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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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)

* 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.

* fix(#4619): feed the bash fixture script via stdin, not argv, to fix Windows CI

Passing the script as a `-c "<script>"` argv element made it subject to
Windows' CreateProcess command-line argument encoding, which silently
dropped the escaped-dot backslashes before bash ever saw them (observed on
PR #4644's windows-latest CI shard: `1\.1` came back as `1.1`). 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.

4cc2a466b5 fix(#4208): add --files-removed so commit --files can record a move without a directory pathspec (#4253)
* fix(#4208): add --files-removed so commit --files can record a move without a directory pathspec

`cmdCommit`'s `--files` list can stage an addition but never a deletion:
the #2014 guard skips a missing explicit entry because the filesystem
cannot tell "moved away" from "not written yet". A caller that moves a
file therefore had two forms, both wrong — a directory entry records the
move but also commits every unrelated file in that directory (a
concurrent session's in-flight todo, in the unattended execute-phase
sweep), and a file entry leaves the old path's deletion dangling with the
todo tracked at both paths.

`--files-removed <paths>` is the caller-declared delete intent. Each entry
names a file, or a directory whose tracked-but-absent files are the
removals; those paths are staged with `git rm --cached` and join the
commit pathspec. `--files` keeps its skip-if-missing contract untouched.
A file entry still present on disk fails the commit closed with the
existing staging-failure rollback; a never-tracked path is a no-op.
`--files-removed` alone is a declared scope, not the unscoped .planning/
sweep.

The dispatcher previously folded every non-flag token after `--files`
into that list, so a second list flag could not exist; each list now
runs from its flag to the next `--` token.

The execute-phase todo sweep names the moved todos on both sides from
CLOSED[@], and cleanup's archive commit moves .planning/phases/ and
.planning/quick/ under --files-removed.

Fixes #4208

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: cleanup.md — the archive commit moves phases/ and quick/ under --files-removed; the growth is one paragraph stating why those two directories must not be --files entries

* chore(#4208): set changeset fragment pr to 4253

* fix(#4208): fit execute-phase.md under the ADR-857 ceiling and re-point the #2415 guard

Three CI failures, all consequences of this PR's own change.

1. gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase.md was 93,577 bytes against the
   ADR-857 Phase 6 margin gate's <= 93,400 (hard ceiling 93,600). The
   three-line rationale comment plus the four-line array-building block
   added 318 bytes to a file that had only 141 of headroom on next.

   Move the rationale to docs/CLI-TOOLS.md -- which this PR already
   extends with the --files-removed contract, and which is where the
   ADR-857 gate wants call-site detail to live rather than in the host
   workflow -- and fold the array build onto one line. 93,577 -> 93,372.

2/3. tests/close-phase-todos-stage-deletion.test.cjs pinned the #2415
   guarantee to its old MECHANISM: it regex-matched the literal
   .planning/todos/{completed,pending}/ directory pathspecs in the
   commit --files list. This PR deliberately replaced those with named
   files (a directory entry also committed an unrelated todo a
   concurrent session dropped in mid-close), so the guard failed on a
   change it should have accepted.

   Re-point it at the new mechanism without weakening it: assert the
   ADDED array reaches --files, the REMOVED array reaches
   --files-removed, STATE.md is still committed, and -- newly -- that
   the two arrays are built from $COMPLETED_DIR and $PENDING_DIR
   respectively. Verified by negative control: deleting
   --files-removed "${REMOVED[@]}" from the workflow still fails the
   test, so the #2415 regression remains caught.

Note for the merge queue: #4233 also grows execute-phase.md (+114). The
two are additive -- different regions, no textual conflict -- so with
both landed the file reaches ~93,486, over the 93,400 margin though
under the 93,600 hard ceiling. Whichever merges second will need to
reclaim ~86 bytes.

* fix(#4208): reclaim execute-phase.md bytes so the PR is net-neutral under the ADR-857 margin

Rebasing onto next surfaced the byte-gate collision flagged earlier on
this PR: #4284 grew execute-phase.md by 95 bytes (93,259 -> 93,354),
so this PR's +113 landed at 93,467 against the <= 93,400 margin in
tests/claude-orchestration.test.cjs.

Compact the close_phase_todos step this PR already edits -- drop the
PHASE_NUM indirection, fold the normaliser and the match guard, print
the closed list with one printf, shorten the step's prose -- without
touching the mechanism the #2415 guard pins (ADDED/REMOVED arrays, the
plain mv). 93,467 -> 93,349: 5 bytes under the base, so the PR no
longer spends any of next's 46 bytes of headroom.

* fix(#4208): classify absent index entries before staging a removal; restore removed entries exactly on rollback

Review of #4253 found three Majors with one root cause: the removal
side judged presence by fs.lstatSync alone, where the addition side
already reads `git ls-files -v` state. Absence from the worktree is not
removal:

- a submodule gitlink (mode 160000) whose directory was deleted by hand
  lists like a file and was `rm --cached` with no .gitmodules cleanup;
- a skip-worktree path is never materialised by a cone-mode sparse
  checkout, so a directory entry over a sparse-excluded tree dropped
  that whole tree from the index;
- an assume-unchanged path's worktree state is not something git
  itself consults;
- an intent-to-add entry (`git add -N`) renders as a plain cached entry
  on the empty blob, yet nothing tracked exists to remove and no
  rollback can restore the flag.

The index listing now carries each entry's `ls-files -v -s` tag, mode
and stage. Only a plain cached (H), stage-0, non-gitlink entry is a
removal candidate; every other state is left alone under a directory
entry (exactly like a present file) and fails closed when named
directly, with the state in the error. "Named directly" is decided on
RESOLVED paths, not strings -- realpath of the longest existing prefix
with the absent tail re-appended: an absolute path, `./x`, `--cwd`, or a
symlinked spelling of the tree (macOS `/var` ->
`/private/var`, where `process.cwd()` is the real path and the caller's
absolute path is not -- CI on this round's first push) all resolve to the
same entry, where a string compare against git's cwd-relative output
silently took the directory polarity (pre-push review, driven; the
symlink case is driven with an aliased fixture directory). The enumeration's domain is what
`ls-files -v -s` can emit for an index entry, stated at the classifier.

The third Major -- on an unborn HEAD a successful `rm --cached` was
never rolled back when a later entry failed -- is fixed differently
from the review's suggestion. Pushing the path into stagedPaths would
put it on the commit pathspec, which a root commit refuses ("pathspec
did not match", driven), and `git reset -- <path>` cannot restore an
entry with no HEAD anyway. Instead every index entry this call removes
is recorded (mode, blob) before the `rm` and put back with
`update-index --cacheinfo` on rollback. That also restores a
caller-pre-staged blob at a removed path exactly, where a reset would
have silently replaced it with HEAD's version. The rollback is
best-effort, as the addition-side reset already was, and the docs say
so.

Eight tests: gitlink under a directory entry, named directly, and named
by absolute path; skip-worktree both forms; intent-to-add both forms;
assume-unchanged named; unborn-HEAD partial failure restores the
removal; pre-staged blob survives the rollback.

* fix(#4208): a boolean flag inside a commit path list no longer ends the list

Review minor on #4253: collectList stopped at the next `--` token, so a
positional wedged between a boolean flag and the next list flag
(`--files a --amend b --files-removed c`) was claimed by neither list
and silently dropped -- a regression in shape against the old
slice-to-end parse, which filtered `--` tokens and kept `b`. No current
call site interleaves that way, but the gap was real.

A list now runs to the next LIST flag (`--files` / `--files-removed`)
and skips boolean flags on the way, and a REPEATED list flag merges
its runs (`--files a --files b` -> [a, b]) as the slice-to-end parse
did -- a first cut stopped at the repeat and dropped `b`, the same
silent-drop shape one level over (pre-post comment audit). The only
change #4208 makes to parsing is that a second list flag can exist.
Tests: STATE.md wedged between --no-verify and --files-removed lands
in the commit; both runs of a repeated --files reach it.

* test(#4208): drive the reappearance window with a post-index-change hook

Review nit on #4253: the defensive re-check for a file recreated between
the absence test and `git rm --cached` -- the concurrent-session race
this PR's own changeset names -- had no test. git fires
post-index-change the moment `rm --cached` writes the index, so a hook
that copies the file back exactly then exercises the window
deterministically. The call reports staging_failed / "reappeared on
disk", commits nothing, and the rollback restores the removed entry.

* fix(#4208): restore a staged removal when the call records nothing

A `git rm --cached` that succeeds mutates the index whether or not a commit
follows. Only the staging-failure rollback put those entries back, so a call
that reached `nothing_to_commit` reported no state change while the removal sat
staged -- riding along on the caller's next commit.

The review named the unborn-HEAD, removal-only shape. Keying on `headExists`
would have fixed half of it: the guard also fires with a real HEAD when the
removed path is index-only (added, never committed), because `diff HEAD` reads
clean with the path absent on both sides. Both shapes now restore, at both
`nothing_to_commit` exits. The failure exits are deliberately left alone --
they report a failure rather than no-change, and the addition side leaves its
own staged paths there too.

* refactor(#4208): lift declared-removal staging out of the cmdCommit hotspot

`cmdCommit` was a critical-risk hotspot before this flag existed, and #4208 had
inlined another ~270 lines into it. `stageDeclaredRemovals(cwd, removedDeclared)`
now owns the index-state classification, path canonicalisation and entry
recording, returning the pathspec entries and the recorded removals its caller
merges.

Pure motion: no branch, message or probe changed. Only the two accumulators
became local names, and `restoreRemovedEntries` stays with the caller because
the exits that restore are the caller's. cmdCommit 888 -> 625 lines here; the
extracted helper is 277.

(Figures corrected after publication: an earlier version of this message said
854 -> 591 and claimed the result was below cmdCommit's pre-#4208 shape. Both
were wrong -- the count came from a faulty brace scanner, and `next`'s cmdCommit
is 581, so this is above it, not below.)

* test(#4208): property-test the two-list commit parser

RULESET.TESTS.property-based-testing asks a parser for at least one property
test asserting a domain invariant; `collectList` had only hand-picked examples,
one per shape a review round had already broken.

Hoisted it to module scope as `collectListFlagValues` and exported it in the
file's existing exported-for-tests convention -- a parser reachable only by
spawning the CLI can be tested one example at a time and no faster.

Three properties over generated argv: every positional lands in exactly the run
open at it whatever the flag order or count; no positional after the first list
flag is dropped or double-claimed; and with `--files-removed` absent the parse
equals the pre-#4208 slice-to-end parse. Controlled against two mutants -- a run
ending at any `--` token, and a repeated list flag that does not merge -- each
of which the properties catch.

execute-phase.md's rewrite is pinned by the #2415 guard in this file;
cleanup.md's equivalent was not, so reverting its routing would have been
caught by nothing -- the mechanism's unit tests never read this file and pass
either way.

Asserts the two archived directories are under --files-removed and NOT under
--files (where a directory entry sweeps in a concurrent session's in-flight
writes), and that the destinations and STATE.md stay on the additive half.
Controlled by restoring the pre-#4208 sweep, which fails it.

* test(#4208): pin that a symlink to a directory is one tracked path

Review of #4253 read the `lstatSync(...).isDirectory()` test as a
symlink-following defect. Driving it says the opposite: git tracks the link as
a single blob (mode 120000) and does not traverse it, so the tracked paths
"under" it live at the real directory and were never named by the caller.
Following the link would stage those -- the directory sweep #4208 exists to
remove -- while the named entry still sat present on disk.

Pinned rather than changed, with the premise driven in the test body. Swapping
`lstatSync` for `statSync` -- the prescription as written -- fails it.

* fix(#4208): report a removal the call could not put back

Round review of this round found the restore itself unchecked: the helper
ignored `update-index`'s exit code, so a FAILED restore still reported
`nothing_to_commit` -- the same false "no state changed" the restore exists to
prevent, surviving one level down on the restore-failure path.

It now returns a boolean. The two no-change exits report `staging_failed`
naming the paths left staged; the staging-failure rollback still ignores it,
deliberately, because it is already reporting a failure and an unwritable index
is usually the failure being reported.

Driven with a post-index-change hook that makes the git dir unwritable the
moment `rm --cached` lands, so the restore cannot take its lock. Reverting both
guards fails the test.

* fix(#4208): disclose a removal the rollback could not restore

Round review refuted the reasoning behind leaving the rollback path's restore
unchecked. The claim was that this exit is already reporting a failure, so the
restore's result adds nothing. The counterexample is the ordinary case: the
reported failure is usually a DIFFERENT cause -- a contradictory declaration, a
reappeared path -- so a caller reading `failures` sees only that cause and
learns nothing about the removal still sitting in its index.

The rollback now appends a disclosure entry per un-restored removal, naming the
path. The reason and `file` still report the failure that caused the rollback;
the disclosure is additive.

Also moves the restore-failure test's chmod into a `finally`: `t.after` runs
AFTER the parent `afterEach`, so a throw before it left the fixture undeletable.

Both driven; reverting the disclosure fails the new test.

* fix(#4208): decide index state by observation, never by an exit code

The restore added two commits earlier keyed both its record decision and its
success verdict on git's exit code. An exit code answers "did the command
succeed", never "did the index change" -- execGit collapses a spawn timeout to
a non-zero exit, and a killed git can already have written the index. Round
review drove four failures from that one assumption, in both directions:

  - a failed `rm` still contributed an entry, so the rollback disclosed a
    removal that was never staged (stale index.lock);
  - a timed-out `rm` whose write DID land contributed none, so a real mutation
    was neither restored nor disclosed;
  - a timed-out `update-index` whose write landed reported failure, publishing
    a "could NOT be restored" disclosure that was false;
  - and the read-back that replaced it omitted `-z`, so core.quotePath rendered
    `café.md` as `"caf\303\251.md"` and an exactly-restored entry read as not
    restored -- the same quoting defect this PR already fixed for `preStaged`.

Everything now observes the index. A failed `rm` re-reads `ls-files -z` for the
path: gone means this call owns the removal and records it; still there means
nothing was staged; a probe that cannot answer becomes its own failure entry
rather than an assumption. The restore verifies the same way, comparing the
WHOLE entry (mode, blob, stage), because `--cacheinfo` restores all three and a
path-only test accepts an entry that came back as something else.

The verdict is three-valued -- `restored` / `not-restored` / `unverified` --
and the unverified wording says the restore could not be VERIFIED rather than
that it failed. The rm's own failure is pushed ahead of any probe diagnostic so
a timed-out removal keeps `timed_out: true` and its own message as the reported
cause.

Five regression cases, each negative-controlled against the shape it pins.

* fix(#4208): treat a declared removal path as a path, not a pathspec

An index path handed back to git is parsed as a PATHSPEC, and the removal side
handed several back. Three driven harms, all of them the sweep-in this flag
exists to remove, arriving through the operand rather than through a directory
entry:

  - a tracked file literally named `.planning/*.md` made `rm --cached` GLOB: it
    removed `peer.md` and `stays.md` too, only the declared entry was recorded,
    so the rollback restored one of three and the other two rode out as staged
    deletions the result disclosed nowhere;
  - the same name reached `git commit -- <paths>`, which globbed and committed
    an undeclared `M peer.md` alongside the declared removal;
  - and the intent-to-add probe (`diff --cached` over the path) matched a
    STAGED PEER instead of itself, so an `add -N` entry was misclassified as
    ordinary content, removed, and restored by `--cacheinfo` -- which cannot
    restore the intent flag. It came back as a real staged addition.

Every operand on this path is now `:(literal)`: the `rm`, both index probes,
the intent-to-add probe, the restore read-back, the entry-level `ls-files` /
`ls-tree`, and -- for the REMOVAL-derived entries only -- the downstream
`ls-files` / dry-run / `diff HEAD` / `commit` pathspec. `--files` entries keep
whatever pathspec behaviour they have today; that is not this change's to
alter. `:(literal)` still resolves a directory to its descendants (driven), so
the directory form is unchanged.

Closes what an earlier cut of this commit declared as a residual: a filename
beginning with `:` is now removable end to end, because the commit pathspec no
longer reinterprets it.

Also fixes a MINOR from the same review: cleanup.md's contract test checked the
destinations' position relative to `--files-removed` but never that `--files`
was present at all, so deleting the flag still passed.

Un-literalising the seven sites fails three of the new tests.

* fix(#4208): scope the rollback to the caller's own name space

Round review drove a rollback that destroyed the caller's own staged work. Two
causes, one of them pre-existing:

  - `git diff --cached` prints REPO-relative paths whatever the cwd, while
    `stagedPaths` holds the caller's cwd-relative names. In a project nested
    inside its repo (`<repo>/sub/.planning/...`) the two name spaces never
    intersect, so `preStaged` matched NOTHING, every path landed in `toUnstage`,
    and the reset unstaged a caller-staged deletion and modification that this
    call had never touched. `--relative` makes the two sets comparable, and is a
    no-op when the project IS the repo root. This governs the `--files` side too
    and predates this flag.
  - the rollback's `reset` was the last place a removal-derived name reached git
    as a bare pathspec; it takes `asPathspec` like every other site.

Driven on a nested fixture; dropping `--relative` fails the new test.

* test(#4208): gate six fixtures that Windows cannot construct

CI's `test (windows-latest, 24, shard 2/3)` went red on this round. Two
primitives the new fixtures rely on do not exist on Windows, both driven on a
real Windows host rather than inferred:

  - a filename containing `*` or `:` cannot be created at all (`IOException` /
    `FileNotFoundException`), which is four of the pathspec fixtures;
  - `chmod` cannot make a directory unwritable — a write into a ReadOnly
    directory succeeds — so the two restore-failure fixtures cannot drive the
    failure they exist to drive.

Each is skipped on win32 with its measured reason, in the repo's existing
`{ skip: process.platform === 'win32' ? '<reason>' : false }` form. The
behaviours they pin are platform-independent; only the fixtures are not.

* test(#4208): build git's index-syntax path with forward slashes

The remaining Windows red was mine, not the platform's: `git rev-parse :<path>`
takes a forward-slash path, and `path.join` yields backslashes there, so git
rejected it as an ambiguous argument. The hook in the same test already used
the slash form.

Not gated — the behaviour it pins is portable; only the argument was not.

`next` gained the macOS-specific conformance tier (#4593) after this branch
was cut. Its classifier (`scripts/gen-platform-conformance-tier.cjs --target
macos`) now selects `tests/commit-files-deletion.test.cjs` on the
`chmod-mode-bit` and `symlink-keyword` signals the PR's fixtures carry (the
chmod-driven failed-restore cases and the symlink-to-directory case).
Regenerated with `--target macos --write`; the platform tier was already in
sync. The file was modified, not added, which is why the added-files check
did not surface it.

2cefa5a5ac enhance(#4139): Phase 8 — the toggle becomes discoverable, and the ledger closes (#4587)
* enhance(#4139): Phase 8 — the toggle becomes discoverable, and the ledger closes

ADR-4139's final phase. workflow.compact_content already defaulted to false
(Phase 1's buildNewProjectConfig hardcoded default), but nothing surfaced it:
/gsd-new-project never asked, and /gsd-settings/config had no toggle path for
an already-initialized project — config-set/config-get were the only route.

new-project.md gains a fourth question in the existing Round 2 AskUserQuestion
array (grouped with the other general-workflow-behavior toggles, not the
per-agent capability questions above it) and threads compact_content into the
config-new-project CLI JSON literal. settings.md mirrors the exact pattern
every other non-capability workflow.* key already follows: read_current bullet,
question block, update_config write, the safe-merge non-capability-keys list,
save_as_defaults, and the confirm summary table — seven edits, zero new
src/*.cts code, since Phase 1's merge logic is a generic passthrough. Its
success_criteria question-count ("24 settings") is bumped to 25 to match the
now-25-entry main AskUserQuestion batch.

settings-advanced.md deliberately does NOT get a duplicate question: no other
boolean toggle in this repo is asked in both settings.md and
settings-advanced.md, and there's no reason to start with this one.

docs/CONFIGURATION.md, docs/USER-GUIDE.md, and a new docs/features/4139-compact-
content.md fragment (regenerated into docs/FEATURES.md) document the toggle.

ADR-4139 itself: Status flips Proposed -> Accepted, the acceptance-criteria
section becomes a guard ledger — a 13-row table covering all 12 of #4139's
original checkboxes plus the shipped-content guard criterion, each with real
evidence (the merged PR that satisfied it, fetched via `gh issue view
--json closedByPullRequestsReferences` rather than asserted from phase
numbers) — and both "Open questions for the implementation phases" are
resolved rather than left dangling: discuss-phase was never converted to
spine+detail shape (verified: no detail/ subdir exists) — a genuine gap, not a
reasoned decline; the disjointness check is confirmed line-based by reading
compact-content-split.cjs's normalizeNonTrivialLines directly.

Orthogonal review (isolated Standards/Spec code-review + security-review
sub-agents) found and this fixes two real defects: the changeset fragment's
body didn't match CONTRIBUTING.md's single em-dash-sentence format (was
multi-sentence prose naming implementation file paths); and settings.md's own
success_criteria still said "24 settings" after the new question pushed the
main batch to 25. Also fixed, found by the Spec pass while confirming
commands/gsd/settings.md correctly needed no sync edit: that file and its
skills/gsd-settings/SKILL.md twin both still described "Interactive 5-question
prompt (model, research, plan_check, verifier, branching)", stale since long
before this phase (the batch has had far more than 5 questions for a while) —
replaced with a description that names the current set without hardcoding a
count that will drift again.

gsd-test (real run, sha 1da78fe2) caught a third real regression the local
sweep missed: new-project.md is a registered spine+detail split for Phase 4's
token-reduction benchmark (scripts/benchmark-compact-content.cjs), and the new
question's +167 tokens drifted the committed baseline
(tests/fixtures/compact-content-benchmark-baseline.json). The benchmark itself
is designed never to fail CI on drift, but the test asserting the COMMITTED
baseline is currently non-drifted correctly caught it. Regenerated via
`node scripts/benchmark-compact-content.cjs --write`; re-verified --check now
reports "up to date" and the test file passes 27/27.

Closes #4408.
Closes #4139.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: new-project.md — new 4th Round-2 AskUserQuestion entry (Compact Content, #4139) plus the config-new-project CLI JSON field and explanatory sentence; a new opt-in toggle needs new prose.
Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: settings.md — new workflow.compact_content read_current bullet, question block, update_config write, safe-merge key, save_as_defaults field, and confirm summary row (the same seven-edit pattern every other non-capability workflow.* toggle already follows), plus the 24->25 success_criteria count fix found in review.

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).

* 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).

* 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.

* fix(#4406): resolve removed-but-needed lint findings on the dead-template deletion

CI's own full-test matrix (not gsd-test's matrix, which does not run this
check) caught 4 more false-positive dead-template classifications via
tests/removed-but-needed-lint.test.cjs / scripts/lint-removed-but-needed.cjs
— a literal, word-boundary basename check across .github/workflows/,
gsd-core/, and docs/ (excluding docs/adr/** and docs/research/**) for every
file a PR deletes. It has no semantic awareness, so a deleted template's
basename colliding with something else entirely still fires:

- claude-md.md: gsd-core/templates/README.md had a stale table row claiming
  /gsd-profile reads this template to generate CLAUDE.md. Verified false (no
  code reads it anywhere, same search that already covered bin/install.js) —
  fixed the row to *(inline)*, matching every other command-generated
  artifact in that table. File stays deleted.
- codebase/testing.md: collided with docs/guides/testing.md, an illustrative
  example row in docs-update.md's sample output table (an unrelated real
  generated-docs path). Swapped the example topic to "contributing" — the
  row is illustrative, any topic works. File stays deleted.
- codebase/architecture.md, codebase/stack.md: collided with docs/reference/
  planning-artifacts.md's directory listing of a user's own generated
  .planning/codebase/architecture.md and stack.md output — the same
  semantic mismatch already investigated and dismissed as unrelated earlier
  in this phase's audit, now caught by a gate instead of judgment. That
  listing repeats across 5 locale copies of the doc.
- continue-here.md: collided with the real .continue-here.md pause-work
  artifact, referenced across 15+ locale and workflow files.

For the last two, the lint's own error message offers "restore the file or
update every consumer in the same commit." Rewording 15+ files across
languages I cannot verify translation quality for, to shave 2 already-tiny
templates that were merely presumed dead, is disproportionate to this PR's
actual scope — restored codebase/architecture.md, codebase/stack.md, and
continue-here.md instead, and corrected docs/ARCHITECTURE.md's Templates
section accordingly.

Final confirmed-dead set: claude-md.md, codebase/concerns.md,
codebase/conventions.md, codebase/integrations.md, codebase/structure.md,
codebase/testing.md, debug-subagent-prompt.md, discovery.md — 8 files, down
from the original 12. Verified locally: GSD_REMOVED_BUT_NEEDED_BASE=next
node scripts/lint-removed-but-needed.cjs now passes clean.

* 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).

511c900052 fix(#4458): reuse detectSubRepos for new-project.md's sub-repo detection (#4548)
* fix(#4458): reuse detectSubRepos for new-project.md's sub-repo detection

new-project.md's Step 5.1 (Sub-Repo Detection) ran its own bash predicate:

  find . -maxdepth 1 -type d -not -name ".*" -not -name "node_modules" \
    -exec test -d "{}/.git" \; -print

`test -d` requires .git to be a DIRECTORY. A linked git worktree's .git is
a FILE (a `gitdir: <path>` pointer), so this predicate silently excluded
valid linked-worktree children while still finding ordinary clones.

src/core-utils.cts's detectSubRepos(cwd) already handles this correctly
(fs.existsSync, type-agnostic) but had zero callers anywhere in the
codebase -- orphaned logic the workflow never actually used, despite
duplicating a narrower version of the same check inline.

Wired detectSubRepos into cmdInitNewProject's JSON output as a new
sub_repos_detected field (matching the file's existing pattern of
similar directory-scan-derived fields like has_existing_code/
is_brownfield/has_codebase_map) and replaced the workflow's raw find
fence with a gsd_run query init.new-project call reading that field --
removing the duplicate, narrower detection logic entirely rather than
patching it in place, per the issue's own "reuse a central policy"
framing.

Added the missing .git-as-FILE test case to the existing
tests/core-utils.test.cjs detectSubRepos coverage (proving the helper
was already correct -- the defect was entirely in the unwired workflow
predicate) plus CLI-level end-to-end coverage in
tests/init-manager.test.cjs using a REAL `git worktree add` fixture,
matching the issue's own reproduction steps, alongside an ordinary
child-clone case and a non-repository-directory negative case.

Refreshed tests/fixtures/compact-content-benchmark-baseline.json (gsd-test
caught the drift from new-project.md's byte-count change; the benchmark
script itself always exits 0 -- report, not gate -- but the wrapper test
enforces the committed baseline stays in sync).

* fix(#4458): bound the new git worktree add spawn with a named timeout

CI's lint-tests caught two ESLint findings my local gsd-test run
couldn't see (gsd-test's matrix doesn't run npm run lint:ci -- same gap
already observed on #4456's PR):

- local/no-unbounded-spawn: the new execFileSync('git', ['worktree',
  'add', ...]) call had no timeout, an indefinite-hang risk.
- local/no-adhoc-timeout-literal: my first fix (a bare `timeout: 15_000`
  literal) was itself flagged -- two independent hardcoded copies of a
  guessed timeout can silently drift or collide (this repo hit exactly
  that on 2026-09-06, PR #4428).

Fixed by importing GIT_FIXTURE_TIMEOUT_MS from tests/helpers/timeouts.cjs
-- `git worktree add` checks out files into a new working tree, the same
"construction" weight class as init/config/add/commit that constant
already covers, not plain plumbing (GIT_TIMEOUT_MS's class).

Verified via `npm run lint` directly (clean) before re-running gsd-test.

* fix(#4458): reduce redundant git subprocess overhead in new tests

CI's full-test Windows shard 2/3 failed: chunk 1/9 (306 files) exceeded
its internal 600s budget and was force-killed, with an unrelated file
(codex-config.test.cjs) in flight at the moment of the kill -- meaning
the chunk's AGGREGATE runtime, not any single hang, blew the budget.

This PR's own three new tests each independently called
createTempGitProject() (git init + a commit), and one of them also runs
git worktree add -- real subprocess spawns, each Defender-scanned on
Windows CI (tests/helpers/timeouts.cjs's own documented rationale for
why Windows spawn classes get generous budgets). That's a genuine,
quantifiable overhead addition to the exact chunk that timed out, not
something to wave off as unrelated flake without checking.

Two of the three tests never actually needed a real git repo --
detectSubRepos only inspects a CHILD directory's own .git, never the
root's git state, and the existing SUBCOMMANDS loop earlier in this same
file already proves `init new-project` succeeds against a plain,
non-git createTempProject() fixture. Switched those two tests to the
lighter fixture, leaving only the one test that genuinely needs a real
repo (git worktree add requires one) on createTempGitProject().

c6df4e1e46 fix(#4455): autonomous.md and complete-milestone.md resolve STATE/ROADMAP/MILESTONES/PROJECT/REQUIREMENTS through the workstream-scoped init fields (#4542)
* fix(#4455): thread workstream-scoped paths through autonomous and complete-milestone workflows

autonomous.md and complete-milestone.md read/wrote hardcoded literal
`.planning/STATE.md` / `.planning/ROADMAP.md` / `.planning/milestones/...`
paths in their shell fences, bypassing workstream scoping entirely. With
GSD_WORKSTREAM=alpha set, planningDir(cwd) correctly resolves into
workstreams/alpha/, but a literal `cat .planning/STATE.md` still read the
ROOT file (or silently returned empty if root state was absent) --
reproduced deterministically in the issue's own repro.

Root cause: each workflow step's bash fence is a separate shell
invocation, and cmdInitManager/cmdInitCompleteMilestone's JSON payloads
never carried resolved state_path/roadmap_path/archive_dir fields for the
workflows to extract -- unlike cmdInitPlanPhase, which already does this
correctly and is the pattern this fix mirrors.

- src/init.cts: cmdInitManager and cmdInitCompleteMilestone now emit
  state_path/roadmap_path (workstream-scoped via planningDir(cwd),
  existence-checked, toPosixPath'd, null when absent -- identical to
  cmdInitPlanPhase's existing contract) and archive_dir (the milestone
  archive directory, composed the same way milestone.cts's already-correct
  archive helper does per #1911).
- autonomous.md: discover_phases and iterate now extract state_path via
  the already-fetched INIT_MANAGER payload instead of hardcoding
  `.planning/STATE.md`; iterate's second, previously-separate hardcoded
  read is folded into the same fence (no double-fetch); lifecycle step 5b
  checks the resolved archive_dir instead of a hardcoded milestones path.
- complete-milestone.md's reorganize_roadmap_and_delete_originals step
  (which previously called no init command at all) now fetches
  init.complete-milestone and uses the resolved roadmap_path/state_path/
  archive_dir for the backlog read, the write-guard sentinel's armed
  content, the Write-tool target for the reorganized ROADMAP.md (the
  sentinel fence now echoes the resolved path so the executing agent can
  see it), and the safety-commit --files list. `.planning/MILESTONES.md`
  and `.planning/PROJECT.md` stay literal root paths -- documented shared
  files, per the issue's explicit "not a blanket replacement" scope.

Regression tests extract and execute the real bash fences (with a stubbed
gsd_run) rather than string-matching the markdown, covering flat mode
(unaffected), an active workstream (the issue's own repro shape, now
correctly resolving), the no-double-fetch requirement, and a dedicated
guard locking MILESTONES.md/PROJECT.md as shared.

* docs(#4455): add changeset for workstream-scoped autonomous/complete-milestone fix

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

* fix(#4455): close write-guard gap on workstream-scoped curated paths

Isolated security review of the #4455 fix (workstream-scoped STATE/
ROADMAP/milestone-archive path resolution in autonomous.md and
complete-milestone.md) flagged that hooks/gsd-write-guard.js's
CURATED_PATTERNS only matched root-level .planning/ paths, never
.planning/[<project>/]workstreams/<ws>/... — meaning the catastrophic-
shrink guard silently never engaged for a workstream-scoped write.
This is directly relevant here: the #4455 change makes a workstream-
scoped ROADMAP.md Write reachable via complete-milestone.md's own
explicit sentinel-hatch instructions, which assume guard protection
that did not actually exist for that path shape. Extended
CURATED_PATTERNS with the three workstream-scoped equivalents;
consumeSentinelFor's own path-derivation logic needed no change since
it derives from the actual write target. Verified empirically (a
293->16 line workstream ROADMAP.md shrink now correctly returns
exit 2 / decision:"block") and with 5 new regression tests.

Also addressed a code-review nit on the core #4455 fix:
cmdInitCompleteMilestone called planningDir(cwd) three separate
times instead of caching it once.

Accepted as-is (not fixed): complete-milestone.md's
reorganize_roadmap_and_delete_originals step re-fetches
`gsd_run query init.complete-milestone` three times across its
fences rather than merging the first two (no state-changing Write
between them, unlike autonomous.md's iterate step which does merge).
This is an efficiency nit, not a correctness bug — merging risks
disrupting the step's prose flow and its existing binding test for a
non-functional gain.

* docs(#4455): add changeset for the write-guard workstream-scope fix

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

* fix(#4455): fix gsd-test-surfaced regressions from workstream-path fix

Running gsd-test against the full #4455 diff (including the write-guard
security fix and the cmdInitCompleteMilestone caching nit) surfaced four
real, non-flaky failures, all direct consequences of editing
gsd-core/workflows/autonomous.md and complete-milestone.md:

1. tests/autonomous-converge.test.cjs pinned the OLD hardcoded
   `STATE_CONTENT=$(cat .planning/STATE.md ...)` read in both
   discover_phases and iterate. That is exactly the literal-path
   behavior #4455 fixes, so the test needed updating to assert the new
   init.manager-resolved `STATE_PATH` read instead (with an explicit
   doesNotMatch guard against regressing to the old literal).

2. tests/workstream-scoped-paths.test.cjs's own "no-double-fetch" test
   counted gsd_run invocations via a shell variable incremented inside
   the stub function — but `INIT_MANAGER=$(gsd_run ...)` runs gsd_run
   inside the command-substitution SUBSHELL, so that increment never
   survives back to the parent shell and the counter always read 0.
   Switched to a file-based call log (one byte appended per call),
   which survives the subshell boundary.

3. tests/compact-content-partition-guard.test.cjs's disjointness check
   flagged the reorganize_roadmap_and_delete_originals step's new
   `INIT_CM=$(gsd_run query init.complete-milestone)` fetch (added 3x,
   per the accepted-as-is disposition in the prior commit) as
   byte-identical to a pre-existing, unrelated fetch already present in
   complete-milestone/detail/elaboration.md's handle_branches section
   (§2). Same idiom, same conventional variable name, coincidentally
   colliding across the spine/detail split boundary. Renamed the new
   step's local variable to INIT_REORG — a distinct, purpose-specific
   name is arguably better practice anyway for two logically unrelated
   fetches, and it removes the literal collision honestly rather than
   restructuring the split.

4. tests/benchmark-compact-content.test.cjs reported real byte-count
   drift in the committed baseline (autonomous.md and
   complete-milestone.md both grew from the #4455 content). Refreshed
   via `node scripts/benchmark-compact-content.cjs --write`.

Verified: node scripts/benchmark-compact-content.cjs --check now
reports the baseline up to date; a standalone invocation of
checkDisjointness() against the real repo state now reports zero
violations across all 6 registered splits; manual bash-fence execution
of both the autonomous.md iterate fence (call count = 1) and the
complete-milestone.md backlog fence (with INIT_REORG) confirms correct
behavior.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: autonomous.md — #4455 workstream-scoped STATE.md path resolution replaces hardcoded literal reads

* fix(#4455): MILESTONES.md/PROJECT.md/REQUIREMENTS.md are workstream-scoped too, and so is project-only mode

Fresh isolated code-review and security-review passes against the full
diff (run after the previous gsd-test-surfaced fixups landed) each
found one real, confirmed defect:

Code review: the safety-commit `--files` list and the REQUIREMENTS.md
`git rm` step both hardcoded `.planning/MILESTONES.md`,
`.planning/PROJECT.md`, and `.planning/REQUIREMENTS.md` as literal
root paths — but src/milestone.cts's cmdMilestoneComplete writes
MILESTONES.md via `planningPaths(cwd).planning` (the workstream base)
and PROJECT.md/REQUIREMENTS.md resolve the same way through
`planningPaths().project`/`.requirements` (src/planning-workspace.cts).
Only `todos` is the documented root-scoped exception (#4256); an
earlier version of this fix wrongly generalized that exception to
MILESTONES.md/PROJECT.md too, and the now-corrected test previously
enshrined that wrong behavior as intended. Under an active workstream,
the safety commit would have silently missed the actual files
`milestone complete` just wrote, and the git-rm step would have
targeted the wrong (root) REQUIREMENTS.md entirely. Fixed by exposing
`milestones_path`/`project_path`/`requirements_path` from
init.complete-milestone (src/init.cts) and resolving all three through
them, the same pattern already used for state_path/roadmap_path/
archive_dir. The four remaining literal MILESTONES.md/PROJECT.md
mentions elsewhere in complete-milestone.md (lines ~12-13, ~441, ~607,
~662) are display-only prose in status/summary message templates, not
actual file operations — left as-is; they are a cosmetic path-display
inaccuracy under an active workstream, not a data-integrity bug like
the two fixed here.

Security review: confirmed the write-guard fix from the prior commit
is correct and complete for workstream scoping, and independently
surfaced the same project-only gap the code-review pass above also
caught structurally: `CURATED_PATTERNS` had no pattern for
`.planning/<project>/...` (GSD_PROJECT set, GSD_WORKSTREAM unset) —
planningDir(cwd) supports that shape independently of workstream
nesting, so it is reachable, not hypothetical. Fixed by adding three
more patterns, verified empirically (a project-scoped 292->16 line
ROADMAP.md shrink now correctly returns exit 2 / decision:"block")
and with 6 new regression tests.

Verified: manual bash-fence execution of the corrected commit-files
and requirements-rm fences (both flat mode and GSD_WORKSTREAM=alpha)
resolves to the right paths in both cases; a standalone invocation of
checkDisjointness() against the real repo state still reports zero
violations; the benchmark baseline was refreshed again for the further
size change (already covered by the existing Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth
trailer on complete-milestone.md two commits back — that trailer is
read over the whole merge-base..HEAD range, not per-commit, so it
still applies here).

pr: 0 -> pr: 4542 for both fragments, and updated both bodies to

* fix(#4455): lifecycle-5b archive-path assertions use the fence's own separator, not path.join

PR CI's windows-latest shard 3/3 failed: "expected ls to find the root
archive file, got: ...\milestones-root/v1.0-ROADMAP.md". The
autonomous.md lifecycle step 5b fence composes the checked path with a
literal bash `/` (`"${ARCHIVE_DIR}/v${milestone_version}-ROADMAP.md"`),
which on Windows yields a MIXED-separator path — Windows backslashes
from archiveDir plus one trailing `/`. My test's assertion used
path.join(archiveDir, 'v1.0-ROADMAP.md') instead, which on a Windows
Node process produces an all-backslash path that never matches the
fence's mixed-separator output. Both assertions in that describe block
now mirror the fence's own literal `/` concatenation
(`${archiveDir}/v1.0-ROADMAP.md`) instead of path.join — matching the
style the other two describe blocks in this same file (safety-commit
--files list) already used correctly for the identical archive-dir
pattern, so this brings the one outlier into line rather than
introducing a new idiom.

* fix(#4455): write-guard sentinel comparison now realpath-resolves the token, not just the target

PR CI's macos-latest full-test shard 2/3 failed a #4455 test: "the
sentinel hatch ... unblocks a workstream ROADMAP.md write" got status
2 (still blocked) instead of 0.

Root cause, unrelated to the Windows fix in the previous commit:
hooks/gsd-write-guard.js's main flow realpath-resolves the Write
TARGET before the curated-pattern match (round 9 Minor 1's
symlink-before-match fix, `filePath = fs.realpathSync(filePath)`), but
consumeSentinelFor resolved the sentinel TOKEN's absolute path via
plain path.resolve() with no realpath step. On macOS, os.tmpdir()
resolves through a /var -> /private/var symlink, so a test's cwd
(lexically under /var/folders/...) and its realpath'd target
(/private/var/folders/...) diverge — an armed, correct sentinel then
never matches the realpath'd target string, and the guard stays
incorrectly blocked. This is not macOS-specific in principle: ANY cwd
sitting under a symlink (a symlinked project checkout, a symlinked
worktree) hits the same asymmetry — gsd-test's Linux bench runs never
caught it because /tmp there is not a symlink.

Fixed by applying the same fs.realpathSync (with the same
keep-lexical-on-failure fallback the caller already uses) to the
token's resolved path before comparing. The named file is already
known to exist at this point (the caller only reaches consumeSentinelFor
after successfully reading the target), so realpath is expected to
succeed in the legitimate case; a garbage/mismatched token still fails
safe (verified — falls back to the lexical path, still mismatches,
stays blocked).

Verified: reproduced the exact bug locally (macOS) via os.tmpdir()
before the fix, confirmed it resolves after; the negative case
(sentinel armed for a DIFFERENT file) still correctly blocks; the
pre-existing relative-token sentinel tests (predating #4455) still
pass; a garbage/non-existent token still fails safe. Added a
deterministic, cross-platform regression test using an explicit
symlink (skipped on Windows, matching the existing round-9 symlink
test's own skip condition) so this class of bug is caught by
gsd-test's Linux bench too, not only by a real macOS CI run.

93e141a006 enhance(#4139): Phase 4 — measure the window instead of asserting it (#4502)
* enhance(#4404): add offline token benchmark for compact-content splits

ADR-4139 Decision 2 requires the finite-attention justification for
workflow.compact_content to be measured, not asserted. `npm run
benchmark:compact-content` computes, per registered spine/detail split
discovered under gsd-core/workflows/, the token count with the split
active (spine alone) vs inactive (spine + all detail parts read back
in), using gpt-tokenizer (pinned exact devDependency — Anthropic
publishes no tokenizer for Claude 3+, so every output surface labels
this a PROXY-TOKENIZER comparison: the on/off delta is exact under one
tokenizer applied identically to both sides, the absolute counts are
not Claude's real ones).

Reporting-only by design and verified so: --check diffs the live
recompute against a committed baseline (tests/fixtures/compact-content-benchmark-baseline.json)
and prints drift, but never exits non-zero for a drifted or missing
baseline — the only thing allowed to fail this script is a genuine I/O
error reading a source .md file it's measuring. Not wired into lint:ci
or pretest.

Discovery is deliberately reimplemented rather than importing
tests/helpers/compact-content-split.cjs (Phase 3, #4403), keeping a
scripts/ reporting tool from depending on a test-only module.

tests/fixtures/deny-network.cjs preloads via NODE_OPTIONS=--require to
prove the benchmark makes no network call, monkeypatching http/https/
net/dns/fetch to throw rather than relying on sandboxing.

docs/CONFIGURATION.md documents the new benchmark against the
workflow.compact_content key to satisfy this repo's docs-required gate
for an Added-type changeset.

* fix(#4404): address orthogonal review findings on the token benchmark

Standards axis found two hard violations against documented rules:
- CLAUDE.md's Generative Fix Divergence rule requires a parity assertion
  for shared discovery logic maintained in two places. Added a test
  comparing benchmark-compact-content.cjs's own discoverRegisteredSplits
  against tests/helpers/compact-content-split.cjs's version on the real
  repo tree, so the two can never silently drift apart.
- The changeset body closed its bold span with a period and continued
  as a second sentence, instead of the canonical
  `**<phrase>** — <explanation>.` shape CONTRIBUTING.md documents.

Spec axis found the "network disabled + identical output across two
runs" Done-when criterion was verified as two separate properties
(determinism tested without network denial, offline survival tested as
a single run) rather than as one combined property. Added a test that
runs the benchmark twice under the deny-network preload and asserts
byte-identical stdout.

Security axis found tests/fixtures/deny-network.cjs didn't patch
dns.promises (a separate binding from the callback dns API), tls.connect,
or http2.connect — inert today since nothing in the benchmark calls
them, but a silent gap in what the preload's own header claims to
guarantee. Patched all three.

CLAUDE.md's Property-Based Testing rule also requires a fast-check test
for budget-limit arithmetic; added one for computeAggregate's off/on
summation (true sum over N splits, never NaN/Infinity, never exceeds
100% when off >= on for every split).

Standards axis's remaining two findings (a Data Clumps observation on
the {offTokens, onTokens, reductionPct} triple, and mild duplication in
formatDriftReport's three line-formatters) are left as judgement calls:
introducing a named type for a 3-field local tuple, or a formatter
abstraction for three short lines, would be exactly the premature
abstraction CLAUDE.md's engineering guidance warns against for a script
this size.

All changes verified directly (parity logic, the fast-check property,
and the three newly-denied network surfaces actually throwing under the
preload) via node -e before committing; full npm run lint:ci passes
with the eslint cache cleared.
