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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Closes #1951

* fix(#1951): address orthogonal review findings

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

903182fed3 fix(#2414): mempalace-capture rooms example must be dicts with name key (#2464)
* fix(#2414): mempalace-capture rooms example must be dicts with name key

The skill's Step 3 'Add the drawer (verbatim)' example wrote a flat list
of bare strings under rooms: in the embedded mempalace.yaml. mempalace's
miner (detect_room + _mine_impl) indexes room["name"] — a bare-string
list crashes the first 'mempalace mine' invocation with

  TypeError: string indices must be integers, not 'str'

Following the documented example verbatim and running the capture crashed
every time, before any file was routed. The bug shipped in #2220's fix
(commit d8af61be4) — the same commit that replaced the invalid --room
flag with detect_room() staging also introduced this rooms: block with
the wrong (string, not dict) entry shape.

Fix: convert each '- <room>' to '- name: <room>' in both shipped source
files (skills/gsd-mempalace-capture/SKILL.md and commands/gsd/mempalace-capture.md).
The two files are byte-for-byte duplicates of the broken block; both are
corrected in lockstep so the installer regenerates consistent copies into
the user's runtime config dir (gsd-pristine/ and gsd-local-patches/ are
install-time-generated, no separate edit needed).

Tests: tests/mempalace-capture-headless-invocation.test.cjs gains a #2414
describe block that extracts the YAML block from each file, parses it with
js-yaml, and asserts every entry under rooms: is a dict carrying a
non-empty 'name' string. A second belt-and-suspenders check forbids any
bare '- <word>' line under rooms: so a future reversion can't slip back in
silently if the YAML parser is ever removed/refactored.

References: #2414; #2220 (same origin commit, distinct failure mode);
mempalace's miner dict-shape contract (miner.py:1708 built-in default
uses [{"name": "general", "description": "All project files"}]).

352876ff0c fix(#2315): respect review.default_reviewers in bare convergence invocation (#2451)
* test(#2315): regression test for review.default_reviewers precedence

A bare /gsd-plan-review-convergence invocation (no reviewer flags) is supposed
to let users configure a persistent reviewer lineup via review.default_reviewers
and just run the loop. Instead, the orchestrator's argument parser silently
discards that configuration and forces --codex on every no-flag invocation —
with no warning that the configured reviewers were ignored.

This commit adds a regression test that fails against the pre-fix workflow
(the buggy unconditional --codex fallback is still present at this commit)
and passes after the fix lands:

- Structural: the workflow must NOT contain an unconditional
  'if [ -z "$REVIEWER_FLAGS" ]; then REVIEWER_FLAGS="--codex"; fi' line
  before the workflow.plan_review_convergence config gate.
- Structural: the workflow must query review.default_reviewers AFTER the config
  gate and document that empty REVIEWER_FLAGS lets gsd-review apply the default.
- Behavioral: matrix across {configured, unset, empty-array, explicit-flag}
  invoking the actual deployed parse + resolution blocks with a stubbed gsd_run.

Also updates two existing tests whose assertions the fix makes stale:
- #2293 behavioral: endMarker was the buggy unconditional fallback line; the
  bare invocation assertion was 'run("5") === "--codex"'. Both flip post-fix
  (endMarker is now the last --all grep line; bare invocation returns empty
  from the parse block, default applied later in step 1.5).
- command-default-claim: the pre-fix command documented '--codex (default if
  no reviewer specified)' which was the user-facing mirror of the bug. The
  assertion now requires the command to document the review.default_reviewers
  precedence.

* fix(#2315): respect review.default_reviewers in bare convergence invocation

Root cause: plan-review-convergence.md step 1 (Parse and Normalize Arguments)
contained an unconditional fallback that set REVIEWER_FLAGS=\"--codex\" whenever
no explicit reviewer flag was supplied. This value was then interpolated
verbatim into the gsd-review args, so gsd-review saw --codex as an explicit
flag (precedence rule 1) and never reached rule 3 (review.default_reviewers).
The same path silently dropped any configured review.reviewer_instances
(instances participate ONLY via review.default_reviewers per ADR-1517).

Fix:
- Remove the unconditional --codex fallback from step 1.
- Add a config-gated resolution in step 1.5 (after CONVERGENCE_ENABLED check)
  that queries review.default_reviewers and either leaves REVIEWER_FLAGS empty
  (letting gsd-review apply its own rule-3 default) or falls back to --codex
  when no default is configured — preserving the pre-fix default for
  unconfigured users (AC3).
- Replace the banner {REVIEWER_FLAGS} token with {REVIEWER_DISPLAY} so the
  startup banner reflects what will actually run (AC4), not a hardcoded value.

The fix upholds the documented precedence contract (ADR-0011, ADR-0015) that
the bug was actively violating. Explicit-flag invocations (--gemini, --all,
etc.) are unaffected (AC5).

References: #2315; ADR-0011 (review.default_reviewers precedence);
ADR-0015 (autonomous cross-AI convergence); ADR-1517 (reviewer instances).

* chore(#2315): bump plan-review-convergence.md baseline + changeset

- Bump plan-review-convergence.md size baseline 23713 → 25536 (the new
  step-1.5 default-resolution block).
- Add .changeset/plucky-yaks-roar.md documenting the user-visible change.

* fix(#2315): restore /gsd: colon syntax + skip behavioral test when jq missing

Two follow-ups to the #2315 fix discovered by gsd-test:

1. The fix commit accidentally regressed the slash-command namespace in the
   disabled-feature exit message: /gsd:plan-review-convergence (correct,
   from PR #3452) became /gsd-plan-review-convergence (retired dash syntax).
   The slash-command-namespace invariant test caught this. Restored the
   colon form.

2. The behavioral test exercises the deployed reviewer-resolution block,
   which pipes through jq. jq is a documented production dependency
   (review.md:244 "install jq if missing") and is present in every
   production deployment, but is NOT on PATH in the gsd-test linux-node{22,24}
   containers (same constraint as tests/opencode-review-reconstruction.
   property.test.cjs). Without jq, the printf|jq pipeline fails silently,
   the ||echo 0 fallback yields DEFAULT_REVIEWERS_COUNT=0, and the resolution
   falls through to the --codex branch — producing a false negative.
   Added a jqAvailable guard at module load (matching the existing pattern)
   and skip the behavioral test when jq is absent. The structural tests
   (no bash execution) still run and validate the fix.

* chore(#2315): regenerate golden-install-parity fixtures

Source changes to plan-review-convergence.md (workflow + skill mirror +
command doc) changed the install-tree hashes. Regenerated via
'npm run gen:golden' after rebuilding gsd-core/bin/lib/install-engine.cjs
('npm run build:lib') — the on-disk lib was stale relative to
src/install-engine.cts (isSymlinkedDestOptIn) and blocked fixture gen.

* test(#2315): address review findings — strengthen structural tests + property test

Code-review + security-review (isolated subagent passes) surfaced Low/Nit
findings; this commit addresses the test-side findings:

- Structural test 1 ("unconditional --codex one-liner") now asserts the
  buggy line is absent EVERYWHERE, not just before the config gate. The
  earlier assertion allowed a maintainer to re-add the line after the gate
  (passing the structural test) while the bug would still bite at runtime
  before the gate runs.
- Structural test 4 ("banner uses REVIEWER_DISPLAY") now asserts the
  LITERAL banner placeholder "Reviewers: {REVIEWER_DISPLAY}" and forbids
  "Reviewers: {REVIEWER_FLAGS}". The earlier workflow.includes(
  "REVIEWER_DISPLAY") was satisfied by a comment mention.
- New structural test for command/skill content parity: both files must
  document the review.default_reviewers precedence on the --codex flag
  (catches a manual edit to one that the gen:plugin-skills mirror misses).
- Behavioral test stub now passes default_reviewers via env var
  ($GSD_TEST_DEFAULT_REVIEWERS) instead of inline-interpolating into a
  bash single-quoted string. Removes the (currently-safe) fragility where
  a future test input containing a single quote would close the bash
  quote and execute as bash under execFileSync.
- New property test (fast-check, numRuns=25) for the JSON-classification
  contract: non-empty arrays of slugs -> empty REVIEWER_FLAGS; empty
  array / scalar JSON / malformed JSON -> --codex fallback. Locks the
  parser contract per CLAUDE.md mandate.

* fix(#2315): address review findings — defensive jq-missing warning + banner cleanup

Code-review surfaced two Low-severity workflow-side findings:

- Defensive jq-missing warning: if jq is not on PATH in production (it is
  a documented dependency per review.md:244, but the dependency can be
  absent in degraded environments), the printf|jq pipeline fails silently
  to "0" and a user with review.default_reviewers configured gets --codex
  with no indication their configured default was unreadable. Added a
  command -v jq guard at the top of the resolution that falls back to
  --codex AND emits a stderr warning explaining the reason. This makes the
  failure diagnosable instead of silently reproducing the #2315 override.

- Banner leading-space cleanup: REVIEWER_FLAGS accumulates with a leading
  space ("$REVIEWER_FLAGS --gemini" from ""), so the explicit-flag branch
  of REVIEWER_DISPLAY="$REVIEWER_FLAGS" rendered "Reviewers:  --gemini"
  (double space). Pre-existing but worth fixing alongside the AC4 banner
  work. Strip one leading space with the ${VAR# } parameter expansion in
  the explicit-flag branch only (the configured-default and --codex
  branches already produce clean strings).

* chore(#2315): bump plan-review-convergence.md baseline + regen golden fixtures

The defensive jq-missing warning grew plan-review-convergence.md
(25536 -> 26285 bytes). Bumps the per-file baseline snapshot and
regenerates the golden-install-parity fixtures for the resulting
install-tree hash changes.

a7d83dc234 fix(#2390): warn on goal-shaped phase.add titles, correct auto-detect docs (#2425)
* fix(#2390): phase.add title warning + auto-detect doc fix

phase.add now returns a `warning` field when a description reads as
goal-shaped (>80 chars and/or multi-sentence) rather than title-shaped,
instead of silently writing the whole paragraph verbatim as the
`### Phase N:` header. The CLI still creates the phase as-is (the
strict two-layer slash-vs-CLI interface is unchanged); the warning
just surfaces the gap.

Also clarifies six doc sites (command argument hints, workflow
detection steps, and how-to/reference docs) that described the
phase-number argument as "auto-detecting" the next unplanned phase --
that detection is an orchestrating-workflow/LLM step reading
ROADMAP.md (concretely: `query roadmap.analyze`'s `next_phase`
field), not a `gsd-tools.cjs` CLI feature.

ada79bee97 fix(#2308): make new-milestone workstream-aware; stop clobbering shared PROJECT.md (#2338)
* fix(#2308): make new-milestone workstream-aware; stop clobbering shared PROJECT.md

Step 4 rewrote the `## Current Milestone` heading in the shared root PROJECT.md
unconditionally. references/workstream-flag.md marks PROJECT.md `# Shared`, and
per-workstream milestone state already lives in the workstream's own STATE.md /
ROADMAP.md / REQUIREMENTS.md. With parallel milestones — the sanctioned design —
whichever workstream ran new-milestone last silently won the shared heading.
Step 4 is now skipped when a workstream is active; step 6 no longer stages
PROJECT.md in that mode (cmdCommit returns nothing_to_commit rather than failing
when a staged path is unchanged).

Also fixes a second defect found while diagnosing this, same root cause (the
workflow was workstream-unaware): step 1 parsed only --reset-phase-numbers and
the milestone name, so GSD_WS was never set — yet ${GSD_WS} was interpolated at
the routing lines. It always expanded to empty, so `/gsd:new-milestone --ws x`
suggested `/gsd:discuss-phase [N]` with the workstream scope silently dropped,
violating the routing-propagation contract. Step 1 now parses --ws using the
established idiom from verify-work.md.

Guard is keyed on GSD_WS, not $GSD_WORKSTREAM: the runtime launcher does not
export the latter and it is only priority 2 of 5 in resolution, so it would miss
the --ws flag case that is the actual repro.

* fix(#2308): address review — inert step-6 guard, dropped Evolution repair, tautological tests

Independent review found the first pass was partly cosmetic:

1. The step-6 `if [ -n "$GSD_WS" ]` branch was INERT. GSD_WS is assigned in
   step 1's shell and each step's bash block runs in its own shell — this file
   already proves it, since step 5 round-trips OUTGOING_MILESTONE through a file
   for exactly that reason (#2288). The guard read an unset variable, always took
   the flat branch, and staged PROJECT.md anyway. Rather than re-deriving GSD_WS
   in step 6, the branch is removed entirely: step 4 Part A's guard is what
   protects the shared heading, so post-guard the only content PROJECT.md can
   carry is Part B's idempotent Evolution backfill — which must be staged, not
   stranded. A regression test now asserts no cross-step GSD_WS branch returns.

2. Skipping ALL of step 4 also dropped the `## Evolution` structural repair — a
   shared, idempotent backfill that is not workstream state. A pre-Evolution
   project running only `--ws` would never get the section that transition and
   complete-milestone expect. Step 4 is now split: Part A (milestone-state write)
   is workstream-guarded; Part B (Evolution) always runs.

3. The tests were tautological prose-pinning — including one asserting a comment
   mentions "#2308". The step-6 test asserted the guard's TEXT was present, so it
   passed on the inert guard it existed to catch. Replaced with executable tests
   that extract the step-1 and step-6 fences and run them under bash with stubbed
   gsd_run, asserting real parse and --files behavior.

4. --ws is now stripped from the milestone name (step 1 previously left
   "--ws search" in the remaining text), and documented in argument-hint,
   help/modes/full.md, and docs/COMMANDS.md.

5. Changeset no longer overstates: --ws reaches the prose guard and routing hints
   only, not the SDK calls (state.milestone-switch/phases.clear/init.new-milestone
   still take no ${GSD_WS} — out of scope here).

* chore(#2308): regenerate SKILL.md, goldens, and size baseline for the argument-hint change

skills/gsd-new-milestone/SKILL.md is generated from commands/gsd/new-milestone.md,
so documenting --ws in the argument-hint made it stale (caught by lint:ci's
gen-plugin-skills --check). Regenerated it plus the install goldens and workflow
size baseline, since commands/, skills/, and gsd-core/workflows/ all ship.

1bb724048a fix(#2293): recognize --agy/--antigravity in plan-review-convergence whitelist (#2325)
* fix(#2293): recognize --agy/--antigravity in plan-review-convergence whitelist

The convergence reviewer-flag whitelist predated the 1.7.0 Antigravity CLI
adapter and silently dropped --agy/--antigravity, so convergence fell back to
--codex only and the working adapter was unreachable (worse after Gemini CLI's
upstream shutdown). Add both flags to the workflow grep whitelist, the command
argument-hint + flag docs, and the regenerated SKILL.md; they pass through to
/gsd-review unchanged. --gemini behavior is untouched.

315d94f6d4 feat(#1945): tracer-first planning default + executor feedback gate (#2294)
* feat(#1945): tracer-first planning default + executor feedback gate

Make "thin end-to-end slice first, verify, then expand" the default planning + execution discipline instead of the opt-in --mvp mode.

- gsd-planner: first-class `type="tracer"` task; every plan LEADS with one production-quality end-to-end tracer slice by default; --no-tracer restores horizontal layers; --mvp/--tdd compose on top.
- gsd-executor + execute-plan: post-tracer feedback gate — autonomous runs halt-on-fail before expansion, interactive runs emit checkpoint:human-verify after the tracer.
- --no-tracer flag wired through plan-phase workflow/command/help/skill.
- CONTEXT.md glossary defines tracer bullet vs prototype; docs + references reconciled.
- tests/tracer-bullet.test.cjs: prose-contract + behavioral (verify plan-structure accepts tracer) coverage.

d8af61be44 fix(#2220): replace invalid mempalace mine --room with detect_room() staging (#2260)
* fix(#2220): replace invalid 'mine --room' with detect_room() staging approach

mempalace mine has no --room flag (only search does) — verified against
MemPalace 3.5.0 official docs (mempalaceofficial.com/reference/cli.html).
The headless capture path used --room, causing every headless/no-MCP run
to fail with 'unrecognized arguments: --room' and silently skip capture.

Fix: replace the flag with a staging-based approach that uses detect_room()'s
documented folder-path match — stage the artifact under a room-named subfolder
with a mempalace.yaml room taxonomy, then run 'mempalace mine <stage> --wing'.

Docs sources cited in-file:
- CLI reference:  https://mempalaceofficial.com/reference/cli.html
- Mining guide:   https://mempalaceofficial.com/guide/mining.html
- Config guide:   https://mempalaceofficial.com/guide/configuration.html

Changes:
- skills/gsd-mempalace-capture/SKILL.md: headless staging instructions
- commands/gsd/mempalace-capture.md: same
- capabilities/mempalace/fragments/capture-problems.md: reference staging
- .gitignore: exclude .planning/.mempalace-stage/
- tests/mempalace-capture-headless-invocation.test.cjs: regression test
- Golden install parity fixtures + workflow-size baseline regenerated

ed79902509 feat(#2007): implement mempalace memory_mode kg_backend and replace routing (#2010)
Wire the two forward-declared mempalace.memory_mode modes so they actually
route recall/capture instead of silently behaving as `augment`:

- kg_backend: the palace temporal KG is the primary knowledge-graph source;
  native .planning/graphs/ is the fallback. Non-KG drawer recall stays additive.
- replace: recall resolves through the palace as the source of truth; native
  artifacts are the fallback.

Every mode stays onError:skip and default-resilient — an unreachable palace
degrades to native memory and GSD keeps writing .planning/graphs/, so no memory
is lost. Cross-mode .planning/graphs/ migration remains a documented open
question (PRD/ADR §17), out of scope here.

Surfaces updated (instruction-only contract): recall/capture commands (+ generated
skills), discuss/wave fragments, curator agent, capability.json schema. Docs:
how-to Step 3, CONFIGURATION, FEATURES, CONTEXT glossary. Regenerated
capability-registry, golden install-parity fixtures (mempalace hashes only),
agent-size-baseline. Added a routing-contract + cross-surface parity test.

Incidental (folded per no-defer rule): removed pre-existing unused imports
(spawnSync in capability-registry.test.cjs; fs in issue-498-package-identity.test.cjs)
that eslint flagged in/alongside the touched files.

Closes #2007

e5ef323b15 feat(#1787): add /gsd:next smart entry workflow (#1798)
* docs: design spec for /gsd smart-entry command

Hybrid approach porting gsd-pi's smart-entry wizard to gsd-core:
deterministic classifier (gsd-tools smart-entry --json) + markdown
command/workflow with AskUserQuestion + --text fallback. Routing-first
('what now?' menu), 10 situations redesigned for gsd-core's phase loop.

* feat: add /gsd-start smart-entry command

State-aware front door adapted from gsd-pi's smart-entry wizard,
redesigned for gsd-core's markdown-first, multi-runtime architecture.

- src/smart-entry.cts: deterministic situation classifier (no-project,
  paused, blocked, verify-failed, needs-first-phase, planning, executing,
  verify-pending, idle-stranded, complete, unknown). Reads STATE.md,
  ROADMAP.md, git, and verify signals; emits JSON the workflow consumes.
- gsd-tools.cjs: wire  case + help listing.
- commands/gsd/start.md + gsd-core/workflows/gsd.md: thin markdown
  dispatcher presenting an AskUserQuestion menu (with --text fallback for
  non-Claude runtimes) and dispatching to existing commands. Falls back
  to /gsd:progress if detection is unavailable.
- help.md: document /gsd:start (parity with bug-2954).
- tests: smart-entry.unit.test.cjs (classifier behavior across all
  situations + priority + JSON shape) and gsd-workflow.structure.test.cjs
  (markdown-layer invariants + every emitted command resolves to a real
  slash command).

Spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-27-gsd-smart-entry-design.md
Note: command-contract (ADR-0002) requires a gsd:* prefix, so the bare
/gsd from the spec surfaces as /gsd-start.

* refactor: rename smart-entry command to /gsd:next

Rename the command from /gsd:start to /gsd:next per feedback. The
command file is now commands/gsd/next.md (name: gsd:next) and the
backing workflow is gsd-core/workflows/smart-entry.md (named for the
smart-entry classifier and gsd-tools smart-entry subcommand; does not
collide with the existing workflows/next.md, which is the progress
--next sub-workflow). help.md and the spec updated to match.

All affected tests (188) pass; lint:ci clean.

* fix: smart-entry reads real STATE.md schema (nested progress YAML + body Phase field)

Codex review found the classifier misread this repo's own STATE.md: it
looked only for scalar current_phase/total_phases frontmatter and body
fields named 'Current Phase'/'Total Phases', but real STATE.md stores
the phase as body 'Phase: N' and total_phases/percent under a nested
'progress:' YAML object. Both came back null, so active projects
(e.g. this repo at Phase 3 / verifying) wrongly classified as
needs-first-phase.

- detectSignals now reads total_phases + percent from nested progress{}
  first, then scalar fm, then body; current_phase falls back to the
  body 'Phase:' field (parseProsePhaseField lineage).
- Add regression tests against the real schema (nested progress YAML +
  body Phase field) covering verify-pending + executing situations.

Verified against this repo: now classifies verify-pending (was
needs-first-phase). Coverage 93.25% lines / 86.99% branches.

* fix(workflow): tiered fallback when gsd-tools is broken (not just smart-entry)

Live test exposed a self-defeating fallback: when smart-entry --json
failed because gsd-tools itself was broken (missing
markdown-sectionizer.cjs), the workflow fell back to /gsd:progress —
which also depends on gsd-tools and would dead-end too.

Replace the single /gsd:progress fallback with a tiered recovery:
1. Probe gsd_run state-snapshot. If it ALSO errors, the whole tool
   layer is down — read .planning/STATE.md directly with the Read tool
   and synthesize a minimal situation + actions menu so /gsd:next stays
   useful. Surface a rebuild hint.
2. Only if smart-entry alone is missing (older gsd-core), fall back to
   /gsd:progress as before.

Matches the direct-read resilience the live agent already did by hand.

no-mistakes' test gate runs, so it surfaced in CI). Regenerated via

test now passes.

Full CI (shard 3/3) caught that adding commands/gsd/next.md + the

fixtures stale across all 16 runtimes. Regenerated via
UPDATE_GOLDEN=1 node --test tests/golden-install-parity.test.cjs.
All 16 fixtures + inventory-manifest-sync now pass.

* Fix smart-entry verify-failed phase scoping and empty resolve shim step

Scope detectVerifyFailed to STATE.md's current phase so leftover higher
phase directories cannot force verify-failed routing. Move the gsd_run
shim resolver into the workflow resolve step so agents define gsd_run
before the detect step runs smart-entry.

the gsd-next / ns-workflow skill descriptions to match the command surface.

* refactor(#1787): delegate /gsd:next in-project advancement to gated /gsd:progress --next

Reconciles the /gsd:next smart-entry front door with the existing
/gsd:progress --next engine (davesienkowski review on PR #1798). The
classifier previously recommended /gsd:execute-phase directly for the
`executing` situation, bypassing workflows/next.md Route 0
(resume-incomplete-phase invariant, #160) and Gates 1-3 — reproducing the
duplication that got the old flat /gsd-next removed (#3054), plus a
correctness hazard (executing the recorded current phase while an earlier
phase is silently incomplete).

Now planning/executing/verify-pending recommend `/gsd:progress --next`
(single gated engine); the specific command stays an explicit secondary.
Off-path states (no-project, paused, blocked, verify-failed,
idle-stranded, complete) keep direct recommendations — smart-entry's
distinct value over --next. Adds docs/adr/1787-gsd-next-smart-entry.md and
a regression test locking the delegation contract.

* chore: gitignore compiled host-integration-sdk + handshake-serialized .cjs

Pre-existing gap from #1683: these two src/*.cts modules compile to
gsd-core/bin/lib/*.cjs but were omitted from the per-file ignore list, so
`npm run build`/`npm test` left them as untracked build artifacts (dirty
tree + accidental-commit footgun). Adds them alongside their siblings
(host-integration.cjs, mcp-server.cjs, …). Found while finishing #1798.

  one-recommended/1-4 invariant was only sampled for 6 of 11 situations).
- Fix ADR typo: /gsd-progress → /gsd:progress.

* fix(#1798): split oversized test chunks so a slow shard can't trip the per-chunk timeout

Root-cause of the intermittent `full test (windows-latest, 22, shard 1/3)`
failure. It was NOT a leaked handle (the runner's kill message guesses that,
but --test-force-exit already exits leaks cleanly). Diagnosis:

- Ran every shard-1/3 file WITHOUT --test-force-exit + a 45s kill-timer:
  zero hangs, zero leaks — every file self-exits. So no leaked handle / hang.
- CI activity profile: output kept flowing (slowly) right up to the 600.0s
  kill — a dead hang would go silent. => pure slowness.
- Per-file timing: install-minimal-hooks.test.cjs is a 4987-line / 250-case
  consolidation file doing dozens of real installs — 41s even on a fast Mac
  (much worse on the slow Windows I/O path), plus an install-heavy cluster.

Mechanism: MAX_FILES_PER_CHUNK=180 packed the whole ~171-file shard into ONE
`node --test` chunk, so the entire shard's wall-clock ran against a single
600s per-chunk backstop. On slow Windows runners that single chunk crossed
600s and was killed mid-run — an intermittent false-negative gate that also
hits `next` directly.

Fix: lower MAX_FILES_PER_CHUNK 180 -> 90 so each shard splits into ~2 chunks,
each with its own fresh 600s budget and a fresh node process (also relieves
per-process memory pressure). Verified locally: shard 1/3 now runs as
chunk 1/2 (90 files) + chunk 2/2 (81 files), 5323 tests, 0 fail. Also made the
timeout kill-message name slowness as a cause instead of asserting a leak, so
the next debugger isn't sent hunting a nonexistent handle leak.
