Background agents for plan/execute now call Skill(gsd:plan-phase) and
Skill(gsd:execute-phase) instead of reimplementing the workflow steps
inline. This ensures local patches, quality gates, and proper branching
are respected. Also removes --no-verify anti-pattern and specifies
exact Skill names in error handler fallbacks.
Fixes#1453
Address 4 root causes of Windows + Claude Code reliability issues:
1. Workflow shell robustness: add || true guards to informational commands
(ls, grep, find, cat) that return non-zero on "no results", preventing
workflow step failures under strict execution models. Guard glob loops
with [ -e "$var" ] || continue to handle empty glob expansion.
2. Hook stdin handling: replace readFileSync('/dev/stdin') with async
process.stdin + timeout in agent templates (gsd-verifier.md). Existing
JS hooks already have timeout guards.
3. project_root detection: fix isInsideGitRepo() to check .git at the
candidate parent level (not just below it), enabling correct detection
when .git and .planning/ are siblings at the same directory level —
the common single-repo case from a subdirectory.
4. @file: handoff: add missing @file: handlers to autonomous.md and
manager.md workflows that call gsd-tools init but lacked the handler
for large output payloads.
Fixes#1343

Add /gsd:manager — a single-terminal dashboard for managing milestones.
Shows all phases with visual status indicators (D/P/E columns), computes
recommended next actions, and dispatches discuss inline while plan/execute
run as background agents.
Key behaviors:
- Recommendation engine prioritizes execute > plan > discuss
- Filters parallel execute/plan when phases share dependency chains
- Independent phases (no direct or transitive dep relationship) CAN
run in parallel — dependent phases are serialized
- Dashboard shows compact Deps column for at-a-glance dependency view
- Sliding window limits discuss to one phase at a time
- Activity detection via file mtime (5-min window) for is_active flag
New files:
- commands/gsd/manager.md — skill definition
- get-shit-done/workflows/manager.md — full workflow spec
- get-shit-done/bin/lib/init.cjs — cmdInitManager() with phase parsing,
dependency graph traversal, and recommendation filtering
- get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs — route 'init manager' to new command
- tests/init-manager.test.cjs — 16 tests covering status detection,
deps, sliding window, recommendations, and edge cases
