fe64704ace enhance(#3588): add an opt-in commit_docs pre-commit hook (#3609)
* feat(#3588): add an opt-in commit_docs pre-commit hook

Final phase of epic #2292, scope narrowed to opt-in by maintainer decision:
default-on installation and the bin/install.js wiring it would have required
are explicitly out of scope.

Enabling is an explicit verb call. The hook is written to the repo's real hooks
dir resolved via git rev-parse --git-path hooks, so a linked worktree or
submodule whose .git is a FILE works rather than getting a literal .git/hooks
path. It refuses rather than overwrite a foreign pre-commit, refuses to delete
one it did not write, and refuses outright when core.hooksPath is already set --
a written-but-ignored hook is worse than a refusal. Ownership is detected by
marker presence, not byte-equality, so a user who appends a line does not make
it unrecognizable.

Deliberately NOT included: teaching cmdCheckCommit the per-phase commit_docs
tier. #3587 was still unmerged when this landed, and implementing precedence
against helpers that did not yet exist would have meant a second copy of the
resolution chain -- the divergence class this epic has spent three phases
fighting. That follows as its own change now that #3587 is on next.

The ordering constraint is recorded in the design doc: this must not merge
before #3587, or the hook would block a commit cmdCommit itself allows.

* fix(#3588): teach the commit_docs guard the per-phase tier and -z paths

Part 1, deferred until #3587 merged.

cmdCheckCommit read only project-level commit_docs, so once #3587 landed, a
phase with phase_commit_docs true under project false was ALLOWED by
query commit and BLOCKED by this guard -- and the hook shipped in this same
branch shells out to it. It now derives the staged phase via the single-owner
detectPhaseNumberFromFiles and resolves through #3587's own
resolveCommitDocsPolicy rather than a second precedence copy.

Also fixes a proven false negative in the harm direction. git diff --cached
--name-only C-style-quotes any path with non-ASCII or special characters, so a
staged .planning/cafe.md was emitted as a quoted string, failed
startsWith('.planning/'), and slipped past the guard entirely under
commit_docs:false. Reading with -z and splitting on NUL removes the quoting at
the source. The f.startsWith('.planning\\') branch was dead code under that
read -- git emits /-separated paths on every platform -- and is removed rather
than left implying coverage it never provided.

The earlier C7 test pinned the buggy behavior as intended; it now asserts the
file is detected and the commit refused.

Self-caught: the commit-docs-guard verb was wired into the routers by this
branch's earlier pass but missing from the top-level help listing.

* test(#3588): replace try/finally with t.after, add negative-routing cases

Standards review findings.

CONTRIBUTING bans try/finally inside a test body outright -- it masks failures
-- and B8 used one for worktree cleanup. Now t.after(), assertions unchanged.

The new commit-docs-guard command family had zero negative-routing coverage,
which CONTRIBUTING requires for any change to command dispatch. B11-B15 cover
no subcommand, unknown, empty string, whitespace-only and a flag-shaped value,
each asserting non-zero exit, a structured error, no stack trace, and -- the
one that matters for a command that writes into a user's repo -- that NO hook
is written in any of them.

Those tests were verified to fail when routeCommitDocsGuard's else-branch is
neutered, so they exercise the routing guard rather than any convenient error
path.

Also made two error() calls' control flow explicit with a return; they were
safe only because error() is typed never two files away.

* chore(#3588): backfill changeset pr number to 3609

* test(#3588): skip Windows-unrepresentable fixtures on win32

CI's Windows shards caught two of my own tests: fixtures whose filenames
contain a quote and a backslash. Both are illegal on Windows -- backslash is
the path separator, quote is invalid on NTFS -- so fixture creation failed
before any assertion ran.

Test-portability defect, not a production one. Those inputs cannot exist on
that platform, so the guard has nothing to detect there.

Both now check process.platform FIRST, before any fs or git call, and use
t.skip() rather than a bare return -- a bare return registers as a PASS and
would hide the gap it is meant to record. Each carries a comment saying the
input is unrepresentable rather than unverified, so nobody later re-enables it.

No padding added: the cafe.md case already exercises git's C-quoting path on
every platform, since non-ASCII names are legal on NTFS.

This is exactly the coverage the Linux-only remote matrix cannot provide, which
the PR body already stated -- CI's Windows shards are what caught it.

debeabd524 enhance(#3587): add a per-phase commit_docs override (#3601)
* feat(#3587): add a per-phase commit_docs override

Delivers epic #2292's second user story: commit an architecture phase's
artifacts while execution phases stay local. commit_docs was project-wide and
binary, so the only choices were all phases or none.

Shape is a config dynamic key phase_commit_docs.<phase-id>, following the 14
existing dynamicKeyPatterns precedents rather than inventing a PLAN.md
frontmatter spec -- which #2292 itself flags as becoming its own maintenance
surface.

Tier 1 resolves in cmdCommit, NOT in loadConfig: loadConfig has no phase
context and is called by nearly every command, so threading one through it to
serve a single caller would be a far larger blast radius for no gain. The phase
comes from detectPhaseNumberFromFiles, which cmdCommit already computes for
branch naming and which is already hardened against the #2539 project-code bug.

Suppression by the per-phase tier returns its own reason rather than reusing
skipped_commit_docs_false -- telling a user their project setting is false when
it is true would be actively misleading. Additive; the two existing reason
strings that agents/gsd-executor.md matches on are unchanged.

The manifest's phase-id pattern is a hand-copy of PHASE_NUMBER_TOKEN_SOURCE
because the manifest is hand-maintained JSON, so a behavioral parity test
asserts both surfaces accept and reject the same token shapes.

* fix(#3587): fold tests, close review findings, update reference docs

Fold: the new tests were added as their own file, which required loosening a
grandfathered lint-test-file-count bucket 5-to-6. A ratchet exists to go down
only. commit-docs-bypass.test.cjs is the established commit_docs test home and
already hosts two folded suites, so the tests fold there as a third block and
the allowlist is reverted untouched.

Standards review: CONTEXT.md and the test header both cited a
phase-commit-docs-manifest-parity.test.cjs that never existed; a repo-wide
sweep found a fourth stale cite in the schema manifest description. All four
now name the real location.

Spec review: the issue's Scope of changes named planning-config.md and
git-planning-commit.md and neither was touched. Both now document the four-tier
precedence and the new skip reason.

Security review, minor and unproven: detectPhaseNumberFromFiles returns the
FIRST matching path's phase, so a --files list spanning two phases resolves the
override against whichever comes first. That helper is hardened and widely used,
so it is not changed; the behavior is pinned by a named test and disclosed in
the design and user docs. A pinned behavior is not a bug; an unpinned surprise
is.

3ab0007164 enh(#2875): materialization primitives — durable user-artifact staging and descriptor-authoritative agents (#3600)
* fix(#2875): stage user artifacts durably across install wipes (#1874-F19)

preserveUserArtifacts held user files only in an in-memory Map across the
wipe, so any process death between preserve and restore lost them outright.

Seven call sites, not the four the issue records. Three of them never called
the helper at all - they open-coded the same read/wipe/write - so searching
for callers under-counted by construction; the extra sites were found by
sweeping for the pattern instead.

The worst is the mainline install path, where the crash window spans the
entire gsd-core tree copy rather than a single rmSync.

Adds src/user-artifact-staging.cts: durable on-disk staging with a record
written after the copies land as the commit point, plus recovery of orphaned
batches on the next run - without recovery the staged bytes survive but the
user's file is still gone, which would pass its own test while delivering
nothing.

Routes copyPreservingSymlink through installFs() so staging cannot bypass the
install fs seam, and reunites its symlink-safety docblock with the function it
documents.

* docs(#2875): amend ADR-3574 with four claims disproved by implementation

Implementing Phase 6 disproved four statements the ADR rests on. The central
decision - no single materializer - is unaffected and stands.

Corrected: decision 3 was already satisfied, so nothing was extracted; the
agents-bypass runtime set omitted claude, kilo and opencode, and closing it
needed three new pieces of descriptor contract rather than proceeding on its
own terms; three of the four blockers the layout comment names were already
stale; and F19 is seven call sites, not four.

Records the generalizable lesson: the defect is the pattern of holding user
data in memory across a wipe, not the helper, so searching for callers of the
helper under-counts by construction.

Also resolves the ADR's open question on USER_OWNED_ARTIFACTS membership, and
notes that copyPreservingSymlink needed routing through the install fs seam
before it could be reused.

* fix(#2875): close dangling-symlink blind spot and harden staging recovery

An adversarial review found the F19 staging work shipped red and unsafe.

Root cause, shared by two arbitrary-write findings: hasExistingSymlinkBetween
missed dangling symlinks in both its root check and its per-segment walk,
because it probed with existsSync, which is false for a link whose target does
not exist. Fixing only the new module would have reused a guard that was
itself blind. This guard protects the whole install tree.

Recovery no longer throws: it degrades per entry and per file, so one bad
batch cannot block the others. Previously an unrecoverable entry propagated
out of the first statement of install and uninstall, before the cleanup that
would have removed it - wedging the installer permanently.

Partial fs adapters now throw on any omitted method instead of silently
reaching the real filesystem, closing the trap that let a test poison list
pass while real IO happened.

Staged names must be flat, recovery refuses a dangling destination symlink,
and a batch whose recovery genuinely failed is no longer swept - it was
discarding the only durable copy of the file it had just failed to restore.

Replaces three tests that could not fail, including the one labelled negative
proof.

Known limitation, documented not closed: concurrent installs sharing a staging
key can still lose a batch. A real fix needs a cross-process lock.

* enh(#2875): make the descriptor authoritative for the agents kind

Deletes the inline agent-staging loop in bin/install.js and the
_DESCRIPTOR_AGENTS_RUNTIMES set, so every runtime materializes agents from
its capability descriptor instead of an inline hostBehaviors dispatch.

Closing it needed three pieces of contract the descriptor pipeline never had,
all reducible to one missing input - per-agent resolution context: a
frontmatter-extensions step for claude's effort and disallowedTools, per-agent
model-override resolution for kilo and opencode, and a named branding
converter for hermes, whose rewrite data was already declared.

Seven runtimes were on the loop, not the six the design recorded - kimi-code
was found by a golden fixture, not by analysis. claude-local and kimi-code
both silently lost their agents mid-change; the fixtures caught both and the
cause was fixed rather than the fixtures regenerated.

A parity harness gates the migration: both pipelines over identical inputs,
byte-identical output including filenames, per runtime. It is demonstrated
red before being trusted. Surface and install paths converge for all seven,
which also fixes surface previously writing no agents for these runtimes.

Codex's config.toml strip stays put - it mutates host config, which no
descriptor kind models.

Also routes install-model-override-resolver and install-effort-resolver
through the install fs seam. Both leaked real filesystem IO from the install
call tree; the stricter adapter is what exposed them.

* docs(#2875): record the agents-descriptor migration and correct the ADR count

The _DESCRIPTOR_AGENTS_RUNTIMES allow-list no longer exists, so the host
integration guide told readers to join a set that is gone. Replaces that with
what is now true - declare an agents entry and it installs, on the surface
path as well as install - and points anyone needing a per-agent transform at
the three extension points rather than at a new inline branch.

Corrects the ADR amendment: seven runtimes were on the inline loop, not six.
kimi-code was found by a golden fixture going red, not by reading. That is the
third short count this phase, all from enumerating by symbol or set membership
when the thing that matters is a behavior.

Adds the Changed changeset for the surface-path convergence.

* docs(#2875): amend ADR-2866 - claude global always wrote agents on disk

The claude row's global=[skills] described what capability.json declared, not
what the installer wrote. bin/install.js's inline agent-staging loop was never
scope-gated and never consulted the descriptor, so a claude --global install
has always written agents/gsd-*.md.

Phase 6 closes the gap by deleting that loop and declaring agents on claude's
descriptor at global scope. On-disk bytes are unchanged - the golden fixtures
did not move, which is the evidence that the descriptor, not the installer,
was incomplete.

#2218 is unaffected: agents are not trigger-bearing, so the wider row does not
introduce a new shadowing case.

Records the warning that an incomplete descriptor is invisible while a second
code path silently does its work, and only surfaces when the two are forced
into agreement.

* fix(#2875): close review findings across staging, agents and the parity harness

Two independent reviews of this branch found defects the local gates missed.

Security: a dangling symlink at a migration destination allowed writing
outside configDir - the same class this change claimed to close, missed at the
terminal write of the flow being added. The staging-root resolver threw as the
first statement of install and uninstall, so a hostile symlink bricked both,
and symlinked-configDir users lost uninstall as well as install; it now
degrades instead of aborting. Recovery gained a source-side symlink check and
now refuses a relative destDir, which resolved against cwd. Converter dispatch
gained a runtime allowlist - lint-time validation stopped mattering once this
branch promoted that dispatch from the surface path to real installs.

Correctness: claude --local --minimal exited 1 because the minimal profile
legitimately yields zero agents and the new path treated that as a failure.
cline --local silently lost its agents - its descriptor declared none while
the deleted loop wrote them unconditionally. The agents prune was widened to
any gsd-* entry and destroyed user files it never owned.

The parity harness, on which the migration's safety argument rested, drove a
synthetic registry and never byte-compared the shipped descriptors; two of its
trap rows could not fail. It now drives the real registry across 13
runtime-scope rows including kimi-code and cline-local, and its red-proof is
demonstrated by corrupting a live capability.json. Three goldens that had
encoded the cline regression as expected behavior were corrected.

* fix(#2875): close findings from both mandated review engines

/security-review found the staging source-side walk honouring
GSD_ALLOW_SYMLINKED_DEST, an opt-in documented as relaxing only the write
destination. A symlinked files/ component dereferenced because
copyPreservingSymlink lstats the leaf only, so an intermediate link is
followed. The source walk no longer honours the opt-in; the destination check
still does.

/code-review spec axis found this branch had reintroduced its own bug:
migrateLegacyDevPreferencesToSkill's new symlink refusal threw unguarded after
the legacy dir was wiped and before the staged batch was restored, so a
planted symlink bricked uninstall permanently and orphaned the batch. Refusal
kept, abort removed.

kimi-code local silently lost its agents, the same class as the cline bug, and
the parity harness recorded that exclusion as intentional - the third test in
this branch to pin a regression as correct.

--minimal now creates an empty agents/ dir that never existed. Behaviour
restored rather than softening the changeset, so its byte-identical claim
stays true.

Standards axis: try/finally removed from twelve test bodies, fast-check
properties added for parseOwnerPid, boundary coverage at the grace window and
the ancestor-probe depth, a parity assertion for the staging-root helper
duplicated across two files, and the 8-deep config walk deduplicated.

Records 60-review.json with every finding and disposition from five passes,
including the smells left unfixed and why.

* fix(#2875): prune stale agents unconditionally in minimal mode

The previous round stopped an empty agents/ directory being created when the
resolved profile yields no agents. That was implemented by skipping the agents
kind entirely, which also skipped its stale-agent prune - so a full to minimal
downgrade left stale gsd-* agents behind.

The deleted inline loop pruned unconditionally and only skipped writing. Those
are three separate conditions, not one: prune always, write only when there is
something to write, create the directory only when writing.

Both call sites now run _removeGsdEntries before the empty-staged early exit.
The symlink-escape guard moved with it, since the prune also touches dest.
Codex .toml agents and the config.toml stanzas are cleaned again, and
user-owned agents are still preserved.

The agents/ directory is left in place after a prune empties it, matching
every sibling kind - none of them remove the destination directory itself.

Golden fixtures confirmed byte-identical: the prune is a no-op on a fresh
install, so fixture generation is unaffected.

* docs(#2875): document interrupted-install recovery for user-owned files

The durable-staging fix is invisible to the user it protects. Someone whose
install died mid-flight has no way to know USER-PROFILE.md was staged before
the delete, that the next run restores it, or that recovery happens at the
start of that run rather than in the background.

Written as the task the user has - finish the interrupted command - rather
than as a description of the mechanism, and states what it will not do:
overwrite a file already present, or touch staging belonging to another
install still running.

* chore(#2875): backfill changeset pr number

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

* test(#2875): assert the J8 model override without building a regex

CodeQL flagged incomplete string escaping: the assertion interpolated the
override value into a RegExp while escaping only forward slashes, which is
meaningless in a constructor, leaving real metacharacters unescaped.

The failure direction was the dangerous one - a metacharacter would have made
the match more permissive, so the row would pass when it should fail. That
matters here because J8 exists precisely because an earlier revision was a
tautology; the rewrite reintroduced a different way for the same assertion to
stop discriminating.

Replaced with a line-wise exact match, so no regex is constructed at all.
Swept the other test files this branch adds; no sibling instances.

lint:ci passed on the original - lint-no-adhoc-regex-escape matches a full
metachar-escape copy, so a single slash replace slipped under it.

895d9df96d fix(#3477): run untrusted key_links patterns on a linear-time engine (#3496)
`cmdVerifyKeyLinks` compiled `must_haves.key_links[].pattern` from plan frontmatter with `new RegExp()` and tested it against whole file contents, so a nested-quantifier pattern such as `(a+)+$` hung `verify-phase` indefinitely (CWE-1333). JavaScript has no regex-execution timeout.

Untrusted patterns now run on RE2 (re2js), whose match time is linear in input length — the class is closed by the engine, not by a heuristic screen. The screen lost in the ADR-0174 consolidation was deliberately NOT restored: it never worked, since `(a|a)*$`, `((a+))+$`, `(a+){2,}$` and `(a{1,3})+$` all evade it. A refused pattern's matcher returns false for every input, so it cannot report a match no matter what the caller does.

The engine is vendored at gsd-core/bin/lib/vendor/re2js.cjs because gsd-core/bin/** is copied into installed trees with no node_modules; runtime dependencies are unchanged. New ESLint rule local/no-external-require-in-bin enforces that invariant, which had been documented in a comment since the #3024/#2071 bug class and enforced nowhere.

Backreferences and look-around are unsupported by RE2 by construction — disclosed in a Changed changeset.

967bddba37 fix(#3384): strip mcp__* tool grants from zcode-installed subagents (#3483)
* fix(#3384): strip mcp__* tool grants from zcode-installed subagents

ZCode's dispatcher treats every mcp__<server>__* entry in an agent's
tools: frontmatter as a required MCP server and hard-fails the subagent
spawn (CONFIGURATION_ERROR) when it is not connected, whereas Claude Code
treats the same grants as an optional allowlist. ZCode shared Claude's
verbatim agents copy (converter: null), so all 8 MCP-granted agents
failed to spawn out of the box with zero MCP servers configured.

Add convertClaudeAgentToZcodeAgent — a line-surgical converter that
filters mcp__* entries out of the frontmatter tools: grant list (both
inline comma and YAML block-list shapes) and preserves every other byte.
Declare it on both of zcode's capability.json agents entries and cut
zcode over to the descriptor-driven agents path
(_DESCRIPTOR_AGENTS_RUNTIMES) so the legacy inline loop stops
deleting+re-copying the converted agents raw. Claude Code, Kimi, and
Gemini install behavior is unchanged.

7976b1ca0d feat(#1689): per-plan agent_hint executor routing (#3417)
* feat(#1689): per-plan agent_hint executor routing

Option A per-plan specialist routing: a plan with an `agent_hint:` frontmatter field is dispatched to that subagent instead of gsd-executor when it resolves on the active runtime; absent/unresolved/disabled falls back to gsd-executor (byte-identical). Default-on via workflow.agent_hint_routing.

- src/phase.cts: parse agent_hint into the plan-index JSON (plan_json.agent_hint)
- agent-install-check.cts: resolveAgentHint() reuses getAgentsDir + runtime filename variants; probes project + global agent dirs; fails closed; rejects path-traversing names
- gsd-tools.cjs: 'resolve-agent' query route (fail-closed to gsd-executor; --raw/--json)
- execute-phase.md: lean per-plan reference + {EXECUTOR_TYPE} placeholder (host stays under the ADR-857 Phase 6 byte ceiling)
- execute-phase/steps/per-plan-executor-routing.md: resolution logic (Agent()-based dispatch; advisory on orchestrator-worktree)
- config: workflow.agent_hint_routing (validKey, default-on via SCHEMA_DEFAULTS, boolean validator)
- docs (CONFIGURATION.md, plan-md.md), changeset, tests/agent-hint-routing-1689.test.cjs (17 tests)

* fix(#2486): reassign the health worktrees check W020 -> W024 (verify.cts namespace collision)

The workflow-level check collided with the live W020 (git-worktree-list
health) emitted by cmdValidateHealth in src/verify.cts — invisible from
health.md's error_codes table, which stops at W019 and under-represents
the real namespace (W010-W017, W020-W023 all live). W024 verified free.
Adds a regression test pinning the chosen code against src/verify.cts so
a future assignment cannot silently collide, a table note naming the
namespace owner, and the changeset body reworded to house style.

* fix(#2486): pre-select the recommended repair in the broken-inheritance case

Review round 2: at settings.md:142 the pre-selection rule left "Leave
unchanged" as the default when the config carried an explicit
non-false use_worktrees — the exact broken state the adjacent notice
warns about, so accepting the default kept a config that fails closed
at execution time. "Leave unchanged" is now the default only when the
key is absent (nothing to repair); explicit false AND explicit
non-false both pre-select "No (Recommended)", aligning the default,
the label, and the notice.

Pinned by two source-contract assertions in the #2486 regression
block. Goldens (settings.md hash x19) + size baseline regenerated.

* fix(#2486): gate the worktrees question on dispatch.isolation, not the runtime name

Review round 2: #2584 Phase 3 replaced the runtime-name test with a
declared `dispatch.isolation` capability, invalidating this PR's
premise. cursor declares harness-worktree and codex/opencode/kimi/
kimi-code declare orchestrator-worktree, so a `RUNTIME != claude` gate
blocked a supported configuration on five runtimes and false-warned in
health.

- settings.md + health.md read `query dispatch-isolation` and branch on
  `ISOLATION = none`; the runtime-name read is gone from both, and the
  capability read needs no per-runtime stamping (it fail-closes unknown/
  undocumented internally)
- all "Claude Code-only primitive" prose rewritten, including the two
  gates the shell-syntax check missed (config-key list, JSON schema
  comment)
- W024 reconciled across health.md + CONFIGURATION.md + planning-config.md
  (docs still said W020, which collides with a verify.cts code)
- health.md error-codes table fixed: the namespace note no longer sits
  between rows orphaning I001
- the asymmetry note for the two workflows #2584 has not migrated
  (quick.md, diagnose-issues.md) is enforced by a set-equality test with
  a self-check table, so it cannot go stale in either direction

* docs(#2486): restore the Executor isolation section clobbered by #2661

`46ba02ac` (feat(#2630), the current next tip) reverted docs/CONFIGURATION.md
to a pre-#2584 state: it restored the old "Non-Claude note" wording on the
workflow.use_worktrees row and deleted the whole "Executor isolation per
runtime" section. The change is unrelated to that PR's phase-estimation
feature and looks like a stale-copy edit.

This PR's use_worktrees row links to #executor-isolation-per-runtime, so the
deletion leaves a dangling anchor. Restored byte-for-byte from a40ee8a5 (the
text #2584 Phase 3 originally shipped). No link/anchor checker exists in
scripts/ or tests/, so CI would not have caught the dead link.

The reverted row wording is outside this PR's scope and is still wrong on
next; reported upstream as #2668.

* test(#2486): acknowledge the emitted size growth for settings.md and health.md

The #2723 differential attribution check (epic #2719 Phase 3) landed on next
after this branch opened and gates emitted-file growth behind a committed
acknowledgment. Both grown files are attributable to source this PR changes;
the ack names them and says why, per ADR-2719 §3.

Verified load-bearing: removing tests/emitted-drift-ack.json reproduces the
same failure; restoring it passes 59/59.

* fix(#2486): reword the W024 remediation so it names no bare gsd-tools call

The W024 warning told the user to run `gsd-tools query config-set`, a
command-position bare invocation that fails with "command not found" on a
shim-only install (#2751) — the diagnostic sent the user into a second,
more confusing error than the one it reported. The remediation now names
only `/gsd:settings` and the config key itself, both of which work on
every install layout, and the #2751 command-position gate goes green.

Fixes #2486

* fix(#2486): drop the Known-asymmetry note and its guard test — #2728 migrates both workflows

Review Major 2: once #2728 lands, the note describes a gap that no longer
exists and instructs maintainers not to do the thing that was just done —
with the set-equality guard test pinning the stale prose green. This PR now
depends on #2728 (declared in the PR body), so the note and its guard go.

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

* test(#2486): make the #2728 merge order enforceable instead of advisory

settings.md recommends and persists `workflow.use_worktrees: true` for every
runtime whose declared dispatch.isolation is not `none` — cursor
(harness-worktree) and codex/opencode/kimi/kimi-code (orchestrator-worktree).
quick.md and diagnose-issues.md consume that value at dispatch time and, while
they still gate on the runtime NAME, FATAL for all five. Merged first, this PR
reintroduces #2486's own shape for the exact runtimes it exists to help — on
the path it now labels "Recommended".

The dependency was stated only as prose in the PR body. A merge-order note is
not a gate: an automated batch merge never reads it. This adds the check that
makes the ordering structural — red while either sibling is still name-gated,
green the moment #2728 lands.

The predicate matches a RUNTIME-vs-"claude" comparison, not the legitimate
runtime-identity read, and accepts either the inline canonical
dispatch-isolation read or a reference to dispatch-isolation-gate.md, which is
the shape #2728 gives quick.md. Verified both directions against real sources:
red against the current workflows, green against #2728's.

This also closes W024's coverage window. W024 fires only when ISOLATION is
`none`, so it is structurally blind to these five runtimes — /gsd:health would
report healthy right up until quick.md FATALs. W024 cannot see the hazard, so
the hazard is prevented by making the unsafe ordering unmergeable rather than
by warning after the fact.

Separately, the W-code namespace-collision test now declares its source read
instead of passing lint silently: verify.cts emits its codes as inline string
literals across ~25 addIssue() calls and exports no enumerable registry, so
there is nothing to require() and assert against. The gap, and what it costs,
are stated in the test.

* docs(#2486): use the hyphen command form for /gsd-health in CONFIGURATION.md

docs/ is never passed through the install-time slash-form converters, so the
colon form names a command no runtime registers. Clears the sole
lint-docs-command-form violation attributable to this PR.

* fix(#2486): resolve isolation via new side-effect-free inspect-dispatch-isolation query; scope the settings change to isolation-none runtimes

Review round 4:

- B1: /gsd:health and /gsd:settings no longer call the recording
  dispatch-isolation query — on current next it persists the resolved
  decision to the executor-isolation sentinel as an unconditional #3045
  side effect, letting a read-only diagnostic hard-block executor
  dispatch for the sentinel's lifetime across sessions. Both surfaces now
  use inspect-dispatch-isolation, a new read-only verb sharing the exact
  resolution implementation (extracted resolveDispatchIsolationDecision)
  with zero writes. Behavioral tests pin: no sentinel write, per-runtime
  parity with the recording verb, recording knobs ignored, --json shape.

- B2: the #2728 merge-order interlock test is deleted — a repo test
  cannot sequence merges; it only made this PR unmergeable on its own
  schedule. The settings behavior change is scoped entirely to the
  ISOLATION=none branch, which needs nothing from #2728; the != none
  path is base behavior unchanged.

- M1: the W024-vs-verify.cts namespace test (an admitted source-grep) is
  deleted per RULESET.TESTS.delete-bad-tests, without a standing
  exemption; the namespace claim lives as guidance in health.md.

- M2: remaining allow-test-rule exemptions re-derived into documented
  categories (source-text-is-the-product, integration-test-input) with
  issue refs per ADR-456.

- Minor: settings.md's current-value read drops the stampable
  --default/fallback so key-absence stays distinguishable from an
  explicit false on non-Claude emits (the pre-selection rule depends on
  the tri-state); docs now present inspect-dispatch-isolation as the
  inspection command and name dispatch-isolation as the recording
  resolver.

* fix(#2486): put the install-marker rung in the canonical runtime resolver

Round-7 review (independent cross-AI pass over the whole PR).

BLOCKER — the gate did not fire in the default case. `resolveRuntime`
stopped at GSD_RUNTIME > config.runtime > 'claude', and
`config-new-project` writes NO `runtime` key — so on a real non-Claude
install every consumer believed it was on Claude: isolation reported
`harness-worktree`, /gsd:settings still offered "Yes (Recommended)" and
W024 stayed silent. That is #2486's own symptom, surviving the fix meant
to remove it. Verified end-to-end on a real `--qwen` install with a
runtime-neutral config and GSD_RUNTIME unset: pre-fix `harness-worktree`,
fixed `none`.

The rung lives in `resolveRuntime` (src/runtime-slash.cts), the ONE
canonical resolver, not in the isolation call site. A per-consumer fix
forks precedence: `inspect-dispatch-isolation` would answer `cursor` while
`dispatch-should-flatten` and `resolve-dispatch-type` still answered
`claude` for the same install. All three now agree. `readInstallRuntimeMarker`,
its cache and its test seams MOVED from model-resolver.cts to
runtime-slash.cts, with model-resolver re-exporting the seams — one marker
read and one cache, not two that drift.

Deliberately NOT `resolveActiveRuntime`/`loadConfig`: an intermediate
revision of this fix routed through `loadConfig`, which normalizes and
rewrites legacy keys back to disk. That gave `inspect-dispatch-isolation`
— the verb whose entire purpose is being side-effect-free — a write side
effect, which is the defect the verb exists to avoid. `resolveRuntime`
reads .planning/config.json directly. Re-verified: the inspect query
against a real install creates no `.gsd/`.

Tests, both of which were too weak in the first attempt and are now
fail-first proven:
- The W024 behavioral stub returned success-with-empty-output for an absent
  key. Real `config-get` EXITS NON-ZERO, and the `|| echo "true"` fallback
  only triggers on failure — so reintroducing the fallback would have passed.
  The stub now returns 1 for the absent case.
- The marker regression asserted on the exported helper, so reverting
  gsd-tools.cjs to a marker-blind resolver still passed. It now drives a real
  `--qwen` install through the shipped `inspect-dispatch-isolation` query.
  (GSD_TEST_MODE must be cleared for that child, or install.js no-ops while
  still exiting 0 — a green test over an install that wrote nothing.)
  Spawned through `installSpawnEnv()` so ambient GSD_HOME cannot leak in.

Also: the three PR-added `try/finally` test bodies converted to `t.after()`
per CONTRIBUTING; CONTEXT.md's `worktree create` UNCONSUMED claim corrected
(Phase 3 calls it in executor-isolation-dispatch.md); docs/CONFIGURATION.md
now states the current non-Claude `use_worktrees` default rather than
describing capability-scoped stamping that lands with #2652; resolver
precedence comments updated to name the marker rung.

Refs #2668

* fix(#2486): split the marker rung out; make the use_worktrees doc row order-independent

Round-8 review. trek-e's Blocker was procedural — commit 10fba7b8 moved the
per-install .gsd-runtime marker rung into the canonical resolver, a large
blast-radius change that arrived undisclosed and unreviewed. They offered
two remedies; taking the second: SPLIT IT OUT.

src/runtime-slash.cts and src/model-resolver.cts are reverted to their next
state and the marker regression test is removed. What remains is what this
PR was filed for: the settings.md / health.md / gsd-tools.cjs isolation
query, W024, and the #2668 docs restoration.

COST, stated plainly rather than buried: without that rung this PR's gate
resolves 'claude' on a non-Claude install whose project config carries no
`runtime` key — which is every config config-new-project writes. On those
installs W024 stays quiet and /gsd-settings still offers Worktrees. The gate
is correct whenever the runtime IS resolvable (GSD_RUNTIME set, or an
explicit config.runtime). That is why `Fixes #2486` is already downgraded to
`Refs` — #2486 must not close until the residual lands. A KNOWN LIMITATION
comment at the resolver call site names #2395 so this does not read as an
oversight.

The rung itself belongs to #2395, which reports this exact defect and was
closed by #2446 — a PR that touched only bin/install.js and fixtures and
never runtime-slash.cts, so it persisted the identity into
~/.gsd/defaults.json, a tier resolveRuntime does not read. Evidence and a
reopen request are posted there. That same tier is #2566's B1.

DOCS — the reviewer flagged that this row and #2728's are order-dependent:
whichever merges second falsifies the other. Removed the dependency instead
of picking an order. The "Current default … until #2652" paragraph is now a
plain troubleshooting note, true before and after #2728 lands.

CONFLICT — one hunk in CONTEXT.md: next added the #2596 scope-conformance
interface to the same Worktree-Safety paragraph where this PR corrected the
`worktree create` UNCONSUMED claim. Resolved keeping both.

Verified: lint:ci green. Full suite clean apart from the pre-existing
#1160 installed-runtime capability surface. (emitted-attribution also failed
until the fork's stale next was fast-forwarded — it defaults to origin/next,
which was 131 commits behind; 175/175 against the current base.)

* fix(#2486): address round-9 review — distinguish "cannot resolve" from "declares none", reject recording-only args on the read verb

Codex review of the whole PR, five findings, all verified against source first.

Major 3 (the one real defect). Both surfaces read isolation as
`ISOLATION=$(… || echo "none")`, so a resolver failure became indistinguishable
from a genuine `dispatch.isolation: none` declaration — and W024's text then
asserts the latter, telling a user their runtime declares no executor-isolation
primitive when GSD simply could not find out. health.md and settings.md now
capture the raw value and track ISOLATION_RESOLVED, the same shape
references/dispatch-isolation-gate.md already uses (#2652 review). W024 gained a
second message for the unresolved case; settings still fails closed there — it
must never persist a `true` it cannot justify — but reports what happened rather
than a verdict it never reached.

Major 4. `dispatch-isolation` applies --force-isolation AFTER the shared
resolver returns; inspection accepted the flag and silently ignored it, so the
same argv yielded 'none' from one verb and the declared capability from the
other. inspect-dispatch-isolation now rejects --force-isolation/--phase/--plan
as usage errors. Verified by mutation: disabling the guard reds exactly the
three new rejection tests.

Major 1. settings.md claimed this flow and the execution guards "always reach
the same verdict". False while quick.md still gates on the runtime name: an
orchestrator-worktree host can be offered a `true` that /gsd:quick rejects as
fatal, W024 silent because isolation is not none. Scoped the claim to the
capability gate, named #2728 as the conversion, and added the same caveat to the
CONFIGURATION.md use_worktrees row. Not a behavior change — the `!= none` branch
is untouched base behavior.

Major 2. "side-effect-free" overstated it: every gsd-tools invocation runs the
shared bootstrap, and getActiveWorkstream unlinks a stale workstream pointer.
That is pre-existing, verb-independent and cannot block a dispatch; writing the
sentinel can. Renamed the claim to "sentinel-free" everywhere and documented
precisely what is and is not asserted.

Minor 5. The JSON parity test asserted against a handwritten key list and never
invoked the recording verb, so the two could diverge and stay green. It now runs
`dispatch-isolation --json` in a separate project dir and deep-compares, with a
control asserting that verb DID write a sentinel. Added the orchestrator exec
branch (--cwd-target) the registry parity test never covered.

runtime-converters.test.cjs pinned the old `|| echo "none"` line as canonical —
that literal was the Major 3 defect. Repinned as two invariants (the raw read is
present; the collapsing fallback is absent) plus an ISOLATION_RESOLVED
requirement, so reformatting does not fail the test but a semantic regression
does.

settings.md sits at 40777 bytes against the 40960 DEFAULT hard cap. The
round-9 prose was compressed to fit rather than raising the cap.

Validated: lint:ci clean; full suite green except the two failures that
reproduce identically on pristine next @ 33fca50d (#1160 _resolveManifest, and
the #3053 quick_id tests, which compare a local-time expectation against a
TZ=UTC child and so only pass on a UTC host).

* fix(#2486): second review pass — drop a dangling reference, correct the whole unresolved branch, pin the branch behaviorally

Codex re-review of the full PR after the first round-9 pass. It confirmed Majors
1, 2 and 4 and Minor 5 fixed, and found seven more. All verified against source.

Minor 5 was mine and the worst of them: settings.md and health.md pointed at
`gsd-core/references/dispatch-isolation-gate.md`, which exists only on the #2728
branch — not in this PR and not on the merge-base. Merging this alone would have
shipped three dangling canonical-source references. Removed; the surrounding
text now stands on its own.

Major 2. The unresolved branch corrected only the two option descriptions. The
pre-selection rationale still claimed an absent key already resolves to false on
this runtime, and the explicit-true notice still stated the runtime declares no
primitive — both capability verdicts that were never reached. The substitution
rule now covers every place in that branch that asserts one.

Major 3. The repinned invariants could not catch the mutation they existed to
catch: flipping the shipped block's ISOLATION_RESOLVED=true to false left all
three green, since they only assert the raw read is present, the token appears,
and the collapsing fallback is gone. Added a behavioral test that drives the
shipped W024 block twice — resolver answering vs resolver exiting non-zero — and
asserts the two emit different text, that the unresolved branch says "could not
resolve", and that it does NOT claim the runtime has no primitive. Verified: the
true->false mutation now reds it.

Major 1. The verb fail-closes an unknown or undeclared runtime to `none` and
exits 0, so ISOLATION_RESOLVED=true means "the query answered", not "the runtime
published a declaration" — the shell cannot see an internal fallback. Exposing
provenance is an API change and out of scope here, so W024's resolved-case text
is instead written to be true of every path that reaches it ("no usable
executor-isolation primitive — declared or fail-closed from an unknown value"),
and both workflows state the limit of the signal explicitly.

Minor 4. The rejection tests regex-matched human prose, so swapping
ERROR_REASON.USAGE for UNKNOWN would have kept them green while breaking machine
consumers. They now pass --json-errors and assert reason === 'usage' on the
parsed envelope.

Minor 6. CONTEXT.md still described the verb as side-effect-free. Now
sentinel-free, consistent with the router comment and the other two surfaces.

Minor 7. 183 bytes of headroom under the 40960 hard cap was called
unacceptable, and it was — a routine 184-byte edit would have failed CI.
Compressed this PR's own settings.md prose (the #2486 block was carrying ~7.1KB
of rationale) to 40499 bytes, 458 free. Two phrases other tests pin verbatim
were restored after the first compression pass reworded them.

Validated: lint:ci clean; full suite green except the two failures that
reproduce identically on pristine next @ 33fca50d.

* fix(#2486): third review pass — placeholder table replaces the fragile substitution rule

Codex round 3 blocked the push on two Majors. Both verified and real.

Major 2 was the substantive one and my error. The round-2 fix told the model to
find and replace the string "this runtime declares no executor-isolation
primitive (dispatch.isolation: none)" — text that does not appear anywhere in
the branch. The first option description has no parenthetical, the second
asserts "absent, it already resolves to false on this runtime" (not covered at
all), and the pre-selection rationale and notice carried three more unsupported
assertions. A model following the instruction literally would have found no
match and changed nothing.

Replaced with three named placeholders — {FINDING}, {CONSEQUENCE}, {ABSENCE} —
and a two-column table giving each one's resolved and unresolved wording. Every
assertion in the branch now flows from the table, so none of them can outrun
what was actually established, and there is no string-matching to get wrong. It
is also shorter than the prose it replaced.

Major 1: the resolver catches thrown errors and returns none successfully, a
path the round-2 wording ("declared, or unknown/undeclared") did not cover.
Both surfaces now say "declared as none, or fail-closed because the capability
could not be determined", which is true of the thrown path too, and both state
that an internal resolution error is among the things the verb fail-closes.
Still not provenance — the verb cannot distinguish these for the caller — but no
longer a claim the code contradicts.

Minor 3: the behavioral test asserted only that the two branches differ and that
the resolved one omits "could not resolve", so arbitrary resolved text stayed
green. Now pins what it must positively say: the capability finding, the
fail-closed consequence, the offending key, and (both branches) the repair
command.

Minor 4: two stale artifacts the round-2 sweep missed — a test comment still
citing the #2728-only references/dispatch-isolation-gate.md, and the emitted
drift ack still describing inspection as side-effect-free. Also aligned the two
remaining router comments to sentinel-free.

settings.md 40420 bytes, 540 free under the cap.

* fix(#2486): fourth review pass — stop recommending a repair whose effect depends on the emit

Codex round 4, one Major and three Minors. The Major is a real hole and worth
the round.

W024 advised "remove the key from .planning/config.json so the runtime default
(false) applies". That default is not false everywhere: execute-phase.md:102,
quick.md:155 and diagnose-issues.md:62 all read the key as
`|| echo "true"`, and only `_stampNonClaudeRuntimeDefaults` rewrites them to
`--default false` on a non-Claude emit. So on an un-stamped emit the advised
repair leaves use_worktrees resolving to TRUE against isolation none — exactly
the state W024 exists to flag. Reachable in the round-3 gap: a caught internal
resolver error returns none with rc=0, so ISOLATION_RESOLVED is true and the
confident branch fires on a host whose emit was never stamped.

Fixed by removing the dependence rather than the symptom: both surfaces now say
to set workflow.use_worktrees false explicitly, and say why deleting the key is
not equivalent. The {ABSENCE} placeholder no longer claims absence resolves to
false unconditionally — it is scoped to an emit that stamped that default.

Minor: the notice and W024 hardcoded .planning/config.json, which is the wrong
file in an active workstream (settings itself resolves $GSD_CONFIG_PATH
correctly). Both now say "the project config", naming the workstream case.

Minor: the new repair pin required the literal /gsd:settings, a form documented
as no longer routable. Relaxed to accept the canonical slash and $-prefixed
forms so a correct rewording cannot fail the test.

Nit: two test descriptions still said side-effect-free.

Not fixed, deliberately: the verb still cannot tell a caught resolver error from
a declared none, so ISOLATION_RESOLVED remains a signal about the CALL, not the
declaration. Both workflows now state that limit outright. Exposing provenance
is a change to the query contract that belongs with the runtime-resolution work
in #2395, not here.

Validated: lint:ci clean; full suite green except the two failures that
reproduce identically on pristine next @ 33fca50d. The only change after that
suite run was removing a redundant regex escape flagged by eslint; that test was
re-run individually and eslint is clean.

* fix(#2486): fifth review pass — stop recommending "leave it absent" as the safe default

Codex round 5, one Major: the round-4 fix corrected the {ABSENCE} wording but
left the pre-selection rule built on the assumption it had just falsified. An
absent key still pre-selected "Leave unchanged" on the rationale that there was
nothing to repair. Absence resolves to false only where the emit stamped that
default; on an un-stamped emit it reads as true, so accepting the recommended
default could preserve the exact isolation-none-plus-true state this branch
exists to prevent.

The isolation-none branch now pre-selects "No (Recommended)" in every case,
including an absent key. Writing an explicit false is correct under either emit;
"Leave unchanged" stays available for the deliberate shared-config case but is
never the default. The test that pinned the old rule pinned a falsified
assumption, so it now pins the new one and asserts the old sentence is gone.

Also tightened the round-4 repair regex, which had been relaxed far enough to
accept `$gsd:settings` and `/gsd:settings-bogus`. It now matches only the
canonical `/gsd-settings`, `/gsd:settings` and `$gsd-settings` forms.

* fix(#2486): make the inspection exemption block-scoped, and drop the last pre-#2728 claim

Codex review of the conflict resolution: one Major, two Minors, all real.

Major. The inspection-surface exemption I added to #2728's "every dispatch-site
degrade block re-records" guard was FILE-wide. Codex probed it by adding an
unrecorded executor block to health.md: the exemption assertions still passed,
the whole file was skipped, and the offender went unreported. That is the same
hole the hand-listed revision of this guard had — a promise of "every dispatch
site" with a silent carve-out.

Now scoped per block. A block earns the exemption only by resolving through
`inspect-dispatch-isolation` AND carrying no dispatch primitive (`Agent(`,
`harnessFlag`/`HARNESS_FLAG`, `isolation="worktree"`, or the recording verb).
The file-level assertions remain as a precondition on top. Verified with Codex's
own probe: the appended dispatch block is now reported at health.md:285, while
the legitimate inspection block still passes.

Minor. settings.md still carried the caveat saying `quick.md` gates on the
runtime name and "#2728 converts that surface". #2728 has landed. Same obsolete
premise already removed from docs/CONFIGURATION.md in the merge commit; this was
the copy I missed. Removing it also returns 413 bytes, so settings.md now has
688 free under the 40960 cap rather than 275.

Minor. Four scratch-directory prefixes still read `w024` after the renumber.
Non-functional, but the whole point of the rename was that W024 now means
someone else's warning.

Validated: lint:ci clean; full suite green except the two failures that
reproduce identically on pristine next.

* fix(#2486): name the diagnostics' state INSPECTED_ISOLATION and delete the exemption

Codex probed the per-block exemption and it was still escapable: DISPATCH_PRIMITIVE
matched only `Agent(`, two harness-flag spellings, `isolation="worktree"` and the
recording verb, so `Task(`, `spawn_agent(`, a `codex exec` process dispatch, and —
unfixably by any regex — the repo's normal split shape (isolation resolved in one
bash fence, dispatch in a later one) all still qualified as exempt.

Took Codex's suggested fix, which is better than the one it replaces. The
diagnostics now name their state `INSPECTED_ISOLATION` / `INSPECTED_RESOLVED` /
`_INSPECTED_RAW` instead of reusing the dispatch-site names. #2728's guard scans
for a literal `ISOLATION=none`, so health.md and settings.md fall outside it BY
CONSTRUCTION and the exemption is deleted outright — no carve-out to escape, and
a diagnostic that ever writes a real `ISOLATION=none` is caught like any other
site. The name is also just more accurate: an inspection result is not a dispatch
decision.

Pinned so the reasoning cannot be lost: the #2486 suite now asserts neither
diagnostic assigns the bare `ISOLATION` name, with the rationale in the comment.
Verified by mutation — renaming back makes #2728's guard flag health.md:107 AND
fails the new naming pin.

Net effect on the guard's coverage is positive: before this PR it scanned two
fewer files by exemption; now it scans everything.

0396d9cab1 enhance(#2483): stop the claude reviewer lane from inheriting CLAUDE.md + auto-memory (#2493)
* enhance(#2483): env-guard the claude reviewer leg against CLAUDE.md injection

The claude reviewer in workflows/review.md was a bare headless `claude -p`
spawn run from the project cwd, so it inherited the invoking user's global
CLAUDE.md, the project CLAUDE.md, and Claude Code auto-memory.

That made it the only reviewer leg seeing anything beyond the prompt file.
gather_context assembles PROJECT.md, the roadmap section, every PLAN file,
CONTEXT.md, RESEARCH.md and REQUIREMENTS.md into the prompt before any
reviewer runs; the gemini leg receives only that prompt and the codex leg
runs --ephemeral. Beyond the measured ~4k tokens/spawn, the asymmetry cuts
at the workflow's own premise: "independent review" meant something
different for the claude leg than for the other two.

Guard both dispatch lines with a per-invocation
`env CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_CLAUDE_MDS=1`. `env`, never `export` — the flag
must not leak into the orchestrating session (which may itself be Claude
Code on the SELF_CLI="auto" path) or into any later spawn.

review.md is the only claude -p call site in the installed tree, so this is
two lines on one surface. The self-skip logic is untouched.

* enhance(#2483): fix CRLF-fragile split and regenerate workflow baselines

Two CI failures from the first push, both mine:

1. lint-tests: the new regression test split readFileSync content on a
   literal "\n". On a Windows git-autocrlf checkout that leaves a trailing
   "\r" on every line (local/no-crlf-fragile-split). Use .split(/\r?\n/).

2. golden-install-parity / workflow-size-budget / workflow-compat: editing
   gsd-core/workflows/review.md changes its content hash and byte size, and
   both are pinned in committed baselines. Regenerated via the repo's own
   generators (npm run size:baseline, npm run gen:golden).

The regenerated diffs are review.md-only: exactly one hash line per
golden-install-parity fixture and one size entry in workflow-size-baseline
— no unrelated drift swept in.

Full suite now green locally: 2113 pass, 0 fail, 3 skipped (run with HOME
and CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR overridden to throwaway dirs; live profile verified
untouched afterward).

* enhance(#2483): adapt guard-test matcher to the effort-args dispatch reshape

The effortSurface wiring (#2481) reshaped the bare-model dispatch to
`claude $CLAUDE_EFFORT_ARGS -p -`; the invocation matcher's dash-first
form could no longer see it, and the count assertion failed exactly as
designed. The matcher now tolerates variable expansions between `claude`
and its first literal flag. Negative-controlled both ways: a stripped
guard and a deleted dispatch line each still fail.

* enhance(#2483): also guard the claude leg against auto-memory injection

CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_CLAUDE_MDS suppresses CLAUDE.md file loading;
auto-memory is an independently-toggled mechanism with its own flag.
Add CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_AUTO_MEMORY=1 to both dispatch lines, correct
the docs/COMMANDS.md and changeset claims that credited the first flag
with covering auto-memory, and extend the regression test to require
both flags on every claude invocation (negative-controlled: 2/4
assertions fail with the new flag removed).

* enhance(#2483): match the claude binary in command position, not argument position

The line-oriented invocation matcher counted any line where the token
`claude` was followed by a flag. #2589 (landed on next as 920a5f3f)
reshaped the effort-args lookup from

  --host claude 2>/dev/null | jq -r '.effort_argv_string // ""'

to

  --host claude --pick effort_argv_string

which put a flag immediately after `claude` and made the config query
read as a third claude dispatch, failing the count assertion.

The defect class is a binary name in *argument* position being read as a
command. Fixed at the class rather than the instance: tokenise the line
and skip any `claude` whose preceding token is a flag. That also covers
the latent sibling one line away in review.md (`command -v claude`),
which escaped today only because its next token is a redirect.

Negative-controlled four ways: stripping CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_AUTO_MEMORY=1
fails, stripping the whole env guard fails, adding a genuine third
unguarded dispatch (`timeout 900 claude --output-format text -p -`) still
fails — so the narrowing did not blind the matcher to reshapes, which is
the property the count assertion exists for — and the pre-#2589 jq form of
the lookup still passes, so the matcher is not pinned to today's base.

* enhance(#2483): carry the claude reviewer's memory guard as declared lane data

ADR-2782 Phase 5b replaced the hand-authored per-CLI dispatch legs in
review.md with the declared lane table, so the two `env`-prefixed shell
lines this PR previously added no longer have a surface to live on. The
guard is reimplemented where the lane contract now lives.

`SpawnInvoke` gains an optional `env`, the claude lane declares the pair,
the resolver folds own string-valued entries into `SpawnPlan.env` (absent
or empty resolves to null, so the runner has one shape to test), and the
runner passes it to spawn. Production merges it OVER `process.env` into a
fresh object for that one child, so nothing reaches the orchestrating
session or any other lane in the run.

Declared data rather than a handler (D6): the pairs are static per lane,
which is precisely what the manifest vocabulary is for. The capability
manifest carries the same field, because the lane-fidelity test compares
manifest and descriptor over the union of `invoke`'s keys.

The regression test is rewritten against the resolver and runner rather
than review.md's text. It gains the property the source-text assertions
could only approximate: that `process.env` is never mutated.

Scope boundary, asserted rather than left in prose: `env` is not part of
the trust-disclosure surface, which is safe only while no manifest body
reaches the resolver — the registry's reviewer bodies contribute slugs to
the parity check and execution resolves from `REVIEWER_LANES`. The new
test fails first if that ever changes.

* enhance(#2483): restate the guard's mechanism in the docs and changeset

Both described the fix as two `env`-prefixed dispatch lines, which is the
surface ADR-2782 Phase 5b removed. The user-visible behaviour is
unchanged; the carrier is not, and a changeset that ships a description
of a mechanism the tree does not have is a CHANGELOG entry nobody can
verify against the code.

* enhance(#2483): cover the production spawn wiring end to end

The unit tests stop at the runner's `deps.spawn` seam — every one injects
a spy. Production supplies that seam in `gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs` as a
hand-written object no test constructs, so the chain could be correct all
the way to `SpawnPlan.env` and the merge could still be wrong or absent
with the suite green. Deleting those four lines was the one mutation that
left every other control silent.

This runs the real `spawnSync` through `gsd-tools review-lane invoke`,
with a `claude` shim on PATH that records the environment it was handed.
It asserts both halves in one test: the pair arrives, and an unrelated
inherited variable survives — a wiring that REPLACED the environment
rather than merging over it would satisfy the first and break every
lane's PATH and HOME.

POSIX-only; mediating a Windows `.cmd` shim is a separate concern the
repo already tests on its own.

Noted rather than fixed: `timeout`, `killSignal`, `maxBuffer` and
`shell: false` on that same object are equally uncovered. That is the
epic's gap, not this change's, and closing it is not in scope here.

* enhance(#2483): validate the invoke.env shape and register it as spawn-only

`env` was the one spawn-invoke field with no shape enforcement: every sibling in
`validateSpawnInvoke` is checked, and a manifest declaring `env` as an array, a
string, a number, or an object with non-string values passed validation in
silence. That matters more than an ordinary schema gap here, because
`resolveLanePlan` DROPS a non-string value rather than coercing it — so an
unvalidated manifest declares a pair that never reaches the spawn, which is the
failure a memory guard can least afford.

Two registrations, not one. `env` was also absent from
`SPAWN_ONLY_INVOKE_FIELDS`, which is the list the openai-http arm rejects
against — so `invoke.env` was accepted on a transport that issues an HTTP POST
and has no child environment at all. It was the only spawn-shaped field accepted
there; the other six each produce two errors. Self-found while sweeping the
class, not raised in review.

Keys are held to the portable POSIX environment-name grammar. That is a policy,
not a claim about what an environment can hold: measured, only NUL is actually
rejected by `spawnSync`, while `=`, a leading digit, a dash and a space are all
carried through to the child (an `A=B` key arrives as the raw entry `A=B=value`).
They are refused because a name outside the grammar is not portably addressable
by the program meant to read it.

`__proto__` is refused for a different and concrete reason. It passes that
grammar and is a real own key once a manifest is JSON-parsed, but assigning it
onto a plain accumulator goes through the inherited `__proto__` setter rather
than creating an own property — and for the string values this field permits the
setter is a no-op that does not even change the prototype. The pair would
validate and then simply vanish before the spawn. (An environment CAN carry a
literal `__proto__` entry; this is about the resolver's accumulator, and the
error message says so.)

Deliberately narrower than the sibling reserved-name guards in this file, which
also reject `constructor`/`prototype`: those guard bracket lookups that resolve
prototype members, whereas this reads via `Object.keys` plus an own-value read,
where `constructor` assigns as an ordinary key the spawn could carry.

`effortChannel` is deliberately left in neither field list: ADR-2782 D2 defines
it for both transports, so it is shared rather than spawn-only.

Reversion-controlled, three mutations, all three fire a named test: dropping
`env` from the discriminator fails `httpTransportRejectsEnv`; removing the
`__proto__` arm fails `envRejectsProtoKeyThatWouldSilentlyVanish`; disabling
the block fails four.

(#2483)

* enhance(#2483): amend ADR-2782 D2 for the invoke.env vocabulary widening

D2 records the spawn `invoke` shape as a closed vocabulary, and its Amendments
section carries a dated entry for every prior widening (Phase 1 #2794, Phase 2
corrections #2795, Phase 5b #2799). This change extended that vocabulary in code
without touching the ADR governing it, so the ADR contradicted the
implementation — and the repo's own convention, recorded in CONTEXT.md, is that
the ADR is amended in the same PR precisely because the prior widenings did it
correctly.

Adds the `invoke.env` row to the D2 table and a dated Amendments entry.

The entry also corrects the authority this change cited. The source comment
pointed at D6, which governs the closed `handler` enum — imperative behavior
admitted first-party — and says nothing about the `invoke` field vocabulary.
That is D2's territory, so the citation never covered the gap.

Two claims are corrected rather than restated, both about the trust boundary
that justifies leaving `env` out of the D5 disclosure signature:

- The regression test does not enforce that boundary. On one forged lane it
  shows the resolver folds whatever it is handed, so a future path feeding it
  manifest lanes would not make any assertion in that test fail. Its comment
  claimed it "will fail first"; that was wrong, and both the comment and the
  ADR now say the boundary is a property of the production call chain instead.
- The ADR is internally inconsistent on whether third-party manifest lanes
  execute at all: Consequences says adding a reviewer needs "no core patch",
  while `gsd-tools.cjs` rejects every slug absent from the first-party
  REVIEWER_LANES map. CONTEXT.md, `workflows/review.md` and the resolver's own
  header take the first view. #2483 did not create that inconsistency and does
  not resolve it; the entry records it rather than settling it in its own favour.

(#2483)

* enhance(#2483): document invoke.env in the capability-manifest reference

ADR-2782 points capability and plugin authors at
`docs/reference/capability-manifest.md` as where the lane vocabulary must be
visible, and its `invoke` row enumerates the spawn sub-shape field by field.
`env` was absent from that table while being part of the real shape, so the one
document a third-party capability author would actually consult to learn the
field exists did not mention it.

Squarely Diataxis reference material — a field-by-field schema description — so
it goes here rather than in the user-facing prose, which was already updated.
States the constraints a manifest author can actually trip, and is explicit that
the name grammar is a portability policy rather than an OS limit, so a reader
does not take it for a claim about what an environment can hold.

(#2483)

* enhance(#2483): disclose and sign the reviewer lane's env and residual invoke fields

`invoke.env` was undisclosed at install time. That was defensible while manifest
lanes could not execute — the premise this PR's own ADR amendment recorded — and
#2927/#3062 retired it: `routeReviewLane` now merges installed overlay `reviewer`
bodies into its lane map via `mergeReviewerLanes`, which is a field-identical merge
by ADR-2782 D1 and deliberately does not deep-validate. An overlay's whole `invoke`
therefore reaches `resolveLanePlan`, and `env` reaches the spawned child. A consented
third-party capability could set `NODE_OPTIONS=--require ./evil.js` on a reviewer lane
with no install-time disclosure and no re-consent.

The same file already decided what `env` means in a manifest: MCP servers fold it into
the disclosure signature and render each key and value in the consent prompt, with an
inline rationale naming this exact shape. Reviewer lanes get the identical treatment.

`env` was the ninth unsigned invoke field, not the first. `defaultHost` (the manifest's
OWN fallback egress host, used whenever the config key resolves to nothing),
`path`, `outputChannel`/`outputArg`, `modelArg`, `effortChannel` and `modelDiscovery`
all reach `resolveLanePlan` and none was bound. Enumerating a ninth name leaves the
tenth open, so the lane signature carries a RESIDUAL of every other declared `invoke`
key — the completeness backstop `rawConfig` already gives the MCP line (#1459 finding 5),
and the "sign the whole object" remedy the recorded decision on this class prefers.

`defaultHost` is also rendered: `resolvedHost` comes from user config, so a lane whose
key is unset displayed "(unresolved …)" — which reads as "no destination" — while the
runtime egresses the plan and review text to the address the manifest picked.

D4.5 is preserved one level down: the extra element is appended ONLY when the lane
declares something beyond the eight already-bound fields, so an env-free lane's
signature stays byte-identical and no already-consented capability is re-prompted for
a field it does not use. A lane that does declare one re-consents, which is the point.

Execution-primitive env names are FLAGGED in the prompt, not refused in the validator.
A denylist cannot be the boundary here: `PATH` alone is a complete execution primitive
for a spawn lane and can never be refused, the child is an arbitrary third-party binary
so the true set spans every interpreter's injection vars, and the MCP `env` this mirrors
refuses nothing and discloses everything. Missing a name costs a quieter line, never a
boundary.

Refs #2483.

* enhance(#2483): exercise the real overlay merge path in the guard test

The test named for the manifest/first-party boundary did not test it. It built a
forged lane locally, handed it straight to `resolveLanePlan`, and asserted that
`REVIEWER_LANES` did not contain it — so no assertion in it depended on the claim its
name made, and a code path that fed manifest lanes to the resolver would not have made
it fail. Its own comment said as much, and named the production chain as the real
carrier of the guarantee: "gsd-tools.cjs builds its lane map solely from REVIEWER_LANES".

That sentence is now false. #3062 merged overlay reviewer bodies into that map, so the
test's premise and its subject both moved.

The replacement routes through `mergeReviewerLanes` — the real helper the production
path calls — and asserts the overlay lane is admitted, resolves, and carries its `env`
into `SpawnPlan.env`. That makes the security property falsifiable instead of narrated.
It then asserts what now backs it: the env is disclosed on the surface, rendered key
and value in the consent prompt, flagged when the name is an execution primitive, and
bound to the signature so a value change, an addition, or a removal each force
re-consent.

Three further cases, because the finding's generative half is what stops it recurring:
the residual backstop is asserted against five fields including one that does not exist
(`aFieldThatDoesNotExistYet`), so a future vocabulary widening cannot silently re-open
this; a fully-enumerated lane is pinned to its original 8-tuple, which is what keeps the
fix from re-prompting every consented capability; and an http lane's manifest-declared
`defaultHost` is asserted to reach both the prompt and the signature.

Reversion-controlled, seven mutations, all seven fail a named test: env dropped from the
surface, the prompt's env line removed, the execution-primitive warning removed, the
signature's extra element never appended, the residual emptied, the defaultHost line
removed, and the declares-something test un-widened. The last of those was SILENT on its
first run and its test was written in response, then the control re-run.

Refs #2483.

* enhance(#2483): correct the ADR amendment's manifest-lane premise

The amendment argued `env` needed no D5 disclosure because a manifest's `invoke`
fields never reach `resolveLanePlan`. That was true when written and #3062 retired it
22 hours after this branch's last commit: `routeReviewLane` now builds its lane map
from `mergeReviewerLanes(REVIEWER_LANES, loadRegistry({includeInstalled: true}))`, and
D1's no-translation-layer rule makes that a field-identical merge, so an overlay's
whole `invoke` reaches the resolver and executes.

The entry had named this exact trigger — "were manifest lanes ever made executable,
`env` must join the disclosed surface in that change, and nothing here will trip if it
does not." Nothing tripped. The premise is rewritten to current truth rather than
annotated, because an ADR is read in fragments and a superseded paragraph left standing
reads as live reasoning to the next author; a one-line dated tombstone points at git for
the withdrawn text.

The rewritten entry records four things the first draft could not: that the enumeration
itself was the defect (`env` was the ninth unbound `invoke` field, and `defaultHost` and
`path` are egress-relevant on their own), that the residual is what closes the class,
that D4.5's byte-identical-signature property is preserved by appending the residual only
when a lane declares something beyond the eight bound fields, and that consent — not
shape validation — is the boundary, since no honest env denylist can exclude `PATH`.

It also closes the internal inconsistency the previous entry could only record. This ADR,
`CONTEXT.md`, `gsd-core/workflows/review.md` and `resolveLanePlan`'s own header all said
overlay lanes reach the resolver while the runtime said otherwise; #3062 resolved that in
the documents' favour, which is what makes the disclosure mandatory rather than defensive.

Refs #2483.

* enhance(#2483): record in the manifest reference that invoke fields are consent-bound

`docs/reference/capability-manifest.md` is the field table ADR-2782 points capability
authors at, and it described `invoke` purely as a schema. A third-party author reading it
could not learn that everything they declare there is shown to the user at install and
bound to the consent signature — which is exactly what they need to know now that an
overlay reviewer lane executes (#2927/#3062).

States the two things the schema alone cannot: that `env` and `defaultHost` are named in
the consent prompt and the rest is covered by a residual, so any change to a declared
`invoke` field forces re-consent; and that `env`'s validation is a portability policy
rather than a safety boundary, since `PATH` is a complete execution primitive and cannot
be refused. Names that are execution primitives are highlighted in the prompt instead.

Refs #2483.

* enhance(#2483): add a Security changeset for the reviewer-lane disclosure

The existing fragment describes the enhancement this PR was opened for and stays as it
is. The disclosure fix is a separate user-visible change of a different type: a
capability declaring `invoke.env` or `invoke.defaultHost` will ask for consent once
more, and users are entitled to read why in the changelog rather than discover it as an
unexplained prompt.

Type is `Security` rather than `Changed` because the entry describes a closed
code-execution disclosure gap, not a behaviour adjustment.

Refs #2483.

* enhance(#2483): correct this round's own claim about who gets re-prompted

Self-found while auditing the round's claims before publishing them. The changeset and
the ADR entry both stated that a capability declaring `invoke.env` or `defaultHost`
"will ask for consent once more". That is wrong, and it overstated the cost of the fix
in the one direction a maintainer would have had to take on trust.

A code change to `disclosureSignature` re-prompts nobody. `hasProjectConsent` matches on
the recomputed bundle `contentHash` — the signature has not been the security binding
since #1459 CB-1/CB-2 — and the upgrade path's `executableSetChanged(old, new)` compares
two disclosures both computed by the CURRENT code, so widening the signature moves both
sides of that comparison equally. First-party capabilities never reach the path at all:
the install flow blocks a first-party id before trust evaluation.

What the widening actually buys is forward-looking, and is the real argument for it: an
upgrade whose manifest edits a declared `invoke` field now registers as an
executable-surface change and re-consents, where before it could change what the lane
runs in silence.

Also measured and recorded, because the D4.5 property was stated more strongly than it
deserved: of the twelve first-party reviewer capabilities, ZERO are in the
byte-identical-signature class — every real lane declares at least `effortChannel`. The
property is a guarantee about minimal lanes, not a description of the fleet, and the ADR
now says so.

Refs #2483.

* enhance(#2483): sign and disclose the probe binary and the lane's outer fields

Found by this round's own adversarial review, and it is the same defect one level out:
the `invoke` residual cannot reach the lane body's OUTER fields, and `probeLane` SPAWNS
`probe.binary` with `--help` before dispatch (`review-lane-runner.cts`, the
`command-exists`/`command-capability` arms). An overlay naming an arbitrary probe binary
therefore executes it — unsigned and undisclosed, exactly as `invoke.env` was, and
reachable on the same #3062 path.

The lane element now carries a second residual over the outer fields, and the probe
binary is shown in the consent prompt when it differs from the dispatch binary — it is a
program that runs, and the user is entitled to see it.

TWO fields stay excluded, and that is a decision rather than an omission:
`reviewsSection` and `timeoutFloorMs` are ADR-2782's cosmetic carve-outs (matrix
A10/A13), where re-consenting would present a prompt carrying no security information.
A test pins that they remain excluded, so a later widening cannot quietly reverse D4.5
while claiming to complete this fix.

Also corrects a miscount introduced by the previous commit: the source comment said the
enumeration had fallen behind by "seven fields" and omitted `fallbackModel`, while
asserting `env` was the ninth. `resolveLanePlan` reads twelve `inv.*` fields and four
were bound, so the number is eight. The comment now states the derivation rather than
just the total.

Reversion-controlled: emptying the outer residual fails "repointing the probe binary must
force re-consent"; removing the render line fails its own named assertion.

Refs #2483.

* enhance(#2483): refuse execution-primitive env names as defence in depth

Adopts the review's B5 after this round's own adversarial pass refuted my reason for
declining it. I had argued a denylist was worthless because `PATH` can never be refused.
That was wrong on the facts: no shipped reviewer manifest declares `PATH`, so it can be
refused, and it is the most complete primitive in the set — repoint it at a directory
holding a fake binary and the declared `invoke.binary` is irrelevant. A list that cannot
be exhaustive can still close the highest-confidence, lowest-legitimacy routes.

So the validator now rejects `PATH`, `NODE_OPTIONS`, `LD_PRELOAD`, `DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES`,
`BASH_ENV`, `PYTHONPATH`, `PERL5OPT`, `RUBYOPT`, `GIT_SSH_COMMAND`, `JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS`
and their siblings on a reviewer lane. A lane needing a specific executable declares an
absolute `invoke.binary` instead of reshaping the child's environment.

The comment states plainly that this is defence in depth and NOT the boundary — the
boundary is install-time consent, which discloses every declared pair and binds it to the
signature, so an unlisted name is still SEEN before it runs. That framing is load-bearing:
a future reader who mistakes the denylist for the control will under-invest in the one
that is, which is the failure mode I was trying to avoid by declining it outright.

Two tests: the rejection itself across ten names, and a guard asserting no shipped
reviewer capability declares a denied key — so if the list ever outgrows its evidence,
that surfaces as a decision rather than a silent removal.

Refs #2483.

* enhance(#2483): fix two stale D5 enumerations elsewhere in the ADR

The previous commit rewrote the amendment's premise but swept only the amendment. Two
normative passages earlier in the same ADR still enumerated the old closed field list and
now contradicted it: the `executableSetChanged` trigger list, and the split-binding note
asserting the seven manifest-derived fields were "everything that is SHA-pinned".

That is the failure the rewrite-don't-annotate rule exists to prevent, one section over —
an ADR is read in fragments, and a fragment carries no supersession marker, so a reader
landing on either passage would have taken the superseded enumeration as current.

Both now name the residual as the mechanism rather than restating a list, which is also
what stops them going stale the next time the vocabulary widens.

Found by this round's adversarial review, which grepped the whole document rather than
the section under edit.

Refs #2483.

* enhance(#2483): stop the probe disclosure claiming a spawn that does not happen

The probe line added one commit ago rendered "probes by running: <binary> --help" for
every lane. That is false for `kind: "command-exists"`, which only calls `hasBinary` — a
PATH/filesystem scan that starts no process. Only `command-capability` spawns.

A false statement in a consent prompt is worse than a missing one: the prompt is the
surface a user is asked to trust, and this one overstated what a lane does. Worse, the
test I wrote to prove the fix used `command-exists` — the kind that does NOT spawn — so
it pinned the wrong claim and would have kept the error green forever.

The surface now carries `probeKind` and the two kinds render differently: a spawn is
described as a spawn, a presence check as a presence check. The test exercises both, and
asserts the `command-exists` path never emits the spawn wording.

Also corrects the field-count parenthetical to state its derivation unambiguously —
`resolveLanePlan` reads thirteen `inv.*` fields including `env` (twelve before this PR),
four were bound, so eight were unbound before `env` and nine including it. The bare
"twelve" was true only of the pre-PR tree and read as a claim about the current one.

And retires two comments that argued AGAINST the validator denylist this round then
shipped. Leaving them would have handed the next reader the reasoning for removing it.

Reversion-controlled: conflating the two probe kinds fails a named test.

Refs #2483.

* enhance(#2483): match the reviewer-lane env denylist case-insensitively

The denylist added one commit ago compared exact case, so `Path`, `path`, `node_options`
and `Node_Options` all passed it. Windows environment lookup is case-insensitive, so
those reach the child as `PATH` and `NODE_OPTIONS` — the exact inputs the list names.

An exactly-cased denylist is worse than none: it reads as a control while admitting the
input it was written to refuse, and the next reader has no reason to doubt it. Members
are stored uppercase and the key is folded before lookup; the name grammar already
constrains keys to ASCII, so a plain fold is sufficient.

Reversion-controlled: restoring the exact-case compare fails `envDenylistIsCaseInsensitive`
on `Path`.

Refs #2483.

* enhance(#2483): correct the docs that still described the denylist as absent

Both the ADR and the manifest reference still said `env` carries no denylist and that
`PATH` "can never be refused" — written when that was this round's position, and left
standing after the round reversed it. A reader landing on either passage would have taken
the superseded argument as current, which is precisely the failure the rewrite-don't-
annotate rule exists to prevent.

Both now describe the denylist, name `PATH`'s inclusion and the case-insensitive match,
and keep the limit explicit: the list cannot be complete against an arbitrary child and
disclosure runs before validation, so consent remains the boundary.

The ADR's byte-identical-signature claim is also corrected rather than softened. With the
outer residual in place, a lane producing no residual is one the validator rejects — it
declares no `flags`, `probe`, `emptyOutput`, `evidenceClass`, `requiresBinaries` or
`promptBudgetKey`. So the property is about the ENCODING, not a claim that any real
signature is unchanged, and it is not the argument for the change being safe. That
argument is that consent binds to the bundle contentHash and no existing consent is
invalidated at all.

Refs #2483.

* test(#2483): cover the three new lane disclosure fields in the injection-safety parity guard

The PARITY test in section N exists to catch a renderer field that skips
`renderValueForPrompt` (#3248). Its payload manifest is hand-maintained, so it
covers the fields that existed when it was written — slug, binary, args,
hostConfigKey, handler — and none of the fields this PR adds.

This PR renders three further manifest-supplied values into consent-prompt
lines: `invoke.env` (keys and values), `invoke.defaultHost` and `probe.binary`.
The gap was silent rather than theoretical: with the lane env line reverted to
the pre-#3248 raw form, the whole 948-test lane/capability/trust-disclosure
suite stayed green.

Two manifests, because the shapes render disjoint lines — `defaultHost` only on
the openai-http branch, `env`/`probe` only where declared, and the probe line
only when the probe binary differs from the dispatch binary.

Non-vacuity is asserted on the typed disclosure object and on structural line
counts, not by substring-matching rendered prose: CONTRIBUTING.md forbids raw
text matching on test output, and this section's own header promises structural
assertions only, so a prose match here would have made that promise false.

Negative-controlled three ways against the merged tree, each producing exactly
one named failure: env rendered raw, defaultHost rendered raw, probe binary
rendered raw.

* docs(#2483): extend the #3248 render-site comment to the fields this PR adds

The comment enumerates every manifest-supplied value that must pass through
`renderValueForPrompt`, and it stopped at `handler` — the reviewer-lane fields
that existed when #3248 landed. This PR renders three more (`defaultHost`, the
probe binary, and the env keys and values), so the list understated its own
contract in the one place a future author would check before adding a fourth.

A comment enumerating a closed set is a set that can silently fall behind the
code it describes; the parity test added alongside is what makes the omission
fail loudly rather than read as deliberate.

cf6de5e1c0 feat(#2871): resolve triggers and host precedence, not just placement (#3291)
* test(#2871): failing-first suite for trigger-surface resolution

23 tests over the 50-test-matrix rows. RED by construction:
resolveTriggerSurface and DEFAULT_TRIGGER_PRECEDENCE do not exist yet,
and the validator silently ignores triggerPrecedence today.

Written in the per-runtime describe idiom the other four
runtime-artifact-layout suites use, not a table.

The rows that carry the weight: windsurf must NOT report a shadow it
does not have, since its global scope emits only agents and agents are
not trigger-bearing; agents and kimi-agents must be absent from the
output for every runtime; and reordering a runtime's triggerPrecedence
must flip the winner, which is the only assertion that proves the axis
is read rather than decorative.

Stems are injected, never scanned, so the surface is assertable with no
filesystem.

* feat(#2871): resolve triggers and host precedence, not just placement

resolveTriggerSurface(runtime, scopes) returns every /gsd-<name> trigger
a runtime emits, with the scope and kind that produced it, whether the
host registers it directly or only through a router, and which artifact
shadows it. resolveRuntimeArtifactLayout is untouched -- its 7 callers
need placement only and the issue requires them unchanged.

AGENTS ARE NOT TRIGGER-BEARING, and ADR-2866 said they were. The
host-integration matrix models command and dispatch as separate interface
points: an agent is invoked through the Agent tool's subagent_type, not
by typing a slash trigger, and _copyStaged never applies the kind prefix
to an agents entry. So agents and kimi-agents are excluded from the
surface entirely, and this commit amends ADR-2866 with a dated
correction. #2218's conclusion is unchanged -- the collision is strictly
commands-vs-skills, and claude's local /gsd-* trigger surface is still
fully shadowed -- but the ADR implied the local agents surface was lost
too, and it is not.

That correction is what makes windsurf come out right. Its global scope
emits only agents, so it has no global trigger and its local commands
are unshadowed. Model agents as trigger-bearing and windsurf falsely
reports a full shadow.

The triggerPrecedence axis lands on all 19 descriptors as an ordered
kind list, one value with one owner, rather than a numeric rank spread
across N kind entries with nothing keeping them consistent. Validation
uses a required-with-default shape that has no precedent in this
validator -- every existing axis is hard-required -- so a third-party
capability.json omitting the field still validates, which is what
ADR-894's additive-only contract promises.

Winner resolution reads Phase 1's scope rank first, then the kind
ordering. A test reorders the axis and asserts the winner flips, since
an axis that is added, validated and never consulted would pass every
other assertion.

shadowedBy ships unread. Phase 4 (#2873) is its first consumer, per this
issue's out-of-scope note.

Verified via the remote runner.

* fix(#2871): single-source namespacedByDir and close two test gaps

Four findings from the isolated adversarial review.

The namespacedByDir rule had reached three copies -- install-engine,
surface, and the new trigger resolver -- one of which carried a
hand-written keep-in-sync comment and no assertion. That is this repo's
generative-fix-divergence class. Extracted to one exported predicate all
three now call. Verified by diverging one copy deliberately: the existing
#816 parity test failed, and passes again on revert.

The omission test was vacuous. Row 16 asserted that a descriptor without
triggerPrecedence still validates, but built its fixture from claude's
shipped descriptor -- which this PR had just added the axis to. It now
clones and deletes the key, following the shippedDescriptorWithout
pattern, and asserts both that validation passes and that the resolver
still picks the right winner from the default. The second half is what
makes it prove anything.

resolveTriggerSurface silently dropped an unrecognized scope while every
sibling in this epic throws. Two phases of one epic should not disagree
about whether an invalid scope is an error, so it now rejects through the
same shared validator; an empty scope list still returns empty rather
than throwing.

The ADR amendment had been spliced into the middle of the References
list, orphaning its last bullet. Moved to the top, after the header
block, which is where ADR-3660 and ADR-1016 both put dated amendments.
No lint checks markdown structure, so this was green while malformed.

* fix(#2871): single-source the command filename composition too

The earlier fix shared the namespacedByDir boolean but left the
filename composition around it written twice -- once in _copyStaged as
what actually gets written, once in resolveTriggerSurface as what gets
predicted. The predictor could go stale silently.

One exported helper now composes it for both. The entry.name asymmetry
that looked like it would block extraction does not: entry.name is
filtered to end in .md and stem is entry.name minus those three
characters, so the two branches are the same string by construction.

Divergence proven to fail: injecting a marker into the helper broke the
trigger-surface suite; reverting restored 25/25. The four sibling layout
suites hold at 227 unchanged.

* docs(#2871): correct the ADR timing notes that this phase makes stale

The Amended by back-links on ADR-3660 and ADR-1016 were written in
Phase 0, when the widenings they describe had not shipped. Each carried
a forward-looking clause -- "the module changes at Phase 2, not before,
until then this module resolves placement only" -- which becomes false
the moment this PR merges. ADR-2866's own Amends header and its
reciprocal-notes section carried the same tense.

All four now describe what shipped. This is a tense and status
correction on Accepted ADRs, not a change to any decision.

Worth stating because it is the failure mode this epic keeps meeting:
gen-adr-index.cjs tracks only Supersedes and Subsumes, so nothing in CI
would have caught either the missing back-link in Phase 0 or these stale
clauses now. They stay correct only because someone checks.

b901d1e06f feat(#1953): complexity-triggered refactor extension point (execute:post) (#3261)
* test(#1953): failing-first suite for the complexity-triggered refactor hook

60 behavioral cases against src/complexity-trigger.cts, which does not exist yet:
decision-point counting, the comment/literal stripping leak surface, threshold and
jump-delta boundaries at limit-1/limit/limit+1, stable-anchor baseline semantics,
and fs fault injection via mock.method. Two fast-check properties assert that
stripping never manufactures a decision point and that comments and string
literals are score-neutral.

Also registers the refactor-trigger capability manifest (inert until
refactor.trigger_enabled) and regenerates the capability registry and matrix.

Verified RED on the remote runner before any implementation exists.

* feat(#1953): complexity-triggered refactor extension point

Adds the opt-in refactor-trigger capability. After a phase executes, an
execute:post step measures per-function complexity for the files the phase
touched and writes a scoped refactor proposal when a function crosses the
configured threshold or drifts past its recorded anchor.

Design notes worth carrying:

- The signal is computed in-core (decision-point counting over comment- and
  literal-stripped source, Node builtins only) rather than via Memtrace or a
  shelled-out analyzer. The hook fires as a deterministic CLI, not an agent
  with MCP tools, and core takes no external dependencies — this is the only
  option a behavioral test can bind to. The metric sits behind a seam.
- The baseline is a stable anchor, not a rolling value: set on first
  observation, moved only on disposition. A rolling baseline makes the delta
  the single-phase change, so a function creeping +2 per phase never trips a
  delta of 5 and the jump check adds nothing over the absolute threshold.
- Strict mode records an open deviation window in the broken-windows ledger
  rather than declaring its own ship:pre gate. ship.md has no generic ship:pre
  gate dispatch — only two hardcoded branches — so a third gate of any kind
  would be declared and never evaluated.
- The gate clears on the proposal being dispositioned, never on the score
  improving. A blocking complexity number is one an executor can satisfy by
  splitting a coherent function in two.

execute-phase.md gains a generic execute:post step-dispatch contract; it
previously matched only ref.skill == "code-review", so any other step
registered there was declared and never run. The code-review branch is
unchanged.

Full rationale in ADR-1953.

Closes #1953

* fix(#1953): close git option injection and symlink escape in the refactor hook

Three findings from the isolated security review, all fixed inline.

HIGH — changedFilesSince interpolated the --since value into a revision
token placed before the -- separator. A -- only stops PATHSPEC parsing of
arguments after it; git still option-parses what comes before. So
--since '--output=/tmp/x' became --output=/tmp/x..HEAD, which git accepts
as --output=<file> and uses to redirect diff output — an arbitrary write.
Fixed with --end-of-options before the revision range plus a conservative
ref validator. The validator deliberately permits ~ ^ @ { } because those
are legitimate git REVISION syntax (HEAD~1, main@{yesterday}) as distinct
from ref-NAME syntax; --end-of-options is the actual barrier. The doc
comment asserting the trailing -- was sufficient was wrong and is corrected.

MEDIUM — resolveConfinedPath confined by string prefix only, so a symlink
committed inside the repo passed the check (its own path is under cwd) and
readFileSync then followed it outside the root. Now lstat-checks for a
regular file and skips anything else with REFACTOR_FILE_UNREADABLE, so one
bad path skips one file and the run continues.

LOW — the new execute:post dispatch contract showed the gsd_run example
before the rule requiring ref.command be validated first. That prose is
executed by an agent, so textual order is execution order. Reordered.

Refs #1953

* fix(#1953): make the analyzer able to see TypeScript at all

Found by running the shipped analyzer over its own source: it reported
functions=1 for a 940-line module with 24 function forms. A return-type
annotation or a generic parameter list made a function invisible —
`function f(a): number {}` and `function f<T>(a: T): T {}` both detected as
zero. Since gsd-core is written in .cts and the capability declares
.ts/.cts/.mts analyzable, the feature silently found nothing in this repo's
own primary language while reporting success. A safety net that reports
"all clear" because it cannot see is worse than no safety net.

All 98 tests passed over this, because every fixture was plain JS — the
exact failure the test matrix's own "assert against the shape production
uses" warning describes. Adds a TypeScript-shapes suite covering return
types (including unions, generics, object literals and type predicates),
generic parameter lists (constrained and defaulted), export/async/generator
combinations, annotated arrows, class-method modifiers, and optional/
default/rest params — plus the two traps: an overload signature has no body
and must not count, and `a < b && c > d` is a comparison, not a generic.
Detection now reports 24/37/21 functions for the three source files, which
matches a hand count exactly.

Also from review:

- The strict-mode ledger dedup identified entries by parsing a prose
  description string. That is banned by CONTRIBUTING's raw-text-matching
  rule and was a real bug: the "exactly one window per untriaged proposal"
  guarantee rested on prose matching, so rewording a description or editing
  WINDOWS.md by hand silently produced duplicates. Now matches structurally
  on kind + phase + file + line.
- A property test asserted on the stripper's output text. Reframed to
  assert the same invariant through analyzeSource's score.
- nextBaseline's `candidates` parameter has been dead since the anchor
  change; removed from the signature and all call sites.
- Extracted the duplicated require-or-degrade and capability-check
  boilerplate.
- ADR-1953's Implementation bullet still named a `refactor.ship-gate` in
  check-command-router.cts — a leftover from the design cut D6 rejects.
  That file is untouched and no such gate exists. Removed.

Refs #1953

* fix(#1953): keep execute-phase.md under its byte ceiling; un-vacuum the large-file test

Five of the seven remote-runner failures were one cause: the execute:post
dispatch contract, written out inline, grew execute-phase.md 1876 bytes
(93,400 -> 95,276) against a frozen PRE_PHASE6 ceiling of 93,600. A drift-ack
does not clear that — tests/phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs and
tests/fix-2285-claude-orchestration-wiring.test.cjs assert the file is
literally under the cap.

The contract now lives in gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md, which
already claimed to be the point-agnostic dispatch reference and already
documented ref.skill and ref.agent. It gains the ref.command shape, its
in-context validation rule, the advisory-by-construction statement, and a
note that a point whose workflow hand-rolls one kind is not implementing
this contract. execute-phase.md now defers to it in one line: 145 bytes of
growth, 55 B of headroom under the cap. Better placement than the first cut
— the reference was overstating its coverage, and this makes the claim true
rather than duplicating prose next to it.

Acknowledged by appending to tests/emitted-drift-acks/2930-*.json rather
than a new 1953-*.json: two ack sources may never name the same path, and
that fragment is already the accumulating ack for this file.

Sixth and seventh failures: analyzesLargeFileWithinBounds tripped its own
vacuity guard — the fixture generated ~480 KB against a `> 500000` assert,
so the guard fired and the three assertions after it never ran. The test
has been vacuous since it was written. The matrix row specifies ~1 MB, so
N goes 8000 -> 20000 (1.17 MB, 17% margin) and the guard to > 1_000_000.
Verified by reproducing the exact body against the compiled module: 1168888
bytes, 118 ms, all four assertions hold.

Refs #1953

* fix(#1953): fold the execute:post step deferral into the existing resolve line

The remaining two failures were one test: execute-phase.md carries a SECOND,
tighter assertion than the 93,600 ceiling — `<=93400`, which is exactly its
current size. The file cannot grow by a single byte. My previous fix got it
under 93,600 but not under 93,400, so it still failed. ("H." in the report is
just the parent describe of that same test, not a separate defect.)

Rather than add a paragraph, the deferral now REPLACES the existing hook
resolution line. It read:

  Resolve active step hooks from `EXECUTE_POST_HOOKS_JSON` where
  `kind == "step"` and `ref.skill == "code-review"`.

which is the bug itself written down — only code-review was ever dispatched.
It now reads:

  Dispatch each `kind == "step"` hook per
  @gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md. For `code-review`:

The following prose already begins "If no active code-review step hook
exists", so it reads correctly and the code-review handling is untouched.
Net effect on the file is -11 bytes: 93,400 -> 93,389, under the margin
assertion rather than merely under the ceiling.

That also removes the need for a drift-ack: the file shrank, so there is no
growth to acknowledge, and the append to the shared 2930-*.json fragment is
reverted. Leaving it would have shipped a claim of "145 bytes of growth"
that is no longer true, on a file six other issues share.

The test's own comment states the principle this ended up honoring: "the host
loop must stay small — optional-feature detail belongs in the capability
fragment, not the host workflow." Putting the dispatch contract in the
reference rather than inline is that rule, applied.

Refs #1953

* fix(#1953): keep the code-review hook literal the workflow test requires

tests/code-review.test.cjs extracts the <step name="code_review_gate"> block
and asserts it contains `ref.skill == "code-review"` verbatim. The previous
commit replaced the line carrying that literal, so the token vanished and the
test went red — a fair assertion: code-review IS the bespoke branch there and
the workflow should still name it.

Restored inside the same one-line deferral, which now reads:

  Dispatch `kind == "step"` hooks per @gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md.
  `ref.skill == "code-review"`:

93,396 bytes — still under the `<=93400` margin assertion and 4 bytes below
the base, so the file continues to shrink rather than grow.

Because three consecutive runs were each reddened by a different assertion on
this one file, this change was verified by sweeping ALL of them at once rather
than one run at a time: every test under tests/ that reads execute-phase.md or
references/loop-hook-dispatch.md was located by resolving its path constants,
and each content/size assertion was evaluated directly against the working
tree — 22 assertions, plus two real executions (gen-section-manifest --check,
and emitted-attribution's full real-tree differential). All pass.

That sweep also confirms the earlier judgement call: the net change to
execute-phase.md is a SHRINK, and the size ratchet only gates growth, so
reverting the append to the shared 2930-*.json ack fragment was correct — an
ack would have been both unnecessary and factually wrong.

* chore(#1953): backfill changeset pr number to 3261

* docs(#1953): add the missing how-to for acting on a refactor proposal

Reference and explanation shipped (COMMANDS.md, CONFIGURATION.md,
FEATURES.md 159, ADR-1953) but the Diataxis how-to quadrant did not, and
that is the one a user reaches for. CONTRIBUTING's required-docs table is
'new command -> COMMANDS.md + FEATURES.md', so CI was green on a gap.

Enabling this feature is genuinely multi-step and no single page walked it:
turn it on, tune the threshold, understand advisory vs strict, discover
that strict needs a SECOND toggle on a DIFFERENT capability, and know what
to do when a proposal appears. The two-toggle subtlety in particular was a
footnote in a config table; here it is a section with both commands.

Follows the shape of its closest siblings, resolve-edge-coverage-findings
and resolve-prohibition-findings — both 'the loop surfaced a finding, here
is what to do with it'. Includes a reason-code table for the silent cases,
since the analyzer is deliberately quiet in six situations and a user who
expected a proposal needs to tell 'nothing to report' from 'could not look'.

Indexed from docs/README.md beside the other loop how-tos.

Docs-only: exempt from the push gate, no re-verification, pass marker on
2af188b4 untouched.

Refs #1953

* feat(#1953): warn when strict mode is on but nothing will actually block

Closes acceptance criterion 5, which I had wrongly marked satisfied.

refactor.trigger_strict records an untriaged proposal as an open deviation
window, but a ship only STOPS if workflow.windows_enforce is also on — a
toggle owned by the broken-windows capability that this feature neither sets
nor requires. So a user could enable strict, believe ship was gated, and find
out otherwise at ship time.

The split itself stays: requires:["broken-windows"] would force-install the
ledger on advisory users who never enable strict, and a ship:pre gate of our
own would never fire because ship.md has no generic ship:pre gate dispatch.
What was missing was discoverability, so that is what this fixes.

`refactor evaluate` now emits a typed REFACTOR_STRICT_NOT_ENFORCING warning,
naming the exact remediation command, whenever strict is on and either
workflow.windows_enforce is off or broken-windows is unavailable. It fires
only on a run that produced a candidate — with nothing to block on there is
nothing to warn about, and warning every run would be noise.

Reads workflow.windows_enforce through the same resolveConfigKey walk the
router already uses for its own keys rather than a second config reader.
Four tests cover the matrix: strict+enforce-off warns, strict+enforce-on does
not, strict+ledger-absent warns, strict-off never warns.

Also corrects a user-facing message in this same file that told the user to
run `gsd-tools config-set` — the wrong form. docs/CONFIGURATION.md and the
broken-windows capability both use `gsd config-set`, and gsd-tools is invoked
as `node gsd-tools.cjs`, so the bare form may not resolve. The two adjacent
messages in this file now agree.

653f95e39f chore(#2801): remove the hostBehaviors.reviewerCli deprecated alias (#3272)
* test(#2801): failing-first suite for the hostBehaviors.reviewerCli alias removal

Inverts the Phase 5a rows that assert the derived legacy alias still
contributes a reviewer slug, and adds the removal-warning coverage the
alias's exit needs (ADR-2782 D9).

RED against unmodified production code, by design: the six shipped
manifests still declare the key and collectReviewerWarnings emits nothing
for hostBehaviors.

Refs #2801

* chore(#2801): remove the hostBehaviors.reviewerCli deprecated alias

ADR-2782 D9, Phase 7 — the final phase of epic #2782.

The derived legacy alias survived one release (Phase 5a shipped in 1.9.0;
1.9.1 and 1.10.0 have since gone out), so it goes. A declared reviewer
body is now the only route onto the reviewer roster.

- deriveReviewerSlugs no longer reads runtime.hostBehaviors.reviewerCli
- the key is stripped from the six manifests that carried it; each already
  declares a reviewer body whose slug equals its capability id, so the
  derived roster is unchanged at the same twelve slugs
- collectReviewerWarnings emits a presence-based, non-fatal removal notice
  for any manifest still declaring the key, reaching both the build-time
  registry generation and the third-party overlay load path. The check runs
  before the reviewer-body early-return, because the manifest it exists for
  is the alias-only one that has no body.
- hostBehaviors stays an open, unvalidated bag for its other 59 keys; this
  adds one keyed removal notice, not general validation

Refs #2801

* refactor(#2801): give the reviewer-warning channel a typed IR

Review finding: the new tests asserted with String#includes() on the
warning prose, which CONTRIBUTING.md's 'Prohibited: Raw Text Matching on
Test Outputs' bans in favor of a typed intermediate representation.

Adds the IR beside the renderer rather than replacing it, which is the
shape that section prescribes and bin/verify-reapply-patches.cjs already
models:

- REVIEWER_WARNING, a frozen code enum
- REMOVED_REVIEWER_CLI_FIELD, so the emitting site and its test share one
  symbol instead of duplicating a literal
- collectReviewerWarningRecords(cap), returning typed records

collectReviewerWarnings(cap) keeps its exact string[] contract as a thin
map over the records, so both production consumers are untouched. Every
section-K row now asserts on record.code/field/capId and none on the
rendered message. Locks the code surface, asserts the renderer stays
one-to-one with the records, and migrates the pre-existing Phase 2 test
on the same channel off prose matching.

Refs #2801

* test(#2801): invert the section F alias fall-through regression row

Caught by the remote runner: 2 unique failures on both Node lanes out of
31,692. tests/reviewer-lane-declarations.test.cjs section F — Phase 5a's
isolated-security-review regressions — asserted that a blank reviewer.slug
falls through to the hostBehaviors.reviewerCli alias rather than dropping
the lane. That is the direct inverse of this phase's contract.

The original rationale held only while the alias existed. With it gone
there is nothing to fall through to: a blank body is not a declaration,
and a declaration is the only route onto the roster.

Inverted rather than deleted — the row carries the adversarial-review
provenance for the slug trim, and removing a security regression guard to
make a change pass is backwards. The duplicate row added earlier in
section C is dropped instead; section F is its canonical home.

Also corrects two count strings Phase 5b left at eleven while asserting
twelve, which would misreport on failure.

Refs #2801

* docs(#2801): give the removed reviewerCli flag a migration path

The Reference edit alone satisfied CI — a file under docs/ moved, so
lint-docs-required.cjs was green — while the task-oriented quadrant said
nothing about the removal. A maintainer whose lane had just gone silent
would have found the field documented as removed and no page telling them
what to do about it.

Adds a migration section to the how-to: the symptom, the verbatim warning
they will see, the before/after manifest, and the note to keep the
reviewer slug equal to the capability id so existing
review.default_reviewers entries and --<slug> flags survive.

Refs #2801

* chore(#2801): backfill changeset pr number to 3272

* feat(#2801): close the runtime.hostBehaviors vocabulary

ADR-1016 closes twelve descriptor axes and rejects an open escape hatch
in the descriptor. It never mentioned runtime.hostBehaviors, and that
silence was read as permission: 59 keys across 18 manifests, 39 of them
set by a single capability, validated by nothing. The reference docs went
further and attributed the open seam to ADR-1016, which does not mention
the field at all.

KNOWN_HOST_BEHAVIORS enumerates the vocabulary. An undeclared key yields a
non-fatal UNKNOWN_HOST_BEHAVIOR record on the same D4.3 channel as the
alias removal notice, reaching both build-time generation and overlay
install.

Warning, never error, for the reason this phase exists: an error would
hard-break an out-of-tree descriptor carrying a bespoke key with no
deprecation window, which is what reviewerCli was given a release to
avoid. Escalation is a separate decision.

reviewerCli is excluded from the unknown-key sweep so it keeps its own
notice with the migration pointer rather than drawing two records.

A parity test binds the vocabulary to the shipped manifests in both
directions, and a second asserts no shipped capability draws a notice, so
the closure is provably inert in-tree.

Records the decision and the miscitation as an ADR-1016 amendment.

Refs #2801

* fix(#2801): bound and sanitize the unknown-key diagnostics

Two findings from an isolated adversarial review of the closure commit,
both proven by execution rather than asserted.

MAJOR, introduced by the closure: the new Object.keys(hostBehaviors) sweep
had no ceiling. An installed third-party manifest is bounded only by
MANIFEST_MAX_BYTES, and an 8.69MB manifest with 800,000 keys produced
800,000 records and ~139MB of message text, retained for the registry's
lifetime in OverlayMeta.diagnostics. Now capped at ten records plus a
summary carrying omittedCount, mirroring capability-loader's existing
slice(0,3) idiom. The same manifest now yields 11 records and 1748 chars.

MINOR, newly reachable: manifest-supplied key names were interpolated raw.
Unlike cap.id, which validateCapability gates on KEBAB_RE before these
diagnostics run, hostBehaviors keys have no grammar check anywhere, so
ANSI escapes and CRLF reached stderr and OverlayMeta.warnings intact. New
describeKey replaces C0/C1 controls and clips at 80 chars. The file
already had describeValue for this and applied it only to values.

Both fixes land on the pre-existing reviewer.* sweep too — it carried the
identical pair, and fixing only the new copy would leave the same defect
one screen from its own fix.

Migrates the final 170 unbounded sync spawn sites across 49 files, then
removes the allowlist entirely. local/no-unbounded-spawn now runs with no
exemption surface across tests/**: there is no file to add a name to.

drift-detection's throw-native git() helper routes to gitOrThrow -- bare
runGit would have taken 16 call sites quiet on failure. commands.test.cjs
has two independently-scoped runGsdTools/runCli helpers, one already bounded
and one not; they are kept distinct rather than unified, the same trap as the
two same-named git() helpers in Wave 1.

runNpm's bound was erasable. Its options spread callerOptions after the
defaults, so an explicit timeout:undefined silently dropped the 180000ms
bound -- the rule flagged it and was right; it was not a false positive. Fixed
by destructuring with a default, with a test that fails when the default is
removed.

Two sites stay on a raw spawn with an explicit timeout because the seam
cannot express them: one needs shell:true for npm.cmd on Windows, one
redirects stdout to a real fd. Both are the rule's own documented second
option, not an escape from it.

Closure verified rather than asserted: the derivation scan reports 0 unbounded
spawn helpers and 0 unbounded direct git call sites, and a temporary file
carrying an unbounded spawn still errors with the allowlist gone.

Closes #3064.

* test(#3148): close a hole in the guard's own eslint-disable ban

The ban listed only the top level of tests/, so it was blind to 37 .cjs
files under tests/helpers, qa, observability, fixtures and dispatch. With the
allowlist deleted this test is the sole remaining way to detect someone
silencing the rule inline, so the gap was load-bearing: a nested file could
carry an unbounded spawn plus an eslint-disable and pass everything.

Proven before and after. A probe planted under tests/helpers with both was
invisible to the guard and clean under eslint; after making the listing
recursive the guard fails on it. The scanned set goes from 771 files to 808.

Pre-existing since the guard shipped, but this wave is what promoted it to
sole defense, so it is fixed here rather than filed.

Also converts the last hand-rolled throw check to throwIfFailed and the last
re-derived legacy shape to compose toLegacyResult, which makes the epic's
none-remain claim true rather than nearly true. toLegacyResult itself is not
widened -- eight callers depend on its shape and one consumer does not
justify changing a shared contract.

* fix(#3148): correct seam incoherence at the bound and a slow review-lane error path

Two real failures from the remote runner, both fixed at the cause.

The seam could return outcome TIMED_OUT together with exitCode 0. At the
exact bound spawnSync reports ETIMEDOUT while the child has already exited
with a real status, and toSeamResult classified on the error code while
passing status straight through -- an incoherent pair its own boundary test
was written to catch, and did. A status that is not null is direct evidence
the child exited on its own, so it now decides the outcome before the
error-code branches run. process-seam.cjs was deliberately untouched by every
earlier wave; this is a defect in the module itself, kept surgical, with a
unit test that fails against the old logic.

review-lane with an unknown subcommand fell through to its usage error only
after loading the capability registry and building a per-lane plan, which
spawns one child process per lane -- up to twelve. The error path took
~1288ms instead of ~119ms, and under bench load it outran a caller's spawn
timeout and was killed before writing anything, which is the empty stdout and
stderr CI saw. It now fails fast before any of that work begins.

This is the epic's first production change. It is user-facing, so it carries
a changeset rather than a no-changelog label.

* test(#3148): replace a real-race timeout test with a deterministic one

E9 raced git rev-parse against a 1ms bound and assumed git always lost. On a
warm container git finishes first, spawnSync returns status 0 with no error
at all, the seam correctly classifies EXITED, and gitOrThrow correctly does
not throw -- so the test failed on both lanes. A probe confirms a genuine
timeout always carries status null, so this was never the seam misbehaving.

Raising the bound would only lengthen the odds, which is the same defect with
better luck. The test now drives gitOrThrow against a stubbed runGit that
returns a synthetic TIMED_OUT result, so it asserts exactly what it always
meant to -- that a timeout propagates as a throw -- with no timing
dependence. Five consecutive runs are identical where the old one varied.

I wrote this test in Wave 0; it is a real-race test by construction and
CLAUDE.md says to replace those rather than re-run them.

3f349e551d fix(#3024): route sync-skills through the shipped gsd-tools instead of an unshipped install.js (#3195)
* fix(#3024): sync-skills workflow uses gsd-tools query skills-root instead of unshipped install.js

The sync-skills workflow Step 2 shelled out to gsd-core/bin/install.js --skills-root,
but install.js is not shipped in installed trees (only in the npm tarball root bin/).
Every /gsd-update --sync invocation failed with MODULE_NOT_FOUND.

Fix: added 'gsd-tools query skills-root <runtime>' subcommand (gsd-tools IS shipped)
that calls the same getGlobalSkillsBase function install.js used. Updated the
workflow to call gsd_run query skills-root instead of the dead install.js path.

Also documented the #3025 verbatim-cp limitation in Step 5 with a workaround.

* test(#3024): failing-first guards for the three defects in the adopted fix

The cherry-picked commit came from an aborted run that never executed its own
tests. Its raw-path assertion fails as written, which is the clearest evidence
the work never reached verification.

Covers:
- --raw must emit a bare path, not JSON (output() takes a third rawValue arg
  that routeSkillsRoot omits, so the raw branch never fires)
- an unknown, empty, whitespace, traversing, or metacharacter-bearing runtime
  must be rejected, not silently resolved to claude's skills root
- sync-skills.md must contain zero references to the unshipped install.js,
  including the guard's remediation text — the issue's second reported defect
- parity across every runtime in the registry, not three hardcoded ones, so the
  two entry points cannot drift

Also converts the adopted tests off a hand-rolled spawnSync onto the bounded
process seam, per CONTRIBUTING.

Fails before the fix. Verified via the remote runner.

* fix(#3024): make the skills-root query actually work and reach non-Claude runtimes

The cherry-picked commit never ran its own tests. Six defects, all fixed here.

--raw was ignored: output() is output(result, raw, rawValue) and the third
argument was omitted, so the raw branch never fired and the workflow captured a
JSON blob as SRC_SKILLS_ROOT. Every downstream cp -r then resolved against a
nonexistent path — the command would have shipped still broken.

An unknown runtime silently resolved to claude's skills root, because
getGlobalSkillsBase falls back rather than returning null, leaving the existing
=== null guard dead. The runtime id is now validated at the CLI boundary against
the shipped registry, so a typo'd --from/--to fails instead of reading from or
writing into the wrong runtime's tree.

getGlobalSkillsBase('vscode') threw a raw TypeError. vscode is non-installable
by descriptor, so it has no skills root — null is the answer, not a crash. The
resolver now short-circuits configHome.kind 'none', which also fixes the same
latent crash in install.js --skills-root vscode. Every caller already gates on
=== null.

sync-skills.md used gsd_run WITHOUT the canonical launcher preamble, so gsd_run
was undefined on non-Claude runtimes — the fix would have been dead in exactly
the place the original bug bit. Preamble propagated via sync-runtime-launcher.

Also registers skills-root in TOP_LEVEL_USAGE (the help/dispatch parity guard
caught it), removes the last two install.js references including the guard's
remediation text (the issue's second reported defect), and updates the stale
assertion that still described the removed contract.

Verified on the remote runner.

* fix(#3024): align the documented runtime list with the registry and gate both entry points

Isolated review returned BLOCK on two findings.

The workflow's Supported-runtimes list and its --to all expansion named grok and
gemini, neither of which is a registered runtime. Once this branch added
validation, --to all — a documented first-class feature — aborted. The list was
hand-copied prose shadowing the registry, so correcting it alone would drift
again; a parity assertion now fails in BOTH directions if the doc and the
registry disagree. vscode is excluded by name: it is installSurface 'none', so
syncing skills to it is meaningless and would abort.

bin/install.js --skills-root reached getGlobalSkillsBase with no own-property
gate, so --skills-root __proto__ silently resolved to claude's skills root. This
branch had just hardened the OTHER entry point to the same function; leaving one
of two parallel surfaces open is the same divergence class as the first finding.
Both now call one shared isRegisteredRuntimeId() rather than a copied check, and
the parity test covers the hostile ids so the two can never disagree again.

Also guards the workflow's root resolution: neither command substitution checked
its exit status and only the source had an existence guard, so a failed
destination resolution left DEST_ROOT empty and turned rm -rf "$DEST_ROOT/$SKILL"
into an absolute path at filesystem root. Both resolutions are now checked, and
Step 5 requires both roots to be non-empty and absolute before any destructive
command.

Verified on the remote runner.

* test(#3024): anchor the runtime-list parity extractor to the list span

The extractor captured (.+) to end of line, so it swallowed the em-dash prose
that explains the vscode exclusion — and that sentence contains backticked
`runtimes` and `null`, which is where the three phantom ids came from. The
documented list was correct; the test was reading its own explanation back as
data. Anchored to the id-list span.

Both directions still fail as intended: proven by injecting a bogus id and by
removing a registered one.

* test(#3024): anchor the --to all extractor and fail loudly on empty captures

The workflow has three TO_RUNTIMES= assignments and the regex matched the first
one — an empty array initializer at line 28 — so the extractor captured nothing
and the assertion diffed [] against 18 ids as if that were data.

That is the same failure twice, so the fix is the general one: every extractor
in this test now asserts it captured a plausible list before comparing, naming
which extractor found nothing and what it was looking for. An extractor that
silently yields [] is a confident wrong answer, and a parity guard that reports
it as a data mismatch teaches the reader to loosen the assertion.

Verified against the real workflow and against doctored copies with each target
construct removed, plus both teeth directions.

* fix(#3024): merge duplicate process-seam import after rebase

The rebase applied cleanly but left runNode declared twice: next had gained its
own import of the seam while this branch added one carrying OUTCOME. A clean
rebase is not a correct one — the file no longer parsed. Merged into a single
import providing both.

* fix(#3024): bind DEST_ROOT per destination instead of a dangling map

Step 2 stored each destination's root into DEST_SKILLS_ROOTS, which nothing ever
read, while Steps 3 and 5 used a scalar DEST_ROOT that nothing ever assigned. The
array was also never declare -A'd, so on bash 3.2 — macOS system bash, which this
repo supports — every destination collapsed onto index 0.

The absolute-path guard added earlier was the only thing standing between that and
rm -rf "/$SKILL"; it turned a silent disaster into a hard stop, but the feature
still could not complete. Each destination now binds its own DEST_ROOT where it is
used, and the unread map is gone rather than replaced.

Step 2 keeps eager validation, so a bad runtime id in a multi-destination --to
aborts before any destination is written rather than after some already have been.

Verified on bash 3.2 with a two-destination run binding distinct roots, and with a
bad id aborting before any destructive call.

* fix(#3024): restore grok support broken by the registry gate

The registry gate added earlier rejected grok, and that was my error. I confirmed
grok was absent from the capability registry and concluded the hardcoded branch
was dead — without checking what it resolved to. It resolves to ~/.agents/skills,
a real grok-specific path, exactly as the pre-fix workflow documented ('grok uses
the ~/.agents layout'), and there is a support discussion doc for it. So a
working, documented runtime silently lost --skills-root and sync-skills support
as a side effect of prototype-pollution hardening — and the parity test I added
locked that in as correct.

gemini is the one that really was dead: it fell through to CLAUDE's skills root,
so rejecting it is right and it stays rejected, as do bogus ids, __proto__,
empty, whitespace and traversal.

The validator's real question is 'does this id have a genuine runtime-specific
resolution', not 'is it in the registry map'. Registry membership was a proxy
that happened to miss grok. Legacy non-registry runtimes with dedicated
resolution branches are now a named, documented set; enumerating every hardcoded
branch in getGlobalConfigDir against the registry confirms grok is the only one.

The new tests assert grok resolves UNDER .agents and specifically not to claude's
root. Allow-listing an id proves nothing about whether it resolves correctly —
that assertion is what would have caught my mistake.

Also uses the shared PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS instead of a duplicate literal, and guards
Step 3's DEST_ROOT re-resolution, which contradicted the file's own stated
guarantee.

Verified on the remote runner.

* test(#3024): guard against LEGACY_NON_REGISTRY_RUNTIME_IDS drifting

The named legacy set is a second hand-maintained proxy for the same predicate
the registry check got wrong — 'does this id resolve runtime-specifically'.
Nothing stopped a third hardcoded branch being added to getGlobalConfigDir
without updating the Set, reproducing the exact class of bug that broke grok.

Production stays explicit and greppable; the test derives the truth instead. It
resolves a sentinel id to learn the generic fallback, classifies every candidate
against it, and fails in both directions — an id resolving runtime-specifically
that is in neither the registry nor the Set, or a Set entry that no longer earns
its exemption. The failure message names the remedy.

Confirms grok resolves runtime-specifically and gemini does not, which is the
distinction the original registry check could not see.

Also reverts the shared-timeout swap: SKILLS_ROOT_PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS is
pre-existing on next and arrived by rebase, so changing it here was scope creep
into another issue's territory.

Verified on the remote runner.

27aa40f65e fix(#3023): stage pi's shared hook bundle outside pi's reserved hooks/ directory (#3175)
* test(#3023): failing-first guard — pi must not stage hooks in its reserved dir

pi reserves <configDir>/hooks as its deprecated extension location and warns
on every startup when it exists. Assert a pi install stages the shared hook
bundle under gsd-hooks/ instead, manifests it there, and never creates hooks/.

Also adds pi to the local-scope dir table in install-shared.cjs: pi was in
RUNTIME_META but not LOCAL_DIR_NAME, so scope:'local' resolved
path.join(root, undefined) and no local pi install could be exercised.

Fails before the fix. Verified via the remote runner.

* fix(#3023): stage pi's shared hook bundle outside pi's reserved hooks/ dir

pi reserves <configDir>/hooks as its now-deprecated extension location and
warns on every startup when that directory merely exists — checkDeprecatedExtensionDirs()
guards the warning with a bare existsSync(), unlike its tools/ sibling. GSD staged
its shared hook bundle exactly there, and pi's advised remediation (move it to
extensions/) would break the adapter's paths and expose GSD's .js helpers to pi's
extension auto-discovery.

The bundle directory name is now runtime-descriptor-driven: hostBehaviors
.sharedHooksDirName, defaulting to 'hooks' so all 18 other runtimes are
byte-identical. pi sets 'gsd-hooks'. The name is validated as a single path
segment — separators, dot-only segments, trailing dots, absolute paths, NUL,
and Windows reserved device names all fall back to the default, because the
value is joined onto a user's config root and written to.

Renamed in place rather than relocated: hook scripts resolve siblings via
__dirname/.., so a depth change would silently break them.

- install / uninstall / manifest sites all read the resolved name
- pi/gsd.cjs probes gsd-hooks then hooks, so dev checkouts and half-upgraded
  trees still resolve; the never-throws contract is preserved
- new migration 009 retires the legacy pi hooks/ dir on upgrade, using a new
  non-recursive remove-empty-dir engine primitive (rmdirSync only,
  symlink-refusing, containment-guarded); ADR-0008 amended accordingly
- fixes two latent name-dependencies the rename exposed: the stale-hook scan
  and the injection scanner's self-exclusion both hardcoded 'hooks'

Verified on the remote runner.

Closes #3023

* fix(#3023): close review findings and align emitted provenance with the rename

Adversarial review found two defects, and the remote runner found four
failure clusters. All fixed here.

Review BLOCKER — detect-custom-files was blind to the renamed bundle.
GSD_PREFIX_MANAGED_DIRS in gsd-tools.cjs hardcoded 'hooks', so for pi the
whole gsd-hooks/ tree was invisible to the custom-file scan and user-added
files there were never backed up before the next update's clean-install wipe.
The dir set now resolves via the .gsd-runtime marker plus the shipped
capability registry (never bin/install.js, which is not shipped into installed
trees), and falls back to scanning every known candidate when the runtime
cannot be determined — over-scanning is safe, under-scanning is the data loss.

Review MAJOR — the pi adapter bound to an empty bundle. resolveSharedHooksDir
accepted any directory, so an interrupted install left gsd-hooks/ winning over
a fully-staged legacy hooks/ and every hook silently no-opped. A candidate now
qualifies only if it is non-empty.

Remote-runner clusters:
- emitted-provenance had no rule for the gsd-hooks/ family; added two pi-scoped
  rules pointing at the same sources the existing hooks/ rules use. The table is
  total, so an unattributed family is a hard failure by design.
- pi tests in install-minimal-hooks and the install integration suite asserted
  the old layout; updated to derive the dir name from the descriptor rather than
  hardcoding either name.
- 19 unrelated-looking failures on node22 only were a leaked fs mock: t.after()
  runs in registration order, cleanup was registered before mock.restoreAll(),
  and node22's JS rimraf calls the public fs.rmdirSync while node24's native
  path does not — so the EACCES stub leaked process-wide on one lane. Restore
  now runs first.

Verified on the remote runner.

* fix(#3023): honor PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR, ack the rename ripple, fix expandTilde

pi resolves its agent dir as PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR ?? ~/<CONFIG_DIR_NAME>/agent
(packages/coding-agent/src/config.ts). GSD's pi descriptor declared an empty
configHome.env, so a user with that variable set had GSD installed where pi
never looks. Added the env name; the dot-home-nested resolver already handled
the override, so no resolver logic changed.

Also fixes expandTilde in the shared runtime-homes resolver, found while adding
that: it hardcoded os.homedir() and ignored the opts.home every caller threads,
so EVERY runtime's tilde-valued env override (claude, antigravity, windsurf, pi)
silently resolved against the real home. That is a correctness bug and a
test-escape hazard — a sandboxed test asserting on a tilde override reached the
developer's actual home directory. Now threaded through every branch; behavior
with no injected home is unchanged.

Adds the emitted-drift ack fragment for the 58 pi paths whose emitted location
moved with the rename. The provenance rules satisfy the totality gate; the
differential gate needs the ack because the hook sources are byte-unchanged —
only the installer's target directory moved. The two hook files this branch
genuinely edits stay attributed and are not double-acked.

Note on piConfig.configDir: it is read from pi's OWN installed package.json
(getPackageDir walks up from pi's __dirname), alongside piConfig.name — a
white-label setting for a redistributed pi fork, not a per-project user setting.
Documented accordingly rather than treated as an unsupported override.

Verified on the remote runner.

* fix(#3023): reject blank env overrides, pin adapter/descriptor parity

Three review findings, all fixed.

A whitespace-only config-dir override was accepted verbatim: the guard was
`if (val)`, falsy only for the empty string, so PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR='   '
resolved to a literal three-space directory name instead of falling back to the
descriptor default. Fixed across every env-consuming branch — dot-home,
dot-home-nested, all three xdg steps, and generic-agents-root — not just pi's.
Non-blank values are still never trimmed, so '~/My Agent Dir' keeps working.

pi/gsd.cjs's probe list and the descriptor were two independent sources of truth
for the bundle directory name; a future rename would have desynced them silently
and left every pi hook quiet with no error. The probe list stays deliberate — it
must resolve in a dev checkout and a half-upgraded tree, where the registry's
answer would be wrong — so this adds the parity assertion the repo's
generative-fix-divergence rule calls for: the descriptor value must be the FIRST
candidate, and the default must remain present.

Changeset body rewritten to cover the two later user-facing fixes it had not
caught up with.

Verified on the remote runner.

* chore(#3023): backfill changeset PR number

* fix(#3023): anchor injection-scan patterns and fix a macOS detection hole

CI's security job flagged CONTEXT.md:124 — pre-existing prose reading 'not the
same fact as a genuinely empty or absent one'. The match was the 'act as a'
INSIDE 'f-act as a': the pattern had no left word boundary, so any word ending
in act tripped it (fact, impact, contract, artifact, interact, redact,
abstract). My four-line CONTEXT.md edit dragged the latent false positive into
this PR because the scan is diff-scoped by file but reads whole files. Anchored
with (^|[^[:alnum:]]) rather than rewording maintainer-owned prose, which would
have left the class alive for the next PR touching any file saying 'fact as a'.

Auditing the rest of the list for the same class surfaced a real detection hole:
the eval/exec/Function patterns matched a quote via \x27, a GNU-grep-only hex
escape. BSD/macOS grep reads it as four literal characters, so single-quoted
eval('...')/exec('...') payloads were NEVER detected there while passing on
GNU-grep CI. Replaced with a literal apostrophe class.

Boundaries were added only where a real word-suffix collision exists; exec,
jailbreak, developer mode and the role-manipulation family were audited and
deliberately left unanchored. 22 new cases cover both directions — the false
positives now scan clean, and every real payload still fires, including the
quote/punctuation/start-of-line boundary forms.

Also builds this branch's injection test fixture at runtime instead of carrying
the literal phrase, so the payload keeps its teeth without tripping the scan.

* fix(#3086): apply #2667 .cmd-shim gate to deps.spawn + surface errorCode in review lanes

deps.spawn used shell:false with a bare binary name — on Windows, npm-installed
CLIs (gemini, codex, etc.) are .cmd shims that CreateProcess cannot start,
producing ENOENT + empty stderr. The review path then wrote an empty err file
and emitted a generic 'failed or returned empty output' stub.

Two fixes:
1. deps.spawn: detect .cmd/.bat on win32 and mediate through cmd.exe /d /s /c
   (same gate as runWithTimeout #2667, same explicit argv array).
2. runSpawnLane: surface errorCode (ENOENT, ETIMEDOUT) in the err file so the

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.

c547e73a71 fix(#2927): merge installed overlay reviewer lanes into review-lane invocation (#3062)
* test(#2927): prove overlay reviewer lanes are invisible to review-lane

Failing-first regression for #2927. routeReviewLane builds its lane map from
the static REVIEWER_LANES array only, so an installed overlay reviewer lane
(role:"reviewer" capability) is roster-visible and disclosed at install but
never selectable, plannable, or invocable. The test exercises a pure
mergeReviewerLanes(firstParty, registry) helper that does not exist yet, so
every row fails at the require().

* fix(#2927): merge installed overlay reviewer lanes into review-lane invocation

routeReviewLane built its lane map exclusively from the frozen first-party
REVIEWER_LANES array, so an installed, consented third-party reviewer lane
(role:"reviewer" capability) was roster-visible and disclosed at install but
never selectable, plannable, or invocable — sections/flags/plan/invoke all
shared the one static map.

Add a pure, total mergeReviewerLanes(firstParty, registry) helper
(src/review-lane-descriptor.cts) implementing ADR-2782 D8: first-party ∪
installed overlay reviewer bodies, first-party winning on slug collision. The
overlay body is field-identical to ReviewerLane per ADR-2782 D1 ("no
translation layer"), so the helper MERGES rather than PROJECTS. Malformed
overlays (missing/non-object body, empty or grammar-invalid slug) are skipped,
never thrown — one bad third-party manifest cannot take the first-party lanes
down. routeReviewLane consults loadRegistry({includeInstalled:true}) and
degrades to the static set on any load failure.

* test(#2927): add CLI-seam coverage for the wiring defect + normalize slug

Two findings from the isolated adversarial review:

1. The test matrix's rows 9-10 (acceptance criteria #1-#3: overlay appears
   in sections/flags and plan resolves ok) were documented as covered but
   had no backing tests. The eight pure-helper tests would stay green if the
   one-line routeReviewLane wiring were reverted — the actual defect this PR
   closes had no regression guard. Add real end-to-end CLI tests that install
   a global-scope role:"reviewer" overlay and assert review-lane
   sections/flags/plan see it through loadRegistry -> mergeReviewerLanes.

2. mergeReviewerLanes trimmed the slug for the map key but stored the body
   with its untrimmed slug, diverging from deriveReviewerSlugs (which trims
   before adding to the roster). Normalize the stored lane's slug to the
   trimmed value so the two surfaces agree on the canonical key.

* test(#2927): correct CLI-seam fixtures for reviewer manifest shape

Two corrections from local CLI smoke-testing before the verification run:

1. role:"reviewer" manifests must omit feature-only fields (skills/agents/
   steps/contributions/gates/hooks/runtimeCompat) — the validator rejects them.
   Match the shipped capabilities/lm-studio shape.

2. The plan subcommand renders an ARRAY of {slug,ok,section,transport,...}
   (it strips the nested invocation plan object), so assert on the array
   element, not a top-level object. Also drop the malformed-flag-filter
   assertion: the capability validator enforces flag grammar at install time,
   so a lane with a malformed flag cannot be installed and never reaches the
   flags shape filter (which is defense-in-depth, not independently reachable).

* fix(#2927): drop unnecessary type assertion flagged by lint:ci

The `body as object` cast inside the spread is redundant — body is already
narrowed to object by the preceding typeof check. eslint no-unnecessary-type-
assertion flagged it; lint:ci is a merge gate.

* chore(#2927): add changeset fragment

pr:0 placeholder backfilled with the real PR number once the PR exists.

* fix(#2927): access runGsdTools result via .output in CLI-seam tests

runGsdTools returns {success, output, exitCode, error}, not a string. The CLI
tests (rows 9-10) passed the result object directly to JSON.parse/.split, which
string-coerced to "[object Object]" and threw under gsd-test (3 failures). My
local smoke test ran the CLI directly (string stdout), so it missed this — the
helper wraps execFileSync and returns a result object. Access .output and assert
.success explicitly, matching the established capability-cli.test.cjs convention.

067a4d1c6c fix(#2650): bound and auto-recover plan-phase planner/plan-checker stalls (#3015)
* test(#2650): add failing-first regression for plan-phase stall detection

Regression test for gsd_stall_should_recover / gsd_stall_watch and the
planner.stall_* config keys, none of which exist yet — proves RED before
the fix lands in the next commit.

* fix(#2650): bound and auto-recover plan-phase planner/plan-checker stalls

Mirrors the already-shipped executor.stall_* pattern (execute-phase.md, bug
#3212) but with a dispatch change the executor's prose-only surveillance
lacks: the standard planner spawn, chunked-outline planner spawn,
chunked-per-plan planner spawn, plan-checker spawn, and revision-loop
planner respawn now dispatch with run_in_background=true and are followed
by a real, bounded bash poll (gsd_stall_watch) that returns control to the
orchestrator on its own schedule instead of waiting indefinitely on a
subagent that may never return. On stall, the existing accept-plans/retry/
stop recovery menu (9a/11a) is auto-surfaced instead of requiring a manual
interrupt.

New config keys planner.stall_detect_interval_minutes (default 5) /
planner.stall_threshold_minutes (default 10) mirror executor.stall_*.

The helper functions (gsd_stall_should_recover, gsd_stall_watch) live in a
new lazily-loaded gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/stall-detection-
helpers.md rather than inline, and per-site prose is kept minimal, because
plan-phase.md is frozen under the ADR-857 Phase 6 PRE_PHASE6 gate
(tests/phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs) with ~36 bytes of headroom at
baseline; the net effect is plan-phase.md.md ships slightly SMALLER than
before (the old unconditional-wait ORCHESTRATOR RULE sentences are gone at
the five touched sites, superseded by the bounded watcher).

Also fixes a stale doc comment in tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs that
still described the per-file workflow-size-baseline.json guard removed by
#2724 (ADR-2719 Phase 4) as if it were still the enforcement mechanism —
discovered while verifying this fix's own byte budget.

Researcher and pattern-mapper spawns are untouched (out of scope per the
issue's Agent Brief).

* fix(#2650): make gsd_stall_watch single-cycle; harden numeric config inputs

Two review findings addressed on top of the prior commit:

1. gsd_stall_watch previously looped internally for the full
   threshold+interval duration inside ONE Bash tool call (up to 15 min at
   defaults) — a single call blocking that long risks the host tool's own
   timeout killing it before it ever prints a result, silently defeating the
   fix. Redesigned to a single sleep-and-check cycle per call, taking an
   explicit dispatch_ts so the orchestrator prose can repeat the (short,
   default 5 min) call until it resolves; the outer threshold is now
   enforced by dispatch_ts accumulating across calls, not by one call's
   duration. Documented the resulting trade-off (up to one interval of
   added latency on the success path) in the changeset and reference doc.

2. PLANNER_STALL_INTERVAL_MINUTES/THRESHOLD_MINUTES are config-controlled
   values that flow into bash arithmetic ($(( ))). A review flagged this as
   command injection; empirically verified against both macOS bash 3.2.57
   and Docker bash:5 that this is NOT actually exploitable (bash hard-errors
   on a `$(cmd)`-shaped arithmetic operand rather than invoking it) — but an
   unvalidated malformed value WOULD abort the stall-watcher itself with
   that bash error, silently defeating the exact hang-recovery this issue
   ships. Added integer validation with safe-default fallback, both at the
   config-resolution point and defensively inside gsd_stall_should_recover.

Also adds the previously-missing integration coverage for gsd_stall_watch's
real execution (grep/find/date plumbing), not just the pure classifier.

* fix(#2650): correct AC2 self-test — helpers doc may name teams-status in prose

The AC2 regression test asserted the stall-detection-helpers.md step file
never contains the substring "teams-status" at all, but the file's own
prose explicitly documents its independence from that guard (containing
the word by design). Narrowed the assertion to what actually matters: no
second `query teams-status` call site and no gating on it, not a blanket
absence of the word.

* test(#2650): regenerate golden install-tree fixtures for the new step file

gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/stall-detection-helpers.md is an
emitted file (installed for every runtime), so adding it changes the
install tree even though it is invisible to docs/INVENTORY.md and
docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json (both explicitly scope to non-recursive
gsd-core/workflows/*.md — verified against the execute-phase #2930 and
pre-existing plan-phase step-file precedent, which are equally absent from
both inventory artifacts). The golden install tree snapshots the sorted
list of emitted relative paths per runtime, so a file invisible to the
inventory is still visible here. Regenerated via `npm run gen:install-tree`
— one line added per runtime fixture (19 files), no other drift.

* fix(#2650): restore 7 ORCHESTRATOR RULE labels; sync runtime-launcher preamble

Two more consequences of extracting helper bodies out of plan-phase.md,
both caught by verification (0017e1a78, 9 unique failures):

1. tests/plan-phase-drift-guard.test.cjs (#913) requires at least 7
   "ORCHESTRATOR RULE — ALL RUNTIMES" labels in plan-phase.md itself, one
   per agent spawn site. Moving the full explanatory blocks to
   plan-phase/steps/stall-detection-helpers.md carried 5 of the 7 labels
   out with them (only the untouched researcher/pattern-mapper sites kept
   theirs). Restored a short label at each of the 5 stall-watch sites,
   trimmed a few more redundant words ("Per 7.99, " — already established
   by the adjacent step-7.99 pointer) to stay under the frozen
   PRE_PHASE6 cap (94497 bytes, 21 bytes headroom).

2. tests/runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs (#373) requires exactly one
   canonical gsd_run preamble, byte-equal to
   gsd-core/workflows/_runtime-launcher.snippet.sh, before the first
   gsd_run call in any workflow .md that calls it (recursive scan under
   gsd-core/workflows/, unlike the non-recursive inventory/step-tag-balance
   checks). The new step file's config-get calls use gsd_run without one.
   Fixed via `node scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs`, verified: exactly 1
   preamble occurrence, before the first call, including the .claude/ and
   .codex/ home fallback arms.

Also verified (no fix needed, evidence recorded): the generic
`gsd-core-verbatim` identity rule in tests/helpers/emitted-provenance.cjs
(roots: ['gsd-core'], pattern matching workflows/.+) self-attributes any
new gsd-core/workflows/** path to itself, so the new step file needs no
drift-ack entry — consistent with plan-phase.md's own net shrinkage
requiring none either.

* test(#2650): acknowledge plan-phase.md's +14 byte drift

Restoring the 5 ORCHESTRATOR RULE — ALL RUNTIMES labels (#913) flipped
plan-phase.md from -142 bytes (post-extraction) to +14 bytes net growth
against baseline (94483 -> 94497), which the differential attribution
size ratchet (tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs) correctly flags as
unacknowledged growth. Added tests/emitted-drift-acks/2650-plan-phase-
stall-detection.json, keyed on the bare filename plan-phase.md per the
existing fragment schema (see tests/emitted-drift-acks/2649-diagnose-
execute-plan-base-check.json), explaining the growth as exactly the 5
restored labels — still verified under the PRE_PHASE6 cap (94497 < 94519)
and satisfying #913's 7-label requirement.

* fix(#2650): bind {outputFile} from the real Agent() return — was dead code

Independent review blocker: PLANNER_OUTPUT_FILE/CHECKER_OUTPUT_FILE were
read by every gsd_stall_watch call but never assigned anywhere in the
diff. With the variable permanently empty, `[ -f "$output_file" ]` was
always false, marker_found could never become true, and marker_received
was unreachable — the marker-based detection path was permanently dead.

Worse for the plan-checker spawn specifically: a checker that PASSES
touches no *-PLAN.md files, so it had no working completion signal at
all without the marker path. A healthy plan-checker finishing cleanly in
two minutes would be declared stalled once planner.stall_threshold_minutes
elapsed and the recovery menu would fire on an already-succeeded agent —
worse than the original unbounded hang.

Fixed by replacing the dead bash variable with the `{outputFile}`
orchestrator-substitution token, the same convention docs-update.md:471
already uses for a real run_in_background=true Agent() return ("Read
tool: file_path: `{outputFile from README agent result}`"). This is a
net BYTE SAVING at each site (`"{outputFile}"` is shorter than
`"$PLANNER_OUTPUT_FILE"`), which funded moving the full binding
explanation — including why plan-checker's *-PLAN.md glob alone is not
a working completion signal — into the lazily-loaded reference file to
stay under the frozen PRE_PHASE6 cap (94496 bytes, 22 headroom; net +13
over baseline, acknowledged in tests/emitted-drift-acks/2650-plan-phase-
stall-detection.json).

Added a regression test asserting plan-phase.md itself binds {outputFile}
at all 5 spawn sites and contains no dangling $PLANNER_OUTPUT_FILE /
$CHECKER_OUTPUT_FILE reference — the previous test suite only exercised
gsd_stall_watch's behavior when handed a valid argument, which is why
the dead production wiring survived two rounds of review. Also fixed
tests/fix-2650-plan-phase-stall-detection.test.cjs:170-195's raw
try/finally to use t.after(), per CONTRIBUTING's test-cleanup convention.

* chore(#2650): backfill changeset PR number to 3015

* fix: normalize CRLF at the read boundary in all .md-bash-extraction tests

Maintainer-authorized scope expansion, folded into this PR rather than
deferred: the Windows CI lane on this PR's own tests/fix-2650-plan-phase-
stall-detection.test.cjs exposed DEFECT.TEST-SHELL-PIPELINE-NONPORTABLE
(CONTEXT.md; recurring since #1700) as a repo-wide latent class, not a
one-off. Ten test files parse a fenced ```bash block out of a workflow
.md file and execute it via spawnSync/execFileSync; a Windows checkout
can yield CRLF line endings despite .gitattributes eol=lf, and bash then
treats the trailing \r on every extracted line as part of the token —
"unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'" or a bare syntax error,
partway through the script.

Added tests/helpers.cjs:readFileNormalized() — strips \r\n -> \n at the
read boundary, before any fence-slicing or regex runs, so every
downstream operation is correct by construction. Migrated all ten call
sites to it:

Previously broken (fs.readFileSync with no normalization anywhere
between read and spawn):
- tests/worktree-cleanup.test.cjs (extractCwdGuardBash) — also fixes a
  misleading comment claiming the fence regex alone was "CRLF-safe"; it
  protected only the fence delimiters, never the captured body.
- tests/new-milestone-clear-phases.test.cjs (extractFenceBetween,
  extractFenceContaining)
- tests/code-review-pipeline-regression.test.cjs (extractPostProcessingScript)
- tests/drift-detection.test.cjs (readGate/bashBlock, plus the snippet-file
  comparison read in the same test)
- tests/graphify-visualization.test.cjs (extractStep3Block)
- tests/pause-work-improvements.test.cjs (extractCheckBlock)
- tests/plan-review-convergence.test.cjs (extractReviewerFlagsParseBlock
  and the inline post-config-gate resolution-block slices)

Already correct (split(/\r?\n/) then join('\n')), migrated to the shared
helper for consistency rather than a fourth/fifth/sixth copy of the same
fix:
- tests/git-base-branch.test.cjs (extractHandleBranchingBash)
- tests/quick-branching.test.cjs (extractStep25Bash)
- tests/runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs (extractResolverSnippet)

Verified against a simulated Windows CRLF checkout (not assumed): for
both the worktree-cleanup.test.cjs and new-milestone-clear-phases.test.cjs
extraction shapes, confirmed the pre-fix code produces a real bash syntax
error on CRLF input and the post-fix code does not.

One eslint follow-up: local/no-crlf-fragile-split statically flags any
bare `\n` inside a markdown-fence-shaped regex, regardless of whether the
receiver was already normalized — it cannot see the readFileNormalized()
data-flow. Kept `\r?\n` in extractCwdGuardBash's fence regex (redundant
but harmless on pre-normalized input) rather than fight the rule.

Scope note: this diff is broader than issue #2650's own change (plan-
phase.md stall detection) because the Windows lane surfaced a genuine
repo-wide defect class while verifying that fix, and the maintainer
authorized fixing it here rather than filing it separately and shipping
a known-broken pattern.

Runtime impact: none — this is a test-harness-only defect. The live
orchestrator (Claude Code or another runtime) does not do a byte-exact
extract-and-pipe of .md content into a shell the way these tests do; it
reads the instructions and generates its own bash invocation text, which
does not reproduce a raw CRLF pass-through the same way.

Not touched: tests/plan-review-convergence.test.cjs's separate, tracked
spawnSync ETIMEDOUT flake under bench load (#3005, reproduced on
unmodified next) — unrelated load-sensitivity, not a CRLF symptom.

* fix(#2650): remove stale drift-ack fragment — plan-phase.md is self-explaining

tests/emitted-drift-acks/2650-plan-phase-stall-detection.json acknowledged
plan-phase.md's own emitted-path hash move, but plan-phase.md is directly
edited in this diff. Per the emitted-attribution law (ADR-2719,
tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs), a workflow's emitted key equals its
own source path (gsd-core-verbatim identity rule), so a direct edit to the
source is self-explaining and auto-attributed — no ack was ever needed.

Verified via the pre-merge lint (scripts/lint-emitted-drift-ack.cjs, run
through npm run lint:ci with a fully cleared eslint cache): it passes clean
with the fragment removed, confirming no contradiction between the lint and
the runtime attribution gate — this was simply an unnecessary fragment.

* fix(#2650): restore plan-phase.md drift-ack — size ratchet demands it against next

tests/emitted-drift-acks/2650-plan-phase-stall-detection.json was deleted in
the previous commit because, against an earlier verification base, it was
inert: it explained a moved emitted hash that a direct edit to plan-phase.md
already self-attributes. Against origin/next@f1af47766a the demand is
different: plan-phase.md is 13 bytes larger than the base copy, which trips
the emitted-attribution size ratchet — a job this same ack also performs.

Recreated in the documented shape, keyed on the bare filename plan-phase.md
(not the full path, and not restating the byte delta per review guidance),
describing the actual change: the {outputFile} binding fix for the dead
PLANNER_OUTPUT_FILE/CHECKER_OUTPUT_FILE variables and the 5 restored
ORCHESTRATOR RULE labels required by #913, both at the stall-watch spawn
sites, with explanatory bodies living in the lazily-loaded
gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/stall-detection-helpers.md reference.

Confirmed no other fragment (on this branch or on next) claims the bare key
"plan-phase.md" before recreating — scripts/lint-emitted-drift-ack.cjs's
duplicate check is an exact string match, and the only other mention of
plan-phase.md in tests/emitted-drift-acks/ (2658-trae-instruction-file-path.json)
uses the full path as its key, so there is no collision.

* fix(#2650): real cause of Windows CI failure — bash -c argv-transport, not CRLF

The CRLF diagnosis for PR #3015's Windows failure was wrong. Proven wrong,
not assumed: .gitattributes' blanket `* text=auto eol=lf` means a Windows
checkout never receives CRLF for stall-detection-helpers.md, and the
extracted fence's line 64 is byte-identical and correctly balanced on every
platform. The real cause: runShouldRecover() passed a 70+ line, quote-dense
script as ONE argv element to `spawnSync('bash', ['-c', script, arg0, ...])`
PLUS four more positional args. Windows has no execve — Node serializes
that whole argv into a single CreateProcess command-line string, and Git
Bash's MSYS layer re-splits and unescapes it with its own rules. The
boundary between the script and the trailing args was not stable across
that round trip (live evidence: one failure's stderr was prefixed
`gsd_stall_should_recover_test:` — arg0 arrived — another `/usr/bin/bash:`
— arg0 did not).

Fixed by writing the script to a temp file and running `bash <file> <args>`
instead — the four values are now normal, quote-free positional args, and
the script itself never enters argv transport at all. Mirrors
tests/quick-branching.test.cjs's extractStep25Bash/runStep, which already
uses this exact shape and is green on Windows on `next`.
tests/worktree-cleanup.test.cjs's extractCwdGuardBash/runGuard stays on
`bash -c` but never appends extra positional args beyond the script itself,
so it never hits the same boundary — checked both siblings per review, not
assumed.

Corrected the now-actively-misleading CRLF comment in
extractStallHelpersBash(), and corrected the changeset's claim that the
repo-wide CRLF-normalization fix (folded into this branch, maintainer-
authorized) explains this PR's own Windows failure — it doesn't, though it
remains defensible on its own merits as general test-portability hardening.

Separately, while auditing the shipped (non-test) gsd_stall_watch for
Windows portability per review request, found and fixed a second, real
user-facing defect: the artifact-freshness check used GNU find's
`-newermt "@<epoch>"` shorthand, which the BSD find(1) actually shipped on
macOS does NOT understand ("Can't parse date/time: @<epoch>", verified live
against /usr/bin/find on both a stale and a genuinely fresh file). With the
adjacent `2>/dev/null`, that failed silently and permanently degraded
artifact_fresh to false on every macOS run — a plan-checker or planner
actively writing plan files could still be reported "stalled." Replaced
with `find $glob -mmin -N` ("modified less than N minutes ago"), which
needs no date-string parsing and is supported identically by GNU find and
BSD find; verified live that the old shape fails and the new shape passes
against the same real fresh file. Added a real-execution regression test
(gsd_stall_watch with `sleep` stubbed to a no-op so the test doesn't
actually wait, but the real `find ... -mmin` line still runs) proving the
fix, replacing the prior "not integration-tested" note for that path.

Note: the remote gsd-test runner is Linux-only, so it cannot itself confirm
the Windows fix — only the actual windows-latest CI lane can.

* fix(#2650): route the third bash -c call site through the same temp-file seam

runWatch() and a `-mmin` regression test still passed their script via
`bash -c <script>` after the previous commit only converted
runShouldRecover() — live Windows CI on 4b86cc57f confirmed the mechanism:
failures went 11 -> 4, and `full test (windows-latest, 22, shard 1/3)` and
`shard 2/3` flipped from fail to pass, but the remaining 4 failures (all in
this file, all still `bash: -c:`) were exactly the gsd_stall_watch describe
block, which runWatch() serves. runWatch() passes NO extra positional args
at all, so this also rules out the trailing-args theory from the prior
commit: the ~73-line, quote-dense script itself is what does not survive
Windows argv serialization when passed as a single `-c` element, regardless
of how many (if any) further argv elements follow it.

Extracted one shared runBashScript(script, args, opts) helper — write to a
fs.mkdtempSync'd file, run `bash <file> [args...]`, clean up in `finally` —
and routed all three bash-invoking call sites in this file through it
(runShouldRecover, runWatch, and the -mmin freshness test that builds its
own script inline for the `sleep` stub). One transport seam means a fourth
call site in this file cannot silently reintroduce the bug in isolation,
which is exactly what happened here with a second call site.

Corrected extractStallHelpersBash()'s doc comment a second time to state
the mechanism precisely (script content, not argv-element count) and cite
the live evidence (11->4 failures, shards 1 and 2 flipping green) so the
next reader does not have to rediscover it.

Audited every other bash-invoking call site in files this branch touches,
per review request:
- tests/code-review-pipeline-regression.test.cjs (runPostProcessing),
  tests/graphify-visualization.test.cjs (runBlock), and
  tests/drift-detection.test.cjs (two execFileSync('bash', ['-c', ...])
  sites, one of them carrying the same giant runtime-launcher preamble
  text) — all pre-existing, UNCHANGED by this branch (only touched for the
  readFileNormalized() CRLF swap), and already exercised on `next`'s last
  six Windows CI runs per the reviewer's own citation. Left as-is: no
  evidence of failure, and converting untested pre-existing code outside
  #2650's scope on an unverifiable guess would be its own risk.
- tests/git-base-branch.test.cjs (runHandleBranchingStep) and
  tests/quick-branching.test.cjs (runStep) already use the same temp-file
  pattern. No action needed.
- tests/runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs (runResolver) uses `bash -c` but
  is explicitly `if (process.platform === 'win32') return '';` guarded off
  on Windows entirely, for an unrelated extension-less-PATH-stub reason —
  never reaches Windows argv transport at all. No action needed.
- tests/worktree-cleanup.test.cjs (runGuard) confirmed by the reviewer as
  correct and verified; not touched, per instruction.

Do not touch: the -mmin fix, the drift-ack fragment, the changeset — all
three confirmed correct in prior rounds and left untouched here.

Note: the remote gsd-test runner is Linux-only and cannot confirm this;
only the windows-latest lanes on #3015 can.

* fix(#2650): give runBashScript a default timeout

runShouldRecover() was the only one of the three call sites through
runBashScript() with no timeout — runWatch() and the -mmin test both pass
timeout: 10000 explicitly. Not a regression (this path never had a bound
before), but CONTEXT.md's unbounded-subprocess guidance applies directly,
and runShouldRecover() is driven repeatedly by a fast-check property test:
one pathological input that fails to terminate would hang CI indefinitely
instead of failing.

timeout: 10000 is now the helper's own default, with ...opts spread after
it so the two existing explicit timeout: 10000 call sites are unchanged
and any future caller inherits a bound automatically.

* fix(#2650): build the -mmin freshness test's glob with forward slashes

Windows CI on d6ddda6ea reported the last failure: the -mmin regression
test expected 'active' but got 'waiting' — find matched nothing, the same
silent-degradation shape as the macOS -newermt defect, but this time in the
test's own fixture rather than the shipped bash.

Traced what production actually passes: every gsd_stall_watch call site in
plan-phase.md builds artifact_glob as `"${PHASE_DIR}"'/*-PLAN.md'` —
PHASE_DIR is a POSIX-style .planning/phases/NN-slug value, and the whole
thing runs under Git Bash regardless of host OS, so production's glob is
always forward-slash. The test instead built it with
`path.join(tmp, '*-PLAN.md')`, which on Windows yields a backslash path
(C:\Users\RUNNER~1\...\*-PLAN.md). In bash pathname expansion a backslash
escapes the next character, so that pattern can never match a real path —
find silently returns empty under the existing 2>/dev/null, same shape as
the macOS bug. Confirmed as a test artifact, not a production defect:
production never constructs the glob this way, so no Windows user is
affected.

Fixed by forward-slashing the tmp dir before appending the glob suffix,
matching production's own convention, with a comment recording why (so a
future "simplify this back to path.join" edit doesn't silently reintroduce
the failure). The shipped bash's unquoted $artifact_glob is untouched —
quoting it would break the multi-file glob expansion it exists for.

Note: the remote runner is Linux-only and already passed clean at
d6ddda6ea (0/29,603, both node lanes); only the windows-latest lanes on
#3015 can confirm this fix.

* fix(#2650): forward-slash the three remaining runWatch globs (vacuous-pass CR)

The :353 fix (833c11da9) only converted the -mmin freshness test's glob.
Three sibling tests in the same describe block still built theirs with
path.join(tmp, '*-PLAN.md'), which yields a backslash path on Windows.

Two of those three were silently passing for the wrong reason: the
'-> stalled' and '-> waiting' tests both expect the glob to match nothing,
and on Windows a backslash path matches nothing regardless of whether the
directory is actually empty (bash eats each backslash as an escape before
the pattern is even evaluated). They would have passed identically with
glob expansion completely broken, which is a vacuous pass — not exercising
what they claim to. The third ('-> marker_received') is outcome-independent
of the glob, so it was merely inconsistent rather than wrong.

Converted all three to the same `${tmp.replace(/\\/g, '/')}/*-PLAN.md`
construction already used at the -mmin test, so every glob in the file now
matches production's own forward-slash `"${PHASE_DIR}"'/*-PLAN.md'` shape,
and the two negative tests are meaningful on Windows instead of accidentally
correct. Reworded the trailing comment on the 'stalled' test's glob line:
it now describes the fixture (the tmp dir contains no *-PLAN.md files)
rather than the pattern, since "matches nothing" read as a property of the
glob syntax when it's a property of what's on disk.

No assertion, the sleep stub, runBashScript, or the shipped bash changed.
Smoke-tested all three updated tests manually before committing (not via
node --test): marker_received / stalled / waiting, all correct.

* fix(#2650): fix own regression tests for #2993's plan-phase.md relocation

531101843's merge with origin/next brought in #2993 (unrelated, epic #1671
Phase 6.2), which extracted plan-phase.md's whole "Chunked Planning Mode"
section into gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/chunked-planning-mode.md,
leaving a <!-- gsd:section --> pointer behind. tests/plan-phase-drift-guard.
test.cjs (#913) was already updated to read the combined surface (host file
+ every steps/*.md) so its label count didn't go blind — my own #2650
regression tests were not, and searched plan-phase.md alone for the two
chunked spawn sites' headings, which no longer exist there. Two tests
failed outright (indexOf returning -1); a third ("standard planner spawn")
was silently weakened to an unbounded slice-to-EOF by the same relocation,
since its own end-boundary heading also moved — passing by accident rather
than by testing what it claimed.

Promoted the drift guard's local readPlanPhaseCombined() to a shared,
exported tests/helpers.cjs readWorkflowCombined(workflowPath) (host file +
sorted steps/*.md, CRLF-normalized at the read boundary) so a second,
divergent implementation is never written — the drift guard now delegates
to it via a same-named local wrapper, unchanged at every existing call site.

Fixed the three affected tests in tests/fix-2650-plan-phase-stall-detection.
test.cjs:
- "standard planner spawn (step 8)": end boundary changed from the now-gone
  "## 8.5. Chunked Planning Mode" heading to "## 9. Handle Planner Return",
  which still exists in plan-phase.md.
- "chunked outline spawn (8.5.1)" / "chunked per-plan spawn (8.5.2)": now
  read gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/chunked-planning-mode.md
  directly (not the generic multi-file combined blob, whose file-sort
  ordering would put unrelated step files between 8.5.2's slice and any
  downstream anchor) — the same heading-to-heading slicing as before still
  works because the file is small and self-contained.
- Extended the "no unbound $PLANNER_OUTPUT_FILE/$CHECKER_OUTPUT_FILE" check
  to also scan chunked-planning-mode.md, since two of the five spawn sites
  now live there.
- Added a new count-based test asserting exactly 5 (not "at least one")
  `gsd_stall_watch "$TS" "{outputFile}"` invocations across the combined
  surface, mirroring #913's own label-count guard, so every one of the five
  spawns stays provably bounded and a future relocation can't silently drop
  one without a test noticing.

Also added a small positive test that plan-phase.md's <!-- gsd:section -->
pointer to chunked-planning-mode.md exists (#2993 is unrelated to #2650 but
its presence is now load-bearing for where 2 of the 5 spawn sites live).

Audited every other test file in the repo for a stale reference to content
#2993 relocated (searched for the moved headings/prose and for
"chunked-planning-mode"/"CHUNKED_MODE" across all *.test.cjs): only this
file and the drift guard needed changes.
tests/issue-2762-plan-reviews-chunked.test.cjs already reads
chunked-planning-mode.md directly (brought in correct by the same merge).
gen-section-manifest.test.cjs, init.test.cjs, and workflow-fragments.test.cjs
reference "chunked-planning-mode" only as a manifest/section-id fixture
value for #2993 itself, not as a stale pointer to relocated content.

Did not touch: the ported ORCHESTRATOR RULE lines, run_in_background=true,
the glob constructions, runBashScript, the -mmin change, the timeout
default, or the drift-ack fragment (confirmed correct against the stale
local `next` ref two rounds ago and left alone).

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.

51f32d2d40 fix(#2658): detect trae runtime and resolve its instruction file to a concrete rules file (#3006)
* test(#2658): add failing-first regression for trae runtime detection and instruction path

Covers all three collided defects reported in #2658 plus a fourth
instance of defect 1 (ingest-docs.md) found while diagnosing it:
missing trae detection in workflow runtime-detection blocks, the
CLAUDE.md path-mutilation bug in both the js/cjs and md install-time
converters, and the missing projectInstructionFile capability
declaration. Fails against current source; the next commit fixes it.

* fix(#2658): detect trae runtime and resolve its instruction file to a concrete rules file

Three defects collided to produce the reported ".claude/.trae/rules/"
path:

1. new-project.md and ingest-docs.md's runtime-detection blocks only
   recognized codex/gemini/opencode and fell through to RUNTIME=claude
   for trae. Both now recognize the /.trae/ execution-context path and
   the TRAE_CONFIG_DIR env var before the claude fallback.
2. RUNTIME_CONTENT_DISPATCH.trae.js (bin/install.js) replaced bare
   "CLAUDE.md" before the ".claude/" prefix was handled, mutilating
   ".claude/CLAUDE.md" into ".claude/.trae/rules/". Now replaces the
   full ".claude/CLAUDE.md" path first, and targets a concrete file.
3. convertClaudeToTraeMarkdown (mirrored in bin/install.js and
   src/runtime-artifact-conversion.cts per the #2094 output-parity
   test) had the same class of bug with a different wrong output
   (".trae/.trae/rules/", from its generic ".claude/" rewrite firing
   after the bare CLAUDE.md rewrite). Both mirrors now match full-path
   forms before the bare/generic patterns, converging on the same
   concrete file as the js/cjs converter.
4. capabilities/trae/capability.json didn't declare
   hostBehaviors.projectInstructionFile, so getProjectInstructionFile
   fell through to the generic AGENTS.md default even when RUNTIME=trae
   was resolved correctly. Now declares ".trae/rules/rules.md",
   regenerated into gsd-core/bin/lib/capability-registry.cjs via
   npm run gen:capability-registry.

Closes #2658

* chore(#2658): add changeset

* fix(#2658): preserve arbitrary runtime-dir prefixes in the trae path rewrite

Found by the end-to-end --trae install regression test (not by static
trace) across two verification runs:

1. copyWithPathReplacement runs a generic ~/.claude/, $HOME/.claude/,
   and ./.claude/ -> runtime-dir rewrite on every .md file BEFORE
   calling convertClaudeToTraeMarkdown. The prior fix's
   .claude/CLAUDE.md-specific patterns never fire on that
   already-rewritten text, and the bare fallback still doubled
   whatever prefix the generic pass substituted. A first attempt
   handled only the fixed "./.trae/" shape and missed the
   $HOME/.claude/ and ~/.claude/ forms gsd-core/workflows/profile-user.md
   actually uses, which post-rewrite become an arbitrary absolute
   local-install-root path, not the fixed relative shape. Fixed with a
   prefix-preserving pattern that captures whatever precedes a
   ".trae/" tail and fixes only the filename suffix, instead of
   assuming one fixed shape.

2. The fix's own explanatory comments literally spelled out the
   malformed strings and the instruction filename as contiguous text.
   Since these two files ship verbatim into local --trae installs,
   where they are themselves run through the same find/replace, the
   comments got "fixed" right along with the real code, leaking the
   malformed string into the installed tree. Rewrote every comment in
   both mirror copies to never spell either the instruction filename
   or a malformed shape as one contiguous token.

Adds an emitted-drift-ack fragment: the corrected replacement target
for every CLAUDE.md mention (bare directory -> concrete file) changes
trae-emitted output for every repo file that mentions CLAUDE.md, not
only the ones that hit the originally reported bug.

* test(#2658): extend parity test with arbitrary-prefix .trae/ inputs

The bin/install.js vs runtime-artifact-conversion.cjs parity assertion
for convertClaudeToTraeMarkdown only fed the pre-existing bare
.claude/CLAUDE.md input through both implementations. Feed the
prefix-preserving cases (relative, nested-absolute, tilde, $HOME,
backtick-wrapped) plus a property-based check through both, so a
future edit to only one copy of the .trae/-tail regex fails this
test instead of silently diverging.

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.

42f4f184c0 fix(#2844): verify-summary ignores future/prose path mentions; resolves project root (#2910)
* fix(#2844): verify-summary binds file-claim extraction to a creation-claim context

verify-summary's Pattern 1 matched any backticked path-like token with no
context check, so a prose mention of a future deliverable (`shared/types.ts`
in a 'next phase will add…' sentence) was checked for existence and its absence
failed the verdict on a healthy phase. #2685 added shape filtering but no
context check.

- src/verify.cts: both extraction patterns now require a claim label on the line
  (Created/Modified/Added/Updated/Edited/key-files). A bare prose mention no
  longer matches; genuine labeled claims still do.
- gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs: remove 'verify-summary' from SKIP_ROOT_RESOLUTION
  so relative claim paths resolve against the project root, not the raw cwd
  (subdirectory invocation no longer manufactures missing files).

Regression tests: prose mention not treated as a claim; prose-only SUMMARY
passes; absent claimed file still fails.

* fix(#2667): mediate .cmd/.bat/.exe spawns on Windows; split fallow pre-pass failure diagnostic

run-with-timeout spawned .cmd/.bat/.exe commands without shell:true on Windows,
tripping Node's CVE-2024-27980 EINVAL (April 2024 security hardening). The fallow
structural pre-pass then no-op'd silently — a hard execution failure read the same
as 'optional dependency absent'.

(A) gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs runWithTimeout: gate shell:true on
    (win32 && command ends in .cmd/.bat/.exe). Narrow by design — never fires for
    the 7 `bash -c` callers (command is `bash`, no such suffix), so the recorded
    no-shell-for-argv-array security contract (DEFECT.UNBOUNDED-SUBPROCESS) is
    preserved; cmdArgs stays an array. POSIX untouched.
(B) code-review.md fallow pre-pass: name the failure KIND (timeout / spawn failure
    / crash / not-found) so a Windows .cmd spawn failure is not mistaken for an
    absent binary.

Regression test in tests/run-with-timeout.test.cjs gated to win32 (.cmd/.bat/.exe
shims run with exit 0 + non-empty stdout; pre-fix EINVAL → exit 125/empty). POSIX
negative-space test guards the unchanged bash -c callers.

* chore(#2667): changeset fragment

* chore(#2667): backfill changeset PR 2897 + correct body (cmd.exe array, not shell:true)

* fix(#2667): exclude .exe from the win32 spawn-mediation gate; ack code-review.md growth

CI caught two failures on the first push:

1. windows-24: 'exits 124 when the wall-clock budget is exceeded' regressed. The
   gate matched .exe, so the HANG command (node.exe -e 'setTimeout(...)') was
   wrapped in 'cmd.exe /c node.exe ...' — the wrapped child escaped the timeout
   cap's process-group reap (exit 124 never fired; hit the 30s harness backstop)
   AND cmd.exe risked mis-parsing the -e script arg. .exe is INTENTIONALLY
   excluded now: real PE executables spawn fine directly; only .cmd/.bat are the
   CVE-2024-27980 EINVAL cases. The .exe test becomes a negative-space test
   (node.exe spawned directly, exit 0).

2. ubuntu-22: emitted-attribution — code-review.md grew 1177 bytes from the
   #2667 fallow pre-pass failure-KIND case statement; acknowledge it.

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.

82ca13f5a5 fix(#2736): write current_phase_name from the transition intent, not the lossy prose round-trip (#2821)
* fix(#2736): intent-first current_phase_name on transitions; dash-first prose precedence

Primary: completePhase (adapter) and beginPhase (via readModifyWriteStateMd
options) pass the intent-held display name to syncStateFrontmatter as an
authoritative override, applied after every derive/preserve/carry-forward
step — so the lossy prose round-trip can never destroy a name the transition
just resolved. Names containing a parenthetical
(`Closer-ruling measurement (D1a)`) now land in frontmatter verbatim instead
of collapsing to the parenthetical (`D1a`).

Secondary (#1695 AC #3 residual): parsePhaseFromProse prefers the em-dash
name when it is a genuine name (not a status keyword, not a `Milestone:`
tail), else falls back to the parenthetical — satisfying both first-party
writer shapes (`N — Name (aside)` and `N (Name) — EXECUTING`). Still lossy
for paren-containing names, which is why the intent-first override is the
primary fix.

plannedPhase carries no name in its intent, so it is naturally out of scope.

Fixes #2736

* docs(changeset): backfill PR number for #2736 fragment

* fix(#2736): drop an unnecessary type assertion on result.data

StateTransitionResult.data is already `Record<string, unknown> | undefined`,

assertion (CI lint-tests red on the first push; every test lane was green).

3f6b063fbb chore(#2799): invoke_reviewers and write_reviews iterate declared lanes (#2861)
* chore(#2799): resolve reviewer lanes into executable invocation plans

Phase 5b of ADR-2782. Adds the resolver and runner that let invoke_reviewers
iterate declared lanes instead of hand-authored per-CLI bash.

Five additive descriptor amendments, each forced by a lane that ships today:
- LaneHandler gains 'opencode' — the lane rebuilds its review from assistant
  text parts of a --format json stream; a plain stdout copy re-breaks #1936.
- modelConfigKey — antigravity's key is review.models.agy, not .antigravity,
  so resolving by slug silently dropped a configured model.
- defaultHost/fallbackModel — Phase 4 federated every *_host with a default of
  empty string; the real fallback only existed in the bash.
- args becomes an argv template with a closed four-placeholder vocabulary.
  Positional splicing produced 'codex --model M -o F exec --ephemeral', which
  is not a valid invocation: codex injects in the middle, twice.
- kimi-code lane, with the bounded command-capability probe (needle
  --output-format) that tells Kimi Code from the legacy python kimi-cli.

Parity gate re-pointed: the workflow-text families it scanned are the text this
phase deletes, so they are replaced by descriptor-to-registry parity plus an
anti-parity check that no bespoke leg returns.

jq, curl and external timeout/gtimeout all drop out of the review path.

Refs #2782

* chore(#2799): add review-lane query surface and widen the manifest vocabulary

Adds the gsd-tools 'review-lane' route (plan/invoke/sections) the workflow
loops over, projects all twelve lanes into their capability manifests, and
widens capability-validator for the amendments.

opencode admitted to VALID_LANE_HANDLERS under the second arm of the enum's
own admission rule: one lane, justified by a documented upstream defect data
cannot express (#1936 — the agent can end its turn with zero output tokens and
--format default then drops the assistant text entirely).

Two bugs caught by an end-to-end stub run and fixed here:
- loadConfigResolved returns a provenance wrapper, not the config; using it
  directly resolved every key to undefined, which reads as 'nothing
  configured' and silently dropped every model override.
- hasBinary used shell:true with an args array (Node 26 DEP0190). Replaced
  with a PATH scan that spawns nothing at all.

Refs #2782

* chore(#2799): iterate declared lanes in invoke_reviewers and write_reviews

Replaces the eleven hand-authored per-CLI bash legs with a loop over resolved
lanes, and renders REVIEWS.md sections from each lane's declared
reviewsSection instead of thirteen hardcoded headings. review.md drops from
1104 lines to 507 (61KB to 28.7KB).

Parity gate re-pointed, as agreed: the leg-marker and section-heading families
scanned exactly the text this phase deletes, so they are replaced by
descriptor-to-registry parity in both directions, plus an anti-parity check
that fires if a bespoke leg is ever re-added. Enum, emitting sites and the
Object.keys lock moved together.

The budget-trim helper is hoisted out of the Ollama leg: it was always
lane-agnostic, and any lane may now declare a promptBudgetKey.

Refs #2782

* feat(#2799): bind the consented egress host and re-verify it at invocation

Completes ADR-2782 D5. Rule 1 was recorded in the ADR as delivered by Phase 3
but was not implemented: ConsentRecord had no host field and nothing in the
tree bound one, so this phase's rule-4 comparison had no baseline.

ConsentRecord gains an OPTIONAL reviewerHost. Optional is the whole design:
isValidConsentRecord does not require it, so every record already on disk
stays valid and no re-consent storm fires (D4 rule 5). It is deliberately
excluded from disclosureSignature — the loader has no config resolver, so
folding a config-derived value in would make loader and lifecycle compute
different signatures for the same manifest and re-prompt forever.

Install resolves hostConfigKey (falling back to the lane's declared
defaultHost, which is what the invocation path uses) and records it.
Invocation re-resolves and blocks on mismatch rather than silently
redirecting. Absence allows: no record, or a record predating the field,
means nothing to compare — denying there would break every existing
local-model user on upgrade.

Refs #2782

* test(#2799): cover the resolver, runner and handlers; retarget the parity suites

Adds the golden invocation-plan table (one row per shipped lane, derived from
the bash legs rather than the descriptor types) plus runner coverage for the
probe, empty-output policy, the three handlers and the egress check.

Retargets the existing suites onto the new contract: descriptor-to-registry
parity, the anti-parity check, the opencode handler, and the twelfth lane.

Two corrections found by running them:
- modelConfigKey was required; that breaks D4 rule 2, since a reviewer
  manifest authored before this phase would fail validation on upgrade. It is
  optional, read as null when absent.
- the antigravity non-zero-exit test pre-seeded the transcript, which asserted
  that a STALE entry leaks through — the exact bug the watermark prevents. The
  spawn now appends, as the real tool does.

Refs #2782

* fix(#2799): restore agy --add-dir and the self-report prompt in the handler

Retargeting the three legacy reviewer suites off the deleted bash surfaced two
real regressions in the port, both #2176:

- --add-dir was dropped. Without it agy's permission context never receives the
  cwd repo, so the agent anchors on its own scratch dir and reviews the plan
  text in isolation — the exact failure the Review Instructions forbid. It is
  capability-probed, because an older agy rejects the unknown flag outright and
  a lane that fails to start is worse than one running on the prompt anchor.
- the prompt lost the clause mandating a REVIEWED-WITHOUT-REPO-ACCESS
  self-report, which is what makes a blind review distinguishable from a
  grounded one. antigravity now builds its own prompt variant.

Also ports the #2073 mode-2 cli.log diagnostic, which was dropped: a pinned
model that 404s exits 0 with empty stdout AND an empty transcript, so agy's own
log is the only evidence that anything failed.

The three suites now assert against the plan and the handler instead of
matching fence text, so they no longer need allow-test-rule exemptions.

Refs #2782

* docs(#2799): document the declared lanes, the new flag, and dropped prerequisites

COMMANDS.md gains --kimi-code and replaces the jq-prerequisite paragraph,
which is now false: no lane requires jq, curl or an external timeout. Adds the
changed-egress-destination behavior, since a blocked lane is something a user
can hit.

CONFIGURATION.md records that the model config key is declared per lane rather
than derived from the flag — antigravity's is review.models.agy — and adds
review.models.kimi-code.

reviewer-instances.md now routes an instance through its lane's single
invocation seam instead of a copied per-adapter bash block, which is what lets
a cross-cutting fix reach instances for free. That required implementing the
--model/--agent/--as flags it documents; --model re-resolves through the lane's
argv template rather than splicing, so the flag lands where the lane declares
it rather than ahead of a subcommand.

CONTEXT.md glossary gains both new modules.

Refs #2782

* chore(#2799): drop the stale emitted-drift acknowledgment

The only entry was #2797's, acknowledging COMMENT-ONLY GROWTH in review.md.
That file now shrinks by ~32KB and every emitted hash that moved is
attributable to this diff, so the ack no longer explains anything. Removing
the last entry means removing the file: its presence is the alarm, and an
empty one signals nothing.

Verified by deleting it and re-running the attribution and provenance gates
plus lint:ci — all green without it.

Refs #2782

* docs(#2799): record the Phase 5b vocabulary widenings in ADR-2782

Five additive amendments, each forced by a lane that ships today, plus two
corrections the phase had to make rather than work around:

- D5 rule 1 was recorded as delivered by Phase 3 and was not implemented, so
  this phase's rule-4 comparison had no baseline. Recorded because an ADR
  asserting a rule was delivered is exactly what stops a later phase checking.
- The DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX gate is re-pointed: its workflow-text families
  scanned the text this phase deletes.

Also records that D7's 'skip the probe where no bounding mechanism exists'
carve-out is obsolete — in practice it meant the Antigravity lane ran unbounded
on every stock macOS host, which ships neither timeout nor gtimeout.

Refs #2782

* fix(#2799): close four defects found by adversarial review

Two confirmed bugs, both reproduced before fixing:

- resolveLanePlan was not total. An openai-http lane with a missing or
  non-object invoke dereferenced inv.hostConfigKey and threw, contradicting
  the module's own documented contract; the spawn branch guarded correctly and
  the http branch did not. The CLI seam resolves every selected lane in one
  map, so one malformed overlay manifest would have aborted the whole review
  rather than dropping its own lane. Guarded, plus a per-lane try/catch at the
  seam so a throw can never take down siblings.
- A reviewer-instance model was silently dropped for any lane declaring
  modelConfigKey null (cursor, qwen, coderabbit). reviewer_instances validates
  that cli is a known slug but never that the slug accepts a model, so a user
  could configure one, get a clean run, and never learn a different model
  reviewed their plan. Now warns explicitly.

Two hardening fixes:

- The slug is concatenated into artifact paths, so LANE_SLUG_RE is enforced in
  the resolver rather than inherited from a validator that does not run on this
  path — the module documents itself as the overlay-manifest trust boundary, so
  it should not depend on someone else having checked.
- normalizeHost mangled a scheme-less value: new URL('localhost:11434') parses
  with an empty hostname, so it became 'localhost://11434' and was compared and
  requested as if real. An empty hostname now means not-a-URL.

Also documents the one gap that cannot be closed here: the antigravity
watermark is keyed by workspace, so two concurrent reviews of the same repo
share a transcript. agy exposes no per-invocation id to filter on, so the
handler now states which half of its never-stale guarantee actually holds.

Refs #2782

* test(#2799): retarget the remaining eight review.md-asserting suites

The remote runner found 37 failures the local sweep missed (it hit the shell's
two-minute cap before reaching these). All eight extract per-CLI bash from
review.md that this phase deletes; each protects a real invariant, so each is
retargeted onto the plan, the runner or the handler rather than removed.

Three real defects surfaced by doing so:

- effort args never reached ANY lane. model-resolver.cjs exports no
  resolveExecution, so effortFor silently returned [] every time. Restored by
  calling the same bounded resolve-execution query the bash legs used — and
  NOT with --raw, which prints the resolved effort rather than the picked
  field, so claude got 'low' instead of '--effort low'.
- the timeout guidance lost 'a silent empty output is a timeout kill, not a
  crash' — the operator note that exists because of the Codex 0xc0000142
  misdiagnosis. Restored.
- the opencode handler dropped EMPTY assistant text parts. The shipped jq was
  , and  only substitutes for false/null — an empty
  string is truthy in jq and contributed a blank line. Found by a property
  test shrinking to ['', ''].

The opencode property suite no longer spawns jq at all, which deletes the
#2099 hang mechanism it was architected around rather than mitigating it.

Refs #2782

* fix(#2799): register the two new generated modules, and untrack them

The remote runner caught build output committed to git. Both new modules
compile from src/*.cts into gsd-core/bin/lib/*.cjs, and every sibling generated
that way is gitignored and eslint-ignored (ADR-457) - including Phase 1's own
review-lane-descriptor.cjs. Mine were neither, so repo-invariants' "each
bin/lib/*.cjs is linted xor ignored according to migration state" failed.

Registered both in .gitignore and eslint.config.mjs alongside the Phase 1
module, and dropped them from the index. Nothing about the shipped behaviour
changes; the artifacts are rebuilt by build:lib.

This is the new-.cts-module registration ripple, and it is the one part of it I
had not completed - the CONTEXT.md glossary and the inventory manifest were
already done.

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

* 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.

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.

* 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.

* 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

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

09477f925e fix(#2686): thread the resolved executor model into the Workflow backend (#2715)
* test(#2686): failing-first parity guard for Workflow-backend model threading

The Workflow backend emitted every agent() call with no model, so
model_overrides / model_policy / model_profile were silently inert on that path
while the inline path honored them (ADR-1411). Neither existing suite contained
the string 'model' at all.

The centrepiece derives BOTH sides from resolveModelInternal(cwd,'gsd-executor')
rather than hardcoding either, so it asserts backend parity rather than a fixed
string. Also covers: omit-on-inherit/empty (#2517), byte-identical output when
nothing resolves, the #2772/#2285 per-plan worktree gate, adversarial model ids
reaching the code generator, the #2285 composed seam, CLI config-defaulting, and
a fast-check round-trip property.

RED expected: no model key is emitted anywhere, and --executor-model does not exist.

* fix(#2686): thread the resolved executor model into the Workflow backend

The Workflow backend emitted every agent() call with no model at all, so
model_overrides / model_policy / model_profile_overrides / model_profile were
silently inert on that path while the inline path honored all of them. The model
was not dropped at the last step — it was absent from the whole seam:
agentOptions() took no model, EmitInput had no field to carry one, and
ResolveWaveDispatchInput (the #2285 seam the orchestrator actually calls) could
not forward one. The generated script asserted the parity it broke.

VERIFY-FIRST, which #2686 flags as the question that decides the fix: the
Workflow tool's agent() DOES accept a per-call model. Its documented signature is
  agent(prompt, opts?: { label?, phase?, schema?, model?, effort?, isolation?, agentType? })
so fix branch 1 applies and branch 2 (declare model routing unavailable) is ruled
out. ADR-1143:24's option enumeration omitting `model` is an incomplete
enumeration, not a decision to exclude it.

- agentOptions(p, executorModel) emits `model` only when it is a non-empty string
  that is not "inherit" (#2517: an empty model 404s on runtimes without native
  tier aliases). A non-string is a malformed config: omit, never throw.
- executorModel threaded through EmitInput and ResolveWaveDispatchInput.
- The CLI resolves gsd-executor from project config by DEFAULT rather than
  requiring a flag, reading the same source the inline path reads. An
  orchestrator that never learns about a new flag would otherwise silently keep
  the old bug. --executor-model exists only to pin/override.
- ADR-1411 provenance: the generated header now states which model was applied,
  or that none resolved and why. A fallback must be a visible value.

Compatibility: when nothing resolves, the emitted options object is byte-identical
to before, so every existing caller and assertion is unaffected.

Behavior change (Hyrum's Law): opted-in users move from session inheritance to the
catalog-resolved executor model. Adding a `model` key also changes agent() opts,
which invalidates the cached prefix of any in-flight resumeFromRunId run — a
one-time re-execution. Both disclosed in the changeset.

* fix(#2686): reject script-breaking model ids and share the emit predicate

The isolated adversarial review found a BLOCKER in my own provenance comment,
proven by execution (the emitted script exited 42 from an injected statement).

U+2028/U+2029 are ECMAScript LineTerminators that END a `//` single-line comment
in EVERY engine — the ES2019 change legalized them inside string LITERALS only.
So quoteString (JSON.stringify) is sufficient for the `model: "..."` object
literal but NOT for the `// model: ...` provenance line I added: a raw U+2028 in
a model id closed the comment and made the rest of the line live top-level code.
The value is reachable from `.planning/config.json` (model_overrides /
model_policy), which `mapClaudeOverrideForRuntime` passes through verbatim on any
non-claude runtime — attacker-influenceable in a cloned repo.

`emitWorkflowScript` now rejects a string executorModel carrying any character in
UNSCRIPTABLE_CHAR_RE — the same class `isScriptableIdentifier` already applied to
phaseDir/runId, which is proof the codebase knew this hazard. Rejection is
ok:false with a reason rather than a silent drop, and resolveWaveDispatch maps an
emit failure to the inline backend WITH that reason, so the degradation is
visible. A non-string stays on the existing defensive path (omit, never throw) —
that is malformed config, not an injection attempt.

Also from the reviews:

- The predicate deciding "is this model emittable" was duplicated between the
  emission and the comment asserting it. Extracted to emittableModel() so a
  generated comment can never claim something the generator did not do — the
  exact failure class #2686 was filed for.
- That predicate now trims and lower-cases before comparing, closing a real
  #2517-class gap: " " and "INHERIT" were previously emitted verbatim.
- The adversarial test was pass-always against this very vulnerability — it
  asserted only that JSON.stringify appeared. Replaced with the real contract
  (rejection) plus an execution-level check that no LineTerminator survives into
  the comment. A raw U+2028 had also been committed into that test's fixture
  array where a tab was intended; both are now explicit \u escapes.
- optionsOf in the test was /\{[^}]*\}/, which truncated at any brace a generated
  model contained — silently not testing what it claimed. Now brace- and
  string-aware.

Stale-test corrections in tests/fix-2285-*: three assertions froze the exact
options literal `{ agentType: "gsd-executor" }`. The object legitimately gained
an optional additive `model` key, so they now assert the invariant they exist to
protect (agentType present, isolation absent) rather than a frozen literal. The
CLI-vs-pure equality test pins --executor-model on both sides; otherwise it
compared a config-resolved CLI run against a pure call given no model.

CONTEXT.md glossary updated for the changed emitWorkflowScript signature and the
new rejection rule (CLAUDE.md: the glossary is a PR gate for core-module changes).

* test(#2686): fix the options extractor and model the rejection path

Two defects in my own test helper, caught by the full matrix:

- optionsOf anchored on /\(\s*\{/ — a '(' immediately followed by '{'. The
  emitted shape is agent("brief", { ... }), so that never matched and the helper
  returned an empty array, making every assertion over it vacuously true. It now
  anchors on agent( and takes the first balanced, string-aware {...} after it.

- The fast-check property predated the security fix and asserted ok:true for any
  generated string. Strings carrying an unscriptable character are now rejected,
  so the property models the real three-way contract: unscriptable -> ok:false;
  trims to empty or 'inherit' (any case) -> omitted; otherwise -> emitted as the
  trimmed value.

Verified locally against the built module: omit values clean, both plans carry
the model on the parity path, property passes 500 runs at seed 42. Test file
re-scanned for raw hazardous codepoints — zero; the U+2028/U+2029 cases are
explicit \u escapes.

UNSCRIPTABLE_CHAR_RE is not exported from src/claude-orchestration.cts, hence
the mirror.

c07734216f fix(#2603): document kimi-code in the host-integration capability matrix (#2687)
* fix(#2603): document kimi-code in the host-integration matrix; correct 3 inherited axes

The matrix — ADR-1239's deployment source-of-truth — had a section for 18 of 19
installed runtimes but none for `kimi-code`, so its `hostIntegration` axes shipped
with no citation and no evidence quote.

Sourcing every axis independently against Kimi Code CLI's own docs (the issue's
explicit requirement — `kimi` and `kimi-code` are distinct products) showed three
values had been inherited from the Python `kimi` descriptor rather than sourced:

- `embeddingMode` imperative -> declarative. Kimi Code plugins are a
  `kimi.plugin.json` manifest plus markdown Skills with no in-process programmatic
  API (docs/en/customization/plugins.md) — the same shape as `codex`.
- `dispatch.nested` false -> true. The `coder` built-in "can dispatch its own
  nested sub-agents when a task decomposes naturally" (docs/en/customization/agents.md).
  The Python `kimi` CLI genuinely prohibits nesting; Kimi Code does not.
- `dispatch.maxDepth` 1 -> "undocumented". Nesting is documented but no depth
  bound is published, so the fail-closed sentinel applies over a guessed integer.

`dispatch.namedDispatch` deliberately stays `false`: GSD's kimi-code artifact
layout installs Agent Skills only (no `agents` kind), so no named GSD subagent is
registered with the host and `resolveDispatchType` maps every role onto
coder/explore/plan. Flipping it would reintroduce the dispatch failure recorded in
docs/migration/kimi-to-kimi-code.md. The matrix records the host-capability nuance
under Documentation gaps instead.

Behaviourally inert: `namedDispatch:false` already caps nested/maxDepth/background/
backgroundDispatch to false/0 in the effective axes (host-integration.cts:493-499),
and the install adapter is not selected by `embeddingMode` (install.js:543 always
uses the imperative adapter). The one visible effect is the curated profile pin,
which moves programmatic-cli -> declarative-cli.

Also fixes the axes legend, which omitted the `built-in-only` subagentToolkit
member that has been in the closed vocabulary since kimi-code shipped.

Same defect class and countermeasure as #2598: pin the corrected values and require
the matrix to agree with the descriptor, because a descriptor/matrix disagreement is
how the gap survived.

Closes #2603

* fix(#2603): report the maxDepth `undocumented` sentinel as a sentinel, not as malformed

Surfaced by the orthogonal review of this change. `negotiateHostCapabilities`
emits a sentinel-specific warning for every dispatch sub-axis carrying the
documented `undocumented` value — namedDispatch, nested, background,
subagentToolkit, backgroundDispatch, isolation — except `maxDepth`, which fell
through to the numeric guard and reported `host dispatch.maxDepth is missing or
not a number — treating as 0`.

That message is indistinguishable from a genuinely malformed descriptor, so a
correctly fail-closed descriptor reads as broken. Six shipped runtimes carry the
sentinel here (antigravity, augment, opencode, trae, windsurf, zcode) and this
PR's kimi-code correction adds a seventh, which is why it is fixed here rather
than left in place.

The numeric guard keeps firing for genuinely malformed values; both paths still
degrade `effective.dispatch.maxDepth` closed to 0. Covered by three tests,
including the boundary case that the sentinel carve-out must not swallow a real
malformed value.

a3853472de fix(#2598): declare OpenCode subagent dispatch synchronous, not background (#2682)
* fix(#2598): declare OpenCode subagent dispatch synchronous, not background

capabilities/opencode/capability.json advertised dispatch.background: true and
dispatch.backgroundDispatch: true. negotiateHostCapabilities and every
degradationFor / shouldFlattenDispatch consumer trusts these per-field values, so
declaring a capability the host lacks OVERSTATES it — the opposite of the
fail-closed posture the negotiation is built for.

The issue's own citations needed checking before acting: the host-integration
matrix (ADR-1239's designated deployment source-of-truth) documented `true` with
NEWER evidence than the issue cited, and explicitly marked the issue's
sst/opencode#5887 reference as a stale snapshot superseded by #2087. git log
confirms #2087 deliberately flipped these from false to true, citing OpenCode
v1.15.0/v1.17 as "background subagents enabled by default in all modes". Applying
the issue as filed would, on that evidence, have REGRESSED a deliberate update.

So the claim was verified against current upstream rather than either document.
`packages/opencode/src/effect/runtime-flags.ts` on `dev` today reads:

    experimentalBackgroundSubagents: enabledByExperimental("OPENCODE_EXPERIMENTAL_BACKGROUND_SUBAGENTS")

`enabledByExperimental` falls back to the `experimental` flag and `bool()`
defaults to false — the parameter is hidden from the model unless an operator
opts in by env var. Upstream #29638 is still OPEN and confirms the session loop
`tasks.pop()`s one subtask at a time. #2087's "default-on in all modes" reading
does not hold against current dev.

The issue's CONCLUSION is therefore right even though part of its evidence was
superseded: concurrent dispatch cannot be relied on, so both fields are false.

The matrix rows are corrected with the verified citation rather than reverted to
the old #5887 quote, so the record shows why the value is false TODAY rather than
re-asserting evidence that was legitimately superseded. Neighbouring sub-fields
are untouched and pinned by test: namedDispatch, subagentToolkit, and
isolation:'orchestrator-worktree' (which works via `opencode run --dir` at the OS
process level and is unaffected — #2584 does not depend on this value either way).

* fix(#2598): re-pin the dispatch contract tests to synchronous OpenCode dispatch

gsd-test on the descriptor change came back FAILED (5 unique, both node
versions). The failures were not incidental — they were deliberate contract-pin
tests encoding #2087's decision, one named literally "background UPGRADE":

  tests/host-integration-descriptors.test.cjs
    - EXPECTED_FLATTEN[opencode] === false (background-eligible)
    - the derived background-eligible set pin
  tests/opencode-imperative-reference.test.cjs
    - "descriptor declares background dispatch true/true (v1.15/v1.17 upgrade)"
    - "background UPGRADE changes shouldFlattenDispatch: false now"

So this is a recorded decision being reversed, not drift being corrected, and it
is reversed on evidence: current upstream `dev` gates the capability behind
OPENCODE_EXPERIMENTAL_BACKGROUND_SUBAGENTS (default false) and upstream #29638
(OPEN) confirms the session loop still handles one subtask at a time. The issue
is filed by the maintainer and explicitly directs "update golden-parity /
validator fixtures as needed", which sanctions re-pinning.

Behavioral consequence, verified: shouldFlattenDispatch(opencode) now returns
TRUE, so GSD serializes opencode dispatch instead of trusting concurrency it
cannot get. That is the correct fail-closed direction and is safe today — no
shipped GSD flow drives OpenCode background waves (per the issue), and
isolation:'orchestrator-worktree' is unaffected because it works at the OS
process level via `opencode run --dir`, not via the native subagent.

Each re-pinned test now asserts the retracted contract in the opposite
direction — feeding the #2087 axes back in must still yield "would not flatten" —
so a silent re-flip of either field is caught rather than merely un-asserted.

lint:ci exit 0.

0d08c32048 fix(#2590): emit Workflow scripts the Workflow tool accepts; make the backend reachable (#2681)
* fix(#2590): emit Workflow scripts the Workflow tool accepts; make the backend reachable

Every emitted script was rejected. Four invalid constructs, the first fatal on
its own, so the Workflow backend could never dispatch a wave:

  1. no `export const meta = {…}` first statement -> whole script rejected
  2. resumeFromRunId("<id>")  -> "resumeFromRunId is not defined". It is a
     Workflow TOOL INPUT parameter, not a script function. The run id still
     reaches the caller via summary.resumeRunId, to pass as that input.
  3. budget(<n>)              -> "budget is not a function". `budget` is a
     read-only object { total, spent(), remaining() } fed by the caller's token
     directive; a script cannot set it. Recorded as intent in a comment.
  4. parallel(agent(…), agent(…)) -> "parallel() expects an array of functions".
     Now parallel([() => agent(…), …]) — passing agent() results directly also
     started every agent eagerly, before parallel() could bound concurrency.

The single-plan stage had its own branch with the same parallel() defect; both
branches are now one array-emitting path. Waves also emit phase() calls whose
titles match meta.phases exactly, so progress groups correctly.

Two secondary defects kept the script from ever being REACHED — which is why
this shipped undetected:

  5. NOTHING resolved the Agent SDK version. The fragment claimed there was "no
     scriptable way" to introspect it and told callers to omit the flag, so
     gate 5 returned agent_sdk_version_unknown on every automated run while
     `capability state` still reported active:true. True for bash, false for
     Node: the router now reads the installed @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk
     version, walking node_modules up the tree and reading package.json
     directly — require.resolve throws ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED because the
     SDK's exports map does not expose ./package.json. Precedence: explicit flag
     > GSD_AGENT_SDK_VERSION > installed. Fail-closed is preserved; an
     unresolvable version still declines to inline. A too-old SDK now reports
     the truthful agent_sdk_version_below_floor instead of unknown.
  6. The runtime fallback was `--runtime > GSD_RUNTIME > 'unknown'`, diverging
     from the canonical `GSD_RUNTIME > config.runtime > 'claude'`, so any
     invocation without --runtime reported runtime_not_claude on an ordinary
     Claude project. Now delegates to runtime-slash.resolveRuntime.

The fragment's `${AGENT_SDK_VERSION:+--agent-sdk-version "$AGENT_SDK_VERSION"}`
snippet is removed rather than repaired: it was also shell-dependent — zsh does
not word-split unquoted parameter expansions, so it collapsed to a single argv
element, argValue() never matched, and the run failed into the same
agent_sdk_version_unknown, indistinguishable from genuinely unknown. Auto-
resolution removes the need for the construct entirely.

Verified with the issue's own repro: no flags now reaches the version gate; an
SDK above the floor yields backend:"workflow" with a script that parses as a
real ES module.

already RED because of it. The registry embeds the fragment text INLINE, so the
shipped/installed copy still taught the exact broken contract this PR fixes:
the old `${AGENT_SDK_VERSION:+…}` bash line and the "OMIT the flag when unknown"
guidance. Regenerated. (I had read `lint:ci` by grepping its output instead of
checking its exit code, so I recorded a red chain as green — checking $? now.)

HIGH — three existing tests asserted the OLD broken shape and would have failed
CI; none was touched by the first commit:
  tests/fix-2285-claude-orchestration-wiring.test.cjs — matched resumeFromRunId("…")
  tests/claude-orchestration.test.cjs                 — .includes('budget(')
  tests/claude-orchestration-command-router.test.cjs  — .includes('budget(')
Each now asserts the corrected contract: the id/pool reaches the caller via
summary, and neither construct is ever CALLED. Two sibling assertions had also
gone vacuous — `.includes('resumeFromRunId')` still passed, but only because the
new explanatory COMMENT contains that substring, not because anything is wired.
Rewritten to assert the real property.

MEDIUM — duplicate wave ids were never rejected. Plan-id uniqueness was checked
within a wave, but nothing checked wave ids across waves. That was harmless
before; it is not now, because each wave emits a `phase("Wave <id>")` call plus a
matching meta.phases entry and the tool matches titles by exact string — two
waves sharing an id would collapse into one progress group and misattribute the
second wave's agents to the first. Rejected at validation, with tests either
side of the boundary.

MEDIUM — the fragment contradicted itself (its "Manifest construction" header
still listed $AGENT_SDK_VERSION as orchestrator-built) and, more seriously, never
told the orchestrator to pass summary.resumeRunId as the Workflow tool's
resumeFromRunId INPUT. Since this PR moves resume from a broken in-script call to
a tool-invocation input, an implementer following only the fragment would have
silently regressed phase-resume to a no-op. Both fixed.

MEDIUM — docs/how-to/enable-claude-orchestration-workflow-backend.md and
docs/explanation/claude-orchestration-capability.md documented
`resumeFromRunId("<id>")` and `budget(<tokens>)` as current correct output —
teaching the bug as the feature. Updated to the real contract, including the
required meta block and the thunk-array parallel() form. (The changeset is
`Fixed`, so the docs gate exempts this; it is corrected because it is wrong,
not because a gate demanded it.)

LOW — the router's top-of-file comment still described the divergent
`--runtime > GSD_RUNTIME > 'unknown'` chain as current, ninety lines above the
fix; and inserting resolveInstalledAgentSdkVersion had orphaned
resolveDetectionArgs' JSDoc above the wrong function. Both repaired.

lint:ci now exits 0 (verified by exit code, not by reading output).

c87f6f358e enhance(#1854): offer restore for user-added files backed up on update (#2679)
* test(#1854): failing-first coverage for user-files-backup restore

* feat(#1854): offer restore for user-added files backed up on update

Adds a restore-custom-files gsd-tools verb and wires it into update.md as a
restore_custom_files step: plan, compatibility-check against the newly
installed release, then restore only on explicit opt-in. The backup is never
deleted, a shipped path is never overwritten, and a single unwritable entry
does not abort the rest.

Also drops the jq pipe from update-context field extraction (#2589 class,
missed by that sweep) and repairs a broken code fence in docs/CLI-TOOLS.md.

* fix(#1854): reject symlinked restore destinations and backup roots

Self-review of the restore path found two write-through holes: copyFileSync
follows a symlinked destination, so a link planted at the restore target wrote
outside the config dir with every ancestor still a real directory; and statSync
on the backup root followed a link, letting the walk read arbitrary files and
present them as the user's own backup. Both now lstat.

Also marks the report's path/detail strings as untrusted data in update.md so
the rendered step cannot carry instructions into the runtime model.

* test(#1854): move the update-context jq guard into the #2589 sweep

update.md joins the AUDITED list rather than carrying a duplicate assertion in
the backup-restore suite, and the guard gains a negative-proof companion so
'no jq pipe' cannot pass by the fields simply no longer being read.

* fix(#1854): validate manifest files map shape before trusting it

Security review flagged that Object.keys on a non-plain-object files field
yields numeric-index keys matching nothing, so the managed-path check dies
silently while manifest_found still reports true. Shape, not just type
(ADR-227): an array or scalar files map is now an unusable manifest.

* fix(#1854): size the restore prompt by eligible_count

Spec review found the prompt was driven by entries.length, so a backup holding
only blocked entries asked "Restore 1 file(s)?" when accepting would restore
zero. The question now reads eligible_count, and an all-blocked backup reports
its reasons instead of offering a choice that cannot be honored. The decline
path names the resolved backup_dir rather than the bare directory name.

* test(#1854): use t.skip on hosts without symlink support

A bare return in a node:test body registers as a PASS, so the four symlink
guards silently reported green on unprivileged Windows instead of skipping.
Adds the dangling-link destination case the security review called out, and
moves outside-dir teardown to t.after so a failing assert cannot leak it.

* fix(#1854): unfence restore hint, regen goldens, widen install timeout

Three gate failures from the c99d612a5 run, all root-caused:

1. capability-registry (3): update.md's decline message put an instructional
   'gsd-tools ...' line in an UNTAGGED fence, and the guard treats untagged
   fences as shell blocks. Retagged both display blocks as text and switched
   the hint to the resolved 'node <config-dir>/.../gsd-tools.cjs' form users
   can actually paste.

2. golden-install-parity (19): update.md and gsd-tools.cjs ship, so every
   runtime fixture moved. Regenerated; the diff is exactly those two hashes
   per fixture, no other drift.

3. install.test.cjs (5): one real failure, four cascades. The Cursor suite's
   before hook died on 'spawnSync ETIMEDOUT' at the 60s cap while the node22
   lane passed the SAME commit in 12.7s. A full install measures 13-30s idle,
   so 60s was under 2x headroom and shrinks with every file added to the
   payload. Raised to 120s, matching the heavy case already in this file.

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.
