2dbee3ebdd enhance(#2229): add three-way claim disposition (admit/refute/abstain) to /gsd-explore research pass (#2543)
Closes #2229.

Each claim surfaced by /gsd-explore's research pass is dispositioned admit, refute, or abstain, with abstentions routed to a visible ledger instead of being smoothed into confident prose. Refute and abstain are separated by whether the disagreeing source is authoritative for that claim; a strong prior is never authoritative alone.

Two guards ride with it: conflict-abstention, and a tier floor that presents a would-be admit as an abstain when the researcher's resolved tier is the budget tier or cannot be determined.

To make that floor enforceable, resolve-model now emits the effective tier (--pick tier). It was already computed above the resolve_model_ids omit gate but was unreachable from a workflow, which left the floor inert on every non-Claude install - the model id is blank under omit and runtime-substituted where a tier map exists, and the profile defaults to balanced. The tier signal mirrors every resolution step that can change which tier runs, including the model_policy preset, and reports unknown rather than guessing. Output is additive; model, profile and effort are unchanged.

Two residuals are disclosed in the workflow rather than papered over: a raw-model-id model_overrides pin reports unknown and is floored (fails closed), and a model_profile_overrides entry repointing a tier at another tier's model can under-report (fails open, and predates this change).

Admin merge used only to satisfy the missing secondary reviewer on a single-maintainer PR. No CI failure and no conflict were bypassed: 38 checks green, remote runner 32255/32255 on both Node lanes.

cf6de5e1c0 feat(#2871): resolve triggers and host precedence, not just placement (#3291)
* test(#2871): failing-first suite for trigger-surface resolution

23 tests over the 50-test-matrix rows. RED by construction:
resolveTriggerSurface and DEFAULT_TRIGGER_PRECEDENCE do not exist yet,
and the validator silently ignores triggerPrecedence today.

Written in the per-runtime describe idiom the other four
runtime-artifact-layout suites use, not a table.

The rows that carry the weight: windsurf must NOT report a shadow it
does not have, since its global scope emits only agents and agents are
not trigger-bearing; agents and kimi-agents must be absent from the
output for every runtime; and reordering a runtime's triggerPrecedence
must flip the winner, which is the only assertion that proves the axis
is read rather than decorative.

Stems are injected, never scanned, so the surface is assertable with no
filesystem.

* feat(#2871): resolve triggers and host precedence, not just placement

resolveTriggerSurface(runtime, scopes) returns every /gsd-<name> trigger
a runtime emits, with the scope and kind that produced it, whether the
host registers it directly or only through a router, and which artifact
shadows it. resolveRuntimeArtifactLayout is untouched -- its 7 callers
need placement only and the issue requires them unchanged.

AGENTS ARE NOT TRIGGER-BEARING, and ADR-2866 said they were. The
host-integration matrix models command and dispatch as separate interface
points: an agent is invoked through the Agent tool's subagent_type, not
by typing a slash trigger, and _copyStaged never applies the kind prefix
to an agents entry. So agents and kimi-agents are excluded from the
surface entirely, and this commit amends ADR-2866 with a dated
correction. #2218's conclusion is unchanged -- the collision is strictly
commands-vs-skills, and claude's local /gsd-* trigger surface is still
fully shadowed -- but the ADR implied the local agents surface was lost
too, and it is not.

That correction is what makes windsurf come out right. Its global scope
emits only agents, so it has no global trigger and its local commands
are unshadowed. Model agents as trigger-bearing and windsurf falsely
reports a full shadow.

The triggerPrecedence axis lands on all 19 descriptors as an ordered
kind list, one value with one owner, rather than a numeric rank spread
across N kind entries with nothing keeping them consistent. Validation
uses a required-with-default shape that has no precedent in this
validator -- every existing axis is hard-required -- so a third-party
capability.json omitting the field still validates, which is what
ADR-894's additive-only contract promises.

Winner resolution reads Phase 1's scope rank first, then the kind
ordering. A test reorders the axis and asserts the winner flips, since
an axis that is added, validated and never consulted would pass every
other assertion.

shadowedBy ships unread. Phase 4 (#2873) is its first consumer, per this
issue's out-of-scope note.

Verified via the remote runner.

* fix(#2871): single-source namespacedByDir and close two test gaps

Four findings from the isolated adversarial review.

The namespacedByDir rule had reached three copies -- install-engine,
surface, and the new trigger resolver -- one of which carried a
hand-written keep-in-sync comment and no assertion. That is this repo's
generative-fix-divergence class. Extracted to one exported predicate all
three now call. Verified by diverging one copy deliberately: the existing
#816 parity test failed, and passes again on revert.

The omission test was vacuous. Row 16 asserted that a descriptor without
triggerPrecedence still validates, but built its fixture from claude's
shipped descriptor -- which this PR had just added the axis to. It now
clones and deletes the key, following the shippedDescriptorWithout
pattern, and asserts both that validation passes and that the resolver
still picks the right winner from the default. The second half is what
makes it prove anything.

resolveTriggerSurface silently dropped an unrecognized scope while every
sibling in this epic throws. Two phases of one epic should not disagree
about whether an invalid scope is an error, so it now rejects through the
same shared validator; an empty scope list still returns empty rather
than throwing.

The ADR amendment had been spliced into the middle of the References
list, orphaning its last bullet. Moved to the top, after the header
block, which is where ADR-3660 and ADR-1016 both put dated amendments.
No lint checks markdown structure, so this was green while malformed.

* fix(#2871): single-source the command filename composition too

The earlier fix shared the namespacedByDir boolean but left the
filename composition around it written twice -- once in _copyStaged as
what actually gets written, once in resolveTriggerSurface as what gets
predicted. The predictor could go stale silently.

One exported helper now composes it for both. The entry.name asymmetry
that looked like it would block extraction does not: entry.name is
filtered to end in .md and stem is entry.name minus those three
characters, so the two branches are the same string by construction.

Divergence proven to fail: injecting a marker into the helper broke the
trigger-surface suite; reverting restored 25/25. The four sibling layout
suites hold at 227 unchanged.

* docs(#2871): correct the ADR timing notes that this phase makes stale

The Amended by back-links on ADR-3660 and ADR-1016 were written in
Phase 0, when the widenings they describe had not shipped. Each carried
a forward-looking clause -- "the module changes at Phase 2, not before,
until then this module resolves placement only" -- which becomes false
the moment this PR merges. ADR-2866's own Amends header and its
reciprocal-notes section carried the same tense.

All four now describe what shipped. This is a tense and status
correction on Accepted ADRs, not a change to any decision.

Worth stating because it is the failure mode this epic keeps meeting:
gen-adr-index.cjs tracks only Supersedes and Subsumes, so nothing in CI
would have caught either the missing back-link in Phase 0 or these stale
clauses now. They stay correct only because someone checks.

b901d1e06f feat(#1953): complexity-triggered refactor extension point (execute:post) (#3261)
* test(#1953): failing-first suite for the complexity-triggered refactor hook

60 behavioral cases against src/complexity-trigger.cts, which does not exist yet:
decision-point counting, the comment/literal stripping leak surface, threshold and
jump-delta boundaries at limit-1/limit/limit+1, stable-anchor baseline semantics,
and fs fault injection via mock.method. Two fast-check properties assert that
stripping never manufactures a decision point and that comments and string
literals are score-neutral.

Also registers the refactor-trigger capability manifest (inert until
refactor.trigger_enabled) and regenerates the capability registry and matrix.

Verified RED on the remote runner before any implementation exists.

* feat(#1953): complexity-triggered refactor extension point

Adds the opt-in refactor-trigger capability. After a phase executes, an
execute:post step measures per-function complexity for the files the phase
touched and writes a scoped refactor proposal when a function crosses the
configured threshold or drifts past its recorded anchor.

Design notes worth carrying:

- The signal is computed in-core (decision-point counting over comment- and
  literal-stripped source, Node builtins only) rather than via Memtrace or a
  shelled-out analyzer. The hook fires as a deterministic CLI, not an agent
  with MCP tools, and core takes no external dependencies — this is the only
  option a behavioral test can bind to. The metric sits behind a seam.
- The baseline is a stable anchor, not a rolling value: set on first
  observation, moved only on disposition. A rolling baseline makes the delta
  the single-phase change, so a function creeping +2 per phase never trips a
  delta of 5 and the jump check adds nothing over the absolute threshold.
- Strict mode records an open deviation window in the broken-windows ledger
  rather than declaring its own ship:pre gate. ship.md has no generic ship:pre
  gate dispatch — only two hardcoded branches — so a third gate of any kind
  would be declared and never evaluated.
- The gate clears on the proposal being dispositioned, never on the score
  improving. A blocking complexity number is one an executor can satisfy by
  splitting a coherent function in two.

execute-phase.md gains a generic execute:post step-dispatch contract; it
previously matched only ref.skill == "code-review", so any other step
registered there was declared and never run. The code-review branch is
unchanged.

Full rationale in ADR-1953.

Closes #1953

* fix(#1953): close git option injection and symlink escape in the refactor hook

Three findings from the isolated security review, all fixed inline.

HIGH — changedFilesSince interpolated the --since value into a revision
token placed before the -- separator. A -- only stops PATHSPEC parsing of
arguments after it; git still option-parses what comes before. So
--since '--output=/tmp/x' became --output=/tmp/x..HEAD, which git accepts
as --output=<file> and uses to redirect diff output — an arbitrary write.
Fixed with --end-of-options before the revision range plus a conservative
ref validator. The validator deliberately permits ~ ^ @ { } because those
are legitimate git REVISION syntax (HEAD~1, main@{yesterday}) as distinct
from ref-NAME syntax; --end-of-options is the actual barrier. The doc
comment asserting the trailing -- was sufficient was wrong and is corrected.

MEDIUM — resolveConfinedPath confined by string prefix only, so a symlink
committed inside the repo passed the check (its own path is under cwd) and
readFileSync then followed it outside the root. Now lstat-checks for a
regular file and skips anything else with REFACTOR_FILE_UNREADABLE, so one
bad path skips one file and the run continues.

LOW — the new execute:post dispatch contract showed the gsd_run example
before the rule requiring ref.command be validated first. That prose is
executed by an agent, so textual order is execution order. Reordered.

Refs #1953

* fix(#1953): make the analyzer able to see TypeScript at all

Found by running the shipped analyzer over its own source: it reported
functions=1 for a 940-line module with 24 function forms. A return-type
annotation or a generic parameter list made a function invisible —
`function f(a): number {}` and `function f<T>(a: T): T {}` both detected as
zero. Since gsd-core is written in .cts and the capability declares
.ts/.cts/.mts analyzable, the feature silently found nothing in this repo's
own primary language while reporting success. A safety net that reports
"all clear" because it cannot see is worse than no safety net.

All 98 tests passed over this, because every fixture was plain JS — the
exact failure the test matrix's own "assert against the shape production
uses" warning describes. Adds a TypeScript-shapes suite covering return
types (including unions, generics, object literals and type predicates),
generic parameter lists (constrained and defaulted), export/async/generator
combinations, annotated arrows, class-method modifiers, and optional/
default/rest params — plus the two traps: an overload signature has no body
and must not count, and `a < b && c > d` is a comparison, not a generic.
Detection now reports 24/37/21 functions for the three source files, which
matches a hand count exactly.

Also from review:

- The strict-mode ledger dedup identified entries by parsing a prose
  description string. That is banned by CONTRIBUTING's raw-text-matching
  rule and was a real bug: the "exactly one window per untriaged proposal"
  guarantee rested on prose matching, so rewording a description or editing
  WINDOWS.md by hand silently produced duplicates. Now matches structurally
  on kind + phase + file + line.
- A property test asserted on the stripper's output text. Reframed to
  assert the same invariant through analyzeSource's score.
- nextBaseline's `candidates` parameter has been dead since the anchor
  change; removed from the signature and all call sites.
- Extracted the duplicated require-or-degrade and capability-check
  boilerplate.
- ADR-1953's Implementation bullet still named a `refactor.ship-gate` in
  check-command-router.cts — a leftover from the design cut D6 rejects.
  That file is untouched and no such gate exists. Removed.

Refs #1953

* fix(#1953): keep execute-phase.md under its byte ceiling; un-vacuum the large-file test

Five of the seven remote-runner failures were one cause: the execute:post
dispatch contract, written out inline, grew execute-phase.md 1876 bytes
(93,400 -> 95,276) against a frozen PRE_PHASE6 ceiling of 93,600. A drift-ack
does not clear that — tests/phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs and
tests/fix-2285-claude-orchestration-wiring.test.cjs assert the file is
literally under the cap.

The contract now lives in gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md, which
already claimed to be the point-agnostic dispatch reference and already
documented ref.skill and ref.agent. It gains the ref.command shape, its
in-context validation rule, the advisory-by-construction statement, and a
note that a point whose workflow hand-rolls one kind is not implementing
this contract. execute-phase.md now defers to it in one line: 145 bytes of
growth, 55 B of headroom under the cap. Better placement than the first cut
— the reference was overstating its coverage, and this makes the claim true
rather than duplicating prose next to it.

Acknowledged by appending to tests/emitted-drift-acks/2930-*.json rather
than a new 1953-*.json: two ack sources may never name the same path, and
that fragment is already the accumulating ack for this file.

Sixth and seventh failures: analyzesLargeFileWithinBounds tripped its own
vacuity guard — the fixture generated ~480 KB against a `> 500000` assert,
so the guard fired and the three assertions after it never ran. The test
has been vacuous since it was written. The matrix row specifies ~1 MB, so
N goes 8000 -> 20000 (1.17 MB, 17% margin) and the guard to > 1_000_000.
Verified by reproducing the exact body against the compiled module: 1168888
bytes, 118 ms, all four assertions hold.

Refs #1953

* fix(#1953): fold the execute:post step deferral into the existing resolve line

The remaining two failures were one test: execute-phase.md carries a SECOND,
tighter assertion than the 93,600 ceiling — `<=93400`, which is exactly its
current size. The file cannot grow by a single byte. My previous fix got it
under 93,600 but not under 93,400, so it still failed. ("H." in the report is
just the parent describe of that same test, not a separate defect.)

Rather than add a paragraph, the deferral now REPLACES the existing hook
resolution line. It read:

  Resolve active step hooks from `EXECUTE_POST_HOOKS_JSON` where
  `kind == "step"` and `ref.skill == "code-review"`.

which is the bug itself written down — only code-review was ever dispatched.
It now reads:

  Dispatch each `kind == "step"` hook per
  @gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md. For `code-review`:

The following prose already begins "If no active code-review step hook
exists", so it reads correctly and the code-review handling is untouched.
Net effect on the file is -11 bytes: 93,400 -> 93,389, under the margin
assertion rather than merely under the ceiling.

That also removes the need for a drift-ack: the file shrank, so there is no
growth to acknowledge, and the append to the shared 2930-*.json fragment is
reverted. Leaving it would have shipped a claim of "145 bytes of growth"
that is no longer true, on a file six other issues share.

The test's own comment states the principle this ended up honoring: "the host
loop must stay small — optional-feature detail belongs in the capability
fragment, not the host workflow." Putting the dispatch contract in the
reference rather than inline is that rule, applied.

Refs #1953

* fix(#1953): keep the code-review hook literal the workflow test requires

tests/code-review.test.cjs extracts the <step name="code_review_gate"> block
and asserts it contains `ref.skill == "code-review"` verbatim. The previous
commit replaced the line carrying that literal, so the token vanished and the
test went red — a fair assertion: code-review IS the bespoke branch there and
the workflow should still name it.

Restored inside the same one-line deferral, which now reads:

  Dispatch `kind == "step"` hooks per @gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md.
  `ref.skill == "code-review"`:

93,396 bytes — still under the `<=93400` margin assertion and 4 bytes below
the base, so the file continues to shrink rather than grow.

Because three consecutive runs were each reddened by a different assertion on
this one file, this change was verified by sweeping ALL of them at once rather
than one run at a time: every test under tests/ that reads execute-phase.md or
references/loop-hook-dispatch.md was located by resolving its path constants,
and each content/size assertion was evaluated directly against the working
tree — 22 assertions, plus two real executions (gen-section-manifest --check,
and emitted-attribution's full real-tree differential). All pass.

That sweep also confirms the earlier judgement call: the net change to
execute-phase.md is a SHRINK, and the size ratchet only gates growth, so
reverting the append to the shared 2930-*.json ack fragment was correct — an
ack would have been both unnecessary and factually wrong.

Refs #1953

* chore(#1953): backfill changeset pr number to 3261

* docs(#1953): add the missing how-to for acting on a refactor proposal

Reference and explanation shipped (COMMANDS.md, CONFIGURATION.md,
FEATURES.md 159, ADR-1953) but the Diataxis how-to quadrant did not, and
that is the one a user reaches for. CONTRIBUTING's required-docs table is
'new command -> COMMANDS.md + FEATURES.md', so CI was green on a gap.

Enabling this feature is genuinely multi-step and no single page walked it:
turn it on, tune the threshold, understand advisory vs strict, discover
that strict needs a SECOND toggle on a DIFFERENT capability, and know what
to do when a proposal appears. The two-toggle subtlety in particular was a
footnote in a config table; here it is a section with both commands.

Follows the shape of its closest siblings, resolve-edge-coverage-findings
and resolve-prohibition-findings — both 'the loop surfaced a finding, here
is what to do with it'. Includes a reason-code table for the silent cases,
since the analyzer is deliberately quiet in six situations and a user who
expected a proposal needs to tell 'nothing to report' from 'could not look'.

Indexed from docs/README.md beside the other loop how-tos.

Docs-only: exempt from the push gate, no re-verification, pass marker on
2af188b4 untouched.

Refs #1953

* feat(#1953): warn when strict mode is on but nothing will actually block

Closes acceptance criterion 5, which I had wrongly marked satisfied.

refactor.trigger_strict records an untriaged proposal as an open deviation
window, but a ship only STOPS if workflow.windows_enforce is also on — a
toggle owned by the broken-windows capability that this feature neither sets
nor requires. So a user could enable strict, believe ship was gated, and find
out otherwise at ship time.

The split itself stays: requires:["broken-windows"] would force-install the
ledger on advisory users who never enable strict, and a ship:pre gate of our
own would never fire because ship.md has no generic ship:pre gate dispatch.
What was missing was discoverability, so that is what this fixes.

`refactor evaluate` now emits a typed REFACTOR_STRICT_NOT_ENFORCING warning,
naming the exact remediation command, whenever strict is on and either
workflow.windows_enforce is off or broken-windows is unavailable. It fires
only on a run that produced a candidate — with nothing to block on there is
nothing to warn about, and warning every run would be noise.

Reads workflow.windows_enforce through the same resolveConfigKey walk the
router already uses for its own keys rather than a second config reader.
Four tests cover the matrix: strict+enforce-off warns, strict+enforce-on does
not, strict+ledger-absent warns, strict-off never warns.

Also corrects a user-facing message in this same file that told the user to
run `gsd-tools config-set` — the wrong form. docs/CONFIGURATION.md and the
broken-windows capability both use `gsd config-set`, and gsd-tools is invoked
as `node gsd-tools.cjs`, so the bare form may not resolve. The two adjacent
messages in this file now agree.

653f95e39f chore(#2801): remove the hostBehaviors.reviewerCli deprecated alias (#3272)
* test(#2801): failing-first suite for the hostBehaviors.reviewerCli alias removal

Inverts the Phase 5a rows that assert the derived legacy alias still
contributes a reviewer slug, and adds the removal-warning coverage the
alias's exit needs (ADR-2782 D9).

RED against unmodified production code, by design: the six shipped
manifests still declare the key and collectReviewerWarnings emits nothing
for hostBehaviors.

Refs #2801

* chore(#2801): remove the hostBehaviors.reviewerCli deprecated alias

ADR-2782 D9, Phase 7 — the final phase of epic #2782.

The derived legacy alias survived one release (Phase 5a shipped in 1.9.0;
1.9.1 and 1.10.0 have since gone out), so it goes. A declared reviewer
body is now the only route onto the reviewer roster.

- deriveReviewerSlugs no longer reads runtime.hostBehaviors.reviewerCli
- the key is stripped from the six manifests that carried it; each already
  declares a reviewer body whose slug equals its capability id, so the
  derived roster is unchanged at the same twelve slugs
- collectReviewerWarnings emits a presence-based, non-fatal removal notice
  for any manifest still declaring the key, reaching both the build-time
  registry generation and the third-party overlay load path. The check runs
  before the reviewer-body early-return, because the manifest it exists for
  is the alias-only one that has no body.
- hostBehaviors stays an open, unvalidated bag for its other 59 keys; this
  adds one keyed removal notice, not general validation

Refs #2801

* refactor(#2801): give the reviewer-warning channel a typed IR

Review finding: the new tests asserted with String#includes() on the
warning prose, which CONTRIBUTING.md's 'Prohibited: Raw Text Matching on
Test Outputs' bans in favor of a typed intermediate representation.

Adds the IR beside the renderer rather than replacing it, which is the
shape that section prescribes and bin/verify-reapply-patches.cjs already
models:

- REVIEWER_WARNING, a frozen code enum
- REMOVED_REVIEWER_CLI_FIELD, so the emitting site and its test share one
  symbol instead of duplicating a literal
- collectReviewerWarningRecords(cap), returning typed records

collectReviewerWarnings(cap) keeps its exact string[] contract as a thin
map over the records, so both production consumers are untouched. Every
section-K row now asserts on record.code/field/capId and none on the
rendered message. Locks the code surface, asserts the renderer stays
one-to-one with the records, and migrates the pre-existing Phase 2 test
on the same channel off prose matching.

Refs #2801

* test(#2801): invert the section F alias fall-through regression row

Caught by the remote runner: 2 unique failures on both Node lanes out of
31,692. tests/reviewer-lane-declarations.test.cjs section F — Phase 5a's
isolated-security-review regressions — asserted that a blank reviewer.slug
falls through to the hostBehaviors.reviewerCli alias rather than dropping
the lane. That is the direct inverse of this phase's contract.

The original rationale held only while the alias existed. With it gone
there is nothing to fall through to: a blank body is not a declaration,
and a declaration is the only route onto the roster.

Inverted rather than deleted — the row carries the adversarial-review
provenance for the slug trim, and removing a security regression guard to
make a change pass is backwards. The duplicate row added earlier in
section C is dropped instead; section F is its canonical home.

Also corrects two count strings Phase 5b left at eleven while asserting
twelve, which would misreport on failure.

Refs #2801

* docs(#2801): give the removed reviewerCli flag a migration path

The Reference edit alone satisfied CI — a file under docs/ moved, so
lint-docs-required.cjs was green — while the task-oriented quadrant said
nothing about the removal. A maintainer whose lane had just gone silent
would have found the field documented as removed and no page telling them
what to do about it.

Adds a migration section to the how-to: the symptom, the verbatim warning
they will see, the before/after manifest, and the note to keep the
reviewer slug equal to the capability id so existing
review.default_reviewers entries and --<slug> flags survive.

Refs #2801

* chore(#2801): backfill changeset pr number to 3272

* feat(#2801): close the runtime.hostBehaviors vocabulary

ADR-1016 closes twelve descriptor axes and rejects an open escape hatch
in the descriptor. It never mentioned runtime.hostBehaviors, and that
silence was read as permission: 59 keys across 18 manifests, 39 of them
set by a single capability, validated by nothing. The reference docs went
further and attributed the open seam to ADR-1016, which does not mention
the field at all.

KNOWN_HOST_BEHAVIORS enumerates the vocabulary. An undeclared key yields a
non-fatal UNKNOWN_HOST_BEHAVIOR record on the same D4.3 channel as the
alias removal notice, reaching both build-time generation and overlay
install.

Warning, never error, for the reason this phase exists: an error would
hard-break an out-of-tree descriptor carrying a bespoke key with no
deprecation window, which is what reviewerCli was given a release to
avoid. Escalation is a separate decision.

reviewerCli is excluded from the unknown-key sweep so it keeps its own
notice with the migration pointer rather than drawing two records.

A parity test binds the vocabulary to the shipped manifests in both
directions, and a second asserts no shipped capability draws a notice, so
the closure is provably inert in-tree.

Records the decision and the miscitation as an ADR-1016 amendment.

Refs #2801

* fix(#2801): bound and sanitize the unknown-key diagnostics

Two findings from an isolated adversarial review of the closure commit,
both proven by execution rather than asserted.

MAJOR, introduced by the closure: the new Object.keys(hostBehaviors) sweep
had no ceiling. An installed third-party manifest is bounded only by
MANIFEST_MAX_BYTES, and an 8.69MB manifest with 800,000 keys produced
800,000 records and ~139MB of message text, retained for the registry's
lifetime in OverlayMeta.diagnostics. Now capped at ten records plus a
summary carrying omittedCount, mirroring capability-loader's existing
slice(0,3) idiom. The same manifest now yields 11 records and 1748 chars.

MINOR, newly reachable: manifest-supplied key names were interpolated raw.
Unlike cap.id, which validateCapability gates on KEBAB_RE before these
diagnostics run, hostBehaviors keys have no grammar check anywhere, so
ANSI escapes and CRLF reached stderr and OverlayMeta.warnings intact. New
describeKey replaces C0/C1 controls and clips at 80 chars. The file
already had describeValue for this and applied it only to values.

Both fixes land on the pre-existing reviewer.* sweep too — it carried the
identical pair, and fixing only the new copy would leave the same defect
one screen from its own fix.

Binds the advisory diff-vs-declared-scope check to behavior before it exists:
the pure coverage predicate, the SUMMARY-artifact exemption and its parity with
the rescue walker, the gauntlet integration (never flips ok, degrades on a git
failure, survives a later block), the manifest normalizer's files_modified
handling, and the --files negative-input matrix on record-agent/create.

Refs #2596

* enhance(#2596): warn when a wave branch commits outside its declared scope

The worktree-wave merge gauntlet validated branch, base, deletions, SUMMARY
rescue and a clean worktree, but never compared a plan branch's actual
committed diff against the files_modified the plan declared — so an executor
that committed outside its brief merged into shared phase state silently.

Adds an advisory scope-conformance check: when the manifest entry carries a
declared scope, the gauntlet diffs HEAD...<branch> and appends one structured
warning per path outside it. It never flips ok and never blocks the merge;
promotion to a hard gate is a separate, disclosed change. With no declared
scope no git subprocess is spent at all.

Refs #2596

* docs(#2596): document the advisory worktree-wave scope-conformance check

Records the optional --files flag on worktree record-agent/create, the
advisory warnings channel cleanup-wave now emits, and its two deliberate
noise limits (SUMMARY-artifact exemption, literal-prefix glob matching).
Wires execute-phase to pass the plan's already-parsed PLAN_FILES.

Refs #2596

* fix(#2596): close review findings on the scope-conformance advisory

- share one path normalizer between the SUMMARY-artifact predicate and the
  scope comparison so the exemption and the check cannot drift
- wire --files into the orchestrator-worktree dispatch, which created a
  worktree but never declared its scope, so the advisory silently did not
  apply on that backend; ADR-1239 requires both adapters share one check
- correct the now-false blockquote claiming the check does not exist yet
- add the fast-check property tests the repo requires for parser logic
- add the record-agent/create parity test that Generative Fix Divergence
  requires for two surfaces implementing one rule

Refs #2596

* fix(#2596): keep execute-phase.md under the frozen pre-phase-6 byte ceiling

The one-sentence note added with the --files flag pushed execute-phase.md to
93708 bytes, past the ADR-857 PRE_PHASE6 cap of 93600 — the tightest of the
three workflow size gates, and a hard cap an acknowledgment cannot clear. It
failed three tests plus the differential attribution check.

Condense the note to a one-line pointer (93543, 57 B of headroom); the full
explanation already lives in docs/CLI-TOOLS.md and the dispatch step. The flag
itself stays in the command, because the orchestrator reads this workflow at
runtime and cannot pick it up from docs/.

Acknowledge the remaining 143 B of growth by appending to the existing
execute-phase.md fragment rather than adding a second one — the ack lint
rejects two sources naming the same path.

Refs #2596

* fix(#2596): make the execute-phase.md edit net-negative, not merely under the cap

The size gate on this file is two assertions, not one: bytes < 93600 AND
bytes <= 93400. The base is exactly 93400, so the file is at its budget and
any growth trips the margin assertion — the previous fix cleared the ceiling
but not that.

Move the --files explanation to per-plan-worktree-gate.md, which already owns
PLAN_FILES and carries no cap, and reclaim the rest from two clauses in the
sentence being edited: the cleanup-wave rules phrasing, and a 'non-zero exit'
the very next sentence already states. execute-phase.md ends at 93392, eight
bytes below base. The flag itself stays in the command — the orchestrator
reads this workflow at runtime and cannot pick it up from docs/.

With no growth left, the acknowledgment is unnecessary and its byte delta was
no longer true, so the shared ack fragment is restored byte-identical to base.

Refs #2596

* docs(#2596): add the how-to for interpreting scope-conformance warnings

The docs for this change were entirely Reference — the flag and the warning
codes — with the task-oriented quadrant empty. Adds the page that answers the
question an operator actually has when the advisory fires: what the two codes
mean, that nothing is blocked so there is no failure to hunt for, how to tell
whether the executor over-reached or the plan under-declared, and the three
ways the check legitimately stays silent so an absence of warnings is not
mistaken for proof of conformance.

342590c70e refactor(#3184): milestone windowing has one owner and a decidable failure signal (#3209)
* test(#3184): failing-first milestone-window single-owner suite

Covers the 50 input classes in the phase test matrix: scope classification
(genuinely-empty vs truncated vs unscoped vs unreadable), the section-end
owner's level boundaries, consumer-output identity per ADR-3180 Decision 4(c),
the milestone.complete refusal with negative proof that no directory moved,
the version-token boundary defect, drift-guard behavior, and three fast-check
properties over document-shaped generators.

Committed alone so the remote runner records the failure before the fix lands.

* refactor(#3184): milestone windowing routes through one owner

Three copies of the milestone section-end walk lived in roadmap-parser.cts —
two distinct computeSectionEnd function nodes plus an inline third in
getMilestonePhaseFilter's versionOverride branch. computeMilestoneSectionEnd is
now the sole owner and the other two are deleted, not kept in sync by comment.

The whole-repo drift guard found what the epic did not: state.cts held three
more re-derivations of the same vocabulary — two byte-identical milestone
bounding checks carrying a defect neither reported copy has (no boundary after
the version token, so v2.0 matched inside v2.0.1), and a milestone-sectioning
predicate. All three route through the owner now.

A composition-level duplicate appeared inside this change's own first pass:
getMilestonePhaseFilter and cmdMilestoneComplete each re-assembled a window out
of the owner's primitives, and had already diverged on whether to skip a closed
milestone heading. sliceMilestoneWindow is the one composition.

Windows now carry the ADR-3180 SCOPE discriminator, so a truncated window is
distinguishable from a genuinely empty milestone — those were output-identical,
which is the whole failure class. roadmap analyze emits it (#3165), and
milestone complete refuses to archive on anything but COMPLETE rather than
pass-all moving every phase directory on disk (#3166). The pass-all degrade is
preserved where its premise holds: making the filter deny-all would trade a
silent over-inclusive answer for a silent under-inclusive one on the read paths
that count with it.

extractCurrentMilestone keeps its signature — 200+ affected symbols across 41
files and 25 process flows — and is a one-line wrapper over the scoped owner.

* fix(#3184): fence-aware phase detection and one heading-selection owner

Review fixes from the two orthogonal passes.

The blocker: hasPhaseEntries matched ATX phase headings fence-aware via
tokenizeHeadings but tested the #2199 bullet form against un-stripped markdown,
so a fenced EXAMPLE of the bullet syntax counted as a real phase. A genuinely
empty milestone then classified TRUNCATED and milestone complete refused a
legitimate archive — a false positive in the destructive direction, worse than
the defect this phase set out to fix. Both that path and getMilestonePhaseFilter
own pre-existing bullet scan now run on stripFencedCode, since leaving one meant
the owner file gave two different answers to the same question.

The selection rule — locate, prefer the non-closed heading, else the first — had
been written three more times inside the file whose thesis is single ownership.
selectMilestoneHeading owns it; all three sites route through it. The copies were
behaviorally identical, so this is de-duplication with no observable change,
verified by probing that all three paths select the same heading.

roadmap analyze emitting a scope no consumer read left #3165's actual symptom
alive, so Route 0 in next.md now treats a non-complete scope as scan-failed
rather than as a clean empty scan, and the ADR amendment no longer overstates
what shipped.

Also: the scope refusal moved above the archive-directory create, so a refusal
leaves nothing on disk; the versionOverride comment names all four consumers;
COMMANDS.md documents the new guard beside its sibling.

* test(#2658): exclude the changelog from the malformed-path scan

The gate walks every emitted .md/.js/.cjs file in an installed tree and asserts
none contains `.claude/.trae/rules` or `.trae/.trae/rules`. CHANGELOG.md ships
into that tree, and its #2658 entry quotes both malformed paths while describing
the fix that removed them — so the release note documenting the fix trips the
fix's own regression test. Red on next before this branch.

The installer is correct: a probe over a real --trae --local install found 621
emitted files, exactly one hit, and it was gsd-core/CHANGELOG.md. The scan scope
was the defect, not the product.

Excluded by exact relative path rather than by loosening the patterns or skipping
all markdown — the emitted agent and command markdown is precisely what #2658 was
about, so the gate stays strong everywhere it matters.

* test(#3184): regenerate install-tree fixtures for the shared drift scanner

scripts/lib/ ships in the npm package and installer, so extracting the shared
tree-walk into scripts/lib/drift-scan.cjs adds one path to every runtime's
install tree. Regenerated via npm run gen:install-tree; the delta is exactly
that one path per fixture.

The two drift guards themselves do not ship (scripts/lint-*.cjs is excluded),
so only the extracted library moves. This matches the existing
scripts/lib/allowlist-ratchet.cjs precedent, which is likewise a lint-only
helper carried in the shipped tree.

* fix(#3184): restore the #730 sub-milestone boundary and narrow the refusal

The remote runner caught two regressions this branch introduced. Both were mine,
and neither review pass found them — only running the existing suite did.

The version-token boundary. I replaced locateMilestoneHeadings' \b with
(?![\w.-]), reasoning that v2.0 matching inside v2.0.1 was the same defect #2562
fixed in isMilestoneShippedInRoadmap. It is not the same question. A milestone
state of v8.0 legitimately selects the '## v8.0-B' sub-milestone section over a
closed v8.0-A sibling (#730), and \b is what allows it while the stricter
boundary forbids it — nine tests in roadmap-phase-fallback said so. Reverted to
\b; the state.cts consolidation is now a straight merge with no behavior change,
and the v2.0/v2.0.1 ambiguity is left exactly as it was. The ADR amendment and
the design doc no longer claim otherwise.

The refusal scope. I refused whenever the window was not COMPLETE, but #3166 is
about the TRUNCATED window specifically — the heading is found and the section
closes before the phase region, so pass-all archives everything. UNREADABLE and
UNSCOPED are pre-existing, legitimately handled states, and refusing on them
broke 'handles missing ROADMAP.md gracefully' and three archive tests. Narrowed
to TRUNCATED; docs corrected to match.

One of the new tests was also wrong: its fixture gave the shipped and current
milestones' phases the same numeric id, and the filter matches on that id, so it
could not have distinguished the two windows. Fixture corrected to exercise what
it claims to.

* fix(#3184): enumerate drift-scan.cjs for uninstall

The installer copies scripts/lib/ wholesale, but uninstall removes an explicit
set — deliberately, so a user's own helpers in that directory survive. The
extracted drift-scan.cjs was copied in and never enumerated, so it outlived
uninstall, left the directory non-empty, and the rmdir that follows failed.

Added to GSD_SCRIPTS_LIB_FILES, following allowlist-ratchet.cjs, which is
likewise a lint-only helper that ships there and is enumerated. Verified with a
real install-then-uninstall into a temp target: scripts/lib/ held exactly the
three GSD files and was gone afterwards.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_015kfkRFNUESoBspUYcAQaT3

* test(#3184): assert install and uninstall agree on scripts/lib and scripts/changeset

Found while shipping this phase, and fixed here rather than noted.

install() copies scripts/lib/ and scripts/changeset/ into the target WHOLESALE —
the comment at the copy site literally says "and any future lib helpers".
uninstall() removes them by hardcoded enumeration, deliberately, so a user's own
helpers in those directories survive. A wholesale writer paired with an
enumerated remover cannot stay in sync by construction: any file added to either
directory ships to every user and is then orphaned in their repo forever, since
it survives uninstall, leaves the directory non-empty, and the rmdir that follows
fails. Nothing reported this. 31,225 tests were green over it.

That is the same divergence class this epic exists to delete, sitting in the
installer, so it gets the same remedy CLAUDE.md prescribes for it: a parity
assertion that fails the moment the two surfaces disagree. The test compares each
directory's real contents against its enumeration and names the offending file
plus the constant to add it to.

Both enumerations are hoisted to module scope and exported, so the test asserts
on the actual arrays rather than pattern-matching the installer's source — no
allow-test-rule annotation needed. Proven non-vacuous both ways: empty diff on
the current tree, correct report when an unenumerated file is injected.

scripts/changeset/ turned out to carry the identical defect and is covered too.

78330e505c fix(#3174): read quick's verification status via the verification.status query
`gsd-core/workflows/quick/steps/quick-verification.md` read the verifier's
result with `grep "^status:" F | cut -d: -f2 | tr -d ' '` and routed it through
a table whose only arms were passed / human_needed / gaps_found. That read
fails two ways. Driven against the old pipeline:

  never written (verifier died)      -> empty        -> no arm
  off-schema value                   -> weird_value  -> no arm
  `status:` in frontmatter AND prose -> two lines    -> no arm
  valid `passed` on a CRLF checkout  -> passed\r     -> no arm
  stale report still reading passed  -> passed       -> SUCCESS
  `status: passed` in the prose only -> passed       -> SUCCESS
  off-schema `passed:bogus`          -> passed       -> SUCCESS

The first four leave the orchestrating agent improvising at the moment the
pipeline failed. The last three are silent false passes: staleness was never
evaluated, the match was not anchored to frontmatter, and `cut -d: -f2` splits
an off-schema value at its own colon. The CRLF row is a pre-existing Windows
bug this change closes as a side effect.

The unanchored match is DEFECT.FRONTMATTER-SCALAR-BROAD-GREP, which the code
side already fixed by name — `readVerificationStatus` parses frontmatter only,
anchored at byte 0, and is total over its input space, returning `missing`,
`unknown` and `stale` sentinels. execute-phase.md, verify-work.md and
progress.md all read this same artifact through that query already; quick was
the remaining second mechanism.

Route quick's read through it and add an explicit terminal arm.

Three details a naive swap misses:

- The step file carries the runtime shim bootstrap itself. Step files are read
  and executed as their own units, so quick.md's bootstrap does not reach here.
  Copied byte-identically from gsd-core/workflows/_runtime-launcher.snippet.sh,
  the source sync-runtime-launcher.cjs generates every workflow's copy from.
  Without it the call resolves to nothing, 2>/dev/null swallows the error, and
  the fix degrades to a permanently-taken recovery arm.

- No jq. `--pick status` returns the bare value. Per #2589 a `| jq -r` pipe
  yields an EMPTY variable with no diagnostic wherever jq is absent — the
  Windows/Git-Bash default — which here would route a passing verification into
  the recovery arm, strictly worse than the grep being replaced.

- $VERIFICATION_STATUS is a DISPLAY string ("Verified" / "Needs Review" /
  "Gaps") consumed at quick.md:619 and quick.md:684, not the raw status. The
  raw value lands in $STATUS and the new arm sets both, so the failure path
  does not emit an empty index-table cell.

next_action / next_command are deliberately not surfaced. readVerificationStatus
discovers and parses shape-agnostically, which is what makes the status half
correct for ${QUICK_DIR}; but it also reads the directory basename as a phase
token to build those commands, and a quick dir is `${quick_id}-${slug}` with a
date-derived quick_id — so the projection carries the date as a phase argument.
Quick supplies its own recovery actions instead.

Adds tests/fix-3174-quick-verification-status-read.test.cjs under
`allow-test-rule: source-text-is-the-product` (CONTRIBUTING.md's exception
matrix; the pattern tests/verify-work-auto-transition.test.cjs already uses for
verify-work's status-query ordering). It pins five properties: the query
replaces the grep, the bootstrap precedes the call, the bootstrap matches the
canonical launcher snippet, the status-read fence is jq-free, and the terminal
arm names all three sentinels and sets the display string. Verified as a
negative control against pre-fix next: 0/5 pass there, 5/5 here.

9faacc0c15 test(#3148): bound the long tail and delete the unbounded-spawn allowlist (#3192)
* test(#3148): bound the long tail and delete the allowlist

Migrates the final 170 unbounded sync spawn sites across 49 files, then
removes the allowlist entirely. local/no-unbounded-spawn now runs with no
exemption surface across tests/**: there is no file to add a name to.

drift-detection's throw-native git() helper routes to gitOrThrow -- bare
runGit would have taken 16 call sites quiet on failure. commands.test.cjs
has two independently-scoped runGsdTools/runCli helpers, one already bounded
and one not; they are kept distinct rather than unified, the same trap as the
two same-named git() helpers in Wave 1.

runNpm's bound was erasable. Its options spread callerOptions after the
defaults, so an explicit timeout:undefined silently dropped the 180000ms
bound -- the rule flagged it and was right; it was not a false positive. Fixed
by destructuring with a default, with a test that fails when the default is
removed.

Two sites stay on a raw spawn with an explicit timeout because the seam
cannot express them: one needs shell:true for npm.cmd on Windows, one
redirects stdout to a real fd. Both are the rule's own documented second
option, not an escape from it.

Closure verified rather than asserted: the derivation scan reports 0 unbounded
spawn helpers and 0 unbounded direct git call sites, and a temporary file
carrying an unbounded spawn still errors with the allowlist gone.

Closes #3064.

* test(#3148): close a hole in the guard's own eslint-disable ban

The ban listed only the top level of tests/, so it was blind to 37 .cjs
files under tests/helpers, qa, observability, fixtures and dispatch. With the
allowlist deleted this test is the sole remaining way to detect someone
silencing the rule inline, so the gap was load-bearing: a nested file could
carry an unbounded spawn plus an eslint-disable and pass everything.

Proven before and after. A probe planted under tests/helpers with both was
invisible to the guard and clean under eslint; after making the listing
recursive the guard fails on it. The scanned set goes from 771 files to 808.

Pre-existing since the guard shipped, but this wave is what promoted it to
sole defense, so it is fixed here rather than filed.

Also converts the last hand-rolled throw check to throwIfFailed and the last
re-derived legacy shape to compose toLegacyResult, which makes the epic's
none-remain claim true rather than nearly true. toLegacyResult itself is not
widened -- eight callers depend on its shape and one consumer does not
justify changing a shared contract.

* fix(#3148): correct seam incoherence at the bound and a slow review-lane error path

Two real failures from the remote runner, both fixed at the cause.

The seam could return outcome TIMED_OUT together with exitCode 0. At the
exact bound spawnSync reports ETIMEDOUT while the child has already exited
with a real status, and toSeamResult classified on the error code while
passing status straight through -- an incoherent pair its own boundary test
was written to catch, and did. A status that is not null is direct evidence
the child exited on its own, so it now decides the outcome before the
error-code branches run. process-seam.cjs was deliberately untouched by every
earlier wave; this is a defect in the module itself, kept surgical, with a
unit test that fails against the old logic.

review-lane with an unknown subcommand fell through to its usage error only
after loading the capability registry and building a per-lane plan, which
spawns one child process per lane -- up to twelve. The error path took
~1288ms instead of ~119ms, and under bench load it outran a caller's spawn
timeout and was killed before writing anything, which is the empty stdout and
stderr CI saw. It now fails fast before any of that work begins.

This is the epic's first production change. It is user-facing, so it carries
a changeset rather than a no-changelog label.

* test(#3148): replace a real-race timeout test with a deterministic one

E9 raced git rev-parse against a 1ms bound and assumed git always lost. On a
warm container git finishes first, spawnSync returns status 0 with no error
at all, the seam correctly classifies EXITED, and gitOrThrow correctly does
not throw -- so the test failed on both lanes. A probe confirms a genuine
timeout always carries status null, so this was never the seam misbehaving.

Raising the bound would only lengthen the odds, which is the same defect with
better luck. The test now drives gitOrThrow against a stubbed runGit that
returns a synthetic TIMED_OUT result, so it asserts exactly what it always
meant to -- that a timeout propagates as a throw -- with no timing
dependence. Five consecutive runs are identical where the old one varied.

I wrote this test in Wave 0; it is a real-race test by construction and
CLAUDE.md says to replace those rather than re-run them.

3f349e551d fix(#3024): route sync-skills through the shipped gsd-tools instead of an unshipped install.js (#3195)
* fix(#3024): sync-skills workflow uses gsd-tools query skills-root instead of unshipped install.js

The sync-skills workflow Step 2 shelled out to gsd-core/bin/install.js --skills-root,
but install.js is not shipped in installed trees (only in the npm tarball root bin/).
Every /gsd-update --sync invocation failed with MODULE_NOT_FOUND.

Fix: added 'gsd-tools query skills-root <runtime>' subcommand (gsd-tools IS shipped)
that calls the same getGlobalSkillsBase function install.js used. Updated the
workflow to call gsd_run query skills-root instead of the dead install.js path.

Also documented the #3025 verbatim-cp limitation in Step 5 with a workaround.

* test(#3024): failing-first guards for the three defects in the adopted fix

The cherry-picked commit came from an aborted run that never executed its own
tests. Its raw-path assertion fails as written, which is the clearest evidence
the work never reached verification.

Covers:
- --raw must emit a bare path, not JSON (output() takes a third rawValue arg
  that routeSkillsRoot omits, so the raw branch never fires)
- an unknown, empty, whitespace, traversing, or metacharacter-bearing runtime
  must be rejected, not silently resolved to claude's skills root
- sync-skills.md must contain zero references to the unshipped install.js,
  including the guard's remediation text — the issue's second reported defect
- parity across every runtime in the registry, not three hardcoded ones, so the
  two entry points cannot drift

Also converts the adopted tests off a hand-rolled spawnSync onto the bounded
process seam, per CONTRIBUTING.

Fails before the fix. Verified via the remote runner.

* fix(#3024): make the skills-root query actually work and reach non-Claude runtimes

The cherry-picked commit never ran its own tests. Six defects, all fixed here.

--raw was ignored: output() is output(result, raw, rawValue) and the third
argument was omitted, so the raw branch never fired and the workflow captured a
JSON blob as SRC_SKILLS_ROOT. Every downstream cp -r then resolved against a
nonexistent path — the command would have shipped still broken.

An unknown runtime silently resolved to claude's skills root, because
getGlobalSkillsBase falls back rather than returning null, leaving the existing
=== null guard dead. The runtime id is now validated at the CLI boundary against
the shipped registry, so a typo'd --from/--to fails instead of reading from or
writing into the wrong runtime's tree.

getGlobalSkillsBase('vscode') threw a raw TypeError. vscode is non-installable
by descriptor, so it has no skills root — null is the answer, not a crash. The
resolver now short-circuits configHome.kind 'none', which also fixes the same
latent crash in install.js --skills-root vscode. Every caller already gates on
=== null.

sync-skills.md used gsd_run WITHOUT the canonical launcher preamble, so gsd_run
was undefined on non-Claude runtimes — the fix would have been dead in exactly
the place the original bug bit. Preamble propagated via sync-runtime-launcher.

Also registers skills-root in TOP_LEVEL_USAGE (the help/dispatch parity guard
caught it), removes the last two install.js references including the guard's
remediation text (the issue's second reported defect), and updates the stale
assertion that still described the removed contract.

Verified on the remote runner.

* fix(#3024): align the documented runtime list with the registry and gate both entry points

Isolated review returned BLOCK on two findings.

The workflow's Supported-runtimes list and its --to all expansion named grok and
gemini, neither of which is a registered runtime. Once this branch added
validation, --to all — a documented first-class feature — aborted. The list was
hand-copied prose shadowing the registry, so correcting it alone would drift
again; a parity assertion now fails in BOTH directions if the doc and the
registry disagree. vscode is excluded by name: it is installSurface 'none', so
syncing skills to it is meaningless and would abort.

bin/install.js --skills-root reached getGlobalSkillsBase with no own-property
gate, so --skills-root __proto__ silently resolved to claude's skills root. This
branch had just hardened the OTHER entry point to the same function; leaving one
of two parallel surfaces open is the same divergence class as the first finding.
Both now call one shared isRegisteredRuntimeId() rather than a copied check, and
the parity test covers the hostile ids so the two can never disagree again.

Also guards the workflow's root resolution: neither command substitution checked
its exit status and only the source had an existence guard, so a failed
destination resolution left DEST_ROOT empty and turned rm -rf "$DEST_ROOT/$SKILL"
into an absolute path at filesystem root. Both resolutions are now checked, and
Step 5 requires both roots to be non-empty and absolute before any destructive
command.

Verified on the remote runner.

* test(#3024): anchor the runtime-list parity extractor to the list span

The extractor captured (.+) to end of line, so it swallowed the em-dash prose
that explains the vscode exclusion — and that sentence contains backticked
`runtimes` and `null`, which is where the three phantom ids came from. The
documented list was correct; the test was reading its own explanation back as
data. Anchored to the id-list span.

Both directions still fail as intended: proven by injecting a bogus id and by
removing a registered one.

* test(#3024): anchor the --to all extractor and fail loudly on empty captures

The workflow has three TO_RUNTIMES= assignments and the regex matched the first
one — an empty array initializer at line 28 — so the extractor captured nothing
and the assertion diffed [] against 18 ids as if that were data.

That is the same failure twice, so the fix is the general one: every extractor
in this test now asserts it captured a plausible list before comparing, naming
which extractor found nothing and what it was looking for. An extractor that
silently yields [] is a confident wrong answer, and a parity guard that reports
it as a data mismatch teaches the reader to loosen the assertion.

Verified against the real workflow and against doctored copies with each target
construct removed, plus both teeth directions.

* fix(#3024): merge duplicate process-seam import after rebase

The rebase applied cleanly but left runNode declared twice: next had gained its
own import of the seam while this branch added one carrying OUTCOME. A clean
rebase is not a correct one — the file no longer parsed. Merged into a single
import providing both.

* fix(#3024): bind DEST_ROOT per destination instead of a dangling map

Step 2 stored each destination's root into DEST_SKILLS_ROOTS, which nothing ever
read, while Steps 3 and 5 used a scalar DEST_ROOT that nothing ever assigned. The
array was also never declare -A'd, so on bash 3.2 — macOS system bash, which this
repo supports — every destination collapsed onto index 0.

The absolute-path guard added earlier was the only thing standing between that and
rm -rf "/$SKILL"; it turned a silent disaster into a hard stop, but the feature
still could not complete. Each destination now binds its own DEST_ROOT where it is
used, and the unread map is gone rather than replaced.

Step 2 keeps eager validation, so a bad runtime id in a multi-destination --to
aborts before any destination is written rather than after some already have been.

Verified on bash 3.2 with a two-destination run binding distinct roots, and with a
bad id aborting before any destructive call.

* fix(#3024): restore grok support broken by the registry gate

The registry gate added earlier rejected grok, and that was my error. I confirmed
grok was absent from the capability registry and concluded the hardcoded branch
was dead — without checking what it resolved to. It resolves to ~/.agents/skills,
a real grok-specific path, exactly as the pre-fix workflow documented ('grok uses
the ~/.agents layout'), and there is a support discussion doc for it. So a
working, documented runtime silently lost --skills-root and sync-skills support
as a side effect of prototype-pollution hardening — and the parity test I added
locked that in as correct.

gemini is the one that really was dead: it fell through to CLAUDE's skills root,
so rejecting it is right and it stays rejected, as do bogus ids, __proto__,
empty, whitespace and traversal.

The validator's real question is 'does this id have a genuine runtime-specific
resolution', not 'is it in the registry map'. Registry membership was a proxy
that happened to miss grok. Legacy non-registry runtimes with dedicated
resolution branches are now a named, documented set; enumerating every hardcoded
branch in getGlobalConfigDir against the registry confirms grok is the only one.

The new tests assert grok resolves UNDER .agents and specifically not to claude's
root. Allow-listing an id proves nothing about whether it resolves correctly —
that assertion is what would have caught my mistake.

Also uses the shared PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS instead of a duplicate literal, and guards
Step 3's DEST_ROOT re-resolution, which contradicted the file's own stated
guarantee.

Verified on the remote runner.

* test(#3024): guard against LEGACY_NON_REGISTRY_RUNTIME_IDS drifting

The named legacy set is a second hand-maintained proxy for the same predicate
the registry check got wrong — 'does this id resolve runtime-specifically'.
Nothing stopped a third hardcoded branch being added to getGlobalConfigDir
without updating the Set, reproducing the exact class of bug that broke grok.

Production stays explicit and greppable; the test derives the truth instead. It
resolves a sentinel id to learn the generic fallback, classifies every candidate
against it, and fails in both directions — an id resolving runtime-specifically
that is in neither the registry nor the Set, or a Set entry that no longer earns
its exemption. The failure message names the remedy.

Confirms grok resolves runtime-specifically and gemini does not, which is the
distinction the original registry check could not see.

Also reverts the shared-timeout swap: SKILLS_ROOT_PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS is
pre-existing on next and arrived by rebase, so changing it here was scope creep
into another issue's territory.

27aa40f65e fix(#3023): stage pi's shared hook bundle outside pi's reserved hooks/ directory (#3175)
* test(#3023): failing-first guard — pi must not stage hooks in its reserved dir

pi reserves <configDir>/hooks as its deprecated extension location and warns
on every startup when it exists. Assert a pi install stages the shared hook
bundle under gsd-hooks/ instead, manifests it there, and never creates hooks/.

Also adds pi to the local-scope dir table in install-shared.cjs: pi was in
RUNTIME_META but not LOCAL_DIR_NAME, so scope:'local' resolved
path.join(root, undefined) and no local pi install could be exercised.

Fails before the fix. Verified via the remote runner.

* fix(#3023): stage pi's shared hook bundle outside pi's reserved hooks/ dir

pi reserves <configDir>/hooks as its now-deprecated extension location and
warns on every startup when that directory merely exists — checkDeprecatedExtensionDirs()
guards the warning with a bare existsSync(), unlike its tools/ sibling. GSD staged
its shared hook bundle exactly there, and pi's advised remediation (move it to
extensions/) would break the adapter's paths and expose GSD's .js helpers to pi's
extension auto-discovery.

The bundle directory name is now runtime-descriptor-driven: hostBehaviors
.sharedHooksDirName, defaulting to 'hooks' so all 18 other runtimes are
byte-identical. pi sets 'gsd-hooks'. The name is validated as a single path
segment — separators, dot-only segments, trailing dots, absolute paths, NUL,
and Windows reserved device names all fall back to the default, because the
value is joined onto a user's config root and written to.

Renamed in place rather than relocated: hook scripts resolve siblings via
__dirname/.., so a depth change would silently break them.

- install / uninstall / manifest sites all read the resolved name
- pi/gsd.cjs probes gsd-hooks then hooks, so dev checkouts and half-upgraded
  trees still resolve; the never-throws contract is preserved
- new migration 009 retires the legacy pi hooks/ dir on upgrade, using a new
  non-recursive remove-empty-dir engine primitive (rmdirSync only,
  symlink-refusing, containment-guarded); ADR-0008 amended accordingly
- fixes two latent name-dependencies the rename exposed: the stale-hook scan
  and the injection scanner's self-exclusion both hardcoded 'hooks'

Verified on the remote runner.

Closes #3023

* fix(#3023): close review findings and align emitted provenance with the rename

Adversarial review found two defects, and the remote runner found four
failure clusters. All fixed here.

Review BLOCKER — detect-custom-files was blind to the renamed bundle.
GSD_PREFIX_MANAGED_DIRS in gsd-tools.cjs hardcoded 'hooks', so for pi the
whole gsd-hooks/ tree was invisible to the custom-file scan and user-added
files there were never backed up before the next update's clean-install wipe.
The dir set now resolves via the .gsd-runtime marker plus the shipped
capability registry (never bin/install.js, which is not shipped into installed
trees), and falls back to scanning every known candidate when the runtime
cannot be determined — over-scanning is safe, under-scanning is the data loss.

Review MAJOR — the pi adapter bound to an empty bundle. resolveSharedHooksDir
accepted any directory, so an interrupted install left gsd-hooks/ winning over
a fully-staged legacy hooks/ and every hook silently no-opped. A candidate now
qualifies only if it is non-empty.

Remote-runner clusters:
- emitted-provenance had no rule for the gsd-hooks/ family; added two pi-scoped
  rules pointing at the same sources the existing hooks/ rules use. The table is
  total, so an unattributed family is a hard failure by design.
- pi tests in install-minimal-hooks and the install integration suite asserted
  the old layout; updated to derive the dir name from the descriptor rather than
  hardcoding either name.
- 19 unrelated-looking failures on node22 only were a leaked fs mock: t.after()
  runs in registration order, cleanup was registered before mock.restoreAll(),
  and node22's JS rimraf calls the public fs.rmdirSync while node24's native
  path does not — so the EACCES stub leaked process-wide on one lane. Restore
  now runs first.

Verified on the remote runner.

* fix(#3023): honor PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR, ack the rename ripple, fix expandTilde

pi resolves its agent dir as PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR ?? ~/<CONFIG_DIR_NAME>/agent
(packages/coding-agent/src/config.ts). GSD's pi descriptor declared an empty
configHome.env, so a user with that variable set had GSD installed where pi
never looks. Added the env name; the dot-home-nested resolver already handled
the override, so no resolver logic changed.

Also fixes expandTilde in the shared runtime-homes resolver, found while adding
that: it hardcoded os.homedir() and ignored the opts.home every caller threads,
so EVERY runtime's tilde-valued env override (claude, antigravity, windsurf, pi)
silently resolved against the real home. That is a correctness bug and a
test-escape hazard — a sandboxed test asserting on a tilde override reached the
developer's actual home directory. Now threaded through every branch; behavior
with no injected home is unchanged.

Adds the emitted-drift ack fragment for the 58 pi paths whose emitted location
moved with the rename. The provenance rules satisfy the totality gate; the
differential gate needs the ack because the hook sources are byte-unchanged —
only the installer's target directory moved. The two hook files this branch
genuinely edits stay attributed and are not double-acked.

Note on piConfig.configDir: it is read from pi's OWN installed package.json
(getPackageDir walks up from pi's __dirname), alongside piConfig.name — a
white-label setting for a redistributed pi fork, not a per-project user setting.
Documented accordingly rather than treated as an unsupported override.

Verified on the remote runner.

* fix(#3023): reject blank env overrides, pin adapter/descriptor parity

Three review findings, all fixed.

A whitespace-only config-dir override was accepted verbatim: the guard was
`if (val)`, falsy only for the empty string, so PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR='   '
resolved to a literal three-space directory name instead of falling back to the
descriptor default. Fixed across every env-consuming branch — dot-home,
dot-home-nested, all three xdg steps, and generic-agents-root — not just pi's.
Non-blank values are still never trimmed, so '~/My Agent Dir' keeps working.

pi/gsd.cjs's probe list and the descriptor were two independent sources of truth
for the bundle directory name; a future rename would have desynced them silently
and left every pi hook quiet with no error. The probe list stays deliberate — it
must resolve in a dev checkout and a half-upgraded tree, where the registry's
answer would be wrong — so this adds the parity assertion the repo's
generative-fix-divergence rule calls for: the descriptor value must be the FIRST
candidate, and the default must remain present.

Changeset body rewritten to cover the two later user-facing fixes it had not
caught up with.

Verified on the remote runner.

* chore(#3023): backfill changeset PR number

* fix(#3023): anchor injection-scan patterns and fix a macOS detection hole

CI's security job flagged CONTEXT.md:124 — pre-existing prose reading 'not the
same fact as a genuinely empty or absent one'. The match was the 'act as a'
INSIDE 'f-act as a': the pattern had no left word boundary, so any word ending
in act tripped it (fact, impact, contract, artifact, interact, redact,
abstract). My four-line CONTEXT.md edit dragged the latent false positive into
this PR because the scan is diff-scoped by file but reads whole files. Anchored
with (^|[^[:alnum:]]) rather than rewording maintainer-owned prose, which would
have left the class alive for the next PR touching any file saying 'fact as a'.

Auditing the rest of the list for the same class surfaced a real detection hole:
the eval/exec/Function patterns matched a quote via \x27, a GNU-grep-only hex
escape. BSD/macOS grep reads it as four literal characters, so single-quoted
eval('...')/exec('...') payloads were NEVER detected there while passing on
GNU-grep CI. Replaced with a literal apostrophe class.

Boundaries were added only where a real word-suffix collision exists; exec,
jailbreak, developer mode and the role-manipulation family were audited and
deliberately left unanchored. 22 new cases cover both directions — the false
positives now scan clean, and every real payload still fires, including the
quote/punctuation/start-of-line boundary forms.

Also builds this branch's injection test fixture at runtime instead of carrying
the literal phrase, so the payload keeps its teeth without tripping the scan.

8a0c1bce2e test(#3149): correct stale tdd_mode assertion and drop a marker-token collision
Two failures from the remote runner on 654b2cc10, both introduced here.

1. tests/mcp-catalog-parity.install.test.cjs greps emitted workflow files
   for the bare substring 'gsd:section' and treats its presence in a
   composed file as an un-stripped marker. debug.md's new Step 0 prose
   documented the field by writing that token literally, so the emitted
   file tripped the gate even though the parser correctly ignored it as
   prose. Reworded to 'applicability-section markers'. Same class as
   DEFECT.PROMPT-INJECTION-SCAN-COLLISION.

2. tests/debug-session-management.test.cjs asserted debug.md contains the
   literal 'config-get workflow.tdd_mode'. That call is gone. The
   invariant it protected -- tdd_mode comes from the workflow.tdd_mode
   key, never a bare top-level one -- is unchanged, and now has a
   stronger behavioral home: init-debug.test.cjs row A9 asserts a bare
   key is ignored and the canonical key is honored, whatever the read
   mechanism.

2bead6ca1d feat(#3149): add dedicated init.debug entry point for /gsd:debug
/gsd:debug was one of the last workflows with no cmdInit* of its own: its
Step 0 made three separate round-trips (state.load, resolve-model
gsd-debugger, config-get workflow.tdd_mode) to assemble one context. Because
no debug-scoped fact was computed at any entry point, ADR-1671 admission gate
(2) could never be satisfied for debug — an applicability atom naming such a
fact would evaluate FALSE forever and silently exclude its section.

Adds cmdInitDebug (init.debug), registers it in the init router and the
command-alias table, and collapses debug.md Step 0 to one call. Every field
resolves through the same primitive the call it replaces used: loadConfig for
commit_docs, withProjectRoot for response_language (#2402), planningPaths for
debug_dir, resolveModelInternal for debugger_model, and the existing
Boolean(workflow.tdd_mode) idiom for tdd_mode.

PlanningPaths gains a debug field so state.load and init.debug share ONE
debug-directory expression rather than two kept in sync by hand. state.load
keeps emitting debug_dir: it is a shipped query surface with its own test
anchor, so narrowing it would break unseen consumers for no gain.

No WHEN_VOCABULARY atom and no gsd:section marker: gate (1), a consuming
section of at least 400 bytes, belongs to the change that adds the section.

* fix(#3086): apply #2667 .cmd-shim gate to deps.spawn + surface errorCode in review lanes

deps.spawn used shell:false with a bare binary name — on Windows, npm-installed
CLIs (gemini, codex, etc.) are .cmd shims that CreateProcess cannot start,
producing ENOENT + empty stderr. The review path then wrote an empty err file
and emitted a generic 'failed or returned empty output' stub.

Two fixes:
1. deps.spawn: detect .cmd/.bat on win32 and mediate through cmd.exe /d /s /c
   (same gate as runWithTimeout #2667, same explicit argv array).
2. runSpawnLane: surface errorCode (ENOENT, ETIMEDOUT) in the err file so the
   stub explains WHY the lane produced nothing.

* fix(#3132): realign spec/plan/ui-phase workflow prose from retired covered/backstop-as-status to resolved+verification

The edge-probe resolution model splits status (resolved|dismissed|unresolved)

used the pre-re-cut covered/backstop-as-status vocabulary that validateResolution
rejects.

Swept all three prose surfaces:
- spec-phase.md: Step 5.5 resolution options, --auto mode + log line, comment, Step 6 row list
- plan-phase.md: lift rule (L778/L780), comments (L564/L706), quality gate (L826-827)
- ui-phase.md: resolution loop (L391), --auto mode (L405-409), write-back format (L415)

retired vocab is absent and resolved+verification is used instead.

The diff-base fallback in code-review.md used git log --grep with a bare
phase number (unanchored substring), matching version strings, dates, issue

a commit from months or years before the phase existed. The fail-closed

589a9b29b0 fix(#2962): enable nullglob in for-glob shell blocks for zsh portability (#3087)
* fix(#2962): enable nullglob in for-glob shell blocks for zsh portability

Workflow shell blocks are fenced bash but execute in the user's login shell
(zsh on macOS). zsh's nomatch default aborts the WHOLE block on an unmatched
glob in a for-list (not just skipping the command), silently bypassing every
statement after it — including the verify-phase decision-coverage gate,
whose optional *-CONTEXT.md lookup used the unsafe for-list form so the
DECISION_RESULT= assignment on the next line never ran under zsh.

Fix: prepend a portable nullglob shim to every bash block containing a
for-glob loop:
  shopt -s nullglob 2>/dev/null; setopt NULL_GLOB 2>/dev/null
Each command no-ops (stderr suppressed) in the shell that doesn't recognize
it; the matching shell enables nullglob so an unmatched glob expands to
nothing and the loop body is skipped cleanly. Verified locally: both zsh and
bash now reach end-of-block (rc=0) on a no-match glob; bash matched-case
behavior unchanged.

14 blocks across 7 files: verify-phase.md (4, incl. the decision-coverage
gate), review.md, execute-phase.md, resume-project.md, complete-milestone.md,
audit-milestone.md, gsd-integration-checker.md, gsd-plan-checker.md (3).

8f75e27554 fix(#3045): fail closed when an executor dispatch drops its resolved isolation (#3069)
* feat(#3045): deny an executor dispatch that drops its isolation flag

Every isolation gate already resolved correctly. The resolved value then reached
the executor through a prose instruction telling the model to substitute it into
a call the model composes itself, and nothing verified the substitution. When it
was dropped, the executor edited and committed in the user's primary checkout
with no consent and no warning.

A prose backstop would be the same class of artifact as the defect, so this is a
shipped PreToolUse hook on the Agent tool. It fires at the instant of the call
rather than being read once at the top of a workflow, which is the only placement
the model cannot skip.

The guard is inert unless it can positively establish that this is a GSD project,
that the project resolves to harness isolation, and that the dispatch targets an
executor. A non-GSD repo has no invariant to enforce. Where it cannot read the
configuration at all, it denies rather than assuming, with its own reason -- a
guard that cannot verify must not answer safe. A malformed payload allows rather
than throwing.

* feat(#3045): extend the isolation guard to Cursor

Cursor is the second of only two runtimes that resolve harness isolation, so
shipping the guard for Claude alone left half the exposed surface unguarded while
the changeset implied it was covered.

The two runtimes fail differently. On Claude the harness flag is a per-dispatch
kwarg the model must copy into a call it composes, and the defect is that it can
be dropped. On Cursor the flag is --worktree, which applies to the whole session,
and the subagent-start payload carries no isolation field at all. There is no
flag to check, so the guard verifies the effective state instead: whether the
workspace is genuinely running outside the user's primary checkout. That is a
stronger check than the Claude one because it tests reality rather than intent,
and it is commented so nobody later rewrites it into a flag check.

Isolation is established two ways, either sufficient: the workspace resolves to a
linked git worktree, or it sits under the worktree root Cursor manages. The
second matters because a directory Cursor placed there is a legitimate isolated
session even before it becomes a distinct git worktree, where linkage alone would
report no repository.

Detecting linkage required a new primitive rather than the existing context
resolver. That resolver short-circuits on finding a local .planning directory
before it ever compares the git directory to the common one -- and an isolation
worktree normally has its own checked-out .planning. Reusing it would have read a
correctly isolated session as unisolated and denied it, which is the failure
direction that gets a guard switched off. The comparison is now its own
shortcut-free function that the resolver delegates to after its own shortcut, so
existing behavior is unchanged, and the case that would have broken is pinned.

The subagent type is checked before any configuration is read, so an unreadable
config cannot deny a dispatch this guard would never have enforced against.

The input-schema comment on the Cursor hook documented only the fields common to
every event and omitted the ones specific to this one. That omission cost a
halt during this work; it now documents both.

* fix(#3045): enforce the resolved dispatch decision, not the host capability

The guard keyed on the registry's dispatch.isolation, which says only that a
runtime is CAPABLE of harness worktrees. The decision that actually governs a
dispatch is the one the workflow resolves after gating, and that legitimately
comes out as sequential in three documented cases: a project setting
use_worktrees false, a per-plan submodule intersection, and the base-check
auto-degrade. The workflow tells the model to omit the flag in exactly those
cases, and the guard was denying every one of them.

The third case matters most. The preceding fix made the base-check degrade on
git timeouts and a missing git binary, where it had previously answered "safe".
That correction is right, and it means a transient hang now degrades to
sequential far more often than before -- so the two changes composed into a trap
where the workflow behaved exactly as designed and the guard blocked it.

The workflow already resolves isolation in shell, deterministically, which is
what makes it a trustworthy source in a way the model-authored call is not. It
now records that resolved value through a dedicated verb, and both guards read
it first. A fresh record is authoritative, so sequential dispatches pass
untouched. Absent or stale, the guards fall back to the capability check
combined with the project's use_worktrees setting, which still covers the case
that never reaches the workflow.

Also widened the matcher to accept Task alongside Agent, since a host that names
the tool Task would otherwise leave the guard silently inert while implying
coverage; stopped assuming Claude when no runtime is declared, which is the
shipped default and would have demanded a Claude-only argument elsewhere; and
made a non-git project inert rather than denied, since advising a worktree
session is not actionable without a repository.

The original diagnosis never modeled sequential mode as legitimate. That
omission is what let this through, and it is now recorded there.

* fix(#3045): record at resolution and bind the record to its dispatch

Two independent reviews converged on the same failure: the guard was fail-open in
a default install, so it did not catch the defect it exists to catch. A shipped
project carries no runtime key, which made "runtime not confidently known" the
common case rather than a corner one. A record asserting that isolation was
required but carrying no flag then fell through to a capability lookup that
answered "none", and the dispatch was allowed. The flag itself only arrived from
a second shell block -- the same block a model dropping the argument would also
skip. A test had pinned that behavior as intended.

The record is now written by the resolver, as an unavoidable consequence of
asking for the value, rather than by a step the model is told in prose to go and
run. A guard against a prose-carried value cannot itself depend on prose. Mode,
flag and identifiers are written together and atomically, so the flagless window
is gone, and a record asserting isolation with no resolvable flag now denies
instead of degrading. Runtime is also resolved from the installer's own recorded
default, which makes confident resolution the normal case.

The per-plan submodule gate degrades after the phase-level decision and never
re-recorded, so a plan that legitimately ran sequentially was denied against a
still-fresh phase record. It now records its own, scoped to the plan.

A record also authorized any dispatch for four hours. One phase degrading to
sequential could silently license an unisolated dispatch in the next. Records
now carry phase and plan, the guards require them to match, and the window is
minutes rather than hours -- the resolver rewrites it before every dispatch, so
a long window bought nothing and only widened the hole.

The flag validator rejected any value beginning with two dashes, which is exactly
the form Cursor and Windsurf declare, so their real value could never have been
stored. Writer and reader also derived the record path differently and diverged
inside a linked worktree without local planning state.

The predictable path remains a way to silence the control without leaving a trace
in the diff. It grants no access an agent with shell does not already have, so it
is documented as accepted rather than redesigned around.

* fix(#3045): correct the staleness boundary and unmask a vacuous parity test

The remote runner returned twenty failures. One was a real production defect the
boundary case existed to catch: a record whose age exactly equalled the staleness
window was treated as fresh, so it stayed authoritative for one tick past its own
expiry. Freshness is now strictly inside the window.

The parity test meant to stop the two guards' executor lists from drifting could
never have failed. Its project fixture was a bare directory rather than a
repository, so the non-git inert branch answered before the executor list was
ever consulted. It asserted agreement it never actually measured. The fixture is
now a real repository, like every sibling in the file.

A test also asserted that Windsurf declares the worktree flag. It does not --
Windsurf resolves to no isolation by design, having no named concurrent dispatch
to isolate. The test claimed a registry fact that was never true, and a comment
in the resolver repeated it. Both corrected, and the test now proves what it
should have all along: that the parser accepts any bare flag value, rather than
one runtime's supposed value.

The new guard was missing from the bundled-hook whitelist, which is the surface
that decides what actually ships, and the per-plan gate had gained calls to the
launcher without the preamble those calls require. The changeset carried
parenthetical product descriptions the purity rule forbids.

* test(#3045): make the guard tests hold on Windows

Two tests redirect HOME to control where the installer-persisted runtime default
is read from. Node resolves the home directory from USERPROFILE on Windows and
never consults HOME, so both silently read the real runner profile, found no
recorded runtime, and asserted against a project the hook had not recognised. The
production code was already correct in asking the platform rather than the
variable; only the tests were wrong to assume one variable answers everywhere.
The helpers now mirror the override onto both.

The symlink spoofing test also created a directory symlink unconditionally, which
needs elevated privileges on Windows. It survived on this runner, but it would
fail on any host without them, so the creation is now attempted and the test
skips explicitly when it cannot be done -- a bare return would have counted as a
pass and hidden the gap.

Skipping alone would have left the platform uncovered, so the behaviour it proves
is now also driven in-process through an injected realpath, following the seam
already used for the clock. That case no longer depends on privileges at all, and
the end-to-end test keeps its original assertions wherever symlinks work.

c547e73a71 fix(#2927): merge installed overlay reviewer lanes into review-lane invocation (#3062)
* test(#2927): prove overlay reviewer lanes are invisible to review-lane

Failing-first regression for #2927. routeReviewLane builds its lane map from
the static REVIEWER_LANES array only, so an installed overlay reviewer lane
(role:"reviewer" capability) is roster-visible and disclosed at install but
never selectable, plannable, or invocable. The test exercises a pure
mergeReviewerLanes(firstParty, registry) helper that does not exist yet, so
every row fails at the require().

* fix(#2927): merge installed overlay reviewer lanes into review-lane invocation

routeReviewLane built its lane map exclusively from the frozen first-party
REVIEWER_LANES array, so an installed, consented third-party reviewer lane
(role:"reviewer" capability) was roster-visible and disclosed at install but
never selectable, plannable, or invocable — sections/flags/plan/invoke all
shared the one static map.

Add a pure, total mergeReviewerLanes(firstParty, registry) helper
(src/review-lane-descriptor.cts) implementing ADR-2782 D8: first-party ∪
installed overlay reviewer bodies, first-party winning on slug collision. The
overlay body is field-identical to ReviewerLane per ADR-2782 D1 ("no
translation layer"), so the helper MERGES rather than PROJECTS. Malformed
overlays (missing/non-object body, empty or grammar-invalid slug) are skipped,
never thrown — one bad third-party manifest cannot take the first-party lanes
down. routeReviewLane consults loadRegistry({includeInstalled:true}) and
degrades to the static set on any load failure.

* test(#2927): add CLI-seam coverage for the wiring defect + normalize slug

Two findings from the isolated adversarial review:

1. The test matrix's rows 9-10 (acceptance criteria #1-#3: overlay appears
   in sections/flags and plan resolves ok) were documented as covered but
   had no backing tests. The eight pure-helper tests would stay green if the
   one-line routeReviewLane wiring were reverted — the actual defect this PR
   closes had no regression guard. Add real end-to-end CLI tests that install
   a global-scope role:"reviewer" overlay and assert review-lane
   sections/flags/plan see it through loadRegistry -> mergeReviewerLanes.

2. mergeReviewerLanes trimmed the slug for the map key but stored the body
   with its untrimmed slug, diverging from deriveReviewerSlugs (which trims
   before adding to the roster). Normalize the stored lane's slug to the
   trimmed value so the two surfaces agree on the canonical key.

* test(#2927): correct CLI-seam fixtures for reviewer manifest shape

Two corrections from local CLI smoke-testing before the verification run:

1. role:"reviewer" manifests must omit feature-only fields (skills/agents/
   steps/contributions/gates/hooks/runtimeCompat) — the validator rejects them.
   Match the shipped capabilities/lm-studio shape.

2. The plan subcommand renders an ARRAY of {slug,ok,section,transport,...}
   (it strips the nested invocation plan object), so assert on the array
   element, not a top-level object. Also drop the malformed-flag-filter
   assertion: the capability validator enforces flag grammar at install time,
   so a lane with a malformed flag cannot be installed and never reaches the
   flags shape filter (which is defense-in-depth, not independently reachable).

* fix(#2927): drop unnecessary type assertion flagged by lint:ci

The `body as object` cast inside the spread is redundant — body is already
narrowed to object by the preceding typeof check. eslint no-unnecessary-type-
assertion flagged it; lint:ci is a merge gate.

* chore(#2927): add changeset fragment

pr:0 placeholder backfilled with the real PR number once the PR exists.

* fix(#2927): access runGsdTools result via .output in CLI-seam tests

runGsdTools returns {success, output, exitCode, error}, not a string. The CLI
tests (rows 9-10) passed the result object directly to JSON.parse/.split, which
string-coerced to "[object Object]" and threw under gsd-test (3 failures). My
local smoke test ran the CLI directly (string stdout), so it missed this — the
helper wraps execFileSync and returns a result object. Access .output and assert
.success explicitly, matching the established capability-cli.test.cjs convention.

ed360cd99f chore(#2995): extend fragment emission to agents/ and reclaim size-cap headroom (#3058)
* feat(#2995): extend fragment emission to agents/ across every read point

Epic #1671 Phase 6.4. `composeWorkflow` stripped `<!-- gsd:section -->` markers
only for `gsd-core/workflows/`, so a marked agent shipped its markers verbatim
into every runtime — and agent text is loaded into a subagent's context on every
dispatch.

The issue proposed widening the `copyWithPathReplacement` guard. That is a no-op
for agents: agents never traverse that function. Agent content is read for
emission at five independent points, and the obvious chokepoint
`stageAgentsForProfile` short-circuits on the DEFAULT `full` profile
(`skills === '*'` returns the real unstaged directory), so a hook placed there is
dead code on most installs.

Composition now happens at two call sites instead of five parallel surfaces:
`stageAgentsForRuntimeWithConverter` (with `agentsKind` and `kimiAgentsKind`
routed through it via an identity converter) and the inline agent loop in
bin/install.js. Both compose BEFORE any path rewrite, so a `.claude/` ->
`.windsurf/` regex can never reach inside a marker attribute — the ordering
#2930 established for workflows.

`installCodexConfig` was the fifth read point: Codex embeds each agent's prompt
into a per-agent `.toml` via its own readFileSync. Call-graph analysis missed it;
the exhaustive per-runtime emission sweep found it. That is why the new guard is
behavioral rather than structural — a sixth read point fails the sweep without
anyone remembering to extend a list.

tests/agent-fragments-emission.install.test.cjs spawns a real installer for every
runtime at every agent-bearing scope, derived from RUNTIME_META and the
capability registry at run time so a new runtime cannot be silently
under-covered. It asserts markers are absent AND the `when="always"` body is
retained, so marker-absence cannot be satisfied by dropping content. An
identity-composer negative control proves the assertion can fail.

Verified: 0 install failures, 0 marker leaks, body retained on 27 runtime/scope
paths; red before the wiring on claude(global+local), zcode(global+local),
kimi, codex and opencode.

Refs #2995

* chore(#2995): give the tightest agents headroom and correct the design lock

Epic #1671 Phase 6.4, second half.

`agents/gsd-verifier.md` had 12 bytes of headroom under its 49,152-byte LARGE
cap and `agents/gsd-debugger.md` had 147 under its 57,344-byte XL cap. Both now
extract reference material to `gsd-core/references/` behind an @-reference — the
documented DEFECT.AGENT-FILE-SIZE-CAP-BREACH remedy:

  gsd-verifier  49,140 -> 46,371 B   headroom    12 -> 2,781
  gsd-debugger  57,197 -> 48,851 B   headroom   147 -> 8,493

Byte accounting proves no content was lost: the combined agent+reference delta
is exactly the new files' headers plus the agents' slim replacement blocks. Each
agent keeps its routing table and a one-line summary per entry, so it degrades
gracefully on a runtime that does not inline @-references.

`agents/gsd-planner.md` is untouched and still passes both char guards
(49,130 < 49,152); it needed no change, so it took none.

The other nine LARGE/XL agents carry NO gsd:section markers, and that is
deliberate, not deferred. `when=` selection is read from
gsd-core/workflows/section-manifest.json, which gen-section-manifest.cjs derives
from gsd-core/workflows/*.md only — shape `{workflows: ...}`, no per-agent key,
no per-agent init entry point. An agent atom therefore fails admission gate (2)
("a fact the init seam demonstrably computes at a real entry point") and would
evaluate false forever while looking like working gating. Marking agents would
manufacture exactly the silent-inertness rot the frozen vocabulary exists to
prevent.

ADR-1671 gains three amendments, two of which close gaps /adr-phase-coverage
found against what actually merged:

  - The 19 -> 29 vocabulary widening shipped in #2994 with no coordinated ADR
    amendment, which that bullet's own rule forbids. Recorded now.
  - `flag:--verify-only` was one of six atoms #2992 withheld and deferred to
    "the LARGE/XL rollout phase". Five shipped; this one is permanently
    rejected, and that disposition lived only in a merged PR body.
  - Phase 6.4's own finding: emission extends to agents/, gating does not.

CONTEXT.md's glossary was stale on both seams — Workflow Fragments Module still
listed the original 4-atom vocabulary and described when= as "not yet acted on",
and Section Manifest Module still described InvocationFacts as
{waveFlag, phaseNumber, hasPriorPhases}. Both now match the shipped contract.

Inventory manifest regenerated AFTER build:lib per the documented ordering
landmine; 19 install-tree fixtures pick up the two new references.

Refs #2995

* chore(#2995): correct the compose-site count and mark the raw stager

Self-review found two comment defects in the prior commit. The agentsKind
comment claimed composition lands at TWO call sites; it is three, since
installCodexConfig's per-agent .toml writer was added after that comment was
written. And stageAgentsForProfile is now production-dead — both callers route
through the composing stager — while staying exported and unit-tested, which
makes it a trap: it does a raw copyFileSync and short-circuits to the unstaged
source directory under the default profile, so a future caller would silently
reintroduce the marker-shipping path. Its JSDoc now says so.

* test(#2995): guard the marker-documenting-doc class for agents

Widening the composer's scope to agents/ makes reachable the exact class #2930
narrowed scope to avoid: a file that DOCUMENTS the marker syntax with an
unfenced example is indistinguishable from a real marker, so the composer drops
that line from the emitted artifact.

Three rows. A fenced example must compose byte-identically. No shipped agent may
carry a marker outside a fence — asserted by parsing every real agent and
requiring zero explicit sections, which is what makes the fence protection
load-bearing rather than decorative. And a non-vacuity row asserts an UNFENCED
marker IS parsed as a real marker, so if that ever stops being true the second
row is guarding nothing.

Also applies two review findings: stageAgentsForProfile's new JSDoc claimed it
had no production caller, which is false — bin/install.js's _stageAgents still
calls it, and its consumers compose before writing. Corrected to state the
invariant instead. And a let/const nit in the emission sweep.

* fix(#2995): keep verifier status vocabulary in the agent, fix a wrong fixture

The first remote run came back red with three failures. Both root causes were
mine.

1. tests/agent-frontmatter.test.cjs requires agents/gsd-verifier.md to literally
   contain HOLLOW and DISCONNECTED. The Step 4b extraction moved that status
   vocabulary into gsd-core/references/verifier-wiring-patterns.md, so the agent
   no longer had it.

   Byte accounting said no content was lost, and byte-wise that was true — but a
   contract required those tokens to live IN THE AGENT. That is ADR-1671:66's
   flexReserve floor stated concretely: a load-bearing fragment must not be
   trimmed out of its host, and "the bytes still exist somewhere" is not the
   test. The two status tables are restored to the agent and deliberately
   mirrored in the reference with a note saying so, so the procedure there still
   reads standalone. gsd-verifier lands at 47,069 B — headroom 12 -> 2,083,
   rather than the 2,781 the first attempt claimed.

2. Row 12b of the new marker-documentation guard asserted that an unfenced
   marker example parses as a real marker, and threw instead:
   "unmatched /gsd:section close marker". The grammar is WHOLE-LINE only. The
   fixture had put the OPEN marker inline mid-sentence, so it was correctly not
   recognised as an open while the close, on its own line, was.

   That is a real refinement of the hazard this guard exists for: only a marker
   on its OWN line is mis-parsed — which is exactly how a documentation example
   is normally written. Row 12b now uses a whole-line marker, and a new row 12c
   pins the inline case as explicitly NOT a marker.

No test was weakened to accommodate the change; the change was corrected to
satisfy the tests.

b146b82e3c fix(#2868): resume a phase stranded between its last plan and verification (#3041)
* fix(#2868): resume a phase stranded between its last plan and verification

discover_and_group_plans exited unconditionally once every plan was filtered
out, conflating "no plan work left" with "phase fully done". Those differ once a
run can be interrupted between the final wave's SUMMARY and the verify step --
most often by a checkpoint plan that is retired but still writes a SUMMARY. The
result was a phase that looked healthy from every index yet had no
VERIFICATION.md, and whose recommended recovery command provably no-opped,
because the only step that produces the artifact sits ten steps past that exit.

The exit is now conditional. When the verification report is genuinely missing
and no filter is active, the run reports the situation by name and continues at
the tail gates instead of stopping.

Two guards keep the normal paths untouched:

- A filtered run (--gaps-only, or an explicit wave) finding nothing left in its
  own slice says nothing about whether the phase as a whole is done, so it exits
  exactly as before. Without this, --wave 1 on a finished first wave would jump
  to verification with later waves still outstanding.
- A phase that already has its report exits as before too.

The recovered path deliberately keeps the code-review and regression gates. The
manual workaround this replaces skipped both, and that gap is the reason a real
route exists rather than telling users to spawn the verifier by hand.

Also acknowledges the emitted growth of the workflow file. As with #2830 it is
appended to the fragment that already owns that path, since the linter hard-fails
when two acknowledgment sources name the same one.

* fix(#2868): never treat a blocked-and-incomplete phase as finished

Three findings from adversarial review, all fixed.

BLOCKER -- the trigger conflated two different zero-runnable states. This step
now has two skip rules: has_summary (the #2868 target) and, from #2830, a skip
for plans whose blocked_by is non-empty. "All filtered" was therefore reachable
with plans that never ran: plan A halts and is summarized, plan B is blocked by
A and has no summary. The resume path fired, announced "All N plans are
summarized" -- false -- skipped the wave steps so B was never dispatched, and
jumped to the gates. B was silently abandoned, which is the same class of
disappearance #2830 exists to prevent, reintroduced one layer up.

The decision is now an explicit ordered three-way: a filtered run exits
unchanged; any blocked-plan skip reports the phase as stuck on a halt and exits,
routing to resolving the halt rather than to verification; only an
all-summarized, unfiltered phase with a missing report resumes.

MAJOR -- RESUME_TAIL_ONLY was set and never read anywhere in the workflow or its
step fragments. Dead state implying enforcement that did not exist. Removed; the
imperative at the decision point is what actually carries the control flow, so it
now says so plainly.

MAJOR -- the resume path skipped aggregate_results, which is the only step that
runs the secure-phase threats-open gate. A phase with open threats would have
advanced with no warning where a normal run always shows one. The path now
enters at aggregate_results, verified to read only on-disk phase artifacts and
independent queries, so it tolerates having executed no plans this run.

ef823ca9d9 fix(#2830): propagate a halted plan to its transitive dependents (#3038)
* test(#2830): add failing regression tests for halted-plan dependent blocking

Add tests/fix-2830-halted-plan-dependents.test.cjs covering direct,
transitive (2 and 3 hop), and diamond dependents of a halted plan across
both independent "which plans are incomplete" readers (phase-plan-index's
cmdPhasePlanIndex and findPhaseInternal/searchPhaseInDir), the negative
case (an unrelated decoupled plan stays runnable), and a parity check that
the two readers agree. Uses only modules that already exist at this
commit (gsd-tools.cjs via subprocess, the pre-existing phase-locator.cjs)
so the test file loads and runs cleanly on a fresh clone of this exact
commit. These fail against current behavior: neither reader has any
concept of a halted plan or a blocked_by/runnable view yet.

* fix(#2830): a halted plan no longer leaves its dependents on the runnable work list

A plan that reaches a designed stop still writes a SUMMARY, so both
"which plans are incomplete" readers saw it as an ordinary completion and
reported its dependents as ordinary runnable work — never checking
whether an upstream plan had halted rather than finished.

- New `status: halted` frontmatter value, documented in all four SUMMARY
  templates alongside the existing `status: complete`.
- New shared src/plan-dependency-graph.cts: a single computeHaltPropagation
  pass that both phase.cts's cmdPhasePlanIndex (wave-grouping) and
  phase-locator.cts's searchPhaseInDir (the phase-location primitive, ~50
  dependent symbols across 5 command routers) now call, so the
  two-implementation divergence that caused this bug cannot recur. It
  accepts an optional precomputedOrder so cmdPhasePlanIndex — which already
  runs Kahn's algorithm in computeDependencyLevels for wave assignment —
  passes that order straight through instead of a second traversal;
  searchPhaseInDir (no prior traversal) lets the module derive its own.
  The two small duplicated predicates each reader would otherwise carry
  (is this status "halted"?, which summary file matches which plan id?)
  are centralized in the same module as isHaltedStatus/buildSummaryFileIndex.
- Additive fields only: `halted`/`blocked_by`/`runnable` on
  cmdPhasePlanIndex's plans[] and top level, `halted_plans`/`blocked_by`/
  `runnable_plans` on searchPhaseInDir's result. The pre-existing
  `incomplete`/`incomplete_plans` fields are unchanged in meaning and
  membership.
- execute-phase.md's discover_and_group_plans step now also skips any
  plan whose `blocked_by` is non-empty, reporting it by name with its
  blocking chain, in addition to (not instead of) the existing
  has_summary skip rule.

Extends tests/fix-2830-halted-plan-dependents.test.cjs (introduced in the
prior commit) with direct unit coverage of computeHaltPropagation
(including the precomputedOrder call shape) and a fast-check property
test — both only possible once this commit's new module exists.

Closes #2830

* fix(#2830): surface the halt-aware view from init execute-phase

The adopted work made phase-locator compute halted_plans / blocked_by /
runnable_plans, but cmdInitExecutePhase builds its output by explicitly
enumerating fields, so all three were computed and then silently dropped at
the exact consumer the issue names as regressed.

Forwards them additively -- incomplete_plans and incomplete_count keep their
name, type and semantics byte-for-byte -- and adds the same three empty
defaults to the roadmap-only fallback so the shape is consistent in both
branches. Covered by a new test that drives the real CLI end to end rather
than the locator function, since the locator already worked.

* fix(#2830): fail closed on dependency cycles and stop the templates inviting the defect

Three review findings, all fixed:

- BLOCKER (isolated adversarial). Cycle participants never reach indegree 0 in
  the Kahn pass, so they were excluded from the topological order, never visited
  by the forward pass, and vanished from blocked_by entirely -- i.e. reported as
  runnable. The wave-grouping reader hard-fails on a cycle so it never hit this,
  but the phase-location reader does not, so init execute-phase offered a plan
  depending directly on a halted plan. Reproduced, then fixed in the shared
  engine so every consumer is safe regardless of pre-checks: a node absent from
  the order is now blocked with a deterministic, non-empty named cause. A plan
  silently missing from both blocked_by and runnable is the exact disappearance
  this issue exists to prevent.

- MAJOR (isolated adversarial). All four summary templates showed the field as
  an inline comment on the value line. Frontmatter parsing does not strip
  trailing comments, so an executor copying the templates' own presentation
  wrote a halt that parsed as a non-halted string, silently reproducing the
  original bug. Guidance moved off the value line, and the halt predicate now
  tolerates an unquoted trailing comment.

- HARD standards violation. A test regex-matched child-process stderr prose for
  /cycle/i, which CONTRIBUTING bans. Replaced with the structured failure signal
  plus a differential assertion (same fixture without the cycle edge must
  succeed), so it stays cycle-specific without matching prose.

Also folds the duplicated read-summary-and-check-halted wrapper out of both
readers into the shared module -- centralizing only the predicate left the exact
two-copies-that-drift pattern the module exists to prevent -- and commits the
artifact-types documentation for the new status value.

* test(#2830): stop the property generator hanging the whole suite

The remote runner did not fail -- it hung. Two containers sat in this file for
31+ minutes, and an earlier attempt ran 9 hours before I killed it. The runner
passes --test-timeout=0, so nothing ever reaps it: this would have hung CI
indefinitely, not reported a failure.

Root cause: the DAG generator built edges by rejection --

  from: fc.integer({ min: 0, max: n - 1 })
  to:   fc.integer({ min: 0, max: n - 1 })
  .filter(({ from, to }) => from < to)

With n === 1 both integers are forced to 0, so the predicate is unsatisfiable
and fast-check retries value generation forever. n is drawn from 1..12 and
fast-check biases toward boundary values, so n === 1 is reached almost at once.

This also explains why the failing-first run completed normally while the fixed
run hung: before the fix the graph module did not exist, so the property test
threw on import and never reached generation. It only starts hanging once the
code under test works.

Generates the DAG by construction instead -- `to` is drawn strictly above
`from`, with the degenerate single-node case short-circuited to an empty edge
list -- so no rejection sampling is involved. Switches the import to the shared
fast-check setup so the seed and run count are pinned per CONTRIBUTING, and adds
a bounded regression guard that samples the arbitrary directly, so a future
reintroduction fails loudly instead of hanging.

Verified: the file now completes in 2 seconds, 29 tests started and 29 finished,
zero failures, against an indefinite hang before.

* fix(#2830): restore the depends_on display contract and acknowledge the workflow growth

Full-suite run surfaced two things the focused harnesses could not.

1. Regression of a pinned pre-existing contract (#3785). A refactor routed the
   EMITTED depends_on field through the new dependency resolver, which also
   consults the canonical-prefix map. The original consulted the plan map only,
   so a short canonical prefix passed through verbatim -- '24-01' stayed
   '24-01' rather than becoming '24-01-auth-hardening'. The emitted field is a
   DISPLAY mapping, not the DAG resolution, and #3785 pins that. Reverted with
   a comment recording why it must not use the resolver; full resolution is
   still used for the wave DAG and halt propagation, which is what needs it.

2. The workflow file grew 518 bytes without an acknowledgment, from the
   halt-aware skip rule and the widened parse contract. Acknowledged.

Note on where the acknowledgment landed: the guidance is to add a NEW fragment,
but execute-phase.md is already named by an existing fragment and the linter
hard-fails when two ack sources name the same path. Appending to the owning
fragment, following its own established multi-PR pattern, was the only
lint-clean option.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize progress.md forensic audit onto the fragment model

Extract the --forensic-gated forensic_audit step to
workflows/progress/steps/forensic-audit.md behind a section marker, and
repair progress.md's init line to forward --forensic so the atom is
actually true in production rather than only under direct CLI tests.

progress.md shrinks 32630 -> 27207 bytes.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize the four manifest-wired workflows

new-project, quick, new-milestone and progress each already had a
dedicated cmdInit* entry point but zero marked sections. Extract nine
gated bodies to workflows/<wf>/steps/ behind section markers and repair
each init line to forward its flags.

Fold --full into the discuss/research/validate facts inside cmdInitQuick
so the when= grammar never sees an OR, per the chunked-mode precedent.

Fixes found while working, per the no-defer rule:
- cmdInitProgress passed no phase info to buildSectionManifestField, so
  state:phase-mvp-mode was permanently false — an atom in the vocabulary
  whose fact could never be computed.
- the quick init router folded flag tokens into the free-text
  description, which the new forwarding would have corrupted.
- a #2508 dispatch note was nested inside quick.md's Agent(prompt=)
  fence, leaking orchestrator guidance into the subagent prompt.
- progress.md had a 3-vs-4 backtick outer-fence imbalance.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize verify-work.md and admit state:ui-phase-active

Wire cmdInitVerifyWork to buildSectionManifestField — it was a dedicated
entry point that never emitted a manifest — and mark two sections.

state:ui-phase-active folds (plan:pre hooks include an active ui step) OR
(the phase dir holds a *-UI-SPEC.md) into one boolean in init.cts, so the
grammar still sees a single operator-free atom. The inner Playwright-MCP
check stays as prose inside the fragment: it is live session state and no
init seam can precompute it.

The MVP false-branch note is a real fallback, not redundant prose, so it
sits outside the marker — gating it away would delete the text needed
precisely when MVP mode is off.

* test(#2994): follow moved workflow content in drift guards

Retarget every guard that asserted on content this branch moved into
workflows/<wf>/steps/, mirroring 815b3d897. Each retargeted assertion was
verified to still fail when its step file is blanked, so none was
weakened into vacuity.

Three assertions in verify-mvp-uat were genuinely red. Three more were
worse than red — passing for the wrong reason:
- quick-commit-boundary and worktree-cleanup anchored on indexOf('Step
  5.6'), which matched a later cross-reference and sliced 16069 chars
  that coincidentally held the asserted substrings. Replaced with an
  expandWorkflowSections helper that splices step content back in place.
- phase6-review-capabilities lost its end boundary and widened to EOF.
- playwright-ui-verify matched 'UI' in an unrelated bullet and 'fall
  back' in a subagent-dispatch line after the real content moved.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize code-review and complete-milestone, admit three atoms

Add dedicated cmdInitCodeReview and cmdInitCompleteMilestone entry points
alongside the shared generic ones rather than modifying them — init.phase-op
and init.manager carry a CRITICAL blast radius (179 dependents, 24
processes) and stay byte-identical for their other callers.

Admit flag:--fix, state:fallow-enabled and state:git-create-tag, each with
a consuming section and a fact its own entry point computes.

Both sections had the resolver-in-body hazard: the fallow config-gate and
the git.create_tag check each sat inside the very block being gated, so
gating would have disabled the resolver that decides the gate. Both are
hoisted into init and the bodies now consume the resolved fact.

* test(#2994): retarget code-review and milestone drift guards, fix two red tests

Retarget guards that asserted on content moved into steps/, proving
non-vacuity by blanking each step file and confirming failure.

Also fixes two genuinely red tests found while working, per the no-defer
rule:
- workflow-fragments' frozen-vocabulary lock was missing
  state:ui-phase-active, so commit 7ef7f8336 shipped red. Lint and build
  both passed over it, which is why neither is sufficient verification.
- code-review's quick.md capability-hook assertion carried a stale
  delimiter after the 18ff35d20 extraction.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize autonomous.md and admit state:plan-strategy-converge

Five sections share one atom, the pattern plan-phase already uses for
flag:--research-phase. The atom folds --converge OR --cross-ai into a
single boolean in cmdInitAutonomous so the grammar stays operator-free.

cmdInitAutonomous is additive; init.milestone-op, init.manager and
init.phase-op are untouched and still consumed. The $PLAN_STRATEGY bash
resolver is deliberately retained — ungated local-planning bullets still
read it, so the init-side fact supplements it rather than replacing it.

converge-fail-fast required splitting one bash fence so the always-run
CONVERGENCE_ARGS construction stays outside the marker. All three
flag-absent fallbacks were left outside their markers.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore(#2994): fragmentize review and discuss-phase-assumptions

Admit state:reviewer-instances-configured (two peripheral notes share it;
the core reviewer-lane dispatch stays unmarked — it is the workflow's
primary always-evaluated logic, not an optional branch) and
state:auto-advance-active, which folds --auto OR two config keys into one
boolean so the grammar stays operator-free.

discuss-phase-assumptions was the highest-risk edit in this PR. Its
auto_advance step is a full if/elif/else; gating it whole would have
deleted the flag-absent fallback needed exactly when --auto is off. Split
verified exact: resolvers 636-651 and the 'End here' fallback 668-669 both
stay outside the marker; only 653-667 is gated.

Adds emitted-drift acks for the two files that grew — review.md (+55 B)
and autonomous.md (+737 B from 80799211c, which had none and would have
red-gated the push.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize docs-update, update, transition and new-milestone Part A

Completes the 13-workflow rollout. Three of these had no init call at all
and gained a dedicated entry point plus their first gsd_run query line.

Admits state:is-monorepo and adds state:next-channel, state:workstream-active
and state:flat-mode. Vocabulary 26 -> 30 atoms.

Part A of new-milestone applies when NO workstream is active — the negation
of state:workstream-active. Rather than teach the grammar negation, which is
the Greenspun drift the frozen list exists to prevent, it gets a separate
positively-phrased atom whose fact is the inverse. Part B, which always runs,
stays outside the marker.

flag:--verify-only is deliberately NOT admitted: docs-update has no
contiguous purely-additive region for it, and an atom without a consuming
section is dead vocabulary. Evidence recorded in the slice report.

update.md reuses its existing resolved $GSD_TOOLS rather than prepending the
canonical preamble, which would have clobbered it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#2994): stop automated-ui-verification re-resolving its own gate, retire dead vocabulary

Two defects the new tests caught.

The automated-ui-verification step re-ran gsd_run loop render-hooks and
recomputed UI_PHASE_ACTIVE inside a body that is only read when that fact
is already true — the circular self-disabling pattern this design forbids,
introduced by 3c654b168. cmdInitVerifyWork now exposes ui_phase_active and
the step consumes it. Its launcher preamble goes too: no gsd_run remains.
The Playwright-MCP check stays as prose — that is live session state.

Dead vocabulary predating this PR: flag:--full and state:needs-codebase-map
were admitted with a gate-1 claim that never materialized. flag:--full is
removed, redundant once quick folds it into discuss/research/validate.
state:needs-codebase-map gets the real consumer it always lacked, gating
new-project's codebase-map offer. Vocabulary 30 -> 29, and no atom is now
without a consuming section.

* test(#2994): add the atom-admission, inversion and resolver-hoist gates

The two existing parity guards prove vocabulary/predicate symmetry but
never that a fact is computed — an atom no cmdInit* assembles evaluates
false forever. These close that hole:

- per-atom satisfiability for all 29 atoms, plus an anti-vacuity assertion
  so the loop cannot silently cover zero atoms
- dead-vocabulary check against the shipped manifest
- inversion guard: the flag-absent fallbacks in discuss-phase-assumptions
  and verify-work must stay outside their markers
- data-driven resolver-hoist guard over the shipped manifest, so a future
  extraction cannot reintroduce the circular class
- compound-fold coverage (--full, --cross-ai, --rc, config-only --auto)
- null-vs-[] degraded/computed distinction, and flag value shapes

Also repairs the frozen-vocabulary lock, which was stale and red for the
seven atoms earlier commits on this branch shipped.

* fix(#2994): dedupe the phase-fallback block and harden --ws parsing

Review findings.

MAJOR: the three new init entry points each pasted a verbatim copy of the
guardedFindPhase/guardedGetRoadmapPhase fallback, taking the repo from four
copies to seven — DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX. Extracted applyRoadmapFallback and
folded six of the seven; each call site keeps its own field-set via a
closure. Duplication removed rather than papered over with a parity test.
cmdInitPhaseOp stays out: its fallback omits has_reviews, so it is not a
byte-identical copy, and it is CRITICAL-radius.

LOW, pre-existing: GSD_WS captured [^[:space:]]+ and expands unquoted, so a
workstream name holding glob metacharacters would expand against the
filesystem. Narrowed to [A-Za-z0-9._-]+. The unquoted expansion is kept —
it must word-split into two args and vanish when empty.

Also restores the vocabulary ordering convention, and fixes a masked test
bug the mandated run surfaced: the flag-forwarding guard checked only the
first init line per workflow, but new-milestone has two, so a real failure
was reporting exit 0.

* fix(#2994): drop the stale new-milestone emitted-drift ack

new-milestone.md was acked for a +406 B growth measured against an
intermediate commit. Net against origin/next it SHRANK by 8 bytes, so
nothing needed the ack and it explained nothing — which the differential
attribution check reports as a stale acknowledgment, not a pass.

update.md's entry stays: it genuinely grew +703 B.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#2994): resolve the 15 failures from the full matrix run

All 15 were real and identical on both lanes.

REAL REGRESSION: autonomous.md hit 41479 chars against the #2196 guard's
40960 cap — a CHARS cap distinct from the LARGE tier byte cap, which the
five section stubs pushed it over. Extracted the 3a.5 UI Design Contract
body to references/; now 39968 chars, and the file nets -795 B vs base, so
its growth ack is deleted rather than left stale.

REAL DEFECT: docs referenced /gsd-transition, which is not a live
registered command. Reworded.

STALE FIXTURE: the emission byte-identity test hardcoded two marked
workflows; this branch legitimately marks fifteen. Fixture corrected — the
source was right.

The rest were drift guards over the eight workflows the earlier sweep did
not cover, retargeted at where the content now lives with non-vacuity
proven by blanking each step file and confirming failure. The GSD_WS
forwarding guard was checked as a possible real break and is not one: the
charclass narrowing is intact and forwarding works end to end.

* fix(#2994): drop the ack for a newly-added reference file

A new file's emitted ripple is attributable to the diff that adds it, so
the acknowledgment explained nothing and the differential check reports it
as stale. Removing the last entry removes the fragment — an empty one
signals nothing.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#2994): retarget the UI-contract guards and clear two transitive advisories

The §3a.5 extraction that brought autonomous.md under the #2196 char cap
moved its body to references/autonomous-ui-design-contract.md, so ten
guards in autonomous-ui-steps and check-ui-safety-gate were asserting it
against the host. Retargeted via a combined read, each proven non-vacuous
by blanking the reference file and confirming failure.

This class had already bitten twice on this branch because each sweep was
scoped to the workflows touched at that moment, so this one was
exhaustive: ~70 test files across all 13 workflows, zero further broken or
vacuous assertions found.

Also clears two high transitive advisories the matrix flagged on one lane
— fast-uri GHSA-7p8r-x3mc-p8w7 and three ip-address SSRF/trust-boundary
issues. Both pre-date this branch: package-lock.json was untouched until
now, so the production tree was byte-identical to the base. Lockfile-only,
package.json unchanged, verified against a real npm ci install.

067a4d1c6c fix(#2650): bound and auto-recover plan-phase planner/plan-checker stalls (#3015)
* test(#2650): add failing-first regression for plan-phase stall detection

Regression test for gsd_stall_should_recover / gsd_stall_watch and the
planner.stall_* config keys, none of which exist yet — proves RED before
the fix lands in the next commit.

* fix(#2650): bound and auto-recover plan-phase planner/plan-checker stalls

Mirrors the already-shipped executor.stall_* pattern (execute-phase.md, bug
#3212) but with a dispatch change the executor's prose-only surveillance
lacks: the standard planner spawn, chunked-outline planner spawn,
chunked-per-plan planner spawn, plan-checker spawn, and revision-loop
planner respawn now dispatch with run_in_background=true and are followed
by a real, bounded bash poll (gsd_stall_watch) that returns control to the
orchestrator on its own schedule instead of waiting indefinitely on a
subagent that may never return. On stall, the existing accept-plans/retry/
stop recovery menu (9a/11a) is auto-surfaced instead of requiring a manual
interrupt.

New config keys planner.stall_detect_interval_minutes (default 5) /
planner.stall_threshold_minutes (default 10) mirror executor.stall_*.

The helper functions (gsd_stall_should_recover, gsd_stall_watch) live in a
new lazily-loaded gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/stall-detection-
helpers.md rather than inline, and per-site prose is kept minimal, because
plan-phase.md is frozen under the ADR-857 Phase 6 PRE_PHASE6 gate
(tests/phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs) with ~36 bytes of headroom at
baseline; the net effect is plan-phase.md.md ships slightly SMALLER than
before (the old unconditional-wait ORCHESTRATOR RULE sentences are gone at
the five touched sites, superseded by the bounded watcher).

Also fixes a stale doc comment in tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs that
still described the per-file workflow-size-baseline.json guard removed by
#2724 (ADR-2719 Phase 4) as if it were still the enforcement mechanism —
discovered while verifying this fix's own byte budget.

Researcher and pattern-mapper spawns are untouched (out of scope per the
issue's Agent Brief).

* fix(#2650): make gsd_stall_watch single-cycle; harden numeric config inputs

Two review findings addressed on top of the prior commit:

1. gsd_stall_watch previously looped internally for the full
   threshold+interval duration inside ONE Bash tool call (up to 15 min at
   defaults) — a single call blocking that long risks the host tool's own
   timeout killing it before it ever prints a result, silently defeating the
   fix. Redesigned to a single sleep-and-check cycle per call, taking an
   explicit dispatch_ts so the orchestrator prose can repeat the (short,
   default 5 min) call until it resolves; the outer threshold is now
   enforced by dispatch_ts accumulating across calls, not by one call's
   duration. Documented the resulting trade-off (up to one interval of
   added latency on the success path) in the changeset and reference doc.

2. PLANNER_STALL_INTERVAL_MINUTES/THRESHOLD_MINUTES are config-controlled
   values that flow into bash arithmetic ($(( ))). A review flagged this as
   command injection; empirically verified against both macOS bash 3.2.57
   and Docker bash:5 that this is NOT actually exploitable (bash hard-errors
   on a `$(cmd)`-shaped arithmetic operand rather than invoking it) — but an
   unvalidated malformed value WOULD abort the stall-watcher itself with
   that bash error, silently defeating the exact hang-recovery this issue
   ships. Added integer validation with safe-default fallback, both at the
   config-resolution point and defensively inside gsd_stall_should_recover.

Also adds the previously-missing integration coverage for gsd_stall_watch's
real execution (grep/find/date plumbing), not just the pure classifier.

* fix(#2650): correct AC2 self-test — helpers doc may name teams-status in prose

The AC2 regression test asserted the stall-detection-helpers.md step file
never contains the substring "teams-status" at all, but the file's own
prose explicitly documents its independence from that guard (containing
the word by design). Narrowed the assertion to what actually matters: no
second `query teams-status` call site and no gating on it, not a blanket
absence of the word.

* test(#2650): regenerate golden install-tree fixtures for the new step file

gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/stall-detection-helpers.md is an
emitted file (installed for every runtime), so adding it changes the
install tree even though it is invisible to docs/INVENTORY.md and
docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json (both explicitly scope to non-recursive
gsd-core/workflows/*.md — verified against the execute-phase #2930 and
pre-existing plan-phase step-file precedent, which are equally absent from
both inventory artifacts). The golden install tree snapshots the sorted
list of emitted relative paths per runtime, so a file invisible to the
inventory is still visible here. Regenerated via `npm run gen:install-tree`
— one line added per runtime fixture (19 files), no other drift.

* fix(#2650): restore 7 ORCHESTRATOR RULE labels; sync runtime-launcher preamble

Two more consequences of extracting helper bodies out of plan-phase.md,
both caught by verification (0017e1a78, 9 unique failures):

1. tests/plan-phase-drift-guard.test.cjs (#913) requires at least 7
   "ORCHESTRATOR RULE — ALL RUNTIMES" labels in plan-phase.md itself, one
   per agent spawn site. Moving the full explanatory blocks to
   plan-phase/steps/stall-detection-helpers.md carried 5 of the 7 labels
   out with them (only the untouched researcher/pattern-mapper sites kept
   theirs). Restored a short label at each of the 5 stall-watch sites,
   trimmed a few more redundant words ("Per 7.99, " — already established
   by the adjacent step-7.99 pointer) to stay under the frozen
   PRE_PHASE6 cap (94497 bytes, 21 bytes headroom).

2. tests/runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs (#373) requires exactly one
   canonical gsd_run preamble, byte-equal to
   gsd-core/workflows/_runtime-launcher.snippet.sh, before the first
   gsd_run call in any workflow .md that calls it (recursive scan under
   gsd-core/workflows/, unlike the non-recursive inventory/step-tag-balance
   checks). The new step file's config-get calls use gsd_run without one.
   Fixed via `node scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs`, verified: exactly 1
   preamble occurrence, before the first call, including the .claude/ and
   .codex/ home fallback arms.

Also verified (no fix needed, evidence recorded): the generic
`gsd-core-verbatim` identity rule in tests/helpers/emitted-provenance.cjs
(roots: ['gsd-core'], pattern matching workflows/.+) self-attributes any
new gsd-core/workflows/** path to itself, so the new step file needs no
drift-ack entry — consistent with plan-phase.md's own net shrinkage
requiring none either.

* test(#2650): acknowledge plan-phase.md's +14 byte drift

Restoring the 5 ORCHESTRATOR RULE — ALL RUNTIMES labels (#913) flipped
plan-phase.md from -142 bytes (post-extraction) to +14 bytes net growth
against baseline (94483 -> 94497), which the differential attribution
size ratchet (tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs) correctly flags as
unacknowledged growth. Added tests/emitted-drift-acks/2650-plan-phase-
stall-detection.json, keyed on the bare filename plan-phase.md per the
existing fragment schema (see tests/emitted-drift-acks/2649-diagnose-
execute-plan-base-check.json), explaining the growth as exactly the 5
restored labels — still verified under the PRE_PHASE6 cap (94497 < 94519)
and satisfying #913's 7-label requirement.

* fix(#2650): bind {outputFile} from the real Agent() return — was dead code

Independent review blocker: PLANNER_OUTPUT_FILE/CHECKER_OUTPUT_FILE were
read by every gsd_stall_watch call but never assigned anywhere in the
diff. With the variable permanently empty, `[ -f "$output_file" ]` was
always false, marker_found could never become true, and marker_received
was unreachable — the marker-based detection path was permanently dead.

Worse for the plan-checker spawn specifically: a checker that PASSES
touches no *-PLAN.md files, so it had no working completion signal at
all without the marker path. A healthy plan-checker finishing cleanly in
two minutes would be declared stalled once planner.stall_threshold_minutes
elapsed and the recovery menu would fire on an already-succeeded agent —
worse than the original unbounded hang.

Fixed by replacing the dead bash variable with the `{outputFile}`
orchestrator-substitution token, the same convention docs-update.md:471
already uses for a real run_in_background=true Agent() return ("Read
tool: file_path: `{outputFile from README agent result}`"). This is a
net BYTE SAVING at each site (`"{outputFile}"` is shorter than
`"$PLANNER_OUTPUT_FILE"`), which funded moving the full binding
explanation — including why plan-checker's *-PLAN.md glob alone is not
a working completion signal — into the lazily-loaded reference file to
stay under the frozen PRE_PHASE6 cap (94496 bytes, 22 headroom; net +13
over baseline, acknowledged in tests/emitted-drift-acks/2650-plan-phase-
stall-detection.json).

Added a regression test asserting plan-phase.md itself binds {outputFile}
at all 5 spawn sites and contains no dangling $PLANNER_OUTPUT_FILE /
$CHECKER_OUTPUT_FILE reference — the previous test suite only exercised
gsd_stall_watch's behavior when handed a valid argument, which is why
the dead production wiring survived two rounds of review. Also fixed
tests/fix-2650-plan-phase-stall-detection.test.cjs:170-195's raw
try/finally to use t.after(), per CONTRIBUTING's test-cleanup convention.

* chore(#2650): backfill changeset PR number to 3015

* fix: normalize CRLF at the read boundary in all .md-bash-extraction tests

Maintainer-authorized scope expansion, folded into this PR rather than
deferred: the Windows CI lane on this PR's own tests/fix-2650-plan-phase-
stall-detection.test.cjs exposed DEFECT.TEST-SHELL-PIPELINE-NONPORTABLE
(CONTEXT.md; recurring since #1700) as a repo-wide latent class, not a
one-off. Ten test files parse a fenced ```bash block out of a workflow
.md file and execute it via spawnSync/execFileSync; a Windows checkout
can yield CRLF line endings despite .gitattributes eol=lf, and bash then
treats the trailing \r on every extracted line as part of the token —
"unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'" or a bare syntax error,
partway through the script.

Added tests/helpers.cjs:readFileNormalized() — strips \r\n -> \n at the
read boundary, before any fence-slicing or regex runs, so every
downstream operation is correct by construction. Migrated all ten call
sites to it:

Previously broken (fs.readFileSync with no normalization anywhere
between read and spawn):
- tests/worktree-cleanup.test.cjs (extractCwdGuardBash) — also fixes a
  misleading comment claiming the fence regex alone was "CRLF-safe"; it
  protected only the fence delimiters, never the captured body.
- tests/new-milestone-clear-phases.test.cjs (extractFenceBetween,
  extractFenceContaining)
- tests/code-review-pipeline-regression.test.cjs (extractPostProcessingScript)
- tests/drift-detection.test.cjs (readGate/bashBlock, plus the snippet-file
  comparison read in the same test)
- tests/graphify-visualization.test.cjs (extractStep3Block)
- tests/pause-work-improvements.test.cjs (extractCheckBlock)
- tests/plan-review-convergence.test.cjs (extractReviewerFlagsParseBlock
  and the inline post-config-gate resolution-block slices)

Already correct (split(/\r?\n/) then join('\n')), migrated to the shared
helper for consistency rather than a fourth/fifth/sixth copy of the same
fix:
- tests/git-base-branch.test.cjs (extractHandleBranchingBash)
- tests/quick-branching.test.cjs (extractStep25Bash)
- tests/runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs (extractResolverSnippet)

Verified against a simulated Windows CRLF checkout (not assumed): for
both the worktree-cleanup.test.cjs and new-milestone-clear-phases.test.cjs
extraction shapes, confirmed the pre-fix code produces a real bash syntax
error on CRLF input and the post-fix code does not.

One eslint follow-up: local/no-crlf-fragile-split statically flags any
bare `\n` inside a markdown-fence-shaped regex, regardless of whether the
receiver was already normalized — it cannot see the readFileNormalized()
data-flow. Kept `\r?\n` in extractCwdGuardBash's fence regex (redundant
but harmless on pre-normalized input) rather than fight the rule.

Scope note: this diff is broader than issue #2650's own change (plan-
phase.md stall detection) because the Windows lane surfaced a genuine
repo-wide defect class while verifying that fix, and the maintainer
authorized fixing it here rather than filing it separately and shipping
a known-broken pattern.

Runtime impact: none — this is a test-harness-only defect. The live
orchestrator (Claude Code or another runtime) does not do a byte-exact
extract-and-pipe of .md content into a shell the way these tests do; it
reads the instructions and generates its own bash invocation text, which
does not reproduce a raw CRLF pass-through the same way.

Not touched: tests/plan-review-convergence.test.cjs's separate, tracked
spawnSync ETIMEDOUT flake under bench load (#3005, reproduced on
unmodified next) — unrelated load-sensitivity, not a CRLF symptom.

* fix(#2650): remove stale drift-ack fragment — plan-phase.md is self-explaining

tests/emitted-drift-acks/2650-plan-phase-stall-detection.json acknowledged
plan-phase.md's own emitted-path hash move, but plan-phase.md is directly
edited in this diff. Per the emitted-attribution law (ADR-2719,
tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs), a workflow's emitted key equals its
own source path (gsd-core-verbatim identity rule), so a direct edit to the
source is self-explaining and auto-attributed — no ack was ever needed.

Verified via the pre-merge lint (scripts/lint-emitted-drift-ack.cjs, run
through npm run lint:ci with a fully cleared eslint cache): it passes clean
with the fragment removed, confirming no contradiction between the lint and
the runtime attribution gate — this was simply an unnecessary fragment.

* fix(#2650): restore plan-phase.md drift-ack — size ratchet demands it against next

tests/emitted-drift-acks/2650-plan-phase-stall-detection.json was deleted in
the previous commit because, against an earlier verification base, it was
inert: it explained a moved emitted hash that a direct edit to plan-phase.md
already self-attributes. Against origin/next@f1af47766a the demand is
different: plan-phase.md is 13 bytes larger than the base copy, which trips
the emitted-attribution size ratchet — a job this same ack also performs.

Recreated in the documented shape, keyed on the bare filename plan-phase.md
(not the full path, and not restating the byte delta per review guidance),
describing the actual change: the {outputFile} binding fix for the dead
PLANNER_OUTPUT_FILE/CHECKER_OUTPUT_FILE variables and the 5 restored
ORCHESTRATOR RULE labels required by #913, both at the stall-watch spawn
sites, with explanatory bodies living in the lazily-loaded
gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/stall-detection-helpers.md reference.

Confirmed no other fragment (on this branch or on next) claims the bare key
"plan-phase.md" before recreating — scripts/lint-emitted-drift-ack.cjs's
duplicate check is an exact string match, and the only other mention of
plan-phase.md in tests/emitted-drift-acks/ (2658-trae-instruction-file-path.json)
uses the full path as its key, so there is no collision.

* fix(#2650): real cause of Windows CI failure — bash -c argv-transport, not CRLF

The CRLF diagnosis for PR #3015's Windows failure was wrong. Proven wrong,
not assumed: .gitattributes' blanket `* text=auto eol=lf` means a Windows
checkout never receives CRLF for stall-detection-helpers.md, and the
extracted fence's line 64 is byte-identical and correctly balanced on every
platform. The real cause: runShouldRecover() passed a 70+ line, quote-dense
script as ONE argv element to `spawnSync('bash', ['-c', script, arg0, ...])`
PLUS four more positional args. Windows has no execve — Node serializes
that whole argv into a single CreateProcess command-line string, and Git
Bash's MSYS layer re-splits and unescapes it with its own rules. The
boundary between the script and the trailing args was not stable across
that round trip (live evidence: one failure's stderr was prefixed
`gsd_stall_should_recover_test:` — arg0 arrived — another `/usr/bin/bash:`
— arg0 did not).

Fixed by writing the script to a temp file and running `bash <file> <args>`
instead — the four values are now normal, quote-free positional args, and
the script itself never enters argv transport at all. Mirrors
tests/quick-branching.test.cjs's extractStep25Bash/runStep, which already
uses this exact shape and is green on Windows on `next`.
tests/worktree-cleanup.test.cjs's extractCwdGuardBash/runGuard stays on
`bash -c` but never appends extra positional args beyond the script itself,
so it never hits the same boundary — checked both siblings per review, not
assumed.

Corrected the now-actively-misleading CRLF comment in
extractStallHelpersBash(), and corrected the changeset's claim that the
repo-wide CRLF-normalization fix (folded into this branch, maintainer-
authorized) explains this PR's own Windows failure — it doesn't, though it
remains defensible on its own merits as general test-portability hardening.

Separately, while auditing the shipped (non-test) gsd_stall_watch for
Windows portability per review request, found and fixed a second, real
user-facing defect: the artifact-freshness check used GNU find's
`-newermt "@<epoch>"` shorthand, which the BSD find(1) actually shipped on
macOS does NOT understand ("Can't parse date/time: @<epoch>", verified live
against /usr/bin/find on both a stale and a genuinely fresh file). With the
adjacent `2>/dev/null`, that failed silently and permanently degraded
artifact_fresh to false on every macOS run — a plan-checker or planner
actively writing plan files could still be reported "stalled." Replaced
with `find $glob -mmin -N` ("modified less than N minutes ago"), which
needs no date-string parsing and is supported identically by GNU find and
BSD find; verified live that the old shape fails and the new shape passes
against the same real fresh file. Added a real-execution regression test
(gsd_stall_watch with `sleep` stubbed to a no-op so the test doesn't
actually wait, but the real `find ... -mmin` line still runs) proving the
fix, replacing the prior "not integration-tested" note for that path.

Note: the remote gsd-test runner is Linux-only, so it cannot itself confirm
the Windows fix — only the actual windows-latest CI lane can.

* fix(#2650): route the third bash -c call site through the same temp-file seam

runWatch() and a `-mmin` regression test still passed their script via
`bash -c <script>` after the previous commit only converted
runShouldRecover() — live Windows CI on 4b86cc57f confirmed the mechanism:
failures went 11 -> 4, and `full test (windows-latest, 22, shard 1/3)` and
`shard 2/3` flipped from fail to pass, but the remaining 4 failures (all in
this file, all still `bash: -c:`) were exactly the gsd_stall_watch describe
block, which runWatch() serves. runWatch() passes NO extra positional args
at all, so this also rules out the trailing-args theory from the prior
commit: the ~73-line, quote-dense script itself is what does not survive
Windows argv serialization when passed as a single `-c` element, regardless
of how many (if any) further argv elements follow it.

Extracted one shared runBashScript(script, args, opts) helper — write to a
fs.mkdtempSync'd file, run `bash <file> [args...]`, clean up in `finally` —
and routed all three bash-invoking call sites in this file through it
(runShouldRecover, runWatch, and the -mmin freshness test that builds its
own script inline for the `sleep` stub). One transport seam means a fourth
call site in this file cannot silently reintroduce the bug in isolation,
which is exactly what happened here with a second call site.

Corrected extractStallHelpersBash()'s doc comment a second time to state
the mechanism precisely (script content, not argv-element count) and cite
the live evidence (11->4 failures, shards 1 and 2 flipping green) so the
next reader does not have to rediscover it.

Audited every other bash-invoking call site in files this branch touches,
per review request:
- tests/code-review-pipeline-regression.test.cjs (runPostProcessing),
  tests/graphify-visualization.test.cjs (runBlock), and
  tests/drift-detection.test.cjs (two execFileSync('bash', ['-c', ...])
  sites, one of them carrying the same giant runtime-launcher preamble
  text) — all pre-existing, UNCHANGED by this branch (only touched for the
  readFileNormalized() CRLF swap), and already exercised on `next`'s last
  six Windows CI runs per the reviewer's own citation. Left as-is: no
  evidence of failure, and converting untested pre-existing code outside
  #2650's scope on an unverifiable guess would be its own risk.
- tests/git-base-branch.test.cjs (runHandleBranchingStep) and
  tests/quick-branching.test.cjs (runStep) already use the same temp-file
  pattern. No action needed.
- tests/runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs (runResolver) uses `bash -c` but
  is explicitly `if (process.platform === 'win32') return '';` guarded off
  on Windows entirely, for an unrelated extension-less-PATH-stub reason —
  never reaches Windows argv transport at all. No action needed.
- tests/worktree-cleanup.test.cjs (runGuard) confirmed by the reviewer as
  correct and verified; not touched, per instruction.

Do not touch: the -mmin fix, the drift-ack fragment, the changeset — all
three confirmed correct in prior rounds and left untouched here.

Note: the remote gsd-test runner is Linux-only and cannot confirm this;
only the windows-latest lanes on #3015 can.

* fix(#2650): give runBashScript a default timeout

runShouldRecover() was the only one of the three call sites through
runBashScript() with no timeout — runWatch() and the -mmin test both pass
timeout: 10000 explicitly. Not a regression (this path never had a bound
before), but CONTEXT.md's unbounded-subprocess guidance applies directly,
and runShouldRecover() is driven repeatedly by a fast-check property test:
one pathological input that fails to terminate would hang CI indefinitely
instead of failing.

timeout: 10000 is now the helper's own default, with ...opts spread after
it so the two existing explicit timeout: 10000 call sites are unchanged
and any future caller inherits a bound automatically.

* fix(#2650): build the -mmin freshness test's glob with forward slashes

Windows CI on d6ddda6ea reported the last failure: the -mmin regression
test expected 'active' but got 'waiting' — find matched nothing, the same
silent-degradation shape as the macOS -newermt defect, but this time in the
test's own fixture rather than the shipped bash.

Traced what production actually passes: every gsd_stall_watch call site in
plan-phase.md builds artifact_glob as `"${PHASE_DIR}"'/*-PLAN.md'` —
PHASE_DIR is a POSIX-style .planning/phases/NN-slug value, and the whole
thing runs under Git Bash regardless of host OS, so production's glob is
always forward-slash. The test instead built it with
`path.join(tmp, '*-PLAN.md')`, which on Windows yields a backslash path
(C:\Users\RUNNER~1\...\*-PLAN.md). In bash pathname expansion a backslash
escapes the next character, so that pattern can never match a real path —
find silently returns empty under the existing 2>/dev/null, same shape as
the macOS bug. Confirmed as a test artifact, not a production defect:
production never constructs the glob this way, so no Windows user is
affected.

Fixed by forward-slashing the tmp dir before appending the glob suffix,
matching production's own convention, with a comment recording why (so a
future "simplify this back to path.join" edit doesn't silently reintroduce
the failure). The shipped bash's unquoted $artifact_glob is untouched —
quoting it would break the multi-file glob expansion it exists for.

Note: the remote runner is Linux-only and already passed clean at
d6ddda6ea (0/29,603, both node lanes); only the windows-latest lanes on
#3015 can confirm this fix.

* fix(#2650): forward-slash the three remaining runWatch globs (vacuous-pass CR)

The :353 fix (833c11da9) only converted the -mmin freshness test's glob.
Three sibling tests in the same describe block still built theirs with
path.join(tmp, '*-PLAN.md'), which yields a backslash path on Windows.

Two of those three were silently passing for the wrong reason: the
'-> stalled' and '-> waiting' tests both expect the glob to match nothing,
and on Windows a backslash path matches nothing regardless of whether the
directory is actually empty (bash eats each backslash as an escape before
the pattern is even evaluated). They would have passed identically with
glob expansion completely broken, which is a vacuous pass — not exercising
what they claim to. The third ('-> marker_received') is outcome-independent
of the glob, so it was merely inconsistent rather than wrong.

Converted all three to the same `${tmp.replace(/\\/g, '/')}/*-PLAN.md`
construction already used at the -mmin test, so every glob in the file now
matches production's own forward-slash `"${PHASE_DIR}"'/*-PLAN.md'` shape,
and the two negative tests are meaningful on Windows instead of accidentally
correct. Reworded the trailing comment on the 'stalled' test's glob line:
it now describes the fixture (the tmp dir contains no *-PLAN.md files)
rather than the pattern, since "matches nothing" read as a property of the
glob syntax when it's a property of what's on disk.

No assertion, the sleep stub, runBashScript, or the shipped bash changed.
Smoke-tested all three updated tests manually before committing (not via
node --test): marker_received / stalled / waiting, all correct.

* fix(#2650): fix own regression tests for #2993's plan-phase.md relocation

531101843's merge with origin/next brought in #2993 (unrelated, epic #1671
Phase 6.2), which extracted plan-phase.md's whole "Chunked Planning Mode"
section into gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/chunked-planning-mode.md,
leaving a <!-- gsd:section --> pointer behind. tests/plan-phase-drift-guard.
test.cjs (#913) was already updated to read the combined surface (host file
+ every steps/*.md) so its label count didn't go blind — my own #2650
regression tests were not, and searched plan-phase.md alone for the two
chunked spawn sites' headings, which no longer exist there. Two tests
failed outright (indexOf returning -1); a third ("standard planner spawn")
was silently weakened to an unbounded slice-to-EOF by the same relocation,
since its own end-boundary heading also moved — passing by accident rather
than by testing what it claimed.

Promoted the drift guard's local readPlanPhaseCombined() to a shared,
exported tests/helpers.cjs readWorkflowCombined(workflowPath) (host file +
sorted steps/*.md, CRLF-normalized at the read boundary) so a second,
divergent implementation is never written — the drift guard now delegates
to it via a same-named local wrapper, unchanged at every existing call site.

Fixed the three affected tests in tests/fix-2650-plan-phase-stall-detection.
test.cjs:
- "standard planner spawn (step 8)": end boundary changed from the now-gone
  "## 8.5. Chunked Planning Mode" heading to "## 9. Handle Planner Return",
  which still exists in plan-phase.md.
- "chunked outline spawn (8.5.1)" / "chunked per-plan spawn (8.5.2)": now
  read gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/chunked-planning-mode.md
  directly (not the generic multi-file combined blob, whose file-sort
  ordering would put unrelated step files between 8.5.2's slice and any
  downstream anchor) — the same heading-to-heading slicing as before still
  works because the file is small and self-contained.
- Extended the "no unbound $PLANNER_OUTPUT_FILE/$CHECKER_OUTPUT_FILE" check
  to also scan chunked-planning-mode.md, since two of the five spawn sites
  now live there.
- Added a new count-based test asserting exactly 5 (not "at least one")
  `gsd_stall_watch "$TS" "{outputFile}"` invocations across the combined
  surface, mirroring #913's own label-count guard, so every one of the five
  spawns stays provably bounded and a future relocation can't silently drop
  one without a test noticing.

Also added a small positive test that plan-phase.md's <!-- gsd:section -->
pointer to chunked-planning-mode.md exists (#2993 is unrelated to #2650 but
its presence is now load-bearing for where 2 of the 5 spawn sites live).

Audited every other test file in the repo for a stale reference to content
#2993 relocated (searched for the moved headings/prose and for
"chunked-planning-mode"/"CHUNKED_MODE" across all *.test.cjs): only this
file and the drift guard needed changes.
tests/issue-2762-plan-reviews-chunked.test.cjs already reads
chunked-planning-mode.md directly (brought in correct by the same merge).
gen-section-manifest.test.cjs, init.test.cjs, and workflow-fragments.test.cjs
reference "chunked-planning-mode" only as a manifest/section-id fixture
value for #2993 itself, not as a stale pointer to relocated content.

Did not touch: the ported ORCHESTRATOR RULE lines, run_in_background=true,
the glob constructions, runBashScript, the -mmin change, the timeout
default, or the drift-ack fragment (confirmed correct against the stale
local `next` ref two rounds ago and left alone).

ad3b9ec486 chore(#1671): fragmentize plan-phase.md and repair flag forwarding to the init bundle — Phase 6.2 (#3019)
* chore(#2993): fragmentize plan-phase.md onto the fragment model

Epic #1671 Phase 6.2. plan-phase.md is the largest workflow in the repo and
carried zero markers; it was deferred out of the Phase 3 pilot for two
reasons, both now dead. The 36-byte PRE_PHASE6 headroom was never the
blocker it looked like — fragmentizing is net-negative on host source, so
the trim is what creates the room. The --mvp interleaving was resolved by
measurement in #2992 and no sub-line mechanism is built.

- widen WHEN_VOCABULARY 14 -> 19 via a second coordinated ADR-1671
  amendment: flag:--ingest, flag:--prd, flag:--research-phase,
  flag:--reviews, state:chunked-mode
- state:chunked-mode is `--chunked` OR config workflow.plan_chunked, and
  that disjunction is resolved in the FACT, never in the grammar, so a
  compound condition never becomes an operator
- parse the new flags on the plan-phase route; extract six gated bodies to
  gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/ behind manifest-gated stubs
- prd-express-path.md was already extracted but read unconditionally; its
  wrapper is now gated, so the existing extraction finally pays off

plan-phase.md 94,483 -> 87,575 bytes (cap 94,519): headroom goes from 36
bytes to 6,944.

Also closes a surfaced docs gap: five real plan-phase flags (--chunked,
--skip-ui, --bounce, --skip-bounce, --granularity) were documented in
neither the argument-hint nor help. Making --chunked load-bearing without
fixing its siblings would leave the defect class half-open.

Refs #2993

* fix(#2993): forward flags to the init bundle so section gating actually fires

Blocker found by the correctness review, confirmed directly, and missed by
both the isolated reviewer and every test in this branch.

Neither workflow forwarded its flags to the init CLI:

  plan-phase.md:71    INIT=$(gsd_run query init.plan-phase "$PHASE" $GRAN_PARAM)
  execute-phase.md:84 INIT=$(gsd_run query init.execute-phase "${PHASE_ARG}")

So every flag: atom was permanently false in production and its section
permanently excluded. For plan-phase that made the PRD express path
UNREACHABLE — a regression, since it was an unconditional read before.
For execute-phase this is PRE-EXISTING: #2932 shipped `flag:--wave` gating
that has never once been true, so `--wave` silently dropped its own
wave-filtering guidance. Fixed here under the no-defer rule.

Why every test missed it: they drive the init CLI directly with flags,
which works. Production goes through the workflow's bash line, which did
not pass them — the exact "assert against the shape production uses" trap
this branch's own test matrix warns about.

- parse and forward --prd/--ingest/--research-phase/--reviews/--chunked
  (plan-phase) and --wave (execute-phase), using the anchored regex idiom
  the neighbouring GRAN_PARAM line already uses
- add a regression guard DERIVED FROM THE MANIFEST: for every flag:--X
  section, the owning workflow's init line must forward --X. It fails
  against the pre-fix files and covers any future atom, rather than
  spot-checking today's six.

Verified through the workflow shape, not the CLI shape: `3 --prd spec.md`
now yields ["prd-express-gate"] (was []), `2 --wave 2` yields
["partial-wave"] (was []).

Refs #2993

* test(#2993): acknowledge the execute-phase ripple and regenerate install-tree fixtures

Remote matrix was red with 46 unique failures, identical on both lanes.
Both causes are mechanical consequences of changing shipped workflow
content, and neither is visible to any local gate.

- emitted-attribution: execute-phase.md grew 163 bytes from the WAVE_PARAM
  forwarding fix and was unacknowledged, while the ack fragment named
  plan-phase.md, which SHRANK and therefore needed no ack at all — a stale
  entry is itself a failure. The reason now names the real ripple.
  The entry had to merge into the existing 2930 fragment: the ack linter
  does unconditional cross-fragment duplicate-key detection with no
  spent/live exception, so a second fragment declaring execute-phase.md
  collides even when the first is already merged and inert. Resolved per
  the linter's own guidance and that file's precedent of appending
  successive ripple reasons to one entry.
- golden-install-tree: tests/fixtures/install-tree/*.json are committed and
  deliberately excluded from the ADR-2719 attribution cutover, so they must
  be regenerated when shipped tree content changes. Regenerated after
  build:lib per the ordering landmine. 19 runtimes each gained exactly the
  six new plan-phase step files; zero paths removed, which is the absolute
  failure shape those fixtures exist to catch.

Refs #2993

* fix(#2993): restore the launcher preamble in an extracted step and follow moved content in its drift guards

Second red run: 26 unique failures, identical on both lanes, in two classes.

RUNTIME BUG (runtime-launcher-parity, 7 failures) — chunked-planning-mode.md
calls gsd_run but carried no canonical launcher preamble, which is what
DEFINES gsd_run(). On any non-Claude runtime that step would fail outright.
The preamble is now copied verbatim from the canonical source of truth,
gsd-core/workflows/_runtime-launcher.snippet.sh, and the fence dedented to
column 0 to match the prd-express-path.md sibling (a list-continuation
indent breaks the byte-equal preamble match). prd-express-path.md already
had a correct one. This is the same defect #2932 hit when it extracted
steps; the parity test caught a real bug, not a stale assertion.

DRIFT GUARDS (plan-phase-drift-guard, issue-2762-plan-reviews-chunked,
skill-frontmatter-contract) — these assert plan-phase.md contains content
this branch moved into step files. Retargeted at where the content now
lives, with the asserted property unchanged; the ALL-RUNTIMES label COUNT
test now reads host + every step file so the count is preserved across the
split rather than reduced. Each retargeted guard was verified to still fail
when its step file is stripped, so none was weakened into vacuity.

No emitted-drift ack was needed: currentSizes() enumerates
gsd-core/workflows/*.md non-recursively, so files under
plan-phase/steps/ are never in the size ratchet's scope.

f1af47766a chore(#1671): widen the when= grammar and key the section manifest per workflow — Phase 6.1 (#3013)
* chore(#2992): widen the when= grammar and key the section manifest per workflow

Epic #1671 Phase 6.1. Two blockers stopped the fragment model reaching any
file beyond execute-phase.md: the when= vocabulary was frozen at 4 atoms
(3 execute-phase-specific), and the section manifest was single-workflow by
construction with 'execute-phase' hardcoded into buildSectionManifestField.

- widen WHEN_VOCABULARY 4 -> 14 via a coordinated ADR-1671 amendment; the
  grammar stays CLOSED (one atom, no operators, negation or nesting) and
  WHEN_PREDICATES stays a hand-written literal map, never deriving a
  predicate from its atom string
- InvocationFacts gains flags: ReadonlySet<string> plus three computed state
  booleans; add the missing reverse vocabulary/predicate parity guard
- key the manifest artifact per workflow; a stale flat {sections:[...]}
  artifact now fails shape validation instead of being misattributed
- wire the field into six init entry points and parse the flags each needs

An atom ships only with both a real consuming section and a fact the init
seam actually computes. Six surveyed atoms are withheld because their
workflows have no dedicated init entry point; an atom without a computed
fact evaluates false forever and silently disables its own section.

Fixes a defect found while wiring: parseNamedArgs always materializes a
boolean flag key, so folding its false into the absent sentinel is required
or every flag reads as present and gating is silently always-on.

Also resolves ADR-1671:194 by measurement: --mvp stays unmarkable, because
its interleaved sites are always-run flag resolution and a ~340 byte block
that already delegates lazily.

Refs #2992

* fix(#2992): treat any falsy option value as an absent flag and reject unsafe manifest read paths

Findings from two orthogonal reviews (Claude /code-review + an isolated
adversarial pass); both independently reproduced the first one.

- MAJOR: the flags-builder treated only `undefined` as absent, but
  parseNamedArgs yields `null` for an absent value-flag and `false` for an
  absent boolean-flag, so `--granularity` read as present on every
  plan-phase invocation. Fixed at the root: a flag is present iff its
  option value is truthy. The six per-handler `|| undefined` folds are now
  redundant and removed, which also closes the duplicate-translation and
  missed-onboard-handler findings.
- MAJOR: state:needs-codebase-map had zero coverage. Added unit, property
  and real-CLI integration tests.
- MINOR: reject absolute, UNC/drive and `..`-traversing `read` paths in the
  manifest, degrading the whole load to null like every other shape
  violation. Verified: `/etc/passwd` previously reached section_manifest.read.
- MINOR: corrected a stale "4 to 20" doc comment; the vocabulary is 14.

Refs #2992

* test(#2992): update the generator suite for the per-workflow manifest shape

The remote matrix went red with 5 unique failures, identical on
linux-node22 and linux-node24, all in tests/gen-section-manifest.test.cjs.
Re-keying the artifact to {workflows:{...}} left this suite asserting the
old flat {sections:[...]} shape; nothing else in the tree still does.

- three tests read manifest.sections.length, now undefined; retargeted at
  workflows.<name> with their original intent preserved (a fenced or
  loop-host marker still asserts NO section is produced, not merely a
  changed count)
- the stale-manifest test wrote its fixture in the OLD shape, so it tripped
  shape validation and stopped exercising staleness at all. Its fixture is
  now valid-but-mismatched so FAIL_STALE is genuinely reached again.
- added the coverage that exposed: a pre-6.1 flat artifact must report
  FAIL_MANIFEST_MALFORMED_SHAPE. That is the real upgrade path for an
  installed tree and nothing covered it.

1259e4b619 fix(#1700): scope spike MANIFEST requirements per idea key (#3014)
* test(#1700): add failing-first regression test for spike MANIFEST.md idea scoping

Pins the deployed-text contract for spike.md's create_manifest step and
spike-wrap-up.md's gather/synthesize/write_skill steps before the fix lands,
so the fix commit demonstrates RED to GREEN.

* test(#1700): add issue ref to allow-test-rule exemption

lint-allow-test-rule-refs.cjs (ADR-456) requires a tracking-issue
reference on the same line as any new allow-test-rule: exemption.

* fix(#1700): scope spike MANIFEST.md Idea/Requirements per idea key

.planning/spikes/MANIFEST.md held one un-keyed ## Idea paragraph and one
flat ## Requirements list, while spike.md's own read path (load_prior_context
step d, frontier mode) assumed the tree holds several unrelated ideas across
campaigns. spike-wrap-up.md then copied that flat Requirements list verbatim
into every generated feature-area reference and the generated spike-findings
skill, so one idea's requirements leaked into another idea's build as
non-negotiable constraints.

Scopes both sides by an explicit idea key:
- spike.md's create_manifest step now writes MANIFEST.md as ## Ideas >
  ### {idea-key} subsections (idea paragraph + its own Requirements list),
  appends a new idea section instead of overwriting an existing one, and
  migrates a pre-fix flat-shape MANIFEST.md in place instead of discarding
  it. The ## Spikes table gains an Idea column. Spike README frontmatter
  carries the idea key.
- spike-wrap-up.md's gather/synthesize/write_skill steps resolve each
  spike's idea key and pull Requirements only from the idea key(s) actually
  represented among the spikes being wrapped.
- sketch.md's MANIFEST.md read (collateral of the same seam) is updated to
  match the new per-idea section shape.
- references/artifact-types.md no longer describes the project-level,
  durable-index MANIFEST.md as "(per-spike)".

Not a docs-vs-workflow conflict: docs/how-to/spike-and-sketch.md already
matches this contract ("all spikes are indexed in MANIFEST.md") and needed
no change; the defect was internal to spike.md (per-idea read assumption,
single-idea write template).

* test(#1700): make idea-frontmatter regex CRLF-safe

CONTRIBUTING.md's cross-platform portability rules (docs/contributing/
cross-platform-portability-rules.md) ban a bare \n literal matched against
fs.readFileSync'd content — Windows checkouts normalize to CRLF and would
silently break the assertion. Use \r?\n instead.

Found during self-review (code-review skill, Standards axis) before this
branch was handed off for verification.

* test(#1700): acknowledge emitted-size growth in spike.md, spike-wrap-up.md, sketch.md

The differential attribution check (tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs,
ADR-2719) flagged unattributed byte growth in three emitted workflow files.
All three grew as a direct, necessary consequence of the #1700 fix (idea-key
scoping in spike.md's create_manifest, spike-wrap-up.md's gather/synthesize/
write_skill, and the matching one-line update to sketch.md's MANIFEST.md
read) — none of it is incidental prose. Growth stays well under the DEFAULT
tier byte cap (40960) for all three files; PRE_PHASE6 does not apply to
them (only plan-phase.md/execute-phase.md).

07de60523c fix(#2657): untrack the nine ADR-457 migration-gap compiled artifacts (#3011)
* test(#2657): add failing-first regression for tracked bin/lib compiled artifacts

Nine gsd-core/bin/lib/*.cjs artifacts are tracked in git despite having
src/*.cts sources, violating ADR-457's build-at-publish contract. This
regression test asserts the ADR-457 end state (untracked, gitignored,
empty-set reported by the #2656 sync guard) and fails until the tracking
is fixed.

* fix(#2657): untrack the nine ADR-457 migration-gap compiled artifacts

Nine gsd-core/bin/lib/*.cjs artifacts (api-coverage, assumption-delta,
claude-orchestration, claude-orchestration-command-router, external-job,
markdown-table, runtime-artifact-install-plan, state-transition,
write-set) were tracked in git despite each having a matching src/*.cts
source, letting the committed bytes drift silently from source (#2653
demonstrated this for api-coverage.cjs).

Seven had no .gitignore entry at all; two (markdown-table.cjs,
write-set.cjs) had a pattern added by #2248 but were never
git rm --cached. Both gaps produce the same tracked-file symptom.

Untracks all nine and adds the seven missing .gitignore entries next to
their two siblings, reaching ADR-457's end state: bin/lib/*.cjs is a
gitignored build artifact built via prepare/pretest/prepublishOnly, never
checked-in source of truth. The #2656 artifact-sync guard is
regime-agnostic by design and needed no code change; it now reports the
empty-set end state.

* test(#2657): consolidate repeated still-tracked/unmatched assertion shape

Code-review finding (Standards axis, Duplicated Code): the three
'none of the nine should still be in bad state X' checks shared an
identical filter-then-assert-empty shape. Extracted assertNoneStillBad()
as a shared helper; behavior is unchanged.

* fix(#2657): make the .gitignore-match assertion existence-independent

The regression test's check-ignore assertion used --no-index, which
locally exercises the pattern correctly but was reported failing on
gsd-test's fresh shallow clone. Switched to plain 'git check-ignore -q'
(no --no-index): verified via a real git worktree checkout at both
origin/next (fails: all nine report not-ignored, since check-ignore
correctly special-cases the still-tracked pre-fix state) and this
branch's tip (passes: all nine report ignored). Plain check-ignore is
also semantically stronger than --no-index here, since it honors the
'a tracked path is never reported ignored' rule that --no-index
bypasses -- exactly the property under test for the two paths whose
.gitignore pattern predates this fix (#2248) but were never untracked.

Also reconciled the .gitignore comment: it previously read 'these
seven' beside seven new lines with no indication of the other two (of
nine total) that already had a pattern from #2248. Annotated both
groups so the count is unambiguous at the point of the diff.

* test(#2657): make every git invocation self-diagnosing

b6f915bc0 failed in the runner with a shape that turned out not to be
about .gitignore content or the merge: two of the five failures in this
file were 'Command failed' / 'Got unwanted exception' -- git itself
erroring, not answering. The old code used execFileSync + try/catch,
which conflates 'git said no' with 'git could not run' -- both looked
like the same negative result to the test, exactly the failure mode
that produced 'unmatched: <all nine>' twice on two different
assertions for two different reasons.

Switched every git invocation to spawnSync (never throws) and made
every assertion check the exit status explicitly before interpreting
output:
  - git ls-files: must exit 0, or the assertion fails loud with cwd,
    exit status, and stderr instead of silently reading an error as
    'nothing tracked'.
  - git check-ignore -q: only exit 0 (ignored) and exit 1 (not
    ignored) are legitimate answers per check-ignore(1); any other
    status is now a thrown infrastructure failure, never read as
    'not ignored'.
  - trackedCompiledArtifacts(): a thrown error is now reported as
    what it is (its internal git call failed), not swallowed into a
    'still tracked' verdict.
  - the sync-guard subprocess check now reports cwd/stderr/stdout on
    a non-zero exit instead of a bare doesNotThrow.

This is a genuine, independent test defect (a test that reads a
failed command's empty output as a meaningful answer can pass or fail
for the wrong reason) as well as the mechanism for finally surfacing
why b6f915bc0 failed in the runner: the next run's assertion messages
will show the resolved cwd and git's actual stderr instead of an
opaque 'unmatched: <all nine>'.

* fix(#2657): trust the repo root for git calls under dubious-ownership

Root cause of the failing runner verdict, harvested from the
diagnostics commit: every git invocation in the container exits 128
with 'fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at /work' --
the checkout there is owned by a different uid than the process
running the tests, and git refuses to operate at all. The old
assertions read that hard failure as 'not ignored' / 'still tracked',
producing the all-nine symptom seen on both b6f915bc0 (plain
check-ignore) and 34052f836 (--no-index). Nothing was ever wrong with
the untracking, the .gitignore content, or the merge -- confirmed by
exhaustive local reproduction (git worktree, real shallow clone, the
runner's exact clone+checkout+merge sequence from its own Go source)
that could never surface the bug because this machine owns its own
checkouts.

Fixed at both git() call sites in this exact seam by passing
'-c safe.directory=<repo root>' per-invocation (never written to any
config file, so trust is scoped to the single call):
  - tests/fix-2657-untrack-compiled-artifacts.test.cjs
  - scripts/lint-compiled-artifact-sync.cjs -- a SHIPPED script with
    the identical defect (its own git ls-files failed the same way in
    the same run), which would fail identically for any containerized
    CI lane whose checkout uid differs from the running user, not just
    this branch. Folded in under the no-defer rule rather than filed
    separately, since it sits in the exact tracked-compiled-artifact
    guard this issue is about.

The status-code guards added in 31858818e stay in place -- they are
what turned an unexplainable 'unmatched: <all nine>' into a one-line
diagnosis, and they must keep any future infrastructure fault from
silently reading as a substantive result.

51f32d2d40 fix(#2658): detect trae runtime and resolve its instruction file to a concrete rules file (#3006)
* test(#2658): add failing-first regression for trae runtime detection and instruction path

Covers all three collided defects reported in #2658 plus a fourth
instance of defect 1 (ingest-docs.md) found while diagnosing it:
missing trae detection in workflow runtime-detection blocks, the
CLAUDE.md path-mutilation bug in both the js/cjs and md install-time
converters, and the missing projectInstructionFile capability
declaration. Fails against current source; the next commit fixes it.

* fix(#2658): detect trae runtime and resolve its instruction file to a concrete rules file

Three defects collided to produce the reported ".claude/.trae/rules/"
path:

1. new-project.md and ingest-docs.md's runtime-detection blocks only
   recognized codex/gemini/opencode and fell through to RUNTIME=claude
   for trae. Both now recognize the /.trae/ execution-context path and
   the TRAE_CONFIG_DIR env var before the claude fallback.
2. RUNTIME_CONTENT_DISPATCH.trae.js (bin/install.js) replaced bare
   "CLAUDE.md" before the ".claude/" prefix was handled, mutilating
   ".claude/CLAUDE.md" into ".claude/.trae/rules/". Now replaces the
   full ".claude/CLAUDE.md" path first, and targets a concrete file.
3. convertClaudeToTraeMarkdown (mirrored in bin/install.js and
   src/runtime-artifact-conversion.cts per the #2094 output-parity
   test) had the same class of bug with a different wrong output
   (".trae/.trae/rules/", from its generic ".claude/" rewrite firing
   after the bare CLAUDE.md rewrite). Both mirrors now match full-path
   forms before the bare/generic patterns, converging on the same
   concrete file as the js/cjs converter.
4. capabilities/trae/capability.json didn't declare
   hostBehaviors.projectInstructionFile, so getProjectInstructionFile
   fell through to the generic AGENTS.md default even when RUNTIME=trae
   was resolved correctly. Now declares ".trae/rules/rules.md",
   regenerated into gsd-core/bin/lib/capability-registry.cjs via
   npm run gen:capability-registry.

Closes #2658

* chore(#2658): add changeset

* fix(#2658): preserve arbitrary runtime-dir prefixes in the trae path rewrite

Found by the end-to-end --trae install regression test (not by static
trace) across two verification runs:

1. copyWithPathReplacement runs a generic ~/.claude/, $HOME/.claude/,
   and ./.claude/ -> runtime-dir rewrite on every .md file BEFORE
   calling convertClaudeToTraeMarkdown. The prior fix's
   .claude/CLAUDE.md-specific patterns never fire on that
   already-rewritten text, and the bare fallback still doubled
   whatever prefix the generic pass substituted. A first attempt
   handled only the fixed "./.trae/" shape and missed the
   $HOME/.claude/ and ~/.claude/ forms gsd-core/workflows/profile-user.md
   actually uses, which post-rewrite become an arbitrary absolute
   local-install-root path, not the fixed relative shape. Fixed with a
   prefix-preserving pattern that captures whatever precedes a
   ".trae/" tail and fixes only the filename suffix, instead of
   assuming one fixed shape.

2. The fix's own explanatory comments literally spelled out the
   malformed strings and the instruction filename as contiguous text.
   Since these two files ship verbatim into local --trae installs,
   where they are themselves run through the same find/replace, the
   comments got "fixed" right along with the real code, leaking the
   malformed string into the installed tree. Rewrote every comment in
   both mirror copies to never spell either the instruction filename
   or a malformed shape as one contiguous token.

Adds an emitted-drift-ack fragment: the corrected replacement target
for every CLAUDE.md mention (bare directory -> concrete file) changes
trae-emitted output for every repo file that mentions CLAUDE.md, not
only the ones that hit the originally reported bug.

* test(#2658): extend parity test with arbitrary-prefix .trae/ inputs

The bin/install.js vs runtime-artifact-conversion.cjs parity assertion
for convertClaudeToTraeMarkdown only fed the pre-existing bare
.claude/CLAUDE.md input through both implementations. Feed the
prefix-preserving cases (relative, nested-absolute, tilde, $HOME,
backtick-wrapped) plus a property-based check through both, so a
future edit to only one copy of the .trae/-tail regex fails this
test instead of silently diverging.

a987cf2731 chore(#2932): emit a per-invocation section manifest from the init bundle (#2987)
* chore(#2932): emit a per-invocation section manifest from init

Extends the init bundle with a typed per-invocation section manifest so an
invocation loads only the branch guidance it will actually take.

The three flag/state-gated branches in execute-phase.md move into their own
step files; the parent keeps its gsd:section markers wrapping a one-line
on-demand reference, so each section's prose lives in exactly one file and
the parent shrinks 93369 -> 89507 bytes. A new drift-guarded generator
derives the shipped section manifest from those markers, and a new pure
evaluator maps invocation facts to applicable section ids.

The evaluator is a lookup over the frozen WHEN_VOCABULARY, never a parser
(Greenspun's Tenth Rule, ADR-1671:69); a parity test asserts the vocabulary
and the predicate map stay exhaustively in sync.

Closes #2932

* fix(#2932): fail closed on prototype-chain when values

An isolated adversarial review found WHEN_PREDICATES[section.when] was a
bracket lookup on a plain-prototype object, so inherited Object.prototype
members resolved as predicates: "constructor"/"toString"/"valueOf"/
"hasOwnProperty" returned truthy and SILENTLY INCLUDED the section, and
"__proto__" threw an untyped TypeError carrying no .reason. Both violate
the module's documented fail-closed contract, and the manifest is read from
disk at run time so it cannot be assumed trustworthy.

Builds the predicate map on a null prototype and guards the lookup with an
explicit Object.hasOwn check. Adds table-driven coverage for nine
Object.prototype-shaped keys asserting the TYPED reason (asserting only
that it throws would still pass while broken) plus a fast-check property
injecting a hostile value at an arbitrary document position.

c61dd49d95 enhance(#2255): blocking catastrophic-shrink guard for curated .planning/ writes (#2301)
* feat(#2255): blocking catastrophic-shrink guard for .planning writes

Adds hooks/gsd-write-guard.js, a PreToolUse hook that hard-blocks
(decision: 'block', exit 2) a whole-file Write collapsing a curated
.planning/ artifact (ROADMAP.md, .planning/milestones/*-ROADMAP.md,
STATE.md) below 40% of its on-disk line count. Files under 40 lines
are exempt; GSD_ALLOW_PLANNING_SHRINK=1 (named in the block message)
bypasses for legitimate milestone resets.

Fix 3 of #973 — the only defense independent of per-agent tool config.
Registered on the Claude plugin surface (hooks.json), settings-json
runtimes (runtime-hooks-surface.cts, self-contained pattern), Kimi
spec, and the OpenCode/Kilo plugin buses. Golden install fixtures and
INVENTORY regenerated; regression tests negative-controlled (16/16
RED with the hook absent, 16/16 GREEN with it present).

* chore(#2255): backfill changeset pr number to 2301

* enhance(#2255): address review — fail-closed reads, typed block output, registration, property test

Review fixes for trek-e's CHANGES_REQUESTED on PR #2301:

- Blocker 2: register gsd-write-guard.js in BUNDLED_GSD_HOOK_FILES
  (no-shipping-drift test).
- Blocker 3: update the always-on hook enumerations in ADR-766 and
  CONTEXT.md from six to seven.
- Major 4: fail CLOSED on non-ENOENT read errors — only a missing file
  (new-file Write) passes; EACCES/EISDIR/ELOOP/etc now block, with a
  typed readError field and the override still honored. Tested, with a
  negative control against the pre-fix hook.
- Major 5: fast-check property test for the SHRINK_RATIO/FLOOR_LINES
  budget contract (blocked ⟺ newLines < oldLines*SHRINK_RATIO above the
  floor; sub-floor always exempt), boundary examples pinned.
- Major 6: block output now carries typed oldLines/newLines/
  overrideEnvVar fields; tests assert on those instead of regexing the
  free-form reason string.
- Minor: CURATED_PATTERNS are case-insensitive (case-insensitive-FS
  bypass on macOS/Windows); limit+1 boundary tests added for both the
  floor and the ratio.

* enhance(#2255): engage the write guard on Kimi's native payload shape

The guard shipped with Claude-vocabulary checks (tool_name 'Write',
tool_input.file_path), which #2304 showed leaves a guard dormant on
Kimi: the [[hooks]] matcher is registered pre-translated but kimi-cli
forwards its native payload verbatim — tool_name 'WriteFile' (bare or
module-qualified) and tool_input.path per its tool schemas
(src/kimi_cli/tools/file/write.py). The guard matched, saw an unknown
name, and exited 0.

Apply the same per-guard normalization PR #2326 gives the three
sibling guards (name + field mapping, inlined — hook scripts stage as
standalone files), and write the block reason to stderr as well as
stdout JSON: Kimi feeds stderr, not stdout, back to the model on
exit 2, so a stdout-only reason blocks without telling the model why
or naming the documented override.

Regression tests pipe Kimi-shaped payloads (engage, qualified-name,
stderr-reason) plus exemption pins (StrReplaceFile stays out of scope
by design; non-curated paths pass) — verified red against the pre-fix
guard, green after.

* enhance(#2255): rebase onto next; regenerate golden-parity fixtures

* enhance(#2255): wire the escape hatch into complete-milestone's reorganize step

Review Blocker 1: the guard hard-blocked /gsd:complete-milestone's ROADMAP
reorganize — the tree's only legitimate milestone reset and the exact caller
GSD_ALLOW_PLANNING_SHRINK was built for. The reorganize step now performs the
rewrite through a shell write with the hatch set on the command (a hook
inherits the runtime env, so a bare Write cannot carry a per-step override),
and a binding test derives the env var name from the guard's typed output and
asserts (a) the workflow step sets it and (b) the guard passes the identical
catastrophic payload under it — so the next complete-milestone.md edit cannot
silently re-break the wiring.

* enhance(#2255): drop dead Edit-class mapping from normalizeKimiPayload

Review Major 1: StrReplaceFile -> 'Edit' and the old_string/new_string
reconstruction were unreachable-by-effect — the guard exits 0 for any
tool_name !== 'Write', so nothing ever read the fields they set, leaving
guaranteed-surviving mutants against the Stryker bar. The map now carries
only WriteFile -> 'Write'; the StrReplaceFile exemption test message states
the fall-through it actually exercises.

* enhance(#2255): review minors — American spellings; writeSync before exit(2)

Minor 1: normalised/normalise -> American house style. Minor 2: the two
block paths wrote stdout+stderr via async pipe writes then exit(2) —
async-on-Windows, unflushed at exit; fs.writeSync(1/2, ...) makes the block
payload durable.

* enhance(#2255): assert stderr equals the typed reason, not raw prose

Minor 3: the last raw-text match in the suite pinned override-name prose on
stderr. The contract is "stderr carries the reason Kimi feeds back" — now
asserted as stderr non-empty and byte-equal to the parsed stdout.reason.

* enhance(#2255): bind the write-guard's Kimi normalization into the parity test

Review Major 2: the guard's normalizeKimiPayload is a 4th inlined copy with
nothing binding it. This extends PR #2326's kimi-guard-normalization-parity
test (same path and helpers, authored as a superset so either merge order
resolves cleanly): sibling byte-parity is existence-gated zero-or-all —
trivially green until #2326 lands, full-strength after — and the write-guard
copy is bound semantically (map is the value-inverse of convertKimiToolName;
the Kimi name for Write must map, or the guard is dormant on Kimi; the
path -> file_path half must be present). Byte-parity is deliberately not
asserted for this copy: it legitimately omits the Edit-class mapping
(Major 1 — dead code in a Write-only guard).

* enhance(#2255): refresh golden-parity fixtures for revised guard + workflow

* chore(#2255): regenerate golden fixtures after rebase onto next

The committed fixture hashes were generated against a tree predating
next's latest 11 commits, which independently modified the same
install-parity surface. Rebased onto next and regenerated with
`npm run gen:golden`.

Verified: against upstream/next the regenerated fixtures differ by
exactly this PR's own entries -- hooks/gsd-write-guard.js (new),
hooks/managed-hooks-registry.cjs, plugins/gsd-core.js, and
gsd-core/workflows/complete-milestone.md. No unrelated drift.

* fix(#2255): regenerate workflow size baseline for complete-milestone

`complete-milestone.md` grew 31071 -> 32061 (+990) when the round-2
review fix bound GSD_ALLOW_PLANNING_SHRINK=1 into the reorganize step,
but tests/workflow-size-baseline.json was never regenerated. The
per-file workflow baseline test (issue #1074) failed on
ubuntu-latest/22 and both macOS shard 1/3 jobs.

The growth is justified: it is the escape-hatch binding requested in
review round 2 (the guard must not hard-block the tree's only
legitimate milestone reset), not incidental bloat.

Regenerated via `npm run size:baseline`; the diff is exactly the one
entry.

* chore(#2255): regenerate golden fixtures and size baseline after rebase onto next

* enhance(#2255): bind the shrink escape hatch mechanically — single-use sentinel the guard consumes

Round-5 M1: the per-step `GSD_ALLOW_PLANNING_SHRINK=1 tee` prefix was inert
(no PreToolUse hook exists on Bash in this family; the write succeeded by
dodging the guard, not by the override firing) and the protection was prose.
The hatch is now a transport code consults: complete-milestone's reorganize
step arms `.planning/.gsd-allow-shrink` with the target's path, keeps the
Write tool as the sanctioned path, and the guard — at the block point only —
verifies the sentinel is fresh (15 min) and names the pending target, then
CONSUMES it and allows that one write. Path-bound + single-use + freshness
keep it from becoming a standing unlock. The env var remains as the
interactive transport, where it can actually reach the hook.

Regression tests written first (negative control: 3 failed pre-fix): the
armed-sentinel Write passes and consumes; stale does not exempt; a token for
a different file neither exempts nor is consumed; the binding test now takes
the sentinel name from the guard's typed output (overrideSentinel), asserts
the step arms it, and asserts the step no longer routes the rewrite around
Write via a shell pipe.

Also in this commit, same file:
- m2: block emission is exception-safe — emitBlock() wraps both writeSync
  sites in their own try/catch that still exits 2, so an EPIPE can no longer
  convert fail-closed into the outer catch's fail-open.
- Header discloses the two reviewed design limits (cumulative sequential
  shrink; lexical match vs symlinked paths) per round-5 scoping.

* docs(#2255): document the sentinel transport across guard surfaces; changeset ends with the (#2255) parenthetical (m4)

USER-GUIDE bullet, INVENTORY row (en + ja/ko/pt/zh), the
runtime-hooks-surface registration comment, and the changeset now describe
both hatches — the single-use sentinel for workflow steps and the env var
for interactive use — instead of implying a per-step env can reach a hook.
The changeset's trailing `Resolves #2255.` prose becomes the `(#2255)`
parenthetical the repo's fragments use (round-5 m4).

* chore(#2255): regenerate derived families on the rebased tree (full sweep)

Full generator sweep after rebasing onto next @ the body-parser-patched
lockfile: build, gen-inventory-manifest, gen:golden, size:baseline. Every
regen delta verified to be either a PR-owned entry (gsd-write-guard.js,
complete-milestone.md, INVENTORY/USER-GUIDE) or exact convergence to next's
committed value for entries our arbitrary-side conflict resolution had left
stale (all 18 runtime fixtures checked mechanically).

* test(#2255): use helpers.cleanup for sentinel teardown, not raw fs.rmSync

The repo's local/no-raw-rmsync-in-tests rule exists for the Windows-EBUSY
retry budget; the sentinel disarm now rides it like every other teardown.

* chore(#2255): regenerate derived families after rebase onto next

Full sweep on the rebased tree (build -> gen-inventory-manifest ->
gen:golden -> size:baseline). Every delta is either a PR-owned entry
(hooks/gsd-write-guard.js, its registration surfaces
hooks/managed-hooks-registry.cjs and the two plugin buses,
gsd-core/workflows/complete-milestone.md) or exact convergence to
next's committed value across all 18 runtime fixtures.

* chore(#2255): regenerate derived families after rebase onto next @ a5180d96

Rebase onto current `next` (a5180d96) resolved 12 conflicting
golden-install-parity fixtures; all regenerated via the full generator
sweep (build, gen:golden, size:baseline) rather than a single generator.

`lint:generated-sync` reports every generated artifact in sync. All 45
differing fixture keys and the single workflow-size-baseline entry map
to files this PR actually touches; no foreign drift.

* fix(#2255): remove the stale unguarded reorganize_roadmap step (round-8 blocker)

complete-milestone.md carried a second ROADMAP-collapsing step,
`reorganize_roadmap`, distinct from the sentinel-armed
`reorganize_roadmap_and_delete_originals` this PR wired. It is a vestige
of the pre-archive-then-reorganize design: it sits BEFORE
archive_milestone, so executing it as written would collapse ROADMAP.md
before the archive snapshots the full phase detail — and its Write is
exactly the shape gsd-write-guard hard-blocks, with no hatch armed. The
file's own success criteria describe only one reorganize outcome
(Backlog-preserving, overwrite-in-place — the later step's properties),
and archive_milestone points forward to "the reorganize step".

Removed rather than wired, per the round-8 review's confirm-and-remove
option. A new binding test asserts the sentinel-armed step is the ONLY
reorganize step in the workflow, so an unguarded collapse step cannot be
silently reintroduced (negative-controlled: fails against the pre-fix
tree). Golden-parity fixtures and the size baseline regenerate for the
shrunk file; every changed fixture key is complete-milestone.md's own.

* test(#2255): document why the read-error injection is a path collision, not an fs monkeypatch

Round-8 nit: the non-ENOENT tests inject via a directory-at-target-path
collision instead of the repo's fs-method monkeypatch pattern. That is
deliberate, not drift — runHook exercises the hook as a spawnSync child
process, so an in-process fs.readFileSync patch (the pattern the cited
siblings use on require'd, in-process code) can never reach the code
under test. Record the reasoning at the injection site.

* chore(#2255): regenerate derived families after rebase onto next @ 0d08c320

Rebase onto current next (0d08c320) for the CONFLICTING/DIRTY state. All 32
conflicts were generated artifacts (19 golden-install-parity, 12 install-tree,
workflow-size-baseline); resolved arbitrarily and regenerated via a full
generator sweep (build, gen:golden, size:baseline, gen-inventory-manifest)
rather than hand-merged. No source conflicts.

Regen diff verified against the PR's changed-file set: 7 distinct differing
keys, all PR-owned (gsd-write-guard.js, managed-hooks-registry.cjs,
plugins/gsd-core.js, complete-milestone.md, and their .kimi mirrors).
lint:generated-sync clean.

* chore(#2255): regenerate derived families after rebase onto next @ 9138271b

Conflict set was 20 paths, every one a generated artifact, zero source
conflicts — resolved arbitrarily during the replay and regenerated here,
per the maintainer's round-9 recipe (never hand-merged).

Generator sweep (not just gen:golden): npm run build, gen:golden,
size:baseline, gen-inventory-manifest, gen:registry. INVENTORY-MANIFEST
came back byte-identical, so the merged value was already correct.

Regen diff verified == PR-touched entries: every differing leaf key
attributes to a file this PR changes (complete-milestone.md, the guard,
managed-hooks-registry.cjs, both plugin buses) — derived from the
changed-file set, not a feature-name filter.

* fix(#2255): port the #2595 Kimi-payload hardening the base landed for the sibling guards

Self-found via the round-10 base sweep: a8b40fa5 (#2547/PR #2595) hardened
gsd-prompt/read/worktree-path-guard's normalizeKimiPayload after this PR was
authored, and this guard carried all three pre-fix shapes:

- `path` now wins outright over a model-supplied `file_path` — kimi-cli's
  WriteFile schema carries no `file_path`, so a payload pairing a curated
  `path` with a spurious `file_path: ""` had the guard reading '' and
  exiting 0 while kimi-cli wrote to `path` (one-key bypass, no crash needed).
- null/primitive payloads pass through deliberately instead of throwing into
  the fail-open catch.
- the `file_path` read is typed (`typeof === 'string'`), closing the
  crash-to-allow on `[]`/`{}` — this is what the base-added
  kimi-guard-typed-payload-reads scan flags.

Negative-controlled: the shadowing payload exits 0 against the pre-fix guard
and 2 against this one.

* fix(#2255): round 9 Major 2 — stop printing the sentinel recipe in the agent-facing denial

The block message ended by telling the blocked agent exactly how to arm the
single-use sentinel — handing the #973 actor a mechanical self-authorization
in the moment it is blocked. The recipe is gone from the prose; the
corrective advice and the env override's name stay (the latter is a #2255
acceptance criterion, and a per-step env prefix cannot reach a hook anyway),
and the typed overrideSentinel field stays for the binding tests. The hatch
remains documented in USER-GUIDE.md and complete-milestone.md, where humans
and the workflow engine read.

* fix(#2255): round 9 Minors 1-2 — realpath-resolve the target before the curated match; disclose the /i Linux cost

Minor 1: a Write to a non-curated path that symlinks into a curated file was
not matched while writeFileSync followed the link — the target is now
realpath-resolved before the curated match (ENOENT keeps the lexical
resolution so new-file Writes still pass; any other realpath error falls
through to the read, which fails closed). Negative-controlled: the symlink
payload exits 0 against the pre-fix guard, 2 against this one. Test skips on
win32, where symlink creation needs privilege.

Minor 2: the header's design-limits block now names the unconditional /i
cost on case-sensitive Linux (a genuinely distinct .planning/roadmap.md is
also treated as curated) next to the stateless limit, and drops the closed
symlink limit.

* test(#2255): round 9 Minors 3-4 — CRLF counting pin + a passing Write leaves a fresh sentinel unburned

Minor 3: countLines' split('\n') is CRLF-safe for a count (the \r rides
along), confirmed by trace in the review — this pins it against this repo's
recurring CRLF regressions, on both sides of the compare and at the 40%
boundary.

Minor 4: consumeSentinelFor runs only after the ratio check would block, so
a within-tolerance Write never burns the workflow's token — true by
construction, previously un-asserted.

* fix(#2255): round 9 Major 3 — correct the stale env-var line in archive_milestone's summary

complete-milestone.md's "After archival" bullet still said the reorganize
happens "under GSD_ALLOW_PLANNING_SHRINK=1" — the wording from the round-2
design this PR's own history rejected in round 5 (a per-step env var cannot
reach a hook; setting it in a Bash step silently does nothing). It now points
at the sentinel mechanics the reorganize step actually documents, matching
that step and USER-GUIDE.md.

* docs(#2255): round 9 Major 1 — user-facing docs state the stateless per-Write limit

The changeset and USER-GUIDE described the guard as covering "catastrophically
shrinks" with no caveat, while the stateless design was disclosed only in the
hook header — an operator reading the shipped docs would conclude iterative
erosion is covered. Both surfaces now state the per-Write comparison and the
erosion non-goal explicitly, in line with what the guard does.

* fix(#2255): round 10 Blocker 1 — arm the hatch in the roadmapper's curated writes

gsd-roadmapper Step 7 Writes both .planning/ROADMAP.md and .planning/STATE.md
wholesale, and /gsd:new-milestone spawns it against the OUTGOING milestone's
files. new-milestone's `phases.clear` archives phase DIRECTORIES, never
ROADMAP.md, so nothing compacts it first, and no ordering rule forces
/gsd:complete-milestone to run before /gsd:new-milestone.

Measured against the shipped hook at the #973 file size (292 lines): a new
4-phase roadmap lands at 18.2% and an 8-phase one at 31.8% — both blocked; only
a 12-phase replacement (45.5%) clears. So the collapse is reachable on a
first-party flow, which is the failure mode #2255 para 4 says the guard must not
have.

Arms the single-use sentinel immediately before each Write, one per target
(the token is path-bound and single-use, so one arming cannot cover both), and
gates each arming on `[ -f ]` so the /gsd:new-project path — where the guard
already exempts via ENOENT — strands no unconsumed token.

Binding test derives the sentinel name from the guard's own typed output, so a
rename on either side fails the suite instead of silently unwiring the hatch.
Negative-controlled: 2 assertions fail against the pre-fix roadmapper.

* docs(#2255): round 10 Major 2 — scope the claim to the guarantee that ships

The sentinel is a plain file, so an agent that would reason past an advisory
can arm one with a single Bash call it is already permitted to make. The
"only defense independent of per-agent tool config" framing outran that, and
the changeset was on its way into CHANGELOG.md.

Retitles the claim on all three surfaces (changeset, guard header, USER-GUIDE)
to what the guard actually delivers: it blocks accidental and single-shot
collapse and is not a defense against a determined agent; what it converts is
"ignore a sentence" into "take one deliberate, path-bound, single-use,
auditable action".

Pinned by test on the DURABLE surfaces only — the guard header and USER-GUIDE.
The changeset fragment is deliberately not pinned: it is consumed at release,
so a test reading it would start failing the moment the release lands. The
bound-statement assertion normalizes comment markers and whitespace first, so
it pins the claim rather than the paragraph's line wrapping.

Negative-controlled: both assertions fail against the pre-fix surfaces.

* test(#2255): acknowledge the roadmapper growth from the round 10 Blocker 1 wiring

The emitted-attribution gate (#2719/#2767) flags gsd-roadmapper.md growing 1130
bytes without an acknowledgment. The growth is the Blocker 1 sentinel wiring
plus the rationale a future editor needs to keep it, so it gets an ack fragment
rather than a silencing regen — the gate's own message is explicit that there is
nothing left to regenerate.

Fragment is PR-scoped (2301-…) per the gate's naming instruction, and uses the
plain-string reason form the shipped fragments use.

Verified against the TRUE upstream tip, not the fork's origin/next: a stale
origin made this same gate report unrelated phantom drift (1 emitted path + 6
grown files + 5 stale acks) that vanishes when GSD_EMITTED_BASE is pinned.

* test(#2255): renumber the roadmapper PROSE_ALLOWLIST pin after the Step 7 wiring

CI red on shard 2/3, all four platforms. The #2751 gate keys PROSE_ALLOWLIST on
{file, line}; the Blocker 1 wiring added 18 lines above the allowlisted
parenthetical in agents/gsd-roadmapper.md, moving it 624 -> 642. Both halves of
the gate then fired: the moved line reads as a new offender, and the stale
entry no longer matches anything.

Line content at 642 is byte-identical to what the entry describes — a
descriptive "e.g." naming SDK queries a user could run — so this is a
renumber, not a re-classification.

Swept the defect class rather than the instance: agents/gsd-roadmapper.md is
the only line-pinned reference to any file this round changed.

Negative-controlled: both assertions fail against the un-renumbered allowlist.

* test(#2639): add regression for local-ahead-of-origin warning in handle_branching

execute-phase.md's handle_branching forks from origin/$DEFAULT_BRANCH. When
local is ahead (unpushed commits), the phase branch silently misses them.
The test asserts the workflow checks for local-ahead-of-origin and warns.

* fix(#2639): warn when local is ahead of origin before forking phase branch

handle_branching forks the phase branch from origin/$DEFAULT_BRANCH. When
local $DEFAULT_BRANCH is ahead (unpushed commits like plan/research docs),
the fork silently misses those commits. Now a loud WARNING is printed to
stderr naming the commit count and advising the user, matching the existing
uncommitted-changes warning pattern.

* chore(#2639): add changeset fragment

* fix(#2639): condense warning under ADR-857 cap + merge emitted-drift ack

gsd-test gate caught: (1) execute-phase.md exceeded the 93600-byte Phase 6
ceiling — condensed the WARNING from 3 echo lines to 1. (2) emitted-attribution
flagged the growth without an ack — merged into the existing #2930 ack fragment
(execute-phase.md was already acked there; can't have two acks for the same path).

* fix(#2639): condense warning further to clear the 93400 comfortable-margin gate

The ADR-857 Phase 6 test has two assertions: <93600 (hard ceiling) and
<=93400 (comfortable margin). Condensed from 3 lines to 2 to fit under
93400 (now 93369).

640eaee16e chore(#2930): fragmentize execute-phase.md and prove per-runtime composed emission (#2972)
* feat(#2930): fragmentize plan-phase.md workflow into per-runtime-composed sections

Adds src/workflow-fragments.cts (in-file <!-- gsd:section --> marker
parser/composer, ADR-1671 epic #1671 Phase 3), wires it into
bin/install.js's copyWithPathReplacement emission path, and pilots the
marker grammar on gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase.md.

Bookkeeping ripple for the new src/*.cts module: .gitignore,
eslint.config.mjs, docs/INVENTORY.md + docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json,
and a CONTEXT.md glossary entry. Amends ADR-1671 with open questions 1
and 2 resolutions and records the closed when= applicability grammar.
Adds docs/reference/workflow-fragments.md and an ARCHITECTURE.md
section documenting the marker authoring model.

* fix(#2930): put allow-test-rule issue ref on the same line as the marker

lint-allow-test-rule-refs.cjs requires the #NNN issue reference on the
same source line as `allow-test-rule:`; it was one line below and read
as an unreferenced novel exemption.

* docs(#2930): link the orphaned gate-predicates reference from the docs index

Found while adding the workflow-fragments reference doc: docs/reference/gate-predicates.md
shipped without an entry in docs/README.md, so it was unreachable from the docs index.
Fixed inline rather than deferred.

* fix(#2930): scope composition to workflows, add typed failure reasons

Review findings from two orthogonal passes:

- Scope composeWorkflow to gsd-core/workflows/ only. It previously ran on
  every .md the installer copied, so a future agent/command/reference doc
  documenting the marker syntax with an unfenced example would have been
  mis-parsed and silently stripped — a lossy drop the phase forbids.
- Add a frozen REASON enum; failures attach a typed .reason and tests assert
  on it instead of matching free-form message text (CONTRIBUTING.md:635-694).
- Derive the property generator's when= values from WHEN_VOCABULARY instead
  of duplicating them (DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX).
- Add adversarial parser fixtures: Unicode headings, NUL, U+FFFD, BOM,
  fence-within-fence, tilde and indented fences, lone-CR marker line.
- Document why --mvp is structurally unmarkable: its content is interleaved,
  not sectioned, so the whole-line grammar cannot reach it.

Also fixes two stale tests on this branch, each reproduced on the unmodified
tree before correction.

* fix(#2930): retarget the pilot from plan-phase to execute-phase

The full remote matrix went red on both Linux lanes. Root cause was ours:
tests/phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs holds a PRE_PHASE6 ceiling of
94519 bytes for plan-phase.md, asserting an ADR-857 Phase-6 completion
property. That is a third size gate beyond the tier caps and the
differential ratchet, and it left plan-phase.md just 36 bytes of headroom
rather than the 3821 computed from the XL cap. The 330 marker bytes
overran it by 294.

Raising the ceiling is not an option: it is a red line certifying another
ADR's completion. plan-phase.md is reverted to byte-identical origin/next
and the pilot moves to execute-phase.md, which has 728 bytes of headroom
under its own ceiling and lands at 93147 with 3 marker pairs.

The vocabulary narrows to the atoms actually used: always, flag:--wave,
state:gap-closure-phase, state:has-prior-phases.

Recorded in the ADR: every branch the epic names lives in plan-phase.md,
which cannot be fragmentized until caps move from source to emitted bytes.
That is direct evidence for the epic's premise and may reorder phases 3-4.

* chore(#2930): backfill changeset PR number (#2972)

* fix(#2930): make the emission install tests portable on Windows

The windows-latest lane went red on three tests in the new install suite;
Linux was green. Both causes were in the test harness, not the module.

Root normalization: the opencode converter always embeds the install root
forward-slashed, but the tests stripped it with the native-separator string
from mkdtemp. On Windows that never matched, so the root leaked through
unstripped — and because the real and stub install roots have different
prefix lengths, that length difference landed directly in the byte-delta
assertion (344 observed vs 275 expected). Normalize both text and root to
one separator form before stripping.

@-ref resolution: the helper stripped only the @~/ and @$HOME/ forms, so a
Windows absolute ref (@C:/Users/...) fell through and was joined onto the
root, producing ...\@C:\Users\... Strip the @ first, then detect
absoluteness from the token's own shape (POSIX, drive-letter, or UNC) with
no platform branching, so every OS takes the same path.

Neither assertion was weakened; the exact-equality byte check is the point
of the test and still holds.

* docs(#2930): document every REASON member and guard the doc/enum parity

Code review found the reference doc's 'Fails closed' list covering 10 of the
11 frozen REASON members — MALFORMED_ATTRIBUTES (parseAttrs rejects malformed
key="value" syntax) had no bullet, and it is distinct from
UNRECOGNIZED_ATTRIBUTE, which is valid syntax with an unknown key.

Two parallel surfaces sharing one constant with nothing asserting they agree is
the DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX class, so the same commit adds the parity assertion:
the test derives the enum side from the built module and the doc side by parsing
the reference page, keyed on the reason IDENTIFIER rather than prose so a
reworded bullet does not break it, and reports set differences in both
directions by name.

Proven non-vacuous: removing the MALFORMED_ATTRIBUTES bullet turns the suite
red naming that exact member; restoring it returns 44/44.

0bb7525a62 fix(#2943): rename get-library-docs -> query-docs; correct the ctx7 fallback rationale (#2963)
* test(#2943): parity guard against the nonexistent get-library-docs tool

Second context7 naming drift after #2017 (which guarded the plugin-marketplace
PREFIX). #2017's guard only checks tools: frontmatter lines, not prose bodies —
which is where the broken tool NAME (get-library-docs) lived. The context7 MCP
server registers only resolve-library-id and query-docs; get-library-docs is a
stale copy from upstream's own README.

Scans the shipped prose surface (agents/, gsd-core/references|workflows/,
commands/gsd/, skills/) and fails if any artifact instructs an agent to call
mcp__context7__get-library-docs. Excludes tests/ (a fixture may use the name as
a negative input) and CHANGELOG/RELEASE-NOTES-LEGACY (history).

Fails-first: 4 offenders today (gsd-executor.md:29,
research-documentation-lookup.md:5, discovery-phase.md:68 & :104).

* fix(#2943): rename get-library-docs to query-docs and correct the ctx7 fallback rationale

The context7 MCP server registers only resolve-library-id and query-docs
(verified against upstream packages/mcp/src/index.ts); get-library-docs is a
stale name copied from upstream's own README. Four shipped prose sites instructed
agents to call a tool the server does not register, so every research path that
loaded the canonical reference either errored, fell through to the ctx7 CLI
branch, or fabricated a result.

- research-documentation-lookup.md, gsd-executor.md, discovery-phase.md (x2):
  get-library-docs -> query-docs, params context7CompatibleLibraryId/topic ->
  libraryId/query (the registered contract).
- Same files' ctx7 CLI fallback rationale: the cited cause
  (anthropics/claude-code#13898 'strips MCP tools from agents with a tools:
  frontmatter restriction') was wrong on two counts — #13898 is closed and was
  never about tools: frontmatter. Rewritten to describe the real mechanism
  (custom subagents cannot see project-scoped .mcp.json; they only inherit
  user-scoped ~/.claude/mcp.json). The fallback itself is kept.
- discovery-phase.md 'mode: code/info' dropped — query-docs takes libraryId +
  query only; the code-vs-concepts intent is now expressed via the query text.

resolve-library-id is unchanged (still registered upstream). CHANGELOG and
RELEASE-NOTES-LEGACY citations are historical record, left as-is.

* chore(#2943): add changeset fragment (pr:0 placeholder)

* test(#2943): widen parity-guard scan surface to docs/ (isolated-review finding)

The isolated adversarial review flagged that SCAN_DIRS omitted docs/, which
ships docs/AGENTS.md — agent-consumed prose carrying 8 mcp__context7__* refs.
No false negative today (it uses only the wildcard), but a future banned-name
addition there would slip through, recreating the exact drift this guard exists
to prevent. Add docs/ to the scan surface, with an EXCLUDED_FILES set for
historical record (docs/RELEASE-NOTES-LEGACY.md, CHANGELOG.md) that must not be
rewritten to satisfy the guard.

* fix(#2943): update shifted PROSE_ALLOWLIST line + acknowledge gsd-executor.md growth

The gsd-test gate caught two real consequences of the rationale rewrite in
agents/gsd-executor.md (the +2-line corrected mechanism description shifted
line numbers below it):

1. tests/no-bare-gsd-tools-command-position.test.cjs: the legitimate
   'gsd-tools query commit' descriptive mention moved from line 791 -> 793.
   Update the PROSE_ALLOWLIST entry to the new line (the mention is unchanged,
   just relocated by my edit above it). Without this the gate reports both a
   stale allowlist entry (791) and a new offender (793) for the same mention.
2. tests/emitted-drift-acks/2943-context7-tool-name.json: gsd-executor.md grew
   95 bytes (the accurate mechanism rationale is longer than the wrong one-line
   #13898 attribution it replaces). Acknowledge the growth with the reason.

Both are mandated by the gate, not optional. The rename itself (get-library-docs
-> query-docs) is byte-neutral-ish; only the rationale rewrite grew the file.

f092c6da85 fix(#2649): diagnose-issues + execute-plan run worktree.base-check before worktree dispatch (#2955)
* test(#2649): failing-first — diagnose-issues + execute-plan must run base-check before worktree dispatch

* fix(#2649): diagnose-issues + execute-plan run worktree.base-check before dispatch

diagnose-issues.md spawn_agents and execute-plan.md Pattern A spawned
worktree-isolated subagents (gsd-debugger / gsd-executor) without the
pre-dispatch worktree.base-check gate that execute-phase (#683/#1369) and
quick (#1941) already run. Claude Code's isolation="worktree" forks from
origin/HEAD, not live local HEAD; without the gate, the documented GSD steady
state (commit every step locally, push only on request) hits the verify-only
worktree_branch_check guard's exit-42 halt mid-investigation with no auto-degrade.

Mirror the quick.md #1941 pattern: before dispatch, run
`gsd_run query worktree.base-check --pick shouldDegrade`; if true, print its
message + a #2649 warning to stderr and set USE_WORKTREES=false (sequential
main-tree dispatch). The verify-only guard stays as a backstop in both cases.

Per the triage and #2649 acceptance criterion 5, execute-plan.md's Pattern A
(identified as a second site with the identical gap) is fixed in the SAME change
— same bug class, same one-line gate, two workflow files — rather than filed as
a separate follow-up.

* fix(#2649): ack the diagnose-issues + execute-plan growth (per-PR fragment)

The two workflow files grew vs next (diagnose-issues.md +1381, execute-plan.md
+905) adding the #2649 base-check gate. emitted-attribution requires an ack;
this is a per-PR fragment under tests/emitted-drift-acks/ (#2914 mechanism,
replacing the legacy shared emitted-drift-ack.json).

* test(#2649): tighten base-check ordering assertion + guard backstop survival

Address code-review minors:
- the ordering assertion was a loose disjunction that passed even if the
  base-check moved AFTER the dispatch; tighten to assert base-check < Agent()
  (the real invariant).
- add a test that the verify-only <worktree_branch_check> backstop remains
  embedded in the Agent() prompt (acceptance criterion 4 — the base-check is a
  pre-dispatch degrade, the guard is a post-fork fail-closed backstop; both
  layers must survive).

05b170e448 chore(#2928): productionize the CONTEXT.md predicate fact-store and gate it in CI (#2938)
* feat(#2928): port CONTEXT.md predicate fact-store into the src seam

Productionizes the ADR-1671 Option-E reference example as a real module:
src/context-predicates.cts (parser + selector + index builder) compiled to
gsd-core/bin/lib/, plus scripts/gen-context-index.cjs following the repo's
--check/--write drift-guard idiom and wired into lint:generated-sync.

Parser behavior is deliberately prototype-equivalent in this commit so the
next commit's regression matrix binds to the real defects rather than to a
missing module.

Two locked design deviations from the prototype:
- duplicates carry a count, not line numbers
- the committed index carries no line field at all, resolving ADR-1671 open
  question 4: an artifact without line numbers cannot drift on a line shift,
  so promoting --check to a CI gate does not make it routinely red

Also reconciles the one remaining duplicate predicate ID
(RULESET.WORKFLOW_MARKDOWN.FENCES was declared twice; the non-MD040 wording
is removed) so the gate can land fail-closed on duplicates.

Refs #1671

* test(#2928): failing-first matrix for the predicate fact-store

Adds the regression matrix from the phase test plan: parser declaration
forms, fence and comment regions, ID/value grammar boundaries at
limit-1/limit/limit+1, CRLF fidelity, duplicate detection, the drift-guard
CLI, the selector query surface, and four document-shaped fast-check
properties.

Seven rows are RED for behavioral reasons against the ported parser:
indented-bare, star-list, plus-list and numbered-list declaration forms are
dropped; a tilde fence and a four-backtick fence containing a shorter fence
are not skipped; and a multi-line HTML comment is parsed as live. Eleven
selector rows are RED because the query surface is not wired yet.

Negative fixtures come from real repo documents that predate the grammar
(CONTEXT.md, CONTRIBUTING.md's fenced env-assignment examples) per the
fixture-provenance rule, and the property generators are document-shaped
rather than seeded from our own serializer.

Refs #1671

* fix(#2928): consume the shared fence scanner, relocate the index, wire the selector

Drives the failing-first matrix green.

Parser: replaces the ported naive triple-backtick toggle with the shared
markdown-sectionizer fence engine. scanFencedBlocks and FencedBlockRecord
gain an export keyword — the only change to that module, which has 71
upstream dependents — because it already returns line-indexed spans, which
is exactly what a line-reporting parser needs. It also already documents
itself as the second copy of the fence state machine pending consolidation;
adding a third copy here would have been the generative-fix divergence this
repo warns about. A parity suite now pins predicate fence-skipping against
that scanner across eight fence shapes. HTML-comment skipping stays local
because the sectionizer has no comment scanner. Declaration forms widen to
indented-bare, star, plus and numbered list items.

Index location: docs/CONTEXT-INDEX.json, not a module under bin/lib. The
remote matrix run caught the original choice — a committed .cjs there ships
~120KB of CONTEXT.md prose into a runtime module, and two content guards
fired truthfully on it (a leaked .claude install path, and four hardcoded
package-name literals). Neither guard was allowlisted; the artifact moved
instead, mirroring docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json. Nothing at runtime needs to
require it — it is a drift-detection artifact, so the selector parses
CONTEXT.md live and is always current.

Generator: adds a frozen REASON enum and --check --json so the gate's
outcome is asserted structurally instead of by matching prose, and
--context-path/--index-path so tests drive the real CLI against a temp tree
with no filesystem monkeypatching.

Selector: gsd_run query context-predicates with --class/--prefix/--contains,
structured output carrying a matched count, own-property guards, and no
project-root resolution. Registering it exposed that the query dispatch
table and the usage string had drifted: a new parity test found 20 routed
commands missing from the usage list, all added here rather than deferred.

* test(#2928): lock the newly-public scanFencedBlocks contract

Exporting scanFencedBlocks made it public API for the first time, so it
needs its own contract test independent of the consumer that motivated the
export. Memtrace's co-change analysis flagged the gap: this suite changes
together with markdown-sectionizer.cts 8 times in 90 days and was absent
from the diff.

Covers the documented rules: 0-based indices, -1 for an unterminated fence,
the same-char/>=length/no-trailing-text closer rule, a shorter fence inside
a longer one staying content, CommonMark 4.5 backtick-in-info-string, and
<=3-space indent tolerance.

Refs #1671

* fix(#2928): address both isolated review passes

Two independent reviewers (correctness axis and security axis, neither the
author) found seven findings. All are fixed here with regression tests; none
deferred.

BLOCKER — comment-blind fence scanning caused silent, permanent predicate
loss. The HTML-comment scan and the fence scan ran as two independent passes,
and the fence scanner is comment-blind, so a fence delimiter inside an HTML
comment with no later close read as an unterminated fence and skipped every
remaining line to EOF. Worse, the drift-guard could not catch it: it diffs
against a baseline produced by the same corrupted parse. The two constructs
now interleave in a single pass so each suppresses the other's boundary
detection while active, covered in both directions. The parity suite still
binds this scanner to markdown-sectionizer's for comment-free documents, so
the two cannot diverge unnoticed.

BLOCKER — the selector was not consumed anywhere, leaving the phase's
acceptance criterion unmet. Now wired into the pre-work predicate-citation
step in contributor-standards, which is the repo's actual brief-assembly
path; no code-level brief assembler exists to wire into.

MAJOR — ReDoS with an unauthenticated CI-hang exploit. The predicate-id
regex nested a dot-containing character class inside a dot-prefixed repeat,
so N consecutive dots had exponentially many partitions: 40 dots took 565ms
and growth was exponential. CI runs this parser over a pull request's own
CONTEXT.md, so any contributor could have hung a shared runner with one
line. Replaced with linear per-segment validation. Doubled-dot ids are now
rejected; the real document contains none.

MAJOR — the duplicate-id gate had only ever been proven on synthetic
fixtures. A test now re-inserts the exact line this branch removed and
asserts the real generator names it.

MAJOR — --check together with --write silently let write win, turning the
gate into a writer; a missing path value resolved to the cwd and leaked an
EISDIR stack trace. Both are now clean usage errors.

MINOR — the hoisted skip-list was exported as a live mutable Set; replaced
with a read-only predicate. MINOR — flag-shaped selector values were
unmatchable; the inline --flag=value form now provides the escape hatch.

76b7d73039 fix(#2733): route gate-passed spec-phase paths into the probe steps (#2779)
* fix(#2733): route gate-passed spec-phase paths into the probe steps

All four gate-passed transitions in spec-phase.md said "Jump to Step 6",
textually bypassing the mandatory Step 5.5 edge-completeness and Step 5.6
prohibition-completeness probes. Steps 5.5/5.6 were spliced between Step 5
and Step 6 by two later feature commits and the pre-existing jumps were
never re-pointed, so no jump instruction in the file reached Step 5.5 at
all and both probes were unreachable dead prose.

Re-point the four gate-passed jumps (lines 129, 162, 168, 170) to Step 5.5.
Control then flows 5.5 -> 5.6 -> 6 as the probes' own preconditions
prescribe. The max-rounds "write anyway" bypasses and the probes' own
"proceed to Step 6" exits are deliberately unchanged.

Add tests/spec-phase-probe-reachability.test.cjs, which derives the
mandatory probe steps from the file's own headings rather than hardcoding
5.5/5.6, so a future spliced-in probe step is covered without editing the
test. It also locks the two coupled constraints: the max-rounds bypass must
not be redirected into a probe, and each probe must keep its own onward exit.

The existing probe contract tests are untouched and still pass; both scope
from the "## Step 5.5"/"## Step 5.6" heading onward and were structurally
incapable of observing the upstream jump text.

* chore(changeset): Fixed fragment for #2779 (spec-phase probe reachability)

* fix(#2733): route Step 5.5's own soft gate into Step 5.6

Round-1 review blocker. The four upstream gate-passed jumps were re-pointed to
Step 5.5, but Step 5.5's own terminal soft gate at :305 still read "proceed to
Step 6" - so the COMMON path (all applicable edges resolved) skipped the
prohibition-completeness probe outright. Same defect class as the four this PR
already fixed, on the success path of the very step being fixed: the SPEC shipped
with an empty Prohibitions section instead of an empty Edge Coverage one.

Its sibling at :393 is byte-identical yet correct, because Step 6 genuinely
follows Step 5.6. Position, not phrasing, is the discriminator.

The guard could not see it: the transition matcher keyed only on the literal
"Jump to Step", and :305 says "proceed to Step". Widened it to a verb alternation
(jump/proceed/continue/go/return/skip + "to Step N", case-insensitive) and
renamed it TRANSITION_RE to match what it now models. This makes the file's own
docstring promise - that a future spliced-in probe is covered without editing the
test - true for a step whose exit is worded differently. Verified no false
positives: the two pre-existing "continue to Step 3/4" transitions are upstream
of both probes but target pre-probe steps, and the max-rounds bypass block
contains no step transitions at all.

Fail-first verified before fixing :305 - with the widened matcher against the
unfixed workflow the guard fails naming exactly "spec-phase.md:305 jumps to Step
6, skipping mandatory Step 5.6", 4 pass / 1 fail; after the fix, 5/5. The two
sibling probe contract tests stay 16/16.

Also from review:

- STEP_HEADING_RE gains an explicit \r? before $. Without it, on a CRLF checkout
  `.` stops before the \r and the unanchored $ fails to match, yielding ZERO
  steps and vacuously passing every assertion in the file. Not live today
  (.gitattributes forces eol=lf) but this repo has a recurring CRLF-regex bug
  class, so the guard no longer leans on it.
- allow-test-rule category corrected to source-text-is-the-product; the previous
  runtime-contract-is-the-product is not one of the six recognized categories
  (CONTRIBUTING.md:609-619).
- changeset body given the documented bold-lead-in form.
- emitted-drift ack reason updated: +8 -> +10 bytes across five transitions
  (31987 -> 31997), DEFAULT tier, cap 40960.

42f4f184c0 fix(#2844): verify-summary ignores future/prose path mentions; resolves project root (#2910)
* fix(#2844): verify-summary binds file-claim extraction to a creation-claim context

verify-summary's Pattern 1 matched any backticked path-like token with no
context check, so a prose mention of a future deliverable (`shared/types.ts`
in a 'next phase will add…' sentence) was checked for existence and its absence
failed the verdict on a healthy phase. #2685 added shape filtering but no
context check.

- src/verify.cts: both extraction patterns now require a claim label on the line
  (Created/Modified/Added/Updated/Edited/key-files). A bare prose mention no
  longer matches; genuine labeled claims still do.
- gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs: remove 'verify-summary' from SKIP_ROOT_RESOLUTION
  so relative claim paths resolve against the project root, not the raw cwd
  (subdirectory invocation no longer manufactures missing files).

Regression tests: prose mention not treated as a claim; prose-only SUMMARY
passes; absent claimed file still fails.

79ed181ec0 fix(#2667): run-with-timeout mediates .cmd/.bat spawns on Windows (CVE-2024-27980); fallow pre-pass names failure kind (#2897)
* fix(#2667): mediate .cmd/.bat/.exe spawns on Windows; split fallow pre-pass failure diagnostic

run-with-timeout spawned .cmd/.bat/.exe commands without shell:true on Windows,
tripping Node's CVE-2024-27980 EINVAL (April 2024 security hardening). The fallow
structural pre-pass then no-op'd silently — a hard execution failure read the same
as 'optional dependency absent'.

(A) gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs runWithTimeout: gate shell:true on
    (win32 && command ends in .cmd/.bat/.exe). Narrow by design — never fires for
    the 7 `bash -c` callers (command is `bash`, no such suffix), so the recorded
    no-shell-for-argv-array security contract (DEFECT.UNBOUNDED-SUBPROCESS) is
    preserved; cmdArgs stays an array. POSIX untouched.
(B) code-review.md fallow pre-pass: name the failure KIND (timeout / spawn failure
    / crash / not-found) so a Windows .cmd spawn failure is not mistaken for an
    absent binary.

Regression test in tests/run-with-timeout.test.cjs gated to win32 (.cmd/.bat/.exe
shims run with exit 0 + non-empty stdout; pre-fix EINVAL → exit 125/empty). POSIX
negative-space test guards the unchanged bash -c callers.

* chore(#2667): changeset fragment

* chore(#2667): backfill changeset PR 2897 + correct body (cmd.exe array, not shell:true)

* fix(#2667): exclude .exe from the win32 spawn-mediation gate; ack code-review.md growth

CI caught two failures on the first push:

1. windows-24: 'exits 124 when the wall-clock budget is exceeded' regressed. The
   gate matched .exe, so the HANG command (node.exe -e 'setTimeout(...)') was
   wrapped in 'cmd.exe /c node.exe ...' — the wrapped child escaped the timeout
   cap's process-group reap (exit 124 never fired; hit the 30s harness backstop)
   AND cmd.exe risked mis-parsing the -e script arg. .exe is INTENTIONALLY
   excluded now: real PE executables spawn fine directly; only .cmd/.bat are the
   CVE-2024-27980 EINVAL cases. The .exe test becomes a negative-space test
   (node.exe spawned directly, exit 0).

2. ubuntu-22: emitted-attribution — code-review.md grew 1177 bytes from the
   #2667 fallow pre-pass failure-KIND case statement; acknowledge it.
