cf6de5e1c0 feat(#2871): resolve triggers and host precedence, not just placement (#3291)
* test(#2871): failing-first suite for trigger-surface resolution

23 tests over the 50-test-matrix rows. RED by construction:
resolveTriggerSurface and DEFAULT_TRIGGER_PRECEDENCE do not exist yet,
and the validator silently ignores triggerPrecedence today.

Written in the per-runtime describe idiom the other four
runtime-artifact-layout suites use, not a table.

The rows that carry the weight: windsurf must NOT report a shadow it
does not have, since its global scope emits only agents and agents are
not trigger-bearing; agents and kimi-agents must be absent from the
output for every runtime; and reordering a runtime's triggerPrecedence
must flip the winner, which is the only assertion that proves the axis
is read rather than decorative.

Stems are injected, never scanned, so the surface is assertable with no
filesystem.

* feat(#2871): resolve triggers and host precedence, not just placement

resolveTriggerSurface(runtime, scopes) returns every /gsd-<name> trigger
a runtime emits, with the scope and kind that produced it, whether the
host registers it directly or only through a router, and which artifact
shadows it. resolveRuntimeArtifactLayout is untouched -- its 7 callers
need placement only and the issue requires them unchanged.

AGENTS ARE NOT TRIGGER-BEARING, and ADR-2866 said they were. The
host-integration matrix models command and dispatch as separate interface
points: an agent is invoked through the Agent tool's subagent_type, not
by typing a slash trigger, and _copyStaged never applies the kind prefix
to an agents entry. So agents and kimi-agents are excluded from the
surface entirely, and this commit amends ADR-2866 with a dated
correction. #2218's conclusion is unchanged -- the collision is strictly
commands-vs-skills, and claude's local /gsd-* trigger surface is still
fully shadowed -- but the ADR implied the local agents surface was lost
too, and it is not.

That correction is what makes windsurf come out right. Its global scope
emits only agents, so it has no global trigger and its local commands
are unshadowed. Model agents as trigger-bearing and windsurf falsely
reports a full shadow.

The triggerPrecedence axis lands on all 19 descriptors as an ordered
kind list, one value with one owner, rather than a numeric rank spread
across N kind entries with nothing keeping them consistent. Validation
uses a required-with-default shape that has no precedent in this
validator -- every existing axis is hard-required -- so a third-party
capability.json omitting the field still validates, which is what
ADR-894's additive-only contract promises.

Winner resolution reads Phase 1's scope rank first, then the kind
ordering. A test reorders the axis and asserts the winner flips, since
an axis that is added, validated and never consulted would pass every
other assertion.

shadowedBy ships unread. Phase 4 (#2873) is its first consumer, per this
issue's out-of-scope note.

Verified via the remote runner.

* fix(#2871): single-source namespacedByDir and close two test gaps

Four findings from the isolated adversarial review.

The namespacedByDir rule had reached three copies -- install-engine,
surface, and the new trigger resolver -- one of which carried a
hand-written keep-in-sync comment and no assertion. That is this repo's
generative-fix-divergence class. Extracted to one exported predicate all
three now call. Verified by diverging one copy deliberately: the existing
#816 parity test failed, and passes again on revert.

The omission test was vacuous. Row 16 asserted that a descriptor without
triggerPrecedence still validates, but built its fixture from claude's
shipped descriptor -- which this PR had just added the axis to. It now
clones and deletes the key, following the shippedDescriptorWithout
pattern, and asserts both that validation passes and that the resolver
still picks the right winner from the default. The second half is what
makes it prove anything.

resolveTriggerSurface silently dropped an unrecognized scope while every
sibling in this epic throws. Two phases of one epic should not disagree
about whether an invalid scope is an error, so it now rejects through the
same shared validator; an empty scope list still returns empty rather
than throwing.

The ADR amendment had been spliced into the middle of the References
list, orphaning its last bullet. Moved to the top, after the header
block, which is where ADR-3660 and ADR-1016 both put dated amendments.
No lint checks markdown structure, so this was green while malformed.

* fix(#2871): single-source the command filename composition too

The earlier fix shared the namespacedByDir boolean but left the
filename composition around it written twice -- once in _copyStaged as
what actually gets written, once in resolveTriggerSurface as what gets
predicted. The predictor could go stale silently.

One exported helper now composes it for both. The entry.name asymmetry
that looked like it would block extraction does not: entry.name is
filtered to end in .md and stem is entry.name minus those three
characters, so the two branches are the same string by construction.

Divergence proven to fail: injecting a marker into the helper broke the
trigger-surface suite; reverting restored 25/25. The four sibling layout
suites hold at 227 unchanged.

* docs(#2871): correct the ADR timing notes that this phase makes stale

The Amended by back-links on ADR-3660 and ADR-1016 were written in
Phase 0, when the widenings they describe had not shipped. Each carried
a forward-looking clause -- "the module changes at Phase 2, not before,
until then this module resolves placement only" -- which becomes false
the moment this PR merges. ADR-2866's own Amends header and its
reciprocal-notes section carried the same tense.

All four now describe what shipped. This is a tense and status
correction on Accepted ADRs, not a change to any decision.

Worth stating because it is the failure mode this epic keeps meeting:
gen-adr-index.cjs tracks only Supersedes and Subsumes, so nothing in CI
would have caught either the missing back-link in Phase 0 or these stale
clauses now. They stay correct only because someone checks.

4a1ed2531f enhance(#3242): validate codex .toml model posture, not just presence (#3290)
* test(#3242): failing-first suite for the codex posture health-check

Specifies ADR-2313 D6 before the implementation exists, so the tests
bind to the contract rather than to whatever the code happens to do.

RED is established by construction, not by a remote run:
checkCodexModelPosture and POSTURE_REASON are absent from the compiled
lib today, so every row fails on the missing export. A remote checkpoint
here would prove only that the function is missing, which is already
known — so the run is deliberately deferred to the combined green
checkpoint rather than spent proving a tautology.

That makes the NEGATIVE PROOFS the rows that carry real signal. Every
positive row passes even for a naive implementation that greps
/model\s*=/ over the whole file. Six rows fail it: light-tier
service_tier/model_verbosity decoupling (#774), hand-added keys, a
commented pin, the model_verbosity key-prefix collision, the runtime
no-op ordering, and the headline case — a literal `model = "sonnet"`
inside the developer_instructions ''' block, which the emitter fills
with agent prompts that discuss models constantly.

Row 14's fixture was verified to discriminate before being written: a
whole-file scan matches it and a header-slice scan does not. Without
that check the test would pass trivially and prove nothing, which is the
vacuous-test failure this epic has already hit repeatedly.

Adversarial TOML fixtures are hand-authored against the real Codex shape
rather than generated by generateCodexAgentToml, per #2371 — a fixture
from the writer can only confirm what the writer already believed.

* feat(#3242): validate codex .toml model posture, not just presence

Implements ADR-2313 D6. checkCodexModelPosture is a new sibling export,
not a branch inside checkAgentsInstalled — that function carries 33
upstream dependents, cyclomatic 25, and sits in two traced process
flows, so it is deliberately left untouched.

It imports isAnthropicFlavoredModel from model-catalog, a genuine leaf.
That is what Phase 1's constant move bought: agent-install-check is
documented as pure read/verify and imports only leaves, so reaching the
rule through model-resolver would have dragged config-loader into it.

Reads liberally, judges strictly, and never guesses. Tolerates comments,
key order, whitespace, CRLF, and a BOM; anchors on full key names so
model_verbosity does not satisfy a `model` probe; treats extra
hand-added keys as none of its business, since the check is a predicate
on the two fields the posture owns rather than a whitelist over the
document. An unreadable file becomes a named violation and the loop
keeps going.

The scan covers only the header slice — the lines before the
developer_instructions ''' marker. The emitter writes agent prompts into
that block and GSD's prompts discuss models constantly, so a whole-file
scan reports violations for prose. This is the highest-risk defect in
the phase and the reason its fixture was verified to discriminate before
being written.

The non-codex short-circuit runs before any filesystem call, so a stray
.toml under another runtime is never inspected.

Wired through cmdValidateAgents as an additive codex_posture key, so a
violating install is visible from a command a user actually runs rather
than only from a library nothing calls.

Also fixes a test defect found while implementing: .gitattributes forces
`* text=auto eol=lf` repo-wide, so the committed CRLF fixture was
normalized to LF in the index — `git ls-files --eol` reported `i/lf
w/crlf`, the working copy being stale pre-normalization bytes. The CRLF
row was asserting against a file that could not survive a fresh clone.
CRLF is now derived at runtime, which puts it under the test's control
rather than git's, instead of adding a .gitattributes exception that
fights a deliberate repo-wide policy and that anyone could re-normalize.

* docs(#3242): document the codex posture check where a user will look

Three quadrants, filed by where the reader actually arrives.

How-to (recover-and-troubleshoot.md, under Install and update problems)
is titled by the SYMPTOM — "If Codex agents fail to spawn with a 400
about an unsupported model" — and opens with the verbatim error string.
Someone hitting this does not know the words "posture" or "ADR-2313";
they have a 400 in their terminal and will search for that.

Reference (COMMANDS.md) had no `validate agents` entry at all, though
sibling gsd-tools subcommands are documented. Adding user-visible output
to an undocumented command and then linking to it from the new how-to
would have left a dangling reference. The entry carries the
violation-reason table, since the frozen POSTURE_REASON enum is the
machine-readable contract a reader needs rather than the prose.

Both surfaces state that presence and posture are separate verdicts — a
missing agent lands in `missing`, never as a posture violation. That is
a deliberate design decision and would otherwise be invisible to someone
watching one command emit both.

Explanation stays in ADR-2313, which already covers D6 and the
liberal-parse/strict-judge boundary. Pointing at it beats duplicating it
into COMMANDS.md and creating two copies to drift.

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

* fix(#3242): close two false negatives in the posture scan

Both found by an isolated reviewer and reproduced before fixing. Both
made the check report clean when it was not — the worst direction for
this function, since the how-to tells users an empty violations list
means the install is posture-clean.

A quoted TOML key was never matched. `"model" = "sonnet"` is legal TOML,
but the key pattern required a bare identifier, so the pin was silently
invisible. Bare, "double" and 'single' quoted forms now normalize to the
same key name.

The block marker was found by unanchored whole-content search and used
to truncate the header. A `description` value merely containing the
literal text `developer_instructions = '''` truncated the scan before a
real pin, and a user who hand-reordered `model` to sit after the block —
still legal TOML — was never scanned at all.

Fixed by changing the strategy rather than the regex: find the block's
range, anchored at line start, and scan every line OUTSIDE it. That
covers both failures and is strictly more correct than truncation, while
still never reading prompt prose. An unterminated block excludes the
rest of the file, which fails toward a false positive — the safe
direction, since misreading prose as a pin wastes a user's time while
the alternative hides a real one.

Also corrects two overclaims of mine. The how-to named "v1.11", a
version that does not exist — package.json is 1.10.0 and unreleased — so
it now describes the boundary by behavior and links the ADR. And the
test matrix asserted that a naive whole-file scan "fails exactly rows
12,13,14,15,16,25"; the reviewer computed that rows 12, 13, 15 and 16
produce the correct result against that baseline too. They guard real
but *different* mistakes, and the matrix now says which one each catches
instead of attributing them all to the header-slice defect.

* fix(#3242): skip symlinked agent files instead of following them

Security review finding. The scan listed entries with readdirSync and
read them with readFileSync, which follows symlinks — so a symlink in
the agents directory pointing anywhere would have its contents read, and
any line matching the model pattern echoed into cmdValidateAgents'
output through the `value` field. A read-and-echo primitive on an
arbitrary path.

It needs write access to the agents directory, so it crosses no new
trust boundary today. Fixed anyway, for two reasons.

This repo already does it correctly next door: cmdEffortSync filters
with lstatSync().isFile() and the comment "Skip symlinks — only write
regular files to avoid clobbering symlink targets." Being inconsistent
with a sibling in the same subsystem IS the defect.

And Phase 3 (#3243) extends that same cmdEffortSync to WRITE these
files. Establishing symlink-following as the house pattern for Codex
.toml handling here would hand Phase 3 a worse starting point while it
writes rather than reads.

Skipped silently rather than reported, matching the sibling: a symlinked
agent file is a structural install choice, which checkAgentsInstalled
owns, not a model-content posture defect. An lstat that itself throws
excludes the file rather than crashing the scan.

That does narrow the guarantee slightly, so the how-to now says an empty
list means every REGULAR .toml is clean, and tells anyone symlinking
their configs to check the targets by hand. Claiming a clean bill of
health over files the check declined to open would be the same kind of
false confidence the two false negatives above produced.

dced41f536 chore(#3211): accept a non-closing issue reference for docs/test-only PRs (#3289)
* test(#3211): failing-first coverage for the issue-link follow-up exemption

Adds the regression suite before the policy module exists, so the RED state
is recorded against a real verdict rather than asserted. Covers the reported
gap (a fork test-only follow-up PR cannot satisfy the gate without an inert
closing keyword) and the file-list truncation vector that any diff-shape
exemption must fail closed on.

Refs #3211

* chore(#3211): accept a non-closing issue reference for docs/test-only PRs

The `Issue link required` gate modelled exactly one PR->issue relationship —
"this PR closes that issue" — and its sole exemption additionally required
same-repo identity (#1389), so a fork PR had no exemption path of any kind. A
test-only or docs-only follow-up therefore had to ship a knowingly-inert
`Closes #<already-closed-issue>` to get a green check.

The verdict now lives in scripts/require-issue-link-policy.cjs as a pure,
unit-tested function returning a typed reason. It additionally accepts a
non-closing reference (`Refs #N`, `Follow-up to #N`, ...) but only when every
changed file is under tests/, under docs/, or is a root-level *.md — the same
doc-only shape pre-pr-gate.sh:111 recognizes, minus CHANGELOG.md, which
changeset/lint.cjs classes as user-facing. Source-touching PRs still require a
closing keyword and a PR with no reference at all still hard-fails, so gate
strength is unchanged.

Both constraints the issue names as hard requirements are preserved: the
backmerge exemption keeps its same-repo conjunct, and the failing step's `if:`
stays step-level so the required check reports SUCCESS rather than a
branch-protection-blocking `skipped`.

Also closes a forgery vector found while building this. `gh pr view --json
files` returns at most 100 paths and does not paginate, while the payload's
`changed_files` reports the true total (verified live: PR #3202 returns 100 of
118). A >100-file PR could therefore present a falsely tests-only list. The new
shared helper scripts/lib/pr-changed-files.cjs fails closed when the list
cannot be confirmed complete, and the pre-existing tooling-paths carve-out in
scripts/pr-template-policy.cjs — which relaxed template enforcement on the same
untrustworthy list — now uses it too.

Closes #3211

* fix(#3211): treat the authoritative file count as authority at every list size

Both orthogonal review passes independently found the same blocker.
`fileListIsComplete` only compared the list length against the PR's true
`changed_files` count once the list reached the 100-entry page cap, so any
mechanism that shortened the list BELOW the cap went undetected:

  evaluateIssueLink({prBody:"Refs #1", sameRepo:false,
                     changedFiles:["CONTRIBUTING.md"], changedFilesTotal:3})
  -> {ok:true, reason:"ok_followup_reference"}

The concrete exploit was a $GITHUB_OUTPUT heredoc collision. Both this
workflow and pr-template-format.yml wrote the file list with a fixed
terminator (`GSD_EOF` / the even weaker `EOF`), and every path in that value
is attacker-controlled on a fork PR. A file named after the delimiter closes
the value early and drops every path after it, so a fork PR touching src/
could present a list of only its exempt-looking files and take the follow-up
exemption. That is exactly the #1389 property this change is required to
preserve.

Fixed in two independent layers:

  1. The total is now the authority at every size, not only at/above the cap.
     One rule catches truncation, delimiter collision, and a path containing
     a newline, without having to enumerate the mechanisms.
  2. Both workflows now use an unguessable random delimiter, per GitHub's
     documented guidance for untrusted multiline output.

Also from review: pr-template-format.yml never passed CHANGED_FILES_TOTAL, so
the parameter threaded through evaluatePrTemplate was always undefined in
production and would have permanently blocked the tooling carve-out for any
100+-file PR; its env is now wired. Root-doc exclusion is case-insensitive.
Dropped a no-op `tr '\n' '\n'`.

Refs #3211

* chore(#3211): regenerate install-tree fixtures for the new shared helper

scripts/lib/** ships in the install tree, so adding
scripts/lib/pr-changed-files.cjs drifts all 19 golden fixtures by exactly one
path each. Caught by tests/golden-install-tree.test.cjs (25 failures on the
remote runner), which is the drift detector doing its job — not a defect.

Placement is deliberate: every existing occupant of scripts/lib/ is a CI/dev
helper that already ships (alias-drift-families, allowlist-ratchet, cli-exit,
drift-scan), so a shared helper used by two policy scripts belongs there. The
two policy modules themselves live at the top level of scripts/ and do not
ship.

Regenerated with `npm run gen:install-tree`; the delta is one added path per
fixture and nothing else.

Refs #3211

* fix(#3211): keep the shared CI helper out of the shipped install tree

The remote runner reported 6 failures on the previous head. Two causes.

`scripts/lib/**` is enumerated in `bin/install.js` (GSD_SCRIPTS_LIB_FILES) and
ships to users, and the install suite asserts that enumeration is complete.
Putting the new shared helper there broke four install tests and drifted all 19
golden install-tree fixtures. The right answer is not to add it to the manifest
— it is CI-only tooling used by two scripts that do not ship, so it has no
business in a user's config directory. Moved to `scripts/pr-changed-files.cjs`;
top-level `scripts/` ships only what the installer names explicitly, so nothing
is enumerated and nothing ships. The fixture regeneration from the previous
commit is reverted: the install-tree fixtures are byte-identical to `next`
again, and `bin/` is untouched. That also keeps the diff free of any
user-facing path, so no changeset fragment is required.

The other failure was a stale test, not a regression. The workflow carve-out
suite asserted the backmerge exemption by grepping require-issue-link.yml for
`startsWith(github.head_ref, ...)` and `steps.check.outputs.found`. This change
moved the whole verdict — carve-out included — into the policy module and
renamed the step, so those assertions measured a location the logic no longer
occupies.

Rewritten to lock the property at its new home, and made stronger in the
process: the step-level placement is now verified by PARSING the YAML and
asserting the job carries no `if:` of its own (a job-level `if:` would make the
required check report `skipped` and block branch protection), and the #1389
anti-forgery conjunct is asserted BEHAVIORALLY against evaluateIssueLink for
both sameRepo branches rather than by matching text. The bootstrap fallback
grep is locked too, so the introducing-PR path cannot be silently dropped.

Refs #3211

* fix(#3211): correct the contributor guidance and pin it against the rule

The sticky comment the gate posts still described the qualifying diff shape as
"nothing outside tests/ and docs/". The predicate had since been widened to
also accept root-level *.md, so the guidance was narrower than the rule it
describes — and narrower in the worst direction: a contributor whose PR is
CONTRIBUTING.md plus a test, which is exactly the shape #3211 was filed about,
would have been told they do not qualify while the gate was in fact passing
them. The two failure explanations now name all three accepted shapes and the
CHANGELOG.md exclusion.

This is a shared-rule-across-parallel-surfaces drift: the guidance restates a
rule whose definition lives in EXEMPT_PATH_PREFIXES / isRootLevelDoc /
EXCLUDED_ROOT_DOCS. It was caught by eye, which is not a control. Added the
parity assertion CLAUDE.md prescribes for exactly this: the test parses the
workflow, pulls the github-script body out of the failing step, and asserts it
names every entry of EXEMPT_PATH_PREFIXES and every entry of
EXCLUDED_ROOT_DOCS — derived from the module's exports, never from a second
hardcoded copy — plus the root-level shape and an actionable `Refs #` example.

The test is non-vacuous by construction and by demonstration: it guards against
zero-length iteration and an empty script body, and removing any single
expected token from the real text makes it fail (verified per token, plus the
empty-string case which reports all five missing).

c2f24265f2 feat(#2870): resolve install scope as a value (#3278)
* test(#2870): failing-first suite for the Install Scope Module

19 tests over the 50-test-matrix rows 1-19. RED by construction: the
module under test does not exist yet, so the suite fails at require with
MODULE_NOT_FOUND until src/install-scope.cts lands.

Every row asserts a returned value with injected env/home/existsSync --
no filesystem, per the issue's acceptance criterion that tests assert the
resolved value directly.

Row 7 asserts the RELATION rank(global) > rank(local) rather than a
literal, so Phase 2 (#2871) can re-base the numbers without a fixture
edit. Row 4 iterates the real runtime registry rather than a hardcoded
list, excluding vscode, which declares configHome.kind none and is never
CLI-installed.

* feat(#2870): add the Install Scope Module

Scope becomes one resolved value instead of a bare string re-derived at
every layer. resolveScope({id, runtime, ...}) returns
{id, configHome, settingsFile, consentRequired, hostPrecedenceRank}.

It COMPOSES resolveConfigHomeFromDescriptor rather than extending it.
That function has 60 dependents across 13 files and 2 process flows -- a
CRITICAL blast radius -- so adding a scope parameter to it, which the
issue's framing invites, would ripple through all of them. Composing
costs nothing and leaves every existing caller byte-identical.

The module owns the InstallScope type name, which previously lived
privately in runtime-artifact-install-plan.cts; that module now imports
it. A fifth spelling of the same concept would have defeated the phase.

settingsFile is null for the 18 runtimes that declare no
settingsFileByScope -- absence is a value, not an error, and inventing a
Claude-shaped default would leak that host's shape onto every other one.

hostPrecedenceRank ships unread: Phase 2 (#2871) is its first consumer.
It is carried as data only, per this issue's out-of-scope note that
precedence semantics belong to that phase.

Vocabulary: the install axis standardizes on local. ConsentRecord.scope
keeps project deliberately -- that literal is serialized into consent
records in the user's home, and renaming it would silently deactivate
every project-scoped capability on the machine. CONTEXT.md records the
boundary mapping instead.

Every environmental input is injectable (env, home, existsSync, cwd), so
the resolved value is assertable with no filesystem at all.

Registration ripple: .gitignore, eslint.config.mjs, CONTEXT.md glossary,
docs/INVENTORY.md, and the inventory manifest (regenerated after
build:lib, never before).

Verified via the remote runner.

* refactor(#2870): route scope re-derivations through the module

bin/install.js resolves scope once per function instead of inline at
each of its 12 sites, and the settingsFileByScope consumer reads it
through resolveScope().

Seven downstream boolean re-derivations now call the module's
isGlobalScope() instead of comparing the literal independently:
runtime-artifact-install-plan, both runtime-artifact-layout kind
builders, dispatchKindEntry, surface, and two install-engine sites. The
fifth through seventh were not named in the issue -- they are the same
re-derivation class, and leaving them would have made the acceptance
criterion false.

_computePathPrefix keeps its isGlobal boolean API, so the projection is
centralized rather than eliminated. resolveScope and isGlobalScope share
one validator, so the two surfaces cannot drift.

TWO SITES DELIBERATELY NOT ROUTED: runtime-artifact-conversion's
rewriteStagedSkillBodies and rewriteStagedCommandBodies. ADR-1508 fixes
the direction as installer/layout -> conversion, never upward, and
install-scope composes runtime-homes, so importing it into the
conversion module would invert that direction. Left as-is on purpose.

Behavior-preserving throughout. Each step was proven by capturing full
layout and plan output -- including every kind's home field and the
hashed contents of emitted files -- before and after, across both scopes
for claude, codex, opencode, hermes, kimi and kilo. Byte-identical.

surface.cts keeps a scope ?? 'global' default before the call because
Layout.scope is optional there; isGlobalScope throws where the old
inline compare returned false, and that difference would have been a
placement regression.

Verified via the remote runner.

* fix(#2870): cover the no-config-home throw and document the strictness

Two findings from the isolated adversarial review.

The vscode case was implemented but untested. resolveScope throws for a
runtime whose descriptor declares configHome.kind 'none', which is the
design's own behavior-table row 13, but the registry sweep excluded
vscode rather than asserting the throw -- so the behavior shipped with
no test. The exclusion is now legitimate because the case has its own
test naming the runtime in the assertion.

isGlobalScope throws where the inline compare it replaced returned
false. No reachable caller can deliver an out-of-union value today, but
the types are not enforced at runtime, so a future caller passing an
optional Layout.scope would crash rather than silently misroute. That is
the better failure -- misrouting writes artifacts to the wrong place --
but it was undocumented, so the reason is now on the function.

Adds the changeset the acceptance criteria require.

* refactor(#2870): route the last two sites; correct the ADR-1508 claim

The previous commit declined to route runtime-artifact-conversion's
rewriteStagedSkillBodies and rewriteStagedCommandBodies, claiming
ADR-1508's dependency direction forbade the import. That reasoning was
wrong, and this commit corrects it.

Two independent reviewers checked the actual import graph:
runtime-artifact-conversion already imports capability-registry,
command-roster, runtime-name-policy and shell-command-projection -- it
depends on leaf-tier siblings today. install-scope imports only
runtime-homes plus node builtins, and runtime-homes imports only node
builtins, so there is no cycle at any depth. ADR-1508 governs the
installer/layout to conversion boundary, not a leaf-to-leaf sibling
import of the same shape conversion already makes.

With those two routed, every isGlobal re-derivation in the tree now goes
through one owner and acceptance criterion 1 is fully met rather than
partially. Nine sites, not the four the issue enumerated.

Also from the review:

Tests were falling through to the real process.cwd() at five local-scope
call sites, which contradicts the acceptance criterion that the resolved
value be assertable with no filesystem. Every one now injects a cwd. One
of the five was a site the review had not spotted.

bin/install.js carried two near-identical copies of the guarded
resolveScope block, one in install() and one in uninstall() -- duplicated
scope logic in the phase whose purpose is removing it. Extracted to one
helper, and the new sites use the file's existing ternary idiom rather
than the if/else that replaced it.

Equivalence re-proven across both scopes for claude, codex, opencode,
kilo and hermes, now including the staged skill and command body
rewrites hashed per file, since those decide the literal spec-root path
baked into every emitted artifact. Byte-identical.

Verified via the remote runner.

* fix(#2870): assert configHome portably instead of with a native separator

The windows-latest node24 shard failed on two install-scope assertions.
The module was right and the tests were wrong: they built their expected
value with path.join, which emits \fake\home\.claude on Windows, while
resolveScope normalizes separators unconditionally to /fake/home/.claude.

That unconditional normalization is deliberate -- backslash paths arrive
on Linux too, so normalizing via path.sep is the documented defect this
repo guards against. Weakening it to make the assertion pass would have
inverted the fix.

Every path.join-built expectation in the suite now goes through
toPosixPath from tests/helpers.cjs, which is the pattern the
no-path-literal-in-assert rule's own valid-case list sanctions. It splits
on the running platform's path.sep and rejoins with forward slashes, so
it reverses whatever path.join produced on that same platform and the
expectation is invariant everywhere.

Two more call sites had the same latent problem and passed on Linux and
macOS by luck; they are fixed too.

This is the class of defect the remote runner structurally cannot catch
-- its matrix is Linux-only, so a green pass there is not evidence of
portability, and CI's Windows lane is the only place it surfaces.

Verified via the remote runner.

b901d1e06f feat(#1953): complexity-triggered refactor extension point (execute:post) (#3261)
* test(#1953): failing-first suite for the complexity-triggered refactor hook

60 behavioral cases against src/complexity-trigger.cts, which does not exist yet:
decision-point counting, the comment/literal stripping leak surface, threshold and
jump-delta boundaries at limit-1/limit/limit+1, stable-anchor baseline semantics,
and fs fault injection via mock.method. Two fast-check properties assert that
stripping never manufactures a decision point and that comments and string
literals are score-neutral.

Also registers the refactor-trigger capability manifest (inert until
refactor.trigger_enabled) and regenerates the capability registry and matrix.

Verified RED on the remote runner before any implementation exists.

* feat(#1953): complexity-triggered refactor extension point

Adds the opt-in refactor-trigger capability. After a phase executes, an
execute:post step measures per-function complexity for the files the phase
touched and writes a scoped refactor proposal when a function crosses the
configured threshold or drifts past its recorded anchor.

Design notes worth carrying:

- The signal is computed in-core (decision-point counting over comment- and
  literal-stripped source, Node builtins only) rather than via Memtrace or a
  shelled-out analyzer. The hook fires as a deterministic CLI, not an agent
  with MCP tools, and core takes no external dependencies — this is the only
  option a behavioral test can bind to. The metric sits behind a seam.
- The baseline is a stable anchor, not a rolling value: set on first
  observation, moved only on disposition. A rolling baseline makes the delta
  the single-phase change, so a function creeping +2 per phase never trips a
  delta of 5 and the jump check adds nothing over the absolute threshold.
- Strict mode records an open deviation window in the broken-windows ledger
  rather than declaring its own ship:pre gate. ship.md has no generic ship:pre
  gate dispatch — only two hardcoded branches — so a third gate of any kind
  would be declared and never evaluated.
- The gate clears on the proposal being dispositioned, never on the score
  improving. A blocking complexity number is one an executor can satisfy by
  splitting a coherent function in two.

execute-phase.md gains a generic execute:post step-dispatch contract; it
previously matched only ref.skill == "code-review", so any other step
registered there was declared and never run. The code-review branch is
unchanged.

Full rationale in ADR-1953.

Closes #1953

* fix(#1953): close git option injection and symlink escape in the refactor hook

Three findings from the isolated security review, all fixed inline.

HIGH — changedFilesSince interpolated the --since value into a revision
token placed before the -- separator. A -- only stops PATHSPEC parsing of
arguments after it; git still option-parses what comes before. So
--since '--output=/tmp/x' became --output=/tmp/x..HEAD, which git accepts
as --output=<file> and uses to redirect diff output — an arbitrary write.
Fixed with --end-of-options before the revision range plus a conservative
ref validator. The validator deliberately permits ~ ^ @ { } because those
are legitimate git REVISION syntax (HEAD~1, main@{yesterday}) as distinct
from ref-NAME syntax; --end-of-options is the actual barrier. The doc
comment asserting the trailing -- was sufficient was wrong and is corrected.

MEDIUM — resolveConfinedPath confined by string prefix only, so a symlink
committed inside the repo passed the check (its own path is under cwd) and
readFileSync then followed it outside the root. Now lstat-checks for a
regular file and skips anything else with REFACTOR_FILE_UNREADABLE, so one
bad path skips one file and the run continues.

LOW — the new execute:post dispatch contract showed the gsd_run example
before the rule requiring ref.command be validated first. That prose is
executed by an agent, so textual order is execution order. Reordered.

Refs #1953

* fix(#1953): make the analyzer able to see TypeScript at all

Found by running the shipped analyzer over its own source: it reported
functions=1 for a 940-line module with 24 function forms. A return-type
annotation or a generic parameter list made a function invisible —
`function f(a): number {}` and `function f<T>(a: T): T {}` both detected as
zero. Since gsd-core is written in .cts and the capability declares
.ts/.cts/.mts analyzable, the feature silently found nothing in this repo's
own primary language while reporting success. A safety net that reports
"all clear" because it cannot see is worse than no safety net.

All 98 tests passed over this, because every fixture was plain JS — the
exact failure the test matrix's own "assert against the shape production
uses" warning describes. Adds a TypeScript-shapes suite covering return
types (including unions, generics, object literals and type predicates),
generic parameter lists (constrained and defaulted), export/async/generator
combinations, annotated arrows, class-method modifiers, and optional/
default/rest params — plus the two traps: an overload signature has no body
and must not count, and `a < b && c > d` is a comparison, not a generic.
Detection now reports 24/37/21 functions for the three source files, which
matches a hand count exactly.

Also from review:

- The strict-mode ledger dedup identified entries by parsing a prose
  description string. That is banned by CONTRIBUTING's raw-text-matching
  rule and was a real bug: the "exactly one window per untriaged proposal"
  guarantee rested on prose matching, so rewording a description or editing
  WINDOWS.md by hand silently produced duplicates. Now matches structurally
  on kind + phase + file + line.
- A property test asserted on the stripper's output text. Reframed to
  assert the same invariant through analyzeSource's score.
- nextBaseline's `candidates` parameter has been dead since the anchor
  change; removed from the signature and all call sites.
- Extracted the duplicated require-or-degrade and capability-check
  boilerplate.
- ADR-1953's Implementation bullet still named a `refactor.ship-gate` in
  check-command-router.cts — a leftover from the design cut D6 rejects.
  That file is untouched and no such gate exists. Removed.

Refs #1953

* fix(#1953): keep execute-phase.md under its byte ceiling; un-vacuum the large-file test

Five of the seven remote-runner failures were one cause: the execute:post
dispatch contract, written out inline, grew execute-phase.md 1876 bytes
(93,400 -> 95,276) against a frozen PRE_PHASE6 ceiling of 93,600. A drift-ack
does not clear that — tests/phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs and
tests/fix-2285-claude-orchestration-wiring.test.cjs assert the file is
literally under the cap.

The contract now lives in gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md, which
already claimed to be the point-agnostic dispatch reference and already
documented ref.skill and ref.agent. It gains the ref.command shape, its
in-context validation rule, the advisory-by-construction statement, and a
note that a point whose workflow hand-rolls one kind is not implementing
this contract. execute-phase.md now defers to it in one line: 145 bytes of
growth, 55 B of headroom under the cap. Better placement than the first cut
— the reference was overstating its coverage, and this makes the claim true
rather than duplicating prose next to it.

Acknowledged by appending to tests/emitted-drift-acks/2930-*.json rather
than a new 1953-*.json: two ack sources may never name the same path, and
that fragment is already the accumulating ack for this file.

Sixth and seventh failures: analyzesLargeFileWithinBounds tripped its own
vacuity guard — the fixture generated ~480 KB against a `> 500000` assert,
so the guard fired and the three assertions after it never ran. The test
has been vacuous since it was written. The matrix row specifies ~1 MB, so
N goes 8000 -> 20000 (1.17 MB, 17% margin) and the guard to > 1_000_000.
Verified by reproducing the exact body against the compiled module: 1168888
bytes, 118 ms, all four assertions hold.

Refs #1953

* fix(#1953): fold the execute:post step deferral into the existing resolve line

The remaining two failures were one test: execute-phase.md carries a SECOND,
tighter assertion than the 93,600 ceiling — `<=93400`, which is exactly its
current size. The file cannot grow by a single byte. My previous fix got it
under 93,600 but not under 93,400, so it still failed. ("H." in the report is
just the parent describe of that same test, not a separate defect.)

Rather than add a paragraph, the deferral now REPLACES the existing hook
resolution line. It read:

  Resolve active step hooks from `EXECUTE_POST_HOOKS_JSON` where
  `kind == "step"` and `ref.skill == "code-review"`.

which is the bug itself written down — only code-review was ever dispatched.
It now reads:

  Dispatch each `kind == "step"` hook per
  @gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md. For `code-review`:

The following prose already begins "If no active code-review step hook
exists", so it reads correctly and the code-review handling is untouched.
Net effect on the file is -11 bytes: 93,400 -> 93,389, under the margin
assertion rather than merely under the ceiling.

That also removes the need for a drift-ack: the file shrank, so there is no
growth to acknowledge, and the append to the shared 2930-*.json fragment is
reverted. Leaving it would have shipped a claim of "145 bytes of growth"
that is no longer true, on a file six other issues share.

The test's own comment states the principle this ended up honoring: "the host
loop must stay small — optional-feature detail belongs in the capability
fragment, not the host workflow." Putting the dispatch contract in the
reference rather than inline is that rule, applied.

Refs #1953

* fix(#1953): keep the code-review hook literal the workflow test requires

tests/code-review.test.cjs extracts the <step name="code_review_gate"> block
and asserts it contains `ref.skill == "code-review"` verbatim. The previous
commit replaced the line carrying that literal, so the token vanished and the
test went red — a fair assertion: code-review IS the bespoke branch there and
the workflow should still name it.

Restored inside the same one-line deferral, which now reads:

  Dispatch `kind == "step"` hooks per @gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md.
  `ref.skill == "code-review"`:

93,396 bytes — still under the `<=93400` margin assertion and 4 bytes below
the base, so the file continues to shrink rather than grow.

Because three consecutive runs were each reddened by a different assertion on
this one file, this change was verified by sweeping ALL of them at once rather
than one run at a time: every test under tests/ that reads execute-phase.md or
references/loop-hook-dispatch.md was located by resolving its path constants,
and each content/size assertion was evaluated directly against the working
tree — 22 assertions, plus two real executions (gen-section-manifest --check,
and emitted-attribution's full real-tree differential). All pass.

That sweep also confirms the earlier judgement call: the net change to
execute-phase.md is a SHRINK, and the size ratchet only gates growth, so
reverting the append to the shared 2930-*.json ack fragment was correct — an
ack would have been both unnecessary and factually wrong.

* chore(#1953): backfill changeset pr number to 3261

* docs(#1953): add the missing how-to for acting on a refactor proposal

Reference and explanation shipped (COMMANDS.md, CONFIGURATION.md,
FEATURES.md 159, ADR-1953) but the Diataxis how-to quadrant did not, and
that is the one a user reaches for. CONTRIBUTING's required-docs table is
'new command -> COMMANDS.md + FEATURES.md', so CI was green on a gap.

Enabling this feature is genuinely multi-step and no single page walked it:
turn it on, tune the threshold, understand advisory vs strict, discover
that strict needs a SECOND toggle on a DIFFERENT capability, and know what
to do when a proposal appears. The two-toggle subtlety in particular was a
footnote in a config table; here it is a section with both commands.

Follows the shape of its closest siblings, resolve-edge-coverage-findings
and resolve-prohibition-findings — both 'the loop surfaced a finding, here
is what to do with it'. Includes a reason-code table for the silent cases,
since the analyzer is deliberately quiet in six situations and a user who
expected a proposal needs to tell 'nothing to report' from 'could not look'.

Indexed from docs/README.md beside the other loop how-tos.

Docs-only: exempt from the push gate, no re-verification, pass marker on
2af188b4 untouched.

Refs #1953

* feat(#1953): warn when strict mode is on but nothing will actually block

Closes acceptance criterion 5, which I had wrongly marked satisfied.

refactor.trigger_strict records an untriaged proposal as an open deviation
window, but a ship only STOPS if workflow.windows_enforce is also on — a
toggle owned by the broken-windows capability that this feature neither sets
nor requires. So a user could enable strict, believe ship was gated, and find
out otherwise at ship time.

The split itself stays: requires:["broken-windows"] would force-install the
ledger on advisory users who never enable strict, and a ship:pre gate of our
own would never fire because ship.md has no generic ship:pre gate dispatch.
What was missing was discoverability, so that is what this fixes.

`refactor evaluate` now emits a typed REFACTOR_STRICT_NOT_ENFORCING warning,
naming the exact remediation command, whenever strict is on and either
workflow.windows_enforce is off or broken-windows is unavailable. It fires
only on a run that produced a candidate — with nothing to block on there is
nothing to warn about, and warning every run would be noise.

Reads workflow.windows_enforce through the same resolveConfigKey walk the
router already uses for its own keys rather than a second config reader.
Four tests cover the matrix: strict+enforce-off warns, strict+enforce-on does
not, strict+ledger-absent warns, strict-off never warns.

Also corrects a user-facing message in this same file that told the user to
run `gsd-tools config-set` — the wrong form. docs/CONFIGURATION.md and the
broken-windows capability both use `gsd config-set`, and gsd-tools is invoked
as `node gsd-tools.cjs`, so the bare form may not resolve. The two adjacent
messages in this file now agree.

0c413bbc9c chore(#3059): close the ESLint glob-coverage escape and guard it (#3277)
* chore(#3059): close the ESLint glob-coverage escape and guard it

62 tracked source files matched no `files:` glob in eslint.config.mjs, so
ESLint skipped them entirely while `eslint .` still exited 0 — including all
26 files under hooks/, the enforcement machinery itself.

Covers 56 of them (eslint-rules/, hooks/, bin/lib/, pi/, examples/, vscode/,
the plugin shims, root *.mjs) and allowlists the 6 deliberate
must-not-compile brand-typing fixtures with a recorded reason each.

hooks/** is covered with n/no-process-exit deliberately off: a hook's whole
contract is its exit code, several exits are load-bearing stdin-timeout
guards where nothing else terminates the process, and ADR-0012/0174 scope the
no-process-exit convention to the Command Routing Hub. bin/lib/ui-safety-gate.cjs
is dual-mode, so it keeps the rule live and takes two targeted disables in its
require.main===module tail instead.

Adds scripts/lint-eslint-glob-coverage.cjs + a node:test drift guard so the
class cannot regrow: allowlist entries require a non-empty reason, the list
ratchets down only (a stale entry fails), and a tracked-count floor means a
broken `git ls-files` fails rather than reporting clean.

Closes #3059

* chore(#3059): apply review findings — correct the changeset count, add parser properties

Isolated adversarial review, confirmed by rebuilding a byte-for-byte replica
of the pre-change eslint.config.mjs: the changeset claimed 44 previously-
unlinted files. The real figure is 56 (56 covered + 6 allowlisted = 62).
That was user-facing CHANGELOG text and was wrong; corrected, along with three
consequential figures in the design record.

CLAUDE.md requires a fast-check property test for parsers and budget limits,
and listTrackedSourceFiles is a parser. The standards review called this
"satisfied in spirit"; it is not. Adds three properties driving the real
exported parser through an injected execFile: extension totality/soundness
including a trailing terminator, backslash-normalization totality, and
CRLF/LF equivalence — the invariant the repo's recurring CRLF defect class
breaks.

Also de-duplicates the anchor rows onto one shared resolver, kept deliberately
independent of the guard's own resolveFileCoverage so an anchor still fails if
that resolution regresses, and records in the guard's header why the
bin/install.js family is NOT allowlisted: it resolves to 2 rules under
ADR-1703, so an entry would trip the allowlist_stale ratchet.

* fix(#3059): make the coverage guard's git call container-safe

The remote runner reported the guard degrading to `git_failed` on both Node
lanes:

  fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/work'

The runner executes in a container where the repo is owned by a different UID,
so git refuses to operate on it. The guard's degraded-verdict path worked
exactly as designed — it reported the failure instead of throwing or falsely
reporting clean — but a guard that cannot run in CI is not a gate.

`git ls-files` is now invoked as `git -c safe.directory=* ls-files`. `-c`
scopes the override to the single invocation and mutates no config file, and
the wildcard is appropriate because this command only enumerates tracked paths
in the repository it is already executing inside.

Adds a regression test that captures the argv through the injected execFile
seam and asserts `-c safe.directory=*` precedes `ls-files`, so the container
case is pinned behaviorally rather than by reading the script's source.

* chore(#3059): backfill changeset PR number

pr:0 placeholder replaced with the real number now that #3277 exists.

653f95e39f chore(#2801): remove the hostBehaviors.reviewerCli deprecated alias (#3272)
* test(#2801): failing-first suite for the hostBehaviors.reviewerCli alias removal

Inverts the Phase 5a rows that assert the derived legacy alias still
contributes a reviewer slug, and adds the removal-warning coverage the
alias's exit needs (ADR-2782 D9).

RED against unmodified production code, by design: the six shipped
manifests still declare the key and collectReviewerWarnings emits nothing
for hostBehaviors.

Refs #2801

* chore(#2801): remove the hostBehaviors.reviewerCli deprecated alias

ADR-2782 D9, Phase 7 — the final phase of epic #2782.

The derived legacy alias survived one release (Phase 5a shipped in 1.9.0;
1.9.1 and 1.10.0 have since gone out), so it goes. A declared reviewer
body is now the only route onto the reviewer roster.

- deriveReviewerSlugs no longer reads runtime.hostBehaviors.reviewerCli
- the key is stripped from the six manifests that carried it; each already
  declares a reviewer body whose slug equals its capability id, so the
  derived roster is unchanged at the same twelve slugs
- collectReviewerWarnings emits a presence-based, non-fatal removal notice
  for any manifest still declaring the key, reaching both the build-time
  registry generation and the third-party overlay load path. The check runs
  before the reviewer-body early-return, because the manifest it exists for
  is the alias-only one that has no body.
- hostBehaviors stays an open, unvalidated bag for its other 59 keys; this
  adds one keyed removal notice, not general validation

Refs #2801

* refactor(#2801): give the reviewer-warning channel a typed IR

Review finding: the new tests asserted with String#includes() on the
warning prose, which CONTRIBUTING.md's 'Prohibited: Raw Text Matching on
Test Outputs' bans in favor of a typed intermediate representation.

Adds the IR beside the renderer rather than replacing it, which is the
shape that section prescribes and bin/verify-reapply-patches.cjs already
models:

- REVIEWER_WARNING, a frozen code enum
- REMOVED_REVIEWER_CLI_FIELD, so the emitting site and its test share one
  symbol instead of duplicating a literal
- collectReviewerWarningRecords(cap), returning typed records

collectReviewerWarnings(cap) keeps its exact string[] contract as a thin
map over the records, so both production consumers are untouched. Every
section-K row now asserts on record.code/field/capId and none on the
rendered message. Locks the code surface, asserts the renderer stays
one-to-one with the records, and migrates the pre-existing Phase 2 test
on the same channel off prose matching.

Refs #2801

* test(#2801): invert the section F alias fall-through regression row

Caught by the remote runner: 2 unique failures on both Node lanes out of
31,692. tests/reviewer-lane-declarations.test.cjs section F — Phase 5a's
isolated-security-review regressions — asserted that a blank reviewer.slug
falls through to the hostBehaviors.reviewerCli alias rather than dropping
the lane. That is the direct inverse of this phase's contract.

The original rationale held only while the alias existed. With it gone
there is nothing to fall through to: a blank body is not a declaration,
and a declaration is the only route onto the roster.

Inverted rather than deleted — the row carries the adversarial-review
provenance for the slug trim, and removing a security regression guard to
make a change pass is backwards. The duplicate row added earlier in
section C is dropped instead; section F is its canonical home.

Also corrects two count strings Phase 5b left at eleven while asserting
twelve, which would misreport on failure.

Refs #2801

* docs(#2801): give the removed reviewerCli flag a migration path

The Reference edit alone satisfied CI — a file under docs/ moved, so
lint-docs-required.cjs was green — while the task-oriented quadrant said
nothing about the removal. A maintainer whose lane had just gone silent
would have found the field documented as removed and no page telling them
what to do about it.

Adds a migration section to the how-to: the symptom, the verbatim warning
they will see, the before/after manifest, and the note to keep the
reviewer slug equal to the capability id so existing
review.default_reviewers entries and --<slug> flags survive.

Refs #2801

* chore(#2801): backfill changeset pr number to 3272

* feat(#2801): close the runtime.hostBehaviors vocabulary

ADR-1016 closes twelve descriptor axes and rejects an open escape hatch
in the descriptor. It never mentioned runtime.hostBehaviors, and that
silence was read as permission: 59 keys across 18 manifests, 39 of them
set by a single capability, validated by nothing. The reference docs went
further and attributed the open seam to ADR-1016, which does not mention
the field at all.

KNOWN_HOST_BEHAVIORS enumerates the vocabulary. An undeclared key yields a
non-fatal UNKNOWN_HOST_BEHAVIOR record on the same D4.3 channel as the
alias removal notice, reaching both build-time generation and overlay
install.

Warning, never error, for the reason this phase exists: an error would
hard-break an out-of-tree descriptor carrying a bespoke key with no
deprecation window, which is what reviewerCli was given a release to
avoid. Escalation is a separate decision.

reviewerCli is excluded from the unknown-key sweep so it keeps its own
notice with the migration pointer rather than drawing two records.

A parity test binds the vocabulary to the shipped manifests in both
directions, and a second asserts no shipped capability draws a notice, so
the closure is provably inert in-tree.

Records the decision and the miscitation as an ADR-1016 amendment.

Refs #2801

* fix(#2801): bound and sanitize the unknown-key diagnostics

Two findings from an isolated adversarial review of the closure commit,
both proven by execution rather than asserted.

MAJOR, introduced by the closure: the new Object.keys(hostBehaviors) sweep
had no ceiling. An installed third-party manifest is bounded only by
MANIFEST_MAX_BYTES, and an 8.69MB manifest with 800,000 keys produced
800,000 records and ~139MB of message text, retained for the registry's
lifetime in OverlayMeta.diagnostics. Now capped at ten records plus a
summary carrying omittedCount, mirroring capability-loader's existing
slice(0,3) idiom. The same manifest now yields 11 records and 1748 chars.

MINOR, newly reachable: manifest-supplied key names were interpolated raw.
Unlike cap.id, which validateCapability gates on KEBAB_RE before these
diagnostics run, hostBehaviors keys have no grammar check anywhere, so
ANSI escapes and CRLF reached stderr and OverlayMeta.warnings intact. New
describeKey replaces C0/C1 controls and clips at 80 chars. The file
already had describeValue for this and applied it only to values.

Both fixes land on the pre-existing reviewer.* sweep too — it carried the
identical pair, and fixing only the new copy would leave the same defect
one screen from its own fix.

58d73dd220 enhance(#3241): omit the codex per-agent model by default (#3276)
* test(#3241): failing-first suite for the codex passive model posture

Locks ADR-2313's D1-D5 before any production code exists, so the tests
bind to the behavior rather than to whatever the implementation happens
to do.

Red-first (fail against the current tree):
  - the resolver path emits no `model` and no `model_reasoning_effort`
  - a whitespace-only model_overrides value yields no pin
  - isAnthropicFlavoredModel / CLAUDE_AGENT_ALIASES on model-catalog
  - the one-time install notice, and its once-per-install dedupe

Regression guards (pass today, must keep passing): resolver-null via
`inherit` and via absent runtime; a resolver that resolves to nothing;
empty-string and non-string overrides; and the light-tier
service_tier/model_verbosity fields, which are NOT coupled to the model
pin and would silently regress if the implementation coupled them.

Classifying each test as red-first or regression guard is deliberate.
A test that passes on both sides of the change proves nothing, and this
epic has already shipped two such rows before catching them.

The whitespace case is a live defect, not a quirk: `'   '` is truthy,
survives the type guard, is not Anthropic-flavored, and is embedded
verbatim as `model = "   "` — the same class the #2310 guard exists to
stop. Same function, same path, fixed in this phase per CLAUDE.md §3.

Two matrix rows were dropped as vacuous rather than shipped green: a
64-char truncation case (the pinned notice interpolates no
user-controlled value, so it cannot exhibit truncation) and a newline
hazard that the input surface cannot reach.

* feat(#3241): omit the codex per-agent model by default

Implements ADR-2313 D1-D5. generateCodexAgentToml no longer embeds the
runtime resolver's per-tier Codex model, so an agent inherits the
always-available session model instead of a pin a ChatGPT-account Codex
may not expose. model_reasoning_effort disappears with it via the
existing hasPinnedModel coupling (#838) — no logic change needed there.

Supersedes #2517's embedding on the default path only. An explicit
real-Codex model_overrides pin is still embedded verbatim, and the #2310
Anthropic-flavored guard is retained: the model_overrides route to it is
still live even though the resolver route is now unreachable.

The shared rule moves down a layer. CLAUDE_AGENT_ALIASES leaves
model-resolver for model-catalog — a genuine leaf importing only
node:path and its own JSON — with isAnthropicFlavoredModel defined beside
it, and is re-exported from model-resolver so every existing importer is
untouched. This is what lets Phase 2's install-check and Phase 3's sync
consume the rule without taking the config-loader dependency
model-resolver would have dragged into a module documented as pure
read/verify with 33 dependents. A parity test fails if the two ever fork.

Also fixes a live defect surfaced while writing the tests: a
whitespace-only model_overrides value was truthy, survived the type
guard, was not Anthropic-flavored, and so was embedded verbatim as
`model = "   "` — the same class the #2310 guard exists to stop, reached
by a different route. Trimmed before the truthiness test. It is
deliberately not routed through _warnCodexModelOverrideDropped, whose
text would misdescribe a blank field as a mis-typed model.

Adds the one-time install notice (maintainer direction, recorded as an
ADR-2313 amendment): one stderr line naming model_overrides and the
session model, deduped per install rather than per agent, and emitted
only for the population that actually loses a pin.

service_tier and model_verbosity stay decoupled from the model (#774);
a regression guard asserts they still emit with nothing pinned.

* docs(#3241): amend ADR-2313, add the model-catalog glossary entry

ADR-2313 gains two dated amendments rather than edits to its merged
text, since ADRs here are append-only.

The first records that a deprecation notice IS offered, reversing the
Migration section's "no deprecation window" position, and states why
that position was wrong rather than just superseding it: the ADR
identified the API-key population as losing something real and then
declined to warn it, in the same document. Hyrum's guidance was applied
to the recourse and not to the notice.

The second records the whitespace-only model_overrides defect and notes
that D2 always implied the fix — the implementation simply never
enforced it and no test covered the case.

CONTEXT.md gains a Model Catalog Module entry. The module had none,
which is why the glossary gate passed without one: check-glossary-refs
verifies that references resolve, not that modules are documented. The
entry records why the Anthropic-flavored rule lives there rather than in
model-resolver, so a later reader does not "helpfully" move it back. The
Model Resolver entry is updated to point at its new home and note the
back-compat re-export.

docs/CONFIGURATION.md carried a claim that is now false: that the
resolved tier ID is embedded into agent frontmatter at install time on
codex and opencode. Corrected to name codex as the exception, with the
400 symptom and the model_overrides recourse.

Changeset leads with the user-visible change and the migration line
rather than the implementation, per the ADR's Hyrum's-Law analysis.

* fix(#3241): only notice a lost pin when one was actually embeddable

Review finding from an isolated reviewer. The deprecation notice gated
on whether the runtime resolver would have returned *any* model, but the
question that matters is whether that model would have been *embedded*.

Those differ. The #2310 safety gate already rejected an Anthropic-
flavored model arriving from the resolver path before Phase 1 — so for a
mixed-runtime config resolving to a claude-* id against a Codex install
target, the user never had that pin. The notice told them they lost
something they never got, and pointed them at model_overrides for no
reason.

The existing #2310 test drives exactly that path but asserts only the
emitted `model` line, never stderr, which is why it slipped through. Now
covered.

Deliberately unchanged: an Anthropic-flavored model_overrides value plus
a legal resolver model fires BOTH the override warning and the notice.
That is correct — pre-Phase-1 the guard dropped the override, execution
fell through to the resolver, and the resolver's model was embedded, so
that user did lose a pin. Two messages, two distinct true facts, and the
prefixes differ (`gsd: warning — ` vs `gsd: notice — `) so the
one-notice-per-install contract holds. A regression test now pins that
behavior so it does not get "simplified" away.

Of the three tests added, only the first is red-first; the other two
pass on both sides by design and are labelled as guards — one against
over-correcting the fix into silence, one against removing the
intentional double message.

* fix(#3241): reset the notice dedupe via a seam, not a require.cache bust

The remote runner caught a regression I introduced: the #2760
post-write-validation test began failing with the validator override no
longer intercepting.

Cause, confirmed by trace rather than guessed: the new #3241 review
tests deleted require.cache for bin/install.js and re-required it mid
suite, to clear the notice's module-level dedupe flag. But
runCodexInstall destructures `install` at file load, closing over the
ORIGINAL module's exports. After the cache bust a second instance
existed, so the test's `installModule.__codexSchemaValidator = ...`
mutated the new object while the code under test still called the old
one. The override silently stopped intercepting, the real validator ran
and passed on GSD-emitted output, and the abort-and-restore path was
never exercised.

Cache-busting a module mid-suite breaks every later test that assumes a
single instance, which every other test in the file is entitled to. So
the fix is a seam, not a workaround: bin/install.js exports
_resetCodexNoticeDedupeForTests(), and the three tests call it directly
instead of reloading the module.

The flag is module-level by design — the dedupe is per-install and
install() already resets it — so a unit test driving
generateCodexAgentToml directly needs an explicit way to reset it. That
is now what it has.

Swept the rest of the #3241 diff for the same hazard; this flag was the
only shared module-level state introduced.

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

* fix(#3241): reset both codex dedupe stores, not just the notice flag

Second incomplete fix, same class one layer down. bin/install.js keeps
TWO module-level dedupe stores and the require.cache bust I removed had
been papering over both; my replacement seam cleared only one.

_codexModelOverrideDroppedWarned is a Set keyed `${agent}::${value}`.
tests/codex-config.test.cjs:558 already emits for `gsd-executor::sonnet`,
so by the time the review test using the same agent and value ran,
_warnCodexModelOverrideDropped was a silent no-op and the expected
warning never appeared.

The seam now clears both stores and is renamed to say so. Its comment
records that per-install dedupe lives in module scope deliberately and
that this is the single sanctioned way for a unit test to clear it.

Swept bin/install.js for every other module-scope mutable a test could
latch. Two are inert (capability registries assigned once at require
time; selectedRuntimes computed once from argv). One is a genuine latent
hazard and is deliberately NOT folded in: attributionCache (:1654)
memoizes getCommitAttribution by runtime name for process lifetime, so
two in-process installs of one runtime with differing attribution config
would collide. It is unreachable from any current test and is a
different concern from Codex warning dedupe, so it stays out of this PR
rather than widening it.

* docs(#3241): correct the codex tier-routing how-to

The docs gate forced the task-oriented quadrant and found the worst
defect in this change's documentation surface.

docs/how-to/configure-model-profiles.md carried a section titled "If you
want tiered models on Codex" telling users to set runtime:codex +
model_profile:balanced, promising "GSD resolves each tier alias to the
Codex-native model and reasoning effort defined in the runtime tier
map." That is exactly the behavior this PR removes — a how-to page
confidently instructing users to do something that no longer works,
which is worse than a missing page because it fails at the moment of
use.

Rewritten to state that Codex does no tier routing, give the
model_overrides pin as the supported alternative, and name the two
constraints on what may be pinned: it must be a real Codex model id, and
the account must actually expose it — GSD cannot verify the second, so
the honest advice when unsure is to omit the pin. Carries an upgrade
note for both account types, since the change is a no-op for ChatGPT
accounts and a real loss for API-key ones.

Also tightened the same page's claim that Codex "embeds the resolved
model" at install time — now true only of an explicit override. The
re-install instruction it supports is still correct and still needed, so
only the premise moved.

Both the required-docs set (COMMANDS.md + FEATURES.md) and
lint-docs-required.cjs would have passed before this commit, since
CONFIGURATION.md and the ADR had already moved. Neither checks the
quadrant a user in trouble actually opens.

4b69dc346b fix(#2725): repoint the pre-commit alias guard at sources git can actually stage, drop nine dead ones (#3273)
* test(#2725): failing-first coverage for the inert pre-commit alias guard

Replaces two stale tests that asserted on `sdk/src/query/command-manifest.phase.ts`
— a path retired with the SDK boundary (ADR-0174), so both passed forever while
guarding nothing.

The new matrix drives .githooks/pre-commit through its GIT_OVERRIDE/NPM_OVERRIDE
seams and asserts on the real tracked sources the drift checker reads. Red until
the guard is repointed off the gitignored build outputs it currently watches.

* fix(#2725): repoint the pre-commit alias guard at sources git can actually stage

`.githooks/pre-commit` carried ten staged-path guards and not one of them could
do its job.

Nine anchored on `^sdk/…`, a tree retired by ADR-0174, and invoked npm scripts
that no longer exist (`check:state-document-fresh` and eight siblings). Their
only reachable behavior was to abort the commit with `Missing script` — which
required matching a path that cannot exist, so they were dead twice over.

The tenth was the real defect. Its npm target does exist, but it matched
`^gsd-core/bin/lib/command-aliases\.cjs$` — a gitignored build output
(.gitignore:172). An ignored path never appears in `git diff --cached
--name-only`, so the guard was not stale, it was structurally unmatchable: it
watched the derived layer instead of the source layer, from the day it was
written.

Repointed at the nine tracked `src/*.cts` sources `scripts/check-alias-drift.cjs`
actually reads. The family table moves to `scripts/lib/alias-drift-families.cjs`
so the checker and the hook derive their surface from one list, and a new parity
test fails if a family is added to the checker without the hook learning to watch
its source — the rot mechanism, not just this instance of it.

Matching is now `grep -Fxqf` (fixed strings, whole line): exact path equality,
no regex anchors to get wrong as the list grows. Staged paths are collected into
a variable before matching, because `grep -q` exits on first match and would
SIGPIPE its upstream, which under `set -o pipefail` turns a successful match into
a non-zero pipeline status.

The two CONTRIBUTING.md recipes pasted copies of the hook bodies inline — a third
parallel surface, and one that had already drifted: the pre-commit copy carried
the same dead `sdk/` patterns, and the pre-push copy would have overwritten the
committed hook with a paraphrase that drops the GIT_OVERRIDE seam its test drives.
Both now just point git at the committed files. The pre-push recipe's
`'@example-corp\\.com$'` also never matched anything — inside single quotes bash
keeps both backslashes.

`.githooks/pre-push` was audited for the same rot and has none: it keys on no
paths, no-ops unless GSD_BLOCKED_AUTHOR_REGEX is set, and is covered. Unchanged.

Hooks stay opt-in. Nothing registers `core.hooksPath` for you, per
CONTRIBUTING.md's documented one-time setup.

* test(#2725): make the hook/checker parity assertion bidirectional

Review finding from the isolated adversarial pass: the parity row only caught
the hook UNDER-watching relative to scripts/lib/alias-drift-families.cjs. Drop a
family from the module and the hook would keep watching its source with nothing
to notice — the same divergence class this change exists to close, just pointed
the other way.

The new row takes every `src/*-command-router.cts` on disk as the universe and
asserts the hook stays silent for the eight routers the drift check does not
read. Both directions are now covered by running the real hook, not by comparing
two lists in the test.

Also corrects a CONTRIBUTING.md overclaim caught by the standards pass: 9 of the
11 watched paths derive from the module, not all 11 — bash cannot require a CJS
module, so the hook carries literals and the test is what binds them.

* fix(#2725): ship the shared family table and fix the mock that hid its own rows

Three defects the remote runner caught that local probing did not.

The mock `git` in the regression test emitted its staged-path payload as
`printf '%s' "src/command-aliases.cts\n"`. Bash does not expand `\n` inside a
double-quoted string and printf does not expand escapes in a `%s` argument, so
the mock produced one unterminated line containing a literal backslash-n. No
whole-line match could ever succeed, and every row that expects the hook to FIRE
failed while every row that expects silence passed — which is exactly the
signature the run reported: 9 failures, all of them fire-expecting rows. The
payload now goes through a file the mock `cat`s, which is byte-exact and is what
makes the CR-terminated and empty-staged-list rows mean what they say.

`scripts/lib/alias-drift-families.cjs` was not enumerated in
`GSD_SCRIPTS_LIB_FILES` (bin/install.js:377), so the installer never copied it.
That is not cosmetic: `scripts/check-alias-drift.cjs` ships, and it now requires
this module — an installed tree would have failed with MODULE_NOT_FOUND the
first time a consumer ran `check:alias-drift`. Added to the manifest, which is
what the #3184 install/uninstall parity tests assert against `readdirSync`.

Regenerated the 19 committed install-tree fixtures via `npm run gen:install-tree`
to record the new emitted path. The diff is +1 line per fixture and nothing else.

`npm run lint:ci` exits 0. The earlier claim that `scripts/` is outside the
emitted surface was wrong: `scripts/lib/` is copied into every runtime's install
tree, which is why 19 golden-install-tree cases moved.

12bda8e844 docs(#3268): next does require up-to-date; correct CONTRIBUTING and branching (#3269)
CONTRIBUTING.md said branch protection on `next` has the "up-to-date before
merging" flag DISABLED and that "the rebase treadmill is gone for the 95%
case". docs/branching.md repeated it three times. The live protection says
the opposite:

  $ gh api repos/open-gsd/gsd-core/branches/next/protection \
      --jq '.required_status_checks.strict'
  true

This is not a cosmetic nit — it misstates the cost model of every PR in the
repo. A contributor plans for no rebase, then finds their PR BEHIND at merge
time. And because the push gate binds its pass marker to an exact sha, that
rebase invalidates the marker and forces a full remote re-verification plus
another CI cycle. Believing the treadmill is gone is how you pay for it
unplanned, late, on a PR that looked finished — observed on PR #3261.

Both files now state the real requirement, show the one-line command to
verify it, and name the sha-invalidation consequence with the practical
advice that follows from it: rebase LAST, immediately before pushing for
review, rather than paying for a verification you are about to discard.

What was true in the original text is kept: `next` moves far less often than
`main` did, so the rebase frequency really is much lower. The claim that was
wrong was that the requirement does not exist.

2e2b8ba4a7 enhance(#2704): resolve documentation links and compare H1 status brackets in the ADR gate (#3266)
* test(#2704): failing-first coverage for ADR link resolution and H1 status brackets

Binds the gate to two assertions it does not yet make: every relative markdown
link under docs/adr/ must resolve, and an H1 trailing status bracket must agree
with the Status: field instead of being silently stripped.

Covers all 51 rows of the phase test matrix across two altitudes - the pure
extractLinks/maskCode IR for fence and inline-code-span boundaries, hostile
input and the fast-check totality properties, and the real CLI verdict for the
end-to-end classes. Includes the DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX parity test that iterates
the exported STATUSES array so a sixth status is covered the day it is added.

* feat(#2704): resolve ADR documentation links and compare H1 status brackets

The ADR gate validated naming, relation symmetry and index freshness but never
resolved a link target, and it stripped an ADR's trailing H1 status bracket for
display rather than comparing it against that ADR's own Status: field. Both
classes were structurally invisible: #2691 found five dangling references by
manual audit roughly a year after they were introduced, one of which reached the
published npm payload, while CI reported green throughout.

Both are now assertions on the same --check path, using only node:fs and
node:path - no dependency and no subprocess.

Fenced blocks and inline code spans are masked before scanning, because markdown
does not render a link inside code. That is not a policy choice: the corpus
contains exactly two such sequences today and both are ordinary JavaScript.
Masking preserves length and column positions so findings still name a real line.

Resolution is case-exact on every platform - a link that resolves only through
macOS or Windows case-folding still 404s on github.com and still fails the Linux
lane - and a destination resolving outside the repository is reported before any
filesystem call is made.

Also single-sources two duplicated surfaces this change would otherwise have
extended: the H1 bracket vocabulary (a second hand-written copy of STATUSES with
nothing asserting agreement, a DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX instance) and the docs/adr
directory traversal. Two tests added by #2691 that reimplemented link resolution
and bracket comparison inside the test file are removed for the same reason; the
corpus assertion is now made by running the real gate against the real corpus.

* fix(#2704): reject symlinks that leave the repository and linearize code masking

Four defects from the isolated adversarial security review, plus one it noted.

BLOCKER - a symlink defeated path containment. path.relative(ROOT, abs) is
purely lexical, but the case-exact walk then calls readdirSync, which follows
symlinks at the OS level: a contributor-committed docs/adr/x -> /etc together
with a link through it passed containment and listed the real external
directory, and a wrong-case probe echoed a real external filename through the
"Did you mean" hint into publicly-readable fork-PR logs. Every segment is now
lstat'd before descent; a symlink is realpathed and re-checked against
realpath(ROOT) - realpath on both sides, so a root under /var does not produce
false escapes - and an escape emits no hint and reads nothing further.

The same rule now governs which FILES are read: an ADR entry that is a symlink
out of the repository is excluded and reported rather than parsed, closing the
vector this change had widened by newly reading README.md, naming-violation
files, and full bodies rather than only header fields.

MAJOR - inline-span masking rescanned the line remainder per backtick run,
roughly O(n^1.6) on adversarial input: 1.76s for an 800KB line. Rewritten as a
single linear pass pairing runs through forward-only per-length cursors. Same
input now takes 3.31ms, with behavior unchanged.

MINOR - an unreadable or broken entry threw, and the generic handler wrote a
raw stack trace carrying absolute CI paths to stderr. The scan is now
fault-tolerant and reports excluded entries as ordinary violations. The status
vocabulary is escaped before being interpolated into a dynamic RegExp -
defence-in-depth, not a live bug.

The containment predicate had reached three hand-written copies while fixing
this; it is now the single escapesRoot() helper used by all four call sites.

* feat(#2704): add a --json report so the gate's tests assert on typed values

Maintainer-directed addition. CONTRIBUTING.md's "Prohibited: Raw Text Matching
on Test Outputs" requires that a system under test producing text also expose a
structured intermediate representation, and that tests assert on that IR rather
than on rendered prose. This gate had no such surface, so its verdict tests
matched on stderr.

--json runs exactly the same validation as --check and writes a report to stdout
with the same exit code, following the frozen-REASON-enum pattern already used
by verify-reapply-patches.cjs. Every violation carries a stable reason code plus
the fields a consumer needs, so nothing has to pattern-match an error message.
Adding a reason stays three coordinated changes - the enum, the emitting site,
and the test locking Object.keys(REASON).sort().

The human output is unchanged, deliberately: a large pre-existing suite asserts
on it and migrating that is not this PR's concern. Verified by running the
pre-change and post-change scripts against an identical violating corpus and
diffing their stderr - character-for-character identical.

This PR's own verdict tests now assert on parsed --json. Absence checks improve
the most: "no bracket violation" is now a reason-code predicate rather than a
negative regex over prose, which could pass for the wrong reason. The security
assertions were strengthened rather than translated - no leaked filename may
appear in ANY field of the serialized report.

Unknown flags are now rejected instead of silently falling through to printing
the index.

* test(#2704): fix the status-parity fixture and guard hooks/dist before overlay builds

Two failures from the matrix run of 79b29909.

The status-parity fixture was mine. It built, per status token, an ADR whose H1
bracket and Status field both carried that token - but Superseded carries an
obligation beyond the bracket: it must name its successor as a file link and be
symmetric with it. The fixture declared a bare Superseded, tripped that
unrelated invariant, and the test reported a bracket-parity failure for a reason
that had nothing to do with bracket parity. The fixture now satisfies each
token's own obligations in both the agreeing and contradicting corpora, derived
from the status actually declared rather than special-cased on one name, so a
future token carrying obligations is handled rather than silently skipped.

The second failure was not mine but is fixed here rather than deferred.
mcp-catalog-parity.install.test.cjs hardlinks hooks/dist/* while building its
overlay, but hooks/dist is a gitignored build artifact produced only by
build:hooks. The suite had no guard, so it passed only when some other suite
happened to build it first - an execution-order dependency, which is why it
failed on node22 and passed on node24 for identical code. install.test.cjs
already documents this exact hazard and guards it.

Six behaviorally identical copies of that guard existed across three files.
Rather than add a seventh, they are now one canonical
tests/helpers/hooks-dist.cjs - idempotent and bounded by the shared
BUILD_TIMEOUT_MS class norm - which is the same single-sourcing this PR applies
to the ADR gate itself.

* docs(#2704): add a how-to for contributors the ADR gate rejects

The reference and explanation quadrants were covered by Lifecycle rules 5 and 6,
but the task-oriented one was thin: a contributor meets this gate because it
failed on their PR, under pressure, and the rules told them what is checked
without telling them what to do about it.

Adds the command to reproduce the CI failure locally and a message-to-remedy
table covering every reason code that can be hit - unresolved target, wrong case
with the did-you-mean hint, repository escape, symlinked ADR file, bracket
contradiction - plus the backtick escape hatch for illustrative links and the
caveat that indented code blocks are not skipped.

The table is itself written in backticked inline code, so the gate skips it: the
escape hatch demonstrated on the page that documents it.

2ac21c7fdb docs(#2980): ratify the payload-carried error idiom as a degraded result (#3270)
* docs(#2980): ratify the payload-carried error idiom as a degraded result

Records ADR-2980: an `error` key in a gsd-tools result payload on stdout with
exit 0 is a ratified contract meaning the command ran to completion and is
reporting a condition, not a process failure. Faults keep stderr + exit 1 +
--json-errors.

Normalizing the 42 output({error}) sites to exit 1 was declined on measured
blast radius (get_impact rates cmdStateSnapshot CRITICAL; output has 170 direct
callers) — a Hyrum's Law break with no versioning escape hatch for an exit code.

Adds the "Degraded results vs faults" section to docs/json-errors.md with a
correct-caller recipe, indexes that page from docs/README.md, and records the
two-channel contract in the CONTEXT.md I/O Module entry. No code change.

Closes #2980

* docs(#2980): correct the site count and cross-refs after review

The isolated review found the population figure was the answer to a regex,
not to the question. `output\(\{\s*error:` only matches literals whose FIRST
key is `error`; re-deriving it by brace-matching output()'s first argument
gives 60 sites across 9 modules (42 error-first + 18 error-not-first), adding
workstream.cts, phase.cts and gsd2-import.cts. roadmap.cts:260 is the case in
point — it carries `error` alongside `found:false` and is the site that
actually produces the documented `roadmap get-phase` output.

Also from review: correct the --raw claim (11 sites pass a rawValue, not 2),
reconcile the missing-required-argument count to the 7 verified sites, link
the bare ADR-2966 references per the ADR lifecycle rule, and fix 'licence'
to American spelling.

c07297cd50 docs(#2869): record ADR-2866 install-surface resolution (#3265)
Phase 0 of epic #2866. Records the decision that the install pipeline
resolves surface identity — (runtime × scope × trigger) — as a value
instead of implying it from destination paths.

The ADR makes four things explicit:

- Amends ADR-3660 (placement -> placement + trigger resolution) and says
  why placement-only stopped paying: the /gsd-<name> trigger two
  artifacts collide on is not a value anywhere, so #2218 cannot be
  stated by any module or test.
- Adds one axis to ADR-1016's deliberately-closed descriptor vocabulary
  (host trigger precedence), required-with-default so ADR-894's
  additive-only stability contract holds.
- Records the @-include constraint (expands ~, does NOT expand env
  vars, no conditional syntax) as the reason #2218 triage option 1 is
  REFUTED rather than merely deprioritized.
- Notes the non-conflicts: completes ADR-58 rather than revising it,
  and preserves ADR-1508's dependency direction.

ADR-3660 and ADR-1016 each gain the reciprocal Amended by back-link,
matching the corpus convention ADR-2782 already set on ADR-1016. Each
states that the decision is recorded now while the modules change at
Phase 2 (#2871), so no reader is told a widening has already shipped.

Also corrects CONTEXT.md's Installer Module entry: bin/install.js is
hand-authored, not generated. ADR-1508 states this verbatim and no
build step emits it; the stale annotation invites contributors to look
for a generator that does not exist.

Docs-only. Verified via the remote runner.

* test(#2596): failing-first suite for worktree-wave scope conformance

Binds the advisory diff-vs-declared-scope check to behavior before it exists:
the pure coverage predicate, the SUMMARY-artifact exemption and its parity with
the rescue walker, the gauntlet integration (never flips ok, degrades on a git
failure, survives a later block), the manifest normalizer's files_modified
handling, and the --files negative-input matrix on record-agent/create.

* enhance(#2596): warn when a wave branch commits outside its declared scope

The worktree-wave merge gauntlet validated branch, base, deletions, SUMMARY
rescue and a clean worktree, but never compared a plan branch's actual
committed diff against the files_modified the plan declared — so an executor
that committed outside its brief merged into shared phase state silently.

Adds an advisory scope-conformance check: when the manifest entry carries a
declared scope, the gauntlet diffs HEAD...<branch> and appends one structured
warning per path outside it. It never flips ok and never blocks the merge;
promotion to a hard gate is a separate, disclosed change. With no declared
scope no git subprocess is spent at all.

  scope comparison so the exemption and the check cannot drift
- wire --files into the orchestrator-worktree dispatch, which created a
  worktree but never declared its scope, so the advisory silently did not
  apply on that backend; ADR-1239 requires both adapters share one check
- correct the now-false blockquote claiming the check does not exist yet
- add the fast-check property tests the repo requires for parser logic
- add the record-agent/create parity test that Generative Fix Divergence
  requires for two surfaces implementing one rule

Refs #2596

* fix(#2596): keep execute-phase.md under the frozen pre-phase-6 byte ceiling

The one-sentence note added with the --files flag pushed execute-phase.md to
93708 bytes, past the ADR-857 PRE_PHASE6 cap of 93600 — the tightest of the
three workflow size gates, and a hard cap an acknowledgment cannot clear. It
failed three tests plus the differential attribution check.

Condense the note to a one-line pointer (93543, 57 B of headroom); the full
explanation already lives in docs/CLI-TOOLS.md and the dispatch step. The flag
itself stays in the command, because the orchestrator reads this workflow at
runtime and cannot pick it up from docs/.

Acknowledge the remaining 143 B of growth by appending to the existing
execute-phase.md fragment rather than adding a second one — the ack lint
rejects two sources naming the same path.

Refs #2596

* fix(#2596): make the execute-phase.md edit net-negative, not merely under the cap

The size gate on this file is two assertions, not one: bytes < 93600 AND
bytes <= 93400. The base is exactly 93400, so the file is at its budget and
any growth trips the margin assertion — the previous fix cleared the ceiling
but not that.

Move the --files explanation to per-plan-worktree-gate.md, which already owns
PLAN_FILES and carries no cap, and reclaim the rest from two clauses in the
sentence being edited: the cleanup-wave rules phrasing, and a 'non-zero exit'
the very next sentence already states. execute-phase.md ends at 93392, eight
bytes below base. The flag itself stays in the command — the orchestrator
reads this workflow at runtime and cannot pick it up from docs/.

With no growth left, the acknowledgment is unnecessary and its byte delta was
no longer true, so the shared ack fragment is restored byte-identical to base.

* docs(#2596): add the how-to for interpreting scope-conformance warnings

The docs for this change were entirely Reference — the flag and the warning
codes — with the task-oriented quadrant empty. Adds the page that answers the
question an operator actually has when the advisory fires: what the two codes
mean, that nothing is blocked so there is no failure to hunt for, how to tell
whether the executor over-reached or the plan under-declared, and the three
ways the check legitimately stays silent so an absence of warnings is not
mistaken for proof of conformance.

b183317abd docs(#3256): ratify ADR-2363 to Accepted (#3260)
Both phases of epic #2363 have landed and the epic is closed as
completed, so ADR-2363's own stated ratification bar is met: #3248
merged, the consent summary renders instruction surfaces, and a passing
test pins the D4 signature behavior.

Adds the dated Ratification section the corpus requires, naming the
files, symbols and tests for each of D1-D5, and restores the reciprocal
back-link on ADR-1244 - owed only on ratification, which is why the
premature flip in 4d26887e correctly withdrew it.

Records the judgment call the ratification rests on rather than burying
it: D3 classifies instruction surfaces as skills and agents, and the
mechanism discloses skills only. Third-party agents are never staged
into the instruction context, so disclosing them would have named a
surface that does not exist. Everything actually staged is disclosed,
which is what the decision requires; whether agents should be staged is
recorded in D5 as an open maintainer question.

Docs-only. No behavior change.

Closes #3256

9f57fa43ed docs(#3240): record the codex passive/session-only model posture (#3251)
* docs(#3240): record the codex passive/session-only model posture

ADR-2313 locks the install-time contract for epic #2313: omit the
per-agent model from generated ~/.codex/agents/<agent>.toml by default
so the agent inherits the always-available Codex session model, embed
one only for an explicit real-Codex model_overrides pin, and keep
model_reasoning_effort coupled to a pinned model (#838). Supersedes
#2517's per-tier embedding on the default path only.

Also records the reader/writer boundary the downstream phases need
(strict writer, liberal-but-visible readers, never partially rewrite an
unparseable .toml), the migration path for API-key Codex users, and the
Phase 5 the coverage gate found unowned.

Amends ADR-1239 with a dated section: its effortSurface amendment
described this ADR as "not yet written", and the install-time vs
invocation-time boundary is now stated from both sides.

Docs-only. The posture is not real until Phase 1 (#3241) merges.

* fix(#3240): remove the ADR index count cells that race between PRs

The generated region of docs/adr/README.md carried three numeric cells —
a per-group `### <heading> (N)` and a `_N ADRs._` footer — that every
ADR-adding PR must rewrite. Two PRs adding different ADRs merge their
table rows cleanly, since those are distinct lines, but both rewrite the
same count lines, so whichever lands second gets a green local
`gen-adr-index.cjs --check` and a red CI one: CI evaluates the PR merged
with next, where the count reflects both ADRs.

That is not hypothetical. It reddened this PR: ADR-2313 regenerated the
index at 75 while #3249 landed ADR-3247 concurrently, making the merged
tree 76.

The counts carry no verification value — --check regenerates and diffs
the whole region regardless — and are derivable by reading the table, so
they are removed rather than tolerated. Loosening --check to ignore them
would have let genuine staleness through. This is the shared-mutable-cell
problem CHANGELOG.md and the drift acks already solved with per-PR
fragment files; here removing the cell is enough.

The regression test locks the invariant rather than the symptom: adding
an ADR only INSERTS lines, so render(N) is a line-subsequence of
render(N+1). That is the property that makes concurrent PRs merge, and
unlike asserting the absence of one count format it fails for a count
reintroduced in any shape. Covered at append, lowest-id, middle-id,
empty-corpus, new-status-group, and hazardous-title positions; each names
the pre-fix line that would have failed it.

f96cb44f85 enhance(#3248): disclose capability skills as an instruction surface (#3253)
* test(#3248): failing-first suite for instruction-surface disclosure

28 matrix rows from 50-test-matrix.md. Rows requiring the new
Disclosure.instructionSurfaces field fail today; rows 18-20/23-25 (the
ADR-2363 D4 signature invariants) pass today by construction because the
current code never reads skills/agents at all, and stand as regression
guards for the implementation commit.

Refs #3248

* feat(#3248): disclose capability skills and agents as an instruction surface

ADR-2363 D5. A capability whose only contribution was skills disclosed
nothing at install: summarizeDisclosure early-returned "ships no executable
surfaces (declarative only)" because hasExecutable was false, while each
SKILL.md body landed verbatim in the agent's instruction context.

discloseExecutableSurfaces gains a fifth, NON-executable class,
instructionSurfaces, collecting declared skills/agents stems through the same
safeCollect wrapper as the four existing collectors, so a hostile value
degrades only this class and the function stays total for any manifest shape.
Nothing existing is edited: the collectors, hasExecutable, disclosureSignature
and missingArtifacts are untouched. get_impact rates the symbol CRITICAL at
196 affected, which is why the design is strictly additive.

D4 is implemented by omission and pinned rather than left incidental: adding,
changing or removing skills/agents leaves disclosureSignature byte-identical,
so no stored consent record is perturbed and no spurious re-consent fires.
ADR-2782's conditional-append trick is deliberately NOT reused - it worked
because no manifest could declare a reviewer body before that class existed,
whereas skills predate this one, so a conditional append would re-sign every
already-consented skill-bearing capability.

The renderer is extracted as summarizeInstructionSurfaces and called from BOTH
branches of summarizeDisclosure. Appending only at the end would never render
for skill-only capabilities - the ones that need it - since those take the
early return. That branch's "declarative only" claim is now conditional on
there being no instruction surface either. The renderer iterates rather than
spreading into push, so an unbounded stem count cannot throw RangeError, and
tolerates the bare {} the CLI edge passes via `res.disclosure || {}`.

Scope note: #3248's prose says "skill stems"; ADR-2363 D3 classifies
instruction surfaces as "skills, agents". Shipping skills alone would leave an
ADR deliverable owned by no phase, and the epic has no Phase 2. Agents are the
same shape at no extra cost. Narrowing back is a two-line change.

Ratifies ADR-2363 (Proposed -> Accepted) and adds the owed ADR-1244 back-link.

Closes #3248

* fix(#3248): escape consent-prompt values and narrow disclosure to skills

Two review findings, both of which made the previous commit wrong.

BLOCKER (isolated adversarial review). Every manifest-supplied value
interpolated into a consent-prompt line was rendered unescaped. Those lines
are joined with \n and written RAW to stderr on the needs-consent path
(capability-command-router -> cli-exit runMain), so a stem carrying a newline
forged additional lines indistinguishable from genuine GSD disclosure text,
and an ANSI escape could clear or rewrite lines already printed. That defeats
the informed-consent guarantee this change exists to provide, and is a
prompt-injection vector against any agent that reads the stderr text to decide
whether to retry with --yes.

The hole was not unique to the new class - hook event/script, command
family/module/router, every MCP field, and every reviewer-lane field were
equally unescaped. Fixing only the new one would have created the
generative-fix divergence this repo tracks, so renderValueForPrompt is applied
to all five classes through one helper, guarded by a parity test that fails if
a future class skips it. Escaping is identity for ordinary names, so no
well-formed manifest's output changes. The disclosure OBJECT stays verbatim -
only the rendered LINE is escaped - because the signature and every consumer
reasoning about identity depend on the declared value.

NARROWED to skills only. The previous commit also collected agents, arguing
ADR-2363 D3 classifies instruction surfaces as "skills, agents". Verified
against staging: stageSkillsForRuntimeAsSkills takes a registry and unions
third-party skills in via readInstalledCapabilitySkill, while
stageAgentsForRuntimeWithConverter takes only a source directory and has no
registry-aware path. Third-party agents are never staged into the instruction
context, so disclosing them would have put a false claim in a security prompt -
worse than the scope creep two reviewers flagged it as. D3's classification
stands; D5 now records that Phase 1 implements the skills half and that
whether agents should be staged at all is an open maintainer question.

Also reverts the premature ADR-2363 ratification. The previous commit flipped
it to Accepted and asserted "#3248 merged" while this branch IS #3248 and is
unmerged. Status returns to Proposed, and the ADR-1244 back-link - owed only on
ratification - is withdrawn.

Adds the fast-check property suite CLAUDE.md requires and the direct precedent
(reviewer-trust-disclosure) already had: totality, D4 signature invariance, D3
hasExecutable invariance, and renderer totality over adversarial manifests.

Refs #3248

* chore(#3248): correct changeset scope claim and backfill pr number

The fragment was written against the pre-narrowing commit and still
advertised 'skills and agents'. 4d26887e narrowed disclosure to skills
only - third-party agents are never staged into the instruction context -
but did not touch the fragment, so the release notes would have carried a
claim the code does not implement.

Also backfills pr:0 -> 3253 and names the prompt-escaping fix, which is
user-visible and was absent from the original body.

Changeset-only; no code or test changed, so the gsd-test pass recorded for
4d26887e still describes this tree's behavior.

dc9b299b4e fix(#2359): CHANGELOG 1.4.0 Cursor commands entry cites #805, not #803 (#3252)
* test(#2359): failing-first regression for the 1.4.0 Cursor commands citation

The `## [1.4.0]` CHANGELOG entry for the `.cursor/commands/` surface carries
the trailing reference (#803) — the Cline PR, cited correctly by the entry two
lines below. The Cursor surface shipped in #805 (feat(#785)).

Adds four behavioral cases to the owning module's test file, asserting through
parseChangelog (the same parser cmdExtract/cmdVerify/cmdRender use) rather than
raw text matching:

  1. the Cursor bullet cites 805               - FAILS before the fix
  2. the adjacent Cline bullet still cites 803 - guards a global s/803/805/
  3. exactly one Cursor bullet exists          - guards drop/duplicate
  4. the two bullets cite different PRs        - the defect as an invariant

Folded into tests/changeset-serialize.test.cjs rather than a new
bug-2359-*.test.cjs file, per scripts/lint-regression-test-names.cjs.

Refs #2359

* fix(#2359): CHANGELOG 1.4.0 Cursor commands entry cites #805, not #803

The `## [1.4.0]` entry for `gsd install --cursor` writing
`.cursor/commands/gsd-<name>.md` carried the trailing reference (#803). That
PR is `feat(#787): elevate Cline` — cited correctly by the entry two lines
below. The Cursor slash-command surface shipped in #805 (`feat(#785): write
.cursor/commands/ Cursor 1.6 slash-command surface`).

Two adjacent bullets therefore claimed one PR, and only the second was right.
The trailing (#NNNN) is machine-parsed by parseChangelog and consumed by
`changeset extract`, so the wrong number is live data, not only prose — and it
had already propagated to a human reporter (#2341, quoted there as
"#785 / #803").

Single-occurrence, line-anchored edit. The Cline entry's (#803) is correct and
is deliberately untouched; the regression test added in the preceding commit
asserts both, so a global s/803/805/ fails.

Prose is unchanged, including the "both surfaces are written on every install"
clause the issue explicitly certifies as accurate.

Fixes #2359

* chore(#2359): changeset fragment for the Cursor commands citation fix

* test(#2359): assert bullet cardinality before reading it

Review findings, one root cause: each of the four cases re-derived the bullet
list, re-filtered by marker, then destructured `const [x] = ...` and read `.pr`
unguarded. A reworded or deleted entry therefore died with

  TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'pr')

instead of naming what was missing. The repetition was also duplicated logic
across all four cases.

Adds locateBullet(version, marker, label), which asserts exactly one match
before returning, and folds the two cardinality guards into one case covering
both entries. Failure mode verified: a marker matching nothing now raises
AssertionError "expected exactly one bogus bullet in the 1.4.0 section,
found 0".

bc5619dd27 docs(#3247): record the capability instruction-surface trust model (#3249)
* docs(#3247): record the capability instruction-surface trust model

ADR-2363 records the trust posture for third-party capability SKILL.md
bodies, which #2322/#2340 made agent-invocable without any content-level
control. The path-level protections that fix shipped are all present; no
content scanner exists, and external-descriptor-trust.cts never had one.
Nothing was bypassed - the control did not exist and the boundary was
never written down.

D1 records the posture: skill bodies are trusted, unscanned agent
instructions. D2 rejects content scanning on Kerckhoffs (a shipped rule
set is readable by the adversary who installs it), on threat-model
non-transfer from ADR-1577 (there, instructions are anomalous inside
data; here they are the payload's legitimate form), and on Goodhart (a
scanned-OK line displaces the judgment the consent prompt exists to
provoke). D3 replaces the executable/non-executable binary with three
classes, adding instruction surface.

D4 keeps instruction surfaces out of the v1 disclosureSignature. The
signature is NOT the activation binding - hasProjectConsent compares
contentHash only, and a global install carries no consent record at all.
What re-encoding would do is perturb the signature of every skill-bearing
capability and fire a spurious re-consent prompt on its next upgrade,
which is what ADR-2782 D4 rule 5 already forbids. If instruction surfaces
ever need to be signature-bound, that lands as a versioned v2 signature
with a migration, never an in-place re-encoding.

Corrects capability-trust-model.md, which claimed skills get lighter
consent because they do not execute code - true, and not the relevant
property, since the agent is the interpreter. Adds the author-side
boundary to develop-a-capability.md and links it from
publish-a-capability.md. Both state that per-skill disclosure at the
consent prompt lands with #3248 and does not happen today.

Docs-only. No behavior change; no consent record perturbed. D5's
mechanism is Phase 1 (#3248), which is why the ADR is Proposed.

a5b5860b93 fix(#3238): bump js-yaml to the patched 4.3.1 (high-severity devDep advisory) (#3246)
* chore(#3238): bump js-yaml 4.3.0 -> 4.3.1 (GHSA-5p4m-2wfm-xmqj)

Dependabot alert 14. js-yaml 4.3.0 sits inside the vulnerable range
>=4.0.0 <4.3.1 of GHSA-5p4m-2wfm-xmqj -- high, CVSS 7.5
(AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H), CWE-407 Inefficient Algorithmic
Complexity.

resolveYamlOmap() enforces `!!omap` key uniqueness with a linear
objectKeys.indexOf() scan inside the per-element loop, so resolution is O(n^2)
in entry count. `!!omap` is registered in the DEFAULT schema, so a plain
yaml.load(untrustedInput) with no options is affected. The loop is synchronous,
so it blocks the event loop -- amplification is per-process, not per-request.
Same weakness as CVE-2026-59870, fixed in 5.x at 5.2.1 and only now backported
to the 3.x/4.x lines.

Reproduced locally against the installed 4.3.0, advisory PoC, default schema:

  n= 5000 load=  22ms  -
  n=10000 load=  57ms  2.59x
  n=20000 load= 199x   3.49x
  n=40000 load= 768ms  3.86x     <- ~4x per doubling = quadratic

After the bump, same machine, same PoC:

  n= 5000 load=  33ms  -
  n=10000 load=  33ms  1.00x
  n=20000 load=  49ms  1.48x
  n=40000 load=  96ms  1.96x     <- ~2x per doubling = linear

Duplicate-key rejection is preserved (YAMLException still raised), so the
upstream indexOf -> Set swap kept the semantics it was guarding.

Scope is development-only and stays that way: js-yaml is a devDependency and is
absent from package.json's `files` allowlist, so it never ships to consumers.
`npm audit --omit=dev` reported 0 vulnerabilities before this change and still
does; `npm audit` went 1 high -> 0.

Targeted install rather than `npm audit fix`, so the blast radius is auditable:
npm reports "changed 1 package", and the lockfile diff is 4 insertions /
4 deletions touching only js-yaml. The declared floor moves ^4.2.1 -> ^4.3.1 so
a future resolution cannot land back on a vulnerable 4.3.x -- the operative fix
is the lockfile, since npm ci is lockfile-driven.

Stayed on the v4-legacy line (4.3.1) rather than jumping to `latest` 5.2.3: 5.x
is a rewritten module layout and a separate change with its own blast radius.
The v4-legacy dist-tag exists precisely so 4.x consumers can take this patch.

Regression guard mirrors tests/issue-2765-brace-expansion-lockfile.test.cjs --
the repo's existing precedent for a dev-scope lockfile bump against a
high-severity DoS advisory. It walks `npm ls --json --all` so a transitive copy
left behind still fails, and carries a vacuity guard so an empty version list
cannot pass silently. No timing assertion: wall-clock assertions are barred by
the clock-seam rule and would be load-sensitive on shared benches, so the
measurements live in the diagnosis artifact instead.

Refs #3238

* fix(#3238): require 5.2.1 on the 5.x line; add the release-notes fragment

Three review findings, all fixed inline.

SPEC AXIS (the serious one): the guard's `(maj > 4)` clause accepted ANY 5.x.
GHSA-5p4m-2wfm-xmqj names only the 3.x and 4.x ranges, so the isolated
adversarial pass -- checking strictly against that advisory -- rated 5.0.0 as
correctly accepted. But the advisory's own body records that the SAME weakness
in the 5.x line is CVE-2026-59870 / GHSA-724g-mxrg-4qvm, fixed in 5.2.1. A
guard whose purpose is "this tree has no quadratic !!omap resolver" must
require 5.2.1 there too, or an accidental major bump to 5.0.0 silently
reintroduces the exact bug the test exists to prevent. The two reviewers
disagreed and the disagreement was load-bearing: taking only the adversarial
verdict would have shipped the hole.

ISOLATED ADVERSARIAL (item 4): Number('4.3.1-beta.1') produced NaN, and NaN
comparisons made the predicate return false. That failed safe, but by accident
rather than design, and majors outside {3,4} were reported vulnerable despite
being outside every advertised range. The predicate is now explicit -- build
metadata stripped, prerelease fails CLOSED (4.3.1-beta.1 sorts below 4.3.1 and
may predate the fix), unparseable fails closed, maj<3 accepted as predating the
affected lines.

Validated by a standalone harness over 27 version strings (12 accepted, 14
rejected, 1 build-metadata): all 27 agree with the advisory ranges. Boundary
rows on all three affected lines -- 3.15.0/3.15.1, 4.3.0/4.3.1, 5.2.0/5.2.1.

STANDARDS AXIS: the precedent this change mirrors, 54cb4145b (#2765, identical
dev-scope lockfile security bump), shipped `fix(#2765)` plus a
`.changeset/*.md` typed Fixed. This change was typed `chore` with no fragment.
Per CONTRIBUTING.md, `chore` is omitted from user-facing release notes
entirely, so a security fix would have merged invisibly. Adds the fragment
(type Fixed, pr:0 to be backfilled) and types this commit `fix`. Note the
changeset gate does not require a fragment for a package.json/tests diff
(`ok_no_user_facing_changes`) -- it is added because users should be told they
received a security patch, not to satisfy a gate.

Not fixed, recorded as not-a-defect: the near-duplication of
tests/issue-2765-brace-expansion-lockfile.test.cjs. The reviewer that raised it
also argued the repo's one-self-contained-guard-per-advisory convention is the
better call -- each advisory guard stays independently auditable and removable,
and a shared helper would couple unrelated advisories. Extracting it would also
be drive-by refactoring of a file this change only appends beside.

70e50eb1b2 chore(#3235): hoist the preamble-strip conditional out of the replace operand (#3236)
* chore(#3235): hoist the preamble-strip conditional out of the replace operand

CodeQL js/identity-replacement (alert 53, medium, CWE-116) fired on
src/roadmap-parser.cts:637. The #2947 fix (2bc53baa0) made the preamble
phase-detail strip conditional by swapping the REGEX OPERAND rather than the
operation, using `/$/` as a "match nothing" sentinel:

  .replace(currentSectionHasPhaseDetails ? /^#{2,4}\s*Phase\s+.../gim : /$/, '')

`str.replace(/$/, '')` substitutes the zero-width end-of-input match with the
empty string, so the branch is inert. Behavior was correct; the hazard is that
both branches shared ONE replacement argument, so a later change of `''` to a
non-empty string would silently give the no-op branch a real effect -- on a seam
whose blast radius is CRITICAL (200+ affected symbols, 45 files, 22 processes).

Hoist the conditional around the .replace() call instead. The do-not-strip
branch now performs no replacement at all. The `Phase Details` heading strip
stays UNCONDITIONAL in both branches, which is what #730 depends on.

Equivalence is not asserted, it is measured: a deterministic-seed differential
probe compared the old and new formulations over 320 generated inputs x both
branch values -- 640 comparisons, 0 mismatches. Corpus covered empty string,
CRLF, heading depths 1-5, the #1729 pre-colon tag form, decimal phase IDs,
`## Phase Details`, fenced blocks and horizontal rules.

Six characterization tests pin both branches, including the one case no existing
#2947 fixture covers: that the unconditional `Phase Details` strip still runs on
the do-not-strip branch. Boundary rows cover the strip regex's #{2,4} bounds at
limit-1 (h1), limit (h2/h4) and limit+1 (h5).

* test(#3235): add parser property test; kill two weak regression tests

Review findings from the orthogonal passes, all fixed inline.

Standards axis (hard violation, CLAUDE.md -> TEST RULES & CONVENTIONS):
"Parsers, budget limits, and bijective contracts must include at least one
fast-check (fc) property test." roadmap-parser is a parser module and the six
new tests were all example-based. Adds one property test over generated
preambles, asserting four invariants across BOTH branches:
  1. no `Phase Details` heading ever survives (the unconditional strip)
  2. headings outside the strip regex's #{2,4} bound always survive
  3. hasOwnDetails=true  -> preamble phase headings are gone
  4. hasOwnDetails=false -> preamble phase headings are all retained
Generator is document-shaped -- a fixed alphabet of literal line shapes, NOT
derived from the parser's own regexes (CONTRIBUTING.md #2371 fixture
provenance: a writer-seeded generator can only confirm what the author already
believed). Seed pinned to 20260809, numRuns bounded at 300, verbose replay on
failure, per the determinism rule.

Isolated adversarial review ran mutation testing against the compiled lib and
found two weak tests:

- CRLF test killed no mutant the LF-only sibling did not already kill. Its
  fixture now carries a `## Phase Details` heading, which exercises the
  `[^\n]*` / `\n?` tail of the Phase Details regex under CRLF -- a region no
  LF-only fixture can reach -- and asserts no orphaned CR is left behind.
- "no preamble does not throw" caught none of five targeted mutants.
  `.replace()` cannot throw on any string, so no mutation confined to this
  change could fail it. Deleted rather than propped up: the empty-preamble case
  is now genuinely covered by the property test's minLength:0 generator, which
  produces empty preambles on both branches. Strictly subsumed.

2a73f53cb3 fix(#3204): milestone sectioning is vocabulary, not heading position (#3230)
* test(#3204): failing-first suite for the clobbered phase count

A project declaring six phases with four phase directories on disk had
state.record-session write progress.total_phases: 4 — #2828 regressing at
1.9.1, reported in #3204 with a deterministic reproduction.

Before the fix in the following commit, these rows FAILED (wrote 4, expected
6): a flat roadmap carrying `## Progress`; one carrying `## Overview` and
`## Phase Details`; the CRLF variant of the first. Two more, found by
adversarial review and added after the first fix attempt, failed against that
attempt: structural headings interleaved among flat phase headings, and this
repo's own bundled-template shape (a `## Phases` wrapper around a single
nested milestone).

The #1761 control — sibling milestone sections must keep falling back to the
disk count — passes both before and after, so the fix has something it must
not break.

Assertions read progress.total_phases through the product's own frontmatter
parser via `state json --raw`, never a regex over STATE.md. Rows 12 and 13
are hostile: a phase heading carrying a version token, and a version heading
inside a fenced code block; neither may count as milestone sectioning.

* fix(#3204): milestone sectioning is vocabulary, not heading position

buildStateFrontmatter chooses total_phases between the ROADMAP's declared
phase count and the on-disk directory count, and refuses the roadmap count
when hasMilestoneSectioning says the document is milestone-sectioned — because
a whole-document count would then conflate sibling milestones (#1761).

That predicate returned true for ANY non-Phase level-2/3 heading, so a flat
roadmap carrying an ordinary `## Progress` was called sectioned and the disk
count clobbered the declared one: six declared phases, four directories,
total_phases written as 4, converging on the truth only once the last
directory happened to exist. That is #2828 regressing at 1.9.1, and it came
from this epic — #3184 replaced state.cts's hand-rolled #2828 guard with this
predicate, and the replacement is strictly more permissive than the guard it
retired.

Three position-based models were tried and all failed, because position does
not carry milestone-ness:

  - any non-Phase heading (shipped) — over-detects, giving #3204;
  - strict nesting/ownership — misses same-level siblings, regressing #1761,
    and false-positives on the bundled template, where `## Phases` wraps a
    single `### v1.1`;
  - adjacency — reproduced live: `## Overview` and `## Notes` interleaved
    among six phase headings are two owning candidates, so a 6-phase roadmap
    with 2 directories wrote 2.

A heading is now a milestone heading iff it is a non-Phase heading carrying a
milestone signal: a version token, a status marker, or the word Milestone.
Sectioning means two or more, since one cannot conflate siblings.

Known limit, recorded in the doc comment rather than hidden: two milestone
sections carrying none of those three signals are not detected.

Also drops buildStateFrontmatter's local dedup-key regex, flagged in-source as
diverging from the canonical token rule, for phaseKeyFromDir — the remainder
of #3185, since #3222 had already routed the enumeration itself through
listMilestonePhaseDirs.

#1514, #2445 and #3017 are preserved untouched.

Closes #3185

* docs(#3185): changeset, glossary entry and ADR status for the phase-count fix

CONTEXT.md's Roadmap Parser Module entry never named hasMilestoneSectioning,
so the predicate whose semantics this change reverses had no glossary presence
at all — a PR gate for a module/seam change. Added, covering the vocabulary
model, the three position-based models that failed, and the residual limit.

ADR-3180 recorded the fifth enumeration copy as unowned in four places. It is
owned now. Amendment 4's scope table row 1 also carried an error worth keeping
visible rather than rewriting: it claimed Phase 3 merged without routing the
state writers, when #3222 had in fact routed the enumeration — the audit read
Amendment 3's silence about the symbol names as absence of the work. The real
gap was the trust discriminator one layer above, which is what #3204 was.

Changeset is Fixed and leads with the symptom a user sees — a phase count that
shrinks to match how many phase directories happen to exist yet — and carries
the known limit forward rather than leaving it in a source comment.

* fix(#3185): stop quoting the retired phase-token regex in a comment

The remote runner failed tests/phase-id-drift-guard.test.cjs: the comment
explaining that the local dedup regex had been replaced by phaseKeyFromDir
quoted that regex verbatim, and scripts/lint-phase-id-drift.cjs scans for the
literal token without caring whether it sits in code or in prose.

That is the guard being right, not over-eager — a quoted pattern is one paste
away from being live again, which is exactly how the copy it replaced spread.
Described in prose instead.

Worth recording: this guard is check:phase-id-drift, which lint:ci does not
run — it is enforced by tests/phase-id-drift-guard.test.cjs. A green lint:ci
is therefore not evidence the drift guards pass.

86bebcefa2 refactor(#3216): bind milestone identity to the canonical locator (#3226)
* refactor(#3216): widen milestone-window guard to literal-## matchers

The guard keyed only on the `#{N,M}` quantifier plus a literal version or
phase-lookahead token. getMilestoneInfo hand-rolls its milestone-heading match
with a literal `^##`/`## ` and an interpolated ${escapedVer}, so it satisfied
neither token and the guard reported a clean zero on a file carrying live
re-derivations (#3171, #3197) — a zero it did not earn.

Widen token (a) to a literal 2-6 `#` run, admitted ONLY inside a heading-MATCHER
literal (a regex literal, or a string/template handed to new RegExp) so a
heading-BUILDING template is not mistaken for a re-derivation. Widen token (b)
with the grouped `v(\d+(?:\.\d+)+)` shape and an interpolated version
placeholder.

Ships BEFORE the consolidation per ADR-3180 s7.2: a guard widened afterwards
measures an already-cleaned surface. It is expected to be RED until the
consolidation lands.

* test(#3216): failing-first milestone-identity single-owner suite

63 tests across two files, from the matrix in .gsd/phase/. Section H of
milestone-window-single-owner.test.cjs covers the 21 input classes of the
design's behavior table plus its negative space; milestone-window-drift-guard
covers the widened tokens and proves the exemption is function-scoped, not
file-scoped.

Copy count is 3 found by the guard, not 1 per the epic (ADR-3180 Amendment 3's
standing rule, holding for the fourth consecutive phase): both getMilestoneInfo
sites plus cmdRoadmapAnalyze's milestone enumeration at roadmap.cts:454, which
carries the same #3171 truncation and #3197 phase-heading confusion.

Expected RED until the consolidation lands.

* refactor(#3216): bind milestone identity to the canonical locator

getMilestoneInfo hand-rolled two milestone-heading regexes inside the owner's
own file. Both were wrong, differently: the STATE-version site's ^## anchor is
level-blind so [^\n]* absorbs a third #, and the fallback site had no anchor at
all, so '## ' matched from the second # of '###'. Against
'### Phase 7: Close v3.3 gaps' the fallback returned {v3.3, gaps} (#3197). Both
captured names with [^\n(], truncating at a parenthetical (#3171).

Bind both to the canonical grammar. locateMilestoneHeadings becomes a
version-filtered view over one shared source, and a new version-agnostic
listMilestoneHeadings enumerates milestone headings for callers that need all
of them. getMilestoneInfo returns ScopedResult<MilestoneInfo|null>; the
{v1.0,'milestone'} default, which was output-identical to a real v1.0 project,
is deleted. The #2245 never-throws invariant is preserved.

Copy count: 3 found by the guard, not 1 per the epic. The third was
cmdRoadmapAnalyze's own milestone enumeration (roadmap.cts:454), carrying both
defects in the implementation the epic blessed.

buildStateFrontmatter and archivePhaseDirectories branch on scope: the first
writes null rather than a fabricated identity, the second falls through to its
dated-label fallback. A fabricated v3.3 passes ARCHIVE_VERSION_LABEL_RE, so it
would otherwise misfile phase history.

Also fixes an unsafe cast in init.cts that masked these type errors across five
call sites, which would have shipped undefined milestone fields under green tsc.

* fix(#3216): restore the #1761 unbounded guard and bullet precedence

Review and the first full-matrix run surfaced five real defects in the
consolidation, all fixed here rather than by relaxing the tests that caught
them:

- buildStateFrontmatter gated its isMilestoneBoundedInRoadmap check on the
  scope-gated milestone value, which is null on any non-COMPLETE scope, so the
  #1761 unbounded guard was silently skipped and state json reported a percent
  it must omit. It now gates on the STATE-asserted version, independent of
  identity scope.
- The rewrite lost #2135's precedence: the name-bearing progress-marker bullet
  is consulted before the heading again.
- A single-segment version (v3, no dot) did not resolve; the name-extraction
  fallback now accepts it.
- A version carrying regex metacharacters, or a $& / $1 replacement pattern,
  is matched literally.
- listMilestoneHeadings' heading field trimmed, so a CRLF roadmap no longer
  leaks a trailing carriage return into roadmap analyze's output.

Also emits milestone_version / milestone_name / current_milestone as explicit
null rather than omitting the key, so the prompt layer cannot render a bare
placeholder, and corrects an init.cts comment plus a cast left inconsistent.

* test(#3216): update milestone-identity expectations to the scoped contract

getMilestoneInfo returns ScopedResult<MilestoneInfo|null> and the
{v1.0,'milestone'} default is deleted, so the suites asserting the old shape
assert removed behavior. Updated rather than weakened: every touched call site
now asserts the scope explicitly against the frozen SCOPE enum.

roadmap-parser.test.cjs: 20 expectations moved to {value,scope}. The #1881
unreadable-vs-absent diagnostic assertions are untouched and still prove their
original point — only the return shape moved. One pre-existing assert.ok(info)
is now a specific UNSCOPED assertion, so that case is stronger than before.

new-milestone-clear-phases.test.cjs: the test asserting phases clear archives
under the v1.0 default now asserts the dated archived-<YYYYMMDD> fallback,
which is the deliberate consequence of deleting that default.

Two of this branch's own tests were also corrected after they drove the
implementation the wrong way: the parity test compared raw heading text and so
pushed a stray ## prefix into roadmap analyze's public output, and the hostile
metacharacter row demanded a pathological version resolve, which pushed a
widening of the ADR-locked \b boundary. Both now assert what the contract
actually requires.

* docs(#3216): document milestone identity and correct the CONTEXT.md entry

ADR-3180 s7.2 moves to Enforced and gains two rules that were unstated: the
name derives from the heading's own version token and drops a trailing status
marker, and a free-form legacy ROADMAP with no version anywhere is UNSCOPED
with no identity rather than a defaulted v1.0 (decided by the maintainer before
implementation, per s7's own rule that an unstated behavior is not decided).
Amendment 4 records Phase 6's validation, including that the copy count was a
lower bound for the fourth consecutive phase.

CONTEXT.md's Roadmap Parser entry described locateMilestoneHeadings as
boundary-matched with (?![\w.-]) — the alternative Amendment 2 tried and
REVERTED. The code uses \b and says so, and the ADR agrees; the revert updated
code and ADR and missed CONTEXT.md, which is the epic's own fixed-on-one-copy
failure class in the docs layer, on a file that is itself a PR gate.

* fix(#3216): persist the real version on a truncated identity

buildStateFrontmatter wrote null for BOTH milestone and milestone_name on any
non-COMPLETE scope, discarding a real version. ADR-3180 s7.2 rule 6: a version
known with no resolvable name is TRUNCATED carrying {version, name: null} —
'the version is a real answer, the name is a non-answer, and collapsing the two
is the failure this contract exists to prevent.'

The two fields are now gated by what is actually known: the version whenever one
exists (COMPLETE or TRUNCATED), the name only on COMPLETE. Never fabricated.

Caught by this phase's own Decision 4(c) consumer-output test, which is the
argument for asserting at the consumer rather than the owner — the owner was
correct throughout; only the consumer collapsed its answer.

* refactor(#3216): extract helpers and make cmdCommit's scope gate explicit

From the two-axis code review:

- init.cts repeated the identical getMilestoneInfo cast at five sites with
  copy-pasted comments — duplication inside a PR whose thesis is that duplicates
  get deleted. Extracted milestoneRecord(cwd); the one site-specific comment is
  kept, the four generic copies removed.
- getMilestoneInfo hand-built its { value, scope } literal at ten return points;
  a local scoped() constructor now does it once. Every per-branch rationale
  comment is preserved and no returned value or scope changed.
- cmdCommit gated the milestone branch name on plain truthiness, which is also
  true for TRUNCATED, so an unresolved identity drove branch creation
  incidentally rather than deliberately. It now gates on the SCOPE enum,
  accepting COMPLETE or TRUNCATED because both carry a real version, and the
  comment records why that differs from archivePhaseDirectories — which demands
  COMPLETE because it uses the value as a filesystem path component.

* test(#3216): cover the bare-version-in-prose truncated path

The spec review found the bareVersionMatch path — no STATE version, no
milestone heading, a version token only in prose — returning TRUNCATED with no
test exercising that exact shape, violating Decision 4's boundary-coverage
requirement.

* docs(#3216): record the missed Tier-2 surfaces and rule 5's corollary

Decision 3 requires an explicit call-out for EVERY Tier-2 change, and Amendment
4's first draft named eight surfaces while the change touched thirteen. Adds
cmdCommit's branch-name construction and the four init JSON bundles, an
incomplete list being the same defect in miniature that this epic removes.

s7.2 rule 5 gains a corollary separating two cases the original wording ran
together: no version token ANYWHERE is UNSCOPED, while a bare version token in
prose or a non-milestone heading is weak but real evidence and yields TRUNCATED
under rule 6.

b9f51836e6 refactor(#3180): ADR-3180 behavior contract + cross-surface drift guardrails (#3223)
* refactor(#3180): one owner for completion ratio, a prompt-layer drift guard, and a written behavior contract

The 2026-08-08 coverage audit on #3180 found the epic's copy counts were a
lower bound for the third consecutive time, and that two derivation families
had never been named at all.

ADR-3180 gains Decision 7 — a normative behavior contract that says what the
right answer IS for each derivation, not merely who owns it. A reviewer with
no written rule can only ask "does this look like the others", which is how a
fifth copy passes review. Decision 4 gains (d) scan surface is every authored
surface and an owner FILE is never exempt, only its named functions; and (e)
a surface that cannot be consolidated today ships ratcheted, never unguarded.

Completion ratio: `clampPercent` sat exported and unused beside six hand-inlined
copies of its own body across five modules. All six now route through it;
`clampPercentFromFraction` is added for the one caller that already held a
fraction. Every migration is behaviour-identical — clampPercent's first line IS
the `total > 0 ? … : 0` ternary each copy carried. Guarded by
lint-completion-ratio-drift.cjs, which reports zero re-derivations with no
file-level exemption.

Prompt layer: workflow markdown re-derives live-plan counting in raw shell
(#1762), invisible to every `src/`-scoped guard. lint-planning-prompt-drift.cjs
scans it with a shrink-only baseline of the 7 sites that exist today — new
sites fail, and a baseline entry that stops firing fails too, so an
acknowledgment can never outlive the thing it describes.

lint-milestone-window-drift.cjs stops exempting its owner file wholesale; only
the four named canonical functions are exempt now. The blanket exemption was
pointed at the one file most likely to grow the next copy, and it had.

* fix(#3180): address orthogonal review — consumer-output identity tests, count-keyed ratchet, property coverage

Five findings from the two orthogonal review passes, all fixed.

Decision 4(c) breach: the completion-ratio identity test asserted at the
OWNER, which is exactly the bypass that decision exists to close — a consumer
can call clampPercent and then post-process locally, leaving both the lint and
an owner-level test green. It now drives `roadmap analyze`, `query progress`
and `stats` and asserts on their own output, over a fixture containing a
`status: superseded` plan so a consumer that re-counted raw files would report
60 where the owner reports 75.

Decision 4(e) breach: ratchet entries named the epic (#3180) rather than the
issue that removes them. They name Phase 8 (#3218) now.

The ratchet keyed on (file, text) alone, so plan-phase.md's two byte-identical
sites were one indistinguishable key and migrating either would have left the
guard green with the other alive. Entries carry an occurrence count; fewer than
acknowledged fails as a partial migration, more fails as a new copy.

Adds the missing MAX_REGEX_LITERAL_LEN boundary coverage the sibling guard's
test already had, and the fast-check property tests CONTRIBUTING requires for
clamp/budget-limit functions.

* test: stop wrapping a nested double-spawn in a 15s wall-clock budget (bug #641 probes)

`tests/ci-test-scope.test.cjs`'s `bug #641` block spawned `run-tests.cjs`
under PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS=15000; that child then spawned a nested `node --test`.
A fixed wall-clock budget around a double spawn, running inside a container
that is concurrently executing the full ~31k-test suite, fails by construction
under load.

Confirmed against three full matrix runs. Every failure was shaped
`null !== 0` — the child was KILLED, never an assertion about the thing under
test. One captured probe had already printed the correct resolution
(`suite="all" files=2: a.test.cjs b.test.cjs`) and was killed anyway. It
reproduces on `next` alone: 5 failures on linux-node22, 0 on linux-node24. The
victim subset varies by run and by lane.

What these tests are actually about is suite-token RESOLUTION — `unit` as a
bare token in --files/--files-from. Executing the seeded trivial files is
incidental and is the entire timeout surface, so the assertions move
in-process against the same functions `main()` calls, in the same order.
`parseArgs`, `selectExplicitFiles`, `selectFiles` and `walkTestFiles` are
exported for that; no behavior, signature or logic changed.

No coverage lost: `tests/run-tests-harness.test.cjs` already spawns the
harness for real and asserts exit codes end to end, on a 120s budget.

Pre-existing on `next`, fixed here rather than deferred.

* test: delete the three elapsed-time assertions

CLAUDE.md forbids asserting on wall-clock time. Three assertions did, and all
three are load-sensitive: on a saturated bench each can fail while the code
under test is correct. In every case the load-bearing assertion sits on the
line above and the timing line adds no discrimination.

run-with-timeout: the stated worry — "was this 124 the cap firing or the 30s
harness backstop?" — is already answered by the assertion above it. A backstop
kills by signal, which surfaces as status null, never 124. Observed directly
this session: three matrix runs produced exactly that null shape from killed
children.

normalize-test-command and context-predicates: both bounded a ReDoS check.
A threshold only ever separates "fast" from "slightly slow", which is bench
load, not correctness — catastrophic backtracking on 800 KB of input does not
take 251ms, it does not finish at all. A real regression therefore shows up as
the suite being killed on that test, which is louder and more reliable than a
number. The structural assertions (returned unchanged; cleanly rejected) are
what actually carry those tests, and they stay.

The sweep now reports zero elapsed-time assertions in tests/. The remaining
Date.now() uses are unique-path suffixes, barrier deadlines, fixture
timestamps and fake mtimes — none of them assertions.

Pre-existing on `next`, fixed here rather than deferred.

* fix(#3180): key the prompt-drift ratchet on POSIX paths so it works on Windows

The baseline keys on (file, trimmed text). `file` came from scanTree's
`path.relative()`, which uses NATIVE separators, while the committed baseline
stores POSIX. On Windows every violation was therefore unmatched — reported as
FRESH — and every baseline entry matched nothing — reported as STALE. The guard
failed 100% of the time there, on both CI shards:

  ✖ scanRepo(repoRoot) matches the baseline exactly: zero fresh AND zero stale
    + { file: 'gsd-core\\workflows\\execute-plan.md', ... }

The remote runner this repo gates on is Linux-only and cannot see this class at
all; the GitHub Actions Windows lane is what caught it.

Normalization is unconditional — never gated on process.platform. A
platform-conditional normalizer makes the POSIX path the special case and
leaves the Windows branch unexercised on every other OS, which is the same
blind spot in a different place. It is applied at one seam inside
findPromptDrift, which builds `file` on every returned violation, so the
baseline key, the --update writer, the stderr report and the tests all consume
one normalized value.

The regression tests drive a Windows-shaped relPath directly and run on every
OS rather than skipping off-Windows — a test that only runs on the platform
where the bug lives is why this escaped. They include a sanity check that
un-normalized input does NOT match, so the assertion cannot pass vacuously.

Audited the three sibling guards: none keys against a committed cross-platform
baseline, and their exemption keys are path.join-built, so producer and
consumer share the native convention. Left correct code alone rather than
making them look alike. scripts/lib/drift-scan.cjs is untouched — normalizing
there would break those three on Windows.

636ec92107 refactor(#3185): phase enumeration has one owner and a decidable scope (#3222)
* test(#3185): failing-first phase-enumeration single-owner suite

Covers the enumeration rows with direct code evidence: 999.* backlog dirs
listed by progress/stats, the phase-0 sentinel divergence, the #1324
letter-prefixed-decimal negative space, and the destructive-path find —
cmdPhasesClear carries a fifth sentinel copy (/^999(?:\.|$)/) that excludes
999 but not 0, so a 0-* directory roadmap.analyze preserves is deleted there.

Also covers the pass-all degrade, which is where the defect actually lives:
when the milestone window declares no phases the filter becomes a literal
() => true and its heading-side sentinel exclusion is unreachable. A fixture
carrying phase headings keeps the filter active and never reaches that path.

Named for the derivation, not a module: the suite drives commands, phase,
milestone, workstream-inventory and state, and both the phase and
phase-locator buckets are already at the per-module test-file cap.

Committed alone so the remote runner records the failure before the fix.

* refactor(#3185): phase enumeration has one owner and a decidable scope

Adds phase-locator.cts::listMilestonePhaseDirs as the single canonical owner
of "which phase directories belong to the current milestone". It applies the
milestone window AND the sentinel filter and returns a ScopedResult, so a
caller can tell a genuinely-empty milestone from an enumeration that could
not be scoped.

The sentinel test now runs against DIRECTORY NAMES and is unconditional.
getMilestonePhaseFilter excludes sentinels from its ROADMAP heading set, but
degrades to a literal () => true pass-all predicate when that set is empty --
at which point the heading set is never consulted and its sentinel exclusion
is unreachable exactly when it is needed. That degrade is the #3167 path, and
it is why stats already used the filter and still listed backlog directories.
The narrowing is sentinel-only: pass-all stays over-inclusive otherwise.

Sentinel copies deleted, canonical isSentinelPhaseId adopted:
  - cmdRoadmapAnalyze's local closure (parseInt === 0 || === 999), 2 call sites
  - cmdPhasesClear's /^999(?:\.|$)/ -- the DESTRUCTIVE path, which excluded
    999 but not 0, so a 0-* directory roadmap.analyze preserves was deleted

cmdStats also seeded rows from ROADMAP headings with no sentinel filter, so a
999 heading produced a row with no directory; that seed is filtered now.

cmdPhasesList routes only its ENUMERATION. --phase lookup searches the
physical set (scoping it would report an out-of-window phase as not found) and
--include-archived still merges archived dirs (they are by definition from
other milestones). Both exempt by documented reason, never a file allowlist.

Fixed inline, found while building: isDirInMilestone could not match a #1324
letter-prefixed-decimal directory (P0.0-foundation) to its own Phase P0.0
heading, so stats reported the phase with plans: 0 while its directory held
plan files. Defers to phase-id's extractPhaseToken rather than widening a
fourth bespoke regex; additive, so it can only admit directories.

the whole ROADMAP -- no window, no sentinel filter -- so it counted 999.*
backlog and Phase 0 and spanned every milestone the document ever had. Its own
caller already resolved a currentVersion and passed it to getMilestonePhaseFilter
elsewhere in the same file; this was the sibling copy that never got the fix.

state.cts phaseInventoryProvider enumerated phase dirs with its own
/^(\d+)-(.+)$/ convention regex and neither filter, so a rebuilt STATE.md
inventory carried backlog and sentinel directories as current-milestone phases.
A non-COMPLETE enumeration scope now throws to the outer catch as a real scan
failure rather than reporting a confident undercount, mirroring the per-phase
scanPhasePlans contract beside it.

* refactor(#3185): consolidate 23 sentinel re-derivations onto one predicate

The whole-repo drift guard (ADR-3180 Decision 4a, no file allowlist) found the
sentinel rule re-implemented 23 times across 8 modules, in three regex variants
plus four integer-comparison forms. Most tested 999 only, so Phase 0 slipped
through them while roadmap.analyze and the engine-wide convention (#1580) both
treat 0 and 999 alike. That disagreement is the defect class this epic removes.

All 23 now call phase-id's isSentinelPhaseId (SENTINEL_RANGES [0,999]). Sites:
init recommended-actions and backlog counts, milestone phase scan, the
phase-lifecycle progress table, phase.cts used-number collection and the four
renumber-on-remove guards, roadmap-parser's heading and bullet milestone
counts, roadmap get-phase fallbacks, and state's heading denominator.

Excluding Phase 0 at these sites is a deliberate behavior change and the point
of the consolidation — several carried comments already saying 0 should be
excluded while the literal beside them caught only 999.

Adds scripts/lint-phase-enumeration-drift.cjs, wired into lint:ci. It scans the
whole src/ tree with no file allowlist and reports both shapes: an independent
phases-dir enumeration, and an independent sentinel literal. Exemptions are
function-scoped with a written reason. The guard is comment-aware — its first
pass flagged JSDoc and a comment documenting that the code below uses the
canonical owner, which would have trained readers to exempt prose.

* refactor(#3185): resolve every phases-dir enumeration; drift guard reports zero

Per-site triage of the 31 remaining whole-repo guard hits, applying the rule
generalized from #3183's Amendment 1: a LOOKUP, DIAGNOSTIC, ARCHIVAL or
MUTATION pass wants the physical set; only "which phases belong to this
milestone" wants the scoped set.

Routed (10): init new-milestone phase_dir_count, init milestone-op fallback
count, init manager, init progress, milestone complete stats/dry-run/archive
move, phase complete's next-phase scan, state update-progress, state
frontmatter stats, and uat audit's active set.

Exempt with a written function-scoped reason (never a file allowlist): the
audit/UAT/verification sweeps that deliberately scan every directory to report
gaps, phase create/insert/rename/renumber mutations, single-phase lookups,
roadmap-upgrade's cross-milestone migration, cmdPhasesClear's whole-tree
destructive pass, and the reads that list a phase dir's FILES rather than
enumerating the phases dir at all.

Latent defects fixed by the routing: sentinel directories leaked into
cmdInitNewMilestone's phase_dir_count, cmdMilestoneComplete's stats, dry-run
AND ARCHIVE MOVE, cmdStateUpdateProgress, buildStateFrontmatter and
cmdAuditUat's active set — every one of those hand-rolled an isDirInMilestone
filter with no sentinel exclusion, so `milestone complete` was archiving
backlog directories.

scripts/lint-phase-enumeration-drift.cjs now reports 0 re-derivations and
npm run lint:ci is green.

* docs(#3185): document milestone-scoped enumeration and record ADR Amendment 3

Changeset fragment (Changed), CLI-TOOLS/COMMANDS/USER-GUIDE updates for the
scoped output of progress, stats, phases list, phases clear and milestone
complete, the CONTEXT.md Phase Locator glossary entry naming
listMilestonePhaseDirs, and ADR-3180 Amendment 3.

Amendment 3 records: the SCOPE contract held unchanged; the declared deviation
from Decision 1's provisional signature (the window needs cwd/ws, which the
locked roadmapContent parameter cannot supply); the copy count being a lower
bound for the third consecutive phase (4 scoped vs 54 found); the load-bearing
finding that the sentinel exclusion sat on the heading set and was unreachable
under the pass-all degrade; the two destructive-path defects; and the
generalized exemption rule.

* fix(#3185): wire scope to consumers; revert two wrong routings the suite caught

Review + remote runner findings, all fixed:

The three consumers computed the enumeration scope and threw it away, so
TRUNCATED/UNSCOPED/UNREADABLE collapsed into the same output as COMPLETE --
reproducing this epic's own output-identical-failure defect one layer up.
progress, stats and phases list now emit phase_scope (null on the phases list
--phase lookup path, which performs no enumeration).

Two routings were wrong and the suite proved it:

roadmap-parser's two milestone phase-count scans are reverted to the 999-only
literal. isSentinelPhaseId is BROADER than what it replaced: its legacy branch
runs /^0*(\d+)/ over "00.1", which backtracks to capture 0, so it read #2554's
decimal phase ids as sentinel milestone 0 and stopped counting them.

state.cts phaseInventoryProvider is reverted to the physical disk scan.
`state rebuild` is a RECONCILIATION pass -- scoping it made it throw on healthy
trees whose fixture resolves no window, swallowed the raw readdirSync fault
message #3057 B1 requires verbatim, and stopped it dropping orphan STATE.md
rows, which is the job.

Both are now function-scoped guard exemptions with written reasons, not
silent reverts. This is the consolidation trap named in the epic: a canonical
rule can cover MORE than the copy it replaces, and only real inputs show it.

Adds phases list coverage, a scope-branch test, and a drift-guard unit suite;
backports comment-awareness to the milestone-window and plan-count guards so
all three siblings share one false-positive profile; names #3161 alongside
#3167 in Amendment 3's subsumption record.

* fix(#3185): correct isSentinelPhaseId's decimal-zero misclassification

An isolated security review caught this branch committing the epic's own sin:
the over-broad predicate was worked around at ONE call site and left live at
the destructive ones.

isSentinelPhaseId's legacy branch ran /^0*(\d+)/, which backtracks so any id
whose leading digit run is all zeros before a non-digit captures 0 -- "0.1",
"00.1" and "0.2554" all read as sentinel milestone 0. Two pinned contracts
disagree with that: #2554 requires "00.1" to be counted as a real phase, and
the 999 icebox is a whole reserved milestone so "999.1" must stay sentinel.

The rule is asymmetric and now says so explicitly: 999 is sentinel with or
without a decimal part; 0 is sentinel only when bare. A decimal phase under
either is a real phase for 0 and reserved for 999, because 999 reserves a
MILESTONE while 0 reserves a PHASE.

Fixing the owner lets the earlier workaround go: getMilestonePhaseFilter's two
scans route through isSentinelPhaseId again and the guard exemption that
existed only to accommodate the defect is deleted. The state.cts cmdStateRebuild
exemption stays -- that one is a genuine reconciliation-wants-the-physical-set
case.

Also corrects tests/adr-612-bracket-grammar.test.cjs, which asserted
isSentinelPhaseId('0.1') === true and so had encoded the defect as expected
behavior.

* fix(#3185): keep isSentinelPhaseId's semantics — 0.x is layered, not wrong

Reverts the previous commit. The remote suite failed six tests proving it
wrong, and the reason is the sharpest finding of this phase.

An isolated security review observed that isSentinelPhaseId reads 0.1 and 00.1
as sentinel milestone 0 and judged that a defect against #2554. Correcting the
canonical predicate broke #2949. Both contracts are pinned and both are right,
because they ask different questions:

  #2554  is this dir part of the current milestone's phase SET?  -> count 00.1
  #2949  must this phase COMPLETE before the milestone closes?   -> 0.x sentinel

No single global predicate answers both. isSentinelPhaseId keeps its semantics
(0.x IS a sentinel, #2949), and the milestone-window layer keeps a narrower
999-only rule (#2554) as a function-scoped guard exemption with a written
reason — not a second silent copy.

That corrects how Decision 1 reads: "one owner per derivation" governs who
computes an answer, not how many questions share it. An over-broad canonical
rule is as much a defect as a divergent copy and fails worse, because it looks
like consolidation. Recorded in Amendment 3 as the lesson for Phases 4 and 5.

Where a review's inference about intent conflicts with a pinned contract, the
pinned contract wins; the finding is adjudicated, not fixed.

The boundary tables in the enumeration suite are corrected to assert 0.x IS a
sentinel, with the layering explained.

bc3a3f170f docs(#3215): add ADR-3212 lexical seam consolidation (Phase 0) (#3221)
Design-lock ADR for epic #3212 — the lexical layer beneath the #1372
markdown-sectionizer and #2143 table/mutation seams.

Locks seven decisions Phases 1-4 execute against:
- src/pattern.cts as sole owner of dynamic regex construction,
  delegating to the built-in RegExp.escape; the ten private
  escapeRegex/escapeRegExp/escapeRe copies are deleted, not merged
- engines.node floor raised to the Active LTS line (>=24), which is
  what makes RegExp.escape reachable; delegating-shim alternative
  recorded and rejected
- src/text-lines.cts as sole owner of line-terminator handling —
  the primitive the existing no-crlf-fragile-split prohibition lacks;
  brings frontmatter.cts in from the #1372 exclusion
- tokenizer-first for stateful grammars, with a decidable five-condition
  test, generalizing the proven hooks/lib/git-cmd.js token-walk (#3129)
- bounded quantifiers over caller-supplied content
- extend-never-mutate (inherited from ADR-2143 §2)
- prohibition with teeth: no-adhoc-regex-escape, no-unbounded-quantifier,
  no-crlf-fragile-split widened to src/, plus a parity assertion

Explicit non-goal: no wholesale regex-to-parser rewrite. A census found
2,113 regex literals across 317 files; most are correct and stay.

Docs-only. No production code.

63a677aed4 docs(#3198): record project-gitignore-for-third-party-agent-runtime as out-of-scope (#3219)
Records the 2026-08-08 triage denial of #3198 in the .out-of-scope/ knowledge
base so the prior-denial check on a future triage sweep can find it, rather
than the reasoning living only in a closed-issue comment.

The request asked to add .omc/ and .omo/ to "the init-template .gitignore".
gsd-core ships no such template: the __pycache__/*.pyc pair quoted in the
report is gsd-core's own repo .gitignore, and at init the only project
.gitignore write is a single .planning/ line under commit_docs = No. The
.omc and .omo directories have zero occurrences anywhere in the repo.

The entry's "What this does NOT cover" section keeps adjacent asks live --
notably any report that gsd-core itself writes churning runtime state outside
.planning/, which would be a real defect and is not denied here.

Closes #3198

Covers the 50 input classes in the phase test matrix: scope classification
(genuinely-empty vs truncated vs unscoped vs unreadable), the section-end
owner's level boundaries, consumer-output identity per ADR-3180 Decision 4(c),
the milestone.complete refusal with negative proof that no directory moved,
the version-token boundary defect, drift-guard behavior, and three fast-check
properties over document-shaped generators.

Committed alone so the remote runner records the failure before the fix lands.

* refactor(#3184): milestone windowing routes through one owner

Three copies of the milestone section-end walk lived in roadmap-parser.cts —
two distinct computeSectionEnd function nodes plus an inline third in
getMilestonePhaseFilter's versionOverride branch. computeMilestoneSectionEnd is
now the sole owner and the other two are deleted, not kept in sync by comment.

The whole-repo drift guard found what the epic did not: state.cts held three
more re-derivations of the same vocabulary — two byte-identical milestone
bounding checks carrying a defect neither reported copy has (no boundary after
the version token, so v2.0 matched inside v2.0.1), and a milestone-sectioning
predicate. All three route through the owner now.

A composition-level duplicate appeared inside this change's own first pass:
getMilestonePhaseFilter and cmdMilestoneComplete each re-assembled a window out
of the owner's primitives, and had already diverged on whether to skip a closed
milestone heading. sliceMilestoneWindow is the one composition.

Windows now carry the ADR-3180 SCOPE discriminator, so a truncated window is
distinguishable from a genuinely empty milestone — those were output-identical,
which is the whole failure class. roadmap analyze emits it (#3165), and
milestone complete refuses to archive on anything but COMPLETE rather than
pass-all moving every phase directory on disk (#3166). The pass-all degrade is
preserved where its premise holds: making the filter deny-all would trade a
silent over-inclusive answer for a silent under-inclusive one on the read paths
that count with it.

extractCurrentMilestone keeps its signature — 200+ affected symbols across 41
files and 25 process flows — and is a one-line wrapper over the scoped owner.

* fix(#3184): fence-aware phase detection and one heading-selection owner

Review fixes from the two orthogonal passes.

The blocker: hasPhaseEntries matched ATX phase headings fence-aware via
tokenizeHeadings but tested the #2199 bullet form against un-stripped markdown,
so a fenced EXAMPLE of the bullet syntax counted as a real phase. A genuinely
empty milestone then classified TRUNCATED and milestone complete refused a
legitimate archive — a false positive in the destructive direction, worse than
the defect this phase set out to fix. Both that path and getMilestonePhaseFilter
own pre-existing bullet scan now run on stripFencedCode, since leaving one meant
the owner file gave two different answers to the same question.

The selection rule — locate, prefer the non-closed heading, else the first — had
been written three more times inside the file whose thesis is single ownership.
selectMilestoneHeading owns it; all three sites route through it. The copies were
behaviorally identical, so this is de-duplication with no observable change,
verified by probing that all three paths select the same heading.

roadmap analyze emitting a scope no consumer read left #3165's actual symptom
alive, so Route 0 in next.md now treats a non-complete scope as scan-failed
rather than as a clean empty scan, and the ADR amendment no longer overstates
what shipped.

Also: the scope refusal moved above the archive-directory create, so a refusal
leaves nothing on disk; the versionOverride comment names all four consumers;
COMMANDS.md documents the new guard beside its sibling.

* test(#2658): exclude the changelog from the malformed-path scan

The gate walks every emitted .md/.js/.cjs file in an installed tree and asserts
none contains `.claude/.trae/rules` or `.trae/.trae/rules`. CHANGELOG.md ships
into that tree, and its #2658 entry quotes both malformed paths while describing
the fix that removed them — so the release note documenting the fix trips the
fix's own regression test. Red on next before this branch.

The installer is correct: a probe over a real --trae --local install found 621
emitted files, exactly one hit, and it was gsd-core/CHANGELOG.md. The scan scope
was the defect, not the product.

Excluded by exact relative path rather than by loosening the patterns or skipping
all markdown — the emitted agent and command markdown is precisely what #2658 was
about, so the gate stays strong everywhere it matters.

* test(#3184): regenerate install-tree fixtures for the shared drift scanner

scripts/lib/ ships in the npm package and installer, so extracting the shared
tree-walk into scripts/lib/drift-scan.cjs adds one path to every runtime's
install tree. Regenerated via npm run gen:install-tree; the delta is exactly
that one path per fixture.

The two drift guards themselves do not ship (scripts/lint-*.cjs is excluded),
so only the extracted library moves. This matches the existing
scripts/lib/allowlist-ratchet.cjs precedent, which is likewise a lint-only
helper carried in the shipped tree.

* fix(#3184): restore the #730 sub-milestone boundary and narrow the refusal

The remote runner caught two regressions this branch introduced. Both were mine,
and neither review pass found them — only running the existing suite did.

The version-token boundary. I replaced locateMilestoneHeadings' \b with
(?![\w.-]), reasoning that v2.0 matching inside v2.0.1 was the same defect #2562
fixed in isMilestoneShippedInRoadmap. It is not the same question. A milestone
state of v8.0 legitimately selects the '## v8.0-B' sub-milestone section over a
closed v8.0-A sibling (#730), and \b is what allows it while the stricter
boundary forbids it — nine tests in roadmap-phase-fallback said so. Reverted to
\b; the state.cts consolidation is now a straight merge with no behavior change,
and the v2.0/v2.0.1 ambiguity is left exactly as it was. The ADR amendment and
the design doc no longer claim otherwise.

The refusal scope. I refused whenever the window was not COMPLETE, but #3166 is
about the TRUNCATED window specifically — the heading is found and the section
closes before the phase region, so pass-all archives everything. UNREADABLE and
UNSCOPED are pre-existing, legitimately handled states, and refusing on them
broke 'handles missing ROADMAP.md gracefully' and three archive tests. Narrowed
to TRUNCATED; docs corrected to match.

One of the new tests was also wrong: its fixture gave the shipped and current
milestones' phases the same numeric id, and the filter matches on that id, so it
could not have distinguished the two windows. Fixture corrected to exercise what
it claims to.

* fix(#3184): enumerate drift-scan.cjs for uninstall

The installer copies scripts/lib/ wholesale, but uninstall removes an explicit
set — deliberately, so a user's own helpers in that directory survive. The
extracted drift-scan.cjs was copied in and never enumerated, so it outlived
uninstall, left the directory non-empty, and the rmdir that follows failed.

Added to GSD_SCRIPTS_LIB_FILES, following allowlist-ratchet.cjs, which is
likewise a lint-only helper that ships there and is enumerated. Verified with a
real install-then-uninstall into a temp target: scripts/lib/ held exactly the
three GSD files and was gone afterwards.

* test(#3184): assert install and uninstall agree on scripts/lib and scripts/changeset

Found while shipping this phase, and fixed here rather than noted.

install() copies scripts/lib/ and scripts/changeset/ into the target WHOLESALE —
the comment at the copy site literally says "and any future lib helpers".
uninstall() removes them by hardcoded enumeration, deliberately, so a user's own
helpers in those directories survive. A wholesale writer paired with an
enumerated remover cannot stay in sync by construction: any file added to either
directory ships to every user and is then orphaned in their repo forever, since
it survives uninstall, leaves the directory non-empty, and the rmdir that follows
fails. Nothing reported this. 31,225 tests were green over it.

That is the same divergence class this epic exists to delete, sitting in the
installer, so it gets the same remedy CLAUDE.md prescribes for it: a parity
assertion that fails the moment the two surfaces disagree. The test compares each
directory's real contents against its enumeration and names the offending file
plus the constant to add it to.

Both enumerations are hoisted to module scope and exported, so the test asserts
on the actual arrays rather than pattern-matching the installer's source — no
allow-test-rule annotation needed. Proven non-vacuous both ways: empty diff on
the current tree, correct report when an unenumerated file is injected.

scripts/changeset/ turned out to carry the identical defect and is covered too.

f3ce2dbab5 docs(#3156): name the isolation this helper does NOT provide
Found by the pre-push adversarial review of this round, and worth recording in
the code rather than only in the PR thread.

installSpawnHome() creates one sandbox home per test-FILE process, not one per
spawn, so two installer spawns in the same file share .gsd state. The
containment claim is unaffected -- nothing reaches the developer's real home --
and it is strictly better than the status quo it replaces, which shared the real
home and every byte of its state. But "contained" and "isolated from each other"
are different properties, and only the first is claimed.

78330e505c fix(#3174): read quick's verification status via the verification.status query
`gsd-core/workflows/quick/steps/quick-verification.md` read the verifier's
result with `grep "^status:" F | cut -d: -f2 | tr -d ' '` and routed it through
a table whose only arms were passed / human_needed / gaps_found. That read
fails two ways. Driven against the old pipeline:

  never written (verifier died)      -> empty        -> no arm
  off-schema value                   -> weird_value  -> no arm
  `status:` in frontmatter AND prose -> two lines    -> no arm
  valid `passed` on a CRLF checkout  -> passed\r     -> no arm
  stale report still reading passed  -> passed       -> SUCCESS
  `status: passed` in the prose only -> passed       -> SUCCESS
  off-schema `passed:bogus`          -> passed       -> SUCCESS

The first four leave the orchestrating agent improvising at the moment the
pipeline failed. The last three are silent false passes: staleness was never
evaluated, the match was not anchored to frontmatter, and `cut -d: -f2` splits
an off-schema value at its own colon. The CRLF row is a pre-existing Windows
bug this change closes as a side effect.

The unanchored match is DEFECT.FRONTMATTER-SCALAR-BROAD-GREP, which the code
side already fixed by name — `readVerificationStatus` parses frontmatter only,
anchored at byte 0, and is total over its input space, returning `missing`,
`unknown` and `stale` sentinels. execute-phase.md, verify-work.md and
progress.md all read this same artifact through that query already; quick was
the remaining second mechanism.

Route quick's read through it and add an explicit terminal arm.

Three details a naive swap misses:

- The step file carries the runtime shim bootstrap itself. Step files are read
  and executed as their own units, so quick.md's bootstrap does not reach here.
  Copied byte-identically from gsd-core/workflows/_runtime-launcher.snippet.sh,
  the source sync-runtime-launcher.cjs generates every workflow's copy from.
  Without it the call resolves to nothing, 2>/dev/null swallows the error, and
  the fix degrades to a permanently-taken recovery arm.

- No jq. `--pick status` returns the bare value. Per #2589 a `| jq -r` pipe
  yields an EMPTY variable with no diagnostic wherever jq is absent — the
  Windows/Git-Bash default — which here would route a passing verification into
  the recovery arm, strictly worse than the grep being replaced.

- $VERIFICATION_STATUS is a DISPLAY string ("Verified" / "Needs Review" /
  "Gaps") consumed at quick.md:619 and quick.md:684, not the raw status. The
  raw value lands in $STATUS and the new arm sets both, so the failure path
  does not emit an empty index-table cell.

next_action / next_command are deliberately not surfaced. readVerificationStatus
discovers and parses shape-agnostically, which is what makes the status half
correct for ${QUICK_DIR}; but it also reads the directory basename as a phase
token to build those commands, and a quick dir is `${quick_id}-${slug}` with a
date-derived quick_id — so the projection carries the date as a phase argument.
Quick supplies its own recovery actions instead.

Adds tests/fix-3174-quick-verification-status-read.test.cjs under
`allow-test-rule: source-text-is-the-product` (CONTRIBUTING.md's exception
matrix; the pattern tests/verify-work-auto-transition.test.cjs already uses for
verify-work's status-query ordering). It pins five properties: the query
replaces the grep, the bootstrap precedes the call, the bootstrap matches the
canonical launcher snippet, the status-read fence is jq-free, and the terminal
arm names all three sentinels and sets the display string. Verified as a
negative control against pre-fix next: 0/5 pass there, 5/5 here.

6ac4d2e6ab fix(#3156): bound the cold-require probe the rebase turned into a violation
Post-rebase validity finding, not a new defect. The base range added
local/no-unbounded-spawn (#3143, 2afe17bb) and then DELETED its allowlist
(#3148, 9faacc0c), so the cold-require probe this PR added in 4bc6b0a2 --
legal when written -- is now an error. Bounded at 30s: a cold require is
sub-second, so that is ~30x headroom and still fails loudly rather than
hanging a lane.

Also routes this round's own teardown through cleanup() instead of raw
fs.rmSync, per local/no-raw-rmsync-in-tests, which carries the Windows-EBUSY
retry budget.

eslint clean on the file.

dbbbd7e89d chore(#3156): re-point the changeset at the successor issue
#2665 was closed by #3134 (the narrow three-variable scrub) while this PR was
open, so the changeset's issue refs pointed at resolved work. Re-pointed to
#3156, which is the class this PR actually closes. Fragment content is
otherwise unchanged; changeset-lint returns ok_fragment_present.

af39f13be2 test(#3156): pin the ambient-HOME leak the scrub set cannot reach
Two halves, and the second is the one that matters.

The contract half asserts installSpawnEnv() and installerEnv() both replace the
ambient HOME, keep USERPROFILE tracking it (os.homedir() reads that one on
Windows), and still let an explicit override win.

The behavioural half drives the REAL installer against a REAL ambient HOME: it
points process.env.HOME at a canary, runs `install.js --cursor --local`, and
asserts the canary gains no .gsd. No assertion about the scrub set can stand in
for this, because writeNonClaudeDefaults() resolves through os.homedir(), which
reads no GSD variable -- a set-membership test would pass with the bug fully
live.

Negative-controlled against the pre-fix tree rather than assumed: reverting
installerEnv() to `{ ...process.env, ...overrides }` fails BOTH halves, the
behavioural one reporting the actual artifact
("the installer wrote GSD's user store into the ambient HOME: defaults.json").

35df0891af fix(#3156): sandbox HOME on raw installer spawns — the one leak no scrub reaches
The strict live-config guard this PR ships went red on CI: the suite creates
$HOME/.gsd/defaults.json. Diagnosed rather than suppressed, because the guard
is right — this is #2665's class arriving through the one door the scrub set is
structurally unable to close.

bin/install.js writeNonClaudeDefaults() (#2834) writes
path.join(os.homedir(), '.gsd', 'defaults.json') for every non-Claude runtime.
os.homedir() consults NO GSD variable, so:

  - no entry in CONFIG_LOCATION_ENV_KEYS can reach it, however the set is
    derived; and
  - blanking GSD_HOME does not reach it either -- a blank GSD_HOME falls back
    to exactly that homedir().

Only a sandboxed HOME contains it, and HOME is deliberately excluded from
TEST_ENV_BASE because blanking it would break far more than it fixed. So the
containment belongs per-spawn, which is the discipline the suite already
applies by hand -- install-minimal-hooks.test.cjs:576 carries a comment
naming this exact hazard for the --codex spawn, while the parameterized
--${runtime} spawn 130 lines below it does not. Instance fixed, class open.

Rather than add a fifth hand-synced env shape to a PR whose subject is that
hand-synced copies drift, this adds ONE export -- installSpawnEnv() in
tests/helpers.cjs -- and routes every raw installer spawn through it, including
the shared tests/helpers/install-shared.cjs installerEnv(), which every install
suite already consumes. Callers passing an explicit { HOME, USERPROFILE } are
unaffected: overrides spread last.

Census (measured, not reasoned): of the 119 test files that spawn bin/install.js,
exactly four wrote into a sandboxed $HOME before this commit -- install,
copilot-install, install-minimal-hooks, opencode-plugin-adapter -- and zero do
after. Only install.test.cjs sits in CI's targeted lane, which is why ubuntu
went red on one file while the macOS full lanes went red on four.

Attribution: the leak reproduces unchanged at upstream/next itself, so the
defect is base-owned and pre-existing; only the detector is new. The guard
found a real leak on next within one run.

No new failures: the surviving names under a sandboxed HOME
(folded:enh-2380-sync-skills, getGlobalConfigDir (Copilot)) fail at base too,
and base additionally fails folded:bug-3288-model-catalog-install-path, which
this tree does not.

gen-context-index.cjs for docs/, and the example's own generator for the

fae0c6ae1a fix(#2665): stop watching shared ground, and derive the artifact prefix too
The previous commit widened the guard's watch set and claimed the enumeration
was complete. Re-running the pre-push adversarial gate on that commit -- which I
should have done before pushing it, and did not -- refuted the claim on four
counts. All four were real.

1. FALSE POSITIVES, which is the worse polarity. `hooks/lib`,
   `hooks/package.json`, `scripts/lib` and `scripts/changeset` were watched
   WHOLESALE. The installer preserves foreign files in every one of them -- it
   removes the CommonJS marker only on an exact content match, because "a
   user-authored package.json is never deleted" -- so a user editing their own
   helper mid-suite tripped the guard. A driven probe produced four violations
   from touching only user-owned files. Watching shared ground is exactly what
   the module's SCOPE note refuses: a guard that cries wolf gets switched off,
   and then catches nothing at all. Now only exact GSD filenames inside those
   dirs are watched, and a test asserts foreign edits stay silent.

2. THE PREFIX WAS HARDCODED, which is this PR's own defect one level down. Each
   artifactLayout declares its OWN prefix, and kimi's `kimi-agents` layout
   declares `gsd` with no hyphen, writing `agents/gsd.yaml` and `agents/gsd.md`.
   A fixed `gsd-` scan is structurally blind to both, as it is to pi's
   `extensions/gsd.js`. The prefix is now derived per parent, as a SET -- the
   same destSubpath carries different prefixes across runtimes (`agents` appears
   with both `gsd` and `gsd-`). `extensions` joins the non-registry parents; pi
   declares no artifactLayout at all, so no registry walk could find it.

3. THE ENTRY BOUND FAILED OPEN on a non-finite limit: `Math.max(0, NaN)` is NaN,
   and every budget comparison against NaN is false, so the walk was unbounded --
   the single thing the constant exists to prevent. Clamped with Number.isFinite.
   The walk also kept invoking itself for every remaining sibling after the
   budget was gone; it now returns.

4. THE RESIDUAL LIST WAS WRONG AGAIN. `agents/subagents/**` (kimi stages under an
   unprefixed intermediate dir), the loose capability generators, and the
   `extensions`/`plugins` CommonJS markers are all unwatched and were unnamed.
   They are named now, and the four shared dirs are recorded as DELIBERATELY not
   watched -- a different thing from missed.

Each fix is negative-controlled and each control fires. The NaN control did not
fire on its first form: the test asserted `truncated: false`, which the broken
code also produces on a small tree, so it discriminated nothing. Repaired with a
NaN perTarget against a small finite ceiling, where the two behaviours differ.

766480967e fix(#2665): derive the guard's artifact targets, and close the fallback hole in the extras
A pre-push adversarial review refuted this round's own completeness claim, and it
was right on all three counts. Fixes, in the order they matter:

1. The watch enumeration was still a hand-list, and it was measurably incomplete.
   It missed kilo's SINGULAR `command/`, hermes' `skills/gsd` (a whole directory
   whose name carries no `gsd-` prefix, so no prefix rule could ever reach it),
   `plugins/gsd-core.js`, and the unprefixed subtrees the installer fills --
   `hooks/lib`, `hooks/package.json`, `scripts/lib`, `scripts/changeset`.
   The parents are now DERIVED from the capability registry's own
   artifactLayout.global destSubpath values, exactly as TEST_ENV_BASE derives its
   keys, plus a named list for the non-registry paths the installer writes
   directly. A capability declaring a new destination now extends the watch set
   in the commit that declares it. Scope note: only `global` is walked --
   `workflows` is declared LOCAL-only (windsurf) and is not a config-root parent.

2. resolveExtraWatchTargets carried the identical ambient-only defect that
   Blocker 3 closed one function over: it resolved $GSD_HOME/.gsd and each kimi
   descriptor from the ambient env alone, so a child that BLANKED those vars
   wrote to the HOME-derived fallback while the guard watched the override. Both
   legs are now unioned, matching resolveLiveConfigRoots.

3. The order-independence claim for the scan budget was too strong. It holds
   BELOW the global ceiling; once MAX_TOTAL_ENTRIES is exhausted, which targets
   get curtailed still depends on iteration order -- inherent to any shared
   aggregate bound. The residual is now named in the docblock and the test title
   says which regime it pins, instead of asserting the general claim. Negative
   limits are clamped at 0 so an injected value cannot masquerade as a scan bound.

The module's KNOWN GAP now names its remaining residuals (the loose generator
scripts, the kimi native-root hook bundle) rather than implying completeness --
an unqualified claim here just invites the same refutation next round. Both
under-watch, which fails quiet.

Reverting the derivation fails two tests; reverting the fallback leg fails a
third.

104fc76f70 fix(#2665): watch the hook bundle and the install markers the census found
Self-found by re-deriving the guard-shape census against bin/install.js's own
write sites, not by a review finding. Three artifacts a global install writes
into a live config ROOT were watched by nothing:

  hooks/gsd-check-update.js, hooks/gsd-context-monitor.js,
  hooks/gsd-update-banner.js   -- `hooks` was absent from GSD_PREFIXED_PARENTS
  .gsd-source, .gsd-profile    -- absent from GSD_OWNED_ENTRIES, and an
                                  exact-name list does not match a dot-prefixed
                                  name via the `gsd-` prefix rule

This is the SAME shape as the leak that motivated the prefixed-parent scan in
round 1 -- a gsd-prefixed child under a parent nobody had listed -- one parent
over. That it recurred is the argument for re-deriving this list from the
installer each round instead of trusting it: the enumeration is the weak point
of an enumerate-and-block mechanism, and it does not announce when it falls
behind.

Ownership is unchanged, only coverage: `hooks/` is shared with the host agent,
so only `gsd-`-prefixed children are watched. A test asserts a host-owned
hook is still ignored, because widening the parent list must not widen
ownership -- a guard that flags the host's own files gets switched off, and
then catches nothing at all.

Reverting the widening fails the new test.

e31f706ceb docs(#2665): document the two live-config-guard env vars
The changeset for this PR is typed `Added`, and CONTRIBUTING requires a docs/
change for that type. The only docs/ file in the diff was CONTEXT-INDEX.json --
a GENERATED index -- so the Docs Required gate passed while no human-readable
documentation existed for either new variable. A gate satisfied by a generated
artifact is satisfied vacuously.

docs/TESTING-SUITES.md now carries a section on the guard: what it watches and
why it is ownership-scoped rather than whole-root, the two env vars in a table,
why the default is report-only and what the promotion condition is, and what
each violation label means (including that UNVERIFIED is not clean).

GSD_SKIP_LIVE_CONFIG_GUARD is named explicitly because it is a bypass on a
safety check. An undocumented bypass is one people eventually set without
knowing what they turned off.

A test asserts both variables appear in that doc -- checked as permitted by
local/no-source-grep before writing it, rather than assumed forbidden. It fails
when the section is removed, so the doc cannot rot back to the state the review
found.

f0ef9063d5 test(#2665): restore the three agent-skills tests this PR deleted
Commit 2bed9fd8 ("replace the hand-synced TEST_ENV_BASE copies with the
canonical import") also removed markLocalGsdInstall and three behavioural tests
from tests/agent-skills.test.cjs -- 79 lines, no replacement, and no mention in
the commit message or the PR body:

  - unconfigured Codex reads its local companion agent from a descendant cwd
  - workstream runtime selects the local Codex companion when root config differs
  - unconfigured Claude remains empty when a local Codex companion exists

RULESET.TESTS.delete-bad-tests permits deleting a bad test only when it is
replaced with compliant tests in the same PR. Nothing was replaced, and these
were not bad tests -- they were collateral in a mechanical edit. A silent net
loss of behavioural coverage inside a PR whose subject is test hygiene is the
one thing that should not pass here, and the reviewer was right to block on it.

Restored verbatim. They need no adaptation to the canonical TEST_ENV_BASE
import: they pass their env explicitly, and an explicit env still spreads last
over the base. The file goes 80 -> 83 tests, all green.

Non-vacuity checked rather than assumed: dropping the local-install marker the
first two depend on fails both. The third is a negative assertion and correctly
stays green, which is why it is named here rather than counted as covered.

e4f79c32b0 fix(#2665): wire the fourth suite lane, and derive the lane list instead of naming it
qa-loop-walk runs `npm run test:qa`, which is `run-tests.cjs --suite qa` -- so it
runs the live-config guard like every other suite lane, and it set no
GSD_STRICT_LIVE_CONFIG_GUARD. A leak of exactly the class this PR closes would
have printed a warning there and left the lane green.

The test that is supposed to prove the guard is wired everywhere could not
detect that, because its job list was three literals (`test`, `test-full`,
`test-inert`). A hand-list certifying its own completeness is the defect this
whole PR is about, reproduced inside the test guarding the fix -- so the list is
now DERIVED from the workflow: every job with a step reaching run-tests.cjs,
directly or through an npm script resolved transitively through package.json.
The indirection is the load-bearing half; a grep for the filename alone is what
made qa-loop-walk invisible.

The derivation asserts a floor (>= 4 jobs) before ruling on any of them, so a
selector that silently matched nothing fails loudly instead of passing
vacuously. Windows lanes keep their carve-out, keyed on whether the job's matrix
mentions windows rather than on the job's name.

Negative-controlled: un-wiring qa-loop-walk fails the new test. The literal
version passed with that lane unwired, which is how it shipped.
