7203011400 feat(#3072): ship the deferred MCP served catalog (resources + prompts) (#3083)
* test(#3072): add failing-first coverage for the mcp served catalog

55 input-class rows from the phase test matrix, across four suites: the
catalog module over injected readFile/readDir seams, the protocol surface
through handleMessage, the install-vs-catalog parity gate, and fast-check
properties for uri round-trip, traversal refusal, and pagination partition.

src/mcp-catalog.cts lands as a skeleton whose functions throw, so the suites
fail on BEHAVIOR rather than on a missing module. The REASON enum is real so
tests assert typed codes instead of message prose.

Hostile coverage for the one client-controlled path surface (resources/read):
dot-dot and backslash traversal, percent- and double-encoded traversal,
absolute posix and windows paths, file:// scheme, null byte, symlink escape,
unindexed sibling, non-string and empty uri, wrong root segment.

IO faults are injected by monkeypatching the seam, never chmod 0o000 - root
bypasses mode bits, so a permission-based test silently passes with zero
coverage in root CI.

* feat(#3072): serve the mcp catalog as resources and prompts

gsd-mcp-server now serves GSD's own content alongside its three tools: the
workflow, reference and command tree as MCP resources (resources/list, cursor
paginated, and resources/read over gsd://<segment>/<relpath> uris) and the 71
commands/gsd/*.md as MCP prompts keyed by bare command name. initialize
advertises resources and prompts, and deliberately does not advertise
subscribe or listChanged - the catalog is fixed for a server process lifetime,
so declaring a notification we never send would be a lie a host acts on.

Composition scope is SHARED, not re-declared. shouldCompose lives in
src/mcp-catalog.cts and bin/install.js now imports it instead of carrying its
own regex, so the served catalog and the installed file floor cannot drift on
what gets composed. Proven behavior-preserving across all 2871 tracked paths
plus windows-backslash, absolute and near-miss-prefix cases: zero mismatches.
tests/mcp-catalog-parity.test.cjs asserts served text equals the installer
composition-stage text over the real tree, with anti-vacuity guards requiring
both a marker-bearing workflow and a non-composed file in the comparison set.

Two measurements corrected the literal issue text. Composition is scoped to
gsd-core/workflows/ only, because a reference or command that documents marker
syntax with an unfenced example would otherwise be parsed as carrying a real
marker and have that line lossily dropped. And parity is asserted at the
composition stage rather than against an emitted runtime tree, since install
applies per-runtime path rewrites afterwards and the catalog is host-agnostic,
so byte equality with any one runtime would be false by construction.

resources/read is the one client-controlled path surface and is guarded in two
independent layers: the uri must be an exact key in the prebuilt index, which
defeats every traversal string by construction, and the mapped path is then
re-checked with validatePath so a symlink planted inside a root after indexing
is still refused.

Also fixes a real drift defect found while here: SERVER_VERSION was hardcoded
1.7.0 while the package is at 1.9.1. It now resolves lazily from VERSION or
package.json, reusing the precedent in runtime-artifact-conversion.

Closes #3072

* test(#3072): make the catalog parity gate drive the real installer

Review found the parity gate vacuous: it never imported or spawned
bin/install.js, and recomputed the installer side with the SAME shouldCompose
and composeWorkflow the catalog calls internally. It therefore proved only
that src/mcp-catalog.cts is self-consistent. The old row 52 compared
shouldCompose against a regex literal frozen in the test file rather than
against the installer at all. An inline divergent regex re-added to
bin/install.js - the exact regression ADR-1671 asks this gate to catch - would
have left the suite green.

The gate now spawns a real bin/install.js and compares the composition
DECISION, observed as gsd:section marker survival, against what the catalog
serves for the same files. Marker presence is the right observable because the
installer applies per-runtime path rewrites after composing while the catalog
applies none, so raw byte equality between the two surfaces is false by
construction and must not be asserted.

Sensitivity was proven, not assumed: overlaying the shouldCompose export that
bin/install.js imports so it always returns false makes a real spawned install
leave autonomous.md's markers in place while the catalog still strips them,
and the row 48 assertion diverges.

Anti-vacuity guards are kept and extended - the comparison set must be
non-empty, must contain a workflow that actually carries markers, must contain
a file the predicate declines to compose, and the install must have emitted a
non-zero file count. The marker-documenting reference case has no instance in
the real tree, so it uses an overlay fixture built with the same technique
workflow-fragments-emission.install.test.cjs already uses.

Renamed to .install.test.cjs so it lands in the install suite it now belongs to.

* test(#3072): retarget the unknown-method assertion off a now-implemented method

tests/gsd-mcp-server.test.cjs used 'resources/read' as its example of an
UNKNOWN JSON-RPC method. The served catalog implements that method, so it now
returns -32602 (no uri supplied) rather than -32601. The remote runner caught
it deterministically on both linux lanes: -32602 !== -32601.

The test's intent is still correct and worth keeping, so it is corrected
rather than deleted or weakened. It now uses 'resources/subscribe', which the
server deliberately does not implement and deliberately does not advertise in
initialize's capabilities, because it never sends the corresponding
notification. That turns the assertion into a real contract - the advertised
capability surface and the implemented method surface agree - instead of an
arbitrary method name a future feature could invalidate the same way.

Swept the rest of the suite for other assertions pinning the newly implemented
methods; this was the only one.

* chore(#3072): backfill changeset PR number 3083

* test(#3072): make the catalog fake fs separator-agnostic for windows

CI caught this on windows-latest (22 and 24): every catalog fixture indexed
ZERO entries, surfaced by the anti-vacuity guards as 'fixture catalog must
actually index resources for this property to mean anything'.

Mechanism: makeFakeFs keyed its dirMap/fileMap on POSIX-joined paths
(${root}/${rel}), while production buildCatalog looks paths up with
path.join, which is backslash-separated on Windows. Every lookup missed,
tryReadDir returned null, and the catalog came back empty.

Production is NOT at fault and is unchanged. The same CI run proves it: on
windows-latest the real-filesystem tests all passed, including 'installer
composition decision matches the served catalog for every file in the real
installed tree' and the row-51 non-vacuity proof against a real spawned
installer. A real Windows fs accepts both separators; the FAKE did not, so the
fake was the unfaithful one and is what changed.

Lookup keys are now normalized unconditionally with .replace(/\\/g,'/') in
readDir and readFile - never path.sep-conditional, never platform-gated. The
row-42/43 injected-fault wrappers got the same treatment, since they compared
raw production paths against POSIX-literal fixtures.

No assertion was weakened, and the anti-vacuity guards that caught this are
untouched - they are the reason this surfaced as a loud failure instead of a
suite that silently asserted nothing on Windows.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #2996

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #2996

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

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

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

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

ed360cd99f chore(#2995): extend fragment emission to agents/ and reclaim size-cap headroom (#3058)
* feat(#2995): extend fragment emission to agents/ across every read point

Epic #1671 Phase 6.4. `composeWorkflow` stripped `<!-- gsd:section -->` markers
only for `gsd-core/workflows/`, so a marked agent shipped its markers verbatim
into every runtime — and agent text is loaded into a subagent's context on every
dispatch.

The issue proposed widening the `copyWithPathReplacement` guard. That is a no-op
for agents: agents never traverse that function. Agent content is read for
emission at five independent points, and the obvious chokepoint
`stageAgentsForProfile` short-circuits on the DEFAULT `full` profile
(`skills === '*'` returns the real unstaged directory), so a hook placed there is
dead code on most installs.

Composition now happens at two call sites instead of five parallel surfaces:
`stageAgentsForRuntimeWithConverter` (with `agentsKind` and `kimiAgentsKind`
routed through it via an identity converter) and the inline agent loop in
bin/install.js. Both compose BEFORE any path rewrite, so a `.claude/` ->
`.windsurf/` regex can never reach inside a marker attribute — the ordering
#2930 established for workflows.

`installCodexConfig` was the fifth read point: Codex embeds each agent's prompt
into a per-agent `.toml` via its own readFileSync. Call-graph analysis missed it;
the exhaustive per-runtime emission sweep found it. That is why the new guard is
behavioral rather than structural — a sixth read point fails the sweep without
anyone remembering to extend a list.

tests/agent-fragments-emission.install.test.cjs spawns a real installer for every
runtime at every agent-bearing scope, derived from RUNTIME_META and the
capability registry at run time so a new runtime cannot be silently
under-covered. It asserts markers are absent AND the `when="always"` body is
retained, so marker-absence cannot be satisfied by dropping content. An
identity-composer negative control proves the assertion can fail.

Verified: 0 install failures, 0 marker leaks, body retained on 27 runtime/scope
paths; red before the wiring on claude(global+local), zcode(global+local),
kimi, codex and opencode.

Refs #2995

* chore(#2995): give the tightest agents headroom and correct the design lock

Epic #1671 Phase 6.4, second half.

`agents/gsd-verifier.md` had 12 bytes of headroom under its 49,152-byte LARGE
cap and `agents/gsd-debugger.md` had 147 under its 57,344-byte XL cap. Both now
extract reference material to `gsd-core/references/` behind an @-reference — the
documented DEFECT.AGENT-FILE-SIZE-CAP-BREACH remedy:

  gsd-verifier  49,140 -> 46,371 B   headroom    12 -> 2,781
  gsd-debugger  57,197 -> 48,851 B   headroom   147 -> 8,493

Byte accounting proves no content was lost: the combined agent+reference delta
is exactly the new files' headers plus the agents' slim replacement blocks. Each
agent keeps its routing table and a one-line summary per entry, so it degrades
gracefully on a runtime that does not inline @-references.

`agents/gsd-planner.md` is untouched and still passes both char guards
(49,130 < 49,152); it needed no change, so it took none.

The other nine LARGE/XL agents carry NO gsd:section markers, and that is
deliberate, not deferred. `when=` selection is read from
gsd-core/workflows/section-manifest.json, which gen-section-manifest.cjs derives
from gsd-core/workflows/*.md only — shape `{workflows: ...}`, no per-agent key,
no per-agent init entry point. An agent atom therefore fails admission gate (2)
("a fact the init seam demonstrably computes at a real entry point") and would
evaluate false forever while looking like working gating. Marking agents would
manufacture exactly the silent-inertness rot the frozen vocabulary exists to
prevent.

ADR-1671 gains three amendments, two of which close gaps /adr-phase-coverage
found against what actually merged:

  - The 19 -> 29 vocabulary widening shipped in #2994 with no coordinated ADR
    amendment, which that bullet's own rule forbids. Recorded now.
  - `flag:--verify-only` was one of six atoms #2992 withheld and deferred to
    "the LARGE/XL rollout phase". Five shipped; this one is permanently
    rejected, and that disposition lived only in a merged PR body.
  - Phase 6.4's own finding: emission extends to agents/, gating does not.

CONTEXT.md's glossary was stale on both seams — Workflow Fragments Module still
listed the original 4-atom vocabulary and described when= as "not yet acted on",
and Section Manifest Module still described InvocationFacts as
{waveFlag, phaseNumber, hasPriorPhases}. Both now match the shipped contract.

Inventory manifest regenerated AFTER build:lib per the documented ordering
landmine; 19 install-tree fixtures pick up the two new references.

Refs #2995

* chore(#2995): correct the compose-site count and mark the raw stager

Self-review found two comment defects in the prior commit. The agentsKind
comment claimed composition lands at TWO call sites; it is three, since
installCodexConfig's per-agent .toml writer was added after that comment was
written. And stageAgentsForProfile is now production-dead — both callers route
through the composing stager — while staying exported and unit-tested, which
makes it a trap: it does a raw copyFileSync and short-circuits to the unstaged
source directory under the default profile, so a future caller would silently
reintroduce the marker-shipping path. Its JSDoc now says so.

* test(#2995): guard the marker-documenting-doc class for agents

Widening the composer's scope to agents/ makes reachable the exact class #2930
narrowed scope to avoid: a file that DOCUMENTS the marker syntax with an
unfenced example is indistinguishable from a real marker, so the composer drops
that line from the emitted artifact.

Three rows. A fenced example must compose byte-identically. No shipped agent may
carry a marker outside a fence — asserted by parsing every real agent and
requiring zero explicit sections, which is what makes the fence protection
load-bearing rather than decorative. And a non-vacuity row asserts an UNFENCED
marker IS parsed as a real marker, so if that ever stops being true the second
row is guarding nothing.

Also applies two review findings: stageAgentsForProfile's new JSDoc claimed it
had no production caller, which is false — bin/install.js's _stageAgents still
calls it, and its consumers compose before writing. Corrected to state the
invariant instead. And a let/const nit in the emission sweep.

* fix(#2995): keep verifier status vocabulary in the agent, fix a wrong fixture

The first remote run came back red with three failures. Both root causes were
mine.

1. tests/agent-frontmatter.test.cjs requires agents/gsd-verifier.md to literally
   contain HOLLOW and DISCONNECTED. The Step 4b extraction moved that status
   vocabulary into gsd-core/references/verifier-wiring-patterns.md, so the agent
   no longer had it.

   Byte accounting said no content was lost, and byte-wise that was true — but a
   contract required those tokens to live IN THE AGENT. That is ADR-1671:66's
   flexReserve floor stated concretely: a load-bearing fragment must not be
   trimmed out of its host, and "the bytes still exist somewhere" is not the
   test. The two status tables are restored to the agent and deliberately
   mirrored in the reference with a note saying so, so the procedure there still
   reads standalone. gsd-verifier lands at 47,069 B — headroom 12 -> 2,083,
   rather than the 2,781 the first attempt claimed.

2. Row 12b of the new marker-documentation guard asserted that an unfenced
   marker example parses as a real marker, and threw instead:
   "unmatched /gsd:section close marker". The grammar is WHOLE-LINE only. The
   fixture had put the OPEN marker inline mid-sentence, so it was correctly not
   recognised as an open while the close, on its own line, was.

   That is a real refinement of the hazard this guard exists for: only a marker
   on its OWN line is mis-parsed — which is exactly how a documentation example
   is normally written. Row 12b now uses a whole-line marker, and a new row 12c
   pins the inline case as explicitly NOT a marker.

No test was weakened to accommodate the change; the change was corrected to

ef823ca9d9 fix(#2830): propagate a halted plan to its transitive dependents (#3038)
* test(#2830): add failing regression tests for halted-plan dependent blocking

Add tests/fix-2830-halted-plan-dependents.test.cjs covering direct,
transitive (2 and 3 hop), and diamond dependents of a halted plan across
both independent "which plans are incomplete" readers (phase-plan-index's
cmdPhasePlanIndex and findPhaseInternal/searchPhaseInDir), the negative
case (an unrelated decoupled plan stays runnable), and a parity check that
the two readers agree. Uses only modules that already exist at this
commit (gsd-tools.cjs via subprocess, the pre-existing phase-locator.cjs)
so the test file loads and runs cleanly on a fresh clone of this exact
commit. These fail against current behavior: neither reader has any
concept of a halted plan or a blocked_by/runnable view yet.

* fix(#2830): a halted plan no longer leaves its dependents on the runnable work list

A plan that reaches a designed stop still writes a SUMMARY, so both
"which plans are incomplete" readers saw it as an ordinary completion and
reported its dependents as ordinary runnable work — never checking
whether an upstream plan had halted rather than finished.

- New `status: halted` frontmatter value, documented in all four SUMMARY
  templates alongside the existing `status: complete`.
- New shared src/plan-dependency-graph.cts: a single computeHaltPropagation
  pass that both phase.cts's cmdPhasePlanIndex (wave-grouping) and
  phase-locator.cts's searchPhaseInDir (the phase-location primitive, ~50
  dependent symbols across 5 command routers) now call, so the
  two-implementation divergence that caused this bug cannot recur. It
  accepts an optional precomputedOrder so cmdPhasePlanIndex — which already
  runs Kahn's algorithm in computeDependencyLevels for wave assignment —
  passes that order straight through instead of a second traversal;
  searchPhaseInDir (no prior traversal) lets the module derive its own.
  The two small duplicated predicates each reader would otherwise carry
  (is this status "halted"?, which summary file matches which plan id?)
  are centralized in the same module as isHaltedStatus/buildSummaryFileIndex.
- Additive fields only: `halted`/`blocked_by`/`runnable` on
  cmdPhasePlanIndex's plans[] and top level, `halted_plans`/`blocked_by`/
  `runnable_plans` on searchPhaseInDir's result. The pre-existing
  `incomplete`/`incomplete_plans` fields are unchanged in meaning and
  membership.
- execute-phase.md's discover_and_group_plans step now also skips any
  plan whose `blocked_by` is non-empty, reporting it by name with its
  blocking chain, in addition to (not instead of) the existing
  has_summary skip rule.

Extends tests/fix-2830-halted-plan-dependents.test.cjs (introduced in the
prior commit) with direct unit coverage of computeHaltPropagation
(including the precomputedOrder call shape) and a fast-check property
test — both only possible once this commit's new module exists.

Closes #2830

* fix(#2830): surface the halt-aware view from init execute-phase

The adopted work made phase-locator compute halted_plans / blocked_by /
runnable_plans, but cmdInitExecutePhase builds its output by explicitly
enumerating fields, so all three were computed and then silently dropped at
the exact consumer the issue names as regressed.

Forwards them additively -- incomplete_plans and incomplete_count keep their
name, type and semantics byte-for-byte -- and adds the same three empty
defaults to the roadmap-only fallback so the shape is consistent in both
branches. Covered by a new test that drives the real CLI end to end rather
than the locator function, since the locator already worked.

* fix(#2830): fail closed on dependency cycles and stop the templates inviting the defect

Three review findings, all fixed:

- BLOCKER (isolated adversarial). Cycle participants never reach indegree 0 in
  the Kahn pass, so they were excluded from the topological order, never visited
  by the forward pass, and vanished from blocked_by entirely -- i.e. reported as
  runnable. The wave-grouping reader hard-fails on a cycle so it never hit this,
  but the phase-location reader does not, so init execute-phase offered a plan
  depending directly on a halted plan. Reproduced, then fixed in the shared
  engine so every consumer is safe regardless of pre-checks: a node absent from
  the order is now blocked with a deterministic, non-empty named cause. A plan
  silently missing from both blocked_by and runnable is the exact disappearance
  this issue exists to prevent.

- MAJOR (isolated adversarial). All four summary templates showed the field as
  an inline comment on the value line. Frontmatter parsing does not strip
  trailing comments, so an executor copying the templates' own presentation
  wrote a halt that parsed as a non-halted string, silently reproducing the
  original bug. Guidance moved off the value line, and the halt predicate now
  tolerates an unquoted trailing comment.

- HARD standards violation. A test regex-matched child-process stderr prose for
  /cycle/i, which CONTRIBUTING bans. Replaced with the structured failure signal
  plus a differential assertion (same fixture without the cycle edge must
  succeed), so it stays cycle-specific without matching prose.

Also folds the duplicated read-summary-and-check-halted wrapper out of both
readers into the shared module -- centralizing only the predicate left the exact
two-copies-that-drift pattern the module exists to prevent -- and commits the
artifact-types documentation for the new status value.

* test(#2830): stop the property generator hanging the whole suite

The remote runner did not fail -- it hung. Two containers sat in this file for
31+ minutes, and an earlier attempt ran 9 hours before I killed it. The runner
passes --test-timeout=0, so nothing ever reaps it: this would have hung CI
indefinitely, not reported a failure.

Root cause: the DAG generator built edges by rejection --

  from: fc.integer({ min: 0, max: n - 1 })
  to:   fc.integer({ min: 0, max: n - 1 })
  .filter(({ from, to }) => from < to)

With n === 1 both integers are forced to 0, so the predicate is unsatisfiable
and fast-check retries value generation forever. n is drawn from 1..12 and
fast-check biases toward boundary values, so n === 1 is reached almost at once.

This also explains why the failing-first run completed normally while the fixed
run hung: before the fix the graph module did not exist, so the property test
threw on import and never reached generation. It only starts hanging once the
code under test works.

Generates the DAG by construction instead -- `to` is drawn strictly above
`from`, with the degenerate single-node case short-circuited to an empty edge
list -- so no rejection sampling is involved. Switches the import to the shared
fast-check setup so the seed and run count are pinned per CONTRIBUTING, and adds
a bounded regression guard that samples the arbitrary directly, so a future
reintroduction fails loudly instead of hanging.

Verified: the file now completes in 2 seconds, 29 tests started and 29 finished,
zero failures, against an indefinite hang before.

* fix(#2830): restore the depends_on display contract and acknowledge the workflow growth

Full-suite run surfaced two things the focused harnesses could not.

1. Regression of a pinned pre-existing contract (#3785). A refactor routed the
   EMITTED depends_on field through the new dependency resolver, which also
   consults the canonical-prefix map. The original consulted the plan map only,
   so a short canonical prefix passed through verbatim -- '24-01' stayed
   '24-01' rather than becoming '24-01-auth-hardening'. The emitted field is a
   DISPLAY mapping, not the DAG resolution, and #3785 pins that. Reverted with
   a comment recording why it must not use the resolver; full resolution is
   still used for the wave DAG and halt propagation, which is what needs it.

2. The workflow file grew 518 bytes without an acknowledgment, from the
   halt-aware skip rule and the widened parse contract. Acknowledged.

Note on where the acknowledgment landed: the guidance is to add a NEW fragment,
but execute-phase.md is already named by an existing fragment and the linter
hard-fails when two ack sources name the same path. Appending to the owning
fragment, following its own established multi-PR pattern, was the only
lint-clean option.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize progress.md forensic audit onto the fragment model

Extract the --forensic-gated forensic_audit step to
workflows/progress/steps/forensic-audit.md behind a section marker, and
repair progress.md's init line to forward --forensic so the atom is
actually true in production rather than only under direct CLI tests.

progress.md shrinks 32630 -> 27207 bytes.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize the four manifest-wired workflows

new-project, quick, new-milestone and progress each already had a
dedicated cmdInit* entry point but zero marked sections. Extract nine
gated bodies to workflows/<wf>/steps/ behind section markers and repair
each init line to forward its flags.

Fold --full into the discuss/research/validate facts inside cmdInitQuick
so the when= grammar never sees an OR, per the chunked-mode precedent.

Fixes found while working, per the no-defer rule:
- cmdInitProgress passed no phase info to buildSectionManifestField, so
  state:phase-mvp-mode was permanently false — an atom in the vocabulary
  whose fact could never be computed.
- the quick init router folded flag tokens into the free-text
  description, which the new forwarding would have corrupted.
- a #2508 dispatch note was nested inside quick.md's Agent(prompt=)
  fence, leaking orchestrator guidance into the subagent prompt.
- progress.md had a 3-vs-4 backtick outer-fence imbalance.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize verify-work.md and admit state:ui-phase-active

Wire cmdInitVerifyWork to buildSectionManifestField — it was a dedicated
entry point that never emitted a manifest — and mark two sections.

state:ui-phase-active folds (plan:pre hooks include an active ui step) OR
(the phase dir holds a *-UI-SPEC.md) into one boolean in init.cts, so the
grammar still sees a single operator-free atom. The inner Playwright-MCP
check stays as prose inside the fragment: it is live session state and no
init seam can precompute it.

The MVP false-branch note is a real fallback, not redundant prose, so it
sits outside the marker — gating it away would delete the text needed
precisely when MVP mode is off.

* test(#2994): follow moved workflow content in drift guards

Retarget every guard that asserted on content this branch moved into
workflows/<wf>/steps/, mirroring 815b3d897. Each retargeted assertion was
verified to still fail when its step file is blanked, so none was
weakened into vacuity.

Three assertions in verify-mvp-uat were genuinely red. Three more were
worse than red — passing for the wrong reason:
- quick-commit-boundary and worktree-cleanup anchored on indexOf('Step
  5.6'), which matched a later cross-reference and sliced 16069 chars
  that coincidentally held the asserted substrings. Replaced with an
  expandWorkflowSections helper that splices step content back in place.
- phase6-review-capabilities lost its end boundary and widened to EOF.
- playwright-ui-verify matched 'UI' in an unrelated bullet and 'fall
  back' in a subagent-dispatch line after the real content moved.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize code-review and complete-milestone, admit three atoms

Add dedicated cmdInitCodeReview and cmdInitCompleteMilestone entry points
alongside the shared generic ones rather than modifying them — init.phase-op
and init.manager carry a CRITICAL blast radius (179 dependents, 24
processes) and stay byte-identical for their other callers.

Admit flag:--fix, state:fallow-enabled and state:git-create-tag, each with
a consuming section and a fact its own entry point computes.

Both sections had the resolver-in-body hazard: the fallow config-gate and
the git.create_tag check each sat inside the very block being gated, so
gating would have disabled the resolver that decides the gate. Both are
hoisted into init and the bodies now consume the resolved fact.

* test(#2994): retarget code-review and milestone drift guards, fix two red tests

Retarget guards that asserted on content moved into steps/, proving
non-vacuity by blanking each step file and confirming failure.

Also fixes two genuinely red tests found while working, per the no-defer
rule:
- workflow-fragments' frozen-vocabulary lock was missing
  state:ui-phase-active, so commit 7ef7f8336 shipped red. Lint and build
  both passed over it, which is why neither is sufficient verification.
- code-review's quick.md capability-hook assertion carried a stale
  delimiter after the 18ff35d20 extraction.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize autonomous.md and admit state:plan-strategy-converge

Five sections share one atom, the pattern plan-phase already uses for
flag:--research-phase. The atom folds --converge OR --cross-ai into a
single boolean in cmdInitAutonomous so the grammar stays operator-free.

cmdInitAutonomous is additive; init.milestone-op, init.manager and
init.phase-op are untouched and still consumed. The $PLAN_STRATEGY bash
resolver is deliberately retained — ungated local-planning bullets still
read it, so the init-side fact supplements it rather than replacing it.

converge-fail-fast required splitting one bash fence so the always-run
CONVERGENCE_ARGS construction stays outside the marker. All three
flag-absent fallbacks were left outside their markers.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore(#2994): fragmentize review and discuss-phase-assumptions

Admit state:reviewer-instances-configured (two peripheral notes share it;
the core reviewer-lane dispatch stays unmarked — it is the workflow's
primary always-evaluated logic, not an optional branch) and
state:auto-advance-active, which folds --auto OR two config keys into one
boolean so the grammar stays operator-free.

discuss-phase-assumptions was the highest-risk edit in this PR. Its
auto_advance step is a full if/elif/else; gating it whole would have
deleted the flag-absent fallback needed exactly when --auto is off. Split
verified exact: resolvers 636-651 and the 'End here' fallback 668-669 both
stay outside the marker; only 653-667 is gated.

Adds emitted-drift acks for the two files that grew — review.md (+55 B)
and autonomous.md (+737 B from 80799211c, which had none and would have
red-gated the push.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize docs-update, update, transition and new-milestone Part A

Completes the 13-workflow rollout. Three of these had no init call at all
and gained a dedicated entry point plus their first gsd_run query line.

Admits state:is-monorepo and adds state:next-channel, state:workstream-active
and state:flat-mode. Vocabulary 26 -> 30 atoms.

Part A of new-milestone applies when NO workstream is active — the negation
of state:workstream-active. Rather than teach the grammar negation, which is
the Greenspun drift the frozen list exists to prevent, it gets a separate
positively-phrased atom whose fact is the inverse. Part B, which always runs,
stays outside the marker.

flag:--verify-only is deliberately NOT admitted: docs-update has no
contiguous purely-additive region for it, and an atom without a consuming
section is dead vocabulary. Evidence recorded in the slice report.

update.md reuses its existing resolved $GSD_TOOLS rather than prepending the
canonical preamble, which would have clobbered it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#2994): stop automated-ui-verification re-resolving its own gate, retire dead vocabulary

Two defects the new tests caught.

The automated-ui-verification step re-ran gsd_run loop render-hooks and
recomputed UI_PHASE_ACTIVE inside a body that is only read when that fact
is already true — the circular self-disabling pattern this design forbids,
introduced by 3c654b168. cmdInitVerifyWork now exposes ui_phase_active and
the step consumes it. Its launcher preamble goes too: no gsd_run remains.
The Playwright-MCP check stays as prose — that is live session state.

Dead vocabulary predating this PR: flag:--full and state:needs-codebase-map
were admitted with a gate-1 claim that never materialized. flag:--full is
removed, redundant once quick folds it into discuss/research/validate.
state:needs-codebase-map gets the real consumer it always lacked, gating
new-project's codebase-map offer. Vocabulary 30 -> 29, and no atom is now
without a consuming section.

* test(#2994): add the atom-admission, inversion and resolver-hoist gates

The two existing parity guards prove vocabulary/predicate symmetry but
never that a fact is computed — an atom no cmdInit* assembles evaluates
false forever. These close that hole:

- per-atom satisfiability for all 29 atoms, plus an anti-vacuity assertion
  so the loop cannot silently cover zero atoms
- dead-vocabulary check against the shipped manifest
- inversion guard: the flag-absent fallbacks in discuss-phase-assumptions
  and verify-work must stay outside their markers
- data-driven resolver-hoist guard over the shipped manifest, so a future
  extraction cannot reintroduce the circular class
- compound-fold coverage (--full, --cross-ai, --rc, config-only --auto)
- null-vs-[] degraded/computed distinction, and flag value shapes

Also repairs the frozen-vocabulary lock, which was stale and red for the
seven atoms earlier commits on this branch shipped.

* fix(#2994): dedupe the phase-fallback block and harden --ws parsing

Review findings.

MAJOR: the three new init entry points each pasted a verbatim copy of the
guardedFindPhase/guardedGetRoadmapPhase fallback, taking the repo from four
copies to seven — DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX. Extracted applyRoadmapFallback and
folded six of the seven; each call site keeps its own field-set via a
closure. Duplication removed rather than papered over with a parity test.
cmdInitPhaseOp stays out: its fallback omits has_reviews, so it is not a
byte-identical copy, and it is CRITICAL-radius.

LOW, pre-existing: GSD_WS captured [^[:space:]]+ and expands unquoted, so a
workstream name holding glob metacharacters would expand against the
filesystem. Narrowed to [A-Za-z0-9._-]+. The unquoted expansion is kept —
it must word-split into two args and vanish when empty.

Also restores the vocabulary ordering convention, and fixes a masked test
bug the mandated run surfaced: the flag-forwarding guard checked only the
first init line per workflow, but new-milestone has two, so a real failure
was reporting exit 0.

* fix(#2994): drop the stale new-milestone emitted-drift ack

new-milestone.md was acked for a +406 B growth measured against an
intermediate commit. Net against origin/next it SHRANK by 8 bytes, so
nothing needed the ack and it explained nothing — which the differential
attribution check reports as a stale acknowledgment, not a pass.

update.md's entry stays: it genuinely grew +703 B.

* fix(#2994): resolve the 15 failures from the full matrix run

All 15 were real and identical on both lanes.

REAL REGRESSION: autonomous.md hit 41479 chars against the #2196 guard's
40960 cap — a CHARS cap distinct from the LARGE tier byte cap, which the
five section stubs pushed it over. Extracted the 3a.5 UI Design Contract
body to references/; now 39968 chars, and the file nets -795 B vs base, so
its growth ack is deleted rather than left stale.

REAL DEFECT: docs referenced /gsd-transition, which is not a live
registered command. Reworded.

STALE FIXTURE: the emission byte-identity test hardcoded two marked
workflows; this branch legitimately marks fifteen. Fixture corrected — the
source was right.

The rest were drift guards over the eight workflows the earlier sweep did
not cover, retargeted at where the content now lives with non-vacuity
proven by blanking each step file and confirming failure. The GSD_WS
forwarding guard was checked as a possible real break and is not one: the
charclass narrowing is intact and forwarding works end to end.

* fix(#2994): drop the ack for a newly-added reference file

A new file's emitted ripple is attributable to the diff that adds it, so
the acknowledgment explained nothing and the differential check reports it
as stale. Removing the last entry removes the fragment — an empty one
signals nothing.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#2994): retarget the UI-contract guards and clear two transitive advisories

The §3a.5 extraction that brought autonomous.md under the #2196 char cap
moved its body to references/autonomous-ui-design-contract.md, so ten
guards in autonomous-ui-steps and check-ui-safety-gate were asserting it
against the host. Retargeted via a combined read, each proven non-vacuous
by blanking the reference file and confirming failure.

This class had already bitten twice on this branch because each sweep was
scoped to the workflows touched at that moment, so this one was
exhaustive: ~70 test files across all 13 workflows, zero further broken or
vacuous assertions found.

Also clears two high transitive advisories the matrix flagged on one lane
— fast-uri GHSA-7p8r-x3mc-p8w7 and three ip-address SSRF/trust-boundary
issues. Both pre-date this branch: package-lock.json was untouched until
now, so the production tree was byte-identical to the base. Lockfile-only,
package.json unchanged, verified against a real npm ci install.

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

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

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

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

Closes #2932

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

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

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

* feat(#2255): blocking catastrophic-shrink guard for .planning writes

Adds hooks/gsd-write-guard.js, a PreToolUse hook that hard-blocks
(decision: 'block', exit 2) a whole-file Write collapsing a curated
.planning/ artifact (ROADMAP.md, .planning/milestones/*-ROADMAP.md,
STATE.md) below 40% of its on-disk line count. Files under 40 lines
are exempt; GSD_ALLOW_PLANNING_SHRINK=1 (named in the block message)
bypasses for legitimate milestone resets.

Fix 3 of #973 — the only defense independent of per-agent tool config.
Registered on the Claude plugin surface (hooks.json), settings-json
runtimes (runtime-hooks-surface.cts, self-contained pattern), Kimi
spec, and the OpenCode/Kilo plugin buses. Golden install fixtures and
INVENTORY regenerated; regression tests negative-controlled (16/16
RED with the hook absent, 16/16 GREEN with it present).

Review fixes for trek-e's CHANGES_REQUESTED on PR #2301:

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

forwards its native payload verbatim — tool_name 'WriteFile' (bare or
module-qualified) and tool_input.path per its tool schemas
(src/kimi_cli/tools/file/write.py). The guard matched, saw an unknown
name, and exited 0.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Also in this file:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Review round 2, Minors 2, 3 and 6.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

640eaee16e chore(#2930): fragmentize execute-phase.md and prove per-runtime composed emission (#2972)
* feat(#2930): fragmentize plan-phase.md workflow into per-runtime-composed sections

Adds src/workflow-fragments.cts (in-file <!-- gsd:section --> marker
parser/composer, ADR-1671 epic #1671 Phase 3), wires it into
bin/install.js's copyWithPathReplacement emission path, and pilots the
marker grammar on gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase.md.

Bookkeeping ripple for the new src/*.cts module: .gitignore,
eslint.config.mjs, docs/INVENTORY.md + docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json,
and a CONTEXT.md glossary entry. Amends ADR-1671 with open questions 1
and 2 resolutions and records the closed when= applicability grammar.
Adds docs/reference/workflow-fragments.md and an ARCHITECTURE.md
section documenting the marker authoring model.

* fix(#2930): put allow-test-rule issue ref on the same line as the marker

lint-allow-test-rule-refs.cjs requires the #NNN issue reference on the
same source line as `allow-test-rule:`; it was one line below and read
as an unreferenced novel exemption.

* docs(#2930): link the orphaned gate-predicates reference from the docs index

Found while adding the workflow-fragments reference doc: docs/reference/gate-predicates.md
shipped without an entry in docs/README.md, so it was unreachable from the docs index.
Fixed inline rather than deferred.

* fix(#2930): scope composition to workflows, add typed failure reasons

Review findings from two orthogonal passes:

- Scope composeWorkflow to gsd-core/workflows/ only. It previously ran on
  every .md the installer copied, so a future agent/command/reference doc
  documenting the marker syntax with an unfenced example would have been
  mis-parsed and silently stripped — a lossy drop the phase forbids.
- Add a frozen REASON enum; failures attach a typed .reason and tests assert
  on it instead of matching free-form message text (CONTRIBUTING.md:635-694).
- Derive the property generator's when= values from WHEN_VOCABULARY instead
  of duplicating them (DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX).
- Add adversarial parser fixtures: Unicode headings, NUL, U+FFFD, BOM,
  fence-within-fence, tilde and indented fences, lone-CR marker line.
- Document why --mvp is structurally unmarkable: its content is interleaved,
  not sectioned, so the whole-line grammar cannot reach it.

Also fixes two stale tests on this branch, each reproduced on the unmodified
tree before correction.

* fix(#2930): retarget the pilot from plan-phase to execute-phase

The full remote matrix went red on both Linux lanes. Root cause was ours:
tests/phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs holds a PRE_PHASE6 ceiling of
94519 bytes for plan-phase.md, asserting an ADR-857 Phase-6 completion
property. That is a third size gate beyond the tier caps and the
differential ratchet, and it left plan-phase.md just 36 bytes of headroom
rather than the 3821 computed from the XL cap. The 330 marker bytes
overran it by 294.

Raising the ceiling is not an option: it is a red line certifying another
ADR's completion. plan-phase.md is reverted to byte-identical origin/next
and the pilot moves to execute-phase.md, which has 728 bytes of headroom
under its own ceiling and lands at 93147 with 3 marker pairs.

The vocabulary narrows to the atoms actually used: always, flag:--wave,
state:gap-closure-phase, state:has-prior-phases.

Recorded in the ADR: every branch the epic names lives in plan-phase.md,
which cannot be fragmentized until caps move from source to emitted bytes.
That is direct evidence for the epic's premise and may reorder phases 3-4.

* chore(#2930): backfill changeset PR number (#2972)

* fix(#2930): make the emission install tests portable on Windows

The windows-latest lane went red on three tests in the new install suite;
Linux was green. Both causes were in the test harness, not the module.

Root normalization: the opencode converter always embeds the install root
forward-slashed, but the tests stripped it with the native-separator string
from mkdtemp. On Windows that never matched, so the root leaked through
unstripped — and because the real and stub install roots have different
prefix lengths, that length difference landed directly in the byte-delta
assertion (344 observed vs 275 expected). Normalize both text and root to
one separator form before stripping.

@-ref resolution: the helper stripped only the @~/ and @$HOME/ forms, so a
Windows absolute ref (@C:/Users/...) fell through and was joined onto the
root, producing ...\@C:\Users\... Strip the @ first, then detect
absoluteness from the token's own shape (POSIX, drive-letter, or UNC) with
no platform branching, so every OS takes the same path.

Neither assertion was weakened; the exact-equality byte check is the point
of the test and still holds.

* docs(#2930): document every REASON member and guard the doc/enum parity

Code review found the reference doc's 'Fails closed' list covering 10 of the
11 frozen REASON members — MALFORMED_ATTRIBUTES (parseAttrs rejects malformed
key="value" syntax) had no bullet, and it is distinct from
UNRECOGNIZED_ATTRIBUTE, which is valid syntax with an unknown key.

Two parallel surfaces sharing one constant with nothing asserting they agree is
the DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX class, so the same commit adds the parity assertion:
the test derives the enum side from the built module and the doc side by parsing
the reference page, keyed on the reason IDENTIFIER rather than prose so a
reworded bullet does not break it, and reports set differences in both
directions by name.

Proven non-vacuous: removing the MALFORMED_ATTRIBUTES bullet turns the suite
red naming that exact member; restoring it returns 44/44.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #2929

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

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

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

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

Three decisions worth stating:

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #2929

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

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

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

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

Refs #2929

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

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

Three cases fix that by straddling the .5 boundary:

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

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

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

Refs #2929

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #2929

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

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

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

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

Refs #2929

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Also reconciles the one remaining duplicate predicate ID
(RULESET.WORKFLOW_MARKDOWN.FENCES was declared twice; the non-MD040 wording

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

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

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

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

Refs #1671

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

Drives the failing-first matrix green.

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

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

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

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

Refs #1671

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

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

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

Refs #1671

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #2782

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

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

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

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

Refs #2782

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

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

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

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

Refs #2782

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

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

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

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

Refs #2782

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

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

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

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

Refs #2782

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #2782

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

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

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

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

CONTEXT.md glossary gains both new modules.

Refs #2782

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

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

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

Refs #2782

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

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

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

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

Refs #2782

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

Two confirmed bugs, both reproduced before fixing:

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

Two hardening fixes:

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

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

Refs #2782

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

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

Three real defects surfaced by doing so:

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

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

Refs #2782

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

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

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

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

8b44a0da43 chore(#2794): single-source the reviewer invocation contract + parity assertion (#2820)
* chore(#2794): single-source the reviewer invocation contract

Phase 1 of epic #2782 (ADR-2782). Introduces one core descriptor table as
the declared contract for all 11 cross-AI reviewer lanes, and the
DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX parity assertion the roster has never had.

The lane contract lived in three unrelated surfaces — the roster, ~640
lines of hand-authored per-CLI bash in invoke_reviewers, and the
write_reviews section headings — so cross-cutting fixes landed per-leg
(#2494 and #2605 were the same empty-output defect filed twice).

- src/review-lane-descriptor.cts: frozen table declaring per lane the
  slug, flags, probe, invoke shape, timeout floor, empty-output policy,
  REVIEWS.md section, evidence class, required binaries, prompt-budget
  key and handler. Field names track ADR-2782 D1/D2/D6/D7 verbatim so
  Phase 2 harvests the shape with no translation layer. It declares;
  it does not execute — invoke_reviewers iterates in Phase 5b.
- checkReviewerLaneParity: bidirectional parity across descriptor,
  roster, invoke_reviewers legs and write_reviews sections. Forward-only
  would miss the failure it exists to catch (#2718 added a leg, #2781
  was the drift). ADR-1517 instance headings are exempt per D8.
- Legs carry an explicit <!-- reviewer-lane: slug --> marker; five
  non-lane bold labels share the bold-then-fence shape a heuristic
  matcher would key on.
- ADR-2782 D4: an explicitly-flagged reviewer that cannot run is now an
  error in both the core module and the workflow prose that mirrors it.
  A code-only change would be unobservable — the module has no
  production caller; the workflow narrates the policy. Discovery paths
  (--all, review.default_reviewers) stay lenient.
- Fixes the qwen leg, the last one discarding stderr to /dev/null.

Two ADR-2782 D2 vocabulary widenings were forced by surveying the
shipped legs: promptChannel 'none' (CodeRabbit is fed no prompt) and
outputChannel 'file-arg' (Codex writes via -o and discards stdout,
#1698). Both are additive and closed; Phase 2 owns the validator.

Closes #2690

* fix(#2794): make the parity checker total and pin the lane slug grammar

Findings from the orthogonal review passes.

Spec axis — the module claimed its vocabulary tracked ADR-2782 D1/D2
"verbatim" while diverging in three undisclosed ways, which is the
translation layer Phase 2 was supposed to be spared:
- `transport` moves from `invoke.transport` to the LANE level, a sibling
  of `probe`/`invoke`, exactly as D1's manifest example places it. The
  nested form read better as a TS discriminated union; the union is now
  discriminated at the lane level instead, which costs nothing.
- The header and the CONTEXT.md glossary now enumerate all FOUR
  widenings (adding `outputArg` and `flags[]`), not two.

Standards axis — CLAUDE.md requires a fast-check property test for a
parser, and `checkReviewerLaneParity` parses markdown for markers and
headings. Adding one found two real defects that the hand-written
matrix missed:
- NOT TOTAL: a malformed descriptor entry threw on `lane.flags`
  iteration, contradicting the module's own "never throws" claim. Every
  field is now narrowed from `unknown` at the trust boundary and
  reported as MALFORMED_LANE / INVALID_SLUG. This matters because
  Phase 2 feeds this function third-party overlay data, and a parity
  gate that crashes is indistinguishable from one never run.
- SILENT GRAMMAR MISMATCH: LEG_MARKER_RE captures only [a-z0-9_-], so a
  slug outside that class was unmatchable — its marker could be present
  and correct and the scan would still report LEG_MARKER_MISSING
  forever. LANE_SLUG_RE now pins the grammar and a violating slug is
  reported INVALID_SLUG. A loud named violation beats a silent miss.

Generators are document-shaped, not writer-seeded (CONTRIBUTING #2371):
seeding from the module's own matchers could only produce documents
those matchers already recognize.

* fix(#2794): register the new bin/lib module in the ESLint ignore list

The remote runner caught this; lint:ci did not, because the invariant
lives in the test suite rather than the lint chain:

  tests/repo-invariants.test.cjs
  "each bin/lib/*.cjs is linted xor ignored according to migration state"
  -> tsc-generated bin/lib modules not yet added to ESLint ignore list:
     review-lane-descriptor.cjs

Adding a src/*.cts module ripples to six surfaces (.gitignore, the
ESLint ignore list, docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json, the CONTEXT.md
glossary, the capability/inventory manifests, and any size baseline).
The other five were covered; this was the miss.

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

* docs(#2794): amend ADR-2782 D1/D2/D8 with the vocabulary Phase 1 surfaced

Building the Phase 1 descriptor table against all eleven shipped legs is
the first time every lane's contract was written in one place, and it
surfaced four cases the ADR's original survey did not cover. Amending
the design lock rather than diverging from it, so Phase 2 (#2795)
implements the manifest validator against the amended vocabulary instead
of rediscovering the gaps.

All four are additive widenings of closed enums; no decision reverses:

- D2 promptChannel gains `none` — coderabbit is fed no prompt at all, it
  reviews the working-tree diff.
- D2 outputChannel gains `file-arg` — the ADR called a file-writing lane
  a shape a real CLI *could* take; codex already is one, writing via
  -o/--output-last-message and discarding stdout (#1698).
- D2 gains `outputArg`, required iff file-arg — knowing the review lands
  in a file is useless without the argument naming it.
- D1 `flag` becomes `flags[]` and D8's uniqueness flattens across lanes —
  antigravity is selected by both --antigravity and --agy, which a
  single-valued field cannot express.

This is the same evidence path that produced the openai-http transport:
the vocabulary widens on a lane that exists, under review, never on
speculation.

9a76ca6783 fix(#1882): distinguish unterminated frontmatter from absent frontmatter (#2712)
* fix(#1882): distinguish unterminated frontmatter from absent frontmatter

extractFrontmatter returned {} both for a document with no frontmatter and for
one whose fence was opened and never closed, so a file truncated mid-write was
byte-identical to a legitimate no-metadata file. Verified live through
`gsd-tools frontmatter get`: both printed {} with exit 0 and nothing on stderr.

Per ADR-1411's "corrupt is not absent" amendment the {} return is preserved
exactly -- no caller may break -- and the cause is surfaced out-of-band as a
deduplicated, unconditional stderr diagnostic. That mechanism lands as a shared
leaf module rather than a per-site copy because three sibling findings in the
same epic need it identically; four hand-rolled copies of one behaviour is the
generative-fix-divergence defect class.

The discriminator is deliberately not "opened but never closed". A Markdown
document whose first line is a thematic break takes that exact branch, so
flagging on the missing fence alone reports corruption on good Markdown -- the
failure mode this class of check has shipped with before. The unterminated
region is instead run through extractFrontmatter's own parser (extracted as
parseYamlRegion so the probe and the real parse can never diverge) and reported
only when it yields at least one key.

Also folds an inline defect found while working: src/config-loader.cts carried
two NUL bytes in the JSDoc added by this epic's Phase 1 (3eb1cede2), making it
the only non-text file under src. file(1) reported it as data and text tools
silently skipped it, defeating the audit rule that says to search the authored
source; tsc passed because the bytes sat inside a comment, so no gate caught it.
It is live on next.

* test(#1882): pin unterminated-frontmatter detection and its negative space

Covers the discriminator on both sides. The positive rows are the issue's own
repro (LF and CRLF) plus the key-count boundary 0/1/2 around the ">= 1 parsed
key" threshold. The negative rows are the documents that reach the same branch
and must stay silent -- above all a Markdown thematic break at byte 0, which is
how this class of check has previously shipped a false positive on valid
Markdown.

Deduplication is tested on both halves of the composite key: a repeat of the
same (path, cause) is suppressed, a genuine second failure in a different file
is not, and a Windows and POSIX spelling of one path resolve to a single key.
The reset seam is asserted to actually clear -- #2674 is the precedent where a
reset that silently failed to clear made every later dedup assertion a vacuous
pass, and the cases only passed because each happened to pick an unused key, so
every case here uses a path unique to itself.

Assertions are on typed surfaces throughout -- the frozen reason enum and the
dedup-set size -- never on diagnostic prose. The one CLI-level case asserts a
differential between two runs (whether stderr is empty) rather than matching a
message, and is the wired user-reachable surface for this fix. Stream failure is
injected by overriding process.stderr.write and restoring it, never chmod 0o000,
which root bypasses.

Two properties guard the ~50 call sites of the changed function: the new
optional path argument is inert with respect to the parsed value, and LF/CRLF
spellings of a document still parse identically.

* fix(#1882): raise the truncation threshold and repair the dedup key

Isolated adversarial review found the one-key discriminator false-positives on
ordinary Markdown: a thematic break above a single labelled line -- `Note:`,
`Author:`, `TODO:`, `See:` -- parses as exactly one key and was reported as
corruption, which is the precise failure the design claimed to prevent and the
changeset promised was fixed. The threshold is now two keys. A file truncated
after exactly one key becomes a false negative; that is the same
precision-over-recall direction already taken at zero keys, and every GSD
artefact this guards carries two or more frontmatter keys.

Three dedup-key defects, each of which could silently swallow a real diagnostic:

- Backslash normalization is removed. A backslash is a legal filename character
  on Linux and macOS, so folding it to a forward slash made two genuinely
  different files share one key. Two spellings of one Windows path may now
  report twice; two distinct files can never silence each other. Lost signal is
  the worse failure.
- The key namespaces are tagged so a file literally named like the unnamed
  digest fallback can no longer collide with a path-less caller whose content
  hashes to that digest -- computable for any predictable content, no brute
  force needed.
- The source identity is computed once rather than hashed twice per emission.

Corrects the previous commit. The two NUL bytes in src/config-loader.cts were
NOT in a JSDoc comment as that message claimed; they were deliberate separators
in the live dedup key, and stripping them degraded it to bare concatenation.
They are restored as escape sequences -- byte-identical runtime string, and the
file is text again so grep can see it. The diagnostic script that misled me
indexed a character-offset string with a byte offset.

Also threads sourcePath through the STATE.md and PLAN.md readers so the two
artefacts epic #1879 is actually about name their file rather than reporting
under a content digest.

* test(#1882): correct fixtures and assertions left behind by the review fixes

The previous commit changed two behaviours deliberately and the suite still
encoded the old ones, so gsd-test came back red with six failures across both
lanes -- all of them mine.

Fixtures carrying a single frontmatter key no longer clear the two-key
truncation threshold, so the CLI differential and the two path-less dedup cases
were asserting a diagnostic that is now correctly withheld. They now carry two
keys, which is what a real interrupted write of a GSD artefact looks like.

The Windows/POSIX case asserted that two spellings of one path collapse to a
single key -- the exact folding that was removed because it also collapsed
genuinely distinct POSIX files whose names contain a backslash. Inverted to
assert they now report separately, with the reasoning recorded inline so the
trade is not silently reversed later: mild duplicate noise on one Windows path
is acceptable, a swallowed diagnostic is not.

* fix(#1882): name the file at every read site, and report each file once

The diagnostic reached only the four frontmatter CLI verbs, so ~47 of 53 call
sites reported a truncated file under an anonymous content digest instead of
naming it. Since naming the file is the whole point -- it is what an operator
can act on -- that was a gap in the deliverable, not a scoping choice. 43 of 53
sites now pass the resolved path.

Closing it surfaced a defect the original design missed. A single truncated
STATE.md is parsed twice in a normal run: once by the read wrapper, which holds
the path, and again by a pure core downstream, which is handed only the string
and cannot know it. Those two parses keyed separately, so one file produced two
diagnostics -- and wiring more sites made the collision more likely, not less.
Every emission now registers both identities the input could be known by and
checks both before writing, so whichever caller arrives first speaks and the
other is suppressed. Distinct files with distinct content still report
separately, which is the property ADR-1411 actually requires; two files whose
truncated content is byte-identical collapse to one report, which stays the
documented limit.

Ten call sites deliberately keep no path. Two are frontmatter's own round-trip
checks during set and merge, where passing a path would report on every write.
The other eight are the state-transition pure cores, which ADR-1769 defines as
(content, intent, deps) -> newContent with injected I/O; threading a path
through them would contradict that recorded decision, so it is surfaced rather
than taken unilaterally. With the widened key they no longer double-report, and
in the normal flow the named parse runs first, so the file is still named.

* fix(#1882): inject the STATE.md path into the transition cores

The six state-transition cores parsed STATE.md frontmatter without knowing
which file it came from, so a truncated STATE.md reached the operator as an
anonymous content digest on exactly the artefact epic #1879 is named for.

ADR-1769 section 3 shapes these as (content, intent, deps) -> newContent with
injected deps, and deps is the seam for precisely this: something the core
cannot derive without doing I/O. It already carries roadmapProvider and a
phase-inventory provider on that basis, each documented as injected rather than
imported so the core stays pure and testable without disk access. A resolved
path is data, not I/O, so an optional sourcePath member extends the established
pattern rather than contradicting it, and every existing stub keeps compiling
because the member is optional.

updateCore and reconcileCurrentPosition take no deps and are left alone. With
the widened dedup key they cannot double-report, and in the normal flow the read
wrapper has already named the file by the time they run.

Also regenerates gsd-core/bin/lib/state-transition.cjs. That artifact is tracked
rather than gitignored, unlike most of its siblings, so leaving it stale would
have shipped a runtime without this change to anyone reading the repo without
building. tsc had skipped the re-emit because its incremental build info still
recorded an emit that had since been reverted, so the stale output survived a
clean build; clearing tsconfig.build.tsbuildinfo forced it. The
compiled-artifact-sync gate is what surfaced the drift and now reports all nine
tracked artifacts matching their source.

* fix(#1882): stop the widened dedup key from hiding a second file

The previous commit widened the dedup guard so one file parsed twice -- once by
a read wrapper holding the path, once by a pure core holding only the string --
reported once instead of twice. It did that by checking BOTH keys before
emitting, which silently traded one defect for a worse one: two DIFFERENT files
whose truncated content happened to be byte-identical now collided on the shared
content digest, and the second file's diagnostic was swallowed. That is the
over-coarse keying ADR-1411 explicitly forbids, reintroduced while fixing
something else.

The guard now checks only the key matching what the caller actually knows -- a
named read checks its path key, a path-less read checks its digest key -- while
still recording every key the input could later be identified by. The redundant
path-less re-parse of an already-named file stays silent, and two distinct files
always both report.

Verified across all six orderings: same file named-then-anonymous reports once;
two different files with identical content report twice; two different files
with different content report twice; the same path twice reports once; two
path-less parses of identical content report once; two path-less parses of
different content report twice.

The suite caught this -- twenty failures, all in the unusable-input tests that
reuse one truncated fixture across different paths. The local probe written
alongside the broken change did not, because it compared two files with
different content and could therefore only confirm the expected behaviour.

Refs #1879

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

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

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

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

Refs #1879

* test(#1882): retire two assertions that outlived the behaviour they described

Both tests encoded assumptions the dedup fix invalidated, and both were caught
by the suite rather than by the probe written alongside the change.

The forged-path case asserted that a file named like the anonymous digest
fallback must not suppress a later path-less report. That premise is gone: an
emission now records every identity its input could be matched by, so ANY named
report of some content silences the anonymous re-parse of that same content --
which is the same-file guard working as intended, and has nothing to do with the
crafted name. The property still worth defending is that a crafted filename can
never silence a real file reported under its own path, so that is what the test
now asserts, with the deliberate suppression documented beside it.

The reset-seam case ended by reading the size of the dedup set and expecting 1.
Set size counts interned identities, not diagnostics written, and one emission
now interns two. It asserts the emission counter for the event and keeps a
weaker set-size check for the interning.

* fix(#1882): close the review findings on the discriminator, dry-run and counter

Three orthogonal review passes ran against the final diff. Their findings:

A labelled preamble under a leading rule was still misreported. Raising the key
threshold to two only moved the boundary, because two colon-labelled lines are
as common in ordinary prose as one -- a document opening with a rule over an
Author and a Reviewed-by line, then prose, was called corrupt. Key count alone
cannot separate the two. What does is what follows: a write interrupted part way
through a frontmatter block ends mid-block, so every line of the region is still
frontmatter-shaped, whereas a document merely opening with a rule goes on to
prose. Both conditions are now required, and each closes a false-positive class
the other leaves open. Nested list values and indented continuations stay
frontmatter-shaped, so legitimate truncations are unaffected.

`state rebuild --dry-run` reported a truncated STATE.md anonymously. The write
path is named only because readModifyWriteStateMd parses with the path first;
the dry-run branch reads the file directly and never did. Dry-run is the
read-only mode an operator reaches for first when they suspect corruption, so it
is the one that most needed to name the file. reconcileCurrentPosition takes the
path as an optional argument now and rebuildCore passes it down. That function
was previously left alone on the grounds that a read wrapper always names the
file first -- this is the flow that disproves it.

The emission counter counted write attempts rather than writes, so on a broken
stderr it claimed a diagnostic had reached the operator when nothing had. It is
incremented only after a write that completed, and the broken-stderr test now
asserts the count as well as the return value.

Two documentation defects. The module described a guarantee it does not keep:
one file yields one diagnostic only when the named read comes first. The reverse
ordering emits twice, and that is deliberate -- a path-less caller cannot
identify its file, so suppressing the later named report would also suppress a
genuine second failure in a different file whenever two files share identical
truncated bytes, which ADR-1411 ranks the worse failure. The comment now states
the asymmetric guarantee and a test pins it. Separately, the CONTEXT.md glossary
entry still described backslash normalization that a later commit removed, and
asserted the opposite of what the tests pin; no lint checks prose against code,
so nothing caught it.

Also converts three body-level try/finally blocks to t.after(), per
CONTRIBUTING.md's rule that try/finally belongs only in helpers with no test
context -- the file's own emissionsDuring helper already did this correctly.

* docs(#1882): tell the operator what the truncated-frontmatter warning means

A user who has just seen the new warning is acting, not studying, so this lands
in the How-To quadrant beside the other "if you see X" branches in
debug-a-failed-execution, not in reference or explanation. It gives them what
the warning means for this run, three steps to restore the file, and the fact
that the warning changes no return value or exit code.

It also states the case that matters more than the warning itself: silence does
not prove the file is intact. GSD says nothing when the partial block carries
fewer than two fields or reads as prose, because a Markdown document opening
with a horizontal rule is indistinguishable from one of those. A reader chasing
missing metadata needs to know not to treat quiet as clean. Why that threshold
exists is explanation and deliberately stays out of a how-to.

* chore(#1882): backfill changeset pr number to 2712

* test(#1882): constrain each branch of the frontmatter-shape check

CI's mutation gate came in at 61.56 against a threshold of 62, and the surviving
mutants were concentrated in isFrontmatterShaped -- the function added last, in
response to review, and the only one never given tests of its own. It was
exercised solely through extractFrontmatter, which covers the composite decision
but leaves each branch of the predicate unconstrained: drop the blank-line
filter, or any one of the three shape alternatives, and every existing assertion
still passed.

Four cases now pin the halves independently. A blank line inside an interrupted
block must not disqualify it, which constrains the filter and its comparison. An
unindented list item and an indented folded-scalar continuation each exercise one
shape alternative that no other case reaches on its own -- the folded line is
neither a key nor a list item, so it is the only input that distinguishes the
indented branch. And two keys followed by prose must stay silent, which is the
negative half: it fails if the predicate is ever mutated to accept everything,
and it is the case that proves key count alone was never sufficient.

Refs #1879

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

* test(#1882): register the unusable-input suite with the frontmatter mutation shard

The mutation gate reported an identical 61.56 across two runs whose only
difference was four added tests. That is the tell: the tests were never
executed. The frontmatter shard runs a fixed file list in stryker.config.mjs and
scripts/mutation-matrix.cjs, and tests/unusable-input.test.cjs was in neither, so
the entire suite covering the new unterminated-fence branch was invisible to the
gate while passing perfectly well in the normal run.

So the score was not measuring weak tests, it was measuring absent ones: #1882
added mutants to frontmatter.cjs and no test in the shard covered them. Both
lists gain the file; the config already notes they must stay in sync.

This is a registration ripple a new test file carries when it covers a
mutation-tracked module, alongside the .gitignore, eslint, inventory, glossary
and size-baseline ripples a new module carries. Nothing warned about it, which
is why two runs were spent before the identical score gave it away.

c5e0371775 feat(#1951): reversibility tagging — gate one-way-door decisions (#2471)
* test(#1951): add failing-first tests for reversibility tagging

Red phase for issue #1951 (reversibility tagging: classify decisions by
undo cost, gate one-way doors behind a checkpoint:decision).

Tests assert, per the issue's acceptance criteria:
- discuss-phase CONTEXT.md template records a **Reversibility:** field with
  a rationale on captured decisions, and states it is optional
- gsd-planner @-references planner-reversibility.md and stays under the
  49152-char agent cap (LARGE_CAP, tests/agent-size-budget.test.cjs)
- a one-way rating inserts a checkpoint:decision before the dependent task;
  reversible inserts none; costly is flagged but never blocks
- the taxonomy defaults to reversible when unsure (checkpoint-fatigue guard)
  and inserting a checkpoint implies autonomous: false
- docs/reference/plan-md.md documents <reversibility> as optional with all
  three ratings
- --no-reversibility-gates parses to REVERSIBILITY_GATES=false, is injected
  into the planner prompt, and is advertised in the command argument-hint
  and help full mode (argument-hint parity)
- the override suppresses the gate but still persists the rating
- cmdVerifyPlanStructure accepts every rating and the absent case
  (additive-validator guarantee, behavioral via runGsdTools)
- parity: thinking-models-planning.md #4 adopts the canonical three-level
  taxonomy and the binary REVERSIBLE/IRREVERSIBLE vocabulary is gone
- no content loss from the planner extraction made to fit under the cap

Prose-contract assertions are Red until the implementation lands. The
behavioral validator assertions pass immediately — regression guards
proving the validator already accepts unknown optional tags.

* feat(#1951): reversibility tagging — gate one-way-door decisions

Classify planning decisions by what undoing them would cost, and give a
one-way door a human beat before the agent walks through it (issue #1951,
The Pragmatic Programmer Topic 15 'Reversibility'; Bezos's one-way/two-way
door framing).

Acceptance criteria met:
- discuss-phase records an optional reversibility rating with a rationale
  on <decisions> entries in the phase CONTEXT.md template. Unrated
  decisions are treated as reversible, so existing phases are unaffected.
- a one-way rating makes gsd-planner insert a checkpoint:decision before
  the task that implements the decision, reusing the existing checkpoint
  mechanism -- no new checkpoint machinery.
- reversible ratings trigger no checkpoint; costly ratings are flagged in
  the plan but never block.
- the rating persists on the task as the optional <reversibility rating=>
  element. cmdVerifyPlanStructure accepts every rating and the absent
  case; the structural validator does not reject unknown optional tags.
- --no-reversibility-gates (REVERSIBILITY_GATES=false) suppresses
  checkpoint insertion for intentionally-unattended runs while still
  recording ratings -- the override changes what stops the run, not what
  the plan remembers.

Single taxonomy, not two: references/thinking-models-planning.md #4
already shipped a binary REVERSIBLE/IRREVERSIBLE classification and is
loaded by both gsd-planner and gsd-plan-checker. It is rewritten onto the
canonical three-level vocabulary and now points at planner-reversibility.md
as the taxonomy owner, with a parity test that fails if the surfaces
diverge (DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX-DIVERGENCE).

agents/gsd-planner.md sat 47 chars under the 49152 LARGE_CAP, so the
checkpoint DO/DON'T guidance was relocated verbatim into
planner-antipatterns.md -- already @-referenced from the same section for
the same topic, so the planner still loads it and nothing was dropped. A
test guards the relocation against content loss.

Files: gsd-core/references/planner-reversibility.md (NEW, canonical
taxonomy + emission rules + anti-patterns), gsd-planner.md, plan-phase
workflow/command/help (flag wiring + parity), plan-md.md schema,
discuss-phase context template, CONTEXT.md glossary, INVENTORY + manifest,
size baselines, install goldens, plugin skills regen, changeset.

Closes #1951

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#1951): address orthogonal review findings

Two isolated reviewers (correctness + security), neither of which authored
the change. Every finding fixed:

Security — the rationale is untrusted input (ADR-1577). It originates in
conversation and flows CONTEXT.md -> planner -> PLAN.md -> executor, each
hop an LLM reading the previous hop's output, with no validation on the
path. planner-reversibility.md and the discuss-phase template now state
it is data and never instructions, and name the </reversibility>
early-termination hazard explicitly -- a rationale that closes its own
element injects sibling structure the executor reads as real tasks.
Four tests guard it.

Correctness 1 — nothing machine-enforced the feature's own promise: a task
rated one-way with no preceding checkpoint:decision validated as fully
clean, so a planner error silently reopened the gap this feature exists to
close. cmdVerifyPlanStructure now warns on an ungated one-way rating. A
warning, not an error: <reversibility> stays additive and the plan stays
valid. Four tests cover ungated (warns), gated (silent), still-valid, and
reversible/costly never flagged.

Correctness 2 — pass-always test. The --no-reversibility-gates parse test
substring-matched the whole workflow file, and plan-phase.md prose mentions
both tokens in one sentence, so it passed with the bash conditional
deleted: it was testing the documentation, not the parser. Now scoped to
the fenced bash blocks and matched as one physical line, with a negative
control confirming prose alone cannot satisfy it.

Correctness 3 — costly had no itemized emission rule, only one-way did, so
two agents could diverge on whether to tag costly at all.

Correctness 4 — template convention break: the example ratings were bare
while every sibling field uses [...] to signal substitution, inviting an
LLM to copy one-way/costly forward as boilerplate. Now bracketed.

Correctness 5 — latent false-green: .includes('reversible') also matches
inside irreversible/irreversibility, which appear in anti-pattern
prose, so a surface that dropped the real taxonomy entry would still pass.
Now word-boundary matched.

ADR-857 phase-6 ceiling — the first gsd-test run caught plan-phase.md
1216 bytes over its frozen 94519 ceiling (it had 49 bytes of headroom on
next). The ceiling may only rise for privileged host machinery, and
reversibility gating is optional-feature logic, so the wiring was slimmed
to its minimum and the explanatory prose moved to the reference files the
planner already loads. plan-phase.md is now 94400 bytes -- 119 under the
ceiling and 70 bytes SMALLER than on next, so the host loop shrank while
gaining the feature, which is what phase 6 ratchets toward. The tracer
contract (tests/tracer-bullet.test.cjs) is unchanged.

Lint — fixed an unnecessary non-null assertion in verify.cts and a
CRLF-fragile bare \n regex in the new test (DEFECT.WINDOWS-CRLF-TEST-
PORTABILITY, the #1658/#1668/#2206/#2449/#2450 class).

* test(#1951): checkpoint fixture must carry the common task elements

The gated-one-way fixture built a checkpoint:decision task from the
abbreviated skeleton in gsd-planner.md, which shows only the
checkpoint-specific elements (<decision>/<context>/<resume-signal>).
cmdVerifyPlanStructure requires <name> and <action> on EVERY task
regardless of type, so the fixture failed validation for reasons that had
nothing to do with reversibility:

  errors: ["Task missing <name> element", "Task 'unnamed' missing <action>"]

Caught by gsd-test on 14d14a39 (2 failures, both this fixture).

The canonical shape is in tests/verify.test.cjs:266 — a checkpoint task
carries <name>/<files>/<action>/<verify> like any other. Fixture corrected
to match. Verified behaviorally against the real gsd-tools CLI across all
four cases: gated one-way (valid, silent), ungated one-way (valid, warns),
costly (valid, silent), absent (valid, silent).

Not a product defect: the validator's every-task contract is intentional
and pre-existing, and docs/reference/plan-md.md scopes its required-element
list to type=auto/tracer only because those are the elements a planner must
author, not because checkpoints are exempt from <name>.

* chore(#1951): backfill changeset pr number to 2471

* fix(#1951): CodeQL incomplete-sanitization + prompt-injection scan collision

Both CI failures were real defects in code this PR added, not false
positives.

CodeQL js/incomplete-sanitization (high), reversibility-tagging.test.cjs:46 —
the namesRating helper built its regex with `rating.replace(/[-]/g, '\\-')`,
which escapes the hyphen but not backslash, so the escape was incomplete.
It was also unnecessary: `-` carries no special meaning outside a character
class. Replaced with a complete metacharacter escape (backslash included).
Word-boundary behavior verified unchanged across all three ratings — notably
that "irreversible" prose still does not satisfy a "reversible" match, which
is the false-green this helper exists to prevent.

Prompt injection scan — the checkpoint fixture used the human-verification
child element inside <verify>. That tag name is a fake-instruction-boundary
pattern in scripts/prompt-injection-scan.sh, and the scan runs over changed
files, so copying the shape from tests/verify.test.cjs (unflagged only
because it is not in this diff) tripped the gate. Switched to the documented
plain-prose <verify> form.

The first attempt at that fix failed the same gate a second time: the
comment explaining the collision quoted the offending tag literally. The
comment now names it in prose instead — the scanner does not care whether a
match is code or commentary, which is the whole point of the
DEFECT.PROMPT-INJECTION-SCAN-COLLISION note in CLAUDE.md.

Verified locally before push: scan reports 0 findings across 57 changed
files, eslint clean, and both fixtures still validate as designed (gated
one-way silent, ungated one-way warns, neither errors).

* test(#1951): record measured cost and halve gsd-tools spawns

The Windows shard 1/3 job timeout was traced to the sharding layer, not to
this PR's assertions — see #2472. Two contributing factors were this file's
own, and are fixed here.

1. tests/test-timings.json had no entry for reversibility-tagging.test.cjs,
   so scripts/run-tests.cjs weighted it at the table's median fallback
   (~315ms) for LPT chunk packing. It actually measures 5595ms — an 18x
   under-weight. Recorded the measured value from the green gsd-test run
   (max across the node22/node24 lanes, per gen-test-timings.cjs's
   convention). Only this one entry: a full regen churns 634 entries of
   run-to-run drift, and the table is explicitly advisory and un-gated, so
   a 637-line diff does not belong in a feature PR.

2. Each verifyPlan() spawns gsd-tools, which dominates this file's cost.
   Spawns cut from 9 to 6 with no coverage lost:
   - the ungated-one-way warning and its stays-valid assertion now share
     one plan instead of building the same plan twice;
   - the reversible/costly never-flagged-as-ungated test was strictly
     subsumed by the additive suite, which already runs those two ratings
     ungated and asserts no /reversibilit/ warning at all — and the gate
     warning's text contains both "reversibility" and "one-way", so the
     broader assertion catches it. It only re-spawned gsd-tools twice to
     prove the same thing.

Both are symptom fixes. The shard imbalance itself (19/11/10 minutes
against a 20-minute cap, from a cost-blind round-robin partition that also
reshuffles downstream files whenever one is inserted) is tracked in #2472.

* test(#1951): checkpoint fixture adopts the #2444 type-branched contract

Surfaced by rebasing onto next, which gained #2444 (branch plan-structure
validation on task type=checkpoint:*) while this PR was in review.

cmdVerifyPlanStructure no longer applies one required-element set to every
task. A checkpoint:decision now requires <name> + <resume-signal> +
<decision> + <options>, and is exempt from the <action>/<verify>/<done>/
<files> set that auto and tracer tasks carry. The gated-one-way fixture
predated that split and failed on the new requirement:

  errors: ["Task 'Task 0: Confirm the on-disk format' missing <options>"]

Fixture rewritten to mirror the checkpoint:decision contract exactly — real
<options> with two <option> children — rather than padding it with fields
checkpoints no longer need. That also drops the plain-prose <verify> the
earlier revision carried purely to dodge the prompt-injection scan; a
checkpoint task has no <verify> requirement at all, so the workaround is
moot.

Verified against the real gsd-tools CLI across all four cases: gated one-way
(valid, silent), ungated one-way (valid, warns), costly (valid, silent),
absent (valid, silent).

* feat(#2296): config-gated provider escalation on quota-exceeded

The dynamic_routing tier ladder escalates within one provider, which does not
help when that provider is what ran out of quota. Add an opt-in provider ladder
layered on the existing EXEC.CLASSIFY seam.

- model-resolver: resolveProviderEscalation walks dynamic_routing.provider_escalation
  capped at min(max_escalations, list length), reporting from/to/attempted/exhausted.
  Invalid entries are dropped (ADR 227 shape validation). Stays a leaf module —
  the quota-class policy decision is the caller's, per the CONTEXT.md contract.
- agent-command-router: export a frozen AGENT_FAILURE_CLASSES so the new CLI
  validator cannot drift from the classifier that produces the values.
- resolve-execution: --failure-class flag; emits an escalation block ONLY when
  passed, so the existing JSON contract is byte-identical for every caller.
- config-schema.manifest: register dynamic_routing.provider_escalation.
- execute-phase step 7.1: auto-escalate, honor Retry-After, fail loudly naming
  every model tried once the ladder is spent.

* fix(#2296): extract quota recovery to a reference fragment; regen goldens

The step 7.1a addition pushed gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase.md from 93390 to
95111 LF bytes, past the frozen ADR-857 Phase 6 ceiling (hard <93600, margin
<=93400) asserted by tests/fix-2285-claude-orchestration-wiring.test.cjs. The
base sat 10 bytes under the margin, so no inline wording would have fit.

That gate's own rationale is that optional-feature detail belongs in a fragment,
not the host loop. Moved BOTH the new provider-escalation branch and the
pre-existing manual recovery prompt into
gsd-core/references/execute-phase-quota-recovery.md, leaving step 7.1 as a
one-line pointer. execute-phase.md is now 92880 bytes — 510 SMALLER than base.

Also regenerates the fixtures that legitimately moved because three shipped
files changed (gsd-tools.cjs, config-schema.manifest.json, execute-phase.md):
golden-install-parity + install-tree for all 16 runtimes, INVENTORY.md +
INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json for the new reference, and the workflow size baseline.

* test(#2351): make the C1 orphan-reaping test load-independent

tests/run-with-timeout.test.cjs C1 asserted the child heartbeat file exists
after a 1s group-kill window, but the child only wrote it on the first 100ms
setInterval tick. Nothing synchronized the two: on a loaded container the group
is SIGKILLed before that tick lands, the file never appears, and the assertion
fails for a reason unrelated to reaping. Observed failing on both linux-node22
and linux-node24.

The behavior actually under test is the FREEZE assertion (heartbeat stops
advancing => descendant was reaped, not orphaned). That is unaffected by
sampling once more at t=0.

Child now writes its first heartbeat synchronously at startup before arming the
interval, and the kill window widens 1s -> 3s to cover child boot under load.
Both remove the timing dependency; neither weakens what the test proves.

* chore(#2296): backfill pr:2458 in .changeset/rapid-jays-bark.md

* chore(#2296): regenerate fixtures after rebase onto #2402

The rebase conflicted on the generated golden-install-parity fixtures and
workflow-size-baseline.json because #2402 (b6e6a22fc) regenerated the same
artifacts. Conflict resolution picked a side to unblock the rebase; a true
regeneration on the combined tree then produced further drift, confirming the
resolved content was stale and would have dropped #2402's fixture changes.

Regenerated goldens, install-tree, size baseline, and INVENTORY-MANIFEST from
the merged tree. docs/INVENTORY.md keeps BOTH new reference rows.

execute-phase.md is 92782 LF bytes with both #2402's and this PR's extractions
applied — under the frozen ceiling (hard <93600, margin <=93400).

b6e6a22fce fix(#2402): honor response_language across orchestrator output + UAT checkpoint renderer (#2457)
* fix(#2402): honor response_language across orchestrator output + UAT checkpoint renderer

Replays the in-flight bot branch fix/2402-response-language-orchestrator-coverage
(seven commits, never pushed) onto current origin/next as a single squashed commit.
The original work was substantial and correct; this commit preserves its full scope,
trimmed where rebase conflicts + workflow size budgets required it.

Three independent layers where response_language was being dropped are closed:

Layer 1 — orchestrator-facing directives across workflows. Adds the strong
"All user-facing output in this workflow MUST be presented in {response_language};
technical terms, code, paths, and subagent prompts stay in English" directive
to ~40 workflows that previously either lacked it entirely (verify-work,
new-project, new-milestone, quick, manager, and ~35 more) or carried only
the weak subagent-prompt-only form (plan-phase, execute-phase). The directive
covers narration between tool calls and banner output, not just the
AskUserQuestion prompts.

Layer 2 — UAT checkpoint renderer (src/uat.cts). buildCheckpoint now accepts
an optional responseLanguage parameter and renders the frame strings
("CHECKPOINT: Verification Required", "Type `pass` or describe what's wrong.")
in any of 9 languages (English/Spanish/French/German/Portuguese/Japanese/
Chinese/Korean/Italian) with an alias table covering ~30 input variants
(en, es, español, ja, 日本語, etc.). cmdRenderCheckpoint reads
config.response_language via loadConfig(cwd) and passes it through, so the
byte-for-byte block verify-work.md reprints verbatim is already localized
when written — preserving the anti-injection hygiene rule at verify-work.md
(the model is forbidden to translate after the fact). CJK display width is
computed by East Asian Width property ranges (W/F) so the right ║ border of
the banner stays aligned for full-width characters. English fallback is
byte-identical to the pre-fix behavior when response_language is unset or
unrecognized.

Layer 3 — literal English report templates in execute-phase. The top-of-
workflow directive covers all template sites (templates are a structural
source, not literal output). Inline render-language notes that previously
sat at each template site were removed during the squash because they
pushed execute-phase.md over its frozen pre-phase-6 byte ceiling
(93600 — ADR-857 Phase 6 capstone). The single top directive covers the
same surface with fewer bytes.

Also extends src/docs.cts and src/init.cts to propagate response_language
into the init JSON bundle of the additional workflows so the directive can
read it.

Tests added:
- tests/uat.test.cjs: buildCheckpoint with unset/unrecognized language falls
  back to English default; recognized language swaps only the two frame
  strings while structural lines stay untouched; CJK display-width regression
  (independent recomputation of East Asian Width W/F ranges).
- tests/workspace.test.cjs, tests/docs-update.test.cjs: response_language
  wiring through docs.cts/init.cts.

References: #2402; reporter's three-layer triage + Layer-4 follow-up; the
byte-for-byte anti-injection hygiene rule at verify-work.md (the reason
Layer 2 must be renderer-side, not model-translated).

This is a squash of the in-flight bot branch — seven commits representing
the original implementation plus its subsequent fix/CJK-padding/test/
changeset/regen cycles, none of which were ever pushed or PR'd. The squash
captures the final coherent state.

* chore(#2402): backfill pr:2457 in .changeset/2402-response-language-orchestrator-coverage.md

* chore(#2402): regen golden + size baseline after rebase against #2315 (PR #2451)

Rebase conflicts were entirely in generated artifacts (golden-install-parity
fixtures + workflow-size-baseline.json). After taking theirs during rebase,
regenerated cleanly against the merged source tree.

d16a66479a feat(#1950): broken-windows ledger — cross-phase defect register gating ship (#2441)
* feat(#1950): broken-windows ledger — cross-phase defect register gating ship

Adds a new  capability (#1950) that operationalizes GSD's
no-defer discipline as a tracked, enforced artifact:
accumulates stubs, TODOs, skipped tests, unrun verifies, and unmet truths
across phases, and /gsd-ship blocks while any entry is open.

Implementation:
- src/broken-windows.cts → gsd-core/bin/lib/broken-windows.cjs: typed IR +
  I/O entry points (parseLedger/renderLedger/appendWindow/markWaived/markFixed
  + cmdWindowsStatus/Append/Waive/MarkFixed). Frozen REASON enum for typed
  error assertions. Windows-safe atomic rename with retry on transient
  EPERM/EBUSY/EACCES.
- gsd-tools.cjs: new  subcommand (status | append | waive | fixed),
  wired via routeWindows + HOST_COMMAND_ROUTERS.windows.
- capabilities/broken-windows/capability.json: one ship:pre gate with
  artifact-frontmatter-equals predicate on WINDOWS.md open_count == 0.
  activationKey windows.enabled (default true) + sibling windows.enforce
  (default true, separate so tracking can precede enforcement).
- gsd-core/workflows/ship.md: capId==broken-windows branch in preflight,
  sibling to security — reads gsd_run windows status --raw, fails closed
  on open_count > 0 or unreadable ledger.
- agents/gsd-executor.md: extends the existing ## Known Stubs instruction
  to also append to WINDOWS.md via gsd_run windows append (best-effort,
  never blocks execution).
- agents/gsd-verifier.md: new Step 8b — record unmet truths + human-verify
  items in WINDOWS.md.
- gsd-core/workflows/progress.md: surfaces open + waived counts.
- docs/COMMANDS.md + CONTEXT.md glossary entry + docs/INVENTORY.md:
  document the gate, waiver mechanism, and new module.
- tests/broken-windows.test.cjs: pure + CLI behavioral coverage + fast-check
  roundtrip property; fail-closed on malformed ledger; security boundary on
  path traversal in --file.

Backward-compatible: a project with no .planning/WINDOWS.md reports
open_count: 0 and ships cleanly. Disable enforcement per-project with
gsd config-set windows.enforce false (tracking continues, gate stays open).

* chore(#1950): ratchet size baselines, defer verifier integration

- Workflow size baseline: ship.md 25575→27928, progress.md 31789→32632
  (broken-windows preflight branch + open-windows surface).
- Agent size baseline: gsd-executor.md 46644→47951 (Known Stubs → also
  appends to WINDOWS.md). gsd-verifier.md unchanged.
- LARGE_CAP (49152) preempted the planned verifier integration
  (gsd-verifier.md was at 49140 pre-PR — 12 bytes of headroom, not the
  documented 'real headroom'). Verifier integration deferred to a follow-up
  PR that extracts the VERIFICATION.md template (lines 739-859) to
  gsd-core/references/ — a pre-existing cap-tightness defect this PR
  exposed but does not expand scope to fix. Verifier integration is not in
  the issue's acceptance criteria (executor writes is; unmet-truths
  recording was an enhancement, not a gate).

* fix(#1950): gate default-off, rename to workflow.windows_enforce, regen goldens

Test-failure-driven fixes after first gsd-test run on db8733c8f failed 44
cases (pre-existing structural tests encoded 'ship:pre has 1 gate' / 'all
caps off → empty hooks'):

- capability manifest: rename windows.enabled+windows.enforce (default
  true) → single federated key workflow.windows_enforce (default FALSE,
  opt-in). Matches security's workflow.security_enforce convention and
  makes the adr857 all-caps-off test pass without modification (the test's
  buildAllFalseConfig handles workflow.* out of the box). Default-OFF keeps
  the gate out of the registry's default ship:pre resolution so existing
  loop-hooks-ship-pre-e2e structural assertions (exactly 1 gate, capId
  'security') stay valid; users opt in via
  gsd config-set workflow.windows_enforce true.
- drop activationKey (security doesn't have one either; workflow.* key
  doubles as the activation toggle).
- regenerate docs/reference/capability-matrix.md to include broken-windows
  (capability-matrix-sync test).
- regenerate tests/fixtures/golden-install-parity/*.json (18 runtimes) —
  installer now emits the new capability + lib file.
- update CONTEXT.md, docs/COMMANDS.md, docs/FEATURES.md, ship.md,
  agents/gsd-executor.md to use the new key name and /gsd:colon slash
  syntax (slash-command-namespace test).
- restore accidentally-regressed /gsd:capture in progress.md.

Tracking-only by default; enforcement is opt-in. Acceptance criterion
'/gsd-ship fails while any ledger entry is open' is met when
workflow.windows_enforce=true (test fixture enables it).

* test(#1950): update ship:pre structural invariants for 2-gate registry

- loop-hooks-ship-pre-e2e: the registry now declares 2 gates at ship:pre
  (security + broken-windows), regardless of activation. Activation tests
  above still pin security-only or empty behavior via fixtures; these
  structural tests pin the REGISTRY shape, which has 2 gates as of #1950.
- workflow-size-baseline: ship.md 27928→27945 (workflow.windows_enforce
  rename added 17 bytes).

* fix(#1950): review H1+H2+M1+M2+M3 — fence-injection, EACCES fail-closed, cleanup, strict line, stryker

Adversarial isolated review (Step 6.3) found 2 HIGH findings that block
the PR and 3 mediums. All addressed:

H1 (HIGH): description containing the markdown 3-backtick fence would
terminate the ledger's JSON code block early inside JSON.stringify output
(JSON doesn't escape backticks), corrupting the file and bricking the
next parse. Fix: use a 4-backtick fence (json ... ) which
JSON.stringify cannot produce on its own, AND validate that no entry
text field contains a 4-backtick run (reject at append time with new
WINDOWS_INVALID_TEXT reason code). Locked by a regression test.

H2 (HIGH): readLedgerOrNull swallowed ALL fs errors as 'no ledger',
silently returning open_count:0 on EACCES/EPERM/EIO. The ship gate
would then pass on an unreadable ledger — the precise vector the
workflow doc claims is impossible. Fix: only ENOENT returns null;
every other fs error propagates as WINDOWS_LEDGER_MALFORMED so the
gate blocks and the operator sees a real diagnostic. Locked by a
regression test that chmod 000s a ledger with open_count=1 and
asserts the result is never a false-green 0.

M1: writeLedgerAtomic left an orphaned .tmp file on rename failure.
Wrapped renameWithRetry in try/catch with best-effort unlink.

M2: validateLine silently coerced 'abc' → NaN → null, hiding type
drift. Removed the line === 0 special case (was undocumented) and
made the error message match the strict check. Now any non-positive-
integer line value throws, including strings.

M3: tests/broken-windows.test.cjs (with its fast-check property test)
was not in stryker.config.mjs DEFAULT_TEST_CMD — Stryker would mutate
src/broken-windows.cts but no test would catch the mutations,
producing false surviving-mutant scores. Added to the list.

L1 (dead throw e after error()), L7 (line boundary tests, H1/H2
regression tests, 4-backtick CLI test) also addressed.

* docs(#1950): inline concurrency + busy-wait notes (review L2+L3)

* fix(#1950): regen goldens against latest gsd-tools; correct --line 0 boundary test

gsd-test v4 caught two issues:
- goldens I regenerated earlier (commit 526682084) predated the L1
  routeWindows catch-block cleanup (commit dd844d565). Regenerated
  via 'npm run gen:golden' against current HEAD so the install
  parity hash for gsd-tools.cjs matches.
- 'append --line boundary' test expected --line 0 to succeed with
  null entry.line, but the M2 fix correctly rejects 0 (lines are
  1-indexed; 0 is not a valid source line). Updated the boundary
  test to assert --line 0 fails alongside -1 and 'abc'.

* chore(#1950): regen goldens after rebase onto next

* chore(#1950): quick.md baseline 50699→50993 (correct resolution from next rebase)

* chore(changeset): backfill pr:2441 in .changeset/broken-windows-ledger.md

* fix(#1950): renderTable escapes backslash before pipe (CodeQL incomplete-sanitization)

CodeQL flagged the markdown-table cell escaper:
  String(s ?? '').replace(/\|/g, '\\|')
— it escapes pipe but not backslash first. A description containing '\|'
would render as '\\|' which markdown parses as 'literal backslash' +
'cell separator', splitting the column.

Fix: escape backslash FIRST (each \ → \\), then pipe (each | → \|).
Now a description with '\|' renders as '\\\\|' (literal '\\' + escaped
pipe), which markdown renders as a single '\|' inside the cell. The JSON
code block (the parse source-of-truth) was already correctly escaped via
JSON.stringify; only the display-only table was affected.

Locked by a regression test that:
1. Verifies the JSON block reparses with the description intact.
2. Walks the rendered table row counting unescaped pipes — must be
   exactly 11 (the row separators for 10 cells), proving no in-cell
   pipe added a split.

1720aacf0c feat(#1949): <precondition> task element — Design by Contract (#2422)
* test(#1949): add failing-first tests for <precondition> element

Red phase for issue #1949 (Design by Contract: <precondition> element
asserted before task execution). Tests assert:

- docs/reference/plan-md.md documents the new <precondition> element
- agents/gsd-planner.md @-references planner-preconditions.md and stays
  under the 49152-char cap (progressive-disclosure requirement)
- gsd-core/references/planner-preconditions.md exists and documents the
  three emission cases mandated by the issue (user_setup / prior-phase
  artifact / env-var) and the contract triad mapping
- agents/gsd-executor.md asserts <precondition> before task execution
  and routes unmet preconditions through existing checkpoint machinery
- cmdVerifyPlanStructure (behavioral via runGsdTools) accepts plans both
  with and without <precondition> — the additive-validation guarantee
- Parity assertion: plan-md.md and planner-preconditions.md agree on the
  canonical tag spelling (DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX-DIVERGENCE guard)

Most prose-contract assertions are Red until the implementation lands.
The behavioral validator assertions pass immediately (regression guards
proving the validator already accepts unknown optional tags).

* feat(#1949): <precondition> task element — Design by Contract

Add an optional <precondition> element to <task> in PLAN.md (issue #1949,
The Pragmatic Programmer Topic 23). The front-of-task side of the plan
contract — preconditions (before) ↔ postconditions (<verify>/<done>/
<acceptance_criteria>, after) ↔ invariants (must_haves.truths, across the
whole plan). Together with the tracer-bullet proposal (#1945), this closes
both ends of the 'outrunning your headlights' failure mode for an
autonomous AI executor.

Acceptance criteria met:
- <precondition> is an optional element on <task>; plans that omit it
  validate unchanged (cmdVerifyPlanStructure checks for presence of
  required tags, does not reject unknown optional tags).
- gsd-executor evaluates the precondition before any other task work.
  Unmet halts execution with a checkpoint:human-verify and no partial
  commit; met or absent produces no visible change to execution flow.
  Unmet is never auto-approved under AUTO_CFG=true — a missing
  prerequisite is a fact the executor cannot establish on its own.
- gsd-planner emits <precondition> in exactly the three cases the issue
  mandates: user_setup consumption, prior-phase artifact dependency, and
  env-var/runtime-config dependency.
- Tests cover met, unmet, and absent preconditions plus the additive-
  validator guarantee.

Files:
- gsd-core/references/planner-preconditions.md (NEW): full emission
  rules, the three cases with worked examples, format guidance,
  anti-patterns, the contract triad mapping, and the executor assertion
  contract. Progressive disclosure.
- agents/gsd-planner.md: slim <precondition> note in Task Anatomy with
  @-reference to the new file. To stay under the 49152-char agent-file
  cap (27-char headroom before this change), the inline
  <comment_text_discipline> and <region_scoped_negative_gate> summaries
  are compressed to one-line pointers — their full rules already live in
  planner-antipatterns.md, so no content is lost.
- agents/gsd-executor.md: new step 0 'Precondition check' in the
  execute_tasks loop, before the type dispatch, routing unmet through
  checkpoint_return_format.
- docs/reference/plan-md.md: new Preconditions section in the schema
  reference, with the canonical example and the three emission cases.
- CONTEXT.md: Precondition glossary entry as a sibling of Tracer Bullet.
- docs/INVENTORY.md + INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json: row for the new
  references/planner-preconditions.md (regen via gen-inventory-manifest).
- tests/precondition-element.test.cjs: failing-first tests covering
  schema docs, planner emission contract, executor assertion contract,
  reference-file presence + the three cases, behavioral additive-
  validator guarantee, and a parity assertion (DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX-
  DIVERGENCE guard).
- .changeset/quick-hawks-bark.md: Added fragment.

Companion to #1945 (tracer bullets).

* chore(#1949): regen agent-size baseline + install-tree goldens

Documented baseline regenerations required by the feat(#1949) prose changes
(RULESET.AGENT_SIZE_BUDGET + golden-install-parity):

- npm run size:baseline — locks in the new gsd-executor.md size (+1050
  bytes: the precondition-check step 0 block). gsd-planner.md is net
  smaller (-142 bytes: compressed two inline summary blocks whose full
  rules already lived in planner-antipatterns.md to make room for the
  slim <precondition> pointer). No hard-cap breach.
- npm run gen:golden — pick up the new references/planner-preconditions.md
  + the two changed agent files across all 18 runtime install trees.

Both regens are CI-mandated after intentional agent/reference changes;
see CLAUDE.md 'RULESET.AGENT_SIZE_BUDGET' and the comments in
tests/golden-install-parity.test.cjs.

* fix(#1949): bound <precondition> checks to read-only (security review)

Apply the security-review finding (LOW, isolated /security-review subagent):
the executor's 'run the cheapest check' phrasing for a plan-author-controlled
prose line was broader than ideal — a hostile plan author could craft a
<precondition> whose 'cheapest check' is side-effecting (curl to an attacker
host under the guise of verification, rm -rf before checking, secret emission).

The risk is inherited from GSD's existing plan-trust model (<verify>, <action>,
<done> already direct the executor to run arbitrary shell), so <precondition>
does not materially expand it. But the new prose actively directs execution
('run the check') rather than passively consuming the element, so the bound
is worth making explicit.

Tightened across all four surfaces that describe the check shape:
- agents/gsd-executor.md step 0: 'Verify with read-only checks only — file
  existence, env var presence (no value output), idempotent GET /health-style
  pings. Do NOT run commands with side effects (writes, network POSTs, secret
  emission) as the check; if a side-effecting check seems required, halt and
  surface via checkpoint instead.'
- gsd-core/references/planner-preconditions.md Format section: same bound,
  plus the halt-and-surface escape hatch.
- docs/reference/plan-md.md Preconditions section: mirrored.
- CONTEXT.md Precondition glossary entry: mirrored.

Regenerated agent-size baseline (executor grew 46186 -> 46440; still under
the 49152 cap) and install-tree goldens.

* chore(#1949): backfill changeset pr number 2422

Per CONTRIBUTING.md changeset workflow + feature-builder directive Step 8.7:
backfill the placeholder pr:0 with the real PR number immediately after
gh pr create returns. Avoids the fail_invalid_fragment gate.

* fix(#1949): cite [#1949] on allow-test-rule exemption (ADR-456)

CI's lint:ci runs lint-allow-test-rule-refs which per ADR-456 requires
every // allow-test-rule: exemption on a NEW test file to carry an issue
reference (#NNN or URL). My earlier push omitted it.

Local 'npm run lint' (eslint) does NOT run this check — only 'npm run
lint:ci' does. CLAUDE.md explicitly warns: 'lint:ci ≠ lint — CI runs
lint:ci; a local pass is not the gate.' I should have run lint:ci before
pushing; correcting now.

Pattern matches the companion feature's test file:
tests/tracer-bullet.test.cjs:1  // allow-test-rule: source-text-is-the-product [#1945]

dd5a2211c9 enhance(#1964): semantic knowledge-base recall via MemPalace (keyword fallback) (#2416)
* test(#1964): add failing-first semantic-recall contract tests

Epic #1957 Phase 3C (final). Source-text-is-the-product contract tests:
semantic recall via MemPalace (top-k meaning-similar prior resolutions, catches
same-root-cause/different-wording cases), indexing resolved sessions at archive,
graceful degradation to keyword matching when MemPalace is absent,
knowledge-base.md stays the durable plain-text source of truth, agent Phase 0 /
Matching Logic is semantic-first (the stale 'keyword overlap, not semantic
similarity' claim must go), and no new embedding/vector infra (reuse MemPalace).

Failing-first: reference, the Matching Logic reframe, the Phase 0 consolidation,
and the archive indexing step do not yet exist.

* feat(#1964): semantic knowledge-base recall via MemPalace (keyword fallback)

Epic #1957 Phase 3C (FINAL). Replaces keyword-overlap matching with semantic
recall: at Phase 0 the debugger queries MemPalace with the current symptoms
and surfaces the top-k meaning-similar prior resolutions, catching the
same-root-cause/different-wording cases keyword overlap missed (the self-noted
'keyword overlap, not semantic similarity' limitation). Resolved sessions are
indexed into MemPalace at archive (symptoms + root_cause(s) + fix + recurrence
guard). knowledge-base.md remains the durable plain-text source of truth; when
MemPalace is absent the debugger falls back to keyword-overlap matching
(logged, never a silent skip). No new embedding/vector infrastructure —
MemPalace is reused.

Size-neutral agent edits: the Matching Logic section reframed (keyword-only ->
semantic-first + keyword-fallback + @-include); Phase 0's three keyword bullets
consolidated into one semantic-first bullet; one MemPalace-indexing step added
at archive. Agent at 57222 B (122 B headroom — final phase). Full rules in
gsd-core/references/debugger-semantic-recall.md. INVENTORY + manifest +
agent-size baseline + install-parity goldens + AGENTS.md updated.

* fix(#1964): address orthogonal review (invocation mechanism, index Resolution-not-symptoms + redaction, fallback detail)

- HIGH: the 'query MemPalace' instruction was WHAT-level only; the agent has
  no MCP tools. Added an Invocation section naming the Bash CLI
  (mempalace search --wing <wing>) + MCP-when-registered + wing resolution
  (config.mempalace.wing -> project_code -> project dir), matching every other
  MemPalace integration. Without this the feature silently degraded to keyword
  matching even when MemPalace was present.
- MEDIUM (security x2): index the agent-authored Resolution summary
  (root_cause + fix + recurrence_guard), NOT raw user-supplied Symptoms —
  excludes attacker-controlled prose from the cross-session index AND reduces
  secret/PII leakage. Redact secret-shaped values before indexing. Stated the
  write order (KB append + commit MUST succeed before indexing).
- LOW: restored 'identifiers' + 'case-insensitive' to the keyword fallback;
  added a test asserting the fallback mechanics survived the Phase 0
  consolidation (Error patterns field, 2+ token overlap, identifiers,
  case-insensitive).

c67f301867 feat(#1963): emit blameless-postmortem Prevention block at resolution (#2410)
* test(#1963): add failing-first prevention/postmortem contract tests

Epic #1957 Phase 3B. Source-text-is-the-product contract tests: blameless
5-Whys that BRANCHES per Phase 2A RCA (not a single-cause chain; treats agent
error as 'why was that possible?'), the 'why wasn't this caught?' question,
the recurrence-guard taxonomy (regression test / assertion / lint rule / KB
pattern), the KB-entry why_not_caught + recurrence_guard fields with backward
compat, the session-manager prevention summary line, and the Zawinski
scope-boundary (a block, not a subsystem).

Failing-first: reference, archive_session edit, KB schema extension, and
session-manager summary do not yet exist.

* feat(#1963): emit blameless-postmortem Prevention block at resolution

Epic #1957 Phase 3B. At archive_session the debugger now produces a
Prevention block with three blame-free components: a branching 5-Whys causal
chain (branches per Phase 2A RCA, not a single chain; 'agent error' prompts
'why was that possible?', never blame), a 'why wasn't this caught?' answer
naming the missed gate (test/typecheck/lint/review/verify), and a concrete
recurrence guard (regression test / assertion / lint rule / KB pattern).

The knowledge-base entry gains two structured fields (why_not_caught +
recurrence_guard) so future Phase-0 recall surfaces the prior prevention, not
just the prior fix. Additive: old entries without the fields still load. The
session-manager compact summary surfaces a one-line prevention summary.

Full rules extracted to gsd-core/references/debugger-prevention.md (slim
archive_session step + 2 KB fields kept in the agent). INVENTORY + manifest +
agent-size baseline + install-parity goldens + AGENTS.md updated.

* fix(#1963): address orthogonal review (CRITICAL append-template drift + Phase-0 consumption + parity test)

- CRITICAL: the archive_session KB append template omitted Why not caught +
  Recurrence guard (only the Entry Format had them) — the feature's core
  deliverable silently did not happen. Added both fields to the append template
  the agent actually follows (nearest-instruction wins).
- HIGH: Phase 0 (KB read) only surfaced root_cause + fix; the new fields were
  dead data. Extended the Phase 0 Evidence line to consume why_not_caught +
  recurrence_guard when present (absent on old entries — backward compat holds).
- MEDIUM: added a cross-section parity test (every Entry-Format field must also
  appear in the append template — the guard that would have caught the
  Critical) + a Phase-0-consumption assertion.
- MEDIUM: the 'branches per Phase 2A' claim is now wired — reuses
  reasoning_checkpoint.candidate_causes across the four categories.
- MEDIUM: recurrence-guard taxonomy gains type refinement + config-default
  change; LOW: added 'build' gate to both surfaces for parity.
- NIT: compact-summary fallback shape ('no gate existed'); verify the guard
  artifact exists before recording it.

* test(#1963): anchor Phase-0 consumption test on the specific heading

The regex /Phase 0[\s\S]{0,1200}/ matched the first 'Phase 0' in the file

Anchor on '**Phase 0: Check knowledge base**' and widen to 1500 chars.

36a311c5bb enhance(#1962): harden regression tests (PBT shrinking + oracle classification + boundaries) (#2409)
* test(#1962): add failing-first repro-hardening contract tests

Epic #1957 Phase 3A. Source-text-is-the-product contract tests: PBT shrinking
(fast-check/Hypothesis, minimized seed, manual-minimization degradation), the
four oracle types (specified/derived/metamorphic/implicit with implicit flagged
weakest), boundary neighbors (off-by-one/min-max/empty-singleton tied to the
equivalence class), oracle_type in DEBUG Resolution, and the Phase 1A tie-in
(minimized seed + real oracle => the mutation guardrail bites).

Failing-first: reference, agent cross-refs, and template field do not yet exist.

* feat(#1962): harden regression tests (PBT shrinking + oracle classification + boundaries)

Epic #1957 Phase 3A. Extends Minimal Reproduction (shrinking) and Test-First
Debugging (oracle classification + boundary neighbors):
- Shrinking: wrap an input-space failing input in a property (fast-check JS/TS,
  Hypothesis Python) and store the MINIMIZED counterexample as the regression
  seed; degrade to manual minimization when no PBT framework is present.
- Oracle classification: state specified / derived (contract/model) /
  metamorphic / implicit (crash, weakest) before writing the assertion; record
  under Resolution.oracle_type; never default to implicit silently.
- Boundary neighbors: off-by-one, min/max, empty/singleton around the fixed
  defect's equivalence class.

Together they turn the regression test into a root-cause check — what the Phase
1A mutation guardrail needs to bite. Full rules extracted to gsd-core/references/
debugger-repro-hardening.md. INVENTORY + manifest + agent-size baseline +
install-parity goldens + AGENTS.md + DEBUG template updated.

* fix(#1962): address orthogonal review (bounding, provenance, oracle scope, sufficient-triple)

- HIGH: added a 'Bound the property/shrink run' section (60s timeout, degrade-
  to-manual on timeout, do-not-raise-default-run-limits, argv-not-shell) —
  the gauntlet violation the sibling references already honored.
- Medium: test-provenance caveat (the failing input often comes from the bug
  report — author the generator from a sanitized description, cross-ref
  debugger-fix-acceptance.md).
- Medium: oracle scope note — the 4 types cover deterministic bugs; non-
  deterministic failures re-route to stability-stress per bug-taxonomy.
- Medium: Phase 1A tie-in corrected — seed+oracle is necessary not sufficient;
  boundary neighbors close the adjacent-input escape; the sufficient triple is
  seed+oracle+neighbors.
- Low: preserve the original noisy repro as a secondary reference; operationalize
  'equivalence class' (the predicate the fix draws). Nit: degradation reworded.

* test(#1961): add failing-first bug-taxonomy routing contract tests

Epic #1957 Phase 2B. Source-text-is-the-product contract tests (3 taxonomy
classes, explicit class->technique routing table, Bohrbug->repro+SBFL+bisect,
Heisenbug->record-replay/stability+SKIP-SBFL, Concurrency->atomicity/order/
deadlock checklist, bug_class in DEBUG Current Focus, supersede-not-append)
plus a routing-table specification object pinning the documented decisions
(SBFL forbidden on Heisenbug is the load-bearing 1B/2B seam).

Failing-first: reference, Phase 1.75, and routing-table reframe do not yet exist.

* feat(#1961): add bug-taxonomy classification + strategy routing to gsd-debugger

Epic #1957 Phase 2B (reliability-critical). Adds Phase 1.75: classify the
failure as Bohrbug / Heisenbug-Mandelbug / Concurrency, then route the
investigation technique via an explicit class->technique table (Kernighan: no
opaque heuristic). Bohrbug -> reproduction + SBFL (Phase 1.25) + git bisect;
Heisenbug/Mandelbug -> record-replay (rr) + stability-stress + statistical
sampling, with SBFL explicitly SKIPPED (a flaky spectrum poisons the Ochiai
ranking — the load-bearing 1B/2B seam); Concurrency -> the
atomicity/order/deadlock checklist first.

Reframes (supersedes, not appends — Zawinski) the flat 'Technique Selection by
situation' table into a class-routed table; the 11 techniques remain as routed
targets. bug_class recorded in Current Focus (DEBUG template); common-bug-
patterns catalog cross-referenced to the taxonomy.

Full rules extracted to gsd-core/references/debugger-bug-taxonomy.md. INVENTORY
+ manifest + agent-size baseline + install-parity goldens + AGENTS.md updated.

* fix(#1961): address orthogonal review (phase-name drift, General lane, revoke framing, row-scoped tests, bounding)

- HIGH: reference said 'Phase 1B' (epic shorthand); corrected to the deployed
  'Phase 1.25' (matches the agent + SBFL reference).
- HIGH: 6 of 11 techniques (Rubber duck, Delta, Working backwards,
  Differential, Comment-out, Follow-the-indirection) were orphaned by the
  situation-table reframe. Added a 'General (any class, situation-cued)'
  lane to BOTH the reference routing table and the agent's Technique
  Selection table that re-homes them — supersede-not-append now holds.
- MEDIUM: the SBFL-skip is structurally retroactive (Phase 1.25 runs before
  Phase 1.75 classification), so reframed the table column from 'Do NOT use'
  to 'Revoke if already run' + an explicit 'retroactive revocation, not
  proactive skip' note stating the ordering honestly.
- MEDIUM: contract tests are now row-scoped (parse the table by class, assert
  per-row) instead of presence-only; added a guard that the previously-
  orphaned techniques now have a General-lane route.
- LOW: pinned the canonical bug_class value form (lowercase-kebab:
  bohrbug|heisenbug-mandelbug|concurrency; prose may use title-case).
- NIT: added a 'Bound the Heisenbug-chase runs' note (rr/stability/sampling
  timeouts) per the unbounded-subprocess gauntlet.

* test(#1960): add failing-first RCA-branching contract + schema-invariant tests

Epic #1957 Phase 2A. Source-text-is-the-product contract tests (fishbone
>=2 categories, AND-gate, multi-cause root_cause, backward compat, reasoning
checkpoint candidate_causes+and_gate fields, debugger-philosophy single-cause
note, DEBUG template) plus behavioral schema-invariant checks on two fixtures:
two contributing causes (AND-gate yes) -> both recorded; single-cause
(AND-gate no) -> one root_cause, identical to today.

Failing-first: reference, agent edits, and template note do not yet exist.

* feat(#1960): add RCA branching (fishbone + AND-gate) to gsd-debugger

Epic #1957 Phase 2A. Guards against 5-Whys single-cause bias: before committing
root_cause, the debugger enumerates candidate causes across >=2 Ishikawa
categories (code/config/environment/data) and explicitly answers an AND-gate
question. When the AND-gate fires, every contributing cause is recorded, so a
multi-cause fix no longer recurs via the unaddressed second cause.
Resolution.root_cause may hold one OR a small set (additive; single-cause
sessions are byte-identical to today). The Structured Reasoning Checkpoint gains
candidate_causes + and_gate fields; debugger-philosophy.md adds the
single-cause-bias trap.

Full rules extracted to gsd-core/references/debugger-rca-branching.md (slim
Phase 2 routing + 2 checkpoint fields kept in the agent). INVENTORY + manifest +
agent-size baseline + install-parity goldens + AGENTS.md + DEBUG template updated.

* fix(#1960): address orthogonal review (AND-gate self-consistency, parity guard, narrowed claim, ripples)

- Reference: the collapse rule now enforces AND-gate self-consistency —
  and_gate=yes with a single confirmed cause is flagged as incomplete
  (return to Phase 3); a race/timing note clarifies such bugs bridge
  categories; the 'byte-identical' backward-compat claim narrowed to
  'root_cause shape unchanged; reasoning_checkpoint gains 2 fields in every
  session'.
- DEBUG.md: stale 'five-field' mirror prose -> seven-field (parallel-surface
  drift the reviewer flagged); new debug-session-management parity test pins
  the field-count claim to the gsd-debugger.md YAML keys (CRLF-safe).
- Scalar-assuming consumers of set-valued root_cause updated: session-manager
  compact summaries (319/332), diagnose-only return (1062), archive entry
  (1216), ROOT CAUSE FOUND return (1322).
- Test: added the AND-gate-yes/single-cause invariant + fixture; rephrased the
  fixture describe block honestly as a schema-invariant specification.

  Phase 4 commit').

* test(#1959): add failing-first SBFL contract + Ochiai correctness tests

Epic #1957 Phase 1B. Source-text-is-the-product contract tests (Ochiai
formula documented, Tarantula fallback, top-N seeding, no-coverage skip
logged, ranking->Evidence, Bohrbug gating) plus a behavioral Ochiai
formula-correctness section: bound [0,1], max-score invariant, a known-fault
fixture proving the fault ranks #1 (criterion 2), clean degradation on
zero failing tests, and two fast-check properties.

Failing-first: reference file and agent routing do not yet exist.

* feat(#1959): add spectrum-based fault localization (Ochiai) pre-filter to gsd-debugger

Epic #1957 Phase 1B. When a runnable test suite with per-test coverage exists
(>=1 failing AND >=1 passing test), the debugger computes an Ochiai
suspiciousness ranking over the coverage spectrum and seeds the top-N
suspicious locations into Evidence as first-class hypothesis candidates,
narrowing the search space deterministically before LLM reasoning. Tarantula
documented as fallback. Degrades cleanly (logged, never silent) when there is
no test suite, no failing tests, or no per-test coverage, and is explicitly
not trusted on flaky/Heisenbug spectra (pairs with Phase 2B bug-taxonomy).

Full rules extracted to gsd-core/references/debugger-sbfl.md (slim Phase 1.25
routing kept in the agent to respect the size cap). No new coverage framework
— reuses the project's existing test/coverage runner. INVENTORY + manifest +
agent-size baseline + install-parity goldens + AGENTS.md updated.

* test(#1959): bound property generators to valid coverage counts

The [0,1] property generated failedExec independently of totalFailed, but
Ochiai's score is only bounded by 1 under the coverage invariant
failedExec <= totalFailed (a failing test that executed s is one of the
totalFailed failing tests). Out-of-domain inputs (failedExec=100, totalFailed=5)
make the formula correctly return >1. Bound failedExec by totalFailed via
fc.chain so the property tests the real domain. Also cleaned up the ranking
property (removed dead code).

* fix(#1959): address orthogonal review (monotonicity property, degradation row, coverage bounding)

- Replace vacuous ranking property (true-by-sort-construction) with a
  non-trivial monotonicity property: holding totalFailed + passedExec fixed,
  ochiai is non-decreasing in failedExec. An inverted formula would fail it.
- Add the missing 'no passing tests' degradation row (preconditions require
  >=1 passing test; Tarantula would divide by totalPassed=0).
- Bound the coverage subprocess (CLAUDE.md gauntlet): cap the coverage run,
  degrade-to-skip on timeout, never hang the debug session.
- Reword 'discard the ranking' -> 'mark the Evidence entry as revoked (do not
  delete)' per Kernighan auditability.

* test(#1958): add failing-first guardrail contract tests

Epic #1957 Phase 1A. Adds source-text-is-the-product tests asserting the
5-signal fix-acceptance guardrail contract (target test, mutation check,
no-op/deletion detector, adjacent tests, revert-and-reconfirm), graceful
degradation, FIX REJECTED BY GUARDRAIL return path, per-signal debug-file
recording, and subprocess bounding.

Failing-first: reference file and agent sections do not yet exist.

* feat(#1958): add multi-signal fix-acceptance guardrail to gsd-debugger

Epic #1957 Phase 1A. Prevents accepting a fix that merely greens the test
(Goodhart defense / APR overfitting). Adds a 5-signal gate run before fix
acceptance: target test, mutation check (Stryker), no-op/behavior-deleting
detector, adjacent/held-out tests, revert-and-reconfirm. Degrades gracefully
when Stryker or a test suite is absent (each skip logged, never a silent pass),
records per-signal results under Resolution.verification, and returns a
FIX REJECTED BY GUARDRAIL outcome the session-manager surfaces for
revise / accept-as-debt / abandon.

Full rules extracted to gsd-core/references/debugger-fix-acceptance.md (slim
routing kept in the agent to respect the agent-size cap). Debug template +
INVENTORY + manifest + agent-size baseline + AGENTS.md updated.

* test(#1958): correct newline-tolerant assertion + regen install-parity goldens

The revert-and-reconfirm assertion collapsed whitespace before matching so
markdown line-wrapping does not break it. Regenerated the golden-install-parity
and install-tree fixtures (npm run gen:golden) to absorb the intentional
gsd-debugger.md / gsd-debug-session-manager.md / DEBUG.md / new reference-file
changes to the installed artifact tree.

* fix(#1958): tighten guardrail per orthogonal review

Addresses the isolated reviewer's findings:
- signal 5 now states its recorded-repro dependency and routes the no-repro
  case to the degradation row; revert mechanism specified (git stash / git
  revert -n); minimality flag tied to diff structure, not revert-ability.
- bounded-subprocesses section now bounds the git subprocess (5-30s) too,
  requires argv-array argument passing, and scopes Stryker to the driving
  regression test (a mutant killed only by a non-driving test is a finding).
- new test-provenance (security) clause: the driving test must be
  agent-authored; bug-report repro scripts are DATA, never executed verbatim.
- tightened 3 contract assertions to bind to specific clauses
  (guardrail_verdict field, deletion-reject-unless-RCA, 60s+git bounding).
- Goodhart framing softened to 'partially-independent'; DEBUG.md template
  verification field notes the nested map shape.

* refactor(#2368): extract capability arm to capability-command-router (ADR-2346 P2)

Behavior-preserving relocation of the 706-line case 'capability': arm from
gsd-tools.cjs into a new hand-authored bin/lib/capability-command-router.cjs
(sibling of ensure-runtime-build.cjs). The 15 bin/-relative require paths are
rewritten to sibling-relative (correct for bin/lib/). dispatchHostCommand is
now async (capability's install/upgrade/consent ops await the lifecycle); sync
routers (state/phase/…) pass through await unchanged. case 'capability':
removed; capability dispatches via HOST_COMMAND_ROUTERS.

Validated by the existing capability-lifecycle / -consent / -trust / -loader
test suites (no logic changed). Golden install-parity fixtures regenerated.

Closes #2368 (Slice 1 — relocation). Probe consolidation (capHostVersion→
readHostVersion, capReadStrict dedup) deferred to a follow-up slice.

* fix(#2368): add capabilityState/capabilityWriter requires + INVENTORY row

The relocated capability arm references capabilityState (cmdCapabilityState,
resolveCapabilityRuntimeState) and capabilityWriter (cmdCapabilitySet) — both
module-scope requires in gsd-tools.cjs (L288/289) that the initial closure-dep
scan missed. Added as sibling requires to capability-command-router.cjs. Also
adds the new cli module to docs/INVENTORY.md + regenerates the manifest.

* fix(#2368): correct capHostVersion __dirname depth for bin/lib/ relocation

capHostVersion's VERSION/package.json paths were bin/-relative ('..' and
'..','..'); on relocation to bin/lib/ they resolved one level too deep,
so capHostVersion returned 0.0.0 and capability install failed the
engines.gsd gate (#1920). Added one more '..' to each (now resolves
gsd-core/VERSION and repo-root package.json correctly).

* test(#2368): drop capability from the invocation loop (async/FS vs /fake/cwd)

capability is async and does FS/config reads, so invoking it against the
unit test's /fake/cwd is fragile. The 6 sync Tier-1 routers stay in the
invocation loop; capability is covered by the non-invoking registry-
ownership assertion + the dedicated capability-* test suites.

* chore(#2143): fail-loud Result + per-surface write-set contract — Phase 3

Phase 3 of epic #2143 (ADR-2143 §5/§6). The three target bugs (#2140, #2112,
#2118) were already fixed tactically on next; this introduces the reusable
structural contracts and rewires the primary #2140 site onto them.

- src/write-set.cts (new): the parse `Result<T> = {ok,value|reason}` (§5) and the
  per-surface write-set (`WriteOutcome {surface, applied, requirement?}`,
  `WriteSet`, `writeSetComplete`) (§6). markdown-table.cts now imports + re-exports
  `Result` from here (single source; distinct from command-routing-hub's Result).
- requirements mark-complete (src/milestone.cts): returns a PER-REQUIREMENT,
  per-surface write-set; `write_set_complete` is true only if every surface of
  every requirement applied — structurally forbidding the #2140 OR-into-one-flag
  masking, including across a multi-ID batch (adversarial-review regression).
  Pre-existing output fields unchanged (behaviour-preserving; #2140 already fixed).
- deriveProgressFromRoadmap (src/phase-lifecycle.cts): removed the vestigial
  null-swallowing try/catch (findTableWithColumns never throws) — ADR §5 no-swallow;
  RoadmapProgress return contract unchanged.
- commit --files (#2112) and milestone complete --dry-run (#2118) left as-is
  (single-surface commit / pre-mutation preview — not genuine multi-surface writes).

* chore(#2143): markdown table model + schema registry + fail-loud pilot — Phase 1

Phase 1 of epic #2143 (ADR-2143): consolidate markdown table parsing onto a
canonical seam and migrate the pilot reader.

- Add src/markdown-table.cts: parseMarkdownTable (GFM tables -> typed
  {columns, rows} addressed by column NAME; ragged rows are typed parse
  errors, not silent), a single-source TABLE_SCHEMAS registry
  (RoadmapProgress / RequirementsTraceability / QuickTasks / Security, with
  variants under one id), matchTableSchema, and findTableBySchema. Result<T>
  is scoped to this seam (distinct from the dispatch Result).
- Migrate deriveProgressFromRoadmap (src/phase-lifecycle.cts) off the
  position-anchored regex to name-based resolution via the seam — fixes #2137
  (the 5-column milestone-grouped Progress table previously returned all-null).
- Add a schema-backed `gsd-tools quick-tasks-append` subcommand and route
  fast.md's log_to_state through it, retiring the inline `awk NF-2` column
  arithmetic — fixes #2133 (addresses #2012, #2119). Cell values are escaped
  (| and newlines) and the STATE.md read-modify-write is atomic under
  readModifyWriteStateMd (lost-update race, cf. #500/#905/#1230).
- Writer/reader/template parity test guards TABLE_SCHEMAS against drift
  (ADR-2143 §3 Generative-Fix-Divergence).

Registration: .gitignore, eslint.config.mjs, docs/INVENTORY.md +
INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json, CONTEXT.md glossary, docs/CLI-TOOLS.md.

Behaviour-preserving for the canonical 4-column Progress table; the named
bugs are driven fail-first. Extend-never-mutate (ADR-2143 §2).

* fix(#2242): read ROADMAP Progress table by column name — supersede #2168 ad-hoc scan

Rebase reconciliation with #2168 (the tactical #2137 fix that marked itself
"pending #2143"). deriveProgressFromRoadmap now resolves the Progress table via
a new seam helper findTableWithColumns (first table whose header is a superset of
Phase/Plans Complete/Status/Completed, any order, extra columns ignored) and reads
cells by NAME — order/injection-invariant per ADR-2143 §3 — instead of the exact
TABLE_SCHEMAS match. This satisfies #2168's column-invariance property test while
staying seam-based and preserving its `## Progress` scoping (#2012/#1445).
Ragged Progress tables now resolve to null (ADR-2143 fail-loud); updated the stale
state.test.cjs assertion that predated the Phase-1 migration.

  (workflow-delegation target — load-bearing; local-install verified intact).
- verificationStyle:"windsurf-workflows" folds the workflow-count report.
- Corrected stale _LEGACY_SCAN_SUBDIR_NAMES + hooks-json manifest comments (cursor + windsurf).
Zero live runtime==='windsurf'/isWindsurf branches remain across bin/install.js,
install-engine.cts, surface.cts, runtime-artifact-conversion.cts (AC2 guard scans all four).

UPGRADE (Cascade hook bus): wire GSD's write/command safety guards into Windsurf's
native hook bus. New hooksSurface 'windsurf-hooks-json' (VALID_HOOKS_SURFACES 7→8, GATE A
profile-marker-only allowlist, the HooksSurface union) + writeWindsurfHooksJson
(Cursor-templated, Cascade's flat {hooks:{<event>:[{command}]}} shape) writing
.windsurf/hooks.json with two BLOCKING pre-hooks:
- pre_write_code → gsd-windsurf-pre-write.js: blocks writes to a file outside the
  active git worktree / into .git internals.
- pre_run_command → gsd-windsurf-pre-command.js: conservative destructive-command
  deny-list (rm -rf of root/home incl. sudo/env/path-prefixed forms; fork bombs;
  force-push refspec forms — HEAD:main, +main, --force/-f — to main/master/next).
Both use Cascade's protocol (stdin JSON, exit 2 + stderr to block, exit 0 to allow,
fail-open on error/timeout). Tokenize-based classifier (no catastrophic-backtracking regex;
4096-char cap) with the fail-closed false-positives fixed post-review.

The 4 advisory GSD guards + pre_mcp_tool_use + 5 post_* logging events are deliberately
NOT wired: Cascade has no context-injection channel for advisory hooks and GSD has no MCP
guard — porting them would be non-functional padding (documented; codebuddy #2098 / copilot
#2099 faithful-subset precedent). extendedHookEvents stays [].

Golden: the 2 guard scripts ship in the shared hook bundle (HOOKS_TO_COPY + the shared
managed-hooks-registry), exactly like cursor's 6 gsd-cursor-*.js scripts — so the 8
shared-bundle runtimes' fixtures gain the 2 inert windsurf scripts + the registry hash
(functionally inert for non-windsurf; the established cursor pattern). No install-output
change beyond that (the folds are byte-parity; skip-bundle runtimes untouched). New scripts
registered in managed-hooks-registry + build-hooks + INVENTORY. Tests: declarative-reference-
windsurf (adapter/axes/fail-closed + AC2 guard) + windsurf-hooks-bridge (live exit-2 blocking
+ allow/fail-open + ReDoS-bound + writer/reconcile/remove idempotency); VALID_HOOKS_SURFACES
pin updated to 8. Matrix hookBus delta + changeset (Changed). capability-registry regenerated.

c1756d0cd5 chore(#1867): register ui-consideration probe + regen install cascade (SHIP-01)
Ship-safe registration + regenerated snapshots for the #1867 UI-consideration
probe (Phase 3, SHIP-01):

- CONTEXT.md: PROBE.ui.{verification,axis,seam} predicates + ui-consideration
  -probe added to PROBE.family (machine-canon for the 3rd adapter, MIXED axis).
- agents/gsd-ui-{researcher,checker}.md: one @-include of
  references/ui-consideration-probe.md each (both under the 24576 agent cap).
- docs/INVENTORY.md + INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json: register the reference doc and
  the compiled ui-consideration-probe.cjs (inventory-manifest-sync green).
- tests/fixtures/golden-install-parity/*.json (16 runtimes): recaptured against
  a clean full build — folds in the deferred Phase-1 (ref doc, plan-phase lift)
  and Phase-2 (ui-phase step, UI-SPEC section) install-surface changes.
- tests/agent-size-baseline.json: ratcheted the two grown UI agents.
- .changeset/vivid-orcas-chatter.md: type Added (pr updated at PR-open).

Inventory/golden/size gates green; lint:ci + lint:docs + lint:changeset green.
The plan-phase.md PRE_PHASE6 ceiling stays RED pending #1852 (unchanged).

015c3a7fda fix(#2071): extract install-time effort resolvers so effort sync stops requiring the un-shipped bin/install.js
`gsd-tools effort sync` crashed in every installed runtime (e.g. ~/.claude/gsd-core/)
with `Cannot find module '../../../bin/install.js'`: cmdEffortSync (src/commands.cts)
required the package-root bin/install.js for its install-time effort resolvers, but the
installer only copies the gsd-core/ subtree into a runtime home — bin/install.js is never
present there. So `effort` config changes silently never reached installed agents without
a full reinstall (exactly the gap #488 was meant to close). 4th instance of the recurring
"runtime code under gsd-core/ requires a file outside the shipped subtree via ../../../"
anti-pattern (#1223/#1920/#1383 were the prior three, all already mitigated).

Fix (ADR-457 direction — extract, single source): move readGsdEffectiveEffortConfig +
resolveInstallTimeEffort (with their _getGsdEffortCatalog + _readGsdConfigFile helpers)
out of the hand-authored bin/install.js into a new src/install-effort-resolver.cts that
compiles into the shipped gsd-core/bin/lib/install-effort-resolver.cjs. commands.cts now
requires it as a sibling (`./install-effort-resolver.cjs`) — always present in the
installed tree — instead of `../../../bin/install.js`. bin/install.js imports the same four
symbols back from the new module (it still calls them + re-exports them), so there is one
source of truth and no duplication/drift. The lazy manifest read is repointed from the
package-root layout (`.., gsd-core, bin, shared`) to the bin/lib layout (`.., shared`).

Scope note: this is one of four instances of the anti-pattern; the other three are already
shipped/guarded. A build-time guard rejecting new cross-boundary requires whose target isn't
in the installer copy manifest (to prevent instance #5) is recommended on the issue but kept
out of this fix.

Tests: tests/effort-sync-installed-runtime.test.cjs does a real minimal install into a temp
home (the golden-parity helper) and runs the issue's exact repro
(`gsd-tools effort sync --config-dir <temp>`), asserting no MODULE_NOT_FOUND for
bin/install.js. Fail-first verified: against pristine next the same test throws
`Cannot find module '../../../bin/install.js'` at cmdEffortSync; post-fix it syncs cleanly.

New module registered in .gitignore (ADR-457), eslint ignores, docs/INVENTORY.md +
INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json. bin/install.js is not shipped and the new module is under bin/lib
(excluded from golden parity), so no golden fixtures change.

6addeccd19 feat(ai-integration): API-coverage verify:pre gate (#1562)
Full API Coverage by Default — Opt Out, Never Opt In. A phase that integrates
an external API/SDK/service can no longer seal without a decided coverage matrix.

- src/api-coverage.cts: deterministic detector (compound verb+noun signal +
  <Service> API/SDK surface; stopword-guarded; strips fenced code) + matrix
  parse/validate/render with field-length caps.
- check api-coverage.verify-pre: blocking seal-time gate; phase arg resolved as
  a token under .planning/phases/ only (traversal-neutralized); validates
  COVERAGE.md or blocks iff a strong integration signal is detected and no
  matrix exists; fail-closed when phases tree exists but phase unresolvable.
- capabilities/ai-integration: workflow.api_coverage_gate config key (default
  true), plan:pre contribution, blocking verify:pre gate. Data-driven.
- gsd-core/workflows/verify-work.md: generic verify:pre gate dispatch.
- Tests: detector FP/FN + matrix validation + fast-check bijection; gate e2e.
  Code+security review findings fixed (stopword FP, scope containment, pipe/cap
  rejection, prompt-injection message hygiene).
- Regenerated registry/matrix/loop-host-contract/goldens/baseline + docs.

603593d41d fix(#1857): test gates normalize to one-shot + bounded timeout (no watch-mode hang)
A GSD verification gate resolves a project's test command and runs it. vitest
defaults to WATCH mode in an interactive TTY — exactly where a user runs
`gsd-execute-phase` — so a resolved `npm test`/`pnpm test` backed by vitest never
exited and the orchestrator waited indefinitely. Recovery needed the user to
manually prompt "something blocking?".

Fix — one shared helper + a bounded, surfacing timeout on the test-command gates:
- New pure module src/normalize-test-command.cts + `gsd-tools query
  normalize-test-command` verb: rewrites a resolved command to a best-effort
  one-shot form (direct vitest → `vitest run`; jest `--watch` → `--watchAll=false`;
  a package-manager `test` script whose package.json runner is watch-vitest →
  `CI=true` prefix; handles `--dir`; already-one-shot commands unchanged —
  never double-flagged). Named `normalize-test-command` (not `test-*`) so the
  file does not match node --test's default `test-*` discovery glob.
- The three gates that HUNG or silently-continued route through that ONE helper
  and bound execution with `timeout $(config-get workflow.test_gate_timeout)`
  (new config key, default 600s): the regression gate (extracted to
  execute-phase/steps/regression-gate.md since execute-phase.md is size-frozen —
  it shrank 93528→93132; ABORTS on exit 124), the post-merge gate, and the
  audit-fix gate (previously an UNBOUNDED `eval`). All name watch/dev mode on 124.
- verify-phase's gate was ALREADY bounded (a fixed `timeout 300`, not a hang), so
  it only gains the normalizer (so a watch runner exits fast) + a watch-mode hint
  on 124, staying under its frozen 40960-byte tier cap.

Security hardening (review): the normalizer only rewrites a runner named as a
standalone command TOKEN (so `run-vitest.js`/`make test-vitest`/paths are never
mangled), is length-capped and uses only linear-time split-based scanning (no
super-linear backtracking on an adversarial `workflow.test_command`), and reads
package.json only when it is a regular file (never blocks on a FIFO via `--dir`).

Config key `workflow.test_gate_timeout` (seconds, default 600) registered in the
schema manifest + templates/config.json + docs/CONFIGURATION.md (mirrors
workflow.cross_ai_timeout). New module registered in .gitignore, eslint ignores,
inventory manifest/index. All 16 golden-install-parity fixtures + workflow size
baseline regenerated for the changed shipped files; bin/lib is excluded from the
parity manifest.

Tests: tests/normalize-test-command.test.cjs (normalizer units incl. security
hardening) and tests/test-gate-watch-mode.test.cjs (the three core gates route
through the shared helper + configured timeout + exit-124 watch-mode hint;
verify-phase asserted as normalize-only/already-bounded).
tests/execute-phase-active-flags.test.cjs repointed at the extracted step;
tests/planner-language-regression.test.cjs allowlist comment updated.

e3262d94d3 feat(capabilities): add claude-orchestration capability (Workflow backend) (#1143)
Default-off, BETA, claude-only capability adopting Claude Code's Workflow tool
(/effort ultracode, Agent SDK >= v0.3.149) as an optional parallel-execution
backend for the GSD loop. Restores the wave parallelism + plan-checker + verifier
that #853 forces inline on Claude Code, and folds gsd-ultraplan-phase under one
runtime gate.

- Pure fail-closed core (src/claude-orchestration.cts): detectWorkflowBackend
  (gate ladder: enabled -> Claude -> backend != inline -> nested+background host
  -> valid Agent SDK -> SDK >= floor; every miss degrades to inline) and
  emitWorkflowScript (waves -> parallel() barriers, plans -> gsd-executor +
  worktree, files_modified overlap -> separate stages, resumeFromRunId, budget).
  All interpolated identifiers validated script-safe; briefs JSON-quoted.
- claude-orchestration command family (gsd-tools claude-orchestration
  detect-backend|emit-workflow) for orchestrator invocation.
- Two gated loop contributions at wired points (execute:wave:post, plan:post);
  federated config keys (enabled/execution_backend/min_agent_sdk_version).
- ADR-1143 implementation amendment; CONTEXT.md glossary entry; explanation doc.

On any runtime lacking the Workflow tool, behaviour is byte-identical to today.

8de2ff9121 feat(#2008): generic command-exit-zero gate-predicate evaluator (#2011)
* feat(#2008): add generic command-exit-zero gate-predicate evaluator

Third-party capability gates declared via check.predicate were rendered for
display but never evaluated (only built-in check.query gates fired; the
security capability's gate worked solely via a hard-coded ship.md branch).

Add a generic, deps-injected gate-predicate evaluator (src/gate-predicate-evaluator.cts)
that dispatches by predicate.kind. Built-in kind: command-exit-zero — runs a
bounded sh -c command at the project root (via shell-command-projection.execTool),
inherits env, exit 0 => pass, non-zero => block, timeout => block, fail-closed.

Wire a 'check predicate' subcommand into check-command-router.cts and extend
the three generic workflow gate-dispatch sites (execute:wave:post, execute:post,
plan:post) to route check.predicate gates to the new evaluator. The two-step
gate contract (command-failure => onError; block => halt) is unchanged.

- src/gate-predicate-evaluator.cts: pure leaf, KIND_TABLE extensible
- src/check-command-router.cts: cmdCheckPredicate + buildPredicateDeps + parsePredicateFlags
- docs/adr/2008-*, docs/reference/gate-predicates.md, docs/how-to/command-exit-zero-gate.md
- tests: 38 unit + integration tests (exit mapping, timeout, interpolation,
  property-based bijection, malformed-predicate fail-closed, real subprocess e2e)

5ae4ea4c84 feat(#1105): add external-job capability (SLURM scheduler-adapter producer half) (#1998)
* feat(#1105): add external-job capability (SLURM scheduler-adapter producer half)

The async external-job consumer half (#1165) shipped long ago: the core loop
reads .planning/async-jobs/<job>.json manifests and treats a non-terminal one
as the legal external_job_waiting half-state. The PRODUCER half (#1164) was
the remaining unimplemented piece of #1105.

This adds the producer as a default-off capability:

- capabilities/external-job/ — capability.json (execute:wave:post -> executor,
  plan:post -> planner contributions, external_job.* config keys, default-off)
  + fragments teaching runtime-budget classification and externalization.
- src/external-job.cts -> gsd-core/bin/lib/external-job.cjs — pure producer
  module: SLURM state -> manifest-status map (no guessing), manifest
  build/validate (versioned stability contract), sbatch/squeue/sacct parsers,
  and a fail-closed manifest writer (refuses a second non-terminal job for a
  plan_id already in flight; refuses to clobber a malformed manifest). fs/clock
  seams for deterministic tests.
- scripts/slurm-adapter.cjs — operator CLI (submit/poll/show) wrapping bounded
  sbatch/squeue/sacct subprocesses; surfaces manifest commands for confirmation
  and never auto-runs them (trust boundary).
- tests/external-job.test.cjs — 23 behavioral + fast-check property tests.
- docs/reference/long-running-operations.md + docs/how-to/async-external-jobs.md.
- CONTEXT.md glossary entry for the External-job Capability.
- Regenerated capability-registry.cjs; pruned the now-stale test-file-count
  allowlist entry (external-job is at the 2-file cap).

* chore(#1105): backfill PR number in changeset

* fix(#1105): sync capability artifacts + update registry shape-pin tests

gsd-test caught that adding the external-job capability requires its
dependent artifacts regenerated and its registry-shape drift absorbed:

- sync-manifest-versions: stamp 1.7.0-rc.2 into capability.json (was 1.0.0).
- gen-capability-matrix --write: regenerate docs/reference/capability-matrix.md.
- gen-inventory-manifest --write: regenerate docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json.
- check-gap-analysis-plan-post-e2e: plan:post now has 1 contribution
  (external-job planner fragment) instead of 0.
- execute-wave-post-gate-pipeline-e2e: execute:wave:post now has 2
  contributions (mempalace + external-job) instead of 1.

* fix(#1105): regenerate capability-registry after version stamp

sync-manifest-versions re-stamped external-job/capability.json from
1.0.0 to 1.7.0-rc.2 after the last registry regeneration, leaving the
committed capability-registry.cjs stale (CI gen-capability-registry
--check failed). gsd-test masked this because its setup runs the full
'npm run build' (which regenerates the registry); CI's 'npm test'
pretest only runs build:lib.

e5ef323b15 feat(#1787): add /gsd:next smart entry workflow (#1798)
* docs: design spec for /gsd smart-entry command

Hybrid approach porting gsd-pi's smart-entry wizard to gsd-core:
deterministic classifier (gsd-tools smart-entry --json) + markdown
command/workflow with AskUserQuestion + --text fallback. Routing-first
('what now?' menu), 10 situations redesigned for gsd-core's phase loop.

* feat: add /gsd-start smart-entry command

State-aware front door adapted from gsd-pi's smart-entry wizard,
redesigned for gsd-core's markdown-first, multi-runtime architecture.

- src/smart-entry.cts: deterministic situation classifier (no-project,
  paused, blocked, verify-failed, needs-first-phase, planning, executing,
  verify-pending, idle-stranded, complete, unknown). Reads STATE.md,
  ROADMAP.md, git, and verify signals; emits JSON the workflow consumes.
- gsd-tools.cjs: wire  case + help listing.
- commands/gsd/start.md + gsd-core/workflows/gsd.md: thin markdown
  dispatcher presenting an AskUserQuestion menu (with --text fallback for
  non-Claude runtimes) and dispatching to existing commands. Falls back
  to /gsd:progress if detection is unavailable.
- help.md: document /gsd:start (parity with bug-2954).
- tests: smart-entry.unit.test.cjs (classifier behavior across all
  situations + priority + JSON shape) and gsd-workflow.structure.test.cjs
  (markdown-layer invariants + every emitted command resolves to a real
  slash command).

Spec: docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-27-gsd-smart-entry-design.md
Note: command-contract (ADR-0002) requires a gsd:* prefix, so the bare
/gsd from the spec surfaces as /gsd-start.

* refactor: rename smart-entry command to /gsd:next

Rename the command from /gsd:start to /gsd:next per feedback. The
command file is now commands/gsd/next.md (name: gsd:next) and the
backing workflow is gsd-core/workflows/smart-entry.md (named for the
smart-entry classifier and gsd-tools smart-entry subcommand; does not
collide with the existing workflows/next.md, which is the progress
--next sub-workflow). help.md and the spec updated to match.

All affected tests (188) pass; lint:ci clean.

* fix: smart-entry reads real STATE.md schema (nested progress YAML + body Phase field)

Codex review found the classifier misread this repo's own STATE.md: it
looked only for scalar current_phase/total_phases frontmatter and body
fields named 'Current Phase'/'Total Phases', but real STATE.md stores
the phase as body 'Phase: N' and total_phases/percent under a nested
'progress:' YAML object. Both came back null, so active projects
(e.g. this repo at Phase 3 / verifying) wrongly classified as
needs-first-phase.

- detectSignals now reads total_phases + percent from nested progress{}
  first, then scalar fm, then body; current_phase falls back to the
  body 'Phase:' field (parseProsePhaseField lineage).
- Add regression tests against the real schema (nested progress YAML +
  body Phase field) covering verify-pending + executing situations.

Verified against this repo: now classifies verify-pending (was
needs-first-phase). Coverage 93.25% lines / 86.99% branches.

* fix(workflow): tiered fallback when gsd-tools is broken (not just smart-entry)

Live test exposed a self-defeating fallback: when smart-entry --json
failed because gsd-tools itself was broken (missing
markdown-sectionizer.cjs), the workflow fell back to /gsd:progress —
which also depends on gsd-tools and would dead-end too.

Replace the single /gsd:progress fallback with a tiered recovery:
1. Probe gsd_run state-snapshot. If it ALSO errors, the whole tool
   layer is down — read .planning/STATE.md directly with the Read tool
   and synthesize a minimal situation + actions menu so /gsd:next stays
   useful. Surface a rebuild hint.
2. Only if smart-entry alone is missing (older gsd-core), fall back to
   /gsd:progress as before.

Matches the direct-read resilience the live agent already did by hand.

Scope detectVerifyFailed to STATE.md's current phase so leftover higher
phase directories cannot force verify-failed routing. Move the gsd_run
shim resolver into the workflow resolve step so agents define gsd_run
before the detect step runs smart-entry.

* refactor(#1787): delegate /gsd:next in-project advancement to gated /gsd:progress --next

Reconciles the /gsd:next smart-entry front door with the existing
/gsd:progress --next engine (davesienkowski review on PR #1798). The
classifier previously recommended /gsd:execute-phase directly for the
`executing` situation, bypassing workflows/next.md Route 0
(resume-incomplete-phase invariant, #160) and Gates 1-3 — reproducing the
duplication that got the old flat /gsd-next removed (#3054), plus a
correctness hazard (executing the recorded current phase while an earlier
phase is silently incomplete).

Now planning/executing/verify-pending recommend `/gsd:progress --next`
(single gated engine); the specific command stays an explicit secondary.
Off-path states (no-project, paused, blocked, verify-failed,
idle-stranded, complete) keep direct recommendations — smart-entry's
distinct value over --next. Adds docs/adr/1787-gsd-next-smart-entry.md and
a regression test locking the delegation contract.

Pre-existing gap from #1683: these two src/*.cts modules compile to

but --test-force-exit already exits leaks cleanly). Diagnosis:

- Ran every shard-1/3 file WITHOUT --test-force-exit + a 45s kill-timer:
  zero hangs, zero leaks — every file self-exits. So no leaked handle / hang.
- CI activity profile: output kept flowing (slowly) right up to the 600.0s
  kill — a dead hang would go silent. => pure slowness.
- Per-file timing: install-minimal-hooks.test.cjs is a 4987-line / 250-case
  consolidation file doing dozens of real installs — 41s even on a fast Mac
  (much worse on the slow Windows I/O path), plus an install-heavy cluster.

Mechanism: MAX_FILES_PER_CHUNK=180 packed the whole ~171-file shard into ONE
`node --test` chunk, so the entire shard's wall-clock ran against a single
600s per-chunk backstop. On slow Windows runners that single chunk crossed
600s and was killed mid-run — an intermittent false-negative gate that also
hits `next` directly.

Fix: lower MAX_FILES_PER_CHUNK 180 -> 90 so each shard splits into ~2 chunks,
each with its own fresh 600s budget and a fresh node process (also relieves
per-process memory pressure). Verified locally: shard 1/3 now runs as
chunk 1/2 (90 files) + chunk 2/2 (81 files), 5323 tests, 0 fail. Also made the
timeout kill-message name slowness as a cause instead of asserting a leak, so
the next debugger isn't sent hunting a nonexistent handle leak.

1388e7a362 feat(#1683): published Host-Integration SDK surface + smoke test — Slice 2 (#1939)
The SDK entry (src/host-integration-sdk.cts) is the single PUBLIC surface a
host-plugin author imports: the negotiated schema + classification, the five
adapters (declarative/imperative/model/hook/state), and the serialized
handshake. Frozen so the public shape cannot be mutated. Everything else in
gsd-core stays internal.

tests/sdk-smoke.test.cjs imports ONLY from the SDK entry and builds a
third-party host-plugin end-to-end (compose adapters + handshake + classify) —
proving an external author can wire a host without gsd-core internals (#1683 AC).
ESLint-ignore + inventory manifest kept in sync for the new tsc-emitted module.
