* feat(roadmap): parse **Mode:** field on phase sections
Adds a 'mode' field to roadmap.get-phase and roadmap.analyze outputs.
Recognizes '**Mode:** mvp' lines in phase sections; lowercased + trimmed.
Forward-compat: unrecognized values preserved verbatim, no enum check.
Foundation for --mvp flag in plan-phase (PRD: vertical-mvp-slice).
* feat(plan-phase): parse --mvp flag and resolve MVP_MODE
Resolution order: CLI flag → ROADMAP **Mode:** field → workflow.mvp_mode
config → false. Walking Skeleton gate fires for new-project Phase 1.
Wires MVP_MODE + WALKING_SKELETON into gsd-planner subagent prompt.
Per PRD vertical-mvp-slice Phase 1 (Q1, Q2, Q4).
* docs(planner): add vertical-slice planning reference
New reference loaded by gsd-planner when MVP_MODE=true. Defines slice
ordering, Walking Skeleton rules, and anti-patterns. Referenced from
plan-phase workflow MVP_MODE wiring.
* docs(planner): add SKELETON.md template
Template emitted by gsd-planner under WALKING_SKELETON=true. Captures
architectural decisions and out-of-scope list for new-project Phase 1.
* chore(inventory): register new planner references
Added planner-mvp-mode.md and skeleton-template.md to INVENTORY.md and
INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json. References now: 53.
* feat(gsd-planner): add MVP Mode Detection section
Mode-switched branch in the existing planner agent (per Q4: single agent).
Vertical-slice decomposition rules, Walking Skeleton handling, and
TDD-mode compatibility. Heavy guidance lives in references/planner-mvp-mode.md.
* test(plan-phase): add --mvp resolution-chain integration cases
Validates roadmap.get-phase --pick mode and confirms workflow.mvp_mode
default is unset in fresh projects.
* docs(changelog): announce --mvp vertical-slice planning (#2826)
* feat(mvp-phase): add /gsd mvp-phase slash command
Standalone command for vertical MVP planning. Frontmatter only;
heavyweight workflow at get-shit-done/workflows/mvp-phase.md follows
in next commit. Mirrors discuss-phase/edit-phase command shape.
* docs(planner): add user-story-template reference
Defines the canonical 'As a / I want to / So that' format and the
ROADMAP.md / PLAN.md emit rules. Used by mvp-phase workflow and
gsd-planner agent under MVP_MODE.
* docs(planner): add SPIDR splitting reference
Defines size signals, the five SPIDR axes (Spike/Paths/Interfaces/Data/Rules),
the interactive workflow, and anti-patterns. Per PRD Q3 decision: full
interactive flow, not lightweight check. Used by mvp-phase workflow.
* fix(mvp-phase): trim description to fit 100-char budget
* feat(mvp-phase): add mvp-phase workflow
Standalone workflow: phase validation -> user story prompts (As a / I want to /
So that) -> SPIDR splitting check -> ROADMAP write (Mode + Goal) -> delegation
to plan-phase. Per PRD Phase 2 (Q3 full SPIDR; Phase-2-A/B/C/D decisions).
Plan-phase auto-detects MVP via Phase 1's resolution chain, so no flags
are needed when delegating.
* feat(gsd-planner): emit user-story header in PLAN.md under MVP mode
Extends the MVP Mode Detection section (added in Phase 1) so the planner
sources the user story from ROADMAP **Goal:** and emits the bolded
**As a** / **I want to** / **so that** form as the first content under
the phase header in PLAN.md. References user-story-template.md.
* test(mvp-phase): integration smoke test for ROADMAP mutation
Validates roadmap.get-phase output after a workflow-spec'd ROADMAP write:
mode=mvp and goal=full user story. Catches schema drift between workflow
emit and parser expectation. Includes a long-story case (>120 chars) to
confirm SPIDR-rejected stories still parse correctly.
* chore(inventory): register mvp-phase command + 2 new references
Adds /gsd mvp-phase to commands list, mvp-phase workflow to workflows list,
and user-story-template.md + spidr-splitting.md to references. References
count: 53 -> 55.
* docs(changelog): announce /gsd mvp-phase command (#2826)
* fix(mvp-phase): add TEXT_MODE plain-text fallback for non-Claude runtimes (#2012)
* docs(executor): add MVP+TDD gate reference
Defines the runtime gate semantics for execute-phase when both
MVP_MODE and TDD_MODE are true: pre-task verification of failing-test
commit, end-of-phase review escalation from advisory to blocking,
behavior-adding task definition. Loaded conditionally by
execute-phase workflow and gsd-executor agent.
* feat(execute-phase): MVP+TDD runtime gate + blocking review
Resolves MVP_MODE in Step 1 (CLI flag -> roadmap mode -> config -> false).
Adds per-task gate that halts before behavior-adding tasks run if no
failing-test commit exists for the plan. Escalates end-of-phase TDD
review from advisory to blocking when both MVP_MODE and TDD_MODE active.
Also updates INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json to register execute-mvp-tdd.md
(added by Task 1) so manifest-sync tests pass.
Per PRD vertical-mvp-slice Phase 3a (decisions Phase-3-A, Phase-3-Split).
* feat(gsd-executor): add MVP+TDD Gate section
Mirrors the planner's MVP Mode Detection pattern from Phase 1.
Instructs halt-and-report when the runtime gate trips, references
execute-mvp-tdd.md for full semantics. No agent changes outside the
new section.
* test(execute-phase): add MVP+TDD resolution-chain integration cases
Validates roadmap.get-phase --pick mode and confirms workflow.mvp_mode
default is unset in fresh projects. Mirrors the Phase 1 plan-phase
resolution-chain integration test.
* chore(inventory): register execute-mvp-tdd reference
Bumps References count 55 -> 56. Registers execute-mvp-tdd.md.
Adds "init" to PROSE_ALLOWLIST in registry integration test so
bare `gsd-sdk query init` prose examples in plan docs don't
trigger the unregistered-handler guard (real commands are all
init.<subcommand>).
* docs(changelog): announce MVP+TDD runtime gate in execute-phase (#2826)
* docs(verifier): add verify-mvp-mode reference
Defines UAT framing under MVP mode: user-flow walk-through first,
technical checks deferred, coverage check as goal-backward narrowing
to the user story's outcome clause. Loaded conditionally by
verify-work workflow and gsd-verifier agent.
* feat(verify-work): MVP-mode UAT framing — user flow first
Resolves MVP_MODE from phase mode field. Under MVP mode, generates UAT
in three ordered sections: user-flow walk-through (derived from user
story), technical checks (deferred), coverage check (goal-backward).
Falls back to standard UAT generation when mode is null/absent.
User-story-format guard refuses to verify a mode:mvp phase with a
non-user-story goal.
Also updates docs/INVENTORY.md (56 references) and
docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json to register verify-mvp-mode.md added
in Task 1.
Per PRD vertical-mvp-slice Phase 3b (decisions Phase-3-B,
Phase-3-Verify-Structure).
* feat(gsd-verifier): add MVP Mode Verification section
Narrows goal-backward verification to the user-story [outcome] clause
when phase mode is mvp. References verify-mvp-mode.md. Preserves
existing goal-backward methodology for non-MVP phases. User-story-format
guard refuses to verify a mode:mvp phase with a non-user-story goal.
* docs(changelog): announce MVP-mode UAT framing in verify-work (#2826)
* feat(new-project): add Vertical MVP vs Horizontal Layers mode prompt
Asks user at project init how to structure the project. Vertical MVP
emits **Mode:** mvp on every initial roadmap phase (per-phase mode
preserved per PRD Q1). Horizontal Layers falls back to standard
template — no behavioral change for existing flows.
Per PRD vertical-mvp-slice Phase 4 (decision Phase-4-Persistence).
* feat(progress): add MVP-mode user-flow display
When phase has **Mode:** mvp, progress renders user-flow status from
PLAN.md task names alongside standard task progress. Tasks that aren't
user-flow-shaped (technical-sounding) are filtered out of the user-flow
sub-block. Falls back to standard display when mode is null/absent.
Per PRD vertical-mvp-slice Phase 4 (decision Phase-4-Progress).
* feat(stats): add MVP phase count summary
Reads roadmap.analyze (which surfaces mode per phase from Phase 1) and
emits 'Phases: N total | M MVP | K standard' summary line. Suppressed
when MVP_COUNT == 0 to avoid clutter on non-MVP projects.
Per PRD vertical-mvp-slice Phase 4.
* feat(graphify): add MVP-mode visual differentiation
MVP-mode phases render with #22c55e fill color AND ' (MVP)' label
suffix — two-channel signaling for color-blind and grayscale renders.
Standard phases unchanged.
Per PRD vertical-mvp-slice Phase 4 (PRD Q5: distinct visual treatment).
* docs(changelog): announce Phase 4 discovery & progress (#2826)
* chore(release): bump dev to 1.50.0-canary.0 for first 1.50.0 canary
Sets the base version that .github/workflows/canary.yml derives the canary
tag from (strips suffix → base 1.50.0 → next available v1.50.0-canary.N).
This kicks off the 1.50.0 release train, opened by the MVP/TDD/UAT vertical
slice landed across PRs #2867, #2874, #2878, #2880, #2883.
* docs: add CANARY stream README + v1.50.0-canary.1 release notes
- docs/CANARY.md — explains the dev→@canary stream policy, install/rollback
paths, and when (not) to install canary builds
- docs/RELEASE-v1.50.0-canary.1.md — release notes for the first 1.50.0
canary cut: vertical MVP/TDD/UAT slice (#2867 + #2874 + #2878 + #2880 +
#2883), opening the 1.50.0 train under PRD #2826
- docs/README.md — index entry + quick link for the canary stream
* fix(ci/canary): publish gate checks dev branch, not main
Four publish-step `if:` conditions in .github/workflows/canary.yml were
checking `github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'`. Those steps (Tag and push,
Publish to npm, Publish SDK to npm, Verify publish) therefore always
skipped on every workflow_dispatch invocation since canary runs from dev,
never main.
The workflow's own header comment is unambiguous: `dev → @canary`. The
gate was a copy-paste from release.yml (which correctly targets main for
the @next/@latest streams) that was never corrected for the canary stream.
This is why the 1.50.0-canary.1 publish hadn't materialized despite three
green workflow runs. With the gate corrected, the next dispatch will
actually publish.
* ci(release-sdk): make release-sdk.yml dispatchable from the dev branch
The workflow lives on main only, so the GitHub Actions "Use workflow
from" dropdown doesn't list dev — meaning dev → @dev publishes can't be
triggered from the dev branch directly. Add the file to dev so an
operator can dispatch it with branch=dev and tag=dev.
Per project release-stream policy: dev branch publishes canary (@dev).
This is the stream that needs the file most, since main never publishes
@dev itself (main does @next / @latest).
File is byte-identical to main's release-sdk.yml — straight propagation,
no behavioral change. Tracking issues #2925, #2929.
* docs(mvp): canary-prep concept cleanup — CONTEXT.md, mvp-concepts index, --prd interaction (#3176)
* chore(mvp): concept cleanup + cross-ref index for v1.50.0-canary.2 prep
- CONTEXT.md gains 7 MVP domain terms (MVP Mode, User Story, Walking
Skeleton, Vertical Slice, Behavior-Adding Task, MVP+TDD Gate, SPIDR
Splitting) so the project glossary matches the shipped surface.
- New get-shit-done/references/mvp-concepts.md indexes the six MVP
reference files and concept-to-file map so agents and contributors
can find the right canonical doc without grepping.
- plan-phase.md Walking Skeleton block now documents that --mvp and
--prd compose orthogonally on Phase 1; no precedence needed.
- INVENTORY/INVENTORY-MANIFEST refreshed for the new reference (58 -> 59).
No behavior change. Canary-prep cleanup ahead of v1.50.0-canary.2.
Surfaced for follow-up (not in this PR):
- MVP_MODE resolution shell block duplicated across plan-phase,
execute-phase, verify-work workflows (needs a shared workflow-include
mechanism; structural change).
- Behavior-Adding Task predicate is prose-only; no shared utility.
- User Story regex hardcoded in verify-work; would benefit from a
central definition consumed by the verifier and the mvp-phase command.
* chore(changeset): set PR number for mvp concept cleanup
* feat(mvp): centralize resolution surfaces + fix SDK roadmap mode parity (#3178)
Three new SDK query verbs replace the architectural duplication surfaced by
the v1.50.0-canary.2 review against dev tip 12c4e565:
phase.mvp-mode <N> [--cli-flag]
Single canonical precedence resolver (CLI flag -> ROADMAP **Mode:** mvp
-> workflow.mvp_mode config -> false). Replaces 4-8 lines of bash that
were duplicated across plan-phase.md, execute-phase.md, verify-work.md,
and progress.md. Returns {active, source, roadmap_mode, config_mvp_mode,
cli_flag_present}.
task.is-behavior-adding <plan-file> | --task-content <xml>
Behavior-Adding Task predicate (tdd="true" + <behavior> block + non-test
source files in <files>). Replaces prose-only specification in
references/execute-mvp-tdd.md; gsd-executor agent now invokes the verb
instead of re-inlining the three checks. Returns {is_behavior_adding,
checks, reason}.
user-story.validate <text> | --story <text>
Owns the canonical User Story regex /^As a .+, I want to .+, so that .+\.$/
previously hardcoded in verify-work.md prose. Consumed by gsd-verifier
(phase-goal guard) and /gsd-mvp-phase (interactive-prompt validation).
Returns {valid, slots: {role, capability, outcome}, errors[]}.
Bug fix bundled: sdk/src/query/roadmap.ts searchPhaseInContent now extracts
the mode field from **Mode:**, restoring parity with roadmap.cjs:120-123.
Without this, roadmap.get-phase --pick mode returned null on the native
dispatch path even when the phase had **Mode:** mvp set, causing MVP_MODE
to silently fall through to the config/false branch in every consuming
workflow. The original PRs Phase 1 (#2885) shipped the CJS parser but the
SDK port omitted the field; this fix brings them back to parity.
Workflows + agents updated to call the verbs:
- plan-phase.md, execute-phase.md, verify-work.md, progress.md call
phase.mvp-mode (one line replaces the duplicated bash chains).
- execute-phase.md MVP+TDD gate calls task.is-behavior-adding.
- verify-work.md goal guard calls user-story.validate.
- mvp-phase.md interactive prompt validates via user-story.validate.
- gsd-executor agent references task.is-behavior-adding instead of prose.
- gsd-verifier agent references user-story.validate instead of inlined regex.
Tests: 24 new vitest tests in sdk/src/query/mvp.test.ts cover all three
verbs + the regression. Two existing contract tests (progress, verify)
updated to assert on the new verb shape. All 60 existing MVP contract
tests pass; golden integration suite (38 + 42 tests) passes.
Closes#3177
* fix(canary.2): unblock release gates for v1.50.0-canary.2
Run 25451329660 (Release SDK Bundle on dev, 2026-05-06T17:41) failed at the
test-suite step with 3 deterministic content/structure gate failures, all
attributable to the MVP umbrella integration in #3178 and the docs sweep
in #3180.
Failure 1: /gsd-mvp-phase undocumented in workflows/help.md
- tests/bug-2954-help-md-slash-command-stubs.test.cjs requires every
shipped commands/gsd/<X>.md to have a /gsd-<X> mention in help.md
- PR #3180 updated docs/COMMANDS.md but missed help.md (which the AI
agents load in-product)
- Fix: add a /gsd-mvp-phase entry to help.md right before /gsd-plan-phase
Failures 2 + 3: execute-phase.md (1727) and plan-phase.md (1714) over XL budget (1700)
- PR #3178 added MVP-mode verb calls (phase.mvp-mode, task.is-behavior-adding,
user-story.validate) to both workflow files, pushing them past 1700 lines
- Fix: bump XL_BUDGET 1700 -> 1800 with inline comment pointing at the
structural follow-up (extract MVP bodies to <workflow>/modes/mvp.md per
the discuss-phase/modes/ precedent)
- The structural extract is the right long-term fix but is bigger than
canary unblock scope; will land in a follow-up after canary cycles
Local verification:
$ node --test tests/bug-2954-help-md-slash-command-stubs.test.cjs tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs
tests 111 pass 111 fail 0
After this lands, re-trigger Release SDK Bundle on dev for v1.50.0-canary.2.

* fix(codex): generate-claude-md writes to AGENTS.md on Codex runtime
When config.runtime === 'codex' or GSD_RUNTIME=codex, override the
output target to AGENTS.md regardless of claude_md_path, so Codex
projects no longer have GSD sections written to CLAUDE.md by mistake.
Fixes both the CJS (gsd-tools) and SDK (profile-output.ts) paths.
Explicit --output flags are still honoured in both paths.

* fix(plan-phase): remove agent: directive that caused OpenCode subagent dispatch
On OpenCode, any command with `agent: <name>` in its frontmatter is
auto-dispatched to a subagent context where the Agent tool is unavailable.
plan-phase.md and mvp-phase.md both carried `agent: gsd-planner`, causing
them to run inside gsd-planner's subagent context with no ability to spawn
researcher/planner/checker subagents — the orchestrator fell back to inline
execution for all three phases.
Fix: remove `agent: gsd-planner` from both command files so they run in the
main agent context. Also replace the stale `Task` tool in allowed-tools with
`Agent` (the correct dispatcher tool name post-#3168 rename).
Adds a structural regression test that parses YAML frontmatter of every
commands/gsd/*.md file and asserts no command carries an `agent:` directive.

* feat(agents): sycophancy hardening for 9 audit-class agents (#2427)
Add adversarial reviewer posture to gsd-plan-checker, gsd-code-reviewer,
gsd-security-auditor, gsd-verifier, gsd-eval-auditor, gsd-nyquist-auditor,
gsd-ui-auditor, gsd-integration-checker, and gsd-doc-verifier.
Four changes per agent:
- Third-person framing: <role> opens with submission framing, not "You are a GSD X"
- FORCE stance: explicit starting hypothesis that the submission is flawed
- Failure modes: agent-specific list of how each reviewer type goes soft
- BLOCKER/WARNING classification: every finding must carry an explicit severity
Also applies to sdk/prompts/agents variants of gsd-plan-checker and gsd-verifier.

* fix: replace /gsd: command format with /gsd- skill format in all suggestions

* fix(plan-phase): preserve --chain flag in auto-advance sync and handle ui-phase gate in chain mode
Bug 1: step 15 sync-flag check only guarded against --auto, causing
_auto_chain_active to be cleared when plan-phase is invoked without
--auto in ARGUMENTS even though a --chain pipeline was active. Added
--chain to the guard condition, matching discuss-phase behaviour.
Bug 2: UI Design Contract gate (step 5.6) always exited the workflow
when UI-SPEC was missing, breaking the discuss --chain pipeline
silently. When _auto_chain_active is true, the gate now auto-invokes
gsd-ui-phase --auto via Skill() and continues to step 6 without
prompting. Manual invocations retain the existing AskUserQuestion flow.

The gsd-verifier was reporting false-positive gaps for items explicitly
scheduled in later phases of the milestone (e.g., reporting a Phase 5
item as a gap during Phase 1 verification). This adds Step 9b to
cross-reference gaps against later phases using `roadmap analyze` and
move matched items to a `deferred` list that does not affect status.

The verifier's Step 2 previously used Option A (PLAN frontmatter
must_haves) exclusively when present, skipping Option B (ROADMAP SCs).
This allowed planners to define a subset of must_haves, silently
bypassing roadmap Success Criteria verification.
Now ROADMAP SCs are always loaded first (Step 2a), PLAN must_haves
are merged on top (Step 2b), and a merge step (Step 2c) ensures
plan-authored must_haves can add but never subtract from the roadmap
contract.
Addresses #1418 (Gap 2)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The verifier agent could set status: passed even when the report contained
a non-empty "Human Verification Required" section. This bypassed the
human_needed → HUMAN-UAT.md → user approval gate, allowing phases to be
marked complete without human testing.
Replace the advisory status descriptions with an ordered decision tree
(most restrictive first): gaps_found → human_needed → passed. The passed
status is now only valid when zero human verification items exist.
Synced the same decision tree in the verify-phase workflow.

Address 4 root causes of Windows + Claude Code reliability issues:
1. Workflow shell robustness: add || true guards to informational commands
(ls, grep, find, cat) that return non-zero on "no results", preventing
workflow step failures under strict execution models. Guard glob loops
with [ -e "$var" ] || continue to handle empty glob expansion.
2. Hook stdin handling: replace readFileSync('/dev/stdin') with async
process.stdin + timeout in agent templates (gsd-verifier.md). Existing
JS hooks already have timeout guards.
3. project_root detection: fix isInsideGitRepo() to check .git at the
candidate parent level (not just below it), enabling correct detection
when .git and .planning/ are siblings at the same directory level —
the common single-repo case from a subdirectory.
4. @file: handoff: add missing @file: handlers to autonomous.md and
manager.md workflows that call gsd-tools init but lacked the handler
for large output payloads.

Verification checked structure but not whether data actually flows

- Step 7b (Behavioral Spot-Checks): lightweight smoke tests that verify
runnable code produces expected output, not just that it exists
- Step 2.6 (Environment Audit): researcher probes target machine for
external tools/services/runtimes before planning, so plans include
fallback strategies for missing dependencies
Closes#1245

Enhanced gsd-verifier's anti-pattern detection to catch:
- Hardcoded empty data props (={[]}, ={{}}, ={null})
- 'not available' and 'not yet implemented' placeholder text
- Data stub classification guidance (only flag when value flows
to rendering without a data-fetching path)
Added stub tracking to gsd-executor's summary creation:
- Before writing SUMMARY, scan files for stub patterns
- Document stubs in a '## Known Stubs' section
- Block plan completion if stubs prevent the plan's goal
* fix: remove dangling skills: from agent frontmatter and strip in Gemini converter (closes#1023, closes#953, closes#930)

* fix: invert skills frontmatter test to assert absence (fixes CI)
The PR deliberately removed skills: from agent frontmatter (breaks
Gemini CLI), but the test still asserted its presence. Inverted the
assertion to ensure skills: stays removed.

Add skills: field to all 11 agent frontmatter files with forward-compatible
GSD workflow skill references (silently ignored until skill files are created).
Add commented hooks: examples to 9 file-writing agents showing PostToolUse
hook syntax for project-specific linting/formatting. Read-only agents
(plan-checker, integration-checker) skip hooks as they cannot modify files.
Per Claude Code docs: subagents don't inherit skills or hooks from the
parent conversation — they must be explicitly listed in frontmatter.

Claude Code subagents sometimes rewrite ~/. paths to relative paths,
causing MODULE_NOT_FOUND when CWD is the project directory. $HOME is a
shell variable resolved at runtime, immune to model path rewriting.

* fix: use `.claude/skills/` instead of `.agents/skills/` in agent and workflow skill references
Claude Code resolves project skills from `.claude/skills/` (project-level)
and `~/.claude/skills/` (user-level). The `.agents/skills/` path is the
universal/IDE-agnostic convention that Claude Code does not resolve, causing
project skills to be silently ignored by all affected agents and workflows.
Fixes#758

* fix: support both `.claude/skills/` and `.agents/skills/` for cross-IDE compatibility
Instead of replacing `.agents/skills/` with `.claude/skills/`, reference both
paths so GSD works with Claude Code (`.claude/skills/`) and other IDE agents
like OpenCode (`.agents/skills/`).
Addresses review feedback from begna112 on #758.

The verifier was the only agent missing the <project_context> section
that executor, planner, researcher, and plan-checker all have. This
aligns it with the existing pattern so project skills and CLAUDE.md
instructions are applied during verification and anti-pattern scanning.
Closes discussion from PR #723.

Tighten all requirements references to use MUST/REQUIRED/CRITICAL language
instead of passive suggestions. Close the verification loop by extracting
phase requirement IDs from ROADMAP and passing them through the full chain:
researcher receives IDs → planner writes to PLAN frontmatter → executor
copies to SUMMARY → verifier cross-references against REQUIREMENTS.md with
orphan detection.

Projects with "type": "module" in package.json cause Node to treat
gsd-tools.js as ESM, crashing on require(). The .cjs extension forces
CommonJS regardless of the host project's module configuration.

Agents (executor, verifier, planner) were writing markdown files via
Bash heredocs. When approved, Claude Code persisted the entire heredoc
as a permission entry, breaking settings.local.json on next launch.
Added explicit "use Write tool" directives to all three agents and
added missing Write tool to gsd-verifier's tool list.

The verifier was deriving verification truths from the vague one-line Goal
field, allowing partial implementations to pass. Now extracts Success Criteria
as a structured array from `roadmap get-phase` and uses them directly as truths,
with Goal derivation as fallback for older ROADMAPs without Success Criteria.

The verifier agent interpreted {phase} as the full directory slug
(e.g., 01-foundation-target-system) instead of just the padded phase
number (01), producing wrong filenames like
01-foundation-target-system-VERIFICATION.md.
Changed all {phase}-*.md references to {phase_num}-*.md to match the
convention used in gsd-tools.js (${padded}-VERIFICATION.md).
Files: VERIFICATION.md, RESEARCH.md, CONTEXT.md, UAT.md patterns.

* feat(gsd-tools): add frontmatter CRUD, verification suite, template fill, and state progression
Four new command groups that delegate deterministic operations from AI agents to code:
- frontmatter get/set/merge/validate: Safe YAML frontmatter manipulation with schema validation
- verify plan-structure/phase-completeness/references/commits/artifacts/key-links: Structural checks agents previously burned context on
- template fill summary/plan/verification: Pre-filled document skeletons so agents only fill creative content
- state advance-plan/record-metric/update-progress/add-decision/add-blocker/resolve-blocker/record-session: Automate arithmetic and formatting in STATE.md
Adds reconstructFrontmatter() + spliceFrontmatter() helpers for safe frontmatter roundtripping,
and parseMustHavesBlock() for 3-level YAML parsing of must_haves structures.
20 new functions, ~1037 new lines.

* feat: wire gsd-tools commands into agents and workflows
- gsd-verifier: use `verify artifacts` and `verify key-links` instead of
manual grep patterns for stub detection and wiring verification
- gsd-executor: use `state advance-plan`, `state update-progress`,
`state record-metric`, `state add-decision`, `state record-session`
instead of manual STATE.md manipulation
- gsd-plan-checker: use `verify plan-structure` and `frontmatter get`
for structural validation and must_haves extraction
- gsd-planner: add validation step using `frontmatter validate` and
`verify plan-structure` after writing PLAN.md
- execute-plan.md: use gsd-tools state commands for position/progress updates
- verify-phase.md: use gsd-tools for must_haves extraction and artifact/link verification
This makes the gsd-tools commands from PR #485 actually used by the system.

Step 0 now explicitly states to skip to Step 3 when in re-verification
mode. Steps 1-2 marked as "Initial Mode Only" to make flow clear.

When VERIFICATION.md already exists with gaps, verifier now:
- Loads previous must-haves instead of re-deriving
- Focuses deep verification on failed items
- Quick regression check on passed items
- Tracks re-verification metadata (gaps_closed, regressions)
Saves tokens by not starting from scratch after gap closure.

- Add verify_phase_goal step to execute-phase workflow
- Verifier outputs structured gaps: YAML for planner consumption
- Add --gaps flag to plan-phase for gap closure mode
- Route by verification status: passed, gaps_found, human_needed
- Gap closure creates sequential plans (04, 05...) from verification gaps
- User stays in control at each decision point

- gsd-verifier.md: dedicated verification subagent with all logic baked in
- Goal-backward verification: checks codebase, not SUMMARY claims
- Creates VERIFICATION.md, returns status to orchestrator
- execute-phase spawns gsd-verifier instead of general-purpose
