9a69a86f42 enhance(#2971): strict planning filter mode for /gsd-pr-branch (#3720)
* test(#2971): failing-first suite for the pr-branch planning-path filter

Binds the not-yet-built planning.pr_strict mode and the corrected filter recipe
for /gsd-pr-branch across six layers: pure classification and forbidden-path
predicates, real-git fixtures that run the cherry-pick filter loop end to end,
config-key registration through the real CLI and both manifests, the executed
worktree-materialization claim the issue's triage asked to establish, fast-check
properties over arbitrary path sets, and a drift guard over the shipped workflow.

Two live defects in today's shipped recipe are pinned as regressions, both
reproduced empirically first: `git rm -r --cached` stages a deletion of any
.planning/ path the target branch already tracks, so the generated PR removes the
base branch's planning files; and the same command leaves the cherry-picked file
untracked on disk, so a second commit touching that path aborts the pick with
"untracked working tree files would be overwritten" and every remaining commit is
silently dropped.

The test helper parses the canonical path lists out of gsd-core/workflows/pr-branch.md
rather than restating them, so the workflow stays the single source of truth and the
suite cannot drift from what ships.

Refs #2971

* feat(#2971): strict planning filter mode for /gsd-pr-branch

Adds planning.pr_strict — a boolean, default false, that selects what
/gsd-pr-branch means by "filtered". Default mode is unchanged: structural
planning state survives into the PR branch and the nine transient
subdirectories do not. Strict mode drops every .planning/ path, structural
files included, and carries a commit over only when it touches at least one
file outside .planning/.

Strict mode is what makes planning.commit_docs: true safe for a project that
versions its planning tree locally but publishes none of it. The alternative
posture, commit_docs: false, silently costs parallel executor isolation — a
worktree is checked out from a commit, so an untracked or ignored .planning/
is simply absent inside it and the executor has no PLAN.md to read. That claim
is now established by an executed fixture rather than inherited.

The two path lists are declared once and both projections derived from them,
so create_pr_branch and verify can no longer disagree about what the filter
promised. verify previously counted every .planning/ path against a documented
success criterion of zero while create_pr_branch was specified to preserve five
structural files, so a correct run reported itself as failed on every phase
that touched STATE.md — which is every phase. It now asserts against the active
mode, and names the .planning/ paths default mode deliberately keeps rather
than trading a wrong signal for silence.

Two verified defects in the same recipe are fixed alongside, because strict
mode would have amplified both. `git rm -r --cached` staged a deletion for any
.planning/ path the target branch already tracked, so the generated PR removed
the base branch's planning files — under strict mode that would have been the
entire tree. The same command left the picked file untracked on disk, so a
second commit touching that path aborted the cherry-pick with "untracked
working tree files would be overwritten" and every remaining commit was
silently dropped. Both were reproduced against real git before being fixed.
The filter now forces excluded paths back to what the PR branch's HEAD carries,
in the index and the working tree; a conflict outside the filter halts instead
of being improvised past; a commit left empty by filtering is skipped rather
than failing. A clean-working-tree precondition makes the worktree half safe.

Closes #2971

* fix(#2971): unwind the checkout on a conflict halt, and test the real recipe

Two review findings, both fixed in place.

The isolated adversarial pass found that the conflict-outside-the-filter branch
exited while leaving the user checked out on the half-built PR branch with
cherry-pick state still live — this loop runs in the user's own working
directory, so stranding them there is a real cost even though it is not a
vulnerability. The branch now aborts the pick, returns to the original branch,
removes the partial PR branch, and says so before exiting.

The standards pass found the L2 fixtures executed a hand-written mirror of the
cherry-pick filter recipe rather than the recipe itself, so a reordering in the
workflow would not have been caught — and the order is load-bearing, since
restoring a path from HEAD before removing it inverts the filter. The helper now
extracts the canonical loop from the shipped workflow and the fixtures execute
that verbatim, which also gives the conflict-halt unwind above real coverage.
The drift guard additionally pins the two commands' relative order and asserts
the workflow carries exactly one canonical loop.

Also records the publication gate in the CONTEXT.md glossary next to the commit
gate it is distinct from.

Refs #2971

* fix(#2971): make the conflict-halt unwind actually unwind, and use the colon slash form

The remote matrix caught two defects in the previous commit.

The halt path claimed to restore the original branch but did not. `git
cherry-pick --abort` does not apply to a single `--no-commit` pick with no
sequencer file, and the fallback left the unmerged index in place, which makes
`git checkout` refuse — a failure the `2>/dev/null || true` then swallowed, so
the user was told they had been restored while still sitting on the half-built
PR branch. The unwind now drops sequencer state, hard-resets the disposable PR
branch to clear the unmerged index, and only claims a restore when the checkout
actually succeeded; when it does not, it says where the user is and gives them
the two commands to finish it by hand. Verified against real git: exit 1, the
conflict named, HEAD back on the original branch, the partial branch gone, a
clean tree and no CHERRY_PICK_HEAD.

Two runtime-loaded source artifacts used the retired `/gsd-<cmd>` hyphen form,
which names a command no runtime registers. The canonical authoring token for
workflows and references is `/gsd:<cmd>`; docs keep the hyphen form, so the
documentation added in this branch is unaffected. The comment in src/config.cts
moves to the colon form too, since it propagates into the generated lib.

8da2dd3ad2 feat(#2790): add read-only planning.inspect schema-v1 snapshot query (#3708)
* feat(#2790): add read-only planning.inspect schema-v1 snapshot query

Adds a read-only query emitting a schema-versioned JSON projection of .planning/
so downstream harness UIs can consume planning state without parsing GSD's
Markdown a second time.

Composed strictly from the ADR-3180 section 7 owners plus parsePlanDocument,
parseRequirements and parseUatItems; markdown structure is read through the
Markdown Sectionizer and Markdown Table Model seams. It declares its own flat
external schema rather than serializing PlanningSnapshot, which is the
diagnostic-rule subject and still growing.

Extracts plan-document parsing out of cmdPhasePlanIndex into a shared leaf
module so phase.plan-index and planning.inspect cannot drift, including the
plan-id derivation both surfaces report.

Also fixes parseRequirements dropping the separator delimiter used by the
shipped requirements template, surfaced while wiring the requirement rows.

* fix(#2790): close spec gaps and a raw-text test assertion found in review

Review findings from the standards, spec and security passes:

- phases[] rows carry goal and dependencies, the two per-phase elements the
  issue Summary names that had no corresponding field. Goal is bounded to the
  section's leading prose so the Depends-on line, the Plans checklist and the
  wave annotations are not duplicated into it.
- requirement rows carry their own diagnostic codes, so a consumer no longer
  has to string-parse the global diagnostics subject to correlate.
- roadmap_acceptance.checkbox is looked up through the phase-id key owners.
  It was compared raw against the on-disk directory name, so it read null for
  every real-world slugged phase directory and the evidence channel was inert.
- the hostile-input test asserts the structured payload instead of matching the
  raw stdout string. The absence proof over raw stdout is kept deliberately.

* fix(#2790): register planning in the runtime usage list and repair fixtures

Remote runner reported 9 failures on 9b3f9aa. Two root causes, both fixed:

- gsd-tools.cjs registered the planning family in HOST_COMMAND_ROUTERS but
  never added it to TOP_LEVEL_USAGE's Commands list. Those are two surfaces a
  parity test guards, and the top-of-file block comment is not the runtime
  help string. A real wiring gap that every local gate and three review passes
  missed.

- the new suite's fixtures could not produce a resolvable phase set. STATE.md
  frontmatter omitted the milestone field, which ADR-3180 7.2 rule 1 makes the
  primary milestone selector, so the phase set scoped unscoped and every
  percentage was correctly withheld. Separately declarePhase returned a path
  without creating the directory, so a phase declared but never written to left
  phases empty. Both reproduced against the built module before fixing.

No assertion was weakened. The withholding path is still exercised and still
returns null when the roadmap is absent.

* chore(#2790): backfill changeset pr number

* test(#2790): cover every enumerated matrix row and contain a symlink escape

Reverses a silent deferral. An earlier revision left 23 of the 78 enumerated
matrix rows unimplemented and 7 more as one-off manual checks, with a paragraph
in the artifact and the PR body describing the gap. CLAUDE.md is explicit that
such a note is not a fix and is not surfacing. The rows are implemented instead
and the manual-evidence bucket is gone: 49 test cases become 88, covering all 78.

Writing the symlink row proved a real leak: a *-PLAN.md symlinked outside
.planning/ had its content emitted into the payload, confirmed via a direct call
and the spawned CLI. readDocument now resolves target and planning root with
realpathSync and rejects an escape, returning the ordinary unreadable-document
shape. Tested both ways, because a containment check that over-rejects is its own
defect: an escaping symlink leaks nothing and degrades that plan alone, while a
legitimately relocated .planning/ symlink stays fully readable.

The three new modules are registered in the mutation COVERED registry, which had
been reporting has_work false and skipping the Stryker gate entirely. Provisional
non-binding floors so the shards run and report; raised to the measured value
before merge, since the registry forbids calibrating from a local run.

* fix(#2790): satisfy the mutation ratchet contract and scope the 1MB test

Remote runner reported 16 failures on 8c451ed. Two causes.

The COVERED registry has a paired contract the earlier commit violated: every
module needs a matching RATCHET_BASELINE entry, and minScore must be between 50
and 100 with minScore === baseline. The provisional floor of 1 was illegal on
both counts. All three modules now sit at 50 — the registry's own enforced
minimum — with matching baselines. The score cannot be measured locally: the
shard runs node --test, which this repo hard-blocks, so CI is the only source.
Floors are raised to the measured value once this PR's shards report; a shard
below 50 means the tests need strengthening, since the floor cannot go lower.

The 1MB test was measuring the test harness rather than the product. The command
handles the oversized payload correctly by spilling to a tmpfile and resolving it
back, but the resolved stdout then exceeds runGsdTools' maxBuffer and the helper
reports ENOBUFS. It now uses --pick so stdout stays one byte while the full 1MB
document is still read and parsed end to end.

* fix(#2790): wire containment across every document read this command drives

An isolated security review of the containment control found the boundary logic
sound but not comprehensively wired: two content reads reached the filesystem
without it.

An escaped phase DIRECTORY could enumerate external filenames into the file
fields and diagnostic subjects. Both enumeration sites now containment-check the
directory before reading. Worth recording that the leak was already prevented one
layer earlier than the review claimed: Dirent#isDirectory() reports false for a
directory symlink, so such a directory never becomes a phase row at all. The
guard is defense-in-depth for a direct caller and for platforms where a reparse
point reports as a directory.

A *-VERIFICATION.md symlinked outside the root leaked one frontmatter value
verbatim, because readVerificationStatus does its own read and copies an
unrecognized status into the payload's next_action. Closed from the consumer
side through that function's existing fs injection seam, so src/verification.cts
keeps its signature and its other callers are untouched.

The reviewer additionally rated a forged status: passed as an integrity bypass.
It is not: anyone able to plant the symlink can plant a real VERIFICATION.md
saying the same thing. The incremental risk is confidentiality, which is what
these fixes close.

src/plan-scan.cts is deliberately unchanged: isPlanSuperseded reads
symlink-followed content but yields only a derived boolean, no document text.

* test(#2790): give the mutation shards an in-process surface

Two Stryker shards were CANCELLED at the 15-minute cap, not failed on score.
CI log: 640 mutants instrumented, and the dry run reported 'Ran 1 tests in 20
seconds' because the shards pointed at the integration suite, where nearly every
case spawns a gsd-tools subprocess and Stryker's command runner treats the whole
test-runner invocation as a single test. 640 x 20s cannot finish in 15 minutes;
at the kill it was 27/640 with an ETA over an hour.

Every other COVERED module points at a property or unit file, and the workflow's
own paths filter lists exactly those two patterns. In-process is the intended
mutation surface; the shards were pointed at the wrong shape of test.

Adds tests/planning-inspect.unit.test.cjs — 39 cases in 10 describes that spawn
nothing and call the built modules directly. plan-document and the router need no
filesystem at all, one being a pure content-to-object parser and the other taking
an injected mock. The three shards now point here. The 91-case integration suite
is untouched and still runs in the normal test job.

* chore(#2790): ratchet mutation floors to the measured CI scores

CI run 32392791843 measured all three shards, which is the only source the
registry accepts — local runs count timeouts as kills and inflate badly.

  planning-command-router  95.65 -> floor 94
  plan-document            76.58 -> floor 75
  planning-inspect         57.03 -> floor 56

Applied the registry's own rule, floor(score) - 1, and updated RATCHET_BASELINE
to match, since the ratchet test enforces equality.

planning-inspect sits well below the file's target of 80 and is the obvious
ratchet candidate as its tests improve. planning-command-router already exceeds
the target. The placeholder comment about floors pending measurement is removed
rather than left standing as a false statement.

2fca0e17e4 enhance(#2554): resolve code review depth from path-scoped override rules (#3695)
* test(#2554): failing-first suite for path-scoped code review depth overrides

Binds the not-yet-built code-review-depth module: segment-aware path-prefix
matching of a changed-file set against ordered {paths,depth} rules, resolution
order flag > strongest matching rule > global > standard, typed validation
errors, and the large-scope downgrade boundary. Also proves behaviorally that
workflow.code_review_depth_overrides is not yet a registered config key.

Refs #2554

* feat(#2554): resolve code review depth from path-scoped override rules

Adds workflow.code_review_depth_overrides — an ordered array of {paths, depth}
rules matched against a review's changed-file set by segment-aware path-prefix
comparison. Resolution order is --depth= flag, then the strongest matching rule,
then workflow.code_review_depth, then standard; a matching rule replaces the
global rather than being max'd with it, so quick and standard rules stay
meaningful. Glob metacharacters are a hard configuration error rather than sugar
for a prefix, and malformed rules halt the review instead of degrading to
standard. The resolver is pure and reports its own provenance, so the workflow
can print the resolved depth and the rule that matched. The pre-existing
>50-file deep-to-standard downgrade moves into the module and now names the rule
it overrode.

The key is registered centrally rather than as a capability config slice: the
federated slice channel admits only boolean/string/number/enum, so an array
slice would be dropped as malformed.

Closes #2554

* test(#2554): correct depth-provenance assertions and pin out-of-repo paths

Two corrections to the failing-first suite. The source assertion for a
non-matching rule with no global configured expected 'config'; with no global
set the depth comes from the default, and a companion assertion tolerated
either value, so both passed against an implementation that derived provenance
from whether any rules existed rather than from where the depth came from.

The out-of-repo absolute-path case used a home-directory path that matched
neither implementation, so it never exercised the defect it named. It now pins
the discriminating cases: an absolute path outside the repo root must not match
a repo-relative rule, and one under the root must.

* docs(#2554): document path-scoped code review depth overrides

Reference rows for workflow.code_review_depth_overrides in the configuration,
features and commands references plus the locale copies that carry those tables,
and in the planning-config reference. Explanation of why escalation is
whole-review rather than per-file and why v1 is prefix-only. New how-to for
scoping review depth by path, carrying the configuration-error reason table and
the distinction between nothing to report and could not look. CONTEXT.md
glossary entry and the INVENTORY row for the new CLI module.

ja-JP and ko-KR CONFIGURATION.md carry no code_review keys at all, and ko-KR and
pt-BR FEATURES.md carry no code-review config table, so those files are
deliberately untouched.

* fix(#2554): make the depth-misconfiguration halt executable and reject control chars

Three review findings, all in this change.

The misconfiguration halt was prose rather than shell: the error-printing fence
was followed by an unconditional extraction fence, so an ok:false result threw
and left the depth empty instead of stopping the review. Prose is not a guard —
the two fences are now one block with a real conditional, and anything that is
not the literal string true fails closed.

An interior control character in a rule path survived validation and reached the
provenance string and the summary box; rule paths now reject control characters
via a new PATH_CONTROL_CHAR reason, after the glob check so precedence is
unchanged. That in turn makes the field record safe to delimit, so the seven
node invocations that each re-parsed the same result to read one field collapse
to one.

Also corrects the glossary entry's illustrative paths, which the glossary-ref
check read as real repository references.

* fix(#2554): use the fast-check v4 string API and acknowledge workflow growth

Two failures from the remote matrix on d3111f45, both this branch's.

The property block built its segment arbitrary with fc.stringOf, removed in
fast-check v4. Because the arbitrary is constructed in the describe body, the
throw took out all four property tests rather than one — they had never
executed. Rewritten to fc.string({unit, ...}), the form this repo already uses
in emitted-attribution.test.cjs. Every other fast-check helper in the file was
audited against the installed module.

The emitted-attribution growth arm needed an acknowledgment for code-review.md,
which grew 5376 bytes. The pre-existing 3503 fragment keying the same file is
spent — its ripple was absorbed when #3503 merged, and the base file is exactly
the 34435-byte baseline this growth is measured against — so it cannot clear
anything, while the ack lint hard-fails on a duplicate key across two sources.
Removed it in favor of the new fragment, which is exactly how #3503 itself
replaced the spent 3191 fragment.

79781e68eb enhance(#2401): ground verify-command paths and inherit prior-phase commands (#3678)
* feat(#2401): ground <automated> verify-command paths and inherit prior-phase commands

Adds a deterministic resolvability probe over each PLAN.md <automated> verify
command and surfaces the nearest prior phase's proven commands to the planner
at every context window.

- src/verify-command-grounding.cts: recognizer (not a shell interpreter) that
  grounds a leading cd <literal> chain and npm --prefix <literal>, and reports
  unresolvable rather than guessing. Never executes command text.
- gsd-tools check verify-command-paths <N>: per-phase probe, wired into
  plan-phase.md before the plan-check pass.
- init.plan-phase gains prior_verify_commands, ungated by context_window.
- gsd-plan-checker: new Verify Command Path Resolvability dimension that
  reports the failing target and never prescribes a replacement.

Also fixes first-match-wins prefix bucketing in scripts/lint-test-file-count.cjs
(readdir order is not stable across platforms, so a module whose name extends
another's with a hyphen bucketed differently on Linux than on macOS).

Closes #2401

* fix(#2401): ground the canonical --prefix form, quoted paths, and absolute cd resets

Independent review found three defects in the recognizer:

- npm --prefix DIR run SCRIPT never reached the script-existence check,
  because the pattern required npm and run to be adjacent. That is the
  form the docs tell planners to prefer, so script_missing never fired
  for it. The prefix flag and its value are now stripped before matching.
- --prefix captured with \S+, so a quoted path containing a space was
  truncated to a stray opening quote and reported as a missing directory
  - a false blocker, worse than the bug this feature fixes. The capture
  is now quote-aware.
- A chained cd whose later segment was absolute concatenated instead of
  resetting, producing a nonsense path and another false blocker. The
  fold now resets on an absolute segment.

Also replaces the bespoke phase-directory regex with the canonical
phase-id helpers. Real phase directories are NN-slug, not phase-N-slug,
so the prior-command harvest matched nothing outside its own fixtures
and the planner-inheritance half of this feature was dead code.

* refactor(#2401): source task blocks from the canonical sectionizer

The module carried its own copy of the <task>-block grammar - a fourth
hand-rolled mirror of the one markdown-sectionizer owns. verify.cts keeps
its copy only because it needs the type= attribute the canonical helper
discards; this module never reads that attribute, so it can share the
owner outright instead of adding a test around a copy.

extractAutomatedCommands now takes task bodies from extractTaggedBlocks
and the out-of-task remainder from stripTaggedBlocks. A task-grammar
parity test pins the attributed task-name set against the canonical
helper across six awkward task shapes.

* fix(#2401): extract agent-file overflow to references and repair the property arbitrary

The remote matrix run came back red with 19 failures, four root causes:

- agents/gsd-plan-checker.md and agents/gsd-planner.md both blew the
  49152 agent cap. Their bodies move to gsd-core/references/, leaving
  @-reference stubs, per the documented overflow pattern.
- The new checker dimension invoked gsd_run before the canonical
  preamble that defines it. The call is deleted outright: plan-phase.md
  already runs the probe and hands the result in as {VERIFY_PATHS}, so
  the dimension consumes that rather than re-running anything.
- fc.fullUnicodeString does not exist in fast-check 4.8.0. Replaced with
  fc.string({ unit: 'binary' }), which covers the same 0000-10FFFF range.
- Three runtime-loaded files grew; acknowledged in the existing ack
  fragments that already own those bare filenames, since two ack sources
  may never name the same path.

Adding two files under gsd-core/references/ changes what the installer

delta is exactly the two new reference paths per runtime, no removals.

* chore(#2401): backfill changeset pr number to 3678

* fix(#2401): treat ~ as a home expansion only at the start of a path

Windows CI caught this on both shards; the Linux-only remote matrix
cannot see it. The dynamic-path refusal rejected ~ anywhere, and a
GitHub Windows runner's tmpdir is an 8.3 short name -
C:\Users\RUNNER~1\AppData\Local\Temp - so a valid absolute Windows
path came back unresolvable/dynamic_path.

This was a production bug, not a test artifact: any Windows user whose
project path carries an 8.3 short name, or any literal ~, silently lost
the probe entirely - every command degrading to unresolvable with no
explanation.

~ is a home expansion only at the start of a path; elsewhere it is an
ordinary literal. The check is now split: $, backtick, *, ? and newline
stay refused anywhere (substitution and globs, and the glob characters
are illegal in Windows path components regardless), while ~ is refused
only leading, tolerating one leading quote since the check runs before
quote stripping.

The prior tests only caught this on Windows because only Windows puts a
~ in tmpdir. Four new tests pin it on every platform via a fixture
directory literally named RUNNER~1.

9e4f0e99ad fix(#3631): exclude only __pycache__-resident bytecode from the consent digest (#3650)
* test(3631): failing-first coverage for bytecode-cache in the consent hash

bundleContentHash digests a walk with no exclusion, so a routine 'python3 -m unittest'
inside a Python-backed capability bundle writes __pycache__ under the bundle, the
recomputed hash stops matching the consent record, and the capability silently goes
inactive — no error, no warning, and loop render-hooks then omits its step and gate.

Two distinct triggers, and the second is the sharper one: collectBundleEntries pushes a
{kind:'dir'} entry for EVERY directory and the digest emits a TAG_DIR marker for it, so an
EMPTY __pycache__/ flips the hash before a single .pyc is written. A fix filtering only
*.pyc would leave that live. Verified by execution against the built lib: 5 of 7 probe
rows diverge from intent today, including the empty-directory row.

The anti-regression rows are the point of the shape: editing a real scripts/m.py and
adding node_modules/pkg/index.js must BOTH still change the hash. node_modules is
deliberately not excludable — its contents are required at runtime, so dropping it from
the digest would stop consent binding executable content. The symlink row pins ordering:
exclusion must apply after the lstat fail-closed rejection, never before.

Refs #3631

* fix(3631): exclude derived bytecode caches from the consent digest

RED proven at e5ba8f1fe on the remote runner: 8 failures, exactly the rows predicted to
fail, with the four anti-regression rows already green.

collectBundleEntries now skips a hardcoded, gitignore-independent set from the DIGEST:
basenames __pycache__, .pytest_cache, .DS_Store, and any .pyc/.pyo file. Matching is
byte-exact on the raw Buffer name (the walk never utf8-decodes) and case-sensitive, so the
digest does not vary with how a name happens to be spelled on a case-insensitive volume.

Three properties were preserved deliberately, each pinned by a test:

  - The filter runs AFTER the lstat symlink/non-regular fail-closed rejection. Filtering
    first would have turned the exclusion into a way to smuggle a symlink past the check;
    a symlink named x.pyc still throws.
  - Excluded entries still count toward BUNDLE_MAX_FILES and BUNDLE_MAX_TOTAL_BYTES. The
    caps guard the WALK; the digest answers a different question, and exclusion must not
    become an unbounded-bytes hole.
  - An excluded DIRECTORY is neither emitted as a TAG_DIR marker nor recursed into. The
    directory marker was the sharper half of this bug: an empty __pycache__ flipped the
    hash before any .pyc existed, so a *.pyc-only filter would have left it live.

The issue proposed either a gitignore-aware walk or a list including node_modules. Both
are rejected. A consent binding must not delegate its scope to a .gitignore the bundle
author does not control — one line there would drop arbitrary executable content out of
the hash. And node_modules holds code that is required at runtime; excluding it would stop
consent binding executable content, turning a usability bug into a supply-chain hole. What
makes __pycache__ different is that CPython validates each .pyc against its sibling
source, which remains hashed, so a real code change still invalidates consent.

Docs: CONTEXT.md's 'EVERY regular file AND directory' claim is corrected in place.
ADR-2363's residual-gap section said the walk had 'no exclusions' — per
docs/adr/README.md ('ADRs are append-only') that is corrected by a dated amendment rather
than an in-place edit. Its D4 argument is unaffected: skill bodies are .md and stay bound.

Fixes #3631

* fix(3631): narrow the digest exclusion after two isolated security reviews

The first cut of this fix passed the full suite and was still wrong. Both orthogonal
reviews rejected it, and the second one found a hole that has nothing to do with Python.

HIGH — an excluded DIRECTORY was 'continue'd before recursion, so its whole subtree was
permanently outside the digest. Declared hook script paths allow '_', '.' and '/' with no
directory or extension rule, so hooks:[{script:'__pycache__/run.js'}] installed, executed
via node, and its bytes could be rewritten forever without moving the hash. Ship benign
v1, collect consent, then own the machine. No Python involved.

FALSE RATIONALE — the justification I wrote into the code, CONTEXT.md, the ADR amendment
and the changeset claimed CPython validates a cached .pyc against its sibling source, so
the source staying hashed kept consent honest. That is not true, and I proved it by
execution rather than argument: default timestamp invalidation compares only the source's
mtime and size, both settable by anyone who can write the bundle. A forged pyc ran while
the .py was byte-identical.

Also wrong: '*.pyc' matched anywhere, but a legacy sourceless scripts/x.pyc IS importable,
so excluding it was a live vector.

Narrowed to what is actually defensible:
  - a DIRECTORY named __pycache__/.pytest_cache has only its TAG_DIR marker suppressed;
    the walk still recurses and hashes every non-excluded child.
  - .pyc/.pyo are excluded ONLY when the parent basename is exactly __pycache__.
  - a regular FILE named __pycache__, and a DIRECTORY named x.pyc, stay bound.
  - declared hook paths containing a __pycache__/.pytest_cache segment or a .pyc/.pyo
    basename are now rejected in both validator copies — a file named .pyc can contain
    perfectly valid JavaScript, so the exclusion must not be reachable from a declared
    surface.

Accepted residual risk, stated plainly in ADR-2363 and CONTEXT.md instead of explained
away: a forged __pycache__/mod.pyc matching an unmodified, still-hashed mod.py executes
without moving the digest. Before this change that write was detected. It is accepted to
stop routine bytecode caching from silently deactivating capabilities, and it is bounded —
the attacker needs post-consent write access, everything outside __pycache__/*.pyc stays
hashed, and no declared surface can point into the excluded space.

Known limitation, not papered over: .pytest_cache CONTENTS still move the digest. Only the
directory marker is suppressed. Excluding that subtree would reopen the HIGH finding.

Refs #3631

* fix(3631): drop the .DS_Store exclusion and pin what the caps actually bind

Second round of isolated review findings. The hardening closed the two original holes —
both re-reviews confirmed that by execution — but it introduced a new one of the same
shape, and left three claims unbacked.

HIGH, self-inflicted: .DS_Store was excluded from the digest at any depth, but the hook
path validator was hardened only for __pycache__/.pytest_cache/.pyc/.pyo. So
script:'hooks/.DS_Store' was ACCEPTED, runnableHookCommand emits the bare quoted path for
a non-.js name (the branch .sh hooks already use), and capability-source copies it with
its mode bit intact. Ship it +x with a benign shebang, take consent, then rewrite it
forever — the digest never moves. Fixed by DELETING the .DS_Store exclusion rather than
teaching the validator about it: .DS_Store has nothing to do with this issue's Python
bytecode symptom, and an excluded filename is a permanently unhashed name. The narrower
the exclusion, the smaller the hole.

The residual-risk bound in ADR-2363 and CONTEXT.md claimed declared surfaces cannot reach
excluded space. That is false and is now stated correctly: node resolves an unregistered
extension through the default .js handler, so a hashed, consent-covered hooks/run.js that
requires '../__pycache__/mod.pyc' reaches it in one hop. The validator guard raises the
bar for DECLARED surfaces; it does not contain the risk. The two bounds that are real —
post-consent write access required, everything outside __pycache__/*.pyc still hashed —
are kept.

The BUNDLE_MAX_FILES boundary test had gone vacuous: it padded with root-level *.pyc,
which the hardening made non-excluded, so it no longer proved anything about excluded
entries while the ADR claimed the caps were test-pinned. It now pads __pycache__/f{i}.pyc,
with the arithmetic re-derived by execution (capability.json + the still-counted
__pycache__ dir + N). BUNDLE_MAX_TOTAL_BYTES had zero coverage at all and is now pinned by
a sparse 32 MiB __pycache__/big.pyc that must still trip the size cap — the test that
proves exclusion did not become an unbounded-bytes hole.

Added the parity assertion CLAUDE.md's Generative Fix Divergence rule requires for the two
isSafeHookScriptPath copies, and proved it can fail: mutating one BUILT copy to drop .pyo
made the parity check report the divergence. Also pinned semantics that were correct but
untested and would have survived mutation — __pycache__/sub/x.pyc stays hashed (the parent
resets to sub, which is the recursion threading itself), .pytest_cache/y.pyc stays hashed,
and .pyo in both directions, which was a free surviving mutant.

Changeset rewritten: it still described the rejected wholesale-exclusion semantics.

2972da4c9d enhance(#3619): ratchet the platform seam with local/no-private-binary-resolution (epic #3411 Phase 3) (#3636)
* chore(#3619): ratchet the platform seam with local/no-private-binary-resolution

Epic #3411 Phase 3, the ratchet. Scope revised with maintainer approval and
recorded on the issue: the epic's literal ask was a rule rejecting a bare-name
spawn outside the seam. Surveyed at ac1b6d679, ~30 such sites exist and none is
a defect — git, gh and npm ship native .exe that CreateProcess resolves unaided,
and the rest are POSIX-only tools. ADR-1703 rules 2 and 3 forbid grandfathering
and escape hatches, so a literal rule would be unsuppressable and would force
rewriting 30 correct calls.

The epic's actual thesis was four private RESOLVERS, not four bare spawns. So
the rule flags re-implementing resolution: reading PATHEXT in any casing from
any object, and a hardcoded list carrying two or more of .exe/.cmd/.bat/.com —
precisely the shapes fallow-runner's candidateNames and gsd-tools' PATHEXT
string had before Phases 1 and 2 deleted them.

Three boundaries were arrived at rather than assumed:

  two-or-more   a single .endsWith('.cmd') is a classification, not a candidate
                set; runtime-hooks-surface derives .cmd shim paths that way
  boundary-aware  a naive substring test flags .execute and .compacting, caught
                on src/host-integration.cts before it could become a false
                positive nobody could suppress
  suffix-anchored  the seam exemption matches src/shell-command-projection.cts
                exactly; a substring match would also exempt the dispatch test
                file. Case I9 pins it.

PATH scans are deliberately NOT flagged — membership checks (bin/install.js)
are indistinguishable from resolution scans, and an unsound rule in a
zero-escape-hatch architecture is worse than no rule.

To make the ratchet strict with no carve-out, resolveExecutableBinary gained
pathOverride: search THIS PATH, read everything else including PATHEXT from the
ambient environment. resolveFallowBinary now supplies its own search path
without hand-threading PATHEXT, which would itself have been a private read.
The three alternatives were all worse: exempting the file is grandfathering,
exempting the AST shape is a carve-out every future caller must replicate, and
dropping the pass-through would silently ignore a user's real PATHEXT — buying
a lint rule with a correctness regression.

eslint-rules/** is outside the rule's globs rather than exempted, because
portability-vocab.cjs owns the extension set. scripts/**/*.cjs got its own block
so that exclusion does not leave a hole in the ratchet.

Started green with nothing suppressed. Proven able to fail: a fixture with both
signals reports two errors.

Refs #3411

* fix(#3619): close the PATHEXT destructuring evasion and correct two overclaims

Adversarial review found a trivial evasion of the rule's primary signal: the
visitor only handled MemberExpression, so

  const { PATHEXT } = process.env
  const { PATHEXT: exts } = process.env
  const { Pathext } = opts.env

were all unflagged. That is a common idiom, not an exotic bypass. An ObjectPattern
visitor now catches it in every form — renamed, any casing, any receiver, string
keys — while leaving a computed key alone, since it is not statically decidable.
I10-I13 pin the invalid forms and V9/V10 pin PATH and the computed key.

Two overclaims corrected, both mine:

Standards review proved the docs were factually wrong. Both the ADR amendment and
the CONTEXT.md entry asserted that tests/shell-command-projection-dispatch.test.cjs
is still linted by this rule. It is not — the rule's surface is src, gsd-core/bin,
scripts and hooks, and tests/** is deliberately outside it because test setup
legitimately assigns process.env.PATHEXT (fallow-runner's P3 does exactly that).
The suffix-vs-substring distinction is therefore proven by RuleTester case I9
feeding a synthetic filename, NOT by real coverage of that file. Both documents now
say so.

The rule's own docstring claimed the seam exemption matches the seam path
'exactly'. It is a suffix match, so a nested foo/src/shell-command-projection.cts
would also be exempt. Suffix matching is kept — it is how sibling rules resolve
paths and the nested case does not exist — but the docstring now states the
boundary rather than overstating the precision.

The evasion fix was verified by executing eslint against both destructuring forms
in scripts/, not by inspection. Probe: 31/31.

0f417aa6d0 fix(#3584): the verb owns the count token and nothing else (#3635)
* test(3584): failing-first coverage for Plans-line trailing text

roadmap update-plan-progress preserves trailing text only when the line begins with a
canonical count token. Every other phrasing — including the TBD value the shipped
template itself suggests — is replaced to end-of-line, and a sentence wrapping onto a
second line has its first line deleted, leaving the continuation standing alone so the
roadmap asserts something nobody wrote. Exit 0, updated:true, and the diff reads as a
routine count bump.

These tests fail on that, and pin the arms that must keep working: the template
placeholder is still replaced, the #2853 token-plus-annotation path is unchanged, CRLF is
neither stranded nor duplicated, and a run that leaves the line alone still updates the
Progress table and checkboxes rather than becoming a no-op.

* fix(3584): the verb owns the count token and nothing else

RED proven at 105bdf7c: 7 failures — the preserving cases (freeform prose, wrapped
continuation, TBD, CRLF) failed while the template-placeholder and #2853 token arms
passed on base.

The trailing-text guard fired only when the line began with a canonical count token:
 dropped the rest of the line whenever the
regex's count group did not match. #2853 fixed end-of-line truncation on that one path
only. The in-code comment justified the rest as 'the fresh-template bracketed placeholder
or other freeform guidance, not user prose' — a heuristic that misreads ordinary human
phrasing and destroys even TBD, the value the shipped template itself suggests at
templates/roadmap.md:37.

The sharper failure was the wrapped sentence: only the first line is inside the match, so
the verb deleted line one and left line two standing alone, leaving the roadmap asserting
something nobody wrote — at exit 0, updated:true, in a diff that reads as a routine count
bump.

Inverted the default into three arms. A real count token is rewritten with its annotation
preserved (unchanged, #2853). A bracketed placeholder is detected POSITIVELY and replaced.
Everything else — freeform prose, TBD, a wrapped sentence's first line, an empty value —
returns the match untouched. That last arm resolves the wrapped case by construction: an
untouched first line cannot orphan its continuation.

Positive detection is the load-bearing part. Implemented as 'not a count token, therefore
disposable', rows 1-3 come straight back; the detector instead asks whether the value IS a
bracketed placeholder.

Leaving the line alone does not make the verb a no-op: the phase checkbox, the
Progress-table cells and the plan-checklist row still update in the same run, and that is
asserted. CRLF is unaffected in every arm — the pattern's [^\r\n]* never consumes the
\r, so it sits outside the match regardless of which arm runs.

Fixes #3584

* fix(3584): detect the template placeholder by its text, not by its brackets

Two defects in the arm-2 detector shipped in fc23e49e, both found in review.

Finding A: isBracketedPlaceholder asked only whether the trimmed value was wrapped
in [...]. Brackets are ordinary prose punctuation in a roadmap, so any hand-written
bracketed note — '[Deferred pending re-scope]', '[blocked on #1234]' — was classified
as the fresh-template placeholder and destroyed. That is the very defect #3584 is
about, reintroduced one arm over. The detector now matches the placeholder's TEXT
(/^\[\s*Number of plans\b[\s\S]*\]$/i), so it recognizes the shipped template
value and its short form and nothing else.

Finding B: the count group matched '\\d+\\s+plans' only. The plural is not the
template's own output shape — templates/roadmap.md:62 ships '1 plan' — so a
single-plan phase fell through every arm and its line froze permanently, never
updating again. Widened to 'plans?'. This one was introduced by the arm-3 default:
before it, the singular fell through to the old replace-everything path and at
least stayed current.

Cases 11-14 cover both: a bracketed human note preserved, the short placeholder
still replaced, '1 plan' rewritten, and '1 plan (annotation)' rewritten with the
annotation intact. Verified against the live binary, not just re-read.

Also converted all 15 cases in this block from try/finally to t.after(), per
CONTRIBUTING.md:356-370 which bans try/finally in test bodies. The existing #2853
block above is untouched — it is not in this change's scope and its conversion is
not this fix's concern.

ac1b6d679f enhance(#3618): fold fallow-runner onto the canonical binary resolver (epic #3411 Phase 2) (#3633)
* chore(#3618): fold fallow-runner onto the canonical binary resolver

Epic #3411 Phase 2. src/fallow-runner.cts was the fourth divergent
implementation of Windows binary resolution the epic enumerated —
candidateNames, isExecutableFile, findInPath, findInNodeModules, 40 lines.
All four are deleted; resolveFallowBinary is one seam call.

Two OPT-IN options were added to resolveExecutableBinary to make the fold
behavior-preserving, both defaulting off so Phase 1's callers are byte-identical:

  prependPaths      dirs searched before env.PATH, in order, through the
                    identical per-directory candidate logic. This expresses
                    node_modules/.bin-first precedence without env surgery —
                    the rejected alternative re-introduced the
                    spread-loses-the-proxy hazard the Windows lane caught in
                    Phase 1, at every future call site instead of once.
  requireExecutable POSIX-only accessSync(X_OK); a no-op on win32 where mode
                    bits do not mean execute. Opt-in rather than default
                    because unconditional X_OK breaks #3445's suite, which
                    stages candidates with plain writeFileSync and never sets
                    an exec bit — the repo bans chmod in tests — so every one
                    would resolve to null on POSIX.

Deliberate behavior change on Windows: fallow's prior candidate list ended in a
BARE fallow. The seam never tries a bare name there, so an extensionless file
beside fallow.cmd is no longer resolved. That is the fix, not a regression — the
extensionless file is npm's POSIX sh shim, which CreateProcess cannot run
(#3275). Rows 7 and 8 of the design record it.

Defect found while working, fixed inline: the resolution order was documented
BACKWARDS as PATH-then-.bin in structural-pre-pass.md, docs/INVENTORY.md and
four INVENTORY translations. The code has always been .bin first, and .bin first
is correct — a project-local tool should beat a global one. The archived
changeset is left alone as a historical record.

fallow-runner had no test file at all. tests/fallow-runner.test.cjs is new
(F1-F15) and the seam options are pinned by S1-S12 folded into the existing
dispatch suite. RED proven by execution: with both source files stashed and
build:lib re-run, 7 of 27 probe cases failed.

Refs #3411

* chore(#3618): backfill changeset pr number 3633

* fix(#3618): assert both platform contracts in F4 instead of a POSIX-only premise

Windows CI on #3633 failed F4. The test monkeypatched accessSync to throw and
asserted resolveFallowBinary returned null — but that premise, that the X_OK
check is consulted at all, is POSIX-only by design. requireExecutable is a
deliberate no-op on win32 because Windows mode bits do not mean execute, so the
staged fixture correctly resolved there.

40-design.md's negative-space section already states this carve-out verbatim.
The test contradicted the design it was written from: fixtures were made
platform-adaptive in the previous commit, and this assertion was left
platform-blind.

F4 now asserts BOTH contracts — null on POSIX, resolves on win32 — rather than
skipping either. A t.skip on one lane would have been green and would have left
the win32 carve-out unpinned by fallow's own entry point.

Audited every other row for the same class. F1-F3, F5, F6, F11-F15 hold on both
platforms; F7-F10 and S1-S12 inject platform explicitly and are unaffected. F4
was the only row with a single-platform premise.

The local probe runs on one platform and structurally cannot catch this, which
is why it was green — that limitation is now stated at the top of the probe so a
green probe is not mistaken for platform coverage. The win32 branch was proven
by injecting platform:'win32' with accessSync throwing and asserting it still
resolves.

46f14c621e fix(#3583): one percent per write — route update-progress through the shared computation (#3634)
* test(3583): failing-first coverage for one percent per write

state update-progress computes plan throughput (summaries/plans) for stdout and the
body Progress bar, while the same write re-derives frontmatter progress.percent as
min(planFraction, phaseFraction). Neither consults the other, so mid-phase the file
contradicts itself and state json disagrees with the verb that just wrote it.

These tests fail on that: equality across stdout, body bar, frontmatter and state json
on fixtures where the two fractions differ, plus a derivation-parity test that fails if
completedPhases is ever derived by summary parity instead of verification-passed status.

Also updates three pre-existing tests that pinned stdout to the plan-throughput value
(50->0, 50->0, 100->0). Those fixtures have summarized-but-unverified phases, so the old
expectations encoded the bug; changing them IS the fix, as the issue states explicitly.

* fix(3583): one percent per write — route the verb through the shared computation

RED proven at 7dbbb2d2: 9 failures — the new cross-surface equality tests, the withhold
test, and the pre-existing tests whose expectations encoded the bug.

state update-progress computed plan throughput (summaries/plans) for stdout and the body
Progress bar, while the SAME write re-derived frontmatter progress.percent as
min(planFraction, phaseFraction) through a separate path. Neither consulted the other, so
on any project where plan throughput ran ahead of phase completion — the normal mid-phase
state — the file contradicted itself and state json disagreed with the verb that had just
written it. Exit 0, no signal.

This is not a dispute about which metric is right. The min cap is deliberate (#3242 Bug B)
and is untouched; the fix aligns the printed and body values WITH it. Verified by diff:
computeProgressPercent's definition and cmdStateSync are both unmodified.

The verb now takes its percent from buildStateFrontmatter — the single owner of the
isPhaseComplete-based completedPhases count and the ROADMAP-union totalPhases logic that
the frontmatter sync later uses inside the same read-modify-write. Both calls hit the same
disk-scan cache against the same on-disk state, so they cannot disagree. Reusing that
owner, rather than re-deriving completedPhases locally, is the point: a second
almost-identical derivation is the very defect class being fixed, and a parity test now
fails if anyone swaps it for summary parity.

The first cut fell back to plan throughput when the shared computation withheld. That
reintroduced the defect in a rarer case — stdout would print a number the frontmatter
deliberately did not contain — so it is gone. The verb now withholds in the same shape as
its existing #3217 and #3233 guards. That path is reachable, not theoretical: a bare vX.Y
token in ROADMAP prose with no versioned heading leaves the milestone unbounded while both
existing guards see a COMPLETE scope. Covered by a test that also asserts state json omits
the percent, proving it is the same withhold rather than a divergent local computation.

Three pre-existing tests pinned stdout to plan throughput (50->0, 50->0, 100->0); their
fixtures have summarized-but-unverified phases, so those expectations encoded the bug.
Updating them is the fix, as the issue states.

Fixes #3583

* fix(3583): source the reported counts from the same milestone window as the percent

The adversarial pass found the first cut left the SAME defect one field over.

cmdStateUpdateProgress still reported completed/total from the top-of-function scan,
which calls listMilestonePhaseDirs with NO versionOverride — the auto-derived current
milestone — while percent now came from buildStateFrontmatter, whose scan scopes by
versionOverride: storedMilestone. getMilestonePhaseFilter shows those can select
different milestone windows, and #3017's own comment warns about exactly that mis-bind.
So a single JSON object could report a percent inconsistent with its own counts: the
self-contradiction this issue was filed to close, relocated rather than removed.

Counts now come from the same buildStateFrontmatter result as the percent. Proven on a
real divergent-milestone fixture where a preamble phase leaks into the auto-derived scan
but is excluded from the stored-milestone-scoped one: with the fix stashed the verb emits
{percent:0, completed:1, total:2}; with it applied, {percent:0, completed:1, total:1}.
The guard scan remains, gating only the #3217/#3233 withholds.

Also corrected a comment that overstated caching. Only the phase/plan disk scan is shared
between the two buildStateFrontmatter calls; getMilestoneInfo re-reads and re-parses
ROADMAP.md and readGitHeadSha spawns a bounded git rev-parse, and both now run twice per
invocation. Threading a precomputed frontmatter through the write seam to avoid it was
rejected: that seam is the shared ADR-3408 §8.3 composition with three other callers and
heavily-documented invariants, and this is not the change to renegotiate it. The comment
now says what is and is not cached instead of implying the second call is free.

Standards: six new assertions matched raw STATE.md body text the code under test had just
produced — the pattern CONTRIBUTING bans by name. They now extract the body Progress field
with the repo's own field extractor and assert the parsed percent, so the check survives
rewording of the rendered bar. The acceptance criterion still verifies the bar; only what
it asserts on moved.

Also trimmed ~50 lines of narration around a ~15-line change into a named helper, and
fixed a stale test comment that still claimed 100% next to assertions expecting 0%.

bf87dd4156 enhance(#3617): one canonical Windows binary resolver in the platform seam (epic #3411 Phase 1) (#3621)
* feat(#3411): one canonical Windows binary resolver in the platform seam

CONTEXT.md declares src/shell-command-projection.cts the single OS-facing seam,
but Windows binary resolution had grown four divergent implementations outside
it. #3445 folded two of them together — inside gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs, not
the seam — so the declaration stayed untrue and execTool still had no handling
at all.

Lift the resolver into the seam as resolveExecutableBinary, and export the half
that actually executes as projectSpawnInvocation: CreateProcess cannot run a
.cmd/.bat, so the cmd.exe mediation is inseparable from the lookup and splitting
them is how the copies accumulated. cmd.exe is invoked with an explicit argv
array, never shell:true — CVE-2024-27980's vector and Node 26's DEP0190.

execTool now resolves on win32. POSIX is a strict no-op by construction, which
matters: execTool rates CRITICAL blast radius (167 symbols, 53 files).
gsd-tools.cjs deletes its private scan and its private mediation and delegates.

Two semantics grown beyond #3445's resolver, both additive: a name already
carrying a PATHEXT-listed extension is tried as-is before the append loop, and a
suffix outside PATHEXT is not treated as an extension.

Refs #3411

* fix(#3411): keep mediating a declared .cmd that PATH resolution misses

Standards review caught a narrowing against the code this replaces. gsd-tools.cjs
computed `target = resolveSpawnBinary(binary) || binary` and keyed the shim test
on `target`, so a declared .cmd mediated whether or not PATH resolution found it.
That is load-bearing: resolveExecutableBinary scans PATH only, while `cmd.exe /c`
also finds a batch file in the current directory.

Mediation now keys on the target — resolved path, else declared name. The ENOENT
contract still holds for BARE unresolved names, which is the case it was written
for. P9/P10 pin both halves.

Spec review found E1/E2/E3/E5 promised by 50-test-matrix.md but never written;
added. E3 is the integration proof that the CVE-relevant mediation fires through
execTool, not only through projectSpawnInvocation in isolation.

Also adds the CONTEXT.md glossary entry for the seam's new resolution ownership
(a PR gate) and the changeset fragment.

* fix(#3617): pass mediated cmd.exe arguments verbatim so metacharacters cannot inject

The isolated security pass found the mediation shape carried an argument-injection
surface. libuv's quote_cmd_arg force-quotes an argv element only when it contains
a space, tab, or quote — never for a cmd metacharacter — and cmd.exe re-parses
everything after /c. So an arg of a&calc arrived unquoted and cmd ran calc.
Node's own CVE-2024-27980 escaping cannot help: it fires only when the spawned
FILE is the .bat/.cmd, and here the file is cmd.exe.

Caret-escaping is not a fix. It is correct only when libuv does not quote, and
libuv quotes whenever the arg also contains a space — no per-arg transform is
right in both cases. So build the command line and pass it through verbatim, the
shape Rust's std adopted for the sibling CVE-2024-24576: one outer quote pair
that cmd /c strips, every token inside force-quoted, embedded quotes doubled.

An argument containing CR or LF is refused rather than mediated — a newline
cannot be represented in a Windows command line, so mediating would silently
truncate. Failing visibly is correct.

Known limit, documented at the seam: %VAR% still expands inside a /c string and
has no escape outside a batch file. That is information disclosure, not arbitrary
execution, and is the same limit Rust's std documents.

This was byte-for-byte the shape #3445 shipped, so the fix closes it for the
reviewer-lane spawn path too, not only for execTool's newly reachable route.

Refs #3411

* docs(#3617): document the subprocess-execution security posture

Adds Layer 4 to the security model: why GSD never uses shell:true for binary
invocation (CVE-2024-27980, Node 26 DEP0190), why resolution is explicit and
never tries the bare name on Windows (the npm extensionless-shim trap behind
#3275), and why .cmd/.bat mediation builds a verbatim force-quoted command line
rather than relying on default escaping — Node's own CVE protection cannot fire
once the started program is cmd.exe.

The residual %VAR% expansion limit is stated plainly under Trade-offs rather
than left implicit: it is information disclosure, not arbitrary execution, and
callers passing untrusted text to a Windows .cmd should not assume the value
arrives byte-identical.

Docs-only; no code change.

* chore(#3617): backfill changeset pr number 3621

* fix(#3617): read PATH, PATHEXT and ComSpec case-insensitively

The Windows CI lane on #3621 failed E5, and the root cause was a defect in the
implementation, not the assertion.

Windows names the variable Path, not PATH. process.env is a case-insensitive
proxy, so process.env.PATH works — but execTool builds
{ ...process.env, ...opts.env } whenever a caller supplies opts.env, and
spreading discards the proxy while keeping the OS's actual casing. The exact-case
env['PATH'] lookup then returned undefined, the PATH scan saw zero segments,
resolution returned null, and the change degraded to precisely the spawn ENOENT
it exists to fix. ComSpec and PATHEXT had the same exposure.

#3445's tests never caught it because they pass uppercase keys explicitly, and
neither did the Linux remote runner — this is a defect only the Windows lane
could see.

_envGet resolves a variable by exact match first (so a canonical caller pays no
scan) and falls back to a case-insensitive sweep.

R23 and P16 pin it and were proven RED by execution: with the fix stashed and
build:lib re-run, R23 returned null and P16 returned the cmd.exe default.

R24 was rewritten because the first version was vacuous — it staged foo.CMD, so
the default PATHEXT already contained .CMD and it passed against the broken code
for the wrong reason. It now stages foo.XYZ, an extension absent from the
default, and carries a negative control asserting that dropping the Pathext key
yields null. Re-proven RED the same way.

E5's assertion was corrected alongside the fix: 'PATH' in options.env expressed
the wrong contract. It now checks case-insensitively for the key.

Refs #3411

* fix(#3617): execTool spawns the declared name unless mediation is required

The Windows full-test lane on #3621 failed tests/graphify.test.cjs — the python3
identity check asserted 'python3' and got the absolute resolved path
C:\hostedtoolcache\windows\Python\3.12.10\x64\python3.EXE instead.

Those tests are correct and the change was wrong. They pin a long-standing
contract — execTool spawns the program name it was given — by spying on
spawnSync's first argument, and routing every win32 call through the projected
invocation broke it.

Resolving a .exe buys nothing. libuv's CreateProcess path already performs
PATH + PATHEXT search, which is why spawning a bare 'node' has always worked on
Windows. The only case the OS genuinely cannot spawn is a .cmd/.bat. So execTool
now adopts the projection only when mediation actually happened —
windowsVerbatimArguments is exactly that flag — and otherwise passes the declared
program and args through untouched.

40-design.md already rejected gratuitous change for this reason: symmetry is not
worth a behavior change to 53 files that fixes nothing. That reasoning was
applied to POSIX and missed the win32 non-batch case. Rows 5 and 20 now record
it, and the CONTEXT.md glossary states the caller-choice rule.

deps.spawn deliberately still adopts the resolved path: its hasBinary probe
answers from the same resolver, so probe and spawn must agree on the exact file
(#3445). The asymmetry is now documented at both call sites rather than latent.

E7 pins the restored contract and was verified by executing execTool against a
monkeypatched spawnSync: python3 in, python3 spawned.

9de4d67118 fix(#3579): a pointer-less session inherits the repo active-workstream marker (#3616)
* test(3579): failing-first coverage for repo-marker inheritance

A session that carries an identity but has never run 'workstream use' reads an
absent session pointer, resolves null, and composes the flat .planning tree even
when .planning/active-workstream names a live workstream. These tests fail on that
and pin the invariants the fix must not break: a session with its own pointer is
never repointed, and a session that merely lacked a pointer must never clear the
shared marker on another session's behalf.

* fix(3579): a pointer-less session inherits the repo active-workstream marker

RED proven at 157cae26: the three inheritance tests failed while every isolation and
negative control passed on base — the gap, and nothing else.

pickActiveWorkstreamAdapter returned exactly ONE adapter: the session-scoped one
whenever a session key existed, so the shared .planning/active-workstream marker was
never consulted. getWorkstreamSessionKey resolves a key from ~13 env vars or the
controlling TTY, so on any normal interactive terminal a key almost always exists —
which is why a session that had never run 'workstream use' read an absent pointer,
resolved null, and composed the FLAT planning tree even though the repo marker named a
live workstream. Reads misreported; writes corrupted the superseded flat STATE. Silent,
because the stale tree is well-formed.

This was a genuine design fork, not an oversight: references/workstream-flag.md
documented step 4 as a fallback 'when no session key exists', and the session isolation
that buys is deliberate (#2850). The issue's Agent Brief left the choice open and said
the reference doc should match whatever semantics ship. The maintainer ruled in chat for
inheritance.

Resolution now walks an ORDERED chain — session adapter first, shared second — and only
a null from the session adapter falls through to the marker. Strictly additive: it can
only turn a null into a name, never change a name that already resolves.

The dangerous part is clear() ownership. resolveFromChain treats chain[0] as owned: only
it is ever cleared, and only under selfHeal (getActiveWorkstream, never peek). An
INHERITED marker is read-only — a stale value there resolves null and the file is left
alone. Without that, one pointer-less session's read would delete the repo marker for
every other session, which is a worse bug than the one being fixed. Covered by a test
that asserts the marker still exists on disk after such a read.

peekActiveWorkstream inherits but still mutates nothing (#2850 — the statusline draws on
every render).

references/workstream-flag.md's Resolution Priority is rewritten to match, keeping the
session-isolation rationale and noting that inheritance does not weaken it: a session
that owns a pointer is never repointed.

Fixes #3579

* fix(3579): correct the guard diagnostics and lock the clear-semantics

Three review passes; every finding fixed inline.

MISSING ACCEPTANCE CRITERION (spec pass). The brief requires refusal diagnostics that
distinguish 'marker present but the session lookup missed it' from 'no workstream set at
all', and the two workstream-mode fail-safe guards were byte-for-byte untouched — still
emitting a generic 'no active workstream is set' even when a marker exists and merely
names a missing directory. Both guards (cmdPhaseComplete, cmdInitProgress) now branch on
a new read-only diagnoseUnresolvedActiveWorkstream, which reuses the SAME
resolvesToExistingWorkstream predicate resolveFromChain uses, so the diagnosis and the
resolution cannot disagree. Two typed reasons added to ERROR_REASON; both arms still
refuse — the fail-closed behavior is unchanged, only the message is now true.

REAL TEST FAILURE, not a flake. The remote run failed 'clearing one session does not
clear another session pointer'. That describe uses before() rather than beforeEach, so
one tmpDir is shared and an earlier test writes active-workstream=beta into it; under
inheritance the just-cleared session picks that marker up and resolves beta instead of
null. The failure is a CORRECT consequence of Option A surfaced through an
order-dependent fixture. The test now establishes its own marker state explicitly — its
real intent (clearing A must not disturb B's pointer) is preserved and not weakened — and
a new test pins the semantic deliberately: clearing a session pointer returns that
session to INHERITING the marker, it does not force flat mode. Documented in
references/workstream-flag.md, including how to actually get flat behavior.

Also from review: partial activeWorkstreamAdapters injection no longer silently
synthesizes a REAL filesystem adapter for the missing half (a latent test-isolation
trap); the duplicated validate-then-existsSync logic is factored into one predicate; and
the two try/finally test bodies are converted to t.after per CONTRIBUTING.

New coverage: whitespace/empty shared marker; a session whose OWN pointer is stale while
the marker names a different valid workstream (must self-heal to null, never inherit —
the isolation guarantee at its sharpest); and both new diagnostic arms asserted on
structured --json-errors output rather than prose.

* fix(3579): read resolvability with the non-mutating peek, not the self-healing resolver

Three of our own new tests failed on 7f5e706a. All three had ONE root cause, and none
was fixed by relaxing an assertion.

gsd-tools.cjs's bootstrap called the MUTATING getActiveWorkstream unconditionally on
every invocation, purely to populate routing env. On an unresolvable pointer that
self-healed — cleared it — BEFORE the dispatched command ran its own resolution. A second
read in the same process then observed already-cleared state:

- Isolation violation: a session whose own pointer was stale had it cleared by the
  bootstrap, so cmdWorkstreamGet's own resolution found a pointer-LESS session and
  inherited the shared marker ('beta' instead of null). Exactly the guarantee #2850 exists
  to protect, defeated across two calls rather than within one.
- Guard diagnostics: the guards' own truthiness check also used the mutating resolver, so
  it cleared the invalid marker and the immediately-following read-only diagnosis found
  nothing and reported none_active instead of marker_unresolved.

So a single invocation's answer depended on how many times it resolved. The bootstrap
self-heal is PRE-EXISTING and was harmless while pointer-less meant flat — inheritance is
what made it answer-changing, so this fix belongs here.

Every call site that only CHECKS resolvability — the bootstrap, both fail-safe guards'
truthiness check, and two informational init report fields — now uses the non-mutating
peekActiveWorkstream. Self-heal is unchanged in active-workstream-store and still fires
exactly once, at whichever site actually consumes the workstream.

Verified by driving the real CLI against temp fixtures, since the suite cannot run
locally: stale-own-pointer resolves null with the marker intact; both guard arms report
marker_unresolved with missing_workstream_dir / invalid_name and the marker survives;
no-marker still reports none_active; identity-less self-heal still deletes an invalid
marker byte-identically to pre-#3579; and a session with a valid own pointer still wins.

* chore(3579): backfill changeset PR number (#3616)

* test(3579): kill the surviving mutants in the new resolution code

CI's Stryker gate failed: active-workstream-store scored 79.45% against a break
threshold of 80 — 259 killed, 67 survived, at 'Ran 1.00 tests per mutant on average'.
The survivors cluster in the code this PR added (pickActiveWorkstreamAdapterChain,
resolvesToExistingWorkstream, resolveFromChain, diagnoseUnresolvedActiveWorkstream):
the CLI-level tests exercise those paths but do not DISCRIMINATE their branches, which
is precisely what a surviving mutant means.

Raised by strengthening assertions, never by touching the threshold. 21 unit tests added
to the existing unit suite, each written to fail under a specific named mutant, using the
module's injected adapter seams and createMemoryPointerAdapter so they stay hermetic
under Stryker's per-mutant reruns:

- chain shape with and without a session key, asserting length AND element identity
  (kills the if(false), the ': []' array mutant, and the block removal)
- partial adapter injection, asserting the missing half is an inert memory adapter that
  never touches the filesystem (kills the three '??' -> '&&' mutants)
- both arms of '!name || !validateWorkstreamName(name)' as SEPARATE tests — an absent
  name and a non-empty invalid one — which is what kills the '||' -> '&&' mutant
- self-heal discrimination: getActiveWorkstream must clear an unresolvable owned pointer
  and peekActiveWorkstream must not, asserted on adapter state after each
  (kills if(selfHeal) -> if(true))
- fallback arm both ways: a fallback that resolves and one that does not
- diagnoseUnresolvedActiveWorkstream asserted as a full object per case, with the reason
  strings compared exactly (kills present:true -> false and both StringLiteral mutants)

One mutant is deliberately left: 'if (chain.length === 0)' -> 'if (false)'. The branch is
structurally unreachable — the only chain source always returns a 1- or 2-element array
literal — and resolveFromChain is not exported. Killing it would mean exporting an
internal or deleting a defensive guard; neither is worth doing for a mutant, and the
score clears 80 without it. Recorded here rather than left unexplained.

Every new assertion was evaluated against the built module with real fixtures before
committing, since the suite cannot run locally.

682eaae3f0 enh(#2876): retire the dead and pass-through exports from bin/install.js (#3615)
* enh(#2876): retire the dead and pass-through exports from bin/install.js

The installer exported 197 names and had zero production consumers - every
non-test require of it repo-wide sits inside a comment. Its interface was
shaped by test access, not by callers.

Removes 9 dead exports and 61 pass-throughs, repointing their tests onto the
extracted modules' own interfaces. 197 down to 127.

Every count in the issue was wrong: 197 exports not 188, 9 dead not 12, 61
pass-throughs not 49, 44 test files not 42 - and the audit itself then missed
7 more consumer files. restoreUserArtifacts was on the dead list but ceased to
exist in phase 6, and two _GSD_EFFORT_MANIFEST_* names listed as dead are now
genuinely asserted, so acting on that list would have deleted live exports.

7 of the 9 dead names collide with an independent declaration that install.js
delegates TO. Each removal was justified by which declaration a reference
resolves to, never by whether the name appears somewhere.

Coverage parity was the gate rather than test greenness: per-file counts were
captured before any edit and diffed after. 44 of 45 files are byte-identical;
the single delta is one added assertion, not a loss.

The sweep for scattered require sites found two forms static grep misses -
require(VARIABLE) and multi-line require() - plus tests asserting that
install.js re-exports the SAME object, which now assert retirement instead.

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

* fix(#2876): close review findings — restore the duplicate-body guard, sweep orphaned code

Both review engines found real defects in the first cut.

The DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX single-owner guard from #1511 had been repointed
from a reference-identity check to install.X === undefined. Those are not
equivalent: the guard exists to catch a duplicate function body reintroduced
into install.js, and the replacement passes cleanly if that duplicate is used
internally and never exported. It now walks bin/install.js's real top-level
bindings, so it catches a duplicate under either shape, exported or not -
strictly stronger than the check it replaced. Proved by injecting a duplicate
and watching it go red.

That weakening survived the coverage-parity gate because the assertion count
never moved. The gate compares counts, so an assertion that changes meaning
rather than number is invisible to it.

Removing the exports had orphaned their wrapper bodies: 14 dead wrappers, 9
consts and 9 destructure entries, several pre-existing and found by the same
sweep. Dead code left in the file this phase exists to shrink.

Three more comments claimed re-exports this phase removed, and tests were
reading Cursor and Windsurf hook constants from install.js's local copy while
calling functions from the hooks surface - equal today, with nothing holding
them equal. The local consts now reference the owning module.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fixes #3578

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

Review findings from two orthogonal passes, all fixed inline.

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

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

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

b42cb4fb29 fix(#3597): count scenario expectation failures in the QA gate, and fix the workstream scope split it exposed (#3607)
* fix(#3597): count scenario expectation failures in the QA ratchet gate

buildReport counts totals.violations as oracle violations PLUS scenario
expectFailures, but collectFindings read only step.violations. A scenario
whose declared expect failed therefore produced ok:false and violations:1
in the report while the ratchet printed "0 violations" and exited 0.

multi-workstream has failed that way on every CI run since 2026-08-10,
when #3217 (PR #3318) made computeProgressPercent withhold a percentage
whose scope is not COMPLETE. The walk detected the change the day it
landed; nothing was listening.

- collectFindings returns a third bucket, expectationFailures, carrying no
  fingerprint so it can never be baselined or acked away
- both modes of main() print and gate on it; the summary line reports it
- guard runMain(main) behind require.main === module, so the QA suite can
  require the script to test collectFindings without running a real walk
  (that import side effect is why the gate logic had no test)
- multi-workstream now asserts the true contract: phase_scope unreadable
  and percent null, per ADR-3180 7.6 rule 4
- the perturbation test asserts scenario ok, closing the test-side half

Closes #3597

* fix(#3597): resolve the milestone window against the active workstream

listMilestonePhaseDirs defaulted its ws option to null. planningDir
treats undefined as "resolve the ambient workstream" and null as
"force the project root", so that default suppressed the ambient
resolution every other planning-path read uses.

All 18 call sites derive phasesDir ambiently via planningPaths(cwd),
so the counts came from the workstream while the milestone window came
from the root .planning/ROADMAP.md — the exact numerator/denominator
scope split ADR-3180 7.6 rule 3 forbids. workstream create migrates
that root roadmap away, so the read threw and scope stayed UNREADABLE,
and rule 4 then correctly withheld the percentage.

Proof: with a workstream tree byte-unchanged, copying its own ROADMAP
to the project root flipped --ws alpha progress from
phase_scope:unreadable/percent:null to complete/100.

This is the defect the loop QA walk was pointing at all along; the
scenario expectation is restored to percent:100 rather than bent to
match the bug.

- pass ws through as undefined so ambient resolution applies
- multi-workstream asserts phase_scope complete + percent 100
- regression test in completion-ratio-scope-withholding covers a
  workstream-only project with no root ROADMAP
- replace the vacuous require.main test: runMain defers through a
  promise, so the in-process timing check passed against the unguarded
  file too; a child-process spawn now observes the guard for real
- tie the oracle-violation test to expectationFailures, and cover the
  absent-key, multi-scenario and zero-step report shapes in parity
- flatten scenario-authored strings before rendering them into the
  step summary and CI logs (forged markdown / ANSI injection)
- widen the scenario contract assertions past perturbation-* so
  multi-workstream is actually covered test-side

Closes #3597

* fix(#3597): flatten scenario-authored strings on the CI-log output path

The step-summary path already routed findings through flattenUntrusted;
the check-mode NEW-smell and STALE-entry console.error blocks, and the
repro line in both printers, still interpolated raw.

detail carries a scenario-authored expect[].path verbatim, and
reason/scenario/id come from contributor-authored baseline and ack
fragments validated only as non-empty strings. A crafted path could
print a forged summary line into the CI log directly above the real
one, plus ANSI repaint and unbounded length.

Exit codes are unaffected — this is log spoofing, not gate bypass.

* fix(#3597): refuse to archive on an unreadable milestone window; close review gaps

Resolving the milestone window against the active workstream can leave
the window UNREADABLE when that workstream has no ROADMAP of its own.
getMilestonePhaseFilter throws, the window degrades to a pass-all
fallback, and milestone complete would then move every phase dir --
breaking the guarantee stated at the archive site that no out-of-window
directory is touched.

milestone complete now refuses to archive when the window is UNREADABLE
and reports the refusal; --dry-run previews the same refusal from the
same shared derivation.

The guard is scoped to UNREADABLE, not to every non-COMPLETE scope. A
broader condition regressed ordinary root projects: the QA walk caught
milestone-rollover leaving 01-parser on disk, which then tripped the
#1447 abort in phases clear. UNSCOPED and TRUNCATED are pre-existing
classifications and keep their existing behavior.

Review fixes:
- the workstream regression test asserted complete/100 but its fixture
  wrote no workstream STATE.md, so it resolved unscoped/null and the
  test failed; it now asserts a milestone and genuinely fails-first
- the parity test hand-supplied totals.violations, hardcoding the very
  formula under test; at least one case now goes through the real
  buildReport
- drop a vacuous qa-report.json assertion (jsonOut defaults to null, so
  no report is written by either shape)
- buildRepro emitted a repo-relative binary path after cd-ing into a
  temp project, so every repro died with MODULE_NOT_FOUND; it now
  resolves an absolute path
- flattenUntrusted truncated the repro to 300 chars, handing reviewers a
  command that looks complete and is not; length capping is now opt-out
  for repro while newline/control/backtick stripping still applies

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

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

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

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

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

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

Part 1, deferred until #3587 merged.

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

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

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

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

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

Standards review findings.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

f56ffa86ab fix(#3581): derive init.progress's next_phase from roadmap order, not artifact presence (#3603)
* test(#3581): pin init.progress's frontier to roadmap order over stray artifacts

Failing-first regression for #3581: a stray out-of-order phase directory
(a phase-9 UAT evidence file while roadmap phase 8 was pending and
unscaffolded) made init.progress report next_phase 09, skipping Phase 8
and disagreeing with roadmap.analyze. Rows pin the issue shape, the
aligned-tree control, and the all-complete boundary.

* fix(#3581): derive init.progress's next_phase from roadmap order, not artifact presence

The frontier is re-derived from the sorted phase union after the disk and
roadmap loops: the first not-yet-begun, not-roadmap-complete phase wins.
Artifacts still feed status and completion per entry, but a stray
out-of-order directory can no longer drag the frontier past a pending
unscaffolded roadmap phase, and init.progress agrees with roadmap.analyze.

* fix(#3581): frontier = first not-complete phase in roadmap order (resume semantics)

Review-of-own-control refinement: a begun-but-unfinished phase (in_progress,
executed, researched) is the frontier — the next thing to execute is to
resume it — so the frontier predicate is simply 'not complete and not
roadmap-complete', first in the sorted union.

* fix(#3581): preserve the pinned pending-only frontier contract; repair the boundary fixture

Review findings: the resume-semantics refinement broke the suite-pinned
contract that an in-progress phase is currentPhase's lane, not nextPhase's
(tests/init.test.cjs 'multiple phases with mixed statuses') — reverted to
first pending-or-not_started; the control row now pins the pure ordering
property (roadmap-only pending beats a later pending directory); the
boundary fixture gains passing verification reports so disk status reaches
complete under the #3168 disk-strict bar.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Adds the Changed changeset for the surface-path convergence.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

dfc4c69e3d fix(#3577): recognize markdown-table phase rows across the roadmap enumeration family (#3599)
* test(#3577): pin table-declared phase resolution across all four surfaces

Failing-first regression for #3577: a GFM table phase listing (Phase header,
id in the first data cell) declared real phases that roadmap.analyze,
roadmap.get-phase, init.phase-op, and the milestone filter all reported as
absent (phase_count: 0 / found: false). Rows pin the lookup, the scope
probe, the analyzer, schema discrimination against the canonical
RoadmapProgress table, fenced-example exclusion, heading+table union
without double-count, decimal ids, and the 999 icebox exclusion.

* fix(#3577): recognize markdown-table phase rows across the enumeration family

A GFM table whose header leads with Phase and whose data rows carry the id
in the first cell is a phase listing — the #2199 bullet blind spot's table
sibling. collectTablePhaseRows (schema-discriminated against the canonical
RoadmapProgress table via matchTableSchema, fence-aware via stripFencedCode,
digit-bearing id shape, 999 icebox excluded) now feeds: the milestone
filter's sole owner scanMilestonePhaseIds, window classification
hasPhaseEntries, both roadmap lookup chains (getRoadmapPhaseInternal +
cmdRoadmapGetPhase, as last-resort tiers after heading and bullet), and
roadmap analyze's enumerator (with the same disk enrichment contract as
headings and a zero-pad-tolerant duplicate guard). init.phase-op resolves
through its existing getRoadmapPhaseInternal fallback.

* fix(#3577): GFM table termination + icebox word boundary in the table scan

Review findings: the row harvest broke only on blank lines, so prose after
a table (a bare date line) could be harvested as a phase id — rows now stop
at the first non-row line per GFM semantics; the 999 icebox exclusion gains
the heading scan's word boundary so 9991 is kept.

* fix(#3577): sanction collectTablePhaseRows in the enumeration drift scanner

The scan's local 999-only exclusion mirrors its parent owner
scanMilestonePhaseIds' deliberate NOT-isSentinelPhaseId choice (a leading 0
is a real decimal phase, #2554), so it cannot route through the sentinel
owner — function-scoped exemption with the documented reason, same entry
shape as the #3262 owner's.

5f64d999dc fix(#3586): warn when .planning/ is gitignored but still tracked (#3598)
* feat(#3586): warn when .planning/ is gitignored but still tracked

git ignore rules have no effect on files git already tracks, so a project
that committed .planning/ before ignoring it keeps staging those files --
while commit_docs correctly resolves to false, which is exactly what makes
the contradiction invisible.

The probe lives in the SNAPSHOT BUILDER, not the rule: Rule.check may perform
no ambient I/O (ADR-3180 8.1 rule 1, enforced by lint-planning-snapshot-bypass).
buildPlanningTrackedField follows buildWorktreeHealthField's precedent --
injected execGit, bounded, degrading to UNREADABLE with a typed reason rather
than throwing. W024 went inline instead only because no snapshot field carried
its fact; that precondition does not apply here.

W029 fires only on COMPLETE scope with ignored and tracked both true, so a
degraded probe yields neither a finding nor a false all-clear, and the default
project (tracked, not ignored) stays silent. The remedy is ADVISE-only --
--repair never untracks anything.

* docs(#3586): document W029 and correct the health rule count

CONFIGURATION.md documented the gitignore auto-detect without the caveat that
ignore rules do not affect already-tracked files -- the very gap W029 exists to
surface. Adds the caveat, the warning, its remedy, and why --repair will not
act on it.

CONTEXT.md's rule count was stale at 31 before this change (actual 32 through
W028); corrected to 33 and pointed at the two other places the count is locked,
so the next editor updates all three together.

* fix(#3586): treat ls-files overflow as tracked, add CLI-level W029 tests

Review findings.

Security (minor, confirmed): execGit sets no maxBuffer, so Node's 1MB default
applies to git ls-files. A .planning/ tree large enough to overflow it failed
into git_list_failed and silenced W029 -- a false negative in exactly the
large-history case most likely to have the real bug. Overflow is now treated
as PROOF of tracking (the output was non-empty by definition) and resolves to
tracked:true, scope COMPLETE, reason ok_truncated.

Spec (major): test-matrix rows C1 and C2 were never implemented -- there was no
CLI-level integration test at all, only rule-level ones. Both now drive the real
validate-health dispatch and confirm W029 is reachable end-to-end.

Known limit documented, not papered over: a deliberate git add -f under an
otherwise-ignored .planning/ raises the same signal as the accidental case.
There is no reliable way to tell them apart, the finding is advisory-only, and
a heuristic that cannot actually distinguish them would be worse than the
honest caveat.

* test(#3586): update frozen health-doc counts and acknowledge health.md growth

The remote matrix caught three gates that lint:ci does not cover.

gen-health-docs.test.cjs froze a 35-row / 32-rule assertion; W029 makes it
36/33. Updated both the assertion and the test NAME, which embeds the counts --
a stale name is a lie even when the assertion passes. The second reported
failure was the same assertion surfacing at describe-rollup granularity, not a
distinct bug.

emitted-attribution's growth arm needed an ack for the generated health.md.
health.md was already named in 3309-health-docs-generated.json, and two ack
sources naming one path is a hard error -- so a new fragment was not an option.
That fragment's own history shows the pattern: #3309 created it, #2873 amended
it in place for W028. Amended again for W029, with a note recording why this
one file is amended rather than joined by a sibling.

* docs(#3586): add the private-planning how-to and fix a wrong link

docs/CONFIGURATION.md pointed 'Configure private planning' at
how-to/configure-model-profiles.md -- an unrelated page -- and no
private-planning how-to existed at all. Found while editing that section.

The how-to test genuinely fires here: going private is four steps and crosses
planning.search_gitignored, a setting owned by another concern, so a reference
table structurally cannot carry it. The new page walks the whole sequence and
leads with the step people miss -- .gitignore does not untrack what git already
tracks -- which is the exact state W029 now detects.

Also corrects 'artefacts' to 'artifacts' (repo house style is American).

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

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

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

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

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

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

0c00ef4a6d fix(#3572): keep phase remove's STATE.md write single-block and drop the removed heading (#3594)
* test(#3572): pin single-frontmatter contract for phase remove STATE.md writes

Failing-first regression for #3572: when the removed phase has a directory
and the body lacks Total Phases/of-N, cmdPhaseRemove's no-op-guard bypass
prepended the count field to the WHOLE file — before the opening fence —
corrupting STATE.md into two frontmatter blocks. Rows also strengthen the
#2640 coverage (whose first-match assertions pass even on a corrupted
file) and pin the issue's ROADMAP-only control.

* fix(#3572): keep phase remove's STATE.md write single-block and drop the removed heading from ROADMAP

Two defects in the decimal-phase removal path: (1) the #2640 no-op-guard
bypass prepended 'Total Phases: N' to the WHOLE file content, landing it
before the opening fence and corrupting STATE.md into two frontmatter
blocks; the field now inserts at the top of the BODY, after the closing
fence (EOL-aware, frontmatter-less files unchanged in behavior). (2)
updateRoadmapAfterPhaseRemoval matched the raw query token ('1.1')
against the normalized zero-padded heading ('Phase 01.1:'), so the
removed phase stayed in ROADMAP and the resync counted it; the heading,
checklist, and progress-row matchers are now zero-pad tolerant, which
also covers unpadded integer headings.

* fix(#3572): clamp phase-count decrements at zero; harden EOL detection; pin controls

Review findings: a stale 'Total Phases: 0' could decrement to -1 on the
next removal (both the field and the 'of N' phrase now clamp at 0);
insertStateBodyFieldAtTop detects EOL from the first line ending so an
LF-dominant file with a stray CRLF cannot fall through to the raw
prepend; the issue's insert-alone control is pinned; row 1 pins the
body-field value (dir-count provenance) alongside the roadmap-derived
frontmatter count.

* fix(#3572): keep CRLF endings intact in the body-field insertion

Green-run failure root cause: splitting on '\n' but re-joining on a
detected '\r\n' doubled every carriage return in CRLF files. Split and
join uniformly on '\n' so each '\r' stays attached to the line it
terminated.

325fc25c01 fix(#3569): require a digit-bearing phase id in the stats heading scan (#3591)
* test(#3569): pin stats phase-id shape — inline-code mentions produce no phantom row

Failing-first regression for #3569: cmdStats' heading scan accepted any
word as a phase id, so prose mentioning ### Phase N: inside inline code
inflated phases_total and disagreed with roadmap analyze. New adversarial
fixture phase-heading-inside-inline-code.md (blockquote + bare mention),
parity assertion against roadmap analyze, and over-narrowing guards for
decimal / milestone-prefixed / letter-prefixed ids.

* fix(#3569): require a digit-bearing phase id in the stats heading scan

cmdStats' hand-rolled heading pattern captured any word as a phase id,
so a ### Phase N: token inside an inline code span (the issue's
blockquote) produced a phantom Not-Started row that could never
complete, inflating phases_total and deflating percent forever. The id
capture is now the canonical #3036 shape roadmap.cts uses (digit
required; letter-prefixed, decimal, and milestone-prefixed ids keep
counting), so stats and roadmap analyze agree.

* fix(#3569): sanction the stats id-shape literal; correct zero-padded expectation

Review findings: the phase-id drift guard requires the // phase-id-owner:
comment directly above the regex (same form as roadmap.cts); the
milestone-prefixed over-narrowing guard must expect normalizePhaseName's
zero-padded 02-01 form, not the raw 2-01 token.

a4a02a7a01 enhance(#2874): return the executed plan and route install IO through a seam (#3568)
* test(#2874): add failing-first gate for the executed-plan return

Four rows from the matrix's red-first order. E3 pins the one early return,
for the opencode family, where a void-shaped hole would otherwise survive
unnoticed. E13 sweeps every runtime in the registry - enumerated from the
registry rather than hardcoded, so a runtime added later cannot slip past.
F2 proves absence of real filesystem contact rather than merely that the
happy path ran, which is the difference between a complete seam and a
partial one.

G1 and G3 are the additive guard and must be green before and after. G3
deliberately leaves the two existing adapter test doubles untouched: if
this change required editing them it would not be additive, and the
acceptance criterion would be unmet.

No production code. All 19 runtimes install without throwing today, so
E3 and E13 fail on the undefined comparison alone.

Refs #2874

* feat(#2874): return the executed plan and route install IO through a seam

installRuntimeArtifacts returned void, so its correctness was observable
only by re-reading disk. It now returns what it executed - per kind, per
scope - including on the combinedFamilyInstall path, which was the one
early return where a void-shaped hole would have survived unnoticed.

Failure still throws rather than becoming an ok:false return, so control
flow is unchanged for both existing callers. A best-effort cleanup that
fails is still swallowed, but is now visible in the returned value rather
than silently absent.

The fs seam is ambient rather than threaded. Explicit deps through
install-profiles and the 3000-line conversion module was impractical; the
tradeoff, the synchronous-only re-entrancy assumption, the restore
guarantee and the partial-adapter fallback trap are all documented at the
seam. findInstallSourceRoot and its sibling stay unrouted by design -
they locate the package's own source, not the install destination.

readCmdNames keeps a second implementation because the standalone CLI
that owns the original cannot require the compiled adapter without a
build-order dependency on its own output. A parity test fails if the two
ever disagree.

Refs #2874

* chore(#2874): gitignore the new build artifact

install-fs-adapter.cjs is tsc output from src/install-fs-adapter.cts, not
a tracked source file. It was added to eslint's ignore list but not to
.gitignore, so it landed as a tracked file - the third time this step of
the new-.cts ripple has been missed on this epic.

Refs #2874

* fix(#2874): close two seam leaks and correct a false comment

A correctness review found the seam still leaked in two places, both
subtler than the three already closed.

readGsdCommandNames was routed when it should not have been: it reads the
package's own commands directory, which a destination-fake is never
seeded with, so under a fake adapter it returned an empty or wrong roster
instead of failing loudly. It now reads real fs, matching the precedent
already documented for findInstallSourceRoot.

cleanupStagedSkills ran raw rmSync from a process exit handler, which is
real filesystem work deferred past the point where withInstallFs has
restored - the one thing the synchronous-only contract exists to
exclude. Staging now captures the adapter that created each directory and
cleanup replays it, so a real install cleans up exactly as before and a
fake-staged path never reaches the real filesystem.

Also corrected a comment claiming the migration reads were an unrouted,
untested residual gap. They are routed and exercised; a comment
understating the seam is as corrosive as one overstating it in a module
whose trust rests on being honestly documented.

Refs #2874

* test(#2874): migrate the exemplar group and cover the matrix

AC3's exemplar migration lands in place: the qwen install group now
asserts skills and agents destinations from the returned plan in one
deepStrictEqual instead of probing the filesystem for each.

Nine facts the old probes established were enumerated first. Two moved to
the value assertion; seven were retained deliberately - per-file SKILL.md
existence, the VERSION file written outside this function, the manifest
content, and the post-uninstall absence checks all sit outside the plan's
per-kind contract. A migration that quietly asserts less looks like a win
and is a regression, so the enumeration is the guard rather than the
line count.

Also implements the rest of the matrix: the executed-plan shape, adapter
failure modes, the security-boundary rows including a fake that cannot
certify an install the real filesystem would refuse, cleanup visibility,
and two seeded property tests. Only the two external CI gates are left
unticked, because self-certifying them would be a claim rather than a
check.

Refs #2874

* fix(#2874): restore streaming hashes and derive F2 from the boundary rule

The checkpoint found three things reasoning had missed.

sha256File had been converted from raw-fd streaming to a single
readFileSync on the assumption that GSD artifacts are never large. A test
named for exactly that contract already existed and went red. Streaming is
restored, now routed through the adapter, which gains openSync, readSync
and closeSync. The contract was the specification; the assumption was not.

Three existing tests inject faults by monkeypatching real fs. They broke
because mkInstallTempDir stopped calling real mkdtempSync, not because of
any binding subtlety - the real adapter was already late-bound. It now
calls the real function when no fake is injected, so a monkeypatch applied
after import is still seen and the additive contract holds.

F2 poisoned real fs by method, so a deliberately unrouted package-source
read failed a correct design. It now poisons by path: destination IO is
forbidden, package-source IO is allowed and positively asserted. The claim
was always zero real destination IO, and the test now derives from that
rule instead of coincidentally matching it.

Refs #2874

* docs(#2874): add the contributor how-to for plan-based test migration

The phase gate caught a real gap. The docs plan was Reference plus
Explanation only, and every CI check would have passed, because the
docs-required lint only verifies that some file under docs/ moved.

But this phase exists to demonstrate a pattern for follow-on work, and
that work is other contributors migrating probing test groups. The
sequence has two live traps - a partial fake silently falls back to real
fs, and the seam is ambient and synchronous-only - plus one discipline
nobody infers: enumerate the facts before converting, or you assert less
and call it a win.

The page carries the qwen migration's arithmetic, nine facts enumerated
and only two converted, because a reader seeing only the diff would
reasonably conclude the pattern is to replace probes wholesale.

No locale mirrors: none of the four carries any contributor-only how-to,
so a single translated file would manufacture parity rather than provide
it.

Refs #2874

* chore(#2874): backfill changeset pr number

* test(#2874): normalize both sides of the G1 tree comparison

G1 failed on Windows only, deterministically on both shards. The defect
was in the test helper, not production.

_computePathPrefix posix-normalizes the resolved config dir
unconditionally, so on Windows the path embedded in every emitted
SKILL.md body is forward-slash form. hashDirTree stripped against the raw
backslash path from mkdtempSync, so the substring never matched and each
install's unique temp suffix stayed baked into every file - all fifteen
skill bodies hashed differently for two runs that had written identical
bytes.

Both sides are now normalized unconditionally rather than gated on
path.sep, matching the rule this repo already records: backslash paths
arrive on Linux too.

Production code is untouched and was verified correct. Normalizing this
away on the production side would have hidden a real portability bug if
one had existed.

abf3cf7c25 fix(#3458): scan archived milestone phases, and make [A] Acknowledge actually suppress (#3555)
* fix(#3458): scan archived milestone phases in the four audit-open scanners

`query audit-open` resolved exactly one phase root, `.planning/phases/`. When a
milestone closes its phase directories move to
`.planning/milestones/v<X.Y>-phases/`, so an item still unresolved at that
moment — the `[R]/[A]/[C]` prompt accepts "accept" and "carry forward", not only
"resolve" — became invisible to the v1.1 pre-close audit and every audit after
it. The window in which an unresolved item is visible to this gate was exactly
one milestone wide, and nothing announced when it closed.

Reproduced before fixing, with byte-identical artifacts in the two layouts and
the active layout as the control:

  active   → has_open_items=true   deferred=1  uat_gaps=1  total=2
  archived → has_open_items=false  deferred=0  uat_gaps=0  total=0

`scanDeferredItems`' own doc comment names this as the thing it was built to
prevent — "phase directories archive to `milestones/vX.Y-phases/` (#1871) and
the entry leaves the live tree having never been triaged" — while the
implementation eleven lines below cannot read that path. It catches an entry at
its own milestone close and goes blind at precisely the transition the comment
describes.

This is not cosmetic under-reporting. `auditOpenArtifacts` sums all nine
category counts into `counts.total` and returns `has_open_items: counts.total >
0`, so four blind scanners can flip the gate's headline boolean and let
`/gsd-complete-milestone` assert a clean close it never verified. In a
fully-archived project `.planning/phases/` may not exist at all, and the
scanners' `if (!fs.existsSync(phasesDir)) return []` produced a value
indistinguishable from "nothing is open".

## One enumeration, not four

The four scanners each hand-rolled the same active-only walk. They now share
`listAuditPhaseTargets(planDir, cwd)`, which yields both roots — the shape of
fix epic #3473's B2 asks for, and the reason the fix is one seam rather than
four edits.

Three properties are load-bearing:

  * the ACTIVE enumeration is unchanged — still a raw `readdirSync`, NOT
    `listMilestonePhaseDirs`. These scanners are deliberately not
    milestone-filtered today, and switching would silently add window and
    sentinel filtering: a behavior change belonging to #3372, not here.
  * a missing or unreadable active root skips that half instead of returning
    early. That early return WAS the bug in a fully-archived project.
  * archived dirs are deliberately NOT milestone-filtered, per the comment
    `src/uat.cts` already carries: archived phases belong to past milestones by
    definition, so applying the current-milestone filter discards every one and
    silently reinstates this bug.

Each item now carries `archived_milestone` when it comes from a closed
milestone, matching how the sibling module already labels archived results —
without it an operator triaging `[R]/[A]/[C]` cannot tell a live item from one
carried over. Additive: no existing test or doc asserted an exact key set.

`scripts/lint-phase-enumeration-drift.cjs`'s exemption list for this file drops
from the four scanner names to the single helper, since that is now the only
place the enumeration lives.

## Tests

Written failing-first and confirmed red for the right reason before the fix, all
four driven through the real `audit-open` CLI rather than private functions:
archived-only (was 0/0/0/0 with `has_open_items=false`, now 1/1/1/1 true),
mixed active+archived (was 1/1/1/1 — the archived half dropped — now 2/2/2/2),
active-only unchanged, and an all-resolved archived phase contributing 0.

That last one passed vacuously before the fix, because the archived path was not
reached at all; it was re-verified as genuinely discriminating afterward by
flipping one archived item to unresolved and watching the count rise.

* fix(#3458): restore the scan_error sentinel and show archive provenance

Adversarial review found one BLOCKER that the previous revision introduced,
which a green remote-runner suite did not catch because nothing in the tree
asserts `scan_error` at all.

## The regression

Consolidating four hand-rolled walks into `listAuditPhaseTargets` swallowed the
active-root `readdirSync` throw in a bare `catch {}`. Pre-fix each scanner
returned `[{scan_error: true, …}]`; after, each returned `[]`. Measured with
`.planning/phases` created as a FILE (so `existsSync` passes and `readdirSync`
throws ENOTDIR):

  before this fix: uat_gaps/verification_gaps/context_questions/deferred_items
                   each `[{"scan_error":true,…}]`
  the regression:  each `[]`

`complete-milestone.md` re-runs `audit-open --json` and reads those counts, so a
machine consumer could no longer tell "I/O failed" from "verified clean" — the
exact conflation this issue exists to remove, reintroduced on the failure path.
`listAuditPhaseTargets` now reports `activeUnreadable` and each scanner pushes
the sentinel shape recovered verbatim from `origin/next`, not reinvented.

The docstring claiming the active enumeration was "UNCHANGED" was false while
that sentinel was missing, and is corrected to state what is actually preserved.

An unreadable ARCHIVED root deliberately gets NO sentinel: there was no archived
read before, so there is no consumer contract to preserve, and adding one would
conflate the ordinary "no milestones archived yet" state with a real I/O failure.

## The operator could not see the archive

`formatAuditReport` is the surface the gate actually shows a human —
`complete-milestone.md` runs it without `--json` — and it never rendered
`archived_milestone`. With `01-alpha` in both roots the identical line printed
twice with nothing to tell them apart, and `[R] Resolve` sends the operator to
`.planning/phases/01-alpha/` where the archived one does not exist. Phase
numbering restarts at `01` after each archive, so that collision is the common
case, not an edge case. All four loops now render ` (archived vX.Y)`; active
lines stay byte-identical.

## Archived milestones sorted wrong

`getArchivedPhaseDirs` ordered milestones with `.sort().reverse()` —
lexicographic, so `v1.9` outranked `v1.10`. Measured order for v1.0/v1.9/v1.10
was `v1.9, v1.10, v1.0`. Now a numeric-segment descending compare. Pre-existing,
but this change is what first surfaces it in audit output.

## Tests

The blocker's regression test fails against the previous revision. Added:
`archived_milestone` present on archived items and absent (not `undefined`) on
active ones; the unreadable-active-root sentinel across all four categories; an
unreadable archived root still leaving the active half scanned; the
duplicate-name case producing two distinct entries that the human report
distinguishes; and the v1.10-before-v1.9 ordering.

`docs/COMMANDS.md` documents the archived scanning and the new field.

* fix(#3458): stop filesystem names forging lines in the audit report

Found by the security review of this branch. Pre-existing on `next`, fixed here
because it defeats the exact gate this PR is hardening.

`audit-open`'s human report is the surface `/gsd-complete-milestone` shows an
operator to decide whether a milestone may close. A `.planning/` tree authored
by someone other than that operator — a cloned repo — could contain a directory
literally named:

    zz<newline>0 open items require decisions.<newline><ESC>[2K<ESC>[1G FORGED

and the report printed `0 open items require decisions.` as its own line, with
raw ESC bytes reaching stdout able to erase or overwrite the lines above it.
Reproduced against the real CLI before fixing, and again after.

## Why not just harden sanitizeForDisplay

Because that helper's contract is multi-line prose — it removes protocol-leak
lines while deliberately preserving the newlines between legitimate ones, which
`tests/security.test.cjs` pins. Stripping CR/LF there would have broken a
correct test to paper over a different problem.

The two jobs are genuinely different, so there are now two helpers. New
`sanitizeLabel` (`src/security.cts`) is for values that are semantically ONE
LINE and derived from a filesystem NAME. It ESCAPES rather than strips C0
(including ESC/CR/LF), DEL and C1, so a doctored name renders visibly as
`\n` / `\x1b` instead of being silently normalized — the report stays honest
about what is in the tree. Ordinary input passes through byte-identical.

## Nine sites, not four

The first pass covered the four phase-scoped scanners. A sweep of the rest of
the file found the identical class in five more — `scanDebugSessions`,
`scanQuickTasks`, `scanThreads`, `scanTodos`, `scanSeeds` — emitting
name-derived `slug` / `filename` / `seed_id` through the prose sanitizer.
`scanQuickTasks`' `date` had no sanitization call at all.

Every emitted field in the file is now classified and the sweep recorded:
`slug`, `filename`, `seed_id`, `phase`, `file`, `archived_milestone`, `date` are
name-derived and take `sanitizeLabel`; `hypothesis`, `status`, `updated`,
`title`, `priority`, `area`, `summary`, `questions[]` and deferred-item `text`
are content and keep `sanitizeForDisplay`. No name-derived value reaches output
unsanitized.

`--json` was already safe — JSON string encoding escapes control characters, and
a crafted name cannot break out of the string. Verified rather than assumed.

* chore(#3458): backfill changeset pr number

* test(#3458): skip control-character fixtures where the OS forbids the name

CI red on `test (windows-latest, 24, shard 1/3)`: the four forgery-rejection
tests build directories whose names embed a newline and ESC, and NTFS forbids
control characters in path components, so `mkdir` threw ENOENT.

The remote runner is Linux-only, so it could not have caught this class.

Semantically the skip is honest rather than a workaround: on Windows the
directory-name forgery vector does not exist, because the OS refuses to create
the name. The sanitizer's own behavior stays covered there by the
`sanitizeLabel` unit tests, which are pure string tests with no filesystem
calls — verified.

Uses the repo's established capability-probe convention
(`tests/adr-index-gate.test.cjs`'s `trySymlink`), which `t.skip()`s on the real
errno rather than branching on `process.platform`, and whose comment gives the
reason: a bare `return` "would silently report a PASS ... and hide the gap this
guard exists to close". A skipped test is visibly skipped.

Swept every test added on this branch for names Windows would reject or POSIX
path assumptions; these four were the only ones.

* feat(#3458): make [A] Acknowledge actually suppress, without overwriting a verdict

Making archived phases visible exposed the other half of the problem: an item
unresolved at a milestone close now resurfaces at every later close forever,
because `[A] Acknowledge` wrote a prose block to STATE.md that
`auditOpenArtifacts` never reads. `verified_closeout` became unreachable and the
gate degraded to a mandatory `[A]` every time.

## The prompt does not change

`[A] Acknowledge all` already promises "document as deferred and proceed with
close". It documented but never deferred. This makes `[A]` do what it says.
`[R]` and `[C]` stay abort paths. No "carry forward" option is invented — an
item that is not acknowledged simply keeps surfacing, which is the default.

## The marker lives inside the artifact

Not a ledger. The audit mints no ids and has no stable identity — `phase` is a
token that collides across directories, `file` for deferred items is a constant,
and identity otherwise degrades to the item's own prose after a lossy sanitizer.
Any ledger must re-derive that key every close, so a reworded item silently
un-suppresses or, worse, mis-suppresses a different one. Storing the
acknowledgment next to the thing it suppresses makes that class of bug
structurally impossible, and it is the pattern `src/uat.cts` already argues for
with `deferred-items.md`'s in-place `status: resolved`.

## The marker is verdict-preserving and self-invalidating

`status:` is never overwritten — writing `resolved` into an unresolved UAT would
be a lie in the artifact of record, and the disclosure has to be additive.

    audit_acknowledged:
      milestone: v1.0
      at: 2026-08-15
      status: gaps_found      # snapshot of what was true when acknowledged

Suppression applies ONLY while the snapshot still matches reality: `status` for
seven categories, `question_count` for context questions, and for deferred items
a new per-entry `status: acknowledged` distinct from `resolved`, which keeps
meaning "actually fixed". Change the artifact and the acknowledgment stops
applying, so the item comes back on its own.

That is what makes re-opening answer itself with no extra state, and it fails in
the safe direction: a stale acknowledgment can never hide a NEW problem. A
malformed marker is treated as absent — a bad marker must never silence an item.

The check is ONE shared `isAuditItemAcknowledged`, not nine copies. This file has
already been through that defect family twice in this PR.

## Observable, not silent

`audit-open --json` now reports an `acknowledged` count beside `counts`, so a
reviewer can tell a close that is clean because things were fixed from one that
is clean because things were silenced.

## Writer

New `audit-open acknowledge` verb snapshots current state itself, so the marker
is never hand-authored from workflow prose — the gap that left the STATE.md
block with no writer, no schema and two conflicting formats. Writes route
through the existing path-confinement seam.

## Two deliberate limits, failing closed

Heading-delimited deferred entries (#3457) are REFUSED with
`unsupported_heading_shape` rather than edited, because mapping a heading entry
back to its exact source span is not safely derivable when headless and heading
entries interleave in one file. A loud refusal beats a mis-targeted write.

A quick task with no summary gets one created to carry the marker, since there
is otherwise nowhere to put it.

## Tests

Self-invalidation is the important one and is covered per category: acknowledge,
then change the status or question count, and the item resurfaces. Also
malformed markers not suppressing, `status:` byte-unchanged after acknowledging,
the writer refusing a path outside the project, and the four original #3458
scenarios unchanged.

Closes #3458

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

* feat(#3458): wire [A] to the acknowledge verb and converge the disclosure table

Consumer side of the suppression seam.

## The workflow stops hand-authoring the mechanism

`[A]` now calls `audit-open acknowledge` once per open item, then writes the
STATE.md `## Deferred Items` table as before. The table stays as a
human-readable disclosure; it is no longer the mechanism. That closes the gap
where the block had no writer, no schema and no reader — the marker is now
written by the tool, which snapshots current state itself.

The `[R]` / `[A]` / `[C]` prompt is unchanged, `[C]` still means "Cancel — exit
without closing", and no carry-forward option is invented.

The all-clear branch now distinguishes a close that is clean because items were
FIXED from one that is clean because they were ACKNOWLEDGED, using the
`acknowledged.total` count, and carries that into the MILESTONES.md disclosure
line beside the existing override count. A clean close that was bought with
acknowledgments should say so.

## Format drift resolved

Two incompatible `## Deferred Items` shapes shipped simultaneously — 3 columns
in the workflow, 4 in the template, with different body lines. Converged on one
5-column shape carrying the source Milestone, since archived items now appear
and the archived-milestone disambiguator was previously discarded at write time.
The workflow enumerates the categories instead of trailing off in `...`.

## Ack fragment bookkeeping

`complete-milestone.md` grows 6,764 bytes (31,228 → 37,992; cap 61,440), covered
by a new `tests/emitted-drift-acks/3458-*.json`.

`2962-zsh-nomatch-for-glob-portability.json`'s `complete-milestone.md` entry is
REMOVED — the no-duplicate-path rule hard-blocks two sources naming one path.
That entry is spent: the nullglob shim it acknowledges is present in both
`origin/next` and the CI emitted baseline `fd2b97a5`, so its ripple is already
absorbed and it can never clear anything again — verified directly, not assumed,
and the gate's own message directs deleting spent entries. Its other three files'
entries are untouched.

`scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs` wanted to rewrite `explore.md` as well —
pre-existing drift unrelated to this change, reverted. `complete-milestone.md`
still carries exactly one canonical preamble.

Docs cover the verb's real flag surface, the marker's verdict-preserving and
self-invalidating behavior, and the new `acknowledged` count. A second `Added`
changeset covers the verb, since the existing `Fixed` fragment describes only
the archived-phase scanning.

* fix(#3458): close three blockers in the acknowledgment seam

Adversarial review of the seam. Three BLOCKERs, one of which disproves a safety
claim I published in the PR body, the changeset and the docs.

## The claim was false; the code is fixed rather than the claim softened

I wrote that "a stale acknowledgment can never hide a NEW problem". It could.
`context_questions` snapshotted only the question COUNT, so replacing two
acknowledged questions with two brand-new blockers kept the item suppressed.
`uat_gaps` snapshotted only `status`, so adding five more pending scenarios
(`open_scenario_count` 1→6) kept it suppressed.

The snapshot now identifies CONTENT, not size: a digest of the whole question
set, and a status + open-scenario-count composite. Any edit invalidates. The
other seven categories were checked and their single tracked dimension is
already the whole story. Both disproofs now resurface the item.

## Writing to the wrong line, and reporting success

`acknowledgeDeferredItem` built an unanchored regex and exec'd it over the whole
file while match-selection and the ambiguity guard ran over the section body
only, so the write landed at the first match ANYWHERE. A file with `# Notes`
holding `- Fix the parser` above a `## Deferred Items` section holding the same
bullet: the CLI exited 0 saying `acknowledged: true`, injected `status:
acknowledged` under `# Notes`, and re-audit still reported the entry open. It
corrupted unrelated content, suppressed nothing, and claimed success — and since
`--file` is unconstrained the same path could inject into a UAT or VERIFICATION
body.

Matching is now anchored to the selected section, and the matched span is
re-verified against the selected entry before any write; a mismatch refuses with
`match_verification_failed` rather than writing.

## Acknowledging todos hid the ones never shown

`scanTodos` capped at five files and then checked acknowledgment. With seven
todos, acknowledging the five that were LISTED drove `todos: 0`,
`has_open_items: false`, and items six and seven never appeared in any later
scan. The workflow's own "repeat until no todos items" remedy terminates after
one pass. Pre-feature this was unreachable because the count was pinned at five.

That is silent over-suppression — the exact direction this PR exists to remove.
Acknowledged items are now filtered BEFORE the display cap, so unacknowledged
todos beyond it still drive the count.

## The [A] branch could not fail closed

Every acknowledge call sat in a `cmd | while read` pipeline with no status
accumulation, so any refusal was discarded and the close proceeded as
`override_closeout`. Separately, `io.output` swaps payloads over 50000 chars for
an `@file:<path>` sentinel — every `jq` would then fail, every loop body run
zero times, nothing be suppressed, and the close happen anyway.

Both closed: failures accumulate across all invocations and halt before close,
and the sentinel is dereferenced using the same pattern `verify_readiness`
already uses for `INIT_MANAGER`. Quoting was verified sound by the review and is
left alone.

## Also

Suppression is now visible in the human report, not only `--json` — the
"clean because fixed vs clean because silenced" distinction was promised for the
surface an operator actually reads.

The CRLF-preservation branches in the writer were dead: every `.md` write goes
through `_normalizeMd`, which normalizes line endings and blank lines whatever
the writer does. Deleted and documented rather than left as code that cannot run.

## Why these shipped

The review named it exactly: there was no coverage for
`unsupported_heading_shape`, `ambiguous`, `not_found`, duplicate-text
mis-targeting, todos beyond the cap, or CRLF. All are now tested, alongside both
snapshot disproofs and the mixed-section fixture.

Closes #3458

* test(#3458): align the items-open footer wording with its assertion

Remote runner red on one test: the items-open footer must match
`/previously acknowledged item/i`.

The disclosure was NOT missing — the items-open branch already printed
"N additional items previously acknowledged and still suppressed." The word
order simply did not match the regex the test in the same change asserts. A
wording mismatch between my own test and my own implementation, not a behavior
gap.

Reworded to "N previously acknowledged items also suppressed above the M open
items", which satisfies the assertion and states the relationship between the
two counts more plainly than the original did.

Swept `formatAuditReport` for other branches that could skip the tally: the only
early return is the all-clear path, which already discloses it. `scan_error`
sentinels are filtered per category and excluded from `counts.total`, so an
all-error project falls through to that same branch. No inconsistency remains.

* fix(#3458): splice by carried span, digest the untruncated question set

Security review of the writer. Both findings are the same shape, and both are
cases where an earlier fix of mine was incomplete in the same direction: a value
derived for DISPLAY was reused for an IDENTITY or LOCATION decision.

## Writing to the wrong entry, again

The previous fix anchored matching to the `## Deferred Items` SECTION but still
re-found the entry inside it with an unanchored regex, so the write landed at
the first SUBSTRING occurrence rather than the entry's own span. The
`match_verification_failed` guard could not catch it, because the mis-targeted
span is byte-identical to the target.

Probe-confirmed, in a cloned repo's own artifact:

    - CRITICAL unfixed auth bypass
      see also: - minor typo
    - minor typo

Acknowledging "minor typo" appended `status: acknowledged` into the CRITICAL
entry, suppressing it at every future close, while the typo stayed open — exit
0, `"acknowledged": true`. A variant where the target text appears inside
unrelated prose split that line mid-sentence, acknowledged nothing, and still
exited 0, so the workflow's `ACK_FAILURES` halt never fired.

Fixed structurally rather than with a better regex: `splitGapsEntriesWithSpans`
carries each entry's own character span out of the splitter, and the write
splices by that recorded span. The location is already known at selection time —
re-deriving it by searching was the entire defect class. Added as a sibling so
`splitGapsEntries`' three existing callers are untouched. With index-splicing,
`match_verification_failed` becomes a genuine independent cross-check instead of
a guard that could never fire.

## The digest was blind past the third question

`deriveOpenQuestions` truncated to three questions, and clamped each to 200
chars, BEFORE the digest hashed it — so the snapshot could not see the fourth
and later. Ship three innocuous questions, acknowledge, then add real blockers,
and they are permanently invisible: measured `open=0, acknowledged=1`, report
"All artifact types clear."

That is the same self-invalidation property this digest was added to guarantee
one revision ago. The digest now covers the untruncated list; truncation is
display-only.

Found while fixing it: the previous digest joined on a literal raw NUL byte
embedded in the source — collisions are constructible, and reachable through
attacker-controlled YAML `\x00` escapes. Verified both ways. Replaced with a
length-prefixed encoding so no two question sets can collide by concatenation.

## Sweep

Because this is the third incomplete fix on this seam, every identity and
location derivation was swept for the display-vs-identity confusion: uat_gaps
uses status plus a full-content count, the other seven categories use a scalar
status or presence, the deferred `--text` identity is never truncated, and all
five flat categories resolve their file by path rather than by content search.
No further instances.

Closes #3458

* test(#3458): correct two assertions that over-reached the measured behavior

Remote runner red on two of the F1 tests. The source is correct — reproduced
both fixtures against the built CLI — and both failures were bugs in the
assertions I wrote. `src/` is untouched by this commit.

The first is worth recording. It computed the CRITICAL entry's block as

    content.slice(content.indexOf('- CRITICAL'), content.indexOf('- minor typo'))

and `indexOf` found the FIRST SUBSTRING occurrence, which lives inside that
entry's own continuation line `  see also: - minor typo`. The block was
truncated mid-line, so the assertion could never match. The test committed the
exact first-substring-match mistake it exists to catch, one revision after that
mistake was fixed in the source.

The second asserted `deferred_items === 0` after acknowledging the typo entry,
but the decoy `- Note: reference - minor typo elsewhere, ignore` is itself an
open entry and was never acknowledged, so the correct count is 1. It now also
asserts WHICH item remains open — that is what actually proves the right entry
was suppressed, and the original assertion would have passed even if both had
been silenced.

Both now derive their expectations from measured CLI output. A comment records
that the write seam normalizes markdown (`_normalizeMd` inserts a blank line
before a list item following a non-list line) so the inserted line is not later
mistaken for a regression; that is repo-wide behavior for every `.md` write
through the single write projection, not something this change should diverge
from.

Root cause of both: the previous two dispatches verified behavior with direct
CLI probes but never executed the test file, so assertions could over-reach what
had actually been measured. Every other assertion added in those two commits has
since been re-derived from real output; no further mismatches.

fd2b97a52a fix(#3544): restore tilde form for at-refs in the global spec tree (#3551)
* fix(#3544): restore tilde form for at-refs in the global spec tree

A global claude install emitted @$HOME/.claude/gsd-core/references/*.md
in its workflows and references. $HOME does not expand in a Claude Code
@-import - only relative, absolute and ~ are documented, and a controlled
/context test confirmed a $HOME import loads nothing - so 54 includes
across 22 files silently resolved to nothing on a live install.

This is a divergence, not a new bug. #3133 already applies exactly this
correction to skill and command bodies through _applyRuntimeRewrites's
claude case; copyWithPathReplacement, the spec-tree emit path, never had
it. Both now call one exported helper, so the two surfaces cannot drift
apart again.

Deliberately narrower than changing computePathPrefix's return value:
shipped markdown also carries double-quoted "$HOME/.claude/..." shell
invocations, and ~ does not expand inside double quotes, so rewriting the
prefix wholesale would regress #1284. Only @-prefixed references move.

Refs #3544

* fix(#3544): derive the tilde restore from the resolved prefix

Three review findings, one batch.

The restore was hardcoded to the literal .claude directory, so a global
install with --config-dir pointing anywhere else silently no-opped and
reproduced the very defect this fixes. It now derives the tilde form from
the resolved prefix, which also closes the same latent gap in #3133's
original path since both call sites share the helper.

The @-anchor is quote-aware, so a double-quoted shell path is never
rewritten into a form the shell does not expand. Deliberately a lookbehind
rather than a line-start anchor: @-references are documented to work
mid-line, and anchoring would have traded a theoretical bug for a real one.

Found while testing the above: the bare-form rewrites re-matched their own
output whenever a config dir name extends .claude, emitting
.claude-work-work. Guarded with the same negative-lookahead convention
this file already uses to preserve .claude-plugin.

The tests prove the emitted form, never that the host resolves it - no CI
test can - and both the helper and the suite now say so, because an
undocumented verification boundary is how this defect stayed green for its
whole life.

Refs #3544

* test(#3544): acknowledge the tilde-restore emitted drift

The converter change moves 94 emitted paths that no source-file diff can
explain, which is exactly the case the per-PR ack fragment exists for.
Verified before acknowledging rather than after: both trees were built
from real installs and every one of the 211 changed lines across all 94
paths is @$HOME becoming @~, with nothing outside that single kind.

Nine spent entries were pruned from the #3151 and #2658 fragments. Those
paths moved again here, and two ack sources naming one path is a hard
duplicate error rather than last-wins, so the inert entries had to go
before this one could land. Both fragments retain their remaining
entries.

d37e594ec8 fix(#2873): write bidi codepoints as escapes, not literals
The invisible-Unicode scan flagged the compiled sanitizer: BIDI_RE in
install-shadow-report.cts carried literal U+202A-U+202E where its two
neighbouring regexes already used \u{...} escapes, so the module that
strips bidi controls was itself a carrier for them.

The prompt-injection-scan failure alongside it was the same defect rolling
up through the parent describe, not a second cause - verified by running
the scanner across every category it checks.

Test fixtures and property generators now name their codepoints (RLO, LRE,
PDI) instead of embedding invisible bytes, so a reviewer can see which
character is under test.

147856040b fix(#2873): close review findings across fences, sanitizer and docs
Isolated security review found resolveSpecRootReference's fence tracker
toggled on any delimiter, so a backtick fence could be closed by a tilde
one and an include in the gap was rewritten inside a code block. Fixed by
reusing scanFencedBlocks - the canonical engine already behind
stripFencedCode and extractFencedBlock - rather than carrying a fourth
copy of fence detection, which also closes the duplication the standards
review flagged.

sanitizeForRender now strips combining marks and zero-width characters
alongside the ANSI, control and bidi classes it already handled.

Adds the C, E and F matrix rows the spec review found missing, including
installer-level coverage that spawns the real install rather than calling
the report builder. Ships the how-to, the reference and command docs in
five locales, the changeset, the inventory and glossary entries, and
regenerates health.md for the new W028 rule.

2641e6cb67 feat(#2873): detect cross-scope shadowing and reach the local spec tree
4a - the detection floor. A shadowed install now reports which triggers are
shadowed and which scope wins, at install time and through a new W028
/gsd-health diagnostic. Exit codes are untouched: a shadowed install is a
warning, not a failure. Only triggers whose stem exists at BOTH scopes are
reported, so a global full profile beside a local core profile no longer
names local artifacts the user does not have.

4b - spec-root reachability, claude runtime and global scope only. The
winning global skill stops carrying a static workflow @-include and instead
resolves its spec at runtime: prefer the project-local copy, fall back to
the global one, stop if neither exists. Every other @-include stays static,
and the local emission is byte-identical. It runs after the staged-skills
rewrite pass, whose claude branch would otherwise mangle the literal tilde
path into an undocumented $HOME form.

Also fixed inline: readInstallManifest classified a top-level JSON array as
an installed v1 manifest, because typeof [] is object.

52f4ea17cc feat(#2873): project installed surfaces into a shadow report
New read-only leaf src/install-shadow-report.cts turns Phase 3's
resolveInstalledSurfaces output into a typed shadow-report IR plus a
line-array renderer, with declaredRuntime sanitized at the render seam
(ANSI, C0/C1, newlines, bidi overrides; idempotent, no second truncation
over the reader's 64-char cap).

Also closes the symlink asymmetry the resolver carried: the local scope
resolves against process.cwd(), and this phase is what makes that path
reachable from an arbitrary cloned repository, so the manifest read is now
lstat-guarded rather than following. Matches the getAgentsDir precedent and
degrades to the same installed:false shape the EACCES path already returned.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(#3518): pin uat_path to the phase's own UAT artifact via the shared phase-pinned resolver

Both uat_path projectors in src/init.cts picked the phase's UAT file with a
bare .find() over unsorted readdir order — no phase-membership check, no
ordering — so a stray cross-phase 04-UAT.md in phase 03's directory could
become phase 03's uat_path, filesystem-dependently (creation order on APFS,
hash order on ext4/XFS): two machines on the same commit could emit different
uat_path values for the same phase.

Route both sites through a new resolveUatFile in src/verification.cts, the
UAT counterpart of #3357/#3492's resolveVerificationFile, sharing the exact
selection rule via one extracted core (resolvePhaseArtifactFile): the phase's
own <token>-UAT.md always wins; otherwise the alphabetically-first dashed
candidate (deterministic everywhere); a bare UAT.md only via allowBare when
no dashed candidate exists. resolveVerificationFile now delegates to the same
core — behavior byte-identical.

Guarded by: two end-to-end repro tests in tests/init.test.cjs (plan-phase and
phase-op, red on the pre-fix readdir pick), resolveUatFile contract anchors
and a src/-wide call-site guard in tests/verification-status.test.cjs.

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

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

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

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

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