* fix(workflows): assert HEAD on per-agent branch before worktree commits
Worktree-mode setup could leave HEAD attached to a protected branch (master),
causing agent commits to land there. The previous response was a destructive
self-recovery via 'git update-ref refs/heads/master <sha>', which silently
rewinds the protected branch and destroys concurrent commits in multi-active
scenarios (parallel agents, user committing while agent runs).
- Reorder <worktree_branch_check> in execute-phase.md and quick.md to assert
HEAD via 'git symbolic-ref' BEFORE any 'git reset --hard'. HALT with a
blocker if HEAD is on main/master/develop/trunk/release/* or detached.
- Add a per-commit HEAD assertion (step 0) to gsd-executor.md
<task_commit_protocol>; HEAD attachment can drift after 'git checkout <sha>'.
- Forbid 'git update-ref refs/heads/<protected>' in
<destructive_git_prohibition>; surface the blocker rather than self-heal.
- Remove '--no-verify' as the worktree-mode default in execute-phase.md,
execute-plan.md, quick.md, and references/git-integration.md. Hooks now
run on every executor commit; opt out only via workflow.worktree_skip_hooks.
- Add regression test that parses the worktree_branch_check blocks structurally
and asserts the symbolic-ref check precedes the reset --hard, no workflow
performs update-ref on a protected ref, and --no-verify is no longer the
default in any parallel-execution prompt.
* fix(#2924): address CodeRabbit review findings on worktree HEAD PR
- Add positive worktree-agent-* allow-list to <task_commit_protocol> step 0
in gsd-executor.md and to <worktree_branch_check> in execute-phase.md and
quick.md. The deny-list (main|master|develop|trunk|release/*) silently
allowed feature/* and other arbitrary branches outside the agent namespace.
- Register workflow.worktree_skip_hooks in both config schemas
(sdk/src/query/config-schema.ts and get-shit-done/bin/lib/config-schema.cjs)
and document it in docs/CONFIGURATION.md so config-set accepts it.
- Fix stash lifecycle in execute-phase.md post-wave hook validation: stash
under a named ref and pop after the hook run; warn on pop failure.
- Pre-dispatch PLAN.md commit in quick.md: gate on git diff --cached --quiet
for idempotency and exit 1 with a clear error on commit failure (both the
--no-verify and the normal branches) — no more swallowing real errors.
- Test fixes (tests/bug-2924-worktree-head-attachment.test.cjs):
- Parse the protected-branch alternation structurally and require
main, master, develop, trunk, release/.* (release/* was previously
skipped by the \\b...\\b regex).
- Use fs.readdirSync(dir, { recursive: true }) so workflows in nested
subdirectories are also asserted against the update-ref ban.
- Add allow-list assertions for execute-phase.md, quick.md, and
gsd-executor.md to lock in the new positive namespace check.
* test(#2924): assert sub-section end marker exists before slicing
* test(#2924): use section boundary instead of fixed window for parallel-agents slice
* fix(#2839): make /gsd-code-review-fix cleanup transactional
Cleanup tail in agents/gsd-code-fixer.md previously did 'git worktree
remove' without any recovery marker. If the process was killed between
fix commits and worktree removal, the orphan worktree + branch survived
with no resume path — the next run had no way to discover or finish
the cleanup.
Introduce a recovery sentinel at ${phase_dir}/.review-fix-recovery-pending.json
with strict ordering:
- Sentinel written AFTER 'git worktree add' succeeds (never points at a
worktree that does not exist).
- Sentinel removed ONLY AFTER 'git worktree remove' returns successfully
(interruption between commits and removal leaves a sentinel behind).
- New runs detect a pre-existing sentinel, force-remove the recorded
orphan worktree, then drop the stale sentinel before continuing —
making the agent self-healing after a crash.
Closes#2839
* fix(#2839): harden sentinel JSON parse and scope ordering assertion
Address CodeRabbit review feedback on PR #2846:
- agents/gsd-code-fixer.md: Guard the recovery-sentinel JSON parse with
try/catch so a corrupted/truncated sentinel (a realistic crash artifact)
emits a warning and yields an empty prior_wt instead of aborting setup.
This preserves the self-healing recovery path even when the sentinel
itself is the casualty of the original crash.
- tests/bug-2839-review-fix-transactional-cleanup.test.cjs: Scope the
cleanup-ordering assertion to the cleanup-tail section of the
setup_worktree step rather than first global occurrences. Previously
the assertion could pass on pre-recovery references even if cleanup-tail
ordering regressed. The regex also now accepts the shell-variable form
(\`rm -f \"\$sentinel\"\`) used in the cleanup tail.

* fix(#2767): pass paths via --files to gsd-sdk query commit + lint guard
Workflows, agents, commands, and references passed file paths positionally
to `gsd-sdk query commit`, which silently appended them to the commit
subject and triggered the `.planning/` wholesale-stage fallback in
sdk/src/query/commit.ts:136. Regression of #733/#798.
Inserted `--files` before the path list at every site (81 invocations
across 50 files). Added tests/bug-2767-gsd-sdk-commit-files-flag.test.cjs
as a permanent lint that scans every shipped .md file and asserts each
`gsd-sdk query commit[-to-subrepo]` invocation either uses `--files` or
carries no path arguments.
Closes#2767
* test(#2767): replace source-grep with behavioral SDK test
The original test walked every shipped .md file and regex-tokenized
`gsd-sdk query commit` invocations to assert `--files` was present.
CONTRIBUTING.md prohibits this source-grep pattern.
Rewrite as behavioral SDK tests against `sdk/dist/cli.js` over a real
tmp git project (createTempGitProject helper). Cover both the
well-formed (`--files <paths>`) form — clean subject, exactly-staged
files, .planning/ left untouched — and the buggy positional form,
asserting the documented misbehavior (paths leak into subject + the
`.planning/` wholesale-stage fallback at commit.ts:136). Also asserts
`commit-to-subrepo` rejects when `--files` is omitted (commit.ts:258).
The doc-lint is retained as a supplementary defense-in-depth guard
since agent-prompt markdown invocations cannot be exercised end-to-end
— but it is no longer the primary contract.
* docs(#2767): correct contradictory --files guidance in zh-CN/en docs + fix test docstring
* feat(#2500): enrich gsd-codebase-mapper arch-focus ARCHITECTURE.md template
The codebase mapper's arch-focus template was a sparse structural inventory.
After major refactors, the research/ARCHITECTURE.md (created at /gsd-new-project
and never refreshable) went stale while the refreshable codebase version lacked
the visual richness that makes architecture docs useful for planning.
Add to the ARCHITECTURE.md template:
- <!-- refreshed: {date} --> marker at the top (maintainer request)
- ASCII system overview diagram with component boxes and flow arrows
- Component responsibility table (Component / Responsibility / File)
- Primary request path traces with numbered steps and code references
- Architectural constraints section (threading, global state, circular imports)
- Anti-patterns section with codebase-specific patterns and correct alternatives
All existing sections (Pattern Overview, Layers, Key Abstractions, Entry Points,
Error Handling, Cross-Cutting Concerns) are preserved.
7 new tests in tests/enh-2500-codebase-mapper-arch-rich-format.test.cjs verify
each required section is present in the deployed template.

* fix(#2686): review-fix agent now uses git worktree for isolation
The gsd-code-fixer agent operated directly against the main working tree,
racing any concurrent foreground session for HEAD, the index, and on-disk

HEAD) as the first action before any file operations, with unconditional
git worktree remove cleanup on exit. Mirrors the pattern used by all other
GSD per-issue agents.

* feat: auto-remap codebase after significant phase execution (#2003)
Adds a post-phase structural drift detector that compares the committed tree
against `.planning/codebase/STRUCTURE.md` and either warns or auto-remaps
the affected subtrees when drift exceeds a configurable threshold.
## Summary
- New `bin/lib/drift.cjs` — pure detector covering four drift categories:
new directories outside mapped paths, new barrel exports at
`(packages|apps)/*/src/index.*`, new migration files, and new route
modules. Prioritizes the most-specific category per file.
- New `verify codebase-drift` CLI subcommand + SDK handler, registered as
`gsd-sdk query verify.codebase-drift`.
- New `codebase_drift_gate` step in `execute-phase` between
`schema_drift_gate` and `verify_phase_goal`. Non-blocking by contract —
any error logs and the phase continues.
- Two new config keys: `workflow.drift_threshold` (int, default 3) and
`workflow.drift_action` (`warn` | `auto-remap`, default `warn`), with
enum/integer validation in `config-set`.
- `gsd-codebase-mapper` learns an optional `--paths <p1,p2,...>` scope hint
for incremental remapping; agent/workflow docs updated.
- `last_mapped_commit` lives in YAML frontmatter on each
`.planning/codebase/*.md` file; `readMappedCommit`/`writeMappedCommit`
round-trip helpers ship in `drift.cjs`.
## Tests
- 55 new tests in `tests/drift-detection.test.cjs` covering:
classification, threshold gating at 2/3/4 elements, warn vs. auto-remap
routing, affected-path scoping, `--paths` sanitization (traversal,
absolute, shell metacharacter rejection), frontmatter round-trip,
defensive paths (missing STRUCTURE.md, malformed input, non-git repos),
CLI JSON output, and documentation parity.
- Full suite: 5044 pass / 0 fail.
## Documentation
- `docs/CONFIGURATION.md` — rows for both new keys.
- `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` — section on the post-execute drift gate.
- `docs/AGENTS.md` — `--paths` flag on `gsd-codebase-mapper`.
- `docs/USER-GUIDE.md` — user-facing behavior note + toggle commands.
- `docs/FEATURES.md` — new 27a section with REQ-DRIFT-01..06.
- `docs/INVENTORY.md` + `docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json` — drift.cjs listed.
- `get-shit-done/workflows/execute-phase.md` — `codebase_drift_gate` step.
- `get-shit-done/workflows/map-codebase.md` — `parse_paths_flag` step.
- `agents/gsd-codebase-mapper.md` — `--paths` directive under parse_focus.
## Design decisions
- **Frontmatter over sidecar JSON** for `last_mapped_commit`: keeps the
baseline attached to the file, survives git moves, survives per-doc
regeneration, no extra file lifecycle.
- **Substring match against STRUCTURE.md** for `isPathMapped`: the map is
free-form markdown, not a structured manifest; any mention of a path
prefix counts as "mapped territory". Cheap, no parser, zero false
negatives on reasonable maps.
- **Category priority migration > route > barrel > new_dir** so a file
matching multiple rules counts exactly once at the most specific level.
- **Empty-tree SHA fallback** (`4b825dc6…`) when `last_mapped_commit` is
absent — semantically correct (no baseline means everything is drift)
and deterministic across repos.
- **Four layers of non-blocking** — detector try/catch, CLI try/catch, SDK
handler try/catch, and workflow `|| echo` shell fallback. Any single
layer failing still returns a valid skipped result.
- **SDK handler delegates to `gsd-tools.cjs`** rather than re-porting the
detector to TypeScript, keeping drift logic in one canonical place.

* docs(mapper): tag --paths fenced block as text (CodeRabbit MD040)
Comment 3127255172.
* docs(config): use /gsd- dash command syntax in drift_action row (CodeRabbit)
Comment 3127255180. Matches the convention used by every other command
reference in docs/CONFIGURATION.md.
* fix(execute-phase): initialize AGENT_SKILLS_MAPPER + tag fenced blocks
Two CodeRabbit findings on the auto-remap branch of the drift gate:
- 3127255186 (must-fix): the mapper Task prompt referenced
${AGENT_SKILLS_MAPPER} but only AGENT_SKILLS (for gsd-executor) is
loaded at init_context (line 72). Without this fix the literal
placeholder string would leak into the spawned mapper's prompt.
Add an explicit gsd-sdk query agent-skills gsd-codebase-mapper step
right before the Task spawn.
- 3127255183: tag the warn-message and Task() fenced code blocks as
text to satisfy markdownlint MD040.
* docs(map-codebase): wire PATH_SCOPE_HINT through every mapper prompt
CodeRabbit (review id 4158286952, comment 3127255190) flagged that the
parse_paths_flag step defined incremental-remap semantics but did not
inject a normalized variable into the spawn_agents and sequential_mapping
mapper prompts, so incremental remap could silently regress to a
whole-repo scan.
- Define SCOPED_PATHS / PATH_SCOPE_HINT in parse_paths_flag.
- Inject ${PATH_SCOPE_HINT} into all four spawn_agents Task prompts.
- Document the same scope contract for sequential_mapping mode.
* fix(drift): writeMappedCommit tolerates missing target file
CodeRabbit (review id 4158286952, drift.cjs:349-355 nitpick) noted that
readMappedCommit returns null on ENOENT but writeMappedCommit threw — an
asymmetry that breaks first-time stamping of a freshly produced doc that
the caller has not yet written.
- Catch ENOENT on the read; treat absent file as empty content.
- Add a regression test that calls writeMappedCommit on a non-existent
path and asserts the file is created with correct frontmatter.
Test was authored to fail before the fix (ENOENT) and passes after.

The gsd-phase-researcher and gsd-project-researcher agents instructed
WebSearch queries to always include 'current year' (e.g., 2024). As
time passes, a hardcoded year biases search results toward stale
dated content — users saw 2024-tagged queries producing stale blog
references in 2026.
Remove the year-injection guidance. Instead, rely on checking
publication dates on the returned sources. Query templates and
success criteria updated accordingly.

* feat(plan-phase): chunked mode + filesystem fallback for Windows stdio hang (#2310)
Addresses the 2026-04-16 Windows incident where gsd-planner wrote all 5
PLAN.md files to disk but Task() never returned, hanging the orchestrator
for 30+ minutes. Two mitigations:
1. Filesystem fallback (steps 9a, 11a): when Task() returns with an
empty/truncated response but PLAN.md files exist on disk, surface a
recoverable prompt (Accept plans / Retry planner / Stop) instead of
silently failing. Directly addresses the post-restart recovery path.
2. Chunked mode (--chunked flag / workflow.plan_chunked config): splits the
single long-lived planner Task into a short outline Task (~2 min) followed
by N short per-plan Tasks (~3-5 min each). Each plan is committed
individually for crash resilience. A hang loses one plan, not all of them.
Resume detection skips plans already on disk on re-run.
RCA confirmed: task state mtime 14:29 vs PLAN.md writes 14:32-14:52 =
subagent completed normally, IPC return was dropped by Windows stdio deadlock.
Neither mitigation fixes the root cause (requires upstream Task() timeout
support); both bound damage and enable recovery.
New reference file planner-chunked.md keeps OUTLINE COMPLETE / PLAN COMPLETE
return formats out of gsd-planner.md (which sits at 46K near its size limit).

Two new specialist agents for /gsd-ingest-docs (#2387):
- gsd-doc-classifier: reads one doc, writes JSON classification
({ADR|PRD|SPEC|DOC|UNKNOWN} + title + scope + cross-refs + locked).
Heuristic-first, LLM on ambiguous. Designed for parallel fan-out per doc.
- gsd-doc-synthesizer: consumes all classifications + sources, applies
precedence rules (ADR>SPEC>PRD>DOC, manifest-overridable), runs cycle
detection on cross-ref graph, enforces LOCKED-vs-LOCKED hard-blocks
in both modes, writes INGEST-CONFLICTS.md with three buckets
(auto-resolved, competing-variants, unresolved-blockers) and

* feat: add /gsd-spec-phase — Socratic spec refinement with ambiguity scoring (#2213)
Introduces `/gsd-spec-phase <phase>` as an optional pre-step before discuss-phase.

quantitative ambiguity scoring before discuss-phase handles HOW to implement.
- `commands/gsd/spec-phase.md` — slash command routing to workflow

Ambiguity Report, and Interview Log; includes two full worked examples
- `get-shit-done/workflows/discuss-phase.md` — new `check_spec` step detects
`{padded_phase}-SPEC.md` at startup; displays "Found SPEC.md — N requirements
locked. Focusing on implementation decisions."; `analyze_phase` respects `spec_loaded`
flag to skip "what/why" gray areas; `write_context` emits `<spec_lock>` section

The `cmdInitMapCodebase` / `initMapCodebase` init handlers did not
include `date` or `timestamp` fields in their JSON output, unlike
`init quick` and `init todo` which both provide them.
Because the mapper agents had no reliable date source, they were forced
to guess the date from model training data, producing incorrect
Analysis Date values (e.g. 2025-07-15 instead of the actual date) in
all seven `.planning/codebase/*.md` documents.
Changes:
- Add `date` and `timestamp` to `cmdInitMapCodebase` (init.cjs) and
`initMapCodebase` (init.ts)
- Pass `{date}` into each mapper agent prompt via the workflow
- Update agent definition to use the prompt-provided date instead of
guessing
- Cover sequential_mapping fallback path as well
Architecture diagrams generated by gsd-phase-researcher now enforce
data-flow style (conceptual components with arrows) instead of

subsection in Architecture Patterns output template
- get-shit-done/templates/research.md: add matching directive in
both architecture_patterns template sections
- tests/phase-researcher-flow-diagram.test.cjs: 8 tests validating
directive presence, content, and ordering in agent and template

- Specialist dispatch via AskUserQuestion before fix options; user responses wrapped in DATA_START/DATA_END
- Returns compact ≤2K DEBUG SESSION COMPLETE summary to keep main context lean
- Refactor commands/gsd/debug.md: Steps 3-5 replaced with thin bootstrap that spawns session manager
- Update available_agent_types to include gsd-debug-session-manager
- Continue subcommand also delegates to session manager

* feat(workflow): add opt-in TDD pipeline mode (workflow.tdd_mode)
Add workflow.tdd_mode config key (default: false) that enables
red-green-refactor as a first-class phase execution mode. When
enabled, the planner aggressively applies type: tdd to eligible
tasks and the executor enforces RED/GREEN/REFACTOR gate sequence
with fail-fast on unexpected GREEN before RED. An end-of-phase
collaborative review checkpoint verifies gate compliance.

Add a new pattern mapper agent that analyzes the codebase for existing
patterns before planning, producing PATTERNS.md with per-file analog
assignments and code excerpts. Integrated into plan-phase workflow as
Step 7.8 (between research and planning), controlled by the
workflow.pattern_mapper config key (default: true).
Changes:
- New agent: agents/gsd-pattern-mapper.md
- New config key: workflow.pattern_mapper in VALID_CONFIG_KEYS and CONFIG_DEFAULTS
- init plan-phase: patterns_path field in JSON output
- plan-phase.md: Step 7.8 spawns pattern mapper, PATTERNS_PATH in planner files_to_read
- gsd-plan-checker.md: Dimension 12 (Pattern Compliance)
- model-profiles.cjs: gsd-pattern-mapper profile entry
- Tests: tests/pattern-mapper.test.cjs (5 tests)

decisions. Expand decision coverage matrix to multi-source audit covering
GOAL, REQ, RESEARCH, and CONTEXT artifacts. Add Source Audit gap handling
to plan-phase orchestrator (step 9c). Update plan-checker to detect
time/complexity language in scope reduction scans. Add 374 CI regression
tests preventing prohibited language from leaking back into artifacts.

When CONTEXT_WINDOW < 200000, executor and planner agent prompts strip
extended examples and anti-pattern lists into reference files for
on-demand @ loading, reducing static overhead by ~40% while preserving
behavioral correctness for standard (200K-500K) and enriched (500K+) tiers.

Before framework-specific research, phase-researcher now maps each
capability to its architectural tier owner (browser, frontend server,
API, database, CDN). The planner sanity-checks task assignments against
this map, and plan-checker enforces tier compliance as Dimension 7c.

Running git clean inside a worktree treats files committed on the feature
branch as untracked — from the worktree's perspective they were never staged.
The executor deletes them, then commits only its own deliverables; when the
worktree branch merges back the deletions land on the main branch, destroying
prior-wave work (documented across 8 incidents, including commit c6f4753
"Wave 2 executor incorrectly ran git-clean on the worktree").
- Add <destructive_git_prohibition> block to gsd-executor.md explaining
exactly why git clean is unsafe in worktree context and what to use instead
- Add regression tests (bug-2075-worktree-deletion-safeguards.test.cjs)
covering Failure Mode B (git clean prohibition), Failure Mode A
(worktree_branch_check presence audit across all worktree-spawning
workflows), and both defense-in-depth deletion checks from #1977
Failure Mode A and defense-in-depth checks (post-commit --diff-filter=D in
gsd-executor.md, pre-merge --diff-filter=D in execute-phase.md) were already
implemented — tests confirm they remain in place.

Closes#1885
The upstream bug anthropics/claude-code#13898 causes Claude Code to strip all
inherited MCP tools from agents that declare a `tools:` frontmatter restriction,
making `mcp__context7__*` declarations in agent frontmatter completely inert.
Implements Fix 2 from issue #1885 (trek-e's chosen approach): replace the
`<mcp_tool_usage>` block in gsd-executor and gsd-planner with a
`<documentation_lookup>` block that checks for MCP availability first, then
falls back to the Context7 CLI via Bash (`npx --yes ctx7@latest`). Adds the
same `<documentation_lookup>` block to the six researcher agents that declare
MCP tools but lacked any fallback instruction.
Agents fixed (8 total):
- gsd-executor (had <mcp_tool_usage>, now <documentation_lookup> with CLI fallback)
- gsd-planner (had <mcp_tool_usage>, now compact <documentation_lookup>; stays under 45K limit)
- gsd-phase-researcher (new <documentation_lookup> block)
- gsd-project-researcher (new <documentation_lookup> block)
- gsd-ui-researcher (new <documentation_lookup> block)
- gsd-advisor-researcher (new <documentation_lookup> block)
- gsd-ai-researcher (new <documentation_lookup> block)
- gsd-domain-researcher (new <documentation_lookup> block)
When the upstream Claude Code bug is fixed, the MCP path in step 1 of the block
will become active automatically — no agent changes needed.

The deviation rules and task commit protocol were duplicated between
gsd-executor.md (agent definition) and execute-plan.md (workflow).
The copies had diverged: the agent had scope boundary and fix attempt
limits the workflow lacked; the workflow had 3 extra commit types
(perf, docs, style) the agent lacked.
Consolidate gsd-executor.md as the single source of truth:
- Add missing commit types (perf, docs, style) to gsd-executor.md
- Replace execute-plan.md's ~90 lines of duplicated content with
concise references to the agent definition
Saves ~1,600 tokens per workflow spawn and eliminates maintenance
drift between the two copies.

Adds ios-scaffold.md reference that explicitly prohibits Package.swift +
.executableTarget for iOS apps (produces macOS CLI, not iOS app bundle),
requires project.yml + xcodegen generate to create a proper .xcodeproj,
and documents SwiftUI API availability tiers (iOS 16 vs 17). Adds iOS
anti-patterns 28-29 to universal-anti-patterns.md and wires the reference
into gsd-executor.md so executors see the guidance during iOS plan execution.

* fix(worktree): use reset --hard in worktree_branch_check to correctly set base (#2015)
The worktree_branch_check in execute-phase.md and quick.md used
git reset --soft as the fallback when EnterWorktree created a branch
from main/master instead of the current feature branch HEAD. --soft
moves the HEAD pointer but leaves working tree files from main unchanged,
so the executor worked against stale code and produced commits containing
the entire feature branch diff as deletions.
Fix: replace git reset --soft with git reset --hard in both workflow files.
--hard resets both the HEAD pointer and the working tree to the expected
base commit. It is safe in a fresh worktree that has no user changes.
Adds 4 regression tests (2 per workflow) verifying that the check uses
--hard and does not contain --soft.
* fix(worktree): executor deletion verification and pre-merge deletion block (#1977)
- Remove Windows-only qualifier from worktree_branch_check in execute-plan.md
(the EnterWorktree base-branch bug affects all platforms, not just Windows)
- Add post-commit --diff-filter=D deletion check to gsd-executor.md task_commit_protocol
so unexpected file deletions are flagged immediately after each task commit
- Add pre-merge --diff-filter=D deletion guard to execute-phase.md worktree cleanup
so worktree branches containing file deletions are blocked before fast-forward merge
- Add regression test tests/worktree-safety.test.cjs covering all three behaviors

* fix: replace /gsd: command format with /gsd- skill format in all suggestions
All next-step suggestions shown to users were still using the old colon
format (/gsd:xxx) which cannot be copy-pasted as skills. Migrated all
occurrences across agents/, commands/, get-shit-done/, docs/, README files,
bin/install.js (hardcoded defaults for claude runtime), and
get-shit-done/bin/lib/*.cjs (generate-claude-md templates and error messages).
Updated tests to assert new hyphen format instead of old colon format.

Addresses remaining user-facing occurrences missed in the initial migration:

- get-shit-done/workflows/: fix 21 Skill() literal calls that Claude
executes directly (installer does not transform workflow content)
- sdk/prompt-sanitizer.ts: update regex to strip /gsd- format in addition
to legacy /gsd: format; update JSDoc comment
- tests/: update autonomous-ui-steps, prompt-sanitizer to assert new format
Note: commands/gsd/*.md frontmatter (name: gsd:xxx) intentionally unchanged
— installer derives skillName from directory path, not the name field.

* fix(plan-phase): preserve --chain flag in auto-advance sync and handle ui-phase gate in chain mode
Bug 1: step 15 sync-flag check only guarded against --auto, causing
_auto_chain_active to be cleared when plan-phase is invoked without
--auto in ARGUMENTS even though a --chain pipeline was active. Added
--chain to the guard condition, matching discuss-phase behaviour.
Bug 2: UI Design Contract gate (step 5.6) always exited the workflow
when UI-SPEC was missing, breaking the discuss --chain pipeline
silently. When _auto_chain_active is true, the gate now auto-invokes
gsd-ui-phase --auto via Skill() and continues to step 6 without
prompting. Manual invocations retain the existing AskUserQuestion flow.
* fix: remove <sub>/clear</sub> pattern and duplicate old-format command in discuss-phase.md

The gsd-verifier was reporting false-positive gaps for items explicitly
scheduled in later phases of the milestone (e.g., reporting a Phase 5
item as a gap during Phase 1 verification). This adds Step 9b to
cross-reference gaps against later phases using `roadmap analyze` and
move matched items to a `deferred` list that does not affect status.

* fix(phase-runner): add research gate to block planning on unresolved open questions (#1602)
Plan-phase could proceed to planning even when RESEARCH.md had unresolved
open questions in its ## Open Questions section. This caused agents to
plan and execute with fundamental design decisions still undecided.
- Add `research-gate.ts` with pure `checkResearchGate()` function that
parses RESEARCH.md for unresolved open questions
- Integrate gate into PhaseRunner between research (step 2) and plan
(step 3) using existing `invokeBlockerCallback` pattern
- Add Dimension 11 (Research Resolution) to gsd-plan-checker.md agent
- Gate passes when: no Open Questions section, section has (RESOLVED)
suffix, all individual questions marked RESOLVED, or section is empty
- Gate fires `onBlockerDecision` callback with PhaseStepType.Research
and lists the unresolved questions in the error message
- Auto-approves (skip) when no callback registered (headless mode)
- 18 new tests: 13 unit tests for checkResearchGate, 5 integration
tests for PhaseRunner research gate behavior
