
self-heal prose is consistent with the existing (unchanged) `research_dir`
field, not a new inconsistency.

* fix(#4456): revert wrong config_path change; fix isolated-cwd test env

gsd-test caught two real regressions from this fix's earlier commits:

1. config_path is NOT shared like PROJECT.md. The prior commit's
   grep-and-replace ("fix six more functions with the identical bug")
   also touched cmdInitExecutePhase's config_path (a fourth call site
   beyond the two I'd manually checked) — but tests/init.test.cjs's
   pre-existing, ADR-0006-governed "init handlers honor GSD_WORKSTREAM"
   coverage explicitly asserts config_path IS workstream-scoped for
   execute-phase/plan-phase/phase-op/milestone-op. workstream-flag.md's
   "# Shared" marking for config.json is stale (the same class of
   staleness already found for milestones/ during the #4455 follow-up);
   ADR-0006 plus its real, passing tests is the authoritative source.
   Reverted config_path to the plain workstream-aware planningDir(cwd)
   in all four functions it was wrongly changed in.

2. Isolating cwd to a tmpDir (needed once Step 1's fence started
   performing a real .gsd-ws-arg write) broke the runtime-launcher
   preamble's own gsd-tools.cjs discovery — no git repo at an isolated
   tmpDir, no global gsd_run on the CI bench's PATH. Fixed by passing
   RUNTIME_DIR explicitly in every isolated-cwd test's env, matching
   the preamble's own documented override precedence.

Verified: direct CLI invocation confirms execute-phase's config_path is
workstream-scoped again under GSD_WORKSTREAM=wsx; the RUNTIME_DIR fix
confirmed against a stripped PATH (no global gsd_run), matching the
bench condition that surfaced the original failure.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: new-milestone.md — #4456 forwards --ws to every downstream gsd_run call across 7 fences (Steps 1/5/6x3/7/9/10), adding a persisted round-trip file plus resolved-path fetches that replace several hardcoded literal paths

* fix(#4456): baseline the 10 new SC2086 findings from --ws forwarding

The lint-tests CI job failed with a hard exit 1. Diagnosis (not assumed):
the log's two `fatal: ambiguous argument 'origin/next...HEAD'` git errors
(lines 244/248) are a red herring — both belong to
lint-removed-but-needed.cjs, which prints its own "could not resolve
origin/next, skipping" message and exits gracefully, exactly like the
already-handled two-dot-form error from lint-fix-has-regression-tests
earlier in the same log. Neither contributes to the actual failure.

The real cause is lint-workflow-shellcheck: this fix's new fences append
$GSD_WS_ARG unquoted to gsd_run calls (deliberately, so it splits into 0
or 2 argv tokens — the same idiom gsd-core/workflows/verify-work.md
already uses for ${GSD_WS} and already has baselined). ShellCheck
correctly flags each as SC2086, and lint-workflow-shellcheck.cjs's
baseline is a deliberate ratchet (#4109) requiring new findings to be
explicitly accepted, not auto-passed. new-milestone.md previously had
zero baselined SC2086 findings, so all 10 new (correct, intentional)
occurrences were reported as new and failed the gate.

Added 10 {file, code, message} entries to
scripts/lint-workflow-shellcheck-baseline.json for
gsd-core/workflows/new-milestone.md's SC2086 findings, matching the
established, already-accepted precedent for the identical pattern in
verify-work.md. No source or workflow file changed.

c6df4e1e46 fix(#4455): autonomous.md and complete-milestone.md resolve STATE/ROADMAP/MILESTONES/PROJECT/REQUIREMENTS through the workstream-scoped init fields (#4542)
* fix(#4455): thread workstream-scoped paths through autonomous and complete-milestone workflows

autonomous.md and complete-milestone.md read/wrote hardcoded literal
`.planning/STATE.md` / `.planning/ROADMAP.md` / `.planning/milestones/...`
paths in their shell fences, bypassing workstream scoping entirely. With
GSD_WORKSTREAM=alpha set, planningDir(cwd) correctly resolves into
workstreams/alpha/, but a literal `cat .planning/STATE.md` still read the
ROOT file (or silently returned empty if root state was absent) --
reproduced deterministically in the issue's own repro.

Root cause: each workflow step's bash fence is a separate shell
invocation, and cmdInitManager/cmdInitCompleteMilestone's JSON payloads
never carried resolved state_path/roadmap_path/archive_dir fields for the
workflows to extract -- unlike cmdInitPlanPhase, which already does this
correctly and is the pattern this fix mirrors.

- src/init.cts: cmdInitManager and cmdInitCompleteMilestone now emit
  state_path/roadmap_path (workstream-scoped via planningDir(cwd),
  existence-checked, toPosixPath'd, null when absent -- identical to
  cmdInitPlanPhase's existing contract) and archive_dir (the milestone
  archive directory, composed the same way milestone.cts's already-correct
  archive helper does per #1911).
- autonomous.md: discover_phases and iterate now extract state_path via
  the already-fetched INIT_MANAGER payload instead of hardcoding
  `.planning/STATE.md`; iterate's second, previously-separate hardcoded
  read is folded into the same fence (no double-fetch); lifecycle step 5b
  checks the resolved archive_dir instead of a hardcoded milestones path.
- complete-milestone.md's reorganize_roadmap_and_delete_originals step
  (which previously called no init command at all) now fetches
  init.complete-milestone and uses the resolved roadmap_path/state_path/
  archive_dir for the backlog read, the write-guard sentinel's armed
  content, the Write-tool target for the reorganized ROADMAP.md (the
  sentinel fence now echoes the resolved path so the executing agent can
  see it), and the safety-commit --files list. `.planning/MILESTONES.md`
  and `.planning/PROJECT.md` stay literal root paths -- documented shared
  files, per the issue's explicit "not a blanket replacement" scope.

Regression tests extract and execute the real bash fences (with a stubbed
gsd_run) rather than string-matching the markdown, covering flat mode
(unaffected), an active workstream (the issue's own repro shape, now
correctly resolving), the no-double-fetch requirement, and a dedicated
guard locking MILESTONES.md/PROJECT.md as shared.

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

* fix(#4455): close write-guard gap on workstream-scoped curated paths

Isolated security review of the #4455 fix (workstream-scoped STATE/
ROADMAP/milestone-archive path resolution in autonomous.md and
complete-milestone.md) flagged that hooks/gsd-write-guard.js's
CURATED_PATTERNS only matched root-level .planning/ paths, never
.planning/[<project>/]workstreams/<ws>/... — meaning the catastrophic-
shrink guard silently never engaged for a workstream-scoped write.
This is directly relevant here: the #4455 change makes a workstream-
scoped ROADMAP.md Write reachable via complete-milestone.md's own
explicit sentinel-hatch instructions, which assume guard protection
that did not actually exist for that path shape. Extended
CURATED_PATTERNS with the three workstream-scoped equivalents;
consumeSentinelFor's own path-derivation logic needed no change since
it derives from the actual write target. Verified empirically (a
293->16 line workstream ROADMAP.md shrink now correctly returns
exit 2 / decision:"block") and with 5 new regression tests.

Also addressed a code-review nit on the core #4455 fix:
cmdInitCompleteMilestone called planningDir(cwd) three separate
times instead of caching it once.

Accepted as-is (not fixed): complete-milestone.md's
reorganize_roadmap_and_delete_originals step re-fetches
`gsd_run query init.complete-milestone` three times across its
fences rather than merging the first two (no state-changing Write
between them, unlike autonomous.md's iterate step which does merge).
This is an efficiency nit, not a correctness bug — merging risks
disrupting the step's prose flow and its existing binding test for a
non-functional gain.

* docs(#4455): add changeset for the write-guard workstream-scope fix

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

* fix(#4455): fix gsd-test-surfaced regressions from workstream-path fix

Running gsd-test against the full #4455 diff (including the write-guard
security fix and the cmdInitCompleteMilestone caching nit) surfaced four
real, non-flaky failures, all direct consequences of editing
gsd-core/workflows/autonomous.md and complete-milestone.md:

1. tests/autonomous-converge.test.cjs pinned the OLD hardcoded
   `STATE_CONTENT=$(cat .planning/STATE.md ...)` read in both
   discover_phases and iterate. That is exactly the literal-path
   behavior #4455 fixes, so the test needed updating to assert the new
   init.manager-resolved `STATE_PATH` read instead (with an explicit
   doesNotMatch guard against regressing to the old literal).

2. tests/workstream-scoped-paths.test.cjs's own "no-double-fetch" test
   counted gsd_run invocations via a shell variable incremented inside
   the stub function — but `INIT_MANAGER=$(gsd_run ...)` runs gsd_run
   inside the command-substitution SUBSHELL, so that increment never
   survives back to the parent shell and the counter always read 0.
   Switched to a file-based call log (one byte appended per call),
   which survives the subshell boundary.

3. tests/compact-content-partition-guard.test.cjs's disjointness check
   flagged the reorganize_roadmap_and_delete_originals step's new
   `INIT_CM=$(gsd_run query init.complete-milestone)` fetch (added 3x,
   per the accepted-as-is disposition in the prior commit) as
   byte-identical to a pre-existing, unrelated fetch already present in
   complete-milestone/detail/elaboration.md's handle_branches section
   (§2). Same idiom, same conventional variable name, coincidentally
   colliding across the spine/detail split boundary. Renamed the new
   step's local variable to INIT_REORG — a distinct, purpose-specific
   name is arguably better practice anyway for two logically unrelated
   fetches, and it removes the literal collision honestly rather than
   restructuring the split.

4. tests/benchmark-compact-content.test.cjs reported real byte-count
   drift in the committed baseline (autonomous.md and
   complete-milestone.md both grew from the #4455 content). Refreshed
   via `node scripts/benchmark-compact-content.cjs --write`.

Verified: node scripts/benchmark-compact-content.cjs --check now
reports the baseline up to date; a standalone invocation of
checkDisjointness() against the real repo state now reports zero
violations across all 6 registered splits; manual bash-fence execution
of both the autonomous.md iterate fence (call count = 1) and the
complete-milestone.md backlog fence (with INIT_REORG) confirms correct
behavior.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: autonomous.md — #4455 workstream-scoped STATE.md path resolution replaces hardcoded literal reads

* fix(#4455): MILESTONES.md/PROJECT.md/REQUIREMENTS.md are workstream-scoped too, and so is project-only mode

Fresh isolated code-review and security-review passes against the full
diff (run after the previous gsd-test-surfaced fixups landed) each
found one real, confirmed defect:

Code review: the safety-commit `--files` list and the REQUIREMENTS.md
`git rm` step both hardcoded `.planning/MILESTONES.md`,
`.planning/PROJECT.md`, and `.planning/REQUIREMENTS.md` as literal
root paths — but src/milestone.cts's cmdMilestoneComplete writes
MILESTONES.md via `planningPaths(cwd).planning` (the workstream base)
and PROJECT.md/REQUIREMENTS.md resolve the same way through
`planningPaths().project`/`.requirements` (src/planning-workspace.cts).
Only `todos` is the documented root-scoped exception (#4256); an
earlier version of this fix wrongly generalized that exception to
MILESTONES.md/PROJECT.md too, and the now-corrected test previously
enshrined that wrong behavior as intended. Under an active workstream,
the safety commit would have silently missed the actual files
`milestone complete` just wrote, and the git-rm step would have
targeted the wrong (root) REQUIREMENTS.md entirely. Fixed by exposing
`milestones_path`/`project_path`/`requirements_path` from
init.complete-milestone (src/init.cts) and resolving all three through
them, the same pattern already used for state_path/roadmap_path/
archive_dir. The four remaining literal MILESTONES.md/PROJECT.md
mentions elsewhere in complete-milestone.md (lines ~12-13, ~441, ~607,
~662) are display-only prose in status/summary message templates, not
actual file operations — left as-is; they are a cosmetic path-display
inaccuracy under an active workstream, not a data-integrity bug like
the two fixed here.

Security review: confirmed the write-guard fix from the prior commit
is correct and complete for workstream scoping, and independently
surfaced the same project-only gap the code-review pass above also
caught structurally: `CURATED_PATTERNS` had no pattern for
`.planning/<project>/...` (GSD_PROJECT set, GSD_WORKSTREAM unset) —
planningDir(cwd) supports that shape independently of workstream
nesting, so it is reachable, not hypothetical. Fixed by adding three
more patterns, verified empirically (a project-scoped 292->16 line
ROADMAP.md shrink now correctly returns exit 2 / decision:"block")
and with 6 new regression tests.

Verified: manual bash-fence execution of the corrected commit-files
and requirements-rm fences (both flat mode and GSD_WORKSTREAM=alpha)
resolves to the right paths in both cases; a standalone invocation of
checkDisjointness() against the real repo state still reports zero
violations; the benchmark baseline was refreshed again for the further
size change (already covered by the existing Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth
trailer on complete-milestone.md two commits back — that trailer is
read over the whole merge-base..HEAD range, not per-commit, so it
still applies here).

pr: 0 -> pr: 4542 for both fragments, and updated both bodies to
reflect the final fix scope (MILESTONES/PROJECT/REQUIREMENTS are

also covers project-only scoping, not just workstream nesting).

* fix(#4455): lifecycle-5b archive-path assertions use the fence's own separator, not path.join

PR CI's windows-latest shard 3/3 failed: "expected ls to find the root
archive file, got: ...\milestones-root/v1.0-ROADMAP.md". The
autonomous.md lifecycle step 5b fence composes the checked path with a
literal bash `/` (`"${ARCHIVE_DIR}/v${milestone_version}-ROADMAP.md"`),
which on Windows yields a MIXED-separator path — Windows backslashes
from archiveDir plus one trailing `/`. My test's assertion used
path.join(archiveDir, 'v1.0-ROADMAP.md') instead, which on a Windows
Node process produces an all-backslash path that never matches the
fence's mixed-separator output. Both assertions in that describe block
now mirror the fence's own literal `/` concatenation
(`${archiveDir}/v1.0-ROADMAP.md`) instead of path.join — matching the
style the other two describe blocks in this same file (safety-commit
--files list) already used correctly for the identical archive-dir
pattern, so this brings the one outlier into line rather than
introducing a new idiom.

* fix(#4455): write-guard sentinel comparison now realpath-resolves the token, not just the target

PR CI's macos-latest full-test shard 2/3 failed a #4455 test: "the
sentinel hatch ... unblocks a workstream ROADMAP.md write" got status
2 (still blocked) instead of 0.

Root cause, unrelated to the Windows fix in the previous commit:
hooks/gsd-write-guard.js's main flow realpath-resolves the Write
TARGET before the curated-pattern match (round 9 Minor 1's
symlink-before-match fix, `filePath = fs.realpathSync(filePath)`), but
consumeSentinelFor resolved the sentinel TOKEN's absolute path via
plain path.resolve() with no realpath step. On macOS, os.tmpdir()
resolves through a /var -> /private/var symlink, so a test's cwd
(lexically under /var/folders/...) and its realpath'd target
(/private/var/folders/...) diverge — an armed, correct sentinel then
never matches the realpath'd target string, and the guard stays
incorrectly blocked. This is not macOS-specific in principle: ANY cwd
sitting under a symlink (a symlinked project checkout, a symlinked
worktree) hits the same asymmetry — gsd-test's Linux bench runs never
caught it because /tmp there is not a symlink.

Fixed by applying the same fs.realpathSync (with the same
keep-lexical-on-failure fallback the caller already uses) to the
token's resolved path before comparing. The named file is already
known to exist at this point (the caller only reaches consumeSentinelFor
after successfully reading the target), so realpath is expected to
succeed in the legitimate case; a garbage/mismatched token still fails
safe (verified — falls back to the lexical path, still mismatches,
stays blocked).

Verified: reproduced the exact bug locally (macOS) via os.tmpdir()
before the fix, confirmed it resolves after; the negative case
(sentinel armed for a DIFFERENT file) still correctly blocks; the
pre-existing relative-token sentinel tests (predating #4455) still
pass; a garbage/non-existent token still fails safe. Added a
deterministic, cross-platform regression test using an explicit
symlink (skipped on Windows, matching the existing round-9 symlink
test's own skip condition) so this class of bug is caught by
gsd-test's Linux bench too, not only by a real macOS CI run.

78013b3b74 fix(#4447): classify mixed structural+transient planning commits as a 5th arm (#4537)
* fix(#4447): classify mixed structural+transient planning commits as a 5th arm

pr-branch.md's analyze_commits step computed only NON_PLANNING and
STRUCTURAL per commit -- never a total planning-file count -- so its four
classification arms assumed every planning-only commit was either wholly
structural or wholly non-structural. A commit touching both a structural
.planning/ path and a transient/other one matched no arm, and the
ambiguous prose let an LLM executing the workflow silently drop it,
breaking STATE.md's per-commit revision chain in default mode.

Adds an explicit PLANNING_COUNT variable and rewrites the four arms into
five, each with an exact computable condition. The new "mixed planning
commit" arm (structural + transient/other, no code) gets the same
treatment mixed code+planning commits already get: INCLUDE, relying on
create_pr_branch's existing universal per-commit filter to strip the
transient/other paths -- no new filtering logic needed.

tests/helpers/pr-branch-filter.cjs's classifyCommit already returned
'include' for this shape (no upper bound on its structural check); the
defect was entirely in the workflow's own prose spec, which is what an
executing agent actually reads. New tests pin both: classifyCommit's
already-correct behavior (tests 49-50), and a failing-first assertion
that analyze_commits computes an explicit planning-total signal (test
51, fails against the pre-fix text).

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

* fix(#4447): address code-review findings on the mixed-planning arm

- Correct the mixed-planning arm's prose: create_pr_branch's universal
  filter only strips the TRANSIENT_DIRS subset, not the "other" bucket
  (config.json, intel/, etc.) -- that subset is preserved, not filtered,
  same as default mode already does for it on any commit.
- Fix the "Mixed planning commits" display line to use the same
  mode-conditional bracket form as "Structural planning commits" --
  it was hardcoding "included" even though the arm is EXCLUDE in strict
  mode, which would have misled a strict-mode user.
- Tighten test 51's regex from unanchored /PLANNING_COUNT=/ to
  /^PLANNING_COUNT=\$\(/m so it requires the real shell-assignment
  shape, not just the substring appearing anywhere in prose.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: pr-branch.md — growth is this PR's own #4447 fix (5th classification arm with explicit computable conditions), not incidental drift

* fix(#4447): bound test 51's regex quantifier (local/no-unbounded-quantifier)

lint:ci flagged the unbounded [\s\S]*? over readFileSync content as a
catastrophic-backtracking risk (CWE-1333 class). Bounded to {0,20000},
comfortably larger than the analyze_commits step's actual size.

* fix: eliminate SIGPIPE race in gsd-validate-commit.sh subject/config extraction

Discovered while verifying an unrelated PR (#4447): tests/hooks-opt-in.test.cjs's
"a git-GENERATED subject is never measured against the supplied message
(round 7)" test intermittently got r.status===141 instead of the expected 2
for the --fixup=HEAD case, on a run where the identical code had passed
cleanly moments earlier -- confirming a timing race, not a deterministic
bug in the test's own assertions.

Root cause: gsd-validate-commit.sh runs under `set -euo pipefail` and
extracted the commit subject via `SUBJECT=$(echo "$MSG" | head -1)` (two
call sites) and the opt-in ENABLED flag via `$(printf '%s\n' "$CONFIG_OUT"
| head -1)`. `head -1` closes its read end as soon as it has one line; a
real commit message or multi-command-type CONFIG_OUT is multi-line, so the
writer can receive SIGPIPE (exit 128+13=141) if its write lands after that
close. Under pipefail this is NOT suppressed -- it aborts the whole hook
instead of the intended exit-2 rejection.

Fix: replace both patterns with pure bash parameter expansion
(`${VAR%%$'\n'*}`) -- zero subprocesses, zero pipe/race surface, and
behaviorally identical to `head -1` for single-line, multi-line, and
trailing-newline input (verified directly). The third similar pipe
(`tail -n +2` feeding a `while read` loop that drains to EOF) is a
different, race-free shape and was left alone.

Regression test is a static, by-construction assertion (per this repo's
policy against forcing scheduling races to reproduce deterministically):
the vulnerable pipe patterns must be absent from the shipped script, and
the parameter-expansion forms must be present.

This overrides one-concern-per-PR per CLAUDE.md's Defects & Warnings
policy -- a genuine defect discovered mid-work is fixed inline, not
deferred to a separate issue.

Code review found the test's original exact-string regexes would miss a

(extra whitespace, an appended 2>/dev/null). Broadened to content-tolerant
but still $(...)-wrapped regexes (bounded quantifiers per
local/no-unbounded-quantifier) -- verified against both the current file
(no false positive, including the fix's own explanatory comments that
quote the bare unwrapped pattern in prose) and a synthetic reformatted
reintroduction (correctly caught).

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

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

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

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

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

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

Makes all 8 RED assertions from the prior commit pass.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

8b7a0b696b enhance(#4139): Phase 2 — one shared gate, one pilot split, one accuracy spot-check (#4471)
* enhance(#4402): split plan-phase into a spine + detail, add the shared compact-content gate

ADR-4139 Decisions 3-5, Phase 2 of the #4139 Compact Content epic. Pilot
split for plan-phase.md, the largest of the 58 eagerly-@-included workflow
files (98,290 bytes): the spine keeps every happy-path step, every
protected-content block (planner/checker prompt templates, quality gates,
the failing-direction few-shot example, the two ScheduleWakeup guardrail
paragraphs — each marked with a <!-- gsd:protected --> sentinel), and
condensed one-paragraph summaries of five rare/opt-in fallback paths
(planner and checker filesystem-hang recovery, phase-split recommendation,
source-audit gaps, the thinking-partner conditional, and plan bounce). The
full text of those five moves verbatim to gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/detail.md
(9.9KB, well under the 32,768-byte NEW_FILE_CAP), read by the spine only
when workflow.compact_content is false (the default) — the exact same
resolution rule now stated once in the new shared
gsd-core/references/compact-content-gate.md, which every future split
references instead of restating.

Verified mechanically (tests/plan-phase-compact-split.test.cjs, scoped to
this one split — Phase 3/#4403 owns the generalized guard): the union of
spine + detail contains every non-trivial line the parent commit carried
(0 missing), no non-trivial line is duplicated between them (0 duplicated),
and every declared protected block is well-formed and non-empty. The spine
shrinks from 98,290 to 93,206 bytes (-5.2% of the eager-window cost this
epic exists to reduce); detail.md's 9,853 bytes are only ever paid by a
project that has NOT opted in.

Verified live, end to end, twice, against this actual repo (not a
synthetic fixture) — real gsd-planner and gsd-plan-checker subagent
spawns, real PLAN.md output:
- workflow.compact_content=false: planned a real disposable phase
  (a docs/how-to page for enabling the key itself); planner returned
  PLANNING COMPLETE, checker returned VERIFICATION PASSED, all fact-checks
  against real repo state confirmed.
- workflow.compact_content=true (detail.md never read): planned a second
  real disposable phase; planner returned PLANNING COMPLETE with
  frontmatter.validate and verify.plan-structure both clean, again fully
  grounded against real repo state. The five condensed fallback sections
  were independently re-read spine-only and confirmed sufficient to act on
  correctly without detail.md's elaboration.

Also drafts gsd-core/references/compact-content-protected-content.md — the
protected-content category list and <!-- gsd:protected --> sentinel syntax
ADR-4139 Decision 5 calls for, written to move to Phase 3 (#4403) unchanged
once it lands there.

* fix(#4402): move detail.md into the ADR-4139-mandated detail/ subdirectory

Two independent review sub-agents (Standards and Spec axes of /code-review)
caught the same structural defect: ADR-4139 Decision 6 mandates
gsd-core/workflows/<name>/detail/*.md ("one or more parts... individually
skippable"), and this PR had shipped a flat plan-phase/detail.md instead,
copying issue #4402's own (inconsistent) restatement rather than the
locked ADR text. Fixed by git-mv to plan-phase/detail/elaboration.md and
updating every cross-reference (the spine's step 0.5 gate pointer, the
shared compact-content-gate.md's own resolution-rule wording, and the
completeness test's path constants).

Also, from the same review pass:
- docs/CONFIGURATION.md and gsd-core/references/planning-config.md's
  workflow.compact_content rows said "nothing branches on it yet" — no
  longer true now that plan-phase.md's spine does. Updated both to name
  plan-phase as the pilot and note the rest of the corpus is still pending.
- Regenerated all 19 tests/fixtures/install-tree/*.json golden fixtures
  (npm run gen:install-tree) — the three new shipped files were missing
  from the installer emitted-tree goldens.
- Found via a cache-busted `eslint . --max-warnings 0` (this repo's
  eslint --cache has produced false-greens before): the split test's
  `git show` call had a bare `timeout: 10000` literal, tripping
  local/no-adhoc-timeout-literal. Extracted to the existing GIT_TIMEOUT_MS
  constant from tests/helpers/timeouts.cjs instead of a second guessed
  copy of the same class of timeout.

Verified NOT needed, by tracing the actual mechanism rather than asserting
(tests/helpers/emitted-provenance.cjs's gsd-core-verbatim rule attributes
every gsd-core/{workflows,references}/** path to itself as an identity
source): an Emitted-Drift-Ack-Hash/-Growth trailer. Every changed/added
path in this diff is hand-authored and present in the diff itself, so
diffEmitted's attribution loop resolves `via` to the path's own source
before ever reaching the ack-lookup branch — there is no unattributed
delta to acknowledge. The spine also shrank (98,290 to 93,206 bytes), so
the growth ratchet has nothing to ack either.

Re-verified after these changes: the completeness/disjointness self-check
(0 missing, 0 duplicated) still holds against the relocated detail file,
and a full `npm run lint:ci` passes clean with the eslint cache cleared.

* fix(#4402): restore literal content the pre-existing drift guards pin on

The first gsd-test run against this split (19 failures) surfaced real
regressions: several pre-existing structural guards pin the EXACT text
of the sections this split condensed, and paraphrasing broke them.

- tests/plan-phase-drift-guard.test.cjs expects the literal
  `DISK_PLANS=$(gsd_run query find-phase ...)` bash assignment inside
  plan-phase.md itself, not a prose description of the same check.
  Restored the exact line into both §9a and §11a's spine summaries.
- tests/thinking-partner.test.cjs expects plan-phase.md to literally
  offer "No, I'll decide" as the skip option. Restored that exact
  phrase into the condensed thinking-partner paragraph.
- Both restores would have duplicated the same text into
  plan-phase/detail/elaboration.md (which still carries the full
  elaboration). Removed the now-redundant restatements from the
  detail file instead of leaving them duplicated — the spine already
  computes DISK_PLANS before the detail elaboration is ever read, so
  the detail file references it rather than recomputing it.
- Re-running scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs after that edit found
  the canonical gsd_run preamble had also become an unintentional
  spine/detail duplicate (both files call gsd_run and each is
  required, by runtime-launcher-parity's own contract, to carry its
  own copy). That's sanctioned duplication under a DIFFERENT
  contract, not lost/copy-pasted content, so
  tests/plan-phase-compact-split.test.cjs now excludes it from the
  disjointness check the same way it already excludes trivial
  fences/headings.
- Applied the adversarial-review finding on tests/plan-phase-compact-split.test.cjs's
  own isTrivial(): a blanket `line.length <= 15` cutoff silently
  swallowed real content (e.g. the 14-char `<quality_gate>`
  sentinel). Replaced it with a specific bare-label-line pattern
  (`Options:`, `Display banner:` etc.) — verified 0 missing / 0
  duplicated against the actual split, an improvement over both the
  original cutoff and a naive full removal (which produces
  false-positive "duplicates" on generic recurring labels).
- gsd-core/references/planning-config.md's own workflow.compact_content
  row used `/gsd-plan-phase` (hyphen). That file is Claude-facing
  source text (gsd-core/references/), which tests/slash-command-namespace.test.cjs
  requires in colon form; docs/CONFIGURATION.md's use of the hyphen
  form is correct as-is since docs/ is human-facing and outside that
  test's scanned directories. Fixed to `/gsd:plan-phase`.
- tests/plan-phase-compact-split.test.cjs's own `git show` of the
  parent commit failed inside the gsd-test sandbox ("detected dubious
  ownership") because the checkout is mounted under a UID the
  invoking user doesn't own. Scoped `-c safe.directory=<repo-root>`
  to that one git invocation rather than touching global git config.
- docs/INVENTORY.md still had one outstanding "detail.md part" wording
  fix from the earlier adversarial-review pass, staged now.

Re-verified locally against the exact assertions in all four affected
test files (all pass) before dispatching a fresh gsd-test run — no
change here should have broken any of the other 18 gates; `npm run
lint` is clean with the eslint cache cleared.

* fix(#4402): restore the full marker enumeration to §9a's spine trigger line

The isolated Spec-axis review flagged that §9a's "Triggered when" line was
condensed to "Agent() returns but the return contains no recognized
marker" — dropping the literal `## PLANNING COMPLETE` / `## PHASE SPLIT
RECOMMENDED` / `## ⚠ Source Audit` / `## CHECKPOINT REACHED` /
`## PLANNING INCONCLUSIVE` enumeration, which is exactly the "machine-
parsed structural headings" category compact-content-protected-content.md
lists as protected. The load-bearing use of that same list (the
gsd_stall_watch call and the Handle Planner Return bullets a few lines
above) was never touched — only this one descriptive restatement was
genericized — but leaving any instance of a protected category
unsentineled is the silent erosion ADR-4139 Decision 4(c) warns
sufficiency isn't machine-checkable enough to catch on its own. Restored
the full enumeration into the spine.

That reintroduced an exact duplicate into plan-phase/detail/elaboration.md,
which still stated the same trigger sentence verbatim. Reworded the
detail file's version to reference the spine's trigger condition instead
of restating it, since the spine is now the single place that sentence
lives in full — mirroring the DISK_PLANS/"already computed above" pattern
from the previous commit.

Re-verified locally: completeness/disjointness (0 missing, 0 duplicated)
and all previously-fixed literal-content assertions still hold.

476394689a fix(#4254): pin sequential executor to the orchestrator's validated root (#4476)
* test(#4254): sequential executor root pin — failing-first regression + matrix

The new suite executes the shipped supplied-root-pin guard against real git
fixtures (drifted primary-checkout cwd halts before the write and the FATAL
names both roots; matching cwd permits it; unexpanded/empty pins halt;
normalization forms; submodule and sibling boundaries; metacharacter quoting;
drive-letter form gate) and locks the dispatch contract across execute-phase.md,
its sequential-root-pin step fragment, and worktree-path-safety.md. The #2772
per-plan serialization assertion retargets to the fragment that now carries
those rules (ADR-857 Phase 6 ceiling), plus the host-step wiring.

* fix(#4254): pin sequential executor to the orchestrator's validated root

Sequential-mode dispatch told the executor to self-derive PROJECT_ROOT from its
own cwd; every existing guard is worktree-mode-only or self-referential, so an
executor spawned with a drifted cwd committed onto the wrong checkout silently.

- worktree-path-safety.md step 0p: mode-agnostic supplied-root pin guard,
  composed by the orchestrator at build time with the literal $ORCHESTRATOR_WT
  (git-vs-git comparison on both sides — representation-safe on Windows, the
  #4296 lesson), fail-closed on empty/unexpanded pins, registered-submodule
  allowance, warn-and-proceed only when the dispatch carries no pin block.
- execute-phase.md sequential branch: build-time embed of the bound
  <project_root_pin> via the new execute-phase/steps/sequential-root-pin.md
  fragment (ADR-857 Phase 6 frozen ceiling — the host step cannot grow; the
  wave serialization rules move with the fragment, verbatim in substance) plus
  the per-write/commit pin instruction in <sequential_execution>. Worktree-mode
  dispatch untouched (its self-derived toplevel IS correct there).
- INVENTORY rows (5 locales) + INVENTORY-MANIFEST + install-tree goldens
  regenerated for the new fragment; changeset added.

* chore(#4254): backfill changeset PR number

* fix(#4254): accept backslash-separated Windows drive pins

CI on windows-latest showed every permit-path test failing with
"Actual root: <none>": pins composed from Node's path.join arrive in the
backslash drive form (C:\Users\RUNNER~1\...), which the guard's absolute-form
gate rejected before the cwd-side root was ever computed — a legitimate
matching pin could never pass. The gate now accepts either separator
([A-Za-z]:[\\/]); git -C resolves both forms (and 8.3 short names) to the
same canonical toplevel, so the git-vs-git comparison is unaffected. Form-gate
tests cover the emitted (C:/…) and produced (C:\…) spellings plus short names.

* fix(#4254): portable drive-form gate for MSYS bash

The bracket class [\\/] that accepted backslash drive pins parses
inconsistently on MSYS bash (the Windows CI leg still rejected C:\ pins —
every permit-path test red with "Actual root: <none>"). Replace it with
standard pattern escaping outside brackets: [A-Za-z]:/*|[A-Za-z]:\\* —
the escape form is version- and build-portable. Verified across all forms:
both drive spellings accepted; bare "C:", relative, empty, and unexpanded
rejected.

* fix(#4254): runtime-generated backslash comparator + self-describing FATAL

The Windows CI legs failed every #4254 permit-path row with
'Actual root: <none>' across two prior pattern spellings ([\\/] and \\*).
Stage misattribution: <none> appears whenever the FATAL fires BEFORE the
cwd-side capture assigns ACTUAL_ROOT — the absolute-form gate was what fired.

Mechanism: the test harness spawns bash -c <script> through the Windows
command-line boundary; that round-trip applies one extra shell-quoting pass
with double-quote semantics — a backslash written twice in the script text
arrives halved, while a lone backslash survives (the pin displays intact;
row 9's pure-bash gate independently showed the halved pattern rejecting
C:\ while C:/ still passed its surviving arm). On windows-latest every pin
carries backslashes (os.tmpdir() is the 8.3 short form C:\Users\RUNNER~1\...),
so the gate ate every pin before the actual root was ever computed.

Fix, robust by construction:
- the drive-form gate generates its backslash comparator at RUNTIME
  (BS=$(printf '\134'); match [A-Za-z]:"$BS"*) — the shipped guard now
  contains no doubled backslash anywhere, enforced by a regression
  assertion on the extracted guard text;
- the FATAL self-describes: Guard stage (pin-unbound / form-gate /
  actual-capture / pinned-capture / root-mismatch) plus a Diagnostic line
  carrying git's own stderr for capture failures and both compared values
  for mismatches — future platform failures name their stage in the log;
- row 9's hand-rolled duplicate case gate (transit-fragile copy, #4296
  Minor 1 duplication smell) is replaced by driving the SHIPPED guard and
  asserting the stage; rows 2/4 pin the new stage machinery.

Validated on darwin across drift/match/relative/unbound/empty/bare-drive/
forward-and-backslash drive forms, each also re-run under a simulated
Windows transit (every doubled backslash halved) with identical outcomes.

* fix(#4254): close the empty-comparator fail-open seam in the drive-form gate

Self-review of the runtime-generated backslash comparator: if printf's
octal escape ever returned empty, the drive arm [A-Za-z]:"$BS"* would
widen to drive-RELATIVE pins (C:foo) — the construction's one theoretical
fail-open path. Fail closed with a self-describing diagnostic instead of
trusting the shell's printf.

19b66c3ec8 fix(#4218): stop the orchestrator steering an executor that is still working (#4391)
* fix(#4218): stop the orchestrator steering an executor that is still working

An executor with recent RED/GREEN/REFACTOR commits and passing verification had
not yet written its SUMMARY because it was finishing closeout. The parent saw no
local OS test/build process, inferred an "idle tail", and sent "Finalize
immediately" into a working child; in CLI runs the same inference interrupted an
executor before GREEN, leaving a RED commit and an uncommitted edit.

The stall block said only "if no completion signal, no SUMMARY.md, and no
expected-branch commits appear for N minutes" — it never said what to do when
commits DO exist and only the SUMMARY is outstanding, never defined the
threshold as a period without progress rather than a total runtime, and never
ruled out a process listing as an idleness signal. Four rules close that:

- the threshold measures a period WITHOUT MEANINGFUL PROGRESS, from the last
  sign of progress, not from dispatch — a long verification tail is not a stall;
- commits + missing SUMMARY + recent activity resolves to KEEP WAITING, with
  steering, interrupting and re-dispatching each named and forbidden;
- urgency/finalization messages ("Finalize immediately" and family) are
  forbidden outright — they arrive mid-verification and truncate a correct run.
  The existing user-facing pause is the only sanctioned stop, and `kill and
  retry` is a clean restart, not a nudge;
- the absence of a local OS test/build process is NOT idleness: a native
  subagent runs in the runtime's own session, and an executor between two tool
  calls shows no process at all. Progress is judged only by the signals this
  workflow names.

Five prose-contract assertions in tests/execute-phase-wave.test.cjs, all red on
next.

* fix(#4218): extract the progress policy to a step fragment

CI's #1168 gate caught it: execute-phase.md sits 77 bytes under a frozen 93600
ceiling and the four rules added ~2.3 KB. "Extract, not bump" is the repo's
stated remedy, and this workflow already carries policy detail that way.

execute-phase/steps/executor-progress-policy.md owns the policy. The
worktree-recovery arm moved with it — `kill and switch to inline execution`
qualifies the stop this policy governs, so it belongs beside the rule about when
stopping is sanctioned at all, not stranded in the host. The #3212 recovery
OPTIONS stay in the host, where tests/config.test.cjs pins them.

The host keeps what must be read before the orchestrator acts: the verdict, the
threshold definition, and a pointer that fires before any message is sent to the
child. execute-phase.md is now 93475 bytes — 48 SMALLER than next.

* chore: add changeset for #4218

* chore(#4218): regenerate the inventory manifest for the new step fragment

docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json is the authoritative per-file list behind
INVENTORY.md's `<workflow>/steps/*.md` row, so a new fragment has to appear
there or gen-inventory-manifest --check reds the lint-tests lane.

* chore(#4218): restore the issue ref on the allow-test-rule marker

ADR-456 requires a #NNN on a new exemption; the block rewrite that moved the
policy into the fragment dropped it.

* chore(#4218): regenerate the install-tree fixtures for the new step fragment

The fragment ships with the workflow, so every runtime's golden install tree
gains one path — gen:install-tree is the generator that owns those fixtures.

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

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

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

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

All three issue directions, none exclusive:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

CHUNKED_PARALLEL resolution moved out of plan-phase.md into

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1db726ebbf feat(#3806): canonize the Review Dispositions Ledger contract (#4345)
* test(#3806): add parity tests for the Review Dispositions Ledger contract

Failing-first: asserts references/planner-reviews.md, workflows/plan-phase.md,
and agents/gsd-plan-checker.md agree on a single canonical "Review Dispositions
Ledger" heading, its round-scoping, L##@{sha} anchor format, and append-only
supersession rule. These fail until the canon and its two references are added.

* feat(#3806): canonize the Review Dispositions Ledger contract

Promote the existing planner-reviews.md Step 4 return-payload tables
(Review Feedback Addressed/Deferred) into a canonical `## Review
Dispositions Ledger` PLAN.md section, stated once in planner-reviews.md
and referenced (not restated) from plan-phase.md's
<review_incorporation_contract> and gsd-plan-checker.md's Review
Incorporation dimension. Adds round-scoping (`### Round {N} —
{REVIEWS_sha}`), a `L##@{sha}` line-anchor format so a REVIEWS.md
reference survives the file being rewritten each round, and an
append-only supersession rule. Scoped to part 1 only per the
maintainer's approved-feature verdict — the deterministic lint/check
verb (part 2) is explicitly deferred to a follow-up.

Also: ADR-3806 recording the decision, a docs/features/ fragment

* fix(#3806): correct malformed Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth trailer block

The previous commit's two Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth trailers were
separated from the Co-Authored-By trailer by a blank line, so git's
own trailer parser (which tests/helpers/emitted-runtime.cjs reads via
`%(trailers:key=...)`) only recognized the last contiguous block
(Co-Authored-By) and treated the Ack-Growth lines as ordinary body
text — invisible to the emitted-attribution gate, not malformed data.
Restating them here as one contiguous trailer block, git log over the
PR range aggregates trailers from every commit, so this is additive.
