Surfaces gray areas and captures user decisions in CONTEXT.md before
planning, reducing hallucination risk for ambiguous quick tasks.
Composable with --full for discussion + plan-checking + verification.

* fix: change nyquist_validation default to true and harden absent-key skip conditions
new-project.md never wrote the key, so agents reading config directly
treated absent as falsy. Changed all agent skip conditions from "is false"
to "explicitly set to false; absent = enabled". Default changed from false
to true in core.cjs, config.cjs, and templates/config.json.

* fix: enforce VALIDATION.md creation with verification gate and Check 8e
Step 5.5 was narrative markdown that Claude skipped under context pressure.
Now MANDATORY with Write tool requirement and file-existence verification.
Step 7.5 gates planner spawn on VALIDATION.md presence. Check 8e blocks
Dimension 8 if file missing.

* feat: add W008/W009 health checks and addNyquistKey repair for Nyquist drift detection
W008 warns when workflow.nyquist_validation key is absent from config.json
(agents may skip validation). W009 warns when RESEARCH.md has Validation
Architecture section but no VALIDATION.md file exists. addNyquistKey repair
adds the missing key with default true value.

* feat: add /gsd:validate-phase command and gsd-nyquist-auditor agent
Retroactively applies Nyquist validation to already-executed phases.
Works mid-milestone and post-milestone. Detects existing test coverage,
maps gaps to phase requirements, writes missing tests, debugs failing
ones, and produces {phase}-VALIDATION.md from existing artifacts.
Handles three states: VALIDATION.md exists (audit + update), no
VALIDATION.md (reconstruct from PLAN.md + SUMMARY.md), phase not yet
executed (exit cleanly with guidance).

* feat: audit-milestone reports Nyquist compliance gaps across phases
Adds Nyquist coverage table to audit-milestone output when
workflow.nyquist_validation is true. Identifies phases missing
VALIDATION.md or with nyquist_compliant: false/partial.
Routes to /gsd:validate-phase for resolution. Updates USER-GUIDE
with retroactive validation documentation.

* refactor: compress Nyquist prompts to match GSD meta-prompt density conventions
Auditor agent: deleted philosophy section (35 lines), compressed execution
flow 60%, removed redundant constraints. Workflow: cut purpose bloat,
collapsed state narrative, compressed auditor spawn template. Command:
removed redundant process section. Plan-phase Steps 5.5/7.5: replaced
hedging language with directives. Audit-milestone Step 5.5: collapsed
sub-steps into inline instructions. Net: -376 lines.

Replace general-purpose workaround pattern with named subagent types:
- plan-phase: researcher and planner now spawn as gsd-phase-researcher/gsd-planner
- new-project: 4 researcher spawns now use gsd-project-researcher
- research-phase: researcher spawns now use gsd-phase-researcher
- quick: planner revision now uses gsd-planner
- diagnose-issues: debug agents now use gsd-debugger (matches template spec)
Removes 'First, read agent .md file' prompt prefix — named agent types
auto-load their .md file as system prompt, making the workaround redundant.
Preserves intentional general-purpose orchestrator spawns in discuss-phase
and plan-phase (auto-advance) where the agent runs an entire workflow.

Prevents re-asking questions already decided in earlier phases by reading
PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, STATE.md, and all prior CONTEXT.md files
before generating gray areas. Prior decisions annotate options and skip
already-decided areas.

Three files had hardcoded `.claude` paths that break OpenCode and
Gemini installations where the config directory is `.config/opencode`,
`.opencode`, or `.gemini` respectively.
Changes:
- hooks/gsd-check-update.js: add detectConfigDir() helper that checks
all runtime directories for get-shit-done/VERSION, falling back to
.claude. Used for cache dir, project VERSION, and global VERSION.
- commands/gsd/reapply-patches.md: detect runtime directory for both
global and local patch directories instead of hardcoding ~/.claude/
and ./.claude/
- workflows/update.md: detect runtime directory for local and global
VERSION/marker files, and clear cache across all runtime directories

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.

Add lightweight codebase scanning before gray area identification:
- New scout_codebase step checks for existing maps or does targeted grep
- Gray areas annotated with code context (existing components, patterns)
- Discussion options informed by what already exists in the codebase
- Context7 integration for library-specific questions
- CONTEXT.md template includes code_context section

DEBUGGER_MODEL and CHECKER_MODEL used uppercase bash convention but the
Task() calls referenced {debugger_model} and {integration_checker_model}
(lowercase). The mismatch caused Claude to skip substitution and fall back
to the parent session model, ignoring the configured GSD profile.

New command that generates unit and E2E tests for completed phases:
- Analyzes implementation files and classifies into TDD/E2E/Skip
- Enforces RED-GREEN gates for both unit and E2E tests
- Uses phase SUMMARY.md, CONTEXT.md, and VERIFICATION.md as test specs
- Presents test plan for user approval before generating
Test classification rules:
- TDD: pure functions where expect(fn(input)).toBe(output) is writable
- E2E: UI behavior verifiable by Playwright (keyboard, navigation, forms)
- Skip: styling, config, glue code, migrations, simple CRUD
Ref: Issue #302
Enables quality guarantees on quick tasks without full milestone ceremony.
--full spawns plan-checker (max 2 iterations) and post-execution verifier,
produces VERIFICATION.md, and adds Status column to STATE.md table.

Add optional phase archival to milestone completion and a standalone
/gsd:cleanup command for retroactive use. Phase dirs move to
.planning/milestones/v{X.Y}-phases/, reducing phases/ clutter after
multiple milestones.
Core changes:
- getArchivedPhaseDirs() and searchPhaseInDir() helpers in gsd-tools
- findPhaseInternal() searches archives when phase not found in current
- cmdPhasesList() accepts --include-archived flag
- cmdHistoryDigest() scans both current and archived phases
- cmdMilestoneComplete() accepts --archive-phases flag
- Workflow globs replaced with find-phase/phases-list CLI calls

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.

Typing /exec matched plan-phase instead of execute-phase because the
plan-phase description contained "execution plan".
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add opt-in mechanism to chain discuss → plan → execute automatically
via Task() subagents, eliminating manual /clear + paste overhead.
- Add `--auto` flag to discuss-phase and plan-phase commands
- Add `workflow.auto_advance` config toggle (default: false)
- Add auto_advance step to discuss-phase workflow (spawns plan-phase)
- Add step 14 to plan-phase workflow (spawns execute-phase)
- Add auto_advance toggle to /gsd:settings
Chain stops gracefully on INCONCLUSIVE, CHECKPOINT, or verification
failures. No work lost — artifacts persist at each step.

Hooks had hardcoded `.claude` paths that broke OpenCode users. The
installer now templates `.js` hooks with runtime-specific config dirs,
same as it already does for `.md` files. Also added `./.claude/`
replacement for local install paths in workflows.

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.

When users modify GSD workflow files (e.g., adding bug workarounds),
those changes get wiped on every /gsd:update. This adds automatic
backup and guided restore:
**install.js changes:**
- Writes `gsd-file-manifest.json` after install with SHA256 hashes
of every installed GSD file
- Before wiping on update, compares current files against manifest
to detect user modifications
- Backs up modified files to `gsd-local-patches/` directory
- Reports backed-up patches after install completes
**New command: /gsd:reapply-patches**
- LLM-guided merge of backed-up modifications into new version
- Handles cases where upstream also changed the same file
- Reports merge status per file (merged/skipped/conflict)
**update.md changes:**
- Warning text now mentions automatic backup instead of manual
- New step after install to check for and report backed-up patches
Flow: modify GSD file → /gsd:update → modifications auto-backed up →
new version installed → /gsd:reapply-patches → modifications merged back

Reverts af7a057 "feat: add GSD Memory cross-project knowledge system"
The memory system needs more work before shipping:
- Workflow integration is incomplete (writes but doesn't query)
- UX requires too much manual intervention
- Setup friction exceeds value for most users
Preserved on branch `memory-wip` for continued development.

set-profile and settings commands hard-errored when .planning/config.json
did not exist, blocking users from changing model profile before running
new-project. Create config.json with balanced defaults when missing.
Executor self-check after SUMMARY.md creation verifies key-files exist
on disk and commit hashes exist in git log. Orchestrator spot-checks
SUMMARY claims before trusting and proceeding to next wave. Segmented
execution (execute-plan.md) gets the same self-check inline.
Fixes#363
The update command was hardcoded to use --global flag, which would
convert a local installation to a global one during updates.
Changes:
- Detect install type by checking ./.claude/ first, then ~/.claude/
- Use --local flag when updating a local install
- Use --global flag when updating a global install
- Update cache cleanup path to match install location
- Clarify warning message paths to be relative to install location
- Add Character Preservation section to GSD-STYLE.md
- Clarify 'no special chars' applies to FILENAME only in add-todo
- Use 'box-drawing' terminology for tree structure visualization

CONTEXT.md from /gsd:discuss-phase now flows through entire pipeline:
- Loaded early in step 4, stored for all agent spawns
- Researcher: constrains research scope (locked decisions vs discretion)
- Planner: explicit guidance to honor locked decisions
- Checker: new Context Compliance dimension to verify plans respect user vision
- Revision: reminder to maintain context compliance during fixes
Adds Dimension 7 (Context Compliance) to gsd-plan-checker:
- Verifies locked decisions have implementing tasks
- Flags if tasks contradict locked decisions
- Flags if deferred ideas included in plans

Add configurable git branching with three strategies:
- none (default): commit to current branch
- phase: create branch per phase (gsd/phase-{N}-{slug})
- milestone: create branch per milestone (gsd/{version}-{slug})
Changes:
- planning-config.md: add git.branching_strategy and templates
- execute-phase.md: handle branch creation based on strategy
- settings.md: add branching strategy to settings UI
- complete-milestone.md: handle branch merging at milestone end
/gsd:update already shows changelog before updating, with cancel option.
Two commands for nearly the same purpose adds unnecessary cognitive load.

Custom subagents cannot access MCP tools due to Claude Code bug #13898.
This affects gsd-phase-researcher, gsd-project-researcher, and gsd-planner
which need Context7 for documentation lookups.
Fix: Switch to general-purpose agent (which has MCP access) and have it
read the agent instruction file as its first action. The specialized
behavior comes from the prompt, not the agent definition.
Closes#161
