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.

Enhance /gsd:pause-work to write .planning/HANDOFF.json alongside
.continue-here.md. The JSON provides machine-readable state that
/gsd:resume-work can parse for precise resumption.
HANDOFF.json includes:
- Task position (phase, plan, task number, status)
- Completed and remaining tasks with commit hashes
- Blockers with type classification (technical/human_action/external)
- Human actions pending (API keys, approvals, manual testing)
- Uncommitted files list
- Context notes for mental model restoration
Resume-work changes:
- HANDOFF.json is primary resumption source (highest priority)
- Surfaces blockers and human actions immediately on session start
- Validates uncommitted files against git status
- Deletes HANDOFF.json after successful resumption
- Falls back to .continue-here.md if no JSON exists
Also checks for placeholder content in SUMMARY.md files to catch
false completions (frontmatter claims complete but body has TBD).
Fixes#940
Claude Code subagents sometimes rewrite ~/. paths to relative paths,
causing MODULE_NOT_FOUND when CWD is the project directory. $HOME is a
shell variable resolved at runtime, immune to model path rewriting.

Projects with "type": "module" in package.json cause Node to treat
gsd-tools.js as ESM, crashing on require(). The .cjs extension forces
CommonJS regardless of the host project's module configuration.
