Tom Boucher	a27cb6b2fa	enhance(#4139): Phase 6 — the lazily-read remainder and the artifact templates (#4540) ... * enhance(#4406): the lazily-read remainder and the artifact templates ADR-4139 Decision 3, Phase 6 of the #4139 Compact Content epic. Covers stream 1b (gsd-core/workflows/<name>/{modes,steps,templates}/*.md) and stream 4 (gsd-core/templates/**) with a variant-swap mechanism, confirmed with the user: two independent, complete files per covered path (canonical + .compact.md sibling), with the gate picking which one gets Read at the call site. This is a different shape from Phase 5's spine+detail partition, and is safe here specifically because these files are already reached only by a runtime Read — a missed Read already means zero overlay content today, with or without workflow.compact_content, so selecting between two independently-complete files introduces no new failure mode (documented in gsd-core/references/compact-content-gate.md's new "Streams 1b and 4" section). Disposition, after inspecting every candidate rather than trusting a byte-size threshold (same rigor Phase 5 applied to review.md): - Stream 1b: 1 of 78 files compacted (help/modes/full.md, a user-facing reference doc emitted verbatim, not orchestrator instruction). The other 9 size-threshold candidates are dominated by fail-closed guards, exact CLI invocations, or output-format contracts (AskUserQuestion blocks) — recorded not-worth-compacting, same reasoning as Phase 5's review.md. - Stream 4: a ground-truth reachability audit replaced the initial size-only candidate list. Two files (summary.md, user-setup.md) got compact variants; a third (spec.md) was drafted, then dropped after discovering its only two call sites are eager @-includes, not a runtime Read — stream-1 material hiding under gsd-core/templates/, not stream-4's actual mechanism. summary.md itself has 3 eager call sites and only 1 genuine runtime-Read call site (execute-plan.md); only that one was wired, so the compact variant's savings apply to the sequential single-plan execution path only. - Discovered while auditing reachability: 12 gsd-core/templates/** files with zero references anywhere in workflow/agent/command prose, compiled source, or tests — dead scaffolding predating this phase. Deleted in this same PR per this repo's no-defer policy, after re-verifying against a computed path.join(...) pattern (not just a plain-string search) that nearly caused two genuinely load-bearing templates (user-profile.md, dev-preferences.md) to be misclassified as dead. New checker (tests/helpers/compact-content-variant.cjs): registration, reachability, protected-content-preserved, size-smaller — replacing Phase 3/5's disjointness/completeness checks, which assume a partition rather than two deliberately-overlapping documents. The reachability check's own "unprefixed match" guard had a real bug (rejected the repo's own `~/.claude/gsd-core/...` convention), caught by running it against the already-wired help/modes/full.compact.md pair rather than only synthetic fixtures — fixed to anchor on the nearest `gsd-core` path segment instead. Template consumer parity (tests/compact-content-template-variant-parity.test.cjs): proves each compact variant's `## File Template` fenced block — the actual output-format contract a generated SUMMARY.md/USER-SETUP.md is parsed against — is byte-identical to the canonical file, then runs the one real deterministic consumer (gsd-core/bin/lib/coverage.cjs's classifyContent, backing `gsd-tools uat classify-coverage`) against content built from that shared contract. Added a sibling benchmark script (scripts/benchmark-compact-content-variants.cjs) rather than extending the existing spine/detail one — different data shape, and the existing script's own contract deliberately isolates it from a test-only helper's shape changing. Emitted-drift acknowledgement: not needed. 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 reaching the ack-lookup branch (same reasoning Phase 5 verified for its own diff). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * enhance(#4406): address code-review findings on the variant-swap gate - docs/CONFIGURATION.md and gsd-core/references/planning-config.md's workflow.compact_content entries described only the spine+detail mechanism (Phase 5) and were missing this phase's variant-swap mechanism and its benchmark:compact-content-variants script entirely — required since this PR's changeset is type Added (CLAUDE.md's "Missing Docs for Changesets" rule). Both now describe both mechanisms and which call sites are wired. - Added the missing RED^-1/no-op fixture for checkProtectedContentPreserved: a canonical file with zero <!-- gsd:protected --> blocks must be a no-op, not a violation — the only branch of that function the existing fixtures didn't exercise. - Collapsed findCompactFiles/findMarkdownFiles in tests/helpers/compact-content-variant.cjs into one findFilesWithSuffix helper — the two were identical recursive walks differing only in the extension predicate (minor Duplicated-Code finding). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#4406): restore copilot-instructions.md, a false-positive dead-template classification gsd-test caught this, not static analysis: 10 real failures in tests/copilot-install.test.cjs, tests/installer-migration-install.integration.test.cjs, and tests/repo-layout.test.cjs — all downstream of bin/install.js's Copilot install path, which does fs.readFileSync(path.join(targetDir, 'gsd-core', 'templates', 'copilot-instructions.md')) after copying gsd-core/templates/** into the target project, then merges it into both .github/copilot-instructions.md and (local installs) AGENTS.md. The reachability audit that flagged this file as dead checked src/*.cts and gsd-core/bin/*.cjs but never the repo-root bin/install.js — a separately maintained installer bundle outside the src/-to-gsd-core/bin/lib/ compiled-output convention. The fs.existsSync guard around that read degrades to a silent skip rather than a crash when the template is missing, which is why this surfaced only once the real E2E install test ran, not from any static check. Re-verified the remaining 11 deleted filenames against bin/install.js specifically (plain substring and quoted-filename search) before trusting that list — all 11 have zero hits there, confirmed dead by the same standard this one file failed. Regenerated the installer emitted-tree goldens (tests/fixtures/install-tree/*.json) to reflect the restored file, and corrected the "Removed" changeset (jolly-lynx-sprint.md) and the phase design doc from 12 to 11 deleted files. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: execute-plan.md — call-site wiring for the summary.md and user-setup.md .compact.md variants Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: help.md — call-site wiring for full.compact.md, same variant-resolution rule * docs(#4406): backfill changeset PR numbers Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#4406): resolve removed-but-needed lint findings on the dead-template deletion CI's own full-test matrix (not gsd-test's matrix, which does not run this check) caught 4 more false-positive dead-template classifications via tests/removed-but-needed-lint.test.cjs / scripts/lint-removed-but-needed.cjs — a literal, word-boundary basename check across .github/workflows/, gsd-core/, and docs/ (excluding docs/adr/** and docs/research/**) for every file a PR deletes. It has no semantic awareness, so a deleted template's basename colliding with something else entirely still fires: - claude-md.md: gsd-core/templates/README.md had a stale table row claiming /gsd-profile reads this template to generate CLAUDE.md. Verified false (no code reads it anywhere, same search that already covered bin/install.js) — fixed the row to *(inline)*, matching every other command-generated artifact in that table. File stays deleted. - codebase/testing.md: collided with docs/guides/testing.md, an illustrative example row in docs-update.md's sample output table (an unrelated real generated-docs path). Swapped the example topic to "contributing" — the row is illustrative, any topic works. File stays deleted. - codebase/architecture.md, codebase/stack.md: collided with docs/reference/ planning-artifacts.md's directory listing of a user's own generated .planning/codebase/architecture.md and stack.md output — the same semantic mismatch already investigated and dismissed as unrelated earlier in this phase's audit, now caught by a gate instead of judgment. That listing repeats across 5 locale copies of the doc. - continue-here.md: collided with the real .continue-here.md pause-work artifact, referenced across 15+ locale and workflow files. For the last two, the lint's own error message offers "restore the file or update every consumer in the same commit." Rewording 15+ files across languages I cannot verify translation quality for, to shave 2 already-tiny templates that were merely presumed dead, is disproportionate to this PR's actual scope — restored codebase/architecture.md, codebase/stack.md, and continue-here.md instead, and corrected docs/ARCHITECTURE.md's Templates section accordingly. Final confirmed-dead set: claude-md.md, codebase/concerns.md, codebase/conventions.md, codebase/integrations.md, codebase/structure.md, codebase/testing.md, debug-subagent-prompt.md, discovery.md — 8 files, down from the original 12. Verified locally: GSD_REMOVED_BUT_NEEDED_BASE=next node scripts/lint-removed-but-needed.cjs now passes clean. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: docs-update.md — swapped an illustrative example-table topic (testing -> contributing) to avoid a removed-but-needed basename collision with the deleted codebase/testing.md template; net +10 bytes * fix(#4406): split codex-config.test.cjs to fix a genuine Windows CI timeout Root cause of the `full test (windows-latest, 24, shard 2/3)` failure the user asked to be actually fixed, not just re-run past: PR #4497 (landed 2026-09-07, one day before this PR's CI run) isolated tests/codex-config.test.cjs into its own dedicated chunk because its measured weight (17.87, ~45% of the post-cut Windows budget) made it unsafe to share a chunk with any other file. That isolation was necessary but not sufficient — even alone, with zero companion-file contention, the file's real Windows execution time sits right at the 600s per-chunk ceiling. Two independent CI runs on two unrelated PRs (this one and #4154) were both killed within ~1.4s of the identical 600000ms mark — not random contention, a deterministic near-miss the isolation fix couldn't address because it never reduced the file's own cost, only removed the risk of a companion file's cost stacking on top of it (which the PR #4497 comment explicitly anticipated: "if a future profiling pass genuinely speeds up codex-config.test.cjs itself, this isolation can be revisited"). The file itself explains why it's this heavy: 11,262 lines / 433 tests / 79 describe blocks, accumulated over dozens of bug-fix PRs (#2695, #2760, #3245, #3285, #3346, #3426, #3427, #3562, #3566, #3582, #3808, and more), several of which are explicitly documented as "folded" in from separate files that were never actually split back out ("Verified non-duplicate against both the pre-existing target and the other three folded sources"). Split into 4 files by top-level AST statement boundaries (never a naive column-0 regex — an early attempt at that overcounted 79 apparent "describe(" matches when only 21 are genuinely top-level; the rest are nested inside a handful of large folded-in blocks, which a regex can't tell apart from real top-level statements). Verified lossless twice: the split script asserts byte-for-byte reconstruction of every source character, and independently, total test()/describe() call counts match exactly between the original file and the sum across all 4 new files (433/79 both sides). Each new file carries the complete original shared header (imports/helpers) for safety; per-file unused-import warnings from that duplication are resolved via ESLint-precise alias renames (`{ foo: _foo }`, the standard form for an intentionally-unused destructured binding — never a bare `{ _foo }`, which would destructure a different, nonexistent property). No change needed to scripts/run-tests.cjs's ISOLATED_HEAVY_FILES or its pinned test in tests/run-tests-harness.test.cjs: the file that keeps the original name (tests/codex-config.test.cjs) is now only ~28% of the original's size and safely isolated in its own chunk as before; the other three new files re-enter normal weight-balanced packing, none individually close to disproportionate. Confirmed no other file hardcodes the hardcoded filename anywhere that would silently stop these tests from running (the CI test-selection scripts determine scope algorithmically, not by literal filename).

Tom Boucher	e03921c7d8	enhance(#4405): split the rest of the eager-window workflows worth splitting (#4536)	2026-09-08 00:17:22 -04:00
Dennis Alexis Valin Dittrich	18c899def5	enhance(#4209): optional external source reviewer lanes for /gsd:code-review (#4323) ... * test(01-01): define reviewer-support trait contract Add failing coverage for step.supportsReviewerLanes (#4209 DISP-02): validator rejects non-boolean values with an exact field path, accepts missing/true/false, and the real code-review capability.json steps must declare supportsReviewerLanes: true. Add loop-resolver projection coverage proving the trait reaches activeHooks verbatim for a provider-neutral synthetic step (not code-review-specific), and that omitted/false values stay inert (no key on the active hook). All 8 new assertions fail today: the validator has no such field, and loop-resolver has nothing to project. RED before GREEN. * feat(01-01): declare reviewer-capable steps Add step.supportsReviewerLanes (#4209 DISP-02): a strict optional boolean opt-in trait, step-scoped (not capability-wide). Only a literal true validates and projects; false/omitted stay inert (no key on the projected active hook), and every non-boolean type fails capability-validator.cjs with an exact field-path error. Opt both existing code-review steps (execute:post, execute:wave:post) into the trait in capabilities/code-review/capability.json. Project the validated field through src/loop-resolver.cts into activeHooks so a provider-neutral generic interpreter can read it without any code-review-specific knowledge. Document the field in docs/reference/capability-manifest.md and regenerate gsd-core/bin/lib/capability-registry.cjs via the generator (never hand-edited). Makes all 8 RED assertions from the prior commit pass. * test(01-02): define shared reviewer dispatch - Add tests/reviewer-step-dispatch.test.cjs covering dispatchReviewerLanes: inert when the supportsReviewerLanes trait is off or nothing is selected, exactly-once plan/invoke per selected lane, duplicate-alias dedup, the bounded metadata-only source-review prompt (repo root, paths+baseSha, depth, four fixed prohibitions), and capability-neutral reuse via a second synthetic step context. - RED: module under test (src/reviewer-step-dispatch.cts) does not exist yet, so require() fails and every assertion is unreached. * feat(01-02): dispatch reviewers for opted-in steps - Add src/reviewer-step-dispatch.cts: dispatchReviewerLanes(input, deps), ONE interpreter for a step's supportsReviewerLanes trait. Reuses resolveReviewerSelection for selection and resolveLanePlan for planning (both already-existing, pure building blocks); invocation is the one required, caller-injected seam (deps.invoke) since runLane needs OS-aware spawn plumbing this module does not own. - trait !== true, or a selection resolving to zero lanes, dispatches nothing (zero plan/invoke calls). Each selected lane is planned and invoked exactly once, in the selector's deduped/sorted order. - buildSourceReviewPrompt assembles a metadata-only bounded prompt (repo root, canonical paths + base SHA, depth, four fixed prohibitions) — never file contents — written once per dispatch and shared across every invoked lane. - GREEN: tests/reviewer-step-dispatch.test.cjs now passes. * test(01-02): define reviewer dispatch failures - Extend tests/reviewer-step-dispatch.test.cjs with the fail-closed matrix: an explicitly requested lane the selector could not resolve still lets the OTHER resolved lane run, but the aggregate result must never read as a clean success (and 'every explicit lane unavailable' must be distinguishable from the plain no-flags-passed inert case); request-level validation (path traversal, absolute paths outside repoRoot, empty/non-string paths, missing depth/base SHA) halts the whole dispatch before any lane is planned or invoked; a per-lane prompt-budget overflow hard-fails only that lane before invoke while its sibling still runs. - RED: src/reviewer-step-dispatch.cts does not yet implement any of these guards, so 9 of the new assertions fail against the current (Task 1) implementation. * fix(01-02): fail closed in reviewer dispatch - src/reviewer-step-dispatch.cts: add the fail-closed guards the prior commit deliberately left out. An explicitly requested lane the selector could not resolve no longer lets the aggregate read as a clean success — lanes that DID resolve still run and keep their results (never narrow the requested set), but selection.errors now flips the aggregate ok to false, and 'every explicit lane unavailable' is now distinguishable (SELECTION_FAILED) from the plain no-flags-passed inert case (NO_LANES_SELECTED). - Add request-level validation (validatePaths, depth/baseSha presence) that halts the WHOLE dispatch before any lane is planned or invoked: path traversal, absolute paths outside repoRoot, empty/non-string paths, and missing provenance are all rejected up front. - Add per-lane prompt-budget enforcement (resolveBudget, mirroring gsd-tools.cjs's budgetFor convention including budget 0 = unbounded): a lane whose resolved budget the prompt exceeds hard-fails before invoke runs for it, without cancelling a sibling lane already planned. - Document the supportsReviewerLanes trait and its dispatch-step interpreter in gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md. - GREEN: all 19 tests in tests/reviewer-step-dispatch.test.cjs pass; no regressions in the review-lane/reviewer-selection/prompt-budget suites (356 passing). * test(01-03): define optional source reviewer flow RED: assert code-review.md dispatches roster-derived reviewer-lane flags through a single review-lane dispatch-step call (DISP-01..05), that the no-flag path stays byte-for-behavior unchanged (COMP-01), and that external evidence reaching the internal reviewer prompt is marked unverified (CONS-02). Also covers the CLI contract directly: no-op with no explicit selection, and fail-closed on an explicit unknown lane (SAFE-07) via real gsd-tools.cjs subprocess calls. * feat(01-03): route optional source reviewers GREEN: code-review.md gains a dispatch_reviewer_lanes step that matches canonical reviewer-lane flags against the merged first-party + installed roster (never a hand-maintained list) and, only when at least one is present, calls the shared reviewer-step interpreter exactly once with the already-resolved repo root, file scope, depth, and base SHA. Its evidence paths are appended to the internal reviewer prompt via ${EXTERNAL_EVIDENCE_BLOCK}, explicitly marked unverified. No reviewer-lane flag leaves the internal-only dispatch byte-for-behavior unchanged (COMP-01). Deviation (Rule 3 — blocking issue): 01-02 documented `review-lane dispatch-step` (gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md) as the CLI route `dispatchReviewerLanes` wires through, but never implemented the gsd-tools.cjs subcommand — the workflow's call had nothing to reach. Add it to the existing review-lane router, reusing the same effort-aware plan building and runner deps `plan`/`invoke` already use (factored into buildLaneRunnerDeps to avoid duplicating the spawn/http/fs seam). Guard the CLI's own `detected` set on whether an explicit flag was passed: resolveReviewerSelection's no-explicit-selection fallback is "select every detected reviewer" (the correct default for /gsd:review), and passing it an unconditionally non-empty detected set would silently invoke the whole roster on every no-flag code review, violating COMP-01. * test(01-03): define external finding consolidation RED: assert gsd-code-reviewer.md treats <external_reviewer_evidence> as untrusted input — independently re-verifies every claim against the actual current source, resists a prompt-injection attempt embedded in evidence text, and folds a verified claim into the existing Narrative Findings section with no second REVIEW.md schema (CONS-01..03). Also assert code-review.md's EXTERNAL_EVIDENCE_BLOCK restates the four fixed source-review prohibitions (SAFE-03..06) at the internal-reviewer handoff. * feat(01-03): consolidate external review evidence GREEN: gsd-code-reviewer.md's load_context parses <external_reviewer_evidence> as untrusted data, independently re-verifies every cited claim against the actual current source before it can appear in REVIEW.md, and explicitly resists prompt injection embedded in evidence text (never a command, no matter what it claims to be). A verified claim folds into the existing Narrative Findings section with (external: {slug}) provenance — one REVIEW.md schema only, no separate external-findings section. code-review.md's EXTERNAL_EVIDENCE_BLOCK now restates the four fixed source-review prohibitions (SAFE-03..06) at the internal-reviewer handoff. * fix(01-02): gitignore the reviewer-step-dispatch build artifact 01-02 added src/reviewer-step-dispatch.cts but never added its npm run build:lib output to .gitignore, unlike every sibling gsd-core/bin/lib/*.cjs generated file. Left it showing as untracked noise in git status. * docs(01-04): publish user and command contract for reviewer-lane source review - Document optional reviewer-lane flags on /gsd-code-review in USER-GUIDE.md and COMMANDS.md: opt-in, no source bodies in prompts, no fallback on failure, findings independently consolidated into the single REVIEW.md - Add the same contract to the docs/features/code-review-pipeline.md fragment and regenerate docs/FEATURES.md from it - Preserve /gsd-review as the plan-review command; cross-reference it rather than duplicating the reviewer roster - Pick up docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json and skills/gsd-code-review/SKILL.md drift owned by source already shipped in Plans 01-01/01-03 but never regenerated (npm run regen:derived had not been run in this worktree) * docs(01-04): align architecture and agent ownership docs for reviewer-lane trait - ARCHITECTURE.md: trace the #4209 capability trait (supportsReviewerLanes) through the shared dispatchReviewerLanes interpreter to the existing review-lane plan/invoke machinery, ending at gsd-code-reviewer as the sole REVIEW.md consolidator - AGENTS.md: document gsd-code-reviewer's full-context verification scope and its treatment of external reviewer evidence as unverified input - No new diagram, abstraction, or config key; docs/CONFIGURATION.md is unchanged since the feature adds no setting or default * fix(01-02): eslint-ignore the reviewer-step-dispatch build artifact Same gap as the earlier .gitignore fix: 01-02 added src/reviewer-step-dispatch.cts but never added its generated gsd-core/bin/lib/reviewer-step-dispatch.cjs output to eslint.config.mjs's ignore list like every sibling generated file, so tsc's emitted __importDefault CommonJS-interop var tripped no-var. * fix(01-04): add the reviewer-step-dispatch.cjs roster row to docs/INVENTORY.md 01-04 regenerated docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json (which now lists cli_modules/reviewer-step-dispatch.cjs) but the hand-written roster row in docs/INVENTORY.md — required by design, since a role sentence cannot be generated — was never added. * fix(01-01): update the code-review capability-step fixture for supportsReviewerLanes refactor-trigger-cli.test.cjs's preservesCodeReviewHookShapeAlongsideRefactorHook strict-deep-equals the code-review step's exact shape at execute:post; 01-01 added supportsReviewerLanes: true to that step and this fixture was not updated. * chore(01-03): acknowledge emitted-doc growth for code-review.md and gsd-code-reviewer.md Both files grew as a direct, intended consequence of wiring optional reviewer lanes into /gsd:code-review (the new dispatch_reviewer_lanes step and the untrusted-evidence consolidation contract) — not incidental drift. Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: code-review.md — new dispatch_reviewer_lanes step and EXTERNAL_EVIDENCE_BLOCK wiring for optional reviewer lanes (#4209) Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-code-reviewer.md — untrusted external-evidence consolidation contract for optional reviewer lanes (#4209) * test(01-05): define WR-01/WR-02 reliability contract for dispatchReviewerLanes From internal code review: dispatched must be false when zero lanes actually reached plan(), and a throwing plan()/invoke() for one lane must not discard results already collected for a sibling lane — matching the fail-closed pattern gsd-tools.cjs already uses for the same resolveLanePlan call (#2494/#2605/#1698/#1936/#2073/#2176/#2589/#2794). Refs: gsd-core-dks.16, gsd-core-dks.17 * fix(01-05): close WR-01/WR-02/IN-01/IN-02 from internal review - WR-01: dispatched now tracks whether any lane actually reached plan(), not results.length — an unresolvable selected slug no longer reports dispatched:true. - WR-02: plan()/writePromptFile()/invoke() wrapped per-lane so a throw for one lane can never discard results already collected for a sibling lane, matching the same guard gsd-tools.cjs already has around the identical resolveLanePlan call. - IN-01: documents the intentional budget===0-is-unbounded convention (#2797) the caller already relies on. - IN-02: review-lane dispatch-step no longer blocks indefinitely on an un-piped interactive TTY; fails closed to empty paths instead. Refs: gsd-core-dks.16, gsd-core-dks.17 * docs(01-05): add changeset fragment for PR #17 * fix(01-03): allowlist prompt-injection-scan false positive on the untrusted-evidence contract agents/gsd-code-reviewer.md's untrusted-evidence section and its pinning regression test both quote injection phrases as the exact attack they defend against/detect — same DEFECT.PROMPT-INJECTION-SCAN-COLLISION class as the existing allowlist entries, not an actual injection vector. * test(01-05): extend WR-02 coverage to writePromptFile/invoke throws; DIFF_BASE-empty skip From CodeRabbit review: WR-02's earlier fix only wrapped plan() — writePromptFile()/deps.invoke() still ran unguarded, so a throw there still aborted every later selected lane. Also covers the dispatch_reviewer_lanes DIFF_BASE-empty-provenance gap (explicit lanes silently not running when no prior review and no phase-start commit exist). * fix(01-05): skip dispatch_reviewer_lanes with a clear warning when DIFF_BASE cannot be resolved Previously an explicit reviewer-lane request with no prior review and no resolvable phase-start commit reached dispatch-step with an empty --base-sha, which fails closed via missing_provenance — correct, but silent about why explicitly requested lanes didn't run. Now skip dispatch entirely in that case with a stderr warning naming the actual cause. * fix(01-05): wrap writePromptFile/invoke in the same per-lane try/catch as plan() WR-02's original fix only guarded plan() — a throw from writePromptFile() or deps.invoke() still aborted the whole dispatch, discarding results already collected for lanes processed earlier in the loop. CodeRabbit caught the gap; WR-02b/WR-02c pin it. * fix(01-05): WR-02b mock must throw only on the first writePromptFile() call The committed mock threw unconditionally, so codex's retry also threw and failed for the same reason as claude's — the test could not distinguish 'sibling still runs' from 'sibling also breaks'. Gate the throw to the first call, matching WR-02/WR-02c's single-failure intent. * fix(#4209): close review findings from adversarial + critical-code-reviewer pass Two independent reviews (agy adversarial review, Opus critical-code-reviewer + ponytail) found 6 Blocking and 7 Required issues in the reviewer-lane dispatch wiring around dispatchReviewerLanes. All 13 tracked in gsd-core-dks.18-30 and fixed here: - dispatch-step's reducer silently swallowed whole-dispatch rejections (invalid paths, missing provenance, etc); it now checks parsed.ok/reason. - spawn_reviewer recomputed its own stale DIFF_BASE, diverging from the LAST_REVIEW_COMMIT-aware value dispatch_reviewer_lanes uses on re-review; now shares the single compute_file_scope derivation. - the external reviewer prompt had no actual review request or citation requirement, only prohibitions; added both. - removed the supportsReviewerLanes trait plumbing (capability registry, validator, loop-resolver, docs, tests) — it was never consulted by the real dispatch path, which gates on explicit CLI flags instead. - flag-resolution require() was a fragile cwd-relative literal that failed silently on non-vendored installs; now resolves via GSD_TOOLS's own directory and warns instead of swallowing failure. - reducer didn't unwrap the @file: overflow protocol for large payloads. - deduplicated resolveBudget/budgetFor into one resolveLaneBudget. - lane artifacts now write to a mktemp run dir instead of $PHASE_DIR, so a second dispatch can't overwrite prior evidence. - validatePaths rejects control characters, closing a markdown-injection vector into the external prompt via crafted filenames. - reworded the one line that tripped prompt-injection-scan.sh instead of allowlisting the whole production prompt file. - fixed a stale docstring range and a dispatched-field ordering bug. - added 3 integration tests executing the actual reducer against synthetic dispatch-step JSON, replacing markdown-substring-only assertions. 771/771 tests pass across every touched suite; tsc --noEmit clean. * fix(#4209): wire supportsReviewerLanes as the maintainer's required reusable trait The maintainer's approval on issue #4209 explicitly redirected implementation shape: reviewer-lane dispatch must be a reusable capability/step-dispatch trait ("supportsReviewerLanes"), not code-review.md hand-wiring the call itself. My previous commit (e2558326) deleted that trait entirely after finding it declared-but-never-consulted, which was backwards — the fix was to wire it, not remove it. Restores the trait (capability.json, generated registry, validator, loop-resolver.cts, docs, tests) and wires it for real: dispatch_reviewer_lanes now resolves its own active hook via `gsd_run loop render-hooks` for the configured workflow.code_review_point and only proceeds to CLI-flag matching when supportsReviewerLanes reads true. Explicit flags no longer bypass the trait; a matching flag with the trait false resolves zero slugs (proven by a new integration test executing the real fence with both trait states). Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-core/workflows/code-review.md — the dispatch_reviewer_lanes step grows a trait-resolution fence (#4209 maintainer redirect requires the capability layer, not the workflow, own the opt-in decision). * fix(#4209): dispatch-step self-verifies the reviewer-lane trait via --cap-id/--point Both an agy adversarial review and an Opus critical-code-reviewer pass independently found the same gap in my previous commit (9b2c3773d): the trait check I wired into code-review.md only protected code-review's OWN invocation — gsd-tools.cjs's dispatch-step handler still hardcoded `trait: true` unconditionally, so a second capability declaring supportsReviewerLanes would get zero enforcement from the shared CLI unless it correctly re-implemented the ~15-line render-hooks scrape itself. That is exactly the "each workflow.md hand-wiring the call" the maintainer's redirect said to eliminate. Moves the trait check into dispatch-step itself: given --cap-id/--point, it self-invokes `loop render-hooks <point>` (relocating the one subprocess code-review.md used to spawn for this, not adding a new one) and derives the real trait from that capId's active hook, rather than trusting a caller-passed boolean. code-review.md now only passes --cap-id code-review --point "$CODE_REVIEW_POINT" and no longer resolves or gates on the trait itself — the ~20-line scrape it previously carried is gone. Any other capability opts into the identical enforcement by declaring the trait and passing the same two flags. Replaced the two tests that stipulated SUPPORTS_REVIEWER_LANES as an input variable (they proved a bash branch honors a variable, not that the variable reflects the real capability manifest) with three integration tests that invoke the real dispatch-step CLI against the real first-party capability registry: the real code-review trait resolves true, an unknown --cap-id resolves false (trait_not_enabled, fail-closed), and omitting --cap-id/--point entirely resolves false (no context means no opt-in). Also: reject \x7f/U+2028/U+2029 in validatePaths' control-character check (agy-F1 was incomplete), and delete the promptWritten per-lane coupling flag — the prompt write is idempotent, so writing it once per lane instead of gating on "did any lane write it yet" removes a latent bug where a deps.plan override that ever varies promptPath per lane would silently skip writing for a later lane. Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-core/workflows/code-review.md — net line count drops (the trait scrape moved into dispatch-step), but the file still grew this session across multiple commits; acknowledging per the growth-tracking convention. * fix(#4209): remove per-run token waste from the shipped prompts Runtime prompt content, not session tokens: two real, per-invocation token costs in the code that ships. 1. agents/gsd-code-reviewer.md's critical_rules restated nearly all of load_context step 5's ~180-word untrusted-evidence contract in ~90 more words, breaking this section's own established terse one-liner style (every other rule here is 1-2 sentences). This prompt loads fresh on every /gsd:code-review invocation. Shrunk to a one-line cross-reference, matching how write_review's own reference to step 5 already does it. 2. buildSourceReviewPrompt repeated the base SHA on every single file line even though it is identical for every file and already stated once at the top of the prompt — O(files) wasted tokens on every dispatched lane for a 50-file review, for zero information gain. File lines are now bare paths. * fix(#4209): resolve reviewer-lane trait in-process, fix CI failures found in review round 3 Opus critical-code-reviewer found a real Blocking defect in the --cap-id/ --point self-invocation added last commit: `dispatch-step` spawned `loop render-hooks <point> --raw` as a subprocess and bare-JSON.parse'd its stdout, but `io.cjs`'s output() redirects any payload over 50000 chars to `@file:<path>` instead of inline JSON -- the same overflow protocol this feature already unwraps for its OWN dispatch result 60 lines later in code-review.md. A large-enough activeHooks envelope (more installed capabilities/fragments) would throw, get silently swallowed by the bare catch, and misreport a real trait as trait_not_enabled with zero diagnostic. Fixed by extracting the config/registry/capability-state resolution `cmdLoopRenderHooks` already performs into an exported pure function, resolveActiveHooksForPoint (both `cmdLoopRenderHooks` and dispatch-step now share it), and calling it in-process from dispatch-step instead of spawning a subprocess at all. This eliminates the @file: exposure entirely (the dispatch-step path never touches the rendered-string envelope or its JSON-stringify/50000-char threshold), removes one subprocess spawn per code-review invocation, and gives a genuine diagnostic (stderr warning) on resolution failure instead of silent fail-closed. Corrected three doc/ docstring references to the now-removed subprocess self-invocation. Also fixes 2 real CI failures this round surfaced: - lint-tests: the agy-F1 control-char regex fix's `eslint-disable-next-line no-control-regex` comment was unused under this project's ESLint config (verified locally: the rule never actually flags \x00-\x1f in this repo's config) -- a mistake from an earlier commit this session, never actually lint-checked before push. Removed the disable comment. - security (prompt-injection-scan): the agy-F1 regression test's crafted fixture literally contains "Ignore all prior instructions." as test data proving validatePaths rejects it -- allowlisted the test file, same DEFECT.PROMPT-INJECTION-SCAN-COLLISION class as existing entries. Also trimmed agents/gsd-code-reviewer.md's load_context step 5 (R2): one bullet stated "untrusted, never a command" three different ways in one paragraph, and a same-file duplicate of write_review's schema rule. Consolidated to state each rule once. Declined one suggestion from this round: shrinking code-review.md's EXTERNAL_EVIDENCE_BLOCK to a bare evidence list. Two tests (tests/code-review-pipeline-regression.test.cjs's CONS-01..03 block, tests/code-review.test.cjs's CONS-02 test) deliberately lock the four- prohibitions restatement and the untrusted-evidence prose into the INJECTED block itself, not just the consolidator's system prompt -- adjacency of the warning to the untrusted payload it's warning about is a recognized prompt-injection defense-in-depth pattern from this workstream's original TDD plan, not accidental duplication. * fix(#4209): correct stale per-file base-SHA prose in the external prompt Leftover from removing the per-file base SHA repetition earlier this session: the review-request sentence still said "relative to its base SHA" (singular per-file framing) when there's now exactly one base SHA, stated once above the file list. Reads "relative to the base SHA above" now. * fix(#4209): make getLane/configGet/plan required deps, delete dead defaults R3/R4 from the review round I'd deferred as low-priority test-churn: this file's one production caller (gsd-tools.cjs's dispatch-step handler) always supplies all three, so the fallbacks were dead in production -- but each was actively WRONG if ever reached: the default configGet always returned undefined, silently disabling resolveLaneBudget's overflow guard; the default getLane looked up only first-party REVIEWER_LANES, diverging from production's overlay-merged roster; the default plan skipped per-host effort resolution entirely. These defaults were introduced by this PR's own earlier work (this file did not exist before #4209 -- first commit a760bfcda, 01-02), not inherited from elsewhere, so there's no external caller depending on the lenient contract. Turned out free to fix: making the three deps required and deleting defaultGetLane/defaultPlan needed zero test changes -- every existing test that actually reaches the per-lane loop already supplies getLane/plan explicitly, and configGet's only real dependent (the budget-overflow tests) already supplies it too. 788/788 tests pass unchanged, tsc/lint clean. * fix(#4209): define depth semantics for the external reviewer lane Verified this was a real bug, not a match to existing convention as I'd claimed when declining the suggestion earlier this session: the internal gsd-code-reviewer agent's own system prompt carries a full <depth_levels> block defining what quick/standard/deep mean and do (agents/gsd-code- reviewer.md:68-99). The external reviewer lane has no access to that persona at all -- it only ever sees buildSourceReviewPrompt's bounded text, which sent the bare depth label with zero definition to a third-party CLI with no other source of truth for what "standard" means. Added depthMeaning(), condensed from the internal reviewer's own <depth_levels> definitions so the two stay consistent, and interpolated it into the review-request sentence. 150/150 tests pass, tsc/lint clean. * fix(#4209): merge dispatch_reviewer_lanes' split fences into one shell invocation CR-01 (Opus critical-code-reviewer, confirmed by direct execution): the roster-matching fence set EXPLICIT_JOINED/EXPLICIT_REVIEWER_SLUGS, and a SEPARATE later fence read them via ${#EXPLICIT_REVIEWER_SLUGS[@]} to decide whether to dispatch at all. This file's own documented rule (its depth-resolution guard, stated explicitly a few hundred lines earlier) is that a guard and the extraction it protects must run as one shell control-flow decision, because markdown-fenced blocks do not share shell state -- this step violated its own file's rule for the entire feature's gating condition. Merged the roster-resolution fence and the dispatch-decision fence into one continuous bash block, removing the intervening prose that split them. Fixed the stderr-based failure detection in the same edit (RQ-01: checking whether stderr is non-empty misfires on any benign Node warning; now checks the actual exit status of the roster-resolution command). Verified by extracting the merged fence and executing it standalone, driving both branches: --codex resolves EXPLICIT_JOINED=codex, SLUGS_COUNT=1, and a real dispatch-step call succeeds; no flags resolves EXPLICIT_JOINED empty, SLUGS_COUNT=0, dispatch-step never invoked (COMP-01). 141/141 workflow tests pass, tsc/lint clean. * fix(#4209): depthMeaning accuracy, injection defense on all embedded fields, hoisted prompt write Batch of Required/Suggestion fixes from the Opus critical-code-reviewer + writing-for-agents pass: - CR-02/CR-03: depthMeaning() dropped real categories from quick (empty catch blocks, commented-out code) and deep (error propagation, state mutation consistency, circular dependencies) relative to the real <depth_levels> block, and had zero test coverage. Restored full accuracy and added tests that read the real agents/gsd-code-reviewer.md file directly, so drift between the two can't recur silently. Unrecognised depth now normalizes to standard's definition, matching that agent's own documented rule, instead of rendering an undefined bare label. - RQ-04: depth/baseSha/repoRoot/runDir land in the same markdown prompt `paths` does, but weren't checked for control characters like paths were (agy-F1's original finding). Hoisted CONTROL_CHAR to module scope and applied it to all four fields at the same provenance-check boundary. runDir previously had zero validation at all. - S1: deleted the dead `identity` parameter on `invoke` -- the one production caller already ignores it, no test read it by name. - S2: hoisted the shared prompt write above the per-lane loop -- promptPath is derived from runDir alone (constant across lanes by construction), so writing it once is both correct and cheaper than the per-lane write R1 introduced earlier this session. Discovered and fixed a real regression from the naive version of this hoist: an unguarded throw would have escaped dispatchReviewerLanes as an uncaught exception instead of a clean per-lane failure. Added a new PROMPT_WRITE_FAILED whole-dispatch reason, matching the existing validatePaths/MISSING_PROVENANCE halt pattern, with a dedicated regression test. - S3: moved `planned = true` past the budget-overflow gate, so `dispatched` only reports true once a lane has cleared BOTH plan and budget checks. - S5: relayed gsd-code-reviewer.md's own "performance issues are out of scope unless also correctness issues" policy into the external-lane prompt, which previously had no such guidance and could return findings the internal reviewer's own contract excludes. - RQ-05 (partial): shrunk this file's own header docstring's restatement of the trait-reuse architecture to a pointer at gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md, the canonical home. 234/234 tests pass across the full reviewer-lane test suite, tsc/lint clean. * fix(#4209): dedupe roster-merge logic, consolidate trait architecture prose, add step completion criterion RQ-02: added a `review-lane explicit-from-argv` subcommand that reuses the SAME merged-roster logic (`laneBySlug`) `dispatch-step`/`plan`/`invoke` already share. code-review.md's ~18-line inline `node -e` reimplementing `loadRegistry`+`mergeReviewerLanes` (a rename-only copy of the block in gsd-tools.cjs) is now a single call to this subcommand -- the exact violation code-review-flags.cjs's own header warns against ("this is the canonical flag-parsing surface -- do not replicate inline bash parsing"). RQ-03: an empty --cap-id XOR --point now warns distinctly from the legitimate no-context opt-out (both absent) -- a caller that named a capability without its point was silently indistinguishable from a correct opt-out. Also hardened the CODE_REVIEW_POINT config-get fallback: it only ever fires when the config-get COMMAND ITSELF fails (config-get already resolves the manifest's own schema default in the normal case), but that failure was previously silent. RQ-05/W-01/W-12/W-13: the "supportsReviewerLanes is a reusable trait resolved inside dispatch-step" explanation was restated in full in 5 places across this session's own review cycles. Consolidated to ONE canonical statement in gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md; the other 4 (this file's own header, gsd-tools.cjs's comment, docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, code-review.md's step-opening comment) now point at it instead. W-05/W-06: loop-hook-dispatch.md described "false or non-boolean" as two inert cases when capability-validator.cjs already rejects non-boolean at load -- restated as the two cases that actually reach this code. Removed a "do not hand-roll trait resolution" prohibition whose target no longer exists once the positive description precedes it. W-04: deleted a no-op sentence in agents/gsd-code-reviewer.md ("missing block means proceed as normal") -- an absent optional block already means proceed as normal without being told. W-08/W-09: replaced longhand "zero selection/plan/invoke calls" and the made-up compound "byte-for-behavior [un]changed" with the token this session's own docs already coined for this concept (inert) and the word that means what byte-for-behavior was reaching for (unchanged). W-10: dispatch_reviewer_lanes had no completion criterion -- added one sentence naming the checkable end state (EXTERNAL_EVIDENCE_BLOCK is set, either populated or empty). This exact sentence would have caught the cross-fence bug fixed two commits ago at authoring time. Declined from this round, with reasoning: W-02/W-03 (trim the untrusted-evidence restatement in EXTERNAL_EVIDENCE_BLOCK/critical_rules) -- two tests deliberately lock this as intentional adjacency-based prompt-injection defense-in-depth, not accidental duplication (see this branch's own earlier commit). S4 (wrap LANE_RUN_DIR in a creation-site `trap ... EXIT`) -- would fire at the end of the CREATING fence, before spawn_reviewer's agent ever reads the evidence files, given this file's own documented fenced-block execution model; the existing named cross-reference between creation and cleanup already satisfies the co-location concern without introducing that regression. 853/853 tests pass across the full reviewer-lane test suite, tsc/lint clean. * fix(#4209): merge CODE_REVIEW_POINT into dispatch_reviewer_lanes' one fence, stop test from spawning real codex Round-5 review (agy) found the same cross-fence-split bug CR-01 already fixed for EXPLICIT_JOINED/EXPLICIT_REVIEWER_SLUGS: CODE_REVIEW_POINT's config-get fallback lived in an earlier, separate fence from the fence that consumes it via --point, split only by prose (not a guard, per this step's own documented rule). Merged into the single continuous fence and added a structural test asserting exactly one bash fence in the step. The new end-to-end regression test for this used --codex, which drives the fence's real `review-lane dispatch-step` call and, with the codex binary present on PATH, spawns the real external CLI — which then blocks on interactive auth with no stdin (BL-01). Stubbed gsd_run for `review-lane dispatch-step` only (captures argv instead of executing), keeping the real config-get/explicit-from-argv calls the test is actually about. * fix(#4209): split control-char vs missing provenance reason, realpath-check path escapes, stale comment Round-5 review (Opus) warning-tier findings: - WR-04: MISSING_PROVENANCE covered both "field absent" and "field present but a control-character injection attempt" — a caller distinguishing a config problem from a security event couldn't tell them apart. Split into MISSING_PROVENANCE (absent) and INVALID_PROVENANCE (present but invalid). - WR-05: validatePaths' containment check was lexical only (path.resolve), so a symlink whose own path sits inside repoRoot could still point outside it. Added an fs.realpathSync check (ENOENT-tolerant — a git-diff path can legitimately name a file already deleted in a stale worktree), realpathing repoRoot itself too so a symlinked repoRoot (e.g. /tmp on macOS) doesn't false-positive-reject its own real children. - WR-08: a comment in the per-lane loop still said a throwing writePromptFile() was caught there — stale since the prompt write was hoisted above the loop in an earlier round. WR-03 (validate depth against the quick/standard/deep enum) was considered and declined: this dispatcher is deliberately capability-neutral (see the existing "synthetic step context" test, which passes a non-code-review depth label on purpose to prove no code-review-specific special-casing exists). WR-01 (double registry load), WR-02 (trim-vs-hard-fail budget semantics), and WR-07 (reason omitted on the aggregate return) were verified against source and are not bugs — see review notes. * docs(#4209): document LANE_RUN_DIR's early-exit trade-off as accepted, not a gap Round-5 review (Opus, BL-03) flagged that an early exit between dispatch_reviewer_lanes and commit_review leaks the run-scoped temp dir. A trap-based cleanup was considered and rejected: if a step genuinely runs as a separate process, a trap set at creation time would fire at the end of that SAME fence, deleting the directory before spawn_reviewer/commit_review ever read it — worse than the leak it would fix. review.md's own gather_context/cleanup pair for the identical resource class (a run-scoped reviewer temp dir) already makes and documents this exact trade-off: cleanup runs only on a documented success path, and a leftover $TMPDIR entry is explicitly called cheaper than destroyed evidence. Recording that precedent here so this isn't re-raised as a live gap in a future review. * fix(#4209): register the WR-05 symlink-escape test's synthetic docs/ path reviewer-step-dispatch.test.cjs's "capability-neutral reuse" fixture passes paths: ['docs/spec.md'] as a synthetic, never-read path proving the dispatcher has no code-review-specific special-casing. lint-docs-guard- registration correctly flagged this as an unregistered docs/ path reference — add the docs-guard-exempt marker and its pinned baseline entry, the same pattern every other synthetic docs/ literal in this test suite already uses. * fix(#4209): backfill changeset pr: field with the real upstream PR number changeset-lint's fail_pr_field_drift caught the fragment still pointing at the fork PR (17) instead of the upstream one (open-gsd/gsd-core#4323) this branch is now also open against. * docs(#4209): amend ADR-2782 for the supportsReviewerLanes step-trait seam trek-e's review (2026-09-07, gsd-core#4323) found a real ADR gap: every decision in ADR-2782 (D1-D9) and every prior dated amendment governs the `role: "reviewer"` capability body and its one consumer, /gsd:review. This PR's actual new seam - a `supportsReviewerLanes: true` trait on an ordinary feature capability's `steps[]` entry, projected through loop-resolver.cts and resolved in-process via resolveActiveHooksForPoint - is a different capability axis (steps/gates/contributions) that the ADR's own scope note explicitly places out of reach. Per docs/contributor-standards.md's "Amending an accepted ADR", an in-place dated section is the established, lighter-weight path for an addition that stays within the ADR's existing decisions - used twice already in this same file - so this appends a third dated entry documenting the new seam, its consumer, and why it reuses the existing D1-D9-governed plan/invoke machinery rather than adding a second one. No decision is reversed; no new Amends/Amended-by pair is needed since the steps/gates/contributions axis already carries reciprocal links to ADR-857 and ADR-894. * fix(#4209): close two test-quality gaps trek-e's review found Minor 1: validatePaths (a path-shape parser guarding the prompt- injection/path-traversal trust boundary) had only example-based coverage, violating ADR-456's rule that parsers/budget limits carry at least one fast-check property test. Adds three: safe-segment paths are never rejected, a single leading "../" always escapes the one-segment repoRoot, and a control character anywhere is always rejected - one property per rejection reason validatePaths owns. Minor 2: the budget-overflow check (`estimatedTokens > budget`) was only ever exercised far below budget or at budget:0 (unbounded), never at the exact threshold crossing where a `>` vs `>=` off-by-one would hide. Adds three exact-boundary tests using the real estimateTokens/ buildSourceReviewPrompt the module calls internally, so the resolved token count is exact rather than approximated: budget == estimate (must pass), budget == estimate - 1 (must fail), budget == estimate + 1 (must pass). Also extracts okPlan()'s fixture timeoutMs into a named constant - local/no-adhoc-timeout-literal (#4446) landed on next after this branch was authored and flagged the pre-existing literal on rebase; it is fixture data for a synthetic plan object dispatchReviewerLanes never waits on, a distinct class from tests/helpers/timeouts.cjs's real subprocess norms. * fix(#4209): update docs-guard-registration baseline for the new ADR citation reviewer-step-dispatch.test.cjs's new fast-check property tests cite docs/adr/456-test-rigor-architecture.md in a justifying comment (never a real read). lint-docs-guard-registration fingerprints every docs/ path string an exempted test file mentions and fails on drift so a human re-confirms the exemption still holds - re-confirmed, and the baseline is updated to match. * fix(#4209): point changeset pr: field at the fork PR for CI validation changeset-lint's fail_pr_field_drift check compares the fragment's pr: field against the PR the CI run is actually attached to (GITHUB_EVENT_PATH), not a fixed target. Rehearsing this branch on fork PR davdittrich/gsd-core#17 needs pr: 17 to pass that check; the prior commit's pr: 4323 (the real open-gsd upstream PR number) is correct for that PR but fails here. Backfill to 4323 happens again, as the last commit, immediately before the approved push to open-gsd#4323 - never leaving pr: 17 on the branch that ships upstream. * fix(#4209): reject promptChannel:none lanes from source-review dispatch CodeRabbit found a real scope mismatch: coderabbit's lane declares promptChannel: 'none' and reviews the working tree on its own terms, fed nothing (review.md:367). Silently dispatching it through dispatchReviewerLanes would ignore the bounded paths/depth/baseSha scope buildSourceReviewPrompt promises and let the lane review whatever it independently sees fit, violating this interpreter's own scoped, metadata-only contract. Reject before plan()/invoke(), same as an unresolved slug. * fix(#4209): scope CONS-02 test to the evidence-block line, not the whole file CodeRabbit found the whole-file match on workflowContent would still pass if UNVERIFIED and re-open/reopen appeared in two unrelated parts of this 1000+-line workflow, proving nothing about the actual evidence block's contract. Line-filtered via splitLines (not a bare-\n regex spanning readFileSync content) so this stays CRLF-portable and passes local/no-unbounded-quantifier and local/no-crlf-fragile-split. * fix(#4209): guard DISPATCH_JSON substitution and capture its stderr CodeRabbit found the dispatch-step command substitution unguarded: a non-zero exit could leave DISPATCH_JSON empty (or halt the step under errexit with no warning), and the downstream reducer would only ever report the generic unparseable_dispatch_output reason, discarding the command's own diagnostic. Guarded like the existing CODE_REVIEW_POINT/ EXPLICIT_JOINED calls above it: capture stderr to a temp file, surface it in a warning on failure, and fall back to a parseable dispatch_ command_failed JSON stub so the reducer's existing reason-reporting path still fires. * docs(#4209): fix byte-for-behavior wording and missing colon, regenerate CodeRabbit found "byte-for-behavior" should read "byte-for-byte" (the established repo term for output-identical unchanged behavior) and a missing colon after the bold "Optional external reviewer lanes (#4209)" lead-in in docs/features/code-review-pipeline.md. Fixed in the two hand-authored sources (commands/gsd/code-review.md, docs/features/ code-review-pipeline.md) and regenerated the two derived projections (skills/gsd-code-review/SKILL.md via gen-plugin-skills.cjs, docs/ FEATURES.md via gen-features.cjs) so they stay in sync. * fix(#4209): drop the fabricated DISPATCH_JSON fallback stub (Windows CI) The prior fix's fallback `DISPATCH_JSON='{"ok":false,...}'` embeds double-quoted JSON keys inside a single-quoted shell literal. That extra quote density, inside an already quote-heavy ~8KB driver string, passed bash -n and the full local suite on Linux but broke Windows Git-Bash: `dispatch_reviewer_lanes computes CODE_REVIEW_POINT ... end to end (#4209 round 5)` failed on two Windows CI shards with `bash -c: unexpected EOF while looking for matching '''` — a Windows argv-to- command-line re-quoting edge case, reproducible on rerun, not a flake. Root-caused via gh api job logs plus a byte-identical local reconstruction of the test's own driver script. Fix: drop the fabricated stub. The downstream node -e reducer already falls back to reason `unparseable_dispatch_output` on any JSON.parse failure, so an empty/partial DISPATCH_JSON on command failure is still handled correctly, with zero new quoting risk. * revert(#4209): drop the DISPATCH_JSON stderr-guard nitpick (Windows CI) Two materially different mechanisms for the same CodeRabbit Nitpick ("Trivial | Quick win") both broke Windows Git-Bash reproducibly: a single-quoted JSON-literal fallback ("bash -c: unexpected EOF ... matching '''") and, after removing that, a plain `head -1 "$VAR"` inside a nested command substitution ("unexpected EOF ... matching '"'"). Both passed bash -n and the full local suite on Linux every time; both failed the SAME test deterministically on Windows CI. Two attempts at the same class of fix (nested-quote construction near this exact step) is the retry limit - reverting to the original, already-shipped, Windows-verified unguarded form rather than continuing to guess at a third quoting mechanism for a Trivial- severity nitpick. Logged as bug-221/bug-222 in .wolf/buglog.json for anyone attempting this again: the fix belongs outside this specific markdown-fence-driver test harness (e.g., a real .sh helper script) if it's worth doing at all. * fix(#4209): backfill changeset pr: field to the real upstream PR before push Fork validation (davdittrich/gsd-core#17) needed pr: 17 to satisfy changeset-lint's PR-number check while rehearsing there; this is the last commit before the approved push to the real upstream PR (open-gsd/gsd-core#4323), so the field points at that PR number again. --------- Co-authored-by: Test <test@test.com> Co-authored-by: Tom Boucher <trekkie@nomorestars.com>	2026-09-07 22:52:33 -04:00
Michel Moreira	733bec3ad1	enhance(#4261): report size-cap headroom on every run, with a reserved margin (#4418) ... * enhance(#4261): report size-cap headroom on every run, with a reserved margin The tier caps are red lines and none of them moves here. What was missing is everything below the red line: a passing run said nothing, so a contributor at 99.6% of a cap and one at 60% got identical feedback, and the density that produces merge-time collisions was invisible to the people creating it. Two levels, matching the shape execute-phase.md already carries by hand (a hard ceiling plus a lower margin "so minor future edits don't re-trip the gate") and which was until now the only capped file with one: 1. a headroom census printed every run, green included, sorted least-headroom-first, and appended to the GitHub job summary 2. a 95% reserved margin that names the files inside it and REPORTS rather than fails The margin deliberately does not fail. A cap breach is a red line; a file at 96% is not broken, it is a file whose next contributor should extract before adding. Failing there would create a second red line and force exactly the +N bumps the policy forbids. Neither level asserts a count, so this adds no snapshot to regenerate — the per-file size baseline was deleted by #2724 for conflicting on 7 of 7 PRs that touched it. Also deletes rather than refreshes the per-tier high-water comments in both guard files. They were measured once and then diverged from the tree: the LARGE line still claimed "gsd-executor 42,342 -> ~6.8 KB headroom" while the real high-water sat at 99.6% of that cap, so the comment documenting the margin was itself why nobody noticed the margin was gone. As measured on next by the new census, the pressure has grown since the issue was filed: gsd-plan-checker.md has 9 bytes of headroom, gsd-verifier.md 21, and plan-phase.md 14. * chore(#4261): add changeset for the size-cap headroom census * test(#4261): exercise reserved-margin boundaries --------- Co-authored-by: Tom Boucher <trekkie@nomorestars.com>	2026-09-07 22:04:48 -04:00
Tom Boucher	93e141a006	enhance(#4139): Phase 4 — measure the window instead of asserting it (#4502) ... * enhance(#4404): add offline token benchmark for compact-content splits ADR-4139 Decision 2 requires the finite-attention justification for workflow.compact_content to be measured, not asserted. `npm run benchmark:compact-content` computes, per registered spine/detail split discovered under gsd-core/workflows/, the token count with the split active (spine alone) vs inactive (spine + all detail parts read back in), using gpt-tokenizer (pinned exact devDependency — Anthropic publishes no tokenizer for Claude 3+, so every output surface labels this a PROXY-TOKENIZER comparison: the on/off delta is exact under one tokenizer applied identically to both sides, the absolute counts are not Claude's real ones). Reporting-only by design and verified so: --check diffs the live recompute against a committed baseline (tests/fixtures/compact-content-benchmark-baseline.json) and prints drift, but never exits non-zero for a drifted or missing baseline — the only thing allowed to fail this script is a genuine I/O error reading a source .md file it's measuring. Not wired into lint:ci or pretest. Discovery is deliberately reimplemented rather than importing tests/helpers/compact-content-split.cjs (Phase 3, #4403), keeping a scripts/ reporting tool from depending on a test-only module. tests/fixtures/deny-network.cjs preloads via NODE_OPTIONS=--require to prove the benchmark makes no network call, monkeypatching http/https/ net/dns/fetch to throw rather than relying on sandboxing. docs/CONFIGURATION.md documents the new benchmark against the workflow.compact_content key to satisfy this repo's docs-required gate for an Added-type changeset. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#4404): address orthogonal review findings on the token benchmark Standards axis found two hard violations against documented rules: - CLAUDE.md's Generative Fix Divergence rule requires a parity assertion for shared discovery logic maintained in two places. Added a test comparing benchmark-compact-content.cjs's own discoverRegisteredSplits against tests/helpers/compact-content-split.cjs's version on the real repo tree, so the two can never silently drift apart. - The changeset body closed its bold span with a period and continued as a second sentence, instead of the canonical `**<phrase>** — <explanation>.` shape CONTRIBUTING.md documents. Spec axis found the "network disabled + identical output across two runs" Done-when criterion was verified as two separate properties (determinism tested without network denial, offline survival tested as a single run) rather than as one combined property. Added a test that runs the benchmark twice under the deny-network preload and asserts byte-identical stdout. Security axis found tests/fixtures/deny-network.cjs didn't patch dns.promises (a separate binding from the callback dns API), tls.connect, or http2.connect — inert today since nothing in the benchmark calls them, but a silent gap in what the preload's own header claims to guarantee. Patched all three. CLAUDE.md's Property-Based Testing rule also requires a fast-check test for budget-limit arithmetic; added one for computeAggregate's off/on summation (true sum over N splits, never NaN/Infinity, never exceeds 100% when off >= on for every split). Standards axis's remaining two findings (a Data Clumps observation on the {offTokens, onTokens, reductionPct} triple, and mild duplication in formatDriftReport's three line-formatters) are left as judgement calls: introducing a named type for a 3-field local tuple, or a formatter abstraction for three short lines, would be exactly the premature abstraction CLAUDE.md's engineering guidance warns against for a script this size. All changes verified directly (parity logic, the fast-check property, and the three newly-denied network surfaces actually throwing under the preload) via node -e before committing; full npm run lint:ci passes with the eslint cache cleared.

Tom Boucher	a0f8f956c4	enhance(#4139): Phase 3 — partition rules + the five checks (#4497) ... * enhance(#4139): Phase 3 — partition rules + the five checks ADR-4139 Decision 5, epic #4139 Phase 3. Issue #4403's own "Proposed behavior" section lists four checks; the ADR's Decision 5 and its own phase table ("partition rules + the five checks") list five — the same four plus "boundary moves are declared, ongoing". Same issue-vs-ADR drift Phase 2 hit on the detail.md vs detail/*.md layout: the ADR is the locked, reviewed document, so it wins. This PR implements all five. docs/PARTITION-RULES.md (new) is the partition-rules document: the partition rule itself, the protected-content list and <!-- gsd:protected --> sentinel syntax (relocated unchanged from gsd-core/references/compact-content-protected-content.md, now deleted — it was never referenced by any runtime workflow Read, only by the predecessor test as documentation, so nothing at runtime regresses, and removing it from gsd-core/references/ also drops it from all 19 installed-project shipped-content trees for a file nothing ever read), and the five checks explained for a human reader. Referenced from a new CONTRIBUTING.md subsection under "Editing shipped content". tests/helpers/compact-content-split.cjs (new) is the shared mechanics: split discovery (any gsd-core/workflows/<name>/detail/*.md paired with <name>.md — no registry file, a pair is registered by existing on disk), line normalization (carries forward Phase 2's bare-label-line isTrivial fix and the canonical gsd_run-launcher-preamble exclusion), sentinel extraction, and a Boundary-Move-Declared commit-trailer reader that is a direct structural port of tests/helpers/emitted-runtime.cjs's Emitted-Drift-Ack-Hash/-Growth trailer reader (ADR-3942) — same merge-base range, same fail-closed throw on an uncomputable range, same dedupe/conflict rules. tests/compact-content-partition-guard.test.cjs (new) is the actual guard, superseding tests/plan-phase-compact-split.test.cjs (deleted — its per-pair checks are now the general guard's job for plan-phase specifically). Checks 2 (disjointness) and 3 (registration + size cap) run unconditionally against every registered split. Checks 1 (completeness, fires once per split on the PR that introduces a new detail/ path), 4 (protected content — no trailer can ever excuse this one, unlike check 5) and 5 (boundary moves declared) are PR-diff-scoped against the resolved base ref and skip cleanly when there's nothing to compare (a fresh clone, no PR in flight) — a deliberate asymmetry from check 5's trailer reader, which must throw rather than silently pass when ITS range is uncomputable, since that function is answering "did this PR declare its moves" rather than "is there even a diff to look at". Each of the five checks carries a RED (deliberately broken fixture) / GREEN (fixed) test pair, built against synthetic temp files or real throwaway git repos, per this repo's rule that a guard nobody has seen go red is not yet a guard. Building the real fixtures caught and fixed one real bug before it shipped: check 4's line-presence test was using the trivial-line-filtered normalizer, so a byte-identical spine falsely reported its own protected code-fence line as "deleted" — fixed with a non-filtering membership check. Extending docs/INVENTORY.md's "Workflow Sub-Files" table for `detail` surfaced a pre-existing, unrelated gap in the SAME area: gsd-core/workflows/<name>/templates/*.md is a fourth workflow sub-file kind that already existed on disk and was already known to lint-response-language-coverage.cjs's FRAGMENT_DIRS, but was invisible to gen-inventory-manifest.cjs and undocumented in that table. Fixed alongside it, same pattern, same PR, rather than deferred. Also, mechanically required by the new fourth sub-file kind: - scripts/lint-response-language-coverage.cjs: `detail` added to FRAGMENT_DIRS alongside modes/steps/templates — a detail/<part>.md inherits its parent's response_language coverage through the same per-file proof, not a parallel one. - tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs: explicit regression test locking that detail/ files are governed solely by the hard, non-waivable NEW_FILE_CAP (tests/helpers/emitted-diff.cjs) and never by the XL/LARGE/DEFAULT spine tiers — true by construction (measureWorkflows/listWorkflowStems don't recurse), made explicit per the issue's own Done-when item rather than left true-by-omission. - scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs: `workflow_detail` and `workflow_templates` NESTED_FAMILIES entries; docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json regenerated (plan-phase/detail/elaboration.md, discuss-phase/templates/*.md now tracked); docs/INVENTORY.md's table updated to four kinds. Verified: `npm run lint:ci` clean with the eslint cache cleared. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#4403): review findings + a real gsd-test failure in the new guard Two orthogonal review passes (Standards + Spec, isolated sub-agents) plus a separate security review ran against the prior commit. Fixed everything each surfaced: - Security (Low, path-traversal existence oracle): checkRegistration's dangling-reference check extracted detail-path-shaped substrings from spine PROSE via a regex that permits `.`/`/` freely, then joined them onto repoRoot and probed fs.existsSync with no containment check — a spine file containing `../../../etc/detail/passwd.md`-shaped text could make the guard test file existence outside the repo. Added a path.relative-based containment check before the fs.existsSync call; anything that resolves outside repoRoot is now reported as a dangling reference directly, never probed on disk. - Standards (Boundary Coverage): the size-cap fixtures covered NEW_FILE_CAP and NEW_FILE_CAP-1 but not NEW_FILE_CAP+1 — added the third boundary-point case CLAUDE.md's TEST RULES require (limit-1/limit/limit+1). - Standards (Property-Based Testing): extractProtectedBlocks (a sentinel parser) and the new parseBoundaryMoveTrailerValues (a declare/dedupe/conflict parser, bijective-shaped) had no fast-check property test. Added three: a render/parse bijectivity property for the trailer parser (mirroring the exact ADR-3942 sibling test's alphabet/idiom), a dedupe-is-idempotent property for the same parser, and a well-formed-sentinel-round-trips property for extractProtectedBlocks. Then dispatched gsd-test on the resulting commit. It found a real bug the reviews couldn't have caught (none of them can run inside gsd-test's sandbox): checks 4/5's real-repo assertion failed against plan-phase's own split, reporting DISK_PLANS/#3218-comment lines as "undeclared boundary moves" — content Phase 2 (#4402) legitimately moved into detail/elaboration.md months before this PR's Boundary-Move-Declared mechanism existed to require a trailer for it. Root cause: `resolveBase()`'s own doc comment already documents that no `origin/*` remote-tracking ref exists inside the gsd-test sandbox container, and its fallback candidate (a bare `next` branch) can resolve to a point in history that predates an already-merged, already-reviewed split — making that split look "newly introduced" from the sandbox's vantage point. Check 1 (completeness) already scopes itself correctly to only genuinely-new detail paths (git diff status 'A'); checks 4 and 5 did not share that scoping, so a stale base made them re-litigate a settled split retroactively. Fixed by having checks 4/5 skip any split name check 1 already counted as newly-split — their own premise ("did an EXISTING split shed/undeclare something") does not apply to a split that is, from the resolved base's vantage point, brand new; that is check 1's domain alone. Verified locally (25/25 tests pass via a direct `node -e` require, since `node --test` is blocked in this repo) and via re-reasoning through the exact real-repo scenario the gsd-test failure showed. Also regenerated all 19 tests/fixtures/install-tree/*.json goldens — the prior commit's deletion of gsd-core/references/compact-content-protected-content.md was never reflected there, which is what golden-install-tree.test.cjs's other 19 failures in the same gsd-test run were. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(#4403): backfill changeset pr number to 4497 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#4403): isolate codex-config.test.cjs into its own chunk, root-causing the Windows CI failure PR #4497's "full test (windows-latest, 24, shard 2/3)" job failed: run-tests killed chunk 3/8 at the 600s per-chunk backstop, with codex-config.test.cjs (weight 17.87, by far the chunk's dominant cost) packed alongside 39 other files. Traced, not assumed: - scripts/run-tests.cjs's own timeout-headroom comment for the OUTER per-shard timeout documents that "adding one test file reshuffled 115 of 268 unit files between shards" — shard/chunk composition is architecturally known to be unstable to single-file additions, which is exactly what this PR's own new tests/compact-content-partition-guard.test.cjs is. - A second comment, dated 2026-09-06 (one day before this PR, PR #4428's own CI), already documents the SAME chunk hitting the SAME 600s backstop with the SAME file (codex-config.test.cjs, "a genuinely MEASURED weight of 17.87 — not a stale-table miss") dominating it — the fix then was cutting the Windows per-chunk budget from 60 to 40. That cut clearly was not enough: two documented incidents in two days, at two different budget settings, both centered on one file that alone consumes ~45% of even the reduced Windows budget. - tests/test-timings.json's own header confirms its source data (test-events-linux-node22/24.jsonl) is Linux-only, and run-tests.cjs's own chunk-timeout diagnostic already prints "real Windows cost runs ~2.2x the recorded figure" — the packer's weight-balancing is working off data that is both stale (table last regenerated 2026-08-07) and known to underestimate the platform where the failure occurs. Given codex-config.test.cjs is disproportionately heavy AND every companion sharing its chunk is decided by a packing algorithm already documented as reshuffling unpredictably on any new file, tuning the shared budget a third time only moves the marginal line to wherever the next new file happens to land — it does not remove the gamble. Isolating codex-config.test.cjs into its own dedicated single-file chunk, unconditionally and on every platform, removes it at the source: the file never enters the pool packChunks balances, so no other file's packing changes, and no future single-file addition (mine or anyone else's) can silently reintroduce this exact failure by landing in its chunk. Extracted as a small pure function, partitionIsolatedFiles (mirroring this file's existing pattern of pulling packing/analysis logic out of main() for in-process unit coverage — see computeSweepProtectSet, analyzeChunkEvents), with 6 new tests in tests/run-tests-harness.test.cjs covering basename matching across path separators, near-miss non-matches, the empty-list case, and the isolated-set contents. Root cause is now closed rather than papered over with a retry: this failure is a property of one specific heavy file's chunk placement, not something that recurs randomly. If codex-config.test.cjs itself is ever genuinely sped up, this isolation can be revisited — this is a packing-side mitigation for a known file's cost, not a claim the cost is irreducible.

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

Tom Boucher	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.

Michel Moreira	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. --------- Co-authored-by: Tom Boucher <trekkie@nomorestars.com>	2026-09-06 17:51:34 -04:00

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. * fix(#4186): repair a dangling sentence in the schema docstring * test(#4186): bound the completed_plans scan regex (#2128 class) * chore(#4186): backfill changeset PR number --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>	2026-09-06 17:08:24 -04:00
Tom Boucher	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. * test(#4384): fix substring false positive in the outside-root regression row The ../-form relative link legitimately contains the absolute path as a substring, so !line.includes(absolutePath) fired on correct output (caught by the first remote verify run, linux-node24 44018/44019).

Tom Boucher	aad04f4e9a	docs(#4400): ADR-4139 — the compact-content seam (#4410) ... * docs(#4400): ADR-4139 — the compact-content seam Phase 0 of epic #4139. Locks the design before any code lands. #4139's stated mechanism cannot reach the stream it exists for: 58 of 72 shipped commands deliver their whole workflow file through an eager @-include, which the host expands before any project config is in context. An in-content gate is evaluated after those bytes are already paid. The ADR declines the obvious fix (convert the 58 execution_context blocks to runtime Reads) because that removes the host guarantee for every user, not only opted-in ones — a global install shares one skill tree, so an @-include cannot be conditional. It instead keeps every @-include exactly where it is and splits what sits behind them: the canonical path becomes a runnable spine, elaborations move to a sibling detail file read at runtime. A missed Read then degrades to "runs correctly with fewer tokens", never to "runs with no instructions". Also records: the rename to workflow.compact_content, the re-pitch onto ADR-1610's context-rot argument rather than the cost argument ADR-1610 discounts, partition-not-duplication (which dissolves the dual-maintenance cost the Feature Review called disqualifying), the guard-scope and NEW_FILE_CAP mapping for the new subtree, and an argued reconciliation of the acceptance criteria this design does not meet literally. Corrects ADR-3646 §Context: it cites #3647 as open; #3647 closed 2026-09-01 as a duplicate of #3606. ADR-3646's Decision is unaffected — it explicitly disclaimed any dependence on #3647's state. The residual prose-dispatch variance named in #3647's own closure thread is unresolved, and this ADR routes around it rather than assuming it away. Refs #4139 Closes #4400 * docs(#4400): fold the two orthogonal review findings into ADR-4139 Code review (isolated context) and security review (isolated context) both returned findings. Fixed here rather than carried. Critical, from code review: the ADR repeated earlier research's claim that discuss-phase, manager and pause-work all reach a workflow by runtime Read. manager and pause-work carry plain eager @-includes and are inside the 58, not outside. discuss-phase is the only precedent, and it is one file. The Open Questions section is corrected with it. The NEW_FILE_CAP mapping was wrong in a way that changes the layout. It lives at tests/helpers/emitted-diff.cjs:96, not in workflow-size-budget, and its own doc comment records that it is a hard cap, not ack-able, and NOT tier-exemptible -- the pre-#2724 test-file version was. So a single detail.md holding plan-phase.md's elaborations is blocked outright with no exemption path. Detail content is now one or more parts under workflows/<name>/detail/, each below the cap, named by the spine in the dispatch-table shape discuss-phase.md already uses. commit-files-pathspec is in scope and earlier research called it irrelevant. Per CONTRIBUTING.md:1164-1170 it sweeps every .md under gsd-core/workflows/ for unscoped commit-seam invocations. Added to the guard table. Two byte figures were inherited rather than measured, against this ADR's own evidence note. Templates and agents re-measured; the table now carries the method and the exact numbers. From security review: "a spine that has shed a protected-content marker fails" never defined what a marker was, leaving the strongest check in the set resting on a prose-category judgment. Protection is now a literal greppable sentinel in the existing gsd: comment namespace, and the guard rule has no discretion in it. Also added: an explicit statement that the detail path is never user- or project-supplied and cannot be shadowed by a project-local file, and an exact-version pin commitment for gpt-tokenizer. Code review also found a real hole in the central fail-safe argument: spine sufficiency is verified once at split time and never again, so load-bearing procedural text carrying no sentinel could later drift into a detail part with every check green. Sufficiency is not machine-decidable, so a fifth ongoing check is added -- a spine that loses lines which reappear in its parts fails unless the PR declares the boundary move. The ADR now states plainly that this is authoring discipline with a forced checkpoint, not a structural invariant, and that the partition relocates the Feature Review's cost rather than fully eliminating it.

Tom Boucher	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.

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).

Expected RED against the current shipped workflow text — the extraction anchors do not exist yet. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * 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.

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.

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.

Dennis Alexis Valin Dittrich	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. * chore(#3771): backfill the changeset PR number The pr: field is drift-checked against the PR event payload, so it cannot be written before the PR exists.

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 * chore(#3916): backfill changeset pr field to the upstream PR number Fork-validation CI needed pr: 1 to pass its own changeset-lint; restore pr: 3916 before this push reaches open-gsd/gsd-core. * fix(#3771): trim plan-phase.md prose back under the XL byte cap 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.

Will not be carried onto the branch backing upstream #3916 — that keeps pr: 3916. * 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 --------- Co-authored-by: davdittrich <davdittrich@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: CI Rebase Check <ci@gsd-redux> Co-authored-by: Test <test@test.com> Co-authored-by: Tom Boucher <trekkie@nomorestars.com>	2026-09-05 15:16:38 -04:00

Behruz Nassre Esfahani	5d804dd287	fix(#3709): clear the context-monitor warn sentinel on PreCompact (#3808) ... * fix(#3709): clear the context-monitor warn sentinel on PreCompact The monitor's per-session warn sentinel survived a compaction, so once the first CRITICAL of a session had fired, `lastLevel` stayed pinned at 'critical' for the rest of the run. The hook was already wired to PreCompact (#772), but read the event only at the very END, and solely to pick an output envelope. Two documented behaviours died as a result: - "First warning always fires immediately" — the first warning of the post-compaction cycle was debounced instead. - "Severity escalation (WARNING -> CRITICAL) bypasses debounce" — computed as `lastLevel === 'warning'`, which can never be true again, so every later CRITICAL waited out the full five-tool-use debounce, exactly when an immediate warning matters most. `criticalRecorded` was equally sticky: a session that compacted and later truly ran out kept a /gsd:resume-work breadcrumb (#1974) describing the earlier near-miss rather than the exhaustion that ended the run. Reproduced first, with the issue's own literal repro, including the detail that the compaction consumed a debounce slot (callsSinceWarn 0 -> 1). The reset runs BEFORE the metrics read, deliberately: a post-compaction reading is healthy again, so the ENOENT / stale / above-threshold branches would all exit first and never reach it. Returning early also stops the compaction from eating a slot of the cycle it was meant to restart. The event name is now read once through a shared `readEventName()` helper, so this reset and the #2289 output allowlist cannot drift on what counts as "no event name". Seven rows against a real sequence (the defect is state carried ACROSS calls, so they need their own driver — the existing helpers delete the sentinel after each invocation). Reverting the reset turns SIX of them red; the seventh is the non-vacuity row asserting a NON-compaction event must not clear the sentinel, which correctly passes either way. AC4 initially passed with and without the fix — asserting `criticalRecorded === true` is vacuous when the seeded stale sentinel already carries it. It now seeds a `staleProbe` marker that can only survive if the sentinel survives, so its absence is what proves the state was rebuilt. hooks/dist/ is gitignored and regenerated by build:hooks, so no committed dist copy needs syncing. Verified: `npm run lint:ci` exit 0; acceptance criteria 1-6 driven end-to-end against the real hook. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3709): reset ahead of the config gate, and pin the placement itself Codex review of the #3709 fix, before opening the PR. Three findings, all in this change's own new code. 1. `context_warnings: false` prevented the reset. The config early-exit sits ABOVE where the reset was placed, so a session that disabled warnings, compacted, then re-enabled them mid-session resurrected the stale sentinel and the original bug with it. Config is re-read per invocation, so that sequence is supported rather than hypothetical. The reset now runs ahead of the config gate: clearing the sentinel is CLEANUP, not a warning — state that must not outlive a compaction should not outlive it merely because warnings are switched off right now. It cannot emit anything from there, so the disabled contract is untouched. 2. Nothing pinned the "before the metrics read" placement. Every row wrote a fresh metrics file, so the reset could have been moved below the metrics read, the stale check, or the healthy-threshold exit with all seven rows still green — while a REAL PreCompact, which carries no fresh metrics and follows a recovery to healthy usage, silently kept its sentinel. Three rows now pin it: no metrics file at all, usage recovered to healthy, and warnings disabled. Each catches a distinct wrong placement — moving the reset below the config check reds the third; below the metrics read reds all three. 3. The absent-sentinel row proved nothing. `assert.doesNotThrow` was vacuous because the driver caught every child exit, so a hook that exited 1 on the ENOENT unlink would still have passed. The driver now returns the exit code and the row asserts it is 0. Also corrected the `readEventName` comment: it said the event is "read once", which is not literally true — there are two call sites. The point is one DEFINITION of what counts as an event name, so the reset and the #2289 allowlist cannot drift; the comment now says that. Verified: 60 rows in tests/perf-317-context-monitor-fs.test.cjs, 0 fail, with both placement mutations driven to red and reverted.

Backfilled to 3808 now that it does. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3709): a compaction clears the stale reading too, not just the state Review round 1. Major 1 was right and it mattered: clearing only the sentinel traded a warning that never fires for one that fires when it must not. The statusline bridge still holds the PRE-compaction reading, and STALE_SECONDS is 60, so for up to a minute it still reads fresh and still says the context is exhausted. With the sentinel gone, firstWarn is true, so the next PostToolUse emitted a spurious CONTEXT CRITICAL immediately after the compaction that FREED the context — and flipped criticalRecorded, spawning a false context-exhaustion breadcrumb. That is the same breadcrumb inaccuracy #3709 exists to fix, re-entered from the other side. Reproduced before fixing, exactly as the review described. A compaction now invalidates the warning state AND the reading that produced it. Removing the bridge loses nothing: the statusline owns that file and rewrites it on every render, and its absence is already the "no reading yet" state a fresh session starts in, which exits silently. Two things my own verification caught while fixing it: - The first attempt did NOTHING. metricsPath was declared below the PreCompact block, so referencing it hit the temporal dead zone, threw, and the outer catch swallowed it into a silent exit 0. The probe still printed "silent", which looked like success but was the old debounce. metricsPath is now hoisted beside warnPath. - The new Major 1 row was VACUOUS. The driver's `metrics: false` DELETES the bridge, but the defect is a bridge that is still there and still reads fresh, so the row passed on the ENOENT early-exit rather than on the fix. Only the sentinel-only mutation exposed it. The driver grew a `metrics: 'keep'` mode that leaves the stale file in place; both Major 1 rows now red under that mutation. Also from the review: - Minor 1 — the compaction-abort path is now stated in the source rather than left silent, including why a conditional reset (SessionStart source "compact") is out of scope for this fix. - Minor 2 — docs/context-monitor.md completed: PreCompact wiring and the early return under How It Works, a table of all three things the reset clears, the breadcrumb guard, the warnings-disabled interaction, and the never-block property under Safety. - Minor 3 — changeset trimmed from ~1,400 chars of implementation narration to the user-visible change. - Nit 1 — a failed unlink (Windows EPERM/EBUSY) no longer leaves the bug silently intact: the file is neutralised in place instead, with a shape safe for each (an empty sentinel, a timestamp-0 bridge). - Nit 2 — reviewer-process narration removed from shipped test source. The remaining "Codex" mentions are pre-existing and name the RUNTIME. - Nit 3 — the debounce-slot row now asserts the observable consequence (the first post-compaction warning fires) rather than repeating AC1's assertion. - Nit 4 — the file docblock now lists the folded-in blocks and asks the next contributor to extend it. Verified: `npm run lint:ci` exit 0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3709): the unlink-failure fallback truncates to empty, matching deletion The fallback wrote well-formed neutral values, and neither was equivalent to the deletion it stood in for: '{}' parses, so firstWarn was false and the first post-compaction warning was debounced — AC2 undone on exactly the path the fallback exists for — and '{"timestamp":0}' was never stale (the guard is `metrics.timestamp && ...`), so the flow reached emit with remaining === undefined and injected a literal 'Usage at undefined%'. Truncating to '' makes JSON.parse throw on both reads: the sentinel read keeps firstWarn true, the bridge read falls to the outer catch and exits 0 silently (review of #3808, Blocker 1). The branch is now executed for real: an EPERM is injected into the child's fs.unlinkSync via --require preload — method monkeypatching, never chmod 0o000, which root bypasses under Docker/CI (Blocker 2). Both rows proved failing-first against the neutral-value fallback. The boundary trios at WARNING=35 / CRITICAL=25 are completed on the emit path with 34, 26, and 24 (Major 3); 36/35/25 were already pinned. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3709): the truncation fallback refuses to follow a planted symlink The per-session files live in a shared sticky tmpdir, where an unlink failing EPERM is exactly what another user's planted file produces — and a planted SYMLINK would make the fallback's plain truncating write empty out its TARGET, weaponising the hook against any file its own user can write. Open with O_WRONLY|O_TRUNC|O_NOFOLLOW instead: a symlink fails ELOOP into the same give-up arm. On Windows the constant is absent and '|| 0' keeps the fallback alive there, where the held-handle case it exists for occurs and temp dirs are per-user. Found by Codex review; the new row proved failing-first against the writeFileSync fallback (victim file truncated to zero bytes). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3709): refuse non-regular files everywhere, not only where O_NOFOLLOW exists Codex round 2: '|| 0' removed the no-follow protection exactly where it cannot be expressed as an open flag — Windows, whose tmpdir is NOT guaranteed per-user (TEMP/TMP overrides, system-temp fallback). An lstat isFile() guard now rejects symlinks and every other non-regular shape on all platforms before the truncating open; O_NOFOLLOW stays, as the lstat->open substitution-race backstop where the platform has it. The symlink row additionally asserts the planted link SURVIVES the call, so a preload match that stops engaging can no longer pass the row vacuously off a successful unlink. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(#3709): tolerate the Windows give-up, still outlaw neutral values Both windows-latest CI lanes fail the two EPERM rows deterministically: the runners hold freshly written files with a share mode that allows DELETE (every real-unlink row passes) but refuses a truncating write-open, so the fallback's give-up arm engages — which is the fallback working as designed, not the defect the rows exist to catch. The rows are now platform-aware: POSIX still requires exact truncation and the behavioural follow-ons; Windows accepts truncated-or-untouched but still rejects the Blocker-1 regression class (a parseable neutral value is never legal anywhere), with the follow-ons gated on the truncation actually landing. Also corrects the hook comment: libuv defines O_NOFOLLOW as 0 on Windows — a no-op, not an absent constant. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3709): a compaction watermark closes the window bridge deletion only narrowed Round-3 Major 1: the statusline is an uncoordinated process that re-writes the bridge on every render, so a render landing between the PreCompact clear and the compaction's completion re-created the PRE-compaction reading under a CURRENT timestamp — past STALE_SECONDS, into a spurious post-compaction CRITICAL and a false exhaustion breadcrumb: the exact failure the deletion was added to prevent. PreCompact now also writes claude-ctx-<id>-compacted.json ({at}) and the metrics read drops any reading not STRICTLY newer than it — which also covers unstamped/zero timestamps once a compaction happened. Written unlink-then-O_EXCL so a planted file or symlink is never followed; failure degrades to the old narrowing. Docs and changeset now describe the watermark instead of overclaiming for the deletion. Round-3 Major 2: DEBOUNCE_CALLS and STALE_SECONDS get their trios — the gate increments BEFORE comparing, so seeds 3/4/5 pin 4-debounced, 5-emits, 6-emits; ages 59/60/61 pin the strict >. The child's clock is pinned via a --require preload (a wall-clock boundary row would flip on one second of startup delay). timestamp-0's falsy bypass is pinned directly as characterized behaviour. Mutation-proven: dropping O_NOFOLLOW, <= for <, and >= for > each red exactly one row. Minors: the symlink row's comment now names the lstat guard it actually pins, and a preload-blinded-lstat row drives the O_NOFOLLOW substitution -race backstop for real (3); absence assertions use warnRaw so a corrupt leftover cannot pass as deleted (4); the Windows give-up is an explicit t.skip, never a silent if (5); readEventName is total via String(), keeping #2289's side-effects-always-run contract for malformed event names, with a row (6); the PreCompact rationale lives once in docs/context-monitor.md with the code keeping only line-level constraints (9); the changeset is release-note-sized (10). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3709): the grace window covers the compaction's duration, not just its start Codex on the first watermark cut: the watermark stamps the compaction's START, so a statusline render one second later — still mid-compaction, still the old reading — passed 'strictly newer' and re-fired the false CRITICAL. Readings inside COMPACT_GRACE_SECONDS (60) past the watermark are now dropped: the window covers the compaction's own duration, a healthy reading dropped there behaves identically to an accepted one (it exits above-threshold anyway), and a genuine exhaustion warning is delayed at most one window after a compact. A watermark stamped ahead of the reader's clock is ignored — a clock step backwards or a stray file must degrade to plain staleness, never mute the monitor indefinitely. Both proven failing-first. readEventName is strict about TYPE, not coerced: String() rendered ['PreCompact'] as 'PreCompact' and would run the reset off a malformed payload. typeof: every non-string is 'no event' — silent, side effects intact — with rows for the number, hostile-object, and array-wrapped cases. The lstat-claim preload arm now writes an engagement marker the substitution-race row asserts on, so a match string that silently stops matching can no longer let the row pass off the real lstat guard. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: retrigger CI — the previous wave was cancelled by an Actions outage, zero job failures Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3709): drive the compaction rows on the clock, not on a future stamp Round-4 review raised three majors, all in the test scaffolding around the fix rather than in the fix itself. Major 2 (taken first — it is the cheapest and it unblocks Minor 6): call() passed process.env to the child unmodified, so two rows depended on ambient GEMINI_API_KEY. The preserved Gemini fallback is `eventName === "" && !!process.env.GEMINI_API_KEY`, and readEventName returns "" for every malformed name, so with the key set the malformed-event row's `stdout === ''` assertion failed outright — reproduced by running it under GEMINI_API_KEY=x. call() now takes an explicit env, the way the sibling runMonitor helper in this file always has, and both rows pin the variable unset. (The array row survived an ambient key only because its reading was debounced — incidental, not independence, so it is pinned too.) Major 1: the AC2/AC3 rows drove the hook with a bridge stamped 62 seconds in the FUTURE — a shape hooks/gsd-statusline.js cannot produce, since it always stamps Math.floor(Date.now()/1000) on the same clock. They proved "the sentinel was cleared" while their assertion messages claimed the documented immediate-warning behaviour, which is gated behind the grace window and went unexercised. Both rows now run the real sequence on the clock-pinning preload this PR already added for the STALE trio: PreCompact at a fixed instant, then a normally-stamped render one second past the window. Verified non-vacuous — stubbing the sentinel unlink reds both. Major 3: COMPACT_GRACE_SECONDS, the one constant this PR introduces, was the only threshold without a limit-1/limit/limit+1 trio, in a PR that adds full trios for four pre-existing ones. The seeded offsets were +0, +1 and +61; the boundary itself (+60) and limit-1 (+59) were untested. Added, driven by advancing the reader's clock rather than post-dating the reading, so the reading is never ahead of the reader and only the grace gate can drop it. Verified against three mutations — `>` to `>=`, the constant to 59, and the constant to 61 — each of which reds exactly one row of the trio. No production code changed. Verified: 85/85 in this file, lint:ci exit 0, and the two Minor-6 rows now pass under GEMINI_API_KEY=x as well as unset. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01EAbQy7n4mLMB7h3TnZ8GdG * fix(#3709): harden the watermark read and pin the thresholds it introduces Codex review of the full PR found four majors. All reproduced here against the real hook before fixing. MAJOR — the watermark was write-hardened but read-untrusted. PreCompact already refuses to follow or overwrite a planted object (unlink-then-O_EXCL), but the read was a bare readFileSync, so anything the write side gave up on was followed by every later invocation. In a shared sticky os.tmpdir() that is a mute primitive — a planted recent watermark suppresses monitoring — and a symlink to a FIFO stalls a synchronous read. Measured against the pre-hardening file: a symlink to a planted watermark WAS honored and muted the monitor. The read now uses the same lstat + O_NOFOLLOW pair the sentinel path uses, plus a size bound; symlink, directory and oversized cases are all refused, with a plain-file control proving watermarks still work. MAJOR — the `now + 5` skew tolerance was an unnamed, untested threshold. It is now WATERMARK_SKEW_SECONDS with a +4/+5/+6 trio, verified against two mutations (`<=` to `<`, and the constant to 6), each of which reds one row. This is the same class as round 4's Major 3, one layer up. MAJOR — the malformed-event row shared one session across both subcases, so the hostile-object iteration's `assert.ok(s.warn())` passed off the sentinel the `42` iteration left behind. A regression throwing before the bookkeeping would have kept it green — vacuous for exactly the subcase it exists for. Fresh session per subcase, with an explicit no-sentinel precondition. MAJOR — the stale-reading row's non-vacuity is an artifact of call()'s future stamp: with a production stamp the watermark suppresses the same reading, so the row cannot isolate bridge deletion. The two guards genuinely overlap inside the window, so no end-to-end row can separate them; the comment now says so and points at the direct pin (s.metrics() === null) instead of claiming an isolation it does not have. Docs corrected where measurement contradicted them: the window NARROWS the race rather than covering the compaction's duration, and the delay is not bounded by the window alone — first recovery is watermark+61s with no skew but watermark+66s at the accepted +5s skew. Aborted compactions are muted the same way. The truncation fallback is documented as best-effort, which is what the code and the Windows rows already do. Verified: 89/89 in this file, lint:ci exit 0, symlink/directory/oversize all refused where the pre-hardening file honored them, both new trios mutation-checked. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01EAbQy7n4mLMB7h3TnZ8GdG * fix(#3709): move the PR's two new exits onto the declared-policy vocabulary #3911 / ADR-3889 migrated this hook off raw process.exit() while this PR was in review, replacing every exit with hooks/lib/hook-exit.js's allow(), which forces each call site to name its crash policy. The PreCompact reset and the watermark gate are added by THIS PR, so they did not exist to be migrated and came through the merge as the only two raw exits left in the file — caught by the new local/require-registered-exit rule. Both are ALLOW: a compaction is never blocked by this hook, which is the policy the rest of the file declares. Caught only in CI, not locally: `npm run lint` runs eslint with --cache, and the cached entry for this file predated the new rule, so a warm local cache reported clean. Re-verified with the cache cleared. allow() terminates rather than throwing, which matters for the watermark call site because it sits inside a try/catch — a throwing helper would unwind into that catch and silently drop the grace-window mute. Verified behaviourally, not by reading: the grace trio, the skew trio and the non-regular-file rows all still pass. Verified: lint:ci exit 0 with a cold eslint cache, full suite exit 0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01EAbQy7n4mLMB7h3TnZ8GdG * fix(#3709): harden the routine sentinel writes and the read beside them Round 7 ruled that the three routine debounce-accounting writes to the warn sentinel must match the three writes this PR already hardened: leaving the fourth unhardened beside them is the asymmetry that invites the defect back. They now go through one writeSentinel() helper using the compaction watermark's own unlink-then-O_EXCL shape, rather than a second policy — the unlink removes any existing object, and O_EXCL then refuses to create through one, so a write can only land on a fresh regular file this process made. The routine READ beside them was the last bare readFileSync on warnPath, and the same rationale applies to it verbatim; the watermark's read was hardened in round 4 for exactly this reason. Same lstat + O_NOFOLLOW + size bound. Its scope is stated in the test rather than overclaimed: lstat establishes that the sentinel is a plain regular file, not that it is trustworthy, so a cross-owner regular file at the predictable path is still read and is left as a disclosed pre-existing residual. Also fixes an accept-direction regression this PR introduced and six rounds of review missed. readEventName collapsed an ABSENT event name and a MALFORMED one onto the same '', and the preserved Gemini fallback keys off eventName === "", so with GEMINI_API_KEY set a malformed payload began emitting an AfterTool envelope. At the merge-base, data.hook_event_name.trim() threw on a truthy non-string after the side effects and nothing was ever emitted. Measured base-vs-head with a fresh sentinel per run: 42, ['PreCompact'] and {} all went silent -> EMITS, while an absent name and 'PostToolUse' were unchanged. readEventName now returns '' only for an absent name and null for a present-but-non-string one; both call sites compare for equality only, so every well-formed payload behaves identically. Five new rows, each proven fail-first with the mutations attributed separately: reverting the writes reds the write-through and non-regular rows, reverting the read reds the mute and non-regular rows, and reverting the absent/malformed split reds the Gemini row. The changeset's "behaves like a fresh session" is narrowed to name the 60-second suppression window and the best-effort reset. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018FUAVz49BghqxoJgwt7EW9 * test(#3709): pin both 4096-byte read bounds at their boundaries Round 8 asked for limit-1/limit/limit+1 coverage on the size bound the round-7 sentinel read-hardening introduced (gsd-context-monitor.js:335). The existing refusal row pads to 8192 -- a full 4096 bytes clear of the fence -- so `>` vs `>=`, or an off-by-one in the constant itself, was invisible to it. Covers the sibling bound too. The identical check guards the round-4 WATERMARK read at :278 and its refusal row pads to 8192 in exactly the same way; the review's own rationale (this file already holds WATERMARK_SKEW_SECONDS to a boundary trio, so an uncovered bound is the odd one out) applies to it unchanged. That half is a class sweep of a pre-existing bound and is test-only -- say the word and it comes out without touching the rest. Both trios assert on observable hook output rather than an internal error. Sentinel: an honored {callsSinceWarn:1,lastLevel:'warning'} keeps the debounce arm taken at remaining=30, so nothing is emitted, while a refused one falls back to first-warn defaults and emits. Watermark: honored mutes (stdout empty), refused leaves the warning. The 4097 row is the non-vacuity control for the two accept rows. Payloads are sized by measurement, with Buffer.byteLength asserted to equal the target, not by arithmetic on an assumed prefix width. Proven fail-first in both directions, with the hook restored after: `> 4096` -> `>= 4096` reds both trios (94/96); `> 4096` -> `> 4097` reds both trios (94/96); restored, 96/96. Under both mutations only the two new rows fail -- the pre-existing 8192-padded rows stay green, which is the review's fencepost claim demonstrated rather than assumed. * fix(#3709): correct the changeset's mute-window claim and a superseded comment Both from the pre-push Codex pass on the full PR. The changeset said readings are "suppressed for up to 60 seconds after a compaction starts". That is false at the accepted skew boundary, and this repo's own docs/context-monitor.md already carried the accurate figure: first recovery is watermark+61s with no skew and watermark+66s for a watermark at the +5s skew limit. Measured independently at +64 silent, +65 silent, +66 warning. The changeset now states the window plus the accepted skew, matching the doc rather than contradicting it. A comment in the malformed-event row still described readEventName as returning "" for every malformed name. Round 7 superseded that: a present-but-non-string name returns null and only an ABSENT one returns "", so a malformed payload can no longer reach the Gemini fallback at all. Marked as historical and corrected. The GEMINI_API_KEY pin stays -- the row is about readEventName's typing, not the fallback, and an ambient key would still change what it measures. Codex's three Major findings are not taken, on attribution rather than logic; the reasoning is in the PR reply. In short: the watermark does not exist at the merge-base at all (0 occurrences), so "base emits, HEAD mutes" compares a new feature against its absence rather than showing a regression; and the base sentinel read is a bare readFileSync, which blocks on a planted FIFO exactly as the hardened read would, so the TOCTOU stall is not introduced here. The underlying limits -- watermark provenance, and lstat->open races on a non-symlink substitution -- are real, pre-existing, and already offered to the maintainer as follow-ups. * fix(#3709): read both sentinels through one hardened helper; state the two limits precisely Round 9's Major, with a correction to its premise, and both Minors. The review names "watermark read/write helpers this PR adds" that a call site at :238-250 duplicates inline. There are no such helpers: this PR adds readEventName and writeSentinel, the latter a write-side primitive a read cannot call, and :238-248 is base code the diff never touched. What IS duplicated is the hardened READ. The watermark read (round 4) and the warnPath read (round 7) are the same ten lines twice -- lstat, isFile and a 4096-byte bound, O_RDONLY|O_NOFOLLOW, readSync, close -- differing only in the path variable and the error string, and that is two copies to keep in step by hand. Now one function, readSentinel(target), beside writeSentinel. Refusal throws; both callers already wrapped the read in a try/catch that degrades to "no file", so behaviour is unchanged by construction. Proven rather than assumed: with the helper replaced by a bare readFileSync in a complete scratch tree, exactly the five hardened-read rows in tests/perf-317-context-monitor-fs.test.cjs go red -- round 7's symlinked and non-regular sentinel and its size bound, round 4's non-regular watermark, round 8's watermark size bound -- so the helper carries both call sites' guarantees and the rows pin it. 96/96 with the helper in place. Minor, drop vs delay: the grace-window comment said "dropped" on one line and "delayed" three lines later, and docs/context-monitor.md said "delayed". A genuine exhaustion reading inside the window is skipped, not queued: its warning and its #1974 breadcrumb both fire on the next reading after the window, so both are delayed when a later reading comes and lost when none does -- a session ending inside the window records neither. Comment and docs now say exactly that, and that the loss is accepted over trusting a reading that may be the pre-compaction value under a fresh timestamp. Minor, ordering: the PreCompact unlink and the debounce writeSentinel(warnPath) are two writers with nothing serialising them; a debounce invocation that read pre-compaction state and lands its write after the unlink would resurrect the sentinel the reset removes. The hook relies on the host dispatching a session's hooks one at a time, which Claude Code does and the other runtimes are assumed to. Stated at the reset as an assumption, with the lock-file alternative named and not taken. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01TadqrpTE2m6gCB7CaNNLcy * fix(#3709): write the compaction watermark through writeSentinel Review of #3808, round 10. The PreCompact watermark write was the block writeSentinel was lifted from in round 7, and it kept its own inline copy of unlink-then-O_EXCL a few lines below the helper. Round 9 flagged that write-side duplication; the round-9 reply misread it as the read side and unified only the reads. The write now calls the helper too, so the hook holds one copy of the hardened write, not two. Behaviour is unchanged: same unlink-then-O_EXCL sequence, same flags, same best-effort outer catch. The one difference is that writeSentinel closes the descriptor in a finally, where the inline copy leaked it if writeSync threw before closeSync. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01R7bQLXAKubb4EFLtCPiLiL * fix(#3709): read the statusline bridge through the same hardening as the sentinels Review of #3808, round 11. `metricsPath` is built one line from `warnPath` and `watermarkPath` — same tmpdir, same predictable `claude-ctx-{sessionId}` shape, same threat model this PR documents at length for its siblings — and it is the only one of the three read on EVERY invocation. It was also the only one still reached by a bare `readFileSync`, so the symlink-follow and the symlink-to-FIFO stall that rounds 4 and 7 closed on the other two stayed reachable here, on the file's highest-traffic path. It now goes through `readSentinel` like the rest. The 4096-byte bound is ample for it: the statusline writes four fixed fields (`gsd-statusline.js`), about 140 bytes with a UUID session id, so no legitimate bridge approaches it. A refusal lands in the same rethrow an unreadable or malformed bridge already did. The comment introducing `readSentinel` claimed the warn sentinel was "the one bare readFileSync". Read as scoped to `warnPath` that was true, but it reads as a claim about the file and it is not one — the bridge kept its own until this round. Corrected rather than left to mislead the next reader. Round 11 Minor: `readSentinel` discarded `fs.readSync`'s return value and assumed the buffer was full, so a file truncated between the `lstat` and the read left a zero-filled tail. It now refuses a short read. Stated plainly because it was measured: this guard has NO observable behavioural delta — deleting it leaves the new row green, because the NUL tail makes `JSON.parse` throw one line later and both paths degrade to "no sentinel". It is a consistency fix in a function whose purpose is refusing to trust what it read, and the test comment says exactly that rather than implying coverage it lacks. Five rows added: the bridge refusing a planted symlink (with an attacker-chosen reading that WOULD warn if followed, so silence is proof), a non-regular bridge, an oversized bridge, the shrink path end to end, and the direction that matters most — a healthy bridge still warns, so the hardening is not a mute. Proven by mutation: reverting the bridge to `readFileSync` reddens two rows. The shrink injection carries an engagement marker for the same reason the lstat-claim one does, learned the same way: the hook rewrites the sentinel later in the invocation, so a size check afterwards passes whether the truncation landed or not. An independent full-PR pass on this round added two more, both taken: `writeSentinel` discarded `fs.writeSync`'s return value, and a short write is permitted by the syscall — so a truncated sentinel could reach disk and every later read would reject it, silently losing the debounce accounting or the watermark this write exists to record. It now loops until the payload is written, as Node's own `writeFileSync` does, with an explicit no-progress guard. Pinned by a row that injects a one-byte first write; reverting the loop reddens it. The directory row's comment claimed it pinned the `lstat` isFile() check. It does not — measured: deleting that condition leaves the row green, because reading a directory fails on its own a line later. The comment now says the row pins the outcome, and names the symlink row as the one that pins isFile(). DISCLOSED, NOT FIXED HERE — a session id long enough to push the derived filenames past NAME_MAX. The bridge is `claude-ctx-{id}.json`; the sentinel and watermark add longer suffixes, so on a 255-byte limit the watermark stops fitting at a 230-character id and the sentinel at 233. Measured base-vs-HEAD at 233+: base is SILENT, HEAD emits the warning, because the bare `writeFileSync` base used threw ENAMETOOLONG out of the warning path while `writeSentinel` degrades best-effort and lets the warning through. That is an accept-direction delta and it is in the delivering direction — base swallowed a warning the user should have seen, which is this issue's own failure class. The underlying limit is a property of the per-session filename scheme, shared by two files that predate this PR, and bounding session ids belongs to whatever writes them (`gsd-statusline.js`), not to the sentinel logic.

Dennis Alexis Valin Dittrich	5869febb16	enhance(#4155): invalidate verification results when covered inputs change (#4290) ... * enhance(#4155): invalidate verification results when covered inputs change readVerificationStatus() now recomputes a deterministic sha256 fingerprint over a VERIFICATION.md's declared covered_files (phase PLAN/SUMMARY, requirements, implementation files in the verified change set) and returns stale on any mismatch, fail-closed when a covered file is missing, unreadable, or escapes the project root. Legacy reports with no fingerprint metadata keep the prior SUMMARY-mtime staleness check unchanged. The verifier computes covered_digest via the new verification.fingerprint CLI command rather than by hand, since a digest is deterministic math, not an LLM-estimated value. * chore(#4155): backfill fork PR number in changeset * fix(#4155): trim gsd-verifier.md fingerprint instructions to fit LARGE tier byte cap * fix(#4155): address CodeRabbit findings on fingerprint fail-closed behavior Partial fingerprint metadata (one of covered_files/covered_digest present, the other missing or malformed) now fails closed to stale instead of silently downgrading to the legacy mtime-only check. computeCoveredDigest also canonicalizes with realpathSync before re-confining, so an in-root symlink whose target escapes the project root can no longer produce a matching digest. gsd-verifier.md restores the completeness requirement and checklist item trimmed by the earlier size-budget fix, within the LARGE tier byte cap. * chore(#4155): acknowledge gsd-verifier.md growth for the #4155 fingerprint instructions Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-verifier.md — adds the covered-input fingerprint instructions and frontmatter fields the #4155 verification staleness mechanism requires; trimmed to stay within the LARGE tier byte cap * fix(#4155): address gemini adversarial review findings computeCoveredDigest now threads the caller-supplied opts.fs seam through its confinement and read paths instead of always using raw node:fs — a caller like planning-inspect.cts's containmentEnforcingVerificationFs (GAP 2, #2790 follow-up) was silently bypassed for covered-input reads. The project-root anchor itself still canonicalizes through real fs (it is a trusted value the caller derived, not attacker-influenced covered-input data); only per-file candidate reads go through the injected seam. Covered-file paths are now canonicalized (./ prefixes, redundant slashes, internal .. segments) before becoming dedup/sort/hash keys or confinement subjects — closes both a spurious-stale false positive (two spellings of the same file hashing differently) and a confinement gap (an internal .. segment that doesn't start the string). gsd-verifier.md now states covered-file paths are project-root-relative, not phaseDir-relative, closing an ambiguity that would have made a real verifier agent's first fingerprint invocation fail closed. defaultFsImpl's methods now late-bind through fs.<method> rather than capturing function references at module load — the earlier direct-capture form was invisible to existing tests' t.mock.method(fs, 'statSync', ...) seams, a real regression caught by the full suite (not the reviewer). * fix(#4155): catch a plan/summary added to the phase dir after verification but never declared The content digest only recomputes hashes for paths the verifier actually declared in covered_files — it had no way to notice a plan or summary added to the phase directory after verification if that new file was never declared, silently regressing behind the legacy mtime check it replaces (which scans the live directory, not a declared list). findUncoveredCurrentArtifact re-scans the live phase directory for every current *-PLAN.md/*-SUMMARY.md and requires each to be represented in covered_files, closing that gap; a directory scan failure fails closed to stale rather than silently skipping the check. CONTEXT.md's Verification Module entry corrected to describe the fingerprint path's stricter fail-closed FS-error contract (routes to stale) instead of the module's original degrade-to-safe one (missing / not-stale), which only the legacy path still keeps. * refactor(#4155): extract canonicalizeCoveredFiles, add real nested-project e2e test computeCoveredDigest and cmdVerificationFingerprint each normalized/deduped/ sorted covered_files independently — one shared helper now backs both (gemini review's ponytail-lens finding). Adds one CLI-to-readVerificationStatus test against a genuine .planning/phases/NN-x/ project with an implementation file outside .planning/ entirely, closing the review finding that prior #4155 unit fixtures put phaseDir directly under an ownerless tmpdir (findProjectRoot falls back to phaseDir itself there) and never exercised real multi-level path resolution. * fix(#4155): route computeCoveredDigest through real fs, fail closed on unreadable plans/ Two independent review rounds (opus critical-reviewer + opus ponytail + agy, run twice) found two instances of the same fail-open class: - computeCoveredDigest's per-file reads routed through the caller's injected fsImpl. planning-inspect.cts passes a `.planning/`-confined containment fs into readVerificationStatus's opts.fs, so any covered implementation file outside `.planning/` (mandatory per the issue) made the confinement wrapper throw, which was caught and turned into a stale digest -- reporting every fingerprinted phase permanently stale via `planning.inspect`, regardless of actual drift. Per-file reads now always use real node:fs, matching the pre-existing treatment of root canonicalization; the realRel-vs-realRoot check is the real confinement boundary for this data and needs no seam. - allCurrentArtifactsCovered's try/catch never fired (scanPhasePlans reports readdir failures via a `scope` field, it never throws), so an unreadable nested plans/ dir was silently treated as "zero artifacts, all covered" instead of failing closed. Now branches on scope !== SCOPE.COMPLETE. Also, per ponytail's second-round findings: reverted an unwarranted FINGERPRINT_VERSION bump and digest length-prefix from the first fix (no v1 digest has ever existed -- the feature is unreleased -- and the prefix closed a collision that grants no capability beyond what a writer of covered_files already has more cheaply); removed a verifier-facing escape-hatch instruction whose own example was a case that should trigger staleness, not bypass it; corrected CONTEXT.md references to the renamed allCurrentArtifactsCovered and a stale "unconditional" rescan claim; simplified the isStale derivation, removed dead FsLike members, and tightened test coverage. Regression tests for both fail-open bugs are included and were each confirmed to fail against the pre-fix code before the fix landed. full test suite: 2558/2560 pass, 2 skipped, 0 fail * fix(#4155): trim gsd-verifier.md under the LARGE size cap Fork CI caught what my local runs missed: the superseded/nested-plans instruction added earlier pushed gsd-verifier.md to 49299 bytes, 147 over the LARGE tier's 49152-byte hard cap (tests/agent-size-budget.test.cjs). Tightened the #4155 instruction's wording and dropped a redundant inline comment tag; no content lost. * chore(#4155): point changeset at the upstream PR number pr: 19 was the fork PR opened for internal review-lane CI; now that open-gsd/gsd-core#4290 exists, the changeset field must match it per CONTRIBUTING.md's release-notes convention. --------- Co-authored-by: Test <test@test.com> Co-authored-by: Tom Boucher <trekkie@nomorestars.com>	2026-09-05 05:42:52 -04:00
Behruz Nassre Esfahani	5ad9a36f35	fix(#4255): resolve reviewer-lane effort from the lane, not from gsd-plan-checker (#4275) ... `review-lane plan` resolved every cross-AI reviewer lane's reasoning effort by spawning `query resolve-execution gsd-plan-checker --host <slug>`. The agent id was a hardcoded literal, so `--host` chose only the argv RENDERING while the LEVEL always came from the installed plan-checker's frontmatter — `low` under every shipped model profile. Every prompt-fed lane therefore ran at a fast structural verifier's effort, and because the rendered argument is a CLI config override it silently beat the effort the operator had configured for that CLI. At `low` a large source-grounded prompt makes a model end its turn with no final message, so the lane came back empty and its stub read as a crash. Effort is a property of the review, so the lane declares it. Two new fields on ReviewerLane — `effortConfigKey` (`review.effort.<slug>`) and `defaultEffort` — carried through each capability manifest and the generated registry, set on the three lanes with an argv effort channel and null on the other nine. A new pure `resolveLaneEffort()` resolves config key -> lane default -> nothing, where "nothing" emits no effort argument at all and the reviewer CLI's own configuration decides; `inherit` selects that path explicitly and an unrecognized level falls back to the lane default rather than being forwarded to a CLI that would reject it. The host's negotiated effortSurface still gates the rendering, so ADR-1239/#2481's trust boundary holds on this path too. Resolving in-process also removes up to twelve subprocess spawns per review. The empty-output stub now names the effort the lane ran at and distinguishes a clean exit from a timeout kill, a non-zero exit, and a process that never ran — `status` is null for both a timeout and a signal, so those were indistinguishable before. The hint is hedged: a clean empty exit is most often a model stopping short, but it is also consistent with a CLI writing its output elsewhere. Also: the capability validator now knows both fields, rejects a malformed key or an out-of-vocabulary default, and rejects a default declared without a config key (a level the operator could never override). An existing end-to-end row in tests/effort-surface-axis.test.cjs asserted the old coupling; it now configures the lane's own key and pins the decoupling in the same real spawn, with the agent execution tier set to a level that must not appear. Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: review.md — the effort/model resolution-order table this fix adds. The workflow is where an operator looks to find out which knob set a lane's model and effort; leaving the new key undocumented there is the same invisibility that made the plan-checker coupling survive this long.

Documents Kilo's inherent `{server}_{tool}` MCP-permission-key collision (external, fixed format — not ours to widen) and locks the existing first-seen-wins resolution in with a regression test. Opts kimi/kimi-code out of the ADR-1235 pre-converter path-rewrite step: routing Kimi through that pipeline (needed so project-scoped agent_tools selectors reach it) was short-circuiting Kimi's own neutralizeKimiAgentPrompt, which expects the original ~/.claude/gsd-core text rather than a pre-rewritten Kimi path. Extends the fast-check token pool and per-runtime install coverage with the missing comment/comma/broad-runtime cases the prior review flagged as untested. * docs(#4032): add CONTEXT.md glossary entries for agent_tools resolver + pre-converter step Documents readGsdEffectiveAgentTools (Install Model Override Resolver Module) and the appendAgentTools pre-converter pipeline step (Runtime Artifact Conversion Module), per contributor-standards.md's new-seam glossary requirement (finding 1). * fix(#4032): address agy adversarial review findings An agy (gemini-3.8-flash-high) adversarial pass over the prior review-fix commit found the fixes for findings 3, 4, 6 and 8 had unfixed sibling gaps, plus a genuine new regression and two CONTEXT.md inaccuracies: - ZCode's comment-only `tools: # note` header matched the inline-value branch instead of falling through to the block-list scan, so a following mcp__* item leaked through unstripped — the exact defect finding 4 fixed in appendAgentTools, unfixed in this sibling function. - Reverted capabilities/kimi-code/capability.json's noPathRewrite: true. kimi-code uses the standard 'agents' kind with converter: null (not kimi-agents — confirmed by reading the descriptor, not its prose description), so it never went through the pipeline change finding 5 fixed, and disabling its path rewrite broke every ~/.claude/ embed in its shipped agents instead. - decodeToolScalar never stripped a trailing ` # comment` from a bare (unquoted) scalar, so a comment after a block-list item, or after an appended grant on an inline line, became part of the "tool name" — fixed at the source (one call site fixes every consumer). - appendAgentTools's comment-index scan wasn't quote-aware, so a `#` inside a quoted scalar (`"mcp__server #1"`) was mistaken for a comment start and corrupted the quote. - parseFrontmatterTools (Kimi/Qwen's tool-list reader, downstream of appendAgentTools's own output) had the same naive comma-split and comment-only-header gaps as findings 4 and 6, unpatched. - The all-runtime smoke test's presence assertion was built on a guessed omit-list; empirically only 7 of 17 runtimes keep an arbitrary mcp__ grant recognizable, replaced with a verified allowlist. - CONTEXT.md claimed a `project:<agent>` selector prefix that does not exist (project override is a same-key merge across two config files) and mislabeled stageAgentsForRuntimeWithConverter's module. * fix(#4032): address full-PR review (Opus critical/ponytail + agy) A whole-PR pass (critical-code-reviewer + ponytail-review on Opus, plus a second agy full-source adversarial pass) surfaced defects the earlier finding-scoped passes couldn't reach: - appendAgentTools corrupted a `tools:` line whose ENTIRE value is a leading quoted scalar (`tools: "Read"` -> `tools: "Read", Write`, invalid YAML) — there is no safe line-surgical rewrite here, so it now refuses to touch that shape instead of emitting broken frontmatter. - decodeToolScalar's malformed-trailing-quote check ran BEFORE comment stripping, so a bare tool name with a quote inside its own trailing comment (`Bash # note: "internal"`) was wrongly rejected. Reordered. - findUnquotedCommentIndex (added in the prior remediation commit) was built on a wrong model of YAML: a `#` after whitespace starts a real comment in a plain scalar regardless of nearby quote characters — verified against the actual parser. The one case that DOES need protection (a leading quoted scalar) is now refused outright above, so the quote-tracking scan was dead weight solving a problem that no longer reaches it. Removed; reverted to the plain `[ \t]#` scan. - Kilo has a SEPARATE agent-frontmatter parser (convertClaudeToKiloFrontmatter, distinct from the buildKiloAgentPermissionBlock fixed earlier) with the same comment-only-header and naive-comma-split gaps as findings 4 and 6 — unfixed in both its src/ and bin/install.js copies. Fixed in both, exporting splitToolScalars for bin/install.js to reuse rather than reimplementing it. - Pipeline docstring in stageAgentsForRuntimeWithConverter still listed 5 steps, omitting appendAgentTools (now step 3 of 6). - docs/CONFIGURATION.md didn't state that a --global install still discovers agent_tools from the cwd's .planning/config.json (confirmed intentional and already covered by a dedicated test, not a bug). - Removed install-engine.cts's deps.cwd injection seam: zero callers or tests ever populated it. Two claims from this round were verified and rejected, not fixed: prototype pollution via a `__proto__` selector key (empirically confirmed `Object.prototype` is never touched — only reassigns the resolver's own local object's prototype, with no observable effect), and a `*` grant value crashing YAML parsing as an alias reference (empirically confirmed it parses as plain scalar text, no crash). A pre-existing, unrelated defect (extractFrontmatterField returns null for block-list `tools:` on Copilot/Antigravity/Cursor/Codex/Qwen, affecting two shipped agents today) was filed as a follow-up rather than fixed here — it predates #4032 and isn't caused or worsened by this PR. * fix(#4032): update stale slug-derivation-drift-guard fixture line normalizeKimiSkillName's real closing brace moved from line 616 to 635 as a side effect of this PR's edits to runtime-artifact-conversion.cts; the MAJOR-1 fixture's hardcoded realEndLine had gone stale. * fix(#4032): address CodeRabbit findings on projectDir threading and flow-sequence tools bin/install.js's installAgentsKindStandalone call site omitted the projectDir argument the function already supports, so a global install through this legacy branch silently fell back to the runtime config dir instead of process.cwd() when resolving project-scoped agent_tools grants — inconsistent with the sibling installOpencodeFamilyArtifacts call site, which already threads it correctly. appendAgentTools' leading-quoted-scalar bailout did not cover a YAML flow sequence (`tools: [Bash, Read]`): splitToolScalars tore it apart on the in-sequence commas and appended past its closing bracket, producing invalid frontmatter. Extended the bailout regex to also refuse a value starting with `[`, matching the same "whole node, nothing may follow" reasoning already applied to quoted scalars. --------- Co-authored-by: CI Rebase Check <ci@gsd-redux> Co-authored-by: Test <test@test.com> Co-authored-by: Tom Boucher <trekkie@nomorestars.com>	2026-09-05 04:52:45 -04:00

An LLM agent reading the workflow top-to-bottom could satisfy "proceed to install" without ever reaching the fail-closed exit this PR adds, reopening the ill-defined mutating path #4153 closes. Reorder so the unresolved-target gate runs first and scope the VERSION-missing bullet to require an already-resolved target. Also drop two vacuous mutationSpies entries: they checked '--sync'/ '--reapply' (commands/gsd/update.md content) against `step`, a slice of workflows/update.md — always -1 regardless of correctness.

Cody Anderson	77e2472ca0	enhance(#4221): replace installer Read() deny rules with a managed secret-read guard hook (#4236) ... * feat(#4221): gsd-secret-read-guard PreToolUse hook + registration Add hooks/gsd-secret-read-guard.js, a blocking PreToolUse guard on Read|Grep|Bash that denies reads of .env, .env.<suffix> and .secrets (the .env.example/.sample/.template/.dist templates stay readable). Read checks file_path; Grep checks an explicit path and judges the glob per brace alternative; Bash runs a two-pass token scan (quotes, comments, redirects with fd digits, separators, $( )/backtick/<( ) recursion, heredoc bodies never scanned as commands, nested bash -c/eval rescans, git <ref>:<path> shapes) with a closed non-reading exemption set for existence checks. Fail-open crash policy; 1 MiB commands are denied as command-too-large; more than 64 glob alternatives as glob-too-complex. Why: Claude Code 2.1.259 makes every `cd DIR && grep …` compound prompt for approval whenever any Read() deny rule exists, even in auto mode. A hook denial is not a permission rule and never arms that check. The installer-written deny rules are retired in the follow-up commit. Registration: hooks.json (Read|Grep|Bash, timeout 5), build-hooks HOOKS_TO_COPY, managed-hooks-registry, runtime-hooks-surface (blocking guard with BLOCKING_GUARD_TIMEOUT_S; Kimi ReadFile|Grep|Shell), shell-command-projection managed sets, installer-migration-report, OpenCode/Kilo plugin (grep tool mapping, include -> glob, dispatch), docs tables in five locales, ADR-766 always-on list, regen:derived fixtures, and a new table-driven unit suite. * test(#4221): pin the secret-read guard in existing hook gates Register gsd-secret-read-guard.js in every existing hook gate: the hooks-crash-policy table (deny row; 6 -> 7 deny cases), plugin-manifest REQUIRED_HOOKS and its Read|Grep|Bash group, docs-hooks-table-parity EXPECTED_SURFACE_HOOKS, install.test MANAGED_JS_HOOKS, install-minimal- hooks JS_HOOKS/BLOCKING_GUARDS, portable-node-runner GUARD_HOOKS, kilo-upgrades PLUGIN_GUARD_HOOKS, the Kimi normalization-parity and typed-payload floors, the OpenCode adapter (grep mapping, include -> glob, three dispatch tests) and a Kimi TOML matcher assertion. * fix(#4221): retire installer Read() deny rules (legacy filter) Rename GSD_CLAUDE_DENY_PERMISSIONS to GSD_CLAUDE_LEGACY_DENY_PERMISSIONS and stop adding the three Read(.env) / Read(.env.*) / Read(.secrets) strings. mergeClaudePermissions now only filters them out of an existing permissions.deny: an absent deny key stays absent, a malformed one is still repaired to [], and an array emptied by the filter is deleted so no `"deny": []` residue is left. Uninstall filters the same legacy list and, symmetric with the Antigravity branch, drops an emptied allow or deny key and an emptied permissions object. Unlike the #2278 allow-side migration there is no surviving current deny list, so the constant is renamed rather than mirrored. Removal is byte-exact: a hand-written identical rule is indistinguishable from the installer's and is removed too (the manifest never recorded permission strings). USER-GUIDE and CONTEXT.md updated. * test(#4221): flip install-regressions deny-rule assertions to the retired shape The fresh-merge, non-destructive merge, idempotency, end-to-end install, reinstall and uninstall assertions now expect no Read(.env*) deny rules and no permissions.deny key on a fresh install; the deny:null repair case is kept. A new describe block covers the legacy filter: retired strings removed with a user entry kept, partial sets, near-miss strings untouched, idempotency, GSD-only deny array deleted, a pre-existing empty deny preserved, and uninstall symmetry for allow/deny/permissions. * chore(#4221): add changeset fragment for PR #4236 * fix(#4221): case-fold names; scan shell stdin and xargs pipes Review round 1 (trek-e): - Blocker: secret-name matching is now case-insensitive in the Read, Grep (path and glob) and Bash paths, so `.ENV` / `.Secrets` on a case-insensitive filesystem are recognized as the same secret file. - Major: a shell interpreter's script is now scanned wherever it comes from. The tokenizer keeps heredoc bodies as per-segment tokens and records separator operators; pass 2 groups by segment id and resolves bash/sh/zsh/dash/ksh/su invocation mode: `-c` (including combined `-lc`) scans the script operand, a file operand is checked as a file (a `<( )` operand's echo/printf output is reconstructed), otherwise stdin is the script and heredocs, here-strings and a piped echo/printf source are scanned. `eval` joins all its operands; `source`/`.` handle process substitution. Data heredocs (`cat <<EOF`, the commit-message shape) stay unscanned. - Major: `… | xargs <cmd>` checks the upstream segment's operands as file names when the sub-command reads (`echo .env | xargs cat`, `find . -name .env | xargs cat`); `-a`/`--arg-file` suppresses the inference; a shell sub-command's `-c` script is scanned. Header, USER-GUIDE bullet and changeset updated; documented gaps now include piped scripts from non-echo sources and `exec`/`timeout` wrappers. 60 new suite cases pin the block and allow shapes. --------- Co-authored-by: Tom Boucher <trekkie@nomorestars.com>	2026-09-05 04:00:08 -04:00

The security-relevant ⚠ marker and ref.command validation call-out (added per prior reviewer nit) are preserved verbatim per the pinned regression test in capability-registry.test.cjs; only the non-pinned connective prose is trimmed. * fix(#4148): recalibrate execute-phase.md self-imposed margin, restore security marker next grew execute-phase.md by ~230 bytes across two unrelated merges during this fix (#3990's TDD_APPLICABLE conditional, then a further step-extraction commit), consuming this test's own self-imposed 93,400 safety buffer under ADR-857's actual, unmodified 93,600 ceiling (docs/adr/857-capability-system.md:22). The wave-pre step-dispatch sentence cannot shrink further without dropping one of the pinned substrings this same test file asserts on (kind=="step", loop-hook-dispatch, never blocks or redirects executor spawning, Validate `ref.command`). Raises the self-imposed margin to 93,550 (still 50 bytes under the real, untouched ADR ceiling) and restores the ⚠ marker the prior reviewer round required for the ref.command validation call-out, which byte pressure had dropped. * fix(#4148): restore full ref.command validation wording, drop self-imposed margin Adversarial review (agy/gemini-3.8-flash-high) flagged two issues in the prior CI-recovery commit: 1. Trimming "in-context before any shell use" from the step-dispatch warning weakened the inline operational instruction (the reader is told WHAT to validate but not the specific in-context-not-shell mechanism the referenced loop-hook-dispatch.md:45-51 threat model requires). Restored it - the merge with next since the last commit freed enough real margin (77 bytes under the untouched 93,600 ADR-857 ceiling) to afford it without any margin change. 2. The prior commit self-imposed margin bump (93400 to 93550) was, on reflection, the wrong lever: it is a number this PR invented, not an ADR value, and re-bumping it every time next grows execute-phase.md is a losing pattern (already needed twice in one session). Removed the redundant assertion; the same line existing bytes-under-93600 check against the real, frozen ADR-857 ceiling (docs/adr/857-capability-system.md:22) is the actual invariant and is untouched. workflow-size-budget.test.cjs tier hard cap (98304 bytes, extract-not-bump by design) remains the correct backstop for runaway growth. --------- Co-authored-by: CI Rebase Check <ci@gsd-redux> Co-authored-by: Test <test@test.com> Co-authored-by: Tom Boucher <trekkie@nomorestars.com>	2026-09-05 02:56:37 -04:00
JusticeWay	0fca71eaae	enhance(#2529): cover every workflow with response-language directives + CI lint (#2558) ... * enhance(#2529): cover every workflow with response-language directives + CI lint Every workflow now carries response-language coverage in one of three forms, and a CI lint keeps it that way. - 43 workflows load the new shared reference, `gsd-core/references/response-language-directive.md`, by eager `@`-import. - Lazy-loaded modes/steps/templates, which cannot rely on an eager import, carry an exact inline directive; 35 such paths are pinned by exact path. - Fragments dispatched by a covered parent inherit coverage, proven per file rather than granted per directory. The 45 workflows whose directive covered only "questions, prompts, and explanations" now name inter-tool narration, which is the defect #2529 reports: the running commentary between tool calls stayed English while the answers around it were translated. `scripts/lint-response-language-coverage.cjs` enforces it and fails closed on three independent discovery failures (unreadable catalog, empty catalog, unfollowed symlink). It resolves which reference a workflow imports and applies the same four-predicate test to that file, so a weakened shared reference uncovers its importers instead of passing silently, reported once as a systemic failure rather than 43 times. The walk follows symlinked subtrees with a realpath cycle bound. `lint:ci` invokes it by name. REQ-LANG-03 and REQ-LANG-04 state the contract in docs/FEATURES.md; REQ-LANG-04 names the two forms that satisfy it ("narration", "between tool calls") rather than enumerating class members an author cannot use verbatim, and a test pins that text to what the matcher accepts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(#2529): register the coverage test in the docs-guard lane `107eb8c1` (#3787) landed the docs-guard lane on `next` while this PR was open: a test that reads a `docs/` path must be named in `scripts/docs-guard-registry.cjs` or carry a `docs-guard-exempt` marker, so the guards that read a doc run on the PR that changes it. `tests/response-language-coverage.test.cjs` reads `docs/FEATURES.md` -- it extracts every form REQ-LANG-04 offers an author and runs each through the matcher that enforces it. Registration, not exemption, is the correct side of that gate: a reword of the requirement with no code change is precisely the diff this test exists to catch, and it is the diff the lane would otherwise skip. Registered narrowly (`['docs/FEATURES.md']`) rather than with the `'*'` sentinel, so an unrelated docs change does not pull this test into the lane. Verified: lint-docs-guard-registration 0 violations, tests/ci-docs-guard-registry.test.cjs 51/51, lint:ci exit 0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(#2529): consolidate this PR's emitted-growth acks into its own fragment This PR ripples emitted bytes across 85 workflow paths. Until now each ripple was acknowledged by appending to whichever live fragment owned that path, because two ack sources may never name the same path. `a84f7563` (#3078) swept all 45 fully-spent fragments off `next`. Forty-two of the paths this PR grows were owned by swept fragments, so those keys are now unowned and this PR's own fragment declares them directly -- one path, one source, and no dependence on a fragment that no longer exists. Each adopted entry keeps its measurement and records where it came from. Two paths are handled differently, because the sweep did not free them: - `review.md` is now owned by `3034-parallel-reviewer-lanes.json`, which landed on `next` after the sweep. Its entry is live, so the old route still applies: this PR's note is appended to that entry rather than declared a second time. - `plan-review-convergence.md` keeps the arrangement made in round 24. Result: 3 fragments in the directory, 85 keys in this PR's own, 0 cross-source duplicates. `lint-emitted-drift-ack` exit 0, `tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs` green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#2529): move REQ-LANG-03/04 into the feature fragment that now generates them `36375513` (#3845) made docs/FEATURES.md a generated projection of docs/features/*.md, marked "do not edit by hand". This PR wrote REQ-LANG-03 and REQ-LANG-04 straight into the generated file, so the rebase left the requirement present in the projection and absent from its source -- the next regeneration would have deleted both, and `tests/features-index-gate.test.cjs` was already red on the mismatch. Both requirements now live in docs/features/response-language-config.md alongside REQ-LANG-01 and -02. Regenerating produces a docs/FEATURES.md that is byte-identical to the committed one, so the text this PR shipped is unchanged -- only its source of truth moved to where #3840 put it. The docs-guard registration is widened to name the fragment as well as the projection. The requirement's source is the fragment now, and an edit there that skips regeneration would otherwise reach this guard through neither path. Verified: features-index-gate 68/68, lint-docs-guard-registration 0 violations, ci-docs-guard-registry + response-language-coverage 142/142. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(#2529): hand the plan-phase ack back to its new live owner `c933184b` (#3825) landed `3172-stated-failing-direction.json` on `next` after fragment had adopted that path when the sweep left it unowned, so the merged tree named it from two sources -- a hard failure in `scripts/lint-emitted-drift-ack.cjs`. The path has a live owner again, so the append route applies: this PR's note joins that entry, carrying its own measurement, and the key is dropped from this PR's fragment (84 keys left, the others untouched). The provenance sentence written for the swept-fragment case is removed rather than reused -- this path was never orphaned, so that account of it would be false. Same shape as `review.md` and `plan-review-convergence.md`: ownership is a property of the merged tree, and a fragment landing upstream after a push can reclaim a key no local check would have flagged. Verified: lint-emitted-drift-ack exit 0, lint:ci exit 0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#2529): state byte figures that are true against the tree The reference claimed `execute-phase.md` has "2 bytes of headroom under the ceiling named below". That was true when the sentence was written -- the file sat at 93398 against the 93400 comfort assert -- and upstream has since shrunk it to 91493 against a 93600 hard ceiling, so the figure now understates the headroom by three orders of magnitude. The rationale the sentence supports does not depend on the number, so the number is gone rather than refreshed: a restated figure would go stale again on the next upstream edit, and nothing parses it. Audited every other numeric claim this PR ships the same way, mechanically against the merge base: all 82 FILE-delta claims in the ack fragment match the real per-file delta exactly, and the 1,629-byte reference and 63-byte import line check out. One class was imprecise: the 41 notes for workflows whose inline directive was rewritten in place quoted the conversion counterfactual as "+1,692 bytes more loaded context", which is the reference form's whole weight, not the increase over the inline directive those files already carry. Each now names both quantities and the net (+1,605 / +1,609 / +1,584). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#2529): one rule for pinned vs inherited coverage, and the docs to pick it Review measured that 14 of the 35 pinned fragments would pass by inheritance anyway, and that the PR asserted both readings at once: inheritance is real coverage (so those 14 pins are noise) or it is not (so 30 inheriting fragments are green-but-uncovered). Only one can be true. Inheritance is real: the predicate proves it per file -- the parent must dispatch this exact path from a read/execute context AND be covered itself -- so the parent's directive is in the loaded context by the time the fragment is read. The 14 pins are therefore removed along with the directive lines they pinned, and those files inherit like the 30 structurally identical ones. The rule is now stated where the set is declared, and enforced from the other side by a test: no member of the pinned set may be one that would have inherited. That is what decides the form for the next fragment. - pinned set 35 -> 21; 14 workflow files revert to their base content - `findViolations` no longer returns early on a pinned path: a file that becomes eagerly loaded and takes the shared reference is strictly better off, and the gate must not red that. The reference form is admitted because its own wording is validated in turn; an arbitrary reworded inline line still fails. - the reference-directive cache is keyed by size and mtime, not by path alone, so a rewritten reference re-asked in one process no longer returns the stale verdict - `carriesInlineDirective` names its negation blindness: four independent hits read vocabulary, not polarity - the real-tree scan asserts each source produced files instead of `> 152`, a constant that read as the workflow count and would have passed a scan that lost one of its two directories - the pinned-set size assertion goes the same way: the size follows from the rule, so the rule is what the suite asserts Docs, for the gate that now governs every future workflow: - `docs/contributing/response-language-coverage.md` -- why the narration class is the discriminator, the four coverage forms, the decision order that picks one, the pinned line, and what each failure message means - a row in CONTRIBUTING.md's CI checks table, matching the docs-guard row - `docs/CONFIGURATION.md` points at it from the `response_language` entry Also: the changeset said 45 reworded workflows; it is 44 (42 @-reference + 21 pinned + 44 rewritten = 107 touched). That text ships to CHANGELOG.md. `3707-parse-gap-reporting.json` landed on `next` reclaiming `audit-uat.md` and `progress.md`; both handed back by the append route, leaving 82 keys here. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#2529): correct the reference-taker count, 43 -> 42 The ack notes said the import line is byte-identical "in each of the 43 workflows that take the reference" and that the alternative would be "43 inline copies". The shared reference has 42 importers; the 43rd file in review's table is `execute-phase.md`, which imports the OTHER reference. Corrected in all 41 notes that carry the sentence, across this PR's fragment and the two it appends to. Found by re-running the numeric audit from the previous round after the rebase, which also re-verified all 84 FILE-delta claims against the new base -- all exact. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(#2529): migrate the emitted-drift ack from a fragment to commit trailers ADR-3942 (#3954) landed while this PR was open: the acknowledgment is now a commit trailer and tests/emitted-drift-acks/ no longer exists. The fragment is deleted and each key it declared becomes one trailer, reasons unchanged. The four keys this PR had handed to 3034-*, 3172-* and 3707-* under the one-source rule come home here. That rule was the whole reason for the hand-backs, and the trailer model has no shared namespace to collide in -- five of this PR's rounds were spent on exactly those collisions.

It now accepts both spellings and matches the relative one on a path boundary, so `vendor/<path>` cannot vouch for `<path>`. Recognizing that spelling makes one pin redundant: execute-phase.md dispatches executor-isolation-dispatch.md the same way, so the fragment inherits and its own copy of the sentence comes back out. That is the rule round 29 encoded, enforced by the test that measures it rather than by hand. `output` was the one term in USER_OUTPUT_RE without an `s?`, so "translate all outputs, including narration between tool calls" read as uncovered. The new property tests caught it on their first run. Those properties pin the rule the hand-written cases are instances of: four signals on ONE line accept, dropping any one rejects, spreading them across lines rejects. The vocabulary is written out in the test rather than read back from the script's regexes, per CONTRIBUTING.md "Fixture provenance (#2371)" -- a generator seeded from the matcher can only re-derive what the matcher already believes, and that independence is what caught the plural. Both new properties are mutation-verified: dropping the narration predicate reds the necessity property, and collapsing the document to a single line reds the cross-line one. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * enhance(#2529): spell the narration enumeration out in the last two shorthand directives discuss-phase.md and plan-phase.md were the only two of this PR's 44 rewordings that abbreviated the inserted clause to "narration between tool calls included" instead of naming the output classes the way the rest of them do. Both forms satisfy the lint's four predicates, so nothing was broken -- but the point of #2529 is that an author reading one workflow should not have to infer what the neighbouring one means by "included". Both abbreviations were size decisions rather than wording ones, and both reasons have since expired because next shrank the files. discuss-phase.md sat 25 bytes under the 32,000-byte #717 dispatcher budget and now has 1,825; plan-phase.md sat 87 bytes under the 94,519-byte ADR-857 capstone ratchet against a +108 clause and now has 3,180. Neither budget is raised here and no unrelated prose is trimmed; workflow-size-budget and phase6-capstone-conformance both pass. discuss-phase.md started from the identical upstream sentence as verify-work.md and new-milestone.md ("All user-facing questions, prompts, and explanations in this workflow"), and those two received the full enumeration; it now matches them exactly. plan-phase.md keeps its own scope word ("orchestrator output") and its subagent pass-through instruction, both upstream's, and only trades the shorthand for the enumeration. The shorthand now appears nowhere in the catalog. The two remaining variants (plan-review-convergence.md, spec-phase.md) keep upstream's own verb and scope and end on "report prose", which is what those workflows actually emit -- rewriting those would change a directive's strength, not its wording. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#2529): match the workflow extension case-insensitively in coverage discovery `findMarkdownFilesRecursive` filtered on `entry.name.endsWith('.md')`, so `SETTINGS.MD` — the same file to Windows and macOS, a different one to Linux — was skipped on the only platform whose verdict gates the merge. The direction of that failure is the problem: a workflow the walk declines to see is a workflow this lint certifies by omission, which is the same vacuous pass `main()` already refuses when discovery returns nothing at all. The filter is now an allowlist keyed on the lowercased `path.extname`. `.mdx` stays out on purpose: admitting an extension states what a workflow IS, and that claim has a second half — `inheritsParentCoverage` resolves a fragment's parent as `<workflow>.md`. An `.mdx` entry belongs here next to the parent resolution it would have to move with, not ahead of it. Two tests: an uppercase-extension file is discovered AND lands as a violation rather than an exemption, and every admitted extension is spelled so the lowercasing match can reach it (an uppercase or dotless entry would be dead configuration that reads like coverage). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * enhance(#2529): cover the quick-batch workflow that #3676 landed uncovered `next` gained `quick-batch.md` and nine step fragments in 2f64e6230 (#3676, PR #4212) with no response-language directive, so the merge result reds this PR's own lint with 10 violations. The lint is doing exactly what it exists to do; the coverage is what has to move. `quick-batch.md` takes the shared @-reference on line 1, the same as the other 42 top-level workflows, and eight of the nine fragments then inherit through its `read and execute` stubs. The ninth does not: `quick-batch/steps/plan-checker-loop.md` is dispatched by a SIBLING fragment (`planner-wave.md:134`) and named in the parent only inside a parenthetical with no dispatch verb, which is the shape round 29's rule already covers for `execute-phase/steps/regression-gate-run.md` and `plan-phase/steps/prd-express-path.md`. It carries the pinned inline directive and joins `EXACT_INLINE_DIRECTIVE_WORKFLOWS`; the comment above that set now names four such fragments instead of three. Coverage: 163 workflows. `FULL_BUDGET` in tests/skill-frontmatter-contract.test.cjs moves 844 -> 846. The same commit grew `help/modes/full.md` from 834 to 844 lines, landing it exactly on the ceiling with zero slack, and the two lines this PR adds there are its pinned directive and the blank separating it. That is a coverage contract every workflow carries, not the content creep the budget guards. The #597 ratchet rule holds: actualMax 846, slack 0, well inside LARGE_GRACE. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: quick-batch.md — #2529: the workflow arrived on `next` in 2f64e6230 (#3676, PR #4212) with no response-language directive, so this PR's lint reds on the merge result; covering it is the PR's whole contract, not an optional extra. It gains the shared directive as a single eager `@`-reference line, the identical form the other 42 top-level workflows take. FILE delta: +62 bytes, as the gate measures it. LOADED-CONTEXT delta: +1,691 bytes — the import line plus the 1,629 bytes of `gsd-core/references/response-language-directive.md`, because an `@`-import in this repo is EAGER (ADR-1610 Decision point 4; docs/ARCHITECTURE.md: moving prose into a file that is still eagerly `@`-imported "shrinks the measured file without shrinking loaded context"). The repo's size gates read the FILE and not the transitive inline, so they see 62 of those 1,691 bytes; the remaining 1,629 are declared here because no gate reads them. Prose only: no step, gate, tool invocation, or subagent dispatch shape changed. Nine `quick-batch/steps/*` fragments are covered without a byte of their own — eight inherit through the parent's dispatch stubs, and the ninth takes the pinned inline sentence, which the emitted surface does not measure. * fix(#2529): scope row 48 by what a diff says, not by which paths it names `tests/gsd-quick-batch-quick-regression.test.cjs` treats any branch touching a `quick-batch` path as #3676 phase work, then forbids it from editing ordinary `quick.md`. This PR covers EVERY workflow with the shared response-language directive — quick-batch.md and its fragments included — so the scope check turned true, and the row read this PR's one-line directive on `quick.md` as a phase violation. That is the false positive the row's own #3730 note already scoped away from, arriving by the other door: not an unrelated branch that misses the surface, but a catalog-wide sweep that touches all of it. A path now counts as phase work only when its diff says something other than the coverage contract, and the two accepted directive forms are read from `scripts/lint-response-language-coverage.cjs` rather than restated, so a reworded contract cannot leave the carve-out matching prose the lint no longer recognizes. A file the branch ADDED still counts — every line is new, which is what a real #3676-phase branch looks like. The invariant is unweakened in the direction that matters: a phase branch that edits `commands/gsd/quick.md`, `gsd-core/workflows/quick.md` or anything under `quick/steps/` for any reason other than the directive still fails the row.

Qoder is Alibaba's AI coding product family (Qoder CLI and Qoder Desktop). The integration depends on @opengsd/gsd-core, negotiates the ADR-1239 host-integration handshake, and projects GSD's agents, skills, and hook scripts into the Qoder config directory (~/.qoder, or ~/.qoder-cn for the China edition), merging GSD's lifecycle hooks into settings.json. Every axis is sourced from Qoder's own docs per the never-infer rule. `dispatch.isolation` is `none`: Qoder documents `isolation: worktree` as a frontmatter-declared, per-agent-definition property, and GSD's two isolation negotiation models both assume a per-dispatch injection point Qoder does not expose.

Tom Boucher	75ee7b0214	enhance(#4273): add phase.tdd-applicable single-owner predicate (#4277) ... * enhance(#4273): add phase.tdd-applicable single-owner predicate One query verb computes TDD-applicability for a plan (CLI flag, plan type: tdd frontmatter, a task's tdd="true" attribute, or the workflow.tdd_mode config default), mirroring phase.mvp-mode's precedence-cascade shape. Foundation for epic #4272 Phase 2, which wires both dispatch backends to consume it instead of restating the predicate independently. Also fixes workflow.tdd_mode, workflow.research, and workflow.nyquist_validation, which never reached cmdInitExecutePhase/cmdInitPlanPhase/cmdInitDebug/cmdInitNewMilestone because loadConfig() never populates config.workflow — a dead accessor found while wiring this verb's own config read, fixed inline per the no-defer rule rather than left alongside it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#4273): use PHASE_NOT_FOUND reason code, remove try/finally from tests Two orthogonal code reviews flagged a mistyped error reason and a CONTRIBUTING.md-banned try/finally pattern in the phase.tdd-applicable change; both are corrected here. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#4273): stop whitelisting capability-owned config keys centrally workflow.tdd_mode, workflow.research, and workflow.nyquist_validation are each already owned by their own first-party capability's federated config schema (the tdd/research/nyquist capabilities declare them under their own capability.json `config`), resolved via isCapabilityConfigKey. Adding them to gsd-core/bin/shared/config-schema.manifest.json's central validKeys, as the prior commit in this branch did (mirroring workflow.mvp_mode, which genuinely is central-only), declares the same key in two places at once. That collision breaks capability-loader.cts's loadRegistry composition: gsd-test caught this as 84-85 unrelated failures across capability-cli/capability-command-dispatch/capability-lifecycle test files, every one showing "unknown capability: <id>" for a freshly-installed third-party capability that should have resolved fine. Verified directly (not asserted): reverting only this file, keeping the config-loader.cts tdd_mode/research/nyquist_validation flattening and the init.cts call-site fixes from the prior commit, and re-running the exact capability install + capability set repro from tests/capability-cli.test.cjs's "issue-2322" test locally reproduces the failure with the whitelist entries present and clears it without them. loadConfig() still surfaces all three flattened values correctly with no central whitelist entry (confirmed directly against the compiled module) — the whitelist additions were never required for the #4273 fix to work; they were an incorrect over-application of the mvp_mode precedent to keys that aren't central.

Adnan	f4bf449296	fix(#3850): surface gaps_found VERIFICATION files in audit-uat (#3879) ... * fix(#3850): surface gaps_found VERIFICATION files in audit-uat cmdAuditUat admits `human_needed` OR `gaps_found`, but parseVerificationItems had a body only for the first and returned an empty array for the second — standing on a comment deferring to `plan-phase --gaps`, a different command audit-uat never reaches. Since cmdAuditUat pushes a file into `results` only when `items.length > 0`, a `gaps_found` report did not under-report: it vanished, taking its phase's `by_phase` row with it, so a clean-looking total gave the reader no cue anything was skipped. Eligibility now has one owner (the caller) and parseVerificationItems reports what the file says. The closed-entry filter could not be built on extractFrontmatter: its array-item parser keeps only each `- ` entry's FIRST line and has no notion of nested key/value objects, so an entry's `status:`/ `resolution:` siblings never reach its output and a closed entry is indistinguishable from an open one downstream. Rather than grow a competing object-list parser — or change extractFrontmatter, whose blast radius is every frontmatter consumer in the repo — this reads the raw segment BEFORE the flattening, via the existing anchored sliceTopLevelFrontmatterSegments, and hands it to the `## Gaps` machinery that already parses exactly this `- `-opened, indentation- continued shape. The human_needed path is byte-for-byte unchanged: same reader, same display names, same numbering, no resolved-entry filtering — pinned by a test and verified by identical CLI output on base and head. parseGapsItems keeps its narrower `status: resolved` rule so no *-UAT.md behaviour moves. Closes #3850 * chore(#3850): backfill changeset pr number for #3879 * fix(#3850): one parse per entry, one fence parser, one resolved-entry rule Adversarial review on #3879: B1, B2, M3, m5, m8 and n9. B1 — `sliceFrontmatterArrayEntries` hand-rolled a second frontmatter fence regex, which re-asserted the byte-0 rule #2977 removed: a BOM'd file (PowerShell 5.1 `>`/`Out-File` writes one by default) sliced nothing, so a `gaps_found` report vanished from the audit exactly as it did before this fix — this issue's own symptom, on a platform the repo already has a named defect class for. `extractFrontmatter`'s BOM+fence logic is now factored out as `frontmatterRegion` and shared. One fence parser, not two. B2 — the resolved-entry skip paired two DIFFERENT parsers by array index: `parseYamlRegion` is indent-blind, `splitGapsEntries` is indent-anchored. A block sequence written at its key's indent — ordinary, legal YAML — makes them disagree about entry count, and from the first disagreement every index names a different entry, so an OPEN entry inherits a CLOSED one's resolution and is silently dropped. That is the defect this PR exists to fix, reintroduced inside the fix. Display name and sibling fields now come from ONE parse of the raw slice; `frontmatterEntryDisplayName` applies `parseQuotedScalar` exactly as `parseYamlRegion` does, so the string is byte-identical to what `extractFrontmatter` produced. The flattened array remains the #2286 GATE, but is no longer the source of items. `sliceFrontmatterArrayEntries` also takes the LAST duplicate key, matching `parseYamlRegion`'s last-wins assignment. M3 — `frontmatterEntryToUatItem` is the single entry->UatItem mapper both readers use, rather than two copies differing only in `result`. m8 — closed entries are skipped on BOTH statuses. The earlier asymmetry cited an acceptance criterion #3850 does not contain: the issue has no AC section, and its suggested fix (2) states the skip unconditionally, naming a file with 14 of 16 entries resolved. That file is `human_needed`, so the asymmetry left the reporter's own scenario over-reporting by 14. m5 — `sliceTopLevelFrontmatterSegments`' contract doc names both consumers and says the column-0 boundary rule is now a cross-module contract. n9 — the vestigial bare block is gone and its body de-indented. Tests: the B1 BOM case, B2's nested-sequence and bare-bullet repros, a CRLF fixture (M4 — it survived by accident, now pinned) and the unified skip rule. Fail-first verified by running the new tests against the pre-fix build: the BOM, nested-sequence and unified-skip cases are red there. * fix(#3850): read the entries as objects, not as re-parsed display text Rebased onto `next`, which changed the ground this fix stood on. ADR-3473 §8.1 (#3881) replaced the hand-rolled frontmatter scanner with the vendored js-yaml: `parseQuotedScalar` and `parseYamlRegion` no longer exist, and an object entry now flattens to `test: A, resolution: R` rather than to its first line. The original mechanism existed ONLY to work around that lossy first-line flattening — it sliced the raw frontmatter segment and re-parsed each entry by hand so a `resolution:` sibling was visible at all. With a real parser upstream that workaround is obsolete, so it is deleted rather than repaired: `sliceFrontmatterArrayEntries`, `frontmatterEntryDisplayName`, the `splitGapsEntries`/`extractGapEntryFields` reuse and the second fence regex are all gone. `frontmatter.cts` instead exposes `frontmatterObjectListEntries(content, key)` — the same parse `extractFrontmatter` runs (same BOM strip, same byte-0 fence, same anchor/alias and sentinel guards, same ambiguous-colon repair), stopping one step before the display flattening. `flattenObjectListItem` is exposed alongside it so a caller deriving a display name produces the byte-identical string `extractFrontmatter` would have. That collapses the review's blockers into properties of the parse rather than things this fix has to get right: - B1 (BOM) — shares `extractFrontmatter`'s strip; verified through the CLI. - B2 (index pairing) — there is no second reader. Display name and sibling fields come from one object. - M3 (duplicate mapper) — one `frontmatterEntryToUatItem` for both readers. - M4 (CRLF) — js-yaml's, not ours; verified through the CLI. Also confirmed on the rebased base, per review: #3850 still reproduces on `next` after #3707 landed (`total_files: 0`, `total_items: 0` on a `gaps_found` fixture), so this PR is still doing work #3707 did not do. Nothing was dropped as redundant. One behaviour note: `entryField` returns a present value verbatim and treats only whitespace-only as absent. Trimming would rewrite an author's `truth:` on its way to becoming the display name. * fix(#3850): keep every frontmatter list entry at its own row Review round 3's Blocker. `frontmatterObjectListEntries` filtered its result to objects, and filtering COMPACTS: `parseHumanVerificationItems` then numbered the survivors by their position in the compacted array. On a list mixing object and non-object entries the non-object rows disappeared outright and the rest were renumbered — #3850's own vanishing-row defect, reached through entry SHAPE instead of file STATUS. Base never had it: it walked the display array, so every row surfaced at its own position. Renamed to `frontmatterListEntries` and it no longer filters (the name now matches what it returns). Deciding what a non-object entry MEANS is a caller's judgement; dropping it is nobody's. Both readers now walk the DISPLAY array — one element per row, the array #2286 already gates on — and consult the parsed array only for "does this entry carry a closure field?". `parsedEntriesFor` owns that pairing and checks the two lengths agree before trusting an index; all-null is the correct degradation, since over-reporting a closed row is recoverable and closing the wrong one is not. Names stay byte-identical to base for every entry shape, including a nested sequence (`[nested]`, not `["nested"]`). Same class closed in the gaps reader: a non-object `gaps:` entry surfaced nothing at all and now surfaces as `unknown`, which is this module's documented fail-safe direction (`parseGapsItems`) on a false-negative bug. Also restores the shared fence parser round 2 accepted. The ADR-3473 rebase dropped `frontmatterRegion` and left the BOM strip and byte-0 fence rule inlined twice; `extractFrontmatter` now routes through it, so "one fence parser" is enforced rather than asserted in a comment. Minors: `frontmatterEntryToUatItem`'s dead `forcedResult` option deleted and its "shared by both readers" comment corrected — it has one call site, and the two readers differ deliberately, each mirroring its own established sibling (`parseGapsItems` vs #2286). Documented at the divergence. Tests: `B2` asserted a name substring, so it passed while the row was mis-numbered and would have passed through outright loss; it now asserts positions and count. B2b pins the reviewer's 6-entry mixed fixture verbatim, B2c the survivors' file positions across skipped rows, B2d the gaps reader. All four fail-first against the reviewed head; 332/332 green with the fix. * fix(#3850): make status authoritative, and let the two gaps readers agree Round 4 review, all five findings. Major. `isFrontmatterEntryResolved` treated a non-empty `resolution:` as closure regardless of `status:`, so `status: failed` + `resolution: "attempted retry, still failing"` vanished from the report — the silently-vanishing-item defect #3850 exists to close, reached by field combination instead of file status. Closure is now per key, because the two keys have different conventions and one rule cannot serve both: `gaps:` `status: resolved` only, byte-identical to the rule `parseGapsItems` applies to a `## Gaps` markdown section, so one authored entry cannot read closed in one reader and open in the other. `human_verification:` a bare `resolution:` still closes, since that is how verifier-written entries record it — but a readable `status:` that contradicts it wins. A single unified rule was the first draft and is wrong: it closes a frontmatter `gaps:` entry carrying `resolution:` and no `status:`, which `parseGapsItems` surfaces, and `parseVerificationGapsItems`' own docstring claims it mirrors that reader's fail-safe status handling. The contradiction guard is not a judgment call about YAML. It is the rule this codebase already applies to the same field pair: `validateResolution` (probe-core.cts) rejects a populated `resolution:` on a non-resolved status outright — "a populated payload is an authoring mistake ... Reject it so the mistake surfaces." A reporter cannot throw, so it surfaces the item. Minor 1. Direct unit tests for `frontmatterListEntries` and `flattenObjectListItem` in `tests/frontmatter.unit.test.cjs`, the file that historically co-changes with `frontmatter.cts`. They were reachable only through `uat.cts`' readers before. Minor 2. `parsedEntriesFor`'s degrade-to-all-null branch is asserted directly. Verified unreachable through content rather than assumed: both readers enter through `frontmatterRegion`, `extractFrontmatter`'s only extra argument gates a warning, and `normalizeParsedValue`'s `value.map` is 1:1. It is a drift alarm for a future edit to either parser, so the helper is exported for tests rather than left as the one unpinned branch. Minor 3. The vestigial `const skipResolved = true` and its dead conditional are gone. Minor 4. `frontmatterEntryToUatItem` no longer reads `test:`. A `gaps:` entry has no `test:` in its vocabulary — the template's entries carry truth/status/reason/artifacts/missing — so it was speculative support for a field the shape does not have, and it collided with the 1..N row numbers `parseHumanVerificationItems` assigns by array position. Not reading it makes the collision impossible; an offset would have rewritten an authored value, against `entryField`'s verbatim contract. Docs, changeset and the dispatcher docstring all stated the unconditional rule and are corrected — three prior rounds here were comment/code drift. Fail-first proven: restoring the universal rule reddens all three new unit tests and both rewritten properties.

Tom Boucher	1fe85cd43e	chore(#4244): ESLint rules for the #4220 Windows dirname-walk / TMPDIR-triad bug class (#4246) ... * fix(#4244): repoint TEMP/TMP alongside TMPDIR and fix the sweepProtectSet fixed-point walk Repo-wide sweep (ahead of adding lint rules for these exact bug classes) found both incident patterns still live and unfixed on `next`: - scripts/run-tests.cjs's sweepProtectSet walk stopped on `cur !== runTempRoot && cur.length > 1` — a POSIX-only sentinel. win32 dirname('D:\') is a fixed point (length 3, never satisfies `> 1`... wait, it does satisfy length>1), so a selected file living outside runTempRoot (the common case) spins the walk forever on Windows. Extracted a pure, exported computeSweepProtectSet helper that terminates on dirname(cur) === cur instead, with in-process RuleTester-style coverage for both win32 and posix paths. - tests/run-tests-temp-root.test.cjs's own #4020 regression test set only TMPDIR on its runNode(...) child env. Node's os.tmpdir() never reads TMPDIR on Windows (only TEMP, then TMP), so the redirect silently no-oped there — masked because Windows CI died in the dirname-walk hang above before ever reaching this test. - tests/config-schema.property.test.cjs's fallow config-set test had the same TMPDIR-only pattern, direct process.env assignment this time, restored in its own finally block. Origin: #4220 and its shared root cause #4020. * feat(#4244): require-full-tmpdir-triad and no-unbounded-dirname-walk ESLint rules Two custom local ESLint rules catch the #4220 / #4020 Windows CI hang bug class at author time, joining the ADR-1703 DEFECT.WINDOWS-TEST-PORTABILITY catalog. Neither eslint-plugin-unicorn nor eslint-plugin-n has a rule for either shape. - local/require-full-tmpdir-triad: flags a TMPDIR environment override (direct process.env.TMPDIR assignment, or a TMPDIR property in a spawn-like call's env: object literal) not accompanied by TEMP and TMP in the same scope. Node's os.tmpdir() never reads TMPDIR on Windows. Registered on tests/**/*.cjs, matching the require-userprofile-with-home precedent. - local/no-unbounded-dirname-walk: flags a while/do-while loop reassigning from dirname() with no fixed-point termination guard (dirname(cur) !== cur, or path.parse(cur).root). path.dirname() is a no-op at the platform root, but the value differs by platform (win32 'D:\' is length 3, posix '/' is length 1), so a POSIX-shaped length/equality bound never fires on Windows. Registered on BOTH tests/**/*.cjs and scripts/**/*.cjs — the real #4020 bug lived in scripts/run-tests.cjs, not tests/. Both rules join the zero-escape-hatch discipline already established for this catalog (no bespoke comment marker; PROTECTED_RULES in tests/portability-rule-disable-ban.test.cjs independently bans eslint-disable of either). ADR-1703 and its two companion contributing docs get an amendment documenting the mechanism, code examples, and the repo-wide sweep (three live instances found and fixed in the prior commit; no others found). CI test-scope selection updated so an edit to either rule or to scripts/run-tests.cjs re-runs the right suites. * fix(#4244): no-unbounded-dirname-walk must analyze a single-condition loop test too checkWhile bailed out early unless node.test was a LogicalExpression, so a single-condition loop -- while (cur !== root) { cur = dirname(cur); } -- was silently skipped and never reported. That is the EXACT minimal shape of the original #4020/#4220 bug, and it is literally the shape used by this rule's own shipped RuleTester fixtures (the "equality-only bound" invalid cases), which were failing (0 errors reported, 1 expected) until this fix -- confirmed by running RuleTester directly against both fixtures, not just via a passing test-runner exit code. The conjunct-collection helper already handled a non-LogicalExpression test correctly (it pushes a single node as the sole conjunct); only the early-return gate needed to stop requiring a compound && / || test. Verified: RuleTester run directly against both previously-broken fixtures plus two new sanity cases (a guarded single-condition loop stays valid; an unrelated single-condition loop stays silent), and a fresh `npx eslint .` across the whole repo remains clean (no other single-condition dirname-walk shape exists in the tree). * fix(#4244): require-full-tmpdir-triad must recognize a destructured child_process call isSpawnLikeCallee only recognized a MemberExpression callee (child_process.spawnSync(...)) or a bare identifier in ENV_LOCAL_HELPER_NAMES (runNode). A destructured import called bare -- const { spawnSync } = require('child_process'); spawnSync(...) -- has an Identifier callee named "spawnSync", which matched neither branch, so the whole env-literal check was skipped. gsd-test caught this: both "invalid: child_process.spawnSync with TMPDIR-only env" cases in tests/require-full-tmpdir-triad.rule.test.cjs were failing (0 errors reported, 1 expected). Widened the bare-identifier branch to also match any of the known ENV_CHILD_PROCESS_METHODS names, matched by name only -- the same lightweight convention this repo's other eslint-rules/*.cjs use (e.g. no-hardcoded-tmp.cjs's isFsMethodCall), not full import data-flow tracing. Verified: RuleTester run directly against all 11 cases in tests/require-full-tmpdir-triad.rule.test.cjs (not just the two that were failing), all pass; a fresh npx eslint . and npm run lint:ci across the whole repo remain clean. * fix(#4244): correct a stale escape-hatch reference in a test comment The comment on the "length comparison against another expression's length" case referenced a "// allow-dirname-walk marker" that doesn't exist -- the rule has zero comment-based escape hatches by design (ADR-1703), and an earlier draft's marker mechanism was removed before this branch's first commit.

This test asserts worktree-dispatch.md's Step 6 excludes an item whose SUMMARY.md already exists from the spawn set, mirroring planner-wave.md's existing PLAN.md-existence check one layer earlier. Fails against the current worktree-dispatch.md, which has no such guard.

A coordinator crash between Step 6 (executor commits, SUMMARY.md written) and Step 7 (merge) left the item eligible for a second dispatch on --resume, orphaning the first worktree's real, already- committed work and silently losing it once the second executor's SUMMARY.md write clobbered the first at the same item_dir path. Adds a SUMMARY.md-existence exclusion before spawn-plan is computed, symmetric to planner-wave.md's PLAN.md check. The excluded item is not lost: merge-wave.md's own mergeable-wave criterion (status=pending, SUMMARY.md on disk, not yet merged) already picks it up independently of this eligible/spawn list. Workflow-prose-only fix — touches no already-merged/reviewed .cts module.

Both leave the foreign location and repoRoot's HEAD provably untouched. - Advisory scope drift: a committed path outside declared files_modified still merges successfully (advisory, never blocking) while surfacing a scope_out_of_declared warning naming the drifted path; an exact declared-scope match produces zero warnings (boundary case). - Real .gitmodules submodule integration: a repo containing a real local git submodule merges cleanly through executeWorktreeWaveCleanupPlan for an unrelated plan; a real gitlink pointer bump (declared) merges cleanly with the superproject tree reflecting the new pinned commit; an undeclared bump is advisory-only and surfaces a scope warning naming vendor/sub, same as any other undeclared modification. No src/*.cts changes — all three gaps were coverage-only; the underlying primitives already behaved correctly (independently verified against real git subprocess output before writing each assertion). * docs(#3677): document how to diagnose a preserved quick-batch worktree Extends the one-sentence "worktree is preserved (never deleted)" mention into a concrete diagnosis procedure: where the preserved directory is, how to read the executor's real commits/diff against the plan's declared files_modified, how to read the item's own SUMMARY.md independent of merge outcome, how to manually merge-and-clean-up or discard, and how to re-run --resume afterward. Also documents that a SUMMARY.md-written-but-still- pending item (the crash-window case fixed in this same PR) needs no manual intervention — --resume routes it straight to the merge step. * chore(#3677): checkpoint final acceptance-evidence mapping (gitignored, dev-only) * fix(#3677): make crash-window duplicate-dispatch guard behaviorally provable and durably recoverable Orthogonal review (Spec finding): the crash-window regression test added earlier this phase only asserted readStep('worktree-dispatch.md') + regex matches against the markdown prose — proving the DOCUMENTATION says the right thing, never that the runtime condition (pending status + on-disk SUMMARY.md + absent STATE row) is actually handled correctly. #3677's own "Alternatives considered" explicitly rejects "document recovery without fault injection" for exactly this reason. Extracts the filtering decision into a pure, independently testable function, filterAlreadyExecuted(eligibleIds, executedIds) in src/quick-batch-dispatch.cts, wired to a new `quick-batch filter-executed` CLI verb (src/quick-batch-command-router.cts) — the same pure-decision- then-CLI-wired pattern computeSpawnPlan/computeMergeOrder already establish. worktree-dispatch.md now calls this verb explicitly instead of only describing the decision in prose. A genuine fixture-based test in tests/quick-batch.test.cjs constructs a REAL BATCH.json (createBatch), writes a REAL SUMMARY.md on disk at the item's real item_dir, calls the REAL resumeBatch, and proves both that resumeBatch alone still reports the item eligible AND that filterAlreadyExecuted (fed a real filesystem check) correctly excludes it. The prior prose-assertion tests are kept — they now prove the workflow markdown is correctly WIRED to the verb — but are no longer the only proof. Self-discovered defect while building that fixture (fixed inline, not deferred): tracing merge-wave.md against /gsd:quick's own prior art (QUICK_WORKTREE_MANIFEST=$(mktemp ...), quick.md:415) showed $QUICK_BATCH_WORKTREE_MANIFEST is a fresh PER-PROCESS temp file. A resumed coordinator correctly does not re-dispatch an already-executed item (this fix), but nothing durably recorded that item's worktree_path/branch/base either — Step 7 in the resumed process would have had no data to build its cleanup-wave entry from. Adds dispatched_worktree/dispatched_branch/ dispatched_base to QuickBatchItem (src/quick-batch.cts) — deliberately NOT a reuse of the pre-existing `worktree` field, whose loadBatch validation requires the path to exist on disk (verified empirically: reusing it made the batch permanently unloadable the moment a legitimately-merged worktree was removed). worktree-dispatch.md persists the triple once a worktree is created; merge-wave.md falls back to it when the ephemeral manifest lacks an entry, clears it after a successful merge, and fails closed rather than guessing if no record exists anywhere. See .gsd/phase/feat-3677-quick-batch-hardening-acceptance/40-design.md §9.1 and §9.3 for the full trace, empirical verification notes, and rejected alternatives (reusing `worktree` directly). * test(#3677): prove the arbitrary-worktree-ownership boundary against two real sibling worktrees Orthogonal review (Security finding): the two existing ownership-tampering tests didn't test ownership — one was trivially rejected by WORKTREE_AGENT_BRANCH_RE's shape check before any git call (proves branch- NAME filtering, not ownership), the other pointed at a wholly separate, never-linked foreign repo, so merge-base failed immediately because the branch didn't exist as a ref at all. Neither exercised the real scenario: a manifest entry whose worktree_path/branch are swapped to point at a DIFFERENT, GENUINELY-REGISTERED sibling worktree of the SAME repoRoot, with a branch name passing the shape check and a base in allowed_bases. Investigated executeWorktreeWaveCleanupPlan (src/worktree-safety.cts) directly: this is NOT a reachable gap. Git enforces branch-per-worktree uniqueness, so a swapped-in entry.branch can only match worktree_path's ACTUAL checked-out branch if it names that sibling's own real, uniquely- generated branch name — which manifest tampering confined to one batch's own record has no way to know (branch names are agent-<quick_id>[-<timestamp>]-shaped, and quick_id allocation is collision-checked GLOBALLY across every existing quick task and batch, not merely within one batch). Adds a stronger test that empirically proves this: two REAL, concurrently- alive sibling worktrees of the same repo (both via real `git worktree add`, both WORKTREE_AGENT_BRANCH_RE-passing, both sharing one merge-base), with worktree_path/branch swapped between them in both directions. Both attempts are blocked via branch_mismatch; both real worktrees, their branches, and one sibling's real uncommitted-to-main commit survive completely untouched. Supplements (does not replace) the original two tests, which still prove distinct, real boundaries. See .gsd/phase/feat-3677-quick-batch-hardening-acceptance/40-design.md §9.2 for the full trace, including the one explicitly-documented (not fixed) trust boundary this investigation surfaced: the primitive defends against fabricated data, not a caller bug that misattributes a real-but-wrong item's own triple to a different item. * chore(#3677): checkpoint design-doc addendum for review pass 2 findings (gitignored, dev-only) * docs(#3677): add changeset for PR 4240 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local> Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-09-03 09:47:22 -04:00
Tom Boucher	2f64e6230a	feat(#3676): quick-batch command, workflow, and isolation integration (#4212) ... * test(#3676): add failing tests for quick-batch dispatch core Failing-first tests for Phase 4 of epic #3344 (ADR-1239 "Quick-batch binding"): quick-batch-dispatch.test.cjs / .property.test.cjs cover the new pure decision-logic module (arg validation, effective concurrency, deterministic merge order, spawn backpressure, verification/merge routing, cleanup-entry construction — design doc rows 3-15,24,26-28, 30-36,39; property rows 51-53). quick-batch-update-items.test.cjs covers the new updateBatchItems export on src/quick-batch.cts (rows 15,22-23, including the negative cycle-rejection case). quick-batch-command-router.test.cjs covers the new gsd-tools quick-batch CLI family (rows 46-47). These reference modules/ exports that do not exist yet. * feat(#3676): implement quick-batch dispatch core, updateBatchItems, and command router Phase 4 of epic #3344 (ADR-1239 "Quick-batch binding") CORE decision layer — CLI verbs and pure orchestration logic only; no workflow markdown, no Agent()/git-worktree I/O. - src/quick-batch-dispatch.cts (new): pure decision functions consumed by the (separate, follow-up) /gsd:quick-batch workflow markdown — parseQuickBatchArgs, computeEffectiveConcurrency, computeMergeOrder, computeSpawnPlan, routeVerificationOutcome, routeMergeOutcome, buildCleanupManifestEntry (the last parses caller-supplied plan text via the existing parsePlanDocument; no filesystem access). - src/quick-batch.cts: adds updateBatchItems, resolving the design doc's Open Question 1 as ONE additive export on this module instead of the second, independent BATCH.json writer the design doc originally proposed. Reuses the same withPlanningLock transaction shape, computeWaves, and platformWriteSync call resumeBatch/ completeQuickItem already use; fails closed without persisting on an unknown item, an unknown/self dependency, or an introduced cycle. - src/quick-batch-command-router.cts (new): gsd-tools quick-batch CLI family, wired into HOST_COMMAND_ROUTERS (gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs) as a first-party always-on command (like /gsd:quick), not the opt-in capability-registry path graphify uses. Verbs: create/update/resume/ complete (wrap quick-batch.cts) and effective-concurrency/ merge-eligible/spawn-plan/verification-routing/merge-routing/ cleanup-entry/parse-args (wrap quick-batch-dispatch.cts). Design doc rows covered: 3-15, 22-24, 26-28, 30-39, 46-47. Property rows 51-53. Rows covering workflow markdown / Agent() dispatch / `git worktree` behavior (16-21, 25, 29, 40-45, 48-50) remain for the follow-up markdown-authoring pass, per the phase brief's explicit scope boundary. * docs(#3676): register quick-batch-dispatch/command-router modules in bookkeeping surfaces New-.cts-module ripple for the two Phase 4 modules (epic #3344, ADR-1239 "Quick-batch binding"): .gitignore (compiled .cjs artifacts, ADR-457 build-at-publish), eslint.config.mjs (lint the .cts source, not the emitted .cjs), docs/INVENTORY.md + docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json (via `node scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write`, after `npm run build:lib`), and CONTEXT.md glossary entries for "Quick-Batch Dispatch Core Module" and "Quick-Batch Command Router Module", plus an update to the existing "Quick-Batch Core Primitives Module" entry documenting the new updateBatchItems export. * test(#3676): fold updateBatchItems tests into quick-batch.test.cjs (fix lint-test-file-count) scripts/lint-test-file-count.cjs buckets any quick-batch-*.test.cjs file under the quick-batch production module by longest-prefix match, and that module is already at its 2-file cap (quick-batch.test.cjs + quick-batch.property.test.cjs). The standalone tests/quick-batch-update-items.test.cjs added in the prior commit pushed it to 3 and failed `npm run lint:ci`. Fold its content into quick-batch.test.cjs (append-only — no existing test in that file is modified) and update the CONTEXT.md glossary reference to match. Surfaced while re-running `GITHUB_BASE_REF=next npm run lint:ci` after `npm ci` (this worktree previously had no local node_modules, which also made gen-scripts-cli-exit/gen-hooks-cli-exit/gen-exit-code-* unable to resolve typescript — resolved by npm ci, no code change needed there). `npm run lint:ci` and `npx tsc -p tsconfig.build.json --noEmit` are both green after this fix. * test(#3676): add failing tests for the quick-batch command/workflow markdown Failing-first tests for Phase 4's markdown-authoring pass (epic #3344, ADR-1239 "Quick-batch binding"): gsd-quick-batch-workflow.test.cjs covers commands/gsd/quick-batch.md's frontmatter/objective/process, gsd-core/workflows/quick-batch.md's byte-size boundary (row 49, ADR 1610 NEW_FILE_CAP) and step-fragment count, the isolation model (rows 20-22), the executor single-writer invariant (row 18), merge validation reusing the existing bounded primitive (row 25), the optional research/plan-checker/verification leaves (rows 16,17,19, 30,31), planning-failure blocking execution (row 29), the submodule guard (rows 36,44), and the new agents/gsd-planner.md quick-batch mode (rows 13-15). gsd-quick-batch-quick-regression.test.cjs covers row 48 (ordinary /gsd:quick stays byte-identical). Named `gsd-quick-batch-*` (not `quick-batch-*`) so lint-test-file-count's longest-prefix bucketing doesn't fold these markdown-only tests into the already-capped quick-batch/quick-batch-dispatch/ quick-batch-command-router production-module buckets from the CORE pass. These reference files that do not exist yet. * feat(#3676): author the quick-batch command, workflow, and planner mode Phase 4 markdown-authoring pass (epic #3344, ADR-1239 "Quick-batch binding") — the orchestration layer that calls into Pass 1's CLI verbs (src/quick-batch-command-router.cts). - commands/gsd/quick-batch.md (new): frontmatter/objective/process, delegates argument validation to `quick-batch parse-args` (parseQuickBatchArgs) rather than re-deriving the grammar. - gsd-core/workflows/quick-batch.md (new, 11843 bytes — under ADR 1610's 32768-byte NEW_FILE_CAP for a brand-new file) + 9 lazy-loaded step fragments under gsd-core/workflows/quick-batch/steps/: resume-mode, batch-init, research-phase (flag:--research), planner-wave (+ nested plan-checker-loop when --validate), worktree-dispatch, merge-wave, verification-wave (flag:--validate), completion. Covers design doc rows 3-45: capacity/isolation resolution (reusing dispatch-isolation-gate.md verbatim), per-DAG- layer planning with full-task-catalog prompts and always-required depends_on/files_modified frontmatter, serialized worktree create/ merge/cleanup via the existing worktree.cleanup-wave primitive, deterministic wave-order merging, verification routing (human_needed/gaps_found), the executor single-writer invariant, submodule fail-loud guard, and #1941 fork-base auto-degrade. - agents/gsd-planner.md: additive new `load_mode_context` bullet for `**Mode:** quick-batch`, pointing at the new gsd-core/references/planner-quick-batch.md reference (documents the always-required depends_on/files_modified contract, reusing the existing frontmatter grammar — no new keys). Existing modes byte-identical, only a new bullet added. - src/init.cts (+init-command-router.cts, +command-aliases.cts): cmdInitQuickBatch / `init.quick-batch` — model profiles, commit_docs, roadmap/planning existence checks, and the section_manifest field gating research-phase/verification-wave (reuses the existing flag:--research/flag:--validate WHEN_VOCABULARY atoms — no new atom needed). Rows 16-21, 25, 29, 36, 38, 39, 44, 46-50 covered structurally by the prior test(#3676) commit; rows 3-15, 22-24, 26-28, 30-35, 37, 40-43, 45 covered by construction (verb wiring, single-writer prompt constraints, crash-window resume via unmodified Phase 3 primitives). * docs(#3676): regenerate skills/inventory/section-manifest/install-tree; baseline the intentional word-splitting pattern npm run regen:derived output for the new command/workflow/reference (epic #3344, ADR-1239 "Quick-batch binding"): - skills/gsd-quick-batch/SKILL.md (generated from commands/gsd/quick-batch.md) - docs/INVENTORY.md rows for /gsd-quick-batch, quick-batch.md, planner-quick-batch.md, and the quick-batch-dispatch.cjs/ quick-batch-command-router.cjs CLI-module rows' now-live `/gsd-quick-batch` cross-reference (was "(separate, follow-up)") + docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json (`node scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write`) - gsd-core/workflows/section-manifest.json (`npm run gen:section-manifest`) — research-phase/verification-wave gsd:section entries for the new quick-batch workflow - tests/fixtures/install-tree/*.json (`npm run gen:install-tree`) — the new command/workflow/skill/reference files now ship to every runtime scripts/lint-workflow-shellcheck-baseline.json: 3 new entries for gsd-core/workflows/quick-batch.md's intentional flag-token/$ARGUMENTS word-splitting (SC2046/SC2086) — the same deliberate unquoted-optional- flag pattern gsd-core/workflows/quick.md already carries baselined (e.g. `$DISCUSS_PARAM $RESEARCH_PARAM` in quick.md's own Step 2); quoting would break the intended "omit this arg when the flag is false" splitting. * fix(#3676): close prompt-injection and argv/glob-injection gaps in quick-batch leaf dispatch Security review pass findings, both confirmed real: 1. HIGH — prompt injection, no boundaries. Every leaf-dispatch fragment interpolated the raw, attacker-influenced task ${description} (and the shared ${TASK_CATALOG_TABLE}, broadcasting every item's raw description into every planner's prompt in the layer) straight into Agent() prompt bodies with no boundary. Fixed by wrapping every such interpolation in a <security_context> + DATA_START/DATA_END boundary, matching the CONCRETE convention already implemented in this repo (agents/gsd-debug-session-manager.md, agents/gsd-debugger.md, gsd-core/workflows/debug.md) — commands/gsd/quick.md's own <security_notes> only asserts this convention in prose, so the debug-agent files are the real precedent followed here. Added a new <security_notes> block to commands/gsd/quick-batch.md (it had none) documenting both this fix and the one below. 2. MEDIUM — unquoted $ARGUMENTS -> argv/glob injection. gsd-core/workflows/quick-batch.md and commands/gsd/quick-batch.md both ran `gsd_run quick-batch parse-args --raw -- $ARGUMENTS` UNQUOTED, causing shell word-splitting and pathname expansion on raw task-list text before the parser ever saw it. Fixed at the source: added a `--text <string>` form to the `parse-args` verb (src/quick-batch-command-router.cts) that accepts the ENTIRE $ARGUMENTS as ONE quoted argv element and does the whitespace split itself, in Node — which is never glob-aware, unlike the shell. Both call sites now use `--text "$ARGUMENTS"`. The `-- <tokens>` form is kept for direct/test callers that already have a real argv array. The SC2086 baseline entry added for the original unquoted line is now stale (`node scripts/lint-workflow-shellcheck.cjs` no longer reports it) and has been removed; the two SC2046 entries for the UNRELATED, still-unquoted `$([ "$VALIDATE_MODE" = true ] && echo --validate)`-style conditional-flag splitting remain — that line only ever expands to one of a few known-safe literal strings (never raw user text), matching quick.md's own already-baselined convention exactly. Tests: quick-batch-command-router.test.cjs covers the new --text form (token splitting, glob-shaped text passing through literally unexpanded, whitespace-only input). gsd-quick-batch-workflow.test.cjs asserts the DATA_START/DATA_END boundary on every leaf prompt (research-phase/planner-wave/plan-checker-loop/verification-wave, including the shared task catalog) and the quoted --text call sites. * fix(#3676): strengthen test-depth gaps in rows 9, 18, 24, 34, 35 Spec review pass findings — the test matrix claimed "yes" coverage these assertions did not actually support: - Row 9 (--jobs 0/-1/abc hostile case): previously asserted rejection only. Added an end-to-end assertion (tests/quick-batch-command-router.test.cjs, committed alongside the security fix that touches the same file) that .planning/quick-batches/ is never created for any rejected value — createBatch is genuinely never reached. - Row 18 (--resume <unknown-batch-id>): previously only exercised a hand-corrupted BATCH.json, never a genuinely nonexistent batch directory. Added the real nonexistent-id case (also in quick-batch-command-router.test.cjs). - Row 24 (post-planning updateBatchItems racing a concurrent completeQuickItem for a different item, both through withPlanningLock): zero test existed. Added a property test (tests/quick-batch.property.test.cjs, appended — Phase 3's own file, no existing test touched) exercising both call orders and asserting no lost update in the final on-disk manifest — the same technique Phase 3's own row-15 lock-contention property test uses (sequential calls through the real lock; a working mutex makes any interleaving equivalent to some serial order, so this is the same claim a literal concurrent-thread test would make without OS-level threading). - Row 34 (worktree preserved on merge_failed) and row 35 (undeclared- deletion detection): both were previously asserted only at the pure routeMergeOutcome level. Added tests/gsd-quick-batch-merge-integration.test.cjs using the SAME real-git-fixture pattern tests/worktree-safety.test.cjs already establishes for executeWorktreeWaveCleanupPlan (real repo, real worktree, a REAL merge conflict / a REAL file deletion diffed against declared_deletions) — asserting the actual worktree directory survives on disk, not just that a pure function returns a preserveWorktree:true field. Named gsd-quick-batch-* so lint-test- file-count's bucketing doesn't fold it into any capped module bucket. Row 48 (/gsd:quick regression) intentionally left as-is per the reviewer's own framing: the byte-identity claim is already mechanically proven by the changed-path diff (git diff --name-only empty on those two paths IS byte-identity), and a genuine execution- level regression test would require actually running the workflow — out of scope for this repo's unit-test model (no other quick.md regression test in this repo does that either). * docs(#3676): add the changeset and user-facing docs the command needed Standards review pass findings — both HARD: - Missing changeset. None of the 6 prior #3676 commits touched .changeset/*. /gsd-quick-batch is a new user-facing command; CLAUDE.md/CONTRIBUTING.md require one. Added .changeset/silly-rams-caper.md (type: Added, pr: 0 placeholder — backfilled after the PR opens, matching CLAUDE.md's own documented convention and Phase 3's own precedent, #4190's .changeset/mellow-yaks-squeak.md). Uses the docs-convention hyphen form `/gsd-quick-batch` throughout, never the source-artifact colon form (`scripts/lint-docs-command-form.cjs` confirms 0 violations; that check scans docs/**, not .changeset/, so it was never actually in scope for the fragment itself, but the wording still follows the doc convention for consistency, matching how Phase 3's own fragment named the not-yet-shipped command). - Missing docs. Added docs/how-to/batch-quick-tasks.md (Diátaxis how-to, matching docs/how-to/handle-quick-and-fast-tasks.md's existing convention for /gsd-quick /gsd-fast) covering --jobs, --validate, --research, --resume, --file, the capacity/isolation interaction, and resume/failure recovery. Cross-linked from docs/README.md's how-to index and from handle-quick-and-fast-tasks.md's own "Related" section. Added a /gsd-quick-batch section to docs/COMMANDS.md (same table format as the existing /gsd-quick entry) and docs/features/quick-batch.md (REQ-QB-01..12, same frontmatter shape as docs/features/quick-mode.md) — regenerated docs/FEATURES.md (179 features) and skills/gsd-quick-batch/SKILL.md via the standard generators. * fix(#3676): close docs-parity, attribution, and generated-registry gaps gsd-test caught gsd-test's real run against 155e8975b3 found 43 failures, all rooted in this phase's own new command/workflow never being registered across ~10 independent generated/hand-maintained registries this repo keeps in parity by convention. Root-caused each, no test weakened or special-cased. - help.md ↔ commands/gsd/ bidirectional parity (docs-parity-live- registry.test.cjs): added a /gsd:quick-batch entry to gsd-core/workflows/help/modes/full.md (the real help.md content; gsd-core/workflows/help.md is a thin dispatcher) documenting every flag (--file/--jobs/--validate/--research/--resume), matching the existing /gsd:quick entry's format. - gen-section-manifest.test.cjs: quick-batch.md's `gsd_run query init.quick-batch` invocation used inline `$([ ... ] && echo --flag)` substitutions, which never satisfy the test's exact-whitespace-token / assigned-variable detection (the trailing `))` glued onto `--research` in the compound substitution broke the "exact token" match). Rewrote to the same VALIDATE_PARAM/RESEARCH_PARAM two-line pattern gsd-core/workflows/quick.md's own Step 2 already uses. - runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs: the 8 quick-batch/steps/*.md fragments that call gsd_run each needed their OWN embedded copy of the canonical shim preamble (every workflow .md that calls gsd_run carries its own copy — reading one file does not persist shell state into another). Ran `node scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs`, which inserted it before each file's first gsd_run call. plan-checker-loop.md correctly has none — it never calls gsd_run directly. - Namespace routing (skill-manifest.test.cjs, install-nested- layout.test.cjs, runtime-artifact-layout-surface.test.cjs): added `quick-batch` to commands/gsd/ns-workflow.md's `requires:` array and routing table (same namespace `quick` already routes through), and to src/clusters.cts's `utility` cluster (same cluster `quick` already belongs to). Verified by hand-running installRuntimeArtifacts + applySurface for augment/cline against a real temp install: exactly 6 top-level gsd-ns-* router dirs, gsd-quick-batch correctly nested under gsd-ns-workflow/skills/, never re-flattened. - mcp-server-catalog.test.cjs: hardcoded command count 71 -> 72 (a brand-new command is a real count change, not a bug this test should hide). - model-omit-when-inherit-guard.test.cjs: added the canonical `<!-- #2517 model-omit-on-inherit -->` marker block to gsd-core/workflows/quick-batch.md (every leaf dispatch — planner/ researcher/checker/executor/verifier — lives in a steps/ fragment, read combined with the host by this test's own readWorkflowCombined, same as quick.md's own research-phase.md carries it for its gated section). Also fixed a genuine pre-existing inconsistency in the test's own "#2711: the guarded set is derived from dispatch sites" check: its `nonDispatching` computation read the BARE host file while `derived` (the set it's checked against) reads the combined host+steps content — inconsistent with that same test file's own #2994 doc comment explaining why the combined read is necessary. quick-batch.md is the first workflow whose EVERY model="{...}" dispatch site lives in a mandatory (never gated) steps/ fragment — extracted to stay under ADR-1610's tighter NEW_FILE_CAP for a brand-new file — which is what exposed the mismatch. Fixed by using the same readWorkflowCombined read in both places. - skill-frontmatter-contract.test.cjs: shortened commands/gsd/quick-batch.md's frontmatter `description` from 107 to 91 chars (<=100 budget), and added `quick-batch.md` to the hand- maintained KNOWN_SKILLS consolidation allowlist with a #3676 justification comment (a genuinely new first-party command, not a consolidation of an existing skill). - workflow-fragments-emission.install.test.cjs: added `quick-batch.md` to the hand-maintained MARKED_WORKFLOWS set (composeWorkflow is deliberately NOT a no-op for it — its research-phase/verification- wave sections are gated). - Regenerated all downstream artifacts (npm run build:lib && npm run regen:derived && npm run gen:plugin-skills -- --write && npm run gen:features -- --write): skills/gsd-quick-batch/SKILL.md, skills/gsd-ns-workflow/SKILL.md, install-tree fixtures for augment/cline/hermes/qwen/trae/zcode. - emitted-attribution.test.cjs: agents/gsd-planner.md's #3676 addition (one new `load_mode_context` bullet pointing at the new gsd-core/references/planner-quick-batch.md reference) grew the file 124 bytes without an acknowledgment trailer. Acknowledged below — the growth is the deliberate, additive, single-bullet change from the earlier feat(#3676) commit, not drift. Verified: npm run build:lib clean, npx tsc -p tsconfig.build.json --noEmit clean, GITHUB_BASE_REF=next npm run lint:ci fully green (includes lint-workflow-shellcheck, lint-test-file-count, lint-docs-command-form). The deep install/spawn/registry tests gsd-test actually runs (docs-parity-live-registry, gen-section-manifest, runtime-launcher-parity, install-nested-layout, runtime-artifact-layout-surface, skill-manifest, skill-frontmatter- contract, mcp-server-catalog, model-omit-when-inherit-guard, workflow-fragments-emission) are not part of lint:ci — each fix above was independently verified by hand-invoking the exact production function the failing test calls (installRuntimeArtifacts, applySurface, composeWorkflow, the CLUSTERS union, the section-manifest forwarding regex) against the real repo tree and confirming the expected shape. Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-planner.md — additive #3676 quick-batch mode bullet in load_mode_context (one new line pointing at gsd-core/references/planner-quick-batch.md); not drift. * fix(#3676): trim the /gsd:quick-batch help.md entry to fit the LARGE tier line budget skill-frontmatter-contract.test.cjs's "feature #3039: tiered help — size budgets" enforces a SEPARATE line-count ceiling for gsd-core/workflows/help/modes/full.md (FULL_BUDGET = 844 lines, tighten-only ratchet, scripts/lib/allowlist-ratchet.cjs's assertTightCeiling) — independent of the skill-frontmatter description- length budget and consolidation allowlist I touched in the prior round; those are unrelated checks in the same test FILE, not the same check. Root cause: the /gsd:quick-batch entry I added to full.md in the docs-parity fix round was 17 lines, pushing the file from 834 to 851 lines — 7 over the 844 ceiling. Condensed the entry (merged the per-flag bullet list into one dense "Flags:" line, dropped from 3 Usage examples to 1) to 844 lines exactly — at the ceiling with zero slack, which assertTightCeiling accepts (it only fails on actualMax > ceiling, or on slack > grace when the ceiling is too LOOSE — zero slack triggers neither). Verified after trimming: full.md still contains a live /gsd:quick-batch reference (bidirectional parity) and all 5 argument-hint flags (--jobs/--validate/--research/--resume/--file) still appear as literal tokens (docs-parity-live-registry.test.cjs's own flag-coverage check, re-run by hand against the trimmed content). Verified: npm run build:lib clean, npx tsc -p tsconfig.build.json --noEmit clean, GITHUB_BASE_REF=next npm run lint:ci fully green. * docs(#3676): backfill changeset pr number to 4212 Follow-up to fix(#3676) commits — .changeset/silly-rams-caper.md's pr:0 placeholder backfilled with the real PR number now that gh api POST /pulls has returned it (#4212). Matches CLAUDE.md's PR Number Handling convention and Phase 3's own #4190 precedent (708c5a3f8c). Doc-only (root-level .changeset/*.md fragment), exempt from a fresh gsd-test run per pre-pr-gate.sh's DOC_ONLY_RE. * fix(#3676): resolve prompt-injection-scan false positive on test fixture tests/quick-batch.test.cjs:232's row 11b regression proves the task-list parser carries a prompt-injection-shaped task description through createBatch as inert data, never interpreted. The fixture has to be a real "ignore all previous instructions..." phrase or the test asserts nothing, but the full-file --diff scan flagged it once unrelated edits in the same file pulled it into the changed-file set. Add the file to prompt-injection-scan.sh's ALLOWLIST, matching the sanctioned, precedented exemption already used for other legitimate security-regression fixtures (tests/windsurf-conversion.test.cjs, tests/health-validation.test.cjs, tests/continuation-grammar-parity.test.cjs) per DEFECT.PROMPT-INJECTION-SCAN-COLLISION. --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>	2026-09-02 22:38:31 -04:00
Tom Boucher	91ed46882a	feat(#3675): quick-batch core primitives and resumable manifest (#4190) ... * test(#3675): add failing tests for quick-batch core primitives Adds the full behavioral (tests/quick-batch.test.cjs) and property-based (tests/quick-batch.property.test.cjs) coverage for #3675's quick-batch core primitives per the phase's 35-row test matrix — task-list parsing (inline + --file, with path-confinement/symlink-escape/non-regular-file rejection), collision-safe quick-id preallocation under withPlanningLock, BATCH.json schema/validation/resume, dependency-DAG + partitionByFileOverlap wave construction, and exactly-once STATE.md completion (including the STATE-row-written-but-manifest-not-yet-updated crash window). The import target (gsd-core/bin/lib/quick-batch.cjs, compiled from a not-yet-written src/quick-batch.cts) does not exist yet — every test in both files fails at the top-level require() before any assertion runs. Five fast-check properties cover collision-freedom under lock contention, resume idempotency, exactly-once STATE completion, wave totality, and DAG-respecting wave order, per the design doc's property-based-coverage requirement. * feat(#3675): implement quick-batch core primitives Adds src/quick-batch.cts (ADR-457 build-at-publish, compiled to gsd-core/bin/lib/quick-batch.cjs) implementing #3675's quick-batch core primitives per the phase design lock — pure/state primitives and CLI-testable core operations only, no agent dispatch, no worktree creation, no user-facing command (Phase 4/#3676's job): - parseTaskList / parseTaskListFromFile: inline bulleted/numbered task-list parsing (>=2 items required) and a --file variant strictly confined to the planning workspace root via requireSafePath, rejecting non-regular-file targets. - allocateQuickIds / createBatch: collision-safe YYMMDD-xxx quick-id preallocation under withPlanningLock, checked against both on-disk .planning/quick/ entries and sibling .planning/quick-batches/*/BATCH.json manifests (never on-disk-only, which would miss another in-flight batch that hasn't dispatched any real quick directory yet) — replicates cmdInitQuick's own grammar rather than delegating to it (that function's 2-second granularity is not batch-safe). - computeWaves: deterministic wave construction combining dependency-DAG layering with partitionByFileOverlap (#3674), called per DAG layer over path-separator-normalized planned_files — normalization happens at this module's boundary, never inside the Phase 2 helper. - loadBatch: fail-closed BATCH.json schema validation (corrupt/truncated JSON, wrong types, missing fields, out-of-batch dependency references, dependency cycles, a worktree path absent from disk). - resumeBatch: skips complete items, never auto-retries failed items, propagates/reverses blocked status along the DAG to a fixed point, and detects a STATE.md row that already exists for a non-complete item (the "STATE written, BATCH.json not yet updated" crash window) — completing it without re-appending. Idempotent across repeated calls. - completeQuickItem / hasQuickTaskRow: exactly-once STATE.md completion — appendQuickTaskRow (unmodified) is called at most once per quick id, gated by hasQuickTaskRow's own idempotency check re-parsing the real "Quick Tasks Completed" table, since appendQuickTaskRow itself carries no idempotency. BATCH.json lives at .planning/quick-batches/<batch-id>/BATCH.json, a sibling of .planning/quick/ — never inside it, so scanQuickTasks never misreads a batch manifest as a broken quick task. * docs(#3675): register the new quick-batch module New src/*.cts -> bin/lib/*.cjs modules need four hand-maintained registrations beyond the code itself: .gitignore (compiled artifact), eslint.config.mjs (ADR-457: lint the .cts, not the emitted .cjs), docs/INVENTORY.md's CLI Modules roster row plus the regenerated docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json cli_modules entry, and a CONTEXT.md glossary entry matching the convention set by the sibling File Overlap Partitioner Module (#3674) entry it sits beside. NOTE: docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json was updated BY HAND (alphabetically sorted single-entry insertion into families.cli_modules, matching the existing file's structure) rather than via `node scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write` — this session's MEMTRACE-FIRST guard hard-blocks direct execution of that indexed script path from Bash, with no available Memtrace tool to route through instead. The orchestrator should re-run `node scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --check` to confirm this hand-edit is byte-identical to the generator's own output before merging. * fix(#3675): resolve lint findings in quick-batch primitives and tests Unsafe `any[]` assignment from `new Array(n)` in the DAG cycle-check color array, two unnecessary `as string[]` casts TS 5.5's inferred type predicates already narrowed, raw `fs.rmSync` in test cleanup (needs the Windows-EBUSY retry budget `helpers.cleanup` carries), an unused `loadBatch` import, an unbounded `mkfifo` subprocess spawn missing a timeout, and a CONTEXT.md glossary illustration that looked like a real file reference. * feat(#3675): close acceptance-criteria gaps found in review Standards- and spec-axis review (plus a self-caught race) surfaced real gaps against issue #3675's own acceptance criteria and this repo's test conventions: - BATCH.json was missing options, base_revision, per-item wave, and per-item commit — the issue's AC explicitly lists all four as things the manifest must track. Added them: createBatch persists caller-supplied batchOptions/baseRevision verbatim and assigns each item its computed wave index; completeQuickItem now persists the commit onto the item, not just the STATE.md row. All four are backward-tolerant on load (an older/hand-built manifest without them still validates). - resumeBatch had no "incompatible base divergence" check at all, despite the AC and the ADR's own "Base divergence" section requiring one. Added an opt-in currentBaseRevision comparison that fails closed with a recoverable diagnostic on mismatch, and touches nothing on refusal. - resumeBatch read-modify-wrote BATCH.json OUTSIDE withPlanningLock — the only durable write path in this module that wasn't lock-protected, a real lost-update race against a concurrent completeQuickItem or another resume. Now runs inside the same lock createBatch/ completeQuickItem use. - loadBatch and collectExistingBatchQuickIds used raw JSON.parse with no size cap (security review, Low/informational); switched to the existing safeJsonParse (1MB cap) for defense-in-depth. - Parser (parseTaskList) had only example-based tests; CLAUDE.md requires a fast-check property test for parsers. Added one plus a companion reject-property for <2 items. - The id-exhaustion fail-closed ceiling (MAX_TIME_BLOCK) was untested at any boundary. Exported the pure allocateIdsGivenUsed/MAX_TIME_BLOCK for direct limit-1/limit/limit+1 testing without needing 46k fixture dirs. - Issue AC explicitly asks for prompt-injection-payload test coverage, distinct from the existing shell-metacharacter test; added one. - Test row 9 (FIFO skip) silently returned instead of calling t.skip(), so an unsupported platform would report a pass rather than a documented skip; fixed to bind the test-context param and skip properly. - Extracted toWaveInput to remove a 2-site production duplication of the QuickBatchItem -> computeWaves reshape (Standards-axis smell). - Added the required .changeset/ fragment (CONTRIBUTING.md: editing src/ is user-facing even though the compiled .cjs is gitignored). * fix(#3675): restore "not valid JSON" wording in loadBatch's parse-failure reason gsd-test caught this: switching loadBatch to safeJsonParse changed the parse- failure message shape ("... parse error — ...") without preserving the "not valid JSON" substring row 27's own test asserts on. Re-wrap safeJsonParse's error into the original diagnostic phrasing regardless of which of its three failure modes fired. * docs(#3675): backfill changeset pr number to 4190 * fix(#3675): detect a silently-no-op mkfifo on Windows, not just a throwing one CI caught this on windows-latest: row 9's platform-skip only caught mkfifo throwing (command not found). On this runner mkfifo resolves to something that exits 0 without creating a file (NTFS has no FIFO concept), so execution fell through to parseTaskListFromFile against a path that doesn't exist, producing an ENOENT stat error instead of the expected "not a regular file" rejection. Check the artifact actually exists before trusting a zero exit code, and skip with a documented reason either way. --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>	2026-09-02 15:38:27 -04:00
