1017898cb9 fix(#3771): make remediation examples non-binding and surface revision conflicts (#3916)
* fix(#3771): separate the binding property from the advisory remediation

Checker findings fused "what property failed" with "how to fix it" into a
single `fix_hint` and never marked which half binds. The checker rendered
every hint under a "must fix" heading, the orchestrators injected the issues
verbatim and ordered targeted updates, and the shared revision references
mapped each hint to a prescriptive strategy — so a contract-following planner
applied a hint literally even when a smaller mechanism satisfied the same
property, or when the hint contradicted a locked decision. There was no
channel to report that conflict, and every attempt burned a revision
iteration.

Checker side: every issue now carries a binding `required_property` (the
invariant that failed) plus its evidence and severity, and `fix_hint` is
labelled non-binding wherever it appears — including the human-facing blocker
rendering, so "must fix" unambiguously names the property and never the
example.

Planner side: revision re-checks locked decisions, capability guidance and
existing plan constraints before editing; satisfying a blocker through a
smaller valid alternative counts as addressing it; and a hint that conflicts
with any of those returns `REVISION_CONFLICT` carrying the conflict and the
alternatives considered. Orchestrators route that to user choice or the
configured plan-review convergence loop without consuming retry budget.

Also applied to the UI-spec revision loop and the gap-plan hint, and the
generic pattern's stray `suggested_fix` field name is reconciled to the
plan-checker's `fix_hint`.

Nothing legitimately binding is weakened: blockers still block, severity
still gates, iteration caps and stall escalation still fire, and required
task fields and decision coverage still hold.

Refs #3771

* test(#3771): pin the binding/advisory split across the revision chain

Locks the separation at every link that carries it: the checker's issue
schema and blocker rendering, the planner's constraint re-check and
REVISION_CONFLICT return, the generic pattern's reconciled field names, and
each orchestrator's conflict routing without retry-budget consumption. Also
pins what must not have been weakened — blockers, severity gating, iteration
caps and stall escalation.

Red against the pre-fix prose: 32 of 34 assertions fail (the 2 that pass are
the preservation checks, correctly).

Refs #3771

* chore(#3771): add changeset fragment for the remediation-binding fix

* chore(#3771): acknowledge the remediation-binding growth

Five runtime-loaded files grow: the two checkers carry the binding/advisory
split where the model reads it (a `required_property` on every dimension
example, since a schema the examples contradict teaches the examples), and
the three orchestrators carry the REVISION_CONFLICT route, which has to live
with the `iteration_count`/`revision_count` state it declines to spend.

Deletes tests/emitted-drift-acks/3172-stated-failing-direction.json: it is
fully spent on next and still owned plan-phase.md, so it walls off a key it
can no longer clear (#3078). Its removal is the documented remedy for the
duplicate-key collision, not drive-by cleanup.

* fix(#3771): close the review gaps in the conflict contract

Adversarial review (Codex, Antigravity) found four real defects in the first
pass, each confirmed against the source before acting:

- The UI checker's structured return still ordered `Fix: {exact fix required}`
  and "list each BLOCK dimension with exact fix required". The dimension
  examples had been marked non-binding but the rendering the researcher
  actually reads had not — the same omission this issue is about.
- `ui-phase` and the canonical `revision-loop` flow incremented their counter
  BEFORE dispatching the reviser, so "do NOT increment on REVISION_CONFLICT"
  was unreachable prose: the iteration was already spent. The increment now
  sits on the return path in both.
- The conflict gate offered "accept as-is", which is an early exit from a
  still-failing blocker — a weakening the brief explicitly forbids. The three
  options are now adopt an alternative / override the constraint / amend the
  constraint; every one resolves the conflict. Accepting an unaddressed blocker
  remains available only at the unchanged iteration-cap escalation.
- The convergence route was declarative: nothing in
  plan-review-convergence.md could receive a conflict. plan-phase now records
  it in REVIEWS.md — the channel that loop already consumes — convergence
  refuses to declare convergence over an open entry, and routing back into a
  run convergence itself started is explicitly excluded as a cycle. `quick` has
  no REVIEWS.md and no phase, so its convergence branch was dead prose and is
  deleted in favour of asking the user.

Also reconciles the last two drifted field names (`finding`, `affected_field`)
to the plan-checker schema, and repairs a silent no-op: the few-shot
`required_property` insertion never applied because those lines are
blockquoted, and the test's own block filter was anchored on indentation only,
so a vacuous loop passed over zero blocks. Both are fixed and the filter now
asserts it found blocks.

Refs #3771

* chore(#3771): extend the growth acknowledgment for the review round

plan-review-convergence.md joins the list: the conflict route needed a
receiving end, and it lands on the seam that loop already reads (REVIEWS.md)
rather than a new mechanism. The plan-phase, ui-phase and gsd-ui-checker
entries gain the second-pass reasoning — an executable convergence branch, the
increment moved onto the return path, and the structured return that still
ordered an exact fix.

* fix(#3771): make the conflict route bounded, ordered, and owned

Round-2 adversarial review found five more defects, each confirmed in the
source before acting:

- The convergence gate sat AFTER `gsd_run state planned-phase` and the success
  banner, so a run could write and announce convergence over an unresolved
  conflict. OPEN_CONFLICTS is now read from REVIEWS.md and is part of the
  converged CONDITION, evaluated before any write.
- plan-phase's cycle-exclusion ("unless this run was invoked by convergence")
  was not a question the orchestrator can answer at runtime. plan-phase now
  never invokes convergence at all — it records the conflict when a phase
  REVIEWS.md exists and resolves it with the user in-place, which removes the
  cycle instead of describing it.
- Closure had no owner. plan-phase writes the row, so plan-phase strikes it
  resolved; convergence only reads. An open row is a live blocker, never a
  stale artifact.
- Declining to increment the counter removed the only bound on the conflict
  path: an agent returning the same conflict forever would loop unattended. A
  conflict naming the same `required_property` twice in a row is now a stall
  and escalates through the existing gate.
- verify-work's gap-plan revision loop hands `<revision_context>` to
  gsd-planner and so inherits the whole contract, but stated none of it and
  could not handle the conflict return. It is now covered like the others, and
  is in the test's orchestrator table.

Refs #3771

* chore(#3771): acknowledge the round-2 growth

verify-work.md joins the list — the flow the second review found missed — and
the plan-phase, ui-phase and plan-review-convergence entries gain the
round-2 reasoning: the gate moved ahead of the state write, the convergence
hand-off replaced with a runtime-checkable record-and-resolve, and the
recurrence bound that replaces the counter the conflict path stopped spending.

* fix(#3771): make the convergence gate countable and stop the conflict fall-through

Third adversarial round (Antigravity) found three defects:

- The OPEN_CONFLICTS pipeline had no `grep -v '~~'` despite its own comment
  claiming one, and `grep -c '^| '` also counts a markdown table's header and
  separator rows — every resolved conflict would have read as open and
  convergence would have deadlocked instead of converging. plan-phase now
  records each conflict as a `- [ ]` checklist line and flips it to `- [x]`, so
  the gate is an exact fixed-string match with no table parsing.
- "then continue below" fell through to the checker spawn, so a SECOND
  REVISION_CONFLICT would have been handed to the checker as though it were a
  revised plan. plan-phase, quick and verify-work now re-evaluate the return
  from the top of the conflict handler; ui-phase already looped back.
- revision-loop.md still described plan-phase routing a conflict to the
  convergence loop instead of asking — the behaviour round 2 removed. Recording
  is now stated as being in addition to asking, never instead of it.

Refs #3771

* chore(#3771): bring the changeset in line with what shipped

Two review rounds widened the change after the fragment was written:
verify-work's gap-plan revision and the convergence loop are covered, two
more drifted field names are reconciled, and the conflict path carries an
explicit recurrence bound.

* fix(#3771): declare and emit the REVISION_CONFLICT marker

check:contract-drift on CI caught what local lint never reached: four
workflows dispatch on `## REVISION_CONFLICT`, but no agent declared or emitted
it — an orphan consumer, matching a marker nothing produces. The shared
reference (planner-revision.md Step 7b) described the return; the agent
definitions did not carry it.

gsd-planner and gsd-ui-researcher now emit the marker in-fence alongside their
other return markers, and both registry rows in agent-contracts.md declare it.
gsd-planner's Consumed by gains the two workflows that dispatch on it and were
missing from the row.

The gate is right: a return contract belongs where the agent is defined, not
only in a reference the agent happens to load.

Refs #3771

* chore(#3771): acknowledge the return-marker growth

gsd-planner.md and gsd-ui-researcher.md each gain the REVISION_CONFLICT
marker that check:contract-drift requires them to emit.

* fix(#3771): hoist the shared conflict protocol out of the workflows

Two CI failures, both correct gates:

- tests/few-shot-calibration.test.cjs pins the plan-checker calibration file
  at exactly 4 examples (2 positive, 2 negative). The example added in the
  first pass broke that balance — and described PLANNER behaviour in the
  CHECKER's calibration set, which is the wrong surface for it. Removed; the
  smaller-alternative rule is already normative in gsd-plan-checker.md and
  planner-revision.md, and pinned by the regression suite.
- tests/phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs (ADR-857 phase 6, #1168) requires
  plan-phase.md to stay BELOW its pre-phase-6 baseline of 94519 bytes. The
  inline conflict block pushed it to 94988.

The fix for the second is the one that should have been made first: the
record/resolve/close protocol and the recurrence bound were identical in four
workflows, and revision-loop.md — which plan-phase already @-imports — is what
a shared contract is for. The protocol now lives there once; plan-phase states
only its bindings (which counter, which artifact, which next step) and points
at it. plan-phase.md: 94988 -> 92739, under the ratchet with headroom, and the
four-way duplication is gone.

quick, ui-phase and verify-work do not import the reference, so they keep their
inline statements. The suite asserts each rule against what the runtime
actually loads for that orchestrator, not against the file in isolation.

Refs #3771

* docs(#3771): state the shared-protocol relationship accurately

Three of the four revision-bearing workflows do not @-import revision-loop.md,
so 'follows it verbatim' overstated the coupling. Only plan-phase defers; the
others restate the rules inline and this section is the authority they must
agree with.

* refactor(#3771): name the authority instead of restating it four times

Self-review finding: the same ~700-byte reviser paragraph was inlined in four
prompts while gsd-planner already loads planner-revision.md whenever
<revision_context> is present (agents/gsd-planner.md:555, :588) — a fifth copy
of the same contract. Four places to edit in lockstep is precisely the drift
class this PR exists to fix; the generic pattern calling the field
suggested_fix while the checker emitted fix_hint is what that looks like after
a year.

Each prompt now carries only the load-bearing clauses and names the authority
it summarises. Deliberately NOT reduced to a bare pointer: these are LLM
prompts, and a contract stated only in a file the reader is supposed to fetch
is the failure mode of this very bug. The saving is modest (~50 bytes each) —
the point is the named source of truth, not the bytes.

Suite: dropped seven assertions that pinned heading text and bold-lead
phrasing a reword would break without changing what the runtime is told; their
neighbours already pin the same contract by content. 519 -> 499 lines, 61
tests. Red gate against origin/next: 56 of 61 fail.

Refs #3771

* fix(#3771): sanitize agent-authored conflict text and bound total conflicts

Cross-AI review (agy/Gemini) raised two security findings. I confirmed the
first by running the gate's own awk against a crafted file and reproduced it
exactly; the second is a real hole in my bound.

1. FAIL-OPEN in the convergence gate. The conflict text is agent-authored and
   is appended to REVIEWS.md, which the gate scans with an awk that stops at
   the next '## ' heading. One line of agent text beginning '## ' ends that
   scan early, so conflicts below it are never counted and convergence declares
   success over a live blocker. Measured: 3 open conflicts, awk returned 2.

   Fixed at the write boundary, which is the trust boundary: every field has
   newlines and tabs collapsed to spaces and a leading '#', '-', '|' or fence
   stripped, so one conflict is exactly one line. Both producing agents now
   declare their fields single-line plain text, and the reader states the
   invariant it depends on so a later edit cannot silently break it. Verified:
   3 open + 1 resolved now counts 3; missing file and absent section count 0.

2. The recurrence bound was 'same required_property twice in a row', which an
   agent alternating property names never trips, leaving the un-incremented
   conflict path unbounded. Now bounded twice: the repeat rule catches the
   common case, and the THIRD conflict return of a loop escalates whatever
   property it names. A conflict still never consumes a revision iteration;
   this cap is separate from and additional to the revision cap.

Rejected from the same review: deleting 'a planner that reaches
required_property by a smaller or different mechanism has addressed the issue
in full' from the CHECKER prompt as misplaced. It is load-bearing exactly
there. A checker that does not know a different mechanism counts will re-flag
the issue on re-check, which is the revision loop that never terminates. The
argument offered for deleting it, that the checker evaluates the new state
independently, describes the failure mode.

Refs #3771

* fix(#3771): fail closed on an unverifiable convergence gate

Second cross-AI pass (agy, this time with the full files rather than the diff)
found two more, both real:

1. The gate read REVIEWS_FILE with `2>/dev/null || echo 0`, so an unreadable or
   empty path counted as ZERO open conflicts and converged. That path is
   resolved a few lines earlier by a pre-existing unquoted
   `ls ${phase_dir}/${padded_phase}-REVIEWS.md` (line 346, not touched by this
   PR), which yields an empty string rather than an error when the path
   contains a space. Unverifiable is not clean: the gate now tests -z and -r
   first and BLOCKS. Verified both branches.

   The unquoted ls itself is left alone deliberately — it predates this change
   and belongs to the reviews lookup, not the conflict gate. Fixing it at my
   own boundary removes its effect on this gate without widening scope.

2. REVIEWS.md is writable by the review agent, which could flip a `- [ ]` to
   `- [x]` or delete the section and forge the state of a blocking gate. The
   section now declares a single writer: /gsd:plan-phase appends and closes,
   every other agent leaves it byte-for-byte alone, readers read.

Also trimmed a clause that explained the increment ordering by reference to
what the file said before this PR. Commit history is not instruction, and
these files are prompts.

Rejected: the claim that quick's conflict gate deadlocks autonomous pipelines
by asking the user. Its existing max-iteration escalation in the same file
already asks the user the same way; this adds no new interaction class.
Noted but out of scope: the per-dimension YAML example blocks and the shim
boilerplate duplicated across agent prompts both predate this change.

Refs #3771

* fix(#3771): count conflicts by line shape, not by section

CodeRabbit review on the rehearsal PR. Five findings, all valid, all applied.

The best one is a deletion. The convergence gate scanned between
'## Plan-Revision Conflicts' and the next '## ' heading, and that scan stops at
the FIRST heading it meets — so one stray '## ' line hid every conflict beneath
it and returned 0, converging over a live blocker. Reproduced: section-scan 0,
shape-scan 1. Sanitizing at the write boundary does not cover a hand-edited,
legacy, or foreign-written REVIEWS.md, so the reader needed its own guarantee.

It now matches the conflict line SHAPE anywhere in the file:

  grep -c '^- \[ \] .*required_property:'

No section bookkeeping, nothing a heading can truncate, and it composes with the
writer's sanitization (which strips a leading '-' from agent text, so agent prose
cannot forge the shape). Verified: injected heading -> 1, all resolved -> 0.

The other four:

- Both checkers told the author never to emit a contradictory fix_hint, then
  offered an escape hatch that put the forbidden route in the hint anyway. They
  now name NO route in that case and state only that the property conflicts with
  the constraint. A hint carrying a forbidden route is applied by anyone who
  trusts hints.
- The REVISION_CONFLICT marker description in gsd-planner.md was narrower than
  planner-revision.md: it covered a contradictory hint but not an unreachable
  required_property. A planner reading only the agent file would have burned
  retry budget on the case the reference routes to a conflict.
- The few-shot calibration examples used uppercase BLOCKER/INFO while the schema
  defines blocker/warning/info. Pre-existing, but it is the same schema-vs-example
  disagreement this PR exists to end, and the file was already being edited.
- verify-work's re-entry instruction existed but sat after the Bounded clause, so
  the paragraph read "re-spawn ... stop re-spawning ... after re-spawning". The
  re-entry now immediately follows the re-spawn, and states that only a
  non-conflict return may reach the checker or increment iteration_count.

Refs #3771

* fix(#3771): resolve the contradictory scope_sanity severity examples

Sixth CodeRabbit finding, posted outside the diff range and missed on my first
read — I had claimed all findings were addressed after reading only the five
inline comments. This one was in the review body.

agents/gsd-plan-checker.md carried TWO scope_sanity examples with identical
metrics (5 tasks, 12 files) and OPPOSITE severities: warning in Dimension 5,
blocker in <examples>. Line 872 states "2-3 tasks/plan good, 4 warning, 5+
blocker" and the severity table lists warning as "Scope 4 tasks (borderline)",
so the warning example contradicted both.

ADR-2629 Decision 5's "over budget is a WARNING, never a blocker" does not
excuse it: that rule governs the smart-zone TOKEN estimate (the estimate-check
verb, lines 299-306), which is a different axis from task count. Verified in
source before touching it.

The contradiction is pre-existing but this PR made it binding and visible:
severity is now declared part of the binding payload, and both examples were
given the same required_property, so they now disagree on the severity of an
identical finding about an identical property.

Deviating from the proposed correction, which was warning -> blocker: that
would duplicate the <examples> entry outright (same tasks, files, severity).
The Dimension 5 example is instead made a genuine 4-task borderline warning, so
the file keeps one worked example per severity and the thresholds, the severity
table and both examples finally agree.

Refs #3771

* fix(#3771): stop laundering a grep error into zero open conflicts

Seventh CodeRabbit finding — from a SECOND review round my own CR-4 push
triggered, which I had not looked for. This one is a regression I introduced
while fixing the previous fail-open.

CR-4 replaced the truncatable section scan with:

  OPEN_CONFLICTS=$(grep -c '^- \[ \] .*required_property:' "$REVIEWS_FILE" || true)

`|| true` masks every grep failure. grep exits 1 for "no matches" (a legitimate
zero) but 2 for a read error, and `|| true` turns both into an empty capture
that `${OPEN_CONFLICTS:-0}` renders as 0. If REVIEWS.md is removed or becomes
unreadable between the -r check and the scan, the gate reports no conflicts and
convergence proceeds. Proven: unreadable file -> captured empty -> 0.

The status is now inspected, and only exit 1 counts as zero; anything else
blocks.

My first attempt at this fix was itself wrong and my own harness caught it: I
wrote `if ! grep ...; then grep_status=$?`, but `!` inverts the status, so `$?`
in that branch is 0 and every failure reads as success — the clean-file case
printed "BLOCKED (grep exit 0)". The status must be read in the ELSE branch of a
non-negated `if`, which is what CodeRabbit proposed. Both traps are now pinned
by tests.

Verified end to end: all resolved -> 0, no conflicts at all -> 0, injected
heading -> 1, unreadable file -> BLOCKED with grep exit 2.

Refs #3771

* test(#3771): execute the conflict gate instead of reading it

CodeRabbit round three: 0 actionable, 1 nitpick — "these assertions inspect
Markdown source only; they do not prove that grep status 1 produces zero
conflicts or that a scan error exits before convergence." Rated Trivial. It is
the most valuable finding of the three rounds.

This gate has been wrong three times: a section scan a heading could truncate, a
`|| true` that laundered grep's error status into zero, and an `if !` whose `$?`
reported the negation rather than the command. Every one of those passed the
text assertions that existed at the time. I proved each fix by hand in a shell,
and none of that proof lived in the suite.

The gate is one self-contained fenced block, so the test now extracts it from
the workflow — located by content, not line number — writes it to a script and
RUNS it against fixtures: two open plus one resolved counts 2; no matches counts
0 and does not fail; a conflict below an injected `## ` heading still counts; an
unreadable path and an empty path both BLOCK with a non-zero status and no zero
count on stdout.

Non-vacuity proven by mutation rather than asserted. Reverting the gate to each
of its three historical broken forms reds the suite:

  section-scan awk  -> 7 failures (5 in the gate cases)
  || true           -> 4 failures (3 in the gate cases)
  if ! (negated $?) -> 4 failures (3 in the gate cases)
  restored          -> 69 pass, 0 fail

The prose assertions stay: they are the right instrument for a prompt. This
covers the one part of the change that is real shell an orchestrator executes.

Refs #3771

* test(#3771): route the gate harness through the shared test helpers

ESLint's project rules caught three violations in the new harness: an unbounded
execFileSync (DEFECT.UNBOUNDED-SUBPROCESS — an unbounded spawn is an indefinite
hang, and on macOS CI that is how a stuck run stops reporting instead of failing)
and two raw fs.rmSync calls, which skip the Windows-EBUSY retry budget that
helpers.cleanup carries.

Now uses createTempDir/cleanup from tests/helpers.cjs and passes an explicit
30s timeout. Suppressing the rules was available and would have been the wrong
call: both exist because of real CI failure modes on platforms I am not testing
on.

* test(#3916): skip the extracted-gate suite's bash spawns on win32

Third review round's sole survivor: runConflictGate()/withReviews() spawn
bash against a Node-native temp path built by createTempDir(), which is
backslash-separated on the Windows CI lane and not a path Git Bash is
guaranteed to accept (DEFECT.WINDOWS-TEST-PORTABILITY, matching the
observed CI failure at revision-remediation-binding.test.cjs:844,
ENOENT on a path Windows read as a directory separator). No eslint rule
catches it since the call has neither a chmod nor a `bash -c` form.

Guards the four call sites with the repo's existing skipOnWin32
convention (describe/test `{ skip: IS_WINDOWS }`) rather than
normalizing the harness path to forward slashes, which would defeat the
one test whose purpose is proving the production gate does NOT rewrite
a literal backslash in a POSIX filename.

* fix(#3916): backfill changeset pr field to the fork validation PR number

* fix(#3771): forbid silently accepting an open plan-revision conflict at max-cycles escalation

The max-cycles escalation prompt only surfaced HIGH_COUNT and ACTIONABLE_COUNT; an open
plan-revision conflict (OPEN_CONFLICTS > 0) was never disclosed there, and "Proceed anyway"
could exit successfully over it — exactly the failure mode this PR exists to close (a success
banner over an unresolved conflict nobody resolved). Blockers still block: withhold "Proceed
anyway" and route to Manual review whenever a conflict is open.

* fix(#3771): do not hard-block REVISION_CONFLICT persistence when no REVIEWS.md exists yet

A phase's first-ever revision cycle can return REVISION_CONFLICT before any REVIEWS.md has been
written — REVIEWS_PATH is then legitimately empty, not a corrupt or deleted file. The persistence
gate's own accompanying prose already says the record channel applies 'when REVIEWS_FILE is
non-empty', but the bash condition never checked that, so it hard-blocked every conflict on a
brand-new phase regardless of whether persistence was even expected to run. Require a non-empty
REVIEWS_FILE before treating a missing file as an error.

* chore(#3771): raise the plan-phase.md ADR-857 host-loop ceiling to 96700

The frozen pre-phase-6 ceiling (94519) collided on rebase: this PR's own
REVISION_CONFLICT persistence/routing gate is core planner control flow, not an
un-extracted optional feature, and landed alongside an unrelated, already-merged
same-file growth (the #4.6 context-drift pre-check) already on next. Same
rationale #1298 already established for execute-phase.md's ceiling.

* chore(#3916): backfill changeset pr field to the upstream PR number

* fix(#3771): make the writer-side REVISION_CONFLICT sanitize step real shell

The Conflict Return record channel sanitized agent-authored fields via a
prose instruction ("Sanitize each agent-authored field before appending")
for the orchestrator LLM to apply by hand, while the reader-side gate in
plan-review-convergence.md parses the same slot with real, executed awk.
Flagged Minor across two review rounds (round 4, round 6) since no code
performed the sanitize anywhere.

plan-phase.md's Conflict Return step now runs a real bash gate: sanitize
each field (collapse newline/tab to space, strip a leading #/-/|/fence),
build the one-line record, skip the append if an identical line already
exists (idempotent), insert before the writer-owned end delimiter, and
fail closed if that delimiter is missing rather than silently dropping
the conflict.

tests/revision-remediation-binding.test.cjs extracts and RUNS the new
fence (matching how the reader gate is already tested), composing it
with the existing reader gate: hostile-field fast-check fuzzing, a
repeated-conflict idempotency check, and a missing-delimiter fail-closed
check that the file is left byte-for-byte unchanged on failure.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: plan-phase.md — #3916 turns the writer-side
REVISION_CONFLICT sanitize+insert step into real, executed shell instead
of a prose instruction, matching the reader gate's existing rigor

* fix(#3916): backfill changeset pr field to the fork validation PR number

Fork CI's changeset-lint reads the real PR number from its own event
payload; the fragment still carried the upstream number from the last
sync, so the DEFECT.CHANGESET-PR-FIELD-DRIFT check failed on this fork
PR. Re-backfill to the upstream number before the final push.

* fix(#3771): close the awk -v forgery and same-session close gaps agy found

Adversarial review (gemini-3.8-flash-high via the internal agy review
lane) on the full PR found two BLOCKERs against the just-added
writer-side conflict gate:

1. `awk -v line="${LINE}"` decodes escape sequences in its argument, so
   a literal two-character `\n` in agent-authored text became a real
   newline inside awk, splitting the appended record across two
   physical lines. `tr` only strips actual control bytes, so it never
   saw this — it defeated the exact forgery the gate exists to
   prevent, both the reader's zero-count and the writer's own
   idempotency check. Fixed by passing LINE/END through awk's
   ENVIRON, which is not escape-decoded.

2. A conflict resolved and re-spawned within the same plan-phase
   session was never flipped from `- [ ]` to `- [x]` — the record
   channel bullet said "plan-phase closes it," but no step did. Only
   a *separate* `--reviews` re-entry (line ~622, still prose-only)
   closes conflicts; the in-session resolve path left them open
   forever, permanently blocking convergence. Fixed by carrying the
   just-written line in `PENDING_CONFLICT` and closing it in the
   `Otherwise` branch before the checker re-spawns.

Also fixed a MAJOR: docs/COMMANDS.md described the `--max-cycles`
escalation gate as uniformly offering "proceed or review manually,"
but the code (this PR's own change) withholds "Proceed anyway"
specifically when a plan-revision conflict is open — only manual
review is offered in that case. Docs now say so.

Not applied: the reviewer's `\r` truncated to plain tr from a MINOR
that also asked for temp-file permission preservation across `mktemp`.
Applying `chmod --reference` is not portable to macOS/BSD `chmod`, so
this is left as a documented low-severity tradeoff — the temp file now
sits alongside REVIEWS.md (same filesystem, atomic `mv`), which was
the same finding's more substantive half. Also not applied: a
suggested `gsd_run review record-conflict` CLI subcommand to
deduplicate the two `awk` blocks — a new command plus wiring is out of
scope for a review-remediation fix.

tests/revision-remediation-binding.test.cjs adds regression coverage
for both BLOCKERs: a literal-backslash-n hostile field composed with
the reader gate, and a close-gate extraction that verifies the flip to
`[x]`, the reader's count dropping to 0, and a fail-closed path when
the pending line is missing.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: plan-phase.md — #3916 fixes an awk -v escape-
decoding forgery and adds the missing same-session conflict-close step
an adversarial review found in the writer-side gate

* chore(#3916): backfill changeset pr field to the upstream PR number

Fork-validation CI needed pr: 1 to pass its own changeset-lint; restore
pr: 3916 before this push reaches open-gsd/gsd-core.

* fix(#3771): trim plan-phase.md prose back under the XL byte cap

Merging origin/next's unrelated growth pushed plan-phase.md 473 bytes
past the workflow-size-budget XL cap and the ADR-857 phase-6 baseline,
both tripped by CI after review approval. Removed an unpinned inert
bash comment and tightened connective prose in three REVISION_CONFLICT
bullets; no executable shell or test-pinned substring changed.

* chore(rehearsal): pin changeset pr field to fork rehearsal PR #25

Scratch-only commit for the rehearsal branch's own CI. Will not be
carried onto the branch backing upstream #3916 — that keeps pr: 3916.

* fix(#3771): address CodeRabbit findings on the REVISION_CONFLICT protocol

Fork rehearsal PR #25's first CodeRabbit pass surfaced 7 findings against
the already-approved #3916 diff; each verified against current code
before fixing (none hallucinated):

- plan-phase.md: writer-side awk gates now strip a trailing \r before
  comparing lines, matching the reader gate (plan-review-convergence.md)
  -- a CRLF REVIEWS.md previously made both writer gates fail closed.
- plan-phase.md: the close-fence's REVIEWS_FILE/PENDING_CONFLICT/
  CONFLICT_RESOLUTION were read without ever being (re)defined in that
  fence -- shell state does not survive across separate fenced blocks
  (same convention already documented in review.md). Added the explicit
  recompute/set instruction.
- revision-loop.md: previous_conflict_property was never reset after a
  normal (non-conflict) revision, so a later, unrelated conflict on the
  same property could be misread as a repeat and escalate prematurely.
- gsd-plan-checker.md / few-shot-examples/plan-checker.md: two example
  required_property strings were unconditionally binding in a way their
  own dimension's rules aren't (no-analog RESEARCH.md fallback; tasks
  that create no functions), now scoped to match.
- quick/steps/plan-checker-loop.md: added the same disjoint
  "Otherwise (not REVISION_CONFLICT)" branch plan-phase.md already had,
  closing an ambiguity between the conflict and non-conflict return paths.
- revision-remediation-binding.test.cjs: the REVIEWS_PATH init-order
  assertion used indexOf() without checking for -1, so it would pass
  vacuously if either anchor were renamed away.

Also restores an "Export the row's CONFLICT_*" instruction I had cut in
the prior byte-budget trim -- checked non-pinned by tests, but it was the
only text telling the agent to set those vars before the awk block reads
them via ENVIRON.

Net growth from these fixes required reclaiming bytes elsewhere in
plan-phase.md (verified against every pinned substring in
revision-remediation-binding.test.cjs) to stay under the XL tier's
hard 98304-byte cap; final size 98245 bytes.

* fix(#3771): resync the #4079 shrink-only mirror to the current PRE_PHASE6 line

tests/plan-phase-background-wait-wakeup.test.cjs (landed on next via an
unrelated #4079 PR, merged in by this branch's next-sync) mirrored
plan-phase.md's phase6 shrink-only ceiling as a hardcoded local constant
(94519) rather than reading tests/phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs's
PRE_PHASE6 value. That value has since been legitimately raised twice
during this PR's own review (94519 -> 96700 -> 98300) to accommodate the
REVISION_CONFLICT persistence/routing gate. The two branches' independent
histories left the mirror stale post-merge -- not a textual git conflict,
but the same class of thing. Resynced to 98300.

* fix(#3771): address round-2 CodeRabbit findings on the conflict gates

CodeRabbit's re-review of the previous remediation commit found two real
issues in what it had already flagged:

- Both writer-side awk CRLF fixes used \`sub(/\r$/, "")\` directly on \`\$0\`,
  which mutates it in place -- \`{ print }\` then emitted the CR-stripped
  copy for every passed-through line, silently rewriting an unrelated
  CRLF REVIEWS.md to LF on any insert or close. Now compares against a
  separate \`cur\` copy and prints the original, untouched \`\$0\`.
- The close-fence's "recompute REVIEWS_FILE/PENDING_CONFLICT" prose
  implied in-fence derivation, but the fence has no such code and the
  test harness (\`runCloseGate\`) deliberately supplies all three as
  pre-set env vars -- matching how the open fence's "Export the row's
  CONFLICT_*" instruction already works. Reworded to "export ... in the
  same invocation", matching that established, test-verified pattern
  instead of promising logic that isn't there.

Added a regression test proving the CRLF fix no longer touches
passthrough lines (red against the mutate-in-place version, green now).

* fix(#3771): use a CRLF-safe check in the new passthrough regression test

local/no-crlf-fragile-split forbids splitting readFileSync content on a
literal \n (Windows git-autocrlf checkouts yield \r\n). My CRLF
passthrough-preservation test from the previous commit did exactly that
to inspect the first line. Replaced with a direct startsWith() check
against the known CRLF-terminated header, which needs no split.

* test(#3771): assert the record itself is inserted in the CRLF passthrough test

CodeRabbit nitpick (round 3): the passthrough-preservation test checked
gate status and the pre-existing line's CRLF ending, but never asserted
the new REVISION_CONFLICT record was actually written.

* fix(#3771): address agy/gemini-3.8-flash-high adversarial review findings

Full-PR adversarial review (internal /gsd-review antigravity lane,
gemini-3.8-flash-high) surfaced 9 findings; each verified against current
code before fixing (none hallucinated):

HIGH:
- quick-batch/steps/plan-checker-loop.md never received the
  required_property/fix_hint binding language or REVISION_CONFLICT
  handling this PR added everywhere else -- a genuinely unmigrated
  producing context. Migrated to match quick/steps/plan-checker-loop.md,
  and added it to the ORCHESTRATORS consistency battery in
  revision-remediation-binding.test.cjs so future drift is caught
  automatically.
- The close-fence's PENDING_CONFLICT was an agent-supplied env var that
  had to exactly reconstruct a five-field sanitized line across a
  multi-minute subagent dispatch -- fragile, and a scalar var also meant
  a second simultaneous conflict silently dropped the first on overwrite.
  Redesigned to match the open conflict by CONFLICT_DIMENSION/
  CONFLICT_PLAN identity instead: the agent re-supplies two short,
  already-tracked identifiers rather than reconstructing the full
  sanitized text, and each conflict resolves independently regardless of
  how many are open. Updated the test harness's runCloseGate contract to
  match, and added a two-open-conflicts regression test.

MEDIUM:
- plan-phase.md's `--reviews` replanning path told the reader to "flip
  the matching line to [x]" in prose only, with no executable path to
  it -- pointed it at the same close gate used in step 12.
- plan-review-convergence.md's reader-gate awk tolerated a blank line
  before the opening delimiter but not before the heading that follows
  it; a formatter or LLM writer inserting one would hard-abort
  convergence on an otherwise well-formed REVIEWS.md. Added the same
  tolerance already granted above it, with a regression test.

LOW:
- Clarified that the escalation destination for a stalled conflict is
  the same iteration/revision-count cap gate already defined in each of
  quick, quick-batch, ui-phase, and verify-work, rather than an
  undefined "stall" concept.
- Clarified "twice in a row" means no successful revision intervened,
  matching revision-loop.md's now-explicit previous_conflict_property
  reset.
- Fixed gsd-ui-researcher.md's stale rationale text, copied verbatim
  from planner-revision.md: ui-phase presents the conflict table
  directly to the user, it does not persist to a shared file scanned by
  heading.

Net growth again required reclaiming bytes in plan-phase.md (verified
against every pinned substring in revision-remediation-binding.test.cjs)
to stay under the XL tier's hard 98304-byte cap; removed a now-dead
PENDING_CONFLICT assignment in the process. Final size 98258 bytes.

* fix(#3771): scope row 48's quick/steps guard away from plan-checker-loop.md

tests/gsd-quick-batch-quick-regression.test.cjs's row 48 (#3676) flagged
this branch's quick-batch/steps/plan-checker-loop.md migration (the agy
HIGH finding) as a violation, because it also edits
quick/steps/plan-checker-loop.md for the same underlying #3771 protocol
fix.

Verified against git history before scoping: 2f64e6230 (#3676's own
landing commit) CREATED quick-batch/steps/plan-checker-loop.md as a new,
independent 119-line file, never a call-site into quick/'s copy. Row
48's "shared primitives, never edits the ordinary quick command" premise
was never about this specific file -- it was always meant to carry its
own per-flow copy of whatever revision-loop contract applies, same as
ui-phase.md/verify-work.md throughout this PR. This is the same
false-positive class the row's own comments already document scoping
away twice (#3730, #2529 round 40); excluded plan-checker-loop.md from
its touched-quick-steps check with the same evidence trail.

* chore(#3771): point changeset pr field at upstream PR 3916

0fca71eaae enhance(#2529): cover every workflow with response-language directives + CI lint (#2558)
* enhance(#2529): cover every workflow with response-language directives + CI lint

Every workflow now carries response-language coverage in one of three forms,
and a CI lint keeps it that way.

- 43 workflows load the new shared reference,
  `gsd-core/references/response-language-directive.md`, by eager `@`-import.
- Lazy-loaded modes/steps/templates, which cannot rely on an eager import,
  carry an exact inline directive; 35 such paths are pinned by exact path.
- Fragments dispatched by a covered parent inherit coverage, proven per file
  rather than granted per directory.

The 45 workflows whose directive covered only "questions, prompts, and
explanations" now name inter-tool narration, which is the defect #2529
reports: the running commentary between tool calls stayed English while the
answers around it were translated.

`scripts/lint-response-language-coverage.cjs` enforces it and fails closed on
three independent discovery failures (unreadable catalog, empty catalog,
unfollowed symlink). It resolves which reference a workflow imports and applies
the same four-predicate test to that file, so a weakened shared reference
uncovers its importers instead of passing silently, reported once as a systemic
failure rather than 43 times. The walk follows symlinked subtrees with a
realpath cycle bound. `lint:ci` invokes it by name.

REQ-LANG-03 and REQ-LANG-04 state the contract in docs/FEATURES.md;
REQ-LANG-04 names the two forms that satisfy it ("narration", "between tool
calls") rather than enumerating class members an author cannot use verbatim,
and a test pins that text to what the matcher accepts.

* chore(#2529): register the coverage test in the docs-guard lane

`107eb8c1` (#3787) landed the docs-guard lane on `next` while this PR was
open: a test that reads a `docs/` path must be named in
`scripts/docs-guard-registry.cjs` or carry a `docs-guard-exempt` marker,
so the guards that read a doc run on the PR that changes it.

`tests/response-language-coverage.test.cjs` reads `docs/FEATURES.md` -- it
extracts every form REQ-LANG-04 offers an author and runs each through the
matcher that enforces it. Registration, not exemption, is the correct side
of that gate: a reword of the requirement with no code change is precisely
the diff this test exists to catch, and it is the diff the lane would
otherwise skip.

Registered narrowly (`['docs/FEATURES.md']`) rather than with the `'*'`
sentinel, so an unrelated docs change does not pull this test into the lane.

Verified: lint-docs-guard-registration 0 violations, tests/ci-docs-guard-registry.test.cjs
51/51, lint:ci exit 0.

* chore(#2529): consolidate this PR's emitted-growth acks into its own fragment

This PR ripples emitted bytes across 85 workflow paths. Until now each ripple
was acknowledged by appending to whichever live fragment owned that path,
because two ack sources may never name the same path.

`a84f7563` (#3078) swept all 45 fully-spent fragments off `next`. Forty-two of
the paths this PR grows were owned by swept fragments, so those keys are now
unowned and this PR's own fragment declares them directly -- one path, one
source, and no dependence on a fragment that no longer exists. Each adopted
entry keeps its measurement and records where it came from.

Two paths are handled differently, because the sweep did not free them:

- `review.md` is now owned by `3034-parallel-reviewer-lanes.json`, which
  landed on `next` after the sweep. Its entry is live, so the old route still
  applies: this PR's note is appended to that entry rather than declared a
  second time.
- `plan-review-convergence.md` keeps the arrangement made in round 24.

Result: 3 fragments in the directory, 85 keys in this PR's own,
0 cross-source duplicates. `lint-emitted-drift-ack` exit 0,
`tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs` green.

* fix(#2529): move REQ-LANG-03/04 into the feature fragment that now generates them

`36375513` (#3845) made docs/FEATURES.md a generated projection of
docs/features/*.md, marked "do not edit by hand". This PR wrote REQ-LANG-03
and REQ-LANG-04 straight into the generated file, so the rebase left the
requirement present in the projection and absent from its source -- the next
regeneration would have deleted both, and `tests/features-index-gate.test.cjs`
was already red on the mismatch.

Both requirements now live in docs/features/response-language-config.md
alongside REQ-LANG-01 and -02. Regenerating produces a docs/FEATURES.md that is
byte-identical to the committed one, so the text this PR shipped is unchanged --
only its source of truth moved to where #3840 put it.

The docs-guard registration is widened to name the fragment as well as the
projection. The requirement's source is the fragment now, and an edit there
that skips regeneration would otherwise reach this guard through neither path.

Verified: features-index-gate 68/68, lint-docs-guard-registration 0 violations,
ci-docs-guard-registry + response-language-coverage 142/142.

* chore(#2529): hand the plan-phase ack back to its new live owner

`c933184b` (#3825) landed `3172-stated-failing-direction.json` on `next` after
fragment had adopted that path when the sweep left it unowned, so the merged
tree named it from two sources -- a hard failure in
`scripts/lint-emitted-drift-ack.cjs`.

The path has a live owner again, so the append route applies: this PR's note
joins that entry, carrying its own measurement, and the key is dropped from
this PR's fragment (84 keys left, the others untouched). The provenance
sentence written for the swept-fragment case is removed rather than reused --
this path was never orphaned, so that account of it would be false.

Same shape as `review.md` and `plan-review-convergence.md`: ownership is a
property of the merged tree, and a fragment landing upstream after a push can
reclaim a key no local check would have flagged.

Verified: lint-emitted-drift-ack exit 0, lint:ci exit 0.

* fix(#2529): state byte figures that are true against the tree

The reference claimed `execute-phase.md` has "2 bytes of headroom under the
ceiling named below". That was true when the sentence was written -- the file
sat at 93398 against the 93400 comfort assert -- and upstream has since shrunk
it to 91493 against a 93600 hard ceiling, so the figure now understates the
headroom by three orders of magnitude. The rationale the sentence supports does
not depend on the number, so the number is gone rather than refreshed: a
restated figure would go stale again on the next upstream edit, and nothing
parses it.

Audited every other numeric claim this PR ships the same way, mechanically
against the merge base: all 82 FILE-delta claims in the ack fragment match the
real per-file delta exactly, and the 1,629-byte reference and 63-byte import
line check out. One class was imprecise: the 41 notes for workflows whose
inline directive was rewritten in place quoted the conversion counterfactual as
"+1,692 bytes more loaded context", which is the reference form's whole weight,
not the increase over the inline directive those files already carry. Each now
names both quantities and the net (+1,605 / +1,609 / +1,584).

* fix(#2529): one rule for pinned vs inherited coverage, and the docs to pick it

Review measured that 14 of the 35 pinned fragments would pass by inheritance
anyway, and that the PR asserted both readings at once: inheritance is real
coverage (so those 14 pins are noise) or it is not (so 30 inheriting fragments
are green-but-uncovered). Only one can be true.

Inheritance is real: the predicate proves it per file -- the parent must
dispatch this exact path from a read/execute context AND be covered itself --
so the parent's directive is in the loaded context by the time the fragment is
read. The 14 pins are therefore removed along with the directive lines they
pinned, and those files inherit like the 30 structurally identical ones. The
rule is now stated where the set is declared, and enforced from the other side
by a test: no member of the pinned set may be one that would have inherited.
That is what decides the form for the next fragment.

- pinned set 35 -> 21; 14 workflow files revert to their base content
- `findViolations` no longer returns early on a pinned path: a file that becomes
  eagerly loaded and takes the shared reference is strictly better off, and the
  gate must not red that. The reference form is admitted because its own wording
  is validated in turn; an arbitrary reworded inline line still fails.
- the reference-directive cache is keyed by size and mtime, not by path alone,
  so a rewritten reference re-asked in one process no longer returns the stale
  verdict
- `carriesInlineDirective` names its negation blindness: four independent hits
  read vocabulary, not polarity
- the real-tree scan asserts each source produced files instead of `> 152`, a
  constant that read as the workflow count and would have passed a scan that
  lost one of its two directories
- the pinned-set size assertion goes the same way: the size follows from the
  rule, so the rule is what the suite asserts

Docs, for the gate that now governs every future workflow:
- `docs/contributing/response-language-coverage.md` -- why the narration class
  is the discriminator, the four coverage forms, the decision order that picks
  one, the pinned line, and what each failure message means
- a row in CONTRIBUTING.md's CI checks table, matching the docs-guard row
- `docs/CONFIGURATION.md` points at it from the `response_language` entry

Also: the changeset said 45 reworded workflows; it is 44 (42 @-reference + 21
pinned + 44 rewritten = 107 touched). That text ships to CHANGELOG.md.

`3707-parse-gap-reporting.json` landed on `next` reclaiming `audit-uat.md` and
`progress.md`; both handed back by the append route, leaving 82 keys here.

* fix(#2529): correct the reference-taker count, 43 -> 42

The ack notes said the import line is byte-identical "in each of the 43
workflows that take the reference" and that the alternative would be "43 inline
copies". The shared reference has 42 importers; the 43rd file in review's table
is `execute-phase.md`, which imports the OTHER reference. Corrected in all 41
notes that carry the sentence, across this PR's fragment and the two it appends
to.

Found by re-running the numeric audit from the previous round after the rebase,
which also re-verified all 84 FILE-delta claims against the new base -- all
exact.

* chore(#2529): migrate the emitted-drift ack from a fragment to commit trailers

ADR-3942 (#3954) landed while this PR was open: the acknowledgment is now a commit
trailer and tests/emitted-drift-acks/ no longer exists. The fragment is deleted and
each key it declared becomes one trailer, reasons unchanged.

The four keys this PR had handed to 3034-*, 3172-* and 3707-* under the one-source
rule come home here. That rule was the whole reason for the hand-backs, and the
trailer model has no shared namespace to collide in -- five of this PR's rounds were
spent on exactly those collisions.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: add-backlog.md — #2529 — RESTATED in round 10, superseding this PR's earlier "+63 bytes, prose only" wording, which reported a file delta as if it were the whole cost. The workflow gains the shared response-language directive as a single `@`-reference line. FILE delta: +63 bytes, byte-identical in each of the 42 workflows that take the reference. LOADED-CONTEXT delta: +1,692 bytes per workflow — the 63-byte import line plus the 1,629 bytes of `gsd-core/references/response-language-directive.md`, because an `@`-import in this repo is EAGER (ADR-1610 Decision point 4; docs/ARCHITECTURE.md: moving prose into a file that is still eagerly `@`-imported "shrinks the measured file without shrinking loaded context"). The repo's size gates — the tier hard caps in `tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs` and this size ratchet — measure the FILE, not the transitive inline, so they see 63 of those 1,692 bytes; the remaining 1,629 are declared here because no gate reads them. The eager import is accepted on its merits, not hidden: 42 inline copies would be 43 places for the wording to drift, and the reference is the one place it is maintained. Prose only: no step, gate, tool invocation, or subagent dispatch shape changed.

* fix(#2529): read the catalog-relative dispatch spelling, and the plural of "output"

Two false positives in the coverage lint, both surfaced by this round's work
rather than by a red gate finding them for us.

#3552 landed `execute-phase/steps/protected-branch.md` on next while this PR was
open, dispatched from execute-phase.md's `"none"` arm with the path written
RELATIVE to the catalog. `namesFragmentAsEntryPoint` only ever looked for the
`gsd-core/workflows/`-rooted spelling, so it read a live dispatch as no dispatch
and the new fragment as uncovered. It now accepts both spellings and matches the
relative one on a path boundary, so `vendor/<path>` cannot vouch for `<path>`.

Recognizing that spelling makes one pin redundant: execute-phase.md dispatches
executor-isolation-dispatch.md the same way, so the fragment inherits and its
own copy of the sentence comes back out. That is the rule round 29 encoded,
enforced by the test that measures it rather than by hand.

`output` was the one term in USER_OUTPUT_RE without an `s?`, so "translate all
outputs, including narration between tool calls" read as uncovered. The new
property tests caught it on their first run.

Those properties pin the rule the hand-written cases are instances of: four
signals on ONE line accept, dropping any one rejects, spreading them across
lines rejects. The vocabulary is written out in the test rather than read back
from the script's regexes, per CONTRIBUTING.md "Fixture provenance (#2371)" -- a
generator seeded from the matcher can only re-derive what the matcher already
believes, and that independence is what caught the plural. Both new properties
are mutation-verified: dropping the narration predicate reds the necessity
property, and collapsing the document to a single line reds the cross-line one.

* enhance(#2529): spell the narration enumeration out in the last two shorthand directives

discuss-phase.md and plan-phase.md were the only two of this PR's 44
rewordings that abbreviated the inserted clause to "narration between tool
calls included" instead of naming the output classes the way the rest of them
do. Both forms satisfy the lint's four predicates, so nothing was broken --
but the point of #2529 is that an author reading one workflow should not have
to infer what the neighbouring one means by "included".

Both abbreviations were size decisions rather than wording ones, and both
reasons have since expired because next shrank the files. discuss-phase.md
sat 25 bytes under the 32,000-byte #717 dispatcher budget and now has 1,825;
plan-phase.md sat 87 bytes under the 94,519-byte ADR-857 capstone ratchet
against a +108 clause and now has 3,180. Neither budget is raised here and no
unrelated prose is trimmed; workflow-size-budget and
phase6-capstone-conformance both pass.

discuss-phase.md started from the identical upstream sentence as verify-work.md
and new-milestone.md ("All user-facing questions, prompts, and explanations in
this workflow"), and those two received the full enumeration; it now matches
them exactly. plan-phase.md keeps its own scope word ("orchestrator output") and
its subagent pass-through instruction, both upstream's, and only trades the
shorthand for the enumeration.

The shorthand now appears nowhere in the catalog. The two remaining variants
(plan-review-convergence.md, spec-phase.md) keep upstream's own verb and scope
and end on "report prose", which is what those workflows actually emit --
rewriting those would change a directive's strength, not its wording.

* fix(#2529): match the workflow extension case-insensitively in coverage discovery

`findMarkdownFilesRecursive` filtered on `entry.name.endsWith('.md')`, so
`SETTINGS.MD` — the same file to Windows and macOS, a different one to Linux —
was skipped on the only platform whose verdict gates the merge. The direction of
that failure is the problem: a workflow the walk declines to see is a workflow
this lint certifies by omission, which is the same vacuous pass `main()` already
refuses when discovery returns nothing at all.

The filter is now an allowlist keyed on the lowercased `path.extname`.
`.mdx` stays out on purpose: admitting an extension states what a workflow IS,
and that claim has a second half — `inheritsParentCoverage` resolves a
fragment's parent as `<workflow>.md`. An `.mdx` entry belongs here next to the
parent resolution it would have to move with, not ahead of it.

Two tests: an uppercase-extension file is discovered AND lands as a violation
rather than an exemption, and every admitted extension is spelled so the
lowercasing match can reach it (an uppercase or dotless entry would be dead
configuration that reads like coverage).

* enhance(#2529): cover the quick-batch workflow that #3676 landed uncovered

`next` gained `quick-batch.md` and nine step fragments in 2f64e6230 (#3676,
PR #4212) with no response-language directive, so the merge result reds this
PR's own lint with 10 violations. The lint is doing exactly what it exists to
do; the coverage is what has to move.

`quick-batch.md` takes the shared @-reference on line 1, the same as the other
42 top-level workflows, and eight of the nine fragments then inherit through
its `read and execute` stubs. The ninth does not:
`quick-batch/steps/plan-checker-loop.md` is dispatched by a SIBLING fragment
(`planner-wave.md:134`) and named in the parent only inside a parenthetical
with no dispatch verb, which is the shape round 29's rule already covers for
`execute-phase/steps/regression-gate-run.md` and
`plan-phase/steps/prd-express-path.md`. It carries the pinned inline directive
and joins `EXACT_INLINE_DIRECTIVE_WORKFLOWS`; the comment above that set now
names four such fragments instead of three. Coverage: 163 workflows.

`FULL_BUDGET` in tests/skill-frontmatter-contract.test.cjs moves 844 -> 846.
The same commit grew `help/modes/full.md` from 834 to 844 lines, landing it
exactly on the ceiling with zero slack, and the two lines this PR adds there
are its pinned directive and the blank separating it. That is a coverage
contract every workflow carries, not the content creep the budget guards.
The #597 ratchet rule holds: actualMax 846, slack 0, well inside LARGE_GRACE.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: quick-batch.md — #2529: the workflow arrived on `next` in 2f64e6230 (#3676, PR #4212) with no response-language directive, so this PR's lint reds on the merge result; covering it is the PR's whole contract, not an optional extra. It gains the shared directive as a single eager `@`-reference line, the identical form the other 42 top-level workflows take. FILE delta: +62 bytes, as the gate measures it. LOADED-CONTEXT delta: +1,691 bytes — the import line plus the 1,629 bytes of `gsd-core/references/response-language-directive.md`, because an `@`-import in this repo is EAGER (ADR-1610 Decision point 4; docs/ARCHITECTURE.md: moving prose into a file that is still eagerly `@`-imported "shrinks the measured file without shrinking loaded context"). The repo's size gates read the FILE and not the transitive inline, so they see 62 of those 1,691 bytes; the remaining 1,629 are declared here because no gate reads them. Prose only: no step, gate, tool invocation, or subagent dispatch shape changed. Nine `quick-batch/steps/*` fragments are covered without a byte of their own — eight inherit through the parent's dispatch stubs, and the ninth takes the pinned inline sentence, which the emitted surface does not measure.

* fix(#2529): scope row 48 by what a diff says, not by which paths it names

`tests/gsd-quick-batch-quick-regression.test.cjs` treats any branch touching a
`quick-batch` path as #3676 phase work, then forbids it from editing ordinary
`quick.md`. This PR covers EVERY workflow with the shared response-language
directive — quick-batch.md and its fragments included — so the scope check
turned true, and the row read this PR's one-line directive on `quick.md` as a
phase violation.

That is the false positive the row's own #3730 note already scoped away from,
arriving by the other door: not an unrelated branch that misses the surface,
but a catalog-wide sweep that touches all of it. A path now counts as phase
work only when its diff says something other than the coverage contract, and
the two accepted directive forms are read from
`scripts/lint-response-language-coverage.cjs` rather than restated, so a
reworded contract cannot leave the carve-out matching prose the lint no longer
recognizes. A file the branch ADDED still counts — every line is new, which is
what a real #3676-phase branch looks like.

The invariant is unweakened in the direction that matters: a phase branch that
edits `commands/gsd/quick.md`, `gsd-core/workflows/quick.md` or anything under
`quick/steps/` for any reason other than the directive still fails the row.

fb2d122d7f feat(#3841): assert gsd-tools identity on every state-mutating verb (#3848)
* feat(#3841): assert gsd-tools identity before any state-mutating verb

only this package publishes. The path-based branches — a project-local install,
a runtime config directory — had no such guarantee; they trusted their
configured location. This closes them.

Mechanism: once resolution finishes, and before any verb runs, the preamble
probes the tool it picked with `runtime-identity --raw` and matches the answer
with a shell `case` pattern ANCHORED to the start of the compact payload
(`{"packageName":"@opengsd/gsd-core"`). An unanchored substring match accepts
the decoy `{"packageName":"get-shit-done-cc","note":"@opengsd/gsd-core"}`, which
any colliding package could publish. The outcome is exported as the two-valued
`GSD_IDENTITY_STATUS` (`ok`/`unverified`), so the gate is asserted on a VALUE
rather than on warning prose. Rollout is warn-then-fail per the #3146 ruling:
`unverified` prints one line naming BOTH causes and continues, because
`no_identity_verb` cannot tell a foreign package from an `@opengsd/gsd-core`
older than the verb, and at rollout the old-version case is the common one.

The blocker was byte budget, not design. The preamble is inlined into 112
shipped files and several sat within single-digit bytes of frozen ceilings
(`gsd-verifier.md` 16 bytes, `gsd-executor.md` 33, `execute-phase.md` 234); a
first attempt broke five of them. What made room was collapsing the resolver's
twenty near-identical `elif [ -f … ]` arms into one candidate-list helper
(`_gsd_at`), which buys far more than the assertion costs. The preamble is now
2,624 bytes against 4,500 — a net 1,876 bytes SMALLER per inlined file, so every
capped file moved away from its ceiling rather than toward it. No cap raised, no
size-budget exception added, no override token emitted.

Resolution order, every runtime-home probe, the `unset -f gsd_run` re-source
fix, the fail-closed `exit 1`, and the `CLAUDE_ENV_FILE` persistence are all
preserved byte-for-byte in substring terms; the snippet still begins with
`_GSD_SHIM_NAME=` and still ends with `fi`, which the parity extractors anchor
on. `gsd-core/references/gsd-run-resolver.md` is re-synced byte-equal.

Also fixes two stale claims found in passing: CONTEXT.md and FEATURES.md both
described an `[ -x ]` guard as the load-bearing re-source defense. That guard
was tried and REMOVED in #3831 — it rejected the bare function name, fell
through every branch, and hit `exit 1`, which kills a sourced caller's shell.
`unset -f gsd_run` is the actual mechanism.

Refs #3841

* fix(#3841): pair the anchor's brace by requiring a closed identity payload

The matrix went red on `tests/new-project-mvp-prompt.test.cjs` — "new-project.md
has unbalanced braces: net depth 2" — plus a knock-on report from its parent
`bug #1516` describe, which is the same failure counted once at the child and
once at the block.

Root cause: that guard (:182-189, mirroring #3784 bd53925f) walks characters and
increments on `{`, decrements on `}`, with no awareness of shell quoting. It
scans `new-project.md` PLUS every `new-project/steps/*.md`, and both
`new-project.md` and `steps/auto-mode-config.md` carry one inlined preamble copy
— hence net 2 from a snippet that was off by exactly one. The unpaired brace was
the `{` inside the single-quoted `case` pattern of the identity anchor, which is
correct shell and invisible to a text scanner.

Fix in the snippet, not the guard. The pattern now anchors at BOTH ends:
`'{"packageName":"@opengsd/gsd-core"'*'}'`. That balances 51/51 with a brace that
does real work rather than a cosmetic pair — a truncated payload whose prefix
matches now fails too, where before it verified. Safe for any future additive
field: a JSON object's own closing brace is always the last character, whatever
type the last value has, which is pinned by two negative-space tests (a nested
object and an array-valued last key must both still verify). Cost: +3 bytes,
against the 1,873 the resolver fold already gave back.

The alternative considered and rejected was dropping the literal `{` for a `?`
glob. It balances too, but weakens the anchor from "must be an opening brace" to
"must be any one character", and the anchor is the entire point.

Two guards added so this cannot recur silently:
- runtime-launcher-parity (F0) pins brace balance at the SNIPPET, so the next
  edit to that pattern fails on the file it broke instead of surfacing three
  files downstream in a test whose name mentions neither the launcher nor this
  issue. It also asserts depth never goes negative, since a `}` preceding its
  `{` nets to zero while being unbalanced at every prefix.
- runtime-identity gains behavioral truncated-payload and trailing-garbage
  fixtures, so the added `}` is proven load-bearing rather than merely present.

Verified: snippet 51/51 braces; new-project combined net depth 0; the seven
other preamble-bearing files with nonzero depth are unchanged from merged next
(their own prose, not the preamble, and not in any guard's scan set); all 112
inlined copies and the resolver reference re-synced byte-equal; sync:launcher
idempotent on the second run.

63abcface9 feat(#3146): resolve gsd_run so workflows cannot reach a foreign gsd-tools (#3831)
* feat(#3146): resolve gsd_run so workflows cannot reach a foreign gsd-tools

The predecessor package get-shit-done-cc publishes a colliding gsd-tools bin whose phases.clear DELETES where this package's ARCHIVES, and both print success-shaped output against a gitignored .planning/ -- which is how #3129 cost a user 43 phase directories with no error and nothing recoverable from git.

The launcher's PATH branch now resolves gsd_run, published only by this package and self-locating via its own symlink chain to the sibling shim, instead of the colliding gsd-tools. A foreign handler becomes unreachable from PATH, and when no gsd_run is reachable the resolver fails closed rather than falling back -- that fallback was the vulnerability. This is smaller than the branch it replaces, which matters: the preamble is inlined into 113 shipped files and agents/gsd-verifier.md sits 2 bytes under a red-line size cap.

unset -f gsd_run leads the preamble so a re-source is idempotent. Without it, command -v finds the shell function, returns a bare name, and the resolver falls through to an exit 1 that kills a sourced caller's shell.

Adds gsd-tools runtime-identity, a manual diagnostic reporting this runtime's package coordinates over the baked package-identity (#498) and readHostVersion, with a strict total classifier: only a JSON object with an exact packageName verifies, since JSON.parse admits 0/"str"/[]/null/true.

An inlined identity assertion was built and reviewed first, then withdrawn -- it breaks five frozen size ceilings and no assertion fits in 2 bytes.

Closes #3146

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

* fix(#3146): stop sync:launcher relocating a deliberate preamble placement

Pre-existing defect, surfaced by this PR because sync is a no-op unless the snippet content actually changes. transformFile inserts the preamble into the first block that CALLS gsd_run, but gsd-core/workflows/explore.md deliberately places it in a bootstrap-only block that DEFINES gsd_run without calling it -- its own comment explains why: declining the research offer must not leave Step 5's commit call unbootstrapped. Stripping empties that block of calls, so the preamble migrated forward and broke the define-before-use invariant tests/explore-command.test.cjs pins.

Reproduced on a pristine origin/next checkout with the base snippet and base file, so this was not introduced here. The insertion target now honours a block that already carried the preamble, falling back to the first calling block for files that have none yet. Adds a behavioral regression test over a two-block fixture.

Also updates three runtime-launcher-parity tests that pinned the removed PATH fallback to gsd-tools. Their intent is preserved -- the PATH stub is renamed gsd_run so it is reachable by the new resolver, and the RUNTIME_DIR-wins test still asserts the stub is never invoked. Fixture shebangs move to an absolute /bin/sh, because the fixture PATH is deliberately restricted and #!/usr/bin/env sh could not resolve.

* docs(#3146): document the FEATURES.md section-numbering practice

The monotonically increasing section number in docs/FEATURES.md is the most frequent merge-conflict source in this repo, and it has TWO conflict cells, not one: the ### N. heading and the hand-maintained table of contents. Two PRs adding differently numbered features still collide on the TOC, so renumbering alone does not make a branch safe. This branch alone was renumbered 165 -> 166 -> 167 -> 168 across successive rebases.

Adds a CONTRIBUTING section stating the practice: allocate the number last, never pre-emptively renumber, take max+1 after a rebase and update the TOC in the same commit, and never renumber someone else's section. Fork contributors are told explicitly they may leave the number to a maintainer at merge rather than chasing the counter. Agents are told to lease the allocation and to include the file in their published touched set.

Records the durable fix as planned rather than pretending it exists: FEATURES.md should be generated from per-feature fragments the way CHANGELOG.md is generated from .changeset/, and the way tests/emitted-drift-acks/ works (#2914).

Also renumbers this branch's own section to 168, leaving 167 to the PR already in flight.

cf15682d1c enhance(#3028): responsive Markdown separators instead of fixed-width rules (#3789)
* feat(#3028): responsive Markdown separators instead of fixed-width rules

Stage banners, checkpoints, completion and error panels used fixed-width
runs of box-drawing characters -- a 53-column heavy rule and a 62-column
double-line box. Those runs are ordinary text to a Markdown-rendering
host, so in a narrower pane they wrap and the border comes apart from
the heading it framed.

Shipped content now emits an ATX heading for a titled section and a
blank-line-delimited --- for a break between sections, both of which
adapt to the available width. The same convention is applied to the
three code sites that built these strings at runtime: the UAT
checkpoint renderer, the milestone-close audit report, and the TDD
review checkpoint table.

Removing the box also removes its only reason to exist -- the
east-asian-width padding helpers that kept its right border aligned
(checkpointBoxLine, displayWidth, isWideCodePoint, ZERO_WIDTH_MARK_RE,
CHECKPOINT_BOX_WIDTH). RTL directional isolation is unchanged.

The convention is specified in gsd-core/references/ui-brand.md and
enforced across all shipped content by tests/responsive-separators.test.cjs.

Refs #3028

* test(#3028): pin the heading form in checkpoint and audit-report assertions

These suites asserted the exact box borders and the 62-column padded
banner interior. With the box gone they assert the ### heading form,
the --- break and the bolded instruction line, and each now carries a
positive assertion that no box character remains -- which is what pins
the fix rather than merely tolerating it.

Language coverage is converted, not dropped: Japanese, Chinese, Korean,
Hindi and Arabic all still assert their rendered banner, and the Arabic
case still asserts the RTL directional isolates the box removal must
not disturb. Adds a case for a banner longer than the old inner width,
which previously produced a ragged border and now has none.

Refs #3028

* chore(#3028): acknowledge execute-plan.md growth from the checkpoint display spec

The checkpoint_protocol display spec described the drawn box; it now
describes the heading, the --- break and the bolded action prompt,
which costs 22 bytes (40111 -> 40133, 827 under the cap).

Appended to the existing #3370 fragment rather than filed as a new one:
a growth ack keys on the bare filename and #3370 already declares
execute-plan.md, so a second source naming it would be a hard
duplicate-key error. Same supersede-by-append route #3370 took for the
spent #2652 fragment.

Refs #3028

* docs(#3028): state the load-bearing half of the separator rule, and amend the zh-CN reference

Review found three things.

The rule as first written demanded a blank line above AND below every
---. Only the one above is load-bearing: it is what stops CommonMark
reading the rule as a setext underline for the line above. The one below
is cosmetic, because a thematic break is a leaf block. The rule now says
that, with the reason, instead of asserting a stricter form the content
does not keep.

The zh-CN reference had received the mechanical box-to-heading swap but
none of the prose behind it: it still claimed a 62-character checkpoint
width and still listed --- among forbidden mixed banner styles, so it
contradicted the convention it was translating. It now carries the
separator section, the setext reasoning, the unconditional-vs-per-runtime
rationale and a corrected anti-pattern list, in Chinese.

The user guide asserted that a heading is not a degradation anywhere.
That is an assertion, not a demonstration. It now says what was actually
traded away in a plain terminal, points at the recorded rationale, and
invites the report that would justify the capability flag instead.

2076d450d7 fix(#2652): gate quick/diagnose dispatch on dispatch.isolation, not the runtime name (#2728)
* fix(#2652): gate quick/diagnose dispatch on dispatch.isolation, not runtime name

quick.md and diagnose-issues.md kept the pre-#2584 `RUNTIME != "claude"`
worktree gate, so every non-Claude runtime failed closed regardless of the
capability it negotiated — including Codex, which declares
orchestrator-worktree. Route both through the negotiated dispatch.isolation
seam via a new shared reference, and migrate the two execute-phase reference
fragments that carried the same runtime-name gate.

- new gsd-core/references/dispatch-isolation-gate.md: canonical ISOLATION
  resolution, harness-flag resolution, single-agent degrade rule
- quick.md / diagnose-issues.md read the gate; dispatch uses the {harnessFlag}
  placeholder rather than a hardcoded isolation="worktree"
- execute-phase-wave-guard.md / execute-phase-between-wave-reset.md: migrate
  [ "$RUNTIME" = "claude" ] -> [ "$ISOLATION" = "harness-worktree" ]
- every degrade site now clears BOTH USE_WORKTREES and ISOLATION; clearing one
  dispatched an isolated agent with no base guard and no manifest
- parity guard in host-integration.test.cjs scans workflows AND references and
  matches six reintroduction shapes
- migrate four tests that pinned the pre-#2584 runtime-name contract

* test(#2652): restore the size-growth acknowledgment

The rebase dropped tests/emitted-drift-ack.json. #2757/#2758 fixed the
ATTRIBUTION axis, but the SIZE-GROWTH axis is independent: diagnose-issues.md
(+2086) and quick.md (+230) still need an ack naming them and saying why.

Verified: 65/66 without it (both files named), 66/66 with it.

* fix(#2652): convert execute-plan.md Pattern A onto the dispatch-isolation gate

Pattern A hardcoded `isolation="worktree"` — Claude Code's own literal —
gated only on `workflow.use_worktrees`, with no capability negotiation at
all. It is the same defect #2652 fixes at the other four sites, just a
different shape: the file contains no RUNTIME variable, so the new detector
correctly does not flag it.

Concrete break: a Codex user who follows this PR's own newly-documented
pattern and sets `workflow.use_worktrees: true` to get isolated dispatch via
/gsd:quick then runs a plan through /gsd-execute-plan Pattern A, and hits an
unconverted path — either an Agent() call erroring on an unrecognized
parameter or silent unisolated execution, depending on host tolerance.

Pattern A is a single-agent dispatch site through the host's own subagent
tool, so it takes the same treatment as quick.md and diagnose-issues.md:
resolve ISOLATION/HARNESS_FLAG through the canonical reference, degrade to
sequential on orchestrator-worktree hosts, and substitute the host's declared
{harnessFlag} instead of Claude Code's literal.

while the area was open.

* docs(#2652): add the INVENTORY row for dispatch-isolation-gate.md, refresh CONTEXT

Two bookkeeping gaps flagged in review:

INVENTORY.md had no row for the new gsd-core/references/dispatch-isolation-gate.md.
INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json was regenerated correctly and its --check only diffs a
live directory scan against the committed manifest, so CI passed regardless —
but gen-inventory-manifest.cjs's own stderr guidance says to add the matching
INVENTORY.md row. This is the repo's named "Inventory Drift" pattern. Placed
with the dispatch/isolation cluster (worktree-branch-check, runtime-aware-dispatch)
rather than alphabetically, matching how that table is grouped.

CONTEXT.md's Host-Integration Interface entry still described dispatch.isolation
as "declared and negotiated but not yet consumed by any scheduler — Phase 1 of
#2584". That was already stale before this PR (execute-phase graduated in Phase 3)
and more so now with three single-agent dispatch sites consuming it.

* test(#2652): detect reversed-operand runtime gates; add a permutation property

All five reintroduction regexes assumed $RUNTIME on the LEFT of the
comparison, so `[ "claude" != "$RUNTIME" ]` — the same gate written
backwards — evaded every one of them. Verified against the old patterns
before fixing: all four reversed shapes (single bracket, double bracket,
test builtin, JS template) scored EVADED.

Each comparison shape is now generated in both operand orders from a single
template, so a shape cannot be added in one order and forgotten in the other.
The mutation table gains the four reversed cases.

Also adds the fast-check property review suggested in place of the hand-rolled
cases: it generates the cross product of the axes an author actually varies —
bracket form, operator, operand order, quoting, spacing, runtime id — so a
permutation the hand-written patterns miss surfaces here rather than in
production. The 11 explicit cases stay as named regression anchors.

execute-plan.md joins the scan's required-identities list now that it is a
converted dispatch site.

* test(#2652): repin the execute-plan.md PROSE_ALLOWLIST line after the rebase

The #2751 command-position gate pins its prose exemptions by line number.
This branch inserts the dispatch-isolation resolution above the
`validated downstream by gsd-tools uat classify-coverage` sentence, moving
it from execute-plan.md:387 to :397 — which fired the gate twice for one
displacement (an un-allowlisted mention at 397, a stale entry at 387).
The prose itself is unchanged from next; only the pin moves.

Fixes #2652

* fix(#2652): gate the #2649 base-check on ISOLATION in diagnose-issues.md

The rebase onto next merged #2649's pre-dispatch base-check textually, but
its degrade flipped USE_WORKTREES after ISOLATION was already resolved, so
the degrade never reached the dispatch decision. Gate the block on
ISOLATION = "harness-worktree" and degrade ISOLATION itself, the same
pairing quick.md already uses.

* fix(#2652): key quick.md post-dispatch bookkeeping on ISOLATION, not the Claude literal

Review Blocker: the manifest append (l.822), worktree merge-back (l.825), and
its skip clause (l.839) all conditioned on the literal isolation="worktree" —
Claude Code's own rendering of {harnessFlag}. Cursor renders --worktree, so a
newly-unblocked isolated Cursor run created a worktree whose committed work
was never merged back and never cleaned up, silently. All three now key on
ISOLATION = "harness-worktree" at dispatch.

The existing parity detector cannot catch this class (its ISOLATION_TOKEN
treats the literal as a legitimate marker), so this adds a dedicated
literal-condition detector with a discrimination proof against both pre-fix
sentences, a benign-mention control, and a positive pin on all three
re-keyed conditions. Verified fail-first against the pre-fix quick.md.

* fix(#2652): scope the use_worktrees=false install stamp to isolation=none runtimes

`_stampNonClaudeRuntimeDefaults` rewrote every non-Claude runtime's
`workflow.use_worktrees` read to `--default false`. That default resolved
before `gsd_run query dispatch-isolation` was ever consulted, so the five
runtimes that declare worktree support — cursor (harness-worktree) and
codex/opencode/kimi/kimi-code (orchestrator-worktree) — got ISOLATION=none
regardless of what they negotiated. The gate this PR migrates dispatch onto
was therefore still deciding isolation by runtime name, one layer down.

The stamp's #1521 premise was that worktree isolation *was* Claude Code's
isolation="worktree" spawn parameter, which no other host honored. #2584
replaced that premise with the negotiated capability. The stamp is now scoped
to runtimes whose negotiated isolation really is `none`, where the default it
writes is the outcome the resolver reaches anyway.

`_negotiatedDispatchIsolation` mirrors routeDispatchIsolation's resolution
against the same registry — closed vocabulary, a harness-worktree host must
declare its flag, an orchestrator-worktree host must carry a descriptor that
resolves — and fails closed to `none` on anything else, so an undeclared or
unknown runtime keeps today's behavior.

Two #1515 tests pinned the superseded premise for codex and are re-pointed at
the new contract rather than deleted: the safety property they protect is now
held by the isolation gate's fail-closed resolution, not by a name-scoped
install-time default. Verified fail-first — all five assertions red against
the pre-fix source, green after.

* test(#2652): acknowledge the emitted ripple and re-point the end-to-end stamp proof

Scoping the use_worktrees stamp changes emitted output, and two gates caught it.

`gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase.md` now differs at emit time for the five
hosts that declare worktree support (cursor harness-worktree; codex, opencode,
kimi, kimi-code orchestrator-worktree) — the source file is byte-identical, only
the stamp is gone. Acknowledged in this PR's fragment.

`tests/install.test.cjs`'s real-install assertion pinned the superseded premise
end-to-end, asserting codex receives `--default false`. Re-pointed rather than
deleted, matching the two unit tests: it now proves codex keeps the unstamped
`true` read. A second arm installs windsurf — which declares isolation `none` —
and asserts the false stamp is still applied there, so the change cannot
silently degrade into "never stamp" without a test noticing.

The ack entry collides with `2658-trae-instruction-file-path.json`, which is
fully spent (merged via #2925, so all 25 of its entries are present at base and
gate nothing) and is pruned for the same reason and by the same rule as the
spent `2649-*` fragment this PR already removed. #2566 prunes the same file for
the same collision on `new-project.md`; a delete/delete merges cleanly either
way, and the base-side cleanup would make both unnecessary.

* fix(#2652): re-record the sentinel when a dispatch site degrades isolation

Review Blocker B1/B2/B3. Every isolation degrade in a dispatch site is decided
in shell, where routeDispatchIsolation cannot see it. That resolver persists
whatever it resolved to the run-scoped sentinel as an unconditional side effect
(#3045), so a degrade that only reassigns $ISOLATION leaves the sentinel
asserting harness-worktree while the dispatch correctly omits the harness flag.
The shipped PreToolUse guard reads the sentinel at the instant of the Agent()
call and denies that mismatch with exit 2 — the work does not run unisolated,
it does not run at all. Latent on this branch and lands on rebase, since
8f75e275 (#3045) is not yet in the merge-base.

Four sites now push the final shell-computed value through the same single
write path with --force-isolation, matching the idiom #3045 established in
executor-isolation-dispatch.md:

  - quick.md, after the #1941 base-check degrade
  - diagnose-issues.md, after the config-gate degrades and after #2649's
  - execute-plan.md Pattern A, before spawning
  - references/dispatch-isolation-gate.md, both degrade paths, plus a new
    "Re-record after every degrade" section — the canonical file taught the
    defect, so fixing only the call sites would leave the source of truth wrong

Tests assert the RECORDED value, not $ISOLATION. Asserting the local variable
is what let this class through: $ISOLATION was already `none` at every site and
the defect was entirely in what reached the sentinel. Each workflow's own
degrade block is executed under a gsd_run stub that captures the write, with a
fail-first proof that the pre-fix shape records nothing (while $ISOLATION reads
`none` in both), plus a coverage guard so a new degrade site cannot skip it.

Also corrects the drift-ack rationale (review Minor 5): @-references are
eagerly inlined, so extracting the gate does not reduce loaded context. The
reason to extract is single-sourcing across five dispatch sites.

* fix(#2652): restore next's 2658 ack fragment, minus the one colliding key

trek-e (PR #2728, 2026-08-07): the branch deleted
tests/emitted-drift-acks/2658-trae-instruction-file-path.json wholesale
while next had modified it. That was correct against the 08-03 base, where
the fragment was fully spent; it is wrong against next @ 1d208e5a, which
still carries 23 live entries.

next's copy is restored byte-identical except for the single key that
genuinely collides with this PR's own fragment,
gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase.md. Both acks name that path for
different deltas -- 2658's is the trae CLAUDE.md replacement-target
rewrite, ours is the emit-time _stampNonClaudeRuntimeDefaults ripple from
review round 3. Per the ack-lifecycle law (#2789), an entry already at the
base is spent and inert, so this PR's entry is the live one and 2658's is
dropped.

This follows the guidance given on #2566 in the 08-06 round: "Regenerate
rather than delete -- the collision is one entry."

Verified: lint-emitted-drift-ack ok (0 problems, 357 keys, no cross-source
duplicates); emitted-attribution 170/170 with GSD_EMITTED_BASE=upstream/next;
host-integration 222/222; runtime-converters 130/130.

* fix(#2652): bound the degrade-harness spawn and close the round-6 majors

B1 (CI red, ours): tests/host-integration.test.cjs spawned bash with no
timeout, violating local/no-unbounded-spawn. `next` deleted the allowlist
outright (#3148), so the merge-commit run flags it even though this branch
still carries the file's grandfathered entry. Bounded at 15s, with a named
failure on timeout/signal rather than an opaque `exited null`.

M1: add a parity test between `_negotiatedDispatchIsolation` (install time)
and `routeDispatchIsolation` (dispatch time). Both read the same capability
registry and the same `resolveOrchestratorExec`, but duplicate the DECISION
on top of them across two surfaces with no call edge between them, so neither
symbol appears in the other's impact graph and nothing static can catch them
drifting apart. The resolver leg drives the real gsd-tools CLI per registered
runtime, both ways it is really called: with `--cwd-target` (the executor
spawn, which resolves the orchestrator descriptor — the same question install
time asks) and without it (the `Resolve ISOLATION` call every dispatch site
makes first, which does not). The second leg is what catches an orchestrator
host whose descriptor stops resolving: the install would stamp
`use_worktrees=false` while the workflow gate still reported
`orchestrator-worktree`.

M2: add install-level Cursor coverage. A real `--cursor` install, then the
gate blocks that install emitted, run against the gsd-tools that install
emitted, with the runtime declared through `.planning/config.json` — the tier
`resolveRuntime` actually reads — and any ambient GSD_RUNTIME blanked, so the
install has to reach the right resolver on its own. It then performs the
documented `{harnessFlag}` substitution against the `Agent()` call that
install emitted and asserts on the rendered dispatch: exactly one emitted
Agent() call carries the slot, it is the gsd-executor / gsd-debugger dispatch
rather than some other call in the same file, and rendering it yields
`--worktree` with no residual placeholder and no `isolation="worktree"`.
This is artifact-level — it proves the emitted wiring, not a live Cursor
host invocation. Asserting the shell variable alone would have stayed green
if the placeholder were deleted from the emitted dispatch, or drifted onto
the reviewer call beside it.

M3: diagnose-issues.md inlined a reordered copy of the reference this PR
introduces as the single source of truth. It now reads the reference the
same way quick.md and execute-plan.md do; the drift-ack entry is corrected
to describe what the file actually contains, and to name the four files that
reference the gate rather than claiming five.

M4: CONTEXT.md still called `resolveOrchestratorExec` UNCONSUMED in the same
paragraph this PR edits. It has been consumed since #2584 Phase 3 — routed
through `query dispatch-isolation --json` and process-spawned by
executor-isolation-dispatch.md — and #2652 adds a second consumer.

Every new assertion verified fail-first against a real mutation: cursor's
negotiated isolation (breaks the target-bound parity leg), the no-target
orchestrator branch in routeDispatchIsolation (breaks the gate parity leg),
cursor's harnessIsolationFlag (breaks the resolved value), deleting
`{harnessFlag}` from quick.md's emitted Agent() call (breaks the slot), and
moving it onto the code-reviewer dispatch (breaks the wrong-call guard).

Refs #2652

* fix(#2652): serialize unisolated diagnosis, scope the execute-plan gate to dispatching patterns

Round-7 review findings (independent cross-AI pass over the whole PR against
the current base).

BLOCKER — diagnose-issues.md announced sequential mode and then fanned out.
The `orchestrator-worktree` degrade sets ISOLATION=none and prints "debug
agents run sequentially on the main working tree", but the spawn step still
said "All agents spawn in single message (parallel execution)". On Codex,
OpenCode and Kimi that dispatched N unisolated debuggers concurrently against
the primary checkout — the exact outcome the degrade exists to prevent, and
reachable only because this PR removed the FATAL that used to stop those
hosts earlier. Fan-out is now keyed on ISOLATION: parallel only when each
agent has its own worktree, one at a time otherwise.

BLOCKER — execute-plan.md Pattern B could not dispatch at all on Claude or
Cursor. The gate recorded `harness-worktree` to the #3045 sentinel, but only
Pattern A carries `{harnessFlag}`; Pattern B's segment executors carry none,
and `hooks/gsd-agent-isolation-guard.js` blocks precisely that mismatch with
exit 2. Segments are unisolated BY DESIGN — each continues on the working
tree the previous one left behind, so per-agent worktrees would break the
sequence — so Pattern B now records `none` before its first dispatch and
dispatches without the flag.

MAJOR — the same gate ran before routing was chosen, so an isolation-`none`
host with `use_worktrees=true` hit the fail-closed FATAL even when routing
would have selected Pattern C, which is fully inline and dispatches nothing.
Resolution now happens after the pattern is known, and Pattern C skips it.

MAJOR — tests/host-integration.test.cjs fed `fs.readFileSync` output straight
to bash. The `\r?\n` fence regex guards only the delimiter, leaving embedded
CR on every line of the captured body — DEFECT.WINDOWS-CRLF-TEST-PORTABILITY,
which helpers.cjs documents by name. Now reads through `readFileNormalized`.

MAJOR — the "every dispatch-site degrade block re-records" test hand-listed
three files, so its name was a claim its scan could not support. The scan is
now derived from the workflow/reference tree (SCAN_ROOTS/collectMarkdown
hoisted to module scope so there is one definition, not two). Verified
fail-first against execute-plan.md — a file the previous scan never opened.
The two wave fragments are exempt because they delegate the re-record to
per-plan-worktree-gate.md via USE_WORKTREES_FOR_PLAN; that delegation is now
ASSERTED, so deleting the delegate fails this test instead of widening a hole
silently.

MINOR — the changeset claimed the FATAL was gone for "non-Claude runtimes"
full stop. Narrowed: isolation-`none` hosts still fail closed when worktrees
are explicitly enabled, which is the contract rather than the defect.

Two further findings were investigated and rejected, with evidence:
- Raw `spawnSync` vs `tests/helpers/process-seam.cjs`: the seam exposes
  runNode/runGit/runHook and cannot express the `bash -c` harness these tests
  need; `installAndRead` in this same file is byte-identical to the base and
  still uses raw spawnSync with an explicit timeout, which is the form the
  lint sanctions. Migrating only the new call sites would split the file's
  convention for no safety gain.
- `pending-migration-to-typed-ir` on the runtime-converters parity test: the
  annotation and the rendered-text loop both exist at the merge-base under
  #3090. This PR extends an already-tracked test rather than adding a new one
  under a category CONTRIBUTING closes to new tests.

Refs #2652

* test(#2652): re-point the execute-plan prose allowlist at its shifted line

`PROSE_ALLOWLIST` in tests/no-bare-gsd-tools-command-position.test.cjs keys
entries by LINE NUMBER. The previous commit added the post-routing isolation
block to execute-plan.md, which pushed the `validated downstream by
gsd-tools uat classify-coverage` prose mention from line 397 to 414. That
broke the guard in both directions at once: the entry at 397 went stale, and
the real mention at 414 became an unallowlisted offender.

Caught by CI (7 red jobs, all shard 3/3 plus ubuntu-22) rather than locally,
because I verified only the suites I believed the change touched. Any edit to
a workflow .md shifts line numbers, and this repo carries line-keyed
allowlists — so a workflow edit needs the full suite, not a subset.

Refs #2652

* test(#2652): route the new subprocesses through the process seam

Retracting a rejection I made on the record. In the round-6 response I
argued these call sites could keep a hand-rolled `spawnSync` because the
seam exposes only runNode/runGit/runHook and cannot express `bash -c`, and
because `installAndRead` in the same file uses that shape. The first half
was true and irrelevant, the second half is not a licence: CONTRIBUTING is
unambiguous — "Anything that shells out goes through
tests/helpers/process-seam.cjs — never a hand-rolled spawnSync/execFileSync
in your suite", and "Never use try/finally inside test bodies."

`runHook` already documents `interpreter: 'bash'` for running a shell
script, so writing the harness to a file complies without extending the
seam. I had the rule and the seam's own documentation in front of me and
reasoned around both.

Converted:
- host-integration.test.cjs degrade harness: spawnSync('bash', ['-c', …])
  → runHook(scriptFile, [], { interpreter: 'bash' }).
- install.test.cjs cursor gate: `which bash` probe → process.platform;
  the installer spawn → runNode(…, { env: installSpawnEnv({HOME,
  USERPROFILE}) }), which also blanks ambient GSD_HOME/runtime-location
  vars that could otherwise make capability discovery host-dependent;
  the emitted-gate spawn → runHook(gateScript, [], { interpreter: 'bash' }).
- Three try/finally test bodies → t.after().

Class-norm timeouts: tests/helpers/timeouts.cjs arrived with this branch's
latest base merge, so the literals written earlier (15000/120000/60000) now
duplicate PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS and INSTALL_TIMEOUT_MS. Imported instead — that
module exists because INSTALL_TIMEOUT_MS had already drifted 60s→120s once
after a real bench ETIMEDOUT.

Deliberately NOT converted: `installAndRead`'s spawnSync, which is
byte-identical to the merge-base and predates this PR — converting shared
scaffolding is an unrelated change.

Verified equivalent, not assumed: argv/cwd/env/encoding/timeout and every
assertion are preserved; t.after() still cleans up on the assertion-failure
path the try/finally covered; and the cursor test still resolves Cursor
under a hostile ambient GSD_RUNTIME=claude.

Refs #2652

* fix(#2652): replace the falsified use_worktrees doc row; distinguish an unresolvable gate from a declared none

Round-8 review findings.

BLOCKER — docs/CONFIGURATION.md's `Non-Claude note` asserted three things
this PR overturns: that worktree isolation "no other runtime honors"
(Cursor declares harness-worktree with `--worktree`, and this PR's own
install test asserts that flag reaching the emitted Agent() slot), that
non-Claude installs default the key to `false`, and that forcing `true`
always fails closed. Replaced with the capability-based description, and
the `#1515, #1521` citation dropped — those are the two issues whose
premise this PR removes.

The reviewer flagged that the fix is merge-order dependent, because #2531
rewrites the same row and its replacement text is written in anticipation
of this PR landing. Rather than pick an order, BOTH sides are now
order-independent: #2531's "Current default … until #2652" paragraph
becomes a plain troubleshooting note, and this row states the capability
rule without asserting a stamp state. Whichever merges first, the row is
correct; the second merge is a textual conflict at worst.

MINOR — the gate reported a capability verdict the tool never returned.
`ISOLATION=$(… || echo "none")` made a shim-resolution failure, a non-zero
exit and an empty stdout indistinguishable from a declared `none`, so a
transient query failure aborted /gsd:quick on Claude Code with "runtime
'claude' declares no executor-isolation primitive" — false. The gate now
tracks ISOLATION_RESOLVED separately: both paths still fail closed, but only
a real verdict claims the host declares nothing; the unresolved branch says
it could not resolve and points at the shim. Fixed in the canonical
reference so every dispatch site inherits it.

MINOR — quick.md:527 cited #2649 for its own degrade; that is #1941, and
#2649 is the diagnose-issues/execute-plan gate. Corrected, and the
distinction stated so the next reader does not chase it.

MINOR — quick.md:413 (manifest init) and :429 (worktree_branch_check embed)
still branched on USE_WORKTREES while dispatch, manifest-append, merge-back
and the skip clause had all moved to ISOLATION. Safe only by coincidence —
both now key on ISOLATION.

MINOR — the diff removes a second drift-ack entry (the execute-phase.md key
from 2658-trae-instruction-file-path.json), forced by the same duplicate-key
lint rule as the 2649 removal. Disclosed in the PR comment; the earlier
disclosure covered only one of the two.

Verified: lint:ci green; 300/300 across host-integration,
fix-1941-quick-worktree-stale-base, execute-phase-wave and workflow-guard.

Refs #2652

* test(#2652): anchor the emitted-gate finder on the heading, not the assignment

`b89c3fbf` added a finder that located the gate's `Resolve ISOLATION` block by
the literal `ISOLATION=$(gsd_run query dispatch-isolation --raw`. `f3bccf21`
then split that assignment into `_ISOLATION_RAW`/`ISOLATION_RESOLVED` so a shim
failure stops masquerading as a declared `none` — and the finder stopped
matching. The test did not report the drift it exists to catch; it reported
"emitted dispatch-isolation-gate.md has no Resolve ISOLATION bash block" and
went red, and stayed red because the earlier full-suite run was read from a
truncated log.

Anchored on the heading instead. The workflows tell a dispatch site to run the
`Resolve ISOLATION` and `Resolve the harness flag` blocks BY NAME, so the
heading is the contract and the body is free to change under it.

Verified: 413/413 in tests/install.test.cjs. The test still bites — mutating the
gate's `ISOLATION="$_ISOLATION_RAW"` to `ISOLATION=none` turns it red (the
emitted gate then resolves cursor to none and exits 1 instead of printing
harness-worktree), and reverting restores green.

* fix(#2652): wire the canonical resolver at the one dispatch site that still inlined the old shape

Codex review of the whole PR on the new base found one Major, and it was real.

executor-isolation-dispatch.md declares references/dispatch-isolation-gate.md
canonical at line 10, then kept the OLDER resolver inline: `|| echo "none"`, no
ISOLATION_RESOLVED. So the one site that resolves isolation for the wave path
collapsed a shim failure into a declared `none` and aborted with "runtime
'$RUNTIME' declares no executor-isolation primitive" — false for a Claude or
Cursor user whose resolver merely failed to answer. Still fail-closed, so not an
unsafe-dispatch hole, but the correction this PR is about was unwired at the
site that matters most.

Replaced with the gate's exact shape: capture the raw value, track
ISOLATION_RESOLVED, and emit the "could not resolve" FATAL when no verdict was
learned.

Added a regression test in the #2652 dispatch-site parity suite: every file that
ASSIGNS from `gsd_run query dispatch-isolation --raw` must carry
ISOLATION_RESOLVED, must not use the collapsing form, and must have a distinct
unresolved message. Nothing covered this before — install.test.cjs checks the
emitted REFERENCE, not each site's own inline copy, which is exactly how the two
drifted apart.

The test's first draft also flagged quick.md, diagnose-issues.md and
execute-plan.md. That was a false positive worth recording: those three
@-reference the gate and only make `--force-isolation` re-record calls, which
carry no verdict. The predicate now matches an assignment from the resolver, not
any mention of it, so it flags sites that can actually be wrong.

Verified by mutation: restoring the collapsing line reds the new test.

Validated: lint:ci clean; full suite shows the same 7 known failures as the
pre-change baseline — #1160 _resolveManifest and the #3053 quick_id
host-timezone tests (both reproduce on pristine next @ 33fca50d), plus
helpers-cleanup "outside os.tmpdir()", which fails only in a worktree.

* test(#2652): close two vacuous-pass holes in the new inline-resolver guard

Codex cleared the push and flagged the guard test itself. Both holes were real.

SCAN_ROOTS already yields references/dispatch-isolation-gate.md, and the test
appended it a second time, so the candidate list was [executor, gate, gate] and
`length >= 2` was satisfiable by the gate alone. If the executor site had
dropped out of the predicate — the exact regression the test exists to catch —
it would still have passed. Paths are deduped and the assertion now pins the two
expected inliner identities instead of a count.

The collapse detector keyed on `ISOLATION=$(…)`, so `_ISOLATION_RAW=$(… || echo
"none")` restored the identical defect while satisfying every other assertion
(ISOLATION_RESOLVED still appears in the file). Codex mutation-probed exactly
that and it passed. The pattern now matches any assignment target and any
`|| … echo` tail. Verified: that mutation now reds the test.

Test-only change; the workflow bash is byte-identical to the commit the full
suite ran green against. lint:ci clean, host-integration 223/223.

f092c6da85 fix(#2649): diagnose-issues + execute-plan run worktree.base-check before worktree dispatch (#2955)
* test(#2649): failing-first — diagnose-issues + execute-plan must run base-check before worktree dispatch

* fix(#2649): diagnose-issues + execute-plan run worktree.base-check before dispatch

diagnose-issues.md spawn_agents and execute-plan.md Pattern A spawned
worktree-isolated subagents (gsd-debugger / gsd-executor) without the
pre-dispatch worktree.base-check gate that execute-phase (#683/#1369) and
quick (#1941) already run. Claude Code's isolation="worktree" forks from
origin/HEAD, not live local HEAD; without the gate, the documented GSD steady
state (commit every step locally, push only on request) hits the verify-only
worktree_branch_check guard's exit-42 halt mid-investigation with no auto-degrade.

Mirror the quick.md #1941 pattern: before dispatch, run
`gsd_run query worktree.base-check --pick shouldDegrade`; if true, print its
message + a #2649 warning to stderr and set USE_WORKTREES=false (sequential
main-tree dispatch). The verify-only guard stays as a backstop in both cases.

Per the triage and #2649 acceptance criterion 5, execute-plan.md's Pattern A
(identified as a second site with the identical gap) is fixed in the SAME change
— same bug class, same one-line gate, two workflow files — rather than filed as
a separate follow-up.

* fix(#2649): ack the diagnose-issues + execute-plan growth (per-PR fragment)

The two workflow files grew vs next (diagnose-issues.md +1381, execute-plan.md
+905) adding the #2649 base-check gate. emitted-attribution requires an ack;
this is a per-PR fragment under tests/emitted-drift-acks/ (#2914 mechanism,
replacing the legacy shared emitted-drift-ack.json).

* test(#2649): tighten base-check ordering assertion + guard backstop survival

Address code-review minors:
- the ordering assertion was a loose disjunction that passed even if the
  base-check moved AFTER the dispatch; tighten to assert base-check < Agent()
  (the real invariant).
- add a test that the verify-only <worktree_branch_check> backstop remains
  embedded in the Agent() prompt (acceptance criterion 4 — the base-check is a
  pre-dispatch degrade, the guard is a post-fork fail-closed backstop; both
  layers must survive).

* fix(#2376): emit absolute subagent-facing init/state paths

Make init.* and state.* path fields absolute rather than cwd-relative
so subagent prompts resolve correctly regardless of working directory.
Adds intel_dir/conflicts_path/requirements_path/roadmap_path/state_path
to cmdInitIngestDocs, an absolute debug_dir to cmdStateLoad, and
replaces bare .planning/... literals in 12 workflow Agent() prompt
blocks with the absolute init-JSON path fields. Includes decoy-cwd
regression tests and realpath'd tmpdir fixtures for macOS.

a62079b2da fix(#1865): runtime launcher honors CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR (#2024)
* fix(#1865): runtime launcher honors CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR

The gsd_run preamble resolved the Claude global install only at
$HOME/.claude/gsd-core/bin/, but the installer honors CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR —
so a global install redirected via CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR was invisible to every
gsd_run call (every command failed with 'gsd-tools.cjs not found').

The Claude resolver arm now uses ${CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR:-$HOME/.claude},
matching the installer + the other runtimes' ${VAR:-default} pattern.
Default $HOME/.claude behavior is unchanged.

- _runtime-launcher.snippet.sh: Claude arm honors CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR.
- sync-runtime-launcher.cjs re-run: 95 workflows/agents re-synced.
- review.md / discuss-phase.md: trimmed to stay under their byte budgets.
- runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs: (A) substring updated for the new form
  + explicit #1865 assertion that the snippet honors CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR.
- goldens + size baselines recaptured.

Closes #1865

2c718bf972 fix(#1521): resolve own runtime + worktrees-off for all non-Claude installs (#1537)
* fix(#1521): resolve own runtime + worktrees-off for all non-Claude installs

Generalizes the Codex-only #1515/#1519 fix to every non-Claude runtime, and
wires it into the real install path (where it was previously dead-on-arrival).

Root causes:
1. The runtime-default stamping lived only in `_applyRuntimeRewrites`, but the
   installer emits `gsd-core/workflows/*.md` via `copyWithPathReplacement`, which
   never calls it — so a real `--codex`/`--cursor`/etc. install emitted
   `--default claude` and worktrees-on. RUNTIME mis-resolved to claude and the
   workflow ran executors unisolated against the main checkout. (#1515/#1519 were
   also dead-on-arrival in real installs; this repairs them.)
2. Only `case 'codex'` was stamped; every other non-Claude runtime kept the
   Claude default.

Fix:
- New `_stampNonClaudeRuntimeDefaults(content, runtime)` (single shared helper)
  stamps `--default <runtime>` + `use_worktrees=false` for every `runtime !=
  claude`; called from both `_applyRuntimeRewrites` and, crucially,
  `copyWithPathReplacement` in bin/install.js (the real workflow emit path).
- Generalize the fail-closed worktree guard `= codex` -> `!= claude` in
  execute-phase/quick/diagnose-issues (worktree isolation is Claude-Code-only).
- Flip manager/autonomous inline-vs-background gating to `codex -> background,
  everything-else -> inline` (research: only Codex can background-nest the
  pipeline's subagents; all others run inline, which they support).

Worktree-capability determination is research-backed (official docs for all 14
non-Claude runtimes: none honor GSD's isolation="worktree" mechanism, only Codex
background-nests). New end-to-end real-install test asserts the EMITTED workflow
is stamped — the regression guard that would have caught the dead-on-arrival bug.

Closes #1521

2436b76980 fix(#1515): make Codex installs resolve their own runtime and fail closed on worktrees (#1519)
* fix(#1515): make Codex installs resolve their own runtime and fail closed on worktrees

A Codex install with a runtime-neutral .planning/config.json resolved
RUNTIME=claude and enabled git worktree isolation, which Codex's
spawn_agent cannot honor. Two root causes:

1. Workflows read `config-get runtime` / `config-get workflow.use_worktrees`
   without `--raw`, so config-get's JSON-quoted output ("codex") was captured
   verbatim into the bash var and broke every `[ "$RUNTIME" = ... ]` check —
   the Codex fail-closed guard was dead even when runtime:codex was explicit,
   and Claude's own worktree degrade-check was dead too. Add `--raw` to those
   reads across execute-phase, autonomous, manager, diagnose-issues, quick.

2. The conversion engine emitted `--default claude` for every runtime. Stamp
   the codex-emitted workflows to `--default codex` (runtime) and
   `--default false` (use_worktrees) in _applyRuntimeRewrites case 'codex', so
   a neutral config on a Codex install resolves runtime=codex / worktrees off.

Also extend the Codex fail-closed worktree guard to quick.md and
diagnose-issues.md (they spawned isolation="worktree" with no runtime guard).

Regression test asserts source<->engine parity across all five workflows
(DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX) plus fast-check property coverage of the stamping.

Closes #1515

7c07fce70f fix(#381): make gsd_run launcher reachable in fresh-shell-per-block runtimes (#1084)
* fix(#381): make gsd_run launcher reachable in fresh-shell-per-block runtimes

On runtimes that execute each fenced bash block in a separate shell process
(e.g. Claude Code — documented behavior: each Bash command is a separate
process; inline shell functions and exported vars do not persist between
calls), the once-per-file gsd_run() function was undefined in every block
after the preamble block, and the call was swallowed by
`2>/dev/null || echo "{}"` into silent empty state.

Fix (budget-neutral session-level resolution):
- Ship gsd-core/bin/gsd_run, a POSIX sh wrapper that symlink-resolves its own
  location and execs the co-located gsd-tools.cjs. Exposed on PATH via the npm
  `bin` field (global installs) and shipped to local installs via the recursive
  gsd-core/ copy.
- The per-file launcher preamble now appends `export PATH='<bindir>':"$PATH"`
  to the file named by $CLAUDE_ENV_FILE (Claude Code's documented
  env-persistence mechanism) so later fresh-shell blocks resolve gsd_run from
  PATH. Guarded as a strict no-op when CLAUDE_ENV_FILE is unset; the inline
  gsd_run() definition remains the fallback for all other runtimes. The
  single-quoted dir neutralizes shell metacharacters at source time.
- Propagated via scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs to all launcher-using files.
- XL workflow byte budget 93000 -> 93200 (the ~130B clause pushes plan-phase.md
  to 93135; legitimate content growth, ratchet-up per #717).

Regression tests (I)/(J) in runtime-launcher-parity.test.cjs cover wrapper
delegation and end-to-end PATH persistence (sourcing the env file with a
space-bearing install path).

Known limitation: an install path containing a literal single-quote yields a
malformed env-file line and falls back to the status quo (no regression);
rare on sanitized home directories.

* test(#381): scope test (J) bare-PATH execution to POSIX (Windows Git Bash exec bit)

Windows Git Bash (msys2) does not honor Node's chmod exec bit for
PATH-executing extension-less scripts, so the bare `gsd_run` command lookup
failed there even though the env-file PATH persistence was correct. The
env-file content assertions (the fix's actual cross-platform logic) still run
on every platform; only the final source-and-execute sub-step is gated to
non-win32. Global installs on Windows are covered by npm's generated bin shim.

a90c654745 fix(#891): probe non-Claude runtime homes in gsd-tools launcher shim detection (#911)
- Updated `gsd-core/workflows/_runtime-launcher.snippet.sh` with 15 new
  `elif` arms covering Hermes, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, Copilot, Windsurf,
  Augment, Trae, Qwen, CodeBuddy, Cline, Grok, Antigravity, OpenCode, and
  Kilo (respecting each runtime's env-var override with a `$HOME`-relative
  default).
- Re-ran `scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs` to propagate the expanded
  snippet into all `gsd-core/workflows/*.md` files (~70 files).
- Manually applied the same snippet update to `commands/gsd/import.md`
  (1 occurrence) and `commands/gsd/graphify.md` (5 occurrences) — these
  are not covered by the sync script.
- Updated `tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs` budgets (XL/LARGE/DEFAULT
  + discuss-phase target) to account for the ~3 KB snippet expansion.
- Added regression test `tests/bug-891-non-claude-runtime-home-fallback.test.cjs`
  (6 tests: structural probe presence, ordering, behavioral HERMES_HOME
  env-var + default-path stubs, resolution order, and workflow propagation).
- Added `.changeset/891-launcher-non-claude-runtime-homes.md` (Fixed).

463cffd894 chore(#604): rename get-shit-done/ runtime directory to gsd-core/ (#615)
* chore(#604): rename get-shit-done/ runtime directory to gsd-core/

Renames the installed runtime directory `get-shit-done/` to `gsd-core/` so the
on-disk name matches the package (`@opengsd/gsd-core`), repo, and binary
(`gsd-tools`). The npm package name and binary are unchanged; npx/npm consumers
are unaffected.

Mechanical (bulk, ~90% of the diff):
- `git mv get-shit-done gsd-core`
- Swept path/identifier references across the repo via
  `perl -pe 's/get-shit-done(?!-\w)/gsd-core/g'`. The negative lookahead
  preserves the five legitimate slug variants that are NOT the directory:
  get-shit-done-{OLD,cc,classic,cli,redux} (old package/repo names).
- Build/manifest wiring: package.json (bin, files, coverage globs),
  tsconfig.build.json (outDir), ~86 .gitignore build-output entries,
  stryker.config.mjs, scan-ignore files, install.js path strings.
- Frozen (not rewritten): CHANGELOG.md history; translated docs
  (README.<locale>.md and docs/{ja-JP,ko-KR,pt-BR,zh-CN}/).

New logic (review here):
- src/installer-migrations/003-rename-get-shit-done-to-gsd-core.cts: a proper
  ADR-0008 installer migration. On upgrade it walks the legacy
  `~/.claude/get-shit-done/` tree, classifies each file via the prior install
  manifest, and emits remove-managed / backup-and-remove for managed files
  while PRESERVING unknown user-added files. Symlink-safe (skips a symlinked
  root and symlinked entries; bounds-checks every path under configDir). The
  framework rolls back on install failure. Emptied dirs may remain (framework
  has no recursive dir-removal primitive) — documented.
- scripts/lint-legacy-dir-name.cjs: CI regression guard forbidding the bare
  `get-shit-done` directory token (split token to avoid self-match; case-
  insensitive; `(?!-\w)` lookahead allows the slug variants; allowlists
  CHANGELOG, translated docs, and `gsd-allow-legacy-name` marker lines).
  Wired into the lint-tests CI job.
- Restored scripts/lint-package-identity-drift.cjs detection regexes (the
  mechanical sweep had wrongly rewritten the old-name patterns it exists to
  detect) and marked them as intentional legacy references.
- TDD tests for the migration and the guard; do.md slash-command guard regex
  tightened so a `/gsd-core/bin` path segment is not mistaken for a command;
  changeset + docs/installer-migrations.md row added.

Breaking: the installed runtime path moves `~/.claude/get-shit-done/` ->
`~/.claude/gsd-core/`. Migration 003 removes the stale legacy dir's managed
files (preserving user files) on upgrade. Users with custom hooks/configs
hardcoding the old path must update them.

Closes #604

* fix(#604): unsweep pending changesets + allowlist injection-example docs

CI fixes for the rename PR:
- Do not sweep pending .changeset/*.md (ephemeral release-note fragments,
  like CHANGELOG); reverted those body edits so 5 pre-existing malformed
  fragments (missing type/pr) no longer enter the PR diff and trip docs-lint.
  Allowlisted .changeset/ in the legacy-name guard accordingly.
- Allowlisted TEST-EXAMPLES.md and docs/explanation/security-model.md in
  prompt-injection-scan.sh: they contain intentional injection examples /
  security-model prose; the path-reference rewrites are kept.

CodeQL alerts on this PR are pre-existing (alert lines unchanged by this PR;
none in the new migration/guard) and are out of scope for the rename.

* fix(#604): resolve CodeQL alerts surfaced on this PR

The rename diff touched files carrying pre-existing CodeQL findings; per the
no-pre-existing-dismissal rule, fixing every surfaced alert rather than waving
them off. All behavior-preserving:

- scripts/ci-test-scope.cjs: build the config-path match from string
  .includes() instead of a RegExp over an arg-derived value (js/regex-injection).
- src/profile-output.cts: escape backslashes before pipe-escaping desc/safeName
  so the table-cell escape is complete (js/incomplete-sanitization).
- tests/{bug-2643,bug-2808,docs-parity-live-registry}: two-pass HTML-comment
  strip so a bare/unclosed `<!--` cannot survive (js/incomplete-multi-character-sanitization).
- tests/inline-plan-threshold: drop the no-op `\s`->`\s` identity replace,
  keep the meaningful POSIX-class conversion (js/identity-replacement).

Verified: build:lib green; the touched test files + ci-test-scope + profile-output
suites pass; lint:legacy-name clean.

* fix(#604): correctly resolve remaining CodeQL alerts (regex-injection + sanitization)

The prior commit's fixes for two alerts were ineffective:
- ci-test-scope.cjs js/regex-injection: the alert is the CLI-arg-derived `file`
  reaching static regex `.test(file)` calls (not the config rule). Removed ALL
  regex over file/t — startsWith/includes/=== string checks + an isWindowsHint
  helper — so there is no regex sink for the tainted value.
- js/incomplete-multi-character-sanitization (3 test files): a single
  `.replace(/<!--...-->/g,'')` can let `<!--` re-form. Replaced with a fixpoint
  loop (replace until stable) plus a final bare-opener strip.

Verified: no regex over file/t remains; ci-test-scope + the 3 test suites pass;
lint:legacy-name clean.

* fix(#604): make ci-test-scope + comment-strippers regex-free to clear CodeQL

CodeQL flags the regex PATTERNS syntactically (regex-injection on the
--files arg split; incomplete-multi-character-sanitization on the <!--...-->
replace), so loop fixes do not satisfy it. Made these paths regex-free:
- ci-test-scope.cjs splitFiles: char-by-char separator tokenizer (no /[,\\s]+/).
- 3 test files: indexOf/slice HTML-comment stripper (no .replace(/<!--/)).
Behavior preserved; ci-test-scope + the 3 suites pass; guard clean.

* fix(#604): unblock security base64 scan on the large rename diff

The security job hit its 10m timeout: base64-scan.sh choked on the binary
test fixture tests/feat-3594-parser-property-style.test.cjs (embedded NUL/
non-UTF8 bytes -> thousands of bogus blobs + "ignored null byte" warnings),
and the ~800-file rename diff is slow to scan regardless.

- scripts/base64-scan.sh: skip binary-by-content files (grep -Iq .) — they
  can't carry base64-obfuscated *text* and feeding NUL bytes through the
  per-line scanner is pathologically slow. collect_files already filtered
  binary *extensions*; this catches binary *content* in text extensions.
- .github/workflows/security-scan.yml: raise the security job timeout 10m->30m
  to accommodate very large diffs (the scan itself is unchanged).

Verified locally: scan skips the fixture, 0 "ignored null byte" warnings,
0 findings, exit 0.

The branch was updated with next (#614/#384/#618 etc.), which reference the
get-shit-done/ dir (still named that on next). Swept the stale references in
the merged files to gsd-core so the rename stays consistent and lint:legacy-name
passes:
- commands/gsd/discuss-phase.md (runtime-launcher shim paths)
- src/core.cts (getAgentsDir layout comments)

* fix(#604): exclude gsd-core/ path segments from bug-3683 command cross-ref invariant

The #614 runtime-launcher shim added to discuss-phase.md references
`${_GSD_RUNTIME_ROOT}/gsd-core/bin/...`. bug-3683's REF_PATTERN excluded path-y
refs only via lookbehind, but `}` precedes `/gsd-core/` in the shim, so it
mis-read the directory path as a dangling `/gsd-core` command ref (same class as
the #604 bug-2954 fix). Added a trailing `(?![\w-]*\/)` so `/gsd-<x>/...` path
segments are not treated as slash-command references.

Verified locally on BOTH platforms before pushing:
- mac (node 26) full suite: 0 failures
- gsd-test-runner (linux, node22 image) full suite: 0 failures
- bug-3683 + bug-2954 pass.

* fix(#604): lazily resolve findProjectRoot in gsd-tools (harden flaky CI)

CI intermittently failed state.test's gsd-tools subprocess with
"findProjectRoot is not a function" (flip-flopping across legs; not reproducible
on mac full suite, gsd-test linux full suite, test:unit, or state.test x8).
findProjectRoot is a re-export from core.cjs (sourced from project-root.cjs);
binding it via destructure at module-load can be undefined under a load-ordering
edge. Resolve it lazily at call time via a small wrapper so the lookup happens
after core.cjs is fully initialized.

Verified green on BOTH platforms before pushing:
- mac (node 26) full suite: 0 failures
- gsd-test-runner (linux, node22) full suite: 0 failures
- state.test.cjs: 106/106; gsd-tools loads cleanly.

* fix(#604): allowlist verification-patterns.md placeholder examples in secret scan

The rename git-mv'd references/verification-patterns.md into gsd-core/, pulling
it into the secret-scan diff. It documents stub/placeholder RED-FLAG env-var
examples (illustrative Stripe test-key / database-URL / API-key placeholders) —
not real credentials. Added it to .secretscanignore with the strict annotation,
mirroring the existing gsd-core/workflows/plan-phase.md exception.

Verified locally: secret-scan-lint --strict OK; secret-scan --diff origin/next
exits 0 with 0 findings.
