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.

* test(#4763): failing-first — replaced-record payload and executor --phase pins

* fix(#4763): surface the displaced session record and pass --phase from the executor decision loop

state record-session keeps its last-writer-wins write (the recorded single-slot
handoff design) but no longer displaces silently: when a non-empty Stopped At or
authored Resume File record is replaced, the payload carries the full prior text
under replacedRecord. Same-value rewrites, the insert path, and the #944
template-default DWIM are not displacements and report nothing.

The executor decision loop now passes --phase "${PHASE}" to state.add-decision,
matching execute-plan.md, so decisions stop inheriting whichever phase the
global pointer names (#4763 case 2). advance-plan is unchanged (#3311 by-design).

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-executor.md — the decision loop gained its --phase guard and a comment naming why (#4763)

d1d9ee85a5 feat(#4142): thread convention through the completion-path membership seam (#3644)
* feat(#2761): gated heading-intro selection + one bracket identity grammar

Foundation. Two owner-level changes plus a federated convention resolver; no
reader consumes them yet.

1. GATED SELECTION, not an ungated widening.

   Widening every heading matcher requires the claim "no legacy ROADMAP contains
   a `[CODE.MM]` bracket followed by a digit", and that is false:
   `### [RFC.2119] 5:`, `### [v1.0] 2024:`, `### [ADR.612] 3:` and
   `### [ISO.8601] 2026:` are ordinary headings, and a widened reader claims each
   as a phase — moving phase_count and total_phases and adding W006 on projects
   that never opted in. No narrowing rescues it: the premise is about documents
   we do not control.

   `phaseHeadingPrefixSrcFor(baseline, convention, capturing?)` selects the
   pattern SOURCE at construction time. A project whose resolved
   `phase_id_convention` is not exactly 'bracket' compiles the same source string
   it compiled before. `baseline` is explicit because whether a site spells the
   any-bracket prefix or a bare `Phase\s+` is a fact about that site's history:
   handing the wider grammar to a bare site retro-grants tolerance it never had,
   in both directions — warnings appear, and a warning that fires today vanishes.

   Both bracket forms CAPTURE. `[GSD.999] Phase 07:` previously matched through
   the base alternative, which captures nothing, so a reader saw no bracket, fell
   back to the legacy token rule, and counted a labeled icebox heading while
   excluding the label-less one beside it — two derivations of one ROADMAP
   disagreeing.

2. ONE bracket identity grammar, one width rule.

   The milestone width is reconciled with the emit validator: pad2 output, so
   two digits or 3+ with no leading zero. Earlier spellings diverged in both
   directions — admitting `002`, which the validator rejects, and a bare `0` pad2
   never produces — and the section recognizers accepted `[GSD.2]`, which SCOPED
   a milestone no phase heading could then resolve into, recreating the
   on-disk-count fallback this epic removes. An unpadded bracket is now uniformly
   malformed: it scopes nothing, bounds nothing, sections nothing. W005 on its
   directories is the surfacing signal.

   The milestone field is boundary-anchored, so a malformed run cannot match by
   its prefix (`GSD.002-01` read as sentinel `00`). Recognition stays
   case-insensitive because readers compile `/i`, but identity helpers match
   `[A-Z]`, so a captured id is folded first — otherwise `### [gsd.999] 07:`
   failed every sentinel test. The qualified key shares the width, the `(?=-|$)`
   boundary and the single-sub-phase shape of the directory token, because
   phaseTokenMatches returns unconditionally on a qualified hit: a key matching a
   directory isPhaseDirName rejects would be a final wrong answer.

3. resolvePhaseIdConvention federates workstream -> root exactly as
   config-loader does — including that root is a fallback only when a WORKSTREAM
   is active, so a project-scoped directory stands alone. loadConfig cannot serve
   this: it merges against CONFIG_DEFAULTS and drops keys it does not know, and
   this key is not among them. It governs the bracket-selection reads ONLY.

PHASE_HEADING_PREFIX_SRC is left byte-identical: PR-1 shipped it, nothing
consumes it, and it is superseded rather than redefined.

* feat(#2761): roadmap.cts selects its heading grammar from the convention

Six matchers build their intro through the gated selector, and
cmdRoadmapAnalyze / cmdRoadmapGetPhase / getRoadmapPhaseWithFallback each
resolve the convention ONCE per command and thread it down.

Three sites take the any-bracket baseline (they already tolerated
`[anything] Phase N`); three take label-only (they spelled a bare `Phase\s+`).
Handing the wider grammar to a label-only site retro-grants tolerance it never
had — and not only by adding matches: on a legacy repo an unchecked
`- [ ] **[v1.0] Phase 05: Thing**` bullet would start SUPPRESSING the W006 that
fires today.

Sentinel handling under bracket ADDS a rule rather than replacing one: a
bracketed heading is a sentinel when its bracket milestone is reserved
(`### [GSD.999] 01:`) OR when its token is, so the engine-wide 0/999 backlog
convention keeps applying to `### [GSD.02] 999:`. Replacing the token rule let a
mid-migration ROADMAP — bracket headings plus a legacy backlog block, exactly
the content this epic targets — add entries to the progress denominator. The
captured id is folded before the identity test, so a lowercase
`### [gsd.999] 07:` is excluded too.

The DIRECTORY read is threaded too. `cmdRoadmapAnalyze` resolves the convention
once and hands it to all four of its heading/checklist patterns, but the single
`phaseTokenMatches` call that decides `disk_status`, `plan_count`,
`summary_count`, `has_context` and `has_research` was left two-argument — so
every canonical `{CODE}.{MM}-{PP}-slug` directory read as `no_directory` with
zero counts, on the PR's own headline verb, while the SAME build resolved those
same directories correctly in three other places on the same repo (W006/W007 via
phaseTokenFromDir, `state json` via the milestone filter, and the W021
milestone-complete read through this very helper's three-argument form). It
failed ONLY for the directory shape the convention exists to name: a
mid-migration bracket repo carrying legacy `01-one` dirs resolved fine, which is
why nothing caught it. Measured, bracket vs its flat-legacy twin:
`[["01","no_directory",0,0],["02","no_directory",0,0]]` against
`[["01","complete",1,1],["02","planned",1,0]]`.

The oracle is the twin, computed in the same test run, plus exact literals —
`grep disk_status tests/adr-612-*` was zero hits before this, so neither the fix
nor a future regression had any gate at all.

Disclosed: a ROADMAP written in bracket form before config.json is switched
reads as empty rather than mis-counted. Silent invisibility during the migration
window is the deliberate trade against claiming phases on projects that never
opted in.

* feat(#2761): validate.cts selects its grammar; gated directory recognition

The W006/W007 feeders take the resolved convention as a threaded parameter.
These sites carry the letter-tolerant `[\w][\w.-]*` capture, which makes them
where an ungated widening does the most damage: `### [RFC.2119] 5:` enters
roadmapPhases as a phantom and becomes a W007 "in ROADMAP.md but no directory on
disk" on a project that never opted in.

buildRoadmapPhaseVariants also surfaces the tokens borne ONLY by sentinel-bracket
headings. Surfaced rather than filtered in place because roadmapPhases feeds both
a membership check and a missing-directory warning, and only the latter should
ignore an icebox item.

That set is OCCURRENCE-AWARE, and the subtlety is load-bearing: roadmapPhases is
a TOKEN set, so `[GSD.999] 01` and `[GSD.02] 01` collapse to one entry. Keying
suppression on the token alone let an icebox heading silence a REAL phase that
happens to share its number — a false negative strictly worse than the warning it
removed. A token is suppressed only when no non-sentinel heading bears it.

Directory recognition is added as gated FUNCTIONS beside the exported RegExp
constants, which stay byte-identical: the `{CODE}.{MM}-` prefix is
string-indistinguishable from the letter-prefixed-decimal family this repo
documents as ambiguous, and folding a branch in changes those constants' answers
on exactly that family. A RegExp constant has nowhere to attach a gate.

The recognizer mirrors the emit grammar and delegates the token to the canonical
owner, so recognizer and resolver agree on rejected input as well as accepted.
Both functions throw on a non-string, matching the call pattern they replace.

buildRoadmapPhaseVariants' CHECKLIST scan is capturing, like its heading twin
and like the sibling checklist scan in roadmap.cts, and for the reason that one
states: the bracket id has to ride along or the sentinel filter is blind to
`- [ ] **[GSD.999] 01: Icebox**`. Left un-capturing, the scan called every
checklist token REAL, and the occurrence-aware un-suppression loop then deleted
the icebox token the HEADING scan had correctly marked sentinel — so `validate
consistency` warned that a bracket ICEBOX phase had no directory, in the HOUSE
ROADMAP shape where an icebox appears as both a bold bullet and a detail
heading. `validate health` stayed silent on that same repo, so the two verbs
disagreed — which is the disagreement `sentinelPhases` exists to close.

Both directions are pinned, because the failure mode of a careless fix here is
the opposite one: a real phase sharing a sentinel's token must still warn. It
does, in all four shapes that attack it (sentinel heading + real bullet,
lowercase sentinel, sentinel after the real heading, colon-less bullet).

* fix(#2761): count bracket headings, and retire them, in both derivations

Both `total_phases` derivations select their grammar from the resolved
convention, in one commit — cmdStateSync already carries the comment that it
mirrors buildStateFrontmatter "so both report consistent percents (#3242 Bug B)",
so teaching one and not the other ships that divergence.

The #1514 retirement filter widens WITH the counter it protects. The canonical
gesture strikes the checklist BULLET and leaves the detail heading intact, so a
bracket-form retirement went undetected and the phase stayed in the denominator
forever. That is half a fix alone: the retired key is compared against
phaseKeyFromDir, which called extractPhaseToken with no convention. Both halves
land here.

Under bracket the sentinel token rule composes as the full engine set {0, 999},
so this counter agrees with `roadmap analyze`, which has always excluded both —
otherwise the two derivations report different numbers for one ROADMAP and the
changeset's "excluded from every count" is false as written. The LEGACY path
keeps its pre-existing 999-only rule: widening it there would move legacy totals,
so the two stay split off the bracket path exactly as they are today.

The sync-side assertion reads the PERCENT sync writes into the STATE.md body, not
the frontmatter total_phases. Sync's own counter never reaches that field — the
read derivation writes it — so asserting the frontmatter after a sync measures the
read path twice and lets a mutation to the write-path guard survive.

* feat(#2761): verify.cts bracket-coherence W021 + selected milestone-complete read

The shipped milestone-prefixed W021 gate keeps its ROOT-only config read,
verbatim base semantics. Federating it silently moved a legacy convention's
answer in BOTH directions on workstream repos — a W021 that fires at base
vanishing, and one that is silent at base firing. resolvePhaseIdConvention
governs the new bracket-selection reads only.

B6, the milestone-complete check, keeps its ungated POSTURE (bug-557 pins it
with an empty config) but selects its grammar from the convention. Inferring
'bracket' from the shape of a matched bracket ran a repo-failing check against a
legacy ROADMAP that merely contained `### [RFC.2119] 5:`. Directory resolution
widens with the heading read, so a bracket repo whose phases are on disk stays
silent, and a bracket sentinel is not reported as unstarted.

checkBracketCoherence is advisory and gated. Anchored to tokenizeHeadings so
fenced examples cannot warn and heading level is structural. Its scope rules each
close a way it silently did nothing or fired wrongly: only a genuine MILESTONE
heading opens or closes a section (a `### Notes` used to reset scope and disable
both sub-checks); a legacy `## v3.0` DOES close it; an M-NN or letter-suffixed
phase heading raises missing-bracket and CONTINUES; a bare `#### 2026:` is not a
phase; the full h2-h6 range is processed. Its section recognizer shares the one
milestone width, so an unpadded `### [GSD.3] 05:` can no longer be a phase to the
id grammar and a section to the section grammar at once, silently re-scoping
every warning after it.

validate consistency suppresses bracket sentinels in its missing-directory
warning — the two verbs disagreed, health suppressing via notStartedPhases while
consistency did not. The legacy reading is untouched, including its pre-existing
wart that `### Phase 999:` still warns there.

* fix(#2761): scope the milestone by its bracket; select the disk-side filter

Two roadmap-parser reads, both of which made a bracket project's totals track
the disk instead of the ROADMAP.

The ADR pins the bracket milestone heading as `## [GSD.02] Foundation` — a name,
no version — but scoping matched STATE's `milestone: v2.0` STRING against a
heading, so the canonical form matched nothing and total_phases fell back to the
directory count. The rule was re-derived in THREE places: extractCurrentMilestone
plus two `milestoneBounded` guards; fixing one left the others falling back
regardless, so they are now one gated helper. It matches the CANONICAL padded
spelling only — accepting `0*N` bounded a milestone whose phases were invisible,
which un-suppressed a progress percent computed off an unscoped disk count.

getMilestonePhaseFilter's heading scan becomes the 14th selected read. On a
bracket ROADMAP it collected nothing, so the filter degraded to pass-all and
buildStateFrontmatter counted every other milestone's directories — making the
bracket convention strictly worse than the M-NN one it supersedes on the property
that matters most: totals must track the ROADMAP, not the disk.

The DIRECTORY side of that same filter is selected with it. Teaching only the
heading scan was half a fix and a worse one: `milestonePhaseNums` became
non-empty, so the pass-all degrade stopped firing, but no bracket directory could
satisfy the three legacy dir checks (numericRe fails on `GSD.02-05-five`, the
custom-id match captures the project code `GSD`, and stripProjectCodePrefix does
not strip a dotted prefix). Every bracket directory was rejected, and
completed_phases / total_plans / completed_plans / percent all collapsed to 0
while `state sync` went on writing a percent off the unfiltered disk — `state
json` reporting 0% on the same repo, in the same second, that STATE.md's body
called 67%. That is the #3242 Bug B divergence this PR exists to avoid, and
total_phases could not show it: `Math.max(phaseDirs.length, roadmapPhaseCount)`
floors it at the ROADMAP count no matter how many directories are rejected.

The dir side matches on the milestone-QUALIFIED id, delegated to the owner's
gated `phaseTokenMatches(dir, id, 'bracket')`, not on the bare token: READING-B
puts the milestone in the bracket, so `GSD.01-01-old-one` and `GSD.02-01-one`
share the token `01` and only the qualified key separates them. The qualified ids
are kept in their own set — a hyphen in `milestonePhaseNums` would flip
`roadmapUsesHyphenedIds` and silently move the LEGACY dir path on a bracket repo
— and the branch is ADDITIVE: on a miss it falls through to the three legacy
checks, so a bracket project carrying legacy-shaped directories reads unchanged.

Both are resolved lazily and gated, so the legacy path pays neither a config read
nor a second scan and cannot change answer. The scoping call is also GUARDED:
resolvePhaseIdConvention reaches planningDir, which throws a plain Error for a
GSD_PROJECT/GSD_WORKSTREAM segment carrying `/`, `\` or `..`. At base the only
planningDir call in extractCurrentMilestone sits inside the STATE-read try, so
the function returned normally on such an environment; an unguarded one here let
that escape and broke the never-throws invariant that getRoadmapPhaseInternal and
getMilestoneInfo three hundred lines below carry #2245 / ADR-227 notes about.
Unreachable through the CLI — GSD_WORKSTREAM is rejected up front by the
workstream-name policy and GSD_PROJECT throws identically at base — but reachable
by any in-process embedder, which is precisely who that invariant is for. The
filter's own resolve call was already inside its try and is unaffected.

The milestone-qualified key is formed only for a token that is itself a bracket
phase token. `${bracketId}-${token}` is a string SPLICE, so a mid-migration
heading carrying an M-NN label — `### [GSD.02] Phase 02-01:` — spliced to
`GSD.02-02-01`, which the qualified-key grammar reads as milestone 02 / phase 02:
the `-01` truncated, both such headings collapsing to one key, and the heading
claiming `GSD.02-02-two`, the directory it does NOT name, while rejecting
`GSD.02-01-one`, the one it does. The guard drops those headings back to the
unqualified legacy path, restoring the base ACCEPTANCE VECTOR exactly — pinned
against the milestone-prefixed reading of the same ROADMAP, which is
base-identical on this shape.

Scoped precisely, because the fixture moves one number that the guard does not
touch: `total_phases` on it reads 1 at base and 2 here. That is the bracket
heading COUNT this PR exists to add, not the splice — measured identical with and
without the guard, and identical to what the canonical `### [GSD.02] 01:`
spelling does on the same fixture (both read 2 with zero directories on disk,
where base reads 0). The claim is base-equivalent ACCEPTANCE, not a
base-equivalent reading.

One consequence is stated rather than fixed: a heading whose token carries a
hyphen still puts that hyphen into milestonePhaseNums and so still flips
`roadmapUsesHyphenedIds`. Base does the same for that spelling, so preserving it
is what keeps the shape base-equivalent; excluding the token would have moved
answers versus base on malformed input. The comment at the qualified-set
declaration is corrected to claim only what is true — it keeps QUALIFIED IDS out
of that flag's input, not hyphens in general.

The oracles ship with it, and they are the five numbers, not the one: the parity
gate now asserts total_phases, completed_phases, total_plans, completed_plans AND
percent, on both derivations, on two fixture shapes (one milestone; two
milestones with stale prior-milestone directories on disk). The oracle is the
flat-legacy twin, built in the same test run and compared number for number,
plus exact literals so a shared wrong answer cannot pass.

The oracle SUBSTITUTION is itself pinned. The M-NN spelling of these shapes could
not serve, because buildStateFrontmatter's #2445 de-dup key captures only a
directory's leading integer and collapses `02-01-one` / `02-02-two` /
`02-03-three` to one — measured [3,0,1,0,0] against the flat-legacy twin's
[3,2,3,2,67], identically at base and before this fix, and structurally
unreachable from the bracket key space. That reasoning is only sound while it
stays true, so a characterization test holds the M-NN reading down on the two
numbers that do not depend on which directory wins the mtime race. Widen the
de-dup key and it fails, instead of quietly invalidating the changeset's
disclosure.

Also adds the call-site pin. The structural table pins transcription against the
selector; it cannot see a call site whose BASELINE ARGUMENT is wrong. Flipping
verify.cts's milestone-complete site to the wider baseline grants a
fires-on-every-repo check tolerance it has never had, and every behavioural test
still passed. The pin reads the shipped sources and asserts the mode at each of
the 14 sites, count-exact.

* test(#2761): pin the bracket read surfaces in the parity gate

This gate exists because #2043 fixed one bug across five hand-edited copies of a
rule and #2232 was the residual that survived, because a later reader could not
tell the copies were one rule. PR-2 adds two consumers, so they belong here.

Surface 7 — the heading read and the directory read must agree about WHICH phase
a `MM-<seg>` pair names, across the shared width corpus, and the bracket and
legacy spellings of one heading must yield the same token.

Surface 8 — the two bracket directory readers, in BOTH directions. Agreement on
ACCEPTED input was already pinned; agreement on REJECTED input is where they
actually diverged.

* chore(#2761): changeset

Disclosures for the PR body (deliberate, not defects):

- phase_id_convention is not a CONFIG_DEFAULTS key, so loadConfig drops it and
  cannot serve as the convention resolver however the file is federated. This PR
  ships its own workstream->root resolver; adding the key and its value enum is
  later-slice work.
- Convention matching is strictly === 'bracket'. A misspelled value reads as
  not-configured and the project keeps legacy behaviour silently.
- An UNPADDED bracket milestone (`[GSD.2]`) is malformed: it scopes nothing,
  bounds nothing, sections nothing, and is not a phase id. W005 on its
  directories is the surfacing signal.
- WIDTH UNIFICATION MOVED FOUR MERGED PR-1 EXPORT ANSWERS on non-canonical
  inputs, none of which toDir can emit and none of which had a bracket caller at
  base:
    isSentinelPhaseId('GSD.0-01',    'bracket')  true  -> false
    isSentinelPhaseId('GSD.0999-01', 'bracket')  true  -> false
    getMilestoneFromPhaseId('GSD.2-01',   'bracket')  'v2.0' -> null
    getMilestoneFromPhaseId('GSD.002-01', 'bracket')  'v2.0' -> null
  The canonical pad2 sentinel spelling `[GSD.00]` still tests true.
- FLAG TO MAINTAINER: docs/adr/612:132 reads "Sentinel behavior (0.x / 999.x ->
  milestone null) is preserved". After the unification that holds for the
  canonical `00` spelling only, not for a bare `[GSD.0]`. ADR wording is yours;
  flagging the tension rather than editing it.
- The bracket sentinel rule COMPOSES with the legacy one — a bracketed heading is
  a sentinel when its bracket milestone OR its token is reserved. Under bracket
  the state-side token rule is the full {0, 999} set so both derivations agree;
  the LEGACY path keeps its pre-existing 999-only rule, unchanged.
- validate consistency's legacy reading is untouched, including the pre-existing
  wart that `### Phase 999:` warns there while validate health suppresses it.
- find-phase still cannot resolve a bracket phase directory. phase-locator.cts is
  outside this PR's module set. Sibling PR #2559's matchPhaseDirs calls
  phaseTokenMatches without a convention, so whichever slice lands second must
  thread it through.
- Four of the five bracket readers scan raw ROADMAP content, so a bracket heading
  inside a fenced code block is read as a phase. Pre-existing for the legacy
  spelling; parity, not a new class.
- roadmapPhaseLookupSources gained no bracket source: nothing emits a
  milestone-qualified query into it yet.
- roadmap validate remains a separate, unfederated convention reader.
  Pre-existing and base-identical, but two verbs can disagree about the active
  convention on one project.
- _diskScanCache keys on cwd while the values it caches are now
  convention-dependent. Not reproducible through the CLI; pre-existing for the
  workstream dimension, widened here. Stated as inconclusive.
- A ROADMAP written in bracket form before config.json is switched reads as empty
  rather than mis-counted — the deliberate migration-window trade.
- THE READ AND WRITE PERCENTS STILL DIVERGE ON A MULTI-MILESTONE REPO, and that
  divergence is MIRRORED under bracket rather than closed. buildStateFrontmatter
  applies the milestone filter; cmdStateSync does its own fs.readdirSync and never
  calls it, so on a repo carrying prior-milestone directories the read path
  reports the SCOPED percent and the sync body reports the WHOLE-DISK one.
  Measured on the true base build (d04592de), flat-legacy spelling, 3 in-scope
  phases with 1 complete plus 2 stale prior-milestone dirs: `state json`
  [3,1,3,1,33], sync body 60%. The bracket twin of that repo now reads the same
  two numbers — 33 and 60. Scoping the sync counter would move every legacy
  repo's percent, which a bracket read-path PR must not do. The gate pins both
  sides, so the mirror cannot silently become a one-sided fix.
- THE PARITY ORACLE IS THE FLAT-LEGACY TWIN, NOT THE M-NN ONE, and that is a
  measurement finding rather than a preference. buildStateFrontmatter's #2445
  de-dup key captures only a directory's LEADING integer, so the M-NN dirs
  `02-01-one` / `02-02-two` / `02-03-three` all key to `2` and two of the three
  are dropped before they are ever counted: base reads [3,0,1,0,0] where the
  flat-legacy twin of the same repo reads [3,2,3,2,67]. Present identically at
  base and at HEAD, untouched here, and structurally unreachable from the bracket
  key space — `GSD.02-01-one` does not match that pattern at all, so every bracket
  directory keys to its own name. The source line already carries a
  `phase-id-owner:` sanction recording the divergence. Mirroring it under bracket
  would mean manufacturing a collision that cannot occur, so the gate compares
  against the flat-legacy spelling, which is uncontaminated. This paragraph is
  itself pinned: a characterization test holds the M-NN reading on the two
  numbers that do not depend on which directory wins the mtime race, so widening
  the de-dup key in a later slice fails the suite rather than silently making
  this disclosure false.
- THE `phaseTokenMatches` CALL-SITE CENSUS, stated so the remaining gaps are
  auditable rather than implied. 13 call sites outside the owner (phase-id.cts).
  THREE are three-argument: verify.cts:2229 (the W021 milestone-complete read,
  already was), roadmap.cts:436 (`roadmap analyze`'s directory lookup, threaded
  by this PR) and roadmap-parser.cts:792 (the disk-side milestone filter, added
  by this PR). The other TEN are two-argument and stay that way — phase.cts ×5
  (220, 277, 444, 585, 1547), phase-locator.cts:62, smart-entry.cts:243,
  init.cts:1414, milestone.cts:551 and verify.cts:2467. All ten are untouched by
  this PR and base-identical.
  One of them sits in a file this PR DOES edit, so it is named rather than left
  to a reader's grep: verify.cts:2467, `verify schema-drift <phase>`. Measured on
  a bracket repo across base / pre-fix branch / this HEAD, all three agree on all
  three argument forms — `verify schema-drift GSD.02-01` and `… 01` both report
  "Phase directory not found" on every build, and `… GSD.02-01-one` resolves on
  every build through the exact-directory-name fallback. So the user-visible
  shape of what stays broken is: a bracket phase is addressable there by full
  directory name only, exactly as at base. Threading the convention into a
  function this PR never touched, in the last round before ship, is the wrong
  trade; it is where the same one-argument fix goes next, alongside
  milestone.cts:551 and init.cts:1414.
- A BRACKET HEADING WHOSE TOKEN CARRIES A HYPHEN (`### [GSD.02] Phase 02-01:`,
  a mid-migration spelling) forms NO milestone-qualified key, and therefore
  scopes through the unqualified legacy path — base-equivalent ACCEPTANCE, which
  is the claim, and not a base-equivalent reading: `total_phases` on that shape

* chore(#2761): point the changeset at PR #2867

* test(#2761): fast-check properties for the convention-selection layer

CONTRIBUTING.md mandates a generative property test for parser/bijective-contract
changes; PR-2 shipped six example-based files and none. This adds the missing
layer, scoped to what PR-2 actually contracts — WHICH pattern each reader
compiles, decided by the resolved `phase_id_convention` — rather than restating
PR-1's grammar round-trip properties, which already live in
tests/adr-612-bracket-grammar.test.cjs.

Four properties: P1 an opted-in repo reads the ADR-canonical label-less bracket
heading/dir and a non-opted-in repo is byte-blind to the identical input; P2
every non-bracket convention agrees with the hand-transcribed BASE source over
generated content, including bracket-DOTTED legacy prose (`[RFC.2119] 5:`) that
must never be claimed as a phase; P3 nine per-field mutations are rejected and
the one case variation folds instead; P4 both sides of a phase comparison derive
the same key under the same convention.

Generators template every input from raw primitives — nothing is seeded through
renderPhaseId/toDir, the p2() tautology that made #2258 round 1's property test
structurally unable to find B1. Domain reaches past 99 into the 3+-digit branch
(round 2's numArb-capped-at-99 miss), forces sub-phases in at weight, and pins
both sentinel milestones.

Falsified against the COMPILED lib, not the source: five deliberate mutants
(gate never fires; gate always fires; milestone width widened to \d+; the #612
convention forwarding dropped from phaseKeyFromDir; extractPhaseToken's bracket
branch ungated) each fail the specific property that should catch them —
16/2, 16/2, 15/3, 17/1, 17/1 pass/fail — and the lib restores byte-identical.

An earlier draft of P2 held vacuously: its base regex omitted the markdown
furniture the selected one carried, so every realistic `### Phase NN:` line
matched neither side. The gate-always-fires mutant did not kill it. Both are now
compiled through one function, and that mutant kills P2.

* test(#2761): adversarial malformed bracket tokens across the tolerant readers

The existing boundary coverage stopped at shapes the emit grammar rejects
(unpadded `[GSD.3]`, wrong-case, `12A`). It never exercised a STRUCTURALLY
broken token — a non-numeric milestone, a bracket that never closes, a bracket
nested in another — which is the input a tolerant reader is most likely to
half-read, and the one the PR's own regex commentary is explicit about.

read-tolerance (roadmap heading scan + validate's dir and variant builders):
ten malformed headings, each asserted to be read as a phase by NO convention and
to give the opted-in repo the same answer as the legacy one; the corpus driven
through `roadmap analyze` end to end; malformed DIRECTORY names asserted
unrecognized and non-throwing on all four conventions; and the two variant
builders asserted to agree, since a widening that reaches only one splits
`validate consistency` from `validate health` (the #3242 Bug B shape).

coherence (verify.cts W021): the same six broken shapes asserted to raise no
W021 of their own AND not to re-scope the W021 that follows them — the G2
failure mode reached from a different shape, where a heading that is not a phase
but IS read as a section silently moves later warnings onto the wrong milestone.

Both files gain a pathological-input time bound. Nested quantifiers over a long
unclosed bracket are the classic ReDoS shape and two commits on next (#2828,
#2944) were CodeQL-flagged for exactly that, so the bound is asserted rather
than argued from reading the pattern. The probes themselves parse no regex.

* docs(#2761): document "bracket" as a phase_id_convention value

The row listed only `"milestone-prefixed"` and `null`, so after two shipped
slices (#2258 grammar, this PR's read path) the convention had no documented
enum value. CONFIGURATION.md is also a top-10 historical co-changer of both
src/verify.cts and src/state.cts and was absent from this PR.

The row states the boundary rather than the ambition: `"bracket"` changes the
READ path only, there is no migrator and no emit yet, and a project on any other
value compiles the patterns it compiled before. That keeps the docs honest for
the two releases before PR-3 and PR-4 land, instead of describing a convention a
user cannot yet migrate to.

* chore(#2761): retype the changeset Added, drop the docs-exempt marker

`Fixed` was wrong by CONTRIBUTING.md's own definition — a fix restores
documented behavior, and bracket read tolerance is the second slice of a
capability that did not exist before #2258. The type also carried a
`docs-exempt` marker, and `Fixed`/`Security` are exempt from the docs-required
lint, so the typing had the effect of routing around a gate this change should
pass. It now passes it: `lint-docs-required` returns ok_docs_updated on the
CONFIGURATION.md row added in the previous commit.

Body gains one sentence pointing at that row and restating that `"bracket"` is a
read-path opt-in until the migrator and write path land.

* test(#2761): pin the version-less bracket milestone scoping gap; narrow the claim

The changeset asserted that milestone scoping "recognises the ADR-canonical
`## [GSD.02] Foundation` heading and applies to the phase DIRECTORIES too." A
CLI probe on that exact heading form falsifies the second half: with no `vN.N`
in the milestone heading the directory side does not scope, and directories from
BOTH the prior and the later milestone are admitted. Measured 4 dirs counted
where the milestone declares 2.

Every bracket fixture in the suite writes `## [GSD.02] v2.0: …`, so nothing
covered the form the ADR actually specifies — and the state.cts doc comment
calls that version-less form canonical.

Mechanism, in extractCurrentMilestone: the bracket scope branch selects the
right currentSection, but `preambleCutoff` keys off a pattern requiring a
version or status emoji, so a version-less roadmap falls back to the current
milestone's own offset and every PRIOR milestone lands in the preamble — whose
phase-stripping regex only strips `Phase N:`-labelled headings, so bracket phase
headings survive it. Independently, `computeSectionEnd` accepts a boundary only
on a version/emoji heading, so the section runs to EOF and every LATER milestone
is swept in. Two sites, bidirectional.

Not fixed here: it changes milestone scoping, which is shared with the legacy
path. Five characterization tests pin today's reading plus a versioned CONTROL
proving the version string is the only difference, and the changeset sentence is
narrowed to what the code does. The DEFECT assertions are written to be
INVERTED by the fix, not deleted — that inversion is its regression proof.

* docs(#2761): re-anchor the branch's own cross-file line citations after the rebase

Three of this branch's code comments cite sibling call sites by line number, and
the rebase onto 178ec000 moved two of the three targets:

  roadmap-parser.cts  validate.cts:210 -> :218   (const g = capturing ? 1 : 0)
                      state.cts:1715   -> :1752  (const bg = … 'bracket' ? 1 : 0)
  roadmap.cts         verify.cts:2229  -> :2355  (phaseTokenMatches 3-arg form)

`state.cts:1715` had drifted 37 lines and now lands on the retirement skip, not
the capture-offset idiom the sentence is about — the citation read as evidence
for a claim the cited line does not support.

planning-workspace.cts's `config-loader.cts:618/:649` was checked and is still
correct; left alone.

Comment-only. Build, drift guard and the bracket suites re-run unchanged.

* fix(#2761): scope the version-less bracket milestone heading too (B1)

computeSectionEnd and the preambleCutoff scan in extractCurrentMilestone
(roadmap-parser.cts) only recognized a milestone boundary heading that
carried a vN.N token or a status emoji. The ADR-canonical bracket
heading (## [GSD.02] Foundation) carries neither, so on that shape
computeSectionEnd fell through to content.length (sweeping every LATER
milestone into scope) and preambleCutoff fell back to the current
milestone's own offset (leaking every PRIOR milestone's bracket phases
into the preamble, whose Phase-N: strip regex never matches them).

Under the bracket scope branch, both sites now also accept a
`#{1,2}\s+\[CODE.MM\]` boundary, built from phase-id.cts's BRACKET_ID_SRC
(single owner of the bracket-id grammar) rather than a re-typed literal.
`#{1,2}` is the deliberate discriminator: a bracket PHASE heading is
level 3 and shares the same `[CODE.MM]` prefix, so a `#{1,3}` boundary
would swallow it too. Reachable only when bracketScopeConvention ===
'bracket' was already resolved (i.e. the bracket scope branch actually
fired), so version-bearing/emoji headings and non-bracket conventions
take the exact pre-existing code path byte-identically — confirmed by
the full adr-612 suite staying green.

Inverts the four DEFECT assertions in the
"#612 PR-2 CHARACTERIZATION: a version-less bracket milestone does not
scope" describe block (tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs)
into their regression-proof form, per the block's own doc comment, and
reframes the describe title/comments accordingly. Corrects the
.changeset/2761-bracket-read-tolerance.md fragment, which described the
directory-side version-less gap as an open, un-closed bound.

* fix(#2761): thread sentinelPhases into validate health's W006 loop (B2)

cmdValidateHealth's W006 loop (src/verify.cts) destructured only
roadmapPhases from buildRoadmapPhaseVariants, not sentinelPhases —
unlike cmdValidateConsistency, which already skips sentinelPhases with
the identical guard a few hundred lines up. A heading-only bracket
icebox/pre-milestone entry ([GSD.999] / [GSD.00]) therefore gained a
false W006 "no directory on disk" from validate health while validate
consistency correctly stayed silent on the very same ROADMAP — the two
validators contradicting each other.

Threads sentinelPhases through and skips it before the existsOnDisk
check, mirroring the consistency guard exactly. Gated the same way
sentinelPhases already is (empty unless phase_id_convention is
'bracket'), so a legacy repo's W006 reading — including its own
pre-existing wart where a legacy `### Phase 999:` still warns on both
verbs — is untouched; confirmed by the existing "INHERITED WART,
unchanged" test staying green.

Adds the paired-agreement regression test (#612 PR-2 B2 describe block
in tests/adr-612-bracket-read-tolerance.test.cjs): a sentinel-only
bracket roadmap must produce no missing-directory warning from EITHER
validator, plus a CONTROL proving a real phase with no directory still
warns on both. Confirmed red (health false-W006) against the pre-fix
code before applying the fix.

Corrects the .changeset/2761-bracket-read-tolerance.md fragment, which
described the asymmetry as already closed and in the wrong direction
(it credited validate health with already staying silent, when health
was the one falsely warning).

* test(#2761): pin mixed-shape preamble cutoff and boundary heading levels

Closes two self-flagged coverage gaps in the B1 fix (commit 08d5b0c4)
ahead of adversarial review. No src change — all three new tests are
green against the code as committed.

1. earliest-of-either preambleCutoff comparison: only exercised where
   the version/emoji match and the bracket match happen to land on the
   same heading. Adds the mid-migration mixed shape (version-bearing
   PRIOR + version-less CURRENT) and asserts scoping outcomes (accepts
   booleans + total_phases), not internals.

2. `h.level <= 2` conjunct in computeSectionEnd: provably redundant
   whenever the selected milestone heading is level 2 (every existing
   fixture), since `h.level > level` alone already implies it there —
   a mutant deleting the conjunct would have survived every prior test
   in this file. Adds a level-3 CURRENT-heading fixture (with a real
   PRIOR milestone so the preamble side-channel can't independently
   rescue the truncated phases) that makes the conjunct's deletion
   test-visible, confirmed by hand-mutating a throwaway copy of the
   compiled output (never touching tracked src or the real build) and
   observing the assertion flip. Also pins a level-1 companion case
   (#{1,2} tolerance, not just level 2).

NOT included here: the other mixed-shape direction (version-less PRIOR
+ version-bearing CURRENT) turned out to be a genuine, currently-unfixed
gap — reported separately rather than silently patched or weakened, per
instruction not to touch src while a probe run is in flight.

* fix(#2761): engage bracket boundaries when the current milestone heading is version-bearing (B3, self-caught)

Found during round-2 self-verification of B1 (commit 08d5b0c4), while
closing the mixed-heading-shape coverage gaps flagged in my own review
notes. The B1 fix resolved `bracketScopeConvention` only inside the
`if (headingMatches.length === 0)` gate that also drives SELECTION's
own bracket fallback (which heading counts as "current"). That gate is
correct for selection, but `bracketScopeConvention` also feeds
computeSectionEnd's and preambleCutoff's boundary detection further
down — which accidentally inherited selection's gate instead of having
its own.

Trigger shape: the CURRENT milestone heading is itself version-bearing
(`## [GSD.02] v2.0: Current Milestone`), so the primary version-string
match succeeds immediately — headingMatches.length !== 0 from the very
first check — and the entire bracket-resolution branch was skipped. A
sibling milestone (PRIOR or LATER) that is version-less then got
neither the version/emoji boundary rule (it has none) nor the bracket
boundary rule (never resolved), reproducing the original #612 defect
(total_phases falling back to the whole-disk count) through a
structural shape B1's own fixtures never exercised — every one of them
is uniformly version-bearing or uniformly version-less across all
three milestones, never mixed with CURRENT specifically being the
version-bearing one.

Fix: resolve `bracketScopeConvention` unconditionally, decoupled from
`headingMatches.length`. SELECTION is deliberately left untouched — the
`if (headingMatches.length === 0 && bracketScopeConvention === 'bracket')`
fallback that picks which heading is "current" keeps its original gate
byte-for-byte (confirmed by diff: that line is unmodified). Only the
convention *resolution* moved out from behind it, so boundary detection
can consult it regardless of which branch selected the heading. The
extra `resolvePhaseIdConvention` call this now costs on every
invocation (previously paid only when the version match found nothing)
is the accepted cost: a non-bracket repo still resolves to something
other than 'bracket' (or null on a poisoned env, caught exactly as
before), so `bracketMilestoneHeadingRe` stays null and every downstream
branch is byte-identical to today — confirmed by the full adr-612 +
roadmap-parser + state + verify + health-validation suite staying green
(1260/1260) and the all-version-bearing/legacy fixtures showing no
behavior change.

TDD: tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs describe block
"#612 PR-2 B3: bracket boundaries engage even when CURRENT is
version-bearing but a sibling is not" — 4 tests, confirmed red against
pre-fix code (leak-in booleans true/true, total_phases 4) before this
change, green after.

* fix(#2761): reject same-milestone continuation headings as boundaries (B1)

Gate-2 adversarial review Blocker 1: the B1/B3 boundary fired on ANY
#{1,2} `[CODE.MM]` heading, including one bearing the SAME milestone id
as the one currently selected — a version-less checklist/detail split
(`## [GSD.02] Foundation (Phase Details)`, or an ad-hoc continuation
heading) truncated the current milestone's own section instead of
being recognised as a continuation of it. The `(Phase Details)`
re-append only searches VERSION-STRING matches, so a version-less
continuation heading was cut out and never re-appended — a confidently
wrong, non-degraded phase count for a still-incomplete milestone
(repro8 case 1: 1/1/100 instead of 2/1/50; repro5: same, on a fully
version-less roadmap with no sibling milestones at all).

Introduces one shared helper, isBracketMilestoneBoundary(headingText,
level, selectedBracketId), used by both computeSectionEnd and the
preambleCutoff bracket scan, replacing the ungated `h.level <= 2 &&
bracketMilestoneHeadingRe.test(...)` inline check. `selectedBracketId`
(case-folded via phase-id.cts's foldBracketId, matching the branch's
own fold-before-identity convention) is derived from `selected[0]`,
which is the full matched heading line on BOTH selection paths
(version-string and bracket-fallback), so one extraction covers both.

Level cap stays at `level > 2` for now (temporary — ADR-612's content
discriminator replaces it in the next commit); same-milestone rejection
is the change this commit is scoped to.

DEVIATION from the reviewed plan, caught empirically: applying the
same-milestone rejection at the preambleCutoff site (as literally
specified) regressed an existing pin ("boundary heading level: a
level-1 CURRENT milestone heading also scopes correctly") and a
fenced-heading case (repro10 A3) — because preambleCutoff's job is
"where does the earliest milestone-shaped heading sit, scanning from
the TOP of the document," and the selected heading's own occurrence is
always a correct answer to that question regardless of same-id-ness;
rejecting it let the earliest-of-either comparison fall through to a
stray LATER heading instead. `selectedBracketId` is threaded through as
`null` at the preambleCutoff call site for this reason — bracket-shaped
(and, from the next commit, phase-tail) discrimination still applies
uniformly at both sites; only the same-milestone component is
call-site-specific, since it encodes a "keep scanning past this
heading" instruction with no counterpart in a top-of-document search.

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 B1 round-2: a same-milestone
continuation heading is not a boundary" — RED-turned-GREEN fixtures for
repro8 case 1 and repro5, plus PINs for repro8 case 3 (trailing
different-id icebox still terminates) and repro10 A1 (all-version-
bearing + icebox + Phase Details stays exactly 2/1/50 — no double-count
from the same-milestone exclusion interacting with the pre-existing
detailsMatch re-append). syncedTotal()/syncedPercent() assertions
omitted from the repro10 A1 pin: that fixture carries dirs outside the
current milestone, which exposes the SEPARATE Major 1 defect
(cmdStateSync's body percent from an unfiltered disk scan) — asserted
once Major 1 is fixed, not here.

Full suite green (796/796 across the targeted adr-612 + roadmap-parser
+ state files); node scripts/lint-phase-id-drift.cjs clean; eslint
clean on both changed files.

* fix(#2761): bracket boundary discriminates by content, not heading level (B2)

Gate-2 adversarial review Blocker 2: three sites disagreed about which
heading levels are a bracket milestone. The selector
(roadmap-parser.cts's bracket-fallback SELECTION branch,
`^#{1,3}\s+\[CODE.MM\]`) and `isMilestoneBounded` (state.cts) both
admit level 1-3, but isBracketMilestoneBoundary's level cap only
admitted level 1-2 (`h.level <= 2`, from the B1 commit). A `###`-level
bracket milestone heading was therefore SELECTED and BOUNDED but never
TERMINATED: computeSectionEnd ran with level=3, a level-3 SIBLING
milestone survived the pre-existing `h.level > level` (not-deeper)
filter, failed the version/emoji test (version-less), then failed
`h.level <= 2` — falling through to `return content.length` and
sweeping the sibling milestone's own phases into the current one.
Reproduces trek-e's original #612 defect verbatim ("a safe degrade
became a confidently-wrong persisted number") on a heading level the
selector and bounding predicate both already admit (repro2 case C:
4/75% instead of 2/100%; mechanism confirmed directly via repro7 —
extractCurrentMilestone returned the whole 214-byte document).

ADR-612 Decision 1 (docs/adr/612-bracket-phase-id-convention.md:56)
specifies the discriminator as CONTENT, not level: "a phase heading is
a bracket followed by a digit-then-colon ([GSD.02] 05:); a milestone
heading is a bracket followed by a name." Replaces the `level > 2`
rejection with BRACKET_PHASE_TAIL_RE — built by interpolating
phase-id.cts's single-owner phaseHeadingPrefixSrcFor(ANY_BRACKET,
'bracket', false) plus the digit + optional-tag + colon tail every
phase-heading counter in this file already spells, not a re-typed
grammar — and widens the level check to a depth-sanity cap of 3
(mirroring the selector's own `#{1,3}` ceiling; NOT itself a
phase/milestone discriminator). Covers the dotted sub-phase heading
form (`[GSD.02] 05.03:`) via the same `[\w][\w.-]*` token, pinned by a
new fixture — the shape where a regex slip in the tail grammar would
hide.

preambleCutoff's own raw-scan regex is widened from `^(#{1,2})` to
`^(#{1,3})` in lockstep: the outer pattern's level ceiling must track
the helper's cap, or a level-3 PRIOR milestone heading is invisible to
that scan and its own phase heading leaks into the preamble
un-stripped (a real double-count this widening closes, verified
against repro2 case C directly).

The existing "boundary heading level: a level-3 CURRENT milestone
heading still scopes correctly" pin (3e562f12) now passes via a
DIFFERENT mechanism than before — its own neighbours are version-
bearing, so it previously passed via the version/emoji rule (the level
cap was never actually exercised by that fixture, per the round-2
review's own finding); with the content discriminator, the SAME
fixture's level-3 phase headings are now correctly excluded because
they are phase-tail-shaped, not because they are too deep. A
deliberate mechanism change, confirmed by re-running that test green
after this commit.

Also updates the "every selector call site declares the right
baseline" governance pin (adr-612-bracket-heading-selection.test.cjs):
BRACKET_PHASE_TAIL_RE is a new, legitimate ANY_BRACKET call site in
roadmap-parser.cts (always passing the literal 'bracket' convention,
since its only caller is already gated on bracketBoundaryActive) —
EXPECTED count bumped 1->2, with a matching BASE_SITES transcription
entry (identical src to every other ANY_BRACKET site, since the
function is pure).

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 B2 round-2: the bracket boundary
is a CONTENT discriminator, not a level cap" — RED-turned-GREEN for
repro2 case C (exact total AND truthful percent, since
isMilestoneBounded already returns true at #{1,3}) and repro7's
mechanism, a PIN for the dotted sub-phase form, and a re-pin of repro8
case 3 (icebox) under the new mechanism.

Full suite green (907/907 across the targeted adr-612 + roadmap-parser
+ state + phase-id files); node scripts/lint-phase-id-drift.cjs clean;
eslint clean on all changed files.

* fix(#2761): fence-aware preamble cutoff on the bracket branch (Blocker 3)

Gate-2 adversarial review Blocker 3: preambleCutoff's bracket scan used
a raw content.match/matchAll — blind to fenced code blocks — while its
sibling computeSectionEnd (a few lines above it) already consumed
tokenizeHeadings(content), which strips fences. The two halves of one
boundary semantic disagreed about what a heading is.

A fenced markdown example in the preamble containing a bracket heading
(ADR-612's own docs do exactly this) was textually the earliest
`#{1,3} [CODE.MM]` match: preambleCutoff landed INSIDE the fence,
`preamble = content.slice(0, preambleCutoff)` ended with an unclosed
opener, and the unbalanced fence then blinded
getMilestonePhaseFilter's own tokenizeHeadings(scope) call — every
heading in the returned scope vanished, phaseCount degraded to 0, and
the pass-all filter admitted every directory on disk (repro11's
mechanism, confirmed directly: fence count 1/odd, tokenizeHeadings(scope)
-> only "Roadmap"). Regression vs round-1, which had no bracket pattern
to blind and so fell back to the correct heading (repro12 bracket row:
2/1/50 at round-1, 4/3/75 at HEAD).

Fixed by hoisting one tokenizeHeadings(content) call
(currentMilestoneHeadings) shared by computeSectionEnd and the
preambleCutoff scan, which now iterates that same fence-aware token
list instead of a raw regex. HeadingToken.text is already hash-stripped
and trimmed, so isBracketMilestoneBoundary needs no `^#{1,3}\s+`
re-derivation at this site (that spelling would not match h.text — a
note the round-2 review called out explicitly, confirmed while
porting). selectedBracketId stays `null` here, unchanged from the B1
commit's same-milestone-exclusion reasoning.

DISCLOSED, not fixed (explicitly out of scope per the round-2 review's
own minimal-fix note): the LEGACY (non-bracket) anyMilestonePattern
raw-match path shares the identical fence-blindness hazard and stays
byte-identical — a bracket repo whose preamble has a fenced
VERSION-BEARING heading still has the legacy raw-match win the
earliest-of-either min() (repro12's LEGACY control: 4/3/75, unchanged
across base/round-1/HEAD/this commit). Pinned here so a future reviewer
files this as a known, pre-existing gap rather than a new regression.

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 Blocker 3 round-2: preambleCutoff
is fence-aware (bracket branch only)" — RED-turned-GREEN for repro12's
bracket row and repro11's mechanism (fence balance + non-degraded
phaseCount + correct per-directory admission), a PIN for repro12's
LEGACY control (the disclosed gap, explicitly unchanged), and a PIN for
repro10 A3 (a fenced heading INSIDE the current section must still not
terminate it).

Full suite green (1072/1072 across the targeted adr-612 + roadmap-
parser + state + phase-id + markdown-sectionizer files); node
scripts/lint-phase-id-drift.cjs clean; eslint clean.

* fix(#2761): scope cmdStateSync's disk scan by milestone under bracket (Major 1)

Gate-2 adversarial review Major 1: `state sync` wrote a Progress
PERCENT computed from an UNFILTERED whole-disk scan, beside the
milestone-scoped total_phases/completed_phases it writes into the same
STATE.md via the refreshed frontmatter (syncStateFrontmatter ->
buildStateFrontmatter, which has always applied getMilestonePhaseFilter
for the READ path). cmdStateSync's own `fs.readdirSync` chain (the
WRITE-path scan) never called the milestone filter at all, unlike
buildStateFrontmatter's identical-purpose scan. One command therefore
wrote two contradictory numbers into one file: on the ADR-canonical
version-less bracket fixture (4 dirs, 3 complete; asserted milestone =
2 phases, both complete), base wrote total_phases:2/completed_phases:2
(correct, from the READ derivation) alongside body Progress 75% (wrong
— from the unfiltered WRITE derivation; repro3).

Fixed by threading `getMilestonePhaseFilter(cwd)` through the same
`.filter()` chain buildStateFrontmatter already applies, gated on
`syncConvention === 'bracket'` (falling back to a pass-all predicate
otherwise) — so totalDiskPlans/totalDiskSummaries/diskCompletedPhases/
syncTotalPhases become milestone-scoped under bracket, byte-identical
under legacy.

DEVIATION (approved, stated plainly): an earlier phrasing of this fix
called for mirroring buildStateFrontmatter's filter UNCONDITIONALLY.
Implemented GATED instead — an unconditional filter would ALSO move
every LEGACY repo's persisted percent, since the milestone-scoping-vs-
whole-disk divergence this closes is engine-wide, not bracket-specific.
The gate keeps legacy byte-identical, which is the binding constraint:
this is a bracket read-path PR, not a legacy behavior change.

Nit 2 (informational, no code change): 10 calls to
extractCurrentMilestone on a legacy repo cost 10 config.json
existsSync + 10 readFileSync (0 before B3); accepted, unmemoized cost,
unaffected by this commit.

Also folds in two minors from the round-2 review:
- Corrects .changeset/2761-bracket-read-tolerance.md: the sibling-
  exclusion sentence now states it holds at any heading level 1-3 and
  across a milestone split over two headings (true again now that
  Blockers 1 and 2 are fixed); the percent sentence states plainly that
  `state sync`'s body percent is now milestone-scoped under bracket,
  and unaffected under legacy.
- Records the read/write scoping divergence at currentMilestoneRawRanges
  (src/roadmap-parser.cts) in a comment: it did not receive B1/B2's
  bracket boundary fixes, currently harmless (its only consumer falls
  back to whole-content mutation, and every mutation there is still
  Phase-labelled-only, not bracket-widened), but live the moment the
  write path is bracket-widened — flagged so a future PR closes it in
  lockstep with that work, not after.

Tests: 6 pre-existing tests in tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs
needed fixture updates, not logic changes — they used the default
single directory (`GSD.02-01-setup`, phase "01"), which the SENTINEL/
retirement/mixed-heading fixtures in those tests never declare as a
real phase (only 04/05/06/999/etc are declared). Before this fix,
cmdStateSync's unfiltered scan counted that off-roadmap directory
anyway; after this fix the milestone filter correctly excludes it,
which for several of these fixtures made `state sync` a no-op (the
computed 0% coincided with STATE.md's initial template default) and
broke `syncedTotal()`/`syncedPercent()`'s ability to observe anything.
Updated each to pass an EXPLICIT directory naming one of the fixture's
REAL declared phases, preserving each test's original numerator/
denominator intent. One test — "shape 2 WRITE" — was substantively
rewritten: it was a CHARACTERIZATION of the Major 1 bug itself ("the
DISCLOSED legacy gap, mirrored — not closed"), and now correctly pins
bracket closing to 33% (agrees with the read path) while legacy stays
at the disclosed 60% (unchanged, deliberately, per the gating decision
above).

Full suite green: `npm test` 1449/1449 (0 fail, 0 skipped, 0 todo,
single-shard "all" run — includes issue-2765-brace-expansion-lockfile
passing); `npm run lint:ci` clean (0 errors; 2 pre-existing timing-

* fix(#2761): preambleCutoff identity is offset- and child-aware (round-3 Blocker 1)

Gate-2 round-3 re-verify Blocker 1 (NEW): the round-2 B1 deviation
(39c42a89) threaded `selectedBracketId` as the real value at
computeSectionEnd but as bare `null` at the preambleCutoff scan. The
deviation's rationale — "the selected heading's own occurrence is
always a correct earliest answer" — was right, but `null` disables the
same-milestone check for EVERY candidate, not just the selected one.
Any bracket-shaped heading earlier than the selected milestone was
accepted as a boundary regardless of identity: a same-id checklist/
overview heading preceding the version-bearing selected heading (cases
A, B — the version lands on the LATER half of a split, or a plain
overview heading with no "(Phase Details)" spelling), or a DIFFERENT-id
bracket-shaped PROSE heading with no children of its own sitting above
the current milestone's content (case D — `## [ADR.612] Heading
convention used by this roadmap`). In every case the region between
that false boundary and the real sectionStart was silently dropped —
a completed phase vanished and `state sync` persisted a confident 0%
where base and round-1 both correctly wrote 50%. Regression vs base
AND round-1 (not merely "under-fixed", per the round-3 review's own
severity note).

Fixed with two changes, both scoped to the preambleCutoff scan only
(computeSectionEnd already threads the real `selectedBracketId` and is
untouched):

(a) `h.offset === sectionStart` now bypasses BOTH the same-milestone
    check inside isBracketMilestoneBoundary (passing the REAL
    `selectedBracketId` for every other candidate) and the new child
    rule below — the selected heading's own position is definitionally
    the correct answer, so neither discriminator should run against it
    (rejecting it would mean rejecting the heading against ITSELF).
    Closes cases A and B — verified by the reviewer's own one-liner,
    reproduced here.

(b) New `bracketHeadingHasMatchingChild`: an otherwise-accepted
    candidate (bracket-shaped, not phase-tail-shaped, not the same id
    as the selected milestone) must ALSO have a next-strictly-deeper
    heading carrying its OWN bracket id to count as a boundary. This is
    what a genuine sibling milestone has (its own phase children share
    its bracket id — `## [GSD.01] Setup` / `### [GSD.01] 01: …`) and an
    unrelated bracket-shaped prose heading does not. A candidate with
    no such child at all (childless — e.g. an empty prior milestone, or
    one immediately followed by a same-or-shallower heading) degrades
    to NOT a boundary — over-inclusive, the safe direction: its own
    heading text stays in the preamble, contributing nothing to any
    phase count (not phase-shaped). Closes case D, which (a) alone does
    not — verified: without this rule, `[ADR.612]`'s prose heading is
    indistinguishable from a genuine prior sibling at this site.

As a side effect, also neutralizes Nit 2 (a colon-less `[GSD.02] 05`
heading spuriously terminating the preamble): a colon-less bracket
heading is not phase-tail-shaped so isBracketMilestoneBoundary alone
would accept it, but it is — precisely because it is malformed/
incomplete rather than a real milestone — childless, so the child rule
rejects it too. Pinned.

Known interaction with the fence-blind SELECTION path (disclosed by
the reviewer, not introduced here, tracked for the next commit): when
`sectionPattern` selects a FENCED version-bearing heading (an
extremely pathological shape — a fenced example whose text happens to
match STATE's asserted version), no token exists at `sectionStart`, so
the `h.offset === sectionStart` bypass never fires and the loop falls
through to the ordinary same-id / child-rule checks. This composes
with the round-3 Major 1 fix (next commit) rather than introducing a
new defect — SELECTION itself is untouched by any of this — but is
worth stating plainly rather than rediscovering.

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 Blocker 1 round-3: preambleCutoff
identity is offset- and child-aware" — RED-turned-GREEN for cases A, B
(rv-attack1) and D (rv-attack1b) with syncedTotal()/syncedPercent()
assertions (the persisted 0% is the point), a PIN for a genuine prior
sibling with real children (still excluded), a PIN for a childless
prior sibling (degrades to not-cutting, over-inclusive/safe), a PIN
for the colon-less Nit 2 shape, and the reviewer's rv-mech1 mechanism
re-run as a proper test (scope now equals the full input document,
phaseCount 2, both dirs accepted).

* fix(#2761): fence-aware version/emoji half of preambleCutoff on the bracket branch (round-3 Major 1)

Gate-2 round-3 re-verify Major 1 (NEW): ff6bf0a8 (round-2 Blocker 3)
made the BRACKET half of preambleCutoff's "earliest milestone-shaped
heading" search fence-aware, but left the VERSION/emoji half a raw
`content.match` even on the bracket branch. A fenced VERSION-BEARING
example heading in a bracket repo's preamble (ADR-612's own docs
illustrate the LEGACY heading shape exactly this way, inside a fenced
authoring-guide block) was still textually the earliest match for that
raw regex, winning the min() and un-suppressing a wrong persisted 75%
that base correctly suppressed (rv-attack3c fixture C1: base
suppressed the percent entirely — `isMilestoneBounded` false — HEAD
wrote 75% where truth is 50%).

Fixed by deriving the version/emoji half from the SAME fence-aware
`currentMilestoneHeadings` token list as the bracket half, on the
bracket branch only — the exact `/^Phase\s+\S/i` / `/v\d+\.\d+|✅|📋|🚧/i`
pair `computeSectionEnd` already uses against `h.text`. The non-bracket
(legacy) path is untouched: it keeps the raw `content.match`, byte-
identical to before, including its own fence-blindness (repro12's
LEGACY control, pinned unchanged in the round-2 Blocker-3 test block —
not re-pinned here to avoid duplicating an already-covered assertion).

Not rated Blocker (per the review) because it is not a regression vs
round-1 and the fixture (a version-BEARING fenced example in a bracket
repo) is rarer than the already-fixed bracket-heading case; still
fixed now rather than disclosed, per this arc's own precedent (every
prior "disclose instead of fix" call in this PR has been overturned on
re-review).

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 Major 1 round-3: preambleCutoff's
version/emoji half is fence-aware on the bracket branch" — RED-turned-
GREEN for case C1 (readTotal + syncedPercent, so the persisted 75% is
directly observed, not just the read-path total), PIN for case C2 (the
already-fixed fenced-bracket-heading shape, unchanged).

Targeted suite green: `node --test tests/adr-612-*.test.cjs

* chore(#2761): correct changeset claims + mark runtime-gated BASE_SITES row (round-3 minors)

Gate-2 round-3 re-verify Minor 2: three changeset sentences in
.changeset/2761-bracket-read-tolerance.md were overstated in a new
direction after round-2:

- The split-milestone claim ("across a milestone split over two
  headings") was true only when the version-bearing heading came
  FIRST (repro8 case 1); false when it came LATER (round-3 Blocker 1
  case A). Now restated to say plainly "with the version-bearing
  heading in EITHER position" — true again now that round-3's Blocker
  1 fix lands earlier in this range.
- The "counted from the phases... rather than from every directory on
  disk" claim was false on cases A/B/D (a strict subset of the
  milestone's own phases). Restated as "ALL of the phases... not a
  subset", and extended to state that an unrelated bracket-shaped
  heading with no phase children of its own (case D's `[ADR.612]`
  shape) does not truncate the milestone either — true now, not before.
- "Each widened read is SELECTED by the project's phase_id_convention"
  was literally false for BRACKET_PHASE_TAIL_RE, which is RUNTIME-gated
  (via its only caller, isBracketMilestoneBoundary, itself only
  consulted when bracketBoundaryActive) rather than selector-gated.
  Restated behaviourally: "every widened read ENGAGES only when the
  project's resolved phase_id_convention is bracket" — true for both
  gating mechanisms, so it no longer implies a selector call this site
  does not make.

Minor 1: the STRUCTURAL IDENTITY test's BASE_SITES row for
BRACKET_PHASE_TAIL_RE (added in the B2 commit) asserts a property of
`phaseHeadingPrefixSrcFor` — the function — not of the call site; it
would pass unchanged even if the site were deleted. Safety at that
specific site rests entirely on a runtime gate the test cannot see.
Added `runtimeGated: true` to the row and threaded it into the
generated test's own title (`… [runtime-gated, not selector-covered]`),
so the gating mechanism is visible in test OUTPUT, not only in a source
comment that could drift silently.

No production code changed. Targeted suite green (48/48 in the
affected file); `node scripts/changeset/lint.cjs` ok; eslint clean.

* fix(#2761): harden round-3 preamble cutoff — subtree child scan + level cap

Team-lead review of f87bba0e found two edges in the round-3 preamble-
cutoff code, both hardened here.

AMENDMENT 1 — bracketHeadingHasMatchingChild (2e06aef5) checked only
`headings[index + 1]`, the IMMEDIATE next heading, not the candidate's
whole subtree. A genuine prior sibling milestone whose section opens
with a non-bracket subsection before its first phase heading
(`## [GSD.01] Setup` / `### Notes` / `### [GSD.01] 01: Old`) was
therefore wrongly rejected as a boundary — its real phase heading sits
TWO headings deep, not one — leaking its entire section into the
preamble unstripped.

CONFIRMED RED, not merely theoretical (built and ran the fixture
against f87bba0e before touching the fix, per instruction): scope
membership DOES drive the disk-side filter on this shape.
`GSD.01-01-old`'s directory was wrongly admitted into the CURRENT
milestone's filter via the leaked heading's qualified key
(`GSD.01-01`) — 3/2/67% where truth is 2/1/50%.

Fixed by scanning the candidate's full SUBTREE: continue past a
non-matching deeper heading instead of returning false on the first
one; only a same-or-shallower heading actually closes the subtree and
yields "no match found". A candidate whose entire subtree closes with
no same-id hit (including a genuinely childless one) still degrades to
`false` — over-inclusive, safe, unchanged from before.

AMENDMENT 2 — c483552a ported the version/emoji half of preambleCutoff
to the token-based scan with no level cap; the raw
`content.match(anyMilestonePattern)` it replaced was anchored
`^#{1,3}\s+`. A level-4+ version-bearing heading in the preamble
(`#### v2.0 notes`) therefore won the scan on the bracket branch where
the raw pattern — and the legacy path, unaffected — ignores it
outright. Fixed with `if (h.level > 3) continue;`, mirroring the
depth-sanity cap isBracketMilestoneBoundary already applies to the
bracket half of this same scan.

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 round-3 hardening: subtree child
scan + level cap on preambleCutoff" —
- RED-turned-GREEN for the Notes-intervening fixture: exact 2/1/50 (was
  3/2/67), plus the disk-filter observable (`GSD.01-01-old` now
  correctly excluded).
- PIN for the level-4 preamble heading: the scope now PRESERVES the
  heading's text (was silently dropped before this fix — harmless in
  this minimal fixture's total_phases specifically, since the dropped
  text carries no phase-shaped content, but a real correctness gap
  against the raw pattern's own ceiling) — asserted via scope content,
  not total_phases, since that number is invariant here either way.
- PIN for the LEGACY control on the same level-4 shape — unchanged,
  confirming the raw content.match path is untouched.

Re-verified the existing genuine-prior-sibling and childless-sibling
pins (round-3 Blocker 1 commit) still pass under the subtree scan —
both fixtures' outcomes are unchanged since their same-id hit (or its
absence) was already at the first deeper heading.

Targeted suite green: `node --test tests/adr-612-*.test.cjs
tests/roadmap-parser.test.cjs tests/state.test.cjs tests/verify.test.cjs`
-> 942/942 pass (939 + 3 new). node scripts/lint-phase-id-drift.cjs

lint:ci` deferred to the team lead's own run per instruction.

* fix(#2761): bracketHeadingHasMatchingChild requires a same-id PHASE child (round-4 Blocker 1)

Gate-2 round-4 re-verify Blocker 1 (NEW): the round-3 hardening's
subtree scan (fbfd0fca) proved SAME-ID-NESS but never asked whether
the matching child was PHASE-shaped. Case F1 re-opens round-3's case D
one heading later: `## [ADR.612] Heading convention` is followed by
its OWN sub-heading `### [ADR.612] Examples` — same bracket id as the
candidate, but MILESTONE-shaped (a name, no digit-then-colon), not a
phase. Same-id-ness alone satisfied the subtree scan and re-cut the
preamble at exactly the shape the round-3 hardening was written to
close.

Failing input: `## [ADR.612] Heading convention` / `### [ADR.612]
Examples` (prose) / `### [GSD.02] 01: One` (the current milestone's
own first phase, now unreachable) / `## [GSD.02] v2.0: Foundation` /
`### [GSD.02] 02: Two`. Truth 2/1/50. HEAD read 1/0/0, and `state sync`
reported "nothing to do" (exit 0, `{synced:true,changes:[]}`) because
its wrong 0% happened to equal the STATE.md seed — a half-done
milestone read as untouched with no write-path signal at all.

Fixed with the reviewer's one-conjunct addition: a same-id child only
counts if it is ALSO phase-tail-shaped (`BRACKET_PHASE_TAIL_RE`) — the
same single-owner discriminator `isBracketMilestoneBoundary` already
uses one level up for the identical distinction (phase vs milestone),
reused here rather than re-derived. This is exactly what the
changeset's own wording already claimed ("no phase children of its
own") — the code now matches the sentence rather than the other way
around.

Docstring updated at the function itself: the rule is "same-id PHASE
child", not "same-id child".

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 round-4 Blocker 1: the same-id
child must be PHASE-shaped" — RED-turned-GREEN for F1 with
syncedTotal()/syncedPercent() (the persisted 0% — and the
report-nothing-to-do write-path silence — is the point), PINs for F11
(colon-less same-id child) and F11b (bullet-only phase list): both
correctly stay excluded either way, and the leak the phase-shape
requirement newly creates for these two shapes is INERT — a colon-less
heading forms no qualified key (getMilestonePhaseFilter's own
phase-heading pattern requires the colon too) and a bracket bullet
never matches the legacy-only BULLET_PHASE_LINE_PATTERN — confirmed
directly via getMilestonePhaseFilter, not merely inferred. Re-verified
the four existing child-rule pins (F2 subtree-closure, F3 deep-nested
same-id, F4 level-4 same-id, F5 childless-at-EOF) are unaffected by the
phase-shape requirement, since every one of them already used a
colon-bearing same-id child.

Targeted suite green: `node --test tests/adr-612-*.test.cjs
tests/roadmap-parser.test.cjs tests/state.test.cjs tests/verify.test.cjs`
-> 946/946 pass (942 + 4 new). Zero drift measured across the full F1-F12
corpus except F1 itself (F9/F10/F12 remain red, deferred to the

* fix(#2761): fence-aware phase counting, milestone bounding, and bracket-fallback selection (round-4 Major 1)

Gate-2 round-4 re-verify Major 1 (NEW): roadmapPhaseCount is a
fence-blind raw `.exec()` over the scope string, duplicated in TWO
independent copies (buildStateFrontmatter's read path, cmdStateSync's
write path). With the bracket alternative now compiled into it (#612),
a fenced EXAMPLE phase heading in the preamble inflates total_phases
and persists a wrong percent that base got right. Two further
fence-blind sites participate: isMilestoneBounded (a raw
`.test(roadmapRaw)`) and the bracket-fallback SELECTOR inside
extractCurrentMilestone (a raw `content.matchAll`, only reachable when
version-string selection finds nothing).

Failing inputs:
- F10 (clean isolate, version-bearing selection): a fenced
  `### [GSD.02] 05: Example phase` in the preamble inflates
  total_phases 2->3, persisting 33% where truth is 50%. LEGACY control
  on the same shape is correct on every build — not a pre-existing
  hazard being inherited, bracket-only.
- F9 (version-less selection): a fenced example carrying the project's
  OWN milestone id additionally confuses the bracket-fallback selector
  (the fenced heading gets SELECTED), compounding with the same
  fence-blind counter. base suppressed the percent; round-1 and HEAD
  both wrote 33%.
- F12 (isMilestoneBounded isolate): the ONLY `[GSD.02]` heading in the
  document is inside a fence, and the asserted milestone genuinely has
  no section at all — HEAD persisted 67% where base correctly
  suppressed the percent (the milestone is absent from the roadmap).

Fixed at the CONSUMER level, not the producer — extractCurrentMilestone's
returned scope string is deliberately UNCHANGED, since every other
consumer of that string needs its full content fidelity and legacy
identity forbids touching the shared string (this branch's own
precedent, ff6bf0a8/c483552a, was producer-level; here the ruling is
consumer-level because the string is shared far more broadly than the
two round-3 fixes' narrower producer edits):

(a) New `countRoadmapPhaseHeadings` (src/state.cts, immediately above
    extractRetiredPhaseNumbers) — ONE shared implementation for both
    call sites, replacing two independently-maintained copies. BRACKET
    convention counts via `tokenizeHeadings(scope)` at levels 2-4,
    testing each heading's hash-stripped text directly — fence-aware by
    construction, since tokenizeHeadings never produces a token for a
    fenced line. LEGACY convention keeps the exact pre-existing raw
    `.exec()` loop, byte-for-byte. A pre-existing, deliberately
    PRESERVED asymmetry between the two original call sites — the read
    path always excluded a bare `/^999\b/` token, the write path never
    did — is threaded through as an explicit
    `includeUnconditional999Check` parameter per call site, so sharing
    the implementation does not silently unify (and thereby move)
    either total.
(b) isMilestoneBounded's bracket branch now scans
    `tokenizeHeadings(roadmapRaw)` for a matching heading (level <= 3)
    instead of a raw regex test. Legacy version-string branch untouched.
(c) The bracket-fallback SELECTOR now builds its candidate set from
    `tokenizeHeadings(content)` instead of `content.matchAll`,
    reconstructing a match-shaped array so every downstream consumer of
    `headingMatches` sees the identical shape the raw-regex path always
    produced. This is the ONE site in this entire arc where SELECTION
    itself changes — selection SEMANTICS are otherwise unchanged (same
    pattern, same first-match-wins by document order); only the
    candidate set is now fence-aware. Pinned that unfenced selection is
    byte-identical.

Zero drift measured across the full historical corpus (repro2-13,
rv-attack1/1b/3c, rv-mech1, rv2-amend1/2, and F1-F11b) except the three
target fixtures.

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 round-4 Major 1: four fence-blind
sites on the bracket path" — RED-turned-GREEN for F10 (with
syncedTotal()/syncedPercent()) and F9 (both layers), PINs for F10's
LEGACY control and F10c (non-phase-shaped fence, unaffected either
way), RED-turned-GREEN for F12 (asserts the percent KEY is absent from
`state json`'s output and that `state sync`'s body stays at its
unmodified seed — the persisted-suppression signal, not merely a
total_phases number), and an explicit PIN that unfenced bracket-fallback
selection (first real milestone-shaped heading wins, no fences
involved) is unaffected.

* chore(#2761): correct docstring overstatement + stale consumer-count sentence (round-4 minors)

Gate-2 round-4 re-verify Minor 1 + Nit 1. No production code changed.

Minor 1: bracketHeadingHasMatchingChild's own docstring said a
rejected (no-same-id-PHASE-child) candidate's degrade "contributes
nothing to any phase count" — true of the candidate's OWN heading
text, but not of its SUBTREE, which is what actually stays in the
preamble. F7 (`## [GSD.01] Setup` / `### [GSD.07] 01: Foreign`) shows
a DIFFERENT-id bracket PHASE heading inside a rejected candidate's
subtree DOES form a qualified key and CAN admit a foreign directory —
3/2/67%, stable across base, round-1 and HEAD (base via its own
pass-all degrade). Not a regression, still the declared over-inclusive
/ never-under-inclusive safe direction — the comment now says that,
with F7's numbers cited, at the call site that actually decides
`isBoundary` (roadmap-parser.cts's preambleCutoff loop) rather than
only at the helper's own definition.

Minor 2 (changeset) — VERIFIED, no wording change needed: re-ran F1,
F9, F10, F12 at this HEAD. The "no phase children of its own... does
not truncate it either" sentence (naming the `[ADR.612]` shape
directly) is now literally true — F1 reads 2/1/50. The "counted from
ALL of the phases... not a subset" sentence is now true on every
measured shape — F1/F9/F10 all read 2/1/50, F12 correctly suppresses
the percent. No carve-out for F9/F10 is needed since round-4 Major 1
(3be5c412) closes both; per the fix-round instruction to "only carve
out anything genuinely left," nothing is.

Nit 1: tests/adr-612-bracket-heading-selection.test.cjs's runtimeGated
row claimed `BRACKET_HEADING_INTRO_RE` has "no other consumers" — true
when round-3's f87bba0e wrote it, stale since 2e06aef5 (round-3's own
earlier commit) had already added two more uses inside
bracketHeadingHasMatchingChild. Corrected to state the true count
(three consumers) and re-confirm the conclusion is unaffected: all
three are still nested inside the same bracketBoundaryActive runtime
gate, and BRACKET_HEADING_INTRO_RE is built from BRACKET_ID_SRC, not
phaseHeadingPrefixSrcFor, so it was never a selector site regardless of
consumer count.

Targeted suite green: `node --test tests/adr-612-*.test.cjs
tests/roadmap-parser.test.cjs tests/state.test.cjs tests/verify.test.cjs`
-> 952/952 pass (comment-only changes, no count movement). eslint

* fix(#2761): restore the bracketId guard in countRoadmapPhaseHeadings (round-5 Blocker 1)

Gate-2 round-5 re-verify Blocker 1 (NEW, introduced by 3be5c412): the
merge that created the shared countRoadmapPhaseHeadings helper dropped
the `bracketId && ` guard both original inline loops carried before
calling isSentinelPhaseId. Every other isSentinelPhaseId call site in
src/ (roadmap-parser.cts, roadmap.cts, validate.cts x2, verify.cts)
keeps the guard; state.cts's shared counter was the only one of seven
without it.

When the phase-heading-intro grammar's LEGACY alternative matches (a
`### Phase 00:` heading in a `phase_id_convention: "bracket"` repo —
the mid-migration shape this PR exists for), the bracket capture group
is `undefined`, so the unguarded call became
`isSentinelPhaseId("undefined-00", 'bracket')` — measured TRUE, so
phase 00 (and 000, 0a, 0.5, 999.1 — any token whose splice with the
literal string "undefined" happens to fall in a sentinel range) was
silently dropped from the denominator. `getMilestonePhaseFilter` (which
still carries its own guard) counts the phase and admits its directory
regardless, so the filter and the counter disagree — a half-done
milestone reads as 100% complete, persisted.

One-line fix, restoring the guard every sibling call site already has:

    if (bracketId && isSentinelPhaseId(`${bracketId}-${token}`, 'bracket')) continue;

Line count: `git diff --stat src/state.cts` -> 1 file changed, 1
insertion(+), 1 deletion(-).

* fix(#2761): extractRetiredPhaseNumbers is fence-aware on the bracket path (round-5 Major 1)

Gate-2 round-5 re-verify Major 1 (NEW) — a FIFTH fence-blind site on
the bracket path, missed by 3be5c412's own enumeration of "four".
extractRetiredPhaseNumbers' line scan (`scope.split(/\r?\n/)`) has no
fence awareness. This PR compiles the bracket alternative into
`introSrc` ("the retirement filter has to widen with the counter it
protects" — the function's own pre-existing comment), so a FENCED
authoring EXAMPLE showing the #1514 retirement gesture in bracket
spelling is now indistinguishable from a real one: it retires a
genuine phase, shrinking the denominator and persisting a confident
100% where base correctly read 50%.

Fixed with the SAME consumer-level ruling this arc has used at every
other fence-blind site, reusing markdown-sectionizer's existing
exported `stripFencedCode` rather than hand-rolling a second fence
parser (single-owner rule) — retirement lines are BULLETS, not
headings, so `tokenizeHeadings` doesn't serve here; `stripFencedCode`
is the general-purpose fence stripper the tokenizer itself is built on.
Gated on `convention === 'bracket'`; the LEGACY line scan stays the raw
`scope` string, byte-identical — its own fenced-example hazard is
pre-existing (wrong at base too) and out of scope.

Line count: `git diff --stat src/state.cts` -> 1 file changed, 9
insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) — one import added, four lines inside
the function (a comment + the `scanScope` computation + the changed
`.split()` call).

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 round-5 Major 1:
extractRetiredPhaseNumbers is fence-aware on the bracket path" —
RED-turned-GREEN for G2 (fenced example in the preamble) and G2b (the
same example placed INSIDE the milestone section, ruling out a
preamble-scoping artifact — the site itself was fence-blind wherever
the fence sits), PIN for the LEGACY control (unchanged, pre-existing,
out of scope — base is wrong on this shape too).

Also folds in the "four fence-blind sites" correction: 3be5c412's
commit message and any restatement of it should read FIVE going
forward; this commit's own message states the count correctly.

* fix(#2761): state sync's counter excludes the bracket 999 icebox token (round-5 Major 2)

Gate-2 round-5 re-verify Major 2 (NEW) — `includeUnconditional999Check`
left `state json` and `state sync` reporting different totals for one
bracket repo. Under bracket, READING-B puts the sentinel in the
bracket, so `isSentinelPhaseId("GSD.02-999", 'bracket')` is false —
the `/^999\b/` TOKEN rule is the only thing excluding a
`### [GSD.02] 999:` icebox heading, and it ran on the read path
(buildStateFrontmatter, `true`) and on getMilestonePhaseFilter
(unconditional), but not on cmdStateSync's own counter (`false`). One
`state sync` call could leave a single STATE.md with its own
frontmatter (percent 50, from the read-path re-sync inside
writeStateMd) and body (percent 33, from the write-path counter that
alone still counted the icebox heading) disagreeing — falsifying this
PR's own stated invariant that sharing countRoadmapPhaseHeadings made
"the two counters must see the same phases" structural.

Functional change is one argument, exactly as specified: the write
call site now passes `syncConvention === 'bracket'` instead of the
literal `false`. `syncConvention === 'bracket'` is `false` for every
non-bracket value, so the LEGACY path resolves to the exact same
`false` it always did — this file's own pre-existing, deliberately-
unchanged read/write divergence on that path is untouched. The READ
site (`:1860`) is NOT touched — its historical behaviour applied
`/^999\b/` to legacy and bracket alike, so changing it would move
legacy READ totals, exactly the class of mistake this arc's own
Blocker 1 (this round) was.

Line count: the functional change is ONE argument
(`false` -> `syncConvention === 'bracket'`); the surrounding comment
was rewritten because the previous one asserted the now-superseded
behaviour ("preserving this file's pre-existing... divergence... a
bare 999 token is not excluded here") and leaving it would mislead the
next reader — not a structural change.

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 round-5 Major 2: state sync
excludes the bracket 999 icebox token like the read path" —
RED-turned-GREEN for G1, asserting `state sync`'s body percent equals
`state json`'s own percent (both 50, not 33 vs 50), PIN for G1's
legacy control (33 vs 50 unchanged, deliberately).

Targeted suite green: `node --test tests/adr-612-*.test.cjs

* chore(#2761): restore indent parity at the two line-start-anchored bracket-heading reconstructions (round-5 Minor 1)

`HeadingToken.offset` (tokenizeHeadings) is the LINE-START character offset,
not necessarily the `#` character's own offset — a ≤3-space-indented ATX
heading has both. Two round-4 reconstructions built on tokenizeHeadings
inherited this gap and accepted indented headings their raw, line-start-
anchored predecessors (`^#{1,3}\s+\[...`) never matched:

  1. roadmap-parser.cts's bracket-fallback SELECTOR (extractCurrentMilestone,
     ~line 377) — an indented, version-less `[GSD.02]` milestone heading
     could be reconstructed into headingMatches, then mis-parsed downstream
     (selectedBracketId null, level fallback to 1), leaking a SIBLING
     milestone's phases into the counted scope (G6: HEAD read 3/2/67 instead
     of 2/1/50 — a real phase heading's own directory belonging to the NEXT
     milestone got counted).

  2. state.cts's isMilestoneBounded (~line 1571) — the same gap let an
     indented-only `[GSD.02]`-shaped heading wrongly bound a milestone
     absent from the roadmap, un-suppressing a percent that should stay
     suppressed (mirrors round-4's F12 fenced-only case, but via indentation
     instead of a fence).

Fix: one added conjunct per site — `content[h.offset] === '#'` (source-named
`roadmapRaw` in state.cts) — filtering to tokens whose LINE-START offset IS
the `#` character, i.e. exactly the set the raw line-start-anchored regex
would ever have matched. Restores byte-for-byte raw parity; no other logic
in either function changes. computeSectionEnd and the preamble version/
emoji-token scan are untouched, as instructed — they consumed tokenizeHeadings
output before this arc and are out of scope here.

Also corrects roadmap-parser.cts's now-provably-false docstring claim that
`h.offset` is unconditionally "the same `#`-character coordinate space
`content.match().index` used" — true only for the survivors of the new
filter, not for every token tokenizeHeadings produces.

Line count: the FUNCTIONAL change is exactly 2 lines (one added `&&` conjunct
per call site — `git diff --stat` on the two source files shows 20
insertions/7 deletions, but only those 2 lines change behavior; the rest is
docstring/comment rationale, per this round's "state the line count" ask).

TDD: both fixtures verified RED at HEAD before this commit, GREEN after,
via /tmp/pr612rev/rv5-attack.cjs G6 and a locally-authored isMilestoneBounded-
isolating probe (G6 alone doesn't distinguish the two sites — its unindented
phase headings already satisfy isMilestoneBounded's loose prefix regex
either way, so a second, indentation-only fixture was needed to prove that
site's fix is not a no-op; verified by temporarily reverting just that one
conjunct, confirming 100%-wrongly-bounded RED, then restoring it, confirming
suppressed-percent GREEN).

New tests (adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs):
  - RED (G6): indented version-less bracket milestone heading — 2/1/50, not
    the pinned-before-fix 3/2/67.
  - PIN (G6c unindented control): identical document, no indent — 2/1/50
    unaffected on every build.
  - RED (isMilestoneBounded site, indented-ONLY): mirrors round-4's F12
    shape (fenced-ONLY → indented-ONLY) — percent stays suppressed instead
    of the pinned-before-fix wrongly-bounded 100%.

Full G1-G10 (rv5-attack.cjs) + G2b/G3c/G3d/G6c (rv5b.cjs) re-verified
zero-drift against TRUTH after this change. Targeted suite (adr-612-*,
roadmap-parser, state, verify): 962 -> 965 (+3), 0 fail.

* chore(#2761): changeset discloses counting-set narrowing + correct stale consumer-count sentence (round-5 minors)

FIX 5 (Minor 2): .changeset/2761-bracket-read-tolerance.md did not disclose
that bracket phase-heading counting is narrower than the raw-regex
predecessor in two ways the review's G4/G5 fixtures surfaced: a level-5
heading (`##### [GSD.02] 05: ...`) is no longer counted (the counter's
tokenizeHeadings scan caps at level 4, matching the selector/isMilestoneBounded
ceiling), and a space-less heading (`###[GSD.02] 05: ...`) is no longer
counted (CommonMark requires ≥1 space/tab after the hashes, which
tokenizeHeadings correctly enforces and the old raw regex did not). Both
G4 and G5 moved from round-1's wrong (inflated) values back to base's
original values as an incidental side effect of routing through
tokenizeHeadings — never a deliberate feature of this PR, and previously
undocumented. One clause added to the existing run-on paragraph; no other
wording in the changeset touched.

FIX 6 (Nit 1): tests/adr-612-bracket-heading-selection.test.cjs:76 —
`BRACKET_PHASE_TAIL_RE` has TWO consumers as of round-4's 65d257ce
(isBracketMilestoneBoundary's own use, plus bracketHeadingHasMatchingChild's
same-id-PHASE-child conjunct), not the "no other consumers" the comment
claimed. Same correction pattern round-4 already applied to this row's
BRACKET_HEADING_INTRO_RE neighbor (that sentence's own staleness was fixed
in 4d7184b8): note the true consumer count, confirm both stay nested inside
the same bracketBoundaryActive runtime gate (verified at
src/roadmap-parser.cts:178 and :250, both reached only through the
`if (bracketBoundaryActive)` block starting at :529), and record which
commit and which fix introduced the drift. Comment-only; no assertion
logic changed.

Line count: 2 files, 8 insertions / 2 deletions total — one added clause
in the changeset (1 line changed) and one comment block replacing the
single stale line in the test file (6 comment lines replacing 1).

Verified: targeted suite (adr-612-*, roadmap-parser, state, verify)
unchanged at 965/965 pass (comment/prose-only diffs, no test count change).
`node scripts/changeset/lint.cjs` and `npx eslint` on the touched files both
clean.

* fix(#2761): restore the bracketId guard on the bracket-only /^0\b/ sibling rule (round-6 Blocker 1)

Round-5's Blocker 1 was `isSentinelPhaseId("undefined-00")` — the merge
that introduced the shared counter dropped the `bracketId &&` guard on the
sentinel check. This is the identical failure one line further down, in the
sibling rule this PR itself added: when the phase-heading grammar's LEGACY
alternative matches (`### Phase 0:` in a `phase_id_convention: "bracket"`
repo — the mid-migration shape this PR exists for), `bracketId` is
`undefined`, and the unguarded `/^0\b/` fires on the bare token anyway.
Neither the LEGACY branch of this same function nor
`getMilestonePhaseFilter` has a `/^0\b/` rule at all, so the filter counts
the phase and admits its completed directory while the counter refuses to
count its heading — a milestone with an unstarted phase 02 persists as a
confident 100%.

`/^0\b/` matches `0` and `0.5` (word boundary before the `.`) but not `00`
(no boundary between the two zeros), which is exactly why round-5's G3/G3d
fixtures (`### Phase 00:`) never tripped this one — same defect class,
different token spelling.

Fix: one word, mirroring the guard round 5 restored two lines above —
`if (/^0\b/.test(token)) continue;` -> `if (bracketId && /^0\b/.test(token)) continue;`.

Expected and intentional side effect: `roadmap analyze` and `state json`
now disagree again on this bracket-repo shape (analyze phase_count=2, json
total_phases=3) — exactly as they already do under the legacy convention
today (verified via /tmp/pr612rev/rv6c.cjs on both conventions). That is
the counter regaining agreement with `getMilestonePhaseFilter` (the tighter
constraint — it is what actually decides `completed_phases`), not a new
break; the counter/filter disagreement is what was wrong.

Out of scope, deliberately NOT fixed here (Minor 1, disclosed via a PIN
test only): the bracket-SPELLED `### [GSD.02] 0:` shape has the same
counter/filter disagreement, but reads 2/2/100 on base too — never closed
by any build in this arc, so it is a pre-existing gap rather than a
regression this commit could introduce.

Line count: src/state.cts is exactly 1 insertion / 1 deletion (one word,
`bracketId && ` prepended to the existing condition).

TDD: T0 (`Phase 0:`) and T05 (`Phase 0.5:`) verified RED at HEAD before this
commit (json 2/2/100, sync body 100%) via /tmp/pr612rev/rv6b.cjs, GREEN
after (3/2/67 on both derivations, matching TRUTH). Zero-drift verified by
diffing the FULL corpus (rv5-attack, rv5b, rv4-attack, rv-attack1,
rv-attack1b, rv-attack3c, rv-mech1, rv2-amend1, rv2-amend2, rv6-attack
H1-H19, rv6b) between a pre-fix and post-fix build: the only differing
lines in the entire diff are T0, T05, and H14 — the three target fixtures.

New tests (adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs):
  - RED (T0) + PIN (T0L legacy control)
  - RED (T05) + PIN (T05L legacy control)
  - PIN (B0, bracket-spelled `0` — base-parity characterization, Minor 1,
    not fixed this round)
  Round-5's own G3 test (`### Phase 00:`) already serves as the T00 pin —
  `/^0\b/` never matched `00`, so it is unaffected and untouched.

Targeted suite (adr-612-*, roadmap-parser, state, verify): 965 -> 970 (+5),
0 fail. `lint-phase-id-drift.cjs` and `npx eslint` on touched files clean.

* chore(#2761): changeset re-attributes the phase-count level cap + discloses the bare-0 carve-out; correct two stale test comments (round-6 Minor 1 + Nits)

FIX 2 (Minor 1 — disclosure only, NOT a code fix): the bracket-SPELLED
`### [GSD.02] 0:` / `0.5:` shape has the same counter/filter disagreement
round-6's Blocker fixed for the legacy spelling, but it reads 2/2/100 on
BASE too — never closed by any build in this arc, so it is a pre-existing
gap rather than a regression this round could introduce. Two changes:

  - Pinned as a base-parity characterization: new PIN test (B0) in
    04b5a95f's describe block asserting the exact unchanged value with a
    comment stating why it's deliberately not touched.
  - .changeset/2761-bracket-read-tolerance.md: one qualifying clause added
    to the "counted from ALL of the phases … not a subset" sentence — a
    bare `0`/`0.x` phase token (however spelled) keeps `roadmap analyze`'s
    own pre-existing sentinel reading under bracket too, so it stays
    excluded from these counts. Carried over, not newly introduced by this
    PR — `roadmap analyze` has always read it this way.

FIX 3(a) — same changeset paragraph misattributed the phase counter's
2-4 level cap to "the milestone-boundary machinery in this PR" (the
selector, `isMilestoneBounded`, the preamble scan) — that machinery caps
at `###` (level ≤3), not 2-4. The 2-4 cap belongs to
`getMilestonePhaseFilter`'s own phase scan. Re-pointed the attribution;
the paragraph's earlier, correct ≤3 claim (selector/isMilestoneBounded)
is untouched.

FIX 3(b) — tests/adr-612-bracket-heading-selection.test.cjs:76-82 (added by
1395bd89, round-5's own Nit-1 correction) claimed both
`BRACKET_PHASE_TAIL_RE` consumers are reached "only through the
`if (bracketBoundaryActive)` block starting at :529". Verified at HEAD:
`bracketHeadingHasMatchingChild` is (only caller :593, inside that block).
`isBracketMilestoneBoundary` is not — it has two callers, an inline
`bracketBoundaryActive &&` conjunct at `:473` (inside `computeSectionEnd`)
and the `:529` block at `:567` — the very fact this row's own earlier
"exactly two callers" paragraph already stated correctly. Corrected the
mechanism claim; the CONCLUSION (every consumer is still gated on the same
flag) is unchanged, exactly as round-5's own Nit-1 fix left round-4's
conclusion unchanged when it corrected the consumer count.

FIX 3(c) — tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs:2311,2340 still
said "four fence-blind sites" after round-5 (357ba671) added a fifth
(the retirement scan) in its own block below. Reworded both the section
comment and the `describe()` label to read as historical scoping of
round-4's own fix ("the four sites known at round 4 … a fifth was found at
round 5, see its own block below") rather than a live exhaustive claim.

Line count: 3 files, changeset 1/1, heading-selection test 17/8,
phase-counting test 6/2 (comment/prose-only; B0's own PIN test landed in
04b5a95f alongside T0/T05 since it was investigated as part of that same
Blocker's defect class, not in this commit — noted here for the record).

Verified: targeted suite (adr-612-*, roadmap-parser, state, verify)
unchanged at 970/970 (comment/prose-only diffs, no test count change).
`npx eslint` and `node scripts/changeset/lint.cjs` both clean.

* fix(#2761): W021's bracket remediation hint stops pointing at a command that hard-errors (round-7 Minor 2)

`checkBracketCoherence`'s W021 (added by 94abf5df) attached the fix hint
`Run \`gsd-tools roadmap upgrade --convention bracket\` to migrate
(dry-run by default)` to every bracket-convention W021 — both sub-checks
(`missing-bracket` and `mismatch`) share the single `addIssue` call at
src/verify.cts:2255-2256. But `roadmap-command-router.cts:204` throws
unconditionally for any `--convention` value other than
`milestone-prefixed`:

  $ gsd-tools roadmap upgrade --convention bracket
  Error: Only --convention milestone-prefixed is supported

This contradicts the PR's own two disclosures: the changeset ("`bracket`
is a READ-path opt-in until the migrator and write path land") and
docs/CONFIGURATION.md:188 ("There is no bracket migrator and no bracket
emit yet"). Reachability is the exact mid-migration repo this PR targets —
any bracket project with one un-migrated heading gets an unfollowable
instruction on every `validate health`.

Fix: one string. Replaced the hint with what a user can actually do today —
manually align the heading's bracket milestone to its section — and named
the tracked future landing (#612 PR-3) instead of a command that errors.
The milestone-prefixed sibling hint at src/verify.cts:2240 (a different,
already-functional convention/command pair — verified against
roadmap-command-router.cts:65) is untouched.

Line count: src/verify.cts is exactly 1 insertion / 1 deletion (one string
literal).

No test in the suite previously asserted this string's content
(`grep -rn "upgrade --convention bracket" tests/` was empty), so the
unfollowable hint shipped unpinned — `lint-fix-has-regression-test.cjs`
would not have caught a string-only change without a new test. Added one:
asserts the fix string both (a) does not match `--convention bracket`
(the specific pinned-before-this-fix hazard) and (b) equals the new string
exactly, covering the invariant a future edit must not re-break: no
unsupported `--convention` value named in remediation text users are
expected to run verbatim.

Verified end-to-end (not just unit-level) via /tmp/pr612rev/rv7f.cjs: the
W021 issue's `fix` field now reads the new string; `gsd-tools roadmap
upgrade --convention bracket` (and its --dry-run variant) still correctly
hard-error — that command remains unsupported, only the hint text changed.

Targeted suite (adr-612-*, roadmap-parser, state, verify): 970 -> 971 (+1),
0 fail. `lint-phase-id-drift.cjs` clean; `npx eslint` on touched files:
0 errors (1 pre-existing unrelated no-elapsed-assertion warning, same file,
same line this arc's prior rounds already disclosed).

* chore(#2761): correct the bare-0 changeset disclosure + disclose W021's second sub-check (round-7 Minor 1 + Nit 1)

FIX 1 (Minor 1) — round-6's bare-0 changeset clause (1395bd89) was wrong in
three falsifiable ways:

  (a) Its own illustration (`### Phase 0:`) is exactly the LEGACY spelling
      04b5a95f made COUNTED. The residual exclusion after that fix applies
      only to the BRACKET-spelled token (`### [GSD.02] 0:`) — the clause
      named the wrong shape as its example.
  (b) "excluded from these counts" over-scoped the carve-out. The phase-0
      directory is admitted into `completed_phases`/`total_plans` in BOTH
      spellings (measured: B0 at HEAD has `completed_phases=2`,
      `accepts {"GSD.02-0-bootstrap":true}`). The exclusion that survives
      lives in `total_phases`/`phase_count` (heading counting) only.
  (c) The pre-existing "so `roadmap analyze` and `state json` report the
      same number" sentence (present since before this arc's bracket work)
      is now false for the bare-0 LEGACY-spelled shape: 04b5a95f's own
      commit message discloses this exact re-divergence as expected —
      `roadmap analyze` phase_count=2 vs `state json` total_phases=3 on T0
      — matching the disagreement legacy already carries today. The
      changeset still asserted unconditional agreement.

Rewrote both sentences: dropped the `### Phase 0:` example, scoped the
carve-out to `total_phases`/`phase_count`, named the bracket-spelled token
as the one that keeps analyze's sentinel reading, stated plainly that the
legacy-spelled form in a bracket repo IS counted (the mid-migration guard),
and qualified the "report the same number" claim to the `999` token, with
the bare-0 legacy-spelled shape named as the one exception and why.

FIX 3 (Nit 1) — `checkBracketCoherence` has always had two sub-checks
(its own docstring: "Two sub-checks, both surfaced as W021") but both the
changeset and docs/CONFIGURATION.md:188 described only the `mismatch`
sub-check. The `missing-bracket` sub-check — which fires on every
legacy-spelled heading in a bracket repo, the noisier of the two on a
mid-migration project — was undisclosed in both places. One clause added
to each.

Line count: 2 files, 1 line changed each (both are single-paragraph/
single-row files; git diff --stat reports 1/1 per file though several
distinct clauses were edited within that one line each).

Verified: `node scripts/changeset/lint.cjs` clean. Targeted suite
(adr-612-*, roadmap-parser, state, verify) unchanged at 971/971
(prose-only diffs, no test count change, no code touched).

* chore(#2761): resolvePhaseIdConvention's docstring no longer claims loadConfig drops the key

Upstream #2997 (aa7697fe, landed in `next` during this PR's final
verification) added `phase_id_convention: get('phase_id_convention') ?? null`
to `_baseConfig` in config-loader.cts — `loadConfig` now surfaces
`phase_id_convention` in its resolved config. This function's docstring
gave "loadConfig merges against CONFIG_DEFAULTS and drops keys it does not
know, and `phase_id_convention` is not among them" as the reason for
reading config.json directly instead of calling `loadConfig(cwd)`. That
rationale is now stale against live `next`.

Corrected the comment to state the two reasons that actually survive #2997:

  1. The workstream->root federation this function performs is a standalone
     resolution run against a GIVEN cwd, not necessarily the same base a
     `loadConfig(cwd)` call elsewhere in the codebase would federate from.
  2. Convention-ENUM validation is still #612 PR-4 work — this function
     returns the raw string unvalidated, exactly as the now-surfaced
     resolved key would.

Noted that #2997 surfacing the key makes consuming it from resolved config
(instead of re-reading config.json here) a natural PR-4 consolidation —
not this PR's scope. The "cycles were never the obstacle" close and every
other paragraph in the docstring (federation rationale, SCOPE note) are
untouched; they still hold.

Comment-only — no code behavior changed. This worktree's own history does
not contain aa7697fe (git merge-base --is-ancestor confirms neither branch
is an ancestor of the other; not rebasing per instruction), so this is a
textual correction against a documented external fact, not a functional
sync with upstream.

* fix(#2761): resolve phase_id_convention against the caller's workstream

`resolvePhaseIdConvention` took no workstream, so it resolved from
`planningDir(cwd)` — which falls back to `GSD_WORKSTREAM` only when its `ws`
argument is `undefined`. Every caller that passes a workstream by ARGUMENT
(they cannot set the env var per iteration) therefore read the convention from
the ROOT config while reading that workstream's ROADMAP.

Two reproduced consequences:

- A workstream that explicitly declares its own `phase_id_convention` had it
  ignored. Flipping ONLY the root config between bracket and milestone-prefixed
  changed which milestone that workstream extracted.
- `--workstream foo` and `GSD_WORKSTREAM=foo` disagreed on the same repo: the
  arg form fell through to the root config, the env form did not.

`resolvePhaseIdConvention(cwd, ws?)` now forwards `ws` to `planningDir`, and
both roadmap-parser call sites pass theirs — `extractCurrentMilestoneScoped`
(which already reads STATE from `planningDir(cwd, ws)`) and
`getMilestonePhaseFilter`'s lazy branch. `undefined` keeps the env fallback, so
convention-less call sites are byte-identical; `null` still means "explicitly no
workstream". The `undefined` vs `null` discriminator on `phaseIdConvention` is
untouched — only the base the `undefined` branch resolves FROM moves.

workstream-inventory's two sites (`countRoadmapPhases`, `inspectWorkstream`)
passed a literal `null` where they meant `undefined`, pinning every workstream
to the legacy grammar. On a bracket workstream whose milestone declares 3
phases that returned phaseCount 0 and fell back to the on-disk directory count;
it now returns 3. A non-bracket workstream is unchanged (legacy control pinned).

The workstream -> root federation is preserved: a workstream that declares no
convention still inherits the root, as config-loader does. That inheritance is
pinned so the fix cannot be over-applied into isolation.

* fix(#2761): classify missing phase details per occurrence, not per token

Under READING-B a phase's sentinel status lives in the BRACKET, so
`[GSD.999] 01` and `[GSD.02] 01` share a token and are not the same phase.
Both sides of the missing-detail check were keyed by the bare token anyway, and
both produced false negatives in `missing_phase_details`:

- The checklist scan built a token -> bracket-id Map, FIRST-WINS. Of two entries
  sharing a token, whichever the author wrote first classified both. With
  `- [ ] **[GSD.999] 01: Icebox**` above `- [ ] **[GSD.02] 01: ...**` the real
  phase inherited the icebox's sentinel verdict and vanished from the report;
  swapping the two bullets — same document, same phases — reported it. Pinned
  with a test asserting BOTH orders.

- The detail set was `new Set(phases.map(p => p.number))`, also token-keyed, so
  `[GSD.02] 01`'s heading marked token `01` present and satisfied
  `[GSD.03] 01`, which has no heading anywhere. Order-independent, same class.

Both sides now key on an occurrence key: the owner's `bracketQualifiedKey`
(fold- and padding-insensitive, so `[gsd.2] 01` and `[GSD.02] 01` are one
phase), falling back to a fold-normalized composite for the two shapes that
grammar refuses — a token carrying its own hyphen, which splices to an id whose
trailing segment the qualified-key grammar truncates (the hazard
`getMilestonePhaseFilter` guards with its own `!token.includes('-')`), and any
id it does not accept. With no bracket id the key IS the bare token, so the
legacy path keeps its exact keys and dedupe order.

The emitted value is unchanged — `missing_phase_details` stays an array of bare
tokens, matching `phases[].number`. Only the classification moved to the
qualified key, so two brackets' `01` both missing report `01` once instead of
one silently covering for the other.

* test(#2761): replace the two wall-clock ReDoS assertions with algorithmic bounds

Both guards asserted elapsed wall-clock time — `Date.now()` against a 20s
ceiling in the coherence suite, `process.hrtime.bigint()` against 1s in the
read-tolerance suite. Those measure the host machine rather than the SUT and
flake on a loaded CI runner (RULESET.TESTS.no-timing-assertion). Per
RULESET.TESTS.delete-bad-tests they are REPLACED, not skipped, and the
behavioral property each one guarded is preserved.

The property is "the widened bracket patterns do not backtrack
catastrophically", which is a claim about growth, so it is now stated by
scaling the input instead of by timing it:

- validate health runs the pathological unclosed bracket at 4,000 and 16,000
  characters and must return the same correct result (no W021) at both.
- The four reader entry points run five ReDoS shapes at 5,000 and 20,000 and
  must name exactly the phases each shape should name at each size, with the
  variant cardinality unchanged across the two.

Catastrophic backtracking is superlinear, so a regression cannot complete the
4x leg under any ceiling, while a bounded matcher is indifferent to the
scaling. The one attack that is well-formed-but-oversized now pins its reading
precisely (`['1'.repeat(n)]`) rather than being lumped in with the malformed
ones. A positive control asserts the readers still extract a well-formed
bracket heading, so "names no phase" cannot pass by the readers being inert.

`{ timeout }` is a hang backstop, not an assertion: it turns a runaway into a
deterministic failure instead of a suite that never returns.

* fix(#2761): give the bracket grammar one owner and teach the drift guard to see it

The bracket milestone-intro grammar was re-typed verbatim in three readers —
roadmap-parser's bracket-fallback selector, state's `isMilestoneBounded` and
verify's `checkBracketCoherence` — which is exactly what #2761's own gate
forbids ("no token literal outside src/phase-id.cts"). `check:phase-id-drift`
reported clean the whole time: its detector only ever knew the phase-NUMBER
token grammar, so the bracket class `[A-Z][A-Z0-9_]*` was invisible to it.

Ownership. `src/phase-id.cts` now exports the class as
`BRACKET_PROJECT_CODE_SRC` and the intro in the two shapes its readers need:
`bracketMilestoneIntroSrcFor(milestone)` (pinned to one milestone) and
`BRACKET_MILESTONE_INTRO_CAPTURING_SRC` (milestone captured). The pinned
builder owns the pad2 spelling rule too — "canonical spelling only, not `0*N`"
was previously restated in prose beside each copy, a convention two files had
to keep agreeing on by hand. `BRACKET_ID_SRC`, `BRACKET_ID_PREFIX_RE` and
`BRACKET_QUALIFIED_KEY_RE` now compose the class rather than re-spelling it.
All three call sites consume the owner; the regex sources are byte-identical to
what they spelled, asserted against hand transcriptions of the pre-fix lines.

Guard. `scripts/lint-phase-id-drift.cjs` gains a bracket rule
(`findBracketGrammarDrift`), wired into `scanRepo` and tagged `kind`. It
deliberately does NOT copy the token rule's `line.includes(CANON_REF)` escape:
that escape is line-level, and verify's copy referenced the owner for the
MILESTONE field on the same line as the re-typed PROJECT-CODE class — so a
bracket rule with that escape would have kept passing on the very site under
review. Partial ownership is the drift; only a dedicated `// phase-id-owner:`
comment suppresses it.

Proof, end to end: planting the shipped verify.cts literal back into src/ makes
`npm run check:phase-id-drift` exit 1 naming `[bracket] src/verify.cts:1475`;
restoring it returns the gate to ok.

Tests. phase-id-drift-guard carries all three shipped literals as negative
fixtures, the same-line-owner-reference case, the case-widened evasion variant,
the sanction rules, and a temp-tree scan proving the rule is wired into
scanRepo rather than merely exported. continuation-grammar-parity drives the
pinned and capturing shapes over a 12-entry corpus and requires the same
verdict from both plus the same captured milestone — widening either alone
fails there.

* test(#2761): drop the out-of-scope source-grep exemption from the selector pin

The baseline-selector pin in tests/adr-612-bracket-heading-selection.test.cjs
read `src/*.cts` with readFileSync and regex, claiming the no-source-grep
escape with a source-text-is-the-product reason. CONTEXT.md's documented scope
(RULESET.TESTS.no-source-grep.exemption) reserves that escape for tests whose
subject is a runtime CONTRACT FILE — STATE.md, config.toml, hooks.json, agent
.md — and `src/*.cts` is none of those.

It was also broader than it looked: eslint-rules/no-source-grep.cjs matches the
marker in ANY comment in the file, so one block's claim disarmed the rule for
the whole ~700-line suite.

The pin itself is worth keeping — the BASELINE ARGUMENT at each call site is a
fact no behavioural test can recover (flipping verify's milestone-complete site
from LABEL_ONLY to ANY_BRACKET grants a tolerance it has never had, and every
behavioural test still passes), so pinning it does require reading the authored
source. That reading moved to `scripts/lint-phase-id-drift.cjs` — the seam's
own guard, where source scanning is sanctioned (`warn` scope) and already
happens for the grammar rules — as `countSelectorBaselines` /
`scanSelectorBaselines`, which return a structured census. The test asserts on
the returned data and touches no file text.

CONTEXT.md is unchanged: the exemption scope was not widened to fit the test.
No marker remains in the suite, so the rule is live across all of it again, and
eslint passes with the escape removed rather than relocated. A floor assertion
pins that the census actually found the five consumers, so the "no other file
consumes the selector unpinned" check cannot pass on an empty scan.

* docs(#2761): rewrite the changeset as a lead + deltas instead of one paragraph

The fragment was a single ~6,400-character paragraph that opened on internal
mechanics, buried the user-visible change, and named an internal test path
(tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs) that means nothing to a reader
of the CHANGELOG.

It now leads with what a user sees — bracket-style phase IDs are recognized on
the read path across roadmap, validate, verify and state — followed by compact
bullets for the behavioral deltas, the opt-in caveat, and the upstream
consequences. Both merge-added disclosures are kept: the #3185 legacy-sentinel
Phase-0 delta with the reason the bracket counter keeps the narrower rule, and
the enumerator's convention-argument default flip with the four newly-scoped
read surfaces and the note that archival and milestone-completion paths are
unchanged. Two deltas from this review round are stated as their own bullets:
per-occurrence classification in `missing_phase_details`, and workstream-scoped
convention resolution including the workstream-rollup count change.

The internal test path is gone and the body is down to ~3,850 characters. The
bullets render as sub-bullets under the CHANGELOG entry and the `(#NNNN)`
suffix still lands on a trailing paragraph rather than mid-list.
`npm run lint:changeset` passes.

* test(#2761): use helpers.cleanup in the drift-guard temp-tree test

`local/no-raw-rmsync-in-tests` rejects a bare `fs.rmSync` in tests — the shared
helper carries the Windows-EBUSY retry budget. The temp-tree scan added with
M3's guard coverage test used the raw call.

* docs(#2761): correct the occurrenceKey comment on qualified-key normalization

The comment claimed `bracketQualifiedKey` is "fold- and padding-insensitive, so
`[gsd.2] 01` and `[GSD.02] 01` are one phase". The fold half is right; the
padding half is not. `BRACKET_MILESTONE_NUMERIC_SRC` is `(?:[1-9]\d{2,}|\d{2})`,
so `bracketQualifiedKey('GSD.2-01', 'bracket')` returns null and that input
takes the composite fallback instead.

No behavior change — the two key spaces use different separators and cannot
collide — but the claim was checkable and wrong. Restated: the owner case-folds,
and padding-tolerance is not a property it has or needs, because each accepted
milestone has exactly one canonical spelling and `[GSD.2]` is malformed rather
than an alternate spelling of `[GSD.02]`.

* ci(#2761): give the coverage-gate job the heap floor the shard jobs already have

The gate's report steps parse ~2.5GB of merged raw V8 dumps in one
process at the runner's implicit ~4GB ceiling, so pass/fail comes down
to GC timing (run 31338081337 OOM'd; next passes the same volume at
28s). Deterministic locally: crashes at --max-old-space-size=4096,
completes in 11s at 8192. PR shard data is within 0.15% of green next
runs — the load is pre-existing, only the ceiling was missing. #2952
set 6144 on the shard-collection step; the gate job was missed.

* Revert "ci(#2761): give the coverage-gate job the heap floor the shard jobs already have"

This reverts commit 03c74a97c911e9ddc53675aded9c9bbb89f14cd1.

* fix(#2761): thread the resolved convention into cmdStateValidate's phase-directory lookup

#3208 replaced cmdStateValidate's `startsWith` prefix test with the canonical
`phaseKeyFromDir(...) === selectedPhaseKey` comparison. That is the right
surface, and it is why the lookup now needs the resolved `phase_id_convention`,
which the rewrite does not pass.

`phaseKeyFromDir` deliberately refuses to read a bracket directory without an
explicit signal (ADR-2121: a bracket dir is string-indistinguishable from the
legacy letter-prefixed-decimal family), so un-threaded it returns the whole dir
name as the key — `GSD.02-05-real-work` -> `GSD.02-5-REAL-WORK` — while the
STATE side is the bare `05` that `parsePhaseFromProse` yields. Both sides of one
comparison derived under different conventions is #2562's defect class, and this
file's other three `phaseKeyFromDir` call sites already thread against it.

Observable: a bracket repo whose phase directory plainly exists reported
`valid: false` and "no phase directory matches phase 05", and the drift scan
(plan-count mismatch, verification status) never ran. The pre-#3208 `startsWith`
missed the same directory but skipped silently, so this is a visible-failure
regression on bracket repos, not a new miss.

Non-bracket conventions are byte-identical by construction: `extractPhaseToken`
branches only on `=== 'bracket'`, so null / 'milestone-prefixed' / unresolvable
compile the same path as the un-threaded call. The flat-legacy twin assertion
pins that.

* docs(#2761): note the cmdStateValidate convention threading in the changeset fragment

The fragment described the bracket read path as of the pre-merge branch. 504c64ff
added a shipped behaviour change — `state validate` now resolves bracket phase
directories — that the fragment did not mention, so the rendered changelog would
have under-described what ships.

Body text only; `type` and `pr` are untouched.

* test(#2761): invert the inherited-wart characterization — #3225 fixed it upstream

Required by the merge of next @ 86101ee6; test-only, no src delta.

This branch disclosed rather than fixed a pre-existing upstream wart: on a
LEGACY repo, `### Phase 999:` warned from `validate consistency` while
`validate health` suppressed it — the two verbs contradicting each other.
The case was pinned as a characterization test ("INHERITED WART, unchanged")
precisely so it would INVERT if upstream ever closed it, rather than rot
silently.

ae7dc529 (#3225) closed it, by adding the `isSentinelPhaseId` guard to this
very loop. So the assertion inverted on the merge — as designed. Flipped to
assert the FIXED behaviour rather than deleted: it is the negative-space
proof that this branch's `sentinelPhases` guard never had to grow a legacy
reading of its own, and it reds if a future conflict resolution keeps our
guard while dropping upstream's.

Added a scope control alongside it (a legacy NON-sentinel `### Phase 09:`
with no directory still warns), so deleting the loop outright cannot pass.

Union proven load-bearing in BOTH directions against the merged tree —
neither guard subsumes the other:
  - drop `isSentinelPhaseId(p)` (ours only) -> 1 red, exactly this case.
    Note upstream's own #3225 tests stay GREEN there: they cover the
    disk-side loops (sentinel dir on disk) and the gap-numbering filter,
    not the ROADMAP-side loop. This case is that site's only coverage,
    which is the second reason to keep it rather than delete it.
  - drop `sentinelPhases.has(p)` (upstream only) -> 4 red bracket suites
    (icebox-not-missing, health/consistency agreement, occurrence-aware
    suppression, checklist-index suppression).

tests/adr-612-bracket-read-tolerance.test.cjs 79 -> 80, all green.

* test(#2761): pin the three re-homed W006/W007 reads the merge left unfalsifiable

#3309/#3310 deleted the helpers this PR threaded (collectDiskPhases,
collectDiskPhaseEntries, collectArchivedPhaseDirNames,
forEachArchivedPhaseToken) and rebuilt their reads inside
src/planning-snapshot.cts + src/health-diagnostic-rules/*.cts. The convention
threading moved with them in the merge commit — but a mutation sweep over the
re-homed sites found three where reverting the convention argument changed real
CLI output and NOT ONE existing test went red. The pre-migration sites were
covered indirectly, through helpers that no longer exist, so the coverage did
not survive the relocation even though the behaviour did.

Each case is pinned at the CLI with its flat-legacy twin as the byte-identity
control, plus a non-vacuity control in the opposite direction:

  archivedPhaseTokens      revert -> "Phase 05 in ROADMAP.md but no directory on
  (planning-snapshot.cts)            disk" for a phase whose only directory is
                                     under .planning/milestones/v1.0-phases/
  roadmapPhaseCheckboxes   revert -> "Phase 09 in ROADMAP.md but no directory on
  (planning-snapshot.cts)            disk" for an unstarted `- [ ]` phase
  W007's extractPhaseToken revert -> "Phase GSD.02-77-orphan exists on disk"
  (roadmap-disk-consistency)         instead of "Phase 77 exists on disk"

Red/green: each single-line revert reds exactly its own case and nothing else;
every legacy control stays green in all three runs.

NOT pinned, and disclosed as droppable rather than given an unfalsifiable test:
buildValidPhaseSet's extractPhaseToken(dir, convention) in W002. That rule
unions disk tokens with roadmapDeclaredPhases and archivedPhaseTokens, and any
STATE.md reference a bracket disk token would rescue is already rescued by the
ROADMAP half — probed directly, the argument makes no observable difference. It
is threaded because it restores collectDiskPhases(planBase, convention)'s
derivation exactly, not because a test needs it.

Test-only; revertable independently of the merge commit.

* fix(#2761): three review-lens corrections to the merge resolution

Found by an adversarial pass over the re-homing, none caught by any gate.

1. planning-snapshot.cts — `phaseDirs` goes back to upstream's exact call,
   `listMilestonePhaseDirs(paths.phases, { cwd })`.

   The merge passed the resolved convention explicitly, on the belief it was a
   behaviour-preserving spelling of the lazy default. It is not. The lazy path
   resolves `resolvePhaseIdConvention(cwd, ws)` with this call's `ws`, which
   defaults to `null` — the PROJECT-only reading, no root fallback — while the
   `phaseIdConvention` field is resolved federated (workstream -> root). On a
   workstream repo whose ROOT opts into bracket and whose workstream config
   does not, those answers differ, so the explicit pass silently re-scoped
   `phaseDirs`. No test covered it in either direction (proven: reverting is
   green across all bracket + health-diagnostic + snapshot suites). PR-2 does
   not need that change, so it is dropped rather than kept untested. The
   federation guarantee is still delivered where it is observable — in the
   rules that read `snapshot.phaseIdConvention`.

2. planning-snapshot.cts — `buildRoadmapBracketIncoherencesField` decides
   file-readability BEFORE the convention gate, so `scope` means one thing on
   every repo. Ordered the other way, an absent ROADMAP.md reported COMPLETE on
   a legacy repo and UNREADABLE on a bracket one — the same "nothing to say"
   state wearing two scopes, which is exactly the non-answer/answer distinction
   ADR-3180 §8.1 gives `scope` to carry. No behaviour change (RULE_W021 does not
   read this scope); it removes an ambiguity a reader of that ADR would catch.

3. roadmap-disk-consistency.cts — `checkW006` reads
   `roadmapSentinelPhaseTokens` without its own scope guard. That is safe
   TODAY because one builder call produces it and `roadmapDeclaredPhases` from
   one `buildRoadmapPhaseVariants` result, so their scopes are yoked; the
   existing COMPLETE check covers both. Stated in a comment instead of left to
   co-location, since an UNREADABLE sentinel set degrades to "nothing is a
   sentinel", which ADDS W006 warnings rather than dropping them.

* test(#2761): pin the two reads the #3165 extraction left unfalsifiable

DROPPABLE, offered as such. Test-only; the merge commit is correct without it.

#3428's extraction gave `collectAnalyzePhases` TWO call sites — the scoped
milestone window and the truncated-window recovery path. The merge threads
`convention` into both and swaps `detailKeys` with `phases` across the recovery.
Neither of those was falsifiable by the suite as it stood:

  - passing a NULL convention at the FALLBACK site, with the scoped site still
    threaded, is green across all 518 tests of the bracket, roadmap and
    milestone-window files. Every pre-existing bracket assertion reaches the
    enrichment through the scoped window, so none of them can observe the
    fallback's reading at all;
  - dropping `detailKeys = fallbackScan.detailKeys;` — the line this merge
    authored — is likewise green, because no fixture that reaches the recovery
    path carries a checklist bullet, so `missing_phase_details` is `null`
    either way.

That is the same hole class lap 3 closed in 9914359c: an argument whose revert
changes real CLI output with zero reds.

Pinned at the CLI on the shape that reaches the fallback on a bracket repo — a
MID-MIGRATION ROADMAP: bracketed ACTIVE milestone, its phase-detail sections
and checklist bullets sitting after an intervening CLOSED legacy milestone (so
the window closes over prose only), plus one legacy `### Phase N:` section of
its own. Six tests:

  - a NON-VACUITY control that removes the phase directories, so #3428's own
    precondition fails and the result is the empty one the recovery exists to
    replace — this is what proves the rest read the FALLBACK's output rather
    than the scoped scan's;
  - the directory assertion (`disk_status`/`plan_count`/`summary_count` for
    canonical `{CODE}.{MM}-{PP}-slug` dirs) + a flat-legacy twin asserting
    byte-equal shape, and that the twin is the right answer rather than a
    shared wrong one;
  - `missing_phase_details: null` for phases the recovery just found, and its
    companion direction — a bullet with no heading anywhere is STILL reported,
    so a fix that merely suppressed the report does not pass;
  - a non-bracket repo taking the same path unaffected.

Red/green, each mutation reverted afterwards:
  - fallback call site -> `null` convention: exactly 2 reds, both directory
    assertions in this block; 307 other tests green, including upstream's own
    #3428 tests in tests/milestone-window-single-owner.test.cjs.
  - `detailKeys` swap deleted: exactly 2 reds, both `missing_phase_details`
    assertions; 414 other tests green.
  - `matchPhaseDirs` 3rd argument dropped (the lap-2 site): 4 reds — the 2
    already on record plus this block's 2, which is the point: one seam, now
    reached by two paths.

DISCLOSED IN THE TEST BODY WITH MEASURED OUTPUT, not fixed: `hasPhaseEntries`
(src/roadmap-parser.cts) is convention-blind, so on a PURE-bracket ROADMAP the
window classifies COMPLETE and #3428's recovery is gated off entirely. That
document returns `{"scope":"complete","phase_count":0,"next_phase":null,
"phases":[]}` — the "genuinely empty milestone" answer, the indistinguishability
#3184 introduced `scope` to remove — where the flat-legacy twin returns
`{"scope":"truncated","phase_count":2,...}`. Widening it changes the value of an
upstream-owned output field on bracket repos, so it is a behaviour slice (the
PR-2.5/PR-4 convention-less-readers question), not a merge-round change. The
mid-migration shape pinned here is the reachable half.

* fix(#2761): mirror the bracket terminator in the milestone-scope write guard

#3446's `findMilestoneScopeHeadingLines` is defined as a MIRROR of the
parser's terminator vocabulary — "a level 1-3 heading that is not a Phase
heading and carries a milestone signal". On this branch that vocabulary is
convention-SELECTED: `computeBracketSectionEnd` adds `isBracketMilestoneBoundary`
as a terminator arm, and the ADR-canonical `## [GSD.09] Hidden` carries NO
vN.N token, NO ✅/📋/🚧/🔄 marker, and not the word "Milestone". Left
unmirrored, the guard accepted exactly the description it exists to reject.

NOT a defect on clean next — a bracket heading terminates nothing there. The
branch widens the terminator set, so the branch owns the mirror.

MEASURED at the CLI seam before the fix (bracket fixture, one milestone,
one phase):

  $ gsd-tools phase add $'Sneaky\n## [GSD.09] Hidden'   -> exit 0, written
  $ gsd-tools phase add 'Innocent follow up'            -> exit 0, written
  $ gsd-tools roadmap milestone-scope
    { "scope": "complete", "phases": ["01","1"], "phase_count": 2 }
  $ grep '^### Phase' .planning/ROADMAP.md
    ### Phase 1: Sneaky
    ### Phase 2: Innocent follow up      <- in the document, out of the window

After the fix the first add exits 1, ROADMAP.md is byte-unchanged and no
phase directory is created. The legacy twin (same text, no
`phase_id_convention`) still exits 0 — opt-in only, base behaviour preserved.

SHAPE
- `findMilestoneScopeHeadingLines(text, convention)` — REQUIRED, the same
  tripwire `scanMilestonePhaseIds` carries in the merge commit and for the
  sharper reason: a blind call here fails OPEN (the guard quietly ACCEPTS a
  window-narrowing description), so a future call site must fail to COMPILE.
  Census is one caller, which pays nothing for it. A non-bracket value takes
  the pre-existing path byte-identically. The bracket arm routes through
  `isBracketMilestoneBoundary`, the same single-owner phase-vs-milestone
  discriminator `computeBracketSectionEnd` consults; no second bracket-heading
  grammar is spelled here.
- `selectedBracketId` is deliberately `null`, so the same-milestone
  CONTINUATION exemption never fires and a value naming the ACTIVE milestone
  is flagged too. That is this predicate's third stated conservatism and
  rests on its own existing argument: which milestone is active is a property
  of the document at write time, not of the text being validated, and
  over-rejecting is one-directional.
- `assertDescriptionPreservesMilestoneScope` takes `cwd` and resolves through
  the branch's tolerant try/catch — this guard runs BEFORE `loadConfig` and
  before the ROADMAP existence check, so an unresolvable convention must
  degrade to the legacy vocabulary, never turn a rejection into a crash.
- The error's marker list gains the bracket form only when the project is on
  the bracket convention.

RED/GREEN
- Revert the bracket arm -> 2 reds (phase add; insert + add-batch), the
  non-bracket control and both no-false-positive cases stay green.
- Revert the probe threading in the merge commit -> 1 red (the probe case).
- 6 new cases in the #3262 file, each with a non-bracket or
  no-false-positive control: fenced bracket milestone heading and bracket
  PHASE heading are both non-violations.

Droppable: revert this commit and the merge stands on its own; the branch
then ships the gap as a disclosure instead of a fix.

* docs(changeset): narrow the enumerator claim to the directory set — per-entry rendering in progress/stats/init-manager is display-slice scope

Round-7 review confirmed 3 of the 4 surfaces named by the closing claim
parse each directory or heading with legacy-only patterns that live in
files this PR does not touch (commands.cts:1766, commands.cts:2116,
init.cts:2241). The claim now states exactly what this slice delivers:
the scoped directory set. Their per-entry conversion is display work,
deferred to the epic's display PR with the statusline/progress-card
gates it belongs beside.

* fix(#2761): de-accident the unmatched-milestone bracket fixture, re-pin to #3480's withhold contract

tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs:515 ("a milestone that
does NOT match STATE is not scoped in") asserted total_phases === 0.
Since today's merge brought in 70b5c1a1 (#3354/#3480, already in
`next`), buildStateFrontmatter withholds total_phases (omits the key,
read back as null) for a milestone that is genuinely sectioned but
matches no ROADMAP heading, instead of substituting a computed number
— the fixture's `state json` read now returns null, failing the
strictEqual(0) assertion.

The original single-section fixture's 0 only ever survived by
accident: hasMilestoneSectioning requires >=2 milestone-vocabulary
headings to call a ROADMAP sectioned, and its isPhaseHeading helper
recognizes only the legacy `Phase N:` text form — so the bracket
phase heading `### [GSD.03] 09: Not this milestone` (title containing
the word "milestone") miscounted as a second milestone heading,
tipping hasMilestoneSectioning true and routing to the disk-count
branch. With that miscount removed, the same one-section fixture
reads 1 (the non-matching milestone's phase count leaking into v2.0's
total) — proving the pinned 0 was never validating the scoping this
test claims to exercise.

Replaced the fixture with two genuine milestone sections (GSD.03,
GSD.04), neither matching STATE's v2.0, with phase titles carrying no
incidental vocabulary — the real #3354 shape. Re-pinned the assertion
to null, matching upstream's own tested contract (tests/state-
document.test.cjs, "#3354 with nothing stored, the key is omitted
rather than written from the dir count").

Verified: file green 3/3 runs (104/104), full state-suite regression
771/771 green. The isPhaseHeading gap that made the old fixture
accidental is a real, pre-existing, upstream-owned limitation
(hasMilestoneSectioning only guards >=2-section conflation, not a
single non-matching section leaking through) — not introduced by
#3480 or this branch; out of scope here.

* chore(#2761): exempt two self-authored-fixture regexes from #3441's unbounded-quantifier rule

Both sites parse the STATE.md the test itself just wrote to its own
tmpdir — fixed-size fixture output, not adversarial or document-scale
input. Exempted with the justification-comment pattern the tree's own
tests use for this exact case (settings-integrations, copilot-install,
research-agent-profiles). The sites predate the rule; #3441 landed on
next this morning and this branch picked it up in the catch-up merge.

* fix(#2761): fix forward two next-movement test regressions from the round-11 rebase

origin/next's #3573 newly threads STATE's stored `milestone:` value into
`state json`'s buildStateFrontmatter call (previously always `undefined` on
that read surface). Two pre-existing PR-2 fixtures reach code paths that
call never exercised before that merge:

- RED (repro2 case C): a version-less, all-bracket-id ROADMAP now hits
  getMilestonePhaseFilter's pre-existing (unaffected by this branch) row-5
  `versionResolved && !headingFound => SCOPE.UNSCOPED` rule, which withholds
  `progress.percent` even though the scoped total_phases/completed_phases
  are still correct. That row-5 rule is load-bearing for six other
  version-less-document pins in this same file; narrowing it broke seven of
  them in testing, so production code is untouched here. Reassert the
  test's real claim (scoping, via total_phases/completed_phases) and
  disclose the now-withheld percent instead of silently dropping it.

- PIN (repro12 LEGACY control): a fenced-example-vs-real version heading
  fixture. #3573 routes this read through sliceMilestoneWindow (fence-aware)
  instead of the legacy anyMilestonePattern raw scan (fence-blind) this pin
  was disclosing as out of scope, so the fixture no longer exercises the
  blind path — total_phases moves from the whole-doc 4 to the correctly
  scoped 2. Re-pinned with an upstream-attributed comment, matching this
  file's existing house style for prior origin/next movements (see the
  sibling "PIN (G3 LEGACY control)" comment).

Both are test-only fix-forwards: no production code changed. The remaining
12 failures in this file at 27363e9d0 (dropped seam commits' VERIFICATION.md
naming + fixture updates) are pre-existing and deferred to the stacked
follow-up per the task's own scope.

* fix(#2761): thread phaseIdConvention explicitly at the two write-adjacent enumerator call sites (round-11 BLOCKER)

listMilestonePhaseDirs' phaseIdConvention param lost its `= null` default
(phase-locator.cts), so an omitted convention now means "resolve from
config" instead of "explicitly not bracket" — a deliberate flip, but
milestone.cts and state.cts were not in the PR-2 diff and both call the
enumerator without threading it:

- milestone.cts cmdMilestoneComplete (the single #3597 shared derivation
  feeding the stats loop, --dry-run preview, and the real archive/rename
  pass) now resolves phase_id_convention once and threads it explicitly,
  so a bracket project's `milestone complete` archives its real
  bracket-declared phase directories instead of silently inheriting
  whatever the enumerator's lazy default resolves to.
- state.cts cmdStateUpdateProgress's own enumerator call threads the same
  resolved convention. Empirically this does not change the #3217 withhold
  gate (scope is assigned before headingConvention resolves in
  getMilestonePhaseFilter, so it's convention-independent either way) or
  the reported percent (already correctly threaded via
  computeUpdateProgressPreview -> buildStateFrontmatter); it closes a
  second, silently-resolved answer to the same question this file's own
  ONCE-and-THREAD rule (~:2300) already states as policy.
- state.cts's other listMilestonePhaseDirs call site (the state-sync
  scope-only read, ~:4791) is left unthreaded on purpose, with an inline
  note explaining why: only `.scope` is consumed, and `.scope` is set
  before convention resolution in getMilestonePhaseFilter, so it cannot
  disagree with a threaded convention.

Both enumerated sets are pinned by new tests (round-11 BLOCKER block in
tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs), including a mutation-style
regression check on the milestone.cts fix (forcing the un-threaded default
back on makes the pinned test fail, catching a regression to the
pass-all-degrade legacy reading).

* fix(#2761): correct the changeset's false archival claim and amend ADR-612 for the round-11 M2(2) split scope

The changeset (.changeset/2761-bracket-read-tolerance.md) asserted "The
archival and milestone-completion paths are unchanged" — false: both
paths reach the widened enumerator, and this PR now threads their
convention explicitly (previous commit). Replaced the closing paragraph
with an accurate description of what changes for a bracket project at
those two call sites, and notes both enumerated sets are pinned by tests.

ADR-612 (docs/adr/612-bracket-phase-id-convention.md) amended per M2(2):
the 2026-08-03 PR-2/PR-4 boundary proposal is added in-body (PROPOSED,
not stamped — mechanics per docs/contributor-standards.md:143 reserve ADR
ratification to maintainers), rescoped to what actually ships in PR-2
(#2761) now that the round-11 M1 split moved the completion-seam
threading (isPhaseArtifact/scopeToPhase, phase-id.cts:964-1090) out into
a separate, stacked follow-up PR referenced generically via epic #612:

- state.cts read-tolerance (both total_phases derivations, the #1514
  retirement filter) moves into PR-2's row, alongside milestone.cts,
  reflecting the round-11 fix above.
- the write-observability point is restated in terms of what actually
  ships: explicit threading at two named call sites, pinned by tests,
  rather than silent inheritance.
- the completion-seam threading is named and explicitly excluded from
  PR-2's scope, with a new ratify item (5) and a Negative consequence
  bullet covering the sequencing cost.

* fix(#2761): thread convention into the #3511 membership seam — bracket dirs scope like their legacy twins

Upstream #3511's isPhaseArtifact/scopeToPhase was structurally inert on
bracket directories: 3+-letter codes (GSD.02-…) fell into the zero-token
include-everything fail-safe (PROJECT_CODE_PREFIX_CAPTURE_RE_I strips
{CODE}-, not {CODE}.), and short digit-bearing codes (A1.02-…) into the
firstLetterPrefixed one — so every bracket dir read include-everything and
a cross-phase stray could complete a bracket phase, the exact
contamination #3511 shipped to prevent, still open on this PR's own
convention.

The seam now takes the same optional trailing convention its sibling
primitives do (ADR-2121 additive shape; gated on BRACKET_DIR_TOKEN_RE, the
one grammar owner shared with extractPhaseToken's bracket branch), through
a candidate-comparison core shared with the legacy path so the two cannot
drift. Threaded by the call sites that already hold the resolved
convention: the completion chain (isPhaseComplete ->
readVerificationStatus -> resolveVerificationFile, with a convention-aware
RESOLUTION token and a deliberately convention-less command-argument
token), buildStateFrontmatter, cmdStateSync, cmdStateValidate's S006/S007
scan, the planning snapshot, and roadmap analysis. Convention-less readers
(uat, audit, init, gap-checker, phase-locator) keep the documented
fail-safe — the follow-up slice.

The phase-counting fixture now writes what cmdScaffold writes
(phase-matched ${normalizePhaseName(phase)}-VERIFICATION.md) instead of a
hardcoded 01-VERIFICATION.md that #3511 correctly reads as a stray; the
stray shape is pinned deliberately in a new regression block (measured
pre-fix: [3,3,3,2,67] with the stray counted as completion) alongside
seam-level pins for BOTH fail-safe families, so neither the rename nor a
one-branch patch can stand in for the fix.

* fix(#2761): review round — gate the FILENAME reading on the convention too, ratify the M-NN twin-parity trade

Two-leg review of the seam thread (adversarial + upstream-fit, then an
adversarial re-verify of the fixes) found and this commit closes:

- Major: the convention gated only the DIRECTORY reading. A
  milestone-qualified artifact name (GSD.02-01-VERIFICATION.md — the layout
  the read-tolerance suite models) derives zero legacy token segments, so
  FIX 2's token-less containment admitted it into ANY bracket dir. Qualified
  stems now compare on bracketQualifiedKey — exact key, or the dotted
  sub-phase continuation (the round-2 verify caught strict equality dropping
  the dot arm: over-exclusion, the dangerous direction) — while a well-formed
  stem naming a different phase or milestone is excluded. Malformed
  qualified-shaped stems keep the documented include-everything fail-safe.
- Major, RATIFIED not changed: an M-NN-stem report (02-01-VERIFICATION.md in
  GSD.02-01-one) is excluded exactly as its legacy twin excludes the same
  file; migration-window artifact renaming belongs to the migrator slice
  (ADR-612). Pinned in tests with its legacy-twin control.
- Minor: the counting fixture's verificationNameFor now routes through the
  production normalizePhaseName (padding has a single owner), and its
  docstring states honestly which artifact layout it models.
- cmdRoadmapUpdatePlanProgress threads the convention into isPhaseComplete
  (ADR-3180 §7.4 read/write-path symmetry with the analyze site).

All pins carry measured pre-fix values. Convention-less paths swept
byte-identical (1,800 comparisons, 0 differences).

* fix(#2761): mark the round-11 decoy fixture incomplete so it doesn't need a phase token

The two round-11 BLOCKER tests (cmdMilestoneComplete / cmdStateUpdateProgress
enumeration) pass a `not-a-declared-phase` decoy directory to writeProject as
an implicitly-complete fixture entry. After threading convention through the
#3511 membership seam, verificationNameFor derives the scaffolder's real
verification filename from the directory's phase token — which the decoy,
by design, does not carry. Mark the decoy incomplete instead: the assertions
these tests pin (exclusion from would_archive.phases / stats.phases) don't
depend on the decoy having a VERIFICATION file at all.

* fix(#2761): repair round-11 response gaps — disk-side sentinel bug, test-fixture bug, scanMilestonePhaseIds caller drift

Four independently-verified gaps in the round-11 repair response:

1. isSentinelPhaseId (src/phase-id.cts) treated a bare, untagged phase
   directory under phase_id_convention: "bracket" (`0-bootstrap`, no
   `{CODE}.{MM}-` prefix) as sentinel milestone 0 by falling through to the
   legacy leading-int rule when the bracket-tag match failed. This silently
   dropped a real, on-disk, milestone-declared phase directory from
   `listMilestonePhaseDirs` (phase-locator.cts:424, the only unguarded call
   site) and undercounted completed_phases/percent. Mirrors the carve-out
   already present on both heading-side counters (state.cts's
   countRoadmapPhaseHeadings guards its bare-0 exclusion with `bracketId &&`;
   roadmap-parser.cts's scanMilestonePhaseIds composes the bare-token rule as
   999-only) — under bracket convention, milestone 0 is expressed only via an
   explicit bracket tag, so an untagged leading 0 is a real phase token.

2. tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs's writeProject fixture
   hardcoded `01-VERIFICATION.md` for every "complete" phase dir regardless
   of the dir's real phase token. Under legacy convention this file already
   correctly failed #3511's strict isPhaseArtifact match for any dir other
   than phase 01 (the fixture never modeled what it claimed to); under
   bracket convention the pre-existing ambiguity fail-safe admitted it
   regardless. The two readings' disagreement was mistaken for a missing
   completion-seam threading (isPhaseArtifact/scopeToPhase convention
   awareness, correctly split out to the stacked #3644 per round-11's M1).
   Replaced the hardcoded name with verificationNameFor(dir), deriving the
   real per-phase filename from the production normalizePhaseName the same
   way cmdScaffold does — the 7 failing "flat-legacy-twin" / CHARACTERIZATION
   assertions pass on #2867's own code with no seam threading required, and
   the genuine seam-dependent cross-phase-stray-exclusion test the fixture
   fix would otherwise have hidden lives on the stacked branch instead.

3. tests/roadmap-parser.test.cjs's two #3577 tests still called
   scanMilestonePhaseIds with the old single-Set return shape; this PR
   changed it to `{ ids, qualifiedIds }` for every other caller but missed
   these two, which don't touch #2761/bracket code at all. TypeErrors at
   runtime, not silently-wrong assertions. Updated both call sites.

4. .changeset/2761-bracket-read-tolerance.md gains a paragraph disclosing
   fix 1 above, so the changeset stays accurate to what actually ships (the
   round-11 BLOCKER was exactly this changeset going stale once).

Verified: tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs +
tests/continuation-grammar-parity.test.cjs + tests/roadmap-parser.test.cjs =
354/354. adr-612-{coherence,grammar,heading-selection,read-tolerance,
selection.property}.test.cjs + collision-characterization = 287/287
(CONFIRMED-CLEAN set, unaffected). Full unfiltered suite run separately.

PR #3643 (round-11's M1 split, opened draft per that round's explicit
requirement) was auto-closed by this repo's own draft-PR policy 11 seconds
after opening — draft PRs are unconditionally closed here. Reopened as
non-draft #3644 (same branch, same commits, DO NOT MERGE / stacked-on-#2867
marker in the body, enhancement template) since the repo's own bot confirms
non-draft contributor PRs are tolerated even off-template.

* feat(#2761): gated heading-intro selection + one bracket identity grammar

Foundation. Two owner-level changes plus a federated convention resolver; no
reader consumes them yet.

1. GATED SELECTION, not an ungated widening.

   Widening every heading matcher requires the claim "no legacy ROADMAP contains
   a `[CODE.MM]` bracket followed by a digit", and that is false:
   `### [RFC.2119] 5:`, `### [v1.0] 2024:`, `### [ADR.612] 3:` and
   `### [ISO.8601] 2026:` are ordinary headings, and a widened reader claims each
   as a phase — moving phase_count and total_phases and adding W006 on projects
   that never opted in. No narrowing rescues it: the premise is about documents
   we do not control.

   `phaseHeadingPrefixSrcFor(baseline, convention, capturing?)` selects the
   pattern SOURCE at construction time. A project whose resolved
   `phase_id_convention` is not exactly 'bracket' compiles the same source string
   it compiled before. `baseline` is explicit because whether a site spells the
   any-bracket prefix or a bare `Phase\s+` is a fact about that site's history:
   handing the wider grammar to a bare site retro-grants tolerance it never had,
   in both directions — warnings appear, and a warning that fires today vanishes.

   Both bracket forms CAPTURE. `[GSD.999] Phase 07:` previously matched through
   the base alternative, which captures nothing, so a reader saw no bracket, fell
   back to the legacy token rule, and counted a labeled icebox heading while
   excluding the label-less one beside it — two derivations of one ROADMAP
   disagreeing.

2. ONE bracket identity grammar, one width rule.

   The milestone width is reconciled with the emit validator: pad2 output, so
   two digits or 3+ with no leading zero. Earlier spellings diverged in both
   directions — admitting `002`, which the validator rejects, and a bare `0` pad2
   never produces — and the section recognizers accepted `[GSD.2]`, which SCOPED
   a milestone no phase heading could then resolve into, recreating the
   on-disk-count fallback this epic removes. An unpadded bracket is now uniformly
   malformed: it scopes nothing, bounds nothing, sections nothing. W005 on its
   directories is the surfacing signal.

   The milestone field is boundary-anchored, so a malformed run cannot match by
   its prefix (`GSD.002-01` read as sentinel `00`). Recognition stays
   case-insensitive because readers compile `/i`, but identity helpers match
   `[A-Z]`, so a captured id is folded first — otherwise `### [gsd.999] 07:`
   failed every sentinel test. The qualified key shares the width, the `(?=-|$)`
   boundary and the single-sub-phase shape of the directory token, because
   phaseTokenMatches returns unconditionally on a qualified hit: a key matching a
   directory isPhaseDirName rejects would be a final wrong answer.

3. resolvePhaseIdConvention federates workstream -> root exactly as
   config-loader does — including that root is a fallback only when a WORKSTREAM
   is active, so a project-scoped directory stands alone. loadConfig cannot serve
   this: it merges against CONFIG_DEFAULTS and drops keys it does not know, and
   this key is not among them. It governs the bracket-selection reads ONLY.

PHASE_HEADING_PREFIX_SRC is left byte-identical: PR-1 shipped it, nothing
consumes it, and it is superseded rather than redefined.

* feat(#2761): roadmap.cts selects its heading grammar from the convention

Six matchers build their intro through the gated selector, and
cmdRoadmapAnalyze / cmdRoadmapGetPhase / getRoadmapPhaseWithFallback each
resolve the convention ONCE per command and thread it down.

Three sites take the any-bracket baseline (they already tolerated
`[anything] Phase N`); three take label-only (they spelled a bare `Phase\s+`).
Handing the wider grammar to a label-only site retro-grants tolerance it never
had — and not only by adding matches: on a legacy repo an unchecked
`- [ ] **[v1.0] Phase 05: Thing**` bullet would start SUPPRESSING the W006 that
fires today.

Sentinel handling under bracket ADDS a rule rather than replacing one: a
bracketed heading is a sentinel when its bracket milestone is reserved
(`### [GSD.999] 01:`) OR when its token is, so the engine-wide 0/999 backlog
convention keeps applying to `### [GSD.02] 999:`. Replacing the token rule let a
mid-migration ROADMAP — bracket headings plus a legacy backlog block, exactly
the content this epic targets — add entries to the progress denominator. The
captured id is folded before the identity test, so a lowercase
`### [gsd.999] 07:` is excluded too.

The DIRECTORY read is threaded too. `cmdRoadmapAnalyze` resolves the convention
once and hands it to all four of its heading/checklist patterns, but the single
`phaseTokenMatches` call that decides `disk_status`, `plan_count`,
`summary_count`, `has_context` and `has_research` was left two-argument — so
every canonical `{CODE}.{MM}-{PP}-slug` directory read as `no_directory` with
zero counts, on the PR's own headline verb, while the SAME build resolved those
same directories correctly in three other places on the same repo (W006/W007 via
phaseTokenFromDir, `state json` via the milestone filter, and the W021
milestone-complete read through this very helper's three-argument form). It
failed ONLY for the directory shape the convention exists to name: a
mid-migration bracket repo carrying legacy `01-one` dirs resolved fine, which is
why nothing caught it. Measured, bracket vs its flat-legacy twin:
`[["01","no_directory",0,0],["02","no_directory",0,0]]` against
`[["01","complete",1,1],["02","planned",1,0]]`.

The oracle is the twin, computed in the same test run, plus exact literals —
`grep disk_status tests/adr-612-*` was zero hits before this, so neither the fix
nor a future regression had any gate at all.

Disclosed: a ROADMAP written in bracket form before config.json is switched
reads as empty rather than mis-counted. Silent invisibility during the migration
window is the deliberate trade against claiming phases on projects that never
opted in.

* feat(#2761): validate.cts selects its grammar; gated directory recognition

The W006/W007 feeders take the resolved convention as a threaded parameter.
These sites carry the letter-tolerant `[\w][\w.-]*` capture, which makes them
where an ungated widening does the most damage: `### [RFC.2119] 5:` enters
roadmapPhases as a phantom and becomes a W007 "in ROADMAP.md but no directory on
disk" on a project that never opted in.

buildRoadmapPhaseVariants also surfaces the tokens borne ONLY by sentinel-bracket
headings. Surfaced rather than filtered in place because roadmapPhases feeds both
a membership check and a missing-directory warning, and only the latter should
ignore an icebox item.

That set is OCCURRENCE-AWARE, and the subtlety is load-bearing: roadmapPhases is
a TOKEN set, so `[GSD.999] 01` and `[GSD.02] 01` collapse to one entry. Keying
suppression on the token alone let an icebox heading silence a REAL phase that
happens to share its number — a false negative strictly worse than the warning it
removed. A token is suppressed only when no non-sentinel heading bears it.

Directory recognition is added as gated FUNCTIONS beside the exported RegExp
constants, which stay byte-identical: the `{CODE}.{MM}-` prefix is
string-indistinguishable from the letter-prefixed-decimal family this repo
documents as ambiguous, and folding a branch in changes those constants' answers
on exactly that family. A RegExp constant has nowhere to attach a gate.

The recognizer mirrors the emit grammar and delegates the token to the canonical
owner, so recognizer and resolver agree on rejected input as well as accepted.
Both functions throw on a non-string, matching the call pattern they replace.

buildRoadmapPhaseVariants' CHECKLIST scan is capturing, like its heading twin
and like the sibling checklist scan in roadmap.cts, and for the reason that one
states: the bracket id has to ride along or the sentinel filter is blind to
`- [ ] **[GSD.999] 01: Icebox**`. Left un-capturing, the scan called every
checklist token REAL, and the occurrence-aware un-suppression loop then deleted
the icebox token the HEADING scan had correctly marked sentinel — so `validate
consistency` warned that a bracket ICEBOX phase had no directory, in the HOUSE
ROADMAP shape where an icebox appears as both a bold bullet and a detail
heading. `validate health` stayed silent on that same repo, so the two verbs
disagreed — which is the disagreement `sentinelPhases` exists to close.

Both directions are pinned, because the failure mode of a careless fix here is
the opposite one: a real phase sharing a sentinel's token must still warn. It
does, in all four shapes that attack it (sentinel heading + real bullet,
lowercase sentinel, sentinel after the real heading, colon-less bullet).

* fix(#2761): count bracket headings, and retire them, in both derivations

Both `total_phases` derivations select their grammar from the resolved
convention, in one commit — cmdStateSync already carries the comment that it
mirrors buildStateFrontmatter "so both report consistent percents (#3242 Bug B)",
so teaching one and not the other ships that divergence.

The #1514 retirement filter widens WITH the counter it protects. The canonical
gesture strikes the checklist BULLET and leaves the detail heading intact, so a
bracket-form retirement went undetected and the phase stayed in the denominator
forever. That is half a fix alone: the retired key is compared against
phaseKeyFromDir, which called extractPhaseToken with no convention. Both halves
land here.

Under bracket the sentinel token rule composes as the full engine set {0, 999},
so this counter agrees with `roadmap analyze`, which has always excluded both —
otherwise the two derivations report different numbers for one ROADMAP and the
changeset's "excluded from every count" is false as written. The LEGACY path
keeps its pre-existing 999-only rule: widening it there would move legacy totals,
so the two stay split off the bracket path exactly as they are today.

The sync-side assertion reads the PERCENT sync writes into the STATE.md body, not
the frontmatter total_phases. Sync's own counter never reaches that field — the
read derivation writes it — so asserting the frontmatter after a sync measures the
read path twice and lets a mutation to the write-path guard survive.

* feat(#2761): verify.cts bracket-coherence W021 + selected milestone-complete read

The shipped milestone-prefixed W021 gate keeps its ROOT-only config read,
verbatim base semantics. Federating it silently moved a legacy convention's
answer in BOTH directions on workstream repos — a W021 that fires at base
vanishing, and one that is silent at base firing. resolvePhaseIdConvention
governs the new bracket-selection reads only.

B6, the milestone-complete check, keeps its ungated POSTURE (bug-557 pins it
with an empty config) but selects its grammar from the convention. Inferring
'bracket' from the shape of a matched bracket ran a repo-failing check against a
legacy ROADMAP that merely contained `### [RFC.2119] 5:`. Directory resolution
widens with the heading read, so a bracket repo whose phases are on disk stays
silent, and a bracket sentinel is not reported as unstarted.

checkBracketCoherence is advisory and gated. Anchored to tokenizeHeadings so
fenced examples cannot warn and heading level is structural. Its scope rules each
close a way it silently did nothing or fired wrongly: only a genuine MILESTONE
heading opens or closes a section (a `### Notes` used to reset scope and disable
both sub-checks); a legacy `## v3.0` DOES close it; an M-NN or letter-suffixed
phase heading raises missing-bracket and CONTINUES; a bare `#### 2026:` is not a
phase; the full h2-h6 range is processed. Its section recognizer shares the one
milestone width, so an unpadded `### [GSD.3] 05:` can no longer be a phase to the
id grammar and a section to the section grammar at once, silently re-scoping
every warning after it.

validate consistency suppresses bracket sentinels in its missing-directory
warning — the two verbs disagreed, health suppressing via notStartedPhases while
consistency did not. The legacy reading is untouched, including its pre-existing
wart that `### Phase 999:` still warns there.

* fix(#2761): scope the milestone by its bracket; select the disk-side filter

Two roadmap-parser reads, both of which made a bracket project's totals track
the disk instead of the ROADMAP.

The ADR pins the bracket milestone heading as `## [GSD.02] Foundation` — a name,
no version — but scoping matched STATE's `milestone: v2.0` STRING against a
heading, so the canonical form matched nothing and total_phases fell back to the
directory count. The rule was re-derived in THREE places: extractCurrentMilestone
plus two `milestoneBounded` guards; fixing one left the others falling back
regardless, so they are now one gated helper. It matches the CANONICAL padded
spelling only — accepting `0*N` bounded a milestone whose phases were invisible,
which un-suppressed a progress percent computed off an unscoped disk count.

getMilestonePhaseFilter's heading scan becomes the 14th selected read. On a
bracket ROADMAP it collected nothing, so the filter degraded to pass-all and
buildStateFrontmatter counted every other milestone's directories — making the
bracket convention strictly worse than the M-NN one it supersedes on the property
that matters most: totals must track the ROADMAP, not the disk.

The DIRECTORY side of that same filter is selected with it. Teaching only the
heading scan was half a fix and a worse one: `milestonePhaseNums` became
non-empty, so the pass-all degrade stopped firing, but no bracket directory could
satisfy the three legacy dir checks (numericRe fails on `GSD.02-05-five`, the
custom-id match captures the project code `GSD`, and stripProjectCodePrefix does
not strip a dotted prefix). Every bracket directory was rejected, and
completed_phases / total_plans / completed_plans / percent all collapsed to 0
while `state sync` went on writing a percent off the unfiltered disk — `state
json` reporting 0% on the same repo, in the same second, that STATE.md's body
called 67%. That is the #3242 Bug B divergence this PR exists to avoid, and
total_phases could not show it: `Math.max(phaseDirs.length, roadmapPhaseCount)`
floors it at the ROADMAP count no matter how many directories are rejected.

The dir side matches on the milestone-QUALIFIED id, delegated to the owner's
gated `phaseTokenMatches(dir, id, 'bracket')`, not on the bare token: READING-B
puts the milestone in the bracket, so `GSD.01-01-old-one` and `GSD.02-01-one`
share the token `01` and only the qualified key separates them. The qualified ids
are kept in their own set — a hyphen in `milestonePhaseNums` would flip
`roadmapUsesHyphenedIds` and silently move the LEGACY dir path on a bracket repo
— and the branch is ADDITIVE: on a miss it falls through to the three legacy
checks, so a bracket project carrying legacy-shaped directories reads unchanged.

Both are resolved lazily and gated, so the legacy path pays neither a config read
nor a second scan and cannot change answer. The scoping call is also GUARDED:
resolvePhaseIdConvention reaches planningDir, which throws a plain Error for a
GSD_PROJECT/GSD_WORKSTREAM segment carrying `/`, `\` or `..`. At base the only
planningDir call in extractCurrentMilestone sits inside the STATE-read try, so
the function returned normally on such an environment; an unguarded one here let
that escape and broke the never-throws invariant that getRoadmapPhaseInternal and
getMilestoneInfo three hundred lines below carry #2245 / ADR-227 notes about.
Unreachable through the CLI — GSD_WORKSTREAM is rejected up front by the
workstream-name policy and GSD_PROJECT throws identically at base — but reachable
by any in-process embedder, which is precisely who that invariant is for. The
filter's own resolve call was already inside its try and is unaffected.

The milestone-qualified key is formed only for a token that is itself a bracket
phase token. `${bracketId}-${token}` is a string SPLICE, so a mid-migration
heading carrying an M-NN label — `### [GSD.02] Phase 02-01:` — spliced to
`GSD.02-02-01`, which the qualified-key grammar reads as milestone 02 / phase 02:
the `-01` truncated, both such headings collapsing to one key, and the heading
claiming `GSD.02-02-two`, the directory it does NOT name, while rejecting
`GSD.02-01-one`, the one it does. The guard drops those headings back to the
unqualified legacy path, restoring the base ACCEPTANCE VECTOR exactly — pinned
against the milestone-prefixed reading of the same ROADMAP, which is
base-identical on this shape.

Scoped precisely, because the fixture moves one number that the guard does not
touch: `total_phases` on it reads 1 at base and 2 here. That is the bracket
heading COUNT this PR exists to add, not the splice — measured identical with and
without the guard, and identical to what the canonical `### [GSD.02] 01:`
spelling does on the same fixture (both read 2 with zero directories on disk,
where base reads 0). The claim is base-equivalent ACCEPTANCE, not a
base-equivalent reading.

One consequence is stated rather than fixed: a heading whose token carries a
hyphen still puts that hyphen into milestonePhaseNums and so still flips
`roadmapUsesHyphenedIds`. Base does the same for that spelling, so preserving it
is what keeps the shape base-equivalent; excluding the token would have moved
answers versus base on malformed input. The comment at the qualified-set
declaration is corrected to claim only what is true — it keeps QUALIFIED IDS out
of that flag's input, not hyphens in general.

The oracles ship with it, and they are the five numbers, not the one: the parity
gate now asserts total_phases, completed_phases, total_plans, completed_plans AND
percent, on both derivations, on two fixture shapes (one milestone; two
milestones with stale prior-milestone directories on disk). The oracle is the
flat-legacy twin, built in the same test run and compared number for number,
plus exact literals so a shared wrong answer cannot pass.

The oracle SUBSTITUTION is itself pinned. The M-NN spelling of these shapes could
not serve, because buildStateFrontmatter's #2445 de-dup key captures only a
directory's leading integer and collapses `02-01-one` / `02-02-two` /
`02-03-three` to one — measured [3,0,1,0,0] against the flat-legacy twin's
[3,2,3,2,67], identically at base and before this fix, and structurally
unreachable from the bracket key space. That reasoning is only sound while it
stays true, so a characterization test holds the M-NN reading down on the two
numbers that do not depend on which directory wins the mtime race. Widen the
de-dup key and it fails, instead of quietly invalidating the changeset's
disclosure.

Also adds the call-site pin. The structural table pins transcription against the
selector; it cannot see a call site whose BASELINE ARGUMENT is wrong. Flipping
verify.cts's milestone-complete site to the wider baseline grants a
fires-on-every-repo check tolerance it has never had, and every behavioural test
still passed. The pin reads the shipped sources and asserts the mode at each of
the 14 sites, count-exact.

* test(#2761): pin the bracket read surfaces in the parity gate

This gate exists because #2043 fixed one bug across five hand-edited copies of a
rule and #2232 was the residual that survived, because a later reader could not
tell the copies were one rule. PR-2 adds two consumers, so they belong here.

Surface 7 — the heading read and the directory read must agree about WHICH phase
a `MM-<seg>` pair names, across the shared width corpus, and the bracket and
legacy spellings of one heading must yield the same token.

Surface 8 — the two bracket directory readers, in BOTH directions. Agreement on
ACCEPTED input was already pinned; agreement on REJECTED input is where they
actually diverged.

* chore(#2761): changeset

Disclosures for the PR body (deliberate, not defects):

- phase_id_convention is not a CONFIG_DEFAULTS key, so loadConfig drops it and
  cannot serve as the convention resolver however the file is federated. This PR
  ships its own workstream->root resolver; adding the key and its value enum is
  later-slice work.
- Convention matching is strictly === 'bracket'. A misspelled value reads as
  not-configured and the project keeps legacy behaviour silently.
- An UNPADDED bracket milestone (`[GSD.2]`) is malformed: it scopes nothing,
  bounds nothing, sections nothing, and is not a phase id. W005 on its
  directories is the surfacing signal.
- WIDTH UNIFICATION MOVED FOUR MERGED PR-1 EXPORT ANSWERS on non-canonical
  inputs, none of which toDir can emit and none of which had a bracket caller at
  base:
    isSentinelPhaseId('GSD.0-01',    'bracket')  true  -> false
    isSentinelPhaseId('GSD.0999-01', 'bracket')  true  -> false
    getMilestoneFromPhaseId('GSD.2-01',   'bracket')  'v2.0' -> null
    getMilestoneFromPhaseId('GSD.002-01', 'bracket')  'v2.0' -> null
  The canonical pad2 sentinel spelling `[GSD.00]` still tests true.
- FLAG TO MAINTAINER: docs/adr/612:132 reads "Sentinel behavior (0.x / 999.x ->
  milestone null) is preserved". After the unification that holds for the
  canonical `00` spelling only, not for a bare `[GSD.0]`. ADR wording is yours;
  flagging the tension rather than editing it.
- The bracket sentinel rule COMPOSES with the legacy one — a bracketed heading is
  a sentinel when its bracket milestone OR its token is reserved. Under bracket
  the state-side token rule is the full {0, 999} set so both derivations agree;
  the LEGACY path keeps its pre-existing 999-only rule, unchanged.
- validate consistency's legacy reading is untouched, including the pre-existing
  wart that `### Phase 999:` warns there while validate health suppresses it.
- find-phase still cannot resolve a bracket phase directory. phase-locator.cts is
  outside this PR's module set. Sibling PR #2559's matchPhaseDirs calls
  phaseTokenMatches without a convention, so whichever slice lands second must
  thread it through.
- Four of the five bracket readers scan raw ROADMAP content, so a bracket heading
  inside a fenced code block is read as a phase. Pre-existing for the legacy
  spelling; parity, not a new class.
- roadmapPhaseLookupSources gained no bracket source: nothing emits a
  milestone-qualified query into it yet.
- roadmap validate remains a separate, unfederated convention reader.
  Pre-existing and base-identical, but two verbs can disagree about the active
  convention on one project.
- _diskScanCache keys on cwd while the values it caches are now
  convention-dependent. Not reproducible through the CLI; pre-existing for the
  workstream dimension, widened here. Stated as inconclusive.
- A ROADMAP written in bracket form before config.json is switched reads as empty
  rather than mis-counted — the deliberate migration-window trade.
- THE READ AND WRITE PERCENTS STILL DIVERGE ON A MULTI-MILESTONE REPO, and that
  divergence is MIRRORED under bracket rather than closed. buildStateFrontmatter
  applies the milestone filter; cmdStateSync does its own fs.readdirSync and never
  calls it, so on a repo carrying prior-milestone directories the read path
  reports the SCOPED percent and the sync body reports the WHOLE-DISK one.
  Measured on the true base build (d04592de), flat-legacy spelling, 3 in-scope
  phases with 1 complete plus 2 stale prior-milestone dirs: `state json`
  [3,1,3,1,33], sync body 60%. The bracket twin of that repo now reads the same
  two numbers — 33 and 60. Scoping the sync counter would move every legacy
  repo's percent, which a bracket read-path PR must not do. The gate pins both
  sides, so the mirror cannot silently become a one-sided fix.
- THE PARITY ORACLE IS THE FLAT-LEGACY TWIN, NOT THE M-NN ONE, and that is a
  measurement finding rather than a preference. buildStateFrontmatter's #2445
  de-dup key captures only a directory's LEADING integer, so the M-NN dirs
  `02-01-one` / `02-02-two` / `02-03-three` all key to `2` and two of the three
  are dropped before they are ever counted: base reads [3,0,1,0,0] where the
  flat-legacy twin of the same repo reads [3,2,3,2,67]. Present identically at
  base and at HEAD, untouched here, and structurally unreachable from the bracket
  key space — `GSD.02-01-one` does not match that pattern at all, so every bracket
  directory keys to its own name. The source line already carries a
  `phase-id-owner:` sanction recording the divergence. Mirroring it under bracket
  would mean manufacturing a collision that cannot occur, so the gate compares
  against the flat-legacy spelling, which is uncontaminated. This paragraph is
  itself pinned: a characterization test holds the M-NN reading on the two
  numbers that do not depend on which directory wins the mtime race, so widening
  the de-dup key in a later slice fails the suite rather than silently making
  this disclosure false.
- THE `phaseTokenMatches` CALL-SITE CENSUS, stated so the remaining gaps are
  auditable rather than implied. 13 call sites outside the owner (phase-id.cts).
  THREE are three-argument: verify.cts:2229 (the W021 milestone-complete read,
  already was), roadmap.cts:436 (`roadmap analyze`'s directory lookup, threaded
  by this PR) and roadmap-parser.cts:792 (the disk-side milestone filter, added
  by this PR). The other TEN are two-argument and stay that way — phase.cts ×5
  (220, 277, 444, 585, 1547), phase-locator.cts:62, smart-entry.cts:243,
  init.cts:1414, milestone.cts:551 and verify.cts:2467. All ten are untouched by
  this PR and base-identical.
  One of them sits in a file this PR DOES edit, so it is named rather than left
  to a reader's grep: verify.cts:2467, `verify schema-drift <phase>`. Measured on
  a bracket repo across base / pre-fix branch / this HEAD, all three agree on all
  three argument forms — `verify schema-drift GSD.02-01` and `… 01` both report
  "Phase directory not found" on every build, and `… GSD.02-01-one` resolves on
  every build through the exact-directory-name fallback. So the user-visible
  shape of what stays broken is: a bracket phase is addressable there by full
  directory name only, exactly as at base. Threading the convention into a
  function this PR never touched, in the last round before ship, is the wrong
  trade; it is where the same one-argument fix goes next, alongside
  milestone.cts:551 and init.cts:1414.
- A BRACKET HEADING WHOSE TOKEN CARRIES A HYPHEN (`### [GSD.02] Phase 02-01:`,
  a mid-migration spelling) forms NO milestone-qualified key, and therefore
  scopes through the unqualified legacy path — base-equivalent ACCEPTANCE, which
  is the claim, and not a base-equivalent reading: `total_phases` on that shape
  moves 1 -> 2 for the same reason it moves on the canonical `### [GSD.02] 01:`
  spelling, because counting bracket headings is what this PR does. Such a token
  still flips `roadmapUsesHyphenedIds`, as it also does at base. The comment at
  the qualified-set declaration now claims only that narrower, true thing.

The `pr:` field carries the sub-issue number as a placeholder — it must be
updated to the real PR number when the PR is opened.

* chore(#2761): point the changeset at PR #2867

* test(#2761): fast-check properties for the convention-selection layer

CONTRIBUTING.md mandates a generative property test for parser/bijective-contract
changes; PR-2 shipped six example-based files and none. This adds the missing
layer, scoped to what PR-2 actually contracts — WHICH pattern each reader
compiles, decided by the resolved `phase_id_convention` — rather than restating
PR-1's grammar round-trip properties, which already live in
tests/adr-612-bracket-grammar.test.cjs.

Four properties: P1 an opted-in repo reads the ADR-canonical label-less bracket
heading/dir and a non-opted-in repo is byte-blind to the identical input; P2
every non-bracket convention agrees with the hand-transcribed BASE source over
generated content, including bracket-DOTTED legacy prose (`[RFC.2119] 5:`) that
must never be claimed as a phase; P3 nine per-field mutations are rejected and
the one case variation folds instead; P4 both sides of a phase comparison derive
the same key under the same convention.

Generators template every input from raw primitives — nothing is seeded through
renderPhaseId/toDir, the p2() tautology that made #2258 round 1's property test
structurally unable to find B1. Domain reaches past 99 into the 3+-digit branch
(round 2's numArb-capped-at-99 miss), forces sub-phases in at weight, and pins
both sentinel milestones.

Falsified against the COMPILED lib, not the source: five deliberate mutants
(gate never fires; gate always fires; milestone width widened to \d+; the #612
convention forwarding dropped from phaseKeyFromDir; extractPhaseToken's bracket
branch ungated) each fail the specific property that should catch them —
16/2, 16/2, 15/3, 17/1, 17/1 pass/fail — and the lib restores byte-identical.

An earlier draft of P2 held vacuously: its base regex omitted the markdown
furniture the selected one carried, so every realistic `### Phase NN:` line
matched neither side. The gate-always-fires mutant did not kill it. Both are now
compiled through one function, and that mutant kills P2.

* test(#2761): adversarial malformed bracket tokens across the tolerant readers

The existing boundary coverage stopped at shapes the emit grammar rejects
(unpadded `[GSD.3]`, wrong-case, `12A`). It never exercised a STRUCTURALLY
broken token — a non-numeric milestone, a bracket that never closes, a bracket
nested in another — which is the input a tolerant reader is most likely to
half-read, and the one the PR's own regex commentary is explicit about.

read-tolerance (roadmap heading scan + validate's dir and variant builders):
ten malformed headings, each asserted to be read as a phase by NO convention and
to give the opted-in repo the same answer as the legacy one; the corpus driven
through `roadmap analyze` end to end; malformed DIRECTORY names asserted
unrecognized and non-throwing on all four conventions; and the two variant
builders asserted to agree, since a widening that reaches only one splits
`validate consistency` from `validate health` (the #3242 Bug B shape).

coherence (verify.cts W021): the same six broken shapes asserted to raise no
W021 of their own AND not to re-scope the W021 that follows them — the G2
failure mode reached from a different shape, where a heading that is not a phase
but IS read as a section silently moves later warnings onto the wrong milestone.

Both files gain a pathological-input time bound. Nested quantifiers over a long
unclosed bracket are the classic ReDoS shape and two commits on next (#2828,
#2944) were CodeQL-flagged for exactly that, so the bound is asserted rather
than argued from reading the pattern. The probes themselves parse no regex.

* docs(#2761): document "bracket" as a phase_id_convention value

The row listed only `"milestone-prefixed"` and `null`, so after two shipped
slices (#2258 grammar, this PR's read path) the convention had no documented
enum value. CONFIGURATION.md is also a top-10 historical co-changer of both
src/verify.cts and src/state.cts and was absent from this PR.

The row states the boundary rather than the ambition: `"bracket"` changes the
READ path only, there is no migrator and no emit yet, and a project on any other
value compiles the patterns it compiled before. That keeps the docs honest for
the two releases before PR-3 and PR-4 land, instead of describing a convention a
user cannot yet migrate to.

* chore(#2761): retype the changeset Added, drop the docs-exempt marker

`Fixed` was wrong by CONTRIBUTING.md's own definition — a fix restores
documented behavior, and bracket read tolerance is the second slice of a
capability that did not exist before #2258. The type also carried a
`docs-exempt` marker, and `Fixed`/`Security` are exempt from the docs-required
lint, so the typing had the effect of routing around a gate this change should
pass. It now passes it: `lint-docs-required` returns ok_docs_updated on the
CONFIGURATION.md row added in the previous commit.

Body gains one sentence pointing at that row and restating that `"bracket"` is a
read-path opt-in until the migrator and write path land.

* test(#2761): pin the version-less bracket milestone scoping gap; narrow the claim

The changeset asserted that milestone scoping "recognises the ADR-canonical
`## [GSD.02] Foundation` heading and applies to the phase DIRECTORIES too." A
CLI probe on that exact heading form falsifies the second half: with no `vN.N`
in the milestone heading the directory side does not scope, and directories from
BOTH the prior and the later milestone are admitted. Measured 4 dirs counted
where the milestone declares 2.

Every bracket fixture in the suite writes `## [GSD.02] v2.0: …`, so nothing
covered the form the ADR actually specifies — and the state.cts doc comment
calls that version-less form canonical.

Mechanism, in extractCurrentMilestone: the bracket scope branch selects the
right currentSection, but `preambleCutoff` keys off a pattern requiring a
version or status emoji, so a version-less roadmap falls back to the current
milestone's own offset and every PRIOR milestone lands in the preamble — whose
phase-stripping regex only strips `Phase N:`-labelled headings, so bracket phase
headings survive it. Independently, `computeSectionEnd` accepts a boundary only
on a version/emoji heading, so the section runs to EOF and every LATER milestone
is swept in. Two sites, bidirectional.

Not fixed here: it changes milestone scoping, which is shared with the legacy
path. Five characterization tests pin today's reading plus a versioned CONTROL
proving the version string is the only difference, and the changeset sentence is
narrowed to what the code does. The DEFECT assertions are written to be
INVERTED by the fix, not deleted — that inversion is its regression proof.

* docs(#2761): re-anchor the branch's own cross-file line citations after the rebase

Three of this branch's code comments cite sibling call sites by line number, and
the rebase onto 178ec000 moved two of the three targets:

  roadmap-parser.cts  validate.cts:210 -> :218   (const g = capturing ? 1 : 0)
                      state.cts:1715   -> :1752  (const bg = … 'bracket' ? 1 : 0)
  roadmap.cts         verify.cts:2229  -> :2355  (phaseTokenMatches 3-arg form)

`state.cts:1715` had drifted 37 lines and now lands on the retirement skip, not
the capture-offset idiom the sentence is about — the citation read as evidence
for a claim the cited line does not support.

planning-workspace.cts's `config-loader.cts:618/:649` was checked and is still
correct; left alone.

Comment-only. Build, drift guard and the bracket suites re-run unchanged.

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

* fix(#2761): scope the version-less bracket milestone heading too (B1)

computeSectionEnd and the preambleCutoff scan in extractCurrentMilestone
(roadmap-parser.cts) only recognized a milestone boundary heading that
carried a vN.N token or a status emoji. The ADR-canonical bracket
heading (## [GSD.02] Foundation) carries neither, so on that shape
computeSectionEnd fell through to content.length (sweeping every LATER
milestone into scope) and preambleCutoff fell back to the current
milestone's own offset (leaking every PRIOR milestone's bracket phases
into the preamble, whose Phase-N: strip regex never matches them).

Under the bracket scope branch, both sites now also accept a
`#{1,2}\s+\[CODE.MM\]` boundary, built from phase-id.cts's BRACKET_ID_SRC
(single owner of the bracket-id grammar) rather than a re-typed literal.
`#{1,2}` is the deliberate discriminator: a bracket PHASE heading is
level 3 and shares the same `[CODE.MM]` prefix, so a `#{1,3}` boundary
would swallow it too. Reachable only when bracketScopeConvention ===
'bracket' was already resolved (i.e. the bracket scope branch actually
fired), so version-bearing/emoji headings and non-bracket conventions
take the exact pre-existing code path byte-identically — confirmed by
the full adr-612 suite staying green.

Inverts the four DEFECT assertions in the
"#612 PR-2 CHARACTERIZATION: a version-less bracket milestone does not
scope" describe block (tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs)
into their regression-proof form, per the block's own doc comment, and
reframes the describe title/comments accordingly. Corrects the
.changeset/2761-bracket-read-tolerance.md fragment, which described the
directory-side version-less gap as an open, un-closed bound.

* fix(#2761): thread sentinelPhases into validate health's W006 loop (B2)

cmdValidateHealth's W006 loop (src/verify.cts) destructured only
roadmapPhases from buildRoadmapPhaseVariants, not sentinelPhases —
unlike cmdValidateConsistency, which already skips sentinelPhases with
the identical guard a few hundred lines up. A heading-only bracket
icebox/pre-milestone entry ([GSD.999] / [GSD.00]) therefore gained a
false W006 "no directory on disk" from validate health while validate
consistency correctly stayed silent on the very same ROADMAP — the two
validators contradicting each other.

Threads sentinelPhases through and skips it before the existsOnDisk
check, mirroring the consistency guard exactly. Gated the same way
sentinelPhases already is (empty unless phase_id_convention is
'bracket'), so a legacy repo's W006 reading — including its own
pre-existing wart where a legacy `### Phase 999:` still warns on both
verbs — is untouched; confirmed by the existing "INHERITED WART,
unchanged" test staying green.

Adds the paired-agreement regression test (#612 PR-2 B2 describe block
in tests/adr-612-bracket-read-tolerance.test.cjs): a sentinel-only
bracket roadmap must produce no missing-directory warning from EITHER
validator, plus a CONTROL proving a real phase with no directory still
warns on both. Confirmed red (health false-W006) against the pre-fix
code before applying the fix.

Corrects the .changeset/2761-bracket-read-tolerance.md fragment, which
described the asymmetry as already closed and in the wrong direction
(it credited validate health with already staying silent, when health
was the one falsely warning).

* test(#2761): pin mixed-shape preamble cutoff and boundary heading levels

Closes two self-flagged coverage gaps in the B1 fix (commit 08d5b0c4)
ahead of adversarial review. No src change — all three new tests are
green against the code as committed.

1. earliest-of-either preambleCutoff comparison: only exercised where
   the version/emoji match and the bracket match happen to land on the
   same heading. Adds the mid-migration mixed shape (version-bearing
   PRIOR + version-less CURRENT) and asserts scoping outcomes (accepts
   booleans + total_phases), not internals.

2. `h.level <= 2` conjunct in computeSectionEnd: provably redundant
   whenever the selected milestone heading is level 2 (every existing
   fixture), since `h.level > level` alone already implies it there —
   a mutant deleting the conjunct would have survived every prior test
   in this file. Adds a level-3 CURRENT-heading fixture (with a real
   PRIOR milestone so the preamble side-channel can't independently
   rescue the truncated phases) that makes the conjunct's deletion
   test-visible, confirmed by hand-mutating a throwaway copy of the
   compiled output (never touching tracked src or the real build) and
   observing the assertion flip. Also pins a level-1 companion case
   (#{1,2} tolerance, not just level 2).

NOT included here: the other mixed-shape direction (version-less PRIOR
+ version-bearing CURRENT) turned out to be a genuine, currently-unfixed
gap — reported separately rather than silently patched or weakened, per
instruction not to touch src while a probe run is in flight.

* fix(#2761): engage bracket boundaries when the current milestone heading is version-bearing (B3, self-caught)

Found during round-2 self-verification of B1 (commit 08d5b0c4), while
closing the mixed-heading-shape coverage gaps flagged in my own review
notes. The B1 fix resolved `bracketScopeConvention` only inside the
`if (headingMatches.length === 0)` gate that also drives SELECTION's
own bracket fallback (which heading counts as "current"). That gate is
correct for selection, but `bracketScopeConvention` also feeds
computeSectionEnd's and preambleCutoff's boundary detection further
down — which accidentally inherited selection's gate instead of having
its own.

Trigger shape: the CURRENT milestone heading is itself version-bearing
(`## [GSD.02] v2.0: Current Milestone`), so the primary version-string
match succeeds immediately — headingMatches.length !== 0 from the very
first check — and the entire bracket-resolution branch was skipped. A
sibling milestone (PRIOR or LATER) that is version-less then got
neither the version/emoji boundary rule (it has none) nor the bracket
boundary rule (never resolved), reproducing the original #612 defect
(total_phases falling back to the whole-disk count) through a
structural shape B1's own fixtures never exercised — every one of them
is uniformly version-bearing or uniformly version-less across all
three milestones, never mixed with CURRENT specifically being the
version-bearing one.

Fix: resolve `bracketScopeConvention` unconditionally, decoupled from
`headingMatches.length`. SELECTION is deliberately left untouched — the
`if (headingMatches.length === 0 && bracketScopeConvention === 'bracket')`
fallback that picks which heading is "current" keeps its original gate
byte-for-byte (confirmed by diff: that line is unmodified). Only the
convention *resolution* moved out from behind it, so boundary detection
can consult it regardless of which branch selected the heading. The
extra `resolvePhaseIdConvention` call this now costs on every
invocation (previously paid only when the version match found nothing)
is the accepted cost: a non-bracket repo still resolves to something
other than 'bracket' (or null on a poisoned env, caught exactly as
before), so `bracketMilestoneHeadingRe` stays null and every downstream
branch is byte-identical to today — confirmed by the full adr-612 +
roadmap-parser + state + verify + health-validation suite staying green
(1260/1260) and the all-version-bearing/legacy fixtures showing no
behavior change.

TDD: tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs describe block
"#612 PR-2 B3: bracket boundaries engage even when CURRENT is
version-bearing but a sibling is not" — 4 tests, confirmed red against
pre-fix code (leak-in booleans true/true, total_phases 4) before this
change, green after.

* fix(#2761): reject same-milestone continuation headings as boundaries (B1)

Gate-2 adversarial review Blocker 1: the B1/B3 boundary fired on ANY
as the one currently selected — a version-less checklist/detail split
(`## [GSD.02] Foundation (Phase Details)`, or an ad-hoc continuation
heading) truncated the current milestone's own section instead of
being recognised as a continuation of it. The `(Phase Details)`
re-append only searches VERSION-STRING matches, so a version-less
continuation heading was cut out and never re-appended — a confidently
wrong, non-degraded phase count for a still-incomplete milestone
(repro8 case 1: 1/1/100 instead of 2/1/50; repro5: same, on a fully
version-less roadmap with no sibling milestones at all).

Introduces one shared helper, isBracketMilestoneBoundary(headingText,
level, selectedBracketId), used by both computeSectionEnd and the
preambleCutoff bracket scan, replacing the ungated `h.level <= 2 &&
bracketMilestoneHeadingRe.test(...)` inline check. `selectedBracketId`
(case-folded via phase-id.cts's foldBracketId, matching the branch's
own fold-before-identity convention) is derived from `selected[0]`,
which is the full matched heading line on BOTH selection paths
(version-string and bracket-fallback), so one extraction covers both.

Level cap stays at `level > 2` for now (temporary — ADR-612's content
discriminator replaces it in the next commit); same-milestone rejection
is the change this commit is scoped to.

DEVIATION from the reviewed plan, caught empirically: applying the
same-milestone rejection at the preambleCutoff site (as literally
specified) regressed an existing pin ("boundary heading level: a
level-1 CURRENT milestone heading also scopes correctly") and a
fenced-heading case (repro10 A3) — because preambleCutoff's job is
"where does the earliest milestone-shaped heading sit, scanning from
the TOP of the document," and the selected heading's own occurrence is
always a correct answer to that question regardless of same-id-ness;
rejecting it let the earliest-of-either comparison fall through to a
stray LATER heading instead. `selectedBracketId` is threaded through as
`null` at the preambleCutoff call site for this reason — bracket-shaped
(and, from the next commit, phase-tail) discrimination still applies
uniformly at both sites; only the same-milestone component is
call-site-specific, since it encodes a "keep scanning past this
heading" instruction with no counterpart in a top-of-document search.

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 B1 round-2: a same-milestone
continuation heading is not a boundary" — RED-turned-GREEN fixtures for
repro8 case 1 and repro5, plus PINs for repro8 case 3 (trailing
different-id icebox still terminates) and repro10 A1 (all-version-
bearing + icebox + Phase Details stays exactly 2/1/50 — no double-count
from the same-milestone exclusion interacting with the pre-existing
detailsMatch re-append). syncedTotal()/syncedPercent() assertions
omitted from the repro10 A1 pin: that fixture carries dirs outside the
current milestone, which exposes the SEPARATE Major 1 defect
(cmdStateSync's body percent from an unfiltered disk scan) — asserted
once Major 1 is fixed, not here.

Full suite green (796/796 across the targeted adr-612 + roadmap-parser

* fix(#2761): bracket boundary discriminates by content, not heading level (B2)

Gate-2 adversarial review Blocker 2: three sites disagreed about which
heading levels are a bracket milestone. The selector
(roadmap-parser.cts's bracket-fallback SELECTION branch,
`^#{1,3}\s+\[CODE.MM\]`) and `isMilestoneBounded` (state.cts) both
admit level 1-3, but isBracketMilestoneBoundary's level cap only
admitted level 1-2 (`h.level <= 2`, from the B1 commit). A `###`-level
bracket milestone heading was therefore SELECTED and BOUNDED but never
TERMINATED: computeSectionEnd ran with level=3, a level-3 SIBLING
milestone survived the pre-existing `h.level > level` (not-deeper)
filter, failed the version/emoji test (version-less), then failed
`h.level <= 2` — falling through to `return content.length` and
sweeping the sibling milestone's own phases into the current one.
Reproduces trek-e's original #612 defect verbatim ("a safe degrade
became a confidently-wrong persisted number") on a heading level the
selector and bounding predicate both already admit (repro2 case C:
4/75% instead of 2/100%; mechanism confirmed directly via repro7 —
extractCurrentMilestone returned the whole 214-byte document).

ADR-612 Decision 1 (docs/adr/612-bracket-phase-id-convention.md:56)
specifies the discriminator as CONTENT, not level: "a phase heading is
a bracket followed by a digit-then-colon ([GSD.02] 05:); a milestone
heading is a bracket followed by a name." Replaces the `level > 2`
rejection with BRACKET_PHASE_TAIL_RE — built by interpolating
phase-id.cts's single-owner phaseHeadingPrefixSrcFor(ANY_BRACKET,
'bracket', false) plus the digit + optional-tag + colon tail every
phase-heading counter in this file already spells, not a re-typed
grammar — and widens the level check to a depth-sanity cap of 3
(mirroring the selector's own `#{1,3}` ceiling; NOT itself a
phase/milestone discriminator). Covers the dotted sub-phase heading
form (`[GSD.02] 05.03:`) via the same `[\w][\w.-]*` token, pinned by a
new fixture — the shape where a regex slip in the tail grammar would
hide.

preambleCutoff's own raw-scan regex is widened from `^(#{1,2})` to
`^(#{1,3})` in lockstep: the outer pattern's level ceiling must track
the helper's cap, or a level-3 PRIOR milestone heading is invisible to
that scan and its own phase heading leaks into the preamble
un-stripped (a real double-count this widening closes, verified
against repro2 case C directly).

The existing "boundary heading level: a level-3 CURRENT milestone
heading still scopes correctly" pin (3e562f12) now passes via a
DIFFERENT mechanism than before — its own neighbours are version-
bearing, so it previously passed via the version/emoji rule (the level
cap was never actually exercised by that fixture, per the round-2
review's own finding); with the content discriminator, the SAME
fixture's level-3 phase headings are now correctly excluded because
they are phase-tail-shaped, not because they are too deep. A
deliberate mechanism change, confirmed by re-running that test green
after this commit.

Also updates the "every selector call site declares the right
baseline" governance pin (adr-612-bracket-heading-selection.test.cjs):
BRACKET_PHASE_TAIL_RE is a new, legitimate ANY_BRACKET call site in
roadmap-parser.cts (always passing the literal 'bracket' convention,
since its only caller is already gated on bracketBoundaryActive) —
EXPECTED count bumped 1->2, with a matching BASE_SITES transcription
entry (identical src to every other ANY_BRACKET site, since the
function is pure).

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 B2 round-2: the bracket boundary
is a CONTENT discriminator, not a level cap" — RED-turned-GREEN for
repro2 case C (exact total AND truthful percent, since
isMilestoneBounded already returns true at #{1,3}) and repro7's
mechanism, a PIN for the dotted sub-phase form, and a re-pin of repro8
case 3 (icebox) under the new mechanism.

Full suite green (907/907 across the targeted adr-612 + roadmap-parser
+ state + phase-id files); node scripts/lint-phase-id-drift.cjs clean;
eslint clean on all changed files.

* fix(#2761): fence-aware preamble cutoff on the bracket branch (Blocker 3)

Gate-2 adversarial review Blocker 3: preambleCutoff's bracket scan used
a raw content.match/matchAll — blind to fenced code blocks — while its
sibling computeSectionEnd (a few lines above it) already consumed
tokenizeHeadings(content), which strips fences. The two halves of one
boundary semantic disagreed about what a heading is.

A fenced markdown example in the preamble containing a bracket heading
(ADR-612's own docs do exactly this) was textually the earliest
`#{1,3} [CODE.MM]` match: preambleCutoff landed INSIDE the fence,
`preamble = content.slice(0, preambleCutoff)` ended with an unclosed
opener, and the unbalanced fence then blinded
getMilestonePhaseFilter's own tokenizeHeadings(scope) call — every
heading in the returned scope vanished, phaseCount degraded to 0, and
the pass-all filter admitted every directory on disk (repro11's
mechanism, confirmed directly: fence count 1/odd, tokenizeHeadings(scope)
-> only "Roadmap"). Regression vs round-1, which had no bracket pattern
to blind and so fell back to the correct heading (repro12 bracket row:
2/1/50 at round-1, 4/3/75 at HEAD).

Fixed by hoisting one tokenizeHeadings(content) call
(currentMilestoneHeadings) shared by computeSectionEnd and the
preambleCutoff scan, which now iterates that same fence-aware token
list instead of a raw regex. HeadingToken.text is already hash-stripped
and trimmed, so isBracketMilestoneBoundary needs no `^#{1,3}\s+`
re-derivation at this site (that spelling would not match h.text — a
note the round-2 review called out explicitly, confirmed while
porting). selectedBracketId stays `null` here, unchanged from the B1
commit's same-milestone-exclusion reasoning.

DISCLOSED, not fixed (explicitly out of scope per the round-2 review's
own minimal-fix note): the LEGACY (non-bracket) anyMilestonePattern
raw-match path shares the identical fence-blindness hazard and stays
byte-identical — a bracket repo whose preamble has a fenced
VERSION-BEARING heading still has the legacy raw-match win the
earliest-of-either min() (repro12's LEGACY control: 4/3/75, unchanged
across base/round-1/HEAD/this commit). Pinned here so a future reviewer
files this as a known, pre-existing gap rather than a new regression.

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 Blocker 3 round-2: preambleCutoff
is fence-aware (bracket branch only)" — RED-turned-GREEN for repro12's
bracket row and repro11's mechanism (fence balance + non-degraded
phaseCount + correct per-directory admission), a PIN for repro12's
LEGACY control (the disclosed gap, explicitly unchanged), and a PIN for
repro10 A3 (a fenced heading INSIDE the current section must still not
terminate it).

Full suite green (1072/1072 across the targeted adr-612 + roadmap-
parser + state + phase-id + markdown-sectionizer files); node

* fix(#2761): scope cmdStateSync's disk scan by milestone under bracket (Major 1)

Gate-2 adversarial review Major 1: `state sync` wrote a Progress
PERCENT computed from an UNFILTERED whole-disk scan, beside the
milestone-scoped total_phases/completed_phases it writes into the same
STATE.md via the refreshed frontmatter (syncStateFrontmatter ->
buildStateFrontmatter, which has always applied getMilestonePhaseFilter
for the READ path). cmdStateSync's own `fs.readdirSync` chain (the
WRITE-path scan) never called the milestone filter at all, unlike
buildStateFrontmatter's identical-purpose scan. One command therefore
wrote two contradictory numbers into one file: on the ADR-canonical
version-less bracket fixture (4 dirs, 3 complete; asserted milestone =
2 phases, both complete), base wrote total_phases:2/completed_phases:2
(correct, from the READ derivation) alongside body Progress 75% (wrong
— from the unfiltered WRITE derivation; repro3).

Fixed by threading `getMilestonePhaseFilter(cwd)` through the same
`.filter()` chain buildStateFrontmatter already applies, gated on
`syncConvention === 'bracket'` (falling back to a pass-all predicate
otherwise) — so totalDiskPlans/totalDiskSummaries/diskCompletedPhases/
syncTotalPhases become milestone-scoped under bracket, byte-identical
under legacy.

DEVIATION (approved, stated plainly): an earlier phrasing of this fix
called for mirroring buildStateFrontmatter's filter UNCONDITIONALLY.
Implemented GATED instead — an unconditional filter would ALSO move
every LEGACY repo's persisted percent, since the milestone-scoping-vs-
whole-disk divergence this closes is engine-wide, not bracket-specific.
The gate keeps legacy byte-identical, which is the binding constraint:
this is a bracket read-path PR, not a legacy behavior change.

Nit 2 (informational, no code change): 10 calls to
extractCurrentMilestone on a legacy repo cost 10 config.json
existsSync + 10 readFileSync (0 before B3); accepted, unmemoized cost,
unaffected by this commit.

Also folds in two minors from the round-2 review:
- Corrects .changeset/2761-bracket-read-tolerance.md: the sibling-
  exclusion sentence now states it holds at any heading level 1-3 and
  across a milestone split over two headings (true again now that
  Blockers 1 and 2 are fixed); the percent sentence states plainly that
  `state sync`'s body percent is now milestone-scoped under bracket,
  and unaffected under legacy.
- Records the read/write scoping divergence at currentMilestoneRawRanges
  (src/roadmap-parser.cts) in a comment: it did not receive B1/B2's
  bracket boundary fixes, currently harmless (its only consumer falls
  back to whole-content mutation, and every mutation there is still
  Phase-labelled-only, not bracket-widened), but live the moment the
  write path is bracket-widened — flagged so a future PR closes it in
  lockstep with that work, not after.

Tests: 6 pre-existing tests in tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs
needed fixture updates, not logic changes — they used the default
single directory (`GSD.02-01-setup`, phase "01"), which the SENTINEL/
retirement/mixed-heading fixtures in those tests never declare as a
real phase (only 04/05/06/999/etc are declared). Before this fix,
cmdStateSync's unfiltered scan counted that off-roadmap directory
anyway; after this fix the milestone filter correctly excludes it,
which for several of these fixtures made `state sync` a no-op (the
computed 0% coincided with STATE.md's initial template default) and
broke `syncedTotal()`/`syncedPercent()`'s ability to observe anything.
Updated each to pass an EXPLICIT directory naming one of the fixture's
REAL declared phases, preserving each test's original numerator/
denominator intent. One test — "shape 2 WRITE" — was substantively
rewritten: it was a CHARACTERIZATION of the Major 1 bug itself ("the
DISCLOSED legacy gap, mirrored — not closed"), and now correctly pins
bracket closing to 33% (agrees with the read path) while legacy stays
at the disclosed 60% (unchanged, deliberately, per the gating decision
above).

Full suite green: `npm test` 1449/1449 (0 fail, 0 skipped, 0 todo,
single-shard "all" run — includes issue-2765-brace-expansion-lockfile
passing); `npm run lint:ci` clean (0 errors; 2 pre-existing timing-
assertion warnings in files this PR does not touch); node

* fix(#2761): preambleCutoff identity is offset- and child-aware (round-3 Blocker 1)

Gate-2 round-3 re-verify Blocker 1 (NEW): the round-2 B1 deviation
(39c42a89) threaded `selectedBracketId` as the real value at
computeSectionEnd but as bare `null` at the preambleCutoff scan. The
deviation's rationale — "the selected heading's own occurrence is
always a correct earliest answer" — was right, but `null` disables the
same-milestone check for EVERY candidate, not just the selected one.
Any bracket-shaped heading earlier than the selected milestone was
accepted as a boundary regardless of identity: a same-id checklist/
overview heading preceding the version-bearing selected heading (cases
A, B — the version lands on the LATER half of a split, or a plain
overview heading with no "(Phase Details)" spelling), or a DIFFERENT-id
bracket-shaped PROSE heading with no children of its own sitting above
the current milestone's content (case D — `## [ADR.612] Heading
convention used by this roadmap`). In every case the region between
that false boundary and the real sectionStart was silently dropped —
a completed phase vanished and `state sync` persisted a confident 0%
where base and round-1 both correctly wrote 50%. Regression vs base
AND round-1 (not merely "under-fixed", per the round-3 review's own
severity note).

Fixed with two changes, both scoped to the preambleCutoff scan only
(computeSectionEnd already threads the real `selectedBracketId` and is
untouched):

(a) `h.offset === sectionStart` now bypasses BOTH the same-milestone
    check inside isBracketMilestoneBoundary (passing the REAL
    `selectedBracketId` for every other candidate) and the new child
    rule below — the selected heading's own position is definitionally
    the correct answer, so neither discriminator should run against it
    (rejecting it would mean rejecting the heading against ITSELF).
    Closes cases A and B — verified by the reviewer's own one-liner,
    reproduced here.

(b) New `bracketHeadingHasMatchingChild`: an otherwise-accepted
    candidate (bracket-shaped, not phase-tail-shaped, not the same id
    as the selected milestone) must ALSO have a next-strictly-deeper
    heading carrying its OWN bracket id to count as a boundary. This is
    what a genuine sibling milestone has (its own phase children share
    its bracket id — `## [GSD.01] Setup` / `### [GSD.01] 01: …`) and an
    unrelated bracket-shaped prose heading does not. A candidate with
    no such child at all (childless — e.g. an empty prior milestone, or
    one immediately followed by a same-or-shallower heading) degrades
    to NOT a boundary — over-inclusive, the safe direction: its own
    heading text stays in the preamble, contributing nothing to any
    phase count (not phase-shaped). Closes case D, which (a) alone does
    not — verified: without this rule, `[ADR.612]`'s prose heading is
    indistinguishable from a genuine prior sibling at this site.

As a side effect, also neutralizes Nit 2 (a colon-less `[GSD.02] 05`
heading spuriously terminating the preamble): a colon-less bracket
heading is not phase-tail-shaped so isBracketMilestoneBoundary alone
would accept it, but it is — precisely because it is malformed/
incomplete rather than a real milestone — childless, so the child rule
rejects it too. Pinned.

Known interaction with the fence-blind SELECTION path (disclosed by
the reviewer, not introduced here, tracked for the next commit): when
`sectionPattern` selects a FENCED version-bearing heading (an
extremely pathological shape — a fenced example whose text happens to
match STATE's asserted version), no token exists at `sectionStart`, so
the `h.offset === sectionStart` bypass never fires and the loop falls
through to the ordinary same-id / child-rule checks. This composes
with the round-3 Major 1 fix (next commit) rather than introducing a
new defect — SELECTION itself is untouched by any of this — but is
worth stating plainly rather than rediscovering.

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 Blocker 1 round-3: preambleCutoff
identity is offset- and child-aware" — RED-turned-GREEN for cases A, B
(rv-attack1) and D (rv-attack1b) with syncedTotal()/syncedPercent()
assertions (the persisted 0% is the point), a PIN for a genuine prior
sibling with real children (still excluded), a PIN for a childless
prior sibling (degrades to not-cutting, over-inclusive/safe), a PIN
for the colon-less Nit 2 shape, and the reviewer's rv-mech1 mechanism
re-run as a proper test (scope now equals the full input document,
phaseCount 2, both dirs accepted).

* fix(#2761): fence-aware version/emoji half of preambleCutoff on the bracket branch (round-3 Major 1)

Gate-2 round-3 re-verify Major 1 (NEW): ff6bf0a8 (round-2 Blocker 3)
made the BRACKET half of preambleCutoff's "earliest milestone-shaped
heading" search fence-aware, but left the VERSION/emoji half a raw
`content.match` even on the bracket branch. A fenced VERSION-BEARING
example heading in a bracket repo's preamble (ADR-612's own docs
illustrate the LEGACY heading shape exactly this way, inside a fenced
authoring-guide block) was still textually the earliest match for that
raw regex, winning the min() and un-suppressing a wrong persisted 75%
that base correctly suppressed (rv-attack3c fixture C1: base
suppressed the percent entirely — `isMilestoneBounded` false — HEAD
wrote 75% where truth is 50%).

Fixed by deriving the version/emoji half from the SAME fence-aware
`currentMilestoneHeadings` token list as the bracket half, on the
bracket branch only — the exact `/^Phase\s+\S/i` / `/v\d+\.\d+|✅|📋|🚧/i`
pair `computeSectionEnd` already uses against `h.text`. The non-bracket
(legacy) path is untouched: it keeps the raw `content.match`, byte-
identical to before, including its own fence-blindness (repro12's
LEGACY control, pinned unchanged in the round-2 Blocker-3 test block —
not re-pinned here to avoid duplicating an already-covered assertion).

Not rated Blocker (per the review) because it is not a regression vs
round-1 and the fixture (a version-BEARING fenced example in a bracket
repo) is rarer than the already-fixed bracket-heading case; still
fixed now rather than disclosed, per this arc's own precedent (every
prior "disclose instead of fix" call in this PR has been overturned on
re-review).

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 Major 1 round-3: preambleCutoff's
version/emoji half is fence-aware on the bracket branch" — RED-turned-
GREEN for case C1 (readTotal + syncedPercent, so the persisted 75% is
directly observed, not just the read-path total), PIN for case C2 (the
already-fixed fenced-bracket-heading shape, unchanged).

Targeted suite green: `node --test tests/adr-612-*.test.cjs

* chore(#2761): correct changeset claims + mark runtime-gated BASE_SITES row (round-3 minors)

Gate-2 round-3 re-verify Minor 2: three changeset sentences in
.changeset/2761-bracket-read-tolerance.md were overstated in a new
direction after round-2:

- The split-milestone claim ("across a milestone split over two
  headings") was true only when the version-bearing heading came
  FIRST (repro8 case 1); false when it came LATER (round-3 Blocker 1
  case A). Now restated to say plainly "with the version-bearing
  heading in EITHER position" — true again now that round-3's Blocker
  1 fix lands earlier in this range.
- The "counted from the phases... rather than from every directory on
  disk" claim was false on cases A/B/D (a strict subset of the
  milestone's own phases). Restated as "ALL of the phases... not a
  subset", and extended to state that an unrelated bracket-shaped
  heading with no phase children of its own (case D's `[ADR.612]`
  shape) does not truncate the milestone either — true now, not before.
- "Each widened read is SELECTED by the project's phase_id_convention"
  was literally false for BRACKET_PHASE_TAIL_RE, which is RUNTIME-gated
  (via its only caller, isBracketMilestoneBoundary, itself only
  consulted when bracketBoundaryActive) rather than selector-gated.
  Restated behaviourally: "every widened read ENGAGES only when the
  project's resolved phase_id_convention is bracket" — true for both
  gating mechanisms, so it no longer implies a selector call this site
  does not make.

Minor 1: the STRUCTURAL IDENTITY test's BASE_SITES row for
BRACKET_PHASE_TAIL_RE (added in the B2 commit) asserts a property of
`phaseHeadingPrefixSrcFor` — the function — not of the call site; it
would pass unchanged even if the site were deleted. Safety at that
specific site rests entirely on a runtime gate the test cannot see.
Added `runtimeGated: true` to the row and threaded it into the
generated test's own title (`… [runtime-gated, not selector-covered]`),
so the gating mechanism is visible in test OUTPUT, not only in a source
comment that could drift silently.

No production code changed. Targeted suite green (48/48 in the
affected file); `node scripts/changeset/lint.cjs` ok; eslint clean.

* fix(#2761): harden round-3 preamble cutoff — subtree child scan + level cap

Team-lead review of f87bba0e found two edges in the round-3 preamble-
cutoff code, both hardened here.

AMENDMENT 1 — bracketHeadingHasMatchingChild (2e06aef5) checked only
`headings[index + 1]`, the IMMEDIATE next heading, not the candidate's
whole subtree. A genuine prior sibling milestone whose section opens
with a non-bracket subsection before its first phase heading
(`## [GSD.01] Setup` / `### Notes` / `### [GSD.01] 01: Old`) was
therefore wrongly rejected as a boundary — its real phase heading sits
TWO headings deep, not one — leaking its entire section into the
preamble unstripped.

CONFIRMED RED, not merely theoretical (built and ran the fixture
against f87bba0e before touching the fix, per instruction): scope
membership DOES drive the disk-side filter on this shape.
`GSD.01-01-old`'s directory was wrongly admitted into the CURRENT
milestone's filter via the leaked heading's qualified key
(`GSD.01-01`) — 3/2/67% where truth is 2/1/50%.

Fixed by scanning the candidate's full SUBTREE: continue past a
non-matching deeper heading instead of returning false on the first
one; only a same-or-shallower heading actually closes the subtree and
yields "no match found". A candidate whose entire subtree closes with
no same-id hit (including a genuinely childless one) still degrades to
`false` — over-inclusive, safe, unchanged from before.

AMENDMENT 2 — c483552a ported the version/emoji half of preambleCutoff
to the token-based scan with no level cap; the raw
`content.match(anyMilestonePattern)` it replaced was anchored
`^#{1,3}\s+`. A level-4+ version-bearing heading in the preamble
(`#### v2.0 notes`) therefore won the scan on the bracket branch where
the raw pattern — and the legacy path, unaffected — ignores it
outright. Fixed with `if (h.level > 3) continue;`, mirroring the
depth-sanity cap isBracketMilestoneBoundary already applies to the
bracket half of this same scan.

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 round-3 hardening: subtree child
scan + level cap on preambleCutoff" —
- RED-turned-GREEN for the Notes-intervening fixture: exact 2/1/50 (was
  3/2/67), plus the disk-filter observable (`GSD.01-01-old` now
  correctly excluded).
- PIN for the level-4 preamble heading: the scope now PRESERVES the
  heading's text (was silently dropped before this fix — harmless in
  this minimal fixture's total_phases specifically, since the dropped
  text carries no phase-shaped content, but a real correctness gap
  against the raw pattern's own ceiling) — asserted via scope content,
  not total_phases, since that number is invariant here either way.
- PIN for the LEGACY control on the same level-4 shape — unchanged,
  confirming the raw content.match path is untouched.

Re-verified the existing genuine-prior-sibling and childless-sibling
pins (round-3 Blocker 1 commit) still pass under the subtree scan —
both fixtures' outcomes are unchanged since their same-id hit (or its
absence) was already at the first deeper heading.

Targeted suite green: `node --test tests/adr-612-*.test.cjs
tests/roadmap-parser.test.cjs tests/state.test.cjs tests/verify.test.cjs`
-> 942/942 pass (939 + 3 new). node scripts/lint-phase-id-drift.cjs

* fix(#2761): bracketHeadingHasMatchingChild requires a same-id PHASE child (round-4 Blocker 1)

Gate-2 round-4 re-verify Blocker 1 (NEW): the round-3 hardening's
subtree scan (fbfd0fca) proved SAME-ID-NESS but never asked whether
the matching child was PHASE-shaped. Case F1 re-opens round-3's case D
one heading later: `## [ADR.612] Heading convention` is followed by
its OWN sub-heading `### [ADR.612] Examples` — same bracket id as the
candidate, but MILESTONE-shaped (a name, no digit-then-colon), not a
phase. Same-id-ness alone satisfied the subtree scan and re-cut the
preamble at exactly the shape the round-3 hardening was written to
close.

Failing input: `## [ADR.612] Heading convention` / `### [ADR.612]
Examples` (prose) / `### [GSD.02] 01: One` (the current milestone's
own first phase, now unreachable) / `## [GSD.02] v2.0: Foundation` /
`### [GSD.02] 02: Two`. Truth 2/1/50. HEAD read 1/0/0, and `state sync`
reported "nothing to do" (exit 0, `{synced:true,changes:[]}`) because
its wrong 0% happened to equal the STATE.md seed — a half-done
milestone read as untouched with no write-path signal at all.

Fixed with the reviewer's one-conjunct addition: a same-id child only
counts if it is ALSO phase-tail-shaped (`BRACKET_PHASE_TAIL_RE`) — the
same single-owner discriminator `isBracketMilestoneBoundary` already
uses one level up for the identical distinction (phase vs milestone),
reused here rather than re-derived. This is exactly what the
changeset's own wording already claimed ("no phase children of its
own") — the code now matches the sentence rather than the other way
around.

Docstring updated at the function itself: the rule is "same-id PHASE
child", not "same-id child".

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 round-4 Blocker 1: the same-id
child must be PHASE-shaped" — RED-turned-GREEN for F1 with
syncedTotal()/syncedPercent() (the persisted 0% — and the
report-nothing-to-do write-path silence — is the point), PINs for F11
(colon-less same-id child) and F11b (bullet-only phase list): both
correctly stay excluded either way, and the leak the phase-shape
requirement newly creates for these two shapes is INERT — a colon-less
heading forms no qualified key (getMilestonePhaseFilter's own
phase-heading pattern requires the colon too) and a bracket bullet
never matches the legacy-only BULLET_PHASE_LINE_PATTERN — confirmed
directly via getMilestonePhaseFilter, not merely inferred. Re-verified
the four existing child-rule pins (F2 subtree-closure, F3 deep-nested
same-id, F4 level-4 same-id, F5 childless-at-EOF) are unaffected by the
phase-shape requirement, since every one of them already used a
colon-bearing same-id child.

Targeted suite green: `node --test tests/adr-612-*.test.cjs

* fix(#2761): fence-aware phase counting, milestone bounding, and bracket-fallback selection (round-4 Major 1)

Gate-2 round-4 re-verify Major 1 (NEW): roadmapPhaseCount is a
fence-blind raw `.exec()` over the scope string, duplicated in TWO
independent copies (buildStateFrontmatter's read path, cmdStateSync's
write path). With the bracket alternative now compiled into it (#612),
a fenced EXAMPLE phase heading in the preamble inflates total_phases
and persists a wrong percent that base got right. Two further
fence-blind sites participate: isMilestoneBounded (a raw
`.test(roadmapRaw)`) and the bracket-fallback SELECTOR inside
extractCurrentMilestone (a raw `content.matchAll`, only reachable when
version-string selection finds nothing).

Failing inputs:
- F10 (clean isolate, version-bearing selection): a fenced
  `### [GSD.02] 05: Example phase` in the preamble inflates
  total_phases 2->3, persisting 33% where truth is 50%. LEGACY control
  on the same shape is correct on every build — not a pre-existing
  hazard being inherited, bracket-only.
- F9 (version-less selection): a fenced example carrying the project's
  OWN milestone id additionally confuses the bracket-fallback selector
  (the fenced heading gets SELECTED), compounding with the same
  fence-blind counter. base suppressed the percent; round-1 and HEAD
  both wrote 33%.
- F12 (isMilestoneBounded isolate): the ONLY `[GSD.02]` heading in the
  document is inside a fence, and the asserted milestone genuinely has
  no section at all — HEAD persisted 67% where base correctly
  suppressed the percent (the milestone is absent from the roadmap).

Fixed at the CONSUMER level, not the producer — extractCurrentMilestone's
returned scope string is deliberately UNCHANGED, since every other
consumer of that string needs its full content fidelity and legacy
identity forbids touching the shared string (this branch's own
precedent, ff6bf0a8/c483552a, was producer-level; here the ruling is
consumer-level because the string is shared far more broadly than the
two round-3 fixes' narrower producer edits):

(a) New `countRoadmapPhaseHeadings` (src/state.cts, immediately above
    extractRetiredPhaseNumbers) — ONE shared implementation for both
    call sites, replacing two independently-maintained copies. BRACKET
    convention counts via `tokenizeHeadings(scope)` at levels 2-4,
    testing each heading's hash-stripped text directly — fence-aware by
    construction, since tokenizeHeadings never produces a token for a
    fenced line. LEGACY convention keeps the exact pre-existing raw
    `.exec()` loop, byte-for-byte. A pre-existing, deliberately
    PRESERVED asymmetry between the two original call sites — the read
    path always excluded a bare `/^999\b/` token, the write path never
    did — is threaded through as an explicit
    `includeUnconditional999Check` parameter per call site, so sharing
    the implementation does not silently unify (and thereby move)
    either total.
(b) isMilestoneBounded's bracket branch now scans
    `tokenizeHeadings(roadmapRaw)` for a matching heading (level <= 3)
    instead of a raw regex test. Legacy version-string branch untouched.
(c) The bracket-fallback SELECTOR now builds its candidate set from
    `tokenizeHeadings(content)` instead of `content.matchAll`,
    reconstructing a match-shaped array so every downstream consumer of
    `headingMatches` sees the identical shape the raw-regex path always
    produced. This is the ONE site in this entire arc where SELECTION
    itself changes — selection SEMANTICS are otherwise unchanged (same
    pattern, same first-match-wins by document order); only the
    candidate set is now fence-aware. Pinned that unfenced selection is
    byte-identical.

Zero drift measured across the full historical corpus (repro2-13,
rv-attack1/1b/3c, rv-mech1, rv2-amend1/2, and F1-F11b) except the three
target fixtures.

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 round-4 Major 1: four fence-blind
sites on the bracket path" — RED-turned-GREEN for F10 (with
syncedTotal()/syncedPercent()) and F9 (both layers), PINs for F10's
LEGACY control and F10c (non-phase-shaped fence, unaffected either
way), RED-turned-GREEN for F12 (asserts the percent KEY is absent from
`state json`'s output and that `state sync`'s body stays at its
unmodified seed — the persisted-suppression signal, not merely a
total_phases number), and an explicit PIN that unfenced bracket-fallback
selection (first real milestone-shaped heading wins, no fences
involved) is unaffected.

* chore(#2761): correct docstring overstatement + stale consumer-count sentence (round-4 minors)

Gate-2 round-4 re-verify Minor 1 + Nit 1. No production code changed.

Minor 1: bracketHeadingHasMatchingChild's own docstring said a
rejected (no-same-id-PHASE-child) candidate's degrade "contributes
nothing to any phase count" — true of the candidate's OWN heading
text, but not of its SUBTREE, which is what actually stays in the
preamble. F7 (`## [GSD.01] Setup` / `### [GSD.07] 01: Foreign`) shows
a DIFFERENT-id bracket PHASE heading inside a rejected candidate's
subtree DOES form a qualified key and CAN admit a foreign directory —
3/2/67%, stable across base, round-1 and HEAD (base via its own
pass-all degrade). Not a regression, still the declared over-inclusive
/ never-under-inclusive safe direction — the comment now says that,
with F7's numbers cited, at the call site that actually decides
`isBoundary` (roadmap-parser.cts's preambleCutoff loop) rather than
only at the helper's own definition.

Minor 2 (changeset) — VERIFIED, no wording change needed: re-ran F1,
F9, F10, F12 at this HEAD. The "no phase children of its own... does
not truncate it either" sentence (naming the `[ADR.612]` shape
directly) is now literally true — F1 reads 2/1/50. The "counted from
ALL of the phases... not a subset" sentence is now true on every
measured shape — F1/F9/F10 all read 2/1/50, F12 correctly suppresses
the percent. No carve-out for F9/F10 is needed since round-4 Major 1
(3be5c412) closes both; per the fix-round instruction to "only carve
out anything genuinely left," nothing is.

Nit 1: tests/adr-612-bracket-heading-selection.test.cjs's runtimeGated
row claimed `BRACKET_HEADING_INTRO_RE` has "no other consumers" — true
when round-3's f87bba0e wrote it, stale since 2e06aef5 (round-3's own
earlier commit) had already added two more uses inside
bracketHeadingHasMatchingChild. Corrected to state the true count
(three consumers) and re-confirm the conclusion is unaffected: all
three are still nested inside the same bracketBoundaryActive runtime
gate, and BRACKET_HEADING_INTRO_RE is built from BRACKET_ID_SRC, not
phaseHeadingPrefixSrcFor, so it was never a selector site regardless of
consumer count.

Targeted suite green: `node --test tests/adr-612-*.test.cjs
tests/roadmap-parser.test.cjs tests/state.test.cjs tests/verify.test.cjs`
-> 952/952 pass (comment-only changes, no count movement). eslint

* fix(#2761): restore the bracketId guard in countRoadmapPhaseHeadings (round-5 Blocker 1)

Gate-2 round-5 re-verify Blocker 1 (NEW, introduced by 3be5c412): the
merge that created the shared countRoadmapPhaseHeadings helper dropped
the `bracketId && ` guard both original inline loops carried before
calling isSentinelPhaseId. Every other isSentinelPhaseId call site in
src/ (roadmap-parser.cts, roadmap.cts, validate.cts x2, verify.cts)
keeps the guard; state.cts's shared counter was the only one of seven
without it.

When the phase-heading-intro grammar's LEGACY alternative matches (a
`### Phase 00:` heading in a `phase_id_convention: "bracket"` repo —
the mid-migration shape this PR exists for), the bracket capture group
is `undefined`, so the unguarded call became
`isSentinelPhaseId("undefined-00", 'bracket')` — measured TRUE, so
phase 00 (and 000, 0a, 0.5, 999.1 — any token whose splice with the
literal string "undefined" happens to fall in a sentinel range) was
silently dropped from the denominator. `getMilestonePhaseFilter` (which
still carries its own guard) counts the phase and admits its directory
regardless, so the filter and the counter disagree — a half-done
milestone reads as 100% complete, persisted.

One-line fix, restoring the guard every sibling call site already has:

    if (bracketId && isSentinelPhaseId(`${bracketId}-${token}`, 'bracket')) continue;

Line count: `git diff --stat src/state.cts` -> 1 file changed, 1
insertion(+), 1 deletion(-).

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 round-5 Blocker 1:
countRoadmapPhaseHeadings restores the bracketId guard" — RED-turned-
GREEN for G3 (3/2/67, was 2/2/100) and G3d (the mixed bracket+legacy
mid-migration shape, same numbers) with syncedTotal()/syncedPercent(),
PIN for G3's legacy control (unaffected), PIN for G3b (isolates the
counter with no directory to admit), PIN for G3c (legacy 01/02 only,
no sentinel-shaped token present).

* fix(#2761): extractRetiredPhaseNumbers is fence-aware on the bracket path (round-5 Major 1)

Gate-2 round-5 re-verify Major 1 (NEW) — a FIFTH fence-blind site on
the bracket path, missed by 3be5c412's own enumeration of "four".
extractRetiredPhaseNumbers' line scan (`scope.split(/\r?\n/)`) has no
fence awareness. This PR compiles the bracket alternative into
`introSrc` ("the retirement filter has to widen with the counter it
protects" — the function's own pre-existing comment), so a FENCED
authoring EXAMPLE showing the #1514 retirement gesture in bracket
spelling is now indistinguishable from a real one: it retires a
genuine phase, shrinking the denominator and persisting a confident
100% where base correctly read 50%.

Fixed with the SAME consumer-level ruling this arc has used at every
other fence-blind site, reusing markdown-sectionizer's existing
exported `stripFencedCode` rather than hand-rolling a second fence
parser (single-owner rule) — retirement lines are BULLETS, not
headings, so `tokenizeHeadings` doesn't serve here; `stripFencedCode`
is the general-purpose fence stripper the tokenizer itself is built on.
Gated on `convention === 'bracket'`; the LEGACY line scan stays the raw
`scope` string, byte-identical — its own fenced-example hazard is
pre-existing (wrong at base too) and out of scope.

Line count: `git diff --stat src/state.cts` -> 1 file changed, 9
insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) — one import added, four lines inside
the function (a comment + the `scanScope` computation + the changed
`.split()` call).

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 round-5 Major 1:
extractRetiredPhaseNumbers is fence-aware on the bracket path" —
RED-turned-GREEN for G2 (fenced example in the preamble) and G2b (the
same example placed INSIDE the milestone section, ruling out a
preamble-scoping artifact — the site itself was fence-blind wherever
the fence sits), PIN for the LEGACY control (unchanged, pre-existing,
out of scope — base is wrong on this shape too).

Also folds in the "four fence-blind sites" correction: 3be5c412's
commit message and any restatement of it should read FIVE going
forward; this commit's own message states the count correctly.

Targeted suite green: `node --test tests/adr-612-*.test.cjs

* fix(#2761): state sync's counter excludes the bracket 999 icebox token (round-5 Major 2)

Gate-2 round-5 re-verify Major 2 (NEW) — `includeUnconditional999Check`
left `state json` and `state sync` reporting different totals for one
bracket repo. Under bracket, READING-B puts the sentinel in the
bracket, so `isSentinelPhaseId("GSD.02-999", 'bracket')` is false —
the `/^999\b/` TOKEN rule is the only thing excluding a
`### [GSD.02] 999:` icebox heading, and it ran on the read path
(buildStateFrontmatter, `true`) and on getMilestonePhaseFilter
(unconditional), but not on cmdStateSync's own counter (`false`). One
`state sync` call could leave a single STATE.md with its own
frontmatter (percent 50, from the read-path re-sync inside
writeStateMd) and body (percent 33, from the write-path counter that
alone still counted the icebox heading) disagreeing — falsifying this
PR's own stated invariant that sharing countRoadmapPhaseHeadings made
"the two counters must see the same phases" structural.

Functional change is one argument, exactly as specified: the write
call site now passes `syncConvention === 'bracket'` instead of the
literal `false`. `syncConvention === 'bracket'` is `false` for every
non-bracket value, so the LEGACY path resolves to the exact same
`false` it always did — this file's own pre-existing, deliberately-
unchanged read/write divergence on that path is untouched. The READ
site (`:1860`) is NOT touched — its historical behaviour applied
`/^999\b/` to legacy and bracket alike, so changing it would move
legacy READ totals, exactly the class of mistake this arc's own
Blocker 1 (this round) was.

Line count: the functional change is ONE argument
(`false` -> `syncConvention === 'bracket'`); the surrounding comment
was rewritten because the previous one asserted the now-superseded
behaviour ("preserving this file's pre-existing... divergence... a
bare 999 token is not excluded here") and leaving it would mislead the
next reader — not a structural change.

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 round-5 Major 2: state sync
excludes the bracket 999 icebox token like the read path" —
RED-turned-GREEN for G1, asserting `state sync`'s body percent equals
`state json`'s own percent (both 50, not 33 vs 50), PIN for G1's
legacy control (33 vs 50 unchanged, deliberately).

* chore(#2761): restore indent parity at the two line-start-anchored bracket-heading reconstructions (round-5 Minor 1)

`HeadingToken.offset` (tokenizeHeadings) is the LINE-START character offset,
not necessarily the `#` character's own offset — a ≤3-space-indented ATX
heading has both. Two round-4 reconstructions built on tokenizeHeadings
inherited this gap and accepted indented headings their raw, line-start-
anchored predecessors (`^#{1,3}\s+\[...`) never matched:

  1. roadmap-parser.cts's bracket-fallback SELECTOR (extractCurrentMilestone,
     ~line 377) — an indented, version-less `[GSD.02]` milestone heading
     could be reconstructed into headingMatches, then mis-parsed downstream
     (selectedBracketId null, level fallback to 1), leaking a SIBLING
     milestone's phases into the counted scope (G6: HEAD read 3/2/67 instead
     of 2/1/50 — a real phase heading's own directory belonging to the NEXT
     milestone got counted).

  2. state.cts's isMilestoneBounded (~line 1571) — the same gap let an
     indented-only `[GSD.02]`-shaped heading wrongly bound a milestone
     absent from the roadmap, un-suppressing a percent that should stay
     suppressed (mirrors round-4's F12 fenced-only case, but via indentation
     instead of a fence).

Fix: one added conjunct per site — `content[h.offset] === '#'` (source-named
`roadmapRaw` in state.cts) — filtering to tokens whose LINE-START offset IS
the `#` character, i.e. exactly the set the raw line-start-anchored regex
would ever have matched. Restores byte-for-byte raw parity; no other logic
in either function changes. computeSectionEnd and the preamble version/
emoji-token scan are untouched, as instructed — they consumed tokenizeHeadings
output before this arc and are out of scope here.

Also corrects roadmap-parser.cts's now-provably-false docstring claim that
`h.offset` is unconditionally "the same `#`-character coordinate space
`content.match().index` used" — true only for the survivors of the new
filter, not for every token tokenizeHeadings produces.

Line count: the FUNCTIONAL change is exactly 2 lines (one added `&&` conjunct
per call site — `git diff --stat` on the two source files shows 20
insertions/7 deletions, but only those 2 lines change behavior; the rest is
docstring/comment rationale, per this round's "state the line count" ask).

TDD: both fixtures verified RED at HEAD before this commit, GREEN after,
via /tmp/pr612rev/rv5-attack.cjs G6 and a locally-authored isMilestoneBounded-
isolating probe (G6 alone doesn't distinguish the two sites — its unindented
phase headings already satisfy isMilestoneBounded's loose prefix regex
either way, so a second, indentation-only fixture was needed to prove that
site's fix is not a no-op; verified by temporarily reverting just that one
conjunct, confirming 100%-wrongly-bounded RED, then restoring it, confirming
suppressed-percent GREEN).

New tests (adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs):
  - RED (G6): indented version-less bracket milestone heading — 2/1/50, not
    the pinned-before-fix 3/2/67.
  - PIN (G6c unindented control): identical document, no indent — 2/1/50
    unaffected on every build.
  - RED (isMilestoneBounded site, indented-ONLY): mirrors round-4's F12
    shape (fenced-ONLY → indented-ONLY) — percent stays suppressed instead
    of the pinned-before-fix wrongly-bounded 100%.

Full G1-G10 (rv5-attack.cjs) + G2b/G3c/G3d/G6c (rv5b.cjs) re-verified
zero-drift against TRUTH after this change. Targeted suite (adr-612-*,
roadmap-parser, state, verify): 962 -> 965 (+3), 0 fail.

* chore(#2761): changeset discloses counting-set narrowing + correct stale consumer-count sentence (round-5 minors)

FIX 5 (Minor 2): .changeset/2761-bracket-read-tolerance.md did not disclose
that bracket phase-heading counting is narrower than the raw-regex
predecessor in two ways the review's G4/G5 fixtures surfaced: a level-5
heading (`##### [GSD.02] 05: ...`) is no longer counted (the counter's
tokenizeHeadings scan caps at level 4, matching the selector/isMilestoneBounded
ceiling), and a space-less heading (`###[GSD.02] 05: ...`) is no longer
counted (CommonMark requires ≥1 space/tab after the hashes, which
tokenizeHeadings correctly enforces and the old raw regex did not). Both
G4 and G5 moved from round-1's wrong (inflated) values back to base's
original values as an incidental side effect of routing through
tokenizeHeadings — never a deliberate feature of this PR, and previously
undocumented. One clause added to the existing run-on paragraph; no other
wording in the changeset touched.

FIX 6 (Nit 1): tests/adr-612-bracket-heading-selection.test.cjs:76 —
`BRACKET_PHASE_TAIL_RE` has TWO consumers as of round-4's 65d257ce
(isBracketMilestoneBoundary's own use, plus bracketHeadingHasMatchingChild's
same-id-PHASE-child conjunct), not the "no other consumers" the comment
claimed. Same correction pattern round-4 already applied to this row's
BRACKET_HEADING_INTRO_RE neighbor (that sentence's own staleness was fixed
in 4d7184b8): note the true consumer count, confirm both stay nested inside
the same bracketBoundaryActive runtime gate (verified at
src/roadmap-parser.cts:178 and :250, both reached only through the
`if (bracketBoundaryActive)` block starting at :529), and record which
commit and which fix introduced the drift. Comment-only; no assertion
logic changed.

Line count: 2 files, 8 insertions / 2 deletions total — one added clause
in the changeset (1 line changed) and one comment block replacing the
single stale line in the test file (6 comment lines replacing 1).

Verified: targeted suite (adr-612-*, roadmap-parser, state, verify)
unchanged at 965/965 pass (comment/prose-only diffs, no test count change).
`node scripts/changeset/lint.cjs` and `npx eslint` on the touched files both

* fix(#2761): restore the bracketId guard on the bracket-only /^0\b/ sibling rule (round-6 Blocker 1)

Round-5's Blocker 1 was `isSentinelPhaseId("undefined-00")` — the merge
that introduced the shared counter dropped the `bracketId &&` guard on the
sentinel check. This is the identical failure one line further down, in the
sibling rule this PR itself added: when the phase-heading grammar's LEGACY
alternative matches (`### Phase 0:` in a `phase_id_convention: "bracket"`
repo — the mid-migration shape this PR exists for), `bracketId` is
`undefined`, and the unguarded `/^0\b/` fires on the bare token anyway.
Neither the LEGACY branch of this same function nor
`getMilestonePhaseFilter` has a `/^0\b/` rule at all, so the filter counts
the phase and admits its completed directory while the counter refuses to
count its heading — a milestone with an unstarted phase 02 persists as a
confident 100%.

`/^0\b/` matches `0` and `0.5` (word boundary before the `.`) but not `00`
(no boundary between the two zeros), which is exactly why round-5's G3/G3d
fixtures (`### Phase 00:`) never tripped this one — same defect class,
different token spelling.

Fix: one word, mirroring the guard round 5 restored two lines above —
`if (/^0\b/.test(token)) continue;` -> `if (bracketId && /^0\b/.test(token)) continue;`.

Expected and intentional side effect: `roadmap analyze` and `state json`
now disagree again on this bracket-repo shape (analyze phase_count=2, json
total_phases=3) — exactly as they already do under the legacy convention
today (verified via /tmp/pr612rev/rv6c.cjs on both conventions). That is
the counter regaining agreement with `getMilestonePhaseFilter` (the tighter
constraint — it is what actually decides `completed_phases`), not a new
break; the counter/filter disagreement is what was wrong.

Out of scope, deliberately NOT fixed here (Minor 1, disclosed via a PIN
test only): the bracket-SPELLED `### [GSD.02] 0:` shape has the same
counter/filter disagreement, but reads 2/2/100 on base too — never closed
by any build in this arc, so it is a pre-existing gap rather than a
regression this commit could introduce.

Line count: src/state.cts is exactly 1 insertion / 1 deletion (one word,
`bracketId && ` prepended to the existing condition).

TDD: T0 (`Phase 0:`) and T05 (`Phase 0.5:`) verified RED at HEAD before this
commit (json 2/2/100, sync body 100%) via /tmp/pr612rev/rv6b.cjs, GREEN
after (3/2/67 on both derivations, matching TRUTH). Zero-drift verified by
diffing the FULL corpus (rv5-attack, rv5b, rv4-attack, rv-attack1,
rv-attack1b, rv-attack3c, rv-mech1, rv2-amend1, rv2-amend2, rv6-attack
H1-H19, rv6b) between a pre-fix and post-fix build: the only differing
lines in the entire diff are T0, T05, and H14 — the three target fixtures.

New tests (adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs):
  - RED (T0) + PIN (T0L legacy control)
  - RED (T05) + PIN (T05L legacy control)
  - PIN (B0, bracket-spelled `0` — base-parity characterization, Minor 1,
    not fixed this round)
  Round-5's own G3 test (`### Phase 00:`) already serves as the T00 pin —
  `/^0\b/` never matched `00`, so it is unaffected and untouched.

Targeted suite (adr-612-*, roadmap-parser, state, verify): 965 -> 970 (+5),
0 fail. `lint-phase-id-drift.cjs` and `npx eslint` on touched files clean.

* chore(#2761): changeset re-attributes the phase-count level cap + discloses the bare-0 carve-out; correct two stale test comments (round-6 Minor 1 + Nits)

FIX 2 (Minor 1 — disclosure only, NOT a code fix): the bracket-SPELLED
`### [GSD.02] 0:` / `0.5:` shape has the same counter/filter disagreement
round-6's Blocker fixed for the legacy spelling, but it reads 2/2/100 on
BASE too — never closed by any build in this arc, so it is a pre-existing
gap rather than a regression this round could introduce. Two changes:

  - Pinned as a base-parity characterization: new PIN test (B0) in
    04b5a95f's describe block asserting the exact unchanged value with a
    comment stating why it's deliberately not touched.
  - .changeset/2761-bracket-read-tolerance.md: one qualifying clause added
    to the "counted from ALL of the phases … not a subset" sentence — a
    bare `0`/`0.x` phase token (however spelled) keeps `roadmap analyze`'s
    own pre-existing sentinel reading under bracket too, so it stays
    excluded from these counts. Carried over, not newly introduced by this
    PR — `roadmap analyze` has always read it this way.

FIX 3(a) — same changeset paragraph misattributed the phase counter's
2-4 level cap to "the milestone-boundary machinery in this PR" (the
selector, `isMilestoneBounded`, the preamble scan) — that machinery caps
at `###` (level ≤3), not 2-4. The 2-4 cap belongs to
`getMilestonePhaseFilter`'s own phase scan. Re-pointed the attribution;
the paragraph's earlier, correct ≤3 claim (selector/isMilestoneBounded)
is untouched.

FIX 3(b) — tests/adr-612-bracket-heading-selection.test.cjs:76-82 (added by
1395bd89, round-5's own Nit-1 correction) claimed both
`BRACKET_PHASE_TAIL_RE` consumers are reached "only through the
`if (bracketBoundaryActive)` block starting at :529". Verified at HEAD:
`bracketHeadingHasMatchingChild` is (only caller :593, inside that block).
`isBracketMilestoneBoundary` is not — it has two callers, an inline
`bracketBoundaryActive &&` conjunct at `:473` (inside `computeSectionEnd`)
and the `:529` block at `:567` — the very fact this row's own earlier
"exactly two callers" paragraph already stated correctly. Corrected the
mechanism claim; the CONCLUSION (every consumer is still gated on the same
flag) is unchanged, exactly as round-5's own Nit-1 fix left round-4's
conclusion unchanged when it corrected the consumer count.

FIX 3(c) — tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs:2311,2340 still
said "four fence-blind sites" after round-5 (357ba671) added a fifth
(the retirement scan) in its own block below. Reworded both the section
comment and the `describe()` label to read as historical scoping of
round-4's own fix ("the four sites known at round 4 … a fifth was found at
round 5, see its own block below") rather than a live exhaustive claim.

Line count: 3 files, changeset 1/1, heading-selection test 17/8,
phase-counting test 6/2 (comment/prose-only; B0's own PIN test landed in
04b5a95f alongside T0/T05 since it was investigated as part of that same
Blocker's defect class, not in this commit — noted here for the record).

Verified: targeted suite (adr-612-*, roadmap-parser, state, verify)
unchanged at 970/970 (comment/prose-only diffs, no test count change).
`npx eslint` and `node scripts/changeset/lint.cjs` both clean.

* fix(#2761): W021's bracket remediation hint stops pointing at a command that hard-errors (round-7 Minor 2)

`checkBracketCoherence`'s W021 (added by 94abf5df) attached the fix hint
`Run \`gsd-tools roadmap upgrade --convention bracket\` to migrate
(dry-run by default)` to every bracket-convention W021 — both sub-checks
(`missing-bracket` and `mismatch`) share the single `addIssue` call at
src/verify.cts:2255-2256. But `roadmap-command-router.cts:204` throws
unconditionally for any `--convention` value other than
`milestone-prefixed`:

  $ gsd-tools roadmap upgrade --convention bracket
  Error: Only --convention milestone-prefixed is supported

This contradicts the PR's own two disclosures: the changeset ("`bracket`
is a READ-path opt-in until the migrator and write path land") and
docs/CONFIGURATION.md:188 ("There is no bracket migrator and no bracket
emit yet"). Reachability is the exact mid-migration repo this PR targets —
any bracket project with one un-migrated heading gets an unfollowable
instruction on every `validate health`.

Fix: one string. Replaced the hint with what a user can actually do today —
manually align the heading's bracket milestone to its section — and named
the tracked future landing (#612 PR-3) instead of a command that errors.
The milestone-prefixed sibling hint at src/verify.cts:2240 (a different,
already-functional convention/command pair — verified against
roadmap-command-router.cts:65) is untouched.

Line count: src/verify.cts is exactly 1 insertion / 1 deletion (one string
literal).

No test in the suite previously asserted this string's content
(`grep -rn "upgrade --convention bracket" tests/` was empty), so the
unfollowable hint shipped unpinned — `lint-fix-has-regression-test.cjs`
would not have caught a string-only change without a new test. Added one:
asserts the fix string both (a) does not match `--convention bracket`
(the specific pinned-before-this-fix hazard) and (b) equals the new string
exactly, covering the invariant a future edit must not re-break: no
unsupported `--convention` value named in remediation text users are
expected to run verbatim.

Verified end-to-end (not just unit-level) via /tmp/pr612rev/rv7f.cjs: the
W021 issue's `fix` field now reads the new string; `gsd-tools roadmap
upgrade --convention bracket` (and its --dry-run variant) still correctly
hard-error — that command remains unsupported, only the hint text changed.

Targeted suite (adr-612-*, roadmap-parser, state, verify): 970 -> 971 (+1),
0 fail. `lint-phase-id-drift.cjs` clean; `npx eslint` on touched files:
0 errors (1 pre-existing unrelated no-elapsed-assertion warning, same file,
same line this arc's prior rounds already disclosed).

* chore(#2761): correct the bare-0 changeset disclosure + disclose W021's second sub-check (round-7 Minor 1 + Nit 1)

FIX 1 (Minor 1) — round-6's bare-0 changeset clause (1395bd89) was wrong in
three falsifiable ways:

  (a) Its own illustration (`### Phase 0:`) is exactly the LEGACY spelling
      04b5a95f made COUNTED. The residual exclusion after that fix applies
      only to the BRACKET-spelled token (`### [GSD.02] 0:`) — the clause
      named the wrong shape as its example.
  (b) "excluded from these counts" over-scoped the carve-out. The phase-0
      directory is admitted into `completed_phases`/`total_plans` in BOTH
      spellings (measured: B0 at HEAD has `completed_phases=2`,
      `accepts {"GSD.02-0-bootstrap":true}`). The exclusion that survives
      lives in `total_phases`/`phase_count` (heading counting) only.
  (c) The pre-existing "so `roadmap analyze` and `state json` report the
      same number" sentence (present since before this arc's bracket work)
      is now false for the bare-0 LEGACY-spelled shape: 04b5a95f's own
      commit message discloses this exact re-divergence as expected —
      `roadmap analyze` phase_count=2 vs `state json` total_phases=3 on T0
      — matching the disagreement legacy already carries today. The
      changeset still asserted unconditional agreement.

Rewrote both sentences: dropped the `### Phase 0:` example, scoped the
carve-out to `total_phases`/`phase_count`, named the bracket-spelled token
as the one that keeps analyze's sentinel reading, stated plainly that the
legacy-spelled form in a bracket repo IS counted (the mid-migration guard),
and qualified the "report the same number" claim to the `999` token, with
the bare-0 legacy-spelled shape named as the one exception and why.

FIX 3 (Nit 1) — `checkBracketCoherence` has always had two sub-checks
(its own docstring: "Two sub-checks, both surfaced as W021") but both the
changeset and docs/CONFIGURATION.md:188 described only the `mismatch`
sub-check. The `missing-bracket` sub-check — which fires on every
legacy-spelled heading in a bracket repo, the noisier of the two on a
mid-migration project — was undisclosed in both places. One clause added
to each.

Line count: 2 files, 1 line changed each (both are single-paragraph/
single-row files; git diff --stat reports 1/1 per file though several
distinct clauses were edited within that one line each).

Verified: `node scripts/changeset/lint.cjs` clean. Targeted suite
(adr-612-*, roadmap-parser, state, verify) unchanged at 971/971
(prose-only diffs, no test count change, no code touched).

* chore(#2761): resolvePhaseIdConvention's docstring no longer claims loadConfig drops the key

Upstream #2997 (aa7697fe, landed in `next` during this PR's final
verification) added `phase_id_convention: get('phase_id_convention') ?? null`
to `_baseConfig` in config-loader.cts — `loadConfig` now surfaces
`phase_id_convention` in its resolved config. This function's docstring
gave "loadConfig merges against CONFIG_DEFAULTS and drops keys it does not
know, and `phase_id_convention` is not among them" as the reason for
reading config.json directly instead of calling `loadConfig(cwd)`. That
rationale is now stale against live `next`.

Corrected the comment to state the two reasons that actually survive #2997:

  1. The workstream->root federation this function performs is a standalone
     resolution run against a GIVEN cwd, not necessarily the same base a
     `loadConfig(cwd)` call elsewhere in the codebase would federate from.
  2. Convention-ENUM validation is still #612 PR-4 work — this function
     returns the raw string unvalidated, exactly as the now-surfaced
     resolved key would.

Noted that #2997 surfacing the key makes consuming it from resolved config
(instead of re-reading config.json here) a natural PR-4 consolidation —
not this PR's scope. The "cycles were never the obstacle" close and every
other paragraph in the docstring (federation rationale, SCOPE note) are
untouched; they still hold.

Comment-only — no code behavior changed. This worktree's own history does
not contain aa7697fe (git merge-base --is-ancestor confirms neither branch
is an ancestor of the other; not rebasing per instruction), so this is a
textual correction against a documented external fact, not a functional
sync with upstream.

git diff --stat:
 src/planning-workspace.cts | 17 ++++++++++++-----

* fix(#2761): resolve phase_id_convention against the caller's workstream

`resolvePhaseIdConvention` took no workstream, so it resolved from
`planningDir(cwd)` — which falls back to `GSD_WORKSTREAM` only when its `ws`
argument is `undefined`. Every caller that passes a workstream by ARGUMENT
(they cannot set the env var per iteration) therefore read the convention from
the ROOT config while reading that workstream's ROADMAP.

Two reproduced consequences:

- A workstream that explicitly declares its own `phase_id_convention` had it
  ignored. Flipping ONLY the root config between bracket and milestone-prefixed
  changed which milestone that workstream extracted.
- `--workstream foo` and `GSD_WORKSTREAM=foo` disagreed on the same repo: the
  arg form fell through to the root config, the env form did not.

`resolvePhaseIdConvention(cwd, ws?)` now forwards `ws` to `planningDir`, and
both roadmap-parser call sites pass theirs — `extractCurrentMilestoneScoped`
(which already reads STATE from `planningDir(cwd, ws)`) and
`getMilestonePhaseFilter`'s lazy branch. `undefined` keeps the env fallback, so
convention-less call sites are byte-identical; `null` still means "explicitly no
workstream". The `undefined` vs `null` discriminator on `phaseIdConvention` is
untouched — only the base the `undefined` branch resolves FROM moves.

workstream-inventory's two sites (`countRoadmapPhases`, `inspectWorkstream`)
passed a literal `null` where they meant `undefined`, pinning every workstream
to the legacy grammar. On a bracket workstream whose milestone declares 3
phases that returned phaseCount 0 and fell back to the on-disk directory count;
it now returns 3. A non-bracket workstream is unchanged (legacy control pinned).

The workstream -> root federation is preserved: a workstream that declares no
convention still inherits the root, as config-loader does. That inheritance is
pinned so the fix cannot be over-applied into isolation.

* fix(#2761): classify missing phase details per occurrence, not per token

Under READING-B a phase's sentinel status lives in the BRACKET, so
`[GSD.999] 01` and `[GSD.02] 01` share a token and are not the same phase.
Both sides of the missing-detail check were keyed by the bare token anyway, and
both produced false negatives in `missing_phase_details`:

- The checklist scan built a token -> bracket-id Map, FIRST-WINS. Of two entries
  sharing a token, whichever the author wrote first classified both. With
  `- [ ] **[GSD.999] 01: Icebox**` above `- [ ] **[GSD.02] 01: ...**` the real
  phase inherited the icebox's sentinel verdict and vanished from the report;
  swapping the two bullets — same document, same phases — reported it. Pinned
  with a test asserting BOTH orders.

- The detail set was `new Set(phases.map(p => p.number))`, also token-keyed, so
  `[GSD.02] 01`'s heading marked token `01` present and satisfied
  `[GSD.03] 01`, which has no heading anywhere. Order-independent, same class.

Both sides now key on an occurrence key: the owner's `bracketQualifiedKey`
(fold- and padding-insensitive, so `[gsd.2] 01` and `[GSD.02] 01` are one
phase), falling back to a fold-normalized composite for the two shapes that
grammar refuses — a token carrying its own hyphen, which splices to an id whose
trailing segment the qualified-key grammar truncates (the hazard
`getMilestonePhaseFilter` guards with its own `!token.includes('-')`), and any
id it does not accept. With no bracket id the key IS the bare token, so the
legacy path keeps its exact keys and dedupe order.

The emitted value is unchanged — `missing_phase_details` stays an array of bare
tokens, matching `phases[].number`. Only the classification moved to the
qualified key, so two brackets' `01` both missing report `01` once instead of
one silently covering for the other.

* test(#2761): replace the two wall-clock ReDoS assertions with algorithmic bounds

Both guards asserted elapsed wall-clock time — `Date.now()` against a 20s
ceiling in the coherence suite, `process.hrtime.bigint()` against 1s in the
read-tolerance suite. Those measure the host machine rather than the SUT and
flake on a loaded CI runner (RULESET.TESTS.no-timing-assertion). Per
RULESET.TESTS.delete-bad-tests they are REPLACED, not skipped, and the
behavioral property each one guarded is preserved.

The property is "the widened bracket patterns do not backtrack
catastrophically", which is a claim about growth, so it is now stated by
scaling the input instead of by timing it:

- validate health runs the pathological unclosed bracket at 4,000 and 16,000
  characters and must return the same correct result (no W021) at both.
- The four reader entry points run five ReDoS shapes at 5,000 and 20,000 and
  must name exactly the phases each shape should name at each size, with the
  variant cardinality unchanged across the two.

Catastrophic backtracking is superlinear, so a regression cannot complete the
4x leg under any ceiling, while a bounded matcher is indifferent to the
scaling. The one attack that is well-formed-but-oversized now pins its reading
precisely (`['1'.repeat(n)]`) rather than being lumped in with the malformed
ones. A positive control asserts the readers still extract a well-formed
bracket heading, so "names no phase" cannot pass by the readers being inert.

`{ timeout }` is a hang backstop, not an assertion: it turns a runaway into a
deterministic failure instead of a suite that never returns.

* fix(#2761): give the bracket grammar one owner and teach the drift guard to see it

The bracket milestone-intro grammar was re-typed verbatim in three readers —
roadmap-parser's bracket-fallback selector, state's `isMilestoneBounded` and
verify's `checkBracketCoherence` — which is exactly what #2761's own gate
forbids ("no token literal outside src/phase-id.cts"). `check:phase-id-drift`
reported clean the whole time: its detector only ever knew the phase-NUMBER
token grammar, so the bracket class `[A-Z][A-Z0-9_]*` was invisible to it.

Ownership. `src/phase-id.cts` now exports the class as
`BRACKET_PROJECT_CODE_SRC` and the intro in the two shapes its readers need:
`bracketMilestoneIntroSrcFor(milestone)` (pinned to one milestone) and
`BRACKET_MILESTONE_INTRO_CAPTURING_SRC` (milestone captured). The pinned
builder owns the pad2 spelling rule too — "canonical spelling only, not `0*N`"
was previously restated in prose beside each copy, a convention two files had
to keep agreeing on by hand. `BRACKET_ID_SRC`, `BRACKET_ID_PREFIX_RE` and
`BRACKET_QUALIFIED_KEY_RE` now compose the class rather than re-spelling it.
All three call sites consume the owner; the regex sources are byte-identical to
what they spelled, asserted against hand transcriptions of the pre-fix lines.

Guard. `scripts/lint-phase-id-drift.cjs` gains a bracket rule
(`findBracketGrammarDrift`), wired into `scanRepo` and tagged `kind`. It
deliberately does NOT copy the token rule's `line.includes(CANON_REF)` escape:
that escape is line-level, and verify's copy referenced the owner for the
MILESTONE field on the same line as the re-typed PROJECT-CODE class — so a
bracket rule with that escape would have kept passing on the very site under
review. Partial ownership is the drift; only a dedicated `// phase-id-owner:`
comment suppresses it.

Proof, end to end: planting the shipped verify.cts literal back into src/ makes
`npm run check:phase-id-drift` exit 1 naming `[bracket] src/verify.cts:1475`;
restoring it returns the gate to ok.

Tests. phase-id-drift-guard carries all three shipped literals as negative
fixtures, the same-line-owner-reference case, the case-widened evasion variant,
the sanction rules, and a temp-tree scan proving the rule is wired into
scanRepo rather than merely exported. continuation-grammar-parity drives the
pinned and capturing shapes over a 12-entry corpus and requires the same
verdict from both plus the same captured milestone — widening either alone
fails there.

* test(#2761): drop the out-of-scope source-grep exemption from the selector pin

The baseline-selector pin in tests/adr-612-bracket-heading-selection.test.cjs
read `src/*.cts` with readFileSync and regex, claiming the no-source-grep
escape with a source-text-is-the-product reason. CONTEXT.md's documented scope
(RULESET.TESTS.no-source-grep.exemption) reserves that escape for tests whose
subject is a runtime CONTRACT FILE — STATE.md, config.toml, hooks.json, agent
.md — and `src/*.cts` is none of those.

It was also broader than it looked: eslint-rules/no-source-grep.cjs matches the
marker in ANY comment in the file, so one block's claim disarmed the rule for
the whole ~700-line suite.

The pin itself is worth keeping — the BASELINE ARGUMENT at each call site is a
fact no behavioural test can recover (flipping verify's milestone-complete site
from LABEL_ONLY to ANY_BRACKET grants a tolerance it has never had, and every
behavioural test still passes), so pinning it does require reading the authored
source. That reading moved to `scripts/lint-phase-id-drift.cjs` — the seam's
own guard, where source scanning is sanctioned (`warn` scope) and already
happens for the grammar rules — as `countSelectorBaselines` /
`scanSelectorBaselines`, which return a structured census. The test asserts on
the returned data and touches no file text.

CONTEXT.md is unchanged: the exemption scope was not widened to fit the test.
No marker remains in the suite, so the rule is live across all of it again, and
eslint passes with the escape removed rather than relocated. A floor assertion
pins that the census actually found the five consumers, so the "no other file
consumes the selector unpinned" check cannot pass on an empty scan.

* docs(#2761): rewrite the changeset as a lead + deltas instead of one paragraph

The fragment was a single ~6,400-character paragraph that opened on internal
mechanics, buried the user-visible change, and named an internal test path
(tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs) that means nothing to a reader
of the CHANGELOG.

It now leads with what a user sees — bracket-style phase IDs are recognized on
the read path across roadmap, validate, verify and state — followed by compact
bullets for the behavioral deltas, the opt-in caveat, and the upstream
consequences. Both merge-added disclosures are kept: the #3185 legacy-sentinel
Phase-0 delta with the reason the bracket counter keeps the narrower rule, and
the enumerator's convention-argument default flip with the four newly-scoped
read surfaces and the note that archival and milestone-completion paths are
unchanged. Two deltas from this review round are stated as their own bullets:
per-occurrence classification in `missing_phase_details`, and workstream-scoped
convention resolution including the workstream-rollup count change.

The internal test path is gone and the body is down to ~3,850 characters. The
bullets render as sub-bullets under the CHANGELOG entry and the `(#NNNN)`
suffix still lands on a trailing paragraph rather than mid-list.
`npm run lint:changeset` passes.

* test(#2761): use helpers.cleanup in the drift-guard temp-tree test

`local/no-raw-rmsync-in-tests` rejects a bare `fs.rmSync` in tests — the shared
helper carries the Windows-EBUSY retry budget. The temp-tree scan added with
M3's guard coverage test used the raw call.

* docs(#2761): correct the occurrenceKey comment on qualified-key normalization

The comment claimed `bracketQualifiedKey` is "fold- and padding-insensitive, so
`[gsd.2] 01` and `[GSD.02] 01` are one phase". The fold half is right; the
padding half is not. `BRACKET_MILESTONE_NUMERIC_SRC` is `(?:[1-9]\d{2,}|\d{2})`,
so `bracketQualifiedKey('GSD.2-01', 'bracket')` returns null and that input
takes the composite fallback instead.

No behavior change — the two key spaces use different separators and cannot
collide — but the claim was checkable and wrong. Restated: the owner case-folds,
and padding-tolerance is not a property it has or needs, because each accepted
milestone has exactly one canonical spelling and `[GSD.2]` is malformed rather
than an alternate spelling of `[GSD.02]`.

* ci(#2761): give the coverage-gate job the heap floor the shard jobs already have

The gate's report steps parse ~2.5GB of merged raw V8 dumps in one
process at the runner's implicit ~4GB ceiling, so pass/fail comes down
to GC timing (run 31338081337 OOM'd; next passes the same volume at
28s). Deterministic locally: crashes at --max-old-space-size=4096,
completes in 11s at 8192. PR shard data is within 0.15% of green next
runs — the load is pre-existing, only the ceiling was missing. #2952
set 6144 on the shard-collection step; the gate job was missed.

* Revert "ci(#2761): give the coverage-gate job the heap floor the shard jobs already have"

This reverts commit 03c74a97c911e9ddc53675aded9c9bbb89f14cd1.

* fix(#2761): thread the resolved convention into cmdStateValidate's phase-directory lookup

#3208 replaced cmdStateValidate's `startsWith` prefix test with the canonical
`phaseKeyFromDir(...) === selectedPhaseKey` comparison. That is the right
surface, and it is why the lookup now needs the resolved `phase_id_convention`,
which the rewrite does not pass.

`phaseKeyFromDir` deliberately refuses to read a bracket directory without an
explicit signal (ADR-2121: a bracket dir is string-indistinguishable from the
legacy letter-prefixed-decimal family), so un-threaded it returns the whole dir
name as the key — `GSD.02-05-real-work` -> `GSD.02-5-REAL-WORK` — while the
STATE side is the bare `05` that `parsePhaseFromProse` yields. Both sides of one
comparison derived under different conventions is #2562's defect class, and this
file's other three `phaseKeyFromDir` call sites already thread against it.

Observable: a bracket repo whose phase directory plainly exists reported
`valid: false` and "no phase directory matches phase 05", and the drift scan
(plan-count mismatch, verification status) never ran. The pre-#3208 `startsWith`
missed the same directory but skipped silently, so this is a visible-failure
regression on bracket repos, not a new miss.

Non-bracket conventions are byte-identical by construction: `extractPhaseToken`
branches only on `=== 'bracket'`, so null / 'milestone-prefixed' / unresolvable
compile the same path as the un-threaded call. The flat-legacy twin assertion
pins that.

* docs(#2761): note the cmdStateValidate convention threading in the changeset fragment

The fragment described the bracket read path as of the pre-merge branch. 504c64ff
added a shipped behaviour change — `state validate` now resolves bracket phase
directories — that the fragment did not mention, so the rendered changelog would
have under-described what ships.

Body text only; `type` and `pr` are untouched.

* test(#2761): invert the inherited-wart characterization — #3225 fixed it upstream

Required by the merge of next @ 86101ee6; test-only, no src delta.

This branch disclosed rather than fixed a pre-existing upstream wart: on a
LEGACY repo, `### Phase 999:` warned from `validate consistency` while
`validate health` suppressed it — the two verbs contradicting each other.
The case was pinned as a characterization test ("INHERITED WART, unchanged")
precisely so it would INVERT if upstream ever closed it, rather than rot
silently.

ae7dc529 (#3225) closed it, by adding the `isSentinelPhaseId` guard to this
very loop. So the assertion inverted on the merge — as designed. Flipped to
assert the FIXED behaviour rather than deleted: it is the negative-space
proof that this branch's `sentinelPhases` guard never had to grow a legacy
reading of its own, and it reds if a future conflict resolution keeps our
guard while dropping upstream's.

Added a scope control alongside it (a legacy NON-sentinel `### Phase 09:`
with no directory still warns), so deleting the loop outright cannot pass.

Union proven load-bearing in BOTH directions against the merged tree —
neither guard subsumes the other:
  - drop `isSentinelPhaseId(p)` (ours only) -> 1 red, exactly this case.
    Note upstream's own #3225 tests stay GREEN there: they cover the
    disk-side loops (sentinel dir on disk) and the gap-numbering filter,
    not the ROADMAP-side loop. This case is that site's only coverage,
    which is the second reason to keep it rather than delete it.
  - drop `sentinelPhases.has(p)` (upstream only) -> 4 red bracket suites
    (icebox-not-missing, health/consistency agreement, occurrence-aware
    suppression, checklist-index suppression).

tests/adr-612-bracket-read-tolerance.test.cjs 79 -> 80, all green.

* test(#2761): pin the three re-homed W006/W007 reads the merge left unfalsifiable

#3309/#3310 deleted the helpers this PR threaded (collectDiskPhases,
collectDiskPhaseEntries, collectArchivedPhaseDirNames,
forEachArchivedPhaseToken) and rebuilt their reads inside
src/planning-snapshot.cts + src/health-diagnostic-rules/*.cts. The convention
threading moved with them in the merge commit — but a mutation sweep over the
re-homed sites found three where reverting the convention argument changed real
CLI output and NOT ONE existing test went red. The pre-migration sites were
covered indirectly, through helpers that no longer exist, so the coverage did
not survive the relocation even though the behaviour did.

Each case is pinned at the CLI with its flat-legacy twin as the byte-identity
control, plus a non-vacuity control in the opposite direction:

  archivedPhaseTokens      revert -> "Phase 05 in ROADMAP.md but no directory on
  (planning-snapshot.cts)            disk" for a phase whose only directory is
                                     under .planning/milestones/v1.0-phases/
  roadmapPhaseCheckboxes   revert -> "Phase 09 in ROADMAP.md but no directory on
  (planning-snapshot.cts)            disk" for an unstarted `- [ ]` phase
  W007's extractPhaseToken revert -> "Phase GSD.02-77-orphan exists on disk"
  (roadmap-disk-consistency)         instead of "Phase 77 exists on disk"

Red/green: each single-line revert reds exactly its own case and nothing else;
every legacy control stays green in all three runs.

NOT pinned, and disclosed as droppable rather than given an unfalsifiable test:
buildValidPhaseSet's extractPhaseToken(dir, convention) in W002. That rule
unions disk tokens with roadmapDeclaredPhases and archivedPhaseTokens, and any
STATE.md reference a bracket disk token would rescue is already rescued by the
ROADMAP half — probed directly, the argument makes no observable difference. It
is threaded because it restores collectDiskPhases(planBase, convention)'s
derivation exactly, not because a test needs it.

Test-only; revertable independently of the merge commit.

* test(#2761): pin the two reads the #3165 extraction left unfalsifiable

DROPPABLE, offered as such. Test-only; the merge commit is correct without it.

#3428's extraction gave `collectAnalyzePhases` TWO call sites — the scoped
milestone window and the truncated-window recovery path. The merge threads
`convention` into both and swaps `detailKeys` with `phases` across the recovery.
Neither of those was falsifiable by the suite as it stood:

  - passing a NULL convention at the FALLBACK site, with the scoped site still
    threaded, is green across all 518 tests of the bracket, roadmap and
    milestone-window files. Every pre-existing bracket assertion reaches the
    enrichment through the scoped window, so none of them can observe the
    fallback's reading at all;
  - dropping `detailKeys = fallbackScan.detailKeys;` — the line this merge
    authored — is likewise green, because no fixture that reaches the recovery
    path carries a checklist bullet, so `missing_phase_details` is `null`
    either way.

That is the same hole class lap 3 closed in 9914359c: an argument whose revert
changes real CLI output with zero reds.

Pinned at the CLI on the shape that reaches the fallback on a bracket repo — a
MID-MIGRATION ROADMAP: bracketed ACTIVE milestone, its phase-detail sections
and checklist bullets sitting after an intervening CLOSED legacy milestone (so
the window closes over prose only), plus one legacy `### Phase N:` section of
its own. Six tests:

  - a NON-VACUITY control that removes the phase directories, so #3428's own
    precondition fails and the result is the empty one the recovery exists to
    replace — this is what proves the rest read the FALLBACK's output rather
    than the scoped scan's;
  - the directory assertion (`disk_status`/`plan_count`/`summary_count` for
    canonical `{CODE}.{MM}-{PP}-slug` dirs) + a flat-legacy twin asserting
    byte-equal shape, and that the twin is the right answer rather than a
    shared wrong one;
  - `missing_phase_details: null` for phases the recovery just found, and its
    companion direction — a bullet with no heading anywhere is STILL reported,
    so a fix that merely suppressed the report does not pass;
  - a non-bracket repo taking the same path unaffected.

Red/green, each mutation reverted afterwards:
  - fallback call site -> `null` convention: exactly 2 reds, both directory
    assertions in this block; 307 other tests green, including upstream's own
    #3428 tests in tests/milestone-window-single-owner.test.cjs.
  - `detailKeys` swap deleted: exactly 2 reds, both `missing_phase_details`
    assertions; 414 other tests green.
  - `matchPhaseDirs` 3rd argument dropped (the lap-2 site): 4 reds — the 2
    already on record plus this block's 2, which is the point: one seam, now
    reached by two paths.

DISCLOSED IN THE TEST BODY WITH MEASURED OUTPUT, not fixed: `hasPhaseEntries`
(src/roadmap-parser.cts) is convention-blind, so on a PURE-bracket ROADMAP the
window classifies COMPLETE and #3428's recovery is gated off entirely. That
document returns `{"scope":"complete","phase_count":0,"next_phase":null,
"phases":[]}` — the "genuinely empty milestone" answer, the indistinguishability
#3184 introduced `scope` to remove — where the flat-legacy twin returns
`{"scope":"truncated","phase_count":2,...}`. Widening it changes the value of an
upstream-owned output field on bracket repos, so it is a behaviour slice (the
PR-2.5/PR-4 convention-less-readers question), not a merge-round change. The
mid-migration shape pinned here is the reachable half.

* fix(#2761): mirror the bracket terminator in the milestone-scope write guard

parser's terminator vocabulary — "a level 1-3 heading that is not a Phase
heading and carries a milestone signal". On this branch that vocabulary is
convention-SELECTED: `computeBracketSectionEnd` adds `isBracketMilestoneBoundary`
as a terminator arm, and the ADR-canonical `## [GSD.09] Hidden` carries NO
vN.N token, NO ✅/📋/🚧/🔄 marker, and not the word "Milestone". Left
unmirrored, the guard accepted exactly the description it exists to reject.

NOT a defect on clean next — a bracket heading terminates nothing there. The
branch widens the terminator set, so the branch owns the mirror.

MEASURED at the CLI seam before the fix (bracket fixture, one milestone,
one phase):

  $ gsd-tools phase add $'Sneaky\n## [GSD.09] Hidden'   -> exit 0, written
  $ gsd-tools phase add 'Innocent follow up'            -> exit 0, written
  $ gsd-tools roadmap milestone-scope
    { "scope": "complete", "phases": ["01","1"], "phase_count": 2 }
  $ grep '^### Phase' .planning/ROADMAP.md
    ### Phase 1: Sneaky
    ### Phase 2: Innocent follow up      <- in the document, out of the window

After the fix the first add exits 1, ROADMAP.md is byte-unchanged and no
phase directory is created. The legacy twin (same text, no
`phase_id_convention`) still exits 0 — opt-in only, base behaviour preserved.

SHAPE
- `findMilestoneScopeHeadingLines(text, convention)` — REQUIRED, the same
  tripwire `scanMilestonePhaseIds` carries in the merge commit and for the
  sharper reason: a blind call here fails OPEN (the guard quietly ACCEPTS a
  window-narrowing description), so a future call site must fail to COMPILE.
  Census is one caller, which pays nothing for it. A non-bracket value takes
  the pre-existing path byte-identically. The bracket arm routes through
  `isBracketMilestoneBoundary`, the same single-owner phase-vs-milestone
  discriminator `computeBracketSectionEnd` consults; no second bracket-heading
  grammar is spelled here.
- `selectedBracketId` is deliberately `null`, so the same-milestone
  CONTINUATION exemption never fires and a value naming the ACTIVE milestone
  is flagged too. That is this predicate's third stated conservatism and
  rests on its own existing argument: which milestone is active is a property
  of the document at write time, not of the text being validated, and
  over-rejecting is one-directional.
- `assertDescriptionPreservesMilestoneScope` takes `cwd` and resolves through
  the branch's tolerant try/catch — this guard runs BEFORE `loadConfig` and
  before the ROADMAP existence check, so an unresolvable convention must
  degrade to the legacy vocabulary, never turn a rejection into a crash.
- The error's marker list gains the bracket form only when the project is on
  the bracket convention.

RED/GREEN
- Revert the bracket arm -> 2 reds (phase add; insert + add-batch), the
  non-bracket control and both no-false-positive cases stay green.
- Revert the probe threading in the merge commit -> 1 red (the probe case).
- 6 new cases in the #3262 file, each with a non-bracket or
  no-false-positive control: fenced bracket milestone heading and bracket
  PHASE heading are both non-violations.

Droppable: revert this commit and the merge stands on its own; the branch
then ships the gap as a disclosure instead of a fix.

* docs(changeset): narrow the enumerator claim to the directory set — per-entry rendering in progress/stats/init-manager is display-slice scope

Round-7 review confirmed 3 of the 4 surfaces named by the closing claim
parse each directory or heading with legacy-only patterns that live in
files this PR does not touch (commands.cts:1766, commands.cts:2116,
init.cts:2241). The claim now states exactly what this slice delivers:
the scoped directory set. Their per-entry conversion is display work,
deferred to the epic's display PR with the statusline/progress-card
gates it belongs beside.

* fix(#2761): de-accident the unmatched-milestone bracket fixture, re-pin to #3480's withhold contract

tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs:515 ("a milestone that
does NOT match STATE is not scoped in") asserted total_phases === 0.
Since today's merge brought in 70b5c1a1 (#3354/#3480, already in
`next`), buildStateFrontmatter withholds total_phases (omits the key,
read back as null) for a milestone that is genuinely sectioned but
matches no ROADMAP heading, instead of substituting a computed number
— the fixture's `state json` read now returns null, failing the
strictEqual(0) assertion.

The original single-section fixture's 0 only ever survived by
accident: hasMilestoneSectioning requires >=2 milestone-vocabulary
headings to call a ROADMAP sectioned, and its isPhaseHeading helper
recognizes only the legacy `Phase N:` text form — so the bracket
phase heading `### [GSD.03] 09: Not this milestone` (title containing
the word "milestone") miscounted as a second milestone heading,
tipping hasMilestoneSectioning true and routing to the disk-count
branch. With that miscount removed, the same one-section fixture
reads 1 (the non-matching milestone's phase count leaking into v2.0's
total) — proving the pinned 0 was never validating the scoping this
test claims to exercise.

Replaced the fixture with two genuine milestone sections (GSD.03,
GSD.04), neither matching STATE's v2.0, with phase titles carrying no
incidental vocabulary — the real #3354 shape. Re-pinned the assertion
to null, matching upstream's own tested contract (tests/state-
document.test.cjs, "#3354 with nothing stored, the key is omitted
rather than written from the dir count").

Verified: file green 3/3 runs (104/104), full state-suite regression
771/771 green. The isPhaseHeading gap that made the old fixture
accidental is a real, pre-existing, upstream-owned limitation
(hasMilestoneSectioning only guards >=2-section conflation, not a
single non-matching section leaking through) — not introduced by

* chore(#2761): exempt two self-authored-fixture regexes from #3441's unbounded-quantifier rule

Both sites parse the STATE.md the test itself just wrote to its own
tmpdir — fixed-size fixture output, not adversarial or document-scale
input. Exempted with the justification-comment pattern the tree's own
tests use for this exact case (settings-integrations, copilot-install,
research-agent-profiles). The sites predate the rule; #3441 landed on
next this morning and this branch picked it up in the catch-up merge.

* fix(#2761): fix forward two next-movement test regressions from the round-11 rebase

origin/next's #3573 newly threads STATE's stored `milestone:` value into
`state json`'s buildStateFrontmatter call (previously always `undefined` on
that read surface). Two pre-existing PR-2 fixtures reach code paths that
call never exercised before that merge:

- RED (repro2 case C): a version-less, all-bracket-id ROADMAP now hits
  getMilestonePhaseFilter's pre-existing (unaffected by this branch) row-5
  `versionResolved && !headingFound => SCOPE.UNSCOPED` rule, which withholds
  `progress.percent` even though the scoped total_phases/completed_phases
  are still correct. That row-5 rule is load-bearing for six other
  version-less-document pins in this same file; narrowing it broke seven of
  them in testing, so production code is untouched here. Reassert the
  test's real claim (scoping, via total_phases/completed_phases) and
  disclose the now-withheld percent instead of silently dropping it.

- PIN (repro12 LEGACY control): a fenced-example-vs-real version heading
  fixture. #3573 routes this read through sliceMilestoneWindow (fence-aware)
  instead of the legacy anyMilestonePattern raw scan (fence-blind) this pin
  was disclosing as out of scope, so the fixture no longer exercises the
  blind path — total_phases moves from the whole-doc 4 to the correctly
  scoped 2. Re-pinned with an upstream-attributed comment, matching this
  file's existing house style for prior origin/next movements (see the
  sibling "PIN (G3 LEGACY control)" comment).

Both are test-only fix-forwards: no production code changed. The remaining
12 failures in this file at 27363e9d0 (dropped seam commits' VERIFICATION.md
naming + fixture updates) are pre-existing and deferred to the stacked
follow-up per the task's own scope.

* fix(#2761): thread phaseIdConvention explicitly at the two write-adjacent enumerator call sites (round-11 BLOCKER)

listMilestonePhaseDirs' phaseIdConvention param lost its `= null` default
(phase-locator.cts), so an omitted convention now means "resolve from
config" instead of "explicitly not bracket" — a deliberate flip, but
milestone.cts and state.cts were not in the PR-2 diff and both call the
enumerator without threading it:

- milestone.cts cmdMilestoneComplete (the single #3597 shared derivation
  feeding the stats loop, --dry-run preview, and the real archive/rename
  pass) now resolves phase_id_convention once and threads it explicitly,
  so a bracket project's `milestone complete` archives its real
  bracket-declared phase directories instead of silently inheriting
  whatever the enumerator's lazy default resolves to.
- state.cts cmdStateUpdateProgress's own enumerator call threads the same
  resolved convention. Empirically this does not change the #3217 withhold
  gate (scope is assigned before headingConvention resolves in
  getMilestonePhaseFilter, so it's convention-independent either way) or
  the reported percent (already correctly threaded via
  computeUpdateProgressPreview -> buildStateFrontmatter); it closes a
  second, silently-resolved answer to the same question this file's own
  ONCE-and-THREAD rule (~:2300) already states as policy.
- state.cts's other listMilestonePhaseDirs call site (the state-sync
  scope-only read, ~:4791) is left unthreaded on purpose, with an inline
  note explaining why: only `.scope` is consumed, and `.scope` is set
  before convention resolution in getMilestonePhaseFilter, so it cannot
  disagree with a threaded convention.

Both enumerated sets are pinned by new tests (round-11 BLOCKER block in
tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs), including a mutation-style
regression check on the milestone.cts fix (forcing the un-threaded default
back on makes the pinned test fail, catching a regression to the
pass-all-degrade legacy reading).

* fix(#2761): correct the changeset's false archival claim and amend ADR-612 for the round-11 M2(2) split scope

The changeset (.changeset/2761-bracket-read-tolerance.md) asserted "The
archival and milestone-completion paths are unchanged" — false: both
paths reach the widened enumerator, and this PR now threads their
convention explicitly (previous commit). Replaced the closing paragraph
with an accurate description of what changes for a bracket project at
those two call sites, and notes both enumerated sets are pinned by tests.

ADR-612 (docs/adr/612-bracket-phase-id-convention.md) amended per M2(2):
the 2026-08-03 PR-2/PR-4 boundary proposal is added in-body (PROPOSED,
not stamped — mechanics per docs/contributor-standards.md:143 reserve ADR
ratification to maintainers), rescoped to what actually ships in PR-2
(#2761) now that the round-11 M1 split moved the completion-seam
threading (isPhaseArtifact/scopeToPhase, phase-id.cts:964-1090) out into
a separate, stacked follow-up PR referenced generically via epic #612:

- state.cts read-tolerance (both total_phases derivations, the #1514
  retirement filter) moves into PR-2's row, alongside milestone.cts,
  reflecting the round-11 fix above.
- the write-observability point is restated in terms of what actually
  ships: explicit threading at two named call sites, pinned by tests,
  rather than silent inheritance.
- the completion-seam threading is named and explicitly excluded from
  PR-2's scope, with a new ratify item (5) and a Negative consequence
  bullet covering the sequencing cost.

* fix(#2761): repair round-11 response gaps — disk-side sentinel bug, test-fixture bug, scanMilestonePhaseIds caller drift

Four independently-verified gaps in the round-11 repair response:

1. isSentinelPhaseId (src/phase-id.cts) treated a bare, untagged phase
   directory under phase_id_convention: "bracket" (`0-bootstrap`, no
   `{CODE}.{MM}-` prefix) as sentinel milestone 0 by falling through to the
   legacy leading-int rule when the bracket-tag match failed. This silently
   dropped a real, on-disk, milestone-declared phase directory from
   `listMilestonePhaseDirs` (phase-locator.cts:424, the only unguarded call
   site) and undercounted completed_phases/percent. Mirrors the carve-out
   already present on both heading-side counters (state.cts's
   countRoadmapPhaseHeadings guards its bare-0 exclusion with `bracketId &&`;
   roadmap-parser.cts's scanMilestonePhaseIds composes the bare-token rule as
   999-only) — under bracket convention, milestone 0 is expressed only via an
   explicit bracket tag, so an untagged leading 0 is a real phase token.

2. tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs's writeProject fixture
   hardcoded `01-VERIFICATION.md` for every "complete" phase dir regardless
   of the dir's real phase token. Under legacy convention this file already
   correctly failed #3511's strict isPhaseArtifact match for any dir other
   than phase 01 (the fixture never modeled what it claimed to); under
   bracket convention the pre-existing ambiguity fail-safe admitted it
   regardless. The two readings' disagreement was mistaken for a missing
   completion-seam threading (isPhaseArtifact/scopeToPhase convention
   awareness, correctly split out to the stacked #3644 per round-11's M1).
   Replaced the hardcoded name with verificationNameFor(dir), deriving the
   real per-phase filename from the production normalizePhaseName the same
   way cmdScaffold does — the 7 failing "flat-legacy-twin" / CHARACTERIZATION
   assertions pass on #2867's own code with no seam threading required, and
   the genuine seam-dependent cross-phase-stray-exclusion test the fixture
   fix would otherwise have hidden lives on the stacked branch instead.

3. tests/roadmap-parser.test.cjs's two #3577 tests still called
   scanMilestonePhaseIds with the old single-Set return shape; this PR
   changed it to `{ ids, qualifiedIds }` for every other caller but missed
   these two, which don't touch #2761/bracket code at all. TypeErrors at
   runtime, not silently-wrong assertions. Updated both call sites.

4. .changeset/2761-bracket-read-tolerance.md gains a paragraph disclosing
   fix 1 above, so the changeset stays accurate to what actually ships (the
   round-11 BLOCKER was exactly this changeset going stale once).

Verified: tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs +
tests/continuation-grammar-parity.test.cjs + tests/roadmap-parser.test.cjs =
354/354. adr-612-{coherence,grammar,heading-selection,read-tolerance,
selection.property}.test.cjs + collision-characterization = 287/287
(CONFIRMED-CLEAN set, unaffected). Full unfiltered suite run separately.

PR #3643 (round-11's M1 split, opened draft per that round's explicit
requirement) was auto-closed by this repo's own draft-PR policy 11 seconds
after opening — draft PRs are unconditionally closed here. Reopened as
non-draft #3644 (same branch, same commits, DO NOT MERGE / stacked-on-#2867
marker in the body, enhancement template) since the repo's own bot confirms
non-draft contributor PRs are tolerated even off-template.

* fix(#2761): narrow the state-update-progress pin claim to what mutation testing actually proved, add the test that covers the rest

Round-11 BLOCKER response gap (verified, not a guess): the changeset and
ADR-612 amendment point 2 both claimed the round-11 tests pin
`cmdStateUpdateProgress` so "a future change to the enumerator's default
cannot silently move ... what state update-progress reports without failing
a test." Mutation testing disproves this. Reverting BOTH the state.cts
explicit `phaseIdConvention` thread AND simulating the phase-locator.cts
pre-#612 hardcoded-null default (`phaseIdConvention: null` at that one call
site) leaves the existing PIN test ("writes a real percent for a
bracket-scoped milestone") green, because that percent comes from
`computeUpdateProgressPreview` -> `buildStateFrontmatter`, a separately and
already-correctly-threaded derivation the state.cts inline comment at ~:965
already candidly documents.

What the reverted thread DOES change, empirically, is `phaseDirs`/`totalPlans`
— the enumerated `.value` this call site feeds into the #3233 zero-plans
no-op gate a few lines below. That is the one place a regression at this call
site is observable in the command's output. Added a test that pins exactly
that: a bracket milestone whose declared phases carry no plans on disk,
alongside a decoy directory that plainly does not belong to the milestone
(no bracket tag, no phase token) but does have a plan. Correctly scoped, the
decoy is excluded and the #3233 no-op fires (`updated: false`). Degraded to
the pass-all legacy reading, the decoy is swept in, `totalPlans` flips
nonzero, and the no-op never fires (`updated: true`).

Mutation-tested against both scenarios:
- Reverting ONLY the state.cts explicit thread (falls back to `undefined`,
  which `getMilestonePhaseFilter` resolves via the identical
  `resolvePhaseIdConvention(cwd, undefined)` call the explicit thread also
  makes): new test stays green — confirms the single-hunk thread really is
  pure single-derivation hygiene, exactly as the existing inline comment
  claims, for this test too.
- Forcing `phaseIdConvention: null` at that call site (the combined-revert
  scenario the round-11 mutation testing actually exercised): new test FAILS
  (`updated: true, percent: 0` instead of the expected `updated: false`).
  Restoring the real code makes it pass again.

Narrowed the changeset and ADR-612 point 2 prose to match: `cmdMilestoneComplete`'s
enumerated set is pinned against a pass-all-degrade regression (genuine,
already verified in round 11); `cmdStateUpdateProgress`'s own call site is now
pinned against the #3233 zero-plans no-op specifically, not against the
reported percent, which the prose no longer claims. Added a one-line pointer
to the new test in the state.cts inline comment. No production behavior
changes — test and documentation only.

* docs(#2761): reconcile ADR PR-2 module map

* fix(#2761): restore #3639's dir-aware W007 sentinel exclusion lost in the rebase replay

The rebase replayed this file's pre-#3639 patch over next, reverting the
isSentinelPhaseId(token) -> isSentinelPhaseDir(dirName) fix: the extracted
token is milestone-stripped, so a bracket sentinel (GSD.999-07-icebox,
GSD.00-01-backlog) was invisible to the id predicate and false-fired W007.
Restores upstream's call and comment verbatim; the branch's convention-aware
token remains for the diagnostic message only.

Caught by next's own #3639 regression tests (CI shard 2). Local: the file's
18/18, health-diagnostic-rules 165/165, full npm test exit 0.

* docs(#2761): ratify scope and correct surface claims

* test(#2761): strengthen legacy selection and drift claims

* docs(#2761): correct the enumerator claim, scope list, and ratification receipt

Three documentation corrections, none touching production code.

The changeset claimed the shared phase-directory enumerator "now defaults its
convention argument to 'not yet resolved' rather than 'resolved, and not
bracket'". That is false: `phase-locator.cts:375` still destructures
`phaseIdConvention = null`, and the lazy resolve-from-config fires only on
`undefined` (`roadmap-parser.cts:941`, `:1928` — whose own comment records that
"explicit null still means 'resolved and non-bracket'"). Measured: only 4 of 17
`listMilestonePhaseDirs` call sites thread a resolved convention (`milestone
complete` and `state`'s three). The changeset went on to name `progress`,
`stats`, `phase list` and the init manager view as now receiving a correctly
scoped set — those are precisely callers that omit it. Replaced with what the
code does, and the deferral stated plainly.

The ADR's PR-2 row omitted `scripts/lint-phase-id-drift.cjs` (+141/-14) and
`scripts/lint-phase-enumeration-drift.cjs`, both changed by this PR. An
under-claim rather than an over-claim, but the row is the epic's
scope-of-record.

Ratify item 5 asserted maintainer ratification while citing only the review that
raised the question. It now cites the review that granted it (#2867 review
`5012940978`, 2026-08-24) and quotes its terms, so the claim carries its receipt.

Found by an adversarial review pass over the round-12 diff. (#2761)

* fix(#2761): drop the no-op --json that strict argv now rejects

Surfaced by the rebase onto next, not by a change in this PR's subject.

#3884 ("failure is a value — strict argv", e20744eac) made an unrecognized
flag a hard error: `state validate --json` now exits 1 with
`unknown flag "--json"; accepted: --strict` on stderr and EMPTY stdout,
where the token was previously accepted and ignored. `state validate` never
had a `--json` flag — JSON is its only output shape — so the argument was a
silent no-op from the start.

The helper parsed that empty stdout, so all five subtests in the
"state validate resolves bracket phase DIRECTORIES" suite failed identically
with `SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input` at the JSON.parse, masking
what they actually assert.

Dropping the token restores the same envelope the helper already parsed. No
assertion changes. Verified against the fixture the suite builds: exit 0, and
the output carries the S005 plan-count warning the drift assertions require
with no S004 phase-directory warning — i.e. the bracket directory resolves,
which is the behaviour these tests exist to pin. 94/94 in the file.

* fix(#2761): exempt the phase-counting suite from the docs-guard lane

Surfaced by the rebase onto next. #3753 (107eb8c1d) added
lint-docs-guard-registration, which requires every test file that reads a
docs/ path to be either registered in the docs-guard lane or carry an
explicit marker. It flags adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs, which
reads no docs/ path at all.

The file's only docs/ occurrence is the ADR-612 Decision 1 citation in a line
comment; every read call it makes targets a tmpdir .planning fixture. It trips
Detector 3, whose DOCS_TEMPLATE_LITERAL_RE sees an odd prose backtick in the
comment block above that citation as opening a template literal and reads the
span between them — citation included — as a docs/ path expression. That
detector documents this trade in its own header: it favours recall, and says a
false positive costs one docs-guard-exempt marker with a reason. The baseline
records the same class ("comment-only mentions") for 46 of its entries.

Registration was the wrong side of the trade here: it would run this suite in
the docs-guard lane on docs/ changes whose content it never reads.

Three pieces, matching what the gate requires and what its 54 existing entries
already do:
  - the marker in the file's header window, written without backticks so it
    cannot itself disturb the parity tracking findExemption does;
  - the basename in DOCS_GUARD_EXEMPT_BASELINE, since the ratchet fails a new
    marker until the baseline is deliberately updated — the reviewable diff is
    the point;
  - the FIX 3 per-file fingerprint, derived with the lint's own
    extractDocsPathReferences rather than retyped, so the exemption fails loudly
    if the set of docs/ paths this file mentions ever changes.

Gates: lint-docs-guard-registration 0 violations, ci-docs-guard-registry 51/51.

* docs(#2761): correct the bare-0 comment and state what opting into bracket costs

Round-13 review items Minor 2 and Minor 3, both still live on the previous head.

Minor 2 — src/phase-id.cts. The comment block claimed "Bare `0` is admitted
alongside it because a 0.x sentinel is a legitimate identity that predates
padding", which contradicted both the shipped constant and its own next
paragraph. BRACKET_CANONICAL_NUMERIC_SOURCE is `(?:[1-9]\d{2,}|\d{2})`;
measured against it, `0` is rejected while `00`, `05`, `99`, `100` and `999`
are admitted. The paragraph four lines below already recorded the removal
("the earlier `(?:\d{2,}|0)` ... admitted ... a bare `0` that pad2 never
produces"), so the block asserted and denied the same fact. The stale sentence
is replaced with what ships: `00` is the backlog sentinel's canonical padded
identity, `\d{2}` already covers it, and nothing needs the unpadded spelling.
No behaviour change — the constant is untouched.

Minor 3 — docs/CONFIGURATION.md. The phase_id_convention row described the
read-path widening but never said what a repo GIVES UP by opting in. Added:
on a bracket repo a heading whose bracket is followed directly by a digit is
read as a phase heading, so `### [RFC.2119] 5:`, `### [v1.0] 2024:` and
`### [ADR.612] 3:` — legal prose headings under any other convention — are
claimed as phases and move phase_count, total_phases and W006. Those three
shapes are the ones phase-id.cts's own selector comment names as the reason
the widened read is selected at construction time from this value rather than
applied everywhere; the row now carries that trade instead of only its
upside.

Gates: tsc --noEmit exit 0, npm run lint:ci exit 0, npm run test:unit
33890/33891 with the single failure being emitted-attribution's base drift
against a next that moved after the rebase (133/133 against the rebase base;
this push re-bases onto the current tip, which resolves it).

* docs(#4142): cite #4142 in the completion-seam changeset backlink

The fragment's trailing backlink named #2761 — the delivered PR-2 sibling
whose ratified scope excluded this completion seam — rather than #4142,
the issue this PR actually closes. The PR body already carries the correct
`Closes #4142` with `Refs #2761` for lineage; only the changeset disagreed.

Backlinks are a convention rather than a machine-checked field, so
changeset-lint passed on the wrong citation.

* docs(#4142): name phase complete and workstream-inventory in the unthreaded-caller disclosure

Round-4 review Major. The changeset's "still unthreaded" list named only the
aggregate scans (uat, audit, init projections, gap-checker, phase-locator) and
omitted two call sites that also stay on the include-everything fail-safe for
bracket directories after this PR:

- cmdPhaseComplete (src/phase.cts:3394,3405) — `phase complete`'s advisory
  UAT and VERIFICATION warning pre-scan calls scopeToPhase two-arg, so a
  bracket phase can still be warned about a cross-phase stray it does not own.
- src/workstream-inventory.cts:663 — calls isPhaseComplete, which this PR
  made convention-aware, without resolving a convention to pass it.

Because roadmap.cts's write path WAS threaded here on ADR-3180 section 7.4
read/write symmetry, leaving `phase complete` off both the code and the
disclosure was the omission most likely to be read as covered by "the same
protection #3511 already gives legacy directories". That claim is now scoped
to the call sites this PR threads, in both the changeset and the shipped
docs/CONFIGURATION.md cell, which carried the identical omission.

Disclosure only — no production code changed. Threading these two remains
follow-up-slice work alongside the epic's other convention-less readers.

7e7a239a65 refactor(#4653): replace the allowAbsolute flag with a named acceptance policy
Phase 3 of epic #4636, stage 3b. Satisfies #4653's criterion that
`opts.allowAbsolute` become "a named acceptance policy on the predicate, not a
per-call-site boolean".

The flag was actively misleading at the call site. `{ allowAbsolute: true }`
reads as "containment is relaxed here". It never was: an absolute path that
resolves outside the root is rejected exactly as a traversal is. The flag only
ever controlled whether an absolute candidate was CONSIDERED. On a security
predicate that is the wrong thing for a reviewer to have to infer, and 31 call
sites were asking them to infer it.

    PathAcceptance.RelativeOnly         relative candidates only
    PathAcceptance.AbsoluteInsideRoot   absolute accepted, containment unchanged

The three exported wrappers take the policy and translate it inward.
validatePath keeps its internal `{ allowAbsolute }` opts and its body untouched —
the engine is not re-derived here either, only the exported surface is renamed.

MEASURED, NOT ESTIMATED. 31 call sites across 10 files, counted by walking the
AST with the repo's own @typescript-eslint/parser rather than grepping: a text
match would have folded in the options-type declaration, default parameter
values and comments. All 31 pass the literal `true`; none passes `false` or a
dynamic value, so the migration is uniform and `RelativeOnly` is purely the
existing default made nameable. audit.cts alone holds 18 of them.

This migration is compiler-verified in a way the containment-value migration in
the previous commit was not: the parameter type changed from an object to a
string union, so any missed site is a build error rather than a silent
behavioral difference. That is why a 31-site mechanical edit is acceptable in
the phase whose stated risk is the width of mechanical change.

4ebcec7750 refactor(#4653): narrow the containment export and migrate all 15 validatePath sites
Phase 3 of epic #4636, stages 1-2. Implements ADR-4650 decisions 1 and 2: one
containment predicate, and an exported shape that cannot hand a caller a usable
path when the answer is unsafe.

THE EXPORT IS NOW A PAIR, BOTH RETURNING A BRANDED TYPE:

  assertWithinRoot(candidate, root, label?, opts?) -> ContainedPath   (throws)
  tryWithinRoot(candidate, root, opts?)            -> ContainedPath | null

ADR-4650 names only the throwing form. That does not survive contact with the
call sites: findPhaseArtifact probes a direct path, then a .planning/ path, then
each readdir entry, and throwing on the first miss breaks it outright. Six of the
fifteen sites need a non-throwing check. Recorded here rather than papered over.

WHY BRANDED. validatePath returns { safe, resolved, error } and populates
resolved with the ESCAPING path on the traversal branch — so a caller who skips
the boolean gets an attacker-controlled value precisely in the dangerous case.
tryWithinRoot returns exactly null there; assertWithinRoot throws. A plain string
is not assignable to ContainedPath, so a migrated site that validates one path
and then passes a different one is now a type error rather than a silent bug.
That is the defect this epic exists to close, and I introduced it twice in
Phase 2.

THE ENGINE IS UNTOUCHED. validatePath's body is not re-derived — the diff shows
zero edits to the dangling-symlink existence-oracle closure, the ancestor
canonicalization (macOS /var vs /private/var), or the separator-aware boundary
test. Each was acquired as a bug fix and a re-derivation would silently lose one.
requireSafePath now delegates to assertWithinRoot, so there is one implementation
beneath both names; its return type is branded, which is why its 13 call sites
compile unchanged.

A TYPESCRIPT LIMITATION, FIXED AT THE ROOT RATHER THAN WORKED AROUND. TS applies
never-return control-flow narrowing only when the callee is a function
declaration or a const with an EXPLICIT type annotation. Both routers do
`const { error } = io` — destructured, unannotated — so `error(...)` did not
narrow ContainedPath | null and four sites wanted a dead
`throw new Error('unreachable')` after it. Annotating the const
(`const error: typeof io.error = io.error`) makes TS narrow properly and the dead
throws are gone.

That annotation has a large, deliberate consequence: with narrowing working,
`@typescript-eslint/no-unnecessary-type-assertion` fires at 37 sites in
commands.cts where `as string` / `!` existed ONLY to paper over the missing
narrowing. They are removed. The rule is type-aware and fires only where the
assertion changes nothing, and both forms erase at compile time, so the emitted
behavior is unchanged — but the module loses 37 unchecked casts over
string | undefined, which is the same class of "trust me" the containment work
is removing. Widening the diff here buys that.

TWO SITES LOSE DIAGNOSTIC TEXT, deliberately. tryWithinRoot has no error channel,
so init.cts's agent-skills warning and cmdPrSubrepo's rejection now name the
condition rather than echoing validatePath's message. verify.cts had already
stopped echoing it on purpose — the message embeds absolute host paths — so this
makes the three agree instead of two-of-three.

* fix(#4488): report state update as successful when the value is already correct

`cmdStateUpdate` unconditionally overwrote `updateCore`'s own `updated:true`
signal with `reconcileReportedFields`'s disk-diff result. That diff reports
`[]` -- by design -- whenever `readModifyWriteStateMd`'s #948 no-op guard
fires because the transform's output was byte-identical to the input, which
happens precisely when the requested value already equals what's on disk.
The field genuinely was found and matched; there was simply nothing left to
change. Collapsing that into the same `false`/"not found" response as a
genuine miss produced an actively wrong diagnostic message and a silent
same-day no-op in gsd-ship + gsd-extract-learnings, which both write
`Last Activity` to today's date.

Bundled discovery from this PR's own CI run: tests/lint-compiled-artifact-

cover. Untracked it and added the .gitignore entry, same fix shape as the
original nine. This eliminates the slow tsc-compile path entirely (verified:
0.1s vs ~7s locally) rather than papering over a timeout. Added a generic
regression test asserting the tracked set is fully empty.

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.

e6d047decc fix(#4129): derive completed_phases from the ROADMAP authority; honor the progress-ratchet on every state write (#4359)
* test(#4129): failing-first regressions — completed_phases clobber on resyncing writes and phase-complete failure to increment

* fix(#4129): completed_phases derives from the ROADMAP authority and the write path honors the progress-ratchet

Three coordinated prongs (diagnosis in .gsd/bug/fix-4129-completed-phases-recompute/):

P1 — buildStateFrontmatter's disk scan floors the completed-phases numerator at
the milestone-scoped ROADMAP Complete-row count (deriveProgressFromRoadmap, the
one owner), gated inside the same safeToUseRoadmapCount / not-withheld branch
that owns the denominator. A completed phase whose verification routes stale
(#2348 clean-commit-time drift) or is missing no longer under-counts forever.

P2 — applyPreserveAlways's resync arm merges instead of wholesale-replacing on
a measured scan: totals derived both directions (#2440), completed counters
up-only (#2969 — the schema-declared progress-ratchet, now enforced on the
write path like the read path always has), percent recomputed from the merged
counters. The #3756 unmeasured guard and the #3242 explicit-progress contract
are unchanged.

P3 — phase complete's atomic 3-file commit passes the post-completion
ROADMAP-derived counters through the #2736 authoritativeFm seam (new object
direction for the progress key; completedOnlyRaise at the post-preservation
re-assert), because the transaction's disk scan reads the pre-completion
ROADMAP and failed to increment on the completing phase's own write.

* fix(#4129): adversarial-review hardening — intent is a floor at BOTH authoritativeFm sites

The pre-preservation merge could lower a correctly-higher disk-derived
counter (a verification-passed phase whose ROADMAP table row drifted behind
the disk signal). completedOnlyRaise now governs both application sites: the
intent and the derivation agree on direction (up), never on subtraction.

* fix(#4129): the ratchet merge keeps derived values verbatim when numerically equal

The re-parsed derived block carries string scalars ("2") while the curated
snapshot carries numbers (2); substituting the curated spelling over an
equal derived one was a no-op in substance but a shape churn the ADR-3473
§8.7 reporting loop surfaced as a phantom preserved-over-disagreeing-derived
warning on phase complete (ADR-3408 §8.5 Matrix B). Only a strictly-greater
curated counter replaces the derived value now; percent gets the same
verbatim rule.

* test(#4094): failing-first matrix for withholding all four progress counters

* fix(#4094): withhold all four progress counters under the milestone-unbounded guard

completed_phases/total_plans/completed_plans are accumulated from the same
phaseDirs walk as total_phases, so the #3354/#3573 withhold condition makes
them equally untrustworthy — yet only total_phases was withheld, and every
resyncing state.* write silently clobbered the three stored siblings with the
under-scoped disk numbers. Extend the withhold-then-fall-back-to-stored
pattern to all three siblings: null sentinels in the disk-scan cache value,
three new stored-counter readers threaded through all three
buildStateFrontmatter call sites, and the same cached-else-stored consumer
fallback. Milestone-bounded projects are untouched (gate-conditional).

* fix(#4094): scope-requires for the new test block, keep the (#3573) warning token, and update two #3578 rows to the withheld-counter contract

- the #4094 describe sat after the closing brace of the section that owned
  the module-level beforeEach destructure, so it needs its own local requires
  (mirroring the #3642 block);
- the #3573 warning keeps its literal '(#3573)' tag (asserted by an existing
  test) with '#4094' appended as a separate token;
- two #3578 status-guard rows in tests/state.test.cjs asserted the pre-#4094
  unconditional disk-scan assignment of completed_phases under the
  roadmap-absent withhold — exactly the silent clobber #4094 removes; the
  status-guard conclusion (must not fire) is unchanged, the counter-value
  assertions now pin the withheld contract.

2e056488d9 fix(#4067): derive advance-plan phase-complete from disk, not the plan counter (#4292)
* test(#4067): pin advance-plan phase-complete guard matrix (RED)

Five-case matrix: decline on unsummarized plans (regression), fire on
fully-summarized phase, fail-open on unresolvable phase dir, idempotent
decline, normal advance untouched.

* fix(#4067): derive advance-plan phase-complete from disk, not the plan counter

The phase-complete branch of state.advance-plan was decided purely by
STATE.md's scalar plan counter (currentPlan >= totalPlans). A stale
counter carried into a newly planned phase, or a counter raced by
wave-parallel executors, let 'Phase complete — ready for verification'
land while sibling plans were still executing.

cmdStateAdvancePlan now re-decides that branch from disk before the
write: every plan in the Current Position phase's directory must have a
SUMMARY.md (scanPhasePlans single owner, the same source
state.update-progress recalculates from). Outstanding plans decline the
entire write byte-identically (idempotent, concurrency-safe, counter
stays display-only); an unavailable disk answer fails open to the
counter-derived decision.

* fix(#4067): review round 1 — route phase-dir lookup through listMilestonePhaseDirs

#3185 drift guard: no hand-rolled phases-dir readdirSync. Windowed
(current-milestone) lookup first so an archived milestone's stale dir
cannot shadow the live one; unscoped retry when the window cannot
answer. Also restore the transform's undefined-data error semantics and

bdfc62889b fix(#3784): read the hybrid Current Plan: N of M shape, keep zero-padding, and name the accepted shapes on failure (#3791)
* fix(state): read the hybrid "Current Plan: N of M" shape

advancePlanCore derived the value FORMAT from the field NAME, so it
handled the legacy pair (`Current Plan` + `Total Plans in Phase`) and the
compound `Plan: N of M`, but not the hybrid of the two: the legacy field
name carrying a compound value with no Total Plans sibling. `legacyTotal`
is null so the legacy branch fell through, and the compound branch reads
the `Plan` field through a `^Plan:`-anchored pattern that never matches
`Current Plan:`. Both produced NaN against a file whose plan numbers are
plainly readable.

The shape is not exotic. An agent wrote it unprompted into a project's
STATE.md, believing it was the parseable form, and every subsequent run
in that project inherited the failure and worked around it by hand.

Track the field name and the value shape separately (`planSourceField`,
`planRawValue`) so write-back targets whichever field the value came
from. The legacy pair still takes precedence when both fields exist, so
a stray "of N" inside Current Plan cannot override an explicit Total
Plans — covered by a new test.

Also replace the caller's catch-all error. It reported "Cannot parse
Current Plan or Total Plans" for ANY transition failure, and named no
accepted shape, so a reader learned neither what failed nor what to
write. It now distinguishes "no result" from "unreadable plan position"
and lists all three shapes. The existing test asserted the literal
"cannot parse"; it now asserts the message names the shapes, which is
the property that makes it actionable.

* fix(state): keep zero-padding when advancing a compound plan value

The compound write-back rewrote only the leading half of "N of M", so a
padded value drifted lopsided: "04 of 06" advanced to "5 of 06". Cosmetic
on its own, but a plan line that looks wrong is one the next writer tidies
by hand, and hand-tidying this particular line is what produced the hybrid
shape the previous commit had to teach the parser to read.

Pad the incremented number to the width it was written with. padStart never
truncates, so a value that outgrows its padding widens correctly: 09 of 12
advances to 10 of 12. Unpadded values are untouched — 2 of 6 still advances
to 3 of 6.

* fix(state): pass a literal field name to the compound write-back

The previous commit passed `planSourceField` — a variable — as the field-name
argument to `stateReplaceField`, which trips the state-write-path drift guard's
`unstripped_content_write` axis (ADR-3408 §8.3(b)). The guard is right to care:
a Title-Case literal cannot collide with a lowercase or snake_case frontmatter
key, so it is safe whatever the content argument is, while a variable could
hold anything and therefore requires its content to be demonstrably
frontmatter-stripped first.

The content argument here IS stripped — `body` is `stripFrontmatter(content)` —
but the guard does a narrow backward scan rather than dataflow tracking, by
design, and the nearest preceding assignment to `body` is another
`stateReplaceField` result. Rather than baseline a bypass or ask a future
reader to re-derive that the invariant holds, dispatch on the discriminator and
pass the literal.

Guard goes from 1 finding to 0; its own 32 tests pass.

* chore(3784): add changeset fragment for #3785

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016QHxbMHTPYbEqAnKTpJPR8

* test(#3784): cover the maintainer's AC1 write-back and AC6 reader-anchoring

Triage published six acceptance criteria; two were only half-covered.

AC1 asks that the hybrid write back to the SAME field with padding preserved.
The existing hybrid test used an unpadded value and asserted only `result.data`,
so it proved the parse but never the write. Now asserts the written content is
`05 of 06` on the original field, and that no separate `Plan:` field appears as
a side effect.

AC6 asks that the shared field reader not be loosened. Reading the hybrid is the
transition's job; `stateExtractField('Plan')` is line-anchored and has 13+
callers, so teaching it to match a name merely ENDING in "Plan" would be the
wrong fix and would silently change what those callers read. This holds by
construction here — the reader is untouched — but nothing locked it in. The new
test fails if anyone later reaches for that shortcut.

Also drops the changeset fragment written against the auto-closed PR number.

* chore(#3784): add changeset fragment for #3791

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016QHxbMHTPYbEqAnKTpJPR8

* fix(#3784): write the advanced plan back to the field it was read from

Review findings 2-6 on #3791 were one defect seen from several angles: the
read path learned the hybrid `Current Plan: N of M` shape, the write path
did not follow it.

- `bumpLeadingNumber` now owns the increment for all three parse branches.
  Only the leading digits belong to this transition; the padding width and
  everything after it (` of M`, and the `\r` of a CRLF file) are the
  author's text and are preserved. The legacy branch wrote `String(newPlan)`,
  which turned `2 of 99` into `3` and `04` into `5`.
- `mutateCurrentPositionForAdvance` takes the plan field NAME. Its plan arm
  only ever looked for `Plan:`, so on a hybrid file the `## Current Position`
  section was never reached; combined with the body-level write being
  single-shot and bold-preferring, a file carrying the field at both sites
  advanced the header and left the section a plan behind. The parameter
  defaults to `Plan`, so the two callers that pass no plan are unchanged.
- Tests: both-sites-advance (fails without the section arm), legacy
  write-back content assertions (the previous test read only `data` and so
  could not see the lossy write), hybrid boundary at limit-1 and limit+1, a
  CRLF fixture, and an fc property pinning the padding-width contract.

Two characterization tests pinned `**Current Plan:** 02` advancing to `3`.
That dropped padding is the defect #3784 reports, so the expectation is
corrected to `03` rather than the fix being narrowed around it.

* fix(#3784): drop the unreachable advance-plan error branch, sync the doc

Findings 1 and 8 on #3791.

The `!resultData` arm could not fire: the transform callback assigns
`resultData` unconditionally, only runs once STATE.md is known to exist (the
missing-file case returns "STATE.md not found" upstream), and every
`advancePlanCore` return path sets `data`. It was a speculative second
failure mode with a message no caller could receive, and the comment beside
it claimed to distinguish two things that were never two. `!resultData`
stays in the condition as a type guard, which is all it ever was.

`docs/json-errors.md:142` quoted the old error literal verbatim and was the
sole occurrence in the tree; it now quotes the emitted one.

* chore(#3784): describe the write-back fix in the changeset

* fix(#3784): anchor the plan grammar and widen the schema row to match

Review round 3 on #3791: B1, B2, M1, M2, M3, M4 and the planSourceField nit.

B1 — `STATE_FIELD_SCHEMA.current_plan.acceptedShapes` widens to
`['N', 'N of M']`, which is what `src/state-md-schema.cts`'s own comment
instructed this PR to do on merge. `'N/M'` stays undeclared so row 23 keeps a
non-vacuous undeclared candidate to probe. Verified `gen-state-md-docs
--check` exits 0 and `--write` rewrites 0 of 6: the generated artifacts do not
surface this row, so there is nothing stale to regenerate.

B2/M4 — the discriminator was `/of\s+(\d+)/`, unanchored, so a total could be
read out of prose. `Current Plan: 4 — blocked on review of 2 PRs` parsed as
`4 of 2`, took the `currentPlan >= totalPlans` branch and WROTE
`Status: Phase complete — ready for verification` into the user's file. Both
shapes are now anchored at the start and every number comes from a capture
group via `planNumberFrom`, which rejects anything past `Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER`
rather than letting `data` and the persisted string disagree. Nothing on this
path calls `parseInt` on a raw field value any more.

The grammar keeps a trailing remainder after the total, because
`Plan: 2 of 5 in current phase` is a real tested shape. The refusal comes from
requiring `of <total>` to follow the leading number immediately, not from
forbidding a suffix.

M1 — `bumpLeadingNumber` is total. It returned its input unchanged when there
were no leading digits, so `+2` reported `advanced: true` while writing the
file untouched.

M2 — both section arms use replacer functions. File-derived text was being
spliced into a `String.replace` replacement string, where `$&` / `` $` `` /
`$'` expand: a value of `04 of 06 $&` spliced part of the document into itself.
`stateReplaceField` already used a function; these now agree with it.

M3 — the section arm targets the name the SECTION carries, and the body write
now writes both spellings, each with its own rendering. Keying off the header's
name left the other name stale in both directions: a legacy header beside a
`Current Plan:` section line, and a `**Plan:**` header beside one.

* fix(#3784): derive the shape error from the schema, widen the test coverage

Review round 3 on #3791: B3, m1, m2, m5 and the two test nits.

B3 — the accepted-shape set had two owners: the parser branches and an English
list hand-written beside them in `state.cts`. Nothing coupled them, so adding a
branch left the message stale and removing one left it advertising a shape that
errors, with no test able to see either. The message is now built from
`STATE_FIELD_SCHEMA.current_plan.acceptedShapes`, and the CLI test walks the
schema instead of restating the list. `Plan: N of M` is still spelled out
explicitly because no schema row owns the body-only `Plan` field —
`buildStateFrontmatter` never reads it into frontmatter, so it has no key to
hang a row on.

m1 — the property drove only the pre-existing `**Plan:**` branch, i.e. not the
branch under review. It now drives both compound spellings and ranges past 99
so the width transition is covered by the property rather than one example. A
second property covers the legacy pair's own preservation contract. Both were
mutation-checked: dropping the padStart turns 9 tests red.

m2 — degenerate boundary fixtures around the threshold (`0 of 0` is
phase-complete, not an error; `0 of 3` advances) plus the shapes the anchored
grammar must refuse, including Arabic-Indic digits.

m5 — `docs/json-errors.md` described rather than quoted the message, since it
is now schema-derived and a verbatim quote would be a third owner.

Nits — the CRLF assertion could not see a `\n` at index 0; the
`!/^Plan:/m` presence proxy is now an identity assertion on the whole
`## Current Position` body.

* fix(#3784): give the section plan write its own flag, and stop narrowing what parses

Review round 4 on #3791: Blockers 1-4, Majors 1-2, Minors 1-2.

B1 — the section fallback was guarded by `!mutated`, and `mutated` is
FUNCTION-wide, already set by the phase/status/lastActivity arms that
`advancePlanCore` always populates. A section spelling the field bold or as a
pipe-table row therefore skipped its fallback because an UNRELATED field had
been refreshed, and stayed a plan behind the header — the split-brain document
this arm exists to prevent. The arm now tracks its own `planWritten`.

Worth recording: the reviewer's fixture does not reproduce. The body-level
status write lands on the section's own `Status:` when the document has no
header `Status:`, so `mutated` is still false by the time the plan arm runs and
the fallback fires. The discriminating shape needs a header `Status:` to absorb
that write AND a bold section plan line. The mechanism was right; the example
was not, and the regression test uses the shape that actually fails.

B2 — `fallbackName` chose one name by ternary. In the legacy shape both values
are populated, so it always chose `Current Plan` and a `**Plan:**` section line
— which base did write — got nothing. Each name is now attempted independently
with its own fallback.

B3 — `PLAN_SHAPE_N` was anchored harder than `PLAN_SHAPE_N_OF_M`, so values base
parsed via `parseInt` began to hard-error: `Total Plans in Phase: 5 phases`,
`Current Plan: 3 (blocked)`. #3784's brief puts normalizing plan numbers beyond
this transition's read/write out of scope, so that narrowing was not licensed.
Both grammars now carry the same trailing tolerance. The prose defect stays
closed by the START anchor, not by forbidding suffixes.

Major 1 — the whole-body `Plan` write is scoped to documents that declare a
`Plan` field, instead of firing unconditionally where `stateReplaceField`'s
first match could be prose outside `## Current Position`.

Major 2 — the error message names both `Plan` spellings the parser accepts; it
previously omitted the sibling-paired form, which is the same
message-disagrees-with-parser drift the derivation exists to close.

B4 — the changeset claimed a guarantee B1 broke; it now describes what ships.

Minors — safe-integer boundary coverage at limit-1/limit/limit+1, and the CRLF
comment states the real mechanism (`stateExtractField`'s `(.+)` stops before the
CR; the trailing group is belt-and-braces, not the primary defence).

All three blocker regression tests verified red against the pre-fix source.

* test(#3784): pin the hybrid shape against #3807's ambiguity refusal

#4028 landed `advance-plan`'s multi-`Phase:` refusal on `next` after this
branch's last run, on the same function. The guard sits above the parse, so
a refused document is never parsed and the shape #3784 adds cannot reach the
mutation — but that is a property of source ordering, so assert it as
behaviour instead.

Fail-first proven, not assumed: with `phaseCandidates.length > 1` disabled,
the ambiguous hybrid document advances its FIRST entry's
`Current Plan: 04 of 06` to `05 of 06` and writes it — #3807's exact defect,
reached through #3784's shape. Both tests go red; both go green with the
guard restored.

The control pins the other direction: an unambiguous hybrid section still
advances, and its zero-padding still survives.

* fix(#3784): advance every spelling from its own text, refuse when they disagree

Round 6 review. B1 and M1 are one defect, so they are one fix.

`advancePlanCore` picked one field to parse from, computed `newPlan`, then
wrote BOTH spellings from that field's numbers. Two symptoms:

  B1  With `Plan` as the parse source, `Current Plan` was re-stamped with
      the number just derived from `Plan`. `Current Plan: 7` beside
      `Plan: 2 of 5` silently became `Current Plan: 3` — a value nothing
      derived for that field, no error, no diagnostic.
  M1  With the legacy pair winning, the `Plan:` line was re-rendered from
      a bare `${newPlan} of ${totalPlans}` built out of the sibling field.
      `Plan: 2 of 9` became `3 of 5`; `Plan: 03 of 05` became `4 of 5`.
      The changeset's claim that padding and everything after it survive
      was true only for whichever field happened to be the parse source.

Now: every spelling is advanced from its own raw text via
`bumpLeadingNumber`, so each keeps its own padding, its own total and its
own trailing annotation. Differing TOTALS are preserved, not reconciled —
`Plan: 2 of 9` beside a `Total Plans in Phase: 5` advances to `3 of 9`.

Differing CURRENT numbers are refused, with `reason:
"ambiguous_plan_position"` and both candidates named. Same posture as
#3807's multi-`Phase:` guard one field over: name the conflict, let the
caller resolve it, never pick. The guard sits immediately after the parse,
BEFORE the phase-complete branch — guarding only the normal advance would
let `Current Plan: 7` beside `Plan: 5 of 5` write a terminal "Phase
complete" into a document whose two spellings never agreed.

A field present but unreadable (`Plan: TBD`) is left exactly as authored.
Refusing the whole document because an unrelated line cannot be read would
be a narrowing #3784 does not license; writing a derived number over it is
the fabrication B1 was filed for.

The `planSourceField`/`planRawValue`/`useCompoundFormat` tracking is gone.
It existed only so the write path could ask which field the value came
from, and the write path no longer asks.

M2. The bare `Plan: N` + `Total Plans in Phase: M` shape is dropped. A
revision of this PR added it; base refused it. It cannot be given the
schema-row + forcing-test coupling the other shapes have, because `Plan`
is body-only and `buildStateFrontmatter` never reads it into frontmatter,
so there is no `current_*` key to hang a row on. Parser, the spelling in
`advancePlanShapeError`, and the lockstep test move together — the
invariant is the lockstep, not the length of the list.

N1. The whitespace narrowing (`5phases` no longer parses where `parseInt`
read 5) is documented in the changeset beside the other deliberate
narrowings, rather than loosened. Loosening restores the half-parse this
change exists to remove.

Tests: eight new cases plus a property that crosses the two spellings with
agreeing and disagreeing numbers — the review noted the existing
properties never did. Fail-first proven: restoring the old write path
reddens seven of the eight, both new property arms, and two pre-existing
padding tests.

* fix(#3784): report Current Plan as updated only when it was written

The write became conditional in the previous commit — a `Current Plan:`
that is present but unreadable is left as authored — but the `updated`
push stayed unconditional, so `transitionCore` reported a field it had not
touched. `reconcileReportedFields` would have caught it against the
persisted bytes at the `state.cts` caller, but `transitionCore`'s own
`updated` is consumed directly (milestone-lock, the transition tests) and
has to be true on its own.

Covers the mirror of the unreadable-spelling case: `Current Plan: TBD`
beside a readable `Plan: 2 of 5`, where `Plan` is the parse source and the
legacy field is the one that cannot advance. Fail-first proven.

* test(#3784): account for the new refusal in the output({error}) census

`tests/io.test.cjs`' A3 census asserts the exact population of
`output({error})` call sites in `src/`, per module. The
`ambiguous_plan_position` refusal added a 27th to `state.cts`, so the
census went red at 26/65.

Updated the way #3807 updated it when it added the ambiguous-POSITION
error one line above: bump the count and name the addition inline, so the
next person reads why the number is what it is. The alarm did its job —
it is the only gate that noticed a new user-visible error path had been
introduced.

1a358ce0fd feat(#2761): bracket-tolerant read path — roadmap/validate/verify/state recognize bracket ids (epic #612 PR-2) (#2867)
* feat(#2761): gated heading-intro selection + one bracket identity grammar

Foundation. Two owner-level changes plus a federated convention resolver; no
reader consumes them yet.

1. GATED SELECTION, not an ungated widening.

   Widening every heading matcher requires the claim "no legacy ROADMAP contains
   a `[CODE.MM]` bracket followed by a digit", and that is false:
   `### [RFC.2119] 5:`, `### [v1.0] 2024:`, `### [ADR.612] 3:` and
   `### [ISO.8601] 2026:` are ordinary headings, and a widened reader claims each
   as a phase — moving phase_count and total_phases and adding W006 on projects
   that never opted in. No narrowing rescues it: the premise is about documents
   we do not control.

   `phaseHeadingPrefixSrcFor(baseline, convention, capturing?)` selects the
   pattern SOURCE at construction time. A project whose resolved
   `phase_id_convention` is not exactly 'bracket' compiles the same source string
   it compiled before. `baseline` is explicit because whether a site spells the
   any-bracket prefix or a bare `Phase\s+` is a fact about that site's history:
   handing the wider grammar to a bare site retro-grants tolerance it never had,
   in both directions — warnings appear, and a warning that fires today vanishes.

   Both bracket forms CAPTURE. `[GSD.999] Phase 07:` previously matched through
   the base alternative, which captures nothing, so a reader saw no bracket, fell
   back to the legacy token rule, and counted a labeled icebox heading while
   excluding the label-less one beside it — two derivations of one ROADMAP
   disagreeing.

2. ONE bracket identity grammar, one width rule.

   The milestone width is reconciled with the emit validator: pad2 output, so
   two digits or 3+ with no leading zero. Earlier spellings diverged in both
   directions — admitting `002`, which the validator rejects, and a bare `0` pad2
   never produces — and the section recognizers accepted `[GSD.2]`, which SCOPED
   a milestone no phase heading could then resolve into, recreating the
   on-disk-count fallback this epic removes. An unpadded bracket is now uniformly
   malformed: it scopes nothing, bounds nothing, sections nothing. W005 on its
   directories is the surfacing signal.

   The milestone field is boundary-anchored, so a malformed run cannot match by
   its prefix (`GSD.002-01` read as sentinel `00`). Recognition stays
   case-insensitive because readers compile `/i`, but identity helpers match
   `[A-Z]`, so a captured id is folded first — otherwise `### [gsd.999] 07:`
   failed every sentinel test. The qualified key shares the width, the `(?=-|$)`
   boundary and the single-sub-phase shape of the directory token, because
   phaseTokenMatches returns unconditionally on a qualified hit: a key matching a
   directory isPhaseDirName rejects would be a final wrong answer.

3. resolvePhaseIdConvention federates workstream -> root exactly as
   config-loader does — including that root is a fallback only when a WORKSTREAM
   is active, so a project-scoped directory stands alone. loadConfig cannot serve
   this: it merges against CONFIG_DEFAULTS and drops keys it does not know, and
   this key is not among them. It governs the bracket-selection reads ONLY.

PHASE_HEADING_PREFIX_SRC is left byte-identical: PR-1 shipped it, nothing
consumes it, and it is superseded rather than redefined.

* feat(#2761): roadmap.cts selects its heading grammar from the convention

Six matchers build their intro through the gated selector, and
cmdRoadmapAnalyze / cmdRoadmapGetPhase / getRoadmapPhaseWithFallback each
resolve the convention ONCE per command and thread it down.

Three sites take the any-bracket baseline (they already tolerated
`[anything] Phase N`); three take label-only (they spelled a bare `Phase\s+`).
Handing the wider grammar to a label-only site retro-grants tolerance it never
had — and not only by adding matches: on a legacy repo an unchecked
`- [ ] **[v1.0] Phase 05: Thing**` bullet would start SUPPRESSING the W006 that
fires today.

Sentinel handling under bracket ADDS a rule rather than replacing one: a
bracketed heading is a sentinel when its bracket milestone is reserved
(`### [GSD.999] 01:`) OR when its token is, so the engine-wide 0/999 backlog
convention keeps applying to `### [GSD.02] 999:`. Replacing the token rule let a
mid-migration ROADMAP — bracket headings plus a legacy backlog block, exactly
the content this epic targets — add entries to the progress denominator. The
captured id is folded before the identity test, so a lowercase
`### [gsd.999] 07:` is excluded too.

The DIRECTORY read is threaded too. `cmdRoadmapAnalyze` resolves the convention
once and hands it to all four of its heading/checklist patterns, but the single
`phaseTokenMatches` call that decides `disk_status`, `plan_count`,
`summary_count`, `has_context` and `has_research` was left two-argument — so
every canonical `{CODE}.{MM}-{PP}-slug` directory read as `no_directory` with
zero counts, on the PR's own headline verb, while the SAME build resolved those
same directories correctly in three other places on the same repo (W006/W007 via
phaseTokenFromDir, `state json` via the milestone filter, and the W021
milestone-complete read through this very helper's three-argument form). It
failed ONLY for the directory shape the convention exists to name: a
mid-migration bracket repo carrying legacy `01-one` dirs resolved fine, which is
why nothing caught it. Measured, bracket vs its flat-legacy twin:
`[["01","no_directory",0,0],["02","no_directory",0,0]]` against
`[["01","complete",1,1],["02","planned",1,0]]`.

The oracle is the twin, computed in the same test run, plus exact literals —
`grep disk_status tests/adr-612-*` was zero hits before this, so neither the fix
nor a future regression had any gate at all.

Disclosed: a ROADMAP written in bracket form before config.json is switched
reads as empty rather than mis-counted. Silent invisibility during the migration
window is the deliberate trade against claiming phases on projects that never
opted in.

* feat(#2761): validate.cts selects its grammar; gated directory recognition

The W006/W007 feeders take the resolved convention as a threaded parameter.
These sites carry the letter-tolerant `[\w][\w.-]*` capture, which makes them
where an ungated widening does the most damage: `### [RFC.2119] 5:` enters
roadmapPhases as a phantom and becomes a W007 "in ROADMAP.md but no directory on
disk" on a project that never opted in.

buildRoadmapPhaseVariants also surfaces the tokens borne ONLY by sentinel-bracket
headings. Surfaced rather than filtered in place because roadmapPhases feeds both
a membership check and a missing-directory warning, and only the latter should
ignore an icebox item.

That set is OCCURRENCE-AWARE, and the subtlety is load-bearing: roadmapPhases is
a TOKEN set, so `[GSD.999] 01` and `[GSD.02] 01` collapse to one entry. Keying
suppression on the token alone let an icebox heading silence a REAL phase that
happens to share its number — a false negative strictly worse than the warning it
removed. A token is suppressed only when no non-sentinel heading bears it.

Directory recognition is added as gated FUNCTIONS beside the exported RegExp
constants, which stay byte-identical: the `{CODE}.{MM}-` prefix is
string-indistinguishable from the letter-prefixed-decimal family this repo
documents as ambiguous, and folding a branch in changes those constants' answers
on exactly that family. A RegExp constant has nowhere to attach a gate.

The recognizer mirrors the emit grammar and delegates the token to the canonical
owner, so recognizer and resolver agree on rejected input as well as accepted.
Both functions throw on a non-string, matching the call pattern they replace.

buildRoadmapPhaseVariants' CHECKLIST scan is capturing, like its heading twin
and like the sibling checklist scan in roadmap.cts, and for the reason that one
states: the bracket id has to ride along or the sentinel filter is blind to
`- [ ] **[GSD.999] 01: Icebox**`. Left un-capturing, the scan called every
checklist token REAL, and the occurrence-aware un-suppression loop then deleted
the icebox token the HEADING scan had correctly marked sentinel — so `validate
consistency` warned that a bracket ICEBOX phase had no directory, in the HOUSE
ROADMAP shape where an icebox appears as both a bold bullet and a detail
heading. `validate health` stayed silent on that same repo, so the two verbs
disagreed — which is the disagreement `sentinelPhases` exists to close.

Both directions are pinned, because the failure mode of a careless fix here is
the opposite one: a real phase sharing a sentinel's token must still warn. It
does, in all four shapes that attack it (sentinel heading + real bullet,
lowercase sentinel, sentinel after the real heading, colon-less bullet).

* fix(#2761): count bracket headings, and retire them, in both derivations

Both `total_phases` derivations select their grammar from the resolved
convention, in one commit — cmdStateSync already carries the comment that it
mirrors buildStateFrontmatter "so both report consistent percents (#3242 Bug B)",
so teaching one and not the other ships that divergence.

The #1514 retirement filter widens WITH the counter it protects. The canonical
gesture strikes the checklist BULLET and leaves the detail heading intact, so a
bracket-form retirement went undetected and the phase stayed in the denominator
forever. That is half a fix alone: the retired key is compared against
phaseKeyFromDir, which called extractPhaseToken with no convention. Both halves
land here.

Under bracket the sentinel token rule composes as the full engine set {0, 999},
so this counter agrees with `roadmap analyze`, which has always excluded both —
otherwise the two derivations report different numbers for one ROADMAP and the
changeset's "excluded from every count" is false as written. The LEGACY path
keeps its pre-existing 999-only rule: widening it there would move legacy totals,
so the two stay split off the bracket path exactly as they are today.

The sync-side assertion reads the PERCENT sync writes into the STATE.md body, not
the frontmatter total_phases. Sync's own counter never reaches that field — the
read derivation writes it — so asserting the frontmatter after a sync measures the
read path twice and lets a mutation to the write-path guard survive.

* feat(#2761): verify.cts bracket-coherence W021 + selected milestone-complete read

The shipped milestone-prefixed W021 gate keeps its ROOT-only config read,
verbatim base semantics. Federating it silently moved a legacy convention's
answer in BOTH directions on workstream repos — a W021 that fires at base
vanishing, and one that is silent at base firing. resolvePhaseIdConvention
governs the new bracket-selection reads only.

B6, the milestone-complete check, keeps its ungated POSTURE (bug-557 pins it
with an empty config) but selects its grammar from the convention. Inferring
'bracket' from the shape of a matched bracket ran a repo-failing check against a
legacy ROADMAP that merely contained `### [RFC.2119] 5:`. Directory resolution
widens with the heading read, so a bracket repo whose phases are on disk stays
silent, and a bracket sentinel is not reported as unstarted.

checkBracketCoherence is advisory and gated. Anchored to tokenizeHeadings so
fenced examples cannot warn and heading level is structural. Its scope rules each
close a way it silently did nothing or fired wrongly: only a genuine MILESTONE
heading opens or closes a section (a `### Notes` used to reset scope and disable
both sub-checks); a legacy `## v3.0` DOES close it; an M-NN or letter-suffixed
phase heading raises missing-bracket and CONTINUES; a bare `#### 2026:` is not a
phase; the full h2-h6 range is processed. Its section recognizer shares the one
milestone width, so an unpadded `### [GSD.3] 05:` can no longer be a phase to the
id grammar and a section to the section grammar at once, silently re-scoping
every warning after it.

validate consistency suppresses bracket sentinels in its missing-directory
warning — the two verbs disagreed, health suppressing via notStartedPhases while
consistency did not. The legacy reading is untouched, including its pre-existing
wart that `### Phase 999:` still warns there.

* fix(#2761): scope the milestone by its bracket; select the disk-side filter

Two roadmap-parser reads, both of which made a bracket project's totals track
the disk instead of the ROADMAP.

The ADR pins the bracket milestone heading as `## [GSD.02] Foundation` — a name,
no version — but scoping matched STATE's `milestone: v2.0` STRING against a
heading, so the canonical form matched nothing and total_phases fell back to the
directory count. The rule was re-derived in THREE places: extractCurrentMilestone
plus two `milestoneBounded` guards; fixing one left the others falling back
regardless, so they are now one gated helper. It matches the CANONICAL padded
spelling only — accepting `0*N` bounded a milestone whose phases were invisible,
which un-suppressed a progress percent computed off an unscoped disk count.

getMilestonePhaseFilter's heading scan becomes the 14th selected read. On a
bracket ROADMAP it collected nothing, so the filter degraded to pass-all and
buildStateFrontmatter counted every other milestone's directories — making the
bracket convention strictly worse than the M-NN one it supersedes on the property
that matters most: totals must track the ROADMAP, not the disk.

The DIRECTORY side of that same filter is selected with it. Teaching only the
heading scan was half a fix and a worse one: `milestonePhaseNums` became
non-empty, so the pass-all degrade stopped firing, but no bracket directory could
satisfy the three legacy dir checks (numericRe fails on `GSD.02-05-five`, the
custom-id match captures the project code `GSD`, and stripProjectCodePrefix does
not strip a dotted prefix). Every bracket directory was rejected, and
completed_phases / total_plans / completed_plans / percent all collapsed to 0
while `state sync` went on writing a percent off the unfiltered disk — `state
json` reporting 0% on the same repo, in the same second, that STATE.md's body
called 67%. That is the #3242 Bug B divergence this PR exists to avoid, and
total_phases could not show it: `Math.max(phaseDirs.length, roadmapPhaseCount)`
floors it at the ROADMAP count no matter how many directories are rejected.

The dir side matches on the milestone-QUALIFIED id, delegated to the owner's
gated `phaseTokenMatches(dir, id, 'bracket')`, not on the bare token: READING-B
puts the milestone in the bracket, so `GSD.01-01-old-one` and `GSD.02-01-one`
share the token `01` and only the qualified key separates them. The qualified ids
are kept in their own set — a hyphen in `milestonePhaseNums` would flip
`roadmapUsesHyphenedIds` and silently move the LEGACY dir path on a bracket repo
— and the branch is ADDITIVE: on a miss it falls through to the three legacy
checks, so a bracket project carrying legacy-shaped directories reads unchanged.

Both are resolved lazily and gated, so the legacy path pays neither a config read
nor a second scan and cannot change answer. The scoping call is also GUARDED:
resolvePhaseIdConvention reaches planningDir, which throws a plain Error for a
GSD_PROJECT/GSD_WORKSTREAM segment carrying `/`, `\` or `..`. At base the only
planningDir call in extractCurrentMilestone sits inside the STATE-read try, so
the function returned normally on such an environment; an unguarded one here let
that escape and broke the never-throws invariant that getRoadmapPhaseInternal and
getMilestoneInfo three hundred lines below carry #2245 / ADR-227 notes about.
Unreachable through the CLI — GSD_WORKSTREAM is rejected up front by the
workstream-name policy and GSD_PROJECT throws identically at base — but reachable
by any in-process embedder, which is precisely who that invariant is for. The
filter's own resolve call was already inside its try and is unaffected.

The milestone-qualified key is formed only for a token that is itself a bracket
phase token. `${bracketId}-${token}` is a string SPLICE, so a mid-migration
heading carrying an M-NN label — `### [GSD.02] Phase 02-01:` — spliced to
`GSD.02-02-01`, which the qualified-key grammar reads as milestone 02 / phase 02:
the `-01` truncated, both such headings collapsing to one key, and the heading
claiming `GSD.02-02-two`, the directory it does NOT name, while rejecting
`GSD.02-01-one`, the one it does. The guard drops those headings back to the
unqualified legacy path, restoring the base ACCEPTANCE VECTOR exactly — pinned
against the milestone-prefixed reading of the same ROADMAP, which is
base-identical on this shape.

Scoped precisely, because the fixture moves one number that the guard does not
touch: `total_phases` on it reads 1 at base and 2 here. That is the bracket
heading COUNT this PR exists to add, not the splice — measured identical with and
without the guard, and identical to what the canonical `### [GSD.02] 01:`
spelling does on the same fixture (both read 2 with zero directories on disk,
where base reads 0). The claim is base-equivalent ACCEPTANCE, not a
base-equivalent reading.

One consequence is stated rather than fixed: a heading whose token carries a
hyphen still puts that hyphen into milestonePhaseNums and so still flips
`roadmapUsesHyphenedIds`. Base does the same for that spelling, so preserving it
is what keeps the shape base-equivalent; excluding the token would have moved
answers versus base on malformed input. The comment at the qualified-set
declaration is corrected to claim only what is true — it keeps QUALIFIED IDS out
of that flag's input, not hyphens in general.

The oracles ship with it, and they are the five numbers, not the one: the parity
gate now asserts total_phases, completed_phases, total_plans, completed_plans AND
percent, on both derivations, on two fixture shapes (one milestone; two
milestones with stale prior-milestone directories on disk). The oracle is the
flat-legacy twin, built in the same test run and compared number for number,
plus exact literals so a shared wrong answer cannot pass.

The oracle SUBSTITUTION is itself pinned. The M-NN spelling of these shapes could
not serve, because buildStateFrontmatter's #2445 de-dup key captures only a
directory's leading integer and collapses `02-01-one` / `02-02-two` /
`02-03-three` to one — measured [3,0,1,0,0] against the flat-legacy twin's
[3,2,3,2,67], identically at base and before this fix, and structurally
unreachable from the bracket key space. That reasoning is only sound while it
stays true, so a characterization test holds the M-NN reading down on the two
numbers that do not depend on which directory wins the mtime race. Widen the
de-dup key and it fails, instead of quietly invalidating the changeset's
disclosure.

Also adds the call-site pin. The structural table pins transcription against the
selector; it cannot see a call site whose BASELINE ARGUMENT is wrong. Flipping
verify.cts's milestone-complete site to the wider baseline grants a
fires-on-every-repo check tolerance it has never had, and every behavioural test
still passed. The pin reads the shipped sources and asserts the mode at each of
the 14 sites, count-exact.

* test(#2761): pin the bracket read surfaces in the parity gate

This gate exists because #2043 fixed one bug across five hand-edited copies of a
rule and #2232 was the residual that survived, because a later reader could not
tell the copies were one rule. PR-2 adds two consumers, so they belong here.

Surface 7 — the heading read and the directory read must agree about WHICH phase
a `MM-<seg>` pair names, across the shared width corpus, and the bracket and
legacy spellings of one heading must yield the same token.

Surface 8 — the two bracket directory readers, in BOTH directions. Agreement on
ACCEPTED input was already pinned; agreement on REJECTED input is where they
actually diverged.

* chore(#2761): changeset

Disclosures for the PR body (deliberate, not defects):

- phase_id_convention is not a CONFIG_DEFAULTS key, so loadConfig drops it and
  cannot serve as the convention resolver however the file is federated. This PR
  ships its own workstream->root resolver; adding the key and its value enum is
  later-slice work.
- Convention matching is strictly === 'bracket'. A misspelled value reads as
  not-configured and the project keeps legacy behaviour silently.
- An UNPADDED bracket milestone (`[GSD.2]`) is malformed: it scopes nothing,
  bounds nothing, sections nothing, and is not a phase id. W005 on its
  directories is the surfacing signal.
- WIDTH UNIFICATION MOVED FOUR MERGED PR-1 EXPORT ANSWERS on non-canonical
  inputs, none of which toDir can emit and none of which had a bracket caller at
  base:
    isSentinelPhaseId('GSD.0-01',    'bracket')  true  -> false
    isSentinelPhaseId('GSD.0999-01', 'bracket')  true  -> false
    getMilestoneFromPhaseId('GSD.2-01',   'bracket')  'v2.0' -> null
    getMilestoneFromPhaseId('GSD.002-01', 'bracket')  'v2.0' -> null
  The canonical pad2 sentinel spelling `[GSD.00]` still tests true.
- FLAG TO MAINTAINER: docs/adr/612:132 reads "Sentinel behavior (0.x / 999.x ->
  milestone null) is preserved". After the unification that holds for the
  canonical `00` spelling only, not for a bare `[GSD.0]`. ADR wording is yours;
  flagging the tension rather than editing it.
- The bracket sentinel rule COMPOSES with the legacy one — a bracketed heading is
  a sentinel when its bracket milestone OR its token is reserved. Under bracket
  the state-side token rule is the full {0, 999} set so both derivations agree;
  the LEGACY path keeps its pre-existing 999-only rule, unchanged.
- validate consistency's legacy reading is untouched, including the pre-existing
  wart that `### Phase 999:` warns there while validate health suppresses it.
- find-phase still cannot resolve a bracket phase directory. phase-locator.cts is
  outside this PR's module set. Sibling PR #2559's matchPhaseDirs calls
  phaseTokenMatches without a convention, so whichever slice lands second must
  thread it through.
- Four of the five bracket readers scan raw ROADMAP content, so a bracket heading
  inside a fenced code block is read as a phase. Pre-existing for the legacy
  spelling; parity, not a new class.
- roadmapPhaseLookupSources gained no bracket source: nothing emits a
  milestone-qualified query into it yet.
- roadmap validate remains a separate, unfederated convention reader.
  Pre-existing and base-identical, but two verbs can disagree about the active
  convention on one project.
- _diskScanCache keys on cwd while the values it caches are now
  convention-dependent. Not reproducible through the CLI; pre-existing for the
  workstream dimension, widened here. Stated as inconclusive.
- A ROADMAP written in bracket form before config.json is switched reads as empty
  rather than mis-counted — the deliberate migration-window trade.
- THE READ AND WRITE PERCENTS STILL DIVERGE ON A MULTI-MILESTONE REPO, and that
  divergence is MIRRORED under bracket rather than closed. buildStateFrontmatter
  applies the milestone filter; cmdStateSync does its own fs.readdirSync and never
  calls it, so on a repo carrying prior-milestone directories the read path
  reports the SCOPED percent and the sync body reports the WHOLE-DISK one.
  Measured on the true base build (d04592de), flat-legacy spelling, 3 in-scope
  phases with 1 complete plus 2 stale prior-milestone dirs: `state json`
  [3,1,3,1,33], sync body 60%. The bracket twin of that repo now reads the same
  two numbers — 33 and 60. Scoping the sync counter would move every legacy
  repo's percent, which a bracket read-path PR must not do. The gate pins both
  sides, so the mirror cannot silently become a one-sided fix.
- THE PARITY ORACLE IS THE FLAT-LEGACY TWIN, NOT THE M-NN ONE, and that is a
  measurement finding rather than a preference. buildStateFrontmatter's #2445
  de-dup key captures only a directory's LEADING integer, so the M-NN dirs
  `02-01-one` / `02-02-two` / `02-03-three` all key to `2` and two of the three
  are dropped before they are ever counted: base reads [3,0,1,0,0] where the
  flat-legacy twin of the same repo reads [3,2,3,2,67]. Present identically at
  base and at HEAD, untouched here, and structurally unreachable from the bracket
  key space — `GSD.02-01-one` does not match that pattern at all, so every bracket
  directory keys to its own name. The source line already carries a
  `phase-id-owner:` sanction recording the divergence. Mirroring it under bracket
  would mean manufacturing a collision that cannot occur, so the gate compares
  against the flat-legacy spelling, which is uncontaminated. This paragraph is
  itself pinned: a characterization test holds the M-NN reading on the two
  numbers that do not depend on which directory wins the mtime race, so widening
  the de-dup key in a later slice fails the suite rather than silently making
  this disclosure false.
- THE `phaseTokenMatches` CALL-SITE CENSUS, stated so the remaining gaps are
  auditable rather than implied. 13 call sites outside the owner (phase-id.cts).
  THREE are three-argument: verify.cts:2229 (the W021 milestone-complete read,
  already was), roadmap.cts:436 (`roadmap analyze`'s directory lookup, threaded
  by this PR) and roadmap-parser.cts:792 (the disk-side milestone filter, added
  by this PR). The other TEN are two-argument and stay that way — phase.cts ×5
  (220, 277, 444, 585, 1547), phase-locator.cts:62, smart-entry.cts:243,
  init.cts:1414, milestone.cts:551 and verify.cts:2467. All ten are untouched by
  this PR and base-identical.
  One of them sits in a file this PR DOES edit, so it is named rather than left
  to a reader's grep: verify.cts:2467, `verify schema-drift <phase>`. Measured on
  a bracket repo across base / pre-fix branch / this HEAD, all three agree on all
  three argument forms — `verify schema-drift GSD.02-01` and `… 01` both report
  "Phase directory not found" on every build, and `… GSD.02-01-one` resolves on
  every build through the exact-directory-name fallback. So the user-visible
  shape of what stays broken is: a bracket phase is addressable there by full
  directory name only, exactly as at base. Threading the convention into a
  function this PR never touched, in the last round before ship, is the wrong
  trade; it is where the same one-argument fix goes next, alongside
  milestone.cts:551 and init.cts:1414.
- A BRACKET HEADING WHOSE TOKEN CARRIES A HYPHEN (`### [GSD.02] Phase 02-01:`,
  a mid-migration spelling) forms NO milestone-qualified key, and therefore
  scopes through the unqualified legacy path — base-equivalent ACCEPTANCE, which
  is the claim, and not a base-equivalent reading: `total_phases` on that shape
  moves 1 -> 2 for the same reason it moves on the canonical `### [GSD.02] 01:`
  spelling, because counting bracket headings is what this PR does. Such a token
  still flips `roadmapUsesHyphenedIds`, as it also does at base. The comment at
  the qualified-set declaration now claims only that narrower, true thing.

The `pr:` field carries the sub-issue number as a placeholder — it must be
updated to the real PR number when the PR is opened.

* chore(#2761): point the changeset at PR #2867

* test(#2761): fast-check properties for the convention-selection layer

CONTRIBUTING.md mandates a generative property test for parser/bijective-contract
changes; PR-2 shipped six example-based files and none. This adds the missing
layer, scoped to what PR-2 actually contracts — WHICH pattern each reader
compiles, decided by the resolved `phase_id_convention` — rather than restating
PR-1's grammar round-trip properties, which already live in
tests/adr-612-bracket-grammar.test.cjs.

Four properties: P1 an opted-in repo reads the ADR-canonical label-less bracket
heading/dir and a non-opted-in repo is byte-blind to the identical input; P2
every non-bracket convention agrees with the hand-transcribed BASE source over
generated content, including bracket-DOTTED legacy prose (`[RFC.2119] 5:`) that
must never be claimed as a phase; P3 nine per-field mutations are rejected and
the one case variation folds instead; P4 both sides of a phase comparison derive
the same key under the same convention.

Generators template every input from raw primitives — nothing is seeded through
renderPhaseId/toDir, the p2() tautology that made #2258 round 1's property test
structurally unable to find B1. Domain reaches past 99 into the 3+-digit branch
(round 2's numArb-capped-at-99 miss), forces sub-phases in at weight, and pins
both sentinel milestones.

Falsified against the COMPILED lib, not the source: five deliberate mutants
(gate never fires; gate always fires; milestone width widened to \d+; the #612
convention forwarding dropped from phaseKeyFromDir; extractPhaseToken's bracket
branch ungated) each fail the specific property that should catch them —
16/2, 16/2, 15/3, 17/1, 17/1 pass/fail — and the lib restores byte-identical.

An earlier draft of P2 held vacuously: its base regex omitted the markdown
furniture the selected one carried, so every realistic `### Phase NN:` line
matched neither side. The gate-always-fires mutant did not kill it. Both are now
compiled through one function, and that mutant kills P2.

* test(#2761): adversarial malformed bracket tokens across the tolerant readers

The existing boundary coverage stopped at shapes the emit grammar rejects
(unpadded `[GSD.3]`, wrong-case, `12A`). It never exercised a STRUCTURALLY
broken token — a non-numeric milestone, a bracket that never closes, a bracket
nested in another — which is the input a tolerant reader is most likely to
half-read, and the one the PR's own regex commentary is explicit about.

read-tolerance (roadmap heading scan + validate's dir and variant builders):
ten malformed headings, each asserted to be read as a phase by NO convention and
to give the opted-in repo the same answer as the legacy one; the corpus driven
through `roadmap analyze` end to end; malformed DIRECTORY names asserted
unrecognized and non-throwing on all four conventions; and the two variant
builders asserted to agree, since a widening that reaches only one splits
`validate consistency` from `validate health` (the #3242 Bug B shape).

coherence (verify.cts W021): the same six broken shapes asserted to raise no
W021 of their own AND not to re-scope the W021 that follows them — the G2
failure mode reached from a different shape, where a heading that is not a phase
but IS read as a section silently moves later warnings onto the wrong milestone.

Both files gain a pathological-input time bound. Nested quantifiers over a long
unclosed bracket are the classic ReDoS shape and two commits on next (#2828,
#2944) were CodeQL-flagged for exactly that, so the bound is asserted rather
than argued from reading the pattern. The probes themselves parse no regex.

* docs(#2761): document "bracket" as a phase_id_convention value

The row listed only `"milestone-prefixed"` and `null`, so after two shipped
slices (#2258 grammar, this PR's read path) the convention had no documented
enum value. CONFIGURATION.md is also a top-10 historical co-changer of both
src/verify.cts and src/state.cts and was absent from this PR.

The row states the boundary rather than the ambition: `"bracket"` changes the
READ path only, there is no migrator and no emit yet, and a project on any other
value compiles the patterns it compiled before. That keeps the docs honest for
the two releases before PR-3 and PR-4 land, instead of describing a convention a
user cannot yet migrate to.

* chore(#2761): retype the changeset Added, drop the docs-exempt marker

`Fixed` was wrong by CONTRIBUTING.md's own definition — a fix restores
documented behavior, and bracket read tolerance is the second slice of a
capability that did not exist before #2258. The type also carried a
`docs-exempt` marker, and `Fixed`/`Security` are exempt from the docs-required
lint, so the typing had the effect of routing around a gate this change should
pass. It now passes it: `lint-docs-required` returns ok_docs_updated on the
CONFIGURATION.md row added in the previous commit.

Body gains one sentence pointing at that row and restating that `"bracket"` is a
read-path opt-in until the migrator and write path land.

* test(#2761): pin the version-less bracket milestone scoping gap; narrow the claim

The changeset asserted that milestone scoping "recognises the ADR-canonical
`## [GSD.02] Foundation` heading and applies to the phase DIRECTORIES too." A
CLI probe on that exact heading form falsifies the second half: with no `vN.N`
in the milestone heading the directory side does not scope, and directories from
BOTH the prior and the later milestone are admitted. Measured 4 dirs counted
where the milestone declares 2.

Every bracket fixture in the suite writes `## [GSD.02] v2.0: …`, so nothing
covered the form the ADR actually specifies — and the state.cts doc comment
calls that version-less form canonical.

Mechanism, in extractCurrentMilestone: the bracket scope branch selects the
right currentSection, but `preambleCutoff` keys off a pattern requiring a
version or status emoji, so a version-less roadmap falls back to the current
milestone's own offset and every PRIOR milestone lands in the preamble — whose
phase-stripping regex only strips `Phase N:`-labelled headings, so bracket phase
headings survive it. Independently, `computeSectionEnd` accepts a boundary only
on a version/emoji heading, so the section runs to EOF and every LATER milestone
is swept in. Two sites, bidirectional.

Not fixed here: it changes milestone scoping, which is shared with the legacy
path. Five characterization tests pin today's reading plus a versioned CONTROL
proving the version string is the only difference, and the changeset sentence is
narrowed to what the code does. The DEFECT assertions are written to be
INVERTED by the fix, not deleted — that inversion is its regression proof.

* docs(#2761): re-anchor the branch's own cross-file line citations after the rebase

Three of this branch's code comments cite sibling call sites by line number, and
the rebase onto 178ec000 moved two of the three targets:

  roadmap-parser.cts  validate.cts:210 -> :218   (const g = capturing ? 1 : 0)
                      state.cts:1715   -> :1752  (const bg = … 'bracket' ? 1 : 0)
  roadmap.cts         verify.cts:2229  -> :2355  (phaseTokenMatches 3-arg form)

`state.cts:1715` had drifted 37 lines and now lands on the retirement skip, not
the capture-offset idiom the sentence is about — the citation read as evidence
for a claim the cited line does not support.

planning-workspace.cts's `config-loader.cts:618/:649` was checked and is still
correct; left alone.

Comment-only. Build, drift guard and the bracket suites re-run unchanged.

* fix(#2761): scope the version-less bracket milestone heading too (B1)

computeSectionEnd and the preambleCutoff scan in extractCurrentMilestone
(roadmap-parser.cts) only recognized a milestone boundary heading that
carried a vN.N token or a status emoji. The ADR-canonical bracket
heading (## [GSD.02] Foundation) carries neither, so on that shape
computeSectionEnd fell through to content.length (sweeping every LATER
milestone into scope) and preambleCutoff fell back to the current
milestone's own offset (leaking every PRIOR milestone's bracket phases
into the preamble, whose Phase-N: strip regex never matches them).

Under the bracket scope branch, both sites now also accept a
`#{1,2}\s+\[CODE.MM\]` boundary, built from phase-id.cts's BRACKET_ID_SRC
(single owner of the bracket-id grammar) rather than a re-typed literal.
`#{1,2}` is the deliberate discriminator: a bracket PHASE heading is
level 3 and shares the same `[CODE.MM]` prefix, so a `#{1,3}` boundary
would swallow it too. Reachable only when bracketScopeConvention ===
'bracket' was already resolved (i.e. the bracket scope branch actually
fired), so version-bearing/emoji headings and non-bracket conventions
take the exact pre-existing code path byte-identically — confirmed by
the full adr-612 suite staying green.

Inverts the four DEFECT assertions in the
"#612 PR-2 CHARACTERIZATION: a version-less bracket milestone does not
scope" describe block (tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs)
into their regression-proof form, per the block's own doc comment, and
reframes the describe title/comments accordingly. Corrects the
.changeset/2761-bracket-read-tolerance.md fragment, which described the
directory-side version-less gap as an open, un-closed bound.

* fix(#2761): thread sentinelPhases into validate health's W006 loop (B2)

cmdValidateHealth's W006 loop (src/verify.cts) destructured only
roadmapPhases from buildRoadmapPhaseVariants, not sentinelPhases —
unlike cmdValidateConsistency, which already skips sentinelPhases with
the identical guard a few hundred lines up. A heading-only bracket
icebox/pre-milestone entry ([GSD.999] / [GSD.00]) therefore gained a
false W006 "no directory on disk" from validate health while validate
consistency correctly stayed silent on the very same ROADMAP — the two
validators contradicting each other.

Threads sentinelPhases through and skips it before the existsOnDisk
check, mirroring the consistency guard exactly. Gated the same way
sentinelPhases already is (empty unless phase_id_convention is
'bracket'), so a legacy repo's W006 reading — including its own
pre-existing wart where a legacy `### Phase 999:` still warns on both
verbs — is untouched; confirmed by the existing "INHERITED WART,
unchanged" test staying green.

Adds the paired-agreement regression test (#612 PR-2 B2 describe block
in tests/adr-612-bracket-read-tolerance.test.cjs): a sentinel-only
bracket roadmap must produce no missing-directory warning from EITHER
validator, plus a CONTROL proving a real phase with no directory still
warns on both. Confirmed red (health false-W006) against the pre-fix
code before applying the fix.

Corrects the .changeset/2761-bracket-read-tolerance.md fragment, which
described the asymmetry as already closed and in the wrong direction
(it credited validate health with already staying silent, when health
was the one falsely warning).

* test(#2761): pin mixed-shape preamble cutoff and boundary heading levels

Closes two self-flagged coverage gaps in the B1 fix (commit 08d5b0c4)
ahead of adversarial review. No src change — all three new tests are
green against the code as committed.

1. earliest-of-either preambleCutoff comparison: only exercised where
   the version/emoji match and the bracket match happen to land on the
   same heading. Adds the mid-migration mixed shape (version-bearing
   PRIOR + version-less CURRENT) and asserts scoping outcomes (accepts
   booleans + total_phases), not internals.

2. `h.level <= 2` conjunct in computeSectionEnd: provably redundant
   whenever the selected milestone heading is level 2 (every existing
   fixture), since `h.level > level` alone already implies it there —
   a mutant deleting the conjunct would have survived every prior test
   in this file. Adds a level-3 CURRENT-heading fixture (with a real
   PRIOR milestone so the preamble side-channel can't independently
   rescue the truncated phases) that makes the conjunct's deletion
   test-visible, confirmed by hand-mutating a throwaway copy of the
   compiled output (never touching tracked src or the real build) and
   observing the assertion flip. Also pins a level-1 companion case
   (#{1,2} tolerance, not just level 2).

NOT included here: the other mixed-shape direction (version-less PRIOR
+ version-bearing CURRENT) turned out to be a genuine, currently-unfixed
gap — reported separately rather than silently patched or weakened, per
instruction not to touch src while a probe run is in flight.

* fix(#2761): engage bracket boundaries when the current milestone heading is version-bearing (B3, self-caught)

Found during round-2 self-verification of B1 (commit 08d5b0c4), while
closing the mixed-heading-shape coverage gaps flagged in my own review
notes. The B1 fix resolved `bracketScopeConvention` only inside the
`if (headingMatches.length === 0)` gate that also drives SELECTION's
own bracket fallback (which heading counts as "current"). That gate is
correct for selection, but `bracketScopeConvention` also feeds
computeSectionEnd's and preambleCutoff's boundary detection further
down — which accidentally inherited selection's gate instead of having
its own.

Trigger shape: the CURRENT milestone heading is itself version-bearing
(`## [GSD.02] v2.0: Current Milestone`), so the primary version-string
match succeeds immediately — headingMatches.length !== 0 from the very
first check — and the entire bracket-resolution branch was skipped. A
sibling milestone (PRIOR or LATER) that is version-less then got
neither the version/emoji boundary rule (it has none) nor the bracket
boundary rule (never resolved), reproducing the original #612 defect
(total_phases falling back to the whole-disk count) through a
structural shape B1's own fixtures never exercised — every one of them
is uniformly version-bearing or uniformly version-less across all
three milestones, never mixed with CURRENT specifically being the
version-bearing one.

Fix: resolve `bracketScopeConvention` unconditionally, decoupled from
`headingMatches.length`. SELECTION is deliberately left untouched — the
`if (headingMatches.length === 0 && bracketScopeConvention === 'bracket')`
fallback that picks which heading is "current" keeps its original gate
byte-for-byte (confirmed by diff: that line is unmodified). Only the
convention *resolution* moved out from behind it, so boundary detection
can consult it regardless of which branch selected the heading. The
extra `resolvePhaseIdConvention` call this now costs on every
invocation (previously paid only when the version match found nothing)
is the accepted cost: a non-bracket repo still resolves to something
other than 'bracket' (or null on a poisoned env, caught exactly as
before), so `bracketMilestoneHeadingRe` stays null and every downstream
branch is byte-identical to today — confirmed by the full adr-612 +
roadmap-parser + state + verify + health-validation suite staying green
(1260/1260) and the all-version-bearing/legacy fixtures showing no
behavior change.

TDD: tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs describe block
"#612 PR-2 B3: bracket boundaries engage even when CURRENT is
version-bearing but a sibling is not" — 4 tests, confirmed red against
pre-fix code (leak-in booleans true/true, total_phases 4) before this
change, green after.

* fix(#2761): reject same-milestone continuation headings as boundaries (B1)

Gate-2 adversarial review Blocker 1: the B1/B3 boundary fired on ANY
as the one currently selected — a version-less checklist/detail split
(`## [GSD.02] Foundation (Phase Details)`, or an ad-hoc continuation
heading) truncated the current milestone's own section instead of
being recognised as a continuation of it. The `(Phase Details)`
re-append only searches VERSION-STRING matches, so a version-less
continuation heading was cut out and never re-appended — a confidently
wrong, non-degraded phase count for a still-incomplete milestone
(repro8 case 1: 1/1/100 instead of 2/1/50; repro5: same, on a fully
version-less roadmap with no sibling milestones at all).

Introduces one shared helper, isBracketMilestoneBoundary(headingText,
level, selectedBracketId), used by both computeSectionEnd and the
preambleCutoff bracket scan, replacing the ungated `h.level <= 2 &&
bracketMilestoneHeadingRe.test(...)` inline check. `selectedBracketId`
(case-folded via phase-id.cts's foldBracketId, matching the branch's
own fold-before-identity convention) is derived from `selected[0]`,
which is the full matched heading line on BOTH selection paths
(version-string and bracket-fallback), so one extraction covers both.

Level cap stays at `level > 2` for now (temporary — ADR-612's content
discriminator replaces it in the next commit); same-milestone rejection
is the change this commit is scoped to.

DEVIATION from the reviewed plan, caught empirically: applying the
same-milestone rejection at the preambleCutoff site (as literally
specified) regressed an existing pin ("boundary heading level: a
level-1 CURRENT milestone heading also scopes correctly") and a
fenced-heading case (repro10 A3) — because preambleCutoff's job is
"where does the earliest milestone-shaped heading sit, scanning from
the TOP of the document," and the selected heading's own occurrence is
always a correct answer to that question regardless of same-id-ness;
rejecting it let the earliest-of-either comparison fall through to a
stray LATER heading instead. `selectedBracketId` is threaded through as
`null` at the preambleCutoff call site for this reason — bracket-shaped
(and, from the next commit, phase-tail) discrimination still applies
uniformly at both sites; only the same-milestone component is
call-site-specific, since it encodes a "keep scanning past this
heading" instruction with no counterpart in a top-of-document search.

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 B1 round-2: a same-milestone
continuation heading is not a boundary" — RED-turned-GREEN fixtures for
repro8 case 1 and repro5, plus PINs for repro8 case 3 (trailing
different-id icebox still terminates) and repro10 A1 (all-version-
bearing + icebox + Phase Details stays exactly 2/1/50 — no double-count
from the same-milestone exclusion interacting with the pre-existing
detailsMatch re-append). syncedTotal()/syncedPercent() assertions
omitted from the repro10 A1 pin: that fixture carries dirs outside the
current milestone, which exposes the SEPARATE Major 1 defect
(cmdStateSync's body percent from an unfiltered disk scan) — asserted
once Major 1 is fixed, not here.

Full suite green (796/796 across the targeted adr-612 + roadmap-parser
+ state files); node scripts/lint-phase-id-drift.cjs clean; eslint

* fix(#2761): bracket boundary discriminates by content, not heading level (B2)

Gate-2 adversarial review Blocker 2: three sites disagreed about which
heading levels are a bracket milestone. The selector
(roadmap-parser.cts's bracket-fallback SELECTION branch,
`^#{1,3}\s+\[CODE.MM\]`) and `isMilestoneBounded` (state.cts) both
admit level 1-3, but isBracketMilestoneBoundary's level cap only
admitted level 1-2 (`h.level <= 2`, from the B1 commit). A `###`-level
bracket milestone heading was therefore SELECTED and BOUNDED but never
TERMINATED: computeSectionEnd ran with level=3, a level-3 SIBLING
milestone survived the pre-existing `h.level > level` (not-deeper)
filter, failed the version/emoji test (version-less), then failed
`h.level <= 2` — falling through to `return content.length` and
sweeping the sibling milestone's own phases into the current one.
Reproduces trek-e's original #612 defect verbatim ("a safe degrade
became a confidently-wrong persisted number") on a heading level the
selector and bounding predicate both already admit (repro2 case C:
4/75% instead of 2/100%; mechanism confirmed directly via repro7 —
extractCurrentMilestone returned the whole 214-byte document).

ADR-612 Decision 1 (docs/adr/612-bracket-phase-id-convention.md:56)
specifies the discriminator as CONTENT, not level: "a phase heading is
a bracket followed by a digit-then-colon ([GSD.02] 05:); a milestone
heading is a bracket followed by a name." Replaces the `level > 2`
rejection with BRACKET_PHASE_TAIL_RE — built by interpolating
phase-id.cts's single-owner phaseHeadingPrefixSrcFor(ANY_BRACKET,
'bracket', false) plus the digit + optional-tag + colon tail every
phase-heading counter in this file already spells, not a re-typed
grammar — and widens the level check to a depth-sanity cap of 3
(mirroring the selector's own `#{1,3}` ceiling; NOT itself a
phase/milestone discriminator). Covers the dotted sub-phase heading
form (`[GSD.02] 05.03:`) via the same `[\w][\w.-]*` token, pinned by a
new fixture — the shape where a regex slip in the tail grammar would
hide.

preambleCutoff's own raw-scan regex is widened from `^(#{1,2})` to
`^(#{1,3})` in lockstep: the outer pattern's level ceiling must track
the helper's cap, or a level-3 PRIOR milestone heading is invisible to
that scan and its own phase heading leaks into the preamble
un-stripped (a real double-count this widening closes, verified
against repro2 case C directly).

The existing "boundary heading level: a level-3 CURRENT milestone
heading still scopes correctly" pin (3e562f12) now passes via a
DIFFERENT mechanism than before — its own neighbours are version-
bearing, so it previously passed via the version/emoji rule (the level
cap was never actually exercised by that fixture, per the round-2
review's own finding); with the content discriminator, the SAME
fixture's level-3 phase headings are now correctly excluded because
they are phase-tail-shaped, not because they are too deep. A
deliberate mechanism change, confirmed by re-running that test green
after this commit.

Also updates the "every selector call site declares the right
baseline" governance pin (adr-612-bracket-heading-selection.test.cjs):
BRACKET_PHASE_TAIL_RE is a new, legitimate ANY_BRACKET call site in
roadmap-parser.cts (always passing the literal 'bracket' convention,
since its only caller is already gated on bracketBoundaryActive) —
EXPECTED count bumped 1->2, with a matching BASE_SITES transcription
entry (identical src to every other ANY_BRACKET site, since the
function is pure).

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 B2 round-2: the bracket boundary
is a CONTENT discriminator, not a level cap" — RED-turned-GREEN for
repro2 case C (exact total AND truthful percent, since
isMilestoneBounded already returns true at #{1,3}) and repro7's
mechanism, a PIN for the dotted sub-phase form, and a re-pin of repro8
case 3 (icebox) under the new mechanism.

Full suite green (907/907 across the targeted adr-612 + roadmap-parser
+ state + phase-id files); node scripts/lint-phase-id-drift.cjs clean;
eslint clean on all changed files.

* fix(#2761): fence-aware preamble cutoff on the bracket branch (Blocker 3)

Gate-2 adversarial review Blocker 3: preambleCutoff's bracket scan used
a raw content.match/matchAll — blind to fenced code blocks — while its
sibling computeSectionEnd (a few lines above it) already consumed
tokenizeHeadings(content), which strips fences. The two halves of one
boundary semantic disagreed about what a heading is.

A fenced markdown example in the preamble containing a bracket heading
(ADR-612's own docs do exactly this) was textually the earliest
`#{1,3} [CODE.MM]` match: preambleCutoff landed INSIDE the fence,
`preamble = content.slice(0, preambleCutoff)` ended with an unclosed
opener, and the unbalanced fence then blinded
getMilestonePhaseFilter's own tokenizeHeadings(scope) call — every
heading in the returned scope vanished, phaseCount degraded to 0, and
the pass-all filter admitted every directory on disk (repro11's
mechanism, confirmed directly: fence count 1/odd, tokenizeHeadings(scope)
-> only "Roadmap"). Regression vs round-1, which had no bracket pattern
to blind and so fell back to the correct heading (repro12 bracket row:
2/1/50 at round-1, 4/3/75 at HEAD).

Fixed by hoisting one tokenizeHeadings(content) call
(currentMilestoneHeadings) shared by computeSectionEnd and the
preambleCutoff scan, which now iterates that same fence-aware token
list instead of a raw regex. HeadingToken.text is already hash-stripped
and trimmed, so isBracketMilestoneBoundary needs no `^#{1,3}\s+`
re-derivation at this site (that spelling would not match h.text — a
note the round-2 review called out explicitly, confirmed while
porting). selectedBracketId stays `null` here, unchanged from the B1
commit's same-milestone-exclusion reasoning.

DISCLOSED, not fixed (explicitly out of scope per the round-2 review's
own minimal-fix note): the LEGACY (non-bracket) anyMilestonePattern
raw-match path shares the identical fence-blindness hazard and stays
byte-identical — a bracket repo whose preamble has a fenced
VERSION-BEARING heading still has the legacy raw-match win the
earliest-of-either min() (repro12's LEGACY control: 4/3/75, unchanged
across base/round-1/HEAD/this commit). Pinned here so a future reviewer
files this as a known, pre-existing gap rather than a new regression.

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 Blocker 3 round-2: preambleCutoff
is fence-aware (bracket branch only)" — RED-turned-GREEN for repro12's
bracket row and repro11's mechanism (fence balance + non-degraded
phaseCount + correct per-directory admission), a PIN for repro12's
LEGACY control (the disclosed gap, explicitly unchanged), and a PIN for
repro10 A3 (a fenced heading INSIDE the current section must still not
terminate it).

Full suite green (1072/1072 across the targeted adr-612 + roadmap-
parser + state + phase-id + markdown-sectionizer files); node

* fix(#2761): scope cmdStateSync's disk scan by milestone under bracket (Major 1)

Gate-2 adversarial review Major 1: `state sync` wrote a Progress
PERCENT computed from an UNFILTERED whole-disk scan, beside the
milestone-scoped total_phases/completed_phases it writes into the same
STATE.md via the refreshed frontmatter (syncStateFrontmatter ->
buildStateFrontmatter, which has always applied getMilestonePhaseFilter
for the READ path). cmdStateSync's own `fs.readdirSync` chain (the
WRITE-path scan) never called the milestone filter at all, unlike
buildStateFrontmatter's identical-purpose scan. One command therefore
wrote two contradictory numbers into one file: on the ADR-canonical
version-less bracket fixture (4 dirs, 3 complete; asserted milestone =
2 phases, both complete), base wrote total_phases:2/completed_phases:2
(correct, from the READ derivation) alongside body Progress 75% (wrong
— from the unfiltered WRITE derivation; repro3).

Fixed by threading `getMilestonePhaseFilter(cwd)` through the same
`.filter()` chain buildStateFrontmatter already applies, gated on
`syncConvention === 'bracket'` (falling back to a pass-all predicate
otherwise) — so totalDiskPlans/totalDiskSummaries/diskCompletedPhases/
syncTotalPhases become milestone-scoped under bracket, byte-identical
under legacy.

DEVIATION (approved, stated plainly): an earlier phrasing of this fix
called for mirroring buildStateFrontmatter's filter UNCONDITIONALLY.
Implemented GATED instead — an unconditional filter would ALSO move
every LEGACY repo's persisted percent, since the milestone-scoping-vs-
whole-disk divergence this closes is engine-wide, not bracket-specific.
The gate keeps legacy byte-identical, which is the binding constraint:
this is a bracket read-path PR, not a legacy behavior change.

Nit 2 (informational, no code change): 10 calls to
extractCurrentMilestone on a legacy repo cost 10 config.json
existsSync + 10 readFileSync (0 before B3); accepted, unmemoized cost,
unaffected by this commit.

Also folds in two minors from the round-2 review:
- Corrects .changeset/2761-bracket-read-tolerance.md: the sibling-
  exclusion sentence now states it holds at any heading level 1-3 and
  across a milestone split over two headings (true again now that
  Blockers 1 and 2 are fixed); the percent sentence states plainly that
  `state sync`'s body percent is now milestone-scoped under bracket,
  and unaffected under legacy.
- Records the read/write scoping divergence at currentMilestoneRawRanges
  (src/roadmap-parser.cts) in a comment: it did not receive B1/B2's
  bracket boundary fixes, currently harmless (its only consumer falls
  back to whole-content mutation, and every mutation there is still
  Phase-labelled-only, not bracket-widened), but live the moment the
  write path is bracket-widened — flagged so a future PR closes it in
  lockstep with that work, not after.

Tests: 6 pre-existing tests in tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs
needed fixture updates, not logic changes — they used the default
single directory (`GSD.02-01-setup`, phase "01"), which the SENTINEL/
retirement/mixed-heading fixtures in those tests never declare as a
real phase (only 04/05/06/999/etc are declared). Before this fix,
cmdStateSync's unfiltered scan counted that off-roadmap directory
anyway; after this fix the milestone filter correctly excludes it,
which for several of these fixtures made `state sync` a no-op (the
computed 0% coincided with STATE.md's initial template default) and
broke `syncedTotal()`/`syncedPercent()`'s ability to observe anything.
Updated each to pass an EXPLICIT directory naming one of the fixture's
REAL declared phases, preserving each test's original numerator/
denominator intent. One test — "shape 2 WRITE" — was substantively
rewritten: it was a CHARACTERIZATION of the Major 1 bug itself ("the
DISCLOSED legacy gap, mirrored — not closed"), and now correctly pins
bracket closing to 33% (agrees with the read path) while legacy stays
at the disclosed 60% (unchanged, deliberately, per the gating decision
above).

Full suite green: `npm test` 1449/1449 (0 fail, 0 skipped, 0 todo,
single-shard "all" run — includes issue-2765-brace-expansion-lockfile
passing); `npm run lint:ci` clean (0 errors; 2 pre-existing timing-
assertion warnings in files this PR does not touch); node

* fix(#2761): preambleCutoff identity is offset- and child-aware (round-3 Blocker 1)

Gate-2 round-3 re-verify Blocker 1 (NEW): the round-2 B1 deviation
(39c42a89) threaded `selectedBracketId` as the real value at
computeSectionEnd but as bare `null` at the preambleCutoff scan. The
deviation's rationale — "the selected heading's own occurrence is
always a correct earliest answer" — was right, but `null` disables the
same-milestone check for EVERY candidate, not just the selected one.
Any bracket-shaped heading earlier than the selected milestone was
accepted as a boundary regardless of identity: a same-id checklist/
overview heading preceding the version-bearing selected heading (cases
A, B — the version lands on the LATER half of a split, or a plain
overview heading with no "(Phase Details)" spelling), or a DIFFERENT-id
bracket-shaped PROSE heading with no children of its own sitting above
the current milestone's content (case D — `## [ADR.612] Heading
convention used by this roadmap`). In every case the region between
that false boundary and the real sectionStart was silently dropped —
a completed phase vanished and `state sync` persisted a confident 0%
where base and round-1 both correctly wrote 50%. Regression vs base
AND round-1 (not merely "under-fixed", per the round-3 review's own
severity note).

Fixed with two changes, both scoped to the preambleCutoff scan only
(computeSectionEnd already threads the real `selectedBracketId` and is
untouched):

(a) `h.offset === sectionStart` now bypasses BOTH the same-milestone
    check inside isBracketMilestoneBoundary (passing the REAL
    `selectedBracketId` for every other candidate) and the new child
    rule below — the selected heading's own position is definitionally
    the correct answer, so neither discriminator should run against it
    (rejecting it would mean rejecting the heading against ITSELF).
    Closes cases A and B — verified by the reviewer's own one-liner,
    reproduced here.

(b) New `bracketHeadingHasMatchingChild`: an otherwise-accepted
    candidate (bracket-shaped, not phase-tail-shaped, not the same id
    as the selected milestone) must ALSO have a next-strictly-deeper
    heading carrying its OWN bracket id to count as a boundary. This is
    what a genuine sibling milestone has (its own phase children share
    its bracket id — `## [GSD.01] Setup` / `### [GSD.01] 01: …`) and an
    unrelated bracket-shaped prose heading does not. A candidate with
    no such child at all (childless — e.g. an empty prior milestone, or
    one immediately followed by a same-or-shallower heading) degrades
    to NOT a boundary — over-inclusive, the safe direction: its own
    heading text stays in the preamble, contributing nothing to any
    phase count (not phase-shaped). Closes case D, which (a) alone does
    not — verified: without this rule, `[ADR.612]`'s prose heading is
    indistinguishable from a genuine prior sibling at this site.

As a side effect, also neutralizes Nit 2 (a colon-less `[GSD.02] 05`
heading spuriously terminating the preamble): a colon-less bracket
heading is not phase-tail-shaped so isBracketMilestoneBoundary alone
would accept it, but it is — precisely because it is malformed/
incomplete rather than a real milestone — childless, so the child rule
rejects it too. Pinned.

Known interaction with the fence-blind SELECTION path (disclosed by
the reviewer, not introduced here, tracked for the next commit): when
`sectionPattern` selects a FENCED version-bearing heading (an
extremely pathological shape — a fenced example whose text happens to
match STATE's asserted version), no token exists at `sectionStart`, so
the `h.offset === sectionStart` bypass never fires and the loop falls
through to the ordinary same-id / child-rule checks. This composes
with the round-3 Major 1 fix (next commit) rather than introducing a
new defect — SELECTION itself is untouched by any of this — but is
worth stating plainly rather than rediscovering.

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 Blocker 1 round-3: preambleCutoff
identity is offset- and child-aware" — RED-turned-GREEN for cases A, B
(rv-attack1) and D (rv-attack1b) with syncedTotal()/syncedPercent()
assertions (the persisted 0% is the point), a PIN for a genuine prior
sibling with real children (still excluded), a PIN for a childless
prior sibling (degrades to not-cutting, over-inclusive/safe), a PIN
for the colon-less Nit 2 shape, and the reviewer's rv-mech1 mechanism
re-run as a proper test (scope now equals the full input document,
phaseCount 2, both dirs accepted).

* fix(#2761): fence-aware version/emoji half of preambleCutoff on the bracket branch (round-3 Major 1)

Gate-2 round-3 re-verify Major 1 (NEW): ff6bf0a8 (round-2 Blocker 3)
made the BRACKET half of preambleCutoff's "earliest milestone-shaped
heading" search fence-aware, but left the VERSION/emoji half a raw
`content.match` even on the bracket branch. A fenced VERSION-BEARING
example heading in a bracket repo's preamble (ADR-612's own docs
illustrate the LEGACY heading shape exactly this way, inside a fenced
authoring-guide block) was still textually the earliest match for that
raw regex, winning the min() and un-suppressing a wrong persisted 75%
that base correctly suppressed (rv-attack3c fixture C1: base
suppressed the percent entirely — `isMilestoneBounded` false — HEAD
wrote 75% where truth is 50%).

Fixed by deriving the version/emoji half from the SAME fence-aware
`currentMilestoneHeadings` token list as the bracket half, on the
bracket branch only — the exact `/^Phase\s+\S/i` / `/v\d+\.\d+|✅|📋|🚧/i`
pair `computeSectionEnd` already uses against `h.text`. The non-bracket
(legacy) path is untouched: it keeps the raw `content.match`, byte-
identical to before, including its own fence-blindness (repro12's
LEGACY control, pinned unchanged in the round-2 Blocker-3 test block —
not re-pinned here to avoid duplicating an already-covered assertion).

Not rated Blocker (per the review) because it is not a regression vs
round-1 and the fixture (a version-BEARING fenced example in a bracket
repo) is rarer than the already-fixed bracket-heading case; still
fixed now rather than disclosed, per this arc's own precedent (every
prior "disclose instead of fix" call in this PR has been overturned on
re-review).

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 Major 1 round-3: preambleCutoff's
version/emoji half is fence-aware on the bracket branch" — RED-turned-
GREEN for case C1 (readTotal + syncedPercent, so the persisted 75% is

* chore(#2761): correct changeset claims + mark runtime-gated BASE_SITES row (round-3 minors)

Gate-2 round-3 re-verify Minor 2: three changeset sentences in
.changeset/2761-bracket-read-tolerance.md were overstated in a new
direction after round-2:

- The split-milestone claim ("across a milestone split over two
  headings") was true only when the version-bearing heading came
  FIRST (repro8 case 1); false when it came LATER (round-3 Blocker 1
  case A). Now restated to say plainly "with the version-bearing
  heading in EITHER position" — true again now that round-3's Blocker
  1 fix lands earlier in this range.
- The "counted from the phases... rather than from every directory on
  disk" claim was false on cases A/B/D (a strict subset of the
  milestone's own phases). Restated as "ALL of the phases... not a
  subset", and extended to state that an unrelated bracket-shaped
  heading with no phase children of its own (case D's `[ADR.612]`
  shape) does not truncate the milestone either — true now, not before.
- "Each widened read is SELECTED by the project's phase_id_convention"
  was literally false for BRACKET_PHASE_TAIL_RE, which is RUNTIME-gated
  (via its only caller, isBracketMilestoneBoundary, itself only
  consulted when bracketBoundaryActive) rather than selector-gated.
  Restated behaviourally: "every widened read ENGAGES only when the
  project's resolved phase_id_convention is bracket" — true for both
  gating mechanisms, so it no longer implies a selector call this site
  does not make.

Minor 1: the STRUCTURAL IDENTITY test's BASE_SITES row for
BRACKET_PHASE_TAIL_RE (added in the B2 commit) asserts a property of
`phaseHeadingPrefixSrcFor` — the function — not of the call site; it
would pass unchanged even if the site were deleted. Safety at that
specific site rests entirely on a runtime gate the test cannot see.
Added `runtimeGated: true` to the row and threaded it into the
generated test's own title (`… [runtime-gated, not selector-covered]`),
so the gating mechanism is visible in test OUTPUT, not only in a source
comment that could drift silently.

No production code changed. Targeted suite green (48/48 in the
affected file); `node scripts/changeset/lint.cjs` ok; eslint clean.

* fix(#2761): harden round-3 preamble cutoff — subtree child scan + level cap

Team-lead review of f87bba0e found two edges in the round-3 preamble-
cutoff code, both hardened here.

AMENDMENT 1 — bracketHeadingHasMatchingChild (2e06aef5) checked only
`headings[index + 1]`, the IMMEDIATE next heading, not the candidate's
whole subtree. A genuine prior sibling milestone whose section opens
with a non-bracket subsection before its first phase heading
(`## [GSD.01] Setup` / `### Notes` / `### [GSD.01] 01: Old`) was
therefore wrongly rejected as a boundary — its real phase heading sits
TWO headings deep, not one — leaking its entire section into the
preamble unstripped.

CONFIRMED RED, not merely theoretical (built and ran the fixture
against f87bba0e before touching the fix, per instruction): scope
membership DOES drive the disk-side filter on this shape.
`GSD.01-01-old`'s directory was wrongly admitted into the CURRENT
milestone's filter via the leaked heading's qualified key
(`GSD.01-01`) — 3/2/67% where truth is 2/1/50%.

Fixed by scanning the candidate's full SUBTREE: continue past a
non-matching deeper heading instead of returning false on the first
one; only a same-or-shallower heading actually closes the subtree and
yields "no match found". A candidate whose entire subtree closes with
no same-id hit (including a genuinely childless one) still degrades to
`false` — over-inclusive, safe, unchanged from before.

AMENDMENT 2 — c483552a ported the version/emoji half of preambleCutoff
to the token-based scan with no level cap; the raw
`content.match(anyMilestonePattern)` it replaced was anchored
`^#{1,3}\s+`. A level-4+ version-bearing heading in the preamble
(`#### v2.0 notes`) therefore won the scan on the bracket branch where
the raw pattern — and the legacy path, unaffected — ignores it
outright. Fixed with `if (h.level > 3) continue;`, mirroring the
depth-sanity cap isBracketMilestoneBoundary already applies to the
bracket half of this same scan.

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 round-3 hardening: subtree child
scan + level cap on preambleCutoff" —
- RED-turned-GREEN for the Notes-intervening fixture: exact 2/1/50 (was
  3/2/67), plus the disk-filter observable (`GSD.01-01-old` now
  correctly excluded).
- PIN for the level-4 preamble heading: the scope now PRESERVES the
  heading's text (was silently dropped before this fix — harmless in
  this minimal fixture's total_phases specifically, since the dropped
  text carries no phase-shaped content, but a real correctness gap
  against the raw pattern's own ceiling) — asserted via scope content,
  not total_phases, since that number is invariant here either way.
- PIN for the LEGACY control on the same level-4 shape — unchanged,
  confirming the raw content.match path is untouched.

Re-verified the existing genuine-prior-sibling and childless-sibling
pins (round-3 Blocker 1 commit) still pass under the subtree scan —
both fixtures' outcomes are unchanged since their same-id hit (or its
absence) was already at the first deeper heading.

* fix(#2761): bracketHeadingHasMatchingChild requires a same-id PHASE child (round-4 Blocker 1)

Gate-2 round-4 re-verify Blocker 1 (NEW): the round-3 hardening's
subtree scan (fbfd0fca) proved SAME-ID-NESS but never asked whether
the matching child was PHASE-shaped. Case F1 re-opens round-3's case D
one heading later: `## [ADR.612] Heading convention` is followed by
its OWN sub-heading `### [ADR.612] Examples` — same bracket id as the
candidate, but MILESTONE-shaped (a name, no digit-then-colon), not a
phase. Same-id-ness alone satisfied the subtree scan and re-cut the
preamble at exactly the shape the round-3 hardening was written to
close.

Failing input: `## [ADR.612] Heading convention` / `### [ADR.612]
Examples` (prose) / `### [GSD.02] 01: One` (the current milestone's
own first phase, now unreachable) / `## [GSD.02] v2.0: Foundation` /
`### [GSD.02] 02: Two`. Truth 2/1/50. HEAD read 1/0/0, and `state sync`
reported "nothing to do" (exit 0, `{synced:true,changes:[]}`) because
its wrong 0% happened to equal the STATE.md seed — a half-done
milestone read as untouched with no write-path signal at all.

Fixed with the reviewer's one-conjunct addition: a same-id child only
counts if it is ALSO phase-tail-shaped (`BRACKET_PHASE_TAIL_RE`) — the
same single-owner discriminator `isBracketMilestoneBoundary` already
uses one level up for the identical distinction (phase vs milestone),
reused here rather than re-derived. This is exactly what the
changeset's own wording already claimed ("no phase children of its
own") — the code now matches the sentence rather than the other way
around.

Docstring updated at the function itself: the rule is "same-id PHASE
child", not "same-id child".

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 round-4 Blocker 1: the same-id
child must be PHASE-shaped" — RED-turned-GREEN for F1 with
syncedTotal()/syncedPercent() (the persisted 0% — and the
report-nothing-to-do write-path silence — is the point), PINs for F11
(colon-less same-id child) and F11b (bullet-only phase list): both
correctly stay excluded either way, and the leak the phase-shape
requirement newly creates for these two shapes is INERT — a colon-less
heading forms no qualified key (getMilestonePhaseFilter's own
phase-heading pattern requires the colon too) and a bracket bullet
never matches the legacy-only BULLET_PHASE_LINE_PATTERN — confirmed
directly via getMilestonePhaseFilter, not merely inferred. Re-verified
the four existing child-rule pins (F2 subtree-closure, F3 deep-nested
same-id, F4 level-4 same-id, F5 childless-at-EOF) are unaffected by the
phase-shape requirement, since every one of them already used a
colon-bearing same-id child.

Targeted suite green: `node --test tests/adr-612-*.test.cjs

corpus except F1 itself (F9/F10/F12 remain red, deferred to the
separate Major 1 fix). node scripts/lint-phase-id-drift.cjs clean;

* fix(#2761): fence-aware phase counting, milestone bounding, and bracket-fallback selection (round-4 Major 1)

Gate-2 round-4 re-verify Major 1 (NEW): roadmapPhaseCount is a
fence-blind raw `.exec()` over the scope string, duplicated in TWO
independent copies (buildStateFrontmatter's read path, cmdStateSync's
write path). With the bracket alternative now compiled into it (#612),
a fenced EXAMPLE phase heading in the preamble inflates total_phases
and persists a wrong percent that base got right. Two further
fence-blind sites participate: isMilestoneBounded (a raw
`.test(roadmapRaw)`) and the bracket-fallback SELECTOR inside
extractCurrentMilestone (a raw `content.matchAll`, only reachable when
version-string selection finds nothing).

Failing inputs:
- F10 (clean isolate, version-bearing selection): a fenced
  `### [GSD.02] 05: Example phase` in the preamble inflates
  total_phases 2->3, persisting 33% where truth is 50%. LEGACY control
  on the same shape is correct on every build — not a pre-existing
  hazard being inherited, bracket-only.
- F9 (version-less selection): a fenced example carrying the project's
  OWN milestone id additionally confuses the bracket-fallback selector
  (the fenced heading gets SELECTED), compounding with the same
  fence-blind counter. base suppressed the percent; round-1 and HEAD
  both wrote 33%.
- F12 (isMilestoneBounded isolate): the ONLY `[GSD.02]` heading in the
  document is inside a fence, and the asserted milestone genuinely has
  no section at all — HEAD persisted 67% where base correctly
  suppressed the percent (the milestone is absent from the roadmap).

Fixed at the CONSUMER level, not the producer — extractCurrentMilestone's
returned scope string is deliberately UNCHANGED, since every other
consumer of that string needs its full content fidelity and legacy
identity forbids touching the shared string (this branch's own
precedent, ff6bf0a8/c483552a, was producer-level; here the ruling is
consumer-level because the string is shared far more broadly than the
two round-3 fixes' narrower producer edits):

(a) New `countRoadmapPhaseHeadings` (src/state.cts, immediately above
    extractRetiredPhaseNumbers) — ONE shared implementation for both
    call sites, replacing two independently-maintained copies. BRACKET
    convention counts via `tokenizeHeadings(scope)` at levels 2-4,
    testing each heading's hash-stripped text directly — fence-aware by
    construction, since tokenizeHeadings never produces a token for a
    fenced line. LEGACY convention keeps the exact pre-existing raw
    `.exec()` loop, byte-for-byte. A pre-existing, deliberately
    PRESERVED asymmetry between the two original call sites — the read
    path always excluded a bare `/^999\b/` token, the write path never
    did — is threaded through as an explicit
    `includeUnconditional999Check` parameter per call site, so sharing
    the implementation does not silently unify (and thereby move)
    either total.
(b) isMilestoneBounded's bracket branch now scans
    `tokenizeHeadings(roadmapRaw)` for a matching heading (level <= 3)
    instead of a raw regex test. Legacy version-string branch untouched.
(c) The bracket-fallback SELECTOR now builds its candidate set from
    `tokenizeHeadings(content)` instead of `content.matchAll`,
    reconstructing a match-shaped array so every downstream consumer of
    `headingMatches` sees the identical shape the raw-regex path always
    produced. This is the ONE site in this entire arc where SELECTION
    itself changes — selection SEMANTICS are otherwise unchanged (same
    pattern, same first-match-wins by document order); only the
    candidate set is now fence-aware. Pinned that unfenced selection is
    byte-identical.

Zero drift measured across the full historical corpus (repro2-13,
rv-attack1/1b/3c, rv-mech1, rv2-amend1/2, and F1-F11b) except the three
target fixtures.

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 round-4 Major 1: four fence-blind
sites on the bracket path" — RED-turned-GREEN for F10 (with
syncedTotal()/syncedPercent()) and F9 (both layers), PINs for F10's
LEGACY control and F10c (non-phase-shaped fence, unaffected either
way), RED-turned-GREEN for F12 (asserts the percent KEY is absent from
`state json`'s output and that `state sync`'s body stays at its
unmodified seed — the persisted-suppression signal, not merely a
total_phases number), and an explicit PIN that unfenced bracket-fallback
selection (first real milestone-shaped heading wins, no fences
involved) is unaffected.

* chore(#2761): correct docstring overstatement + stale consumer-count sentence (round-4 minors)

Gate-2 round-4 re-verify Minor 1 + Nit 1. No production code changed.

Minor 1: bracketHeadingHasMatchingChild's own docstring said a
rejected (no-same-id-PHASE-child) candidate's degrade "contributes
nothing to any phase count" — true of the candidate's OWN heading
text, but not of its SUBTREE, which is what actually stays in the
preamble. F7 (`## [GSD.01] Setup` / `### [GSD.07] 01: Foreign`) shows
a DIFFERENT-id bracket PHASE heading inside a rejected candidate's
subtree DOES form a qualified key and CAN admit a foreign directory —
3/2/67%, stable across base, round-1 and HEAD (base via its own
pass-all degrade). Not a regression, still the declared over-inclusive
/ never-under-inclusive safe direction — the comment now says that,
with F7's numbers cited, at the call site that actually decides
`isBoundary` (roadmap-parser.cts's preambleCutoff loop) rather than
only at the helper's own definition.

Minor 2 (changeset) — VERIFIED, no wording change needed: re-ran F1,
F9, F10, F12 at this HEAD. The "no phase children of its own... does
not truncate it either" sentence (naming the `[ADR.612]` shape
directly) is now literally true — F1 reads 2/1/50. The "counted from
ALL of the phases... not a subset" sentence is now true on every
measured shape — F1/F9/F10 all read 2/1/50, F12 correctly suppresses
the percent. No carve-out for F9/F10 is needed since round-4 Major 1
(3be5c412) closes both; per the fix-round instruction to "only carve
out anything genuinely left," nothing is.

Nit 1: tests/adr-612-bracket-heading-selection.test.cjs's runtimeGated
row claimed `BRACKET_HEADING_INTRO_RE` has "no other consumers" — true
when round-3's f87bba0e wrote it, stale since 2e06aef5 (round-3's own
earlier commit) had already added two more uses inside
bracketHeadingHasMatchingChild. Corrected to state the true count
(three consumers) and re-confirm the conclusion is unaffected: all
three are still nested inside the same bracketBoundaryActive runtime
gate, and BRACKET_HEADING_INTRO_RE is built from BRACKET_ID_SRC, not
phaseHeadingPrefixSrcFor, so it was never a selector site regardless of
consumer count.

Targeted suite green: `node --test tests/adr-612-*.test.cjs

* fix(#2761): restore the bracketId guard in countRoadmapPhaseHeadings (round-5 Blocker 1)

Gate-2 round-5 re-verify Blocker 1 (NEW, introduced by 3be5c412): the
merge that created the shared countRoadmapPhaseHeadings helper dropped
the `bracketId && ` guard both original inline loops carried before
calling isSentinelPhaseId. Every other isSentinelPhaseId call site in
src/ (roadmap-parser.cts, roadmap.cts, validate.cts x2, verify.cts)
keeps the guard; state.cts's shared counter was the only one of seven
without it.

When the phase-heading-intro grammar's LEGACY alternative matches (a
`### Phase 00:` heading in a `phase_id_convention: "bracket"` repo —
the mid-migration shape this PR exists for), the bracket capture group
is `undefined`, so the unguarded call became
`isSentinelPhaseId("undefined-00", 'bracket')` — measured TRUE, so
phase 00 (and 000, 0a, 0.5, 999.1 — any token whose splice with the
literal string "undefined" happens to fall in a sentinel range) was
silently dropped from the denominator. `getMilestonePhaseFilter` (which
still carries its own guard) counts the phase and admits its directory
regardless, so the filter and the counter disagree — a half-done
milestone reads as 100% complete, persisted.

One-line fix, restoring the guard every sibling call site already has:

    if (bracketId && isSentinelPhaseId(`${bracketId}-${token}`, 'bracket')) continue;

Line count: `git diff --stat src/state.cts` -> 1 file changed, 1
insertion(+), 1 deletion(-).

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 round-5 Blocker 1:

GREEN for G3 (3/2/67, was 2/2/100) and G3d (the mixed bracket+legacy
mid-migration shape, same numbers) with syncedTotal()/syncedPercent(),
PIN for G3's legacy control (unaffected), PIN for G3b (isolates the
counter with no directory to admit), PIN for G3c (legacy 01/02 only,
no sentinel-shaped token present).

* fix(#2761): extractRetiredPhaseNumbers is fence-aware on the bracket path (round-5 Major 1)

Gate-2 round-5 re-verify Major 1 (NEW) — a FIFTH fence-blind site on
the bracket path, missed by 3be5c412's own enumeration of "four".
extractRetiredPhaseNumbers' line scan (`scope.split(/\r?\n/)`) has no
fence awareness. This PR compiles the bracket alternative into
`introSrc` ("the retirement filter has to widen with the counter it
protects" — the function's own pre-existing comment), so a FENCED
authoring EXAMPLE showing the #1514 retirement gesture in bracket
spelling is now indistinguishable from a real one: it retires a
genuine phase, shrinking the denominator and persisting a confident
100% where base correctly read 50%.

Fixed with the SAME consumer-level ruling this arc has used at every
other fence-blind site, reusing markdown-sectionizer's existing
exported `stripFencedCode` rather than hand-rolling a second fence
parser (single-owner rule) — retirement lines are BULLETS, not
headings, so `tokenizeHeadings` doesn't serve here; `stripFencedCode`
is the general-purpose fence stripper the tokenizer itself is built on.
Gated on `convention === 'bracket'`; the LEGACY line scan stays the raw
`scope` string, byte-identical — its own fenced-example hazard is
pre-existing (wrong at base too) and out of scope.

Line count: `git diff --stat src/state.cts` -> 1 file changed, 9
insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) — one import added, four lines inside
the function (a comment + the `scanScope` computation + the changed
`.split()` call).

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 round-5 Major 1:
extractRetiredPhaseNumbers is fence-aware on the bracket path" —
RED-turned-GREEN for G2 (fenced example in the preamble) and G2b (the
same example placed INSIDE the milestone section, ruling out a
preamble-scoping artifact — the site itself was fence-blind wherever
the fence sits), PIN for the LEGACY control (unchanged, pre-existing,
out of scope — base is wrong on this shape too).

Also folds in the "four fence-blind sites" correction: 3be5c412's
commit message and any restatement of it should read FIVE going
forward; this commit's own message states the count correctly.

Targeted suite green: `node --test tests/adr-612-*.test.cjs

* fix(#2761): state sync's counter excludes the bracket 999 icebox token (round-5 Major 2)

Gate-2 round-5 re-verify Major 2 (NEW) — `includeUnconditional999Check`
left `state json` and `state sync` reporting different totals for one
bracket repo. Under bracket, READING-B puts the sentinel in the
bracket, so `isSentinelPhaseId("GSD.02-999", 'bracket')` is false —
the `/^999\b/` TOKEN rule is the only thing excluding a
`### [GSD.02] 999:` icebox heading, and it ran on the read path
(buildStateFrontmatter, `true`) and on getMilestonePhaseFilter
(unconditional), but not on cmdStateSync's own counter (`false`). One
`state sync` call could leave a single STATE.md with its own
frontmatter (percent 50, from the read-path re-sync inside
writeStateMd) and body (percent 33, from the write-path counter that
alone still counted the icebox heading) disagreeing — falsifying this
PR's own stated invariant that sharing countRoadmapPhaseHeadings made
"the two counters must see the same phases" structural.

Functional change is one argument, exactly as specified: the write
call site now passes `syncConvention === 'bracket'` instead of the
literal `false`. `syncConvention === 'bracket'` is `false` for every
non-bracket value, so the LEGACY path resolves to the exact same
`false` it always did — this file's own pre-existing, deliberately-
unchanged read/write divergence on that path is untouched. The READ
site (`:1860`) is NOT touched — its historical behaviour applied
`/^999\b/` to legacy and bracket alike, so changing it would move
legacy READ totals, exactly the class of mistake this arc's own
Blocker 1 (this round) was.

Line count: the functional change is ONE argument
(`false` -> `syncConvention === 'bracket'`); the surrounding comment
was rewritten because the previous one asserted the now-superseded
behaviour ("preserving this file's pre-existing... divergence... a
bare 999 token is not excluded here") and leaving it would mislead the
next reader — not a structural change.

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 round-5 Major 2: state sync
excludes the bracket 999 icebox token like the read path" —
RED-turned-GREEN for G1, asserting `state sync`'s body percent equals
`state json`'s own percent (both 50, not 33 vs 50), PIN for G1's
legacy control (33 vs 50 unchanged, deliberately).

Targeted suite green: `node --test tests/adr-612-*.test.cjs

* chore(#2761): restore indent parity at the two line-start-anchored bracket-heading reconstructions (round-5 Minor 1)

`HeadingToken.offset` (tokenizeHeadings) is the LINE-START character offset,
not necessarily the `#` character's own offset — a ≤3-space-indented ATX
heading has both. Two round-4 reconstructions built on tokenizeHeadings
inherited this gap and accepted indented headings their raw, line-start-
anchored predecessors (`^#{1,3}\s+\[...`) never matched:

  1. roadmap-parser.cts's bracket-fallback SELECTOR (extractCurrentMilestone,
     ~line 377) — an indented, version-less `[GSD.02]` milestone heading
     could be reconstructed into headingMatches, then mis-parsed downstream
     (selectedBracketId null, level fallback to 1), leaking a SIBLING
     milestone's phases into the counted scope (G6: HEAD read 3/2/67 instead
     of 2/1/50 — a real phase heading's own directory belonging to the NEXT
     milestone got counted).

  2. state.cts's isMilestoneBounded (~line 1571) — the same gap let an
     indented-only `[GSD.02]`-shaped heading wrongly bound a milestone
     absent from the roadmap, un-suppressing a percent that should stay
     suppressed (mirrors round-4's F12 fenced-only case, but via indentation
     instead of a fence).

Fix: one added conjunct per site — `content[h.offset] === '#'` (source-named
`roadmapRaw` in state.cts) — filtering to tokens whose LINE-START offset IS
the `#` character, i.e. exactly the set the raw line-start-anchored regex
would ever have matched. Restores byte-for-byte raw parity; no other logic
in either function changes. computeSectionEnd and the preamble version/
emoji-token scan are untouched, as instructed — they consumed tokenizeHeadings
output before this arc and are out of scope here.

Also corrects roadmap-parser.cts's now-provably-false docstring claim that
`h.offset` is unconditionally "the same `#`-character coordinate space
`content.match().index` used" — true only for the survivors of the new
filter, not for every token tokenizeHeadings produces.

Line count: the FUNCTIONAL change is exactly 2 lines (one added `&&` conjunct
per call site — `git diff --stat` on the two source files shows 20
insertions/7 deletions, but only those 2 lines change behavior; the rest is
docstring/comment rationale, per this round's "state the line count" ask).

TDD: both fixtures verified RED at HEAD before this commit, GREEN after,
via /tmp/pr612rev/rv5-attack.cjs G6 and a locally-authored isMilestoneBounded-
isolating probe (G6 alone doesn't distinguish the two sites — its unindented
phase headings already satisfy isMilestoneBounded's loose prefix regex
either way, so a second, indentation-only fixture was needed to prove that
site's fix is not a no-op; verified by temporarily reverting just that one
conjunct, confirming 100%-wrongly-bounded RED, then restoring it, confirming
suppressed-percent GREEN).

New tests (adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs):
  - RED (G6): indented version-less bracket milestone heading — 2/1/50, not
    the pinned-before-fix 3/2/67.
  - PIN (G6c unindented control): identical document, no indent — 2/1/50
    unaffected on every build.
  - RED (isMilestoneBounded site, indented-ONLY): mirrors round-4's F12
    shape (fenced-ONLY → indented-ONLY) — percent stays suppressed instead
    of the pinned-before-fix wrongly-bounded 100%.

Full G1-G10 (rv5-attack.cjs) + G2b/G3c/G3d/G6c (rv5b.cjs) re-verified
zero-drift against TRUTH after this change. Targeted suite (adr-612-*,
roadmap-parser, state, verify): 962 -> 965 (+3), 0 fail.

* chore(#2761): changeset discloses counting-set narrowing + correct stale consumer-count sentence (round-5 minors)

FIX 5 (Minor 2): .changeset/2761-bracket-read-tolerance.md did not disclose
that bracket phase-heading counting is narrower than the raw-regex
predecessor in two ways the review's G4/G5 fixtures surfaced: a level-5
heading (`##### [GSD.02] 05: ...`) is no longer counted (the counter's
tokenizeHeadings scan caps at level 4, matching the selector/isMilestoneBounded
ceiling), and a space-less heading (`###[GSD.02] 05: ...`) is no longer
counted (CommonMark requires ≥1 space/tab after the hashes, which
tokenizeHeadings correctly enforces and the old raw regex did not). Both
G4 and G5 moved from round-1's wrong (inflated) values back to base's
original values as an incidental side effect of routing through
tokenizeHeadings — never a deliberate feature of this PR, and previously
undocumented. One clause added to the existing run-on paragraph; no other
wording in the changeset touched.

FIX 6 (Nit 1): tests/adr-612-bracket-heading-selection.test.cjs:76 —
`BRACKET_PHASE_TAIL_RE` has TWO consumers as of round-4's 65d257ce
(isBracketMilestoneBoundary's own use, plus bracketHeadingHasMatchingChild's
same-id-PHASE-child conjunct), not the "no other consumers" the comment
claimed. Same correction pattern round-4 already applied to this row's
BRACKET_HEADING_INTRO_RE neighbor (that sentence's own staleness was fixed
in 4d7184b8): note the true consumer count, confirm both stay nested inside
the same bracketBoundaryActive runtime gate (verified at
src/roadmap-parser.cts:178 and :250, both reached only through the
`if (bracketBoundaryActive)` block starting at :529), and record which
commit and which fix introduced the drift. Comment-only; no assertion
logic changed.

Line count: 2 files, 8 insertions / 2 deletions total — one added clause
in the changeset (1 line changed) and one comment block replacing the
single stale line in the test file (6 comment lines replacing 1).

Verified: targeted suite (adr-612-*, roadmap-parser, state, verify)
unchanged at 965/965 pass (comment/prose-only diffs, no test count change).
`node scripts/changeset/lint.cjs` and `npx eslint` on the touched files both
clean.

* fix(#2761): restore the bracketId guard on the bracket-only /^0\b/ sibling rule (round-6 Blocker 1)

Round-5's Blocker 1 was `isSentinelPhaseId("undefined-00")` — the merge
that introduced the shared counter dropped the `bracketId &&` guard on the
sentinel check. This is the identical failure one line further down, in the
sibling rule this PR itself added: when the phase-heading grammar's LEGACY
alternative matches (`### Phase 0:` in a `phase_id_convention: "bracket"`
repo — the mid-migration shape this PR exists for), `bracketId` is
`undefined`, and the unguarded `/^0\b/` fires on the bare token anyway.
Neither the LEGACY branch of this same function nor
`getMilestonePhaseFilter` has a `/^0\b/` rule at all, so the filter counts
the phase and admits its completed directory while the counter refuses to
count its heading — a milestone with an unstarted phase 02 persists as a
confident 100%.

`/^0\b/` matches `0` and `0.5` (word boundary before the `.`) but not `00`
(no boundary between the two zeros), which is exactly why round-5's G3/G3d
fixtures (`### Phase 00:`) never tripped this one — same defect class,
different token spelling.

Fix: one word, mirroring the guard round 5 restored two lines above —
`if (/^0\b/.test(token)) continue;` -> `if (bracketId && /^0\b/.test(token)) continue;`.

Expected and intentional side effect: `roadmap analyze` and `state json`
now disagree again on this bracket-repo shape (analyze phase_count=2, json
total_phases=3) — exactly as they already do under the legacy convention
today (verified via /tmp/pr612rev/rv6c.cjs on both conventions). That is
the counter regaining agreement with `getMilestonePhaseFilter` (the tighter
constraint — it is what actually decides `completed_phases`), not a new
break; the counter/filter disagreement is what was wrong.

Out of scope, deliberately NOT fixed here (Minor 1, disclosed via a PIN
test only): the bracket-SPELLED `### [GSD.02] 0:` shape has the same
counter/filter disagreement, but reads 2/2/100 on base too — never closed
by any build in this arc, so it is a pre-existing gap rather than a

* chore(#2761): changeset re-attributes the phase-count level cap + discloses the bare-0 carve-out; correct two stale test comments (round-6 Minor 1 + Nits)

FIX 2 (Minor 1 — disclosure only, NOT a code fix): the bracket-SPELLED
`### [GSD.02] 0:` / `0.5:` shape has the same counter/filter disagreement
round-6's Blocker fixed for the legacy spelling, but it reads 2/2/100 on
BASE too — never closed by any build in this arc, so it is a pre-existing
gap rather than a regression this round could introduce. Two changes:

  - Pinned as a base-parity characterization: new PIN test (B0) in
    04b5a95f's describe block asserting the exact unchanged value with a
    comment stating why it's deliberately not touched.
  - .changeset/2761-bracket-read-tolerance.md: one qualifying clause added
    to the "counted from ALL of the phases … not a subset" sentence — a
    bare `0`/`0.x` phase token (however spelled) keeps `roadmap analyze`'s
    own pre-existing sentinel reading under bracket too, so it stays
    excluded from these counts. Carried over, not newly introduced by this
    PR — `roadmap analyze` has always read it this way.

FIX 3(a) — same changeset paragraph misattributed the phase counter's
2-4 level cap to "the milestone-boundary machinery in this PR" (the
selector, `isMilestoneBounded`, the preamble scan) — that machinery caps
at `###` (level ≤3), not 2-4. The 2-4 cap belongs to
`getMilestonePhaseFilter`'s own phase scan. Re-pointed the attribution;
the paragraph's earlier, correct ≤3 claim (selector/isMilestoneBounded)
is untouched.

FIX 3(b) — tests/adr-612-bracket-heading-selection.test.cjs:76-82 (added by
1395bd89, round-5's own Nit-1 correction) claimed both
`BRACKET_PHASE_TAIL_RE` consumers are reached "only through the
`if (bracketBoundaryActive)` block starting at :529". Verified at HEAD:
`bracketHeadingHasMatchingChild` is (only caller :593, inside that block).
`isBracketMilestoneBoundary` is not — it has two callers, an inline
`bracketBoundaryActive &&` conjunct at `:473` (inside `computeSectionEnd`)
and the `:529` block at `:567` — the very fact this row's own earlier
"exactly two callers" paragraph already stated correctly. Corrected the
mechanism claim; the CONCLUSION (every consumer is still gated on the same
flag) is unchanged, exactly as round-5's own Nit-1 fix left round-4's
conclusion unchanged when it corrected the consumer count.

FIX 3(c) — tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs:2311,2340 still
said "four fence-blind sites" after round-5 (357ba671) added a fifth
(the retirement scan) in its own block below. Reworded both the section
comment and the `describe()` label to read as historical scoping of
round-4's own fix ("the four sites known at round 4 … a fifth was found at
round 5, see its own block below") rather than a live exhaustive claim.

Line count: 3 files, changeset 1/1, heading-selection test 17/8,
phase-counting test 6/2 (comment/prose-only; B0's own PIN test landed in
04b5a95f alongside T0/T05 since it was investigated as part of that same
Blocker's defect class, not in this commit — noted here for the record).

Verified: targeted suite (adr-612-*, roadmap-parser, state, verify)
unchanged at 970/970 (comment/prose-only diffs, no test count change).
`npx eslint` and `node scripts/changeset/lint.cjs` both clean.

* fix(#2761): W021's bracket remediation hint stops pointing at a command that hard-errors (round-7 Minor 2)

`checkBracketCoherence`'s W021 (added by 94abf5df) attached the fix hint
`Run \`gsd-tools roadmap upgrade --convention bracket\` to migrate
(dry-run by default)` to every bracket-convention W021 — both sub-checks
(`missing-bracket` and `mismatch`) share the single `addIssue` call at
src/verify.cts:2255-2256. But `roadmap-command-router.cts:204` throws
unconditionally for any `--convention` value other than
`milestone-prefixed`:

  $ gsd-tools roadmap upgrade --convention bracket
  Error: Only --convention milestone-prefixed is supported

This contradicts the PR's own two disclosures: the changeset ("`bracket`
is a READ-path opt-in until the migrator and write path land") and
docs/CONFIGURATION.md:188 ("There is no bracket migrator and no bracket
emit yet"). Reachability is the exact mid-migration repo this PR targets —
any bracket project with one un-migrated heading gets an unfollowable
instruction on every `validate health`.

Fix: one string. Replaced the hint with what a user can actually do today —
manually align the heading's bracket milestone to its section — and named
the tracked future landing (#612 PR-3) instead of a command that errors.
The milestone-prefixed sibling hint at src/verify.cts:2240 (a different,
already-functional convention/command pair — verified against
roadmap-command-router.cts:65) is untouched.

Line count: src/verify.cts is exactly 1 insertion / 1 deletion (one string
literal).

No test in the suite previously asserted this string's content
(`grep -rn "upgrade --convention bracket" tests/` was empty), so the
unfollowable hint shipped unpinned — `lint-fix-has-regression-test.cjs`
would not have caught a string-only change without a new test. Added one:
asserts the fix string both (a) does not match `--convention bracket`
(the specific pinned-before-this-fix hazard) and (b) equals the new string
exactly, covering the invariant a future edit must not re-break: no
unsupported `--convention` value named in remediation text users are
expected to run verbatim.

Verified end-to-end (not just unit-level) via /tmp/pr612rev/rv7f.cjs: the
W021 issue's `fix` field now reads the new string; `gsd-tools roadmap
upgrade --convention bracket` (and its --dry-run variant) still correctly
hard-error — that command remains unsupported, only the hint text changed.

Targeted suite (adr-612-*, roadmap-parser, state, verify): 970 -> 971 (+1),
0 fail. `lint-phase-id-drift.cjs` clean; `npx eslint` on touched files:
0 errors (1 pre-existing unrelated no-elapsed-assertion warning, same file,
same line this arc's prior rounds already disclosed).

* chore(#2761): correct the bare-0 changeset disclosure + disclose W021's second sub-check (round-7 Minor 1 + Nit 1)

FIX 1 (Minor 1) — round-6's bare-0 changeset clause (1395bd89) was wrong in
three falsifiable ways:

  (a) Its own illustration (`### Phase 0:`) is exactly the LEGACY spelling
      04b5a95f made COUNTED. The residual exclusion after that fix applies
      only to the BRACKET-spelled token (`### [GSD.02] 0:`) — the clause
      named the wrong shape as its example.
  (b) "excluded from these counts" over-scoped the carve-out. The phase-0
      directory is admitted into `completed_phases`/`total_plans` in BOTH
      spellings (measured: B0 at HEAD has `completed_phases=2`,
      `accepts {"GSD.02-0-bootstrap":true}`). The exclusion that survives
      lives in `total_phases`/`phase_count` (heading counting) only.
  (c) The pre-existing "so `roadmap analyze` and `state json` report the
      same number" sentence (present since before this arc's bracket work)
      is now false for the bare-0 LEGACY-spelled shape: 04b5a95f's own
      commit message discloses this exact re-divergence as expected —
      `roadmap analyze` phase_count=2 vs `state json` total_phases=3 on T0
      — matching the disagreement legacy already carries today. The
      changeset still asserted unconditional agreement.

Rewrote both sentences: dropped the `### Phase 0:` example, scoped the
carve-out to `total_phases`/`phase_count`, named the bracket-spelled token
as the one that keeps analyze's sentinel reading, stated plainly that the
legacy-spelled form in a bracket repo IS counted (the mid-migration guard),
and qualified the "report the same number" claim to the `999` token, with
the bare-0 legacy-spelled shape named as the one exception and why.

FIX 3 (Nit 1) — `checkBracketCoherence` has always had two sub-checks
(its own docstring: "Two sub-checks, both surfaced as W021") but both the
changeset and docs/CONFIGURATION.md:188 described only the `mismatch`
sub-check. The `missing-bracket` sub-check — which fires on every
legacy-spelled heading in a bracket repo, the noisier of the two on a
mid-migration project — was undisclosed in both places. One clause added
to each.

Line count: 2 files, 1 line changed each (both are single-paragraph/
single-row files; git diff --stat reports 1/1 per file though several
distinct clauses were edited within that one line each).

Verified: `node scripts/changeset/lint.cjs` clean. Targeted suite
(adr-612-*, roadmap-parser, state, verify) unchanged at 971/971
(prose-only diffs, no test count change, no code touched).

* chore(#2761): resolvePhaseIdConvention's docstring no longer claims loadConfig drops the key

Upstream #2997 (aa7697fe, landed in `next` during this PR's final
verification) added `phase_id_convention: get('phase_id_convention') ?? null`
to `_baseConfig` in config-loader.cts — `loadConfig` now surfaces
`phase_id_convention` in its resolved config. This function's docstring
gave "loadConfig merges against CONFIG_DEFAULTS and drops keys it does not
know, and `phase_id_convention` is not among them" as the reason for
reading config.json directly instead of calling `loadConfig(cwd)`. That
rationale is now stale against live `next`.

Corrected the comment to state the two reasons that actually survive #2997:

  1. The workstream->root federation this function performs is a standalone
     resolution run against a GIVEN cwd, not necessarily the same base a
     `loadConfig(cwd)` call elsewhere in the codebase would federate from.
  2. Convention-ENUM validation is still #612 PR-4 work — this function
     returns the raw string unvalidated, exactly as the now-surfaced
     resolved key would.

Noted that #2997 surfacing the key makes consuming it from resolved config
(instead of re-reading config.json here) a natural PR-4 consolidation —
not this PR's scope. The "cycles were never the obstacle" close and every
other paragraph in the docstring (federation rationale, SCOPE note) are
untouched; they still hold.

Comment-only — no code behavior changed. This worktree's own history does
not contain aa7697fe (git merge-base --is-ancestor confirms neither branch
is an ancestor of the other; not rebasing per instruction), so this is a
textual correction against a documented external fact, not a functional
sync with upstream.

git diff --stat:
 src/planning-workspace.cts | 17 ++++++++++++-----

* fix(#2761): resolve phase_id_convention against the caller's workstream

`resolvePhaseIdConvention` took no workstream, so it resolved from
`planningDir(cwd)` — which falls back to `GSD_WORKSTREAM` only when its `ws`
argument is `undefined`. Every caller that passes a workstream by ARGUMENT
(they cannot set the env var per iteration) therefore read the convention from
the ROOT config while reading that workstream's ROADMAP.

Two reproduced consequences:

- A workstream that explicitly declares its own `phase_id_convention` had it
  ignored. Flipping ONLY the root config between bracket and milestone-prefixed
  changed which milestone that workstream extracted.
- `--workstream foo` and `GSD_WORKSTREAM=foo` disagreed on the same repo: the
  arg form fell through to the root config, the env form did not.

`resolvePhaseIdConvention(cwd, ws?)` now forwards `ws` to `planningDir`, and
both roadmap-parser call sites pass theirs — `extractCurrentMilestoneScoped`
(which already reads STATE from `planningDir(cwd, ws)`) and
`getMilestonePhaseFilter`'s lazy branch. `undefined` keeps the env fallback, so
convention-less call sites are byte-identical; `null` still means "explicitly no
workstream". The `undefined` vs `null` discriminator on `phaseIdConvention` is
untouched — only the base the `undefined` branch resolves FROM moves.

workstream-inventory's two sites (`countRoadmapPhases`, `inspectWorkstream`)
passed a literal `null` where they meant `undefined`, pinning every workstream
to the legacy grammar. On a bracket workstream whose milestone declares 3
phases that returned phaseCount 0 and fell back to the on-disk directory count;
it now returns 3. A non-bracket workstream is unchanged (legacy control pinned).

The workstream -> root federation is preserved: a workstream that declares no
convention still inherits the root, as config-loader does. That inheritance is
pinned so the fix cannot be over-applied into isolation.

* fix(#2761): classify missing phase details per occurrence, not per token

Under READING-B a phase's sentinel status lives in the BRACKET, so
`[GSD.999] 01` and `[GSD.02] 01` share a token and are not the same phase.
Both sides of the missing-detail check were keyed by the bare token anyway, and
both produced false negatives in `missing_phase_details`:

- The checklist scan built a token -> bracket-id Map, FIRST-WINS. Of two entries
  sharing a token, whichever the author wrote first classified both. With
  `- [ ] **[GSD.999] 01: Icebox**` above `- [ ] **[GSD.02] 01: ...**` the real
  phase inherited the icebox's sentinel verdict and vanished from the report;
  swapping the two bullets — same document, same phases — reported it. Pinned
  with a test asserting BOTH orders.

- The detail set was `new Set(phases.map(p => p.number))`, also token-keyed, so
  `[GSD.02] 01`'s heading marked token `01` present and satisfied
  `[GSD.03] 01`, which has no heading anywhere. Order-independent, same class.

Both sides now key on an occurrence key: the owner's `bracketQualifiedKey`
(fold- and padding-insensitive, so `[gsd.2] 01` and `[GSD.02] 01` are one
phase), falling back to a fold-normalized composite for the two shapes that
grammar refuses — a token carrying its own hyphen, which splices to an id whose
trailing segment the qualified-key grammar truncates (the hazard
`getMilestonePhaseFilter` guards with its own `!token.includes('-')`), and any
id it does not accept. With no bracket id the key IS the bare token, so the
legacy path keeps its exact keys and dedupe order.

The emitted value is unchanged — `missing_phase_details` stays an array of bare
tokens, matching `phases[].number`. Only the classification moved to the
qualified key, so two brackets' `01` both missing report `01` once instead of
one silently covering for the other.

* test(#2761): replace the two wall-clock ReDoS assertions with algorithmic bounds

Both guards asserted elapsed wall-clock time — `Date.now()` against a 20s
ceiling in the coherence suite, `process.hrtime.bigint()` against 1s in the
read-tolerance suite. Those measure the host machine rather than the SUT and
flake on a loaded CI runner (RULESET.TESTS.no-timing-assertion). Per
RULESET.TESTS.delete-bad-tests they are REPLACED, not skipped, and the
behavioral property each one guarded is preserved.

The property is "the widened bracket patterns do not backtrack
catastrophically", which is a claim about growth, so it is now stated by
scaling the input instead of by timing it:

- validate health runs the pathological unclosed bracket at 4,000 and 16,000
  characters and must return the same correct result (no W021) at both.
- The four reader entry points run five ReDoS shapes at 5,000 and 20,000 and
  must name exactly the phases each shape should name at each size, with the
  variant cardinality unchanged across the two.

Catastrophic backtracking is superlinear, so a regression cannot complete the
4x leg under any ceiling, while a bounded matcher is indifferent to the
scaling. The one attack that is well-formed-but-oversized now pins its reading
precisely (`['1'.repeat(n)]`) rather than being lumped in with the malformed
ones. A positive control asserts the readers still extract a well-formed
bracket heading, so "names no phase" cannot pass by the readers being inert.

`{ timeout }` is a hang backstop, not an assertion: it turns a runaway into a
deterministic failure instead of a suite that never returns.

* fix(#2761): give the bracket grammar one owner and teach the drift guard to see it

The bracket milestone-intro grammar was re-typed verbatim in three readers —
roadmap-parser's bracket-fallback selector, state's `isMilestoneBounded` and
verify's `checkBracketCoherence` — which is exactly what #2761's own gate
forbids ("no token literal outside src/phase-id.cts"). `check:phase-id-drift`
reported clean the whole time: its detector only ever knew the phase-NUMBER
token grammar, so the bracket class `[A-Z][A-Z0-9_]*` was invisible to it.

Ownership. `src/phase-id.cts` now exports the class as
`BRACKET_PROJECT_CODE_SRC` and the intro in the two shapes its readers need:
`bracketMilestoneIntroSrcFor(milestone)` (pinned to one milestone) and
`BRACKET_MILESTONE_INTRO_CAPTURING_SRC` (milestone captured). The pinned
builder owns the pad2 spelling rule too — "canonical spelling only, not `0*N`"
was previously restated in prose beside each copy, a convention two files had
to keep agreeing on by hand. `BRACKET_ID_SRC`, `BRACKET_ID_PREFIX_RE` and
`BRACKET_QUALIFIED_KEY_RE` now compose the class rather than re-spelling it.
All three call sites consume the owner; the regex sources are byte-identical to
what they spelled, asserted against hand transcriptions of the pre-fix lines.

Guard. `scripts/lint-phase-id-drift.cjs` gains a bracket rule
(`findBracketGrammarDrift`), wired into `scanRepo` and tagged `kind`. It
deliberately does NOT copy the token rule's `line.includes(CANON_REF)` escape:
that escape is line-level, and verify's copy referenced the owner for the
MILESTONE field on the same line as the re-typed PROJECT-CODE class — so a
bracket rule with that escape would have kept passing on the very site under
review. Partial ownership is the drift; only a dedicated `// phase-id-owner:`
comment suppresses it.

Proof, end to end: planting the shipped verify.cts literal back into src/ makes
`npm run check:phase-id-drift` exit 1 naming `[bracket] src/verify.cts:1475`;
restoring it returns the gate to ok.

Tests. phase-id-drift-guard carries all three shipped literals as negative
fixtures, the same-line-owner-reference case, the case-widened evasion variant,
the sanction rules, and a temp-tree scan proving the rule is wired into
scanRepo rather than merely exported. continuation-grammar-parity drives the
pinned and capturing shapes over a 12-entry corpus and requires the same
verdict from both plus the same captured milestone — widening either alone
fails there.

* test(#2761): drop the out-of-scope source-grep exemption from the selector pin

The baseline-selector pin in tests/adr-612-bracket-heading-selection.test.cjs
read `src/*.cts` with readFileSync and regex, claiming the no-source-grep
escape with a source-text-is-the-product reason. CONTEXT.md's documented scope
(RULESET.TESTS.no-source-grep.exemption) reserves that escape for tests whose
subject is a runtime CONTRACT FILE — STATE.md, config.toml, hooks.json, agent
.md — and `src/*.cts` is none of those.

It was also broader than it looked: eslint-rules/no-source-grep.cjs matches the
marker in ANY comment in the file, so one block's claim disarmed the rule for
the whole ~700-line suite.

The pin itself is worth keeping — the BASELINE ARGUMENT at each call site is a
fact no behavioural test can recover (flipping verify's milestone-complete site
from LABEL_ONLY to ANY_BRACKET grants a tolerance it has never had, and every
behavioural test still passes), so pinning it does require reading the authored
source. That reading moved to `scripts/lint-phase-id-drift.cjs` — the seam's
own guard, where source scanning is sanctioned (`warn` scope) and already
happens for the grammar rules — as `countSelectorBaselines` /
`scanSelectorBaselines`, which return a structured census. The test asserts on
the returned data and touches no file text.

CONTEXT.md is unchanged: the exemption scope was not widened to fit the test.
No marker remains in the suite, so the rule is live across all of it again, and
eslint passes with the escape removed rather than relocated. A floor assertion
pins that the census actually found the five consumers, so the "no other file
consumes the selector unpinned" check cannot pass on an empty scan.

* docs(#2761): rewrite the changeset as a lead + deltas instead of one paragraph

The fragment was a single ~6,400-character paragraph that opened on internal
mechanics, buried the user-visible change, and named an internal test path
(tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs) that means nothing to a reader
of the CHANGELOG.

It now leads with what a user sees — bracket-style phase IDs are recognized on
the read path across roadmap, validate, verify and state — followed by compact
bullets for the behavioral deltas, the opt-in caveat, and the upstream
consequences. Both merge-added disclosures are kept: the #3185 legacy-sentinel
Phase-0 delta with the reason the bracket counter keeps the narrower rule, and
the enumerator's convention-argument default flip with the four newly-scoped
read surfaces and the note that archival and milestone-completion paths are
unchanged. Two deltas from this review round are stated as their own bullets:
per-occurrence classification in `missing_phase_details`, and workstream-scoped
convention resolution including the workstream-rollup count change.

The internal test path is gone and the body is down to ~3,850 characters. The
bullets render as sub-bullets under the CHANGELOG entry and the `(#NNNN)`
suffix still lands on a trailing paragraph rather than mid-list.
`npm run lint:changeset` passes.

* test(#2761): use helpers.cleanup in the drift-guard temp-tree test

`local/no-raw-rmsync-in-tests` rejects a bare `fs.rmSync` in tests — the shared
helper carries the Windows-EBUSY retry budget. The temp-tree scan added with
M3's guard coverage test used the raw call.

* docs(#2761): correct the occurrenceKey comment on qualified-key normalization

The comment claimed `bracketQualifiedKey` is "fold- and padding-insensitive, so
`[gsd.2] 01` and `[GSD.02] 01` are one phase". The fold half is right; the
padding half is not. `BRACKET_MILESTONE_NUMERIC_SRC` is `(?:[1-9]\d{2,}|\d{2})`,
so `bracketQualifiedKey('GSD.2-01', 'bracket')` returns null and that input
takes the composite fallback instead.

No behavior change — the two key spaces use different separators and cannot
collide — but the claim was checkable and wrong. Restated: the owner case-folds,
and padding-tolerance is not a property it has or needs, because each accepted
milestone has exactly one canonical spelling and `[GSD.2]` is malformed rather
than an alternate spelling of `[GSD.02]`.

* ci(#2761): give the coverage-gate job the heap floor the shard jobs already have

The gate's report steps parse ~2.5GB of merged raw V8 dumps in one
process at the runner's implicit ~4GB ceiling, so pass/fail comes down
to GC timing (run 31338081337 OOM'd; next passes the same volume at
28s). Deterministic locally: crashes at --max-old-space-size=4096,
completes in 11s at 8192. PR shard data is within 0.15% of green next
runs — the load is pre-existing, only the ceiling was missing. #2952
set 6144 on the shard-collection step; the gate job was missed.

* Revert "ci(#2761): give the coverage-gate job the heap floor the shard jobs already have"

This reverts commit 03c74a97c911e9ddc53675aded9c9bbb89f14cd1.

* fix(#2761): thread the resolved convention into cmdStateValidate's phase-directory lookup

#3208 replaced cmdStateValidate's `startsWith` prefix test with the canonical
`phaseKeyFromDir(...) === selectedPhaseKey` comparison. That is the right
surface, and it is why the lookup now needs the resolved `phase_id_convention`,
which the rewrite does not pass.

`phaseKeyFromDir` deliberately refuses to read a bracket directory without an
explicit signal (ADR-2121: a bracket dir is string-indistinguishable from the
legacy letter-prefixed-decimal family), so un-threaded it returns the whole dir
name as the key — `GSD.02-05-real-work` -> `GSD.02-5-REAL-WORK` — while the
STATE side is the bare `05` that `parsePhaseFromProse` yields. Both sides of one
comparison derived under different conventions is #2562's defect class, and this
file's other three `phaseKeyFromDir` call sites already thread against it.

Observable: a bracket repo whose phase directory plainly exists reported
`valid: false` and "no phase directory matches phase 05", and the drift scan
(plan-count mismatch, verification status) never ran. The pre-#3208 `startsWith`
missed the same directory but skipped silently, so this is a visible-failure
regression on bracket repos, not a new miss.

Non-bracket conventions are byte-identical by construction: `extractPhaseToken`
branches only on `=== 'bracket'`, so null / 'milestone-prefixed' / unresolvable
compile the same path as the un-threaded call. The flat-legacy twin assertion
pins that.

* docs(#2761): note the cmdStateValidate convention threading in the changeset fragment

The fragment described the bracket read path as of the pre-merge branch. 504c64ff
added a shipped behaviour change — `state validate` now resolves bracket phase
directories — that the fragment did not mention, so the rendered changelog would
have under-described what ships.

Body text only; `type` and `pr` are untouched.

* test(#2761): invert the inherited-wart characterization — #3225 fixed it upstream

Required by the merge of next @ 86101ee6; test-only, no src delta.

This branch disclosed rather than fixed a pre-existing upstream wart: on a
LEGACY repo, `### Phase 999:` warned from `validate consistency` while
`validate health` suppressed it — the two verbs contradicting each other.
The case was pinned as a characterization test ("INHERITED WART, unchanged")
precisely so it would INVERT if upstream ever closed it, rather than rot
silently.

ae7dc529 (#3225) closed it, by adding the `isSentinelPhaseId` guard to this
very loop. So the assertion inverted on the merge — as designed. Flipped to
assert the FIXED behaviour rather than deleted: it is the negative-space
proof that this branch's `sentinelPhases` guard never had to grow a legacy
reading of its own, and it reds if a future conflict resolution keeps our
guard while dropping upstream's.

Added a scope control alongside it (a legacy NON-sentinel `### Phase 09:`
with no directory still warns), so deleting the loop outright cannot pass.

Union proven load-bearing in BOTH directions against the merged tree —
neither guard subsumes the other:
  - drop `isSentinelPhaseId(p)` (ours only) -> 1 red, exactly this case.
    Note upstream's own #3225 tests stay GREEN there: they cover the
    disk-side loops (sentinel dir on disk) and the gap-numbering filter,
    not the ROADMAP-side loop. This case is that site's only coverage,
    which is the second reason to keep it rather than delete it.
  - drop `sentinelPhases.has(p)` (upstream only) -> 4 red bracket suites
    (icebox-not-missing, health/consistency agreement, occurrence-aware
    suppression, checklist-index suppression).

tests/adr-612-bracket-read-tolerance.test.cjs 79 -> 80, all green.

* test(#2761): pin the three re-homed W006/W007 reads the merge left unfalsifiable

#3309/#3310 deleted the helpers this PR threaded (collectDiskPhases,
collectDiskPhaseEntries, collectArchivedPhaseDirNames,
forEachArchivedPhaseToken) and rebuilt their reads inside
src/planning-snapshot.cts + src/health-diagnostic-rules/*.cts. The convention
threading moved with them in the merge commit — but a mutation sweep over the
re-homed sites found three where reverting the convention argument changed real
CLI output and NOT ONE existing test went red. The pre-migration sites were
covered indirectly, through helpers that no longer exist, so the coverage did
not survive the relocation even though the behaviour did.

Each case is pinned at the CLI with its flat-legacy twin as the byte-identity
control, plus a non-vacuity control in the opposite direction:

  archivedPhaseTokens      revert -> "Phase 05 in ROADMAP.md but no directory on
  (planning-snapshot.cts)            disk" for a phase whose only directory is
                                     under .planning/milestones/v1.0-phases/
  roadmapPhaseCheckboxes   revert -> "Phase 09 in ROADMAP.md but no directory on
  (planning-snapshot.cts)            disk" for an unstarted `- [ ]` phase
  W007's extractPhaseToken revert -> "Phase GSD.02-77-orphan exists on disk"
  (roadmap-disk-consistency)         instead of "Phase 77 exists on disk"

Red/green: each single-line revert reds exactly its own case and nothing else;
every legacy control stays green in all three runs.

NOT pinned, and disclosed as droppable rather than given an unfalsifiable test:
buildValidPhaseSet's extractPhaseToken(dir, convention) in W002. That rule
unions disk tokens with roadmapDeclaredPhases and archivedPhaseTokens, and any
STATE.md reference a bracket disk token would rescue is already rescued by the
ROADMAP half — probed directly, the argument makes no observable difference. It
is threaded because it restores collectDiskPhases(planBase, convention)'s
derivation exactly, not because a test needs it.

Test-only; revertable independently of the merge commit.

* test(#2761): pin the two reads the #3165 extraction left unfalsifiable

DROPPABLE, offered as such. Test-only; the merge commit is correct without it.

#3428's extraction gave `collectAnalyzePhases` TWO call sites — the scoped
milestone window and the truncated-window recovery path. The merge threads
`convention` into both and swaps `detailKeys` with `phases` across the recovery.
Neither of those was falsifiable by the suite as it stood:

  - passing a NULL convention at the FALLBACK site, with the scoped site still
    threaded, is green across all 518 tests of the bracket, roadmap and
    milestone-window files. Every pre-existing bracket assertion reaches the
    enrichment through the scoped window, so none of them can observe the
    fallback's reading at all;
  - dropping `detailKeys = fallbackScan.detailKeys;` — the line this merge
    authored — is likewise green, because no fixture that reaches the recovery
    path carries a checklist bullet, so `missing_phase_details` is `null`
    either way.

That is the same hole class lap 3 closed in 9914359c: an argument whose revert
changes real CLI output with zero reds.

Pinned at the CLI on the shape that reaches the fallback on a bracket repo — a
MID-MIGRATION ROADMAP: bracketed ACTIVE milestone, its phase-detail sections
and checklist bullets sitting after an intervening CLOSED legacy milestone (so
the window closes over prose only), plus one legacy `### Phase N:` section of
its own. Six tests:

  - a NON-VACUITY control that removes the phase directories, so #3428's own
    precondition fails and the result is the empty one the recovery exists to
    replace — this is what proves the rest read the FALLBACK's output rather
    than the scoped scan's;
  - the directory assertion (`disk_status`/`plan_count`/`summary_count` for
    canonical `{CODE}.{MM}-{PP}-slug` dirs) + a flat-legacy twin asserting
    byte-equal shape, and that the twin is the right answer rather than a
    shared wrong one;
  - `missing_phase_details: null` for phases the recovery just found, and its
    companion direction — a bullet with no heading anywhere is STILL reported,
    so a fix that merely suppressed the report does not pass;
  - a non-bracket repo taking the same path unaffected.

Red/green, each mutation reverted afterwards:
  - fallback call site -> `null` convention: exactly 2 reds, both directory
    assertions in this block; 307 other tests green, including upstream's own
    #3428 tests in tests/milestone-window-single-owner.test.cjs.
  - `detailKeys` swap deleted: exactly 2 reds, both `missing_phase_details`
    assertions; 414 other tests green.
  - `matchPhaseDirs` 3rd argument dropped (the lap-2 site): 4 reds — the 2
    already on record plus this block's 2, which is the point: one seam, now
    reached by two paths.

DISCLOSED IN THE TEST BODY WITH MEASURED OUTPUT, not fixed: `hasPhaseEntries`
(src/roadmap-parser.cts) is convention-blind, so on a PURE-bracket ROADMAP the
window classifies COMPLETE and #3428's recovery is gated off entirely. That
document returns `{"scope":"complete","phase_count":0,"next_phase":null,
"phases":[]}` — the "genuinely empty milestone" answer, the indistinguishability
#3184 introduced `scope` to remove — where the flat-legacy twin returns
`{"scope":"truncated","phase_count":2,...}`. Widening it changes the value of an
upstream-owned output field on bracket repos, so it is a behaviour slice (the
PR-2.5/PR-4 convention-less-readers question), not a merge-round change. The
mid-migration shape pinned here is the reachable half.

* fix(#2761): mirror the bracket terminator in the milestone-scope write guard

parser's terminator vocabulary — "a level 1-3 heading that is not a Phase
heading and carries a milestone signal". On this branch that vocabulary is
convention-SELECTED: `computeBracketSectionEnd` adds `isBracketMilestoneBoundary`
as a terminator arm, and the ADR-canonical `## [GSD.09] Hidden` carries NO
vN.N token, NO ✅/📋/🚧/🔄 marker, and not the word "Milestone". Left
unmirrored, the guard accepted exactly the description it exists to reject.

NOT a defect on clean next — a bracket heading terminates nothing there. The
branch widens the terminator set, so the branch owns the mirror.

MEASURED at the CLI seam before the fix (bracket fixture, one milestone,
one phase):

  $ gsd-tools phase add $'Sneaky\n## [GSD.09] Hidden'   -> exit 0, written
  $ gsd-tools phase add 'Innocent follow up'            -> exit 0, written
  $ gsd-tools roadmap milestone-scope
    { "scope": "complete", "phases": ["01","1"], "phase_count": 2 }
  $ grep '^### Phase' .planning/ROADMAP.md
    ### Phase 1: Sneaky
    ### Phase 2: Innocent follow up      <- in the document, out of the window

After the fix the first add exits 1, ROADMAP.md is byte-unchanged and no
phase directory is created. The legacy twin (same text, no
`phase_id_convention`) still exits 0 — opt-in only, base behaviour preserved.

SHAPE
- `findMilestoneScopeHeadingLines(text, convention)` — REQUIRED, the same
  tripwire `scanMilestonePhaseIds` carries in the merge commit and for the
  sharper reason: a blind call here fails OPEN (the guard quietly ACCEPTS a
  window-narrowing description), so a future call site must fail to COMPILE.
  Census is one caller, which pays nothing for it. A non-bracket value takes
  the pre-existing path byte-identically. The bracket arm routes through
  `isBracketMilestoneBoundary`, the same single-owner phase-vs-milestone
  discriminator `computeBracketSectionEnd` consults; no second bracket-heading
  grammar is spelled here.
- `selectedBracketId` is deliberately `null`, so the same-milestone
  CONTINUATION exemption never fires and a value naming the ACTIVE milestone
  is flagged too. That is this predicate's third stated conservatism and
  rests on its own existing argument: which milestone is active is a property
  of the document at write time, not of the text being validated, and
  over-rejecting is one-directional.
- `assertDescriptionPreservesMilestoneScope` takes `cwd` and resolves through
  the branch's tolerant try/catch — this guard runs BEFORE `loadConfig` and
  before the ROADMAP existence check, so an unresolvable convention must
  degrade to the legacy vocabulary, never turn a rejection into a crash.
- The error's marker list gains the bracket form only when the project is on
  the bracket convention.

RED/GREEN
- Revert the bracket arm -> 2 reds (phase add; insert + add-batch), the
  non-bracket control and both no-false-positive cases stay green.
- Revert the probe threading in the merge commit -> 1 red (the probe case).
- 6 new cases in the #3262 file, each with a non-bracket or
  no-false-positive control: fenced bracket milestone heading and bracket
  PHASE heading are both non-violations.

Droppable: revert this commit and the merge stands on its own; the branch
then ships the gap as a disclosure instead of a fix.

* docs(changeset): narrow the enumerator claim to the directory set — per-entry rendering in progress/stats/init-manager is display-slice scope

Round-7 review confirmed 3 of the 4 surfaces named by the closing claim
parse each directory or heading with legacy-only patterns that live in
files this PR does not touch (commands.cts:1766, commands.cts:2116,
init.cts:2241). The claim now states exactly what this slice delivers:
the scoped directory set. Their per-entry conversion is display work,
deferred to the epic's display PR with the statusline/progress-card
gates it belongs beside.

* fix(#2761): de-accident the unmatched-milestone bracket fixture, re-pin to #3480's withhold contract

tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs:515 ("a milestone that
does NOT match STATE is not scoped in") asserted total_phases === 0.
Since today's merge brought in 70b5c1a1 (#3354/#3480, already in
`next`), buildStateFrontmatter withholds total_phases (omits the key,
read back as null) for a milestone that is genuinely sectioned but
matches no ROADMAP heading, instead of substituting a computed number
— the fixture's `state json` read now returns null, failing the
strictEqual(0) assertion.

The original single-section fixture's 0 only ever survived by
accident: hasMilestoneSectioning requires >=2 milestone-vocabulary
headings to call a ROADMAP sectioned, and its isPhaseHeading helper
recognizes only the legacy `Phase N:` text form — so the bracket
phase heading `### [GSD.03] 09: Not this milestone` (title containing
the word "milestone") miscounted as a second milestone heading,
tipping hasMilestoneSectioning true and routing to the disk-count
branch. With that miscount removed, the same one-section fixture
reads 1 (the non-matching milestone's phase count leaking into v2.0's
total) — proving the pinned 0 was never validating the scoping this
test claims to exercise.

Replaced the fixture with two genuine milestone sections (GSD.03,
GSD.04), neither matching STATE's v2.0, with phase titles carrying no
incidental vocabulary — the real #3354 shape. Re-pinned the assertion
to null, matching upstream's own tested contract (tests/state-
document.test.cjs, "#3354 with nothing stored, the key is omitted
rather than written from the dir count").

Verified: file green 3/3 runs (104/104), full state-suite regression
771/771 green. The isPhaseHeading gap that made the old fixture
accidental is a real, pre-existing, upstream-owned limitation
(hasMilestoneSectioning only guards >=2-section conflation, not a
single non-matching section leaking through) — not introduced by

* chore(#2761): exempt two self-authored-fixture regexes from #3441's unbounded-quantifier rule

Both sites parse the STATE.md the test itself just wrote to its own
tmpdir — fixed-size fixture output, not adversarial or document-scale
input. Exempted with the justification-comment pattern the tree's own
tests use for this exact case (settings-integrations, copilot-install,
research-agent-profiles). The sites predate the rule; #3441 landed on
next this morning and this branch picked it up in the catch-up merge.

* fix(#2761): fix forward two next-movement test regressions from the round-11 rebase

origin/next's #3573 newly threads STATE's stored `milestone:` value into
`state json`'s buildStateFrontmatter call (previously always `undefined` on
that read surface). Two pre-existing PR-2 fixtures reach code paths that
call never exercised before that merge:

- RED (repro2 case C): a version-less, all-bracket-id ROADMAP now hits
  getMilestonePhaseFilter's pre-existing (unaffected by this branch) row-5
  `versionResolved && !headingFound => SCOPE.UNSCOPED` rule, which withholds
  `progress.percent` even though the scoped total_phases/completed_phases
  are still correct. That row-5 rule is load-bearing for six other
  version-less-document pins in this same file; narrowing it broke seven of
  them in testing, so production code is untouched here. Reassert the
  test's real claim (scoping, via total_phases/completed_phases) and
  disclose the now-withheld percent instead of silently dropping it.

- PIN (repro12 LEGACY control): a fenced-example-vs-real version heading
  fixture. #3573 routes this read through sliceMilestoneWindow (fence-aware)
  instead of the legacy anyMilestonePattern raw scan (fence-blind) this pin
  was disclosing as out of scope, so the fixture no longer exercises the
  blind path — total_phases moves from the whole-doc 4 to the correctly
  scoped 2. Re-pinned with an upstream-attributed comment, matching this
  file's existing house style for prior origin/next movements (see the
  sibling "PIN (G3 LEGACY control)" comment).

Both are test-only fix-forwards: no production code changed. The remaining
12 failures in this file at 27363e9d0 (dropped seam commits' VERIFICATION.md
naming + fixture updates) are pre-existing and deferred to the stacked
follow-up per the task's own scope.

* fix(#2761): thread phaseIdConvention explicitly at the two write-adjacent enumerator call sites (round-11 BLOCKER)

listMilestonePhaseDirs' phaseIdConvention param lost its `= null` default
(phase-locator.cts), so an omitted convention now means "resolve from
config" instead of "explicitly not bracket" — a deliberate flip, but
milestone.cts and state.cts were not in the PR-2 diff and both call the
enumerator without threading it:

- milestone.cts cmdMilestoneComplete (the single #3597 shared derivation
  feeding the stats loop, --dry-run preview, and the real archive/rename
  pass) now resolves phase_id_convention once and threads it explicitly,
  so a bracket project's `milestone complete` archives its real
  bracket-declared phase directories instead of silently inheriting
  whatever the enumerator's lazy default resolves to.
- state.cts cmdStateUpdateProgress's own enumerator call threads the same
  resolved convention. Empirically this does not change the #3217 withhold
  gate (scope is assigned before headingConvention resolves in
  getMilestonePhaseFilter, so it's convention-independent either way) or
  the reported percent (already correctly threaded via
  computeUpdateProgressPreview -> buildStateFrontmatter); it closes a
  second, silently-resolved answer to the same question this file's own
  ONCE-and-THREAD rule (~:2300) already states as policy.
- state.cts's other listMilestonePhaseDirs call site (the state-sync
  scope-only read, ~:4791) is left unthreaded on purpose, with an inline
  note explaining why: only `.scope` is consumed, and `.scope` is set
  before convention resolution in getMilestonePhaseFilter, so it cannot
  disagree with a threaded convention.

Both enumerated sets are pinned by new tests (round-11 BLOCKER block in
tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs), including a mutation-style
regression check on the milestone.cts fix (forcing the un-threaded default
back on makes the pinned test fail, catching a regression to the
pass-all-degrade legacy reading).

* fix(#2761): correct the changeset's false archival claim and amend ADR-612 for the round-11 M2(2) split scope

The changeset (.changeset/2761-bracket-read-tolerance.md) asserted "The
archival and milestone-completion paths are unchanged" — false: both
paths reach the widened enumerator, and this PR now threads their
convention explicitly (previous commit). Replaced the closing paragraph
with an accurate description of what changes for a bracket project at
those two call sites, and notes both enumerated sets are pinned by tests.

ADR-612 (docs/adr/612-bracket-phase-id-convention.md) amended per M2(2):
the 2026-08-03 PR-2/PR-4 boundary proposal is added in-body (PROPOSED,
not stamped — mechanics per docs/contributor-standards.md:143 reserve ADR
ratification to maintainers), rescoped to what actually ships in PR-2
(#2761) now that the round-11 M1 split moved the completion-seam
threading (isPhaseArtifact/scopeToPhase, phase-id.cts:964-1090) out into
a separate, stacked follow-up PR referenced generically via epic #612:

- state.cts read-tolerance (both total_phases derivations, the #1514
  retirement filter) moves into PR-2's row, alongside milestone.cts,
  reflecting the round-11 fix above.
- the write-observability point is restated in terms of what actually
  ships: explicit threading at two named call sites, pinned by tests,
  rather than silent inheritance.
- the completion-seam threading is named and explicitly excluded from
  PR-2's scope, with a new ratify item (5) and a Negative consequence
  bullet covering the sequencing cost.

* fix(#2761): repair round-11 response gaps — disk-side sentinel bug, test-fixture bug, scanMilestonePhaseIds caller drift

Four independently-verified gaps in the round-11 repair response:

1. isSentinelPhaseId (src/phase-id.cts) treated a bare, untagged phase
   directory under phase_id_convention: "bracket" (`0-bootstrap`, no
   `{CODE}.{MM}-` prefix) as sentinel milestone 0 by falling through to the
   legacy leading-int rule when the bracket-tag match failed. This silently
   dropped a real, on-disk, milestone-declared phase directory from
   `listMilestonePhaseDirs` (phase-locator.cts:424, the only unguarded call
   site) and undercounted completed_phases/percent. Mirrors the carve-out
   already present on both heading-side counters (state.cts's
   countRoadmapPhaseHeadings guards its bare-0 exclusion with `bracketId &&`;
   roadmap-parser.cts's scanMilestonePhaseIds composes the bare-token rule as
   999-only) — under bracket convention, milestone 0 is expressed only via an
   explicit bracket tag, so an untagged leading 0 is a real phase token.

2. tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs's writeProject fixture
   hardcoded `01-VERIFICATION.md` for every "complete" phase dir regardless
   of the dir's real phase token. Under legacy convention this file already
   correctly failed #3511's strict isPhaseArtifact match for any dir other
   than phase 01 (the fixture never modeled what it claimed to); under
   bracket convention the pre-existing ambiguity fail-safe admitted it
   regardless. The two readings' disagreement was mistaken for a missing
   completion-seam threading (isPhaseArtifact/scopeToPhase convention
   awareness, correctly split out to the stacked #3644 per round-11's M1).
   Replaced the hardcoded name with verificationNameFor(dir), deriving the
   real per-phase filename from the production normalizePhaseName the same
   way cmdScaffold does — the 7 failing "flat-legacy-twin" / CHARACTERIZATION
   assertions pass on #2867's own code with no seam threading required, and
   the genuine seam-dependent cross-phase-stray-exclusion test the fixture
   fix would otherwise have hidden lives on the stacked branch instead.

3. tests/roadmap-parser.test.cjs's two #3577 tests still called
   scanMilestonePhaseIds with the old single-Set return shape; this PR
   changed it to `{ ids, qualifiedIds }` for every other caller but missed
   these two, which don't touch #2761/bracket code at all. TypeErrors at
   runtime, not silently-wrong assertions. Updated both call sites.

4. .changeset/2761-bracket-read-tolerance.md gains a paragraph disclosing
   fix 1 above, so the changeset stays accurate to what actually ships (the
   round-11 BLOCKER was exactly this changeset going stale once).

Verified: tests/adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs +
tests/continuation-grammar-parity.test.cjs + tests/roadmap-parser.test.cjs =
354/354. adr-612-{coherence,grammar,heading-selection,read-tolerance,
selection.property}.test.cjs + collision-characterization = 287/287
(CONFIRMED-CLEAN set, unaffected). Full unfiltered suite run separately.

PR #3643 (round-11's M1 split, opened draft per that round's explicit
requirement) was auto-closed by this repo's own draft-PR policy 11 seconds
after opening — draft PRs are unconditionally closed here. Reopened as
non-draft #3644 (same branch, same commits, DO NOT MERGE / stacked-on-#2867
marker in the body, enhancement template) since the repo's own bot confirms
non-draft contributor PRs are tolerated even off-template.

* fix(#2761): narrow the state-update-progress pin claim to what mutation testing actually proved, add the test that covers the rest

Round-11 BLOCKER response gap (verified, not a guess): the changeset and
ADR-612 amendment point 2 both claimed the round-11 tests pin
`cmdStateUpdateProgress` so "a future change to the enumerator's default
cannot silently move ... what state update-progress reports without failing
a test." Mutation testing disproves this. Reverting BOTH the state.cts
explicit `phaseIdConvention` thread AND simulating the phase-locator.cts
pre-#612 hardcoded-null default (`phaseIdConvention: null` at that one call
site) leaves the existing PIN test ("writes a real percent for a
bracket-scoped milestone") green, because that percent comes from
`computeUpdateProgressPreview` -> `buildStateFrontmatter`, a separately and
already-correctly-threaded derivation the state.cts inline comment at ~:965
already candidly documents.

What the reverted thread DOES change, empirically, is `phaseDirs`/`totalPlans`
— the enumerated `.value` this call site feeds into the #3233 zero-plans
no-op gate a few lines below. That is the one place a regression at this call
site is observable in the command's output. Added a test that pins exactly
that: a bracket milestone whose declared phases carry no plans on disk,
alongside a decoy directory that plainly does not belong to the milestone
(no bracket tag, no phase token) but does have a plan. Correctly scoped, the
decoy is excluded and the #3233 no-op fires (`updated: false`). Degraded to
the pass-all legacy reading, the decoy is swept in, `totalPlans` flips
nonzero, and the no-op never fires (`updated: true`).

Mutation-tested against both scenarios:
- Reverting ONLY the state.cts explicit thread (falls back to `undefined`,
  which `getMilestonePhaseFilter` resolves via the identical
  `resolvePhaseIdConvention(cwd, undefined)` call the explicit thread also
  makes): new test stays green — confirms the single-hunk thread really is
  pure single-derivation hygiene, exactly as the existing inline comment
  claims, for this test too.
- Forcing `phaseIdConvention: null` at that call site (the combined-revert
  scenario the round-11 mutation testing actually exercised): new test FAILS
  (`updated: true, percent: 0` instead of the expected `updated: false`).
  Restoring the real code makes it pass again.

Narrowed the changeset and ADR-612 point 2 prose to match: `cmdMilestoneComplete`'s
enumerated set is pinned against a pass-all-degrade regression (genuine,
already verified in round 11); `cmdStateUpdateProgress`'s own call site is now
pinned against the #3233 zero-plans no-op specifically, not against the
reported percent, which the prose no longer claims. Added a one-line pointer
to the new test in the state.cts inline comment. No production behavior
changes — test and documentation only.

* docs(#2761): reconcile ADR PR-2 module map

The rebase replayed this file's pre-#3639 patch over next, reverting the
isSentinelPhaseId(token) -> isSentinelPhaseDir(dirName) fix: the extracted
token is milestone-stripped, so a bracket sentinel (GSD.999-07-icebox,
GSD.00-01-backlog) was invisible to the id predicate and false-fired W007.
Restores upstream's call and comment verbatim; the branch's convention-aware
token remains for the diagnostic message only.

* docs(#2761): ratify scope and correct surface claims

* test(#2761): strengthen legacy selection and drift claims

* docs(#2761): correct the enumerator claim, scope list, and ratification receipt

Three documentation corrections, none touching production code.

The changeset claimed the shared phase-directory enumerator "now defaults its
convention argument to 'not yet resolved' rather than 'resolved, and not
bracket'". That is false: `phase-locator.cts:375` still destructures
`phaseIdConvention = null`, and the lazy resolve-from-config fires only on
`undefined` (`roadmap-parser.cts:941`, `:1928` — whose own comment records that
"explicit null still means 'resolved and non-bracket'"). Measured: only 4 of 17
`listMilestonePhaseDirs` call sites thread a resolved convention (`milestone
complete` and `state`'s three). The changeset went on to name `progress`,
`stats`, `phase list` and the init manager view as now receiving a correctly
scoped set — those are precisely callers that omit it. Replaced with what the
code does, and the deferral stated plainly.

The ADR's PR-2 row omitted `scripts/lint-phase-id-drift.cjs` (+141/-14) and
`scripts/lint-phase-enumeration-drift.cjs`, both changed by this PR. An
under-claim rather than an over-claim, but the row is the epic's
scope-of-record.

Ratify item 5 asserted maintainer ratification while citing only the review that
raised the question. It now cites the review that granted it (#2867 review
`5012940978`, 2026-08-24) and quotes its terms, so the claim carries its receipt.

Found by an adversarial review pass over the round-12 diff. (#2761)

* fix(#2761): drop the no-op --json that strict argv now rejects

Surfaced by the rebase onto next, not by a change in this PR's subject.

#3884 ("failure is a value — strict argv", e20744eac) made an unrecognized
flag a hard error: `state validate --json` now exits 1 with
`unknown flag "--json"; accepted: --strict` on stderr and EMPTY stdout,
where the token was previously accepted and ignored. `state validate` never
had a `--json` flag — JSON is its only output shape — so the argument was a
silent no-op from the start.

The helper parsed that empty stdout, so all five subtests in the
"state validate resolves bracket phase DIRECTORIES" suite failed identically
with `SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input` at the JSON.parse, masking
what they actually assert.

Dropping the token restores the same envelope the helper already parsed. No
assertion changes. Verified against the fixture the suite builds: exit 0, and
the output carries the S005 plan-count warning the drift assertions require
with no S004 phase-directory warning — i.e. the bracket directory resolves,
which is the behaviour these tests exist to pin. 94/94 in the file.

* fix(#2761): exempt the phase-counting suite from the docs-guard lane

Surfaced by the rebase onto next. #3753 (107eb8c1d) added
lint-docs-guard-registration, which requires every test file that reads a
docs/ path to be either registered in the docs-guard lane or carry an
explicit marker. It flags adr-612-bracket-phase-counting.test.cjs, which
reads no docs/ path at all.

The file's only docs/ occurrence is the ADR-612 Decision 1 citation in a line
comment; every read call it makes targets a tmpdir .planning fixture. It trips
Detector 3, whose DOCS_TEMPLATE_LITERAL_RE sees an odd prose backtick in the
comment block above that citation as opening a template literal and reads the
span between them — citation included — as a docs/ path expression. That
detector documents this trade in its own header: it favours recall, and says a
false positive costs one docs-guard-exempt marker with a reason. The baseline
records the same class ("comment-only mentions") for 46 of its entries.

Registration was the wrong side of the trade here: it would run this suite in
the docs-guard lane on docs/ changes whose content it never reads.

Three pieces, matching what the gate requires and what its 54 existing entries
already do:
  - the marker in the file's header window, written without backticks so it
    cannot itself disturb the parity tracking findExemption does;
  - the basename in DOCS_GUARD_EXEMPT_BASELINE, since the ratchet fails a new
    marker until the baseline is deliberately updated — the reviewable diff is
    the point;
  - the FIX 3 per-file fingerprint, derived with the lint's own
    extractDocsPathReferences rather than retyped, so the exemption fails loudly
    if the set of docs/ paths this file mentions ever changes.

Gates: lint-docs-guard-registration 0 violations, ci-docs-guard-registry 51/51.

* docs(#2761): correct the bare-0 comment and state what opting into bracket costs

Round-13 review items Minor 2 and Minor 3, both still live on the previous head.

Minor 2 — src/phase-id.cts. The comment block claimed "Bare `0` is admitted
alongside it because a 0.x sentinel is a legitimate identity that predates
padding", which contradicted both the shipped constant and its own next
paragraph. BRACKET_CANONICAL_NUMERIC_SOURCE is `(?:[1-9]\d{2,}|\d{2})`;
measured against it, `0` is rejected while `00`, `05`, `99`, `100` and `999`
are admitted. The paragraph four lines below already recorded the removal
("the earlier `(?:\d{2,}|0)` ... admitted ... a bare `0` that pad2 never
produces"), so the block asserted and denied the same fact. The stale sentence
is replaced with what ships: `00` is the backlog sentinel's canonical padded
identity, `\d{2}` already covers it, and nothing needs the unpadded spelling.
No behaviour change — the constant is untouched.

Minor 3 — docs/CONFIGURATION.md. The phase_id_convention row described the
read-path widening but never said what a repo GIVES UP by opting in. Added:
on a bracket repo a heading whose bracket is followed directly by a digit is
read as a phase heading, so `### [RFC.2119] 5:`, `### [v1.0] 2024:` and
`### [ADR.612] 3:` — legal prose headings under any other convention — are
claimed as phases and move phase_count, total_phases and W006. Those three
shapes are the ones phase-id.cts's own selector comment names as the reason
the widened read is selected at construction time from this value rather than
applied everywhere; the row now carries that trade instead of only its
upside.

Gates: tsc --noEmit exit 0, npm run lint:ci exit 0, npm run test:unit
33890/33891 with the single failure being emitted-attribution's base drift
against a next that moved after the rebase (133/133 against the rebase base;
this push re-bases onto the current tip, which resolves it).

d98b55562c enhance(#3910): the raw terminator is banned by construction (#3980)
* enhance(#3910): move the last src/ terminators onto the seam

Phase 6 bans the raw terminator by construction, which it cannot do while
violations stand. A census found 12 sites the rule would flag; nine of the ten
unsanctioned ones were owned by no phase of the epic at all — a coverage hole
in the decomposition, since P0-P2 are infra, P3 the gate modules, P4 the
scanners, P5 the fragments, P7 the hooks, P8 io.cts, and P6 itself only adds
the rule. `src/**/*.cts` now holds exactly 2 raw exits, both inside
`terminateNow`, the single sanctioned site.

`io.cts`'s `error()` is the interesting one. It was first called substantive on
"dozens of callers, contract risk" — asserted, not measured, and the
measurement refuted it: 289 call sites, zero inside a try whose catch would
swallow a throw. The real obstacle was structural instead: `terminateNow`
cannot emit exit 1, because ADR-3889 §1 makes 0 and 1 unallocatable and
`nameForExitCode(1)` throws. So the only route is `ExitError` under `runMain`,
which sets exitCode and writes stderr only when the error carries a user
message — keeping the existing stderr write and throwing a message-less
ExitError is observably identical.

That census was still too narrow, and running the CLI proved it. It asked
whether the CALL sits in a try/catch; the two regressions that surfaced were
interceptors elsewhere on the stack:

- `command-routing-hub.cts`'s `dispatch()` swallowed the ExitError into a
  HandlerFailure, so the caller emitted a duplicated, wrong stderr line on
  every Hub-routed path. It now rethrows ExitError explicitly — the same shape
  `gsd-tools.cjs` already used at two dispatch sites, so this follows an
  established idiom rather than inventing one.
- the profile-pipeline router's deliberately un-awaited `.catch(e => error(...))`
  turned an ExitError rejection into an uncaught exception; it now mirrors
  runMain's handling.

`edge-probe` and `ui-consideration-probe` gained `runMain` wrappers because
probe-core's new throwing default would otherwise have escaped them.

A follow-up sweep of every dispatcher — 19 command routers, the Hub, the
gsd-tools dispatch seams — found no further swallowing catch. The admitted
bound: ~1260 non-rethrowing catches repo-wide were scanned structurally but not
individually classified. Both real regressions were found by execution, not by
reading, so the suite is the detector that matters here.

`gsd-tools.cjs:253` stays a raw exit deliberately: it is the ensureRuntimeBuild
bootstrap, which runs before cli-exit is required, so the seam does not yet
exist. It needs a second allowlist entry, which means #3910's "single allowlist
entry" criterion is unachievable as written.

Verification runs on the remote runner.

Refs #3910

* enhance(#3910): ban the raw terminator by construction

Adds local/require-registered-exit and registers it on all four globs:
src/**/*.cts, scripts/**/*.cjs, hooks/**/*.js, gsd-core/bin/**/*.cjs.

Registering on the .cts glob is load-bearing, not redundant — the emitted .cjs
mirrors are globally eslint-ignored, so a rule registered only on the emitted
globs is blind to the sources. That is the #3496 lesson, and it is how the
previous guard became invisible: n/no-process-exit was 'error' in one block yet
fired zero times on all three surfaces that mattered.

The dead n/no-process-exit: 'off' block for hooks is deleted in the same PR.
Phase 7 migrated every hook, so the exemption now protects nothing.

Two allowlist entries, not the one #3910 anticipated. terminateNow's body is
detected STRUCTURALLY — a process.exit lexically inside a function of that name
— rather than by a path and line number that rots. The second is
gsd-tools.cjs's ensureRuntimeBuild bootstrap, an inline disable with its reason
at the call site: it runs before ./lib/cli-exit.cjs is required, so the seam
does not exist yet and no migration is possible. #3910's 'single allowlist
entry' criterion is therefore unachievable as written, and is amended with the
measurement rather than quietly missed.

The rule is proven able to FAIL, per glob: four positive controls, one for each
registered glob. A guard that cannot be shown to fire is not a guard. Four
matching negative controls pin process.exitCode as never-flagged — conflating
it with process.exit is what inflated this epic's original census 2x. An
allowlist case and a near-miss (same shape, different function name) fix the
structural detection in place.

Verification runs on the remote runner.

Refs #3910

* fix(#3910): stop the detached catch from throwing, and scope the allowlist

Review findings, one of them a regression the previous fix introduced.

_handlePipelineRejection called error() from inside a DETACHED .catch().
error() now throws, so that throw became an unhandled promise rejection — and
on Node >=15 with --unhandled-rejections=throw, Node dumps a raw stack trace
with absolute paths on top of the clean Error: line. That was impossible before
this branch, because process.exit(1) terminated synchronously before any
rejection machinery could observe it. The handler now writes byte-identical
stderr itself, in both plain and --json-errors form, and sets exitCode in
place. This was the THIRD interceptor found, and like the first two it surfaced
by running the CLI rather than by reading code.

The rule's terminateNow allowlist had no path constraint, so any function
anywhere named terminateNow across all four globs inherited it. It now requires
the structural nesting check AND a cli-exit.cts basename — still no line
numbers to rot.

The four per-glob positive controls only varied a filename inside RuleTester,
which never resolves eslint.config.mjs. Since the rule is filename-agnostic,
all four exercised identical logic and none proved the rule was WIRED — this
epic's own failure mode. A registration test now asserts the rule resolves for
a real path in each glob, and it is proven able to fail: removing one glob's
registration flips the resolved value from [2] to undefined.

Three evasions the rule cannot catch (computed member, aliasing, .call/.apply)
are documented in its header and pinned by tests, labelled as known limits
rather than endorsed, so a future change that starts catching them is a
deliberate diff.

Refs #3910

* docs(#3910): document the raw-terminator ban

Reference and Explanation via a new docs/features fragment (FEATURES.md is
generated from it, not hand-edited). How-To:
docs/how-to/resolve-a-raw-terminator-finding.md, indexed from docs/README.md —
a contributor whose code trips the rule picks among three replacements by
surface (runMain/ExitError for a CLI path, terminateNow for a hook,
process.exitCode where the process should drain), and needs to know why
process.exitCode is correct and never flagged, since conflating the two is what
inflated this epic's original census 2x.

The page also names the three patterns the rule cannot catch and says plainly
that using one to dodge it is a review finding, not a fix — documenting them
without that sentence would read as a sanctioned workaround.

docs/INVENTORY.md deliberately untouched: eslint-rules/ is not a tracked family
in the manifest (verified — a regen produced a zero diff), so a hand-written row
would desync the table from the family it claims to belong to.

Refs #3910

* fix(#3910): a catch that sniffs the message swallows an ExitError

The remote run returned 41 failures, and one of them was a live production
regression rather than a test artifact.

`cmdMilestoneComplete`'s unstarted-phase guard re-threw only when
`e.message.startsWith('Cannot mark milestone complete:')`. `error()` used to
`process.exit(1)`, uncatchable, so the guard always fired. It now throws an
ExitError carrying no message, the string test fails, and the ExitError was
silently swallowed — the guard stopped blocking milestone completion entirely.
Proven against the real CLI: pre-fix, a milestone with an unstarted phase
archived at exit 0; post-fix it is blocked at exit 1 with the intended message.

That is a guard that silently stopped guarding, which is this epic's thesis
appearing inside the phase meant to enforce it. Worth stating plainly: an
earlier census DID examine this site, saw a `throw e`, and classified it as
rethrowing. It was wrong — the rethrow is conditional, and a conditional
rethrow on an inspected message is indistinguishable from an unconditional one
unless you read the predicate.

So the class was swept rather than patched where it was tripped over. An AST
census of every CatchClause across src/, gsd-core/bin/ and scripts/ found 38
conditional rethrows. Two more had the same defect and are fixed the same way:
`config.cts`'s `'No config.json'` sniff and `gsd-tools.cjs`'s
`e.name === 'WindowsError'`. The remaining 25 are provably unreachable — every
one wraps a bare fs, YAML, manifest-require or git-exec primitive that cannot
throw ExitError — and two were scanner false positives, both explained. Each
fix is an unconditional `instanceof ExitError` rethrow placed BEFORE any
inspection, matching the idiom command-routing-hub and gsd-tools already used.

Residual bound, stated rather than implied: zero known-reachable unfixed sites,
contingent only on error() never later being called inside one of those 25
primitive try blocks.

The remaining failures were harness artifacts, and the harnesses were corrected
to the new contract rather than the assertions weakened. Tests that mocked
`process.exit` to observe termination now catch ExitError and assert its code;
tests parsing stderr as a single JSON object still assert exactly that, with
their ad-hoc `node -e` scripts wrapped in runMain so it is true. milestone and
phase-resolution-parity needed no test change — they were correctly written
against the real bug and are what caught it.

Verification runs on the remote runner.

6b7df61938 enhance(#3881): one YAML parser — vendored js-yaml replaces the hand-rolled dialect (#3888)
* docs(#3881): answer §8.1's open question and correct three wrong premises

ADR-3473 §8.1 carries a blocking open question with a forcing function: it must
be answered before any implementation PR for the rule opens. Answered here as (a),
a string-coercing adapter, with the measurement that settles it.

The sequencing note bet that §8.8's schema would make (b) tractable. Measured
against merged reality it does not: only 33 of extractFrontmatter's 78 non-test
call sites read STATE.md, and two of the five compensating mechanisms §8.1 lists
survive real types, leaving ~31 lines across 3 call sites as the actual prize.

Also corrects three claims verified false while answering it. §8.1's justifying
sentence names #3349 and #3360 as defects a real parser would fix; both are
already fixed on next, confirmed by executing the compiled parser rather than
reading it. The guard roster calls lint-frontmatter-scalar-broad-grep.cjs an
expected casualty of this rule, but it guards shell grep idioms in workflow bash
fences and never touches our parser. The same roster calls lint-vendored-deps.cjs
reusable as-is; it is hardcoded to re2js throughout.

The last two were caught by applying the rule this amendment records -- a factual
claim in this ADR is a hypothesis until the implementing phase executes it -- on
its first use.

Refs #3881

* docs(#3881): record that §8.1's fork is ill-posed and (a) is not implementable

An adversarial pass on the Phase 4 design established by execution that
extractFrontmatter is not a YAML parser but a line-oriented scanner whose output
is a function of raw source text. Four spellings of the same value collapse to
one js-yaml tree but produce four distinct legacy strings, one of them mangled.
No adapter over a tree can choose among outputs the tree does not distinguish,
so fork (a) -- keep a string-coercing adapter so the existing contract holds --
cannot be built. For any document with a non-scalar value, (a) collapses into
(b); about 26 percent of frontmatter-carrying documents have one.

Also records three design defects and one new attack surface, all confirmed by
execution: catching a parse failure and returning {} would delete the frontmatter
block on the next write at eight call sites that conflate empty with unparseable;
an empty value yields null where legacy yields {}, and reconstructFrontmatter
omits null-valued keys, so the shipped state template's empty progress key would
vanish; the #1882 truncation probe is parseYamlRegion itself rather than a
pre-parse heuristic, so it cannot both stay unchanged and survive that deletion;
and FAILSAFE_SCHEMA still resolves aliases, expanding seven lines to 22.8 MB.

The rule is not deferred. The measurement is the deliverable and the re-scoping
is recorded as an open question with a forcing function, per section 8's own rule.

* chore(#3881): vendor js-yaml and generalize the vendored-deps guard to a manifest

Packaging step for ADR-3473 §8.1: makes js-yaml available to gsd-core/bin/** without promoting it out of devDependencies (promoting broke every installed tree, #3496).

gsd-core/bin/lib/vendor/js-yaml.cjs is a verbatim copy of node_modules/js-yaml/dist/js-yaml.js (the self-contained UMD dist bundle, not index.js), exposing load/dump/FAILSAFE_SCHEMA/YAMLException with zero require() calls of its own.

src/vendor/js-yaml.d.cts is hand-authored, not copied, because js-yaml ships no upstream .d.ts and @types/js-yaml is not installed. It is deliberately narrow, declaring only the four symbols in use, so anchors/aliases/custom types/loadAll are unreachable from typed code -- a compile-time enforcement of ADR-3473 §8.1's refusal to expand alias resolution for security reasons. Because it has no upstream counterpart it is excluded from the byte-compare.

scripts/lint-vendored-deps.cjs is refactored from a script hardcoded to re2js into a table-driven VENDORED manifest (one row per package: upstream/vendored .cjs paths, optional .d.cts paths, twin kind upstream-verbatim vs hand-authored) so a second vendored package does not require a second hardcoded check block, per ADR-3473 §8.3 'one implementation per rule'. The four existing re2js checks (vendored .cjs vs node_modules, vendored .d.cts vs node_modules, src/vendor twin vs bin-side twin, devDependency version pin vs installed version) are preserved unchanged; verified pass/fail identical before and after the refactor, and the guard's ability to fail was re-proven with a deliberate one-byte append to both re2js.cjs and js-yaml.cjs, then restored.

docs/INVENTORY.md and docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json (via gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write, run after build:lib) register vendor/js-yaml.cjs. gsd-core/bin/lib/vendor/README.md documents both vendored packages and the two twin kinds.

Refs #3881

* feat(#3881): parse .planning frontmatter with the vendored js-yaml

ADR-3473 §8.1: extractFrontmatter's read path is no longer a hand-rolled
line scanner. parseYamlRegion, escapeDoubleQuoted, unescapeDoubleQuoted and
parseQuotedScalar are deleted (not patched); parsing now goes through the
vendored js-yaml (./vendor/js-yaml.cjs) under { schema: FAILSAFE_SCHEMA,
json: true }. Everything js-yaml does not do is layered on top, in one
place, carrying the seven design-doc consequences:

1. Empty value: a null js-yaml value is coerced to {} (matching legacy's
   own empty-value contract) so reconstructFrontmatter — which omits
   null-valued keys — still round-trips a bare `key:` line instead of
   deleting it. Verified live: progress: with no value survives
   parse -> reconstruct -> re-parse.

2. Unparseable no longer collapses to a bare {}: a new FRONTMATTER_UNPARSEABLE
   Symbol (exported), keyed exactly like the existing #3257 FULL_LINE_COMMENTS
   channel, is carried on the {} returned for malformed/refused YAML. Invisible
   to Object.keys/entries/JSON.stringify/for-in, so the 70 call sites that
   never inspect it are unaffected; wiring the 8 hasFrontmatter sites to
   consult it is a separate change, not done here.

3. Non-scalar object-list items (the four spellings of `- test: a b` that
   js-yaml collapses into one tree shape) are rendered as a canonical
   `key: value[, key2: value2]` string per item, keeping the existing
   array-of-strings value SHAPE. A full corpus differential over all 1702
   tracked markdown files found 11 residual divergences from the legacy
   parser (enumerated in the PR/report), most of them the parser now being
   MORE correct (a dropped quoted top-level key, the block-scalar/phantom-key
   defect, a dropped Unicode key).

4. The #1882 truncation probe still runs the one real parser, but derives
   its key count from js-yaml's own thrown error and mark.line when the
   whole region doesn't parse cleanly (the dominant real truncation shape:
   fence opened, well-formed keys, no closing fence). Verified against both
   the clean-parse and the exception-fallback path.

5. The #3257 comment channel now attributes each pending column-0 comment
   against js-yaml's own parsed top-level key list (matched by literal key
   text, in document order) instead of the legacy ASCII-only key regex, so
   a comment above a Unicode key attaches correctly.

6. Anchors, aliases and merge keys are refused outright (a raw-text
   pre-scan, since FAILSAFE_SCHEMA still resolves them) — corpus occurrences
   today: zero. A 7-line billion-laughs fixture is verified refused rather
   than expanded.

7. A literal U+0000 is swapped for a private-use sentinel before the parse
   and restored in every resulting string afterward, since js-yaml rejects
   NUL unconditionally under every schema.

escapeDoubleQuoted is deleted and reimplemented via js-yaml's dump()
(forced double-quoted style), with control-char hex escapes lowercased to
keep serialized output byte-stable (#1779 emitted lowercase); it keeps its
exported name and signature for its two other call sites (commands.cts,
runtime-artifact-conversion.cts), which need no change.

frontmatterDeepEqual, the comment channel, sliceTopLevelFrontmatterSegments,
regenerateFrontmatterKey's guard, noOpObjectListSetError and
parseMustHavesBlock are all unchanged — retiring them is fork (b) and is
not this phase.

Refs #3881

* fix(#3881): quote template placeholders and preserve unparseable frontmatter

SECURITY.md/UI-SPEC.md/VALIDATION.md wrote frontmatter placeholders as
bare {N}/{phase-slug}/{date}, which is valid YAML flow-mapping syntax
under the vendored js-yaml parser, not the literal placeholder text
intended. Quote them so they parse as strings.

Wire the FRONTMATTER_UNPARSEABLE Symbol (exported but unused) at the
8 call sites in state.cts/state-transition.cts that compute
hasFrontmatter via Object.keys(extractFrontmatter(...)).length > 0 and
reassemble the document without a frontmatter block when false. That
check conflated 'no frontmatter' with 'unparseable frontmatter' (both
parse to {}), so a document with a merge-conflict marker or refused
alias in its frontmatter had that block silently dropped on write.
Each site now preserves the exact raw bytes stripFrontmatter removed
when the marker is set, leaving the genuinely-empty case unchanged.

frontmatter block independently, so the marker binds at the transform layer.

* docs(#3881): record the semantic-migration decision and the counted guard ledger

The maintainer chose the full semantic migration over splitting the rule into
its own epic or patching the scanner, so section 8.1 is answered as "the fork
was ill-posed and the migration is semantic" rather than as (a) or (b).

Also replaces the pre-implementation guess that this phase would shrink the
guard surface with the counted result: excluding vendored third-party lines the
hand-maintained surface is net +307, and frontmatter.cts grew by 68 lines
despite four functions being deleted, because the compatibility layer over
js-yaml is larger than the scanner it replaced. Section 8.1's stated benefit is
therefore not delivered as written; what improved is the kind of code
maintained, not the amount. Decision 6 requires recording that rather than
netting it away.

* fix(#3881): refuse anchors structurally and fold in review findings

ADR-3473 §8.1 review findings, addressed inline:

Finding 1 (BLOCKER): refuseAnchorsAndAliases was a raw-line regex that matched
only the bare-key spelling (key: &x). A quoted key ("a": &x), a flow mapping
({b: &x}) and a flow sequence ([&x, *x]) all define/use the SAME anchor
mechanics while never matching that line shape, so the exact expansion the
guard exists to stop went straight through unrefused (a 303-byte quoted-key
bomb expanded to ~35.8MB). Replaced with js-yaml's own `load` `listener`
callback, which reports `state.anchor` for every event belonging to an
anchored node in every spelling, and throws from inside the callback to abort
before any expansion (~1-2ms vs full expand-then-discard). A merge key with
an alias is still refused (merge always requires a previously anchored node,
so the alias itself trips the listener); a bare merge key with NO alias is no
longer separately refused, documented as intentional: FAILSAFE_SCHEMA never
resolves `!!merge`, so it carries no expansion risk. Table-driven tests added
for all four bypass spellings + merge key, plus a quoted-key-spelled
billion-laughs fixture registered in the adversarial matrix and README.

Finding 2: src/vendor/js-yaml.d.cts's docblock falsely claimed anchors/
aliases were "simply UNREACHABLE from typed code" through the twin. Corrected
to state the truth: anchor/alias resolution is document-level `load`
mechanics reachable through exactly the declared surface, and refusal is
enforced at RUNTIME (Finding 1's listener), not by the type surface.

Finding 3 (MAJOR): the null-byte sentinel (U+E000) round-trip was
non-injective — restoreNullBytesDeep rewrote every U+E000 in the parsed tree
back to NUL, including one the document author legitimately wrote, silently
corrupting it. Now refuses outright whenever the raw region already contains
U+E000 (consistent with the existing anchor/merge-key refusal path), making
the substitution provably injective. Tests added for a real NUL alone
(preserved), a pre-existing U+E000 alone (refused, not corrupted), and both
together (refused, not merged into one byte).

Finding 4 (MAJOR): scripts/lint-vendored-deps.cjs's `srcTwin` field was dead
for a hand-authored row (only read inside the upstream-verbatim branch) —
exactly how Finding 2's stale docblock drifted unnoticed. Added
checkHandAuthoredTwin: every value-level export the twin DECLARES must be an
actual own property of the vendored runtime module at require-time. Tests
added, including a sensor that a declared-but-nonexistent export IS caught.

Finding 5: the existingFm/hasFrontmatter/stripFrontmatter/fmPrefix/
unparseableFm/reassemble preamble, copy-pasted at 7 sites in
state-transition.cts plus a sixth hand-inlined copy in state.cts's
cmdStateCompletePhase, is now one exported helper
(beginFrontmatterReassembly) every site routes through, including the
hand-inlined one. Three call sites (beginPhaseCore, patchCore, updateCore)
keep a literal `body = stripFrontmatter(content)` assignment alongside the
helper call so scripts/lint-state-write-path-drift.cjs's single-hop backward
scan (which does not chase aliases) still sees the strip; stripFrontmatter is
pure/idempotent so the extra call changes nothing observable.

Finding 6: corrected the frontmatter.cts docblock's stale "wiring is a
separate change" claim (the 8 call sites are wired on this branch) and the
changeset's backlink from (#3473) to (#3881).

Finding 7: fixed the lint:ci failures blocking the gate — an
@typescript-eslint/only-throw-error violation from throwing a bare Symbol as
the anchor-detected signal (now a real Error subclass), unused-var warnings
left over from the Finding 5 refactor, a lint-test-file-count cap exceeded by
two migration-specific test files (allowlisted with justification), and the
lint-state-write-path-drift false positive from Finding 5's helper (fixed
above). tests/frontmatter-golden-parity.test.cjs:117's execFileSync already
carried an explicit timeout; no change was needed there.

Golden fixture: added a golden entry for the new
anchor-alias-bomb-quoted.md fixture ({} — matches what the legacy line
scanner would also produce, since it independently dropped every quoted
top-level key). No other corpus document diverges: real .planning/ documents
carry zero anchors/aliases/merge keys/U+E000 today.

Refs #3881

* fix(#3881): fold in second-round review findings

Finding 1 (BLOCKER): tests/frontmatter.test.cjs pinned the pre-migration
ASCII-only key regex for the Unicode fixture; updated to require the 相
key's value now that js-yaml has no such restriction. Audited the rest of
the file for other pre-migration pins (block scalars, quoted keys,
flattened values, empty values, duplicate keys, unclosed blocks, null
bytes) by execution against real fixtures; found none regressed.

Finding 2: parseYamlRegion and escapeDoubleQuoted renamed to
parseGuardedYamlRegion and escapeDoubleQuotedScalar in src/frontmatter.cts
so no function still answers to the deleted hand-rolled scanner's name
(ADR-3473 §8.1 "deleted, not patched"). escapeDoubleQuotedScalar's three
external call sites (src/commands.cts, src/runtime-artifact-conversion.cts)
updated in the same change — a mechanical rename, not an ADR-amendment
matter.

Finding 3 (BLOCKER): fixed a real crash and a silent data-loss bug found
by execution. A top-level key named constructor/__proto__/toString/
valueOf/hasOwnProperty crashed reconstructFrontmatter (bracket read
resolving an inherited Object.prototype member); a key literally named
__proto__ was silently DROPPED entirely (bracket assignment on an
ordinary {} invoked the inherited __proto__ setter instead of creating a
data property). Fixed by building every parsed Frontmatter object with
Object.create(null), and replacing an `in` check with hasOwnProperty.call
in propagateCommentChannel. Added round-trip tests for all five hostile
keys, each with its own leading comment.

Finding 4 (MAJOR): escapeDoubleQuotedScalar's docstring falsely claimed
full byte-stability across the migration. Verified by execution: BEL/NUL/
NEL/NBSP/LS/PS/BOM now emit YAML-named escapes instead of the old hex/raw-
literal forms. Proved round-trip equivalence (each escape re-parses to the
exact source codepoint) and corrected the docstring. Found and fixed a
related real defect while verifying: a lone UTF-16 surrogate was emitted
BARE (scalarNeedsDoubleQuoting didn't trigger), producing genuinely
unparseable YAML that silently collapsed to {} on re-read — extended
scalarNeedsDoubleQuoting to route surrogates through the quoted+escaped
path.

Finding 5 (MAJOR): countKeysBeforeTruncation went silent on 4 real
truncation shapes (unquoted colon, open flow collection, mis-indented
sibling key, refused anchor). Root cause: the mark-based prefix recovery
excluded the very line whose key needed counting, and a mark-less refusal
never entered the recovery branch at all. Fixed by taking the max of two
lower bounds: the longest parser-verified line-prefix, and a raw-text
count of key-shaped lines (reusing the same key-shape pattern this file
already uses for isFrontmatterShaped). Extended test-matrix row A5
table-driven over all 4 regressed shapes.

Finding 6: the design doc's claim that no test owned the #3594 adversarial
fixture corpus was false — consolidation epic #1969 had already folded it
into tests/frontmatter.test.cjs. An earlier commit on this branch
re-created a standalone duplicate under that false premise; folded its
genuinely-new coverage (fixture-ownership check, anchor-bomb fixtures,
block-scalar B1/B2 rows) into frontmatter.test.cjs and deleted the
duplicate file. Corrected the false claims in 40-design.md §3.3.1 and the
ADR's §8.1 note, including the roadmap-sibling claim (no such file exists).

Finding 7: the golden serializer sorted object keys, making it structurally
blind to the key-order-parity invariant ADR-3473 §8.1 actually claims.
Made it order-preserving and regenerated the golden fixture from a
standalone compile of the legacy (pre-#3881) parser at ddde001af; the
current parser matches it with zero undocumented divergences, confirming
key-order parity genuinely holds. Extended row A2 table-driven across 6 of
the remaining 7 transitionCore kinds (all pass) plus documented, by
execution, a newly-discovered 8th-site regression: state.cts's
cmdStateCompletePhase calls the same preservation helper but its result is
clobbered by a later unconditional resync — filed as a distinct finding
rather than fixed here (touches syncAndPreserveStateMd, outside this
change's verified scope).

Refs #3881

* fix(#3881): preserve unparseable frontmatter through the CLI write path

Characterization (executed, before/after shown): case (b), not (a). The
frontmatter FENCE survives — `state complete-phase` on a conflict-marked
STATE.md returns success and a well-formed, freshly-derived frontmatter
block, not a document with no frontmatter at all. But the block's actual
content (the merge-conflict markers, and with them any signal to a human
that the document was in conflict) is silently discarded and replaced.

Root cause was two clobber sites, not one:

1. syncStateFrontmatter (src/state.cts) re-parses the already-preserved
   `transformedContent` from readModifyWriteStateMd, finds {} + the
   FRONTMATTER_UNPARSEABLE marker, and unconditionally rebuilt a fresh
   frontmatter block from the body anyway.
2. Even after (1) is fixed, applyPostSyncPreservation's own
   postFm/applyStatePreservation/authoritativeFm-reassertion machinery
   re-extracts frontmatter from syncedContent, restores curated fields
   from the pre-write snapshot, and reconstructs a NEW block again —
   confirmed live via `state begin-phase`, which still lost the markers
   after fixing (1) alone.

Both are now guarded by the same predicate (isUnparseableFrontmatter,
checking FRONTMATTER_UNPARSEABLE): when the ORIGINAL frontmatter did not
parse and the caller is not on ADR-3408 §8.3's closed "body wins" list,
both functions return their input content unchanged rather than
re-deriving over it. The closed list (cmdStateSync #905,
/gsd-health --repair's REGENERATE_STATE, both routed only through
writeStateMd, which never reaches applyPostSyncPreservation and passes
sanctionedPermanentEmptyFallback=true to syncStateFrontmatter) is
untouched — neither widened nor narrowed; verified by execution that
`state sync` still overwrites the conflict-marked block exactly as before.

Other verbs sharing the same readModifyWriteStateMd path were checked and
were equally affected before this fix: state update, query state.patch,
and state begin-phase all lost the conflict markers (RED, shown by
execution), and all three now preserve them (GREEN). Covered table-driven
in tests/feat-3881-yaml-parser-consequences.test.cjs's new A2b describe
block, which drives the real CLI verbs via runGsdTools — not just the pure
transitionCore layer the earlier A2 rows exercised — plus a control
asserting state sync's body-wins contract is unchanged.

Refs #3881

* fix(#3881): restore the parse surface's prototype and fix remote-runner failures

Root cause of the bulk of the 88 remote-runner failures: extractFrontmatter/parseGuardedYamlRegion handed back Object.create(null) trees for prototype-pollution safety, but assert.deepStrictEqual compares prototypes, so every assertion against a plain object literal failed (57 frontmatter.unit.test.cjs + 5 frontmatter.test.cjs + others). Fixed by keeping the internal construction null-prototype (unchanged) and converting to a plain-prototype tree via Object.defineProperty (never bracket assignment, so __proto__/constructor/toString keys stay safe) at the parseGuardedYamlRegion/unparseableResult return boundary only; the internal FULL_LINE_COMMENTS Symbol channel is copied by reference, not recursed, so its own __proto__-safety is untouched.

Per-class fixes: (1) bomAcrossArtifactTypes was the same prototype bug, no separate code change needed. (2) frontmatter-cli #1660: added objectListFieldWouldLoseData, a broader lossy-field detector alongside the existing byte-identical noOpObjectListSetError -- js-yaml's flattenObjectListItem now correctly includes every sub-key of an object-list item (a real bug fix over the legacy scanner, which silently dropped every field but the first), so a set that drops that now-included data is no longer byte-identical to the original and needs its own guard. (3) uat.test.cjs: updated the pinned expectation for the human_verification quote-stripping artifact -- js-yaml resolves quoting correctly where the legacy regex left an unbalanced quote; documented as an intentional, non-lossy behavior change. (4) smart-entry: added a fallback-only loadWithAmbiguousColonRepair so a column-0 key: value line whose value itself contains an unquoted colon (the #2571 hand-edited-STATE.md shape) round-trips instead of failing the whole frontmatter block closed. (5) frontmatter.unit.test.cjs bracket-array leniency: added a second fallback, repairMalformedInlineArrays, restoring the legacy scanner's tolerant inline-array handling (consecutive/blank commas, unclosed bracket) -- both repairs run ONLY after the primary parse already threw, so well-formed documents are unaffected. (6) prompt-injection-scan: src/frontmatter.cts had a literal U+FEFF BOM embedded in a comment illustrating the #2977 fix; replaced with the U+FEFF text escape. (7) eslint-glob-coverage: allowlisted the new src/vendor/js-yaml.d.cts vendored type declaration, same precedent as the existing re2js.d.cts entry. (8) frontmatter-golden-parity: git ls-files *.md now runs with -c safe.directory=* (process-scoped) so it survives the remote runner's dubious-ownership check without a persistent git config write.

* test(#3881): make golden parity resistant to unrelated tree churn

A corpus-wide snapshot keyed to every tracked *.md file was coupled to mutable-by-design files: .changeset/*.md's pr:0 -> real-PR-number backfill is a required workflow step, not a parser change, yet it turned this suite red. Training people to 'just regenerate the golden' on that kind of failure defeats the point of the snapshot. Exclude .changeset/** from the golden corpus entirely, tolerate tracked *.md files with no golden entry (they postdate the capture) instead of failing on them, keep hard failures for a golden entry whose file has vanished from the tree and for any real parity divergence, and add a coverage floor so the enumeration cannot quietly degrade to comparing a handful of files. Golden regenerated by recompiling the legacy pre-migration parser (git show ddde001af:src/frontmatter.cts) standalone, independent of the current parser, over the same non-changeset corpus.

Refs #3881

* test(#3881): make the parser golden hermetic instead of tree-keyed

This repo merges ~21 commits/day; a 14-day sample measured 937 touches of the
exact files (commands/gsd/*.md, gsd-core/workflows/*.md, agents/*.md,
docs/*.md) the prior golden pinned by tracked path. Any PR editing one of
those files' frontmatter for reasons unrelated to the parser (an
argument-hint addition, an allowed-tools tweak) turned the suite red, and the
reflex fix -- "regenerate the golden" -- overwrote the very snapshot meant to
catch a real regression. Excluding .changeset/** was not enough; the design
itself was wrong: a regression fixture must not be keyed to mutable repo
paths, and a single 376-entry JSON every such PR touches is also a
guaranteed merge-conflict surface.

Rebuilt the fixture to carry its own documents: each of 51 entries stores a
stable id, literal documentText (shrunk from a real ddde001af-era corpus
document), and an expectedParse captured independently from the
pre-migration legacy parser (git show ddde001af:src/frontmatter.cts,
compiled standalone against its byte-identical sibling modules). The test
reads no tracked path, shells out to no git command, and enumerates no tree
-- a PR editing commands/gsd/help.md cannot affect it. Every entry's
reconstruction was verified at capture time to reproduce both the current
and legacy parser's output on the original document; 0 of 51 candidates
were dropped by that check (1, the deliberately-unterminated
unclosed-block.md adversarial fixture, has no closing fence to truncate at
and is stored unshrunk). Kept the 5 documented DIVERGENCES rows (now
diverges:true entries) and the D2 order-preserving structural serializer
that keeps the comparison from passing vacuously; dropped the
tree-enumeration helpers, the coverage floor, the post-capture-skip logic,
and the vanished-file check -- all artifacts of the path-keyed design.

Refs #3881

* fix(#3881): resolve vendored-deps paths independently of cwd shape

Five rows in tests/lint-vendored-deps-manifest.test.cjs failed on
windows-latest CI: the test passed absolute scratch-file paths into
compareFiles()/checkRow(), whose helpers joined every input onto ROOT
via path.join(ROOT, rel), producing garbage when the input was already
absolute. It surfaced on windows-latest specifically because GitHub's
Windows runners checkout the repo on a different drive than TEMP, so
path.relative(REPO_ROOT, tmpFile) returned the absolute path unchanged
(no relative traversal is representable across drives) rather than the
relative form the test assumed. The remote gsd-test runner this repo
gates pushes on is Linux-only and could never have caught this;
GitHub CI's windows-latest job is the only signal that does, and it did.

Fixed the helper itself (scripts/lint-vendored-deps.cjs's new
resolvePath()) to treat an already-absolute input as absolute-in,
absolute-out instead of silently mis-joining it, and updated the test
to pass the scratch file's absolute path directly rather than relying
on a relative conversion that is not always representable. Kept every
mutation-sensor assertion intact and added coverage proving
resolvePath is a no-op for relative inputs and correctly passes
absolute ones through unchanged.

Refs #3881

* fix(#3881): warn when state sync regenerates over unparseable frontmatter

state sync (ADR-3408 §8.3's sanctioned regenerate path) correctly
overwrites an unparseable frontmatter block per its 'body wins'
contract — that overwrite behavior is unchanged here. The defect was
the silence: synced:true/exit 0 gave no signal that the existing
block (including git merge-conflict markers) could not be parsed and
was destroyed, per ADR-3473 §8.5 ('a derived conclusion may not be
reported as authoritative when the derivation dropped input it could
not resolve') and §8.4 ('failure is a value').

Adds a gsd: warning — ... (#3881) line on stderr, matching the
existing #3573 precedent, and surfaces the same disclosure in the
JSON result's existing changes[] array so a machine consumer sees it
too. Exit code and synced:true are left unchanged — sync did what its
contract says.

REGENERATE_STATE (/gsd-health --repair's sibling on the same
sanctioned-regenerate list) is DESTRUCTIVE-risk and unconditionally
refused by applyRepairs's dispatcher before runRepairAction ever runs
(src/health-diagnostic.cts), so it is not a live path today and is not
in scope for this fix.

* revert(#3881): restore exit-0 result envelopes for state errors

Reverts 9638f2936 and its changeset. The change was wrong and the revert is
the correction.

This repo distinguishes two error mechanisms deliberately. error() in
src/io.cts writes to stderr and calls process.exit(1) -- the hard-failure
path. output({error: ...}) writes a JSON result envelope to stdout and returns
normally with exit 0. The reverted commit converted 23 result-envelope sites
into hard failures, which is a different contract, not a bug fix.

tests/state-contract.test.cjs's errorPathDoesNotPublish asserts the envelope
contract directly -- a failing command exits 0 with a JSON error envelope and
must not publish state.json -- and the remote matrix run caught it along with
four cases in the QA scenario walk. Thirteen tests in tests/state.test.cjs that
the original commit rewrote were encoding that real contract, not the bug it
claimed; they are restored.

Whether an error envelope on stdout with exit 0 is the right CLI design is a
genuine question, and it is section 8.4's rule ('failure is a value') with its
own phase. It is not something to flip inside this PR.

* test(#3881): keep the frontmatter mutation shard inside its time budget

The Stryker (frontmatter) shard hit the documented 15-minute (900s) shard
cap. Root cause is NOT row-level spawn overhead (contrast the #2790/
core-utils precedent): the three shard test files' own logic runs in
~413ms total (356+30+27ms) with all 392 assertions passing. Instead,
src/frontmatter.cts grew from ~825 to 1496 lines (+671/-187) migrating to
the vendored YAML parser, proportionally growing the mutant count Stryker
generates for gsd-core/bin/lib/frontmatter.cjs. Stryker's command runner
bills the full 'node --test <3 files>' invocation once per mutant, and
node:test's default per-file process isolation forks a child process for
each of the three files on every one of those invocations — pure fork
overhead multiplied by a much larger mutant population.

Fix: scripts/mutation-matrix.cjs COVERED.frontmatter now declares
isolation: 'none', and .github/workflows/mutation.yml passes
--test-isolation=${{ matrix.isolation }} (defaulting to 'process' — i.e.
unchanged behavior — for the other 8 shards, which were not individually
audited for cross-file state leakage under shared-process execution).
Measured locally via node:test's run() API on the exact 3-file set:
isolation:'process' took ~593ms vs isolation:'none' ~478ms for the same
392 passing assertions. The true CI-shard number can only be confirmed
on the GitHub Actions run (Stryker cannot run locally, and 'node --test'
is hard-blocked in this environment).

Refs #3881

* test(#3881): register the vendored-parser tests in the frontmatter mutation shard

stryker.config.mjs's own rule ("Keep this list in sync with the tests
arrays in scripts/mutation-matrix.cjs COVERED") was violated: #3881 grew
src/frontmatter.cts from ~825 to 1496 lines but its new tests
(tests/feat-3881-yaml-parser-consequences.test.cjs,
tests/frontmatter-golden-parity.test.cjs,
tests/frontmatter-roundtrip.property.test.cjs, and +167 lines in
tests/frontmatter.test.cjs) were never added to the frontmatter shard's
tests array, so Stryker's mutants in the new vendored-js-yaml adapter had
nothing constraining them. PR #3888 measured 55.8% against the 65 floor
(748 killed / 593 survived / 17 timeout) and the shard was separately
cancelled at 15m04s against the 15-minute per-shard cap.

Registers all four files (each earns its slot on evidence of a unique
constraining assertion, documented inline), gives the shard a
measured/projected 180-minute budget via a new per-module
timeoutMinutes field threaded through mutation.yml's job-level
timeout-minutes the same way isolation is threaded, and removes the
prior isolation:'none' override (re-measured at this file-set size, its
savings are within run-to-run noise, not worth the unaudited
cross-file-state-leakage risk).

Closed the frontmatter shard's 63.03%-vs-65 gap with new behavioral tests in
tests/feat-3881-yaml-parser-consequences.test.cjs, each paired with a documented
near-miss: frontmatterDeepEqual's array-order/length/type-mismatch/key-order

leading/trailing-whitespace and dash/surrogate triggers (via reconstructFrontmatter),
repairAmbiguousColonValues' already-quoted vs ambiguous-colon repair paths (via

Add an injectable --matrix seam to scripts/check-mutation-score-ratchet.cjs and point the CLI rows at a synthetic module + synthetic floor built via a temp fixture, so the rows are indifferent to any real module's floor moving while still exercising the same fail/pass behaviour.

Restores the function plus its post-throw fallback path (loadWithAmbiguousColonRepair) only; repairMalformedInlineArrays and splitLegacyInlineArrayItems stay deleted, reverified against the full frontmatter test shard. Adds a frontmatter-level regression row in tests/feat-3881-yaml-parser-consequences.test.cjs so the dependency is visible where the function lives.

ddde001af6 enhance(#3873): the STATE.md schema — one owner, generated artifacts (#3880)
* test(#3873): failing-first locale parity, plus tripwires for what must not move

Pins ADR-3473 §8.8 at the artifact a reader actually sees. The English STATE.md
reference carries a Status lifecycle section that is missing from all four
translations — the section documenting the status enum whose clobbering is
#3853. The test derives the heading set rather than hard-coding the missing
one, and names the locale and the heading when it fails.

Two tripwires that must pass today and after. The field-drift guard still
catches a re-derived fallback ladder: §8.8 instructs deleting that script, and
that instruction rests on a wrong premise about what it guards, so the test
stops a future reader from deleting it on the ADR's word. And last_activity's
label resolution is pinned to what ships today, because it is declared in one
of the two tables this phase consolidates and not the other — the
consolidation must not silently pick a side.

The locale test buckets under docs rather than state, which is what it tests;
that bucket is allowlisted with justification rather than folded into an
unrelated docs suite. It reads only markdown, so it carries no allow-test-rule
marker — a marker there would suppress nothing and would grow the unverified
pool against its ceiling.

Refs #3873

* feat(#3873): one schema owns the STATE.md key set, three tables become projections

ADR-3473 §8.8. The key set was declared in four places that had to agree by
hand and already did not: FIELD_CLASSIFICATION, FRONTMATTER_BODY_SOURCE,
FRONTMATTER_KEY_TO_BODY_LABEL and buildStateFrontmatter's emit behavior. One
frozen null-prototype schema now declares each key's type, enum, cardinality,
source, preservation, body source, body label, accepted parse shapes and
whether it is emitted unconditionally; the three tables are derived from it at
module load.

The projections are byte-identical to the literals they replace, key order
included, and the parity tests compare against verbatim copies of today's
tables rather than re-deriving both sides from the schema — a parity test fed
from one source proves nothing, which is how a consolidation ships a changed
policy under a green test.

last_activity was the live disagreement: present in one table, absent from the
other. The schema declares what ships today rather than the tidier answer, and
a test pins it.

The schema is a leaf module and owns the four field-policy types, re-exported
from state-transition so existing importers are untouched — the same split
health-diagnostic-types made to break a CJS require cycle.

Refs #3873

* feat(#3873): generate the schema-derived regions, parity-check the prose tables

ADR-3473 §8.8's generator half. gen-state-md-docs.cjs owns marked regions in
the shipped template and all five reference docs, follows gen-features.cjs's
fail-closed contract, and is wired into regen:derived and lint:generated-sync.

The Status lifecycle section was missing from all four translations — the
section documenting the status enum behind #3853 — and is now generated into
every locale. Field cardinality is a new generated table: pure schema data,
no prose, so nothing to lose.

The Field-reference and Status-values tables are parity-CHECKED rather than
generated. Their Purpose, When-populated and Matched-text columns are
genuinely hand-translated per locale, and §8.8 itself says prose stays
hand-translated; generating them from an English registry would overwrite four
locales' translations on every write. The row set is checked against the schema
instead, so a key added to one and not the other fails, which is what field
drift actually means. Building that check found last_activity_desc
undocumented in all five tables.

Three keys the docs describe are absent from the schema — active_phase,
next_action, next_phases. They are grandfathered by name, not by wildcard, so a
fourth fails: a declared gap with a forcing function rather than a silent one.

Refs #3873

* fix(#3873): declare what the parsers do, and close the shape-parity gap

Two declarations in the new schema described intended behavior rather than
actual — the defect class this epic exists to end, committed inside the epic.
Both were caught by executing the parsers instead of reading their docstrings.

current_plan.acceptedShapes claimed ['N', 'N of M']. Standalone, the hybrid
shape errors; the path that looks like support is parseInt truncating '2 of 5'
to 2 and discarding the rest. Narrowed to ['N']. The parser is deliberately NOT
fixed here: that is #3784 and PR #3791 is already doing it. When #3791 lands
this row must widen, and the shape test will go red until it does — the schema
and the parser cannot drift apart quietly, which is what §8.8's checked-not-
generated rule is for.

STATUS_LIFECYCLE_ENUM claimed to be the closed set status can hold.
normalizeStateStatus passes unrecognized prose through unchanged, so it is not
closed at runtime. The seven members are the canonical values it maps onto; the
docstring now says that and the test asserts the real lenient contract.

Closes the acceptance item that a test asserts the parsers accept exactly the
declared shapes: the check is table-driven over every row carrying
acceptedShapes, guarded against passing vacuously on an empty set, and fails
loudly if a future row has no registered driver. Adds the unwired-label throw
and the fast-check property that every projection agrees with its schema row.

frontmatter a generated region wrapped it in its own yaml fence ahead of the
markdown fence, so extractFileTemplate and readShippedStateTemplateBody — which
both match the single markdown block — found the heading first, not the
frontmatter. That breaks the contract every new project's STATE.md is created
from: bug #21 and epic #1969 B8 pin that the File Template block starts with
frontmatter and carries gsd_state_version.

The markers now sit inside the single markdown fence, so the fence opens before
the frontmatter and the region still ends ahead of the heading. Same layout as
before this phase, with markers embedded rather than a second fence.

Row 27 existed to catch exactly this and did not, because it was writer-seeded:
it asserted against the generator's own output shape, so it passed on the broken
template. It now parses the fence the way production does and was verified to
fail against the broken shape before being trusted against the fixed one. A test
that would not have caught the bug it exists to prevent is worse than no test.

The emitted-attribution failure was separate and the fragment was the wrong
remedy: gsd-core/templates/state.md self-attributes under a verbatim-copy
identity rule, so a diff touching it needs no acknowledgment. Fragment deleted
rather than left explaining nothing.

* docs(#3873): how to change the STATE.md schema

The phase gate was right and my docs artifact was wrong. I listed
lint:generated-sync as the second enablement step, which is a verification
command dressed as one, and then claimed a one-step sequence owed no how-to.

The real sequence is build:lib then regen:derived, and the ordering is a trap:
the generator reads the COMPILED schema, so regenerating before building
regenerates against the previous schema and commits artifacts that look
plausible while disagreeing with the code just written. A reference table
cannot carry an ordering dependency; that is what the how-to test is for.

The page covers adding, changing and removing a key, every reason code the
check emits and what to do about each, what is generated versus hand-translated
and why the two prose-bearing tables are parity-checked instead of generated,
adding a language, and the three grandfathered keys. Indexed from docs/README.md.

3b18eff388 enhance(#3872): what a command reports it wrote — the transaction diff (#3878)
* test(#3872): failing-first regressions for what a command reports it wrote

Pins ADR-3473 §8.7 at the consumer's output. state planned-phase advances
current_phase on disk and never reports it, and reports progress.total_plans
which reconcileReportedFields silently drops because it cannot resolve a
dotted key against nested frontmatter. Both directions of #3818's own
before/after diff, reproduced against the real CLI.

Also pins the two properties the change must not break: a fully-failed patch
still reports an empty updated array, which is what state.cts:607's success
boolean depends on; and two content-identical writes differ in last_updated
alone. That second one measured state_head NOT to be ambient — it is
recomputed every write but only changes when git HEAD moved — so the
provenance exclusion is a one-element set, with a companion test pinning that
state_head does change when HEAD moves.

Refs #3872

* feat(#3872): derive what a command reports from the transaction diff

ADR-3473 §8.7. reconcileReportedFields compared the transform's own output
against persisted bytes and then filtered what preservation had restored by
its FIELD_CLASSIFICATION policy. Both are replaced by one comparison of
persisted against the pre-write state the transaction already holds, surfaced
to the command through the same caller-allocates out-param idiom divergedFields
established.

Both of the old directions fall out of that single comparison: a field the
transform reported but the pipeline discarded is persisted-equals-snapshot and
drops out, and a field nobody reported but the write moved is different and
appears. The classification filter is deleted, not relocated — no policy test
remains anywhere in the reporting path.

Reporting is at dotted-leaf granularity, enumerated from the progress.* rows
FIELD_CLASSIFICATION already declares rather than by walking user data to
arbitrary depth. That closes a live defect: plannedPhaseCore already pushed
progress.total_plans and reconcileReportedFields silently dropped it, because
a flat hasOwnProperty cannot resolve a dotted key against nested frontmatter.
Current Position was lost the same way and is fixed in the same place.

The exclusion is one field, last_updated, and it is by provenance rather than
by classification: it is the only field measured to change on every write
regardless of content. state_head was measured NOT to qualify — it is
recomputed every write but only changes when git HEAD moved. Without that
exclusion state.patch's success boolean, which is updated.length > 0, would be
permanently true and a fully-failed patch would report success.

Refs #3872

* fix(#3872): cover the matrix, and close a prototype-chain read the coverage found

Review found 20 of 29 test-matrix rows uncovered. Covering them found two real
defects rather than merely documenting the intended behavior.

bodyLabelFor read FRONTMATTER_KEY_TO_BODY_LABEL with a bare bracket index on a
plain object literal, so a field named __proto__, constructor or toString
resolved to the inherited prototype member and leaked a non-string value into
the updated array. Fixed with an own-property check, mirroring the discipline
resolveFrontmatterPath already had. The security-relevant matrix row proved it
before the fix.

applyPostSyncPreservation still carried its own inline copy of the value
comparison alongside the new stateFieldValuesDiffer, which is two live copies
of one rule introduced by the epic that exists to remove them. Routed through
the single owner.

Adds the fast-check property that a field appears iff its persisted value
differs from the snapshot, the string-versus-number representation boundary,
dotted paths into missing parents and into scalars, deleted and added keys,
and the preserve-if-placeholder pair that proves no classification test
survives in the reporting path.

Refs #3872

* docs(#3872): document the transaction diff on the write path

The updated array's contract belongs where the write path is described. States
the iff rule, leaf granularity, the single provenance exclusion and why
state_head is deliberately not one, and closes with the consequence a reader
actually needs: these arrays are longer than they used to be, because they used
to under-report.

Refs #3872

* fix(#3872): a derived leaf materializing is not a change the caller made

The remote matrix caught 17 failures with two causes. The substantive one is
that progress is source: disk, and the disk cannot change during a STATE.md
write — the write only touches STATE.md. So a progress block appearing where
the snapshot had none is the scanner populating a document that had never been
synced. The bytes moved; nothing the caller did moved them.

That is the same shape as last_updated one level up, so the provenance rule is
generalized rather than special-cased: a field appears iff its persisted value
changed for a reason attributable to this write's action, and two cases are not
attributable — a field stamped unconditionally on every save, and a declared
derived leaf materializing from a source that did not change. Crucially this
does not consult the preservation policy, so the filter §8.7 deleted stays
deleted; it uses the declared leaf set to know which keys are derived.

This had a second production consumer the earlier review concluded did not
exist: cmdStatePlannedPhase gates publishStateContract on updated.length, and
its own inline comment predicts exactly this failure. A no-op call was
publishing state.json.

advancePlanNoOpDoesNotPublish genuinely encoded pre-§8.7 behavior and moves. E2
and E6 had carved out total_plans as reportable-on-materialization, an error
introduced earlier on this branch rather than a pre-existing pin, and are
corrected with it.

1863f5569c enhance(#3871): the state transaction — mandatory snapshot, open()/rebuild() (#3874)
* test(#3871): failing-first regressions for the dropped curated progress block

Pins ADR-3473 §8.6 / #3756 at the consumer's output: state record-session and
state add-decision on an archived-milestone project drop the curated progress
frontmatter entirely, exit 0, and report nothing. Reproduced against the real
CLI before writing the tests, not inferred from the issue text.

Also adds the unit-level probe that applyStatePreservation's preserve-always
row is inert on a resyncing write, and an over-preservation guard that an
empty project is never inflated.

Refs #3871

* feat(#3871): make the STATE.md pre-write snapshot mandatory via open()/rebuild()

ADR-3473 §8.6. StatePreservationInput's nullable preFm and the always-present
preFmSnapshot were the same extractFrontmatter call, one of them nulled on
resync — a policy flag baked into a snapshot. Both collapse into a single
StateTransaction whose snapshot cannot be absent: openStateTransaction()
applies preservation, rebuildStateTransaction() does not, and both carry the
snapshot because the reporting phase needs it either way. An absent snapshot
is now a construction failure; an empty one stays legal, because that is what
a document with no parseable frontmatter honestly has.

writeStateMd requires a rebuild transaction, which types ADR-3408 §8.3's
closed exception list at both call sites (state sync, health --repair) instead
of matching them as strings in a ratcheted baseline.

Fixes the dropped curated progress block: an all-zero or absent derived total
set is an unmeasured scan, not a measurement, so the curated block stands.
Also fixes two defects surfaced while building — preserve-always reported a
mutation even when it restored an identical value, and it re-entered the
curated object by reference, which would alias the snapshot the next phase
diffs against.

Refs #3871

* fix(#3871): close the three remaining subsumed defects and restore the arm the type does not replace

Review of the first two commits found four things.

The guard shrink deleted the seam-bypass axis whole, but only its
writeStateMd( arm became redundant. Its other arm catches a call site
re-assembling syncStateFrontmatter + applyPostSyncPreservation instead of the
owned composition, which the transaction type does not make unrepresentable
and which #3469 found live. Restored as findCompositionBypasses, terminal
rather than ratcheted.

Three of the four issues this phase claims were untouched. All three are the
epic's own shape and are fixed at the seam: current_phase_name is reasserted
from the curated value when the caller names none, and cmdStateJson stops
carrying a hand-maintained list parallel to FIELD_CLASSIFICATION and projects
it instead.

The construction failure that is the point of this phase had no test. Every
enumerated matrix row now has one, including the measured-versus-unmeasured
coercion boundary and a seeded property that no curated key is ever dropped.

ADR-3473 §8.6 said the guard 'keeps only its raw-write check'. Verified
against next: there was no raw-write check, and four other checks it does not
name. Amended in place with the evidence. ARCHITECTURE.md separately
advertised a preservation policy the code had deleted.

Refs #3871

* fix(#3871): do not let the unmeasured-scan rule block an explicitly-requested resync

The remote matrix caught over-preservation, the failure this phase's own
negative space says must not happen. state update Progress re-derives the
block from the body the caller just rewrote; on a project with no phase dirs
the derivation yields zero totals, the unmeasured rule read that as 'the scan
measured nothing', and the stale curated percent was restored over the resync
the user asked for.

preserve-always already said what the missing condition was: never overwrite
unless the caller explicitly names this field. explicitProgressField carries
it and is derived from shouldResyncStateProgress, not set by hand at a call
site, so it cannot drift from what the caller asked for.

Two defects found in the same mechanism and fixed with it. readModifyWriteStateMd
enumerates its option keys, so a new option was silently dropped rather than
rejected. And the raw-write axis captured its first argument up to the first
comma, which lands inside a nested path.join, so a write to a STATE.md literal
was invisible to it — the prove-it-can-fail test caught that one immediately.

No test assertion was weakened; all three frontmatter rows encode #3242, #1969
B3 and #1972 and stand unchanged.

Refs #3871

* docs(#3871): record why the raw-write check is kept, not why it was named

The amendment justified findRawStateWrites as 'written because §8.6 requires
it to exist', which is cargo-culting the contract and would have been the
wrong reason to keep anything. The real reason is that writeStateMd acquires
the STATE.md lockfile and a raw fs.writeFileSync acquires nothing, so this is
a lock bypass and lost-update is the #500/#905/#1230 family — and after this
phase it is the one reachable path into the file that nothing else covers.

Also records why ADR-3408 §8.6's deletion of the 'clear' policy is not the
precedent it looks like: 'clear' was dead vocabulary in a closed enum, this is
coverage of a reachable path.

596540f864 feat(#3227): publish machine-readable state contract at step boundaries (#3824)
* feat(#3227): publish machine-readable state contract at step boundaries

Adds src/state-contract.cts, a best-effort publisher that writes
.planning/state.json (contract 1.0.0) at 11 step-boundary commands, so
external tools read a versioned contract instead of parsing STATE.md and
ROADMAP.md heuristically.

Composes existing owners rather than re-deriving: phase rows come from a
new locateProgressTable extracted from deriveProgressFromRoadmap (so the
snapshot can never disagree with GSD's own progress counters), milestone
identity from getMilestoneInfo, and next from classifyProject. Owners are
required lazily to avoid the state -> state-contract -> smart-entry ->
state require cycle.

Also fixes a pre-existing defect in scripts/lint-test-file-count.cjs
(maintainer-approved as a second concern): testEffectivePrefix never
stripped the suite qualifier, so 65 dotted test files counted against no
module and 9 mis-bucketed into a shorter one. Allowlist re-baselined for
the 74 files the gate can now see.

The two hostile-input fixtures used a literal phrase from

The module was registered at minScore 50, the ratchet's minimum permitted
floor for a newly-registered module whose score had not been measured. This
PR's own Stryker shard measured 66.25% (run 32769289750, job 97565813640),
so the floor moves to floor(measured) - 1 = 65, per the rule the registry
documents.

66.25 is below TARGET_MUTATION_SCORE (80), so this stays a ratchet
candidate: raise as the tests improve, never lower.

46f14c621e fix(#3583): one percent per write — route update-progress through the shared computation (#3634)
* test(3583): failing-first coverage for one percent per write

state update-progress computes plan throughput (summaries/plans) for stdout and the
body Progress bar, while the same write re-derives frontmatter progress.percent as
min(planFraction, phaseFraction). Neither consults the other, so mid-phase the file
contradicts itself and state json disagrees with the verb that just wrote it.

These tests fail on that: equality across stdout, body bar, frontmatter and state json
on fixtures where the two fractions differ, plus a derivation-parity test that fails if
completedPhases is ever derived by summary parity instead of verification-passed status.

Also updates three pre-existing tests that pinned stdout to the plan-throughput value
(50->0, 50->0, 100->0). Those fixtures have summarized-but-unverified phases, so the old
expectations encoded the bug; changing them IS the fix, as the issue states explicitly.

* fix(3583): one percent per write — route the verb through the shared computation

RED proven at 7dbbb2d2: 9 failures — the new cross-surface equality tests, the withhold
test, and the pre-existing tests whose expectations encoded the bug.

state update-progress computed plan throughput (summaries/plans) for stdout and the body
Progress bar, while the SAME write re-derived frontmatter progress.percent as
min(planFraction, phaseFraction) through a separate path. Neither consulted the other, so
on any project where plan throughput ran ahead of phase completion — the normal mid-phase
state — the file contradicted itself and state json disagreed with the verb that had just
written it. Exit 0, no signal.

This is not a dispute about which metric is right. The min cap is deliberate (#3242 Bug B)
and is untouched; the fix aligns the printed and body values WITH it. Verified by diff:
computeProgressPercent's definition and cmdStateSync are both unmodified.

The verb now takes its percent from buildStateFrontmatter — the single owner of the
isPhaseComplete-based completedPhases count and the ROADMAP-union totalPhases logic that
the frontmatter sync later uses inside the same read-modify-write. Both calls hit the same
disk-scan cache against the same on-disk state, so they cannot disagree. Reusing that
owner, rather than re-deriving completedPhases locally, is the point: a second
almost-identical derivation is the very defect class being fixed, and a parity test now
fails if anyone swaps it for summary parity.

The first cut fell back to plan throughput when the shared computation withheld. That
reintroduced the defect in a rarer case — stdout would print a number the frontmatter
deliberately did not contain — so it is gone. The verb now withholds in the same shape as
its existing #3217 and #3233 guards. That path is reachable, not theoretical: a bare vX.Y
token in ROADMAP prose with no versioned heading leaves the milestone unbounded while both
existing guards see a COMPLETE scope. Covered by a test that also asserts state json omits
the percent, proving it is the same withhold rather than a divergent local computation.

Three pre-existing tests pinned stdout to plan throughput (50->0, 50->0, 100->0); their
fixtures have summarized-but-unverified phases, so those expectations encoded the bug.
Updating them is the fix, as the issue states.

Fixes #3583

* fix(3583): source the reported counts from the same milestone window as the percent

The adversarial pass found the first cut left the SAME defect one field over.

cmdStateUpdateProgress still reported completed/total from the top-of-function scan,
which calls listMilestonePhaseDirs with NO versionOverride — the auto-derived current
milestone — while percent now came from buildStateFrontmatter, whose scan scopes by
versionOverride: storedMilestone. getMilestonePhaseFilter shows those can select
different milestone windows, and #3017's own comment warns about exactly that mis-bind.
So a single JSON object could report a percent inconsistent with its own counts: the
self-contradiction this issue was filed to close, relocated rather than removed.

Counts now come from the same buildStateFrontmatter result as the percent. Proven on a
real divergent-milestone fixture where a preamble phase leaks into the auto-derived scan
but is excluded from the stored-milestone-scoped one: with the fix stashed the verb emits
{percent:0, completed:1, total:2}; with it applied, {percent:0, completed:1, total:1}.
The guard scan remains, gating only the #3217/#3233 withholds.

Also corrected a comment that overstated caching. Only the phase/plan disk scan is shared
between the two buildStateFrontmatter calls; getMilestoneInfo re-reads and re-parses
ROADMAP.md and readGitHeadSha spawns a bounded git rev-parse, and both now run twice per
invocation. Threading a precomputed frontmatter through the write seam to avoid it was
rejected: that seam is the shared ADR-3408 §8.3 composition with three other callers and
heavily-documented invariants, and this is not the change to renegotiate it. The comment
now says what is and is not cached instead of implying the second call is free.

Standards: six new assertions matched raw STATE.md body text the code under test had just
produced — the pattern CONTRIBUTING bans by name. They now extract the body Progress field
with the repo's own field extractor and assert the parsed percent, so the check survives
rewording of the rendered bar. The acceptance criterion still verifies the bar; only what
it asserts on moved.

Also trimmed ~50 lines of narration around a ~15-line change into a named helper, and
fixed a stale test comment that still claimed 100% next to assertions expecting 0%.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fixes #3578

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

Review findings from two orthogonal passes, all fixed inline.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Review findings: cmdStateJson passed storedMilestone=undefined so the new
withhold never fired on the read surface — state json reported the dir
count while the persisted file preserved the stored total (exactly the

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Three walls matter more than the new coverage:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Implements ADR-3408 section 8.3 as amended.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Two spec-review gaps, both real.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Measured, not assumed:

  design. 5 field-name-keyed getFieldClassification('literal') branches
  plus 2 declared FieldPreservation members with no executor at all
  (derive, clear). This is the fail-first evidence for the refactor.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Implements ADR-3408 sections 8.1, 8.2 and 8.6.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Also adds the changeset fragment.

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

Standards axis, both hard violations:

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

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

Contract tension, resolved rather than left:

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

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

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

Isolated security review, MEDIUM, confidence 8/10.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  actual   'current_phase_name'
  expected 'current_plan'

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Three findings from the orthogonal review pass, all fixed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2b20b7e2cd fix(#3257): preserve full-line frontmatter comments through the parse→reconstruct pair + syncStateFrontmatter (#3387)
* test(#3257: full-line frontmatter comments survive the parse→reconstruct pair AND a mutating state verb

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

RED — fails on next; fix follows.

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

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

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

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

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

RED — fails on next; fix follows.

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

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

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

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

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