8a56595700 docs(#3574): record ADR-3574 install materialization primitives (#3575)
* docs(#3574): record ADR-3574 install materialization primitives

Epic #2866 phase 6 was scoped on the premise that materializing a layout
is implemented three times and should become one module. Measured against
the tree, the premise does not hold: the three sites overlap in shape and
diverge in mechanism.

applySurface prunes by allow-list precisely so it structurally cannot
delete a user's files. installRuntimeArtifacts wipes a prefix-scoped set
and restores a snapshot. A single writer has to pick one, and picking
either trades a working guarantee for a different one.

So the ADR declines phase 6's first acceptance criterion and says why,
because the next reader who notices three similar loops should find this
file rather than rediscover the conflict. What is extracted instead is the
genuinely shared part: durable user-artifact staging for #1874-F19, reusing
the migration primitive that copies strictly before delete and never
dereferences a symlink, plus the retired-kind prune both callers already
share. The agents bypass closes on its own terms.

Two of the issue's premises were also stale: ten runtimes have already
migrated off the inline agent dispatch, and the duplication comment's
deliberate-until condition is partly met.

Closes #3574

a4a02a7a01 enhance(#2874): return the executed plan and route install IO through a seam (#3568)
* test(#2874): add failing-first gate for the executed-plan return

Four rows from the matrix's red-first order. E3 pins the one early return,
for the opencode family, where a void-shaped hole would otherwise survive
unnoticed. E13 sweeps every runtime in the registry - enumerated from the
registry rather than hardcoded, so a runtime added later cannot slip past.
F2 proves absence of real filesystem contact rather than merely that the
happy path ran, which is the difference between a complete seam and a
partial one.

G1 and G3 are the additive guard and must be green before and after. G3
deliberately leaves the two existing adapter test doubles untouched: if
this change required editing them it would not be additive, and the
acceptance criterion would be unmet.

No production code. All 19 runtimes install without throwing today, so
E3 and E13 fail on the undefined comparison alone.

Refs #2874

* feat(#2874): return the executed plan and route install IO through a seam

installRuntimeArtifacts returned void, so its correctness was observable
only by re-reading disk. It now returns what it executed - per kind, per
scope - including on the combinedFamilyInstall path, which was the one
early return where a void-shaped hole would have survived unnoticed.

Failure still throws rather than becoming an ok:false return, so control
flow is unchanged for both existing callers. A best-effort cleanup that
fails is still swallowed, but is now visible in the returned value rather
than silently absent.

The fs seam is ambient rather than threaded. Explicit deps through
install-profiles and the 3000-line conversion module was impractical; the
tradeoff, the synchronous-only re-entrancy assumption, the restore
guarantee and the partial-adapter fallback trap are all documented at the
seam. findInstallSourceRoot and its sibling stay unrouted by design -
they locate the package's own source, not the install destination.

readCmdNames keeps a second implementation because the standalone CLI
that owns the original cannot require the compiled adapter without a
build-order dependency on its own output. A parity test fails if the two
ever disagree.

Refs #2874

* chore(#2874): gitignore the new build artifact

install-fs-adapter.cjs is tsc output from src/install-fs-adapter.cts, not
a tracked source file. It was added to eslint's ignore list but not to
.gitignore, so it landed as a tracked file - the third time this step of
the new-.cts ripple has been missed on this epic.

Refs #2874

* fix(#2874): close two seam leaks and correct a false comment

A correctness review found the seam still leaked in two places, both
subtler than the three already closed.

readGsdCommandNames was routed when it should not have been: it reads the
package's own commands directory, which a destination-fake is never
seeded with, so under a fake adapter it returned an empty or wrong roster
instead of failing loudly. It now reads real fs, matching the precedent
already documented for findInstallSourceRoot.

cleanupStagedSkills ran raw rmSync from a process exit handler, which is
real filesystem work deferred past the point where withInstallFs has
restored - the one thing the synchronous-only contract exists to
exclude. Staging now captures the adapter that created each directory and
cleanup replays it, so a real install cleans up exactly as before and a
fake-staged path never reaches the real filesystem.

Also corrected a comment claiming the migration reads were an unrouted,
untested residual gap. They are routed and exercised; a comment
understating the seam is as corrosive as one overstating it in a module
whose trust rests on being honestly documented.

Refs #2874

* test(#2874): migrate the exemplar group and cover the matrix

AC3's exemplar migration lands in place: the qwen install group now
asserts skills and agents destinations from the returned plan in one
deepStrictEqual instead of probing the filesystem for each.

Nine facts the old probes established were enumerated first. Two moved to
the value assertion; seven were retained deliberately - per-file SKILL.md
existence, the VERSION file written outside this function, the manifest
content, and the post-uninstall absence checks all sit outside the plan's
per-kind contract. A migration that quietly asserts less looks like a win
and is a regression, so the enumeration is the guard rather than the
line count.

Also implements the rest of the matrix: the executed-plan shape, adapter
failure modes, the security-boundary rows including a fake that cannot
certify an install the real filesystem would refuse, cleanup visibility,
and two seeded property tests. Only the two external CI gates are left
unticked, because self-certifying them would be a claim rather than a
check.

Refs #2874

* fix(#2874): restore streaming hashes and derive F2 from the boundary rule

The checkpoint found three things reasoning had missed.

sha256File had been converted from raw-fd streaming to a single
readFileSync on the assumption that GSD artifacts are never large. A test
named for exactly that contract already existed and went red. Streaming is
restored, now routed through the adapter, which gains openSync, readSync
and closeSync. The contract was the specification; the assumption was not.

Three existing tests inject faults by monkeypatching real fs. They broke
because mkInstallTempDir stopped calling real mkdtempSync, not because of
any binding subtlety - the real adapter was already late-bound. It now
calls the real function when no fake is injected, so a monkeypatch applied
after import is still seen and the additive contract holds.

F2 poisoned real fs by method, so a deliberately unrouted package-source
read failed a correct design. It now poisons by path: destination IO is
forbidden, package-source IO is allowed and positively asserted. The claim
was always zero real destination IO, and the test now derives from that
rule instead of coincidentally matching it.

Refs #2874

* docs(#2874): add the contributor how-to for plan-based test migration

The phase gate caught a real gap. The docs plan was Reference plus
Explanation only, and every CI check would have passed, because the
docs-required lint only verifies that some file under docs/ moved.

But this phase exists to demonstrate a pattern for follow-on work, and
that work is other contributors migrating probing test groups. The
sequence has two live traps - a partial fake silently falls back to real
fs, and the seam is ambient and synchronous-only - plus one discipline
nobody infers: enumerate the facts before converting, or you assert less
and call it a win.

The page carries the qwen migration's arithmetic, nine facts enumerated
and only two converted, because a reader seeing only the diff would
reasonably conclude the pattern is to replace probes wholesale.

No locale mirrors: none of the four carries any contributor-only how-to,
so a single translated file would manufacture parity rather than provide
it.

* chore(#2874): backfill changeset pr number

* test(#2874): normalize both sides of the G1 tree comparison

G1 failed on Windows only, deterministically on both shards. The defect
was in the test helper, not production.

_computePathPrefix posix-normalizes the resolved config dir
unconditionally, so on Windows the path embedded in every emitted
SKILL.md body is forward-slash form. hashDirTree stripped against the raw
backslash path from mkdtempSync, so the substring never matched and each
install's unique temp suffix stayed baked into every file - all fifteen
skill bodies hashed differently for two runs that had written identical
bytes.

Both sides are now normalized unconditionally rather than gated on
path.sep, matching the rule this repo already records: backslash paths
arrive on Linux too.

Production code is untouched and was verified correct. Normalizing this
away on the production side would have hidden a real portability bug if
one had existed.

c5b83cb050 chore(#3560): delete two unreachable workflows, gate workflow reachability in lint (#3564)
* chore(#3560): delete two unreachable workflows, gate reachability in lint

discovery-phase.md and plan-milestone-gaps.md shipped to all 19 runtime
install trees with no command, agent, or skill referencing them.
plan-milestone-gaps' command was deleted by #2790 and the workflow was
left behind; discovery-phase's own header claimed a caller in
plan-phase.md's mandatory_discovery step, and that step does not exist —
plan-phase.md contains zero occurrences of "discovery".

docs/INVENTORY.md asserted discovery-phase.md was an alternate entry for
/gsd-new-project. new-project.md never referenced it. The row and the
matching note sentence are removed across all five locales rather than
corrected.

Adds rule 6 to lint-command-contract: every shipped workflow must be
reachable from a loader, walking the transitive closure over the three
reference shapes this repo uses. The closure seeds ONLY from
commands/agents/skills, so a workflow that references only itself and a
pair that reference only each other are both correctly reported rather
than satisfying themselves; a visited set makes reference cycles
terminate. The measure is a mention in a LOADER — docs/ and install-tree
fixtures deliberately do not count, because scan.md proved a file can be
documented and shipped while entirely unreached.

Ships blocking, not report-only: #3561 is in this branch's base, so the
tree reports 0 unreachable from the start.

Closes #3560

* test(#3560): drive rule 6 end-to-end, sweep a stale allowlist, update ADR-0002

Review findings.

Rule 6 had no end-to-end coverage: the tests exercised the pure closure
with in-memory data, so the wiring — file collection, exit code,
diagnostic — was unproven, and #3560's acceptance list explicitly wants
a fixture showing the rule FAILS on a planted orphan. Adds an optional
--root to lint-command-contract (default behavior unchanged) and four
tests driving the real CLI through the process seam against a temp
fixture: clean=0, planted orphan=1, orphan referenced only from docs/=1,
orphan reachable transitively=0. The docs/ case is what pins the
Goodhart defense — a mention outside a loader must not confer
reachability.

Deletes two tests that were byte-identical to a third and could not
assert anything loader-specific, since the closure is source-agnostic by
design; that distinction lives in the lint script's file collection and
is now covered above.

Removes a stale ALLOWLIST entry for discovery-phase.md in
planner-language-regression — the exact sweep-miss class rule 6 exists
to catch, found in the PR that adds the rule.

ADR-0002 described five per-file frontmatter checks; rule 6 is a
repo-level reachability graph, so the Decision section now says so.

Refs #3560

* test(#3560): cut the bug-3298 test pin on the deleted plan-milestone-gaps workflow

The remote runner went red with four failures: tests/phase.test.cjs
asserted the plan-milestone-gaps workflow exists and checked its mkdir
patterns, so deleting the file broke the test that pinned it. This is the
fence the epic describes — the content-sync test IS what keeps an
unreachable file alive — and cutting the coupling is what makes the
deletion safe.

Removes only that arm. The bug-3298 block guards three workflows against
phase-dir prefix drift; the import and add-backlog arms and both shared
mkdir-pattern helpers are untouched.

Worth recording where the sweep failed: my reachability walk covered
commands, agents, skills, gsd-core and docs, and lint-removed-but-needed
covers .github/workflows, gsd-core, docs and package.json. Neither looks
at tests/, so a test-pinned deletion is invisible to both and surfaces
only on the remote runner. The how-to added by this PR names that gap
explicitly so the next deletion searches tests/ by hand.

1591454357 feat(#3409): reject shell guards that cannot observe their own failure arm (#3558)
* test(#3409): failing-first regression tests for unreachable shell guard arms

Drives the three live defects fail-first, executing the shipped workflow
snippets rather than a re-typed copy:

- G1/G2 plan-phase.md Walking Skeleton gate reads `--pick summaries_total`,
  a field that does not exist, so PRIOR_SUMMARIES is always "" and the gate
  has never fired (#3365). G2 is the load-bearing negative-space case: it
  rejects a fix that treats "no answer" as "zero" and fires unconditionally.
- G3 plan-phase.md PHASE_REQ_IDS resolves "" instead of the TBD sentinel on
  a phase with zero requirements.
- G4 complete-milestone.md's bare `cat <glob>` blocks on stdin under a
  nullglob left set by an earlier block (measured hang).

Skipped on Windows for G4 only: the FIFO-blocked-stdin mechanism is POSIX
only, and a weakened assertion there would pass vacuously.

Refs #3409

* fix(#3409): make nine shell guards observe their own failure arm

`--pick` coerces a missing field to empty string and exits 0, so the
`|| echo <default>` fallback after it fires only on a verb typo, never on
the field absence it was written for. Nine sites relied on that arm.

- plan-phase.md walking-skeleton gate: `--pick summaries_total` names a
  field that does not exist under any flag combination, so the gate has
  never fired on any project (#3365). Repointed at the existing single
  owner, `phases.list --type summaries --pick count`, which returns a real
  integer in every case including a project with no `.planning` directory.
  No new counter is added: a second one would duplicate the ownership
  ADR-3180 Decision 1 forbids. The gate now fires only on a literal "0",
  so an unanswerable query fails safe instead of entering skeleton mode.
- plan-phase.md phase_req_ids: now falls back to the documented TBD.
- The remaining seven convert to an explicit empty test.
- complete-milestone.md read all phase summaries through a bare
  `cat <glob>`; under a nullglob left set by an earlier block that is zero
  operands, so cat blocks on stdin. Guarded with the array shape the
  #3300 fix already established in review.md.

Refs #3409

* fix(#3409): guard eleven more globs that defeat their own fallback arm

The nullglob audit this issue asks for turned up the same class in files
#3300 never touched.

- Eight bare `cat <glob>` reads (transition, complete-milestone, planner x4,
  verifier, phase-researcher). With nullglob set that is zero operands, so
  cat reads stdin and blocks; measured rc=137 at 3s.
- Three `ls <glob> || echo "<message>"` sites (session-report,
  review-backlog and its generated skill). nullglob makes ls succeed
  listing the cwd, so the message never prints and the user gets a
  directory listing instead.

Guarded with `[ -e "${_ARR[0]}" ]` rather than `[ ${#_ARR[@]} -gt 0 ]`.
The count form is correct only when nullglob is set, and six of these
seven files never set it: without it the array holds the unmatched literal
pattern, so the count is 1 and the guard passes wrongly. `-e` is correct
in both worlds. review.md keeps its count guards — that block sets
nullglob two lines above them.

skills/gsd-review-backlog regenerated from commands/, never hand-edited.

Refs #3409

* feat(#3409): add the unreachable-shell-guard drift lint

A sibling of lint-planning-prompt-drift.cjs, consuming the shared
scripts/lib/drift-scan.cjs rather than copying it, wired into lint:ci.

Both detectors are one shape — a fallback arm defeated by a legitimate
success-on-empty:

- Detector A: `--pick` and `|| echo` on one line. `--pick` is the
  discriminator because "missing field renders empty at exit 0" is a
  documented CLI contract, not a heuristic. A rule keyed on gsd_run
  matched 111 lines, ~132 of them legitimate, and was rejected.
- Detector B: `cat <glob>` in command position, and `ls <glob>` whose
  exit code feeds a real fallback or an if/while head. Informational
  `ls <glob>` whose stdout is consumed (97 sites) and `|| true` failure
  suppression (~15) are not guards and never fire.

Shrink-only ratchet keyed on (file, trimmed text) with a per-pair count,
POSIX-normalized unconditionally so Windows CI cannot report everything
fresh and stale at once. Ships with a ZERO-entry baseline: every site it
can find is fixed. Exemption is the per-line `# gsd-scan-ignore: #NNN`
marker whose reason must name an issue or URL; a malformed reason reports
a distinct error rather than silently exempting. No file allowlists.

ADR-3409 records the invariant, the measurements behind both detectors,
and why the upstream `--pick` contract fix belongs to #3473.

Refs #3409

* fix(#3409): resolve review findings — typed surface, sanitized reports, tighter marker

Standards axis (blocker): the guard's tests asserted on human-readable
stdout/stderr and on free-form baseline-load prose, which CONTRIBUTING
prohibits by name. Added the typed surface it prescribes instead of
weakening the tests: a frozen REASON enum, a --json report mode,
structured loadBaseline errors, and a test locking Object.keys(REASON)
so a new reason stays three coordinated changes.

Security axis: sanitizeForReport covered every violation field but not
the baseline-load error path, which embeds raw JSON.stringify output --
that escapes nothing above 0x1f, so bidi and C1 controls reached CI logs
unfiltered. Routed through the sanitizer at the output seam.

Security axis: the scan-ignore marker accepted `#0` and a bare
`http://`. Tightened to a positive issue number and a URL with a host.
This diverges deliberately from the sibling in
tests/commit-files-pathspec.test.cjs, whose looser form was copied
verbatim; the header now records the divergence.

Security axis: G4 built its FIFO with `mktemp -u`, reserving a name
without creating it. Now created inside a `mktemp -d` directory.

Spec axis: ADR-3409 claimed a ninth site landed after the issue was
filed. git blame disproves it -- all nine predate it; the issue's hand
count missed one. Corrected. The design and test matrix still specified
B9 as a FLAG after implementation reversed it to PASS; both now record
the reversal and why.

Refs #3409

* docs(#3409): add the how-to for resolving unreachable-guard findings

Reference and Explanation are carried by ADR-3409; this is the
task-oriented quadrant CI cannot check for.

The page exists mainly for one thing the lint structurally cannot catch:
both `[ -e "${_ARR[0]}" ]` and `[ ${#_ARR[@]} -gt 0 ]` remove the glob
from the command and therefore both pass, but the count form is correct
only when nullglob is set — and nullglob is usually set in a different
block of the same file. A reference table cannot carry that; a how-to can.

Also documents the reason codes, so a reader can tell "nothing to report"
from "could not look".

No tutorial: this is a gate inside an existing CI loop, not a new entry
point a newcomer starts from.

Refs #3409

* fix(#3409): bring the touched prompt files back under their size gates

The remote run was red on 14 tests, all size/attribution, none of them
the regression suite.

- agents/gsd-planner.md was 194 chars over a 49152 cap enforced by four
  separate tests, each of which says the remedy is extraction, not a bump.
  It had 41 chars of headroom before this branch. Its `## Checkpoint
  Types` section was an unlinked, condensed duplicate of
  references/checkpoints.md, which already carries all three types and
  their XML shapes; the section now points there and keeps the three
  names and percentages inline. Net -969, margin 1010.
- gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase.md sat 2 chars under a comfortable
  margin assertion. Dropped the AUTO_MODE default: the `|| echo "false"`
  it replaced was unreachable, so the value was already sometimes empty
  on next, and its only consumer compares against `true`. Net -16.
  Left plan-phase.md's AUTO_CHAIN default alone -- that file names an
  explicit `false` branch, so empty would match neither branch.
- Acknowledged the seven prompt files that genuinely grew, one specific
  reason each. Five of those paths were already claimed by spent
  fragments identical to next, which blocks a second source naming the
  same path; removed just the colliding key from each, deleting the two
  that this emptied.

Refs #3409

* test(#3409): extract the whole PHASE_REQ_IDS block, not just its first line

G3 failed on the remote runner with '' !== 'TBD'. The test was wrong, not
the workflow.

The shipped contract is now two consecutive lines -- the capture and the
`${PHASE_REQ_IDS:-TBD}` default -- but the helper's `^PREFIX=.*$` regex
returns only the first match, so the test executed half the contract and
correctly observed the empty string. Renamed to extractAssignmentBlockFor
and taught it to consume the contiguous run of lines sharing the prefix.

The assertion is untouched: TBD is the right expectation, and weakening
it to accept the empty string would have reinstated exactly the class
this suite exists to catch -- a check that cannot observe the thing it
is checking.

extractFencedBashAfterAnchor is unaffected: it is fence-delimited rather
than line-anchored, so G1/G2/G4 still capture their full blocks.

Refs #3409

* chore(#3409): drop a spent ack fragment that collided on complete-milestone.md

#3458 landed on next while this branch was in flight and its fragment
claims complete-milestone.md, which this branch also grows. Two ack
sources may never name the same path.

Its entry is spent: the +9163 it explains is already absorbed at base, so
it can no longer clear anything, and the checker's own guidance for spent
entries is to delete them. Removing the key emptied the fragment, so the
file goes too -- an empty one signals nothing.

Refs #3409

* chore(#3409): backfill changeset pr number 3558

* test(#3409): hoist a regex subject out of exec() to clear the injection scan

CI's prompt-injection scan flagged `MARKER_RE.exec('# gsd-scan-ignore: ...')`.
The pattern `exec[[:space:]]*\(["']` is receiver-blind on purpose, so it
catches `require('child_process').exec('...')` -- and the scanner's own
header records that RegExp.prototype.exec is collateral, to be handled by
its allowlist.

Allowlisting the file would blind it to the real exec vector permanently,
so the subject is hoisted into a const instead: same assertion, scanner
left at full strength, no security surface widened.

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

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

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

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

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

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

## One enumeration, not four

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

Three properties are load-bearing:

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

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

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

## Tests

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

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

Closes #3458

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

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

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

## The regression

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

                   each `[{"scan_error":true,…}]`
  the regression:  each `[]`

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

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

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

## The operator could not see the archive

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

## Archived milestones sorted wrong

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

## Tests

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Why not just harden sanitizeForDisplay

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

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

## Nine sites, not four

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

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

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

* chore(#3458): backfill changeset pr number

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

## The prompt does not change

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

## The marker lives inside the artifact

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Observable, not silent

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

## Writer

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

## Two deliberate limits, failing closed

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

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

## Tests

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

Closes #3458

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

Consumer side of the suppression seam.

## The workflow stops hand-authoring the mechanism

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

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

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

## Format drift resolved

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

## Ack fragment bookkeeping

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

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

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

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

Closes #3458

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

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

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

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

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

## Writing to the wrong line, and reporting success

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

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

## Acknowledging todos hid the ones never shown

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

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

## The [A] branch could not fail closed

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

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

## Also

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

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

## Why these shipped

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

Closes #3458

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Writing to the wrong entry, again

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

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

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

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

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

## The digest was blind past the third question

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

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

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

## Sweep

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

Closes #3458

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

66ad3d6250 test(#3523): rewrite two undetected source-greps as behavioral tests (#3548)
* test(#3523): rewrite two undetected source-greps as behavioral tests

Both sites read a real shipped hook and text-searched it, and both were
invisible to local/no-source-grep because the path was bound to a separate
const the rule never resolves back to its literal.

tests/check-update-config-dir.test.cjs carried three such reads, not the
one the issue cites. All three are replaced by a harness that runs the
real hooks/gsd-check-update.js under a fake HOME and observes the config
dirs detectConfigDir resolved, via the env the hook hands its worker.
Coverage now includes the CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR precedence cases and the
full adjacent-pair search order the deleted static grep only asserted
for one pair.

tests/security-prompt-injection.security.test.cjs asserted the scanner
hook's SOURCE TEXT contained each canonical MARKDOWN_LINK_PATTERNS regex
source. It now drives probes through the real hook and asserts the
emitted ruleId, with a completeness gate so a new canonical pattern
without a probe fails loudly, plus safePredicate parity the text grep
never checked.

No allow-test-rule marker is added. The now-false marker on
check-update-config-dir.test.cjs is removed and its identity-allowlist
entry pruned, which the ratchet requires.

Refs #3464

* feat(#3523): emit typed findings IR from the read-injection scanner

The scanner built a structured findings array internally and discarded the
structure when rendering its advisory sentence, so the only thing a test
could assert on was that prose. CONTRIBUTING's 'Prohibited: Raw Text
Matching on Test Outputs' names that exact situation and prescribes adding
the typed surface rather than matching the text.

findings is now an array of {ruleId, match} records and the advisory is
derived from it through a single renderFinding mapper, so the rendered
text and the IR cannot drift. The array is emitted additively on
hookSpecificOutput for both the advisory and blocking output shapes.

The advisory string itself is unchanged, byte for byte: verified across
six payload shapes (single markdown-link hit, 3+ finding HIGH, invisible
unicode, unicode tag block, injection-pattern-only, mixed) by running the
pristine and modified hooks against identical stdin and comparing. 28
existing assertions across four suites substring-match that string.

The #3523 parity assertions now read the IR, and a new test binds the two
surfaces together by asserting every MD-LINK ruleId in findings appears in
the advisory and that the reported pattern count matches findings.length.

Refs #3464

* docs(#3523): document the read-injection scanner output contract

The scanner had no subsection under Security Hooks, only a one-line table
row. Documents its trigger events, severity thresholds, skip conditions,
rule ids, and the findings IR added alongside the advisory.

Refs #3464

* fix(#3523): bind every finding family to the advisory, freeze rule ids

Two review findings on the typed-IR commit.

The parity test filtered on MD-LINK- and so bound only one of the four
finding families to the rendered advisory; the other three were covered
only by the pattern count, which catches a length mismatch but not wrong
text. It now drives a payload producing all four families at once,
asserts all four are present so it cannot silently degrade, and checks
each one's expected rendering against an expectation table coded
independently of the hook's own mapper.

The three synthetic rule ids were written twice each — once at the push
site, once in renderFinding — so a rename at one site would fall through
the generic render branch with no signal. They are now a frozen RULE_IDS
constant referenced from both. No string value changed; the advisory
remains byte-identical across all six proof payloads.

Isolated security review found resolveSpecRootReference's fence tracker
toggled on any delimiter, so a backtick fence could be closed by a tilde
one and an include in the gap was rewritten inside a code block. Fixed by
reusing scanFencedBlocks - the canonical engine already behind
stripFencedCode and extractFencedBlock - rather than carrying a fourth
copy of fence detection, which also closes the duplication the standards
review flagged.

sanitizeForRender now strips combining marks and zero-width characters
alongside the ANSI, control and bidi classes it already handled.

Adds the C, E and F matrix rows the spec review found missing, including
installer-level coverage that spawns the real install rather than calling
the report builder. Ships the how-to, the reference and command docs in
five locales, the changeset, the inventory and glossary entries, and
regenerates health.md for the new W028 rule.

411196bc3a refactor(#3471): one enforcement point for the empty case, and reports that match the disk (#3519)
* refactor(#3471): one enforcement point for the empty case, and reports that match the disk

Implements ADR-3408 section 8.5 and section 8.4's residue (folded in when Phase
3 closed as subsumed). Four items, and two findings the design did not predict.

FINDING 1 — the guards could not simply be deleted, as the design instructed.
state sync and REGENERATE_STATE never run applyStatePreservation at all, so
those six conditions were their ONLY empty-field fallback. A baseline probe on
the unedited tree confirmed unconditional deletion drops current_phase,
current_phase_name, current_plan, stopped_at and paused_at from a blank-body
STATE.md on state sync — breaking the byte-identical requirement section 8.3
grants those two sanctioned-permanent exceptions. They are now GATED, not
deleted: on for the exceptions, off for the write seam, where an empty derived
value finally reaches the executor unmolested.

FINDING 2, the more serious one — there was a FOURTH encoding of this policy.
The pre-existing #2202 unknown-key carry-forward loop independently restored
the same six fields whenever derivedFm lacked the key, completely neutralizing
the fix. It is named nowhere in the ADR, the design, or three prior phases. It
was found only because a probe that should have passed did not: the first
attempt reported divergedFields: [] and silently restored both fields,
reproducing the exact bug this phase exists to close.

That is worth stating plainly. This epic's thesis is 'policy declared in one
table, enforcement hand-rolled per call site.' The final phase found one more
call site than anyone had counted — which is the fourth consecutive time a copy
count in this epic proved to be a lower bound.

Also: divergedFields could only observe fields the executor actively RESTORED,
by diffing postFm. A discard-to-empty is absent both before and after, so it
was invisible. A second pass now reports it, which is what makes section 8.5's
'preservation is visible' true for the delete-the-body-line case rather than
aspirational.

cmdPhaseComplete now reports what it preserved — #3374 was filed against that
command and its complaint was warnings: [], silence.

cmdStateJson's private third copy of the guards is routed onto the executor's
preserve-when-unchanged rule. A read is definitionally not a write, so the
#1230 delta is 'unchanged' and curated wins over a stale annotation.
shouldPreserveExistingProgress is a different rule and is untouched.

Report reconciliation is ONE shared helper across seven commands, not five
copies of fix(#3351)'s block. Five copies of a reconciliation is precisely the
shape this epic removes, and introducing it in the final phase would have been
a poor joke. Both untraced commands were traced rather than assumed:
cmdStatePlannedPhase matched cmdStateBeginPhase exactly; cmdStateCompletePhase
turned out to be a different legacy hand-rolled path reporting a mix of field
names AND a section name, where the naive helper would have dropped 'Current
Position' as a false negative every time.

* test(#3471): characterization coverage for one enforcement point and reconciled reports

Matrix sections A-E, asserted at the consumer's output per ADR-3180 Decision
4(b)/(c) — this phase owes Decision 5's outcome metric, the one the drift
guard's zero may never be reported without.

Three walls matter more than the new coverage:

  A2 is SIX separately named tests, one per gated guard, not one parameterised
  assertion over a list. A list is trivially shortened later; six named tests
  are not, and six guards is exactly where a field gets silently dropped.

  A6 pins what Phases 1-3 already fixed — non-empty stale body, delta
  unchanged, losing to fresher curated frontmatter, with the divergence
  reported. If A6 reddens, this phase broke the thing the epic was for.

  D1/D2 pin state sync byte-identical. The implementation had to GATE the six
  guards rather than delete them precisely because state sync has no executor,
  and a baseline probe showed unconditional deletion drops five fields.
  Nothing else in the suite would notice that regression.

E6 covers #3345's direction — a field preservation restored that the intent
never named IS reported. Nothing has ever tested that direction.

Assertions were empirically verified against the compiled lib and the real CLI
before being written, since the suite cannot be executed locally. That caught
two type bugs in the draft: fm.current_phase after a quoted-YAML round-trip is
the string '5', not the number 5.

E5 is recorded as structurally unreachable rather than weakened or faked. Those
four commands report body Title-Case labels, which cannot string-collide with a
frontmatter snake_case key the way cmdStatePatch's arbitrary field names can —
which is why fix(#3351) targeted only cmdStatePatch. Testing it directly would
need reconcileReportedFields exported from private scope; the helper is
exercised through E6 and all seven commands instead.

* docs(#3471): amend ADR-3408 section 8.5 — a fourth enforcement point, and guards that could not be deleted

Amendment 3. The contract held; two of section 8.5's own statements did not.

It said the six empty-only guards are DELETED. They cannot be. writeStateMd is
the sole path for both section 8.3 sanctioned-permanent exceptions and never
runs applyStatePreservation, so those guards were their only empty-field
fallback. A baseline probe on the unedited tree confirmed unconditional
deletion drops five fields from a blank-body STATE.md on state sync, breaking
the byte-identical guarantee section 8.3 grants it. They are gated instead.

It also mis-located cmdStateJson's guards, describing them as living in
syncStateFrontmatter. They were a separate private copy on the read path with
no delta check at all, so a stale body annotation always beat fresher curated
frontmatter in state.json — #3395's shape entirely outside the write seam.

THE FINDING: a fourth enforcement point nobody had counted. The pre-existing
#2202 unknown-key carry-forward loop independently restored the same six
fields, silently neutralizing the fix. It is named nowhere in this ADR, in the
phase design, or in three prior phases, and was found only because a probe that
should have passed did not.

Fourth consecutive time a copy count in this epic proved a lower bound: 2
write-seam bypasses became 4, three preservation encodings became four, and the
estimate was wrong every time. ADR-3180's standing rule has earned itself in
every phase — read the code, not the write-up.

Records the Row 2 decision (a discard-to-empty wins per the delta rule and is
reported, not silent — the sharpest Hyrum exposure in the epic), section 8.4's
residue landing as ONE shared reconcileReportedFields across seven commands
rather than five copies, and the parity assertion added because
FRONTMATTER_KEY_TO_BODY_LABEL was itself a second table that failed silently —
this epic's shape in miniature, in its final phase.

* fix(#3471): repair four regressions the checkpoint caught

Checkpoint returned 16 failures of 34389: six real regressions in pre-existing
tests, plus seven of my own test bugs.

My hypothesis was wrong and is recorded as such. I predicted the #2202
carry-forward skip was the cause, reasoning it had removed a load-bearing
fallback the way the six guards nearly were. It was not implicated in any of
the six. Three unrelated causes:

#2111 — current_phase came back undefined from milestone complete, which is
the epic's own defect class reintroduced by its final phase. Root cause is
Row 2 working exactly as designed: milestoneCompleteCore rewrites the body
Phase: line to a closure message, so current_phase's #1230 delta reads
CHANGED and the new rule correctly discards the curated value. The transition
never declared any intent to touch that field. Fixed by re-asserting
current_phase and current_phase_name through authoritativeFm — the existing
#2736 mechanism beginPhaseCore and completePhaseCore already use — rather
than by weakening Row 2, which A5 pins.

That interaction is worth naming: a rule that keys on 'did this write change
the body source' will fire on a transition that moves the body line for an
entirely unrelated reason. The design did not anticipate it.

#1264 / #3242 / the state.patch progress report — reconcileReportedFields
folded EVERY divergedFields entry into updated, including preserve-always
progress restores no caller asked about. Now scoped to preserve-when-unchanged
rows only.

#1162 / case-insensitive table fields — valueOf checked frontmatter before
body, so a lowercase table field name exact-matched the lowercase frontmatter
key sync always derives, comparing stale pre-sync body text against a
post-sync frontmatter enum. Flipped to body-first.

That last one is the SAME lesson as Phase 2's patchCore, recurring in a
different function two phases later: in this model the body is authoritative
and frontmatter is the projection, so a name that could mean either resolves
body-first. Twice now.

Test bugs: a stray unused parameter shifted every argument at six call sites,
so body arrived undefined; and A4 compared nested progress scalars against
numbers when extractFrontmatter returns raw YAML strings. The string-vs-number
YAML round-trip has now been caught three times in this phase alone.

* test(#3471): one helper for the progress coercion that bit four times

A2f failed on the string-vs-number YAML round-trip: extractFrontmatter returns
nested progress scalars as raw YAML strings, so a comparison against numeric
literals can never pass.

This is the FOURTH time this exact class has been caught in this phase — twice
during test authoring, once as A4 in the previous checkpoint, now as A2f.
Patching it a fourth time by hand would guarantee a fifth.

Added numericProgress() with a comment saying why it exists, and routed every
progress-reading assertion in the #3471 block through it. Swept the block:
C3 needed no change, because cmdStateJson's output already runs through
normalizeProgressNumbers.

Deliberately NOT shared with frontmatter.test.cjs's readPersistedProgress:
that one is path-based and re-reads from disk, while these assert on an
in-memory string that is never written. Sharing would have meant either a
disk round-trip these tests do not do, or duplicating half the helper — so
the coercion pattern is mirrored locally and the reason recorded, rather
than manufacturing a dependency to satisfy the letter of consolidation.

7a02f98574 fix(#3493): confine key_links from:/to: to the project directory (#3506)
`cmdVerifyKeyLinks` resolved `from:` and `to:` with `path.join(cwd, <value>)` where the value comes verbatim from plan YAML. `path.join` normalizes `../` rather than rejecting it, so a plan travelling with a repository could name any file the process can read, and the command reports whether the link's `pattern` matched it — an arbitrary-file-read oracle reachable from `verify-phase`.

Both reads now go through `validatePath` in src/security.cts, the existing realpath-based confinement seam already used at 11 call sites. Not a missing capability — a bypassed one.

Two defects in that seam, found by adversarial review and fixed here because they affect all 11 callers:

1. A dangling in-project symlink escaped confinement. A link to an EXISTING outside path was refused (realpath lands outside) while a link to a MISSING outside path took the parent-resolution fallback and was accepted — an existence oracle for arbitrary absolute paths. lstat succeeds on a dangling link and throws ENOENT on a truly absent path; an unresolvable link is now refused. A symlink resolving inside the project is still accepted.

2. A canonicalized base was compared against an uncanonicalized path when a file and its parent were both missing, wrongly refusing legitimate in-project paths on any non-canonical cwd (every macOS temp dir). This was a live regression in this PR: the wave-pending classification (#1202) depends on the not-yet-created case. Resolution now walks up to the nearest existing ancestor.

Two adjacent aborts fixed: the from: read sat outside the per-link try, so a non-ENOENT errno killed the whole command; and an empty from: read the cwd directory, throwing EISDIR. Both now fail per-link.

The issue was filed as a fourth ADR-0174 consolidation loss. It is not one — validatePath/requireSafePath never went away, only the SDK's name for the concept did. This is an instance of epic #3473's F2 family. The ADR-0174 loss count is three.

Closes #3493

e2f4c16d9e refactor(#3469): one composition for the STATE.md write seam (#3501)
* docs(#3469): amend ADR-3408 section 8.3 — the pipeline has sanctioned exceptions

Section 8.3 read 'Every STATE.md write applies the pipeline.' That is false by
design for two commands, and acting on it would have inverted a shipped
feature.

Preservation makes curated frontmatter win over a re-derived body value.
state sync exists to do the opposite — #905's 'body annotation beats existing
frontmatter when both are present'; it re-derives frontmatter FROM the body.
REGENERATE_STATE is a factory reset that rebuilds STATE.md from scratch.
Applying the pipeline to either would re-lock exactly what the command was
invoked to replace.

This issue's own scope line, inherited from the epic, said to route the direct
writeStateMd callers through the pipeline. For cmdStateSync that would have
shipped silently, with every gate green, because no test asserts that sync
LETS the body win. Caught by reading the helper's docstring and then verifying
the claim against the code — a stale comment had already misdirected this epic
once.

Both commands are now named in a closed exception list and are permanent
ratchet entries.

Consequence recorded rather than left to bite Phase 4: the 'drive the ratchet
to 0 and delete the file' target in this ADR and in #3471 is wrong. Two
entries are permanent, so the correct end state is 2, and the honest report is
'0 removable bypasses, 2 sanctioned'. A guard reaching 0 here would only do so
by having stopped looking at two real writers.

* refactor(#3469): one composition for the write seam, not one per caller

Implements ADR-3408 section 8.3 as amended.

syncAndPreserveStateMd is now the single composition of syncStateFrontmatter
and applyPostSyncPreservation. readModifyWriteStateMd and cmdPhaseComplete
both CALL it instead of each assembling the two steps themselves.
cmdPhaseComplete keeps its own writePlanningFileSet envelope — the
composition returns content, it does not take over the write, so STATE.md
still commits atomically with ROADMAP and REQUIREMENTS.

Assembling the stages at a call site is a re-derivation even when every step
calls an owner. Upstream's fix(#3374) routed cmdPhaseComplete through
applyPostSyncPreservation but left it calling syncStateFrontmatter directly
first, so the composition was duplicated and free to diverge with both guards
green. That is ADR-3180 Amendment 2's finding repeating on the write side.

cmdMilestoneComplete gains preservation. It wrote through writeStateMd, so it
got sync and no preservation — the identical shape #3374 reported for
phase.complete, and flagged upstream as a follow-up in the helper's own
docstring. This is that follow-up.

Divergence is now visible: preservation_warnings names each field restored
over a disagreeing derived value. Deliberately NOT named warnings —
cmdPhaseComplete already exposes warnings as a prose string array, and two
sibling commands carrying that name with different element types is
Generative Fix Divergence, the class this epic exists to remove.

patchCore stops running stateReplaceField over the whole document. One
observable consequence, intended per design row 9: a frontmatter-shaped patch
key with no body counterpart now reports failed instead of silently
succeeding, because the old whole-document match was literally hitting the
YAML line case-insensitively.

The guard closes Phase 1's DECLARED KNOWN GAP as promised rather than
re-deferring it: section 8.3(b) detection is tractable now the composition
exists. Scoped by two factors to avoid Phase 1's measured 29-to-1 false
positive rate — a variable field-name argument AND a content argument whose
nearest preceding assignment is not stripFrontmatter. Verified 0 findings and
0 false positives across all 33 call sites, plus 5 synthetic shapes. It also
detects the re-assembly shape above.

Ratchet: 4 entries to 2, both sanctioned-permanent. cmdStateSync's owner
changes from #3471 to sanctioned-permanent per Amendment 2 — routing it
through preservation would invert the #905 contract.

Also fixed inline rather than deferred: cmdMilestoneComplete's STATE.md read
now happens inside withStateLock. It previously read outside any lock before
writeStateMd took its own, leaving a TOCTOU window under concurrent writers.

* test(#3469): characterization coverage for the single write seam

Matrix sections A-E. Criterion 6 was amended by maintainer decision — all five
instances closed by point fixes while Phase 1 was in flight — so these are
characterization tests at the consumer's output per ADR-3180 Decision 4(b)/(c),
paired with the drift guard's count, never either alone.

Section C is the one that earns its keep. cmdStateSync is a sanctioned
permanent exception: state sync exists to re-derive frontmatter FROM the body,
so preservation there re-locks exactly what the command was invoked to
replace. C1 pins that the body wins; C4 pins that this phase left the command
byte-identical. Nothing else in the suite would notice if a future change made
sync start preserving, and the natural reading of 'one write seam' is to make
precisely that change.

Section E pins the guard's false-positive scoping. E4 (updateCore's
strip-then-replace) and E5 (sectionBody-scoped calls) must NOT be reported —
the naive detector measured 29 false positives to 1 true positive in Phase 1.
E7 is the inverse: a sanctioned-permanent entry disappearing must FAIL,
because a guard reaching zero here would only do so by having stopped looking
at two real writers.

Also corrects a stale test that asserted patchCore's old whole-document
behavior, which this phase deliberately changes.

One honest limitation, flagged rather than papered over: A1's 'byte-identical
to pre-refactor' cannot be diffed against real pre-refactor bytes from inside
the suite. It is implemented as the seeded fast-check property that
cmdPhaseComplete's composed output equals readModifyWriteStateMd's for the
same inputs — the strongest available proxy, not the literal claim.

* docs(#3469): refresh the seam glossary entry and add the changeset

Two spec-review gaps, both real.

CONTEXT.md's STATE.md Transition Module entry named three direct writeStateMd
callers including cmdMilestoneComplete. This phase routed that one through the
composition, so the line was false the moment the refactor landed.

Worth recording plainly: I wrote that sentence in Phase 0, correcting an
older stale pointer in it, and my own Phase 2 change invalidated it again
within the same epic. That is the exact drift this epic exists to remove,
demonstrated on the epic's own documentation — and it is why the entry now
ends by saying the whole-repo drift guard, not this line, is the authoritative
count.

The entry now records the composition (syncAndPreserveStateMd) and states that
exactly two direct callers remain, both SANCTIONED PERMANENT rather than debt.

Changeset: type Changed, because milestone complete's observable output moves.
Tier-2 per ADR-3180 Decision 3 — a stale body line no longer wins over fresher
frontmatter, and the command gains preservation_warnings. Docs requirement is
met by the ADR amendment already in this diff.

* test(#3469): register property-test temp-dir cleanup at creation time

Standards review, minor but real: the new fast-check property cleaned up its
temp dirs in a loop AFTER fc.assert returned. A genuine property failure
throws, so that line never ran and every dir from the failing run — including
all of fast-check's shrinking iterations — leaked.

The failure path is exactly when a littered machine hurts most, and a failing
property test is the case the test exists for.

Cleanup is now registered with t.after() at dir-creation time, so teardown
happens however the test exits. Not try/finally — CONTRIBUTING.md:356 bans it
inside test bodies, which is why the after-the-assertion shape existed in the
first place.

Swept the rest of the branch's test diff for the same shape; phase.test.cjs
already uses registered teardown and nothing else matched.

* fix(#3469): patchCore routes frontmatter writes instead of dropping them

Checkpoint returned 10 failures of 33880. One implementation defect, three
test defects, one stale test — all fixed, and the implementation defect is the
one that matters.

patchCore stripped frontmatter and then reconstructed it VERBATIM, applying no
patches to it. An arbitrary custom frontmatter key with no body counterpart and
no FIELD_CLASSIFICATION row — risk_level in the upstream fix(#3351) test —
therefore always reported failed and silently never wrote. It worked before,
via the old whole-document match on the raw YAML line.

That is a regression against this phase's own design row 9, which requires
frontmatter changes to ROUTE THROUGH the seam — still work, policy-governed —
not to stop working. Removing a capability is not routing it. An upstream test
caught it, which is the argument for running the checkpoint before believing
the refactor.

patchCore now partitions by frontmatter shape, decided structurally from the
parsed frontmatter's own keys rather than a naming heuristic:
  - classified keys still report failed — policy owns them and a raw patch may
    not bypass it;
  - unclassified keys apply to the frontmatter object and report updated —
    Phase 1's behavior-table row 19, a field with no row is not this contract's
    business;
  - body-shaped keys are unchanged.

The property 'failure' was my own test breaking the repo's Clock Seams rule.
The two paths agree byte-for-byte; the only difference was last_updated,
stamped from the wall clock on two invocations milliseconds apart, so it could
never pass. Time is now frozen with mock.timers across both — not by excluding
last_updated from the comparison, which would have silently stopped comparing
a field the composition writes.

B4's fixture could not discriminate: normalizeStateStatus maps any text
containing 'complete' to 'completed', and milestone complete's own new body
value derives to exactly that — which was also the fixture's stale value. The
stale value is now 'executing' so the assertion can tell 'body correctly won'
from 'stale survived'.

B5's fixture tripped a pre-existing unstarted-phase guard before reaching any
write-seam code; it now has the matching phase directory.

D9 asserted the old exempt set. readModifyWriteStateMd now calls one symbol
rather than assembling two, so it needs no exemption; syncAndPreserveStateMd
is the sole legitimate composition site.

* fix(#3469): patchCore resolves body-first, so the body wins a name collision

Re-verification returned 2 failures of 33880, both D4 — the hostile row for a
key that exists as BOTH a frontmatter key and a body field.

The partition checked frontmatter first, so 'status' — classified in
FIELD_CLASSIFICATION and also present as a body 'Status:' line — routed to the
frontmatter branch, was rejected as classified, and reported failed.

Wrong order. Patching 'status' means the body field, and upstream fix(#3351)
says so in its own comment: 'the legitimate working case for state.patch is
display-cased BODY fields — Status, Current Plan, Phase.' The body is
authoritative in this model; frontmatter is the projection. D4 asserted
exactly that and was right.

Resolution order is now body, then frontmatter:
  1. resolves to a body field -> apply to body, updated
  2. else an own key of the frontmatter:
       classified   -> failed  (policy owns it)
       unclassified -> apply to frontmatter, updated
  3. else -> failed

Verified by probe against the compiled lib for all four cases rather than
asserted: risk_level (frontmatter-only, unclassified) still lands;
current_phase still fails; display-cased Status unchanged; D4's lower-cased
status now lands via the body with the frontmatter untouched.

The current_phase case was the one that could have regressed silently, so its
fixture was read rather than assumed — D1's body carries 'Phase: 3 (alpha)'
and no 'Current Phase:' line, so body-first cannot reach it.

895d9df96d fix(#3477): run untrusted key_links patterns on a linear-time engine (#3496)
`cmdVerifyKeyLinks` compiled `must_haves.key_links[].pattern` from plan frontmatter with `new RegExp()` and tested it against whole file contents, so a nested-quantifier pattern such as `(a+)+$` hung `verify-phase` indefinitely (CWE-1333). JavaScript has no regex-execution timeout.

Untrusted patterns now run on RE2 (re2js), whose match time is linear in input length — the class is closed by the engine, not by a heuristic screen. The screen lost in the ADR-0174 consolidation was deliberately NOT restored: it never worked, since `(a|a)*$`, `((a+))+$`, `(a+){2,}$` and `(a{1,3})+$` all evade it. A refused pattern's matcher returns false for every input, so it cannot report a match no matter what the caller does.

The engine is vendored at gsd-core/bin/lib/vendor/re2js.cjs because gsd-core/bin/** is copied into installed trees with no node_modules; runtime dependencies are unchanged. New ESLint rule local/no-external-require-in-bin enforces that invariant, which had been documented in a comment since the #3024/#2071 bug class and enforced nowhere.

Backreferences and look-around are unsupported by RE2 by construction — disclosed in a Changed changeset.

1218d76d62 refactor(#3468): dispatch state preservation on the declared policy, not the field (#3495)
* test(#3468): add write-path drift guard, ratcheted at its measured baseline

Guard-first, per ADR-3180 Amendment 3's standing rule that a phase builds
and runs its guard BEFORE its scope is fixed, and states its copy count as
'N found by the guard', never 'N per the epic'.

Measured, not assumed:

  Axis 1 (policy dispatch, ADR-3408 section 8.1) — 7 violations, RED by
  design. 5 field-name-keyed getFieldClassification('literal') branches
  plus 2 declared FieldPreservation members with no executor at all
  (derive, clear). This is the fail-first evidence for the refactor.

  Axis 2 (write seam, section 8.3) — 4 bypasses, ratcheted. Epic #3408
  scoped this at two writers; the whole-repo scan found four, and one the
  epic named (patchCore) is not among them because it bypasses via
  stateReplaceField rather than the seam calls. Fourth consecutive time an
  epic's copy count proved a lower bound.

Two detectors were written and removed again before this commit, both
recorded in the file header rather than silently dropped:

  - A prompt-layer detector that reported 5 backticked prose mentions as
    drift. That is ADR-3180 Amendment 3's recorded false-positive class,
    and CONTRIBUTING.md already settles it: a backticked command reference
    is a mention. Now gated on inline-code spans.

  - A stateReplaceField co-occurrence detector for section 8.3(b). Measured
    at 29 false positives to 1 true positive — it matched the function's own
    definition and ~20 calls on frontmatter-free body slices. Banking 29
    non-defects to catch one is the 'ratchet as a parking lot' gaming route
    Decision 5 names, so it is a DECLARED KNOWN GAP owned by Phase 2
    (#3469), which both fixes it and makes its detection tractable.

* test(#3468): failing-first coverage for policy dispatch and the loud failure

Matrix sections A, B and C from 50-test-matrix.md.

Expected RED against this tree, confirmed by static trace rather than
assumed:

  B1, B2, B3 — an unwired declared preserve-when-unchanged row must throw
  with code STATE_PRESERVATION_UNWIRED_ROW and a structured .field. Today
  src/state-transition.cts:314 silently continues.

  A4 — a whitespace-only snapshot is restored today, because the guard is
  .length > 0. Required behavior is skip.

Everything else is characterization, locking in behavior the refactor must
preserve. C1 is table-driven over every FIELD_CLASSIFICATION key; C2 pins
current_phase_name's exact outputs as literals, because its row is being
reclassified preserve-always to preserve-when-unchanged as a
behavior-preserving change and nothing else would catch a drift. C3 is a
seeded fast-check property (seed 3468, 200 runs, replay data on failure).

A22 is deliberately NOT a behavioral test. Whether 'derive' has an explicit
executor is not observable through applyStatePreservation's public API — it
is a structural property, and the drift guard's unimplemented_policy axis is
what enforces it. That split is ADR-3408 Decision 5's own pairing: the lint
is the structural metric, the test is the outcome metric, and neither is
reported alone.

* refactor(#3468): dispatch preservation on the declared policy, not the field

Implements ADR-3408 sections 8.1, 8.2 and 8.6.

applyStatePreservation is now one loop over FIELD_CLASSIFICATION dispatching
on the row's preservation value, with four small executors — one per
FieldPreservation member. No branch is selected by field name. Zero
literal-argument getFieldClassification calls remain.

Behavior-preserving for 16 of 20 input classes. The four that change:

  - An unwired declared preserve-when-unchanged row now THROWS
    (code STATE_PRESERVATION_UNWIRED_ROW, structured .field) instead of
    silently continuing. This fires only on an internal invariant violation
    with both ends in our own source; a drifted, malformed or unparseable
    user STATE.md must never reach it, which is section 8.2's bright line
    and what test B8 proves through the real CLI.
  - derive gained an explicit no-op executor. That is what makes the throw
    decidable: 'policy says do nothing' is now distinguishable from 'nobody
    wired this'.
  - current_phase_name's row is corrected from preserve-always to
    preserve-when-unchanged. The row was wrong, not the code — it has always
    been delta-gated on the body Phase line, so preserve-always had two
    divergent implementations. Behavior is unchanged and test C2 pins it.
  - A whitespace-only snapshot is no longer restored; the check is trimmed.

clear is deleted from the FieldPreservation union — no row used it and no
executor existed. Speculative Generality: a policy invented for a need that
never arrived. Verified zero dependents.

The caller folds six dedicated pre/post parameters into one bodyDeltas map
keyed by field, so all seven preserve-when-unchanged rows travel one channel
instead of two. Two shapes for one kind of data is why the executor needed
per-field branches at all.

Also fixed, found while reviewing the refactor rather than deferred:

  - applyPreserveIfPlaceholder opened with a field-name literal test, which
    section 8.1 forbids outright. The executor is idempotent, so the test
    bought nothing. The drift guard could not see it, so Axis 1 is widened
    to catch field-variable comparisons against literals — the guard
    reported zero while a violation sat in the file it polices, which is
    Goodhart's gaming-by-indirection.
  - loadBaseline conflated an unreadable baseline with an absent one. A
    guard whose own diagnostic collapses two states into one identical
    result reproduces the exact failure shape this epic exists to remove.

* docs(#3468): record Phase 1 validation as ADR-3408 Amendment 1

Amendment 1 records what Phase 1 found, per ADR-3408 section 8's rule that a
behavior it does not state is not decided:

- preserve-always had TWO divergent implementations; current_phase_name's
  row was wrong and is reclassified, behavior unchanged.
- section 8.6 resolved: clear is deleted, zero dependents.
- the closed guard vocabulary is real and has exactly one true member,
  because stopped_at's scoping turned out to be caller-side extraction.
- copy count found by the guard: 4 write-seam bypasses where the epic
  scoped 2, and patchCore — one of the two it named — is not among them.
- two detectors built and removed again, with their measured false-positive
  rates, so nobody re-attempts them.
- a DECLARED KNOWN GAP for section 8.3(b), owned by Phase 2.
- Decision 5's anti-gaming list earned itself twice in one phase.

Also adds the changeset fragment.

* test(#3468): fix review findings — try/finally, stale clear allowlist, ratchet owners

Standards axis, both hard violations:

  - tests/state-write-path-drift-guard.test.cjs wrapped stdout/argv/exitCode
    restoration in try/finally inside the test body. CONTRIBUTING.md:356
    forbids it outright, and the correct t.after() pattern was already in
    use two lines up in the same test.

  - tests/state-transition.test.cjs still listed 'clear' as an allowed
    FieldPreservation value in the row-enumeration test AND the
    getFieldClassification property test, after this PR deleted it. A stale
    allowlist weakens the property's negative space — it would accept a
    resurrected clear row as valid.

Contract tension, resolved rather than left:

  ADR-3408 section 8.3 requires each ratchet entry carry the issue owning
  its removal. All four shipped with owner: null. The guard was right not to
  INVENT one, but the owners are known from the phase plan, so recording
  them is not inventing: phase.cts -> #3469, state.cts and milestone.cts ->
  #3471, health-diagnostic.cts -> sanctioned-permanent.

  Rather than a JSDoc caveat, --baseline now MERGES prior owner values on
  the (file, source) key, so a mechanical regeneration can no longer
  silently discard curated provenance. Verified by regenerating twice.

* fix(#3468): sanitize attacker-controlled fields on every guard output path

Isolated security review, MEDIUM, confidence 8/10.

findSeamBypasses and findPromptSeamUses built findings with an UNSANITIZED
`file`, while the co-located `source` on the same object was correctly
wrapped in sanitizeForReport. On a fork PR a filename is exactly as
attacker-controlled as a source fragment — a repo can legally track a
filename carrying C1 control bytes or bidi overrides.

The raw value reached two paths: --json stdout, and the COMMITTED baseline
JSON via buildBaselineEntries. JSON.stringify neutralizes C0 controls but
does NOT escape C1 (0x7f-0x9f) nor the bidi/zero-width range
sanitizeForReport exists to strip — which is the precise threat the guard's
own header names. Only the human formatter was safe.

Sanitization now happens at CONSTRUCTION, so every consumer inherits it
rather than each output path having to remember. The same defect was present
on `field` and `policy` and is fixed alongside. Double-sanitization in the
formatter is left in place, verified idempotent: escaped output is ASCII and
cannot re-match the control/bidi classes.

Also: the guard was not referenced anywhere in package.json, so nothing ran
it. A drift guard nobody runs is not a guard, and ADR-3408 Decision 5 assumes
it runs. Wired into lint:ci beside its sibling drift guards; it was already
green on this tree, so the chain stays green.

* chore(#3468): re-curate ratchet after an upstream rewording of a tracked bypass

The rebase onto origin/next turned the guard red on its first real day, which
is the ratchet working rather than a defect.

c90ae479f fix(#3350) reworded cmdPhaseComplete's syncStateFrontmatter call
onto one line and changed its third argument. Because entries are keyed on
(file, trimmed source text) rather than a line number, that single upstream
edit registered as BOTH a stale acknowledgment and an unrecorded site — the
two-sided signal the design intends, forcing a human to look rather than
letting a tracked bypass drift out of view.

The owner-preserving merge behaved exactly as designed: three owners survived
because their keys were unchanged, and phase.cts's dropped to null because its
source text is genuinely a different key. Re-curated to #3469, the phase that
owns its removal.

Note for Phase 2: c90ae479f is #3350's fix landing independently on next —
one of the two instances Phase 2 was scoped to drive fail-first. Surfaced to
the epic rather than absorbed silently.

* test(#3468): derive B1's fixture from the table so it cannot go stale

Checkpoint 2 came back with 2 failures of 33803, both B1:

  actual   'current_phase_name'
  expected 'current_plan'

The implementation was right and the test was stale. B1 hand-built a
bodyDeltas literal intending current_plan to be the ONLY unwired row, but it
also omitted status, stopped_at and current_phase_name — all three of which
became preserve-when-unchanged rows in THIS PR. Table order puts
current_phase_name first, so the throw correctly named it.

B1 now builds from neutralBodyDeltas() and deletes exactly one key, which is
what its own comment always claimed it did. A future table change can no
longer silently make it assert the wrong field.

Audited every other bodyDeltas literal in the file: four exist, all correct —
two enumerate all seven rows explicitly, two pass {} where the emptiness is
the point of the test. Roughly thirty other sites already derive from the
helper.

Also renames the local unchchangedChanged to lastActivityDescChangedDeltas.
A typo'd identifier that happens to work is still a Mysterious Name; noted
during research and fixed now that this change touches the file.

* chore(#3468): re-curate ratchet and fold the seam channel into the shared helper

The rebase onto be9329b10 fix(#3374) was a true semantic conflict, resolved
rather than handed back, because the resolution was determinable:

That PR extracted the post-sync preservation pass into a shared
applyPostSyncPreservation helper — which is ADR-3408 section 8.3, i.e. a
piece of Phase 2's own deliverable, landing upstream. Its structure is kept
wholesale; this branch's contribution is applied INSIDE it.

That combination had to be checked rather than assumed. Upstream's helper
wires only FOUR bodyDeltas keys and still passes status / stopped_at /
current_phase_name through six dedicated parameters. This branch reclassifies
current_phase_name to preserve-when-unchanged, deletes those six parameters
from StatePreservationInput, and makes an unwired declared row THROW. Taking
upstream's file as-is would therefore have thrown on EVERY STATE.md write.

The helper now wires all seven rows through the single channel. Verified
7-to-7 against FIELD_CLASSIFICATION, with a clean tsc — which is the real
proof the dedicated parameters are gone, since they no longer exist on the
input type.

The ratchet also caught the same phase.cts call being reworded a second time,
reporting it as both a stale acknowledgment and an unrecorded site. Re-curated
to #3469. Recording the tradeoff plainly: keying on (file, source text) means
an upstream reword of a tracked line needs re-curation, where keying on line
numbers would churn on every unrelated edit. ADR-3180 Decision 4(e) chose
source text deliberately, and the owner-preserving merge added earlier covers
the common case where the text is unchanged.

* docs(#3467): adr-3408 state.md write-path behavior contract

* docs(#3467): correct write-seam caller list and adr heading depth

Review findings from the Standards and Spec axes, fixed in place:

- ADR behavior contract demoted from H2 to `### 8` with `#### 8.x`
  subsections, matching ADR-3180's `### 7` / `#### 7.1` precedent the
  front matter claims to follow.
- CONTEXT.md placed the STATE.md factory-reset primitive at
  verify.cts:1925. It moved to health-diagnostic.cts:337 when
  cmdValidateHealth migrated onto the rule table (#3309); verify.cts
  now has no writeStateMd call. The design intent was correct — only
  the address was stale.
- A repo-wide scan found three direct writeStateMd callers, not two:
  cmdStateSync, cmdMilestoneComplete, and the REGENERATE_STATE remedy.
  The last is documented as a sanctioned permanent exception — it is
  a factory reset, so preservation would restore the values it was
  invoked to discard.
- phase.cts comment citation corrected to :2953-2957.
- Amendment 4 attribution corrected: the recorded owner-file exemption
  failure is roadmap-parser.cts; the state.cts transfer is this ADR's
  own extrapolation.

6b34557ba3 fix(#3311): milestone lock makes parallel-phase state conflicts visible (#3455)
* fix(#3311): milestone lock makes parallel-phase state conflicts visible

Two sessions running different phases in one working tree silently
clobbered STATE.md's single un-scoped ## Current Position slot: byte-level
serialization already existed (STATE.md.lock since #464), but nothing ever
surfaced that two sessions claimed two different phases, and
state.advance-plan — which takes no phase argument — kept advancing whatever
plan the just-clobbered position named.

Adds the maintainer-chosen milestone lock (issue #3311 comment): an advisory
.planning/milestone.lock claim keyed by phase + session id (session identity
via getWorkstreamSessionKey: env-first, then controlling TTY). begin-phase
claims (inside the STATE.md lock), advance-plan detects a claim/position
mismatch and heartbeats a matching claim, phase.complete warns via warnings[]
and releases the claim when the claimed phase completes. Conflicts warn
(stderr + typed milestone_conflict JSON field) instead of blocking, per the
decision's blocking/warning latitude; TTL 4h with heartbeat liveness expires
abandoned claims. milestone.lock is registered in the canonical artifact
registry so validate.health W019 recognizes it.

7976b1ca0d feat(#1689): per-plan agent_hint executor routing (#3417)
* feat(#1689): per-plan agent_hint executor routing

Option A per-plan specialist routing: a plan with an `agent_hint:` frontmatter field is dispatched to that subagent instead of gsd-executor when it resolves on the active runtime; absent/unresolved/disabled falls back to gsd-executor (byte-identical). Default-on via workflow.agent_hint_routing.

- src/phase.cts: parse agent_hint into the plan-index JSON (plan_json.agent_hint)
- agent-install-check.cts: resolveAgentHint() reuses getAgentsDir + runtime filename variants; probes project + global agent dirs; fails closed; rejects path-traversing names
- gsd-tools.cjs: 'resolve-agent' query route (fail-closed to gsd-executor; --raw/--json)
- execute-phase.md: lean per-plan reference + {EXECUTOR_TYPE} placeholder (host stays under the ADR-857 Phase 6 byte ceiling)
- execute-phase/steps/per-plan-executor-routing.md: resolution logic (Agent()-based dispatch; advisory on orchestrator-worktree)
- config: workflow.agent_hint_routing (validKey, default-on via SCHEMA_DEFAULTS, boolean validator)
- docs (CONFIGURATION.md, plan-md.md), changeset, tests/agent-hint-routing-1689.test.cjs (17 tests)

agent-frontmatter's spawn-type checks scanned subagent_type="..." as a

(a runtime placeholder resolved via resolve-agent, default gsd-executor).
Skip {TOKEN} placeholders in both the known-type and <available_agent_types>
checks; execute-phase still lists the built-in roster incl. gsd-executor.

* fix(#1689): CI conformance for the routing fragment

- per-plan-executor-routing.md: add the canonical runtime-launcher preamble to
  its gsd_run block (runtime-launcher-parity #373), matching sibling step fragments.

470389f3a2 chore(#3212): tokenizer-first for stateful grammars — a shared scanner — Phase 3 (#3424)
* feat(#3414): promote git-cmd.js token-walk into a shared scanner, fix #3169

Phase 3 of epic #3212 (ADR-3212 §4). New src/token-scanner.cts generalizes
hooks/lib/git-cmd.js's proven token-walk (#3129 — "has not re-opened"):
tokenizeShellLike (quote-aware shell tokenizer, byte-identical port) and
indentWidth (bullet-nesting depth).

git-cmd.js migrates onto tokenizeShellLike with zero behavior change
(parity-asserted against every existing #3129 fixture in
tests/worktree-safety.test.cjs's folded block); isGitSubcommand's phases
1-3 (env-prefix skip, executable check, global-option consume) extracted
into skipToSubcommand, shared with the new extractBranchArgument (git
checkout -b / git branch <name>) — a new capability exercising the seam
on the domain the ADR names, not a migration of existing duplicated logic
(none existed).

Fixes #3169: src/decisions.cts's parseDecisionLines couldn't distinguish
a cross-reference bullet nested under an open decision from a fresh
malformed declaration attempt. An earlier bold-run-content-classification
design was tried and disproven against the repo's own existing FIX-B
fixtures (D-02, "no colon no dash") before being adopted — both have
identical shape under any content-only rule. Nesting depth (via
indentWidth) is the actual distinguishing signal: a bullet indented
deeper than the currently-open decision's own bullet is elaboration,
folded into its text like a continuation line, never tested against the
parse-miss guard. A bullet at the same-or-shallower indent is unchanged.

Scope-narrowing disclosed, not silent: of the ADR's four named bugs
(#3197, #3169, #2570, #2528), three no longer need this phase's work.
were independently fixed and closed since the ADR was authored — #2570's
fix is already a correctly-bounded regex per the ADR's own decidability
test (no scanner needed); #2528's fix is a deliberate, twice-reviewed
non-scanner design (its own code comment records a scanner-based attempt
that regressed a symmetric case and was reverted) that this phase does
not disturb. Only #3169 required new work.

* fix(#3414): add required fast-check property tests per code review

TESTING-STANDARDS.md:169 requires at least one fast-check property test
for any module that implements parsing — src/token-scanner.cts had none,
an orthogonal Standards-axis review finding. Adds two seeded property
tests (mirroring Phase 1/2's fast-check-setup.cjs convention):
indentWidth counts exactly a generated leading-space run; tokenizeShellLike
round-trips a generated array of whitespace/quote-free words joined with
single spaces.

The design doc's own "no property test needed" rationale was wrong — it
argued no algebraic law applied, but the standard is unconditional for
parsing modules regardless of whether one "feels" applicable. Corrected
in .gsd/phase/chore-3414-tokenizer-first-seam/50-test-matrix.md.

Also fixes two Spec-axis wording drifts the same review found between
the design doc and the shipped code (doc-only, no behavior change):
extractBranchArgument's documented signature dropped an unused
subVariants parameter that was never implemented, and the #3169
fail-first fixture description corrected from "15-decision plan via
cmdDecisionCoverageVerify" to the actual compact 3-decision analog via
the real blocking gate, check.decision-coverage-plan.

0624c5da6f chore(#3212): src/text-lines.cts is the sole owner of line-terminator handling — Phase 2 (#3420)
* test(#3413): failing-first suite for the line-terminator seam

Phase 2 of epic #3212 (ADR-3212 §3/§6/§7). Tests only — src/text-lines.cts
does not exist yet, so tests/text-lines.test.cjs fails with MODULE_NOT_FOUND
at its require line, which is the intended RED.

The frontmatter.test.cjs additions drive #3360 (confirmed-bug) fail-first:
parseMustHavesBlock currently returns [] for every must_haves block on a
CRLF-authored plan file, because \r is its own LineTerminator in ECMAScript
and two /m-anchored \s* patterns can absorb it, inflating a captured indent
by one character and tripping the "not nested under must_haves" guard.
Verified locally against the current (unfixed) compiled module: both the
direct repro and the silent-exit "blank line before must_haves:" variant
return [] today. A parity property test (crlf vs lf must deep-equal for
every block name) matches a pattern this maintainer has required repeatedly
for prior CRLF fixes in this codebase (Cortex-recorded, verify_intent=held).

The no-crlf-fragile-split.rule.test.cjs additions lock the eslint rule's
future fix-hint text (pointing at splitLines()) and its self-reference
non-violation (the seam's own correct \r?\n split must never flag itself).

Design: .gsd/phase/chore-3413-text-lines-seam/40-design.md
Test matrix: .gsd/phase/chore-3413-text-lines-seam/50-test-matrix.md

* chore(#3413): src/text-lines.cts owns line-terminator handling

Phase 2 of epic #3212 (ADR-3212 §3/§6/§7). Adds splitLines/normalizeEol/
detectEol/joinLines and migrates frontmatter.cts onto it.

parseMustHavesBlock (#3360, confirmed-bug) returned [] for every
must_haves block on a CRLF plan file. Root cause: \r is its own
LineTerminator in ECMAScript, so under /m two \s*-anchored indentation
lookups could match at the position INSIDE a \r\n pair and absorb the
terminator, inflating the captured indent by one character and tripping
the "not nested under must_haves" guard. Two silent exits, one with a
diagnostic and one without (a blank line before must_haves: hits the
silent path). Fixed by converting both lookups from a whole-string /m
match to split-then-scan — splitLines first, then a per-line, non-/m
match — the same structural pattern parseYamlRegion (30 lines away in
the same file) already used safely. Nothing downstream of the two
lookups changed; blockLines is now sliced from the already-split array
instead of re-splitting a substring, but its contents are unchanged for
LF input, and the per-line dash/kv parsing loop is untouched.

A parity property test (CRLF and LF plans parse to identical must_haves
for every block name) matches a pattern this maintainer has required
repeatedly for prior CRLF fixes in this file's neighborhood (Cortex:
7 recorded decisions, verify_intent -> held).

frontmatter.cts's other .split(/\r?\n/) call sites (parseYamlRegion,
isFrontmatterShaped, sliceTopLevelFrontmatterSegments, spliceFrontmatter)
are rerouted onto splitLines — a literal 1:1 substitution, zero behavior
change, since splitLines IS that same regex plus a type guard.

The 4 scripts/normalizeLineEndings copies (gen-registry, gen-loop-host-
contract, gen-capability-registry, gen-context-index) are deleted and
rerouted onto normalizeEol, which strips a bare unpaired \r exactly like
the deleted copies did (not just \r\n pairs) -- verified against each
script's own --check mode against its real generated output.

local/no-crlf-fragile-split widens from tests/ to src/**/*.cts, with its
fix-hint message now naming splitLines() instead of the raw regex --
the prohibition finally has a primitive to point at. Detection logic
unchanged in this phase (deliberate scope limit, see design doc Known
limits: the rule doesn't yet recognize safeReadFile/platformReadSync as
a content source, and has no detector for the \s-adjacent-to-anchor
shape that is #3360's actual mechanism -- the CLASS is converged by the
direct fix + regression test regardless).

joinLines/detectEol are NOT wired into frontmatter.cts's own write path
(cmdFrontmatterSet/Merge -> platformWriteSync) -- verified that
platformWriteSync already, unconditionally converts CRLF->LF on every
.md write today as a pre-existing policy owned by a different module,
and ADR-3212's backward-compatibility clause rules out a file-format
change in any phase. Stated explicitly in Known limits rather than left
for a reader to discover.

* fix(#3413): fix 13 pre-existing CRLF-fragile splits the widened rule found

Widening local/no-crlf-fragile-split from tests/ to src/**/*.cts (the
previous commit) immediately surfaced 13 real, pre-existing violations
across 10 files -- undetected until now because the rule never scanned
src/. This is the exact defect class ADR-3212 exists to close, playing
out again one phase after Phase 1 hit the same shape ("the new lint
rule -- once live -- found 27 more"). Per CLAUDE.md's no-defer rule,
fixed inline rather than deferred or suppressed; there is no
established suppression convention for this rule in src/ and inventing
one now would undermine the point of widening it.

audit.cts, broken-windows.cts, core-utils.cts, init.cts, milestone.cts,
phase.cts (x3), profile-output.cts, roadmap.cts (x2): bare-\n splits or
regex character classes widened to \r?\n / [^\r\n], each following the
same pattern already established migrating frontmatter.cts.

phase-estimation.cts: `\r?(?:\n|$)` restructured to `(?:\r?\n|\r?$)` --
already semantically CRLF-safe, but the rule's lexical scanner doesn't
recognize \r? guarding a group (only \r? immediately before a literal
\n). Verified the two forms are equivalent across all four EOL/EOF
cases before restructuring, not assumed.

roadmap-upgrade.cts needed two coupled sites, not the one flagged line:
computeMigrationPlan and applyMigration must agree on line
representation for the lines[edit.lineIndex] === edit.from equality
check to hold, and the write-back needed joinLines + detectEol -- a
plain lines.join('\n') was silently flattening a CRLF ROADMAP.md to LF
wholesale on every migration. This is the first real production
consumer of joinLines/detectEol in this epic (frontmatter.cts's own
write path doesn't use them -- see the previous commit's Known limits).

Fixing the 13 flagged sites surfaced 4 more adjacent same-shape sites
the rule doesn't track (.search() and new RegExp(dynamicString) aren't
in its tracked call/construction set). Investigated each empirically --
hand-tracing this exact bug class already produced one wrong conclusion
earlier in this phase (a detectEol design-doc arithmetic error), so
these were verified with real CRLF fixtures rather than reasoned about
on paper:

  - audit.cts (scanTodos): REAL bug, fixed. `bodyMatch.trim().split
    ('\n')[0]` leaked a trailing \r into a user-visible todo summary on
    CRLF input -- .trim() only strips the string's outer edges, not a
    \r sitting mid-string before the first bare \n. Now splitLines(...)
    [0].
  - phase.cts (cmdPhaseInsert, bullet-style branch): REAL bug, fixed.
    [^\n]* in targetBulletPattern swallowed a line's trailing \r on
    CRLF input, shifting the computed insert position to land INSIDE
    the \r\n pair; combined with a hardcoded '\n' bullet separator, a
    CRLF ROADMAP.md ended up with a mixed CRLF/LF result after an
    insert. Fixed with two coupled changes (either alone still
    corrupts, verified both ways): [^\r\n]* in the pattern, and the new
    bullet's leading terminator now comes from detectEol(rawContent).
  - roadmap.cts (cmdRoadmapAnnotateDependencies phase-boundary scan):
    investigated, genuinely safe, left untouched. The .search(/\n#{2,4}
    .../) boundary-finder and the [^\n]*-based heading match were
    empirically verified on a 3-phase CRLF fixture -- the only stray \r
    ends up at the tail of an intermediate phaseSection string that is
    only ever used for .test()-based idempotency checks, never for an
    exact-match comparison or written back to disk. No corruption on
    round-trip.

Every fix re-verified: npm run build:lib clean, npx eslint
'src/**/*.cts' --no-cache reports 0 problems (was 13), and each
fixed function's existing LF-input tests were spot-checked unchanged.

* fix(#3413): apply orthogonal review findings

Two isolated review engines (correctness + security) ran against the
full diff and found three majors, one real security issue, and several
disclosure-worthy minors. All fixed or explicitly disclosed with
evidence; nothing deferred.

MAJOR — detectEol's tie-break contradicted its own documented contract.
Code returned '\n' on a 1:1 crlf/bare-LF tie; every doc (design doc,
CONTEXT.md, the function's own comment) says ties resolve to '\r\n'.
The existing test masked this by reusing the same tie fixture the
buggy code happened to satisfy, rather than a genuine LF-majority
case. Root cause: an Edit attempted earlier in this phase to fix this
exact arithmetic error was blocked by the tier guard, and a later
dispatch was incorrectly told it had already landed. Fixed: condition
is now crlfCount >= bareLfCount; the test fixture corrected to a
genuine 2:1 majority, with a new explicit tie-case test.

MAJOR — phase.cts's cmdPhaseInsert built an EOL-aware bulletEntry via
detectEol(rawContent), justified by a comment claiming a hardcoded
'\n' corrupts a CRLF ROADMAP.md. False: this write goes through
platformWriteSync, whose normalizeContent/_normalizeMd unconditionally
converts CRLF->LF for any .md target — the templating was inert dead
code, erased before the file is ever written. Reverted to hardcoded
'\n', comment corrected to state the true reasoning. The separate
[^\n]* -> [^\r\n]* widening one function up (a real splice-position
fix, independent of final EOL) was kept.

MAJOR — roadmap-upgrade.cts's stated rationale for switching onto
splitLines/joinLines was wrong (both functions always agreed on line
representation, before and after — the claimed equality-check risk
never existed), and the change it justified introduced a real
regression: forcing every line onto one dominant terminator silently
rewrites untouched lines' EOL on a mixed-CRLF/LF ROADMAP.md. This
write path uses raw fs.writeFileSync, not platformWriteSync, so unlike
the phase.cts case above the regression is genuinely live.

Fixing this took two attempts. The first attempt (revert to
split('\n')/join('\n') plus a suppression comment) was correctly
blocked by an agent that discovered local/no-crlf-fragile-split is a
PROTECTED_RULES entry in tests/portability-rule-disable-ban.test.cjs —
a hard, out-of-band, ADR-1703-governed guardrail banning any
eslint-disable of this rule anywhere in src/**/*.cts. That agent also
detected and correctly disregarded an injected instruction that
appeared in tool output during a git operation, per this session's
untrusted-content policy. The actual fix: computeMigrationPlan
reverted to roadmapContent.split('\n') (confirmed lint-clean — the
rule's data-flow tracking only follows a variable's initializer, and
this one is declared empty then reassigned in a try block).
applyMigration's write-back now splices edits against the ORIGINAL
content string via indexOf('\n', pos) boundary-walking instead of a
full split/rejoin, so every untouched character — including every
line's own terminator — is copied byte-for-byte. A capture-group split
(/(\r\n|\n)/, preserving terminators inline) was tried first and
empirically confirmed to still trip the rule before this approach was
chosen instead.

MINOR (security) — roadmap.cts's cmdRoadmapAnnotateDependencies used
the STRING form of String#replace, so $&, $`, $', $1-$9 inside
must_haves.truths content (author-controlled) were interpreted as
replacement directives, splicing unrelated ROADMAP.md text into the
result. Fixed with the function-replacement form, which is never
pattern-interpreted. Verified before/after with the reviewer's exact
repro.

Also disclosed rather than silently left: test matrix row 31 (four
planned CRLF-materialized regression tests) was never implemented as
separate files — corrected to record the actual verification (a
manual --check run plus incidental existing coverage via each script's
normalizeLineEndings: normalizeEol alias). parseMustHavesBlock's LF
behavior was claimed byte-for-byte unchanged but the old
yaml.indexOf(blockMatch[0]) substring search could match an unrelated
earlier occurrence of the header text (e.g. inside a quoted value) —
the split-then-scan fix incidentally also closes this, a strict
improvement now recorded in the design doc rather than left implicit.

* fix(#3413): checkpoint 2 red — missing eslint ignore entry, RuleTester config error

Checkpoint 2 came back red with 5 failures on the reviewed sha, both
gaps genuinely undetectable by any local gate.

eslint.config.mjs was missing the 'gsd-core/bin/lib/text-lines.cjs'
ignores-list entry (ADR-457: generated .cjs artifacts are excluded from
direct type-aware linting). Phase 1's sibling entry (pattern.cjs) sits
two lines above it and was the exact precedent read while researching
the six-gate ripple for this module -- missed anyway. Caught by
tests/repo-invariants.test.cjs's bin/lib coverage-tracking test, which
only runs on the remote suite.

tests/no-crlf-fragile-split.rule.test.cjs's row-32 case specified both
`messageId` and `message` on the same RuleTester error assertion --
ESLint's RuleTester rejects that combination outright. This existed
since the test was first authored and was never caught locally: `npx
eslint` only lints the file's syntax, it does not execute RuleTester,
and local `node --test` is hard-blocked in this repo -- the assertion
had never actually RUN before this checkpoint. It was even present in
checkpoint 1's failure list, listed there as one of the "expected RED"
tests; I matched it against my expected-failures list by test NAME
only and never inspected the actual failure detail closely enough to
notice it was failing for the wrong reason (a RuleTester config error,
not the intended message-text mismatch). Fixed by keeping `message`
(the exact-text assertion the test exists to make) and dropping
`messageId`. Verified the crlfFragileSplit message string in
eslint-rules/no-crlf-fragile-split.cjs matches this assertion
character-for-character, and swept every other invalid case in the
file for the same double-specification bug (none found -- all
pre-existing cases use messageId alone).

430e66dac4 docs(registries): add gsd-reasonix EoS entry (#3403)
Adds one `type: "eos"` entry for a Reasonix host integration and regenerates
docs/registries/eos-registry.md.

Reasonix is a Go, single-static-binary, DeepSeek-native terminal coding agent.
The integration renders the GSD workflow set as native Reasonix slash-command
launchers; GSD workflows are not reimplemented.

Every axis is sourced from Reasonix's own docs per the never-infer rule.
`effortSurface` is omitted: Reasonix resolves effort from config and the
/effort command with no argv route, so neither allowed value fits and the
field is optional.

Supersedes #3346, which proposed an in-tree capabilities/reasonix entry and
was closed as filed against the wrong surface.

dc3c81e93d chore(#3212): src/pattern.cts is the sole owner of runtime-value regex construction — Phase 1 (#3416)
* test(#3412): failing-first suite for the pattern-construction seam

Phase 1 of epic #3212 (ADR-3212 §1/§2/§7). Tests only — src/pattern.cts
and eslint-rules/no-adhoc-regex-escape.cjs do not exist yet, so both
suites fail with MODULE_NOT_FOUND, which is the intended RED.

Locks the measured behavior rather than the assumed behavior:
RegExp.escape hex-escapes the leading character of nearly every string
("abc" -> "\x61bc"), so the suite asserts match-equivalence against an
inlined historical oracle (the implementation being deleted) rather
than byte-equivalence of pattern text — 200 seeded fast-check runs plus
a fixed corpus, 0 mismatches. Also locks the latent character-class
range bug this phase fixes as a side effect: a hyphen-bearing value
interpolated into [...] currently forms a real range and matches an
unintended character; post-migration it must not.

* chore(#3412): src/pattern.cts owns runtime-value regex construction

Phase 1 of epic #3212 (ADR-3212 §1/§2/§6/§7). Adds the pattern seam
delegating to the built-in RegExp.escape, deletes every hand-rolled
copy, and raises the Node floor to the Active LTS line.

The census was low, three times over. ADR-3212 counted 10 copies; a
graph query found 12; the new lint rule — once live — found 27 more.
The difference is that the census counted named helper FUNCTIONS while
the rule counts the escape SHAPE, so inline .replace(<class>, '\$&')
copies were never in scope. ADR §1's actual requirement is that no
module outside the seam escapes a value for regex use, so all of them
are, and CLAUDE.md's no-defer rule makes them this change's work.
Fourth consecutive epic here whose copy count was low — the argument
for ADR-3180 Amendment 3's "state N found by the guard" rule.

Also corrected mid-implementation: the survey reported phase-id.cts's
escapeRegex had 0 external importers. It had 8 production importers,
making its removal a public-surface change to an ADR-2121-owned module
and requiring an update to that ADR's locked-surface test. Blast
radius revised Medium-High -> High.

RegExp.escape is match-equivalent but NOT text-equivalent: it
hex-escapes the leading char of nearly every string ("abc" ->
"\x61bc"). Equivalence is proven by a seeded fast-check property test
against the deleted implementation as oracle. It also fixes a latent
bug: a hyphen-bearing value interpolated into a character class
previously formed a real range and matched an unintended character.

Node floor 22 -> 24 (RegExp.escape is Node 24+), across engines,
.nvmrc, package-lock, 9 CI matrix entries, and 5 docs. The aggregate
`required-tests` context is unchanged and no job was added or removed,
so branch protection cannot be orphaned by the dropped lanes.

Enforced by eslint-rules/no-adhoc-regex-escape.cjs (shape-matched, with
structural provenance for reviewed pattern-fragment constants rather
than a name heuristic) plus a whole-tree companion guard covering the
directories ESLint's globs miss.

* fix(#3412): close the _SOURCE guard evasion, correct two false claims

Three findings from the orthogonal review pass, all fixed.

1. The ESLint rule's `_SOURCE` provenance fallback was pure identifier-
   name matching with no binding check, so `new RegExp(userInput_SOURCE)`
   — a function parameter — sailed past the guard. That is the same
   rename-evasion class issue #3410 documents, reopened by the very
   fallback meant to complement the structural check. Now bound to the
   identifier's actual binding kind: import, require-derived const, or
   module-scope const; parameters, `let`/`var`, and unresolvable
   bindings fail closed. Four RuleTester cases cover the evasion and
   prove the legitimate cross-module case still passes.

2. src/pattern.cts's own header carried the stale pre-correction counts
   (12 copies / 17 call sites) while CONTEXT.md and the design doc
   carried the corrected ones (~39 / ~44) — a self-contradiction inside
   the PR whose entire purpose is deleting divergent copies. Rewritten,
   preserving the durable lesson: a named-function census cannot see
   inline copies; only a shape-matching guard can.

3. The claim that all deleted copies threw TypeError on non-string was
   false. phase-id.cts's copy — the one with 8 external importers — did
   String(value).replace(...) and never threw. The seam's locked
   signature does not coerce, so this is a real, now-disclosed behavior
   change rather than the pure preservation the tests asserted. Audited
   all 32 invocations across the 8 importers and 6 in-file callers:
   every one is safe by construction (upstream truthy guard or a
   string-producing derivation), verified by runtime probe against the
   compiled modules rather than by TS compilation, which cannot see a
   runtime undefined. Corrected the false claim in both the test comment
   and the design doc, and added it to Known limits.

* docs(#3412): add Changed changeset for the Node 24 floor

The only user-visible break in this phase. The escape-behavior change
is internal and match-equivalent, so it carries no user-facing note.

* fix(#3412): resolve the seam's require graph in script fixtures and packaging

Checkpoint 2 came back red with 90 failures on the node24 lane. Three
distinct defects, all introduced by routing scripts/ through the new
pattern seam, none reproducible by any local gate:

1. ~82 failures — tests/adr-index-gate.test.cjs and
   tests/removed-but-needed-lint.test.cjs copy a scripts/*.cjs into an
   mkdtemp fixture and spawn it there (necessary: those scripts resolve
   their scan root from __dirname/.., so running the real script would
   scan the real repo). Each harness hand-listed the dependencies to
   copy alongside. Adding require('../gsd-core/bin/lib/pattern.cjs') to
   gen-adr-index.cjs made both lists silently incomplete ->
   MODULE_NOT_FOUND, plus 17 downstream 'did not emit parseable JSON'
   failures from the same crash.

   Fixed as a class, not an instance: new tests/helpers/copy-script-
   fixture.cjs walks a script's transitive static relative-require graph
   and copies it, so dependencies are derived and never re-declared. It
   throws (naming the unbuilt artifact) instead of letting the child die
   with a bare MODULE_NOT_FOUND. Verified for all four seam-consuming
   scripts: gen-adr-index, lint-removed-but-needed, gen-loop-host-
   contract, sync-runtime-launcher.

2. 2 failures — scripts/ ships wholesale but eslint-rules/ does not, so
   the new scripts/lint-no-adhoc-regex-escape.cjs would be
   MODULE_NOT_FOUND in a published install (#2858 guard). Excluded from
   the tarball, matching the existing precedent for gen-emitted-
   baseline.cjs, which is excluded for the identical reason, and locked
   with a test modeled on that one. Confirmed against a real npm pack:
   890 files, 0 from eslint-rules/, and gsd-core/bin/lib/pattern.cjs
   present (so the other four scripts' requires are legitimate).

3. 6 failures — tests/phase-id.test.cjs asserted the literal escaped
   source text ('0*29', 'PROJ-42'). RegExp.escape is match-equivalent to
   the retired hand-rolled escaper but NOT text-equivalent: it hex-
   escapes the leading character and all hyphens ('0*\x329',
   '\x50ROJ\x2d42'). Verified NOT a behavior change — 576 match
   decisions across all three real interpolation prefixes, zero
   divergence. Those tests now compile each source into the same heading
   regex src/roadmap.cts's searchPhaseInContent builds and assert what
   matches and what does not, including the 'i'-flag canonicalization
   the hex escape has to preserve. Re-pinning the new literals would
   have rebuilt the same brittleness one layer down. Adds a test for the
   property the escape exists for: a dot in '1.2' must not act as a
   wildcard.

Also shares one definition of 'a require' between the packaging guard
and the fixture copier, so the two cannot disagree about what they scan.

* fix(#3412): refuse to copy a fixture dependency outside the fixture root

copyScriptWithDeps resolved each relative require and joined the
repo-relative result onto fixtureRoot. A require resolving OUTSIDE the
repo yields a '../'-prefixed relative path, so path.join climbed out of
the fixture and wrote into the surrounding temp dir (verified:
repoRoot=/repo + depAbs=/etc/passwd wrote /tmp/etc/passwd).

No script in the tree does this today, so this closes an available
escape rather than an active one. Refuses via the existing unresolved-
require path so the failure names the offending specifier. Covered by a
negative proof that the guard fires and that nothing lands outside the
fixture.

* fix(#3412): parse requires instead of pattern-matching them; restore the foreign-prefix contract

Applies all findings from the second orthogonal review round, re-run
because real code changed after round 1.

HIGH (security) — extractRequires stripped BLOCK comments before LINE
comments, so a '//' comment containing '/*' opened a phantom block
comment, and a '//' inside a string literal truncated the line. Both
hid real requires: 'const u="http://x"; require("./real.cjs")'
returned [], and four real requires in gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs were
invisible. Replaced with a real AST parse via espree.

This is ADR-3212's own Decision 4 — tokenizer-first for stateful
grammars — applied to the case it describes; comment/string/regex
nesting is exactly such a grammar, which is why the regex version was
wrong. The function was moved byte-identical out of the #2858 packaging
guard, so the bug PRE-DATES this branch and has been a live blind spot
there: a shipped script could have required an unshipped path
undetected. Fixing it makes that guard strictly stronger than on next.

espree is promoted from a transitive eslint dependency to an explicit
devDependency rather than relying on hoisting. The script parse attempt
sets ecmaFeatures.globalReturn because Node wraps CommonJS bodies in a
function, making a top-level return legal — scripts/check-coverage-gate
.cjs relies on it, and without the flag the guard throws on a file it
is supposed to scan. Verified 0 unparseable across all 324 .cjs/.js
under scripts/, bin/, and gsd-core/bin/, and 0 new violations against a
real npm pack, so the exact extractor does not newly fail the guard.

MEDIUM (security) — the repo-containment check guarded dependencies but
not the entry path. One escapesContainment predicate now guards both.

LOW (security) — containment was lexical while fs follows symlinks, and
a directory symlink could mint a fresh dedupe key per level. realpath
now resolves both repoRoot and each dependency before the decision, and
the realpath-derived path is the dedupe key. Destination layout still
uses the original repo-relative path, so copied trees are unchanged.

MAJOR (standards) — the round-1 behavioral rewrite of phase-id tests
lost the foreign-prefix contract: every assertion was satisfied by an
impl returning [A-Z]+\x2d42, i.e. ANY project code — the exact #3599
bug class the exact-source prevents. The literal assertions it replaced
were catching this. Now asserts the compiled regex REJECTS a different
prefix with the same number.

MAJOR (standards) — the test hand-duplicated production's heading regex
with no parity guard (CLAUDE.md's 'Generative Fix Divergence'). Removed
the parallel surface instead of policing it: src/roadmap.cts exports
buildPhaseHeadingRegex, searchPhaseInContent calls it, the test imports
it. Byte-identical .source and .flags verified for both escaped forms.

MINOR — '..foo' no longer false-flagged as an escape; the inverted
spurious-vs-missing doc claim corrected; the dead allow-test-rule
header removed.

* chore(#3412): backfill changeset pr number to 3416

* fix(#3412): make the escape guard's own regex linear, reword an injection-scan collision

Two CI failures on PR #3416, both in code this branch added.

CodeQL js/redos (high) — REPLACE_CALL_RE's outer alternation let a
bracket run be consumed EITHER by the character-class branch OR one
character at a time by the trailing catch-all, so a failing match
explored both parses of every pair. Measured on the real regex:
n=26 -> 204ms, n=28 -> 791ms, n=30 -> 3475ms, a clean 2^n. This script
scans repo source, so a file with a long bracket run after '.replace(/'
would hang CI outright — a guard against undisciplined pattern
construction was itself the worst pattern in the diff.

Fixed the way ADR-3212 already prescribes: the catch-all branch now
excludes '[' and ']' so a bracket can only be consumed by the class
branch (this is what makes it linear), and every quantifier is bounded
(the locked bounded-quantifiers decision) as a second line of defense.
Now 0ms at n=2000. Disclosed coverage tradeoff, recorded at the
constant: a regex literal with a BARE unescaped ']' outside a class is
no longer matched by this backstop. No census shape has that form, and
the AST rule remains the primary detector.

Verified the guard did not go blind doing it: a real census-shape
violation is still reported, and an allow-adhoc-regex-escape
suppression comment is still honored.

Regression test drives the exported findViolations on a
2000-repetition adversarial input and asserts the RESULT. It makes no
wall-clock assertion — elapsed-time tests are forbidden — so a
regression surfaces as a harness timeout, which is the correct signal.

Prompt injection scan — 'must not act as a regex wildcard' in a test
comment matched the scanner's jailbreak pattern act\s+as\s+(a|an|if|
my). Reworded to 'behave as'. Deliberately NOT allowlisted: silencing a
whole test file over one phrase would blunt the scanner permanently,
and the comment has nothing to do with injection.

Neither failure was reachable from the remote runner — CodeQL and the
injection scan are not in that matrix, so the sha it passed was green
and still wrong.

42729b21fa fix: scan bin/lib subdirectories in the inventory-manifest generator
gen-inventory-manifest.cjs's cli_modules family did a flat readdirSync
of gsd-core/bin/lib/, invisible to anything shipped in a subdirectory.
Found while registering this phase's 8 health-diagnostic-rules/*.cjs
files in docs/INVENTORY.md (Standards-axis review) — the automated
manifest cross-check couldn't see them even though the manual
INVENTORY.md rows were correct.

Adds collectOneLevelSubdirs (mirrors the existing collectNested's
defensive statOrNull style) and merges flat + one-level-subdirectory
results into cli_modules's single sorted array, using the same
<subdir>/<file>.cjs key format INVENTORY.md's rows already use.

Regenerating the manifest surfaced that three OTHER existing
subdirectories (installer-migrations/, host-integration-adapters/,
observability/ — pre-existing, unrelated to this phase) were equally
invisible and had zero docs/INVENTORY.md rows at all. Added all 15
missing rows rather than leave a gap the fix itself just exposed.

Also fixes 3 pre-existing lint-legacy-dir-name violations in the
installer-migrations rows (legitimate references to the historical
get-shit-done -> gsd-core rename these migrations clean up — marked
with the guard's own gsd-allow-legacy-name exemption) and a stale

e0021a2fed refactor(#3309): extract health-diagnostic-types leaf module, wire RULES
Wiring all 8 rule-group files into health-diagnostic.cts's RULES array
created a genuine CJS circular dependency: each group file required
health-diagnostic.cjs back for the shared enums, and health-diagnostic.cjs
now required the group files forward, so the enums were undefined
mid-load (destructuring health-diagnostic.cjs's still-unassigned
exports).

Fixes it by splitting the enums/types (SEVERITY, REMEDY_ACTION,
REMEDY_RISK, Remedy, Diagnostic, Rule) into a dependency-free leaf
module, health-diagnostic-types.cts, that both sides import instead of
each other. health-diagnostic.cts re-exports the enums for existing
consumers. RULES is now the real concatenation of all 8 groups (31

Phase 11 of epic #3180 (ADR-3180 §8.2/§8.3/§8.5). New src/health-diagnostic.cts:
SEVERITY/REMEDY_ACTION (7 members: 6 real repair actions + ADVISE)/REMEDY_RISK
(NONE/DESTRUCTIVE) frozen enums, Diagnostic/Remedy/Rule types, an empty RULES
table (rules land in the next commits), evaluateRules (with a duplicate-code
defense-in-depth check ahead of the lint guard), and applyRepairs (the
DESTRUCTIVE-risk-refusal dispatcher — §8.3 rule 3 — with stub handlers; real
repair bodies port in the migration step).

Six-gate .cts ripple: .gitignore, eslint.config.mjs, docs/INVENTORY.md +
manifest, CONTEXT.md glossary entry.

97876a77a4 docs(#3308): ADR-3180 §8.1 Enforced, Amendment 9 — Phase 10 validation
Updates docs/adr/3180-planning-semantic-model-single-owner.md to
reflect Phase 10 shipping: §8.1 status Required -> Enforced (Phase 10,
#3308), guard-roster row contract only -> enforced, phase-index table
issue/status backfilled, and a new Amendment 9 recording the guard's
real baseline (15 distinct raw-read sites, 21 total acknowledged
occurrences in cmdValidateHealth) against the issue's own vaguer
estimate, per Amendment 4a's standing "N found by the guard, never
per the epic" rule. Also records the intended reading of an absent
STATE.md as UNREADABLE-without-diagnostic, symmetric with every other
§7 owner's absence-vs-corruption distinction.

2538fd6344 refactor(#3308): add planning-snapshot.cts parsed projection per ADR-3180 §8.1
Phase 10 of epic #3180. src/planning-snapshot.cts is a new parsed
projection of .planning/, composed exclusively from the already-
consolidated §7 owners (getMilestoneInfo, listMilestonePhaseDirs,
isPhaseComplete, scanPhasePlans, stateFieldValue, planningPaths) plus
the frozen SCOPE enum. No new semantic derivation is introduced beyond
worstScope, a pure combinator folding several independently-scoped
owner answers into one composite signal.

Adds STATE_UNREADABLE to src/unusable-input.cts's UNUSABLE_REASON
(seventh #1879 site) for STATE.md exists-but-unreadable, distinct
from absent.

Adds scripts/lint-planning-snapshot-bypass-drift.cjs, a ratcheted
drift guard (ADR-3180 Decision 4(e)) scoped to DIAGNOSTIC_RULE_FUNCTIONS
(currently cmdValidateHealth in src/verify.cts only) preventing new
raw .planning/ reads from bypassing the snapshot, while acknowledging
cmdValidateHealth's existing 15 raw-read sites as debt owned by
Phase 11 (#3309).

Six-gate .cts ripple: .gitignore, eslint.config.mjs,
docs/INVENTORY.md + manifest regen, CONTEXT.md glossary entry.

Breaking changes: none. This phase adds the subject only; Phase 11
migrates cmdValidateHealth onto it.

f0abdb1b89 fix(#2486): do not recommend or persist Claude-only worktree isolation on non-Claude runtimes (#2531)
* fix(#2486): runtime-branch the settings worktrees question + W020 health diagnostic

On non-Claude runtimes /gsd:settings offered "Yes (Recommended)" for
worktree isolation and persisted workflow.use_worktrees: true — the exact
value the execution workflows fail closed on (#1521 guards). Branch the
question on the same stamped config-get runtime read the guards use:
Claude keeps the unchanged question; non-Claude offers only
"No (Recommended)" / "Leave unchanged", never persists true, and warns
when the config carries an inherited explicit true. /gsd:health gains
W020, surfacing such a config with the guards' own predicate before
execution-time failure. Docs state the runtime-conditional default.

Fixes #2486

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

* fix(#2486): reassign the health worktrees check W020 -> W024 (verify.cts namespace collision)

The workflow-level check collided with the live W020 (git-worktree-list
health) emitted by cmdValidateHealth in src/verify.cts — invisible from
health.md's error_codes table, which stops at W019 and under-represents
the real namespace (W010-W017, W020-W023 all live). W024 verified free.
Adds a regression test pinning the chosen code against src/verify.cts so
a future assignment cannot silently collide, a table note naming the
namespace owner, and the changeset body reworded to house style.

* fix(#2486): pre-select the recommended repair in the broken-inheritance case

Review round 2: at settings.md:142 the pre-selection rule left "Leave
unchanged" as the default when the config carried an explicit
non-false use_worktrees — the exact broken state the adjacent notice
warns about, so accepting the default kept a config that fails closed
at execution time. "Leave unchanged" is now the default only when the
key is absent (nothing to repair); explicit false AND explicit
non-false both pre-select "No (Recommended)", aligning the default,
the label, and the notice.

Pinned by two source-contract assertions in the #2486 regression
block. Goldens (settings.md hash x19) + size baseline regenerated.

* fix(#2486): gate the worktrees question on dispatch.isolation, not the runtime name

Review round 2: #2584 Phase 3 replaced the runtime-name test with a
declared `dispatch.isolation` capability, invalidating this PR's
premise. cursor declares harness-worktree and codex/opencode/kimi/
kimi-code declare orchestrator-worktree, so a `RUNTIME != claude` gate
blocked a supported configuration on five runtimes and false-warned in
health.

- settings.md + health.md read `query dispatch-isolation` and branch on
  `ISOLATION = none`; the runtime-name read is gone from both, and the
  capability read needs no per-runtime stamping (it fail-closes unknown/
  undocumented internally)
- all "Claude Code-only primitive" prose rewritten, including the two
  gates the shell-syntax check missed (config-key list, JSON schema
  comment)
- W024 reconciled across health.md + CONFIGURATION.md + planning-config.md
  (docs still said W020, which collides with a verify.cts code)
- health.md error-codes table fixed: the namespace note no longer sits
  between rows orphaning I001
- the asymmetry note for the two workflows #2584 has not migrated
  (quick.md, diagnose-issues.md) is enforced by a set-equality test with
  a self-check table, so it cannot go stale in either direction

* docs(#2486): restore the Executor isolation section clobbered by #2661

`46ba02ac` (feat(#2630), the current next tip) reverted docs/CONFIGURATION.md
to a pre-#2584 state: it restored the old "Non-Claude note" wording on the
workflow.use_worktrees row and deleted the whole "Executor isolation per
runtime" section. The change is unrelated to that PR's phase-estimation
feature and looks like a stale-copy edit.

This PR's use_worktrees row links to #executor-isolation-per-runtime, so the
deletion leaves a dangling anchor. Restored byte-for-byte from a40ee8a5 (the
text #2584 Phase 3 originally shipped). No link/anchor checker exists in
scripts/ or tests/, so CI would not have caught the dead link.

The reverted row wording is outside this PR's scope and is still wrong on
next; reported upstream as #2668.

* test(#2486): acknowledge the emitted size growth for settings.md and health.md

The #2723 differential attribution check (epic #2719 Phase 3) landed on next
after this branch opened and gates emitted-file growth behind a committed
acknowledgment. Both grown files are attributable to source this PR changes;
the ack names them and says why, per ADR-2719 §3.

Verified load-bearing: removing tests/emitted-drift-ack.json reproduces the
same failure; restoring it passes 59/59.

* fix(#2486): reword the W024 remediation so it names no bare gsd-tools call

The W024 warning told the user to run `gsd-tools query config-set`, a
command-position bare invocation that fails with "command not found" on a
shim-only install (#2751) — the diagnostic sent the user into a second,
more confusing error than the one it reported. The remediation now names
only `/gsd:settings` and the config key itself, both of which work on
every install layout, and the #2751 command-position gate goes green.

Fixes #2486

* fix(#2486): drop the Known-asymmetry note and its guard test — #2728 migrates both workflows

Review Major 2: once #2728 lands, the note describes a gap that no longer
exists and instructs maintainers not to do the thing that was just done —
with the set-equality guard test pinning the stale prose green. This PR now
depends on #2728 (declared in the PR body), so the note and its guard go.

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

* test(#2486): make the #2728 merge order enforceable instead of advisory

settings.md recommends and persists `workflow.use_worktrees: true` for every
runtime whose declared dispatch.isolation is not `none` — cursor
(harness-worktree) and codex/opencode/kimi/kimi-code (orchestrator-worktree).
quick.md and diagnose-issues.md consume that value at dispatch time and, while
they still gate on the runtime NAME, FATAL for all five. Merged first, this PR
reintroduces #2486's own shape for the exact runtimes it exists to help — on
the path it now labels "Recommended".

The dependency was stated only as prose in the PR body. A merge-order note is
not a gate: an automated batch merge never reads it. This adds the check that
makes the ordering structural — red while either sibling is still name-gated,
green the moment #2728 lands.

The predicate matches a RUNTIME-vs-"claude" comparison, not the legitimate
runtime-identity read, and accepts either the inline canonical
dispatch-isolation read or a reference to dispatch-isolation-gate.md, which is
the shape #2728 gives quick.md. Verified both directions against real sources:
red against the current workflows, green against #2728's.

This also closes W024's coverage window. W024 fires only when ISOLATION is
`none`, so it is structurally blind to these five runtimes — /gsd:health would
report healthy right up until quick.md FATALs. W024 cannot see the hazard, so
the hazard is prevented by making the unsafe ordering unmergeable rather than
by warning after the fact.

Separately, the W-code namespace-collision test now declares its source read
instead of passing lint silently: verify.cts emits its codes as inline string
literals across ~25 addIssue() calls and exports no enumerable registry, so
there is nothing to require() and assert against. The gap, and what it costs,
are stated in the test.

* docs(#2486): use the hyphen command form for /gsd-health in CONFIGURATION.md

docs/ is never passed through the install-time slash-form converters, so the
colon form names a command no runtime registers. Clears the sole
lint-docs-command-form violation attributable to this PR.

* fix(#2486): resolve isolation via new side-effect-free inspect-dispatch-isolation query; scope the settings change to isolation-none runtimes

Review round 4:

- B1: /gsd:health and /gsd:settings no longer call the recording
  dispatch-isolation query — on current next it persists the resolved
  decision to the executor-isolation sentinel as an unconditional #3045
  side effect, letting a read-only diagnostic hard-block executor
  dispatch for the sentinel's lifetime across sessions. Both surfaces now
  use inspect-dispatch-isolation, a new read-only verb sharing the exact
  resolution implementation (extracted resolveDispatchIsolationDecision)
  with zero writes. Behavioral tests pin: no sentinel write, per-runtime
  parity with the recording verb, recording knobs ignored, --json shape.

- B2: the #2728 merge-order interlock test is deleted — a repo test
  cannot sequence merges; it only made this PR unmergeable on its own
  schedule. The settings behavior change is scoped entirely to the
  ISOLATION=none branch, which needs nothing from #2728; the != none
  path is base behavior unchanged.

- M1: the W024-vs-verify.cts namespace test (an admitted source-grep) is
  deleted per RULESET.TESTS.delete-bad-tests, without a standing
  exemption; the namespace claim lives as guidance in health.md.

- M2: remaining allow-test-rule exemptions re-derived into documented
  categories (source-text-is-the-product, integration-test-input) with
  issue refs per ADR-456.

- Minor: settings.md's current-value read drops the stampable
  --default/fallback so key-absence stays distinguishable from an
  explicit false on non-Claude emits (the pre-selection rule depends on
  the tri-state); docs now present inspect-dispatch-isolation as the
  inspection command and name dispatch-isolation as the recording
  resolver.

* fix(#2486): put the install-marker rung in the canonical runtime resolver

Round-7 review (independent cross-AI pass over the whole PR).

BLOCKER — the gate did not fire in the default case. `resolveRuntime`
stopped at GSD_RUNTIME > config.runtime > 'claude', and
`config-new-project` writes NO `runtime` key — so on a real non-Claude
install every consumer believed it was on Claude: isolation reported
`harness-worktree`, /gsd:settings still offered "Yes (Recommended)" and
W024 stayed silent. That is #2486's own symptom, surviving the fix meant
to remove it. Verified end-to-end on a real `--qwen` install with a
runtime-neutral config and GSD_RUNTIME unset: pre-fix `harness-worktree`,
fixed `none`.

The rung lives in `resolveRuntime` (src/runtime-slash.cts), the ONE
canonical resolver, not in the isolation call site. A per-consumer fix
forks precedence: `inspect-dispatch-isolation` would answer `cursor` while
`dispatch-should-flatten` and `resolve-dispatch-type` still answered
`claude` for the same install. All three now agree. `readInstallRuntimeMarker`,
its cache and its test seams MOVED from model-resolver.cts to
runtime-slash.cts, with model-resolver re-exporting the seams — one marker
read and one cache, not two that drift.

Deliberately NOT `resolveActiveRuntime`/`loadConfig`: an intermediate
revision of this fix routed through `loadConfig`, which normalizes and
rewrites legacy keys back to disk. That gave `inspect-dispatch-isolation`
— the verb whose entire purpose is being side-effect-free — a write side
effect, which is the defect the verb exists to avoid. `resolveRuntime`
reads .planning/config.json directly. Re-verified: the inspect query
against a real install creates no `.gsd/`.

Tests, both of which were too weak in the first attempt and are now
fail-first proven:
- The W024 behavioral stub returned success-with-empty-output for an absent
  key. Real `config-get` EXITS NON-ZERO, and the `|| echo "true"` fallback
  only triggers on failure — so reintroducing the fallback would have passed.
  The stub now returns 1 for the absent case.
- The marker regression asserted on the exported helper, so reverting
  gsd-tools.cjs to a marker-blind resolver still passed. It now drives a real
  `--qwen` install through the shipped `inspect-dispatch-isolation` query.
  (GSD_TEST_MODE must be cleared for that child, or install.js no-ops while
  still exiting 0 — a green test over an install that wrote nothing.)
  Spawned through `installSpawnEnv()` so ambient GSD_HOME cannot leak in.

Also: the three PR-added `try/finally` test bodies converted to `t.after()`
per CONTRIBUTING; CONTEXT.md's `worktree create` UNCONSUMED claim corrected
(Phase 3 calls it in executor-isolation-dispatch.md); docs/CONFIGURATION.md
now states the current non-Claude `use_worktrees` default rather than
describing capability-scoped stamping that lands with #2652; resolver
precedence comments updated to name the marker rung.

Refs #2486
Refs #2668

* fix(#2486): split the marker rung out; make the use_worktrees doc row order-independent

Round-8 review. trek-e's Blocker was procedural — commit 10fba7b8 moved the
per-install .gsd-runtime marker rung into the canonical resolver, a large
blast-radius change that arrived undisclosed and unreviewed. They offered
two remedies; taking the second: SPLIT IT OUT.

src/runtime-slash.cts and src/model-resolver.cts are reverted to their next
state and the marker regression test is removed. What remains is what this
PR was filed for: the settings.md / health.md / gsd-tools.cjs isolation
query, W024, and the #2668 docs restoration.

COST, stated plainly rather than buried: without that rung this PR's gate
resolves 'claude' on a non-Claude install whose project config carries no
`runtime` key — which is every config config-new-project writes. On those
installs W024 stays quiet and /gsd-settings still offers Worktrees. The gate
is correct whenever the runtime IS resolvable (GSD_RUNTIME set, or an
explicit config.runtime). That is why `Fixes #2486` is already downgraded to
`Refs` — #2486 must not close until the residual lands. A KNOWN LIMITATION
comment at the resolver call site names #2395 so this does not read as an
oversight.

The rung itself belongs to #2395, which reports this exact defect and was
closed by #2446 — a PR that touched only bin/install.js and fixtures and
never runtime-slash.cts, so it persisted the identity into
~/.gsd/defaults.json, a tier resolveRuntime does not read. Evidence and a
reopen request are posted there. That same tier is #2566's B1.

DOCS — the reviewer flagged that this row and #2728's are order-dependent:
whichever merges second falsifies the other. Removed the dependency instead
of picking an order. The "Current default … until #2652" paragraph is now a
plain troubleshooting note, true before and after #2728 lands.

CONFLICT — one hunk in CONTEXT.md: next added the #2596 scope-conformance
interface to the same Worktree-Safety paragraph where this PR corrected the
`worktree create` UNCONSUMED claim. Resolved keeping both.

Verified: lint:ci green. Full suite clean apart from the pre-existing
#1160 installed-runtime capability surface. (emitted-attribution also failed
until the fork's stale next was fast-forwarded — it defaults to origin/next,
which was 131 commits behind; 175/175 against the current base.)

Refs #2486
Refs #2668

* fix(#2486): address round-9 review — distinguish "cannot resolve" from "declares none", reject recording-only args on the read verb

Codex review of the whole PR, five findings, all verified against source first.

Major 3 (the one real defect). Both surfaces read isolation as
`ISOLATION=$(… || echo "none")`, so a resolver failure became indistinguishable
from a genuine `dispatch.isolation: none` declaration — and W024's text then
asserts the latter, telling a user their runtime declares no executor-isolation
primitive when GSD simply could not find out. health.md and settings.md now
capture the raw value and track ISOLATION_RESOLVED, the same shape
references/dispatch-isolation-gate.md already uses (#2652 review). W024 gained a
second message for the unresolved case; settings still fails closed there — it
must never persist a `true` it cannot justify — but reports what happened rather
than a verdict it never reached.

Major 4. `dispatch-isolation` applies --force-isolation AFTER the shared
resolver returns; inspection accepted the flag and silently ignored it, so the
same argv yielded 'none' from one verb and the declared capability from the
other. inspect-dispatch-isolation now rejects --force-isolation/--phase/--plan
as usage errors. Verified by mutation: disabling the guard reds exactly the
three new rejection tests.

Major 1. settings.md claimed this flow and the execution guards "always reach
the same verdict". False while quick.md still gates on the runtime name: an
orchestrator-worktree host can be offered a `true` that /gsd:quick rejects as
fatal, W024 silent because isolation is not none. Scoped the claim to the
capability gate, named #2728 as the conversion, and added the same caveat to the
CONFIGURATION.md use_worktrees row. Not a behavior change — the `!= none` branch
is untouched base behavior.

Major 2. "side-effect-free" overstated it: every gsd-tools invocation runs the
shared bootstrap, and getActiveWorkstream unlinks a stale workstream pointer.
That is pre-existing, verb-independent and cannot block a dispatch; writing the
sentinel can. Renamed the claim to "sentinel-free" everywhere and documented
precisely what is and is not asserted.

Minor 5. The JSON parity test asserted against a handwritten key list and never
invoked the recording verb, so the two could diverge and stay green. It now runs
`dispatch-isolation --json` in a separate project dir and deep-compares, with a
control asserting that verb DID write a sentinel. Added the orchestrator exec
branch (--cwd-target) the registry parity test never covered.

runtime-converters.test.cjs pinned the old `|| echo "none"` line as canonical —
that literal was the Major 3 defect. Repinned as two invariants (the raw read is
present; the collapsing fallback is absent) plus an ISOLATION_RESOLVED
requirement, so reformatting does not fail the test but a semantic regression
does.

settings.md sits at 40777 bytes against the 40960 DEFAULT hard cap. The
round-9 prose was compressed to fit rather than raising the cap.

Validated: lint:ci clean; full suite green except the two failures that
reproduce identically on pristine next @ 33fca50d (#1160 _resolveManifest, and
the #3053 quick_id tests, which compare a local-time expectation against a
TZ=UTC child and so only pass on a UTC host).

* fix(#2486): second review pass — drop a dangling reference, correct the whole unresolved branch, pin the branch behaviorally

Codex re-review of the full PR after the first round-9 pass. It confirmed Majors
1, 2 and 4 and Minor 5 fixed, and found seven more. All verified against source.

Minor 5 was mine and the worst of them: settings.md and health.md pointed at
`gsd-core/references/dispatch-isolation-gate.md`, which exists only on the #2728
branch — not in this PR and not on the merge-base. Merging this alone would have
shipped three dangling canonical-source references. Removed; the surrounding
text now stands on its own.

Major 2. The unresolved branch corrected only the two option descriptions. The
pre-selection rationale still claimed an absent key already resolves to false on
this runtime, and the explicit-true notice still stated the runtime declares no
primitive — both capability verdicts that were never reached. The substitution
rule now covers every place in that branch that asserts one.

Major 3. The repinned invariants could not catch the mutation they existed to
catch: flipping the shipped block's ISOLATION_RESOLVED=true to false left all
three green, since they only assert the raw read is present, the token appears,
and the collapsing fallback is gone. Added a behavioral test that drives the
shipped W024 block twice — resolver answering vs resolver exiting non-zero — and
asserts the two emit different text, that the unresolved branch says "could not
resolve", and that it does NOT claim the runtime has no primitive. Verified: the
true->false mutation now reds it.

Major 1. The verb fail-closes an unknown or undeclared runtime to `none` and
exits 0, so ISOLATION_RESOLVED=true means "the query answered", not "the runtime
published a declaration" — the shell cannot see an internal fallback. Exposing
provenance is an API change and out of scope here, so W024's resolved-case text
is instead written to be true of every path that reaches it ("no usable
executor-isolation primitive — declared or fail-closed from an unknown value"),
and both workflows state the limit of the signal explicitly.

Minor 4. The rejection tests regex-matched human prose, so swapping
ERROR_REASON.USAGE for UNKNOWN would have kept them green while breaking machine
consumers. They now pass --json-errors and assert reason === 'usage' on the
parsed envelope.

Minor 6. CONTEXT.md still described the verb as side-effect-free. Now
sentinel-free, consistent with the router comment and the other two surfaces.

Minor 7. 183 bytes of headroom under the 40960 hard cap was called
unacceptable, and it was — a routine 184-byte edit would have failed CI.
Compressed this PR's own settings.md prose (the #2486 block was carrying ~7.1KB
of rationale) to 40499 bytes, 458 free. Two phrases other tests pin verbatim
were restored after the first compression pass reworded them.

Validated: lint:ci clean; full suite green except the two failures that
reproduce identically on pristine next @ 33fca50d.

* fix(#2486): third review pass — placeholder table replaces the fragile substitution rule

Codex round 3 blocked the push on two Majors. Both verified and real.

Major 2 was the substantive one and my error. The round-2 fix told the model to
find and replace the string "this runtime declares no executor-isolation
primitive (dispatch.isolation: none)" — text that does not appear anywhere in
the branch. The first option description has no parenthetical, the second
asserts "absent, it already resolves to false on this runtime" (not covered at
all), and the pre-selection rationale and notice carried three more unsupported
assertions. A model following the instruction literally would have found no
match and changed nothing.

Replaced with three named placeholders — {FINDING}, {CONSEQUENCE}, {ABSENCE} —
and a two-column table giving each one's resolved and unresolved wording. Every
assertion in the branch now flows from the table, so none of them can outrun
what was actually established, and there is no string-matching to get wrong. It
is also shorter than the prose it replaced.

Major 1: the resolver catches thrown errors and returns none successfully, a
path the round-2 wording ("declared, or unknown/undeclared") did not cover.
Both surfaces now say "declared as none, or fail-closed because the capability
could not be determined", which is true of the thrown path too, and both state
that an internal resolution error is among the things the verb fail-closes.
Still not provenance — the verb cannot distinguish these for the caller — but no
longer a claim the code contradicts.

Minor 3: the behavioral test asserted only that the two branches differ and that
the resolved one omits "could not resolve", so arbitrary resolved text stayed
green. Now pins what it must positively say: the capability finding, the
fail-closed consequence, the offending key, and (both branches) the repair
command.

Minor 4: two stale artifacts the round-2 sweep missed — a test comment still
citing the #2728-only references/dispatch-isolation-gate.md, and the emitted
drift ack still describing inspection as side-effect-free. Also aligned the two
remaining router comments to sentinel-free.

settings.md 40420 bytes, 540 free under the cap.

Validated: lint:ci clean; full suite green except the two failures that
reproduce identically on pristine next @ 33fca50d.

* fix(#2486): fourth review pass — stop recommending a repair whose effect depends on the emit

Codex round 4, one Major and three Minors. The Major is a real hole and worth
the round.

W024 advised "remove the key from .planning/config.json so the runtime default
(false) applies". That default is not false everywhere: execute-phase.md:102,
quick.md:155 and diagnose-issues.md:62 all read the key as
`|| echo "true"`, and only `_stampNonClaudeRuntimeDefaults` rewrites them to
`--default false` on a non-Claude emit. So on an un-stamped emit the advised
repair leaves use_worktrees resolving to TRUE against isolation none — exactly
the state W024 exists to flag. Reachable in the round-3 gap: a caught internal
resolver error returns none with rc=0, so ISOLATION_RESOLVED is true and the
confident branch fires on a host whose emit was never stamped.

Fixed by removing the dependence rather than the symptom: both surfaces now say
to set workflow.use_worktrees false explicitly, and say why deleting the key is
not equivalent. The {ABSENCE} placeholder no longer claims absence resolves to
false unconditionally — it is scoped to an emit that stamped that default.

Minor: the notice and W024 hardcoded .planning/config.json, which is the wrong
file in an active workstream (settings itself resolves $GSD_CONFIG_PATH
correctly). Both now say "the project config", naming the workstream case.

Minor: the new repair pin required the literal /gsd:settings, a form documented
as no longer routable. Relaxed to accept the canonical slash and $-prefixed
forms so a correct rewording cannot fail the test.

Nit: two test descriptions still said side-effect-free.

Not fixed, deliberately: the verb still cannot tell a caught resolver error from
a declared none, so ISOLATION_RESOLVED remains a signal about the CALL, not the
declaration. Both workflows now state that limit outright. Exposing provenance
is a change to the query contract that belongs with the runtime-resolution work
in #2395, not here.

Validated: lint:ci clean; full suite green except the two failures that
reproduce identically on pristine next @ 33fca50d. The only change after that
suite run was removing a redundant regex escape flagged by eslint; that test was
re-run individually and eslint is clean.

* fix(#2486): fifth review pass — stop recommending "leave it absent" as the safe default

Codex round 5, one Major: the round-4 fix corrected the {ABSENCE} wording but
left the pre-selection rule built on the assumption it had just falsified. An
absent key still pre-selected "Leave unchanged" on the rationale that there was
nothing to repair. Absence resolves to false only where the emit stamped that
default; on an un-stamped emit it reads as true, so accepting the recommended
default could preserve the exact isolation-none-plus-true state this branch
exists to prevent.

The isolation-none branch now pre-selects "No (Recommended)" in every case,
including an absent key. Writing an explicit false is correct under either emit;
"Leave unchanged" stays available for the deliberate shared-config case but is
never the default. The test that pinned the old rule pinned a falsified
assumption, so it now pins the new one and asserts the old sentence is gone.

Also tightened the round-4 repair regex, which had been relaxed far enough to
accept `$gsd:settings` and `/gsd:settings-bogus`. It now matches only the
canonical `/gsd-settings`, `/gsd:settings` and `$gsd-settings` forms.

* fix(#2486): make the inspection exemption block-scoped, and drop the last pre-#2728 claim

Codex review of the conflict resolution: one Major, two Minors, all real.

Major. The inspection-surface exemption I added to #2728's "every dispatch-site
degrade block re-records" guard was FILE-wide. Codex probed it by adding an
unrecorded executor block to health.md: the exemption assertions still passed,
the whole file was skipped, and the offender went unreported. That is the same
hole the hand-listed revision of this guard had — a promise of "every dispatch
site" with a silent carve-out.

Now scoped per block. A block earns the exemption only by resolving through
`inspect-dispatch-isolation` AND carrying no dispatch primitive (`Agent(`,
`harnessFlag`/`HARNESS_FLAG`, `isolation="worktree"`, or the recording verb).
The file-level assertions remain as a precondition on top. Verified with Codex's
own probe: the appended dispatch block is now reported at health.md:285, while
the legitimate inspection block still passes.

Minor. settings.md still carried the caveat saying `quick.md` gates on the
runtime name and "#2728 converts that surface". #2728 has landed. Same obsolete
premise already removed from docs/CONFIGURATION.md in the merge commit; this was
the copy I missed. Removing it also returns 413 bytes, so settings.md now has
688 free under the 40960 cap rather than 275.

Minor. Four scratch-directory prefixes still read `w024` after the renumber.
Non-functional, but the whole point of the rename was that W024 now means
someone else's warning.

Validated: lint:ci clean; full suite green except the two failures that
reproduce identically on pristine next.

* fix(#2486): name the diagnostics' state INSPECTED_ISOLATION and delete the exemption

Codex probed the per-block exemption and it was still escapable: DISPATCH_PRIMITIVE
matched only `Agent(`, two harness-flag spellings, `isolation="worktree"` and the
recording verb, so `Task(`, `spawn_agent(`, a `codex exec` process dispatch, and —
unfixably by any regex — the repo's normal split shape (isolation resolved in one
bash fence, dispatch in a later one) all still qualified as exempt.

Took Codex's suggested fix, which is better than the one it replaces. The
diagnostics now name their state `INSPECTED_ISOLATION` / `INSPECTED_RESOLVED` /
`_INSPECTED_RAW` instead of reusing the dispatch-site names. #2728's guard scans
for a literal `ISOLATION=none`, so health.md and settings.md fall outside it BY
CONSTRUCTION and the exemption is deleted outright — no carve-out to escape, and
a diagnostic that ever writes a real `ISOLATION=none` is caught like any other
site. The name is also just more accurate: an inspection result is not a dispatch
decision.

Pinned so the reasoning cannot be lost: the #2486 suite now asserts neither
diagnostic assigns the bare `ISOLATION` name, with the rationale in the comment.
Verified by mutation — renaming back makes #2728's guard flag health.md:107 AND
fails the new naming pin.

Net effect on the guard's coverage is positive: before this PR it scanned two
fewer files by exemption; now it scans everything.

77374cfc32 fix(#2528): resolve digit-leading phase directories by bare number (#2559)
* fix(#2528): resolve digit-slug phase dirs by bare number — tokenizer rewind, shared bare-integer fallback, resolution-path parity gate

extractPhaseToken welded 2-digit slug words onto the phase token (phase 10
named "24/7 Autonomy" -> dir 10-24-7 -> token 10-24), making digit-prefixed
phase names unresolvable by bare number across every phase verb.

- phase-id: continuation segments must be the PURE 2-digit zero-padded form
  the write side emits; a 1-digit terminator rewinds the absorbed run
  (10-24-7 -> 10) while >=2-digit terminators keep the locked #2232
  round-trip (14-06-2026-photos -> 14-06).
- phase-id: new matchPhaseDirs owner — primary exact-token match plus a
  bare-integer leading-digit-run fallback for shapes the tokenizer cannot
  rewind (05-80-20-cleanup); collisions stay #2237-loud.
- locator/find-phase/phase-plan-index all delegate selection to the owner;
  plan-index gains the previously missing multi-match guard.
- tests: #2528 unit + fast-check metamorphic blocks; new 9-scenario
  resolution-path parity gate across all three paths.

* fix(#2528): route the fourth resolution site through matchPhaseDirs

Review BLOCKER. smart-entry.cts::detectVerifyFailed resolved the current
phase's directory with its own `.find(phaseTokenMatches)` and never
reached the shared selection, so the bare-integer-fallback family the
issue names — `05-80-20-cleanup`, `30-12-factor-refactor` — resolved
nowhere. The miss is silent by construction: an unresolved phase reports
"not failed", which is byte-identical to a healthy one, so a failed
verification simply never surfaced in /gsd or /gsd:progress.

`entries` is already sorted and matchPhaseDirs filters without
reordering, so matches[0] reproduces the previous selection exactly
wherever the old code resolved at all.

Wiring it into phase-resolution-parity.test.cjs as a fourth path then
exposed a second, older defect in the same function: phaseTokenFromDirName
shape-probed the UNSTRIPPED token, so a project-code-prefixed directory
(`MEM-05-…`, tokenizing to `MEM-05-80-20`) failed the leading-digit test
and was dropped before any resolution ran — every phase in a
project-coded plan was invisible to this check. The probe now runs on the
stripped token; the returned value is unchanged, so the comparePhaseNum
sort is untouched.

Path 4 has no JSON surface to compare, so the gate observes selection
indirectly: plant the failing artifact in exactly one directory and a
passing one everywhere else, then read the boolean. Reverting either fix
turns 5 of the 10 corpus scenarios red.

* refactor(#2528): collapse the duplicated extractCanonicalPlanId

Review MAJOR. The function existed as two independent, byte-identical
copies — src/core-utils.cts and src/phase.cts — and this PR had to patch
BOTH with the same single-digit-slug rewind rule. That is the generative
fix divergence CLAUDE.md names, and only the core-utils copy was under
test, so a future one-sided patch would have silently split plan-id
canonicalization between the plan listing and everything else.

Removed rather than parity-tested: core-utils was already the leaf owner
and already exported it, and phase.cts already imported that module, so
there is no second surface left for a parity test to police.

* test(#2528): pin matchPhaseDirs at the digit-width boundaries

Review MAJOR. The bare-integer fallback's correctness rests entirely on
capturing each directory's whole leading digit run before the zero-strip
compare; a regex that stopped short would turn every query into a prefix
match, and "1" would claim 10, 100, and 12 alike. The existing coverage
was example-based and never touched that boundary.

Adds the explicit 9/10 and 1/10/100 cases — including the forms where
only the wider directories exist, so an exact-width neighbour cannot
satisfy the assertion — plus a fast-check property over arbitrary
distinct leading runs. The property is stated as an invariant on the
result (every returned directory's leading run IS the query) rather than
an expected list, so it covers primary and fallback matches alike and
cannot be satisfied by reimplementing the selection in the test.

Both fail when the fallback regex is degraded to a prefix match.

* fix(#2528): route the remaining eight consumers through matchPhaseDirs

phaseTokenMatches had eight consumers left that each rebuilt the directory
selection around it by hand: phases-list, next-decimal, phase-remove, the
W021 milestone-consistency check, schema-drift, the init-manager overview,
milestone-complete's disk check, and roadmap analyze. Every one of them
reproduced the reported symptom in full after the tokenizer was fixed.

None of them derives a displayed phase number from the matched directory,
so none needs phaseNumberForMatch; the change at each site is the
selection and nothing else. matchPhaseDirs filters without reordering, so
matches[0] reproduces the prior .find() choice wherever the old code
resolved at all.

phaseTokenMatches now has no call sites outside phase-id.cts. It stays
exported as the primitive matchPhaseDirs is built from and as a pinned
canonical surface, but no consumer reaches past the owner to it.

* test(#2528): extend the parity gate to the migrated consumers

Each of the eight is observed through the surface a user sees, not
through the matcher, with a no-directory control so the assertions cannot
be satisfied by a consumer that resolves unconditionally. init-manager
and roadmap-analyze are additionally asserted to agree with each other.

* refactor(#2528): own the case-flexible phase grammar and the leading-digit-run fragment

validate.cts derived its case-flexible regex sources by running
`replaceAll('A-Z', 'A-Za-z')` over two constants exported by phase-id.cts.
That passes lint-phase-id-drift.cjs — there is no literal copy of the
grammar — but it depends on the owner rendering that exact substring. The
day phase-id.cts expresses the same class any other way the replaceAll
silently no-ops and validate.cts narrows to uppercase-only. The failure
mode is a NON-match, so nothing throws and no uppercase-only fixture
notices. Both variants are now derived once, beside the sources they
widen, and imported.

Also names the leading digit run the bare-integer fallback selects on.
It was spelled `/^(\d+)(?:-|$)/` where the fallback filters and `/^\d+/`
where phaseNumberForMatch reads the number back off the winner; selecting
on one run and displaying another would resolve a directory and then label
it with a number that never matched it.

* fix(#2528): refuse to remove a phase when two directories claim its number

cmdPhaseRemove was the only migrated site taking matches[0] with no
multi-match guard. Every sibling resolution path returns ambiguous_matches
and refuses to choose; this one is the DESTRUCTIVE path, so choosing
silently is strictly worse than anywhere else. With 05-80-20-a and
05-90-till-late on disk, `phase remove 5 --force` deleted one of them and
renumbered every phase after it — where the base resolved nothing, deleted
nothing, and the corpus in tests/phase-resolution-parity.test.cjs already
declared that exact input ambiguous.

The refusal is emitted before any file is touched and carries both
candidates. CONSUMER_SCENARIOS could not express the case — every row is
binary, resolving to one directory or to none — so the gate gains a
dedicated ambiguous test. It asserts on the filesystem, not only on the
reported directory_deleted: a null printed after an rmSync would satisfy
every other check.

* fix(#2528): pair digit-leading phase directories with their roadmap phase in validate health

W006/W007 are the ninth site of this bug class and the one a
`phaseTokenMatches` grep could never surface: they resolve roadmap↔disk by
intersecting TOKEN SETS, which is a dir→token labelling rather than the
query→dir selection matchPhaseDirs owns. On the canonical fixture the
label is wrong in both directions at once, so `validate health` reported
"Phase 5 in ROADMAP.md but no directory on disk" AND "Phase 05-80-20
exists on disk but not in ROADMAP.md" for the same directory.

collectDiskPhases now keeps the directory names behind each token, so
W006 can ask the canonical matcher whether a roadmap phase resolves to a
real directory, and W007 — which iterates directories and therefore has no
query to resolve — gets the inverse mapping it never had: a directory is
claimed when some roadmap phase resolves to it.

Both checks are additive: the token intersection still decides every shape
it already decided, and the resolution can only REMOVE a warning. The
regression test carries controls in the other direction — a roadmap phase
with no directory must still raise W006, an unclaimed directory must still
raise W007 — so it cannot be satisfied by a check that stopped reporting.

* docs(#2528): state and pin the directory-side scope of the bare-integer fallback

The matchPhaseDirs docblock claimed deep-decomposition lookups were
untouched. That is true of the QUERY side only — no non-bare query enters
the fallback — but the DIRECTORY side is what changed classification: a
bare `5` now reaches a lone `05-01-auth` and resolves it (phase_number
"05", phase_name "01-auth") where the base found nothing.

The widening is irreducible from directory names alone. `05-01-auth`
(sub-phase 5.1) and `30-12-factor-refactor` (phase 30 named "12-Factor
Refactor") are the same `NN-NN-<slug>` shape, and the discriminator that
would separate them — "is the second segment a valid decimal sub-phase" —
accepts `5.1` and `30.12` equally. Any rule strong enough to exclude the
first excludes the second, which is the defect #2528 exists to fix. So the
tie is broken in favour of resolving, the docblock now says so, and the
consequence is bounded where it matters: two such directories are two
matches, and every caller (including phase remove) refuses to choose.

Pins both directions, since nothing observed the directory side before.

* fix(#2528): count surviving phases by identity in phase remove's STATE resync

#2640 landed on `next` while this branch was open. Its STATE.md phase-count
resync re-derives "which directory was removed" from the query with
`phaseTokenMatches`, which is the tenth site of this issue's defect: the
bare-integer fallback resolves `05-80-20-cleanup` for query `5`, but the
token predicate does not, so the just-deleted directory is counted as still
present and the written `Total Phases` is one too high.

`targetDir` already IS the directory that was removed, and the block is gated
on it being non-null, so identity answers the question exactly — which is also
what the comment above the filter already claimed it did. This keeps
`phaseTokenMatches` out of `phase.cts` rather than re-importing it to satisfy
one call site: the module's public surface should not grow for a question that
does not need re-derivation.

Pinned in the parity gate with a control on a directory the tokenizer reads
correctly, so the assertion is about the digit-leading shape and not about the
counting rule changing for everything.

* fix(#2528): let the resolution layer own the digit-leading slug family alone

The tokenizer rewind this fix carried — pop the last absorbed continuation when
the segment that stopped the scan is a bare single digit — reads
"10-24-7-autonomy" (phase 10 named "24/7 Autonomy") correctly and silently
re-reads "10-24-7-zip" (sub-phase 10.24 named "7-Zip Integration") from "10-24"
to "10". The two names are string-identical in shape, so no local signal
separates them; the rule traded the reported ambiguity for the symmetric one a
level down, on a 15-caller chokepoint whose output also feeds query-less
derivations (STATE.md phase counts, W007, the #2562 key surface). A well-formed
sub-phase directory became unresolvable by its own id — the very symptom #2528
was filed about.

It also bought nothing. The bare-integer fallback in matchPhaseDirs already
resolves "10-24-7-autonomy" for query "10" whatever the token is: no primary
match, bare query, leading digit run "10". The reported case was covered twice,
by two rules, and the two disagreed about the case nobody reported.

So the rewind is removed rather than narrowed, in the tokenizer and in the five
surfaces kept in lockstep with it (BRACKET_PHASE_TOKEN_SOURCE,
PHASE_TOKEN_FROM_DIR_RE, canonicalPlanStem's pair grammar and its collision
branch, roadmap-parser's numericRe, extractCanonicalPlanId), together with the
SINGLE_DIGIT_RUN_SEGMENT_SOURCE owner constant they shared. Disambiguation now
lives only where a QUERY exists to disambiguate against, which is the same
bounded mechanism the "05-80-20-cleanup" shape already used.

Measured, not argued: over 29800 generated directory names, extractPhaseToken is
byte-identical to `next` on every input except the lowercase-continuation class
("01-20a", "05-80-20-25abc") — a rule about the segment itself, not a guess about
its neighbour.

Both readings now stay reachable by their own ids:
  matchPhaseDirs(['10-24-7-autonomy'], '10')    -> the dir   (fallback)
  matchPhaseDirs(['10-24-7-zip'],      '10')    -> the dir   (fallback)
  matchPhaseDirs(['10-24-7-zip'],      '10-24') -> the dir   (primary)

* test(#2528): pin the one-continuation boundary the rewind had no coverage for

The regressing shape was invisible to the suite by construction, not by luck:
the deep-rewind property built its cases from `continuationArb` with
`minLength: 2`, so it never exercised the single-continuation case — exactly one
genuine sub-phase level before a digit-leading slug — and every hand-written
fixture used the ambiguous shape only where "phase-plus-slug" was the intended
reading.

`continuationArb` is now `minLength: 1` and the property states the invariant
instead of the old rule: for any prefix, phase, 1-5 continuations and any
one-digit terminator, the token equals the FULL continuation run on both the
imperative and the regex surface, and `matchPhaseDirs([dir], token)` returns that
dir. That third assertion is the one that catches the class on its own — the old
behaviour made a well-formed directory unresolvable by its own id, which is a
property, not a fixture.

Around it: "10-24-7-zip" and "10-24-3d-printer" now sit beside
"10-24-7-autonomy" everywhere the family is pinned, so the two readings can never
diverge again; the 24/7 metamorphic property asserts the RESOLUTION result rather
than the token (the token is precisely the part no surface may decide); the
end-to-end parity corpus gains "a sub-phase with a digit-leading slug resolves by
its full id" across all four resolution paths; and the milestone-scoping residual
is pinned in three directions rather than left to prose.

Mutation: re-inserting the rewind and rebuilding turns 9 tests red, the
`minLength: 1` property first, and nothing else. Build success checked separately
(build:lib reports 0 `error TS`), so the mutation reached the artifact under test.

* test(#2528): pin the #2946 guard against digit-leading phase directories

The #2946 fix makes the milestone-complete unstarted-phase guard run
unconditionally, so whether it fires now rides entirely on the
directory-resolution owner this PR replaces. Two cases, both with STATE.md
carrying no `milestone:` field so the #2946 path is the one exercised:

  - ROADMAP Phase 5, disk `05-80-20-cleanup` → guard must stay silent.
    RED on next (fail-closed: the guard blocks a legitimate one-way-door
    operation because phaseTokenMatches resolves neither 05 nor 80 for
    that directory).
  - ROADMAP Phase 80, same directory → guard must still fire. Green on
    both sides; it pins the fail-open direction against a future widening
    of the matcher.

* fix(#3175): stop the injection scanner reading RegExp.exec as code execution

The apostrophe fix in 27aa40f6 replaced ["\x27] with a real ["'] class.
The old class never contained an apostrophe at all (POSIX bracket
expressions do not honour backslash escapes, so it was the set ", \, x,
2, 7), so only exec(" matched. Single-quoted method calls now match for
the first time, and RegExp.prototype.exec takes a subject string, not
code: any PR touching a file that tests a regex goes red. On next, six
files match the scanner's own pattern across 16 method calls.

A plain [^[:alnum:]] boundary cannot separate the two forms because . is
not alnum, so exec gets [^[:alnum:].] and the command-execution vector
moves to a dedicated member-call pattern. Bare exec('rm -rf /'),
cp.exec(...) and child_process.exec(...) all still fire.

Mutation: reverting the boundary reds 1 test and only it; removing the
member-call pattern reds the 2 non-weakening tests and only them.

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

* fix(#2528): keep exec( detection receiver-blind, allowlist the two grammar suites

The left boundary [^[:alnum:].] added in 58a7b560 excluded a preceding dot,
which dropped every member-position .exec('…') from the scanner. The follow-up
receiver pattern only restored three literal spellings (child_process,
childProcess, cp), so require('child_process').exec('…') — the most common Node
spelling of the vector this pattern exists to catch — became invisible, along
with any opaque receiver (conn.exec, shelljs.exec).

Revert the pattern to its receiver-blind form and handle the RegExp.prototype
.exec false positive where the script already handles this class: per-file
ALLOWLIST entries for the two phase-token grammar suites. Mutation-checked —
removing the two entries reds exactly those two files and nothing else.

The four assertions written around the old patterns are replaced by a
table-driven set covering all six spellings, including the three the narrowed
pattern silently lost.

* docs(#2528): pin the three undeclared grammar edges, correct the ambiguity claim

Review round 10 asked for declaration, not behavior change, on four items. All
four have zero production consumers or preserve their caller's prior rule, so
each is pinned as a test or corrected in prose rather than reverted.

- BRACKET_PHASE_TOKEN_SOURCE: the (?=-|$) terminator is what keeps the bracket
  read path in step with the other surfaces, and it costs the display shapes
  (`05.03: Title`, `12A: X`, `05.03]` no longer tokenize). Pinned so widening
  the terminator class is a deliberate act rather than a lookahead deletion.
- canonicalPlanStem: uppercase plan suffixes still strip, lowercase and dotted
  sub-plans now fall through. Dead export; pinned as a decision on record.
- getMilestonePhaseFilter: `12A-01-foo` now yields `12A-01`, matching what
  `12-01-foo` has always yielded. The letter suffix was the only reason a
  sub-phase directory folded into its parent phase's milestone window; the two
  shapes now agree. Not named in the review — found auditing the same commit.
- matchPhaseDirs docblock claimed every caller refuses on multi-match. Four do;
  five take matches[0]. Replaced the claim with the actual two-tier policy and
  the honest caveat that the bare fallback makes multi-match newly reachable
  for queries that previously found nothing.

23e26a9de8 chore(#3339): extend BUG_FILE_RE to fix-/issue- prefixes, close H3 (#3315)
Widens the identity ratchet in scripts/lint-regression-test-names.cjs
from banning only new bug-NNNN-*.test.cjs files to also banning
fix-NNNN-*.test.cjs and issue-NNNN-*.test.cjs, per epic #3053's own
recorded decision: extend only after the 74-file fix-*/issue-* backlog
fully drains, never before.

That precondition is now real, not assumed: this branch is rebased
onto origin/next with Waves 1-6 (#3341, #3342, #3373, #3376, #3378,
#3383) all merged, and a repo-wide check confirms zero tests/fix-*.test.cjs
or tests/issue-<N>-*.test.cjs files remain -- only the two known false
matches (issue-dedupe.test.cjs, issue-version-gate.test.cjs, feature-named
suites with no digits after the prefix) survive the glob, and the widened
regex correctly excludes both.

Allowlist snapshotted at zero (scripts/lint-regression-test-names.allowlist.json
was already [] and stays [] -- confirmed via --update reporting "already
in sync"). Updated docs/TESTING-SUITES.md's Regression tests section to
name fix-/issue- alongside bug- as banned new-file prefixes.

This is the last commit of H3 (#3315)'s 7-wave decomposition.

  text-gate.test.cjs (31, incl. fast-check property tests): both target
  verify.cjs/validate.cjs via different calling styles (CLI vs direct-
  require) — merged jointly into verify.test.cjs, 0 dropped.
- issue-2762-plan-reviews-chunked.test.cjs (3) merged into
  plan-phase-drift-guard.test.cjs.
- issue-2771-advisor-subagent-type.test.cjs (1) + issue-2772-discuss-
  phase-text-inconsistencies.test.cjs (6) merged jointly into
  discuss-phase-power.test.cjs.
- issue-498-update-backup-runtime-dir.test.cjs (3, rename basis) +
  issue-815-update-next-channel.test.cjs (7, merged in): both concern
  update.md workflow-text contracts, now update-workflow.test.cjs.
- issue-498-update-context.test.cjs (13): pure rename to
  update-context.test.cjs, sole comprehensive suite for its module.
- issue-2765-brace-expansion-lockfile.test.cjs (1, rename basis) +
  issue-3238-js-yaml-lockfile.test.cjs (1, merged in): two distinct CVE
  regression pins against package-lock.json, now lockfile-cve-audit.test.cjs,
  shared ROOT/npmLs helpers deduped instead of double-declared.

Ratchet upkeep to keep this wave's own gates green: pruned 3 stale
allow-test-rule allowlist entries, cited 2 previously-uncited comments
that surfaced in the folded content (#3338), tightened the exemption-file
ceiling 305 -> 297. Fixed one stale filename reference in production code
(src/init.cts) plus one in docs/reference/workflow-fragments.md.

Zero net test-coverage loss. No production code BEHAVIOR changed.

* test(#3338): fix orthogonal-review findings — Wave 6 fold

Standards-axis review found a real structural defect in two files, both
the same root cause and both fixed here:

- tests/update-workflow.test.cjs: the folded:issue-815-update-next-channel
  wrapper's closing brace was placed after the file's pre-existing tail
  instead of before it, making the already-established folded:bug-2470
  and folded:bug-3130 wrappers CHILDREN of issue-815's block in the test
  hierarchy instead of independent siblings — confirmed via an actual
  node --test run showing the mislabeled TAP nesting. Moved the closing
  brace to the correct position; all three fold wrappers are now
  top-level siblings again (verified via node --test, TAP hierarchy
  correct, 10/10 tests, 5 suites, identical count before and after).
- tests/plan-phase-drift-guard.test.cjs: same mistake in the other
  direction — folded:issue-2762-plan-reviews-chunked was spliced inside
  the pre-existing folded:bug-2492-context-coverage-gate wrapper instead
  of after it. Fixed the same way (227/227 tests, 38 suites, identical
  count before and after).
- Reverted unnecessary 815-suffixed local renames (assert815/fs815/etc.)
  introduced by the fold — the wrapper is genuinely block-scoped once
  correctly closed, so no collision existed (same class as Wave 4's
  __foldSetNested finding).

No test() count changed in either file. No production code touched.
