0be5bf865a enhance(#3783): audit-uat summary segments current-milestone vs archived debt (#4336)
* test(#3783): add failing coverage for audit-uat summary segmentation

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

* fix(#3783): segment audit-uat summary into current_milestone and archived buckets

Additive: current_milestone/archived are new; total_items, total_files, parse_gap_files, by_phase, and by_category are unchanged.

* docs(#3783): add changeset fragment for audit-uat summary segmentation

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

* chore(#3783): allowlist the new audit-uat-summary-segmentation test file

lint-test-file-count.cjs baselines the "audit" module (keyed off bin/lib/audit.cjs)
at 6 pre-existing files; this adds the new dedicated suite as a 7th, matching the
module's existing one-file-per-feature-slice precedent.

* test(#3783): fix phase/file number mismatch in the mixed-milestone fixture

The active phase fixture used dir "02-current" with file "01-UAT.md" — a
cross-phase stray per phase-id.cts's isPhaseArtifact/scopeToPhase (#3511),
so the file was silently excluded from the scan and current_milestone read
{files:0, items:0} instead of {files:1, items:1}. Confirmed by direct CLI
run against a hand-built fixture before recommitting. Renamed the file to
02-UAT.md to match its directory's phase number, matching every other
fixture in this suite.

77e2472ca0 enhance(#4221): replace installer Read() deny rules with a managed secret-read guard hook (#4236)
* feat(#4221): gsd-secret-read-guard PreToolUse hook + registration

Add hooks/gsd-secret-read-guard.js, a blocking PreToolUse guard on
Read|Grep|Bash that denies reads of .env, .env.<suffix> and .secrets
(the .env.example/.sample/.template/.dist templates stay readable).
Read checks file_path; Grep checks an explicit path and judges the glob
per brace alternative; Bash runs a two-pass token scan (quotes, comments,
redirects with fd digits, separators, $( )/backtick/<( ) recursion,
heredoc bodies never scanned as commands, nested bash -c/eval rescans,
git <ref>:<path> shapes) with a closed non-reading exemption set for
existence checks. Fail-open crash policy; 1 MiB commands are denied as
command-too-large; more than 64 glob alternatives as glob-too-complex.

Why: Claude Code 2.1.259 makes every `cd DIR && grep …` compound prompt
for approval whenever any Read() deny rule exists, even in auto mode. A
hook denial is not a permission rule and never arms that check. The
installer-written deny rules are retired in the follow-up commit.

Registration: hooks.json (Read|Grep|Bash, timeout 5), build-hooks
HOOKS_TO_COPY, managed-hooks-registry, runtime-hooks-surface (blocking
guard with BLOCKING_GUARD_TIMEOUT_S; Kimi ReadFile|Grep|Shell),
shell-command-projection managed sets, installer-migration-report,
OpenCode/Kilo plugin (grep tool mapping, include -> glob, dispatch),
docs tables in five locales, ADR-766 always-on list, regen:derived
fixtures, and a new table-driven unit suite.

* test(#4221): pin the secret-read guard in existing hook gates

Register gsd-secret-read-guard.js in every existing hook gate: the
hooks-crash-policy table (deny row; 6 -> 7 deny cases), plugin-manifest
REQUIRED_HOOKS and its Read|Grep|Bash group, docs-hooks-table-parity
EXPECTED_SURFACE_HOOKS, install.test MANAGED_JS_HOOKS, install-minimal-
hooks JS_HOOKS/BLOCKING_GUARDS, portable-node-runner GUARD_HOOKS,
kilo-upgrades PLUGIN_GUARD_HOOKS, the Kimi normalization-parity and
typed-payload floors, the OpenCode adapter (grep mapping, include ->
glob, three dispatch tests) and a Kimi TOML matcher assertion.

* fix(#4221): retire installer Read() deny rules (legacy filter)

Rename GSD_CLAUDE_DENY_PERMISSIONS to GSD_CLAUDE_LEGACY_DENY_PERMISSIONS
and stop adding the three Read(.env) / Read(.env.*) / Read(.secrets)
strings. mergeClaudePermissions now only filters them out of an existing
permissions.deny: an absent deny key stays absent, a malformed one is
still repaired to [], and an array emptied by the filter is deleted so
no `"deny": []` residue is left. Uninstall filters the same legacy list
and, symmetric with the Antigravity branch, drops an emptied allow or
deny key and an emptied permissions object.

Unlike the #2278 allow-side migration there is no surviving current
deny list, so the constant is renamed rather than mirrored. Removal is
byte-exact: a hand-written identical rule is indistinguishable from the
installer's and is removed too (the manifest never recorded permission
strings). USER-GUIDE and CONTEXT.md updated.

* test(#4221): flip install-regressions deny-rule assertions to the retired shape

The fresh-merge, non-destructive merge, idempotency, end-to-end install,
reinstall and uninstall assertions now expect no Read(.env*) deny rules
and no permissions.deny key on a fresh install; the deny:null repair case
is kept. A new describe block covers the legacy filter: retired strings
removed with a user entry kept, partial sets, near-miss strings
untouched, idempotency, GSD-only deny array deleted, a pre-existing
empty deny preserved, and uninstall symmetry for allow/deny/permissions.

* chore(#4221): add changeset fragment for PR #4236

* fix(#4221): case-fold names; scan shell stdin and xargs pipes

Review round 1 (trek-e):

- Blocker: secret-name matching is now case-insensitive in the Read,
  Grep (path and glob) and Bash paths, so `.ENV` / `.Secrets` on a
  case-insensitive filesystem are recognized as the same secret file.
- Major: a shell interpreter's script is now scanned wherever it comes
  from. The tokenizer keeps heredoc bodies as per-segment tokens and
  records separator operators; pass 2 groups by segment id and resolves
  bash/sh/zsh/dash/ksh/su invocation mode: `-c` (including combined
  `-lc`) scans the script operand, a file operand is checked as a file
  (a `<( )` operand's echo/printf output is reconstructed), otherwise
  stdin is the script and heredocs, here-strings and a piped echo/printf
  source are scanned. `eval` joins all its operands; `source`/`.` handle
  process substitution. Data heredocs (`cat <<EOF`, the commit-message
  shape) stay unscanned.
- Major: `… | xargs <cmd>` checks the upstream segment's operands as
  file names when the sub-command reads (`echo .env | xargs cat`,
  `find . -name .env | xargs cat`); `-a`/`--arg-file` suppresses the
  inference; a shell sub-command's `-c` script is scanned.

Header, USER-GUIDE bullet and changeset updated; documented gaps now
include piped scripts from non-echo sources and `exec`/`timeout`
wrappers. 60 new suite cases pin the block and allow shapes.

0fca71eaae enhance(#2529): cover every workflow with response-language directives + CI lint (#2558)
* enhance(#2529): cover every workflow with response-language directives + CI lint

Every workflow now carries response-language coverage in one of three forms,
and a CI lint keeps it that way.

- 43 workflows load the new shared reference,
  `gsd-core/references/response-language-directive.md`, by eager `@`-import.
- Lazy-loaded modes/steps/templates, which cannot rely on an eager import,
  carry an exact inline directive; 35 such paths are pinned by exact path.
- Fragments dispatched by a covered parent inherit coverage, proven per file
  rather than granted per directory.

The 45 workflows whose directive covered only "questions, prompts, and
explanations" now name inter-tool narration, which is the defect #2529
reports: the running commentary between tool calls stayed English while the
answers around it were translated.

`scripts/lint-response-language-coverage.cjs` enforces it and fails closed on
three independent discovery failures (unreadable catalog, empty catalog,
unfollowed symlink). It resolves which reference a workflow imports and applies
the same four-predicate test to that file, so a weakened shared reference
uncovers its importers instead of passing silently, reported once as a systemic
failure rather than 43 times. The walk follows symlinked subtrees with a
realpath cycle bound. `lint:ci` invokes it by name.

REQ-LANG-03 and REQ-LANG-04 state the contract in docs/FEATURES.md;
REQ-LANG-04 names the two forms that satisfy it ("narration", "between tool
calls") rather than enumerating class members an author cannot use verbatim,
and a test pins that text to what the matcher accepts.

* chore(#2529): register the coverage test in the docs-guard lane

`107eb8c1` (#3787) landed the docs-guard lane on `next` while this PR was
open: a test that reads a `docs/` path must be named in
`scripts/docs-guard-registry.cjs` or carry a `docs-guard-exempt` marker,
so the guards that read a doc run on the PR that changes it.

`tests/response-language-coverage.test.cjs` reads `docs/FEATURES.md` -- it
extracts every form REQ-LANG-04 offers an author and runs each through the
matcher that enforces it. Registration, not exemption, is the correct side
of that gate: a reword of the requirement with no code change is precisely
the diff this test exists to catch, and it is the diff the lane would
otherwise skip.

Registered narrowly (`['docs/FEATURES.md']`) rather than with the `'*'`
sentinel, so an unrelated docs change does not pull this test into the lane.

Verified: lint-docs-guard-registration 0 violations, tests/ci-docs-guard-registry.test.cjs
51/51, lint:ci exit 0.

* chore(#2529): consolidate this PR's emitted-growth acks into its own fragment

This PR ripples emitted bytes across 85 workflow paths. Until now each ripple
was acknowledged by appending to whichever live fragment owned that path,
because two ack sources may never name the same path.

`a84f7563` (#3078) swept all 45 fully-spent fragments off `next`. Forty-two of
the paths this PR grows were owned by swept fragments, so those keys are now
unowned and this PR's own fragment declares them directly -- one path, one
source, and no dependence on a fragment that no longer exists. Each adopted
entry keeps its measurement and records where it came from.

Two paths are handled differently, because the sweep did not free them:

- `review.md` is now owned by `3034-parallel-reviewer-lanes.json`, which
  landed on `next` after the sweep. Its entry is live, so the old route still
  applies: this PR's note is appended to that entry rather than declared a
  second time.
- `plan-review-convergence.md` keeps the arrangement made in round 24.

Result: 3 fragments in the directory, 85 keys in this PR's own,
0 cross-source duplicates. `lint-emitted-drift-ack` exit 0,
`tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs` green.

* fix(#2529): move REQ-LANG-03/04 into the feature fragment that now generates them

`36375513` (#3845) made docs/FEATURES.md a generated projection of
docs/features/*.md, marked "do not edit by hand". This PR wrote REQ-LANG-03
and REQ-LANG-04 straight into the generated file, so the rebase left the
requirement present in the projection and absent from its source -- the next
regeneration would have deleted both, and `tests/features-index-gate.test.cjs`
was already red on the mismatch.

Both requirements now live in docs/features/response-language-config.md
alongside REQ-LANG-01 and -02. Regenerating produces a docs/FEATURES.md that is
byte-identical to the committed one, so the text this PR shipped is unchanged --
only its source of truth moved to where #3840 put it.

The docs-guard registration is widened to name the fragment as well as the
projection. The requirement's source is the fragment now, and an edit there
that skips regeneration would otherwise reach this guard through neither path.

Verified: features-index-gate 68/68, lint-docs-guard-registration 0 violations,
ci-docs-guard-registry + response-language-coverage 142/142.

* chore(#2529): hand the plan-phase ack back to its new live owner

`c933184b` (#3825) landed `3172-stated-failing-direction.json` on `next` after
fragment had adopted that path when the sweep left it unowned, so the merged
tree named it from two sources -- a hard failure in
`scripts/lint-emitted-drift-ack.cjs`.

The path has a live owner again, so the append route applies: this PR's note
joins that entry, carrying its own measurement, and the key is dropped from
this PR's fragment (84 keys left, the others untouched). The provenance
sentence written for the swept-fragment case is removed rather than reused --
this path was never orphaned, so that account of it would be false.

Same shape as `review.md` and `plan-review-convergence.md`: ownership is a
property of the merged tree, and a fragment landing upstream after a push can
reclaim a key no local check would have flagged.

Verified: lint-emitted-drift-ack exit 0, lint:ci exit 0.

* fix(#2529): state byte figures that are true against the tree

The reference claimed `execute-phase.md` has "2 bytes of headroom under the
ceiling named below". That was true when the sentence was written -- the file
sat at 93398 against the 93400 comfort assert -- and upstream has since shrunk
it to 91493 against a 93600 hard ceiling, so the figure now understates the
headroom by three orders of magnitude. The rationale the sentence supports does
not depend on the number, so the number is gone rather than refreshed: a
restated figure would go stale again on the next upstream edit, and nothing
parses it.

Audited every other numeric claim this PR ships the same way, mechanically
against the merge base: all 82 FILE-delta claims in the ack fragment match the
real per-file delta exactly, and the 1,629-byte reference and 63-byte import
line check out. One class was imprecise: the 41 notes for workflows whose
inline directive was rewritten in place quoted the conversion counterfactual as
"+1,692 bytes more loaded context", which is the reference form's whole weight,
not the increase over the inline directive those files already carry. Each now
names both quantities and the net (+1,605 / +1,609 / +1,584).

* fix(#2529): one rule for pinned vs inherited coverage, and the docs to pick it

Review measured that 14 of the 35 pinned fragments would pass by inheritance
anyway, and that the PR asserted both readings at once: inheritance is real
coverage (so those 14 pins are noise) or it is not (so 30 inheriting fragments
are green-but-uncovered). Only one can be true.

Inheritance is real: the predicate proves it per file -- the parent must
dispatch this exact path from a read/execute context AND be covered itself --
so the parent's directive is in the loaded context by the time the fragment is
read. The 14 pins are therefore removed along with the directive lines they
pinned, and those files inherit like the 30 structurally identical ones. The
rule is now stated where the set is declared, and enforced from the other side
by a test: no member of the pinned set may be one that would have inherited.
That is what decides the form for the next fragment.

- pinned set 35 -> 21; 14 workflow files revert to their base content
- `findViolations` no longer returns early on a pinned path: a file that becomes
  eagerly loaded and takes the shared reference is strictly better off, and the
  gate must not red that. The reference form is admitted because its own wording
  is validated in turn; an arbitrary reworded inline line still fails.
- the reference-directive cache is keyed by size and mtime, not by path alone,
  so a rewritten reference re-asked in one process no longer returns the stale
  verdict
- `carriesInlineDirective` names its negation blindness: four independent hits
  read vocabulary, not polarity
- the real-tree scan asserts each source produced files instead of `> 152`, a
  constant that read as the workflow count and would have passed a scan that
  lost one of its two directories
- the pinned-set size assertion goes the same way: the size follows from the
  rule, so the rule is what the suite asserts

Docs, for the gate that now governs every future workflow:
- `docs/contributing/response-language-coverage.md` -- why the narration class
  is the discriminator, the four coverage forms, the decision order that picks
  one, the pinned line, and what each failure message means
- a row in CONTRIBUTING.md's CI checks table, matching the docs-guard row
- `docs/CONFIGURATION.md` points at it from the `response_language` entry

Also: the changeset said 45 reworded workflows; it is 44 (42 @-reference + 21
pinned + 44 rewritten = 107 touched). That text ships to CHANGELOG.md.

`3707-parse-gap-reporting.json` landed on `next` reclaiming `audit-uat.md` and
`progress.md`; both handed back by the append route, leaving 82 keys here.

* fix(#2529): correct the reference-taker count, 43 -> 42

The ack notes said the import line is byte-identical "in each of the 43
workflows that take the reference" and that the alternative would be "43 inline
copies". The shared reference has 42 importers; the 43rd file in review's table
is `execute-phase.md`, which imports the OTHER reference. Corrected in all 41
notes that carry the sentence, across this PR's fragment and the two it appends
to.

Found by re-running the numeric audit from the previous round after the rebase,
which also re-verified all 84 FILE-delta claims against the new base -- all
exact.

* chore(#2529): migrate the emitted-drift ack from a fragment to commit trailers

ADR-3942 (#3954) landed while this PR was open: the acknowledgment is now a commit
trailer and tests/emitted-drift-acks/ no longer exists. The fragment is deleted and
each key it declared becomes one trailer, reasons unchanged.

The four keys this PR had handed to 3034-*, 3172-* and 3707-* under the one-source
rule come home here. That rule was the whole reason for the hand-backs, and the
trailer model has no shared namespace to collide in -- five of this PR's rounds were
spent on exactly those collisions.

LOADED-CONTEXT delta: +1,692 bytes per workflow — the 63-byte import line plus the 1,629 bytes of `gsd-core/references/response-language-directive.md`, because an `@`-import in this repo is EAGER (ADR-1610 Decision point 4; docs/ARCHITECTURE.md: moving prose into a file that is still eagerly `@`-imported "shrinks the measured file without shrinking loaded context"). The repo's size gates — the tier hard caps in `tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs` and this size ratchet — measure the FILE, not the transitive inline, so they see 63 of those 1,692 bytes; the remaining 1,629 are declared here because no gate reads them. The eager import is accepted on its merits, not hidden: 42 inline copies would be 43 places for the wording to drift, and the reference is the one place it is maintained. Prose only: no step, gate, tool invocation, or subagent dispatch shape changed.

Round 36 replaces the compressed clause with the same enumeration the other rewordings carry — narration between tool calls, status updates, progress notes, findings, questions, prompts, and explanations — because `discuss-phase.md` started from the identical upstream sentence as `verify-work.md` and `new-milestone.md` and those two took the full list, so the shorthand was an inconsistency rather than a decision. +87 bytes against `next`, prose only: no step, gate, tool invocation, or subagent dispatch shape changed.

FILE delta and LOADED-CONTEXT delta are both +87 here, and that identity is the point — the directive was deliberately NOT converted to an `@`-reference, because an `@`-import in this repo is EAGER (ADR-1610 Decision point 4; docs/ARCHITECTURE.md: moving prose into a file that is still eagerly `@`-imported "shrinks the measured file without shrinking loaded context"), so the conversion would have bought a smaller measured file at a cost of 1,692 bytes of loaded context per workflow — the 63-byte import line plus the 1,629-byte reference — against the 87 bytes this inline directive costs, a net +1,605. Stated plainly because the gates cannot state it: the repo's size gates — the tier hard caps in `tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs` and this size ratchet — measure the FILE, not the transitive inline, so an `@`-reference conversion would have READ as a smaller change to every gate in the repo while costing 1,605 bytes more loaded context per invocation.

* fix(#2529): read the catalog-relative dispatch spelling, and the plural of "output"

Two false positives in the coverage lint, both surfaced by this round's work
rather than by a red gate finding them for us.

#3552 landed `execute-phase/steps/protected-branch.md` on next while this PR was
open, dispatched from execute-phase.md's `"none"` arm with the path written
RELATIVE to the catalog. `namesFragmentAsEntryPoint` only ever looked for the
`gsd-core/workflows/`-rooted spelling, so it read a live dispatch as no dispatch
and the new fragment as uncovered. It now accepts both spellings and matches the
relative one on a path boundary, so `vendor/<path>` cannot vouch for `<path>`.

Recognizing that spelling makes one pin redundant: execute-phase.md dispatches
executor-isolation-dispatch.md the same way, so the fragment inherits and its
own copy of the sentence comes back out. That is the rule round 29 encoded,
enforced by the test that measures it rather than by hand.

`output` was the one term in USER_OUTPUT_RE without an `s?`, so "translate all
outputs, including narration between tool calls" read as uncovered. The new
property tests caught it on their first run.

Those properties pin the rule the hand-written cases are instances of: four
signals on ONE line accept, dropping any one rejects, spreading them across
lines rejects. The vocabulary is written out in the test rather than read back
from the script's regexes, per CONTRIBUTING.md "Fixture provenance (#2371)" -- a
generator seeded from the matcher can only re-derive what the matcher already
believes, and that independence is what caught the plural. Both new properties
are mutation-verified: dropping the narration predicate reds the necessity
property, and collapsing the document to a single line reds the cross-line one.

* enhance(#2529): spell the narration enumeration out in the last two shorthand directives

discuss-phase.md and plan-phase.md were the only two of this PR's 44
rewordings that abbreviated the inserted clause to "narration between tool
calls included" instead of naming the output classes the way the rest of them
do. Both forms satisfy the lint's four predicates, so nothing was broken --
but the point of #2529 is that an author reading one workflow should not have
to infer what the neighbouring one means by "included".

Both abbreviations were size decisions rather than wording ones, and both
reasons have since expired because next shrank the files. discuss-phase.md
sat 25 bytes under the 32,000-byte #717 dispatcher budget and now has 1,825;
plan-phase.md sat 87 bytes under the 94,519-byte ADR-857 capstone ratchet
against a +108 clause and now has 3,180. Neither budget is raised here and no
unrelated prose is trimmed; workflow-size-budget and
phase6-capstone-conformance both pass.

discuss-phase.md started from the identical upstream sentence as verify-work.md
and new-milestone.md ("All user-facing questions, prompts, and explanations in
this workflow"), and those two received the full enumeration; it now matches
them exactly. plan-phase.md keeps its own scope word ("orchestrator output") and
its subagent pass-through instruction, both upstream's, and only trades the
shorthand for the enumeration.

The shorthand now appears nowhere in the catalog. The two remaining variants
(plan-review-convergence.md, spec-phase.md) keep upstream's own verb and scope
and end on "report prose", which is what those workflows actually emit --
rewriting those would change a directive's strength, not its wording.

* fix(#2529): match the workflow extension case-insensitively in coverage discovery

`findMarkdownFilesRecursive` filtered on `entry.name.endsWith('.md')`, so
`SETTINGS.MD` — the same file to Windows and macOS, a different one to Linux —
was skipped on the only platform whose verdict gates the merge. The direction of
that failure is the problem: a workflow the walk declines to see is a workflow
this lint certifies by omission, which is the same vacuous pass `main()` already
refuses when discovery returns nothing at all.

The filter is now an allowlist keyed on the lowercased `path.extname`.
`.mdx` stays out on purpose: admitting an extension states what a workflow IS,
and that claim has a second half — `inheritsParentCoverage` resolves a
fragment's parent as `<workflow>.md`. An `.mdx` entry belongs here next to the
parent resolution it would have to move with, not ahead of it.

Two tests: an uppercase-extension file is discovered AND lands as a violation
rather than an exemption, and every admitted extension is spelled so the
lowercasing match can reach it (an uppercase or dotless entry would be dead
configuration that reads like coverage).

PR #4212) with no response-language directive, so the merge result reds this
PR's own lint with 10 violations. The lint is doing exactly what it exists to
do; the coverage is what has to move.

`quick-batch.md` takes the shared @-reference on line 1, the same as the other
42 top-level workflows, and eight of the nine fragments then inherit through
its `read and execute` stubs. The ninth does not:
`quick-batch/steps/plan-checker-loop.md` is dispatched by a SIBLING fragment
(`planner-wave.md:134`) and named in the parent only inside a parenthetical
with no dispatch verb, which is the shape round 29's rule already covers for
`execute-phase/steps/regression-gate-run.md` and
`plan-phase/steps/prd-express-path.md`. It carries the pinned inline directive
and joins `EXACT_INLINE_DIRECTIVE_WORKFLOWS`; the comment above that set now
names four such fragments instead of three. Coverage: 163 workflows.

`FULL_BUDGET` in tests/skill-frontmatter-contract.test.cjs moves 844 -> 846.
The same commit grew `help/modes/full.md` from 834 to 844 lines, landing it
exactly on the ceiling with zero slack, and the two lines this PR adds there
are its pinned directive and the blank separating it. That is a coverage
contract every workflow carries, not the content creep the budget guards.
The #597 ratchet rule holds: actualMax 846, slack 0, well inside LARGE_GRACE.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: quick-batch.md — #2529: the workflow arrived on `next` in 2f64e6230 (#3676, PR #4212) with no response-language directive, so this PR's lint reds on the merge result; covering it is the PR's whole contract, not an optional extra. It gains the shared directive as a single eager `@`-reference line, the identical form the other 42 top-level workflows take. FILE delta: +62 bytes, as the gate measures it. LOADED-CONTEXT delta: +1,691 bytes — the import line plus the 1,629 bytes of `gsd-core/references/response-language-directive.md`, because an `@`-import in this repo is EAGER (ADR-1610 Decision point 4; docs/ARCHITECTURE.md: moving prose into a file that is still eagerly `@`-imported "shrinks the measured file without shrinking loaded context"). The repo's size gates read the FILE and not the transitive inline, so they see 62 of those 1,691 bytes; the remaining 1,629 are declared here because no gate reads them. Prose only: no step, gate, tool invocation, or subagent dispatch shape changed. Nine `quick-batch/steps/*` fragments are covered without a byte of their own — eight inherit through the parent's dispatch stubs, and the ninth takes the pinned inline sentence, which the emitted surface does not measure.

* fix(#2529): scope row 48 by what a diff says, not by which paths it names

`tests/gsd-quick-batch-quick-regression.test.cjs` treats any branch touching a
`quick-batch` path as #3676 phase work, then forbids it from editing ordinary
`quick.md`. This PR covers EVERY workflow with the shared response-language
directive — quick-batch.md and its fragments included — so the scope check
turned true, and the row read this PR's one-line directive on `quick.md` as a
phase violation.

That is the false positive the row's own #3730 note already scoped away from,
arriving by the other door: not an unrelated branch that misses the surface,
but a catalog-wide sweep that touches all of it. A path now counts as phase
work only when its diff says something other than the coverage contract, and
the two accepted directive forms are read from
`scripts/lint-response-language-coverage.cjs` rather than restated, so a
reworded contract cannot leave the carve-out matching prose the lint no longer
recognizes. A file the branch ADDED still counts — every line is new, which is
what a real #3676-phase branch looks like.

The invariant is unweakened in the direction that matters: a phase branch that
edits `commands/gsd/quick.md`, `gsd-core/workflows/quick.md` or anything under
`quick/steps/` for any reason other than the directive still fails the row.

75ee7b0214 enhance(#4273): add phase.tdd-applicable single-owner predicate (#4277)
* enhance(#4273): add phase.tdd-applicable single-owner predicate

One query verb computes TDD-applicability for a plan (CLI flag, plan
type: tdd frontmatter, a task's tdd="true" attribute, or the
workflow.tdd_mode config default), mirroring phase.mvp-mode's
precedence-cascade shape. Foundation for epic #4272 Phase 2, which
wires both dispatch backends to consume it instead of restating the
predicate independently.

Also fixes workflow.tdd_mode, workflow.research, and
workflow.nyquist_validation, which never reached
cmdInitExecutePhase/cmdInitPlanPhase/cmdInitDebug/cmdInitNewMilestone
because loadConfig() never populates config.workflow — a dead
accessor found while wiring this verb's own config read, fixed inline
per the no-defer rule rather than left alongside it.

* docs(#4273): document phase.tdd-applicable's FEATURES.md entry

Add a docs/features/ fragment for the new phase.tdd-applicable query
verb and regenerate docs/FEATURES.md. docs/COMMANDS.md is left
untouched: it documents /gsd-* slash commands only, and the sibling
verb phase.tdd-applicable mirrors (phase.mvp-mode) has no formal CLI
reference entry anywhere in docs/ either -- only inline prose mentions
in docs/reference/workflow-fragments.md -- so there is no COMMANDS.md
precedent to extend.

* fix(#4273): stop whitelisting capability-owned config keys centrally

workflow.tdd_mode, workflow.research, and workflow.nyquist_validation are
each already owned by their own first-party capability's federated config
schema (the tdd/research/nyquist capabilities declare them under their own
capability.json `config`), resolved via isCapabilityConfigKey. Adding them
to gsd-core/bin/shared/config-schema.manifest.json's central validKeys, as
the prior commit in this branch did (mirroring workflow.mvp_mode, which
genuinely is central-only), declares the same key in two places at once.
That collision breaks capability-loader.cts's loadRegistry composition:
gsd-test caught this as 84-85 unrelated failures across
capability-cli/capability-command-dispatch/capability-lifecycle test files,
every one showing "unknown capability: <id>" for a freshly-installed
third-party capability that should have resolved fine.

Verified directly (not asserted): reverting only this file, keeping the
config-loader.cts tdd_mode/research/nyquist_validation flattening and the
init.cts call-site fixes from the prior commit, and re-running the exact
capability install + capability set repro from
tests/capability-cli.test.cjs's "issue-2322" test locally reproduces the
failure with the whitelist entries present and clears it without them.
loadConfig() still surfaces all three flattened values correctly with no
central whitelist entry (confirmed directly against the compiled module) —
the whitelist additions were never required for the #4273 fix to work; they
were an incorrect over-application of the mvp_mode precedent to keys that
aren't central.

* fix(#4273): use getNested for tdd_mode (no legacy top-level fallback), allowlist new test file

Both fixes address defects found by a gsd-test bench run: tdd_mode routed through get() invented an undocumented top-level alias that silently outranked the canonical workflow.tdd_mode key, and the new phase-tdd-applicable test file was missing from the file-count allowlist.

18e5cfff8a fix(#4250, #4260): distinguish a timed-out npm audit from a JSON parse failure, retry with backoff (#4251)
* fix(#4250): distinguish a timed-out npm audit from a JSON parse failure

npm-audit-baseline.cjs's runPackageLockAudit, and the near-identical
auditProductionVulns helper in npm-integrity-gate.test.cjs, both grabbed
e.stdout whenever an npm audit child process exited non-zero -- without
checking whether the process was actually killed by its 180s timeout.
A timeout-killed process's stdout is truncated mid-write, not complete
JSON, so JSON.parse threw a misleading "Unexpected end of JSON input"
instead of naming npm's registry timeout as the real cause.

Root-caused live during a CI investigation: npm's own status page
reported degraded service, and the registry's bulk-advisories endpoint
was returning 503/hanging, causing npm audit to sit until the timeout
fired.

Adds a shared isTimeoutKill(error) predicate (checks execFileSync's
documented killed/signal fields) and checks it first in both catch
blocks, throwing a clear, actionable error before ever reaching
JSON.parse. The pre-existing "non-zero exit with complete JSON"
recovery path is unchanged and still covered by regression tests.

* fix(#4250): share the timeout-kill error message and cover auditProductionVulns

Two independent review passes (standards + spec) on the first commit found
real gaps: the timeout-kill error message was duplicated verbatim between
runPackageLockAudit and the near-identical auditProductionVulns helper in
tests/npm-integrity-gate.test.cjs (this repo's own Generative Fix Divergence
anti-pattern -- shared logic across parallel surfaces with no parity check),
and auditProductionVulns picked up the same production fix with zero test
coverage of its own.

Extracts buildTimeoutKillError(cwd), used by both callers so the message
cannot independently drift. Gives auditProductionVulns the same injectable
execFileSyncImpl seam runPackageLockAudit already had, and adds the matching
regression tests (timeout-kill throws the clear error; the pre-existing
non-zero-exit-with-complete-JSON path still recovers correctly).

* diag(#4250): surface captured stderr in the timeout-kill error

The killed child process's stderr is buffered in-memory by execFileSync
and attached to the thrown error, but nothing surfaced it -- the timeout
message named the timeout but discarded the one piece of data that could
show WHY npm was still running when it fired (DNS stall, TLS handshake
stall, a registry-side retry loop, all look identical without it).

buildTimeoutKillError now takes the killed error and includes its stderr
(or an explicit 'no stderr was captured' note) in the message. This is a
diagnostic improvement for the next CI occurrence, not a behavior fix --
local reproduction has directly ruled out npm version (installed the
exact CI-bundled 11.17.0 and ran it against this repo: 0.49s, clean),
general npm registry reachability (0.4-1.4s locally, repeatedly), and
npm ci speed (2m, succeeded) as explanations for the 180s CI hangs.

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

* fix(#4260): bounded retry with backoff for npm audit calls, finish the extraction

The audit backend has real, independent latency variance from the rest of
the npm registry -- measured (see #4260): a bulk-advisories POST took
43.41s vs 0.20s for a plain registry fetch on the same host, and the same
endpoint returned no response at all (000) twice in the same window,
while status.npmjs.org reported fully operational throughout. Against
that, runPackageLockAudit and its near-duplicate auditProductionVulns
each made exactly one attempt with no retry -- any single bad moment
failed a REQUIRED CI gate on a transport hiccup, not a real advisory.

Replaces the single 180s attempt with runNpmAuditWithRetry: up to 3
attempts at 60s each (comfortably above the worst measured working
latency) with exponential backoff between them. Only a confirmed
timeout-kill is retried; a genuine non-timeout failure still fails
immediately, and exhausting all attempts still fails the gate -- per
#4260's own caveat, silently disarming a required security check on a
transport error is worse than occasionally re-running CI.

Also finishes the extraction #4260 flagged as stopped halfway:
auditProductionVulns (tests/npm-integrity-gate.test.cjs) duplicated
runPackageLockAudit's entire candidate loop, recovery branch, and timeout
classification, differing only in npm args and precondition check. It is
now a thin wrapper delegating to the newly-exported runInstalledTreeAudit,
which shares runNpmAuditWithRetry with runPackageLockAudit -- one
implementation instead of two that could independently drift.

buildTimeoutKillError now reports attempt count and still surfaces
captured stderr from the last kill.

* chore(#4260): update changeset for retry/backoff scope

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

* test(#4260): budget for two sequential retry-audit calls, close coverage gaps

Two review passes on the retry/backoff commit found real gaps:

- TEST_TIMEOUT_MS budgeted only one retry-audit call's worst case (210s),
  but checkTreeAgainstBaseline makes two sequential calls (HEAD tree via
  auditProductionVulns, baseline tree via runPackageLockAudit) -- combined
  worst case is ~372s. If both genuinely exhausted retries, node:test's
  own timeout would fire first and mask buildTimeoutKillError's clear
  message, undercutting #4250's own fix in that edge case. Recomputed
  using the same backoff formula the production code uses, so it can't
  independently drift.

- buildTimeoutKillError's default-attempts(1) singular-phrasing branch had
  zero direct test coverage (nothing calls it with a single attempt
  anymore) -- a real mutation-testing risk. Added direct tests for both
  phrasing branches plus the no-error-object case.

- runInstalledTreeAudit's null-guard skip paths (missing package.json,
  missing node_modules) had no tests, unlike runPackageLockAudit's
  matching paths. Added for parity.

Observed on CI (several branches, all lanes): spawnSync npm ETIMEDOUT with
empty stdout; the empty string survived the recovery path and surfaced as
'SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input', hiding the captured error. The
recovery path now requires non-empty stdout, and an empty result throws with
the captured stdout/stderr/message so the actual error is on the record.
Root cause of the ETIMEDOUT itself is NOT diagnosed here — this change only
stops masking it.

1fe85cd43e chore(#4244): ESLint rules for the #4220 Windows dirname-walk / TMPDIR-triad bug class (#4246)
* fix(#4244): repoint TEMP/TMP alongside TMPDIR and fix the sweepProtectSet fixed-point walk

Repo-wide sweep (ahead of adding lint rules for these exact bug classes)
found both incident patterns still live and unfixed on `next`:

- scripts/run-tests.cjs's sweepProtectSet walk stopped on
  `cur !== runTempRoot && cur.length > 1` — a POSIX-only sentinel.
  win32 dirname('D:\') is a fixed point (length 3, never satisfies
  `> 1`... wait, it does satisfy length>1), so a selected file living
  outside runTempRoot (the common case) spins the walk forever on
  Windows. Extracted a pure, exported computeSweepProtectSet helper
  that terminates on dirname(cur) === cur instead, with in-process
  RuleTester-style coverage for both win32 and posix paths.

- tests/run-tests-temp-root.test.cjs's own #4020 regression test set
  only TMPDIR on its runNode(...) child env. Node's os.tmpdir() never
  reads TMPDIR on Windows (only TEMP, then TMP), so the redirect
  silently no-oped there — masked because Windows CI died in the
  dirname-walk hang above before ever reaching this test.

- tests/config-schema.property.test.cjs's fallow config-set test had
  the same TMPDIR-only pattern, direct process.env assignment this
  time, restored in its own finally block.

Origin: #4220 and its shared root cause #4020.

* feat(#4244): require-full-tmpdir-triad and no-unbounded-dirname-walk ESLint rules

Two custom local ESLint rules catch the #4220 / #4020 Windows CI hang bug
class at author time, joining the ADR-1703 DEFECT.WINDOWS-TEST-PORTABILITY
catalog. Neither eslint-plugin-unicorn nor eslint-plugin-n has a rule for
either shape.

- local/require-full-tmpdir-triad: flags a TMPDIR environment override
  (direct process.env.TMPDIR assignment, or a TMPDIR property in a
  spawn-like call's env: object literal) not accompanied by TEMP and TMP
  in the same scope. Node's os.tmpdir() never reads TMPDIR on Windows.
  Registered on tests/**/*.cjs, matching the require-userprofile-with-home
  precedent.

- local/no-unbounded-dirname-walk: flags a while/do-while loop reassigning
  from dirname() with no fixed-point termination guard
  (dirname(cur) !== cur, or path.parse(cur).root). path.dirname() is a
  no-op at the platform root, but the value differs by platform
  (win32 'D:\' is length 3, posix '/' is length 1), so a POSIX-shaped
  length/equality bound never fires on Windows. Registered on BOTH
  tests/**/*.cjs and scripts/**/*.cjs — the real #4020 bug lived in
  scripts/run-tests.cjs, not tests/.

Both rules join the zero-escape-hatch discipline already established for
this catalog (no bespoke comment marker; PROTECTED_RULES in
tests/portability-rule-disable-ban.test.cjs independently bans
eslint-disable of either). ADR-1703 and its two companion contributing
docs get an amendment documenting the mechanism, code examples, and the
repo-wide sweep (three live instances found and fixed in the prior
commit; no others found). CI test-scope selection updated so an edit to
either rule or to scripts/run-tests.cjs re-runs the right suites.

* fix(#4244): no-unbounded-dirname-walk must analyze a single-condition loop test too

checkWhile bailed out early unless node.test was a LogicalExpression,
so a single-condition loop -- while (cur !== root) { cur = dirname(cur); } --
was silently skipped and never reported. That is the EXACT minimal
shape of the original #4020/#4220 bug, and it is literally the shape
used by this rule's own shipped RuleTester fixtures (the "equality-only
bound" invalid cases), which were failing (0 errors reported, 1
expected) until this fix -- confirmed by running RuleTester directly
against both fixtures, not just via a passing test-runner exit code.

The conjunct-collection helper already handled a non-LogicalExpression
test correctly (it pushes a single node as the sole conjunct); only the
early-return gate needed to stop requiring a compound && / || test.

Verified: RuleTester run directly against both previously-broken
fixtures plus two new sanity cases (a guarded single-condition loop
stays valid; an unrelated single-condition loop stays silent), and a
fresh `npx eslint .` across the whole repo remains clean (no other
single-condition dirname-walk shape exists in the tree).

* fix(#4244): require-full-tmpdir-triad must recognize a destructured child_process call

isSpawnLikeCallee only recognized a MemberExpression callee
(child_process.spawnSync(...)) or a bare identifier in
ENV_LOCAL_HELPER_NAMES (runNode). A destructured import called bare --
const { spawnSync } = require('child_process'); spawnSync(...) -- has an
Identifier callee named "spawnSync", which matched neither branch, so
the whole env-literal check was skipped. gsd-test caught this: both
"invalid: child_process.spawnSync with TMPDIR-only env" cases in
tests/require-full-tmpdir-triad.rule.test.cjs were failing (0 errors
reported, 1 expected).

Widened the bare-identifier branch to also match any of the known
ENV_CHILD_PROCESS_METHODS names, matched by name only -- the same
lightweight convention this repo's other eslint-rules/*.cjs use (e.g.
no-hardcoded-tmp.cjs's isFsMethodCall), not full import data-flow
tracing.

Verified: RuleTester run directly against all 11 cases in
tests/require-full-tmpdir-triad.rule.test.cjs (not just the two that
were failing), all pass; a fresh npx eslint . and npm run lint:ci
across the whole repo remain clean.

* fix(#4244): correct a stale escape-hatch reference in a test comment

The comment on the "length comparison against another expression's
length" case referenced a "// allow-dirname-walk marker" that doesn't
exist -- the rule has zero comment-based escape hatches by design
(ADR-1703), and an earlier draft's marker mechanism was removed before
this branch's first commit. Spec-axis review caught the stale
reference. No behavior change; comment-only.

456136659d fix(#4220): terminate the Windows temp-sweep ancestor walk (and two bugs it unmasked) (#4245)
* fix(#4220): terminate the temp-sweep ancestor walk with a fixed-point check

scripts/run-tests.cjs's sweepProtectSet block walked each selected test
file's ancestor directories, stopping on `cur !== runTempRoot &&
cur.length > 1` — a POSIX-only sentinel. path.posix.dirname('/') === '/'
(length 1) correctly stops, but path.win32.dirname('C:\\') === 'C:\\'
(length 3) never satisfies the length check, so the walk spun forever on
Windows whenever a selected file lived outside runTempRoot (the common
case). This has hung every Windows CI shard since #4207.

Extract the walk into a pure, exported computeSweepProtectSet(selected,
runTempRoot, dirnameImpl) helper and replace the length sentinel with a
fixed-point check (stop when dirnameImpl(cur) === cur), which terminates
correctly on POSIX, Windows drive roots, and UNC roots alike with no
platform branch.

* fix(#4220): repoint TEMP/TMP alongside TMPDIR in run-tests-temp-root test child env

Node's os.tmpdir() on Windows never reads TMPDIR, only TEMP/TMP. The
test's runNode child-process env override only set TMPDIR, so on a
real Windows runner nested inside a run-tests invocation the child
inherited the outer process's already-repointed TEMP/TMP and its
mkdtempSync(os.tmpdir()) landed under the outer run's temp root
instead of the test's intended `outer` directory. This was masked on
gsd-test's benches and locally because Windows CI always died in the
#4220 infinite loop before reaching this test.

* fix(#4220): stop the ancestor walk from protecting the filesystem root itself

computeSweepProtectSet added `cur` to the protect set before checking
whether dirname(cur) === cur, so on the terminating iteration it
protected the filesystem root (posix `/`, and analogously a win32
drive root) instead of stopping before adding it. Caught by the
existing posix-parity regression assertion
(`!protectSet.has('/')`) on the linux-node24 gsd-test bench. Reorder
to compute the parent and check the fixed point before adding.

114dfcb739 fix(#4196): npm-audit gate blocks only NEW advisories, not pre-existing ones (#4214)
* fix(#4196): npm-audit gate blocks only NEW advisories, not pre-existing ones

The #3588 gate failed on ANY advisory in the production tree, regardless
of whether the PR/push actually introduced it. Because npm's advisory
database updates continuously and independently of repo state, a commit
could pass this gate at merge time and fail it minutes later on the
identical tree -- proven on PR #4188/dce40eeb6, which passed on all 3
OSes at 15:57-16:27 and failed the same assertion at 16:19-16:30 on the
unchanged commit, purely because GHSA-jqff-g426-hqxp was disclosed for
fast-uri in the interim.

scripts/npm-audit-baseline.cjs diffs the head tree's vulnerable-package
set against a resolved baseline (the PR's target branch, or the prior
commit on a direct push) and blocks only newly-introduced advisories.
When no baseline can be resolved, falls back to the original
zero-tolerance behavior -- fail-closed, never silently weaker.

* fix(#4196): pin the npm-audit baseline instead of using a drift-prone ref

Two orthogonal reviews found the same class of bug this repo already
fixed once for a different gate (see GSD_EMITTED_BASE's own incident
comment in test.yml): origin/<branch> is live under fetch-depth: 0 and
can advance mid-run, so resolveBaselineRef()'s fallback to
origin/${GITHUB_BASE_REF} could silently disagree with the tree
ci-rebase-check.cjs actually merged. Wire AUDIT_BASELINE_REF from the
workflow to github.event.pull_request.base.sha / github.event.before,
the same pinned values GSD_EMITTED_BASE already relies on.

Also: HEAD~1 assumed exactly one commit per push, which this repo's
allow_rebase_merge:true setting can violate (a rebase-merged PR lands
as several discrete commits in one push) -- github.event.before is
git's own record of the correct pre-push state, not an assumed offset.
HEAD~1 remains as a documented last-resort fallback for out-of-band
invocations (e.g. gsd-test) that don't set any of the above, alongside
a new local-branch fallback for gsd-test's local `next` (not
origin/next) sandbox shape.

gsd-tools quick-batch CLI family (rows 46-47). These reference modules/
exports that do not exist yet.

* feat(#3676): implement quick-batch dispatch core, updateBatchItems, and command router

Phase 4 of epic #3344 (ADR-1239 "Quick-batch binding") CORE decision
layer — CLI verbs and pure orchestration logic only; no workflow
markdown, no Agent()/git-worktree I/O.

- src/quick-batch-dispatch.cts (new): pure decision functions consumed
  by the (separate, follow-up) /gsd:quick-batch workflow markdown —
  parseQuickBatchArgs, computeEffectiveConcurrency, computeMergeOrder,
  computeSpawnPlan, routeVerificationOutcome, routeMergeOutcome,
  buildCleanupManifestEntry (the last parses caller-supplied plan text
  via the existing parsePlanDocument; no filesystem access).

- src/quick-batch.cts: adds updateBatchItems, resolving the design
  doc's Open Question 1 as ONE additive export on this module instead
  of the second, independent BATCH.json writer the design doc
  originally proposed. Reuses the same withPlanningLock transaction
  shape, computeWaves, and platformWriteSync call resumeBatch/
  completeQuickItem already use; fails closed without persisting on
  an unknown item, an unknown/self dependency, or an introduced cycle.

- src/quick-batch-command-router.cts (new): gsd-tools quick-batch CLI
  family, wired into HOST_COMMAND_ROUTERS (gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs)
  as a first-party always-on command (like /gsd:quick), not the opt-in
  capability-registry path graphify uses. Verbs: create/update/resume/
  complete (wrap quick-batch.cts) and effective-concurrency/
  merge-eligible/spawn-plan/verification-routing/merge-routing/
  cleanup-entry/parse-args (wrap quick-batch-dispatch.cts).

Design doc rows covered: 3-15, 22-24, 26-28, 30-39, 46-47. Property
rows 51-53. Rows covering workflow markdown / Agent() dispatch /
`git worktree` behavior (16-21, 25, 29, 40-45, 48-50) remain for the
follow-up markdown-authoring pass, per the phase brief's explicit
scope boundary.

* docs(#3676): register quick-batch-dispatch/command-router modules in bookkeeping surfaces

New-.cts-module ripple for the two Phase 4 modules (epic #3344,
ADR-1239 "Quick-batch binding"): .gitignore (compiled .cjs artifacts,
ADR-457 build-at-publish), eslint.config.mjs (lint the .cts source,
not the emitted .cjs), docs/INVENTORY.md + docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json
(via `node scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write`, after
`npm run build:lib`), and CONTEXT.md glossary entries for
"Quick-Batch Dispatch Core Module" and "Quick-Batch Command Router
Module", plus an update to the existing "Quick-Batch Core Primitives
Module" entry documenting the new updateBatchItems export.

* test(#3676): fold updateBatchItems tests into quick-batch.test.cjs (fix lint-test-file-count)

scripts/lint-test-file-count.cjs buckets any quick-batch-*.test.cjs
file under the quick-batch production module by longest-prefix match,
and that module is already at its 2-file cap (quick-batch.test.cjs +
quick-batch.property.test.cjs). The standalone
tests/quick-batch-update-items.test.cjs added in the prior commit
pushed it to 3 and failed `npm run lint:ci`. Fold its content into
quick-batch.test.cjs (append-only — no existing test in that file is
modified) and update the CONTEXT.md glossary reference to match.

Surfaced while re-running `GITHUB_BASE_REF=next npm run lint:ci` after
`npm ci` (this worktree previously had no local node_modules, which
also made gen-scripts-cli-exit/gen-hooks-cli-exit/gen-exit-code-*
unable to resolve typescript — resolved by npm ci, no code change
needed there). `npm run lint:ci` and
`npx tsc -p tsconfig.build.json --noEmit` are both green after this
fix.

* test(#3676): add failing tests for the quick-batch command/workflow markdown

Failing-first tests for Phase 4's markdown-authoring pass (epic #3344,
ADR-1239 "Quick-batch binding"): gsd-quick-batch-workflow.test.cjs
covers commands/gsd/quick-batch.md's frontmatter/objective/process,
gsd-core/workflows/quick-batch.md's byte-size boundary (row 49, ADR
1610 NEW_FILE_CAP) and step-fragment count, the isolation model
(rows 20-22), the executor single-writer invariant (row 18), merge
validation reusing the existing bounded primitive (row 25), the
optional research/plan-checker/verification leaves (rows 16,17,19,
30,31), planning-failure blocking execution (row 29), the submodule
guard (rows 36,44), and the new agents/gsd-planner.md quick-batch
mode (rows 13-15). gsd-quick-batch-quick-regression.test.cjs covers
row 48 (ordinary /gsd:quick stays byte-identical). Named
`gsd-quick-batch-*` (not `quick-batch-*`) so lint-test-file-count's
longest-prefix bucketing doesn't fold these markdown-only tests into
the already-capped quick-batch/quick-batch-dispatch/
quick-batch-command-router production-module buckets from the CORE
pass. These reference files that do not exist yet.

* feat(#3676): author the quick-batch command, workflow, and planner mode

Phase 4 markdown-authoring pass (epic #3344, ADR-1239 "Quick-batch
binding") — the orchestration layer that calls into Pass 1's CLI
verbs (src/quick-batch-command-router.cts).

- commands/gsd/quick-batch.md (new): frontmatter/objective/process,
  delegates argument validation to `quick-batch parse-args`
  (parseQuickBatchArgs) rather than re-deriving the grammar.

- gsd-core/workflows/quick-batch.md (new, 11843 bytes — under ADR
  1610's 32768-byte NEW_FILE_CAP for a brand-new file) + 9 lazy-loaded
  step fragments under gsd-core/workflows/quick-batch/steps/:
  resume-mode, batch-init, research-phase (flag:--research),
  planner-wave (+ nested plan-checker-loop when --validate),
  worktree-dispatch, merge-wave, verification-wave (flag:--validate),
  completion. Covers design doc rows 3-45: capacity/isolation
  resolution (reusing dispatch-isolation-gate.md verbatim), per-DAG-
  layer planning with full-task-catalog prompts and always-required
  depends_on/files_modified frontmatter, serialized worktree create/
  merge/cleanup via the existing worktree.cleanup-wave primitive,
  deterministic wave-order merging, verification routing
  (human_needed/gaps_found), the executor single-writer invariant,
  submodule fail-loud guard, and #1941 fork-base auto-degrade.

- agents/gsd-planner.md: additive new `load_mode_context` bullet for
  `**Mode:** quick-batch`, pointing at the new
  gsd-core/references/planner-quick-batch.md reference (documents the
  always-required depends_on/files_modified contract, reusing the
  existing frontmatter grammar — no new keys). Existing modes
  byte-identical, only a new bullet added.

- src/init.cts (+init-command-router.cts, +command-aliases.cts):
  cmdInitQuickBatch / `init.quick-batch` — model profiles,
  commit_docs, roadmap/planning existence checks, and the
  section_manifest field gating research-phase/verification-wave
  (reuses the existing flag:--research/flag:--validate WHEN_VOCABULARY
  atoms — no new atom needed).

Rows 16-21, 25, 29, 36, 38, 39, 44, 46-50 covered structurally by the
prior test(#3676) commit; rows 3-15, 22-24, 26-28, 30-35, 37, 40-43,
45 covered by construction (verb wiring, single-writer prompt
constraints, crash-window resume via unmodified Phase 3 primitives).

* docs(#3676): regenerate skills/inventory/section-manifest/install-tree; baseline the intentional word-splitting pattern

npm run regen:derived output for the new command/workflow/reference
(epic #3344, ADR-1239 "Quick-batch binding"):
- skills/gsd-quick-batch/SKILL.md (generated from commands/gsd/quick-batch.md)
- docs/INVENTORY.md rows for /gsd-quick-batch, quick-batch.md,
  planner-quick-batch.md, and the quick-batch-dispatch.cjs/
  quick-batch-command-router.cjs CLI-module rows' now-live
  `/gsd-quick-batch` cross-reference (was "(separate, follow-up)")
  + docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json (`node scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write`)
- gsd-core/workflows/section-manifest.json (`npm run gen:section-manifest`)
  — research-phase/verification-wave gsd:section entries for the new
  quick-batch workflow
- tests/fixtures/install-tree/*.json (`npm run gen:install-tree`) —
  the new command/workflow/skill/reference files now ship to every
  runtime

scripts/lint-workflow-shellcheck-baseline.json: 3 new entries for
gsd-core/workflows/quick-batch.md's intentional flag-token/$ARGUMENTS
word-splitting (SC2046/SC2086) — the same deliberate unquoted-optional-
flag pattern gsd-core/workflows/quick.md already carries baselined
(e.g. `$DISCUSS_PARAM $RESEARCH_PARAM` in quick.md's own Step 2);
quoting would break the intended "omit this arg when the flag is
false" splitting.

* fix(#3676): close prompt-injection and argv/glob-injection gaps in quick-batch leaf dispatch

Security review pass findings, both confirmed real:

1. HIGH — prompt injection, no boundaries. Every leaf-dispatch fragment
   interpolated the raw, attacker-influenced task ${description} (and
   the shared ${TASK_CATALOG_TABLE}, broadcasting every item's raw
   description into every planner's prompt in the layer) straight into
   Agent() prompt bodies with no boundary. Fixed by wrapping every such
   interpolation in a <security_context> + DATA_START/DATA_END
   boundary, matching the CONCRETE convention already implemented in
   this repo (agents/gsd-debug-session-manager.md, agents/gsd-debugger.md,
   gsd-core/workflows/debug.md) — commands/gsd/quick.md's own
   <security_notes> only asserts this convention in prose, so the
   debug-agent files are the real precedent followed here. Added a new
   <security_notes> block to commands/gsd/quick-batch.md (it had none)
   documenting both this fix and the one below.

2. MEDIUM — unquoted $ARGUMENTS -> argv/glob injection.
   gsd-core/workflows/quick-batch.md and commands/gsd/quick-batch.md both
   ran `gsd_run quick-batch parse-args --raw -- $ARGUMENTS` UNQUOTED,
   causing shell word-splitting and pathname expansion on raw task-list
   text before the parser ever saw it. Fixed at the source: added a
   `--text <string>` form to the `parse-args` verb
   (src/quick-batch-command-router.cts) that accepts the ENTIRE
   $ARGUMENTS as ONE quoted argv element and does the whitespace split
   itself, in Node — which is never glob-aware, unlike the shell.
   Both call sites now use `--text "$ARGUMENTS"`. The `-- <tokens>` form
   is kept for direct/test callers that already have a real argv array.

The SC2086 baseline entry added for the original unquoted line is now
stale (`node scripts/lint-workflow-shellcheck.cjs` no longer reports
it) and has been removed; the two SC2046 entries for the UNRELATED,
still-unquoted `$([ "$VALIDATE_MODE" = true ] && echo --validate)`-style
conditional-flag splitting remain — that line only ever expands to one
of a few known-safe literal strings (never raw user text), matching
quick.md's own already-baselined convention exactly.

Tests: quick-batch-command-router.test.cjs covers the new --text form
(token splitting, glob-shaped text passing through literally
unexpanded, whitespace-only input). gsd-quick-batch-workflow.test.cjs
asserts the DATA_START/DATA_END boundary on every leaf prompt
(research-phase/planner-wave/plan-checker-loop/verification-wave,
including the shared task catalog) and the quoted --text call sites.

* fix(#3676): strengthen test-depth gaps in rows 9, 18, 24, 34, 35

Spec review pass findings — the test matrix claimed "yes" coverage
these assertions did not actually support:

- Row 9 (--jobs 0/-1/abc hostile case): previously asserted rejection
  only. Added an end-to-end assertion (tests/quick-batch-command-router.test.cjs,
  committed alongside the security fix that touches the same file) that
  .planning/quick-batches/ is never created for any rejected value —
  createBatch is genuinely never reached.
- Row 18 (--resume <unknown-batch-id>): previously only exercised a
  hand-corrupted BATCH.json, never a genuinely nonexistent batch
  directory. Added the real nonexistent-id case (also in
  quick-batch-command-router.test.cjs).
- Row 24 (post-planning updateBatchItems racing a concurrent
  completeQuickItem for a different item, both through
  withPlanningLock): zero test existed. Added a property test
  (tests/quick-batch.property.test.cjs, appended — Phase 3's own file,
  no existing test touched) exercising both call orders and asserting
  no lost update in the final on-disk manifest — the same technique
  Phase 3's own row-15 lock-contention property test uses (sequential
  calls through the real lock; a working mutex makes any interleaving
  equivalent to some serial order, so this is the same claim a literal
  concurrent-thread test would make without OS-level threading).
- Row 34 (worktree preserved on merge_failed) and row 35 (undeclared-
  deletion detection): both were previously asserted only at the pure
  routeMergeOutcome level. Added tests/gsd-quick-batch-merge-integration.test.cjs
  using the SAME real-git-fixture pattern tests/worktree-safety.test.cjs
  already establishes for executeWorktreeWaveCleanupPlan (real repo,
  real worktree, a REAL merge conflict / a REAL file deletion diffed
  against declared_deletions) — asserting the actual worktree directory
  survives on disk, not just that a pure function returns a
  preserveWorktree:true field. Named gsd-quick-batch-* so lint-test-
  file-count's bucketing doesn't fold it into any capped module bucket.

Row 48 (/gsd:quick regression) intentionally left as-is per the
reviewer's own framing: the byte-identity claim is already
mechanically proven by the changed-path diff (git diff --name-only
empty on those two paths IS byte-identity), and a genuine execution-
level regression test would require actually running the workflow —
out of scope for this repo's unit-test model (no other quick.md
regression test in this repo does that either).

* docs(#3676): add the changeset and user-facing docs the command needed

Standards review pass findings — both HARD:

- Missing changeset. None of the 6 prior #3676 commits touched
  .changeset/*. /gsd-quick-batch is a new user-facing command;
  CLAUDE.md/CONTRIBUTING.md require one. Added
  .changeset/silly-rams-caper.md (type: Added, pr: 0 placeholder —
  backfilled after the PR opens, matching CLAUDE.md's own documented
  convention and Phase 3's own precedent, #4190's
  .changeset/mellow-yaks-squeak.md). Uses the docs-convention hyphen
  form `/gsd-quick-batch` throughout, never the source-artifact colon
  form (`scripts/lint-docs-command-form.cjs` confirms 0 violations;
  that check scans docs/**, not .changeset/, so it was never actually
  in scope for the fragment itself, but the wording still follows the
  doc convention for consistency, matching how Phase 3's own fragment
  named the not-yet-shipped command).
- Missing docs. Added docs/how-to/batch-quick-tasks.md (Diátaxis
  how-to, matching docs/how-to/handle-quick-and-fast-tasks.md's
  existing convention for /gsd-quick /gsd-fast) covering --jobs,
  --validate, --research, --resume, --file, the capacity/isolation
  interaction, and resume/failure recovery. Cross-linked from
  docs/README.md's how-to index and from handle-quick-and-fast-tasks.md's
  own "Related" section. Added a /gsd-quick-batch section to
  docs/COMMANDS.md (same table format as the existing /gsd-quick
  entry) and docs/features/quick-batch.md (REQ-QB-01..12, same
  frontmatter shape as docs/features/quick-mode.md) — regenerated
  docs/FEATURES.md (179 features) and skills/gsd-quick-batch/SKILL.md
  via the standard generators.

* fix(#3676): close docs-parity, attribution, and generated-registry gaps gsd-test caught

gsd-test's real run against 155e8975b3 found 43 failures, all rooted in
this phase's own new command/workflow never being registered across
~10 independent generated/hand-maintained registries this repo keeps
in parity by convention. Root-caused each, no test weakened or
special-cased.

- help.md ↔ commands/gsd/ bidirectional parity (docs-parity-live-
  registry.test.cjs): added a /gsd:quick-batch entry to
  gsd-core/workflows/help/modes/full.md (the real help.md content;
  gsd-core/workflows/help.md is a thin dispatcher) documenting every
  flag (--file/--jobs/--validate/--research/--resume), matching the
  existing /gsd:quick entry's format.

- gen-section-manifest.test.cjs: quick-batch.md's
  `gsd_run query init.quick-batch` invocation used inline
  `$([ ... ] && echo --flag)` substitutions, which never satisfy the
  test's exact-whitespace-token / assigned-variable detection (the
  trailing `))` glued onto `--research` in the compound substitution
  broke the "exact token" match). Rewrote to the same
  VALIDATE_PARAM/RESEARCH_PARAM two-line pattern
  gsd-core/workflows/quick.md's own Step 2 already uses.

- runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs: the 8 quick-batch/steps/*.md
  fragments that call gsd_run each needed their OWN embedded copy of
  the canonical shim preamble (every workflow .md that calls gsd_run
  carries its own copy — reading one file does not persist shell state
  into another). Ran `node scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs`, which
  inserted it before each file's first gsd_run call.
  plan-checker-loop.md correctly has none — it never calls gsd_run
  directly.

- Namespace routing (skill-manifest.test.cjs, install-nested-
  layout.test.cjs, runtime-artifact-layout-surface.test.cjs): added
  `quick-batch` to commands/gsd/ns-workflow.md's `requires:` array and
  routing table (same namespace `quick` already routes through), and
  to src/clusters.cts's `utility` cluster (same cluster `quick`
  already belongs to). Verified by hand-running installRuntimeArtifacts
  + applySurface for augment/cline against a real temp install: exactly
  6 top-level gsd-ns-* router dirs, gsd-quick-batch correctly nested
  under gsd-ns-workflow/skills/, never re-flattened.

- mcp-server-catalog.test.cjs: hardcoded command count 71 -> 72 (a
  brand-new command is a real count change, not a bug this test should
  hide).

- model-omit-when-inherit-guard.test.cjs: added the canonical
  `<!-- #2517 model-omit-on-inherit -->` marker block to
  gsd-core/workflows/quick-batch.md (every leaf dispatch — planner/
  researcher/checker/executor/verifier — lives in a steps/ fragment,
  read combined with the host by this test's own readWorkflowCombined,
  same as quick.md's own research-phase.md carries it for its gated
  section). Also fixed a genuine pre-existing inconsistency in the
  test's own "#2711: the guarded set is derived from dispatch sites"
  check: its `nonDispatching` computation read the BARE host file while
  `derived` (the set it's checked against) reads the combined
  host+steps content — inconsistent with that same test file's own
  #2994 doc comment explaining why the combined read is necessary.
  quick-batch.md is the first workflow whose EVERY model="{...}"
  dispatch site lives in a mandatory (never gated) steps/ fragment —
  extracted to stay under ADR-1610's tighter NEW_FILE_CAP for a
  brand-new file — which is what exposed the mismatch. Fixed by using
  the same readWorkflowCombined read in both places.

- skill-frontmatter-contract.test.cjs: shortened
  commands/gsd/quick-batch.md's frontmatter `description` from 107 to
  91 chars (<=100 budget), and added `quick-batch.md` to the hand-
  maintained KNOWN_SKILLS consolidation allowlist with a #3676
  justification comment (a genuinely new first-party command, not a
  consolidation of an existing skill).

- workflow-fragments-emission.install.test.cjs: added `quick-batch.md`
  to the hand-maintained MARKED_WORKFLOWS set (composeWorkflow is
  deliberately NOT a no-op for it — its research-phase/verification-
  wave sections are gated).

- Regenerated all downstream artifacts (npm run build:lib && npm run
  regen:derived && npm run gen:plugin-skills -- --write && npm run
  gen:features -- --write): skills/gsd-quick-batch/SKILL.md,
  skills/gsd-ns-workflow/SKILL.md, install-tree fixtures for
  augment/cline/hermes/qwen/trae/zcode.

- emitted-attribution.test.cjs: agents/gsd-planner.md's #3676 addition
  (one new `load_mode_context` bullet pointing at the new
  gsd-core/references/planner-quick-batch.md reference) grew the file
  124 bytes without an acknowledgment trailer. Acknowledged below —
  the growth is the deliberate, additive, single-bullet change from
  the earlier feat(#3676) commit, not drift.

Verified: npm run build:lib clean, npx tsc -p tsconfig.build.json
--noEmit clean, GITHUB_BASE_REF=next npm run lint:ci fully green
(includes lint-workflow-shellcheck, lint-test-file-count,
lint-docs-command-form). The deep install/spawn/registry tests gsd-test
actually runs (docs-parity-live-registry, gen-section-manifest,
runtime-launcher-parity, install-nested-layout,
runtime-artifact-layout-surface, skill-manifest, skill-frontmatter-
contract, mcp-server-catalog, model-omit-when-inherit-guard,
workflow-fragments-emission) are not part of lint:ci — each fix above
was independently verified by hand-invoking the exact production
function the failing test calls (installRuntimeArtifacts, applySurface,
composeWorkflow, the CLUSTERS union, the section-manifest forwarding
regex) against the real repo tree and confirming the expected shape.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-planner.md — additive #3676 quick-batch mode bullet in load_mode_context (one new line pointing at gsd-core/references/planner-quick-batch.md); not drift.

* fix(#3676): trim the /gsd:quick-batch help.md entry to fit the LARGE tier line budget

skill-frontmatter-contract.test.cjs's "feature #3039: tiered help —
size budgets" enforces a SEPARATE line-count ceiling for
gsd-core/workflows/help/modes/full.md (FULL_BUDGET = 844 lines,
tighten-only ratchet, scripts/lib/allowlist-ratchet.cjs's
assertTightCeiling) — independent of the skill-frontmatter description-
length budget and consolidation allowlist I touched in the prior round;
those are unrelated checks in the same test FILE, not the same check.

Root cause: the /gsd:quick-batch entry I added to full.md in the
docs-parity fix round was 17 lines, pushing the file from 834 to 851
lines — 7 over the 844 ceiling. Condensed the entry (merged the
per-flag bullet list into one dense "Flags:" line, dropped from 3
Usage examples to 1) to 844 lines exactly — at the ceiling with zero
slack, which assertTightCeiling accepts (it only fails on
actualMax > ceiling, or on slack > grace when the ceiling is too
LOOSE — zero slack triggers neither).

Verified after trimming: full.md still contains a live /gsd:quick-batch
reference (bidirectional parity) and all 5 argument-hint flags
(--jobs/--validate/--research/--resume/--file) still appear as literal
tokens (docs-parity-live-registry.test.cjs's own flag-coverage check,
re-run by hand against the trimmed content).

Verified: npm run build:lib clean, npx tsc -p tsconfig.build.json
--noEmit clean, GITHUB_BASE_REF=next npm run lint:ci fully green.

* docs(#3676): backfill changeset pr number to 4212

Follow-up to fix(#3676) commits — .changeset/silly-rams-caper.md's
pr:0 placeholder backfilled with the real PR number now that
gh api POST /pulls has returned it (#4212). Matches CLAUDE.md's PR
Number Handling convention and Phase 3's own #4190 precedent
(708c5a3f8c). Doc-only (root-level .changeset/*.md fragment), exempt
from a fresh gsd-test run per pre-pr-gate.sh's DOC_ONLY_RE.

* fix(#3676): resolve prompt-injection-scan false positive on test fixture

tests/quick-batch.test.cjs:232's row 11b regression proves the task-list
parser carries a prompt-injection-shaped task description through
createBatch as inert data, never interpreted. The fixture has to be a
real "ignore all previous instructions..." phrase or the test asserts
nothing, but the full-file --diff scan flagged it once unrelated edits
in the same file pulled it into the changed-file set.

Add the file to prompt-injection-scan.sh's ALLOWLIST, matching the
sanctioned, precedented exemption already used for other legitimate
security-regression fixtures (tests/windsurf-conversion.test.cjs,
tests/health-validation.test.cjs, tests/continuation-grammar-parity.test.cjs)
per DEFECT.PROMPT-INJECTION-SCAN-COLLISION.

858bb89769 ci(#4196): exempt dependabot[bot] from issue-link, title, and unsolicited-PR gates (#4203)
Dependabot has no mechanism to link a PR it opens to a repo issue -- its
alerts live in the Security tab, not as issues -- so require-issue-link,
pr-title-validator, and auto-close-unsolicited-prs all rejected its PRs
by design (confirmed live on #4193: auto-closed for "no pre-approved
issue", then flagged again by the title gate on reopen). Exempt by
authenticated author login (github.event.pull_request.user.login /
context.payload.pull_request.user.login), which GitHub attributes and a
crafted title or branch name cannot forge -- scoped narrowly to
dependabot[bot] only, no other author gets this treatment.

2131fe13f3 enhance(#3464): exec() detection widening, citation-debt cleanup — Phase 8 (#4171)
* feat(#3464): widen no-source-grep to detect regex.exec() on tracked text

Adds an execCall kind alongside the existing regexTest detection --
regex.exec(tracked) was invisible to the rule while regex.test(tracked)
was already caught, despite both reading a source-derived string through
a regex. Measured: 4 previously-invisible sites across 2 files.

* test(#3464): migrate 4 sites newly flagged by the exec() widening

docs-hooks-table-parity.test.cjs's three regex-extraction loops are
site-scoped marked (source-text-is-the-product) -- the dynamic
preToolEvent/postToolEvent dialect branching they mirror is explicitly
documented as not statically parseable, so a literal-pattern mirror is
the practical minimum-cost check.

no-bare-gsd-tools-command-position.test.cjs's readRouterVerbs() now
requires HOST_COMMAND_ROUTERS directly instead of regex-walking
gsd-tools.cjs's source text -- the same accessor three other suites
already use.

* fix(#3464): pay down 6 grandfathered uncited allow-test-rule markers

Two were genuinely load-bearing (suppressing a real detected violation)
and just needed a citation added -- phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs,
runtime-name-policy.test.cjs, both now (#3464).

Four were dead-weight file-header markers suppressing nothing -- each
file's real effective sites are covered by separate, already-cited
markers elsewhere in the same file. Deleted outright rather than cited,
per Phase 1's own precedent (remove non-load-bearing markers instead of
grandfathering them forever) -- codex-config.test.cjs (two copies),
gsd-check-update-worker-platform-gate.test.cjs, orphaned-hooks.test.cjs,
settings-jsonc.test.cjs.

allowlist.json: 134 -> 128 entries.

* chore(#3464): re-baseline effective-exemption ceiling to 84

The exec() widening's 3 newly-marked sites are now suppressed and
counted; ceiling rises 81 -> 84, the exact measured high-water mark.

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

* fix(#3464): correct citation and restore a wrongly-deleted marker

Two review corrections, both found by the orthogonal review pass:

- docs-hooks-table-parity.test.cjs's 3 new exec() markers cited #3464
  (mechanically "the phase that widened the rule") when the file's own
  established, correct reference is #3839 (the issue this whole test
  exists to enforce, already cited in its file header) -- fixed to match.

- gsd-check-update-worker-platform-gate.test.cjs's deleted file-header
  marker was NOT dead weight: its codeOnly() helper wraps readFileSync
  and is called inline as an assert argument, a genuine source-grep
  pattern on real .cjs/.js source that the rule cannot currently see
  (helper-function indirection is a distinct blind spot from anything
  Phase 7/8 measured) -- CONTRIBUTING.md is explicit that "unverified"
  is not the same as "vestigial." Restored, site-scoped this time
  (directly above codeOnly(), not as an inert file-header comment) and
  cited (#3103, the issue the file's own docstring already references).

codex-config.test.cjs's two deletions and orphaned-hooks.test.cjs's /
settings-jsonc.test.cjs's deletions were independently re-verified and
stand: their flagged lines read generated .toml/.json OUTPUT, not
source, or have no residual pattern at all.

9b77320580 fix(#4076): add missing gsd-hook-version header to gsd-node-runner.sh (#4092)
* fix(#4076): add missing gsd-hook-version header to gsd-node-runner.sh

gsd-node-runner.sh was registered in MANAGED_HOOKS but shipped without a
gsd-hook-version header, so gsd-check-update-worker.js always classified it
as 'definitely stale' (a missing header is indistinguishable from a
pre-version-tracking file). Every install on an otherwise up-to-date
version showed a permanent, unclearable '⚠ stale hooks — run /gsd-update'
warning naming this one file.

Root cause: the build-hooks.js comment claimed the file is 'not a
registered hook' and 'staged verbatim — no templating', but it IS in
MANAGED_HOOKS (managed-hooks-registry.cjs:34) and install.js already
stamps {{GSD_VERSION}} into every .sh hook unconditionally, gsd-node-runner.sh
included. The comment contradicted both the registry and the installer's
actual behavior, and the header line itself was simply never added.

Fix: add the header (matching every other managed .sh hook's format) and
correct the comment so it no longer asserts the opposite of what the
registry and installer actually do.

Adds a regression test that iterates every MANAGED_HOOKS entry and asserts
it carries a header matching the worker's own detection regex, so a future
hook added to the registry without one fails CI instead of shipping
silently.

Fixes #4076

* chore(#4076): add changeset fragment for PR #4092

* fix(#4076): address review nits — drop unneeded exemption, fix blank line

Per @trek-e's review on #4092:
- tests/managed-hooks.test.cjs:96: the readFileSync call uses a loop
  variable (entry-derived hookPath), not a literal path, so
  local/no-source-grep's static literal-path detector never flags it —
  the allow-test-rule exemption comment was unnecessary. Replaced with a
  plain note explaining the source-read rationale.
- tests/managed-hooks.test.cjs:121-122: dropped a stray extra blank line
  before the bug #2136 section divider.

5c7243e54b fix(#3995): derive the review diff base from the phase directory (#4181)
* test(#3995): diff base keys on the phase directory, not commit subjects

All three derivation sites (Tier 3, spawn_reviewer, fallow pre-pass)
must anchor on the phase directory's first commit; the milestone-blind
repro (an archived milestone's same-numbered phase commit capturing
the base) is the failing-first row. #3191/#3503 rows reworked to the
directory-anchor contract; T6 docs-parity forbids any remaining
phase-scope message-grep site.

* fix(#3995): derive the review diff base from the phase directory

A phase number is unique within a milestone, not a repository; the
message grep had no milestone bound and tail -1 deliberately selected
the oldest same-numbered subject, dragging archived milestones phases
into the scope (7 files to 3388 plus the >50 depth downgrade). All
three lockstep sites now anchor on the first commit that added anything
under the phase own directory — the same anchor class
git-base-branch phaseStartCommit uses. ShellCheck baseline gains the
escaped fragment shifted parse signature.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: code-review.md — phase-directory anchor replaces the message-grep derivation at both sites (#3995)

f16ff7d1b3 enhance(#3545): widen no-source-grep with fold+hooks, migrate 76 sites (#4161)
* feat(#3545): widen no-source-grep with one-hop path-fold and hooks dir

Resolve a readFileSync() path argument that is a bare Identifier one hop
back to its VariableDeclarator initializer before classification, and
recognize `hooks` as a source directory alongside bin/lib/gsd-core/src.

Measured (epic #3464 phase 7): fold+hooks together newly flag 76
unsuppressed sites across 18 files that were previously invisible to
identifier-indirected or hooks/-rooted source reads. Neither widening
alone is sufficient — hooks-only surfaces 0 new sites, confirming #3520's
prior finding that the identifier-indirection gap must close first.

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

* test(#3545): migrate 76 sites newly flagged by the fold+hooks widening

Per-site classification: rewrite behaviorally (require() the real module,
assert on its actual exported behavior) wherever the read was a proxy for
code behavior; add a site-scoped `// allow-test-rule: <reason> (#3545)`
marker only where the raw source text genuinely is the product under test
(codex-config.test.cjs's adapter-header-contract checks, install.js
structural-wiring guards with no exported symbol, AST-parse fixture
inputs, etc.) — each marker cites an existing repo-sanctioned category
from CONTRIBUTING.md's allow-test-rule exception table.

Also converts two try/finally test bodies (introduced during this same
migration) to the required t.after() cleanup pattern per CONTRIBUTING.md.

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

* chore(#3545): re-baseline effective-exemption ceiling to 81

The fold+hooks widening's own newly-detected sites are now suppressed by
site-scoped markers, moving them from invisible into the tightly-ratcheted
effective-exemption count. Ceiling rises from 10 to 81 (the exact measured
high-water mark, grace unchanged at 2) — a deliberate, measured re-baseline
per the widening working as intended, not an ordinary ceiling bump.

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

* fix(#3545): use canonical allow-test-rule category tokens

4 markers added during migration cited an issue ref correctly but didn't
use one of CONTRIBUTING.md's seven recognized category tokens, unlike
every other marker in this change. Cosmetic only — same suppression
lines, same effective/live counts (81/81, 0 live).

4dfc46bbe7 enhance(#3348): add a context-drift pre-check gate to plan-phase (#4147)
* test(#3348): add failing-first coverage for the context-drift gate

* feat(#3348): add context-drift pre-check gate for plan-phase

Compares each phase's *-RESEARCH.md/*-PATTERNS.md/*-VALIDATION.md/*-SPEC.md
effective last-changed time (git commit time, falling back to mtime for
uncommitted edits) against *-CONTEXT.md's, so plan-phase no longer silently
reuses an upstream artifact that predates a decision added to CONTEXT.md
after that artifact was derived from it. Deterministic, no model call.

New `gsd_run verify context-drift <phase>` command, sibling to the existing
verify.codebase-drift/verify.schema-drift gates in the drift capability.
Warn-only by default (workflow.context_drift_precheck), with an opt-in
workflow.context_drift_action: block escape hatch. Wired at plan:pre in
plan-phase.md, before both the RESEARCH.md and PATTERNS.md reuse decisions.

* fix(#3348): address code-review findings — raw-text-match, stale comment, import placement, duplicated phase resolution

* fix(#3859): pin the real commit's diff.ignoreSubmodules to match the empty-diff probe

The #3859 empty-diff guard decides whether a submodule bump would land using
`--ignore-submodules=dirty`, overriding the caller's `diff.ignoreSubmodules`
config. The real `git commit -- <paths>` that follows was never given the
same override, so under a bare `diff.ignoreSubmodules=all` repo config the
two calculations disagree: driven on git 2.39.5 (Debian bookworm, the
linux-node24 test-matrix image), the guard correctly stands aside but the
scoped commit itself then silently fails (exit 1, no error text) for a
gitlink bump it had just confirmed would be recorded, surfacing as
commit_failed instead of committed:true.

Pin `-c diff.ignoreSubmodules=dirty` onto the scoped commit call too, so the
probe and the commit it protects can never diverge. Harmless when no
submodule path is involved (driven: identical outcome on an ordinary scoped
file, with and without the flag).

* fix(#3348): guard resolvePhaseDirByToken's exact-match fallback against path traversal

* fix(#3348): retarget phase-enumeration-drift exemption to the consolidated resolvePhaseDirByToken helper

cmdVerifySchemaDrift's inline readdirSync was already function-scoped-exempt
in lint-phase-enumeration-drift.cjs as a single-phase LOOKUP (not a
current-milestone enumeration). This PR's refactor pass lifted that block
into a shared helper, resolvePhaseDirByToken, also used by the new
cmdVerifyContextDrift — the guard tracks exemptions by enclosing function
name, so the readdirSync now lives in an unexempted function and started
firing. Move the exemption to resolvePhaseDirByToken (same written reason,
now covering both callers) instead of migrating to listAllPhaseDirs, which
would introduce two real behavior deltas here: it catches readdirSync
failures internally (old code let them throw) and sorts results by phase
number before matchPhaseDirs picks matches[0] (old code used raw,
OS-dependent readdirSync order).

* fix(#3348): satisfy lint:ci — slash form, capability registry regen

- docs/features/context-drift-gate.md used the deprecated /gsd: colon
  form; docs are never passed through the install-time slash-form
  converters, so lint-docs-command-form requires the hyphen form.
  Regenerated docs/FEATURES.md from the corrected fragment.
- Regenerated gsd-core/bin/lib/capability-registry.cjs after editing
  capabilities/drift/capability.json (lint:generated-sync).

* fix(#3859): pin the real commit's diff.ignoreSubmodules via env, not argv -c

The prior fix pinned `-c diff.ignoreSubmodules=dirty` onto the scoped commit's
argv via `commitArgs.unshift(...)`. `-c key=val` must precede the `commit`
subcommand, so this shifted `commitArgs[0]` from `'commit'` to `'-c'` for
every scoped commit call, breaking 17 position-based assertions in the
commit-files pathspec regression suite that read `a[0] === 'commit'` to find
the commit invocation among recorded git calls.

`execGit` already accepts an `env` option merged onto `process.env` before
spawning. Git honors `GIT_CONFIG_COUNT`/`GIT_CONFIG_KEY_0`/`GIT_CONFIG_VALUE_0`
as a per-invocation config override functionally identical to `-c key=val`,
expressed via env instead of argv. Passing that env alongside the existing
commitArgs (still `['commit', ..., '--', ...stagedPaths]`, argv unchanged)
fixes the real commit's effective diff.ignoreSubmodules to match the
empty-diff guard's probe without moving anything in argv position 0. Scoped
to exactly the canScope branch, matching the probe's own preconditions and
leaving no behavior change for commits the probe never evaluated.

No test file changes needed — the 17 previously-failing assertions test
argv[0] against the array passed into execGit, which never changes.

* fix(#3348): register verify-context-drift in the check subcommand router

The drift capability's new plan:pre gate declares check.query
"verify.context-drift", which normalizes to `check verify-context-drift`,
but no such subcommand was routed — phase6-capstone-conformance's
uniform-block-field test failed with "Unknown check subcommand" for
every declared gate query.

* fix(#3348): extend #1592's exact-key-list snapshot for the new context-drift config keys

tests/capability-registry.test.cjs asserted an exact, hardcoded snapshot
of the drift capability's config keys. #3348 legitimately adds two new
keys (workflow.context_drift_precheck, workflow.context_drift_action)
for its own plan:pre context-drift gate — extend the expected set
(and clarify the assertion message) without weakening the test's
exactness.

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

* fix(#3348): reconcile E2's exemption-migration pin with the resolvePhaseDirByToken extraction

#3348 (an earlier commit on this branch, e4b80ad81) extracted
cmdVerifySchemaDrift's inline phasesDir readdirSync/matchPhaseDirs block
into the shared resolvePhaseDirByToken helper (also used by the new
cmdVerifyContextDrift), and retargeted lint-phase-enumeration-drift.cjs's
function-scoped exemption from cmdVerifySchemaDrift to
resolvePhaseDirByToken accordingly — cmdVerifySchemaDrift no longer
contains a line the guard's detectors match, so it needs no exemption.

tests/phase-locator.test.cjs's E2 test still pinned the exemption to the
old name (cmdVerifySchemaDrift), unaware of the migration. Update E2 to
match the same "migrated call site's exemption must move, not
duplicate" pattern the test already applies to cmdRoadmapAnalyze and
cmdInitMilestoneOp just below it: drop cmdVerifySchemaDrift from the
still-exempt list and add symmetric assertions that it no longer
carries the exemption while resolvePhaseDirByToken now does.

* fix(#3348): fix two self-contradicting/nondeterministic tests in context-drift.test.cjs

'always exits 0 (query command contract)' included the no-phase-arg
case, which contradicts the file's own earlier
'errors with usage message on missing phase arg' test (that case
legitimately exits 1 via the Usage error) — drop it from the
always-exits-0 cases.

'degrades to mtime comparison outside a git repo' and '...in a repo
with no commits' relied on real wall-clock ordering between two
back-to-back writeFileSync calls to prove CONTEXT.md is newer than
RESEARCH.md; on a fast filesystem both can land in the same mtime
tick, producing a tie that computeContextDrift's strict `<` correctly
treats as not-stale, so stale_artifacts comes back empty. Make both
tests deterministic via explicit fs.utimesSync instead of relying on
timing (CONTRIBUTING.md: never assert elapsed wall-clock time).

* fix(#3348): add context_drift_precheck:false to the plan:pre all-off fixture

The "all plan:pre when-keys false" fixture explicitly disables every
known workflow.* plan:pre toggle, but didn't yet know about the new
workflow.context_drift_precheck key (defaults to true), so the new
drift context-drift gate stayed active and broke the
empty-activeHooks assertion.

b848b23861 feat(#3778): dispatch plan:pre planner contributions before quick planning (#3934)
* feat(#3778): dispatch plan:pre planner contributions in quick.md

- Add plan:pre capability gate to quick.md Step 5, mirroring plan-phase.md's
  existing render + generic contribution dispatch pattern
- Inject planner-targeted contribution fragments into the planner prompt,
  after AGENT_SKILLS_PLANNER, matching D-08 ordering
- Add tests/quick-plan-pre-capabilities.test.cjs proving the dispatch is
  generic (D-01) via real scanWiredKinds/coveredKindsInRegion functions
- Record quick.md's byte-growth rationale in this commit trailer for every
  gsd-core-verbatim runtime

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: quick.md — #3778: Step 5 (Spawn planner, quick mode) gains a `plan:pre` capability gate, mirroring `plan-phase.md:420-424` and `:797`. This is shipped shell and prose read by an agent at runtime, not compiled, so the reasoning has to travel with the feature rather than being deferred to a reference doc: (1) the dispatch paragraph phrases role routing possessively ("the role each entry's `into` names") rather than as an `into ==` equality, because `coveredKindsInRegion` (scripts/gen-loop-host-contract.cjs) voids a segment's `kind == "contribution"` coverage credit when a role or capability equality shares that same segment — an equality phrasing here would silently fail the generic-dispatch proof required by D-01; (2) `activeHooks` is read directly in-context from `PLAN_PRE_HOOKS_JSON`/`HOOKS_JSON` and the unfiltered `rendered` digest is explicitly forbidden from being pasted, because `rendered` carries every kind and role — including non-planner-targeted contributions such as a `into: "checker"` twin — and pasting it would leak checker-scoped guidance into the planner's prompt (T-01-02 in the threat model); (3) the injection block sits inside `<planning_context>` AFTER `${AGENT_SKILLS_PLANNER}` and after the Project skills line, matching plan-phase's `:741` -> `:797` ordering (D-08), so agent-skills content is never shadowed by capability-contributed prose. No prose was moved into an eagerly `@`-imported reference to shrink the measured file — @gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md already existed before this change and is deferred to for the generic contract only, exactly as plan-phase.md already does.

* test(#3778): expand quick.md plan:pre dispatch coverage to all nine locked conditions

Extend tests/quick-plan-pre-capabilities.test.cjs with D-02 (silent
omit-when-empty), D-03 (single shared planner spawn), D-06 (array-order
dispatch phrasing), D-07 (planner-only into filter), and D-08 (render call
< agent-skills placeholder < injection block < spawn ordering) assertions,
all extracted via a brace-bounded slice anchored on the literal injection
instruction rather than a naive first-brace scan (${AGENT_SKILLS_PLANNER}
and the surrounding prompt's ${VALIDATE_MODE ? ...} ternaries also contain
brace pairs).

Add a capability-registry.test.cjs describe block proving the registry-wide
D-07 exclusion is meaningful: at least one plan:pre contribution exists,
every plan:pre contribution has a non-empty into/fragment.inline, and the
registry as a whole carries at least one non-planner-into contribution.

Add a loop-host-contract.test.cjs regression pin for D-09: quick.md stays
absent from STEP_WORKFLOWS, parseLoopHostBlock still throws on quick.md's
real content, and buildContract() still yields exactly 5 entries.

Verified red-without-Task-1 by temporarily reverting quick.md to its
pre-f30de9cc content and re-running these three suites (D-08 failed as
expected), then restored via git checkout and re-confirmed green.

* docs(#3778): note quick planning also renders plan:pre in the tutorial

The tutorial's Step 6 named only /gsd-plan-phase as the trigger for the
plan:pre hook set. Since quick.md now dispatches the same hook set
(f30de9cc), the sentence understated the capability's real reach.

* feat(#3778): add changeset fragment

* chore(#3778): reference the upstream issue in the changeset fragment

The fragment was the only one of 81 in .changeset/ without a trailing
(#NNNN) reference or a bold lead-in. serializeChangelog auto-appends
only the pr: field, so the rendered CHANGELOG entry carried no link
back to issue #3778.

* test(#3778): scope the D-07 registry assertion to what it actually proves

The registry-wide non-planner check was named "D-07 exclusion is
meaningful", which overclaims: it proves only that `into` takes
non-planner values somewhere in the registry, not that anything is
excluded at plan:pre. Every plan:pre contribution is currently
into: "planner", so the filter is a forward-looking safeguard there.

Narrowing the assertion to plan:pre (as review suggested) would fail
today. Asserting plan:pre is all-planner would be brittle — it would
break the day a legitimate non-planner plan:pre contribution lands,
which is exactly when the safeguard starts doing work. So the
assertion is unchanged and only the name and comment are corrected.

* chore(#3778): point the changeset fragment at the upstream PR

The fragment carried pr: 3, the fork staging PR. changeset lint derives
the real PR number from GITHUB_EVENT_PATH, so on the upstream PR that
would read as pr-field drift. Point it at open-gsd/gsd-core#3934.

* test(loop-host): require Quick auxiliary registration

* fix(#3778): preserve contributions in Quick plan revisions

eca9c2b590 fix(#4112): portable grep in workflow markdown + submodule commit fix under diff.ignoreSubmodules (#4149)
* fix(#4112): ban GNU-only grep -P in workflow markdown to prevent macOS regressions

Add scripts/lint-portable-grep.cjs, wire it into lint:ci, and add
tests/lint-portable-grep.test.cjs. The #4112 shell-syntax fix newly exposed
a pre-existing grep -oP invocation that silently resolves to "" on stock
macOS's BSD grep (no -P support). This ratchet catches the same class of
GNU-coreutils assumption before it merges, mirroring lint-portable-timeout.cjs.

* fix(#4112): drop unneeded ls -l long-format that broke basename/dirname extraction

The previous commit on this branch replaced grep -oP 'phases/\K[^/]+'
(GNU-only, silently fails on macOS's BSD grep) with
basename "$(dirname "$phase")"), but left ls -lt (long format, -l) in
place. -l output is a full detail line (permissions, owner, size, date,
path), not a bare path, so dirname on that string throws "illegal
option -- r" (BSD) / errors under GNU coreutils too -- the extraction
never produced a usable value, on any platform. -l was never needed
here; only mtime-sort plus the bare path mattered. Dropping it to
ls -t restores one-bare-path-per-line output, which basename/dirname
actually requires. Confirmed on gsd-test's Linux bench: the #4112
regression test (tests/pause-work-context-detection.test.cjs) now
passes phase, spike, and sketch resolution.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: pause-work.md — portability fix (#4112): dropping grep -oP for a portable basename/dirname extraction is a few characters longer per line; no functional growth beyond the fix.
Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: sync-skills.md — portability fix (#4112): replacing grep -oP '(?<=--from )\S+' with a portable sed -E capture-group equivalent (no PCRE lookbehind available) is a longer expression; growth is the direct cost of the fix, not new functionality.

* fix(#3859): pin git commit itself against diff.ignoreSubmodules=all, not just the probe

git 2.39.x (the exact version on the CI Linux bench) resolves a
pathspec-scoped `git commit -- <path>` through the same
diff.ignoreSubmodules-gated machinery as `git diff`, so a genuinely
bumped submodule gitlink was silently dropped by the real commit even
though the #3859 empty-diff probe correctly saw the change. The commit
was misclassified as generic commit_failed because git's refusal text
never says "nothing to commit". Prefix the pathspec-scoped commit
invocation with -c diff.ignoreSubmodules=dirty, the same override the
probe already carries, so the two can no longer disagree. Confirmed on
git 2.50.1 (no-op) and git 2.39.5 via the actual gsd-tester-linux
v1.8.0-node24 bench image (turns the silent refusal into a commit).

* fix(#3859): carry the diff.ignoreSubmodules override via env, not argv

The prior commit prepended `-c diff.ignoreSubmodules=dirty` to the real
commit's argv, which shifted `commitArgs[0]` off `'commit'` and broke
several pre-existing #3859 regression tests
(tests/commit-files-pathspec.test.cjs) that assert on the raw argv
captured at the execGit seam, e.g. `gitCalls.some((a) => a[0] ===
'commit')`. Carry the same override via `GIT_CONFIG_COUNT` /
`GIT_CONFIG_KEY_0` / `GIT_CONFIG_VALUE_0` env vars instead, which git
honours identically and leaves argv untouched. Re-confirmed on the
gsd-tester-linux v1.8.0-node24 bench (git 2.39.5): the submodule commit
still succeeds.

* test(#3859): pin the commitEnv GIT_CONFIG_* override to canScope directly

The commitEnv/GIT_CONFIG_* override added in e935694fc/b3d37b929 was only
exercised indirectly through pre-existing submodule integration tests. Add
two dedicated regression tests that pin the canScope=false side of the
scoping decision: a whole-index commit (no --files) and an --amend commit
must both keep recording a bumped submodule gitlink under
diff.ignoreSubmodules=all with no override applied, since neither shape
carries a pathspec for that git internal check to consult.

* fix(#4112): match grep invocations after then/do/else/elif shell keywords

lint-portable-grep.cjs's GREP_INVOCATION_RE only anchored to line-start or
right after `| & ; ( \` {`, so a grep call positioned right after `then`,
`do`, `else`, or `elif` (e.g. `if x; then grep -oP '...'; fi`) was never
flagged, letting the GNU-only grep -P defect this lint exists to catch
reappear undetected in that shape.

* fix(#3859): apply the diff.ignoreSubmodules override to every commit, not just scoped ones

The commitEnv GIT_CONFIG_* override landed in e935694fc/b3d37b929 only when
canScope was true, on the assumption that git 2.39.5's silent refusal of a
bumped submodule gitlink under diff.ignoreSubmodules=all only affects a
pathspec-limited `git commit -- <paths>`. Reproduced directly against the
pinned CI tester image (ghcr.io/open-gsd/gsd-tester-linux:v1.8.0-node24,
git 2.39.5): a bare whole-index `git commit -m ...` with no pathspec at all
is refused identically when the only staged change is a submodule gitlink,
since git's "nothing to commit" check is a real diff against HEAD that
honours diff.ignoreSubmodules regardless of whether a pathspec narrows it.
Apply the override unconditionally instead of gating it on canScope; it
remains a confirmed no-op for --amend, which never hits this refusal at
all. Caught by the new regression test added in 579ac9f8f, which failed
against the real bench git version before this change.

* fix(#3859): apply diff.ignoreSubmodules override to commit-to-subrepo and pr-subrepo

cmdCommit already carries the GIT_CONFIG_* override that forces
diff.ignoreSubmodules=dirty on the actual git commit call so a bumped
submodule gitlink is not spuriously refused under git 2.39.5. The two
sibling multi-repo commit paths, cmdCommitToSubrepo and cmdPrSubrepo,
build the identical canScope-branched commit invocation but never
carried the override, so the same refusal there surfaces as a generic
commit_failed/error instead of a recorded gitlink. Apply the override
unconditionally to both, matching the corrected cmdCommit shape.

* fix(#3859): pin pr-subrepo's change detection against diff.ignoreSubmodules

cmdPrSubrepo discovers what to commit via `git status --porcelain`, which
(like the empty-diff probe fixed for cmdCommit) honors a local
diff.ignoreSubmodules=all config. Under that config, a genuinely bumped
submodule gitlink is invisible to the status scan, so changedFiles comes
back empty and the function reports nothing_to_commit before ever reaching
the commit call this same issue already fixed. Pin the status probe with
--ignore-submodules=dirty, mirroring the flag cmdCommit's diff probe already
uses, so a real gitlink bump is detected regardless of local config.

Found while adding a regression test for the previous #3859 follow-up fix:
the test failed not on the commit step but on this earlier detection step.

80d2236ca5 fix(#4112): drop redundant $(( subshell wrapping in pause-work.md Context Detection (#4140)
* test(#4112): add failing-first regression coverage for pause-work.md Context Detection

Extracts and executes the shipped Context Detection bash block to prove the
$(( arithmetic-context misparse (SC1102/SC1106/SC2205) as a hard syntax
error, plus boundary/independence coverage for the phase/spike/sketch/
deliberation resolution the fix must preserve.

* test(#4112): fix false-green regression test — assert dash/sh failure, not bash -n

The prior version asserted bash -n syntax validity and wrapped bash -c
execution, neither of which detects this bug: bash/zsh silently fall back to
a working command-substitution reading of the ambiguous $(( construct, and
bash -n never evaluates arithmetic-context content at parse time. A gsd-test
run against the still-broken file passed 41594/41594 with this test in
place — a false green. POSIX sh/dash does not implement that fallback and
throws a real "Syntax error: Missing '))'", which is what this version
asserts against.

* fix(#4112): remove leaked tool-call tags corrupting the regression test file

A subagent's Write introduced trailing </content>/</invoke> markup at the
end of tests/pause-work-context-detection.test.cjs. gsd-test's own
tests/portability-rule-disable-ban.test.cjs (which parses every test file)
correctly caught this as a parse error. Strips the garbage lines; no
behavioral change.

* fix(#4112): drop redundant $(( subshell wrapping in pause-work.md Context Detection

phase=/spike=/sketch= opened with $((, which POSIX sh/dash parses as
arithmetic expansion and rejects (Syntax error: Missing '))') since the
enclosed text isn't valid arithmetic. bash/zsh silently retry it as command
substitution, which masked the defect there. Dropping the inner grouping
parens (matching the deliberation= line already in the same block) makes
the construct valid under bash, zsh, and dash alike, with identical
fallback-to-empty-string behavior when nothing matches.

Once the surrounding syntax parses, ShellCheck can now also analyze the
inner ls -lt calls it previously couldn't see past the parse failure,
newly surfacing the same pre-existing SC2012 ("use find instead of ls")
suggestion already baselined for the file's other ls usage. Baseline
updated to reflect the true current count; no ls-vs-find behavior change
made, as that is a separate, pre-existing, out-of-scope question.

* fix(#4112): verify shell discrimination instead of trusting the binary name

Code review finding: falling back from dash to sh could silently produce a
non-discriminating test on a host where /bin/sh is bash-compatible (e.g.
macOS) — such a shell never throws on the broken construct either, so the
test would pass whether the bug were present or not. resolvePosixShell now
verifies the candidate actually rejects a known-ambiguous $(( snippet
before using it, and skips with an explicit reason when none does. The
gsd-test Linux bench (dash as /bin/sh) is unaffected either way.

* fix(#4112): route regression test through process-seam, splitLines, cleanup

npm run lint:ci flagged 7 violations gsd-test's node:test run doesn't check:
local/no-adhoc-markdown-parsing (single fence-spanning regex),
local/no-crlf-fragile-split (bare \n split), local/no-unbounded-spawn (x4,
hand-rolled execFileSync with no timeout), and local/no-raw-rmsync-in-tests.
Rewrites the test to route every subprocess call through
tests/helpers/process-seam.cjs's runHook() (bounded by construction),
tests/helpers.cjs's cleanup() for temp-dir removal, and a line-by-line fence
scan using the text-lines.cts splitLines() seam, matching this repo's
established extraction idiom (tests/no-hardcoded-home-gsd-tools.test.cjs).
No behavioral change to what is asserted.

* fix(#4113): add no-op to empty then-body in chunked-planning-mode.md's outline resume-check

The `### 8.5.1 Outline Phase` resume-detection `if` block only contained a
comment in its `then` clause, which is a syntax error under both bash and
zsh if executed literally. The workflow ShellCheck lint added by #4109
already flags this (SC1009/1048/1072/1073/2105) but the findings were
masked by matching entries in the pre-existing-findings baseline; those
five entries are removed here so a regression re-surfaces as a new
failure instead of being silently re-absorbed.

outside any bash loop in the ### 8.5.2 per-plan resume-check. Same root

cad70f4f3e fix(#4120): replace shellcheck npm dep with dependency-free downloader (#4121)
* fix(#4120): replace shellcheck npm dep with dependency-free downloader

The `shellcheck` devDependency (added in #4109) pulled in decompress@4.2.1
for archive extraction, which carries an unpatched CRITICAL zip-slip
vulnerability (GHSA-mp2f-45pm-3cg9, CVSS 9.1) plus two moderate findings.
decompress's latest published version IS the vulnerable one -- no patched
release exists upstream, so npm audit fix cannot resolve this by upgrading.

Removes the shellcheck package entirely and replaces its role with
scripts/lib/shellcheck-fetch.cjs: a small downloader using only Node's
built-in https/zlib plus a hand-written tar-entry reader, fetching a pinned
koalaman/shellcheck release directly from GitHub releases. The reader never
uses an archive-supplied name as a filesystem path (the exact defect class
decompress had) -- it only returns the matched entry's bytes; the caller
writes those bytes to a path it constructs itself. Bounds the download with
a 30s-per-hop timeout, consistent with the ShellCheck subprocess's own
timeout. Covers linux/darwin on x86_64/aarch64, matching this repo's actual
CI (lint-tests runs only on ubuntu-latest) and local dev needs; Windows
fails with a clear, honest error rather than silently misbehaving.

Adds tests/lint-workflow-shellcheck-fetch.test.cjs covering the tar-parser
(unit cases plus a fast-check property test per CLAUDE.md's parser-testing
requirement), a security behavioral pin confirming traversal-style entry
names are treated as opaque strings never filesystem paths, and boundary
coverage for the redirect-following logic's MAX_REDIRECTS limit
(limit-1/limit/limit+1, via an injectable transport, no real network I/O).

npm audit: 0 vulnerabilities (was 1 critical + 5 moderate). The lint script
reproduces the identical result against the current tree:
"212 pre-existing finding(s) from baseline, 0 new" -- no behavior
regression, no baseline changes needed.

* fix(#4120): register shellcheck-fetch.cjs with the installer

scripts/lib/shellcheck-fetch.cjs shipped without being added to
GSD_SCRIPTS_LIB_FILES in bin/install.js, which would have left it orphaned
on uninstall and broken the golden install-tree fixtures for every runtime.
Adds the entry and regenerates the 19 affected fixtures via
npm run gen:install-tree.

e242d85c92 fix(#4109): rewrap unquoted DISPATCH_SLUGS-shaped consumption to survive zsh (#4116)
* test(#4109): add zsh regression coverage for gate-check and invoke_reviewers dispatch

Extends tests/review-plan-coverage-manifest.test.cjs to cover the two
DISPATCH_SLUGS consumption sites the existing #3301 coverage-check tests
don't reach: the write_reviews gate-check block (ALL_LANES_SKIPPED /
TOTAL_LANE_FAILURE counting) and invoke_reviewers' dispatch + join loops.
Both extract the real shipped bash from review.md and run it under bash and
zsh, same convention as the existing coverage-check rows. Expected RED under
zsh pre-fix, GREEN post-fix.

* fix(#4109): rewrap unquoted DISPATCH_SLUGS-shaped consumption to survive zsh

Bash word-splits an unquoted scalar on IFS by default; zsh does not (no
setopt SH_WORD_SPLIT anywhere in these files), so a scalar accumulated from
multiple space-separated tokens and then consumed via bare `for x in $VAR`
collapses onto one bogus iteration under zsh whenever it holds 2+ tokens.

Fixes all four review.md sites reported by #4108/#4109 (invoke_reviewers
dispatch + join loops, the gate-check block, and the #3301 coverage-check
block), plus the identical pattern found by a repo-wide sweep in
complete-milestone.md, code-review.md, pr-branch.md, sync-skills.md, and
execute-phase/steps/per-plan-worktree-gate.md. Each site is rewrapped in
unquoted command substitution (`$(printf '%s' "$VAR")`), which re-splits
identically under both shells regardless of SH_WORD_SPLIT — the same
mechanism that already made the accumulator-building loops in these files
shell-safe.

* test(#4109): warn loudly when the zsh probe fails instead of skipping silently

detectShells() drops the zsh test lane whenever a live zsh probe fails (e.g.
on a CI runner without zsh installed), and a dropped lane reads identically
to a passing one in the suite's own output — exactly the blind spot that let
#4109's bug class ship undetected. Both copies of this helper (this file and
its byte-identical duplicate in review-build-prompt-optional-sections.test.cjs)
now emit a greppable console.warn when the probe fails, so a run without zsh
reads as "zsh coverage unknown" rather than "all lanes green".

* ci(#4109): gate workflows/*.md's embedded bash blocks in lint:ci

Adds scripts/lint-workflow-shellcheck.cjs, wired into npm run lint:ci, so
this bug class can't land undetected a third time. Two independent checks
run over every ```bash block in gsd-core/workflows/**/*.md:

- ShellCheck (new `shellcheck` devDependency, downloads and caches the real
  koalaman/shellcheck binary) catches the general unquoted-expansion/
  word-splitting family in argument position. 212 pre-existing findings
  across the tree are absorbed into scripts/lint-workflow-shellcheck-baseline.json
  (matched on {file, code, message}, not line number, so unrelated edits
  elsewhere in a file can't spuriously un-baseline anything) — fixing all of
  them is out of scope for this issue; only NEW findings fail the build.
- A custom structural check specifically for #4109's own shape: ShellCheck
  does not flag a bare `for x in $VAR` word-list — it treats that as an
  intentional idiom under any ruleset (confirmed empirically). This check
  does, and gates the build on any occurrence, with zero tolerance (no
  baseline) since every known site was already swept and fixed on this
  branch.

* test(#4109): update pr-branch cherry-pick loop test anchor for the zsh fix

extractPickLoop()'s PICK_LOOP_MARKER located the create_pr_branch cherry-pick
loop by the literal substring "for HASH in $INCLUDED_COMMITS", which no
longer appears verbatim after this issue's fix rewrapped that loop in
unquoted command substitution. Updates the anchor (and its error message,
now derived from the same constant instead of duplicating stale text) to the
new literal form. No behavior change to the extraction logic itself.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: review.md — #4109's fix adds explanatory comments at 4 sites; net code is functionally equivalent, comment expansion grows the file
Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: complete-milestone.md — #4109's fix adds explanatory comments at 3 sites documenting the zsh word-splitting divergence

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: sync-skills.md — #4109's fix adds explanatory comments at 2 sites (CREATE_LIST/UPDATE_LIST, REMOVE_LIST)

* test(#4109): cover lint-workflow-shellcheck parsers + add timeout

Adds tests/lint-workflow-shellcheck.test.cjs covering the hand-rolled
parser/logic functions exported by scripts/lint-workflow-shellcheck.cjs
(stripCommandSubstitutions, stripShellComments, substitutePlaceholders,
extractForLoops, findBareForLoopSplits, findingKey, partitionAgainstBaseline)
that shipped with zero coverage — CLAUDE.md requires at least one fast-check
property test for parsers, included here (bare/braced forms always flagged
naming the variable; quoted/substituted/literal forms never are).

Also bounds runShellcheck's subprocess with a 60s timeout: the `shellcheck`
npm package's own API has no timeout option and internally blocks on a
synchronous spawnSync, so this reimplements the binary resolve/download step
via the package's own exported config/download and calls spawnSync directly
with a native timeout. And guards the CLI entry point with
`if (require.main === module)`, matching this repo's sibling dual-purpose
lint scripts — without it, requiring the module for its exported functions
(as the new test file does) also triggered a live ShellCheck run as a side
effect.

1a358ce0fd feat(#2761): bracket-tolerant read path — roadmap/validate/verify/state recognize bracket ids (epic #612 PR-2) (#2867)
* feat(#2761): gated heading-intro selection + one bracket identity grammar

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

1. GATED SELECTION, not an ungated widening.

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

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

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

2. ONE bracket identity grammar, one width rule.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* chore(#2761): changeset

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Full suite green (1072/1072 across the targeted adr-612 + roadmap-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 Major 1 round-3: preambleCutoff's
version/emoji half is fence-aware on the bracket branch" — RED-turned-
GREEN for case C1 (readTotal + syncedPercent, so the persisted 75% is

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  3/2/67), plus the disk-filter observable (`GSD.01-01-old` now
  correctly excluded).
- PIN for the level-4 preamble heading: the scope now PRESERVES the
  heading's text (was silently dropped before this fix — harmless in
  this minimal fixture's total_phases specifically, since the dropped

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tests: new describe block "#612 PR-2 round-5 Blocker 1:

GREEN for G3 (3/2/67, was 2/2/100) and G3d (the mixed bracket+legacy
mid-migration shape, same numbers) with syncedTotal()/syncedPercent(),
PIN for G3's legacy control (unaffected), PIN for G3b (isolates the
counter with no directory to admit), PIN for G3c (legacy 01/02 only,
no sentinel-shaped token present).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Two reproduced consequences:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This reverts commit 03c74a97c911e9ddc53675aded9c9bbb89f14cd1.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Test-only; revertable independently of the merge commit.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The rebase replayed this file's pre-#3639 patch over next, reverting the
isSentinelPhaseId(token) -> isSentinelPhaseDir(dirName) fix: the extracted
token is milestone-stripped, so a bracket sentinel (GSD.999-07-icebox,

Restores upstream's call and comment verbatim; the branch's convention-aware

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

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

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

Three documentation corrections, none touching production code.

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

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

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

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

where the token was previously accepted and ignored. `state validate` never
had a `--json` flag — JSON is its only output shape — so the argument was a
silent no-op from the start.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6eea00b707 enhance(#3301): tell reviewers the plan ids and total count, grade coverage (#4084)
* test(#3301): add failing-first plan coverage manifest tests

Failing-first regression tests for the plan-id manifest, the updated Review
Instructions, and the mechanical per-reviewer coverage check, ahead of the
review.md implementation. RED baseline before the fix lands.

* test(#3301): raise allow-test-rule-refs unverified ceiling for new marker

Adding tests/review-plan-coverage-manifest.test.cjs's source-text-is-the-product
marker grows the unverified-exemption pool by one (282 -> 283), the same
documented growth path scripts/lint-allow-test-rule-refs.cjs's own failure
output names. Confirmed clean via 'npm run lint:allow-test-rule-refs' locally.

* feat(#3301): tell reviewers the plan ids and total count, grade coverage

build_prompt now derives a plan-id manifest from each *-PLAN.md filename
(stripping the -PLAN.md suffix) and appends it, with the total plan count,
to both gsd-review-instructions.md and gsd-review-prompt.md. The Review
Instructions prose requires one heading-verbatim section per id before any
cross-plan or overall-risk content.

write_reviews grades each dispatched lane's real (non-stub, non-empty)
review against that same manifest and records an optional plan_coverage:
frontmatter block, present only when a lane is incomplete. The match
escapes regex metacharacters in the id and excludes a preceding/trailing
hyphen or word character as a boundary, closing the two traps named in the
issue (a decimal phase like 12.6 satisfied by 12X6-01; a threat id like
T-04-07 registering as coverage of plan 04-07). CodeRabbit is exempt, since
it never receives the source-grounding prompt carrying the manifest.

This closes the gap where a review that silently covers only some plans in
a multi-plan phase is indistinguishable from one that covers all of them.

* docs(#3301): add changeset fragment

* test(#3301): use t.after() instead of try/finally for cleanup

CONTRIBUTING.md bans try/finally inside test bodies. Code review caught
this in the new coverage-manifest test file; switch every fixture-cleanup
site to the approved t.after() pattern.

* test: use t.after() instead of try/finally in #3300's build_prompt tests

Pre-existing try/finally-for-cleanup pattern in this file (landed for
#3300) violates CONTRIBUTING.md's explicit ban on try/finally inside test
bodies. Surfaced incidentally while reviewing #3301's diff, which cites
this file as its extraction-pattern precedent; fixed inline per the
no-defer rule rather than deferred to a separate PR.

* test(#3301): anchor coverage-check extraction on the fence line, not prose

`.plans-manifest.md` also appears in write_reviews' own prose ahead of the
```bash fence, so indexOf found that occurrence first and the
backward-walk-to-fence-open landed on the earlier, unrelated gate-check
block instead. gsd-test caught this: coverage-check tests expecting a real
verdict got null, because the wrong block ran and never writes
.plan-coverage-<slug>.json. Anchor on the fence-only bash assignment line
instead.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: review.md — #3301 adds the plan-coverage manifest and mechanical coverage check to build_prompt/write_reviews.

* fix(#3301): route id escaping through the canonical pattern seam

ADR-3212 (epic #3212) consolidated ~44 hand-rolled regex-escape copies into
one owner, src/pattern.cts's escapeRegex, specifically to stop this exact
class of duplication. My coverage-check node -e script hand-rolled the
identical metachar-escape regex — invisible to eslint-rules/no-adhoc-regex-escape.cjs
only because it lives inside a workflow markdown file, not a .cts/.cjs
source file the shape-matching guard scans. Require the compiled seam
(gsd-core/bin/lib/pattern.cjs) instead, matching the established
node -e-requires-a-compiled-lib idiom already used elsewhere in this
workflow (code-review.md's code-review-flags.cjs/code-review-depth.cjs
calls). Verified both named traps from the issue still resolve correctly
under escapeRegex's RegExp.escape-backed implementation, which differs in
escaped-text shape (hex-escapes hyphens/leading chars) but not match
result.

* test(#3301): run coverage-check block with cwd at the repo root

The block's node -e now requires ./gsd-core/bin/lib/pattern.cjs, a path
relative to the repo root (correct for production, which always runs
from there). The test harness ran it with cwd at the fixture's own temp
dir instead, so the require failed. Add an optional cwd param to
runScript (default: root, unchanged for the plan-copy-block tests) and
pass the real repo root for every coverage-check call site. Manually
verified end-to-end before spending another remote run: the extracted
block now produces the expected {complete:true} verdict.

* docs(#3301): backfill changeset pr number (pr:0 -> pr:4084)

86452da7cb fix(#4070): reserve shard 1's aux-suite cost out of the LPT unit-test packer (#4072)
* test(#4070): failing-first regression for shard1 aux-suite budget imbalance

- selectShard has no way to reserve virtual weight on a bin, so the LPT
  unit-test packer cannot account for shard 1's fixed aux-suite cost
  (integration/security/install/slow all pinned to shard 1/3).
- test.yml wires no such reserve into the workflow.
- ci-test-job-timeout-budget.test.cjs's LANE_COSTS entry for job `test`
  was stale (7m12s from run 30677442953, predating the aux-suite growth);
  corrected to the real evidence cited in #4070 (13m48s / cancelled at
  ~14m51s), which now honestly fails the file's own 1.5x headroom policy
  against the current 15-minute cap.

All three are expected RED on this commit; see
.gsd/bug/fix-4070-shard1-aux-suite-budget/50-test-matrix.md.

* fix(#4070): reserve shard 1's aux-suite cost out of the LPT unit-test packer

selectShard now accepts an optional initialWeights array giving one or more
bins a virtual head start before any file is placed, so LPT converges each
bin's FINAL total (assigned weight + head start) toward equal instead of
raw assigned weight alone. test.yml wires RUN_TESTS_SHARD_RESERVE=1:77 into
the full-scope unit-test step (gated on matrix.scope == 'full', so the
unrelated windows lane is unaffected) -- 77 weight units is the empirical
conversion of the aux suites' ~220s measured fixed cost, derived against
the real tests/test-timings.json (see the diagnosis artifact for the full
computation).

Also corrects two pieces of now-stale bookkeeping this issue exposed:
- ci-test-job-timeout-budget.test.cjs's LANE_COSTS entry for job `test`
  carried a 7m12s figure that predated the aux-suite growth; corrected to
  the real pre-fix evidence (13m48s / cancelled at ~14m51s, issue #4070),
  which requires raising timeout-minutes from 15 to 21 (1.5x headroom over
  the real worst-case measurement) to satisfy the file's own policy.
- test.yml's job-header and matrix comments, which still claimed the aux
  suites cost "~1m35s combined" (they now measure ~216-224s).

Closes the gap the previous commit's failing-first tests proved: selectShard
had no reserve-capacity mechanism and test.yml wired none in.

* fix(#4070): correct the reserved-weight property bound; cover main()'s reserve bounds check

Isolated code review found a genuine gap and gsd-test's real run confirmed a real
test bug it exposed:

- The fast-check property "no shard exceeds average(+reserve) + heaviest file" was
  falsified by gsd-test itself (weights=[1,1,1], total=2, reserve=6 on bin 0):
  selectShard is correct, the BOUND was wrong. A reserve large enough that its bin
  never receives a real item stays at exactly that reserve forever -- no amount of
  routing real items elsewhere can dilute a fixed head start below itself -- so the
  true bound is max(reserve, the classic Graham term), not the Graham term alone.
  Verified the corrected bound against the exact counterexample plus 20,000
  additional random trials (zero violations) before re-running gsd-test.

- Isolated review (MAJOR): the shard-total bounds check on RUN_TESTS_SHARD_RESERVE
  and its console.error fallback in main() were untested end-to-end --
  parseShardReserve itself has no concept of the shard total, so only main()
  enforces that guard, and nothing exercised it through the subprocess seam. Added
  an E2E harness test that sets RUN_TESTS_SHARD_RESERVE to an out-of-range index
  via the real CLI, asserts the fallback warning fires, AND asserts the resulting
  file selection is byte-identical to a no-reserve control run against the same
  injected timings table -- proving the reserve was actually ignored, not just
  that a warning printed.

* chore(#4070): backfill changeset PR number

pr:0 -> pr:4072

* fix(#4070): strip leaked RUN_TESTS_SHARD_RESERVE from the harness test's child env

Real GH Actions CI on this PR (run 33288554040, ubuntu shard 2/3) failed 7
tests in the shard-partitioning describe block, all with the same symptom:
`run-tests: no tests in suite "all"` where a real file count was expected.
gsd-test's own dockerized bench run never showed this, and ubuntu shards 1/3
and 3/3 (which run the same test.yml step) passed clean -- the discrepancy is
the tell: only shard 2/3 happened to schedule this specific test FILE for
that run, and the outer CI job's own environment is where the leak lives.

Root cause: test.yml's "Run unit tests" step now sets
RUN_TESTS_SHARD_RESERVE=1:77 (this issue's own reserve mechanism) on the
OUTER job that runs `npm run test:coverage:unit:raw -- --shard N`. The
harness test file's runHarness() helper spawns run-tests.cjs as a CHILD of
that same job via `{...process.env, ...extraEnv}`, so every pre-existing
--shard test in this describe block silently inherited the ambient reserve
-- even though none of them know it exists. A reserve of 77 weight units
utterly dwarfs the ~0.3 total weight of the 9-file synthetic fixtures these
tests use (none are in the real timings table, so all fall back to the same
tiny median weight), so shard index 1 is routed zero files every time --
exactly the observed "no tests" failures, and exactly the skewed 5/4 split
observed on the shard-2 test that expected a plain 3/3/3 round-robin.

Reproduced locally end to end (set RUN_TESTS_SHARD_RESERVE=1:77, spawn the
old runHarness against a synthetic 9-file fixture, --shard 1/3 -- reproduces
the exact "no tests in suite \"all\"" stderr) and confirmed the fix (env
stripped unless a test opts in via extraEnv, as the #4070 E2E bounds-check
test already does) resolves it, before re-running gsd-test.

This is a genuine bug this PR introduced -- a new ambient env var that a
pre-existing subprocess-spawning test helper didn't know to isolate against
-- not a pre-existing flake and not resource contention.

8793d307f6 fix(#4060): drive repo-baseline lint check in-process, not via a subprocess timeout race (#4065)
* test(#4060): failing-first regression for repo-baseline subtest timeout race

The "repo baseline passes" subtest in lint-allow-test-rule-refs.test.cjs
drives the script under test via a spawnSync subprocess with a fixed
30s timeout, which races the script's real wall-clock completion
against unbounded CI-load contention -- it has already died at this
race twice (#4060, and once before at a lower bound). Rewrites the
subtest to call the script's `main` directly, in-process, removing the
subprocess timeout race entirely. This commit only changes the test
(main is not yet exported), so it fails first with
`TypeError: scriptUnderTest.main is not a function`.

* fix(#4060): export lint-allow-test-rule-refs main() for in-process drive

The "repo baseline passes" subtest previously drove this script via a
spawnSync subprocess with a fixed 30s timeout, racing the script's
real completion time against unbounded CI-load contention -- it has
now died at that race twice (#4060, and once before at a lower
bound). A fixed timeout racing unbounded contention has no value that
is both tight and safe, so raising it again would not fix the
mechanism, only its odds.

Parameterizes main() to accept an explicit argv (defaulting to
process.argv.slice(2) only when omitted, so the CLI entrypoint is
unaffected) and exports it, so the test can call it directly,
in-process -- removing the subprocess and its spawnSync timeout kill
race entirely for this one row.

* fix(#4060): capture stderr too in the in-process repo-baseline subtest

Code-review finding: the in-process rewrite captured only console.log,
but main()'s real failure path throws a bare, messageless ExitError --
all diagnostic detail goes to process.stderr.write. The old
subprocess-based assertion embedded both stdout and stderr in its
failure message; this silently dropped that debuggability. Captures
process.stderr.write the same way (restored in finally) and surfaces
both streams in assertion failure messages and in a wrapped re-thrown
error on an unexpected throw from main().

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

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

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

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

Fixes #3726

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

370cfc6680 enhance(#4036): persist CI shard/job timeout-vs-cap trending, warn at 90% (#4043)
* feat(#4036): persist CI shard/job timeout-vs-cap trending, warn at 90%

Adds two new mechanisms plus an audit-coverage extension:

- scripts/lib/ci-job-timing.cjs: shared elapsed-vs-cap arithmetic
- scripts/ci-check-job-near-cap.cjs: in-job advisory near-cap check,
  wired into test/test-full/mutate/smoke as each job's last step
- scripts/ci-timeout-report.cjs + .github/workflows/ci-timeout-report.yml:
  scheduled REST-API poll that appends new records to
  tests/ci-timeout-budget-history.jsonl and opens a small data-only PR
- tests/ci-test-job-timeout-budget.test.cjs: extended to cover mutate
  (mutation.yml) and smoke (install-smoke.yml), which previously had no
  headroom-factor gate coverage at all

Does not change any timeout-minutes value, shard composition, or shard-1
contents — those stay maintainer policy calls per the issue's own scope.

* fix(#4036): address two-orthogonal-review findings

- Parity tests guarding the two hand-duplicated literals this design
  cannot single-source through GH Actions YAML: CI_JOB_TIMEOUT_MINUTES
  vs each job's own timeout-minutes, and ci-timeout-report.cjs's
  JOB_RULES name-prefixes vs each job's actual name: template.

* test(#4036): regenerate golden install-tree fixtures for scripts/lib/ci-job-timing.cjs

npm run gen:install-tree — scripts/ ships wholesale into the installed
package (per ADR/known-defect precedent from #4012's own PR history: a
new scripts/lib/*.cjs file needs its golden entry regenerated or every
runtime's install-tree test fails). Confirmed via gsd-test: this was the
sole cause of the first real verification run's 25 failures (all in
tests/golden-install-tree.test.cjs, one per runtime). Top-level
scripts/*.cjs files (ci-check-job-near-cap.cjs, ci-timeout-report.cjs)
are not individually tracked in these fixtures — consistent with every
other existing top-level scripts/*.cjs file, so no entry was expected
or added for those two.

* fix(#4036): register new lib file with installer, fix H1 shell policy

- bin/install.js: add ci-job-timing.cjs to GSD_SCRIPTS_LIB_FILES (a
  hand-maintained registry, not generated — tests/install.test.cjs
  asserts every scripts/lib/ file is enumerated here)
- test.yml: replace the two OS-conditional "Record job start time"
  step pairs (test + test-full jobs) with a single unconditional
  `node -e` step. The prior pair's Windows variant declared an
  explicit shell: pwsh, which scripts/workflow-policy.cjs's H1 checker
  statically flags against every OS a job's matrix can realize,
  independent of the step's own if: gate. A single Node one-liner
  needs no shell override at all — it's syntactically valid and
  behaves identically under bash, zsh, and pwsh — which is both H1
  compliant and removes the last OS-specific shell syntax from this
  change entirely.

Both defects were found by a real gsd-test run, not local gates —
lint:ci and build:lib were clean throughout because neither the
scripts/lib/ install-manifest parity check nor the H1 shell-policy
baseline runs as part of lint:ci; both are gsd-test-only suites.

* docs(#4036): how-to for reading CI timeout budget signals

The phase-gate docs check correctly flagged the enablement sequence as
3 real steps (read the near-cap warning, find the accumulated trend
file, pick the right maintainer lever) — a reference table can't carry
a sequence. Adds docs/how-to/read-ci-timeout-signals.md, indexed from
docs/README.md.

fd63889d1f fix(#3854): write normalization preserves tight multi-line lists (#4049)
* test(#3854): write normalization must preserve tight multi-line lists (failing first)

* fix(#3854): no blank before a bullet whose previous line is an indented continuation

_normalizeMd's 'separate a list from a preceding paragraph' rule inserted
a blank before any bullet whose previous line wasn't a bullet — but an
INDENTED CONTINUATION of the previous multi-line item also isn't a
bullet. Every .md write (phase.complete in the report, but any write
through platformWriteSync) therefore converted tight lists to loose
ones: +61 blank lines on the reporter's 1015-line ROADMAP, one before
each bullet following a wrapped item. Tight and loose lists render
differently, so this was a rendering change plus misleading diff noise;
one-shot (idempotent afterwards), which is why integrity checks on
headings/content passed.

The guard is the mirror image of the after-a-bullet rule two lines
below, which already excludes indented next lines. Paragraph→list and
heading→list separations — the rule's purpose — are pinned unchanged by
the new suite.

* fix(#3854): review fold-ins — ceiling tracks next's 281 + this branch's marker (282), header/require nits

The ceiling is not ratcheted but must track the tree: origin/next raised
it to 281 (sibling branch's marker file); this tree adds one more
(shell-command-projection-md-normalize), so 282/282. Also fixes the test
header's stale pre-rename filename and hoists the inline require to the
file's single import.

0bf778c352 fix(#3849): phase allocation counts numbers held by sibling git worktrees (#4042)
* test(#3849): phase allocation must skip numbers held by sibling worktrees (failing first)

* fix(#3849): phase allocation counts numbers held by sibling git worktrees

Both allocators (cmdPhaseAdd, cmdPhaseAddBatch) chose max+1 over numbers
gathered from ONE checkout — headers, bullets (add only), on-disk dirs.
Every sibling git worktree carries its own .planning/ on its own branch,
so a phase minted there was invisible and the same number was allocated
twice (the reported incident: two Phase 441s, one with six written
plans, surfaced a day late by human memory).

New shared horizon collectSiblingWorktreePhaseNums: one
git worktree list --porcelain, then per sibling — phase-dir names (the
cheap scan that would have caught the incident) and the WHOLE sibling
ROADMAP.md headers (a row can predate its dir; milestone-scoping would
be wrong — a number used under any milestone on another branch is
taken). Widen, never refuse: unreadable sibling / no .planning / not a
git repo / git unavailable each contribute nothing and allocation is
unchanged. Reuses isSentinelPhaseId and the allocators' own patterns.

Secondary (#1229 never reached batch): cmdPhaseAddBatch now also scans
roadmap bullets — a bullet-only 'Phase N' row was invisible to batch
allocation, exactly the condition #1229 was filed for.

Also fixes the two new tests' result-key access (output.phases, not
output.results).

* fix(#3849): review fold-ins — subprocess band, bounded test git, linked-worktree fixture

- execFileSync options now match the repo's git band (10s window,
  windowsHide, 4MiB maxBuffer) — a spurious 4s timeout silently reverted
  to the pre-fix collision.
- test git helper bounded (15s) per local/no-unbounded-spawn.
- new fixture: allocation FROM a linked worktree counts the main
  checkout — the incident's actual topology direction.
- fixture-setup rmSync carries the sanctioned lint-disable (setup, not
  teardown; cleanup() still owns directory removal).

* fix(#3849): exempt the sibling-worktree scan from the enumeration-drift guard

collectSiblingWorktreePhaseNums reads a SIBLING checkout's phases dir —
a different question from the cwd-scoped listMilestonePhaseDirs the
guard routes everything to (which cannot see another worktree's
.planning at all). Function-scoped, per ADR-3180 Decision 4(a): any
other re-derivation in phase.cts is still caught. The GREEN bench
caught the omission.

* test(#3839): docs hook tables must match surface registrations (failing first)

* docs(#3839): hook tables say PreToolUse for validate-commit, SessionStart for session-state

gsd-validate-commit.sh is registered PreToolUse (src/runtime-hooks-surface.cts;
its exit-2 block IS the contract — a post-tool hook cannot prevent a commit)
and gsd-session-state.sh is registered SessionStart (session orientation, not
post-tool tracking). Both rows said PostToolUse in ARCHITECTURE.md and the
three INVENTORY locales; the issue asked for a neighbouring-row scan, which
is how the session-state row was found. All other rows in the four tables
verify against the surface.

* fix(#3839): review fold-ins — 10 more wrong rows in ko-KR/pt-BR/zh-CN, parser authority + drift pins

Adversarial review found the same two wrong rows shipped in five more
files the issue's table missed (ko-KR ARCHITECTURE+INVENTORY, pt-BR
ARCHITECTURE+INVENTORY, zh-CN ARCHITECTURE) — all fixed; DOC_TABLES now
covers all ten shipped tables. The parity parser unioned only the Kimi
mirror list, silently exempting agent-isolation-guard (registered via
the dynamic preToolEvent push): probes are now parsed too, with bare
hook names resolved against hooks/ ground truth and dynamic event
variables resolved to their canonical (non-Gemini) events; an exact-set
pin replaces the loose size guard. allow-test-rule marker carries the
issue ref; unverified-ceiling 280→281 (audited: the new marker is
legitimate — the suite reads product docs whose text is the contract).

* fix(#3839): register the hook-table parity suite in the docs-guard lane

The new suite reads ten docs/ paths, so lint-docs-guard-registration
requires it in the docs-guard registry — the first GREEN bench run
caught the omission (the RED run's docs-guard failures were the same
signal, previously misread as marker fallout).

80de48c319 enhance(#3914): every phase records a truthful guard ledger (#4018)
* fix(#3914): retire n/no-process-exit where its successor governs

Epic #3889 criterion 5 — no phase closes with a guard added and its
predecessor left standing — is violated in the tree by the epic that wrote it.

local/require-registered-exit was registered on gsd-core/bin/**/*.cjs and
scripts/**/*.cjs, while n/no-process-exit stayed 'error' over a nine-glob block
covering those same two. Only the hooks 'off' exemption ever came down; the
predecessor's registration never did. Both rules have been enforcing the same
property on the same surfaces since P6.

Narrowed, not deleted. Seven of those nine globs have NO successor —
eslint-rules/, bin/lib/, pi/, examples/, vscode/, .kilo/, .opencode/ — so
deleting the rule outright would silently drop enforcement on all seven. That
is the inversion this epic has already hit three times: removing a coarse guard
because a narrower one exists somewhere it does not reach. Flat config is
last-match-wins and both successor blocks come after the nine-glob block, so
'n/no-process-exit': 'off' in exactly those two retires the predecessor
precisely where the successor governs and nowhere else.

The successor is strictly more precise: it permits process.exit only inside
terminateNow in cli-exit.cts, the single sanctioned terminator (ADR-3889 §3),
where n/no-process-exit permits none and would flag terminateNow's own
generated copy.

Asserted at the consumer's altitude via ESLint.calculateConfigForFile on real
paths, with the positive control that matters: n/no-process-exit is still
'error' on six of the seven successor-less globs, so a future edit that turns
this into a blanket disable goes red. bin/lib/ has no file in this checkout and
is reported as untested rather than given an invented path. Severity is
normalized across the string/numeric/array forms the API can return, and the
normalized value asserted — not truthiness.

Verified by running calculateConfigForFile myself on both superseded globs and
four controls before trusting the test.

Found and fixed inline: the change made an eslint-disable directive at
gsd-tools.cjs:257 partially unused, which --max-warnings 0 rejects; narrowed to
the one rule still in force.

Verification runs on the remote runner.

Refs #3914

* docs(#3914): the epic added three guards, it did not remove one

The audit reconciled the epic ledger against what actually landed. The net is
+3, not -1: four lint:generated-sync --check arms (gen-scripts-cli-exit,
gen-hooks-cli-exit, gen-exit-code-registry, gen-exit-code-docs) plus one rule,
against two retirements.

An epic whose thesis was consolidation ended with a larger guard surface than
it started with. The additions are each defensible; the claim that the total
fell was never true.

Two of the three prior errors in this amendment are mine. It said "Net -1 by
count" above terms reading -1 -1 +1 +1 +1, which sums to +1 — an arithmetic
error in the paragraph directly below the sentence arguing that an ADR about
honest accounting must not pad its own ledger. And the term list omitted two of
the four --check arms, which is what turns that +1 into the real +3.

Recorded rather than quietly rewritten. This ledger has now been wrong three
times — the original -2, the -1 that replaced it, and #3914's own table, which
states -1 above terms summing to 0 — and a written claim nobody checked against
the thing it describes is the exact failure this epic exists to close.

Refs #3914

* fix(#3914): make the successor actually supersede before retiring the predecessor

An isolated security review found that the previous commit turned off a guard
that was still doing work. Reproduced by executing both rules against a
fixture, not inferred:

  const exit = 'exit';
  process[exit](1);

n/no-process-exit flags it; local/require-registered-exit did not, because it
early-returned on callee.computed. So retiring the predecessor on
gsd-core/bin/**/*.cjs and scripts/**/*.cjs un-guarded that shape on precisely
the two globs this epic's exit contract cares most about.

This is the third time in this epic I have removed a coarse guard on the claim
that a narrower one covered it, without checking construct-level parity — after
the allowlist key-to-prefix-to-exact-membership sequence and the band
ranges-to-categories one. The rule is the same every time: a narrower guard
supersedes a coarser one only where it demonstrably reaches at least as far,
and "demonstrably" means executing both against the constructs, not reading
either.

The successor now resolves computed property access for the statically
determinable cases — a string Literal, and an Identifier bound once to a string
Literal, resolved through scope — and leaves genuinely dynamic properties
alone so the rule does not over-fire. Measured after the fix: plain
process.exit flagged, process['exit']() flagged, process[exit]() flagged,
process[globalThis.k]() not flagged. That makes it a strict superset of the
predecessor on these globs, since process['exit']() was caught by NEITHER rule
before.

The second finding is worse than the first, because it was reasoning rather
than oversight. My justification comment claimed n/no-process-exit "would flag
terminateNow's own generated copy here". It would not — that file is in the
global ignore list, so neither rule ever lints it. There was no conflict to
resolve; I wrote a rationale I had not checked, in a change whose entire
subject is written claims nobody verified. Both comment blocks now state the
real basis.

The tests that should have caught this asserted only rule SEVERITY per glob and
never construct REACH, which is exactly how a coverage hole passed. A parity
matrix now pins all five shapes, including a RED/GREEN regression pin against
an inlined reproduction of the pre-fix rule — inlined rather than loaded from
HEAD, because HEAD resolves to the fixed commit under the remote runner and
would silently stop testing anything.

Verification runs on the remote runner.

Refs #3914

* fix(#3914): the two exit rules are complementary — keep both

Reverts this branch's retirement of n/no-process-exit. The premise was wrong
twice, and the second review proved the change itself was wrong.

I claimed local/require-registered-exit was a strict superset on
gsd-core/bin/**/*.cjs and scripts/**/*.cjs. Measured, successor vs predecessor:

  function f(exit) { process[exit](1); }         0  vs  1
  let exit='exit'; exit='exit'; process[exit]()   0  vs  1
  const { exit } = ...; process[exit](1)         0  vs  1

plus for-of bindings, let-then-assign, var redeclaration, catch params, and an
undeclared global named exit. The predecessor matches any identifier NAMED
exit however it is bound; the successor resolves only a string literal or a
single-write const. It never was a superset — I asserted the relationship after
fixing one construct and did not re-check the rest.

The justification was independently false: all three generated cli-exit copies
are in the global ignore list, so n/no-process-exit was never flagging
terminateNow. There was no conflict to resolve. I wrote a rationale I had not
verified, in the phase whose subject is written claims nobody checked.

So criterion 5 does not apply to this pair. They are not predecessor and
successor — they are complementary, each catching constructs the other misses.
The epic's criterion assumed a replacement relationship that does not exist
here, and retiring either rule loses real coverage. The ADR ledger now says so
with the measured shapes.

What survives is the genuine improvement: the computed-property strengthening.
local/require-registered-exit now catches process['exit'](1) and optional-chain
terminators like process?.[k]?.(1), which NEITHER rule caught before, while
correctly ignoring a genuinely dynamic property so it does not over-fire.

The parity tests are rewritten to assert what is true rather than what I wanted
to be true: a bidirectional matrix where each rule is shown catching shapes the
other misses. The previous matrix tested only the four shapes where the
successor wins, which is precisely why the regression shipped — a test set
selected to confirm the thesis.

Also corrected: a stale ADR sentence claiming a third wrong ledger version that
does not exist (the table it described now reads +3 over terms summing to +3),
and a changeset whose stated motivation was the false generated-copy conflict.

Verification runs on the remote runner.

Refs #3914

* fix(#3914): the exemption term was a no-op — the net is +4

Fourth correction to this ledger, and a fourth error of the same kind.

Every version counted removing the n/no-process-exit 'off' entry from the hooks
block as -1. Measured: calculateConfigForFile returns undefined for that rule on
hooks/**. It was never registered there, and no broader block sets it globally,
so the 'off' entry overrode nothing and removing it changed no enforcement at
all. A no-op removal, not a guard removal — the same category error as counting
baseline acknowledgement entries: a thing that is not a guard, in guard units.
It is misattributed too; that block came down in d98b55562 (#3910), already on
next before this branch existed.

So the epic added FOUR guards, not three.

This surfaced from a test of mine that overclaimed. I asserted n/no-process-exit
was error on "all nine CommonJS/hook globs" — but hooks is not one of the nine,
and the rule resolves to undefined there. Fixing the test to match reality is
what exposed the ledger term, which is the argument for tests that assert
identity rather than a comfortable shape.

The hooks state is now pinned explicitly rather than glossed: n/no-process-exit
unregistered, local/require-registered-exit error. It is mildly surprising and
therefore worth a test.

Also updates a pre-existing test that documented the old name-based-only
boundary as intentional. The computed-property strengthening deliberately moves
that boundary — process['exit'](0) was caught by NEITHER rule before — so the
test now asserts the new contract and cites the ADR, rather than being left to
fail or the rule weakened to satisfy it. A contract change should read as
deliberate in the test that pins it.

Verification runs on the remote runner.

ac7587287b fix(#3812): document how Current Position actually resolves a duplicate field (#4017)
* docs(#3812): say that Current Position is single-valued, and pin the behavior that makes it true

#3812 shipped CLOSED with half its acceptance unmet. #3873 delivered cardinality for FRONTMATTER
keys - current_phase/current_plan render as optional at docs/reference/state-md.md:89,91, covered by
tests/gen-state-md-docs.test.cjs:374. The issue's actual ask was the ## Current Position BODY
section, and that never landed. Surfaced by an /adr-phase-coverage audit of epic #3473; the issue
was reopened rather than noted.

The section now states three things: every field is single-valued, the section is overwritten rather
than appended to, and a duplicate resolves to the FIRST occurrence with no warning - so a line
appended in good faith is silently ignored rather than winning. Progress history belongs in
## Performance Metrics, two headings down, and the text now points there.

The third claim is a behavioral promise about the reader, so it was VERIFIED BY EXECUTION before
being written rather than inferred from the issue title:

  stateExtractField(<"Phase: 1 of 5 (First)" ... "Phase: 9 of 9 (Appended later)">, "Phase")
    -> "1 of 5 (First)"

The mechanism is state-document.cjs:405 - the plain-line pattern ^<field>:[ \t]*(.+) carries flags
im with NO g, so String.match returns the first hit. Writing "first wins" without running it would
have repeated the exact error I had to retract twice in this epic already.

A test pins the reader, not the prose. Three rows in tests/state.test.cjs: T1 (load-bearing) asserts
the duplicated case resolves first; T2 asserts the ordinary single-field case still works, so a fix
that only functions when duplicated cannot pass; T3 puts a Plan: line BETWEEN the two Phase: lines
and asserts it resolves independently - negative space, because a reader returning the first line of
the SECTION rather than the first matching FIELD would satisfy T1 alone. Proven to discriminate: a
last-match variant returns "9 of 9 (Appended later)" and T1 reds.

No assertion checks that the document contains a sentence. That is what local/no-source-grep exists
to stop, and it would pin wording that is allowed to improve. The point of the test is that if that
regex ever gains g and a last-match walk, the test fails - instead of the documentation quietly
becoming a lie with nothing to notice.

Prose only, no new heading. docs-state-md-locale-parity compares heading-level sequences by LCS
rather than text, so added paragraphs cannot fail it while an added HEADING would fail all four
locales. The constraint is structural, not stylistic - confirmed by running that comparison after
the edit.

The four locale copies are translated rather than left stale. They are not gate-enforced for prose,
so "nothing fails" was available and is not the same as correct: leaving four documents asserting
something the English one now contradicts is a correctness problem. Code spans and the anchor link
stay untranslated - they name real tokens.

The whole approach rests on one fact, checked first: ## Current Position at :196-208 sits OUTSIDE
every generated marker region (:81-104, :138-151), so a hand edit survives --write. Re-confirmed
after all five edits - gen-state-md-docs --check reports all 6 targets up to date. Had that been
false the fix would have belonged in the generator, and a hand edit would have been silently
reverted.

One real gate failure fixed inline rather than reported: the new test's comments referenced
docs/reference/state-md.md, which was not in that file's registered exempt-docs paths, and
lint-docs-guard-registration failed lint:ci correctly. Registered.

Known limit, named rather than folded in: gsd-tools validate/health still do NOT warn on a
duplicated Phase:. #3812 records that as a "consider", not a requirement, and confirms none of the
nine rules in src/health-diagnostic-rules/{state-consistency,phase-structure}.cts counts
occurrences. Documenting the silent first-match is the delivered scope; making it loud is new scope
and stays unclaimed.

Closes #3812

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

* docs(#3812): the rule I documented was false — replace it with the measured one

An isolated review returned two blockers. Both mine, and the first is the worse
kind: I wrote a falsifiable rule into a reference page and got it wrong.

1. "A duplicate resolves to the FIRST occurrence" is FALSE.

   stateExtractField (src/state-document.cts:401-419) tries BOLD `**F:**` across
   the whole input, THEN plain `^F:`, THEN a pipe-table row. Form precedence
   beats document order. Measured against the built reader, all intra-section:

     Phase: A (plain)  /  **Phase:** B (bold, later)   -> B    LATER WINS
       Phase: A (indented) / Phase: B (plain, later)   -> B    LATER WINS
     Phase: A (plain)  /  | Phase | T (table) |        -> A    first wins

   My original verification tested plain-versus-plain, saw first-wins, and
   generalized to all forms. Measuring one case and claiming the general rule is
   the same error I have had to retract twice already in this epic.

   It is also worse than silence. The sentence told authors an appended line is
   safely ignored; a bold line appended "for emphasis" silently overrides the
   original. Someone trusting the doc would have corrupted their own state file.
   And #3812 never asked for a resolution rule - it asked for single-valued,
   overwrite-not-append, and where history goes. The rule was my unrequested
   addition.

   Replaced with the measured truth: resolution is by FORM (bold anywhere, then
   plain at line-start, then table row), and only WITHIN the winning form does
   the first occurrence win. Both consequences stated plainly - a higher-ranked
   form wins regardless of position, and an indented `Phase:` is invisible to the
   plain form. All five claims in the new paragraph verified by execution before
   being written, including the two I had wrong.

2. The tests tested the wrong case and passed for the wrong reason.

   T1/T3 put the second `Phase:` under `## Somewhere else` - the INTER-section
   case, which #2956 already fixed by scoping. #3812 says verbatim that #2956
   "fixed the inter-section case and never addressed intra-section duplication",
   so the case the new prose describes was untested, and the fixtures passed
   because of section scoping rather than field resolution. They also called bare
   stateExtractField rather than the production chain, T2 could not discriminate
   first from last at all, and no fixture mixed forms - which is precisely why the
   false claim survived to review.

   Rewritten as four rows, all intra-section, all through the real
   stateCurrentPositionSlice -> stateExtractField path: plain-then-plain (first
   wins within a form), plain-then-bold (the bold LATER value wins - the row whose
   absence let the false claim ship), indented-then-plain (indented invisible),
   and sibling-field independence. Each proven to fail against a reader that
   disagrees.

3. Two dead anchors. pt-BR and zh-CN linked `#performance-metrics` while their own
   headings are `### Métricas de Desempenho` and `### 性能指标`. Both fixed to the
   anchor their own heading generates. ja-JP/ko-KR kept the English heading, so
   theirs already resolved.

4. A ja/ko sentence inverted its own meaning. Both rendered "which is the section
   designed to grow" with a bare demonstrative whose nearest referent read as
   Current Position - saying the opposite of the point. Rewritten so the clause
   attaches unambiguously to `## Performance Metrics`.

5. Cross-locale drift, flagged by the implementing agent rather than by me: after
   fixing EN, the four locales still stated the OLD false rule. Four documents
   asserting something measured to be wrong is worse than four saying nothing.
   All four now carry a faithful translation of the corrected paragraph, with
   code spans, each file's own anchor, and the ja/ko referent fix preserved.

Verified: all five claims executed against the built reader; every rewritten test
row proven to discriminate; gen-state-md-docs --check reports all 6 targets up to
date, so the edits stay outside the generated marker regions; locale heading
parity unaffected (prose only, no headings added); build:lib, lint and lint:ci all
exit 0.

* docs(#3812): second false rule on the same page — scope the ranking to the section

A second isolated review found a second false falsifiable claim, and the failure
mode is the same one twice in a row:

  attempt 1: verified plain-vs-plain, wrote a claim about ALL FORMS
  attempt 2: verified bare stateExtractField, wrote a claim about THE DOCUMENT

Both times the claim covered a wider surface than what was actually executed. The
fix each time was not a better sentence, it was executing the surface the
sentence describes.

BLOCKER — "bold `**Phase:**` anywhere in the DOCUMENT wins" is false.

  ## Current Position / Phase: 1 of 5   +   ## Archive / **Phase:** 88

    bare stateExtractField(whole doc) -> "88 (other section)"
    PRODUCTION (slice then extract)   -> "1 of 5 (in section)"

#2956's section slice means production never hands another section to the
matcher; a bold line in `## Archive`, or in the YAML frontmatter, is simply not
seen. The ranking is real but scoped: it applies WITHIN `## Current Position`.
I verified against the bare function and wrote a claim about the system.

Every existing test placed its bold line inside the section, which is exactly why
nothing contradicted the claim. T5 now puts a bold `**Phase:**` in `## Archive`
and asserts production returns the in-section plain value, with the unscoped
reader asserted to DISAGREE so the row proves the scoping rather than assuming
it.

BLOCKER — the changeset still shipped the ORIGINAL retracted claim.

I corrected the page and left the release note saying "resolves to the first
occurrence ... a second entry added in good faith is silently ignored". The note
contradicted the page it announces, and the release note is what most people
actually read. Rewritten to the corrected rule.

MEDIUM — the concession was inverted. It read "wins even if it comes FIRST in the
file", which is the vacuous direction; the surprising case, and the one the very
next clause illustrates with an APPENDED bold line, is "even if it comes LAST".
All four locales reproduced the inversion faithfully, so it was an EN-source
defect rather than translation drift.

Two sharp edges now named, both measured: a bold `**Phase:**` followed only by
trailing spaces resolves to an EMPTY STRING and does not fall through to a valid
plain line below (T6 pins it); and `| **Phase:** | 3 of 4 |` short-circuits to the
bold form and returns the literal `"| 3 of 4 |"`. A page that teaches form
ranking has to say where the ranking bites.

Also fixed: all five files labelled the link `## Performance Metrics` while the
heading is `### Performance Metrics`. Anchors resolved correctly everywhere; only
the label's level was wrong.

Every clause in the final paragraph re-verified through the PRODUCTION chain
(stateCurrentPositionSlice -> stateExtractField), clause by clause, before being
written: bold in another section does not win; bold in frontmatter does not win;
bold appended last does win; first wins within one form; trailing-space bold
yields empty. All four locales carry the same corrected rule.

gen-state-md-docs --check reports all 6 targets up to date; heading counts
unchanged at 20/20 across all five files, so locale heading-parity is untouched;
build:lib, lint and lint:ci all exit 0.

bf8905fcc9 fix(#4012): a hang never emits the events I was listening for
The init marker settled it. The diagnostic reported "THE REPORTER LOADED BUT
RECORDED NO TEST EVENTS — the events file contains only the reporter's own
reporter:init marker", which refutes the reporter-never-loaded hypothesis and
leaves exactly one explanation.

The runner spawns a child process per test file and surfaces a subtest's
test:start / test:pass / test:fail to the parent's reporter only once the child
REPORTS that test — which happens when it completes. The fixture hangs forever,
so it never completes, so it never reports. I had recorded exactly those three
event types: the precise set that a hang guarantees you will never see. The
feature could not have worked for the case it was built for.

test:enqueue and test:dequeue are emitted by the runner as it queues and begins
each file, independent of anything inside finishing. test:dequeue is what
actually means "in flight", and it is now the primary signal, with test:start
kept as a secondary one. A file is in flight when it has been dequeued and has
no terminal event.

The four branches now describe states that are all real: the events file absent
(reporter never loaded); the init marker alone (the runner dequeued nothing at
all — genuinely surprising now rather than the expected outcome); everything
dequeued and terminated (the files finished and the process hung afterwards, a
handle leak); and one or more dequeued-but-unterminated files, named, which is
the case this whole feature exists to report.

Verified against the exact shape the real hang produces, by executing
analyzeChunkEvents on a synthetic events file: init + enqueue + dequeue with no
terminal event reports hangs.test.cjs as in flight, and appending a test:pass
clears it. Four more unit tests cover the ordering and multi-file cases with no
subprocess, so this logic is now checkable without a runner round-trip — which
matters, because every defect in this feature so far was visible only remotely.

T1 is untouched and should now pass for the right reason.

444137e63a fix(#4012): make the artifact say whether the reporter ever loaded
Down to 3 remote failures, all one chain. The explicit no-events reporting is
working — the diagnostic now states the events file does not exist, instead of
silently printing the generic message. But it then ASSERTED a cause: "the child
was killed before the reporter wrote even one event (process/spawn startup
stall, not a test hang)". That was a guess dressed as a finding, and the fixture
contradicts it: it starts a real test, so test:start should fire in milliseconds
against a 2000ms budget.

Two hypotheses remained and I could not separate them locally, because the local
test runner is hook-blocked here: either the custom reporter never LOADS in the
child, or it loads and no event reaches it before the SIGKILL.

Rather than guess a third time, the artifact now answers it. The reporter
appends a reporter:init line as its first action, before consuming anything, so
the file's contents discriminate: absent means the reporter never loaded;
init-only means it loaded and saw no test events; init plus events means it
works. The diagnostic has a branch for each and, where the cause is genuinely
unresolved, names both possibilities instead of picking one.

Also passes the reporter as a file:// URL via pathToFileURL. Node documents the
--test-reporter value as an import()-style specifier, and a bare absolute path
is not a portable one — notably on Windows. That is a correctness fix whichever
hypothesis holds, and it is a live candidate for the first. FIXED_OVERHEAD is
derived by reducing over the actual argv strings, so the longer URL is accounted
automatically.

Verified by execution, not assumption: composing the reporter against an EMPTY
event stream writes exactly one line, the init marker. That is the whole point
of the marker, so it is pinned by a test rather than left to inspection.

T1 stays red and untouched.

5504724d7a fix(#4012): the reporter body must return nully, not an iterable
Fourth failure on this feature, and this one was caused by the previous fix's
lint workaround.

  TypeError [ERR_INVALID_RETURN_VALUE]: Expected nully to be returned from the
  "body" function but got an instance of Array.

When stream.compose is given an async FUNCTION as the body, that function must
return nully. The reporter ended with 'return []' under a comment asserting
Node "still requires the exported function to return an iterable" — exactly
backwards, and the direct cause of 41 failures across every run-tests.cjs
invocation.

That return existed only to dodge ESLint's require-yield after the previous
commit converted async function* to async function. A lint workaround became a
runtime crash, and the comment written to justify it stated the opposite of the
contract. Both are now corrected to what the runtime actually does.

Verified by EXECUTION rather than by reading: composing the real reporter
against a fake event stream completes with no error and leaves both handled
events durably on disk, with the ignored event type skipped. The failing form
was reproduced the same way first, so the diagnosis is not inferred from the
stack trace alone.

The new unit test requires the reporter directly and asserts the returned value
is nully — the assertion that would have caught this before it reached the
runner — plus the exact NDJSON written. No subprocess, so this half of the
feature is verifiable without a full runner pass, which matters because every
defect in this feature so far has only been observable remotely.

T1 remains untouched and red.

7f2af28639 fix(#4012): the reporter sink must be a regular file, not devNull
Third failure on this feature, and this one broke everything rather than just
the diagnostic: 43 failures across every run-tests.cjs invocation.

  Error: EINVAL: invalid argument, fsync
  Emitted 'error' event on WriteStream instance

Node opens a WriteStream for a --test-reporter-destination and FSYNCS it on
close. fsync on /dev/null is EINVAL — it is a character device, not a regular
file. So os.devNull is not a usable reporter destination at all, and every
chunk crashed on exit.

The sink only ever needed to be a regular file that stays empty, since the
reporter writes its real output through appendFileSync to the path in
GSD_RUN_TESTS_EVENTS_FILE. It is now one fixed file inside the existing events
dir, pre-created rather than relying on the stream's create-on-open, and left
empty by design. One sink for the whole run, not per chunk, so its path length
stays constant — reporterOverhead feeds FIXED_OVERHEAD, which is computed once
before chunking, and a variable-length path would silently mis-account the
Windows argv ceiling.

The comment that named devNull now says why the destination must be a regular
file, so this does not get re-optimized back into the same crash.

Reaching for devNull was the mistake: it looks like the obviously correct way
to discard output, and it is, for a pipe or an fd — but not for something Node
is going to fsync. Each of the three failures on this feature was a different
edge of the same assumption, that a reporter destination behaves like ordinary
output.

The regression test asserts the closest externally observable consequence — a
normal run must not surface the EINVAL/fsync text. The argv construction lives
inside main() with no exported seam, and the sink is swept before a test could
stat it; adding a seam purely to assert that is left out rather than reshaping
production code for the test. Stated plainly rather than implied.

The failing T1 is untouched and still red.

0abd137ec7 fix(#4012): the events reporter has to survive SIGKILL
The remote run proved the instrumentation did not work. Timing landed —
"chunk 1/1 was killed after 2006ms" — but the in-flight-file naming produced
nothing and fell through to the pre-existing generic message. The feature I
wrote to diagnose a kill was itself destroyed by the kill.

Root cause, confirmed rather than assumed. The reporter yielded strings, which
node pipes into the --test-reporter-destination WriteStream. That stream
BUFFERS. execFileSync's timeout sends SIGKILL, which is uncatchable and gives
nothing a chance to flush, so the events sat in a buffer that died with the
child. The parent's own timer reported correctly because it lives in the
parent — which is exactly why half the feature looked fine.

The reporter now writes each event with fs.appendFileSync, unbuffered and
durable at the moment it happens, to a path passed through
GSD_RUN_TESTS_EVENTS_FILE. Env vars do not count toward the Windows
32,767-char argv ceiling, so moving the path out of argv also REDUCES
FIXED_OVERHEAD; the accounting moved with it rather than being left stale. The
destination is now a fixed devNull sink that stays empty by design.

Silence was the reason this was invisible for a whole run. Failing to read the
events file now says so explicitly, and distinguishes a file that could not be
read at all from one that exists but is empty — the generic fallback firing
quietly is what let a broken feature look like a working one. A write is
unbuffered but not atomic, so a kill can still interleave a partial line; the
reader tolerates exactly one unparsable trailing line and reports the complete
ones before it.

The failing T1 was left red and untouched rather than weakened to pass. Three
new unit tests cover the reader directly, with no subprocess, so the parsing
half is verifiable without a full runner pass: missing file, existing-but-empty
file, and a truncated final line.

Also adds ndjson-reporter.cjs to GSD_SCRIPTS_LIB_FILES in bin/install.js —
scripts/lib/ ships, and omitting it meant the file would install everywhere and
orphan on uninstall. That single omission caused 4 of the 7 remote failures.

8497833a15 fix(#4012): a killed chunk now names the file that was hanging
The per-chunk timeout fired correctly but reported almost nothing, so every
diagnosis cost a CI round-trip. run-tests.cjs logged chunk START only — no
timestamp, no duration, no end line — then on a kill printed all ~55 basenames
and asked the operator to work out whether output kept flowing (slow) or
stopped early (hang). It could not name the in-flight file because the child is
spawned with stdio inherit, deliberately, per #3597/#1051.

Three additions.

Per-chunk elapsed timing on every path, not just failures, so drift toward the
cap is visible before it becomes a kill. Every timing number in the
investigation behind this had to be reconstructed by hand from GitHub log
timestamps.

A second, machine-readable reporter running ALONGSIDE the human one, writing
NDJSON to its own file. On a kill that file is read back and the files with a
test:start and no matching completion are named, with the staleness of the last
event, so "stopped 480s ago at X" reads differently from "still emitting at
kill". stdio stays inherit and nothing is piped or tee'd — the maxBuffer and
live-output risks that shaped the original design are untouched.

Ranking of the killed chunk's files by known weight, flagging any absent from
tests/test-timings.json, since an unweighted file is an unknown quantity.

Two details that are correct rather than lucky. Passing --test-reporter at all
replaces node's implicit default, so the human reporter is now named explicitly
and reproduces node's own selection (spec on a TTY, tap otherwise) — visible
output is unchanged. And the destination path's chunk index is zero-padded to a
fixed width because FIXED_OVERHEAD is computed ONCE before chunking; a
variable-length path would have silently mis-accounted the Windows 32,767-char
argv ceiling and reintroduced #3597. The reporter flags are added to
FIXED_OVERHEAD exactly as --test-force-exit is.

The multi-reporter pairing and the stream.compose reporter contract were
confirmed against Node's v24 documentation, not recalled — the first draft
carried them as an unverified assumption and said so.

Also corrects a stale comment claiming the 600s cap sits "below the 20m job
cap". The lane is sharded 3x at timeout-minutes: 45; the windows shards were at
19m when chunk 1/5 was killed on b351c83e0 and c3e667df3. The per-chunk cap is
now the binding constraint, and the old silent-cancel model leads to the wrong
conclusion.

ab69b9ce56 enhance(#3987): guard slug re-derivation and the swallowed-precondition shape — §8.5 was guardable after all (#3999)
* feat(#3987): guard slug re-derivation, and record why the swallow shape cannot be guarded

Epic #3473's Decision 1 requires the wrong call site be UNREPRESENTABLE. #3984
measured that two of the nine §8 rules had no guard at all and recorded both as
"Shipped - test-covered". This closes one of them, proves the other cannot be
closed the same way, and corrects two false claims I merged yesterday.

1. §8.3 - scripts/lint-slug-derivation-drift.cjs.

   generateSlugInternal (src/core-utils.cts) is the canonical owner; #3883 removed
   11 inline copies. Nothing prevented a twelfth: no slug guard existed in
   scripts/ or eslint-rules/.

   The detector is STATEMENT-scoped and matches the shape the real copies took -
   one statement carrying BOTH .replace(<negated class>, '-') and
   .replace(/^-+|-+$/, ''). Statement scoping is what buys the precision: the
   loose LINE-level form yields 18 hits with 7 unrelated, a material
   false-positive rate. Measured on the tree: 5 flags, 2 TRUE, 3 SANCTIONED,
   0 FALSE.

   The three sanctioned sites are allowlisted with a reason each, following
   lint-phase-enumeration-drift's form rather than a bare denylist. The owner
   itself is listed explicitly even though it escapes by construction - an
   implicit escape is a latent bug, and the next person to touch line 192 would
   not know the guard depended on it.

2. Both TRUE positives were live defects, not style.

   scripts/qa-smell-ratchet.cjs reproduced the canonical formula including the
   60-cap but trimmed BEFORE truncating - the #2849 bug - and never
   transliterated. The divergence is total, not cosmetic:

     canonical  "privet-mir-privet-mir-privet-mir-privet-mir-privet-mir-prive"
     inline     "tail"

   Cyrillic collapsed to nothing and only the ASCII remainder survived, so the
   ratchet was keying on wrong identifiers for any non-ASCII input.

   tests/planning-inspect.test.cjs carried a helper whose comment claimed parity
   with getPhaseDirFromPhaseId. That function now transliterates; the helper did
   not, so the test asserted against a stale formula while looking correct. Both
   now route through the seam.

3. §8.5 - measured, and deliberately NOT shipped.

   A candidate detector (swallowing catch + errno-retry-set test in the same
   function) gives 26 flags across 11 functions: 0 TRUE, 26 FALSE. Every one is
   best-effort unlink/rm/close cleanup, lost-rename-race backoff, or a deliberate
   null fallback. The file-scoped variant is worse at 71.

   Worse than the noise: the only known true instance was removed by #3885, so
   there is NO POSITIVE CONTROL - the guard cannot be shown capable of failing,
   which this repo requires of every drift guard. Shipping it would add a guard
   nobody can trust and nobody can test.

   The ADR now records the measurement and the reason, keeps §8.5 at
   "Shipped - test-covered", and points at the #1884 regression test as what
   actually enforces it. An honest "not detectable at acceptable precision" beats
   a guard that only ever passes.

4. Two claims I merged into the ADR yesterday were wrong.

   §8.9 said 17 of 19 subsumed children have a test citing their issue number,
   and that #3364 and #3812 have none. Both halves are false, and the claim came
   from a NUMBER-GREP - inside an amendment whose own subject is that a text match
   is not a fact.

     #3364 IS cited: tests/runtime-marker-resolution.test.cjs:107,
       T3 installMarkerResolvesWhenEnvAndConfigAbsent_3897 (#3364), asserting at
       :115-119.
     #3812 IS covered: tests/gen-state-md-docs.test.cjs:374, asserting at :382.

   Corrected to 19 of 19.

   #3812 does carry a real finding, though a different one: it is PARTIALLY
   DELIVERED on a CLOSED issue. The shipped fix declares cardinality for
   frontmatter keys, but #3812's stated acceptance was about the
   ## Current Position BODY section, and docs/reference/state-md.md:196-208 still
   has no normative single-valued/overwrite sentence and no pointer to
   ## Performance Metrics for history. Recorded in the ADR and left for #3812 to
   re-open - fixing it here would bury a scope question inside an unrelated PR.

Note on B6: this ADDS a guard, and B6 said the net count must fall. #3951 already
amended that clause - a guard ledger is a claim about COVERAGE, not count - which
is what makes adding this one honest rather than contradictory.

Verified: the guard flags 0 on the fixed tree, and PROVES IT CAN FAIL - a fresh
inline copy planted in src/ makes it exit 1 naming the exact statement. All three
sanctioned sites were confirmed exempt BY the allowlist, not by accident of the
pattern, by re-attributing each to a non-exempt path and watching it flag.
build:lib, lint and lint:ci all exit 0.

* fix(#3987): §8.5 IS guardable — I was wrong, and the guard found a live defect

Two orthogonal reviews. The correctness review overturned my central judgment,
and it was right.

1. I concluded §8.5 was "not detectable at acceptable precision" and recorded
   that in the ADR. False.

   My evidence was 26 flags / 0 TRUE / 26 FALSE. The reviewer pointed out what I
   had not: all 26 false positives are CLEANUP verbs - rmSync 54, unlinkSync 43,
   closeSync 17, chmodSync 12 - and the obvious narrower predicate was never
   tried. A swallowed cleanup is legitimate best-effort. A swallowed CREATION is
   a precondition silently lost, which is exactly the #1884 shape.

   Measured properly, in three stages:
     swallowing catch                                     911
     + try-block calls a CREATION verb                     24
     + enclosing function references a *_ERRNOS set         0

   0 flags, 0 false positives. The `*_ERRNOS` naming key is empirically total -
   all 10 retry/tolerate sets in src/ follow it.

   My second claim was worse. I wrote that no positive control exists because
   #3885 removed the only true instance, so the guard "cannot be shown capable of
   failing". That is self-refuting: this very PR's slug guard proves-it-can-fail
   on a synthetic tree, and the pre-#3885 blob is available as exactly such a
   fixture. It is now the control, and it works in both directions - the rule
   flags 0c43d853e^:src/planning-workspace.cts at line 210, the line the fix
   commit's own message cites, and reports zero on the post-fix code.

   I stopped at the first negative result on the option that meant less work.

   Shipped as eslint-rules/no-swallowed-precondition.cjs, wired into the existing
   src/**/*.cts ESLint block rather than a scripts/lint-*-drift.cjs: no script in
   scripts/ requires typescript/espree/acorn, and scripts/ ships to consumers, so
   a .cts-parsing standalone guard would add a devDep at consumer runtime. The
   ESLint block already parses .cts for free.

2. The guard immediately found a live defect of the same class.

   src/capability-lock.cts swallowed a mkdirSync on the lock directory, then
   acquireLock classified the follow-on failure as `code !== 'EEXIST' → return
   null`. A real EACCES/EROFS makes openSync(lockPath,'wx') fail ENOENT, which is
   not EEXIST - so a fatal filesystem error was laundered into "lock
   unavailable". Same defect as #1884, different laundering target.

   Fixed the way #3885 fixed #1884: the creation failure propagates. Regression
   test proven fail-first by hand - with the fix stashed, EACCES was laundered to
   null; restored, it throws.

   The strict rule does NOT catch this shape (its errno classification is an
   inline literal, not a named set). The rule is deliberately left strict: the
   broadened form had 2 false positives - capability-lock.cts:408, the deliberate
   EEXIST steal protocol, and commonjs-marker.cts:131, which returns a distinct
   documented outcome. The gap is noted in code rather than papered over with a
   noisy predicate.

3. The security review found the slug guard's exemption FAILED OPEN.

   currentFunction was never reset, and only a column-0 `function` declaration
   updated it, so exemption bled from an allowlisted declaration to the next one.
   generateSlugInternal exempted 50 lines for an 11-line function. A
   re-derivation planted anywhere in that window was silently exempt - the same
   fail-open shape that produced a blocker in #3897, and an allowlist is a
   SUBTRACTION so a mismatch fails open by construction.

   Extent is now tracked by real brace depth, and a test plants a violation after
   each allowlisted function's real closing brace and asserts it IS flagged.

4. Also from the security review: the guard was a CI-DoS and narrower than I
   claimed.

   Its unbounded [^\]]* was re-scanned from every `.replace(/[^` start: 54.3s on
   a 1.28MB line. It imported MAX_REGEX_LITERAL_LEN and never called
   readRegexLiteralAt - the bounded tokenizer that exists for exactly this. Now
   routed through it with a 2MB file cap: ~200ms.

   15 of 25 genuine re-derivations evaded. Widened to catch replaceAll, {1,},
   \s*-wrapped classes, escaped ], literal new RegExp(...), five trim spellings,
   .split().join(), and multi-line .replace( args - still 0 false positives.
   Two forms still evade and are documented as deliberate gaps with negative
   tests: the two-statement/temp-var form and new RegExp built from a variable.
   Both need data flow, and guessing at it is how a guard becomes noisy.

   Also fixed: // inside a string truncated the line, a ; inside the collapse
   regex split the statement (a one-character bypass), and SCAN_EXT omitted
   .mjs/.tsx/.jsx.

5. A regression I introduced, caught by the same review.

   qa-smell-ratchet.cjs top-level-required a build output that is not
   git-tracked, so the script hard-failed MODULE_NOT_FOUND before build:lib -
   including for --help, which previously had no build dependency. The require is
   now lazy at the point of use.

6. Four of my own tests were vacuous or weak.

   T9's input yielded an identical string under the buggy formula, so it passed
   on the implementation it was meant to catch. T12 compared maxLen null vs 60 on
   an 18-char name, where they agree trivially. T9-T12 all asserted
   generateSlugInternal directly, so they would pass unchanged if both call-site
   fixes were reverted. And prove-it-can-fail was scoped to scanRepo, never the
   CLI - dropping main()'s exit-code line would have kept every row green.

   All rewritten with discriminating inputs, per-call-site rows that red when the
   fix is reverted, 59/60/61 boundaries, an entirely-non-alphanumeric row, and a
   CLI row asserting the real subprocess exit code and both sanitizeForReport
   sites.

Verified: both guards flag 0 on the tree and both prove they can fail. The
swallow rule's control is confirmed in both directions - pre-#1884 shape flagged,
post-#3885 shape clean. build:lib, lint and lint:ci all exit 0.

* docs(#3987): record that §8.5 IS guardable, and correct a correction that made a ledger worse

Three ADR corrections, two of them to text this branch wrote hours ago.

§8.5 advances to Enforced. Its previous entry said the rule was not detectable
at acceptable precision. That was wrong twice: the 26 false positives were
uniformly CLEANUP verbs, which is a reason to narrow the predicate rather than
abandon it, and the claim that no positive control exists was self-refuting - the
pre-#3885 blob is available as a fixture and this repo's own guards prove-it-can-
fail on synthetic trees. Narrowed to creation verbs plus a *_ERRNOS reference:
911 -> 24 -> 0 flags, 0 false positives, control confirmed in both directions.
The entry keeps the wrong reasoning visible, because a high false-positive count
being evidence the predicate is wrong - not evidence the rule is unguardable - is
the transferable part, and the first negative result is most seductive when it is
also the answer that means less work.

§8.9's correction is itself corrected. The original 17-of-19 claim was CORRECT
for the predicate it stated; this branch silently swapped cited -> covered and
declared 19 of 19. #3812 appears in zero test files. Changing what a word means
to make a ledger read better is a worse failure than the miscount it claimed to
repair. Both predicates are now reported separately - 18 of 19 cited, 19 of 19
covered - because §8.9 asks for a test NAMING each child, so 18 is the number
that answers it. #3812 is also re-opened for real, rather than the first draft's
promise that it could be.

§8.3 stays Shipped - test-covered rather than advancing. The slug guard catches
the copy-paste class and a dozen variants, but two forms still evade by decision
(temp-var split, new RegExp from a variable) because both need data flow. Naming
them keeps the status honest: the wrong call site is much harder to write, not
unrepresentable.

* fix(#3987): replace my own wall-clock assertion, and close the guard that let me write it

CI went red on ubuntu shard 2/3. The failing test was mine, and the failure was
the test, not the code.

  a 1.28MB line ... scans in well under a second (was 54.3s pre-fix)  7368ms

It asserted ELAPSED TIME. ~200ms locally, 7.4s on a shared CI runner. The bound
introduced for the MAJOR-2 DoS fix works - 7.4s against a 54.3s pre-fix baseline
is the fix doing its job - but an absolute wall-clock threshold on shared
hardware is a race, not an assertion. CLAUDE.md says so directly: "Clock Seams:
Do not assert on wall-clock time." I wrote the anti-pattern the project bans, in
a PR about guards.

Raising the threshold would only move the flake. The row now asserts a
DETERMINISTIC bound instead: an instrumentation seam on drift-scan.cjs counts
readRegexLiteralAt calls and characters examined, and the test asserts
charsExamined stays under an absolute ceiling. Measured on the same 1.28MB
fixture: 120,000 calls, 48,000,000 chars - two orders under the ceiling. The
pathological fixture is kept; only the thing being asserted changed.

Proven to still discriminate: with MAX_REGEX_LITERAL_LEN raised to simulate the
unbounded pre-fix behavior, the same fixture does not complete in 120 seconds,
versus ~0.3s bounded. It is a real regression test, not a tautology.

Then the second half, which is the same defect class as the rest of this PR.

  eslint-rules/no-elapsed-assertion.cjs matched only the EXACT identifiers
  ^(elapsed|duration|took|ms)$.

I used `elapsedMs`. It evaded the rule entirely. tookMs, durationMs,
elapsedTime and msElapsed evade the same way. A guard that cannot see the
violation it exists to catch is exactly what this PR is about - it just happened
to be an existing rule rather than one of the two I came here for, and it was
found because I committed the violation it should have blocked.

Widened to /^(?:elapsed|duration|took|ms)(?:[A-Z]\w*)?$/ plus a narrow
start/endMs delta pair. Deliberately NOT a blanket *Ms suffix: a first draft did
that and produced 2 false positives on `timeoutMs` in
plan-phase-stall-detection, which is a configured timeout and not a measurement.
Verified negative on params, items, forms, terms, dirnames, timeoutMs,
cacheTtlMs and staleAfterMs.

Measured over the five files carrying camelCase timing identifiers: 0 true
positives beyond my own, so nothing else needed rewriting. The rule's own test
file gains a row asserting `elapsedMs` flags, proven to fail against the
pre-widening rule - the same prove-it-can-fail standard both new guards in this
PR are held to.

* fix(#3987): a comment I added leaked a Claude reference into every runtime install

The runner went red with 4 failures in tests/install.test.cjs:

  Leaking: .hermes/scripts/lib/drift-scan.cjs
  Leaking: .qwen/scripts/lib/drift-scan.cjs

The instrumentation seam added for the deterministic bound carried a comment
naming CLAUDE.md as the source of the no-wall-clock-assertions rule. scripts/
SHIPS to consumers, so that comment was installed verbatim into hermes and qwen
trees, and the install suite scans for exactly this - a Claude-specific reference
reaching a non-Claude runtime.

The rule is real and worth citing; the filename is not portable. The comment now
says "this repo's test rules" and states the rule inline, which is what a reader
of an installed tree actually needs anyway.

Worth noting what caught it: not lint, and not the two guards this PR adds - the
install suite's full-tree scan, which exists precisely because a shipped file is
read by runtimes that have never heard of CLAUDE.md. Same lesson as the rest of
this PR from the other direction: the check that matters is the one that can see
the surface where the defect actually lands.

* fix(#3987): a test fixture swallowed 46 git exit codes and produced a silent false negative

CI red on ubuntu shard 3/3:

  tests/health-validation.test.cjs:2029
  expected exactly one W024, got [{"code":"W006", ...}]

Not caused by this branch, and the evidence is decisive rather than a hunch: the
SIBLING test at :2039 builds the IDENTICAL fixture with the identical
commitsAhead and asserts the same thing, and it PASSED in the same process, same
file, same run. Same input, both outcomes - which rules out logic, ordering,
sharding and environment, and leaves a per-invocation nondeterministic failure
inside one fixture build.

The mechanism is an unchecked exit code, 46 times over. The W024 fixture performs
~46 runGit spawns and never checks a single one. runGit returns failures as DATA
and never throws, so one silently-failed `git commit` yields 19 commits instead
of 20, or a silently-empty `git rev-parse HEAD` yields a blank state_head. Either
drops readStateHeadFreshness below the advisory threshold, W024 never fires, and
only W006 remains.

Reproduced exactly: 20 commits -> ["W006","W024"]; 19 -> ["W006"]; blank
state_head -> ["W006"] - byte-identical to the CI assertion dump.

The arithmetic is what hid it. At threshold-1 and threshold+1 a lost commit still
produces the asserted answer; only the exactly-at-threshold cases sit one commit
from a false negative. Two of the seven tests are in that position, and CI hit
one. That is why it had never been seen before, and why it surfaced now: this
branch adds three test files, which reshuffles the cost-weighted shard partition
and moved this file into a chunk where the latent flake fired.

My files were checked as suspects first and cleared: all fixtures mkdtemp-unique,
no process.chdir, no .planning/ writes, no git spawns, and node --test gives
per-file process isolation regardless.

Fixed at the cause, not the symptom. A mustGit wrapper throws on a non-zero exit
with the command, exit code and stderr, and all nine call sites route through it.
The fixture now asserts its OWN preconditions before the assertion under test
runs - the seed head is non-empty, and `git rev-list --count <seed>..HEAD` equals
the requested commitsAhead - so a fixture that did not build what it claims fails
loudly as a FIXTURE ERROR naming got-versus-asked, instead of quietly handing a
weaker input to the assertion.

Proven: dropping one commit now raises
  FIXTURE ERROR: requested commitsAhead=19 but git rev-list --count reports 18
where it previously produced a silent ["W006"] pass-for-the-wrong-reason. 64/64
tests in that block pass unperturbed.

Deliberately NOT done: no threshold change, no retry, no loosened assertion, no
skip. The assertion was correct; the input was silently wrong.

Worth naming, because it is the same shape from the other side: this PR ships
eslint-rules/no-swallowed-precondition.cjs, whose entire subject is a swallowed
precondition failure being laundered into a plausible downstream outcome. This
fixture is that defect in test code - the swallowed git failure was laundered
into a legitimate-looking "W024 did not fire". The rule does not cover test
fixtures, so the connection is noted at the fix site rather than enforced.

* fix(#3987): two tests wrote to committed files; the shard packing decided when that mattered

CI red on windows-latest shard 1/3 only:

  "gen-exit-code-registry: CLI" > "a --write run redirected to a tmpdir leaves
  every committed artifact untouched"
  AssertionError: hooks artifact must be untouched

The Linux runner passed the same sha at 40425/40425. It is Linux-only, so a
Windows-scheduling defect is structurally invisible to it.

Root cause, established by measurement rather than inference.

tests/cli-exit.test.cjs appended a corruption marker to the REAL COMMITTED
hooks/lib/exit-code-registry.js, held it corrupted across a full subprocess, and
restored it in a finally. tests/exit-code-registry.test.cjs reads that same real
file before and after its own subprocess and asserts byte equality. If it samples
while the other test holds the file corrupted, it fails. The landmine is
pre-existing, from 2ea5efc15 (#3911).

What this branch changed is WHEN the two run together. scripts/run-tests.cjs
shards by cost-weighted LPT over the sorted unit list, so adding three test files
repacks the bins:

  merge-base c3e667df3 (838 files): cli-exit -> shard 1, exit-code-registry -> shard 3
  HEAD       03b342601 (841 files): BOTH in shard 1, same argv chunk, one
                                    node --test process, concurrent

Co-location is necessary but not sufficient - Linux shard 1/3 also had both and
passed. Windows loses because TEST_CONCURRENCY defaults to 2 there against 4
elsewhere, spawn cost is ~10x, and the sibling corruptor holds one of only two
slots through a ~90s tsc compile. That turns a sub-second overlap into seconds.

Not a path-separator or case-sensitivity issue, and not CRLF - .gitattributes
pins * text=auto eol=lf. Redirection was not at fault either: ensureScriptsOut
derives all five --out flags correctly and gen-exit-code-registry.cjs honours
them with no __dirname escape.

Fixed at the cause: no test writes to a committed file any more. Both corruptors
now copy to a mkdtempSync tmpdir, corrupt the COPY, and point the generator at
it. Repinning or reordering the shards would have turned CI green while leaving
the landmine armed for the next reshuffle.

That required closing an inconsistency between two sibling generators.
gen-exit-code-registry.cjs already accepts
--out/--scripts-out/--hooks-out/--dts-out/--sh-out and honours them under
--check; gen-hooks-cli-exit.cjs hardcoded OUTPUT_PATH and had no flag surface at
all, so its corruptor could not be redirected anywhere. It now takes --out in the
same style, honoured by both --write and --check, and is a no-op when absent -
verified: a bare --check on the default path still exits 0.

ensureScriptsOut moved to tests/helpers/exit-code-artifact-flags.cjs and both
test files import it. Hand-rolling a second copy of the flag derivation would
have been a re-derivation of exactly the kind this PR ships a guard against.

Verified: both tests still detect corruption (proven by defeating the check and
watching them red, with a positive control showing an uncorrupted copy exits 0);
SHA-256 of hooks/lib/exit-code-registry.js and hooks/lib/cli-exit.js identical
before and after running both rewritten bodies, and git reports nothing under
hooks/ modified - that is the property that was violated. A repo-wide search for
the corrupt-then-restore-in-finally shape against hooks/ found no other
instances.

One detail worth recording: the tmpdir test keeps --declaration pointed at the
real committed declaration rather than copying it, because the generated banner
embeds path.relative(REPO_ROOT, declarationPath) - copying it would produce a
false drift unrelated to the injected corruption. The declaration is read-only on
that path and never written.

dd4f179672 feat(#3970): per-task external-tracker content-resolution seam (#4000)
* feat(#3970): per-task external-tracker content-resolution seam

Implements ADR-3646 (Phase 1, #3970): a `<task tracker-id="...">` attribute
plus a new optional `taskContentResolver` capability-manifest field let a
capability resolve a task's action/verify/acceptance-criteria/read_first/done
content from an external issue tracker instead of PLAN.md's inline body.

- src/plan-document.cts: parses the `tracker-id` attribute into `PlanTask.trackerId`
- src/task-content-resolution.cts: new leaf module — split/find/build/resolve,
  with a hard-halt (throw) contract on ambiguous/failed/timeout/malformed
  resolution, never a silent fallback to possibly-stale inline text
- src/task-command-router.cts: new `task resolve-content --plan --task-id --raw`
  CLI verb wiring the module into a real process exit code
- gsd-core/bin/lib/capability-validator.cjs: validates the new
  `taskContentResolver` manifest field (feature-role only, cross-capability
  trackerPrefix uniqueness)
- gsd-core/workflows/execute-plan.md, gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md,
  docs/reference/capability-manifest.md: wire the seam into the per-task loop
  and document it as a new `execute:task` point outside the existing
  contribution/step/gate vocabulary (unconditional in autonomous mode)

Closes #3970

* fix(#3970): gate checkpoint tasks out of content resolution, close trackerPrefix grammar parity gap, cover path-traversal guard

Standards/Spec code-review pass on the task-content-resolution seam (ADR-3646
Phase 1) found three defects:

1. execute-plan.md's task-content-resolution bullet fired on any
   tracker-id-bearing task with no check that it wasn't type="checkpoint:*",
   contradicting ADR-3646 Decision 1 (a checkpoint task must never enter
   resolve-content). plan-document.cts already parses trackerId: null
   unconditionally for checkpoint tasks; only the workflow prose needed the
   fix, so the bullet now explicitly excludes checkpoint tasks.

2. task-content-resolution.cts's parseResolverDeclaration accepted any
   non-empty trackerPrefix with no grammar check, while capability-
   validator.cjs's KEBAB_RE enforces kebab-case at install time — a
   Generative Fix Divergence gap. Added the same grammar (as a literal
   regex, documented as intentionally not shared across the .cts/.cjs build
   boundary) plus a parity test asserting the two surfaces agree across a
   valid/invalid trackerPrefix table.

3. task-command-router.cts's routeResolveContent path-traversal guard on
   --plan had zero test coverage. Added a test exercising a
   ../../../etc/passwit-shaped path and asserting the USAGE rejection names
   the offending path.

* fix(#3970): sanitize resolver diagnostics and cap resolver timeoutMs

Two findings caught by an isolated security-review pass on the task
content resolution seam:

- ResolverFailedError/ResolverMalformedOutputError embedded raw,
  unsanitized subprocess stderr/stdout (attacker/model-influenced via
  the tracker-id argv token) into .message. A hostile or buggy resolver
  could smuggle a newline plus a forged "Error: " line, or terminal
  escape sequences, into a diagnostic io.cjs's error() writes verbatim
  to stderr. Fixed at the constructor (task-content-resolution.cts) via
  io.cjs's existing formatDiagnosticToken(), so every caller of
  resolveTaskContent gets a safe .message by construction.

- capability-validator.cjs's validateTaskContentResolverFields had no
  upper bound on taskContentResolver.invoke.timeoutMs, letting a
  manifest declare an effectively unbounded value and defeat the
  "bounded subprocess" design intent. Added a 120000ms ceiling specific
  to this field, without touching the shared isPositiveIntegerMs()
  helper (still used unbounded by the reviewer lane's timeoutFloorMs
  and probe timeoutMs).

* fix(#3970): fix gsd-test failures — stale prose allowlist line and stderr-vs-message assertion

gsd-test (remote dockerized matrix) came back red with 5 failures on this
PR; all five are real defects, fixed here.

- tests/no-bare-gsd-tools-command-position.test.cjs: PROSE_ALLOWLIST's
  execute-plan.md entry pointed at line 415, which ffc190df4's
  checkpoint-exclusion caveat (added near line 221) shifted down by one
  line. The actual "validated downstream by gsd-tools uat
  classify-coverage" descriptive mention now sits at line 416. Updated
  the allowlist entry's line number to match.

- tests/task-command-router-resolve-content.test.cjs: the path-traversal
  test asserted the outside-project-scope diagnostic against the thrown
  ExitError's own .message. io.cts's error() (ADR-3889) writes its
  human-readable message to fd 2 via writeAllSync and then throws a bare
  `new ExitError(1)` with no message argument — by design, so the
  exception carries no duplicate text and the thrown ExitError's message
  defaults to "process exit 1" (cli-exit.cts's ExitError constructor).
  Root cause was the test, not the source: task-command-router.cjs's
  outside-project-scope rejection already calls error() correctly and the
  diagnostic text is genuinely emitted, just on fd 2, not on the
  exception. Fixed the test to capture fd-2 writes (mirroring
  tests/estimate-calibrate.test.cjs's runCalibrateExpectError and this
  same file's own captureStdout for fd 1) and assert against the captured
  stderr text instead of err.message. This was masked locally because a
  manual `node -e` sanity check that only inspects the caught exception's
  .message cannot see what the real node:test run actually failed on.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: execute-plan.md — adds the ADR-3646 task-content-resolution bullet and checkpoint-exclusion caveat to the per-task execute loop; a real behavioral prose addition, not incidental bloat.
