- git tag command in complete-milestone.md used HEREDOC syntax
- HEREDOC fails silently on Windows Git Bash
- Literal newlines in quoted strings work cross-platform

Add three new commands that extract structured data from GSD files,
reducing context usage by returning only parsed fields instead of
raw file content:
- phase-plan-index: Plans grouped by wave with metadata (id, wave,
autonomous, objective, files_modified, task_count, has_summary)
- state-snapshot: Parsed STATE.md fields (current phase, decisions,
blockers, session info)
- summary-extract: Frontmatter extraction with optional --fields filter
Update workflows to use new commands:
- execute-phase: Use phase-plan-index instead of ls + grep loop
- plan-phase: Use state-snapshot for decisions
- research-phase: Use state-snapshot for decisions
- complete-milestone: Use summary-extract for one-liners

Reverts af7a057 "feat: add GSD Memory cross-project knowledge system"
The memory system needs more work before shipping:
- Workflow integration is incomplete (writes but doesn't query)
- UX requires too much manual intervention
- Setup friction exceeds value for most users
Preserved on branch `memory-wip` for continued development.

Implements MCP server for semantic search across GSD projects:
MCP Tools:
- gsd_memory_search: Search across all registered projects
- gsd_memory_decisions: Find decisions from SUMMARY/PROJECT.md
- gsd_memory_patterns: Find patterns from SUMMARY.md
- gsd_memory_pitfalls: Find pitfalls from RESEARCH.md
- gsd_memory_stack: Find tech stack entries
- gsd_memory_register: Register project with memory
- gsd_memory_index: Trigger indexing/update
- gsd_memory_status: Show system status
Architecture:
- QMD wrapper with grep fallback when QMD unavailable
- YAML frontmatter extractors for GSD document types
- Project registry at ~/.gsd/projects.json
- Auto-install via bin/install.js for Claude Code
Workflow integrations:
- new-project: Registers project with memory
- plan-phase: Indexes after planning
- execute-phase: Indexes after execution
- complete-milestone: Indexes milestone completion
- Researcher agents query memory before Context7
Tests: 117 passing (66 unit + 51 integration)

- Add "Squash merge" as recommended option at complete-milestone
- Keep "Merge with history" (--no-ff) as alternative
- Document merge options in planning-config reference
Improves on #298 based on community feedback from @oojacoboo.

Add configurable git branching with three strategies:
- none (default): commit to current branch
- phase: create branch per phase (gsd/phase-{N}-{slug})
- milestone: create branch per milestone (gsd/{version}-{slug})
Changes:
- planning-config.md: add git.branching_strategy and templates
- execute-phase.md: handle branch creation based on strategy
- settings.md: add branching strategy to settings UI
- complete-milestone.md: handle branch merging at milestone end
Trim redundant documentation while preserving actionable instructions.
-173 lines of prose that restated what templates already show.
Kept: size constraints, mandatory fields, security guidance.
Removed: "when to create/read/update" lifecycle prose, section
descriptions that duplicate template structure.

* feat: add uncommitted planning mode
Add config option to keep planning docs local-only (not committed to git).
Useful for OSS contributions, client projects, or keeping planning private.
Config options in .planning/config.json:
- planning.commit_docs: true/false (default: true)
- planning.search_gitignored: true/false (default: false)
When commit_docs=false:
- All git operations for .planning/ files are skipped
- User should add .planning/ to .gitignore
- Planning system works normally, just not tracked
Updated files:
- config.json template: added planning section
- execute-plan.md: conditional git commits
- execute-phase.md: conditional git commits
- create-roadmap.md: conditional git commits
- help.md: documented new config options
- planning-config.md: reference doc for config behavior

* feat: extend commit_docs check to all agents/commands/workflows
Add COMMIT_PLANNING_DOCS config check to all files that commit
.planning/ artifacts, ensuring consistent behavior when
commit_docs=false is set in config.json.
Updated:
- 5 agents (planner, executor, debugger, phase-researcher, synthesizer)
- 8 commands (add-todo, check-todos, execute-phase, new-milestone,
pause-work, plan-milestone-gaps, remove-phase, research-project)
- 7 workflows (complete-milestone, create-milestone, define-requirements,
diagnose-issues, discuss-phase, map-codebase, verify-work)

* fix(progress): use Bash instead of Glob for .planning/ check
Glob respects .gitignore, so projects with gitignored .planning/
directories would fail with "No planning structure found."

* fix(new-milestone): integrate full research/requirements/roadmap flow
Previously routed to non-existent /gsd:research-project and
/gsd:define-requirements commands. Now handles the full flow inline
like new-project does:
- Phase 7: Research Decision (spawns 4 milestone-aware researchers)
- Phase 8: Define Requirements (scopes features, creates REQUIREMENTS.md)
- Phase 9: Create Roadmap (continues phase numbering from previous milestone)
- Phase 10: Done
Key adaptations for milestones:
- Research focuses on NEW features only
- Requirements add to existing, don't start fresh
- Phase numbering continues from previous milestone

Remove the global ISSUES.md deferred enhancement tracking system.
- Delete /gsd:consider-issues command (never used)
- Delete issues.md template (never instantiated)
- Remove Rule 5 from deviation rules (never triggered)
- Remove all ISSUES.md, ISS-XXX, and "deferred issues" references
- Update STATE.md to track pending todos instead
The ISSUES.md system was designed to capture non-critical enhancements
during plan execution via "Rule 5", but it never fired in practice
across 100+ projects. The system added ~350 lines of dead code.
The /gsd:add-todo and /gsd:check-todos system serves the same purpose
and is actually used.
Note: UAT *-ISSUES.md files (per-plan, created by /gsd:verify-work)
are unaffected - those are a separate, active system.
Closes#56

PROJECT.md evolves throughout project lifecycle:
- Requirements have states: Validated, Active, Out of Scope
- Decisions track outcomes: Good, Revisit, Pending
- Phase transitions update requirements and log decisions
- Milestone completions trigger full PROJECT.md review
STATE.md now references PROJECT.md (not a copy):
- Claude reads PROJECT.md directly for full context
- Smaller STATE.md footprint (~100 lines)
- Project Reference section with core value and focus
Brownfield projects infer Validated requirements from existing code.

End-of-command workflows now show explicit instructions to run /clear
and paste the next command, rather than offering numbered options that
invoke SlashCommand directly. This prevents users from accidentally
exhausting context by continuing work in the same session.
- Updated 16 files (commands and workflows)
- YOLO mode auto-continues preserved (user explicitly chose automation)
- In-workflow decisions like consider-issues preserved
