12e4d93b19 fix(#2393): add GSD_ALLOW_SYMLINKED_DEST opt-in for intentional user-owned symlink layouts (#2445)
* fix(#2393): add GSD_ALLOW_SYMLINKED_DEST opt-in for intentional user-owned symlink layouts

Bug: v1.7.0's destSubpath write-confinement (ADR-1239 Phase B) refused
install/update whenever CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR (or an artifact-kind child like
skills/, hooks/) was a pre-existing symlink, with no opt-out. Three
legitimate user-owned layouts were blocked:

  - (lars-hh) CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=~/.claude-personal with skills/hooks
              symlinked to a user-owned external dir
  - (Mamiki)  ~/.claude/skills is a Windows Junction to a shared skills dir
  - (Azd325)  ~/.claude itself is a symlink to a dotfiles repo (the early
              root-is-symlink return refused before the component loop ran)

Fix: add GSD_ALLOW_SYMLINKED_DEST env var (accepts '1' or 'true'). When
set, hasExistingSymlinkBetween follows symlinks instead of refusing them.
Cross-platform: fs.lstatSync().isSymbolicLink() returns true for both
POSIX symlinks and NTFS junctions (Node ≥ 16), so Mamiki's Junction case
is handled by the same code path.

Threat model preserved (these still refuse EVEN WITH opt-in):
  (a) path-traversal in the destSubpath string itself ('../../etc'-style)
      — ADR-1239 Phase B threat (a), untrusted destSubpath protection
  (b) a symlink whose resolved real path equals the install root itself
      — would let _removeGsdEntries wipe the root; #1704 threat (b)
  (c) broken symlinks (realpathSync throws) — fail-closed

What opt-in RELAXES specifically: the 'pre-existing symlink pointing
outside configHome' refusal — #1704 threat (c). The user has explicitly
asserted they own and trust the symlink target.

Error messages at all 4 call sites (installRuntimeArtifacts, _copyStaged,
migrateLegacyDevPreferencesToSkill, installOpencodeFamilySkills) updated
to (1) name the env var opt-in, (2) be accurate when the root itself is
a symlink (Azd325's complaint that the old message accused destDir of
'containing' a symlink when the root was the actual symlink).

Docs: docs/CONFIGURATION.md Environment Variables table updated.

Regression tests in tests/install-write-confinement.test.cjs cover:
  - child-symlink layout (lars-hh / Mamiki): default refuses, opt-in allows
  - root-is-symlink layout (Azd325): default refuses, opt-in follows
  - path-traversal '../../etc' refused EVEN WITH opt-in (threat a preserved)
  - resolved-target-equals-install-root refused EVEN WITH opt-in (threat b)
  - broken symlink refused EVEN WITH opt-in (fail-closed)

* test(#2393): import beforeEach/afterEach in install-write-confinement suite

The original file imported only { describe, test } from node:test. The new
#2393 opt-in describe block uses beforeEach/afterEach to manage the
GSD_ALLOW_SYMLINKED_DEST env var lifecycle — add them to the import.

* test(#2393): correct broken-symlink test — existsSync follows link → loop terminates early

Initial test expected broken symlinks to be refused even with opt-in. That
was wrong: fs.existsSync follows symlinks, so a broken symlink returns
false from existsSync and the component loop terminates before the symlink
check fires. Both default and opt-in paths share this behavior; the fix
preserves it.

Updates the test to pin the actual current behavior so a future refactor
(e.g. switching to lstatSync for existence) is a deliberate behavior change.

* fix(#2393): realpath the install root — guard against macOS /var ↔ /private/var

Code review (security subagent) flagged a HIGH-severity hole in the threat-(b)
preservation: realTarget (from fs.realpathSync) is fully symlink-resolved,
resolvedRoot (from path.resolve) is lexical-only. On macOS /var is a symlink
to /private/var, so resolvedRoot='/var/foo/.claude' but realConfigHome is
'/private/var/foo/.claude'. A symlink whose realtarget matches the install
root by real path would compare unequal to the lexical resolvedRoot —
defeating the wipe-protection guard exactly in the reporter's case (Azd325,
nix-darwin: ~/.claude is itself a symlink).

Fix: compute realRoot once via fs.realpathSync(resolvedRoot) at function entry
(with fail-closed fallback to lexical form on realpath failure — broken/missing
root, permission denied, exotic FS). Threat (a) path-traversal check above
still confines regardless. Compare against BOTH lexical and real forms in
both the root-symlink and component-symlink branches.

Also adds the reviewer's transitivity-trust clarification comment: once a
symlink is followed under opt-in, the walk continues from the resolved real
path WITHOUT re-checking further segments stay inside a confining boundary.
This is documented opt-in semantics — one opt-in trusts the whole reachable
tree — and the comment makes the design choice explicit so a future
maintainer doesn't add a 'follow one symlink only' expectation.

Regression test added for the macOS /var normalization case (spelled configHome
via os.tmpdir() lexically while pointing the test symlink through its realpath).
Test skips on non-darwin platforms and when os.tmpdir() has no symlink component.

* fix(#2393): root-symlink branch — do not apply threat-(b) check to root itself

Initial fix applied the wipe-threat-(b) check to the root-symlink branch
unconditionally. That was wrong: when root itself is a symlink (Azd325's
nix-darwin case), its realpath IS realRoot by construction — so the check
always fires, defeating the opt-in for exactly the case it was meant to
enable.

The wipe threat (b) does NOT apply to root being a symlink: destDir is a
CHILD of root, and resolving root just gives root's target. There is no
circular back-reference to root from a path that descends from a resolved
root. So the root-symlink branch should just follow the symlink under opt-in
and continue the walk, no threat-(b) check.

Threat (b) only fires in the COMPONENT loop, where a child symlink can
resolve back to the install root. That branch keeps the (b) check using BOTH
lexical and real forms of root (the macOS /var ↔ /private/var fix from the
prior commit).

* fix(#2393): apply opt-in at the 5 bin/install.js call sites + add env-var/transitive tests

Code review (correctness subagent) flagged a Critical coverage gap: the
initial fix updated only the 4 src/install-engine.cts call sites. Five
more call sites in bin/install.js still used the 2-arg signature, so the
opt-in env var was silently ignored on:

  - installCodexConfig (config.toml + agents/ dir + per-agent .toml paths)
    — Codex only
  - copyWithPathReplacement (the generic emit path: workflows, commands,
    staging) — ALL runtimes
  - resolveInstallRelativePath (path resolver used in various places)

Result: a user setting GSD_ALLOW_SYMLINKED_DEST=1 would see SOME refusals
disappear (engine path) and OTHERS remain (bin/install.js paths) — a
partially-applied install and a confusing UX, directly contradicting the
PR's headline claim.

Fix:
- Export isSymlinkedDestOptIn from src/install-engine.cts alongside
  hasExistingSymlinkBetween
- Import it in bin/install.js
- Update all 5 bin/install.js call sites to pass { allowOptInFollow }
- Update all 3 bin/install.js error messages to name the env var, matching
  the engine's phrasing

Also addresses reviewer's Medium test-adequacy findings:
- isSymlinkedDestOptIn env-var parsing now tested directly (accepts only
  documented '1' / 'true'; rejects 'TRUE', 'yes', 'on', '0', 'false',
  empty, unset)
- transitive symlink chain (configHome/outer → outside1 → outside2) test
  pins the documented 'transitive and unbounded' opt-in semantics so a
  future contributor can't accidentally narrow it

6d072435d0 test(#1975): consolidate 51 CLI + scripts-tooling regression tests into module suites
Fold 51 issue-named CLI black-box + scripts-tooling regression files into their
canonical module suites (runtime-launcher-parity, worktree-safety, install-*, managed-hooks,
read-guard, capability-registry, etc.), plus a NEW slash-command-namespace.test.cjs grouping
the 4 slash/colon-namespace-leak invariant suites that had no canonical owner. Verbatim
block-scoped describe wrappers; 427 subtests conserved 1:1.

Host-env pre-check (per B2): no CLI-receiving host sets a redirecting GSD_WORKSTREAM/GSD_PROJECT
value. One folded suite (bug-3668 runtime resolver) creates an extension-less PATH gsd-tools
stub + bash -c; co-locating it with the host's chmodSync tripped local/no-unguarded-nonportable-exec,
so it's now Windows-guarded (skip on win32) matching the host suite's own bash -c guard.

Regenerates regression-name allowlist (222->182), ratchets file-count allowlist (graphify 7->6,
docs entry removed), makes 26 relocated allow-test-rule exemptions issue-ref-compliant (ADR-456;
prunes stale ids). Repoints 13 tests/ references across CONTEXT.md, COMMANDS.md/FEATURES.md
(EN + ja/ko/pt/zh) and ADR-0002. lint:ci green.

Part of epic #1969. Closes #1975.

0cc7a1a426 test(#1974): consolidate 27 installer/hooks remainder tests into module suites
Fold 27 issue-named installer/hooks/statusline/migration/reapply regression files
into their canonical module suites (installer-migrations, installer-migration-report,
gsd-statusline, reapply-verify-hunks, install-*, gsd-check-update-worker-platform-gate,
etc.). Verbatim block-scoped describe wrappers; 276 subtests conserved 1:1. No new files.

The one subdir origin (tests/installer-migrations/001-legacy-orphan-files) moved up one
level into installer-migrations.test.cjs; its single ../../ module require corrected to
../ so it resolves from tests/ root (verified). Host-env pre-check: no CLI-receiving host
sets a redirecting GSD_WORKSTREAM/GSD_PROJECT value.

Regenerates regression-name allowlist (222->205), ratchets file-count allowlist (verify
11->8, validate entry removed), makes 16 relocated allow-test-rule exemptions issue-ref-
compliant (ADR-456; prunes stale ids). Repoints 15 tests/ references across state-md.md
(EN + ja/ko/pt/zh). lint:ci green.

Part of epic #1969. Closes #1974.

4f779eda43 test(#1970): consolidate 61 install-suite regression tests into function suites
Fold 61 issue-named install/codex/runtime regression files into the canonical
test file that owns each subject-under-test, preserving every assertion and its
origin issue number as provenance (block-scoped describe wrappers, zero assertion
loss — 652 subtests conserved 1:1). Routes:

- codex-config.test.cjs        +19 (codex config/toml/hooks/adapter/skill surface)
- install.test.cjs             +18 (node-runner norm, manifest, arg parse, finishInstall)
- install-runtime-artifacts    +13 (per-runtime conversion + emission)
- install-minimal-hooks        +6  (hook-event dialects + guards)
- path-replacement             +2  (opencode absolute pathPrefix)
- install-write-confinement    +2  (pristine dir writes)
- install-regressions          +1  (user-artifact preservation)

Removes 61 tests/ files → 61 fewer CI processes. Regenerates the regression-name
allowlist (271→222), ratchets the file-count allowlist (config 10→9, install 12→9),
and makes 13 relocated allow-test-rule exemptions issue-ref-compliant (ADR-456;
prunes 13 stale allowlist ids). Repoints ADR-0009's moved-test list. lint:ci green.

Part of epic #1969. Closes #1970.

41dfeed45a feat(#1724): complete install write-confinement (copyWithPathReplacement, installCodexConfig) (ADR-1239 Phase B) (#1725)
* feat(#1724): complete install write-confinement (copyWithPathReplacement, installCodexConfig)

ADR-1239 Phase B (parent #1679). PR #1706 (2a) confined the layout-driven
plan path and _copyStaged's inline guard; this completes the destSubpath
write-confinement acceptance criterion for the two remaining write sites
and canonicalizes _copyStaged.

- copyWithPathReplacement: new required confinementRoot param; a fail-closed
  gate (assertDestWithinConfigHome + hasExistingSymlinkBetween) runs BEFORE
  the rmSync/mkdirSync; root threaded through recursion + all 4 call sites
  (stageRoot for pristine staging, targetDir for the 3 install sites); writes
  go through the validated absolute path. Exported for behavioral testing.
- installCodexConfig: confines config.toml, agents/, and per-agent
  agents/<name>.toml (name from agent frontmatter) via the canonical gate +
  symlink-escape guard (parity with the other two functions).
- _copyStaged: fail-closed when configDir omitted (all callers pass it);
  delegates strict-subpath to the canonical gate, keeps its symlink guard,
  writes through the validated absolute path.

Reuses the existing assertDestWithinConfigHome (handles absolute dests via
path.resolve) and hasExistingSymlinkBetween — no new module. Behavioral
regression tests (escape/dest==root/fail-closed/symlink/name-injection),
red-first proven; cross-platform symlink tests use t.skip not bare return.

Closes #1724
