3fd03bec4c fix(#3760): refuse a legacy-key migration into a non-object config section (#3767)
* test(#3760): failing-first regression for non-object config section

Locks the contract from the issue's Expected section before any fix exists:
a legacy-key section holding a string, number, boolean or array must be
preserved verbatim, reported, and never persisted in an expanded form.

Covers both blocks the issue names (branching_strategy -> git.*, sub_repos ->
planning.*), the migrateOnDisk multiRepo branch that shares the shape, and the
loader write paths that are what actually reach the user's config.json.
Includes the negative-space cases that must keep hoisting ({} , null, absent
section, canonical-nested-wins) and two fast-check properties.

* fix(#3760): refuse a legacy-key migration into a non-object config section

normalizeLegacyKeys hoisted a legacy top-level key into its canonical nested
section by spreading `result[section] ?? {}`. `??` guards only null and
undefined, so a section holding a string was enumerated by index —
`{...'main'}` is `{0:'m',1:'a',2:'i',3:'n'}` — while a number or boolean
spread to `{}` and the value vanished. Because a fired block always pushed a
Normalization, and every caller treats a non-empty normalizations array as
'config is dirty', that shape was written back to .planning/config.json and
the original value became unrecoverable.

Both blocks the issue names are fixed via one shared hoistLegacyKey helper,
plus the two further sites that share the shape and are reachable from the
same input: migrateOnDisk's multiRepo branch, and the loader's two
`if (!planning) planning = {}` guards, where a non-empty string is truthy and
the following assignment threw a strict-mode TypeError that the enclosing
catch swallowed — discarding the user's entire config.

A present non-object section now blocks its own migration. The section, the
legacy key, and the file are left byte-identical; no Normalization is pushed,
so nothing marks the config dirty; the refusal is reported in-band as
`skipped[]` and out-of-band through the ADR-1411 warnUnusableInput seam
(new frozen reason config_section_not_object). null and undefined keep their
long-standing 'absent' meaning and still create the section.

This is the nested-section analog of the ADR-227 shape check _readConfigFile
already performs on the top-level document: valid JSON is not a config object.
isConfigSection is exported and shared by both modules rather than copied.

Fixes #3760

* fix(#3760): keep the multiRepo marker when planning cannot receive it

Follow-up from the isolated adversarial review, and the same defect class as
the two blocks the issue names — in the block it did not name.

normalizeLegacyKeys block 3 deleted `multiRepo` and pushed a Normalization
before anything consulted the planning section, deferring 'can this section
receive sub_repos?' to the caller that runs filesystem detection. By then the
marker was already gone and the config was already dirty, so with
{"multiRepo":true,"planning":"docs"} the loader wrote the file back with
multiRepo removed, the sub_repos injection silently no-opped against the
string, and no diagnostic was emitted at all. migrateOnDisk warned for the
same input; the ~30-caller loadConfig path did not.

Section validity is knowable from the parsed config alone — detection is only
needed for the VALUE, not for whether the destination can hold it. The refusal
moves into block 3: the marker is kept, no Normalization is pushed, and a
skipped entry is recorded, so all three callers inherit the preservation and
the diagnostic together. The caller-side guards drop to pure narrowing.

Also from review: skipped[] now reports sectionType ('string' | 'number' |
'boolean' | 'array') instead of sectionValue. migrateOnDisk's report is printed
verbatim by `migrate-config`, and this module already masks config values on
the set/unset output path; the type is the whole diagnostic and the value is
still in the file.

And `migrate-config --raw` no longer answers a refused migration with 'No
legacy keys found — config is already canonical.' Legacy keys WERE found and
declined, and the decline is the one thing only the user can fix by hand.

* fix(#3760): keep configuration.cjs dependency-free; emit from its callers

The remote matrix caught a regression my own change introduced: adding
`require('./unusable-input.cjs')` to configuration.cts broke the #3571
install-layout contract. `configuration.cjs` must load from a layout holding
only itself plus bin/shared/*.manifest.json — the installer does not co-locate
arbitrary siblings — so the new require failed at load time:

  Cannot find module './unusable-input.cjs'
  Require stack:
  - /tmp/gsd-3571-.../.codex/gsd-core/bin/lib/configuration.cjs

pinned by 'co-located bin/shared manifests let configuration.cjs load without
sdk/shared' in tests/install.test.cjs (3 failures).

The contract is deliberate and the test is right, so the module goes back to
zero sibling requires and the out-of-band diagnostic moves to the callers that
already carry a dependency budget and hold the resolved path: cmdMigrateConfig
(config.cts) and loadConfigResolved (config-loader.cts). normalizeLegacyKeys
keeps reporting refusals in-band via skipped[], which is what lets it be pure
and dependency-free at the same time.

The emission-count and dedup assertions move to tests/config-loader.test.cjs,
where the diagnostic now originates. A new assertion pins the inverse for the
module itself — migrateOnDisk must emit ZERO diagnostics while still reporting
skipped[] — so regrowing a sibling require fails a unit test instead of only
the install suite. CONTEXT.md records why the emitter is the caller.

b6977d9d11 fix(#3762): enforce docs/INVENTORY.md roster rows, backfill 32 gaps (#3766)
* test(#3762): failing-first roster gate for docs/INVENTORY.md rows

Anchors the human half of the inventory-drift rule: every entry in
docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json must have a hand-written row in
docs/INVENTORY.md. Expected RED on this commit -- next carries 32
unrostered surfaces, which is the defect the gate exists to catch.

* fix(#3762): enforce docs/INVENTORY.md roster rows, backfill 32 gaps

docs/INVENTORY.md calls itself the authoritative roster of every shipped
GSD surface, and CLAUDE.md's inventory-drift rule requires both a roster
row and a manifest regen. Only the manifest half was anchored, so a PR
could ship a surface, regenerate the manifest, omit the row, and stay
green -- as PR #3758 did with gsd-core/references/planner-coupling.md.

Adds the roster half to tests/inventory-manifest-sync.test.cjs, backed by
a pure matcher in tests/helpers/inventory-roster.cjs, and backfills the 32
surfaces already missing rows on next.

Fixes #3762

* test(#3762): harden roster matcher against fenced blocks and trim exports

Skips fenced code regions when splitting level-2 sections so a documented
'## ' example inside a fence cannot truncate a family section (false red)
or contribute a phantom row (false pass); makes the heading pattern linear
rather than a backtracking lazy match; narrows the module surface to the
three names the gate consumes.

* fix(#3762): close two false-RED gaps found in orthogonal review

Indented headings: CommonMark permits an ATX heading to carry 1-3 leading
spaces, and a ^##-anchored pattern read such a document as having no family
sections at all -- reporting all six missing, a structural red for zero real
drift. Reproduced, then fixed and pinned.

Link-wrapped cells: a row written as [`x.md`](../x.md) was not recognized,
though docs/INVENTORY.md already uses that form elsewhere. Unwrapping now
peels a whole-cell link and a whole-cell code span, and only layers that
wrap the cell entirely -- a file mentioned mid-prose is still not a row, so
the false red is not traded for a false pass.

Adds a second fast-check property over the commands source-link rule, the
one family whose matching rule differs from the other five.

* chore: remove stray pwned_cmdsub injection-test canary from the repo root

A zero-byte file committed by 0e6fa2e2c (#3124) while remediating the
#3118 command-substitution injection — the marker a test wrote into cwd to
prove a substitution had NOT executed, left behind when the run ended.
Nothing in the tree references it (verified by Grep across the repo),
package.json's files array excludes root-level files so it never shipped,
and lint-removed-but-needed confirms no surviving reference.

Found while auditing the repo root for #3762; fixed inline rather than
deferred, per CLAUDE.md's no-deferrals rule.

2f86278b5e fix(#3003): opt-in mechanism for intentional deletions in worktree.cleanup-wave (#3757)
* test(#3003): failing-first suite for declared deletions in cleanup-wave

Binds the guard's opt-in before it exists, so the suite is RED against next.

The rows that carry the weight are the over-authorization set: a directory
declaration must not authorize its children, a glob declaration must authorize
nothing, and a declaration must not act as a string prefix of another path.
Each of those BLOCKS, and each would PASS under a prefix, glob, or startsWith
matcher — which is how a path list quietly degrades into the boolean opt-in
#3003 explicitly rejected. The glob row matters most: declaredScopePrefix
already returns null ("matches everything") for a glob-leading pattern, correct
for the advisory it serves and catastrophic for a gate.

Also pinned: a failed deletion check blocks on its own reason rather than being
filtered into a pass; the block detail names only the undeclared residue so the
operator is not misdirected by paths that were fine; an entry with no
declaration blocks exactly as before; junk and non-array declarations do not
authorize; and a blocked entry still isolates rather than aborting the wave
(#2852, which must stay fixed).

Two advisory rows cover an interaction found while designing: git diff
--name-only includes deleted paths, so without unioning the declaration into
the #2596 scope check, authorizing a deletion would raise
SCOPE_OUT_OF_DECLARED against the very path just authorized.

A seeded property states the whole invariant the three over-authorization rows
sample: a deletion merges iff its normalized path is in the declared set.

* feat(#3003): declared deletions opt-in for the cleanup-wave guard

The deletions guard blocked the merge-back of any executor branch whose diff
removed a file, with no way to say a removal was intended. A plan that folded
one test file into a sibling could not be merged by the tool meant to merge it,
forcing a manual --no-ff outside the tool -- strictly less safe than what the
guard protects against.

A plan now declares removals in its own frontmatter (files_deleted), and that
list rides the same path files_modified already travels: plan-document parse ->
phase plan JSON -> the per-plan worktree gate -> record-agent/create
--deletions -> declared_deletions on the manifest entry -> the guard. The guard
blocks only the deletions NOT in that list.

A path list rather than a boolean, per the pinned decision: a boolean disarms
the guard for the whole entry, so an unexpected deletion riding along with a
declared one would pass unnoticed. Matching is exact after the module's shared
normalizer -- never a prefix, never a glob. Both would let one declaration
authorize a whole set, which is the mass-deletion accident the guard exists to
catch. That also means declaredScopePrefix is deliberately NOT reused here: it
returns null ("matches everything") for a glob-leading pattern, which is right
for the advisory it serves and would silently disarm a gate.

The block detail now carries only the undeclared residue, so an operator is not
sent looking at paths that were fine. A failed deletion check still blocks on
its own reason and is never filtered into a pass. A blocked entry still
isolates rather than aborting the wave (#2852).

The #2596 scope advisory unions the declaration into its declared set --
git diff --name-only includes deleted paths, so without that, authorizing a
deletion would immediately warn that the same path was out of declared scope.

Optional and additive throughout: files_deleted is absent from
PLAN_REQUIRED_FIELDS, a manifest entry without declared_deletions keeps the
original unconditional block, and omitting --deletions leaves the on-disk entry
shape untouched.

Supersedes the spent #2856 emitted-drift ack entry for execute-phase.md, the
same supersede that entry performed on #3370 and #3370 on #3324.

* fix(#3003): wire --deletions on every dispatch surface, not just one

Review found the feature inert on two of three dispatch paths. execute-phase.md
(harness inline) passed --deletions, but the orchestrator-worktree path
(executor-isolation-dispatch.md, worktree.create) and the Fleet-parallel batch
path (capabilities/claude-orchestration/fragments/execute-wave-pre.md,
worktree.record-agent) still passed only --files. A plan declaring
files_deleted would have merged on one path and been blocked on the other two
-- the exact bug #3003 exists to fix, left unfixed where most of the isolation
actually runs.

Worse, per-plan-worktree-gate.md already claimed --deletions was passed 'on the
same worktree.record-agent / worktree.create calls', which was false for both
untouched sites. A doc asserting coverage that does not exist is how a gap
survives review.

All four surfaces now pass the flag, verified by sweeping every .md under
gsd-core/, capabilities/, commands/, skills/ and agents/ that invokes
worktree.record-agent or worktree.create: each one that passes --files now also
passes --deletions. The isolation-dispatch note explains why this flag, unlike
--files, is not advisory -- omitting it does not skip a check, it blocks a
merge the plan declared.

Regenerates capability-registry.cjs, which the fragment edit made stale.

Neither newly-grown file needs an emitted-drift ack: executor-isolation-dispatch.md
sits under workflows/execute-phase/steps/ and execute-wave-pre.md under
capabilities/, both outside currentSizes()'s non-recursive scan of
gsd-core/workflows/ and agents/.

* docs(#3003): document files_deleted where a plan author will actually find it

The feature's entire user surface is one plan-frontmatter field, and the
canonical reference for that frontmatter -- docs/reference/plan-md.md, the table
that documents every other key -- never mentioned it. A field nobody can
discover ships as a field nobody uses. Adds the files_deleted row and an example
entry in all five locales (en, ja-JP, zh-CN, ko-KR, pt-BR), stating the property
that makes the opt-in safe: matching is exact per path after separator
normalization, with no globs and no directory prefixes, so a declaration can
never authorize more than it literally lists, and omitting the field keeps the
guard's original unconditional block.

Also corrects two claims in the scope-conformance how-to that this change made
false. Its opening paragraph described the recorded declared scope as
files_modified alone; declared_deletions is now unioned into that comparison.
Its "Renames are not detected specially" bullet asserted the deletions guard
blocks any entry whose diff contains a deletion, full stop -- which was the
whole point of #3003 and is no longer true. Reworked to say what now decides a
rename's fate: declare the old path in files_deleted and both halves become
ordinary paths for the advisory check, which is also why the old path needs no
separate files_modified entry.

Documentation that describes the pre-change behavior of the thing being changed
is worse than no documentation, because a reader trusts it.

* fix(#3003): close every review finding on the declared-deletions opt-in

Two independent isolated reviewers, correctness and security. Neither found a
blocker; both found real defects, and the directive treats a finding at any
severity as blocking. All of them are fixed here.

MAJOR -- the submodule worktree gate could not see a deletion-only plan.
per-plan-worktree-gate.md intersected $SUBMODULE_PATHS against $PLAN_FILES
alone, while $PLAN_DELETIONS was extracted and then never used. Before
files_deleted existed, a path had to appear in files_modified to be planned at
all, so the gate saw it; the new field plus the new docs telling authors a
deleted path needs no files_modified entry opened a hole where a plan whose only
submodule touch is a removal kept worktree isolation on -- the exact case #2772
disabled it for. Both channels now feed the intersection. Note the posture is
deliberately the OPPOSITE of the cleanup-wave guard: there the channels stay
apart because a deletion AUTHORIZATION must never be inferred; here they merge
because a safety fallback must never MISS a touch.

MAJOR -- same-wave conflict detection could not see a deletion. The planner's
implicit-dependency rule compared files_modified only, so plan A editing
src/x.ts and plan B declaring files_deleted: [src/x.ts] scored as conflict-free
and ran in parallel: one branch removing what the other is writing, which is the
sharpest conflict there is. Overlap is now computed across both channels.

MINOR (both reviewers, one root cause) -- the advisory union gave one field two
matching rules. declared_deletions was unioned into the scope list handed to
planWaveScopeConformance, which reads it with prefix-and-glob semantics. So a
field that is exact-match-only at the gate silently became wider at the
advisory: ["*.md"], inert at the gate, yielded a null prefix meaning "matches
everything" and muted the advisory completely, and ["src"] muted all of src/.
The union also activated the advisory on plans that declared no modification
scope at all, warning on every modified path. Replaced with subtraction from the
findings, gated on files_modified alone. One field, one rule, everywhere.

MINOR -- core.quotepath made the feature silently inert for non-ASCII paths.
git emits "tests/\303\251.ts" C-escaped and quoted, which never equals the
declared plain path, so a correctly declared deletion of tests/é.ts would block
forever with nothing pointing at the encoding. Both diffs now pass
-c core.quotepath=false.

NIT -- flag() consumed a following flag as a value, so --deletions --files x
swallowed --files and dropped both. Now treated as a missing declaration, which
fails closed. Fixed at both call sites; the helper is duplicated verbatim in
cmdWorktreeRecordAgent and cmdWorktreeCreate and leaving one would reintroduce it.

TEST -- one test passed for the wrong reason. "a declared deletion is in scope
for the advisory" asserted only that warnings omit the deleted path; under a
full revert the entry blocks first, warnings come back empty, and the negative
assertion passes anyway. It now asserts the entry actually merged, which is the
load-bearing half. Four regressions added, one per fix above.

Docs corrected rather than extended. The rename bullet in the scope-conformance
how-to claimed a rename whose delete side is undeclared never reaches the
advisory. Verified false: git's rename detection is on by default, so a pure
rename is a single R entry that appears in no --diff-filter=D output and was
never gated, before or after #3003. Only a rename that edits enough to fall
below the similarity threshold decomposes into add+delete. The pre-existing
sentence made the same wrong claim; this restates it correctly instead of
sharpening the error. The localized plan-md.md reference edits are reverted:
the PR template requires docs content added here to be English, and the
translations already lag by three fields, so English-only is the repo's
standing posture, not an oversight.

Agent-file size caps respected: gsd-planner.md is XL-tier by bytes but carries a
separate 49152-LF-CHAR cap asserted by four suites, so its edit is deliberately
terse and lands at 49141 with 11 chars of headroom, with the rationale moved to
docs/reference/plan-md.md, which has no cap. gsd-plan-checker.md lands at 49107
bytes, 45 under the LARGE cap. Both acks merged into the existing fragments that
already name those paths, since two ack sources may never name the same path.

* fix(#3003): decode git's path quoting instead of changing the git argv

The previous commit's non-ASCII fix turned the remote suite red: 44 failures,
42 of them "unexpected git call: -c core.quotepath=false diff --diff-filter=D
--name-only ...". The suite's git mocks match on exact argv, so adding two
flags to the deletions diff and the advisory diff invalidated every existing
fixture in tests/worktree-safety.test.cjs. Rewriting dozens of fixtures to
accommodate one flag would be paying a large Hyrum's-law bill to fix a small
defect.

Both execGit calls are reverted to their original argv. The C-quoting is now
decoded in normalizeScopePath instead, via a new decodeGitQuotedPath helper.
That is the better fix on its own merits, not merely the cheaper one: the git
argv is untouched so no fixture moves, the decode lands on the ONE normalizer
already applied to both sides of the comparison so the declared and reported
paths cannot disagree, and it holds regardless of the user's own core.quotepath
setting rather than only when we remember to override it.

A value not wrapped in a leading AND trailing quote is returned completely
untouched, so the plain-ASCII path -- the overwhelmingly common case -- is
byte-identical to before. Escapes decode to BYTES collected into a Buffer and
UTF-8 decoded only at the end, because \303\251 is two bytes forming one
character and decoding them separately yields mojibake. Malformed input never
throws: a trailing lone backslash or a short octal escape degrades to the
literal character, since one bad path must not take down a cleanup wave.

Caught while reviewing the helper: the non-escape branch pushed a UTF-16 code
unit rather than UTF-8 bytes. Git always escapes non-ASCII so its own output was
fine, but this normalizer runs on the DECLARED side too, and an author may write
a quoted path holding a literal é -- pushing 0xE9 alone is invalid UTF-8, so the
declaration would decode to a replacement character and silently stop matching.
That is precisely the failure this change removes, reintroduced on the other
side of the comparison. Now converts whole code points, surrogate pairs intact.

The other 2 failures: tests/parallel-dependent-plans.test.cjs pins the exact
unbackticked substring "files_modified overlap" in gsd-planner.md, and rewording
that comment to "declared-scope overlap" deleted it. The comment is restored
verbatim and the files_deleted change rides in the pseudocode and the Rule
sentence instead. Recorded in the ack fragment so the next contributor does not
rediscover it the same way.

Four regression tests cover the decode through the public cleanup-wave seam
(the helper is module-private): a declared non-ASCII deletion merges against a
C-quoted git report, the symmetric case where the DECLARATION is the quoted
form, an undeclared non-ASCII deletion still blocks with the residue naming the
decoded path an operator can act on, and a path merely containing a quote is
left alone. Plain ASCII was already covered and is not duplicated.

* fix(#3003): revert the leading-dash flag guard, the review nit was wrong

The remote suite came back with 2 failures, down from 44, and both point at the
same thing: tests/worktree-safety.test.cjs:7045 already pins the opposite
contract, deliberately.

  test('a flag-shaped --files value is not re-parsed as a flag', ...)
    recordAgent(['--files', '--branch'])
    -> files_modified === ['--branch']
    -> branch === 'worktree-agent-a1'  ("the real --branch value must be untouched")

So consuming the next argv element positionally, whatever its shape, is the
tested intent of this parser, not an oversight. The security reviewer's nit
claimed --deletions --files x would "swallow --files and drop both". It does
not: each flag runs its own indexOf, so --deletions records the literal
'--files' while --files independently still resolves to x. And that literal is
a path git never reports as deleted, so it authorizes nothing -- already
fail-closed with no guard at all. The guard bought no safety and silently
changed --files behavior along the way, outside this issue's scope.

Reverted at both call sites, which are byte-identical again, along with the test
asserting the reverted behavior and the docs sentence describing it. The nit is
recorded as REJECTED in the review artifact with the reasoning above, rather
than as fixed -- a finding that turns out to be wrong should leave a trace of
why, or the next reviewer files it again.

docs/CLI-TOOLS.md now states the positional-read behavior plainly instead, so
the next person meets it as documented intent rather than rediscovering it
through a red suite.

* chore(#3003): backfill changeset pr number to 3757

* test(#3003): cover parsePlanDocument's filesDeleted branch to clear the mutation gate

CI's Stryker shard for plan-document failed at 73.28 against a break threshold
of 75: 170 killed, 62 survived, 232 total. Eight of those survivors are the
filesDeleted block this issue added to parsePlanDocument, which shipped with no
direct coverage at all -- the field was exercised end to end through the
cleanup-wave tests, but the parser itself was never called with a plan that
declares it, so every mutant in the block lived.

Four tests, each pinned to specific mutants rather than written for coverage
percentage:

- absent key yields exactly [] -- kills the array-literal seed
  (["Stryker was here"]) and the `fmDeleted = true` conditional, which would
  otherwise produce ["true"]
- a scalar underscore `files_deleted:` wraps into a one-element array -- kills
  `fmDeleted = false`, the `&&` logical-operator swap, the `fm[""]` string
  mutation on the first operand, the emptied if-block, and the ternary's
  non-array branch
- an array-valued hyphenated `files-deleted:` maps element-wise -- kills the
  `fm[""]` mutation on the SECOND operand (only reachable when the legacy
  hyphen alias is the one carrying the value) and the ternary's array branch
- an empty list yields [] -- boundary case, and a genuinely distinct one from
  the absent key: [] is truthy in JS so it ENTERS the if, and only
  Array.isArray's true branch mapping over nothing produces the same []

Threshold arithmetic: 174 of 232 are needed for 75%, and these take it to about
178, so the shard clears with margin rather than landing on the line.

Every expected value was confirmed by executing the built parser before being
asserted, not inferred from reading the source.

738f42f4fd feat(#2398): consensus gate for CYCLE_SUMMARY on multi-reviewer runs (#3755)
* test(#2398): failing-first suite for the CYCLE_SUMMARY consensus gate

Binds the gate before it exists, so the suite is RED against next.

The load-bearing rows are the two the closed PR #2417 did not have. The B2
regression row asserts a judgment-class lone HIGH counts WITHOUT corroboration
when its raiser is unmarked — if anyone re-couples that class to corroboration,
more reviewers again produce a weaker gate than one, which is what closed #2417.
The parity row asserts every marker literal the gate names is one
review-lane-runner actually emits, so the gate cannot key on a signal nothing
produces; a mutation row and a seeded fast-check property prove that guard runs
its failure branch rather than only reading a correct tree.

Also pinned: gate position before Counting rules, the untouched CYCLE_SUMMARY
line shape the orchestrator greps, fence balance, the single-reviewer no-op,
classification by what a claim asserts rather than by citation presence, the
all-marked fail-open, current_actionable staying out of scope, and the
leading-marker requirement that stops a review which merely quotes a marker
from suppressing its own findings.

* feat(#2398): consensus gate for CYCLE_SUMMARY on multi-reviewer runs

With review.reviewer_instances running several reviewer identities off one
adapter, any single instance's fabricated HIGH could force a full replan cycle
on its own. Across ~9 real cycles on two projects each of four instances
fabricated at least once, and each was also the most accurate reviewer in some
other cycle, so dropping to fewer reviewers trades away real signal.

The gate engages only when 2+ reviewers actually ran, and weighs a lone HIGH by
what the claim asserts rather than by whether anyone agreed with it. An
existence claim -- a symbol, file, flag, commit or ID exists, is absent, or says
something specific -- counts only if source-grounding confirms it or another
reviewer raised the same concern. A judgment claim -- a design or correctness
property -- counts unless that reviewer's own section opens with an
evidence-quality discount marker the review lane already stamps
([reviewed-without-source-citations] #3194, [reviewed-without-repo-access]
#2176, or a diff-only lane).

That split is what resolves B2, the finding that closed PR #2417. B2 showed the
approved wording made more reviewers produce a WEAKER gate than one: condition
(a) pointed at the source-grounding pass, which verifies every symbol THE PLAN
cites and never takes reviewer claims as input, so a genuine architectural HIGH
that one reviewer caught and another missed was neither groundable nor
corroborated and stopped gating. Judgment-class findings are therefore exempt
from corroboration entirely -- reviewers catch materially different classes of
issue, and demanding two of them independently raise the same architectural
concern suppresses exactly what a multi-reviewer setup exists to surface.

Guards on the gate itself: an all-marked cycle disengages it, so a cycle in
which nothing was verified can never be counted as converged; the marker must
OPEN a reviewer's section, so a review that merely quotes a marker does not
suppress its own findings; a suppressed HIGH stays listed and tagged rather
than dropped; current_actionable is untouched; and a single-reviewer run is
unchanged.

No new command, config key, or dependency -- the gate reads signals that
already exist. The CYCLE_SUMMARY line shape the orchestrator greps is
unchanged; only the integer it computes moves, and only for 2+ reviewers.

Known limit, inherited rather than introduced: SOURCE_CITATION_RE checks
citation presence, not resolution, which src/review-lane-runner.cts records as
a deliberate #3194 scope boundary. A fabricated but plausible file:line still
gates.

Scope revised and re-approved on the issue before any code was written.

* test(#2398): make marker parity behavioral, and stop overclaiming the gate

Review found the parity tests were vacuous: they asserted a marker STRING
appeared in review-lane-runner.cjs's source text, never requiring the module or
calling the stampers, so they would pass even if stampUngroundedReview were
broken or never invoked. They now invoke the real exported functions and assert
what those functions PRODUCE — that an uncited review gains a leading marker
blockquote, that a review carrying a file:line does not, that a self-reported
blind review is stamped, and that stamping is idempotent. Removing the source
read also removes an incidental no-source-grep evasion via a parameterized path.

Review also found the changeset headline false for the class it matters most
in. The discount markers detect 'cited nothing' and 'had no repo access'; they
cannot detect 'drew a wrong conclusion from a real citation', so a judgment-class
finding invented by an evidence-bearing reviewer still counts alone. That is the
deliberate side of the tradeoff jags-faith named when closing #2417 — the
alternative is requiring corroboration for design findings, which is B2 — but
the changeset claimed lone hallucinations no longer force a cycle, full stop.
Corrected there, and stated plainly in docs/COMMANDS.md and the design record.

Also dropped the reviewer-instances.md entry from the emitted-drift ack: the
growth ratchet's currentSizes() scans only gsd-core/workflows/ and agents/
(tests/helpers/emitted-runtime.cjs:916-929), so references/ is outside it and
that entry acknowledged a delta the gate cannot see.

4918c62d76 feat(#2845): require provenance for UI-SPEC component inventories (#3745)
* test(#2845): failing-first suite for UI-SPEC inventory provenance

Binds two shared formats before either exists, so the suite is RED against
next: the gsd-ui-checker dimension roster (asserted independently on twelve
surfaces, eight English and four translated) and the provenance-line grammar
the UI-SPEC template emits and Dimension 7 consumes.

Every parity assertion is paired with a synthetic mutation case, so the guard's
failure branch executes rather than only reading a correct tree: limit-1 (a
surface still declaring 6), limit (7), limit+1 (8), a dropped dimension, a
label that drifts on one surface only, a non-contiguous roster, a duplicated
number, and a surface that stops declaring a count at all. A seeded fast-check
property renders the roster under formatting noise (CRLF, padding, interleaved
sections) and asserts the parse round-trips and is strictly sensitive to a
dropped heading.

Assertions are on parsed typed records, never raw substrings.

* docs: normalize design-a-ui-phase how-to to American English

House style for docs/ is American English (CLAUDE.md). This file carried
colour/initialisation/initialise/artefact throughout. Spelling only — no
content change; kept separate from the #2845 feature commit so the
release-notes classifier and the hotfix cherry-pick filter see it for what
it is.

* feat(#2845): require provenance for UI-SPEC component inventories

A UI-SPEC's component inventory was treated downstream as a closed allowlist
while the document recorded nothing about whether the list had been enumerated
from the installed design system or recalled from memory. A recalled inventory
is indistinguishable from an enumerated one, so an executor complying with the
spec builds against a fraction of what the package offers, and every gate stays
green because they assert semantics rather than composition.

The UI-SPEC template gains a Component Inventory slot carrying one of two
provenance lines: the command that enumerated the list, the count it returned,
the resolved package@version and the date; or a Could not enumerate record with
a real reason. gsd-ui-researcher gains an enumeration ladder and must record
the line rather than write the list from recall.

gsd-ui-checker gains Dimension 7. An inventory with no provenance line, a count
with no command, an empty could-not-enumerate reason, or a line still carrying
the template's unfilled placeholders BLOCKs; a partial line, a line placed below
its table, or an honest negative record FLAGs; a complete line passes, and so
does a spec carrying no inventory at all, which keeps every UI-SPEC predating
the dimension validating unchanged. Whatever the verdict, an unsourced inventory
is reported as a non-exhaustive list of known-good components rather than a
closed allowlist, so the executor is never blocked from a component the spec
merely failed to mention. The checker never runs the recorded command.

The dimension count moved on all thirteen surfaces that assert it, across five
languages. Also corrects the claim in the English, Korean and Portuguese how-tos
that this checker applies a scored six-pillar rubric — that rubric belongs to
/gsd-ui-review's retroactive audit.

72819a4616 fix(#3031): opt-in reclaim of GSD hooks orphaned in ~/.kimi (#3731)
* test(#3031): failing-first coverage for opt-in ~/.kimi legacy reclaim

Drives the user-reachable installer surface against a sandbox HOME seeded
with the pre-#2755 wreckage: a GSD [[hooks]] block, hooks bundle and
CommonJS marker orphaned in ~/.kimi by a --kimi-code install.

Covers the reclaim itself plus the four guards the diagnosis identified as
negative space: opt-in only (no flag, no deletion), user-authored TOML and
hook files preserved, a --kimi install never reclaiming its own root, and
the KIMI_SHARE_DIR/KIMI_CODE_HOME collision where both roots resolve to one
directory. Adds a fast-check property that stripping the block never
destroys user content.

Red until --reclaim-kimi-legacy exists.

Refs #3031

* fix(#3031): opt-in reclaim of GSD hooks orphaned in ~/.kimi

A --kimi-code install older than 1.10.0 wrote its GSD [[hooks]] block, hook
bundle and CommonJS marker into Kimi CLI's ~/.kimi. #2755 fixed the
destination but could not reclaim what the old bug already wrote: the stale
block is byte-identical to a legitimate Kimi CLI one — both runtimes render
the same bytes for the same root, since the command paths derive from the
hooks root, not the runtime — so no inspection can tell litter from a working
install.

Cleanup is therefore opt-in. `--reclaim-kimi-legacy` on a --kimi-code install
removes GSD's own artifacts from the legacy root; without it nothing is
touched, so a dual-product machine keeps Kimi CLI's hooks and #2755's
acceptance criterion holds.

Extracts the uninstall path's removal sequence into reclaimKimiHooksRoot() and
drives both callers through it, so the reclaim removes precisely what a real
uninstall removes rather than a hand-copied second implementation. Guards the
wrong-runtime case (a --kimi install would delete its own hooks) and the
KIMI_SHARE_DIR/KIMI_CODE_HOME collision where both roots resolve to one
directory.

Also corrects two pre-#2755 leftovers in the same surface that told users to
run `--kimi --config-dir ~/.kimi-code` — the form that produces this very
defect, since --config-dir moves only the skills root — and adds the missing
--kimi-code entry to the installer's own help.

Regression coverage folded into tests/kimi-upgrades.test.cjs beside the #2755
cases, per the regression-test-naming lint.

Fixes #3031

* fix(#3031): never reclaim ~/.kimi when this run also installs kimi

Found by the isolated adversarial review pass and independently while tracing
--all ordering, then reproduced.

selectRuntimesFromArgs orders 'kimi' before 'kimi-code' in both --all and an
explicit --kimi --kimi-code, and installAllRuntimes installs in that order. So
--all --reclaim-kimi-legacy installed a fresh, legitimate Kimi CLI hooks block
into ~/.kimi and then deleted it moments later from the kimi-code leg — exiting
0 and reporting success while leaving the user with no Kimi CLI hooks at all.
The collision guard could not catch it: kimi-code's own root is ~/.kimi-code, a
genuinely different directory.

The flag asserts "I only use Kimi Code"; installing kimi in the same invocation
falsifies that, so the reclaim is skipped with a notice.

Also hardens the collision guard itself. It compared path.resolve strings,
which returns false for two spellings of ONE directory — measured, not assumed:
a symlinked alias and a case variant on a case-insensitive filesystem both
compared unequal, so the guard would not have fired and the install would have
deleted its own freshly-written hooks. isSameDirectory now compares directories
via resolve, then dev+ino identity, then realpath.

Regression tests for all three cases; the two alias tests probe the real
filesystem and t.skip() where the alias cannot exist.

Refs #3031

* docs(#3031): reattach reclaimKimiHooksRoot's JSDoc to its own function

Inserting isSameDirectory anchored on the function name, which placed the
helper between reclaimKimiHooksRoot's doc block and the function it documents.
isSameDirectory ended up with two stacked doc blocks above it and
reclaimKimiHooksRoot with none.

Refs #3031

* fix(#3031): warn when --reclaim-kimi-legacy cannot apply

The flag only acts inside the kimi-code GLOBAL install branch. Passed with any
other runtime, or with --local, it was consumed in silence: exit 0, no cleanup,
no message. For a cleanup the user explicitly asked for, silence is
indistinguishable from "it ran and found nothing".

The scope warning is raised at argument-resolution time rather than inside
install(). kimi-code declares hostBehaviors.localInstallDeferred, so install()
returns early at the deferral check long before the kimi-hooks-toml branch — a
guard placed there is unreachable, which is both dead code and a linted drift
shape in this repo. Verified reachable by spawning the real installer.

Neither case is a hard error: the flag stays composable with --all, where it is
legitimately inert for the other seventeen runtimes.

Refs #3031

* docs(#3031): document every case where --reclaim-kimi-legacy skips

Refs #3031

* fix(#3031): resolve local config dirs from RUNTIME_META alone in the install harness

The remote runner surfaced this: the #3031 warning test drives a local
kimi-code install and died with "The path argument must be of type string.
Received undefined".

runMinimalInstall carried a SECOND, hand-maintained local-dir map beside
RUNTIME_META, and it had drifted — four runtimes present in RUNTIME_META
(hermes, kimi, kimi-code, zcode) were missing from it, so scope:'local' for any
of them resolved path.join(root, undefined) and threw a bare TypeError naming
neither the runtime nor the map at fault. #3023 had already hit exactly this
for pi and fixed it by adding one more entry, which left the divergence itself
in place for the next runtime to rediscover.

Local scope now reads RUNTIME_META.localDir, the same table the global branch
already reads, with the same loud named error the global branch raises. Parity
verified for all 14 previously-supported runtimes: every one resolves to a
byte-identical configDir. cline keeps its ternary — its local artifacts land at
the project root itself, which is a real exception, not a directory name.

Guarded in golden-parity-single-source.test.cjs beside the buildParityManifest
anti-divergence test, and both arms of that guard were proven able to fail.

9a69a86f42 enhance(#2971): strict planning filter mode for /gsd-pr-branch (#3720)
* test(#2971): failing-first suite for the pr-branch planning-path filter

Binds the not-yet-built planning.pr_strict mode and the corrected filter recipe
for /gsd-pr-branch across six layers: pure classification and forbidden-path
predicates, real-git fixtures that run the cherry-pick filter loop end to end,
config-key registration through the real CLI and both manifests, the executed
worktree-materialization claim the issue's triage asked to establish, fast-check
properties over arbitrary path sets, and a drift guard over the shipped workflow.

Two live defects in today's shipped recipe are pinned as regressions, both
reproduced empirically first: `git rm -r --cached` stages a deletion of any
.planning/ path the target branch already tracks, so the generated PR removes the
base branch's planning files; and the same command leaves the cherry-picked file
untracked on disk, so a second commit touching that path aborts the pick with
"untracked working tree files would be overwritten" and every remaining commit is
silently dropped.

The test helper parses the canonical path lists out of gsd-core/workflows/pr-branch.md
rather than restating them, so the workflow stays the single source of truth and the
suite cannot drift from what ships.

Refs #2971

* feat(#2971): strict planning filter mode for /gsd-pr-branch

Adds planning.pr_strict — a boolean, default false, that selects what
/gsd-pr-branch means by "filtered". Default mode is unchanged: structural
planning state survives into the PR branch and the nine transient
subdirectories do not. Strict mode drops every .planning/ path, structural
files included, and carries a commit over only when it touches at least one
file outside .planning/.

Strict mode is what makes planning.commit_docs: true safe for a project that
versions its planning tree locally but publishes none of it. The alternative
posture, commit_docs: false, silently costs parallel executor isolation — a
worktree is checked out from a commit, so an untracked or ignored .planning/
is simply absent inside it and the executor has no PLAN.md to read. That claim
is now established by an executed fixture rather than inherited.

The two path lists are declared once and both projections derived from them,
so create_pr_branch and verify can no longer disagree about what the filter
promised. verify previously counted every .planning/ path against a documented
success criterion of zero while create_pr_branch was specified to preserve five
structural files, so a correct run reported itself as failed on every phase
that touched STATE.md — which is every phase. It now asserts against the active
mode, and names the .planning/ paths default mode deliberately keeps rather
than trading a wrong signal for silence.

Two verified defects in the same recipe are fixed alongside, because strict
mode would have amplified both. `git rm -r --cached` staged a deletion for any
.planning/ path the target branch already tracked, so the generated PR removed
the base branch's planning files — under strict mode that would have been the
entire tree. The same command left the picked file untracked on disk, so a
second commit touching that path aborted the cherry-pick with "untracked
working tree files would be overwritten" and every remaining commit was
silently dropped. Both were reproduced against real git before being fixed.
The filter now forces excluded paths back to what the PR branch's HEAD carries,
in the index and the working tree; a conflict outside the filter halts instead
of being improvised past; a commit left empty by filtering is skipped rather
than failing. A clean-working-tree precondition makes the worktree half safe.

Closes #2971

* fix(#2971): unwind the checkout on a conflict halt, and test the real recipe

Two review findings, both fixed in place.

The isolated adversarial pass found that the conflict-outside-the-filter branch
exited while leaving the user checked out on the half-built PR branch with
cherry-pick state still live — this loop runs in the user's own working
directory, so stranding them there is a real cost even though it is not a
vulnerability. The branch now aborts the pick, returns to the original branch,
removes the partial PR branch, and says so before exiting.

The standards pass found the L2 fixtures executed a hand-written mirror of the
cherry-pick filter recipe rather than the recipe itself, so a reordering in the
workflow would not have been caught — and the order is load-bearing, since
restoring a path from HEAD before removing it inverts the filter. The helper now
extracts the canonical loop from the shipped workflow and the fixtures execute
that verbatim, which also gives the conflict-halt unwind above real coverage.
The drift guard additionally pins the two commands' relative order and asserts
the workflow carries exactly one canonical loop.

Also records the publication gate in the CONTEXT.md glossary next to the commit
gate it is distinct from.

Refs #2971

* fix(#2971): make the conflict-halt unwind actually unwind, and use the colon slash form

The remote matrix caught two defects in the previous commit.

The halt path claimed to restore the original branch but did not. `git
cherry-pick --abort` does not apply to a single `--no-commit` pick with no
sequencer file, and the fallback left the unmerged index in place, which makes
`git checkout` refuse — a failure the `2>/dev/null || true` then swallowed, so
the user was told they had been restored while still sitting on the half-built
PR branch. The unwind now drops sequencer state, hard-resets the disposable PR
branch to clear the unmerged index, and only claims a restore when the checkout
actually succeeded; when it does not, it says where the user is and gives them
the two commands to finish it by hand. Verified against real git: exit 1, the
conflict named, HEAD back on the original branch, the partial branch gone, a
clean tree and no CHERRY_PICK_HEAD.

Two runtime-loaded source artifacts used the retired `/gsd-<cmd>` hyphen form,
which names a command no runtime registers. The canonical authoring token for
workflows and references is `/gsd:<cmd>`; docs keep the hyphen form, so the
documentation added in this branch is unaffected. The comment in src/config.cts
moves to the colon form too, since it propagates into the generated lib.

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

Binds the approved triage shape before any of it exists:

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

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

Refs #2856

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Verified on the remote runner.

Closes #2856

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

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

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

Verified on the remote runner.

Refs #2856

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

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

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

Two findings worth naming:

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

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

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

Verified on the remote runner.

Refs #2856

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

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

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

Only ack what the check actually reports.

8df5cb36c2 enhance(#2951): refuse [VERIFIED] for a compatibility claim resting on absent metadata (#3718)
* test(#2951): pin the absent-evidence provenance contract (failing first)

17 tests / 22 anchors on the deployed agent text. Measured against the parent
commit: 20 anchors fail, 2 pass. The two that pass are the sibling-integrity
guards on the package-name and in-repo-value rules -- green before and after is
their intended signature.

Refs #2951

* enhance(#2951): refuse [VERIFIED] for a compatibility claim resting on absent metadata

A claim of the form "X does not support Y" drawn from MISSING metadata -- no
python_requires, no engines field, no per-version classifier, no changelog entry,
no matching support-matrix row -- no longer earns [VERIFIED] however
authoritative the source consulted. An absence is silence about every value, so
the same evidence would "prove" both the version being ruled out and the version
being standardized on. The only route from an absence to [VERIFIED] is a positive
falsification attempt with its failing output pasted; everything short of that is
[ASSUMED], which the file already routes to "needs user confirmation before
becoming a locked decision".

Third member of the family beside the package-name and in-repo-value provenance
rules, mirroring PR #2768's shape. A present declared constraint and an
affirmatively documented incompatibility are untouched.

Closes #2951

* fix(#2951): close the allow-list ambiguity and the mutation gap review found

Findings from the isolated adversarial pass and the two-axis review, all fixed:

MAJOR (x2, one root cause) -- the absence clause and the present-constraint
carve-out gave opposite verdicts on the same evidence for the commonest real
case: a classifier list enumerating :: 3.9 through :: 3.13 with no :: 3.14. A
researcher could read the enumerated list as a "declared" positive constraint
and re-earn [VERIFIED], which is also the evasion vector. The rule now states
the decision procedure -- does the declaration bound EVERY value or only the
ones it names -- and closes the positive-reframing restatement explicitly. New
contract test pins all four clauses.

MAJOR -- 'licenses a positive falsification attempt as the route to [VERIFIED]'
asserted two independent substrings and never that the route lands on
[VERIFIED]. A mutant swapping the tag for [CITED] or [ASSUMED] inverted the
rule and survived all 17 tests. Now pinned as one joined sentence.

MINOR -- the attributable-failure test regex-matched illustrative examples
("a missing certificate, a wrong host"), so a copy-edit would break it for no
reason; relaxed to the substantive clause. The no-paraphrase guard counted only
the heading, missing the drift mode in its own name; it now also pins the core
proposition to one occurrence, and the test name matches what it checks. An
off-by-one in the new allow-list regex bound (141 actual vs 140) is fixed.

MINOR -- docs/AGENTS.md listed four of the five governed absence forms while
the agent prose, docs/COMMANDS.md and the changeset listed five; three copies
disagreeing on list membership is the drift this repo treats as a defect.

SCOPE -- removed docs/how-to/verify-a-dependency-compatibility-claim.md and its
docs/README.md index line. Both reviewers flagged them as a seventh and eighth
surface beyond the six the requester capped, and CONTRIBUTING's "Agent or skill
change" row requires only docs/AGENTS.md. The actionable four-case guidance is
retained in docs/COMMANDS.md, which is inside the approved scope.

Ack byte figures corrected for the final size: 44250 -> 46602 (+2352), 2550
bytes headroom under the LARGE cap of 49152.

Refs #2951

* docs(#2951): restore the how-to the phase gate requires

Reverses the removal in 6404b43d3. Both /code-review axes had flagged
docs/how-to/verify-a-dependency-compatibility-claim.md and its docs/README.md
index line as a seventh and eighth surface beyond the six the requester capped,
and CONTRIBUTING.md's required-docs row for an "Agent or skill change" names
only docs/AGENTS.md, so they were dropped.

gsd-phase-gate.cjs then denied gh pr create: it refuses when the recorded
enablement sequence has more than one step and the how-to quadrant is empty.
The sequence here is genuinely four steps -- run plan-phase, read the [ASSUMED]
claim, probe or cite or accept it unlocked, then answer discuss-phase's
checkpoint -- and the last step lands on a different capability's surface, so a
reference table cannot carry it. Compressing the sequence to one step to unlock
howToSkipReason would be gaming the gate, which is the same Goodhart failure
this whole change exists to close.

A machine-enforced repo gate outranks two reviewers' scope preference and my own
reading, so the page is restored and the PR body discloses the two extra
surfaces instead of hiding them. Reverting is a one-file change if a maintainer
prefers the tighter scope.

8da2dd3ad2 feat(#2790): add read-only planning.inspect schema-v1 snapshot query (#3708)
* feat(#2790): add read-only planning.inspect schema-v1 snapshot query

Adds a read-only query emitting a schema-versioned JSON projection of .planning/
so downstream harness UIs can consume planning state without parsing GSD's
Markdown a second time.

Composed strictly from the ADR-3180 section 7 owners plus parsePlanDocument,
parseRequirements and parseUatItems; markdown structure is read through the
Markdown Sectionizer and Markdown Table Model seams. It declares its own flat
external schema rather than serializing PlanningSnapshot, which is the
diagnostic-rule subject and still growing.

Extracts plan-document parsing out of cmdPhasePlanIndex into a shared leaf
module so phase.plan-index and planning.inspect cannot drift, including the
plan-id derivation both surfaces report.

Also fixes parseRequirements dropping the separator delimiter used by the
shipped requirements template, surfaced while wiring the requirement rows.

* fix(#2790): close spec gaps and a raw-text test assertion found in review

Review findings from the standards, spec and security passes:

- phases[] rows carry goal and dependencies, the two per-phase elements the
  issue Summary names that had no corresponding field. Goal is bounded to the
  section's leading prose so the Depends-on line, the Plans checklist and the
  wave annotations are not duplicated into it.
- requirement rows carry their own diagnostic codes, so a consumer no longer
  has to string-parse the global diagnostics subject to correlate.
- roadmap_acceptance.checkbox is looked up through the phase-id key owners.
  It was compared raw against the on-disk directory name, so it read null for
  every real-world slugged phase directory and the evidence channel was inert.
- the hostile-input test asserts the structured payload instead of matching the
  raw stdout string. The absence proof over raw stdout is kept deliberately.

* fix(#2790): register planning in the runtime usage list and repair fixtures

Remote runner reported 9 failures on 9b3f9aa. Two root causes, both fixed:

- gsd-tools.cjs registered the planning family in HOST_COMMAND_ROUTERS but
  never added it to TOP_LEVEL_USAGE's Commands list. Those are two surfaces a
  parity test guards, and the top-of-file block comment is not the runtime
  help string. A real wiring gap that every local gate and three review passes
  missed.

- the new suite's fixtures could not produce a resolvable phase set. STATE.md
  frontmatter omitted the milestone field, which ADR-3180 7.2 rule 1 makes the
  primary milestone selector, so the phase set scoped unscoped and every
  percentage was correctly withheld. Separately declarePhase returned a path
  without creating the directory, so a phase declared but never written to left
  phases empty. Both reproduced against the built module before fixing.

No assertion was weakened. The withholding path is still exercised and still
returns null when the roadmap is absent.

* chore(#2790): backfill changeset pr number

* test(#2790): cover every enumerated matrix row and contain a symlink escape

Reverses a silent deferral. An earlier revision left 23 of the 78 enumerated
matrix rows unimplemented and 7 more as one-off manual checks, with a paragraph
in the artifact and the PR body describing the gap. CLAUDE.md is explicit that
such a note is not a fix and is not surfacing. The rows are implemented instead
and the manual-evidence bucket is gone: 49 test cases become 88, covering all 78.

Writing the symlink row proved a real leak: a *-PLAN.md symlinked outside
.planning/ had its content emitted into the payload, confirmed via a direct call
and the spawned CLI. readDocument now resolves target and planning root with
realpathSync and rejects an escape, returning the ordinary unreadable-document
shape. Tested both ways, because a containment check that over-rejects is its own
defect: an escaping symlink leaks nothing and degrades that plan alone, while a
legitimately relocated .planning/ symlink stays fully readable.

The three new modules are registered in the mutation COVERED registry, which had
been reporting has_work false and skipping the Stryker gate entirely. Provisional
non-binding floors so the shards run and report; raised to the measured value
before merge, since the registry forbids calibrating from a local run.

* fix(#2790): satisfy the mutation ratchet contract and scope the 1MB test

Remote runner reported 16 failures on 8c451ed. Two causes.

The COVERED registry has a paired contract the earlier commit violated: every
module needs a matching RATCHET_BASELINE entry, and minScore must be between 50
and 100 with minScore === baseline. The provisional floor of 1 was illegal on
both counts. All three modules now sit at 50 — the registry's own enforced
minimum — with matching baselines. The score cannot be measured locally: the
shard runs node --test, which this repo hard-blocks, so CI is the only source.
Floors are raised to the measured value once this PR's shards report; a shard
below 50 means the tests need strengthening, since the floor cannot go lower.

The 1MB test was measuring the test harness rather than the product. The command
handles the oversized payload correctly by spilling to a tmpfile and resolving it
back, but the resolved stdout then exceeds runGsdTools' maxBuffer and the helper
reports ENOBUFS. It now uses --pick so stdout stays one byte while the full 1MB
document is still read and parsed end to end.

* fix(#2790): wire containment across every document read this command drives

An isolated security review of the containment control found the boundary logic
sound but not comprehensively wired: two content reads reached the filesystem
without it.

An escaped phase DIRECTORY could enumerate external filenames into the file
fields and diagnostic subjects. Both enumeration sites now containment-check the
directory before reading. Worth recording that the leak was already prevented one
layer earlier than the review claimed: Dirent#isDirectory() reports false for a
directory symlink, so such a directory never becomes a phase row at all. The
guard is defense-in-depth for a direct caller and for platforms where a reparse
point reports as a directory.

A *-VERIFICATION.md symlinked outside the root leaked one frontmatter value
verbatim, because readVerificationStatus does its own read and copies an
unrecognized status into the payload's next_action. Closed from the consumer
side through that function's existing fs injection seam, so src/verification.cts
keeps its signature and its other callers are untouched.

The reviewer additionally rated a forged status: passed as an integrity bypass.
It is not: anyone able to plant the symlink can plant a real VERIFICATION.md
saying the same thing. The incremental risk is confidentiality, which is what
these fixes close.

src/plan-scan.cts is deliberately unchanged: isPlanSuperseded reads
symlink-followed content but yields only a derived boolean, no document text.

* test(#2790): give the mutation shards an in-process surface

Two Stryker shards were CANCELLED at the 15-minute cap, not failed on score.
CI log: 640 mutants instrumented, and the dry run reported 'Ran 1 tests in 20
seconds' because the shards pointed at the integration suite, where nearly every
case spawns a gsd-tools subprocess and Stryker's command runner treats the whole
test-runner invocation as a single test. 640 x 20s cannot finish in 15 minutes;
at the kill it was 27/640 with an ETA over an hour.

Every other COVERED module points at a property or unit file, and the workflow's
own paths filter lists exactly those two patterns. In-process is the intended
mutation surface; the shards were pointed at the wrong shape of test.

Adds tests/planning-inspect.unit.test.cjs — 39 cases in 10 describes that spawn
nothing and call the built modules directly. plan-document and the router need no
filesystem at all, one being a pure content-to-object parser and the other taking
an injected mock. The three shards now point here. The 91-case integration suite
is untouched and still runs in the normal test job.

* chore(#2790): ratchet mutation floors to the measured CI scores

CI run 32392791843 measured all three shards, which is the only source the
registry accepts — local runs count timeouts as kills and inflate badly.

  planning-command-router  95.65 -> floor 94
  plan-document            76.58 -> floor 75
  planning-inspect         57.03 -> floor 56

Applied the registry's own rule, floor(score) - 1, and updated RATCHET_BASELINE
to match, since the ratchet test enforces equality.

planning-inspect sits well below the file's target of 80 and is the obvious
ratchet candidate as its tests improve. planning-command-router already exceeds
the target. The placeholder comment about floors pending measurement is removed
rather than left standing as a false statement.

77fa08f1e8 fix(#2773): feed the spec-phase edge probe English-translated requirement text (#3713)
* test(#2773): failing-first contract and premise tests for translated edge-probe input

Locks the Step 5.5 contract that a response_language project must feed the
edge probe an English translation of each requirement's text, and binds that
advice to measured engine behavior: the same requirement classifies to zero
shapes in Portuguese and to collection/adjacency/empty/ordering in English.

Also pins the honest limit — the issue's own repro sentence classifies to []
in English too, so translation is necessary but not sufficient and the
authored shapes override is the documented fallback.

Red before the doc change; the assertions are all false today.

Refs #2773

* fix(#2773): feed the spec-phase edge probe English-translated requirement text

The shape cues in src/edge-probe.cts are English word-boundary regexes, so a
project running with response_language set wrote its SPEC requirements into the
Step 5.5 $REQS_JSON heredoc in that language, matched no cue, classified to zero
shapes, and landed every row in the unclassified sentinel (#1110). The taxonomy
contributed nothing and --auto left it all unresolved — the probe was a silent
no-op for exactly the spec type it exists to harden.

Step 5.5 now states that the $REQS_JSON payload is engine input rather than
user-facing output, so the response_language rule does not govern it: each
requirement's text carries a faithful English translation, the SPEC keeps its
original language, and requirement ids are never translated or renumbered. The
instruction sits before the heredoc on purpose — the downstream APPLICABLE=0
warning fires only when every requirement is unclassified, so a partly-classified
non-English spec would otherwise slip through with no signal at all.

Measured against the compiled engine: the same requirement returns [] in
Portuguese and collection -> adjacency/empty/ordering in English. Also measured:
the issue's own repro sentence returns [] in English too, so translation is
necessary but not sufficient — the instruction therefore points at the authored
shapes override for prose carrying no cue in any language rather than promising
that translation restores classification.

Doc scope only, per the triage disposition on the issue. The compiled engine is
untouched; the lang-hint / per-language cue-set fix is a separate follow-up.

Closes #2773

* fix(#2773): clean up the edge-probe temp file on the placeholder-guard exit path

Surfaced by the isolated security review of this branch. Between the mktemp and
the unconditional cleanup, Step 5.5 has two sibling guards that disagreed about
their own invariant: the engine-failure guard runs rm -f "$REQS_JSON" before
exiting, while the empty/placeholder guard directly above it exited without one.
A spec run that tripped the placeholder check therefore stranded a temp file
holding the SPEC's requirement text in TMPDIR, once per failed run.

The added contract test walks the region between the mktemp and the
unconditional cleanup and asserts no exit path leaves the file behind, so the
two guards can no longer drift apart. Proven to bind: run against the pre-fix
file the walker reports the leaking exit; against the fixed file it reports none.

Refs #2773

* docs(#2773): record the edge probe's English-cue input constraint in the predicate store

The co-change gate flagged CONTEXT.md (13 co-changes with spec-phase.md) and
docs/CONFIGURATION.md (11) as candidate-missing-updates, and both were real
gaps rather than incidental coupling.

CONTEXT.md's EdgeCompletenessProbeModule entry documents the input contract for
classifyShape but did not record that SHAPE_CUES are English word-boundary
patterns — so the predicate store implied text was language-agnostic, which is
what a future agent reads before touching this seam.

docs/CONFIGURATION.md's response_language row is what a non-English project
reads when it turns the setting on; it now names the one deliberate exception
and links to the FEATURES.md explanation, so the interaction is discoverable
from the config key rather than only from the workflow.

CONTEXT-INDEX.json regenerated via gen-context-index.cjs --write. The drift-ack
fragment is updated for the final byte range and now also records the
placeholder-guard cleanup fix folded into the same block.

Refs #2773

* fix(#2773): append the growth rationale to the existing spec-phase.md ack entry

The remote runner caught this: emitted-attribution.test.cjs pins the
0000-legacy-migration.json spec-phase.md entry permanently (the #2914 migration
regression test asserts the exact '31987 -> 31997' delta text survives), so
removing it to avoid a duplicate-key collision with a new fragment broke that
test instead of satisfying the ratchet.

The entry is an accreting log, not a single-use slot — #2733, #3132 and #3102
were each appended to the same reason string by later PRs, which is how a shared
growth key coexists with the rule that two ack sources may never name the same
path. This appends the #2773 rationale the same way and drops the separate
fragment, whose spec-phase.md key was the collision.

Verified locally by reproducing both affected tests against the real fragment
before re-dispatching: the pinned delta survives, grown[0].acked is true,
staleAcks is empty, and all 35 entries still read as spent.

Refs #2773

* docs(#2773): add a how-to for probing edges in a non-English project

The phase gate's enablementSequence check caught a wrong call of mine. I had
recorded that no how-to was owed because the user takes zero extra steps — the
workflow translates the probe input itself. Written out, though, the sequence
from off to value is two steps and step 1 depends on response_language, a
setting owned by a different capability than the edge probe, which is exactly
the condition the how-to test names.

There is also real task content a reference table cannot carry: the three-way
split between a few unclassified rows (the classifier's recall gap), every row
unclassified (the probe could not read the spec at all), and the silent
partly-classified case where the APPLICABLE=0 warning never fires. That last
one is what a user would otherwise misread as a clean bill of health.

Shaped after the resolve-edge-coverage-findings / resolve-unreachable-guard
siblings and indexed from docs/README.md next to its closest relative.

adb46cdd85 feat(#2734): surface STATE.md commit-age on the statusline (#3700)
* test(#2734): failing-first suite for the statusline STATE.md freshness marker

Binds the contract before any hook change exists: a `state ~N commits back`
segment gated on the state_head stamp landed by #2622, firing at the same
advisory threshold /gsd-health's W024 uses rather than at > 0.

Covers all five acceptance criteria — threshold parity (19/20/21 boundaries),
both renderers including formatGsdStateCompact, an exact spawn-count assertion,
repo-pinning and sub_repos degradation, and behavioral parity against
readStateHeadFreshness rather than a source-grep of the two fence copies.

52 example-based tests plus 5 seeded fast-check properties. Red now by design.

* feat(#2734): surface STATE.md commit-age on the statusline

Adds an opt-in `state ~N commits back` marker to the GSD-state segment,
consuming the `state_head` stamp and freshness contract landed by #2622.
A solo developer returning to a project reads "Phase 4, executing" in
STATE.md and acts on it, without noticing the codebase moved 40 commits
since that line was written. /gsd-health reports it as W024, but only if
you think to run it; the statusline is the surface you see without asking.

Fires at STATE_HEAD_ADVISORY_COMMITS (20), the same threshold W024 uses,
not at > 0: with commit_docs:true the commit carrying a STATE.md sync
advances HEAD by one, so > 0 would alarm permanently on a fresh project.

Costs exactly one bounded git subprocess per render and none when
disabled. `rev-list --left-right --count` answers ancestry and distance
together, and repo pinning is a filesystem check mirroring
projectOwnsItsRepo rather than a --show-toplevel compare, which is
unreliable on macOS /private/var and Windows 8.3 paths.

Every unresolvable input degrades to the tri-state unknown -- the marker
is absent, never a "fresh" claim the project cannot substantiate: a
malformed stamp, a root that does not own its .git, a sub_repos
workspace, history rewound past the stamp, or git being unavailable.

Also collapses statusline config resolution onto one resolveStatuslineOptions()
seam. runStatusline() and renderStatusline() duplicated it byte-for-byte;
one copy is what keeps a newly-added key from reaching only one of them.

* test(#2734): route the e2e spawn through the process seam and fix fixture leaks

Review findings from the two orthogonal passes:

- `bothEntryPointsResolveOptionsIdentically` spawned a child and substring-matched
  its stdout to test a pure function. It now calls resolveStatuslineOptions()
  directly — no subprocess, no text matching.
- `skipsFreshnessWorkWhenTodoTaskActive` genuinely needs a child (the !task gate
  lives in runStatusline, which reads stdin), so it now spawns through
  tests/helpers/process-seam.cjs and proves the negative with a filesystem fact:
  the git shim appends to a marker file on every invocation, and the assertion is
  that the marker never appears. Stronger than asserting text is missing, and it
  drops the last stdout substring match in the block.
- Every fixture-creating test now registers `t.after(() => cleanup(dir))` instead
  of a trailing cleanup(dir), which leaked the temp repo on assertion failure.
  derivationAgreesWithStateModule reassigns `dir` across five fixtures, so it
  binds each directory at scheduling time rather than cleaning only the last.

Also corrects markerCoexistsWithMilestoneComplete, which asserted the wrong
expectation rather than finding a code defect: `percent` drives the progress bar
too, so the milestone segment reads "v1.9 [##########] 100%". The marker appends
after it, which is what the test exists to prove.

CONTEXT.md's opt-in statusline key list was missing statusline.show_git as well
as the new key; both are now enumerated.

2fca0e17e4 enhance(#2554): resolve code review depth from path-scoped override rules (#3695)
* test(#2554): failing-first suite for path-scoped code review depth overrides

Binds the not-yet-built code-review-depth module: segment-aware path-prefix
matching of a changed-file set against ordered {paths,depth} rules, resolution
order flag > strongest matching rule > global > standard, typed validation
errors, and the large-scope downgrade boundary. Also proves behaviorally that
workflow.code_review_depth_overrides is not yet a registered config key.

Refs #2554

* feat(#2554): resolve code review depth from path-scoped override rules

Adds workflow.code_review_depth_overrides — an ordered array of {paths, depth}
rules matched against a review's changed-file set by segment-aware path-prefix
comparison. Resolution order is --depth= flag, then the strongest matching rule,
then workflow.code_review_depth, then standard; a matching rule replaces the
global rather than being max'd with it, so quick and standard rules stay
meaningful. Glob metacharacters are a hard configuration error rather than sugar
for a prefix, and malformed rules halt the review instead of degrading to
standard. The resolver is pure and reports its own provenance, so the workflow
can print the resolved depth and the rule that matched. The pre-existing
>50-file deep-to-standard downgrade moves into the module and now names the rule
it overrode.

The key is registered centrally rather than as a capability config slice: the
federated slice channel admits only boolean/string/number/enum, so an array
slice would be dropped as malformed.

Closes #2554

* test(#2554): correct depth-provenance assertions and pin out-of-repo paths

Two corrections to the failing-first suite. The source assertion for a
non-matching rule with no global configured expected 'config'; with no global
set the depth comes from the default, and a companion assertion tolerated
either value, so both passed against an implementation that derived provenance
from whether any rules existed rather than from where the depth came from.

The out-of-repo absolute-path case used a home-directory path that matched
neither implementation, so it never exercised the defect it named. It now pins
the discriminating cases: an absolute path outside the repo root must not match
a repo-relative rule, and one under the root must.

* docs(#2554): document path-scoped code review depth overrides

Reference rows for workflow.code_review_depth_overrides in the configuration,
features and commands references plus the locale copies that carry those tables,
and in the planning-config reference. Explanation of why escalation is
whole-review rather than per-file and why v1 is prefix-only. New how-to for
scoping review depth by path, carrying the configuration-error reason table and
the distinction between nothing to report and could not look. CONTEXT.md
glossary entry and the INVENTORY row for the new CLI module.

ja-JP and ko-KR CONFIGURATION.md carry no code_review keys at all, and ko-KR and
pt-BR FEATURES.md carry no code-review config table, so those files are
deliberately untouched.

* fix(#2554): make the depth-misconfiguration halt executable and reject control chars

Three review findings, all in this change.

The misconfiguration halt was prose rather than shell: the error-printing fence
was followed by an unconditional extraction fence, so an ok:false result threw
and left the depth empty instead of stopping the review. Prose is not a guard —
the two fences are now one block with a real conditional, and anything that is
not the literal string true fails closed.

An interior control character in a rule path survived validation and reached the
provenance string and the summary box; rule paths now reject control characters
via a new PATH_CONTROL_CHAR reason, after the glob check so precedence is
unchanged. That in turn makes the field record safe to delimit, so the seven
node invocations that each re-parsed the same result to read one field collapse
to one.

Also corrects the glossary entry's illustrative paths, which the glossary-ref
check read as real repository references.

* fix(#2554): use the fast-check v4 string API and acknowledge workflow growth

Two failures from the remote matrix on d3111f45, both this branch's.

The property block built its segment arbitrary with fc.stringOf, removed in
fast-check v4. Because the arbitrary is constructed in the describe body, the
throw took out all four property tests rather than one — they had never
executed. Rewritten to fc.string({unit, ...}), the form this repo already uses
in emitted-attribution.test.cjs. Every other fast-check helper in the file was
audited against the installed module.

The emitted-attribution growth arm needed an acknowledgment for code-review.md,
which grew 5376 bytes. The pre-existing 3503 fragment keying the same file is
spent — its ripple was absorbed when #3503 merged, and the base file is exactly
the 34435-byte baseline this growth is measured against — so it cannot clear
anything, while the ack lint hard-fails on a duplicate key across two sources.
Removed it in favor of the new fragment, which is exactly how #3503 itself
replaced the spent 3191 fragment.

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

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

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

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

Closes #2401

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

Independent review found three defects in the recognizer:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Adding two files under gsd-core/references/ changes what the installer

fixtures went stale. Regenerated with npm run gen:install-tree; the
delta is exactly the two new reference paths per runtime, no removals.

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

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

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

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

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

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

360b3ebc5a chore(#2496): clear five newly-disclosed production advisories (#2497)
* chore(#2496): clear five newly-disclosed production advisories

The `#3588: npm audit --omit=dev reports zero advisories` gate began
failing mid-release. The v1.8.0 finalize dry run was green at 17:27:27Z;
GHSA-frvp-7c67-39w9 and GHSA-xgm2-5f3f-mvvc published at 18:17:25Z and
18:18:13Z, with fast-uri and two further hono advisories in the same
window. Nothing in the tree changed — the advisory database did.

All five arrive transitively through the one declared dependency
@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk -> @modelcontextprotocol/sdk.

Two-part fix, both following existing repo precedent:

1. `npm audit fix --omit=dev` (no --force) re-resolves fast-uri and hono
   inside their already-declared ranges. package.json untouched — the
   same approach as .changeset/witty-badgers-hum.md (body-parser) and
   .changeset/archived/fix-3588-npm-audit-clean.md. Clears the only high.

2. overrides["@hono/node-server"] = ">=2.0.5" for the remaining chain,
   which cannot resolve in-range (^1.19.9 cannot reach 2.0.5) because
   @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.29.0 is already latest and still declares
   the vulnerable range. Extends the block that already pins qs and
   body-parser. Resolves to 2.0.11.

Bumping @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk to ^0.3.x was tested and REJECTED:
0.3.216 moves @modelcontextprotocol/sdk to peerDependencies, which npm
auto-installs, so the chain survives and resolution pulls extra
advisories — 5 vulnerabilities including a high, versus 4 moderate.

Forced major sits under a dependency no tracked source imports (see
src/mcp-server.cts:22 — the JSON-RPC loop is hand-rolled precisely to
avoid the MCP SDK), so runtime risk is minimal. Revisit once upstream
ships a release depending on patched @hono/node-server.

npm audit --omit=dev: found 0 vulnerabilities.

3435218089 fix(#2452): stop shallow-fetching the base ref in three-dot-diff CI gates (#2485)
* fix(#2452): stop shallow-fetching the base ref in three-dot-diff CI gates

`mutation.yml` re-fetched the base branch with `--depth=1` after checking out
with `fetch-depth: 0`. The shallow re-fetch truncates the base ref's ancestry,
so `git diff --name-only origin/<base>...HEAD` in scripts/mutation-matrix.cjs
can no longer compute a merge base and aborts with
`fatal: origin/next...HEAD: no merge base` (exit 2).

The `detect` job then fails and the `mutate` shards never run — so the 80%
mutation-score threshold went UNVERIFIED rather than enforced. The failure is
branch-position dependent, which is why it went unnoticed: a branch already
level with the base incidentally passes (its merge base IS the single fetched
commit), while a branch that is BEHIND fails. Observed on PRs #2436 and #2005.

`changeset-required.yml` and `docs-required.yml` shallow-fetched the base ref
too (`--depth=50`), shrinking the same window further. All three now fetch the
BASE REF unshallowed.

Their shallow *checkout* depth is left at 50: that is a separate, deliberate
cost control with fail-closed semantics, owned by
tests/policy-lint-shallow-checkout.test.cjs. Only the base-ref fetch changes.

The two `${{ }}` interpolations in mutation.yml's run: blocks now pass the base
name through `env:`, matching the sibling workflows.

Regression coverage in tests/mutation-workflow-base-ref.test.cjs:
  - a per-workflow contract guard asserting the base fetch carries no --depth
    (RED on origin/next for all three files, GREEN here). The YAML step parser
    handles block scalars and skips commented-out steps, so a future refactor
    to a multi-line `run:` cannot silently degrade the guard.
  - a real-git mechanism proof with boundary coverage at the shallow edge:
    with the base advanced 60 commits past the branch point, --depth=1 and
    --depth=60 both fail with `no merge base`, --depth=61 (merge base exactly
    at the boundary) succeeds, and an unbounded fetch succeeds. Each variant
    uses an independent clone, because a plain fetch does not un-shallow a repo
    that already carries a .git/shallow boundary.

Also fixes a startup race in tests/run-with-timeout.test.cjs surfaced by this
branch's gsd-test run (C1, linux-node24). The heartbeat file only appeared
~100ms after the grandchild's runtime was up, but the window is 1s spanning two
cold node starts, so on a loaded runner the timeout fired before any heartbeat
existed and the precondition failed for reasons unrelated to reaping. The child
now writes its heartbeat once synchronously at startup; the frozen-vs-ticking
comparison that actually proves reaping is unchanged.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Closes #1951

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

* fix(#1951): address orthogonal review findings

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

04a0eb8d63 fix(#2450): CRLF-tolerant session-section rewrite + no-op-detection guard (#2482)
* fix(#2444): re-resolve body-parser to 2.3.0 in lockfile (GHSA-v422-hmwv-36x6)

GHSA-v422-hmwv-36x6 (body-parser DoS via invalid limit value, low severity,
published 2026-07-20T23:23:26Z) made tests/npm-integrity-gate.test.cjs
(#3588: root workspace production tree has no advisories) fail any subsequent
npm audit --omit=dev. The advisory affects body-parser >=2.0.0 <2.3.0 pulled
transitively via @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk -> @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
-> express -> body-parser@2.2.2.

express@5.2.1 already declares body-parser as ^2.2.1, so 2.3.0 is a valid
re-resolution within express's own compatibility range — no override needed.
Regenerated the lockfile via 'npm audit fix --omit=dev' which re-resolves
transitive deps within their declared ranges; package.json is unchanged.

Verified: npm audit --omit=dev reports 0/0/0/0/0 advisories; body-parser
now reads as 2.3.0 in 'npm ls body-parser --omit=dev'.

* test(#2450): failing-first CRLF regression for record-session insert path

cmdStateRecordSession's section-rewrite regexes (src/state.cts:1166,
:1195) used literal \\n which cannot match CRLF STATE.md delimiters.
The detector regex (CRLF-tolerant via $ under /m) entered the rewrite
branch, the writer regex silently no-op'd, but updated.push(...)/
sessionCreated=true ran unconditionally. Result: caller reported
recorded:true with 'Resume File' in updated, but the field was never
written to disk. With core.autocrlf=input, the CRLF working-tree file
produces no git diff, so the bug was invisible.

Adds three regression tests covering all three rewrite paths:
- CRLF STATE.md with ## Session and Resume file absent
- CRLF STATE.md with ## Session and Stopped at absent
- CRLF STATE.md with ## Session Continuity (bootstrap shape)

Each asserts the field IS on disk (the bug discriminator: the pre-fix
command's JSON output looked identical to a successful write).

* fix(#2450): CRLF-tolerant session-section rewrite + no-op-detection guard

Two regexes in cmdStateRecordSession used literal \\n which cannot match
CRLF STATE.md, silently no-op'ing the section rewrite while the CRLF-
tolerant detector above entered the branch. The reporter's exact repro:
on a CRLF STATE.md with one canonical session field absent, the command
returned recorded:true + updated:['Resume File'] but the field was never
written to disk.

Three changes:

1. src/state.cts:1166 (canonical ## Session rewrite regex): \\n -> \\r?\\n
2. src/state.cts:1195 (## Session Continuity insert regex): \\n -> \\r?\\n
3. Defensive invariant (#2450 class fix per reporter's suggestion): track
   whether the chosen branch's replace actually matched via callback flag.
   Only set sessionCreated=true and push to updated when rewriteMatched.
   Unreachable post-fix, but fail-loud is the right posture for a silent-
   success gate. If a future drift between the detector and writer regexes
   reintroduces the asymmetry, the caller will not see false updated entries.

Same canonical CRLF-tolerant form already in use at check-command-router.cts
:205 (extractPlanDesignatedSections). Same bug class previously fixed in
#1658, #1668, #2206, #2449.

* fix(#2450): address review followups + add changeset

Code-review + security-review both flagged the unreachable else at the
Session Continuity branch (defaulted rewriteMatched=true in dead code,
re-arming the bug class for future drift). Removed the else; the
remaining code path leaves rewriteMatched=false if linesToInsert is
empty, preserving the fail-loud posture.

Added scope-limitation doc to the rewriteMatched gate: it covers the
INSERT path only, not the earlier in-place stateReplaceField successes
(which DID land on disk and correctly push to updated unconditionally).

Tests:
- Normalized STATE_CRLF_SESSION_MISSING_RESUME fixture to match the
  canonical 6-key frontmatter of STATE_WITH_SESSION (code-review I2).
- Added mixed-ending test (LF frontmatter + CRLF body) to close
  CONTRIBUTING.md:490 'Mixed CRLF/LF newlines' requirement (I1).

Added Fixed changeset (code-review H1).

909a3b180b fix(#2470): install pi's extension as gsd.js so pi actually discovers it (#2478)
* test(#2470): failing-first — pi extension must satisfy pi's auto-discovery filter

pi auto-discovers extensions/ entries through isExtensionFile(), which accepts
only .ts and .js. GSD installs its extension as gsd.cjs, so pi silently skips
it: no /gsd command, no error, no log line.

Encodes pi's discovery PREDICATE rather than a literal filename, so the
contract keeps holding across future renames, and adds the migration-006 test
matrix for retiring the stale gsd.cjs left in pre-fix installs.

Red until the fix lands.

* fix(#2470): install pi's extension as gsd.js so pi actually discovers it

pi auto-discovers extensions/ entries via isExtensionFile(), which accepts
only .ts and .js and skips everything else silently. capabilities/pi declared
the dest as gsd.cjs, so the extension installed correctly and was then ignored
forever: no /gsd command, no error, no log line.

Install it as gsd.js. The in-repo source stays pi/gsd.cjs — tests require() it
directly and .cjs is unambiguous CommonJS; only the installed name has to
satisfy pi, and pi loads accepted files through jiti, which handles CJS and ESM
alike. (The reporter's premise that ~/.pi/agent/package.json declares
"type":"commonjs" does not hold — pi never writes that file.)

Renaming an installed artifact requires a migration record, so add 006 to
retire the stale gsd.cjs from pre-fix installs; without it the old path drops
out of the manifest and uninstall can never remove it. The migration plans
nothing for an unmanifested gsd.cjs: emitting remove-managed there would have
the executor downgrade it to preserve-user and mark it blocked, failing the
install for anyone who hand-placed their own file.

Also pins body-parser >=2.3.0 (GHSA-v422-hmwv-36x6). The advisory reaches the
production tree transitively via the Claude Agent SDK and fails the
npm-integrity gate, blocking any PR; pinned via the existing overrides idiom.

* fix(#2470): address orthogonal review findings + register migration checksum

Code review:
- pi/gsd.cjs's install docstring still told readers to copy the file to
  extensions/gsd.cjs — the exact silently-broken state this PR fixes. Anyone
  following it recreated the bug.
- Two stale extensions/gsd.cjs comments in install-minimal-hooks.test.cjs.

Security review:
- _installNativePluginIfDeclared confined nativePlugin.dir but joined
  nativePlugin.file onto the validated directory unchecked, so a descriptor
  whose file carried .., an absolute path, or a NUL byte would have written
  outside configHome. Not reachable in a shipped build (descriptors are
  first-party and compiled into the capability registry), but file is exactly
  the field this PR changes. Confine the full dest path instead; for a
  well-formed descriptor this resolves identically to the previous
  mkdir(dir) + join(dir, file). Covered by four new write-confinement tests.

Also register migration 006 in the #670 EXPECTED_CHECKSUMS baseline — shipped
migration bodies are locked to a committed checksum and a new migration fails
CI until it is listed.

* fix(#2470): never dereference a symlinked managed path when snapshotting

fs.copyFileSync follows symlinks, so a managed path replaced by a link had the
REFERENT's bytes copied into the migration journal's rollback and backup trees
— a gsd.cjs symlinked at a private key would land that key's contents under
gsd-migration-journal/. Deletion was already safe (fs.rmSync unlinks the link,
never the target); the copy was not.

Nothing GSD installs is ever a symlink, so the faithful snapshot of a symlinked
managed path is the link itself. copyPreservingSymlink recreates it, which
keeps rollback fidelity (restore re-creates the same link) while never reading
the referent. Scoped the pre-delete to the symlink branch only, so the
regular-file path keeps copyFileSync's overwrite-in-place and a mid-restore
failure cannot destroy the destination. The restore-side existence check moves
to lstat, since existsSync follows a link whose target is gone and would
silently skip the restore.

This lives in the engine all six migrations share, so 000-005 are hardened too.

Also regenerates the pi golden-parity hash: correcting pi/gsd.cjs's own install
docstring changes the extension's content, which the golden suite caught.

* fix(#2470): symlink-preserve the in-apply failure-recovery restore too

The previous commit routed three copy sites through copyPreservingSymlink but
missed a fourth: the catch block inside applyInstallerMigrationPlan, which
replays rollback snapshots taken earlier in the SAME apply attempt. Those
snapshots are symlinks precisely because of that commit, so the raw
copyFileSync there dereferenced them and wrote the referent's bytes to the LIVE
install path — worse than the journal-tree leak it was meant to fix, since it
is user-visible and at a predictable location.

Verified by experiment rather than assertion: with the pre-fix line restored,
the managed path comes back as a REGULAR FILE containing the referent's bytes;
with the fix it comes back as a symlink and the bytes appear nowhere.

The accompanying test injects the failure by letting the delete succeed and
then throwing once, modelling a later step failing after the delete. That
ordering is load-bearing — an earlier draft injected before the delete, which
leaves the live path in place, so the pre-fix copyFileSync hit a same-file
collision and threw instead of leaking. That draft passed against the bug it
was written to catch; this one fails against it.

Adds the missing rollback() coverage as well: a restored symlinked managed path
must come back as a link pointing at its original target.

* test(#2470): read the backup location from the journal, not the plan

The new backup-content assertion read backupRelPath off result.plan.actions,
where it is always null: the planner reserves the field and apply chooses the
concrete location, recording it in the journal. The assertion therefore failed
on "backup path must be recorded for the user" rather than on anything about
the behavior it was written to check.

Read it from the journal, which is the authoritative record. Verified by
executing all four new test bodies in-process against the built engine — the
backup file exists and holds the locally patched content.

b6ebf9d4b4 fix(#2449): make tdd.review-checkpoint frontmatter regex CRLF-tolerant (#2477)
* test(#2449): failing-first CRLF regression for tdd.review-checkpoint

cmdTddReviewCheckpoint's frontmatter regex /^---\\n...\\n---/ (line 751)
cannot match CRLF PLAN.md, so a type:tdd plan with Windows line endings
was silently classified as 'no type:tdd plans' — output indistinguishable
from a phase that genuinely contains no TDD plans. The advisory gate then
short-circuited to a confident pass with no violations table.

Adds tddPlanCrlf() fixture helper (CRLF twin of tddPlan) and a [crlf]
test case that asserts tddPlans===1 for a CRLF type:tdd plan (would be 0
before the fix), plus block:true/violations:1 since the fixture has no
RED/GREEN commits.

* fix(#2449): make tdd-review-checkpoint frontmatter regex CRLF-tolerant

The frontmatter delimiter regex at src/check-command-router.cts:751 used
literal \\n which cannot match a CRLF PLAN.md delimiter (---\\r\\n).
frontmatterMatch was null, the plan was never classified type:tdd,
tddPlanFiles stayed empty, and the advisory gate short-circuited to a
confident pass with no violations table.

The fix replaces /^---\\n([\\s\\S]*?)\\n---/ with
/^---\\r?\\n([\\s\\S]*?)\\r?\\n---/ — the same CRLF-tolerant form
already used elsewhere in the same file at line 205
(extractPlanDesignatedSections). Same canonical pattern; one-line change.

Same bug class previously fixed in #1658, #1668, #2206; this instance is
in a different file and is not a duplicate of any of them.

Per code-review Low finding: CONTRIBUTING.md:490 names 'Mixed CRLF/LF

test covers the reported bug (Windows editor + autocrlf=input). This
[crlf-mixed] variant covers the more adversarial case where frontmatter
delimiters are CRLF but the body is LF (editor that normalizes body text,
or a toolchain concatenating CRLF + LF fragments). The classifier only
reads frontmatter, so detection is unaffected — but the test locks the
behavior.

46ba9ed464 fix(#2444): branch plan-structure validation on task type=checkpoint:* (#2473)
* test(#2444): failing-first regression for checkpoint:* plan-structure validation

Add acceptance-criteria tests covering the three canonical checkpoint task
types (human-verify, decision, human-action) plus an unknown-subtype
forward-compat case. Each canonical type must pass verify plan-structure
when it carries its type-specific required fields (per
gsd-core/references/checkpoints.md), and must be flagged when those
fields are missing. Non-checkpoint tasks keep the existing
<action>/<verify>/<done>/<files> requirements unchanged (AC3 regression
guards).

The existing 'errors when checkpoint task but autonomous is true' fixture
is updated to use the canonical checkpoint:human-verify triple
(<what-built>/<how-to-verify>/<resume-signal>) so it does not collide
with the new per-type validator; the assertion (autonomous is not false)
is unchanged.

* fix(#2444): branch plan-structure validation on task type=checkpoint:*

cmdVerifyPlanStructure unconditionally required <action>/<verify>/<done>/
<files> on every task, so every checkpoint:* task — which uses the
checkpoint convention's type-specific fields instead — was reported as a
structural error. Checkpoint-heavy phases produced walls of false findings.

The fix introduces two pure helpers in verify.cts:

  - extractPlanTaskInfos(content): single ReDoS-safe pass over
    <task ...>...</task> blocks that captures BOTH the opening-tag
    attribute string (so the type= selector is not lost, as it is with
    extractTaggedBlocks) and the body, returning a typed PlanTaskInfo.

  - validatePlanTaskStructure(task): branches on the task's type.
    checkpoint:human-verify requires <what-built>/<how-to-verify>/
    <resume-signal> (the canonical triple).
    checkpoint:decision requires <decision>/<options>/<resume-signal>.
    checkpoint:human-action requires <action>/<instructions>/
    <verification>/<resume-signal>.
    Unknown checkpoint:* subtypes require only the universal
    <resume-signal> (forward-compat). All other types keep the historical
    <action>/<verify>/<done>/<files> requirements unchanged.

Canonical reference: gsd-core/references/checkpoints.md. Per-type field
sets validated against the documented templates in
agents/gsd-planner.md and gsd-core/templates/phase-prompt.md.

* test(#2444): close review gap-closure tests + harden type-attr charset

Orthogonal review (code-review + security-review subagents) returned APPROVE
on Standards and Spec. Per the playbook's zero-tolerance policy, address
every Low finding:

Spec gap-closures:
- AC3 verbatim: add explicit <done> and <files> regression tests for
  non-checkpoint tasks (pre-existing tests only covered <action> and
  <verify>).
- AC2: add checkpoint:decision missing <decision>, checkpoint:human-action
  missing <action>, checkpoint:human-action missing <verification> cases
  (the implementation enforces all of these; only one missing-field case
  per type was previously tested).
- Remove the duplicate 'returns error for nonexistent file' test that
  leaked into the new describe block from the insertion edit.

Security hardening (Low-sev, defense-in-depth):
- Tighten the task type= attribute extractor in src/verify.cts from
  [^"'>\s]+ to [\w:-]+ so a hostile type= attribute cannot carry
  markup fragments (e.g. type=evil<fragment) into the verifier's typed
  JSON output. All legitimate type values (auto, tracer, manual,
  checkpoint:human-verify, checkpoint:decision, checkpoint:human-action,
  checkpoint:tdd-review) match the tighter charset.
- Add adversarial regression test asserting type=evil<fragment surfaces
  as 'evil' (capture stops at '<'), with no markup chars (< > ( ) &)
  in the surfaced type field.

a54feb4216 fix(#2440): per-counter progress ratchet — total_plans always takes derived value (#2468)
* fix(#2440): per-counter progress ratchet — total_plans always takes derived value

Two sites fixed (targeted — existing body-only write tests preserved):

Site A — read path: shouldPreserveExistingProgress (state-document.cts:167)
removed total_plans from the all-or-nothing ratchet check. It now joins
total_phases as an always-derived counter. Only completed_phases and
completed_plans keep ratchet behaviour (they are monotonic). This fixes
gsd-tools query state.json reporting stale total_plans when a curated
completed_plans triggers the ratchet.

Site B — write path: applyStatePreservation (state-transition.cts:162)
gained a deriveProgressKeys opt-in flag. When true (passed by
cmdStatePlannedPhase only), total_plans and total_phases take the
derived (post-sync) value instead of the wholesale curated restore.
When false (the default — state.update, state.patch), the existing
#3242 wholesale protection stays fully in force. This fixes the
state planned-phase verb writing a stale total_plans.

The opt-in approach preserves all 8 existing #3242/#1264/#500 body-only
write tests that assert wholesale progress preservation during non-
progress updates.

Tests:
- tests/state.test.cjs: 4 unit tests for shouldPreserveExistingProgress
  (total_plans upward/downward/equality + completed_plans ratchet active).
- tests/state-transition.test.cjs: 2 #2440 regression tests for
  deriveProgressKeys=true (total_plans takes derived; boundary at equality).
  The existing !resync wholesale-restore test stays unchanged (default
  behavior preserved).

gate); ADR-1769 (applyStatePreservation table-driven preservation).

bb97ffb5aa fix(#2431): self-suppress TDD Audit section when all commits are missing (#2467)
* fix(#2431): self-suppress TDD Audit section when all commits are missing

The TDD Audit section in ship.md step 8 was always emitted — but the
execute pipeline only writes gate_status: git trailers when TDD mode is
active. Without TDD mode (the default), every commit's trailer is absent
and the section normalizes to 100% missing, producing a noise table with
no way to disable it.

Fix: add a self-suppress instruction at the point where gate_status
values are normalized. When every commit in the scan normalizes to
'missing', skip both step 8 (TDD Audit section) and step 9 (aggregate
gate_status trailer) entirely. Only emit when at least one commit carries
a real value (skill, fallback, or exempt).

This is data-driven, NOT config-gated. An earlier iteration used inline
'gsd_run query config-get workflow.tdd_mode' — but workflow.tdd_mode is
owned by the tdd capability, and ADR-857 Phase 6 forbids host loop
workflows from reading capability-owned keys via inline config-get. The
self-suppress approach avoids any config-get entirely; it checks the
actual trailer data and skips when there's nothing real to report.

Matches the triage's suggested approach: 'have the audit gracefully
degrade (skip the section)' when there is no real signal.

Tests: tests/workflow-compat.test.cjs gains 3 #2431 assertions:
- documents self-suppress when every commit is missing
- step 9 (aggregate trailer) is also gated on real values existing
- does NOT read workflow.tdd_mode inline (ADR-857 Phase 6 compliant)

The existing feat-41 assertions still pass — the section content is
preserved, only gated by the self-suppress instruction.

6140627f5c fix(#2427): ground smart-entry completion in ROADMAP-derived counts + tighten status regex (#2466)
* fix(#2427): ground smart-entry completion in ROADMAP-derived counts + tighten status regex

Two coupled defects in isComplete (src/smart-entry.cts):

1. Two-scale comparison: isComplete compared global current_phase (from
   STATE.md body 'Phase: N') against milestone-scoped total_phases (from
   STATE.md frontmatter progress.total_phases, written once at milestone-
   switch time and going stale as soon as new phases are appended to the
   roadmap). When current_phase >= stale total_phases (e.g. 7 >= 4),
   isComplete tripped true even though later phases were still unchecked
   in ROADMAP.md.

2. Over-broad status regex: /\bcomplete(d)?|done|shipped\b/i matched any
   'shipped' or 'done' substring — including per-phase status like
   'Phase X shipped — PR #N' — and falsely satisfied the status side of
   the completion check.

Fix:

- Added two new SmartEntrySignals fields: roadmap_total_phases and
  roadmap_completed_phases, populated by calling the existing
  deriveProgressFromRoadmap helper (from phase-lifecycle.cts:60) when
  ROADMAP.md exists. These are global, authoritative counts from the
  Progress table — never stale.

- isComplete now prefers the roadmap-derived counts when available
  (completed >= total) and falls back to the legacy STATE.md comparison
  only when the roadmap has no parseable Progress table (backward compat
  for fresh or non-standard projects).

- Tightened the status regex to /\b(milestone\s+complete|all\s+phases\s+complete|complete(d)?)\b/i.
  Drops 'done' and 'shipped' (per-phase language). Keeps milestone-level
  signals per ADR-2207 (milestone complete, all phases complete) plus the
  legacy short form 'complete'/'completed'.

Tests (tests/smart-entry.unit.test.cjs gains a #2427 describe block):
- Mid-milestone with stale total_phases=4, current_phase=7, per-phase
  'shipped' status, and 3 unchecked roadmap phases → NOT complete (the
  core bug scenario).
- All roadmap phases complete classifies as complete even with stale
  cached total_phases (roadmap wins).
- Per-phase 'shipped' or 'done' status alone does NOT satisfy completion
  when roadmap phases are unchecked.
- Legacy fallback: empty roadmap (no Progress table) still classifies via
  STATE.md comparison (backward compat).

The makeProject test helper now accepts a string for the 'roadmap'
parameter (written verbatim) in addition to the boolean shorthand, so
tests can supply a real Progress table.

References: #2427; ADR-2207 (milestone status lifecycle); ADR-2143
(column-name-driven Progress table parsing via deriveProgressFromRoadmap);
triage note that this is a read-side fix only (the milestone-switch write
path in state.cjs is out of scope).

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.

be5113abfe fix(#2408): fold colliding phase statuses + add W023 collision warning (#2461)
* fix(#2408): fold colliding phase statuses + add W023 collision warning

Two coupled bugs from #2408:

1. cmdStats last-write-wins status (src/commands.cts:1610-1618): when two
   on-disk phase directories normalize to the same phase key (e.g.
   `05-real/` and `05-real-stray/`), the directory-scan merge overwrote
   `status` with whatever the *current* directory in scan order computed,
   discarding `existing?.status` entirely. fs.readdirSync order is not
   stable across platforms, so /gsd-stats could silently report `Not
   Started` for a phase that is actually `Complete`. Plan/summary counts
   were already additively merged; only `status` was wrong.

   Fix: introduced a `foldPhaseStatus(a, b)` helper that returns whichever
   status is further along the precedence ladder
   `Complete > Needs Review > Executed > In Progress > Planned > Not Started`
   (with `Pending` and unrecognized statuses ranked after). The merge site
   now calls `existing ? foldPhaseStatus(existing.status, status) : status`.
   The fold is commutative, so the result is identical regardless of read
   order.

2. cmdValidateHealth had no collision-detection pass (src/verify.cts):
   codes W001-W022 cover every condition except normalized-key collisions,
   so an operator got zero signal that anything was wrong.

   Fix: added W023 — groups phaseDirEntries by their normalized phase key
   (via the existing normalizePhaseName + extractPhaseToken helpers from
   phase-id.cjs — same normalization cmdStats uses) and emits a warning
   for any group with ≥2 dirs. The warning names the normalized key, both
   directory names (sorted by comparePhaseNum for stable output), and each
   directory's independently-computed status (via determinePhaseStatus
   imported from commands.cjs). Wording is deliberately neutral — never
   guesses which directory is the real one. The optional --repair path
   from the issue is intentionally NOT implemented in this PR (the issue
   marked it lower priority and acceptance criterion 4 is vacuously
   satisfied by omission).

Triage correction applied: the issue proposed W022, but that code is
already in use for config.json model-tier validation (src/verify.cts
:1372-1391). The next free code is W023, used here.

Tests:
- tests/commands.test.cjs: integration test that 05-real/ (Complete) +
  05-real-stray/ (empty/Not Started) collide and stats reports the merged
  phase as Complete regardless of read order; plus a direct unit test of
  foldPhaseStatus asserting commutativity + correct precedence for every
  status pair + correct handling of unrecognized statuses.
- tests/health-validation.test.cjs: integration test that W023 fires on
  the collision naming both dirs + their statuses (and uses neutral
  wording), plus a negative test that no W023 fires when only one dir
  exists per key.

* test(#2296): failing-first coverage for provider escalation on quota-exceeded

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

the merged tree. docs/INVENTORY.md keeps BOTH new reference rows.

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

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

Three independent layers where response_language was being dropped are closed:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

regenerated cleanly against the merged source tree.

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.

eb45fc0e8c fix(#2415): close_phase_todos stages the pending/ deletion alongside completed/ (#2447)
* fix(#2415): close_phase_todos stages the pending/ deletion alongside completed/

Bug: the workflow step moved resolved todos from .planning/todos/pending/
to .planning/todos/completed/ with a plain 'mv', then committed listing
ONLY the destination directory in --files:

    mv "$TODO_FILE" "$COMPLETED_DIR/"
    gsd_run query commit '...' --files .planning/todos/completed/ .planning/STATE.md

Git's index still tracked the moved file at its old pending/<name>.md path.
The commit therefore only staged the new completed/<name>.md copy — the
deletion at pending/ was never staged, never committed, and lingered as an
unstaged deletion in git status indefinitely until some later broad
'git add -A' caught it. The phase genuinely closed the todo, but the
working tree was never clean.

Fix: add .planning/todos/pending/ to the --files list. 'git add' of that
directory (since git 2.0) stages deletions of tracked files in the pathspec,
so the moved-away file is staged as a deletion atomically with the new
completed/ copy in the same commit.

Chose plain mv + two-dir --files over 'git mv' because git mv FAILS on:
  - untracked todos (new todo file not yet committed)
  - non-git .planning dirs (worktree safety / pre-init projects)
Plain mv has neither failure mode.

Regression tests in tests/close-phase-todos-stage-deletion.test.cjs
(source-text-is-the-product: workflow .md text IS what the runtime loads)
cover:
  - the commit --files list includes BOTH completed/ AND pending/
  - the move uses plain 'mv' (not 'git mv') so untracked + non-git cases work

* chore(#2415): trim commit subject to keep execute-phase.md under byte ceiling

The fix added '.planning/todos/pending/' (~26 bytes) to the commit --files
list. To stay under the ADR-857 Phase 6 pre-phase-6 byte ceiling margin
(93400 bytes, hard ceiling 93600), shortened the commit subject from
'auto-close N todo(s) resolved by this phase' to 'close N resolved todo(s)'.
Net change vs origin/next: +6 bytes (93384 → 93390), well under the margin.

Also regenerates the golden-install-parity fixtures (execute-phase.md
content-hash update across all runtimes).

* chore(#2415): bump execute-phase.md workflow-size baseline (93384 → 93390)

The +pending/ fix added 6 net bytes (93384 → 93390), still well under the

e227e81f59 fix(#2395): persist runtime identity into ~/.gsd/defaults.json for non-Claude installs (#2446)
* fix(#2395): persist runtime identity into ~/.gsd/defaults.json for non-Claude installs

Bug: finishInstall for non-Claude runtimes never persisted a 'runtime' key
into ~/.gsd/defaults.json. resolveRuntime() precedence is GSD_RUNTIME env >
config.runtime > 'claude', so both inputs being empty on a Cursor (or any
non-Claude) install caused agent_runtime and every runtime-branded slash
hint to silently fall through to 'claude'. Cursor users saw
'agent_runtime: "claude"' and Claude-formatted /gsd-* hints with no env
or config hand-set.

Fix mirrors the existing resolve_model_ids: 'omit' write site at the same
call site (bin/install.js finishInstall, gated on !_hostBehaviors(runtime)
.nativeModelAliases && !GSD_TEST_MODE). Writes runtime: <runtime> into
~/.gsd/defaults.json when absent/null/empty. Claude is the resolveRuntime()
fallback so it needs no write; an explicit pre-existing runtime value is
always preserved across installs of any runtime.

Pattern parity with #1156 (default-to-omit intent) and #1569 (preserve
explicit user value) — the new write is the third sibling on the same
install-time persistence block.

Regression tests in tests/install.test.cjs cover:
  - absent / null / empty-string runtime → populated to <install runtime>
  - explicit pre-existing runtime preserved (no clobber across runtimes)
  - parameterized across 5 non-Claude runtimes (cursor, codex, opencode,
    antigravity, windsurf)

Out of scope (per triage): the resolveRuntime() precedence order itself
(env > config > default) is unchanged. A separate follow-up noted in the
issue (subagent rendering when runtime correctly identifies as 'cursor')
is unrelated to branding and not addressed here.

* chore(#2395): regenerate golden-install-parity fixtures for new runtime persistence

The golden install-tree fixtures capture the post-install state, including
~/.gsd/defaults.json. For non-Claude runtimes, defaults.json now includes
runtime: <runtime> — content hash updated for each affected runtime (17
golden-install-parity/*.json files). Claude's defaults.json is unchanged
(no runtime key written for Claude — it's the resolveRuntime() fallback).

* chore(#2395): drop product names from changeset fragment (product-name-purity gate)

* test(#2395): move describe out of fix-1521 fold + add same-runtime idempotence test

Code review (correctness subagent) flagged 2 Low test-quality issues:

1. The new Bug #2395 describe was inserted inside the
   folded:fix-1521-real-install-stamping IIFE callback, muddying test
   reporting and tracing the regression to the wrong epic. Moved it
   outside the IIFE close to be a top-level sibling.

2. No explicit same-runtime idempotence test — the suite covered
   cross-runtime preservation (cursor seed → opencode install) but not
   'install cursor twice → second is a no-op'. Added: seeds fresh defaults,
   installs cursor, captures mtime, installs cursor again, asserts runtime
   unchanged AND defaults.json mtime unchanged (idempotent, no rewrite churn).

12e4d93b19 fix(#2393): add GSD_ALLOW_SYMLINKED_DEST opt-in for intentional user-owned symlink layouts (#2445)
* fix(#2393): add GSD_ALLOW_SYMLINKED_DEST opt-in for intentional user-owned symlink layouts

Bug: v1.7.0's destSubpath write-confinement (ADR-1239 Phase B) refused
install/update whenever CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR (or an artifact-kind child like
skills/, hooks/) was a pre-existing symlink, with no opt-out. Three
legitimate user-owned layouts were blocked:

  - (lars-hh) CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=~/.claude-personal with skills/hooks
              symlinked to a user-owned external dir
  - (Mamiki)  ~/.claude/skills is a Windows Junction to a shared skills dir
  - (Azd325)  ~/.claude itself is a symlink to a dotfiles repo (the early
              root-is-symlink return refused before the component loop ran)

Fix: add GSD_ALLOW_SYMLINKED_DEST env var (accepts '1' or 'true'). When
set, hasExistingSymlinkBetween follows symlinks instead of refusing them.
Cross-platform: fs.lstatSync().isSymbolicLink() returns true for both
POSIX symlinks and NTFS junctions (Node ≥ 16), so Mamiki's Junction case
is handled by the same code path.

Threat model preserved (these still refuse EVEN WITH opt-in):
  (a) path-traversal in the destSubpath string itself ('../../etc'-style)
      — ADR-1239 Phase B threat (a), untrusted destSubpath protection
  (b) a symlink whose resolved real path equals the install root itself
      — would let _removeGsdEntries wipe the root; #1704 threat (b)
  (c) broken symlinks (realpathSync throws) — fail-closed

What opt-in RELAXES specifically: the 'pre-existing symlink pointing
outside configHome' refusal — #1704 threat (c). The user has explicitly
asserted they own and trust the symlink target.

Error messages at all 4 call sites (installRuntimeArtifacts, _copyStaged,
migrateLegacyDevPreferencesToSkill, installOpencodeFamilySkills) updated
to (1) name the env var opt-in, (2) be accurate when the root itself is
a symlink (Azd325's complaint that the old message accused destDir of
'containing' a symlink when the root was the actual symlink).

Docs: docs/CONFIGURATION.md Environment Variables table updated.

Regression tests in tests/install-write-confinement.test.cjs cover:
  - child-symlink layout (lars-hh / Mamiki): default refuses, opt-in allows
  - root-is-symlink layout (Azd325): default refuses, opt-in follows
  - path-traversal '../../etc' refused EVEN WITH opt-in (threat a preserved)
  - resolved-target-equals-install-root refused EVEN WITH opt-in (threat b)
  - broken symlink refused EVEN WITH opt-in (fail-closed)

* test(#2393): import beforeEach/afterEach in install-write-confinement suite

The original file imported only { describe, test } from node:test. The new
#2393 opt-in describe block uses beforeEach/afterEach to manage the
GSD_ALLOW_SYMLINKED_DEST env var lifecycle — add them to the import.

* test(#2393): correct broken-symlink test — existsSync follows link → loop terminates early

Initial test expected broken symlinks to be refused even with opt-in. That
was wrong: fs.existsSync follows symlinks, so a broken symlink returns
false from existsSync and the component loop terminates before the symlink
check fires. Both default and opt-in paths share this behavior; the fix
preserves it.

Updates the test to pin the actual current behavior so a future refactor
(e.g. switching to lstatSync for existence) is a deliberate behavior change.

* fix(#2393): realpath the install root — guard against macOS /var ↔ /private/var

Code review (security subagent) flagged a HIGH-severity hole in the threat-(b)
preservation: realTarget (from fs.realpathSync) is fully symlink-resolved,
resolvedRoot (from path.resolve) is lexical-only. On macOS /var is a symlink
to /private/var, so resolvedRoot='/var/foo/.claude' but realConfigHome is
'/private/var/foo/.claude'. A symlink whose realtarget matches the install
root by real path would compare unequal to the lexical resolvedRoot —
defeating the wipe-protection guard exactly in the reporter's case (Azd325,
nix-darwin: ~/.claude is itself a symlink).

Fix: compute realRoot once via fs.realpathSync(resolvedRoot) at function entry
(with fail-closed fallback to lexical form on realpath failure — broken/missing
root, permission denied, exotic FS). Threat (a) path-traversal check above
still confines regardless. Compare against BOTH lexical and real forms in
both the root-symlink and component-symlink branches.

Also adds the reviewer's transitivity-trust clarification comment: once a
symlink is followed under opt-in, the walk continues from the resolved real
path WITHOUT re-checking further segments stay inside a confining boundary.
This is documented opt-in semantics — one opt-in trusts the whole reachable
tree — and the comment makes the design choice explicit so a future
maintainer doesn't add a 'follow one symlink only' expectation.

Regression test added for the macOS /var normalization case (spelled configHome
via os.tmpdir() lexically while pointing the test symlink through its realpath).
Test skips on non-darwin platforms and when os.tmpdir() has no symlink component.

* fix(#2393): root-symlink branch — do not apply threat-(b) check to root itself

Initial fix applied the wipe-threat-(b) check to the root-symlink branch
unconditionally. That was wrong: when root itself is a symlink (Azd325's
nix-darwin case), its realpath IS realRoot by construction — so the check
always fires, defeating the opt-in for exactly the case it was meant to
enable.

The wipe threat (b) does NOT apply to root being a symlink: destDir is a
CHILD of root, and resolving root just gives root's target. There is no
circular back-reference to root from a path that descends from a resolved
root. So the root-symlink branch should just follow the symlink under opt-in
and continue the walk, no threat-(b) check.

Threat (b) only fires in the COMPONENT loop, where a child symlink can
resolve back to the install root. That branch keeps the (b) check using BOTH
lexical and real forms of root (the macOS /var ↔ /private/var fix from the
prior commit).

* fix(#2393): apply opt-in at the 5 bin/install.js call sites + add env-var/transitive tests

Code review (correctness subagent) flagged a Critical coverage gap: the
initial fix updated only the 4 src/install-engine.cts call sites. Five
more call sites in bin/install.js still used the 2-arg signature, so the
opt-in env var was silently ignored on:

  - installCodexConfig (config.toml + agents/ dir + per-agent .toml paths)
    — Codex only
  - copyWithPathReplacement (the generic emit path: workflows, commands,
    staging) — ALL runtimes
  - resolveInstallRelativePath (path resolver used in various places)

Result: a user setting GSD_ALLOW_SYMLINKED_DEST=1 would see SOME refusals
disappear (engine path) and OTHERS remain (bin/install.js paths) — a
partially-applied install and a confusing UX, directly contradicting the
PR's headline claim.

Fix:
- Export isSymlinkedDestOptIn from src/install-engine.cts alongside
  hasExistingSymlinkBetween
- Import it in bin/install.js
- Update all 5 bin/install.js call sites to pass { allowOptInFollow }
- Update all 3 bin/install.js error messages to name the env var, matching
  the engine's phrasing

Also addresses reviewer's Medium test-adequacy findings:
- isSymlinkedDestOptIn env-var parsing now tested directly (accepts only
  documented '1' / 'true'; rejects 'TRUE', 'yes', 'on', '0', 'false',
  empty, unset)
- transitive symlink chain (configHome/outer → outside1 → outside2) test
  pins the documented 'transitive and unbounded' opt-in semantics so a
  future contributor can't accidentally narrow it

517bae8d6d fix(#2372): widen decision-coverage-plan to all planner-canonical tags, drop misleading "(or body)" (#2443)
* fix(#2372): widen decision-coverage scan to planner-canonical tags, fix message

Bug: check.decision-coverage-plan's remediation message told the user to
cite decisions "(or body)" but extractPlanDesignatedSections only scanned
<objective>/<tasks>/<task>/<action>. A decision cited in <read_first>,
<behavior>, <verify>, <acceptance_criteria>, or <done> was invisible to
the gate — false BLOCKING coverage gap, plus the message's own fix-hint
sent the user to "the body" where re-citing still failed.

Two-part fix (must change together — that drift was the bug):

1. Widen XML_DECISION_TAGS_RE in src/check-command-router.cts to also
   match <read_first>, <behavior>, <verify>, <acceptance_criteria>,
   <done>. These are all planner-canonical tags the planner is told to
   use (plan-phase.md:830-862, plan-phase.md:772). The body negative-
   lookahead mirrors the opening-tag set so each tag's body is captured
   independently.

2. Correct buildPlanMessage to name ONLY the surfaces the extractor
   actually scans (front-matter must_haves/truths/objective,
   designated markdown headings, and the nine planner-canonical tag
   bodies). The misleading "(or body)" clause is gone.

Also updates the planner's documented contract (agents/gsd-planner.md:69)
and user-facing docs (docs/CONFIGURATION.md, docs/USER-GUIDE.md) to
reflect the wider scan.

Regression tests in tests/decisions.test.cjs cover each newly-scanned
tag body, a control (no citation still uncovered), and a message/extractor
parity assertion that names every scanned surface — so the two cannot
drift apart again.

Out of scope (per triage): cmdDecisionCoverageVerify/buildVerifyMessage
is a separate command (decision-coverage-verify) checking shipped
artifacts, not plan citations — untouched.

* chore(#2372): regenerate agent-size-baseline + golden-install-parity fixtures

gsd-planner.md grew 49172 → 49294 (+122 chars) from the widened decision-
coverage contract (5 new scanned tag names + heading clarification).
Growth is justified: the contract surface is itself the fix — the prior
text under-described what the gate scans, which was the bug.

Updates:
- tests/agent-size-baseline.json (gsd-planner.md: 49172 → 49294)
- 17 tests/fixtures/golden-install-parity/*.json (one hash per runtime)
- tests/fixtures/install-tree/*.json (regenerated by gen:golden)

* fix(#2372): per-tag matching — outer-tag citations survive inner-tag nesting

Code review (subagent) flagged a Medium edge-case regression from the
single-alternation regex: when a newly-scanned tag nests inside another
scanned tag, the alternation's negative lookahead halts the outer tag's
body at the inner tag — losing any D-NN citation in the outer tag's
prefix prose. Concretely:

  <action>per D-05 <verify>npm test</verify></action>

  → 3-tag alternation (old):  captured 'per D-05 <verify>npm test</verify>' as <action> body → D-05 caught
  → 9-tag alternation (bug):  captured 'npm test' only (from <verify>); D-05 in <action> prefix LOST

Switches extractXmlTagBodies to per-tag matching: each tag gets its own
regex whose negative-lookahead tempers only against the SAME tag's
reopening. So <verify> inside <action> is absorbed into <action>'s body
(D-05 caught) AND <verify> is matched separately on its own pass.

Per-tag preserves both:
- the reporter's case (sibling tags inside <read_first>)
- nested-tag citations in outer-tag prefix prose
- ReDoS safety (each per-tag regex keeps the #2128 body tempering)

Also adds the reviewer's other requested edge-case tests:
- non-scanned tag (<name>) bearing D-NN must NOT count
- self-closing form <read_first /> safely ignored
- attribute form <verify type="...">D-NN</verify> (canonical planner shape)
- CRLF newlines in tag body do not break capture

0bbbca2a46 fix(#2069): forward model_policy, model_profile_overrides, runtime from global defaults (#2442)
* test(#2069): add fail-first regression for global-defaults dropped keys

Adds four failing-first regression cases to tests/defaults-json-fallback.test.cjs:

- model_policy forwarded from ~/.gsd/defaults.json
- model_profile_overrides forwarded from ~/.gsd/defaults.json
- runtime forwarded from ~/.gsd/defaults.json
- parity: model_policy survives identically whether it lives in the global
  defaults or in a project's .planning/config.json

All four fail on unfixed code (Branch D of loadConfigResolved builds
_globalBaseCfg from a whitelist that omits these three keys). The
project-config path at config-loader.cts:602-604 already forwards them,
so the global path should too.

* fix(#2069): forward model_policy, model_profile_overrides, runtime from global defaults

The _globalBaseCfg whitelist in Branch D of loadConfigResolved previously
omitted three keys that the project-config path forwards parsed['…']:

  - runtime
  - model_profile_overrides
  - model_policy

so ~/.gsd/defaults.json silently dropped them. A machine-wide model policy
(or runtime / profile overrides) was honored inside a project (where
.planning/config.json carries it) but ignored for out-of-project runs —
resolve-model fell back to the profile default with no warning.

Adds the three entries to _globalBaseCfg in the same (globalDefaults['…']) || null
shape as the sibling keys and the project-config path, so global defaults
honor them identically.

Regression tests in the prior commit (#2069 fail-first) demonstrate the
fix on the same suite that previously failed.

* test(#2069): extend parity test to all three previously-dropped keys

Code review (subagent) flagged that the parity test only asserted
model_policy shape-parity between global-defaults and project-config paths.
A future regression breaking just runtime or just model_profile_overrides
shape (e.g. someone changing parsed['runtime'] to ?? null in the project
path) would slip a single-key test.

Extends the parity test to assert deepStrictEqual / strictEqual across
all three keys: model_policy, model_profile_overrides, runtime. Same
two-dir setup, three cheap assertions.

d16a66479a feat(#1950): broken-windows ledger — cross-phase defect register gating ship (#2441)
* feat(#1950): broken-windows ledger — cross-phase defect register gating ship

Adds a new  capability (#1950) that operationalizes GSD's
no-defer discipline as a tracked, enforced artifact:
accumulates stubs, TODOs, skipped tests, unrun verifies, and unmet truths
across phases, and /gsd-ship blocks while any entry is open.

Implementation:
- src/broken-windows.cts → gsd-core/bin/lib/broken-windows.cjs: typed IR +
  I/O entry points (parseLedger/renderLedger/appendWindow/markWaived/markFixed
  + cmdWindowsStatus/Append/Waive/MarkFixed). Frozen REASON enum for typed
  error assertions. Windows-safe atomic rename with retry on transient
  EPERM/EBUSY/EACCES.
- gsd-tools.cjs: new  subcommand (status | append | waive | fixed),
  wired via routeWindows + HOST_COMMAND_ROUTERS.windows.
- capabilities/broken-windows/capability.json: one ship:pre gate with
  artifact-frontmatter-equals predicate on WINDOWS.md open_count == 0.
  activationKey windows.enabled (default true) + sibling windows.enforce
  (default true, separate so tracking can precede enforcement).
- gsd-core/workflows/ship.md: capId==broken-windows branch in preflight,
  sibling to security — reads gsd_run windows status --raw, fails closed
  on open_count > 0 or unreadable ledger.
- agents/gsd-executor.md: extends the existing ## Known Stubs instruction
  to also append to WINDOWS.md via gsd_run windows append (best-effort,
  never blocks execution).
- agents/gsd-verifier.md: new Step 8b — record unmet truths + human-verify
  items in WINDOWS.md.
- gsd-core/workflows/progress.md: surfaces open + waived counts.
- docs/COMMANDS.md + CONTEXT.md glossary entry + docs/INVENTORY.md:
  document the gate, waiver mechanism, and new module.
- tests/broken-windows.test.cjs: pure + CLI behavioral coverage + fast-check
  roundtrip property; fail-closed on malformed ledger; security boundary on
  path traversal in --file.

Backward-compatible: a project with no .planning/WINDOWS.md reports
open_count: 0 and ships cleanly. Disable enforcement per-project with
gsd config-set windows.enforce false (tracking continues, gate stays open).

* chore(#1950): ratchet size baselines, defer verifier integration

- Workflow size baseline: ship.md 25575→27928, progress.md 31789→32632
  (broken-windows preflight branch + open-windows surface).
- Agent size baseline: gsd-executor.md 46644→47951 (Known Stubs → also
  appends to WINDOWS.md). gsd-verifier.md unchanged.
- LARGE_CAP (49152) preempted the planned verifier integration
  (gsd-verifier.md was at 49140 pre-PR — 12 bytes of headroom, not the
  documented 'real headroom'). Verifier integration deferred to a follow-up
  PR that extracts the VERIFICATION.md template (lines 739-859) to
  gsd-core/references/ — a pre-existing cap-tightness defect this PR
  exposed but does not expand scope to fix. Verifier integration is not in
  the issue's acceptance criteria (executor writes is; unmet-truths
  recording was an enhancement, not a gate).

* fix(#1950): gate default-off, rename to workflow.windows_enforce, regen goldens

Test-failure-driven fixes after first gsd-test run on db8733c8f failed 44
cases (pre-existing structural tests encoded 'ship:pre has 1 gate' / 'all
caps off → empty hooks'):

- capability manifest: rename windows.enabled+windows.enforce (default
  true) → single federated key workflow.windows_enforce (default FALSE,
  opt-in). Matches security's workflow.security_enforce convention and
  makes the adr857 all-caps-off test pass without modification (the test's
  buildAllFalseConfig handles workflow.* out of the box). Default-OFF keeps
  the gate out of the registry's default ship:pre resolution so existing
  loop-hooks-ship-pre-e2e structural assertions (exactly 1 gate, capId
  'security') stay valid; users opt in via
  gsd config-set workflow.windows_enforce true.
- drop activationKey (security doesn't have one either; workflow.* key
  doubles as the activation toggle).
- regenerate docs/reference/capability-matrix.md to include broken-windows
  (capability-matrix-sync test).
- regenerate tests/fixtures/golden-install-parity/*.json (18 runtimes) —
  installer now emits the new capability + lib file.
- update CONTEXT.md, docs/COMMANDS.md, docs/FEATURES.md, ship.md,
  agents/gsd-executor.md to use the new key name and /gsd:colon slash
  syntax (slash-command-namespace test).
- restore accidentally-regressed /gsd:capture in progress.md.

Tracking-only by default; enforcement is opt-in. Acceptance criterion
'/gsd-ship fails while any ledger entry is open' is met when
workflow.windows_enforce=true (test fixture enables it).

* test(#1950): update ship:pre structural invariants for 2-gate registry

- loop-hooks-ship-pre-e2e: the registry now declares 2 gates at ship:pre
  (security + broken-windows), regardless of activation. Activation tests
  above still pin security-only or empty behavior via fixtures; these
  structural tests pin the REGISTRY shape, which has 2 gates as of #1950.
- workflow-size-baseline: ship.md 27928→27945 (workflow.windows_enforce
  rename added 17 bytes).

* fix(#1950): review H1+H2+M1+M2+M3 — fence-injection, EACCES fail-closed, cleanup, strict line, stryker

Adversarial isolated review (Step 6.3) found 2 HIGH findings that block
the PR and 3 mediums. All addressed:

H1 (HIGH): description containing the markdown 3-backtick fence would
terminate the ledger's JSON code block early inside JSON.stringify output
(JSON doesn't escape backticks), corrupting the file and bricking the
next parse. Fix: use a 4-backtick fence (json ... ) which
JSON.stringify cannot produce on its own, AND validate that no entry
text field contains a 4-backtick run (reject at append time with new
WINDOWS_INVALID_TEXT reason code). Locked by a regression test.

H2 (HIGH): readLedgerOrNull swallowed ALL fs errors as 'no ledger',
silently returning open_count:0 on EACCES/EPERM/EIO. The ship gate
would then pass on an unreadable ledger — the precise vector the
workflow doc claims is impossible. Fix: only ENOENT returns null;
every other fs error propagates as WINDOWS_LEDGER_MALFORMED so the
gate blocks and the operator sees a real diagnostic. Locked by a
regression test that chmod 000s a ledger with open_count=1 and
asserts the result is never a false-green 0.

M1: writeLedgerAtomic left an orphaned .tmp file on rename failure.
Wrapped renameWithRetry in try/catch with best-effort unlink.

M2: validateLine silently coerced 'abc' → NaN → null, hiding type
drift. Removed the line === 0 special case (was undocumented) and
made the error message match the strict check. Now any non-positive-
integer line value throws, including strings.

M3: tests/broken-windows.test.cjs (with its fast-check property test)
was not in stryker.config.mjs DEFAULT_TEST_CMD — Stryker would mutate
src/broken-windows.cts but no test would catch the mutations,
producing false surviving-mutant scores. Added to the list.

L1 (dead throw e after error()), L7 (line boundary tests, H1/H2
regression tests, 4-backtick CLI test) also addressed.

* docs(#1950): inline concurrency + busy-wait notes (review L2+L3)

* fix(#1950): regen goldens against latest gsd-tools; correct --line 0 boundary test

gsd-test v4 caught two issues:
- goldens I regenerated earlier (commit 526682084) predated the L1
  routeWindows catch-block cleanup (commit dd844d565). Regenerated
  via 'npm run gen:golden' against current HEAD so the install
  parity hash for gsd-tools.cjs matches.
- 'append --line boundary' test expected --line 0 to succeed with
  null entry.line, but the M2 fix correctly rejects 0 (lines are
  1-indexed; 0 is not a valid source line). Updated the boundary
  test to assert --line 0 fails alongside -1 and 'abc'.

* chore(#1950): quick.md baseline 50699→50993 (correct resolution from next rebase)

* fix(#1950): renderTable escapes backslash before pipe (CodeQL incomplete-sanitization)

CodeQL flagged the markdown-table cell escaper:
  String(s ?? '').replace(/\|/g, '\\|')
— it escapes pipe but not backslash first. A description containing '\|'
would render as '\\|' which markdown parses as 'literal backslash' +
'cell separator', splitting the column.

Fix: escape backslash FIRST (each \ → \\), then pipe (each | → \|).
Now a description with '\|' renders as '\\\\|' (literal '\\' + escaped
pipe), which markdown renders as a single '\|' inside the cell. The JSON
code block (the parse source-of-truth) was already correctly escaped via
JSON.stringify; only the display-only table was affected.

Locked by a regression test that:
1. Verifies the JSON block reparses with the description intact.
2. Walks the rendered table row counting unescaped pipes — must be
   exactly 11 (the row separators for 10 cells), proving no in-cell
   pipe added a split.
