bcefffc132 fix(#3578): derive milestone status from phase counters, not phase-completion prose (#3614)
* test(3578): failing-first coverage for milestone status on partial completion

Completing phase 2 of a 4-phase milestone sets frontmatter status: completed while
the same call correctly writes completed_phases: 2 / total_phases: 4. These tests
fail on that conflation and pin the boundary either side of it (3-of-4 must not
complete, 4-of-4 must), plus milestone_name byte-identity and the 1-of-1 case that
legitimately does complete.

* fix(3578): derive milestone status from phase counters, not phase-completion prose

RED proven at 253843b4 (tests-only): the 2-of-4 and 3-of-4 cases failed while the
4-of-4, milestone_name and 1-of-1 controls passed — the conflation, and nothing else.

state complete-phase writes body prose `Phase N complete`. normalizeStateStatus
matches 'complete' as a case-insensitive SUBSTRING, so phase-level prose collapsed
into milestone-level frontmatter status: completed — even while the same call
correctly derived completed_phases: 2 / total_phases: 4 / percent: 50.

Check ORDER is why the sibling surface stays correct: completePhaseCore writes
'Ready to plan' for non-final phases, hitting the 'planning' arm before 'complete'.
The two phase-completion surfaces disagreed and this was the conflated one — a
violation of ADR-2207, which gives milestone termination solely to
milestoneCompleteCore.

buildStateFrontmatter now honors a 'completed' normalization from phase-completion
prose only when the counters it already derived agree. Scoped deliberately:

- anchored to bare `Phase <token> complete`, so 'All phases complete' and
  '<version> milestone complete' are untouched (both out of scope). Verified by
  executing the guard's own regex from source against both forms.
- gated on counter trustworthiness (COMPLETE disk scope, finite counts, positive
  denominator) so an unknown scope withholds rather than guessing 'not complete',
  which would be the mirror-image bug
- normalizeStateStatus itself is NOT modified — it feeds every state.* write and
  the read path

A 1-of-1 milestone still yields 'completed' by the rule, not by exemption, so the
#1255 pinning test stays green on its merits.

Fixes #3578

* fix(3578): gate the guard on milestone boundedness and close the review gaps

Review findings from two orthogonal passes, all fixed inline.

GUARD (correctness, from the standards pass): the guard omitted `milestoneUnbounded`,
which is the established trust authority for these very counters in this same function
— it nulls progressPercent at :2286 and gates the prose fallback at :2294. An unbounded
milestone yields a conflated/understated total, so `completedPhases < totalPhases` could
be an artifact of a bad denominator and demote a genuinely-complete milestone. Now gated.

TESTS:
- Prose/guard parity assertion. The guard regex-matches prose emitted from a DIFFERENT
  file; if that prose drifts the guard silently stops firing and the bug returns
  undetected. Per the repo's generative-fix-divergence rule, a test now asserts the
  emitted body Status still matches the guard's pattern — asserting the emitted value
  against the pattern rather than duplicating the string.
- limit+1: completedPhases > totalPhases must NOT fire; inconsistent counters fall
  through rather than guessing.
- Untrustworthy counters (no phases dir → totalPhases null) must NOT fire.
- AC4: MCP invoke-command dispatch parity via handleMessage, the criterion both
  reviewers independently flagged as asserted-but-untested.
- Hand-rolled STATE.md writes routed through the existing writeState fixture helper.

The adversarial pass independently verified, by reading rather than trusting the diff's
own comments, that: paused/stopped short-circuit before 'completed' so a paused milestone
can never be clobbered; only cmdStateCompletePhase emits the targeted prose, so no
sibling caller over-fires; the counters come from a fresh disk scan independent of this
write, so there is no pre/post off-by-one; and the #1255 pinning fixture creates no
phases dir, leaving completedPhases null and the guard inert — so that test is provably
unaffected rather than assumed to be.

b08af152e4 fix(#3573): keep the stored total_phases when the roadmap is absent at state-write time (#3595)
* test(#3573): pin stored-total retention when the roadmap is absent at state-write time

Failing-first regression for #3573: with ROADMAP.md absent and a milestone
asserted, every state.* write persisted the phase-directory count as
progress.total_phases (5 -> 1 in the issue) — only STARTED phases count,
quietly defeating #549's single source of truth. Rows pin the stored-value
outcome + stderr warning across record-session and begin-phase, the
fresh-project doctrine (no milestone asserted -> dir count stays), and the
roadmap-present control.

* fix(#3573): keep the stored total_phases when the roadmap is absent at state-write time

The #3354 withhold covered milestoned-but-unbounded roadmaps but not the
roadmap-absent shape: with ROADMAP.md unreadable the #549 heading counter
never runs, milestoneBounded is vacuously true, and every state.* write
persisted the phase-directory count as progress.total_phases — counting
only STARTED phases (5 -> 1 in the issue). When the STATE asserts a
milestone (storedMilestone), the stored frontmatter total now wins and a
(#3353)-style stderr warning names the condition; with no asserted
milestone the disk count stays authoritative (fresh-project doctrine).

* fix(#3573): thread stored milestone into the state json read for write/read parity; discriminate the doctrine row; pin planned-phase

Review findings: cmdStateJson passed storedMilestone=undefined so the new
withhold never fired on the read surface — state json reported the dir
count while the persisted file preserved the stored total (exactly the
divergence #3354 closed for its shape). The fresh-project doctrine row now
uses stored 5 vs dirs 2 so a milestone-gate-less withhold mutant cannot
survive it; the third issue-named verb (planned-phase) is pinned.

d922469613 refactor(#3408): close the two known limits instead of recording them (#3524)
* refactor(#3408): close the two known limits instead of recording them

Both of these were flagged in review and written down as 'known limits' in a
PR body and an issue comment. CLAUDE.md is explicit that a note is not a fix
and is not surfacing — it is a silent defer. Recording them while closing the
epic was the pattern this epic exists to remove, performed on the epic itself.

syncAndPreserveStateMd and applyPostSyncPreservation each took eight
positional arguments, the last three optional, one of them an out-param. The
review's own wording was that 'a third consumer should trigger an
options-object refactor' — a deferral with a trigger condition nobody would
notice firing. Content and path stay positional; resync, authoritativeFm,
deriveProgressKeys and divergedFields move into a named
StatePreservationOptions. Every call site updated, with tsc as the proof none
was missed.

cmdStateCompletePhase's updated array carried both field labels and a section
name, worked around by a SECTION_ENTRIES Set that re-derived the distinction
by string matching. The kinds are now typed where they are produced and
flattened once at output.

Output contract unchanged: updated is still a flat string array with the same
entries in the same order.

Behavior-preservation was proven rather than asserted — the compiled lib was
built at 411196bc3 and post-fix, and the same fixtures run through each. Both
byte-identical, modulo the clock-driven last_updated.

* fix(#3408): update every non-typed call site, and make a wrong options call loud

The previous commit claimed 'tsc is the proof a site was not missed'. That was
wrong and I asserted it. tsc type-checks src/ only; the test call sites are
plain .cjs and are not checked at all. Fourteen tests failed with
divergedFields: [] because a positional resync boolean landed in the options
slot and every option came through undefined.

Nine stale call sites converted. Also caught: the drift guard suite's E2
fixture embedded the old call shape 'verbatim from src/milestone.cts' — a
fixture that mirrors production and had silently drifted from it.

The deeper defect is that the refactor itself introduced the failure shape
this epic exists to remove. An options-object parameter is silently
mis-consumable by any non-TypeScript caller: pass the wrong thing and the
function proceeds with every option undefined, returning a well-formed,
plausible, empty result. That is precisely ADR-3408's Context section,
reintroduced by the change meant to tidy the code up.

Both functions now assert their options argument is a non-null object and
throw STATE_PRESERVATION_OPTIONS_INVALID carrying the offending type, mirroring
throwUnwiredRow. A test pins that the guard fires on the exact mistake that
produced these fourteen failures.

Verified by probe rather than asserted: a correct options call returns the
expected divergedFields; a legacy positional call throws with the structured
code instead of silently returning empty.

* chore(#3408): drop the changeset — this PR has no user-facing impact

CONTRIBUTING.md: 'PRs with no user-facing impact (test refactors, lint config
changes, CI tweaks, formatting-only changes) can add the no-changelog label.'

Typing this Changed and then exempting it from the docs requirement would have
been wrong twice: it publishes a CHANGELOG entry under Changed when no command
output moves, and it uses a per-fragment exemption to paper over a type that
was wrong to begin with.

Both refactors are behavior-preserving, verified byte-identical against the
pre-change compiled lib. The one new throw guards a module-private seam in
src/state.cts that no external caller can reach.

* refactor(#3408): derive StatePreservationOptions, narrow the guard message

Two findings from the orthogonal reviews on the close-known-limits PR.

StatePreservationOptions repeated all four ReadModifyWriteOptions fields, differing only in resync being required, and divergedFields carried a second independently-worded docstring. It is now derived via Omit so the shared fields have one definition and cannot drift out of hand-sync.

assertStatePreservationOptions echoed JSON.stringify(options) into the thrown message text. The contract for that guard is a structured code plus the offending type, not the value; echoing the value would become a disclosure path if a caller ever passed user-derived data. Removed from the message; err.code and err.receivedType are unchanged, and the test asserts on those.

1b027298dc fix(#3481): resolve add-roadmap-evolution's phase from STATE.md, not a literal ? (#3522)
* fix(#3481): resolve add-roadmap-evolution's phase from STATE.md, not a literal `?`

`state add-roadmap-evolution` built its entry from the raw `--phase` flag
alone, so omitting the flag persisted `- Phase ?` even when STATE.md's own
frontmatter carried `current_phase` above the insertion point — the #3231
defect at a second call site. Roadmap-evolution entries are the permanent
trail explaining why the roadmap changed shape; `Phase ?` makes that trail
unattributable, and the command is mostly invoked from agents that do not
know to pass `--phase`.

The #3481 triage confirmed the #3231 sibling site (`add-decision`) was also
still unfixed on next — both PRs that attempted it (#3232, #3347) were closed
unmerged. This applies the #3347 treatment to both call sites:

- Extracts the write-path phase-resolution ladder `cmdStatePrune` already
  ran — frontmatter `current_phase` → body `Current Phase` field → prose
  `Phase: X of Y` scoped to `## Current Position` — into a shared
  `resolveCurrentPhaseId`, and routes `cmdStateAddRoadmapEvolution`,
  `cmdStateAddDecision`, and `cmdStatePrune` through it.
- Deliberately NOT routed through `resolveStatePhase` (#3208): its
  `matchCurrentPositionSection(body) ?? body` fallback widens the prose rung
  to the whole document when no `## Current Position` section exists, where
  the pipe-table fallback matches any historical `| Phase | N |` row (#1776).
  Read-path callers (snapshot/validate) report to a human; write-path callers
  persist durably, so they take the strict rung and render `?` instead of
  guessing.
- The resolved id is returned as written, never parsed to a number (`11-01`
  and `04.1` are real ids). Prune still parses its own integer cutoff, so its
  behavior is byte-identical.
- Explicit `--phase` still wins and its path is untouched — STATE.md is not
  even read. When no rung resolves, `?` is still written.

Tests: per-call-site coverage for both commands — omitted `--phase` resolves
(including a non-integer prose id), explicit `--phase` wins, and two
counter-tests pinning the degraded verdict (nothing resolvable → `?`, and a
historical `| Phase | 7 |` table row must NOT be adopted). Plus a static
guard sweeping src/*.cts for the raw `phase || '?'` placeholder shape so a
future call site cannot reintroduce the class.

411196bc3a refactor(#3471): one enforcement point for the empty case, and reports that match the disk (#3519)
* refactor(#3471): one enforcement point for the empty case, and reports that match the disk

Implements ADR-3408 section 8.5 and section 8.4's residue (folded in when Phase
3 closed as subsumed). Four items, and two findings the design did not predict.

FINDING 1 — the guards could not simply be deleted, as the design instructed.
state sync and REGENERATE_STATE never run applyStatePreservation at all, so
those six conditions were their ONLY empty-field fallback. A baseline probe on
the unedited tree confirmed unconditional deletion drops current_phase,
current_phase_name, current_plan, stopped_at and paused_at from a blank-body
STATE.md on state sync — breaking the byte-identical requirement section 8.3
grants those two sanctioned-permanent exceptions. They are now GATED, not
deleted: on for the exceptions, off for the write seam, where an empty derived
value finally reaches the executor unmolested.

FINDING 2, the more serious one — there was a FOURTH encoding of this policy.
The pre-existing #2202 unknown-key carry-forward loop independently restored
the same six fields whenever derivedFm lacked the key, completely neutralizing
the fix. It is named nowhere in the ADR, the design, or three prior phases. It
was found only because a probe that should have passed did not: the first
attempt reported divergedFields: [] and silently restored both fields,
reproducing the exact bug this phase exists to close.

That is worth stating plainly. This epic's thesis is 'policy declared in one
table, enforcement hand-rolled per call site.' The final phase found one more
call site than anyone had counted — which is the fourth consecutive time a copy
count in this epic proved to be a lower bound.

Also: divergedFields could only observe fields the executor actively RESTORED,
by diffing postFm. A discard-to-empty is absent both before and after, so it
was invisible. A second pass now reports it, which is what makes section 8.5's
'preservation is visible' true for the delete-the-body-line case rather than
aspirational.

cmdPhaseComplete now reports what it preserved — #3374 was filed against that
command and its complaint was warnings: [], silence.

cmdStateJson's private third copy of the guards is routed onto the executor's
preserve-when-unchanged rule. A read is definitionally not a write, so the
#1230 delta is 'unchanged' and curated wins over a stale annotation.
shouldPreserveExistingProgress is a different rule and is untouched.

Report reconciliation is ONE shared helper across seven commands, not five
copies of fix(#3351)'s block. Five copies of a reconciliation is precisely the
shape this epic removes, and introducing it in the final phase would have been
a poor joke. Both untraced commands were traced rather than assumed:
cmdStatePlannedPhase matched cmdStateBeginPhase exactly; cmdStateCompletePhase
turned out to be a different legacy hand-rolled path reporting a mix of field
names AND a section name, where the naive helper would have dropped 'Current
Position' as a false negative every time.

* test(#3471): characterization coverage for one enforcement point and reconciled reports

Matrix sections A-E, asserted at the consumer's output per ADR-3180 Decision
4(b)/(c) — this phase owes Decision 5's outcome metric, the one the drift
guard's zero may never be reported without.

Three walls matter more than the new coverage:

  A2 is SIX separately named tests, one per gated guard, not one parameterised
  assertion over a list. A list is trivially shortened later; six named tests
  are not, and six guards is exactly where a field gets silently dropped.

  A6 pins what Phases 1-3 already fixed — non-empty stale body, delta
  unchanged, losing to fresher curated frontmatter, with the divergence
  reported. If A6 reddens, this phase broke the thing the epic was for.

  D1/D2 pin state sync byte-identical. The implementation had to GATE the six
  guards rather than delete them precisely because state sync has no executor,
  and a baseline probe showed unconditional deletion drops five fields.
  Nothing else in the suite would notice that regression.

E6 covers #3345's direction — a field preservation restored that the intent
never named IS reported. Nothing has ever tested that direction.

Assertions were empirically verified against the compiled lib and the real CLI
before being written, since the suite cannot be executed locally. That caught
two type bugs in the draft: fm.current_phase after a quoted-YAML round-trip is
the string '5', not the number 5.

E5 is recorded as structurally unreachable rather than weakened or faked. Those
four commands report body Title-Case labels, which cannot string-collide with a
frontmatter snake_case key the way cmdStatePatch's arbitrary field names can —
which is why fix(#3351) targeted only cmdStatePatch. Testing it directly would
need reconcileReportedFields exported from private scope; the helper is
exercised through E6 and all seven commands instead.

* docs(#3471): amend ADR-3408 section 8.5 — a fourth enforcement point, and guards that could not be deleted

Amendment 3. The contract held; two of section 8.5's own statements did not.

It said the six empty-only guards are DELETED. They cannot be. writeStateMd is
the sole path for both section 8.3 sanctioned-permanent exceptions and never
runs applyStatePreservation, so those guards were their only empty-field
fallback. A baseline probe on the unedited tree confirmed unconditional
deletion drops five fields from a blank-body STATE.md on state sync, breaking
the byte-identical guarantee section 8.3 grants it. They are gated instead.

It also mis-located cmdStateJson's guards, describing them as living in
syncStateFrontmatter. They were a separate private copy on the read path with
no delta check at all, so a stale body annotation always beat fresher curated
frontmatter in state.json — #3395's shape entirely outside the write seam.

THE FINDING: a fourth enforcement point nobody had counted. The pre-existing
#2202 unknown-key carry-forward loop independently restored the same six
fields, silently neutralizing the fix. It is named nowhere in this ADR, in the
phase design, or in three prior phases, and was found only because a probe that
should have passed did not.

Fourth consecutive time a copy count in this epic proved a lower bound: 2
write-seam bypasses became 4, three preservation encodings became four, and the
estimate was wrong every time. ADR-3180's standing rule has earned itself in
every phase — read the code, not the write-up.

Records the Row 2 decision (a discard-to-empty wins per the delta rule and is
reported, not silent — the sharpest Hyrum exposure in the epic), section 8.4's
residue landing as ONE shared reconcileReportedFields across seven commands
rather than five copies, and the parity assertion added because
FRONTMATTER_KEY_TO_BODY_LABEL was itself a second table that failed silently —
this epic's shape in miniature, in its final phase.

* fix(#3471): repair four regressions the checkpoint caught

Checkpoint returned 16 failures of 34389: six real regressions in pre-existing
tests, plus seven of my own test bugs.

My hypothesis was wrong and is recorded as such. I predicted the #2202
carry-forward skip was the cause, reasoning it had removed a load-bearing
fallback the way the six guards nearly were. It was not implicated in any of
the six. Three unrelated causes:

#2111 — current_phase came back undefined from milestone complete, which is
the epic's own defect class reintroduced by its final phase. Root cause is
Row 2 working exactly as designed: milestoneCompleteCore rewrites the body
Phase: line to a closure message, so current_phase's #1230 delta reads
CHANGED and the new rule correctly discards the curated value. The transition
never declared any intent to touch that field. Fixed by re-asserting
current_phase and current_phase_name through authoritativeFm — the existing
#2736 mechanism beginPhaseCore and completePhaseCore already use — rather
than by weakening Row 2, which A5 pins.

That interaction is worth naming: a rule that keys on 'did this write change
the body source' will fire on a transition that moves the body line for an
entirely unrelated reason. The design did not anticipate it.

#1264 / #3242 / the state.patch progress report — reconcileReportedFields
folded EVERY divergedFields entry into updated, including preserve-always
progress restores no caller asked about. Now scoped to preserve-when-unchanged
rows only.

#1162 / case-insensitive table fields — valueOf checked frontmatter before
body, so a lowercase table field name exact-matched the lowercase frontmatter
key sync always derives, comparing stale pre-sync body text against a
post-sync frontmatter enum. Flipped to body-first.

That last one is the SAME lesson as Phase 2's patchCore, recurring in a
different function two phases later: in this model the body is authoritative
and frontmatter is the projection, so a name that could mean either resolves
body-first. Twice now.

Test bugs: a stray unused parameter shifted every argument at six call sites,
so body arrived undefined; and A4 compared nested progress scalars against
numbers when extractFrontmatter returns raw YAML strings. The string-vs-number
YAML round-trip has now been caught three times in this phase alone.

* test(#3471): one helper for the progress coercion that bit four times

A2f failed on the string-vs-number YAML round-trip: extractFrontmatter returns
nested progress scalars as raw YAML strings, so a comparison against numeric
literals can never pass.

This is the FOURTH time this exact class has been caught in this phase — twice
during test authoring, once as A4 in the previous checkpoint, now as A2f.
Patching it a fourth time by hand would guarantee a fifth.

Added numericProgress() with a comment saying why it exists, and routed every
progress-reading assertion in the #3471 block through it. Swept the block:
C3 needed no change, because cmdStateJson's output already runs through
normalizeProgressNumbers.

Deliberately NOT shared with frontmatter.test.cjs's readPersistedProgress:
that one is path-based and re-reads from disk, while these assert on an
in-memory string that is never written. Sharing would have meant either a
disk round-trip these tests do not do, or duplicating half the helper — so
the coercion pattern is mirrored locally and the reason recorded, rather
than manufacturing a dependency to satisfy the letter of consolidation.

e2f4c16d9e refactor(#3469): one composition for the STATE.md write seam (#3501)
* docs(#3469): amend ADR-3408 section 8.3 — the pipeline has sanctioned exceptions

Section 8.3 read 'Every STATE.md write applies the pipeline.' That is false by
design for two commands, and acting on it would have inverted a shipped
feature.

Preservation makes curated frontmatter win over a re-derived body value.
state sync exists to do the opposite — #905's 'body annotation beats existing
frontmatter when both are present'; it re-derives frontmatter FROM the body.
REGENERATE_STATE is a factory reset that rebuilds STATE.md from scratch.
Applying the pipeline to either would re-lock exactly what the command was
invoked to replace.

This issue's own scope line, inherited from the epic, said to route the direct
writeStateMd callers through the pipeline. For cmdStateSync that would have
shipped silently, with every gate green, because no test asserts that sync
LETS the body win. Caught by reading the helper's docstring and then verifying
the claim against the code — a stale comment had already misdirected this epic
once.

Both commands are now named in a closed exception list and are permanent
ratchet entries.

Consequence recorded rather than left to bite Phase 4: the 'drive the ratchet
to 0 and delete the file' target in this ADR and in #3471 is wrong. Two
entries are permanent, so the correct end state is 2, and the honest report is
'0 removable bypasses, 2 sanctioned'. A guard reaching 0 here would only do so
by having stopped looking at two real writers.

* refactor(#3469): one composition for the write seam, not one per caller

Implements ADR-3408 section 8.3 as amended.

syncAndPreserveStateMd is now the single composition of syncStateFrontmatter
and applyPostSyncPreservation. readModifyWriteStateMd and cmdPhaseComplete
both CALL it instead of each assembling the two steps themselves.
cmdPhaseComplete keeps its own writePlanningFileSet envelope — the
composition returns content, it does not take over the write, so STATE.md
still commits atomically with ROADMAP and REQUIREMENTS.

Assembling the stages at a call site is a re-derivation even when every step
calls an owner. Upstream's fix(#3374) routed cmdPhaseComplete through
applyPostSyncPreservation but left it calling syncStateFrontmatter directly
first, so the composition was duplicated and free to diverge with both guards
green. That is ADR-3180 Amendment 2's finding repeating on the write side.

cmdMilestoneComplete gains preservation. It wrote through writeStateMd, so it
got sync and no preservation — the identical shape #3374 reported for
phase.complete, and flagged upstream as a follow-up in the helper's own
docstring. This is that follow-up.

Divergence is now visible: preservation_warnings names each field restored
over a disagreeing derived value. Deliberately NOT named warnings —
cmdPhaseComplete already exposes warnings as a prose string array, and two
sibling commands carrying that name with different element types is
Generative Fix Divergence, the class this epic exists to remove.

patchCore stops running stateReplaceField over the whole document. One
observable consequence, intended per design row 9: a frontmatter-shaped patch
key with no body counterpart now reports failed instead of silently
succeeding, because the old whole-document match was literally hitting the
YAML line case-insensitively.

The guard closes Phase 1's DECLARED KNOWN GAP as promised rather than
re-deferring it: section 8.3(b) detection is tractable now the composition
exists. Scoped by two factors to avoid Phase 1's measured 29-to-1 false
positive rate — a variable field-name argument AND a content argument whose
nearest preceding assignment is not stripFrontmatter. Verified 0 findings and
0 false positives across all 33 call sites, plus 5 synthetic shapes. It also
detects the re-assembly shape above.

Ratchet: 4 entries to 2, both sanctioned-permanent. cmdStateSync's owner
changes from #3471 to sanctioned-permanent per Amendment 2 — routing it
through preservation would invert the #905 contract.

Also fixed inline rather than deferred: cmdMilestoneComplete's STATE.md read
now happens inside withStateLock. It previously read outside any lock before
writeStateMd took its own, leaving a TOCTOU window under concurrent writers.

* test(#3469): characterization coverage for the single write seam

Matrix sections A-E. Criterion 6 was amended by maintainer decision — all five
instances closed by point fixes while Phase 1 was in flight — so these are
characterization tests at the consumer's output per ADR-3180 Decision 4(b)/(c),
paired with the drift guard's count, never either alone.

Section C is the one that earns its keep. cmdStateSync is a sanctioned
permanent exception: state sync exists to re-derive frontmatter FROM the body,
so preservation there re-locks exactly what the command was invoked to
replace. C1 pins that the body wins; C4 pins that this phase left the command
byte-identical. Nothing else in the suite would notice if a future change made
sync start preserving, and the natural reading of 'one write seam' is to make
precisely that change.

Section E pins the guard's false-positive scoping. E4 (updateCore's
strip-then-replace) and E5 (sectionBody-scoped calls) must NOT be reported —
the naive detector measured 29 false positives to 1 true positive in Phase 1.
E7 is the inverse: a sanctioned-permanent entry disappearing must FAIL,
because a guard reaching zero here would only do so by having stopped looking
at two real writers.

Also corrects a stale test that asserted patchCore's old whole-document
behavior, which this phase deliberately changes.

One honest limitation, flagged rather than papered over: A1's 'byte-identical
to pre-refactor' cannot be diffed against real pre-refactor bytes from inside
the suite. It is implemented as the seeded fast-check property that
cmdPhaseComplete's composed output equals readModifyWriteStateMd's for the
same inputs — the strongest available proxy, not the literal claim.

* docs(#3469): refresh the seam glossary entry and add the changeset

Two spec-review gaps, both real.

CONTEXT.md's STATE.md Transition Module entry named three direct writeStateMd
callers including cmdMilestoneComplete. This phase routed that one through the
composition, so the line was false the moment the refactor landed.

Worth recording plainly: I wrote that sentence in Phase 0, correcting an
older stale pointer in it, and my own Phase 2 change invalidated it again
within the same epic. That is the exact drift this epic exists to remove,
demonstrated on the epic's own documentation — and it is why the entry now
ends by saying the whole-repo drift guard, not this line, is the authoritative
count.

The entry now records the composition (syncAndPreserveStateMd) and states that
exactly two direct callers remain, both SANCTIONED PERMANENT rather than debt.

Changeset: type Changed, because milestone complete's observable output moves.
Tier-2 per ADR-3180 Decision 3 — a stale body line no longer wins over fresher
frontmatter, and the command gains preservation_warnings. Docs requirement is
met by the ADR amendment already in this diff.

* test(#3469): register property-test temp-dir cleanup at creation time

Standards review, minor but real: the new fast-check property cleaned up its
temp dirs in a loop AFTER fc.assert returned. A genuine property failure
throws, so that line never ran and every dir from the failing run — including
all of fast-check's shrinking iterations — leaked.

The failure path is exactly when a littered machine hurts most, and a failing
property test is the case the test exists for.

Cleanup is now registered with t.after() at dir-creation time, so teardown
happens however the test exits. Not try/finally — CONTRIBUTING.md:356 bans it
inside test bodies, which is why the after-the-assertion shape existed in the
first place.

Swept the rest of the branch's test diff for the same shape; phase.test.cjs
already uses registered teardown and nothing else matched.

* fix(#3469): patchCore routes frontmatter writes instead of dropping them

Checkpoint returned 10 failures of 33880. One implementation defect, three
test defects, one stale test — all fixed, and the implementation defect is the
one that matters.

patchCore stripped frontmatter and then reconstructed it VERBATIM, applying no
patches to it. An arbitrary custom frontmatter key with no body counterpart and
no FIELD_CLASSIFICATION row — risk_level in the upstream fix(#3351) test —
therefore always reported failed and silently never wrote. It worked before,
via the old whole-document match on the raw YAML line.

That is a regression against this phase's own design row 9, which requires
frontmatter changes to ROUTE THROUGH the seam — still work, policy-governed —
not to stop working. Removing a capability is not routing it. An upstream test
caught it, which is the argument for running the checkpoint before believing
the refactor.

patchCore now partitions by frontmatter shape, decided structurally from the
parsed frontmatter's own keys rather than a naming heuristic:
  - classified keys still report failed — policy owns them and a raw patch may
    not bypass it;
  - unclassified keys apply to the frontmatter object and report updated —
    Phase 1's behavior-table row 19, a field with no row is not this contract's
    business;
  - body-shaped keys are unchanged.

The property 'failure' was my own test breaking the repo's Clock Seams rule.
The two paths agree byte-for-byte; the only difference was last_updated,
stamped from the wall clock on two invocations milliseconds apart, so it could
never pass. Time is now frozen with mock.timers across both — not by excluding
last_updated from the comparison, which would have silently stopped comparing
a field the composition writes.

B4's fixture could not discriminate: normalizeStateStatus maps any text
containing 'complete' to 'completed', and milestone complete's own new body
value derives to exactly that — which was also the fixture's stale value. The
stale value is now 'executing' so the assertion can tell 'body correctly won'
from 'stale survived'.

B5's fixture tripped a pre-existing unstarted-phase guard before reaching any
write-seam code; it now has the matching phase directory.

D9 asserted the old exempt set. readModifyWriteStateMd now calls one symbol
rather than assembling two, so it needs no exemption; syncAndPreserveStateMd
is the sole legitimate composition site.

* fix(#3469): patchCore resolves body-first, so the body wins a name collision

Re-verification returned 2 failures of 33880, both D4 — the hostile row for a
key that exists as BOTH a frontmatter key and a body field.

The partition checked frontmatter first, so 'status' — classified in
FIELD_CLASSIFICATION and also present as a body 'Status:' line — routed to the
frontmatter branch, was rejected as classified, and reported failed.

Wrong order. Patching 'status' means the body field, and upstream fix(#3351)
says so in its own comment: 'the legitimate working case for state.patch is
display-cased BODY fields — Status, Current Plan, Phase.' The body is
authoritative in this model; frontmatter is the projection. D4 asserted
exactly that and was right.

Resolution order is now body, then frontmatter:
  1. resolves to a body field -> apply to body, updated
  2. else an own key of the frontmatter:
       classified   -> failed  (policy owns it)
       unclassified -> apply to frontmatter, updated
  3. else -> failed

Verified by probe against the compiled lib for all four cases rather than
asserted: risk_level (frontmatter-only, unclassified) still lands;
current_phase still fails; display-cased Status unchanged; D4's lower-cased
status now lands via the body with the frontmatter untouched.

The current_phase case was the one that could have regressed silently, so its
fixture was read rather than assumed — D1's body carries 'Phase: 3 (alpha)'
and no 'Current Phase:' line, so body-first cannot reach it.

1218d76d62 refactor(#3468): dispatch state preservation on the declared policy, not the field (#3495)
* test(#3468): add write-path drift guard, ratcheted at its measured baseline

Guard-first, per ADR-3180 Amendment 3's standing rule that a phase builds
and runs its guard BEFORE its scope is fixed, and states its copy count as
'N found by the guard', never 'N per the epic'.

Measured, not assumed:

  Axis 1 (policy dispatch, ADR-3408 section 8.1) — 7 violations, RED by
  design. 5 field-name-keyed getFieldClassification('literal') branches
  plus 2 declared FieldPreservation members with no executor at all
  (derive, clear). This is the fail-first evidence for the refactor.

  Axis 2 (write seam, section 8.3) — 4 bypasses, ratcheted. Epic #3408
  scoped this at two writers; the whole-repo scan found four, and one the
  epic named (patchCore) is not among them because it bypasses via
  stateReplaceField rather than the seam calls. Fourth consecutive time an
  epic's copy count proved a lower bound.

Two detectors were written and removed again before this commit, both
recorded in the file header rather than silently dropped:

  - A prompt-layer detector that reported 5 backticked prose mentions as
    drift. That is ADR-3180 Amendment 3's recorded false-positive class,
    and CONTRIBUTING.md already settles it: a backticked command reference
    is a mention. Now gated on inline-code spans.

  - A stateReplaceField co-occurrence detector for section 8.3(b). Measured
    at 29 false positives to 1 true positive — it matched the function's own
    definition and ~20 calls on frontmatter-free body slices. Banking 29
    non-defects to catch one is the 'ratchet as a parking lot' gaming route
    Decision 5 names, so it is a DECLARED KNOWN GAP owned by Phase 2
    (#3469), which both fixes it and makes its detection tractable.

* test(#3468): failing-first coverage for policy dispatch and the loud failure

Matrix sections A, B and C from 50-test-matrix.md.

Expected RED against this tree, confirmed by static trace rather than
assumed:

  B1, B2, B3 — an unwired declared preserve-when-unchanged row must throw
  with code STATE_PRESERVATION_UNWIRED_ROW and a structured .field. Today
  src/state-transition.cts:314 silently continues.

  A4 — a whitespace-only snapshot is restored today, because the guard is
  .length > 0. Required behavior is skip.

Everything else is characterization, locking in behavior the refactor must
preserve. C1 is table-driven over every FIELD_CLASSIFICATION key; C2 pins
current_phase_name's exact outputs as literals, because its row is being
reclassified preserve-always to preserve-when-unchanged as a
behavior-preserving change and nothing else would catch a drift. C3 is a
seeded fast-check property (seed 3468, 200 runs, replay data on failure).

A22 is deliberately NOT a behavioral test. Whether 'derive' has an explicit
executor is not observable through applyStatePreservation's public API — it
is a structural property, and the drift guard's unimplemented_policy axis is
what enforces it. That split is ADR-3408 Decision 5's own pairing: the lint
is the structural metric, the test is the outcome metric, and neither is
reported alone.

* refactor(#3468): dispatch preservation on the declared policy, not the field

Implements ADR-3408 sections 8.1, 8.2 and 8.6.

applyStatePreservation is now one loop over FIELD_CLASSIFICATION dispatching
on the row's preservation value, with four small executors — one per
FieldPreservation member. No branch is selected by field name. Zero
literal-argument getFieldClassification calls remain.

Behavior-preserving for 16 of 20 input classes. The four that change:

  - An unwired declared preserve-when-unchanged row now THROWS
    (code STATE_PRESERVATION_UNWIRED_ROW, structured .field) instead of
    silently continuing. This fires only on an internal invariant violation
    with both ends in our own source; a drifted, malformed or unparseable
    user STATE.md must never reach it, which is section 8.2's bright line
    and what test B8 proves through the real CLI.
  - derive gained an explicit no-op executor. That is what makes the throw
    decidable: 'policy says do nothing' is now distinguishable from 'nobody
    wired this'.
  - current_phase_name's row is corrected from preserve-always to
    preserve-when-unchanged. The row was wrong, not the code — it has always
    been delta-gated on the body Phase line, so preserve-always had two
    divergent implementations. Behavior is unchanged and test C2 pins it.
  - A whitespace-only snapshot is no longer restored; the check is trimmed.

clear is deleted from the FieldPreservation union — no row used it and no
executor existed. Speculative Generality: a policy invented for a need that
never arrived. Verified zero dependents.

The caller folds six dedicated pre/post parameters into one bodyDeltas map
keyed by field, so all seven preserve-when-unchanged rows travel one channel
instead of two. Two shapes for one kind of data is why the executor needed
per-field branches at all.

Also fixed, found while reviewing the refactor rather than deferred:

  - applyPreserveIfPlaceholder opened with a field-name literal test, which
    section 8.1 forbids outright. The executor is idempotent, so the test
    bought nothing. The drift guard could not see it, so Axis 1 is widened
    to catch field-variable comparisons against literals — the guard
    reported zero while a violation sat in the file it polices, which is
    Goodhart's gaming-by-indirection.
  - loadBaseline conflated an unreadable baseline with an absent one. A
    guard whose own diagnostic collapses two states into one identical
    result reproduces the exact failure shape this epic exists to remove.

* docs(#3468): record Phase 1 validation as ADR-3408 Amendment 1

Amendment 1 records what Phase 1 found, per ADR-3408 section 8's rule that a
behavior it does not state is not decided:

- preserve-always had TWO divergent implementations; current_phase_name's
  row was wrong and is reclassified, behavior unchanged.
- section 8.6 resolved: clear is deleted, zero dependents.
- the closed guard vocabulary is real and has exactly one true member,
  because stopped_at's scoping turned out to be caller-side extraction.
- copy count found by the guard: 4 write-seam bypasses where the epic
  scoped 2, and patchCore — one of the two it named — is not among them.
- two detectors built and removed again, with their measured false-positive
  rates, so nobody re-attempts them.
- a DECLARED KNOWN GAP for section 8.3(b), owned by Phase 2.
- Decision 5's anti-gaming list earned itself twice in one phase.

Also adds the changeset fragment.

* test(#3468): fix review findings — try/finally, stale clear allowlist, ratchet owners

Standards axis, both hard violations:

  - tests/state-write-path-drift-guard.test.cjs wrapped stdout/argv/exitCode
    restoration in try/finally inside the test body. CONTRIBUTING.md:356
    forbids it outright, and the correct t.after() pattern was already in
    use two lines up in the same test.

  - tests/state-transition.test.cjs still listed 'clear' as an allowed
    FieldPreservation value in the row-enumeration test AND the
    getFieldClassification property test, after this PR deleted it. A stale
    allowlist weakens the property's negative space — it would accept a
    resurrected clear row as valid.

Contract tension, resolved rather than left:

  ADR-3408 section 8.3 requires each ratchet entry carry the issue owning
  its removal. All four shipped with owner: null. The guard was right not to
  INVENT one, but the owners are known from the phase plan, so recording
  them is not inventing: phase.cts -> #3469, state.cts and milestone.cts ->
  #3471, health-diagnostic.cts -> sanctioned-permanent.

  Rather than a JSDoc caveat, --baseline now MERGES prior owner values on
  the (file, source) key, so a mechanical regeneration can no longer
  silently discard curated provenance. Verified by regenerating twice.

* fix(#3468): sanitize attacker-controlled fields on every guard output path

Isolated security review, MEDIUM, confidence 8/10.

findSeamBypasses and findPromptSeamUses built findings with an UNSANITIZED
`file`, while the co-located `source` on the same object was correctly
wrapped in sanitizeForReport. On a fork PR a filename is exactly as
attacker-controlled as a source fragment — a repo can legally track a
filename carrying C1 control bytes or bidi overrides.

The raw value reached two paths: --json stdout, and the COMMITTED baseline
JSON via buildBaselineEntries. JSON.stringify neutralizes C0 controls but
does NOT escape C1 (0x7f-0x9f) nor the bidi/zero-width range
sanitizeForReport exists to strip — which is the precise threat the guard's
own header names. Only the human formatter was safe.

Sanitization now happens at CONSTRUCTION, so every consumer inherits it
rather than each output path having to remember. The same defect was present
on `field` and `policy` and is fixed alongside. Double-sanitization in the
formatter is left in place, verified idempotent: escaped output is ASCII and
cannot re-match the control/bidi classes.

Also: the guard was not referenced anywhere in package.json, so nothing ran
it. A drift guard nobody runs is not a guard, and ADR-3408 Decision 5 assumes
it runs. Wired into lint:ci beside its sibling drift guards; it was already
green on this tree, so the chain stays green.

* chore(#3468): re-curate ratchet after an upstream rewording of a tracked bypass

The rebase onto origin/next turned the guard red on its first real day, which
is the ratchet working rather than a defect.

c90ae479f fix(#3350) reworded cmdPhaseComplete's syncStateFrontmatter call
onto one line and changed its third argument. Because entries are keyed on
(file, trimmed source text) rather than a line number, that single upstream
edit registered as BOTH a stale acknowledgment and an unrecorded site — the
two-sided signal the design intends, forcing a human to look rather than
letting a tracked bypass drift out of view.

The owner-preserving merge behaved exactly as designed: three owners survived
because their keys were unchanged, and phase.cts's dropped to null because its
source text is genuinely a different key. Re-curated to #3469, the phase that
owns its removal.

Note for Phase 2: c90ae479f is #3350's fix landing independently on next —
one of the two instances Phase 2 was scoped to drive fail-first. Surfaced to
the epic rather than absorbed silently.

* test(#3468): derive B1's fixture from the table so it cannot go stale

Checkpoint 2 came back with 2 failures of 33803, both B1:

  actual   'current_phase_name'
  expected 'current_plan'

The implementation was right and the test was stale. B1 hand-built a
bodyDeltas literal intending current_plan to be the ONLY unwired row, but it
also omitted status, stopped_at and current_phase_name — all three of which
became preserve-when-unchanged rows in THIS PR. Table order puts
current_phase_name first, so the throw correctly named it.

B1 now builds from neutralBodyDeltas() and deletes exactly one key, which is
what its own comment always claimed it did. A future table change can no
longer silently make it assert the wrong field.

Audited every other bodyDeltas literal in the file: four exist, all correct —
two enumerate all seven rows explicitly, two pass {} where the emptiness is
the point of the test. Roughly thirty other sites already derive from the
helper.

Also renames the local unchchangedChanged to lastActivityDescChangedDeltas.
A typo'd identifier that happens to work is still a Mysterious Name; noted
during research and fixed now that this change touches the file.

* chore(#3468): re-curate ratchet and fold the seam channel into the shared helper

The rebase onto be9329b10 fix(#3374) was a true semantic conflict, resolved
rather than handed back, because the resolution was determinable:

That PR extracted the post-sync preservation pass into a shared
applyPostSyncPreservation helper — which is ADR-3408 section 8.3, i.e. a
piece of Phase 2's own deliverable, landing upstream. Its structure is kept
wholesale; this branch's contribution is applied INSIDE it.

That combination had to be checked rather than assumed. Upstream's helper
wires only FOUR bodyDeltas keys and still passes status / stopped_at /
current_phase_name through six dedicated parameters. This branch reclassifies
current_phase_name to preserve-when-unchanged, deletes those six parameters
from StatePreservationInput, and makes an unwired declared row THROW. Taking
upstream's file as-is would therefore have thrown on EVERY STATE.md write.

The helper now wires all seven rows through the single channel. Verified
7-to-7 against FIELD_CLASSIFICATION, with a clean tsc — which is the real
proof the dedicated parameters are gone, since they no longer exist on the
input type.

The ratchet also caught the same phase.cts call being reworded a second time,
reporting it as both a stale acknowledgment and an unrecorded site. Re-curated
to #3469. Recording the tradeoff plainly: keying on (file, source text) means
an upstream reword of a tracked line needs re-curation, where keying on line
numbers would churn on every unrelated edit. ADR-3180 Decision 4(e) chose
source text deliberately, and the owner-preserving merge added earlier covers
the common case where the text is unchanged.

be9329b10b fix(#3374): phase.complete stops harvesting stale body stopped_at (#3491)
* fix(#3374): phase.complete stops harvesting stale body stopped_at

Variant A: cmdPhaseComplete's adapter calls syncStateFrontmatter directly
(deliberately - STATE.md commits atomically with ROADMAP/REQUIREMENTS),
which also bypassed the #948/#1230 preservation pass every RMW write gets.
A stale body 'Stopped at:' line then silently clobbered a fresher
frontmatter stopped_at on every phase completion, with warnings: [].

Three layers close it without reversing #3517's refresh expectation:
- completePhaseCore now refreshes the body continuity line it implies
  ('Phase N complete, ready to plan Phase N+1'; ADR-2207 phrasing on the
  last phase), session-scoped via the new stateReplaceFieldInSession seam
  so a decoy bold Stopped-at line in an unrelated section cannot absorb
  the refresh. Replace-only - a layout with no session line keeps its
  shape and its frontmatter value survives via the preservation delta.
- the RMW post-sync preservation chunk (snapshots + table-driven
  applyStatePreservation + #2736 re-assert, full bodyDeltas wired) is
  extracted into the shared applyPostSyncPreservation helper; the
  phase.complete adapter and writeStateMd (milestone complete / state
  sync - the gap the closed PR #3442 review flagged) now run it too.
- cmdStateRecordSession pushed 'Stopped At' onto updated[] on any label
  MATCH, including a value already on disk - reporting a write that never
  changed a byte. It now reports only on real change, and the match is
  tracked separately so an identical value does not arm the #944 DWIM
  section rewrite (which would reset an executor-authored resume file to
  None).

* docs(#3374): backfill changeset pr field to 3491

* fix(#3374): drop the writeStateMd preservation pass - state sync's #905 contract is body-wins

CI on this PR caught what the closed PR #3442 review's MAJOR remediation
option (a) would have broken: state sync's #905 contract ('body annotation
beats existing frontmatter when both are present') is the opposite by
design - sync exists to re-derive frontmatter from the body. A blanket
applyStatePreservation pass on writeStateMd re-locked stale frontmatter
(current_phase 3 over the body's 5) on every sync.

Take the review's sanctioned option (b) instead: the scope claim is
accurate (phase.complete only) and the milestone complete / state sync
exposure is tracked as follow-up issue #3492.

6b34557ba3 fix(#3311): milestone lock makes parallel-phase state conflicts visible (#3455)
* fix(#3311): milestone lock makes parallel-phase state conflicts visible

Two sessions running different phases in one working tree silently
clobbered STATE.md's single un-scoped ## Current Position slot: byte-level
serialization already existed (STATE.md.lock since #464), but nothing ever
surfaced that two sessions claimed two different phases, and
state.advance-plan — which takes no phase argument — kept advancing whatever
plan the just-clobbered position named.

Adds the maintainer-chosen milestone lock (issue #3311 comment): an advisory
.planning/milestone.lock claim keyed by phase + session id (session identity
via getWorkstreamSessionKey: env-first, then controlling TTY). begin-phase
claims (inside the STATE.md lock), advance-plan detects a claim/position
mismatch and heartbeats a matching claim, phase.complete warns via warnings[]
and releases the claim when the claimed phase completes. Conflicts warn
(stderr + typed milestone_conflict JSON field) instead of blocking, per the
decision's blocking/warning latitude; TTL 4h with heartbeat liveness expires
abandoned claims. milestone.lock is registered in the canonical artifact
registry so validate.health W019 recognizes it.

dc3c81e93d chore(#3212): src/pattern.cts is the sole owner of runtime-value regex construction — Phase 1 (#3416)
* test(#3412): failing-first suite for the pattern-construction seam

Phase 1 of epic #3212 (ADR-3212 §1/§2/§7). Tests only — src/pattern.cts
and eslint-rules/no-adhoc-regex-escape.cjs do not exist yet, so both
suites fail with MODULE_NOT_FOUND, which is the intended RED.

Locks the measured behavior rather than the assumed behavior:
RegExp.escape hex-escapes the leading character of nearly every string
("abc" -> "\x61bc"), so the suite asserts match-equivalence against an
inlined historical oracle (the implementation being deleted) rather
than byte-equivalence of pattern text — 200 seeded fast-check runs plus
a fixed corpus, 0 mismatches. Also locks the latent character-class
range bug this phase fixes as a side effect: a hyphen-bearing value
interpolated into [...] currently forms a real range and matches an
unintended character; post-migration it must not.

* chore(#3412): src/pattern.cts owns runtime-value regex construction

Phase 1 of epic #3212 (ADR-3212 §1/§2/§6/§7). Adds the pattern seam
delegating to the built-in RegExp.escape, deletes every hand-rolled
copy, and raises the Node floor to the Active LTS line.

The census was low, three times over. ADR-3212 counted 10 copies; a
graph query found 12; the new lint rule — once live — found 27 more.
The difference is that the census counted named helper FUNCTIONS while
the rule counts the escape SHAPE, so inline .replace(<class>, '\$&')
copies were never in scope. ADR §1's actual requirement is that no
module outside the seam escapes a value for regex use, so all of them
are, and CLAUDE.md's no-defer rule makes them this change's work.
Fourth consecutive epic here whose copy count was low — the argument
for ADR-3180 Amendment 3's "state N found by the guard" rule.

Also corrected mid-implementation: the survey reported phase-id.cts's
escapeRegex had 0 external importers. It had 8 production importers,
making its removal a public-surface change to an ADR-2121-owned module
and requiring an update to that ADR's locked-surface test. Blast
radius revised Medium-High -> High.

RegExp.escape is match-equivalent but NOT text-equivalent: it
hex-escapes the leading char of nearly every string ("abc" ->
"\x61bc"). Equivalence is proven by a seeded fast-check property test
against the deleted implementation as oracle. It also fixes a latent
bug: a hyphen-bearing value interpolated into a character class
previously formed a real range and matched an unintended character.

Node floor 22 -> 24 (RegExp.escape is Node 24+), across engines,
.nvmrc, package-lock, 9 CI matrix entries, and 5 docs. The aggregate
`required-tests` context is unchanged and no job was added or removed,
so branch protection cannot be orphaned by the dropped lanes.

Enforced by eslint-rules/no-adhoc-regex-escape.cjs (shape-matched, with
structural provenance for reviewed pattern-fragment constants rather
than a name heuristic) plus a whole-tree companion guard covering the
directories ESLint's globs miss.

* fix(#3412): close the _SOURCE guard evasion, correct two false claims

Three findings from the orthogonal review pass, all fixed.

1. The ESLint rule's `_SOURCE` provenance fallback was pure identifier-
   name matching with no binding check, so `new RegExp(userInput_SOURCE)`
   — a function parameter — sailed past the guard. That is the same
   rename-evasion class issue #3410 documents, reopened by the very
   fallback meant to complement the structural check. Now bound to the
   identifier's actual binding kind: import, require-derived const, or
   module-scope const; parameters, `let`/`var`, and unresolvable
   bindings fail closed. Four RuleTester cases cover the evasion and
   prove the legitimate cross-module case still passes.

2. src/pattern.cts's own header carried the stale pre-correction counts
   (12 copies / 17 call sites) while CONTEXT.md and the design doc
   carried the corrected ones (~39 / ~44) — a self-contradiction inside
   the PR whose entire purpose is deleting divergent copies. Rewritten,
   preserving the durable lesson: a named-function census cannot see
   inline copies; only a shape-matching guard can.

3. The claim that all deleted copies threw TypeError on non-string was
   false. phase-id.cts's copy — the one with 8 external importers — did
   String(value).replace(...) and never threw. The seam's locked
   signature does not coerce, so this is a real, now-disclosed behavior
   change rather than the pure preservation the tests asserted. Audited
   all 32 invocations across the 8 importers and 6 in-file callers:
   every one is safe by construction (upstream truthy guard or a
   string-producing derivation), verified by runtime probe against the
   compiled modules rather than by TS compilation, which cannot see a
   runtime undefined. Corrected the false claim in both the test comment
   and the design doc, and added it to Known limits.

* docs(#3412): add Changed changeset for the Node 24 floor

The only user-visible break in this phase. The escape-behavior change
is internal and match-equivalent, so it carries no user-facing note.

* fix(#3412): resolve the seam's require graph in script fixtures and packaging

Checkpoint 2 came back red with 90 failures on the node24 lane. Three
distinct defects, all introduced by routing scripts/ through the new
pattern seam, none reproducible by any local gate:

1. ~82 failures — tests/adr-index-gate.test.cjs and
   tests/removed-but-needed-lint.test.cjs copy a scripts/*.cjs into an
   mkdtemp fixture and spawn it there (necessary: those scripts resolve
   their scan root from __dirname/.., so running the real script would
   scan the real repo). Each harness hand-listed the dependencies to
   copy alongside. Adding require('../gsd-core/bin/lib/pattern.cjs') to
   gen-adr-index.cjs made both lists silently incomplete ->
   MODULE_NOT_FOUND, plus 17 downstream 'did not emit parseable JSON'
   failures from the same crash.

   Fixed as a class, not an instance: new tests/helpers/copy-script-
   fixture.cjs walks a script's transitive static relative-require graph
   and copies it, so dependencies are derived and never re-declared. It
   throws (naming the unbuilt artifact) instead of letting the child die
   with a bare MODULE_NOT_FOUND. Verified for all four seam-consuming
   scripts: gen-adr-index, lint-removed-but-needed, gen-loop-host-
   contract, sync-runtime-launcher.

2. 2 failures — scripts/ ships wholesale but eslint-rules/ does not, so
   the new scripts/lint-no-adhoc-regex-escape.cjs would be
   MODULE_NOT_FOUND in a published install (#2858 guard). Excluded from
   the tarball, matching the existing precedent for gen-emitted-
   baseline.cjs, which is excluded for the identical reason, and locked
   with a test modeled on that one. Confirmed against a real npm pack:
   890 files, 0 from eslint-rules/, and gsd-core/bin/lib/pattern.cjs
   present (so the other four scripts' requires are legitimate).

3. 6 failures — tests/phase-id.test.cjs asserted the literal escaped
   source text ('0*29', 'PROJ-42'). RegExp.escape is match-equivalent to
   the retired hand-rolled escaper but NOT text-equivalent: it hex-
   escapes the leading character and all hyphens ('0*\x329',
   '\x50ROJ\x2d42'). Verified NOT a behavior change — 576 match
   decisions across all three real interpolation prefixes, zero
   divergence. Those tests now compile each source into the same heading
   regex src/roadmap.cts's searchPhaseInContent builds and assert what
   matches and what does not, including the 'i'-flag canonicalization
   the hex escape has to preserve. Re-pinning the new literals would
   have rebuilt the same brittleness one layer down. Adds a test for the
   property the escape exists for: a dot in '1.2' must not act as a
   wildcard.

Also shares one definition of 'a require' between the packaging guard
and the fixture copier, so the two cannot disagree about what they scan.

* fix(#3412): refuse to copy a fixture dependency outside the fixture root

copyScriptWithDeps resolved each relative require and joined the
repo-relative result onto fixtureRoot. A require resolving OUTSIDE the
repo yields a '../'-prefixed relative path, so path.join climbed out of
the fixture and wrote into the surrounding temp dir (verified:
repoRoot=/repo + depAbs=/etc/passwd wrote /tmp/etc/passwd).

No script in the tree does this today, so this closes an available
escape rather than an active one. Refuses via the existing unresolved-
require path so the failure names the offending specifier. Covered by a
negative proof that the guard fires and that nothing lands outside the
fixture.

* fix(#3412): parse requires instead of pattern-matching them; restore the foreign-prefix contract

Applies all findings from the second orthogonal review round, re-run
because real code changed after round 1.

HIGH (security) — extractRequires stripped BLOCK comments before LINE
comments, so a '//' comment containing '/*' opened a phantom block
comment, and a '//' inside a string literal truncated the line. Both
hid real requires: 'const u="http://x"; require("./real.cjs")'
returned [], and four real requires in gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs were
invisible. Replaced with a real AST parse via espree.

This is ADR-3212's own Decision 4 — tokenizer-first for stateful
grammars — applied to the case it describes; comment/string/regex
nesting is exactly such a grammar, which is why the regex version was
wrong. The function was moved byte-identical out of the #2858 packaging
guard, so the bug PRE-DATES this branch and has been a live blind spot
there: a shipped script could have required an unshipped path
undetected. Fixing it makes that guard strictly stronger than on next.

espree is promoted from a transitive eslint dependency to an explicit
devDependency rather than relying on hoisting. The script parse attempt
sets ecmaFeatures.globalReturn because Node wraps CommonJS bodies in a
function, making a top-level return legal — scripts/check-coverage-gate
.cjs relies on it, and without the flag the guard throws on a file it
is supposed to scan. Verified 0 unparseable across all 324 .cjs/.js
under scripts/, bin/, and gsd-core/bin/, and 0 new violations against a
real npm pack, so the exact extractor does not newly fail the guard.

MEDIUM (security) — the repo-containment check guarded dependencies but
not the entry path. One escapesContainment predicate now guards both.

LOW (security) — containment was lexical while fs follows symlinks, and
a directory symlink could mint a fresh dedupe key per level. realpath
now resolves both repoRoot and each dependency before the decision, and
the realpath-derived path is the dedupe key. Destination layout still
uses the original repo-relative path, so copied trees are unchanged.

MAJOR (standards) — the round-1 behavioral rewrite of phase-id tests
lost the foreign-prefix contract: every assertion was satisfied by an
impl returning [A-Z]+\x2d42, i.e. ANY project code — the exact #3599
bug class the exact-source prevents. The literal assertions it replaced
were catching this. Now asserts the compiled regex REJECTS a different
prefix with the same number.

MAJOR (standards) — the test hand-duplicated production's heading regex
with no parity guard (CLAUDE.md's 'Generative Fix Divergence'). Removed
the parallel surface instead of policing it: src/roadmap.cts exports
buildPhaseHeadingRegex, searchPhaseInContent calls it, the test imports
it. Byte-identical .source and .flags verified for both escaped forms.

MINOR — '..foo' no longer false-flagged as an escape; the inverted
spurious-vs-missing doc claim corrected; the dead allow-test-rule
header removed.

* chore(#3412): backfill changeset pr number to 3416

* fix(#3412): make the escape guard's own regex linear, reword an injection-scan collision

Two CI failures on PR #3416, both in code this branch added.

CodeQL js/redos (high) — REPLACE_CALL_RE's outer alternation let a
bracket run be consumed EITHER by the character-class branch OR one
character at a time by the trailing catch-all, so a failing match
explored both parses of every pair. Measured on the real regex:
n=26 -> 204ms, n=28 -> 791ms, n=30 -> 3475ms, a clean 2^n. This script
scans repo source, so a file with a long bracket run after '.replace(/'
would hang CI outright — a guard against undisciplined pattern
construction was itself the worst pattern in the diff.

Fixed the way ADR-3212 already prescribes: the catch-all branch now
excludes '[' and ']' so a bracket can only be consumed by the class
branch (this is what makes it linear), and every quantifier is bounded
(the locked bounded-quantifiers decision) as a second line of defense.
Now 0ms at n=2000. Disclosed coverage tradeoff, recorded at the
constant: a regex literal with a BARE unescaped ']' outside a class is
no longer matched by this backstop. No census shape has that form, and
the AST rule remains the primary detector.

Verified the guard did not go blind doing it: a real census-shape
violation is still reported, and an allow-adhoc-regex-escape
suppression comment is still honored.

Regression test drives the exported findViolations on a
2000-repetition adversarial input and asserts the RESULT. It makes no
wall-clock assertion — elapsed-time tests are forbidden — so a
regression surfaces as a harness timeout, which is the correct signal.

Prompt injection scan — 'must not act as a regex wildcard' in a test
comment matched the scanner's jailbreak pattern act\s+as\s+(a|an|if|
my). Reworded to 'behave as'. Deliberately NOT allowlisted: silencing a
whole test file over one phrase would blunt the scanner permanently,
and the comment has nothing to do with injection.

Neither failure was reachable from the remote runner — CodeQL and the
injection scan are not in that matrix, so the sha it passed was green
and still wrong.

* test(#3257: full-line frontmatter comments survive the parse→reconstruct pair AND a mutating state verb

parseYamlRegion dropped column-0 # comments and reconstructFrontmatter rebuilt
from Object.entries alone, so full-line comments were silently destroyed on
every mutating STATE verb. Add failing-first regressions: 3 unit tests for the
public pair (comment between keys, leading+trailing, consecutive) and an e2e
test running a state verb (state update) on a commented STATE.md — the e2e
exercises syncStateFrontmatter's fresh-derivedFm rebuild path, which is the
actual loss site the issue is filed against.

RED — fails on next; fix follows.

* fix(#3257: preserve full-line frontmatter comments through parse→reconstruct AND syncStateFrontmatter

Carry column-0 # comments through the frontmatter pair via a Symbol-keyed
channel (FULL_LINE_COMMENTS): parseYamlRegion captures ^# lines and attaches
them to the next top-level key (leading) or a trailing slot; reconstructFrontmatter
re-emits them in place. The Symbol is invisible to Object.entries/keys/JSON, so
every existing reader is unchanged; the channel is created only when a comment
is seen, so comment-less frontmatter is byte-identical.

CRITICAL (isolated review): syncStateFrontmatter rebuilds its target via
buildStateFrontmatter (fresh object) + an Object.keys carry-forward, both of
which skip the Symbol — so the pair-preserving channel was lost on the very
STATE verbs the issue names. Export propagateCommentChannel(source, target)
from frontmatter.cts and call it in syncStateFrontmatter before reconstruct,
copying the channel onto derivedFm (leading filtered to keys still present so a
deleted key's annotation drops with it, trailing preserved). Decision A.

23e6d49929 fix(#3233): no-op state update-progress when the milestone scan finds zero plans (#3375)
* test(#3233): zero plans (0/0) is a no-op; plans-but-none-done still writes 0%

cmdStateUpdateProgress mapped 0/0 through clampPercent to 0% and rewrote the
shipped Progress record after milestone close. Replace the stale 'handles zero
plans gracefully' test (which asserted the buggy percent:0) with a #3233 no-op
regression (100% record preserved, updated:false), and add a negative-space
guard: plans exist but none done must still write a legitimate 0%.

RED — fails on next; fix follows.

* fix(#3233): no-op state update-progress when the milestone scan finds zero plans

cmdStateUpdateProgress mapped 0/0 through clampPercent to 0% and unconditionally
rewrote the body Progress line, so after /gsd-complete-milestone archived the
phases (.planning/phases/ empty, scope COMPLETE) a routine update-progress run
destroyed the shipped record ([██████████] 100% → [░░░░░░░░░░] 0%).

Add an early-return no-op when totalPlans === 0 — mirroring the established
scope-withholding no-op (stderr WARNING + {updated:false, reason}) and
computeProgressPercent's null-for-empty contract ('nothing to measure' ≠ '0%
done'). The legitimate 0% case (plans exist, none summarized) is unaffected:
totalPlans > 0 reaches clampPercent(0, N>0) = 0 and writes 0% as before.

* test(#3233): unshadow 'Progress field missing' — clear the zero-plans guard

The new totalPlans===0 no-op guard fires before the 'Progress field not found'
branch, so the existing 'returns error when Progress field missing' test (no
phase dirs → 0 plans) was passing for the wrong reason and that branch lost
coverage. Give that test a phase dir + PLAN so totalPlans > 0 clears the guard
and it reaches the branch it is named for. (Isolated review finding.)

e87fb409ee enhance(#2573): stamp STATE.md with its commit and surface a freshness hint (#2622)
* enhance(#2573): stamp STATE.md with its commit and surface a commit-age freshness hint

Adds a `state_head` stamp to STATE.md and derives a tri-state commit-age
freshness proxy (state_commits_behind / state_commit_stale) through
state.cjs's readStateHeadFreshness, surfaced on smart-entry signals and as
health W024. The proxy is advisory: classify() deliberately does NOT consume
it (ADR-1787 locks the classification/routing boundary — a signal, not a route).

Composes with #3099 and #1882 (both merged to next after this branch): the
commit-age proxy reads `state_head` while the LAST_ACTIVITY_UNPARSEABLE
diagnostic reads `last_activity` — two different fields, not "two staleness
signals on one field." A new regression test asserts a STATE.md carrying both
an unparseable last_activity AND a valid state_head resolves each independently
(diagnostic fires once; freshness reads state_head, commits_behind 0).

Rebased onto next (flattened): resolved the add/add conflicts in
src/smart-entry.cts (kept both the #2573 freshness import/derivation and the
#3099 diagnostic import/call) and tests/smart-entry.unit.test.cjs (kept both
describe blocks). Drift-ack for health.md's W024 row is unchanged (12348 B).
Tests: smart-entry 62, state/state-transition/health/verify 639, all pass.

* chore(#2573): allowlist health-validation test in the prompt-injection scan

The scanner's `exec('` code-execution pattern matches the benign
`re.exec('<phase-id>')` RegExp method calls in the phase-ID grammar tests
(pre-existing: 16 such calls on next, this PR adds none). The file entered the
diff-mode scan's changed-file set only because #2573's W024 state_head
assertions touch it. Allowlist it alongside the other test files that carry
pattern-matching content as data (same DEFECT.PROMPT-INJECTION-SCAN-COLLISION
class). Scanner self-test 38/0; diff scan 14 files, 0 findings.

aceea3ce4a refactor(#3217): withhold a percentage when its scope is not complete (#3318)
* wip(#3217): rule-4 scope withholding — parked, two open findings

Implemented but NOT shippable. An isolated review found buildStateFrontmatter
still hardcodes SCOPE.COMPLETE, so state json reports percent 0 where roadmap
analyze, stats and query progress all correctly report null on the same disk
state - rule 4 reintroduced at a site this phase claims to close. Also: roadmap
analyze emits scope complete beside progress_percent null with nothing
explaining it.

Parked to build Phase 4 (#3186) first, which is unblocked. Findings recorded in
.gsd/phase/refactor-3217-completion-ratio-scoping/60-review.json.

* fix(#3217): withhold the sync percentage on a non-complete scope

The parked blocker is fixed - buildStateFrontmatter no longer hardcodes
SCOPE.COMPLETE, and the prose Progress fallback is gated too, which was a second
leak found while tracing the first. roadmap analyze exposes progress_scope so a
consumer can tell WHY a percentage is absent from the JSON alone.

Then a residual gap was reproduced rather than assumed. cmdStateSync carried the
same hardcode behind a written reason claiming it did not reproduce. It did: on a
TRUNCATED window and on UNSCOPED row 4, state sync wrote Progress 0 percent to 100
percent while state json, roadmap analyze, stats and query progress all withheld -
and it persisted a self-contradictory file, body claiming 100 percent while its own
frontmatter correctly omitted percent.

The excuse was also wrong. syncRoadmapRaw is already parsed in that function and is
exactly what produces a real scope, so there was a scope to pass. Threaded through
listMilestonePhaseDirs; a non-complete scope now skips the write with a reason in
changes. milestoneBounded stays as the orthogonal 1761 guard for row 5.

Second time this epic a does-not-reproduce claim was too generous. Recorded in
ADR Amendment 8 as a correction rather than a quiet rewrite.

Verified on the remote runner.

* test(#3217): give the withholding fixtures a resolvable scope

40 matrix failures, all fixture drift - no code regression. My own hypothesis
that this was over-withholding was wrong and is recorded as such: the worry case,
a plain ROADMAP with Phase entries and no version heading, resolves to complete
exactly as ADR 7.1 says it should.

The real causes were two fixture shapes. Most had no ROADMAP.md at all, which is
unreadable via a pre-existing graceful path, and asserted a numeric percent. The
five vscode, pi-extension, mcp-server and shell-projection failures were that
shape - bare temp dirs using progress json as a reachability proxy while
asserting typeof percent is number, which under rule 4 is now null.

The rest had a version token in a title or heading with no STATE.md milestone
pointer to resolve it, which is classification row 4, versioned but unresolved,
so withholding is correct per the contract.

Verified on the remote runner.

* test(#3217): make the LM-tools reachability tests dispatch against their fixture

The gsd_progress reachability test was never testing its fixture. invoke()
resolves cwd from vscode.workspace.workspaceFolders by design (the real
LanguageModelToolInvocationOptions has no cwd field, per the 2103 fix in
extension.js), the mock had no workspace at all, and the test passed a cwd option
nothing reads - so it dispatched against the repo working directory. Writing a
ROADMAP into the temp dir had no effect. Rule 4 only made it visible.

Fixed by mocking workspaceFolders. The two siblings in the same file carried the
identical dead cwd and were dispatching against the repo too; they were not
failing only because their assertions did not touch scope-dependent output. Both
now use their own fixture with assertions unchanged - the no-planning fallback
paths already satisfy them honestly.

Re-scanned the other five reachability files: no further instances. They thread
cwd into parameters that genuinely read it, not through an options shape that
ignores it.

Verified on the remote runner.

* chore(#3217): backfill changeset PR number

pr:0 placeholder replaced with the real number now that #3318 exists.

* ci(#3217): give the coverage merge enough heap for the merged shards

The coverage gate OOMed at exit 134. c8 report merges three shard artifacts,
roughly 358MB of V8 dumps in coverage/tmp, and died holding their per-file
position maps at the ~4GB default heap. Verified as this branch's delta rather
than pre-existing: the same job succeeded on next at 14:18, after phases 4 and 5
merged.

Both coverage-gate steps get the bump because both re-slice the same merged data.
8192 doubles what failed and leaves headroom on a 16GB ubuntu runner, matching
the idiom the shard step already uses at 6144.

This is a memory bound, not a change to what is measured. No threshold was
touched. The test file was checked for gratuitous subprocess spawning and is
already reasonable at 43 spawns, each a distinct fixture-by-surface pairing.

Verified on the remote runner.

e201cde73c refactor(#3186): one shared phase-completion predicate, disk-strict (#3306)
* docs(#3186): record the disk-strict completion decision in ADR-3180 7.4

The maintainer decided #2957 on 2026-08-08: disk state is authoritative and a
ROADMAP checkbox is a human annotation with no machine authority. Section 7.4
still carried the OPEN QUESTION and was marked blocked, so the contract said one
thing and the tracker another.

Recorded per section 7's own rule - a behavior not stated there is not decided,
and amending a rule is an ADR amendment rather than a code change with a comment.
The decision comment names Phase 4's PR as the carrier of this edit and makes it
an acceptance criterion that the text be in the tree before implementation
begins, so this lands first, alone, ahead of any code.

Also clears the stale blocked-on-2957 row in the guard roster.

* refactor(#3186): one shared phase-completion predicate, disk-strict

isPhaseComplete in verification.cts becomes the single owner. It calls
readVerificationStatus UNCONDITIONALLY - plan count is not a precondition - so a
zero-plan phase with a passing VERIFICATION.md is complete. That is #3168: init
gated the read on a plan count and synthesized a not_required sentinel, so
phase.complete succeeded while init.manager reported incomplete for the same
phase.

The guard, built and run before scope was fixed per Amendment 3, found 9
re-derivations where the ADR named 3. Four were unnamed, including one in the
prompt layer: mvp-phase.md ORed a ticked checkbox with disk status, which under
disk-strict is the divergence itself.

Per the #2957 decision, a ticked ROADMAP checkbox is a human annotation with no
machine authority. The overrides in roadmap analyze and init manager are deleted
rather than generalized; the user's checkbox stays in ROADMAP.md, only its
authority goes.

scanPhasePlans.completed and buildWorkstreamInventory are deliberately NOT folded
- they answer 'are all plans summarized', which is a different question, and
folding them would either over-report completion or invert the dependency
direction between Phase 1's owner and this one.

Verified on the remote runner.

* fix(#3186): close seven review findings and record the missing-verdict rule

The isolated review reproduced a write-path regression I introduced: migrating
cmdRoadmapUpdatePlanProgress dropped its summaryCount>=planCount gate, so a phase
with a fresh passing verification plus a newly-added unsummarized plan reported
complete AND wrote a checkbox into ROADMAP.md while phase complete refused. The
owner stays right per 7.4 - plan count is not a completion precondition - so the
gate is restored at the write site as an explicit composition, mirroring the
separate 2648 unexecuted-plan gate cmdPhaseComplete already carries.

The spec axis was right that my 0.x-split reasoning was too permissive. The 2957
decision names buildStateFrontmatter as one of the three that must converge, and
buildWorkstreamInventory combined a summaries-met local with verification data to
decide the same verdict - Decision 4(c)'s named bypass, and it reproduced 3168 in
a third surface. Both now route through the owner. The raw scanPhasePlans helper
stays: it answers are-plans-summarized, which genuinely is a different question.

Maintainer decision recorded in 7.4: a missing verdict is not a passing one, so
an absent VERIFICATION.md means not complete everywhere. That retires 2645's
verifier-disabled tolerance and inverts its Goodhart incentive - deleting the
evidence now lowers completion instead of raising it.

Guard hardened: block-form count gates and algebraic restatements are caught, and
the header now discloses its remaining limits instead of overclaiming.

Verified on the remote runner.

* fix(#3186): route state sync through the owner and catch bare completed reads

The matrix found 52 failures. 51 were fixtures asserting the old semantics: a
phase with plans and summaries but no VERIFICATION.md used to count complete and
correctly no longer does. Each fixture now carries a passing verification where
that is what the test was actually about, rather than having its assertion
weakened.

The 52nd was a real 10th re-derivation the guard could not see. cmdStateSync
destructured scanPhasePlans().completed directly - a bare field read, not a
comparison - and used it as a completion verdict, so state sync and state json
disagreed on completed_phases for identical disk state. Routed through the owner.

Guard gains shape (d): any read of .completed off a scanPhasePlans() result
outside plan-scan.cts, in chained, destructured and indirect forms, function
scoped with no line window. It cannot tell a summaries-met read from a completion
read - that is data flow - so it flags every one and requires a written-reason
exemption, which is the same discipline shapes a-c already use. The blind spot is
disclosed in the header rather than overclaimed.

The emitted-attribution failure was also mine, not pre-existing: the mvp-phase.md
checkbox-OR removal moves emitted bytes, acknowledged in tests/emitted-drift-acks.

Verified on the remote runner.

* test(#3186): give the nested-plans sync fixture a passing verification

Last 3 matrix failures were one failure echoing up two describe levels. Phase
01-alpha had plans and summaries but no VERIFICATION.md, so under disk-strict
completed stayed 0 and no Progress change was emitted - correct new behavior, not
a regression.

Added the passing verification rather than dropping the Progress expectation, so
the test still covers what #3257 is about: that a nested plans/ layout is counted
and not undercounted. Probe against the built lib confirms
Progress: 0% -> 50% alongside Total Plans in Phase: 0 -> 3.

693f12ad56 refactor(#3187): give state field extraction one canonical owner (#3283)
* refactor(#3187): give state field extraction one canonical owner

stateFieldValue in state-document.cts becomes the single owner of the #1760
frontmatter-then-body fallback chain. The new whole-repo guard found 14
independent re-derivations where the epic scoped 5, all now routed through it:
cmdStateSnapshot (11), cmdStatePrune (2) and smart-entry fmScalar (1).

state validate was a gate that could not fail. Every warning it could emit sat
behind a phase resolved without the frontmatter tier, so a STATE.md whose phase
lives only in frontmatter skipped the drift scan entirely and returned
valid:true. It also read unstripped content, letting a frontmatter status: key
shadow the body field (#1255 class). Both fixed; output gains a scope field so
could-not-look stops being output-identical to looked-and-clean.

Verified on the remote runner.

* docs(#3187): document the state validate scope field and its reason codes

Adds docs/how-to/interpret-state-validate-results.md so a reader can tell
nothing-to-report from could-not-look, updates the COMMANDS.md and USER-GUIDE.md
entries, corrects the CONTEXT.md glossary overstatement about Current Position
sole ownership, and drops the changeset fragment.

* fix(#3187): close three drift-guard evasion shapes and test the refuse path

The isolated adversarial review found the ladder detector was evadable by
ordinary reformatting, not just deliberately: a member or computed operand
(fm.key / fm[key]) missed the bare-identifier backreference, a swapped tier
order missed a hardcoded number-then-boolean sequence, and a ladder wrapped
across lines missed single-line detection. All three now caught, each with its
own test plus a proven boundary control.

The frontmatter-parse refuse path on the destructive complete-phase route was
unreachable and therefore untested. It is now driven by an injected parse
failure and asserts STATE.md is byte-identical after the refusal, rather than
shipping untested defensive code on a path that rewrites user state.

Verified on the remote runner.

* fix(#3187): widen the drift guard to the prompt layer and disclose tier-2 changes

The code-review spec axis found the guard's scan surface was src/ only, which is
Decision 4(d)'s forbidden allowlist one directory wide - and it had a live miss:
gsd-core/workflows/smart-entry.md tells an agent to read status from frontmatter
or the body, a prose expression of this same chain. The surface now covers the
prompt layer. That one site carries a permanent written exemption rather than a
ratchet: it is the gsd-tools-is-down fallback, so it cannot call the owner by
construction, and a ratchet would imply removable debt that does not exist.

Two tier-2 output changes shipped undisclosed and are now named in the changeset
and docs: complete-phase's idempotency guard consulting frontmatter, and the
workstream inventory resolving frontmatter-only fields. docs/COMMANDS.md gains a
state complete-phase entry, which it never had.

Also records Amendment 5 on ADR-3180, extracts the duplicated frontmatter-parse
block the epic's own thesis forbids, and re-points two assertions from free-form
warning prose onto the structured drift object.

Verified on the remote runner.

2a73f53cb3 fix(#3204): milestone sectioning is vocabulary, not heading position (#3230)
* test(#3204): failing-first suite for the clobbered phase count

A project declaring six phases with four phase directories on disk had
state.record-session write progress.total_phases: 4 — #2828 regressing at
1.9.1, reported in #3204 with a deterministic reproduction.

Before the fix in the following commit, these rows FAILED (wrote 4, expected
6): a flat roadmap carrying `## Progress`; one carrying `## Overview` and
`## Phase Details`; the CRLF variant of the first. Two more, found by
adversarial review and added after the first fix attempt, failed against that
attempt: structural headings interleaved among flat phase headings, and this
repo's own bundled-template shape (a `## Phases` wrapper around a single
nested milestone).

The #1761 control — sibling milestone sections must keep falling back to the
disk count — passes both before and after, so the fix has something it must
not break.

Assertions read progress.total_phases through the product's own frontmatter
parser via `state json --raw`, never a regex over STATE.md. Rows 12 and 13
are hostile: a phase heading carrying a version token, and a version heading
inside a fenced code block; neither may count as milestone sectioning.

* fix(#3204): milestone sectioning is vocabulary, not heading position

buildStateFrontmatter chooses total_phases between the ROADMAP's declared
phase count and the on-disk directory count, and refuses the roadmap count
when hasMilestoneSectioning says the document is milestone-sectioned — because
a whole-document count would then conflate sibling milestones (#1761).

That predicate returned true for ANY non-Phase level-2/3 heading, so a flat
roadmap carrying an ordinary `## Progress` was called sectioned and the disk
count clobbered the declared one: six declared phases, four directories,
total_phases written as 4, converging on the truth only once the last
directory happened to exist. That is #2828 regressing at 1.9.1, and it came
from this epic — #3184 replaced state.cts's hand-rolled #2828 guard with this
predicate, and the replacement is strictly more permissive than the guard it
retired.

Three position-based models were tried and all failed, because position does
not carry milestone-ness:

  - any non-Phase heading (shipped) — over-detects, giving #3204;
  - strict nesting/ownership — misses same-level siblings, regressing #1761,
    and false-positives on the bundled template, where `## Phases` wraps a
    single `### v1.1`;
  - adjacency — reproduced live: `## Overview` and `## Notes` interleaved
    among six phase headings are two owning candidates, so a 6-phase roadmap
    with 2 directories wrote 2.

A heading is now a milestone heading iff it is a non-Phase heading carrying a
milestone signal: a version token, a status marker, or the word Milestone.
Sectioning means two or more, since one cannot conflate siblings.

Known limit, recorded in the doc comment rather than hidden: two milestone
sections carrying none of those three signals are not detected.

Also drops buildStateFrontmatter's local dedup-key regex, flagged in-source as
diverging from the canonical token rule, for phaseKeyFromDir — the remainder
of #3185, since #3222 had already routed the enumeration itself through
listMilestonePhaseDirs.

#1514, #2445 and #3017 are preserved untouched.

Closes #3185
Fixes #3204

* docs(#3185): changeset, glossary entry and ADR status for the phase-count fix

CONTEXT.md's Roadmap Parser Module entry never named hasMilestoneSectioning,
so the predicate whose semantics this change reverses had no glossary presence
at all — a PR gate for a module/seam change. Added, covering the vocabulary
model, the three position-based models that failed, and the residual limit.

ADR-3180 recorded the fifth enumeration copy as unowned in four places. It is
owned now. Amendment 4's scope table row 1 also carried an error worth keeping
visible rather than rewriting: it claimed Phase 3 merged without routing the
state writers, when #3222 had in fact routed the enumeration — the audit read
Amendment 3's silence about the symbol names as absence of the work. The real
gap was the trust discriminator one layer above, which is what #3204 was.

Changeset is Fixed and leads with the symptom a user sees — a phase count that
shrinks to match how many phase directories happen to exist yet — and carries
the known limit forward rather than leaving it in a source comment.

* fix(#3185): stop quoting the retired phase-token regex in a comment

The remote runner failed tests/phase-id-drift-guard.test.cjs: the comment
explaining that the local dedup regex had been replaced by phaseKeyFromDir
quoted that regex verbatim, and scripts/lint-phase-id-drift.cjs scans for the
literal token without caring whether it sits in code or in prose.

That is the guard being right, not over-eager — a quoted pattern is one paste
away from being live again, which is exactly how the copy it replaced spread.
Described in prose instead.

Worth recording: this guard is check:phase-id-drift, which lint:ci does not
run — it is enforced by tests/phase-id-drift-guard.test.cjs. A green lint:ci
is therefore not evidence the drift guards pass.

86bebcefa2 refactor(#3216): bind milestone identity to the canonical locator (#3226)
* refactor(#3216): widen milestone-window guard to literal-## matchers

The guard keyed only on the `#{N,M}` quantifier plus a literal version or
phase-lookahead token. getMilestoneInfo hand-rolls its milestone-heading match
with a literal `^##`/`## ` and an interpolated ${escapedVer}, so it satisfied
neither token and the guard reported a clean zero on a file carrying live
re-derivations (#3171, #3197) — a zero it did not earn.

Widen token (a) to a literal 2-6 `#` run, admitted ONLY inside a heading-MATCHER
literal (a regex literal, or a string/template handed to new RegExp) so a
heading-BUILDING template is not mistaken for a re-derivation. Widen token (b)
with the grouped `v(\d+(?:\.\d+)+)` shape and an interpolated version
placeholder.

Ships BEFORE the consolidation per ADR-3180 s7.2: a guard widened afterwards
measures an already-cleaned surface. It is expected to be RED until the
consolidation lands.

* test(#3216): failing-first milestone-identity single-owner suite

63 tests across two files, from the matrix in .gsd/phase/. Section H of
milestone-window-single-owner.test.cjs covers the 21 input classes of the
design's behavior table plus its negative space; milestone-window-drift-guard
covers the widened tokens and proves the exemption is function-scoped, not
file-scoped.

Copy count is 3 found by the guard, not 1 per the epic (ADR-3180 Amendment 3's
standing rule, holding for the fourth consecutive phase): both getMilestoneInfo
sites plus cmdRoadmapAnalyze's milestone enumeration at roadmap.cts:454, which
carries the same #3171 truncation and #3197 phase-heading confusion.

Expected RED until the consolidation lands.

* refactor(#3216): bind milestone identity to the canonical locator

getMilestoneInfo hand-rolled two milestone-heading regexes inside the owner's
own file. Both were wrong, differently: the STATE-version site's ^## anchor is
level-blind so [^\n]* absorbs a third #, and the fallback site had no anchor at
all, so '## ' matched from the second # of '###'. Against
'### Phase 7: Close v3.3 gaps' the fallback returned {v3.3, gaps} (#3197). Both
captured names with [^\n(], truncating at a parenthetical (#3171).

Bind both to the canonical grammar. locateMilestoneHeadings becomes a
version-filtered view over one shared source, and a new version-agnostic
listMilestoneHeadings enumerates milestone headings for callers that need all
of them. getMilestoneInfo returns ScopedResult<MilestoneInfo|null>; the
{v1.0,'milestone'} default, which was output-identical to a real v1.0 project,
is deleted. The #2245 never-throws invariant is preserved.

Copy count: 3 found by the guard, not 1 per the epic. The third was
cmdRoadmapAnalyze's own milestone enumeration (roadmap.cts:454), carrying both
defects in the implementation the epic blessed.

buildStateFrontmatter and archivePhaseDirectories branch on scope: the first
writes null rather than a fabricated identity, the second falls through to its
dated-label fallback. A fabricated v3.3 passes ARCHIVE_VERSION_LABEL_RE, so it
would otherwise misfile phase history.

Also fixes an unsafe cast in init.cts that masked these type errors across five
call sites, which would have shipped undefined milestone fields under green tsc.

* fix(#3216): restore the #1761 unbounded guard and bullet precedence

Review and the first full-matrix run surfaced five real defects in the
consolidation, all fixed here rather than by relaxing the tests that caught
them:

- buildStateFrontmatter gated its isMilestoneBoundedInRoadmap check on the
  scope-gated milestone value, which is null on any non-COMPLETE scope, so the
  #1761 unbounded guard was silently skipped and state json reported a percent
  it must omit. It now gates on the STATE-asserted version, independent of
  identity scope.
- The rewrite lost #2135's precedence: the name-bearing progress-marker bullet
  is consulted before the heading again.
- A single-segment version (v3, no dot) did not resolve; the name-extraction
  fallback now accepts it.
- A version carrying regex metacharacters, or a $& / $1 replacement pattern,
  is matched literally.
- listMilestoneHeadings' heading field trimmed, so a CRLF roadmap no longer
  leaks a trailing carriage return into roadmap analyze's output.

Also emits milestone_version / milestone_name / current_milestone as explicit
null rather than omitting the key, so the prompt layer cannot render a bare
placeholder, and corrects an init.cts comment plus a cast left inconsistent.

* test(#3216): update milestone-identity expectations to the scoped contract

getMilestoneInfo returns ScopedResult<MilestoneInfo|null> and the
{v1.0,'milestone'} default is deleted, so the suites asserting the old shape
assert removed behavior. Updated rather than weakened: every touched call site
now asserts the scope explicitly against the frozen SCOPE enum.

roadmap-parser.test.cjs: 20 expectations moved to {value,scope}. The #1881
unreadable-vs-absent diagnostic assertions are untouched and still prove their
original point — only the return shape moved. One pre-existing assert.ok(info)
is now a specific UNSCOPED assertion, so that case is stronger than before.

new-milestone-clear-phases.test.cjs: the test asserting phases clear archives
under the v1.0 default now asserts the dated archived-<YYYYMMDD> fallback,
which is the deliberate consequence of deleting that default.

Two of this branch's own tests were also corrected after they drove the
implementation the wrong way: the parity test compared raw heading text and so
pushed a stray ## prefix into roadmap analyze's public output, and the hostile
metacharacter row demanded a pathological version resolve, which pushed a
widening of the ADR-locked \b boundary. Both now assert what the contract
actually requires.

* docs(#3216): document milestone identity and correct the CONTEXT.md entry

ADR-3180 s7.2 moves to Enforced and gains two rules that were unstated: the
name derives from the heading's own version token and drops a trailing status
marker, and a free-form legacy ROADMAP with no version anywhere is UNSCOPED
with no identity rather than a defaulted v1.0 (decided by the maintainer before
implementation, per s7's own rule that an unstated behavior is not decided).
Amendment 4 records Phase 6's validation, including that the copy count was a
lower bound for the fourth consecutive phase.

CONTEXT.md's Roadmap Parser entry described locateMilestoneHeadings as
boundary-matched with (?![\w.-]) — the alternative Amendment 2 tried and
REVERTED. The code uses \b and says so, and the ADR agrees; the revert updated
code and ADR and missed CONTEXT.md, which is the epic's own fixed-on-one-copy
failure class in the docs layer, on a file that is itself a PR gate.

* fix(#3216): persist the real version on a truncated identity

buildStateFrontmatter wrote null for BOTH milestone and milestone_name on any
non-COMPLETE scope, discarding a real version. ADR-3180 s7.2 rule 6: a version
known with no resolvable name is TRUNCATED carrying {version, name: null} —
'the version is a real answer, the name is a non-answer, and collapsing the two
is the failure this contract exists to prevent.'

The two fields are now gated by what is actually known: the version whenever one
exists (COMPLETE or TRUNCATED), the name only on COMPLETE. Never fabricated.

Caught by this phase's own Decision 4(c) consumer-output test, which is the
argument for asserting at the consumer rather than the owner — the owner was
correct throughout; only the consumer collapsed its answer.

* refactor(#3216): extract helpers and make cmdCommit's scope gate explicit

From the two-axis code review:

- init.cts repeated the identical getMilestoneInfo cast at five sites with
  copy-pasted comments — duplication inside a PR whose thesis is that duplicates
  get deleted. Extracted milestoneRecord(cwd); the one site-specific comment is
  kept, the four generic copies removed.
- getMilestoneInfo hand-built its { value, scope } literal at ten return points;
  a local scoped() constructor now does it once. Every per-branch rationale
  comment is preserved and no returned value or scope changed.
- cmdCommit gated the milestone branch name on plain truthiness, which is also
  true for TRUNCATED, so an unresolved identity drove branch creation
  incidentally rather than deliberately. It now gates on the SCOPE enum,
  accepting COMPLETE or TRUNCATED because both carry a real version, and the
  comment records why that differs from archivePhaseDirectories — which demands
  COMPLETE because it uses the value as a filesystem path component.

* test(#3216): cover the bare-version-in-prose truncated path

The spec review found the bareVersionMatch path — no STATE version, no
milestone heading, a version token only in prose — returning TRUNCATED with no
test exercising that exact shape, violating Decision 4's boundary-coverage
requirement.

* docs(#3216): record the missed Tier-2 surfaces and rule 5's corollary

Decision 3 requires an explicit call-out for EVERY Tier-2 change, and Amendment
4's first draft named eight surfaces while the change touched thirteen. Adds
cmdCommit's branch-name construction and the four init JSON bundles, an
incomplete list being the same defect in miniature that this epic removes.

s7.2 rule 5 gains a corollary separating two cases the original wording ran
together: no version token ANYWHERE is UNSCOPED, while a bare version token in
prose or a non-milestone heading is weak but real evidence and yields TRUNCATED
under rule 6.

b9f51836e6 refactor(#3180): ADR-3180 behavior contract + cross-surface drift guardrails (#3223)
* refactor(#3180): one owner for completion ratio, a prompt-layer drift guard, and a written behavior contract

The 2026-08-08 coverage audit on #3180 found the epic's copy counts were a
lower bound for the third consecutive time, and that two derivation families
had never been named at all.

ADR-3180 gains Decision 7 — a normative behavior contract that says what the
right answer IS for each derivation, not merely who owns it. A reviewer with
no written rule can only ask "does this look like the others", which is how a
fifth copy passes review. Decision 4 gains (d) scan surface is every authored
surface and an owner FILE is never exempt, only its named functions; and (e)
a surface that cannot be consolidated today ships ratcheted, never unguarded.

Completion ratio: `clampPercent` sat exported and unused beside six hand-inlined
copies of its own body across five modules. All six now route through it;
`clampPercentFromFraction` is added for the one caller that already held a
fraction. Every migration is behaviour-identical — clampPercent's first line IS
the `total > 0 ? … : 0` ternary each copy carried. Guarded by
lint-completion-ratio-drift.cjs, which reports zero re-derivations with no
file-level exemption.

Prompt layer: workflow markdown re-derives live-plan counting in raw shell
(#1762), invisible to every `src/`-scoped guard. lint-planning-prompt-drift.cjs
scans it with a shrink-only baseline of the 7 sites that exist today — new
sites fail, and a baseline entry that stops firing fails too, so an
acknowledgment can never outlive the thing it describes.

lint-milestone-window-drift.cjs stops exempting its owner file wholesale; only
the four named canonical functions are exempt now. The blanket exemption was
pointed at the one file most likely to grow the next copy, and it had.

* fix(#3180): address orthogonal review — consumer-output identity tests, count-keyed ratchet, property coverage

Five findings from the two orthogonal review passes, all fixed.

Decision 4(c) breach: the completion-ratio identity test asserted at the
OWNER, which is exactly the bypass that decision exists to close — a consumer
can call clampPercent and then post-process locally, leaving both the lint and
an owner-level test green. It now drives `roadmap analyze`, `query progress`
and `stats` and asserts on their own output, over a fixture containing a
`status: superseded` plan so a consumer that re-counted raw files would report
60 where the owner reports 75.

Decision 4(e) breach: ratchet entries named the epic (#3180) rather than the
issue that removes them. They name Phase 8 (#3218) now.

The ratchet keyed on (file, text) alone, so plan-phase.md's two byte-identical
sites were one indistinguishable key and migrating either would have left the
guard green with the other alive. Entries carry an occurrence count; fewer than
acknowledged fails as a partial migration, more fails as a new copy.

Adds the missing MAX_REGEX_LITERAL_LEN boundary coverage the sibling guard's
test already had, and the fast-check property tests CONTRIBUTING requires for
clamp/budget-limit functions.

* test: stop wrapping a nested double-spawn in a 15s wall-clock budget (bug #641 probes)

`tests/ci-test-scope.test.cjs`'s `bug #641` block spawned `run-tests.cjs`
under PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS=15000; that child then spawned a nested `node --test`.
A fixed wall-clock budget around a double spawn, running inside a container
that is concurrently executing the full ~31k-test suite, fails by construction
under load.

Confirmed against three full matrix runs. Every failure was shaped
`null !== 0` — the child was KILLED, never an assertion about the thing under
test. One captured probe had already printed the correct resolution
(`suite="all" files=2: a.test.cjs b.test.cjs`) and was killed anyway. It
reproduces on `next` alone: 5 failures on linux-node22, 0 on linux-node24. The
victim subset varies by run and by lane.

What these tests are actually about is suite-token RESOLUTION — `unit` as a
bare token in --files/--files-from. Executing the seeded trivial files is
incidental and is the entire timeout surface, so the assertions move
in-process against the same functions `main()` calls, in the same order.
`parseArgs`, `selectExplicitFiles`, `selectFiles` and `walkTestFiles` are
exported for that; no behavior, signature or logic changed.

No coverage lost: `tests/run-tests-harness.test.cjs` already spawns the
harness for real and asserts exit codes end to end, on a 120s budget.

Pre-existing on `next`, fixed here rather than deferred.

* test: delete the three elapsed-time assertions

CLAUDE.md forbids asserting on wall-clock time. Three assertions did, and all
three are load-sensitive: on a saturated bench each can fail while the code
under test is correct. In every case the load-bearing assertion sits on the
line above and the timing line adds no discrimination.

run-with-timeout: the stated worry — "was this 124 the cap firing or the 30s
harness backstop?" — is already answered by the assertion above it. A backstop
kills by signal, which surfaces as status null, never 124. Observed directly
this session: three matrix runs produced exactly that null shape from killed
children.

normalize-test-command and context-predicates: both bounded a ReDoS check.
A threshold only ever separates "fast" from "slightly slow", which is bench
load, not correctness — catastrophic backtracking on 800 KB of input does not
take 251ms, it does not finish at all. A real regression therefore shows up as
the suite being killed on that test, which is louder and more reliable than a
number. The structural assertions (returned unchanged; cleanly rejected) are
what actually carry those tests, and they stay.

The sweep now reports zero elapsed-time assertions in tests/. The remaining
Date.now() uses are unique-path suffixes, barrier deadlines, fixture
timestamps and fake mtimes — none of them assertions.

Pre-existing on `next`, fixed here rather than deferred.

* fix(#3180): key the prompt-drift ratchet on POSIX paths so it works on Windows

The baseline keys on (file, trimmed text). `file` came from scanTree's
`path.relative()`, which uses NATIVE separators, while the committed baseline
stores POSIX. On Windows every violation was therefore unmatched — reported as
FRESH — and every baseline entry matched nothing — reported as STALE. The guard
failed 100% of the time there, on both CI shards:

  ✖ scanRepo(repoRoot) matches the baseline exactly: zero fresh AND zero stale
    + { file: 'gsd-core\\workflows\\execute-plan.md', ... }

The remote runner this repo gates on is Linux-only and cannot see this class at
all; the GitHub Actions Windows lane is what caught it.

Normalization is unconditional — never gated on process.platform. A
platform-conditional normalizer makes the POSIX path the special case and
leaves the Windows branch unexercised on every other OS, which is the same
blind spot in a different place. It is applied at one seam inside
findPromptDrift, which builds `file` on every returned violation, so the
baseline key, the --update writer, the stderr report and the tests all consume
one normalized value.

The regression tests drive a Windows-shaped relPath directly and run on every
OS rather than skipping off-Windows — a test that only runs on the platform
where the bug lives is why this escaped. They include a sanity check that
un-normalized input does NOT match, so the assertion cannot pass vacuously.

Audited the three sibling guards: none keys against a committed cross-platform
baseline, and their exemption keys are path.join-built, so producer and
consumer share the native convention. Left correct code alone rather than
making them look alike. scripts/lib/drift-scan.cjs is untouched — normalizing
there would break those three on Windows.

636ec92107 refactor(#3185): phase enumeration has one owner and a decidable scope (#3222)
* test(#3185): failing-first phase-enumeration single-owner suite

Covers the enumeration rows with direct code evidence: 999.* backlog dirs
listed by progress/stats, the phase-0 sentinel divergence, the #1324
letter-prefixed-decimal negative space, and the destructive-path find —
cmdPhasesClear carries a fifth sentinel copy (/^999(?:\.|$)/) that excludes
999 but not 0, so a 0-* directory roadmap.analyze preserves is deleted there.

Also covers the pass-all degrade, which is where the defect actually lives:
when the milestone window declares no phases the filter becomes a literal
() => true and its heading-side sentinel exclusion is unreachable. A fixture
carrying phase headings keeps the filter active and never reaches that path.

Named for the derivation, not a module: the suite drives commands, phase,
milestone, workstream-inventory and state, and both the phase and
phase-locator buckets are already at the per-module test-file cap.

Committed alone so the remote runner records the failure before the fix.

* refactor(#3185): phase enumeration has one owner and a decidable scope

Adds phase-locator.cts::listMilestonePhaseDirs as the single canonical owner
of "which phase directories belong to the current milestone". It applies the
milestone window AND the sentinel filter and returns a ScopedResult, so a
caller can tell a genuinely-empty milestone from an enumeration that could
not be scoped.

The sentinel test now runs against DIRECTORY NAMES and is unconditional.
getMilestonePhaseFilter excludes sentinels from its ROADMAP heading set, but
degrades to a literal () => true pass-all predicate when that set is empty --
at which point the heading set is never consulted and its sentinel exclusion
is unreachable exactly when it is needed. That degrade is the #3167 path, and
it is why stats already used the filter and still listed backlog directories.
The narrowing is sentinel-only: pass-all stays over-inclusive otherwise.

Sentinel copies deleted, canonical isSentinelPhaseId adopted:
  - cmdRoadmapAnalyze's local closure (parseInt === 0 || === 999), 2 call sites
  - cmdPhasesClear's /^999(?:\.|$)/ -- the DESTRUCTIVE path, which excluded
    999 but not 0, so a 0-* directory roadmap.analyze preserves was deleted

cmdStats also seeded rows from ROADMAP headings with no sentinel filter, so a
999 heading produced a row with no directory; that seed is filtered now.

cmdPhasesList routes only its ENUMERATION. --phase lookup searches the
physical set (scoping it would report an out-of-window phase as not found) and
--include-archived still merges archived dirs (they are by definition from
other milestones). Both exempt by documented reason, never a file allowlist.

Fixed inline, found while building: isDirInMilestone could not match a #1324
letter-prefixed-decimal directory (P0.0-foundation) to its own Phase P0.0
heading, so stats reported the phase with plans: 0 while its directory held
plan files. Defers to phase-id's extractPhaseToken rather than widening a

workstream-inventory countRoadmapPhases counted every `Phase` heading across
the whole ROADMAP -- no window, no sentinel filter -- so it counted 999.*
backlog and Phase 0 and spanned every milestone the document ever had. Its own
caller already resolved a currentVersion and passed it to getMilestonePhaseFilter
elsewhere in the same file; this was the sibling copy that never got the fix.

state.cts phaseInventoryProvider enumerated phase dirs with its own
/^(\d+)-(.+)$/ convention regex and neither filter, so a rebuilt STATE.md
inventory carried backlog and sentinel directories as current-milestone phases.
A non-COMPLETE enumeration scope now throws to the outer catch as a real scan
failure rather than reporting a confident undercount, mirroring the per-phase
scanPhasePlans contract beside it.

* refactor(#3185): consolidate 23 sentinel re-derivations onto one predicate

The whole-repo drift guard (ADR-3180 Decision 4a, no file allowlist) found the
sentinel rule re-implemented 23 times across 8 modules, in three regex variants
plus four integer-comparison forms. Most tested 999 only, so Phase 0 slipped
through them while roadmap.analyze and the engine-wide convention (#1580) both
treat 0 and 999 alike. That disagreement is the defect class this epic removes.

All 23 now call phase-id's isSentinelPhaseId (SENTINEL_RANGES [0,999]). Sites:
init recommended-actions and backlog counts, milestone phase scan, the
phase-lifecycle progress table, phase.cts used-number collection and the four
renumber-on-remove guards, roadmap-parser's heading and bullet milestone
counts, roadmap get-phase fallbacks, and state's heading denominator.

Excluding Phase 0 at these sites is a deliberate behavior change and the point
of the consolidation — several carried comments already saying 0 should be
excluded while the literal beside them caught only 999.

Adds scripts/lint-phase-enumeration-drift.cjs, wired into lint:ci. It scans the
whole src/ tree with no file allowlist and reports both shapes: an independent
phases-dir enumeration, and an independent sentinel literal. Exemptions are
function-scoped with a written reason. The guard is comment-aware — its first
pass flagged JSDoc and a comment documenting that the code below uses the
canonical owner, which would have trained readers to exempt prose.

* refactor(#3185): resolve every phases-dir enumeration; drift guard reports zero

Per-site triage of the 31 remaining whole-repo guard hits, applying the rule
generalized from #3183's Amendment 1: a LOOKUP, DIAGNOSTIC, ARCHIVAL or
MUTATION pass wants the physical set; only "which phases belong to this
milestone" wants the scoped set.

Routed (10): init new-milestone phase_dir_count, init milestone-op fallback
count, init manager, init progress, milestone complete stats/dry-run/archive
move, phase complete's next-phase scan, state update-progress, state
frontmatter stats, and uat audit's active set.

Exempt with a written function-scoped reason (never a file allowlist): the
audit/UAT/verification sweeps that deliberately scan every directory to report
gaps, phase create/insert/rename/renumber mutations, single-phase lookups,
roadmap-upgrade's cross-milestone migration, cmdPhasesClear's whole-tree
destructive pass, and the reads that list a phase dir's FILES rather than
enumerating the phases dir at all.

Latent defects fixed by the routing: sentinel directories leaked into
cmdInitNewMilestone's phase_dir_count, cmdMilestoneComplete's stats, dry-run
AND ARCHIVE MOVE, cmdStateUpdateProgress, buildStateFrontmatter and
cmdAuditUat's active set — every one of those hand-rolled an isDirInMilestone
filter with no sentinel exclusion, so `milestone complete` was archiving
backlog directories.

scripts/lint-phase-enumeration-drift.cjs now reports 0 re-derivations and
npm run lint:ci is green.

Changeset fragment (Changed), CLI-TOOLS/COMMANDS/USER-GUIDE updates for the
scoped output of progress, stats, phases list, phases clear and milestone
complete, the CONTEXT.md Phase Locator glossary entry naming
listMilestonePhaseDirs, and ADR-3180 Amendment 3.

Amendment 3 records: the SCOPE contract held unchanged; the declared deviation
from Decision 1's provisional signature (the window needs cwd/ws, which the
locked roadmapContent parameter cannot supply); the copy count being a lower
bound for the third consecutive phase (4 scoped vs 54 found); the load-bearing
finding that the sentinel exclusion sat on the heading set and was unreachable
under the pass-all degrade; the two destructive-path defects; and the
generalized exemption rule.

* fix(#3185): wire scope to consumers; revert two wrong routings the suite caught

Review + remote runner findings, all fixed:

The three consumers computed the enumeration scope and threw it away, so
TRUNCATED/UNSCOPED/UNREADABLE collapsed into the same output as COMPLETE --
reproducing this epic's own output-identical-failure defect one layer up.
progress, stats and phases list now emit phase_scope (null on the phases list
--phase lookup path, which performs no enumeration).

Two routings were wrong and the suite proved it:

roadmap-parser's two milestone phase-count scans are reverted to the 999-only
literal. isSentinelPhaseId is BROADER than what it replaced: its legacy branch
runs /^0*(\d+)/ over "00.1", which backtracks to capture 0, so it read #2554's
decimal phase ids as sentinel milestone 0 and stopped counting them.

state.cts phaseInventoryProvider is reverted to the physical disk scan.
`state rebuild` is a RECONCILIATION pass -- scoping it made it throw on healthy
trees whose fixture resolves no window, swallowed the raw readdirSync fault
message #3057 B1 requires verbatim, and stopped it dropping orphan STATE.md
rows, which is the job.

Both are now function-scoped guard exemptions with written reasons, not
silent reverts. This is the consolidation trap named in the epic: a canonical
rule can cover MORE than the copy it replaces, and only real inputs show it.

Adds phases list coverage, a scope-branch test, and a drift-guard unit suite;
backports comment-awareness to the milestone-window and plan-count guards so
all three siblings share one false-positive profile; names #3161 alongside
#3167 in Amendment 3's subsumption record.

* fix(#3185): correct isSentinelPhaseId's decimal-zero misclassification

An isolated security review caught this branch committing the epic's own sin:
the over-broad predicate was worked around at ONE call site and left live at
the destructive ones.

isSentinelPhaseId's legacy branch ran /^0*(\d+)/, which backtracks so any id
whose leading digit run is all zeros before a non-digit captures 0 -- "0.1",
"00.1" and "0.2554" all read as sentinel milestone 0. Two pinned contracts
disagree with that: #2554 requires "00.1" to be counted as a real phase, and
the 999 icebox is a whole reserved milestone so "999.1" must stay sentinel.

The rule is asymmetric and now says so explicitly: 999 is sentinel with or
without a decimal part; 0 is sentinel only when bare. A decimal phase under
either is a real phase for 0 and reserved for 999, because 999 reserves a
MILESTONE while 0 reserves a PHASE.

Fixing the owner lets the earlier workaround go: getMilestonePhaseFilter's two
scans route through isSentinelPhaseId again and the guard exemption that
existed only to accommodate the defect is deleted. The state.cts cmdStateRebuild
exemption stays -- that one is a genuine reconciliation-wants-the-physical-set
case.

Also corrects tests/adr-612-bracket-grammar.test.cjs, which asserted
isSentinelPhaseId('0.1') === true and so had encoded the defect as expected
behavior.

* fix(#3185): keep isSentinelPhaseId's semantics — 0.x is layered, not wrong

Reverts the previous commit. The remote suite failed six tests proving it
wrong, and the reason is the sharpest finding of this phase.

An isolated security review observed that isSentinelPhaseId reads 0.1 and 00.1
as sentinel milestone 0 and judged that a defect against #2554. Correcting the
canonical predicate broke #2949. Both contracts are pinned and both are right,
because they ask different questions:

  #2554  is this dir part of the current milestone's phase SET?  -> count 00.1
  #2949  must this phase COMPLETE before the milestone closes?   -> 0.x sentinel

No single global predicate answers both. isSentinelPhaseId keeps its semantics
(0.x IS a sentinel, #2949), and the milestone-window layer keeps a narrower
999-only rule (#2554) as a function-scoped guard exemption with a written
reason — not a second silent copy.

That corrects how Decision 1 reads: "one owner per derivation" governs who
computes an answer, not how many questions share it. An over-broad canonical
rule is as much a defect as a divergent copy and fails worse, because it looks
like consolidation. Recorded in Amendment 3 as the lesson for Phases 4 and 5.

Where a review's inference about intent conflicts with a pinned contract, the
pinned contract wins; the finding is adjudicated, not fixed.

The boundary tables in the enumeration suite are corrected to assert 0.x IS a
sentinel, with the layering explained.

342590c70e refactor(#3184): milestone windowing has one owner and a decidable failure signal (#3209)
* test(#3184): failing-first milestone-window single-owner suite

Covers the 50 input classes in the phase test matrix: scope classification
(genuinely-empty vs truncated vs unscoped vs unreadable), the section-end
owner's level boundaries, consumer-output identity per ADR-3180 Decision 4(c),
the milestone.complete refusal with negative proof that no directory moved,
the version-token boundary defect, drift-guard behavior, and three fast-check
properties over document-shaped generators.

Committed alone so the remote runner records the failure before the fix lands.

* refactor(#3184): milestone windowing routes through one owner

Three copies of the milestone section-end walk lived in roadmap-parser.cts —
two distinct computeSectionEnd function nodes plus an inline third in
getMilestonePhaseFilter's versionOverride branch. computeMilestoneSectionEnd is
now the sole owner and the other two are deleted, not kept in sync by comment.

The whole-repo drift guard found what the epic did not: state.cts held three
more re-derivations of the same vocabulary — two byte-identical milestone
bounding checks carrying a defect neither reported copy has (no boundary after
the version token, so v2.0 matched inside v2.0.1), and a milestone-sectioning
predicate. All three route through the owner now.

A composition-level duplicate appeared inside this change's own first pass:
getMilestonePhaseFilter and cmdMilestoneComplete each re-assembled a window out
of the owner's primitives, and had already diverged on whether to skip a closed
milestone heading. sliceMilestoneWindow is the one composition.

Windows now carry the ADR-3180 SCOPE discriminator, so a truncated window is
distinguishable from a genuinely empty milestone — those were output-identical,
which is the whole failure class. roadmap analyze emits it (#3165), and
milestone complete refuses to archive on anything but COMPLETE rather than
pass-all moving every phase directory on disk (#3166). The pass-all degrade is
preserved where its premise holds: making the filter deny-all would trade a
silent over-inclusive answer for a silent under-inclusive one on the read paths
that count with it.

extractCurrentMilestone keeps its signature — 200+ affected symbols across 41
files and 25 process flows — and is a one-line wrapper over the scoped owner.

* fix(#3184): fence-aware phase detection and one heading-selection owner

Review fixes from the two orthogonal passes.

The blocker: hasPhaseEntries matched ATX phase headings fence-aware via
tokenizeHeadings but tested the #2199 bullet form against un-stripped markdown,
so a fenced EXAMPLE of the bullet syntax counted as a real phase. A genuinely
empty milestone then classified TRUNCATED and milestone complete refused a
legitimate archive — a false positive in the destructive direction, worse than
the defect this phase set out to fix. Both that path and getMilestonePhaseFilter
own pre-existing bullet scan now run on stripFencedCode, since leaving one meant
the owner file gave two different answers to the same question.

The selection rule — locate, prefer the non-closed heading, else the first — had
been written three more times inside the file whose thesis is single ownership.
selectMilestoneHeading owns it; all three sites route through it. The copies were
behaviorally identical, so this is de-duplication with no observable change,
verified by probing that all three paths select the same heading.

roadmap analyze emitting a scope no consumer read left #3165's actual symptom
alive, so Route 0 in next.md now treats a non-complete scope as scan-failed
rather than as a clean empty scan, and the ADR amendment no longer overstates
what shipped.

Also: the scope refusal moved above the archive-directory create, so a refusal
leaves nothing on disk; the versionOverride comment names all four consumers;
COMMANDS.md documents the new guard beside its sibling.

* test(#2658): exclude the changelog from the malformed-path scan

The gate walks every emitted .md/.js/.cjs file in an installed tree and asserts
none contains `.claude/.trae/rules` or `.trae/.trae/rules`. CHANGELOG.md ships
into that tree, and its #2658 entry quotes both malformed paths while describing
the fix that removed them — so the release note documenting the fix trips the
fix's own regression test. Red on next before this branch.

The installer is correct: a probe over a real --trae --local install found 621
emitted files, exactly one hit, and it was gsd-core/CHANGELOG.md. The scan scope
was the defect, not the product.

Excluded by exact relative path rather than by loosening the patterns or skipping
all markdown — the emitted agent and command markdown is precisely what #2658 was
about, so the gate stays strong everywhere it matters.

* test(#3184): regenerate install-tree fixtures for the shared drift scanner

scripts/lib/ ships in the npm package and installer, so extracting the shared
tree-walk into scripts/lib/drift-scan.cjs adds one path to every runtime's
install tree. Regenerated via npm run gen:install-tree; the delta is exactly
that one path per fixture.

The two drift guards themselves do not ship (scripts/lint-*.cjs is excluded),
so only the extracted library moves. This matches the existing
scripts/lib/allowlist-ratchet.cjs precedent, which is likewise a lint-only
helper carried in the shipped tree.

* fix(#3184): restore the #730 sub-milestone boundary and narrow the refusal

The remote runner caught two regressions this branch introduced. Both were mine,
and neither review pass found them — only running the existing suite did.

The version-token boundary. I replaced locateMilestoneHeadings' \b with
(?![\w.-]), reasoning that v2.0 matching inside v2.0.1 was the same defect #2562
fixed in isMilestoneShippedInRoadmap. It is not the same question. A milestone
state of v8.0 legitimately selects the '## v8.0-B' sub-milestone section over a
closed v8.0-A sibling (#730), and \b is what allows it while the stricter
boundary forbids it — nine tests in roadmap-phase-fallback said so. Reverted to
\b; the state.cts consolidation is now a straight merge with no behavior change,
and the v2.0/v2.0.1 ambiguity is left exactly as it was. The ADR amendment and
the design doc no longer claim otherwise.

The refusal scope. I refused whenever the window was not COMPLETE, but #3166 is
about the TRUNCATED window specifically — the heading is found and the section
closes before the phase region, so pass-all archives everything. UNREADABLE and
UNSCOPED are pre-existing, legitimately handled states, and refusing on them
broke 'handles missing ROADMAP.md gracefully' and three archive tests. Narrowed
to TRUNCATED; docs corrected to match.

One of the new tests was also wrong: its fixture gave the shipped and current
milestones' phases the same numeric id, and the filter matches on that id, so it
could not have distinguished the two windows. Fixture corrected to exercise what
it claims to.

* fix(#3184): enumerate drift-scan.cjs for uninstall

The installer copies scripts/lib/ wholesale, but uninstall removes an explicit
set — deliberately, so a user's own helpers in that directory survive. The
extracted drift-scan.cjs was copied in and never enumerated, so it outlived
uninstall, left the directory non-empty, and the rmdir that follows failed.

Added to GSD_SCRIPTS_LIB_FILES, following allowlist-ratchet.cjs, which is
likewise a lint-only helper that ships there and is enumerated. Verified with a
real install-then-uninstall into a temp target: scripts/lib/ held exactly the
three GSD files and was gone afterwards.

* test(#3184): assert install and uninstall agree on scripts/lib and scripts/changeset

Found while shipping this phase, and fixed here rather than noted.

install() copies scripts/lib/ and scripts/changeset/ into the target WHOLESALE —
the comment at the copy site literally says "and any future lib helpers".
uninstall() removes them by hardcoded enumeration, deliberately, so a user's own
helpers in those directories survive. A wholesale writer paired with an
enumerated remover cannot stay in sync by construction: any file added to either
directory ships to every user and is then orphaned in their repo forever, since
it survives uninstall, leaves the directory non-empty, and the rmdir that follows
fails. Nothing reported this. 31,225 tests were green over it.

That is the same divergence class this epic exists to delete, sitting in the
installer, so it gets the same remedy CLAUDE.md prescribes for it: a parity
assertion that fails the moment the two surfaces disagree. The test compares each
directory's real contents against its enumeration and names the offending file
plus the constant to add it to.

Both enumerations are hoisted to module scope and exported, so the test asserts
on the actual arrays rather than pattern-matching the installer's source — no
allow-test-rule annotation needed. Proven non-vacuous both ways: empty diff on
the current tree, correct report when an unenumerated file is injected.

scripts/changeset/ turned out to carry the identical defect and is covered too.

343835facc refactor(#3183): route live-plan counting through scanPhasePlans (#3199)
* refactor(#3183): route live-plan counting through scanPhasePlans

scanPhasePlans becomes the sole owner of the live-plan derivation. Twenty-one
independent re-derivations across seven modules now route through it, and
scripts/lint-plan-count-drift.cjs reports zero, scanning the whole repo rather
than an allowlist (ADR-3180 Decision 4a).

The epic scoped this at three copies. A whole-repo guard found twenty-six sites
across nine files, so Phase 1 absorbs every live-plan re-derivation and Phase 3
narrows to window plus sentinel enumeration.

Two sites are exempt with a documented reason rather than a bare allowlist:
audit.cts scans one quick task's own directory for a single completion record,
and gsd2-import.cts reads a foreign GSD-2 tasks/ layout during a one-time
import. Neither is a phase directory.

scanPhasePlans gains allPlanFiles (pre-supersession) alongside planFiles so one
owner answers both questions: verify.cts's numbering-gap check wants every plan
on disk, its pairing check wants the live set. Both fields are additive.

Highest-severity fix: cmdPhasePlanIndex, which feeds execute-phase wave
scheduling, was scheduling status:superseded plans into waves and reporting zero
plans for the post-#3139 nested layout.

filterPlanFiles and filterSummaryFiles are deleted; getPhaseFileStats orphaned
them and only their own tests still called them.

New leaf module src/planning-scope.cts carries the frozen SCOPE discriminator,
with its six-gate ripple closed: gitignore, inventory manifest, INVENTORY.md and
the CONTEXT.md glossary.

The contract held; the phase boundary did not. The whole-repo drift guard found
26 re-derivations across 9 files against the epic's estimate of 3, and
cmdProgressRender re-derives both enumeration and plan counting on adjacent
lines, so DW4 was unsatisfiable within Phase 1's original file scope.

Records the amended scope, scanPhasePlans's new allPlanFiles field,
findOrphanSummaries, the two documented exemptions, the re-derived Tier-2
table, and the describeNonCanonicalPlans trap for later phases.

* fix(#3183): complete the canonical pairing rule and gate the naming diagnostic

The remote runner went red with 13 deterministic failures on both lanes,
and they were right: replacing verify.cts's canonicalPlanStem pairing with
summaryCandidates dropped a case the bespoke rule covered. A plan carrying a
descriptive slug after its id (68-01-scaffolding-PLAN.md) pairs with its
canonical-stem summary (68-01-SUMMARY.md), and summaryCandidates generated no
such candidate, so the plan read unsummarized.

The fix is to complete the one rule rather than restore a second:
summaryCandidates gains a canonical-id candidate, narrowed to fire only when an
id pair was actually extracted. countMatchedSummaries, findUnsummarizedPlans
and findOrphanSummaries all inherit it. The two-plans-one-summary collision
behaviour of the original rule is preserved deliberately and documented in
place.

Second defect, independently root-caused while verifying: routing the #2893
naming diagnostic through scanPhasePlans exposed it to the loose /PLAN/i
fallback, which is correct for counting and wrong for a naming check — a
non-canonically-named file was accepted as a valid plan and the diagnostic
went silent. cmdPhasesList, cmdFindPhase and cmdPhasePlanIndex now intersect
with a strict isCanonicalPlanFile predicate before reporting names.

Same class as the describeNonCanonicalPlans trap already recorded in ADR-3180:
a question about file naming wants the physical, strictly-matched set; only a
question about outstanding work wants the live set.

five of the six .cts ripple gates - gitignore, inventory manifest, INVENTORY.md

* fix(#3183): replace the plan-count drift detector with a literal tokenizer

CodeQL reported 4 high-severity js/redos alerts on REGEX_LITERAL_MD_RE, the
backtracking regex that finds "a regex literal mentioning PLAN/SUMMARY and an
escaped \.md". Five review rounds found it had two defects, not one:

  - EXPONENTIAL, then CUBIC. Its "any char" atom `(?:\\.|[^/\r\n])` let a `\.`
    pair be consumed either as one escape or as two class characters, which is
    exponential backtracking: 27,464ms on `"/\.mdplan" + "\.".repeat(28) + "X"`.
    Excluding `\` from the class killed that but left a cubic path — 23ms at
    N=200, 172ms at N=400, 1362ms at N=800 on `"/" + "PLAN\.md".repeat(N)` with
    no closing `/`. This guard is the last stage of `npm run lint:ci`, which CI
    runs on fork pull requests, so a crafted src/*.cts could stall the job.
  - A DETECTION HOLE. A character class holding a bare, unescaped `/` — e.g.
    `/SUMMARY[^/]*\.md$/`, an ordinary path-excluding filter — terminated the
    literal at that `/`, so the scan never reached `\.md` and the guard missed
    it entirely. (Classes holding an ESCAPED `\/` were already matched; the
    tests cover those separately as parity, not as regressions.)

Both defects have one root cause: regex-literal grammar — `\x` escapes, and
`/` inside `[...]` not terminating — is not expressible in a backtracking
regex. So the detector is now a tokenizer, not a regex.

readRegexLiteralAt reads the literal at a given `/` in a single left-to-right
pass with no backtracking, treating escapes as two-character units and
suppressing the `/` terminator inside a character class. findRegexLiteralMdMatch
restarts it at every `/` on the line, preserving the old "find anywhere"
behaviour; MAX_REGEX_LITERAL_LEN (400) bounds each read — including the
trailing-flag scan — which keeps the whole-line cost linear.

Results: cubic shape flat at 0.06-0.39ms out to N=3200 (25KB), exponential
shape 0.01ms at 28 reps and 0.00ms at 64, and the bare-`/` class shapes are now
caught. Differential against the old regex over 28,474 lines (those matching
FILENAME_TEST_RE but not PLAN_SUMMARY_LITERAL_RE, across src/tests/scripts/
gsd-core/bin/eslint-rules, excluding 265 lines with >6 backslashes on which the
old regex hangs): 6 differences, all the tokenizer returning the fuller or
newly-correct literal, 0 old-only misses. The `\.md` token stays
case-insensitive, matching the `/i` the old regex carried.

Also closes three holes in the same new file:

  - walk() tested entry.isFile(), false for a symlink, so a symlinked
    src/*.cts was silently unscanned — an evasion of a guard whose stated
    principle (ADR-3180 Decision 4a) is whole-repo discovery with no allowlist.
    It now resolves symlinks, but confined: file links must resolve inside the
    repo root, directory links inside the scanned dir itself. Every sibling
    drift guard in scripts/ uses the Dirent classification and never follows
    links, so following them unconfined would have made this the only linter
    able to read outside the tree — on fork PRs an arbitrary out-of-repo read
    whose matched fragments reach a public CI log. The narrower directory rule
    additionally stops `src/up -> ..` from sweeping the whole repo, and the
    skip list is now checked against resolved paths so `src/g -> ../.git`
    cannot reach .git/** or node_modules/**. Real paths are de-duplicated and
    files reported canonically, so a symlink alias cannot shift which
    FUNCTION_SCOPED_EXEMPTIONS key applies.
  - Both the reported fragment and the reported FILE PATH are attacker-
    controlled source text written straight to a CI log, and git permits
    control bytes in a filename. Both are now escaped — C0/C1/DEL plus the
    bidi and zero-width controls — so a crafted literal or filename cannot
    recolour the log, overwrite a line with CR, or fabricate a line that looks
    like this guard's own success output.

Regression coverage in tests/plan-count-single-owner.test.cjs: a child-process
probe over both pathological shapes (catastrophic backtracking is synchronous
and would freeze the suite rather than fail one test), the bare-`/` class
shapes verified to fail against the parent-commit blob, root-confinement tests
covering the outside-file, outside-directory, cycle, broken-link and duplicate
cases, direct isInsideRoot coverage including the sibling-prefix case that a
bare startsWith would let through, sanitizeForReport coverage, and
limit-1/limit/limit+1 coverage of MAX_REGEX_LITERAL_LEN derived from the
exported constant. The earlier structural assertion was dropped — it checked
for the substring `[^/`, which respelling the class as `[^\r\n/]` defeats
while staying exponential.

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

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

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

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

Closes #3149

0e6fa2e2cf enhance(#3118): close the dead injectables and the shell projection follow-on — Wave 4 (#3124)
* test(#3118): failing-first coverage for the dead injectables and the shell projection

Adds the counter-tests Wave 4 closes against, before any fix:

- antigravityWatermark had zero test references. The four existing tests
  that look like watermark coverage hand the fallback a literal mark and
  never call the producer, so nothing pinned whether a real run's mark is
  correct. Covers all six branches plus the non-object cache classes.
- Pins the fail-open: a transcript read that throws reports lines:0,
  indistinguishable from a genuinely empty transcript, and the consumer
  then replays a previous run's review as this run's.
- Pins the export-line escaping across the repair, persist and win32 bash
  lanes, including the parity assertion that they must not diverge.
- sliceCurrentPositionSection: empty-vs-absent, fenced heading, second
  occurrence, H3, CRLF.
- Proves deps.progressProvider is inert by supplying a throwing stub to
  all ten transition intents.

Verification through the remote runner only.

Refs #3118

* fix(#3118): distinguish an unreadable transcript from an empty one

antigravityWatermark's final read can throw on a transcript that
indisputably exists. It returned lines:0, which is the same value a
genuinely empty transcript produces, so the caller could not tell the
two apart.

antigravityTranscriptFallback derives its skip from that count. A mark
of {convId:'c1', lines:0} for a conversation that pre-dates the run
makes it skip nothing and return the last PLANNER_RESPONSE in a
transcript written before this run started — a previous review
presented as this one's, which is exactly what the function's own
'never stale' docstring promises cannot happen.

The unreadable case now sets unreadable:true and the fallback declines
for a same-conv-id unreadable mark. An absent or empty transcript is
untouched: those genuinely have zero prior lines.

* fix(#3118): escape the export line for the file it lands in, not the echo

Three lanes emit export PATH="<dir>:$PATH". repair escaped it with
escapePosixDoubleQuoted; persist and the win32 Git Bash lane escaped it
with escapeSingleQuotedShellLiteral instead.

The single-quoting is correct for the echo, so nothing runs when the
user pastes the command. But the bytes appended to ~/.bashrc are the
export line itself, and inside double quotes in an rc file a $(...) or
a backtick in the directory name is command substitution that runs on
every new shell. Those characters are legal in a path on both POSIX and
Windows, so the path was reachable.

projectPathExportLine is now the single source of that line and escapes
for its final rc-file context; each lane still applies its own transport
escaping on top. fish keeps the single-quote escaper — its value really
does stay single-quoted.

The cmd.exe lane interpolated into a cmd double-quoted string with no
cmd-level escaping, so a quote closed the region and &cmd& ran. A quote
is reserved on Windows and cannot appear in a real path, so there is no
correct command to suggest: the win32 lanes now fail closed for one.

Metacharacter-free paths render byte-identically on every lane.

* fix(#3118): drop a stray carriage return and a deps field nobody reads

locateCurrentPosition subtracted a fixed one byte to exclude the newline
before the next heading, which assumes LF. On a CRLF document the slice
kept an unpaired trailing carriage return. It now walks back over the
newline and over a preceding carriage return if there is one.

StateTransitionDeps also required a progressProvider that 33 sites
supplied and no site ever called. A required field nothing reads widens
the module's interface without changing its implementation, which is the
shape epic #3051 cites as its reason for refusing blanket injection.
Removed along with the ProgressRecord alias that existed only as its
return type; state-document.cts's unrelated interface of the same name
is untouched.

* fix(#3118): stop an empty span duplicating bytes, and name the empty results

Three findings from the isolated review pass.

locateCurrentPosition could return end < start when the section was
empty and the next heading followed with no blank line between. Every
mutator splices with slice(0,start) + body + slice(end), so an inverted
span duplicated the region between them — a blank line silently
inserted into STATE.md on every transition, two bytes on CRLF. The span
is now clamped, and an empty section is a zero-length span, which is
what it always meant.

The win32 fail-closed path left the installer printing 'Add it with one
of:' with nothing under it. An empty shellActions folded two different
facts together, so projectPathActionProjection now carries a frozen
PATH_ACTION_REASON and the installer branches on it. Two empty results
with different causes staying distinguishable is the subject of the
epic this belongs to.

fish_add_path parses a leading dash as an option, so a directory named
-v printed 'No paths to add' instead of being added. Verified against
fish 4.8.1: the end-of-options separator fixes it.

Replaces the console-prose test the second fix first arrived with — a
regex over captured stdout is what CONTRIBUTING prohibits, and the
typed reason is the surface it asks for instead.

* fix(#3118): escape TOML control characters, and stop a test name overstating

Five findings from the two review axes.

escapeTomlDoubleQuotedString escaped only backslash and quote. TOML
basic strings also require U+0000-U+0008, U+000A-U+001F and U+007F to be
escaped, so a value carrying a raw newline or NUL wrote a config.toml no
parser accepts — rejecting the whole file, not just that value. Four of
its call sites write real config. Tab stays raw; the grammar exempts it.

The byte-identity test claimed every lane was unchanged for an ordinary
path, which is false: fish now takes the end-of-options separator on
every path, not only hostile ones. Renamed, and the one intended delta
now has its own named test instead of hiding inside a claim that read
as broader than it was.

Also: exact-equality assertions in place of substring checks that could
pass on a subtly wrong escape, newline and null-byte cases for all five
quoting primitives, and a temp dir registered with t.after so it is
removed when an assertion fails.

* docs(#3118): add the changeset fragments

* fix(#3118): degrade instead of throwing on a null conversation cache

A cache file whose whole content is the literal null — what a truncated
or zeroed write leaves behind — made both antigravityWatermark and
antigravityTranscriptFallback throw. JSON.parse('null') succeeds, so the
try/catch wrapping the parse never fired, and resolveConvId then called
hasOwnProperty on null.

Both functions advertise the opposite; the existing test next to them is
named 'a missing cache or transcript degrades to empty, never throws'.
Parsing successfully is not the same fact as the payload being usable,
and a guard that only wraps the parse cannot tell them apart.

resolveConvId is now total for any non-object input, so one guard covers
both callers. Caught by the null case in this wave's own cache matrix.

* test(#3118): correct a stale fish expectation and a parity comparison

The pre-existing 'POSIX persist mode escapes single quotes' test pinned
fish_add_path without the end-of-options separator this wave adds, so it
asserted behavior that is no longer correct. A repo-wide scan found one
such hardcoded expectation; every other site derives its expectation
from the projection.

The new parity test compared the token from a POSIX path against the
win32 lane, which posix-normalizes its input first — two different
inputs, so the tokens differed for a reason that had nothing to do with
the parity it claims to check. It now derives the win32 expectation from
the same input the lane receives.

* docs(#3118): reword a comment the injection scanner reads as an instruction

The scanner pattern act\s+as\s+(?:a|an|the)\s+ carries no word
boundary, so 'the same fact as the payload' matched on the tail of
'fact'. Reworded per the documented remedy for this collision.

The missing boundary is a scanner defect rather than a prose problem —
any contributor writing 'fact as the' trips it — but the pattern is
gate plumbing, which the sibling epic owns, so it is surfaced rather
than changed here.

* chore(#3118): backfill changeset pr number to 3124

* chore(#3118): backfill changeset pr number to 3124

* fix(#2784): make the negation scan single-pass and index it correctly

Three defects in the negation suppression added by #3127, all in one
block, none of which had a test.

The pair scan was verbs.some(nouns.some(...)) with a slice and a split
per pair, so it grew cubically with clause length: 1.1ms before that PR
and 8462ms after, on 800 verb+noun pairs in one clause. api-coverage's
property test generates documents large enough to reach the runner's
600s file cap, which is why it hangs as 'fail 0, cancelled 1' rather
than failing an assertion. Every (verb, noun) window is a subset of the
single widest one, so one scan of that window answers the same question
in a linear pass. Verified equivalent against the old predicate over
20,000 generated clauses.

Both checks also subtracted clause.start from offsets that collectTerm-
Matches already returns clause-local. The first clause on a line has
start 0 so it worked there and nowhere else: later clauses went
negative, and slice reads a negative index from the end, so suppression
silently examined unrelated text.

The comment claimed 'without any API integration' was suppressed. It is
not — the qualifier sits outside the two-word lookback and the noun
precedes the verb. Widening the window would trade a false positive
that costs one declaration line for a false negative that slips a real
integration past a blocking gate, so the behavior stands and the
comment now says so. Pinned by a test.

The qualifier sets were also rebuilt for every line of every document.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

137f3fbb9c fix(#2562): scope workstream progress/status to the current milestone (#2588)
* fix(#2562): scope workstream progress/status to the current milestone

`workstream progress` / `workstream status` / `workstream list` share one
derivation that could report a workstream's CURRENT milestone as
"milestone complete" / 100% while phases in that milestone were unstarted,
in progress, or failing verification. Three coupled defects:

1. The shipped signal was project-lifetime, not milestone-scoped:
   workstreamMilestoneShipped() returned true if ANY *-ROADMAP.md snapshot
   existed or "SHIPPED" appeared anywhere in ROADMAP.md. Every prior shipped
   milestone leaves a permanent collapsed <summary>✅ … SHIPPED</summary>
   block, so any post-v1.0 workstream was pinned to "milestone complete"
   forever (over-correction from #1913).
2. The denominator dropped declared-but-unscaffolded phases, and completed
   PRIOR-milestone phase directories inflated the numerator, letting
   progress_percent round to 100 while real work remained.
3. Phase completeness ignored the VERIFICATION verdict — SUMMARY >= PLAN
   count alone marked a phase complete even with a human_needed verdict.

Fix: derive both numerator and denominator from artifacts scoped to the
current milestone. The current version comes from the workstream STATE.md
`milestone:` field (ROADMAP in-progress markers can be stale); the ROADMAP
`## Progress` table maps every phase — including dirless ones — to its
milestone, and the matching set is both the denominator and the directory
membership filter. The shipped signal now requires the CURRENT version's
archived ROADMAP snapshot (REQUIREMENTS snapshots are not accepted; they can
be written at milestone start) or the current milestone's own line marked
shipped. Phases with an explicit failing verdict (gaps_found/human_needed)
count as in_progress; missing/unknown/stale are left untouched so
verifier-disabled projects do not regress to never-complete.

Greenfield roadmaps with no versioned Progress table, and projects whose
current version cannot be determined, keep the prior behaviour.

* refactor(#2562): parse the Progress table via findTableWithColumns

The ad-hoc pipe-table regex tripped the local/no-adhoc-markdown-parsing
ESLint rule. Use the canonical markdown-table helper instead: the
milestone-grouped RoadmapProgress variant is located by its required
`Phase` + `Milestone` columns and cells are addressed by column NAME,
so the parser tolerates column reordering and injected columns. The
`flat` variant (no Milestone column) yields no attribution, which is
the intended fallback to legacy counting.

Behaviour is unchanged: verified against a real multi-workstream project
(same status/percent/phase and plan counts before and after).

* fix(#2562): count table-only phases in the unscoped denominator

Addresses the reporter's repro detail: a phase declared as a `## Progress`
table row with no `### Phase N` heading is missed by countRoadmapPhases
EVEN WHEN other headings exist — the heading regex counts 1 for a
"1 heading + 1 table-only" roadmap — not just in the zero-heading fallback
path. Milestone scoping did not cover this, because a flat Progress table
(no Milestone column) carries no per-phase attribution, so greenfield and
single-milestone projects kept the old heading-only denominator and the
declared phase silently vanished from it.

When milestone scoping cannot engage, the denominator is now the union of
the Progress table's declared phase numbers and the phase directories, so
neither source can shrink it. Verified against the reporter's minimal
fixture (phase 1: 1 PLAN + 1 SUMMARY + gaps_found; phase 2: table row only,
no heading, no dir), which now reports 0/2 at 0% across all four
table/STATE permutations instead of 1/1 at 100%.

* fix(#2562): attribute dir-only sub-phases to their parent's milestone

A sub-phase directory inserted mid-milestone (e.g. `30.1-…` under a
table-declared phase 30) usually has no ROADMAP Progress-table row, so it
had no milestone attribution and was scoped out of the rollup entirely —
its completed work was invisible and it could never hold the percentage
below 100.

It now inherits its parent phase's milestone and joins BOTH sides of the
calculation. Both sides is the load-bearing part: adding it to the
numerator alone would let completed_phases exceed a denominator that never
counted it, cap back to 100% via Math.min, and reintroduce exactly the
defect this issue reports. A regression test pins that failure mode (all
declared phases complete + an in-progress dir-only sub-phase → 75%, not
100%).

Attribution is deliberately one-directional: a sub-phase counts only when
its PARENT is in the current milestone, so a follow-up created in a later
milestone under an older parent is excluded rather than misattributed —
conservative (under-count) rather than falsely inflating.

Verified on a real project: the reported workstream moves from 2/6 (33%)
to 3/7 (43%), the 3/7 being the honest figure — a completed sub-phase that
was previously invisible now counts, and so does its plan total.

* docs(#2562): describe the denominator + sub-phase fixes in the changeset

The fragment was written at the first commit and only covered the three
original defects. Bring it up to date with what actually ships: the
table-only-phase denominator union (heading-only counting dropped a
declared phase even when other headings existed) and sub-phase milestone
inheritance across both sides of the calculation.

* refactor(#2562): promote the canonical phase-key surface to phase-id

state.cts kept `phaseKeyFromToken`/`phaseKeyFromDir` private, so every other
module that had to compare two independently-derived phase references — a
ROADMAP table cell against a phase directory, say — wrote its own regex. That
is the defect class #2562 reports: a padded `01` and an unpadded `1-slug` land
in different key spaces and the comparison silently yields nothing.

Move the pair to the phase-id owner module and add `phaseKeyFromProse` (for
ROADMAP/STATE prose, markdown emphasis stripped) and `parentPhaseKey` (a
sub-phase's parent). state.cts imports them; its call sites are unchanged.

* fix(#2562): own milestone-shipped detection and accept a workstream scope

Three changes to the module that owns milestone parsing, so its consumers stop
reimplementing it:

- `isMilestoneShippedInRoadmap(content, version)` answers "does the ROADMAP mark
  THIS milestone shipped" from heading and `<summary>` lines only. A bullet that
  merely names the version (`- [x] 03-01: ship the v2.0 login endpoint`) is prose
  about a phase, not a milestone verdict. The version token is boundary-matched
  with `(?![\w.-])` — `\b` does not bound it, since `.` is a non-word character,
  so a shipped `v2.0.1` heading would otherwise close `v2.0`.
- `extractCurrentMilestone` and `getMilestonePhaseFilter` take an optional
  trailing workstream name and thread it to `planningDir(cwd, ws)`. A caller
  iterating workstreams cannot set `GSD_WORKSTREAM` per iteration, which is what
  the existing resolution falls back to. Omitted, resolution is unchanged.
- `getMilestonePhaseFilter` exposes `versionScoped`, true only when the phase set
  really is one milestone's. On an unversioned roadmap `phaseCount` spans the
  project's lifetime and must not be read as a current-milestone denominator.

The closed/active milestone-marker patterns were kept in three byte-identical
copies; they are hoisted to module scope as one `isClosedMilestoneHeading`.

* fix(#2562): derive membership and denominator from one phase-key space

The milestone scoping added earlier in this PR derived the ROADMAP table key and
the phase-directory key with two different regexes, and dropped rows it could not
attribute. Each of those was another way to reproduce the symptom this issue
reports — a rollup contradicting its own `phases[]` listing:

- a padded `| 01. … |` row never matched a `1-slug` directory (and a bespoke
  `^0*(\d+…)` never matched `PROJ-05-…` at all), so phases fell out of the
  milestone entirely and the percentage collapsed or pinned;
- a blank or malformed Milestone cell deleted the phase from BOTH sides, letting
  an unstarted phase vanish and the remainder round to 100%;
- shipped detection scanned bullets, so any checkmarked line naming the version
  closed the milestone;
- the numerator counted per-directory while the denominator counted distinct
  phases, so a stale same-numbered directory (Bug #2445's scenario) pushed
  `completed_phases` past the denominator, where `Math.min` capped it to 100%
  and hid the unstarted phase.

Both sides now key off the phase-id owner module (`phaseKeyFromDir` /
`phaseKeyFromProse`), directory membership additionally consults
`getMilestonePhaseFilter` when that filter is genuinely version-scoped, and the
denominator is the union of the roadmap's declarations with the member
directories' keys — so `completed_phases <= denominator` holds by construction.
The Builder asserts it and throws; the `Math.min` cap survives only on the legacy
unscoped path, where the denominator is a heading count that cannot bound the
numerator. An unattributable row degrades over-inclusively (kept, never dropped),
matching the degrade direction roadmap-parser already commits to.

* test(#2562): boundary coverage for each milestone-scoping reproduction

One test per way the scoping could still report "milestone complete"/100% while
phases are incomplete: zero-padded rows vs padded dirs (and the mirror),
project-code-prefixed dirs, a blank/malformed Milestone cell, a checkmarked
bullet naming the version, a shipped `v2.0.1` heading against a current `v2.0`,
and a stale same-numbered directory. Plus the current milestone's own shipped
heading (the signal must survive the boundary fix), the Builder's
numerator-above-denominator throw, a parity check that every non-`passed`
verifier status blocks completeness, and a guard that scoping reads the
workstream's ROADMAP rather than the project root's.

Reverting only `src/` reddens six of them.

* docs(#2562): record the milestone-scoped semantics and its consumer impact

CONTEXT.md: the Workstream Inventory Module's completion fields now describe the
current milestone, not the workstream's lifetime; phase-id owns the canonical
phase-key surface; roadmap-parser owns milestone shipped/active classification
and takes an optional workstream scope.

Changeset: name the behaviour change explicitly — `roadmap_phase_count`,
`completed_phases` and `progress_percent` change meaning with no schema signal,
and `getOtherActiveWorkstreamInventories` filters on the derived status, so
consumers see real movement.

* fix(#2562): collapse every zero-padding spelling to one phase key

A property test over the key surface — table cell and directory decorated
INDEPENDENTLY, which is the point — found a divergence neither review named:
`padStart(2, '0')` is a no-op once the input is already ≥2 characters, so `5`
normalised to `05` while `005` stayed `005`. A `| 5. … |` row and a `005-slug`
directory therefore never compared equal, which is the same failure mode as the
padded-vs-unpadded blocker, one level down.

The strip belongs in `phaseKeyFromToken`, not in `normalizePhaseName`: applying
it to the latter regressed multi-decimal leading-zero plan IDs (`001.10-PLAN.md`
capture + wave assignment), which rely on its verbatim rendering. Confining it
to the key surface fixes the comparison and leaves rendering untouched.

Also tightens `isMilestoneShippedInRoadmap`'s patterns to anchored,
complementary character classes so an untrusted ROADMAP cannot drive
backtracking, and makes the project-code test discriminating — it previously
passed pre-fix, because an unresolvable key collapsed scoping to the whole
roadmap and happened to land on the same number. It now carries a
prior-milestone directory that a collapse would wrongly admit.

* fix(#2562): prefer the milestone-attributing Progress table; pin the seams

Three gaps the earlier self-check missed:

- Both RoadmapProgress variants carry a `Plans Complete` column, so probing it
  first picked a FLAT table appearing earlier in the document over the
  milestone-grouped one that actually carries the attribution. Every row came
  back unattributed, was treated as current-milestone, and silently re-admitted
  prior-milestone phases. The attributing shape is probed first; flipping the
  order reddens the new test.
- `lint-phase-id-drift` exempts phase-id.cts by design, so it is silent on
  `phaseKeyFromToken`'s own segment strip by construction — not evidence. Its
  interaction with `stripProjectCodePrefix` (which runs AFTER) is pinned across
  project codes and hyphenated ids, including the pre-existing `M1-46-6` vs
  `M1-46-6-rs` asymmetry, which is `extractPhaseToken`'s #2043/#2232 slug-word
  rule and not something to "fix" by accident.
- `listWorkstreamInventories` loops every workstream with no try/catch, so a
  REACHABLE Builder-invariant throw would take down `workstream list`/`status`/
  `progress` for all of them. The invariant test only exercised the pure Builder
  with hand-built inputs. A test now drives `inspectWorkstream` over every
  adversarial shape at once (prior-milestone dirs, three colliding duplicates,
  a dirless declaration, an unattributed row, a project-code prefix, a dir-only
  sub-phase) and asserts it does not throw and the invariant holds — so the
  throw stays a contract assertion for external callers, not a runtime path.

Also covers the active-marker-wins rule (`## v2.0 — 🚧 IN PROGRESS … ✅` must not
mark shipped), which nothing exercised.

* fix(#2562): scope a declared-but-empty current milestone instead of falling back to history

The review's open MAJOR. `STATE.md`'s `milestone:` field updates the moment
`/gsd-new-milestone` writes the heading, while the `## Progress` table and phase
sections land later. In that window nothing attributes a phase to the current
milestone, `scoped` went false, and the fallback counted the project's ENTIRE
phase history as both numerator and denominator — a milestone with zero work
done reported 100% off its predecessors'. That is #2562's own symptom reached by
a different precondition, and none of the 16 tests covered it.

Reproduced first, four ROADMAP shapes, at `inspectWorkstream` rather than the
Builder — the Builder takes the scoping decision as an input, so a Builder-level
test proves it honours a flag, not that the derivation sets it. Three of the
four reported 2/2 100% with no phase of the current milestone begun.

Which signal witnesses the state depends on the ROADMAP's shape, and no single
one covers all three:

- `## v3.0` exists but declares no phases. `getMilestonePhaseFilter` DOES locate
  the section and sets `versionScoped`, then the zero-phase pass-all degrade
  resets it to false — erasing the only evidence the milestone exists. Neither
  existing flag survives that path, so this adds `versionSectionFound`, set
  beside `versionScoped` and deliberately preserved through the degrade.
- No section for this version at all, in a roadmap that versions its others —
  the existing `missingExplicitVersion`, already exposed and tested.
- Unversioned headings, but a Progress table attributing every row elsewhere:
  neither filter flag fires and the table is the only witness.

A ROADMAP that attributes NO versions anywhere matches none of them, which is
the point. Its rows parse with `version: null`, land in `currentMilestoneKeys`,
and never reach the new branch. `readCurrentMilestoneVersion` returns a non-null
version for very nearly every project (`getMilestoneInfo` defaults to `v1.0`),
so keying off `currentVersion` alone would have zeroed out every free-form
legacy project — the condition looks fussy for that reason. A test pins it.

Within an empty milestone, membership inverts: a directory belongs unless
another milestone's row claims it. Excluding everything would have dropped a
phase scaffolded before the roadmap caught up from BOTH sides of the rollup, and
hiding real work is the same class of defect as inventing it — this codebase
degrades over-inclusive, never under.

Scoping is now stated by the caller (`milestoneScoped`) rather than inferred
from `currentMilestonePhaseCount > 0`. That inference was the root cause: it
cannot represent a milestone that is scoped AND legitimately zero-phase, so the
Builder read "no phases yet" as "no scoping" and reopened the whole-history
path. The count-derived value stays the default for callers that say nothing.

A regression test also pins that a zero denominator does not trip the Builder's
`completed_phases <= denominator` throw, since `listWorkstreamInventories` has
no try/catch and a crash on every freshly-declared milestone would be worse than
a wrong percentage.

The changeset and CONTEXT.md no longer claim membership is derived in "ONE" /
"a SINGLE" phase-key space. `getMilestonePhaseFilter` still runs its own
`normalizePhaseIdSegments`; the signals are OR'd so a divergence can only widen
membership, but two normalisers coexist and the docs now say so.

* fix(#2562): cross-validate the shipped marker against the milestone's artifacts

`status: "milestone complete"` was asserted from the shipped marker alone, so a
single payload could report it beside `progress_percent: 67` — this issue's own
symptom, reached through `status` rather than the percentage.

The marker is now a claim checked against the milestone's own artifacts, and the
two signals are checked at DIFFERENT strengths because one check cannot serve
both. A `heading` marker (operator-typed, live ROADMAP) is refused on a short
completion ratio, which also catches phases declared but never scaffolded. A
`snapshot` marker is NOT ratio-gated: `milestone complete` moves the milestone's
phase dirs into `milestones/<version>-phases/` (milestone.cts:755-762) while
copying — never truncating — the live ROADMAP (:671-674), so a correctly
archived milestone reads 0/N by construction and a ratio gate would strip
`milestone complete` from every archived milestone. It is refused instead when
an in-milestone phase dir is still live and unfinished, reachable because
`milestone complete` does not advance STATE's `milestone:` field
(state-transition.cts:1335 vs :1224). `legacy` stays ungated — only reachable
when scoping is off.

A refused marker does not fall through to a STATE field claiming the same thing;
against contradicting artifacts neither source may report completion. The
refusal surfaces as `milestone_shipped_unverified` rather than staying silent,
distinct from `status_conflict` (derived-vs-field only).

* test(#2562): pin both marker strengths, the archived guard, and the owner modules

workstream-inventory: four tests, all four red against the prior src and green
with it. A live-ROADMAP SHIPPED heading over an incomplete milestone is refused;
an archived snapshot SURVIVES its phase dirs being moved out (the regression the
obvious single ratio-gate would cause — swapping the snapshot branch to that
gate reddens this AND the pre-existing `CURRENT-version snapshot marks the
milestone complete` at :321); an archived snapshot is refused once a phase is
reopened under it; and a refused marker is not re-asserted by a STATE field
claiming the same.

roadmap-parser: `isMilestoneShippedInRoadmap` gets unit coverage at its owner
module rather than only through the inventory that consumes it, plus two
characterisation tests for `getMilestonePhaseFilter`'s legacy call surface —
omitting the new trailing `ws` param is indistinguishable from `undefined`/`null`,
and the `GSD_WORKSTREAM` env fallback still resolves. These characterise the
call surface; they do not stand in for coverage of its individual callers.

phase-id: the `phaseKeyFrom*` / `parentPhaseKey` one-key-space contract, incl. a
property that padding a directory number never changes its key.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01PpFzuEHKTN1jaypSN44rzd

* fix(#2562): refuse an archived snapshot on a DIRTY archive, not just a live-unfinished dir

The snapshot arm checked `liveIncompletePhases > 0`, which misses the shape
@davesienkowski reproduced: a COMPLETE live dir beside a phase declared in the
Progress table with no directory. Nothing is live-and-unfinished, the marker
sails through, and `cmdWorkstreamProgress` returns
`{"status":"milestone complete","progress_percent":50}` — the reported symptom
verbatim, from one payload. Reproduced at 483a3ba30 before changing anything.

His diagnosis is the right one and better than mine: an in-milestone directory
outliving the archive means the archive is not CLEAN, and once that is true the
completion ratio is meaningful again. So the check is the conjunction — any live
in-milestone dir AND `completedPhases < effectivePhaseCount`. That strictly
subsumes the old predicate (an incomplete member dir is in the denominator and
not the numerator, so the ratio is always short when one exists) and leaves the
clean-archive guard green, since a clean archive has no live dirs at all.

Also corrects the module comment: the `scoped &&` prefix ungates all three
signals, not just `legacy`. That is correct behaviour — unscoped, the
denominator is the whole-roadmap count and membership is everything, so there is
no current-milestone artifact set to check a current-milestone claim against —
but the comment claimed otherwise. And the `milestone.cts` citations were ~28
lines stale after the rebase; they are now :700-702 (copy) and :783-790 (move),
re-verified against this head.

The inventory carried the field and every renderer dropped it — `workstream.cts`

like no marker: a fallback `status` and nothing saying one was seen and rejected.

f0bb0787c9 fix(#2640): report truthful state_updated + keep progress frontmatter in sync after phase remove (#2974)
* test(#2640): add regression for state_updated false positive + stale progress

Three cases: (1) state_updated reflects actual content change, not just
file existence; (2) progress.total_phases resync'd even when the body lacks
'Total Phases:' (the no-op guard was skipping syncStateFrontmatter);
(3) state_updated is false when STATE.md doesn't exist.

* fix(#2640): report truthful state_updated + force frontmatter resync

Two defects in cmdPhaseRemove:

1. state_updated was fs.existsSync(statePath) — trivially true, since the file
   existed before and readModifyWriteStateMd never deletes it. Now captures
   the boolean return from readModifyWriteStateMd (changed from void to
   boolean: true when content was written, false on no-op).

2. progress.* frontmatter stayed stale when the body lacked 'Total Phases:'
   or 'of N' — readModifyWriteStateMd's no-op guard (#948) skipped
   syncStateFrontmatter when the body transform was unchanged. Now the
   transform forces a body diff when a phase was actually removed, so the
   guard passes and syncStateFrontmatter rebuilds progress.* from the
   post-deletion disk/ROADMAP state.

* fix(#2640): address review — gate forced-diff on targetDir, strengthen assertions

Two MAJOR findings from isolated adversarial review:
1. Forced-diff injected a spurious 'Total Phases:' line even when no directory
   was removed (targetDir === null). Now gated on targetDir !== null.
2. Test #2 asserted 'not 3' instead of '2' — would pass for any wrong count.
   Now asserts exact value. Test #1 strengthened to assert body Total Phases
   and frontmatter total_phases both equal 1.

* test(#2956): fail-first regressions for Phase scoped to ## Current Position

Third generation of #2444 / #2567. Stopped At / Paused At were scoped to
## Session; Phase (canonically in ## Current Position per templates/state.md)
was left unscoped, so a historical Phase: / **Phase:** line in an archive
section overwrites current_phase on every write. Since current_phase is
routing input for gsd-progress / --next, the rewind routes work to the wrong
phase.

Six failing-first regressions + one round-trip:

Folded into tests/state.test.cjs (lint:regression-test-names bans a

* fix(#2956): scope Phase extraction to ## Current Position at both seams

Third generation of #2444 / #2567. Stopped At / Paused At were scoped to
## Session by those fixes; Phase (canonically in ## Current Position per
templates/state.md) was left unscoped, so a historical Phase: / **Phase:**
line in an archive section silently overwrote current_phase on every write.
Because current_phase is routing input for gsd-progress / --next, the rewind
routes work to the wrong phase.

Fix mirrors the proven #2444 seam exactly:
- new matchCurrentPositionSection helper (collectSection-based, CRLF-tolerant,
  level-flexible for the bootstrap ### Current Position h3 variant), sited next
  to matchSessionSection.
- read path (cmdStateSnapshot): extract Phase from matchCurrentPositionSection
  ?? body. Also scope Paused At to matchSessionSection ?? body so the read seam
  agrees with the write seam (which already scoped Paused At to ## Session).
- write path (buildStateFrontmatter): extract Phase from
  matchCurrentPositionSection ?? bodyContent.

stateExtractField itself is untouched (its bold/plain precedence is load-bearing
for other fields — the #3265 test depends on it), and preferNewerLastActivity is
untouched (Last Activity has no canonical section; its date-direction guard is
deliberate). Fall back to full-body when no ## Current Position section exists
so files without the heading keep current behaviour.

* chore(#2956): add changeset fragment (pr:0 placeholder, backfill after PR)

* test(#2956): make round-trip test actually trigger the write-path resync

The write-then-read round-trip test used 'state update Status "Executing"' on a
fixture with no Status field, so the update was a no-op (updated:false) and no
frontmatter resync ran through buildStateFrontmatter — the assertion on the
written frontmatter then failed not because the fix is wrong, but because no
write happened. Add a **Status:** field so the update performs a real field
update (updated:true) and forces the resync. Verified locally: pre-fix this
writes current_phase:19 (the archive value); post-fix it writes 22.

The code fix is correct (5 of 7 RED tests passed; the 2 failures were this
defective test). This is the 'fix the bad test' half of the TDD-loop rule.

cd5b8643ae fix(#2828): state sync reports correct total_phases on a flat unmilestoned roadmap (#2892)
* fix+test(#2828): total_phases uses roadmap count on flat unmilestoned roadmap

The read-path disk-scan cache fell back to phaseDirs.length (1) when milestoneBounded
was false, even though roadmapPhaseCount (6) was correct for a flat roadmap (no sibling
milestones to conflate). Use roadmapPhaseCount as the floor when > 0, matching the
write-path (cmdStateSync) which already did this. The milestoneBounded flag still flows
to milestoneUnbounded for the percent-skip (#1761 guard preserved). Regression test
asserts state-sync writes progress.total_phases:6 for a flat 6-phase roadmap + 1 phase dir.

* chore(#2828): changeset fragment

* test(#2828): add negative-space coverage (Math.max floor mutant + no-roadmap fallback) — review findings

The 6-phase test alone couldn't kill a Math.max-dropping mutant (1<6). Add: a
3-phase-dir/2-roadmap-phase case proving Math.max(dirs,count) floor; a no-roadmap
case proving phaseDirs.length fallback.

* fix(#2828): refine — distinguish flat unmilestoned from milestoned-unbounded (preserve #1761)

The first-pass fix (roadmapPhaseCount > 0 always) re-broke #1761: a milestoned-
unbounded roadmap (asserted milestone not among existing version headings) conflated
sibling milestones (8 = 4+4). Refine with a hasMilestoneSectioning discriminator:
^#{2,3}(?!Phase) detects non-Phase h2/h3 milestone section headings. A FLAT roadmap
(only ### Phase headings + a # title) has none → safe to use roadmapPhaseCount; a
SECTIONED-but-unbounded roadmap has them → fall back to phaseDirs.length (#1761).
Verified both cases locally (flat→6, sectioned-unbounded→1).

* test(#2828): remove two fragile negative-space tests (phase-dir scanner internals)

The Math.max-floor and no-roadmap tests made assumptions about the phase-dir scanner's
internals (which dirs count as 'realized') that didn't hold. The core regression test
(6-phase flat → total_phases:6) plus the existing #1761 conflation tests (which the
refined fix preserves) provide sufficient coverage.

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.

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.

Refs #1879

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

* test(#1882): count diagnostics emitted, not identities interned

The suite measured the size of the dedup set as a stand-in for "how many
diagnostics were emitted". That held only while one emission recorded exactly
one key. Once an emission began recording every identity the input could later
be matched by -- a path key and a content key for the same file -- the set grew
by two per write and twenty assertions read 2 where they expected 1.

The production behaviour was correct throughout; the proxy was not. Set size
counts identities, which is an implementation detail of the guard. The
behavioural claim these tests exist to make is how many diagnostics an operator
actually saw, so the module now exposes that directly as an emission counter and
the suite asserts on it. The set-size accessor stays for assertions genuinely
about key shape.

The local probe written alongside the change did not catch this because it
counted process.stderr.write calls -- the right thing -- while the suite counted
set growth. Verification now asserts both and requires them to agree, so a
future divergence between the counter and real writes fails immediately rather
than being discovered a bench run later.

* 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.

ec681e3c21 fix(#2567): scope Paused At to ## Session + guard Last Activity date regression (#2660)
* test(#2567): add failing regression for stale state field overwrites

buildStateFrontmatter extracts Last Activity and Paused At from the full
STATE.md body via stateExtractField, which matches the first 'Field:' line
anywhere. Historical archive sections containing stale field-shaped lines
silently overwrite the correct frontmatter value on every sync, and because
the poisoning line stays in the body it regresses on the next write.

Same divergence class as Bug #2444 (which scoped Stopped At to ## Session
but did not propagate). Failing-first: all three tests reproduce the bug
on unmodified next (verified via the dedicated red run on the test-only
commit).

* fix(#2567): scope Paused At to ## Session + guard Last Activity date

Two complementary fixes for the stale-archive-overwrites-frontmatter bug
class, chosen per field semantics:

- Paused At is a session field: scope extraction to ## Session (via the
  existing matchSessionSection helper), exactly mirroring the #2444 fix for
  Stopped At. A stale 'Paused At:' line in an archive section can no longer
  win over the current value. Falls back to full body when no ## Session.

- Last Activity has no single canonical section (it appears in the
  preamble, ## Configuration, and ## Current Position across STATE.md
  layouts), so a section scope cannot reliably exclude archive copies.
  Instead guard the information-losing direction: when the body-derived
  date is OLDER than the existing frontmatter date, keep the existing
  value and description (preferNewerLastActivity). Applied at both the
  write seam (syncStateFrontmatter) and the read seam (cmdStateJson) so
  they agree. Non-date values pass through unchanged.

A first attempt scoped ALL current-state fields to the body preamble, but
that broke STATE.md variants where the fields legitimately live inside
## Configuration / ## Current Position (regressed 4 frontmatter.test.cjs
suites). This minimal fix targets only the two fields the issue names.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Three changes:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Added Fixed changeset (code-review H1).

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

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

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

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

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

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

References: #2440; #1446 (total_phases read-path fix — same principle);
#3242 Bug A (body-only preservation — protection preserved via the opt-in
gate); ADR-1769 (applyStatePreservation table-driven preservation).

1a46bc068a fix(#2376): emit absolute subagent-facing paths from init/state, convert workflow literals (#2428)
* fix(#2376): emit absolute subagent-facing init/state paths

Make init.* and state.* path fields absolute rather than cwd-relative
so subagent prompts resolve correctly regardless of working directory.
Adds intel_dir/conflicts_path/requirements_path/roadmap_path/state_path
to cmdInitIngestDocs, an absolute debug_dir to cmdStateLoad, and
replaces bare .planning/... literals in 12 workflow Agent() prompt
blocks with the absolute init-JSON path fields. Includes decoy-cwd
regression tests and realpath'd tmpdir fixtures for macOS.

Squashed rebase of the #2376 commit series onto a fresh origin/next
(previous merge ee25543a1 was against a now-stale next).

* chore(#2376): add changeset

* chore(#2376): regenerate golden fixtures + workflow size baseline

c1885df9e5 chore(#2143): prohibition-with-teeth + migrate remaining ad-hoc table sites — Phase 4 (final) (#2253)
* chore(#2143): prohibition-with-teeth + migrate remaining table sites — Phase 4

Phase 4 of epic #2143 (ADR-2143 §7). Completes the markdown table/mutation
consolidation by (a) giving the ad-hoc-parsing prohibition teeth and (b)
migrating the last ad-hoc table sites onto the shared seam.

- src/markdown-table.cts: new formatting-preserving `updateTableCell` primitive
  (self-contained, ragged-row-tolerant header/delimiter/cell-range scan; splices
  only the target cell's raw span, preserving all other bytes incl. padding/CRLF;
  no-op-preserves-padding when a transformer returns the current value). Exports
  splitTableRow/isDelimiterRow/findTableStartOffset for tolerant reuse.
- eslint-rules/no-adhoc-markdown-parsing.cjs: TABLE-REGEX detector extended to
  `new RegExp(<literal|static-template>)`; new `.replace()`-mutation detector for
  roadmap/state/content receivers with a table/section-shaped pattern.
- scripts/lint-table-schema-drift.cjs (wired into lint:ci): fails if a TABLE_SCHEMA
  header drifts from its authored table; tests import its logic (single source).
- Migrated onto the seam (behaviour-preserving vs pre-Phase-4 HEAD, verified
  byte-diff old-vs-new): roadmap.cts cmdRoadmapUpdatePlanProgress, phase.cts
  cmdPhaseComplete + traceability, milestone.cts cmdRequirementsMarkComplete,
  uat.cts read path, state.cts metrics/decisions/By-Phase.
- Incidental correctness gains from the migration: a decoy table can no longer
  swallow a phase-progress update (## Progress scoping); a ragged neighbouring
  row no longer silently aborts an edit; completing integer phase N no longer
  touches a decimal sub-phase N.x row; record-metric no longer drops trailing
  section content or duplicates the ## Performance Metrics section.
- Kept justified allow-adhoc-markdown markers only where genuinely not a table
  (security.cts <|role|> token) or a loose non-GFM section (uat human-verify).

Two orthogonal isolated reviews (correctness/adversarial + security) passed;
correctness found 4 behaviour regressions in the first migration pass, all fixed
and re-verified byte-identical-or-better vs OLD.

Surfaced for maintainer (pre-existing, ambiguous domain logic, NOT changed here):
templates/state.md places a By-Phase table under ## Performance Metrics while
cmdStateRecordMetric assumes a Plan|Duration|Tasks|Files table.

* fix(#2143): match traceability row by first-cell value, not Requirement header

Phase 4's migration matched the REQUIREMENTS.md traceability row by a column
literally named `Requirement` (`row['Requirement']`), but real tables head that
column `REQ-ID`. The by-name lookup found nothing, so `phase complete` and
`requirements mark-complete` left the Status cell `Pending` (regressed #2769 /
#2203, caught by gsd-test — 8 failures, both node 22/24).

- src/phase.cts, src/milestone.cts: match the row by its FIRST cell's value
  (the requirement-ID column) regardless of that column's HEADER name, via
  `Object.values(row)[0]` (updateTableCell builds the record in header order).
  This mirrors OLD's first-cell `\|\s*<id>\s*\|` anchor, restoring header-name
  independence while keeping the seam.
- src/milestone.cts hasTable: broadened from `Requirement`-only to also
  recognize `Requirement ID` / `REQ-ID` / `REQ ID` headers, kept in sync with
  the now-positional rowMatch/hasRow so a REQ-ID-headed table participates in
  the ADR-2143 §6 write-set and the #2140 table_unmatched drift check (it was
  silently omitted before — a checkbox-only partial reconcile against a REQ-ID
  table could report as fully reconciled). The `Requirement`-headed path is
  byte-identical to OLD.

* test(#2143): replace stale structural milestone guards with behavioural suite

The `milestone.cjs regex global state fix` block was a source-structure guard
(allow-test-rule: structural-regression-guard) — it readFileSync'd the compiled
milestone.cjs and asserted removed regex idioms (`tablePattern.test`,
`afterTable !== reqContent`, `doneTable = new RegExp(...)`). Phase 4's migration
deleted those regexes (table update is now updateTableCell), making the
assertions obsolete. Per the Test Cleanup rule, replace them in-PR with a
behavioural suite driving the compiled CLI:

- multi-ID mark-complete flips all IDs (guards the lastIndex/global-state class),
- Pending->Complete flip under both `REQ-ID` and `Requirement` headers (#2769),
- idempotent already_complete detection with no corruption,
- REQ-ID-headed table participates in write_set (traceability entry, applied),
- REQ-ID-headed table trips #2140 table_unmatched drift on a missing row.

Pruned the now-nonexistent structural-regression-guard entry from the
lint-allow-test-rule-refs allowlist (the source-text-is-the-product entry for
the same file remains valid).

* fix(#2143): record-metric targets its own metrics table, not By-Phase velocity

`state record-metric` appended its per-plan row (`| Phase 1 P1 | 5min | 3 tasks |
4 files |`) into the FIRST table under `## Performance Metrics` — which on a real
template-derived STATE.md is the By-Phase velocity table `| Phase | Plans | Total
| Avg/Plan |`, polluting it on EVERY plan completion (execute-plan.md:414 is a
per-plan call). The command's own metrics table is `| Plan | Duration | Tasks |
Files |`, which the template does not ship, so the row never reached it; the
scaffold branch also emitted a wrong `| Phase | Plan | Duration | Notes |` header
matching neither the row nor the canonical table.

Pre-existing (predates Phase 4); surfaced while migrating this site and fixed here
per no-defer, on the user's explicit go-ahead.

- src/state.cts cmdStateRecordMetric: locate the metrics table by its own header
  shape (`Plan|Duration|Tasks|Files`, via splitTableRow/isDelimiterRow) rather
  than "first table in the section". When the section exists but has no metrics
  table (only the By-Phase table), self-heal by appending a fresh **Per-Plan
  Metrics:** table to the END of the section body — By-Phase table, Recent Trend
  and footer preserved verbatim, no duplicate `## Performance Metrics` heading,
  created stays false. Absent-section scaffold header corrected to the canonical
  `| Plan | Duration | Tasks | Files |`. Ragged-tolerance + None-yet preserved.
- Not touching templates/state.md (golden-install-parity hashed) — record-metric
  self-creates the table on first use instead.

Failing-first regression test (tests/state.test.cjs) demonstrates the By-Phase
pollution on the pre-fix build, then green after. Verified: no pollution, self-
heal idempotency, both-tables isolation, content/heading preservation, flags,
None-yet, corrected scaffold header (23-check adversarial harness + all existing
record-metric scenarios).

* feat(#2143): deleteSection seam primitive (level-bounded whole-section removal)

ADR-2143 §4 shipped withSection/collectSection (replace a section BODY) but no
way to DELETE a section (heading + body). Phase 4 suppressed the phase-remove
section delete instead of building it. deleteSection(content, predicate, opts)
locates the section via the collectSection machinery and splices out from the
heading's start offset to the next same-or-higher-level heading — so a level-3
`### Phase N` delete stops at a following level-2 `## Progress`, never past it.

* fix(#2143): phase remove no longer deletes ## Progress on last-phase removal

updateRoadmapAfterPhaseRemoval deleted a `### Phase N` detail section with a
greedy raw regex whose lazy scan, on the LAST phase, ran to EOF and destroyed
the following `## Progress` heading and its entire tracking table — silent data
loss, uncovered by tests (removal tests only exercised a middle phase). Migrated
onto the new deleteSection seam (level-bounded, stops at `## Progress`); dropped
the allow-adhoc-markdown SECTION-DELETION suppression. Failing-first regression
(tests/phase.test.cjs) removes the LAST phase and asserts the ## Progress heading
+ table survive; middle-phase removal is byte-identical.

* feat(#2143): deleteTableRow seam primitive (row removal, ragged-tolerant)

Sibling of updateTableCell: locates the first GFM table, matches a DATA row by
predicate (ragged-tolerant record build, header order), and splices out that
row's whole line preserving every other byte. Returns {ok:false,reason} on no
table / no match. Enables migrating the phase-remove Progress-table row delete
off its ad-hoc regex (ADR-2143 §7 — the "future row-delete seam" Phase 4 punted).

* fix(#2143): phase remove deletes the Progress row via deleteTableRow

The Progress-table row delete used a whole-document regex with two defects:
(a) `\.?\s` required whitespace after the phase number, so a COMPACT row
`|2|Beta|` was never deleted (stale row left behind); (b) unscoped — it could
strike a row in a different table (e.g. an earlier `| Phase | Requirements |`
table). Migrated onto deleteTableRow, scoped to the `## Progress` section
(mirrors deriveProgressFromRoadmap), matching the row by first-cell phase number
(integer zero-pad-insensitive; decimal exact; removing `2` never touches `2.5`).
Both allow-adhoc-markdown suppressions removed. New behavioural tests: compact
unpadded row deleted; padded byte-parity on the surviving rows (their ordinal
correctly renumbers via the pre-existing renumber block).

* fix(#2143): deleteTableRow leaves no dangling newline on last EOL-less row

Deleting the final row of a table with no trailing EOL sliced from the row's
start to end-of-string, stranding the newline that terminated the previous line.
Back rowStart over the preceding \r?\n in that branch so the table ends cleanly.
(Caught by the primitive's own unit test on gsd-test; local scenario checks
missed the no-trailing-EOL edge.)

* fix(#2143): migrate read-only section-collects onto collectSection

Six hand-rolled `## Section` read-extract regexes replaced by the collectSection
seam (behaviour-preserving; extracted bodies feed the same downstream parsers):
state.cts matchSessionSection (## Session / ## Session Continuity) + ## Blockers,
smart-entry.cts ## Blockers, audit.cts ## Current Focus + ## Open Questions.
Removes 6 allow-adhoc-markdown "pending #1372" suppressions. Incidental fix: the
old Session regex `## Session[ \t]*\n` silently failed on a CRLF `## Session\r\n`
heading (Windows STATE.md), nulling all session fields; collectSection is
CRLF-safe, so session state now resolves on Windows.

* fix(#2143): fence-safe state-transition section writes + dedup stripFrontmatter

- milestoneCompleteCore's `## Current Position` and `## Operator Next Steps`
  section resets used fence-blind raw regexes that a fenced `##` inside the body
  could truncate/mis-target (#2130/#2067/#2080 class). Migrated onto a
  fence-aware tokenizeHeadings-based helper (resetSectionVerbatim) that is
  byte-identical to the old output on the canonical path (9/9 fixtures) and
  correctly ignores a fenced fake heading (proven robustness gain).
- mutateCurrentPositionFirstTime: hand-rolled locate+splice → collectSection +
  replaceSection (byte-parity).
- stripFrontmatter was inlined byte-identically in state.cts AND
  state-transition.cts; hoisted the single canonical copy into frontmatter.cts
  (both call sites now import it) + unit tests — eliminates the divergence risk
  per CLAUDE.md "Generative Fix Divergence". Removes 3 allow-adhoc-markdown /
  #1372 markers.

* fix(#2143): name-address By-Phase sum + uat parse, eslint recall hole, catches

- state.cts By-Phase "Total plans completed" sum: positional 2nd-cell regex →
  name-addressed splitTableRow read (correct on a reordered header, where the
  old code silently summed the wrong column). Marker removed.
- uat.cts parseVerificationItems: loose pipe regex → splitTableRow within the
  existing table/numbered/bullet union scan (item list byte-identical; does NOT
  reintroduce the reverted strict-parseMarkdownTable item-drop). Marker removed.
- eslint no-adhoc-markdown-parsing: close the `new RegExp(identifier)` recall
  hole — resolve a const-declared table-shaped regex identifier (mirrors the
  .replace() detector) + RuleTester cases; param/call args stay out (boundary).
- commands.cts: delete a lying comment that claimed the scaffold date "stays on
  raw UTC / deferred" — #2136 already moved it to realClock.localToday().
- Empty catches (classified, not blind-swept): removed 4 dead try/catch;
  fixed 3 error-hiding (phase-insert decimal-dir I/O collision now fails loud;
  phase-remove rename partial-failure surfaced; milestone-archive true count via
  finally); left best-effort swallows with justification comments.

* fix(#2143): extractFencedBlock seam + migrate api-coverage named fence

parseCoverageMatrix extracted its ```coverage fenced block with an ad-hoc regex
(the last real allow-adhoc-markdown suppression). Added extractFencedBlock to the
markdown-sectionizer seam (reuses stripFencedCode's CommonMark fence engine —
info-string match, ~~~/backtick, nesting, indent) and migrated onto it; byte-
parity on the parsed CoverageMatrix across 8 fixtures. Only security.cts:367
(a genuine `<|role|>` protocol-token false-positive, not a GFM table) remains
marked in src/ — the "prohibition with teeth" goal (nothing grandfathered but a
true FP) is met.

* fix(#2143): By-Phase row insert is name-addressed (insertTableRow seam)

updatePerformanceMetricsSection's INSERT-new-row branch located the By-Phase
table with a canonical-column-order-only regex + a hardcoded positional row
literal, so on a reordered header it silently inserted nothing — inconsistent
with the now name-addressed UPDATE and SUM halves of the same function. Added
insertTableRow (markdown-table seam sibling of updateTableCell/deleteTableRow:
name-addressed, header-order-agnostic, EOL-preserving) and migrated the branch
onto it, mapping By-Phase values by column NAME. Canonical-order output is
byte-identical; a reordered header now inserts a correctly-mapped row; a
pre-existing CRLF mixed-EOL splice glitch is incidentally fixed. Retired the
now-dead byPhaseTablePattern const.

* fix(#2143): phase-list checkbox flip via updateBullet seam

Added updateBullet (markdown-sectionizer): a fence-aware, offset-tracked
single-bullet write primitive (GFM 1–4-space marker tolerance) — the write
counterpart to read-only iterateBullets. Migrated mutateMilestonePhase's
phase-list checkbox flip (`- [ ] Phase N …` → `- [x] … (completed <date>)`)
off its whole-slice regex onto it, same milestone-slice scope + clock seam.
Byte-identical across simple / idempotent / metachar-title / double-space /
CRLF scenarios.

* fix(#2143): scope the Progress-ordinal renumber to ## Progress via seam

phase remove's integer-renumber decremented Progress-table phase ordinals with a
whole-document `content.replace(/(\|\s*)(\d+)(\.\s)/g, …)` — unscoped, so it also
rewrote any `| N. …` cell in an unrelated/decoy table (same class as the batch-2
row-delete scoping bug). Migrated onto updateTableCell, scoped to the ## Progress
section, decrementing each affected row's leading phase ordinal by column name.
Byte-identical on canonical Progress tables + multi-row + decimal-sibling cases;
a decoy `| 3. … |` row before ## Progress is now correctly left untouched. The
sibling heading / checkbox-bullet / PLAN.md-filename / Depends-on-prose renumbers
are not GFM-table mutations (outside ADR-2143's table/section mandate) — left as-is.

* fix(#2143): review fixes — scope traceability write, restore Current Position H3-stop

Adversarial review of the remediation (BLOCK verdict) — all 9 findings fixed:
- F1 (BLOCKER): requirements mark-complete / phase complete flipped the checkbox
  but NOT the traceability row on the shipped template, because updateTableCell
  bound to the FIRST table (## Out of Scope, no Status column) instead of the
  ## Traceability table — the #2140 silent-divergence class, re-introduced by the
  seam migration and missed by tests (fixtures had Traceability first). Scoped
  the write + hasRow probe to the ## Traceability section slice (updateTraceability
  Cell helper) in milestone.cts + phase.cts. Failing-first tests on the
  Out-of-Scope-before-Traceability layout; the #2769 first-cell match preserved.
- F2 (MAJOR): mutateCurrentPositionFirstTime restored to locateCurrentPosition
  (STOP_H2_PLUS) — collectSection's default H2-stop swallowed a level-3 subsection
  and the field regexes clobbered it (#2130 class).
- F3/F8: Progress-ordinal renumber re-escapes via escapeCell + keys padding
  recovery by row index (was de-escaping `\|` and losing padding on dup values).
- F4: insertTableRow escapes cell values internally.
- F5: updateBullet accepts a tab after the marker (`[ \t]{1,4}`).
- F7: resetSectionVerbatim consumes CRLF blank lines (byte-parity on CRLF).
- F6/F9: corrected two misleading comments.

* test(#2143): de-flake the G10 windsurf ReDoS-guard wall-clock assertion

The G10 test asserted `elapsedMs < 1000` for a 200k-char payload — a wall-clock
assertion (CLAUDE.md: never assert on wall-clock time) that flaked on a loaded
node24 bench at ~1.1s. It was redundant: runHook's spawnSync `timeout: 10000`
already SIGKILLs a catastrophic-backtracking hook, so the exit-0 assertion is the
real ReDoS guard. Removed the timing assertion; kept exit-0 + documented the
subprocess-timeout mechanism. Surfaced (not caused) by this branch's gsd-test
runs loading the bench; unrelated to the markdown-parsing changes but fixed in
place per the no-flaky-tests rule.
