27aa40f65e fix(#3023): stage pi's shared hook bundle outside pi's reserved hooks/ directory (#3175)
* test(#3023): failing-first guard — pi must not stage hooks in its reserved dir

pi reserves <configDir>/hooks as its deprecated extension location and warns
on every startup when it exists. Assert a pi install stages the shared hook
bundle under gsd-hooks/ instead, manifests it there, and never creates hooks/.

Also adds pi to the local-scope dir table in install-shared.cjs: pi was in
RUNTIME_META but not LOCAL_DIR_NAME, so scope:'local' resolved
path.join(root, undefined) and no local pi install could be exercised.

Fails before the fix. Verified via the remote runner.

* fix(#3023): stage pi's shared hook bundle outside pi's reserved hooks/ dir

pi reserves <configDir>/hooks as its now-deprecated extension location and
warns on every startup when that directory merely exists — checkDeprecatedExtensionDirs()
guards the warning with a bare existsSync(), unlike its tools/ sibling. GSD staged
its shared hook bundle exactly there, and pi's advised remediation (move it to
extensions/) would break the adapter's paths and expose GSD's .js helpers to pi's
extension auto-discovery.

The bundle directory name is now runtime-descriptor-driven: hostBehaviors
.sharedHooksDirName, defaulting to 'hooks' so all 18 other runtimes are
byte-identical. pi sets 'gsd-hooks'. The name is validated as a single path
segment — separators, dot-only segments, trailing dots, absolute paths, NUL,
and Windows reserved device names all fall back to the default, because the
value is joined onto a user's config root and written to.

Renamed in place rather than relocated: hook scripts resolve siblings via
__dirname/.., so a depth change would silently break them.

- install / uninstall / manifest sites all read the resolved name
- pi/gsd.cjs probes gsd-hooks then hooks, so dev checkouts and half-upgraded
  trees still resolve; the never-throws contract is preserved
- new migration 009 retires the legacy pi hooks/ dir on upgrade, using a new
  non-recursive remove-empty-dir engine primitive (rmdirSync only,
  symlink-refusing, containment-guarded); ADR-0008 amended accordingly
- fixes two latent name-dependencies the rename exposed: the stale-hook scan
  and the injection scanner's self-exclusion both hardcoded 'hooks'

Verified on the remote runner.

Closes #3023

* fix(#3023): close review findings and align emitted provenance with the rename

Adversarial review found two defects, and the remote runner found four
failure clusters. All fixed here.

Review BLOCKER — detect-custom-files was blind to the renamed bundle.
GSD_PREFIX_MANAGED_DIRS in gsd-tools.cjs hardcoded 'hooks', so for pi the
whole gsd-hooks/ tree was invisible to the custom-file scan and user-added
files there were never backed up before the next update's clean-install wipe.
The dir set now resolves via the .gsd-runtime marker plus the shipped
capability registry (never bin/install.js, which is not shipped into installed
trees), and falls back to scanning every known candidate when the runtime
cannot be determined — over-scanning is safe, under-scanning is the data loss.

Review MAJOR — the pi adapter bound to an empty bundle. resolveSharedHooksDir
accepted any directory, so an interrupted install left gsd-hooks/ winning over
a fully-staged legacy hooks/ and every hook silently no-opped. A candidate now
qualifies only if it is non-empty.

Remote-runner clusters:
- emitted-provenance had no rule for the gsd-hooks/ family; added two pi-scoped
  rules pointing at the same sources the existing hooks/ rules use. The table is
  total, so an unattributed family is a hard failure by design.
- pi tests in install-minimal-hooks and the install integration suite asserted
  the old layout; updated to derive the dir name from the descriptor rather than
  hardcoding either name.
- 19 unrelated-looking failures on node22 only were a leaked fs mock: t.after()
  runs in registration order, cleanup was registered before mock.restoreAll(),
  and node22's JS rimraf calls the public fs.rmdirSync while node24's native
  path does not — so the EACCES stub leaked process-wide on one lane. Restore
  now runs first.

Verified on the remote runner.

* fix(#3023): honor PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR, ack the rename ripple, fix expandTilde

pi resolves its agent dir as PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR ?? ~/<CONFIG_DIR_NAME>/agent
(packages/coding-agent/src/config.ts). GSD's pi descriptor declared an empty
configHome.env, so a user with that variable set had GSD installed where pi
never looks. Added the env name; the dot-home-nested resolver already handled
the override, so no resolver logic changed.

Also fixes expandTilde in the shared runtime-homes resolver, found while adding
that: it hardcoded os.homedir() and ignored the opts.home every caller threads,
so EVERY runtime's tilde-valued env override (claude, antigravity, windsurf, pi)
silently resolved against the real home. That is a correctness bug and a
test-escape hazard — a sandboxed test asserting on a tilde override reached the
developer's actual home directory. Now threaded through every branch; behavior
with no injected home is unchanged.

Adds the emitted-drift ack fragment for the 58 pi paths whose emitted location
moved with the rename. The provenance rules satisfy the totality gate; the
differential gate needs the ack because the hook sources are byte-unchanged —
only the installer's target directory moved. The two hook files this branch
genuinely edits stay attributed and are not double-acked.

Note on piConfig.configDir: it is read from pi's OWN installed package.json
(getPackageDir walks up from pi's __dirname), alongside piConfig.name — a
white-label setting for a redistributed pi fork, not a per-project user setting.
Documented accordingly rather than treated as an unsupported override.

Verified on the remote runner.

* fix(#3023): reject blank env overrides, pin adapter/descriptor parity

Three review findings, all fixed.

A whitespace-only config-dir override was accepted verbatim: the guard was
`if (val)`, falsy only for the empty string, so PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR='   '
resolved to a literal three-space directory name instead of falling back to the
descriptor default. Fixed across every env-consuming branch — dot-home,
dot-home-nested, all three xdg steps, and generic-agents-root — not just pi's.
Non-blank values are still never trimmed, so '~/My Agent Dir' keeps working.

pi/gsd.cjs's probe list and the descriptor were two independent sources of truth
for the bundle directory name; a future rename would have desynced them silently
and left every pi hook quiet with no error. The probe list stays deliberate — it
must resolve in a dev checkout and a half-upgraded tree, where the registry's
answer would be wrong — so this adds the parity assertion the repo's
generative-fix-divergence rule calls for: the descriptor value must be the FIRST
candidate, and the default must remain present.

Changeset body rewritten to cover the two later user-facing fixes it had not
caught up with.

Verified on the remote runner.

* chore(#3023): backfill changeset PR number

* fix(#3023): anchor injection-scan patterns and fix a macOS detection hole

CI's security job flagged CONTEXT.md:124 — pre-existing prose reading 'not the
same fact as a genuinely empty or absent one'. The match was the 'act as a'
INSIDE 'f-act as a': the pattern had no left word boundary, so any word ending
in act tripped it (fact, impact, contract, artifact, interact, redact,
abstract). My four-line CONTEXT.md edit dragged the latent false positive into
this PR because the scan is diff-scoped by file but reads whole files. Anchored
with (^|[^[:alnum:]]) rather than rewording maintainer-owned prose, which would
have left the class alive for the next PR touching any file saying 'fact as a'.

Auditing the rest of the list for the same class surfaced a real detection hole:
the eval/exec/Function patterns matched a quote via \x27, a GNU-grep-only hex
escape. BSD/macOS grep reads it as four literal characters, so single-quoted
eval('...')/exec('...') payloads were NEVER detected there while passing on
GNU-grep CI. Replaced with a literal apostrophe class.

Boundaries were added only where a real word-suffix collision exists; exec,
jailbreak, developer mode and the role-manipulation family were audited and
deliberately left unanchored. 22 new cases cover both directions — the false
positives now scan clean, and every real payload still fires, including the
quote/punctuation/start-of-line boundary forms.

Also builds this branch's injection test fixture at runtime instead of carrying
the literal phrase, so the payload keeps its teeth without tripping the scan.

Verified on the remote runner.

2bead6ca1d feat(#3149): add dedicated init.debug entry point for /gsd:debug
/gsd:debug was one of the last workflows with no cmdInit* of its own: its
Step 0 made three separate round-trips (state.load, resolve-model
gsd-debugger, config-get workflow.tdd_mode) to assemble one context. Because
no debug-scoped fact was computed at any entry point, ADR-1671 admission gate
(2) could never be satisfied for debug — an applicability atom naming such a
fact would evaluate FALSE forever and silently exclude its section.

Adds cmdInitDebug (init.debug), registers it in the init router and the
command-alias table, and collapses debug.md Step 0 to one call. Every field
resolves through the same primitive the call it replaces used: loadConfig for
commit_docs, withProjectRoot for response_language (#2402), planningPaths for
debug_dir, resolveModelInternal for debugger_model, and the existing
Boolean(workflow.tdd_mode) idiom for tdd_mode.

PlanningPaths gains a debug field so state.load and init.debug share ONE
debug-directory expression rather than two kept in sync by hand. state.load
keeps emitting debug_dir: it is a shipped query surface with its own test
anchor, so narrowing it would break unseen consumers for no gain.

No WHEN_VOCABULARY atom and no gsd:section marker: gate (1), a consuming
section of at least 400 bytes, belongs to the change that adds the section.

Closes #3149

4b66bf4560 fix(#3086): apply #2667 .cmd-shim gate to deps.spawn + surface errorCode in review lanes (#3142)
* fix(#3086): apply #2667 .cmd-shim gate to deps.spawn + surface errorCode in review lanes

deps.spawn used shell:false with a bare binary name — on Windows, npm-installed
CLIs (gemini, codex, etc.) are .cmd shims that CreateProcess cannot start,
producing ENOENT + empty stderr. The review path then wrote an empty err file
and emitted a generic 'failed or returned empty output' stub.

Two fixes:
1. deps.spawn: detect .cmd/.bat on win32 and mediate through cmd.exe /d /s /c
   (same gate as runWithTimeout #2667, same explicit argv array).
2. runSpawnLane: surface errorCode (ENOENT, ETIMEDOUT) in the err file so the
   stub explains WHY the lane produced nothing.

* fix(#3079: query commit no longer resurrects deleted phase branches via silent switch

git checkout -b both created AND switched HEAD, so when branching_strategy:
'phase' deletes its branch on merge, a later query commit silently
recreated it and moved HEAD there. The commit landed on the wrong branch.

Fix: replace checkout -b with git rev-parse --verify + git branch (create-
only, no switch). The commit always lands on the current branch. Callers
that want to be on the phase branch use execute-phase's handle_branching.

parseActivityTimestamp returned null for both absent AND present-but-unusable
last_activity values, silently suppressing the idle-stranded recommendation.
Per ADR-1411's amendment (corrupt is not absent), the fallback stays but a
diagnostic is now emitted via the warnUnusableInput seam.

- Added LAST_ACTIVITY_UNPARSEABLE to UNUSABLE_REASON enum + prose
- Wired warnUnusableInput into detectSignals when lastActivityRaw is truthy

a731a45cd6 fix(#3116): strip trailing CR per line in parseFrontmatterStrict for CRLF WINDOWS.md (#3137)
* test(#3116): failing-first — parseLedger throws on CRLF WINDOWS.md

On repos with core.autocrlf=true (Windows default), .planning/WINDOWS.md
is checked out CRLF. The \n--- close-fence scan leaves the last frontmatter
line's CR attached, and the key:value regex's . doesn't match CR, so the
parser throws WINDOWS_LEDGER_MALFORMED on the last key.

* fix(#3116): strip trailing CR per line in parseFrontmatterStrict

The \n--- close-fence scan lands on the LF of the last frontmatter line's
CRLF, so yamlBody ends with a bare \r. split(/\r?\n/) strips CR from
interior lines but the last line's \r survives. The key:value regex fails
because . doesn't match CR.

Fix: strip \r per line (rawLine.replace(/\r$/, '')) rather than normalizing
raw — the writer round-trips raw byte-exact.

0e6fa2e2cf enhance(#3118): close the dead injectables and the shell projection follow-on — Wave 4 (#3124)
* test(#3118): failing-first coverage for the dead injectables and the shell projection

Adds the counter-tests Wave 4 closes against, before any fix:

- antigravityWatermark had zero test references. The four existing tests
  that look like watermark coverage hand the fallback a literal mark and
  never call the producer, so nothing pinned whether a real run's mark is
  correct. Covers all six branches plus the non-object cache classes.
- Pins the fail-open: a transcript read that throws reports lines:0,
  indistinguishable from a genuinely empty transcript, and the consumer
  then replays a previous run's review as this run's.
- Pins the export-line escaping across the repair, persist and win32 bash
  lanes, including the parity assertion that they must not diverge.
- sliceCurrentPositionSection: empty-vs-absent, fenced heading, second
  occurrence, H3, CRLF.
- Proves deps.progressProvider is inert by supplying a throwing stub to
  all ten transition intents.

Verification through the remote runner only.

Refs #3118

* fix(#3118): distinguish an unreadable transcript from an empty one

antigravityWatermark's final read can throw on a transcript that
indisputably exists. It returned lines:0, which is the same value a
genuinely empty transcript produces, so the caller could not tell the
two apart.

antigravityTranscriptFallback derives its skip from that count. A mark
of {convId:'c1', lines:0} for a conversation that pre-dates the run
makes it skip nothing and return the last PLANNER_RESPONSE in a
transcript written before this run started — a previous review
presented as this one's, which is exactly what the function's own
'never stale' docstring promises cannot happen.

The unreadable case now sets unreadable:true and the fallback declines
for a same-conv-id unreadable mark. An absent or empty transcript is
untouched: those genuinely have zero prior lines.

* fix(#3118): escape the export line for the file it lands in, not the echo

Three lanes emit export PATH="<dir>:$PATH". repair escaped it with
escapePosixDoubleQuoted; persist and the win32 Git Bash lane escaped it
with escapeSingleQuotedShellLiteral instead.

The single-quoting is correct for the echo, so nothing runs when the
user pastes the command. But the bytes appended to ~/.bashrc are the
export line itself, and inside double quotes in an rc file a $(...) or
a backtick in the directory name is command substitution that runs on
every new shell. Those characters are legal in a path on both POSIX and
Windows, so the path was reachable.

projectPathExportLine is now the single source of that line and escapes
for its final rc-file context; each lane still applies its own transport
escaping on top. fish keeps the single-quote escaper — its value really
does stay single-quoted.

The cmd.exe lane interpolated into a cmd double-quoted string with no
cmd-level escaping, so a quote closed the region and &cmd& ran. A quote
is reserved on Windows and cannot appear in a real path, so there is no
correct command to suggest: the win32 lanes now fail closed for one.

Metacharacter-free paths render byte-identically on every lane.

* fix(#3118): drop a stray carriage return and a deps field nobody reads

locateCurrentPosition subtracted a fixed one byte to exclude the newline
before the next heading, which assumes LF. On a CRLF document the slice
kept an unpaired trailing carriage return. It now walks back over the
newline and over a preceding carriage return if there is one.

StateTransitionDeps also required a progressProvider that 33 sites
supplied and no site ever called. A required field nothing reads widens
the module's interface without changing its implementation, which is the
shape epic #3051 cites as its reason for refusing blanket injection.
Removed along with the ProgressRecord alias that existed only as its
return type; state-document.cts's unrelated interface of the same name
is untouched.

* fix(#3118): stop an empty span duplicating bytes, and name the empty results

Three findings from the isolated review pass.

locateCurrentPosition could return end < start when the section was
empty and the next heading followed with no blank line between. Every
mutator splices with slice(0,start) + body + slice(end), so an inverted
span duplicated the region between them — a blank line silently
inserted into STATE.md on every transition, two bytes on CRLF. The span
is now clamped, and an empty section is a zero-length span, which is
what it always meant.

The win32 fail-closed path left the installer printing 'Add it with one
of:' with nothing under it. An empty shellActions folded two different
facts together, so projectPathActionProjection now carries a frozen
PATH_ACTION_REASON and the installer branches on it. Two empty results
with different causes staying distinguishable is the subject of the
epic this belongs to.

fish_add_path parses a leading dash as an option, so a directory named
-v printed 'No paths to add' instead of being added. Verified against
fish 4.8.1: the end-of-options separator fixes it.

Replaces the console-prose test the second fix first arrived with — a
regex over captured stdout is what CONTRIBUTING prohibits, and the
typed reason is the surface it asks for instead.

* fix(#3118): escape TOML control characters, and stop a test name overstating

Five findings from the two review axes.

escapeTomlDoubleQuotedString escaped only backslash and quote. TOML
basic strings also require U+0000-U+0008, U+000A-U+001F and U+007F to be
escaped, so a value carrying a raw newline or NUL wrote a config.toml no
parser accepts — rejecting the whole file, not just that value. Four of
its call sites write real config. Tab stays raw; the grammar exempts it.

The byte-identity test claimed every lane was unchanged for an ordinary
path, which is false: fish now takes the end-of-options separator on
every path, not only hostile ones. Renamed, and the one intended delta
now has its own named test instead of hiding inside a claim that read
as broader than it was.

Also: exact-equality assertions in place of substring checks that could
pass on a subtly wrong escape, newline and null-byte cases for all five
quoting primitives, and a temp dir registered with t.after so it is
removed when an assertion fails.

* docs(#3118): add the changeset fragments

* fix(#3118): degrade instead of throwing on a null conversation cache

A cache file whose whole content is the literal null — what a truncated
or zeroed write leaves behind — made both antigravityWatermark and
antigravityTranscriptFallback throw. JSON.parse('null') succeeds, so the
try/catch wrapping the parse never fired, and resolveConvId then called
hasOwnProperty on null.

Both functions advertise the opposite; the existing test next to them is
named 'a missing cache or transcript degrades to empty, never throws'.
Parsing successfully is not the same fact as the payload being usable,
and a guard that only wraps the parse cannot tell them apart.

resolveConvId is now total for any non-object input, so one guard covers
both callers. Caught by the null case in this wave's own cache matrix.

* test(#3118): correct a stale fish expectation and a parity comparison

The pre-existing 'POSIX persist mode escapes single quotes' test pinned
fish_add_path without the end-of-options separator this wave adds, so it
asserted behavior that is no longer correct. A repo-wide scan found one
such hardcoded expectation; every other site derives its expectation
from the projection.

The new parity test compared the token from a POSIX path against the
win32 lane, which posix-normalizes its input first — two different
inputs, so the tokens differed for a reason that had nothing to do with
the parity it claims to check. It now derives the win32 expectation from
the same input the lane receives.

* docs(#3118): reword a comment the injection scanner reads as an instruction

The scanner pattern act\s+as\s+(?:a|an|the)\s+ carries no word
boundary, so 'the same fact as the payload' matched on the tail of
'fact'. Reworded per the documented remedy for this collision.

The missing boundary is a scanner defect rather than a prose problem —
any contributor writing 'fact as the' trips it — but the pattern is
gate plumbing, which the sibling epic owns, so it is surfaced rather
than changed here.

* fix(#2784): make the negation scan single-pass and index it correctly

Three defects in the negation suppression added by #3127, all in one
block, none of which had a test.

The pair scan was verbs.some(nouns.some(...)) with a slice and a split
per pair, so it grew cubically with clause length: 1.1ms before that PR
and 8462ms after, on 800 verb+noun pairs in one clause. api-coverage's
property test generates documents large enough to reach the runner's
600s file cap, which is why it hangs as 'fail 0, cancelled 1' rather
than failing an assertion. Every (verb, noun) window is a subset of the
single widest one, so one scan of that window answers the same question
in a linear pass. Verified equivalent against the old predicate over
20,000 generated clauses.

Both checks also subtracted clause.start from offsets that collectTerm-
Matches already returns clause-local. The first clause on a line has
start 0 so it worked there and nowhere else: later clauses went
negative, and slice reads a negative index from the end, so suppression
silently examined unrelated text.

The comment claimed 'without any API integration' was suppressed. It is
not — the qualifier sits outside the two-word lookback and the noun
precedes the verb. Widening the window would trade a false positive
that costs one declaration line for a false negative that slips a real
integration past a blocking gate, so the behavior stands and the
comment now says so. Pinned by a test.

The qualifier sets were also rebuilt for every line of every document.

* fix(#2784): suppress detectApiIntegration on negated prose clauses

The compound verb+noun rule had no negation awareness. A clause like "This
phase integrates no external API" matched verb=integrates + noun=API and
fired a false positive, halting the blocking verify:pre gate and forcing a
coverage matrix for a non-existent API.

Added clause-local negation suppression: if the clause contains an
unambiguous negation qualifier (no, not, without, zero, neither, nor,
none, and common contractions), the pair is suppressed. True positives
("integrate the Stripe API") are unaffected. The human override (COVERAGE.md
"no integration" declaration) remains valid.

A phase split into sub-phases (parent kept as shared context, zero plans
by design) was permanently stuck as 'researched' because the roadmap-
checkbox override at line 2266 required completion.phase_complete (derived
from plan/summary counts), which is always false for zero-plan phases.
The parent was permanently eligible for current-phase selection and
re-planning recommendations.

The override now fires when roadmapComplete AND planCount === 0 (the
split-parent shape), treating it as complete regardless of the plan-count
derivation. A zero-plan phase whose checkbox is still unchecked stays
in-progress (researched). Ordinary phases with plans are unchanged.

* fix(#3021): recognize worktree-wf_* branch namespace in all guards

The Claude-orchestration Workflow backend (#1143) creates per-plan
worktrees on branches named worktree-wf_<runid>-<n>. Four independent
copies of the agent branch allow-list regex (^(worktree-)?agent-...) never
learned this namespace:
- hooks/gsd-worktree-path-guard.js:176 — FAILED OPEN (process.exit(0)),
  silently disabling path containment for exactly the concurrent dispatch
  mode where cross-worktree writes are most likely
- src/worktree-safety.cts:21 — silently dropped cleanup-wave manifest
  entries
- agents/gsd-executor.md:503 — FATAL halt on branch check
- gsd-core/references/worktree-branch-check.md:33 — same FATAL halt

Extended all four to ^((worktree-)?agent-|worktree-wf_)[A-Za-z0-9._/-]+$.
The path guard now correctly blocks cross-worktree writes for Workflow-
backend branches instead of no-op'ing.

* fix(#3020): verify graphify tool identity before reporting compatibility

checkGraphifyVersion ran 'graphify --version' on PATH and trusted any
plausible version string — a foreign binary named 'graphify' that happened
to print a version would silently report compatible:true with no warning.
Downstream graphify work would then proceed against the wrong tool and fail
later in ways that looked like GSD defects.

After getting a version from the binary, verify the graphifyy Python package
via importlib.metadata. If the package cannot be confirmed, emit a warning
naming the mismatch regardless of version-range compatibility. The
compatible flag is now correctly false for unverified tools (it was
previously read by nobody — the warning is what surfaces).

* fix(#3017): scope state write's disk scan to stored milestone

buildStateFrontmatter called getMilestonePhaseFilter(cwd) WITHOUT the
stored milestone version, so it auto-derived from ROADMAP.md — and when
getMilestoneInfo mis-bound (the stored milestone had no matching non-✅
heading), it picked a confidently-wrong milestone and clobbered the stored
value + rewrote progress with whole-project counts on every state.* write.

Pass the stored milestone from STATE.md frontmatter through to
buildStateFrontmatter and use it as the explicit versionOverride for
getMilestonePhaseFilter. When the stored milestone is available, the filter
scopes to it instead of auto-deriving.

1e844b942c fix(#3103): only "no such process" means the owner is dead
Review found the previous commit fixed the wrong cliff. process.kill accepts a
pid up to 2147483647 and throws a TypeError above it, so 2147483648 — an
ordinary finite number — sailed past the finite check, threw, and was
classified dead. Measured here: 2147483646 and 2147483647 raise ESRCH,
2147483648 and above raise ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE. The digit-length boundary the
last commit pinned was a different, earlier gate, and its tests implied it was
the meaningful one.

The liveness helper now treats only ESRCH as dead. EPERM, a type error from an
out-of-range pid, an error with no code at all — every outcome it does not
recognise returns alive, because the value feeds a forced worktree removal and
an unrecognised failure must never read as permission to delete. Against a
build with the old catch, a lock holding 2147483648 reaps the worktree; with
this one it is skipped and the directory survives.

The finite check stays. It no longer carries the safety, but it still names
garbage input accurately rather than reporting it as a live owner, and its
comment now says that so it is not removed as redundant.

The freshness verdict is split. An unreadable lock mtime and a genuinely recent
lock both reported lock_too_fresh, which tells an operator to wait when waiting
cannot help — the same conflation this module already separated for parse
failures. The unreadable case is now lock_age_unknown. Only this module and its
tests read these strings; no workflow or command consumes them.

The dependency spread in the prune path is kept as it is, with a test that
kills it. A caller-supplied porcelain parser displacing the default is the
intended seam, not an accident: the parser is a declared member of the
dependency type and the planner already prefers an injected one, so the
hard-coded key restates the same default rather than guarding against
override. Previously nothing exercised that line at all.

573d39ea60 fix(#3103): refuse to reap on a PID the parse could not represent
A lock file whose PID is a digit string longer than 308 characters parses to
Infinity, not NaN. The default liveness helper then calls process.kill with it,
which throws a TypeError rather than an errno error, and that helper's catch
only recognises EPERM — so it returns false, meaning "the owner is dead", and
the worktree becomes eligible to be removed.

The reaper already fails closed for this exact situation. It wraps the liveness
call in a catch that sets alive and does not reap, with a comment saying
liveness could not be determined. That protection never fires here, because the
inner catch swallowed the error first and answered confidently instead of
admitting it did not know. A guard that cannot verify safety reporting success
is the defect this whole epic is named for, and it was sitting inside the one
function in the tree that deletes things.

The guard deleted earlier on this branch tested for NaN. That test really was
dead — a digits-only capture cannot parseInt to NaN — but the reachable failure
is non-finite, so removing it without correcting the predicate left the hole
open. The check is now for a finite value, and a malformed PID reports the same
lock_owner_unknown skip as an unparseable one, since both mean the same thing:
the owner is unknown, so nothing is removed.

Measured, not assumed: 308 nines still parse finite, 309 are Infinity. All
three of that boundary are covered, along with a 400-digit case that asserts
the worktree is still on disk afterwards — the consequence, not just the
verdict. Against a build with the guard removed, that case reports
pid_dead_and_merged and the worktree is gone.

The liveness helper's own catch still maps every non-EPERM error to "dead". The
fix belongs where the value stops being trustworthy rather than at the far end
of it, but that helper is worth revisiting on its own terms.

c2d5b528e5 refactor(#3103): give the reap and worktree-info paths the seam their callers already have
Twenty-two branches in the orphan-reaping path are unreachable from the test
suite, and the reason is not that they are hard to reach — it is that nothing
can reach them. The reaper already accepts an injectable dependency bag, but
every test drives real git and injects only the clock and the liveness probe,
so each fail-closed return inside it has never executed under test.

The two entry points above it took no dependencies at all, so a test could not
drive them even if it wanted to. Both now accept the same bag and thread it
down, with stdout and stderr writers defaulting to the process streams. The
worktree-info probe in the base-branch resolver called its git seam directly
while a sibling function in the same file already modelled the injectable
form; it now follows that sibling rather than inventing a second convention.

Every parameter defaults to today's real implementation, so no existing caller
changes behavior. This is a testability seam, not a redesign.

Two guards are removed as genuinely dead, each excluded by a check a few lines
above it. A NaN test on a value captured by a digits-only pattern cannot fire,
because parseInt of digits is never NaN. An emptiness test on a capture group
that matched one-or-more non-space characters cannot fire either. Each site
keeps a one-line note naming the guard that excludes it, so neither gets
restored by a future reader.

A third guard was proposed for deletion on the same grounds and is NOT removed,
because the claim was wrong. The local-branch fallback returns null when git
prints output that is non-empty but names neither branch — the emptiness check
above it only catches the empty string, so a single newline reaches the
fallback with both flags false. Deleting it would have changed which branch the
resolver reports. It stays, and it gets a test.

* test(#2978): roadmap validate must perform structural validation

Failing-first: roadmap validate returns {"warnings":[]} (exit 0) for every
input — empty file, garbage, missing file, truncated frontmatter — because it
performs no structural validation and its one opt-in check (W021 milestone-
prefix) is off by default. Six cases: empty, garbage, missing, truncated
frontmatter, well-formed (no false positive), BOM-prefixed (not corruption).

* fix(#2978): add structural validation to roadmap validate

roadmap validate returned {"warnings":[]} (exit 0) for every input — empty
file, garbage, missing file, truncated frontmatter — because it performed no
structural validation and its one opt-in check (W021 milestone-prefix) is
off by default. A verb named validate that cannot produce a negative result
provides false assurance.

Add four structural checks, each producing a coded warning {code, message}:
- V001: file missing/unreadable (was silent success)
- V002: empty/whitespace-only
- V003: malformed frontmatter (unterminated --- fence; BOM-tolerant per #3057)
- V004: no recognizable phase entries (no ### Phase N: heading)
Keep the existing W021 milestone-prefix check as-is. Exit non-zero via
ExitError(1) when warnings are non-empty, per the documented contract
('exits non-zero on any error or warning'). Well-formed roadmaps (incl.
BOM-prefixed, CRLF) still validate cleanly with warnings: [] and exit 0.

* test(#2978): update W021 tests for non-zero exit on warnings

Two existing W021 tests asserted roadmap validate exits 0 even with warnings
('roadmap validate should exit 0 even with warnings') — that was the bug.
#2978 made validate exit non-zero on any warning (per its documented
contract). Updated both mismatch-case tests to expect success===false and
parse the JSON output from the failure path (stdout is written before the
ExitError throw).

b0f1722662 fix(#2969): ratchet completed_plans up for gap-closure plans under deriveProgressKeys (#3091)
* test(#2969): completed_plans must ratchet up for gap-closure plans

Failing-first regression: when deriveProgressKeys=true (cmdStatePlannedPhase's
opt-in), applyStatePreservation restores completed_plans to its pre-growth
curated value, so gap-closure plans that complete never increment it —
STATE.md shows completed_plans < total_plans forever even though every PLAN
has a SUMMARY. Three cases: the ratchet-up (derived 54 > curated 50), the
ratchet-down protection (derived 47 < curated 50 keeps curated), and the
body-only write protection (no deriveProgressKeys → wholesale restore).

The existing #2440 test covers the case where derived < curated (ratchet
holds); this adds the missing case where derived > curated (ratchet must
release upward).

* fix(#2969): ratchet completed_plans/plases up under deriveProgressKeys

applyStatePreservation's deriveProgressKeys path (cmdStatePlannedPhase's
opt-in) let total_plans/total_phases take the derived value but restored
completed_plans/completed_phases to their pre-growth curated value — so
gap-closure plans that completed after the plan count grew never incremented
them, leaving STATE.md at completed_plans < total_plans forever (every PLAN
had a SUMMARY).

Extend the deriveProgressKeys exclusion to also let completed_plans and
completed_phases take the derived value, but ratcheted UP only (never derive
downward past curated) — preserving the #3242 curated-progress protection
for cases unrelated to plan-count growth (e.g. a deleted SUMMARY). percent
takes the derived value (the resync already recomputed it from disk counts).

Scoped to deriveProgressKeys (plan-phase only); body-only writes
(state.update/patch without the flag) keep the full #3242 wholesale restore.

* fix(#2969): also take derived percent under deriveProgressKeys

Isolated-review blocker: percent fell into the else branch and was
overwritten with the stale curated value, contradicting the inline comment
and leaving STATE.md incoherent (e.g. completed_plans:54/total_plans:54 at
percent:93). Skip percent in the ratchet loop so the derived (resync-
recomputed) value survives.

53ea8e0664 fix(#3057): make a guard's failure distinguishable from its benign result — Wave 1 (#3088)
* fix(#3057): refuse the write when the duplicate scan cannot complete

writeManifest documents itself as a fail-closed duplicate guard: if any
existing manifest shares plan_id with a different, non-terminal job_id it must
refuse, because dispatching again would duplicate the external job.

It could not honour that. The scan reads every sibling manifest looking for the
duplicate, and an unreadable or unparseable sibling was `continue`d past. If
the corrupt file was the one holding the live duplicate, the scan found nothing
and a duplicate external job dispatched.

The asymmetry is what gives it away: a malformed TARGET refused with
malformed_existing because clobbering is unacceptable, while a malformed
SIBLING was skipped — yet siblings are the only thing the duplicate check
reads.

Adds a scan_incomplete verdict that refuses and names the offending file, so an
operator can quarantine or repair it. Fail-closed alone would let one stale
corrupt manifest wedge every dispatch for that planning dir permanently; naming
the file is what makes refusing survivable. malformed_existing is untouched, so
the target/sibling distinction stays visible. The docstring is updated — it
previously stated a rule the function did not keep.

memFs() gains an optional failReads map so these branches are reachable at all;
they had zero coverage because the fake could not express a per-file read
fault. The signature is additive and every existing caller is unchanged.

The regression is proved by a pair, not a single test. A control writes a
readable sibling holding a genuine non-terminal duplicate and asserts
duplicate_plan_id, establishing the scenario is real; the regression then makes
that same path unreadable and asserts scan_incomplete. A first draft of this
test used a corrupt-JSON fixture containing no plan_id at all while its comment
claimed otherwise — it duplicated the unparseable-sibling case and proved
nothing, which is the defect class this phase exists to remove.

* fix(#3057): make a guard's failure distinguishable from its benign result

Wave 1 of the negative-space backfill: the branches where a guard that could
not verify something reported the same value it reports when everything is
fine. That indistinguishability is the defect; every fix here makes the two
states tellable apart, and every test proves it with a pair — one for the
failure, one for the benign case. A single test cannot establish that two
states are distinguishable, which is the whole property being fixed.

state.cts phaseInventoryProvider returned null for both a real disk-scan
failure and a genuinely empty phases dir, so `state rebuild` could report
success while phase-table reconciliation never ran. It now returns a
discriminated result and the CLI surfaces phase_inventory_scan_failed plus a
reason. The reason field turned out never to have been wired into the emitted
JSON at all — it existed only as an internal variable — so a test could only
assert on the operator-facing note. It is a real field now.

state.cts treated an unreadable lock body the same as an empty one, applying
the 1-second stealable floor. A lock we cannot read is not a lock we know is
stale; an unreadable body is now held to the deadman ceiling like a live
holder.

verification.cts findStaleVerificationSummary returned null on any fs, scan or
clock failure — meaning "not stale". It now returns a discriminated
StaleCheckResult and the caller records that the check was indeterminate.

git-base-branch resolveBaseBranch returned 'main' both when no candidate branch
existed and when every git tier timed out. A diagnostics variant now reports
whether the answer was verified, and the CLI writes an unverified-fallback note
to stderr. The stdout contract five workflows parse is untouched.

worktree-safety snapshotWorktreeInventory left exists:true when statSync threw,
so a guard that could not check reported the worktree present; exists is now
tri-state and a stat failure surfaces as an 'unverified' finding.
planWorktreePrune reported 'no_worktrees' for a parse failure, which is not the
same as an empty list — and it drives a prune. It now reports 'parse_failed'.

Fixing the inventory change exposed a second fail-open in verify.cts: the
validate-health consumer silently dropped findings whose kind it did not
recognise, so the new kind would have vanished. That is closed too — worth
noting that the survey enumerated producers of degraded verdicts, not consumers
that discard them.

worktree-base-ref and state-transition gain the distinguishing signal without
changing what they do: headAbsenceVerified, and a phase-inventory scan meta.
Whether those guards should ACT differently is a product question this change
does not answer, and both are flagged rather than quietly settled.

rescueSummaryArtifacts is left alone: rescuing on an uncertain cat-file is
deliberate per #2556. It now has tests proving it, and a recorded negative
finding — git cat-file -e returns 128 for both "absent from HEAD" and a fatal
error, so "uncertain" and "certain-and-fine" are not separable at the git
level.

* test(#3057): assert typed values, not rendered text

Ten assertions in the rebuild CLI suite matched substrings of produced output —
STATE.md body fields, a markdown table row, an audit-log heading, and JSON keys
read as text. CONTRIBUTING prohibits that: if the code under test produces
text, the test asserts on its structured surface instead.

No production surface had to be built. Every one already existed and was
already compiled into bin/lib: stateExtractField for body fields,
parseMarkdownTable for the phase table, collectSection for the audit-log
section, and result.data.log — already a typed RebuildLogEntry[]. The tests
were matching rendered text sitting next to the structured data.

One of those assertions was passing for the wrong reason. `stdout.includes
('rebuilt')` matched the JSON KEY name, not a value: the dry-run path emits
`mutated` and the real path emits `rebuilt`, so it would have passed whether
the value was true or false. It now asserts the value.

external-job's refusal already had to name the offending file — that naming is
why the fail-closed variant is survivable rather than a permanent wedge — but
the tests proved it by substring of a prose message. The failure result now
carries offendingPath as its own field and the tests assert it by value. The
human message is unchanged; operators read it.

Array membership is left alone. `phaseIds.includes('99')` and
`result.updated.includes('Completed Phases')` are membership checks on real
arrays, not text matching, and converting them would weaken nothing and clarify
nothing.

* test(#3057): execute acquireStateLock instead of grepping its source

The non-EEXIST lock test asserted on the TEXT of the built .cjs and never
called acquireStateLock. It carried an allow-test-rule: architectural-invariant
exemption to permit that. A source grep proves a literal is present in a file,
not that the behaviour works — it is weaker than a liveness test, which at
least runs the code, and it was the only coverage the fatal-errno path had.

Replaced with tests that inject the errno through fs and assert what actually
happens: a fatal EACCES propagates out of acquireStateLock with zero backoff
sleeps, while EAGAIN/EINTR/EINVAL/EIO/ENOENT/ESTALE/EPERM/EBUSY retry once and
succeed. The exemption is removed and its allowlist entry with it.

One old assertion is deliberately not carried over: it checked the retryable
errnos were expressed as a Set rather than an inline literal. That is a shape
check with no runtime signature; the behavioural tests fail if the code reverts
to the old inline check, which is the regression it was really guarding.

The #3057 lock-body tests move into that same file rather than a new one, which
is what lint-test-file-count asks for and puts every acquireStateLock test in
one place.

* fix(#3057): surface an indeterminate staleness check to its callers

An isolated review caught an inconsistency inside this wave. Two of the three
"add the distinguishing signal" fixes wire through to something a user sees:
git base-branch writes an unverified-fallback diagnostic to stderr, and an
unverifiable worktree surfaces as a W020 finding. The third set
staleCheckIndeterminate on readVerificationStatus's result and nothing read it.

A signal nobody consumes leaves the fail-open exactly as silent as before: the
staleness check could fail and the operator saw precisely what they would see
if the answer were genuinely "not stale". That is the defect this issue exists
to remove, so it is not defensible as scaffolding when its two siblings in the
same change already wire through.

All five callers now surface it, each through the channel it already had rather
than a mechanism imposed uniformly: phase complete adds it to its existing
warnings array and, on the blocked path, as an additive note on the error text;
init and roadmap carry it as a field on output they already emit; the UAT
report carries it without ever gating passed/blockers; workstream inventory
takes an injectable writeDiagnostic mirroring the git base-branch idiom,
because its return shape had nowhere to hang a per-phase field without
rippling the builder's types.

The routing decision is unchanged everywhere. What changes is only that a
caller and an operator can now tell a failed check from a completed one.

That diagnostic carries structured meta rather than being asserted by regex —
the default still writes only the human message to stderr, but tests assert
phaseDir and reason by value. Two earlier assertions in this branch were
converted the same way; this was the last raw-text assertion left.

Also records a scope correction: the completePhaseCore guards now compare
stateReplaceField's result to the body instead of testing truthiness, so a
field whose substitution produced identical text no longer reports as updated.
That is a real behaviour fix, not the signal-only change this file was
described as carrying, and its tests cover both the changed and unchanged
cases.

* test(#3057): bound two heavy subprocesses for a loaded bench, not an idle one

The remote matrix surfaced three failures unrelated to this branch's changes.
All were bad tests, and a re-run would have hidden every one of them.

The reviewer-flags parse block bounded bash -> node -> a full gsd-tools cold
start at 5 seconds. On a bench running thirty thousand tests in parallel that
is not a hang, it is a busy machine. Raised to 30s, matching the convention
sibling suites already use for script invocations, with a comment saying what
the budget covers so nobody tightens it back. Two further copies of the same
5-second spawn in the same file had the identical defect and are raised too —
they were not in the failure report, but they will be next time.

The fragment-propagation test bounded npm run regen:derived — a full build plus
eight generators, the heaviest subprocess in the suite — at five minutes, and
node22 was killed near the end. The captured output proves it: every generator
had written its files and gen:install-tree had emitted all fifteen runtimes
before the kill. Raised to fifteen minutes.

That failure read as `null !== 0`, which says nothing. status null means killed,
not a non-zero exit, and the two want different responses: one is a timeout to
size correctly, the other is a real build break. The assertion now distinguishes
them and names the signal.

Neither test's assertions were weakened and no retry was added. A retry here
would suppress exactly the signal the timeout exists to produce.

* test(#3057): capture fd 1 through the mock tracker, not a raw reassignment

The phase suite reported zero test results on both lanes while running for five
and a half minutes and exiting 1. No assertion text, no stderr, four events for
the whole file: enqueue, start, dequeue, complete. That shape is not a failing
assertion — it is the runner being unable to read the child at all, because it
parses its event stream from the child's stdout.

The cause was the capture helper reassigning fs.writeSync directly. Proven
rather than assumed: a standalone probe patched fs.writeSync and called
process.stdout.write, and the interception fired only when fd 1 resolved to a
FILE, not when it was a pipe. The remote runner captures the event stream to a
file, so a helper that was invisible against a pipe swallowed the reporter's own
output on the bench. That is also why the two sibling suites wired the same way
in this change pass cleanly — they use the mock tracker, the seam io.test.cjs
established for this exact function.

The helper now uses t.mock.method with an explicit restore after each call, so
teardown belongs to node:test rather than a second hand-rolled implementation,
and the interception cannot outlive the one synchronous call it wraps even if
that call throws. Ten call sites thread the test context through; three test
callbacks gained the parameter they lacked.

The three B3 tests are untouched — same assertions, same fault injection. Only
how the context reaches the helper changed.

* test(#3057): capture phase-complete output from a subprocess, not fd 1

Two attempts to make in-process fd-1 interception safe both failed on the
bench. The suite reported zero test results on either lane while exiting 1 —
four events for the whole file — because the runner parses its event stream
from the child's stdout, and process.stdout.write routes through fs.writeSync
whenever fd 1 resolves to a file, which is how the runner captures. Patching
that seam anywhere in a file can therefore destroy the file's own reporting,
and tightening the window only moved the runtime from 326s to 125s without
recovering a single event.

So the interception is gone rather than tuned. The helper now spawns gsd-tools
as a real subprocess and reads stdout the way the OS already gives it to us,
which is what the rest of the suite does. It asserts the command succeeded
before parsing, so a genuine failure can no longer present as a JSON parse
error.

The two fault-injecting tests could not survive that move as written: a
subprocess cannot see a mock installed in the parent. Instead of reinstating
the interception they now produce the fault on disk — the summary artifact is
created as a dangling symlink, so the staleness check's real statSync throws
inside the child. That is a more honest fixture than a mock in any case, since
it is a condition a user's tree can actually be in. Skipped on Windows, matching
the existing symlink precedent in the write-guard suite.

Three further call sites turned out to depend on parent-process writeFileSync
mocks the subprocess could not see. Those call the CJS function directly, which
is what they always wanted — they never needed stdout at all.

* fix(#3057): one name for one signal, one encoding for one distinction

Standards review found four things this branch introduced, all of them
inconsistencies with itself rather than with the repo.

One upstream bit reached its consumers under three names —
verification_stale_check_indeterminate in two modules, the same value with
"stale" dropped in a third, and stderr only in the fourth. Standardised on the
long name wherever it is a field. The workstream inventory keeps its stderr
channel, since its return shape has nowhere to hang a per-phase field without
rippling the builder's types, but it now says the same word for the same thing.

worktree-safety encoded one three-way distinction two ways in a single file: a
named union for a finding's kind, and boolean|null for an inventory entry's
existence. The second is now a named union too.

Two assertions matched human prose because the blocked and non-blocked
completion paths carried no typed field for the signal. Both now assert typed
values. The first round of this fix added the field but left the regex beside
it, which is the banned pattern sitting next to its own replacement; the second
removed it and added an assertion on the reason enum so nothing was lost.

The remaining two were reasoned away before being fixed, and both reasons were
bad. "No typed surface exists" is the condition CONTRIBUTING says to fix by
adding one — it took three lines. "The file already does this dozens of times"
is not licence to add instance number thirty-one; a convention that violates a
documented rule is debt, not precedent.

Vocabulary differing across DIFFERENT modules is left alone: CONTEXT.md rejects
a single shared result envelope, so per-module shapes are precedented, and a
baseline smell does not outrank a documented standard.

A census of every line this branch adds to a test file now finds no regex or
substring assertion on produced prose: 87 strictEqual, 25 ok (all non-empty or
shape guards), 12 equal, 3 throws (all typed err.code predicates), 3
deepStrictEqual, 2 notStrictEqual.

7203011400 feat(#3072): ship the deferred MCP served catalog (resources + prompts) (#3083)
* test(#3072): add failing-first coverage for the mcp served catalog

55 input-class rows from the phase test matrix, across four suites: the
catalog module over injected readFile/readDir seams, the protocol surface
through handleMessage, the install-vs-catalog parity gate, and fast-check
properties for uri round-trip, traversal refusal, and pagination partition.

src/mcp-catalog.cts lands as a skeleton whose functions throw, so the suites
fail on BEHAVIOR rather than on a missing module. The REASON enum is real so
tests assert typed codes instead of message prose.

Hostile coverage for the one client-controlled path surface (resources/read):
dot-dot and backslash traversal, percent- and double-encoded traversal,
absolute posix and windows paths, file:// scheme, null byte, symlink escape,
unindexed sibling, non-string and empty uri, wrong root segment.

IO faults are injected by monkeypatching the seam, never chmod 0o000 - root
bypasses mode bits, so a permission-based test silently passes with zero
coverage in root CI.

Refs #3072

* feat(#3072): serve the mcp catalog as resources and prompts

gsd-mcp-server now serves GSD's own content alongside its three tools: the
workflow, reference and command tree as MCP resources (resources/list, cursor
paginated, and resources/read over gsd://<segment>/<relpath> uris) and the 71
commands/gsd/*.md as MCP prompts keyed by bare command name. initialize
advertises resources and prompts, and deliberately does not advertise
subscribe or listChanged - the catalog is fixed for a server process lifetime,
so declaring a notification we never send would be a lie a host acts on.

Composition scope is SHARED, not re-declared. shouldCompose lives in
src/mcp-catalog.cts and bin/install.js now imports it instead of carrying its
own regex, so the served catalog and the installed file floor cannot drift on
what gets composed. Proven behavior-preserving across all 2871 tracked paths
plus windows-backslash, absolute and near-miss-prefix cases: zero mismatches.
tests/mcp-catalog-parity.test.cjs asserts served text equals the installer
composition-stage text over the real tree, with anti-vacuity guards requiring
both a marker-bearing workflow and a non-composed file in the comparison set.

Two measurements corrected the literal issue text. Composition is scoped to
gsd-core/workflows/ only, because a reference or command that documents marker
syntax with an unfenced example would otherwise be parsed as carrying a real
marker and have that line lossily dropped. And parity is asserted at the
composition stage rather than against an emitted runtime tree, since install
applies per-runtime path rewrites afterwards and the catalog is host-agnostic,
so byte equality with any one runtime would be false by construction.

resources/read is the one client-controlled path surface and is guarded in two
independent layers: the uri must be an exact key in the prebuilt index, which
defeats every traversal string by construction, and the mapped path is then
re-checked with validatePath so a symlink planted inside a root after indexing
is still refused.

Also fixes a real drift defect found while here: SERVER_VERSION was hardcoded
1.7.0 while the package is at 1.9.1. It now resolves lazily from VERSION or
package.json, reusing the precedent in runtime-artifact-conversion.

Closes #3072

* test(#3072): make the catalog parity gate drive the real installer

Review found the parity gate vacuous: it never imported or spawned
bin/install.js, and recomputed the installer side with the SAME shouldCompose
and composeWorkflow the catalog calls internally. It therefore proved only
that src/mcp-catalog.cts is self-consistent. The old row 52 compared
shouldCompose against a regex literal frozen in the test file rather than
against the installer at all. An inline divergent regex re-added to
bin/install.js - the exact regression ADR-1671 asks this gate to catch - would
have left the suite green.

The gate now spawns a real bin/install.js and compares the composition
DECISION, observed as gsd:section marker survival, against what the catalog
serves for the same files. Marker presence is the right observable because the
installer applies per-runtime path rewrites after composing while the catalog
applies none, so raw byte equality between the two surfaces is false by
construction and must not be asserted.

Sensitivity was proven, not assumed: overlaying the shouldCompose export that
bin/install.js imports so it always returns false makes a real spawned install
leave autonomous.md's markers in place while the catalog still strips them,
and the row 48 assertion diverges.

Anti-vacuity guards are kept and extended - the comparison set must be
non-empty, must contain a workflow that actually carries markers, must contain
a file the predicate declines to compose, and the install must have emitted a
non-zero file count. The marker-documenting reference case has no instance in
the real tree, so it uses an overlay fixture built with the same technique
workflow-fragments-emission.install.test.cjs already uses.

Renamed to .install.test.cjs so it lands in the install suite it now belongs to.

Refs #3072

* test(#3072): retarget the unknown-method assertion off a now-implemented method

tests/gsd-mcp-server.test.cjs used 'resources/read' as its example of an
UNKNOWN JSON-RPC method. The served catalog implements that method, so it now
returns -32602 (no uri supplied) rather than -32601. The remote runner caught
it deterministically on both linux lanes: -32602 !== -32601.

The test's intent is still correct and worth keeping, so it is corrected
rather than deleted or weakened. It now uses 'resources/subscribe', which the
server deliberately does not implement and deliberately does not advertise in
initialize's capabilities, because it never sends the corresponding
notification. That turns the assertion into a real contract - the advertised
capability surface and the implemented method surface agree - instead of an
arbitrary method name a future feature could invalidate the same way.

Swept the rest of the suite for other assertions pinning the newly implemented
methods; this was the only one.

* test(#3072): make the catalog fake fs separator-agnostic for windows

CI caught this on windows-latest (22 and 24): every catalog fixture indexed
ZERO entries, surfaced by the anti-vacuity guards as 'fixture catalog must
actually index resources for this property to mean anything'.

Mechanism: makeFakeFs keyed its dirMap/fileMap on POSIX-joined paths
(${root}/${rel}), while production buildCatalog looks paths up with
path.join, which is backslash-separated on Windows. Every lookup missed,
tryReadDir returned null, and the catalog came back empty.

Production is NOT at fault and is unchanged. The same CI run proves it: on
windows-latest the real-filesystem tests all passed, including 'installer
composition decision matches the served catalog for every file in the real
installed tree' and the row-51 non-vacuity proof against a real spawned
installer. A real Windows fs accepts both separators; the FAKE did not, so the
fake was the unfaithful one and is what changed.

Lookup keys are now normalized unconditionally with .replace(/\\/g,'/') in
readDir and readFile - never path.sep-conditional, never platform-gated. The
row-42/43 injected-fault wrappers got the same treatment, since they compared
raw production paths against POSIX-literal fixtures.

No assertion was weakened, and the anti-vacuity guards that caught this are
untouched - they are the reason this surfaced as a loud failure instead of a
suite that silently asserted nothing on Windows.

2bc53baa03 fix(#2947): preserve preamble phase details when milestone section has none (#3084)
* test(#2947): milestone anchor must prefer heading with Phase details

Row 1 of the test matrix: the failing-first regression test. When the
phase-listing heading (## Phases) is NOT version-bearing but a later
version-bearing progress heading (### v9.0 phase progress) exists,
extractCurrentMilestone latches onto the progress heading and silently drops
the phases (phase_count: 0, exit 0). Five cases: the regression, the
version-bearing control (must keep working), the no-phase-details fallback,
the closed-vs-open preference, and an end-to-end roadmap.analyze check.

Reproduced locally against built lib + confirmed by maintainer triage (trek-e).
The one-word control (## Phases -> ## v9.0 Phases) restores phase_count: 2.

* fix(#2947): preserve preamble phase details when the milestone section has none

Root cause was one layer deeper than the issue title: the anchor selection
(selected = first non-closed version-bearing heading) is fine — the real
drop happens in the preamble strip. When the phase list lives under a
non-version-bearing ## Phases heading (the shipped greenfield template's own
shape) and the selected version-bearing heading is a LATER progress/notes
sub-heading with no ### Phase N: details of its own, the preamble strip
removed every phase-detail heading from the pre-milestone region (intended
to avoid duplication with a Phase Details section that does not exist here)
— silently dropping all phases (phase_count: 0, exit 0, empty stderr).

Fix: only strip preamble ### Phase N: headings when the selected milestone
section (currentSection) actually contains its own phase details. When it
does not, the preamble phases ARE this milestone's phases and must be
preserved. Falls back to today's behavior (strip) whenever the selected
section has phase details, so multi-milestone roadmaps with a dedicated
Phase Details section (#730) are unaffected.

Surgical: one conditional on the existing strip, no signature change, no
change to computeSectionEnd or the #730 Phase Details append. Blast radius
CRITICAL (84 upstream symbols) — the change is gated on currentSection's
content so every existing roadmap that currently resolves phases correctly
keeps doing so byte-identically.

5719efbc6b fix(#2766): scan archived phases and read table-shaped Gaps/deferred entries (#3082)
* fix(#2766): scan archived phases and read table-shaped Gaps/deferred entries

Three silent false negatives in cmdAuditUat and its readers, all failing in
the reassuring (false-negative) direction — a UAT audit whose entire job is
to catch leftover work reporting zero over real work:

1. Archived phases invisible (src/uat.cts cmdAuditUat): on milestone
   completion milestone.cts MOVES phase dirs into
   .planning/milestones/<version>-phases/ (archive-by-default since #1871),
   leaving .planning/phases/ empty or absent. Partial archive → false
   all-clear; full archive → hard error indistinguishable from a broken
   install. Fix: enumerate archived dirs via the canonical
   getArchivedPhaseDirs seam (phase-locator.cts); archived dirs deliberately
   bypass getMilestonePhaseFilter (which scopes to the CURRENT milestone —
   applying it to past-milestone dirs would discard every one and reinstate
   the bug).

2. Table-shaped deferred-items.md yielded zero items (splitGapsEntries
   keyed on bullet openers only; a GFM table row starts with |). Fix: union
   of bullet + numbered + table-row splits.

3. Table-shaped ## Gaps yielded zero items (same bullet-only splitter).
   Fix: same union walker.

The table walker is deliberately NOT routed through parseMarkdownTable
(ADR-2143 §3 — that reads only the first table and treats ragged/headerless
shapes as errors, the wrong contract for a hand-written backstop table
that must surface its rows). New additive archived_milestone field labels
provenance.

Fix authored by issue reporter gavin-ray and verified against the published
tarball; maintainer triage (trek-e) confirmed all three findings. Cherry-
picked onto fresh next after prior PR #2832 closed for staleness; re-verified
under gsd-test + reviews. 21 regression tests including the negative
direction (bullet-only unchanged, status: resolved still suppressed, empty
phases dir still succeeds).

481ac7c71b fix(#2946): run milestone complete unstarted-phase guard independent of STATE (#3081)
* test(#2946): milestone complete unstarted-phase guard fails open on STATE desync

Row 1 of the test matrix: the regression test that fails first. Adds seven
cases to tests/milestone.test.cjs covering the desync, absent, no-file,
--force-override, mismatch-WARNING, fresh-project-noop, and sentinel-skip
behaviors. RED on next: the guard's entire scan is nested inside
`if (stateVersion && stateVersion === version)`, so any STATE.md milestone:
value that does not exactly equal the version argument skips the scan with
no warning — functionally an implicit --force on a one-way-door operation.

* fix(#2946): run milestone complete unstarted-phase guard independent of STATE

The entire ROADMAP phase-directory scan was nested inside
`if (stateVersion && stateVersion === version)`, so any STATE.md milestone:
value that did not exactly string-equal the version argument — a desynced
value, or no milestone: field at all — skipped the scan with no warning,
functionally an implicit --force. The operation the guard fronts is a one-way
door: ROADMAP.md and REQUIREMENTS.md are archived and phase directories are
MOVED into .planning/milestones/<version>-phases/.

The scan was already driven by the version argument through
getMilestonePhaseFilter / extractCurrentMilestone; the STATE match was a
redundant second gate that shadowed and broke it. Decouple: the scan now runs
whenever --force is absent, and a present-but-mismatched STATE milestone:
field emits a WARNING naming both values so the suspicious condition is
visible rather than silent. A fresh project with no Phase headings in the
scoped slice still yields an empty scan (no false positives) — the intent the
STATE-match short-circuit was reaching for, now achieved by the scan itself.

* docs(#2946): document milestone complete --force, --dry-run, and the unstarted-phase guard

The CLI-TOOLS reference signature omitted --force and --dry-run entirely,
and neither the unstarted-phase guard nor its override was documented
anywhere user-facing. Add a flags table and a factual guard description
to the Reference page (CLI-TOOLS.md), and a practical guard note to the
/gsd-complete-milestone How-to (COMMANDS.md) covering what to do when
the guard fires and the new STATE-mismatch WARNING (#2946).

American English per CONTRIBUTING.md language policy.

* fix(#2946): emit STATE-mismatch WARNING as JSON in --json-errors mode

Follow-up to the guard decoupling: a structured caller using --json-errors
parses stderr line-by-line as JSON, so the plain-text WARNING would break
such a parser. Honor getJsonErrorMode() and emit a structured JSON object
({ ok, level, message }) in that mode, plain text otherwise — mirroring
io.cts error()'s JSON shape. Addresses the isolated-review observation
(~45% but credible, since --json-errors is a documented CLI flag).

* fix(#2946): address review — drop JSON-mode WARNING scope creep, tighten test assertions

Standards + spec review findings (code-review two-axis + isolated adversarial):

1. The --json-errors JSON WARNING branch (commit dee719404) was scope creep
   the issue never asked for, AND emitted ok:true for a suspicious-condition
   warning (a category error — a stderr JSON parser keying on ok would treat
   the suspicious state as success), AND its comment falsely claimed to mirror
   io.cts error()'s {ok:false,reason,message} shape. Dropped: the WARNING is
   now plain-text stderr only, matching the existing [gsd-tools] WARNING
   convention (state.cts). The issue asked for 'at minimum warn', not a
   structured JSON surface.

2. The WARNING test asserted on /WARNING/ regex (raw-text matching on stderr
   prose). Tightened to assert on the stable operator-facing tokens — the
   WARNING: marker and both version literals the operator must see — not the
   surrounding formatter prose. Added a paired negative test confirming no
   WARNING is emitted for an absent milestone: field (a missing declaration
   is a normal fresh-project state, not suspicious drift).

* fix(#2946): sanitize STATE milestone value before stderr WARNING interpolation

Security review (minor): stateVersion is read from a user-controlled file
(STATE.md) and is not validated like the CLI version arg. Sanitize before
interpolating into the WARNING — strip ANSI/control chars
(/[\x00-\x1f\x7f]/g -> '?') and truncate to 80 chars — so a corrupted or
hostile STATE.md cannot echo terminal escapes or secret-looking strings
verbatim into a CI log or terminal aggregator (CONTRIBUTING.md security:
secret-looking values in stderr). version is already constrained to
[A-Za-z0-9._-] by ARCHIVE_VERSION_LABEL_RE upstream, so it needs no
sanitization.

* test(#2946): correct stale fixtures that relied on the guard being silently disabled

Four pre-existing tests broke under the #2946 fix because their fixtures
only passed thanks to the bug — the unstarted-phase guard was skipping on
STATE mismatch, so fixtures with missing or non-matching phase directories
slipped through. The tests exercise version-forwarding / version-scoping,
not the guard, so give them legitimate directories:

- milestone.test.cjs #3043: dirs were '103.old'/'104.old'/'108.new' (dot),
  which phaseTokenMatches rejects — renamed to hyphen form. The v3.6 stats
  scoping still yields 1 phase (getMilestonePhaseFilter scopes correctly);
  the guard now sees all three phases as having directories.
- milestone-archive.test.cjs 'returns version in response data': ROADMAP
  listed Phase 1 but no directory was created. Added 01-foundation so the
  scan is satisfied.

Per CONTRIBUTING.md, test-fixture corrections land as their own test:
commit, not bundled into fix: (release hotfix cherry-pick routes by prefix).

* test(#2977): prove extractFrontmatter returns {} on a leading BOM

Failing-first regression for #2977. extractFrontmatter's startsWith('---') byte-0
check fails on any leading byte, so a UTF-8 BOM (Windows PowerShell/Out-File, several
editors) makes every frontmatter field silently disappear. Rows 1-2 assert BOM-prefixed
frontmatter parses identically to no-BOM (incl. BOM+CRLF); Row 3 guards the no-frontmatter
negative space; Row 4 covers STATE/PLAN/SUMMARY/UAT artifact shapes; Row 5 is the control.

* fix(#2977): tolerate a leading UTF-8 BOM before the frontmatter fence

extractFrontmatter's byte-0 startsWith('---') fence check failed on any leading
byte, so a UTF-8 BOM (\uFEFF) — written by default by Windows PowerShell
`>`/Out-File (PS 5.1) and several editors — made every frontmatter field
silently disappear. STATE.md/ROADMAP.md/PLAN.md/UAT.md/SUMMARY.md all lost
phase/status/name with no error, no warning.

Strip a single leading BOM before the fence check. The rest of the function is
unchanged — the BOM is one codepoint, and removing it restores byte-0 alignment.
Negative space preserved: BOM + no-frontmatter and BOM + thematic-break Markdown
both still return {} (no false diagnostic). Scope: BOM only; the generalized
'arbitrary content before the fence' fork (tolerate vs diagnose) is a separate
product-intent decision, surfaced in the PR.

7e1004d89e test(#3056): add the in-process fault-injection adapter, and normalize execGit's shape (#3077)
* refactor(#3071): normalize execGit's call and result shape, unify ExecGitFn

ExecGitFn was declared four times. Three were hand-copies of one signature and
two of those were wrong: they typed exitCode as number|null when _spawnResult
returns `result.status ?? 1` and can never yield null, weakened signal from
NodeJS.Signals to string, and widened error from Error to unknown. Only
verification.cts got it right, via `typeof execGit`.

The root cause was a missing export: SpawnResultOutput was declared without
`export`, so no other module could name the return type of execGit. Three
authors independently hand-copied it instead. Exported now.

Normalizing the type alone would have left the pressure that caused the
divergence, so the function is normalized on both sides. It now ACCEPTS every
call its consumers make — worktree-safety's declaration could not express an
env-carrying call at all — and RETURNS every result code they need: timedOut
moves into _spawnResult, so execGit, execNpm and execTool all carry it and the
one extension that justified a separate type disappears. All four sites are
now `typeof execGit` with nothing left to restate.

timedOut reuses the existing isSpawnTimeout predicate introduced by #3050
rather than re-deriving it. That predicate checks error.code === 'ETIMEDOUT'
only; the signal === 'SIGTERM' conjunct was deliberately dropped there because
Windows does not reliably report SIGTERM and requiring it risks a false
negative. There is no false-positive risk, and a test proves it: an
externally-delivered SIGTERM leaves error null, so it is still not reported as
a timeout.

No dead null-checks surfaced. Every exitCode comparison in the two affected
modules is === 0, !== 0 or === 128 — never a null guard — so the nullable
declaration had never been written against.

* test(#3056): add the in-process fault-injection adapter

Adds tests/helpers/faulty-deps.cjs — makeFaultyGit() and withFaultyFs() — so a
module's error branch can be driven deterministically and its degraded verdict
asserted, instead of a counter-test that only proves the call did not throw.

makeFaultyGit returns a value structurally assignable to `typeof execGit`, so
one stub satisfies all four seams that the #3071 normalization collapsed into
that single shape. A parity test drives the same stub through a real injectable
entry point in each of worktree-safety, git-base-branch, worktree-base-ref and
verification; it fails the moment any of them re-grows its own shape.

Faults are scoped rather than global — by argv predicate and by call ordinal —
because a fault adapter that faults everything looks like it works and proves
nothing, and because verification.cts's two-call error handling needs to fault
the second call only. Invocations are recorded so a test can assert an exact
call count.

The timeout fault carries error.code === 'ETIMEDOUT', and a test asserts the
real isSpawnTimeout predicate matches it, so the fixture cannot drift from the
production definition of a timeout. A companion test asserts an externally
delivered SIGTERM with a null error is still NOT reported as a timeout — the
false-positive guard for #3050's dropped conjunct.

withFaultyFs restores in a finally so a throwing body still restores, patches
only the named methods, and nests without clobbering an outer saved original.
It never uses chmod: that no-ops under root, so the test would pass with zero
coverage in root Docker/CI.

The adapter is in-process via deps only. The Phase 1 process seam is documented
as deliberately not a fault-injection surface — it cannot distinguish an
injected timeout from a genuine bench OOM and would retry it.

* fix(#3071): route the last two timeout checks through the shared predicate

An isolated review found this branch had normalised the timeout verdict but
left two callers still hand-rolling the fragile version of it.

check-command-router's runBoundedShell computed `timedOut: r.signal ===
'SIGTERM'` while the correctly-derived `r.timedOut` sat on the same result
object. graphify's execGraphify branched on `result.signal === 'SIGTERM'`, with
a comment asserting the very premise isSpawnTimeout exists to reject.

Both fail in both directions. On Windows a genuine timeout is not reliably
reported as SIGTERM, so the guard silently fails to fire — the false negative
#3050 was raised for. And an externally-delivered SIGTERM is not a timeout at
all, so the check also fires when it should not; isSpawnTimeout avoids that
because `error` is null in that case and it keys on error.code.

Both now read the derived `timedOut`, and graphify's comment states the actual
rule instead of the fragile assumption.

Also replaces a vacuous test: "execGitDefault now accepts env" never called
execGitDefault (it is unexported), called execGit — whose signature already
accepted env before this branch — and asserted only that exitCode was a
number, which would pass whether or not the change under test existed. It now
proves env reaches the child by asserting `git var GIT_EDITOR` returns the
injected sentinel.

* test(#3071): make the graphify timeout fixture faithful to a real timeout

The remote matrix failed on both Linux lanes: graphify's "returns exitCode 124
on timeout" got 1 instead of 124. The fixture was wrong, not the production
change.

It stubbed spawnSync as { status: null, signal: 'SIGTERM', error: undefined }.
That is not a timeout. A real spawnSync timeout also sets error.code
'ETIMEDOUT'; a SIGTERM with no error is an externally delivered signal — a
kill. The old `result.signal === 'SIGTERM'` check accepted it as a timeout,
which is the false positive the shared predicate exists to reject, so this test
was locking that bug in rather than guarding against it.

The fixture now carries a real ETIMEDOUT error and all three original
assertions pass unchanged. A counter-test is added alongside it: an externally
delivered SIGTERM with no error must NOT be reported as a timeout. That is the
assertion whose absence let the false positive live.

Swept every SIGTERM/SIGKILL stub under tests/ for the same unfaithful shape.
No other instance: the worktree-safety, worktree-base-ref and commit-staging
fixtures already set ETIMEDOUT, and the remaining hits are either deliberate
external-kill tests or feed code that never consults timedOut.

Two sites keep their own signal check deliberately and are NOT changed:
capability-source.cts:1301,1386 fail closed on ANY abnormal termination, which
is correct — reading timedOut there would stop it failing closed on a kill and
let it parse stdout from a killed process. Their reason strings, and
check-latest-version.cjs:115, label any signal as "timed out", which is
imprecise wording over a correct verdict, not a silent failure.

59b74c4e7d fix(#2945): roll back the REQUIREMENTS checkbox when the traceability row rejects the write (#3073)
* test(#2945): prove phase complete checkbox ignores traceability row rejection

Failing-first regression for #2945. cmdPhaseComplete flips the REQUIREMENTS.md
checkbox unconditionally and never rolls back when the traceability row exists
but rejects the Status write (Deferred/Blocked), so a deferred requirement reads
as shipped. Rows 1-2 assert the checkbox stays [ ] for Deferred/Blocked; Row 3
guards the forward-status flip; Row 4 covers the no-row boundary.

* fix(#2945): roll back the REQUIREMENTS checkbox when the traceability row rejects the write

cmdPhaseComplete's inline requirement-write loop flipped the REQUIREMENTS.md
checkbox unconditionally and kept the flip when the traceability row existed but
rejected the Status write (Out/Deferred/Blocked), so a deferred requirement read
as shipped — the #2788 defect-2 fix was written into cmdRequirementsMarkComplete
(milestone.cts) only, never the phase.cts inline copy.

Port the rollback: capture beforeCheckbox, track tableHit in the
updateTraceabilityCell callback, and when reqUpdate.ok && !tableHit (row existed
but rejected the write), restore beforeCheckbox. The two surfaces can no longer
silently diverge. Forward-status rows (Pending/In Progress/Gaps Found) still flip
+ advance; absent rows still flip (nothing to disagree with).

c97f5debb9 fix(#2949): exclude sentinel phase ids from stage-3 next-phase candidacy (#3070)
* test(#2949): prove phase complete stage-3 admits 0.x backlog sentinels

Failing-first regression for #2949. cmdPhaseComplete's stage-3 lowest-outstanding
loop has no sentinel filter, so completing the last real phase with an unchecked
0.x backlog row present selects the sentinel as next_phase, corrupting STATE.md.
Row 1 asserts the 0.x sentinel is not selected; Row 2 guards the #2028 real-lower-
phase out-of-order behavior; Rows 3-4 cover STATE desync and the checked-sentinel
boundary.

* fix(#2949): exclude sentinel phase ids from stage-3 next-phase candidacy

cmdPhaseComplete's stage-3 lowest-outstanding-override loop (#2028) had no
sentinel filter, so completing the last real phase with an unchecked 0.x backlog
row present selected the sentinel as next_phase — comparePhaseNum("0.1","12")
=== -12 sorts it below every real phase — corrupting STATE.md and desyncing
current_phase from current_phase_name.

Add !isSentinelPhaseId(cbm[2]) to the stage-3 condition, reusing the existing
zero-caller predicate (SENTINEL_RANGES = [0, 999]) so both sentinel ranges are
excluded. A real lower-numbered outstanding phase is not a sentinel and is still
selected, preserving #2028's out-of-order-completion behavior.

Stage-3 only: PR #2815 (in-flight, #2786) covers stages 1-2; the two PRs touch
disjoint code.

* fix(#2949): compare next_phase numerically in Row 2 (handles padded/unpadded)

Row 2's assertion /09/.test(next_phase) failed because the CLI returns the
unpadded "9", not "09". Compare numerically (parseInt === 9) so the assertion
holds for either form.

* fix(#2949): mark Phase 11 complete in Row 1 so only the 0.x sentinel is unchecked

Row 1's fixture left Phase 11 unchecked, so completing Phase 12 correctly
selected Phase 11 as the real lower outstanding phase (is_last_phase=false) —
the assertion is_last_phase===true was wrong for that fixture, not the code.
Mark Phase 11 [x] so the ONLY unchecked lower row is the 0.x sentinel, which is
the actual #2949 scenario. Confirmed locally: with Phase 11 checked + the fix,
completing 12 yields is_last_phase=true, next_phase=null (sentinel excluded).

8f75e27554 fix(#3045): fail closed when an executor dispatch drops its resolved isolation (#3069)
* feat(#3045): deny an executor dispatch that drops its isolation flag

Every isolation gate already resolved correctly. The resolved value then reached
the executor through a prose instruction telling the model to substitute it into
a call the model composes itself, and nothing verified the substitution. When it
was dropped, the executor edited and committed in the user's primary checkout
with no consent and no warning.

A prose backstop would be the same class of artifact as the defect, so this is a
shipped PreToolUse hook on the Agent tool. It fires at the instant of the call
rather than being read once at the top of a workflow, which is the only placement
the model cannot skip.

The guard is inert unless it can positively establish that this is a GSD project,
that the project resolves to harness isolation, and that the dispatch targets an
executor. A non-GSD repo has no invariant to enforce. Where it cannot read the
configuration at all, it denies rather than assuming, with its own reason -- a
guard that cannot verify must not answer safe. A malformed payload allows rather
than throwing.

* feat(#3045): extend the isolation guard to Cursor

Cursor is the second of only two runtimes that resolve harness isolation, so
shipping the guard for Claude alone left half the exposed surface unguarded while
the changeset implied it was covered.

The two runtimes fail differently. On Claude the harness flag is a per-dispatch
kwarg the model must copy into a call it composes, and the defect is that it can
be dropped. On Cursor the flag is --worktree, which applies to the whole session,
and the subagent-start payload carries no isolation field at all. There is no
flag to check, so the guard verifies the effective state instead: whether the
workspace is genuinely running outside the user's primary checkout. That is a
stronger check than the Claude one because it tests reality rather than intent,
and it is commented so nobody later rewrites it into a flag check.

Isolation is established two ways, either sufficient: the workspace resolves to a
linked git worktree, or it sits under the worktree root Cursor manages. The
second matters because a directory Cursor placed there is a legitimate isolated
session even before it becomes a distinct git worktree, where linkage alone would
report no repository.

Detecting linkage required a new primitive rather than the existing context
resolver. That resolver short-circuits on finding a local .planning directory
before it ever compares the git directory to the common one -- and an isolation
worktree normally has its own checked-out .planning. Reusing it would have read a
correctly isolated session as unisolated and denied it, which is the failure
direction that gets a guard switched off. The comparison is now its own
shortcut-free function that the resolver delegates to after its own shortcut, so
existing behavior is unchanged, and the case that would have broken is pinned.

The subagent type is checked before any configuration is read, so an unreadable
config cannot deny a dispatch this guard would never have enforced against.

The input-schema comment on the Cursor hook documented only the fields common to
every event and omitted the ones specific to this one. That omission cost a
halt during this work; it now documents both.

* fix(#3045): enforce the resolved dispatch decision, not the host capability

The guard keyed on the registry's dispatch.isolation, which says only that a
runtime is CAPABLE of harness worktrees. The decision that actually governs a
dispatch is the one the workflow resolves after gating, and that legitimately
comes out as sequential in three documented cases: a project setting
use_worktrees false, a per-plan submodule intersection, and the base-check
auto-degrade. The workflow tells the model to omit the flag in exactly those
cases, and the guard was denying every one of them.

The third case matters most. The preceding fix made the base-check degrade on
git timeouts and a missing git binary, where it had previously answered "safe".
That correction is right, and it means a transient hang now degrades to
sequential far more often than before -- so the two changes composed into a trap
where the workflow behaved exactly as designed and the guard blocked it.

The workflow already resolves isolation in shell, deterministically, which is
what makes it a trustworthy source in a way the model-authored call is not. It
now records that resolved value through a dedicated verb, and both guards read
it first. A fresh record is authoritative, so sequential dispatches pass
untouched. Absent or stale, the guards fall back to the capability check
combined with the project's use_worktrees setting, which still covers the case
that never reaches the workflow.

Also widened the matcher to accept Task alongside Agent, since a host that names
the tool Task would otherwise leave the guard silently inert while implying
coverage; stopped assuming Claude when no runtime is declared, which is the
shipped default and would have demanded a Claude-only argument elsewhere; and
made a non-git project inert rather than denied, since advising a worktree
session is not actionable without a repository.

The original diagnosis never modeled sequential mode as legitimate. That
omission is what let this through, and it is now recorded there.

* fix(#3045): record at resolution and bind the record to its dispatch

Two independent reviews converged on the same failure: the guard was fail-open in
a default install, so it did not catch the defect it exists to catch. A shipped
project carries no runtime key, which made "runtime not confidently known" the
common case rather than a corner one. A record asserting that isolation was
required but carrying no flag then fell through to a capability lookup that
answered "none", and the dispatch was allowed. The flag itself only arrived from
a second shell block -- the same block a model dropping the argument would also
skip. A test had pinned that behavior as intended.

The record is now written by the resolver, as an unavoidable consequence of
asking for the value, rather than by a step the model is told in prose to go and
run. A guard against a prose-carried value cannot itself depend on prose. Mode,
flag and identifiers are written together and atomically, so the flagless window
is gone, and a record asserting isolation with no resolvable flag now denies
instead of degrading. Runtime is also resolved from the installer's own recorded
default, which makes confident resolution the normal case.

The per-plan submodule gate degrades after the phase-level decision and never
re-recorded, so a plan that legitimately ran sequentially was denied against a
still-fresh phase record. It now records its own, scoped to the plan.

A record also authorized any dispatch for four hours. One phase degrading to
sequential could silently license an unisolated dispatch in the next. Records
now carry phase and plan, the guards require them to match, and the window is
minutes rather than hours -- the resolver rewrites it before every dispatch, so
a long window bought nothing and only widened the hole.

The flag validator rejected any value beginning with two dashes, which is exactly
the form Cursor and Windsurf declare, so their real value could never have been
stored. Writer and reader also derived the record path differently and diverged
inside a linked worktree without local planning state.

The predictable path remains a way to silence the control without leaving a trace
in the diff. It grants no access an agent with shell does not already have, so it
is documented as accepted rather than redesigned around.

* fix(#3045): correct the staleness boundary and unmask a vacuous parity test

The remote runner returned twenty failures. One was a real production defect the
boundary case existed to catch: a record whose age exactly equalled the staleness
window was treated as fresh, so it stayed authoritative for one tick past its own
expiry. Freshness is now strictly inside the window.

The parity test meant to stop the two guards' executor lists from drifting could
never have failed. Its project fixture was a bare directory rather than a
repository, so the non-git inert branch answered before the executor list was
ever consulted. It asserted agreement it never actually measured. The fixture is
now a real repository, like every sibling in the file.

A test also asserted that Windsurf declares the worktree flag. It does not --
Windsurf resolves to no isolation by design, having no named concurrent dispatch
to isolate. The test claimed a registry fact that was never true, and a comment
in the resolver repeated it. Both corrected, and the test now proves what it
should have all along: that the parser accepts any bare flag value, rather than
one runtime's supposed value.

The new guard was missing from the bundled-hook whitelist, which is the surface
that decides what actually ships, and the per-plan gate had gained calls to the
launcher without the preamble those calls require. The changeset carried
parenthetical product descriptions the purity rule forbids.

* test(#3045): make the guard tests hold on Windows

Two tests redirect HOME to control where the installer-persisted runtime default
is read from. Node resolves the home directory from USERPROFILE on Windows and
never consults HOME, so both silently read the real runner profile, found no
recorded runtime, and asserted against a project the hook had not recognised. The
production code was already correct in asking the platform rather than the
variable; only the tests were wrong to assume one variable answers everywhere.
The helpers now mirror the override onto both.

The symlink spoofing test also created a directory symlink unconditionally, which
needs elevated privileges on Windows. It survived on this runner, but it would
fail on any host without them, so the creation is now attempted and the test
skips explicitly when it cannot be done -- a bare return would have counted as a
pass and hidden the gap.

Skipping alone would have left the platform uncovered, so the behaviour it proves
is now also driven in-process through an injected realpath, following the seam
already used for the clock. That case no longer depends on privileges at all, and
the end-to-end test keeps its original assertions wherever symlinks work.

c899f5ada3 chore(#3065): build the deterministic load-bearing-fragment contract gate (#3068)
* test(#3065): build the load-bearing contract gate ADR-1671 promised

Epic #1671 Phase 7. A post-merge audit of every promise in ADR-1671 against the
merged tree found one mitigation asserted-but-absent and two stale records.

ADR-1671 names exactly one correctness risk — trimming a load-bearing fragment,
with the recorded history of a paraphrased META.RULE causing agent violations —
and #2931 amended its mitigation to a deterministic contract gate that proves no
load-bearing fragment was omitted or shrunk, treats a floored fragment as a
success, and asserts the isolate prefix survives byte-identical, with an explicit
anti-vacuity rule.

That gate did not exist. What existed was tests/context-composer.test.cjs:
synthetic unit tests of the composeWithinBudget primitive over invented
fragments, asserting nothing about real declared strategies. The ADR asserted a
mitigation that was never built, which is the promised-but-not-built shape the
epic's own coverage discipline exists to catch.

The gate derives its load-bearing set from declared verbatim strategies rather
than a hand-maintained list, so it cannot go stale as upstream changes. It sweeps
budgets from 4x total down to a quarter of total and asserts at every step that
no load-bearing id appears in omitted or shrunk, that isolatePrefix is
byte-identical, and that hardFailed is surfaced rather than silently passed.

Both anti-vacuity guards are EXECUTABLE, not comments. One proves the empty
load-bearing set guard actually throws. The other proves a sweep that never
applies pressure is rejected — because a gate that only ever runs unpressured is
exactly how the original mitigation went missing without anyone noticing.
Measured: underPressure true at 6 of 7 budgets, false only at 4x total.

Three ADR records corrected in the same change, all doc-vs-reality drift:

  - Decision item 2 describes a composer that trims by priority to fit a measured
    per-runtime cap. composeWorkflow in fact passes MAX_SAFE_INTEGER with every
    fragment verbatim (both verified in source), so no trimming happens there;
    the emitted-byte cap is a separate measure-and-fail gate and Windsurf's limit
    a bespoke truncation. The wording described an option as shipped behavior.
  - flag:--converge never reached a terminal state. #2992 withheld six atoms;
    five were resolved explicitly. This one was resolved in code by reusing
    state:plan-strategy-converge but recorded nowhere — the same gap #2995 closed
    for flag:--verify-only, and I closed five of six.
  - The open-questions list enumerated three questions while two Resolved-by
    blocks resolved an unlisted Question 4. It is now listed.

Refs #3065

* fix(#3065): make the gate assert over production, not a copy of it

The isolated review found a blocker, and it was fatal to the gate's purpose: it
hand-copied applyBudget's fragment array into the test, so flipping a strategy in
src/prompt-budget.cts — say roadmap from verbatim to drop — would leave the gate
computing from its own untouched copy and still passing. A guard built as an
instance of the very divergence class it exists to prevent
(DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX) is worse than no guard, because it reports green.

Fixed by eliminating the duplicate rather than adding a parity assertion, the
same resolution used for the FAMILIES table in #2996. applyBudget's inline
construction is extracted to an exported buildBudgetFragments(), which both
applyBudget and the gate now call; the 1024 plan floor is exported as
PLAN_FLOOR_CHARS instead of being re-declared in the test. The extraction is pure
— verified behavior-preserving at budget=2000: hardFailed false, omitted
['context'], projectMd shrunk, plan truncation ~27.8%, all headers present. There
is no longer a second copy to diverge from.

Also fixed a vacuous assertion the same review caught: isolatePrefix was pinned
across the sweep, but no production fragment sets isolate:true, so the value is
always '' and the check could never fail. The pinning assertion stays, with an
honest comment that nothing in production sets it today, and a second test now
constructs an isolate:true fragment set and proves the prefix is non-empty and
byte-identical across a roomy and a severely tight budget — which is what makes
the first assertion capable of detecting a real change.

83a26ed1dc fix(#2939): honor the declared depth budget in shouldFlattenDispatch (#3063)
* test(#2939): prove shouldFlattenDispatch ignores the depth budget

Failing-first regression for #2939. shouldFlattenDispatch checks only
background+backgroundDispatch, never nested/subagentToolkit/maxDepth, so a
maxDepth:1 descriptor (no room for a bg orchestrator plus a leaf) is told it
may background. Row 1 (codex-like, maxDepth:1) asserts true (flatten) and
fails today; rows 2/3 guard the unchanged depth-sufficient cases.

* fix(#2939): honor the declared depth budget in shouldFlattenDispatch

shouldFlattenDispatch checked only background+backgroundDispatch, never
nested/subagentToolkit/maxDepth, so a maxDepth:1 descriptor (no room for a
backgrounded orchestrator plus a delegated leaf) was told it may background —
producing a depth-2 tree (Codex MultiAgent V2) the declared contract cannot
support.

canBackground now ALSO requires nested:true + subagentToolkit:"full" + a depth
budget > 1 (or unbounded -1), reusing the exact predicate shape from
bin/install.js _normalizeDispatchCallSpan and matching degradationFor's
treatment of maxDepth===1 as flat. Non-finite/missing maxDepth fails closed to
flatten. Correct the two existing pins that asserted the buggy output (bare
{bg,bgDispatch} now fail-closes on missing depth; the codex-like maxDepth:1 pin
flips to flatten) and add a maxDepth:2 negative-space row.

* fix(#2939): propagate depth-aware flatten to all pinned descriptors + tests

The isolated adversarial review found the depth-aware predicate reclassifies
codex/kimi/kimi-code (previously background-eligible under the two-field rule)
to flatten — the correct behavior, since each lacks what a backgrounded nesting
orchestrator needs:

  - codex: maxDepth:1 (no room for a depth-2 leaf)
  - kimi: nested:false (cannot host a nesting orchestrator)
  - kimi-code: subagentToolkit:'built-in-only' (cannot delegate to full subagents)

Only cursor (maxDepth:2) remains background-eligible. Update the three test
files that pinned the old contract (host-integration-descriptors EXPECTED_FLATTEN,
kimi-upgrades UPGRADE 2, trae-imperative-reference), and align the unbounded
convention to maxDepth < 0 (matching degradationFor/negotiateHostCapabilities)
with an accurate docstring noting the deliberate nested-check addition over
_normalizeDispatchCallSpan.

* fix(#2939): update dispatch-should-flatten CLI query pins for codex

The depth-aware rule (a0ad0f680) reclassifies codex (maxDepth:1) to flatten, but
command-routing-hub.test.cjs exercises the contract through the CLI query route
(runGsdTools query dispatch-should-flatten), not a direct shouldFlattenDispatch
call — so neither the reviewer's caller-search nor a grep for the symbol found
it; only the full gsd-test matrix did. Update the codex query assertions to
shouldFlatten=true (maxDepth:1 insufficient), preserving cursor (maxDepth:2 →
false) and the backgroundDispatch:true descriptor field.

* chore(#2939): add changeset fragment

pr:0 placeholder backfilled with the real PR number once the PR exists.

* fix(#2939): rephrase changeset for product-name-purity + opencode flatten pin

Two failures from the full gsd-test matrix on the prior sha:

1. product-name-purity: changeset fragments must not include parenthetical product
   descriptions (they render verbatim into CHANGELOG.md). 'Codex (and kimi/kimi-code)'
   tripped it — rephrase to lead with the behavior, naming runtimes inline without
   the parenthetical. lint:ci changeset-lint does not catch this; only the test does.

2. opencode-imperative-reference: the #2087-retraction pin flipped only the two
   background booleans and asserted shouldFlatten:false. Under #2939 that is no
   longer sufficient (opencode lacks nested + full toolkit + depth budget), so the
   retracted axes now correctly flatten — update the pin to true with rationale.

c547e73a71 fix(#2927): merge installed overlay reviewer lanes into review-lane invocation (#3062)
* test(#2927): prove overlay reviewer lanes are invisible to review-lane

Failing-first regression for #2927. routeReviewLane builds its lane map from
the static REVIEWER_LANES array only, so an installed overlay reviewer lane
(role:"reviewer" capability) is roster-visible and disclosed at install but
never selectable, plannable, or invocable. The test exercises a pure
mergeReviewerLanes(firstParty, registry) helper that does not exist yet, so
every row fails at the require().

* fix(#2927): merge installed overlay reviewer lanes into review-lane invocation

routeReviewLane built its lane map exclusively from the frozen first-party
REVIEWER_LANES array, so an installed, consented third-party reviewer lane
(role:"reviewer" capability) was roster-visible and disclosed at install but
never selectable, plannable, or invocable — sections/flags/plan/invoke all
shared the one static map.

Add a pure, total mergeReviewerLanes(firstParty, registry) helper
(src/review-lane-descriptor.cts) implementing ADR-2782 D8: first-party ∪
installed overlay reviewer bodies, first-party winning on slug collision. The
overlay body is field-identical to ReviewerLane per ADR-2782 D1 ("no
translation layer"), so the helper MERGES rather than PROJECTS. Malformed
overlays (missing/non-object body, empty or grammar-invalid slug) are skipped,
never thrown — one bad third-party manifest cannot take the first-party lanes
down. routeReviewLane consults loadRegistry({includeInstalled:true}) and
degrades to the static set on any load failure.

* test(#2927): add CLI-seam coverage for the wiring defect + normalize slug

Two findings from the isolated adversarial review:

1. The test matrix's rows 9-10 (acceptance criteria #1-#3: overlay appears
   in sections/flags and plan resolves ok) were documented as covered but
   had no backing tests. The eight pure-helper tests would stay green if the
   one-line routeReviewLane wiring were reverted — the actual defect this PR
   closes had no regression guard. Add real end-to-end CLI tests that install
   a global-scope role:"reviewer" overlay and assert review-lane
   sections/flags/plan see it through loadRegistry -> mergeReviewerLanes.

2. mergeReviewerLanes trimmed the slug for the map key but stored the body
   with its untrimmed slug, diverging from deriveReviewerSlugs (which trims
   before adding to the roster). Normalize the stored lane's slug to the
   trimmed value so the two surfaces agree on the canonical key.

* test(#2927): correct CLI-seam fixtures for reviewer manifest shape

Two corrections from local CLI smoke-testing before the verification run:

1. role:"reviewer" manifests must omit feature-only fields (skills/agents/
   steps/contributions/gates/hooks/runtimeCompat) — the validator rejects them.
   Match the shipped capabilities/lm-studio shape.

2. The plan subcommand renders an ARRAY of {slug,ok,section,transport,...}
   (it strips the nested invocation plan object), so assert on the array
   element, not a top-level object. Also drop the malformed-flag-filter
   assertion: the capability validator enforces flag grammar at install time,
   so a lane with a malformed flag cannot be installed and never reaches the
   flags shape filter (which is defense-in-depth, not independently reachable).

* fix(#2927): drop unnecessary type assertion flagged by lint:ci

The `body as object` cast inside the spread is redundant — body is already
narrowed to object by the preceding typeof check. eslint no-unnecessary-type-
assertion flagged it; lint:ci is a merge gate.

* chore(#2927): add changeset fragment

pr:0 placeholder backfilled with the real PR number once the PR exists.

* fix(#2927): access runGsdTools result via .output in CLI-seam tests

runGsdTools returns {success, output, exitCode, error}, not a string. The CLI
tests (rows 9-10) passed the result object directly to JSON.parse/.split, which
string-coerced to "[object Object]" and threw under gsd-test (3 failures). My
local smoke test ran the CLI directly (string stdout), so it missed this — the
helper wraps execFileSync and returns a result object. Access .output and assert
.success explicitly, matching the established capability-cli.test.cjs convention.

ed360cd99f chore(#2995): extend fragment emission to agents/ and reclaim size-cap headroom (#3058)
* feat(#2995): extend fragment emission to agents/ across every read point

Epic #1671 Phase 6.4. `composeWorkflow` stripped `<!-- gsd:section -->` markers
only for `gsd-core/workflows/`, so a marked agent shipped its markers verbatim
into every runtime — and agent text is loaded into a subagent's context on every
dispatch.

The issue proposed widening the `copyWithPathReplacement` guard. That is a no-op
for agents: agents never traverse that function. Agent content is read for
emission at five independent points, and the obvious chokepoint
`stageAgentsForProfile` short-circuits on the DEFAULT `full` profile
(`skills === '*'` returns the real unstaged directory), so a hook placed there is
dead code on most installs.

Composition now happens at two call sites instead of five parallel surfaces:
`stageAgentsForRuntimeWithConverter` (with `agentsKind` and `kimiAgentsKind`
routed through it via an identity converter) and the inline agent loop in
bin/install.js. Both compose BEFORE any path rewrite, so a `.claude/` ->
`.windsurf/` regex can never reach inside a marker attribute — the ordering
#2930 established for workflows.

`installCodexConfig` was the fifth read point: Codex embeds each agent's prompt
into a per-agent `.toml` via its own readFileSync. Call-graph analysis missed it;
the exhaustive per-runtime emission sweep found it. That is why the new guard is
behavioral rather than structural — a sixth read point fails the sweep without
anyone remembering to extend a list.

tests/agent-fragments-emission.install.test.cjs spawns a real installer for every
runtime at every agent-bearing scope, derived from RUNTIME_META and the
capability registry at run time so a new runtime cannot be silently
under-covered. It asserts markers are absent AND the `when="always"` body is
retained, so marker-absence cannot be satisfied by dropping content. An
identity-composer negative control proves the assertion can fail.

Verified: 0 install failures, 0 marker leaks, body retained on 27 runtime/scope
paths; red before the wiring on claude(global+local), zcode(global+local),
kimi, codex and opencode.

* chore(#2995): give the tightest agents headroom and correct the design lock

Epic #1671 Phase 6.4, second half.

`agents/gsd-verifier.md` had 12 bytes of headroom under its 49,152-byte LARGE
cap and `agents/gsd-debugger.md` had 147 under its 57,344-byte XL cap. Both now
extract reference material to `gsd-core/references/` behind an @-reference — the
documented DEFECT.AGENT-FILE-SIZE-CAP-BREACH remedy:

  gsd-verifier  49,140 -> 46,371 B   headroom    12 -> 2,781
  gsd-debugger  57,197 -> 48,851 B   headroom   147 -> 8,493

Byte accounting proves no content was lost: the combined agent+reference delta
is exactly the new files' headers plus the agents' slim replacement blocks. Each
agent keeps its routing table and a one-line summary per entry, so it degrades
gracefully on a runtime that does not inline @-references.

`agents/gsd-planner.md` is untouched and still passes both char guards
(49,130 < 49,152); it needed no change, so it took none.

The other nine LARGE/XL agents carry NO gsd:section markers, and that is
deliberate, not deferred. `when=` selection is read from
gsd-core/workflows/section-manifest.json, which gen-section-manifest.cjs derives
from gsd-core/workflows/*.md only — shape `{workflows: ...}`, no per-agent key,
no per-agent init entry point. An agent atom therefore fails admission gate (2)
("a fact the init seam demonstrably computes at a real entry point") and would
evaluate false forever while looking like working gating. Marking agents would
manufacture exactly the silent-inertness rot the frozen vocabulary exists to
prevent.

ADR-1671 gains three amendments, two of which close gaps /adr-phase-coverage
found against what actually merged:

  - The 19 -> 29 vocabulary widening shipped in #2994 with no coordinated ADR
    amendment, which that bullet's own rule forbids. Recorded now.
  - `flag:--verify-only` was one of six atoms #2992 withheld and deferred to
    "the LARGE/XL rollout phase". Five shipped; this one is permanently
    rejected, and that disposition lived only in a merged PR body.
  - Phase 6.4's own finding: emission extends to agents/, gating does not.

CONTEXT.md's glossary was stale on both seams — Workflow Fragments Module still
listed the original 4-atom vocabulary and described when= as "not yet acted on",
and Section Manifest Module still described InvocationFacts as
{waveFlag, phaseNumber, hasPriorPhases}. Both now match the shipped contract.

Inventory manifest regenerated AFTER build:lib per the documented ordering
landmine; 19 install-tree fixtures pick up the two new references.

Refs #2995

* chore(#2995): correct the compose-site count and mark the raw stager

Self-review found two comment defects in the prior commit. The agentsKind
comment claimed composition lands at TWO call sites; it is three, since
installCodexConfig's per-agent .toml writer was added after that comment was
written. And stageAgentsForProfile is now production-dead — both callers route
through the composing stager — while staying exported and unit-tested, which
makes it a trap: it does a raw copyFileSync and short-circuits to the unstaged
source directory under the default profile, so a future caller would silently
reintroduce the marker-shipping path. Its JSDoc now says so.

* test(#2995): guard the marker-documenting-doc class for agents

Widening the composer's scope to agents/ makes reachable the exact class #2930
narrowed scope to avoid: a file that DOCUMENTS the marker syntax with an
unfenced example is indistinguishable from a real marker, so the composer drops
that line from the emitted artifact.

Three rows. A fenced example must compose byte-identically. No shipped agent may
carry a marker outside a fence — asserted by parsing every real agent and
requiring zero explicit sections, which is what makes the fence protection
load-bearing rather than decorative. And a non-vacuity row asserts an UNFENCED
marker IS parsed as a real marker, so if that ever stops being true the second
row is guarding nothing.

Also applies two review findings: stageAgentsForProfile's new JSDoc claimed it
had no production caller, which is false — bin/install.js's _stageAgents still
calls it, and its consumers compose before writing. Corrected to state the
invariant instead. And a let/const nit in the emission sweep.

* fix(#2995): keep verifier status vocabulary in the agent, fix a wrong fixture

The first remote run came back red with three failures. Both root causes were
mine.

1. tests/agent-frontmatter.test.cjs requires agents/gsd-verifier.md to literally
   contain HOLLOW and DISCONNECTED. The Step 4b extraction moved that status
   vocabulary into gsd-core/references/verifier-wiring-patterns.md, so the agent
   no longer had it.

   Byte accounting said no content was lost, and byte-wise that was true — but a
   contract required those tokens to live IN THE AGENT. That is ADR-1671:66's
   flexReserve floor stated concretely: a load-bearing fragment must not be
   trimmed out of its host, and "the bytes still exist somewhere" is not the
   test. The two status tables are restored to the agent and deliberately
   mirrored in the reference with a note saying so, so the procedure there still
   reads standalone. gsd-verifier lands at 47,069 B — headroom 12 -> 2,083,
   rather than the 2,781 the first attempt claimed.

2. Row 12b of the new marker-documentation guard asserted that an unfenced
   marker example parses as a real marker, and threw instead:
   "unmatched /gsd:section close marker". The grammar is WHOLE-LINE only. The
   fixture had put the OPEN marker inline mid-sentence, so it was correctly not
   recognised as an open while the close, on its own line, was.

   That is a real refinement of the hazard this guard exists for: only a marker
   on its OWN line is mis-parsed — which is exactly how a documentation example
   is normally written. Row 12b now uses a whole-line marker, and a new row 12c
   pins the inline case as explicitly NOT a marker.

No test was weakened to accommodate the change; the change was corrected to
satisfy the tests.

24066e536e fix(#3050): fail closed when a worktree guard cannot verify safety (#3054)
* fix(#3050): fail closed when a worktree guard cannot verify safety

Three places answered "safe" when they had not actually checked.

The base-divergence gate held the clearest evidence against itself: within one
function, an unresolvable fork ref correctly degrades, while an unresolvable
HEAD twenty-five lines earlier returned "proceed". Because a timeout collapsed
into the same branch as "not a git repository", a locked index or a stalled
mount produced a green gate that had never resolved the fork base -- and that
value decides parallel versus sequential dispatch.

Timeouts are now distinguished from a genuine absence of a repository. A
timeout degrades with its own reason and message; not-a-git-repo keeps today's
non-degrading behavior, because there is no worktree concern there. The same
conflation in worktree-context resolution is surfaced rather than silently
falling back to the current directory.

Worktree creation's root confinement was opt-in: omitting the root skipped the
check entirely, leaving only the leading-dash and parent-segment guards. The
sole caller always passed it, so nothing was exploitable -- it is now mandatory
so a future caller cannot inherit an unconfined path by forgetting.

The timeout predicate was checked against what Node actually emits on a
spawnSync timeout, not only against the fixtures, so it cannot be a guard that
fires solely in tests.

Coverage is deliberately behavioral. The existing worktree suites -- 134 tests
across two files -- require no production module and call no production
function; they assert against prose and would pass with the implementation
deleted. That is how three fail-open guards survived in a heavily-tested
module, so the new tests drive the real resolvers through an injected git seam,
with five of them pinning the paths that must NOT change.

One existing test asserted the opt-in confinement behavior and was rewritten
rather than left green against the corrected code.

* test(#3050): stop a CLI exit code leaking into the test process

The runner reported the new file as failed while the file's own summary said
nine tests passed and none failed. That signature is a non-zero process exit
after a green run, not a failing assertion.

Cause: the confinement test calls the worktree-create command function directly,
and that function sets process.exitCode on its failure path as a CLI would. In
process, that exit code became the test file's own exit status.

The sibling suite already guards this with a save/restore wrapper and a comment
naming the hazard; the new file simply did not follow the convention. It does
now.

Root cause is in the test, not the production code -- setting an exit code is
correct behavior for a command entry point, and the existing convention exists
precisely because tests call these functions in process.

Verified by exit-code and active-handle probes rather than by re-running: exit
was 1, is now 0, with zero lingering handles and all nine tests still passing.

8c1962200d fix(#2911): resolve surface re-stage destinations the way the installer does (#3049)
* fix(#2911): resolve surface re-stage destinations the way the installer does

Two writers computed the same destination differently. The installer honors a
skills-kind home override; the surface re-stage ignored it and always resolved
against configDir. For a global Codex install that override points at
$HOME/.agents, so every re-stage built a second GSD-managed skill tree under
$CODEX_HOME alongside the correct one, with nothing indicating which was live.

Honors the override as a fallback, never a replacement -- runtimes without one
still resolve against configDir, which is most of them.

The real deliverable is the parity test, not the one-expression fix: it walks
every runtime in the registry across both scopes, computes the installer and
surface destinations, and fails naming the runtime if they ever disagree. Today
only Codex global carries an override, so it discriminates on exactly one
runtime -- stating that plainly rather than implying broader coverage -- but it
is derived from the registry, so a newly-added runtime is covered without anyone
remembering to add it.

Two further defects fixed rather than deferred:

- The legacy dev-preferences migration carried the identical defect, which the
  issue flagged as a latent instance of the same shape.
- Fixing it exposed a symlink-escape guard confined against the wrong root: it
  checked the span between configDir and the skill dir, but a home override
  moves the skill dir outside configDir entirely, so the span was meaningless
  and threw a false-positive escape. Now confined against the install root the
  destination actually resolves under. The guard is unchanged in strength and
  still honors its opt-in; only the root it measures from is corrected.

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

* fix(#2911): honor the home override in the fourth destination writer too

Adversarial review found a writer the fix had missed: the opencode-family skills
installer resolved its destination and its symlink guard against targetDir,
never consulting the skills-kind home override, while its three siblings all
already honored it.

Pre-existing and currently dormant -- it is reachable only for the
combined-family runtimes, and none of them declares an override today, so no
user is affected right now. Fixed anyway rather than left as a latent instance
of the same shape, which is exactly what this issue asked for in the case of the
legacy migration.

Mirrors the shape used for the other three: a single installRoot local that both
the destination and the guard derive from, so the two cannot drift apart. The
guard's message now names the root it actually confined against.

Coverage extended to this writer and proven non-theatre: reverting the change in
a scratch build makes it fail for both combined-family runtimes.

Enumerated every remaining site that computes a destination from destSubpath or
calls the confinement helper -- install and uninstall paths, the surface module,
the read-side skills-root reporter. All honor the override or structurally
cannot express one. No fifth defect. The one adjacent shape, the flat command
directory, reads a different descriptor field that no kind declares an override
for in the current schema; noted rather than papered over with a fallback for a
field that cannot exist.

Verified no behavior change for the affected runtimes today: normalized
file-tree hashes before and after are identical.

ef823ca9d9 fix(#2830): propagate a halted plan to its transitive dependents (#3038)
* test(#2830): add failing regression tests for halted-plan dependent blocking

Add tests/fix-2830-halted-plan-dependents.test.cjs covering direct,
transitive (2 and 3 hop), and diamond dependents of a halted plan across
both independent "which plans are incomplete" readers (phase-plan-index's
cmdPhasePlanIndex and findPhaseInternal/searchPhaseInDir), the negative
case (an unrelated decoupled plan stays runnable), and a parity check that
the two readers agree. Uses only modules that already exist at this
commit (gsd-tools.cjs via subprocess, the pre-existing phase-locator.cjs)
so the test file loads and runs cleanly on a fresh clone of this exact
commit. These fail against current behavior: neither reader has any
concept of a halted plan or a blocked_by/runnable view yet.

* fix(#2830): a halted plan no longer leaves its dependents on the runnable work list

A plan that reaches a designed stop still writes a SUMMARY, so both
"which plans are incomplete" readers saw it as an ordinary completion and
reported its dependents as ordinary runnable work — never checking
whether an upstream plan had halted rather than finished.

- New `status: halted` frontmatter value, documented in all four SUMMARY
  templates alongside the existing `status: complete`.
- New shared src/plan-dependency-graph.cts: a single computeHaltPropagation
  pass that both phase.cts's cmdPhasePlanIndex (wave-grouping) and
  phase-locator.cts's searchPhaseInDir (the phase-location primitive, ~50
  dependent symbols across 5 command routers) now call, so the
  two-implementation divergence that caused this bug cannot recur. It
  accepts an optional precomputedOrder so cmdPhasePlanIndex — which already
  runs Kahn's algorithm in computeDependencyLevels for wave assignment —
  passes that order straight through instead of a second traversal;
  searchPhaseInDir (no prior traversal) lets the module derive its own.
  The two small duplicated predicates each reader would otherwise carry
  (is this status "halted"?, which summary file matches which plan id?)
  are centralized in the same module as isHaltedStatus/buildSummaryFileIndex.
- Additive fields only: `halted`/`blocked_by`/`runnable` on
  cmdPhasePlanIndex's plans[] and top level, `halted_plans`/`blocked_by`/
  `runnable_plans` on searchPhaseInDir's result. The pre-existing
  `incomplete`/`incomplete_plans` fields are unchanged in meaning and
  membership.
- execute-phase.md's discover_and_group_plans step now also skips any
  plan whose `blocked_by` is non-empty, reporting it by name with its
  blocking chain, in addition to (not instead of) the existing
  has_summary skip rule.

Extends tests/fix-2830-halted-plan-dependents.test.cjs (introduced in the
prior commit) with direct unit coverage of computeHaltPropagation
(including the precomputedOrder call shape) and a fast-check property
test — both only possible once this commit's new module exists.

Closes #2830

* fix(#2830): surface the halt-aware view from init execute-phase

The adopted work made phase-locator compute halted_plans / blocked_by /
runnable_plans, but cmdInitExecutePhase builds its output by explicitly
enumerating fields, so all three were computed and then silently dropped at
the exact consumer the issue names as regressed.

Forwards them additively -- incomplete_plans and incomplete_count keep their
name, type and semantics byte-for-byte -- and adds the same three empty
defaults to the roadmap-only fallback so the shape is consistent in both
branches. Covered by a new test that drives the real CLI end to end rather
than the locator function, since the locator already worked.

* fix(#2830): fail closed on dependency cycles and stop the templates inviting the defect

Three review findings, all fixed:

- BLOCKER (isolated adversarial). Cycle participants never reach indegree 0 in
  the Kahn pass, so they were excluded from the topological order, never visited
  by the forward pass, and vanished from blocked_by entirely -- i.e. reported as
  runnable. The wave-grouping reader hard-fails on a cycle so it never hit this,
  but the phase-location reader does not, so init execute-phase offered a plan
  depending directly on a halted plan. Reproduced, then fixed in the shared
  engine so every consumer is safe regardless of pre-checks: a node absent from
  the order is now blocked with a deterministic, non-empty named cause. A plan
  silently missing from both blocked_by and runnable is the exact disappearance
  this issue exists to prevent.

- MAJOR (isolated adversarial). All four summary templates showed the field as
  an inline comment on the value line. Frontmatter parsing does not strip
  trailing comments, so an executor copying the templates' own presentation
  wrote a halt that parsed as a non-halted string, silently reproducing the
  original bug. Guidance moved off the value line, and the halt predicate now
  tolerates an unquoted trailing comment.

- HARD standards violation. A test regex-matched child-process stderr prose for
  /cycle/i, which CONTRIBUTING bans. Replaced with the structured failure signal
  plus a differential assertion (same fixture without the cycle edge must
  succeed), so it stays cycle-specific without matching prose.

Also folds the duplicated read-summary-and-check-halted wrapper out of both
readers into the shared module -- centralizing only the predicate left the exact
two-copies-that-drift pattern the module exists to prevent -- and commits the
artifact-types documentation for the new status value.

* test(#2830): stop the property generator hanging the whole suite

The remote runner did not fail -- it hung. Two containers sat in this file for
31+ minutes, and an earlier attempt ran 9 hours before I killed it. The runner
passes --test-timeout=0, so nothing ever reaps it: this would have hung CI
indefinitely, not reported a failure.

Root cause: the DAG generator built edges by rejection --

  from: fc.integer({ min: 0, max: n - 1 })
  to:   fc.integer({ min: 0, max: n - 1 })
  .filter(({ from, to }) => from < to)

With n === 1 both integers are forced to 0, so the predicate is unsatisfiable
and fast-check retries value generation forever. n is drawn from 1..12 and
fast-check biases toward boundary values, so n === 1 is reached almost at once.

This also explains why the failing-first run completed normally while the fixed
run hung: before the fix the graph module did not exist, so the property test
threw on import and never reached generation. It only starts hanging once the
code under test works.

Generates the DAG by construction instead -- `to` is drawn strictly above
`from`, with the degenerate single-node case short-circuited to an empty edge
list -- so no rejection sampling is involved. Switches the import to the shared
fast-check setup so the seed and run count are pinned per CONTRIBUTING, and adds
a bounded regression guard that samples the arbitrary directly, so a future
reintroduction fails loudly instead of hanging.

Verified: the file now completes in 2 seconds, 29 tests started and 29 finished,
zero failures, against an indefinite hang before.

* fix(#2830): restore the depends_on display contract and acknowledge the workflow growth

Full-suite run surfaced two things the focused harnesses could not.

1. Regression of a pinned pre-existing contract (#3785). A refactor routed the
   EMITTED depends_on field through the new dependency resolver, which also
   consults the canonical-prefix map. The original consulted the plan map only,
   so a short canonical prefix passed through verbatim -- '24-01' stayed
   '24-01' rather than becoming '24-01-auth-hardening'. The emitted field is a
   DISPLAY mapping, not the DAG resolution, and #3785 pins that. Reverted with
   a comment recording why it must not use the resolver; full resolution is
   still used for the wave DAG and halt propagation, which is what needs it.

2. The workflow file grew 518 bytes without an acknowledgment, from the
   halt-aware skip rule and the widened parse contract. Acknowledged.

Note on where the acknowledgment landed: the guidance is to add a NEW fragment,
but execute-phase.md is already named by an existing fragment and the linter
hard-fails when two ack sources name the same path. Appending to the owning
fragment, following its own established multi-PR pattern, was the only
lint-clean option.

Extract the --forensic-gated forensic_audit step to
workflows/progress/steps/forensic-audit.md behind a section marker, and
repair progress.md's init line to forward --forensic so the atom is

* chore(#2994): fragmentize the four manifest-wired workflows

new-project, quick, new-milestone and progress each already had a
dedicated cmdInit* entry point but zero marked sections. Extract nine
gated bodies to workflows/<wf>/steps/ behind section markers and repair
each init line to forward its flags.

Fold --full into the discuss/research/validate facts inside cmdInitQuick
so the when= grammar never sees an OR, per the chunked-mode precedent.

Fixes found while working, per the no-defer rule:
- cmdInitProgress passed no phase info to buildSectionManifestField, so
  state:phase-mvp-mode was permanently false — an atom in the vocabulary
  whose fact could never be computed.
- the quick init router folded flag tokens into the free-text
  description, which the new forwarding would have corrupted.
- a #2508 dispatch note was nested inside quick.md's Agent(prompt=)
  fence, leaking orchestrator guidance into the subagent prompt.
- progress.md had a 3-vs-4 backtick outer-fence imbalance.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize verify-work.md and admit state:ui-phase-active

Wire cmdInitVerifyWork to buildSectionManifestField — it was a dedicated
entry point that never emitted a manifest — and mark two sections.

state:ui-phase-active folds (plan:pre hooks include an active ui step) OR
(the phase dir holds a *-UI-SPEC.md) into one boolean in init.cts, so the
grammar still sees a single operator-free atom. The inner Playwright-MCP
check stays as prose inside the fragment: it is live session state and no
init seam can precompute it.

The MVP false-branch note is a real fallback, not redundant prose, so it
sits outside the marker — gating it away would delete the text needed
precisely when MVP mode is off.

Retarget every guard that asserted on content this branch moved into

verified to still fail when its step file is blanked, so none was
weakened into vacuity.

Three assertions in verify-mvp-uat were genuinely red. Three more were
worse than red — passing for the wrong reason:
- quick-commit-boundary and worktree-cleanup anchored on indexOf('Step
  5.6'), which matched a later cross-reference and sliced 16069 chars
  that coincidentally held the asserted substrings. Replaced with an
  expandWorkflowSections helper that splices step content back in place.
- phase6-review-capabilities lost its end boundary and widened to EOF.
- playwright-ui-verify matched 'UI' in an unrelated bullet and 'fall
  back' in a subagent-dispatch line after the real content moved.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize code-review and complete-milestone, admit three atoms

Add dedicated cmdInitCodeReview and cmdInitCompleteMilestone entry points
alongside the shared generic ones rather than modifying them — init.phase-op

processes) and stay byte-identical for their other callers.

Admit flag:--fix, state:fallow-enabled and state:git-create-tag, each with
a consuming section and a fact its own entry point computes.

Both sections had the resolver-in-body hazard: the fallow config-gate and
the git.create_tag check each sat inside the very block being gated, so
gating would have disabled the resolver that decides the gate. Both are
hoisted into init and the bodies now consume the resolved fact.

- workflow-fragments' frozen-vocabulary lock was missing
  state:ui-phase-active, so commit 7ef7f8336 shipped red. Lint and build

* chore(#2994): fragmentize autonomous.md and admit state:plan-strategy-converge

Five sections share one atom, the pattern plan-phase already uses for
flag:--research-phase. The atom folds --converge OR --cross-ai into a
single boolean in cmdInitAutonomous so the grammar stays operator-free.

cmdInitAutonomous is additive; init.milestone-op, init.manager and
init.phase-op are untouched and still consumed. The $PLAN_STRATEGY bash
resolver is deliberately retained — ungated local-planning bullets still
read it, so the init-side fact supplements it rather than replacing it.

converge-fail-fast required splitting one bash fence so the always-run
CONVERGENCE_ARGS construction stays outside the marker. All three
flag-absent fallbacks were left outside their markers.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize review and discuss-phase-assumptions

Admit state:reviewer-instances-configured (two peripheral notes share it;
the core reviewer-lane dispatch stays unmarked — it is the workflow's
primary always-evaluated logic, not an optional branch) and
state:auto-advance-active, which folds --auto OR two config keys into one
boolean so the grammar stays operator-free.

discuss-phase-assumptions was the highest-risk edit in this PR. Its
auto_advance step is a full if/elif/else; gating it whole would have
deleted the flag-absent fallback needed exactly when --auto is off. Split
verified exact: resolvers 636-651 and the 'End here' fallback 668-669 both
stay outside the marker; only 653-667 is gated.

Adds emitted-drift acks for the two files that grew — review.md (+55 B)

Admits state:is-monorepo and adds state:next-channel, state:workstream-active
and state:flat-mode. Vocabulary 26 -> 30 atoms.

Part A of new-milestone applies when NO workstream is active — the negation
of state:workstream-active. Rather than teach the grammar negation, which is
the Greenspun drift the frozen list exists to prevent, it gets a separate
positively-phrased atom whose fact is the inverse. Part B, which always runs,
stays outside the marker.

flag:--verify-only is deliberately NOT admitted: docs-update has no
contiguous purely-additive region for it, and an atom without a consuming
section is dead vocabulary. Evidence recorded in the slice report.

update.md reuses its existing resolved $GSD_TOOLS rather than prepending the
canonical preamble, which would have clobbered it.

* fix(#2994): stop automated-ui-verification re-resolving its own gate, retire dead vocabulary

Two defects the new tests caught.

The automated-ui-verification step re-ran gsd_run loop render-hooks and
recomputed UI_PHASE_ACTIVE inside a body that is only read when that fact
is already true — the circular self-disabling pattern this design forbids,
introduced by 3c654b168. cmdInitVerifyWork now exposes ui_phase_active and
the step consumes it. Its launcher preamble goes too: no gsd_run remains.
The Playwright-MCP check stays as prose — that is live session state.

Dead vocabulary predating this PR: flag:--full and state:needs-codebase-map
were admitted with a gate-1 claim that never materialized. flag:--full is
removed, redundant once quick folds it into discuss/research/validate.
state:needs-codebase-map gets the real consumer it always lacked, gating
new-project's codebase-map offer. Vocabulary 30 -> 29, and no atom is now
without a consuming section.

* test(#2994): add the atom-admission, inversion and resolver-hoist gates

The two existing parity guards prove vocabulary/predicate symmetry but
never that a fact is computed — an atom no cmdInit* assembles evaluates
false forever. These close that hole:

- per-atom satisfiability for all 29 atoms, plus an anti-vacuity assertion
  so the loop cannot silently cover zero atoms
- dead-vocabulary check against the shipped manifest
- inversion guard: the flag-absent fallbacks in discuss-phase-assumptions
  and verify-work must stay outside their markers
- data-driven resolver-hoist guard over the shipped manifest, so a future
  extraction cannot reintroduce the circular class
- compound-fold coverage (--full, --cross-ai, --rc, config-only --auto)
- null-vs-[] degraded/computed distinction, and flag value shapes

Also repairs the frozen-vocabulary lock, which was stale and red for the
seven atoms earlier commits on this branch shipped.

* fix(#2994): dedupe the phase-fallback block and harden --ws parsing

Review findings.

MAJOR: the three new init entry points each pasted a verbatim copy of the
guardedFindPhase/guardedGetRoadmapPhase fallback, taking the repo from four
copies to seven — DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX. Extracted applyRoadmapFallback and
folded six of the seven; each call site keeps its own field-set via a
closure. Duplication removed rather than papered over with a parity test.
cmdInitPhaseOp stays out: its fallback omits has_reviews, so it is not a
byte-identical copy, and it is CRITICAL-radius.

LOW, pre-existing: GSD_WS captured [^[:space:]]+ and expands unquoted, so a
workstream name holding glob metacharacters would expand against the
filesystem. Narrowed to [A-Za-z0-9._-]+. The unquoted expansion is kept —
it must word-split into two args and vanish when empty.

Also restores the vocabulary ordering convention, and fixes a masked test
bug the mandated run surfaced: the flag-forwarding guard checked only the
first init line per workflow, but new-milestone has two, so a real failure
was reporting exit 0.

* fix(#2994): drop the stale new-milestone emitted-drift ack

new-milestone.md was acked for a +406 B growth measured against an
intermediate commit. Net against origin/next it SHRANK by 8 bytes, so
nothing needed the ack and it explained nothing — which the differential
attribution check reports as a stale acknowledgment, not a pass.

update.md's entry stays: it genuinely grew +703 B.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#2994): resolve the 15 failures from the full matrix run

All 15 were real and identical on both lanes.

REAL REGRESSION: autonomous.md hit 41479 chars against the #2196 guard's
40960 cap — a CHARS cap distinct from the LARGE tier byte cap, which the
five section stubs pushed it over. Extracted the 3a.5 UI Design Contract
body to references/; now 39968 chars, and the file nets -795 B vs base, so
its growth ack is deleted rather than left stale.

REAL DEFECT: docs referenced /gsd-transition, which is not a live
registered command. Reworded.

STALE FIXTURE: the emission byte-identity test hardcoded two marked
workflows; this branch legitimately marks fifteen. Fixture corrected — the
source was right.

The rest were drift guards over the eight workflows the earlier sweep did
not cover, retargeted at where the content now lives with non-vacuity
proven by blanking each step file and confirming failure. The GSD_WS
forwarding guard was checked as a possible real break and is not one: the
charclass narrowing is intact and forwarding works end to end.

* fix(#2994): drop the ack for a newly-added reference file

A new file's emitted ripple is attributable to the diff that adds it, so
the acknowledgment explained nothing and the differential check reports it
as stale. Removing the last entry removes the fragment — an empty one
signals nothing.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#2994): retarget the UI-contract guards and clear two transitive advisories

The §3a.5 extraction that brought autonomous.md under the #2196 char cap
moved its body to references/autonomous-ui-design-contract.md, so ten
guards in autonomous-ui-steps and check-ui-safety-gate were asserting it
against the host. Retargeted via a combined read, each proven non-vacuous
by blanking the reference file and confirming failure.

This class had already bitten twice on this branch because each sweep was
scoped to the workflows touched at that moment, so this one was
exhaustive: ~70 test files across all 13 workflows, zero further broken or
vacuous assertions found.

Also clears two high transitive advisories the matrix flagged on one lane
— fast-uri GHSA-7p8r-x3mc-p8w7 and three ip-address SSRF/trust-boundary
issues. Both pre-date this branch: package-lock.json was untouched until
now, so the production tree was byte-identical to the base. Lockfile-only,
package.json unchanged, verified against a real npm ci install.

c6ce4d1d9a fix(#2755): resolve the kimi hooks-TOML root per runtime (#3032)
* test(#2755): failing-first coverage for per-runtime kimi hooks root

Install/uninstall filesystem-shape rows over a sandbox HOME (no permission
tricks) plus resolver unit rows. Covers both uninstall directions, which is
where a fix applied only to the install call site would drift.

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

* fix(#2755): resolve the kimi hooks-TOML root per runtime

resolveKimiHooksTomlDir took no runtime argument and hardcoded ~/.kimi, but
both kimi and kimi-code route through the single hooksSurface=kimi-hooks-toml
branch. A --kimi-code install therefore wrote its [[hooks]] block, hook bundle
and CommonJS marker into Kimi CLI's config file, and a --kimi-code uninstall
stripped Kimi CLI's block.

Adds a runtime selector to the resolver -- kimi keeps ~/.kimi + KIMI_SHARE_DIR,
kimi-code gets ~/.kimi-code + KIMI_CODE_HOME, per Kimi Code's own upstream
data-locations and hooks docs -- and passes the runtime at both the install and
uninstall call sites. An omitted or unrecognized runtime still resolves ~/.kimi,
so the exported no-arg contract is unchanged.

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

* test(#2755): use centralized helpers and add a divergence guard

Review findings, all fixed in-PR:

- The new test block reimplemented runMinimalInstall, createTempDir and
  toPosixPath. Extends runMinimalInstall with optional root/extraEnv instead
  (back-compat: every existing caller passes neither) and uses the centralized
  helpers, per CONTRIBUTING's Use Centralized Test Helpers rule.

- Adds a parity assertion between the capability registry and the resolver: a
  third runtime declaring hooksSurface kimi-hooks-toml would silently inherit
  ~/.kimi, re-creating this very defect. The guard fires the moment those two
  surfaces drift.

- Adds an installer-level test proving KIMI_SHARE_DIR and KIMI_CODE_HOME do not
  interfere when both are set, which only the resolver unit covered before.

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

* test(#2755): track the kimi-code hooks root in the emitted-artifact gates

The remote runner caught a real ripple: moving kimi-code hooks to ~/.kimi-code
made 31 emitted paths unattributable and 58 emitted hashes unexplained, because
three parallel surfaces keyed on the literal .kimi path.

- HOOK_CONFIG_RELATIVE_PATHS excluded only .kimi/config.toml, so kimi-code's
  config.toml became manifest-visible; it embeds a platform-varying node-runner
  command and must stay out for both products.
- HOOKS_ROOTS, the package.json-marker branch and the synthesized-install-metadata
  pattern each named .kimi only.
- tests/fixtures/install-tree/kimi-code.json still recorded the old paths;
  regenerated via gen:install-tree.

Adds the per-PR drift acknowledgment for the 58 paths whose bytes are unchanged
but whose destination moved - a ripple no source diff can show, since no hook
script was edited.

* fix(#2755): clear production-tree security advisories

The remote runner's npm-integrity gate reported 2 high advisories in the
production dependency tree. My diff touches neither package.json nor
package-lock.json, so these come from the base -- but a red gate is not
something to wave off as pre-existing, so it is fixed here rather than deferred.

Lockfile-only, semver-in-range, via npm audit fix:
  fast-uri   3.1.4  -> 3.1.5   (host confusion via backslash authority introducer)
  ip-address 10.2.0 -> 10.4.0  (three SSRF / trust-boundary bypasses)
  hono       4.12.31 -> 4.13.0 (moderate; reverting it traded a high for a
                                moderate, so the full remedy is taken)

npm audit now reports 0 vulnerabilities at every severity, npm ci installs
clean from the updated lockfile, and the build and the kimi behavior both
re-verified afterwards.

fd64389616 fix(#2703): strip GSD-2 frontmatter with the canonical parser (#3027)
* test(#2703): failing-first coverage for CRLF frontmatter strip in SUMMARY.md

Drives the exported buildPlanningArtifacts seam. Rows for CRLF/LF parity,
stacked blocks and a leading BOM fail against the current hand-rolled
regex; the negative-space rows pin behavior that must not change.

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

* fix(#2703): strip GSD-2 frontmatter with the canonical parser

buildSummaryMd matched the closing delimiter with a hardcoded bare \n, so a
CRLF-authored task summary never matched and fell through to the raw-passthrough
branch. The function then prepended its own block, emitting a SUMMARY.md with two
stacked frontmatter blocks and no warning.

Delegates to stripFrontmatter from frontmatter.cts -- the canonical, line-ending
tolerant primitive this repo already deduplicated once (#2143) -- instead of
adding another hand-rolled variant.

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

* fix(#2703): strip only the first frontmatter block in gsd2 import

Adversarial review caught a regression in the first cut: stripFrontmatter
loops by design, so a summary body opening with a thematic-break-delimited
section (--- / heading / ---) had that section silently deleted. The old
pre-#2703 regex preserved it, so shipping the loop would have traded one
silent corruption for another.

Adds an explicit { once } option to the canonical primitive -- default
behavior and the two existing callers are unchanged -- and has buildSummaryMd
opt in. A GSD-2 summary is an arbitrary user document, not a GSD artifact with
a known doubling failure mode, so a second block there is body content.

This also makes the acceptance criterion exact: CRLF now produces the same
result LF already produced, rather than a new result for both.

067a4d1c6c fix(#2650): bound and auto-recover plan-phase planner/plan-checker stalls (#3015)
* test(#2650): add failing-first regression for plan-phase stall detection

Regression test for gsd_stall_should_recover / gsd_stall_watch and the
planner.stall_* config keys, none of which exist yet — proves RED before
the fix lands in the next commit.

* fix(#2650): bound and auto-recover plan-phase planner/plan-checker stalls

Mirrors the already-shipped executor.stall_* pattern (execute-phase.md, bug
#3212) but with a dispatch change the executor's prose-only surveillance
lacks: the standard planner spawn, chunked-outline planner spawn,
chunked-per-plan planner spawn, plan-checker spawn, and revision-loop
planner respawn now dispatch with run_in_background=true and are followed
by a real, bounded bash poll (gsd_stall_watch) that returns control to the
orchestrator on its own schedule instead of waiting indefinitely on a
subagent that may never return. On stall, the existing accept-plans/retry/
stop recovery menu (9a/11a) is auto-surfaced instead of requiring a manual
interrupt.

New config keys planner.stall_detect_interval_minutes (default 5) /
planner.stall_threshold_minutes (default 10) mirror executor.stall_*.

The helper functions (gsd_stall_should_recover, gsd_stall_watch) live in a
new lazily-loaded gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/stall-detection-
helpers.md rather than inline, and per-site prose is kept minimal, because
plan-phase.md is frozen under the ADR-857 Phase 6 PRE_PHASE6 gate
(tests/phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs) with ~36 bytes of headroom at
baseline; the net effect is plan-phase.md.md ships slightly SMALLER than
before (the old unconditional-wait ORCHESTRATOR RULE sentences are gone at
the five touched sites, superseded by the bounded watcher).

Also fixes a stale doc comment in tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs that
still described the per-file workflow-size-baseline.json guard removed by
#2724 (ADR-2719 Phase 4) as if it were still the enforcement mechanism —
discovered while verifying this fix's own byte budget.

Researcher and pattern-mapper spawns are untouched (out of scope per the
issue's Agent Brief).

* fix(#2650): make gsd_stall_watch single-cycle; harden numeric config inputs

Two review findings addressed on top of the prior commit:

1. gsd_stall_watch previously looped internally for the full
   threshold+interval duration inside ONE Bash tool call (up to 15 min at
   defaults) — a single call blocking that long risks the host tool's own
   timeout killing it before it ever prints a result, silently defeating the
   fix. Redesigned to a single sleep-and-check cycle per call, taking an
   explicit dispatch_ts so the orchestrator prose can repeat the (short,
   default 5 min) call until it resolves; the outer threshold is now
   enforced by dispatch_ts accumulating across calls, not by one call's
   duration. Documented the resulting trade-off (up to one interval of
   added latency on the success path) in the changeset and reference doc.

2. PLANNER_STALL_INTERVAL_MINUTES/THRESHOLD_MINUTES are config-controlled
   values that flow into bash arithmetic ($(( ))). A review flagged this as
   command injection; empirically verified against both macOS bash 3.2.57
   and Docker bash:5 that this is NOT actually exploitable (bash hard-errors
   on a `$(cmd)`-shaped arithmetic operand rather than invoking it) — but an
   unvalidated malformed value WOULD abort the stall-watcher itself with
   that bash error, silently defeating the exact hang-recovery this issue
   ships. Added integer validation with safe-default fallback, both at the
   config-resolution point and defensively inside gsd_stall_should_recover.

Also adds the previously-missing integration coverage for gsd_stall_watch's
real execution (grep/find/date plumbing), not just the pure classifier.

* fix(#2650): correct AC2 self-test — helpers doc may name teams-status in prose

The AC2 regression test asserted the stall-detection-helpers.md step file
never contains the substring "teams-status" at all, but the file's own
prose explicitly documents its independence from that guard (containing
the word by design). Narrowed the assertion to what actually matters: no
second `query teams-status` call site and no gating on it, not a blanket
absence of the word.

* test(#2650): regenerate golden install-tree fixtures for the new step file

gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/stall-detection-helpers.md is an
emitted file (installed for every runtime), so adding it changes the
install tree even though it is invisible to docs/INVENTORY.md and
docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json (both explicitly scope to non-recursive
gsd-core/workflows/*.md — verified against the execute-phase #2930 and
pre-existing plan-phase step-file precedent, which are equally absent from
both inventory artifacts). The golden install tree snapshots the sorted
list of emitted relative paths per runtime, so a file invisible to the
inventory is still visible here. Regenerated via `npm run gen:install-tree`
— one line added per runtime fixture (19 files), no other drift.

* fix(#2650): restore 7 ORCHESTRATOR RULE labels; sync runtime-launcher preamble

Two more consequences of extracting helper bodies out of plan-phase.md,
both caught by verification (0017e1a78, 9 unique failures):

1. tests/plan-phase-drift-guard.test.cjs (#913) requires at least 7
   "ORCHESTRATOR RULE — ALL RUNTIMES" labels in plan-phase.md itself, one
   per agent spawn site. Moving the full explanatory blocks to
   plan-phase/steps/stall-detection-helpers.md carried 5 of the 7 labels
   out with them (only the untouched researcher/pattern-mapper sites kept
   theirs). Restored a short label at each of the 5 stall-watch sites,
   trimmed a few more redundant words ("Per 7.99, " — already established
   by the adjacent step-7.99 pointer) to stay under the frozen
   PRE_PHASE6 cap (94497 bytes, 21 bytes headroom).

2. tests/runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs (#373) requires exactly one
   canonical gsd_run preamble, byte-equal to
   gsd-core/workflows/_runtime-launcher.snippet.sh, before the first
   gsd_run call in any workflow .md that calls it (recursive scan under
   gsd-core/workflows/, unlike the non-recursive inventory/step-tag-balance
   checks). The new step file's config-get calls use gsd_run without one.
   Fixed via `node scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs`, verified: exactly 1
   preamble occurrence, before the first call, including the .claude/ and
   .codex/ home fallback arms.

Also verified (no fix needed, evidence recorded): the generic
`gsd-core-verbatim` identity rule in tests/helpers/emitted-provenance.cjs
(roots: ['gsd-core'], pattern matching workflows/.+) self-attributes any
new gsd-core/workflows/** path to itself, so the new step file needs no
drift-ack entry — consistent with plan-phase.md's own net shrinkage
requiring none either.

* test(#2650): acknowledge plan-phase.md's +14 byte drift

Restoring the 5 ORCHESTRATOR RULE — ALL RUNTIMES labels (#913) flipped
plan-phase.md from -142 bytes (post-extraction) to +14 bytes net growth
against baseline (94483 -> 94497), which the differential attribution
size ratchet (tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs) correctly flags as
unacknowledged growth. Added tests/emitted-drift-acks/2650-plan-phase-
stall-detection.json, keyed on the bare filename plan-phase.md per the
existing fragment schema (see tests/emitted-drift-acks/2649-diagnose-
execute-plan-base-check.json), explaining the growth as exactly the 5
restored labels — still verified under the PRE_PHASE6 cap (94497 < 94519)
and satisfying #913's 7-label requirement.

* fix(#2650): bind {outputFile} from the real Agent() return — was dead code

Independent review blocker: PLANNER_OUTPUT_FILE/CHECKER_OUTPUT_FILE were
read by every gsd_stall_watch call but never assigned anywhere in the
diff. With the variable permanently empty, `[ -f "$output_file" ]` was
always false, marker_found could never become true, and marker_received
was unreachable — the marker-based detection path was permanently dead.

Worse for the plan-checker spawn specifically: a checker that PASSES
touches no *-PLAN.md files, so it had no working completion signal at
all without the marker path. A healthy plan-checker finishing cleanly in
two minutes would be declared stalled once planner.stall_threshold_minutes
elapsed and the recovery menu would fire on an already-succeeded agent —
worse than the original unbounded hang.

Fixed by replacing the dead bash variable with the `{outputFile}`
orchestrator-substitution token, the same convention docs-update.md:471
already uses for a real run_in_background=true Agent() return ("Read
tool: file_path: `{outputFile from README agent result}`"). This is a
net BYTE SAVING at each site (`"{outputFile}"` is shorter than
`"$PLANNER_OUTPUT_FILE"`), which funded moving the full binding
explanation — including why plan-checker's *-PLAN.md glob alone is not
a working completion signal — into the lazily-loaded reference file to
stay under the frozen PRE_PHASE6 cap (94496 bytes, 22 headroom; net +13
over baseline, acknowledged in tests/emitted-drift-acks/2650-plan-phase-
stall-detection.json).

Added a regression test asserting plan-phase.md itself binds {outputFile}
at all 5 spawn sites and contains no dangling $PLANNER_OUTPUT_FILE /
$CHECKER_OUTPUT_FILE reference — the previous test suite only exercised
gsd_stall_watch's behavior when handed a valid argument, which is why
the dead production wiring survived two rounds of review. Also fixed
tests/fix-2650-plan-phase-stall-detection.test.cjs:170-195's raw
try/finally to use t.after(), per CONTRIBUTING's test-cleanup convention.

* chore(#2650): backfill changeset PR number to 3015

* fix: normalize CRLF at the read boundary in all .md-bash-extraction tests

Maintainer-authorized scope expansion, folded into this PR rather than
deferred: the Windows CI lane on this PR's own tests/fix-2650-plan-phase-
stall-detection.test.cjs exposed DEFECT.TEST-SHELL-PIPELINE-NONPORTABLE
(CONTEXT.md; recurring since #1700) as a repo-wide latent class, not a
one-off. Ten test files parse a fenced ```bash block out of a workflow
.md file and execute it via spawnSync/execFileSync; a Windows checkout
can yield CRLF line endings despite .gitattributes eol=lf, and bash then
treats the trailing \r on every extracted line as part of the token —
"unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'" or a bare syntax error,
partway through the script.

Added tests/helpers.cjs:readFileNormalized() — strips \r\n -> \n at the
read boundary, before any fence-slicing or regex runs, so every
downstream operation is correct by construction. Migrated all ten call
sites to it:

Previously broken (fs.readFileSync with no normalization anywhere
between read and spawn):
- tests/worktree-cleanup.test.cjs (extractCwdGuardBash) — also fixes a
  misleading comment claiming the fence regex alone was "CRLF-safe"; it
  protected only the fence delimiters, never the captured body.
- tests/new-milestone-clear-phases.test.cjs (extractFenceBetween,
  extractFenceContaining)
- tests/code-review-pipeline-regression.test.cjs (extractPostProcessingScript)
- tests/drift-detection.test.cjs (readGate/bashBlock, plus the snippet-file
  comparison read in the same test)
- tests/graphify-visualization.test.cjs (extractStep3Block)
- tests/pause-work-improvements.test.cjs (extractCheckBlock)
- tests/plan-review-convergence.test.cjs (extractReviewerFlagsParseBlock
  and the inline post-config-gate resolution-block slices)

Already correct (split(/\r?\n/) then join('\n')), migrated to the shared
helper for consistency rather than a fourth/fifth/sixth copy of the same
fix:
- tests/git-base-branch.test.cjs (extractHandleBranchingBash)
- tests/quick-branching.test.cjs (extractStep25Bash)
- tests/runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs (extractResolverSnippet)

Verified against a simulated Windows CRLF checkout (not assumed): for
both the worktree-cleanup.test.cjs and new-milestone-clear-phases.test.cjs
extraction shapes, confirmed the pre-fix code produces a real bash syntax
error on CRLF input and the post-fix code does not.

One eslint follow-up: local/no-crlf-fragile-split statically flags any
bare `\n` inside a markdown-fence-shaped regex, regardless of whether the
receiver was already normalized — it cannot see the readFileNormalized()
data-flow. Kept `\r?\n` in extractCwdGuardBash's fence regex (redundant
but harmless on pre-normalized input) rather than fight the rule.

Scope note: this diff is broader than issue #2650's own change (plan-
phase.md stall detection) because the Windows lane surfaced a genuine
repo-wide defect class while verifying that fix, and the maintainer
authorized fixing it here rather than filing it separately and shipping
a known-broken pattern.

Runtime impact: none — this is a test-harness-only defect. The live
orchestrator (Claude Code or another runtime) does not do a byte-exact
extract-and-pipe of .md content into a shell the way these tests do; it
reads the instructions and generates its own bash invocation text, which
does not reproduce a raw CRLF pass-through the same way.

Not touched: tests/plan-review-convergence.test.cjs's separate, tracked
spawnSync ETIMEDOUT flake under bench load (#3005, reproduced on
unmodified next) — unrelated load-sensitivity, not a CRLF symptom.

* fix(#2650): remove stale drift-ack fragment — plan-phase.md is self-explaining

tests/emitted-drift-acks/2650-plan-phase-stall-detection.json acknowledged
plan-phase.md's own emitted-path hash move, but plan-phase.md is directly
edited in this diff. Per the emitted-attribution law (ADR-2719,
tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs), a workflow's emitted key equals its
own source path (gsd-core-verbatim identity rule), so a direct edit to the
source is self-explaining and auto-attributed — no ack was ever needed.

Verified via the pre-merge lint (scripts/lint-emitted-drift-ack.cjs, run
through npm run lint:ci with a fully cleared eslint cache): it passes clean
with the fragment removed, confirming no contradiction between the lint and
the runtime attribution gate — this was simply an unnecessary fragment.

* fix(#2650): restore plan-phase.md drift-ack — size ratchet demands it against next

tests/emitted-drift-acks/2650-plan-phase-stall-detection.json was deleted in
the previous commit because, against an earlier verification base, it was
inert: it explained a moved emitted hash that a direct edit to plan-phase.md
already self-attributes. Against origin/next@f1af47766a the demand is
different: plan-phase.md is 13 bytes larger than the base copy, which trips
the emitted-attribution size ratchet — a job this same ack also performs.

Recreated in the documented shape, keyed on the bare filename plan-phase.md
(not the full path, and not restating the byte delta per review guidance),
describing the actual change: the {outputFile} binding fix for the dead
PLANNER_OUTPUT_FILE/CHECKER_OUTPUT_FILE variables and the 5 restored
ORCHESTRATOR RULE labels required by #913, both at the stall-watch spawn
sites, with explanatory bodies living in the lazily-loaded
gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/stall-detection-helpers.md reference.

Confirmed no other fragment (on this branch or on next) claims the bare key
"plan-phase.md" before recreating — scripts/lint-emitted-drift-ack.cjs's
duplicate check is an exact string match, and the only other mention of
plan-phase.md in tests/emitted-drift-acks/ (2658-trae-instruction-file-path.json)
uses the full path as its key, so there is no collision.

* fix(#2650): real cause of Windows CI failure — bash -c argv-transport, not CRLF

The CRLF diagnosis for PR #3015's Windows failure was wrong. Proven wrong,
not assumed: .gitattributes' blanket `* text=auto eol=lf` means a Windows
checkout never receives CRLF for stall-detection-helpers.md, and the
extracted fence's line 64 is byte-identical and correctly balanced on every
platform. The real cause: runShouldRecover() passed a 70+ line, quote-dense
script as ONE argv element to `spawnSync('bash', ['-c', script, arg0, ...])`
PLUS four more positional args. Windows has no execve — Node serializes
that whole argv into a single CreateProcess command-line string, and Git
Bash's MSYS layer re-splits and unescapes it with its own rules. The
boundary between the script and the trailing args was not stable across
that round trip (live evidence: one failure's stderr was prefixed
`gsd_stall_should_recover_test:` — arg0 arrived — another `/usr/bin/bash:`
— arg0 did not).

Fixed by writing the script to a temp file and running `bash <file> <args>`
instead — the four values are now normal, quote-free positional args, and
the script itself never enters argv transport at all. Mirrors
tests/quick-branching.test.cjs's extractStep25Bash/runStep, which already
uses this exact shape and is green on Windows on `next`.
tests/worktree-cleanup.test.cjs's extractCwdGuardBash/runGuard stays on
`bash -c` but never appends extra positional args beyond the script itself,
so it never hits the same boundary — checked both siblings per review, not
assumed.

Corrected the now-actively-misleading CRLF comment in
extractStallHelpersBash(), and corrected the changeset's claim that the
repo-wide CRLF-normalization fix (folded into this branch, maintainer-
authorized) explains this PR's own Windows failure — it doesn't, though it
remains defensible on its own merits as general test-portability hardening.

Separately, while auditing the shipped (non-test) gsd_stall_watch for
Windows portability per review request, found and fixed a second, real
user-facing defect: the artifact-freshness check used GNU find's
`-newermt "@<epoch>"` shorthand, which the BSD find(1) actually shipped on
macOS does NOT understand ("Can't parse date/time: @<epoch>", verified live
against /usr/bin/find on both a stale and a genuinely fresh file). With the
adjacent `2>/dev/null`, that failed silently and permanently degraded
artifact_fresh to false on every macOS run — a plan-checker or planner
actively writing plan files could still be reported "stalled." Replaced
with `find $glob -mmin -N` ("modified less than N minutes ago"), which
needs no date-string parsing and is supported identically by GNU find and
BSD find; verified live that the old shape fails and the new shape passes
against the same real fresh file. Added a real-execution regression test
(gsd_stall_watch with `sleep` stubbed to a no-op so the test doesn't
actually wait, but the real `find ... -mmin` line still runs) proving the
fix, replacing the prior "not integration-tested" note for that path.

Note: the remote gsd-test runner is Linux-only, so it cannot itself confirm
the Windows fix — only the actual windows-latest CI lane can.

* fix(#2650): route the third bash -c call site through the same temp-file seam

runWatch() and a `-mmin` regression test still passed their script via
`bash -c <script>` after the previous commit only converted
runShouldRecover() — live Windows CI on 4b86cc57f confirmed the mechanism:
failures went 11 -> 4, and `full test (windows-latest, 22, shard 1/3)` and
`shard 2/3` flipped from fail to pass, but the remaining 4 failures (all in
this file, all still `bash: -c:`) were exactly the gsd_stall_watch describe
block, which runWatch() serves. runWatch() passes NO extra positional args
at all, so this also rules out the trailing-args theory from the prior
commit: the ~73-line, quote-dense script itself is what does not survive
Windows argv serialization when passed as a single `-c` element, regardless
of how many (if any) further argv elements follow it.

Extracted one shared runBashScript(script, args, opts) helper — write to a
fs.mkdtempSync'd file, run `bash <file> [args...]`, clean up in `finally` —
and routed all three bash-invoking call sites in this file through it
(runShouldRecover, runWatch, and the -mmin freshness test that builds its
own script inline for the `sleep` stub). One transport seam means a fourth
call site in this file cannot silently reintroduce the bug in isolation,
which is exactly what happened here with a second call site.

Corrected extractStallHelpersBash()'s doc comment a second time to state
the mechanism precisely (script content, not argv-element count) and cite
the live evidence (11->4 failures, shards 1 and 2 flipping green) so the
next reader does not have to rediscover it.

Audited every other bash-invoking call site in files this branch touches,
per review request:
- tests/code-review-pipeline-regression.test.cjs (runPostProcessing),
  tests/graphify-visualization.test.cjs (runBlock), and
  tests/drift-detection.test.cjs (two execFileSync('bash', ['-c', ...])
  sites, one of them carrying the same giant runtime-launcher preamble
  text) — all pre-existing, UNCHANGED by this branch (only touched for the
  readFileNormalized() CRLF swap), and already exercised on `next`'s last
  six Windows CI runs per the reviewer's own citation. Left as-is: no
  evidence of failure, and converting untested pre-existing code outside
  #2650's scope on an unverifiable guess would be its own risk.
- tests/git-base-branch.test.cjs (runHandleBranchingStep) and
  tests/quick-branching.test.cjs (runStep) already use the same temp-file
  pattern. No action needed.
- tests/runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs (runResolver) uses `bash -c` but
  is explicitly `if (process.platform === 'win32') return '';` guarded off
  on Windows entirely, for an unrelated extension-less-PATH-stub reason —
  never reaches Windows argv transport at all. No action needed.
- tests/worktree-cleanup.test.cjs (runGuard) confirmed by the reviewer as
  correct and verified; not touched, per instruction.

Do not touch: the -mmin fix, the drift-ack fragment, the changeset — all
three confirmed correct in prior rounds and left untouched here.

Note: the remote gsd-test runner is Linux-only and cannot confirm this;
only the windows-latest lanes on #3015 can.

* fix(#2650): give runBashScript a default timeout

runShouldRecover() was the only one of the three call sites through
runBashScript() with no timeout — runWatch() and the -mmin test both pass
timeout: 10000 explicitly. Not a regression (this path never had a bound
before), but CONTEXT.md's unbounded-subprocess guidance applies directly,
and runShouldRecover() is driven repeatedly by a fast-check property test:
one pathological input that fails to terminate would hang CI indefinitely
instead of failing.

timeout: 10000 is now the helper's own default, with ...opts spread after
it so the two existing explicit timeout: 10000 call sites are unchanged
and any future caller inherits a bound automatically.

* fix(#2650): build the -mmin freshness test's glob with forward slashes

Windows CI on d6ddda6ea reported the last failure: the -mmin regression
test expected 'active' but got 'waiting' — find matched nothing, the same
silent-degradation shape as the macOS -newermt defect, but this time in the
test's own fixture rather than the shipped bash.

Traced what production actually passes: every gsd_stall_watch call site in
plan-phase.md builds artifact_glob as `"${PHASE_DIR}"'/*-PLAN.md'` —
PHASE_DIR is a POSIX-style .planning/phases/NN-slug value, and the whole
thing runs under Git Bash regardless of host OS, so production's glob is
always forward-slash. The test instead built it with
`path.join(tmp, '*-PLAN.md')`, which on Windows yields a backslash path
(C:\Users\RUNNER~1\...\*-PLAN.md). In bash pathname expansion a backslash
escapes the next character, so that pattern can never match a real path —
find silently returns empty under the existing 2>/dev/null, same shape as
the macOS bug. Confirmed as a test artifact, not a production defect:
production never constructs the glob this way, so no Windows user is
affected.

Fixed by forward-slashing the tmp dir before appending the glob suffix,
matching production's own convention, with a comment recording why (so a
future "simplify this back to path.join" edit doesn't silently reintroduce
the failure). The shipped bash's unquoted $artifact_glob is untouched —
quoting it would break the multi-file glob expansion it exists for.

Note: the remote runner is Linux-only and already passed clean at
d6ddda6ea (0/29,603, both node lanes); only the windows-latest lanes on
#3015 can confirm this fix.

* fix(#2650): forward-slash the three remaining runWatch globs (vacuous-pass CR)

The :353 fix (833c11da9) only converted the -mmin freshness test's glob.
Three sibling tests in the same describe block still built theirs with
path.join(tmp, '*-PLAN.md'), which yields a backslash path on Windows.

Two of those three were silently passing for the wrong reason: the
'-> stalled' and '-> waiting' tests both expect the glob to match nothing,
and on Windows a backslash path matches nothing regardless of whether the
directory is actually empty (bash eats each backslash as an escape before
the pattern is even evaluated). They would have passed identically with
glob expansion completely broken, which is a vacuous pass — not exercising
what they claim to. The third ('-> marker_received') is outcome-independent
of the glob, so it was merely inconsistent rather than wrong.

Converted all three to the same `${tmp.replace(/\\/g, '/')}/*-PLAN.md`
construction already used at the -mmin test, so every glob in the file now
matches production's own forward-slash `"${PHASE_DIR}"'/*-PLAN.md'` shape,
and the two negative tests are meaningful on Windows instead of accidentally
correct. Reworded the trailing comment on the 'stalled' test's glob line:
it now describes the fixture (the tmp dir contains no *-PLAN.md files)
rather than the pattern, since "matches nothing" read as a property of the
glob syntax when it's a property of what's on disk.

No assertion, the sleep stub, runBashScript, or the shipped bash changed.
Smoke-tested all three updated tests manually before committing (not via
node --test): marker_received / stalled / waiting, all correct.

* fix(#2650): fix own regression tests for #2993's plan-phase.md relocation

531101843's merge with origin/next brought in #2993 (unrelated, epic #1671
Phase 6.2), which extracted plan-phase.md's whole "Chunked Planning Mode"
section into gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/chunked-planning-mode.md,
leaving a <!-- gsd:section --> pointer behind. tests/plan-phase-drift-guard.
test.cjs (#913) was already updated to read the combined surface (host file
+ every steps/*.md) so its label count didn't go blind — my own #2650
regression tests were not, and searched plan-phase.md alone for the two
chunked spawn sites' headings, which no longer exist there. Two tests
failed outright (indexOf returning -1); a third ("standard planner spawn")
was silently weakened to an unbounded slice-to-EOF by the same relocation,
since its own end-boundary heading also moved — passing by accident rather
than by testing what it claimed.

Promoted the drift guard's local readPlanPhaseCombined() to a shared,
exported tests/helpers.cjs readWorkflowCombined(workflowPath) (host file +
sorted steps/*.md, CRLF-normalized at the read boundary) so a second,
divergent implementation is never written — the drift guard now delegates
to it via a same-named local wrapper, unchanged at every existing call site.

Fixed the three affected tests in tests/fix-2650-plan-phase-stall-detection.
test.cjs:
- "standard planner spawn (step 8)": end boundary changed from the now-gone
  "## 8.5. Chunked Planning Mode" heading to "## 9. Handle Planner Return",
  which still exists in plan-phase.md.
- "chunked outline spawn (8.5.1)" / "chunked per-plan spawn (8.5.2)": now
  read gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/steps/chunked-planning-mode.md
  directly (not the generic multi-file combined blob, whose file-sort
  ordering would put unrelated step files between 8.5.2's slice and any
  downstream anchor) — the same heading-to-heading slicing as before still
  works because the file is small and self-contained.
- Extended the "no unbound $PLANNER_OUTPUT_FILE/$CHECKER_OUTPUT_FILE" check
  to also scan chunked-planning-mode.md, since two of the five spawn sites
  now live there.
- Added a new count-based test asserting exactly 5 (not "at least one")
  `gsd_stall_watch "$TS" "{outputFile}"` invocations across the combined
  surface, mirroring #913's own label-count guard, so every one of the five
  spawns stays provably bounded and a future relocation can't silently drop
  one without a test noticing.

Also added a small positive test that plan-phase.md's <!-- gsd:section -->
pointer to chunked-planning-mode.md exists (#2993 is unrelated to #2650 but
its presence is now load-bearing for where 2 of the 5 spawn sites live).

Audited every other test file in the repo for a stale reference to content
#2993 relocated (searched for the moved headings/prose and for
"chunked-planning-mode"/"CHUNKED_MODE" across all *.test.cjs): only this
file and the drift guard needed changes.
tests/issue-2762-plan-reviews-chunked.test.cjs already reads
chunked-planning-mode.md directly (brought in correct by the same merge).
gen-section-manifest.test.cjs, init.test.cjs, and workflow-fragments.test.cjs
reference "chunked-planning-mode" only as a manifest/section-id fixture
value for #2993 itself, not as a stale pointer to relocated content.

Did not touch: the ported ORCHESTRATOR RULE lines, run_in_background=true,
the glob constructions, runBashScript, the -mmin change, the timeout
default, or the drift-ack fragment (confirmed correct against the stale
local `next` ref two rounds ago and left alone).
