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 --pick flag to gsd-tools.cjs for extracting a single field from
JSON output, replacing all jq pipe usage across workflow and reference
files. Since Node.js is already a hard dependency, this eliminates the
need for jq on systems where it is not installed (notably Windows).
Changes:
- gsd-tools.cjs: add --pick <field> global flag with dot-notation and
bracket syntax support (e.g., --pick section, --pick directories[-1])
- Replace 15 jq pipe patterns across 6 workflow/reference files with
--pick flag or inline Node.js one-liner for variable extraction
- Add regression tests for --pick flag behavior

zsh's built-in echo interprets \n escape sequences in JSON strings,
converting properly-escaped \\n back into literal newlines. This breaks
jq parsing with "control characters U+0000 through U+001F must be escaped".
printf '%s\n' preserves the JSON verbatim.

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.

Closes five gaps where requirements could slip through unchecked at milestone
level: audit now cross-references VERIFICATION.md + SUMMARY frontmatter +
REQUIREMENTS.md traceability, integration checker receives req IDs, gap objects
carry plan-level detail, plan-milestone-gaps updates traceability, and
complete-milestone gates on requirements status.

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.
