- Reads installed version from VERSION file
- Fetches remote changelog from GitHub
- Displays version comparison and missed changes
- Provides update instructions when behind
Remove the global ISSUES.md deferred enhancement tracking system.
- Delete /gsd:consider-issues command (never used)
- Delete issues.md template (never instantiated)
- Remove Rule 5 from deviation rules (never triggered)
- Remove all ISSUES.md, ISS-XXX, and "deferred issues" references
- Update STATE.md to track pending todos instead
The ISSUES.md system was designed to capture non-critical enhancements
during plan execution via "Rule 5", but it never fired in practice
across 100+ projects. The system added ~350 lines of dead code.
The /gsd:add-todo and /gsd:check-todos system serves the same purpose
and is actually used.
Note: UAT *-ISSUES.md files (per-plan, created by /gsd:verify-work)
are unaffected - those are a separate, active system.

- Debug command now orchestrates: gather symptoms in main context, spawn
investigation subagent with fresh 200k context
- Subagent template unified for both /gsd:debug (find_and_fix) and
diagnose-issues (find_root_cause_only) flows via goal flag
- Checkpoint behavior enables subagent to pause for user input
(human-verify, human-action, decision) with continuation agents
- Structured return formats: ROOT CAUSE FOUND, DEBUG COMPLETE,
INVESTIGATION INCONCLUSIVE, CHECKPOINT REACHED
- diagnose-issues updated to match new template placeholders and returns

Define DEBUG_DIR=.planning/debug at top of debug-related files.
Reference ${DEBUG_DIR} throughout to reduce path typo risk.

- Debug files from UAT use same naming as regular debug (slug only)
- UAT.md tracks link via debug_session field
- plan-fix actually invokes execute-plan when user selects it

Diagnosis always produces better fixes and runs in parallel anyway.
Removing the prompt reduces cognitive load.

After UAT finds issues, spawn parallel debug agents to investigate
root causes before planning fixes. Each agent investigates one issue
with symptoms pre-filled from UAT, finds the root cause, and returns
diagnosis.
New files:
- workflows/diagnose-issues.md: Orchestrator for parallel debug agents
- templates/debug-subagent-prompt.md: Prompt template for debug subagents
Modified:
- workflows/debug.md: Add symptoms_prefilled and diagnose-only modes
- workflows/verify-work.md: Offer diagnosis step after issues found
- templates/UAT.md: Add root_cause and debug_session fields
- commands/gsd/plan-fix.md: Use root causes for targeted fix planning
Flow: UAT → diagnose (parallel) → plan-fix (with root causes) → execute

- One test at a time instead of full checklist upfront
- Plain text responses instead of AskUserQuestion forms
- Severity inferred from description, never asked
- Persistent UAT.md survives /clear (like debug workflow)
- Single file per phase replaces per-plan ISSUES.md
- Updated plan-fix to read from UAT.md

Wave numbers now computed during plan-phase and stored in PLAN.md
frontmatter. Execute-phase reads wave directly instead of deriving
from depends_on at runtime.
- Add assign_waves step to plan-phase workflow
- Add wave field to frontmatter (plan-format, phase-prompt template)
- Simplify execute-phase: remove analyze_dependencies and group_into_waves
- Replace with group_by_wave that just reads frontmatter integers

- Fix brownfield example to use execute-phase instead of execute-plan
- Remove /gsd:resume-task command (relies on broken Task resume)
- Checkpoint continuation now uses fresh agents, not resume

execute-phase with parallel agents is the recommended path.
execute-plan is for single-plan or interactive checkpoint handling.

Resume fails when subagents use parallel tool calls due to Claude Code
serialization bug (consecutive assistant entries with same message ID).
Solution: Subagents return structured checkpoint state, orchestrator
spawns fresh agent with continuation-prompt template instead of resuming.
New files:
- templates/checkpoint-return.md: Structured format with completed tasks table
- templates/continuation-prompt.md: Template for spawning continuation agent
Updated:
- templates/subagent-task-prompt.md: Reference checkpoint-return, remove resume language
- workflows/execute-phase.md: Replace Task(resume=id) with fresh agent spawn
- workflows/execute-plan.md: Update checkpoint_return_for_orchestrator step

execute-plan.md command now spawns subagent instead of executing directly:
- Loads only subagent-task-prompt template (~100 lines vs ~2200)
- Subagent loads full execute-plan workflow, summary, checkpoints, tdd
- Handles checkpoint returns with resume flow
- ~80% context reduction for orchestrator
Also updated subagent-task-prompt.md description to clarify it's used by
both execute-phase (parallel) and execute-plan (single) orchestrators.

Scope boundaries are implicit from the roadmap. Asking about them
creates the sensation of scope creep and interrogates the user about
constraints they didn't mention.

Restored context-budget reasoning for why TDD features get dedicated plans:
- TDD requires 2-3 execution cycles consuming 50-60% context
- Test framework setup handled in first TDD plan's RED phase
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- execute-plan.md: Add checkpoint_return_for_orchestrator step
explaining how to return at checkpoints when spawned via Task tool
- subagent-task-prompt.md: Add checkpoint_behavior and completion_format
sections to guide agents on returning for checkpoints
Tested: Task resume works - agent pauses at checkpoint, returns with
details, orchestrator presents to user, resumes with Task(resume=id).
Parallel agents each get unique agent_id for independent resume.
