ef9ce3e598 fix(#3702): count asterisk, plus and ordered markers as deferred-items entries (#3739)
* fix(#3702): deferred-items counts `*`, `+` and ordered markers as list items

`deferred-items.md` has no template and no mandated shape, but its parser
recognised only the `- ` hyphen marker. Asterisk bullets, plus bullets and
dot-terminated ordered lists — all lists in CommonMark and GFM — contributed
ZERO entries on both the headless and the heading-delimited path, and a mixed
file dropped its non-hyphen entries while keeping their hyphenated siblings,
under-reporting without ever looking empty.

The restriction was a regex literal inherited from the Gaps seam, where the
template genuinely mandates the hyphen YAML-lite form; nothing in the module's
stated rationale distinguishes `*` from `-`.

Widened on the deferred path only:
- `splitGapsEntriesCore`'s entry opener, `extractGapEntryFields`' line-0 strip
  and `rawGapEntryText`'s line-0 strip take a `BulletMarkers` parameter that
  DEFAULTS to the hyphen-only set, so `## Gaps` keeps its template-mandated
  grammar byte-for-byte and the module still has exactly one grouping pass.
- `splitDeferredHeadingEntries`' body-bullet test, `stripLeadingBulletMarker`
  and `acknowledgeDeferredItem`'s status-field regexes move in lockstep —
  widening what OPENS an entry without widening what is STRIPPED before field
  extraction would surface an entry that can never resolve.

Unchanged, and pinned by tests: prose-only and bare headings still contribute
nothing ("prose is not an item"); a table under a leaf heading still yields
exactly its rows, since table lines are skipped before the body-marker flag can
be set and a `|` row is not a list marker; the paren-terminated ordered form
`1)` is out of this fix's scope.

* docs(#3702): changeset fragment (pr: 0 placeholder pre-create)

* fix(#3702): widen the forensic-audit prose entry rule to match the parser

Sibling site of the same defect class, found by a defect-class sweep of the
deferred-items consumers. `/gsd-progress` check 7 does NOT go through
`gsd-tools query` — it globs `deferred-items.md` and has the model read entries
by a prose rule that mandated "one entry per top-level `- ` line". Left as-is,
the marker widening would hold on the CLI path while the one consumer that
bypasses the parser kept reporting "No unresolved deferred items" for a file
written with `*`, `+` or an ordered marker: the same false negative, surviving
in the only place the fix could not reach by code.

Also pass DEFERRED_BULLET_MARKERS explicitly where the heading path extracts
fields. It was already correct — stripLeadingBulletMarker pre-strips the widened
set from every line, so the default hyphen strip is a no-op there — but relying
on that leaves a detection site and a strip site nominally on different marker
sets, which is exactly the asymmetry the BulletMarkers doc comment warns about.
Explicit is local; inferred is a trap for whoever edits the strip next.

Out of scope, noted rather than fixed: forensic-audit.md globs only
`.planning/phases/*/` and so misses archived milestone phases that
`scanDeferredItems` covers. Pre-existing, a different defect, and not this
issue's ruling.

* docs(#3702): note the milestone-close halt for heading-shape non-hyphen files in the changeset

A heading-delimited deferred-items.md written with */+/ordered markers
previously parsed to zero and closed silently; it now yields entries whose
heading shape acknowledgeDeferredItem refuses, halting complete-milestone
until hand-edited. User-visible, so the fragment states it.

* chore(#3702): set changeset fragment pr to 3739

* fix(#3702): CR-normalise the heading path and the acknowledge writer (review B1, M4, m2)

B1 — `splitDeferredHeadingEntries` stored RAW lines; on a CRLF file every
body line but the last still carried its `\r`, the `$`-anchored marker
strip failed on it, the marker survived into field extraction and the
field was lost — a `**Status:** resolved` that was not the file's final
line resurfaced its entry as open. The heading path now stores CR-stripped
lines like the headless path already did, and the strip regex tolerates a
trailing CR on its own. Round 1's CRLF test put `**Status:**` on the last
line, the one position `collectSection`'s `.trimEnd()` had already
de-CR'd; the new tests put it first and mid-body.

M4 (pre-existing on `next`) — `acknowledgeDeferredItem` found the status
line on a CR-stripped copy but rewrote the raw line with a `$`-anchored
`.*`, which cannot consume `\r`; `replace` returned its input, and the
writer reported `ok` over byte-identical content. The rewrite now runs on
a CR-stripped line. The comment that claimed `.*$` consumed the `\r` is
corrected — it was the bug, stated as the design.

m2 — the indent probe for an inserted `status:` line ran on the raw line
and fell back to indent 0 on CRLF; it is CR-stripped too.

* fix(#3702): derive every deferred-items marker regex from one source (review M3, N1, N2)

M3 — round 1 carried the marker alternation in FOUR places: the
`BulletMarkers` pair and two inline literals inside
`acknowledgeDeferredItem`, under a doc comment saying the interface
existed so a detection site and its strip site could not drift. All four
now derive from `DEFERRED_MARKER_ALT`; drift is impossible rather than
discouraged. A parity test pins the vocabulary against
`markdown-sectionizer`'s `iterateBullets` on everything the two grammars
are meant to agree on, and names the two points they deliberately differ.

N1 — the ordered marker is `\d{1,9}\.` (CommonMark §5.2), not `\d+\.`.

N2 — the marker is followed by `[ \t]`, not `\s`, which also accepted
`\r`; the tab remains accepted (CommonMark-legal) and the divergence from
`iterateBullets`' literal space is pinned rather than papered over.

The four regexes are exported for the parity test only.

* fix(#3702): an ordered marker opens an entry only from `1.` or inside a run (review B2, m1)

B2 — `\d+\.` alone read ordinary prose as a list: "2026. was a bad year
for this module" and, under `### Notes`, "3. is the number of retries we
settled on." both opened an entry on round 1, the second straight through
the "prose is not an item" contract that round's AC4 claimed to preserve.
CommonMark §5.3 faces the same ambiguity when an ordered list would
interrupt a paragraph and resolves it by requiring the list to start with
1; `matchListOpener` applies that rule wherever an ordered marker is seen,
with the run carried per list (headless) or per leaf-heading body. Numbers
after the first are ignored, as CommonMark ignores them. Stated cost,
pinned: a hand-numbered list starting at 2 reads as prose — every ordered
record in the #3702 scan starts at 1.

Both reviewer cases are pinned as prose; the ruling's `1. alpha / 2. beta`
shape still counts.

m1 — the 9-digit boundary is pinned at both sides (`999999999.` opens,
ten digits is not a marker), and the 3-vs-4-space indentation cliff is
pinned as deliberately NOT applied: the parser is indent-lenient because
surfacing a questionable hand-written entry beats dropping a real one.

* fix(#3702): thematic breaks close the list and fenced code never opens an entry (review M1, M2)

M1 — `- - -` was a phantom `"- -"` entry on base; widening the marker set
added `* * *` and `+ + +` to the class, and `* * *` is the separator an
author writing in the `*` style is most likely to use. A CommonMark §4.1
thematic break (plus the `+ + +` gesture, which is the same garbage as an
entry name) now closes the open entry on the headless path and is dropped
from the body on the heading path — neither an item nor a continuation.

M2 — neither splitter was fence-aware, so `+ `-prefixed diff lines and
`1.`-numbered repro steps inside a code block counted as entries; #3702's
wild records carry exactly those blocks. Both splitters now classify lines
by the sectionizer's own `scanFencedBlocks` (so `~~~`, indented and
unterminated fences behave as `stripFencedCode` would): fence content
never opens an entry, is continuation inside an open one — keeping the
span invariant `acknowledgeDeferredItem` re-verifies — and is discarded
before the first.

* test(#3702): range the #2287 deferred-items property over marker × shape × line ending (review B3)

The `#2287` property hard-coded `- ` and filtered `\r\n` out of its
arbitraries, so the widened marker set — an enumerated domain, exactly
what a property is for — was never under it. It now ranges over
`{-, *, +, ordered}` × `{headless, heading}` × `{LF, CRLF}`, with the
heading shape placing `**Status:**` first or last: the review's
prescription (markers × line endings) would not have reached B1, which
lives on the heading path only, so the shape axis is the load-bearing
addition. Ordered entries are numbered from 1, so the B2 run rule is
under the property too.

A second property drives `acknowledgeDeferredItem` over every unresolved
headless entry across the same marker × line-ending grid — the one that
reaches M4 (a CRLF rewrite that reported `ok` and wrote nothing) and m2.

* test(#3702): pin the milestone-close halt on a heading-delimited `*`/`+`/`1.` file (review m3)

A heading-delimited `deferred-items.md` written with a non-hyphen marker
previously parsed to zero entries and let `complete-milestone` close
silently; it now yields entries whose heading shape `acknowledgeDeferredItem`
refuses, which the milestone loop turns into `record_ack_failure` → exit 1.
The loop is prose in a workflow, so the test drives the two CLI calls it
makes: `audit-open --json` must list the entry, and
`audit-open acknowledge --text <the audit's own text>` must refuse with the
heading-delimited message and write nothing.

* docs(#3702): changeset and forensic-audit prose carry the round-2 grammar

The changeset names the CRLF fixes, the ordered start-at-1 rule, thematic
breaks and fences. The `/gsd-progress` forensic-audit step is the one
prose parser of this file and must state the same grammar the code has.

* fix(#3702): round-review refinements — run ends at a paragraph, rejected ordinals unstripped, breaks at any indent, fenced fields, `## Gaps` scope

Findings from the pre-push adversarial review of round 2, each pinned:

- An ordered run ENDS at a paragraph that follows a blank line (CommonMark
  §5.3); a non-indented line with no blank before it is lazy continuation
  and keeps the run open. `1. a` / blank / `paragraph` / blank / `5. x` is
  one entry, not two.
- The heading path strips the marker off every body line before field
  extraction (#3457); a line whose ordinal `matchListOpener` REJECTED must
  not be stripped, or "3. status: resolved" as prose loses its `3. ` and
  reads as a resolved field. `splitDeferredHeadingEntriesDetailed` now
  carries a per-line opener flag and only accepted openers are stripped —
  in headless regions of a heading-shaped file too.
- A thematic break is recognised at any indent, matching the parser's
  indent-lenient reading of items; `    * * *` was a phantom `* *`.
- Fenced lines carry no FIELDS either: a `status: resolved` quoted inside a
  code block no longer resolves its entry on either path.
- Block structure (breaks, fences) is a property of the GRAMMAR, carried as
  `BulletMarkers.blockStructure`: the deferred set opts in, the Gaps set
  does not, so `## Gaps` is byte-for-byte on its `next` behaviour — the
  round-2 M1/M2 change had reached it through the shared splitter.

* test(#3702): the property exercises the rejected-ordinal branch; the N2 control is independent

Round review: the widened #2287 property numbered every ordered run from 1
and so never generated an ordinal the start-at-1 rule rejects — it could
not tell round 1 from round 2 on B2. Each entry may now carry a decoy prose
line beginning with a non-1 ordinal, placed where it cannot end a run
(before the first headless entry; first in a heading body), followed by a
`status: resolved` that must never become a field; and a decoy-only
heading body must yield no entry.

The N2 assertion accepted a tab, which round 1's `\s` accepted too, so a
`[ \t]` → `\s` revert alone stayed green. NBSP, form-feed and vertical-tab
are now asserted refused — the assertion that fails on that revert on its
own, and the disclosure that `[ \t]` narrows what round 1 accepted.

* fix(#3702): the splitter records its own opener flags; an opener clears the blank-line memory

Round-review continuation, two state defects in the ordered-run logic:

- `blankSeen` survived the headless splitter's opener branch, so an opener
  followed by a lazy continuation line read as "paragraph after a blank" and
  ended the run — `1. a` / blank / `2. b` / lazy / `3. c` folded `c` into `b`.
  The opener branch now clears it.
- The heading path re-derived per-line opener flags for headless regions
  without the paragraph reset, re-accepting a rejected `3. status: resolved`
  under a stale run and stripping it into a field. `GapsEntrySpan` now
  carries the flags the splitter itself computed, and the heading path reads
  them; the re-derivation is deleted.

* fix(#3702): ordered-run memory is per indent — nested runs resolve, nested ordinals never inherit the top-level run

Round-review continuation 2: nested openers consulted the TOP-LEVEL run
flag and never wrote their own, so a nested `1. / 2.` run under a hyphen
entry rejected its `2. status: resolved` (round 1 resolved it), while a
nested `3. status: resolved` under a nested `- ` bullet inherited an open
top-level run and was stripped into a false field.

`OrderedRuns` keys the memory by indent: a new opener at indent d resets
every deeper level, a paragraph after a blank at indent d ends the runs at
d and deeper, a thematic break or a heading clears all. Both splitters use
it; the top level still decides entry boundaries, nested levels decide
only which continuation lines are accepted openers for field stripping.
Pinned for LF and CRLF.

* fix(#3702): run levels — one top level at or above the base, CommonMark column indents, a fence ends its level's runs

Round-review continuation 3:

- A dedenting top-level list (`    1.` / `  2.` / `3.`) lost its entry
  boundaries: the exact-indent run lookup rejected the shallower ordinals
  before the boundary check ran. Every indent at or shallower than the
  list's base is now ONE level, in both splitters.
- `indentOf` counted characters, so a tab and a space aliased to one level
  and `\t1. nested` / ` 2. status: resolved` resolved falsely. Indent is now
  measured in CommonMark columns (§2.2: a tab advances to the next multiple
  of 4), for the run level and the entry-boundary check alike.
- A nested run survived a fenced block. A fence is a non-list block: its
  opening delimiter ends the runs at its level and deeper, exactly as a
  paragraph after a blank does.

* fix(#3702): the indent measure is grammar-scoped — Gaps keeps next's character count

`blockStructure: false` promised the Gaps grammar byte-for-byte parity with
`next`, but the CommonMark-column indent measure added for the deferred
grammar was shared by the whole splitter core, so tab-indented Gaps input
changed entry boundaries in BOTH directions:

  `\t- a` / `  - b`  — next folded into one entry, HEAD split into two
  `  - a` / `\t- b`  — next split into two,      HEAD folded into one

`indentWidth` now keys the measure on the grammar: columns for the deferred
set, raw character count for Gaps. The opt-out covers indent semantics, not
only fences and thematic breaks.

Four cases pin both halves — the two flipped Gaps pairs, the two Gaps pairs
that never moved, and the same tab/space pairs on the deferred path returning
the opposite (column-measured) verdict by design.

* fix(#3702): the acknowledge path reads and writes through one classifier

Round 3, Blockers 1 and 3, and Minors 7 and 8 — one mechanism, so one commit.
Every consumer of an entry's lines now reads the splitter's own per-line
verdict instead of a re-derivation of it.

B1. Round 2 widened the WRITER's status-line finder to the deferred marker set
while `extractGapEntryFields` still de-bulleted line 0 only. A nested
`  * status: pending` was therefore selectable by the writer and invisible to
the reader: acknowledge rewrote it in place, returned `ok`, and the item stayed
outstanding on every later audit. Measured against a `next` build, `*`, `+` and
`1.` each resolved on base and stopped resolving at round 2's head — a
regression, not a gap in new behaviour. The hyphen form of the same shape was
already broken on `next` and is fixed here too: one classifier cannot be right
for three markers and wrong for the fourth.

`parseGapEntryFieldLine` is now the single place a line is classified as a
field, and it reports the offset at which the VALUE begins. The rewrite happens
at that offset rather than through a second regex, so a line the classifier can
select is one whose rewrite it has already located — the selection and the
rewrite cannot disagree. Both `DEFERRED_STATUS_FIELD_RE` and
`DEFERRED_STATUS_REWRITE_RE` are deleted rather than widened. A read-back guard
returns `rewrite_not_readable` rather than `ok`; it is unreachable by
construction today and is the fail-loud floor under the next divergence.

B3. This is the end state the round-3 review prescribed on both #3739 and
#3773: #3773's shared classifier, parameterised by this PR's marker set, with
this PR's two status regexes deleted. #3773 lands first. Its hyphen-only strip
is consistent with `next`'s hyphen-only splitter today, so the writer/reader
divergence is created by THIS merge, which is why widening every consumer
belongs to the PR that widens the domain.

m7. The heading path marker-stripped its lines before calling the reader, so
the reader's fence scan ran over text the splitter never saw: `- ```sh` is an
ordinary bullet to the splitter but strips to a fence opener, and a
`**Status:** resolved` after it was suppressed as fence content — a resolved
entry resurfaced as open. Stripping now happens inside the reader, after the
fence scan.

m8. `rawGapEntryText` stripped a marker off line 0 unconditionally, but on the
heading shape line 0 is the heading TEXT: `### 1. Race in the writer` was
silently renamed to `Race in the writer`, and the name is the key acknowledge
matches on. Line 0 is stripped only when the splitter accepted it as an opener.

Also removed: `splitDeferredHeadingEntries`, whose sole caller only null-checked
it (round 3, M4 — the claim was zero callers, which was wrong; the wrapper's
`.map` was waste at the one call site), and `stripLeadingBulletMarker`, which
this change leaves with no callers at all. The export surface narrows to the two
splitter regexes the behavioural parity test reads (M6).

[PEER-ASK pr-order-12d5]
q: Reviewer blocked both on merge order. I'm declaring #3773 lands first and
   building the end-state shape into #3739 now (both my status regexes
   deleted). Does that match your plan?
reply: CONFIRMED - same order, derived independently. #3773 cannot carry the
   fold: `DEFERRED_BULLET_MARKERS`/`BulletMarkers` have zero occurrences at
   `next` (verified), so the prescribed end state is not executable inside
   #3773 without absorbing this PR's work.
deadline: 03:55 UTC (answered before it)
fallback: declare #3773 first, adopt end-state shape in #3739, push+comment
decision: proceeded as stated; #3773 lands first, this PR carries the widening
   of every consumer.

Refs #3740

* test(#3702): pin the detect/strip symmetry, and drop a white-box test that could not reach it

Round 3, Blocker 2 and Minors 6 and 9.

B2. The regression shipped green because no fixture put a marker on a nested
status line. Four markers x {nested status line}, each asserting the entry
READS BACK as acknowledged rather than that acknowledge merely reported `ok` —
reporting `ok` over a line the reader skips is the whole defect. Plus the bare
capitalised `Status:` case (the reader stores it case-sensitively, so the
writer must not select it), and an idempotence test, which is the failure the
defect actually produced: the item resurfaces, is acknowledged again, and never
settles.

Each of these was run against the pre-fix build first: all five fail there and
pass here. Two further assertions in the block are labelled CONTROL because
they held pre-fix — they guard the new offset-based rewrite and the opener-flag
threading against regressing, and calling them regression tests for a reported
defect would overclaim.

M6. The round-2 parity test asserted that four writer-side regexes embedded the
same source string. That is true of a detect/read asymmetry too, so it could
not have caught B1 — and two of the four regexes were widened into `export =`
purely to let it read them. Replaced with a behavioural test that drives the
real seam: every marker that opens an entry must also resolve it through
acknowledge. The structural assertion is kept for the two splitter regexes,
which really are two copies of one alternation.

m9. `expectedResolved` was computed and immediately voided; the loop beneath it
already asserts both polarities.

m7/m8 coverage lands here too: a bullet whose content is a fence opener must
not suppress the entry's fields, and a heading beginning with a list marker
must keep it in the entry name.

* docs(#3702): document the deferred-items entry shape where the file is written

Round 3, Major 5, and #3702's own item 2. The widened grammar was documented in
the reader (`forensic-audit.md`) but not at the write site, where
`executor-examples.md` still said only "log to deferred-items.md" — so the
question the issue actually raised, which shapes count, remained unanswered
anywhere a human writes the file.

States what opens an entry (`-`, `*`, `+`, and `1.` when the list starts at
`1.`), that `1)` is not a marker here, that a separator closes the list and
fenced content is never an entry or a field, and that an entry without an
explicit `status: resolved` stays open by design.

* chore(#3702): regenerate the changeset through the generator

Round 3, Minor 10. The fragment was hand-named against 64 generated names on
`next`, and its body ran ~250 words against CONTRIBUTING's one-sentence form.
Regenerated via `npm run changeset`, which is also what the random three-word
name is for: concurrent PRs never collide.

* fix(#3702): the fence gate lives on the seam both sides call, not just the reader

Found by the pre-push adversarial review of this round, and it is a regression
this round introduced rather than a pre-existing one.

`extractGapEntryFields` applied `fencedLineSet` before classifying; the
acknowledge writer's status-line search did not. So a `status:` line inside a
fenced block was SELECTED by the writer and SKIPPED by the reader — the write
produced a line nothing reads, the read-back guard refused it, and the entry
became impossible to acknowledge at all: `audit acknowledge` raised an internal
error and `complete-milestone` halted on it.

Measured, `- alpha` / fence / `  status: pending` / fence:

  next          ack=ok                   -> reads back "acknowledged"
  round-2 head  ack=ok                   -> reads back ""      (the B1 defect)
  before this   ack=rewrite_not_readable -> refuses entirely   (worse than next)

`entryFieldLines` is now the seam — per line of an entry, the field it declares
or `null`, fences included — and the reader and the writer both go through it.
That makes "the writer cannot select a line the reader will not read back"
structural rather than asserted, which is what the previous commit's message
claimed while a second read-side filter still lived outside the classifier.

Two comments corrected with it. The read-back guard is NOT "unreachable by
construction": this round shipped a reachable path to it, which is precisely
what an invariant asserted in a comment is worth. And the M6 replacement test
put its marker only on the entry opener, so it passed against the defective
build — the exact weakness it was introduced to fix in round 2's test. It now
marks the nested status line too, and fails pre-fix like the rest.

Round-3 tests against the pre-fix build: 10 of 12 fail there, and the 2 that
hold are labelled CONTROL because they guard this round's new code rather than
pin a reported defect.

* fix(#3702): one end-of-file CRLF algorithm, adopting #3773's with its B4 closed

Round-4 M1. Two open PRs shipped two different answers to "what line ending
does an entry that ENDS THE FILE get?", and the review's ruling was that the
disagreement needs one answer, not two. Neither shipped answer was that one.
Measured on builds of both heads:

  case                                     #3739 r3   #3773   here
  undelimited single entry, CRLF preamble    pass      FAIL    pass
  LF-dominant list, one stray CRLF at EOF    FAIL      pass    pass
  (the other five)                           pass      pass    pass

This PR's content.endsWith('\r\n', matchIndexInContent) reads the terminator of
the PREVIOUS line, so it propagated an isolated CRLF into an LF-dominant list --
refuted by #3773's own LF-dominant fixture, ported here. Withdrawn.

#3773's crlfAtEof asks the right question -- does anything before the entry,
within scope, contradict CRLF -- and fails closed. But its scope goes EMPTY for
an undelimited single-entry list, because the entry-list region runs from the
first entry's start to the insertion point and those coincide; crlfAtEof('') is
false by its own before.length > 0 guard, so 'preamble\r\n\r\n- alpha' gained a
bare \n in a CRLF document. That is #3773's B4, verified by driving its head.

Adopted here with the scope widened to everything preceding the insertion point
where the preferred region is empty, rather than asserting LF from no evidence.
That only ever loosens a scope carrying zero information, and the predicate
stays fail-closed over the wider one. An entry at offset 0 of an undelimited
document has no evidence under either scope and stays LF.

Tests: 10 added. Negative control, driven -- 1 of the 10 fails against this
branch's own pre-fix head (the stray-CRLF fixture); B4 fails against #3773's
head; the remaining 8 are the scope counterexamples ported with the function,
which were regression pins in #3773 and are guards here. Each still kills a
simpler algorithm: drop any one and a refuted scope passes again.

Four deferred-items suites 450/450, 0 skipped. npm run lint:ci exit 0.

* fix(#3702): drop the unreachable rewrite_not_readable guard (B3)

Round-4 B3: the status had zero test coverage in either file. The review
offered two branches -- drive it from a test, or delete it and stop carrying an
untested terminal status. Taking the second, with the reason stated rather than
assumed.

Why it cannot be driven. Round 3 added the guard after a fenced `status:` line
proved the writer could select a line the reader would not read back. Round 3
then closed that divergence STRUCTURALLY, by routing the writer's line selection
and the reader's field extraction through one entryFieldLines seam. The guard
now detects a state construction prevents: 21 document shapes were driven
against it -- fence openers on the bullet line for every marker in the widened
set, duplicate and triplicate status lines, bolded and nested variants, fences
between duplicates -- and none reached it. The only seam that would is routing
the internal call through the module's exports so a test could stub it, which
reshapes production surface for a test.

Why leaving it undriven is not free. RULESET.TESTS.mutation-score runs Stryker
incrementally over changed files at an 80% threshold and says to treat a
surviving mutant as a failing test specification. An undriven `if` on a changed
file is exactly that, on both the condition and the .toLowerCase() comparison.

What this gives up, stated rather than hidden: if a future change re-splits the
writer's selection from the reader's extraction, acknowledgeDeferredItem returns
ok over an item that stays outstanding -- the original #3702 defect class. One
correction to the review's framing: match_verification_failed does NOT backfill
it. That check runs BEFORE the write and compares the matched span to the
target, so it cannot see a post-write read-back failure. The protection against
re-splitting is the shared seam and the round-3 tests that pin it, not a runtime
assertion. A comment at the removal site records all of this.

Removing it also drops the union member from both files, which resolves the PR
body's internal contradiction (it claimed no type-signature changes while adding
one) and the duplicate-status surface #3773 collides on.

No test changed behaviour: 450/450 across the four deferred-items suites, 149/149
across the audit suites, npm run lint:ci exit 0 -- the same figures as before the
removal, which is itself the evidence that nothing exercised the branch.

* fix(#3702): the deferred fence gate is indent-unbounded, like the rest of the grammar (M2)

Round-4 M2. scanFencedBlocks is CommonMark, which caps a fence delimiter's
indent at three spaces -- a fourth makes it an indented code block instead. This
grammar had already opted out of that cliff for entry openers ([ \t]*) and for
THEMATIC_BREAK_RE (^[ \t]*), but not for fences. So a fence at four spaces was
not a fence to the gate, and a `status: resolved` line inside it RESOLVED the
entry containing it.

That is not an exotic shape. A fenced block written under a NESTED bullet sits
at four spaces, so ordinary hand-written deferred-items.md files reach it.
Driven before the fix at indents 4, 5, 8 and a leading tab: all four silently
resolved. It is the #3702 silent-resolution defect class in a new place.

gsd-core/references/executor-examples.md, added by this PR, states flatly that
"nothing inside a fenced code block is an entry or a field". The review offered
fixing the parser or bounding that claim in three places. Fixing it -- the claim
is the one users will rely on, and the grammar had already chosen unbounded
indent everywhere else.

NO second fence dialect (the rule blankIndentedFenceDelimiters states). The
classification is still done by scanFencedBlocks, the one exported CommonMark
state machine, over a de-indented VIEW of the same lines. Run lengths, backtick
vs tilde, closer-must-match-and-not-trail, info-string rules and the
unterminated-at-EOF case remain that engine's answers. Indent is the only
dimension hidden from it, and it is exactly the dimension this grammar has
already declared it does not measure. Index alignment is 1:1 -- map preserves
length -- so every returned line index still addresses the original line.

Scope is the deferred grammar only. Both marker-parameterised call sites gate on
markers.blockStructure, which the Gaps set does not set, so Gaps reaches an empty
set. Verified, not asserted: the 47-fixture Gaps differential (marker x
line-ending x separator x fence x break x key-shape x list-shape) is
BYTE-IDENTICAL across this change, 8033 bytes both sides.

Tests: 14 added, of which 8 fail against the pre-fix source and pass here; the
other 6 are the deliberate controls -- indents 0 through 3, which must NOT move,
and the Gaps opt-out guard.

Four deferred-items suites green; the 58 suites touching uat/deferred/sectionizer
run 6045 tests with an IDENTICAL failing set before and after this change (17
pre-existing environment failures -- installs and an unpinned GSD_EMITTED_BASE;
emitted-attribution passes 259/259 in isolation with its base pinned). lint:ci
exit 0.

* fix(#3702): changeset, both prose parsers, and the minors (M3, M4, m1-m3, m5, n1-n2)

M3 -- the changeset omitted a user-BREAKING change. Measured against next: a
heading-delimited deferred-items.md written with `*`, `+` or `1.` went from
"0 entries, so complete-milestone has nothing to acknowledge and closes" to
"1 entry, the CLI writer refuses the heading shape, ACK_FAILURES accumulates,
exit 1". The `-` form already halted and is unchanged. That is release-note
material: a close that used to succeed now fails, and the correct response is to
fix the file, not revert. Also names the fence-indent fix below, and adds #3740
so #3773's issue is attributed here as it is absorbed.

M4 -- gsd-core/workflows/progress/steps/forensic-audit.md is a SECOND,
model-executed parser of the same grammar, and prose cannot carry a parity test.
Its widened text stated the start-at-1 rule, fences and separators but not the
`1)` exclusion nor the nine-digit ordinal cap, both enforced in code with pinned
tests. Both stated now, along with the round-4 fence-indent rule. (No ack
fragment: the size ratchet's currentSizes does a NON-recursive readdirSync of
gsd-core/workflows and agents, so a file under workflows/progress/steps/ is
outside its scope -- verified by reading the helper, not by the green.)

n1 -- executor-examples.md documented that the BOLDED status key is matched
case-insensitively and left the bare key's rule to inference. Driven: bare
`Status: resolved` is NOT read, so the entry stays open with no warning, while
`**Status:**` is. Stated explicitly, with the digit cap and the any-indent fence
rule (n2).

m1 -- boundary coverage was 2/3. limit (999999999.) and limit+1 (1234567890.)
were pinned; limit-1 (12345678.) added, per RULESET.TESTS.boundary-coverage.

m2 -- THEMATIC_BREAK_RE and the tab-expanding indent counter are hand-rolled
CommonMark rules with no in-repo peer to compare against, so the parity
assertion is against the SPEC: eight positive and five negative fixtures, plus
the two DELIBERATE divergences pinned as deliberate (`+` is a separator here but
not in CommonMark, because `+` is a list marker in this grammar and `+ + +`
would otherwise be a phantom entry; indent is unbounded). One fixture was
initially wrong -- `-- -` IS a CommonMark break, since the spec allows free
spacing between the three characters -- and the parser was right.

m3 -- the result union is hand-duplicated in audit.cts as part of a deliberate
structural view of uat.cjs, so the fix is not to delete a copy but to make drift
observable. Every REACHABLE status is now driven from a fixture; four of the six
(ambiguous, unsupported_heading_shape, already_resolved, match_verification_failed)
had no assertion anywhere in the suite before this. match_verification_failed is
still undriven and the test says so rather than omitting it.

m5 -- DECLINED, with the measurement. The review is right that `(\s*)` in the
opener and `/^[ \t]*/` in the reader disagree about \f, \v and NBSP, but its
prescribed narrowing was implemented, driven and REVERTED: as shipped, an entry
indented with any of those surfaces, parses its status field, acknowledges, and
reads back acknowledged -- a complete round-trip. Narrowing turns all three into
SILENTLY DROPPED entries, which is the #3702 defect class itself and the opposite
of this file's stated fail-safe rule. A latent inconsistency in the safe
direction is not worth a live regression in the unsafe one. Pinned by three
round-trip tests so the prescription cannot be re-applied silently; if it is ever
closed, the direction is to make the readers agree with the opener, not to make
the opener reject lines it accepts today.

Four deferred-items suites 475/475, 0 skipped. lint:ci and lint:changeset exit 0.
The 47-fixture Gaps differential is byte-identical at 8033 bytes.

* fix(#3702): the pinned `## Gaps` phantom now cites its issue (m4)

Round-4 m4. The second assertion in the Gaps byte-for-byte test pins a real
defect as expected output: a spaced hyphen thematic break in `## Gaps` is read
as an ITEM, so `- - -` surfaces a phantom open gap named `- -`. Reproduced on
pristine next at 389bc86e0 across nine separator shapes -- every spaced hyphen
form is affected, `---`/`----`/`* * *`/`___` are not, and the dividing line is a
space after the first hyphen (the Gaps opener is /^(\s*)(-)\s/ with no
thematic-break concept at all).

Filed as open-gsd/gsd-core#3898. The pin stays: scope-limiting Gaps is the point
of the blockStructure opt-out, and this assertion is the only thing that would
notice the Gaps path moving. What was missing was the tracking -- a pinned defect
with no issue behind it reads as intended behaviour to the next reader. The
comment now says which it is and what the expectation becomes when #3898 lands.

* fix(#3702): an unterminated fence runs to the end of its entry, never past it (B1, B2)

Round 4 de-indented every line before `scanFencedBlocks`, so a fence
opened at any indent — and `scanFencedBlocks` runs an unterminated
fence to end-of-document — so one stray delimiter swallowed every entry
after it into the entry before it. `- a` / blank / four-space ``` /
blank / `- b` yielded ONE entry where `next` yields two: a widening
that made an already-counted item vanish, on the mixed-file shape #3702
exists to close. Reproduces at indent 0 as well.

The bound is the entry. CommonMark closes a fence with its container
and a container at the next item at its level; this parser extends
that to a document-level stray delimiter, where CommonMark would
swallow to EOF and the fail-safe rule (surface, don't drop) will not.
`scanFencesFrom` reports the unterminated opener and the walk supplies
the bound — the next line shaped like a top-level item — then RESCANS
from it, so a later delimiter is read on its own terms. Still one
fence dialect: every block boundary is `scanFencedBlocks`' answer.
Entry-scoped `fencedLineSet` (the field reader) already ran an
unterminated fence to the end of its lines, so reader and walk agree
by construction.

Tests: the M2 pin that asserted `[]` for a stray fence before an item
flips (the item counts); the round-4 "runs to end-of-file, exactly as
CommonMark says" test is retitled — its assertion stands because the
bound is the entry — and extended with the next entry; a new block pins
the review reproduction at both indents, a terminated deep fence still
gating, the gated status inside the bounded fence, the rescan case, and
the heading-tokenizer caveat (at indent 0 the tokenizer applies
CommonMark's own fence rule, so a heading after a stray delimiter is
body text there, exactly as on `next`).

Reverted in isolation against the final tree: 3 named tests fail.

* fix(#3702): `0.` starts an ordered list (M1)

The start-at-1 rule applied unconditionally dropped ONLY the first item
of a `0.`-numbered list — the run then started at `1.` — which is the
mixed under-report that looks like a clean parse. CommonMark §5.2
permits any 1-9-digit start and a `0.` list is ordinary; a sentence
opening with "0." is not a shape anyone writes. The threshold is now
`> 1`. The cost is restated accurately in the doc comment and pinned:
a list starting at 2 or more, at a paragraph position, reads as prose
until its first `0.`/`1.` line — the prefix, not the whole list.

Boundary tests at the threshold itself: `0.`, `1.`, `2.` starts, `00.`/
`01.`, and the prefix-loss case. Reverted in isolation: 1 named test
fails.

* fix(#3702): a non-1 ordinal is an item wherever a list is already open at its level (M2)

The per-indent run memory recorded whether the previous opener was
ORDERED, so a bullet item closed the run and `1. a` / `- b` / `5. c`
folded `5. c` into `b` — another mixed-file under-report. In CommonMark
`5. c` there opens a fresh ordered list (start=5): a non-1 start is
refused only where it would interrupt a PARAGRAPH (§5.3), and after a
list item it interrupts nothing. `ListRuns` now records "a list is
open here"; the start rule applies where no list is open at the line's
level — the positions a sentence can occupy — so the round-2 B2 pins
(doc start, after a heading, after a paragraph) hold unchanged.

Two round-2 pins move with it, both CommonMark-backed: `1. alpha` /
`- beta` / `2. gamma` is three items, and a nested `3. status:` after
a nested bullet is a nested item (a field line, as `- status:` would
be); the "rejected ordinal is not stripped" pin is re-anchored at a
paragraph position, where it still holds. Reverted in isolation: 4
named tests fail.

* docs(#3702): the two runtime-loaded docs state the grammar the parser ships (B3, M4 parity)

`executor-examples.md` (the write-site doc) and `forensic-audit.md`
check 7 (the model-executed parser) both asserted "never silently drops
a possibly-open item" over a grammar that dropped three measured shapes.
Both now carry the round-5 grammar — `0.`/`1.` starts, a non-1 ordinal
inside an open list, an unclosed fence ending with its own entry — and
the fail-safe sentence is kept with what it does NOT cover named
beside it: a fenced line, a separator, and an ordered list numbered
from `2.` upward at a paragraph position, and nothing else.

* docs(#3702): changeset reflects the merged contract

The "Breaking, and deliberate: … HALTS complete-milestone" paragraph
described a refusal that #3781 removed from `next`; a heading-shaped
file written with a newly recognised marker now surfaces its entries
and `complete-milestone` acknowledges them in place. The fragment cites
#3702 alone — #3740 and #3775 closed on `next` through #3940 and #3989;
this PR's shared reader/writer classifier subsumes both fixes rather
than closing either issue. The round-5 grammar (ordered start, unclosed
fence bound) is stated in the user-facing sentence.

* fix(#3702): the heading-shape insert lands on a line the reader reads, and keeps a closing `#` sequence

Found by the round's pre-push adversarial review. An entry whose body ends
in a fenced block — closed, or unclosed and therefore running to the
entry's end — received `status: acknowledged` AFTER its last non-blank
line, i.e. as fence content: the writer returned `ok` and the reader
never saw the marker, the item stayed outstanding. That is the #3702
class itself (a write nothing reads), on the shape #3781 just opened.
The insert now walks back over blank AND fenced lines, classified by the
reader's own `fencedLineSet`, so the marker lands on a line the reader
reads; pinned as round-trips for an unclosed fence, a closed fence, and
a pending entry ending in an unclosed fence before a heading. Reverted
in isolation: the round-trip test fails.

Separately, the leaf line-0 rewrite (`### status: open ###`) dropped the
closing `#` sequence; it is kept now. Cosmetic, pinned.

* docs(#3702): the prose parser states the bare-key case rule; both docs say what an unclosed fence does, no more

`forensic-audit.md` check 7 called `status: resolved` case-insensitive
where the code reads a bare key lower-case only (the bolded form in any
case; the value case-insensitively) — `executor-examples.md` already said
so, the model-executed parser did not. And both docs claimed "a stray
delimiter cannot hide the entries after it", which overstates B1: an
UNCLOSED fence ends with its entry; a closed pair of delimiters is a
fence, whatever sits between them, as CommonMark reads it. Found by the
round's pre-push review.

* fix(#3702): a heading whose text is a fence delimiter is a heading, not a fence

Second finding of the round's pre-push review, one door over from the
first: for a leaf headed `### ```` (or `~~~`) the entry-level fence scan
read line 0 — the heading TEXT, not a Markdown line — as a fence opener,
so every body line was fenced: the reader read no field under it, and
the writer's marker (placed by the same scan) landed on a line nothing
reads — `ok`, item outstanding. `entryFencedLines` now owns the entry's
fence view for reader and writer alike, and a leaf's line 0 never opens
a fence (the leaf tell is `openerFlags[0] === false`; a pending or
headless entry's line 0 is a marker line, never a delimiter). Pinned for
both delimiters, read and write; reverted in isolation the pin fails.

15af0f5536 enhance(#3951): B6+B7 — widen two unreachable lint rules and make the guard ledger true (#3965)
* fix(#3951): two lint rules that could not reach the code they govern

B6 names two widenings. Measuring them first turned up a defect the criterion did
not know about, and refuted the reason it gave for one of them.

1. no-adhoc-markdown-parsing self-gates on its own filename.

   Lines 107-110 short-circuit create() to {} unless the path matches
   /(?:^|\/)src\/[^/]+\.cts$/. B6 says to widen the files: glob in
   eslint.config.mjs - but doing only that ships an INERT rule, because the gate
   still returns {} for every new path. Both halves have to change, and the gate
   is the load-bearing one.

   That same regex hides a live hole: [^/]+ is FLAT-ONLY, so it requires the file
   to sit directly in src/. The registered glob is src/**/*.cts, which includes
   subdirectories. 28 .cts files - health-diagnostic-rules/ (10),
   installer-migrations/ (11), observability/ (3), host-integration-adapters/ (2),
   vendor/ (2) - are inside the registered glob and silently skipped.

   Measured with the gate neutralized: 0 violations there today. The hole is
   hiding nothing right now, and is fixed anyway, because "no violations today" is
   not a property that keeps holding.

   The fix is not invented: require-subprocess-timeout.cjs:196 already carries the
   correct form of this guard, /(?:^|\/)src\/.*\.cts$/ with .*, one directory over.
   Checked the other 21 rules for the same bug - no-adhoc-regex-escape and
   no-private-binary-resolution short-circuit only to exempt their own seam file,
   which is the right shape, and no-crlf-fragile-split has no filename gate at
   all. This bug is unique to the one rule.

2. no-adhoc-regex-escape could not see the shape that actually occurs.

   Line 396 gated the whole UNSAFE-NEW-REGEXP arm on arg.type === 'Identifier'.
   Every check below it - the _SOURCE provenance check, the
   isSoleReturnOfOwnParameter shape - lives inside that branch, so
   new RegExp(obj['key']) and new RegExp(cfg.pattern) were never examined at all.
   Runtime data arrives as a property access far more often than as a bare
   identifier, which is exactly why this rule never fired on the #3477 ReDoS.

   Widened to MemberExpression, measured by AST walk across all five registered
   blocks rather than by grep. 27 sites, zero TSAsExpression:

     18  safe new RegExp(X.source, flags)  -> exempted, keyed strictly on the
         PROPERTY being `source`, never on the object. Keying on the object would
         wave through X.anything and buy nothing. B6 estimated ~10; that was an
         undercount.
      3  _SOURCE-suffixed constants reached through a required module namespace
         (phaseId.BRACKET_PHASE_TOKEN_SOURCE) -> the same provenance-exempt class
         the rule already recognizes for bare identifiers, extended to reach them.
         Without this the widening produces 3 false flags.
      6  real findings -> marked, each a test extracting a pattern from a shipped
         file at test time, where the runtime contract IS the product.

   Deliberately the NARROW MemberExpression form. The rule's own
   isSoleReturnOfOwnParameter doc comment records that an earlier broad
   "any non-literal identifier" heuristic produced ~25 false positives and was
   rejected; a re-run of the census after this change flags exactly the 6 above
   and nothing else.

Verified by execution, not by reading: the gate now accepts src/<subdir>/x.cts,
still accepts flat src/x.cts, and still exempts paths outside src/ - each pinned
by a test proven to fail against the old regex. build:lib, lint and lint:ci all
exit 0.

* fix(#3951): give no-adhoc-markdown-parsing its reach, and fix the 80 parses it finds

The rule self-gates on filename AND is registered on one glob, so widening either
half alone is inert. Both move here: the gate now accepts tests/**/*.cjs and
scripts/**/*.cjs alongside src/**/*.cts, and eslint.config.mjs registers it on the
same two.

A test pins that the gate and the registration AGREE, in both directions. The
original defect was a gate narrower than its registration; the failure mode of
this fix is a gate wider than its registration. Both are silent, so the test
asserts the pair rather than either half.

80 violations across 43 files, all in tests/, zero in scripts/. 70 are routed
through the existing seams - scanFencedBlocks, collectSection, stripFencedCode,
tokenizeHeadings from markdown-sectionizer; splitTableRow, parseMarkdownTable,
findTableWithColumns from markdown-table. Headerless STATE.md tables use
splitTableRow per line, because parseMarkdownTable needs a real delimiter row.

10 are suppressed, 12.5%, well under the third that would have meant the rule is
mis-scoped for tests/ rather than the tests carrying debt. Each names its reason:
three regression guards (#3873 / bug-#21) are deliberately independent of the
generator's own fence handling, and routing them through the seam would have them
test the generator against itself; one is a negative-text probe that extracts
nothing; six are a shell-pipe-to-jq detector whose regex coincidentally matches the
table fingerprint and is not markdown parsing at all.

All ten sit in tests whose subject is .md content, which is normally a reason to
prefer the seam. The marker used is allow-adhoc-markdown, distinct from
no-source-grep's allow-test-rule, and lint:ci's lint-allow-test-rule-refs reports
the same 280/280 unverified count as before - checked rather than assumed, because
those two markers are easy to conflate.

The widening earned its keep immediately: it found a test that passed for the
wrong reason.

  tests/config-field-docs.test.cjs asserted notEqual(<cell>, '600') against the
  TYPE column instead of the DEFAULT column. notEqual('number', '600') is true
  forever, so the guard against workflow.subagent_timeout regressing to the old
  seconds default could never fire. docs/CONFIGURATION.md:434 is
  `| workflow.subagent_timeout | number | 300000 | ... |`, so the default is cell
  index 2; the assertion is now row-scoped through splitTableRow and reads 300000.

That is the argument for the widening in one case: the violation was invisible to
lint, the suite was green, and the assertion was vacuous. A rule that cannot reach
a file cannot tell you the file is lying.

Not fixed here, and recorded rather than assumed: #3426/#3239 are NOT reachable by
this widening. tests/package-legitimacy-gate.test.cjs yields zero violations even
with the gate bypassed - its hand-rolled scans are real, but built from line
filters and split('|') rather than the regex-literal fingerprints this rule
detects. They need new detectors. The epic assumed a wider glob would catch them.

build:lib, lint and lint:ci all exit 0; the post-fix census across tests/** and
scripts/** is 0 violations.

* fix(#3951): B7 — and #3356's defects were still live in the code

B7 asks that each closed child be driven fail-first with a behavioral identity
test at the CONSUMER's output. Four of eleven children had no test citing their
issue number. Auditing them by BEHAVIOR rather than by number-grep changed the
answer for three of the four.

#3364 and #2540 — traceability only. Both were implemented by #3941 and their
consumer-output tests exist and were shown failing-first; neither cited its
originating issue, so an audit that greps for the number reports them uncovered.
Tagged the specific asserting test in each file, following the citation form those
files already use.

#3372 — covered, but only at helper level, and the triage narrowed it. Of the four
commands the issue names, only estimate-cli's collectCalibrationSamples actually
enumerates phase dirs from disk; smart-entry, audit and roadmap-upgrade derive from
ROADMAP/body text and never reach the sentinel path, so they are benign by
construction and were left alone rather than "fixed" into churn. The existing #3882
rows asserted the helper's return value. Added a consumer-output test driving
`query estimate-calibrate` and asserting sample_count and the persisted document.
RED proof: reverted collectCalibrationSamples to a raw readdirSync and ran the real
CLI - sample_count 3, sentinel leaked; restored - sample_count 2.

#3356 — NOT covered, and BOTH halves of the defect were still live in source. The
issue is closed; the bug was not fixed. Fixed here rather than writing tests that
document a bug as correct.

  Defect 1, the contradicted row. quick.md:627 claimed
  `quick-tasks-append` performs "the equivalent write" to the Step 7c row. It did
  not: the `#` cell was a positional ordinal and `Directory` read `—`, because the
  route had no way to receive a quick id or task directory. Added OPTIONAL
  `--quick-id` / `--slug` / `--directory`. A caller with neither - fast.md, the
  original #2133 caller - omits them and gets the byte-identical prior row, so
  nothing existing changes. A caller that HAS a real id and directory now gets the
  canonical row quick.md:632 renders. The false-equivalence sentence itself is
  corrected rather than left to mislead the next reader.

  Defect 2, the forced re-derive. The route called readModifyWriteStateMd with no
  options, so a body-only append to the Quick Tasks table triggered a full
  re-derive of the disk-derived progress.* frontmatter. Every other body-only
  writer passes { resync: false } - src/state.cts's own docstring prescribes it -
  and this route was the lone outlier. RED proof: reverted the option, seeded a
  project with 2 real phase dirs and a curated total_phases of 25, ran
  quick-tasks-append; total_phases collapsed to 2. Restored; it stayed 25.

That second one is the shape this epic exists to close: a silent write that
replaces curated state with a re-derivation nobody asked for, exit 0 throughout.

build:lib, lint and lint:ci all exit 0.

* docs(#3951): amend B6's ledger to what was measured, and document the new flags

The ADR gains a ledger amendment in its own correction style - the sixth wrong
premise it records, found the same way as the other five, by measuring before
building.

B6 says the net guard count must fall. It rose: 62 -> 69, +7, measured from the
epic's filing commit to origin/next. The attribution is the point, though. Five of
the seven came from PRs unrelated to this epic, one was added by a phase of it, and
the epic did retire something sub-file - #3884 removed a detector with an explicit
"net: -1 detector, 0 added" ledger. Every named casualty is load-bearing, two
already carry retractions in this same document, and a sweep of all 22 rules plus
every scripts/lint-* found no provably dead guard. There is no honest way to make
the count fall; forcing it would trade coverage for a number, which is the Goodhart
outcome Decision 6 exists to prevent.

The amendment also records that B6's own prescribed fix for one widening was inert.
no-adhoc-markdown-parsing self-gates on its filename, so widening only the files:
glob - which is what the criterion says to do - ships a rule that still returns {}
for every new path. And #3426/#3239 are not reachable by that widening at all;
their scans use line filters and split('|'), not the regex fingerprints the rule
detects. The roster row tracked them against the wrong mechanism.

Three roster rows updated from aspiration to fact: the two widenings are DONE with
their measured counts, and lint-phase-enumeration-drift is marked RETAINED rather
than "expected casualty - verify before retiring", because Phase 5 verified it and
kept it.

The rule Decision 6 should carry forward is stated plainly: a guard ledger is a
claim about COVERAGE, not about COUNT. "Net count must fall" is measurable and
wrong. "Every guard is reachable, and each retirement names what makes its defect
unrepresentable" is the property that was actually wanted.

CLI-TOOLS.md documents the optional --quick-id/--slug/--directory flags and says
plainly that omitting them keeps the pre-#3356 row byte-identical, plus that the
append no longer re-derives progress frontmatter.

New features fragment (id 3951); FEATURES.md regenerated rather than hand-edited.
Changeset is Changed, pr:0 pending backfill.

* test(#3951): correct four rows that pinned the lint rule's old narrow reach

The remote suite came back RED with 5 failures, all in tests/eslint-rules.test.cjs.
They are stale tests, not a regression: four rows assert that
no-adhoc-markdown-parsing is inert outside src/*.cts, which is exactly the
contract this deliverable changes.

Confirmed by reading rather than inferred from the names - the row at :1981 used
filename: 'tests/some.test.cjs' and filename: 'scripts/helper.cjs', the two roots
the rule now covers on purpose.

Worth recording WHY local gates missed this. npm run lint and lint:ci were green,
and the touched test files passed standalone. Lint only reports violations in real
files; these rows assert the rule's REACH using synthetic RuleTester filenames, so
nothing but the full suite could see them. Local green on a rule change says
nothing about the rule's own tests.

Each row is rewritten with BOTH halves rather than flipped from valid to invalid:

  - the same fingerprint under tests/ or scripts/ is now flagged, with the right
    messageId
  - the negative space is preserved - the same fingerprint under a path outside
    all three roots (gsd-core/bin/lib/foo.cjs) is still NOT flagged

The second half is the one that matters. Without it the rule has no boundary and
nothing would catch an over-wide gate later, which is the mirror image of the bug
this deliverable just fixed.

Each row is renamed to state the current contract; the old names said
"non-src/*.cts ... is not flagged" and would have been actively misleading once
the bodies changed.

Proven to test the widening rather than restate it: every flagged half was run
against HEAD~2's pre-widening rule and does NOT fire there, then against the
current rule and does. 12/12 on that probe; the full file is 178/178.

Swept for the same staleness elsewhere and found none.
require-subprocess-timeout's own "inert outside src/*.cts" row is untouched -
that rule's gate was not widened here - and no-adhoc-regex-escape's test file
already carries correctly-targeted rows.

* test(#3951): acknowledge the quick.md growth the attribution guard reported

The full suite came back RED with one failure, and it is mine:

  1 file(s) grew without an acknowledgment:
    quick.md grew 364 bytes

gsd-core/workflows/quick.md is runtime-loaded emitted content, so correcting
its false 'performs the equivalent write' claim trips emitted-attribution by
construction. This is the acknowledgment, not a workaround - there is nothing
to regenerate.

The fragment names ONE path, which is the only one the guard reported. The four
spent acknowledgments it also listed (audit-uat, plan-phase, progress, review)
belong to other fragments whose ripple the base already absorbs; they are inert,
not failures, and are deliberately NOT copied here - naming paths I did not
change would make this record false in the other direction.

Byte figure corrected before committing: the guard reported 37220 -> 37584
(+364), but origin/next has since moved and quick.md is 37232 there now, so the
measured delta is +352. The reason text says so and names the base as a moving
figure rather than pinning a number that is already stale.

* test(#3951): move the quick.md growth ack to a trailer, delete the obsolete fragment

The acknowledgment mechanism changed under this branch. Merging next brought in
the redesign - it also deleted .github/workflows/ack-fragment-sweep.yml, which
was in the merge status and which I did not register at the time - and the guard
now says so directly:

  Add a trailer to a commit in this PR (never a new file).
    Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: quick.md - <why this growth is deliberate>

So tests/emitted-drift-acks/3951-quick-append-equivalence.json is obsolete on
arrival. A fragment file is no longer read by anything, and leaving it would be a
dead record that looks like an active one. It is deleted here rather than kept
"just in case".

The byte figure moved again with the merge: 37232 -> 37596, +364. The earlier
fragment said +352, measured before the merge auto-merged quick.md itself. The
trailer carries no number, which is the better design - the figure was stale
twice in two attempts.

Refs #3951

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: quick.md — #3356/#3951 replaces a false claim with an accurate one. Line 627 said the `quick-tasks-append` shortcut "performs the equivalent write" to the Step 7c row rendered above it; it did not, and that was the documented half of #3356 — with no quick id or task directory the route emitted a positional ordinal in `#` and an em-dash in `Directory`, a visibly different row. The corrected sentence has to carry three facts the original elided: what the shortcut actually writes when it has neither input, that this is honest behavior for its real caller (`fast.md`, which has neither), and how a caller with both now gets the byte-identical canonical row via the new optional `--quick-id`/`--slug`/`--directory` flags. Prose is the product here — an executing agent reads this line to decide whether the shortcut is safe for its case, and a shorter correction would either drop the flags (leaving the reader unable to act on the fix) or drop the limitation (recreating the false claim in gentler words).

4e8927b0b9 fix(#3707): degrade the fold for every UAT gap class, and stop line endings hiding rows from the audit and the acceptance gate (#3903)
* test(#3707): failing-first coverage for reverting the fence-shortfall fold shield

Pins the post-revert contract: a phase whose only gap is a fence shortfall must
degrade the fold and withhold the milestone percentages, like every other gap class.

Five of the eight rows are CONTROLS that pass before the change, and they carry more
weight than the failing row. The failure mode of this revert is degrading TOO MUCH:
a revert that sets foldScope outside the headingsSeen > 0 branch would withhold every
percentage in the project, and only the no-gap control catches that. Another control
catches a revert that collapses the two scopes into one and loses the distinction
between what a phase reports and what the fold folds -- uat.scope must stay TRUNCATED
for every gap either way, which it already is.

The row that pinned the shielded behavior is rewritten rather than deleted. Deleting
a test because the behavior it asserts is being reversed leaves the reversal
unguarded.

* fix(#3707): degrade the fold for every UAT gap class, reverting the fence-shortfall shield

Maintainer decision. The two orthogonal engines split on this during #3707 and
neither filed it as blocking, so it shipped in the shape the engine that raised the
objection endorsed after verifying seven fixtures. The call has now gone the other
way, restoring the fail-safe direction chosen twice already on this issue.

The shield exempted one gap class from the fold's teeth. It could not do that
safely: shortfallBlocks is a single tally incremented at exactly one site and spans
BOTH a harmless fenced documentation sample AND a genuinely fence-straddled
result: blocked row. Exempting it therefore could not exempt only the harmless case
-- it also published a milestone percentage over a real, unread outstanding row.
SCOPE.TRUNCATED means the scan could not SEE part of the evidence, which is exactly
that case.

scope and foldScope now agree: every gap class degrades both. The accepted
over-report documented in uat.cts is unchanged and still documented there; what
changed is only that it no longer buys an exemption from the fold.

The comment block above it argued FOR the shield and is rewritten, because a
comment defending behavior the code no longer has is worse than no comment.
shortfallBlocks leaves this function's destructure but is untouched upstream, where
audit-uat still consumes it.

* fix(#3707): correct the caller comment, add the changeset, and name what the order tests guard

Review found a SECOND comment still documenting the removed shield -- the caller's,
beside the worstScope fold, stating that foldScope differs from scope for exactly
one case which must not raise phase_scope_degraded or withhold the milestone's
percentages. That is now the opposite of what the code does. I rewrote the
buildUatRows comment in the previous commit and asserted in its message that a
comment defending behavior the code no longer has is worse than no comment, then
left exactly that one standing a few hundred lines away.

The change had no changeset. It is user-visible: a milestone's percentage goes from
published to withheld whenever any phase has a fence-shortfall-only gap. PR gates
hard-fail a user-facing code diff without one.

The two scopes are now identical at every return site. They are NOT collapsed --
that would change the return shape and the caller on what is meant to be a
one-condition revert, and the seam is worth keeping if the distinction is ever
wanted again -- but the declaration now says plainly that they agree by decision
rather than by accident, so a reader does not have to re-derive it.

The two order-independence tests were renamed. foldScope is monotonic with no reset
path, so file order is structurally irrelevant and those rows could never have
failed for the ordering reason their names promised. They do guard something real --
a multi-file phase degrading when any one file has a shortfall-only gap -- so they
now say that instead.

* test(#3707): failing-first coverage for the lone-CR UAT false-clean

The parser splits on newline only, and the heading tokenizer agrees with it, so a
lone carriage return is not a line boundary anywhere in it. CommonMark treats a lone
CR as a line ending, so such a row renders to a human reader while being invisible
to BOTH sides of the parser's symmetry invariant: no item, no shortfall, no
headingsSeen. A phase hiding a result: blocked row this way reports 100 percent with
zero diagnostics.

Found by the security review of the fold-shield revert. It is the one false-clean
class that revert does not reach, and it is the same bug class this issue exists to
fix -- an unreadable row reported as clean.

Nine rows. The LF control is what proves this is a separator defect rather than a
content defect: identical bodies, one separator apart, and only one of them hides
the row. CRLF and CR-inside-a-fence controls guard the coming normalization against
double-counting or tearing content that legitimately contains a carriage return.
Two further manifestations turned up while writing them: a leading CR breaks
column-0 anchoring of the first heading, and an all-CR document flags a shortfall it
cannot attribute to any row.

* fix(#3707): treat a lone carriage return as a line ending in the UAT parser

A lone CR was not a line boundary anywhere in the parser -- it split on newline
only, and the heading tokenizer agreed with it. CommonMark treats a lone CR as a
line ending, so such a row rendered to a human reader while being invisible to BOTH
sides of the parser's symmetry invariant: no item, no shortfall, no headingsSeen. A
phase hiding a result: blocked row that way reported 100 percent with zero
diagnostics.

Line endings are now normalized once at document ingress -- CRLF and lone CR both to
newline -- at the two independent entry points, rather than teaching each split site
about CR. Every downstream scan, offset and span therefore reads one convention.
That single-frame property is deliberate: this issue already cost a HIGH when two
scans read the same document through different frames.

MY OWN END-TO-END TEST WAS WRONG and is replaced rather than weakened. It asserted
that a lone-CR document must withhold its percentage, which reasons from the
pre-fix symptom: after the fix the row is not hidden, it is surfaced, and this
module deliberately keeps visible outstanding UAT work separate from completion
percentages -- only unreadable evidence degrades scope. The success of the fix is
what made the assertion false. The implementing agent refused to satisfy both it and
the architecture and asked instead of bending either; it was right.

What replaces it is a stronger contract: a lone-CR document and its LF twin, built
from one source, must produce identical audit output -- scope, percent, every
unresolved row by identity, and the diagnostic set. That is what 'a line-ending
convention must not change what the audit reports' actually means, and it carries a
non-vacuity check so it cannot pass with both sides empty.

shortfallBlocks keeps being returned, now documented as currently unconsumed. An
earlier reviewer told me audit-uat still consumed it and I passed that on as an
instruction; it was wrong, and it was caught by checking rather than by me.

* fix(#3707): normalize at the document read boundary, not at two call sites

The lone-CR fix was half-applied and both review engines caught it independently.
cmdAuditUat has four document ingresses, not the two I normalized: VERIFICATION.md
and deferred-items.md still handed raw text to newline-only splitters, and the
frontmatter extract in the UAT loop read raw content while its parser read
normalized -- one audit entry mixing the two frames the fix exists to unify.
Measured: a phase written twice from one source gave total_files 2 / total_items 4
under LF and results [] / total_items 0 under lone CR, with zero diagnostics.

Normalizing two call sites and declaring it done is exactly why two were missed, so
this moves it to the read boundary: every document now enters through a helper that
normalizes, in audit-uat, in planning-inspect's readDocument, and in the shared
verification-status read. Future parsers downstream get normalized text by
construction rather than because someone remembered.

That last seam also fixes an under-reporting case of the same root: a lone-CR
VERIFICATION.md saying status: passed was read as missing, telling the user a verify
step that had completed never ran.

The parity test's load-bearing assertion is now marked as such. Four of its five
equality checks still pass with the bug present -- only the unresolved-row identity
differs -- so trimming that one as redundant would make the row vacuous.

Second changeset added: the CR fix is user-visible independently of the fold revert,
and one fragment covering both would have described neither.

* test(#3707): failing-first coverage for the U+2028 and duplicate-result false-cleans

Two more of the same class, both found by the security review of this branch and
both reproduced before writing a line.

normalizeLineEndings folds only carriage returns, but a JS /m anchor also treats
U+2028 and U+2029 as line terminators while split on newline does not. That is the
identical asymmetry the carriage-return bug exploited, one separator over, and worse
in one respect: these are not CommonMark line endings, so a reader still sees the
column-0 result: blocked that the tool discards. Measured: a scalar-internal
result: pass placed after U+2028 wins over the real blocked line and the row
disappears with no gap raised.

Separately, and independent of any separator, a block with two column-0 result:
lines resolves to the first with no ambiguity signalled. Prepending result: pass to
a block therefore deletes an outstanding row silently; reversing the order surfaces
it. Order deciding meaning is the defect, so the pair of rows pins the contract as
ambiguity-is-a-gap rather than last-one-wins, leaving the fix room to implement the
gap sensibly.

Four controls: an ordinary marker in the same position (proving separator not
content), legitimate U+2028 inside prose that must not be torn, a single result line,
and a result line inside a fence that must not count as a second occurrence.

* fix(#3707): scan result lines by split, not by a multiline anchor

Two more false-cleans from the security review, both closed by the same change.

A JS /m anchor treats U+2028 and U+2029 as line terminators while split on newline
does not. A scalar-internal result: pass placed after one of those separators
therefore matched as a line start and beat the real column-0 result: blocked, and
the row vanished at 100 percent with no gap. Worse than the carriage-return case in
one respect: these are not CommonMark line endings, so a reader still saw the
blocked row the tool discarded.

Separately, the non-global match returned the leftmost hit, so a block with two
column-0 result: lines silently resolved to the first. Prepending result: pass
deleted an outstanding row; reversing the order surfaced it. Order deciding meaning
was the defect.

Both close by scanning lines produced by split rather than by anchoring a regex
inside the whole document: each line is tested on its own, and a count other than
exactly one is reported as a parse gap instead of resolved to either candidate.

I asked for U+2028 to be folded in normalizeLineEndings and that was wrong. Folding
is length-preserving, so it would have made the U+2028 fixture byte-identical to the
genuine two-result-line fixture -- while one requires a confident item and the other
requires an ambiguity gap. No implementation can satisfy both once the distinguishing
character is erased. The agent proved that and deviated rather than forcing it, which
is why normalizeLineEndings still folds only carriage returns, now with a comment
saying why.

* fix(#3707): bound the ambiguity scan at the next heading-shaped line

The split-based result scan regressed four pre-existing #3078/#3707 guards, each
off by exactly one gap.

My diagnosis was wrong. I read the off-by-one as double counting -- zero-result
blocks taking both the new path and the pre-existing one -- and said to change the
ambiguity condition from not-equal-one to greater-than-one. The agent checked and
refused: the zero path was never duplicated. The real cause is double ATTRIBUTION.
A block is sliced to the next TOKENIZED heading, so when the next row is untokenized
-- hidden by a straddling fence, or indented and already counted by the shortfall
scan -- that row's own result: line is absorbed into the previous block. The scan
then saw two result lines across what are really two rows and raised a second,
redundant gap on top of the one already counted elsewhere.

Had the greater-than-one change gone in, the counts would have matched while the
double attribution stayed. That is the compensating-adjustment failure I had asked
it to refuse, and it did.

The scan is now bounded at the first following heading-shaped line, either indent
class, so a genuine same-block ambiguity is untouched while spillover from a row
counted elsewhere is excluded.

* fix(#3707): keep the U+2028 immunity, revert the ambiguity detection

The ambiguity half of this change regressed the suite twice and is coming out.

Attempt one double-attributed: a block is sliced to the next TOKENIZED heading, so
when the real next row is untokenized its result: line was absorbed into the
previous block and raised a second gap on a row already counted elsewhere. Four
guards broke.

Attempt two bounded the scan at the next heading-shaped line and broke thirty. An
indented ### N. inside a block scalar is legitimate scalar CONTENT, not a heading,
and truncating there defeats every #3078 guard that exists to stop scalar bodies
being read as rows. Telling a genuinely hidden indented row apart from indented
scalar text is a classification countUnattributedIndentedRows already owns; a raw
regex does not have that information.

What survives is the half that is sound and was never implicated in either
regression: the result scan tests each line produced by split rather than anchoring
a regex with the multiline flag over the whole block. split never treats U+2028 or
U+2029 as a delimiter, so those separators can no longer manufacture a line start
and steal a row. Everything else returns to first-match-wins, byte-identical to
origin/next.

The two tests pinning ambiguity-as-a-gap are removed with it, since the contract is
no longer implemented here. The defect they described is real, pre-existing and
independent of any separator -- result: pass before result: blocked silently deletes
an outstanding row -- and it needs its own change with a scalar-aware counter rather
than being wedged into a branch already carrying three fixes.

* fix(#3707): correct the shared-seam rationale and restore U+2028 trailing text

The revert left a stale rationale in core-utils, justifying the decision not to fold
U+2028 by claiming uat.cts must tell a fake line start apart from a real second
column-0 result: declaration that gets flagged as ambiguous. Nothing flags ambiguity
any more; that behavior was reverted and the same file says so a few lines away. The
decision is still right, the stated reason was false.

This is the third stale comment this branch has shipped and had to fix, and the worst
placed of them: core-utils is a shared leaf that every future document consumer will
read for guidance. Rewritten to the true reason -- the scan tests each split line
individually rather than anchoring over the block, so an exotic separator cannot
manufacture a line start and folding is unnecessary.

Also a real behavior delta I had not noticed. Dropping the multiline flag left the
pattern's trailing .*$ in place, and dot never matches U+2028, so a genuine column-0
result: blocked whose TRAILING text contained one stopped parsing entirely -- a
visible parse gap rather than a false clean, so fail-safe, but a regression against
origin/next that nothing pinned. The trailing portion now matches any character and
a test pins it by identity against its plain-LF twin.

Plus the JSDoc orphaned when normalizeLineEndings moved to core-utils, and the
changeset, which described neither the separator fix nor planning-inspect surfacing
lone-CR rows.

* fix(#3707): harden the acceptance gate, which had both halves of the same bug

uat-predicate is a SECOND, independent UAT parser, and it is the one that decides
phase uat-passed. It read raw bytes and anchored a multiline regex over unsplit
text -- exactly the two defects this branch closed one module away in uat.cts.

The consequence is worse than the audit surface it mirrors. Measured on identical
bytes: a U+2028 scalar injection made the gate return passed true while planning
inspect reported the same row as blocked and outstanding. The hardened surface and
the gate disagreed, and the gate was the permissive one -- so a phase could be
accepted over a row the audit could see and the gate could not.

Both raw reads now go through the shared normalize seam and both scans test lines
produced by split rather than anchoring over the document. First-match-wins,
matching uat.cts; no ambiguity counting is reintroduced. Tests assert the AGREEMENT
between the two surfaces rather than each separately, because divergence is the
defect.

Also finishes the same root cause one module over: phase complete's advisory
pre-scan read raw bytes, so a lone-CR VERIFICATION.md lost its human_needed or
gaps_found warning -- the fix verification.cts already got on this branch.

And narrows the core-utils rationale I reworded last commit, which claimed consumers
already avoid multiline anchors. uat.cts still has five over unsplit text. That is
the fourth comment on this branch to assert something the code does not do, so it
now states only what is true of core-utils itself.

* fix(#3707): give structure and attribution different line frames, normalize the close audit

Two more from review, and the first was a regression I introduced one commit
earlier.

Converting the gate's heading scan to split-then-match removed a detection
origin/next had: a ### N. heading delimited by U+2028 was found by the old multiline
scan and was not found after. So hardening the result scan quietly weakened the
heading scan, and the gate stopped blocking on rows origin/next blocked -- the
permissive direction, on the surface that decides acceptance.

The insight I had missed is that the two scans need DIFFERENT frames. Heading
detection is structure: there is no distinction to preserve, so it splits on newline
or either exotic separator and finds a heading however it is delimited. The result
scan is attribution: the newline-only frame is exactly what stops a scalar-internal
result: from being read as a column-0 line, so it stays. One frame applied uniformly
was the error.

Second, a THIRD unnormalized parser family: the milestone-close audit read every
artifact raw. A lone-CR VERIFICATION.md degraded to status unknown and was skipped,
and deferred entries vanished outright -- measured as three items requiring
decisions under LF and one under CR, on identical bytes. All nine scanner reads now
normalize; six of them had the identical defect beyond the three review named. The
acknowledge path stays deliberately raw, since it splices by byte offset, and now
says so.

Also pins the cross-newline result: divergence, and replaces three raw U+2028
literals in test source with escapes. A raw separator in a fixture is one formatter
away from becoming an ordinary-character control that still passes -- vacuous in the
only test pinning the separator fix.

* fix(#3707): share one frame between the acknowledge writer and the audit reader

Normalizing the audit scanners left the writer and the reader on different frames.
cmdAuditAcknowledge derives its stored snapshot values from raw content -- correct
for the SPLICE, which rewrites by byte offset -- but scanUatGaps and
scanContextQuestions now recompute those same values from normalized content. For a
lone-CR artifact the two can never match, so an acknowledgement never suppresses its
item and it resurfaces on every audit: acknowledge became a silent no-op.

Fail-safe in direction, since the item stays visible rather than being wrongly
suppressed, but it is the writer and reader disagreeing about what a line is -- the
exact class this branch exists to eliminate, and the fourth instance of it here.

The derive functions now read a normalized copy while the splice keeps raw bytes and
raw offsets, so both sides share one frame and the byte-offset rewrite is untouched.
Round trip pinned for lone-CR and LF, with an existing LF marker asserted still
recognised so the change cannot silently invalidate acknowledgements already in
users' files.

Also tightens an assertion that pinned this branch's own heading fix with a proxy:
notStrictEqual against 'passed' also passes on 'pass', which IS a passing token, so
it could not have caught a regression attributing a passing result to the recovered
heading. It now pins the exact token.

* chore(#3707): backfill changeset pr numbers

Both fragments still carried the pr: 0 placeholder, which failed changeset-lint and
docs-lint on PR 3903. The review had flagged the backfill as pending and I opened
the PR without doing it.

cf15682d1c enhance(#3028): responsive Markdown separators instead of fixed-width rules (#3789)
* feat(#3028): responsive Markdown separators instead of fixed-width rules

Stage banners, checkpoints, completion and error panels used fixed-width
runs of box-drawing characters -- a 53-column heavy rule and a 62-column
double-line box. Those runs are ordinary text to a Markdown-rendering
host, so in a narrower pane they wrap and the border comes apart from
the heading it framed.

Shipped content now emits an ATX heading for a titled section and a
blank-line-delimited --- for a break between sections, both of which
adapt to the available width. The same convention is applied to the
three code sites that built these strings at runtime: the UAT
checkpoint renderer, the milestone-close audit report, and the TDD
review checkpoint table.

Removing the box also removes its only reason to exist -- the
east-asian-width padding helpers that kept its right border aligned
(checkpointBoxLine, displayWidth, isWideCodePoint, ZERO_WIDTH_MARK_RE,
CHECKPOINT_BOX_WIDTH). RTL directional isolation is unchanged.

The convention is specified in gsd-core/references/ui-brand.md and
enforced across all shipped content by tests/responsive-separators.test.cjs.

Refs #3028

* test(#3028): pin the heading form in checkpoint and audit-report assertions

These suites asserted the exact box borders and the 62-column padded
banner interior. With the box gone they assert the ### heading form,
the --- break and the bolded instruction line, and each now carries a
positive assertion that no box character remains -- which is what pins
the fix rather than merely tolerating it.

Language coverage is converted, not dropped: Japanese, Chinese, Korean,
Hindi and Arabic all still assert their rendered banner, and the Arabic
case still asserts the RTL directional isolates the box removal must
not disturb. Adds a case for a banner longer than the old inner width,
which previously produced a ragged border and now has none.

Refs #3028

* chore(#3028): acknowledge execute-plan.md growth from the checkpoint display spec

The checkpoint_protocol display spec described the drawn box; it now
describes the heading, the --- break and the bolded action prompt,
which costs 22 bytes (40111 -> 40133, 827 under the cap).

Appended to the existing #3370 fragment rather than filed as a new one:
a growth ack keys on the bare filename and #3370 already declares
execute-plan.md, so a second source naming it would be a hard
duplicate-key error. Same supersede-by-append route #3370 took for the
spent #2652 fragment.

Refs #3028

* docs(#3028): state the load-bearing half of the separator rule, and amend the zh-CN reference

Review found three things.

The rule as first written demanded a blank line above AND below every
---. Only the one above is load-bearing: it is what stops CommonMark
reading the rule as a setext underline for the line above. The one below
is cosmetic, because a thematic break is a leaf block. The rule now says
that, with the reason, instead of asserting a stricter form the content
does not keep.

The zh-CN reference had received the mechanical box-to-heading swap but
none of the prose behind it: it still claimed a 62-character checkpoint
width and still listed --- among forbidden mixed banner styles, so it
contradicted the convention it was translating. It now carries the
separator section, the setext reasoning, the unconditional-vs-per-runtime
rationale and a corrected anti-pattern list, in Chinese.

The user guide asserted that a heading is not a degradation anywhere.
That is an assertion, not a demonstration. It now says what was actually
traded away in a plain terminal, points at the recorded rationale, and
invites the report that would justify the capability flag instead.

abf3cf7c25 fix(#3458): scan archived milestone phases, and make [A] Acknowledge actually suppress (#3555)
* fix(#3458): scan archived milestone phases in the four audit-open scanners

`query audit-open` resolved exactly one phase root, `.planning/phases/`. When a
milestone closes its phase directories move to
`.planning/milestones/v<X.Y>-phases/`, so an item still unresolved at that
moment — the `[R]/[A]/[C]` prompt accepts "accept" and "carry forward", not only
"resolve" — became invisible to the v1.1 pre-close audit and every audit after
it. The window in which an unresolved item is visible to this gate was exactly
one milestone wide, and nothing announced when it closed.

Reproduced before fixing, with byte-identical artifacts in the two layouts and
the active layout as the control:

  active   → has_open_items=true   deferred=1  uat_gaps=1  total=2
  archived → has_open_items=false  deferred=0  uat_gaps=0  total=0

`scanDeferredItems`' own doc comment names this as the thing it was built to
prevent — "phase directories archive to `milestones/vX.Y-phases/` (#1871) and
the entry leaves the live tree having never been triaged" — while the
implementation eleven lines below cannot read that path. It catches an entry at
its own milestone close and goes blind at precisely the transition the comment
describes.

This is not cosmetic under-reporting. `auditOpenArtifacts` sums all nine
category counts into `counts.total` and returns `has_open_items: counts.total >
0`, so four blind scanners can flip the gate's headline boolean and let
`/gsd-complete-milestone` assert a clean close it never verified. In a
fully-archived project `.planning/phases/` may not exist at all, and the
scanners' `if (!fs.existsSync(phasesDir)) return []` produced a value
indistinguishable from "nothing is open".

## One enumeration, not four

The four scanners each hand-rolled the same active-only walk. They now share
`listAuditPhaseTargets(planDir, cwd)`, which yields both roots — the shape of
fix epic #3473's B2 asks for, and the reason the fix is one seam rather than
four edits.

Three properties are load-bearing:

  * the ACTIVE enumeration is unchanged — still a raw `readdirSync`, NOT
    `listMilestonePhaseDirs`. These scanners are deliberately not
    milestone-filtered today, and switching would silently add window and
    sentinel filtering: a behavior change belonging to #3372, not here.
  * a missing or unreadable active root skips that half instead of returning
    early. That early return WAS the bug in a fully-archived project.
  * archived dirs are deliberately NOT milestone-filtered, per the comment
    `src/uat.cts` already carries: archived phases belong to past milestones by
    definition, so applying the current-milestone filter discards every one and
    silently reinstates this bug.

Each item now carries `archived_milestone` when it comes from a closed
milestone, matching how the sibling module already labels archived results —
without it an operator triaging `[R]/[A]/[C]` cannot tell a live item from one
carried over. Additive: no existing test or doc asserted an exact key set.

`scripts/lint-phase-enumeration-drift.cjs`'s exemption list for this file drops
from the four scanner names to the single helper, since that is now the only
place the enumeration lives.

## Tests

Written failing-first and confirmed red for the right reason before the fix, all
four driven through the real `audit-open` CLI rather than private functions:
archived-only (was 0/0/0/0 with `has_open_items=false`, now 1/1/1/1 true),
mixed active+archived (was 1/1/1/1 — the archived half dropped — now 2/2/2/2),
active-only unchanged, and an all-resolved archived phase contributing 0.

That last one passed vacuously before the fix, because the archived path was not
reached at all; it was re-verified as genuinely discriminating afterward by
flipping one archived item to unresolved and watching the count rise.

* fix(#3458): restore the scan_error sentinel and show archive provenance

Adversarial review found one BLOCKER that the previous revision introduced,
which a green remote-runner suite did not catch because nothing in the tree
asserts `scan_error` at all.

## The regression

Consolidating four hand-rolled walks into `listAuditPhaseTargets` swallowed the
active-root `readdirSync` throw in a bare `catch {}`. Pre-fix each scanner
returned `[{scan_error: true, …}]`; after, each returned `[]`. Measured with
`.planning/phases` created as a FILE (so `existsSync` passes and `readdirSync`
throws ENOTDIR):

  before this fix: uat_gaps/verification_gaps/context_questions/deferred_items
                   each `[{"scan_error":true,…}]`
  the regression:  each `[]`

`complete-milestone.md` re-runs `audit-open --json` and reads those counts, so a
machine consumer could no longer tell "I/O failed" from "verified clean" — the
exact conflation this issue exists to remove, reintroduced on the failure path.
`listAuditPhaseTargets` now reports `activeUnreadable` and each scanner pushes
the sentinel shape recovered verbatim from `origin/next`, not reinvented.

The docstring claiming the active enumeration was "UNCHANGED" was false while
that sentinel was missing, and is corrected to state what is actually preserved.

An unreadable ARCHIVED root deliberately gets NO sentinel: there was no archived
read before, so there is no consumer contract to preserve, and adding one would
conflate the ordinary "no milestones archived yet" state with a real I/O failure.

## The operator could not see the archive

`formatAuditReport` is the surface the gate actually shows a human —
`complete-milestone.md` runs it without `--json` — and it never rendered
`archived_milestone`. With `01-alpha` in both roots the identical line printed
twice with nothing to tell them apart, and `[R] Resolve` sends the operator to
`.planning/phases/01-alpha/` where the archived one does not exist. Phase
numbering restarts at `01` after each archive, so that collision is the common
case, not an edge case. All four loops now render ` (archived vX.Y)`; active
lines stay byte-identical.

## Archived milestones sorted wrong

`getArchivedPhaseDirs` ordered milestones with `.sort().reverse()` —
lexicographic, so `v1.9` outranked `v1.10`. Measured order for v1.0/v1.9/v1.10
was `v1.9, v1.10, v1.0`. Now a numeric-segment descending compare. Pre-existing,
but this change is what first surfaces it in audit output.

## Tests

The blocker's regression test fails against the previous revision. Added:
`archived_milestone` present on archived items and absent (not `undefined`) on
active ones; the unreadable-active-root sentinel across all four categories; an
unreadable archived root still leaving the active half scanned; the
duplicate-name case producing two distinct entries that the human report
distinguishes; and the v1.10-before-v1.9 ordering.

`docs/COMMANDS.md` documents the archived scanning and the new field.

* fix(#3458): stop filesystem names forging lines in the audit report

Found by the security review of this branch. Pre-existing on `next`, fixed here
because it defeats the exact gate this PR is hardening.

`audit-open`'s human report is the surface `/gsd-complete-milestone` shows an
operator to decide whether a milestone may close. A `.planning/` tree authored
by someone other than that operator — a cloned repo — could contain a directory
literally named:

    zz<newline>0 open items require decisions.<newline><ESC>[2K<ESC>[1G FORGED

and the report printed `0 open items require decisions.` as its own line, with
raw ESC bytes reaching stdout able to erase or overwrite the lines above it.
Reproduced against the real CLI before fixing, and again after.

## Why not just harden sanitizeForDisplay

Because that helper's contract is multi-line prose — it removes protocol-leak
lines while deliberately preserving the newlines between legitimate ones, which
`tests/security.test.cjs` pins. Stripping CR/LF there would have broken a
correct test to paper over a different problem.

The two jobs are genuinely different, so there are now two helpers. New
`sanitizeLabel` (`src/security.cts`) is for values that are semantically ONE
LINE and derived from a filesystem NAME. It ESCAPES rather than strips C0
(including ESC/CR/LF), DEL and C1, so a doctored name renders visibly as
`\n` / `\x1b` instead of being silently normalized — the report stays honest
about what is in the tree. Ordinary input passes through byte-identical.

## Nine sites, not four

The first pass covered the four phase-scoped scanners. A sweep of the rest of
the file found the identical class in five more — `scanDebugSessions`,
`scanQuickTasks`, `scanThreads`, `scanTodos`, `scanSeeds` — emitting
name-derived `slug` / `filename` / `seed_id` through the prose sanitizer.
`scanQuickTasks`' `date` had no sanitization call at all.

Every emitted field in the file is now classified and the sweep recorded:
`slug`, `filename`, `seed_id`, `phase`, `file`, `archived_milestone`, `date` are
name-derived and take `sanitizeLabel`; `hypothesis`, `status`, `updated`,
`title`, `priority`, `area`, `summary`, `questions[]` and deferred-item `text`
are content and keep `sanitizeForDisplay`. No name-derived value reaches output
unsanitized.

`--json` was already safe — JSON string encoding escapes control characters, and
a crafted name cannot break out of the string. Verified rather than assumed.

* chore(#3458): backfill changeset pr number

* test(#3458): skip control-character fixtures where the OS forbids the name

CI red on `test (windows-latest, 24, shard 1/3)`: the four forgery-rejection
tests build directories whose names embed a newline and ESC, and NTFS forbids
control characters in path components, so `mkdir` threw ENOENT.

The remote runner is Linux-only, so it could not have caught this class.

Semantically the skip is honest rather than a workaround: on Windows the
directory-name forgery vector does not exist, because the OS refuses to create
the name. The sanitizer's own behavior stays covered there by the
`sanitizeLabel` unit tests, which are pure string tests with no filesystem
calls — verified.

Uses the repo's established capability-probe convention
(`tests/adr-index-gate.test.cjs`'s `trySymlink`), which `t.skip()`s on the real
errno rather than branching on `process.platform`, and whose comment gives the
reason: a bare `return` "would silently report a PASS ... and hide the gap this
guard exists to close". A skipped test is visibly skipped.

Swept every test added on this branch for names Windows would reject or POSIX
path assumptions; these four were the only ones.

* feat(#3458): make [A] Acknowledge actually suppress, without overwriting a verdict

Making archived phases visible exposed the other half of the problem: an item
unresolved at a milestone close now resurfaces at every later close forever,
because `[A] Acknowledge` wrote a prose block to STATE.md that
`auditOpenArtifacts` never reads. `verified_closeout` became unreachable and the
gate degraded to a mandatory `[A]` every time.

## The prompt does not change

`[A] Acknowledge all` already promises "document as deferred and proceed with
close". It documented but never deferred. This makes `[A]` do what it says.
`[R]` and `[C]` stay abort paths. No "carry forward" option is invented — an
item that is not acknowledged simply keeps surfacing, which is the default.

## The marker lives inside the artifact

Not a ledger. The audit mints no ids and has no stable identity — `phase` is a
token that collides across directories, `file` for deferred items is a constant,
and identity otherwise degrades to the item's own prose after a lossy sanitizer.
Any ledger must re-derive that key every close, so a reworded item silently
un-suppresses or, worse, mis-suppresses a different one. Storing the
acknowledgment next to the thing it suppresses makes that class of bug
structurally impossible, and it is the pattern `src/uat.cts` already argues for
with `deferred-items.md`'s in-place `status: resolved`.

## The marker is verdict-preserving and self-invalidating

`status:` is never overwritten — writing `resolved` into an unresolved UAT would
be a lie in the artifact of record, and the disclosure has to be additive.

    audit_acknowledged:
      milestone: v1.0
      at: 2026-08-15
      status: gaps_found      # snapshot of what was true when acknowledged

Suppression applies ONLY while the snapshot still matches reality: `status` for
seven categories, `question_count` for context questions, and for deferred items
a new per-entry `status: acknowledged` distinct from `resolved`, which keeps
meaning "actually fixed". Change the artifact and the acknowledgment stops
applying, so the item comes back on its own.

That is what makes re-opening answer itself with no extra state, and it fails in
the safe direction: a stale acknowledgment can never hide a NEW problem. A
malformed marker is treated as absent — a bad marker must never silence an item.

The check is ONE shared `isAuditItemAcknowledged`, not nine copies. This file has
already been through that defect family twice in this PR.

## Observable, not silent

`audit-open --json` now reports an `acknowledged` count beside `counts`, so a
reviewer can tell a close that is clean because things were fixed from one that
is clean because things were silenced.

## Writer

New `audit-open acknowledge` verb snapshots current state itself, so the marker
is never hand-authored from workflow prose — the gap that left the STATE.md
block with no writer, no schema and two conflicting formats. Writes route
through the existing path-confinement seam.

## Two deliberate limits, failing closed

Heading-delimited deferred entries (#3457) are REFUSED with
`unsupported_heading_shape` rather than edited, because mapping a heading entry
back to its exact source span is not safely derivable when headless and heading
entries interleave in one file. A loud refusal beats a mis-targeted write.

A quick task with no summary gets one created to carry the marker, since there
is otherwise nowhere to put it.

## Tests

Self-invalidation is the important one and is covered per category: acknowledge,
then change the status or question count, and the item resurfaces. Also
malformed markers not suppressing, `status:` byte-unchanged after acknowledging,
the writer refusing a path outside the project, and the four original #3458
scenarios unchanged.

Closes #3458

* feat(#3458): wire [A] to the acknowledge verb and converge the disclosure table

Consumer side of the suppression seam.

## The workflow stops hand-authoring the mechanism

`[A]` now calls `audit-open acknowledge` once per open item, then writes the
STATE.md `## Deferred Items` table as before. The table stays as a
human-readable disclosure; it is no longer the mechanism. That closes the gap
where the block had no writer, no schema and no reader — the marker is now
written by the tool, which snapshots current state itself.

The `[R]` / `[A]` / `[C]` prompt is unchanged, `[C]` still means "Cancel — exit
without closing", and no carry-forward option is invented.

The all-clear branch now distinguishes a close that is clean because items were
FIXED from one that is clean because they were ACKNOWLEDGED, using the
`acknowledged.total` count, and carries that into the MILESTONES.md disclosure
line beside the existing override count. A clean close that was bought with
acknowledgments should say so.

## Format drift resolved

Two incompatible `## Deferred Items` shapes shipped simultaneously — 3 columns
in the workflow, 4 in the template, with different body lines. Converged on one
5-column shape carrying the source Milestone, since archived items now appear
and the archived-milestone disambiguator was previously discarded at write time.
The workflow enumerates the categories instead of trailing off in `...`.

## Ack fragment bookkeeping

`complete-milestone.md` grows 6,764 bytes (31,228 → 37,992; cap 61,440), covered
by a new `tests/emitted-drift-acks/3458-*.json`.

`2962-zsh-nomatch-for-glob-portability.json`'s `complete-milestone.md` entry is
REMOVED — the no-duplicate-path rule hard-blocks two sources naming one path.
That entry is spent: the nullglob shim it acknowledges is present in both
`origin/next` and the CI emitted baseline `fd2b97a5`, so its ripple is already
absorbed and it can never clear anything again — verified directly, not assumed,
and the gate's own message directs deleting spent entries. Its other three files'
entries are untouched.

`scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs` wanted to rewrite `explore.md` as well —
pre-existing drift unrelated to this change, reverted. `complete-milestone.md`
still carries exactly one canonical preamble.

Docs cover the verb's real flag surface, the marker's verdict-preserving and
self-invalidating behavior, and the new `acknowledged` count. A second `Added`
changeset covers the verb, since the existing `Fixed` fragment describes only
the archived-phase scanning.

Closes #3458

* fix(#3458): close three blockers in the acknowledgment seam

Adversarial review of the seam. Three BLOCKERs, one of which disproves a safety
claim I published in the PR body, the changeset and the docs.

## The claim was false; the code is fixed rather than the claim softened

I wrote that "a stale acknowledgment can never hide a NEW problem". It could.
`context_questions` snapshotted only the question COUNT, so replacing two
acknowledged questions with two brand-new blockers kept the item suppressed.
`uat_gaps` snapshotted only `status`, so adding five more pending scenarios
(`open_scenario_count` 1→6) kept it suppressed.

The snapshot now identifies CONTENT, not size: a digest of the whole question
set, and a status + open-scenario-count composite. Any edit invalidates. The
other seven categories were checked and their single tracked dimension is
already the whole story. Both disproofs now resurface the item.

## Writing to the wrong line, and reporting success

`acknowledgeDeferredItem` built an unanchored regex and exec'd it over the whole
file while match-selection and the ambiguity guard ran over the section body
only, so the write landed at the first match ANYWHERE. A file with `# Notes`
holding `- Fix the parser` above a `## Deferred Items` section holding the same
bullet: the CLI exited 0 saying `acknowledged: true`, injected `status:
acknowledged` under `# Notes`, and re-audit still reported the entry open. It
corrupted unrelated content, suppressed nothing, and claimed success — and since
`--file` is unconstrained the same path could inject into a UAT or VERIFICATION
body.

Matching is now anchored to the selected section, and the matched span is
re-verified against the selected entry before any write; a mismatch refuses with
`match_verification_failed` rather than writing.

## Acknowledging todos hid the ones never shown

`scanTodos` capped at five files and then checked acknowledgment. With seven
todos, acknowledging the five that were LISTED drove `todos: 0`,
`has_open_items: false`, and items six and seven never appeared in any later
scan. The workflow's own "repeat until no todos items" remedy terminates after
one pass. Pre-feature this was unreachable because the count was pinned at five.

That is silent over-suppression — the exact direction this PR exists to remove.
Acknowledged items are now filtered BEFORE the display cap, so unacknowledged
todos beyond it still drive the count.

## The [A] branch could not fail closed

Every acknowledge call sat in a `cmd | while read` pipeline with no status
accumulation, so any refusal was discarded and the close proceeded as
`override_closeout`. Separately, `io.output` swaps payloads over 50000 chars for
an `@file:<path>` sentinel — every `jq` would then fail, every loop body run
zero times, nothing be suppressed, and the close happen anyway.

Both closed: failures accumulate across all invocations and halt before close,
and the sentinel is dereferenced using the same pattern `verify_readiness`
already uses for `INIT_MANAGER`. Quoting was verified sound by the review and is
left alone.

## Also

Suppression is now visible in the human report, not only `--json` — the
"clean because fixed vs clean because silenced" distinction was promised for the
surface an operator actually reads.

The CRLF-preservation branches in the writer were dead: every `.md` write goes
through `_normalizeMd`, which normalizes line endings and blank lines whatever
the writer does. Deleted and documented rather than left as code that cannot run.

## Why these shipped

The review named it exactly: there was no coverage for
`unsupported_heading_shape`, `ambiguous`, `not_found`, duplicate-text
mis-targeting, todos beyond the cap, or CRLF. All are now tested, alongside both
snapshot disproofs and the mixed-section fixture.

Closes #3458

* test(#3458): align the items-open footer wording with its assertion

Remote runner red on one test: the items-open footer must match
`/previously acknowledged item/i`.

The disclosure was NOT missing — the items-open branch already printed
"N additional items previously acknowledged and still suppressed." The word
order simply did not match the regex the test in the same change asserts. A
wording mismatch between my own test and my own implementation, not a behavior
gap.

Reworded to "N previously acknowledged items also suppressed above the M open
items", which satisfies the assertion and states the relationship between the
two counts more plainly than the original did.

Swept `formatAuditReport` for other branches that could skip the tally: the only
early return is the all-clear path, which already discloses it. `scan_error`
sentinels are filtered per category and excluded from `counts.total`, so an
all-error project falls through to that same branch. No inconsistency remains.

* fix(#3458): splice by carried span, digest the untruncated question set

Security review of the writer. Both findings are the same shape, and both are
cases where an earlier fix of mine was incomplete in the same direction: a value
derived for DISPLAY was reused for an IDENTITY or LOCATION decision.

## Writing to the wrong entry, again

The previous fix anchored matching to the `## Deferred Items` SECTION but still
re-found the entry inside it with an unanchored regex, so the write landed at
the first SUBSTRING occurrence rather than the entry's own span. The
`match_verification_failed` guard could not catch it, because the mis-targeted
span is byte-identical to the target.

Probe-confirmed, in a cloned repo's own artifact:

    - CRITICAL unfixed auth bypass
      see also: - minor typo
    - minor typo

Acknowledging "minor typo" appended `status: acknowledged` into the CRITICAL
entry, suppressing it at every future close, while the typo stayed open — exit
0, `"acknowledged": true`. A variant where the target text appears inside
unrelated prose split that line mid-sentence, acknowledged nothing, and still
exited 0, so the workflow's `ACK_FAILURES` halt never fired.

Fixed structurally rather than with a better regex: `splitGapsEntriesWithSpans`
carries each entry's own character span out of the splitter, and the write
splices by that recorded span. The location is already known at selection time —
re-deriving it by searching was the entire defect class. Added as a sibling so
`splitGapsEntries`' three existing callers are untouched. With index-splicing,
`match_verification_failed` becomes a genuine independent cross-check instead of
a guard that could never fire.

## The digest was blind past the third question

`deriveOpenQuestions` truncated to three questions, and clamped each to 200
chars, BEFORE the digest hashed it — so the snapshot could not see the fourth
and later. Ship three innocuous questions, acknowledge, then add real blockers,
and they are permanently invisible: measured `open=0, acknowledged=1`, report
"All artifact types clear."

That is the same self-invalidation property this digest was added to guarantee
one revision ago. The digest now covers the untruncated list; truncation is
display-only.

Found while fixing it: the previous digest joined on a literal raw NUL byte
embedded in the source — collisions are constructible, and reachable through
attacker-controlled YAML `\x00` escapes. Verified both ways. Replaced with a
length-prefixed encoding so no two question sets can collide by concatenation.

## Sweep

Because this is the third incomplete fix on this seam, every identity and
location derivation was swept for the display-vs-identity confusion: uat_gaps
uses status plus a full-content count, the other seven categories use a scalar
status or presence, the deferred `--text` identity is never truncated, and all
five flat categories resolve their file by path rather than by content search.
No further instances.

Closes #3458

* test(#3458): correct two assertions that over-reached the measured behavior

Remote runner red on two of the F1 tests. The source is correct — reproduced
both fixtures against the built CLI — and both failures were bugs in the
assertions I wrote. `src/` is untouched by this commit.

The first is worth recording. It computed the CRITICAL entry's block as

    content.slice(content.indexOf('- CRITICAL'), content.indexOf('- minor typo'))

and `indexOf` found the FIRST SUBSTRING occurrence, which lives inside that
entry's own continuation line `  see also: - minor typo`. The block was
truncated mid-line, so the assertion could never match. The test committed the
exact first-substring-match mistake it exists to catch, one revision after that
mistake was fixed in the source.

The second asserted `deferred_items === 0` after acknowledging the typo entry,
but the decoy `- Note: reference - minor typo elsewhere, ignore` is itself an
open entry and was never acknowledged, so the correct count is 1. It now also
asserts WHICH item remains open — that is what actually proves the right entry
was suppressed, and the original assertion would have passed even if both had
been silenced.

Both now derive their expectations from measured CLI output. A comment records
that the write seam normalizes markdown (`_normalizeMd` inserts a blank line
before a list item following a non-list line) so the inserted line is not later
mistaken for a regression; that is repo-wide behavior for every `.md` write
through the single write projection, not something this change should diverge
from.

Root cause of both: the previous two dispatches verified behavior with direct
CLI probes but never executed the test file, so assertions could over-reach what
had actually been measured. Every other assertion added in those two commits has
since been re-derived from real output; no further mismatches.

fc3fde05ee feat(#2646): surface unresolved deferred-items.md at milestone close (#2983)
* feat(#2646): surface unresolved deferred-items.md at milestone close

auditOpenArtifacts scanned eight categories; deferred-items.md was not
among them. #2287 made that file readable at the PHASE boundary
(audit-uat, /gsd-progress check 7), but one boundary up it stayed
invisible — and phase directories archive to milestones/vX.Y-phases/ by
default (#1871), so an out-of-scope discovery a phase agent correctly
recorded rather than fixed left the live tree at milestone close having
never reached the [R]/[A]/[C] prompt that exists to catch exactly this.

Adds deferred_items as a ninth scanner plus its count, its items entry
and its report section. The workflow needed no change: complete-milestone
branches on "any section with count > 0", so the new category flows
through the existing prompt.

The resolved/unresolved predicate is NOT reimplemented. uat.cjs already
exports parseDeferredItems, which owns the parsing rule (entries under a
`## Deferred Items` level-2 heading, else the whole file fail-safe;
RESOLVED only on an explicit case-insensitive `status: resolved` field).
The scanner requires it lazily, inside the scan, so audit-command-router's
property that a route never loads the module it does not need is
preserved. Two readers of one file sharing one predicate is the point —
duplicating the inequality is how they drift into disagreeing about what
"open" means.

Regression test proves fail-first: 9 of its 10 cases go red against the
pre-change tree. The tenth is the deliberate no-regression boundary (a
clean tree emits no section) and is green both ways.

* docs(#2646): document the pre-close artifact audit and its nine categories

The /gsd-complete-milestone entry did not mention the audit at all, so
the gate that can stop a close was undocumented — and this change adds a
category to it. Tabulates all nine with their source artifact and what
makes each one "open", plus the [R]/[A]/[C] outcomes.

Also disambiguates the one genuinely confusing thing: the per-phase
deferred-items.md scanned here is NOT the `## Deferred Items` section the
[A] path writes into STATE.md. Same name, different artifact, opposite
ends of the flow.

85ed50cc4f test(#1972): consolidate 94 command/module regression tests into subject suites
Fold 94 issue-named command/module regression files into the canonical test file
that owns each subject-under-test, across 52 existing suites (state, config, frontmatter,
roadmap-parser, capability-registry, shell-command-projection-dispatch, plan-phase-drift-guard,
health-validation, runtime-converters, commands, etc.). Verbatim block-scoped describe
wrappers; 881 subtests conserved 1:1. No new test files.

Host-env pre-check (per B2): the only GSD_WORKSTREAM/GSD_PROJECT-touching destinations
(intel, planning-workspace) clear those vars hermetically, so folded CLI tests are safe.

Regenerates regression-name allowlist (222->162), ratchets file-count allowlist across
8 buckets (validate entry removed after dropping <=2), makes 34 relocated allow-test-rule

conserved 1:1). No monolithic gsd-tools.test.cjs created — routes into 18 existing
per-subject suites.

Removes 48 tests/ files. Regenerates regression-name allowlist (271->231), ratchets
the file-count allowlist across 6 buckets (audit/milestone/phase/roadmap/state/verify),
and makes 10 relocated allow-test-rule exemptions issue-ref-compliant (ADR-456; prunes
10 stale ids). Repoints one CONTEXT.md symptom ref and ADR-3524's parity-test ref.
lint:ci green.

Part of epic #1969. Closes #1971.

9a03539c2d feat(#981): audit-uat + audit-open command cutover — commands-only capability (ADR-857 phase 4d-impl-3) (#984)
Migrate the audit-uat + audit-open CLI commands from hardcoded gsd-tools.cjs
case arms to a registry-dispatched Capability (commandFamilies mechanism, #961),
mirroring the graphify cutover (#972). New src/audit-command-router.cts exports
routeAuditUat/routeAuditOpen, each lazily requiring only its backing module
(uat.cjs/audit.cjs) inside the route fn — matching the old per-case lazy loads.
capabilities/audit/capability.json declares the two command families;
commands-only (skills:[]), no config gate, audit_review cluster untouched.

Behavior-CHANGING (dispatch path) but equivalence-proven: CLI output identical;
existing audit regression tests pass unchanged.

Closes #981
