a9a7a328e6 refactor: hard-fork GSD -> MSD (Make Software Done)
Mechanical rename produced by scripts/msd-rename.cjs: gsd/Gsd/GSD -> msd/Msd/MSD
across contents and paths, upstream package/repo coordinates -> @golem15/msd-core
and golem15com/msd-core. Deep links into upstream history, sibling upstream
packages, the GSD-2 import feature, CHANGELOG.md and .changeset/ are kept as-is.

Hand edits on top: MSD block-letter banner and logos, LICENSE copyright line,
package/plugin identity, regenerated lockfile, install-tree fixtures, derived
registries and benchmark baseline; migration checksum baseline re-locked
(MSD keeps its own install state, so no install had applied the old sums);
sort-order and regex-escaped expectations in tests adjusted.

238bee7b03 fix(#4881): trust worktree.baseRef:"head" in harness mode; a WorktreeCreate hook withholds it and only a measured fork base restores it (#4921)
* fix(#4881): trust worktree.baseRef:"head" in harness mode and keep the #4868 observation as what restores it under a WorktreeCreate hook

The pre-dispatch base check still derived its harness-mode verdict from the
retired #48 premise that the harness never reads worktree.baseRef: with
"head" set and HEAD diverged from origin/HEAD it degraded every wave with
baseref-head-ignored-by-harness. #4868 inserted an observation of a clean
prior harness worktree at HEAD ahead of that comparison, but an
execute-phase run never has one at the moment it checks — the base-check
runs before any dispatch, a degraded wave creates no worktrees, and a wave
that did run in worktrees has them removed and HEAD moved before the next
check — so the common case was unchanged (#4881 repro states 1 and 4).

Re-scope of the closed #4752 onto current next, with #4868 kept:

- branch a trusts "head" in both isolation modes, the way the harness is
  measured to behave (#4588: three settings layers, three OSes), and the
  spawn-time exit-42 guard stays the observation-based backstop;
- a Claude Code WorktreeCreate hook in any settings file the check reads,
  or a file that does not parse, withholds that trust — the hook creates
  the worktree without applying the setting — and the inferred comparison
  runs, degrading with baseref-head-bypassed-by-hook;
- the #4868 observation (b2) now sits behind branch a: it is reached only
  when "head" was not trusted outright, and on a hook host it is what
  restores the trust — a hook that forks from HEAD leaves exactly that
  evidence, one that forks elsewhere never does. Its per-HEAD cache is
  unchanged. It is skipped under an explicit --observed-fork-base, which
  outranks an inference from a prior worktree;
- --observed-fork-base <sha> threads a measured fork base through the
  evaluation (strict full-hex, TypeError otherwise).

Tests: the #4868 rows are unchanged and still reachable (they run with the
setting unset); the #4752 rows re-land, with the one exit-128 row updated
to the degrade #4734 pinned since; a new #4881 block pins the start-of-run
state (baseref-head, git never consulted), the hook + observation
composition in both directions, and that an explicit observation skips
the probe.

* docs(#4881): rewrite the eight surfaces that still state the harness ignores worktree.baseRef:"head"

Every prose surface #4868 left untouched still asserted the retired #48
premise as verified fact, starting with the step file the orchestrator
reads. Each now describes the measured behaviour, the WorktreeCreate-hook
exception, the --observed-fork-base input, and the #4868 observation as
what lifts the hook degrade; docs/CLI-TOOLS.md gains the
fork-from-head-observed reason row #4868 did not document.

* chore(#4881): set changeset fragment pr to 4921

* fix(#4881): withhold the #4868 observation under the hook interlock

The hook interlock this PR added withheld the worktree.baseRef:"head"
trust but still let b2's prior-worktree observation restore it, and that
observation cannot be attributed to the hook. The evidence is a clean
agent worktree sitting at the orchestrator HEAD; nothing on disk records
which creator left it there, so one the plain harness created BEFORE a
WorktreeCreate hook was configured — with HEAD unmoved since — reads as
evidence for the hook. It was the one fail-open branch in a mechanism
documented as fail-closed.

Keying the observation cache by hook configuration does not close it.
observeHarnessForkFromHead has two legs: a HEAD-keyed cache and a live
probe over .claude/worktrees/agent-*. A hook-keyed cache simply misses,
and the miss falls through to the probe, which re-finds the same stale
worktree and re-confirms. The probe takes no hook input at all. So the
observation is not consulted under the interlock rather than re-keyed:
on a hook host the only admissible positive signal is an explicit
--observed-fork-base measurement of the dispatch in hand, and absent one
the inferred comparison runs and a mismatch degrades with
baseref-head-bypassed-by-hook, leaving the spawn-time exit-42 guard as
the backstop.

Scoped to the case branch a. declined to trust: "head" set AND a hook
(or an unparseable layer) in the harness's path. With no "head" setting
b2 is #4868's own arm and is unchanged, hook or not — re-scoping that
trust is a separate question this PR does not open, and a test pins the
boundary.

Cost, stated: a hook host with "head" set, on a branch diverged from
origin/HEAD and passing no observation, now runs sequentially. It still
runs parallel when HEAD matches origin/HEAD. No workflow threads an
observation today.

* refactor(#4881): drop the now-unused forkRef message-builder parameter

buildMsgBaserefHeadIgnored stopped reading forkRef when the message was
made mode-neutral, and the parameter was retained with `void forkRef;`
for symmetry with its two sibling builders, which do read it. Symmetry
is not reason enough to keep a dead parameter on a module-private
function with one caller, so drop it (#4921 review).

Behaviour is unchanged; the message text is pinned by an existing
full-string assertion, which is what covers the only real risk here —
transposing the two remaining arguments at the call site.

* test(#4881): exercise both FULL_SHA_RE alternatives at their boundaries

The invalid-observation list pinned 39 and 41 hex around the 40-hex
SHA-1 arm but left the 64-hex SHA-256 arm's own +/-1 boundary
unexercised, which the repo's boundary-coverage convention asks for
(#4921 review). Adds 63, 65 and a 64-length non-hex string.

The regex already rejected all three -- this is coverage of correct
behaviour, not a fix -- so it carries no negative control against a
pre-fix base. That it is not vacuous was shown instead by widening the
arm to {63,65}, under which the row fails by name.

* docs(#4881): finish the surface sweep the hook interlock owes

Self-found by this round's own pre-push adversarial review, over six passes.
Eight sites, four classes.

FIVE were prose still asserting the stance the interlock overturned, which
reads as live canon to anyone arriving cold: docs/CLI-TOOLS.md,
docs/CONFIGURATION.md and gsd-core/references/planning-config.md each still
said the hook degrade is lifted "unless/until a clean prior harness worktree is
observed"; observeHarnessForkFromHead's own header still said a qualifying
worktree "can only exist if the harness forked from HEAD"; and a test name
still called the observation "required on a hook host" when it is now
inadmissible there. My own sweep had grepped for "restores"/"lifts" and missed
every one -- the ordinary failure of a grep, which returns what you thought to
search for.

The SIXTH is the same class one step worse: gsd-core/workflows/execute-plan.md
still said flatly that Claude Code's isolation="worktree" "forks from
origin/HEAD, not live local HEAD" -- in a paragraph THIS PR already edits, a
few sentences after the clause it corrected. A tombstone makes only its own
line clean; adjoining text asserting the dead stance is the other half of the
same defect. Now qualified on the setting, with the hook exception named.

The SEVENTH is a proof-strength overstatement that predates this PR, with a
driven counterexample: a worktree created from an older base and since `git
checkout --detach`ed onto HEAD is clean, sits at HEAD, and satisfies the probe
identically, so "can only exist" was false. The worktree's own reflog does
retain that original checkout -- the information is not lost, the probe simply
does not consult it.

The EIGHTH is that the header described only one of the function's two legs. A
cache hit returns the prior conclusion without reading any worktree, so "the
probe reads a worktree's present state" was true of the live probe and false of
the cache. The header now separates them, and names the cache's blindness as a
third reason the observation is inadmissible under a hook.

Gaps seven and eight are inherited from #4868 and accepted there for the
no-hook case. Nothing about the mechanism changes here; only what the header
claims for it.

No behavioural change -- comments, prose, and one test's registered name.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: execute-plan.md — the Pattern A paragraph gained a qualifying
 clause: it stated flatly that Claude Code forks from origin/HEAD, which is the premise
 this PR retires, a few sentences after the clause the PR had already corrected.

25d1cb916f fix(#4721): give worktree cleanup-wave's merge its own timeout, report merge_timed_out, and restore the index a killed merge leaves staged (#4766)
* fix(#4721): give cleanup-wave's merge its own timeout, report merge_timed_out, and restore the index a killed merge leaves staged

`worktree cleanup-wave` ran `git merge --no-ff` under the module-wide
DEFAULT_GIT_TIMEOUT_MS (10 s) that is sized for plumbing calls. The merge is
the one call in the wave that runs user hooks, so a repo whose
pre-merge-commit hook is a test-suite gate lost every code-bearing executor
merge. Three things went wrong at once, each fixed here:

1. Budget. The merge now passes an explicit timeout —
   DEFAULT_MERGE_TIMEOUT_MS (10 min), overridable via deps.mergeTimeoutMs.
   Every other git call in the wave keeps the module default; the shared
   constant is untouched, because every other caller is exactly what its
   10 s comment describes.

2. Reason. A merge that does time out blocks on `merge_timed_out`, and its
   stderr names the budget and says the hook may still be running, instead
   of `merge_failed` carrying whatever the hook had printed before git was
   killed — which made a healthy executor branch look broken.

3. Residue. A merge killed during its hook has already staged the merged
   tree into the primary's index but never wrote MERGE_HEAD, so
   `git merge --abort` finds nothing and repoRootStillMidMerge (#2852)
   reads the primary as clean while the executor's whole diff sits staged
   against the old HEAD; a `git commit` from that state squashes the
   executor's history into one parent. After any failed merge the wave now
   reads `git diff --cached --name-only`; anything staged is the merge's
   own (git refuses to start a merge when the index differs from HEAD), so
   it runs `git reset --merge` — restores exactly those paths, keeps
   unrelated unstaged edits — and re-reads. Restored paths are reported as
   WAVE_CLEANUP_WARNING.MERGE_RESIDUE_RESTORED and the wave continues; a
   still-dirty or unreadable index reports MERGE_RESIDUE_LEFT_STAGED and
   halts the remaining entries, the same repo-level carve-out an
   unfinished merge takes.

Tests: five mock-driven rows (budget wiring incl. the deps override, the
timeout classification with restore, the no-reset control for an ordinary
refused merge, an unrestorable residue halting the wave, an unverifiable
index failing closed) plus a real-git row that runs a sleeping
pre-merge-commit hook under a 1 s budget and asserts HEAD unmoved, index
and worktree clean, the executor branch intact — with the same fixture
merging cleanly under the default budget as its negative control. Two
existing #2852 rows gain a handler for the new post-failure index read.

* fix(#4721): gate the residue restore on the timeout, re-apply a merge autostash, and correct the hook census

Three findings from the pre-file adversarial review of the previous commit,
each driven on real git before changing code:

1. A merge git REFUSED ("your local changes … would be overwritten") also
   leaves no MERGE_HEAD — and that refusal is exactly what a pre-existing
   dirty primary index earns. The residue restore read that index as the
   merge's own and `reset --merge`d the operator's staged work away
   (driven: a staged edit to an unrelated file was discarded and reported
   as "restored"). The restore now runs ONLY when the merge timed out; a
   refusal is an immediate exit, never a timeout, so on that path nothing
   is read or reset.

2. `merge.autoStash=true` lets a merge start on a dirty index by parking
   the work in MERGE_AUTOSTASH, which a killed merge never re-applies.
   `git reset --merge` moves that stash into the stash list; the wave now
   runs `git stash pop --index` afterwards (the outcome `merge --abort`
   gives an autostashed merge), and reports
   WAVE_CLEANUP_WARNING.MERGE_AUTOSTASH_UNRESTORED (path null) when the
   pop fails or the autostash state could not be read — the work stays in
   the stash, the index is clean, the wave continues. Because of this the
   reset runs on a timed-out merge even when the index reads clean.

3. The merge is not the only hook-running git call in the module:
   `worktree add` runs post-checkout and every ref update runs
   reference-transaction. It is the only call that runs the commit-family
   hooks, which is what the budget is for. Comments and docs say so now.

Tests: the "ordinary merge_failed" control becomes the regression row for
finding 1 (strict mock — a `diff --cached` or `reset --merge` on a refused
merge throws), plus a mock row for the autostash pop (dirty and clean
index, pop success and failure), and two real-git rows: a refused merge
over pre-existing staged work leaves it byte-identical, and a killed merge
under merge.autoStash restores the executor residue AND puts the
operator's staged work back. The real-git hook now sleeps 4 s against a
1.5 s budget for margin on slow runners. The two #2852 handlers added
earlier are removed — the residue read no longer fires on their path.
Negative control: 4 of the 10 #4721 rows fail on the previous commit.

* fix(#4721): key the residue restore on a killed merge, and re-read the index after a failed autostash pop

Two more findings from the continuation review, both driven:

1. An externally delivered SIGTERM leaves the same staged/no-MERGE_HEAD
   state as the timeout, and the seam reports it as exitCode null + signal
   with timedOut false — so the timeout-only gate skipped the restore on a
   state it was written for. The gate is now "killed": timedOut, or a null
   exit code with a signal. A refused merge still exits with a code and is
   still never touched. The reason stays merge_failed for a signal kill.

2. A failed `git stash pop --index` keeps the stash entry but can leave
   conflict entries (UU) and partially applied paths, after which the next
   merge fails on "you have unmerged files"; the code returned halt:false
   on the strength of the pre-pop recheck. The index is now re-read after a
   failed pop and a dirty result halts the wave as merge_residue_left_staged
   alongside the merge_autostash_unrestored warning.

Also driven and now documented rather than changed: a kill that lands once
MERGE_HEAD exists (inside commit-msg) is the ordinary #2852 abort path —
`git merge --abort` restores the tree and re-applies an autostash itself,
unstaged, as git does for any aborted autostashed merge.

Tests: the pop-failure mock row now asserts the post-pop re-read and gains
a conflict-leftover variant that halts; a signal-kill mock row; a real-git
row with the sleeping hook moved to commit-msg (timed out, no residue
warnings, MERGE_HEAD cleared, primary clean). 414 pass.

* fix(#4721): key the kill gate on the seam's signal, not on a null exit code

The shell projection seam normalizes a signal death to exitCode 1 and
carries the signal alongside (`_spawnResult`: `result.status ?? 1`), so the
previous `exitCode === null && signal` gate could never fire in production
and the unit row that covered it modelled a shape the seam does not emit
(caught in the round-3 review). The gate is now `timedOut || signal`; a
refused merge exits with a code and no signal. The mock row uses the real
shape, and a mocked spawnSync signal death driven through the compiled seam
reaches `reset --merge` and reports the residue restored.

Also: three comments that still said "at its budget" / "runs user hooks" /
"the index is clean", and the CLI-TOOLS sentence that reserved
`merge_failed` for refusals and conflicts, now name the signal case.

b54c1c5848 fix(#4709): retire the Gemini CLI reviewer lane (#4716)
* fix(#4709): retire the Gemini CLI reviewer lane

Google stopped serving Gemini CLI for the free/Pro/Ultra tiers on 2026-06-18 —
the same sunset that removed the gemini RUNTIME in #1928 (shipped 1.8.0). GSD
targets solo developers, so those tiers ARE the user path: the lane spawned
`gemini {{model}} -p -`, a binary that no longer answers for the majority of
users, and five locales documented it as a supported choice.

The lane was re-created after #1928 by the reviewer-lane-as-manifest-data work
(6a9babda69, #2798/#2837, ADR-2782). Per the maintainer that re-creation was an
error in that buildout rather than a considered decision, so this corrects a
mistake and needs no ADR-2782 amendment.

Reviewer roster: 12 lanes / 13 flags -> 11 lanes / 12 flags.

TWO sources of truth had to be removed, not one. Deleting
capabilities/gemini/capability.json left the capability registry at 11 lanes
while src/review-lane-descriptor.cts's hand-maintained REVIEWER_LANES array
still carried its own complete gemini entry at 12 — precisely the disagreement
checkReviewerLaneParity exists to catch. Both are gone; both parity checkers
now run clean against the real tree (lane parity ok/0 violations, docs parity
0 violations).

Surfaces stripped of the dead flag:
- capabilities/gemini/ deleted; registry and capability-matrix regenerated
- src/review-lane-descriptor.cts: REVIEWER_LANES entry, docblock count, and the
  three doc comments that used --gemini as a live example
- commands/gsd/{review,plan-review-convergence,autonomous,progress}.md and the
  four matching skills/*/SKILL.md: argument-hint frontmatter and flag bullets
- gsd-core/workflows/help/modes/{full,full.compact}.md: /gsd-help signatures,
  the detected-CLI list, and the reviewer-title list
- gsd-core/workflows/settings-integrations.md: the integrations wizard no longer
  offers "Gemini" as a model option, and the settable-keys list drops it
- gsd-core/workflows/review.md: the `command -v gemini` probe, the --gemini
  flag, the roster frontmatter, the install pointer to the sunset repo, and the
  jq-less / precedence / self-skip lane lists
- gsd-core/workflows/sync-skills.md: "two runtimes (grok, gemini) resolve to
  ANOTHER runtime's skills root" is now one runtime; gemini never aliased
  anything, it fell through canonicalizeRuntimeName to a fail-closed default
- docs/{CONFIGURATION,COMMANDS,CLI-TOOLS}.md, docs/reference/capability-matrix.md,
  docs/how-to/set-up-cross-ai-review.md — including its `npm install -g
  @google/gemini-cli` instruction and the two rows recommending --gemini
- docs/features/{cross-ai-peer-review,opt-in-parallel-reviewer-lanes}.md as the
  generator inputs behind docs/FEATURES.md, plus the three locale FEATURES.md
  signature lines the docs-parity gate covers (the #2781 class: a flag change
  that never reaches the mirrors)

Counts reconciled against measurement rather than arithmetic: 8 timeout keys of
11 lanes, 11 budget keys, 9 model keys, and four hardcoded literals in
tests/reviewer-lane-declarations.test.cjs (NEW_LANE_ONLY_IDS 5->4, LITERAL_ROSTER
12->11, two roster counts 12->11).

BEHAVIOR CHANGE, accepted deliberately: `gsd config-set review.models.gemini`
now errors with "Unknown config key". An existing key already in
.planning/config.json still parses and is simply never read, so no project fails
to load. This is the repo's own documented policy for exactly this case
(docs/CONFIGURATION.md:327 — "a key left over from a removed reviewer validated
silently and was never read. Such a key is now rejected by config-set"), so no
installer migration ships. Note my first measurement of this was WRONG: I tested
config-get, which reads undeclared keys fine, and generalised. Read and write are
different surfaces and gave different answers.

Antigravity is untouched throughout — its --antigravity/--agy flags,
review.models.agy, ~/.gemini/antigravity configHome, ~/.gemini/config global
skills root (#3738), hookEvents "gemini", GEMINI.md instruction file, and every
gemini-* model id it actually runs on.

* fix(#4709): close the 24 test failures and the locale-doc gap the gates found

An adversarial review and a full matrix run between them found substantially
more fallout than inspection had. All of it is this PR's own, and all of it is
fixed rather than waved off.

THE MATRIX RUN FOUND 24 FAILURES ACROSS 6 FILES. Inspection had predicted two.
The dominant class was a test helper that looks up a lane by slug and throws
`no declared lane 'gemini'`:

- tests/feat-2483-review-claude-mds-guard.test.cjs (6) — used gemini as the
  "other declared first-party lane" to contrast against claude's env
  suppression. Now qwen, verified from source as a lane that declares no `env`
  (only claude does), so the contrast still holds.
- tests/review-lane-descriptor.test.cjs (6) — the duplicate-flag and
  duplicate-section fixtures deliberately COLLIDED with a real declared lane to
  prove the parity checker reports a duplicate. `--gemini`/`Gemini` no longer
  collide with anything, so the checker reported
  `descriptor_lane_not_in_registry:acme` instead and the tests proved nothing.
  Now collide with `--codex`/`Codex`, reproduced against the real checker.
- tests/review-reviewer-selection.test.cjs (3) — these distinguish KNOWN-but-
  undetected from UNKNOWN. gemini flipped categories, inverting what they
  proved. The known case now uses qwen; `__nope__` stays the unknown fixture.
- tests/review-default-reviewers-resolution.test.cjs (2), and
  tests/settings-integrations.test.cjs (3) — the wizard now offers three
  reviewer CLIs, not four, so the test and its name say three.
- Two count assertions the earlier sweep missed outright:
  reviewer-lane-declarations.test.cjs:359 (`length, 12`) and
  reviewer-docs-parity.test.cjs:681 (`>= 12`).

THE LOCALE-DOC GAP, and why the parity gate stayed green over it. All four
locale mirrors still documented `--gemini` as a live reviewer flag. The
docs-parity checker asserts the PRESENCE of every current flag and never the
ABSENCE of a retired one, so "0 violations" was never evidence those files were
clean — my earlier reading of it as such was wrong. This is the #2781
locale-drift class in the opposite direction. Fixed across 12 locale files:
COMMANDS.md flag lists and table rows, CONFIGURATION.md `review.models.gemini`
rows and reviewer prose, CLI-TOOLS.md config examples, and
set-up-cross-ai-review.md including its install block and its
which-reviewer-to-choose row, which now recommends Antigravity.

ALSO FOUND, and instructive about my own method: docs/CONFIGURATION.md:297 still
carried a `review.models.gemini` row. My sweep had missed it because my grep
excluded lines matching `gemini-[0-9]` to spare Google's model ids — and that
row's example value is `"gemini-2.5-pro"` on the same line. The exclusion built
to avoid false positives created a false negative.

Remaining comment/example sites: src/review-reviewer-selection.cts:309 and
src/config.cts:598 named the dead flag and key as examples;
gsd-core/references/planning-config.md:269 likewise; and
review-reviewer-selection.cts:22 claimed in the PRESENT tense that gemini is a
lane-only reviewer capability. Line 38 of that same docblock says "Before this
phase the five non-runtime reviewers (gemini, ...)" and is left exactly as is —
that is past-tense history, and rewriting it would falsify the record.

Deliberately still deferred to Phase 4, because it is the RUNTIME axis rather
than the reviewer lane: the locale install-on-your-runtime.md `--gemini --global`
instructions, the USER-GUIDE colon-form notes, and the ARCHITECTURE
runtime-detection flag lists.

Both parity checkers green against the real tree; lint:ci exit 0.

6edd506cc7 fix(#4558): report a byte-identical restore destination as already_present (#4599)
* fix(#4558): report a byte-identical restore destination as already_present

restore-custom-files treated a destination that is byte-identical to its
backup exactly like a missing one: plan reported it as `eligible`, --apply
re-copied the same bytes and reported `restored`, and both counters
included it. Because update.md drives its restore question off
eligible_count, the workflow re-offered the same no-op restore on every
update and accepting it never settled anything.

Emit a distinct `already_present` outcome for that case. It is excluded
from eligible_count and restored_count, --apply writes nothing for it,
and the backup is left intact. A differing destination is still
skipped_destination_exists and a missing one still restores normally.

Regression tests cover the identical-destination plan/apply paths, the
idempotence-after-success cycle (missing -> restored -> silent plan), and
a mixed backup. Docs for the outcome enum are updated to match.

* fix(#4558): tighten already_present wording after review

update.md's RESTORE_ELIGIBLE == 0 branch now also names the already-present
case, CLI-TOOLS.md no longer calls the follow-up plan run "silent" (the
entry is still reported, just never offered), and a test message reads
correctly.

c7956c162b fix(#4652): a todo name must be a basename — containment alone cannot say that
The verification checkpoint caught a real design gap, not a flaky test.

Confining sourcePath/targetPath within todosRoot correctly rejects
`../../escaped`, which leaves the root. It does NOT reject these, because they
all land inside it:

  ../sibling.md   -> <todosRoot>/sibling.md     escapes pending/, not the root
  a/../../b.md    -> <todosRoot>/b.md           same
  sub/name.md     -> <pendingDir>/sub/name.md   inside pending/, but nested

Three committed tests asserted these must be rejected and were right: the
design says "a todo name is a basename, not a path", and #4327 requires the
resolved path stay inside "the todos root (pending and completed subdirs)".
Containment against a root is structurally incapable of expressing "basename" —
it answers "is this inside?", and all three are. The wrong tool was reaching
for the wrong question.

A basename guard now runs BEFORE any path is joined: reject on a `/` or `\`
separator, on a path.basename / path.win32.basename mismatch, on `.` / `..`,
and on a NUL byte. Both separators are checked explicitly because on POSIX a
literal backslash is an ordinary filename character to path.basename but not to
path.win32.basename or to the user's intent — this repo has a documented bug
class for exactly that asymmetry. Same predicate shape as findPhaseArtifact in
check-command-router.cts, so the two agree.

Containment is kept as defense-in-depth rather than replaced. The basename
guard is the specific rule; containment is the backstop.

Message wording matters here and is deliberate: `sub/name.md` does NOT escape
its allowed directory, so reusing the escape message would have stated
something false. It now says the name must be a plain filename, not a path.

docs/CLI-TOOLS.md corrected again, in the opposite direction from last time.
The previous revision said an absolute filename is "folded under the root" and
404s — true then, false now: the basename guard rejects it before any join
happens. Two corrections to one paragraph in one phase is the cost of
documenting behavior while it is still moving; the paragraph now matches the
shipped code.

Verified through the real CLI, not by calling the built function directly:
all eight rejection cases produce the new USAGE message; `ok.md` still
completes and moves to completed/; `missing.md` still gives "Todo not found".

Also corrected the now-stale comment above the isFile() check — it described
`.`/`..` reaching that line, which the basename guard now prevents. The check
itself stays: a bare basename can still name a directory, FIFO or socket in
pending/.

9c20b7b40a fix(#4652): use the validated path, collapse the duplication, correct two false claims
Seven findings from the two-axis review, all fixed in place.

THE ONE THAT MATTERS: cmdTodoComplete validated sourcePath and targetPath and
then ran every fs call against the RAW strings — existsSync, statSync,
readFileSync, platformWriteSync, unlinkSync, and the dry-run path payload —
never sourceCheck.resolved / targetCheck.resolved. That is the exact
"validate one path, use another" shape ADR-4650 names as the defect this epic
exists to prevent, and it is the same bug this phase had just fixed in
check-command-router. Committed inside the fix for it. All I/O now uses the
resolved paths; user-facing messages still echo the raw filename, never a
resolved absolute path.

A VACUOUS TEST, and the false doc claim it was propping up. The test
"[RED #4327] an absolute path outside the project is rejected" would have
passed with ZERO containment logic: path.join(pendingDir, '/abs/outside/x')
yields <pendingDir>/abs/outside/x — Node does not let a later absolute segment
escape — so the name is FOLDED under the root, passes containment, and simply
404s. The test only ever observed "Todo not found". It now asserts what is
actually true and actually valuable: an absolute name is neutralized, and the
real outside file is not read, not moved, and still present afterward.
docs/CLI-TOOLS.md claimed such a path "is rejected as a usage error", which
was false; it now describes the fold-under-root behavior. Traversal and
embedded separators ARE rejected, and those claims stand.

DUPLICATION THIS EPIC EXISTS TO REMOVE. resolvePath already did
isAbsolute-or-join + validatePath + reject; cmdGapAnalysisPlanPost and
cmdCheckPredicate each re-inlined the identical triplet in the same file. Both
now call resolvePath. Cost, stated rather than hidden: its generic message
replaces the two sites' distinct "phase-dir escapes…" wording. The message
still names the offending input, and one predicate with one message is the
point.

SYMLINK COVERAGE was required by #4652's "Done when" and was missing. Added
for both the todos root and --phase-dir, skipping cleanly on EPERM so the
Windows lanes do not fail where unprivileged symlink creation is disallowed.

Both fast-check properties were UNSEEDED. Seeded now.

The changeset named "check decision-coverage-plan" as a boundary; that is a
caller of the shared resolvePath, which the body never mentioned. Corrected.

DISCLOSED, not hidden: ctx.phaseDir is now always the resolved ABSOLUTE path,
so ${PHASE_DIR} interpolation and the "not found in <targetDir>" message show
an absolute value where a relative --phase-dir previously produced a relative
one. That is an observable output change. A test pins it and
docs/reference/gate-predicates.md states it.

Also regenerated scripts/lib/platform-conformance-tier.generated.cjs and its
macos twin — the new tests changed check-predicate.test.cjs's tier
classification. Caught by npm run lint:ci locally rather than by a bench run.

374300da17 fix(#4652): confine every boundary that joins argv to a managed root
Phase 2 of epic #4636, absorbing #4327 and #4354. Implements ADR-4650
decision 3: containment is a boundary concern — the predicate runs where
external input enters, not at whichever interior call site remembered.

Four boundaries now validate against their managed root and reject with a
USAGE-shaped error before touching the filesystem:

  todo complete <name>                 -> todosDir(cwd)
  check predicate --phase-dir <dir>    -> projectDir
  check decision-coverage-plan <dir>   -> projectDir   (via resolvePath)
  check gap-analysis.plan-post <dir>   -> projectDir

#4327 understated its own severity. It reports that a traversal name
"resolves outside the todos root", which reads as an information leak.
Measured, it was destructive: the command exited 0, MOVED the outside file
into completed/, and unlinked the original. cmdTodoComplete ends in
fs.unlinkSync(sourcePath), so an unconfined name consumed across the
boundary rather than merely reading across it. Validation now precedes every
fs call — existsSync, readFileSync, ensureDir, writeSync, unlinkSync — and
both halves of the move are confined, so neither source nor destination can
land outside the root. --dry-run is rejected on the same terms; a preview
must not leak a resolved outside path either.

#4354 reproduces exactly: a BLOCKING gate returned block:false sourced
entirely from a SECURITY.md in a caller-chosen directory outside the project.

THE HARDER HALF, found by the isolated adversarial review of the first
attempt: validating a path and then using a DIFFERENT one closes nothing.
The first fix validated `--phase-dir` joined against `--cwd`, then passed the
RAW unjoined value into the predicate context. gate-predicate-evaluator uses
it as-is and findPhaseArtifact resolves a relative path against the REAL
process cwd — so validation and the read used two different roots whenever
process.cwd() differed from --cwd. Reproduced: running from a directory
holding a plan with `secret_field: LEAKED_VALUE`, a predicate declared
against an empty --cwd project exited 0 and returned "actual":"LEAKED_VALUE".

The rule now applied at all three router sites: **use the validated resolved
path, never the raw input.** Independently re-verified after the fix — the
lookup resolves in the --cwd project and no value leaks.

gate-predicate-evaluator.cts is untouched and still imports no fs. Confining
in the router is what keeps that pure-leaf contract intact AND covers
${PHASE_DIR} interpolation into command-exit-zero, which an evaluator-local
fix would have missed entirely.

Also fixed, same review: `todo complete .` and `..` passed containment
(they resolve to the pending dir, which IS inside the root) and then threw an
uncaught EISDIR with an absolute-path stack trace. Now a clean USAGE
rejection naming the real reason — "todo name is not a file" — rather than
borrowing the escape message, which would have stated something false.

Ripples discharged BEFORE the verification checkpoint rather than after, per
the Phase 1 retrospective: docs/reference/gate-predicates.md and
docs/CLI-TOOLS.md document the new constraints, CONTEXT.md records why
containment lives at the router rather than the evaluator, the changeset is
written, and the install-tree goldens were regenerated to confirm unchanged
(no new shipped file) rather than assumed.

5e0a7b1b56 fix(#4433,#4569,#4126): consolidate the phase-identity seam at name-validity, allocation, and branch-slug (#4640)
* fix(#4433): apply the name-validity guard symmetrically to every milestone-name capture

extractMilestoneHeadingName already refused a punctuation-only captured name
(#4134), but its two sibling capture sites in getMilestoneInfo — the
STATE.md-anchored 🚧-bullet match and the no-STATE.md in-progress 🚧-bullet
fallback — skipped straight to a bare truthiness check, so a malformed bullet
whose only content past the version was punctuation passed through as a real
milestone name.

Extracts the existing inline /[\p{L}\p{N}]/u check into a single shared
hasNameableContent predicate and applies it at all three capture sites, so
the guard is one owner rather than a copy that happened to land at only one
of them.

* test(#4433): pin the name-validity guard at all three milestone-name capture sites

Failing-first coverage for the hasNameableContent extraction: a
punctuation-only 🚧-bullet name must not surface as a real milestone name,
either on the STATE.md-anchored path or the no-STATE.md in-progress
fallback, while a real name (including a digits-only one) still resolves
COMPLETE exactly as before.

* fix(#4569): consolidate decimal-phase-number allocation into one function

cmdPhaseInsert allocated its next decimal sub-phase number by scanning only
on-disk phases/ directories and ### Phase N.M: headings, never the roadmap
summary checklist — so a decimal that existed only as a checklist bullet
(no heading yet, no on-disk directory yet) was invisible, and phase insert
could silently reallocate an already-used number. It also always nested one
level deeper under afterPhase, with no way to request a sibling.

cmdPhaseNextDecimal had its own separate, near-identical two-source scan
(missing the checklist source too) — the exact "duplicate implementations
kept in sync instead of deleted" pattern this issue exists to close.

Extracts scanExistingDecimalPhaseNumbers (directories + headings + checklist
bullets, in one place) and migrates both cmdPhaseInsert and
cmdPhaseNextDecimal onto it — deleting cmdPhaseNextDecimal's own copy rather
than patching it in parallel. Adds an allocation: 'nested' | 'sibling'
argument to cmdPhaseInsert (default 'nested', matching every existing
caller's behavior); a top-level phase with no existing decimal segment falls
back to nested since there is no sibling level to join. No CLI flag wires
'sibling' yet — that is a separate, disclosed follow-up.

* test(#4569): pin decimal-allocation coverage across phase insert and next-decimal

Failing-first coverage for scanExistingDecimalPhaseNumbers: a checklist-only
decimal must not be reallocated by phase insert; a decimal present in
heading, checklist, and on-disk directory simultaneously must count once;
an unrelated phase family's checklist bullet must not cross-pollute; and
phase next-decimal (migrated onto the same shared helper) must see a
checklist-only decimal too, closing the same gap in a second command.

* chore(#4634): extend the phase-id drift guard for name-validity and shell arithmetic

The epic's ratchet requirement: lint-phase-id-drift.cjs must cover the two
new predicates this PR introduces, and must also scan shell inside
gsd-core/workflows/**/*.md and gsd-core/references/**/*.md for
integer-coercing phase-number arithmetic ($((10#...)) and friends), which
neither the canonical TypeScript module nor a source-only lint can reach.

Adds findNameValidityDrift (bans re-deriving /[\p{L}\p{N}]/u outside
hasNameableContent's owner file) and findShellPhaseArithDrift +
scanMarkdownShellArith (bans $((10#...)) in workflow/reference markdown,
sanctioned via <!-- phase-id-owner: --> on the preceding line). scanRepo
keeps its existing, narrower contract (src/**/*.cts only) so the
already-passing "the live repo is clean" test is untouched; a new scanAll
merges both for the CLI's full report.

Running the guard directly against this tree correctly reports the 7
pre-existing #4619 shell sites (workflows/execute-phase.md x4,
workflows/execute-phase/steps/completion-reconciliation.md x2,
references/tdd.md x1) as violations — demonstrating the ratchet works, not
fixing them. #4619 is a live regression tracked and fixed separately; this
PR does not touch those markdown files. A characterization test pins the
current count of 7 so a future change to that number is investigated rather
than silently absorbed.

* fix(#4569): wire --sibling through phase insert's CLI so the argument is reachable

cmdPhaseInsert's allocation parameter had no CLI path to 'sibling' — shipped,

through, and documents the flag in docs/CLI-TOOLS.md.

* test(#4634): demonstrate the two new drift detectors end-to-end via a planted violation

The epic asks for the guard to be "demonstrated by watching it go red" on a
reintroduced copy. The two new detectors (name-validity, shell-arith) had
only unit-level fixture tests; mirrors the existing bracket-rule's
planted-violation-in-a-temp-tree test for both, proving they're actually
wired into scanRepo/scanMarkdownShellArith end-to-end, not just correct in
isolation.

* fix(#4126): consolidate branch-name slug substitution into one shared renderer

cmdCommit (commands.cts) and cmdInitExecutePhase (init.cts) each
independently implemented branch-name template substitution, and both
substituted the literal string 'phase' when phase_slug was empty or
undeliverable — producing a non-identifying branch name (gsd/phase-08-phase)
that contradicted the honestly-reported phase_slug: null in the same
payload. Same structural defect as the other three gaps in this epic: two
consumers reimplementing one concept independently instead of sharing an
owner.

Adds renderPhaseBranchName (src/phase-id.cts) as the sole owner: a real slug
substitutes normally; an empty/undeliverable one drops the {slug} token plus
one adjacent separator (collapsing/trimming the result) rather than
substituting a placeholder word, for the shipped default template and any
user-configured shape alike. Both call sites now delegate to it; the old
inline duplicates are deleted, not kept in sync. {project} substitution
stays a separate step in init.cts, unchanged, since it is a config-level
field with its own fallback contract.

* test(#4126): pin renderPhaseBranchName and both migrated call sites

Property-based coverage for the shared renderer's degrade-path invariant
(output, when non-null, never contains {slug} and never starts/ends with a
separator), plus example coverage for real-slug substitution, empty/null/
non-string slug, token position at either edge, a doubled-separator
template, and the only-{slug} -> null case. One regression test each in
commands.test.cjs and init.test.cjs confirms a phase with no derivable slug
no longer produces a branch name ending in the literal '-phase'.

* fix: route scanExistingDecimalPhaseNumbers through the canonical enumeration owner

Caught by an actual gsd-test run, not a hypothesis: the new decimal-scan
helper (fix(#4569)) enumerated phases/ directories via a raw
fs.readdirSync, which the pre-existing phase-enumeration drift guard
(#3185/#3882) correctly flags as an unsanctioned re-derivation outside its
canonical owner (listAllPhaseDirs / isSentinelPhaseId). Ironic given this
epic's own thesis, and exactly why the guard exists: consolidating one seam
can reintroduce drift in an adjacent one if the new code doesn't route
through what's already there. Migrates the enumeration to listAllPhaseDirs;
identical decimal-detection output for every existing case.

* chore(#4634): extend the drift guard for branch-slug fallback; fix a real regex bug

Adds the fourth detector the epic's ratchet section names ("both
branch-name sites"): bans a `.replace('{slug}', ... || 'phase')` call
outright, sanctioned via renderPhaseBranchName or a dedicated comment.
Wired into scanRepo (no per-file exemption — this is a banned anti-pattern
everywhere, not a grammar with one legitimate owner). Now that #4126's fix
(prior commit) has landed, scanRepo reports zero violations across all four
.cts-scanning rules, restoring the simple "the live repo is clean" assertion
instead of a pinned-known-count characterization.

Also fixes a real bug an actual gsd-test run caught: findNameValidityDrift's
regex didn't tolerate the doubled-backslash template-string form its own
test claimed to cover (0 !== 1) — widened to \{1,2} matching
TOKEN_DRIFT_RE's existing tolerance for the same two forms.

* fix: detectPhaseNumberFromFiles wrongly rejected bare, slug-less phase directories

Caught by an actual gsd-test run on the #4126 regression test, not a
hypothesis: a bare phase directory with no slug remainder (e.g.
.planning/phases/01/) has extractPhaseToken correctly return "01" — which is
simply identical to the directory name in that case, not its no-match
fallback. A stale `token !== phaseDir` check treated that equality as "no
numeric token found" and rejected it regardless, leaving phaseNum null and
silently skipping cmdCommit's phase-branching block entirely (the commit
proceeded on whatever branch was already checked out instead of the
phase branch).

phaseTokenShape.test(normalized) already excludes every genuine non-phase
case on its own: extractPhaseToken's real no-match fallback only fires for a
dirName that doesn't start with a digit or short letter+digit prefix, and
normalizePhaseName's leading-\d+ requirement rejects those regardless. The
equality check was redundant for real rejections and actively wrong for
bare-numeric directories.

4cc2a466b5 fix(#4208): add --files-removed so commit --files can record a move without a directory pathspec (#4253)
* fix(#4208): add --files-removed so commit --files can record a move without a directory pathspec

`cmdCommit`'s `--files` list can stage an addition but never a deletion:
the #2014 guard skips a missing explicit entry because the filesystem
cannot tell "moved away" from "not written yet". A caller that moves a
file therefore had two forms, both wrong — a directory entry records the
move but also commits every unrelated file in that directory (a
concurrent session's in-flight todo, in the unattended execute-phase
sweep), and a file entry leaves the old path's deletion dangling with the
todo tracked at both paths.

`--files-removed <paths>` is the caller-declared delete intent. Each entry
names a file, or a directory whose tracked-but-absent files are the
removals; those paths are staged with `git rm --cached` and join the
commit pathspec. `--files` keeps its skip-if-missing contract untouched.
A file entry still present on disk fails the commit closed with the
existing staging-failure rollback; a never-tracked path is a no-op.
`--files-removed` alone is a declared scope, not the unscoped .planning/
sweep.

The dispatcher previously folded every non-flag token after `--files`
into that list, so a second list flag could not exist; each list now
runs from its flag to the next `--` token.

The execute-phase todo sweep names the moved todos on both sides from
CLOSED[@], and cleanup's archive commit moves .planning/phases/ and
.planning/quick/ under --files-removed.

Fixes #4208

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: cleanup.md — the archive commit moves phases/ and quick/ under --files-removed; the growth is one paragraph stating why those two directories must not be --files entries

* chore(#4208): set changeset fragment pr to 4253

* fix(#4208): fit execute-phase.md under the ADR-857 ceiling and re-point the #2415 guard

Three CI failures, all consequences of this PR's own change.

1. gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase.md was 93,577 bytes against the
   ADR-857 Phase 6 margin gate's <= 93,400 (hard ceiling 93,600). The
   three-line rationale comment plus the four-line array-building block
   added 318 bytes to a file that had only 141 of headroom on next.

   Move the rationale to docs/CLI-TOOLS.md -- which this PR already
   extends with the --files-removed contract, and which is where the
   ADR-857 gate wants call-site detail to live rather than in the host
   workflow -- and fold the array build onto one line. 93,577 -> 93,372.

2/3. tests/close-phase-todos-stage-deletion.test.cjs pinned the #2415
   guarantee to its old MECHANISM: it regex-matched the literal
   .planning/todos/{completed,pending}/ directory pathspecs in the
   commit --files list. This PR deliberately replaced those with named
   files (a directory entry also committed an unrelated todo a
   concurrent session dropped in mid-close), so the guard failed on a
   change it should have accepted.

   Re-point it at the new mechanism without weakening it: assert the
   ADDED array reaches --files, the REMOVED array reaches
   --files-removed, STATE.md is still committed, and -- newly -- that
   the two arrays are built from $COMPLETED_DIR and $PENDING_DIR
   respectively. Verified by negative control: deleting
   --files-removed "${REMOVED[@]}" from the workflow still fails the
   test, so the #2415 regression remains caught.

Note for the merge queue: #4233 also grows execute-phase.md (+114). The
two are additive -- different regions, no textual conflict -- so with
both landed the file reaches ~93,486, over the 93,400 margin though
under the 93,600 hard ceiling. Whichever merges second will need to
reclaim ~86 bytes.

this PR: #4284 grew execute-phase.md by 95 bytes (93,259 -> 93,354),
so this PR's +113 landed at 93,467 against the <= 93,400 margin in
tests/claude-orchestration.test.cjs.

Compact the close_phase_todos step this PR already edits -- drop the
PHASE_NUM indirection, fold the normaliser and the match guard, print
the closed list with one printf, shorten the step's prose -- without
touching the mechanism the #2415 guard pins (ADDED/REMOVED arrays, the
plain mv). 93,467 -> 93,349: 5 bytes under the base, so the PR no
longer spends any of next's 46 bytes of headroom.

* fix(#4208): classify absent index entries before staging a removal; restore removed entries exactly on rollback

Review of #4253 found three Majors with one root cause: the removal
side judged presence by fs.lstatSync alone, where the addition side
already reads `git ls-files -v` state. Absence from the worktree is not
removal:

- a submodule gitlink (mode 160000) whose directory was deleted by hand
  lists like a file and was `rm --cached` with no .gitmodules cleanup;
- a skip-worktree path is never materialised by a cone-mode sparse
  checkout, so a directory entry over a sparse-excluded tree dropped
  that whole tree from the index;
- an assume-unchanged path's worktree state is not something git
  itself consults;
- an intent-to-add entry (`git add -N`) renders as a plain cached entry
  on the empty blob, yet nothing tracked exists to remove and no
  rollback can restore the flag.

The index listing now carries each entry's `ls-files -v -s` tag, mode
and stage. Only a plain cached (H), stage-0, non-gitlink entry is a
removal candidate; every other state is left alone under a directory
entry (exactly like a present file) and fails closed when named
directly, with the state in the error. "Named directly" is decided on
RESOLVED paths, not strings -- realpath of the longest existing prefix
with the absent tail re-appended: an absolute path, `./x`, `--cwd`, or a
symlinked spelling of the tree (macOS `/var` ->
`/private/var`, where `process.cwd()` is the real path and the caller's
absolute path is not -- CI on this round's first push) all resolve to the
same entry, where a string compare against git's cwd-relative output
silently took the directory polarity (pre-push review, driven; the
symlink case is driven with an aliased fixture directory). The enumeration's domain is what
`ls-files -v -s` can emit for an index entry, stated at the classifier.

The third Major -- on an unborn HEAD a successful `rm --cached` was
never rolled back when a later entry failed -- is fixed differently
from the review's suggestion. Pushing the path into stagedPaths would
put it on the commit pathspec, which a root commit refuses ("pathspec
did not match", driven), and `git reset -- <path>` cannot restore an
entry with no HEAD anyway. Instead every index entry this call removes
is recorded (mode, blob) before the `rm` and put back with
`update-index --cacheinfo` on rollback. That also restores a
caller-pre-staged blob at a removed path exactly, where a reset would
have silently replaced it with HEAD's version. The rollback is
best-effort, as the addition-side reset already was, and the docs say
so.

Eight tests: gitlink under a directory entry, named directly, and named
by absolute path; skip-worktree both forms; intent-to-add both forms;
assume-unchanged named; unborn-HEAD partial failure restores the
removal; pre-staged blob survives the rollback.

* fix(#4208): a boolean flag inside a commit path list no longer ends the list

Review minor on #4253: collectList stopped at the next `--` token, so a
positional wedged between a boolean flag and the next list flag
(`--files a --amend b --files-removed c`) was claimed by neither list
and silently dropped -- a regression in shape against the old
slice-to-end parse, which filtered `--` tokens and kept `b`. No current
call site interleaves that way, but the gap was real.

A list now runs to the next LIST flag (`--files` / `--files-removed`)
and skips boolean flags on the way, and a REPEATED list flag merges
its runs (`--files a --files b` -> [a, b]) as the slice-to-end parse
did -- a first cut stopped at the repeat and dropped `b`, the same
silent-drop shape one level over (pre-post comment audit). The only
change #4208 makes to parsing is that a second list flag can exist.
Tests: STATE.md wedged between --no-verify and --files-removed lands
in the commit; both runs of a repeated --files reach it.

* test(#4208): drive the reappearance window with a post-index-change hook

Review nit on #4253: the defensive re-check for a file recreated between
the absence test and `git rm --cached` -- the concurrent-session race
this PR's own changeset names -- had no test. git fires
post-index-change the moment `rm --cached` writes the index, so a hook
that copies the file back exactly then exercises the window
deterministically. The call reports staging_failed / "reappeared on
disk", commits nothing, and the rollback restores the removed entry.

* fix(#4208): restore a staged removal when the call records nothing

A `git rm --cached` that succeeds mutates the index whether or not a commit
follows. Only the staging-failure rollback put those entries back, so a call
that reached `nothing_to_commit` reported no state change while the removal sat
staged -- riding along on the caller's next commit.

The review named the unborn-HEAD, removal-only shape. Keying on `headExists`
would have fixed half of it: the guard also fires with a real HEAD when the
removed path is index-only (added, never committed), because `diff HEAD` reads
clean with the path absent on both sides. Both shapes now restore, at both
`nothing_to_commit` exits. The failure exits are deliberately left alone --
they report a failure rather than no-change, and the addition side leaves its
own staged paths there too.

* refactor(#4208): lift declared-removal staging out of the cmdCommit hotspot

`cmdCommit` was a critical-risk hotspot before this flag existed, and #4208 had
inlined another ~270 lines into it. `stageDeclaredRemovals(cwd, removedDeclared)`
now owns the index-state classification, path canonicalisation and entry
recording, returning the pathspec entries and the recorded removals its caller
merges.

Pure motion: no branch, message or probe changed. Only the two accumulators
became local names, and `restoreRemovedEntries` stays with the caller because
the exits that restore are the caller's. cmdCommit 888 -> 625 lines here; the
extracted helper is 277.

(Figures corrected after publication: an earlier version of this message said
854 -> 591 and claimed the result was below cmdCommit's pre-#4208 shape. Both
were wrong -- the count came from a faulty brace scanner, and `next`'s cmdCommit
is 581, so this is above it, not below.)

* test(#4208): property-test the two-list commit parser

RULESET.TESTS.property-based-testing asks a parser for at least one property
test asserting a domain invariant; `collectList` had only hand-picked examples,
one per shape a review round had already broken.

Hoisted it to module scope as `collectListFlagValues` and exported it in the
file's existing exported-for-tests convention -- a parser reachable only by
spawning the CLI can be tested one example at a time and no faster.

Three properties over generated argv: every positional lands in exactly the run
open at it whatever the flag order or count; no positional after the first list
flag is dropped or double-claimed; and with `--files-removed` absent the parse
equals the pre-#4208 slice-to-end parse. Controlled against two mutants -- a run
ending at any `--` token, and a repeated list flag that does not merge -- each
of which the properties catch.

* test(#4208): pin cleanup.md's archive commit to --files-removed

execute-phase.md's rewrite is pinned by the #2415 guard in this file;
cleanup.md's equivalent was not, so reverting its routing would have been
caught by nothing -- the mechanism's unit tests never read this file and pass
either way.

Asserts the two archived directories are under --files-removed and NOT under
--files (where a directory entry sweeps in a concurrent session's in-flight
writes), and that the destinations and STATE.md stay on the additive half.
Controlled by restoring the pre-#4208 sweep, which fails it.

* test(#4208): pin that a symlink to a directory is one tracked path

Review of #4253 read the `lstatSync(...).isDirectory()` test as a
symlink-following defect. Driving it says the opposite: git tracks the link as
a single blob (mode 120000) and does not traverse it, so the tracked paths
"under" it live at the real directory and were never named by the caller.
Following the link would stage those -- the directory sweep #4208 exists to
remove -- while the named entry still sat present on disk.

Pinned rather than changed, with the premise driven in the test body. Swapping
`lstatSync` for `statSync` -- the prescription as written -- fails it.

* fix(#4208): report a removal the call could not put back

Round review of this round found the restore itself unchecked: the helper
ignored `update-index`'s exit code, so a FAILED restore still reported
`nothing_to_commit` -- the same false "no state changed" the restore exists to
prevent, surviving one level down on the restore-failure path.

It now returns a boolean. The two no-change exits report `staging_failed`
naming the paths left staged; the staging-failure rollback still ignores it,
deliberately, because it is already reporting a failure and an unwritable index
is usually the failure being reported.

Driven with a post-index-change hook that makes the git dir unwritable the
moment `rm --cached` lands, so the restore cannot take its lock. Reverting both
guards fails the test.

* fix(#4208): disclose a removal the rollback could not restore

Round review refuted the reasoning behind leaving the rollback path's restore
unchecked. The claim was that this exit is already reporting a failure, so the
restore's result adds nothing. The counterexample is the ordinary case: the
reported failure is usually a DIFFERENT cause -- a contradictory declaration, a
reappeared path -- so a caller reading `failures` sees only that cause and
learns nothing about the removal still sitting in its index.

The rollback now appends a disclosure entry per un-restored removal, naming the
path. The reason and `file` still report the failure that caused the rollback;
the disclosure is additive.

Also moves the restore-failure test's chmod into a `finally`: `t.after` runs
AFTER the parent `afterEach`, so a throw before it left the fixture undeletable.

Both driven; reverting the disclosure fails the new test.

* fix(#4208): decide index state by observation, never by an exit code

The restore added two commits earlier keyed both its record decision and its
success verdict on git's exit code. An exit code answers "did the command
succeed", never "did the index change" -- execGit collapses a spawn timeout to
a non-zero exit, and a killed git can already have written the index. Round
review drove four failures from that one assumption, in both directions:

  - a failed `rm` still contributed an entry, so the rollback disclosed a
    removal that was never staged (stale index.lock);
  - a timed-out `rm` whose write DID land contributed none, so a real mutation
    was neither restored nor disclosed;
  - a timed-out `update-index` whose write landed reported failure, publishing
    a "could NOT be restored" disclosure that was false;
  - and the read-back that replaced it omitted `-z`, so core.quotePath rendered
    `café.md` as `"caf\303\251.md"` and an exactly-restored entry read as not
    restored -- the same quoting defect this PR already fixed for `preStaged`.

Everything now observes the index. A failed `rm` re-reads `ls-files -z` for the
path: gone means this call owns the removal and records it; still there means
nothing was staged; a probe that cannot answer becomes its own failure entry
rather than an assumption. The restore verifies the same way, comparing the
WHOLE entry (mode, blob, stage), because `--cacheinfo` restores all three and a
path-only test accepts an entry that came back as something else.

The verdict is three-valued -- `restored` / `not-restored` / `unverified` --
and the unverified wording says the restore could not be VERIFIED rather than
that it failed. The rm's own failure is pushed ahead of any probe diagnostic so
a timed-out removal keeps `timed_out: true` and its own message as the reported
cause.

Five regression cases, each negative-controlled against the shape it pins.

* fix(#4208): treat a declared removal path as a path, not a pathspec

An index path handed back to git is parsed as a PATHSPEC, and the removal side
handed several back. Three driven harms, all of them the sweep-in this flag
exists to remove, arriving through the operand rather than through a directory
entry:

  - a tracked file literally named `.planning/*.md` made `rm --cached` GLOB: it
    removed `peer.md` and `stays.md` too, only the declared entry was recorded,
    so the rollback restored one of three and the other two rode out as staged
    deletions the result disclosed nowhere;
  - the same name reached `git commit -- <paths>`, which globbed and committed
    an undeclared `M peer.md` alongside the declared removal;
  - and the intent-to-add probe (`diff --cached` over the path) matched a
    STAGED PEER instead of itself, so an `add -N` entry was misclassified as
    ordinary content, removed, and restored by `--cacheinfo` -- which cannot
    restore the intent flag. It came back as a real staged addition.

Every operand on this path is now `:(literal)`: the `rm`, both index probes,
the intent-to-add probe, the restore read-back, the entry-level `ls-files` /
`ls-tree`, and -- for the REMOVAL-derived entries only -- the downstream
`ls-files` / dry-run / `diff HEAD` / `commit` pathspec. `--files` entries keep
whatever pathspec behaviour they have today; that is not this change's to
alter. `:(literal)` still resolves a directory to its descendants (driven), so
the directory form is unchanged.

Closes what an earlier cut of this commit declared as a residual: a filename
beginning with `:` is now removable end to end, because the commit pathspec no
longer reinterprets it.

Also fixes a MINOR from the same review: cleanup.md's contract test checked the
destinations' position relative to `--files-removed` but never that `--files`
was present at all, so deleting the flag still passed.

Un-literalising the seven sites fails three of the new tests.

* fix(#4208): scope the rollback to the caller's own name space

Round review drove a rollback that destroyed the caller's own staged work. Two
causes, one of them pre-existing:

  - `git diff --cached` prints REPO-relative paths whatever the cwd, while
    `stagedPaths` holds the caller's cwd-relative names. In a project nested
    inside its repo (`<repo>/sub/.planning/...`) the two name spaces never
    intersect, so `preStaged` matched NOTHING, every path landed in `toUnstage`,
    and the reset unstaged a caller-staged deletion and modification that this
    call had never touched. `--relative` makes the two sets comparable, and is a
    no-op when the project IS the repo root. This governs the `--files` side too
    and predates this flag.
  - the rollback's `reset` was the last place a removal-derived name reached git
    as a bare pathspec; it takes `asPathspec` like every other site.

Driven on a nested fixture; dropping `--relative` fails the new test.

* test(#4208): gate six fixtures that Windows cannot construct

CI's `test (windows-latest, 24, shard 2/3)` went red on this round. Two
primitives the new fixtures rely on do not exist on Windows, both driven on a
real Windows host rather than inferred:

  - a filename containing `*` or `:` cannot be created at all (`IOException` /
    `FileNotFoundException`), which is four of the pathspec fixtures;
  - `chmod` cannot make a directory unwritable — a write into a ReadOnly
    directory succeeds — so the two restore-failure fixtures cannot drive the
    failure they exist to drive.

Each is skipped on win32 with its measured reason, in the repo's existing
`{ skip: process.platform === 'win32' ? '<reason>' : false }` form. The
behaviours they pin are platform-independent; only the fixtures are not.

The remaining Windows red was mine, not the platform's: `git rev-parse :<path>`

rejected it as an ambiguous argument. The hook in the same test already used
the slash form.

Not gated — the behaviour it pins is portable; only the argument was not.

38e4ce5f62 fix(#4186): anchored status vocabulary, record-session arg guard, recount pin (#4381)
* fix(#4186): anchored status vocabulary, record-session arg guard, recount pin

Three defects from #4186:

1. normalizeStateStatus ran a first-match-wins SUBSTRING chain over the
   free-prose body Status field, so prose merely mentioning a status word
   was silently rewritten to a credible wrong token (a .planning/ path in
   Italian prose -> status: planning; verifica -> verifying; completezza ->
   completed). Recognition is now an ANCHORED whole-field match against a
   declared vocabulary (STATUS_EXACT_TOKENS + STATUS_ANCHORED_PATTERNS,
   state-document.cts) — case/whitespace-tolerant, branch-order artifacts
   preserved (Planning complete -> planning; Phase complete — ready for
   verification -> verifying). The recorded lenient fallback (#3873 row 26)
   stands: unrecognized prose passes through verbatim. Read-side consumers
   (W011, statusline) ride the same function.

2. The progress recount skew (stray *-SUMMARY.md inflating
   completed_plans) is already dead on next via #1988/PR #2016
   (countMatchedSummaries pairs summaries to plans) — verified live and
   pinned with regression rows composed against the #4129/#4359 ratchet.

3. state record-session with no args executed and wrote STATE.md; it now
   errors like state update (stopped-at or resume-file required), handler-
   side so SDK callers are covered too. Four tests pinning the bare-call
   write are updated to the new contract.

* fix(#4186): update status pins to the anchored vocabulary contract

Bench round 1 follow-ups:

- Legacy bare 'Milestone complete' kept as reader-side vocabulary
  (ADR-2207 removed the writers, not recognition of legacy files).
- state.test pins updated: 'Paused at Plan 3' and round-trip
  'Executing Plan 5' were pins of the substring guessing itself —
  the round-trip now uses the real handler form 'Executing Phase 5'.
- record-session no-op/no-fields tests repurposed to the usage-error
  contract (CLI + SDK-level ExitError), byte-unchanged assertions kept.
- statusline tests repinned: vocabulary values collapse to keywords;
  narratives render the documented first-word fallback instead of a
  guessed token. Hook doc comment updated to match.
- docs-guard exempt baseline: state.test.cjs now cites docs/CLI-TOOLS.md.
- docs/CLI-TOOLS.md: record-session signature notes the required flag.

7c116b1c17 fix(#3697): warn when the phase-complete Requirements-line tokenizer under-selects REQ-IDs (#3744)
* fix(#3697): warn when the Requirements line under-selects REQ-IDs

`cmdPhaseComplete` tokenizes ROADMAP's `**Requirements**:` line by splitting
on `[,\s]+` and keeping tokens matching the anchored REQ-ID shape. That is
correct for the canonical comma list the template ships, and silently wrong
for every other form:

  `RANGE-01 … RANGE-05`  ->  the two ENDPOINTS only; the interior IDs are
                             never considered, yet `requirements_updated`
                             reports true with zero warnings
  `RANGE-01…05`          ->  ZERO IDs; the whole line is inert

The silence is structural: the only cross-check, `ghostReqIds`, is itself
`citedReqIds.filter(...)`, so an ID the tokenizer dropped is invisible to it
by construction — and to `traceabilityWriteMisses` and `requirements_updated`
with it.

Warn on both paths. This does not add range support: the selected set is
unchanged, so no existing ledger write changes. The trigger is ID-SHAPED
EVIDENCE only — an ID-shaped substring the tokenizer did not select, or a
range operator joining two IDs — with parenthetical citations and HTML
comments stripped before the scan, so the #2334/#2339 over-warning on
`None`, on the shipped `<!-- brackets optional -->` template comment, and on

Fixes #3697

* fix(#3697): rework under-selection detection onto tokens, not a free-text scan

Round 2, driven by the P4.6 cross-AI review (codex, gpt-5.6-sol) of b3ce71cb.
That review refuted 5 of 9 claims; three were false-positive classes in exactly
the category #2334/#2339 had to REMOVE:

  `RANGE-01, RANGE-02 - 3 points`        the bare-hyphen alternative read
                                         `RANGE-02 - 3` as a range
  `REQ-01, REQ-02 — locked per ADR-7.`   the trailing period kept `ADR-7.` out
                                         of the anchored filter, so the
                                         unanchored substring scan reported it
                                         as unparsed
  `REQ-01, REQ-02 (see (ADR-7), then ADR-8)`
                                         nested parens left `ADR-8)` behind

Replaces the free-text substring scan + loose range regex with three narrow,
token-based rules (R1 range-shaped token, R2 pure range operator flanked by two
selected IDs, R3 zero-selection with ID-shaped text). Also fixes the review's
CLAIM 9: the warning said IDs were "marked complete" when a ghost range marks
nothing — it now says "selected".

Side effect: the two false NEGATIVES the same review found are now covered —
`RANGE-01 through RANGE-05` and a parenthesised `(plus RANGE-02..RANGE-05)`.

NOT YET DONE (see the handoff prompt): regression tests for the four false
positives, the two new true positives, and the #3697-4 tightening the review's
CLAIM 8 asked for (it currently filters on the warning's phrasing rather than
asserting silence). Verified so far: tsc clean, the 10 existing #3697 tests
green, and a 20-case standalone harness covering every case above.

* test(#3697): pin the v2 token-detector boundary end-to-end

Six new cases + two hardenings for the review findings against v1:

- #3697-1 gains the worded spaced range (`RANGE-01 through RANGE-05`) —
  the operator set's `to|thru|through` arm was previously untested.
- #3697-5 (new): a tight range hidden inside balanced parentheses
  (`RANGE-01 (plus RANGE-02..RANGE-05)`) warns, names the range token,
  and ticks exactly RANGE-01 — the paren shave must not hide it.
- #3697-4 gains the four false-positive classes a free-text detector
  produced: numeric estimate (`- 3 points`), date annotation, em-dash
  citation with trailing period (`— locked per ADR-7.`), and nested
  parenthetical citations.
- #3697-3 and #3697-4 now assert the ENTIRE warnings channel is empty,
  not that one phrase is absent — a re-worded over-warning cannot pass.

Negative control: against the merge-base with its lib rebuilt, all 6
defect tests fail and all 10 controls pass.

* fix(#3697): close round-2 review findings — annotation false positives

Round 2 of the adversarial review (against 822a72a04) refuted five
claims; this closes the false-positive class and the cheap misses:

- R1's bare-hyphen arm now demands a full ID on BOTH sides
  (`REQ-01-REQ-05`): `LETTERS-\d+-\d+` is also a date-like annotation
  (`FY-2026-08`) and a sub-numbered ID, and warning on those is the
  expensive class. Tight hyphen shorthand with a live selection is the
  disclosed false negative; at zero selection R3 still catches it.
- R2 requires the endpoint pair to imply an INTERIOR (same prefix,
  gap > 1): `REQ-02 - REQ-03` selects both endpoints and can drop
  nothing, so an annotation hyphen between adjacent IDs stays silent.
- R3 skips placeholder-led lines: `None (per ADR-7)` is a declared-empty
  line citing its rationale, not unparsed residue.
- Token shave: quotes/backticks now shaved from alphanumeric tokens
  (`` `RANGE-02..RANGE-05` `` warns); punctuation-only tokens get a
  bracket-only shave so `(..)` surfaces its operator.
- 256-char token cap bounds the quadratic unanchored substring test.
- Warning text mentions range expansion only when a range rule fired.

Tests: 6 new cases (22 total). Negative control against the merge-base:
8 defect tests fail, 14 controls pass.

* fix(#3697): close round-3 review findings — half-spaced ranges, cross-prefix annotations, markdown wrappers

Round 3 of the adversarial review (against 2eb92dd0e) refuted four
claims; this closes them:

- Half-spaced ranges (`REQ-01 -REQ-05`, `REQ-01- REQ-05`) split at the
  tokenizer before R1's `\s*` can see them and under-selected silently.
  A glued-fragment rule warns when an operator is glued to a full ID
  with an ID-shaped neighbour on the open side and the endpoint pair
  implies an interior.
- Cross-prefix pairs around a separator no longer read as ranges:
  `REQ-02 - (ADR-7)` and `REQ-02 (...) (ADR-7)` are annotations, and
  real ranges are same-prefix by nature. `impliesInterior` now returns
  false on prefix mismatch and computes the gap with BigInt (parseInt
  lost precision past 2^53).
- The token shave now removes markdown emphasis markers and curly
  quotes, so `**None** (per ADR-7)` reaches the placeholder gate and
  `**RANGE-02..RANGE-05**` reaches R1.
- The unanchored-substring cap rises to 2048 (a markdown-link range
  with a long URL cleared 256); the anchored range regexes scan
  linearly and drop their cap.

Tests: 6 new cases (28 total; 377/377 file-wide). Negative control
against the merge-base: 11 defect tests fail, 17 controls pass.

* fix(#3697): round-4 review finding — word operators excluded from glued-fragment rule

`TOREQ-05` is a valid prefix-agnostic REQ-ID, and the glued-fragment
rule read it as `to` + `REQ-05`, warning on the canonical two-ID list
`REQ-01, TOREQ-05`. Glued fragments are now SYMBOL-operator-only
(`..`+, ellipsis, dashes): a word operator glued to an ID is an ID,
not a range spelling.

Tests: word-operator-prefixed ID control (misparse channel silent; the
fixture's ghost-ID warning legitimately fires, so the whole-channel
assertion stays with the registered controls) and an underscore-wrapped
tight-range defect case. 30 targeted cases; 379/379 file-wide; negative
control: 12 defect tests fail on the merge-base, 18 controls pass.

* fix(#3697): round-5 review findings — trailing word-op glue, dot shave, honest wording

- The glued-fragment TRAILING arm takes the word operators back: an ID
  must end in digits, so `REQ-01through` can never be an ID — the
  round-4 TOREQ collision was leading-arm-only, and symbol-only on both
  arms lost the `REQ-01through REQ-05` typo class.
- A trailing run of 2+ dots survives the punctuation shave: `REQ-01..`
  is a glued range operator, not sentence punctuation, and the shave
  was silently eating the `REQ-01.. REQ-05` form.
- The warning now says the line "could not be parsed as" a
  comma-separated REQ-ID list: `**REQ-01**, **REQ-05**` IS such a list
  — the selector just cannot parse decorated tokens — and a warning
  that misstates the input teaches readers to distrust it.

Tests: two new trailing-glue defect cases (32 targeted; 381/381
file-wide). Negative control: 14 defect tests fail on the merge-base,
18 controls pass.

* test(#3697): use t.after for cleanup per CONTRIBUTING test ruleset

CONTRIBUTING bans try/finally inside test bodies (it masks failures);
the approved shape is `t.after(() => cleanup(tmpDir))`. All seven
converted tests are this PR's own additions; the file's pre-existing
instances are untouched.

* chore(#3697): add changeset fragment for the Requirements-line under-selection warning

changeset-lint fails on this PR (fail_missing_fragment): src/phase.cts is a
user-facing surface and the branch carried no .changeset/*.md. Adds the Fixed
fragment via `npm run changeset -- --type Fixed --pr 3744`, symptom-led per
the house format, with the (#3697) backlink.

* refactor(#3697): extract the Requirements-line detector to a testable surface

Round-3 review Blocker 1 requires a fast-check property test over this
detector (`RULESET.TESTS.property-based-testing`: modules implementing
parsing contracts must include at least one), and Blocker 2 requires
limit-1/limit/limit+1 fixtures on its 2048-char token cap
(`RULESET.TESTS.boundary-coverage.fixtures`). Neither is expressible while
the logic is a closure inside `cmdPhaseComplete`: every existing #3697 test
reaches it by spawning the CLI, and a property test cannot pay a subprocess
per generated case.

So the selector and the three detection rules move to module scope as
`analyzeRequirementsLine` (pure, exported) plus
`formatRequirementsLineWarning`, and `cmdPhaseComplete` calls them. This
commit changes NO behaviour: `tests/phase.test.cjs` is untouched here, and
the pre-round suite passes against it unmodified (403/403).

Two things the move makes explicit rather than incidental. The selector and
the detector tokenize the SAME line DIFFERENTLY — the selector strips only
`[` and `]`, the detector also shaves quotes, emphasis and trailing sentence
punctuation — and that gap is deliberate: it is why `ADR-7)` is not selected
while `ADR-7` is still nameable in a warning. They now sit adjacent with the
reason written down, so they cannot drift apart silently.

And the stale citations in the moved comment are corrected. It pointed at
src/phase.cts:833,920,1078 for the `**Requirements**: TBD` seeds, which had
drifted to 1132/1237/1413, and at `templates/roadmap.md:32`, which is
`gsd-core/templates/roadmap.md:32`. Both are now anchored by content.

* fix(#3697): stop the warning claiming a misparse that did not happen

Round-3 review Major 3 and Minor 4. Both are the same defect: the warning
asserted more than the evidence supported.

MAJOR 3 — a correct comma list such as `RANGE-01, RANGE-02 — RANGE-05
deferred` warned "could not be parsed ... Range forms are not expanded;
rewrite the line". Reproduced: it selects RANGE-01, RANGE-02 AND RANGE-05,
i.e. every ID written on the line. Nothing was dropped, and the pinned
control only stayed silent because its pair was ADJACENT (gap == 1), so the
control was passing by accident of the fixture rather than by the rule.

The obvious fix — go silent — is not available. `RANGE-02 — RANGE-05` as a
range and as an annotation separator are textually identical, and no
token-level rule separates them; staying quiet re-opens the exact silent
under-selection #3697 is about. Deciding the ambiguity by assertion in
either direction is wrong. So it is DISCLOSED: the warning now has two
channels, chosen by whether any ID-shaped token was actually left unselected
(`droppedIdShaped`).

  * something was dropped (tight range, glued fragment, inert residue)
    -> "could not be parsed as a comma-separated REQ-ID list", as before.
  * nothing was dropped (only the spaced-operator rule fired)
    -> "contains what reads as a range between two cited REQ-IDs", stating
    both readings and saying explicitly that an annotation separator means
    the line is already correct.

This retires the "could not be parsed" wording for the four #3697-1 spaced
cases too, and that is a deliberate expectation change rather than a fix
counted twice: those lines never failed to parse either. They still warn,
still name the selected IDs, and still assert the endpoint-only marking is
unchanged; #3697-1 now also asserts the misparse channel stays SILENT.

MINOR 4 — `Deferred (see ADR-7)` reported `Unparsed text: ADR-7`, naming a
citation as requirement content it had failed to read. The trigger is
correct and stays: #3697's acceptance criterion asks for a warning "when it
selects zero IDs from a line that is non-empty and is not the `TBD`
placeholder", and inferring placeholder-ness from arbitrary prose is the
free-text heuristic this detector exists to avoid. What was wrong is the
wording, so the non-range arm now says "ID-shaped text that was not
selected" and names the escape the author actually has (`TBD` / `None`).

Tests: #3697-9 (three spaced forms — must warn, must NOT claim a misparse,
must offer both readings) and #3697-10 (`Deferred (see ADR-7)`, `N/A
(tracked in ADR-12)` — must warn, must not say "Unparsed text", must not
diagnose a range, must name the placeholder escape).

Reversion control: reverting the ambiguous channel fails #3697-9 (3 named
tests); reverting the R3 wording fails #3697-10 (2 named tests).

* fix(#3697): cap every token predicate, complete the dash set, cover the boundary

Round-3 review Blocker 2 and Nit 6, plus one self-found finding. All three
are about the detector's own predicates, so they land together.

BLOCKER 2 — the 2048-char budget had no boundary coverage.
`RULESET.TESTS.boundary-coverage.fixtures` requires limit-1 / limit /
limit+1 for any budget parameter. #3697-B1 and #3697-B2 now exercise 2047 /
2048 / 2049 against BOTH predicate families the cap guards, and each asserts
its fixture's exact length before asserting behaviour, so a mis-built
fixture fails loudly rather than passing at the wrong size. Clause (d) of
that rule — an input pushed within reserve-distance of the limit — has no
referent here: this is a hard cap with no reserve constant beside it, and
the test comment says so rather than leaving the omission to be re-derived.

NIT 6 — the cap guarded only the unanchored ID-substring regex. The
anchored range regexes were left uncapped, justified by a comment asserting
they scan linearly. The finding is right that this is informational (they
are anchored; the input is a local ROADMAP.md), but an asserted property is
cheaper to enforce than to defend, so all three predicates now share one
`short()` guard. #3697-B2 is what pins it: at 2049 the anchored scan must
now decline to classify.

SELF-FOUND (RV4 guard-shape census) — the range-operator set is a list this
code fixes at author time over a domain that grows without it, so the round
owes a census of what the enumeration reaches.

  reached:     `..`+, U+2026, U+2013, U+2014, ASCII `-`, to/thru/through
  NOT reached: U+2010 hyphen, U+2011 non-breaking hyphen, U+2012 figure
               dash, U+2015 horizontal bar, U+2212 minus sign
  consequence: a range spelled with any of those is SILENTLY under-selected
               — #3697's own defect, in the code that exists to fix it

Those five close. They are the same operator at a different codepoint and
carry none of the ASCII hyphen's collision risk, because they are not the
REQ-ID separator: `FY-2026-08` is date-shaped only with ASCII hyphens, so a
U+2010 never reaches the ID shape. They therefore join the NOHYPHEN arm
beside `—` and `–`; the strict full-ID-both-sides shape the bare hyphen is
held to is untouched, and #3697-12 pins that.

Still NOT reached, declined with reason rather than left unstated: `→`, `~`,
`..=`, `..<`, `until`, and `up to` (two tokens, so never one operator
token). Each is a symbol or word with an independent non-range use between
two REQ-IDs — the over-warning class #2334 cost three rounds.

Reversion control: reverting the uniform cap fails #3697-B2 (limit+1);
reverting the dash set fails #3697-11 (5 named tests).

* test(#3697): add the fast-check property coverage the parser rule requires

Round-3 review Blocker 1. `RULESET.TESTS.property-based-testing` (CONTEXT.md)
requires modules implementing parsing contracts to carry at least one
fast-check property test asserting a domain invariant, and the round-2 diff
had zero occurrences of `fc.` across its +311 test lines. Five properties,
1,900 generated cases:

  P1  soundness of silence (boundary containment) — for ANY canonical comma
      list of well-formed REQ-IDs, the selected set EQUALS the written set
      and nothing warns. This is the #2334 over-warning invariant and the
      #3697 under-warning invariant asserted as one statement, over
      generated IDs rather than hand-picked ones. It generalises #3697-4b:
      a prefix beginning with a word operator (`TORANGE-05`) is an ID, and
      P1 covers that class rather than the single example.
  P2  completeness — a same-prefix pair with an interior between them,
      separated by any of the nine spaced operators, ALWAYS warns.
  P3  the #2334 invariant — an ADJACENT pair around a separator can drop
      nothing, so it stays silent however it is annotated.
  P4  totality + idempotency — total over arbitrary strings, deterministic,
      and the formatter agrees with the analysis on whether there is
      anything to say (a warn with no text, or text with no warn, is a
      channel that can go silent or noisy on its own).
  P5  containment — every selected ID is ID-shaped and appears verbatim in
      the input.

Honest scoping, since a property test is easy to overclaim: P1, P3, P4 and
P5 hold against the round-2 code as well as this one — they are regression
guards, not bug-finders, and their value is that the invariants are now
stated and generatively checked rather than implied by examples. P2 is the
one that would have failed before the dash enumeration was completed.

fast-check v4 removed `fc.stringOf`, so the ID-prefix tail is built from
`fc.array(...).map(join)` with the alphabet pinned to the selector's own
`[A-Z0-9]` class.

These live in tests/phase.test.cjs rather than a new
`phase.property.test.cjs`: `lint-test-file-count` caps a production module
at 2 test files and phase.cts is already at its allowlisted entry, so a new
file would trade one gate for another.

* docs(#3697): document the ROADMAP Requirements-line grammar

Round-3 review Minor 5 — the change adds net-new user-visible warning output
for a grammar constraint documented nowhere under docs/. `type: Fixed` is
docs-exempt so this does not block, but a warning about a rule the reader
cannot look up is not actionable, and that is worth fixing whether or not a
gate demands it.

Added as a subsection of `phase complete` in docs/CLI-TOOLS.md, beside the
existing SUMMARY artifact-check advisory it is a sibling of: the supported
comma-list form, why ranges are deliberately not expanded, that `TBD` and
`None` are the entire placeholder vocabulary, and what each of the two
warning voices means — including that the range/annotation one may be
reporting a line that is already correct.

Existing file rather than a new one, deliberately: docs/ carries generated
indexes and zh-CN / ja-JP trees, and a new top-level page invites a parity
or index gate this change has no reason to touch.

* fix(#3697): rule-scope the warning-channel discriminator

Self-found at the round's pre-push review, against the Major 3 fix two
commits back. That fix chose the channel from a LINE-GLOBAL question — "was
any ID-shaped token left unselected?" — while the rules that produce the
warning are not line-global. The two disagree as soon as the line carries an
ID-shaped token no rule fired on:

  `RANGE-01, RANGE-02 — RANGE-05 deferred per (ADR-7)`

`(ADR-7)` survives the selector's bracket strip, so the global test called it
a drop and sent the line to the assertive channel — putting the false "could
not be parsed ... rewrite the line" claim back on a correct line. That is
review finding Major 3 returning through a side door, and it directly
contradicts #3697-4, which pins a parenthetical citation as NOT unparsed
residue.

The discriminator is now rule-scoped: R2 is the only ambiguous rule, so the
ambiguous channel requires that R2 fired, that no other rule did, and that
every endpoint R2 fired on was actually selected. The last conjunct is not
redundant — the detector shaves brackets and the selector does not, so R2 can
fire on a `(RANGE-02)` that was never selected, and that IS a drop:

  `RANGE-01 (RANGE-02) — RANGE-05`   -> assertive, correctly

`droppedIdShaped` is replaced by `spacedRangePairs` (R2's hits, so the
channel can ask about the endpoints the rule fired on) and the
`rangeReadingOnly` verdict.

Reversion control: against the line-global rule, #3697-9b fails. #3697-9c
passes under both rules — there the dropped token IS the R2 endpoint, so the
two agree; it is a regression guard, not a bug-finder, and is recorded as
such rather than counted as a second control.

* fix(#3697): hold every dash to the strict range shape, not just ASCII

Self-found at the round's pre-push review, and it CORRECTS a claim made two
commits back. That commit widened the range-operator set by five Unicode
dashes and asserted they "carry none of the ASCII hyphen's collision risk,
because they are not the REQ-ID separator". That reasoning was wrong. The
collision is a property of the SHAPE — `PREFIX-\d+ <dash> \d+` is also a date
(`FY-2026-08`) and a sub-numbered ID (`API-2-01`) — and the shape does not
care which dash sits in the operator slot, because the ID's own separator is
still ASCII either side of it. Measured:

  RANGE-01 (target FY-2026-08)   silent   <- pinned by #3697-4
  RANGE-01 (target FY-2026‐08)   WARNED   <- same line, U+2010

So the widening reintroduced the #2334 over-warning class on a date
annotation. It also exposed that the inconsistency PREDATES this PR: U+2013
and U+2014 were already in the loose arm at ce71dd399, so the en- and em-dash
forms of that same date annotation warned before round 3 ever ran.

One rule for every dash: a tight range spelled with any of the eight must
carry a FULL ID on both sides, exactly as the bare hyphen already had to.
`..`, `…` and the word operators stay loose — no date or sub-number reading
exists between two numbers, so the strict shape would cost them coverage for
nothing.

The cost is a false negative, and it is one the design already accepts:
`RANGE-01, RANGE-02-05` is silent today, deliberately, and now
`RANGE-01, RANGE-02–05` is too. That removes an inconsistency rather than
opening a gap, and a bare `RANGE-02–05` still warns — it selects nothing, so
R3 catches it.

Tests: #3697-13 (date annotation AND sub-numbered ID silent for all eight
dashes), #3697-13b (full-ID tight range still warns for all eight),
#3697-13c (loose operators keep their numeric endpoint), #3697-13d (the
accepted false negative is symmetric, and the bare zero-selection line still
warns).

* fix(#3697): close the round's own pre-push review findings

An adversarial cross-AI review of this round refuted 4 of its 10 claims. All
four were real. Every fix below is to code THIS round introduced.

1. THE SOFT VOICE CLAIMED TOO MUCH (refuted CLAIM 1).
   `REQ-01, (REQ-02), REQ-03 — REQ-05` took the range-reading voice and told
   the author "the line is already correct and nothing needs to change" — while
   `(REQ-02)` had been dropped by the selector, which does not strip
   parentheses.

   The channel choice is still right, and deliberately so: `(ADR-7)` and
   `(REQ-02)` are the SAME shape, so routing on "was anything unselected?" puts
   the false "could not be parsed" claim back on a line carrying a citation —
   the misroute fixed two commits ago. No rule can adjudicate this; the author
   can. So the voice stops asserting the line is correct (it now speaks about
   the SEPARATOR, which is all it has evidence about), and BOTH voices gained a
   factual clause naming ID-shaped text the selector skipped, with the reason
   (brackets are not stripped) and no verdict attached.

2. THE CAP SILENCED A LINE THAT USED TO WARN (refuted CLAIM 2).
   A 2049-char range token warned before this round and went silent after it:
   the "uniform cap" commit bounded the predicate and, with it, the warning.
   That is #3697's own defect, introduced by the fix for a nit.

   The cap bounds the WORK, not the warning. An over-cap token carrying `-` is
   now recorded as unclassified (a linear `includes`, never the unanchored
   regex the cap exists to keep off it) and gets its own voice: "could not be
   checked ... the REQ-ID selection on this line is unverified". Unclassified
   is reported, never treated as clean.

3. THE CAP WAS NOT UNIFORM (review MISSED finding).
   R2 capped the operator token but not its neighbours, so
   `<2049-char ID> .. <2049-char ID>` still ran REQ_ID_SHAPE_RE and BigInt over
   both endpoints unbounded. The glued rule had the same hole. Every
   participant is capped now.

4. PROPERTY P5 WAS VACUOUS (refuted CLAIM 5).
   It drew from a bare `fc.string()`, which over 500 samples produced max
   length 10 and ZERO inputs containing a REQ-ID — the loop body never executed
   an assertion. A containment property that never contains anything is a green
   test measuring nothing. The generator now interleaves real IDs with noise
   and the property ASSERTS it saw them (>50/500), so it can never silently go
   vacuous again. The free-form coverage it was actually providing survives,
   honestly labelled, as #3697-P6.

   The same finding refuted this round's claim that P2 distinguishes pre-round
   behaviour: every operator P2 uses was already in the pre-round operator set.
   P2 is a regression guard, and its comment now says so.

Also: docs/CLI-TOOLS.md repeated the broken channel claim verbatim (review
MISSED finding) and is corrected with the code.

Tests: #3697-9d (soft voice names the skipped ID, never claims the line is
correct), #3697-9e (over-cap token reported as unclassified, still warns),
#3697-9f (R2 and the glued rule cap their neighbours). #3697-B1/B2 now key the
boundary on the PREDICATE's verdict with `warn` asserted true at every length —
asserting `warn === false` at limit+1 was itself finding 2.

* docs(#3697): describe the third voice and the dash rule

Follow-on to the review-findings commit: that commit corrected the docs' claim
about the soft voice but left two things the code now does undescribed.

- There are THREE voices, not two. The over-cap voice ("could not be checked
  ... unverified") arrived with the fix for the review's CLAIM 2 and had no
  entry.
- Dash spellings require a full ID on both sides, and `..` / `…` / the word
  operators do not. That asymmetry is deliberate and load-bearing —
  `PREFIX-<digits><dash><digits>` is date- and sub-number-shaped — so a reader
  hitting `REQ-01-05` and getting silence has no way to find out why. The
  accepted cost (`REQ-01, REQ-02-05` unreported, bare `REQ-02-05` still
  reported) is stated rather than left to be discovered.

Documentation only; no behaviour change.

* fix(#3697): close the continuation review's findings

A continuation of the same adversarial reviewer, run against the reworked
round, refuted 6 of 7 claims. Four were real defects in this round's own work
and are fixed here; the other two are answered rather than changed, below.

1. THE SKIPPED-TEXT CLAUSE WAS ON ONE VOICE, NOT BOTH (refuted CLAIM A).
   The previous commit's message said both voices gained it. Only the soft
   return appended it. The assertive voice now carries it too — and, because
   that voice already names range tokens and inert residue under its own
   clauses, the note is filtered to what those did not already name. A warning
   that says the same token twice is one readers learn to skim.

2. THE CLAUSE'S WORDING WAS FALSE (also CLAIM A).
   It read "brackets and parentheses are not stripped". Square brackets ARE
   stripped by the selector — `[REQ-01, REQ-02]` is the documented form — so
   only parentheses qualify. Corrected in the message and in docs/CLI-TOOLS.md,
   which had inherited the same error.

3. THE OVER-CAP RULE STILL SILENCED A LINE (refuted CLAIM B).
   `oversizedTokens` filtered on `includes('-')`, which misses an over-cap
   OPERATOR: `REQ-01 <2049 dots> REQ-05` warned before this round, R2 declined
   to classify it once capped, and nothing reported it. That is the exact
   regression the field was added to close, one input over. Any token past the
   cap now counts — what it contains is irrelevant when we could not read it.

4. AND THEN OVER-REPORTED ONE (review MISSED finding).
   With (3) in place, a 2049-character CANONICAL REQ-ID was selected by the
   uncapped, fully-anchored selector AND flagged "REQ-ID selection on this line
   is unverified" — a contradiction inside one warning. A token the selector
   took was examined end to end, so it is excluded.

Two findings are answered, not changed:

  CLAIM C — the selector's own `REQ_ID_SHAPE_RE.test` is uncapped. True, and
  deliberate: this round does not touch what gets MARKED, and the pattern is
  anchored at both ends with no nested quantifier, so it is linear. The claim
  that "all predicate paths are capped" was too broad; the DETECTOR's are.

  CLAIM E — `REQ-01, REQ-02<dash>05` is silent for every dash. That is the
  documented, deliberate cost of holding dashes to the strict shape, and it is
  symmetric with ASCII, which behaved that way before this PR. The reviewer is
  right that "without losing a range spelling that should be detected" was too
  strong; a bare `REQ-02<dash>05` still warns.

Tests: #3697-9g (clause on the assertive voice, no repetition, bracket claim
true), #3697-9h (over-cap operator does not silence the line), #3697-9i (a
selected over-cap ID is never called unverified). #3697-9f is rebuilt — its
first version used the SAME id twice, so R2 could not have fired even uncapped
and it proved nothing; it now uses endpoints with a gap and fails when the
neighbour cap is removed.

Reversion control: all four fixes fail a named test when reverted in isolation
(#3697-9h, #3697-9i, #3697-9g, #3697-9f).

* fix(#3697): scope the over-cap exemption to what could actually pair

A second continuation of the same reviewer, against the reworked round,
confirmed the two claims that matter most and refuted three. This closes the
one real defect; the other two are answered below.

CLAIM J / CLAIM K (one defect, found from both directions). The previous
commit exempted EVERY selector-accepted token from `oversizedTokens`, on the
reasoning that the selector is uncapped and anchored so it examined the whole
token. True of that token's SELECTION — and not the same as "no rule was
suppressed by it". Two over-cap valid IDs either side of `..` are both
selected, so both were exempted, and R2 is capped: a line that warned before
this round went silent.

That is the third appearance of one class in this round — the cap suppresses a
check, and the suppression is not reported. Each fix for it over-corrected in
the opposite direction, which is why the rule is now stated in terms of what
was actually suppressed rather than in terms of the token: an over-cap token is
exempt only when it was selected AND nothing beside it could have paired with
it into a range (no range operator, no glued fragment, no second over-cap
token). Everything else is unexaminable and says so.

Two findings are answered, not changed:

  CLAIM M — the reviewer demonstrated, with driven evidence, a contextual rule
  that catches `REQ-01, REQ-02-05` while leaving `FY-2026-08` and `API-2-01`
  silent: recognise `PREFIX-a<dash>b` only when another SELECTED id on the line
  shares that prefix. That refutes this round's claim that the strict-dash
  trade was FORCED, and the claim is withdrawn — it is a design choice. The
  choice stands for this PR: the conservative rule is what ASCII already did
  before #3697, adopting a new contextual heuristic unreviewed at the end of a
  round is how the last three defects in this round were made, and #3697 asks
  for a warning rather than better range inference. Named here so the
  alternative is on the record rather than lost.

  Docs MISSED — CLI-TOOLS said every token over 2,048 characters "is not
  classified at all" and warns. Selection is not bounded; only range detection
  is. Corrected.

Confirmed by the same pass, and worth recording because they are the PR's
load-bearing promises: a 20,000-input comparison of the pre-extraction selector
against HEAD found `mismatches=0` (nothing about which REQ-IDs are MARKED has
changed), and the uncapped selector regex was measured linear from 100k to 800k
characters.

Tests: #3697-9f now asserts the range case is reported rather than silent, and
#3697-9j pins the exemption's scope in both directions. Reversion control:
restoring the blanket exemption fails both.

* fix(#3697): warn on zero selection, as the acceptance criterion asks

`Deferred`, `N/A`, `Pending`, `TBA` and `-` selected no REQ-IDs and stayed
SILENT, while three shipped artifacts said they warned: `docs/CLI-TOOLS.md`,
the `placeholderLed` census comment, and the advice string the command emits
to the user. The asymmetry was the tell — `Deferred (see ADR-7)` warned,
because the citation supplied the ID-shaped residue R3 required, while bare
`Deferred` did not. The claim was written into three places and never
executed once.

This is also #3697's AC-1b/AC-4 verbatim: "warn when `citedReqIds.length ===
0` while the raw capture is non-empty and not `TBD`".

R3b keys on the SELECTION being empty, never on what the prose means, so it
adds no free-text heuristic. It is deliberately not gated on ID-shaped
residue the way R3 is, and the negative space is what settles that: all
fifteen #2334/#2339 fixtures are held silent by non-zero selection or by
`placeholderLed`, and not one of them by the ID-shape gate — measured, not
argued. The gate was buying no negative space while costing the acceptance
criterion.

`tokens.length > 0` keeps an empty line and a comment-only line silent: the
tokenizer strips `<!-- ... -->` before splitting, so the shipped template's
own comment cannot reach the rule.

Selection behavior is unchanged. This warns; it never invents an ID.

Also extracts `warn` to a named const (round 3 review Minor 3) — this commit
adds a disjunct to exactly that predicate, and in the return literal a later
reordering would be a TDZ ReferenceError rather than a reader-visible error.

Tests: #3697-14 (six zero-selection lines warn and tick nothing, and the
warning names the TBD/None escape), #3697-14b (five placeholder spellings
stay whole-channel silent), #3697-14c (comment-only line stays silent).
Fail-first controls: all six #3697-14 cases fail against the pre-fix tree;
-14b and -14c pass at both ends, which is correct — they pin silence the
widening must preserve.

* fix(#3697): name the REQ-ID a glued delimiter dropped

`RANGE-01; RANGE-02` selects only RANGE-02 and marks only RANGE-02, with
`requirements_updated: true` — #3697's own half-success failure mode, reached
by one wrong delimiter, and silent before this rule. It is the issue's AC-1a
("a warning whenever the line contains ID-shaped content that the tokenizer
did NOT select") at the shape most likely to be typed by accident.

Round 4 review rated this Major rather than Blocker on the ground that the
case is indistinguishable from a parenthesised citation, since `(ADR-7)` also
shaves down to a bare ID. At the RAW token level it is distinguishable, and
that is what makes the rule shippable: `REQ-01;` is shaved of a trailing
DELIMITER, `ADR-7)` of a citation wrapper. R4 keys on that shave class and
requires the token to sit outside any parenthetical.

Measured before implementing: 0 false positives and 0 false negatives across
21 probes, including all fifteen #2334/#2339 negative-space fixtures. A first
cut without the parenthetical test scored 3 false positives — every one of
them a colon inside a citation (`(see ADR-7: section 3)`) — which is why that
test is the rule's boundary rather than an optimisation.

Adds the delimiter census the module did not have. The range-operator domain
was already censused; the comma-substitute domain was not. Swept 26
spellings: exactly two produce a silent under-selection, `; ` and `: `. Every
other spelling either selects both IDs or selects none and already warns. The
review hand-listed the semicolon; the colon is the sibling that sweep found,
and it fails identically.

`rangeReadingOnly` now excludes an R4 hit — the ambiguous voice claims nothing
was dropped, and must not speak for a line where something demonstrably was.

Tests: #3697-15 (four delimiter shapes warn, name EVERY dropped ID, and tick
exactly the unchanged selection), #3697-15b (three citation forms stay
whole-channel silent). Fail-first control: all four #3697-15 cases fail
against the previous commit's tree; -15b passes at both ends, pinning the
boundary the widening must not cross.

* fix(#3697): give the Requirements-line warning a stable machine kind

The warning's kind existed only in the prose of its message, so every consumer
and every test had to regex an English sentence — and rewording a message
silently un-asserted the tests that pinned it. Round 4 review Major 3.

The repo already had the settled seam for exactly these semantics.
`CONTEXT.md` records `diffLiveConfig` emitting `kind:'unverified'` for a
truncated scan, which is precisely this module's third voice; and
`WAVE_CLEANUP_WARNING` in `src/worktree-safety.cts` carries codes for the same
reason. ADR-3473 Decision 3 ("failure is a value") points the same way.

`formatRequirementsLineWarning` now returns `{ code, message }` instead of a
bare string, which also settles round 4 Nit 3 — `null` still means CLEAN, a
legitimate value, but the success arm is no longer a naked string one field
away from the shape the ADR standardises on.

The kind is carried ALONGSIDE the prose, never instead of it. `warnings[]` is
a documented `string[]` in `phase complete`'s JSON output, rendered by
execute-phase.md's "If has_warnings is true" step, so re-typing its elements
would be a breaking output-contract change for a shipped command. The code is
emitted as its own additive `requirements_line_warning` field, absent
entirely when the line is clean.

Vocabulary, exported so tests key on it rather than on string literals:
`req-line-misparse`, `req-line-range-reading`, `req-line-unverified`.

Tests: channel ROUTING in #3697-9/-9b/-9c/-9d/-9e/-9g/-10 now asserts the code;
message-content assertions stay where the user-visible wording is itself under
test. #3697-16 pins the code end-to-end through the CLI's JSON for four line
shapes and asserts warnings[] is still a string[]; #3697-16b pins that a clean
line emits no kind at all, because a field present on every run carries no
information. #3697-P4 holds kind-and-message-appear-together and
kind-is-in-the-declared-vocabulary over arbitrary input, so a channel added
later cannot ship without one.

* test(#3697): pin the divergence against the second parser of the same line

CLAUDE.md, KNOWN DEFECTS & ANTI-PATTERNS: "Generative Fix Divergence: when
sharing constants/arrays/parsers between parallel surfaces, add a parity
assertion test that fails if they diverge." Round 4 review Major 2.

`normalizePhaseReqIds` (src/gap-checker.cts) parses the SAME ROADMAP
`**Requirements:**` value — its own docblock says callers "may pass the
roadmap value through verbatim" — and diverges on four axes. Measured, not
inferred:

  line                                    phase complete      gap-checker
  RANGE-01..RANGE-05                      []                  5 IDs
  None (per ADR-7)                        []                  ["ADR-7"]
  (REQ-02)                                []                  ["REQ-02"]
  REQ-01a                                 []                  ["REQ-01a"]
  REQ-01, REQ-02                          both                both

This pins the divergence rather than removing it, which is the review's
second option and the correct one here: unifying the two would change what
`phase complete` MARKS, and "the ledger-writing set is byte-identical to base"
is the one invariant this PR holds fixed. Every axis is now asserted in BOTH
directions, so drift on either side fails here instead of widening silently.

The range axis is a DELIBERATE disagreement and is labelled as such — #3697
declines range expansion in terms ("I am not asking for range syntax to be
supported") while gap analysis adopted it under #1269.

The placeholder axis is the one worth reading twice: `None (per ADR-7)` is a
declared-empty line to `phase complete`, which reads the lead token, and a
one-requirement line to gap-checker, which strips parentheses first so the
citation survives its ID-shape filter. That is a citation being reported as a
requirement.

#3697-17b states the cost concretely: one line, five requirements in scope to
gap analysis and zero to phase complete. This PR is what makes that
contradiction visible, by finally giving the silent side a voice.

* fix(#3697): stop the skipped-text rider reporting a date, and close the 4b channel gap

Two round 4 review minors, both about a warning saying something it cannot
support.

MINOR 2 — false rider content. `REQ_ID_SUBSTRING_RE` is unanchored, so
`FY-2026-08` matches as `FY-2026` and lands in `unselectedIdShaped`.
`REQ_RANGE_TOKEN_RE`'s entire strict-dash arm exists to keep that shape
silent, and #3697-4 pins `RANGE-01 (target FY-2026-08)` as producing no
warning at all — but whenever some OTHER rule fired on a line that also
carried a date annotation, the rider told the author to "check whether any of
it is a requirement" about a date. Not a false warning, since the line was
warning anyway; false CONTENT, in the #2334 voice, through the side door.

Filtered at the MESSAGE rather than in the analysis: `unselectedIdShaped`
stays a faithful record of what the selector skipped — it is documented as a
fact that never routes — while the user-facing clause declines to assert
requirement-ness about a shape the design already ruled unadjudicable.
#3697-18b is the other half, so the filter cannot become a silencer: a
genuinely dropped REQ-ID is still named.

MINOR 1 — `#3697-4b` asserted only that the ASSERTIVE channel stayed silent,
so a regression routing `RANGE-01, TORANGE-05` into the AMBIGUOUS channel
would have passed. Whole-channel silence is not available on that fixture (the
pre-existing ghost-ID warning legitimately fires on the unregistered
`TORANGE-05`), so the precise assertion is that no Requirements-line warning
of ANY kind was emitted. The machine code added earlier in this round is what
makes that statable; before it, "both channels" could only have meant a second
prose regex.

* docs(#3697): record the Requirements-line seam in CONTEXT.md

CLAUDE.md names the CONTEXT.md glossary as a PR gate, and
`get_cochange_context(src/phase.cts, 45d)` ranks CONTEXT.md 4th at 25
co-changes — above src/init.cts and src/roadmap.cts. This PR introduced a
named seam, three warning kinds, a bound, a rule taxonomy and a deliberate
cross-parser divergence, and recorded none of it. Round 4 review Major 4.

The precedent is explicit rather than inferred: the directly analogous seam
is already there as `LIVE-CONFIG.GUARD.SEAM.truncation`, including its bound
and its boundary obligation — and that entry is the one this module's third
voice was modelled on.

Eight predicates, in the machine-oriented section beside it:

  .module                    the two exported functions and the code vocabulary
  .selector-identity         citedReqIds is byte-identical to base and is the
                             only thing reaching the ledger — a change to what
                             phase.complete MARKS is outside this contract
  .rules                     R1 / R2 / R2' / R3 / R3b / R4 / over-cap
  .kinds                     the three codes, and why they ride beside
                             warnings[] rather than inside it
  .cap                       2048, neighbours included, and the boundary rule
  .placeholder               the gate that actually holds the negative space
  .census-domains            both open domains with their NOT-reached members
  .gap-checker-divergence    the four axes, pinned not unified

The changeset type is `Fixed`, which exempts this PR from the docs/
co-change requirement — but the glossary gate is separate from that
exemption, and the 2048 cap in particular is a machine-canon-shaped fact
that until now existed only inside a source comment.

`docs/CONTEXT-INDEX.json` regenerated (269 predicates); lint:generated-sync
confirms all six targets in sync.

* docs(#3697): document what the command now does, in one changeset sentence

DOCS. The grammar section predated this round's two new rules, so it
under-described the behaviour it exists to make lookup-able:

- The placeholder paragraph enumerated three words; the rule is a DEFAULT.
  Any wording that selects no REQ-IDs warns, and the placeholders are matched
  as the LEAD token, so `None (per ADR-7)` and `**None**` are declared-empty
  too. The comment-only line is called out, because "any other wording" would
  otherwise read as covering the shipped template's own `<!-- ... -->`.
- The comma rule was implicit. `REQ-01; REQ-02` marks only REQ-02, and it is
  the quietest way to lose a requirement on this line — `requirements_updated`
  reads `true` either way — so it gets its own paragraph, with the
  parenthetical exemption stated beside it.
- The machine kind is documented where a consumer would look for it, with the
  instruction to key on the kind rather than the wording.
- The skipped-text note no longer implies it reports date shapes; it
  deliberately does not, and silently omitting that left the doc promising the
  behaviour this round removed.

CHANGESET (round 4 review Minor 4). CONTRIBUTING.md's format is
`**<Bold user-visible change>** — <symptom-led explanation>.` and both
canonical examples are one sentence; this fragment ran three. Now one, and
covering what the round actually delivers rather than only the range shape it
started from.

* test(#3697): keep phase.test.cjs off the docs-guard exemption fingerprint

A comment added earlier in this round named `docs/CLI-TOOLS.md` by path. The
docs-guard exemption ratchet (#3753 FIX 3) fingerprints literal `docs/`
references in exempt test files and fails when a new one appears, so that
comment turned four green gates red — `ci-docs-guard-registry` and the
registration lint — for a file that reads no documentation at all.

Caught by diffing the full suite's failing-name set against the same suite run
at `upstream/next` in a probe worktree: 33 of 37 failures reproduce at base
(install / config-home / shadowing tests under the sandbox HOME), and exactly
these 4 did not.

Rephrased rather than baselined. Adding the path to
DOCS_GUARD_EXEMPT_DOCS_PATHS is the sanctioned response when a test genuinely
starts READING a new docs path — the violation text asks the author to
re-confirm the exemption still holds. Nothing here reads documentation; the
guard matched prose. Baselining would have recorded a coupling that does not
exist and made the next reader wonder what phase.test.cjs does with
CLI-TOOLS.md. The comment still names where the contract is written, just
without planting a path string.

* fix(#3697): close four defects this round's own pre-push review drove

An adversarial cross-AI review of this round, run before the push, returned 6
CONFIRMED and 4 REFUTED. Every refutation was driven against the built tree,
and every one was a shape the author had not probed — the rules were correct
across the probe set and wrong just outside it.

(1) R4 FALSE POSITIVE, and it is the #2334 over-warning class arriving through
the rule added to close a different hole. `REQ-01, see ADR-7: section 3` fired:
`ADR-7:` is the same shave class as `REQ-01;`, and the parenthetical test does
not reach a BARE citation. The FP probe that scored this rule 0/0 only ever
tested the parenthesised form.

Fixed by requiring the dropped id's prefix to agree with a SELECTED id — the
module's own idiom, not a new heuristic: `reqEndpointsImplyInterior` already
demands an agreeing prefix for the same reason. Cost, stated in the census: a
dropped id whose prefix is on no selected id (`REQ-01, FOO-02: x`) stays
silent. Same trade the strict-dash rule takes — under-report a rare shape
rather than over-report a common one. Pinned as a declared blind spot by

(2) R4 FALSE NEGATIVE, on the DOCUMENTED form. `[REQ-01; REQ-02]` dropped
REQ-01 silently: the selector strips square brackets and R4's raw scanner did
not. The bracket spelling the shipped template recommends was the one shape the
rule could not see.

(3) The rider filter suppressed a REGISTERED requirement. `API-2-01` is a legal
requirement id — gap-checker's `parseRequirements` accepts it from
REQUIREMENTS.md — so a `\d+-\d+` filter hid a genuinely dropped requirement
behind a rule meant only to hide dates. Narrowed to a four-digit year segment.
The earlier #3697-18 case asserting `API-2-01` should be suppressed is REMOVED,
and the removal is recorded in place: its premise was refuted, it was not
inconvenient.

(4) An INVISIBLE line warned. A lone U+200B carried a token to the parser while
reading as empty to the author, so R3b fired with nothing on screen to explain
it. Zero-width and format characters are now stripped — stripped rather than
treated as delimiters, because splitting on one would fabricate two fragments
out of one ID.

Also corrects the documentation the same review found overstated: the line is
split on commas AND whitespace, and the ID shape is matched case-insensitively,
so `REQ-01 REQ-02` and `req-01, req-02` both select and neither warns. That was
pre-existing selector behaviour; this round is the one that asserted the docs
were true of it.

Tests: #3697-19 (four invisible-only shapes), -19b (embedded zero-width is
stripped, not split on), -19c (three citation forms), -19d (both bracket
spellings), -19e (both halves of the rider boundary), -19f (the declared blind
spot), -19g (the two documented tolerances). 500 tests in phase.test.cjs, 0
failures; lint:ci clean.

* fix(#3697): generalise the drop rule, and stop the invisible fix hiding a drop

The pre-push review's continuation refuted six of seven follow-up claims. The
first one is the one that mattered: the invisible-character fix committed in
c7dce173a INTRODUCED #3697's own defect. Stripping zero-width characters from
the detector wholesale made `REQ-01<ZWSP>, REQ-02` go SILENT — the selector
really does drop REQ-01, and the strip removed the only evidence of it. The
test written alongside asserted the tokens and the empty R4 result and never
asserted `warn`, so it DOCUMENTED the bug rather than catching it; that
omission was the reviewer's own MISSED finding.

An invisible is two different questions about one character, and the fix is to
stop conflating them: absence-of-content for the empty test, DECORATION on a
token for the drop rule. Neither is a reason to delete it from the line.

R4 is generalised accordingly, because the continuation drove four more shapes
a trailing-delimiter-only regex could not see — `REQ-01 ;REQ-02`,
`REQ-01 :REQ-02`, `**REQ-01;** REQ-02`, the backticked form — plus
`**REQ-01**, REQ-02`, where emphasis alone defeats the selector. These are one
class: decoration on a token the selector then cannot take. One rule, not four
patches; patching them individually is how a list stays short and wrong.

PARENTHESES ARE NOT DECORATION, and the suite caught me learning that: shaving
them made `REQ-01, (REQ-02), REQ-03 — REQ-05` report a glued delimiter that was
never there and broke #3697-9d's channel routing with it. A parenthesis is this
rule's citation marker.

The rider stops adjudicating an undecidable shape. `API-2-01` is a legal
requirement id and `API-2026-08` is too, while `FY-26-08` and `FY-2026-08-15`
are dates — no regex separates them, and both filters this round tried scored a
miss in each direction. It now NAMES the token and states the ambiguity, which
is the same thing the two warning voices already do about a range separator.
Filtering hides a real dropped requirement; reporting it bare asks the author
whether a date is a requirement; saying "this may equally be a date" does
neither.

The census and the docs are corrected to what the code does, including the part
that is NOT complete: the prefix gate does not stop a citation that SHARES a
selected prefix (`ADR-01, see ADR-7: sec 3` fires), and nothing at token level
separates that from a real drop. A prose heuristic on "see" is the free-text
detector this module exists to avoid, so the honest move is to say so.

CLAIM 17 — the invariant that actually matters — came back CONFIRMED on a
20,000-run fast-check property over arbitrary Unicode: `citedReqIds` is
identical to upstream/next's for every input, and marking is untouched.

513 tests in phase.test.cjs, 0 failures; lint:ci clean.

* fix(#3697): gate the drop rule on evidence, and stop an unmatched paren swallowing the line

Third pass of the round's own pre-push review, scoped to regression-hunting
rather than further polish. Three findings, all driven, all mine.

R4 OVER-WARNED on markdown styling. `REQ-01, see **REQ-7** for context` claimed
a dropped requirement: the previous cut treated any shaved decoration as
evidence, and emphasis is not evidence. Nothing separates that line from
`**REQ-01**, REQ-02` meaning to list one, so the rule now requires a positive
signal — a glued `;`/`:` (a list separator was INTENDED) or an invisible (the
token is CORRUPTED; nobody types one on purpose). Emphasis alone falls back to
the skipped-text rider, which names the id without asserting a drop, exactly as
`(REQ-02)` is handled. That is the #2334 class caught one cut before shipping.

R4 UNDER-WARNED on `**REQ-01**; REQ-02` — one shave pass cannot reach a wrapper
sitting behind a delimiter. Shaves to a stable point now.

The range OPERATOR lost its invisibles handling. `REQ-01 <ZWSP>..<ZWSP> REQ-05`
went silent, because the previous commit removed the invisible strip from BOTH
the tokenizer and R4 when only R4's was wrong. An invisible is two questions
about one character: for the classification rules it is noise and is stripped
from the token; for the drop rule it is the evidence and must survive on the
raw line. Stripping in both places hid a dropped id; stripping in neither hid a
range. The reviewer's MISSED finding named the missing control — regression
tests covered invisibles inside ids and not beside operators — and #3697-19i is
that control.

UNBALANCED PARENTHESES swallowed the line. `REQ-01, (note REQ-02; REQ-03`
reported nothing: a running-depth counter left the unclosed `(` open through
end-of-line, so every genuine drop after it inherited citation immunity. A
parenthesis confers that immunity only as part of a MATCHED span now — an
unmatched one is a typo, not a citation.

CLAIM 22 re-confirmed on a fresh 20,000-run property over arbitrary Unicode:
`citedReqIds` identical to upstream/next, marking untouched, warnings appended.

522 tests in phase.test.cjs, 0 failures; lint:ci rc=0; full suite carries zero
head-only failures against a probe worktree at upstream/next.

* fix(#3697): make delimiter ADJACENCY the rule, and delete matched citations outright

Fourth and final pass of the round's own pre-push review. Three findings, and
they shared one root cause, so this is a narrower rule rather than a longer list
of shapes.

TOKEN-WIDE PAREN IMMUNITY LEAKED. `REQ-01, REQ-02;(note) REQ-03` is a single
whitespace token, so a matched parenthetical inside it conferred immunity on the
`REQ-02;` sitting OUTSIDE the parens, and the drop went silent. Matched spans
are now deleted from the line outright — which states what is actually meant,
that for this rule a citation is not on the line — and an UNMATCHED paren is a
typo that confers nothing. That also retires the running-depth counter whose
previous bug was the mirror image: an unclosed `(` swallowing the rest of the
line.

DECORATION WAS TESTED TOKEN-WIDE, so `REQ-01, see **REQ-7**; next topic` was
reported as a dropped requirement. It is a citation with sentence punctuation.
The rule is now ADJACENCY: styling is stripped, then the `;`/`:` must be
touching the id. `REQ-01;`, `;REQ-02` and `**REQ-01;**` qualify;
`**REQ-01**;` does not, because outside the styling that character is
punctuation. An invisible needs no adjacency test — nobody types one on
purpose, so anywhere in the token it is corruption rather than intent.

`**REQ-01**; REQ-02` therefore goes silent, and the test row asserting
otherwise is inverted rather than deleted quietly: it was added one commit ago
on the reasoning this pass refuted, and nothing distinguishes it from
`see **REQ-7**; next topic`.

Worth recording plainly: three successive cuts of this rule fired on a
citation, and each fix was a narrower definition of EVIDENCE, never a longer
list of shapes. The list-lengthening instinct is what produced the bug each
time.

The review's last MISSED finding named the missing control — the paren tests
all surrounded matched spans with whitespace, so none covered a span sharing a
token with an id outside it. #3697-19j carries both directions now.

526 tests in phase.test.cjs, 0 failures; lint:ci rc=0; full suite zero
head-only failures against a probe at upstream/next; the invariant that
`citedReqIds` is identical to upstream re-confirmed on 20,000 arbitrary
Unicode inputs.

* fix(#3697): state R4's real boundary, and stop the over-cap voice masking a drop

Two defects, both found by this round's own pre-publication body claim-audit.

1. A DEMONSTRATED drop was discarded by the unverified voice. On
   `REQ-01, REQ-02: <2049 chars>` the analyzer names REQ-02 in
   delimiterDroppedIds and the formatter then reported `req-line-unverified`,
   whose message never mentions it — the one actionable finding masked by the
   token beside it. The over-cap channel now excludes a line carrying an R4
   hit, exactly as rangeReadingOnly already did and for the same reason: that
   voice's whole claim is that nothing could be checked, and R4 has already
   checked something. The assertive channel still carries the over-cap rider,
   so nothing about the cap is traded away. Pinned by #3697-19l, which fails
   against the pre-fix build and nothing else does.

2. Three shipped artifacts asserted behaviour the code does not have — the
   same class as this PR's round-4 blocker, re-committed. CONTEXT.md's rules
   predicate, the CLI tools reference, and the warning's own advice string all
   listed markdown emphasis as an R4 trigger. It is not: styling is shaved
   BEFORE the test and tolerated around an id, never a trigger on its own, so
   `**REQ-01**, REQ-02` and `**REQ-01**; REQ-02` are both silent. The trigger
   is exactly a glued `;`/`:` or an embedded invisible.

   The census predicate was wrong in a second way. Its 26-spelling separator
   sweep found only `;` and `:` because the sweep was SYMMETRIC-ONLY and
   therefore biased: one-sided attachment drops silently for every punctuation
   outside the set — `/ | & + . > \` and the full-width and non-ASCII forms
   `; , ؛` all measured silent. The domain is wide open and R4 covers two
   characters of it. Said plainly in all three places rather than widened
   here: every previous widening of this rule first fired on a citation, so it
   is not done blind at the end of a round.

Both blind spots are now PINNED as tests (#3697-19m styling-only, #3697-19n
one-sided separators) so the documents and the code cannot drift apart again —
which is what the round-4 blocker asked for.

tests/phase.test.cjs: 542 tests, 542 pass, 0 fail, 0 skip. lint:ci rc=0.
Both CONTEXT-INDEX consumers regenerated.

* fix(#3697): re-sweep the separator census properly, and say what it really found

The round-4 census in src/phase.cts concluded "exactly two — `; ` and `: `"
from a 26-spelling sweep. That conclusion was forced by how the sweep was
built, not by the code: it swept the ONE-SIDED form (`REQ-01; REQ-02`) for the
semicolon and colon, and only the BARE and SYMMETRIC forms (`|`, ` | `) for
every other separator. Different members of the domain were tested in
different shapes, so no other answer was reachable. Caught by this round's
pre-publication claim-audit of the response comment, reading the census
comment against its own swept list.

Re-swept fully crossed and driven through the built artifact: 21 separators x
{bare, trailing-space, leading-space, both-spaces} = 84 combinations. 26 select
both ids, 24 under-select and already warn, and 34 UNDER-SELECT SILENTLY. All
34 are one shape — a separator glued to exactly one of the two ids, e.g.
`REQ-01/ REQ-02` or `REQ-01 /REQ-02` — for every punctuation except `,` and
the `;`/`:` that R4 covers.

So R4 covers TWO CHARACTERS of a wide-open domain. That is now what the census
comment, the CONTEXT.md census-domains predicate and the CLI tools reference
all say. The set is deliberately not widened here: three successive cuts of
this rule fired on a citation, and a fourth at the end of a round with no
adversarial pass is how each of those got in.

Second false passage in the same block: styling-only decoration was described
as "left to the skipped-text rider, which names the id". A rider only exists
inside a message, and a message only exists once some rule sets `warn` — so on
a line where nothing else fires, `REQ-01, **REQ-02**` is wholly silent.
Describing it as handled reads as coverage. #3697-19m already pins the silence.

so the test matches the documented claim.

tests/phase.test.cjs: 552 tests, 552 pass, 0 fail, 0 skip. lint:ci rc=0.
Both CONTEXT-INDEX consumers regenerated.

* chore(#3697): regenerate both CONTEXT-INDEX.json after rebasing onto next

Rebased onto next @ f4fefb0be. The two generated indexes conflicted on the
replay and were resolved by regenerating, not by hand-merging:
`npm run gen:context-index` for docs/CONTEXT-INDEX.json and
`node examples/dynamic-context-management/gen-context-index.cjs --write` for
the example's copy. Against next, each now differs only in the eight
PHASE.REQ-LINE.SEAM.* predicates this PR adds (plus the PHASE class and the
count); every base-side change (the SEAM.* predicates, the ADR-3942 value
rewrites) is carried. `lint-example-parser-parity` and
`gen-context-index --check` both pass.

* fix(#3697): an over-cap token outranks the ambiguous range voice

Round 7 review, Minor 1. `rangeReadingOnly`'s guard conjunction checked
`hasGluedRangeFragment`, `inertIdShaped` and `delimiterDroppedIds` but not
`oversizedTokens`, so a line carrying a clean, fully-selected spaced range
*and* an unrelated token past the 2048-char scan cap was coded
`req-line-range-reading` — a code CONTEXT.md's PHASE.REQ-LINE.SEAM.kinds
predicate documents as "nothing was dropped" — over a token no rule (R1-R4
all skip over-cap tokens) had ever examined. Since the PR tells machine
consumers to branch on `.code` rather than parse prose, that is a false
"nothing to verify further" signal.

The review's suggested fix was to add `oversizedTokens.length === 0` to the
conjunction. That clause is right and is here, but on its own it routes the
line to the ASSERTIVE channel: `req-line-misparse`, whose message says the
line "could not be parsed as a comma-separated REQ-ID list" on a line where
every ID present was in fact selected. That is the #2334 over-warning class
this module's own channel-selection docblock exists to prevent — a false-clean
code traded for a false-assertion one. So the correct destination is
`req-line-unverified`: the line was not CHECKED, which is not the same as
clean, and nothing on it demonstrably failed to parse either.

Both non-assertive voices were carrying their own inline copy of the same
"nothing was demonstrably dropped" conjunction, and that duplication is what
let them drift: `rangeReadingOnly` omitted the cap, while the over-cap channel
excluded a spaced range wholesale via `!hasSpacedRange`. Extract it once as
`nothingDemonstrablyDropped` and have both read it. The new predicate is a
strict superset of the old `!hasSpacedRange` guard — `spacedRangePairs.every()`
is vacuously true when no spaced range fired — so the over-cap channel's
behaviour on every line without a spaced range is unchanged, and R2 firing on
an endpoint the selector did not take still routes to the assertive channel.

Exactly one input class changes routing: a clean fully-selected spaced range
beside an unexamined over-cap token, which moves from `req-line-range-reading`
to `req-line-unverified`. Pinned by `#3697-19n` (the twin of `#3697-19l` on
the other side of the boundary — there a demonstrated drop outranks the
unverified voice, here the cap outranks the ambiguous one), with `#3697-19o`
as the negative control asserting a clean range with nothing over the cap is
still a range reading.

* docs(#3697): state the warning-code precedence, and what the cap condition actually is

Two surfaces, one point. The round 7 finding cited CONTEXT.md's
PHASE.REQ-LINE.SEAM.kinds predicate as the documentation of what
`req-line-range-reading` claims, and it was right to: that predicate said "R2
alone fired on selected endpoints; nothing was dropped" with no mention of the
scan cap, describing a line the code could not distinguish from one carrying a
token it never examined.

The range reading is the weakest of the three claims and yields to the other
two: a demonstrated drop makes the line a misparse, and a token the cap left
unclassified makes it unverified. `docs/CLI-TOOLS.md` gains that sentence; the
CONTEXT.md predicate gains it plus two precision points that this round's own
pre-push adversarial review extracted over three passes, each with a driven
counterexample I reproduced before acting on it:

  * "nothing was dropped" overstates the rule. The discriminator is RULE-scoped
    by design (round 3, Major 3), so that a parenthesised ID-shaped token does
    not re-open the #2334 over-warning class — `(REQ-02)` is indistinguishable
    from `(ADR-7)` at token level and is carried by the skipped-text rider, never
    by this code. `REQ-01, (REQ-02), REQ-03 - REQ-05` selects three, names REQ-02
    as skipped, and is still a range reading. The predicate now says "no rule
    named a dropped ID", which is what the code tests.

  * The deferral condition is `oversizedTokens` being non-empty, NOT the presence
    of a token past the cap. Those differ: a long token the selector itself took
    can be exempt, because selection is uncapped and anchored and such a token
    was therefore examined. `RANGE-01 - RANGE-05, R-<2047 sevens>` yields
    `oversizedTokens=[]` and stays a range reading. Two earlier attempts to
    characterise WHEN the exemption applies were both refuted — the neighbour
    test admits any non-short neighbour, not just a range operator — so the
    predicate now states the condition and defers the exemption's own rule to
    SEAM.cap rather than paraphrasing it a third time.

Verified after the edit: deferral holds if and only if the cap left a token
unclassified, across all three counterexamples plus controls, and an exempt
selector-taken long token is exhibited. No behaviour change — predicate text,
one CLI-reference paragraph, and the two regenerated indexes. Predicate count
unchanged at 285 across 22 classes, 0 duplicate ids; lint-example-parser-parity
and both `--check` generators pass.

* test(#3697): rename the round 7 regression pair — 19n was already taken

Self-found immediately after the push, before anything was published to the
review thread. The two tests added this round were named `#3697-19n` and
`#3697-19o`, and `#3697-19n` was already in use: it is the declared-blind-spot
case for one-sided separators in both attachment directions, generated inside a
loop with a computed label, which is why a grep for a literal `test('#3697-19n'`
did not find it. The PR body's own *Declared blind spots* list already refers to
`#3697-19n` with that meaning.

Nothing failed. Duplicate test names do not error, and the suite stayed green at
567/567 — which is the argument for fixing it rather than against. Two concrete
costs: any TAP name-set differential collapses same-named tests under `sort -u`,
so one of the two becomes invisible to exactly the did-not-run and pass->fail
checks that name-set comparison exists to perform; and a reviewer reading
"#3697-19n" in the body now gets a different test than the one the body means.

Renamed to `#3697-19p` (over-cap beside a clean range) and `#3697-19q` (its
negative control), the next free ids in the series; the pre-existing `#3697-19n`
is untouched at its original 4 occurrences. Cross-references inside the renamed
block were updated with them. Negative control re-run under the new ids: 19p
still fails against pre-fix source and passes after, 19q passes at both ends.

472f585f7c fix(#3726)!: require --confirm before milestone complete mutates (#3774)
* fix(#3726): require --confirm before milestone complete mutates

`milestone complete <version>` is a one-way door — ROADMAP.md and
REQUIREMENTS.md archived, every phase directory in the milestone MOVED,
STATE.md rewritten — and ran unconditionally on first invocation through
every invocation path, including `query milestone.complete <version>`,
whose `query` meta-prefix reads as a read-only namespace but performs no
filtering (#167's invocation-compatibility shim + #3243's dotted-form
normalization).

The gate lives on the destructive command itself, not on the `query`
prefix (the prefix is an intentional invocation mechanism, not a
permission boundary — restricting it would break dozens of shipped
workflow callers). Without --confirm and without --dry-run the command
now refuses via error() before reading anything beyond its arg checks,
so an unconfirmed invocation is a guaranteed no-op on disk. --dry-run
still previews with no confirmation needed and is now documented in the
usage block (it was only documented for the sibling archive-quick).
--force keeps its narrow meaning — bypassing the TRUNCATED-scope and
unstarted-phase guards — and does not double as the mutation opt-in.
--confirm follows the existing `phases clear --confirm` idiom in the
same module.

complete-milestone.md's two invocations pass --confirm (the workflow has
gathered explicit user intent by that step). Existing tests get
--confirm appended — pre-change behavior is exactly confirmed behavior —
and a #3726 regression block covers: refusal + full-tree byte-identity
on both invocation forms, --force not satisfying the gate, --dry-run
still passing without confirmation, and --confirm proceeding. The
refusal tests fail against pre-fix code (negative control run).

Fixes #3726

* docs(#3726): document the --confirm requirement in CLI-TOOLS and COMMANDS

Cross-AI review of the fix diff (codex, pre-create) caught three shipped
doc sites still instructing the now-refused bare invocation: the
CLI-TOOLS.md milestone-complete synopsis + flag table, and COMMANDS.md's
two guard-override instructions (`--force` alone now refuses without
--confirm). Localized CLI-TOOLS copies already lag the English synopsis
(no --force/--dry-run either) and follow the translation pipeline, not
this fix.

* chore(#3726): set changeset fragment pr to 3774

* test(#3726): confirm-gate CI repairs — QA scenario caller + growth ack

Two CI reds from the --confirm gate, both this branch's own misses:

- tests/qa/scenarios/milestone-rollover.json invoked `milestone complete
  1.0 --force` as a JSON arg-array fixture — a caller shape the test
  sweep (which grepped runGsdTools/runSdkQuery in tests/*.cjs) never
  enumerated. Adds --confirm; the scenario's boundary-crossing contract
  is otherwise untouched.
- complete-milestone.md's +420-byte --confirm note trips the
  emitted-attribution growth ratchet. Acknowledged as a #3726 append to
  the existing complete-milestone.md entry in
  3409-unreachable-guard-arms.json (two ack sources may never name the
  same path, per that fragment's own precedent).

Local: lint-emitted-drift-ack ok; loop-walk.qa 115/115 green sandboxed.

* docs(#3726): CLI-TOOLS.md guard-override sentences say --force --confirm

Review Major 1: the truncated-window and unstarted-phase guard paragraphs
still told the reader to "Pass `--force` to override", which now refuses
(--force alone does not satisfy the confirmation gate), while the flag
table 470 lines later said the opposite. Mirror the docs/COMMANDS.md pair
so the file no longer contradicts itself.

* docs(#3726): synopsis renders --confirm and --dry-run as alternatives

Review Nit 1: `milestone complete <version> --confirm [--dry-run]` read as
"a dry run still needs --confirm", the opposite of AC 3. Render the pair
as `(--confirm | --dry-run)` in the CLI-TOOLS.md synopsis and the usage
docblock, and let the flag rows carry the rule.

* test(#3726): pass --confirm in base-added milestone fixtures; re-file the growth ack

Rebase onto next (26 commits) surfaced three tests the gate now refuses:
the #3685 write-flag contract pair in tests/milestone.test.cjs and the
`milestone complete` boundary fixture in tests/state-contract.test.cjs
all invoke the command bare. Each now passes --confirm (a mutating run is
exactly what they assert on).

The +420 byte complete-milestone.md growth ack rode on
3409-unreachable-guard-arms.json, which #3078 swept from next as fully
spent — hence the modify/delete conflict. Re-filed under a fresh fragment
named for this issue, never resurrecting the swept one.

* test(#3726): pin the present-but-falsy arm of the confirmation gate

Review Minor 1: the boundary triple covered absent and present but not
present-but-falsy. The gate is an exact-token match, so --confirm=false
and --confirm=0 refuse today — pinned (canonical + query forms, whole
.planning/ tree byte-identical) so a future `=`-aware or prefix-matching
parser cannot silently turn --confirm=false into a confirmed run of an
irreversible command.

* test(#3726): drop --confirm from dry-run-only invocations

Review Nit 2: --confirm was mass-appended to 14 pre-existing --dry-run
invocations that never needed it, so each stopped standing as incidental
proof that a preview needs no confirmation. Reverted to the pre-PR form;
the dedicated AC-3 test carries the explicit assertion.

* docs(#3726): sync the localized CLI-TOOLS synopsis with the confirm gate

REQ-I18N-02 (docs/features/internationalized-documentation.md) requires
translations to stay synchronized with the English source. The four
localized CLI-TOOLS.md guides still advertised a bare
`milestone complete <version>`, which now exits 1. Render the English
synopsis verbatim — `(--confirm | --dry-run)` plus the `[--force]` and
`[--archive-quick]` flags the translations had also fallen behind on.

* test(#3726): drop --confirm from the remaining preview-only invocations

Round 2 reverted the --confirm appends on --dry-run-only invocations in
tests/milestone.test.cjs, but four more sat in two files the sweep missed:
tests/milestone-archive.test.cjs (three) and
tests/milestone-window-single-owner.test.cjs (one).

Each is a preview run whose whole purpose is to document that a preview
mutates nothing, so `--dry-run ... --confirm` contradicted the semantics
the test exists to pin. Dropping the token restores each as incidental
proof that a preview needs no confirmation; the dedicated AC-3 test keeps
the explicit assertion.

No assertion added, relaxed, or removed — the change is four tokens.

* chore(#3726): migrate the emitted-drift ack from a fragment to a commit trailer

#3954 (ADR-3942) moved emitted-drift acknowledgments out of
tests/emitted-drift-acks/ and into git commit trailers, and the fragment
directory no longer exists on next. The reason this PR's fragment carried
moves verbatim into the Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth trailer on this commit;
the fragment file is removed rather than resurrected.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: complete-milestone.md — #3726: +420 bytes (40186 -> 40606). The archive_milestone step's two `milestone complete` invocations now pass the required --confirm flag (the command refuses to mutate without it — the archive is irreversible), with a note explaining the flag and pointing at --dry-run for previews. Deliberate runtime-loaded workflow text for the new gate, not converter drift.

* fix(#3726): name --confirm in the version-required refusal

The documented arg-discovery path (gsd-tools.cjs top-level usage: invoke
the command without args and the error lists what is required) stopped at
`version required for milestone complete (e.g., v1.0)` — one required
argument short. Discovering --confirm took a second round trip through the
gate. The refusal now reads `… — and --confirm to mutate`, pinned by a test
that also asserts the version-less invocation leaves .planning/ untouched.

* test(#3726): pin the milestone complete docs against a silent regression

The changeset is `type: Fixed`, which the docs-required lint exempts, so
nothing in CI would notice a later edit that reinstated the bare-`--force`
override prose or dropped `--confirm` from the synopsis. Four tests in
tests/milestone.test.cjs now pin: the synopsis line in docs/CLI-TOOLS.md
and its four localized mirrors; the `--confirm` flag row; both
guard-override instructions in docs/CLI-TOOLS.md and docs/COMMANDS.md,
by guard name (a substring match on each instruction's `--force
--confirm` text); and — as an identity ratchet over the
milestone-complete sections — every `--force` sentence or clause that
lacks `--confirm`, so a new bare instruction in its own sentence or
clause fails whatever its wording. Named residual: a bare instruction
spliced into the same clause as a compliant one coalesces with it and
passes the ratchet; the by-name pins are what keep the four known
instructions from losing the pairing that way. The file is registered
in scripts/docs-guard-registry.cjs so the pin runs on the PR that
changes those docs, not only after merge.

15af0f5536 enhance(#3951): B6+B7 — widen two unreachable lint rules and make the guard ledger true (#3965)
* fix(#3951): two lint rules that could not reach the code they govern

B6 names two widenings. Measuring them first turned up a defect the criterion did
not know about, and refuted the reason it gave for one of them.

1. no-adhoc-markdown-parsing self-gates on its own filename.

   Lines 107-110 short-circuit create() to {} unless the path matches
   /(?:^|\/)src\/[^/]+\.cts$/. B6 says to widen the files: glob in
   eslint.config.mjs - but doing only that ships an INERT rule, because the gate
   still returns {} for every new path. Both halves have to change, and the gate
   is the load-bearing one.

   That same regex hides a live hole: [^/]+ is FLAT-ONLY, so it requires the file
   to sit directly in src/. The registered glob is src/**/*.cts, which includes
   subdirectories. 28 .cts files - health-diagnostic-rules/ (10),
   installer-migrations/ (11), observability/ (3), host-integration-adapters/ (2),
   vendor/ (2) - are inside the registered glob and silently skipped.

   Measured with the gate neutralized: 0 violations there today. The hole is
   hiding nothing right now, and is fixed anyway, because "no violations today" is
   not a property that keeps holding.

   The fix is not invented: require-subprocess-timeout.cjs:196 already carries the
   correct form of this guard, /(?:^|\/)src\/.*\.cts$/ with .*, one directory over.
   Checked the other 21 rules for the same bug - no-adhoc-regex-escape and
   no-private-binary-resolution short-circuit only to exempt their own seam file,
   which is the right shape, and no-crlf-fragile-split has no filename gate at
   all. This bug is unique to the one rule.

2. no-adhoc-regex-escape could not see the shape that actually occurs.

   Line 396 gated the whole UNSAFE-NEW-REGEXP arm on arg.type === 'Identifier'.
   Every check below it - the _SOURCE provenance check, the
   isSoleReturnOfOwnParameter shape - lives inside that branch, so
   new RegExp(obj['key']) and new RegExp(cfg.pattern) were never examined at all.
   Runtime data arrives as a property access far more often than as a bare
   identifier, which is exactly why this rule never fired on the #3477 ReDoS.

   Widened to MemberExpression, measured by AST walk across all five registered
   blocks rather than by grep. 27 sites, zero TSAsExpression:

     18  safe new RegExp(X.source, flags)  -> exempted, keyed strictly on the
         PROPERTY being `source`, never on the object. Keying on the object would
         wave through X.anything and buy nothing. B6 estimated ~10; that was an
         undercount.
      3  _SOURCE-suffixed constants reached through a required module namespace
         (phaseId.BRACKET_PHASE_TOKEN_SOURCE) -> the same provenance-exempt class
         the rule already recognizes for bare identifiers, extended to reach them.
         Without this the widening produces 3 false flags.
      6  real findings -> marked, each a test extracting a pattern from a shipped
         file at test time, where the runtime contract IS the product.

   Deliberately the NARROW MemberExpression form. The rule's own
   isSoleReturnOfOwnParameter doc comment records that an earlier broad
   "any non-literal identifier" heuristic produced ~25 false positives and was
   rejected; a re-run of the census after this change flags exactly the 6 above
   and nothing else.

Verified by execution, not by reading: the gate now accepts src/<subdir>/x.cts,
still accepts flat src/x.cts, and still exempts paths outside src/ - each pinned
by a test proven to fail against the old regex. build:lib, lint and lint:ci all
exit 0.

Refs #3951

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

* fix(#3951): give no-adhoc-markdown-parsing its reach, and fix the 80 parses it finds

The rule self-gates on filename AND is registered on one glob, so widening either
half alone is inert. Both move here: the gate now accepts tests/**/*.cjs and
scripts/**/*.cjs alongside src/**/*.cts, and eslint.config.mjs registers it on the
same two.

A test pins that the gate and the registration AGREE, in both directions. The
original defect was a gate narrower than its registration; the failure mode of
this fix is a gate wider than its registration. Both are silent, so the test
asserts the pair rather than either half.

80 violations across 43 files, all in tests/, zero in scripts/. 70 are routed
through the existing seams - scanFencedBlocks, collectSection, stripFencedCode,
tokenizeHeadings from markdown-sectionizer; splitTableRow, parseMarkdownTable,
findTableWithColumns from markdown-table. Headerless STATE.md tables use
splitTableRow per line, because parseMarkdownTable needs a real delimiter row.

10 are suppressed, 12.5%, well under the third that would have meant the rule is
mis-scoped for tests/ rather than the tests carrying debt. Each names its reason:
three regression guards (#3873 / bug-#21) are deliberately independent of the
generator's own fence handling, and routing them through the seam would have them
test the generator against itself; one is a negative-text probe that extracts
nothing; six are a shell-pipe-to-jq detector whose regex coincidentally matches the
table fingerprint and is not markdown parsing at all.

All ten sit in tests whose subject is .md content, which is normally a reason to
prefer the seam. The marker used is allow-adhoc-markdown, distinct from
no-source-grep's allow-test-rule, and lint:ci's lint-allow-test-rule-refs reports
the same 280/280 unverified count as before - checked rather than assumed, because
those two markers are easy to conflate.

The widening earned its keep immediately: it found a test that passed for the
wrong reason.

  tests/config-field-docs.test.cjs asserted notEqual(<cell>, '600') against the
  TYPE column instead of the DEFAULT column. notEqual('number', '600') is true
  forever, so the guard against workflow.subagent_timeout regressing to the old
  seconds default could never fire. docs/CONFIGURATION.md:434 is
  `| workflow.subagent_timeout | number | 300000 | ... |`, so the default is cell
  index 2; the assertion is now row-scoped through splitTableRow and reads 300000.

That is the argument for the widening in one case: the violation was invisible to
lint, the suite was green, and the assertion was vacuous. A rule that cannot reach
a file cannot tell you the file is lying.

Not fixed here, and recorded rather than assumed: #3426/#3239 are NOT reachable by
this widening. tests/package-legitimacy-gate.test.cjs yields zero violations even
with the gate bypassed - its hand-rolled scans are real, but built from line
filters and split('|') rather than the regex-literal fingerprints this rule
detects. They need new detectors. The epic assumed a wider glob would catch them.

build:lib, lint and lint:ci all exit 0; the post-fix census across tests/** and
scripts/** is 0 violations.

* fix(#3951): B7 — and #3356's defects were still live in the code

B7 asks that each closed child be driven fail-first with a behavioral identity
test at the CONSUMER's output. Four of eleven children had no test citing their
issue number. Auditing them by BEHAVIOR rather than by number-grep changed the
answer for three of the four.

#3364 and #2540 — traceability only. Both were implemented by #3941 and their
consumer-output tests exist and were shown failing-first; neither cited its
originating issue, so an audit that greps for the number reports them uncovered.
Tagged the specific asserting test in each file, following the citation form those
files already use.

#3372 — covered, but only at helper level, and the triage narrowed it. Of the four
commands the issue names, only estimate-cli's collectCalibrationSamples actually
enumerates phase dirs from disk; smart-entry, audit and roadmap-upgrade derive from
ROADMAP/body text and never reach the sentinel path, so they are benign by
construction and were left alone rather than "fixed" into churn. The existing #3882
rows asserted the helper's return value. Added a consumer-output test driving
`query estimate-calibrate` and asserting sample_count and the persisted document.
RED proof: reverted collectCalibrationSamples to a raw readdirSync and ran the real
CLI - sample_count 3, sentinel leaked; restored - sample_count 2.

#3356 — NOT covered, and BOTH halves of the defect were still live in source. The
issue is closed; the bug was not fixed. Fixed here rather than writing tests that
document a bug as correct.

  Defect 1, the contradicted row. quick.md:627 claimed
  `quick-tasks-append` performs "the equivalent write" to the Step 7c row. It did
  not: the `#` cell was a positional ordinal and `Directory` read `—`, because the
  route had no way to receive a quick id or task directory. Added OPTIONAL
  `--quick-id` / `--slug` / `--directory`. A caller with neither - fast.md, the
  original #2133 caller - omits them and gets the byte-identical prior row, so
  nothing existing changes. A caller that HAS a real id and directory now gets the
  canonical row quick.md:632 renders. The false-equivalence sentence itself is
  corrected rather than left to mislead the next reader.

  Defect 2, the forced re-derive. The route called readModifyWriteStateMd with no
  options, so a body-only append to the Quick Tasks table triggered a full
  re-derive of the disk-derived progress.* frontmatter. Every other body-only
  writer passes { resync: false } - src/state.cts's own docstring prescribes it -
  and this route was the lone outlier. RED proof: reverted the option, seeded a
  project with 2 real phase dirs and a curated total_phases of 25, ran
  quick-tasks-append; total_phases collapsed to 2. Restored; it stayed 25.

That second one is the shape this epic exists to close: a silent write that
replaces curated state with a re-derivation nobody asked for, exit 0 throughout.

build:lib, lint and lint:ci all exit 0.

* docs(#3951): amend B6's ledger to what was measured, and document the new flags

The ADR gains a ledger amendment in its own correction style - the sixth wrong
premise it records, found the same way as the other five, by measuring before
building.

B6 says the net guard count must fall. It rose: 62 -> 69, +7, measured from the
epic's filing commit to origin/next. The attribution is the point, though. Five of
the seven came from PRs unrelated to this epic, one was added by a phase of it, and
the epic did retire something sub-file - #3884 removed a detector with an explicit
"net: -1 detector, 0 added" ledger. Every named casualty is load-bearing, two
already carry retractions in this same document, and a sweep of all 22 rules plus
every scripts/lint-* found no provably dead guard. There is no honest way to make
the count fall; forcing it would trade coverage for a number, which is the Goodhart
outcome Decision 6 exists to prevent.

The amendment also records that B6's own prescribed fix for one widening was inert.
no-adhoc-markdown-parsing self-gates on its filename, so widening only the files:
glob - which is what the criterion says to do - ships a rule that still returns {}
for every new path. And #3426/#3239 are not reachable by that widening at all;
their scans use line filters and split('|'), not the regex fingerprints the rule
detects. The roster row tracked them against the wrong mechanism.

Three roster rows updated from aspiration to fact: the two widenings are DONE with
their measured counts, and lint-phase-enumeration-drift is marked RETAINED rather
than "expected casualty - verify before retiring", because Phase 5 verified it and
kept it.

The rule Decision 6 should carry forward is stated plainly: a guard ledger is a
claim about COVERAGE, not about COUNT. "Net count must fall" is measurable and
wrong. "Every guard is reachable, and each retirement names what makes its defect
unrepresentable" is the property that was actually wanted.

CLI-TOOLS.md documents the optional --quick-id/--slug/--directory flags and says
plainly that omitting them keeps the pre-#3356 row byte-identical, plus that the
append no longer re-derives progress frontmatter.

New features fragment (id 3951); FEATURES.md regenerated rather than hand-edited.
Changeset is Changed, pr:0 pending backfill.

* test(#3951): correct four rows that pinned the lint rule's old narrow reach

The remote suite came back RED with 5 failures, all in tests/eslint-rules.test.cjs.
They are stale tests, not a regression: four rows assert that
no-adhoc-markdown-parsing is inert outside src/*.cts, which is exactly the
contract this deliverable changes.

Confirmed by reading rather than inferred from the names - the row at :1981 used
filename: 'tests/some.test.cjs' and filename: 'scripts/helper.cjs', the two roots
the rule now covers on purpose.

Worth recording WHY local gates missed this. npm run lint and lint:ci were green,
and the touched test files passed standalone. Lint only reports violations in real
files; these rows assert the rule's REACH using synthetic RuleTester filenames, so
nothing but the full suite could see them. Local green on a rule change says
nothing about the rule's own tests.

Each row is rewritten with BOTH halves rather than flipped from valid to invalid:

  - the same fingerprint under tests/ or scripts/ is now flagged, with the right
    messageId
  - the negative space is preserved - the same fingerprint under a path outside
    all three roots (gsd-core/bin/lib/foo.cjs) is still NOT flagged

The second half is the one that matters. Without it the rule has no boundary and
nothing would catch an over-wide gate later, which is the mirror image of the bug
this deliverable just fixed.

Each row is renamed to state the current contract; the old names said
"non-src/*.cts ... is not flagged" and would have been actively misleading once
the bodies changed.

Proven to test the widening rather than restate it: every flagged half was run
against HEAD~2's pre-widening rule and does NOT fire there, then against the
current rule and does. 12/12 on that probe; the full file is 178/178.

Swept for the same staleness elsewhere and found none.
require-subprocess-timeout's own "inert outside src/*.cts" row is untouched -
that rule's gate was not widened here - and no-adhoc-regex-escape's test file
already carries correctly-targeted rows.

* test(#3951): acknowledge the quick.md growth the attribution guard reported

The full suite came back RED with one failure, and it is mine:

  1 file(s) grew without an acknowledgment:
    quick.md grew 364 bytes

gsd-core/workflows/quick.md is runtime-loaded emitted content, so correcting
its false 'performs the equivalent write' claim trips emitted-attribution by
construction. This is the acknowledgment, not a workaround - there is nothing
to regenerate.

The fragment names ONE path, which is the only one the guard reported. The four
spent acknowledgments it also listed (audit-uat, plan-phase, progress, review)
belong to other fragments whose ripple the base already absorbs; they are inert,
not failures, and are deliberately NOT copied here - naming paths I did not
change would make this record false in the other direction.

Byte figure corrected before committing: the guard reported 37220 -> 37584
(+364), but origin/next has since moved and quick.md is 37232 there now, so the
measured delta is +352. The reason text says so and names the base as a moving
figure rather than pinning a number that is already stale.

* test(#3951): move the quick.md growth ack to a trailer, delete the obsolete fragment

The acknowledgment mechanism changed under this branch. Merging next brought in
the redesign - it also deleted .github/workflows/ack-fragment-sweep.yml, which
was in the merge status and which I did not register at the time - and the guard
now says so directly:

  Add a trailer to a commit in this PR (never a new file).
    Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: quick.md - <why this growth is deliberate>

So tests/emitted-drift-acks/3951-quick-append-equivalence.json is obsolete on
arrival. A fragment file is no longer read by anything, and leaving it would be a
dead record that looks like an active one. It is deleted here rather than kept
"just in case".

The byte figure moved again with the merge: 37232 -> 37596, +364. The earlier
fragment said +352, measured before the merge auto-merged quick.md itself. The
trailer carries no number, which is the better design - the figure was stale
twice in two attempts.

Refs #3951

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: quick.md — #3356/#3951 replaces a false claim with an accurate one. Line 627 said the `quick-tasks-append` shortcut "performs the equivalent write" to the Step 7c row rendered above it; it did not, and that was the documented half of #3356 — with no quick id or task directory the route emitted a positional ordinal in `#` and an em-dash in `Directory`, a visibly different row. The corrected sentence has to carry three facts the original elided: what the shortcut actually writes when it has neither input, that this is honest behavior for its real caller (`fast.md`, which has neither), and how a caller with both now gets the byte-identical canonical row via the new optional `--quick-id`/`--slug`/`--directory` flags. Prose is the product here — an executing agent reads this line to decide whether the shortcut is safe for its case, and a shorter correction would either drop the flags (leaving the reader unable to act on the fix) or drop the limitation (recreating the false claim in gentler words).

9410f7e6e6 enhance(#3897): ADR-3473 §8.3 rungs 2-4 — runtime marker, derived Codex sandbox, short-form depends_on (#3941)
* test(#3897): failing-first coverage for §8.3 rungs 2-4

ADR-3473 §8.3 has four rungs; #3883/PR #3896 shipped the first. This pins the
other three RED before any fix.

Rung 2 — the install marker has four readers and resolveRuntime is not one.

  resolveRuntime resolves GSD_RUNTIME > config.runtime > 'claude' and reads no
  marker at all, while bin/install.js writes one (#2297) and FOUR hand-rolled
  readInstallRuntimeMarker copies exist: src/model-resolver.cts:65 (cached, with
  test seams), hooks/gsd-agent-isolation-guard.js:112, and TWICE in
  hooks/gsd-cursor-subagent-start.js at :346 and :355. Four copies of one rule.

  Fixtures and seam names mined from PR #3382 rather than re-derived; it
  implemented this rung and was closed "not on the merits".

Rung 3 — the sandbox map, and the fallback that was the real defect.

  Measured across all 35 files in agents/, deriving workspace-write iff tools:
  declares Write or Edit:

    - all 11 CODEX_AGENT_SANDBOX entries derive to their mapped value exactly,
      zero disagreements — the map carries nothing the contract does not
    - 24 roles fall through `|| 'read-only'`, of which 16 declare Write or Edit

  So the map is redundant and the silent fallback is the defect. The maintainer
  chose to derive but hold those 16 at read-only pending the question of whether
  Codex enforces sandbox_mode or merely advises; HALT.md records it.

  T20 asserts the emitted sandbox_mode PER ROLE against a captured baseline, not
  in aggregate — an aggregate passes while one role silently widens, which is
  the proxy-instead-of-identity shape this repo names. T24 and T25 fail on a
  stale hold, so the hold list cannot rot into the subset map being deleted.

Rung 4 — shortFormToId, recovered rather than invented.

  I nearly reported this as another wrong §8.3 claim: `git log -S shortFormToId`
  returns only documentation commits. That was the wrong instrument. Direct
  inspection of sdk/src/query/phase.ts at 11918dcc3^ shows five occurrences, and
  the tests match that code rather than a guess at its semantics — including
  first-write-wins on a duplicate short form.

  T43 asserts at the consumer's output: the emitted `waves` map from the real
  CLI, which pre-fix collapses to {"1":[...]} because every short-form edge is
  dropped. A unit assertion on resolveDependencyId would have passed throughout
  this defect's life.

Observed RED, this tree:
  rung 2   11/11 fail — no marker rung, no seams
  rung 3   T23,T24,T25,T26,T30 fail; T28 fails (validate agents passes a TOML
           whose sandbox_mode disagrees — it checks presence only)
  rung 4   T42,T44 fail; T43,T49 fail with waves collapsed to a single wave 1

Green and staying green: T20/T21/T22/T27 as captured baselines, #3885's
unresolvable-token warning and wave-verdict suppression, and #3785's
display-mapping passthrough. If the third tier over-reaches, those go red — that
is their job.

Disclosed weakness: T45 (a canonical id with no dash is not short-form indexed)
cannot be isolated behaviorally, because planMap always masks it. It is a
non-crash boundary pin, weaker than the other rows, and is recorded as such
rather than presented as equivalent.

* enhance(#3897): §8.3 rungs 2-4 — one marker reader, a derived sandbox, the third depends_on tier

ADR-3473 §8.3 has four rungs. #3883/PR #3896 shipped the first. These are the
other three.

Rung 2 — the install marker had four readers, and resolveRuntime was not one.

  resolveRuntime resolved GSD_RUNTIME > config.runtime > 'claude' and read no
  marker, while bin/install.js writes one (#2297) and four hand-rolled
  readInstallRuntimeMarker copies existed: src/model-resolver.cts (cached, with
  seams), hooks/gsd-agent-isolation-guard.js, and twice in
  hooks/gsd-cursor-subagent-start.js.

  model-resolver's was already the house idiom, so it was promoted rather than
  replaced: src/runtime-slash.cts now owns it, and model-resolver plus both
  hooks delegate. The hooks reach it through ensureRuntimeBuild(), the seam
  lint-hooks-runtime-build-seam enforces. No import cycle existed - checked
  both directions before moving anything.

  The marker is the THIRD rung: env > project config > marker > 'claude'.

  N1 was checked rather than assumed, and my first reading of it was wrong. A
  marker holding an unknown name comes back essentially verbatim, which looked
  like a validation gap. Measured against the env rung with the same inputs -
  including "../../etc/passwd" and "claude;rm -rf /" - the two are identical,
  because they share resolveRuntimeNameFromCandidates. N1 asks for exactly that,
  and it is met. The residual (the shared normalizer normalizes shape, it does
  not validate against the known-runtime set) is pre-existing on the env rung
  and plausibly deliberate, since a new runtime should not need a code change.
  The marker also does not widen the trust boundary in any real sense: it lives
  inside the install tree beside the code, so anyone who can write it can write
  runtime-slash.cjs itself.

Rung 3 — the map was redundant; the silent fallback was the defect.

  Measured across all 35 files in agents/, deriving workspace-write iff tools:
  declares Write or Edit: all 11 CODEX_AGENT_SANDBOX entries derive to their
  mapped value exactly, zero disagreements. The map carried nothing the contract
  did not already have, so it is DELETED rather than reconciled. What was
  actually broken is `|| 'read-only'`, which silently under-granted 24 of 35
  roles.

  16 of those 24 declare Write or Edit and would widen under derivation. Per the
  maintainer's decision (HALT.md), they are held at read-only pending the
  question of whether Codex enforces sandbox_mode or merely advises. Emitted
  TOML is therefore byte-identical for all 35 roles - asserted per role, not in
  aggregate, because an aggregate passes while one role silently widens.

  The hold list self-invalidates. A hold whose role no longer derives broader
  fails, and so does a hold naming a role with no agents/<name>.md. Without
  that it would rot into exactly the hand-maintained subset map being deleted,
  and this commit's own ledger claim would become false over time. Both cases
  were proved by injecting them and watching them throw.

  Two committed tests asserted the deleted map's existence and contents. They
  were pinning the thing being removed, so the tests moved rather than the
  production code: the 11 role-value pairs survive as a test-local
  PRE_3897_CODEX_AGENT_SANDBOX baseline, and the assertions now drive the real
  derivation against real agents/*.md. The coverage is preserved; only its
  source moved out of production code.

  validate agents gains checkCodexSandboxPosture, mirroring the existing
  checkCodexModelPosture: each installed TOML's sandbox_mode must equal the
  role's expected value, failing with role, expected and found. It previously
  checked file presence and manifest completeness only, so a TOML whose
  sandbox_mode disagreed passed.

Rung 4 — shortFormToId, recovered rather than invented.

  I nearly reported this as another wrong §8.3 claim: git log -S returns only
  documentation commits. Wrong instrument. sdk/src/query/phase.ts at 11918dcc3^
  carries five occurrences, and the implementation here matches that code rather
  than a guess at its semantics - including first-write-wins on a duplicate
  short form, deterministic from the sorted plan order.

  It resolves the bare plan number: depends_on: ["01"] now reaches
  26-01-auth-hardening. That is a control-flow change, not a diagnostic one -
  plans that silently collapsed into a single wave 1 now execute in their
  declared waves, and execute-phase.md consumes those wave values.

  In-phase only, by construction: the map is built from this phase's rawPlans,
  so a same-named short form in another phase does not resolve.

  #3785's display-mapping passthrough and #3885's unresolvable-token warning and
  wave-verdict suppression are untouched and stay green. If the third tier had
  over-reached, those are what would have caught it.

* fix(#3897): close a fail-open I introduced, and wire the posture check to its command

Two blockers from review. Both are mine, and one is a security regression my own
change created.

1. A held role could escape its hold by editing its own frontmatter.

  The Codex install loop set the sandbox identity from the agent's frontmatter
  `name:` field rather than from its filename, so the hold lookup keyed off a
  value the file itself declares:

    deriveCodexSandboxMode('gsd-doc-writer',   <real file>)          -> read-only
    deriveCodexSandboxMode('gsd-doc-writer-x', <same file, name: edited>) -> workspace-write
    deriveCodexSandboxMode('GSD-Doc-Writer',   <same file, name: recased>) -> workspace-write

  What makes this a blocker rather than a nit is the DIRECTION. The deleted
  CODEX_AGENT_SANDBOX map had the identical lookup-key quirk, but it was an
  allowlist: an unmatched key fell back to read-only, which is safe. The new
  scheme derives workspace-write from the tool contract and uses the hold as a
  subtraction, so the same mismatch fails OPEN. I converted a fail-closed quirk
  into a fail-open one and did not notice; the isolated reviewer proved it by
  execution.

  Neither safety net caught it. validateCodexSandboxHolds only checks that
  <key>.md exists, never that a file's derived identity matches its key.
  checkCodexSandboxPosture looks the canonical source up by the installed TOML's
  filename, finds nothing for a renamed agent, and treats it as a custom
  non-roster agent — silently no violation.

  The identity is now the FILENAME STEM, which is what validateCodexSandboxHolds
  already validates and what an attacker editing frontmatter cannot change
  without renaming the file — at which point the existing validator catches it.
  The lookup is case-insensitive so a recase does not slip past either. The
  frontmatter name still drives the TOML body and filename, unchanged; only the
  sandbox identity moved.

  All 35 roster files were checked: name matches filename stem everywhere, so a
  stricter "they must agree or throw" invariant would have been safe against real
  content. It is deliberately NOT added — it would abort an install on a tampered
  file where emitting a correctly-derived read-only TOML is the safer outcome.
  Recorded as a fork rather than decided silently.

2. checkCodexSandboxPosture was exported and never called.

  cmdValidateAgents (src/verify.cts) called checkAgentsInstalled and
  checkCodexModelPosture only; grep for the sandbox check in that file returned
  nothing. So criterion 3 — "validate agents fails on semantic drift, not only on
  missing files" — was unmet, and `validate agents` behaved exactly as before.
  That is ADR-3473 Decision 2's named shape: a declared policy with no executor.

  It also meant the T28 test asserted at the helper's return value while the
  COMMAND stayed broken — the ADR-3180 Decision 4(b) failure this epic exists to
  close, committed by me while enforcing it elsewhere in the same epic.

  Now wired as an additive `sandbox_posture` field beside `codex_posture`,
  following the sibling precedent exactly. Drift is report-only, not a non-zero
  exit, because that is what checkCodexModelPosture does — two sibling posture
  checks disagreeing about whether a violation is fatal would be its own defect.
  The choice is recorded in a comment rather than left implicit. A consumer-output
  test now drives the real CLI and asserts on the emitted JSON, and was shown
  failing before the wiring and passing after.

Also corrected a stale artifact: the design's Known limit L1 still claimed rung 3
was not in this deliverable, written while it was halted and false once the
maintainer unblocked it.

Verified after both fixes: the three bypass probes all return read-only, the
per-role table is 35/35 byte-identical, and both hold self-invalidation cases
still throw.

* docs(#3897): the marker rung, the derived sandbox, and the bare plan-number depends_on

Reference: the runtime precedence ladder in docs/CLI-TOOLS.md gains the install
marker rung; docs/COMMANDS.md documents validate agents' new sandbox_posture
field; docs/reference/plan-md.md documents that depends_on accepts the bare plan
number.

Explanation: a docs/features fragment keyed id 3897, so it cannot collide with a
concurrent PR hand-allocating a section number, regenerated into FEATURES.md.

ADR-3473 §8.3 gains an ANSWER blockquote in the document's own correction style,
recording what was measured and built against the section's 2026-08-26 correction
- including the qualification that checkAgentsInstalled itself still checks
presence only, and the semantic assertion lives in a sibling wired into validate
agents rather than folded into it.

No how-to. Both user-visible changes are zero-step: a non-Claude install resolving
its own runtime, and plans executing in their declared waves, both happen without
the user doing anything. docs/how-to/control-the-reported-host-runtime.md covers a
DIFFERENT ladder (resolveReportedRuntime / agent_runtime) that this change does
not touch, and was deliberately left alone rather than edited by association.

No tutorial - nothing multi-step to walk through. docs/AGENTS.md unchanged: it
documents Claude-side tools frontmatter, never Codex sandbox_mode, and the
emitted tools contract did not change.

The prompt layer documents depends_on only by example, not by schema, so nothing
there needed editing - and few-shot-examples/plan-checker.md already showed
depends_on: ['01'], which now actually resolves.

Translated copies of plan-md.md are untouched; the project treats translations as
community-maintained.

* fix(#3897): move the sandbox derivation out of the installer, off the install path, and off a third parser

The full suite came back with 26 failures across four files. Three distinct
causes, mapped individually rather than assuming the first explained the rest.

A. Requiring bin/install.js printed the GSD banner to stdout and corrupted
   `validate agents` JSON.

     Unexpected token '', "[36m   ██"... is not valid JSON

   checkCodexSandboxPosture reached deriveCodexSandboxMode by lazily requiring
   bin/install.js, whose module load prints the ASCII banner. So the command
   emitted banner bytes before its JSON and every JSON consumer broke, including
   ten tests that predate this branch. src/ reaching into bin/ was backwards
   layering that happened to also be loud.

   The derivation now lives in src/codex-agent-toml.cts - the existing Codex TOML
   domain module, no new module and no six-gate ripple - and both bin/install.js
   and src/agent-install-check.cts import it. One owner, which is §8.3's rule
   applied to the fix for §8.3.

B. The stale-hold throw fired on a legitimate partial source dir, and masked a
   security assertion.

   validateCodexSandboxHolds treated "this hold's .md is absent from the install
   SOURCE dir" as a stale hold and threw. A test fixture, or any partial install
   source, legitimately contains a couple of agents. Worse, it threw BEFORE the
   path-escape check, so a test asserting that a `../../evil` frontmatter name is
   rejected got my unrelated error instead of the traversal rejection it was
   written for. A fail-closed check of mine was hiding a real security check.

   The "no stale holds, shrink-only" invariant is a property of the repo's
   canonical agents/ roster, not of whatever directory an install happens to read.
   It is off the runtime path and enforced where it belongs, in the tests that
   already existed for it. A partial source dir now installs cleanly, and the
   evil-name case throws with its own escapes-configHome message again.

C. T8 depended on ambient process.env state.

   The marker/env parity assertion round-tripped through live process.env. It now
   compares against resolveExplicitRuntime's already-exported dependency-injection
   parameter - deterministic and hermetic, same claim. Proven still falsifiable
   rather than assumed: with the marker rung's normalization temporarily bypassed
   the two rungs diverge ("codex\n../../etc/passwd" vs "codex-../../etc/passwd")
   and the assertion fails, then passes again once reverted.

One correction folded in along the way. The first version of the move added
private _extractFrontmatterAndBody/_extractFrontmatterField helpers to
codex-agent-toml.cts - a THIRD copy of frontmatter extraction, where the graph
already shows two (bin/install.js:2348, runtime-artifact-conversion.cts:893).
Adding a third inside the epic whose thesis is one implementation per rule is not
defensible. deriveCodexSandboxMode no longer parses anything: it takes
(identity, toolsValue) and each caller supplies the tools value using the
extractor it already has. Both helpers are deleted. The identity argument is
still the filename stem, so the fail-open fix is untouched.

Verified after all three: `validate agents --raw` emits parseable JSON with no
banner and both posture fields; the four hold-bypass probes still return
read-only; the per-role table is 35/35 byte-identical at 26 read-only / 9
workspace-write; the hold list is still 16.

* fix(#3897): drop a dev-only transitive dep, make the derivation total, retire a stale fallback test

Suite down to 7 failures from 26. Three more causes, mapped individually.

A. My extractor import dragged in a script that does not exist in an installed
   tree.

     Cannot find module '../../../scripts/fix-slash-commands.cjs'

   Chain: src/agent-install-check.cts imported runtime-artifact-conversion.cjs,
   which requires command-roster.cjs, whose line 36 requires
   ../../../scripts/fix-slash-commands.cjs. That path exists in the repo and not
   in an install, so every test exercising a synthetic install dir died at module
   load. I picked that extractor for convenience without checking what it pulls
   in - the same mistake that produced the banner bug, one layer further out.

   agent-install-check now uses a single-purpose extractToolsLine on
   codex-agent-toml.cts. That is deliberately NOT a general frontmatter parser:
   we deleted those helpers a commit ago for good reason, and this reads one
   line. Verified from outside the repo root that requiring either module prints
   nothing and does not throw.

B. A test pinned the deleted name-based fallback.

   'defaults unknown agents to read-only' called generateCodexAgentToml with a
   fixture declaring tools: Read, Write, Edit. Under derivation an unknown agent
   with a writing contract correctly derives workspace-write - design row S6, a
   new writing role gets the contract, not the pin. The behavior it asserted was
   the silent fallback this rung deleted; identity no longer decides the sandbox.

   Replaced with two rows rather than a flipped string: no tools declared ->
   read-only (absence is not a grant), and Write/Edit declared -> workspace-write.
   Strictly more coverage than the row it replaces.

C. The stale-hold check still threw per derivation call.

   Last commit took the roster-existence check off the install path, but
   deriveCodexSandboxMode itself still threw when a hold's role did not derive
   broader FOR THE CONTENT IT WAS HANDED - so it fired on any synthetic fixture
   for a held role.

   The throw is gone, and it cost nothing: if a held role's content does not
   derive broader, the hold pins read-only and derivation returns read-only
   anyway, so the hold is a no-op and there is nothing to fail about. The
   staleness invariant is a property of the real agents/ roster, and
   validateCodexSandboxHolds still enforces it there - confirmed against the real
   roster after the change, not assumed.

   deriveCodexSandboxMode is now total: every (identity, toolsValue) including
   undefined and null returns read-only or workspace-write, never throws.

Verified: validate agents emits parseable JSON; the four hold-bypass probes
return read-only; the per-role table is 35/35 at 26 read-only / 9
workspace-write.

* docs(#3897): put the rung-3 decision in the shipped docs instead of pointing at an ignored path

The ADR entry and the feature fragment both ended their rung-3 explanation with
"see .gsd/phase/feat-3897-adr3473-83-rungs/45-decision-rung3-sandbox.md". That
directory is gitignored (.gitignore:55), so the rationale for holding 16 roles at
read-only was reachable only from the machine that produced it. A reader of the
ADR got a pointer to nothing.

Both now carry the reasoning inline: the criterion asks both that the sandbox
derive from the declared tool contract and that no role gain a broader sandbox,
and those cannot both hold, because a faithful derivation widens 16 roles the
deleted map never listed and that fell through its silent read-only default. The
resolution is derive-and-hold - the derivation owns the rule now, each hold is
released as its enforcement question is answered, and a hold is reversible where
a widened sandbox that turns out to be enforced is not.

Checked before assuming this was a defect class: CONTEXT.md cites
.gsd/phase/<slug>/40-design.md as its standard Design: provenance line in eight
module entries, and four other shipped docs do the same. Citing a phase artifact
is an established convention here, so those are left alone. What was wrong was
specific to these two: they put load-bearing rationale behind the pointer instead
of provenance.

* fix(#3897): close a fail-open, stop a silent mis-resolution, and read a declaration as a declaration

Two orthogonal reviews on the shipped sha. Three of the findings are the same
failure class this epic exists to close, committed inside it.

1. BLOCKER - the sandbox was decided for one identity and applied to another.

   bin/install.js derived sandbox_mode for the filename stem and then wrote the
   result to `${name}.toml`, where name comes from the file's own frontmatter.
   Make the two disagree and a HELD role's artifact goes wide:

     rename gsd-doc-writer.md -> gsd-doc-writer-v2.md, keep name: gsd-doc-writer
       -> stem is unheld, derives workspace-write, lands on gsd-doc-writer.toml
     add any gsd-*.md whose frontmatter name: is a held role
       -> clobbers that role's toml with workspace-write

   Both emit read-only on origin/next, because the deleted map was an allowlist
   and a miss fell back safe. This is a regression my change introduced. The
   previous review round moved the HOLD KEY off frontmatter to the filename stem
   and left the OUTPUT PATH on frontmatter; my own comment at install.js:6985
   calls that value attacker-editable, four lines above the line that uses it as
   the filename.

   The decision is now made over BOTH candidate identities, most-restrictive
   wins: if either the stem or the emitted name is held, the mode is read-only.

2. MAJOR - hold matching was toLowerCase() only, so confusables escaped.

   Turkish dotted/dotless i, fullwidth, NFD, trailing space/NBSP/dot/newline,
   ./ and ../agents/ all slipped the hold and emitted workspace-write.
   Identities are now basenamed, trimmed of NBSP/zero-width/control characters,
   NFKC-normalized and lowercased - and anything still carrying a character
   outside [a-z0-9._-] is treated as suspicious and derives read-only. We do not
   enumerate confusables; every shipped roster file is ASCII, so refusing to
   widen on an identity we cannot recognize is fail-closed with no false
   positives on real content.

3. MAJOR - the short-form depends_on tier mis-resolved SILENTLY.

   shortFormToId keyed on the last dash-segment of any canonical id with no
   constraint that it is a plan number, so a phase holding 09-FIX-auth-PLAN.md
   made depends_on: ["auth"] bind at wave 2 with zero warnings. This is the
   worst shape in the epic: the unresolvable-token warning fires on a DROPPED
   token, so a MIS-RESOLVED one is invisible and the tool reports a confident
   wave assignment built from a wrong edge. A wrong edge is worse than a missing
   one.

   The segment must now match /^\d+$/, which is exactly the contract
   docs/reference/plan-md.md already documents. This tier was recovered verbatim
   from the retired SDK lineage, which carried the same defect; we are
   deliberately NOT preserving it bug-for-bug, and the comment says so, so the
   next reader does not "restore" it.

4. MAJOR - the derivation was reading a declaration as an absence.

   extractToolsLine read one line, so a YAML list-form tools: block returned only
   its first item. Two roster files use list form, and gsd-nyquist-auditor
   declares Write and Edit there - parsed as "- Read", found no write tool, and
   emitted read-only. Rung 3's headline claim is that sandbox_mode derives from
   the declared tool contract; that claim was false for 2 of 35 roles and
   materially wrong for 1. Reading a declaration as an absence is the silent-drop
   class this epic exists to close.

   Renamed extractToolsValue and taught it both shapes. gsd-nyquist-auditor now
   derives workspace-write and joins CODEX_SANDBOX_HOLDS as its 17th entry, per
   the standing derive-and-hold decision - so emitted TOML stays byte-identical
   at 26 read-only / 9 workspace-write while the hold list finally records every
   role that would widen. A previous pass declined this fix because it moved the
   count; that inverts the priority. Byte-identity is preserved THROUGH the hold,
   not by leaving a parser broken.

   Divergence check, because this is where that bug hides: both paths feeding
   sandbox derivation - install.js's emitter and checkCodexSandboxPosture - now
   route through the one extractor. The tools readers in
   runtime-artifact-conversion and install.js's other frontmatter call sites
   serve Claude-side emission and do not feed sandbox derivation.

Also fixed, each real: the posture check's `found` used a naive whole-file regex
where its own sibling uses the block-aware scanner, so prose inside
developer_instructions produced a false violation; `found` skipped
truncatePostureValue and leaked a 300-char value into validate agents output;
deriveCodexSandboxMode's absolute never-throws claim was false for an object with
a throwing toString; T49 could not falsify cross-phase leakage (its target phase
had its own 01, so a globally-scoped map passed too); T20/N6 iterated a hardcoded
table and pinned the FIXTURE size, so a 36th agent would be silently unchecked;
three tests reimplemented the code they were testing instead of importing it; and
T2-T4 deleted GSD_RUNTIME without restoring it.

Verified: hold list 17, gsd-nyquist-auditor derives workspace-write unheld and
emits read-only held, roster 35/35 at 26/9, depends_on ["auth"] no longer
resolves while ["01"] still does, both identity-bypass cases and every confusable
vector emit read-only.

* docs(#3897): the hold list is 17, and the reason the 17th was missing

The count read 16 because the derivation could not read the declaration it
claimed to derive from: the tools reader was single-line, so a YAML list-form
tools: block returned only its first item and gsd-nyquist-auditor's declared
Write and Edit were read as an absence.

Both the ADR entry and the feature fragment now carry the corrected count and the
reason for it, rather than a silently updated number. Deriving from a declaration
you cannot parse is not deriving, and a flattering count is worse than a wrong
one because it looks settled.

929e02cb2c enhance(#3885): no silent swallow, and no verdict manufactured from dropped data (#3925)
* test(#3885): failing-first coverage for the depth bound and the manufactured wave verdict

ADR-3473 §8.5 says a swallowed failure may not become an authoritative-looking
answer. Three families do exactly that today; this commit pins each one RED.

Measured on this tree, 2026-08-27:

  intel query, .planning/intel/file-roles.json nested 12000 deep
    -> exit 1, "Error: Maximum call stack size exceeded"
       searchJsonEntries / matchesInValue carry no depth parameter at all.
       The MAX_JSON_SEARCH_DEPTH = 48 bound existed in the retired SDK lineage
       (sdk/src/query/intel.ts at 11918dcc3^) and the surviving .cts lineage
       never received it.

  same fixture nested 48 and 49 deep
    -> both return total=1 at exit 0, truncated=undefined
       Nothing distinguishes "searched to the bottom" from "stopped looking".

  query phase-plan-index, a plan whose depends_on names an unresolvable token
    -> warnings: ["Plan 03-02: declared wave: 2 but depends_on DAG places it
                  in wave 1"]
       The token is never mentioned. computeDependencyLevels drops the edge
       with `if (!resolvedDep) continue;`, every plan becomes a root, and the
       tool then reports the author's correct wave: as the thing that is wrong.

  countPhasePlansAndSummaries with fs.readdirSync throwing EACCES
    -> hasContext:false, indistinguishable from a phase that simply has no
       CONTEXT.md. context_read_error is undefined.

The shapes these tests assert against, chosen here so the implementation has a
target rather than inventing one later: `truncated: boolean` on the intel query
result, `unresolved: Array<{plan, token}>` from computeDependencyLevels, and
`context_read_error: string | null` per analyzed phase.

Deliberately green, and they must stay that way — each stops the fix from
over-firing:

  depth 48 is found and NOT flagged truncated (the ceiling is inclusive)
  a shallow miss reports no truncation           (noise control, N1)
  10,000 siblings at depth 2 are unaffected      (the bound is DEPTH, N2)
  a genuine wave: mismatch on a fully-resolved DAG still warns (N3)
  a genuinely missing directory is absent, not an error
  the emitted depends_on display mapping still passes an unresolved token
    through verbatim — already pinned by the existing #3785 test, so no
    duplicate was added

T31 asserts at the consumer's output per ADR-3180 Decision 4(b): it runs the
real CLI and reads the emitted JSON, because a unit assertion on
computeDependencyLevels would have passed throughout #3427's life.

* enhance(#3885): no silent swallow, and no verdict manufactured from dropped data

Implements ADR-3473 §8.5. A failure or a gap in the input stops being absorbed
into an output that reads as authoritative.

The recursion bound, restored but NOT verbatim (src/intel.cts)

  MAX_JSON_SEARCH_DEPTH = 48 is threaded through searchJsonEntries and
  matchesInValue, which carried no depth parameter at all. The bound existed in
  the retired SDK lineage (sdk/src/query/intel.ts at 11918dcc3^) and the
  surviving .cts lineage never received it — §8.3's "a consolidation may not
  delete an invariant along with the surface that held it", demonstrated.

  Measured before: a .planning/intel file nested 12000 deep exits 1 with
  "Error: Maximum call stack size exceeded". Reachable from a project document.

  The original returned a bare `false` at the ceiling. Restoring that verbatim
  would trade a crash for a silent "no match" when the truth is "I stopped
  looking" — the same class this epic exists to close, and ADR-3473 Decision 4
  forbids it. So the bound carries a truncation signal:

    nesting 47 -> found,     truncated false
    nesting 48 -> found,     truncated false      (the ceiling is inclusive)
    nesting 49 -> not found, truncated TRUE
    nesting 12000 -> exit 0, truncated TRUE, no RangeError

  A shallow document that simply has no match reports truncated FALSE — the
  flag means "I stopped early", never "I found nothing", or it would be noise.
  The bound is on DEPTH: 10,000 siblings at depth 2 are unaffected.

The dropped edge is named, and stops being blamed on the author (src/phase.cts)

  computeDependencyLevels dropped every unresolvable depends_on token with a
  bare `continue`. Each drop makes a plan a root, so the whole phase collapses
  to wave 1 — and cmdPhasePlanIndex then reported the author's CORRECT wave: as
  the thing that was wrong.

  Before:
    warnings: ["Plan 03-02: declared wave: 2 but depends_on DAG places it in
                wave 1"]
  After:
    warnings: ["Plan 03-02: depends_on token \"nonexistent-token-3427\" does not
                resolve to any plan in this phase — edge dropped, wave placement
                for this plan may be unreliable"]

  The suppression is PER PLAN, never blanket: a plan with a fully-resolved DAG
  and a genuinely wrong wave: still gets the mismatch warning. resolveDependencyId
  stays two-tier — the shortFormToId third tier is §8.3/Phase 6's rule and is
  deliberately not built here. The emitted depends_on display mapping still
  passes an unresolved token through verbatim (#3785).

No artifact from failed inputs (gsd-core/workflows/review.md, #3352)

  A failed lane leaves no result file, so "every lane failed" is exactly "the
  aggregate JSONL has zero lines" — the gate condition already existed as a
  byproduct. REVIEWS.md is no longer written in that case, and the commit step
  is skipped with it. A budget-SKIPPED lane also leaves no file and is NOT
  counted as a failure. Per-lane output and non-empty .err are preserved to
  .review-diagnostics/ before `rm -rf "{run_dir}"` destroys the only record that
  the lanes failed at all; the commit step names one file, never a glob, so the
  diagnostics are not swept in.

Unreadable is not absent (roadmap.cts, gap-checker.cts, init.cts x2)

  Four callers collapsed an EACCES on a phase directory into [] and reported
  hasContext:false — byte-identical to a phase that simply has no CONTEXT.md.
  Each now names the directory it could not read. A genuinely missing directory
  stays absent rather than becoming an error, which is what keeps the fix from
  over-firing.

Fatal errno folded into a retry set: audited, no defect found

  Reported as a verified negative rather than padded with a change.
  withPlanningLock was fixed by #1884/PR #3472; acquireStateLock by #3776;
  atomicRenameWithRetry and estimate-cli's renameWithRetry are correct by
  construction — bounded set {EPERM,EBUSY,EACCES}, bounded attempts, and they
  return or rethrow the final error rather than swallowing it. estimate-cli's
  sole caller surfaces that rethrow as write_error in its JSON output.
  Manufacturing a diff to make the checkbox look worked-on is the Goodhart
  outcome Decision 6 exists to prevent.

Disclosed: R46 (the commit step names one file, never a glob) is a real
regression guard but is NOT independently failing-first — the commit fence is
byte-identical pre- and post-fix, so it only fails pre-fix through its shared
extraction dependency. Recorded rather than claimed as fail-first.

* fix(#3885): escape untrusted tokens, and stop cleanup destroying unpreserved evidence

Two review findings, both real, both in my own change.

An isolated adversarial review found the evidence-preservation block never
checked mkdir/cp exit status while `rm -rf "{run_dir}"` ran unconditionally in
a SEPARATE fenced block. A disk-full or unwritable phase directory therefore
still destroyed the only copy of the failed lanes' output — reintroducing the
exact #3352 data loss this item exists to stop, inside the fix for it.

Preservation and cleanup are now one block, because each fenced block is a
separate execution and a shell variable cannot carry between them. mkdir -p and
each cp are exit-checked; cleanup runs only when preservation succeeded, and a
failure warns naming the intact run directory. "Nothing to preserve" is not a
failure and still cleans up. Driven three ways: success removes run_dir, failure
leaves it intact with the warning, nothing-to-preserve removes it. The failure is
induced by a file-vs-directory conflict rather than chmod 0o000, which root
bypasses.

The new unresolved-depends_on warning embedded a user-authored token verbatim:

  warnings: ["Plan 03-02: depends_on token \"evil
  Plan 03-01: FORGED WARNING\" does not resolve ..."]

The JSON wire form is safe, and the security reviewer judged it non-exploitable
for that reason. It is escaped anyway through formatDiagnosticToken — the helper
#3884 added one phase earlier for exactly this class. warnings[] is an array a
consumer naturally prints line by line, and not reusing the sibling fix is the
generative-fix-divergence shape this epic exists to close. The same treatment is
applied to context_read_error / phase_dir_read_error, which embed a phase
directory path a repository can choose, and to the fs error message, which
echoes the raw path itself.

Known limit L5 recorded: the bound is on DEPTH only. A 300,000-element shallow
array yields a 14.5MB reply with truncated:false. Correct per §8.5 and per
negative space N2, disclosed rather than left to be discovered.

* fix(#3885): unreadable is not absent in intel.cts either, and a corrupt snapshot is not "no snapshot"

Blocker from the round-2 isolated review, and it is my own inconsistency:
this phase applied "unreadable is not absent" to phase directories and left it
broken in the file it was already editing.

  chmod 000 .planning/intel/file-roles.json
  gsd-tools intel query <term>
  -> {"matches":[],"total":0,"truncated":false}  exit 0

safeReadJson swallowed every read failure and returned null, so an EACCES was
byte-indistinguishable from an absent file AND from a genuine no-match. Now it
separates three states: ENOENT stays silently absent, because not every project
has every intel file and intelQuery loops over all of them expecting misses;
EACCES/EIO and malformed JSON are both surfaced naming the file. A corrupt intel
file previously read as "no matches" too — same defect, same fix.

Threading that outcome through the other three callers found something worse
than the reported case. intelDiff returned no_baseline:true for a corrupt or
unreadable snapshot — not a silent failure but an actively FALSE verdict, telling
the caller they never took a snapshot when they did. That is §8.5's headline
case, so it is fixed and tested rather than noted. intelStatus and
intelApiSurface collapsed the same way; intelApiSurface additionally printed a
"not yet populated" banner that was simply untrue.

Every row is failing-first, including the absent-file ones — the field is new,
so it does not exist pre-fix at all. Those rows are not pre-fix pins; they pin
that the fix does not OVER-fire on the ordinary absent case, which is what would
turn this into noise on every project lacking an intel file. IO failure is
injected by monkeypatching fs and restoring in finally, never chmod 0o000 — root
bypasses mode bits, so the reviewer's manual chmod repro is not reproducible as
a test.

* test(#3885): build the pathological intel fixture as text, not by stringifying a nested object

The remote runner came back red on Linux with two failures, both
T4: deeplyNestedIntelDoesNotOverflowTheStack, while the same test passed on
macOS. The product was never at fault.

writeNestedFixture(12000) built a 12,000-deep JavaScript OBJECT and then
JSON.stringify'd it. JSON.stringify recurses once per level, so it overflowed
the TEST PROCESS's stack — the error was thrown before the CLI was ever spawned.
Linux's container stack is smaller than macOS's, which is the whole of the
platform difference.

Measured, with the same document built as JSON TEXT so nothing in the building
process recurses:

  depth=100    rc=0 truncated=true
  depth=5000   rc=0 truncated=true
  depth=12000  rc=0 truncated=true
  depth=60000  rc=0 truncated=true

V8 parses this shape iteratively; only stringify recurses. The bound works at
every depth tried.

The fixture is now built by string concatenation. That is also the more faithful
input — a real deeply nested JSON document on disk is exactly what the bound
guards, where a stringified object was only ever a way to produce one.

The depth stays 12000. Lowering it would have made the test pass by weakening it
to accommodate a fixture bug, and 12000 is a legitimate pathological input the
product handles. T4 remains a genuine fail-first: rebuilt against the parent of
the commit that added the bound, the string-built depth-12000 fixture still
drives the CLI to rc=1 with "Error: Maximum call stack size exceeded".

A comment records why the fixture is text, so it is not "simplified" back into a
macOS-green / Linux-red test.

* test(#3885): normalize path separators before splicing into the workflow's bash

CI red on one lane — test (windows-latest, 24, shard 3/3). macOS, Linux and the
remote runner were all green.

  AssertionError: commit must name the single REVIEWS.md file; got:
    --files C:UsersRUNNER~1AppDataLocalTempgsd-3352-phasedir-mOKmuy/03-REVIEWS.md

Every backslash in C:\Users\RUNNER~1\AppData\Local\Temp\... was eaten. The
harness spliced an OS-native temp path into the extracted bash, and bash consumes
\U, \A, \L and \T as escapes on an unquoted expansion. The same loss broke
RUN_DIR, so "rm -rf" targeted a path that never existed and the run directory
survived — which is the other two assertions.

This is a fixture defect, not a product one, and that was checked rather than
assumed. In production the phase directory is toPosixPath-normalized at every
call site that serializes it (bin/lib/init.cjs:951, 1381, 1461, 1529, 1595), and
the run directory is created by "mktemp -d" running inside the bash block itself
(gsd-core/workflows/review.md:163), which emits POSIX-style output even under
Git-Bash on Windows. Neither ever carries a backslash where the workflow reads it.

The file's pre-existing #3034 harness splices raw native paths too, but only ever
inside double-quoted assignments, so it never tripped this — my new harness
followed that convention faithfully into the one place where it does not hold.
Both now splice through toPosixPath from shell-command-projection, the
established seam, which is a no-op on POSIX and mirrors what production does.

No assertion was weakened. "commit must name the single REVIEWS.md file" and
"the run dir must still be destroyed" still assert exactly that; only how the
fixture supplies its path changed. Nothing is skipped on Windows — a t.skip()
here would have hidden the question of whether the exposure was real, which is
the question that mattered.

Driven both ways: a synthetic C:\Users\RUNNER~1\... input reproduces the exact CI
string when unfixed and yields C:/Users/RUNNER~1/... when fixed; a POSIX input
produces a byte-identical shape, proving the normalization is idempotent.

* test(#3885): stop the harness making the deleted run dir its own cwd

Windows shard 3/3 stayed red after the separator fix, on two assertions the
separator fix never touched:

  AssertionError: the run dir must still be destroyed
  AssertionError: nothing to preserve is not a failure — run dir must still be removed

The separators were a real bug and fixing them fixed the --files assertion. They
were not this bug, and two CI cycles went into the wrong axis before I stopped
converting path forms and looked at what the harness actually does.

runWriteReviewsFlow passed cwd: runDir to runHook, so the child bash process's
working directory WAS the directory the block under test then removes with
rm -rf "$RUN_DIR". POSIX allows a process to delete its own cwd — verified
locally, cd "$d"; rm -rf "$d" removes it cleanly — and Windows does not: a live
process's working directory cannot be removed. So on Windows the directory
survived and both assertions failed, on macOS and Linux it vanished and they
passed. Nothing to do with slashes.

Harness-only. Production never cd's into the run directory; every reference is by
absolute path, and RUN_DIR is created by mktemp -d inside the bash block itself
(gsd-core/workflows/review.md:165) rather than injected. review.md is unchanged.

Fix: the child now runs with its cwd in an unrelated temp directory that the
block under test never deletes. Neither assertion was weakened, and nothing is
skipped on Windows — the tests in this file carry no platform guard and run
there unconditionally, which is how this surfaced at all.

Honest limit: the Windows failure mode cannot be reproduced on macOS, because
POSIX permits the very thing Windows refuses. The diagnosis is grounded in that
documented divergence and in the fact that only the Windows lane failed, but the
green outcome on windows-latest is unverified until CI runs it.

e20744eacb enhance(#3884): failure is a value — strict argv, and --pick that signals absence (#3922)
* test(#3884): failing-first coverage for strict argv and absence-signalling --pick

ADR-3473 §8.4 says failure is a value. Three families currently encode failure as
success, and this commit pins each one RED before the fix lands.

Measured on this tree, 2026-08-26:

  gsd-tools generate-slug "test" --pick nonexistent
    -> empty stdout, exit 0                                     (#3365)

  gsd-tools audit-open --pick nonexistent_field
    -> dumps the entire human-readable audit report, exit 0

  gsd-tools generate-slug "Hello World" --raw --pick bogus
    -> prints "hello-world", another field's value, exit 0

  gsd-tools query state.planned-phase 3        (positional, no --phase)
    -> exit 0; STATE.md's "Phase: 2 of 5 (Widget Support)" is overwritten to
       "Phase: null - READY TO EXECUTE" and the frontmatter gains a corrupted
       current_phase_name                                        (#3358)

tests/pick-flag.test.cjs:27 previously asserted the #3365 defect as the contract
("returns empty string for missing field", success === true). That assertion is
replaced by the required behavior rather than deleted.

The new parseNamedArgs block calls the spec-object signature that does not exist
yet, so it fails today by construction. The 11 existing behavior-lock tests are
left untouched here; they are corrected in the implementation commit.

C1/C4 assert at the consumer's output - STATE.md's bytes - per ADR-3180
Decision 4(b). A unit assertion on the parser would have passed throughout this
defect's life.

* enhance(#3884): failure is a value — strict argv, and --pick that signals absence

Implements ADR-3473 §8.4. Absence, emptiness and failure stop being interchangeable
ways to say "I could not answer".

parseNamedArgs (src/command-arg-projection.cts)
  Takes a spec object with a REQUIRED `positionals: number | 'rest'` and returns the
  hub's Result shape instead of a bare Record. Declaring the positional arity is what
  makes #3358's call site unrepresentable rather than merely detectable: an unrecognized
  flag or a token past the declared boundary is now InvalidArgs, naming the offending
  token and listing the accepted flags. The legacy positional-array call shape throws
  a TypeError — an internal invariant violation per ADR-3473 Decision 2, so a stale
  hand-written .cjs call site fails loudly instead of destructuring undefined off a
  Result. parseNamedArgsOrExit projects a failure onto the caller's error(); it is a
  projection over the one parser, not a second parser.

  Measured before, against a STATE.md with a populated phase-2 block:
    query state.planned-phase 3        (positional, no --phase)
    -> exit 0; "Phase: 2 of 5 (Widget Support)" overwritten to
       "Phase: null - READY TO EXECUTE", frontmatter gains a corrupted
       current_phase_name
  After: exit 1, `unexpected positional argument "3"`, STATE.md byte-identical.
  The flag form is unchanged and still updates STATE.md.

--pick <field> (gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs)
  extractField returns {found,value}, and the pick block no longer shares one catch
  between "output was not JSON" and "field was absent". An absent field exits 1 with
  pick_field_absent, naming the field and the keys that do exist; non-JSON output exits 1
  with pick_output_not_json instead of dumping the command's entire output. A field that
  is PRESENT with value null, '', 0 or false still prints at exit 0 — that is an answer,
  not a failure, and it is what keeps `--pick count` printing 0 on a fresh project.

  Measured before: `audit-open --pick nonexistent_field` printed the whole human-readable
  audit report at exit 0, and `generate-slug X --raw --pick bogus` printed "hello-world" —
  a different field's value, confidently, at exit 0.

  ADR-3409 Decision 7 explicitly deferred this contract fix to #3473; this is it. The
  sub-issue's "returns 0 when the count is zero OR absent" wording is superseded by the
  ADR rule it implements: zero prints 0, absence exits non-zero. Defaulting absence to 0
  would demote "could not answer" to "the answer is zero" — the hazard
  docs/how-to/resolve-unreachable-guard-findings.md already warns against.

Guard ledger (ADR-3473 Decision 6)
  scripts/lint-unreachable-guard-drift.cjs Detector A is RETIRED. Its premise — that a
  `--pick ... || echo` arm can never fire — is now false, so the shape it forbade is the
  correct idiom and keeping it would forbid the fix. Detector B (glob-consuming cat/ls,
  a nullglob mechanism this change does not touch) is retained in full, as are the shared
  scanner, the escape-marker parser and the baseline. Net: -1 detector, 0 added. The file
  is not deleted.

Call-site audit
  45 prompt-layer --pick invocations, every one a plain X=$(...) assignment — none in an
  if test, && chain, or a pipeline whose status is consumed, and no shell block in
  workflows/commands/agents/references sets -e. Of the 13 (command, field) pairs the
  prompt layer reads, 10 are always present; the 3 sometimes-absent ones each sit behind
  a prior found/existence check. No ADR-3409-class "field the command never produces"
  remains.

* fix(#3884): escape untrusted tokens in diagnostics, and cover five unpinned rows

Two review findings, both fixed here rather than recorded as limits.

1. A newline in an untrusted token forged a second stderr line.

   Before, plain-text mode:
     $ gsd-tools query state.planned-phase $'foo\nError: forged second line'
     Error: unexpected positional argument "foo
     Error: forged second line"

   After:
     Error: unexpected positional argument "foo\nError: forged second line"

   --json-errors mode was never affected — io.error runs that payload through
   JSON.stringify. Plain-text mode writes 'Error: ' + message verbatim, and the
   three new InvalidArgs reasons plus the two new --pick diagnostics all
   interpolate a token that comes straight from argv.

   Fixed with ONE shared helper, formatDiagnosticToken (src/io.cts), applied at
   every interpolation site — not a copy per site. It is deliberately NOT
   applied inside error() itself: several callers in this tree emit intentional
   multi-line diagnostics, and escaping newlines there would mangle them.

   The available-top-level-keys list needed the same treatment for a reason the
   review did not anticipate: `frontmatter get <file>` reads an ARBITRARY user
   document and echoes that document's own keys into the diagnostic. Verified
   reachable — a frontmatter key containing a newline reaches the key list — so
   formatKeyForDiagnosticList is guarding a live path, not a hypothetical one.
   Ordinary keys still render plain and unquoted; a fix that merely dropped the
   key would also have passed a "one line" assertion, so the test pins the
   escaped key's presence too.

2. Five behavior-table rows were implemented but nothing pinned them:
   B7  a dotted path that dies partway
   B9  bracket syntax on a non-array
   B10 a negative array index, in and out of range
   B14 a JSON root that is not an object
   B17 an @file: payload over 50KB

   B17 is the load-bearing one. output() writes @file:<path> instead of inline
   JSON past 50000 characters, and --pick resolves that BEFORE parsing; with no
   test, a future reordering of those two steps turns every large result into a
   false pick_output_not_json. The fixture seeds 1200 phase directories and
   measures the payload at 62474 characters, asserting the spill actually
   happened rather than assuming it.

* fix(#3884): correct the strict-argv surface against a full verification run

The first full run came back with 90 failures across 12 files, none in the new
tests. They were the argv surface telling me what it actually is. Ten root
causes; each classified before anything was changed.

I over-implemented, and that is reverted.

  ADR-3473 §8.4 says parseNamedArgs rejects "unrecognized and positional
  tokens". It says nothing about a value flag whose value is missing. Making
  that an error was my design decision, not the rule, and it broke a
  deliberately recorded contract: `--prd` with no value resolving to null
  (tests/init.test.cjs emptyPrdValueIsFalsyAndTreatedAsAbsent, row B5;
  tests/section-manifest-init-facts.test.cjs "flag-shaped value"). The
  "requires a value" branch is deleted outright rather than kept behind an
  option — an unused strictness mode is speculative generality. Unknown-flag
  and unexpected-positional rejection, which is what §8.4 actually mandates,
  is unchanged.

--wave needed a third flag kind the original design did not anticipate.

  `--wave N` is documented (commands/gsd/execute-phase.md:4,48) and the
  shipped workflow reconstructs and passes it (execute-phase.md:84), while
  #2932 records token-PRESENCE semantics: the CLI cares only that the flag
  appeared, and the value belongs to the workflow layer. That is neither a
  boolean flag nor a value flag, so `optionalValueFlags` now exists —
  presence-only in `data`, and the validation cursor consumes a following
  non-flag token so it is not reported as a stray positional. Every other
  declared boolean flag was checked against every argument-hint and prose
  usage in commands/, workflows/, agents/ and docs/; `--wave` is the only one
  of this shape.

Five tests were pinning forms that never worked.

  tests/adr857-core-without-capabilities.test.cjs passed
  `init plan-phase --phase 01-stub`, but the documented form is positional
  (docs/CLI-TOOLS.md:776) and the handler reads args[2] — which for that form
  is the literal string "--phase". Measured on the pre-fix build against a
  real .planning/phases/01-stub/ directory:

    init plan-phase 01-stub          -> phase_found=true
    init plan-phase --phase 01-stub  -> phase_found=false

  The test asserted only exit 0 and key presence, so it had been green while
  proving nothing about phase resolution. Corrected to the documented form and
  strengthened to assert phase_found === true. Same class in state.test.cjs
  (`--plan-count`, a flag that does not exist; the real one is `--plans`),
  milestone-archive.test.cjs (`init new-milestone --json`, silently ignored),
  and concurrency-safety.test.cjs (a bare positional field name whose
  OR-assertion passed because a whole-document dump happens to contain the
  substring it looked for).

Six handlers had no argv validation at all — the same #3358 shape this phase
exists to close, found while fixing the rest: init verify-work / phase-op /
review / todos / remove-workspace read args[2] with nothing checking the rest,
and validate health read --repair/--backfill through a bare args.includes()
scan that bypassed the parser entirely. All now go through the seam, so the
flag has one owner.

tests/init-debug.test.cjs rows C4/C5 asserted that an unrecognized flag must
NOT fail. That is the behavior §8.4 removes, and Decision 8 says a caller's
local expectation does not override §8, so they are inverted and renamed —
a test still called "ignores an unrecognized flag" while asserting rejection
would be its own defect. Row C6's point is its PWNED canary; that assertion is
kept verbatim and only its exit-status expectation changed, because the
hostile token is now rejected rather than absorbed.

The blast-radius estimate in 40-design.md is corrected rather than quietly
left wrong. get_impact reported MEDIUM / 8 symbols upstream, and that was
accurate for what the graph can see — parseNamedArgs's callers. It cannot see
that those callers' handlers accept argv shapes wider than the code reading
args[2] suggests, which is where the real surface was.

* fix(#3884): withdraw the validate-health tightening, finish the A2/A3 revert

Second full run: 46 failures, down from 90. Four causes, two of them mine.

Reverted `validate health` entirely — it was scope creep, and it broke a real flag.

  ~30 of the 46 read `unknown flag "--json"; accepted: --repair, --backfill`.
  The previous commit routed `validate health` through the parser on the
  reasoning that a flag should have one owner. That was wrong twice over:
  §8.4 names parseNamedArgs and count queries, and `validate health` was never
  a parseNamedArgs call site — it read its flags, just not through the parser,
  so it had no silent-drop defect to fix. Tightening it omitted `--json`, which
  the health-diagnostic suites use heavily. The handler is now byte-for-behaviour
  back to its pre-branch form. `validate context` stays converted: it genuinely
  was a call site, and its `--json` is now declared rather than read by a second
  `args.includes` scan.

  The five handlers that had NO validation at all — init verify-work / phase-op /
  review / todos / remove-workspace — stay fixed. Those read args[2] with nothing
  checking the rest, which is the #3358 shape this phase owns.

Finished the A2/A3 revert. Three tests still encoded the deleted
"a value flag with a missing value is an error" rule, including one added by the
previous commit for that rule. All three now assert the reverted null contract,
and the ones whose titles said "rejected" are renamed — a test named for a
contract it no longer asserts is its own defect.

`--wave=` and `--wave --weird` are correctly rejected. Neither is documented in
commands/gsd/execute-phase.md, gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase.md or docs/, and
neither is emitted by the shipped prompt layer, so both are unrecognized tokens
that §8.4 mandates rejecting. `doesNotConsumeFollowingFlagAsWaveValue` keeps the
property it exists for — asserted directly now, at the parser, that `--wave` does
not swallow a following flag as its value — and only its exit-status expectation
changed.

A contradiction inside this branch, surfaced by the audit and resolved the safe way.

  Two pre-existing #3573 tests call `state begin-phase '2'` and
  `state planned-phase '2'` with a bare positional, relying on the old permissive
  parser to ignore it. This branch's own #3358 regression test requires that exact
  argv to be REJECTED. The two are mutually exclusive.

  Widening the router to accept a bare positional — mirroring complete-phase —
  would have silently re-opened #3358, and was verified to do exactly that: with
  the widened router, `query state.planned-phase 3` returned exit 0 and wrote
  current_phase_name again. It is reverted. docs/CLI-TOOLS.md:116 and
  docs/COMMANDS.md:2192 document only the `--phase N` form for both verbs, so the
  two #3573 tests move to it. Their assertions were never about the call shape —
  only that total_phases survives the resync — and both still pass.

  complete-phase is untouched: its bare positional IS documented, and it keeps the
  dynamic boundary and the negative-space note that record why.

The audit that produced this is in the PR body: for every handler whose declaration
changed, the flags it reads anywhere in its body, the flags the shipped surface
documents, and the shapes the suite passes, compared. The `--json` miss was a
pattern, not an accident — declaring a handler's flags from its parseNamedArgs call
alone misses whatever it reads elsewhere.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Review findings from the standards, spec and security passes:

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

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

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

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

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

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

* chore(#2790): backfill changeset pr number

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

abf3cf7c25 fix(#3458): scan archived milestone phases, and make [A] Acknowledge actually suppress (#3555)
* fix(#3458): scan archived milestone phases in the four audit-open scanners

`query audit-open` resolved exactly one phase root, `.planning/phases/`. When a
milestone closes its phase directories move to
`.planning/milestones/v<X.Y>-phases/`, so an item still unresolved at that
moment — the `[R]/[A]/[C]` prompt accepts "accept" and "carry forward", not only
"resolve" — became invisible to the v1.1 pre-close audit and every audit after
it. The window in which an unresolved item is visible to this gate was exactly
one milestone wide, and nothing announced when it closed.

Reproduced before fixing, with byte-identical artifacts in the two layouts and
the active layout as the control:

  active   → has_open_items=true   deferred=1  uat_gaps=1  total=2
  archived → has_open_items=false  deferred=0  uat_gaps=0  total=0

`scanDeferredItems`' own doc comment names this as the thing it was built to
prevent — "phase directories archive to `milestones/vX.Y-phases/` (#1871) and
the entry leaves the live tree having never been triaged" — while the
implementation eleven lines below cannot read that path. It catches an entry at
its own milestone close and goes blind at precisely the transition the comment
describes.

This is not cosmetic under-reporting. `auditOpenArtifacts` sums all nine
category counts into `counts.total` and returns `has_open_items: counts.total >
0`, so four blind scanners can flip the gate's headline boolean and let
`/gsd-complete-milestone` assert a clean close it never verified. In a
fully-archived project `.planning/phases/` may not exist at all, and the
scanners' `if (!fs.existsSync(phasesDir)) return []` produced a value
indistinguishable from "nothing is open".

## One enumeration, not four

The four scanners each hand-rolled the same active-only walk. They now share
`listAuditPhaseTargets(planDir, cwd)`, which yields both roots — the shape of
fix epic #3473's B2 asks for, and the reason the fix is one seam rather than
four edits.

Three properties are load-bearing:

  * the ACTIVE enumeration is unchanged — still a raw `readdirSync`, NOT
    `listMilestonePhaseDirs`. These scanners are deliberately not
    milestone-filtered today, and switching would silently add window and
    sentinel filtering: a behavior change belonging to #3372, not here.
  * a missing or unreadable active root skips that half instead of returning
    early. That early return WAS the bug in a fully-archived project.
  * archived dirs are deliberately NOT milestone-filtered, per the comment
    `src/uat.cts` already carries: archived phases belong to past milestones by
    definition, so applying the current-milestone filter discards every one and
    silently reinstates this bug.

Each item now carries `archived_milestone` when it comes from a closed
milestone, matching how the sibling module already labels archived results —
without it an operator triaging `[R]/[A]/[C]` cannot tell a live item from one
carried over. Additive: no existing test or doc asserted an exact key set.

`scripts/lint-phase-enumeration-drift.cjs`'s exemption list for this file drops
from the four scanner names to the single helper, since that is now the only
place the enumeration lives.

## Tests

Written failing-first and confirmed red for the right reason before the fix, all
four driven through the real `audit-open` CLI rather than private functions:
archived-only (was 0/0/0/0 with `has_open_items=false`, now 1/1/1/1 true),
mixed active+archived (was 1/1/1/1 — the archived half dropped — now 2/2/2/2),
active-only unchanged, and an all-resolved archived phase contributing 0.

That last one passed vacuously before the fix, because the archived path was not
reached at all; it was re-verified as genuinely discriminating afterward by
flipping one archived item to unresolved and watching the count rise.

Closes #3458

* fix(#3458): restore the scan_error sentinel and show archive provenance

Adversarial review found one BLOCKER that the previous revision introduced,
which a green remote-runner suite did not catch because nothing in the tree
asserts `scan_error` at all.

## The regression

Consolidating four hand-rolled walks into `listAuditPhaseTargets` swallowed the
active-root `readdirSync` throw in a bare `catch {}`. Pre-fix each scanner
returned `[{scan_error: true, …}]`; after, each returned `[]`. Measured with
`.planning/phases` created as a FILE (so `existsSync` passes and `readdirSync`
throws ENOTDIR):

  before this fix: uat_gaps/verification_gaps/context_questions/deferred_items
                   each `[{"scan_error":true,…}]`
  the regression:  each `[]`

`complete-milestone.md` re-runs `audit-open --json` and reads those counts, so a
machine consumer could no longer tell "I/O failed" from "verified clean" — the
exact conflation this issue exists to remove, reintroduced on the failure path.
`listAuditPhaseTargets` now reports `activeUnreadable` and each scanner pushes
the sentinel shape recovered verbatim from `origin/next`, not reinvented.

The docstring claiming the active enumeration was "UNCHANGED" was false while
that sentinel was missing, and is corrected to state what is actually preserved.

An unreadable ARCHIVED root deliberately gets NO sentinel: there was no archived
read before, so there is no consumer contract to preserve, and adding one would
conflate the ordinary "no milestones archived yet" state with a real I/O failure.

## The operator could not see the archive

`formatAuditReport` is the surface the gate actually shows a human —
`complete-milestone.md` runs it without `--json` — and it never rendered
`archived_milestone`. With `01-alpha` in both roots the identical line printed
twice with nothing to tell them apart, and `[R] Resolve` sends the operator to
`.planning/phases/01-alpha/` where the archived one does not exist. Phase
numbering restarts at `01` after each archive, so that collision is the common
case, not an edge case. All four loops now render ` (archived vX.Y)`; active
lines stay byte-identical.

## Archived milestones sorted wrong

`getArchivedPhaseDirs` ordered milestones with `.sort().reverse()` —
lexicographic, so `v1.9` outranked `v1.10`. Measured order for v1.0/v1.9/v1.10
was `v1.9, v1.10, v1.0`. Now a numeric-segment descending compare. Pre-existing,
but this change is what first surfaces it in audit output.

## Tests

The blocker's regression test fails against the previous revision. Added:
`archived_milestone` present on archived items and absent (not `undefined`) on
active ones; the unreadable-active-root sentinel across all four categories; an
unreadable archived root still leaving the active half scanned; the
duplicate-name case producing two distinct entries that the human report
distinguishes; and the v1.10-before-v1.9 ordering.

`docs/COMMANDS.md` documents the archived scanning and the new field.

* fix(#3458): stop filesystem names forging lines in the audit report

Found by the security review of this branch. Pre-existing on `next`, fixed here
because it defeats the exact gate this PR is hardening.

`audit-open`'s human report is the surface `/gsd-complete-milestone` shows an
operator to decide whether a milestone may close. A `.planning/` tree authored
by someone other than that operator — a cloned repo — could contain a directory
literally named:

    zz<newline>0 open items require decisions.<newline><ESC>[2K<ESC>[1G FORGED

and the report printed `0 open items require decisions.` as its own line, with
raw ESC bytes reaching stdout able to erase or overwrite the lines above it.
Reproduced against the real CLI before fixing, and again after.

## Why not just harden sanitizeForDisplay

Because that helper's contract is multi-line prose — it removes protocol-leak
lines while deliberately preserving the newlines between legitimate ones, which
`tests/security.test.cjs` pins. Stripping CR/LF there would have broken a
correct test to paper over a different problem.

The two jobs are genuinely different, so there are now two helpers. New
`sanitizeLabel` (`src/security.cts`) is for values that are semantically ONE
LINE and derived from a filesystem NAME. It ESCAPES rather than strips C0
(including ESC/CR/LF), DEL and C1, so a doctored name renders visibly as
`\n` / `\x1b` instead of being silently normalized — the report stays honest
about what is in the tree. Ordinary input passes through byte-identical.

## Nine sites, not four

The first pass covered the four phase-scoped scanners. A sweep of the rest of
the file found the identical class in five more — `scanDebugSessions`,
`scanQuickTasks`, `scanThreads`, `scanTodos`, `scanSeeds` — emitting
name-derived `slug` / `filename` / `seed_id` through the prose sanitizer.
`scanQuickTasks`' `date` had no sanitization call at all.

Every emitted field in the file is now classified and the sweep recorded:
`slug`, `filename`, `seed_id`, `phase`, `file`, `archived_milestone`, `date` are
name-derived and take `sanitizeLabel`; `hypothesis`, `status`, `updated`,
`title`, `priority`, `area`, `summary`, `questions[]` and deferred-item `text`
are content and keep `sanitizeForDisplay`. No name-derived value reaches output
unsanitized.

`--json` was already safe — JSON string encoding escapes control characters, and
a crafted name cannot break out of the string. Verified rather than assumed.

* chore(#3458): backfill changeset pr number

* test(#3458): skip control-character fixtures where the OS forbids the name

CI red on `test (windows-latest, 24, shard 1/3)`: the four forgery-rejection
tests build directories whose names embed a newline and ESC, and NTFS forbids
control characters in path components, so `mkdir` threw ENOENT.

The remote runner is Linux-only, so it could not have caught this class.

Semantically the skip is honest rather than a workaround: on Windows the
directory-name forgery vector does not exist, because the OS refuses to create
the name. The sanitizer's own behavior stays covered there by the
`sanitizeLabel` unit tests, which are pure string tests with no filesystem
calls — verified.

Uses the repo's established capability-probe convention
(`tests/adr-index-gate.test.cjs`'s `trySymlink`), which `t.skip()`s on the real
errno rather than branching on `process.platform`, and whose comment gives the
reason: a bare `return` "would silently report a PASS ... and hide the gap this
guard exists to close". A skipped test is visibly skipped.

Swept every test added on this branch for names Windows would reject or POSIX
path assumptions; these four were the only ones.

* feat(#3458): make [A] Acknowledge actually suppress, without overwriting a verdict

Making archived phases visible exposed the other half of the problem: an item
unresolved at a milestone close now resurfaces at every later close forever,
because `[A] Acknowledge` wrote a prose block to STATE.md that
`auditOpenArtifacts` never reads. `verified_closeout` became unreachable and the
gate degraded to a mandatory `[A]` every time.

## The prompt does not change

`[A] Acknowledge all` already promises "document as deferred and proceed with
close". It documented but never deferred. This makes `[A]` do what it says.
`[R]` and `[C]` stay abort paths. No "carry forward" option is invented — an
item that is not acknowledged simply keeps surfacing, which is the default.

## The marker lives inside the artifact

Not a ledger. The audit mints no ids and has no stable identity — `phase` is a
token that collides across directories, `file` for deferred items is a constant,
and identity otherwise degrades to the item's own prose after a lossy sanitizer.
Any ledger must re-derive that key every close, so a reworded item silently
un-suppresses or, worse, mis-suppresses a different one. Storing the
acknowledgment next to the thing it suppresses makes that class of bug
structurally impossible, and it is the pattern `src/uat.cts` already argues for
with `deferred-items.md`'s in-place `status: resolved`.

## The marker is verdict-preserving and self-invalidating

`status:` is never overwritten — writing `resolved` into an unresolved UAT would
be a lie in the artifact of record, and the disclosure has to be additive.

    audit_acknowledged:
      milestone: v1.0
      at: 2026-08-15
      status: gaps_found      # snapshot of what was true when acknowledged

Suppression applies ONLY while the snapshot still matches reality: `status` for
seven categories, `question_count` for context questions, and for deferred items
a new per-entry `status: acknowledged` distinct from `resolved`, which keeps
meaning "actually fixed". Change the artifact and the acknowledgment stops
applying, so the item comes back on its own.

That is what makes re-opening answer itself with no extra state, and it fails in
the safe direction: a stale acknowledgment can never hide a NEW problem. A
malformed marker is treated as absent — a bad marker must never silence an item.

The check is ONE shared `isAuditItemAcknowledged`, not nine copies. This file has
already been through that defect family twice in this PR.

## Observable, not silent

`audit-open --json` now reports an `acknowledged` count beside `counts`, so a
reviewer can tell a close that is clean because things were fixed from one that
is clean because things were silenced.

## Writer

New `audit-open acknowledge` verb snapshots current state itself, so the marker
is never hand-authored from workflow prose — the gap that left the STATE.md
block with no writer, no schema and two conflicting formats. Writes route
through the existing path-confinement seam.

## Two deliberate limits, failing closed

Heading-delimited deferred entries (#3457) are REFUSED with
`unsupported_heading_shape` rather than edited, because mapping a heading entry
back to its exact source span is not safely derivable when headless and heading
entries interleave in one file. A loud refusal beats a mis-targeted write.

A quick task with no summary gets one created to carry the marker, since there
is otherwise nowhere to put it.

## Tests

Self-invalidation is the important one and is covered per category: acknowledge,
then change the status or question count, and the item resurfaces. Also
malformed markers not suppressing, `status:` byte-unchanged after acknowledging,
the writer refusing a path outside the project, and the four original #3458
scenarios unchanged.

Closes #3458

* feat(#3458): wire [A] to the acknowledge verb and converge the disclosure table

Consumer side of the suppression seam.

## The workflow stops hand-authoring the mechanism

`[A]` now calls `audit-open acknowledge` once per open item, then writes the
STATE.md `## Deferred Items` table as before. The table stays as a
human-readable disclosure; it is no longer the mechanism. That closes the gap
where the block had no writer, no schema and no reader — the marker is now
written by the tool, which snapshots current state itself.

The `[R]` / `[A]` / `[C]` prompt is unchanged, `[C]` still means "Cancel — exit
without closing", and no carry-forward option is invented.

The all-clear branch now distinguishes a close that is clean because items were
FIXED from one that is clean because they were ACKNOWLEDGED, using the
`acknowledged.total` count, and carries that into the MILESTONES.md disclosure
line beside the existing override count. A clean close that was bought with
acknowledgments should say so.

## Format drift resolved

Two incompatible `## Deferred Items` shapes shipped simultaneously — 3 columns
in the workflow, 4 in the template, with different body lines. Converged on one
5-column shape carrying the source Milestone, since archived items now appear
and the archived-milestone disambiguator was previously discarded at write time.
The workflow enumerates the categories instead of trailing off in `...`.

## Ack fragment bookkeeping

`complete-milestone.md` grows 6,764 bytes (31,228 → 37,992; cap 61,440), covered
by a new `tests/emitted-drift-acks/3458-*.json`.

`2962-zsh-nomatch-for-glob-portability.json`'s `complete-milestone.md` entry is
REMOVED — the no-duplicate-path rule hard-blocks two sources naming one path.
That entry is spent: the nullglob shim it acknowledges is present in both
`origin/next` and the CI emitted baseline `fd2b97a5`, so its ripple is already
absorbed and it can never clear anything again — verified directly, not assumed,
and the gate's own message directs deleting spent entries. Its other three files'
entries are untouched.

`scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs` wanted to rewrite `explore.md` as well —
pre-existing drift unrelated to this change, reverted. `complete-milestone.md`
still carries exactly one canonical preamble.

Docs cover the verb's real flag surface, the marker's verdict-preserving and
self-invalidating behavior, and the new `acknowledged` count. A second `Added`
changeset covers the verb, since the existing `Fixed` fragment describes only
the archived-phase scanning.

Closes #3458

* fix(#3458): close three blockers in the acknowledgment seam

Adversarial review of the seam. Three BLOCKERs, one of which disproves a safety
claim I published in the PR body, the changeset and the docs.

## The claim was false; the code is fixed rather than the claim softened

I wrote that "a stale acknowledgment can never hide a NEW problem". It could.
`context_questions` snapshotted only the question COUNT, so replacing two
acknowledged questions with two brand-new blockers kept the item suppressed.
`uat_gaps` snapshotted only `status`, so adding five more pending scenarios
(`open_scenario_count` 1→6) kept it suppressed.

The snapshot now identifies CONTENT, not size: a digest of the whole question
set, and a status + open-scenario-count composite. Any edit invalidates. The
other seven categories were checked and their single tracked dimension is
already the whole story. Both disproofs now resurface the item.

## Writing to the wrong line, and reporting success

`acknowledgeDeferredItem` built an unanchored regex and exec'd it over the whole
file while match-selection and the ambiguity guard ran over the section body
only, so the write landed at the first match ANYWHERE. A file with `# Notes`
holding `- Fix the parser` above a `## Deferred Items` section holding the same
bullet: the CLI exited 0 saying `acknowledged: true`, injected `status:
acknowledged` under `# Notes`, and re-audit still reported the entry open. It
corrupted unrelated content, suppressed nothing, and claimed success — and since
`--file` is unconstrained the same path could inject into a UAT or VERIFICATION
body.

Matching is now anchored to the selected section, and the matched span is
re-verified against the selected entry before any write; a mismatch refuses with
`match_verification_failed` rather than writing.

## Acknowledging todos hid the ones never shown

`scanTodos` capped at five files and then checked acknowledgment. With seven
todos, acknowledging the five that were LISTED drove `todos: 0`,
`has_open_items: false`, and items six and seven never appeared in any later
scan. The workflow's own "repeat until no todos items" remedy terminates after
one pass. Pre-feature this was unreachable because the count was pinned at five.

That is silent over-suppression — the exact direction this PR exists to remove.
Acknowledged items are now filtered BEFORE the display cap, so unacknowledged
todos beyond it still drive the count.

## The [A] branch could not fail closed

Every acknowledge call sat in a `cmd | while read` pipeline with no status
accumulation, so any refusal was discarded and the close proceeded as
`override_closeout`. Separately, `io.output` swaps payloads over 50000 chars for
an `@file:<path>` sentinel — every `jq` would then fail, every loop body run
zero times, nothing be suppressed, and the close happen anyway.

Both closed: failures accumulate across all invocations and halt before close,
and the sentinel is dereferenced using the same pattern `verify_readiness`
already uses for `INIT_MANAGER`. Quoting was verified sound by the review and is
left alone.

## Also

Suppression is now visible in the human report, not only `--json` — the
"clean because fixed vs clean because silenced" distinction was promised for the
surface an operator actually reads.

The CRLF-preservation branches in the writer were dead: every `.md` write goes
through `_normalizeMd`, which normalizes line endings and blank lines whatever
the writer does. Deleted and documented rather than left as code that cannot run.

## Why these shipped

The review named it exactly: there was no coverage for
`unsupported_heading_shape`, `ambiguous`, `not_found`, duplicate-text
mis-targeting, todos beyond the cap, or CRLF. All are now tested, alongside both
snapshot disproofs and the mixed-section fixture.

* test(#3458): align the items-open footer wording with its assertion

Remote runner red on one test: the items-open footer must match
`/previously acknowledged item/i`.

The disclosure was NOT missing — the items-open branch already printed
"N additional items previously acknowledged and still suppressed." The word
order simply did not match the regex the test in the same change asserts. A
wording mismatch between my own test and my own implementation, not a behavior
gap.

Reworded to "N previously acknowledged items also suppressed above the M open
items", which satisfies the assertion and states the relationship between the
two counts more plainly than the original did.

Swept `formatAuditReport` for other branches that could skip the tally: the only
early return is the all-clear path, which already discloses it. `scan_error`
sentinels are filtered per category and excluded from `counts.total`, so an
all-error project falls through to that same branch. No inconsistency remains.

* fix(#3458): splice by carried span, digest the untruncated question set

Security review of the writer. Both findings are the same shape, and both are
cases where an earlier fix of mine was incomplete in the same direction: a value
derived for DISPLAY was reused for an IDENTITY or LOCATION decision.

## Writing to the wrong entry, again

The previous fix anchored matching to the `## Deferred Items` SECTION but still
re-found the entry inside it with an unanchored regex, so the write landed at
the first SUBSTRING occurrence rather than the entry's own span. The
`match_verification_failed` guard could not catch it, because the mis-targeted
span is byte-identical to the target.

Probe-confirmed, in a cloned repo's own artifact:

    - CRITICAL unfixed auth bypass
      see also: - minor typo
    - minor typo

Acknowledging "minor typo" appended `status: acknowledged` into the CRITICAL
entry, suppressing it at every future close, while the typo stayed open — exit
0, `"acknowledged": true`. A variant where the target text appears inside
unrelated prose split that line mid-sentence, acknowledged nothing, and still
exited 0, so the workflow's `ACK_FAILURES` halt never fired.

Fixed structurally rather than with a better regex: `splitGapsEntriesWithSpans`
carries each entry's own character span out of the splitter, and the write
splices by that recorded span. The location is already known at selection time —
re-deriving it by searching was the entire defect class. Added as a sibling so
`splitGapsEntries`' three existing callers are untouched. With index-splicing,
`match_verification_failed` becomes a genuine independent cross-check instead of
a guard that could never fire.

## The digest was blind past the third question

`deriveOpenQuestions` truncated to three questions, and clamped each to 200
chars, BEFORE the digest hashed it — so the snapshot could not see the fourth
and later. Ship three innocuous questions, acknowledge, then add real blockers,
and they are permanently invisible: measured `open=0, acknowledged=1`, report
"All artifact types clear."

That is the same self-invalidation property this digest was added to guarantee
one revision ago. The digest now covers the untruncated list; truncation is
display-only.

Found while fixing it: the previous digest joined on a literal raw NUL byte
embedded in the source — collisions are constructible, and reachable through
attacker-controlled YAML `\x00` escapes. Verified both ways. Replaced with a
length-prefixed encoding so no two question sets can collide by concatenation.

## Sweep

Because this is the third incomplete fix on this seam, every identity and
location derivation was swept for the display-vs-identity confusion: uat_gaps
uses status plus a full-content count, the other seven categories use a scalar
status or presence, the deferred `--text` identity is never truncated, and all
five flat categories resolve their file by path rather than by content search.
No further instances.

Closes #3458

* test(#3458): correct two assertions that over-reached the measured behavior

Remote runner red on two of the F1 tests. The source is correct — reproduced
both fixtures against the built CLI — and both failures were bugs in the
assertions I wrote. `src/` is untouched by this commit.

The first is worth recording. It computed the CRITICAL entry's block as

    content.slice(content.indexOf('- CRITICAL'), content.indexOf('- minor typo'))

and `indexOf` found the FIRST SUBSTRING occurrence, which lives inside that
entry's own continuation line `  see also: - minor typo`. The block was
truncated mid-line, so the assertion could never match. The test committed the
exact first-substring-match mistake it exists to catch, one revision after that
mistake was fixed in the source.

The second asserted `deferred_items === 0` after acknowledging the typo entry,
but the decoy `- Note: reference - minor typo elsewhere, ignore` is itself an
open entry and was never acknowledged, so the correct count is 1. It now also
asserts WHICH item remains open — that is what actually proves the right entry
was suppressed, and the original assertion would have passed even if both had
been silenced.

Both now derive their expectations from measured CLI output. A comment records
that the write seam normalizes markdown (`_normalizeMd` inserts a blank line
before a list item following a non-list line) so the inserted line is not later
mistaken for a regression; that is repo-wide behavior for every `.md` write
through the single write projection, not something this change should diverge
from.

Root cause of both: the previous two dispatches verified behavior with direct
CLI probes but never executed the test file, so assertions could over-reach what
had actually been measured. Every other assertion added in those two commits has
since been re-derived from real output; no further mismatches.

7a02f98574 fix(#3493): confine key_links from:/to: to the project directory (#3506)
`cmdVerifyKeyLinks` resolved `from:` and `to:` with `path.join(cwd, <value>)` where the value comes verbatim from plan YAML. `path.join` normalizes `../` rather than rejecting it, so a plan travelling with a repository could name any file the process can read, and the command reports whether the link's `pattern` matched it — an arbitrary-file-read oracle reachable from `verify-phase`.

Both reads now go through `validatePath` in src/security.cts, the existing realpath-based confinement seam already used at 11 call sites. Not a missing capability — a bypassed one.

Two defects in that seam, found by adversarial review and fixed here because they affect all 11 callers:

1. A dangling in-project symlink escaped confinement. A link to an EXISTING outside path was refused (realpath lands outside) while a link to a MISSING outside path took the parent-resolution fallback and was accepted — an existence oracle for arbitrary absolute paths. lstat succeeds on a dangling link and throws ENOENT on a truly absent path; an unresolvable link is now refused. A symlink resolving inside the project is still accepted.

2. A canonicalized base was compared against an uncanonicalized path when a file and its parent were both missing, wrongly refusing legitimate in-project paths on any non-canonical cwd (every macOS temp dir). This was a live regression in this PR: the wave-pending classification (#1202) depends on the not-yet-created case. Resolution now walks up to the nearest existing ancestor.

Two adjacent aborts fixed: the from: read sat outside the per-link try, so a non-ENOENT errno killed the whole command; and an empty from: read the cwd directory, throwing EISDIR. Both now fail per-link.

The issue was filed as a fourth ADR-0174 consolidation loss. It is not one — validatePath/requireSafePath never went away, only the SDK's name for the concept did. This is an instance of epic #3473's F2 family. The ADR-0174 loss count is three.

6dbc124018 enhance(#3180): the sibling validators share one envelope and one owner — Phase 12 (#3407) 2026-08-13 11:31:16 -04:00

8b4545f3c0 feat(#3218): the prompt layer asks the CLI for plan counts (#3327)
* feat(#3218): the prompt layer asks the CLI for plan counts

Seven sites across four workflows counted plans with ls and wc -l instead of
asking the CLI. A shell glob is not scanPhasePlans, so every fix that landed on
the owner missed all seven: they counted superseded plans as live, reported zero
for the nested plans layout, and missed loosely-named files. The 1762 figure of
30 plans and 24 summaries came from here.

phase find is extended rather than a verb added - 3218 is an enhancement whose
own checklist says it adds no new command, and CONTRIBUTING makes a new verb a
feature needing approved-feature. It gains plan_count and summary_count for the
live set and plan_count_all for the physical one, additively; the existing arrays
are untouched.

Both sets are exposed because the sites need different ones. Amendment 1 names
two cases; three of these sites ask a third - did the planner write files to disk
- and take the physical set, because a superseded plan is still a file the
planner wrote.

The progress.md dead route is fixed and was worse than the issue said. It read
.plans and .summaries arrays that roadmap.analyze has never emitted, so the
fallback always fired, both counts were always zero, and Route 0's
resume-incomplete-phase check had never fired at all.

The ratchet baseline is empty. Its own stale-entry check makes that
self-enforcing.

Verified on the remote runner.

* test(#3218): acknowledge the workflow growth and update the stale guard

The emitted-attribution gate named its own remedy, so it was followed rather
than pre-guessed: four workflow files grew between 200 and 770 bytes because each
replaced a shell glob with a find-phase call plus its jq extraction. plan-phase
grew most - two sites, and it takes the physical count for its did-the-planner-
write-files question. progress also carries the Route 0 dead-path fix.

plan-phase-drift-guard asserted the literal old ls shape. Updated rather than
deleted: what it protects is that a filesystem fallback exists and is reachable,
and that is intact. It is not a regression - gsd_run is already load-bearing
throughout plan-phase.md long before step 9, so the 9a and 11a fallback never
existed to survive gsd_run being unavailable; it guards against the planner
subagent's return hanging.

Three ack sources collided with the new fragment, which the gate treats as a hard
error rather than last-wins. Only the three colliding keys were removed, not the
421 spent entries, and two fragments left entryless were deleted per the
convention that an empty fragment signals nothing.

Verified on the remote runner.

* docs(#3218): document the live and physical plan counts

docs/CLI-TOOLS.md gains a find-phase counts section covering plan_count and
summary_count for the live set against plan_count_all for the physical one, plus
the null-not-zero not-found behavior. The live-versus-physical distinction is
spelled out because a caller picking the wrong one gets a plausible number, which
is the trap Amendment 1 records.

Changeset leads with what a user sees: progress and execute-plan stop counting
superseded plans as outstanding, a nested plans layout stops reporting zero, and
Route 0 resume routing starts working after never having worked.

No how-to. Nothing is enabled and nothing is sequenced - the user runs the same
command and the number is simply correct. The one new distinction is field
semantics, which is what a reference entry is for.

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.

a5706bd39d enhance(#2596): validate a wave branch's committed diff stays in its declared scope (#3264)
* test(#2596): failing-first suite for worktree-wave scope conformance

Binds the advisory diff-vs-declared-scope check to behavior before it exists:
the pure coverage predicate, the SUMMARY-artifact exemption and its parity with
the rescue walker, the gauntlet integration (never flips ok, degrades on a git
failure, survives a later block), the manifest normalizer's files_modified
handling, and the --files negative-input matrix on record-agent/create.

Refs #2596

* enhance(#2596): warn when a wave branch commits outside its declared scope

The worktree-wave merge gauntlet validated branch, base, deletions, SUMMARY
rescue and a clean worktree, but never compared a plan branch's actual
committed diff against the files_modified the plan declared — so an executor
that committed outside its brief merged into shared phase state silently.

Adds an advisory scope-conformance check: when the manifest entry carries a
declared scope, the gauntlet diffs HEAD...<branch> and appends one structured
warning per path outside it. It never flips ok and never blocks the merge;
promotion to a hard gate is a separate, disclosed change. With no declared
scope no git subprocess is spent at all.

Refs #2596

* docs(#2596): document the advisory worktree-wave scope-conformance check

Records the optional --files flag on worktree record-agent/create, the
advisory warnings channel cleanup-wave now emits, and its two deliberate
noise limits (SUMMARY-artifact exemption, literal-prefix glob matching).
Wires execute-phase to pass the plan's already-parsed PLAN_FILES.

Refs #2596

* fix(#2596): close review findings on the scope-conformance advisory

- share one path normalizer between the SUMMARY-artifact predicate and the
  scope comparison so the exemption and the check cannot drift
- wire --files into the orchestrator-worktree dispatch, which created a
  worktree but never declared its scope, so the advisory silently did not
  apply on that backend; ADR-1239 requires both adapters share one check
- correct the now-false blockquote claiming the check does not exist yet
- add the fast-check property tests the repo requires for parser logic
- add the record-agent/create parity test that Generative Fix Divergence
  requires for two surfaces implementing one rule

Refs #2596

* fix(#2596): keep execute-phase.md under the frozen pre-phase-6 byte ceiling

The one-sentence note added with the --files flag pushed execute-phase.md to
93708 bytes, past the ADR-857 PRE_PHASE6 cap of 93600 — the tightest of the
three workflow size gates, and a hard cap an acknowledgment cannot clear. It
failed three tests plus the differential attribution check.

Condense the note to a one-line pointer (93543, 57 B of headroom); the full
explanation already lives in docs/CLI-TOOLS.md and the dispatch step. The flag
itself stays in the command, because the orchestrator reads this workflow at
runtime and cannot pick it up from docs/.

Acknowledge the remaining 143 B of growth by appending to the existing
execute-phase.md fragment rather than adding a second one — the ack lint
rejects two sources naming the same path.

Refs #2596

* fix(#2596): make the execute-phase.md edit net-negative, not merely under the cap

The size gate on this file is two assertions, not one: bytes < 93600 AND
bytes <= 93400. The base is exactly 93400, so the file is at its budget and
any growth trips the margin assertion — the previous fix cleared the ceiling
but not that.

Move the --files explanation to per-plan-worktree-gate.md, which already owns
PLAN_FILES and carries no cap, and reclaim the rest from two clauses in the
sentence being edited: the cleanup-wave rules phrasing, and a 'non-zero exit'
the very next sentence already states. execute-phase.md ends at 93392, eight
bytes below base. The flag itself stays in the command — the orchestrator
reads this workflow at runtime and cannot pick it up from docs/.

With no growth left, the acknowledgment is unnecessary and its byte delta was
no longer true, so the shared ack fragment is restored byte-identical to base.

Refs #2596

* docs(#2596): add the how-to for interpreting scope-conformance warnings

The docs for this change were entirely Reference — the flag and the warning
codes — with the task-oriented quadrant empty. Adds the page that answers the
question an operator actually has when the advisory fires: what the two codes
mean, that nothing is blocked so there is no failure to hunt for, how to tell
whether the executor over-reached or the plan under-declared, and the three
ways the check legitimately stays silent so an absence of warnings is not
mistaken for proof of conformance.

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.

* chore(#3216): set changeset fragment pr to 3226

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
fourth bespoke regex; additive, so it can only admit directories.

* refactor(#3185): route the last two enumeration re-derivations

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

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.

* 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.

scripts/lib/ ships in the npm package and installer, so extracting the shared

The two drift guards themselves do not ship (scripts/lint-*.cjs is excluded),

* 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.

481ac7c71b fix(#2946): run milestone complete unstarted-phase guard independent of STATE (#3081)
* test(#2946): milestone complete unstarted-phase guard fails open on STATE desync

Row 1 of the test matrix: the regression test that fails first. Adds seven
cases to tests/milestone.test.cjs covering the desync, absent, no-file,
--force-override, mismatch-WARNING, fresh-project-noop, and sentinel-skip
behaviors. RED on next: the guard's entire scan is nested inside
`if (stateVersion && stateVersion === version)`, so any STATE.md milestone:
value that does not exactly equal the version argument skips the scan with
no warning — functionally an implicit --force on a one-way-door operation.

* fix(#2946): run milestone complete unstarted-phase guard independent of STATE

The entire ROADMAP phase-directory scan was nested inside
`if (stateVersion && stateVersion === version)`, so any STATE.md milestone:
value that did not exactly string-equal the version argument — a desynced
value, or no milestone: field at all — skipped the scan with no warning,
functionally an implicit --force. The operation the guard fronts is a one-way
door: ROADMAP.md and REQUIREMENTS.md are archived and phase directories are
MOVED into .planning/milestones/<version>-phases/.

The scan was already driven by the version argument through
getMilestonePhaseFilter / extractCurrentMilestone; the STATE match was a
redundant second gate that shadowed and broke it. Decouple: the scan now runs
whenever --force is absent, and a present-but-mismatched STATE milestone:
field emits a WARNING naming both values so the suspicious condition is
visible rather than silent. A fresh project with no Phase headings in the
scoped slice still yields an empty scan (no false positives) — the intent the
STATE-match short-circuit was reaching for, now achieved by the scan itself.

* docs(#2946): document milestone complete --force, --dry-run, and the unstarted-phase guard

The CLI-TOOLS reference signature omitted --force and --dry-run entirely,
and neither the unstarted-phase guard nor its override was documented
anywhere user-facing. Add a flags table and a factual guard description
to the Reference page (CLI-TOOLS.md), and a practical guard note to the
/gsd-complete-milestone How-to (COMMANDS.md) covering what to do when
the guard fires and the new STATE-mismatch WARNING (#2946).

American English per CONTRIBUTING.md language policy.

* fix(#2946): emit STATE-mismatch WARNING as JSON in --json-errors mode

Follow-up to the guard decoupling: a structured caller using --json-errors
parses stderr line-by-line as JSON, so the plain-text WARNING would break
such a parser. Honor getJsonErrorMode() and emit a structured JSON object
({ ok, level, message }) in that mode, plain text otherwise — mirroring
io.cts error()'s JSON shape. Addresses the isolated-review observation
(~45% but credible, since --json-errors is a documented CLI flag).

* fix(#2946): address review — drop JSON-mode WARNING scope creep, tighten test assertions

Standards + spec review findings (code-review two-axis + isolated adversarial):

1. The --json-errors JSON WARNING branch (commit dee719404) was scope creep
   the issue never asked for, AND emitted ok:true for a suspicious-condition
   warning (a category error — a stderr JSON parser keying on ok would treat
   the suspicious state as success), AND its comment falsely claimed to mirror
   io.cts error()'s {ok:false,reason,message} shape. Dropped: the WARNING is
   now plain-text stderr only, matching the existing [gsd-tools] WARNING
   convention (state.cts). The issue asked for 'at minimum warn', not a
   structured JSON surface.

2. The WARNING test asserted on /WARNING/ regex (raw-text matching on stderr
   prose). Tightened to assert on the stable operator-facing tokens — the
   WARNING: marker and both version literals the operator must see — not the
   surrounding formatter prose. Added a paired negative test confirming no
   WARNING is emitted for an absent milestone: field (a missing declaration
   is a normal fresh-project state, not suspicious drift).

* fix(#2946): sanitize STATE milestone value before stderr WARNING interpolation

Security review (minor): stateVersion is read from a user-controlled file
(STATE.md) and is not validated like the CLI version arg. Sanitize before
interpolating into the WARNING — strip ANSI/control chars
(/[\x00-\x1f\x7f]/g -> '?') and truncate to 80 chars — so a corrupted or
hostile STATE.md cannot echo terminal escapes or secret-looking strings
verbatim into a CI log or terminal aggregator (CONTRIBUTING.md security:
secret-looking values in stderr). version is already constrained to
[A-Za-z0-9._-] by ARCHIVE_VERSION_LABEL_RE upstream, so it needs no
sanitization.

* test(#2946): correct stale fixtures that relied on the guard being silently disabled

Four pre-existing tests broke under the #2946 fix because their fixtures
only passed thanks to the bug — the unstarted-phase guard was skipping on
STATE mismatch, so fixtures with missing or non-matching phase directories
slipped through. The tests exercise version-forwarding / version-scoping,
not the guard, so give them legitimate directories:

- milestone.test.cjs #3043: dirs were '103.old'/'104.old'/'108.new' (dot),
  which phaseTokenMatches rejects — renamed to hyphen form. The v3.6 stats
  scoping still yields 1 phase (getMilestonePhaseFilter scopes correctly);
  the guard now sees all three phases as having directories.
- milestone-archive.test.cjs 'returns version in response data': ROADMAP
  listed Phase 1 but no directory was created. Added 01-foundation so the
  scan is satisfied.

Per CONTRIBUTING.md, test-fixture corrections land as their own test:
commit, not bundled into fix: (release hotfix cherry-pick routes by prefix).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Maintainer decision on a genuine conflict between two contracts.

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

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

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

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

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

* chore(#2994): fragmentize progress.md forensic audit onto the fragment model

Extract the --forensic-gated forensic_audit step to
workflows/progress/steps/forensic-audit.md behind a section marker, and
repair progress.md's init line to forward --forensic so the atom is
actually true in production rather than only under direct CLI tests.

progress.md shrinks 32630 -> 27207 bytes.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize the four manifest-wired workflows

new-project, quick, new-milestone and progress each already had a
dedicated cmdInit* entry point but zero marked sections. Extract nine
gated bodies to workflows/<wf>/steps/ behind section markers and repair
each init line to forward its flags.

Fold --full into the discuss/research/validate facts inside cmdInitQuick
so the when= grammar never sees an OR, per the chunked-mode precedent.

Fixes found while working, per the no-defer rule:
- cmdInitProgress passed no phase info to buildSectionManifestField, so
  state:phase-mvp-mode was permanently false — an atom in the vocabulary
  whose fact could never be computed.
- the quick init router folded flag tokens into the free-text
  description, which the new forwarding would have corrupted.
- a #2508 dispatch note was nested inside quick.md's Agent(prompt=)
  fence, leaking orchestrator guidance into the subagent prompt.
- progress.md had a 3-vs-4 backtick outer-fence imbalance.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize verify-work.md and admit state:ui-phase-active

Wire cmdInitVerifyWork to buildSectionManifestField — it was a dedicated
entry point that never emitted a manifest — and mark two sections.

state:ui-phase-active folds (plan:pre hooks include an active ui step) OR
(the phase dir holds a *-UI-SPEC.md) into one boolean in init.cts, so the
grammar still sees a single operator-free atom. The inner Playwright-MCP
check stays as prose inside the fragment: it is live session state and no
init seam can precompute it.

The MVP false-branch note is a real fallback, not redundant prose, so it
sits outside the marker — gating it away would delete the text needed
precisely when MVP mode is off.

* test(#2994): follow moved workflow content in drift guards

Retarget every guard that asserted on content this branch moved into
workflows/<wf>/steps/, mirroring 815b3d897. Each retargeted assertion was
verified to still fail when its step file is blanked, so none was
weakened into vacuity.

Three assertions in verify-mvp-uat were genuinely red. Three more were
worse than red — passing for the wrong reason:
- quick-commit-boundary and worktree-cleanup anchored on indexOf('Step
  5.6'), which matched a later cross-reference and sliced 16069 chars
  that coincidentally held the asserted substrings. Replaced with an
  expandWorkflowSections helper that splices step content back in place.
- phase6-review-capabilities lost its end boundary and widened to EOF.
- playwright-ui-verify matched 'UI' in an unrelated bullet and 'fall
  back' in a subagent-dispatch line after the real content moved.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize code-review and complete-milestone, admit three atoms

Add dedicated cmdInitCodeReview and cmdInitCompleteMilestone entry points
alongside the shared generic ones rather than modifying them — init.phase-op
and init.manager carry a CRITICAL blast radius (179 dependents, 24
processes) and stay byte-identical for their other callers.

Admit flag:--fix, state:fallow-enabled and state:git-create-tag, each with
a consuming section and a fact its own entry point computes.

Both sections had the resolver-in-body hazard: the fallow config-gate and
the git.create_tag check each sat inside the very block being gated, so
gating would have disabled the resolver that decides the gate. Both are
hoisted into init and the bodies now consume the resolved fact.

* test(#2994): retarget code-review and milestone drift guards, fix two red tests

Retarget guards that asserted on content moved into steps/, proving
non-vacuity by blanking each step file and confirming failure.

Also fixes two genuinely red tests found while working, per the no-defer
rule:
- workflow-fragments' frozen-vocabulary lock was missing
  state:ui-phase-active, so commit 7ef7f8336 shipped red. Lint and build
  both passed over it, which is why neither is sufficient verification.
- code-review's quick.md capability-hook assertion carried a stale
  delimiter after the 18ff35d20 extraction.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize autonomous.md and admit state:plan-strategy-converge

Five sections share one atom, the pattern plan-phase already uses for
flag:--research-phase. The atom folds --converge OR --cross-ai into a
single boolean in cmdInitAutonomous so the grammar stays operator-free.

cmdInitAutonomous is additive; init.milestone-op, init.manager and
init.phase-op are untouched and still consumed. The $PLAN_STRATEGY bash
resolver is deliberately retained — ungated local-planning bullets still
read it, so the init-side fact supplements it rather than replacing it.

converge-fail-fast required splitting one bash fence so the always-run
CONVERGENCE_ARGS construction stays outside the marker. All three
flag-absent fallbacks were left outside their markers.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore(#2994): fragmentize review and discuss-phase-assumptions

Admit state:reviewer-instances-configured (two peripheral notes share it;
the core reviewer-lane dispatch stays unmarked — it is the workflow's
primary always-evaluated logic, not an optional branch) and
state:auto-advance-active, which folds --auto OR two config keys into one
boolean so the grammar stays operator-free.

discuss-phase-assumptions was the highest-risk edit in this PR. Its
auto_advance step is a full if/elif/else; gating it whole would have
deleted the flag-absent fallback needed exactly when --auto is off. Split
verified exact: resolvers 636-651 and the 'End here' fallback 668-669 both
stay outside the marker; only 653-667 is gated.

Adds emitted-drift acks for the two files that grew — review.md (+55 B)
and autonomous.md (+737 B from 80799211c, which had none and would have
red-gated the push.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize docs-update, update, transition and new-milestone Part A

Completes the 13-workflow rollout. Three of these had no init call at all
and gained a dedicated entry point plus their first gsd_run query line.

Admits state:is-monorepo and adds state:next-channel, state:workstream-active
and state:flat-mode. Vocabulary 26 -> 30 atoms.

Part A of new-milestone applies when NO workstream is active — the negation
of state:workstream-active. Rather than teach the grammar negation, which is
the Greenspun drift the frozen list exists to prevent, it gets a separate
positively-phrased atom whose fact is the inverse. Part B, which always runs,
stays outside the marker.

flag:--verify-only is deliberately NOT admitted: docs-update has no
contiguous purely-additive region for it, and an atom without a consuming
section is dead vocabulary. Evidence recorded in the slice report.

update.md reuses its existing resolved $GSD_TOOLS rather than prepending the
canonical preamble, which would have clobbered it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#2994): stop automated-ui-verification re-resolving its own gate, retire dead vocabulary

Two defects the new tests caught.

The automated-ui-verification step re-ran gsd_run loop render-hooks and
recomputed UI_PHASE_ACTIVE inside a body that is only read when that fact
is already true — the circular self-disabling pattern this design forbids,
introduced by 3c654b168. cmdInitVerifyWork now exposes ui_phase_active and
the step consumes it. Its launcher preamble goes too: no gsd_run remains.
The Playwright-MCP check stays as prose — that is live session state.

Dead vocabulary predating this PR: flag:--full and state:needs-codebase-map
were admitted with a gate-1 claim that never materialized. flag:--full is
removed, redundant once quick folds it into discuss/research/validate.
state:needs-codebase-map gets the real consumer it always lacked, gating
new-project's codebase-map offer. Vocabulary 30 -> 29, and no atom is now
without a consuming section.

* test(#2994): add the atom-admission, inversion and resolver-hoist gates

The two existing parity guards prove vocabulary/predicate symmetry but
never that a fact is computed — an atom no cmdInit* assembles evaluates
false forever. These close that hole:

- per-atom satisfiability for all 29 atoms, plus an anti-vacuity assertion
  so the loop cannot silently cover zero atoms
- dead-vocabulary check against the shipped manifest
- inversion guard: the flag-absent fallbacks in discuss-phase-assumptions
  and verify-work must stay outside their markers
- data-driven resolver-hoist guard over the shipped manifest, so a future
  extraction cannot reintroduce the circular class
- compound-fold coverage (--full, --cross-ai, --rc, config-only --auto)
- null-vs-[] degraded/computed distinction, and flag value shapes

Also repairs the frozen-vocabulary lock, which was stale and red for the
seven atoms earlier commits on this branch shipped.

* fix(#2994): dedupe the phase-fallback block and harden --ws parsing

Review findings.

MAJOR: the three new init entry points each pasted a verbatim copy of the
guardedFindPhase/guardedGetRoadmapPhase fallback, taking the repo from four
copies to seven — DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX. Extracted applyRoadmapFallback and
folded six of the seven; each call site keeps its own field-set via a
closure. Duplication removed rather than papered over with a parity test.
cmdInitPhaseOp stays out: its fallback omits has_reviews, so it is not a
byte-identical copy, and it is CRITICAL-radius.

LOW, pre-existing: GSD_WS captured [^[:space:]]+ and expands unquoted, so a
workstream name holding glob metacharacters would expand against the
filesystem. Narrowed to [A-Za-z0-9._-]+. The unquoted expansion is kept —
it must word-split into two args and vanish when empty.

Also restores the vocabulary ordering convention, and fixes a masked test
bug the mandated run surfaced: the flag-forwarding guard checked only the
first init line per workflow, but new-milestone has two, so a real failure
was reporting exit 0.

new-milestone.md was acked for a +406 B growth measured against an

* fix(#2994): resolve the 15 failures from the full matrix run

All 15 were real and identical on both lanes.

REAL REGRESSION: autonomous.md hit 41479 chars against the #2196 guard's
40960 cap — a CHARS cap distinct from the LARGE tier byte cap, which the
five section stubs pushed it over. Extracted the 3a.5 UI Design Contract
body to references/; now 39968 chars, and the file nets -795 B vs base, so
its growth ack is deleted rather than left stale.

REAL DEFECT: docs referenced /gsd-transition, which is not a live
registered command. Reworded.

STALE FIXTURE: the emission byte-identity test hardcoded two marked
workflows; this branch legitimately marks fifteen. Fixture corrected — the
source was right.

The rest were drift guards over the eight workflows the earlier sweep did
not cover, retargeted at where the content now lives with non-vacuity
proven by blanking each step file and confirming failure. The GSD_WS
forwarding guard was checked as a possible real break and is not one: the
charclass narrowing is intact and forwarding works end to end.

* fix(#2994): drop the ack for a newly-added reference file

A new file's emitted ripple is attributable to the diff that adds it, so

* fix(#2994): retarget the UI-contract guards and clear two transitive advisories

The §3a.5 extraction that brought autonomous.md under the #2196 char cap
moved its body to references/autonomous-ui-design-contract.md, so ten
guards in autonomous-ui-steps and check-ui-safety-gate were asserting it
against the host. Retargeted via a combined read, each proven non-vacuous
by blanking the reference file and confirming failure.

This class had already bitten twice on this branch because each sweep was
scoped to the workflows touched at that moment, so this one was
exhaustive: ~70 test files across all 13 workflows, zero further broken or
vacuous assertions found.

Also clears two high transitive advisories the matrix flagged on one lane
— fast-uri GHSA-7p8r-x3mc-p8w7 and three ip-address SSRF/trust-boundary
issues. Both pre-date this branch: package-lock.json was untouched until
now, so the production tree was byte-identical to the base. Lockfile-only,
package.json unchanged, verified against a real npm ci install.

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #1671

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

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

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

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

Refs #1671

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

Drives the failing-first matrix green.

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

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

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

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

Refs #1671

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

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

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

Refs #1671

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

7e8f6a6d7d enhance(#2572): run the verify-summary artifact check against phase SUMMARYs (#2685)
* enhance(#2572): run the verify-summary artifact check against phase SUMMARYs (W025)

The artifact<->git check has existed since the beginning but was only ever
pointed at .planning/research/SUMMARY.md (new-project.md:1145,
new-milestone.md:425). Phase summaries -- the ones that actually claim
"I created these files" -- were never checked.

- extract verifySummaryCore from cmdVerifySummary: same checks, lifted out of
  the output() wrapper so callers consume {passed, checks, errors} directly
  instead of shelling out and re-parsing JSON; cmdVerifySummary is now a thin
  adapter over it
- validate.health gains advisory W025 per phase SUMMARY with missing files

Advisory only: appends to warnings[], never touches status escalation beyond
the channel's own warning semantics, the repair set, or readVerificationStatus.

Resolves both open questions from triage: (a) commits_exist is deliberately NOT
surfaced -- its hash pattern matches any hex-shaped token in prose, too loose to
show a user; (b) a phase carries N per-plan summaries plus a legacy bare
SUMMARY.md, so all of them are checked via the repo-wide filter.

* chore(#2572): add changeset fragment

* feat(#2572): move the SUMMARY artifact check to phase completion

Responds to the #2685 review. Three substantive changes.

Seam (Blocker 2). The check now runs in cmdPhaseComplete, the seam the
issue body cited (src/phase.cts:~1745), not validate.health. That channel
does exist: cmdPhaseComplete declares warnings[], populates it from the
UAT/VERIFICATION pre-scan, and emits it. The cycle objection raised
against the earlier deviation holds for state.cts only -- verify.cts has
no transitive import path to phase.cts, so phase.cts -> verify.cjs adds
no cycle (verified over every src/*.cts). Moving it also retires the
retroactive firing across all historical phases: this fires once, at
completion, for the phase being completed.

Extraction (Blocker 1). Pattern 2 now excludes [ and ] from its path
class. The SUMMARY templates prescribe a YAML flow sequence
(key-files.created: [a.ts, b.ts]) and the label matches case-insensitively,
so the class previously captured the literal [ and produced a candidate
that can never exist on disk -- firing on healthy projects built from the
templates GSD itself ships. Stripping frontmatter was the other offered
remedy; measured across all three shipped templates it is a no-op on top
of the exclusion, so it is not carried. Consequence named in-code: the
key-files block still is not read, which needs a real frontmatter parse.

Also narrowed to the noise classes confirmed in review -- globs, bare
hostnames, and paths resolving outside the project are skipped rather
than reported, and the containment guard the old comment claimed now
actually exists.

Budget (Majors 1 and 3). verifySummaryCore takes a checkCommits option;
phase completion passes false, so the discarded git cat-file probes are
not spawned at all. It also passes Infinity, so every referenced file is
reported instead of the first two -- a summary listing twelve files of
which nine are missing now says nine, not zero. The verb keeps its
historical 2-file default.

Tests (Major 2). The vacuous fixtures are gone with the health block.
The replacements use /-bearing paths that genuinely extract, and each
fix was mutation-checked: un-anchoring pattern 2, dropping the glob,
hostname or containment filter, forcing commit checking on, and
re-capping at 2 each fail at least one test.

* docs(#2572): describe the phase-completion SUMMARY artifact check

The W025 text under /gsd-health is withdrawn with the health seam; the
check is documented where it now runs, under `phase complete` in
docs/CLI-TOOLS.md.

Both the docs and the changeset previously overclaimed: they said a
referenced file not on disk is warned about, while at most two candidates
per SUMMARY were ever examined. The cap is gone at this seam, so the
claim now holds -- and the text states the limits that remain, rather
than leaving them to be discovered: the key-files frontmatter block is
not read, commit hashes are not resolved, and globs, URLs, bare
hostnames and out-of-project paths are skipped rather than reported.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

77bf21b3a6 fix(#1995): widen worktree branch regex to accept agent-<id> namespace (#2548)
* test(#1995): regression test for agent-<id> branch namespace

Add failing-first tests proving that normalizeCleanupManifestEntry and
planWorktreeRecordAgent reject Claude Code's current agent-<id> isolation
branches (only worktree-agent-<id> is accepted). Boundary tests cover both
namespaces plus rejection cases.

* fix(#1995): widen worktree branch regex to accept agent-<id> namespace

Claude Code's isolation="worktree" branch naming changed from
worktree-agent-<id> to agent-<id>. Widen the regex in all 7 locations
from ^worktree-agent-[A-Za-z0-9._/-]+$ to ^(worktree-)?agent-[A-Za-z0-9._/-]+$
so both namespaces are accepted. Introduce a shared WORKTREE_AGENT_BRANCH_RE
constant in src/worktree-safety.cts to prevent future drift.

Closes #1995

* fix(#1995): update workflow guards, test assertions, and baselines

Widen the branch-check regex in execute-phase.md and execute-plan.md.
Update all test assertions that checked for ^worktree-agent- to expect
the widened ^(worktree-)?agent- pattern. Regenerate golden-install-parity
fixtures, agent-size-baseline, and workflow-size-baseline.

Closes #1995

* fix(#1995): update extractCwdGuardBash sanity check for widened regex

The e2e test's sanity check verified the extracted bash block contained
'worktree-agent-'. After widening to '(worktree-)?agent-', update the
check to match the new pattern.

* fix(#1995): widen missed workflow-guard branch check + changeset + lint fixes

- hooks/gsd-workflow-guard.js: widen startsWith('worktree-agent-') to
  /^(worktree-)?agent-/ regex — same defect class, was missed in prior commit
- tests/worktree.test.cjs: fix indentation regression from prior edit
- Add .changeset/1995-worktree-agent-branch-namespace.md (pr:0 placeholder)

d49ac81306 chore(#2143): markdown table model + schema registry + fail-loud pilot — Phase 1 (#2248)
* chore(#2143): markdown table model + schema registry + fail-loud pilot — Phase 1

Phase 1 of epic #2143 (ADR-2143): consolidate markdown table parsing onto a
canonical seam and migrate the pilot reader.

- Add src/markdown-table.cts: parseMarkdownTable (GFM tables -> typed
  {columns, rows} addressed by column NAME; ragged rows are typed parse
  errors, not silent), a single-source TABLE_SCHEMAS registry
  (RoadmapProgress / RequirementsTraceability / QuickTasks / Security, with
  variants under one id), matchTableSchema, and findTableBySchema. Result<T>
  is scoped to this seam (distinct from the dispatch Result).
- Migrate deriveProgressFromRoadmap (src/phase-lifecycle.cts) off the
  position-anchored regex to name-based resolution via the seam — fixes #2137
  (the 5-column milestone-grouped Progress table previously returned all-null).
- Add a schema-backed `gsd-tools quick-tasks-append` subcommand and route
  fast.md's log_to_state through it, retiring the inline `awk NF-2` column
  arithmetic — fixes #2133 (addresses #2012, #2119). Cell values are escaped
  (| and newlines) and the STATE.md read-modify-write is atomic under
  readModifyWriteStateMd (lost-update race, cf. #500/#905/#1230).
- Writer/reader/template parity test guards TABLE_SCHEMAS against drift
  (ADR-2143 §3 Generative-Fix-Divergence).

Registration: .gitignore, eslint.config.mjs, docs/INVENTORY.md +
INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json, CONTEXT.md glossary, docs/CLI-TOOLS.md.

Behaviour-preserving for the canonical 4-column Progress table; the named
bugs are driven fail-first. Extend-never-mutate (ADR-2143 §2).

* fix(#2242): read ROADMAP Progress table by column name — supersede #2168 ad-hoc scan

Rebase reconciliation with #2168 (the tactical #2137 fix that marked itself
"pending #2143"). deriveProgressFromRoadmap now resolves the Progress table via
a new seam helper findTableWithColumns (first table whose header is a superset of
Phase/Plans Complete/Status/Completed, any order, extra columns ignored) and reads
cells by NAME — order/injection-invariant per ADR-2143 §3 — instead of the exact
TABLE_SCHEMAS match. This satisfies #2168's column-invariance property test while
staying seam-based and preserving its `## Progress` scoping (#2012/#1445).
Ragged Progress tables now resolve to null (ADR-2143 fail-loud); updated the stale
state.test.cjs assertion that predated the Phase-1 migration.

e5ef323b15 feat(#1787): add /gsd:next smart entry workflow (#1798)
* docs: design spec for /gsd smart-entry command

Hybrid approach porting gsd-pi's smart-entry wizard to gsd-core:
deterministic classifier (gsd-tools smart-entry --json) + markdown
command/workflow with AskUserQuestion + --text fallback. Routing-first
('what now?' menu), 10 situations redesigned for gsd-core's phase loop.

* feat: add /gsd-start smart-entry command

State-aware front door adapted from gsd-pi's smart-entry wizard,
redesigned for gsd-core's markdown-first, multi-runtime architecture.

- src/smart-entry.cts: deterministic situation classifier (no-project,
  paused, blocked, verify-failed, needs-first-phase, planning, executing,
  verify-pending, idle-stranded, complete, unknown). Reads STATE.md,
  ROADMAP.md, git, and verify signals; emits JSON the workflow consumes.
- gsd-tools.cjs: wire  case + help listing.
- commands/gsd/start.md + gsd-core/workflows/gsd.md: thin markdown
  dispatcher presenting an AskUserQuestion menu (with --text fallback for
  non-Claude runtimes) and dispatching to existing commands. Falls back
  to /gsd:progress if detection is unavailable.
- help.md: document /gsd:start (parity with bug-2954).
- tests: smart-entry.unit.test.cjs (classifier behavior across all
  situations + priority + JSON shape) and gsd-workflow.structure.test.cjs
  (markdown-layer invariants + every emitted command resolves to a real
  slash command).

Spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-27-gsd-smart-entry-design.md
Note: command-contract (ADR-0002) requires a gsd:* prefix, so the bare
/gsd from the spec surfaces as /gsd-start.

* refactor: rename smart-entry command to /gsd:next

Rename the command from /gsd:start to /gsd:next per feedback. The
command file is now commands/gsd/next.md (name: gsd:next) and the
backing workflow is gsd-core/workflows/smart-entry.md (named for the
smart-entry classifier and gsd-tools smart-entry subcommand; does not
collide with the existing workflows/next.md, which is the progress
--next sub-workflow). help.md and the spec updated to match.

All affected tests (188) pass; lint:ci clean.

* fix: smart-entry reads real STATE.md schema (nested progress YAML + body Phase field)

Codex review found the classifier misread this repo's own STATE.md: it
looked only for scalar current_phase/total_phases frontmatter and body
fields named 'Current Phase'/'Total Phases', but real STATE.md stores
the phase as body 'Phase: N' and total_phases/percent under a nested
'progress:' YAML object. Both came back null, so active projects
(e.g. this repo at Phase 3 / verifying) wrongly classified as
needs-first-phase.

- detectSignals now reads total_phases + percent from nested progress{}
  first, then scalar fm, then body; current_phase falls back to the
  body 'Phase:' field (parseProsePhaseField lineage).
- Add regression tests against the real schema (nested progress YAML +
  body Phase field) covering verify-pending + executing situations.

Verified against this repo: now classifies verify-pending (was
needs-first-phase). Coverage 93.25% lines / 86.99% branches.

* fix(workflow): tiered fallback when gsd-tools is broken (not just smart-entry)

Live test exposed a self-defeating fallback: when smart-entry --json
failed because gsd-tools itself was broken (missing
markdown-sectionizer.cjs), the workflow fell back to /gsd:progress —
which also depends on gsd-tools and would dead-end too.

Replace the single /gsd:progress fallback with a tiered recovery:
1. Probe gsd_run state-snapshot. If it ALSO errors, the whole tool
   layer is down — read .planning/STATE.md directly with the Read tool
   and synthesize a minimal situation + actions menu so /gsd:next stays
   useful. Surface a rebuild hint.
2. Only if smart-entry alone is missing (older gsd-core), fall back to
   /gsd:progress as before.

Matches the direct-read resilience the live agent already did by hand.

UPDATE_GOLDEN=1 node --test tests/golden-install-parity.test.cjs.
All 16 fixtures + inventory-manifest-sync now pass.

* Fix smart-entry verify-failed phase scoping and empty resolve shim step

Scope detectVerifyFailed to STATE.md's current phase so leftover higher
phase directories cannot force verify-failed routing. Move the gsd_run
shim resolver into the workflow resolve step so agents define gsd_run
before the detect step runs smart-entry.

* chore: regenerate fixtures + inventory manifest after rebase onto next

Rebased onto next which adopted #1837 (package-version normalization to
<VERSION> in golden-install-parity hashes). Recaptured the golden fixture
that needed it (hermes), re-sorted INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json, and regenerated
the gsd-next / ns-workflow skill descriptions to match the command surface.

* refactor(#1787): delegate /gsd:next in-project advancement to gated /gsd:progress --next

Reconciles the /gsd:next smart-entry front door with the existing
/gsd:progress --next engine (davesienkowski review on PR #1798). The
classifier previously recommended /gsd:execute-phase directly for the
`executing` situation, bypassing workflows/next.md Route 0
(resume-incomplete-phase invariant, #160) and Gates 1-3 — reproducing the
duplication that got the old flat /gsd-next removed (#3054), plus a
correctness hazard (executing the recorded current phase while an earlier
phase is silently incomplete).

Now planning/executing/verify-pending recommend `/gsd:progress --next`
(single gated engine); the specific command stays an explicit secondary.
Off-path states (no-project, paused, blocked, verify-failed,
idle-stranded, complete) keep direct recommendations — smart-entry's
distinct value over --next. Adds docs/adr/1787-gsd-next-smart-entry.md and
a regression test locking the delegation contract.

* docs(#1787): avoid literal /gsd-next token in ADR (bug-3054 guard)

The repo-invariants #3054 guard bans the removed /gsd-next slash form in
docs surfaces. Refer to the removed command as `gsd-next` (prose) — the
historical reference is unchanged, just the banned token is dropped.

* chore: gitignore compiled host-integration-sdk + handshake-serialized .cjs

Pre-existing gap from #1683: these two src/*.cts modules compile to
gsd-core/bin/lib/*.cjs but were omitted from the per-file ignore list, so
`npm run build`/`npm test` left them as untracked build artifacts (dirty
tree + accidental-commit footgun). Adds them alongside their siblings
(host-integration.cjs, mcp-server.cjs, …). Found while finishing #1798.

* test(#1787): lock per-situation action invariants for all 11 situations + ADR typo

Adversarial-review follow-ups:
- Add a test asserting every situation's action set has exactly one
  recommended action, 1-4 unique-id /gsd:* actions (previously the
  one-recommended/1-4 invariant was only sampled for 6 of 11 situations).
- Fix ADR typo: /gsd-progress → /gsd:progress.

* fix(#1798): split oversized test chunks so a slow shard can't trip the per-chunk timeout

Root-cause of the intermittent `full test (windows-latest, 22, shard 1/3)`
failure. It was NOT a leaked handle (the runner's kill message guesses that,
but --test-force-exit already exits leaks cleanly). Diagnosis:

- Ran every shard-1/3 file WITHOUT --test-force-exit + a 45s kill-timer:
  zero hangs, zero leaks — every file self-exits. So no leaked handle / hang.
- CI activity profile: output kept flowing (slowly) right up to the 600.0s
  kill — a dead hang would go silent. => pure slowness.
- Per-file timing: install-minimal-hooks.test.cjs is a 4987-line / 250-case
  consolidation file doing dozens of real installs — 41s even on a fast Mac
  (much worse on the slow Windows I/O path), plus an install-heavy cluster.

Mechanism: MAX_FILES_PER_CHUNK=180 packed the whole ~171-file shard into ONE
`node --test` chunk, so the entire shard's wall-clock ran against a single
600s per-chunk backstop. On slow Windows runners that single chunk crossed
600s and was killed mid-run — an intermittent false-negative gate that also
hits `next` directly.

Fix: lower MAX_FILES_PER_CHUNK 180 -> 90 so each shard splits into ~2 chunks,
each with its own fresh 600s budget and a fresh node process (also relieves
per-process memory pressure). Verified locally: shard 1/3 now runs as
chunk 1/2 (90 files) + chunk 2/2 (81 files), 5323 tests, 0 fail. Also made the
timeout kill-message name slowness as a cause instead of asserting a leak, so
the next debugger isn't sent hunting a nonexistent handle leak.

92091d71f2 fix(#1871): wire phase archival end-to-end (phases archive cmd + default + atomic) (#1924)
Follow-up to #1919 (archive-then-remove core). Closes the remaining #1871
acceptance criteria so phase history is preserved across the full milestone
lifecycle, not just at phases.clear:

- #2 src/milestone.cts + src/phases-command-router.cts: extract shared
  archivePhaseDirectories() helper; add cmdPhasesArchive (the previously
  half-wired phases.archive alias now routes instead of erroring Unknown).
- #4 gsd-tools.cjs + src/milestone.cts: milestone complete archives phase
  dirs by default (--no-archive-phases opts out; --archive-phases is now a
  harmless no-op). complete-milestone.md updated to drop the redundant manual
  Yes/Skip archive prompt.
- #3 gsd-core/workflows/new-milestone.md: §6 stages the archive move + source
  removal (git add .planning/milestones/ .planning/phases/) in the same commit
  as the milestone start, so the archive lands atomically — no orphaned
  uncommitted deletions, no un-archived dirs inherited.
- docs/CLI-TOOLS.md (+ ja/zh/ko/pt) + help/modes/full.md: flag accuracy.
- tests: phases archive command (#2) + milestone complete default archive /
  --no-archive-phases opt-out (#4). Goldens + workflow size baseline refreshed.

Closes #1871
