2bead6ca1d feat(#3149): add dedicated init.debug entry point for /gsd:debug
/gsd:debug was one of the last workflows with no cmdInit* of its own: its
Step 0 made three separate round-trips (state.load, resolve-model
gsd-debugger, config-get workflow.tdd_mode) to assemble one context. Because
no debug-scoped fact was computed at any entry point, ADR-1671 admission gate
(2) could never be satisfied for debug — an applicability atom naming such a
fact would evaluate FALSE forever and silently exclude its section.

Adds cmdInitDebug (init.debug), registers it in the init router and the
command-alias table, and collapses debug.md Step 0 to one call. Every field
resolves through the same primitive the call it replaces used: loadConfig for
commit_docs, withProjectRoot for response_language (#2402), planningPaths for
debug_dir, resolveModelInternal for debugger_model, and the existing
Boolean(workflow.tdd_mode) idiom for tdd_mode.

PlanningPaths gains a debug field so state.load and init.debug share ONE
debug-directory expression rather than two kept in sync by hand. state.load
keeps emitting debug_dir: it is a shipped query surface with its own test
anchor, so narrowing it would break unseen consumers for no gain.

No WHEN_VOCABULARY atom and no gsd:section marker: gate (1), a consuming
section of at least 400 bytes, belongs to the change that adds the section.

Closes #3149

* fix(#3001): indent continuation lines in serializeChangelog

serializeChangelog interpolated bullet bodies verbatim into a single
- ${body} (#${pr}) line. Any embedded newline became a column-0 line;
parseChangelog's continuation-fold (/^\s+/) didn't pick it up, so
flushBullet terminated the bullet early — dropping the continuation text
and the (#NNNN) PR trailer (recorded as pr: null). The round-trip property
serialize(IR) → parse(text) === IR was false for any body containing \n.

Fix: indent continuation lines (body.replace(/\n/g, '\n  ')) so the
parser folds them correctly. Round-trip test asserts both paragraphs'
content AND the PR number survive.

2843e25bf3 fix(#2988): local changeset/docs lint falls back to next, not main (#3095)
* fix(#2988): local changeset/docs lint falls back to next, not main

Both scripts/changeset/lint.cjs and scripts/lint-docs-required.cjs resolved
their diff base as GITHUB_BASE_REF || 'main'. GITHUB_BASE_REF is set only in
GitHub Actions; locally it falls back to 'main' (the release branch), which
lags far behind 'next' (the integration branch every PR targets). The
oversized diff range swept in every changeset fragment merged since the last
release, so the lint passed on the first fragment it saw regardless of
whether the current PR authored it — structurally vacuous.

Changed the fallback to 'next' (DEFAULT_BASE constant, exported from both
scripts for parity). CI behavior unchanged (GITHUB_BASE_REF is set there).
Added a parity test asserting both lints resolve the same base.

6128f73003 test(#3090): normalize the whole reason line, not just the category token
The allow-test-rule gate keys on identity, and the identity it records is
everything after the colon on the annotation line — not the category token.
Ten annotations carried the canonical category plus a trailing justification
on the same line, so the recorded identity was a prose blob, and where the
prose wrapped it was a sentence fragment: `source-text-is-the-product — the
workflow .md content IS`.

Seven of those ten are ones this branch already rewrote. That pass renamed the
token and left the prose, which is the same error this wave exists to correct,
one level down: the label was fixed without checking what the machine reads.

Justifications move to the following comment line, which the scanner ignores
because it lacks the token. No annotation gains or loses an issue reference, so
no exemption changes compliance status; the allowlist goes 161 to 159 as two
files' duplicate identities collapse.

git-base-branch.test.cjs carried the token twice — once as the real annotation,
once echoed in docblock prose that the line scanner parsed as a second
exemption with a truncated identity. The echo is reworded to drop the literal
token.

intel.test.cjs:1360 was cut off mid-clause with an issue ref appended after the
break; its sentence is restored and the ref kept on the annotation line so it
stays compliant.

Every remaining non-canonical identity is an ESLint RuleTester fixture inside a
`code:` template literal, which the line scanner cannot tell apart from an
annotation. Those two stay grandfathered.

7dd9e59f6b test(#3090): stop exempting violations under categories that do not fit
An allow-test-rule annotation citing a category that does not apply is worse
than no annotation, because it reads as reviewed. Eight were confirmed by
reading the assertions each one covered, and auditing the rest found five more
plus one refutation — a converter test whose wording described the wrong
mechanism while the covered assertion genuinely was deployed-text.

The instructive one used the CANONICAL string for the same mistake: STATE.md
command output labelled as a deployed artifact. A canonical string is not
evidence the category fits, which is why normalising strings alone would have
laundered the problem rather than fixed it. Every mapping the audit had inferred
rather than code-verified was spot-checked before rewriting, and the ones that
turned out not to fit were re-annotated rather than relabelled.

Fourteen STATE.md assertions had a typed extractor available all along and now
use it; their annotations came out because nothing needs exempting. Eight
assertions genuinely need a production change first — CLI stdout and stderr with
no structured mode — and are tagged pending-migration-to-typed-ir citing #3090,
which is what that category is for. It had zero real uses before this, while one
file carried a real citation to migration issue #2974 under a non-canonical tag.

Six annotations covered assertions that do no text matching at all. An exemption
for a violation that does not exist is noise that makes the real ones harder to
audit; those are removed.

atomic-write-coverage gains the annotation it always warranted — its own
docstring describes a structural-regression-guard while the file carried none.

Fifty-nine non-canonical strings across roughly thirty files are normalised, and
the allow-test-rule allowlist is regenerated to match. 472 annotations became
463: every one now uses a canonical category, and the two remaining
non-canonical strings are ESLint RuleTester fixtures, not annotations.

53ea8e0664 fix(#3057): make a guard's failure distinguishable from its benign result — Wave 1 (#3088)
* fix(#3057): refuse the write when the duplicate scan cannot complete

writeManifest documents itself as a fail-closed duplicate guard: if any
existing manifest shares plan_id with a different, non-terminal job_id it must
refuse, because dispatching again would duplicate the external job.

It could not honour that. The scan reads every sibling manifest looking for the
duplicate, and an unreadable or unparseable sibling was `continue`d past. If
the corrupt file was the one holding the live duplicate, the scan found nothing
and a duplicate external job dispatched.

The asymmetry is what gives it away: a malformed TARGET refused with
malformed_existing because clobbering is unacceptable, while a malformed
SIBLING was skipped — yet siblings are the only thing the duplicate check
reads.

Adds a scan_incomplete verdict that refuses and names the offending file, so an
operator can quarantine or repair it. Fail-closed alone would let one stale
corrupt manifest wedge every dispatch for that planning dir permanently; naming
the file is what makes refusing survivable. malformed_existing is untouched, so
the target/sibling distinction stays visible. The docstring is updated — it
previously stated a rule the function did not keep.

memFs() gains an optional failReads map so these branches are reachable at all;
they had zero coverage because the fake could not express a per-file read
fault. The signature is additive and every existing caller is unchanged.

The regression is proved by a pair, not a single test. A control writes a
readable sibling holding a genuine non-terminal duplicate and asserts
duplicate_plan_id, establishing the scenario is real; the regression then makes
that same path unreadable and asserts scan_incomplete. A first draft of this
test used a corrupt-JSON fixture containing no plan_id at all while its comment
claimed otherwise — it duplicated the unparseable-sibling case and proved
nothing, which is the defect class this phase exists to remove.

* fix(#3057): make a guard's failure distinguishable from its benign result

Wave 1 of the negative-space backfill: the branches where a guard that could
not verify something reported the same value it reports when everything is
fine. That indistinguishability is the defect; every fix here makes the two
states tellable apart, and every test proves it with a pair — one for the
failure, one for the benign case. A single test cannot establish that two
states are distinguishable, which is the whole property being fixed.

state.cts phaseInventoryProvider returned null for both a real disk-scan
failure and a genuinely empty phases dir, so `state rebuild` could report
success while phase-table reconciliation never ran. It now returns a
discriminated result and the CLI surfaces phase_inventory_scan_failed plus a
reason. The reason field turned out never to have been wired into the emitted
JSON at all — it existed only as an internal variable — so a test could only
assert on the operator-facing note. It is a real field now.

state.cts treated an unreadable lock body the same as an empty one, applying
the 1-second stealable floor. A lock we cannot read is not a lock we know is
stale; an unreadable body is now held to the deadman ceiling like a live
holder.

verification.cts findStaleVerificationSummary returned null on any fs, scan or
clock failure — meaning "not stale". It now returns a discriminated
StaleCheckResult and the caller records that the check was indeterminate.

git-base-branch resolveBaseBranch returned 'main' both when no candidate branch
existed and when every git tier timed out. A diagnostics variant now reports
whether the answer was verified, and the CLI writes an unverified-fallback note
to stderr. The stdout contract five workflows parse is untouched.

worktree-safety snapshotWorktreeInventory left exists:true when statSync threw,
so a guard that could not check reported the worktree present; exists is now
tri-state and a stat failure surfaces as an 'unverified' finding.
planWorktreePrune reported 'no_worktrees' for a parse failure, which is not the
same as an empty list — and it drives a prune. It now reports 'parse_failed'.

Fixing the inventory change exposed a second fail-open in verify.cts: the
validate-health consumer silently dropped findings whose kind it did not
recognise, so the new kind would have vanished. That is closed too — worth
noting that the survey enumerated producers of degraded verdicts, not consumers
that discard them.

worktree-base-ref and state-transition gain the distinguishing signal without
changing what they do: headAbsenceVerified, and a phase-inventory scan meta.
Whether those guards should ACT differently is a product question this change
does not answer, and both are flagged rather than quietly settled.

rescueSummaryArtifacts is left alone: rescuing on an uncertain cat-file is
deliberate per #2556. It now has tests proving it, and a recorded negative
finding — git cat-file -e returns 128 for both "absent from HEAD" and a fatal
error, so "uncertain" and "certain-and-fine" are not separable at the git
level.

* test(#3057): assert typed values, not rendered text

Ten assertions in the rebuild CLI suite matched substrings of produced output —
STATE.md body fields, a markdown table row, an audit-log heading, and JSON keys
read as text. CONTRIBUTING prohibits that: if the code under test produces
text, the test asserts on its structured surface instead.

No production surface had to be built. Every one already existed and was
already compiled into bin/lib: stateExtractField for body fields,
parseMarkdownTable for the phase table, collectSection for the audit-log
section, and result.data.log — already a typed RebuildLogEntry[]. The tests
were matching rendered text sitting next to the structured data.

One of those assertions was passing for the wrong reason. `stdout.includes
('rebuilt')` matched the JSON KEY name, not a value: the dry-run path emits
`mutated` and the real path emits `rebuilt`, so it would have passed whether
the value was true or false. It now asserts the value.

external-job's refusal already had to name the offending file — that naming is
why the fail-closed variant is survivable rather than a permanent wedge — but
the tests proved it by substring of a prose message. The failure result now
carries offendingPath as its own field and the tests assert it by value. The
human message is unchanged; operators read it.

Array membership is left alone. `phaseIds.includes('99')` and
`result.updated.includes('Completed Phases')` are membership checks on real
arrays, not text matching, and converting them would weaken nothing and clarify
nothing.

* test(#3057): execute acquireStateLock instead of grepping its source

The non-EEXIST lock test asserted on the TEXT of the built .cjs and never
called acquireStateLock. It carried an allow-test-rule: architectural-invariant
exemption to permit that. A source grep proves a literal is present in a file,
not that the behaviour works — it is weaker than a liveness test, which at
least runs the code, and it was the only coverage the fatal-errno path had.

Replaced with tests that inject the errno through fs and assert what actually
happens: a fatal EACCES propagates out of acquireStateLock with zero backoff
sleeps, while EAGAIN/EINTR/EINVAL/EIO/ENOENT/ESTALE/EPERM/EBUSY retry once and
succeed. The exemption is removed and its allowlist entry with it.

One old assertion is deliberately not carried over: it checked the retryable
errnos were expressed as a Set rather than an inline literal. That is a shape
check with no runtime signature; the behavioural tests fail if the code reverts
to the old inline check, which is the regression it was really guarding.

The #3057 lock-body tests move into that same file rather than a new one, which
is what lint-test-file-count asks for and puts every acquireStateLock test in
one place.

* fix(#3057): surface an indeterminate staleness check to its callers

An isolated review caught an inconsistency inside this wave. Two of the three
"add the distinguishing signal" fixes wire through to something a user sees:
git base-branch writes an unverified-fallback diagnostic to stderr, and an
unverifiable worktree surfaces as a W020 finding. The third set
staleCheckIndeterminate on readVerificationStatus's result and nothing read it.

A signal nobody consumes leaves the fail-open exactly as silent as before: the
staleness check could fail and the operator saw precisely what they would see
if the answer were genuinely "not stale". That is the defect this issue exists
to remove, so it is not defensible as scaffolding when its two siblings in the
same change already wire through.

All five callers now surface it, each through the channel it already had rather
than a mechanism imposed uniformly: phase complete adds it to its existing
warnings array and, on the blocked path, as an additive note on the error text;
init and roadmap carry it as a field on output they already emit; the UAT
report carries it without ever gating passed/blockers; workstream inventory
takes an injectable writeDiagnostic mirroring the git base-branch idiom,
because its return shape had nowhere to hang a per-phase field without
rippling the builder's types.

The routing decision is unchanged everywhere. What changes is only that a
caller and an operator can now tell a failed check from a completed one.

That diagnostic carries structured meta rather than being asserted by regex —
the default still writes only the human message to stderr, but tests assert
phaseDir and reason by value. Two earlier assertions in this branch were
converted the same way; this was the last raw-text assertion left.

Also records a scope correction: the completePhaseCore guards now compare
stateReplaceField's result to the body instead of testing truthiness, so a
field whose substitution produced identical text no longer reports as updated.
That is a real behaviour fix, not the signal-only change this file was
described as carrying, and its tests cover both the changed and unchanged
cases.

* test(#3057): bound two heavy subprocesses for a loaded bench, not an idle one

The remote matrix surfaced three failures unrelated to this branch's changes.
All were bad tests, and a re-run would have hidden every one of them.

The reviewer-flags parse block bounded bash -> node -> a full gsd-tools cold
start at 5 seconds. On a bench running thirty thousand tests in parallel that
is not a hang, it is a busy machine. Raised to 30s, matching the convention
sibling suites already use for script invocations, with a comment saying what
the budget covers so nobody tightens it back. Two further copies of the same
5-second spawn in the same file had the identical defect and are raised too —
they were not in the failure report, but they will be next time.

The fragment-propagation test bounded npm run regen:derived — a full build plus
eight generators, the heaviest subprocess in the suite — at five minutes, and
node22 was killed near the end. The captured output proves it: every generator
had written its files and gen:install-tree had emitted all fifteen runtimes
before the kill. Raised to fifteen minutes.

That failure read as `null !== 0`, which says nothing. status null means killed,
not a non-zero exit, and the two want different responses: one is a timeout to
size correctly, the other is a real build break. The assertion now distinguishes
them and names the signal.

Neither test's assertions were weakened and no retry was added. A retry here
would suppress exactly the signal the timeout exists to produce.

* test(#3057): capture fd 1 through the mock tracker, not a raw reassignment

The phase suite reported zero test results on both lanes while running for five
and a half minutes and exiting 1. No assertion text, no stderr, four events for
the whole file: enqueue, start, dequeue, complete. That shape is not a failing
assertion — it is the runner being unable to read the child at all, because it
parses its event stream from the child's stdout.

The cause was the capture helper reassigning fs.writeSync directly. Proven
rather than assumed: a standalone probe patched fs.writeSync and called
process.stdout.write, and the interception fired only when fd 1 resolved to a
FILE, not when it was a pipe. The remote runner captures the event stream to a
file, so a helper that was invisible against a pipe swallowed the reporter's own
output on the bench. That is also why the two sibling suites wired the same way
in this change pass cleanly — they use the mock tracker, the seam io.test.cjs
established for this exact function.

The helper now uses t.mock.method with an explicit restore after each call, so
teardown belongs to node:test rather than a second hand-rolled implementation,
and the interception cannot outlive the one synchronous call it wraps even if
that call throws. Ten call sites thread the test context through; three test
callbacks gained the parameter they lacked.

The three B3 tests are untouched — same assertions, same fault injection. Only
how the context reaches the helper changed.

* test(#3057): capture phase-complete output from a subprocess, not fd 1

Two attempts to make in-process fd-1 interception safe both failed on the
bench. The suite reported zero test results on either lane while exiting 1 —
four events for the whole file — because the runner parses its event stream
from the child's stdout, and process.stdout.write routes through fs.writeSync
whenever fd 1 resolves to a file, which is how the runner captures. Patching
that seam anywhere in a file can therefore destroy the file's own reporting,
and tightening the window only moved the runtime from 326s to 125s without
recovering a single event.

So the interception is gone rather than tuned. The helper now spawns gsd-tools
as a real subprocess and reads stdout the way the OS already gives it to us,
which is what the rest of the suite does. It asserts the command succeeded
before parsing, so a genuine failure can no longer present as a JSON parse
error.

The two fault-injecting tests could not survive that move as written: a
subprocess cannot see a mock installed in the parent. Instead of reinstating
the interception they now produce the fault on disk — the summary artifact is
created as a dangling symlink, so the staleness check's real statSync throws
inside the child. That is a more honest fixture than a mock in any case, since
it is a condition a user's tree can actually be in. Skipped on Windows, matching
the existing symlink precedent in the write-guard suite.

Three further call sites turned out to depend on parent-process writeFileSync
mocks the subprocess could not see. Those call the CJS function directly, which
is what they always wanted — they never needed stdout at all.

* fix(#3057): one name for one signal, one encoding for one distinction

Standards review found four things this branch introduced, all of them
inconsistencies with itself rather than with the repo.

One upstream bit reached its consumers under three names —
verification_stale_check_indeterminate in two modules, the same value with
"stale" dropped in a third, and stderr only in the fourth. Standardised on the
long name wherever it is a field. The workstream inventory keeps its stderr
channel, since its return shape has nowhere to hang a per-phase field without
rippling the builder's types, but it now says the same word for the same thing.

worktree-safety encoded one three-way distinction two ways in a single file: a
named union for a finding's kind, and boolean|null for an inventory entry's
existence. The second is now a named union too.

Two assertions matched human prose because the blocked and non-blocked
completion paths carried no typed field for the signal. Both now assert typed
values. The first round of this fix added the field but left the regex beside
it, which is the banned pattern sitting next to its own replacement; the second
removed it and added an assertion on the reason enum so nothing was lost.

The remaining two were reasoned away before being fixed, and both reasons were
bad. "No typed surface exists" is the condition CONTRIBUTING says to fix by
adding one — it took three lines. "The file already does this dozens of times"
is not licence to add instance number thirty-one; a convention that violates a
documented rule is debt, not precedent.

Vocabulary differing across DIFFERENT modules is left alone: CONTEXT.md rejects
a single shared result envelope, so per-module shapes are precedented, and a
baseline smell does not outrank a documented standard.

A census of every line this branch adds to a test file now finds no regex or
substring assertion on produced prose: 87 strictEqual, 25 ok (all non-empty or
shape guards), 12 equal, 3 throws (all typed err.code predicates), 3
deepStrictEqual, 2 notStrictEqual.

5719efbc6b fix(#2766): scan archived phases and read table-shaped Gaps/deferred entries (#3082)
* fix(#2766): scan archived phases and read table-shaped Gaps/deferred entries

Three silent false negatives in cmdAuditUat and its readers, all failing in
the reassuring (false-negative) direction — a UAT audit whose entire job is
to catch leftover work reporting zero over real work:

1. Archived phases invisible (src/uat.cts cmdAuditUat): on milestone
   completion milestone.cts MOVES phase dirs into
   .planning/milestones/<version>-phases/ (archive-by-default since #1871),
   leaving .planning/phases/ empty or absent. Partial archive → false
   all-clear; full archive → hard error indistinguishable from a broken
   install. Fix: enumerate archived dirs via the canonical
   getArchivedPhaseDirs seam (phase-locator.cts); archived dirs deliberately
   bypass getMilestonePhaseFilter (which scopes to the CURRENT milestone —
   applying it to past-milestone dirs would discard every one and reinstate
   the bug).

2. Table-shaped deferred-items.md yielded zero items (splitGapsEntries
   keyed on bullet openers only; a GFM table row starts with |). Fix: union
   of bullet + numbered + table-row splits.

3. Table-shaped ## Gaps yielded zero items (same bullet-only splitter).
   Fix: same union walker.

The table walker is deliberately NOT routed through parseMarkdownTable
(ADR-2143 §3 — that reads only the first table and treats ragged/headerless
shapes as errors, the wrong contract for a hand-written backstop table
that must surface its rows). New additive archived_milestone field labels
provenance.

Fix authored by issue reporter gavin-ray and verified against the published
tarball; maintainer triage (trek-e) confirmed all three findings. Cherry-
picked onto fresh next after prior PR #2832 closed for staleness; re-verified
under gsd-test + reviews. 21 regression tests including the negative
direction (bullet-only unchanged, status: resolved still suppressed, empty
phases dir still succeeds).

8f75e27554 fix(#3045): fail closed when an executor dispatch drops its resolved isolation (#3069)
* feat(#3045): deny an executor dispatch that drops its isolation flag

Every isolation gate already resolved correctly. The resolved value then reached
the executor through a prose instruction telling the model to substitute it into
a call the model composes itself, and nothing verified the substitution. When it
was dropped, the executor edited and committed in the user's primary checkout
with no consent and no warning.

A prose backstop would be the same class of artifact as the defect, so this is a
shipped PreToolUse hook on the Agent tool. It fires at the instant of the call
rather than being read once at the top of a workflow, which is the only placement
the model cannot skip.

The guard is inert unless it can positively establish that this is a GSD project,
that the project resolves to harness isolation, and that the dispatch targets an
executor. A non-GSD repo has no invariant to enforce. Where it cannot read the
configuration at all, it denies rather than assuming, with its own reason -- a
guard that cannot verify must not answer safe. A malformed payload allows rather
than throwing.

* feat(#3045): extend the isolation guard to Cursor

Cursor is the second of only two runtimes that resolve harness isolation, so
shipping the guard for Claude alone left half the exposed surface unguarded while
the changeset implied it was covered.

The two runtimes fail differently. On Claude the harness flag is a per-dispatch
kwarg the model must copy into a call it composes, and the defect is that it can
be dropped. On Cursor the flag is --worktree, which applies to the whole session,
and the subagent-start payload carries no isolation field at all. There is no
flag to check, so the guard verifies the effective state instead: whether the
workspace is genuinely running outside the user's primary checkout. That is a
stronger check than the Claude one because it tests reality rather than intent,
and it is commented so nobody later rewrites it into a flag check.

Isolation is established two ways, either sufficient: the workspace resolves to a
linked git worktree, or it sits under the worktree root Cursor manages. The
second matters because a directory Cursor placed there is a legitimate isolated
session even before it becomes a distinct git worktree, where linkage alone would
report no repository.

Detecting linkage required a new primitive rather than the existing context
resolver. That resolver short-circuits on finding a local .planning directory
before it ever compares the git directory to the common one -- and an isolation
worktree normally has its own checked-out .planning. Reusing it would have read a
correctly isolated session as unisolated and denied it, which is the failure
direction that gets a guard switched off. The comparison is now its own
shortcut-free function that the resolver delegates to after its own shortcut, so
existing behavior is unchanged, and the case that would have broken is pinned.

The subagent type is checked before any configuration is read, so an unreadable
config cannot deny a dispatch this guard would never have enforced against.

The input-schema comment on the Cursor hook documented only the fields common to
every event and omitted the ones specific to this one. That omission cost a
halt during this work; it now documents both.

* fix(#3045): enforce the resolved dispatch decision, not the host capability

The guard keyed on the registry's dispatch.isolation, which says only that a
runtime is CAPABLE of harness worktrees. The decision that actually governs a
dispatch is the one the workflow resolves after gating, and that legitimately
comes out as sequential in three documented cases: a project setting
use_worktrees false, a per-plan submodule intersection, and the base-check
auto-degrade. The workflow tells the model to omit the flag in exactly those
cases, and the guard was denying every one of them.

The third case matters most. The preceding fix made the base-check degrade on
git timeouts and a missing git binary, where it had previously answered "safe".
That correction is right, and it means a transient hang now degrades to
sequential far more often than before -- so the two changes composed into a trap
where the workflow behaved exactly as designed and the guard blocked it.

The workflow already resolves isolation in shell, deterministically, which is
what makes it a trustworthy source in a way the model-authored call is not. It
now records that resolved value through a dedicated verb, and both guards read
it first. A fresh record is authoritative, so sequential dispatches pass
untouched. Absent or stale, the guards fall back to the capability check
combined with the project's use_worktrees setting, which still covers the case
that never reaches the workflow.

Also widened the matcher to accept Task alongside Agent, since a host that names
the tool Task would otherwise leave the guard silently inert while implying
coverage; stopped assuming Claude when no runtime is declared, which is the
shipped default and would have demanded a Claude-only argument elsewhere; and
made a non-git project inert rather than denied, since advising a worktree
session is not actionable without a repository.

The original diagnosis never modeled sequential mode as legitimate. That
omission is what let this through, and it is now recorded there.

* fix(#3045): record at resolution and bind the record to its dispatch

Two independent reviews converged on the same failure: the guard was fail-open in
a default install, so it did not catch the defect it exists to catch. A shipped
project carries no runtime key, which made "runtime not confidently known" the
common case rather than a corner one. A record asserting that isolation was
required but carrying no flag then fell through to a capability lookup that
answered "none", and the dispatch was allowed. The flag itself only arrived from
a second shell block -- the same block a model dropping the argument would also
skip. A test had pinned that behavior as intended.

The record is now written by the resolver, as an unavoidable consequence of
asking for the value, rather than by a step the model is told in prose to go and
run. A guard against a prose-carried value cannot itself depend on prose. Mode,
flag and identifiers are written together and atomically, so the flagless window
is gone, and a record asserting isolation with no resolvable flag now denies
instead of degrading. Runtime is also resolved from the installer's own recorded
default, which makes confident resolution the normal case.

The per-plan submodule gate degrades after the phase-level decision and never
re-recorded, so a plan that legitimately ran sequentially was denied against a
still-fresh phase record. It now records its own, scoped to the plan.

A record also authorized any dispatch for four hours. One phase degrading to
sequential could silently license an unisolated dispatch in the next. Records
now carry phase and plan, the guards require them to match, and the window is
minutes rather than hours -- the resolver rewrites it before every dispatch, so
a long window bought nothing and only widened the hole.

The flag validator rejected any value beginning with two dashes, which is exactly
the form Cursor and Windsurf declare, so their real value could never have been
stored. Writer and reader also derived the record path differently and diverged
inside a linked worktree without local planning state.

The predictable path remains a way to silence the control without leaving a trace
in the diff. It grants no access an agent with shell does not already have, so it
is documented as accepted rather than redesigned around.

* fix(#3045): correct the staleness boundary and unmask a vacuous parity test

The remote runner returned twenty failures. One was a real production defect the
boundary case existed to catch: a record whose age exactly equalled the staleness
window was treated as fresh, so it stayed authoritative for one tick past its own
expiry. Freshness is now strictly inside the window.

The parity test meant to stop the two guards' executor lists from drifting could
never have failed. Its project fixture was a bare directory rather than a
repository, so the non-git inert branch answered before the executor list was
ever consulted. It asserted agreement it never actually measured. The fixture is
now a real repository, like every sibling in the file.

A test also asserted that Windsurf declares the worktree flag. It does not --
Windsurf resolves to no isolation by design, having no named concurrent dispatch
to isolate. The test claimed a registry fact that was never true, and a comment
in the resolver repeated it. Both corrected, and the test now proves what it
should have all along: that the parser accepts any bare flag value, rather than
one runtime's supposed value.

The new guard was missing from the bundled-hook whitelist, which is the surface
that decides what actually ships, and the per-plan gate had gained calls to the
launcher without the preamble those calls require. The changeset carried
parenthetical product descriptions the purity rule forbids.

* test(#3045): make the guard tests hold on Windows

Two tests redirect HOME to control where the installer-persisted runtime default
is read from. Node resolves the home directory from USERPROFILE on Windows and
never consults HOME, so both silently read the real runner profile, found no
recorded runtime, and asserted against a project the hook had not recognised. The
production code was already correct in asking the platform rather than the
variable; only the tests were wrong to assume one variable answers everywhere.
The helpers now mirror the override onto both.

The symlink spoofing test also created a directory symlink unconditionally, which
needs elevated privileges on Windows. It survived on this runner, but it would
fail on any host without them, so the creation is now attempted and the test
skips explicitly when it cannot be done -- a bare return would have counted as a
pass and hidden the gap.

Skipping alone would have left the platform uncovered, so the behaviour it proves
is now also driven in-process through an injected realpath, following the seam
already used for the clock. That case no longer depends on privileges at all, and
the end-to-end test keeps its original assertions wherever symlinks work.

da062c0e0d chore(#2996): inventory the workflow fragment tree as its own manifest families (#3061)
* feat(#2996): inventory the workflow fragment tree as its own families

Epic #1671 Phase 6.5, the epic's last deliverable.

47 step files across 15 workflows and 13 mode files were invisible to
docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json. Not through a missed row — through construction:
buildManifest walks each family with a flat readdirSync + isFile() and never
recurses, so nothing under gsd-core/workflows/<wf>/ could ever appear. modes/
has been invisible that way since #717 without any gate firing, which is the
evidence that this is a generator gap rather than someone forgetting a row.

Two new families, workflow_steps and workflow_modes, keyed by
<workflow>/<subdir>/<file> rather than a bare basename. That is deliberate: two
workflows may each own a regression-gate.md, and a step file may share a name
with a top-level workflow. The manifest is compared by JSON equality, so a
basename collision would silently drop an entry and read as "up to date".
Recursion is bounded at exactly one named subdirectory, and a limit+1 test pins
that bound so it cannot quietly become a general walk.

tests/inventory-manifest-sync.test.cjs carried its OWN duplicate copy of the
FAMILIES table — the DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX divergence class. Adding a family to
the generator alone would have left that test verifying six of eight families
while still reporting green. The table now lives once in the generator and is
imported, so the two surfaces cannot drift; runMain is guarded behind
require.main so importing does not execute the CLI.

The per-file roster stays in the generated manifest rather than being copied
into INVENTORY.md: 60 hand-maintained rows in lockstep with a generated artifact
is precisely the drift this file exists to catch.

CONTEXT.md's RULESET.MANIFEST-CANONICAL-KEY and DEFECT.INVENTORY-DRIFT both said
"six families" and now say eight, with the two key shapes and the import rule
recorded. The non-shipping example index was regenerated for the same edits.

Note on scope: this issue also asked for a one-fragment-edit proof. That landed
independently as PR #3046 and is not rebuilt here.

Refs #2996

* fix(#2996): correct a fabricated roster and an inert coverage pragma

Isolated review returned one blocker and three lesser findings. All four were
real; all four are fixed.

BLOCKER — docs/INVENTORY.md claimed the workflow_modes roster was
"discuss-phase, sketch". There is no gsd-core/workflows/sketch/ and never has
been; the second member is `help` (4 mode files), exactly as the manifest
generated by this same diff already listed. A doc contradicting the manifest it
describes, in the PR whose whole purpose is closing doc/reality drift. The
adjacent hand-maintained "15 workflows" count is also removed: an unenforced
number in a table cell is the same staleness class this file exists to catch,
and no test guards table-cell counts.

MAJOR — the CLI entry guard carried `/* istanbul ignore next */`, which excludes
nothing here. This repo measures coverage with c8 (test:coverage:scripts-floor,
55% floor over scripts/**/*.cjs), and c8/v8-to-istanbul honors only
`/* c8 ignore next */`. The pragma looked like it was doing something and was
not — the same failure shape as a marker that looks like working gating.

MINOR — collectNested called statSync/readdirSync unguarded, so a dangling
symlink or an EACCES directory under any workflow's steps/ would throw uncaught
and red the manifest gate for the entire repo. An entry that cannot be statted
is, for inventory purposes, not a countable file — the same disposition as "not
a directory". Row 13c pins the behavior with a real dangling symlink.

Refs #2996

* chore(#2996): backfill changeset pr number to 3061

* test(#2996): guard the dangling-symlink row on Windows

fs.symlinkSync throws EPERM on Windows without elevation or Developer Mode, so
row 13c would red the Windows lane. Guarded with the repo's idiom — a
process.platform check plus a genuine t.skip() carrying its reason, never a bare
return, which node:test counts as a PASS and would hide the gap.

Worth recording why this was not caught here: CI classified this PR's diff as
inert (no bin/, gsd-core/, or src/ changes), so the full test matrix was SKIPPED
entirely — the 'full test (${{ matrix.os }}, ...)' job shows as skipping with
its matrix expression unexpanded. The Windows lane never ran. It would have
fired on the next PR that does touch core code, in someone else's change.

ffd5370464 fix(#2903): use the command form that actually works in reader-facing docs (#3047)
* fix(#2903): use the command form that actually works in reader-facing docs

Docs told readers to type the colon form, which no runtime registers -- 18 of
19 runtimes use slash-hyphen and the 19th uses shell-var -- so anyone copying an
example got an unrecognized command. Swept 178 occurrences across 53 files,
locale mirrors included so they do not re-diverge from English.

The colon form is a source-authoring token, not a user-facing one: install-time
converters key on it to produce the hyphen form runtimes actually register. So
the sweep is scoped, and three things are deliberately left alone:

- ADRs, which are a historical record; editing their prose falsifies what was
  written at the time.
- The legacy release-notes archive, pending a maintainer decision on whether it
  follows the same historical carve-out. Excluding it keeps a later reversal
  additive rather than a revert.
- Source artifacts under commands, workflows and agents, where the colon form is
  load-bearing. Rewriting those would break the installed-skill guarantee across
  every runtime -- the single largest hazard here.

The plugin namespace form is a real, separate token and survives untouched.

Adds a lint enforcing exactly that boundary, since the correct form genuinely
differs by directory and nothing previously caught the drift.

Also fixes a hardcoded colon form in the capability-matrix generator. The sweep
alone would have left the generated matrix disagreeing with the template that
produces it, so the fix is at the source and the output regenerated.

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

* fix(#2903): stop the sweep misquoting source frontmatter

Adversarial review caught three lines where the sweep rewrote a citation of the
literal YAML name: key from a source command file. That key genuinely is the
colon form -- this change's own carve-out logic says source-authoring tokens keep
it -- so the docs ended up misquoting the real files. One of the three is an
acceptance-checklist assertion, which the sweep turned into a false statement.

Restored the three citations to match their sources verbatim, surgically: where a
line carried both a name: citation and a real reader-facing slash command, only
the citation reverted and the command stayed corrected.

The guard needed the same distinction, or it would have flagged the restoration
and reddened the build: a gsd:<cmd> token preceded by name: is a citation of a
source token and is now permitted. The exemption is deliberately narrow -- a bare
gsd:<cmd> anywhere else still fails -- with a test pinning that narrowness.

Also makes the detection case-insensitive. Review found /GSD:next slipped through
silently; no such casing exists in the tree today, so this closes a latent gap
rather than fixing a live one.

Swept the whole tree for further corrupted citations: none beyond the three.

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

* fix(#2903): retire the stale-next invariant and sweep next like every other command

Maintainer decision on a genuine conflict between two contracts.

Invariant #3054 banned the literal /gsd-next from user-facing docs because it
named a retired workflow-advance command. But commands/gsd/next.md is a live
command -- the state-aware smart-entry launcher -- and this issue requires docs
to use the hyphen form every runtime actually registers. Both could not hold for
this one command, so docs had been sidestepping the ban by keeping the colon
form, which is exactly the defect this issue exists to remove.

FEATURES.md already recorded the reassignment: the hyphen form "is not the
retired workflow-advance command; it is reserved for the state-aware smart-entry
launcher. Workflow advancement remains under /gsd-progress --next." With that
reassignment the invariant's premise is obsolete and the guard now contradicts
the documented command form, so it is retired with a comment recording why
rather than deleted silently.

next is now swept like every other command, and the earlier exemption added to
the new guard is removed so nothing is special-cased.

Four citations of the literal name: frontmatter key stay in colon form, because
the source file really does carry name: gsd:next and a doc quoting it must
reproduce it verbatim. Two of those lines were reworded to say which side is the
frontmatter key and which is the slash command, since they previously conflated
the two.

Verified the retired scan would now genuinely fail against this tree -- the
conflict was real and resolved, not dodged.

f1af47766a chore(#1671): widen the when= grammar and key the section manifest per workflow — Phase 6.1 (#3013)
* chore(#2992): widen the when= grammar and key the section manifest per workflow

Epic #1671 Phase 6.1. Two blockers stopped the fragment model reaching any
file beyond execute-phase.md: the when= vocabulary was frozen at 4 atoms
(3 execute-phase-specific), and the section manifest was single-workflow by
construction with 'execute-phase' hardcoded into buildSectionManifestField.

- widen WHEN_VOCABULARY 4 -> 14 via a coordinated ADR-1671 amendment; the
  grammar stays CLOSED (one atom, no operators, negation or nesting) and
  WHEN_PREDICATES stays a hand-written literal map, never deriving a
  predicate from its atom string
- InvocationFacts gains flags: ReadonlySet<string> plus three computed state
  booleans; add the missing reverse vocabulary/predicate parity guard
- key the manifest artifact per workflow; a stale flat {sections:[...]}
  artifact now fails shape validation instead of being misattributed
- wire the field into six init entry points and parse the flags each needs

An atom ships only with both a real consuming section and a fact the init
seam actually computes. Six surveyed atoms are withheld because their
workflows have no dedicated init entry point; an atom without a computed
fact evaluates false forever and silently disables its own section.

Fixes a defect found while wiring: parseNamedArgs always materializes a
boolean flag key, so folding its false into the absent sentinel is required
or every flag reads as present and gating is silently always-on.

Also resolves ADR-1671:194 by measurement: --mvp stays unmarkable, because
its interleaved sites are always-run flag resolution and a ~340 byte block
that already delegates lazily.

Refs #2992

* fix(#2992): treat any falsy option value as an absent flag and reject unsafe manifest read paths

Findings from two orthogonal reviews (Claude /code-review + an isolated
adversarial pass); both independently reproduced the first one.

- MAJOR: the flags-builder treated only `undefined` as absent, but
  parseNamedArgs yields `null` for an absent value-flag and `false` for an
  absent boolean-flag, so `--granularity` read as present on every
  plan-phase invocation. Fixed at the root: a flag is present iff its
  option value is truthy. The six per-handler `|| undefined` folds are now
  redundant and removed, which also closes the duplicate-translation and
  missed-onboard-handler findings.
- MAJOR: state:needs-codebase-map had zero coverage. Added unit, property
  and real-CLI integration tests.
- MINOR: reject absolute, UNC/drive and `..`-traversing `read` paths in the
  manifest, degrading the whole load to null like every other shape
  violation. Verified: `/etc/passwd` previously reached section_manifest.read.
- MINOR: corrected a stale "4 to 20" doc comment; the vocabulary is 14.

Refs #2992

* test(#2992): update the generator suite for the per-workflow manifest shape

The remote matrix went red with 5 unique failures, identical on
linux-node22 and linux-node24, all in tests/gen-section-manifest.test.cjs.
Re-keying the artifact to {workflows:{...}} left this suite asserting the
old flat {sections:[...]} shape; nothing else in the tree still does.

- three tests read manifest.sections.length, now undefined; retargeted at
  workflows.<name> with their original intent preserved (a fenced or
  loop-host marker still asserts NO section is produced, not merely a
  changed count)
- the stale-manifest test wrote its fixture in the OLD shape, so it tripped
  shape validation and stopped exercising staleness at all. Its fixture is
  now valid-but-mismatched so FAIL_STALE is genuinely reached again.
- added the coverage that exposed: a pre-6.1 flat artifact must report
  FAIL_MANIFEST_MALFORMED_SHAPE. That is the real upgrade path for an
  installed tree and nothing covered it.

07de60523c fix(#2657): untrack the nine ADR-457 migration-gap compiled artifacts (#3011)
* test(#2657): add failing-first regression for tracked bin/lib compiled artifacts

Nine gsd-core/bin/lib/*.cjs artifacts are tracked in git despite having
src/*.cts sources, violating ADR-457's build-at-publish contract. This
regression test asserts the ADR-457 end state (untracked, gitignored,
empty-set reported by the #2656 sync guard) and fails until the tracking
is fixed.

* fix(#2657): untrack the nine ADR-457 migration-gap compiled artifacts

Nine gsd-core/bin/lib/*.cjs artifacts (api-coverage, assumption-delta,
claude-orchestration, claude-orchestration-command-router, external-job,
markdown-table, runtime-artifact-install-plan, state-transition,
write-set) were tracked in git despite each having a matching src/*.cts
source, letting the committed bytes drift silently from source (#2653
demonstrated this for api-coverage.cjs).

Seven had no .gitignore entry at all; two (markdown-table.cjs,
write-set.cjs) had a pattern added by #2248 but were never
git rm --cached. Both gaps produce the same tracked-file symptom.

Untracks all nine and adds the seven missing .gitignore entries next to
their two siblings, reaching ADR-457's end state: bin/lib/*.cjs is a
gitignored build artifact built via prepare/pretest/prepublishOnly, never
checked-in source of truth. The #2656 artifact-sync guard is
regime-agnostic by design and needed no code change; it now reports the
empty-set end state.

* test(#2657): consolidate repeated still-tracked/unmatched assertion shape

Code-review finding (Standards axis, Duplicated Code): the three
'none of the nine should still be in bad state X' checks shared an
identical filter-then-assert-empty shape. Extracted assertNoneStillBad()
as a shared helper; behavior is unchanged.

* fix(#2657): make the .gitignore-match assertion existence-independent

The regression test's check-ignore assertion used --no-index, which
locally exercises the pattern correctly but was reported failing on
gsd-test's fresh shallow clone. Switched to plain 'git check-ignore -q'
(no --no-index): verified via a real git worktree checkout at both
origin/next (fails: all nine report not-ignored, since check-ignore
correctly special-cases the still-tracked pre-fix state) and this
branch's tip (passes: all nine report ignored). Plain check-ignore is
also semantically stronger than --no-index here, since it honors the
'a tracked path is never reported ignored' rule that --no-index
bypasses -- exactly the property under test for the two paths whose
.gitignore pattern predates this fix (#2248) but were never untracked.

Also reconciled the .gitignore comment: it previously read 'these
seven' beside seven new lines with no indication of the other two (of
nine total) that already had a pattern from #2248. Annotated both
groups so the count is unambiguous at the point of the diff.

* test(#2657): make every git invocation self-diagnosing

b6f915bc0 failed in the runner with a shape that turned out not to be
about .gitignore content or the merge: two of the five failures in this
file were 'Command failed' / 'Got unwanted exception' -- git itself
erroring, not answering. The old code used execFileSync + try/catch,
which conflates 'git said no' with 'git could not run' -- both looked
like the same negative result to the test, exactly the failure mode
that produced 'unmatched: <all nine>' twice on two different
assertions for two different reasons.

Switched every git invocation to spawnSync (never throws) and made
every assertion check the exit status explicitly before interpreting
output:
  - git ls-files: must exit 0, or the assertion fails loud with cwd,
    exit status, and stderr instead of silently reading an error as
    'nothing tracked'.
  - git check-ignore -q: only exit 0 (ignored) and exit 1 (not
    ignored) are legitimate answers per check-ignore(1); any other
    status is now a thrown infrastructure failure, never read as
    'not ignored'.
  - trackedCompiledArtifacts(): a thrown error is now reported as
    what it is (its internal git call failed), not swallowed into a
    'still tracked' verdict.
  - the sync-guard subprocess check now reports cwd/stderr/stdout on
    a non-zero exit instead of a bare doesNotThrow.

This is a genuine, independent test defect (a test that reads a
failed command's empty output as a meaningful answer can pass or fail
for the wrong reason) as well as the mechanism for finally surfacing
why b6f915bc0 failed in the runner: the next run's assertion messages
will show the resolved cwd and git's actual stderr instead of an
opaque 'unmatched: <all nine>'.

* fix(#2657): trust the repo root for git calls under dubious-ownership

Root cause of the failing runner verdict, harvested from the
diagnostics commit: every git invocation in the container exits 128
with 'fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at /work' --
the checkout there is owned by a different uid than the process
running the tests, and git refuses to operate at all. The old
assertions read that hard failure as 'not ignored' / 'still tracked',
producing the all-nine symptom seen on both b6f915bc0 (plain
check-ignore) and 34052f836 (--no-index). Nothing was ever wrong with
the untracking, the .gitignore content, or the merge -- confirmed by
exhaustive local reproduction (git worktree, real shallow clone, the
runner's exact clone+checkout+merge sequence from its own Go source)
that could never surface the bug because this machine owns its own
checkouts.

Fixed at both git() call sites in this exact seam by passing
'-c safe.directory=<repo root>' per-invocation (never written to any
config file, so trust is scoped to the single call):
  - tests/fix-2657-untrack-compiled-artifacts.test.cjs
  - scripts/lint-compiled-artifact-sync.cjs -- a SHIPPED script with
    the identical defect (its own git ls-files failed the same way in
    the same run), which would fail identically for any containerized
    CI lane whose checkout uid differs from the running user, not just
    this branch. Folded in under the no-defer rule rather than filed
    separately, since it sits in the exact tracked-compiled-artifact
    guard this issue is about.

The status-code guards added in 31858818e stay in place -- they are
what turned an unexplainable 'unmatched: <all nine>' into a one-line
diagnosis, and they must keep any future infrastructure fault from
silently reading as a substantive result.

a987cf2731 chore(#2932): emit a per-invocation section manifest from the init bundle (#2987)
* chore(#2932): emit a per-invocation section manifest from init

Extends the init bundle with a typed per-invocation section manifest so an
invocation loads only the branch guidance it will actually take.

The three flag/state-gated branches in execute-phase.md move into their own
step files; the parent keeps its gsd:section markers wrapping a one-line
on-demand reference, so each section's prose lives in exactly one file and
the parent shrinks 93369 -> 89507 bytes. A new drift-guarded generator
derives the shipped section manifest from those markers, and a new pure
evaluator maps invocation facts to applicable section ids.

The evaluator is a lookup over the frozen WHEN_VOCABULARY, never a parser
(Greenspun's Tenth Rule, ADR-1671:69); a parity test asserts the vocabulary
and the predicate map stay exhaustively in sync.

Closes #2932

* fix(#2932): fail closed on prototype-chain when values

An isolated adversarial review found WHEN_PREDICATES[section.when] was a
bracket lookup on a plain-prototype object, so inherited Object.prototype
members resolved as predicates: "constructor"/"toString"/"valueOf"/
"hasOwnProperty" returned truthy and SILENTLY INCLUDED the section, and
"__proto__" threw an untyped TypeError carrying no .reason. Both violate
the module's documented fail-closed contract, and the manifest is read from
disk at run time so it cannot be assumed trustworthy.

Builds the predicate map on a null prototype and guards the lookup with an
explicit Object.hasOwn check. Adds table-driven coverage for nine
Object.prototype-shaped keys asserting the TYPED reason (asserting only
that it throws would still pass while broken) plus a fast-check property
injecting a hostile value at an arbitrary document position.

- Blocker 2: register gsd-write-guard.js in BUNDLED_GSD_HOOK_FILES
  (no-shipping-drift test).
- Blocker 3: update the always-on hook enumerations in ADR-766 and
  CONTEXT.md from six to seven.
- Major 4: fail CLOSED on non-ENOENT read errors — only a missing file
  (new-file Write) passes; EACCES/EISDIR/ELOOP/etc now block, with a
  typed readError field and the override still honored. Tested, with a
  negative control against the pre-fix hook.
- Major 5: fast-check property test for the SHRINK_RATIO/FLOOR_LINES
  budget contract (blocked ⟺ newLines < oldLines*SHRINK_RATIO above the
  floor; sub-floor always exempt), boundary examples pinned.
- Major 6: block output now carries typed oldLines/newLines/
  overrideEnvVar fields; tests assert on those instead of regexing the
  free-form reason string.
- Minor: CURATED_PATTERNS are case-insensitive (case-insensitive-FS
  bypass on macOS/Windows); limit+1 boundary tests added for both the
  floor and the ratio.

* enhance(#2255): engage the write guard on Kimi's native payload shape

The guard shipped with Claude-vocabulary checks (tool_name 'Write',
tool_input.file_path), which #2304 showed leaves a guard dormant on
Kimi: the [[hooks]] matcher is registered pre-translated but kimi-cli
forwards its native payload verbatim — tool_name 'WriteFile' (bare or
module-qualified) and tool_input.path per its tool schemas
(src/kimi_cli/tools/file/write.py). The guard matched, saw an unknown
name, and exited 0.

Apply the same per-guard normalization PR #2326 gives the three
sibling guards (name + field mapping, inlined — hook scripts stage as
standalone files), and write the block reason to stderr as well as
stdout JSON: Kimi feeds stderr, not stdout, back to the model on
exit 2, so a stdout-only reason blocks without telling the model why
or naming the documented override.

Regression tests pipe Kimi-shaped payloads (engage, qualified-name,
stderr-reason) plus exemption pins (StrReplaceFile stays out of scope
by design; non-curated paths pass) — verified red against the pre-fix
guard, green after.

* enhance(#2255): rebase onto next; regenerate golden-parity fixtures

* enhance(#2255): wire the escape hatch into complete-milestone's reorganize step

Review Blocker 1: the guard hard-blocked /gsd:complete-milestone's ROADMAP
reorganize — the tree's only legitimate milestone reset and the exact caller
GSD_ALLOW_PLANNING_SHRINK was built for. The reorganize step now performs the
rewrite through a shell write with the hatch set on the command (a hook
inherits the runtime env, so a bare Write cannot carry a per-step override),
and a binding test derives the env var name from the guard's typed output and
asserts (a) the workflow step sets it and (b) the guard passes the identical
catastrophic payload under it — so the next complete-milestone.md edit cannot
silently re-break the wiring.

* enhance(#2255): drop dead Edit-class mapping from normalizeKimiPayload

Review Major 1: StrReplaceFile -> 'Edit' and the old_string/new_string
reconstruction were unreachable-by-effect — the guard exits 0 for any
tool_name !== 'Write', so nothing ever read the fields they set, leaving
guaranteed-surviving mutants against the Stryker bar. The map now carries
only WriteFile -> 'Write'; the StrReplaceFile exemption test message states
the fall-through it actually exercises.

* enhance(#2255): review minors — American spellings; writeSync before exit(2)

Minor 1: normalised/normalise -> American house style. Minor 2: the two
block paths wrote stdout+stderr via async pipe writes then exit(2) —
async-on-Windows, unflushed at exit; fs.writeSync(1/2, ...) makes the block
payload durable.

* enhance(#2255): assert stderr equals the typed reason, not raw prose

Minor 3: the last raw-text match in the suite pinned override-name prose on
stderr. The contract is "stderr carries the reason Kimi feeds back" — now
asserted as stderr non-empty and byte-equal to the parsed stdout.reason.

* enhance(#2255): bind the write-guard's Kimi normalization into the parity test

Review Major 2: the guard's normalizeKimiPayload is a 4th inlined copy with
nothing binding it. This extends PR #2326's kimi-guard-normalization-parity
test (same path and helpers, authored as a superset so either merge order
resolves cleanly): sibling byte-parity is existence-gated zero-or-all —
trivially green until #2326 lands, full-strength after — and the write-guard
copy is bound semantically (map is the value-inverse of convertKimiToolName;
the Kimi name for Write must map, or the guard is dormant on Kimi; the
path -> file_path half must be present). Byte-parity is deliberately not
asserted for this copy: it legitimately omits the Edit-class mapping
(Major 1 — dead code in a Write-only guard).

* enhance(#2255): refresh golden-parity fixtures for revised guard + workflow

* chore(#2255): regenerate golden fixtures after rebase onto next

The committed fixture hashes were generated against a tree predating
next's latest 11 commits, which independently modified the same
install-parity surface. Rebased onto next and regenerated with
`npm run gen:golden`.

Verified: against upstream/next the regenerated fixtures differ by
exactly this PR's own entries -- hooks/gsd-write-guard.js (new),
hooks/managed-hooks-registry.cjs, plugins/gsd-core.js, and
gsd-core/workflows/complete-milestone.md. No unrelated drift.

* fix(#2255): regenerate workflow size baseline for complete-milestone

`complete-milestone.md` grew 31071 -> 32061 (+990) when the round-2
review fix bound GSD_ALLOW_PLANNING_SHRINK=1 into the reorganize step,
but tests/workflow-size-baseline.json was never regenerated. The
per-file workflow baseline test (issue #1074) failed on
ubuntu-latest/22 and both macOS shard 1/3 jobs.

The growth is justified: it is the escape-hatch binding requested in
review round 2 (the guard must not hard-block the tree's only
legitimate milestone reset), not incidental bloat.

Regenerated via `npm run size:baseline`; the diff is exactly the one
entry.

* chore(#2255): regenerate golden fixtures and size baseline after rebase onto next

* enhance(#2255): bind the shrink escape hatch mechanically — single-use sentinel the guard consumes

Round-5 M1: the per-step `GSD_ALLOW_PLANNING_SHRINK=1 tee` prefix was inert
(no PreToolUse hook exists on Bash in this family; the write succeeded by
dodging the guard, not by the override firing) and the protection was prose.
The hatch is now a transport code consults: complete-milestone's reorganize
step arms `.planning/.gsd-allow-shrink` with the target's path, keeps the
Write tool as the sanctioned path, and the guard — at the block point only —
verifies the sentinel is fresh (15 min) and names the pending target, then
CONSUMES it and allows that one write. Path-bound + single-use + freshness
keep it from becoming a standing unlock. The env var remains as the
interactive transport, where it can actually reach the hook.

Regression tests written first (negative control: 3 failed pre-fix): the
armed-sentinel Write passes and consumes; stale does not exempt; a token for
a different file neither exempts nor is consumed; the binding test now takes
the sentinel name from the guard's typed output (overrideSentinel), asserts
the step arms it, and asserts the step no longer routes the rewrite around
Write via a shell pipe.

Also in this commit, same file:
- m2: block emission is exception-safe — emitBlock() wraps both writeSync
  sites in their own try/catch that still exits 2, so an EPIPE can no longer
  convert fail-closed into the outer catch's fail-open.
- Header discloses the two reviewed design limits (cumulative sequential
  shrink; lexical match vs symlinked paths) per round-5 scoping.

* docs(#2255): document the sentinel transport across guard surfaces; changeset ends with the (#2255) parenthetical (m4)

USER-GUIDE bullet, INVENTORY row (en + ja/ko/pt/zh), the
runtime-hooks-surface registration comment, and the changeset now describe
both hatches — the single-use sentinel for workflow steps and the env var
for interactive use — instead of implying a per-step env can reach a hook.
The changeset's trailing `Resolves #2255.` prose becomes the `(#2255)`
parenthetical the repo's fragments use (round-5 m4).

* chore(#2255): regenerate derived families on the rebased tree (full sweep)

Full generator sweep after rebasing onto next @ the body-parser-patched
lockfile: build, gen-inventory-manifest, gen:golden, size:baseline. Every
regen delta verified to be either a PR-owned entry (gsd-write-guard.js,
complete-milestone.md, INVENTORY/USER-GUIDE) or exact convergence to next's
committed value for entries our arbitrary-side conflict resolution had left
stale (all 18 runtime fixtures checked mechanically).

* test(#2255): use helpers.cleanup for sentinel teardown, not raw fs.rmSync

The repo's local/no-raw-rmsync-in-tests rule exists for the Windows-EBUSY
retry budget; the sentinel disarm now rides it like every other teardown.

* chore(#2255): regenerate derived families after rebase onto next

Full sweep on the rebased tree (build -> gen-inventory-manifest ->
gen:golden -> size:baseline). Every delta is either a PR-owned entry
(hooks/gsd-write-guard.js, its registration surfaces
hooks/managed-hooks-registry.cjs and the two plugin buses,
gsd-core/workflows/complete-milestone.md) or exact convergence to
next's committed value across all 18 runtime fixtures.

* chore(#2255): regenerate derived families after rebase onto next @ a5180d96

Rebase onto current `next` (a5180d96) resolved 12 conflicting
golden-install-parity fixtures; all regenerated via the full generator
sweep (build, gen:golden, size:baseline) rather than a single generator.

`lint:generated-sync` reports every generated artifact in sync. All 45
differing fixture keys and the single workflow-size-baseline entry map
to files this PR actually touches; no foreign drift.

* fix(#2255): remove the stale unguarded reorganize_roadmap step (round-8 blocker)

complete-milestone.md carried a second ROADMAP-collapsing step,
`reorganize_roadmap`, distinct from the sentinel-armed
`reorganize_roadmap_and_delete_originals` this PR wired. It is a vestige
of the pre-archive-then-reorganize design: it sits BEFORE
archive_milestone, so executing it as written would collapse ROADMAP.md
before the archive snapshots the full phase detail — and its Write is
exactly the shape gsd-write-guard hard-blocks, with no hatch armed. The
file's own success criteria describe only one reorganize outcome
(Backlog-preserving, overwrite-in-place — the later step's properties),
and archive_milestone points forward to "the reorganize step".

Removed rather than wired, per the round-8 review's confirm-and-remove
option. A new binding test asserts the sentinel-armed step is the ONLY
reorganize step in the workflow, so an unguarded collapse step cannot be
silently reintroduced (negative-controlled: fails against the pre-fix
tree). Golden-parity fixtures and the size baseline regenerate for the
shrunk file; every changed fixture key is complete-milestone.md's own.

* test(#2255): document why the read-error injection is a path collision, not an fs monkeypatch

Round-8 nit: the non-ENOENT tests inject via a directory-at-target-path
collision instead of the repo's fs-method monkeypatch pattern. That is
deliberate, not drift — runHook exercises the hook as a spawnSync child
process, so an in-process fs.readFileSync patch (the pattern the cited
siblings use on require'd, in-process code) can never reach the code
under test. Record the reasoning at the injection site.

* chore(#2255): regenerate derived families after rebase onto next @ 0d08c320

Rebase onto current next (0d08c320) for the CONFLICTING/DIRTY state. All 32
conflicts were generated artifacts (19 golden-install-parity, 12 install-tree,
workflow-size-baseline); resolved arbitrarily and regenerated via a full
generator sweep (build, gen:golden, size:baseline, gen-inventory-manifest)
rather than hand-merged. No source conflicts.

Regen diff verified against the PR's changed-file set: 7 distinct differing
keys, all PR-owned (gsd-write-guard.js, managed-hooks-registry.cjs,
plugins/gsd-core.js, complete-milestone.md, and their .kimi mirrors).
lint:generated-sync clean.

* chore(#2255): regenerate derived families after rebase onto next @ 9138271b

Conflict set was 20 paths, every one a generated artifact, zero source
conflicts — resolved arbitrarily during the replay and regenerated here,
per the maintainer's round-9 recipe (never hand-merged).

Generator sweep (not just gen:golden): npm run build, gen:golden,
size:baseline, gen-inventory-manifest, gen:registry. INVENTORY-MANIFEST
came back byte-identical, so the merged value was already correct.

Regen diff verified == PR-touched entries: every differing leaf key
attributes to a file this PR changes (complete-milestone.md, the guard,
managed-hooks-registry.cjs, both plugin buses) — derived from the
changed-file set, not a feature-name filter.

* fix(#2255): port the #2595 Kimi-payload hardening the base landed for the sibling guards

Self-found via the round-10 base sweep: a8b40fa5 (#2547/PR #2595) hardened
gsd-prompt/read/worktree-path-guard's normalizeKimiPayload after this PR was
authored, and this guard carried all three pre-fix shapes:

- `path` now wins outright over a model-supplied `file_path` — kimi-cli's
  WriteFile schema carries no `file_path`, so a payload pairing a curated
  `path` with a spurious `file_path: ""` had the guard reading '' and
  exiting 0 while kimi-cli wrote to `path` (one-key bypass, no crash needed).
- null/primitive payloads pass through deliberately instead of throwing into
  the fail-open catch.
- the `file_path` read is typed (`typeof === 'string'`), closing the
  crash-to-allow on `[]`/`{}` — this is what the base-added
  kimi-guard-typed-payload-reads scan flags.

Negative-controlled: the shadowing payload exits 0 against the pre-fix guard
and 2 against this one.

* fix(#2255): round 9 Major 2 — stop printing the sentinel recipe in the agent-facing denial

The block message ended by telling the blocked agent exactly how to arm the
single-use sentinel — handing the #973 actor a mechanical self-authorization
in the moment it is blocked. The recipe is gone from the prose; the
corrective advice and the env override's name stay (the latter is a #2255
acceptance criterion, and a per-step env prefix cannot reach a hook anyway),
and the typed overrideSentinel field stays for the binding tests. The hatch
remains documented in USER-GUIDE.md and complete-milestone.md, where humans
and the workflow engine read.

* fix(#2255): round 9 Minors 1-2 — realpath-resolve the target before the curated match; disclose the /i Linux cost

Minor 1: a Write to a non-curated path that symlinks into a curated file was
not matched while writeFileSync followed the link — the target is now
realpath-resolved before the curated match (ENOENT keeps the lexical
resolution so new-file Writes still pass; any other realpath error falls
through to the read, which fails closed). Negative-controlled: the symlink
payload exits 0 against the pre-fix guard, 2 against this one. Test skips on
win32, where symlink creation needs privilege.

Minor 2: the header's design-limits block now names the unconditional /i
cost on case-sensitive Linux (a genuinely distinct .planning/roadmap.md is
also treated as curated) next to the stateless limit, and drops the closed
symlink limit.

* test(#2255): round 9 Minors 3-4 — CRLF counting pin + a passing Write leaves a fresh sentinel unburned

Minor 3: countLines' split('\n') is CRLF-safe for a count (the \r rides
along), confirmed by trace in the review — this pins it against this repo's
recurring CRLF regressions, on both sides of the compare and at the 40%
boundary.

Minor 4: consumeSentinelFor runs only after the ratio check would block, so
a within-tolerance Write never burns the workflow's token — true by
construction, previously un-asserted.

* fix(#2255): round 9 Major 3 — correct the stale env-var line in archive_milestone's summary

complete-milestone.md's "After archival" bullet still said the reorganize
happens "under GSD_ALLOW_PLANNING_SHRINK=1" — the wording from the round-2
design this PR's own history rejected in round 5 (a per-step env var cannot
reach a hook; setting it in a Bash step silently does nothing). It now points
at the sentinel mechanics the reorganize step actually documents, matching
that step and USER-GUIDE.md.

* docs(#2255): round 9 Major 1 — user-facing docs state the stateless per-Write limit

The changeset and USER-GUIDE described the guard as covering "catastrophically
shrinks" with no caveat, while the stateless design was disclosed only in the
hook header — an operator reading the shipped docs would conclude iterative
erosion is covered. Both surfaces now state the per-Write comparison and the
erosion non-goal explicitly, in line with what the guard does.

* fix(#2255): round 10 Blocker 1 — arm the hatch in the roadmapper's curated writes

gsd-roadmapper Step 7 Writes both .planning/ROADMAP.md and .planning/STATE.md
wholesale, and /gsd:new-milestone spawns it against the OUTGOING milestone's
files. new-milestone's `phases.clear` archives phase DIRECTORIES, never
ROADMAP.md, so nothing compacts it first, and no ordering rule forces
/gsd:complete-milestone to run before /gsd:new-milestone.

Measured against the shipped hook at the #973 file size (292 lines): a new
4-phase roadmap lands at 18.2% and an 8-phase one at 31.8% — both blocked; only
a 12-phase replacement (45.5%) clears. So the collapse is reachable on a
first-party flow, which is the failure mode #2255 para 4 says the guard must not
have.

Arms the single-use sentinel immediately before each Write, one per target
(the token is path-bound and single-use, so one arming cannot cover both), and
gates each arming on `[ -f ]` so the /gsd:new-project path — where the guard
already exempts via ENOENT — strands no unconsumed token.

Binding test derives the sentinel name from the guard's own typed output, so a
rename on either side fails the suite instead of silently unwiring the hatch.
Negative-controlled: 2 assertions fail against the pre-fix roadmapper.

* docs(#2255): round 10 Major 2 — scope the claim to the guarantee that ships

The sentinel is a plain file, so an agent that would reason past an advisory
can arm one with a single Bash call it is already permitted to make. The
"only defense independent of per-agent tool config" framing outran that, and
the changeset was on its way into CHANGELOG.md.

Retitles the claim on all three surfaces (changeset, guard header, USER-GUIDE)
to what the guard actually delivers: it blocks accidental and single-shot
collapse and is not a defense against a determined agent; what it converts is
"ignore a sentence" into "take one deliberate, path-bound, single-use,
auditable action".

Pinned by test on the DURABLE surfaces only — the guard header and USER-GUIDE.
The changeset fragment is deliberately not pinned: it is consumed at release,
so a test reading it would start failing the moment the release lands. The
bound-statement assertion normalizes comment markers and whitespace first, so
it pins the claim rather than the paragraph's line wrapping.

Negative-controlled: both assertions fail against the pre-fix surfaces.

* test(#2255): acknowledge the roadmapper growth from the round 10 Blocker 1 wiring

The emitted-attribution gate (#2719/#2767) flags gsd-roadmapper.md growing 1130
bytes without an acknowledgment. The growth is the Blocker 1 sentinel wiring
plus the rationale a future editor needs to keep it, so it gets an ack fragment
rather than a silencing regen — the gate's own message is explicit that there is
nothing left to regenerate.

Fragment is PR-scoped (2301-…) per the gate's naming instruction, and uses the
plain-string reason form the shipped fragments use.

Verified against the TRUE upstream tip, not the fork's origin/next: a stale
origin made this same gate report unrelated phantom drift (1 emitted path + 6
grown files + 5 stale acks) that vanishes when GSD_EMITTED_BASE is pinned.

* test(#2255): renumber the roadmapper PROSE_ALLOWLIST pin after the Step 7 wiring

CI red on shard 2/3, all four platforms. The #2751 gate keys PROSE_ALLOWLIST on
{file, line}; the Blocker 1 wiring added 18 lines above the allowlisted
parenthetical in agents/gsd-roadmapper.md, moving it 624 -> 642. Both halves of
the gate then fired: the moved line reads as a new offender, and the stale
entry no longer matches anything.

Line content at 642 is byte-identical to what the entry describes — a
descriptive "e.g." naming SDK queries a user could run — so this is a
renumber, not a re-classification.

Swept the defect class rather than the instance: agents/gsd-roadmapper.md is
the only line-pinned reference to any file this round changed.

Negative-controlled: both assertions fail against the un-renumbered allowlist.

cc3ee301a7 fix(#2544): stage the CommonJS marker in GSD-owned dirs, not the config root (#2593)
* fix(#2544): stage the CommonJS marker in GSD-owned dirs, not the config root

installSharedHooksBundle wrote `{"type":"commonjs"}` over
<configRoot>/package.json unconditionally — no existence check, no merge,
no backup — on every install and every /gsd-update re-install. On the 11
affected runtimes that file is often user-owned; on OpenCode and Kilo it is
the documented place to declare local-plugin npm dependencies, so a user's
name/type/dependencies/scripts were destroyed on each run.

The uninstall path already read the file and unlinked it only on an exact
content match. That asymmetry was the defect: the discipline existed in the
codebase, it just was not applied on the write side.

Move the marker into the directories GSD creates and fills with its own .js
files — hooks/ (all shared-hooks runtimes, incl. Kimi's own root) and the
nativePlugin dir (plugins/ for OpenCode+Kilo, extensions/ for pi) — and stop
writing the config root entirely. New src/commonjs-marker.cts owns the marker
string plus one ownership predicate (absent / gsd-owned / foreign, fail-closed
on an unreadable file) shared by ensureCommonJsMarker and removeCommonJsMarker,
so install and uninstall cannot drift apart again.

Nothing else depended on the config-root marker: package identity is baked at
build time (#378/#498) and version resolution prefers gsd-core/VERSION and
already tolerates a missing root package.json (#1383) — Codex has installed
without one all along. A package.json in plugins/ or extensions/ is inert to
plugin discovery, which globs *.{ts,js} only (see installer-migration 006).

Uninstall retires the pre-fix config-root marker, so upgrading users are
cleaned up on removal, and still never touches a file it did not write.

* fix(#2544): point the changeset fragment at the filed PR

The fragment's `pr:` field is only knowable after `gh pr create` returns.

* fix(#2544): register commonjs-marker.cjs in the tsc-generated ESLint ignore set

bin/lib/commonjs-marker.cjs is tsc output (src/commonjs-marker.cts is the
linted source), so it belongs in the ADR-457 ignore list like its siblings.
Clears the lint-tests no-var failure and the repo-invariants
"linted xor ignored" migration-state test.

* fix(#2544): pin the kimi CommonJS marker to hooks/, not the ~/.kimi root

The UPGRADE 1 test still asserted the pre-#2544 marker location
(~/.kimi/package.json). The marker now lives inside ~/.kimi/hooks — the
directory GSD itself creates — matching the updated golden-install-parity
and install-tree fixtures. Also asserts the root marker is NOT written.

* fix(#2544): make the CommonJS marker write path non-fatal

Review round 2, Major 3 + Minor 1 + the stagedHooks nit.

ensureCommonJsMarker rethrew any non-EEXIST write error and neither call site
caught it, so EACCES on a read-only hooks/, EROFS, or ENOSPC aborted the whole
install with a raw stack trace. Every other marker interaction in the module is
best-effort — removeCommonJsMarker swallows unlink failures, classifyMarker
swallows read failures — and this was the write path, i.e. the one most likely
to fail on a locked-down config dir. It now returns a new 'failed' outcome and
both call sites warn and continue.

Sibling found while sweeping for the same defect class: fs.mkdirSync sat
OUTSIDE the try block, so an unwritable parent threw past the guard entirely.
Creating the directory is the same environmental hazard as writing into it, so
it moved inside.

Also in this file:

- The hooks marker is now gated on `stagedHooks && hooksOk`, not stagedHooks
  alone. stagedHooks is computed from the SOURCE listing before the copy loop,
  so it stays true when the copies land but verifyInstalled() then fails —
  marking a hooks/ GSD did not successfully populate claims an ownership the
  install did not earn.
- The uninstall rmdir of the native plugin dir is gated on GSD having actually
  removed something from it. Hoisting it out of the adapter-exists guard (so
  the marker-only case could prune) had silently widened it into deleting a
  user-created but empty plugins/ or extensions/ dir — the same "don't touch
  territory GSD didn't fill" principle this issue is about, inverted.
- Kimi's pre-#2544 marker at its native hook root (~/.kimi) is retired at the
  same call site that writes its replacement. That path is outside kimi's
  configDir, so installer-migration 007 structurally cannot reach it.

* fix(#2544): retire the stale config-root marker via installer-migration 007

Review round 2, Major 1 — the PR's headline claim was false for existing
installs. Upgraders kept BOTH markers: the new one under hooks/ and the stale
{"type":"commonjs"} at the config root, so their config root stayed pinned to
CommonJS and their dependency manifest stayed gone until they uninstalled.

The migration is unusual in one way, and it is the part worth reviewing: the
config-root marker was never recorded in gsd-file-manifest.json (writeManifest
records hooks/, agents/, commands/, scripts/ and the native plugin, never a root
package.json), so classifyArtifact answers 'unknown' for it and the planner's
own guard downgrades a remove-managed on an 'unknown' classification to
preserve-user. 007 therefore supplies the "purpose-built detector for an old
GSD-owned shape" that docs/installer-migrations.md#remove-managed sanctions —
exact content match, the same predicate removeCommonJsMarker has always used —
and declares the resulting classification on the action. A package.json with any
other content is left untouched, and there is deliberately no backup-and-remove
branch: a non-matching file here is not a patched GSD artifact, it is somebody
else's file.

Scope is all runtimes. The `runtimes` field is OMITTED rather than `[]`:
validateStringArray requires the field to be non-empty WHEN PRESENT, while the
runtime filter treats an empty array as "all" — so `runtimes: []` throws at plan
time and the migration never runs. The metadata test pins this.

Kimi is a deliberate carve-out, named in the migration's own header: its marker
lived at ~/.kimi, outside kimi's configDir, and migration relPaths are
structurally confined to configDir. It is retired by the installer instead.

Registration: shipped-migrations table, .gitignore for the emitted .cjs, the
EXPECTED_CHECKSUMS baseline, and the ESLint ignore set. That last one is not
copied from migration 006 by rote — 006 needs no entry because it imports
nothing, while 007 imports node builtins, so tsc emits its __importDefault
helper and the `var` in it trips no-var. This is the same lint gate that made
round 1 red.

* test(#2544): fault-injection and multi-runtime marker coverage

Review round 2, Major 2 + Minors 4 and 5.

Major 2 — CONTRIBUTING.md:514-531 is mandatory for install/uninstall flows and
the suite had no fs monkeypatching at all. Every branch now covered is one whose
doc comment claims it as the module's safety posture:

- classifyMarker non-ENOENT lstat error -> 'foreign' (the fail-closed rule),
  with an ENOENT control alongside it so the test discriminates rather than
  just asserting one side
- classifyMarker readFileSync throw -> 'foreign' (present-but-unreadable never
  downgrades to the permissive answer) — the fixture's bytes are exactly GSD's
  marker, so the test fails if the code ever answers on content it could not read
- a DIRECTORY at the marker path (CONTRIBUTING:521; the symlink case was already
  covered with a real symlink, the directory case needs no injection at all)
- the ensureCommonJsMarker TOCTOU EEXIST branch — the entire reason for flag:'wx'
- the new 'failed' outcome, for both writeFileSync (EACCES/EROFS/ENOSPC) and the
  mkdirSync that used to sit outside the guard
- removeCommonJsMarker unlink throw -> false

These save and restore fs methods in `finally` rather than using chmod 0o000,
which does not fault under root and would pass vacuously in root Docker and CI.

Minor 4 — uninstall was driven for opencode only. pi's extensions/ and both
kimi locations now have behavioral coverage, install and uninstall, each paired
with a user-authored-file case proving GSD leaves it alone.

Minor 5 — the stagedHooks gate had no assertion behind its stated reason.
A pre-existing, GSD-untouched hooks/ directory is now driven through a runtime
that declares skipSharedHooksInstall and asserted to stay marker-free, with its
user content intact.

Also regression-tests the uninstall rmdir gate from the previous commit: an
empty plugin dir GSD removed nothing from must survive.

* docs(#2544): correct stale marker prose, register the module, document the trade-off

Review round 2, Minors 2, 3 and 6.

Minor 2 — six files asserted the installed ROOT ships the synthetic marker.
None was load-bearing (all three walk-up consumers are VERSION-first with
try/catch and the marker never carried a `version`), but ADR-457:52 is the
rationale for keeping a generated module, so a future reader would mis-derive
the constraint from it. Each site is corrected to what is now true: the
installed tree carries no package.json with a .name at all, because the only
ones GSD stages are {"type":"commonjs"} markers and they now live in GSD's own
directories.

Two of the six needed more than a location swap. hooks/gsd-check-update-worker.js
and the platform-gate test both described `require('../package.json').name`
resolving to undefined; post-#2544 that require does not resolve at all, so the
history is kept accurate and the present-tense claim corrected rather than just
moved. And src/runtime-artifact-conversion.cts described the no-root-package.json
case as Codex-only — it is now every runtime, which strengthens that comment's
own argument for lazy resolution. The generated .cjs sibling needs no edit: it
is gitignored build output, not a tracked file.

Minor 3 — src/commonjs-marker.cts had no CONTEXT.md entry, unlike every peer
module, and CONTEXT.md is the #2 co-change partner of bin/install.js. Added,
including the fail-closed posture and the never-throws contract.

Minor 6 — the plugins//extensions/ marker shadows the config root for all .js
siblings, so an OpenCode/Kilo user's ESM plugin/*.js stays broken. That is
exactly what #2544's Fix section prescribed and it is disclosed in the PR body,
but the PR body is not documentation. It now lives in the OpenCode section of
docs/how-to/install-on-your-runtime.md, stated as a real constraint rather than
a pure improvement, with the .ts mitigation and a fallback for ESM plugins.

* test(#2544): attribute the CommonJS marker in the emitted-provenance rules

The differential emitted-attribution gate (#2723, landed on `next` after this
branch was cut) went red on the macOS shards once this PR rebased onto it. Two
distinct causes, both real gaps rather than noise:

1. `plugins/package.json` and `extensions/package.json` matched NO rule — the
   `native-plugin` rule covers `*.{js,cjs,mjs}` only, so the marker read as an
   unattributed emitted family.
2. `hooks/package.json` fell through to `hooks-built`, which attributes an
   emitted `hooks/<X>` to a repo source `hooks/<X>`. There is no
   `hooks/package.json` in the repo, so it resolved to a nonexistent path.

Cause 2 is exactly the failure already documented three lines above it for
Copilot's `gsd-session.json` — "a code literal, not a built script" — so the fix
follows that precedent rather than inventing one: `package.json` is excluded
from `hooks-built` the same way, and a dedicated `commonjs-marker` rule
attributes the family across all four roots it can appear in (both hooks roots
plus `plugins`/`extensions`) to the sources that actually emit it.

Deliberately a RULE, not an entry in tests/emitted-drift-ack.json. An ack is for
a one-off ripple and goes stale by design — the gate fails a stale ack precisely
so it cannot pre-clear the next change on that path. These markers are a
permanent part of the emitted tree from #2544 onward, so they need standing
attribution.

Verified by reproducing the CI failure locally with GSD_EMITTED_BASE: 3
provenance errors + 12 unattributed paths before, 35/35 green after.

* fix(#2544): route the #2717 hooks-surface marker helpers through commonjs-marker

#2717 landed a second copy of ensureCommonJsMarker/removeCommonJsMarkerIfGsdOwned
in src/runtime-hooks-surface.cts for the runtimes that stage .js hooks via
dedicated paths (cursor/windsurf/codex). That copy had drifted from this PR's
module on the two properties that matter:

  - ownership probe: `fs.existsSync` FOLLOWS symlinks and reports false for a
    DANGLING one, so a dangling package.json symlink classified as absent and
    the write went straight through it. Demonstrated: against the pre-fix copy,
    ensureCommonJsMarker() on a hooks/ dir holding a dangling package.json
    symlink returns true and creates {"type":"commonjs"} OUTSIDE that directory.
  - create: a plain writeFileSync leaves the classify->write window open, where
    commonjs-marker creates with flag:'wx' (O_EXCL).

Both helpers now delegate to src/commonjs-marker.cts, which is what this PR's
own docstring already claimed was the single place these rules are enforced.
Exported signatures are unchanged (still boolean), so bin/install.js and the
#2717 tests are unaffected.

The new subtest is the only coverage that fails if the duplicate is ever
reintroduced — the two implementations agree on every non-adversarial input, so
the existing suites pass against both.

* test(#2544): pin the stagedHooks gate on zcode, not windsurf

The Minor-5 coverage picked windsurf because hostBehaviors.skipSharedHooksInstall
kept it out of the shared hooks bundle, so GSD staged nothing into hooks/ and the
marker was correctly absent.

#2717 changed that premise: cursor/windsurf/codex now stage their .js hooks via
dedicated paths and get the marker beside those scripts. Measured on this tree,
windsurf stages 2 .js hooks and receives a marker — so the assertion was pinning
behaviour that is now wrong, not the gate it was written for.

ZCode is the durable choice: per #1821 it has hooksSurface:'none' AND no plugin
surface to spawn hooks, so GSD stages no .js there by either route (measured: 0
staged, no marker). The property under test is unchanged — a user-created hooks/
directory GSD never fills stays marker-free.

* test(#2544): use the shared cleanup helper in the migration test

Addresses the review's Major 1. The suppression's stated reason — "no helpers
import available" — was not correct: tests/helpers.cjs exports cleanup, and the
other test file added in this same PR imports it (tests/commonjs-marker.test.cjs).

The local reimplementation dropped two protections that are live on this repo's
windows-latest lane: the CWD guard (Windows cannot remove a directory that is the
current working directory) and the 20 x 250ms retry budget that absorbs the
deferred-scan handle Windows Defender holds on newly-written files.

Local function and suppression both removed; local/no-raw-rmsync-in-tests now
passes without one.

* test(#2544): expect hooks/package.json for the #2717 runtimes

The fresh-install contract table predates #2717, which stages cursor/windsurf/
codex .js hooks via dedicated paths and writes the CommonJS marker beside them.
All three therefore now receive hooks/package.json legitimately.

Measured on this tree: codex stages 3 .js hooks, cursor 6, windsurf 2 — each with
the marker; cline/copilot/trae/zcode stage none and get none, so their contracts
are unchanged.

* fix(#2544): gate the #2717 marker writes on having staged something

The three dedicated marker writers #2717 added ran unconditionally. Each one
mkdirs hooks/ up front and stages its scripts conditionally on the source
existing, so with an absent or empty hook source they created a directory,
filled it with nothing, and marked it as GSD's anyway.

That is the same write-into-someone-else's-territory this issue is about, and
installSharedHooksBundle already guards the identical case with `stagedHooks`.
The dedicated paths now carry the matching gate:

  - cursor / windsurf: `installedScripts.size > 0`
  - codex: a new `codexStagedHooks` flag. The enclosing guard only proves that
    hooks/dist EXISTS; it says nothing about whether any CODEX_HOOKS_TO_COPY
    entry landed.

Covered for cursor and windsurf by driving each writer against a src tree whose
hooks/ dir is empty. The codex leg is defensive and deliberately uncovered: its
trigger state needs a package tree where hooks/dist exists but holds none of the
allowlist, which is not constructible from a real checkout.

* test(#2544): scope the commonjs-marker sources per root

The rule declared one flat source list for every marker root, so
`extensions/package.json` was attributed to runtime-hooks-surface.cts (which
never writes there) and `.kimi/hooks/package.json` to install-engine.cts.

That is not merely untidy. emitted-diff.cjs accepts the FIRST satisfied source,
so a flat list containing bin/install.js let any change anywhere in that
13k-line file authorise marker drift for every root — the blanket escape hatch
this file's own agents-verbatim comment refuses for exactly the same reason.

Sources are now derived per root from ctx.rel. Note the rule ctx is
`{ rel, runtime }` and carries no `root`, so keying on ctx.root would have sent
every path down one branch silently.

* test(#2544): state precisely what the zcode assertion pins

The comment claimed the test pinned installSharedHooksBundle's `stagedHooks`
gate. It does not, and neither did the windsurf version it replaced: zcode
declares skipSharedHooksInstall, so the outer guard skips that helper entirely
and the gate is never evaluated. The test passes on the runtime exclusion.

What it does pin — the outcome a pre-existing, GSD-untouched hooks/ stays
marker-free — is still worth having, and is what the review asked for. The two
`staging zero hook scripts` tests are the ones that pin a real staged-nothing
gate. Comment corrected rather than left implying coverage that is not there.

33fd203ccd test(#2966): loop QA walk — drive real scenarios across all five loop steps (#2976)
* test(#2966): loop QA walk — drive real scenarios across all five loop steps

Adds a headless walk that carries accumulating project state across
discuss -> plan -> execute -> verify -> ship against one temp project,
layered over the existing tests/helpers.cjs runGsdTools substrate.

Findings carry severity. A violation breaks a stated contract and fails
the build; a smell is legal under today's implementation but structurally
questionable, is recorded, and never reddens CI. Without that split an
oracle set derived from current behavior can only ever confirm current
behavior -- the harness could not say "this works and is still wrong".

The end-to-end test asserts the walk produces at least one smell: a QA
harness that reports nothing on a first run against a real engine is far
more likely mis-specified than the engine is perfect. It deliberately does
not pin smell ids or counts, which would re-freeze current behavior.

First run against the real engine: 0 violations, 3 smell classes --
init returns agents_dir outside the project tree; smart-entry emits prose
unconditionally so routing cannot be asserted; state-snapshot reports a
missing STATE.md through a payload key with exit 0.

Also fixes tests/fixtures/index.cjs: createFixture with git:true and
planning:false staged nothing, so the commit failed with "nothing to
commit". That combination was unreachable until greenfield needed it.

Extends RULESET.TESTS.feedback-loop-convergence from estimation to the
loop itself. Design lock: docs/adr/2966-loop-qa-walk.md.

* test(#2966): wire fault injection, make perturbations discriminating

Independent review found tests/qa/mutations.cjs entirely unwired: 462
lines exercised only by their own unit tests, with no mutation hook in
the scenario DSL and no scenario applying one, while the module header
and the ADR described fault injection in the present tense. Dead code
documented as live.

Adds a `mutate` step field, three perturbation scenarios, and a wiring
detector: a self-test scenario whose expectations are known-false and
which MUST fail. The previous anti-vacuity check asserted only that the
walk produced a smell, which passes on well-known engine behavior
regardless of whether the harness wiring works.

First perturbation attempt produced zero signal -- progress does not
structurally parse ROADMAP.md, so a corrupted roadmap sailed through. A
perturbation that cannot fail is the same defect in a new costume.
Probes now target roadmap get-phase, and each mutated step runs a clean
baseline first so `mutationObserved` records whether the corruption
changed anything at all.

Also clears four review findings: classify() returned PROSE for exit-0
with empty stdout; `warnings` was structurally unpopulatable on the
success path (execFileSync discards it) and is now documented as
error-path-only; read-only-idempotence passed vacuously when asked to
check idempotence without the data to check it; the ADR miscounted the
oracles.

Discrimination matrix across 8 mutations x 6 commands: bom,
duplicate-phase-id and escaped-pipes are absorbed silently by every
probed surface, and progress / smart-entry / roadmap validate never
reacted to any mutation.

* test(#2966): add path-containment guard for scenario-supplied targets

Security review found scenario-supplied paths joined to the temp project
with no containment check. step.mutate.target and agent.write keys were
validated only as non-empty strings, so a target of ../../../../etc/hosts
reached fs.unlinkSync / fs.writeFileSync / fs.symlinkSync outside the
project. The symlink mutation was worst: it read the traversed file, wrote
a sibling copy, deleted the original and symlinked it back.

Not exploitable today -- all shipped scenarios target .planning/ROADMAP.md
and scenarios are repo-committed, not runtime input. Fixed anyway: it is a
live primitive any future scenario or copied helper can reach.

Adds tests/qa/paths.cjs with resolveWithin(): rejects absolute paths, NUL
bytes and empty input, normalizes separators unconditionally, and requires
containment by path segment so a sibling like <base>-evil is not treated as
inside. Non-existent targets resolve via nearest existing ancestor rather
than falling back to a lexical compare. Scenario load now rejects traversing
or absolute targets up front.

oracles.cjs previously carried its own copy of the containment logic; both
now share paths.cjs, since a duplicated containment check is exactly the
divergence class this repo calls out.

* test(#2966): complete trajectory corpus, report emission, boundary-aware oracle

Adds the remaining trajectories and drives all 11 mutations end-to-end.
20 scenarios, 72 steps, 0 violations, 25 smells.

Adds qa-report.json with per-step verdicts and a copy-pasteable repro
command, plus --keep / GSD_QA_KEEP=1 to preserve a failing tree. A repro
line for a tree that was not preserved is marked NOT RUNNABLE rather than
emitting a command pointing at a deleted directory.

monotonic-progress is now boundary-aware. Two scenarios had been trimmed
to stop the oracle complaining at a milestone rollover, which destroys the
signal the trajectory exists to produce. Evidence: counters legitimately
reset to zero at milestone complete, but the payload milestone_version
lags until a new ROADMAP.md is written. So the oracle now scopes by
milestone plus workstream, keeps a same-scope decrease as a violation, and
records a boundary crossing as a smell. Both scenarios walk the real
boundary again.

Standards review fixes: oracle findings now carry a structured subject so
tests assert on typed fields instead of substring-matching the free-form
detail string, resolveWithin throws a typed EPATHESCAPE error, and the
absolute-path predicate scenario.cjs had re-implemented now comes from
paths.cjs.

* test(#2966): fix silently-vacuous fixtures and guard the class

Every fixture carried its #2371 provenance comment BEFORE the frontmatter
block, and extractFrontmatter returns {} when anything precedes the opening
---. So every scenario reading status/phase/name was operating on an empty
object and reporting green. Nine fixtures repositioned; the comment stays,
it just moves below the closing ---.

Both UAT fixtures lacked a parser-recognized result block, so
evaluateUatPassed saw checks.length===0 and could never return passed:true.
The uat-fail-then-remediate scenario could not have proven a remediation.
Its expect block only inspected blockers, which is empty before AND after,
which is why the corpus never noticed. Both fixtures now carry real result
blocks and the scenario asserts passed and no_uat_artifacts on each side of
the flip.

The actual deliverable is the guard: a fixture-integrity block asserting
every fixture with a frontmatter shape parses to a non-empty object, that
every fixture carries its provenance marker, and that the two UAT fixtures
produce opposite verdicts through the real evaluateUatPassed. The first
guard written required --- at byte 0, which would never have fired on the
regression it exists to prevent; it was rewritten and proven by deliberately
re-breaking a fixture.

No engine defect here. no_uat_artifacts means no parsed check items, not no
UAT files, and it was reporting correctly on fixtures that had none.

* test(#2966): make the walk report — smell ratchet, baseline, CI job

The harness computed smells into a gitignored qa-report.json that nothing
read. In CI it surfaced nothing at all: violations failed the build, but the
half of the tool that says "this works and is still wrong" was inert. A QA
tool nobody hears is decoration.

Adds a ratchet on the same idiom this repo already uses three times over
(the regression-test-name allowlist, the emitted-drift acks, the size
baseline): a committed smell-baseline.json, per-PR acknowledgment fragments
under tests/qa/smell-acks/, and a ratchet script wired into CI.

The design invariant is preserved exactly. A smell still never fails a build
on its own merits. What fails is an UNACKNOWLEDGED NEW smell -- the absence
of a decision -- leaving an author two honest exits: fix it, or record a
fragment with a real reason. An empty reason is rejected. The baseline is
shrink-only, so a fixed smell must prune its entry. Violations remain
unacknowledgeable.

Fingerprints are composed only from stable fields (oracle id, scenario,
argv, subject discriminator) -- never temp paths, timestamps or counts.
Verified byte-identical across two runs in separate temp dirs; an unstable
fingerprint would have false-positived every CI run.

CI gains a qa-loop-walk job that runs the suite and the ratchet, uploads the
report with `if: always()` (it matters most when it failed), and renders a
summary a reviewer reads without downloading anything.

Also fixes the report runner invoking main() unconditionally on require, so
importing it double-ran every scenario and clobbered its own output.

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

* test(#2966): every smell terminates in a defect or a fixed detector

The baseline accepted a smell with a free-text reason. That is a mechanism
for designing smells in -- an allowlist nobody revisits. The harness is
brand new, so nothing it found is inherited legacy; every finding is a
FIRST finding. Each must now terminate in exactly one of two states:

  REAL           -> an assigned defect, entry carries the issue number
  FALSE POSITIVE -> the detector is wrong and gets fixed, never baselined

There is no third "accepted with a good explanation" state, so the ratchet
now requires a positive-integer `issue` on every entry. A reason may remain
as a human note but can never substitute. `--update` refuses to invent
issue numbers: a new smell is written with `issue: null` and a TODO, and
the next plain run rejects it, forcing triage rather than accumulation.

Working the 21 existing entries through that rule found 16 were my own
detectors being wrong:

value-hygiene (10) flagged $.agents_dir, a field whose entire contract is
to point at the install tree outside any project. Fixed with a leaf-key
allowlist of contractually-external fields, verified as the only such key
in the init payload. Genuinely unexpected out-of-project paths still smell.

monotonic-progress (6) fired on legitimate boundary crossings -- milestone
v1.0 to v2.0, workstream beta to alpha -- and on one payload carrying no
scope fields at all, where a change cannot even be known. Scope changes now
reset silently and scope-less observations are skipped. The same-scope
decrease remains a violation; that is the real invariant and is regression-
guarded.

The five survivors are real and now tracked: soft-error-exit-zero (#2980),
untyped-success (#2979). Baseline 25 -> 5.

* test(#2966): keep the ratchet out of the tarball, unpin the qa CI job

The remote matrix returned failed -- 3 unique failures, identical on
node22 and node24, both root causes in this branch's own diff.

The ratchet lives under scripts/, which ships in the npm tarball, and it
requires three modules under tests/, which does not. In a published
install it is MODULE_NOT_FOUND at load. This is exactly the class the
#2858 guard was added to catch, and it caught it. Fixed the way #2858
fixed the same shape for its own repo-only CI script: a targeted files[]
negation, so the ratchet stays in the repo for CI and out of the tarball.
Not solved by moving or inlining the required modules -- the ratchet must
keep using the same code the harness uses, or the two drift.

Verified both directions: the script is no longer in the pack list, and
build-hooks.js, fix-slash-commands.cjs and gen-capability-registry.cjs are
all still shipped. Over-negating there would have broken installs, since
bin/install.js requires them.

The qa-loop-walk job also carried CI_REBASE_BASE_SHA copied from a
neighbouring job without the paired GSD_EMITTED_BASE, which the #2854
invariant forbids by name: diverging them makes the differential compare a
tree against a baseline from a different commit. The job runs only the qa
suite and the ratchet and invokes no emitted-attribution test, so it needs
no rebase-pinned base at all -- the step was removed rather than paired.

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

* test(#2966): stop monotonic-progress going blind on scope-less payloads

The full remote suite caught a false NEGATIVE I introduced while fixing a
false positive. Silencing the boundary-crossing noise had made the oracle
skip ANY observation lacking milestone fields -- so a minimal payload like
{total_summaries: n} produced no violation at all, and the oracle stopped
catching the exact defect it exists to catch. For a QA tool that is
strictly worse than the noise it replaced.

Scope is only indeterminate when the two observations DISAGREE about
having it:

  both scoped, same scope, decrease -> VIOLATION
  both scoped, different scope      -> reset silently
  NEITHER scoped, decrease          -> VIOLATION   (the regression)
  mixed                             -> skip the comparison

Implementing the mixed case surfaced a second blind spot: advancing the
reference point on a skipped pair lets a scope-less observation sitting
between two same-scope ones mask a real decrease. Mixed now leaves the
reference untouched. All four branches carry explicit coverage; only one
did before, which is why this shipped.

The self-test that failed was right and the code was wrong, so the code
moved. Corpus behavior is unchanged: still 5 smells, 0 new, 0 stale, 0
violations.

9ac0dfad58 chore(#2929): generalize prompt-budget into the shared context-composer seam (#2958)
* test(#2929): capture prompt-budget parity corpus pre-refactor

Phase 2 of epic #1671 generalizes prompt-budget's trim ladder into a shared
context-composer seam. Its success condition is that review-prompt output does
not change, and the only authority on "did not change" is the behavior that
shipped before the refactor. Capture that behavior now, while it is still the
live implementation.

47 characterization cases, every `expected` value computed by executing the
current implementation rather than hand-authored — the independence
CONTRIBUTING.md "Fixture provenance (#2371)" asks for.

A corpus is only worth what it can detect, so this one was validated by
mutation rather than assumed. Five deliberate defects were injected and each
must be caught by at least one case:

  - the note reserve deducted unconditionally instead of only under pressure
  - the pressure test relaxed from `>` to `>=`
  - a no-op head-shrink still setting the shrunk flag
  - the per-plan floor dropped from the proportional share
  - drop order reversed

Two of those exposed real holes in the first cut of this corpus, and the cases
that close them exist because of it:

  - `>=` was caught by NOTHING. At exact cap the only trimmable fragment was a
    floored plan group, and the 1024-char floor absorbed the entire trim, so the
    mutation was byte-invisible. A3b/A3c put a droppable at exactly the cap,
    which makes the strict inequality observable as context kept vs omitted.

  - No case reached proportional-truncate at all — B6 and B7 both hard-failed
    the min-set pre-check first, leaving planTruncationPct at 0 across every
    case and the floor semantics entirely unexercised. Rebudgeted to 700 and
    1100 so the min-set fits and the truncate step is actually reached; they now
    record 40.20% and 48.80%.

The A4/A10 families sweep the pressure boundary from both sides, which is where
this function has regressed before: CONTEXT.md's
LEARNING.prompt-budget.boundary-gap records PR #3708 shipping two regressions
that only fired when the baseline sat inside the NOTE_RESERVE_TOKENS band,
because the suite paired a trivially-fitting budget with a trivially-overflowing
one and never sampled between them. A4 pins that nothing is trimmed from the cap
down to 81 tokens under it; A10 pins that pressure fires at +1. Together with
A3b/A3c they satisfy row (d) of RULESET.TESTS.boundary-coverage.fixtures.

Two facts the corpus establishes that the design notes had wrong:

  - "" and null sections are NOT distinguished. applyBudget uses truthy checks
    throughout, so an empty-string section is treated as absent: not rendered,
    not dropped, never recorded in `omitted`. B13b pins this while the ladder is
    actively trimming, where only the non-empty `research` is dropped.

  - Sizing matters. B12/B13 were first written at a budget where both hard-failed
    the min-set check and returned "", so comparing them compared two empty
    strings and proved nothing.

Committed as its own commit, ahead of the refactor, and regenerated against the
pre-refactor implementation, so the oracle is demonstrably independent of the
change it will adjudicate.

Refs #2929

* refactor(#2929): extract the context-composer seam from prompt-budget

Epic #1671 needs prompt-budget's budget-trimming logic for a second consumer —
per-runtime artifact emission — but it is walled inside the cross-AI review
pipeline. Lift it into a shared seam so later phases can call it, without
changing what the review pipeline emits.

ADR-1671 specifies the composer as "priority + binary-search cutoff to a
per-runtime budget". Read against the code it generalizes, that contract cannot
express the thing being generalized. applyBudget is not a cutoff: it is a fixed
five-step ladder in which each section carries its own shrink strategy, and only
three of its eight sections are ever dropped. PROJECT.md is head-shrunk to N
lines; plans are proportionally tail-truncated with a per-plan 1024-byte floor;
instructions and roadmap are never touched at all. A cutoff composer sorts by
priority and discards the tail — it has no way to say "shrink this one",
"truncate that one but never below 1 KB each", or "these three are the only
droppables, in this order". Building to the literal contract and routing
prompt-budget through it would have silently changed review-prompt output, which
is the one outcome this phase forbids.

So shrink strategies are the core abstraction here, and cutoff becomes one
strategy among them — the right one for per-runtime emission in Phases 3-4, not
for this ladder. That is an elaboration of the ADR's intent, not a departure
from it, and ADR-1671 is updated to say so.

Three decisions worth stating:

  - The composer DECIDES; the caller RENDERS. composeWithinBudget returns a plan
    of surviving fragments and never a string. assemblePrompt's rendering is
    prompt-shaped (`## Roadmap`, `### <file>`, the note in position two), and
    owning it in the composer would force emission to adopt prompt-shaped
    rendering. The split is what lets one seam serve both consumers.

  - The budget unit is INJECTED via `measure(text)`. prompt-budget passes its
    chars/4 estimator; emission will pass a byte counter, which ADR-1671 requires
    for emission caps. The existing code converts a token budget to a character
    budget with a hardcoded `* 4`; that assumption is now an explicit
    `charsPerUnit` inverse, which is precisely what a byte unit needs in order to
    reuse this.

  - The entry point is `composeWithinBudget`, not `applyBudget`. That name
    already exists twice — src/prompt-budget.cts and src/graphify.cts, the latter
    being an unrelated graph-edge budget. A third would make every symbol search
    in this repo ambiguous, and it already misresolves: preflight and impact
    queries for "applyBudget" return graphify's.

Behavior is unchanged and proven so: all 47 characterization cases reproduce
byte-identically, and the corpus is mutation-validated rather than merely green
(see the preceding commit). prompt-budget.cts drops from 436 to 343 lines and
from eighteen mutable accumulators to two, both inside a helper copied verbatim.

estimateTokens deliberately stays in prompt-budget and keeps its exact math:
src/phase-estimation.cts re-exports it as measureTokens, and CONTEXT.md pins
plan estimates and recorded actuals to that same scale, so moving or changing it
would silently break the calibration loop.

* docs(#2929): document the context-composer seam and amend ADR-1671

Adds the INVENTORY row, the CONTEXT.md glossary entry (a PR gate for new
domain modules), and a mutation-matrix entry for the new module.

The ADR amendment is the substantive part. ADR-1671 specified the composer as
"priority + binary-search cutoff to a per-runtime budget". Implementing Phase 2
established that a cutoff alone cannot express the function the platform
generalizes, so the ADR now records shrink strategies as the core abstraction
with cutoff as one strategy among them, reserved for per-runtime emission in
Phases 3-4. Recording it in the ADR matters because Phases 3-6 are planned
against that contract and would otherwise be planned against a mechanism that
does not work.

The mutation-matrix entry is not bookkeeping. Stryker scores per module against
a named .cjs, so relocating the ladder out of prompt-budget.cjs would leave the
extracted code unmeasured while prompt-budget's own score floated free of the
logic it used to cover. context-composer gets its own entry at the same floor.

* test(#2929): pin the effectiveBudget rounding mode in the parity corpus

An isolated correctness review found a real blind spot: mutating
`Math.floor` to `Math.round` in the effectiveBudget calculation failed ZERO of
the 47 corpus cases. Every (budget, safetyMarginPct) pair in the generator
happened to produce a whole number, so floor, round and ceil all agreed and the
rounding mode was entirely unpinned by a corpus whose whole job is to pin
observable behavior.

Three cases fix that by straddling the .5 boundary:

  A11  95 * 0.90  = 85.5   floor 85, round 86  -> the two disagree
  A12  97 * 0.90  = 87.3   floor and round agree; ceil (88) does not
  A13  93 * 0.85  = 79.05  same guard at a non-multiple-of-10 margin, so the
                           margin arithmetic is exercised and not just the budget

A11 alone catches the round mutation; all three catch ceil. Regenerated against
the pre-refactor implementation (`git show 9557f8552:src/prompt-budget.cts`), so
the expanded corpus keeps the independence property the original capture had.

The corpus is now mutation-validated against seven injected defects, every one
caught: unconditional note reserve, `>` relaxed to `>=`, no-op head-shrink
setting its flag, the truncate floor ignored, drop order reversed, and both
rounding-mode changes.

Refs #2929

* feat(#2929): flexReserve floors and the byte-stable isolate prefix

Two of issue #2929's "Done when" items were unimplemented rather than deferred,
and an isolated review flagged them alongside my own audit. Both are part of
ADR-1671's composer contract, so shipping the seam without them would have left
Phases 3-4 building against a contract that does not exist yet.

flexReserve is a per-fragment floor in measure units that every strategy must
respect, which is what makes it different from the pre-existing floorChars: that
one is a chars-denominated detail of proportional-truncate alone and is retained
unchanged. A floored fragment is never dropped, is never head-shrunk below its
floor, and raises its own proportional cap. A fragment already smaller than its
floor is untouchable outright. Metadata gains `floored`, listing the ids whose
floor actually prevented a trim — a guarantee no caller can observe is a
guarantee no test can hold you to.

isolate marks the byte-stable canonical prefix the ADR calls for: never trimmed,
never dropped, but still counted, because a prefix excluded from accounting
would silently under-count real context. Metadata gains `isolatePrefix` so a
caller can hash or assert on the exact bytes. Declaring an isolate fragment
after a non-isolate one throws: a prefix that is not at the front is not a
prefix, and accepting it would make the cross-runtime stability claim
meaningless.

Adds tests/context-composer.test.cjs for the exact new semantics and
tests/context-composer.property.test.cjs for the five invariants, including the
budget-monotonicity property the issue names explicitly. Both are registered in
the mutation matrix, since coverage does not migrate with relocated code.

prompt-budget uses neither feature, and its output is unchanged: all 50 corpus
cases still reproduce byte-identically.

Refs #2929

* chore(#2929): allowlist the prompt-budget parity suite

The parity corpus needs its own test file and that makes prompt-budget a
three-file module against a limit of two. The lint offers consolidation or an
allowlist entry with justification; the entry is the right call here.

Consolidation would mean folding the characterization suite into
prompt-budget.test.cjs, which is the one thing that should not happen to it. The
parity suite is a distinct concern with a distinct lifecycle: it is generated
rather than hand-written, it is named by scripts/mutation-matrix.cjs as its own
scoring target, and its failure means something categorically different from a
unit-test failure — not "this behavior is wrong" but "observable output moved".
Burying it inside a general unit file would obscure exactly that signal.

The allowlist is an identity ratchet, so this entry pins today's three exact
filenames: adding a fourth still fails, and dropping back to two requires
removing the entry.

Refs #2929

* fix(#2929): register the new module with two gates it was missing

The remote matrix caught three defects that no local check could, because the
local runner is blocked in this repo and these suites had therefore never
executed. Eight failures, identical on node22 and node24, so nothing
environment-shaped.

Two are the new-module ripple. A net-new src/*.cts lands in six places and this
change had reached four of them — .gitignore, INVENTORY, the manifest, and the
CONTEXT.md glossary — while missing the ESLint ignore list (tsc OUTPUTS must not
be linted; repo-invariants asserts linted-xor-ignored) and the mutation ratchet
baseline (a deliberate review-visible mirror of the matrix floors, which every
COVERED module must carry). Both are now registered, the ratchet at the same
floor of 66 the matrix declares.

The third was a test asserting an outcome it had made impossible. It set
budget:1 alongside a 400-char required fragment, so the group budget came out at
-99 and the proportional-truncate step was skipped entirely — the deliberate
"non-positive group budget is skipped, never clamped" rule inherited from the
original ladder. Nothing was trimmed, and the test then asserted a truncation.
Rebudgeted so the step actually runs, with the arithmetic written out in a
comment so the next reader does not have to re-derive why 120 rather than 80.

Fixing that surfaced a genuine bug in the composer. `floored` is documented as
recording fragments whose flexReserve prevented a trim that would otherwise have
happened, but the push sat in the else-branch of "content did not change", so it
only fired when nothing was trimmed at all. A fragment truncated to a
reserve-raised cap has also had a trim prevented — 40 characters' worth in the
test above — and was silently absent from the field that exists to make the
guarantee observable. The condition was already right; it was in the wrong
branch. Now recorded on both paths: a drop prevented outright, and a truncation
capped higher than the share alone would have allowed.

Parity is unaffected — prompt-budget never sets flexReserve, so the branch is
unreachable from every corpus path, and all 50 cases still match.

5a0a9f0972 fix(#2944): remove the catastrophic-backtracking regex from the ADR-1671 example (#2950)
* fix(#2944): remove the catastrophic-backtracking regex from the example

The non-shipping Option-E reference example carried its own copy of the
predicate-id regex, which nested a dot-containing character class inside a
dot-prefixed repeat. A run of N consecutive dots therefore had exponentially
many partitions. Measured on next before this change: 30 dots 54ms, 35 66ms,
40 807ms — so roughly 55-60 dots hangs for hours.

Not exploitable where it sits: the example is outside tsconfig.build.json,
outside the npm package files list, outside the installer and outside tests,
so no build step or CI job parses anything with it. Fixed because the entire
point of a reference example is that people copy it forward, and ADR-1671
presents this one as the pattern for the platform.

Ports the linear per-segment validation that #2928 gave the production module,
so the two copies agree: both parse the real CONTEXT.md to 415 predicates
across 20 classes with 0 duplicates. Doubled-dot ids are now rejected here
too, matching production, and the grammar comment records it.

Also refreshes the example's committed index, which #2928 made stale when it
removed the duplicate predicate from CONTEXT.md.

Closes #2944

* test(#2944): guard predicate-index sync and example/production parity

Two regression tests for the two defects in this PR.

Index sync: asserts the committed docs/CONTEXT-INDEX.json equals a fresh parse
of CONTEXT.md, naming any diverging predicate ids. The merge race that reddened
next was invisible to both PRs involved and only surfaced on the next PR to run
lint:ci; this puts the same check inside the suite, which runs on every PR, and
a mutation test proves the assertion is not vacuous.

Example/production parity: asserts both copies of the parser report the same
count, classes and duplicates for the real CONTEXT.md, and agree verdict-for-
verdict over a table of id shapes. The divergence WAS the bug — production went
linear-time while the example kept the backtracking regex, with nothing
asserting they agreed. Also pins the example rejecting a 60-dot id, with the
clean rejection as the binding assertion and wall-clock only as a smoke check.

Notes a real tension rather than hiding it: ADR-1671 says the example sits
outside tests/, and this imports it. The ADR's intent is that the example is
not compiled, packaged or installed — not that it may silently rot. A parity
guard does not ship it. The file states this so a reviewer can object.

* fix(#2944): address both isolated review passes

Two independent reviewers (correctness and security axes, neither the author).
Security found nothing — it measured linearity to 100k chars across dots,
hyphens, underscores and mixed classes, and showed prototype pollution is
structurally unreachable because the first-segment pattern forbids
lowercase and underscore-leading ids. The correctness pass found three
blockers, all real.

Blocker: the parity test violated ADR-1671 verbatim. The ADR lists FOUR
exclusions for the reference example, the fourth being the CI test suite, and
the test imported it from tests/ while its own justification comment cited only
three -- constructing a rationale around the exclusion it broke. Moved to
scripts/lint-example-parser-parity.cjs wired into lint:ci; a lint script is not
the test suite, so the exclusion stands. The test file keeps only the
docs/CONTEXT-INDEX.json sync check.

Blocker: the mutation test leaked its temp dir. Its callback took no `t`, so a
failing assertion skipped the bare cleanup call. Now registered via t.after(),
matching the convention adr-index-gate.test.cjs documents.

Blocker: the example's own committed index carries the identical merge-race
staleness this PR fixes for the production one, and nothing guarded it.
Deliberately NOT fixed by wiring the example's --check into CI: that artifact
bakes line numbers, so it re-drifts on any unrelated CONTEXT.md line shift --
exactly ADR-1671 open question 4 -- and would make CI routinely red. The new
lint asserts the line-INDEPENDENT facts instead: count, class map, duplicate
set, and every (id, value) pair. Proven non-vacuous both ways: mutating a value
fails and names the id, mutating only a line number passes.

Major: a real divergence the parity claim would have missed. Production rejects
values containing an embedded CR, LF, U+2028 or U+2029; the example did not, so
a value with an embedded lone CR was rejected by one copy and accepted by the
other. Ported, and now covered by the parity table.

Also, found while verifying rather than reported: malformed diagnostics covered
only empty values. A doubled-dot id, a space in an id, and a lowercase-leading
id were all dropped silently. That contradicts the module's own intent -- a
typo should be diagnosable, and a space in an id is a likely one -- and
predicates are contractually cited, so a silently vanished predicate is the
failure mode that matters. Each rejection class now carries a named reason in
both copies, while ordinary inline code still yields none.

Trues up counts my own change staled: the example README and ADR-1671's
prototype figures said 416 and 393/18 against a real 415/20/0.

05b170e448 chore(#2928): productionize the CONTEXT.md predicate fact-store and gate it in CI (#2938)
* feat(#2928): port CONTEXT.md predicate fact-store into the src seam

Productionizes the ADR-1671 Option-E reference example as a real module:
src/context-predicates.cts (parser + selector + index builder) compiled to
gsd-core/bin/lib/, plus scripts/gen-context-index.cjs following the repo's
--check/--write drift-guard idiom and wired into lint:generated-sync.

Parser behavior is deliberately prototype-equivalent in this commit so the
next commit's regression matrix binds to the real defects rather than to a
missing module.

Two locked design deviations from the prototype:
- duplicates carry a count, not line numbers
- the committed index carries no line field at all, resolving ADR-1671 open
  question 4: an artifact without line numbers cannot drift on a line shift,
  so promoting --check to a CI gate does not make it routinely red

Also reconciles the one remaining duplicate predicate ID
(RULESET.WORKFLOW_MARKDOWN.FENCES was declared twice; the non-MD040 wording
is removed) so the gate can land fail-closed on duplicates.

Refs #1671

* test(#2928): failing-first matrix for the predicate fact-store

Adds the regression matrix from the phase test plan: parser declaration
forms, fence and comment regions, ID/value grammar boundaries at
limit-1/limit/limit+1, CRLF fidelity, duplicate detection, the drift-guard
CLI, the selector query surface, and four document-shaped fast-check
properties.

Seven rows are RED for behavioral reasons against the ported parser:
indented-bare, star-list, plus-list and numbered-list declaration forms are
dropped; a tilde fence and a four-backtick fence containing a shorter fence
are not skipped; and a multi-line HTML comment is parsed as live. Eleven
selector rows are RED because the query surface is not wired yet.

Negative fixtures come from real repo documents that predate the grammar
(CONTEXT.md, CONTRIBUTING.md's fenced env-assignment examples) per the
fixture-provenance rule, and the property generators are document-shaped
rather than seeded from our own serializer.

Refs #1671

* fix(#2928): consume the shared fence scanner, relocate the index, wire the selector

Drives the failing-first matrix green.

Parser: replaces the ported naive triple-backtick toggle with the shared
markdown-sectionizer fence engine. scanFencedBlocks and FencedBlockRecord
gain an export keyword — the only change to that module, which has 71
upstream dependents — because it already returns line-indexed spans, which
is exactly what a line-reporting parser needs. It also already documents
itself as the second copy of the fence state machine pending consolidation;
adding a third copy here would have been the generative-fix divergence this
repo warns about. A parity suite now pins predicate fence-skipping against
that scanner across eight fence shapes. HTML-comment skipping stays local
because the sectionizer has no comment scanner. Declaration forms widen to
indented-bare, star, plus and numbered list items.

Index location: docs/CONTEXT-INDEX.json, not a module under bin/lib. The
remote matrix run caught the original choice — a committed .cjs there ships
~120KB of CONTEXT.md prose into a runtime module, and two content guards
fired truthfully on it (a leaked .claude install path, and four hardcoded
package-name literals). Neither guard was allowlisted; the artifact moved
instead, mirroring docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json. Nothing at runtime needs to
require it — it is a drift-detection artifact, so the selector parses
CONTEXT.md live and is always current.

Generator: adds a frozen REASON enum and --check --json so the gate's
outcome is asserted structurally instead of by matching prose, and
--context-path/--index-path so tests drive the real CLI against a temp tree
with no filesystem monkeypatching.

Selector: gsd_run query context-predicates with --class/--prefix/--contains,
structured output carrying a matched count, own-property guards, and no
project-root resolution. Registering it exposed that the query dispatch
table and the usage string had drifted: a new parity test found 20 routed
commands missing from the usage list, all added here rather than deferred.

Refs #1671

* test(#2928): lock the newly-public scanFencedBlocks contract

Exporting scanFencedBlocks made it public API for the first time, so it
needs its own contract test independent of the consumer that motivated the
export. Memtrace's co-change analysis flagged the gap: this suite changes
together with markdown-sectionizer.cts 8 times in 90 days and was absent
from the diff.

Covers the documented rules: 0-based indices, -1 for an unterminated fence,
the same-char/>=length/no-trailing-text closer rule, a shorter fence inside
a longer one staying content, CommonMark 4.5 backtick-in-info-string, and
<=3-space indent tolerance.

Refs #1671

* fix(#2928): address both isolated review passes

Two independent reviewers (correctness axis and security axis, neither the
author) found seven findings. All are fixed here with regression tests; none
deferred.

BLOCKER — comment-blind fence scanning caused silent, permanent predicate
loss. The HTML-comment scan and the fence scan ran as two independent passes,
and the fence scanner is comment-blind, so a fence delimiter inside an HTML
comment with no later close read as an unterminated fence and skipped every
remaining line to EOF. Worse, the drift-guard could not catch it: it diffs
against a baseline produced by the same corrupted parse. The two constructs
now interleave in a single pass so each suppresses the other's boundary
detection while active, covered in both directions. The parity suite still
binds this scanner to markdown-sectionizer's for comment-free documents, so
the two cannot diverge unnoticed.

BLOCKER — the selector was not consumed anywhere, leaving the phase's
acceptance criterion unmet. Now wired into the pre-work predicate-citation
step in contributor-standards, which is the repo's actual brief-assembly
path; no code-level brief assembler exists to wire into.

MAJOR — ReDoS with an unauthenticated CI-hang exploit. The predicate-id
regex nested a dot-containing character class inside a dot-prefixed repeat,
so N consecutive dots had exponentially many partitions: 40 dots took 565ms
and growth was exponential. CI runs this parser over a pull request's own
CONTEXT.md, so any contributor could have hung a shared runner with one
line. Replaced with linear per-segment validation. Doubled-dot ids are now
rejected; the real document contains none.

MAJOR — the duplicate-id gate had only ever been proven on synthetic
fixtures. A test now re-inserts the exact line this branch removed and
asserts the real generator names it.

MAJOR — --check together with --write silently let write win, turning the
gate into a writer; a missing path value resolved to the cwd and leaked an
EISDIR stack trace. Both are now clean usage errors.

MINOR — the hoisted skip-list was exported as a live mutable Set; replaced
with a read-only predicate. MINOR — flag-shaped selector values were
unmatchable; the inline --flag=value form now provides the escape hatch.

* fix(#2914): never persist a spent emitted-drift ack on next

tests/emitted-drift-ack.json held 34 spent #2834 entries merged via #2900.
Every entry is scoped to the diff that introduced it (#2789), so once merged
to next it is at the base by definition -- spent and inert. Its presence is
still load-bearing though: each PR rewrites the paths map wholesale, making a
persistent base copy a shared cell. Five of six conflicting PRs in the open
queue collided on this file and nothing else.

Deletes the stale document and adds a push-to-next guard asserting it stays
absent. The guard is deliberately NOT wired into lint:ci -- a PR-lane check
against the base is the #2768 shape #2789 exists to end.

* fix(#2914): per-PR ack fragments instead of one shared mutable file

The emitted-drift acknowledgment lived in a single tests/emitted-drift-ack.json
whose paths map every PR rewrote wholesale. That is a shared mutable cell: any
two PRs needing an ack edit the same lines and conflict. Five of six conflicting
PRs in the open queue collided on this file and nothing else.

Acks now live as per-PR fragments under tests/emitted-drift-acks/, the same
shape .changeset/ already uses to solve this exact problem. Two PRs pick
different filenames, so they cannot collide, and fragments lingering on next
are harmless rather than toxic.

The legacy file's 35 entries are MIGRATED into a fragment, not deleted. An
earlier delete-only attempt failed verification twice: the ratchet lost the
spec-phase.md acknowledgment from #2779 and reported a 10-byte growth with no
ack. Relocating preserves every acknowledgment.

The legacy single file is still READ (unioned with the fragments) because five
open PRs carry it; dropping support would break all of them. A duplicate path
key across sources is a hard error, never last-wins.

The push-to-next guard is retargeted accordingly: it now asserts only that the
legacy SHARED file never reappears on next. Fragments may persist harmlessly.

90771ddf02 enh(#2904): add a reviewer entry type so third-party reviewer lanes are discoverable (#2912)
* feat(#2904): add a `reviewer` entry type so third-party reviewer lanes are discoverable

ADR-2782 made a reviewer lane installable by a third party, but neither
discoverability catalog could hold one. The Community Capability Registry
requires a non-empty `loopExtensionPoints` and forbids a lane from declaring
any hook kind, so a `role: "reviewer"` entry is unsatisfiable by construction;
the EoS Registry is for ADR-1239 host integrations, which a lane is not.

Adds a third catalog — `docs/registries/reviewers.json` →
`docs/registries/reviewer-registry.md` — whose `interactions` describes the
lane: slug, flags, transport, evidenceClass, reviewsSection, requiresBinaries,
configKeys, runtimeCompat.

The lane vocabulary is a hand-written mirror of `capability-validator.cjs`
(the same pattern as `AXES` mirroring `HOST_INTEGRATION_AXES`), with parity
enforced by tests/registry-reviewer-parity.test.cjs. `slug` deliberately uses
the runtime `LANE_SLUG_RE` grammar rather than the registry's kebab-only `id`
rule, so real lanes (`lm_studio`, `4o-mini`) are not rejected.

Two binary type branches became three-way Map dispatch. Both now fail loudly
on an unrecognized type instead of silently treating it as a capability —
`renderMarkdown` in particular writes a committed catalog file, so a silent
wrong-title render was the worst failure mode available.

Also fixed while here: `gen-registry.cjs` parsed source JSON with no error
handling, so a malformed or non-array `capabilities.json` surfaced as a raw
SyntaxError/TypeError instead of an actionable CLI error.

Closes #2904

* fix(#2904): bound and sanitize untrusted registry `interactions` strings

Review findings from the pre-PR passes.

Security (isolated pass): `interactions` string fields reached the generated,
committed Markdown catalog with no control-character check and no length
bound. A `reviewsSection` carrying ESC and a `requiresBinaries` element
carrying NUL plus 5000 characters validated clean and landed verbatim in the
rendered page — `mdInline` escapes Markdown metacharacters and collapses CRLF,
but nothing else. The identical gap already existed on the capability type's
`configKeys`/`requires`/`runtimeCompat`/`produces`/`consumes`, so it is fixed
there too rather than inherited into a third type.

`hasDisallowedControlChar` is lifted to module scope so exactly one
implementation exists, and a shared `validateStringArrayField` enforces
control-character rejection, a 200-character element cap and a 50-element
array cap for both types.

Correctness (standards pass): `renderMarkdown`'s per-entry summary builder was
still an if/else-if chain whose final `else` was the capability branch — the
one per-type dispatch point this change had not converted, and the same silent
fallthrough it removes elsewhere. It now lives in `RENDER_META` alongside the
title, so a fourth type cannot silently inherit capability's rendering. All
three types' rendered output is byte-identical to before the refactor.

Also corrects a test comment that still claimed the reviewer suites were
failing-first against an unmodified module.

7372d99a26 enhance(#2800): derive reviewer flag lists and gate reviewer lane docs across locales (#2882)
* chore(#2800): derive reviewer flag lists and gate reviewer lane docs across locales

The reviewer lane roster was hand-enumerated across five documentation
surfaces and three workflow files that had drifted apart: --kimi-code was
missing from all four translated COMMANDS.md mirrors, --coderabbit from
every workflow forwarding list, and --antigravity from FEATURES.md.

Adds checkReviewerDocsParity, a second pure gate deliberately separate from
checkReviewerLaneParity so a stale doc cannot make the runtime checker look
red. Workflows now derive their flag lists from a new review-lane flags
query instead of hand-enumerating them, which also retires the unanchored
grep that matched --agy inside --antigravity.

Documents the previously absent reviewer body and hostBehaviors field in
the capability manifest reference.

Closes #2800
Closes #2781
Closes #2272

* fix(#2800): key the docs parity table arm on first-cell position

Review found the flag arm was file-scoped, so the forwarding row that lists
every flag in its third cell satisfied it on its own. Deleting a lane's own
reviewer-table row -- the #2781 regression this gate exists to prevent --
therefore passed undetected.

Arm 4 keys on the FIRST table cell, which separates a lane row from the
forwarding row structurally and in every locale. Regression test included.

* fix(#2800): shape-filter the flags subcommand output

All three consumers read review-lane flags through an unquoted command
substitution so the output word-splits into loop items. Phase 2 admits
third-party overlay lanes, so an overlay flag containing whitespace would
inject a second loop item and one containing a glob would expand against
the cwd. Emit only well-formed flags so neither reaches the shell.

* fix(#2800): remove the regex length ceiling and count only prose mentions

Review found two real defects in the docs parity gate.

The never-throws contract was false: building a RegExp from a declared flag
or section title throws SyntaxError past ~100k chars, and Phase 2 admits
overlay lanes whose declared strings are untrusted in length. Every one of
these matches is literal, so String.includes replaces the regex outright,
which also deletes escapeLiteral and the llama.cpp escaping it existed for.

Arm 1 was context-blind: a flag mentioned only inside a fenced example or a
commented-out row counted as documented. Both are stripped before matching.

Also advertises all 13 lane flags in the argument-hint and corrects a stale
eleven-lane count in the slug grammar note.

* test(#2800): repoint the convergence suite off deleted workflow text

The derived flag loop deleted the literal per-flag grep lines four tests
matched on. Two of those failed loudly. The behavioral and property tests
failed SILENTLY instead: their end marker no longer resolved, so the parse
block extracted empty and both passed vacuously, and the property test's
gsd_run stub had a no-op default that hid it.

All now share one extractor and execute the real deployed block through a
gsd_run shim backed by the actual binary. The whitelist assertions become an
anti-parity check: re-adding a hand-written flag list must fail.

Also repairs two vacuous cases in the docs parity suite. The unreadable-doc
test called its own mock rather than the reader, and the integration test
bounded nothing, so a doc losing its marker would have been silently skipped
and still passed green.

* fix(#2800): run the derived flag loop after the launcher preamble

The remote matrix caught a real runtime bug, not a test artifact. In
autonomous.md and plan-review-convergence.md the launcher preamble that
defines gsd_run lives in a separate, LATER bash fence than the derived loop.
Each fence is its own shell, so gsd_run was undefined where the loop ran:
the command substitution yielded nothing and zero reviewer flags would have
been forwarded. Worse than the drift this epic fixes, and silent.

The whole CONVERGENCE_ARGS construction moves as one unit, because the
--max-cycles append sits between the loop and the preamble and would
otherwise have run against an uninitialized variable and then been dropped
by the relocated initializer.

Also documents all 13 lane flags in help/modes/full.md, which the repo gates
bidirectionally against each command's argument-hint.

* test(#2800): repoint the two converge suites off deleted flag literals

Both asserted workflow.includes('--codex') against the hand-enumerated list
the derived loop removed. They now assert the derivation itself, keep --all
and --text (convergence controls, still literal), and add an anti-parity
guard so re-adding a hardcoded list fails.

The lost pass-through proof is replaced with a real one: every flag the
tests used to hardcode is asserted present in the actual roster emitted by
the binary, which is the property the old assertion was protecting.

* test(#2800): acknowledge the workflow byte growth from the derived flag loop

* chore(#2800): backfill changeset pr number to 2882

* fix(#2800): strip HTML comments to a fixed point in the parity gate

CodeQL js/incomplete-multi-character-sanitization (high) on PR #2882: the
single-pass <!--...--> strip can leave a live <!-- behind, so a join-trick
construction smuggles a commented-out row past the gate and it counts as
documented. Not an injection risk here since nothing is rendered, but it is
the exact false pass this helper exists to prevent.

Strips to a fixed point, then treats any surviving opener as unterminated so
the multi-line branch closes it on a later line. Terminates because every
pass strictly shortens the string.

* test(#2800): pin the comment-smuggling regression with a real reproducer

The obvious fixture for this class does not reproduce it: <!--<!---->-->
leaves a dangling --> rather than a live <!--, and is caught either way, so
it would have passed with and without the fix. The join-trick construction
(<!- + <!--DUMMY--> + -...-->), the <scr<script>ipt> shape, genuinely
regresses on the single-pass strip and is what the test now uses.

aa19e3478c fix(#2854): pin the emitted gate to the base the tree was merged with (#2859)
* test(#2854): failing-first coverage for CI baseline export provenance

Extracts the export decision out of main() behind injected IO so it is
unit-testable, preserving today's export-whenever-present semantics, and
adds the matrix that proves those semantics are wrong.

The PR lane restores the emitted baseline keyed on the PR's recorded base
sha while the gate resolves the base ref live, so the two drift whenever
next advances mid-flight. The restore was published straight to
GSD_EMITTED_BASELINE, where a mismatch is fatal, turning a recoverable
cache into a hard failure on diffs that touched nothing related.

Also renames the stale-env fixture from 'from-cache-restore.json' to an
operator-pin name: that fixture asserted the exact conflation this bug
is, documenting the defect as intended behavior.

Refs #2854

* fix(#2854): validate a restored baseline before publishing it as an operator pin

GSD_EMITTED_BASELINE is an operator pin: resolveBaseline() treats a mismatch
there as a hard stop, because the operator said "use this one". CI published
its cache restore to that same variable whenever the file merely existed, so
a restore keyed on the PR's recorded base sha - while the gate resolves the
base ref live - turned a recoverable cache into a fatal error whenever next
advanced mid-flight. Required tests went red on diffs that touched nothing
related, and named a test file the contributor never opened.

The export step is the boundary, so it is the boundary that validates. It now
publishes only a baseline already valid for the sha under test, judged by
validateBaseline so the staleness rule keeps one definition. Anything refused
is left to be found via the cache path, where a mismatch degrades to the
in-job build exactly as ADR-2719 SS5 specifies. The operator hard stop is
untouched, and the fast path still hits on a current cache.

Also reports the sources actually reached rather than asserting all three
ran: the failure message claimed an in-job build it had returned before
calling, sending contributors after a rebuild that never happened.

Fixes #2854

* fix(#2854): pin the emitted gate to the base the tree was actually merged with

The differential compared a tree built on one commit against a baseline at a
different one. "Rebase check" merges pull_request.base.sha, pinned by #2472 so
all 12 matrix jobs agree on one tree, but resolveBase() fell through to
origin/next, which fetch-depth 0 leaves at the live tip. Nothing set
GSD_EMITTED_BASE, so whenever next advanced mid-flight the two disagreed.

The cached baseline, keyed on base.sha, was correct for that tree and was
rejected as STALE by a target that was not. Required tests went red on diffs
that touched nothing related, naming a test file the contributor never opened.

The near miss is the worse half: had resolution gotten past the baseline step,
a baseline at the live tip would have attributed commits merged to next in
between to the PR under test. The hard stop was shielding us from a wrong
answer, so making it fall through would have made this worse.

Pins GSD_EMITTED_BASE to the same expression as CI_REBASE_BASE_SHA in every
rebase-merged job, with a parity test asserting the two cannot diverge. That
parity check immediately caught a third lane, test-inert, that merges a pinned
base and had been missed.

Fixes #2854

* fix(#2854): keep the export step self-contained across the package boundary

scripts/ ships in the npm tarball and tests/ does not, so requiring the
validator across that boundary is MODULE_NOT_FOUND in a published install.
The export step now reads the same GSD_EMITTED_BASE pin the gate resolves
through, and applies a cheap self-contained precondition; validateBaseline
remains the sole authority and still runs downstream on whatever is
published, so there is no second opinion to drift.

Reading the pin rather than re-deriving a base is the point: a second,
divergent base lookup is exactly what caused this bug.

The same hazard pre-exists in scripts/gen-emitted-baseline.cjs, which ships
and requires three tests/ modules. Filed as #2858 rather than folded in:
fixing it means relocating the shared helpers out of tests/ and updating
every consumer, which would bury this change.

Refs #2854

* fix(#2854): stop announcing the restored cache through the operator-pin door

Two independent reviewers found the same blocker in the previous approach.
Validating before publishing to GSD_EMITTED_BASELINE only narrowed the hole:
the precondition gated on sha equality alone, so a document with a MATCHING
sha but a wrong schema version or malformed manifests was still announced as
an operator pin and still hard-stopped downstream. That reproduces this bug's
own class, triggered by malformation instead of staleness.

The step was never load-bearing. The cache restores to
.gsd-cache/emitted-baseline.json, which is resolveBaseline's DEFAULT_CACHE_PATH
and is read whether or not anything announces it. Publishing the same file to
the pin door could only ever convert recoverable into fatal, so the step and
its script are deleted rather than made cleverer. Every failure mode now
degrades to the in-job build by construction, and validateBaseline is once
again the only thing that judges a baseline.

Coverage moves to where the behaviour lives: stale sha, wrong schema version,
manifests array/absent, non-object documents, unreadable file, and the 39/40/41
hex boundary all assert degradation via the cache path. Adds the empty-pin case
a reviewer flagged as untested - the pin is job-level env, so on push events it
renders as an empty string, and only baseRefCandidates' truthy check keeps it
out of the candidate list.

0408276791 chore(#2797): federate reviewer config keys off the central schema (#2841)
* chore(#2797): federate reviewer config keys off the central schema

Phase 4 of epic #2782 (ADR-2782 D9, config half). Runs AFTER 5a per the
ADR's swap amendment: a federated config slice lives inside a
capabilities/<id>/capability.json, and three of the five key families had
no capability directory until 5a created them.

Four key families move to the lanes that use them; the central-schema
removal and the federated addition land in this one commit because the
exclusivity invariant fails the build on a key present in both.
review.max_prompt_tokens, review.default_reviewers and
review.reviewer_instances describe policy ACROSS lanes and stay central.

Two things the issue did not name, both found while building it:

1. THE EXCLUSIVITY GATE WAS BLIND TO PATTERNS. It compared federated keys
   against manifest.validKeys only, and two of the four families
   (review.models.<slug>, review.max_prompt_tokens_per_reviewer.<slug>)
   were pattern-backed. That is not cosmetic: isCentralConfigKey consults
   those patterns and mergeFederatedConfig skips every key for which it
   returns true, so declaring a slice while the pattern survived would
   have shipped an INERT slice behind a green gate — the exact
   half-migrated shape the invariant exists to prevent. The gate now
   loads the patterns from the same manifest the runtime reads.

2. AN UNSET PER-LANE BUDGET NOW RESOLVES TO 0, NOT NOT-FOUND, because a
   federated key always resolves to its declared default. The three
   fallback guards in review.md checked only empty-or-"null", so a user
   who set the GLOBAL review.max_prompt_tokens would have silently lost
   trimming on the HTTP lanes. The guards now treat 0 as unset.

D9 says review.models.<slug> is owned by "the lane whose slug it names".
That is false for one lane: the shipped key is review.models.agy while
the slug is antigravity. Ownership follows the lane; the key name is
preserved, because renaming would break every config that sets it.

Existing tests updated rather than left asserting the old world:
config-get on a cleared federated key yields empty instead of
not-found (what #2046 actually protects — never persisting the literal
"null" — is unchanged and still asserted); the config-schema dynamic
pattern representative moves to reviewer_instances; the
prototype-pollution guard case moves to a surviving dynamic prefix so
alert #26 keeps its coverage, with a new case asserting the old key is
now rejected earlier; and Phase 2's harvest-widening inertness assertion
becomes an ownership assertion, since Phase 4 is what consumes it.

* fix(#2797): use a -1 sentinel so an explicit per-lane budget of 0 survives

A federated config key always resolves to its declared default, so an
unset per-lane prompt budget needed a value the workflow could treat as
'not configured'. The first cut used 0 — which is wrong: 0 is already a
LEGITIMATE per-lane budget meaning 'do not trim this lane' (the
early-return guard in prepare_trimmed_prompt_for_reviewer). Treating it
as unset would have silently switched a user who deliberately disabled
trimming for one lane onto the global budget.

The sentinel is now -1, which is not a valid token budget, so all three
states stay distinguishable: unset falls back to global, an explicit 0
disables trimming for that lane, and an explicit N is used. Locked by
three CLI round-trip tests.

Surfaced by the isolated security reviewer before it crashed mid-run;
verified independently against the shipped trim guard rather than taken
on trust.

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

* fix(#2797): update central-registration assertions and stay under the review.md cap

The remote runner caught both; my local sweep missed the files.

1. tests/plan-review-convergence.test.cjs asserted the three local-server
   host keys are in VALID_CONFIG_KEYS. They are federated to their lane
   capabilities now, and the exclusivity invariant forbids a key living
   in both places. What #2306-local actually protects is that config-set
   ACCEPTS them, so that is what is asserted — via isValidConfigKey, the
   predicate config-set itself uses, which spans central and federated.
   A second assertion pins federated ownership, so a silent reversion
   back to the central schema fails too.

2. review.md exceeded the LARGE tier hard cap (62583 > 61440). That cap
   is a red line, not a budget to raise. The three per-lane budget guard
   comments were near-identical; condensed to one terse line each. 61371
   bytes, 69 to spare. Real extraction to workflows/review/modes/ is
   Phase 5b/6 work.

* fix(#2797): fail closed on a broken config-schema manifest; reconcile stale docs

Isolated security review findings.

MAJOR — loadCentralConfigPatterns failed OPEN. It swallowed a JSON parse
error and returned [], while its sibling loadCentralConfigKeys, reading
the SAME file, writes to stderr and throws ExitError(1) on that identical
failure class. Fail-open here defeats the gate this function exists to
feed: with zero patterns, validateCrossCapability's pattern-collision
check silently passes and an inert federated slice ships green. It was
masked in the one production call site only because loadCentralConfigKeys
runs first against the same path — a coincidence of ordering, not a
guarantee, and this function is exported and called standalone. The two
now share a contract: ENOENT is the legitimate absent case, anything else
throws loudly. A single unparseable PATTERN is still skipped, which
degrades to "checked less" rather than blocking every build. The branch
had zero coverage; it now has two tests (malformed JSON, EISDIR).

MINOR — docs/CONFIGURATION.md still listed review.models.qwen and
review.models.cursor as settable, ~770 lines below this PR's own new
Ownership section. Those lanes take no model flag, so they declare no
model key and config-set now rejects them. Rows removed; the missing
review.models.agy row added; the per-reviewer budget row corrected to
name only the lanes that own a budget key, and to document that a
per-lane 0 disables trimming for that lane.

Also fixes a shadowed "raw" binding introduced by the fail-closed change,
which made the generator unrequirable — caught immediately by its own
--check.

* chore(#2797): backfill changeset pr number to 2841

* fix(#2452): make the base-ref mutation test hermetic against leaked GIT_* env

tests/mutation-workflow-base-ref.test.cjs fails on PR branches while next
stays green, and it is currently blocking at least three unrelated PRs
(#2841, #2832, #2827) with:

  error: invalid object 100644 <sha> for 'base-N.txt'
  error: Error building trees

The existing loop comment attributes this to `git add .` rehashing O(n^2)
blobs "before the object write had landed" and works around it by staging
one path per iteration. That is not the cause: sequential execFileSync
calls cannot race each other's object writes, and the failure persisted
after that change — it simply moved to a lower commit index.

The cause is that the git() helper inherited the runner's environment. A
leaked GIT_INDEX_FILE makes `git add` write into a DIFFERENT repository's
index; GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY / GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES send the
blob to another object store; GIT_DIR / GIT_WORK_TREE redirect the whole
operation. In every case `git commit` then cannot resolve a blob it just
staged, which is precisely the error above.

Verified by negative control: with GIT_DIR exported, this test fails on
the unfixed helper (the git commands operate on the wrong repository
entirely); with the helper stripping GIT_* it passes. The single-path
staging is kept — it is genuinely less work — but it is no longer load
bearing.

Found while shipping #2797. Fixed in place rather than deferred: it is a
defect surfaced during the work, and it is blocking other contributors.

* fix(#2452): build the base-advance commits empty, removing the lost-object class

The base-ref guard has been failing in CI with:

  error: invalid object 100644 <sha> for 'base-N.txt'
  error: Error building trees

It is currently red on at least three unrelated PRs (#2841, #2832,
#2827) while next stays green.

Two theories have now been tried and neither held. #1881 blamed `git
add .` rehashing O(n^2) blobs and switched to staging one path per
iteration; the failure moved from commit 32 to commit 25 and carried on.
The preceding commit here made the git helper hermetic against leaked
GIT_* environment — that IS a real vulnerability (with GIT_DIR exported
the helper operates on the wrong repository entirely, proven by negative
control) but it produces a different error than CI reports, so it is not
demonstrably the cause either.

Neither trigger reproduces off-CI, so this stops guessing at the trigger
and removes the failure CLASS instead. The loop needs base-branch DEPTH
and nothing else: no assertion reads these commits' contents, and
base-side files cannot appear in `origin/base...HEAD` regardless.
`--allow-empty` writes no blob and no tree, so there is no object for the
index to reference and lose. It is also far less work than 60
write+hash+index cycles.

The guard still proves its mechanism: the test asserts that a --depth=1
base fetch FAILS and a full fetch resolves, so a broken topology would
surface immediately rather than passing vacuously.

6a9babda69 chore(#2798): declare the eleven reviewer lanes as manifest data (#2837)
* chore(#2798): declare the eleven reviewer lanes as manifest data

Phase 5a of epic #2782, delivering ADR-2782 D9 (roster half) and D3.

- Five reviewers GSD never installs into become lane-only role:reviewer
  capabilities with no runtime body, no runtimeCompat and no install surface:
  gemini, coderabbit, ollama, lm-studio, llama-cpp. Before this they had no
  descriptor at all and lived as a hardcoded NON_RUNTIME_REVIEWER_SLUGS tail,
  which is now deleted outright.
- The six hosts that are ALSO reviewers gain a reviewer body alongside their
  runtime body. Their runtime bodies are byte-identical to next -- verified per
  capability against the git blob, not asserted -- so no install behaviour moves.
- KNOWN_REVIEWER_SLUGS derives from declared bodies via an exported
  deriveReviewerSlugs(registry). hostBehaviors.reviewerCli survives as a derived
  legacy alias for one release; where a capability carries both, the body wins
  and the slug appears once. Alias removal is Phase 7 (#2801).

THE KEYSTONE: the roster is the SAME ELEVEN SLUGS as before -- antigravity,
claude, coderabbit, codex, cursor, gemini, llama_cpp, lm_studio, ollama,
opencode, qwen. This phase changes HOW the roster is derived, not WHO is in it,
and the test asserts that literal list rather than a count.

kimi-code is deliberately NOT declared here. It is net-new with no
invoke_reviewers leg, so declaring it now would make it selectable but not
invocable -- present in --all, selected, emitting an empty section for the whole
5a-to-5b window -- and would break Phase 1's parity assertion. It lands in 5b
alongside the iteration that can run it. Legacy kimi (the Python CLI) is not a
reviewer at all and gains nothing.

The highest-value test is declaredManifestLanesMatchThePhase1Descriptor: it
deep-compares all eleven declared bodies against REVIEWER_LANES field-by-field,
including probe and invoke sub-fields. All eleven are byte-identical, key order
included. The epic's premise is that the manifest and the core descriptor
describe the same lane with NO translation layer, and Phase 2's review already
caught one divergence that every other test missed.

Two ADR corrections folded in, as Phases 1-3 each did:

1. PHASE ORDER. The ADR runs Phase 4 (federated config) before 5a and #2798
   claims a dependency on 4. That is inverted and makes Phase 4 unsatisfiable:
   D9 assigns review.<host>_host to lane capabilities that do not exist until
   THIS phase creates them, and a federated config slice must live inside
   capabilities/<id>/capability.json. Real graph: Phase 2 -> 5a -> 4.
2. #2798's INVENTORY acceptance item is vacuous. The inventory catalogs
   bin/lib/*.cjs modules, not capability directories -- antigravity, opencode
   and qwen appear zero times in it -- and gen-inventory-manifest --check passes
   with the five new dirs and no edit.

Also corrected a stale line in Phase 2's own ADR amendment: it recorded the slug
pattern as /^[a-z][a-z0-9_-]*$/, but Phase 2's security review widened the
shipped pattern to /^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9_-]*$/ to match Phase 1's exported
LANE_SLUG_RE. The prose had not followed the code.

Closes #2798

* fix(#2798): catalogue reviewer capabilities in the generated matrix

The capability matrix rendered exactly two tables, feature and runtime, via
renderTable(caps, role) filtering on c.role === role. ADR-2782 D3 added a THIRD
role, so every role:"reviewer" capability was silently dropped from the
first-party catalogue.

The drift guard did not catch it, and could not: --check compares generated
output against the committed file, and both omitted the five lanes identically,
so it reported "up to date" while five shipped capabilities were invisible in
the one document that is supposed to list what ships. A guard blind to an entire
role is not guarding.

This phase is what exposed it -- it ships the first role:"reviewer"
capabilities -- so it is fixed here rather than deferred (CLAUDE.md: a defect
found while working is fixed in the current change, which overrides
one-concern-per-PR).

Verified red-before-green: with a lane row deleted from the matrix, --check now
exits 1; restored, it exits 0. Before this fix the lanes were absent entirely, so
there was nothing for the guard to compare.

Phase 6 (#2800) still owns enriching the matrix with lane-specific detail
(slug/flag/transport columns) and the locale parity gate. This is the narrower
fix: the capabilities APPEAR at all.

* fix(#2798): close two hardening gaps and record three limits durably

Isolated security review (5 targets, no blockers) reproduced two gaps in the new
deriveReviewerSlugs. Both are unreachable through the checked-in registry -- it is
generated, JSON-sourced and code-reviewed -- but the function is EXPORTED for
reuse and carries no other validation, so it must not depend on its caller.

- A whitespace-only slug passed the length>0 test verbatim and occupied a roster
  entry it could never match. Slugs are now trimmed before the emptiness test. A
  blank body correctly falls through to the legacy alias rather than DROPPING the
  lane, which would have been worse than the blank slug.
- KNOWN_REVIEWER_SLUGS is computed at require() time, so an uncaught throw there
  breaks import for EVERY consumer rather than degrading selection. It is now
  guarded, yielding an empty roster on a malformed registry. That is a visible
  degradation, not a silent one: under D4 an explicitly requested reviewer that
  is unavailable is an ERROR, so /gsd:review --claude against an empty roster
  fails loudly. This also removes an asymmetry -- the sibling capability-trust
  module documents its collectors as TOTAL and wraps them for exactly this reason.

Also records three findings that previously existed ONLY in squash-merged PR
bodies, which is not a durable record:

- ADR-2782 D5 gains an implementation note explaining why the resolved host is
  deliberately EXCLUDED from the disclosure signature. Rule 1 says consent binds
  the resolved host; the loader has no config resolver, so folding it in would
  make the loader and lifecycle compute different signatures for one manifest and
  re-prompt forever. The binding is split: signature covers the SHA-pinned
  manifest fields, the consent record stores the resolved host, and Phase 5b
  re-resolves at invocation -- which is where rule 4 already puts the check. A
  reader comparing rule 1 to the code would otherwise conclude it is unimplemented.
- CONTEXT.md's capability-trust entry still described THREE executable surfaces.
  Phase 3 added the fourth and made that false; corrected here, since it is drift
  this epic introduced rather than Phase 6's new-glossary-term work.
- stableJson documents the NaN/Infinity/undefined -> null signature collision and
  why it is unreachable (JSON grammar has no such literal, so JSON.parse throws
  first). Reachability rests entirely on the ingest path staying JSON.parse-only,
  so the note lives where someone would break it.

46e84d5e39 chore(#2795): reviewer manifest body + registry harvest, validation, forward-compat (#2823)
* chore(#2795): reviewer manifest body + registry harvest, validation, forward-compat

Phase 2 of epic #2782 under ADR-2782. Delivers D1, D2, D3, D7, D8 and the four
Phase-1 vocabulary amendments (A1-A4).

- VALID_ROLES gains "reviewer"; the reviewer body is admissible on role:runtime
  (a host that is also a reviewer keeps one manifest) and on the new
  role:reviewer (a lane that is not an install target). A reviewer body on
  role:feature is an error: declaring one is an assertion of lane-ness.
- validateReviewerBody + validateLaneProbe + validateLaneInvoke: nine closed
  enums, a transport discriminator selecting mutually-exclusive invoke
  sub-shapes, bounded probes (D7), and outputArg required-iff outputChannel is
  file-arg and forbidden otherwise.
- Absent-safe (D4.1): only `undefined` is absent. null/{}/[]/false/0 are
  malformed assertions and error. 39 of 39 shipped capabilities depend on this.
- collectReviewerWarnings: an unknown field inside the body warns, never errors,
  so a forward-built manifest degrades visibly instead of failing the build.
- D8 uniqueness (slug / flags / reviewsSection) lives in validateCrossCapability,
  so it is enforced at build time over first-party AND at load time over the
  merged first-party union overlay set, with first-party-wins falling out of the
  loader's existing ordering rather than a new provenance check.
- Config harvest widened past the role==="feature" branch in both the generator
  and the ownership loop. The often-cited cause of the stranded reviewer config
  keys -- the runtime body forbidding feature-only fields -- is not the
  mechanism: `config` is not in FEATURE_FIELDS_FORBIDDEN_ON_RUNTIME. The cause is
  two harvest sites that never read it. Verified inert: no shipped capability
  declares config on a non-feature role, and the generated registry is unchanged.

Three ADR corrections are folded in (Phase 1 set the precedent of amending
in-phase): the misattributed config-stranding cause, D3's inverted
profile-membership claim, and the specified capability folder names for
lm_studio / llama_cpp, which would have failed the id kebab-case invariant.

Closes #2795

* chore(#2795): collapse nine enum checks into one validateEnumField helper

Standards-axis review findings, both applied:

- Duplicated Code: the enum-membership + enumerate-the-members error shape
  repeated near-verbatim at nine call sites. Routing them through one helper
  makes "the error names its valid members" structural rather than a
  convention repeated nine times, where it would drift. That property is
  load-bearing until Phase 6 ships the prose reference, because these errors
  are currently the only documentation of the vocabulary.

- Speculative Generality: the isReservedName() pre-check on every enum field
  was inert. A VALID_* set never contains __proto__/constructor/prototype, so
  membership alone already rejects them, and "must be one of: ..." is more
  actionable than "is a reserved name". The literal guards remain where they
  do real work -- the key-derived write sites in the registry generator and
  the claim() accumulator.

The reserved-name test now asserts all three reserved names are rejected via
enum membership, rather than one name via a branch that no longer exists.

* fix(#2795): align lane slug grammar with Phase 1 and wire the load-time diagnostic channel

Spec-axis review findings, both applied.

(1) The slug grammar had diverged from Phase 1's core descriptor. Phase 1 exports
LANE_SLUG_RE = /^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9_-]*$/ (leading digit permitted); the manifest
validator required a leading LETTER. A slug the core descriptor accepts -- a
model-named lane such as 4o-mini -- would have been rejected by the manifest
validator, which is exactly the translation layer ADR-2782 exists to delete. It
was inert only because all eleven shipped slugs begin with a letter, so nothing
else would have caught it until a third party shipped such a lane.

The grammar cannot be reduced to one definition: Phase 1's module compiles to
gitignored build output, and capability-validator.cjs is a committed plain .cjs
that must load on a fresh worktree before build:lib has ever run. That makes this
the repo's DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX class, so the duplication now carries a parity
assertion -- laneSlugGrammarMatchesPhase1Descriptor -- which compares both the
source grammar and the accept/reject verdict for a shared input set, and fails if
the two ever drift again.

(2) collectReviewerWarnings had exactly one caller: the build-time generator,
which only ever sees first-party in-repo manifests. The real third-party overlay
loader never called it and ValidatorModule did not declare it, so ADR-2782 D4.3
-- an unknown field inside a reviewer body is ignored WITH A WARNING -- surfaced
nowhere at runtime, which is precisely the case D4.3 exists for.

loadRegistry now collects those diagnostics on the accept path, behind a
typeof-guard (an older built validator without the function still loads) and a
try/catch (ADR-1244 D2's never-crash contract outranks a diagnostic). They land
in a NEW OverlayMeta.diagnostics field rather than OverlayMeta.warnings, because
warnings records capabilities that were SKIPPED and a consumer treating every
entry as inactive would mislabel a working lane.

Covered end-to-end by overlayLaneWithUnknownFieldIsAcceptedAndDiagnosed, which
drives a real global-scope overlay through loadRegistry and asserts the lane is
accepted, produces no skip warning, and yields a diagnostic naming the field.

* fix(#2795): make the reviewer validators honour their documented totality contract

Isolated adversarial review finding (MAJOR), reproduced by execution.

validateReviewerBody documents itself as "TOTAL: returns an array of error
strings for ANY input and never throws", and the overlay loader contracts every
validator to RETURN errors -- #1461 OVL-1 records a validator that THREW and
would have crashed every consumer of loadRegistry. The contract was false at ten
sites: JSON.stringify throws on a BigInt and on a circular structure, and every
enum/scalar rejection path interpolated the rejected value into its own rejection
message. Reading the value could throw too, before any message was built, via a
throwing getter or a Proxy get/ownKeys trap.

Not reachable through a capability.json today -- every ingestion path is a plain
JSON.parse of file text, which cannot express any of those shapes. Fixed anyway:
the contract is stated on an EXPORTED function, and a caller must not have to
re-derive today's reachability analysis to know whether it holds.

Two layers, because serialization safety alone is insufficient:
- describeValue() renders any value without throwing, so messages stay useful
  (a BigInt now reads "got: 10n" rather than degrading to a generic fallback).
- A structural try/catch around validateReviewerBody and collectReviewerWarnings
  makes the guarantee absolute rather than argued, covering read-time throws that
  fire before any message exists.

The same review found the property test guarding this contract was FALSE
CONFIDENCE, which is the more important half. fc.anything() at default
constraints emits no BigInt, no circular reference, no getter and no Proxy --
20,000 sampled draws produced zero of each -- so the test was named for a
contract its generator could not reach. Even withBigInt is insufficient under
whole-value fuzzing, because the defect needs an exotic value in a specifically
NAMED field and random key names never land on one.

The property is now field-targeted across all twelve reviewer fields, and a
companion test enumerates the shapes fast-check cannot generate at all
(BigInt, circular, throwing getter, symbol, function, null-prototype) across
scalar positions, array-element positions, and read-time traps.

Verified red-before-green: with the fix reverted both property tests fail; with
it restored all 119 pass.

9624167eec fix(#2810): accept the documented effortSurface axis on EoS registry entries (#2813)
* fix(#2810): accept the documented effortSurface axis on EoS registry entries

The EoS registry schema required an exact eight-key `interactions.axes`
object, while `docs/registries/README.md` and `CONTEXT.md` both documented
nine keys including `effortSurface`. An entry that faithfully mirrored its
upstream descriptor's `effortSurface` key was rejected outright.

`effortSurface` reached the runtime-descriptor vocabulary through ADR-1239
amendment #2481 (`HOST_INTEGRATION_AXES`), but the registry's hand-maintained
copy of that vocabulary never picked it up. The runtime-descriptor surface is
guarded by tests/host-integration-validator-parity.test.cjs; the registry copy
had no equivalent guard, which is what let the two drift.

Accept `effortSurface` as an OPTIONAL ninth axis validated against the
canonical ['argv','none'] rather than a required one: registry entries mirror
their upstream registry/eos-entry.json byte-for-byte, so requiring it would
retroactively invalidate every entry published before the amendment.

Adds tests/registry-axes-parity.test.cjs, which asserts that every key shared
between the registry vocabulary and HOST_INTEGRATION_AXES has an identical
enum array, plus limit-1/limit/limit+1 boundary coverage on the axes key set.

Closes #2810

* test(#2810): fail when a canonical axis is added but never mirrored

The enum-equality assertion compares only keys the registry and
HOST_INTEGRATION_AXES already share, so it is blind to the exact drift that
produced #2810: a new canonical axis appears and the registry copy is never
told. Verified by simulation — mutating an enum is caught, adding a new
canonical key is not.

Assert instead that every HOST_INTEGRATION_AXES key is either modeled by the
registry or named in an explicit NOT_MODELLED allowlist (subagentToolkit and
isolation, both dispatch sub-fields the registry collapses into its free-form
dispatch summary). Adding a canonical axis now fails until someone decides
which bucket it belongs in. The allowlist is itself guarded against going
stale.

Refs #2810

* fix(#2810): harden the axis value lookup with the CodeQL barrier pattern

Both orthogonal reviews flagged the same line: `AXES[key] !== undefined`
is not an own-property test, and the bracket reads are shaped like a
prototype-pollution sink even though the unknown-key gate above provably
makes them unreachable.

Switch the presence test to `Object.hasOwn` and add the repo's inline
literal guards (`capability-state.cts:146-155`, "Prototype-pollution guard
(inline literal, CodeQL barrier)"), which CodeQL can follow where it cannot
follow the `.includes()` filter that actually does the work.

Behavior is unchanged — re-verified all five axes key-count shapes plus a
genuine own `__proto__` property built through JSON.parse (the shape a
third-party registry PR would submit): it is rejected as an unknown key and
Object.prototype is untouched.

1e3c995e6f fix(#2789): scope the emitted-drift ack to the diff that introduced it (#2803)
* fix(#2789): scope the emitted-drift ack to the diff that introduced it

Every input to `diffEmitted` is base-relative -- `baseline` vs `current`,
`changedPaths` from `git diff base...HEAD` -- except the ack set, which
was read absolutely, from the working tree only. A differential machine
consulting a non-differential input.

So `staleAcks` asks exactly one question, "did a delta consume you?", and
that cannot distinguish an ack that never explained anything (an
authoring mistake) from one whose ripple is now absorbed into the base
(the ack's SUCCESS condition). After merge an ack is in the second state
but reports as the first.

The trigger is ordinary. Actions sets GITHUB_BASE_REF on pull_request
events only, so a push to `next` falls through to origin/next -- the very
commit under test. Both sides build identical content, no deltas remain,
and every live ack is reported stale. PR #2768 acked a deliberate 40866
-> 42020 byte growth, was green on its own lane, and reddened `next` the
moment it merged. It also reds every PR branching off the poisoned base,
and since publish-emitted-baseline is gated on the test job, it blocked
baseline publication too.

Give the ack the base side it was missing. `diffEmitted` now takes
`baseAck` -- the same document at the base ref, via `readAckFileAtRef`.
An entry already present there is SPENT: it may no longer consume a delta
and is never reported stale, only surfaced as `spentAcks` for tidying. An
entry new or reworded in this diff stays live, and if nothing consumes it
that genuinely fails, with blame on the author who just wrote it.

This closes a hazard the IMPLEMENTATION named but could not prevent -- a
leftover ack silently pre-clearing the next ripple on its path. (ADR-2719
§3 asserted only that TOUCHING the file is the alarm; its residual-risk
list never covered pre-clearing, and §3 now carries an amendment.)
Verified against the two-PR laundering sequence -- land an innocuous ack,
then change the artifact -- which passed silently before and now fails on
both the hash pass and the size ratchet.

Three things the design has to get right, each of which was wrong first:

  - A read failure on the base document THROWS; only absence-at-the-ref
    returns null. Returning null on error LOOKS armed (every entry stays
    live) but a live entry's defining power is that it CONSUMES a delta,
    so null is armed on the staleness axis and DISARMED on consumption --
    silently the whole pre-#2789 gate. `git show` cannot tell absence
    from fault, so absence is established with `ls-tree`.
  - Re-arming a spent ack costs actual PROSE. Internal whitespace and the
    zero-width family collapse, and `runtime` is not compared: a doubled
    space, an invisible character, or a decorative field would otherwise
    re-arm an ack whose justification still describes the previous
    ripple, showing a reviewer nothing.
  - `baseAck` is REQUIRED once an ack declares entries -- omission is an
    error, not a silent "inherit nothing" -- so a dropped argument fails
    loudly instead of quietly restoring this bug with the suite green.

Because a corrupt document ON THE BASE is expensive (the loud base-side
failure reds every ack-carrying PR), scripts/lint-emitted-drift-ack.cjs
blocks one from landing. It is standalone rather than importing parseAck
-- scripts/ ships in the npm package and tests/ does not -- so a parity
test runs both surfaces over one corpus and fails on divergence; it
caught one immediately, a `null` document, now classed as policy rather
than schema. Deadlock is separately foreclosed: a tree carrying no ack
never reads the base, so the PR that DELETES a corrupt file still lands.

`readAckFileAtRef` takes an injected git runner so all four branches are
tested deterministically; it never executes in the remote runner, where
the real-tree test skips for want of a base ref. It also refuses an
option-shaped ref, since execFileSync's array form stops shell
metacharacters but not git's own option parsing.

Rejected: skipping the differential when base == HEAD. It treats the
symptom, costs real coverage on the push-to-next lane, and does nothing
about the downstream PRs the same flaw was reddening.

Deletes the now-spent tests/emitted-drift-ack.json, and updates the
CONTEXT.md canon and ADR-2719 §3: presence is no longer the alarm -- a
LIVE entry is, and a spent one is inert.

a8b40fa53f fix(#2547): fail closed on crashing and path-shadowing Kimi payloads (#2595)
* fix(#2547): fail closed on a malformed Kimi edit list in normalizeKimiPayload

`normalizeKimiPayload` rebuilt old_string/new_string with
`String(e.old ?? '')`. `??` guards the value, not the dereference, so a
nullish entry in a Kimi `edit` list threw a TypeError at the top of the
handler, before any tool dispatch. Each guard's outer
`catch { process.exit(0) }` swallowed that crash and emitted the same exit
code as "nothing to report" — turning a should-BLOCK call into a silent
allow.

Two hard blocks were bypassable:

  * gsd-worktree-path-guard's cross-git-root write block (#260) — a
    StrReplaceFile write whose path resolves to a different git root is
    correctly blocked with a well-formed edit list, and silently allowed
    with `edit: [null]`.
  * gsd-workflow-guard's force-add block on agent-* branches — a Shell
    payload carrying a spurious `edit: [null]` field walks past it. The
    Bash path never reads `edit`; the field only has to be present to
    trigger the crash.

Fixed with `e?.old` / `e?.new`, landed identically in all five copies so
tests/kimi-guard-normalization-parity.test.cjs's byte-identity assertion
still holds.

The crash boundary is nullish specifically, not "non-object": `('x').old`
and `(7).old` are legal reads yielding undefined, so string/number entries
never threw. Both are kept as controls proving the fix did not change
their behaviour.

Regression coverage is folded into the owning suites per CONTRIBUTING.md
(no new bug-* files). Negative-controlled: the nullish cases exit 0
against pre-fix guards and exit 2 after, with positive controls (the
equivalent well-formed payload blocks) and negative controls (in-worktree
writes and benign commands still pass) alongside.

Refs #2547

* test(#2547): exercise the production Kimi payload shape in read-guard tests

The `#2304: Kimi tool vocabulary engages the read guard` cases send
payloads with no `session_id`, and runHook injects none. A live Kimi turn
always carries one — kimi-cli's hooks/events.py `_base()` sets it
unconditionally, and soul/kimisoul.py calls `set_session_id()` at the top
of every turn before tool dispatch, so the ContextVar's `default=""` never
reaches a tool call.

gsd-read-guard treats any non-empty `data.session_id` as "Claude Code
already enforces read-before-edit, skip" (#2520). So the advisory those
tests assert fires only for a shape production never sends: the tests were
green, and the guard was dormant on Kimi. A sibling #2520 case in the same
file asserts the skip when `session_id` IS present — both passed, and the
production shape hits the skip.

Two changes, test-validity only:

  * Retitle the #2304 block to say what it proves — the tool VOCABULARY is
    normalized through to the Write/Edit branch — with a comment warning
    not to read it as production evidence.
  * Add a #2547 block asserting behaviour against the production shape
    (session_id populated), including a case that pins the delta directly:
    the same payload fires without session_id and is silent with it.

The #2547 block characterizes a known gap; it does not endorse it.
Redesigning how the guard discriminates runtimes is explicitly out of
scope for #2547. If a later change makes the advisory fire on Kimi these
tests are supposed to fail — update them then rather than dropping the
coverage.

Refs #2547

* docs(#2547): scope the Kimi guard-engagement claim to what Kimi enforces

#2518 engaged the guards' Kimi matchers and the release notes describe the
result as "All seven guard hooks now engage on Kimi", singling out the
prompt-injection read scanner as "the security-relevant guard" taken "from
silently dormant to engaged". That is not achievable for the scanner at
the emit layer.

gsd-read-injection-scanner.js is a PostToolUse hook, and kimi-cli's
dispatch never inspects PostToolUse hook results: src/kimi_cli/soul/
toolset.py awaits PreToolUse and honours `result.action == "block"`, but
fires PostToolUse via asyncio.create_task() and returns the ToolResult
without awaiting it — the done_callback only retrieves the task's own
exception. So no output shape the scanner emits can block or flag a Kimi
tool call, and `security.injection_blocking` cannot take effect there.
Reshaping the scanner's output would not change this; the enforcement gap
is in kimi-cli's PostToolUse handling, which is out of scope here.

This corrects the claim rather than the code — there is no gsd-core emit
fix that would make it true:

  * .changeset/2304-kimi-guard-tool-name.md — the fragment is unreleased,
    so it would otherwise ship this as a CHANGELOG security claim.
    Headline narrowed to "normalize Kimi's payload shape" and a scope
    paragraph added naming what actually blocks on Kimi (the two
    PreToolUse blocks) versus what cannot.
  * docs/migration/kimi-to-kimi-code.md — the scanner was listed under
    "Every GSD `PreToolUse` guard"; it is PostToolUse. Corrected, and the
    "What about the dormant guards?" section now splits enforceable from
    not-enforceable instead of saying Phase 0 "fixed all seven".
  * hooks/gsd-read-injection-scanner.js — the same scope note in the
    file's own Kimi rationale comment, where the next contributor to touch
    the normalization will actually read it. Comment only; the shared
    normalization block is untouched and byte-identity still holds.

* chore(#2547): regenerate golden install-parity fixtures for the guard fix

The golden install-parity fixtures record a content hash per installed
file, so changing the five guard hooks changes their hashes across every
runtime's fixture. Regenerated with the full sweep (build, gen:golden,
size:baseline) rather than a single generator — running gen:golden alone
leaves tests/workflow-size-baseline.json stale and loses CI jobs to a
regeneration that looked complete.

The size baselines came out unchanged (no workflow or agent bodies
touched) and the hash delta is confined to exactly the five guards:
gsd-prompt-guard, gsd-read-guard, gsd-read-injection-scanner,
gsd-workflow-guard, gsd-worktree-path-guard.

Refs #2547

* fix(#2547): guard the String() coercion in normalizeKimiPayload too

Found by adversarial review of the first commit, then reproduced against
pristine next: `e?.old` closes the nullish dereference but leaves a second
route to the same crash-to-allow.

`{"toString": null}` is valid JSON, and coercing it throws
`TypeError: Cannot convert object to primitive value` — so an edit entry
that IS a well-formed object still crashes normalization, still lands in
the outer `catch { process.exit(0) }`, and still downgrades a should-BLOCK
call to a silent allow. Confirmed on both hard blocks:

  {"tool_name":"Shell","tool_input":{
     "command":"git add -f secret.env",
     "edit":[{"old":{"toString":null},"new":"x"}]}}      -> exit 0 (was)

  {"tool_name":"StrReplaceFile","tool_input":{
     "path":"<main-repo>/src/index.ts",
     "edit":[{"old":{"toString":null},"new":"x"}]}}      -> exit 0 (was)

Both exit 2 now.

The coercion is wrapped rather than replaced with a `typeof === 'string'`
test on purpose. Degrading only the non-coercible entry keeps
stringification identical for every value that CAN coerce — numbers,
arrays, plain objects — which matters because gsd-prompt-guard scans
new_string for injection patterns, and a `typeof` test would silently stop
scanning content that reaches that scan today (e.g. `new: ["ignore all
previous instructions"]` currently stringifies and is scanned). Verified:
zero behaviour change across string, number, bool, null, array-of-strings,
nested array, plain object and `__proto__`-keyed input; only the throwing
case changes, from crash to ''.

Regression cases are negative-controlled against the previous commit: the
four new coercion-trap tests fail with only the `e?.old` fix in place and
pass with this one.

* chore(#2547): cover the String() coercion vector in the changeset

Refs #2547

* fix(#2547): make Kimi's `path` authoritative over a model-supplied `file_path`

normalizeKimiPayload copied Kimi's `path` into `file_path` only when
`file_path === undefined`, so any `file_path` the model chose to include won
outright. Every guard reads `file_path`; kimi-cli executes on `path`. The guard
therefore inspected one file while the write landed on another.

This bypass needs no crash. A payload pairing a cross-root `path` with a
spurious `file_path: ""` left gsd-worktree-path-guard reading an empty string
and exiting 0, while the identical write without the extra key blocked — the
same cross-root write the #260 block exists to catch. The shadowing also
preserved a non-string `file_path` (`[]`), which threw inside that guard's
path.isAbsolute() and reached its outer `catch { process.exit(0) }`: the same
crash-to-allow the rest of #2547 closes, reached through the guard's own read
rather than through normalization.

Reachability is not speculative. kimi-cli's soul/toolset.py json-parses the
model's raw tool arguments and passes that dict verbatim as tool_input to
PreToolUse, performing typed validation only later inside tool.call() — after
the hook has already decided. So the model controls extra keys in tool_input at
the moment the guard runs. kimi-cli's file tools carry no `file_path` field at
all (src/kimi_cli/tools/file/write.py, replace.py), so a `file_path` in a Kimi
payload is always model-supplied.

`path` now wins outright. Overwriting can only ever narrow what a guard inspects
to the path that will actually be written, so it cannot under-block.
Normalization returns early for non-Kimi tool names, so the native Claude Code
contract (file_path governs) is untouched.

Landed identically across all five inlined copies; the byte-identity assertion
in tests/kimi-guard-normalization-parity.test.cjs enforces that.

* test(#2547): cover the file_path-shadowing bypass in the #260 guard suite

Four cases, each exiting 0 (bypass) against the pre-fix guards: a spurious
empty-string file_path, an in-worktree decoy file_path, and non-string
file_path values (array and object) that additionally crashed
path.isAbsolute() into the outer catch.

Two controls that are not bypass cases and matter as much:

  - an in-worktree write carrying a cross-root DECOY file_path must still exit
    0. Pre-fix this blocked, because the decoy won; the guard now follows the
    path kimi-cli executes on in both directions, so the fix narrows what is
    inspected without over-blocking.

  - a native Claude Edit (no `path` field) must still block on file_path alone.
    normalizeKimiPayload returns early for non-Kimi tool names, and this pins
    that the non-Kimi contract did not move. It passes both pre- and post-fix
    by design.

Negative-controlled: run against the pre-fix hooks, the four bypass cases and
the decoy control fail, and the native-Claude control passes.

* test(#2547): back the totality claim with property tests over fc.anything()

This PR claims the fix "makes normalization total over the inputs JSON can
express" — a for-all guarantee — while the tests backing it are example-based,
each shape added reactively after a crash was found by hand (the String()
coercion trap was itself found by adversarial review after the first commit
shipped). Example-based tests cannot substantiate a for-all claim; they record
the counterexamples someone happened to think of.

Four properties over fc.anything(), which is exactly the JSON-expressible
domain the claim names:

  (a) totality over any tool_input
  (b) totality over any edit list — the crash surface both #2547 fixes targeted
  (c) `path` always wins over any model-supplied `file_path` (the review blocker
      invariant: a guard reading file_path can never be aimed at a file other
      than the one kimi-cli writes)
  (d) a non-Kimi tool_name passes through untouched — the native Claude contract

normalizeKimiPayload is inlined per hook with no runtime binding, so there is
nothing to require. The block is extracted from hook source and evaluated via
the SAME extraction contract kimi-guard-normalization-parity.test.cjs uses, so
a source edit that breaks one breaks both instead of silently testing a stale
block. An extraction floor test fails loudly if the extraction yields a no-op.

Non-vacuous, and checked rather than assumed: against pristine pre-#2547 `next`,
(a), (b) and (c) all FAIL and (d) passes. (a) needed the fix that makes it
meaningful — a bare fc.anything() for tool_input passed even against the live
defect, because arbitrary generation essentially never invents the `edit` key
the crash lives behind, so the generator is biased onto the keys normalization
actually reads and unioned back with unbiased input.

* chore(#2547): cover the shadowing vector in the changeset and regen goldens

Golden install-parity churn is hash-only, on exactly the five hook files this
round changed. gsd-phase-boundary.sh is deliberately unchanged.

* test(#2547): make the property test able to kill the coercion mutant

Review Major 1: the generative test added to stop the NEXT counterexample
could not kill the one it was written for. Reproduced the reviewer's matrix
independently — against the shipped generator, a mutant reverting `editText`
to the unguarded `String(v ?? '')` passed all four properties.

Cause, confirmed by measurement: the edit-array ENTRIES were bare
`fc.anything()`, which essentially never invents an `old`/`new` key, so
`e?.old` was always undefined and `String(undefined ?? '')` never coerced
anything. That is the same vacuity the file's own comment describes one level
up, reproduced one level down.

The review's prescribed fix — bias the entry onto `{old, new}` — is necessary
but NOT sufficient, and this is the part worth recording: measured over 20,000
draws, bare `fc.anything()` yields a non-coercible value 3 times (0.015%). At
`numRuns: 200` an `old` key holding a hostile value essentially never
co-occurs, and the mutant survives the entry bias too. Both levels need
biasing — the entry onto the keys normalization reads, and the VALUE onto the
shape that actually throws.

`{"toString": <non-function>}` is that shape and stays inside the
"JSON-expressible" domain the claim names (JSON.parse produces it verbatim);
`fc.anything({withNullPrototype: true})` would also kill the mutant but widens
the domain past what the PR asserts, so it is not used.

Verified: M1 now dies at every seed tried (1/7/42/99/4242/31337, failing
within 3-31 cases) while HEAD stays green at all of them.

Also closes three coverage gaps the review listed as nits — properties (e)
totality over any JSON value as the WHOLE payload, (f) the tool_output →
tool_response mapping (including that an existing tool_response is not
clobbered), and (g) an empty edit list reconstructing nothing.

Property (e) required a one-line fix in the normalizer itself: `JSON.parse
('null')` is null, and null/primitive payloads threw on the `data.tool_name`
read — falsifying the "total over the inputs JSON can express" claim. Harmless
in practice (the throw landed in the same fail-open catch as the exit 0 it now
takes deliberately), but the claim should be true as stated. Landed
byte-identically across all five copies.

Refs #2547

* fix(#2547): make old_string/new_string authoritative, not merely defaulted

Review Major 2: the shadowing class the prior round's BLOCKER closed for
`file_path` survived one field over. `old_string`/`new_string` were still
reconstructed only `if (input.<field> === undefined)`, so a model-supplied
value won.

The argument for making `path` authoritative applies verbatim here.
kimi-cli's StrReplaceFile schema is `path` + `edit` only
(src/kimi_cli/tools/file/replace.py @ 4a550ef) and carries no
`old_string`/`new_string` at all, so either key appearing in a Kimi payload is
always model-supplied — exactly like `file_path`.

Verified end-to-end against the reviewer's payload: a cross-root write
carrying `new_string: ""` alongside an injected `edit[].new` left
gsd-prompt-guard reading '' and returning at its `if (!content)` guard, so the
injection advisory never fired and the reconstructed content was never
scanned. `new_string: null` behaved identically. Negative-controlled: both
produce empty output against pre-fix source and fire the advisory after.

Chose unconditional reconstruction over the offered `typeof` alternative
deliberately. A type test closes `""`/`null` but leaves the interesting case
open — a benign NON-EMPTY decoy (`new_string: "chore: tidy"`) shadows just as
effectively and passes any type test. The new suite includes that case
specifically; it is what discriminates between the two candidate fixes.

Also pins the kimi-cli SHA in the authoritative-path comment, as requested —
it cited file names with no version while the issue pins 4a550ef.

Landed byte-identically across all five inlined copies; the parity test's
byte-identity assertion holds.

Refs #2547

* fix(#2547): close the non-string file_path crash-to-allow at every read site

Review Major 3: the crash-to-allow was closed only as a side effect of `path`
masking the bad value, while the changeset read as though it were closed
outright. Confirmed both of the review's reachability claims: `[]`/`{}`/`42`
are truthy, survive the `!rawFilePath` early-out, and throw inside
path.isAbsolute() into the outer `catch { process.exit(0) }`; and normalization
returns early for native Claude Code payloads (KIMI_TOOL_NAMES has no 'Edit'
entry), so `{"tool_name":"Edit","tool_input":{"file_path":[]}}` reached it
untouched — this guard's original #260 surface.

Reproduced on a real fixture: string cross-root path exits 2, the identical
payload with `[]` or `{}` exits 0.

Swept the class rather than the instance. Five more untyped read sites across
four other hooks, each one line from a type-strict or method-dependent call.
Census of what each can actually do:

  gsd-worktree-path-guard.js:173  BLOCKS  -> live bypass (the review's finding)
  gsd-prompt-guard.js:128         scanner -> silenced the injection scan, the
                                             same outcome as Major 2 by another
                                             route; verified empirically
  gsd-workflow-guard.js:206       advisory only (its exit-2 is the Bash
                                             force-add path, which reads
                                             `command`, not `file_path`)
  gsd-read-guard.js:141           advisory only
  gsd-read-injection-scanner.js:213  advisory only
  gsd-windsurf-pre-write.js:75    ALREADY TYPED — the shape adopted here

All six now read typed. The workflow-guard site keeps its truthiness fallback
(`(typeof x === 'string' && x) || ...`) because a bare type test would let an
empty `file_path` shortcut the `path` fallback.

Also declares one swept hit NOT fixed: `gsd-workflow-guard.js:175` reads
`command` untyped on a genuinely blocking path. Same shape, but not
exploitable — unlike file_path/path there is no second field carrying the
executable value, so a non-string command cannot smuggle a real `git add -f`
past the block. Left alone rather than widen this PR into the Bash path.

The regression gate is a SOURCE-level invariant, not a behavioural one, and
that is deliberate: the fixed read and the crashing read are black-box
identical — both end at exit 0, one via the catch and one via the early-out.
A test asserting exit 0 on a non-string payload passes against the unfixed
code, which is the same false-green the review flagged in the existing
`['non-string file_path (array)', []]` cases. Repeating it one level up would
be no better. tests/kimi-guard-typed-payload-reads.test.cjs fails if any hook
regresses to an untyped read (negative-controlled: it reports all five
pre-fix sites with correct file:line).

The behavioural cases requested — non-string file_path with NO `path` key —
are added to worktree-safety.test.cjs and labelled honestly as documenting the
explicit fail-open rather than detecting a revert.

Also states the relative-path premise (review Minor 5) at the early-out that
depends on it: "always safe" holds only while every runtime reaching there
resolves relative paths against the tool CWD. Claude Code satisfies it by
requiring absolute paths; kimi-cli's resolution behaviour is NOT verified here
and is recorded as an unverified premise rather than an asserted bypass.

* docs(#2547): correct the changeset's closed-claim and fold the misattributed note

Review Major 3 also flagged the fragment: it said the non-string vector "threw
inside that guard's path.isAbsolute() ... `path` now wins outright", which
reads as closed when it was closed only conditionally. Rewritten to state what
is now true — closed unconditionally at all six read sites — and extended with
the Major 2 finding.

Review Minor 6 (the #2547 scope note living in a `pr: 2518` fragment) turns out
to understate the problem. Rendering the changelog and re-parsing it shows the
note is not merely misattributed — it is DROPPED. serializeChangelog emits each
fragment as a single `- ` bullet, and parseChangelog terminates a bullet at the
first non-continuation line, so everything after a blank line is lost on
re-parse. Audited all 44 fragments: exactly one was lossy —
2304-kimi-guard-tool-name.md, losing 656 of 1730 characters, i.e. precisely
that second paragraph. Folding it into this PR's fragment fixes the
attribution and the silent loss together; all 44 now round-trip losslessly.

That same mechanism is why the remaining nit — reformat this fragment's
~2,000-character paragraph for readability — is NOT applied. A paragraph break
or a bullet list would silently truncate the entry at the first blank line
(verified for both). The single-paragraph form is load-bearing under the
current serializer, not an authoring preference. Worth its own issue; noted in
the PR thread rather than worked around here.

* chore(#2547): regenerate golden install parity after rebase onto next

Rebased onto `next` @ 9138271b (the PR had gone BEHIND by 20 commits; the
review's closing nit asked for it). The replay was CLEAN — no conflicts — and
that is exactly why this commit exists.

These fixtures are one key per installed file, so when the PR pins five hook
entries and the base rewrites others', the two edits land on different lines of
the same JSON. Git merges them silently and correctly AS TEXT while attesting
nothing about whether the merged hashes are still valid. Verified rather than
assumed: per-key equivalence against the old base showed the base had moved 22
of the 27 keys this PR pins in every runtime fixture, and
tests/golden-install-parity.test.cjs failed on 10 runtimes immediately after the
clean rebase. A push without this regen would have gone out red.

Regenerated with `npm run build && npm run gen:golden` under a throwaway
HOME/CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR (the generators invoke the installer); live-profile
canary clean before and after.

Contamination check: every key differing from the base's committed fixture
resolves to a file this PR actually touches — the five guard hooks, under both
the `hooks/` and `.kimi/hooks/` install layouts, and nothing else. Derived from
the PR's changed-file set rather than a feature-name filter, which is what
would have mislabelled the registration surfaces.

Size baselines re-checked and NOT regenerated: this PR moves no workflow or
agent, and the base's own baselines are current (agent-size-budget,
workflow-size-budget, workflow-size, update-size-baseline all green).

Refs #2547

* chore(#2547): allowlist the field-shadowing security test in the injection scan

The new regression suite tripped the repo's own prompt-injection scan — a test
for the injection scanner setting off the injection scanner.

The fixture has to be a real injection phrase for the test to assert anything:
it is precisely the content gsd-prompt-guard must still scan once a
model-supplied `new_string` can no longer shadow the reconstructed
`edit[].new`. Weakening it to a benign string would make the suite vacuous.

Allowlisted rather than obfuscated, because that is this repo's established
convention for the class — tests/read-injection-scanner.security.test.cjs,
tests/security-prompt-injection.security.test.cjs,
tests/prompt-injection-scan.security.test.cjs and four others carry real
payloads as test DATA and are listed for exactly this reason. Splitting the
literal to dodge the grep would work but would make this one file inconsistent
with its five peers and leave the next reader wondering why.

Verified with the CI invocation itself (`scripts/prompt-injection-scan.sh
--diff upstream/next`): 26 files scanned, 0 findings. The .cjs codebase scan
does not cover tests/ and is unaffected (73 tests green).

e276cc7f00 enhance(#2778): make the size-ratchet failure name its own remedy (#2780)
* fix(#2778): exempt intentionally-absent paths from the glossary gate

check-glossary-refs asserts that every backticked tests/ token in
CONTEXT.md resolves on disk. tests/emitted-drift-ack.json (ADR-2719
section 3) is absent on a healthy next BY DESIGN — it appears only
inside a PR that needs it, which is what makes touching it the alarm.

It passed before only by accident of backtick pairing: CONTEXT.md's
RULESET entries are themselves backtick-wrapped and contain backticks,
so the token happened to fall outside a code span. Any edit that
shifted the parity exposed it. A gate that passes by luck is not
passing.

The exemption is exact, not a prefix hole: a sibling missing tests/
path still fails, and a test locks that.

* feat(#2778): make the size-ratchet failure name its own remedy

The growth branch stated a requirement and withheld the means of
satisfying it: no ack file named, no schema, no key format, and no
do-not-regenerate line — so the likeliest guess was to hunt for a
baseline that #2724 deleted. Observed live on #2543.

All remediation now comes from one frozen REMEDIATION export whose
example document is rendered from ACK_VERSION, so the taught schema
cannot drift from the schema parseAck accepts. A round-trip test feeds
the printed document back through parseAck.

The report is now built as a typed IR (buildReport) that formatReport
renders, so tests assert on structure rather than prose, per
CONTRIBUTING.md's raw-text-matching rule.

Two defects found and fixed inline while building:
- diffEmitted's validation early-return omitted newFileCapExceeded
  while formatReport reads its length, so the branch that reports a
  failed git diff threw a TypeError instead of naming the problem.
- Printing one complete ack document per failing branch made each read
  as the whole file, so pasting the second over the first silently lost
  an acknowledgment. One document now covers the whole report.

16e59d0db5 fix(#2691): repair seven dangling references in the ADR corpus and contributor docs (#2692)
* fix(#2691): repair five dangling references in the ADR corpus and contributor docs

Found by the 2026-07-24 ADR corpus audit; each mechanism re-reproduced live
against next @ 3eb1cede before filing.

1. docs/adr/1239-gsd-embeddable-orchestration-engine.md linked the
   host-integration capability matrix as `reference/...` from inside
   docs/adr/, which resolves to the nonexistent docs/adr/reference/.
   Three occurrences (the #2584 amendment added two after the audit).
   All now `../reference/...`.

2. src/plan-drift-guard.cts cited docs/adr/0022-source-grounding-drift-guard.md,
   a path that has never existed (git log --all --diff-filter=A returns
   nothing). Corrected to docs/adr/22-plan-drift-guard.md. Comments survive
   tsc and ADR-457 builds at publish, so the bad citation shipped to users --
   verified by grepping the compiled gsd-core/bin/lib/plan-drift-guard.cjs.

3. CONTRIBUTING.md and docs/contributor-standards.md illustrated the ADR
   naming convention with issue #3485 -- a pre-rename number from the
   predecessor repo (get-shit-done-redux) that does not resolve in
   open-gsd/gsd-core. It is dangling, not invented: ADR filenames 3524 and
   3660 show pre-rename numbering reached the 3000s. The worked example now
   uses #2264, which resolves; the one genuinely historical mention is
   annotated rather than rewritten.

4. docs/adr/857-capability-system.md's H1 carried a stale [Proposed] bracket
   contradicting its "Accepted -- ratified 2026-07-17" Status field.
   gen-adr-index.cjs:213 strips the bracket rather than comparing it, so the
   contradiction was invisible to the gate; it is also the only in-repo
   consumer, so removal leaves the rendered index byte-identical.

5. gen-adr-index.cjs's back-link comment still described ADR-857 as Proposed
   and its claim over ADR-0011/ADR-58 as a supersession. Both were restated
   at ratification (the claim became Subsumes; the reciprocals were added).

Regression coverage folds into tests/adr-index-gate.test.cjs rather than a
new bug-* file (lint-regression-test-names): four cases covering link
resolution, H1-bracket-vs-Status agreement, the plan-drift-guard citation,
and the naming worked example. All four fail at the pre-fix tree.

No behavior change. lint:ci exit 0; adr-index-gate 35/35; index regenerates
unchanged (67 ADRs).

* chore(#2691): add the required pr: field to the changeset fragment

docs-lint rejected the fragment with fail_malformed_fragment / missing_pr: the
frontmatter needs both `type:` and `pr:`. The fragment was hand-authored before
the PR existed, so it carried only `type:`.

Note for future work: neither lint:docs nor lint:changeset is part of the
lint:ci chain, so a green lint:ci does not cover these two CI checks. Both were
run directly before this push:
  ok docs-lint: ok_no_triggering_fragments
  ok changeset-lint: ok_fragment_present

* fix(#2691): drop the false branch clause and repair two more matrix links

Review round 2 on #2692, both blocking findings.

F1: the worked example at CONTRIBUTING.md:101 asserted
'on branch docs/2264-golden-parity-redesign'. That branch never existed --
the ADR file carries the epic number (#2264) while the branch and commit
carry the Phase-0 sub-issue number (#2265, PR #2270, branch
docs/2265-golden-parity-adr). #2264 is therefore the one ADR in the corpus
where filename and branch numbers deliberately disagree, making it the worst
available illustration of 'the issue number becomes your prefix and your
branch'. The branch clause is dropped; the surviving claim is verified
(#2264 is open-and-approved with approved-enhancement, and the file is
2264-golden-parity-redesign.md).

F3: docs/how-to/install-on-your-runtime.md:460 and :476 linked the
host-integration capability matrix as a bare filename from inside
docs/how-to/, which resolves to the nonexistent
docs/how-to/host-integration-capability-matrix.md. Same defect class as
repair #1 in this PR. Both now use ../reference/..., matching the form
already used by the sibling add-or-update-a-host-integration.md:167.

* fix(#2691): take the review minors -- anchors, bracket, ADR path, token order

Review round 2 on #2692, non-blocking findings.

F4: ADR-1239:198,206 read '[capability matrix §codex](...matrix.md)' -- the
link text promised a section, the target carried no fragment. '## codex'
exists at docs/reference/host-integration-capability-matrix.md:85, and the
repo already uses that form (#zcode, #pi in the how-to).

F5: docs/adr/857-capability-system.md:1 had its stale [Proposed] bracket
dropped rather than corrected, making 857 the only ratified ADR with no H1
bracket while four other Accepted ADRs carry one. Restored as [Accepted],
which satisfies the H1-vs-Status invariant and preserves consistency. No
recorded rule mandates the bracket, so this is style, not contract.

F7: docs/CONFIGURATION.md:808 cited adr/1244-runtime-capability-registry-
overlay.md; the actual file is adr/1244-capability-ecosystem.md. Same defect
class as repair #2, one directory over.

F8: test 33 resolved the Status token with STATUS_TOKENS.find(), which
matches by array order rather than by position in the line. Since
STATUS_TOKENS[0] === 'Accepted', a future '- **Status:** Superseded by ADR-X
(was Accepted ...)' paired with an H1 [Superseded] would have reported a
false mismatch. Now resolved by earliest index in the line. No ADR has that
shape today, so this is latent; ADR-857's two-token Status line resolves to
'Accepted' under both the old and new rule.

Changeset updated: five repairs -> seven, adding the two how-to matrix links
and the CONFIGURATION.md ADR path, plus the (#2691) issue backlink that 46
of the other 47 fragments carry.

Not addressed here: F2 (widening the guard to resolve anchors and walk docs/
recursively) is filed separately as #2704, approved-enhancement.

1c1af70a4b refactor(#2724): delete the committed golden fixtures and size baselines (#2767)
* test(#2724): delete golden-install-parity fixtures, test, and generator

Removes the 19 committed path->hash manifests, the two per-file size
baselines, tests/golden-install-parity.test.cjs, and
scripts/gen-golden-install-parity-zcode.cjs. These were pure functions
of the source tree (ADR-2719); the differential attribution check
(tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs + tests/emitted-provenance.test.cjs)
is now the sole gate for emitted-artifact propagation.

tests/fixtures/install-tree/*.json and tests/golden-install-tree.test.cjs
are unchanged (ADR-2719 section 7 exception).

Follow-up commits fix the resulting bookkeeping: scripts/ci-test-scope.cjs's
existence guard, .gitattributes, package.json scripts, the emitted-provenance
totality guard's IO, the differential check's baseline acquisition, CI
wiring to publish/restore the baseline artifact, and docs.

* refactor(#2724): make the differential attribution check self-sufficient

Three fixes required to delete the golden fixtures without breaking CI:

- scripts/ci-test-scope.cjs: remove tests/golden-install-parity.test.cjs
  from the three rules that named it. #2759's missingRuleTestFiles guard
  hard-throws at module load if a rule names a test file absent from
  disk, which would break the changes job on every PR the moment the
  fixture-deletion commit landed.

- tests/helpers/emitted-provenance.cjs: loadManifests() read the
  committed golden fixture directory. With that directory deleted at
  every future ref, this would throw at module load forever, taking
  the Phase 2 totality guard down with it. Rebuilt from real installer
  spawns (MANIFEST_FAMILIES + runMinimalInstall + buildParityManifest),
  the same shape emitted-runtime.cjs's currentManifests() already uses.

- tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs / tests/helpers/emitted-runtime.cjs:
  the real-tree test's baseline acquisition swaps from
  baselineManifestsAtRef(base) (git show at a ref that no longer carries
  fixtures) to resolveBaseline()'s documented precedence: env, then the
  on-disk cache, then an in-job build. The build fallback
  (buildBaselineAtRef, new) checks out base into a throwaway git
  worktree and runs the new scripts/gen-emitted-baseline.cjs there --
  no npm ci needed, since bin/install.js and the test helper shells are
  Node-builtins-only. That script also publishes the baseline artifact
  from CI's push-to-next job (wired in a follow-up commit).

* refactor(#2724): retire the merge-driver bridge and per-file size baselines

The Phase 1 bridge (#2721) is retired now that the artifacts it guarded
are deleted: scripts/git-merge-regen-driver.cjs, its test, and the
'setup:merge-driver' npm script are removed, and the .gitattributes
merge=gsd-regen/linguist-generated block for the three deleted-path
globs is dropped. tests/fixtures/install-tree/*.json keeps its normal
merge behavior, unchanged (ADR-2719 section 7).

scripts/update-size-baseline.cjs and its test are removed: their sole
purpose was regenerating tests/workflow-size-baseline.json and
tests/agent-size-baseline.json, both deleted. The 'size:baseline' npm
script and its step in 'regen:derived' go with it. The per-file
baseline describe blocks in tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs and
tests/agent-size-budget.test.cjs are removed for the same reason; the
independent loose-tier hard caps are untouched. The differential
attribution check's size ratchet (tests/emitted-diff.cjs, already
shipped in #2723) is the replacement anti-creep mechanism.

'npm run gen:golden' is replaced by 'npm run gen:install-tree', which
keeps regenerating tests/fixtures/install-tree/*.json (the one artifact
family ADR-2719 section 7 keeps committed); tests/golden-install-tree.test.cjs's
error messages point at the new command name.

tests/golden-parity-single-source.test.cjs's anti-divergence guard
(#2266) is retargeted from the two deleted golden-parity consumers to
their two replacements (tests/helpers/emitted-runtime.cjs and
tests/helpers/emitted-provenance.cjs), which import buildParityManifest
the same way — the divergence risk the guard exists for is unchanged.

Also wires CI: a new publish-emitted-baseline job runs
scripts/gen-emitted-baseline.cjs after a push to next and caches the
result keyed on the sha; the test and test-full jobs restore that cache
on pull_request events, keyed on the PR's base sha, and export
GSD_EMITTED_BASELINE for tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs's real-tree
test to pick up.

* docs(#2724): flip ADR-2719 to Accepted and update contributor docs

Status: Proposed -> Accepted. Regenerated docs/adr/README.md index.

CONTRIBUTING.md, docs/TESTING-SUITES.md, and CONTEXT.md (RULESET.
EMITTED_ATTRIBUTION, RULESET.WORKFLOW_SIZE_BUDGET, RULESET.
AGENT_SIZE_BUDGET, and the Emitted Artifact Provenance glossary entry)
no longer point at the deleted golden-install-parity fixtures, size
baselines, gen:golden, UPDATE_GOLDEN, or the setup:merge-driver /
git-merge-regen-driver.cjs bridge. Editing shipped content now
requires zero manual fixture regeneration, documented against the
differential attribution check instead of the deleted commands.

* docs(#2724): add changeset for removed golden-parity commands

* fix(#2724): drop stale scripts/update-size-baseline.cjs glossary ref

check-glossary-refs.cjs verifies every backtick-wrapped scripts/*.cjs
token in CONTEXT.md resolves to a real file. The RULESET.
EMITTED_ATTRIBUTION rewrite named the deleted script inside backticks,
which the checker reads as a live reference, not historical prose.

* test(#2724): retarget ci-test-scope tests off the deleted golden test

tests/ci-test-scope.test.cjs asserted specific RULES entries select
tests/golden-install-parity.test.cjs, and that every rule selecting it
also selects both emitted gates. Both premises broke when the golden
test was deleted (#2724): the deleted filename never re-appears in
targeted_tests, and there was no longer a third file for the gates to
travel alongside. Retargeted the two selection describe blocks to
assert tests/emitted-provenance.test.cjs directly (the drift guard the
golden gate's rules were retargeted to), and simplified the third block
to assert the two emitted gates always travel together, without
reference to the golden filename.

* docs(#2724): repoint two contributor how-to guides at the differential check

Both guides told contributors to regenerate a baseline against
tests/golden-install-parity.test.cjs, which #2724 deletes. Repointed
at the differential attribution check (tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs,
ADR-2719), which needs no manual regeneration step.

* fix(#2724): repair phase6-capstone-conformance's deleted-baseline read

An independent orthogonal review caught a real regression this branch
introduced into a test file the branch's diff never touched:
tests/phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs read
tests/workflow-size-baseline.json (deleted earlier in this branch) with
no fallback, so the whole suite would throw ENOENT the moment this
branch landed. The test's actual intent — prove the host-loop workflow
files are real, tracked, non-empty docs — is preserved by asserting the
live byte count via the same shared counter (scripts/workflow-size.cjs)
the size guards already use, instead of a committed snapshot.

Also, from the same review: a stale doc comment in
scripts/workflow-size.cjs still named the deleted
scripts/update-size-baseline.cjs as a consumer, and
buildBaselineAtRef's cleanup in tests/helpers/emitted-runtime.cjs left
two fs.rmSync calls unguarded against masking the primary result/error,
inconsistent with the try/catch already wrapping the git cleanup beside
them. Both fixed. A doc comment was added to baselineFamilyNamesAtRef
explaining why it (and its siblings) are kept despite having no
production caller post-cutover — they still answer real questions
about refs that predate the cutover.

* fix(#2724): repair three real regressions found by remote verification

1. tests/emitted-provenance.test.cjs's two hostile-input tests
   (non-object manifest, unreadable fixture) drove loadManifests(tmp)
   and monkeypatched fs.readFileSync, both premised on the deleted
   fixture-directory read this branch already replaced with real
   installer spawns -- the negative assertions silently stopped firing.
   loadManifests() now accepts injected {families, install, build,
   clean} (defaulting to production values), giving the tests a real
   seam to drive a bad build result and a build failure through the
   ACTUAL loader instead of a reimplementation, and added coverage that
   clean() still runs on both paths.

2. .github/workflows/test.yml's two 'Export GSD_EMITTED_BASELINE'
   steps hardcoded shell: bash, which is wrong on windows-latest (native
   pwsh) and on test-full's macos-latest legs (native zsh per that job's
   own matrix) -- the repo's H1 shell policy (tests/policy-shell-pinning
   .test.cjs) caught it. Replaced the inline bash script with
   scripts/ci-export-emitted-baseline-env.cjs, a plain Node script: a
   bare 'node <path>' command line has no shell-specific syntax, so it
   runs correctly under bash, zsh, and pwsh without a shell override.

tests/phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs's deleted-baseline read
(caught by the same remote run, at a commit prior to this one) was
already fixed in d0c3b1242 and is not touched here; verified still
passing after these changes.

* fix(#2724): revive ADR-1610's new-file size cap inside the differential

An isolated review caught a real regression: deleting
tests/workflow-size-baseline.json silently dropped NEW_FILE_CAP
(ADR-1610 Decision point 3, the Codex project_doc_max_bytes anchor)
with no successor. tests/helpers/emitted-diff.cjs's size ratchet
already 'continue's past any file absent from sizeBaseline -- exactly
the files this cap exists to bound -- so a brand-new workflow file
sized 32,769-40,960 bytes passed CI clean and shipped, then risked
silent truncation at the Codex anchor at runtime. ADR-1610 is Accepted
and never referenced anywhere in this branch.

Fix: NEW_FILE_CAP=32768 revived inside emitted-diff.cjs's own
size-ratchet loop, keyed off the SAME hasOwnProperty(sizeBaseline,
name) signal the growth check already computes -- 'new' is exactly
'present in sizeCurrent, absent from sizeBaseline'. Not ack-able,
matching the tier hard caps it sits beside: the fix is extraction, not
an acknowledgment entry. Documented, disclosed narrowing: the pure
differential module cannot see XL_WORKFLOWS/LARGE_WORKFLOWS tiering
(tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs's classification), so a
legitimately large new file must extract rather than tier in, one
release earlier than an existing file would need to. ADR-1610 itself is
left unamended -- this restores its decision rather than re-litigating
it.

Also fixes a stale comment plus a redundant real 19-installer-spawn
assertion left over from the pre-injection-seam version of
tests/emitted-provenance.test.cjs's build-failure test, and annotates
3 of 4 stale golden-fixture citations in
docs/reference/host-integration-capability-matrix.md as superseded
(the 4th is an accurate historical PR narrative, left alone).

* fix(#2724): repair three red CI defects on the golden-fixture cutover

Windows-only provenance false attribution (defect A): the `hooks-built`
provenance rule attributed `hooks/<name>.cmd` to itself. Those shims are
Windows-only installer output (ensureCodexHooksJsonSessionStart /
ensureCodexHooksJsonEvent, both in src/runtime-hooks-surface.cts) wrapping
the same-named `.js` hook — no `.cmd` file is ever tracked in the repo, so
the self-attribution resolved to a path that exists on no platform. Only
windows-latest ever emits the key, so this only failed there. Fixed by
special-casing `.cmd` inside the SAME `hooks-built` rule (not a dedicated
rule) — a dedicated rule would match zero paths, and therefore report as a
dead rule, on every non-Windows lane of the same totality guard. `sources`
already supported per-match functions; `transforms` is extended to support
the same shape so the attribution can vary by match within one rule.

Baseline bootstrap was structurally impossible (defect B): `buildBaselineAtRef`
ran `scripts/gen-emitted-baseline.cjs` from INSIDE the base-ref worktree, but
that script is new in this PR and therefore absent at any base ref that
predates it — every call failed closed with "Cannot find module". Fixed by
running the PR checkout's own generator against the worktree via a new `--dir`
parameter, decoupling "which copy of the script runs" from "which tree it
measures" (`currentManifests`/`currentSizes` gained a `repoRoot` override,
threaded down to `runMinimalInstall`'s new `installScript` override). This is
not just a bootstrap fix: a differential needs ONE measurement schema applied
to both sides, or the two stop being comparable the moment that schema
evolves — running each side's own copy would silently reintroduce that risk.
Verified locally end-to-end against real origin/next: resolves a valid
{version, sha, manifests, sizes} artifact with the correct sha and no leaked
worktree.

Changeset placeholder (defect C): `pr: 0` -> `pr: 2767`, which is what let
docs-lint evaluate the fragment for the first time; it already passes
(docs/TESTING-SUITES.md and friends already document the removed scripts).

Also fixed while in this file: an eslint no-unused-vars warning surfaced by
the changed lint run (unused `cleanup` import in
tests/emitted-provenance.test.cjs).

Added regression coverage for both A and B: a cross-platform spot-check that
drives the real hooks-built rule against `.cmd` keys directly (not through a
real Windows install), and a real-tree test that drives buildBaselineAtRef
against a base ref verified (via git cat-file) to lack the generator, both
skipping honestly rather than false-passing when their precondition does not
hold.

* fix(#2724): repair false .cmd byte-provenance and a permanently-skipping regression test

Two isolated-review findings on PR #2767:

- `hooks-built`'s `.cmd` branch attributed the Windows shim's bytes to the
  wrapped `hooks/<name>.js` script, asserting a byte-provenance link that
  does not exist — traced against buildCodexHookWindowsShimIR
  (src/runtime-hooks-surface.cts), only the script's NAME (a literal in that
  same file) flows into the .cmd bytes, never its content. Point `sources`
  at HOOKS_WINDOWS_SHIM_SRC instead, matching the code-derived convention
  used elsewhere in the table. Since `sources` is checked before
  `transforms` in the differential, the wrong mapping silently excused any
  .cmd byte movement caused by editing the wrapped .js file.

- The `buildBaselineAtRef` regression test skipped unless a resolvable base
  ref still lacked scripts/gen-emitted-baseline.cjs — true only until this
  PR merges, after which every base ref carries the file and the test skips
  forever with zero ongoing coverage. Rebuilt hermetically: synthesize the
  missing-generator condition in-place via git plumbing (a throwaway commit,
  child of HEAD, with just that one file removed from a scratch index),
  never touching the real working tree, HEAD, or index, and never depending
  on ambient history or remotes.

* fix(#2724): tolerate the remote runner's dubious-ownership git mount in the emitted baseline path

The runner container mounts the repo at a path owned by a different uid than
the process running the suite, so git's dubious-ownership protection refuses
every git operation there. GitHub Actions never hits this because
actions/checkout registers the workspace as safe automatically; this
runner's container does not.

buildBaselineAtRef is the production build-fallback the sole remaining
emitted gate depends on (resolveBaseline's in-job-build leg), not just a
test helper, so the fix is in the shared git() wrapper (emitted-runtime.cjs)
that every caller — resolveChangedPaths, resolveBase, buildBaselineAtRef's
worktree add/remove/prune, and the hermetic regression test added in the
prior commit — funnels through, plus gen-emitted-baseline.cjs's own
rev-parse (now reusing that same wrapper instead of a second execFileSync,
so the fix has one source of truth). Each call declares -c
safe.directory=<the exact directory it already operates on>, never the *
wildcard.

Audited every other helper on this surface (emitted-diff.cjs,
emitted-baseline.cjs, install-shared.cjs) for the same gap: none of them
shell out to git at all.

d04592de58 fix(#2758): select the emitted differential wherever golden-parity runs (#2759)
* fix(#2758): select the emitted differential wherever golden-parity runs

Add tests/emitted-provenance.test.cjs and tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs
to every scripts/ci-test-scope.cjs rule that already selects
tests/golden-install-parity.test.cjs, so the ADR-2719 dual-run differential
travels with the golden on the targeted CI lane instead of being selected by
no rule at all.

Add an independent module-load totality guard (missingRuleTestFiles) that
throws when any rule names a test file absent from disk -- the guard that
would have caught the post-Phase-4-cutover hole. It immediately surfaced
three pre-existing phantom entries left behind by consolidation epic #1969
(bug-3588/bug-10/bug-3683 filenames folded into other suites months ago but
never removed from the rule table); fixed in the same change rather than
deferred.

a613caaeef enhance(#2721): regenerating merge driver, regen:derived, and a name for the emitted-artifact family (#2730)
* test(#2721): failing-first suite for the gsd-regen driver and CONTEXT.md parity

Tests precede the implementation per the TDD gate. The driver module does not
exist yet, so tests/git-merge-regen-driver.test.cjs fails at require time; the
contributor-standards parity assertions fail against next as it stands today,
where the standards doc names two CONTEXT.md headings that have never existed.

Refs #2721

* feat(#2721): add the gsd-regen merge driver and regen:derived

The golden parity manifests and the two size baselines are pure functions of
the source tree, so their only correct merge is "recompute" -- something git's
ours/theirs interface cannot express. 140 of 143 conflicted-file instances
across the open PR queue are these files.

The driver deliberately does NOT regenerate. Four probes established that at
merge-driver time neither the working tree nor the index reflects the merge:
both hold the ours side, a file added by theirs does not exist yet, and
MERGE_HEAD is unwritten. Git also invokes the driver once per conflicted path
(20 here). A regenerating driver would therefore read the ours-side tree and
emit a plausible-but-wrong hash manifest -- worse than a conflict, because a
conflict is visible. So it accepts %A, runs zero subprocesses, records the
resolved paths, and prints one notice pointing at npm run regen:derived.
Staleness stays caught where it already was, by golden-install-parity in CI.

Every failure path degrades toward today's behaviour (a normal conflict).
install-tree is deliberately excluded per ADR-2719 section 7.

Also folded in, per the no-defer rule: workflow-size.cjs claimed .md files have
no eol=lf in .gitattributes; git check-attr shows eol: lf, set by .gitattributes
line 2 since #1088.

Refs #2721

* docs(#2721): document regen:derived and the gsd-regen merge driver

Adds the how-to a contributor actually reaches for when the generated parity
manifests or size baselines conflict, in both places they would look: the
merge-conflict path in CONTRIBUTING.md and the full guide in TESTING-SUITES.md,
including what the driver deliberately does not do (it does not clear GitHub's
CONFLICTING label, and it does not regenerate mid-merge).

Also scopes the new contributor-standards parity assertion to the doc's own
CONTEXT.md section. Its first run flagged `## Decision`, `## Consequences` and
`## Standards followed`, which the doc attributes to an ADR body and a PR body
rather than to CONTEXT.md -- a doc-wide extractor would have demanded CONTEXT.md
grow headings that do not belong to it.

Refs #2721

* fix(#2721): stop passing %P to the merge driver — shell injection

The isolated adversarial review found, and I independently reproduced, local
arbitrary command execution.

Git does not invoke a merge driver with an argv array. It substitutes %O %A %B
%L %P textually into the configured string and runs the whole thing through a
shell, and $(...) executes inside POSIX double quotes -- so quoting the
placeholder does not neutralise it. %O/%A/%B are git-generated temp names and
%L is an integer, but %P is the file's own path, chosen freely by any
contributor. A branch renaming a covered fixture to
evil$(touch PWNED_SENTINEL).json executed that command on the machine of every
maintainer who merged it, and the merge still reported success.

Fix removes the input rather than filtering it: %P is no longer registered, so
the driver receives no attacker-controlled argument at all. The marker records
a count instead of path names. A metacharacter filter would have been a guess
about shell grammar; passing nothing is a property. Re-ran the identical
exploit against the fixed command: nothing executed, conflict still resolved.

Two regressions guard it -- a platform-independent assertion that the
registered command carries no %P, and a real merge driven by the actual
planInstall output with a $(...) filename.

Also from review: CLI dispatch had no coverage at all (CONTRIBUTING's
"CLI and command routing" matrix), which is why runInstall/runStatus now take
{repoRoot} -- hardcoding REPO_ROOT was what made them untestable. Renamed
planResolution to resolveAndRecord since the plan* prefix promised purity it
did not have. Reconciled the eleven-vs-twelve generator count across
CONTEXT.md, CONTRIBUTING.md and the changeset.

Refs #2721

* test(#2721): scope safe.directory for the check-attr helper

The 66f4d85a run failed 11 assertions, all in the .gitattributes scoping block,
with "fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/work'". The test
container checks the repo out at a path its user does not own, so git refuses
check-attr outright. Everything else passed (27,185).

`check-attr` is a pure read of .gitattributes -- no hooks, no filters -- so the
exemption is scoped to that one invocation. It is deliberately NOT applied to
the driver's own production `git config` calls, which run in the user's own
clone and should keep the protection.

Refs #2721

* test(#2721): delete the stale assertion that the driver command carries %P

The plex2 run on bdfd0856 left exactly two failures, both this test: it still
asserted the pre-fix command string, i.e. the vulnerable behaviour. Deleted
rather than relaxed, per RULESET.TESTS.delete-bad-tests -- its useful half is
already covered, in both directions, by
registeredDriverCommandNeverPassesThePlaceholderForTheFilePath.

Refs #2721

* test(#2721): drive the end-to-end merges from the real planInstall output

The e2e helper hand-rolled its own driver registration, and still carried %P.
That meant the five real-git tests were not exercising the production command
string at all -- planInstall could drift and they would keep passing. They now
register exactly what a contributor gets from npm run setup:merge-driver.

9a76ca6783 fix(#1882): distinguish unterminated frontmatter from absent frontmatter (#2712)
* fix(#1882): distinguish unterminated frontmatter from absent frontmatter

extractFrontmatter returned {} both for a document with no frontmatter and for
one whose fence was opened and never closed, so a file truncated mid-write was
byte-identical to a legitimate no-metadata file. Verified live through
`gsd-tools frontmatter get`: both printed {} with exit 0 and nothing on stderr.

Per ADR-1411's "corrupt is not absent" amendment the {} return is preserved
exactly -- no caller may break -- and the cause is surfaced out-of-band as a
deduplicated, unconditional stderr diagnostic. That mechanism lands as a shared
leaf module rather than a per-site copy because three sibling findings in the
same epic need it identically; four hand-rolled copies of one behaviour is the
generative-fix-divergence defect class.

The discriminator is deliberately not "opened but never closed". A Markdown
document whose first line is a thematic break takes that exact branch, so
flagging on the missing fence alone reports corruption on good Markdown -- the
failure mode this class of check has shipped with before. The unterminated
region is instead run through extractFrontmatter's own parser (extracted as
parseYamlRegion so the probe and the real parse can never diverge) and reported
only when it yields at least one key.

Also folds an inline defect found while working: src/config-loader.cts carried
two NUL bytes in the JSDoc added by this epic's Phase 1 (3eb1cede2), making it
the only non-text file under src. file(1) reported it as data and text tools
silently skipped it, defeating the audit rule that says to search the authored
source; tsc passed because the bytes sat inside a comment, so no gate caught it.
It is live on next.

Refs #1879

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

* test(#1882): pin unterminated-frontmatter detection and its negative space

Covers the discriminator on both sides. The positive rows are the issue's own
repro (LF and CRLF) plus the key-count boundary 0/1/2 around the ">= 1 parsed
key" threshold. The negative rows are the documents that reach the same branch
and must stay silent -- above all a Markdown thematic break at byte 0, which is
how this class of check has previously shipped a false positive on valid
Markdown.

Deduplication is tested on both halves of the composite key: a repeat of the
same (path, cause) is suppressed, a genuine second failure in a different file
is not, and a Windows and POSIX spelling of one path resolve to a single key.
The reset seam is asserted to actually clear -- #2674 is the precedent where a
reset that silently failed to clear made every later dedup assertion a vacuous
pass, and the cases only passed because each happened to pick an unused key, so
every case here uses a path unique to itself.

Assertions are on typed surfaces throughout -- the frozen reason enum and the
dedup-set size -- never on diagnostic prose. The one CLI-level case asserts a
differential between two runs (whether stderr is empty) rather than matching a
message, and is the wired user-reachable surface for this fix. Stream failure is
injected by overriding process.stderr.write and restoring it, never chmod 0o000,
which root bypasses.

Two properties guard the ~50 call sites of the changed function: the new
optional path argument is inert with respect to the parsed value, and LF/CRLF
spellings of a document still parse identically.

Refs #1879

* fix(#1882): raise the truncation threshold and repair the dedup key

Isolated adversarial review found the one-key discriminator false-positives on
ordinary Markdown: a thematic break above a single labelled line -- `Note:`,
`Author:`, `TODO:`, `See:` -- parses as exactly one key and was reported as
corruption, which is the precise failure the design claimed to prevent and the
changeset promised was fixed. The threshold is now two keys. A file truncated
after exactly one key becomes a false negative; that is the same
precision-over-recall direction already taken at zero keys, and every GSD
artefact this guards carries two or more frontmatter keys.

Three dedup-key defects, each of which could silently swallow a real diagnostic:

- Backslash normalization is removed. A backslash is a legal filename character
  on Linux and macOS, so folding it to a forward slash made two genuinely
  different files share one key. Two spellings of one Windows path may now
  report twice; two distinct files can never silence each other. Lost signal is
  the worse failure.
- The key namespaces are tagged so a file literally named like the unnamed
  digest fallback can no longer collide with a path-less caller whose content
  hashes to that digest -- computable for any predictable content, no brute
  force needed.
- The source identity is computed once rather than hashed twice per emission.

Corrects the previous commit. The two NUL bytes in src/config-loader.cts were
NOT in a JSDoc comment as that message claimed; they were deliberate separators
in the live dedup key, and stripping them degraded it to bare concatenation.
They are restored as escape sequences -- byte-identical runtime string, and the
file is text again so grep can see it. The diagnostic script that misled me
indexed a character-offset string with a byte offset.

Also threads sourcePath through the STATE.md and PLAN.md readers so the two
artefacts epic #1879 is actually about name their file rather than reporting
under a content digest.

* test(#1882): correct fixtures and assertions left behind by the review fixes

The previous commit changed two behaviours deliberately and the suite still
encoded the old ones, so gsd-test came back red with six failures across both
lanes -- all of them mine.

Fixtures carrying a single frontmatter key no longer clear the two-key
truncation threshold, so the CLI differential and the two path-less dedup cases
were asserting a diagnostic that is now correctly withheld. They now carry two
keys, which is what a real interrupted write of a GSD artefact looks like.

The Windows/POSIX case asserted that two spellings of one path collapse to a
single key -- the exact folding that was removed because it also collapsed
genuinely distinct POSIX files whose names contain a backslash. Inverted to
assert they now report separately, with the reasoning recorded inline so the
trade is not silently reversed later: mild duplicate noise on one Windows path
is acceptable, a swallowed diagnostic is not.

Refs #1879

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

* fix(#1882): name the file at every read site, and report each file once

The diagnostic reached only the four frontmatter CLI verbs, so ~47 of 53 call
sites reported a truncated file under an anonymous content digest instead of
naming it. Since naming the file is the whole point -- it is what an operator
can act on -- that was a gap in the deliverable, not a scoping choice. 43 of 53
sites now pass the resolved path.

Closing it surfaced a defect the original design missed. A single truncated
STATE.md is parsed twice in a normal run: once by the read wrapper, which holds
the path, and again by a pure core downstream, which is handed only the string
and cannot know it. Those two parses keyed separately, so one file produced two
diagnostics -- and wiring more sites made the collision more likely, not less.
Every emission now registers both identities the input could be known by and
checks both before writing, so whichever caller arrives first speaks and the
other is suppressed. Distinct files with distinct content still report
separately, which is the property ADR-1411 actually requires; two files whose
truncated content is byte-identical collapse to one report, which stays the
documented limit.

Ten call sites deliberately keep no path. Two are frontmatter's own round-trip
checks during set and merge, where passing a path would report on every write.
The other eight are the state-transition pure cores, which ADR-1769 defines as
(content, intent, deps) -> newContent with injected I/O; threading a path
through them would contradict that recorded decision, so it is surfaced rather
than taken unilaterally. With the widened key they no longer double-report, and
in the normal flow the named parse runs first, so the file is still named.

Refs #1879

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

* fix(#1882): inject the STATE.md path into the transition cores

The six state-transition cores parsed STATE.md frontmatter without knowing
which file it came from, so a truncated STATE.md reached the operator as an
anonymous content digest on exactly the artefact epic #1879 is named for.

ADR-1769 section 3 shapes these as (content, intent, deps) -> newContent with
injected deps, and deps is the seam for precisely this: something the core
cannot derive without doing I/O. It already carries roadmapProvider and a
phase-inventory provider on that basis, each documented as injected rather than
imported so the core stays pure and testable without disk access. A resolved
path is data, not I/O, so an optional sourcePath member extends the established
pattern rather than contradicting it, and every existing stub keeps compiling
because the member is optional.

updateCore and reconcileCurrentPosition take no deps and are left alone. With
the widened dedup key they cannot double-report, and in the normal flow the read
wrapper has already named the file by the time they run.

Also regenerates gsd-core/bin/lib/state-transition.cjs. That artifact is tracked
rather than gitignored, unlike most of its siblings, so leaving it stale would
have shipped a runtime without this change to anyone reading the repo without
building. tsc had skipped the re-emit because its incremental build info still
recorded an emit that had since been reverted, so the stale output survived a
clean build; clearing tsconfig.build.tsbuildinfo forced it. The
compiled-artifact-sync gate is what surfaced the drift and now reports all nine
tracked artifacts matching their source.

Refs #1879

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

* fix(#1882): stop the widened dedup key from hiding a second file

The previous commit widened the dedup guard so one file parsed twice -- once by
a read wrapper holding the path, once by a pure core holding only the string --
reported once instead of twice. It did that by checking BOTH keys before
emitting, which silently traded one defect for a worse one: two DIFFERENT files
whose truncated content happened to be byte-identical now collided on the shared
content digest, and the second file's diagnostic was swallowed. That is the
over-coarse keying ADR-1411 explicitly forbids, reintroduced while fixing
something else.

The guard now checks only the key matching what the caller actually knows -- a
named read checks its path key, a path-less read checks its digest key -- while
still recording every key the input could later be identified by. The redundant
path-less re-parse of an already-named file stays silent, and two distinct files
always both report.

Verified across all six orderings: same file named-then-anonymous reports once;
two different files with identical content report twice; two different files
with different content report twice; the same path twice reports once; two
path-less parses of identical content report once; two path-less parses of
different content report twice.

The suite caught this -- twenty failures, all in the unusable-input tests that
reuse one truncated fixture across different paths. The local probe written
alongside the broken change did not, because it compared two files with
different content and could therefore only confirm the expected behaviour.

Refs #1879

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

* test(#1882): count diagnostics emitted, not identities interned

The suite measured the size of the dedup set as a stand-in for "how many
diagnostics were emitted". That held only while one emission recorded exactly
one key. Once an emission began recording every identity the input could later
be matched by -- a path key and a content key for the same file -- the set grew
by two per write and twenty assertions read 2 where they expected 1.

The production behaviour was correct throughout; the proxy was not. Set size
counts identities, which is an implementation detail of the guard. The
behavioural claim these tests exist to make is how many diagnostics an operator
actually saw, so the module now exposes that directly as an emission counter and
the suite asserts on it. The set-size accessor stays for assertions genuinely
about key shape.

The local probe written alongside the change did not catch this because it
counted process.stderr.write calls -- the right thing -- while the suite counted
set growth. Verification now asserts both and requires them to agree, so a
future divergence between the counter and real writes fails immediately rather
than being discovered a bench run later.

Refs #1879

* test(#1882): retire two assertions that outlived the behaviour they described

Both tests encoded assumptions the dedup fix invalidated, and both were caught
by the suite rather than by the probe written alongside the change.

The forged-path case asserted that a file named like the anonymous digest
fallback must not suppress a later path-less report. That premise is gone: an
emission now records every identity its input could be matched by, so ANY named
report of some content silences the anonymous re-parse of that same content --
which is the same-file guard working as intended, and has nothing to do with the
crafted name. The property still worth defending is that a crafted filename can
never silence a real file reported under its own path, so that is what the test
now asserts, with the deliberate suppression documented beside it.

The reset-seam case ended by reading the size of the dedup set and expecting 1.
Set size counts interned identities, not diagnostics written, and one emission
now interns two. It asserts the emission counter for the event and keeps a
weaker set-size check for the interning.

* fix(#1882): close the review findings on the discriminator, dry-run and counter

Three orthogonal review passes ran against the final diff. Their findings:

A labelled preamble under a leading rule was still misreported. Raising the key
threshold to two only moved the boundary, because two colon-labelled lines are
as common in ordinary prose as one -- a document opening with a rule over an
Author and a Reviewed-by line, then prose, was called corrupt. Key count alone
cannot separate the two. What does is what follows: a write interrupted part way
through a frontmatter block ends mid-block, so every line of the region is still
frontmatter-shaped, whereas a document merely opening with a rule goes on to
prose. Both conditions are now required, and each closes a false-positive class
the other leaves open. Nested list values and indented continuations stay
frontmatter-shaped, so legitimate truncations are unaffected.

`state rebuild --dry-run` reported a truncated STATE.md anonymously. The write
path is named only because readModifyWriteStateMd parses with the path first;
the dry-run branch reads the file directly and never did. Dry-run is the
read-only mode an operator reaches for first when they suspect corruption, so it
is the one that most needed to name the file. reconcileCurrentPosition takes the
path as an optional argument now and rebuildCore passes it down. That function
was previously left alone on the grounds that a read wrapper always names the
file first -- this is the flow that disproves it.

The emission counter counted write attempts rather than writes, so on a broken
stderr it claimed a diagnostic had reached the operator when nothing had. It is
incremented only after a write that completed, and the broken-stderr test now
asserts the count as well as the return value.

Two documentation defects. The module described a guarantee it does not keep:
one file yields one diagnostic only when the named read comes first. The reverse
ordering emits twice, and that is deliberate -- a path-less caller cannot
identify its file, so suppressing the later named report would also suppress a
genuine second failure in a different file whenever two files share identical
truncated bytes, which ADR-1411 ranks the worse failure. The comment now states
the asymmetric guarantee and a test pins it. Separately, the CONTEXT.md glossary
entry still described backslash normalization that a later commit removed, and
asserted the opposite of what the tests pin; no lint checks prose against code,
so nothing caught it.

Also converts three body-level try/finally blocks to t.after(), per
CONTRIBUTING.md's rule that try/finally belongs only in helpers with no test
context -- the file's own emissionsDuring helper already did this correctly.

* docs(#1882): tell the operator what the truncated-frontmatter warning means

A user who has just seen the new warning is acting, not studying, so this lands
in the How-To quadrant beside the other "if you see X" branches in
debug-a-failed-execution, not in reference or explanation. It gives them what
the warning means for this run, three steps to restore the file, and the fact
that the warning changes no return value or exit code.

It also states the case that matters more than the warning itself: silence does
not prove the file is intact. GSD says nothing when the partial block carries
fewer than two fields or reads as prose, because a Markdown document opening
with a horizontal rule is indistinguishable from one of those. A reader chasing
missing metadata needs to know not to treat quiet as clean. Why that threshold
exists is explanation and deliberately stays out of a how-to.

* chore(#1882): backfill changeset pr number to 2712

* test(#1882): constrain each branch of the frontmatter-shape check

CI's mutation gate came in at 61.56 against a threshold of 62, and the surviving
mutants were concentrated in isFrontmatterShaped -- the function added last, in
response to review, and the only one never given tests of its own. It was
exercised solely through extractFrontmatter, which covers the composite decision
but leaves each branch of the predicate unconstrained: drop the blank-line
filter, or any one of the three shape alternatives, and every existing assertion
still passed.

Four cases now pin the halves independently. A blank line inside an interrupted
block must not disqualify it, which constrains the filter and its comparison. An
unindented list item and an indented folded-scalar continuation each exercise one
shape alternative that no other case reaches on its own -- the folded line is
neither a key nor a list item, so it is the only input that distinguishes the
indented branch. And two keys followed by prose must stay silent, which is the
negative half: it fails if the predicate is ever mutated to accept everything,
and it is the case that proves key count alone was never sufficient.

* test(#1882): register the unusable-input suite with the frontmatter mutation shard

The mutation gate reported an identical 61.56 across two runs whose only
difference was four added tests. That is the tell: the tests were never
executed. The frontmatter shard runs a fixed file list in stryker.config.mjs and
scripts/mutation-matrix.cjs, and tests/unusable-input.test.cjs was in neither, so
the entire suite covering the new unterminated-fence branch was invisible to the
gate while passing perfectly well in the normal run.

So the score was not measuring weak tests, it was measuring absent ones: #1882
added mutants to frontmatter.cjs and no test in the shard covered them. Both
lists gain the file; the config already notes they must stay in sync.

This is a registration ripple a new test file carries when it covers a
mutation-tracked module, alongside the .gitignore, eslint, inventory, glossary
and size-baseline ripples a new module carries. Nothing warned about it, which
is why two runs were spent before the identical score gave it away.

3eb1cede26 fix(#1880): distinguish a corrupt config from an absent one (epic #1879 Phase 1) (#2688)
* test(#1880): prove corrupt config is indistinguishable from absent

Failing-first. Encodes the issue's runtime repro: a trailing comma in
.planning/config.json currently yields source:builtin-defaults with
degraded:false - byte-identical to the file not existing - and the user's
entire configuration is silently discarded.

Asserts on the typed surface (CONFIG_REASON, _warnedUnusableConfig) rather
than diagnostic prose, per the ADR-1411 amendment's test-methodology clause
and CONTRIBUTING.md's raw-text-matching rule. IO failure is injected by
monkeypatching fs.readFileSync and restoring in t.after(), never chmod 0o000
(root bypasses mode bits).

* fix(#1880): distinguish a corrupt config from an absent one

loadConfigResolved wrapped the read, the JSON.parse and the entire config
build in one try with one catch, so ENOENT, EACCES and SyntaxError all fell
through to the same defaults and the branches returned degraded:false -
actively asserting health over discarded configuration. A single trailing
comma in .planning/config.json silently replaced the user's whole config,
reporting source:builtin-defaults degraded:false, byte-identical to having
no config file at all.

ConfigResolution now carries a machine-readable reason. Genuine absence keeps
degraded:false / not_configured; a file that exists but cannot be used sets
degraded:true with config_unparseable or config_unreadable. The same split
applies to the root config and to ~/.gsd/defaults.json.

Control flow is deliberately unchanged. preflight_check reports cyclomatic
141 / cognitive 196 and 93 dependents on this function, with the guidance
that small edits beat one big one, so faults are CAPTURED at the existing
read sites and stamped onto the returns rather than the try/catch being
restructured.

Also carries the ADR-1411 amendment's wiring clause: loadConfig returns
.config alone to ~51 call sites and would never see the new field, so an
unusable file emits a deduplicated stderr diagnostic keyed on resolved path
plus errno. Without it the reason would be an unreachable field and the user
whose config was discarded would still get no signal - the actual defect.

Registers the config-loader seam in lint-resolution-provenance, which until
now guarded only agent-skills.

Caller audit: ConfigResolution.degraded has exactly one consumer outside this
module, cmdAgentSkills (src/init.cts:2259), which destructures
{config, source, degraded} - adding a field does not break it. Its --json IR
now reports degraded:true for a corrupt config, which is the intended fix and
the one observable behavior change.

Closes #1880

* fix(#1880): degrade when any config on the path is unusable, not just the last

Two defects found by isolated adversarial review of the first cut.

BLOCKER: the success-path return did not consult configFault. A corrupt ROOT
config whose workstream override happened to parse returned degraded:false /
reason:resolved - the root's settings silently dropped, which is the exact
failure this issue closes, reappearing for any project using workstreams. The
stderr diagnostic fired, so the out-of-band half worked while the in-band half
reported a clean resolve; a --json consumer saw health.

MAJOR: reason was derived from Object.keys(parsed) - the root+workstream MERGE
- so an empty workstream file inheriting a non-empty root reported resolved
despite carrying no settings. Emptiness is now judged on the file actually
read, snapshotted before normalizeLegacyKeys mutates it.

Also: corrects the ConfigResolution JSDoc, which still described the pre-#1880
degraded contract; adds a fast-check property asserting a PRESENT file is
never reported not_configured whatever its bytes (CONTRIBUTING.md parser
rule); and asserts the literal enum values so the provenance lint's
configured_empty/not_configured markers check real assertions rather than
incidental prose in test titles.

Refs #1879

* fix(#1880): reject valid JSON that is not a config object at the read seam

The fast-check property added in the previous commit failed on both node
lanes: a config.json containing 0, "str", [], null or true is valid JSON, so
it parsed "ok", then threw downstream in normalizeLegacyKeys, and the outer
catch reported not_configured - a PRESENT file reported as absent, which is
precisely the collapse this issue exists to close. The property asserts a
present file is never not_configured, and it caught it.

_readConfigFile now validates shape, not just parseability (ADR-227: check
the semantic shape at a trust boundary, not merely the type). A non-object
JSON document is an unusable config, reported config_unparseable.

Adds named regression cases for each non-object form alongside the property,
so the class is documented and not only randomly sampled.

* test(#2452): record a fetch-time shallow failure instead of crashing

This guard failed CI on ubuntu-24 while passing on ubuntu-22 and
windows-24 for the same commit, and passed on other PRs. Not a flake and not
caused by the change under test - a real fragility in the test.

runnerDiff ran the base fetch OUTSIDE its try and only guarded the diff, so it
assumed the failure mode is always 'fetch succeeds, diff reports no merge
base'. At a shallow boundary that lands short of the merge base, git can
instead fail during the FETCH ('unable to parse commit' - the boundary
commit's parent is not available). Which stage git fails at is version and
transport dependent, so on some runners the error escaped runnerDiff and
crashed the test rather than being recorded as the ok:false the assertions
expect. Both stages mean the same thing for what this guard protects: a
shallow base ref cannot resolve the three-dot diff.

Also drops two assert.match calls against git's stderr prose. 'no merge base'
and 'unable to parse commit' are the same condition reported at different
stages, and CONTRIBUTING prohibits raw text matching on subprocess output.
The typed outcome (ok === false) is the contract; the tests now assert that
plus the presence of a cause.

Found while investigating the red lane on #2688; fixed here per the no-defer
rule rather than filed.

b897070de3 fix(#2653): regenerate stale api-coverage.cjs + add artifact-sync guard (#2656)
* fix(#2653): regenerate stale api-coverage.cjs + add artifact-sync guard

The tracked build artifact gsd-core/bin/lib/api-coverage.cjs had drifted
four days behind src/api-coverage.cts: PR 2551 landed the #2366 fix in
the source without regenerating the compiled output, so the module that
actually ships still carried none of it.

Regenerate the artifact, and add scripts/lint-compiled-artifact-sync.cjs
to lint:generated-sync so a tracked compiled artifact can never again
silently diverge from its source. The check derives its file set from
git ls-files rather than a hand-maintained list, and is regime-agnostic:
if these artifacts are later untracked and gitignored per ADR-457, the
tracked set becomes empty and the check passes trivially.

Verified fail-first: the guard exits 1 against the previously-committed
artifact (37731 bytes vs 38634 expected) and 0 after regeneration.

Also fixes a defect this change surfaced in tests/no-phantom-issue-refs:
its PHANTOM list still banned 2551 and 2361, but GitHub numbers issues
and PRs from one shared counter and this repo has since reached 2654, so
both now resolve to merged PRs. The guard was rejecting accurate
citations of them — it failed this very commit for naming PR 2551 as the
drift's provenance. Verified by replaying the guard's scan: 1 offender
under the old list, 0 under the pruned one. Only 3182 is still a 404.

The test:coverage:unit script chained two c8 invocations with &&:
the first ran tests and wrote coverage data to .nyc_output/, the
second read that data for per-file branch checks. On fast CI runners
(ubuntu/24), the second process started before the filesystem flushed
the first process's writes — a classic TOCTOU race that caused
intermittent coverage gate failures.

Replace the two-process chain with a single c8 invocation that
generates both text and json-summary reports, followed by a Node
script (scripts/check-coverage-gate.cjs) that reads the JSON summary
once and checks both overall and per-file thresholds. No filesystem
race is possible because the JSON report is fully written before the
check script reads it.

9fe9da9830 fix(#2488): strip leading terminators so changeset bullets survive re-parse (#2492)
* fix(#2488): strip leading terminators so changeset bullets survive re-parse

A fragment body beginning with a line terminator rendered as an empty
`- ` bullet followed by an orphaned paragraph. `parseChangelog` treats a
non-indented line as terminating a bullet, so `github-release-notes.cjs`
silently dropped the entry when re-parsing CHANGELOG.md to build the
GitHub Release body.

Two independent causes, both in scripts/changeset/parse.cjs:

1. `extractDocsExempt` stripped trailing terminators but not leading
   ones. `DOCS_EXEMPT_RE` is `^...$` under /m, so removing a first-line
   `<!-- docs-exempt -->` marker left the `\n` that `$` does not consume.

2. `parseFragment` preserved the post-frontmatter body verbatim, so a
   blank line between the closing `---` and the first content line
   produced the same leading `\n` with no marker involved.

8 of 256 pending fragments were affected, split 4/4 across the two
causes — including the OpenCode MCP binding, the pi extension, and the
EoS adapters, all of which would have vanished from the v1.8.0 release
notes.

Regression tests cover both causes in LF and CRLF form, plus an
end-to-end serializeChangelog -> parseChangelog round-trip that pins the
user-visible defect.

bf0d715733 fix(#2472): cost-balanced test sharding and pinned CI base commit (#2480)
* fix(#2472): weight-aware shard partition

Windows shard 1/3 hit the 20-minute job cap with no failing assertion. Root
cause is the shard layer, not the chunk layer: selectShard partitioned by
sorted ARRAY INDEX (k % n, #1212), which balances file COUNTS and ignores
file COST. On the real unit suite that produced 12.4m / 19.2m / 15.2m — a
1.23x max/ideal ratio leaving the heaviest shard 5% under the cap. Because
assignment keyed off position, inserting one test file re-indexed every file
after it and could tip that shard over; deterministic, so a re-run reproduced
it exactly.

This is NOT the chunk packer (#2456/#2463). That fix works and applies one
level down, WITHIN a shard. The across-shard partition predated it and never
consumed the cost table. Both layers now share one cost model.

selectShard takes an optional weightOf and, when given one, partitions by LPT
(longest-processing-time-first) — the same algorithm packChunks uses. Omitting
it keeps the legacy round-robin byte-identical, so every existing test above
still exercises that path unchanged and callers without timing data lose
nothing. A missing timings table yields uniform weight 1, under which LPT
degenerates to the equal-count split.

Projected on the real suite: 16.4/17.3/13.0 -> 15.6/15.6/15.6 (worst shard
17.3m -> 15.6m).

Tests: a skewed-cost regression (round-robin clusters all four heavy files
onto one shard at 2.98x ideal; LPT does not), back-compat equivalence,
determinism, tie-breaking, order preservation, and two fast-check properties
— the partition is exhaustive and disjoint (getting this wrong silently DROPS
tests from CI, the worst failure mode for a harness), and no shard exceeds
average + heaviest file.

Two assertions were corrected during authoring rather than shipped wrong:
- an initial "LPT within 4/3 of ideal" bound was false. The 4/3 figure is
  relative to the OPTIMAL makespan, not the average, and the two differ when
  item sizes force a pairing. Replaced with Graham's average+max bound, which
  is what is actually provable.
- "weighted is never worse than round-robin" is also false; fast-check
  falsified it with [19316,10190,1,9128,29353,20227] over 2 shards (rr 48670,
  lpt 48671). Round-robin can win by luck on a specific input. Dropped, with
  the counterexample recorded in place so it is not re-asserted later.

Closes #2472

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

* fix(#2472): rotate tied bins; restore #1212 test block; lazy cost table

Isolated-review findings, all fixed.

HIGH — zero weights collapsed the whole partition onto shard 1. The
lightest-bin scan compared weight only, and adding a zero-weight file leaves
its bin's weight unchanged, so bin 0 stayed tied-minimum forever and every
such file landed on it. Verified: all-zero weights gave shard1=[a..f],
shard2=[], shard3=[] — two of three CI runners idle while one ran everything.
Reachable through safeWeight's own clamp (a NaN/negative/Infinity entry in a
corrupted or hand-edited timings table) and through any genuine 0ms
measurement, so the clamp reproduced the exact failure its comment claimed to
prevent. Ties now break on file COUNT after weight, which rotates. Pinned by
two regression tests (all-zero, and clamped NaN/negative/Infinity) plus a
property over list size x shard count. The live table has no 0ms entries
(min 19ms), so production was not affected — but nothing prevented it.

MEDIUM — the new describe block had swallowed #1212's pre-existing property
test, which is why a test under a "weight-aware" heading never passed a
weigher. That was a bad block boundary in the previous commit, not a bad
test: the #2472 describe was opened before #1212's last test instead of
after. Moved back where it belongs; #1212 is 762-879 and #2472 is 894-1082.

LOW — that relocated property test ran unseeded. Seeded (12120) per the
repo's property-test convention so a failure reproduces. Verified passing
under the new seed.

LOW — hoisting the timings load above the shard block charged a readFileSync
+ JSON.parse to invocations that exit before needing it (empty selection,
--files matching nothing). Now lazily memoized, so neither consumer reads the
table unless it is used and it is still read at most once.

Real-suite projection unchanged at 15.6m / 15.6m / 15.6m.

* docs(#2472): correct stale round-robin sharding descriptions

The partition is now cost-balanced, so the header block in run-tests.cjs
and the two comments in test.yml describing '--shard' as a round-robin over
sorted file index were actively wrong. Updated to describe LPT over measured
duration, and to state the degenerate case explicitly: with no timing data
every file weighs the same and the partition collapses back to k % n, which
is why the pre-existing #1212 CLI tests still pass unchanged (their nine
synthetic files are absent from the timings table, so all take the identical
median weight).

Remaining 'round-robin' mentions are correct — they describe the unweighted
fallback path.

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

* fix(#2472): shard diagnostics, cost-routing E2E test, table validation

Second orthogonal review (operational lens) findings, all fixed.

HIGH — cross-runner partition divergence. Each of the up-to-12 CI jobs runs
its own 'merge base into head' and computes its own partition, so if the
inputs differ between jobs (the file list, or the timings table) two jobs can
place the same file in different shards or in none. Every job stays
internally exhaustive and disjoint, so nothing errors: a test simply never
runs and CI stays green.

The risk class is pre-existing — round-robin diverges identically when the
file set differs between jobs, which is literally this issue's insertion
instability — but weighting adds tests/test-timings.json as a second input
that must match, so it widens the hole. Properly closing it means pinning the
partition inputs per run, a workflow change beyond this fix.

What IS closed here is the silence. Each shard now prints an input
fingerprint over the FULL pre-partition list and the weight assigned to each
file — deliberately not this shard's slice, which would differ by design and
be useless for comparison. All shard jobs of one run must print an identical
sig; a mismatch is direct proof the runners disagreed about the input.
Verified: three independent computations agree, and the sig changes when the
input drifts by one file.

MEDIUM — nothing proved main() actually threads fileWeightOf() into
selectShard. Every pre-existing --shard E2E test uses synthetic filenames
absent from the real table, so all collapse to a uniform median weight, under
which LPT is mathematically identical to k % n — a typo on that one wiring
line would have passed the whole suite. Added an E2E test that injects a
table via RUN_TESTS_TIMINGS_FILE with differing costs, placing the heavy
files at exactly the indices round-robin hands to shard 1, and asserts shard 1
does NOT receive all three. Plus a test that all three shards emit the same
sig.

MEDIUM/LOW — no observability. The diagnostic line now reports files,
weighed count, aggregate weight, and whether the table loaded, so a table
that silently failed to parse shows table=absent/weighed=0 instead of being
indistinguishable from a healthy load. (The reviewer confirmed the advisory
fallback is already live on next: feat-2296-provider-escalation.test.cjs is
missing from the table.)

LOW — typeof [] === 'object', so a hand-edit turning the map into a list was
accepted as a valid table. Now rejected via Array.isArray, falling back to
uniform weight like any other malformed table.

LOW — stale round-robin wording in ci-test-scope.test.cjs.

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

* fix(#2472): pin every CI job to one base commit

Closes the cross-runner divergence at its source instead of only making it
visible.

Each job of a run executes the rebase-check step independently, minutes apart
across a 12-job matrix, and merged the MOVING origin/<branch> ref. If the base
advanced mid-run, different jobs merged different trees. That was survivable
when jobs only had to agree on pass/fail; it is not once they must agree on a
PARTITION. Each shard job computes the whole split and keeps its own slice, so
jobs working from different trees can place a file in two shards or in none —
and every job still looks internally consistent, so nothing errors. A test
silently never runs and CI stays green.

ci-rebase-check.cjs now accepts CI_REBASE_BASE_SHA and pins BOTH the fetch and
the merge to that one commit, so the two can never disagree. test.yml passes
github.event.pull_request.base.sha on all three rebase-check steps; that value
is fixed for the life of a run, so all jobs merge the identical base.

This also closes the PRE-EXISTING half of the divergence. Round-robin had the
same exposure whenever the test-file set differed between jobs — that is this
issue's insertion instability — so the pin fixes the older hole too, not just
the timings-table input weighting added.

Only a full 40-hex sha is accepted; empty (push/workflow_dispatch), malformed,
or injected values fall back to the branch ref rather than handing an arbitrary
string to git fetch as a refspec. resolveBaseRefs is extracted pure and
exported, and runMain is guarded behind require.main === module, so the pin
contract is testable without spawning git.

Tests (tests/ci-test-scope.test.cjs): every rebase-check step must carry the
pin; a valid sha pins both refs; absence falls back correctly; and five hostile
values — short sha, uppercase, --upload-pack= injection, ref expression, empty
— are each rejected.

448e148058 fix(#2455): abort remaining chunks when one hits the per-chunk timeout (#2465)
The per-chunk timeout exists so a bad chunk fails loudly 'rather than
silently burn the job's wall-clock budget until the CI runner cancels the
whole job' (run-tests.cjs:633-637). The control flow defeated that: after a
timeout kill the loop fell through to the next chunk. Since the timeout
(600000ms) is half the 20m job cap and a healthy Windows full pass is
~11m42s, continuing after a timeout can essentially never finish.

Observed on run 29749380190 (windows shard 2/3): chunk 1/5 was killed at
exactly 600s, the loop pressed on through chunks 2-4, and the job was
cancelled mid-chunk-5 at the 20m wall. The failure surfaced as
'##[error]The operation was canceled.' — the timeout diagnostic ended up
~38,000 log lines from the end and 'gh run view --log-failed' returned
nothing, making the real cause very hard to find.

Abort the remaining chunks on a timeout so the diagnostic survives as the
visible failure. Ordinary test failures still run every chunk, so the
operator keeps seeing all failures in one pass.

953b8043ea fix(#2456): weight test chunks by measured cost and pack with LPT (#2463)
* fix(#2456): weight test chunks by measured cost and pack with LPT

scripts/run-tests.cjs guessed each test file's cost from its filename
(basename matching /^(?:install|codex-)/ scored 12, everything else 1).
Measured durations show that guess is wrong in both directions:
installer-migration-authoring.test.cjs scored 12 while running ~0.1s, and
the two most expensive files in the suite both scored 1 —
run-tests-harness.test.cjs never matched the prefix, and
release-tarball-smoke.install.test.cjs was missed because the regex is
anchored to the START of the basename.

Chunks were therefore balanced by file COUNT, not cost. On the real
shard 2/3 the two heaviest files packed into the SAME chunk, leaving the
slowest chunk 2.8x the lightest and sitting near the 600s per-chunk
timeout while other chunks idled.

Weight each file by its measured duration from a checked-in, regenerable
timings table and pack with LPT (heaviest first, into the lightest
chunk). On the same shard this drops the slowest chunk from 383s to 238s
and the imbalance from 2.79x to 1.00x, and separates the two heavy files.

Timings are advisory, never gated: an unknown file falls back to the
table's median weight, a missing or corrupt table falls back to uniform
weight, and a count-based floor guarantees the packer never produces
fewer chunks than plain count-based packing would.

Closes #2456

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

* fix(#2456): harden chunk packing against degenerate knobs and table keys

Follow-up hardening found while reviewing the packer, fixed inline.

The chunk knobs are read from the environment with Number(), so a typo
(RUN_TESTS_MAX_FILES_PER_CHUNK=abc) yields NaN and an explicit 0 yields
0. Both flow into the new chunk-count arithmetic: NaN made Math.ceil
return NaN, Array.from({length: NaN}) produce zero bins, and packChunks'
retry loop spin forever — a hung CI job with no output. Zero made the
count Infinity and threw RangeError: Invalid array length. The previous
count-based packer degraded to a single chunk instead, so this was a
regression introduced by the LPT rewrite.

Normalize the knobs at the environment boundary (positiveNumberEnv:
anything not a positive finite number falls back to the default) and
guard packChunks itself, since it is exported and cannot assume its
caller normalized. Non-finite weights from an arbitrary weightOf are
clamped too. RUN_TESTS_CHUNK_TIMEOUT_MS gets the same treatment.

Also resolve timing-table lookups with Object.hasOwn: the table is
JSON-parsed, so a bare index would walk the prototype chain and return a
function for a file named constructor.test.cjs or toString.test.cjs.
The typeof guard already rejected that, but the lookup now resolves
correctly rather than relying on the downstream check.

Refs #2456

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

* fix(#2456): correct prototype-lookup rationale and guard generator keys

Two findings from independent security review, fixed inline.

The makeFileWeigher comment claimed a bare table lookup "would return a
FUNCTION for a file named constructor.test.cjs". That premise is false:
basename('constructor.test.cjs') is 'constructor.test.cjs', which is not
an Object.prototype key, and walkTestFiles only ever collects *.test.cjs.
The prototype chain was never reachable from a real selection, and the
existing typeof guard already rejected the function it would return, so
Object.hasOwn is defense-in-depth rather than a behavior change. The
comment now says that instead of asserting something untrue.

The accompanying test inherited the same false premise: it fed
constructor.test.cjs and asserted a median fallback that would have held
with or without the guard, so it passed for a reason unrelated to what
it claimed to prove. It now uses BARE keys (constructor, toString,
valueOf, hasOwnProperty, __proto__) — the only inputs that actually
resolve on Object.prototype — and asserts the real exported contract:
any key absent from the table weighs the median, never a function.

gen-test-timings.cjs built its output object by computed-key assignment
from basenames taken out of a reporter stream it does not control — the
js/prototype-polluting-assignment shape, and this repo has a CodeQL
barrier for exactly that pattern. It was not exploitable (the value is
always a rounded number, so the __proto__ setter is a silent no-op), but
it silently DROPPED such an entry rather than reporting it. Validate every
key against a test-basename pattern and fail loudly instead, and build
the table with a null prototype.

* fix(#2456): replace tautological chunking tests and clamp chunk count

Six findings from independent correctness review, all reproduced and
fixed inline.

The two subprocess tests written to carry the #2088 guarantee forward
were tautological: every seeded file weighed exactly 1, so both passed
under the OLD prefix-heuristic packer and with the timings file deleted
entirely. Neither could fail for the reason it existed. Both are rebuilt
so the old algorithm produces a different packing and the assertion goes
red: the spread test now uses three expensive files named so the old
heuristic scored them 1 alongside three trivial `install-`-prefixed
files it scored 12 — inverted from real cost, giving {2,2,1,1} under the
old packer versus {2,2,2} under measured weights. The companion test
covers the other direction: four trivial `install-` files the old
heuristic split into four single-file chunks now stay in one.

packChunks clamped the chunk count from below but not above, so a
legitimate but tiny budget (RUN_TESTS_MAX_FILES_PER_CHUNK=1e-9, which
positiveNumberEnv accepts) asked for 637,000,000,000 bins and threw
RangeError. More chunks than files is never useful; the count now clamps
at one file per chunk.

The generator's basename-collision guard compared full dirnames, so two
OS lanes reporting the same file under different container roots
(/work/tests vs C:/work/tests) flagged every shared basename as a
collision — on the script's own documented multi-lane usage. Detection is
now scoped per stream, where the root is constant; a genuine same-lane
collision is still caught.

Also: the LPT tie-break compared raw paths, so a path separator (0x2F vs
0x5C) could order a subdir file differently per platform, contradicting
the documented byte-identical guarantee — it now normalizes separators.
loadTestTimings now honors schema_version instead of writing it and
never reading it, falling back to uniform weight on an unknown version.
A comment claiming an all-uniform suite "chunks exactly as it did
before" was false and contradicted by this PR's own test: the chunk
count is preserved, the composition is not. And the missing-table test
created a temp dir it never cleaned up, for a path that only needed to
not exist.

d0bacc2517 fix(#2351): replace hardcoded timeout with portable run-with-timeout (#2426)
* fix(#2351): replace hardcoded gnu timeout with portable run-with-timeout

Stock macOS ships neither `timeout` nor `gtimeout` (GNU coreutils). The 10
hardcoded `timeout <n> <cmd>` calls across the workflow/agent/reference gates
exited 127 ("command not found") on such hosts, and the gates — which only
distinguish 0/124/other — misreported a passing build or test as a FAILURE.

Fix: a single Node-based `gsd_run run-with-timeout <secs> [--] <cmd…>` verb in
gsd-tools.cjs. Coreutils-independent (stock macOS AND Windows), keeps GNU
`timeout`'s exit-code contract (124 timeout, passthrough, 127/126 ENOENT/EACCES,
128+signum on signal), inherits stdio so pipes/redirects work, and reaps the
whole process group so a watch-mode runner cannot outlive its budget. Runs
before gsd-tools' flag parsing so the wrapped argv stays opaque.

Hardened per adversarial review:
- On timeout, SIGKILL the group SYNCHRONOUSLY before resolving — a descendant
  that traps SIGTERM was otherwise orphaned holding stdout, hanging captured
  gates (the exact watch-mode hang the feature prevents).
- Forward SIGINT/SIGTERM to the child tree instead of dying and orphaning it.
- Reject blank/whitespace <seconds> (was a silent unbounded run); clamp the
  timer to the 32-bit setTimeout ceiling (was a spurious immediate timeout).
- Lint detector: catch GNU long options / `-k5` / `$((...))`; anchor to command
  position so prose "timeout 30 seconds" no longer false-positives.

Resolution lives once in the CLI; all 10 sites call the shared verb. A parity
guard (scripts/lint-portable-timeout.cjs, wired into lint:ci) fails the build if
a bare `timeout`/`gtimeout` execution reappears (the portable `command -v
timeout` probe form is intentionally allowed). Also fixes the identical bug in
the zh-CN checkpoints translation, updates the tests that asserted the old
strings, trims a redundant phrase in gsd-verifier.md to keep it under its size
hard cap, and refreshes the size baselines + golden install-parity fixtures.

f2c077df38 chore(#2387): refactor CONTEXT.md legacy content + add glossary drift gate (#2391)
* chore(#2387): refactor CONTEXT.md legacy content + add glossary drift gate

Apply the audit-and-enforce concept from the ADR index (#2356) to CONTEXT.md:
correct stale facts, and add a CI gate so the machine-verifiable claims can't
silently re-rot.

CONTEXT.md was entirely hand-maintained with nothing checking its claims against
the shipped tree, so it had rotted. An audit against live code (Memtrace +
filesystem + gh), each finding adversarially re-verified, drove 38 factual
corrections + 1 surfaced by the new gate:

- Dead references: Package Identity named @opengsd/get-shit-done-redux (package
  is @opengsd/gsd-core); Shell Command Projection named run-git/run-npm/run-tool
  (real exports execGit/execNpm/execTool); a partial docs/adr/1606 ref; retired
  sdk/ framing.
- Superseded facts: allRuntimes 15 -> 17 (pi #2102, zcode); "seven nested-loader
  runtimes" -> five (claude reverted flat #924, antigravity flat); stacked-PR
  examples rebasing onto main -> next; QUOTA_SENTINELS precedence corrected to
  match src/agent-command-router.cts.
- Drifted CONTRIBUTING.md line citations refreshed.

Per CONTRIBUTING.md:179, only stale FACTS were corrected -- no maintainer intent,
lesson, or opinion was rewritten, and the append-only session log is untouched
except one dated in-place superseding note. The three tests that assert on
CONTEXT.md content (phase6-capstone-conformance, tracer-bullet,
external-job-waiting) keep all their anchors.

New scripts/check-glossary-refs.cjs (--check, wired into lint:generated-sync):
- Check A: every backticked file reference under a TRACKED_PREFIXES allowlist
  resolves on disk. Generated gsd-core/bin/lib/*.cjs (77 refs, gitignored),
  ~/-paths, .planning/, and bare filenames are deliberately skipped so a clean
  CI checkout never false-fails.
- Check B: the allRuntimes count + member set in the glossary prose match
  bin/install.js's allRuntimes literal (drifts on every runtime addition).
tests/check-glossary-refs.test.cjs covers both, including the false-positive
guard that a missing bin/lib/*.cjs ref does NOT trip the gate.

Closes #2387

* fix(#2387): confine glossary-gate file refs to ROOT (no `..` traversal)

Pre-PR security review finding (low): extractTrackedRefs fed tokens straight to
fs.existsSync(path.join(ROOT, token)), and PATH_TOKEN_RE admits `.` in a segment,
so a CONTEXT.md token like `src/../../../etc/passwd` passed the `src/` prefix
check and normalized to an out-of-tree absolute path — turning the doc lint into
a filesystem-existence oracle on the CI host (existsSync only; CONTEXT.md is a
trusted committed file, hence low severity, but a defense-in-depth gap).

Add isWithinRoot() confinement in extractTrackedRefs: a token is dropped unless
path.resolve(ROOT, token) stays within ROOT. A CONTEXT.md reference is always a
plain in-repo path, so a `..` escape is never legitimate. Regression test asserts
a `..`-bearing token is skipped and never named in output.

* fix(#2387): drop legacy `get-shit-done` name from a CONTEXT.md defect entry

CI lint-legacy-dir-name failed: the line-928 upstream-issue re-point I applied
wrote the historical provenance as "gsd-build/get-shit-done#3545", and
scripts/lint-legacy-dir-name.cjs forbids the legacy `get-shit-done` name. Reword
to "moved from #3545 in the predecessor repo" — same provenance, no legacy name.

Caught by `npm run lint:ci` (the CI lint chain), which I had not run locally —
lint:generated-sync + eslint do not include lint-legacy-dir-name.

dcb4954131 fix(#2335): normalize volta node image paths to the stable shim (#2375)
Adds a volta branch to normalizeNodePath() that rewrites the version-pinned node image path to volta's stable shim, so managed hooks survive a volta node prune (the fnm/Homebrew/mise class, now covered for volta). Also unifies the release-smoke install timeout into one shared 600s constant across before() and runSmoke() so slow benches no longer spuriously time out.

Closes #2335. Admin-merged (self-review bypass) with full green CI.
