96a82bbffb enhance(#3245): report the detected host runtime in init (#3307)
* test(#3245): failing-first coverage for host runtime detection in init

Locks the behavior epic #2313 Phase 5 must produce before any of it exists: init reports the detected host, explicit GSD_RUNTIME and config runtime still outrank detection, non-Codex sessions are untouched, and nothing is ever written to shared defaults (#2297).

* enhance(#3245): report the detected host runtime in init

init reported agent_runtime: claude inside a Codex session, and resolved agents_dir to the Claude agents root with agents_installed: true — a spuriously healthy triple. Runtime identity was only ever read from GSD_RUNTIME or an explicit runtime in .planning/config.json.

Adds a detection rung beneath both explicit sources, in a new pure module. Codex is identified from its own documented session environment (CODEX_SANDBOX / CODEX_SANDBOX_NETWORK_DISABLED), else an explicitly exported CODEX_HOME whose config.toml exists. The default ~/.codex is never probed: that file exists on every machine that has run Codex, so probing it would misreport other runtimes' sessions.

resolveRuntime keeps its exact contract and all 71 dependents, including formatGsdSlash command-style emission; only withProjectRoot consumes the new rung. Nothing is written on any path (#2297). Explicit config still wins (#2517).

* fix(#3245): make the parity guard real and single-source the marker

Four independent review passes found the generative-fix-divergence guard was vacuous: it asserted agreement at the one input where inferPreferredRuntime and detectHostRuntime do not differ, so it could not fail. It now pins the actual divergence point (CODEX_HOME set, config.toml absent) and records that the asymmetry is deliberate.

The config.toml marker is now single-sourced from update-context.cts and imported, rather than carried independently by two surfaces. tests/helpers.cjs now scrubs CODEX_SANDBOX and CODEX_SANDBOX_NETWORK_DISABLED: GSD reads them, so an ambient Codex session would otherwise make the non-codex control test fail non-deterministically.

Also: detection is throw-safe end to end rather than only around the fs probe; the Windows-join test is replaced with one that can actually fail (trailing-separator, catches hand-rolled concatenation); the #2297 no-write proof now wraps resolveReportedRuntime, the function that ships, across all three ladder outcomes.

d28ab7c8f7 enhance(#3243): sync installed codex .toml model/effort to the passive posture (#3296)
* feat(#3243): sync installed codex .toml model/effort to the passive posture

Implements ADR-2313 D7, and owns the Codex .toml typed IR that Phase 1's
review assigned to this phase.

The IR exists for a structural reason, not tidiness: this phase has to
PARSE these files, and a parser kept bug-compatible with a separate
renderer is the generative-fix-divergence shape this epic already dealt
with once for the model predicate. So Phase 2's parsing MOVES here
rather than being copied — agent-install-check now imports it, and its
test file passing unchanged is the proof the extraction altered nothing.

The load-bearing property is byte-identical round-trip: render(parse(x))
=== x. Without it a sync silently reformats a user's file — line
endings, key order, BOM, trailing newline — turning a two-line repair
into a whole-file diff in their dotfile repo. The IR keeps original
lines and removes targeted ones rather than reconstructing from parsed
fields, which is what makes that property hold.

It also reconciles a real contradiction between Phase 2 and ADR-2313. An
unterminated developer_instructions block: the reader excludes the rest
of the file, deliberately failing toward a false positive, because
misreading prose as a pin only wastes a user's time. The writer must
refuse, because proceeding on a malformed document rewrites it. A false
positive is the safe direction for a reader and the dangerous one for a
writer. So the parse reports the fact and the two consumers branch on
it — one parse, one truth, two policies, instead of two parsers that
agree today.

The sync leaves a legal real-Codex pin and its coupled effort untouched,
reported skipped rather than synced; strips a stale Anthropic or tier
model and an orphaned effort; keeps dry-run as the default; refuses any
file whose parse fails; and skips symlinks exactly as the Claude path
already did. The Claude path itself is byte-identical.

PARSE_REASON.NO_HEADER from the ADR's illustrative snippet is
deliberately not implemented — a missing header is legal, not an error,
so it would be a dead enum member that the enum-lock test then pins.

* fix(#3243): preserve per-line endings and make the codex write atomic

Two findings from an isolated review, both in the write path.

BLOCKER: mixed line endings broke the byte-identical round-trip. `eol`
was a single whole-file flag and split(/\r?\n/) discarded each line's
own terminator, so render re-joined with ONE style and normalized every
line — even with zero strips performed. A file with one CRLF line and
the rest LF came back fully converted. That falsified the A14 guarantee,
violated the design's "must not silently rewrite every line", and made
the CONTEXT.md glossary claim wrong. It was untested because A12 and B15
only cover PURE CRLF; no mixed-ending fixture existed anywhere.

Fixed by keeping each line's terminator alongside its content, so render
is a plain concatenation and a strip removes only the target line and
its own terminator. `eol` survives as informational metadata that render
never reads. Seven fixtures added for the paths nothing exercised:
mixed endings unmodified and with a strip, a lone \r, a file ending on
the block's closing ''' with no newline, multiple trailing newlines, a
BOM-only file, and an empty file.

MINOR, but it contradicted this phase's own contract: the write was
in-place open-truncate, so a failure between truncate and completion
leaves a truncated .toml — exactly what ADR-2313 says must never happen.
The Codex path now writes a sibling temp file and renames over the
target, which is atomic on one filesystem, with cleanup on failure. It
uses the repo's existing retryRenameSync rather than a hand-rolled
rename, and deliberately NOT platformWriteSync, whose normalizeContent
would mangle the very CRLF and trailing-newline bytes the round-trip
property exists to preserve.

The Claude path keeps its in-place write untouched. It has the same
shape, but changing it is not this phase's business and its tests must
stay byte-identical.

B20 previously mocked writeFileSync to throw BEFORE touching anything,
so it proved nothing about a mid-write failure — its passing comment was
true only because of how the mock was built. It now performs a real
truncated write wherever writeFileSync is called, catching both the
naive direct-to-target path and the new temp path, and asserts the
target is byte-identical afterwards with no stray temp file left.

* fix(#3243): preserve the trailing-newline state when stripping a last line

Caught by B17, one of this phase's own tests — the suite working, not a
test problem.

Content is reconstructed as the concatenation of lines[k] +
terminators[k], so a file with no trailing newline has '' as its last
terminator. removeLine spliced out both arrays at the same index, which
is right for a middle line but wrong for the last one: it dropped the
empty terminator and left the PREVIOUS line's newline in place. A file
ending `...\nmodel = "sonnet"` with no trailing newline came back
as `...\n`, gaining a newline the user never wrote.

The new last line now inherits the removed line's terminator, so a
removal leaves the file exactly as if that line had never been written.
Removing the only line yields an empty file rather than a stray
terminator.

Both stripModel and stripReasoningEffort funnel through the one
removeLine, confirmed rather than assumed, so a single fix covers both —
including the row-B7 shape where a stale model and its orphaned effort
are removed in sequence and the second removal targets the last line.

Two of the four new cases are honestly not red-first and say so in
their comments: removing a last line that HAS a trailing newline only
exposes the bug under mixed EOL, since uniform files coincidentally
have equal terminators on both sides; and removing the only line
already degenerated correctly through Array.slice. They are kept as
guards for the new branch rather than dressed up as catches.

* docs(#3243): document the codex repair path and close the loop

How-to: the Codex-400 entry added in Phase 2 told users to re-run the
installer, because that was the only repair available then. It now leads
with `effort sync` and keeps the reinstall as the alternative, with the
reason to prefer one — a reinstall regenerates the agent files
wholesale, so anyone who hand-edited theirs loses those edits. Detect,
preview, apply is now one continuous path in one place.

Reference: docs/COMMANDS.md had no `effort sync` entry at all — the same
gap `validate agents` had in Phase 2, found the same way. The entry
documents BOTH runtimes, because the command genuinely forks on runtime
and describing only the new half would misdescribe it.

The write flag is `--apply`. The design doc and test matrix both said
`--no-dry-run` throughout, which does not exist — verified against the
actual arg parser in gsd-tools.cjs before writing. Documenting a flag
that does not exist is worse than documenting nothing, because it fails
at the moment someone needs it.

Both surfaces state that only the targeted lines are removed and every
other byte is preserved. That is a user-visible guarantee rather than an
implementation note: it is the difference between a two-line diff and a
reformatted file in someone's dotfile repo, it is what the IR's
round-trip property exists to deliver, and writing it down makes it a
contract a future change has to break knowingly.

* fix(#3243): inherit the trailing-newline state, not the line ending style

My previous rule was subtly wrong and this phase's own test caught it.

"The new last line inherits the removed line's terminator" copies the
removed line's STYLE as well as its presence. A26 uses mixed endings on
purpose — line one terminated \r\n, the model line terminated \n — so
inheriting silently rewrote line one's ending to \n. That is precisely
the defect class the mixed-EOL blocker fix existed to eliminate,
reintroduced one layer down by the fix for it.

The correct rule inherits the EMPTINESS only. If the removed line had no
terminator, the new last line loses its own, preserving "this file has
no trailing newline". Otherwise the new last line keeps its own
terminator: it is already a newline, and already the right style for
that line.

A26's assertion moved too, and that deserves saying plainly rather than
burying: it previously encoded my wrong rule. Changing a test to match
the implementation is usually the mistake, so it was checked from first
principles instead — a file whose first line ends \r\n and whose last
line ends \n, with that last line removed entirely, must be the first
line with its own \r\n intact. The new expectation is what the user's
file should actually look like; the old one was wrong.

A29 adds the interaction nothing covered: the compounding case (strip a
stale model, then its orphaned effort, the second removal landing on the
last line) with non-uniform endings either side. The two fixes meet
there and nothing exercised the meeting point.

* fix(#3243): drop the phantom trailing line from the IR representation

Root cause, not another patch on the removal rule. Three consecutive
fixes there each surfaced the next issue, which was the signal that the
data model was wrong.

splitPreservingTerminators left a phantom empty final entry for any file
ending in a newline: "a\nb\n" became lines ['a','b','']. So for the
common case the real last content line was NOT the last array element,
removeLine's isLastLine check never matched it, and every rule I gave
was reasoning about the wrong element.

What hid it: render was already a plain concatenation, so a phantom
empty line with an empty terminator contributes nothing to the output.
A14's byte-identical round-trip could never have caught it — the defect
is byte-neutral until a removal shifts the index arithmetic under it.
That is worth recording, because "the round-trip test is green" was
exactly the reassurance that kept the search pointed elsewhere.

The representation is now 1:1 — terminators[i] follows lines[i] and may
be '' — with no phantom, verified across empty, no-trailing-newline,
trailing-newline, blank-line and mixed-CRLF inputs. render stays a plain
concat and needs no special cases. With the phantom gone the removal
rule is correct as stated and finally applies to the genuinely last
element.

Consumers checked rather than assumed: the block-range detector and
header scanner are agnostic to array shape, and Phase 2's reader uses
its own independent split, so tests/agent-install-check.test.cjs is
untouched and still passes unchanged.

One test expectation was wrong and is corrected rather than quietly
adjusted: A18 asserted a 7-element terminators array whose trailing ''
was the phantom itself. It now asserts the six real terminators, which
is what the invariant lines.length === terminators.length requires.

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.

693f12ad56 refactor(#3187): give state field extraction one canonical owner (#3283)
* refactor(#3187): give state field extraction one canonical owner

stateFieldValue in state-document.cts becomes the single owner of the #1760
frontmatter-then-body fallback chain. The new whole-repo guard found 14
independent re-derivations where the epic scoped 5, all now routed through it:
cmdStateSnapshot (11), cmdStatePrune (2) and smart-entry fmScalar (1).

state validate was a gate that could not fail. Every warning it could emit sat
behind a phase resolved without the frontmatter tier, so a STATE.md whose phase
lives only in frontmatter skipped the drift scan entirely and returned
valid:true. It also read unstripped content, letting a frontmatter status: key
shadow the body field (#1255 class). Both fixed; output gains a scope field so
could-not-look stops being output-identical to looked-and-clean.

Verified on the remote runner.

* docs(#3187): document the state validate scope field and its reason codes

Adds docs/how-to/interpret-state-validate-results.md so a reader can tell
nothing-to-report from could-not-look, updates the COMMANDS.md and USER-GUIDE.md
entries, corrects the CONTEXT.md glossary overstatement about Current Position
sole ownership, and drops the changeset fragment.

* fix(#3187): close three drift-guard evasion shapes and test the refuse path

The isolated adversarial review found the ladder detector was evadable by
ordinary reformatting, not just deliberately: a member or computed operand
(fm.key / fm[key]) missed the bare-identifier backreference, a swapped tier
order missed a hardcoded number-then-boolean sequence, and a ladder wrapped
across lines missed single-line detection. All three now caught, each with its
own test plus a proven boundary control.

The frontmatter-parse refuse path on the destructive complete-phase route was
unreachable and therefore untested. It is now driven by an injected parse
failure and asserts STATE.md is byte-identical after the refusal, rather than
shipping untested defensive code on a path that rewrites user state.

Verified on the remote runner.

* fix(#3187): widen the drift guard to the prompt layer and disclose tier-2 changes

The code-review spec axis found the guard's scan surface was src/ only, which is
Decision 4(d)'s forbidden allowlist one directory wide - and it had a live miss:
gsd-core/workflows/smart-entry.md tells an agent to read status from frontmatter
or the body, a prose expression of this same chain. The surface now covers the
prompt layer. That one site carries a permanent written exemption rather than a
ratchet: it is the gsd-tools-is-down fallback, so it cannot call the owner by
construction, and a ratchet would imply removable debt that does not exist.

Two tier-2 output changes shipped undisclosed and are now named in the changeset
and docs: complete-phase's idempotency guard consulting frontmatter, and the
workstream inventory resolving frontmatter-only fields. docs/COMMANDS.md gains a
state complete-phase entry, which it never had.

Also records Amendment 5 on ADR-3180, extracts the duplicated frontmatter-parse
block the epic's own thesis forbids, and re-points two assertions from free-form
warning prose onto the structured drift object.

Verified on the remote runner.

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.

4a1ed2531f enhance(#3242): validate codex .toml model posture, not just presence (#3290)
* test(#3242): failing-first suite for the codex posture health-check

Specifies ADR-2313 D6 before the implementation exists, so the tests
bind to the contract rather than to whatever the code happens to do.

RED is established by construction, not by a remote run:
checkCodexModelPosture and POSTURE_REASON are absent from the compiled
lib today, so every row fails on the missing export. A remote checkpoint
here would prove only that the function is missing, which is already
known — so the run is deliberately deferred to the combined green
checkpoint rather than spent proving a tautology.

That makes the NEGATIVE PROOFS the rows that carry real signal. Every
positive row passes even for a naive implementation that greps
/model\s*=/ over the whole file. Six rows fail it: light-tier
service_tier/model_verbosity decoupling (#774), hand-added keys, a
commented pin, the model_verbosity key-prefix collision, the runtime
no-op ordering, and the headline case — a literal `model = "sonnet"`
inside the developer_instructions ''' block, which the emitter fills
with agent prompts that discuss models constantly.

Row 14's fixture was verified to discriminate before being written: a
whole-file scan matches it and a header-slice scan does not. Without
that check the test would pass trivially and prove nothing, which is the
vacuous-test failure this epic has already hit repeatedly.

Adversarial TOML fixtures are hand-authored against the real Codex shape
rather than generated by generateCodexAgentToml, per #2371 — a fixture
from the writer can only confirm what the writer already believed.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(#3242): validate codex .toml model posture, not just presence

Implements ADR-2313 D6. checkCodexModelPosture is a new sibling export,
not a branch inside checkAgentsInstalled — that function carries 33
upstream dependents, cyclomatic 25, and sits in two traced process
flows, so it is deliberately left untouched.

It imports isAnthropicFlavoredModel from model-catalog, a genuine leaf.
That is what Phase 1's constant move bought: agent-install-check is
documented as pure read/verify and imports only leaves, so reaching the
rule through model-resolver would have dragged config-loader into it.

Reads liberally, judges strictly, and never guesses. Tolerates comments,
key order, whitespace, CRLF, and a BOM; anchors on full key names so
model_verbosity does not satisfy a `model` probe; treats extra
hand-added keys as none of its business, since the check is a predicate
on the two fields the posture owns rather than a whitelist over the
document. An unreadable file becomes a named violation and the loop
keeps going.

The scan covers only the header slice — the lines before the
developer_instructions ''' marker. The emitter writes agent prompts into
that block and GSD's prompts discuss models constantly, so a whole-file
scan reports violations for prose. This is the highest-risk defect in
the phase and the reason its fixture was verified to discriminate before
being written.

The non-codex short-circuit runs before any filesystem call, so a stray
.toml under another runtime is never inspected.

Wired through cmdValidateAgents as an additive codex_posture key, so a
violating install is visible from a command a user actually runs rather
than only from a library nothing calls.

Also fixes a test defect found while implementing: .gitattributes forces
`* text=auto eol=lf` repo-wide, so the committed CRLF fixture was
normalized to LF in the index — `git ls-files --eol` reported `i/lf
w/crlf`, the working copy being stale pre-normalization bytes. The CRLF
row was asserting against a file that could not survive a fresh clone.
CRLF is now derived at runtime, which puts it under the test's control
rather than git's, instead of adding a .gitattributes exception that
fights a deliberate repo-wide policy and that anyone could re-normalize.

* docs(#3242): document the codex posture check where a user will look

Three quadrants, filed by where the reader actually arrives.

How-to (recover-and-troubleshoot.md, under Install and update problems)
is titled by the SYMPTOM — "If Codex agents fail to spawn with a 400
about an unsupported model" — and opens with the verbatim error string.
Someone hitting this does not know the words "posture" or "ADR-2313";
they have a 400 in their terminal and will search for that.

Reference (COMMANDS.md) had no `validate agents` entry at all, though
sibling gsd-tools subcommands are documented. Adding user-visible output
to an undocumented command and then linking to it from the new how-to
would have left a dangling reference. The entry carries the
violation-reason table, since the frozen POSTURE_REASON enum is the
machine-readable contract a reader needs rather than the prose.

Both surfaces state that presence and posture are separate verdicts — a
missing agent lands in `missing`, never as a posture violation. That is
a deliberate design decision and would otherwise be invisible to someone
watching one command emit both.

Explanation stays in ADR-2313, which already covers D6 and the
liberal-parse/strict-judge boundary. Pointing at it beats duplicating it
into COMMANDS.md and creating two copies to drift.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#3242): close two false negatives in the posture scan

Both found by an isolated reviewer and reproduced before fixing. Both
made the check report clean when it was not — the worst direction for
this function, since the how-to tells users an empty violations list
means the install is posture-clean.

A quoted TOML key was never matched. `"model" = "sonnet"` is legal TOML,
but the key pattern required a bare identifier, so the pin was silently
invisible. Bare, "double" and 'single' quoted forms now normalize to the
same key name.

The block marker was found by unanchored whole-content search and used
to truncate the header. A `description` value merely containing the
literal text `developer_instructions = '''` truncated the scan before a
real pin, and a user who hand-reordered `model` to sit after the block —
still legal TOML — was never scanned at all.

Fixed by changing the strategy rather than the regex: find the block's
range, anchored at line start, and scan every line OUTSIDE it. That
covers both failures and is strictly more correct than truncation, while
still never reading prompt prose. An unterminated block excludes the
rest of the file, which fails toward a false positive — the safe
direction, since misreading prose as a pin wastes a user's time while
the alternative hides a real one.

Also corrects two overclaims of mine. The how-to named "v1.11", a
version that does not exist — package.json is 1.10.0 and unreleased — so
it now describes the boundary by behavior and links the ADR. And the
test matrix asserted that a naive whole-file scan "fails exactly rows
12,13,14,15,16,25"; the reviewer computed that rows 12, 13, 15 and 16
produce the correct result against that baseline too. They guard real
but *different* mistakes, and the matrix now says which one each catches
instead of attributing them all to the header-slice defect.

* fix(#3242): skip symlinked agent files instead of following them

Security review finding. The scan listed entries with readdirSync and
read them with readFileSync, which follows symlinks — so a symlink in
the agents directory pointing anywhere would have its contents read, and
any line matching the model pattern echoed into cmdValidateAgents'
output through the `value` field. A read-and-echo primitive on an
arbitrary path.

It needs write access to the agents directory, so it crosses no new
trust boundary today. Fixed anyway, for two reasons.

This repo already does it correctly next door: cmdEffortSync filters
with lstatSync().isFile() and the comment "Skip symlinks — only write
regular files to avoid clobbering symlink targets." Being inconsistent
with a sibling in the same subsystem IS the defect.

And Phase 3 (#3243) extends that same cmdEffortSync to WRITE these
files. Establishing symlink-following as the house pattern for Codex
.toml handling here would hand Phase 3 a worse starting point while it
writes rather than reads.

Skipped silently rather than reported, matching the sibling: a symlinked
agent file is a structural install choice, which checkAgentsInstalled
owns, not a model-content posture defect. An lstat that itself throws
excludes the file rather than crashing the scan.

That does narrow the guarantee slightly, so the how-to now says an empty
list means every REGULAR .toml is clean, and tells anyone symlinking
their configs to check the targets by hand. Claiming a clean bill of
health over files the check declined to open would be the same kind of
false confidence the two false negatives above produced.

c2f24265f2 feat(#2870): resolve install scope as a value (#3278)
* test(#2870): failing-first suite for the Install Scope Module

19 tests over the 50-test-matrix rows 1-19. RED by construction: the
module under test does not exist yet, so the suite fails at require with
MODULE_NOT_FOUND until src/install-scope.cts lands.

Every row asserts a returned value with injected env/home/existsSync --
no filesystem, per the issue's acceptance criterion that tests assert the
resolved value directly.

Row 7 asserts the RELATION rank(global) > rank(local) rather than a
literal, so Phase 2 (#2871) can re-base the numbers without a fixture
edit. Row 4 iterates the real runtime registry rather than a hardcoded
list, excluding vscode, which declares configHome.kind none and is never
CLI-installed.

* feat(#2870): add the Install Scope Module

Scope becomes one resolved value instead of a bare string re-derived at
every layer. resolveScope({id, runtime, ...}) returns
{id, configHome, settingsFile, consentRequired, hostPrecedenceRank}.

It COMPOSES resolveConfigHomeFromDescriptor rather than extending it.
That function has 60 dependents across 13 files and 2 process flows -- a
CRITICAL blast radius -- so adding a scope parameter to it, which the
issue's framing invites, would ripple through all of them. Composing
costs nothing and leaves every existing caller byte-identical.

The module owns the InstallScope type name, which previously lived
privately in runtime-artifact-install-plan.cts; that module now imports
it. A fifth spelling of the same concept would have defeated the phase.

settingsFile is null for the 18 runtimes that declare no
settingsFileByScope -- absence is a value, not an error, and inventing a
Claude-shaped default would leak that host's shape onto every other one.

hostPrecedenceRank ships unread: Phase 2 (#2871) is its first consumer.
It is carried as data only, per this issue's out-of-scope note that
precedence semantics belong to that phase.

Vocabulary: the install axis standardizes on local. ConsentRecord.scope
keeps project deliberately -- that literal is serialized into consent
records in the user's home, and renaming it would silently deactivate
every project-scoped capability on the machine. CONTEXT.md records the
boundary mapping instead.

Every environmental input is injectable (env, home, existsSync, cwd), so
the resolved value is assertable with no filesystem at all.

Registration ripple: .gitignore, eslint.config.mjs, CONTEXT.md glossary,
docs/INVENTORY.md, and the inventory manifest (regenerated after
build:lib, never before).

Verified via the remote runner.

* refactor(#2870): route scope re-derivations through the module

bin/install.js resolves scope once per function instead of inline at
each of its 12 sites, and the settingsFileByScope consumer reads it
through resolveScope().

Seven downstream boolean re-derivations now call the module's
isGlobalScope() instead of comparing the literal independently:
runtime-artifact-install-plan, both runtime-artifact-layout kind
builders, dispatchKindEntry, surface, and two install-engine sites. The
fifth through seventh were not named in the issue -- they are the same
re-derivation class, and leaving them would have made the acceptance
criterion false.

_computePathPrefix keeps its isGlobal boolean API, so the projection is
centralized rather than eliminated. resolveScope and isGlobalScope share
one validator, so the two surfaces cannot drift.

TWO SITES DELIBERATELY NOT ROUTED: runtime-artifact-conversion's
rewriteStagedSkillBodies and rewriteStagedCommandBodies. ADR-1508 fixes
the direction as installer/layout -> conversion, never upward, and
install-scope composes runtime-homes, so importing it into the
conversion module would invert that direction. Left as-is on purpose.

Behavior-preserving throughout. Each step was proven by capturing full
layout and plan output -- including every kind's home field and the
hashed contents of emitted files -- before and after, across both scopes
for claude, codex, opencode, hermes, kimi and kilo. Byte-identical.

surface.cts keeps a scope ?? 'global' default before the call because
Layout.scope is optional there; isGlobalScope throws where the old
inline compare returned false, and that difference would have been a
placement regression.

Verified via the remote runner.

* fix(#2870): cover the no-config-home throw and document the strictness

Two findings from the isolated adversarial review.

The vscode case was implemented but untested. resolveScope throws for a
runtime whose descriptor declares configHome.kind 'none', which is the
design's own behavior-table row 13, but the registry sweep excluded
vscode rather than asserting the throw -- so the behavior shipped with
no test. The exclusion is now legitimate because the case has its own
test naming the runtime in the assertion.

isGlobalScope throws where the inline compare it replaced returned
false. No reachable caller can deliver an out-of-union value today, but
the types are not enforced at runtime, so a future caller passing an
optional Layout.scope would crash rather than silently misroute. That is
the better failure -- misrouting writes artifacts to the wrong place --
but it was undocumented, so the reason is now on the function.

Adds the changeset the acceptance criteria require.

* refactor(#2870): route the last two sites; correct the ADR-1508 claim

The previous commit declined to route runtime-artifact-conversion's
rewriteStagedSkillBodies and rewriteStagedCommandBodies, claiming
ADR-1508's dependency direction forbade the import. That reasoning was
wrong, and this commit corrects it.

Two independent reviewers checked the actual import graph:
runtime-artifact-conversion already imports capability-registry,
command-roster, runtime-name-policy and shell-command-projection -- it
depends on leaf-tier siblings today. install-scope imports only
runtime-homes plus node builtins, and runtime-homes imports only node
builtins, so there is no cycle at any depth. ADR-1508 governs the
installer/layout to conversion boundary, not a leaf-to-leaf sibling
import of the same shape conversion already makes.

With those two routed, every isGlobal re-derivation in the tree now goes
through one owner and acceptance criterion 1 is fully met rather than
partially. Nine sites, not the four the issue enumerated.

Also from the review:

Tests were falling through to the real process.cwd() at five local-scope
call sites, which contradicts the acceptance criterion that the resolved
value be assertable with no filesystem. Every one now injects a cwd. One
of the five was a site the review had not spotted.

bin/install.js carried two near-identical copies of the guarded
resolveScope block, one in install() and one in uninstall() -- duplicated
scope logic in the phase whose purpose is removing it. Extracted to one
helper, and the new sites use the file's existing ternary idiom rather
than the if/else that replaced it.

Equivalence re-proven across both scopes for claude, codex, opencode,
kilo and hermes, now including the staged skill and command body
rewrites hashed per file, since those decide the literal spec-root path
baked into every emitted artifact. Byte-identical.

Verified via the remote runner.

* fix(#2870): assert configHome portably instead of with a native separator

The windows-latest node24 shard failed on two install-scope assertions.
The module was right and the tests were wrong: they built their expected
value with path.join, which emits \fake\home\.claude on Windows, while
resolveScope normalizes separators unconditionally to /fake/home/.claude.

That unconditional normalization is deliberate -- backslash paths arrive
on Linux too, so normalizing via path.sep is the documented defect this
repo guards against. Weakening it to make the assertion pass would have
inverted the fix.

Every path.join-built expectation in the suite now goes through
toPosixPath from tests/helpers.cjs, which is the pattern the
no-path-literal-in-assert rule's own valid-case list sanctions. It splits
on the running platform's path.sep and rejoins with forward slashes, so
it reverses whatever path.join produced on that same platform and the
expectation is invariant everywhere.

Two more call sites had the same latent problem and passed on Linux and
macOS by luck; they are fixed too.

This is the class of defect the remote runner structurally cannot catch
-- its matrix is Linux-only, so a green pass there is not evidence of
portability, and CI's Windows lane is the only place it surfaces.

Verified via the remote runner.

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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

58d73dd220 enhance(#3241): omit the codex per-agent model by default (#3276)
* test(#3241): failing-first suite for the codex passive model posture

Locks ADR-2313's D1-D5 before any production code exists, so the tests
bind to the behavior rather than to whatever the implementation happens
to do.

Red-first (fail against the current tree):
  - the resolver path emits no `model` and no `model_reasoning_effort`
  - a whitespace-only model_overrides value yields no pin
  - isAnthropicFlavoredModel / CLAUDE_AGENT_ALIASES on model-catalog
  - the one-time install notice, and its once-per-install dedupe

Regression guards (pass today, must keep passing): resolver-null via
`inherit` and via absent runtime; a resolver that resolves to nothing;
empty-string and non-string overrides; and the light-tier
service_tier/model_verbosity fields, which are NOT coupled to the model
pin and would silently regress if the implementation coupled them.

Classifying each test as red-first or regression guard is deliberate.
A test that passes on both sides of the change proves nothing, and this
epic has already shipped two such rows before catching them.

The whitespace case is a live defect, not a quirk: `'   '` is truthy,
survives the type guard, is not Anthropic-flavored, and is embedded
verbatim as `model = "   "` — the same class the #2310 guard exists to
stop. Same function, same path, fixed in this phase per CLAUDE.md §3.

Two matrix rows were dropped as vacuous rather than shipped green: a
64-char truncation case (the pinned notice interpolates no
user-controlled value, so it cannot exhibit truncation) and a newline
hazard that the input surface cannot reach.

* feat(#3241): omit the codex per-agent model by default

Implements ADR-2313 D1-D5. generateCodexAgentToml no longer embeds the
runtime resolver's per-tier Codex model, so an agent inherits the
always-available session model instead of a pin a ChatGPT-account Codex
may not expose. model_reasoning_effort disappears with it via the
existing hasPinnedModel coupling (#838) — no logic change needed there.

Supersedes #2517's embedding on the default path only. An explicit
real-Codex model_overrides pin is still embedded verbatim, and the #2310
Anthropic-flavored guard is retained: the model_overrides route to it is
still live even though the resolver route is now unreachable.

The shared rule moves down a layer. CLAUDE_AGENT_ALIASES leaves
model-resolver for model-catalog — a genuine leaf importing only
node:path and its own JSON — with isAnthropicFlavoredModel defined beside
it, and is re-exported from model-resolver so every existing importer is
untouched. This is what lets Phase 2's install-check and Phase 3's sync
consume the rule without taking the config-loader dependency
model-resolver would have dragged into a module documented as pure
read/verify with 33 dependents. A parity test fails if the two ever fork.

Also fixes a live defect surfaced while writing the tests: a
whitespace-only model_overrides value was truthy, survived the type
guard, was not Anthropic-flavored, and so was embedded verbatim as
`model = "   "` — the same class the #2310 guard exists to stop, reached
by a different route. Trimmed before the truthiness test. It is
deliberately not routed through _warnCodexModelOverrideDropped, whose
text would misdescribe a blank field as a mis-typed model.

Adds the one-time install notice (maintainer direction, recorded as an
ADR-2313 amendment): one stderr line naming model_overrides and the
session model, deduped per install rather than per agent, and emitted
only for the population that actually loses a pin.

service_tier and model_verbosity stay decoupled from the model (#774);
a regression guard asserts they still emit with nothing pinned.

* docs(#3241): amend ADR-2313, add the model-catalog glossary entry

ADR-2313 gains two dated amendments rather than edits to its merged
text, since ADRs here are append-only.

The first records that a deprecation notice IS offered, reversing the
Migration section's "no deprecation window" position, and states why
that position was wrong rather than just superseding it: the ADR
identified the API-key population as losing something real and then
declined to warn it, in the same document. Hyrum's guidance was applied
to the recourse and not to the notice.

The second records the whitespace-only model_overrides defect and notes
that D2 always implied the fix — the implementation simply never
enforced it and no test covered the case.

CONTEXT.md gains a Model Catalog Module entry. The module had none,
which is why the glossary gate passed without one: check-glossary-refs
verifies that references resolve, not that modules are documented. The
entry records why the Anthropic-flavored rule lives there rather than in
model-resolver, so a later reader does not "helpfully" move it back. The
Model Resolver entry is updated to point at its new home and note the
back-compat re-export.

docs/CONFIGURATION.md carried a claim that is now false: that the
resolved tier ID is embedded into agent frontmatter at install time on
codex and opencode. Corrected to name codex as the exception, with the
400 symptom and the model_overrides recourse.

Changeset leads with the user-visible change and the migration line
rather than the implementation, per the ADR's Hyrum's-Law analysis.

* fix(#3241): only notice a lost pin when one was actually embeddable

Review finding from an isolated reviewer. The deprecation notice gated
on whether the runtime resolver would have returned *any* model, but the
question that matters is whether that model would have been *embedded*.

Those differ. The #2310 safety gate already rejected an Anthropic-
flavored model arriving from the resolver path before Phase 1 — so for a
mixed-runtime config resolving to a claude-* id against a Codex install
target, the user never had that pin. The notice told them they lost
something they never got, and pointed them at model_overrides for no
reason.

The existing #2310 test drives exactly that path but asserts only the
emitted `model` line, never stderr, which is why it slipped through. Now
covered.

Deliberately unchanged: an Anthropic-flavored model_overrides value plus
a legal resolver model fires BOTH the override warning and the notice.
That is correct — pre-Phase-1 the guard dropped the override, execution
fell through to the resolver, and the resolver's model was embedded, so
that user did lose a pin. Two messages, two distinct true facts, and the
prefixes differ (`gsd: warning — ` vs `gsd: notice — `) so the
one-notice-per-install contract holds. A regression test now pins that
behavior so it does not get "simplified" away.

Of the three tests added, only the first is red-first; the other two
pass on both sides by design and are labelled as guards — one against
over-correcting the fix into silence, one against removing the
intentional double message.

* fix(#3241): reset the notice dedupe via a seam, not a require.cache bust

The remote runner caught a regression I introduced: the #2760
post-write-validation test began failing with the validator override no
longer intercepting.

Cause, confirmed by trace rather than guessed: the new #3241 review
tests deleted require.cache for bin/install.js and re-required it mid
suite, to clear the notice's module-level dedupe flag. But
runCodexInstall destructures `install` at file load, closing over the
ORIGINAL module's exports. After the cache bust a second instance
existed, so the test's `installModule.__codexSchemaValidator = ...`
mutated the new object while the code under test still called the old
one. The override silently stopped intercepting, the real validator ran
and passed on GSD-emitted output, and the abort-and-restore path was
never exercised.

Cache-busting a module mid-suite breaks every later test that assumes a
single instance, which every other test in the file is entitled to. So
the fix is a seam, not a workaround: bin/install.js exports
_resetCodexNoticeDedupeForTests(), and the three tests call it directly
instead of reloading the module.

The flag is module-level by design — the dedupe is per-install and
install() already resets it — so a unit test driving
generateCodexAgentToml directly needs an explicit way to reset it. That
is now what it has.

Swept the rest of the #3241 diff for the same hazard; this flag was the
only shared module-level state introduced.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#3241): reset both codex dedupe stores, not just the notice flag

Second incomplete fix, same class one layer down. bin/install.js keeps
TWO module-level dedupe stores and the require.cache bust I removed had
been papering over both; my replacement seam cleared only one.

_codexModelOverrideDroppedWarned is a Set keyed `${agent}::${value}`.
tests/codex-config.test.cjs:558 already emits for `gsd-executor::sonnet`,
so by the time the review test using the same agent and value ran,
_warnCodexModelOverrideDropped was a silent no-op and the expected
warning never appeared.

The seam now clears both stores and is renamed to say so. Its comment
records that per-install dedupe lives in module scope deliberately and
that this is the single sanctioned way for a unit test to clear it.

Swept bin/install.js for every other module-scope mutable a test could
latch. Two are inert (capability registries assigned once at require
time; selectedRuntimes computed once from argv). One is a genuine latent
hazard and is deliberately NOT folded in: attributionCache (:1654)
memoizes getCommitAttribution by runtime name for process lifetime, so
two in-process installs of one runtime with differing attribution config
would collide. It is unreachable from any current test and is a
different concern from Codex warning dedupe, so it stays out of this PR
rather than widening it.

* docs(#3241): correct the codex tier-routing how-to

The docs gate forced the task-oriented quadrant and found the worst
defect in this change's documentation surface.

docs/how-to/configure-model-profiles.md carried a section titled "If you
want tiered models on Codex" telling users to set runtime:codex +
model_profile:balanced, promising "GSD resolves each tier alias to the
Codex-native model and reasoning effort defined in the runtime tier
map." That is exactly the behavior this PR removes — a how-to page
confidently instructing users to do something that no longer works,
which is worse than a missing page because it fails at the moment of
use.

Rewritten to state that Codex does no tier routing, give the
model_overrides pin as the supported alternative, and name the two
constraints on what may be pinned: it must be a real Codex model id, and
the account must actually expose it — GSD cannot verify the second, so
the honest advice when unsure is to omit the pin. Carries an upgrade
note for both account types, since the change is a no-op for ChatGPT
accounts and a real loss for API-key ones.

Also tightened the same page's claim that Codex "embeds the resolved
model" at install time — now true only of an explicit override. The
re-install instruction it supports is still correct and still needed, so
only the premise moved.

Both the required-docs set (COMMANDS.md + FEATURES.md) and
lint-docs-required.cjs would have passed before this commit, since
CONFIGURATION.md and the ADR had already moved. Neither checks the
quadrant a user in trouble actually opens.

a5706bd39d enhance(#2596): validate a wave branch's committed diff stays in its declared scope (#3264)
* test(#2596): failing-first suite for worktree-wave scope conformance

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.

f96cb44f85 enhance(#3248): disclose capability skills as an instruction surface (#3253)
* test(#3248): failing-first suite for instruction-surface disclosure

28 matrix rows from 50-test-matrix.md. Rows requiring the new
Disclosure.instructionSurfaces field fail today; rows 18-20/23-25 (the
ADR-2363 D4 signature invariants) pass today by construction because the
current code never reads skills/agents at all, and stand as regression
guards for the implementation commit.

Refs #3248

* feat(#3248): disclose capability skills and agents as an instruction surface

ADR-2363 D5. A capability whose only contribution was skills disclosed
nothing at install: summarizeDisclosure early-returned "ships no executable
surfaces (declarative only)" because hasExecutable was false, while each
SKILL.md body landed verbatim in the agent's instruction context.

discloseExecutableSurfaces gains a fifth, NON-executable class,
instructionSurfaces, collecting declared skills/agents stems through the same
safeCollect wrapper as the four existing collectors, so a hostile value
degrades only this class and the function stays total for any manifest shape.
Nothing existing is edited: the collectors, hasExecutable, disclosureSignature
and missingArtifacts are untouched. get_impact rates the symbol CRITICAL at
196 affected, which is why the design is strictly additive.

D4 is implemented by omission and pinned rather than left incidental: adding,
changing or removing skills/agents leaves disclosureSignature byte-identical,
so no stored consent record is perturbed and no spurious re-consent fires.
ADR-2782's conditional-append trick is deliberately NOT reused - it worked
because no manifest could declare a reviewer body before that class existed,
whereas skills predate this one, so a conditional append would re-sign every
already-consented skill-bearing capability.

The renderer is extracted as summarizeInstructionSurfaces and called from BOTH
branches of summarizeDisclosure. Appending only at the end would never render
for skill-only capabilities - the ones that need it - since those take the
early return. That branch's "declarative only" claim is now conditional on
there being no instruction surface either. The renderer iterates rather than
spreading into push, so an unbounded stem count cannot throw RangeError, and
tolerates the bare {} the CLI edge passes via `res.disclosure || {}`.

Scope note: #3248's prose says "skill stems"; ADR-2363 D3 classifies
instruction surfaces as "skills, agents". Shipping skills alone would leave an
ADR deliverable owned by no phase, and the epic has no Phase 2. Agents are the
same shape at no extra cost. Narrowing back is a two-line change.

Ratifies ADR-2363 (Proposed -> Accepted) and adds the owed ADR-1244 back-link.

Closes #3248

* fix(#3248): escape consent-prompt values and narrow disclosure to skills

Two review findings, both of which made the previous commit wrong.

BLOCKER (isolated adversarial review). Every manifest-supplied value
interpolated into a consent-prompt line was rendered unescaped. Those lines
are joined with \n and written RAW to stderr on the needs-consent path
(capability-command-router -> cli-exit runMain), so a stem carrying a newline
forged additional lines indistinguishable from genuine GSD disclosure text,
and an ANSI escape could clear or rewrite lines already printed. That defeats
the informed-consent guarantee this change exists to provide, and is a
prompt-injection vector against any agent that reads the stderr text to decide
whether to retry with --yes.

The hole was not unique to the new class - hook event/script, command
family/module/router, every MCP field, and every reviewer-lane field were
equally unescaped. Fixing only the new one would have created the
generative-fix divergence this repo tracks, so renderValueForPrompt is applied
to all five classes through one helper, guarded by a parity test that fails if
a future class skips it. Escaping is identity for ordinary names, so no
well-formed manifest's output changes. The disclosure OBJECT stays verbatim -
only the rendered LINE is escaped - because the signature and every consumer
reasoning about identity depend on the declared value.

NARROWED to skills only. The previous commit also collected agents, arguing
ADR-2363 D3 classifies instruction surfaces as "skills, agents". Verified
against staging: stageSkillsForRuntimeAsSkills takes a registry and unions
third-party skills in via readInstalledCapabilitySkill, while
stageAgentsForRuntimeWithConverter takes only a source directory and has no
registry-aware path. Third-party agents are never staged into the instruction
context, so disclosing them would have put a false claim in a security prompt -
worse than the scope creep two reviewers flagged it as. D3's classification
stands; D5 now records that Phase 1 implements the skills half and that
whether agents should be staged at all is an open maintainer question.

Also reverts the premature ADR-2363 ratification. The previous commit flipped
it to Accepted and asserted "#3248 merged" while this branch IS #3248 and is
unmerged. Status returns to Proposed, and the ADR-1244 back-link - owed only on
ratification - is withdrawn.

Adds the fast-check property suite CLAUDE.md requires and the direct precedent
(reviewer-trust-disclosure) already had: totality, D4 signature invariance, D3
hasExecutable invariance, and renderer totality over adversarial manifests.

Refs #3248

* chore(#3248): correct changeset scope claim and backfill pr number

The fragment was written against the pre-narrowing commit and still
advertised 'skills and agents'. 4d26887e narrowed disclosure to skills
only - third-party agents are never staged into the instruction context -
but did not touch the fragment, so the release notes would have carried a
claim the code does not implement.

Also backfills pr:0 -> 3253 and names the prompt-escaping fix, which is
user-visible and was absent from the original body.

Changeset-only; no code or test changed, so the gsd-test pass recorded for
4d26887e still describes this tree's behavior.

70e50eb1b2 chore(#3235): hoist the preamble-strip conditional out of the replace operand (#3236)
* chore(#3235): hoist the preamble-strip conditional out of the replace operand

CodeQL js/identity-replacement (alert 53, medium, CWE-116) fired on
src/roadmap-parser.cts:637. The #2947 fix (2bc53baa0) made the preamble
phase-detail strip conditional by swapping the REGEX OPERAND rather than the
operation, using `/$/` as a "match nothing" sentinel:

  .replace(currentSectionHasPhaseDetails ? /^#{2,4}\s*Phase\s+.../gim : /$/, '')

`str.replace(/$/, '')` substitutes the zero-width end-of-input match with the
empty string, so the branch is inert. Behavior was correct; the hazard is that
both branches shared ONE replacement argument, so a later change of `''` to a
non-empty string would silently give the no-op branch a real effect -- on a seam
whose blast radius is CRITICAL (200+ affected symbols, 45 files, 22 processes).

Hoist the conditional around the .replace() call instead. The do-not-strip
branch now performs no replacement at all. The `Phase Details` heading strip
stays UNCONDITIONAL in both branches, which is what #730 depends on.

Equivalence is not asserted, it is measured: a deterministic-seed differential
probe compared the old and new formulations over 320 generated inputs x both
branch values -- 640 comparisons, 0 mismatches. Corpus covered empty string,
CRLF, heading depths 1-5, the #1729 pre-colon tag form, decimal phase IDs,
`## Phase Details`, fenced blocks and horizontal rules.

Six characterization tests pin both branches, including the one case no existing
#2947 fixture covers: that the unconditional `Phase Details` strip still runs on
the do-not-strip branch. Boundary rows cover the strip regex's #{2,4} bounds at
limit-1 (h1), limit (h2/h4) and limit+1 (h5).

* test(#3235): add parser property test; kill two weak regression tests

Review findings from the orthogonal passes, all fixed inline.

Standards axis (hard violation, CLAUDE.md -> TEST RULES & CONVENTIONS):
"Parsers, budget limits, and bijective contracts must include at least one
fast-check (fc) property test." roadmap-parser is a parser module and the six
new tests were all example-based. Adds one property test over generated
preambles, asserting four invariants across BOTH branches:
  1. no `Phase Details` heading ever survives (the unconditional strip)
  2. headings outside the strip regex's #{2,4} bound always survive
  3. hasOwnDetails=true  -> preamble phase headings are gone
  4. hasOwnDetails=false -> preamble phase headings are all retained
Generator is document-shaped -- a fixed alphabet of literal line shapes, NOT
derived from the parser's own regexes (CONTRIBUTING.md #2371 fixture
provenance: a writer-seeded generator can only confirm what the author already
believed). Seed pinned to 20260809, numRuns bounded at 300, verbose replay on
failure, per the determinism rule.

Isolated adversarial review ran mutation testing against the compiled lib and
found two weak tests:

- CRLF test killed no mutant the LF-only sibling did not already kill. Its
  fixture now carries a `## Phase Details` heading, which exercises the
  `[^\n]*` / `\n?` tail of the Phase Details regex under CRLF -- a region no
  LF-only fixture can reach -- and asserts no orphaned CR is left behind.
- "no preamble does not throw" caught none of five targeted mutants.
  `.replace()` cannot throw on any string, so no mutation confined to this
  change could fail it. Deleted rather than propped up: the empty-preamble case
  is now genuinely covered by the property test's minLength:0 generator, which
  produces empty preambles on both branches. Strictly subsumed.

2a73f53cb3 fix(#3204): milestone sectioning is vocabulary, not heading position (#3230)
* test(#3204): failing-first suite for the clobbered phase count

A project declaring six phases with four phase directories on disk had
state.record-session write progress.total_phases: 4 — #2828 regressing at
1.9.1, reported in #3204 with a deterministic reproduction.

Before the fix in the following commit, these rows FAILED (wrote 4, expected
6): a flat roadmap carrying `## Progress`; one carrying `## Overview` and
`## Phase Details`; the CRLF variant of the first. Two more, found by
adversarial review and added after the first fix attempt, failed against that
attempt: structural headings interleaved among flat phase headings, and this
repo's own bundled-template shape (a `## Phases` wrapper around a single
nested milestone).

The #1761 control — sibling milestone sections must keep falling back to the
disk count — passes both before and after, so the fix has something it must
not break.

Assertions read progress.total_phases through the product's own frontmatter
parser via `state json --raw`, never a regex over STATE.md. Rows 12 and 13
are hostile: a phase heading carrying a version token, and a version heading
inside a fenced code block; neither may count as milestone sectioning.

* fix(#3204): milestone sectioning is vocabulary, not heading position

buildStateFrontmatter chooses total_phases between the ROADMAP's declared
phase count and the on-disk directory count, and refuses the roadmap count
when hasMilestoneSectioning says the document is milestone-sectioned — because
a whole-document count would then conflate sibling milestones (#1761).

That predicate returned true for ANY non-Phase level-2/3 heading, so a flat
roadmap carrying an ordinary `## Progress` was called sectioned and the disk
count clobbered the declared one: six declared phases, four directories,
total_phases written as 4, converging on the truth only once the last
directory happened to exist. That is #2828 regressing at 1.9.1, and it came
from this epic — #3184 replaced state.cts's hand-rolled #2828 guard with this
predicate, and the replacement is strictly more permissive than the guard it
retired.

Three position-based models were tried and all failed, because position does
not carry milestone-ness:

  - any non-Phase heading (shipped) — over-detects, giving #3204;
  - strict nesting/ownership — misses same-level siblings, regressing #1761,
    and false-positives on the bundled template, where `## Phases` wraps a
    single `### v1.1`;
  - adjacency — reproduced live: `## Overview` and `## Notes` interleaved
    among six phase headings are two owning candidates, so a 6-phase roadmap
    with 2 directories wrote 2.

A heading is now a milestone heading iff it is a non-Phase heading carrying a
milestone signal: a version token, a status marker, or the word Milestone.
Sectioning means two or more, since one cannot conflate siblings.

Known limit, recorded in the doc comment rather than hidden: two milestone
sections carrying none of those three signals are not detected.

Also drops buildStateFrontmatter's local dedup-key regex, flagged in-source as
diverging from the canonical token rule, for phaseKeyFromDir — the remainder
of #3185, since #3222 had already routed the enumeration itself through
listMilestonePhaseDirs.

#1514, #2445 and #3017 are preserved untouched.

Closes #3185
Fixes #3204

* docs(#3185): changeset, glossary entry and ADR status for the phase-count fix

CONTEXT.md's Roadmap Parser Module entry never named hasMilestoneSectioning,
so the predicate whose semantics this change reverses had no glossary presence
at all — a PR gate for a module/seam change. Added, covering the vocabulary
model, the three position-based models that failed, and the residual limit.

ADR-3180 recorded the fifth enumeration copy as unowned in four places. It is
owned now. Amendment 4's scope table row 1 also carried an error worth keeping
visible rather than rewriting: it claimed Phase 3 merged without routing the
state writers, when #3222 had in fact routed the enumeration — the audit read
Amendment 3's silence about the symbol names as absence of the work. The real
gap was the trust discriminator one layer above, which is what #3204 was.

Changeset is Fixed and leads with the symptom a user sees — a phase count that
shrinks to match how many phase directories happen to exist yet — and carries
the known limit forward rather than leaving it in a source comment.

* fix(#3185): stop quoting the retired phase-token regex in a comment

The remote runner failed tests/phase-id-drift-guard.test.cjs: the comment
explaining that the local dedup regex had been replaced by phaseKeyFromDir
quoted that regex verbatim, and scripts/lint-phase-id-drift.cjs scans for the
literal token without caring whether it sits in code or in prose.

That is the guard being right, not over-eager — a quoted pattern is one paste
away from being live again, which is exactly how the copy it replaced spread.
Described in prose instead.

Worth recording: this guard is check:phase-id-drift, which lint:ci does not
run — it is enforced by tests/phase-id-drift-guard.test.cjs. A green lint:ci
is therefore not evidence the drift guards pass.

86bebcefa2 refactor(#3216): bind milestone identity to the canonical locator (#3226)
* refactor(#3216): widen milestone-window guard to literal-## matchers

The guard keyed only on the `#{N,M}` quantifier plus a literal version or
phase-lookahead token. getMilestoneInfo hand-rolls its milestone-heading match
with a literal `^##`/`## ` and an interpolated ${escapedVer}, so it satisfied
neither token and the guard reported a clean zero on a file carrying live
re-derivations (#3171, #3197) — a zero it did not earn.

Widen token (a) to a literal 2-6 `#` run, admitted ONLY inside a heading-MATCHER
literal (a regex literal, or a string/template handed to new RegExp) so a
heading-BUILDING template is not mistaken for a re-derivation. Widen token (b)
with the grouped `v(\d+(?:\.\d+)+)` shape and an interpolated version
placeholder.

Ships BEFORE the consolidation per ADR-3180 s7.2: a guard widened afterwards
measures an already-cleaned surface. It is expected to be RED until the
consolidation lands.

* test(#3216): failing-first milestone-identity single-owner suite

63 tests across two files, from the matrix in .gsd/phase/. Section H of
milestone-window-single-owner.test.cjs covers the 21 input classes of the
design's behavior table plus its negative space; milestone-window-drift-guard
covers the widened tokens and proves the exemption is function-scoped, not
file-scoped.

Copy count is 3 found by the guard, not 1 per the epic (ADR-3180 Amendment 3's
standing rule, holding for the fourth consecutive phase): both getMilestoneInfo
sites plus cmdRoadmapAnalyze's milestone enumeration at roadmap.cts:454, which
carries the same #3171 truncation and #3197 phase-heading confusion.

Expected RED until the consolidation lands.

* refactor(#3216): bind milestone identity to the canonical locator

getMilestoneInfo hand-rolled two milestone-heading regexes inside the owner's
own file. Both were wrong, differently: the STATE-version site's ^## anchor is
level-blind so [^\n]* absorbs a third #, and the fallback site had no anchor at
all, so '## ' matched from the second # of '###'. Against
'### Phase 7: Close v3.3 gaps' the fallback returned {v3.3, gaps} (#3197). Both
captured names with [^\n(], truncating at a parenthetical (#3171).

Bind both to the canonical grammar. locateMilestoneHeadings becomes a
version-filtered view over one shared source, and a new version-agnostic
listMilestoneHeadings enumerates milestone headings for callers that need all
of them. getMilestoneInfo returns ScopedResult<MilestoneInfo|null>; the
{v1.0,'milestone'} default, which was output-identical to a real v1.0 project,
is deleted. The #2245 never-throws invariant is preserved.

Copy count: 3 found by the guard, not 1 per the epic. The third was
cmdRoadmapAnalyze's own milestone enumeration (roadmap.cts:454), carrying both
defects in the implementation the epic blessed.

buildStateFrontmatter and archivePhaseDirectories branch on scope: the first
writes null rather than a fabricated identity, the second falls through to its
dated-label fallback. A fabricated v3.3 passes ARCHIVE_VERSION_LABEL_RE, so it
would otherwise misfile phase history.

Also fixes an unsafe cast in init.cts that masked these type errors across five
call sites, which would have shipped undefined milestone fields under green tsc.

* fix(#3216): restore the #1761 unbounded guard and bullet precedence

Review and the first full-matrix run surfaced five real defects in the
consolidation, all fixed here rather than by relaxing the tests that caught
them:

- buildStateFrontmatter gated its isMilestoneBoundedInRoadmap check on the
  scope-gated milestone value, which is null on any non-COMPLETE scope, so the
  #1761 unbounded guard was silently skipped and state json reported a percent
  it must omit. It now gates on the STATE-asserted version, independent of
  identity scope.
- The rewrite lost #2135's precedence: the name-bearing progress-marker bullet
  is consulted before the heading again.
- A single-segment version (v3, no dot) did not resolve; the name-extraction
  fallback now accepts it.
- A version carrying regex metacharacters, or a $& / $1 replacement pattern,
  is matched literally.
- listMilestoneHeadings' heading field trimmed, so a CRLF roadmap no longer
  leaks a trailing carriage return into roadmap analyze's output.

Also emits milestone_version / milestone_name / current_milestone as explicit
null rather than omitting the key, so the prompt layer cannot render a bare
placeholder, and corrects an init.cts comment plus a cast left inconsistent.

* test(#3216): update milestone-identity expectations to the scoped contract

getMilestoneInfo returns ScopedResult<MilestoneInfo|null> and the
{v1.0,'milestone'} default is deleted, so the suites asserting the old shape
assert removed behavior. Updated rather than weakened: every touched call site
now asserts the scope explicitly against the frozen SCOPE enum.

roadmap-parser.test.cjs: 20 expectations moved to {value,scope}. The #1881
unreadable-vs-absent diagnostic assertions are untouched and still prove their
original point — only the return shape moved. One pre-existing assert.ok(info)
is now a specific UNSCOPED assertion, so that case is stronger than before.

new-milestone-clear-phases.test.cjs: the test asserting phases clear archives
under the v1.0 default now asserts the dated archived-<YYYYMMDD> fallback,
which is the deliberate consequence of deleting that default.

Two of this branch's own tests were also corrected after they drove the
implementation the wrong way: the parity test compared raw heading text and so
pushed a stray ## prefix into roadmap analyze's public output, and the hostile
metacharacter row demanded a pathological version resolve, which pushed a
widening of the ADR-locked \b boundary. Both now assert what the contract
actually requires.

* docs(#3216): document milestone identity and correct the CONTEXT.md entry

ADR-3180 s7.2 moves to Enforced and gains two rules that were unstated: the
name derives from the heading's own version token and drops a trailing status
marker, and a free-form legacy ROADMAP with no version anywhere is UNSCOPED
with no identity rather than a defaulted v1.0 (decided by the maintainer before
implementation, per s7's own rule that an unstated behavior is not decided).
Amendment 4 records Phase 6's validation, including that the copy count was a
lower bound for the fourth consecutive phase.

CONTEXT.md's Roadmap Parser entry described locateMilestoneHeadings as
boundary-matched with (?![\w.-]) — the alternative Amendment 2 tried and
REVERTED. The code uses \b and says so, and the ADR agrees; the revert updated
code and ADR and missed CONTEXT.md, which is the epic's own fixed-on-one-copy
failure class in the docs layer, on a file that is itself a PR gate.

* fix(#3216): persist the real version on a truncated identity

buildStateFrontmatter wrote null for BOTH milestone and milestone_name on any
non-COMPLETE scope, discarding a real version. ADR-3180 s7.2 rule 6: a version
known with no resolvable name is TRUNCATED carrying {version, name: null} —
'the version is a real answer, the name is a non-answer, and collapsing the two
is the failure this contract exists to prevent.'

The two fields are now gated by what is actually known: the version whenever one
exists (COMPLETE or TRUNCATED), the name only on COMPLETE. Never fabricated.

Caught by this phase's own Decision 4(c) consumer-output test, which is the
argument for asserting at the consumer rather than the owner — the owner was
correct throughout; only the consumer collapsed its answer.

* refactor(#3216): extract helpers and make cmdCommit's scope gate explicit

From the two-axis code review:

- init.cts repeated the identical getMilestoneInfo cast at five sites with
  copy-pasted comments — duplication inside a PR whose thesis is that duplicates
  get deleted. Extracted milestoneRecord(cwd); the one site-specific comment is
  kept, the four generic copies removed.
- getMilestoneInfo hand-built its { value, scope } literal at ten return points;
  a local scoped() constructor now does it once. Every per-branch rationale
  comment is preserved and no returned value or scope changed.
- cmdCommit gated the milestone branch name on plain truthiness, which is also
  true for TRUNCATED, so an unresolved identity drove branch creation
  incidentally rather than deliberately. It now gates on the SCOPE enum,
  accepting COMPLETE or TRUNCATED because both carry a real version, and the
  comment records why that differs from archivePhaseDirectories — which demands
  COMPLETE because it uses the value as a filesystem path component.

* test(#3216): cover the bare-version-in-prose truncated path

The spec review found the bareVersionMatch path — no STATE version, no
milestone heading, a version token only in prose — returning TRUNCATED with no
test exercising that exact shape, violating Decision 4's boundary-coverage
requirement.

* docs(#3216): record the missed Tier-2 surfaces and rule 5's corollary

Decision 3 requires an explicit call-out for EVERY Tier-2 change, and Amendment
4's first draft named eight surfaces while the change touched thirteen. Adds
cmdCommit's branch-name construction and the four init JSON bundles, an
incomplete list being the same defect in miniature that this epic removes.

s7.2 rule 5 gains a corollary separating two cases the original wording ran
together: no version token ANYWHERE is UNSCOPED, while a bare version token in
prose or a non-milestone heading is weak but real evidence and yields TRUNCATED
under rule 6.

b9f51836e6 refactor(#3180): ADR-3180 behavior contract + cross-surface drift guardrails (#3223)
* refactor(#3180): one owner for completion ratio, a prompt-layer drift guard, and a written behavior contract

The 2026-08-08 coverage audit on #3180 found the epic's copy counts were a
lower bound for the third consecutive time, and that two derivation families
had never been named at all.

ADR-3180 gains Decision 7 — a normative behavior contract that says what the
right answer IS for each derivation, not merely who owns it. A reviewer with
no written rule can only ask "does this look like the others", which is how a
fifth copy passes review. Decision 4 gains (d) scan surface is every authored
surface and an owner FILE is never exempt, only its named functions; and (e)
a surface that cannot be consolidated today ships ratcheted, never unguarded.

Completion ratio: `clampPercent` sat exported and unused beside six hand-inlined
copies of its own body across five modules. All six now route through it;
`clampPercentFromFraction` is added for the one caller that already held a
fraction. Every migration is behaviour-identical — clampPercent's first line IS
the `total > 0 ? … : 0` ternary each copy carried. Guarded by
lint-completion-ratio-drift.cjs, which reports zero re-derivations with no
file-level exemption.

Prompt layer: workflow markdown re-derives live-plan counting in raw shell
(#1762), invisible to every `src/`-scoped guard. lint-planning-prompt-drift.cjs
scans it with a shrink-only baseline of the 7 sites that exist today — new
sites fail, and a baseline entry that stops firing fails too, so an
acknowledgment can never outlive the thing it describes.

lint-milestone-window-drift.cjs stops exempting its owner file wholesale; only
the four named canonical functions are exempt now. The blanket exemption was
pointed at the one file most likely to grow the next copy, and it had.

* fix(#3180): address orthogonal review — consumer-output identity tests, count-keyed ratchet, property coverage

Five findings from the two orthogonal review passes, all fixed.

Decision 4(c) breach: the completion-ratio identity test asserted at the
OWNER, which is exactly the bypass that decision exists to close — a consumer
can call clampPercent and then post-process locally, leaving both the lint and
an owner-level test green. It now drives `roadmap analyze`, `query progress`
and `stats` and asserts on their own output, over a fixture containing a
`status: superseded` plan so a consumer that re-counted raw files would report
60 where the owner reports 75.

Decision 4(e) breach: ratchet entries named the epic (#3180) rather than the
issue that removes them. They name Phase 8 (#3218) now.

The ratchet keyed on (file, text) alone, so plan-phase.md's two byte-identical
sites were one indistinguishable key and migrating either would have left the
guard green with the other alive. Entries carry an occurrence count; fewer than
acknowledged fails as a partial migration, more fails as a new copy.

Adds the missing MAX_REGEX_LITERAL_LEN boundary coverage the sibling guard's
test already had, and the fast-check property tests CONTRIBUTING requires for
clamp/budget-limit functions.

* test: stop wrapping a nested double-spawn in a 15s wall-clock budget (bug #641 probes)

`tests/ci-test-scope.test.cjs`'s `bug #641` block spawned `run-tests.cjs`
under PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS=15000; that child then spawned a nested `node --test`.
A fixed wall-clock budget around a double spawn, running inside a container
that is concurrently executing the full ~31k-test suite, fails by construction
under load.

Confirmed against three full matrix runs. Every failure was shaped
`null !== 0` — the child was KILLED, never an assertion about the thing under
test. One captured probe had already printed the correct resolution
(`suite="all" files=2: a.test.cjs b.test.cjs`) and was killed anyway. It
reproduces on `next` alone: 5 failures on linux-node22, 0 on linux-node24. The
victim subset varies by run and by lane.

What these tests are actually about is suite-token RESOLUTION — `unit` as a
bare token in --files/--files-from. Executing the seeded trivial files is
incidental and is the entire timeout surface, so the assertions move
in-process against the same functions `main()` calls, in the same order.
`parseArgs`, `selectExplicitFiles`, `selectFiles` and `walkTestFiles` are
exported for that; no behavior, signature or logic changed.

No coverage lost: `tests/run-tests-harness.test.cjs` already spawns the
harness for real and asserts exit codes end to end, on a 120s budget.

Pre-existing on `next`, fixed here rather than deferred.

* test: delete the three elapsed-time assertions

CLAUDE.md forbids asserting on wall-clock time. Three assertions did, and all
three are load-sensitive: on a saturated bench each can fail while the code
under test is correct. In every case the load-bearing assertion sits on the
line above and the timing line adds no discrimination.

run-with-timeout: the stated worry — "was this 124 the cap firing or the 30s
harness backstop?" — is already answered by the assertion above it. A backstop
kills by signal, which surfaces as status null, never 124. Observed directly
this session: three matrix runs produced exactly that null shape from killed
children.

normalize-test-command and context-predicates: both bounded a ReDoS check.
A threshold only ever separates "fast" from "slightly slow", which is bench
load, not correctness — catastrophic backtracking on 800 KB of input does not
take 251ms, it does not finish at all. A real regression therefore shows up as
the suite being killed on that test, which is louder and more reliable than a
number. The structural assertions (returned unchanged; cleanly rejected) are
what actually carry those tests, and they stay.

The sweep now reports zero elapsed-time assertions in tests/. The remaining
Date.now() uses are unique-path suffixes, barrier deadlines, fixture
timestamps and fake mtimes — none of them assertions.

Pre-existing on `next`, fixed here rather than deferred.

* fix(#3180): key the prompt-drift ratchet on POSIX paths so it works on Windows

The baseline keys on (file, trimmed text). `file` came from scanTree's
`path.relative()`, which uses NATIVE separators, while the committed baseline
stores POSIX. On Windows every violation was therefore unmatched — reported as
FRESH — and every baseline entry matched nothing — reported as STALE. The guard
failed 100% of the time there, on both CI shards:

  ✖ scanRepo(repoRoot) matches the baseline exactly: zero fresh AND zero stale
    + { file: 'gsd-core\\workflows\\execute-plan.md', ... }

The remote runner this repo gates on is Linux-only and cannot see this class at
all; the GitHub Actions Windows lane is what caught it.

Normalization is unconditional — never gated on process.platform. A
platform-conditional normalizer makes the POSIX path the special case and
leaves the Windows branch unexercised on every other OS, which is the same
blind spot in a different place. It is applied at one seam inside
findPromptDrift, which builds `file` on every returned violation, so the
baseline key, the --update writer, the stderr report and the tests all consume
one normalized value.

The regression tests drive a Windows-shaped relPath directly and run on every
OS rather than skipping off-Windows — a test that only runs on the platform
where the bug lives is why this escaped. They include a sanity check that
un-normalized input does NOT match, so the assertion cannot pass vacuously.

Audited the three sibling guards: none keys against a committed cross-platform
baseline, and their exemption keys are path.join-built, so producer and
consumer share the native convention. Left correct code alone rather than
making them look alike. scripts/lib/drift-scan.cjs is untouched — normalizing
there would break those three on Windows.

636ec92107 refactor(#3185): phase enumeration has one owner and a decidable scope (#3222)
* test(#3185): failing-first phase-enumeration single-owner suite

Covers the enumeration rows with direct code evidence: 999.* backlog dirs
listed by progress/stats, the phase-0 sentinel divergence, the #1324
letter-prefixed-decimal negative space, and the destructive-path find —
cmdPhasesClear carries a fifth sentinel copy (/^999(?:\.|$)/) that excludes
999 but not 0, so a 0-* directory roadmap.analyze preserves is deleted there.

Also covers the pass-all degrade, which is where the defect actually lives:
when the milestone window declares no phases the filter becomes a literal
() => true and its heading-side sentinel exclusion is unreachable. A fixture
carrying phase headings keeps the filter active and never reaches that path.

Named for the derivation, not a module: the suite drives commands, phase,
milestone, workstream-inventory and state, and both the phase and
phase-locator buckets are already at the per-module test-file cap.

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

* refactor(#3185): phase enumeration has one owner and a decidable scope

Adds phase-locator.cts::listMilestonePhaseDirs as the single canonical owner
of "which phase directories belong to the current milestone". It applies the
milestone window AND the sentinel filter and returns a ScopedResult, so a
caller can tell a genuinely-empty milestone from an enumeration that could
not be scoped.

The sentinel test now runs against DIRECTORY NAMES and is unconditional.
getMilestonePhaseFilter excludes sentinels from its ROADMAP heading set, but
degrades to a literal () => true pass-all predicate when that set is empty --
at which point the heading set is never consulted and its sentinel exclusion
is unreachable exactly when it is needed. That degrade is the #3167 path, and
it is why stats already used the filter and still listed backlog directories.
The narrowing is sentinel-only: pass-all stays over-inclusive otherwise.

Sentinel copies deleted, canonical isSentinelPhaseId adopted:
  - cmdRoadmapAnalyze's local closure (parseInt === 0 || === 999), 2 call sites
  - cmdPhasesClear's /^999(?:\.|$)/ -- the DESTRUCTIVE path, which excluded
    999 but not 0, so a 0-* directory roadmap.analyze preserves was deleted

cmdStats also seeded rows from ROADMAP headings with no sentinel filter, so a
999 heading produced a row with no directory; that seed is filtered now.

cmdPhasesList routes only its ENUMERATION. --phase lookup searches the
physical set (scoping it would report an out-of-window phase as not found) and
--include-archived still merges archived dirs (they are by definition from
other milestones). Both exempt by documented reason, never a file allowlist.

Fixed inline, found while building: isDirInMilestone could not match a #1324
letter-prefixed-decimal directory (P0.0-foundation) to its own Phase P0.0
heading, so stats reported the phase with plans: 0 while its directory held
plan files. Defers to phase-id's extractPhaseToken rather than widening a
fourth bespoke regex; additive, so it can only admit directories.

backlog and Phase 0 and spanned every milestone the document ever had. Its own
caller already resolved a currentVersion and passed it to getMilestonePhaseFilter
elsewhere in the same file; this was the sibling copy that never got the fix.

state.cts phaseInventoryProvider enumerated phase dirs with its own
/^(\d+)-(.+)$/ convention regex and neither filter, so a rebuilt STATE.md
inventory carried backlog and sentinel directories as current-milestone phases.
A non-COMPLETE enumeration scope now throws to the outer catch as a real scan
failure rather than reporting a confident undercount, mirroring the per-phase
scanPhasePlans contract beside it.

* refactor(#3185): consolidate 23 sentinel re-derivations onto one predicate

The whole-repo drift guard (ADR-3180 Decision 4a, no file allowlist) found the
sentinel rule re-implemented 23 times across 8 modules, in three regex variants
plus four integer-comparison forms. Most tested 999 only, so Phase 0 slipped
through them while roadmap.analyze and the engine-wide convention (#1580) both
treat 0 and 999 alike. That disagreement is the defect class this epic removes.

All 23 now call phase-id's isSentinelPhaseId (SENTINEL_RANGES [0,999]). Sites:
init recommended-actions and backlog counts, milestone phase scan, the
phase-lifecycle progress table, phase.cts used-number collection and the four
renumber-on-remove guards, roadmap-parser's heading and bullet milestone
counts, roadmap get-phase fallbacks, and state's heading denominator.

Excluding Phase 0 at these sites is a deliberate behavior change and the point
of the consolidation — several carried comments already saying 0 should be
excluded while the literal beside them caught only 999.

Adds scripts/lint-phase-enumeration-drift.cjs, wired into lint:ci. It scans the
whole src/ tree with no file allowlist and reports both shapes: an independent
phases-dir enumeration, and an independent sentinel literal. Exemptions are
function-scoped with a written reason. The guard is comment-aware — its first

* refactor(#3185): resolve every phases-dir enumeration; drift guard reports zero

Per-site triage of the 31 remaining whole-repo guard hits, applying the rule
generalized from #3183's Amendment 1: a LOOKUP, DIAGNOSTIC, ARCHIVAL or
MUTATION pass wants the physical set; only "which phases belong to this
milestone" wants the scoped set.

Routed (10): init new-milestone phase_dir_count, init milestone-op fallback
count, init manager, init progress, milestone complete stats/dry-run/archive
move, phase complete's next-phase scan, state update-progress, state
frontmatter stats, and uat audit's active set.

Exempt with a written function-scoped reason (never a file allowlist): the
audit/UAT/verification sweeps that deliberately scan every directory to report
gaps, phase create/insert/rename/renumber mutations, single-phase lookups,
roadmap-upgrade's cross-milestone migration, cmdPhasesClear's whole-tree
destructive pass, and the reads that list a phase dir's FILES rather than
enumerating the phases dir at all.

Latent defects fixed by the routing: sentinel directories leaked into
cmdInitNewMilestone's phase_dir_count, cmdMilestoneComplete's stats, dry-run
AND ARCHIVE MOVE, cmdStateUpdateProgress, buildStateFrontmatter and
cmdAuditUat's active set — every one of those hand-rolled an isDirInMilestone
filter with no sentinel exclusion, so `milestone complete` was archiving
backlog directories.

scripts/lint-phase-enumeration-drift.cjs now reports 0 re-derivations and
npm run lint:ci is green.

* docs(#3185): document milestone-scoped enumeration and record ADR Amendment 3

Changeset fragment (Changed), CLI-TOOLS/COMMANDS/USER-GUIDE updates for the
scoped output of progress, stats, phases list, phases clear and milestone
complete, the CONTEXT.md Phase Locator glossary entry naming
listMilestonePhaseDirs, and ADR-3180 Amendment 3.

Amendment 3 records: the SCOPE contract held unchanged; the declared deviation
from Decision 1's provisional signature (the window needs cwd/ws, which the
locked roadmapContent parameter cannot supply); the copy count being a lower
bound for the third consecutive phase (4 scoped vs 54 found); the load-bearing
finding that the sentinel exclusion sat on the heading set and was unreachable
under the pass-all degrade; the two destructive-path defects; and the
generalized exemption rule.

* fix(#3185): wire scope to consumers; revert two wrong routings the suite caught

Review + remote runner findings, all fixed:

The three consumers computed the enumeration scope and threw it away, so
TRUNCATED/UNSCOPED/UNREADABLE collapsed into the same output as COMPLETE --
reproducing this epic's own output-identical-failure defect one layer up.
progress, stats and phases list now emit phase_scope (null on the phases list
--phase lookup path, which performs no enumeration).

Two routings were wrong and the suite proved it:

roadmap-parser's two milestone phase-count scans are reverted to the 999-only
literal. isSentinelPhaseId is BROADER than what it replaced: its legacy branch
runs /^0*(\d+)/ over "00.1", which backtracks to capture 0, so it read #2554's
decimal phase ids as sentinel milestone 0 and stopped counting them.

state.cts phaseInventoryProvider is reverted to the physical disk scan.
`state rebuild` is a RECONCILIATION pass -- scoping it made it throw on healthy
trees whose fixture resolves no window, swallowed the raw readdirSync fault
message #3057 B1 requires verbatim, and stopped it dropping orphan STATE.md
rows, which is the job.

Both are now function-scoped guard exemptions with written reasons, not
silent reverts. This is the consolidation trap named in the epic: a canonical
rule can cover MORE than the copy it replaces, and only real inputs show it.

Adds phases list coverage, a scope-branch test, and a drift-guard unit suite;
backports comment-awareness to the milestone-window and plan-count guards so
all three siblings share one false-positive profile; names #3161 alongside
#3167 in Amendment 3's subsumption record.

* fix(#3185): correct isSentinelPhaseId's decimal-zero misclassification

An isolated security review caught this branch committing the epic's own sin:
the over-broad predicate was worked around at ONE call site and left live at
the destructive ones.

isSentinelPhaseId's legacy branch ran /^0*(\d+)/, which backtracks so any id
whose leading digit run is all zeros before a non-digit captures 0 -- "0.1",
"00.1" and "0.2554" all read as sentinel milestone 0. Two pinned contracts
disagree with that: #2554 requires "00.1" to be counted as a real phase, and
the 999 icebox is a whole reserved milestone so "999.1" must stay sentinel.

The rule is asymmetric and now says so explicitly: 999 is sentinel with or
without a decimal part; 0 is sentinel only when bare. A decimal phase under
either is a real phase for 0 and reserved for 999, because 999 reserves a
MILESTONE while 0 reserves a PHASE.

Fixing the owner lets the earlier workaround go: getMilestonePhaseFilter's two
scans route through isSentinelPhaseId again and the guard exemption that
existed only to accommodate the defect is deleted. The state.cts cmdStateRebuild
exemption stays -- that one is a genuine reconciliation-wants-the-physical-set
case.

Also corrects tests/adr-612-bracket-grammar.test.cjs, which asserted
isSentinelPhaseId('0.1') === true and so had encoded the defect as expected
behavior.

* fix(#3185): keep isSentinelPhaseId's semantics — 0.x is layered, not wrong

Reverts the previous commit. The remote suite failed six tests proving it
wrong, and the reason is the sharpest finding of this phase.

An isolated security review observed that isSentinelPhaseId reads 0.1 and 00.1
as sentinel milestone 0 and judged that a defect against #2554. Correcting the
canonical predicate broke #2949. Both contracts are pinned and both are right,
because they ask different questions:

  #2554  is this dir part of the current milestone's phase SET?  -> count 00.1
  #2949  must this phase COMPLETE before the milestone closes?   -> 0.x sentinel

No single global predicate answers both. isSentinelPhaseId keeps its semantics
(0.x IS a sentinel, #2949), and the milestone-window layer keeps a narrower
999-only rule (#2554) as a function-scoped guard exemption with a written
reason — not a second silent copy.

That corrects how Decision 1 reads: "one owner per derivation" governs who
computes an answer, not how many questions share it. An over-broad canonical
rule is as much a defect as a divergent copy and fails worse, because it looks
like consolidation. Recorded in Amendment 3 as the lesson for Phases 4 and 5.

Where a review's inference about intent conflicts with a pinned contract, the
pinned contract wins; the finding is adjudicated, not fixed.

The boundary tables in the enumeration suite are corrected to assert 0.x IS a
sentinel, with the layering explained.

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.

* 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.

2a98b6b0b1 fix(#2665): keep the dot-home type guarantee #2755 chose
The rebase resolution annotated both hoisted descriptors and the local in
resolveKimiHooksTomlDir as ConfigHomeDescriptor. #2755 used DotHomeDescriptor
there deliberately: the union permits xdg / dot-home-nested / generic-agents-root
shapes, so the broader annotation drops the compile-time guarantee that this
resolver selects a dot-home descriptor and nothing else.

Runtime behaviour was already correct — all eleven paths resolve identically —
so this restores a type-level property, not a behavioural one. Both exported
constants are now pinned to DotHomeDescriptor as well, which is stricter than
the ConfigHomeDescriptor they carried since round 3; the interface stays
unexported and NON_REGISTRY_CONFIG_HOME_DESCRIPTORS keeps its
ConfigHomeDescriptor[] type, which the narrower constants satisfy as subtypes.

Found by the pre-push adversarial review of this round, which is the one claim
of six it refuted.

3c580b77dc fix(#2665): derive the second config-location family instead of hand-adding it
Review round 2 named GSD_HOME and KIMI_SHARE_DIR as missing from the derived
scrub set. Both premises confirmed; the prescribed remedy is not adopted
verbatim, because adding two more literals to a four-item hand list is the
pattern that reopened this bug three times. The census the derivation
generalizes over was partial, so the census is what widens.

Two structural gaps, both closed at the source:

1. KIMI_SHARE_DIR lived inside resolveKimiHooksTomlDir's body as an inline
   descriptor, resolvable but not ENUMERABLE. Hoisted to an exported
   KIMI_HOOKS_TOML_DESCRIPTOR and collected in
   NON_REGISTRY_CONFIG_HOME_DESCRIPTORS, which TEST_ENV_BASE now derives from.
   kimi is the sharp case: it owns TWO config homes (KIMI_CONFIG_DIR, already
   registry-visible, and this one), so a registry-only derivation looks
   complete and is not.

2. GSD_HOME is a different FAMILY, not a missing registry entry. The registry
   describes where third-party runtimes keep config; GSD_HOME decides where GSD
   keeps its own user-owned state ($GSD_HOME/.gsd/ — consent.json,
   defaults.json, capability overlays), read env-first ahead of os.homedir() by
   capability-loader, capability-consent, capability-state, capability-writer,
   config-loader, install-profiles and bin/install.js. Named as
   GSD_LOCATION_ENV_KEYS rather than folded into the descriptor array, since it
   does not resolve through resolveConfigHomeFromDescriptor.

GSD_AGENTS_DIR joins the same family (round 2, Minor): env-first and
unconditional in getAgentsDir, misdirecting a read rather than a write.

A census of every env-first first-party location var — the guard-shape question
this PR owes each round — now yields exactly one remaining unguarded name,
GSD_MODEL_CATALOG, and it is dead by precedence: the co-located candidate is
index 0 and the loop breaks on first success, so the env var can only win on a
tree that is already broken, and it redirects a read even then.

Derived set: 39 -> 42 keys. resolveKimiHooksTomlDir behaviour unchanged on both
the default and the KIMI_SHARE_DIR override path.

343835facc refactor(#3183): route live-plan counting through scanPhasePlans (#3199)
* refactor(#3183): route live-plan counting through scanPhasePlans

scanPhasePlans becomes the sole owner of the live-plan derivation. Twenty-one
independent re-derivations across seven modules now route through it, and
scripts/lint-plan-count-drift.cjs reports zero, scanning the whole repo rather
than an allowlist (ADR-3180 Decision 4a).

The epic scoped this at three copies. A whole-repo guard found twenty-six sites
across nine files, so Phase 1 absorbs every live-plan re-derivation and Phase 3
narrows to window plus sentinel enumeration.

Two sites are exempt with a documented reason rather than a bare allowlist:
audit.cts scans one quick task's own directory for a single completion record,
and gsd2-import.cts reads a foreign GSD-2 tasks/ layout during a one-time
import. Neither is a phase directory.

scanPhasePlans gains allPlanFiles (pre-supersession) alongside planFiles so one
owner answers both questions: verify.cts's numbering-gap check wants every plan
on disk, its pairing check wants the live set. Both fields are additive.

Highest-severity fix: cmdPhasePlanIndex, which feeds execute-phase wave
scheduling, was scheduling status:superseded plans into waves and reporting zero
plans for the post-#3139 nested layout.

filterPlanFiles and filterSummaryFiles are deleted; getPhaseFileStats orphaned
them and only their own tests still called them.

New leaf module src/planning-scope.cts carries the frozen SCOPE discriminator,
with its six-gate ripple closed: gitignore, inventory manifest, INVENTORY.md and
the CONTEXT.md glossary.

The contract held; the phase boundary did not. The whole-repo drift guard found
26 re-derivations across 9 files against the epic's estimate of 3, and
cmdProgressRender re-derives both enumeration and plan counting on adjacent
lines, so DW4 was unsatisfiable within Phase 1's original file scope.

Records the amended scope, scanPhasePlans's new allPlanFiles field,
findOrphanSummaries, the two documented exemptions, the re-derived Tier-2
table, and the describeNonCanonicalPlans trap for later phases.

* fix(#3183): complete the canonical pairing rule and gate the naming diagnostic

The remote runner went red with 13 deterministic failures on both lanes,
and they were right: replacing verify.cts's canonicalPlanStem pairing with
summaryCandidates dropped a case the bespoke rule covered. A plan carrying a
descriptive slug after its id (68-01-scaffolding-PLAN.md) pairs with its
canonical-stem summary (68-01-SUMMARY.md), and summaryCandidates generated no
such candidate, so the plan read unsummarized.

The fix is to complete the one rule rather than restore a second:
summaryCandidates gains a canonical-id candidate, narrowed to fire only when an
id pair was actually extracted. countMatchedSummaries, findUnsummarizedPlans
and findOrphanSummaries all inherit it. The two-plans-one-summary collision
behaviour of the original rule is preserved deliberately and documented in
place.

Second defect, independently root-caused while verifying: routing the #2893
naming diagnostic through scanPhasePlans exposed it to the loose /PLAN/i
fallback, which is correct for counting and wrong for a naming check — a
non-canonically-named file was accepted as a valid plan and the diagnostic
went silent. cmdPhasesList, cmdFindPhase and cmdPhasePlanIndex now intersect
with a strict isCanonicalPlanFile predicate before reporting names.

Same class as the describeNonCanonicalPlans trap already recorded in ADR-3180:
a question about file naming wants the physical, strictly-matched set; only a
question about outstanding work wants the live set.

five of the six .cts ripple gates - gitignore, inventory manifest, INVENTORY.md

* fix(#3183): replace the plan-count drift detector with a literal tokenizer

CodeQL reported 4 high-severity js/redos alerts on REGEX_LITERAL_MD_RE, the
backtracking regex that finds "a regex literal mentioning PLAN/SUMMARY and an
escaped \.md". Five review rounds found it had two defects, not one:

  - EXPONENTIAL, then CUBIC. Its "any char" atom `(?:\\.|[^/\r\n])` let a `\.`
    pair be consumed either as one escape or as two class characters, which is
    exponential backtracking: 27,464ms on `"/\.mdplan" + "\.".repeat(28) + "X"`.
    Excluding `\` from the class killed that but left a cubic path — 23ms at
    N=200, 172ms at N=400, 1362ms at N=800 on `"/" + "PLAN\.md".repeat(N)` with
    no closing `/`. This guard is the last stage of `npm run lint:ci`, which CI
    runs on fork pull requests, so a crafted src/*.cts could stall the job.
  - A DETECTION HOLE. A character class holding a bare, unescaped `/` — e.g.
    `/SUMMARY[^/]*\.md$/`, an ordinary path-excluding filter — terminated the
    literal at that `/`, so the scan never reached `\.md` and the guard missed
    it entirely. (Classes holding an ESCAPED `\/` were already matched; the
    tests cover those separately as parity, not as regressions.)

Both defects have one root cause: regex-literal grammar — `\x` escapes, and
`/` inside `[...]` not terminating — is not expressible in a backtracking
regex. So the detector is now a tokenizer, not a regex.

readRegexLiteralAt reads the literal at a given `/` in a single left-to-right
pass with no backtracking, treating escapes as two-character units and
suppressing the `/` terminator inside a character class. findRegexLiteralMdMatch
restarts it at every `/` on the line, preserving the old "find anywhere"
behaviour; MAX_REGEX_LITERAL_LEN (400) bounds each read — including the
trailing-flag scan — which keeps the whole-line cost linear.

Results: cubic shape flat at 0.06-0.39ms out to N=3200 (25KB), exponential
shape 0.01ms at 28 reps and 0.00ms at 64, and the bare-`/` class shapes are now
caught. Differential against the old regex over 28,474 lines (those matching
FILENAME_TEST_RE but not PLAN_SUMMARY_LITERAL_RE, across src/tests/scripts/
gsd-core/bin/eslint-rules, excluding 265 lines with >6 backslashes on which the
old regex hangs): 6 differences, all the tokenizer returning the fuller or
newly-correct literal, 0 old-only misses. The `\.md` token stays
case-insensitive, matching the `/i` the old regex carried.

Also closes three holes in the same new file:

  - walk() tested entry.isFile(), false for a symlink, so a symlinked
    src/*.cts was silently unscanned — an evasion of a guard whose stated
    principle (ADR-3180 Decision 4a) is whole-repo discovery with no allowlist.
    It now resolves symlinks, but confined: file links must resolve inside the
    repo root, directory links inside the scanned dir itself. Every sibling
    drift guard in scripts/ uses the Dirent classification and never follows
    links, so following them unconfined would have made this the only linter
    able to read outside the tree — on fork PRs an arbitrary out-of-repo read
    whose matched fragments reach a public CI log. The narrower directory rule
    additionally stops `src/up -> ..` from sweeping the whole repo, and the
    skip list is now checked against resolved paths so `src/g -> ../.git`
    cannot reach .git/** or node_modules/**. Real paths are de-duplicated and
    files reported canonically, so a symlink alias cannot shift which
    FUNCTION_SCOPED_EXEMPTIONS key applies.
  - Both the reported fragment and the reported FILE PATH are attacker-
    controlled source text written straight to a CI log, and git permits
    control bytes in a filename. Both are now escaped — C0/C1/DEL plus the
    bidi and zero-width controls — so a crafted literal or filename cannot
    recolour the log, overwrite a line with CR, or fabricate a line that looks
    like this guard's own success output.

Regression coverage in tests/plan-count-single-owner.test.cjs: a child-process
probe over both pathological shapes (catastrophic backtracking is synchronous
and would freeze the suite rather than fail one test), the bare-`/` class
shapes verified to fail against the parent-commit blob, root-confinement tests
covering the outside-file, outside-directory, cycle, broken-link and duplicate
cases, direct isInsideRoot coverage including the sibling-prefix case that a
bare startsWith would let through, sanitizeForReport coverage, and
limit-1/limit/limit+1 coverage of MAX_REGEX_LITERAL_LEN derived from the
exported constant. The earlier structural assertion was dropped — it checked
for the substring `[^/`, which respelling the class as `[^\r\n/]` defeats
while staying exponential.

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.

Verified on the remote runner.

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.

Verified on the remote runner.

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.

Closes #3149

* 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.

a731a45cd6 fix(#3116): strip trailing CR per line in parseFrontmatterStrict for CRLF WINDOWS.md (#3137)
* test(#3116): failing-first — parseLedger throws on CRLF WINDOWS.md

On repos with core.autocrlf=true (Windows default), .planning/WINDOWS.md
is checked out CRLF. The \n--- close-fence scan leaves the last frontmatter
line's CR attached, and the key:value regex's . doesn't match CR, so the
parser throws WINDOWS_LEDGER_MALFORMED on the last key.

* fix(#3116): strip trailing CR per line in parseFrontmatterStrict

The \n--- close-fence scan lands on the LF of the last frontmatter line's
CRLF, so yamlBody ends with a bare \r. split(/\r?\n/) strips CR from
interior lines but the last line's \r survives. The key:value regex fails
because . doesn't match CR.

Fix: strip \r per line (rawLine.replace(/\r$/, '')) rather than normalizing

0e6fa2e2cf enhance(#3118): close the dead injectables and the shell projection follow-on — Wave 4 (#3124)
* test(#3118): failing-first coverage for the dead injectables and the shell projection

Adds the counter-tests Wave 4 closes against, before any fix:

- antigravityWatermark had zero test references. The four existing tests
  that look like watermark coverage hand the fallback a literal mark and
  never call the producer, so nothing pinned whether a real run's mark is
  correct. Covers all six branches plus the non-object cache classes.
- Pins the fail-open: a transcript read that throws reports lines:0,
  indistinguishable from a genuinely empty transcript, and the consumer
  then replays a previous run's review as this run's.
- Pins the export-line escaping across the repair, persist and win32 bash
  lanes, including the parity assertion that they must not diverge.
- sliceCurrentPositionSection: empty-vs-absent, fenced heading, second
  occurrence, H3, CRLF.
- Proves deps.progressProvider is inert by supplying a throwing stub to
  all ten transition intents.

Verification through the remote runner only.

Refs #3118

* fix(#3118): distinguish an unreadable transcript from an empty one

antigravityWatermark's final read can throw on a transcript that
indisputably exists. It returned lines:0, which is the same value a
genuinely empty transcript produces, so the caller could not tell the
two apart.

antigravityTranscriptFallback derives its skip from that count. A mark
of {convId:'c1', lines:0} for a conversation that pre-dates the run
makes it skip nothing and return the last PLANNER_RESPONSE in a
transcript written before this run started — a previous review
presented as this one's, which is exactly what the function's own
'never stale' docstring promises cannot happen.

The unreadable case now sets unreadable:true and the fallback declines
for a same-conv-id unreadable mark. An absent or empty transcript is
untouched: those genuinely have zero prior lines.

* fix(#3118): escape the export line for the file it lands in, not the echo

Three lanes emit export PATH="<dir>:$PATH". repair escaped it with
escapePosixDoubleQuoted; persist and the win32 Git Bash lane escaped it
with escapeSingleQuotedShellLiteral instead.

The single-quoting is correct for the echo, so nothing runs when the
user pastes the command. But the bytes appended to ~/.bashrc are the
export line itself, and inside double quotes in an rc file a $(...) or
a backtick in the directory name is command substitution that runs on
every new shell. Those characters are legal in a path on both POSIX and
Windows, so the path was reachable.

projectPathExportLine is now the single source of that line and escapes
for its final rc-file context; each lane still applies its own transport
escaping on top. fish keeps the single-quote escaper — its value really
does stay single-quoted.

The cmd.exe lane interpolated into a cmd double-quoted string with no
cmd-level escaping, so a quote closed the region and &cmd& ran. A quote
is reserved on Windows and cannot appear in a real path, so there is no
correct command to suggest: the win32 lanes now fail closed for one.

Metacharacter-free paths render byte-identically on every lane.

* fix(#3118): drop a stray carriage return and a deps field nobody reads

locateCurrentPosition subtracted a fixed one byte to exclude the newline
before the next heading, which assumes LF. On a CRLF document the slice
kept an unpaired trailing carriage return. It now walks back over the
newline and over a preceding carriage return if there is one.

StateTransitionDeps also required a progressProvider that 33 sites
supplied and no site ever called. A required field nothing reads widens
the module's interface without changing its implementation, which is the
shape epic #3051 cites as its reason for refusing blanket injection.
Removed along with the ProgressRecord alias that existed only as its
return type; state-document.cts's unrelated interface of the same name
is untouched.

* fix(#3118): stop an empty span duplicating bytes, and name the empty results

Three findings from the isolated review pass.

locateCurrentPosition could return end < start when the section was
empty and the next heading followed with no blank line between. Every
mutator splices with slice(0,start) + body + slice(end), so an inverted
span duplicated the region between them — a blank line silently
inserted into STATE.md on every transition, two bytes on CRLF. The span
is now clamped, and an empty section is a zero-length span, which is
what it always meant.

The win32 fail-closed path left the installer printing 'Add it with one
of:' with nothing under it. An empty shellActions folded two different
facts together, so projectPathActionProjection now carries a frozen
PATH_ACTION_REASON and the installer branches on it. Two empty results
with different causes staying distinguishable is the subject of the
epic this belongs to.

fish_add_path parses a leading dash as an option, so a directory named
-v printed 'No paths to add' instead of being added. Verified against
fish 4.8.1: the end-of-options separator fixes it.

Replaces the console-prose test the second fix first arrived with — a
regex over captured stdout is what CONTRIBUTING prohibits, and the
typed reason is the surface it asks for instead.

* fix(#3118): escape TOML control characters, and stop a test name overstating

Five findings from the two review axes.

escapeTomlDoubleQuotedString escaped only backslash and quote. TOML
basic strings also require U+0000-U+0008, U+000A-U+001F and U+007F to be
escaped, so a value carrying a raw newline or NUL wrote a config.toml no
parser accepts — rejecting the whole file, not just that value. Four of
its call sites write real config. Tab stays raw; the grammar exempts it.

The byte-identity test claimed every lane was unchanged for an ordinary
path, which is false: fish now takes the end-of-options separator on
every path, not only hostile ones. Renamed, and the one intended delta
now has its own named test instead of hiding inside a claim that read
as broader than it was.

Also: exact-equality assertions in place of substring checks that could
pass on a subtly wrong escape, newline and null-byte cases for all five
quoting primitives, and a temp dir registered with t.after so it is
removed when an assertion fails.

* docs(#3118): add the changeset fragments

* fix(#3118): degrade instead of throwing on a null conversation cache

A cache file whose whole content is the literal null — what a truncated
or zeroed write leaves behind — made both antigravityWatermark and
antigravityTranscriptFallback throw. JSON.parse('null') succeeds, so the
try/catch wrapping the parse never fired, and resolveConvId then called
hasOwnProperty on null.

Both functions advertise the opposite; the existing test next to them is
named 'a missing cache or transcript degrades to empty, never throws'.
Parsing successfully is not the same fact as the payload being usable,
and a guard that only wraps the parse cannot tell them apart.

resolveConvId is now total for any non-object input, so one guard covers
both callers. Caught by the null case in this wave's own cache matrix.

* test(#3118): correct a stale fish expectation and a parity comparison

The pre-existing 'POSIX persist mode escapes single quotes' test pinned
fish_add_path without the end-of-options separator this wave adds, so it
asserted behavior that is no longer correct. A repo-wide scan found one
such hardcoded expectation; every other site derives its expectation
from the projection.

The new parity test compared the token from a POSIX path against the
win32 lane, which posix-normalizes its input first — two different
inputs, so the tokens differed for a reason that had nothing to do with
the parity it claims to check. It now derives the win32 expectation from
the same input the lane receives.

* docs(#3118): reword a comment the injection scanner reads as an instruction

The scanner pattern act\s+as\s+(?:a|an|the)\s+ carries no word
boundary, so 'the same fact as the payload' matched on the tail of
'fact'. Reworded per the documented remedy for this collision.

The missing boundary is a scanner defect rather than a prose problem —
any contributor writing 'fact as the' trips it — but the pattern is
gate plumbing, which the sibling epic owns, so it is surfaced rather
than changed here.

* fix(#2784): make the negation scan single-pass and index it correctly

Three defects in the negation suppression added by #3127, all in one
block, none of which had a test.

The pair scan was verbs.some(nouns.some(...)) with a slice and a split
per pair, so it grew cubically with clause length: 1.1ms before that PR
and 8462ms after, on 800 verb+noun pairs in one clause. api-coverage's
property test generates documents large enough to reach the runner's
600s file cap, which is why it hangs as 'fail 0, cancelled 1' rather
than failing an assertion. Every (verb, noun) window is a subset of the
single widest one, so one scan of that window answers the same question
in a linear pass. Verified equivalent against the old predicate over
20,000 generated clauses.

Both checks also subtracted clause.start from offsets that collectTerm-
Matches already returns clause-local. The first clause on a line has
start 0 so it worked there and nowhere else: later clauses went
negative, and slice reads a negative index from the end, so suppression
silently examined unrelated text.

The comment claimed 'without any API integration' was suppressed. It is
not — the qualifier sits outside the two-word lookback and the noun
precedes the verb. Widening the window would trade a false positive
that costs one declaration line for a false negative that slips a real
integration past a blocking gate, so the behavior stands and the
comment now says so. Pinned by a test.

The qualifier sets were also rebuilt for every line of every document.

Stage 2 of the next-phase cascade accepted any higher-numbered roadmap
heading without checking the 999.x backlog sentinel convention that stage 1
already checks. A Phase 999.1: Backlog Item heading was treated as the next
real phase, advancing STATE.md into the backlog and making the milestone
perpetually 'Ready to plan' instead of 'All phases complete'.

Added isSentinelPhaseId(pm[1]) guard (mirrors stage 1's /^999(?:\.|$)/ check)
so both sentinel ranges (0.x drafts, 999.x backlog) are skipped.

1c9f6a08e3 fix(#2784): suppress detectApiIntegration on negated prose (#3127)
* fix(#2784): suppress detectApiIntegration on negated prose clauses

The compound verb+noun rule had no negation awareness. A clause like "This
phase integrates no external API" matched verb=integrates + noun=API and
fired a false positive, halting the blocking verify:pre gate and forcing a
coverage matrix for a non-existent API.

Added clause-local negation suppression: if the clause contains an
unambiguous negation qualifier (no, not, without, zero, neither, nor,
none, and common contractions), the pair is suppressed. True positives
("integrate the Stripe API") are unaffected. The human override (COVERAGE.md
"no integration" declaration) remains valid.

* fix(#3033): resolve zero-plan split-parent phase as complete when roadmap checkbox is checked

A phase split into sub-phases (parent kept as shared context, zero plans
by design) was permanently stuck as 'researched' because the roadmap-
checkbox override at line 2266 required completion.phase_complete (derived
from plan/summary counts), which is always false for zero-plan phases.
The parent was permanently eligible for current-phase selection and
re-planning recommendations.

The override now fires when roadmapComplete AND planCount === 0 (the
split-parent shape), treating it as complete regardless of the plan-count
derivation. A zero-plan phase whose checkbox is still unchecked stays
in-progress (researched). Ordinary phases with plans are unchanged.

  entries
- agents/gsd-executor.md:503 — FATAL halt on branch check
- gsd-core/references/worktree-branch-check.md:33 — same FATAL halt

Extended all four to ^((worktree-)?agent-|worktree-wf_)[A-Za-z0-9._/-]+$.

checkGraphifyVersion ran 'graphify --version' on PATH and trusted any
plausible version string — a foreign binary named 'graphify' that happened

Downstream graphify work would then proceed against the wrong tool and fail
later in ways that looked like GSD defects.

After getting a version from the binary, verify the graphifyy Python package
via importlib.metadata. If the package cannot be confirmed, emit a warning
naming the mismatch regardless of version-range compatibility. The
compatible flag is now correctly false for unverified tools (it was

1e844b942c fix(#3103): only "no such process" means the owner is dead
Review found the previous commit fixed the wrong cliff. process.kill accepts a
pid up to 2147483647 and throws a TypeError above it, so 2147483648 — an
ordinary finite number — sailed past the finite check, threw, and was
classified dead. Measured here: 2147483646 and 2147483647 raise ESRCH,
2147483648 and above raise ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE. The digit-length boundary the
last commit pinned was a different, earlier gate, and its tests implied it was
the meaningful one.

The liveness helper now treats only ESRCH as dead. EPERM, a type error from an
out-of-range pid, an error with no code at all — every outcome it does not
recognise returns alive, because the value feeds a forced worktree removal and
an unrecognised failure must never read as permission to delete. Against a
build with the old catch, a lock holding 2147483648 reaps the worktree; with
this one it is skipped and the directory survives.

The finite check stays. It no longer carries the safety, but it still names
garbage input accurately rather than reporting it as a live owner, and its
comment now says that so it is not removed as redundant.

The freshness verdict is split. An unreadable lock mtime and a genuinely recent
lock both reported lock_too_fresh, which tells an operator to wait when waiting
cannot help — the same conflation this module already separated for parse
failures. The unreadable case is now lock_age_unknown. Only this module and its
tests read these strings; no workflow or command consumes them.

The dependency spread in the prune path is kept as it is, with a test that
kills it. A caller-supplied porcelain parser displacing the default is the
intended seam, not an accident: the parser is a declared member of the
dependency type and the planner already prefers an injected one, so the
hard-coded key restates the same default rather than guarding against
override. Previously nothing exercised that line at all.

573d39ea60 fix(#3103): refuse to reap on a PID the parse could not represent
A lock file whose PID is a digit string longer than 308 characters parses to
Infinity, not NaN. The default liveness helper then calls process.kill with it,
which throws a TypeError rather than an errno error, and that helper's catch
only recognises EPERM — so it returns false, meaning "the owner is dead", and
the worktree becomes eligible to be removed.

The reaper already fails closed for this exact situation. It wraps the liveness
call in a catch that sets alive and does not reap, with a comment saying
liveness could not be determined. That protection never fires here, because the
inner catch swallowed the error first and answered confidently instead of
admitting it did not know. A guard that cannot verify safety reporting success
is the defect this whole epic is named for, and it was sitting inside the one
function in the tree that deletes things.

The guard deleted earlier on this branch tested for NaN. That test really was
dead — a digits-only capture cannot parseInt to NaN — but the reachable failure
is non-finite, so removing it without correcting the predicate left the hole
open. The check is now for a finite value, and a malformed PID reports the same
lock_owner_unknown skip as an unparseable one, since both mean the same thing:
the owner is unknown, so nothing is removed.

Measured, not assumed: 308 nines still parse finite, 309 are Infinity. All
three of that boundary are covered, along with a 400-digit case that asserts
the worktree is still on disk afterwards — the consequence, not just the
verdict. Against a build with the guard removed, that case reports
pid_dead_and_merged and the worktree is gone.

The liveness helper's own catch still maps every non-EPERM error to "dead". The
fix belongs where the value stops being trustworthy rather than at the far end
of it, but that helper is worth revisiting on its own terms.

c2d5b528e5 refactor(#3103): give the reap and worktree-info paths the seam their callers already have
Twenty-two branches in the orphan-reaping path are unreachable from the test
suite, and the reason is not that they are hard to reach — it is that nothing
can reach them. The reaper already accepts an injectable dependency bag, but
every test drives real git and injects only the clock and the liveness probe,
so each fail-closed return inside it has never executed under test.

The two entry points above it took no dependencies at all, so a test could not
drive them even if it wanted to. Both now accept the same bag and thread it
down, with stdout and stderr writers defaulting to the process streams. The
worktree-info probe in the base-branch resolver called its git seam directly
while a sibling function in the same file already modelled the injectable
form; it now follows that sibling rather than inventing a second convention.

Every parameter defaults to today's real implementation, so no existing caller
changes behavior. This is a testability seam, not a redesign.

Two guards are removed as genuinely dead, each excluded by a check a few lines
above it. A NaN test on a value captured by a digits-only pattern cannot fire,
because parseInt of digits is never NaN. An emptiness test on a capture group
that matched one-or-more non-space characters cannot fire either. Each site
keeps a one-line note naming the guard that excludes it, so neither gets
restored by a future reader.

A third guard was proposed for deletion on the same grounds and is NOT removed,
because the claim was wrong. The local-branch fallback returns null when git
prints output that is non-empty but names neither branch — the emptiness check
above it only catches the empty string, so a single newline reaches the
fallback with both flags false. Deleting it would have changed which branch the
resolver reports. It stays, and it gets a test.

Failing-first: roadmap validate returns {"warnings":[]} (exit 0) for every
input — empty file, garbage, missing file, truncated frontmatter — because it

* fix(#2978): add structural validation to roadmap validate

roadmap validate returned {"warnings":[]} (exit 0) for every input — empty
file, garbage, missing file, truncated frontmatter — because it performed no
structural validation and its one opt-in check (W021 milestone-prefix) is
off by default. A verb named validate that cannot produce a negative result
provides false assurance.

Add four structural checks, each producing a coded warning {code, message}:
- V001: file missing/unreadable (was silent success)
- V002: empty/whitespace-only
- V003: malformed frontmatter (unterminated --- fence; BOM-tolerant per #3057)
- V004: no recognizable phase entries (no ### Phase N: heading)
Keep the existing W021 milestone-prefix check as-is. Exit non-zero via
ExitError(1) when warnings are non-empty, per the documented contract
('exits non-zero on any error or warning'). Well-formed roadmaps (incl.
BOM-prefixed, CRLF) still validate cleanly with warnings: [] and exit 0.

ratchet-down protection (derived 47 < curated 50 keeps curated), and the
body-only write protection (no deriveProgressKeys → wholesale restore).

The existing #2440 test covers the case where derived < curated (ratchet
holds); this adds the missing case where derived > curated (ratchet must
release upward).

* fix(#2969): ratchet completed_plans/plases up under deriveProgressKeys

applyStatePreservation's deriveProgressKeys path (cmdStatePlannedPhase's
opt-in) let total_plans/total_phases take the derived value but restored
completed_plans/completed_phases to their pre-growth curated value — so
gap-closure plans that completed after the plan count grew never incremented
them, leaving STATE.md at completed_plans < total_plans forever (every PLAN
had a SUMMARY).

Extend the deriveProgressKeys exclusion to also let completed_plans and
completed_phases take the derived value, but ratcheted UP only (never derive
downward past curated) — preserving the #3242 curated-progress protection
for cases unrelated to plan-count growth (e.g. a deleted SUMMARY). percent
takes the derived value (the resync already recomputed it from disk counts).

Scoped to deriveProgressKeys (plan-phase only); body-only writes
(state.update/patch without the flag) keep the full #3242 wholesale restore.

* fix(#2969): also take derived percent under deriveProgressKeys

Isolated-review blocker: percent fell into the else branch and was
overwritten with the stale curated value, contradicting the inline comment
and leaving STATE.md incoherent (e.g. completed_plans:54/total_plans:54 at
percent:93). Skip percent in the ratchet loop so the derived (resync-
recomputed) value survives.

53ea8e0664 fix(#3057): make a guard's failure distinguishable from its benign result — Wave 1 (#3088)
* fix(#3057): refuse the write when the duplicate scan cannot complete

writeManifest documents itself as a fail-closed duplicate guard: if any
existing manifest shares plan_id with a different, non-terminal job_id it must
refuse, because dispatching again would duplicate the external job.

It could not honour that. The scan reads every sibling manifest looking for the
duplicate, and an unreadable or unparseable sibling was `continue`d past. If
the corrupt file was the one holding the live duplicate, the scan found nothing
and a duplicate external job dispatched.

The asymmetry is what gives it away: a malformed TARGET refused with
malformed_existing because clobbering is unacceptable, while a malformed
SIBLING was skipped — yet siblings are the only thing the duplicate check
reads.

Adds a scan_incomplete verdict that refuses and names the offending file, so an
operator can quarantine or repair it. Fail-closed alone would let one stale
corrupt manifest wedge every dispatch for that planning dir permanently; naming
the file is what makes refusing survivable. malformed_existing is untouched, so
the target/sibling distinction stays visible. The docstring is updated — it
previously stated a rule the function did not keep.

memFs() gains an optional failReads map so these branches are reachable at all;
they had zero coverage because the fake could not express a per-file read
fault. The signature is additive and every existing caller is unchanged.

The regression is proved by a pair, not a single test. A control writes a
readable sibling holding a genuine non-terminal duplicate and asserts
duplicate_plan_id, establishing the scenario is real; the regression then makes
that same path unreadable and asserts scan_incomplete. A first draft of this
test used a corrupt-JSON fixture containing no plan_id at all while its comment
claimed otherwise — it duplicated the unparseable-sibling case and proved
nothing, which is the defect class this phase exists to remove.

* fix(#3057): make a guard's failure distinguishable from its benign result

Wave 1 of the negative-space backfill: the branches where a guard that could
not verify something reported the same value it reports when everything is
fine. That indistinguishability is the defect; every fix here makes the two
states tellable apart, and every test proves it with a pair — one for the
failure, one for the benign case. A single test cannot establish that two
states are distinguishable, which is the whole property being fixed.

state.cts phaseInventoryProvider returned null for both a real disk-scan
failure and a genuinely empty phases dir, so `state rebuild` could report
success while phase-table reconciliation never ran. It now returns a
discriminated result and the CLI surfaces phase_inventory_scan_failed plus a
reason. The reason field turned out never to have been wired into the emitted
JSON at all — it existed only as an internal variable — so a test could only
assert on the operator-facing note. It is a real field now.

state.cts treated an unreadable lock body the same as an empty one, applying
the 1-second stealable floor. A lock we cannot read is not a lock we know is
stale; an unreadable body is now held to the deadman ceiling like a live
holder.

verification.cts findStaleVerificationSummary returned null on any fs, scan or
clock failure — meaning "not stale". It now returns a discriminated
StaleCheckResult and the caller records that the check was indeterminate.

git-base-branch resolveBaseBranch returned 'main' both when no candidate branch
existed and when every git tier timed out. A diagnostics variant now reports
whether the answer was verified, and the CLI writes an unverified-fallback note
to stderr. The stdout contract five workflows parse is untouched.

worktree-safety snapshotWorktreeInventory left exists:true when statSync threw,
so a guard that could not check reported the worktree present; exists is now
tri-state and a stat failure surfaces as an 'unverified' finding.
planWorktreePrune reported 'no_worktrees' for a parse failure, which is not the
same as an empty list — and it drives a prune. It now reports 'parse_failed'.

Fixing the inventory change exposed a second fail-open in verify.cts: the
validate-health consumer silently dropped findings whose kind it did not
recognise, so the new kind would have vanished. That is closed too — worth
noting that the survey enumerated producers of degraded verdicts, not consumers
that discard them.

worktree-base-ref and state-transition gain the distinguishing signal without
changing what they do: headAbsenceVerified, and a phase-inventory scan meta.
Whether those guards should ACT differently is a product question this change
does not answer, and both are flagged rather than quietly settled.

rescueSummaryArtifacts is left alone: rescuing on an uncertain cat-file is
deliberate per #2556. It now has tests proving it, and a recorded negative
finding — git cat-file -e returns 128 for both "absent from HEAD" and a fatal
error, so "uncertain" and "certain-and-fine" are not separable at the git
level.

* test(#3057): assert typed values, not rendered text

Ten assertions in the rebuild CLI suite matched substrings of produced output —
STATE.md body fields, a markdown table row, an audit-log heading, and JSON keys
read as text. CONTRIBUTING prohibits that: if the code under test produces
text, the test asserts on its structured surface instead.

No production surface had to be built. Every one already existed and was
already compiled into bin/lib: stateExtractField for body fields,
parseMarkdownTable for the phase table, collectSection for the audit-log
section, and result.data.log — already a typed RebuildLogEntry[]. The tests
were matching rendered text sitting next to the structured data.

One of those assertions was passing for the wrong reason. `stdout.includes
('rebuilt')` matched the JSON KEY name, not a value: the dry-run path emits
`mutated` and the real path emits `rebuilt`, so it would have passed whether
the value was true or false. It now asserts the value.

external-job's refusal already had to name the offending file — that naming is
why the fail-closed variant is survivable rather than a permanent wedge — but
the tests proved it by substring of a prose message. The failure result now
carries offendingPath as its own field and the tests assert it by value. The
human message is unchanged; operators read it.

Array membership is left alone. `phaseIds.includes('99')` and
`result.updated.includes('Completed Phases')` are membership checks on real
arrays, not text matching, and converting them would weaken nothing and clarify
nothing.

* test(#3057): execute acquireStateLock instead of grepping its source

The non-EEXIST lock test asserted on the TEXT of the built .cjs and never
called acquireStateLock. It carried an allow-test-rule: architectural-invariant
exemption to permit that. A source grep proves a literal is present in a file,
not that the behaviour works — it is weaker than a liveness test, which at
least runs the code, and it was the only coverage the fatal-errno path had.

Replaced with tests that inject the errno through fs and assert what actually
happens: a fatal EACCES propagates out of acquireStateLock with zero backoff
sleeps, while EAGAIN/EINTR/EINVAL/EIO/ENOENT/ESTALE/EPERM/EBUSY retry once and
succeed. The exemption is removed and its allowlist entry with it.

One old assertion is deliberately not carried over: it checked the retryable
errnos were expressed as a Set rather than an inline literal. That is a shape
check with no runtime signature; the behavioural tests fail if the code reverts
to the old inline check, which is the regression it was really guarding.

The #3057 lock-body tests move into that same file rather than a new one, which
is what lint-test-file-count asks for and puts every acquireStateLock test in
one place.

* fix(#3057): surface an indeterminate staleness check to its callers

An isolated review caught an inconsistency inside this wave. Two of the three
"add the distinguishing signal" fixes wire through to something a user sees:
git base-branch writes an unverified-fallback diagnostic to stderr, and an
unverifiable worktree surfaces as a W020 finding. The third set
staleCheckIndeterminate on readVerificationStatus's result and nothing read it.

A signal nobody consumes leaves the fail-open exactly as silent as before: the
staleness check could fail and the operator saw precisely what they would see
if the answer were genuinely "not stale". That is the defect this issue exists
to remove, so it is not defensible as scaffolding when its two siblings in the
same change already wire through.

All five callers now surface it, each through the channel it already had rather
than a mechanism imposed uniformly: phase complete adds it to its existing
warnings array and, on the blocked path, as an additive note on the error text;
init and roadmap carry it as a field on output they already emit; the UAT
report carries it without ever gating passed/blockers; workstream inventory
takes an injectable writeDiagnostic mirroring the git base-branch idiom,
because its return shape had nowhere to hang a per-phase field without
rippling the builder's types.

The routing decision is unchanged everywhere. What changes is only that a
caller and an operator can now tell a failed check from a completed one.

That diagnostic carries structured meta rather than being asserted by regex —
the default still writes only the human message to stderr, but tests assert
phaseDir and reason by value. Two earlier assertions in this branch were
converted the same way; this was the last raw-text assertion left.

Also records a scope correction: the completePhaseCore guards now compare
stateReplaceField's result to the body instead of testing truthiness, so a
field whose substitution produced identical text no longer reports as updated.
That is a real behaviour fix, not the signal-only change this file was
described as carrying, and its tests cover both the changed and unchanged
cases.

* test(#3057): bound two heavy subprocesses for a loaded bench, not an idle one

The remote matrix surfaced three failures unrelated to this branch's changes.
All were bad tests, and a re-run would have hidden every one of them.

The reviewer-flags parse block bounded bash -> node -> a full gsd-tools cold
start at 5 seconds. On a bench running thirty thousand tests in parallel that
is not a hang, it is a busy machine. Raised to 30s, matching the convention
sibling suites already use for script invocations, with a comment saying what
the budget covers so nobody tightens it back. Two further copies of the same
5-second spawn in the same file had the identical defect and are raised too —
they were not in the failure report, but they will be next time.

The fragment-propagation test bounded npm run regen:derived — a full build plus
eight generators, the heaviest subprocess in the suite — at five minutes, and
node22 was killed near the end. The captured output proves it: every generator
had written its files and gen:install-tree had emitted all fifteen runtimes
before the kill. Raised to fifteen minutes.

That failure read as `null !== 0`, which says nothing. status null means killed,
not a non-zero exit, and the two want different responses: one is a timeout to
size correctly, the other is a real build break. The assertion now distinguishes
them and names the signal.

Neither test's assertions were weakened and no retry was added. A retry here
would suppress exactly the signal the timeout exists to produce.

* test(#3057): capture fd 1 through the mock tracker, not a raw reassignment

The phase suite reported zero test results on both lanes while running for five
and a half minutes and exiting 1. No assertion text, no stderr, four events for
the whole file: enqueue, start, dequeue, complete. That shape is not a failing
assertion — it is the runner being unable to read the child at all, because it
parses its event stream from the child's stdout.

The cause was the capture helper reassigning fs.writeSync directly. Proven
rather than assumed: a standalone probe patched fs.writeSync and called
process.stdout.write, and the interception fired only when fd 1 resolved to a
FILE, not when it was a pipe. The remote runner captures the event stream to a
file, so a helper that was invisible against a pipe swallowed the reporter's own
output on the bench. That is also why the two sibling suites wired the same way
in this change pass cleanly — they use the mock tracker, the seam io.test.cjs
established for this exact function.

The helper now uses t.mock.method with an explicit restore after each call, so
teardown belongs to node:test rather than a second hand-rolled implementation,
and the interception cannot outlive the one synchronous call it wraps even if
that call throws. Ten call sites thread the test context through; three test
callbacks gained the parameter they lacked.

The three B3 tests are untouched — same assertions, same fault injection. Only
how the context reaches the helper changed.

* test(#3057): capture phase-complete output from a subprocess, not fd 1

Two attempts to make in-process fd-1 interception safe both failed on the
bench. The suite reported zero test results on either lane while exiting 1 —
four events for the whole file — because the runner parses its event stream
from the child's stdout, and process.stdout.write routes through fs.writeSync
whenever fd 1 resolves to a file, which is how the runner captures. Patching
that seam anywhere in a file can therefore destroy the file's own reporting,
and tightening the window only moved the runtime from 326s to 125s without
recovering a single event.

So the interception is gone rather than tuned. The helper now spawns gsd-tools
as a real subprocess and reads stdout the way the OS already gives it to us,
which is what the rest of the suite does. It asserts the command succeeded
before parsing, so a genuine failure can no longer present as a JSON parse
error.

The two fault-injecting tests could not survive that move as written: a
subprocess cannot see a mock installed in the parent. Instead of reinstating
the interception they now produce the fault on disk — the summary artifact is
created as a dangling symlink, so the staleness check's real statSync throws
inside the child. That is a more honest fixture than a mock in any case, since
it is a condition a user's tree can actually be in. Skipped on Windows, matching
the existing symlink precedent in the write-guard suite.

Three further call sites turned out to depend on parent-process writeFileSync
mocks the subprocess could not see. Those call the CJS function directly, which
is what they always wanted — they never needed stdout at all.

* fix(#3057): one name for one signal, one encoding for one distinction

Standards review found four things this branch introduced, all of them
inconsistencies with itself rather than with the repo.

One upstream bit reached its consumers under three names —
verification_stale_check_indeterminate in two modules, the same value with
"stale" dropped in a third, and stderr only in the fourth. Standardised on the
long name wherever it is a field. The workstream inventory keeps its stderr
channel, since its return shape has nowhere to hang a per-phase field without
rippling the builder's types, but it now says the same word for the same thing.

worktree-safety encoded one three-way distinction two ways in a single file: a
named union for a finding's kind, and boolean|null for an inventory entry's
existence. The second is now a named union too.

Two assertions matched human prose because the blocked and non-blocked
completion paths carried no typed field for the signal. Both now assert typed
values. The first round of this fix added the field but left the regex beside
it, which is the banned pattern sitting next to its own replacement; the second
removed it and added an assertion on the reason enum so nothing was lost.

The remaining two were reasoned away before being fixed, and both reasons were
bad. "No typed surface exists" is the condition CONTRIBUTING says to fix by
adding one — it took three lines. "The file already does this dozens of times"
is not licence to add instance number thirty-one; a convention that violates a
documented rule is debt, not precedent.

Vocabulary differing across DIFFERENT modules is left alone: CONTEXT.md rejects
a single shared result envelope, so per-module shapes are precedented, and a
baseline smell does not outrank a documented standard.

A census of every line this branch adds to a test file now finds no regex or
substring assertion on produced prose: 87 strictEqual, 25 ok (all non-empty or
shape guards), 12 equal, 3 throws (all typed err.code predicates), 3
deepStrictEqual, 2 notStrictEqual.
