* fix: change nyquist_validation default to true and harden absent-key skip conditions
new-project.md never wrote the key, so agents reading config directly
treated absent as falsy. Changed all agent skip conditions from "is false"
to "explicitly set to false; absent = enabled". Default changed from false
to true in core.cjs, config.cjs, and templates/config.json.

* fix: enforce VALIDATION.md creation with verification gate and Check 8e
Step 5.5 was narrative markdown that Claude skipped under context pressure.
Now MANDATORY with Write tool requirement and file-existence verification.
Step 7.5 gates planner spawn on VALIDATION.md presence. Check 8e blocks
Dimension 8 if file missing.

* feat: add W008/W009 health checks and addNyquistKey repair for Nyquist drift detection
W008 warns when workflow.nyquist_validation key is absent from config.json
(agents may skip validation). W009 warns when RESEARCH.md has Validation
Architecture section but no VALIDATION.md file exists. addNyquistKey repair
adds the missing key with default true value.

* feat: add /gsd:validate-phase command and gsd-nyquist-auditor agent
Retroactively applies Nyquist validation to already-executed phases.
Works mid-milestone and post-milestone. Detects existing test coverage,
maps gaps to phase requirements, writes missing tests, debugs failing
ones, and produces {phase}-VALIDATION.md from existing artifacts.
Handles three states: VALIDATION.md exists (audit + update), no
VALIDATION.md (reconstruct from PLAN.md + SUMMARY.md), phase not yet
executed (exit cleanly with guidance).

* feat: audit-milestone reports Nyquist compliance gaps across phases
Adds Nyquist coverage table to audit-milestone output when
workflow.nyquist_validation is true. Identifies phases missing
VALIDATION.md or with nyquist_compliant: false/partial.
Routes to /gsd:validate-phase for resolution. Updates USER-GUIDE
with retroactive validation documentation.

* refactor: compress Nyquist prompts to match GSD meta-prompt density conventions
Auditor agent: deleted philosophy section (35 lines), compressed execution
flow 60%, removed redundant constraints. Workflow: cut purpose bloat,
collapsed state narrative, compressed auditor spawn template. Command:
removed redundant process section. Plan-phase Steps 5.5/7.5: replaced
hedging language with directives. Audit-milestone Step 5.5: collapsed
sub-steps into inline instructions. Net: -376 lines.

The "depth" setting with values quick/standard/comprehensive implied
investigation thoroughness, but it only controls phase count. Renamed to
"granularity" with values coarse/standard/fine to accurately reflect what
it controls: how finely scope is sliced into phases.
Includes backward-compatible migration in loadConfig and config-ensure
that auto-renames depth→granularity with value mapping in both
.planning/config.json and ~/.gsd/defaults.json.

The installer only replaced ~/.claude/ (tilde form) when rewriting paths
for OpenCode, Gemini, and Codex installs. Source files also use
$HOME/.claude/ in bash code blocks (since ~ doesn't expand inside
double-quoted strings), leaving ~175 unreplaced references that break
gsd-tools.cjs invocations on non-Claude runtimes.
Adds $HOME/.claude/ replacement to all 6 path-rewriting code paths,
a toHomePrefix() utility to keep $HOME as a portable shell variable,
and a post-install scan that warns if any .claude references leak
through.

When a phase modifies server, database, seed, or startup files, verify-work

Introduce ephemeral `workflow._auto_chain_active` flag to separate chain
propagation from the user's persistent `workflow.auto_advance` preference.
Previously, `workflow.auto_advance` was set to true by --auto chains and
only cleared at milestone completion. If a chain was interrupted (context
limit, crash, user abort), the flag persisted in .planning/config.json
and caused all subsequent manual invocations to auto-advance unexpectedly.
The fix adds a "sync chain flag with intent" step to discuss-phase,
plan-phase, and execute-phase workflows: when --auto is NOT in arguments,
the ephemeral _auto_chain_active flag is cleared. The persistent
auto_advance setting (from /gsd:settings) is never touched, preserving
the user's deliberate preference.

When running /gsd:update from $HOME, the local path ./.claude/ resolves
to the same directory as $HOME/.claude/. The local branch always wins,
triggering --local reinstall that corrupts all paths in a global install.
This is self-reinforcing — once corrupted, every subsequent update
perpetuates the corruption.
Compare canonical paths (via cd + pwd) and only report LOCAL when the
resolved directories differ. When they're the same, fall through to
GLOBAL detection.

The context monitor uses imperative language ("STOP new work
immediately. Save state NOW") that overrides user preferences and
causes autonomous state saves in non-GSD sessions. Replace with
advisory messaging that informs the user and respects their control.
- Detect GSD-active sessions via .planning/STATE.md
- GSD sessions: warn user, reference /gsd:pause-work, but don't
command autonomous saves (STATE.md already tracks state)
- Non-GSD sessions: inform user, explicitly say "Do NOT autonomously
save state unless the user asks"
- Remove all imperative language (STOP, NOW, immediately)

Hooks hardcode ~/.claude/ as the config directory, breaking setups
where Claude Code uses a custom config directory (e.g. multi-account
with CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=~/.claude-personal/). The update check hook
shows stale notifications and the statusline reads from wrong paths.
- gsd-check-update.js: check CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR before filesystem scan
- gsd-statusline.js: use CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR for todos and cache paths

The context monitor and statusline hooks wait for stdin 'end' event
before processing. On some platforms (Windows/Git Bash), the stdin pipe
may not close cleanly, causing the script to hang until Claude Code's
hook timeout kills it — surfacing as "PostToolUse:Read hook error" after
every tool call. Add a 3-second timeout that exits silently if stdin
doesn't complete, preventing the noisy error messages.

Gap closure plans hardcode wave: 1 and depends_on: [], bypassing the

planning.

Two defensive hardening changes:
1. state.cjs: Replace two identical inline extractField closures
(cmdStateSnapshot and buildStateFrontmatter) with a shared
stateExtractField(content, fieldName) helper at module scope.
The helper uses escapeRegex on fieldName before interpolation
into RegExp constructors, preventing breakage if a field name
ever contains regex metacharacters. Net removal of duplicated
logic.
2. gsd-plan-checker.md: Bound the "relevant" definition in the
exhaustive cross-check instruction. A requirement is "relevant"
only if ROADMAP.md explicitly maps it to this phase or the phase
goal directly implies it — prevents false blocker flags for
requirements belonging to other phases.

Two hardening changes to cmdMilestoneComplete:
1. Replace 27 lines of inline isDirInMilestone logic (roadmap parsing,
normalization, and matching) with a single call to the shared
getMilestonePhaseFilter(cwd) from core.cjs. The inline copy was
identical to the core version — deduplicating prevents future drift.
2. Handle empty MILESTONES.md files. Previously, an existing but empty
file would fall into the headerMatch branch and produce malformed
output. Now an empty file is treated the same as a missing one,
writing the standard "# Milestones" header before the entry.

Three files emit path.join or path.relative results directly into
JSON output without normalizing backslashes on Windows. Wrap these
with toPosixPath (already used in core.cjs and init.cjs) so agents
receive consistent forward-slash paths on all platforms.
Files changed:
- phase.cjs: wrap directory path in cmdPhasesFind
- commands.cjs: wrap todo path in cmdListTodos, relPath in cmdScaffold
- template.cjs: wrap relPath in cmdTemplateFill (both exists and
created branches)

cmdRequirementsMarkComplete interpolates user-supplied reqId strings
directly into RegExp constructors. If a reqId contains regex
metacharacters (e.g. parentheses, brackets, dots), the patterns break
or match unintended content.
Import escapeRegex from core.cjs (already used in state.cjs and
phase.cjs) and apply it to reqId before interpolation into all four
regex patterns in the function.
Same class of fix as gsd-build/get-shit-done#741 (state.cjs).

The statusline uses a hardcoded 80% scaling factor for context usage,
but Claude Code's actual autocompact buffer is 16.5% (usable context is
83.5%). This inflates the displayed percentage and causes the context
monitor's WARNING/CRITICAL thresholds to fire prematurely.
Replace the 80% scaling with proper normalization against the 16.5%
autocompact buffer. Adjust color thresholds to intuitive levels
(50/65/80% of usable context).

Replace general-purpose workaround pattern with named subagent types:
- plan-phase: researcher and planner now spawn as gsd-phase-researcher/gsd-planner
- new-project: 4 researcher spawns now use gsd-project-researcher
- research-phase: researcher spawns now use gsd-phase-researcher
- quick: planner revision now uses gsd-planner
- diagnose-issues: debug agents now use gsd-debugger (matches template spec)
Removes 'First, read agent .md file' prompt prefix — named agent types
auto-load their .md file as system prompt, making the workaround redundant.
Preserves intentional general-purpose orchestrator spawns in discuss-phase
and plan-phase (auto-advance) where the agent runs an entire workflow.

Add skills: field to all 11 agent frontmatter files with forward-compatible
GSD workflow skill references (silently ignored until skill files are created).
Add commented hooks: examples to 9 file-writing agents showing PostToolUse
hook syntax for project-specific linting/formatting. Read-only agents
(plan-checker, integration-checker) skip hooks as they cannot modify files.
Per Claude Code docs: subagents don't inherit skills or hooks from the
parent conversation — they must be explicitly listed in frontmatter.

The auto-advance chain (discuss → plan → execute) was spawning each
subsequent phase as a Task(subagent_type="general-purpose"), creating
3-4 levels of nested agent sessions. At that nesting depth, the
Claude Code runtime hits resource limits or stdio contention, causing
the execute-phase to freeze or attempt to shell out to `claude` as a
subprocess (which is explicitly blocked).
The fix replaces Task spawns with Skill invocations for phase
transitions:
- discuss-phase auto-advance: Skill("gsd:plan-phase") instead of
Task(general-purpose)
- plan-phase auto-advance: Skill("gsd:execute-phase") instead of
Task(general-purpose)
The Skill tool runs in the same process context as the caller,
keeping the entire auto-advance chain flat at a single nesting level.
Each phase still spawns its own worker agents (gsd-executor,
gsd-planner, etc.) as Tasks, but the orchestration chain itself
no longer creates unnecessary depth.

Three files had hardcoded `.claude` paths that break OpenCode and
Gemini installations where the config directory is `.config/opencode`,
`.opencode`, or `.gemini` respectively.
Changes:
- hooks/gsd-check-update.js: add detectConfigDir() helper that checks
all runtime directories for get-shit-done/VERSION, falling back to
.claude. Used for cache dir, project VERSION, and global VERSION.
- commands/gsd/reapply-patches.md: detect runtime directory for both
global and local patch directories instead of hardcoding ~/.claude/

- workflows/update.md: detect runtime directory for local and global
VERSION/marker files, and clear cache across all runtime directories

Gemini CLI uses AfterTool as the post-tool hook event name, not
PostToolUse (which is Claude Code's event name). The installer was
registering the context monitor under PostToolUse for all runtimes,
causing Gemini to print "Invalid hook event name" warnings on every
run and silently disabling the context monitor.
Changes:
- install.js: use runtime-aware event name (AfterTool for Gemini,
PostToolUse for others) when registering context monitor hook
- install.js: uninstall cleans up both PostToolUse and AfterTool
entries for backward compatibility with existing installs
- gsd-context-monitor.js: runtime-aware hookEventName in output
- docs/context-monitor.md: document both event names with Gemini

Expand dual-format parsing to cover all 8 field extraction and
replacement locations in state.cjs. The previous fix only covered
cmdStateSnapshot and buildStateFrontmatter (read path), leaving 6
write-path functions with bold-only regex that silently failed on
plain-format STATE.md files.
Functions fixed:
- stateExtractField: shared read helper (cascades to cmdStateAdvancePlan,
cmdStateRecordSession)
- stateReplaceField: shared write helper (cascades to all state mutations)
- cmdStateGet: individual field lookup
- cmdStatePatch: batch field updates
- cmdStateUpdate: single field updates
- cmdStateUpdateProgress: progress bar writes
- cmdStateSnapshot session section: Last Date, Stopped At, Resume File
Each function now tries **Field:** bold format first (preserving
existing behavior), then falls back to plain Field: format. This
eliminates the read/write asymmetry where state-snapshot could read
plain-format fields but state-update/state-patch could not modify them.

The commit case in the CLI router reads only args[1] for the message,
which captures just the first word when the shell strips quotes before
passing arguments to Node.js. This silently truncates every multi-word
commit message (e.g. "docs(40): create phase plan" becomes "docs(40):").
Collect all positional args between the command name and the first
flag (--files, --amend), then join them. Works correctly whether the
shell preserves quotes (single arg) or strips them (multiple args).

extractField in state-snapshot and buildStateFrontmatter only matches
the **Field:** bold markdown format, but STATE.md may use plain
Field: format depending on how it was generated. When all fields

Field: with line-start anchor. Both instances in cmdStateSnapshot
and buildStateFrontmatter are updated consistently.

getMilestoneInfo matches the first version string in ROADMAP.md, which

cmdPhaseComplete determines is_last_phase and next_phase by scanning
.planning/phases/ directories on disk. Phases defined in ROADMAP.md
but not yet planned (no directory created) are invisible to this scan,
causing premature is_last_phase:true when only the first phase has
been scaffolded.
Add a fallback that parses ROADMAP.md phase headings when the
filesystem scan finds no next phase. Uses the existing comparePhaseNum
utility for consistent ordering with letter suffixes and decimals.

Without --no-index, git check-ignore only reports files as ignored if
they are untracked. Once .planning/ files enter git's index (e.g., from
an initial commit before .gitignore was set up), check-ignore returns
"not ignored" even when .gitignore explicitly lists .planning/.
This means the documented safety net — "if .planning/ is gitignored,
commit_docs is automatically false" — silently fails for any repo where
.planning/ was ever committed. The --no-index flag checks .gitignore
rules regardless of tracking state, matching user expectations.
