ac6ed6201d fix(#4257): harvest only prose phase references; W002 names its workstream scope (#4486)
* test(#4257): W002 harvest precision + workstream-scoped warning regression rows

Tests-only RED commit: A-rows pin the command-mention/code-span harvest
precision on statePhaseTokens, B-rows drive W002 under root and workstream
scope (scope clause asserted, root grammar byte-identical), C-rows pin the
additive workstream snapshot field. All fail on next; fix follows.

* fix(#4257): harvest only prose phase references; W002 names its workstream scope

Sub-defect (a): the statePhaseTokens harvest was the verbatim #3309
relocation of verify.cts's unanchored, markdown-blind scan
([Pp]hase\s+(TOKEN) over the raw file), so GSD's own command names
(/gsd-execute-phase 5, bare or quoted) and any token inside a code
span/fenced block were harvested as phase references and fired W002 on
ledger rows. Now strips fenced blocks then inline spans via the canonical
markdown-sectionizer seam (#2365 composition order) and matches with a
left word boundary (?<![-\w]) so hyphen- or word-suffixed carriers are
mentions, not references. Pinned tradeoff: a genuine reference written
in backticks stops counting (a quoted literal is not a reference).

Sub-defect (b): the valid set is workstream-scoped by construction
(planningPaths under GSD_WORKSTREAM; per-workstream numbering is
deliberate), but the message claimed 'only phases 1, 2 are declared'
unqualified. New additive PlanningSnapshot.workstream field, sourced
from planning-workspace's new resolveEnvWorkstream() — the ONE env
discriminator planningDir itself applies — so the clause cannot disagree
with the base the reads used. Root scope keeps the byte-identical
message; the checker's scope is unchanged.

* test(#4257): close the B2 quoted-literal code span (fixture typo)

The B2 fixture wrote a single opening backtick — an unterminated span is
literal text per CommonMark, so its content is prose and W002 correctly
fired on it. The test's name, the A3 snapshot-level twin, and the B2
matrix row all intend a closed span; pre-fix this was indistinguishable
because the unanchored harvest fired either way.

e38d246015 fix(#4439): render pending-todo 'created' as date-only, matching [date] (#4494)
* test(#4439): failing-first regression coverage for pending-todo date rendering

renderPendingTodoBullet currently echoes the todo's `created` frontmatter
verbatim into the rendered bullet's [date] bracket, so a full ISO-8601
timestamp (the actual stored shape, per add-todo.md's create_file step)
leaks through instead of the date-only format documented in
docs/reference/state-md.md and docs/COMMANDS.md. This commit adds the
regression coverage only; the renderer fix lands in the next commit.

* fix(#4439): render pending-todo 'created' as date-only, matching [date]

renderPendingTodoBullet echoed the todo's created frontmatter verbatim
into the rendered STATE.md bullet. That value is always a full
ISO-8601 timestamp by design (add-todo.md's create_file step writes
init.todos' timestamp field), but docs/reference/state-md.md and
docs/COMMANDS.md document the bullet as `- [date] ...` — a short
calendar date. Added pendingTodoDateOnly(), a pure display-only
formatter: a value starting with a well-formed YYYY-MM-DD is shortened
to just that; anything else ('unknown', a malformed string) passes
through unchanged. The stored frontmatter and the JSON todos[].created
field are untouched.

* test(#4439): cover a non-4-digit-year near-miss for the date-only formatter

Standards review flagged a gap: the malformed-date coverage exercised
a non-padded month/day but not a non-4-digit year, the other way the
input can look almost-but-not-quite like YYYY-MM-DD. Same pass-through
code path as the existing malformed-date test; no behavior change.

8b7a0b696b enhance(#4139): Phase 2 — one shared gate, one pilot split, one accuracy spot-check (#4471)
* enhance(#4402): split plan-phase into a spine + detail, add the shared compact-content gate

ADR-4139 Decisions 3-5, Phase 2 of the #4139 Compact Content epic. Pilot
split for plan-phase.md, the largest of the 58 eagerly-@-included workflow
files (98,290 bytes): the spine keeps every happy-path step, every
protected-content block (planner/checker prompt templates, quality gates,
the failing-direction few-shot example, the two ScheduleWakeup guardrail
paragraphs — each marked with a <!-- gsd:protected --> sentinel), and
condensed one-paragraph summaries of five rare/opt-in fallback paths
(planner and checker filesystem-hang recovery, phase-split recommendation,
source-audit gaps, the thinking-partner conditional, and plan bounce). The
full text of those five moves verbatim to gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/detail.md
(9.9KB, well under the 32,768-byte NEW_FILE_CAP), read by the spine only
when workflow.compact_content is false (the default) — the exact same
resolution rule now stated once in the new shared
gsd-core/references/compact-content-gate.md, which every future split
references instead of restating.

Verified mechanically (tests/plan-phase-compact-split.test.cjs, scoped to
this one split — Phase 3/#4403 owns the generalized guard): the union of
spine + detail contains every non-trivial line the parent commit carried
(0 missing), no non-trivial line is duplicated between them (0 duplicated),
and every declared protected block is well-formed and non-empty. The spine
shrinks from 98,290 to 93,206 bytes (-5.2% of the eager-window cost this
epic exists to reduce); detail.md's 9,853 bytes are only ever paid by a
project that has NOT opted in.

Verified live, end to end, twice, against this actual repo (not a
synthetic fixture) — real gsd-planner and gsd-plan-checker subagent
spawns, real PLAN.md output:
- workflow.compact_content=false: planned a real disposable phase
  (a docs/how-to page for enabling the key itself); planner returned
  PLANNING COMPLETE, checker returned VERIFICATION PASSED, all fact-checks
  against real repo state confirmed.
- workflow.compact_content=true (detail.md never read): planned a second
  real disposable phase; planner returned PLANNING COMPLETE with
  frontmatter.validate and verify.plan-structure both clean, again fully
  grounded against real repo state. The five condensed fallback sections
  were independently re-read spine-only and confirmed sufficient to act on
  correctly without detail.md's elaboration.

Also drafts gsd-core/references/compact-content-protected-content.md — the
protected-content category list and <!-- gsd:protected --> sentinel syntax
ADR-4139 Decision 5 calls for, written to move to Phase 3 (#4403) unchanged
once it lands there.

* fix(#4402): move detail.md into the ADR-4139-mandated detail/ subdirectory

Two independent review sub-agents (Standards and Spec axes of /code-review)
caught the same structural defect: ADR-4139 Decision 6 mandates
gsd-core/workflows/<name>/detail/*.md ("one or more parts... individually
skippable"), and this PR had shipped a flat plan-phase/detail.md instead,
copying issue #4402's own (inconsistent) restatement rather than the
locked ADR text. Fixed by git-mv to plan-phase/detail/elaboration.md and
updating every cross-reference (the spine's step 0.5 gate pointer, the
shared compact-content-gate.md's own resolution-rule wording, and the
completeness test's path constants).

Also, from the same review pass:
- docs/CONFIGURATION.md and gsd-core/references/planning-config.md's
  workflow.compact_content rows said "nothing branches on it yet" — no
  longer true now that plan-phase.md's spine does. Updated both to name
  plan-phase as the pilot and note the rest of the corpus is still pending.
- Regenerated all 19 tests/fixtures/install-tree/*.json golden fixtures
  (npm run gen:install-tree) — the three new shipped files were missing
  from the installer emitted-tree goldens.
- Found via a cache-busted `eslint . --max-warnings 0` (this repo's
  eslint --cache has produced false-greens before): the split test's
  `git show` call had a bare `timeout: 10000` literal, tripping
  local/no-adhoc-timeout-literal. Extracted to the existing GIT_TIMEOUT_MS
  constant from tests/helpers/timeouts.cjs instead of a second guessed
  copy of the same class of timeout.

Verified NOT needed, by tracing the actual mechanism rather than asserting
(tests/helpers/emitted-provenance.cjs's gsd-core-verbatim rule attributes
every gsd-core/{workflows,references}/** path to itself as an identity
source): an Emitted-Drift-Ack-Hash/-Growth trailer. Every changed/added
path in this diff is hand-authored and present in the diff itself, so
diffEmitted's attribution loop resolves `via` to the path's own source
before ever reaching the ack-lookup branch — there is no unattributed
delta to acknowledge. The spine also shrank (98,290 to 93,206 bytes), so
the growth ratchet has nothing to ack either.

Re-verified after these changes: the completeness/disjointness self-check
(0 missing, 0 duplicated) still holds against the relocated detail file,
and a full `npm run lint:ci` passes clean with the eslint cache cleared.

* fix(#4402): restore literal content the pre-existing drift guards pin on

The first gsd-test run against this split (19 failures) surfaced real
regressions: several pre-existing structural guards pin the EXACT text
of the sections this split condensed, and paraphrasing broke them.

- tests/plan-phase-drift-guard.test.cjs expects the literal
  `DISK_PLANS=$(gsd_run query find-phase ...)` bash assignment inside
  plan-phase.md itself, not a prose description of the same check.
  Restored the exact line into both §9a and §11a's spine summaries.
- tests/thinking-partner.test.cjs expects plan-phase.md to literally
  offer "No, I'll decide" as the skip option. Restored that exact
  phrase into the condensed thinking-partner paragraph.
- Both restores would have duplicated the same text into
  plan-phase/detail/elaboration.md (which still carries the full
  elaboration). Removed the now-redundant restatements from the
  detail file instead of leaving them duplicated — the spine already
  computes DISK_PLANS before the detail elaboration is ever read, so
  the detail file references it rather than recomputing it.
- Re-running scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs after that edit found
  the canonical gsd_run preamble had also become an unintentional
  spine/detail duplicate (both files call gsd_run and each is
  required, by runtime-launcher-parity's own contract, to carry its
  own copy). That's sanctioned duplication under a DIFFERENT
  contract, not lost/copy-pasted content, so
  tests/plan-phase-compact-split.test.cjs now excludes it from the
  disjointness check the same way it already excludes trivial
  fences/headings.
- Applied the adversarial-review finding on tests/plan-phase-compact-split.test.cjs's
  own isTrivial(): a blanket `line.length <= 15` cutoff silently
  swallowed real content (e.g. the 14-char `<quality_gate>`
  sentinel). Replaced it with a specific bare-label-line pattern
  (`Options:`, `Display banner:` etc.) — verified 0 missing / 0
  duplicated against the actual split, an improvement over both the
  original cutoff and a naive full removal (which produces
  false-positive "duplicates" on generic recurring labels).
- gsd-core/references/planning-config.md's own workflow.compact_content
  row used `/gsd-plan-phase` (hyphen). That file is Claude-facing
  source text (gsd-core/references/), which tests/slash-command-namespace.test.cjs
  requires in colon form; docs/CONFIGURATION.md's use of the hyphen
  form is correct as-is since docs/ is human-facing and outside that
  test's scanned directories. Fixed to `/gsd:plan-phase`.
- tests/plan-phase-compact-split.test.cjs's own `git show` of the
  parent commit failed inside the gsd-test sandbox ("detected dubious
  ownership") because the checkout is mounted under a UID the
  invoking user doesn't own. Scoped `-c safe.directory=<repo-root>`
  to that one git invocation rather than touching global git config.
- docs/INVENTORY.md still had one outstanding "detail.md part" wording
  fix from the earlier adversarial-review pass, staged now.

Re-verified locally against the exact assertions in all four affected
test files (all pass) before dispatching a fresh gsd-test run — no
change here should have broken any of the other 18 gates; `npm run
lint` is clean with the eslint cache cleared.

* fix(#4402): restore the full marker enumeration to §9a's spine trigger line

The isolated Spec-axis review flagged that §9a's "Triggered when" line was
condensed to "Agent() returns but the return contains no recognized
marker" — dropping the literal `## PLANNING COMPLETE` / `## PHASE SPLIT
RECOMMENDED` / `## ⚠ Source Audit` / `## CHECKPOINT REACHED` /
`## PLANNING INCONCLUSIVE` enumeration, which is exactly the "machine-
parsed structural headings" category compact-content-protected-content.md
lists as protected. The load-bearing use of that same list (the
gsd_stall_watch call and the Handle Planner Return bullets a few lines
above) was never touched — only this one descriptive restatement was
genericized — but leaving any instance of a protected category
unsentineled is the silent erosion ADR-4139 Decision 4(c) warns
sufficiency isn't machine-checkable enough to catch on its own. Restored
the full enumeration into the spine.

That reintroduced an exact duplicate into plan-phase/detail/elaboration.md,
which still stated the same trigger sentence verbatim. Reworded the
detail file's version to reference the spine's trigger condition instead
of restating it, since the spine is now the single place that sentence
lives in full — mirroring the DISK_PLANS/"already computed above" pattern
from the previous commit.

Re-verified locally: completeness/disjointness (0 missing, 0 duplicated)
and all previously-fixed literal-content assertions still hold.

93abf3a7b6 fix(#4276): read the quoting, not just the digits, before eating an IO number (#4420)
POSIX recognizes an IO number only when the digit run is unquoted, but
tokenize()'s redirection branch tested `cur` — the token's characters — and
never `curMask`, their quoting. `"2"` and `2` were indistinguishable to it,
so a correct `gsd_run query commit ... --files "2">out` had its value
consumed as an IO number and scored as an unscoped invocation: the #2269
guard reddening on documentation that was right.

The mask was already maintained in the same loop and thrown away on this
branch. One conjunct reads it: '0' marks a bare character, so /^0+$/ asks
precisely whether every character of the digit run was unquoted.

The regression arms come in both directions. The quoted rows (glued,
detached, single-quoted, and the partially-quoted 2"3" that a
some-character-unquoted test would get wrong) must be scoped; the existing
unquoted `--files 2>&1` row is the negative control and must stay unscoped,
so an implementation that simply stopped consuming IO numbers altogether
fails instead of passing.

No live instance exists in any of the six scan roots, so this is latent
rather than urgent — a false positive, never a silent miss.

476394689a fix(#4254): pin sequential executor to the orchestrator's validated root (#4476)
* test(#4254): sequential executor root pin — failing-first regression + matrix

The new suite executes the shipped supplied-root-pin guard against real git
fixtures (drifted primary-checkout cwd halts before the write and the FATAL
names both roots; matching cwd permits it; unexpanded/empty pins halt;
normalization forms; submodule and sibling boundaries; metacharacter quoting;
drive-letter form gate) and locks the dispatch contract across execute-phase.md,
its sequential-root-pin step fragment, and worktree-path-safety.md. The #2772
per-plan serialization assertion retargets to the fragment that now carries
those rules (ADR-857 Phase 6 ceiling), plus the host-step wiring.

* fix(#4254): pin sequential executor to the orchestrator's validated root

Sequential-mode dispatch told the executor to self-derive PROJECT_ROOT from its
own cwd; every existing guard is worktree-mode-only or self-referential, so an
executor spawned with a drifted cwd committed onto the wrong checkout silently.

- worktree-path-safety.md step 0p: mode-agnostic supplied-root pin guard,
  composed by the orchestrator at build time with the literal $ORCHESTRATOR_WT
  (git-vs-git comparison on both sides — representation-safe on Windows, the
  #4296 lesson), fail-closed on empty/unexpanded pins, registered-submodule
  allowance, warn-and-proceed only when the dispatch carries no pin block.
- execute-phase.md sequential branch: build-time embed of the bound
  <project_root_pin> via the new execute-phase/steps/sequential-root-pin.md
  fragment (ADR-857 Phase 6 frozen ceiling — the host step cannot grow; the
  wave serialization rules move with the fragment, verbatim in substance) plus
  the per-write/commit pin instruction in <sequential_execution>. Worktree-mode
  dispatch untouched (its self-derived toplevel IS correct there).
- INVENTORY rows (5 locales) + INVENTORY-MANIFEST + install-tree goldens
  regenerated for the new fragment; changeset added.

* chore(#4254): backfill changeset PR number

* fix(#4254): accept backslash-separated Windows drive pins

CI on windows-latest showed every permit-path test failing with
"Actual root: <none>": pins composed from Node's path.join arrive in the
backslash drive form (C:\Users\RUNNER~1\...), which the guard's absolute-form
gate rejected before the cwd-side root was ever computed — a legitimate
matching pin could never pass. The gate now accepts either separator
([A-Za-z]:[\\/]); git -C resolves both forms (and 8.3 short names) to the
same canonical toplevel, so the git-vs-git comparison is unaffected. Form-gate
tests cover the emitted (C:/…) and produced (C:\…) spellings plus short names.

* fix(#4254): portable drive-form gate for MSYS bash

The bracket class [\\/] that accepted backslash drive pins parses
inconsistently on MSYS bash (the Windows CI leg still rejected C:\ pins —
every permit-path test red with "Actual root: <none>"). Replace it with
standard pattern escaping outside brackets: [A-Za-z]:/*|[A-Za-z]:\\* —
the escape form is version- and build-portable. Verified across all forms:
both drive spellings accepted; bare "C:", relative, empty, and unexpanded
rejected.

* fix(#4254): runtime-generated backslash comparator + self-describing FATAL

The Windows CI legs failed every #4254 permit-path row with
'Actual root: <none>' across two prior pattern spellings ([\\/] and \\*).
Stage misattribution: <none> appears whenever the FATAL fires BEFORE the
cwd-side capture assigns ACTUAL_ROOT — the absolute-form gate was what fired.

Mechanism: the test harness spawns bash -c <script> through the Windows
command-line boundary; that round-trip applies one extra shell-quoting pass
with double-quote semantics — a backslash written twice in the script text
arrives halved, while a lone backslash survives (the pin displays intact;
row 9's pure-bash gate independently showed the halved pattern rejecting
C:\ while C:/ still passed its surviving arm). On windows-latest every pin
carries backslashes (os.tmpdir() is the 8.3 short form C:\Users\RUNNER~1\...),
so the gate ate every pin before the actual root was ever computed.

Fix, robust by construction:
- the drive-form gate generates its backslash comparator at RUNTIME
  (BS=$(printf '\134'); match [A-Za-z]:"$BS"*) — the shipped guard now
  contains no doubled backslash anywhere, enforced by a regression
  assertion on the extracted guard text;
- the FATAL self-describes: Guard stage (pin-unbound / form-gate /
  actual-capture / pinned-capture / root-mismatch) plus a Diagnostic line
  carrying git's own stderr for capture failures and both compared values
  for mismatches — future platform failures name their stage in the log;
- row 9's hand-rolled duplicate case gate (transit-fragile copy, #4296
  Minor 1 duplication smell) is replaced by driving the SHIPPED guard and
  asserting the stage; rows 2/4 pin the new stage machinery.

Validated on darwin across drift/match/relative/unbound/empty/bare-drive/
forward-and-backslash drive forms, each also re-run under a simulated
Windows transit (every doubled backslash halved) with identical outcomes.

* fix(#4254): close the empty-comparator fail-open seam in the drive-form gate

Self-review of the runtime-generated backslash comparator: if printf's
octal escape ever returned empty, the drive arm [A-Za-z]:"$BS"* would
widen to drive-RELATIVE pins (C:foo) — the construction's one theoretical
fail-open path. Fail closed with a self-describing diagnostic instead of
trusting the shell's printf.

2388e6ab34 fix(#4342): run the bug-167 routing test in a fixture project, not the developer's (#4387)
The test called runGsdTools with its default cwd — the test process's own
working directory — and an inherited HOME, so the child read the checkout's
real .planning/ and the developer's real ~/.gsd/defaults.json. testEnvBase()
blanks the config-LOCATION env keys but sandboxes neither cwd nor HOME.

On a checkout that has workstreams with no active pointer, `init.progress`
exits non-zero and the FIRST assertion fails, so the routing comparison the
test exists for was never evaluated:

  init.progress failed: Error: init.progress requires a workstream in
  workstream mode — no active workstream is set ... Available workstreams: alpha

Reproduced byte-for-byte by adding .planning/workstreams/alpha/ to the
checkout: red on next, green here.

The invariant under test — `query <cmd>` and `<cmd>` returning identical
payloads — is independent of project state, so a plain createTempProject()
fixture is enough, with HOME/USERPROFILE pointed at it (the idiom runGsdTools's
own doc comment prescribes).

Two assertions pin the sandbox deterministically rather than conditionally:
the fixture HAS a .planning/ and the repo checkout does not, so dropping the
cwd override fails on every lane — CI included, where the ambient state that
exposed the bug is absent.

ae40529d31 chore(#4394): lint allowed-tools parity — Bash without Grep (#4431)
gen-plugin-skills.cjs --check already guarantees skills/*/SKILL.md matches
what commands/gsd/*.md generates, so the two trees cannot silently diverge
FROM EACH OTHER. Nothing guarded the shape #3085 actually found: a command
shipping Bash without Grep purely by omission, identical in both trees and
therefore invisible to a parity check that only compares them to each other.
That drift ran until 29 of 71 skills lacked a tool most of their siblings
declared, and a manual audit — not a gate — is what surfaced it.

Detection only: the lint never edits a command's allowed-tools.

Two failure classes, not one. Violations are the rule itself. Stale
exemptions are the other half: an entry whose command is gone, or which no
longer declares Bash without Grep, fails just as loudly. An exemption list
that can only grow becomes a list of things nobody re-examined, and a
pre-forgiven command silently absorbs the next omission.

That check earned its keep immediately. #4394 named eight exemptions from the
#3085 review — the six ns-* dispatchers, help, and surface — and seven of
them do not declare Bash at all, so the rule never reaches them. Listing them
would have pre-forgiven seven commands for a condition none of them has. Only
surface needs an entry.

The tests drive synthetic fixtures rather than the live corpus: asserting
"the real tree is clean" would say nothing about whether the rule can detect
anything, which is the exact failure mode this lint exists to close. The one
live-corpus arm asserts no stale exemptions — a property of this script's own
list — and deliberately does not pin a violation count, which would make it a
baseline every fix has to update.

6ebe6372ce fix(#4243): anchor stateReplaceProgressPercent bold form to line start (#4474)
* fix(#4243): anchor stateReplaceProgressPercent bold form to line start

The bold branch of stateReplaceProgressPercent carried no ^ and no /m flag,
so a bold percent-ish label quoted MID-SENTENCE inside prose — an
Accumulated Context bullet mentioning **Progress:** — captured the
machine-segment rewrite and destroyed the rest of its line, silently, while
the real Progress line stayed stale (and the frontmatter moved on without
it, breaking the #4213 surfaces-agree contract). Every caller
(cmdStateUpdateProgress, syncCore's percent arm, applyPostSyncPreservation)
feeds the whole document, so all three were exposed.

Anchored to ^([ \t]*\*\*Progress:\*\*[ \t]*)([^\r\n]*)$ with /im — the
exact idiom #4453 applied to stateReplaceField's bold branch (same-line
confinement per #4010: the leading class is [ \t]*, deliberately not \s*,
which can consume the newlines before the label into the match; $ is
explicit-and-inert and documents end-of-line).

#2177's recorded requirements all stand: frontmatter is stripped before
matching, the suffix-preserving machine-segment swap is untouched, and
bold-beats-plain priority now governs line-start forms, so an earlier
free-text plain Progress: line still cannot capture the rewrite ahead of the
real bold status line. Per the maintainer ruling (2026-09-07), #2177's
incidental bold-anywhere matching was not load-bearing.

33e393ba4c fix(#4243): anchor stateReplaceField bold form; pin frontmatter round-trip (#4453)
* test(#4243): failing-first regressions for bold-field anchoring and frontmatter round-trip

* fix(#4243): anchor stateReplaceField bold form to line start

The bold branch of stateReplaceField carried no ^ and no /m flag, so a bold
label quoted mid-sentence inside prose — the issue's **Status:** inside an
Accumulated Context bullet — captured the rewrite and destroyed the rest of
its line, silently, whenever a whole-body caller fed the function every
section (beginPhaseCore's tryField, advancePlanCore's Status/Current Plan
writes). The plain branch was always line-anchored; only the bold branch
lagged.

Anchored to ^([ \t]*\*\*Field:\*\*[ \t]*) with /im, reusing #4010's
same-line confinement idiom for the leading class (deliberately not the
issue's suggested ^\s* — it can consume the newlines before the label into
the match) and #4186's recognition-by-anchoring discipline. Frontmatter
half of the issue (unknown-key drops, invented milestone defaults) is
already fixed on next by #2202/#3216/#4129; pinned here with the issue's
requested regression fixtures.

* test(#4243): pin survival contract, not derived percent, in frontmatter rows

Bench RED run caught two assertion defects in the pin rows: the unknown
progress subkey re-parses as a quoted scalar ('77' vs 77), and percent is a
declared derived subkey - omitted under the #3573 no-roadmap withhold,
recomputed when measured (#4129) - so pinning its value over-pins derived
semantics. The rows now pin what the issue demands: unknown/custom keys
survive, stored counters are kept under the withhold, milestone identity is
never reset to invented defaults.

8c8eda46b0 fix(#4225): scope the sibling-worktree phase-number horizon to the active workstream (#4450)
* test(#4225): failing-first matrix for phase.add --ws workstream-scoped numbering

Nine rows driven through the real CLI: the issue's verbatim topology
(root roadmap @39 committed, workstream @2, sibling git worktree carrying
the root roadmap), same-workstream sibling boundary, empty-workstream
first phase, coincidental root-maximum, no---ws control (the #3849
global horizon, byte-for-byte), cross-workstream isolation, sibling
lacking the workstream (fail open), add-batch parity, and a
next-decimal control. Rows 1/2/3/6/7/8 are RED on next @38e4ce5f62
(numbering computed from the sibling ROOT roadmaps: 40 instead of 3).

* fix(#4225): scope the #3849 sibling-worktree widening horizon to the active workstream

collectSiblingWorktreePhaseNums scanned each sibling git worktree's ROOT
.planning/ (phases/ dirs + ROADMAP.md headers) unconditionally. Under
--ws (GSD_WORKSTREAM), every local number source flows through
planningDir(cwd) and lands in the workstream scope, but the widening
horizon still merged the siblings' ROOT-roadmap numbers into it — so
phase.add --ws in a workstream at Phase 2 inside a project whose root
roadmap sits at Phase 39 minted Phase 40 (directory 40-<slug>, and a
Depends on: Phase 39 that does not exist in the workstream's numbering
universe).

The horizon now resolves each sibling's planning dir through the SAME
canonical resolver, planningDir(wt, ws), with the env workstream read
once via planningDir's own discriminator: a workstream-scoped allocation
scans the sibling's copy of the SAME workstream (a number taken by that
workstream on another branch is still taken — the #3849 widening
survives, scoped), and never the sibling's root roadmap or another
workstream's. No workstream active: ws is null and the root-scope
horizon is byte-for-byte the #3849 behavior. A sibling lacking the
workstream directory contributes nothing (fail open, unchanged).

phase.add and phase.add-batch share the helper; both scopes of both
verbs are covered by the matrix in the previous commit. Output shape
and the publishStateContract boundary are untouched — only the number
changes.

ef30e59860 fix(#4448): stop io.test.cjs's in-process runMain calls from corrupting node:test's own fd-1 IPC (#4452)
tests/io.test.cjs's "review fix: pending-outcome cell lifetime" describe
block deliberately drives runMain()/output() in-process (needed to observe
a cross-invocation state leak) instead of via a subprocess. output() ends
with a raw synchronous fs.writeSync(1, ...) to the real stdout fd, and
Node's --test-isolation=process (default since Node 22) uses that same fd
for the file's own parent-child reporter protocol. The two writes racing
produced an intermittent "Unable to deserialize cloned data" that killed
the whole file — observed twice on next's macOS lane, most recently on the
commit that merged PR #4428 (unrelated to that PR's content; io.test.cjs
isn't part of its diff).

Empirically validated locally (gsd-test can't reach macOS): built a repro
loop running N parallel copies of `node --test tests/io.test.cjs` to
recreate CI-like contention. Baseline: ~13-17% of runs hit the corruption
(12/90, 15/90 across two samples). A first fix attempt wrapped the writes
in captureFdAsync (an await-aware twin of the existing captureFdSync,
added because runMain() defers main() through a microtask chain, so a
synchronous wrap restores before the real write fires) — but captureFdAsync
always forwards to the real fs.writeSync by design (matching captureFdSync's
"never swallow" contract, tests/helpers.cjs, #4306). Re-ran the same loop
against that fix: 15/90, statistically unchanged. Forwarding the write
doesn't stop it from reaching the fd node:test's own IPC also uses.

Replaced it with suppressFdAsync: a narrow, deliberate exception to the
never-swallow contract for a window the caller has verified is fully
controlled (a single runMain() call plus its promise-chain settling,
where nothing else can legitimately need that fd). It records the bytes
for the test's own assertions but never lets them reach the real fd.
Re-ran the loop: 0/300 across three samples (90+120+90), including one
round at 8-way parallelism. Also caught and fixed a real bug surfaced by
the same loop: the new regression assertion checked for compact-JSON
`"error":"x"` but output() pretty-prints, so it failed 100% of runs
deterministically until fixed to parse and check the structured value
instead (io.test.cjs, matching this repo's "assert on structured output,
not raw text" convention).

e54d3aa159 enhance(#4401): register workflow.compact_content as a validated config key (#4441)
* feat(#4401): register workflow.compact_content as a validated config key

- Add compact_content: false to the nested workflow object in
  gsd-core/bin/shared/config-defaults.manifest.json
- Add 'workflow.compact_content': false to SCHEMA_DEFAULTS in src/config.cts
  so an absent key resolves to false via config-get --raw
- validKeys entry in config-schema.manifest.json already present

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(#4401): behavioral and boundary tests for workflow.compact_content

- 19 behavioral tests covering config-set/config-get round trip, invalid-shape
  rejection (banana, 42, empty string), the corrected null-unset semantics
  (#2046), absent-key resolution against config-defaults.manifest.json,
  config-new-project wiring, and doc-row shape assertions
- Drops the install-tree fixture-parity block (and its docstring item) that
  asserted gsd-core/references/compact-content-gate.md and
  gsd-core/workflows/compact/map-codebase.md fixture entries — those paths
  belong to #4402 and do not exist on this filtered branch

* fix(#4401): derive workflow.compact_content default from CONFIG_DEFAULTS

SCHEMA_DEFAULTS['workflow.compact_content'] hardcoded the literal false
instead of deriving it from CONFIG_DEFAULTS the way 3 of its 8 sibling
entries do (smart_zone_tokens, pr_strict, inline_plan_threshold), leaving
a single-source-of-truth drift risk: a future manifest-only edit to the
default could silently diverge from this literal, only caught later by
the D-03 test if it ever happened to manifest.

Adds compact_content to CONFIG_DEFAULTS in src/config-loader.cts and
derives SCHEMA_DEFAULTS from it in src/config.cts, matching the majority
sibling pattern. Found during maintainer review (review-open-prs) of
this PR.

* fix(#4401): map compact_content in config-field-docs NAMESPACE_MAP

The previous commit added compact_content to CONFIG_DEFAULTS in
src/config-loader.cts but missed the matching entry in
tests/config-field-docs.test.cjs's NAMESPACE_MAP, which maps flat
CONFIG_DEFAULTS keys to their namespaced doc form before checking
gsd-core/references/planning-config.md for a match. Without it, the
test looked for a bare `compact_content` doc reference instead of the
actual `workflow.compact_content` row, and failed:
"CONFIG_DEFAULTS keys missing from planning-config.md: compact_content".

Found by actually running gsd-test against the branch rather than
trusting the plausible-looking fix.

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

* test(#4401): register compact-content-4139 test in the docs-guard lane

tests/compact-content-4139.test.cjs's D-06 tests read docs/CONFIGURATION.md
directly (fs.readFileSync) to assert the workflow.compact_content doc row's
shape, which makes it a doc-reading test file under the #3753 docs-guard
lane. It was never added to scripts/docs-guard-registry.cjs's
DOCS_GUARD_TESTS map and carries no docs-guard-exempt marker, so
tests/ci-docs-guard-registry.test.cjs's registration lint correctly failed:
"compact-content-4139.test.cjs reads a docs/ path but is not registered in
the docs-guard lane and carries no docs-guard-exempt marker".

Registers it with ['docs/CONFIGURATION.md'] (the only real docs/-prefixed
path it reads; gsd-core/references/planning-config.md is outside this
registry's docs/ scope, matching the sibling config-field-docs.test.cjs
entry's existing convention).

Found by actually running gsd-test against the branch — this gap predates
the maintainer's config-loader.cts fix and was already present in the
original PR.

19b66c3ec8 fix(#4218): stop the orchestrator steering an executor that is still working (#4391)
* fix(#4218): stop the orchestrator steering an executor that is still working

An executor with recent RED/GREEN/REFACTOR commits and passing verification had
not yet written its SUMMARY because it was finishing closeout. The parent saw no
local OS test/build process, inferred an "idle tail", and sent "Finalize
immediately" into a working child; in CLI runs the same inference interrupted an
executor before GREEN, leaving a RED commit and an uncommitted edit.

The stall block said only "if no completion signal, no SUMMARY.md, and no
expected-branch commits appear for N minutes" — it never said what to do when
commits DO exist and only the SUMMARY is outstanding, never defined the
threshold as a period without progress rather than a total runtime, and never
ruled out a process listing as an idleness signal. Four rules close that:

- the threshold measures a period WITHOUT MEANINGFUL PROGRESS, from the last
  sign of progress, not from dispatch — a long verification tail is not a stall;
- commits + missing SUMMARY + recent activity resolves to KEEP WAITING, with
  steering, interrupting and re-dispatching each named and forbidden;
- urgency/finalization messages ("Finalize immediately" and family) are
  forbidden outright — they arrive mid-verification and truncate a correct run.
  The existing user-facing pause is the only sanctioned stop, and `kill and
  retry` is a clean restart, not a nudge;
- the absence of a local OS test/build process is NOT idleness: a native
  subagent runs in the runtime's own session, and an executor between two tool
  calls shows no process at all. Progress is judged only by the signals this
  workflow names.

Five prose-contract assertions in tests/execute-phase-wave.test.cjs, all red on
next.

* fix(#4218): extract the progress policy to a step fragment

CI's #1168 gate caught it: execute-phase.md sits 77 bytes under a frozen 93600
ceiling and the four rules added ~2.3 KB. "Extract, not bump" is the repo's
stated remedy, and this workflow already carries policy detail that way.

execute-phase/steps/executor-progress-policy.md owns the policy. The
worktree-recovery arm moved with it — `kill and switch to inline execution`
qualifies the stop this policy governs, so it belongs beside the rule about when
stopping is sanctioned at all, not stranded in the host. The #3212 recovery
OPTIONS stay in the host, where tests/config.test.cjs pins them.

The host keeps what must be read before the orchestrator acts: the verdict, the
threshold definition, and a pointer that fires before any message is sent to the
child. execute-phase.md is now 93475 bytes — 48 SMALLER than next.

* chore: add changeset for #4218

* chore(#4218): regenerate the inventory manifest for the new step fragment

docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json is the authoritative per-file list behind
INVENTORY.md's `<workflow>/steps/*.md` row, so a new fragment has to appear
there or gen-inventory-manifest --check reds the lint-tests lane.

* chore(#4218): restore the issue ref on the allow-test-rule marker

ADR-456 requires a #NNN on a new exemption; the block rewrite that moved the
policy into the fragment dropped it.

* chore(#4218): regenerate the install-tree fixtures for the new step fragment

The fragment ships with the workflow, so every runtime's golden install tree
gains one path — gen:install-tree is the generator that owns those fixtures.

1c0acb2359 feat(#4422): block merging into next/main while the base branch's Tests run is red (#4428)
* feat(#4422): block merging into next/main while the base branch's Tests run is red

Adds a next-health job to test.yml that checks the base branch's own last
push-triggered Tests run via the GitHub API and fails the existing "Required
tests" required check when it's red, with a maintainer-applied "fix-next"
label as the explicit escape hatch for the fix-forward PR itself. No
branch-protection config change needed — it rides the already-required
check. The job is deliberately not gated behind preflight, same reasoning
as the changes job: a compute-free API read has nothing to save by waiting.

Documents the fix-next label in CONTRIBUTING.md and adds a property test
locking the CLEAN/RED/INDETERMINATE classification's iff-relationship.

This closes the second half of the 2026-09-06 RCA: three unrelated PRs
merged on top of an already-broken next before anyone noticed it was red.

* fix: close two zero-margin CI timing gaps found while verifying #4422

Discovered while watching this branch's own CI, root-caused via /diagnose
rather than dismissed as Windows flakiness:

1. tests/gsd-check-update-worker-atomic-cache.test.cjs's outer timeout
   (15000ms) exactly matched the inner npm-view timeout the worker wraps
   (NPM_VIEW_TIMEOUT_MS, gsd-core/bin/check-latest-version.cjs). A slow
   registry response raced two SIGKILLs at the same instant, killing the
   worker before it could catch its own timeout and degrade gracefully.
   Windows's shell-wrapped npm subprocess made the race lose more often
   there, but the zero margin was platform-agnostic. Fixed by giving the
   test real headroom (+10s) beyond the named constant it wraps, plus an
   invariant test so the two values can't silently collide again.

2. scripts/run-tests.cjs's per-chunk weight budget (MAX_FILES_PER_CHUNK)
   let a Windows full-matrix chunk that was well under budget by the
   Linux/macOS-calibrated weight table (~32/60 units) still exceed the
   600s wall-clock backstop — codex-config.test.cjs's genuinely-measured
   weight (17.87) doesn't transfer 1:1 to Windows's slower install/
   subprocess overhead. Windows now gets its own lower cap (40 vs 60).

38e4ce5f62 fix(#4186): anchored status vocabulary, record-session arg guard, recount pin (#4381)
* fix(#4186): anchored status vocabulary, record-session arg guard, recount pin

Three defects from #4186:

1. normalizeStateStatus ran a first-match-wins SUBSTRING chain over the
   free-prose body Status field, so prose merely mentioning a status word
   was silently rewritten to a credible wrong token (a .planning/ path in
   Italian prose -> status: planning; verifica -> verifying; completezza ->
   completed). Recognition is now an ANCHORED whole-field match against a
   declared vocabulary (STATUS_EXACT_TOKENS + STATUS_ANCHORED_PATTERNS,
   state-document.cts) — case/whitespace-tolerant, branch-order artifacts
   preserved (Planning complete -> planning; Phase complete — ready for
   verification -> verifying). The recorded lenient fallback (#3873 row 26)
   stands: unrecognized prose passes through verbatim. Read-side consumers
   (W011, statusline) ride the same function.

2. The progress recount skew (stray *-SUMMARY.md inflating
   completed_plans) is already dead on next via #1988/PR #2016
   (countMatchedSummaries pairs summaries to plans) — verified live and
   pinned with regression rows composed against the #4129/#4359 ratchet.

3. state record-session with no args executed and wrote STATE.md; it now
   errors like state update (stopped-at or resume-file required), handler-
   side so SDK callers are covered too. Four tests pinning the bare-call
   write are updated to the new contract.

* fix(#4186): update status pins to the anchored vocabulary contract

Bench round 1 follow-ups:

- Legacy bare 'Milestone complete' kept as reader-side vocabulary
  (ADR-2207 removed the writers, not recognition of legacy files).
- state.test pins updated: 'Paused at Plan 3' and round-trip
  'Executing Plan 5' were pins of the substring guessing itself —
  the round-trip now uses the real handler form 'Executing Phase 5'.
- record-session no-op/no-fields tests repurposed to the usage-error
  contract (CLI + SDK-level ExitError), byte-unchanged assertions kept.
- statusline tests repinned: vocabulary values collapse to keywords;
  narratives render the documented first-word fallback instead of a
  guessed token. Hook doc comment updated to match.
- docs-guard exempt baseline: state.test.cjs now cites docs/CLI-TOOLS.md.
- docs/CLI-TOOLS.md: record-session signature notes the required flag.

47f83beb62 fix(#4205): filter gsd_run, not gsd-tools, when isolating PATH in launcher fixtures (#4337)
* fix(#4205): filter gsd_run, not gsd-tools, when isolating PATH in launcher fixtures

The runtime launcher's PATH-fallback arm probes `command -v gsd_run`
(renamed from gsd-tools in #3146), but every PATH-isolation fixture in
runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs filtered on the pre-rename name. A real
installed gsd_run reachable on PATH survived the filter and got invoked
in place of the fixture's runtime-home stub, so negative tests passed
without proving PATH was actually empty and positive home-fallback tests
failed with "Unknown command" errors from the unrelated real CLI.

Adds (B1), a regression test that plants a sentinel gsd_run on PATH and
asserts the resolver still falls through to the HERMES_HOME stub instead
of invoking it.

* docs(#4205): fix stale gsd-tools references in PATH-probe doc comments

Addresses agy adversarial review nits on PR #4205: several doc comments
and JSDoc blocks still described the launcher's PATH-fallback probe as
`gsd-tools` after the filter fix. Updates them to `gsd_run` to match the
actual `command -v gsd_run` probe and the corrected filters. No test
logic changes.

* test(#4205): tighten (B1) assertions and dedupe rationale comments

Addresses opus critical-code-reviewer/ponytail findings on PR #27:
- (B1): split the collapsed && assertion into two, matching neighbor
  (B)'s style, for clearer failure diagnostics.
- (B1): drop the dead `if (nodeBinDir)` guard — cleanup() already
  no-ops on a non-string argument (tests/helpers.cjs:452).
- (B1): drop the dead backslash-path normalization — the test is
  win32-skipped, so stdout paths are always POSIX.
- Six near-identical "#4205: probe target is gsd_run, not gsd-tools"
  comments collapsed to pointers at the one canonical explanation in
  buildIsolatedPath().

No behavior change; 31/31 tests still pass.

* fix(#4205): scrub ambient config-dir env vars leaking into launcher fixtures

Same class of bug as the PATH leak this issue reports, different vector:
the resolver's runtime-home elif chain checks CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR before
HERMES_HOME, CURSOR_CONFIG_DIR, CODEX_HOME, etc., but the fixtures
targeting those later arms never cleared the earlier ones from the
spread process.env. An ambient CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR pointing at a real
install silently wins over the fixture's intended stub, exactly like
the reported gsd_run PATH leak. Confirmed with a real leaked install:
red on tests (D)/(H)/bug-211 (C)/(D)/(B1)/(B)/(C) without the fix,
green with it.

Also removes bug-891's (B) test, now a strict subset of (B1): once the
sentinel is filtered by buildIsolatedPath(), both tests exercise the
identical HERMES_HOME resolution with the identical script and env —
(B1) already asserts everything (B) did, plus the sentinel-not-invoked
check. Updated the block's header docblock to match.

30/30 tests pass (31 minus the removed duplicate).

* fix(#4205): scrub CODEX_HOME/XDG_CONFIG_HOME, restore (B) on Windows

Adversarial review of this PR found three more instances of the exact
leak class the PR exists to close.

(H) asserts the $HOME/.codex fallback but never cleared an ambient
CODEX_HOME, which overrides that default outright. Proven load-bearing:
with a fake install planted at CODEX_HOME the test fails without this
scrub and the leaked install's own output appears in stdout.

The two "every arm must miss" hard-error fixtures cleared all 16
config-dir vars but not XDG_CONFIG_HOME, which the resolver's opencode
and kilo arms fall back through as
${OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR:-${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/opencode} — a
host XDG_CONFIG_HOME leaks past a fake HOME.

Restore bug-891's (B), deleted here as a subset of (B1). It is not one
on Windows: (B) ran cross-platform, (B1) is POSIX-only because it plants
an executable sh sentinel, so the deletion left the HERMES_HOME arm with
no Windows coverage. Restored with the CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR scrub its
sibling fixtures already carry.

* docs(#4205): correct makeIsolatedPath's docblock and the bug-891 header

The doc-fix commit earlier in this branch rewrote makeIsolatedPath's
docblock from "strips gsd-tools" to "strips gsd_run". Both are false:
the function filters nothing, returns process.env.PATH whole, and the
"noToolsBin dir that shadows gsd_run with a sentinel" it describes does
not exist — every caller passes an empty directory. Its isolation comes
from resolution order, since the RUNTIME_DIR/.claude arm fires before
the PATH arm. Say that instead, and point anyone who needs the PATH arm
itself to miss at buildIsolatedPath(), which does filter.

Add (B) to the bug-891 asserts list; restoring it in 48cf0b917 left the
header describing a test set the file no longer has. Mark (B) and (B1)
cross-platform and POSIX-only respectively, which is why both exist.

Drop one more stale "remove gsd-tools" comment the doc pass missed.

* fix(#4205): derive the fixture env scrub, stop writing to CLAUDE_ENV_FILE

Two findings from review, both measured.

CLAUDE_ENV_FILE was never scrubbed. The snippet's tail appends
`export PATH='<dir>'` to it whenever it is set, so running this suite on
a host that exports it wrote 11 lines into the developer's real env
file, each naming a /tmp fixture directory the test had already deleted
— they accumulate per run and prepend dead entries to the PATH of every
later shell. The reported bug was fixtures READING developer state; this
was them writing to it. Now 0 lines.

The 17-key scrub list was hand-written, which tests/helpers.cjs already
warns against: "#2665: this list is DERIVED, not hand-maintained. A
hand-written list is exactly what reopened this bug twice". It was right
— the hand list here missed CODEX_HOME and XDG_CONFIG_HOME until review
caught them, and a 17th runtime home would have left it silently stale.
Replace both copies with TEST_ENV_BASE, derived from the registry the
resolver itself reads, applied at runBashFile/runResolver so every
fixture that sources the snippet is covered rather than the two that
remembered to ask. GEMINI_CONFIG_DIR is added explicitly: the runtime is
retired (#1928) so the registry no longer carries it, but the snippet
still probes its arm.

Verified by pointing all 16 config-dir vars plus XDG_CONFIG_HOME at a
real install tree: 30/30 pass.

Fold (B1) into (B). Reverting the filter under a clean PATH left the old
(B) green — it only caught the bug on an already-leaking machine — while
(B1) caught it anywhere but was skipped on Windows. One test now does
both: it plants the PATH sentinel on POSIX and still exercises the
HERMES_HOME arm on Windows. Mutation-checked both ways on a PATH with no
real gsd_run. Assert the hermes dir itself rather than "gsd-core/bin/",
which every resolver arm ends in and so cannot tell them apart.

* fix(#4205): scrub BASH_ENV and reject an empty RUNTIME_DIR in runResolver

BASH_ENV defeated the whole scrub. Non-interactive bash sources it
before the script runs, which is after the env: object is applied, so a
single inherited var re-injects any of the others. Measured: a BASH_ENV
exporting CODEX_HOME turned (H) red; blanked, 30/30.

runResolver passed RUNTIME_DIR: runtimeDir || '', and '' is
indistinguishable from unset to ${RUNTIME_DIR:-$(git rev-parse
--show-toplevel)} — an empty value falls back to the real repo root and
resolves its real install, the leak this issue is about. Both callers
already pass one, so require it rather than paper over it.

* test(#4344): plant the leaked gsd_run sentinel on Windows too

(B) planted its gsd_run sentinel only on POSIX, so the Windows shards
proved nothing about buildIsolatedPath()'s PATH filter — the exact gap
#4344 recorded. npm's global installs write an extensionless Bourne shim
beside gsd_run.cmd, and fs.constants.X_OK behaves like F_OK on Windows,
so the existing probe already sees the leak there; only the fixture was
POSIX-gated.

Plant the sentinel on every platform and assert that buildIsolatedPath()
strips its directory from the returned PATH. That assertion is red on
both platforms when the filter probes the wrong name, and unlike the
stdout assertions it does not depend on the MSYS mount's exec
heuristics. Restore process.env.PATH before the child spawns rather than
in a t.after hook: on Windows process.env spreads as 'Path', so a
still-live leak would compete with snippetEnv()'s 'PATH' override for
the casing the child receives.

Refs #4205

* fix(#4205): stop the host PATH leaking past snippetEnv on Windows

Adversarial review (agy, gemini-3.8-flash-high) found that the fixtures'
PATH isolation is defeatable on Windows regardless of which name the
filter probes. Windows environment variables are case-insensitive but a
spread of process.env is not: the host PATH enumerates as 'Path', so
'{ ...process.env, PATH: isolated }' yields both keys, and libuv's
make_program_env sorts the child's environment block case-insensitively
without ever dropping duplicates. The child could therefore resolve the
host PATH. snippetEnv() now drops every other casing whenever a caller
supplies its own PATH.

Also from that review:

- buildIsolatedPath() takes the PATH to filter as a parameter, so (B0)
  and (B) no longer mutate process.env.PATH and no longer need
  try/finally restores.
- The two loud-guard fixtures asserted 'not found' OR 'ERROR', which
  bash's own 'node: command not found' satisfies; they now assert the
  launcher's 'ERROR: gsd-tools.cjs not found'.
- Corrected a comment counting three scrub keys as two, and two comments
  crediting a removed env argument for clearing ambient config dirs
  rather than snippetEnv()'s derived TEST_ENV_BASE.

* fix(#4205): make the fixtures' node shim work on Windows

bug-211 (C) located node with `which node` through the process seam.
`which` is not a Windows binary; the fixture only survived CI because
Git Bash ships one. process.execPath is the same answer without the
spawn, and (H) already used it.

Both fixtures then built their node shim with fs.symlinkSync, which
raises EPERM on Windows without developer mode or elevation — the same
reason buildIsolatedPath() skips its own symlink step there. The shared
linkNodeShim() helper hard-links instead on that platform (no privilege
required) and falls back to a copy across volumes.

Found by adversarial review (agy, gemini-3.8-flash-high).

Refs #4344

* fix(#4205): make the launcher PATH isolation extension-aware and Windows-safe

trek-e's review asks for a Windows-safe node fallback, an extension-aware
filter, and a Windows regression test, in that order: broadening the
filter first can strip the directory node itself lives in.

buildIsolatedPath() now always prepends a directory holding node, on
every platform, via the linkExecutable() helper (hard link on Windows,
where symlinks need elevation). nodeBinDir is no longer nullable and the
win32 early return is gone, so the fallback exists before the filter
widens. (B0), the co-location invariant, therefore runs on Windows
instead of being skipped on the one platform that had no fallback.

The filter probes every name the launcher's `command -v gsd_run` arm can
resolve. msys bash appends an executable extension during PATH lookup,
so a directory holding only gsd_run.exe is reachable on Windows although
gsd_run is absent. PATHEXT is folded in as well; it over-matches, which
costs nothing now that node is always supplied separately. (B0) asserts
every name in that set is filtered, and (B) plants a gsd_run.exe sentinel
on Windows beside the extensionless one npm installs.

The predicate lived in five hand-maintained copies — the drift that
caused #4205 in the first place, and four of the copies pointed readers
at a buildIsolatedPath() that was block-scoped out of their reach.
buildIsolatedPath() moves to module scope and the four inline copies call
it. The three shadow runBashFile() declarations this PR had to edit
identically go with them.

Red-proved both ways: probing 'gsd-tools' again turns (B0) and (B) red;
making the node prepend conditional turns (B0)(ii) red.

Refs #4344

* fix(#4205): drop empty PATH elements from the isolated PATH

A POSIX shell reads an empty PATH element as the current directory, so
an isolated PATH carrying one still lets the launcher's `command -v
gsd_run` arm resolve a gsd_run from the fixture's own working directory
— the leak class this file exists to close.

Two ways one appeared. An ambient PATH containing `::` survived the
filter, because `path.join('', 'gsd_run')` probes the working directory
rather than a directory entry, so hasGsdRun could not see what it was
admitting. And a PATH whose every entry was filtered joined to an empty
string, leaving the returned value ending in a delimiter, which means
the same thing.

Empty entries are now dropped alongside the gsd_run-bearing ones, and
the surviving directories are joined as a list, so a fully-filtered PATH
yields the node shim dir alone. (B0) asserts both cases.

Found by CodeRabbit on the fork rehearsal PR.

Refs #4344

* fix(#4205): keep only absolute PATH dirs, and assert the sentinel by basename

Adversarial review (agy, gemini-3.8-flash-high) on the previous head.

An empty PATH element was dropped, but `.` and any other relative entry
say the same thing explicitly and survived. hasGsdRun() cannot see what
it would admit either: `path.join('.', 'gsd_run')` probes the runner's
working directory, not the child's, so isolation also varied by where
the suite was started from. Only absolute directories survive now, which
can only tighten the isolation. (B0) asserts it over an empty element, a
`.`, a relative entry, and a fully-filtered PATH — the previous
empty-string assertion passed on the `.` case.

(B)'s GSD_TOOLS assertion compared an absolute os.tmpdir() path against
launcher output, which the file already documents as a mismatch on
Windows: git-bash prints /c/Users/... where Node gives C:\Users\....
It never matched there, so it asserted nothing on the platform it was
added for. It matches the mkdtemp basename now, which both path forms
share. (B) also plants ONLY gsd_run.exe on Windows: with an extensionless
sibling present, an extension-blind filter would strip the directory for
the wrong reason and pass.

snippetEnv() deduped case-variant keys for PATH alone. On Windows every
scrubbed key has the same exposure — an ambient `bash_env` reaches the
child beside the blanked `BASH_ENV`, and BASH_ENV re-injects the rest.
Every key the function sets now wins over other casings of itself; keys
it does not set are untouched, so a caller passing no PATH override still
gets the host PATH.

Refs #4344

* test(#4205): plant probe fixtures as files, not interpreter links

Review follow-ups on 776e9371f.

(B0)'s co-location fixture and its GSD_RUN_NAMES sweep only ever probe
the planted names with accessSync; nothing executes them. They used
linkExecutable, so on Windows the sweep hard-linked node.exe once per
PATHEXT entry — a dozen on a stock runner, and a full copy each when
os.tmpdir() and process.execPath sit on different volumes. plantExecutable
writes a zero-byte 0o755 file instead. linkExecutable keeps the two
callers that need a real executable: the node buildIsolatedPath prepends,
and the Windows sentinel.

The '/usr/bin:/bin' fallback formatted POSIX paths with the platform
delimiter, yielding '/usr/bin;/bin' on Windows, which path.isAbsolute
accepts and no Windows shell would ever produce. It was also unreachable:
basePath defaults to process.env.PATH. An unset PATH now yields the node
shim dir alone and fails loudly at spawn rather than being papered over.

(B)'s header said the sentinel is planted in both forms; the code plants
one per platform, and planting both on Windows is what the branch below
it exists to avoid. Also names which assertion carries the Windows
guarantee, since SENTINEL_INVOKED cannot fire there.

The shared helper's temp dirs were prefixed gsd-891-, attributing every
fixture's leftovers to one of the four bugs it now serves.

Refs #4344

* fix(#4205): model bash's PATH lookup, not cmd.exe's, and give (B0) its own oracle

Ponytail review on aec6012fc.

GSD_RUN_NAMES expanded PATHEXT, which describes cmd.exe rather than the
shell the launcher's `command -v gsd_run` arm runs under. The Cygwin/msys
rule is that .exe may be omitted from a command while '.bat and .com ...
you cannot omit the extension', so gsd_run.exe is reachable for a bare
gsd_run and gsd_run.cmd/.ps1 are not, whatever PATHEXT lists. The comment
claimed the resulting over-match was free. It was not:
buildIsolatedPath() restores node to the isolated PATH, but nothing
restores bash, which the fixtures spawn by name — so every extra dropped
directory was another chance to remove the one bash lives in and fail
with ENOENT instead of an assertion. Narrowed to gsd_run and
gsd_run.exe. (Aside, the PATHEXT default does not even contain .PS1.)

(B0)'s name-sweep took its list from GSD_RUN_NAMES, so it swept the
constant under test with itself and could only catch that constant being
deleted, never being wrong. Its relative-element case re-ran the
implementation's own filter predicate over that filter's output, which is
true for any predicate. Both now assert against written-out expectations:
the reachable names per platform, and the exact directories that must
survive each case.

Also: the test name covered two of its four assertions, and the case
table's prose counted three of its four entries.

Red-proved three ways: dropping the gsd_run filter, dropping the
absoluteness filter, and claiming a name the filter does not cover each
turn (B0) red.

f09e7ed08c fix(#4137): existsSync-guard the Homebrew Cellar rewrite in normalizeNodePath (#4375)
* test(#4137): keg-only Homebrew Cellar path falls back to raw execPath

Regression tests for the Homebrew branch of normalizeNodePath: the rewrite
to <prefix>/bin/node must be existsSync-guarded like the mise/volta
branches, falling through to the raw execPath when the keg-only formula
was never linked into <prefix>/bin. Also makes the existing #3181/#2185
Cellar assertions hermetic by injecting existsSync stubs (granting
existence to exactly the one candidate each asserts) so they no longer
depend on the runner machine's real /usr/local/bin/node.

* fix(#4137): existsSync-guard the Homebrew Cellar rewrite in normalizeNodePath

The Homebrew branch of normalizeNodePath returned <prefix>/bin/node
unconditionally — the only one of five runtime branches that never probed
its rewrite candidate. On a keg-only or versioned Homebrew install
(node@24 never brew-linked) that path does not exist, so every managed
hook command baked by resolveNodeRunner/buildBakedNodeToken/
buildNodeRunnerChainToken failed at invocation with exit 127, /bin/sh:
<prefix>/bin/node: No such file or directory.

Guard the rewrite with the already-injected existsSync exactly like the
mise and volta branches: when <prefix>/bin/node exists (linked formula)
the rewrite is byte-identical to today; when it does not, fall through to
the raw execPath — a working keg path instead of an immediately broken
one. Also drops two now-unused constants from the regression tests.

* test(#4137): make the #977 non-fnm Cellar assertions hermetic too

The Bug #977 folded block's two 'still maps to stable symlink' assertions
called normalizeNodePath without an existsSync stub, silently depending
on the runner machine's real /usr/local/bin/node (present on the Linux
bench image, absent for /opt/homebrew). With the #4137 guard these become
environment-dependent; grant each exactly the one candidate it asserts.

54085516c1 fix(#4211): materialize Kimi's agent tree recursively during surface apply (#4371)
* fix(#4211): materialize Kimi's agent tree recursively during surface apply

kimiAgentsKind stages `gsd.yaml` + `gsd.md` + `subagents/gsd-*.{yaml,md}`, and
install copies that tree recursively (_copyStaged). Surface apply fell through
to _syncGsdDir's flat command/agent branch, which reads only top-level `*.md`:
the YAML half and the whole subagents/ subtree were ignored, and `gsd.md` was
written as `gsdgsd.md` because the flat branch re-applies kind.prefix to a name
that already carries it. A surface change could therefore corrupt Kimi's
installed artifacts while still reporting success.

Three divergences from the install path, all in src/surface.cts:

- _syncGsdDir gains a kimi-agents branch: recursive copy, then a prune scoped
  to exactly what install's _removeGsdEntries owns for this kind (the two root
  files, and gsd-*.{yaml,md} under subagents/). Everything else is user-owned
  and preserved.
- applySurface stages kimi-agents WITH agentCtx and the `skills: '*'` rule for
  an unmodified full profile, as it already does for the agents kind and as
  createRuntimeArtifactInstallPlan does for every kind — without it Kimi's
  generated subagents lost their path-prefix rewrites and attribution trailer,
  and an unmodified full profile staged only the skill-referenced subset.
- applySurface runs rewriteStagedSkillBodies for kimi-agents, which the
  install plan routes through it alongside skills.

acb3cc974b fix(#4197): dedup the update-context fast path against the selected global dir (#4413)
* fix(#4197): dedup the update-context fast path against the selected global candidate

The preferredConfigDir fast path derived scope from a cwd-relative match
alone, so a global install reported LOCAL whenever the shell sat in
$HOME — and run_update then drove the installer through its --local arm
(settings.local.json + the #338 relocation) against a global install.

Extract resolveGlobalCandidate (env candidates first, then $HOME-relative,
first hasInstall hit wins) and use it in BOTH paths: the fast path now
answers LOCAL only for a cwd-relative match that is not the selected
global dir, which is the same dedup the cascade applies at its isLocal
check. A preferred dir that is also the env-directed global now answers
GLOBAL on both paths (the cascade's answer), pinned by a parity test.

The discriminator is the selected global candidate, not the $HOME
pathname: with CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR directing the global elsewhere,
$HOME/.claude probed from cwd === $HOME is a genuine local install, and
a pathname check would re-break parity (regression-pinned).

* test(#2618): assert the Needs clause on the structured field, not the path-length-dependent bullet

The bullet embeds the todo file's ABSOLUTE path, so its total length
varies by runner tmpdir: on macOS CI, /private/var/folders/… plus the
test harness's gsd-test-run-* wrapper pushed the full bullet to 244
chars — past renderPendingTodoBullet's intended 240-char cap, whose
documented first degradation step drops the Needs clause. The product
behavior is correct (#2618 design); the assertion was runner-dependent.
The extraction is now pinned on json.todos[0].needs; the rendered-bullet
shape stays covered by the path-independent title assertion and the
renderer's own unit rows.

b7917882bb fix(#4398): render the pending-todo bullet link repo-relative (#4416)
* test(#4384): failing-first regression rows for the macOS long-base todo-cap failure

The 240-char pending-todo bullet cap must be deterministic w.r.t. where the
repo is checked out. Deterministic long-base-path fixtures (a single 110-char
segment, no real macOS dependency) reproduce next's own macos shard 3/3
failure (run 34038716700) on every OS: with an absolute link the bullet
exceeds the cap and the documented needs-first truncation drops the
'Needs <solution>' clause. Rows cover the determinism property (byte-identical
bullets under short and long bases), the CLI surface, relative-path stability,
legacy no-projectRoot behavior, drop-order preservation, and adversarial
edges (outside-root, path===root, non-string path).

* fix(#4384): render the pending-todo bullet link repo-relative

renderPendingTodosMarkdown gains an optional projectRoot; when given and the
todo's path is absolute, the bullet's [todo file](…) target becomes
toPosixPath(path.relative(projectRoot, path)) — the idiom already used for
project_exists. cmdInitTodos passes cwd.

The JSON todos[].path field stays absolute (#2376). Only the rendered display
link changes: embedding the machine-variable absolute base let macOS's
/private/var/folders/… temp paths consume the 240-char budget and drop the
'Needs' clause on long-path machines only — next's own macos-latest shard 3/3
went red on exactly this (run 34038716700), Linux's short /tmp passed. The
240-char whole-bullet cap and the needs→title→area drop order are unchanged;
this matches PR #4384's own canonical example, docs, and unit tests, which all
show repo-relative links. Docs updated at all three surfaces that describe the
bullet (COMMANDS.md, templates/state.md, reference/state-md.md — the last was
still pre-#4384 'count and reference' prose).

Fixes the macOS regression introduced by #4384; next is red on its own CI.

fd4aac5670 fix(#4192): honor explicit model pins on the claude runtime (#4396)
* fix(#4192): honor explicit model pins on the claude runtime

Two documented model-configuration contracts did not hold on the claude
runtime (confirmed-bug scope from the issue triage):

Finding 1 — model_profile_overrides.claude.<tier> was inert. Step 3 of
resolveModelInternal gated runtime-aware tier resolution on
configRuntime !== 'claude', so the key's only reader was never consulted,
while workflows/settings-advanced.md writes it for claude-runtime users.
A new step 4.5 resolves ONLY the user's override entry (never the builtin
claude tier map, so unpinned installs keep resolving aliases). An
override value that maps to a current tier alias collapses to that alias
(byte-equivalent, the #2041 protection); anything else — a pinned older
generation, a bare alias repoint, a non-Anthropic id — resolves verbatim.
It sits after the resolve_model_ids:'omit' gate so an explicit project
omit still wins (#2297) and before the alias return so
resolve_model_ids:true cannot re-materialize the pin to the latest id.

Finding 2 — fully-qualified claude-* ids in model_overrides were
warn-dropped to tier resolution (mapClaudeOverrideForRuntime unmappable
branch, #2041), while the docs promise any fully-qualified model id is
valid. The unmappable branch now passes the pin through verbatim with a
warn-once breadcrumb (text describes the pass-through). Dropping it
silently unpinned the operator's explicit choice — the exact 'profile
can misrepresent what actually runs' defect of #4192. Mappable ids and
non-claude values behave exactly as before; resolveModelForTier shares
the mapping; the tier honesty signal is unchanged (raw ids still report
'unknown'); the model_policy path is untouched.

Docs updated to the agreed contract (CONFIGURATION.md false 'Claude
example' corrected; how-to + shipped reference document the pin
semantics, the fable alias, and the tier-override composition).

* test(#4192): pin explicit model pin resolution on the claude runtime

28 failing-first rows across the resolver seam and the resolve-model CLI:
pinned-generation fidelity (tier override + per-agent verbatim pins,
object form, explicit runtime), unpinned controls byte-stable (no
override, other runtime/tier, inherit, project omit, precedence),
adversarial rows (prototype-chain keys, malformed values, warn-once
dedupe, 64-char stderr cap), and behavioral AC1/AC2 rows through
runGsdTools. The stale #2041 fall-through assertions now pin the
pass-through contract; mappable-id collapse assertions unchanged.

0aa4202f6a fix(#4135): headline baseline coverage, opt-in strict gate, git-history widening (#4376)
* test(#4135): regression rows for pristine regen coverage collapse

RED skeleton: src/pristine-baseline.cts exports findPristineInGit as a
null-returning stub (wired into verifyFile after the #4145 orphan tier,
behavior-neutral) so the git-history rows fail behaviorally, not at require
time. Failing-first rows: baseline_covered aggregate on a 1-of-13
multi-version fixture, coverageHeadline typed renderer, the opt-in
--min-baseline-coverage gate (exit 3, >= threshold semantics, vacuous-pass
and malformed-value boundaries), git-history baseline recovery (dropped-line
catch + surviving-line verify + older-commit hop), findPristineInGit unit,
Step 5a workflow headline contract, and the installer-side
describeBaselineCoverage honest N-of-M summary with the collapse disk-state
pinned. Negative-space rows pin today: non-git ok_no_baseline posture,
no-match-no-adoption, #3657 drift never rescued, canonical precedence, and
no git tier without --pristine-dir.

* fix(#4135): headline baseline coverage, opt-in strict gate, git-history widening

The #3407 promotion rule regenerates gsd-pristine/ baselines from the
INCOMING release source and keeps only candidates byte-identical with the
OUTGOING recorded hash — correct in isolation, but on a multi-version jump
the surviving set is precisely the files upstream did NOT change. The
verifier then reports ok_no_baseline (advisory, exit 0) for everything
else, and no surface distinguishes a 12-of-13-unverified green run from a
fully-verified one: the human summary printed Checked/Failures only, the
JSON had no coverage aggregate, and the installer's update output gave
per-bucket counts without N-of-M framing.

All three issue directions, none exclusive:

- Report coverage prominently: --json gains an additive baseline_covered
  aggregate; the human summary leads with 'Baseline coverage: N of M
  file(s)...' on every run plus an advisory section naming each skipped
  file and reason; the installer prints an honest covered-of-modified line
  via the exported describeBaselineCoverage helper (typed return, exact
  contract); workflow Step 5a computes and prints the headline before any
  pass/fail framing.
- Fail louder on low coverage: opt-in --min-baseline-coverage <0..1>
  exits with new documented code 3 when coverage falls below the
  threshold (>= semantics; empty run vacuously passes; content failure
  exit 1 outranks it; malformed values are usage errors, exit 2).
  Default posture unchanged — no_baseline stays advisory per #934.
- Widen the promotion rule (its only trustworthy form): when no baseline
  resolves under gsd-pristine/ and a hash is recorded, the verifier now
  recovers the baseline from the config dir's own git history — the
  workflow's documented Option A — anchored by the same authority every
  tier trusts, exact pristine_hashes sha-256 equality. Read-only
  (git log/git show, windowsHide per #685), bounded (100 commits/file,
  10s/subprocess), null-on-any-failure so ok_no_baseline remains the
  universal fallback. Tier order: canonical join -> #4145 orphan scan ->
  git history -> OK_NO_BASELINE; #3657 drift and canonical precedence
  untouched.

Hash validation in saveLocalPatches is NOT relaxed — the collapse is
legitimate conservatism; hiding it was the bug. Measured on the issue's
shape (13 files, 12 changed upstream, 1.10->1.12): non-git installs report
baseline_covered 1/13 with the headline and can gate at exit 3; a
git-managed config dir with the outgoing bytes in history verifies 13/13.

Review fixes folded in: workflow headline derives the unverified count
from checked - baseline_covered (not the drift+no_baseline sum), and the
new site-scoped allow-test-rule annotation carries its ADR-456 see-ref on
the marker line.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: reapply-patches.md — #4135 — +20 lines / ~1.5 KB, prose and bash only: two additive parse lines (BASELINE_COVERED, CHECKED_COUNT), a Step 5a coverage-headline block printed BEFORE any pass/fail statement (documents the opt-in --min-baseline-coverage exit-3 gate), and one Option B sentence noting the verifier's read-only git-history fallback. No step ordering, gate, tool-invocation, or dispatch shape changed; 5a's fail/drift/advisory handling is unchanged, the headline only precedes it.

c95b734145 fix(#4136): compute the Incorporated status; stop re-grafting superseded patches (#4373)
* test(#4136): failing-first rows for the unreachable incorporated status

Folded block bug-4136-reapply-incorporated-status locks the --classify
contract (incorporated / needs_merge / unknown, never-incorporated
guards, cycle end-to-end) plus the workflow-contract rows; REASON gains
OK_UNVALIDATED_BASELINE in both shape-locks; the #2994 invocation count
moves 1 -> 2 (classify + gate). All red until the verifier grows
--classify and the workflow consumes it.

* fix(#4136): compute the incorporated status; stop re-grafting superseded patches

Add --classify pre-merge mode to the deterministic verifier: with a
hash-validated pristine baseline, a file whose every significant
user-added line is already present verbatim in the freshly installed
version is classified incorporated (new frozen CLASSIFICATION enum,
structured --json report, always exit 0 — the binding gate stays the
post-merge run). Drifted (#3657), absent (#934), unvalidated (new
OK_UNVALIDATED_BASELINE), and no-baseline runs classify unknown — a
false incorporated silently retires a live customization, so only a
confirmed baseline may ever confirm adoption.

The baseline-resolution block moves out of verifyFile into a shared
resolvePristineBaseline so the gate and the classifier cannot drift on
what counts as a usable baseline; gate behavior is byte-identical.

reapply-patches.md step 4 gains the pre-flight classifier invocation
and the not-re-grafted contract: incorporated files are left exactly as
shipped (their hash then re-converges with the manifest, ending the
backup cycle), statuses feed steps 3/7, and the merge rules gain the
already-present-verbatim arm.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: reapply-patches.md — step 4 pre-flight classifier section, the documented Incorporated status needed its deterministic contract

* fix(#4136): address review findings on the workflow contract

Drop the unused INCORPORATED_COUNT shell variable (standards pass) and
close the all-files-incorporated gap in the hunk-table guidance: emit a
header row plus a note line so the step 5b absent-table halt is not
tripped when nothing was merged (spec pass).

* chore(#4136): backfill changeset fragment with PR 4373

* test(#4136): lock that a 4145-recovered baseline can confirm incorporation

The hash-first orphan recovery merged with next (PR #4364) lands in the
shared resolvePristineBaseline as a validated resolution; this row pins
the composition so a future change cannot quietly downgrade recovered
baselines to unknown and silently disable incorporated detection for
prefix-less installs.

7bb366e836 fix(#4130): --context flag for check decision-coverage-plan + parseDecisions quadratic-backtracking hardening (#4374)
* test(#4130): failing-first regressions for --context flag + parseDecisions hardening

Block A (flag): check decision-coverage-plan --context <path> must route
identically to the positional form; flag wins over positional context;
valueless --context falls through to the #2770 fail-closed caller error;
verify keeps its positional surface (flag is plan-only). RED on base:
the flag token lands in the args[2] phase slot (false uncovered) or the
args[3] context slot (silent CONTEXT.md-missing skip).

Block B (hardening): regex-lattice asserts pin the atomic-ID wrapper
(?=(X))\1 and the em-dash first-separator narrowing [^*—–]*[—–] plus the
no-adjacent-overlap property; a differential property compares the module
against a frozen copy of the pre-hardening grammars (reference validated
against the base build: 60k generated lines, 0 mismatches); 40k cliff
shapes assert correct outcomes with no wall-time asserts (repo rule).

A12: partitionPredicateArgs keeps one parser behind parsePredicateFlags.

* fix(#4130): --context flag for check decision-coverage-plan + quadratic-backtracking hardening in parseDecisions

(A) check decision-coverage-plan --context <path> — sibling convention
(check predicate, #2008): --flag value pairs parsed by the new shared
partitionPredicateArgs (parsePredicateFlags reimplemented as its flags
half — one parser, cannot diverge), the flag winning over a same-purpose
positional, positionals kept (no sibling deprecates them; the plan-phase
workflow caller passes positionals), valueless --context falls through
to the #2770 fail-closed caller error. Repair of the routing accident
where --context landed in the args[2] phase slot (false uncovered) or
the literal token in the args[3] context slot (silent green skip).

(B) parseDecisions regex seam hardened, byte-identical on all legal
inputs: the three bullet grammars consume the ID atomically via the
(?=(X))\1 lookahead emulation (kills the tail/[^:*]* O(n^2) re-split,
~1.1s @ 40k), and the em-dash first separator narrows [^*]*[—–] to
[^*—–]*[—–] (kills the dash-position O(n^2) retry, ~1.7s @ 40k). Group
indices unchanged (handlers untouched). Pinned by regex-lattice tests,
a differential fast-check property vs the frozen pre-hardening grammars,
and 40k cliff/legal-shape outcome tests (no wall-time asserts per repo
rule — no deterministic engine step counter exists in Node).

* docs+test(#4130): document --context invocation; harden lattice test tooling

- docs/CONFIGURATION.md Decision Coverage Gates: new 'Invoking the plan
  gate directly' block documenting both the positional and --context
  forms, flag precedence, and the valueless-flag fail-closed semantics
  (same place the gate's behavior is documented; sibling check predicate
  documents its flags the same way).
- Two changeset fragments per the maintainer brief (Added: flag; Fixed:
  hardening), PR numbers to be backfilled.
- tests/decisions.test.cjs review fixes: readRegExpTemplate template
  escaping (bare ')' SyntaxError), range-aware lattice checker with
  backreference skip and template unescape, honest A1 contract, lint
  escape warning.

* fix(#4130): valueless --context fails closed per #2770; A8 isolates flag-vs-positional context

Suite-caught fixes from the first verify run:
- cmdDecisionCoveragePlan now refuses a flag-shaped token as the
  positional context path: a bare valueless --context stays a positional
  (sibling parser semantics, unchanged) but reading it as a PATH would
  turn a caller mistake into a silent 'CONTEXT.md missing' green skip —
  exactly what #2770's fail-closed law forbids. Now falls through to
  the missing-context-argument error, as documented.
- A8 test compares decoy-positional+flag against flag-with-phase (phase
  held constant) so the row isolates WHICH context was read; the old
  form compared against a no-phase invocation that could never match.

6adf3098ac fix(#4145): resolve gsd-pristine/ baselines by recorded hash, relocate orphans (#4364)
* test(#4145): regression rows for hash-matching prefix-less pristine baselines

RED skeleton: src/pristine-baseline.cts exports findPristineByHash as a
null-returning stub so the new rows fail behaviorally, not at require time.
Failing-first rows: verifier resolution (no_baseline must drop to 0 when an
exact-hash orphan exists), findPristineByHash unit row, and the two
saveLocalPatches relocation rows. Negative-space rows pin today's behavior:
missing baselines still report ok_no_baseline, mismatching orphans are never
adopted or deleted, canonical precedence and the #3657 drift posture are
untouched.

* fix(#4145): resolve gsd-pristine/ baselines by recorded hash, relocate orphans

Both pristine readers joined the manifest-keyed path strictly, so a snapshot
stored without the gsd-core/ prefix (an earlier release's writer) was reported
as ok_no_baseline by the verifier and pushed into regeneration by
saveLocalPatches — where incoming-release candidates can never satisfy the
recorded outgoing hash, leaving the correct baseline permanently unconsumed.

- src/pristine-baseline.cts (new, ADR-457): shared findPristineByHash —
  deterministic sorted scan of gsd-pristine/, exact sha-256 equality with the
  recorded pristine_hashes entry (the same authority the #3657 drift guard
  trusts), symlink-skipping, canonical path excluded via skipRel.
- verify-reapply-patches.cjs verifyFile(): on canonical miss with a recorded
  hash, adopt byte-identical content found anywhere under gsd-pristine/ before
  reporting OK_NO_BASELINE. Drift posture (#3657), canonical precedence, and
  the frozen REASON/report shapes are untouched; the verifier stays read-only.
- install.js saveLocalPatches(): preserve-check rescue — relocate a
  hash-matching orphan to the canonical path (copy, hash-verify, then remove
  the orphan) so the state self-heals on the next update instead of repeating
  forever. Honest accounting: new non-overlapping rescued counter.
- Workflow doc: one-sentence note on hash-based snapshot resolution.
- Derived ripples: INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json regen, eslint ignore + .gitignore
  entries for the compiled artifact, seedFixture mkdir fix in the new rows.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: reapply-patches.md — one-sentence note on hash-based pristine snapshot resolution (#4145)

* fix(#4145): review follow-up — orphan scan never consumes a canonical path

Adversarial review finding: with two modified files sharing byte-identical
outgoing content, recoverOrphanedPristine could adopt the OTHER file's
canonical pristine as its rescue source — relocating it (copy + delete at
its home path) and ping-ponging the single baseline between the two files
across updates. findPristineByHash's skip parameter now accepts a Set, and
saveLocalPatches passes the normalized manifest keys so every canonical
path is excluded; only genuine non-canonical orphans are eligible for
removal (no strict-join reader ever consults those). Adds the
canonical-theft regression row, a Set-skip unit assertion, and tightens the
workflow doc sentence the same pass flagged as overstated.

* fix(#4145): INVENTORY roster row + symlink-fixture correction

Two leftovers from the ab17b7a1e5 bench run, both root-caused:
- docs/INVENTORY.md roster row for cli_modules/pristine-baseline.cjs
  (#3762 gate: every manifest entry carries a row).
- The findPristineByHash symlink unit fixture placed its symlink target
  INSIDE the scanned root, so the walk legitimately matched the real target
  file. The implementation skips the symlink itself; the fixture now keeps
  the target outside the scanned tree so the assertion tests what it claims.

c3e2da153b fix(#4134): refuse punctuation-only milestone heading names (#4358)
* test(#4134): fail-first regression — refuse punctuation-fragment milestone names

A first-milestone ROADMAP.md H1 that puts the version after the name
(# Roadmap: Project — Name (v1.13)) leaves exactly ')' after the heading's
own version token, which the ADR-3180 §7.2 pinned name rule returns as a
COMPLETE-scope milestone name. Failing-first coverage:

- getMilestoneInfo: name-then-version H1 (STATE-anchored + ROADMAP-only
  fallback) must yield TRUNCATED {version, name: null}, never ')'
- the refusal is level-agnostic (H2/H3)
- punctuation-family remainders (')', '()', '**', '.,;:', ']}', emoji-only)
- listMilestoneHeadings enumerates the heading with name: null
- init manager CLI reports milestone_name: null and no lone ')' anywhere
- property (seed 20260905, 300 runs): a word-char remainder is always a
  name, a punctuation-only remainder never is
- negative space: canonical delimiter forms, parenthetical names (#3171),
  trailing markers, digit-only names, CRLF headings, version-last-no-parens
  control

* fix(#4134): refuse punctuation-only milestone heading names

extractMilestoneHeadingName returns everything after the heading's own
version token as the name (ADR-3180 §7.2 pinned rule), which assumes
version-then-name. A name-then-version heading — the H1 a first-ever
ROADMAP.md drifts into ('# Roadmap: Project — Name (v1.13)') — leaves
exactly ')' after the token, and that fragment was returned as a
COMPLETE-scope milestone name, propagating into init.* JSON output and
buildStateFrontmatter's STATE.md writes.

A remainder with no letter or digit anywhere (any script) is heading
structure, not a curated name: refuse it as name: null so callers report
the honest §7.2 rule-6 answer (version kept, TRUNCATED scope). Names
that merely contain punctuation are unaffected — '(' stays an ordinary
name character (#3171) — and digit-only names qualify.

Also closes the template gap that lets the shape occur: the roadmapper
agent's output_formats now templates the version-free canonical H1
('# Roadmap: [Project Name]', per templates/roadmap.md) instead of
leaving a first milestone's title line to invention. The new section
shifts the file's existing bare-gsd-tools prose mention from line 647
to 660, so its line-keyed PROSE_ALLOWLIST entry moves with it.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-roadmapper.md — deliberate +498 bytes: new '### 0. Top-Level Title (H1)' output_formats section templating the canonical version-free H1, closing the first-milestone template gap that lets an H1 drift into 'Name (vX.Y)' and corrupt milestone_name extraction (#4134)

e6d047decc fix(#4129): derive completed_phases from the ROADMAP authority; honor the progress-ratchet on every state write (#4359)
* test(#4129): failing-first regressions — completed_phases clobber on resyncing writes and phase-complete failure to increment

* fix(#4129): completed_phases derives from the ROADMAP authority and the write path honors the progress-ratchet

Three coordinated prongs (diagnosis in .gsd/bug/fix-4129-completed-phases-recompute/):

P1 — buildStateFrontmatter's disk scan floors the completed-phases numerator at
the milestone-scoped ROADMAP Complete-row count (deriveProgressFromRoadmap, the
one owner), gated inside the same safeToUseRoadmapCount / not-withheld branch
that owns the denominator. A completed phase whose verification routes stale
(#2348 clean-commit-time drift) or is missing no longer under-counts forever.

P2 — applyPreserveAlways's resync arm merges instead of wholesale-replacing on
a measured scan: totals derived both directions (#2440), completed counters
up-only (#2969 — the schema-declared progress-ratchet, now enforced on the
write path like the read path always has), percent recomputed from the merged
counters. The #3756 unmeasured guard and the #3242 explicit-progress contract
are unchanged.

P3 — phase complete's atomic 3-file commit passes the post-completion
ROADMAP-derived counters through the #2736 authoritativeFm seam (new object
direction for the progress key; completedOnlyRaise at the post-preservation
re-assert), because the transaction's disk scan reads the pre-completion
ROADMAP and failed to increment on the completing phase's own write.

* fix(#4129): adversarial-review hardening — intent is a floor at BOTH authoritativeFm sites

The pre-preservation merge could lower a correctly-higher disk-derived
counter (a verification-passed phase whose ROADMAP table row drifted behind
the disk signal). completedOnlyRaise now governs both application sites: the
intent and the derivation agree on direction (up), never on subtraction.

* fix(#4129): the ratchet merge keeps derived values verbatim when numerically equal

The re-parsed derived block carries string scalars ("2") while the curated
snapshot carries numbers (2); substituting the curated spelling over an
equal derived one was a no-op in substance but a shape churn the ADR-3473
§8.7 reporting loop surfaced as a phantom preserved-over-disagreeing-derived
warning on phase complete (ADR-3408 §8.5 Matrix B). Only a strictly-greater
curated counter replaces the derived value now; percent gets the same
verbatim rule.

06eba5fdb0 fix(#4130): parse phase-prefixed decision IDs (D4-01) (#4357)
* test(#4130): failing-first regression for phase-prefixed decision IDs

Add the #4130 matrix: D4-01/D12-01 across all three bullet forms, tags,
discretion, wrapped lead-ins, gate-level plan/verify end-to-end rows, and
parity properties (well-formed digit-prefixed ids parse to their exact id;
a non-digit injected into the prefix fails loud). Update the #2347
non-D-prefix fixture from D5-NN (now a legal grammar) to DEC-NN, and
graduate the representative d5-prefix corpus fixture from could-not-parse
to parsed-but-uncovered.

All new rows are RED against origin/next; they go green with the parser
fix in the next commit.

* fix(#4130): parse phase-prefixed decision IDs (D4-01)

The three declaration grammars, the parse-miss guard, the #3939 join
regexes, and the token evidence all anchored on the literal 'D-' (or
'**D-'), so an ID carrying a digit-run phase prefix between the leading
letter and the hyphen matched nothing — while the #2347 shape detector
correctly called those bullets decision-shaped, collapsing the whole
CONTEXT.md to could-not-parse with 0 extracted instead of a coverage
verdict.

Derive the extractor ID grammar from one shared DECISION_ID_SOURCE
('D[0-9]*-' + the existing alnum tail, full id captured), widen the
guard/join anchors to ID_ATTEMPT_SOURCE (bare 'D-' or a digit-initial
prefix run, so a typo'd 'D4x-01' fails loud while letter-initial prose
like 'Deferred-until' stays none-present), and align the bare-token
evidence. Both gates and the gap-checker share the parser, so all three
surfaces read phase-prefixed decisions now; the gate messages name the
accepted forms including the phase-prefixed one.

* docs(#4130): document the phase-prefixed decision identifier form

The canonical CONTEXT.md reference said decisions carry 'a sequential
D-NN identifier' with no mention of the optional phase-number prefix the
parser now accepts (D4-01) or the alphanumeric tail it always accepted
(D-INFRA-01). Name both in the Decision identifier format section, EN
and ja-JP.

Without --merge-async this used the synchronous _getMergedProcessCov(),
loading every raw per-process V8 coverage dump into memory at once and
OOM-crashing release.yml's finalize-test job (run 33997057100) with a

a65cb291e8 fix(#4105): park the #3889 hang fixture on a settling timer (#4349)
* test(#4105): guard the #3889 hang fixture — must genuinely hang by itself and self-terminate

RED at this sha: against the current never-settling-promise body the guard
fails on the matrix line (Node 24: the unheld promise never self-terminates,
ceiling expires) and off it (v22-class runtimes: the child exits rc=1 after
~60ms, never reaching the still-hanging checkpoint). Same shape as the #4104
self-exit regression: spawn the exact served body, observe liveness past the
chunk bound and natural exit — no elapsed-value assertions.

* fix(#4105): park the #3889 hang fixture on a settling timer

The never-settling promise held no libuv handle, so the hang T1/T4 rely on
was a property of the runtime's test-runner shutdown behavior, not of the
fixture: v24/v26 happen to hold the loop open; v22-class runtimes exit rc=1
after ~60ms (# cancelled 1), so the chunk never reaches the timeout path and
the two timeout assertions assert nothing. Park on a settling 10s timer (the
#4104 idiom): an explicit handle makes the hang the fixture's on every Node
line, 10s >> the 2000ms chunk bound (margin asserted structurally in the
#4105 guard), ~0% CPU while parked, and guaranteed self-termination if a
kill orphans it. Behavior on the Node 24 matrix line is unchanged — the
chunk is still killed by the harness timeout (~2006ms) with the identical
diagnostic.

* test(#4105): drive the fixture guard off the child's exit event + runner timeout

Review-driven restructure (Memtrace flaky_test_fixed_sleep on the 200ms poll
interval): the guard now waits on the child's natural 'exit' event — no
polling interval, no hand-rolled watchdog setTimeout. The immortal-body bound
is the node:test per-test { timeout: 2 * HANG_PARK_MS } backstop, the
health-validation #663 house pattern and the no-elapsed-assertion-compliant
form. t.after still reaps the child on every path. Same failing-first arms:
still-hanging checkpoint, natural-exit (no signal), exit code 0.

* feat(#3777): dispatch chunked mode's per-plan planners concurrently within a Wave

Adds opt-in planning.chunked_parallel (default false, byte-identical to the
existing serial loop). When true and the runtime's negotiated dispatch
capacity (dispatch-capacity, #3673) is greater than 1, chunked planning's
per-plan Tasks that share one outline Wave are issued together instead of
one at a time; a later Wave still waits for the current one to be verified
on disk and committed. A host with no declared maxConcurrency (most
non-Claude runtimes today) stays serial regardless of the setting.

Resolution and the Plan-ID dedup guard live in chunked-planning-mode.md
itself (gated on the section's own CHUNKED_MODE skip-check) rather than in
plan-phase.md, so a non-chunked run pays no extra gsd_run calls.

* test(#3777): repoint extraction at chunked-planning-mode.md after the move

CHUNKED_PARALLEL resolution moved out of plan-phase.md into
chunked-planning-mode.md itself (see the preceding commit); update the
test's extraction path and header comment to match.

* fix(#3777): relocate the canonical runtime-launcher preamble before its first use

The CHUNKED_PARALLEL resolution block's two gsd_run calls landed earlier in
the file than the sole existing preamble (in the commit step), which
tests/runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs's (B) check requires to precede every
gsd_run call in the file. Move the preamble (not duplicate it) to the top of
the resolution block; the commit step's fenced block now just calls
gsd_run directly.

Caught by the GREEN checkpoint gsd-test run before push.

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

* fix(#3777): strip the canonical preamble from the extracted resolution block

The CHUNKED_PARALLEL resolution fence now carries the relocated
runtime-launcher preamble as its first line (previous commit). Extracting
the whole fence and running it after the test's own gsd_run stub let the
embedded preamble's own resolver logic `unset -f gsd_run` and exit 1 before
reaching the resolution logic, since no real gsd-tools.cjs exists in the
temp script dir — every test calling runChunkedParallelResolution() failed.

Strip the preamble (sourced from gsd-core/workflows/_runtime-launcher.snippet.sh,
the same file scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs treats as canonical) before
splicing in the stub, so this suite tests only the resolution logic it is
actually about.

Caught by the post-rebase gsd-test run before push.

* docs(#3777): add the How-To page the phase gate requires

Enablement is 2 commands (config-set, then --chunked), which this repo's
own doc-quadrant gate flags as how-to-owed: a reference table cannot carry
a sequence. Covers enablement, the dispatch-capacity gate's honest
"most runtimes today: no effect" case, and the two accepted trade-offs.

An earlier reasoning pass (recorded in .gsd/phase/.../70-docs.json before
this commit) had incorrectly claimed #3034 shipped with no equivalent
how-to page, as precedent for skipping one here. That claim was false —
docs/how-to/enable-parallel-reviewer-lanes.md exists and is indexed. The
phase gate caught the omission before merge; corrected here.

1db726ebbf feat(#3806): canonize the Review Dispositions Ledger contract (#4345)
* test(#3806): add parity tests for the Review Dispositions Ledger contract

Failing-first: asserts references/planner-reviews.md, workflows/plan-phase.md,
and agents/gsd-plan-checker.md agree on a single canonical "Review Dispositions
Ledger" heading, its round-scoping, L##@{sha} anchor format, and append-only
supersession rule. These fail until the canon and its two references are added.

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

* feat(#3806): canonize the Review Dispositions Ledger contract

Promote the existing planner-reviews.md Step 4 return-payload tables
(Review Feedback Addressed/Deferred) into a canonical `## Review
Dispositions Ledger` PLAN.md section, stated once in planner-reviews.md
and referenced (not restated) from plan-phase.md's
<review_incorporation_contract> and gsd-plan-checker.md's Review
Incorporation dimension. Adds round-scoping (`### Round {N} —
{REVIEWS_sha}`), a `L##@{sha}` line-anchor format so a REVIEWS.md
reference survives the file being rewritten each round, and an
append-only supersession rule. Scoped to part 1 only per the
maintainer's approved-feature verdict — the deterministic lint/check
verb (part 2) is explicitly deferred to a follow-up.

Also: ADR-3806 recording the decision, a docs/features/ fragment
(FEATURES.md is generated), and a changeset fragment.

Closes #3806

* fix(#3806): fenced-example count bug and lint findings from review

- tests/plan-review-convergence.test.cjs: the "heading exactly once"
  test counted the canonical heading text globally, so it also matched
  the illustrative fenced-code example in planner-reviews.md that shows
  the same heading as sample content, always failing 2 !== 1. Rewritten
  as a bounded line scanner that skips fenced blocks (found by an
  isolated adversarial review pass). Also bounded an unbounded regex
  quantifier over readFileSync content flagged by
  local/no-unbounded-quantifier.

Trims the plan-phase.md / gsd-plan-checker.md reference-cite text to a
single short clause pointing at gsd-core/references/planner-reviews.md
(also fixes the bare `references/planner-reviews.md` cite the #3576

their SIZE hard caps and the plan-phase.md phase6 shrink-only baseline.
Both files still grow slightly versus origin/next, acknowledged below
per ADR-2719's emitted-drift-ack contract.

* fix(#3806): correct malformed Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth trailer block

The previous commit's two Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth trailers were
separated from the Co-Authored-By trailer by a blank line, so git's
own trailer parser (which tests/helpers/emitted-runtime.cjs reads via
`%(trailers:key=...)`) only recognized the last contiguous block
(Co-Authored-By) and treated the Ack-Growth lines as ordinary body
text — invisible to the emitted-attribution gate, not malformed data.
Restating them here as one contiguous trailer block, git log over the
PR range aggregates trailers from every commit, so this is additive.

* fix(#3806): isolate the ack-trailer paragraph as its own trailer block

Git's trailer parser requires the trailer paragraph to be the message's
final paragraph, preceded by a blank line, and to contain nothing but
trailer-shaped lines. The prior commit's blank line before the trailer
lines was missing, which folded the leading Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth
lines into an ordinary prose paragraph.

ea91268d02 ci(#4335): shard release.yml rc/finalize unit-suite tests (#4338)
* ci(#4335): shard release.yml rc/finalize unit-suite tests

The finalize job's unsharded unit-coverage step outgrew the 30-minute job
timeout that was already raised once for this exact symptom (#2280): run
33988966357 finished all tests with 0 failures at 28m26s, then got cancelled
~80s into the post-test coverage merge — a phase that historically completes
in 54-101s. The suite's wall-clock time, not a hang, ate the budget.

test.yml already fixed the identical cliff for its own full-scope lane
(#2952, #3057) by sharding the unit suite 3 ways with a separate merged
coverage-gate job. Apply the same pattern to rc and finalize (rc has the
byte-identical unsharded shape and would hit the same wall next): each gains
a `*-test` matrix job (raw coverage only, no report/gate) and a
`*-coverage-gate` job that merges the shards' raw V8 dumps before enforcing
the existing gsd-core/bin/lib coverage floor. rc/finalize now depend on their
gate job instead of running the suite inline.

Updates release-coverage-scope.test.cjs's exact-count assertion for the new
command surface and adds release-shard-lane-sharding.test.cjs to pin
shard-set completeness and gate wiring, mirroring ci-full-lane-sharding.test.cjs.

* fix(#4335): close CodeQL cache-poisoning and missing-permissions findings

CodeQL flagged the PR (10 actions/cache-poisoning/poisonable-step errors, 4
actions/missing-workflow-permissions warnings) on release.yml.

Remove `cache: 'npm'` from every actions/setup-node step in the file (7
occurrences, not just the 4 newly-added jobs the alerts pointed at) —
restoring an npm cache before running install/build code in a
write-permissioned job is exactly the shape this query targets, and the
same pattern was already present unchanged in create/rc/finalize. These are
short CI/release jobs; losing npm's install cache costs a few seconds per
job, closing the finding everywhere it appears in this file rather than
only where the alert happened to land on a changed line.

Add explicit `permissions: contents: read` to rc-test, rc-coverage-gate,
finalize-test, finalize-coverage-gate — the four new jobs had no
permissions block at all and inherited the ambient default. Matches
validate-version's existing least-privilege pattern; create/rc/finalize
keep their own broader write/publish scopes unchanged.

c20675cc4d fix(#3819): widen executor's pre-commit guard beyond worktree mode (#4343)
* fix(#3819): widen executor's pre-commit guard beyond worktree mode

The pre-commit protected-branch assertion in the executor agent (#2924)
only fired inside a Claude Code worktree and matched a hardcoded
five-name branch list. It never ran in an ordinary checkout and never
covered this repo's own default branch ("next"), so gsd-executor could
commit planning-repo documents directly onto a shared checkout's
default branch with no PR ever created.

Widen the guard to run in every isolation mode, and resolve the
protected branch via the repository's actual default branch (with the
existing five-name list retained as a fallback when the resolver
itself cannot be invoked) plus any configured git.protected_branches.
Add a git.allow_default_branch_commits escape hatch for projects that
intentionally execute on their default branch. Also point the
separate <final_commit> commit helper back at the same guard, so it
cannot be sidestepped by that path.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-executor.md — widened pre-commit protected-branch guard (#3819); tightened comments to stay under the size cap.

Extends the opt-in Conventional Commits hook with a hooks.commit_types

before reaching the compiled regex, so a config entry can never alter
the pattern's structure. The regex alternation, the human-readable
error text, and a new typed valid_types JSON field all derive from one
list instead of the two hand-synced copies this replaces.

2f920c5af3 fix(#4097): evidence preservation no longer sweeps the run's own input copies into .review-diagnostics/ (#4329)
* test(#4097): failing-first regression — run input copies swept into .review-diagnostics

The present_results preserve+cleanup glob `_DIAG_MD=( "$RUN_DIR"/gsd-review-*.md )`
matches both lane outputs and the run's own assembled input copies (prompt,
instructions, roadmap, per-plan copies, project/context/research/requirements,
per-lane trimmed prompts) because both share the gsd-review- prefix.

Seed the full input-copy set into the existing runWriteReviewsFlow fixture and
assert (a) the diagnostics dir holds exactly the lane report + .err sidecar and
no input basenames, and (b) an inputs-only run creates no diagnostics dir at all
and still cleans up. Both RED against the shipped block.

* fix(#4097): preserve lane output only — exclude the run's input copies from evidence

The preserve+cleanup glob treated every gsd-review-*.md in RUN_DIR as lane
evidence, but the workflow itself writes the run's assembled INPUTS there under
the same prefix (prompt, instructions, roadmap, per-plan copies, project/
context/research/requirements, per-lane trimmed prompts). Filter _DIAG_MD by
basename against that closed input set instead.

Direct glob iteration + case filter — identical under bash and zsh (#4099/
#4109), nullglob-safe (#2962), and the exclusion list is closed and owned in
this step: a future input basename cannot silently rejoin the evidence set.
Lane reports, diagnostic stubs and non-empty .err sidecars are unchanged.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: review.md — #4097 narrows the present_results evidence-preservation glob: the closed input-basename exclusion list (case filter) plus its rationale note are deliberate additions so a future input basename cannot silently rejoin the evidence set.

1017898cb9 fix(#3771): make remediation examples non-binding and surface revision conflicts (#3916)
* fix(#3771): separate the binding property from the advisory remediation

Checker findings fused "what property failed" with "how to fix it" into a
single `fix_hint` and never marked which half binds. The checker rendered
every hint under a "must fix" heading, the orchestrators injected the issues
verbatim and ordered targeted updates, and the shared revision references
mapped each hint to a prescriptive strategy — so a contract-following planner
applied a hint literally even when a smaller mechanism satisfied the same
property, or when the hint contradicted a locked decision. There was no
channel to report that conflict, and every attempt burned a revision
iteration.

Checker side: every issue now carries a binding `required_property` (the
invariant that failed) plus its evidence and severity, and `fix_hint` is
labelled non-binding wherever it appears — including the human-facing blocker
rendering, so "must fix" unambiguously names the property and never the
example.

Planner side: revision re-checks locked decisions, capability guidance and
existing plan constraints before editing; satisfying a blocker through a
smaller valid alternative counts as addressing it; and a hint that conflicts
with any of those returns `REVISION_CONFLICT` carrying the conflict and the
alternatives considered. Orchestrators route that to user choice or the
configured plan-review convergence loop without consuming retry budget.

Also applied to the UI-spec revision loop and the gap-plan hint, and the
generic pattern's stray `suggested_fix` field name is reconciled to the
plan-checker's `fix_hint`.

Nothing legitimately binding is weakened: blockers still block, severity
still gates, iteration caps and stall escalation still fire, and required
task fields and decision coverage still hold.

Refs #3771

* test(#3771): pin the binding/advisory split across the revision chain

Locks the separation at every link that carries it: the checker's issue
schema and blocker rendering, the planner's constraint re-check and
REVISION_CONFLICT return, the generic pattern's reconciled field names, and
each orchestrator's conflict routing without retry-budget consumption. Also
pins what must not have been weakened — blockers, severity gating, iteration
caps and stall escalation.

Red against the pre-fix prose: 32 of 34 assertions fail (the 2 that pass are
the preservation checks, correctly).

Refs #3771

* chore(#3771): add changeset fragment for the remediation-binding fix

* chore(#3771): acknowledge the remediation-binding growth

Five runtime-loaded files grow: the two checkers carry the binding/advisory
split where the model reads it (a `required_property` on every dimension
example, since a schema the examples contradict teaches the examples), and
the three orchestrators carry the REVISION_CONFLICT route, which has to live
with the `iteration_count`/`revision_count` state it declines to spend.

Deletes tests/emitted-drift-acks/3172-stated-failing-direction.json: it is
fully spent on next and still owned plan-phase.md, so it walls off a key it
can no longer clear (#3078). Its removal is the documented remedy for the
duplicate-key collision, not drive-by cleanup.

* fix(#3771): close the review gaps in the conflict contract

Adversarial review (Codex, Antigravity) found four real defects in the first
pass, each confirmed against the source before acting:

- The UI checker's structured return still ordered `Fix: {exact fix required}`
  and "list each BLOCK dimension with exact fix required". The dimension
  examples had been marked non-binding but the rendering the researcher
  actually reads had not — the same omission this issue is about.
- `ui-phase` and the canonical `revision-loop` flow incremented their counter
  BEFORE dispatching the reviser, so "do NOT increment on REVISION_CONFLICT"
  was unreachable prose: the iteration was already spent. The increment now
  sits on the return path in both.
- The conflict gate offered "accept as-is", which is an early exit from a
  still-failing blocker — a weakening the brief explicitly forbids. The three
  options are now adopt an alternative / override the constraint / amend the
  constraint; every one resolves the conflict. Accepting an unaddressed blocker
  remains available only at the unchanged iteration-cap escalation.
- The convergence route was declarative: nothing in
  plan-review-convergence.md could receive a conflict. plan-phase now records
  it in REVIEWS.md — the channel that loop already consumes — convergence
  refuses to declare convergence over an open entry, and routing back into a
  run convergence itself started is explicitly excluded as a cycle. `quick` has
  no REVIEWS.md and no phase, so its convergence branch was dead prose and is
  deleted in favour of asking the user.

Also reconciles the last two drifted field names (`finding`, `affected_field`)
to the plan-checker schema, and repairs a silent no-op: the few-shot
`required_property` insertion never applied because those lines are
blockquoted, and the test's own block filter was anchored on indentation only,
so a vacuous loop passed over zero blocks. Both are fixed and the filter now
asserts it found blocks.

Refs #3771

* chore(#3771): extend the growth acknowledgment for the review round

plan-review-convergence.md joins the list: the conflict route needed a
receiving end, and it lands on the seam that loop already reads (REVIEWS.md)
rather than a new mechanism. The plan-phase, ui-phase and gsd-ui-checker
entries gain the second-pass reasoning — an executable convergence branch, the
increment moved onto the return path, and the structured return that still
ordered an exact fix.

* fix(#3771): make the conflict route bounded, ordered, and owned

Round-2 adversarial review found five more defects, each confirmed in the
source before acting:

- The convergence gate sat AFTER `gsd_run state planned-phase` and the success
  banner, so a run could write and announce convergence over an unresolved
  conflict. OPEN_CONFLICTS is now read from REVIEWS.md and is part of the
  converged CONDITION, evaluated before any write.
- plan-phase's cycle-exclusion ("unless this run was invoked by convergence")
  was not a question the orchestrator can answer at runtime. plan-phase now
  never invokes convergence at all — it records the conflict when a phase
  REVIEWS.md exists and resolves it with the user in-place, which removes the
  cycle instead of describing it.
- Closure had no owner. plan-phase writes the row, so plan-phase strikes it
  resolved; convergence only reads. An open row is a live blocker, never a
  stale artifact.
- Declining to increment the counter removed the only bound on the conflict
  path: an agent returning the same conflict forever would loop unattended. A
  conflict naming the same `required_property` twice in a row is now a stall
  and escalates through the existing gate.
- verify-work's gap-plan revision loop hands `<revision_context>` to
  gsd-planner and so inherits the whole contract, but stated none of it and
  could not handle the conflict return. It is now covered like the others, and
  is in the test's orchestrator table.

Refs #3771

* chore(#3771): acknowledge the round-2 growth

verify-work.md joins the list — the flow the second review found missed — and
the plan-phase, ui-phase and plan-review-convergence entries gain the
round-2 reasoning: the gate moved ahead of the state write, the convergence
hand-off replaced with a runtime-checkable record-and-resolve, and the
recurrence bound that replaces the counter the conflict path stopped spending.

* fix(#3771): make the convergence gate countable and stop the conflict fall-through

Third adversarial round (Antigravity) found three defects:

- The OPEN_CONFLICTS pipeline had no `grep -v '~~'` despite its own comment
  claiming one, and `grep -c '^| '` also counts a markdown table's header and
  separator rows — every resolved conflict would have read as open and
  convergence would have deadlocked instead of converging. plan-phase now
  records each conflict as a `- [ ]` checklist line and flips it to `- [x]`, so
  the gate is an exact fixed-string match with no table parsing.
- "then continue below" fell through to the checker spawn, so a SECOND
  REVISION_CONFLICT would have been handed to the checker as though it were a
  revised plan. plan-phase, quick and verify-work now re-evaluate the return
  from the top of the conflict handler; ui-phase already looped back.
- revision-loop.md still described plan-phase routing a conflict to the
  convergence loop instead of asking — the behaviour round 2 removed. Recording
  is now stated as being in addition to asking, never instead of it.

Refs #3771

* chore(#3771): bring the changeset in line with what shipped

Two review rounds widened the change after the fragment was written:
verify-work's gap-plan revision and the convergence loop are covered, two
more drifted field names are reconciled, and the conflict path carries an
explicit recurrence bound.

* fix(#3771): declare and emit the REVISION_CONFLICT marker

check:contract-drift on CI caught what local lint never reached: four
workflows dispatch on `## REVISION_CONFLICT`, but no agent declared or emitted
it — an orphan consumer, matching a marker nothing produces. The shared
reference (planner-revision.md Step 7b) described the return; the agent
definitions did not carry it.

gsd-planner and gsd-ui-researcher now emit the marker in-fence alongside their
other return markers, and both registry rows in agent-contracts.md declare it.
gsd-planner's Consumed by gains the two workflows that dispatch on it and were
missing from the row.

The gate is right: a return contract belongs where the agent is defined, not
only in a reference the agent happens to load.

Refs #3771

* chore(#3771): acknowledge the return-marker growth

gsd-planner.md and gsd-ui-researcher.md each gain the REVISION_CONFLICT
marker that check:contract-drift requires them to emit.

* fix(#3771): hoist the shared conflict protocol out of the workflows

Two CI failures, both correct gates:

- tests/few-shot-calibration.test.cjs pins the plan-checker calibration file
  at exactly 4 examples (2 positive, 2 negative). The example added in the
  first pass broke that balance — and described PLANNER behaviour in the
  CHECKER's calibration set, which is the wrong surface for it. Removed; the
  smaller-alternative rule is already normative in gsd-plan-checker.md and
  planner-revision.md, and pinned by the regression suite.
- tests/phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs (ADR-857 phase 6, #1168) requires
  plan-phase.md to stay BELOW its pre-phase-6 baseline of 94519 bytes. The
  inline conflict block pushed it to 94988.

The fix for the second is the one that should have been made first: the
record/resolve/close protocol and the recurrence bound were identical in four
workflows, and revision-loop.md — which plan-phase already @-imports — is what
a shared contract is for. The protocol now lives there once; plan-phase states
only its bindings (which counter, which artifact, which next step) and points
at it. plan-phase.md: 94988 -> 92739, under the ratchet with headroom, and the
four-way duplication is gone.

quick, ui-phase and verify-work do not import the reference, so they keep their
inline statements. The suite asserts each rule against what the runtime
actually loads for that orchestrator, not against the file in isolation.

Refs #3771

* docs(#3771): state the shared-protocol relationship accurately

Three of the four revision-bearing workflows do not @-import revision-loop.md,
so 'follows it verbatim' overstated the coupling. Only plan-phase defers; the
others restate the rules inline and this section is the authority they must
agree with.

* refactor(#3771): name the authority instead of restating it four times

Self-review finding: the same ~700-byte reviser paragraph was inlined in four
prompts while gsd-planner already loads planner-revision.md whenever
<revision_context> is present (agents/gsd-planner.md:555, :588) — a fifth copy
of the same contract. Four places to edit in lockstep is precisely the drift
class this PR exists to fix; the generic pattern calling the field
suggested_fix while the checker emitted fix_hint is what that looks like after
a year.

Each prompt now carries only the load-bearing clauses and names the authority
it summarises. Deliberately NOT reduced to a bare pointer: these are LLM
prompts, and a contract stated only in a file the reader is supposed to fetch
is the failure mode of this very bug. The saving is modest (~50 bytes each) —
the point is the named source of truth, not the bytes.

Suite: dropped seven assertions that pinned heading text and bold-lead
phrasing a reword would break without changing what the runtime is told; their
neighbours already pin the same contract by content. 519 -> 499 lines, 61
tests. Red gate against origin/next: 56 of 61 fail.

Refs #3771

* fix(#3771): sanitize agent-authored conflict text and bound total conflicts

Cross-AI review (agy/Gemini) raised two security findings. I confirmed the
first by running the gate's own awk against a crafted file and reproduced it
exactly; the second is a real hole in my bound.

1. FAIL-OPEN in the convergence gate. The conflict text is agent-authored and
   is appended to REVIEWS.md, which the gate scans with an awk that stops at
   the next '## ' heading. One line of agent text beginning '## ' ends that
   scan early, so conflicts below it are never counted and convergence declares
   success over a live blocker. Measured: 3 open conflicts, awk returned 2.

   Fixed at the write boundary, which is the trust boundary: every field has
   newlines and tabs collapsed to spaces and a leading '#', '-', '|' or fence
   stripped, so one conflict is exactly one line. Both producing agents now
   declare their fields single-line plain text, and the reader states the
   invariant it depends on so a later edit cannot silently break it. Verified:
   3 open + 1 resolved now counts 3; missing file and absent section count 0.

2. The recurrence bound was 'same required_property twice in a row', which an
   agent alternating property names never trips, leaving the un-incremented
   conflict path unbounded. Now bounded twice: the repeat rule catches the
   common case, and the THIRD conflict return of a loop escalates whatever
   property it names. A conflict still never consumes a revision iteration;
   this cap is separate from and additional to the revision cap.

Rejected from the same review: deleting 'a planner that reaches
required_property by a smaller or different mechanism has addressed the issue
in full' from the CHECKER prompt as misplaced. It is load-bearing exactly
there. A checker that does not know a different mechanism counts will re-flag
the issue on re-check, which is the revision loop that never terminates. The
argument offered for deleting it, that the checker evaluates the new state
independently, describes the failure mode.

Refs #3771

* fix(#3771): fail closed on an unverifiable convergence gate

Second cross-AI pass (agy, this time with the full files rather than the diff)
found two more, both real:

1. The gate read REVIEWS_FILE with `2>/dev/null || echo 0`, so an unreadable or
   empty path counted as ZERO open conflicts and converged. That path is
   resolved a few lines earlier by a pre-existing unquoted
   `ls ${phase_dir}/${padded_phase}-REVIEWS.md` (line 346, not touched by this
   PR), which yields an empty string rather than an error when the path
   contains a space. Unverifiable is not clean: the gate now tests -z and -r
   first and BLOCKS. Verified both branches.

   The unquoted ls itself is left alone deliberately — it predates this change
   and belongs to the reviews lookup, not the conflict gate. Fixing it at my
   own boundary removes its effect on this gate without widening scope.

2. REVIEWS.md is writable by the review agent, which could flip a `- [ ]` to
   `- [x]` or delete the section and forge the state of a blocking gate. The
   section now declares a single writer: /gsd:plan-phase appends and closes,
   every other agent leaves it byte-for-byte alone, readers read.

Also trimmed a clause that explained the increment ordering by reference to
what the file said before this PR. Commit history is not instruction, and
these files are prompts.

Rejected: the claim that quick's conflict gate deadlocks autonomous pipelines
by asking the user. Its existing max-iteration escalation in the same file
already asks the user the same way; this adds no new interaction class.
Noted but out of scope: the per-dimension YAML example blocks and the shim
boilerplate duplicated across agent prompts both predate this change.

Refs #3771

* fix(#3771): count conflicts by line shape, not by section

CodeRabbit review on the rehearsal PR. Five findings, all valid, all applied.

The best one is a deletion. The convergence gate scanned between
'## Plan-Revision Conflicts' and the next '## ' heading, and that scan stops at
the FIRST heading it meets — so one stray '## ' line hid every conflict beneath
it and returned 0, converging over a live blocker. Reproduced: section-scan 0,
shape-scan 1. Sanitizing at the write boundary does not cover a hand-edited,
legacy, or foreign-written REVIEWS.md, so the reader needed its own guarantee.

It now matches the conflict line SHAPE anywhere in the file:

  grep -c '^- \[ \] .*required_property:'

No section bookkeeping, nothing a heading can truncate, and it composes with the
writer's sanitization (which strips a leading '-' from agent text, so agent prose
cannot forge the shape). Verified: injected heading -> 1, all resolved -> 0.

The other four:

- Both checkers told the author never to emit a contradictory fix_hint, then
  offered an escape hatch that put the forbidden route in the hint anyway. They
  now name NO route in that case and state only that the property conflicts with
  the constraint. A hint carrying a forbidden route is applied by anyone who
  trusts hints.
- The REVISION_CONFLICT marker description in gsd-planner.md was narrower than
  planner-revision.md: it covered a contradictory hint but not an unreachable
  required_property. A planner reading only the agent file would have burned
  retry budget on the case the reference routes to a conflict.
- The few-shot calibration examples used uppercase BLOCKER/INFO while the schema
  defines blocker/warning/info. Pre-existing, but it is the same schema-vs-example
  disagreement this PR exists to end, and the file was already being edited.
- verify-work's re-entry instruction existed but sat after the Bounded clause, so
  the paragraph read "re-spawn ... stop re-spawning ... after re-spawning". The
  re-entry now immediately follows the re-spawn, and states that only a
  non-conflict return may reach the checker or increment iteration_count.

Refs #3771

* fix(#3771): resolve the contradictory scope_sanity severity examples

Sixth CodeRabbit finding, posted outside the diff range and missed on my first
read — I had claimed all findings were addressed after reading only the five
inline comments. This one was in the review body.

agents/gsd-plan-checker.md carried TWO scope_sanity examples with identical
metrics (5 tasks, 12 files) and OPPOSITE severities: warning in Dimension 5,
blocker in <examples>. Line 872 states "2-3 tasks/plan good, 4 warning, 5+
blocker" and the severity table lists warning as "Scope 4 tasks (borderline)",
so the warning example contradicted both.

ADR-2629 Decision 5's "over budget is a WARNING, never a blocker" does not
excuse it: that rule governs the smart-zone TOKEN estimate (the estimate-check
verb, lines 299-306), which is a different axis from task count. Verified in
source before touching it.

The contradiction is pre-existing but this PR made it binding and visible:
severity is now declared part of the binding payload, and both examples were
given the same required_property, so they now disagree on the severity of an
identical finding about an identical property.

Deviating from the proposed correction, which was warning -> blocker: that
would duplicate the <examples> entry outright (same tasks, files, severity).
The Dimension 5 example is instead made a genuine 4-task borderline warning, so
the file keeps one worked example per severity and the thresholds, the severity
table and both examples finally agree.

Refs #3771

* fix(#3771): stop laundering a grep error into zero open conflicts

Seventh CodeRabbit finding — from a SECOND review round my own CR-4 push
triggered, which I had not looked for. This one is a regression I introduced
while fixing the previous fail-open.

CR-4 replaced the truncatable section scan with:

  OPEN_CONFLICTS=$(grep -c '^- \[ \] .*required_property:' "$REVIEWS_FILE" || true)

`|| true` masks every grep failure. grep exits 1 for "no matches" (a legitimate
zero) but 2 for a read error, and `|| true` turns both into an empty capture
that `${OPEN_CONFLICTS:-0}` renders as 0. If REVIEWS.md is removed or becomes
unreadable between the -r check and the scan, the gate reports no conflicts and
convergence proceeds. Proven: unreadable file -> captured empty -> 0.

The status is now inspected, and only exit 1 counts as zero; anything else
blocks.

My first attempt at this fix was itself wrong and my own harness caught it: I
wrote `if ! grep ...; then grep_status=$?`, but `!` inverts the status, so `$?`
in that branch is 0 and every failure reads as success — the clean-file case
printed "BLOCKED (grep exit 0)". The status must be read in the ELSE branch of a
non-negated `if`, which is what CodeRabbit proposed. Both traps are now pinned
by tests.

Verified end to end: all resolved -> 0, no conflicts at all -> 0, injected
heading -> 1, unreadable file -> BLOCKED with grep exit 2.

Refs #3771

* test(#3771): execute the conflict gate instead of reading it

CodeRabbit round three: 0 actionable, 1 nitpick — "these assertions inspect
Markdown source only; they do not prove that grep status 1 produces zero
conflicts or that a scan error exits before convergence." Rated Trivial. It is
the most valuable finding of the three rounds.

This gate has been wrong three times: a section scan a heading could truncate, a
`|| true` that laundered grep's error status into zero, and an `if !` whose `$?`
reported the negation rather than the command. Every one of those passed the
text assertions that existed at the time. I proved each fix by hand in a shell,
and none of that proof lived in the suite.

The gate is one self-contained fenced block, so the test now extracts it from
the workflow — located by content, not line number — writes it to a script and
RUNS it against fixtures: two open plus one resolved counts 2; no matches counts
0 and does not fail; a conflict below an injected `## ` heading still counts; an
unreadable path and an empty path both BLOCK with a non-zero status and no zero
count on stdout.

Non-vacuity proven by mutation rather than asserted. Reverting the gate to each
of its three historical broken forms reds the suite:

  section-scan awk  -> 7 failures (5 in the gate cases)
  || true           -> 4 failures (3 in the gate cases)
  if ! (negated $?) -> 4 failures (3 in the gate cases)
  restored          -> 69 pass, 0 fail

The prose assertions stay: they are the right instrument for a prompt. This
covers the one part of the change that is real shell an orchestrator executes.

Refs #3771

* test(#3771): route the gate harness through the shared test helpers

ESLint's project rules caught three violations in the new harness: an unbounded
execFileSync (DEFECT.UNBOUNDED-SUBPROCESS — an unbounded spawn is an indefinite
hang, and on macOS CI that is how a stuck run stops reporting instead of failing)
and two raw fs.rmSync calls, which skip the Windows-EBUSY retry budget that
helpers.cleanup carries.

Now uses createTempDir/cleanup from tests/helpers.cjs and passes an explicit
30s timeout. Suppressing the rules was available and would have been the wrong
call: both exist because of real CI failure modes on platforms I am not testing
on.

Load the current-base progressive-disclosure examples so every integrated issue remains bound by required_property after branch reconciliation.

* test(#3916): skip the extracted-gate suite's bash spawns on win32

Third review round's sole survivor: runConflictGate()/withReviews() spawn
bash against a Node-native temp path built by createTempDir(), which is
backslash-separated on the Windows CI lane and not a path Git Bash is
guaranteed to accept (DEFECT.WINDOWS-TEST-PORTABILITY, matching the
observed CI failure at revision-remediation-binding.test.cjs:844,
ENOENT on a path Windows read as a directory separator). No eslint rule
catches it since the call has neither a chmod nor a `bash -c` form.

Guards the four call sites with the repo's existing skipOnWin32
convention (describe/test `{ skip: IS_WINDOWS }`) rather than
normalizing the harness path to forward slashes, which would defeat the
one test whose purpose is proving the production gate does NOT rewrite
a literal backslash in a POSIX filename.

* fix(#3916): backfill changeset pr field to the fork validation PR number

* fix(#3771): forbid silently accepting an open plan-revision conflict at max-cycles escalation

The max-cycles escalation prompt only surfaced HIGH_COUNT and ACTIONABLE_COUNT; an open
plan-revision conflict (OPEN_CONFLICTS > 0) was never disclosed there, and "Proceed anyway"
could exit successfully over it — exactly the failure mode this PR exists to close (a success
banner over an unresolved conflict nobody resolved). Blockers still block: withhold "Proceed
anyway" and route to Manual review whenever a conflict is open.

* fix(#3771): do not hard-block REVISION_CONFLICT persistence when no REVIEWS.md exists yet

A phase's first-ever revision cycle can return REVISION_CONFLICT before any REVIEWS.md has been
written — REVIEWS_PATH is then legitimately empty, not a corrupt or deleted file. The persistence
gate's own accompanying prose already says the record channel applies 'when REVIEWS_FILE is
non-empty', but the bash condition never checked that, so it hard-blocked every conflict on a
brand-new phase regardless of whether persistence was even expected to run. Require a non-empty
REVIEWS_FILE before treating a missing file as an error.

* chore(#3771): raise the plan-phase.md ADR-857 host-loop ceiling to 96700

The frozen pre-phase-6 ceiling (94519) collided on rebase: this PR's own
REVISION_CONFLICT persistence/routing gate is core planner control flow, not an
un-extracted optional feature, and landed alongside an unrelated, already-merged
same-file growth (the #4.6 context-drift pre-check) already on next. Same
rationale #1298 already established for execute-phase.md's ceiling.

* chore(#3916): backfill changeset pr field to the upstream PR number

* fix(#3771): make the writer-side REVISION_CONFLICT sanitize step real shell

The Conflict Return record channel sanitized agent-authored fields via a
prose instruction ("Sanitize each agent-authored field before appending")
for the orchestrator LLM to apply by hand, while the reader-side gate in
plan-review-convergence.md parses the same slot with real, executed awk.
Flagged Minor across two review rounds (round 4, round 6) since no code
performed the sanitize anywhere.

plan-phase.md's Conflict Return step now runs a real bash gate: sanitize
each field (collapse newline/tab to space, strip a leading #/-/|/fence),
build the one-line record, skip the append if an identical line already
exists (idempotent), insert before the writer-owned end delimiter, and
fail closed if that delimiter is missing rather than silently dropping
the conflict.

tests/revision-remediation-binding.test.cjs extracts and RUNS the new
fence (matching how the reader gate is already tested), composing it
with the existing reader gate: hostile-field fast-check fuzzing, a
repeated-conflict idempotency check, and a missing-delimiter fail-closed
check that the file is left byte-for-byte unchanged on failure.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: plan-phase.md — #3916 turns the writer-side
REVISION_CONFLICT sanitize+insert step into real, executed shell instead
of a prose instruction, matching the reader gate's existing rigor

* fix(#3916): backfill changeset pr field to the fork validation PR number

Fork CI's changeset-lint reads the real PR number from its own event
payload; the fragment still carried the upstream number from the last
sync, so the DEFECT.CHANGESET-PR-FIELD-DRIFT check failed on this fork
PR. Re-backfill to the upstream number before the final push.

* fix(#3771): close the awk -v forgery and same-session close gaps agy found

Adversarial review (gemini-3.8-flash-high via the internal agy review
lane) on the full PR found two BLOCKERs against the just-added
writer-side conflict gate:

1. `awk -v line="${LINE}"` decodes escape sequences in its argument, so
   a literal two-character `\n` in agent-authored text became a real
   newline inside awk, splitting the appended record across two
   physical lines. `tr` only strips actual control bytes, so it never
   saw this — it defeated the exact forgery the gate exists to
   prevent, both the reader's zero-count and the writer's own
   idempotency check. Fixed by passing LINE/END through awk's
   ENVIRON, which is not escape-decoded.

2. A conflict resolved and re-spawned within the same plan-phase
   session was never flipped from `- [ ]` to `- [x]` — the record
   channel bullet said "plan-phase closes it," but no step did. Only
   a *separate* `--reviews` re-entry (line ~622, still prose-only)
   closes conflicts; the in-session resolve path left them open
   forever, permanently blocking convergence. Fixed by carrying the
   just-written line in `PENDING_CONFLICT` and closing it in the
   `Otherwise` branch before the checker re-spawns.

Also fixed a MAJOR: docs/COMMANDS.md described the `--max-cycles`
escalation gate as uniformly offering "proceed or review manually,"
but the code (this PR's own change) withholds "Proceed anyway"
specifically when a plan-revision conflict is open — only manual
review is offered in that case. Docs now say so.

Not applied: the reviewer's `\r` truncated to plain tr from a MINOR
that also asked for temp-file permission preservation across `mktemp`.
Applying `chmod --reference` is not portable to macOS/BSD `chmod`, so
this is left as a documented low-severity tradeoff — the temp file now
sits alongside REVIEWS.md (same filesystem, atomic `mv`), which was
the same finding's more substantive half. Also not applied: a
suggested `gsd_run review record-conflict` CLI subcommand to
deduplicate the two `awk` blocks — a new command plus wiring is out of
scope for a review-remediation fix.

tests/revision-remediation-binding.test.cjs adds regression coverage
for both BLOCKERs: a literal-backslash-n hostile field composed with
the reader gate, and a close-gate extraction that verifies the flip to
`[x]`, the reader's count dropping to 0, and a fail-closed path when
the pending line is missing.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: plan-phase.md — #3916 fixes an awk -v escape-
decoding forgery and adds the missing same-session conflict-close step
an adversarial review found in the writer-side gate

Merging origin/next's unrelated growth pushed plan-phase.md 473 bytes
past the workflow-size-budget XL cap and the ADR-857 phase-6 baseline,
both tripped by CI after review approval. Removed an unpinned inert
bash comment and tightened connective prose in three REVISION_CONFLICT
bullets; no executable shell or test-pinned substring changed.

Scratch-only commit for the rehearsal branch's own CI. Will not be

* fix(#3771): address CodeRabbit findings on the REVISION_CONFLICT protocol

Fork rehearsal PR #25's first CodeRabbit pass surfaced 7 findings against
the already-approved #3916 diff; each verified against current code
before fixing (none hallucinated):

- plan-phase.md: writer-side awk gates now strip a trailing \r before
  comparing lines, matching the reader gate (plan-review-convergence.md)
  -- a CRLF REVIEWS.md previously made both writer gates fail closed.
- plan-phase.md: the close-fence's REVIEWS_FILE/PENDING_CONFLICT/
  CONFLICT_RESOLUTION were read without ever being (re)defined in that
  fence -- shell state does not survive across separate fenced blocks
  (same convention already documented in review.md). Added the explicit
  recompute/set instruction.
- revision-loop.md: previous_conflict_property was never reset after a
  normal (non-conflict) revision, so a later, unrelated conflict on the
  same property could be misread as a repeat and escalate prematurely.
- gsd-plan-checker.md / few-shot-examples/plan-checker.md: two example
  required_property strings were unconditionally binding in a way their
  own dimension's rules aren't (no-analog RESEARCH.md fallback; tasks
  that create no functions), now scoped to match.
- quick/steps/plan-checker-loop.md: added the same disjoint
  "Otherwise (not REVISION_CONFLICT)" branch plan-phase.md already had,
  closing an ambiguity between the conflict and non-conflict return paths.
- revision-remediation-binding.test.cjs: the REVIEWS_PATH init-order
  assertion used indexOf() without checking for -1, so it would pass
  vacuously if either anchor were renamed away.

Also restores an "Export the row's CONFLICT_*" instruction I had cut in
the prior byte-budget trim -- checked non-pinned by tests, but it was the
only text telling the agent to set those vars before the awk block reads
them via ENVIRON.

Net growth from these fixes required reclaiming bytes elsewhere in
plan-phase.md (verified against every pinned substring in
revision-remediation-binding.test.cjs) to stay under the XL tier's
hard 98304-byte cap; final size 98245 bytes.

* fix(#3771): resync the #4079 shrink-only mirror to the current PRE_PHASE6 line

tests/plan-phase-background-wait-wakeup.test.cjs (landed on next via an
unrelated #4079 PR, merged in by this branch's next-sync) mirrored
plan-phase.md's phase6 shrink-only ceiling as a hardcoded local constant
(94519) rather than reading tests/phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs's
PRE_PHASE6 value. That value has since been legitimately raised twice
during this PR's own review (94519 -> 96700 -> 98300) to accommodate the
REVISION_CONFLICT persistence/routing gate. The two branches' independent
histories left the mirror stale post-merge -- not a textual git conflict,
but the same class of thing. Resynced to 98300.

* fix(#3771): address round-2 CodeRabbit findings on the conflict gates

CodeRabbit's re-review of the previous remediation commit found two real
issues in what it had already flagged:

- Both writer-side awk CRLF fixes used \`sub(/\r$/, "")\` directly on \`\$0\`,
  which mutates it in place -- \`{ print }\` then emitted the CR-stripped
  copy for every passed-through line, silently rewriting an unrelated
  CRLF REVIEWS.md to LF on any insert or close. Now compares against a
  separate \`cur\` copy and prints the original, untouched \`\$0\`.
- The close-fence's "recompute REVIEWS_FILE/PENDING_CONFLICT" prose
  implied in-fence derivation, but the fence has no such code and the
  test harness (\`runCloseGate\`) deliberately supplies all three as
  pre-set env vars -- matching how the open fence's "Export the row's
  CONFLICT_*" instruction already works. Reworded to "export ... in the
  same invocation", matching that established, test-verified pattern
  instead of promising logic that isn't there.

Added a regression test proving the CRLF fix no longer touches
passthrough lines (red against the mutate-in-place version, green now).

* fix(#3771): use a CRLF-safe check in the new passthrough regression test

local/no-crlf-fragile-split forbids splitting readFileSync content on a
literal \n (Windows git-autocrlf checkouts yield \r\n). My CRLF
passthrough-preservation test from the previous commit did exactly that
to inspect the first line. Replaced with a direct startsWith() check
against the known CRLF-terminated header, which needs no split.

* test(#3771): assert the record itself is inserted in the CRLF passthrough test

CodeRabbit nitpick (round 3): the passthrough-preservation test checked
gate status and the pre-existing line's CRLF ending, but never asserted
the new REVISION_CONFLICT record was actually written.

* fix(#3771): address agy/gemini-3.8-flash-high adversarial review findings

Full-PR adversarial review (internal /gsd-review antigravity lane,
gemini-3.8-flash-high) surfaced 9 findings; each verified against current
code before fixing (none hallucinated):

HIGH:
- quick-batch/steps/plan-checker-loop.md never received the
  required_property/fix_hint binding language or REVISION_CONFLICT
  handling this PR added everywhere else -- a genuinely unmigrated
  producing context. Migrated to match quick/steps/plan-checker-loop.md,
  and added it to the ORCHESTRATORS consistency battery in
  revision-remediation-binding.test.cjs so future drift is caught
  automatically.
- The close-fence's PENDING_CONFLICT was an agent-supplied env var that
  had to exactly reconstruct a five-field sanitized line across a
  multi-minute subagent dispatch -- fragile, and a scalar var also meant
  a second simultaneous conflict silently dropped the first on overwrite.
  Redesigned to match the open conflict by CONFLICT_DIMENSION/
  CONFLICT_PLAN identity instead: the agent re-supplies two short,
  already-tracked identifiers rather than reconstructing the full
  sanitized text, and each conflict resolves independently regardless of
  how many are open. Updated the test harness's runCloseGate contract to
  match, and added a two-open-conflicts regression test.

MEDIUM:
- plan-phase.md's `--reviews` replanning path told the reader to "flip
  the matching line to [x]" in prose only, with no executable path to
  it -- pointed it at the same close gate used in step 12.
- plan-review-convergence.md's reader-gate awk tolerated a blank line
  before the opening delimiter but not before the heading that follows
  it; a formatter or LLM writer inserting one would hard-abort
  convergence on an otherwise well-formed REVIEWS.md. Added the same
  tolerance already granted above it, with a regression test.

LOW:
- Clarified that the escalation destination for a stalled conflict is
  the same iteration/revision-count cap gate already defined in each of
  quick, quick-batch, ui-phase, and verify-work, rather than an
  undefined "stall" concept.
- Clarified "twice in a row" means no successful revision intervened,
  matching revision-loop.md's now-explicit previous_conflict_property
  reset.
- Fixed gsd-ui-researcher.md's stale rationale text, copied verbatim
  from planner-revision.md: ui-phase presents the conflict table
  directly to the user, it does not persist to a shared file scanned by
  heading.

Net growth again required reclaiming bytes in plan-phase.md (verified
against every pinned substring in revision-remediation-binding.test.cjs)
to stay under the XL tier's hard 98304-byte cap; removed a now-dead
PENDING_CONFLICT assignment in the process. Final size 98258 bytes.

* fix(#3771): scope row 48's quick/steps guard away from plan-checker-loop.md

tests/gsd-quick-batch-quick-regression.test.cjs's row 48 (#3676) flagged
this branch's quick-batch/steps/plan-checker-loop.md migration (the agy
HIGH finding) as a violation, because it also edits
quick/steps/plan-checker-loop.md for the same underlying #3771 protocol
fix.

Verified against git history before scoping: 2f64e6230 (#3676's own
landing commit) CREATED quick-batch/steps/plan-checker-loop.md as a new,
independent 119-line file, never a call-site into quick/'s copy. Row
48's "shared primitives, never edits the ordinary quick command" premise
was never about this specific file -- it was always meant to carry its
own per-flow copy of whatever revision-loop contract applies, same as
ui-phase.md/verify-work.md throughout this PR. This is the same
false-positive class the row's own comments already document scoping
away twice (#3730, #2529 round 40); excluded plan-checker-loop.md from
its touched-quick-steps check with the same evidence trail.

* chore(#3771): point changeset pr field at upstream PR 3916

26b8e9abad fix(#4306): forward real bytes through the #3912 A6 stderr-bytes mocks (#4328)
Same defect class as the bug #1008 fault-injection mocks: fabricated
a return byte count without ever calling the real fs.writeSync,
silently discarding any write to fd 2 landing during the mocked
window instead of letting it reach the real pipe.
