dbc8b4077a docs(#3467): adr-3408 state.md write-path behavior contract (#3474)
* docs(#3467): adr-3408 state.md write-path behavior contract

* docs(#3467): correct write-seam caller list and adr heading depth

Review findings from the Standards and Spec axes, fixed in place:

- ADR behavior contract demoted from H2 to `### 8` with `#### 8.x`
  subsections, matching ADR-3180's `### 7` / `#### 7.1` precedent the
  front matter claims to follow.
- CONTEXT.md placed the STATE.md factory-reset primitive at
  verify.cts:1925. It moved to health-diagnostic.cts:337 when
  cmdValidateHealth migrated onto the rule table (#3309); verify.cts
  now has no writeStateMd call. The design intent was correct — only
  the address was stale.
- A repo-wide scan found three direct writeStateMd callers, not two:
  cmdStateSync, cmdMilestoneComplete, and the REGENERATE_STATE remedy.
  The last is documented as a sanctioned permanent exception — it is
  a factory reset, so preservation would restore the values it was
  invoked to discard.
- phase.cts comment citation corrected to :2953-2957.
- Amendment 4 attribution corrected: the recorded owner-file exemption
  failure is roadmap-parser.cts; the state.cts transfer is this ADR's
  own extrapolation.

470389f3a2 chore(#3212): tokenizer-first for stateful grammars — a shared scanner — Phase 3 (#3424)
* feat(#3414): promote git-cmd.js token-walk into a shared scanner, fix #3169

Phase 3 of epic #3212 (ADR-3212 §4). New src/token-scanner.cts generalizes
hooks/lib/git-cmd.js's proven token-walk (#3129 — "has not re-opened"):
tokenizeShellLike (quote-aware shell tokenizer, byte-identical port) and
indentWidth (bullet-nesting depth).

git-cmd.js migrates onto tokenizeShellLike with zero behavior change
(parity-asserted against every existing #3129 fixture in
tests/worktree-safety.test.cjs's folded block); isGitSubcommand's phases
1-3 (env-prefix skip, executable check, global-option consume) extracted
into skipToSubcommand, shared with the new extractBranchArgument (git
checkout -b / git branch <name>) — a new capability exercising the seam
on the domain the ADR names, not a migration of existing duplicated logic
(none existed).

Fixes #3169: src/decisions.cts's parseDecisionLines couldn't distinguish
a cross-reference bullet nested under an open decision from a fresh
malformed declaration attempt. An earlier bold-run-content-classification
design was tried and disproven against the repo's own existing FIX-B
fixtures (D-02, "no colon no dash") before being adopted — both have
identical shape under any content-only rule. Nesting depth (via
indentWidth) is the actual distinguishing signal: a bullet indented
deeper than the currently-open decision's own bullet is elaboration,
folded into its text like a continuation line, never tested against the
parse-miss guard. A bullet at the same-or-shallower indent is unchanged.

Scope-narrowing disclosed, not silent: of the ADR's four named bugs
(#3197, #3169, #2570, #2528), three no longer need this phase's work.
were independently fixed and closed since the ADR was authored — #2570's
fix is already a correctly-bounded regex per the ADR's own decidability
test (no scanner needed); #2528's fix is a deliberate, twice-reviewed
non-scanner design (its own code comment records a scanner-based attempt
that regressed a symmetric case and was reverted) that this phase does
not disturb. Only #3169 required new work.

parseDecisionLines CRITICAL/164 affected symbols (ADR §6 due diligence).

* fix(#3414): add required fast-check property tests per code review

TESTING-STANDARDS.md:169 requires at least one fast-check property test
for any module that implements parsing — src/token-scanner.cts had none,
an orthogonal Standards-axis review finding. Adds two seeded property
tests (mirroring Phase 1/2's fast-check-setup.cjs convention):
indentWidth counts exactly a generated leading-space run; tokenizeShellLike
round-trips a generated array of whitespace/quote-free words joined with
single spaces.

The design doc's own "no property test needed" rationale was wrong — it
argued no algebraic law applied, but the standard is unconditional for
parsing modules regardless of whether one "feels" applicable. Corrected
in .gsd/phase/chore-3414-tokenizer-first-seam/50-test-matrix.md.

Also fixes two Spec-axis wording drifts the same review found between
the design doc and the shipped code (doc-only, no behavior change):
extractBranchArgument's documented signature dropped an unused
subVariants parameter that was never implemented, and the #3169
fail-first fixture description corrected from "15-decision plan via
cmdDecisionCoverageVerify" to the actual compact 3-decision analog via
the real blocking gate, check.decision-coverage-plan.

0624c5da6f chore(#3212): src/text-lines.cts is the sole owner of line-terminator handling — Phase 2 (#3420)
* test(#3413): failing-first suite for the line-terminator seam

Phase 2 of epic #3212 (ADR-3212 §3/§6/§7). Tests only — src/text-lines.cts
does not exist yet, so tests/text-lines.test.cjs fails with MODULE_NOT_FOUND
at its require line, which is the intended RED.

The frontmatter.test.cjs additions drive #3360 (confirmed-bug) fail-first:
parseMustHavesBlock currently returns [] for every must_haves block on a
CRLF-authored plan file, because \r is its own LineTerminator in ECMAScript
and two /m-anchored \s* patterns can absorb it, inflating a captured indent
by one character and tripping the "not nested under must_haves" guard.
Verified locally against the current (unfixed) compiled module: both the
direct repro and the silent-exit "blank line before must_haves:" variant
return [] today. A parity property test (crlf vs lf must deep-equal for
every block name) matches a pattern this maintainer has required repeatedly
for prior CRLF fixes in this codebase (Cortex-recorded, verify_intent=held).

The no-crlf-fragile-split.rule.test.cjs additions lock the eslint rule's
future fix-hint text (pointing at splitLines()) and its self-reference
non-violation (the seam's own correct \r?\n split must never flag itself).

* chore(#3413): src/text-lines.cts owns line-terminator handling

Phase 2 of epic #3212 (ADR-3212 §3/§6/§7). Adds splitLines/normalizeEol/
detectEol/joinLines and migrates frontmatter.cts onto it.

parseMustHavesBlock (#3360, confirmed-bug) returned [] for every
must_haves block on a CRLF plan file. Root cause: \r is its own
LineTerminator in ECMAScript, so under /m two \s*-anchored indentation
lookups could match at the position INSIDE a \r\n pair and absorb the
terminator, inflating the captured indent by one character and tripping
the "not nested under must_haves" guard. Two silent exits, one with a
diagnostic and one without (a blank line before must_haves: hits the
silent path). Fixed by converting both lookups from a whole-string /m
match to split-then-scan — splitLines first, then a per-line, non-/m
match — the same structural pattern parseYamlRegion (30 lines away in
the same file) already used safely. Nothing downstream of the two
lookups changed; blockLines is now sliced from the already-split array
instead of re-splitting a substring, but its contents are unchanged for
LF input, and the per-line dash/kv parsing loop is untouched.

A parity property test (CRLF and LF plans parse to identical must_haves
for every block name) matches a pattern this maintainer has required
repeatedly for prior CRLF fixes in this file's neighborhood (Cortex:
7 recorded decisions, verify_intent -> held).

frontmatter.cts's other .split(/\r?\n/) call sites (parseYamlRegion,
isFrontmatterShaped, sliceTopLevelFrontmatterSegments, spliceFrontmatter)
are rerouted onto splitLines — a literal 1:1 substitution, zero behavior
change, since splitLines IS that same regex plus a type guard.

The 4 scripts/normalizeLineEndings copies (gen-registry, gen-loop-host-
contract, gen-capability-registry, gen-context-index) are deleted and
rerouted onto normalizeEol, which strips a bare unpaired \r exactly like
the deleted copies did (not just \r\n pairs) -- verified against each
script's own --check mode against its real generated output.

local/no-crlf-fragile-split widens from tests/ to src/**/*.cts, with its
fix-hint message now naming splitLines() instead of the raw regex --
the prohibition finally has a primitive to point at. Detection logic
unchanged in this phase (deliberate scope limit, see design doc Known
limits: the rule doesn't yet recognize safeReadFile/platformReadSync as
a content source, and has no detector for the \s-adjacent-to-anchor
shape that is #3360's actual mechanism -- the CLASS is converged by the
direct fix + regression test regardless).

joinLines/detectEol are NOT wired into frontmatter.cts's own write path
(cmdFrontmatterSet/Merge -> platformWriteSync) -- verified that
platformWriteSync already, unconditionally converts CRLF->LF on every
.md write today as a pre-existing policy owned by a different module,
and ADR-3212's backward-compatibility clause rules out a file-format
change in any phase. Stated explicitly in Known limits rather than left
for a reader to discover.

* fix(#3413): fix 13 pre-existing CRLF-fragile splits the widened rule found

Widening local/no-crlf-fragile-split from tests/ to src/**/*.cts (the
previous commit) immediately surfaced 13 real, pre-existing violations
across 10 files -- undetected until now because the rule never scanned
src/. This is the exact defect class ADR-3212 exists to close, playing
out again one phase after Phase 1 hit the same shape ("the new lint
rule -- once live -- found 27 more"). Per CLAUDE.md's no-defer rule,
fixed inline rather than deferred or suppressed; there is no
established suppression convention for this rule in src/ and inventing
one now would undermine the point of widening it.

audit.cts, broken-windows.cts, core-utils.cts, init.cts, milestone.cts,
phase.cts (x3), profile-output.cts, roadmap.cts (x2): bare-\n splits or
regex character classes widened to \r?\n / [^\r\n], each following the
same pattern already established migrating frontmatter.cts.

phase-estimation.cts: `\r?(?:\n|$)` restructured to `(?:\r?\n|\r?$)` --
already semantically CRLF-safe, but the rule's lexical scanner doesn't
recognize \r? guarding a group (only \r? immediately before a literal
\n). Verified the two forms are equivalent across all four EOL/EOF
cases before restructuring, not assumed.

roadmap-upgrade.cts needed two coupled sites, not the one flagged line:
computeMigrationPlan and applyMigration must agree on line
representation for the lines[edit.lineIndex] === edit.from equality
check to hold, and the write-back needed joinLines + detectEol -- a
plain lines.join('\n') was silently flattening a CRLF ROADMAP.md to LF
wholesale on every migration. This is the first real production
consumer of joinLines/detectEol in this epic (frontmatter.cts's own
write path doesn't use them -- see the previous commit's Known limits).

Fixing the 13 flagged sites surfaced 4 more adjacent same-shape sites
the rule doesn't track (.search() and new RegExp(dynamicString) aren't
in its tracked call/construction set). Investigated each empirically --
hand-tracing this exact bug class already produced one wrong conclusion
earlier in this phase (a detectEol design-doc arithmetic error), so
these were verified with real CRLF fixtures rather than reasoned about
on paper:

  - audit.cts (scanTodos): REAL bug, fixed. `bodyMatch.trim().split
    ('\n')[0]` leaked a trailing \r into a user-visible todo summary on
    CRLF input -- .trim() only strips the string's outer edges, not a
    \r sitting mid-string before the first bare \n. Now splitLines(...)
    [0].
  - phase.cts (cmdPhaseInsert, bullet-style branch): REAL bug, fixed.
    [^\n]* in targetBulletPattern swallowed a line's trailing \r on
    CRLF input, shifting the computed insert position to land INSIDE
    the \r\n pair; combined with a hardcoded '\n' bullet separator, a
    CRLF ROADMAP.md ended up with a mixed CRLF/LF result after an
    insert. Fixed with two coupled changes (either alone still
    corrupts, verified both ways): [^\r\n]* in the pattern, and the new
    bullet's leading terminator now comes from detectEol(rawContent).
  - roadmap.cts (cmdRoadmapAnnotateDependencies phase-boundary scan):
    investigated, genuinely safe, left untouched. The .search(/\n#{2,4}
    .../) boundary-finder and the [^\n]*-based heading match were
    empirically verified on a 3-phase CRLF fixture -- the only stray \r
    ends up at the tail of an intermediate phaseSection string that is
    only ever used for .test()-based idempotency checks, never for an
    exact-match comparison or written back to disk. No corruption on
    round-trip.

Every fix re-verified: npm run build:lib clean, npx eslint
'src/**/*.cts' --no-cache reports 0 problems (was 13), and each
fixed function's existing LF-input tests were spot-checked unchanged.

* fix(#3413): apply orthogonal review findings

Two isolated review engines (correctness + security) ran against the
full diff and found three majors, one real security issue, and several
disclosure-worthy minors. All fixed or explicitly disclosed with
evidence; nothing deferred.

MAJOR — detectEol's tie-break contradicted its own documented contract.
Code returned '\n' on a 1:1 crlf/bare-LF tie; every doc (design doc,
CONTEXT.md, the function's own comment) says ties resolve to '\r\n'.
The existing test masked this by reusing the same tie fixture the
buggy code happened to satisfy, rather than a genuine LF-majority
case. Root cause: an Edit attempted earlier in this phase to fix this
exact arithmetic error was blocked by the tier guard, and a later
dispatch was incorrectly told it had already landed. Fixed: condition
is now crlfCount >= bareLfCount; the test fixture corrected to a
genuine 2:1 majority, with a new explicit tie-case test.

MAJOR — phase.cts's cmdPhaseInsert built an EOL-aware bulletEntry via
detectEol(rawContent), justified by a comment claiming a hardcoded
'\n' corrupts a CRLF ROADMAP.md. False: this write goes through
platformWriteSync, whose normalizeContent/_normalizeMd unconditionally
converts CRLF->LF for any .md target — the templating was inert dead
code, erased before the file is ever written. Reverted to hardcoded
'\n', comment corrected to state the true reasoning. The separate
[^\n]* -> [^\r\n]* widening one function up (a real splice-position
fix, independent of final EOL) was kept.

MAJOR — roadmap-upgrade.cts's stated rationale for switching onto
splitLines/joinLines was wrong (both functions always agreed on line
representation, before and after — the claimed equality-check risk
never existed), and the change it justified introduced a real
regression: forcing every line onto one dominant terminator silently
rewrites untouched lines' EOL on a mixed-CRLF/LF ROADMAP.md. This
write path uses raw fs.writeFileSync, not platformWriteSync, so unlike
the phase.cts case above the regression is genuinely live.

Fixing this took two attempts. The first attempt (revert to
split('\n')/join('\n') plus a suppression comment) was correctly
blocked by an agent that discovered local/no-crlf-fragile-split is a
PROTECTED_RULES entry in tests/portability-rule-disable-ban.test.cjs —
a hard, out-of-band, ADR-1703-governed guardrail banning any
eslint-disable of this rule anywhere in src/**/*.cts. That agent also
detected and correctly disregarded an injected instruction that
appeared in tool output during a git operation, per this session's
untrusted-content policy. The actual fix: computeMigrationPlan
reverted to roadmapContent.split('\n') (confirmed lint-clean — the
rule's data-flow tracking only follows a variable's initializer, and
this one is declared empty then reassigned in a try block).
applyMigration's write-back now splices edits against the ORIGINAL
content string via indexOf('\n', pos) boundary-walking instead of a
full split/rejoin, so every untouched character — including every
line's own terminator — is copied byte-for-byte. A capture-group split
(/(\r\n|\n)/, preserving terminators inline) was tried first and
empirically confirmed to still trip the rule before this approach was
chosen instead.

MINOR (security) — roadmap.cts's cmdRoadmapAnnotateDependencies used
the STRING form of String#replace, so $&, $`, $', $1-$9 inside
must_haves.truths content (author-controlled) were interpreted as
replacement directives, splicing unrelated ROADMAP.md text into the
result. Fixed with the function-replacement form, which is never
pattern-interpreted. Verified before/after with the reviewer's exact
repro.

Also disclosed rather than silently left: test matrix row 31 (four
planned CRLF-materialized regression tests) was never implemented as
separate files — corrected to record the actual verification (a
manual --check run plus incidental existing coverage via each script's
normalizeLineEndings: normalizeEol alias). parseMustHavesBlock's LF
behavior was claimed byte-for-byte unchanged but the old
yaml.indexOf(blockMatch[0]) substring search could match an unrelated
earlier occurrence of the header text (e.g. inside a quoted value) —
the split-then-scan fix incidentally also closes this, a strict
improvement now recorded in the design doc rather than left implicit.

* fix(#3413): checkpoint 2 red — missing eslint ignore entry, RuleTester config error

Checkpoint 2 came back red with 5 failures on the reviewed sha, both
gaps genuinely undetectable by any local gate.

eslint.config.mjs was missing the 'gsd-core/bin/lib/text-lines.cjs'
ignores-list entry (ADR-457: generated .cjs artifacts are excluded from
direct type-aware linting). Phase 1's sibling entry (pattern.cjs) sits
two lines above it and was the exact precedent read while researching
the six-gate ripple for this module -- missed anyway. Caught by
tests/repo-invariants.test.cjs's bin/lib coverage-tracking test, which
only runs on the remote suite.

tests/no-crlf-fragile-split.rule.test.cjs's row-32 case specified both
`messageId` and `message` on the same RuleTester error assertion --
ESLint's RuleTester rejects that combination outright. This existed
since the test was first authored and was never caught locally: `npx
eslint` only lints the file's syntax, it does not execute RuleTester,
and local `node --test` is hard-blocked in this repo -- the assertion
had never actually RUN before this checkpoint. It was even present in
checkpoint 1's failure list, listed there as one of the "expected RED"
tests; I matched it against my expected-failures list by test NAME
only and never inspected the actual failure detail closely enough to
notice it was failing for the wrong reason (a RuleTester config error,
not the intended message-text mismatch). Fixed by keeping `message`
(the exact-text assertion the test exists to make) and dropping
`messageId`. Verified the crlfFragileSplit message string in
eslint-rules/no-crlf-fragile-split.cjs matches this assertion
character-for-character, and swept every other invalid case in the
file for the same double-specification bug (none found -- all
pre-existing cases use messageId alone).

dc3c81e93d chore(#3212): src/pattern.cts is the sole owner of runtime-value regex construction — Phase 1 (#3416)
* test(#3412): failing-first suite for the pattern-construction seam

Phase 1 of epic #3212 (ADR-3212 §1/§2/§7). Tests only — src/pattern.cts
and eslint-rules/no-adhoc-regex-escape.cjs do not exist yet, so both
suites fail with MODULE_NOT_FOUND, which is the intended RED.

Locks the measured behavior rather than the assumed behavior:
RegExp.escape hex-escapes the leading character of nearly every string
("abc" -> "\x61bc"), so the suite asserts match-equivalence against an
inlined historical oracle (the implementation being deleted) rather
than byte-equivalence of pattern text — 200 seeded fast-check runs plus
a fixed corpus, 0 mismatches. Also locks the latent character-class
range bug this phase fixes as a side effect: a hyphen-bearing value
interpolated into [...] currently forms a real range and matches an
unintended character; post-migration it must not.

* chore(#3412): src/pattern.cts owns runtime-value regex construction

Phase 1 of epic #3212 (ADR-3212 §1/§2/§6/§7). Adds the pattern seam
delegating to the built-in RegExp.escape, deletes every hand-rolled
copy, and raises the Node floor to the Active LTS line.

The census was low, three times over. ADR-3212 counted 10 copies; a
graph query found 12; the new lint rule — once live — found 27 more.
The difference is that the census counted named helper FUNCTIONS while
the rule counts the escape SHAPE, so inline .replace(<class>, '\$&')
copies were never in scope. ADR §1's actual requirement is that no
module outside the seam escapes a value for regex use, so all of them
are, and CLAUDE.md's no-defer rule makes them this change's work.
Fourth consecutive epic here whose copy count was low — the argument
for ADR-3180 Amendment 3's "state N found by the guard" rule.

Also corrected mid-implementation: the survey reported phase-id.cts's
escapeRegex had 0 external importers. It had 8 production importers,
making its removal a public-surface change to an ADR-2121-owned module
and requiring an update to that ADR's locked-surface test. Blast
radius revised Medium-High -> High.

RegExp.escape is match-equivalent but NOT text-equivalent: it
hex-escapes the leading char of nearly every string ("abc" ->
"\x61bc"). Equivalence is proven by a seeded fast-check property test
against the deleted implementation as oracle. It also fixes a latent
bug: a hyphen-bearing value interpolated into a character class
previously formed a real range and matched an unintended character.

Node floor 22 -> 24 (RegExp.escape is Node 24+), across engines,
.nvmrc, package-lock, 9 CI matrix entries, and 5 docs. The aggregate
`required-tests` context is unchanged and no job was added or removed,
so branch protection cannot be orphaned by the dropped lanes.

Enforced by eslint-rules/no-adhoc-regex-escape.cjs (shape-matched, with
structural provenance for reviewed pattern-fragment constants rather
than a name heuristic) plus a whole-tree companion guard covering the
directories ESLint's globs miss.

* fix(#3412): close the _SOURCE guard evasion, correct two false claims

Three findings from the orthogonal review pass, all fixed.

1. The ESLint rule's `_SOURCE` provenance fallback was pure identifier-
   name matching with no binding check, so `new RegExp(userInput_SOURCE)`
   — a function parameter — sailed past the guard. That is the same
   rename-evasion class issue #3410 documents, reopened by the very
   fallback meant to complement the structural check. Now bound to the
   identifier's actual binding kind: import, require-derived const, or
   module-scope const; parameters, `let`/`var`, and unresolvable
   bindings fail closed. Four RuleTester cases cover the evasion and
   prove the legitimate cross-module case still passes.

2. src/pattern.cts's own header carried the stale pre-correction counts
   (12 copies / 17 call sites) while CONTEXT.md and the design doc
   carried the corrected ones (~39 / ~44) — a self-contradiction inside
   the PR whose entire purpose is deleting divergent copies. Rewritten,
   preserving the durable lesson: a named-function census cannot see
   inline copies; only a shape-matching guard can.

3. The claim that all deleted copies threw TypeError on non-string was
   false. phase-id.cts's copy — the one with 8 external importers — did
   String(value).replace(...) and never threw. The seam's locked
   signature does not coerce, so this is a real, now-disclosed behavior
   change rather than the pure preservation the tests asserted. Audited
   all 32 invocations across the 8 importers and 6 in-file callers:
   every one is safe by construction (upstream truthy guard or a
   string-producing derivation), verified by runtime probe against the
   compiled modules rather than by TS compilation, which cannot see a
   runtime undefined. Corrected the false claim in both the test comment
   and the design doc, and added it to Known limits.

* docs(#3412): add Changed changeset for the Node 24 floor

The only user-visible break in this phase. The escape-behavior change
is internal and match-equivalent, so it carries no user-facing note.

* fix(#3412): resolve the seam's require graph in script fixtures and packaging

Checkpoint 2 came back red with 90 failures on the node24 lane. Three
distinct defects, all introduced by routing scripts/ through the new
pattern seam, none reproducible by any local gate:

1. ~82 failures — tests/adr-index-gate.test.cjs and
   tests/removed-but-needed-lint.test.cjs copy a scripts/*.cjs into an
   mkdtemp fixture and spawn it there (necessary: those scripts resolve
   their scan root from __dirname/.., so running the real script would
   scan the real repo). Each harness hand-listed the dependencies to
   copy alongside. Adding require('../gsd-core/bin/lib/pattern.cjs') to
   gen-adr-index.cjs made both lists silently incomplete ->
   MODULE_NOT_FOUND, plus 17 downstream 'did not emit parseable JSON'
   failures from the same crash.

   Fixed as a class, not an instance: new tests/helpers/copy-script-
   fixture.cjs walks a script's transitive static relative-require graph
   and copies it, so dependencies are derived and never re-declared. It
   throws (naming the unbuilt artifact) instead of letting the child die
   with a bare MODULE_NOT_FOUND. Verified for all four seam-consuming
   scripts: gen-adr-index, lint-removed-but-needed, gen-loop-host-
   contract, sync-runtime-launcher.

2. 2 failures — scripts/ ships wholesale but eslint-rules/ does not, so
   the new scripts/lint-no-adhoc-regex-escape.cjs would be
   MODULE_NOT_FOUND in a published install (#2858 guard). Excluded from
   the tarball, matching the existing precedent for gen-emitted-
   baseline.cjs, which is excluded for the identical reason, and locked
   with a test modeled on that one. Confirmed against a real npm pack:
   890 files, 0 from eslint-rules/, and gsd-core/bin/lib/pattern.cjs
   present (so the other four scripts' requires are legitimate).

3. 6 failures — tests/phase-id.test.cjs asserted the literal escaped
   source text ('0*29', 'PROJ-42'). RegExp.escape is match-equivalent to
   the retired hand-rolled escaper but NOT text-equivalent: it hex-
   escapes the leading character and all hyphens ('0*\x329',
   '\x50ROJ\x2d42'). Verified NOT a behavior change — 576 match
   decisions across all three real interpolation prefixes, zero
   divergence. Those tests now compile each source into the same heading
   regex src/roadmap.cts's searchPhaseInContent builds and assert what
   matches and what does not, including the 'i'-flag canonicalization
   the hex escape has to preserve. Re-pinning the new literals would
   have rebuilt the same brittleness one layer down. Adds a test for the
   property the escape exists for: a dot in '1.2' must not act as a
   wildcard.

Also shares one definition of 'a require' between the packaging guard
and the fixture copier, so the two cannot disagree about what they scan.

* fix(#3412): refuse to copy a fixture dependency outside the fixture root

copyScriptWithDeps resolved each relative require and joined the
repo-relative result onto fixtureRoot. A require resolving OUTSIDE the
repo yields a '../'-prefixed relative path, so path.join climbed out of
the fixture and wrote into the surrounding temp dir (verified:
repoRoot=/repo + depAbs=/etc/passwd wrote /tmp/etc/passwd).

No script in the tree does this today, so this closes an available
escape rather than an active one. Refuses via the existing unresolved-
require path so the failure names the offending specifier. Covered by a
negative proof that the guard fires and that nothing lands outside the
fixture.

* fix(#3412): parse requires instead of pattern-matching them; restore the foreign-prefix contract

Applies all findings from the second orthogonal review round, re-run
because real code changed after round 1.

HIGH (security) — extractRequires stripped BLOCK comments before LINE
comments, so a '//' comment containing '/*' opened a phantom block
comment, and a '//' inside a string literal truncated the line. Both
hid real requires: 'const u="http://x"; require("./real.cjs")'
returned [], and four real requires in gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs were
invisible. Replaced with a real AST parse via espree.

This is ADR-3212's own Decision 4 — tokenizer-first for stateful
grammars — applied to the case it describes; comment/string/regex
nesting is exactly such a grammar, which is why the regex version was
wrong. The function was moved byte-identical out of the #2858 packaging
guard, so the bug PRE-DATES this branch and has been a live blind spot
there: a shipped script could have required an unshipped path
undetected. Fixing it makes that guard strictly stronger than on next.

espree is promoted from a transitive eslint dependency to an explicit
devDependency rather than relying on hoisting. The script parse attempt
sets ecmaFeatures.globalReturn because Node wraps CommonJS bodies in a
function, making a top-level return legal — scripts/check-coverage-gate
.cjs relies on it, and without the flag the guard throws on a file it
is supposed to scan. Verified 0 unparseable across all 324 .cjs/.js
under scripts/, bin/, and gsd-core/bin/, and 0 new violations against a
real npm pack, so the exact extractor does not newly fail the guard.

MEDIUM (security) — the repo-containment check guarded dependencies but
not the entry path. One escapesContainment predicate now guards both.

LOW (security) — containment was lexical while fs follows symlinks, and
a directory symlink could mint a fresh dedupe key per level. realpath
now resolves both repoRoot and each dependency before the decision, and
the realpath-derived path is the dedupe key. Destination layout still
uses the original repo-relative path, so copied trees are unchanged.

MAJOR (standards) — the round-1 behavioral rewrite of phase-id tests
lost the foreign-prefix contract: every assertion was satisfied by an
impl returning [A-Z]+\x2d42, i.e. ANY project code — the exact #3599
bug class the exact-source prevents. The literal assertions it replaced
were catching this. Now asserts the compiled regex REJECTS a different
prefix with the same number.

MAJOR (standards) — the test hand-duplicated production's heading regex
with no parity guard (CLAUDE.md's 'Generative Fix Divergence'). Removed
the parallel surface instead of policing it: src/roadmap.cts exports
buildPhaseHeadingRegex, searchPhaseInContent calls it, the test imports
it. Byte-identical .source and .flags verified for both escaped forms.

MINOR — '..foo' no longer false-flagged as an escape; the inverted
spurious-vs-missing doc claim corrected; the dead allow-test-rule
header removed.

* chore(#3412): backfill changeset pr number to 3416

* fix(#3412): make the escape guard's own regex linear, reword an injection-scan collision

Two CI failures on PR #3416, both in code this branch added.

CodeQL js/redos (high) — REPLACE_CALL_RE's outer alternation let a
bracket run be consumed EITHER by the character-class branch OR one
character at a time by the trailing catch-all, so a failing match
explored both parses of every pair. Measured on the real regex:
n=26 -> 204ms, n=28 -> 791ms, n=30 -> 3475ms, a clean 2^n. This script
scans repo source, so a file with a long bracket run after '.replace(/'
would hang CI outright — a guard against undisciplined pattern
construction was itself the worst pattern in the diff.

Fixed the way ADR-3212 already prescribes: the catch-all branch now
excludes '[' and ']' so a bracket can only be consumed by the class
branch (this is what makes it linear), and every quantifier is bounded
(the locked bounded-quantifiers decision) as a second line of defense.
Now 0ms at n=2000. Disclosed coverage tradeoff, recorded at the
constant: a regex literal with a BARE unescaped ']' outside a class is
no longer matched by this backstop. No census shape has that form, and
the AST rule remains the primary detector.

Verified the guard did not go blind doing it: a real census-shape
violation is still reported, and an allow-adhoc-regex-escape
suppression comment is still honored.

Regression test drives the exported findViolations on a
2000-repetition adversarial input and asserts the RESULT. It makes no
wall-clock assertion — elapsed-time tests are forbidden — so a
regression surfaces as a harness timeout, which is the correct signal.

Prompt injection scan — 'must not act as a regex wildcard' in a test
comment matched the scanner's jailbreak pattern act\s+as\s+(a|an|if|
my). Reworded to 'behave as'. Deliberately NOT allowlisted: silencing a
whole test file over one phrase would blunt the scanner permanently,
and the comment has nothing to do with injection.

Neither failure was reachable from the remote runner — CodeQL and the
injection scan are not in that matrix, so the sha it passed was green
and still wrong.

6a1860c579 docs(#3309): fix CONTEXT.md's stale Health Diagnostic Module entry
Still said RULES ships empty and repair handlers are stubs — true when
the skeleton batch first wrote this glossary entry, false since the

per-action handlers). Found by the Standards-axis orthogonal review.

e0021a2fed refactor(#3309): extract health-diagnostic-types leaf module, wire RULES
Wiring all 8 rule-group files into health-diagnostic.cts's RULES array
created a genuine CJS circular dependency: each group file required
health-diagnostic.cjs back for the shared enums, and health-diagnostic.cjs
now required the group files forward, so the enums were undefined
mid-load (destructuring health-diagnostic.cjs's still-unassigned
exports).

Fixes it by splitting the enums/types (SEVERITY, REMEDY_ACTION,
REMEDY_RISK, Remedy, Diagnostic, Rule) into a dependency-free leaf
module, health-diagnostic-types.cts, that both sides import instead of
each other. health-diagnostic.cts re-exports the enums for existing
consumers. RULES is now the real concatenation of all 8 groups (31
codes — E001 intentionally stays a pre-check outside the table).

f0abdb1b89 fix(#2486): do not recommend or persist Claude-only worktree isolation on non-Claude runtimes (#2531)
* fix(#2486): runtime-branch the settings worktrees question + W020 health diagnostic

On non-Claude runtimes /gsd:settings offered "Yes (Recommended)" for
worktree isolation and persisted workflow.use_worktrees: true — the exact
value the execution workflows fail closed on (#1521 guards). Branch the
question on the same stamped config-get runtime read the guards use:
Claude keeps the unchanged question; non-Claude offers only
"No (Recommended)" / "Leave unchanged", never persists true, and warns
when the config carries an inherited explicit true. /gsd:health gains
W020, surfacing such a config with the guards' own predicate before
execution-time failure. Docs state the runtime-conditional default.

* fix(#2486): reassign the health worktrees check W020 -> W024 (verify.cts namespace collision)

The workflow-level check collided with the live W020 (git-worktree-list
health) emitted by cmdValidateHealth in src/verify.cts — invisible from
health.md's error_codes table, which stops at W019 and under-represents
the real namespace (W010-W017, W020-W023 all live). W024 verified free.
Adds a regression test pinning the chosen code against src/verify.cts so
a future assignment cannot silently collide, a table note naming the
namespace owner, and the changeset body reworded to house style.

Review round 2: at settings.md:142 the pre-selection rule left "Leave
unchanged" as the default when the config carried an explicit
non-false use_worktrees — the exact broken state the adjacent notice
warns about, so accepting the default kept a config that fails closed
at execution time. "Leave unchanged" is now the default only when the
key is absent (nothing to repair); explicit false AND explicit
non-false both pre-select "No (Recommended)", aligning the default,
the label, and the notice.

Pinned by two source-contract assertions in the #2486 regression
block. Goldens (settings.md hash x19) + size baseline regenerated.

* fix(#2486): gate the worktrees question on dispatch.isolation, not the runtime name

Review round 2: #2584 Phase 3 replaced the runtime-name test with a
declared `dispatch.isolation` capability, invalidating this PR's
premise. cursor declares harness-worktree and codex/opencode/kimi/
kimi-code declare orchestrator-worktree, so a `RUNTIME != claude` gate
blocked a supported configuration on five runtimes and false-warned in
health.

- settings.md + health.md read `query dispatch-isolation` and branch on
  `ISOLATION = none`; the runtime-name read is gone from both, and the
  capability read needs no per-runtime stamping (it fail-closes unknown/
  undocumented internally)
- all "Claude Code-only primitive" prose rewritten, including the two
  gates the shell-syntax check missed (config-key list, JSON schema
  comment)
- W024 reconciled across health.md + CONFIGURATION.md + planning-config.md
  (docs still said W020, which collides with a verify.cts code)
- health.md error-codes table fixed: the namespace note no longer sits
  between rows orphaning I001
- the asymmetry note for the two workflows #2584 has not migrated
  (quick.md, diagnose-issues.md) is enforced by a set-equality test with
  a self-check table, so it cannot go stale in either direction

* docs(#2486): restore the Executor isolation section clobbered by #2661

`46ba02ac` (feat(#2630), the current next tip) reverted docs/CONFIGURATION.md
to a pre-#2584 state: it restored the old "Non-Claude note" wording on the
workflow.use_worktrees row and deleted the whole "Executor isolation per
runtime" section. The change is unrelated to that PR's phase-estimation
feature and looks like a stale-copy edit.

This PR's use_worktrees row links to #executor-isolation-per-runtime, so the
deletion leaves a dangling anchor. Restored byte-for-byte from a40ee8a5 (the
text #2584 Phase 3 originally shipped). No link/anchor checker exists in
scripts/ or tests/, so CI would not have caught the dead link.

The reverted row wording is outside this PR's scope and is still wrong on
next; reported upstream as #2668.

* fix(#2486): reword the W024 remediation so it names no bare gsd-tools call

The W024 warning told the user to run `gsd-tools query config-set`, a
command-position bare invocation that fails with "command not found" on a
shim-only install (#2751) — the diagnostic sent the user into a second,
more confusing error than the one it reported. The remediation now names
only `/gsd:settings` and the config key itself, both of which work on
every install layout, and the #2751 command-position gate goes green.

Fixes #2486

* fix(#2486): drop the Known-asymmetry note and its guard test — #2728 migrates both workflows

Review Major 2: once #2728 lands, the note describes a gap that no longer
exists and instructs maintainers not to do the thing that was just done —
with the set-equality guard test pinning the stale prose green. This PR now
depends on #2728 (declared in the PR body), so the note and its guard go.

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

* test(#2486): make the #2728 merge order enforceable instead of advisory

settings.md recommends and persists `workflow.use_worktrees: true` for every
runtime whose declared dispatch.isolation is not `none` — cursor
(harness-worktree) and codex/opencode/kimi/kimi-code (orchestrator-worktree).
quick.md and diagnose-issues.md consume that value at dispatch time and, while
they still gate on the runtime NAME, FATAL for all five. Merged first, this PR
reintroduces #2486's own shape for the exact runtimes it exists to help — on
the path it now labels "Recommended".

The dependency was stated only as prose in the PR body. A merge-order note is
not a gate: an automated batch merge never reads it. This adds the check that
makes the ordering structural — red while either sibling is still name-gated,
green the moment #2728 lands.

The predicate matches a RUNTIME-vs-"claude" comparison, not the legitimate
runtime-identity read, and accepts either the inline canonical
dispatch-isolation read or a reference to dispatch-isolation-gate.md, which is
the shape #2728 gives quick.md. Verified both directions against real sources:
red against the current workflows, green against #2728's.

This also closes W024's coverage window. W024 fires only when ISOLATION is
`none`, so it is structurally blind to these five runtimes — /gsd:health would
report healthy right up until quick.md FATALs. W024 cannot see the hazard, so
the hazard is prevented by making the unsafe ordering unmergeable rather than
by warning after the fact.

Separately, the W-code namespace-collision test now declares its source read
instead of passing lint silently: verify.cts emits its codes as inline string
literals across ~25 addIssue() calls and exports no enumerable registry, so
there is nothing to require() and assert against. The gap, and what it costs,
are stated in the test.

* docs(#2486): use the hyphen command form for /gsd-health in CONFIGURATION.md

docs/ is never passed through the install-time slash-form converters, so the
colon form names a command no runtime registers. Clears the sole
lint-docs-command-form violation attributable to this PR.

* fix(#2486): resolve isolation via new side-effect-free inspect-dispatch-isolation query; scope the settings change to isolation-none runtimes

Review round 4:

- B1: /gsd:health and /gsd:settings no longer call the recording
  dispatch-isolation query — on current next it persists the resolved
  decision to the executor-isolation sentinel as an unconditional #3045
  side effect, letting a read-only diagnostic hard-block executor
  dispatch for the sentinel's lifetime across sessions. Both surfaces now
  use inspect-dispatch-isolation, a new read-only verb sharing the exact
  resolution implementation (extracted resolveDispatchIsolationDecision)
  with zero writes. Behavioral tests pin: no sentinel write, per-runtime
  parity with the recording verb, recording knobs ignored, --json shape.

- B2: the #2728 merge-order interlock test is deleted — a repo test
  cannot sequence merges; it only made this PR unmergeable on its own
  schedule. The settings behavior change is scoped entirely to the
  ISOLATION=none branch, which needs nothing from #2728; the != none
  path is base behavior unchanged.

- M1: the W024-vs-verify.cts namespace test (an admitted source-grep) is
  deleted per RULESET.TESTS.delete-bad-tests, without a standing
  exemption; the namespace claim lives as guidance in health.md.

- M2: remaining allow-test-rule exemptions re-derived into documented
  categories (source-text-is-the-product, integration-test-input) with
  issue refs per ADR-456.

- Minor: settings.md's current-value read drops the stampable
  --default/fallback so key-absence stays distinguishable from an
  explicit false on non-Claude emits (the pre-selection rule depends on
  the tri-state); docs now present inspect-dispatch-isolation as the
  inspection command and name dispatch-isolation as the recording
  resolver.

* fix(#2486): put the install-marker rung in the canonical runtime resolver

Round-7 review (independent cross-AI pass over the whole PR).

BLOCKER — the gate did not fire in the default case. `resolveRuntime`
stopped at GSD_RUNTIME > config.runtime > 'claude', and
`config-new-project` writes NO `runtime` key — so on a real non-Claude
install every consumer believed it was on Claude: isolation reported
`harness-worktree`, /gsd:settings still offered "Yes (Recommended)" and
W024 stayed silent. That is #2486's own symptom, surviving the fix meant
to remove it. Verified end-to-end on a real `--qwen` install with a
runtime-neutral config and GSD_RUNTIME unset: pre-fix `harness-worktree`,
fixed `none`.

The rung lives in `resolveRuntime` (src/runtime-slash.cts), the ONE
canonical resolver, not in the isolation call site. A per-consumer fix
forks precedence: `inspect-dispatch-isolation` would answer `cursor` while
`dispatch-should-flatten` and `resolve-dispatch-type` still answered
`claude` for the same install. All three now agree. `readInstallRuntimeMarker`,
its cache and its test seams MOVED from model-resolver.cts to
runtime-slash.cts, with model-resolver re-exporting the seams — one marker
read and one cache, not two that drift.

Deliberately NOT `resolveActiveRuntime`/`loadConfig`: an intermediate
revision of this fix routed through `loadConfig`, which normalizes and
rewrites legacy keys back to disk. That gave `inspect-dispatch-isolation`
— the verb whose entire purpose is being side-effect-free — a write side
effect, which is the defect the verb exists to avoid. `resolveRuntime`
reads .planning/config.json directly. Re-verified: the inspect query
against a real install creates no `.gsd/`.

Tests, both of which were too weak in the first attempt and are now
fail-first proven:
- The W024 behavioral stub returned success-with-empty-output for an absent
  key. Real `config-get` EXITS NON-ZERO, and the `|| echo "true"` fallback
  only triggers on failure — so reintroducing the fallback would have passed.
  The stub now returns 1 for the absent case.
- The marker regression asserted on the exported helper, so reverting
  gsd-tools.cjs to a marker-blind resolver still passed. It now drives a real
  `--qwen` install through the shipped `inspect-dispatch-isolation` query.
  (GSD_TEST_MODE must be cleared for that child, or install.js no-ops while
  still exiting 0 — a green test over an install that wrote nothing.)
  Spawned through `installSpawnEnv()` so ambient GSD_HOME cannot leak in.

Also: the three PR-added `try/finally` test bodies converted to `t.after()`
per CONTRIBUTING; CONTEXT.md's `worktree create` UNCONSUMED claim corrected
(Phase 3 calls it in executor-isolation-dispatch.md); docs/CONFIGURATION.md
now states the current non-Claude `use_worktrees` default rather than
describing capability-scoped stamping that lands with #2652; resolver
precedence comments updated to name the marker rung.

Refs #2486
Refs #2668

* fix(#2486): split the marker rung out; make the use_worktrees doc row order-independent

Round-8 review. trek-e's Blocker was procedural — commit 10fba7b8 moved the
per-install .gsd-runtime marker rung into the canonical resolver, a large
blast-radius change that arrived undisclosed and unreviewed. They offered
two remedies; taking the second: SPLIT IT OUT.

src/runtime-slash.cts and src/model-resolver.cts are reverted to their next
state and the marker regression test is removed. What remains is what this
PR was filed for: the settings.md / health.md / gsd-tools.cjs isolation
query, W024, and the #2668 docs restoration.

COST, stated plainly rather than buried: without that rung this PR's gate
resolves 'claude' on a non-Claude install whose project config carries no
`runtime` key — which is every config config-new-project writes. On those
installs W024 stays quiet and /gsd-settings still offers Worktrees. The gate
is correct whenever the runtime IS resolvable (GSD_RUNTIME set, or an
explicit config.runtime). That is why `Fixes #2486` is already downgraded to
`Refs` — #2486 must not close until the residual lands. A KNOWN LIMITATION
comment at the resolver call site names #2395 so this does not read as an
oversight.

The rung itself belongs to #2395, which reports this exact defect and was
closed by #2446 — a PR that touched only bin/install.js and fixtures and
never runtime-slash.cts, so it persisted the identity into
~/.gsd/defaults.json, a tier resolveRuntime does not read. Evidence and a
reopen request are posted there. That same tier is #2566's B1.

DOCS — the reviewer flagged that this row and #2728's are order-dependent:
whichever merges second falsifies the other. Removed the dependency instead
of picking an order. The "Current default … until #2652" paragraph is now a
plain troubleshooting note, true before and after #2728 lands.

CONFLICT — one hunk in CONTEXT.md: next added the #2596 scope-conformance
interface to the same Worktree-Safety paragraph where this PR corrected the
`worktree create` UNCONSUMED claim. Resolved keeping both.

Verified: lint:ci green. Full suite clean apart from the pre-existing
#1160 installed-runtime capability surface. (emitted-attribution also failed
until the fork's stale next was fast-forwarded — it defaults to origin/next,
which was 131 commits behind; 175/175 against the current base.)

Refs #2486
Refs #2668

* fix(#2486): address round-9 review — distinguish "cannot resolve" from "declares none", reject recording-only args on the read verb

Codex review of the whole PR, five findings, all verified against source first.

Major 3 (the one real defect). Both surfaces read isolation as
`ISOLATION=$(… || echo "none")`, so a resolver failure became indistinguishable
from a genuine `dispatch.isolation: none` declaration — and W024's text then
asserts the latter, telling a user their runtime declares no executor-isolation
primitive when GSD simply could not find out. health.md and settings.md now
capture the raw value and track ISOLATION_RESOLVED, the same shape
references/dispatch-isolation-gate.md already uses (#2652 review). W024 gained a
second message for the unresolved case; settings still fails closed there — it
must never persist a `true` it cannot justify — but reports what happened rather
than a verdict it never reached.

Major 4. `dispatch-isolation` applies --force-isolation AFTER the shared
resolver returns; inspection accepted the flag and silently ignored it, so the
same argv yielded 'none' from one verb and the declared capability from the
other. inspect-dispatch-isolation now rejects --force-isolation/--phase/--plan
as usage errors. Verified by mutation: disabling the guard reds exactly the
three new rejection tests.

Major 1. settings.md claimed this flow and the execution guards "always reach
the same verdict". False while quick.md still gates on the runtime name: an
orchestrator-worktree host can be offered a `true` that /gsd:quick rejects as
fatal, W024 silent because isolation is not none. Scoped the claim to the
capability gate, named #2728 as the conversion, and added the same caveat to the
CONFIGURATION.md use_worktrees row. Not a behavior change — the `!= none` branch
is untouched base behavior.

Major 2. "side-effect-free" overstated it: every gsd-tools invocation runs the
shared bootstrap, and getActiveWorkstream unlinks a stale workstream pointer.
That is pre-existing, verb-independent and cannot block a dispatch; writing the
sentinel can. Renamed the claim to "sentinel-free" everywhere and documented
precisely what is and is not asserted.

Minor 5. The JSON parity test asserted against a handwritten key list and never
invoked the recording verb, so the two could diverge and stay green. It now runs
`dispatch-isolation --json` in a separate project dir and deep-compares, with a
control asserting that verb DID write a sentinel. Added the orchestrator exec
branch (--cwd-target) the registry parity test never covered.

runtime-converters.test.cjs pinned the old `|| echo "none"` line as canonical —
that literal was the Major 3 defect. Repinned as two invariants (the raw read is
present; the collapsing fallback is absent) plus an ISOLATION_RESOLVED
requirement, so reformatting does not fail the test but a semantic regression
does.

settings.md sits at 40777 bytes against the 40960 DEFAULT hard cap. The
round-9 prose was compressed to fit rather than raising the cap.

Validated: lint:ci clean; full suite green except the two failures that
reproduce identically on pristine next @ 33fca50d (#1160 _resolveManifest, and
the #3053 quick_id tests, which compare a local-time expectation against a
TZ=UTC child and so only pass on a UTC host).

* fix(#2486): second review pass — drop a dangling reference, correct the whole unresolved branch, pin the branch behaviorally

Codex re-review of the full PR after the first round-9 pass. It confirmed Majors
1, 2 and 4 and Minor 5 fixed, and found seven more. All verified against source.

Minor 5 was mine and the worst of them: settings.md and health.md pointed at
`gsd-core/references/dispatch-isolation-gate.md`, which exists only on the #2728
branch — not in this PR and not on the merge-base. Merging this alone would have
shipped three dangling canonical-source references. Removed; the surrounding
text now stands on its own.

Major 2. The unresolved branch corrected only the two option descriptions. The
pre-selection rationale still claimed an absent key already resolves to false on
this runtime, and the explicit-true notice still stated the runtime declares no
primitive — both capability verdicts that were never reached. The substitution
rule now covers every place in that branch that asserts one.

Major 3. The repinned invariants could not catch the mutation they existed to
catch: flipping the shipped block's ISOLATION_RESOLVED=true to false left all
three green, since they only assert the raw read is present, the token appears,
and the collapsing fallback is gone. Added a behavioral test that drives the
shipped W024 block twice — resolver answering vs resolver exiting non-zero — and
asserts the two emit different text, that the unresolved branch says "could not
resolve", and that it does NOT claim the runtime has no primitive. Verified: the
true->false mutation now reds it.

Major 1. The verb fail-closes an unknown or undeclared runtime to `none` and
exits 0, so ISOLATION_RESOLVED=true means "the query answered", not "the runtime
published a declaration" — the shell cannot see an internal fallback. Exposing
provenance is an API change and out of scope here, so W024's resolved-case text
is instead written to be true of every path that reaches it ("no usable
executor-isolation primitive — declared or fail-closed from an unknown value"),
and both workflows state the limit of the signal explicitly.

Minor 4. The rejection tests regex-matched human prose, so swapping
ERROR_REASON.USAGE for UNKNOWN would have kept them green while breaking machine
consumers. They now pass --json-errors and assert reason === 'usage' on the
parsed envelope.

Minor 6. CONTEXT.md still described the verb as side-effect-free. Now
sentinel-free, consistent with the router comment and the other two surfaces.

Minor 7. 183 bytes of headroom under the 40960 hard cap was called
unacceptable, and it was — a routine 184-byte edit would have failed CI.
Compressed this PR's own settings.md prose (the #2486 block was carrying ~7.1KB
of rationale) to 40499 bytes, 458 free. Two phrases other tests pin verbatim
were restored after the first compression pass reworded them.

Validated: lint:ci clean; full suite green except the two failures that
reproduce identically on pristine next @ 33fca50d.

* fix(#2486): third review pass — placeholder table replaces the fragile substitution rule

Codex round 3 blocked the push on two Majors. Both verified and real.

Major 2 was the substantive one and my error. The round-2 fix told the model to
find and replace the string "this runtime declares no executor-isolation
primitive (dispatch.isolation: none)" — text that does not appear anywhere in
the branch. The first option description has no parenthetical, the second
asserts "absent, it already resolves to false on this runtime" (not covered at
all), and the pre-selection rationale and notice carried three more unsupported
assertions. A model following the instruction literally would have found no
match and changed nothing.

Replaced with three named placeholders — {FINDING}, {CONSEQUENCE}, {ABSENCE} —
and a two-column table giving each one's resolved and unresolved wording. Every
assertion in the branch now flows from the table, so none of them can outrun
what was actually established, and there is no string-matching to get wrong. It
is also shorter than the prose it replaced.

Major 1: the resolver catches thrown errors and returns none successfully, a
path the round-2 wording ("declared, or unknown/undeclared") did not cover.
Both surfaces now say "declared as none, or fail-closed because the capability
could not be determined", which is true of the thrown path too, and both state
that an internal resolution error is among the things the verb fail-closes.
Still not provenance — the verb cannot distinguish these for the caller — but no
longer a claim the code contradicts.

Minor 3: the behavioral test asserted only that the two branches differ and that
the resolved one omits "could not resolve", so arbitrary resolved text stayed
green. Now pins what it must positively say: the capability finding, the
fail-closed consequence, the offending key, and (both branches) the repair
command.

Minor 4: two stale artifacts the round-2 sweep missed — a test comment still
citing the #2728-only references/dispatch-isolation-gate.md, and the emitted
drift ack still describing inspection as side-effect-free. Also aligned the two
remaining router comments to sentinel-free.

* fix(#2486): fourth review pass — stop recommending a repair whose effect depends on the emit

Codex round 4, one Major and three Minors. The Major is a real hole and worth
the round.

W024 advised "remove the key from .planning/config.json so the runtime default
(false) applies". That default is not false everywhere: execute-phase.md:102,
quick.md:155 and diagnose-issues.md:62 all read the key as
`|| echo "true"`, and only `_stampNonClaudeRuntimeDefaults` rewrites them to
`--default false` on a non-Claude emit. So on an un-stamped emit the advised
repair leaves use_worktrees resolving to TRUE against isolation none — exactly
the state W024 exists to flag. Reachable in the round-3 gap: a caught internal
resolver error returns none with rc=0, so ISOLATION_RESOLVED is true and the
confident branch fires on a host whose emit was never stamped.

Fixed by removing the dependence rather than the symptom: both surfaces now say
to set workflow.use_worktrees false explicitly, and say why deleting the key is
not equivalent. The {ABSENCE} placeholder no longer claims absence resolves to
false unconditionally — it is scoped to an emit that stamped that default.

Minor: the notice and W024 hardcoded .planning/config.json, which is the wrong
file in an active workstream (settings itself resolves $GSD_CONFIG_PATH
correctly). Both now say "the project config", naming the workstream case.

Minor: the new repair pin required the literal /gsd:settings, a form documented
as no longer routable. Relaxed to accept the canonical slash and $-prefixed
forms so a correct rewording cannot fail the test.

Nit: two test descriptions still said side-effect-free.

Not fixed, deliberately: the verb still cannot tell a caught resolver error from
a declared none, so ISOLATION_RESOLVED remains a signal about the CALL, not the
declaration. Both workflows now state that limit outright. Exposing provenance
is a change to the query contract that belongs with the runtime-resolution work
in #2395, not here.

Validated: lint:ci clean; full suite green except the two failures that
reproduce identically on pristine next @ 33fca50d. The only change after that
suite run was removing a redundant regex escape flagged by eslint; that test was
re-run individually and eslint is clean.

* fix(#2486): fifth review pass — stop recommending "leave it absent" as the safe default

Codex round 5, one Major: the round-4 fix corrected the {ABSENCE} wording but
left the pre-selection rule built on the assumption it had just falsified. An
absent key still pre-selected "Leave unchanged" on the rationale that there was
nothing to repair. Absence resolves to false only where the emit stamped that
default; on an un-stamped emit it reads as true, so accepting the recommended
default could preserve the exact isolation-none-plus-true state this branch
exists to prevent.

The isolation-none branch now pre-selects "No (Recommended)" in every case,
including an absent key. Writing an explicit false is correct under either emit;
"Leave unchanged" stays available for the deliberate shared-config case but is
never the default. The test that pinned the old rule pinned a falsified
assumption, so it now pins the new one and asserts the old sentence is gone.

Also tightened the round-4 repair regex, which had been relaxed far enough to
accept `$gsd:settings` and `/gsd:settings-bogus`. It now matches only the
canonical `/gsd-settings`, `/gsd:settings` and `$gsd-settings` forms.

* fix(#2486): make the inspection exemption block-scoped, and drop the last pre-#2728 claim

Codex review of the conflict resolution: one Major, two Minors, all real.

Major. The inspection-surface exemption I added to #2728's "every dispatch-site
degrade block re-records" guard was FILE-wide. Codex probed it by adding an
unrecorded executor block to health.md: the exemption assertions still passed,
the whole file was skipped, and the offender went unreported. That is the same
hole the hand-listed revision of this guard had — a promise of "every dispatch
site" with a silent carve-out.

Now scoped per block. A block earns the exemption only by resolving through
`inspect-dispatch-isolation` AND carrying no dispatch primitive (`Agent(`,
`harnessFlag`/`HARNESS_FLAG`, `isolation="worktree"`, or the recording verb).
The file-level assertions remain as a precondition on top. Verified with Codex's
own probe: the appended dispatch block is now reported at health.md:285, while
the legitimate inspection block still passes.

Minor. settings.md still carried the caveat saying `quick.md` gates on the
runtime name and "#2728 converts that surface". #2728 has landed. Same obsolete
premise already removed from docs/CONFIGURATION.md in the merge commit; this was
the copy I missed. Removing it also returns 413 bytes, so settings.md now has
688 free under the 40960 cap rather than 275.

Minor. Four scratch-directory prefixes still read `w024` after the renumber.
Non-functional, but the whole point of the rename was that W024 now means
someone else's warning.

Validated: lint:ci clean; full suite green except the two failures that
reproduce identically on pristine next.

* fix(#2486): name the diagnostics' state INSPECTED_ISOLATION and delete the exemption

Codex probed the per-block exemption and it was still escapable: DISPATCH_PRIMITIVE
matched only `Agent(`, two harness-flag spellings, `isolation="worktree"` and the
recording verb, so `Task(`, `spawn_agent(`, a `codex exec` process dispatch, and —
unfixably by any regex — the repo's normal split shape (isolation resolved in one
bash fence, dispatch in a later one) all still qualified as exempt.

Took Codex's suggested fix, which is better than the one it replaces. The
diagnostics now name their state `INSPECTED_ISOLATION` / `INSPECTED_RESOLVED` /
`_INSPECTED_RAW` instead of reusing the dispatch-site names. #2728's guard scans
for a literal `ISOLATION=none`, so health.md and settings.md fall outside it BY
CONSTRUCTION and the exemption is deleted outright — no carve-out to escape, and
a diagnostic that ever writes a real `ISOLATION=none` is caught like any other
site. The name is also just more accurate: an inspection result is not a dispatch
decision.

Pinned so the reasoning cannot be lost: the #2486 suite now asserts neither
diagnostic assigns the bare `ISOLATION` name, with the rationale in the comment.
Verified by mutation — renaming back makes #2728's guard flag health.md:107 AND
fails the new naming pin.

Net effect on the guard's coverage is positive: before this PR it scanned two
fewer files by exemption; now it scans everything.

77374cfc32 fix(#2528): resolve digit-leading phase directories by bare number (#2559)
* fix(#2528): resolve digit-slug phase dirs by bare number — tokenizer rewind, shared bare-integer fallback, resolution-path parity gate

extractPhaseToken welded 2-digit slug words onto the phase token (phase 10
named "24/7 Autonomy" -> dir 10-24-7 -> token 10-24), making digit-prefixed
phase names unresolvable by bare number across every phase verb.

- phase-id: continuation segments must be the PURE 2-digit zero-padded form
  the write side emits; a 1-digit terminator rewinds the absorbed run
  (10-24-7 -> 10) while >=2-digit terminators keep the locked #2232
  round-trip (14-06-2026-photos -> 14-06).
- phase-id: new matchPhaseDirs owner — primary exact-token match plus a
  bare-integer leading-digit-run fallback for shapes the tokenizer cannot
  rewind (05-80-20-cleanup); collisions stay #2237-loud.
- locator/find-phase/phase-plan-index all delegate selection to the owner;
  plan-index gains the previously missing multi-match guard.
- tests: #2528 unit + fast-check metamorphic blocks; new 9-scenario
  resolution-path parity gate across all three paths.

* fix: restore phase grammar parity for numeric slugs

* docs: document digit-leading phase resolution

* docs: clarify ambiguous phase resolution behavior

* docs: register canonical phase directory selectors

* fix: align prefixed deep phase token parsing

* fix(#2528): route the fourth resolution site through matchPhaseDirs

Review BLOCKER. smart-entry.cts::detectVerifyFailed resolved the current
phase's directory with its own `.find(phaseTokenMatches)` and never
reached the shared selection, so the bare-integer-fallback family the
issue names — `05-80-20-cleanup`, `30-12-factor-refactor` — resolved
nowhere. The miss is silent by construction: an unresolved phase reports
"not failed", which is byte-identical to a healthy one, so a failed
verification simply never surfaced in /gsd or /gsd:progress.

`entries` is already sorted and matchPhaseDirs filters without
reordering, so matches[0] reproduces the previous selection exactly
wherever the old code resolved at all.

Wiring it into phase-resolution-parity.test.cjs as a fourth path then
exposed a second, older defect in the same function: phaseTokenFromDirName
shape-probed the UNSTRIPPED token, so a project-code-prefixed directory
(`MEM-05-…`, tokenizing to `MEM-05-80-20`) failed the leading-digit test
and was dropped before any resolution ran — every phase in a
project-coded plan was invisible to this check. The probe now runs on the
stripped token; the returned value is unchanged, so the comparePhaseNum
sort is untouched.

Path 4 has no JSON surface to compare, so the gate observes selection
indirectly: plant the failing artifact in exactly one directory and a
passing one everywhere else, then read the boolean. Reverting either fix
turns 5 of the 10 corpus scenarios red.

* refactor(#2528): collapse the duplicated extractCanonicalPlanId

Review MAJOR. The function existed as two independent, byte-identical
copies — src/core-utils.cts and src/phase.cts — and this PR had to patch
BOTH with the same single-digit-slug rewind rule. That is the generative
fix divergence CLAUDE.md names, and only the core-utils copy was under
test, so a future one-sided patch would have silently split plan-id
canonicalization between the plan listing and everything else.

Removed rather than parity-tested: core-utils was already the leaf owner
and already exported it, and phase.cts already imported that module, so
there is no second surface left for a parity test to police.

* test(#2528): pin matchPhaseDirs at the digit-width boundaries

Review MAJOR. The bare-integer fallback's correctness rests entirely on
capturing each directory's whole leading digit run before the zero-strip
compare; a regex that stopped short would turn every query into a prefix
match, and "1" would claim 10, 100, and 12 alike. The existing coverage
was example-based and never touched that boundary.

Adds the explicit 9/10 and 1/10/100 cases — including the forms where
only the wider directories exist, so an exact-width neighbour cannot
satisfy the assertion — plus a fast-check property over arbitrary
distinct leading runs. The property is stated as an invariant on the
result (every returned directory's leading run IS the query) rather than
an expected list, so it covers primary and fallback matches alike and
cannot be satisfied by reimplementing the selection in the test.

Both fail when the fallback regex is degraded to a prefix match.

* fix(#2528): route the remaining eight consumers through matchPhaseDirs

phaseTokenMatches had eight consumers left that each rebuilt the directory
selection around it by hand: phases-list, next-decimal, phase-remove, the
W021 milestone-consistency check, schema-drift, the init-manager overview,
milestone-complete's disk check, and roadmap analyze. Every one of them
reproduced the reported symptom in full after the tokenizer was fixed.

None of them derives a displayed phase number from the matched directory,
so none needs phaseNumberForMatch; the change at each site is the
selection and nothing else. matchPhaseDirs filters without reordering, so
matches[0] reproduces the prior .find() choice wherever the old code
resolved at all.

phaseTokenMatches now has no call sites outside phase-id.cts. It stays
exported as the primitive matchPhaseDirs is built from and as a pinned
canonical surface, but no consumer reaches past the owner to it.

* test(#2528): extend the parity gate to the migrated consumers

Each of the eight is observed through the surface a user sees, not
through the matcher, with a no-directory control so the assertions cannot
be satisfied by a consumer that resolves unconditionally. init-manager
and roadmap-analyze are additionally asserted to agree with each other.

* refactor(#2528): own the case-flexible phase grammar and the leading-digit-run fragment

validate.cts derived its case-flexible regex sources by running
`replaceAll('A-Z', 'A-Za-z')` over two constants exported by phase-id.cts.
That passes lint-phase-id-drift.cjs — there is no literal copy of the
grammar — but it depends on the owner rendering that exact substring. The
day phase-id.cts expresses the same class any other way the replaceAll
silently no-ops and validate.cts narrows to uppercase-only. The failure
mode is a NON-match, so nothing throws and no uppercase-only fixture
notices. Both variants are now derived once, beside the sources they
widen, and imported.

Also names the leading digit run the bare-integer fallback selects on.
It was spelled `/^(\d+)(?:-|$)/` where the fallback filters and `/^\d+/`
where phaseNumberForMatch reads the number back off the winner; selecting
on one run and displaying another would resolve a directory and then label
it with a number that never matched it.

* fix(#2528): refuse to remove a phase when two directories claim its number

cmdPhaseRemove was the only migrated site taking matches[0] with no
multi-match guard. Every sibling resolution path returns ambiguous_matches
and refuses to choose; this one is the DESTRUCTIVE path, so choosing
silently is strictly worse than anywhere else. With 05-80-20-a and
05-90-till-late on disk, `phase remove 5 --force` deleted one of them and
renumbered every phase after it — where the base resolved nothing, deleted
nothing, and the corpus in tests/phase-resolution-parity.test.cjs already
declared that exact input ambiguous.

The refusal is emitted before any file is touched and carries both
candidates. CONSUMER_SCENARIOS could not express the case — every row is
binary, resolving to one directory or to none — so the gate gains a
dedicated ambiguous test. It asserts on the filesystem, not only on the
reported directory_deleted: a null printed after an rmSync would satisfy
every other check.

* fix(#2528): pair digit-leading phase directories with their roadmap phase in validate health

W006/W007 are the ninth site of this bug class and the one a
`phaseTokenMatches` grep could never surface: they resolve roadmap↔disk by
intersecting TOKEN SETS, which is a dir→token labelling rather than the
query→dir selection matchPhaseDirs owns. On the canonical fixture the
label is wrong in both directions at once, so `validate health` reported
"Phase 5 in ROADMAP.md but no directory on disk" AND "Phase 05-80-20
exists on disk but not in ROADMAP.md" for the same directory.

collectDiskPhases now keeps the directory names behind each token, so
W006 can ask the canonical matcher whether a roadmap phase resolves to a
real directory, and W007 — which iterates directories and therefore has no
query to resolve — gets the inverse mapping it never had: a directory is
claimed when some roadmap phase resolves to it.

Both checks are additive: the token intersection still decides every shape
it already decided, and the resolution can only REMOVE a warning. The
regression test carries controls in the other direction — a roadmap phase
with no directory must still raise W006, an unclaimed directory must still
raise W007 — so it cannot be satisfied by a check that stopped reporting.

* docs(#2528): state and pin the directory-side scope of the bare-integer fallback

The matchPhaseDirs docblock claimed deep-decomposition lookups were
untouched. That is true of the QUERY side only — no non-bare query enters
the fallback — but the DIRECTORY side is what changed classification: a
bare `5` now reaches a lone `05-01-auth` and resolves it (phase_number
"05", phase_name "01-auth") where the base found nothing.

The widening is irreducible from directory names alone. `05-01-auth`
(sub-phase 5.1) and `30-12-factor-refactor` (phase 30 named "12-Factor
Refactor") are the same `NN-NN-<slug>` shape, and the discriminator that
would separate them — "is the second segment a valid decimal sub-phase" —
accepts `5.1` and `30.12` equally. Any rule strong enough to exclude the
first excludes the second, which is the defect #2528 exists to fix. So the
tie is broken in favour of resolving, the docblock now says so, and the
consequence is bounded where it matters: two such directories are two
matches, and every caller (including phase remove) refuses to choose.

Pins both directions, since nothing observed the directory side before.

* fix(#2528): count surviving phases by identity in phase remove's STATE resync

#2640 landed on `next` while this branch was open. Its STATE.md phase-count
resync re-derives "which directory was removed" from the query with
`phaseTokenMatches`, which is the tenth site of this issue's defect: the
bare-integer fallback resolves `05-80-20-cleanup` for query `5`, but the
token predicate does not, so the just-deleted directory is counted as still
present and the written `Total Phases` is one too high.

`targetDir` already IS the directory that was removed, and the block is gated
on it being non-null, so identity answers the question exactly — which is also
what the comment above the filter already claimed it did. This keeps
`phaseTokenMatches` out of `phase.cts` rather than re-importing it to satisfy
one call site: the module's public surface should not grow for a question that
does not need re-derivation.

Pinned in the parity gate with a control on a directory the tokenizer reads
correctly, so the assertion is about the digit-leading shape and not about the
counting rule changing for everything.

* fix(#2528): let the resolution layer own the digit-leading slug family alone

The tokenizer rewind this fix carried — pop the last absorbed continuation when
the segment that stopped the scan is a bare single digit — reads
"10-24-7-autonomy" (phase 10 named "24/7 Autonomy") correctly and silently
re-reads "10-24-7-zip" (sub-phase 10.24 named "7-Zip Integration") from "10-24"
to "10". The two names are string-identical in shape, so no local signal
separates them; the rule traded the reported ambiguity for the symmetric one a
level down, on a 15-caller chokepoint whose output also feeds query-less
derivations (STATE.md phase counts, W007, the #2562 key surface). A well-formed
sub-phase directory became unresolvable by its own id — the very symptom #2528
was filed about.

It also bought nothing. The bare-integer fallback in matchPhaseDirs already
resolves "10-24-7-autonomy" for query "10" whatever the token is: no primary
match, bare query, leading digit run "10". The reported case was covered twice,
by two rules, and the two disagreed about the case nobody reported.

So the rewind is removed rather than narrowed, in the tokenizer and in the five
surfaces kept in lockstep with it (BRACKET_PHASE_TOKEN_SOURCE,
PHASE_TOKEN_FROM_DIR_RE, canonicalPlanStem's pair grammar and its collision
branch, roadmap-parser's numericRe, extractCanonicalPlanId), together with the
SINGLE_DIGIT_RUN_SEGMENT_SOURCE owner constant they shared. Disambiguation now
lives only where a QUERY exists to disambiguate against, which is the same
bounded mechanism the "05-80-20-cleanup" shape already used.

Measured, not argued: over 29800 generated directory names, extractPhaseToken is
byte-identical to `next` on every input except the lowercase-continuation class
("01-20a", "05-80-20-25abc") — a rule about the segment itself, not a guess about
its neighbour.

Both readings now stay reachable by their own ids:
  matchPhaseDirs(['10-24-7-autonomy'], '10')    -> the dir   (fallback)
  matchPhaseDirs(['10-24-7-zip'],      '10')    -> the dir   (fallback)
  matchPhaseDirs(['10-24-7-zip'],      '10-24') -> the dir   (primary)

* test(#2528): pin the one-continuation boundary the rewind had no coverage for

The regressing shape was invisible to the suite by construction, not by luck:
the deep-rewind property built its cases from `continuationArb` with
`minLength: 2`, so it never exercised the single-continuation case — exactly one
genuine sub-phase level before a digit-leading slug — and every hand-written
fixture used the ambiguous shape only where "phase-plus-slug" was the intended
reading.

`continuationArb` is now `minLength: 1` and the property states the invariant
instead of the old rule: for any prefix, phase, 1-5 continuations and any
one-digit terminator, the token equals the FULL continuation run on both the
imperative and the regex surface, and `matchPhaseDirs([dir], token)` returns that
dir. That third assertion is the one that catches the class on its own — the old
behaviour made a well-formed directory unresolvable by its own id, which is a
property, not a fixture.

Around it: "10-24-7-zip" and "10-24-3d-printer" now sit beside
"10-24-7-autonomy" everywhere the family is pinned, so the two readings can never
diverge again; the 24/7 metamorphic property asserts the RESOLUTION result rather
than the token (the token is precisely the part no surface may decide); the
end-to-end parity corpus gains "a sub-phase with a digit-leading slug resolves by
its full id" across all four resolution paths; and the milestone-scoping residual
is pinned in three directions rather than left to prose.

Mutation: re-inserting the rewind and rebuilding turns 9 tests red, the
`minLength: 1` property first, and nothing else. Build success checked separately
(build:lib reports 0 `error TS`), so the mutation reached the artifact under test.

* test(#2528): pin the #2946 guard against digit-leading phase directories

The #2946 fix makes the milestone-complete unstarted-phase guard run
unconditionally, so whether it fires now rides entirely on the
directory-resolution owner this PR replaces. Two cases, both with STATE.md
carrying no `milestone:` field so the #2946 path is the one exercised:

  - ROADMAP Phase 5, disk `05-80-20-cleanup` → guard must stay silent.
    RED on next (fail-closed: the guard blocks a legitimate one-way-door
    operation because phaseTokenMatches resolves neither 05 nor 80 for
    that directory).
  - ROADMAP Phase 80, same directory → guard must still fire. Green on
    both sides; it pins the fail-open direction against a future widening
    of the matcher.

* fix(#3175): stop the injection scanner reading RegExp.exec as code execution

The apostrophe fix in 27aa40f6 replaced ["\x27] with a real ["'] class.
The old class never contained an apostrophe at all (POSIX bracket
expressions do not honour backslash escapes, so it was the set ", \, x,
2, 7), so only exec(" matched. Single-quoted method calls now match for
the first time, and RegExp.prototype.exec takes a subject string, not
code: any PR touching a file that tests a regex goes red. On next, six
files match the scanner's own pattern across 16 method calls.

A plain [^[:alnum:]] boundary cannot separate the two forms because . is
not alnum, so exec gets [^[:alnum:].] and the command-execution vector
moves to a dedicated member-call pattern. Bare exec('rm -rf /'),
cp.exec(...) and child_process.exec(...) all still fire.

Mutation: reverting the boundary reds 1 test and only it; removing the
member-call pattern reds the 2 non-weakening tests and only them.

* fix(#2528): keep exec( detection receiver-blind, allowlist the two grammar suites

The left boundary [^[:alnum:].] added in 58a7b560 excluded a preceding dot,
which dropped every member-position .exec('…') from the scanner. The follow-up
receiver pattern only restored three literal spellings (child_process,
childProcess, cp), so require('child_process').exec('…') — the most common Node
spelling of the vector this pattern exists to catch — became invisible, along
with any opaque receiver (conn.exec, shelljs.exec).

Revert the pattern to its receiver-blind form and handle the RegExp.prototype
.exec false positive where the script already handles this class: per-file
ALLOWLIST entries for the two phase-token grammar suites. Mutation-checked —
removing the two entries reds exactly those two files and nothing else.

The four assertions written around the old patterns are replaced by a
table-driven set covering all six spellings, including the three the narrowed
pattern silently lost.

* docs(#2528): pin the three undeclared grammar edges, correct the ambiguity claim

Review round 10 asked for declaration, not behavior change, on four items. All
four have zero production consumers or preserve their caller's prior rule, so
each is pinned as a test or corrected in prose rather than reverted.

- BRACKET_PHASE_TOKEN_SOURCE: the (?=-|$) terminator is what keeps the bracket
  read path in step with the other surfaces, and it costs the display shapes
  (`05.03: Title`, `12A: X`, `05.03]` no longer tokenize). Pinned so widening
  the terminator class is a deliberate act rather than a lookahead deletion.
- canonicalPlanStem: uppercase plan suffixes still strip, lowercase and dotted
  sub-plans now fall through. Dead export; pinned as a decision on record.
- getMilestonePhaseFilter: `12A-01-foo` now yields `12A-01`, matching what
  `12-01-foo` has always yielded. The letter suffix was the only reason a
  sub-phase directory folded into its parent phase's milestone window; the two
  shapes now agree. Not named in the review — found auditing the same commit.
- matchPhaseDirs docblock claimed every caller refuses on multi-match. Four do;
  five take matches[0]. Replaced the claim with the actual two-tier policy and
  the honest caveat that the bare fallback makes multi-match newly reachable
  for queries that previously found nothing.

c516c39b33 fix(#3203): stop npm-global installs validating bundled agents against themselves (#3229)
* fix(#3203): stop npm-global installs validating bundled agents against themselves

getAgentsDir's claude branch derived the agents directory from __dirname,
which is correct for repo runs and runtime-config-dir installs (where
<root>/../agents IS the user's agents dir) but on an npm-global install
resolves to the package's own bundled agents/, so checkAgentsInstalled
validated the package against itself and agents_installed could never be
false. The new-project and new-milestone halt/warn gates were silently
dead for npm-global users.

Keep the install-relative path for the shapes where it is correct, but
when it lies inside a node_modules tree — the provably self-validating
case — resolve getGlobalConfigDir('claude')/agents like every other
runtime, honouring CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR. GSD_AGENTS_DIR stays priority 1.
Repair the doc comment that asserted the __dirname form was correct for
both install shapes.

Regression test mirrors the published npm-global layout (package under
node_modules with a complete bundled agents/) and pins the resolved
directory plus the issue's negative control (one agent missing from the
config dir → agents_installed:false). Verified red against pre-fix code,
green post-fix; the repo-layout W010 health test stays green.

* chore(#3203): set changeset fragment pr to 3229

* docs(#3203): describe the node_modules guard as lexical, in CONTEXT.md and at the call site

The Agent Install Check Module glossary entry asserted that Claude resolves the
agents directory `__dirname`-relative unconditionally. That is the premise this
PR falsified: on an npm-global install the install-relative path resolves to the
package's own bundled `agents/`, so the check validated the package against
itself and `agents_installed` could never be false.

The inline doc comment above `getAgentsDir` was repaired with the fix; this
external predicate was left behind and has been false since. CONTRIBUTING.md's
`Fixed`-fragment docs exemption names this case explicitly — "Edit the docs
anyway if a fix corrects something the docs got wrong."

Both surfaces now describe the guard as what it is: an exact, case-sensitive
path-segment test that TARGETS those layouts rather than detecting them, so
neither claims more certainty than the predicate has. The call-site comment
carried the same conflation the glossary did. A path merely carrying a directory
of that name resolves the same way — the edge already disclosed on this PR — and
a non-empty GSD_AGENTS_DIR overrides it.

Comment-only in `src/`; no behaviour change.

`CONFIG.LOCATION.SEAM.two-families` needs no change: `GSD_AGENTS_DIR ->
getAgentsDir priority 1` is still accurate.

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

* fix(#2652): use the /gsd:<cmd> namespace in the isolation degrade messages

so the quick.md size budget is unaffected.

* fix(#2652): normalize dispatch-site paths to forward slashes for Windows

path.relative() returns backslash-separated paths on Windows, so the
#2652 dispatch-site parity test compared "gsd-core\workflows\quick.md"
against the hardcoded forward-slash literal "gsd-core/workflows/quick.md"
and failed on every windows-latest CI lane. Normalize with
.replace(/\\/g, '/'), matching the existing convention used elsewhere in
this suite (e.g. tests/branch-no-track-guard.test.cjs:37).

* 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.

* 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.

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

* 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.

e87fb409ee enhance(#2573): stamp STATE.md with its commit and surface a freshness hint (#2622)
* enhance(#2573): stamp STATE.md with its commit and surface a commit-age freshness hint

Adds a `state_head` stamp to STATE.md and derives a tri-state commit-age
freshness proxy (state_commits_behind / state_commit_stale) through
state.cjs's readStateHeadFreshness, surfaced on smart-entry signals and as
health W024. The proxy is advisory: classify() deliberately does NOT consume
it (ADR-1787 locks the classification/routing boundary — a signal, not a route).

Composes with #3099 and #1882 (both merged to next after this branch): the
commit-age proxy reads `state_head` while the LAST_ACTIVITY_UNPARSEABLE
diagnostic reads `last_activity` — two different fields, not "two staleness
signals on one field." A new regression test asserts a STATE.md carrying both
an unparseable last_activity AND a valid state_head resolves each independently
(diagnostic fires once; freshness reads state_head, commits_behind 0).

Rebased onto next (flattened): resolved the add/add conflicts in
src/smart-entry.cts (kept both the #2573 freshness import/derivation and the
#3099 diagnostic import/call) and tests/smart-entry.unit.test.cjs (kept both
describe blocks). Drift-ack for health.md's W024 row is unchanged (12348 B).
Tests: smart-entry 62, state/state-transition/health/verify 639, all pass.

* chore(#2573): allowlist health-validation test in the prompt-injection scan

The scanner's `exec('` code-execution pattern matches the benign
`re.exec('<phase-id>')` RegExp method calls in the phase-ID grammar tests
(pre-existing: 16 such calls on next, this PR adds none). The file entered the
diff-mode scan's changed-file set only because #2573's W024 state_head
assertions touch it. Allowlist it alongside the other test files that carry
pattern-matching content as data (same DEFECT.PROMPT-INJECTION-SCAN-COLLISION
class). Scanner self-test 38/0; diff scan 14 files, 0 findings.

7a7bf19fc1 enhance(#2872): record scope and runtime in the install manifest (#3323)
* enhance(#2872): record scope and runtime in the install manifest

gsd-file-manifest.json gains manifestVersion, runtime and scope, and a new
read-only Installed Surface Resolver Module reads both install scopes for a
runtime in one call -- the first code path in the repo that does.

Phase 3 of epic #2866 (ADR-2866). Blocks Phase 4 (#2873), which resolves
#2218: the resolver's shadowedBy field is that defect expressed as a value
for the first time. It ships computed-and-unread here.

Installed-ness is decided by manifest PRESENCE, never by the new fields, so
a manifest written by an older GSD stays fully functional and no user needs
to reinstall. Recorded runtime/scope are corroboration: a disagreement with
the probed config dir is reported as declaredScopeMatchesProbe: false, never
silently corrected.

readInstallManifest is widened additively -- version/timestamp/mode/files
keep their exact names, types and meanings for all four existing callers.
manifestVersion is a new field rather than a reinterpretation of version,
which holds the package version and is read by the golden-parity fixtures.

Stems are derived from the installed manifest's own file keys, the inverse
of Phase 2's filename composition, guarded by a fast-check round-trip
property plus a kebab-case charset check so a crafted manifest key cannot
put a traversal segment, control character or ANSI escape into a trigger
that Phase 4 renders back to the user.

Also fixes two defects found while working:
- bin/install.js hardcoded manifestVersion: 2 while the reader owned
  MANIFEST_SCHEMA_VERSION = 2. Now single-sourced, with a parity test.
- docs/installer-migrations.md documented an install-state schema of five
  snake_case fields that have never been written; InstallState has only ever
  been { schemaVersion, appliedMigrations }. Corrected with a dated note.

Verification runs on the remote runner.

* fix(#2872): fold review findings from three independent engines

Standards axis:
- convert the manifest-schema suite from a hybrid setup(t) closure to
  beforeEach/afterEach (CONTRIBUTING.md:319-354 Pattern 1). The hybrid was
  neither approved pattern and a new test forgetting the call got no warning.
- SCOPE_ORDER was declared twice with no parity test -- this repo's recorded
  generative-fix-divergence class. Give the ordering one owner: install-scope
  exports it frozen, the layout module and the resolver both import it, and a
  test locks it against scopeRank so the constant and the ranks cannot drift.
- drop the defaultReadManifest passthrough (Middle Man).

Spec axis:
- add the VOLATILE_FILES exclusion test and source comment the acceptance
  table promised and did not deliver. gsd-file-manifest.json stays excluded:
  the new fields are deterministic, but timestamp -- the original reason --
  is unchanged.

Security axis:
- bound the reported manifest runtime at 64 chars, matching the
  truncatePostureValue convention already used in this subsystem. It reached
  declaredRuntime unbounded while the adjacent stems were gated by SAFE_STEM;
  an inconsistent posture on the same attacker-influenceable document. The
  charset stays ungated on purpose -- declaredRuntimeMatchesProbe needs to see
  the real value -- so Phase 4 must sanitize before rendering, recorded in the
  design's Known limits.

Both new parity tests were verified to FAIL when the two sides are made to
disagree, then pass again on revert. Verification runs on the remote runner.

* chore(#2872): backfill changeset pr number to 3323

* fix(#2872): give git fixture construction its own timeout class

PR #3323's full test (windows-latest, 22, shard 2/3) failed with

  gitOrThrow: 'git init' failed -- outcome=timed_out exitCode=null
  gitOrThrow: 'git commit --allow-empty' failed -- outcome=timed_out

from drift-detection.test.cjs's beforeEach, a file this branch never touched.
Every other lane passed the same commit, including windows-latest node 24 on
all three shards, and next is green.

Root cause is a bound sized for the wrong class. DEFAULT_GIT_TIMEOUT_MS is
15000 and its own comment scopes it to plumbing READS -- rev-parse, branch,
log -- against an existing repo. createFixture uses it for six sequential
repo-CONSTRUCTION spawns: init, three config writes, add -A, commit. init and
commit each write dozens of files, and on Windows every spawn is
Defender-scanned. Sibling tests in the failing block took 15.6-22.0s against
a 15000ms bound.

This repo already diagnosed this exact shape once: timeouts.cjs's
HOOK_FANOUT_TIMEOUT_MS records PR #3285 failing in the SAME job with the SAME
outcome=timed_out exitCode=null signature at the SAME bound while every other
lane passed, and concludes 'a bound sized for the wrong class, not a slow
machine'. It was fixed by splitting out a heavier class-norm at 60000. Same
remedy here: GIT_FIXTURE_TIMEOUT_MS = 60000, 4x the bound that failed and half
INSTALL_TIMEOUT_MS.

DEFAULT_GIT_TIMEOUT_MS deliberately stays at 15000 -- a blanket raise would
stop a genuinely hung plumbing read from surfacing fast.

Verified the value reaches the spawn rather than being an ignored option:
spawnSync was monkeypatched before requiring the fixture module, and all six
git construction calls were captured carrying timeout: 60000.

This branch's two new test files shift shard composition, which is how a
pre-existing fragility landed in the heaviest shard on the slowest lane.
Fixed here rather than deferred, per the no-defer rule.

Verification runs on the remote runner.

* chore(#2896): convert CONTEXT.md prose defect registry into enforced gates

Squashes the prior 4-commit sequence and fixes defects found while
resuming this branch: 5 orphaned/corrupted DEFECT fragment lines left
by an earlier botched edit, 17 "Source of truth: Memtrace `find_symbol`"
placeholders that had destroyed real file-path citations, and 3
DEFECT.GENERATIVE-* entries merged into one RULESET.GENERATIVE-FIX
predicate (policy, not an unenforced defect) to satisfy the zero
DEFECT.<NAME>.<field>= acceptance criterion.

Six mechanizable defects get real gates: DEFECT.UNBOUNDED-SUBPROCESS
(eslint-rules/require-subprocess-timeout.cjs), DEFECT.CANARY-VERSION-LEAK
(scripts/lint-canary-version-leak.cjs + version-gate.yml),
DEFECT.CHANGESET-PR-FIELD-DRIFT (findPrFieldDrift in changeset/lint.cjs),
DEFECT.FRONTMATTER-SCALAR-BROAD-GREP, DEFECT.REMOVED-BUT-NEEDED, and
DEFECT.DEFAULT-FLIP-DOCUMENTATION (new lint scripts, wired into lint:ci).
Already-enforced and unenforceable prose entries are deleted; the gate

The 4 new test files for this PR's lint checks called cp.spawnSync/

Pre-existing drift on next, unrelated to this PR's own change, surfaced
by running lint:ci as part of verifying #2896: two cli_modules
(claude-orchestration.cjs, write-set.cjs) landed without a manifest
regen, and CONTEXT.md's own edits in this PR staled its two generated
indexes. Adds the missing docs/INVENTORY.md row for
claude-orchestration.cjs (write-set.cjs already had one — only its
manifest entry was stale) and regenerates

* fix(#2896): default-flip-documentation lint's local fallback base was main, not next

Found in review: every other base-ref fallback in this repo (see
scripts/changeset/lint.cjs's DEFAULT_BASE, #2988) defaults to `next`,
the integration branch every PR actually targets — `main` is the
release branch. This script's local fallback (used only when
GITHUB_BASE_REF is unset, i.e. never in CI, but potentially on a local
or direct invocation) diffed against the wrong ref. No test exercised
the unset-env-var path, so it shipped unnoticed; every e2e test sets
GITHUB_BASE_REF explicitly and is unaffected by this fix.

* fix(#2896): stale eslint comment, overclaiming CONTEXT.md wording, and an incompletely-regenerated manifest

Found by the isolated Standards code-review pass:
- eslint.config.mjs's require-subprocess-timeout comment said "'warn'
  for now... flip to 'error' once migrated" while the rule already
  shipped as 'error' with all 8 sites migrated in the same commit —
  described a state that never existed.
- The CONTEXT.md pointer block claimed the rule's bounded call sites
  "never throw", but roadmap-upgrade.cts's pre-mutation clean-tree
  check correctly still throws on failure (it gates a destructive
  real-run migration; degrading to "assume clean" would risk clobbering
  uncommitted work) — softened the claim to describe both shapes
  accurately instead of overclaiming one.
- docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json's claude-orchestration.cjs/write-set.cjs
  entries from the prior "fix: register claude-orchestration.cjs..."
  commit didn't actually land — re-running the generator now includes
  them; lint:generated-sync is green.

e201cde73c refactor(#3186): one shared phase-completion predicate, disk-strict (#3306)
* docs(#3186): record the disk-strict completion decision in ADR-3180 7.4

The maintainer decided #2957 on 2026-08-08: disk state is authoritative and a
ROADMAP checkbox is a human annotation with no machine authority. Section 7.4
still carried the OPEN QUESTION and was marked blocked, so the contract said one
thing and the tracker another.

Recorded per section 7's own rule - a behavior not stated there is not decided,
and amending a rule is an ADR amendment rather than a code change with a comment.
The decision comment names Phase 4's PR as the carrier of this edit and makes it
an acceptance criterion that the text be in the tree before implementation
begins, so this lands first, alone, ahead of any code.

Also clears the stale blocked-on-2957 row in the guard roster.

* refactor(#3186): one shared phase-completion predicate, disk-strict

isPhaseComplete in verification.cts becomes the single owner. It calls
readVerificationStatus UNCONDITIONALLY - plan count is not a precondition - so a
zero-plan phase with a passing VERIFICATION.md is complete. That is #3168: init
gated the read on a plan count and synthesized a not_required sentinel, so
phase.complete succeeded while init.manager reported incomplete for the same
phase.

The guard, built and run before scope was fixed per Amendment 3, found 9
re-derivations where the ADR named 3. Four were unnamed, including one in the
prompt layer: mvp-phase.md ORed a ticked checkbox with disk status, which under
disk-strict is the divergence itself.

Per the #2957 decision, a ticked ROADMAP checkbox is a human annotation with no
machine authority. The overrides in roadmap analyze and init manager are deleted
rather than generalized; the user's checkbox stays in ROADMAP.md, only its
authority goes.

scanPhasePlans.completed and buildWorkstreamInventory are deliberately NOT folded
- they answer 'are all plans summarized', which is a different question, and
folding them would either over-report completion or invert the dependency
direction between Phase 1's owner and this one.

Verified on the remote runner.

* fix(#3186): close seven review findings and record the missing-verdict rule

The isolated review reproduced a write-path regression I introduced: migrating
cmdRoadmapUpdatePlanProgress dropped its summaryCount>=planCount gate, so a phase
with a fresh passing verification plus a newly-added unsummarized plan reported
complete AND wrote a checkbox into ROADMAP.md while phase complete refused. The
owner stays right per 7.4 - plan count is not a completion precondition - so the
gate is restored at the write site as an explicit composition, mirroring the
separate 2648 unexecuted-plan gate cmdPhaseComplete already carries.

The spec axis was right that my 0.x-split reasoning was too permissive. The 2957
decision names buildStateFrontmatter as one of the three that must converge, and
buildWorkstreamInventory combined a summaries-met local with verification data to
decide the same verdict - Decision 4(c)'s named bypass, and it reproduced 3168 in
a third surface. Both now route through the owner. The raw scanPhasePlans helper
stays: it answers are-plans-summarized, which genuinely is a different question.

Maintainer decision recorded in 7.4: a missing verdict is not a passing one, so
an absent VERIFICATION.md means not complete everywhere. That retires 2645's
verifier-disabled tolerance and inverts its Goodhart incentive - deleting the
evidence now lowers completion instead of raising it.

Guard hardened: block-form count gates and algebraic restatements are caught, and
the header now discloses its remaining limits instead of overclaiming.

Verified on the remote runner.

* fix(#3186): route state sync through the owner and catch bare completed reads

The matrix found 52 failures. 51 were fixtures asserting the old semantics: a
phase with plans and summaries but no VERIFICATION.md used to count complete and
correctly no longer does. Each fixture now carries a passing verification where
that is what the test was actually about, rather than having its assertion
weakened.

The 52nd was a real 10th re-derivation the guard could not see. cmdStateSync
destructured scanPhasePlans().completed directly - a bare field read, not a
comparison - and used it as a completion verdict, so state sync and state json
disagreed on completed_phases for identical disk state. Routed through the owner.

Guard gains shape (d): any read of .completed off a scanPhasePlans() result
outside plan-scan.cts, in chained, destructured and indirect forms, function
scoped with no line window. It cannot tell a summaries-met read from a completion
read - that is data flow - so it flags every one and requires a written-reason
exemption, which is the same discipline shapes a-c already use. The blind spot is
disclosed in the header rather than overclaimed.

The emitted-attribution failure was also mine, not pre-existing: the mvp-phase.md
checkbox-OR removal moves emitted bytes, acknowledged in tests/emitted-drift-acks.

Verified on the remote runner.

* test(#3186): give the nested-plans sync fixture a passing verification

Last 3 matrix failures were one failure echoing up two describe levels. Phase
01-alpha had plans and summaries but no VERIFICATION.md, so under disk-strict
completed stayed 0 and no Progress change was emitted - correct new behavior, not
a regression.

Added the passing verification rather than dropping the Progress expectation, so
the test still covers what #3257 is about: that a nested plans/ layout is counted
and not undercounted. Probe against the built lib confirms
Progress: 0% -> 50% alongside Total Plans in Phase: 0 -> 3.

* chore(#3186): backfill changeset PR number

pr:0 placeholder replaced with the real number now that #3306 exists.

96a82bbffb enhance(#3245): report the detected host runtime in init (#3307)
* test(#3245): failing-first coverage for host runtime detection in init

Locks the behavior epic #2313 Phase 5 must produce before any of it exists: init reports the detected host, explicit GSD_RUNTIME and config runtime still outrank detection, non-Codex sessions are untouched, and nothing is ever written to shared defaults (#2297).

* enhance(#3245): report the detected host runtime in init

init reported agent_runtime: claude inside a Codex session, and resolved agents_dir to the Claude agents root with agents_installed: true — a spuriously healthy triple. Runtime identity was only ever read from GSD_RUNTIME or an explicit runtime in .planning/config.json.

Adds a detection rung beneath both explicit sources, in a new pure module. Codex is identified from its own documented session environment (CODEX_SANDBOX / CODEX_SANDBOX_NETWORK_DISABLED), else an explicitly exported CODEX_HOME whose config.toml exists. The default ~/.codex is never probed: that file exists on every machine that has run Codex, so probing it would misreport other runtimes' sessions.

resolveRuntime keeps its exact contract and all 71 dependents, including formatGsdSlash command-style emission; only withProjectRoot consumes the new rung. Nothing is written on any path (#2297). Explicit config still wins (#2517).

* fix(#3245): make the parity guard real and single-source the marker

Four independent review passes found the generative-fix-divergence guard was vacuous: it asserted agreement at the one input where inferPreferredRuntime and detectHostRuntime do not differ, so it could not fail. It now pins the actual divergence point (CODEX_HOME set, config.toml absent) and records that the asymmetry is deliberate.

The config.toml marker is now single-sourced from update-context.cts and imported, rather than carried independently by two surfaces. tests/helpers.cjs now scrubs CODEX_SANDBOX and CODEX_SANDBOX_NETWORK_DISABLED: GSD reads them, so an ambient Codex session would otherwise make the non-codex control test fail non-deterministically.

Also: detection is throw-safe end to end rather than only around the fs probe; the Windows-join test is replaced with one that can actually fail (trailing-separator, catches hand-rolled concatenation); the #2297 no-write proof now wraps resolveReportedRuntime, the function that ships, across all three ladder outcomes.

d28ab7c8f7 enhance(#3243): sync installed codex .toml model/effort to the passive posture (#3296)
* feat(#3243): sync installed codex .toml model/effort to the passive posture

Implements ADR-2313 D7, and owns the Codex .toml typed IR that Phase 1's
review assigned to this phase.

The IR exists for a structural reason, not tidiness: this phase has to
PARSE these files, and a parser kept bug-compatible with a separate
renderer is the generative-fix-divergence shape this epic already dealt
with once for the model predicate. So Phase 2's parsing MOVES here
rather than being copied — agent-install-check now imports it, and its
test file passing unchanged is the proof the extraction altered nothing.

The load-bearing property is byte-identical round-trip: render(parse(x))
=== x. Without it a sync silently reformats a user's file — line
endings, key order, BOM, trailing newline — turning a two-line repair
into a whole-file diff in their dotfile repo. The IR keeps original
lines and removes targeted ones rather than reconstructing from parsed
fields, which is what makes that property hold.

It also reconciles a real contradiction between Phase 2 and ADR-2313. An
unterminated developer_instructions block: the reader excludes the rest
of the file, deliberately failing toward a false positive, because
misreading prose as a pin only wastes a user's time. The writer must
refuse, because proceeding on a malformed document rewrites it. A false
positive is the safe direction for a reader and the dangerous one for a
writer. So the parse reports the fact and the two consumers branch on
it — one parse, one truth, two policies, instead of two parsers that
agree today.

The sync leaves a legal real-Codex pin and its coupled effort untouched,
reported skipped rather than synced; strips a stale Anthropic or tier
model and an orphaned effort; keeps dry-run as the default; refuses any
file whose parse fails; and skips symlinks exactly as the Claude path
already did. The Claude path itself is byte-identical.

PARSE_REASON.NO_HEADER from the ADR's illustrative snippet is
deliberately not implemented — a missing header is legal, not an error,
so it would be a dead enum member that the enum-lock test then pins.

* fix(#3243): preserve per-line endings and make the codex write atomic

Two findings from an isolated review, both in the write path.

BLOCKER: mixed line endings broke the byte-identical round-trip. `eol`
was a single whole-file flag and split(/\r?\n/) discarded each line's
own terminator, so render re-joined with ONE style and normalized every
line — even with zero strips performed. A file with one CRLF line and
the rest LF came back fully converted. That falsified the A14 guarantee,
violated the design's "must not silently rewrite every line", and made
the CONTEXT.md glossary claim wrong. It was untested because A12 and B15
only cover PURE CRLF; no mixed-ending fixture existed anywhere.

Fixed by keeping each line's terminator alongside its content, so render
is a plain concatenation and a strip removes only the target line and
its own terminator. `eol` survives as informational metadata that render
never reads. Seven fixtures added for the paths nothing exercised:
mixed endings unmodified and with a strip, a lone \r, a file ending on
the block's closing ''' with no newline, multiple trailing newlines, a
BOM-only file, and an empty file.

MINOR, but it contradicted this phase's own contract: the write was
in-place open-truncate, so a failure between truncate and completion
leaves a truncated .toml — exactly what ADR-2313 says must never happen.
The Codex path now writes a sibling temp file and renames over the
target, which is atomic on one filesystem, with cleanup on failure. It
uses the repo's existing retryRenameSync rather than a hand-rolled
rename, and deliberately NOT platformWriteSync, whose normalizeContent
would mangle the very CRLF and trailing-newline bytes the round-trip
property exists to preserve.

The Claude path keeps its in-place write untouched. It has the same
shape, but changing it is not this phase's business and its tests must
stay byte-identical.

B20 previously mocked writeFileSync to throw BEFORE touching anything,
so it proved nothing about a mid-write failure — its passing comment was
true only because of how the mock was built. It now performs a real
truncated write wherever writeFileSync is called, catching both the
naive direct-to-target path and the new temp path, and asserts the
target is byte-identical afterwards with no stray temp file left.

* fix(#3243): preserve the trailing-newline state when stripping a last line

Caught by B17, one of this phase's own tests — the suite working, not a
test problem.

Content is reconstructed as the concatenation of lines[k] +
terminators[k], so a file with no trailing newline has '' as its last
terminator. removeLine spliced out both arrays at the same index, which
is right for a middle line but wrong for the last one: it dropped the
empty terminator and left the PREVIOUS line's newline in place. A file
ending `...\nmodel = "sonnet"` with no trailing newline came back
as `...\n`, gaining a newline the user never wrote.

The new last line now inherits the removed line's terminator, so a
removal leaves the file exactly as if that line had never been written.
Removing the only line yields an empty file rather than a stray
terminator.

Both stripModel and stripReasoningEffort funnel through the one
removeLine, confirmed rather than assumed, so a single fix covers both —
including the row-B7 shape where a stale model and its orphaned effort
are removed in sequence and the second removal targets the last line.

Two of the four new cases are honestly not red-first and say so in
their comments: removing a last line that HAS a trailing newline only
exposes the bug under mixed EOL, since uniform files coincidentally
have equal terminators on both sides; and removing the only line
already degenerated correctly through Array.slice. They are kept as
guards for the new branch rather than dressed up as catches.

* docs(#3243): document the codex repair path and close the loop

How-to: the Codex-400 entry added in Phase 2 told users to re-run the
installer, because that was the only repair available then. It now leads
with `effort sync` and keeps the reinstall as the alternative, with the
reason to prefer one — a reinstall regenerates the agent files
wholesale, so anyone who hand-edited theirs loses those edits. Detect,
preview, apply is now one continuous path in one place.

Reference: docs/COMMANDS.md had no `effort sync` entry at all — the same
gap `validate agents` had in Phase 2, found the same way. The entry
documents BOTH runtimes, because the command genuinely forks on runtime
and describing only the new half would misdescribe it.

The write flag is `--apply`. The design doc and test matrix both said
`--no-dry-run` throughout, which does not exist — verified against the
actual arg parser in gsd-tools.cjs before writing. Documenting a flag
that does not exist is worse than documenting nothing, because it fails
at the moment someone needs it.

Both surfaces state that only the targeted lines are removed and every
other byte is preserved. That is a user-visible guarantee rather than an
implementation note: it is the difference between a two-line diff and a
reformatted file in someone's dotfile repo, it is what the IR's
round-trip property exists to deliver, and writing it down makes it a
contract a future change has to break knowingly.

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

* fix(#3243): inherit the trailing-newline state, not the line ending style

My previous rule was subtly wrong and this phase's own test caught it.

"The new last line inherits the removed line's terminator" copies the
removed line's STYLE as well as its presence. A26 uses mixed endings on
purpose — line one terminated \r\n, the model line terminated \n — so
inheriting silently rewrote line one's ending to \n. That is precisely
the defect class the mixed-EOL blocker fix existed to eliminate,
reintroduced one layer down by the fix for it.

The correct rule inherits the EMPTINESS only. If the removed line had no
terminator, the new last line loses its own, preserving "this file has
no trailing newline". Otherwise the new last line keeps its own
terminator: it is already a newline, and already the right style for
that line.

A26's assertion moved too, and that deserves saying plainly rather than
burying: it previously encoded my wrong rule. Changing a test to match
the implementation is usually the mistake, so it was checked from first
principles instead — a file whose first line ends \r\n and whose last
line ends \n, with that last line removed entirely, must be the first
line with its own \r\n intact. The new expectation is what the user's
file should actually look like; the old one was wrong.

A29 adds the interaction nothing covered: the compounding case (strip a
stale model, then its orphaned effort, the second removal landing on the
last line) with non-uniform endings either side. The two fixes meet
there and nothing exercised the meeting point.

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

* fix(#3243): drop the phantom trailing line from the IR representation

Root cause, not another patch on the removal rule. Three consecutive
fixes there each surfaced the next issue, which was the signal that the
data model was wrong.

splitPreservingTerminators left a phantom empty final entry for any file
ending in a newline: "a\nb\n" became lines ['a','b','']. So for the
common case the real last content line was NOT the last array element,
removeLine's isLastLine check never matched it, and every rule I gave
was reasoning about the wrong element.

What hid it: render was already a plain concatenation, so a phantom
empty line with an empty terminator contributes nothing to the output.
A14's byte-identical round-trip could never have caught it — the defect
is byte-neutral until a removal shifts the index arithmetic under it.
That is worth recording, because "the round-trip test is green" was
exactly the reassurance that kept the search pointed elsewhere.

The representation is now 1:1 — terminators[i] follows lines[i] and may
be '' — with no phantom, verified across empty, no-trailing-newline,
trailing-newline, blank-line and mixed-CRLF inputs. render stays a plain
concat and needs no special cases. With the phantom gone the removal
rule is correct as stated and finally applies to the genuinely last
element.

Consumers checked rather than assumed: the block-range detector and
header scanner are agnostic to array shape, and Phase 2's reader uses
its own independent split, so tests/agent-install-check.test.cjs is
untouched and still passes unchanged.

One test expectation was wrong and is corrected rather than quietly
adjusted: A18 asserted a 7-element terminators array whose trailing ''
was the phantom itself. It now asserts the six real terminators, which
is what the invariant lines.length === terminators.length requires.

c28134ab39 fix(#3271): delete 25 duplicated folded test suites and fix three runner defects found doing it (#3285)
* test(#3271): guard against a folded suite appearing twice in one host

Adds local/no-duplicate-fold-marker, an AST rule that reports the second and
every subsequent `folded:<name>` marker in a host file, plus RuleTester cases
and a tree-wide regression assertion.

Failing-first on purpose: the rule is registered at error and the 25 duplicated
regions are still present, so eslint and the new tree-wide test are RED. The
deletions land in the next commit.

The marker key is the whitespace-delimited token after `folded:` — not the
issue's `[a-z0-9-]*` slice, which truncates at `.` and false-positives on
tests/model-resolver.test.cjs where feat-443-effort-fast-mode.integration and
feat-443-effort-fast-mode are two distinct folded suites.

Refs #3271

* fix(#3271): delete 25 duplicated folded suites from three install hosts

Three consolidated install suites each carried a verbatim second copy of a
contiguous run of #1969 B1 folded blocks. Byte-identical, constant offset, and
green — each duplicated block registered and ran twice on every lane.

  tests/install.test.cjs                   5981-9937  (3957 lines, 18 blocks)
  tests/install-minimal-hooks.test.cjs     2734-4015  (1282 lines,  5 blocks)
  tests/install-write-confinement.test.cjs 1754-2321  ( 568 lines,  2 blocks)

Introduced by 6d072435d (#1975 re-applying #1970's hunks on a tree that already
had them, 2026-07-03) — one stale-base re-application, three files, one commit.
Verified by marker-count bisect: 1 at 4f779eda4 and 0cc7a1a42, 2 from 6d072435d
onward.

The later copy is deleted in each case, so every file returns to what its
authoring batch produced and blame on the surviving lines stays accurate.
local/no-duplicate-fold-marker, red on the previous commit, is now green.

tests/model-resolver.test.cjs is untouched: the issue lists it, but its two
blocks are folded from two different files and are not identical. It is a false
positive of the issue's own grep, whose `[a-z0-9-]*` key truncates at `.`.

Fixes #3271

* test(#3271): property-test marker identity and pin the alias non-goal

Three review findings, all fixed inline:

1. foldMarkerOf is a parser and carried no fast-check property test. Raised
   independently by the /code-review standards axis and the isolated adversarial
   pass; the file already establishes the fc.property-driving-ruleTester idiom
   for a sibling rule. Added, two arms over markers generated from [a-z0-9-._]:
   the same marker twice always reports exactly once against firstLine 1, and
   two distinct markers never collide. The alphabet includes `.` on purpose —
   an implementation keyed on the issue's [a-z0-9-]* slice passes arm 1 and
   fails arm 2, which is exactly the model-resolver false positive.

2. meta.docs.category was the novel value 'Test hygiene'; all 16 sibling local
   rules use 'Best Practices', 'Portability' or 'Reliability'. Now
   'Best Practices'.

3. A call through a further alias (const d = __foldDescribe) was unreported and
   undocumented — accidental rather than deliberate. It is now the fourth entry
   in the rule's documented non-goals, with the reason, and pinned by a valid
   RuleTester case so it cannot drift silently.

Refs #3271

* test(#3271): name the step and elapsed time when a baseline build fails

buildBaselineAtRef runs four bounded steps and, when one exceeded its bound,
threw a bare "spawnSync ETIMEDOUT" naming neither the step nor how long
anything took. Diagnosing one real failure took four separate experiments to
recover information the throw already had.

Each step is now timed, and any throw carries the breakdown: which step failed,
its elapsed time, the timings of every step that completed before it, all three
bounds, and the tail of the child's captured stdout/stderr.

The failure message is deliberately the carrier. On the remote runner the
captured output field comes back empty in failures.json while error and stack
survive verbatim, so the message is the only channel that reaches a reader of a
remote verdict.

Refs #3271

* fix(#3271): size the baseline generator bound for the machine it runs on

Instrumentation from a real remote-runner failure gave the breakdown:

  git-worktree-add=15.1s  npm-run-build-lib=19.8s  gen-emitted-baseline=FAILED@300.1s

Steps 1 and 2 are comfortable. Only the generator exceeds its bound, and it is
not hung — it needs more than 300s there.

Measured ladder for that step: ~22s idle in a container, ~39s end-to-end in a
clean container, ~142s with 8 CPU burners on 8 cores, and >300s under the real
suite. Its cost is 19 sequential installer spawns, and spawn latency is exactly
where a container degrades worst (3.9x slower than host, against 1.1x for file
IO) — which is why a CPU-only load test did not reproduce it and why four
earlier hypotheses (container slowness, network, shallow clone, CPU contention)
all measured clean.

The 300s bound was sized on an idle machine for a step that never runs on one.
Under the remote runner the on-disk baseline cache is structurally absent — CI
restores it via actions/cache keyed on github.event.pull_request.base.sha, a key
that exists only inside GitHub Actions — so this slow path runs on every remote
verification. The result: this gate has passed 0 times in 754 runs, failing 80
times and never once executing successfully.

Raised to the 600000ms ceiling that local/no-unbounded-spawn treats as the
largest meaningful bound; the other two bounds are untouched. This makes the
gate RUN, which is the point: the alternative considered and rejected was
degrading the timeout to a skip, and that was measured to turn the suite green
with the gate silently not running at all.

The real remedy is making the cache reachable from the remote runner so the
in-job build returns to being the rare fallback ADR-2719 §5 describes. That is a
gsd-test-runner change, not one this repo can make.

Refs #3271

* fix(#3271): tolerate an overlay source that vanishes mid-walk

Observed on the remote runner, three runs across three different branches:

  ENOENT: no such file or directory, link '/work/hooks/dist/gsd-config-reload.js'
    -> '/tmp/gsd-2930-overlay-6nOZay/hooks/dist/gsd-config-reload.js'

buildOverlayRepo enumerates names with readdirSync and then acts on each one, so
statSync, copyFileSync and linkSync all sit in a TOCTOU window. hooks/dist is
regenerated by an ATOMIC REPLACE (scripts/build-hooks.js unlinks and renames), so
any concurrently running test that rebuilds hooks retires a just-listed name
mid-walk and the overlay dies on it. linkOrCopyFile already tolerated EXDEV and
EPERM; ENOENT went straight through.

On ENOENT the source is now re-examined ONCE rather than slept on. An atomic
rename is a single syscall, so by the time the failure surfaces the successor is
either already in place (the retry succeeds) or the path has genuinely left the
tree, in which case there is nothing to mirror and the leaf is skipped. No sleep
and no spin: a timing-based wait here would be the very flake being fixed. Every
other errno still propagates untouched, so a real permission or IO fault stays a
hard failure.

Five tests hold the boundary: gone-for-good skips without retrying, mid-replace
retries exactly once and places the file, EACCES still throws, a real linkSync
ENOENT is injected by monkeypatching fs and restoring it in a finally (never a
mode-bit trick, which root bypasses), and isMissingPath accepts only ENOENT.

Refs #3271

* fix(#3271): order the timeout ladder inward-out and lock it

Two review blockers, both real.

The generator bound had been raised to 600000ms — exactly the whole-chunk timeout
in scripts/run-tests.cjs:973. A step bound equal to the chunk ceiling loses the
race: the chunk is killed first and the failure arrives as an opaque "no failed
step" kill, so the per-step diagnostic added a commit earlier was built and then
made unreachable in the same change.

Separately the #2767 test declared a per-test timeout of 300000ms, BELOW the
inner bound it was meant to permit, so it could still die at the exact 300s
ceiling this was supposed to lift — via node:test's timeout rather than
spawnSync's. Its sibling declared 900000ms, above the chunk ceiling, which is the
same opaque-kill hazard from the other direction.

The three bounds only produce a useful failure if they fire inward-out, so they
now do: step 360s, per-test 480s, chunk 600s. 360s is ~3x the passing observation
(91.6s / 115.8s) and 20% above the censored 300.1s timeout, while leaving 240s of
chunk headroom for every other file sharing it. Four tests lock the ordering,
including a drift guard on the exported values — without it, editing a call
site's literal timeout would leave the ordering assertions passing while the real
ladder inverted.

Also from review:

- err.gsdBaselineStep and err.gsdBaselineTimings were written and never read
  anywhere in the tree; only the rewritten message is consumed. Removed rather
  than kept as speculative surface.
- buildOverlayRepo discarded placeVanishableLeaf's boolean at both call sites, so
  a vanished leaf left the overlay with no accounting at all. It now collects the
  skipped paths and warns once. Not thrown: a source that left the tree really is
  not part of the snapshot, and throwing would reintroduce the crash the
  tolerance removes — but silence would let a dropped leaf resurface later as an
  unrelated missing-file assertion.
- The instrumentation commit shipped no test. One now drives a real failure and
  asserts the message names the step, its elapsed time, and the bounds.

Refs #3271

* chore(#3271): backfill the changeset PR number

* fix(#3271): bound a hook fan-out as its own class, not as a bare probe

CI failure on PR #3285, job full test (windows-latest, 22, shard 2/3) — every
other lane green, including windows-latest node 24 across all three shards:

  not ok 1 - blocks push when any to-be-pushed commit matches local blocked regex
    error: bash .githooks\pre-push failed — outcome=timed_out exitCode=null stderr=
    duration_ms: 15040.2168

A bound, not a hang: the test supplies stdin via input:, so the hook is not
blocked reading its ref list, and the duration lands exactly on the 15000ms
bound.

The site used PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS, which tests/helpers/timeouts.cjs documents as "a
single short CLI query or node -e probe against a temp fixture". This is not
that. It spawns bash running .githooks/pre-push, and the hook then invokes a MOCK
git that is itself a bash script, so one runHook is roughly four Git Bash spawns.
On Windows each is Defender-scanned and the first hook test in a file pays cold
start on top. That module's own docstring warns against precisely this: a call
site that differs from its class must not be forced onto a shared value that does
not describe it.

HOOK_FANOUT_TIMEOUT_MS is that missing class — 60000ms, 4x the bound that failed
and half INSTALL_TIMEOUT_MS, which is the right order: a hook fan-out is much
lighter than a full installer run and far heavier than reading back a version
string. Two tests lock the ordering against both neighbours, including one
asserting real margin over the censored 15040ms observation, since a bound that
merely matched what was measured would be the same defect again.

Scoped deliberately: the other ~360 runHook sites keep their current bounds. This
adds the norm and applies it where a real failure demonstrated the need, rather
than sweeping a value across sites with no evidence for any of them.

2dbee3ebdd enhance(#2229): add three-way claim disposition (admit/refute/abstain) to /gsd-explore research pass (#2543)
Closes #2229.

Each claim surfaced by /gsd-explore's research pass is dispositioned admit, refute, or abstain, with abstentions routed to a visible ledger instead of being smoothed into confident prose. Refute and abstain are separated by whether the disagreeing source is authoritative for that claim; a strong prior is never authoritative alone.

Two guards ride with it: conflict-abstention, and a tier floor that presents a would-be admit as an abstain when the researcher's resolved tier is the budget tier or cannot be determined.

To make that floor enforceable, resolve-model now emits the effective tier (--pick tier). It was already computed above the resolve_model_ids omit gate but was unreachable from a workflow, which left the floor inert on every non-Claude install - the model id is blank under omit and runtime-substituted where a tier map exists, and the profile defaults to balanced. The tier signal mirrors every resolution step that can change which tier runs, including the model_policy preset, and reports unknown rather than guessing. Output is additive; model, profile and effort are unchanged.

Two residuals are disclosed in the workflow rather than papered over: a raw-model-id model_overrides pin reports unknown and is floored (fails closed), and a model_profile_overrides entry repointing a tier at another tier's model can under-report (fails open, and predates this change).

Admin merge used only to satisfy the missing secondary reviewer on a single-maintainer PR. No CI failure and no conflict were bypassed: 38 checks green, remote runner 32255/32255 on both Node lanes.

693f12ad56 refactor(#3187): give state field extraction one canonical owner (#3283)
* refactor(#3187): give state field extraction one canonical owner

stateFieldValue in state-document.cts becomes the single owner of the #1760
frontmatter-then-body fallback chain. The new whole-repo guard found 14
independent re-derivations where the epic scoped 5, all now routed through it:
cmdStateSnapshot (11), cmdStatePrune (2) and smart-entry fmScalar (1).

state validate was a gate that could not fail. Every warning it could emit sat
behind a phase resolved without the frontmatter tier, so a STATE.md whose phase
lives only in frontmatter skipped the drift scan entirely and returned
valid:true. It also read unstripped content, letting a frontmatter status: key
shadow the body field (#1255 class). Both fixed; output gains a scope field so
could-not-look stops being output-identical to looked-and-clean.

Verified on the remote runner.

* docs(#3187): document the state validate scope field and its reason codes

Adds docs/how-to/interpret-state-validate-results.md so a reader can tell
nothing-to-report from could-not-look, updates the COMMANDS.md and USER-GUIDE.md
entries, corrects the CONTEXT.md glossary overstatement about Current Position
sole ownership, and drops the changeset fragment.

* fix(#3187): close three drift-guard evasion shapes and test the refuse path

The isolated adversarial review found the ladder detector was evadable by
ordinary reformatting, not just deliberately: a member or computed operand
(fm.key / fm[key]) missed the bare-identifier backreference, a swapped tier
order missed a hardcoded number-then-boolean sequence, and a ladder wrapped
across lines missed single-line detection. All three now caught, each with its
own test plus a proven boundary control.

The frontmatter-parse refuse path on the destructive complete-phase route was
unreachable and therefore untested. It is now driven by an injected parse
failure and asserts STATE.md is byte-identical after the refusal, rather than
shipping untested defensive code on a path that rewrites user state.

Verified on the remote runner.

* fix(#3187): widen the drift guard to the prompt layer and disclose tier-2 changes

The code-review spec axis found the guard's scan surface was src/ only, which is
Decision 4(d)'s forbidden allowlist one directory wide - and it had a live miss:
gsd-core/workflows/smart-entry.md tells an agent to read status from frontmatter
or the body, a prose expression of this same chain. The surface now covers the
prompt layer. That one site carries a permanent written exemption rather than a
ratchet: it is the gsd-tools-is-down fallback, so it cannot call the owner by
construction, and a ratchet would imply removable debt that does not exist.

Two tier-2 output changes shipped undisclosed and are now named in the changeset
and docs: complete-phase's idempotency guard consulting frontmatter, and the
workstream inventory resolving frontmatter-only fields. docs/COMMANDS.md gains a
state complete-phase entry, which it never had.

Also records Amendment 5 on ADR-3180, extracts the duplicated frontmatter-parse
block the epic's own thesis forbids, and re-points two assertions from free-form
warning prose onto the structured drift object.

Verified on the remote runner.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Verified via the remote runner.

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

Four findings from the isolated adversarial review.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Verified via the remote runner.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Verified via the remote runner.

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

Two findings from the isolated adversarial review.

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

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

Adds the changeset the acceptance criteria require.

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

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

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

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

Also from the review:

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

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

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

Verified via the remote runner.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Verified via the remote runner.

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

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

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

Verified RED on the remote runner before any implementation exists.

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

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

Design notes worth carrying:

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

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

Full rationale in ADR-1953.

Closes #1953

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #1953

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

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

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

Also from review:

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

Refs #1953

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #1953

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #1953

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #1953

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #1953

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Closes #2980

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

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

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

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

The ADR makes four things explicit:

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

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

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

Docs-only. Verified via the remote runner.

Closes #2869

a5706bd39d enhance(#2596): validate a wave branch's committed diff stays in its declared scope (#3264)
* test(#2596): failing-first suite for worktree-wave scope conformance

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

Refs #2596

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

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

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

Refs #2596

* docs(#2596): document the advisory worktree-wave scope-conformance check

Records the optional --files flag on worktree record-agent/create, the
advisory warnings channel cleanup-wave now emits, and its two deliberate
noise limits (SUMMARY-artifact exemption, literal-prefix glob matching).
Wires execute-phase to pass the plan's already-parsed PLAN_FILES.

Refs #2596

* fix(#2596): close review findings on the scope-conformance advisory

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

Refs #2596

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

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

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

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

Refs #2596

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

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

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

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

Refs #2596

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

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

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

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

Refs #3248

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Closes #3248

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #3248

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Expected RED until the consolidation lands.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

From the two-axis code review:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* refactor(#3185): route the last two enumeration re-derivations

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Review + remote runner findings, all fixed:

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

Two routings were wrong and the suite proved it:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Review fixes from the two orthogonal passes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ecea537194 docs(#2665): the guard watches config.toml but GSD also writes <root>/hooks/ there
Found pre-push by this round's third adversarial review pass. Not a rebase
regression — round 3 shipped it and #2755 doubled it.

resolveExtraWatchTargets watches one config.toml per non-registry descriptor,
and its comment asserted "GSD writes ONE named file into these third-party
roots". That is false: bin/install.js also calls installSharedHooksBundle on the
same root, populating <root>/hooks/ with GSD's hook scripts and a CommonJS
marker. So a suite-produced leak of a hook bundle into a developer's real
~/.kimi or ~/.kimi-code passes this guard silently — #2665's own hazard, in
#2665's own safety net.

Behaviour is deliberately unchanged and the gap is disclosed instead. Closing it
is a layout decision rather than one more path, for the same reason
getGlobalSkillsBase is already a deliberate non-target: the snapshot applies the
config-root layout beneath every root it is given, and these roots are not ours.
Happy to fix it here or take it as a separate issue — the maintainer's call.

The enumeration-relative test could not have caught this: it asserts one target
PER DESCRIPTOR and nothing about whether one per descriptor is enough, because
its expectation is derived from the same array it checks. That is exactly the
scope boundary round-2 Nit 7 asked to be marked, biting one layer up from where
it was marked; the test now says so.

479979c4's message says "there are three" — that is three WATCHED targets, not a
count of write surfaces. The hooks bundle is a fourth, and unwatched.

lint:ci rc=0; tests/live-config-guard.test.cjs 24/24. Comments and catalog only.

664bab3b48 docs(#2665): the scrub-set and guard-target seams understated their own mechanism
Both predicates were written in round 3 and not updated when round 4 widened
what they describe, so the catalog that exists to stop a future omission had
two of its own.

CONFIG.LOCATION.SEAM.scrub-set said "four sources" and listed four. There are
five rungs: the two descriptor rungs each additionally walk skillsHome.env (the
maintainer's round-4 Minor 3), and the fifth is WRITE_ESCAPE_PERMISSION_ENV_KEYS,
which is a permission rather than a location and so is reachable by no other rung.

LIVE-CONFIG.GUARD.SEAM.non-root-targets said "the two live write surfaces" and
named a single config.toml via resolveKimiHooksTomlDir. Since #2755 landed
KIMI_CODE_HOOKS_TOML_DESCRIPTOR there are three, and the guard derives them by
iterating NON_REGISTRY_CONFIG_HOME_DESCRIPTORS rather than calling a named
resolver. Both bounds are stated rather than left open: skills bases are a
deliberate non-target (the config-root layout misfires beneath them), and a
further descriptor is only free if it owns the same NON_REGISTRY_OWNED_FILE —
the residual the guard already names at its own definition.

LIVE-CONFIG.GUARD.SEAM.scope's "gsd--prefixed" read as a two-hyphen prefix; the
selector is startsWith(GSD_ARTIFACT_PREFIX) where that constant is 'gsd-'.

CONFIG.LOCATION.SEAM.kimi-two-homes was checked and is NOT stale: #2755 made
Kimi Code a separate runtime, so Kimi CLI still declares exactly two.

Both CONTEXT-INDEX mirrors regenerated; predicate ids unchanged (425), only
their descriptions move.

253250580e fix(#2665): wire the live-config guard to strict mode on Linux/macOS CI lanes
Review round 4, Major 2, answering the explicit report-only-vs-strict
question: strict now. A future regression of the class this PR closes
should fail CI, not print a warning nobody reads — that is what the PR
title promises.

Scoped deliberately: GSD_STRICT_LIVE_CONFIG_GUARD=1 on the Linux/macOS
lanes of all three test jobs; Windows lanes stay report-only because the
guard's first run found pre-existing USERPROFILE leaks there (~190 test
sites sandbox HOME alone) — flipping them strict today reddens next on a
defect class this PR does not carry. Promote once that sweep lands (the
SEVERITY note in live-config-guard.cjs and the CONTEXT.md seam both now
record that state).

209f2fe983 fix(#2665): exclude the test-instrumentation chain from the npm tarball
Review round 4, Major 1: scripts/live-config-guard.cjs is pure test
instrumentation and was shipping to every npm install. The repo already
carries the exclusion convention (gen-emitted-baseline, qa-smell-ratchet)
in the same files[] array.

Excluding the guard alone would trip the #2858 shipped-requires-only-shipped
gate: run-tests.cjs (shipped) requires it at load time, and
affected-tests-lib.cjs / run-affected-tests.cjs sit on the same chain. The
four files are one closed require chain of test instrumentation, so the
exclusion covers the chain, not one link. The guard's LOCATION header cited
affected-tests-lib.cjs as "the precedent for a non-shipped helper", which
npm pack disproves — rewritten to the tarball-exclusion fact.

434d71b03b docs(#2665): catalog the config-location and live-config-guard seams in CONTEXT.md
Round 2, Minor. "Workspace seams" carried WORKTREE.SEAM.* and
CONFIG.SEAM.loadConfig-context but nothing for this PR's mechanism or its env
vars, so the one machine-readable place a future author would look said nothing
about the class that has now recurred three times.

Ten predicates across two groups:

  CONFIG.LOCATION.SEAM.*  — the scrub set's four derivation sources and the rule
                            that a new var is made ENUMERABLE rather than
                            appended; the two-families distinction (runtime
                            configHomes vs GSD's own GSD_HOME/GSD_AGENTS_DIR)
                            that round 2 turned on; kimi's two config-location
                            vars; and the in-process scrub requirement, since
                            HOME sandboxing alone is the trap that produced
                            Blocker 1 twice.
  LIVE-CONFIG.GUARD.SEAM.* — module + exports + why it is scripts/ and not
                            scripts/lib/; ownership-based scope; the two
                            non-root targets and their asymmetric treatment;
                            the truncation contract; the report-not-fatal
                            severity ratchet; and that CI is structurally blind
                            here, so green CI is not evidence.

Both generated indexes regenerated. docs/CONTEXT-INDEX.json is checked by
lint:generated-sync (`gen-context-index.cjs --check`) LINE-NUMBER-SENSITIVELY,
and the example's own committed index is separately checked by
lint-example-parser-parity.cjs, which the first regen did not satisfy — editing
CONTEXT.md requires both, and only one of them says so in its error text.

Verified: parity lint rc=0, gen-context-index --check rc=0, full
lint:generated-sync rc=0. Regen diff audited — 10 predicates added, 0 removed,
0 values changed; the example index's remaining churn is line-number re-baking,
which is exactly why the parity lint excludes line numbers.

343835facc refactor(#3183): route live-plan counting through scanPhasePlans (#3199)
* refactor(#3183): route live-plan counting through scanPhasePlans

scanPhasePlans becomes the sole owner of the live-plan derivation. Twenty-one
independent re-derivations across seven modules now route through it, and
scripts/lint-plan-count-drift.cjs reports zero, scanning the whole repo rather
than an allowlist (ADR-3180 Decision 4a).

The epic scoped this at three copies. A whole-repo guard found twenty-six sites
across nine files, so Phase 1 absorbs every live-plan re-derivation and Phase 3
narrows to window plus sentinel enumeration.

Two sites are exempt with a documented reason rather than a bare allowlist:
audit.cts scans one quick task's own directory for a single completion record,
and gsd2-import.cts reads a foreign GSD-2 tasks/ layout during a one-time
import. Neither is a phase directory.

scanPhasePlans gains allPlanFiles (pre-supersession) alongside planFiles so one
owner answers both questions: verify.cts's numbering-gap check wants every plan
on disk, its pairing check wants the live set. Both fields are additive.

Highest-severity fix: cmdPhasePlanIndex, which feeds execute-phase wave
scheduling, was scheduling status:superseded plans into waves and reporting zero
plans for the post-#3139 nested layout.

filterPlanFiles and filterSummaryFiles are deleted; getPhaseFileStats orphaned
them and only their own tests still called them.

New leaf module src/planning-scope.cts carries the frozen SCOPE discriminator,
with its six-gate ripple closed: gitignore, inventory manifest, INVENTORY.md and
the CONTEXT.md glossary.

* docs(#3183): amend ADR-3180 for the Phase 1/3 boundary re-slice

The contract held; the phase boundary did not. The whole-repo drift guard found
26 re-derivations across 9 files against the epic's estimate of 3, and
cmdProgressRender re-derives both enumeration and plan counting on adjacent
lines, so DW4 was unsatisfiable within Phase 1's original file scope.

Records the amended scope, scanPhasePlans's new allPlanFiles field,
findOrphanSummaries, the two documented exemptions, the re-derived Tier-2
table, and the describeNonCanonicalPlans trap for later phases.

* fix(#3183): complete the canonical pairing rule and gate the naming diagnostic

The remote runner went red with 13 deterministic failures on both lanes,
and they were right: replacing verify.cts's canonicalPlanStem pairing with
summaryCandidates dropped a case the bespoke rule covered. A plan carrying a
descriptive slug after its id (68-01-scaffolding-PLAN.md) pairs with its
canonical-stem summary (68-01-SUMMARY.md), and summaryCandidates generated no
such candidate, so the plan read unsummarized.

The fix is to complete the one rule rather than restore a second:
summaryCandidates gains a canonical-id candidate, narrowed to fire only when an
id pair was actually extracted. countMatchedSummaries, findUnsummarizedPlans
and findOrphanSummaries all inherit it. The two-plans-one-summary collision
behaviour of the original rule is preserved deliberately and documented in
place.

Second defect, independently root-caused while verifying: routing the #2893
naming diagnostic through scanPhasePlans exposed it to the loose /PLAN/i
fallback, which is correct for counting and wrong for a naming check — a
non-canonically-named file was accepted as a valid plan and the diagnostic
went silent. cmdPhasesList, cmdFindPhase and cmdPhasePlanIndex now intersect
with a strict isCanonicalPlanFile predicate before reporting names.

Same class as the describeNonCanonicalPlans trap already recorded in ADR-3180:
a question about file naming wants the physical, strictly-matched set; only a
question about outstanding work wants the live set.

* chore(#3183): register planning-scope.cjs in the eslint migration list

tests/repo-invariants.test.cjs asserts every bin/lib/*.cjs is linted xor
ignored per its ADR-457 migration state. The new planning-scope module closed
five of the six .cts ripple gates - gitignore, inventory manifest, INVENTORY.md
and the CONTEXT.md glossary - but not eslint, because that one is enforced by a
test rather than by lint:ci, so the local pipeline stayed green while it was
missing.

Generated from src/planning-scope.cts, so the .cjs is ignored and the .cts is
linted, matching every other migrated module.

* fix(#3183): replace the plan-count drift detector with a literal tokenizer

CodeQL reported 4 high-severity js/redos alerts on REGEX_LITERAL_MD_RE, the
backtracking regex that finds "a regex literal mentioning PLAN/SUMMARY and an
escaped \.md". Five review rounds found it had two defects, not one:

  - EXPONENTIAL, then CUBIC. Its "any char" atom `(?:\\.|[^/\r\n])` let a `\.`
    pair be consumed either as one escape or as two class characters, which is
    exponential backtracking: 27,464ms on `"/\.mdplan" + "\.".repeat(28) + "X"`.
    Excluding `\` from the class killed that but left a cubic path — 23ms at
    N=200, 172ms at N=400, 1362ms at N=800 on `"/" + "PLAN\.md".repeat(N)` with
    no closing `/`. This guard is the last stage of `npm run lint:ci`, which CI
    runs on fork pull requests, so a crafted src/*.cts could stall the job.
  - A DETECTION HOLE. A character class holding a bare, unescaped `/` — e.g.
    `/SUMMARY[^/]*\.md$/`, an ordinary path-excluding filter — terminated the
    literal at that `/`, so the scan never reached `\.md` and the guard missed
    it entirely. (Classes holding an ESCAPED `\/` were already matched; the
    tests cover those separately as parity, not as regressions.)

Both defects have one root cause: regex-literal grammar — `\x` escapes, and
`/` inside `[...]` not terminating — is not expressible in a backtracking
regex. So the detector is now a tokenizer, not a regex.

readRegexLiteralAt reads the literal at a given `/` in a single left-to-right
pass with no backtracking, treating escapes as two-character units and
suppressing the `/` terminator inside a character class. findRegexLiteralMdMatch
restarts it at every `/` on the line, preserving the old "find anywhere"
behaviour; MAX_REGEX_LITERAL_LEN (400) bounds each read — including the
trailing-flag scan — which keeps the whole-line cost linear.

Results: cubic shape flat at 0.06-0.39ms out to N=3200 (25KB), exponential
shape 0.01ms at 28 reps and 0.00ms at 64, and the bare-`/` class shapes are now
caught. Differential against the old regex over 28,474 lines (those matching
FILENAME_TEST_RE but not PLAN_SUMMARY_LITERAL_RE, across src/tests/scripts/
gsd-core/bin/eslint-rules, excluding 265 lines with >6 backslashes on which the
old regex hangs): 6 differences, all the tokenizer returning the fuller or
newly-correct literal, 0 old-only misses. The `\.md` token stays
case-insensitive, matching the `/i` the old regex carried.

Also closes three holes in the same new file:

  - walk() tested entry.isFile(), false for a symlink, so a symlinked
    src/*.cts was silently unscanned — an evasion of a guard whose stated
    principle (ADR-3180 Decision 4a) is whole-repo discovery with no allowlist.
    It now resolves symlinks, but confined: file links must resolve inside the
    repo root, directory links inside the scanned dir itself. Every sibling
    drift guard in scripts/ uses the Dirent classification and never follows
    links, so following them unconfined would have made this the only linter
    able to read outside the tree — on fork PRs an arbitrary out-of-repo read
    whose matched fragments reach a public CI log. The narrower directory rule
    additionally stops `src/up -> ..` from sweeping the whole repo, and the
    skip list is now checked against resolved paths so `src/g -> ../.git`
    cannot reach .git/** or node_modules/**. Real paths are de-duplicated and
    files reported canonically, so a symlink alias cannot shift which
    FUNCTION_SCOPED_EXEMPTIONS key applies.
  - Both the reported fragment and the reported FILE PATH are attacker-
    controlled source text written straight to a CI log, and git permits
    control bytes in a filename. Both are now escaped — C0/C1/DEL plus the
    bidi and zero-width controls — so a crafted literal or filename cannot
    recolour the log, overwrite a line with CR, or fabricate a line that looks
    like this guard's own success output.

Regression coverage in tests/plan-count-single-owner.test.cjs: a child-process
probe over both pathological shapes (catastrophic backtracking is synchronous
and would freeze the suite rather than fail one test), the bare-`/` class
shapes verified to fail against the parent-commit blob, root-confinement tests
covering the outside-file, outside-directory, cycle, broken-link and duplicate
cases, direct isInsideRoot coverage including the sibling-prefix case that a
bare startsWith would let through, sanitizeForReport coverage, and
limit-1/limit/limit+1 coverage of MAX_REGEX_LITERAL_LEN derived from the
exported constant. The earlier structural assertion was dropped — it checked
for the substring `[^/`, which respelling the class as `[^\r\n/]` defeats
while staying exponential.

9faacc0c15 test(#3148): bound the long tail and delete the unbounded-spawn allowlist (#3192)
* test(#3148): bound the long tail and delete the allowlist

Migrates the final 170 unbounded sync spawn sites across 49 files, then
removes the allowlist entirely. local/no-unbounded-spawn now runs with no
exemption surface across tests/**: there is no file to add a name to.

drift-detection's throw-native git() helper routes to gitOrThrow -- bare
runGit would have taken 16 call sites quiet on failure. commands.test.cjs
has two independently-scoped runGsdTools/runCli helpers, one already bounded
and one not; they are kept distinct rather than unified, the same trap as the
two same-named git() helpers in Wave 1.

runNpm's bound was erasable. Its options spread callerOptions after the
defaults, so an explicit timeout:undefined silently dropped the 180000ms
bound -- the rule flagged it and was right; it was not a false positive. Fixed
by destructuring with a default, with a test that fails when the default is
removed.

Two sites stay on a raw spawn with an explicit timeout because the seam
cannot express them: one needs shell:true for npm.cmd on Windows, one
redirects stdout to a real fd. Both are the rule's own documented second
option, not an escape from it.

Closure verified rather than asserted: the derivation scan reports 0 unbounded
spawn helpers and 0 unbounded direct git call sites, and a temporary file
carrying an unbounded spawn still errors with the allowlist gone.

Closes #3064.

* test(#3148): close a hole in the guard's own eslint-disable ban

The ban listed only the top level of tests/, so it was blind to 37 .cjs
files under tests/helpers, qa, observability, fixtures and dispatch. With the
allowlist deleted this test is the sole remaining way to detect someone
silencing the rule inline, so the gap was load-bearing: a nested file could
carry an unbounded spawn plus an eslint-disable and pass everything.

Proven before and after. A probe planted under tests/helpers with both was
invisible to the guard and clean under eslint; after making the listing
recursive the guard fails on it. The scanned set goes from 771 files to 808.

Pre-existing since the guard shipped, but this wave is what promoted it to
sole defense, so it is fixed here rather than filed.

Also converts the last hand-rolled throw check to throwIfFailed and the last
re-derived legacy shape to compose toLegacyResult, which makes the epic's
none-remain claim true rather than nearly true. toLegacyResult itself is not
widened -- eight callers depend on its shape and one consumer does not
justify changing a shared contract.

* fix(#3148): correct seam incoherence at the bound and a slow review-lane error path

Two real failures from the remote runner, both fixed at the cause.

The seam could return outcome TIMED_OUT together with exitCode 0. At the
exact bound spawnSync reports ETIMEDOUT while the child has already exited
with a real status, and toSeamResult classified on the error code while
passing status straight through -- an incoherent pair its own boundary test
was written to catch, and did. A status that is not null is direct evidence
the child exited on its own, so it now decides the outcome before the
error-code branches run. process-seam.cjs was deliberately untouched by every
earlier wave; this is a defect in the module itself, kept surgical, with a
unit test that fails against the old logic.

review-lane with an unknown subcommand fell through to its usage error only
after loading the capability registry and building a per-lane plan, which
spawns one child process per lane -- up to twelve. The error path took
~1288ms instead of ~119ms, and under bench load it outran a caller's spawn
timeout and was killed before writing anything, which is the empty stdout and
stderr CI saw. It now fails fast before any of that work begins.

This is the epic's first production change. It is user-facing, so it carries
a changeset rather than a no-changelog label.

* test(#3148): replace a real-race timeout test with a deterministic one

E9 raced git rev-parse against a 1ms bound and assumed git always lost. On a
warm container git finishes first, spawnSync returns status 0 with no error
at all, the seam correctly classifies EXITED, and gitOrThrow correctly does
not throw -- so the test failed on both lanes. A probe confirms a genuine
timeout always carries status null, so this was never the seam misbehaving.

Raising the bound would only lengthen the odds, which is the same defect with
better luck. The test now drives gitOrThrow against a stubbed runGit that
returns a synthetic TIMED_OUT result, so it asserts exactly what it always
meant to -- that a timeout propagates as a throw -- with no timing
dependence. Five consecutive runs are identical where the old one varied.

I wrote this test in Wave 0; it is a real-race test by construction and
CLAUDE.md says to replace those rather than re-run them.

cbd180c5cd test(#3147): bound the lint/changeset/docs cluster onto the process seam (#3181)
* test(#3147): bound the lint/changeset/docs cluster onto the process seam

Migrates 69 unbounded sync spawn sites across 24 files. Allowlist 73 to 49.

Two shared helpers move: tests/helpers/graphify.cjs (6 importing suites) and
tests/fixtures/index.cjs, whose three quoted-argument shell strings became
single argv elements rather than whitespace splits.

changeset-lint's throw-native git() helper routes to gitOrThrow; migrating it
to bare runGit would have silently swallowed a failure that is loud today.
ingest-docs goes the other way -- its catch never rethrew, it degraded failure
into data every call site asserts on, so throwIfFailed would have thrown where
the original returned. The design doc said otherwise and was corrected.

tsconfig-noemit runs a real tsc --noEmit and takes a bespoke 180000ms per the
ensure-runtime-build precedent, not the 30000ms build-hooks norm -- that norm
is for a file copy, and sizing against a label rather than the work is the
same error in the opposite direction.

* test(#3147): add toLegacyResult and settle review findings

The seam exposed a throwing adapter (throwIfFailed) but no non-throwing one,
so eight files independently re-derived the same unwrap back to the legacy
{status, stdout, stderr} shape. That is the third time this epic produced N
copies of one mechanism -- seven throw wrappers in Wave 1, fifty-two timeout
constants in Wave 2, eight result adapters here. The pattern is that whenever
the seam does not expose a mechanism, every suite re-derives it.

toLegacyResult now sits beside throwIfFailed, with its own tests.

Two sites are deliberately NOT converted: changeset-cli's runRender and
runRenderIn return {status, report, stderr} from parsed JSON and never a raw
stdout, so they are a different shape family. lint-legacy-dir-name keeps its
local GUARD_TIMEOUT_MS: 30000 matches the build norm numerically but bounds a
lint probe, not hooks bundling, and importing it would encode a coincidence
as a relationship.

3fac6e629f test(#3145): bound the installer/runtime cluster onto the process seam (#3176)
* test(#3145): bound the installer/runtime cluster onto the process seam

Migrates 156 unbounded sync spawn sites across 47 files. Allowlist 120 to 73.

Timeouts are sized from evidence already in the tree rather than a house
default, because this wave spawns installers rather than git plumbing and an
undersized bound does not catch a hang -- it manufactures CI flake, which is
worse, since a flake gets re-run instead of investigated. install.test.cjs
records a real spawnSync ETIMEDOUT at a 60000ms cap on a loaded bench while
another lane passed the same commit in 12.7s, so full installs are bound at
120000ms against that recorded incident.

Also adds an auditable escape to the guard's timeout ceiling. The 600000ms
cap was set in #3143 from partial evidence, but fragment-single-edit-
propagation carries a documented, load-tested 900000ms bound on a run that
chains a full build plus eight generators -- the guard would have rejected a
correct timeout the moment that file left the allowlist. A value above the
ceiling is now permitted only with an inline allow-spawn-timeout-ceiling
marker carrying a non-empty reason. It raises the ceiling; it never waives
the requirement for a bound, which is asserted directly.

install-shared.cjs keeps its hand-rolled assert rather than routing through
throwIfFailed: its message embeds both streams, and throwIfFailed carries
only a trimmed stderr. The message now also names the outcome, so a bounded
timeout reads as such across its 38 importers instead of as
expected null to equal 0.

* test(#3145): extract class-norm timeouts and correct the build-hooks sizing

A pre-PR review found 52 copies of four class-norm timeout constants across
this wave. These are not per-suite fixture bindings -- they are shared facts
about how long a class of subprocess takes, derived from a recorded bench
incident. That norm already moved once (60000 to 120000 after a real
ETIMEDOUT), and 52 copies would have drifted the next time it moved.

Extracts tests/helpers/timeouts.cjs, where each norm is justified once, and
converts the copies. A site that genuinely differs -- a real tsc compile, or
regen:derived -- keeps its own local constant with its own justification.

Also corrects a misclassification: scripts/build-hooks.js was sized as a
build at 120000 in twelve places and 60000 in another, but it compiles and
bundles nothing. Its own header says no bundling needed; it copies pre-built
files and syntax-checks them with vm. Three different values bounded one
script; now there is one.

* test(#3145): fix red CI — lint self-match and a Windows chunk overrun

Two failures on PR 3176.

lint-allow-test-rule-refs read a RuleTester fixture as a real exemption. The
fixture exists to prove an unrelated marker does NOT suppress the rule, so it
carries that marker's literal text as test data. Split via concatenation, the
same idiom no-unbounded-spawn-allowlist.test.cjs already uses for its own
self-match problem. The explanatory comment needed the same treatment.

The Windows shard 3/3 chunk was killed at its 600000ms budget. Output stopped
seven minutes before the kill, so this was an overrun rather than a slow
chunk: regenDerivedPropagatesSingleFragmentEditWithNoSecondSourceSurface runs
regen:derived bounded at 900000ms, which is larger than the whole chunk
budget, so the chunk killer always fires first and it can never complete
there. Both the test and that bound predate this change; modifying the file
pulled it into the Windows targeted set and exposed it. Skipped on Windows
with the reason recorded; the Linux lanes cover it. The 900000 bound and its
ceiling marker are unchanged -- they are correct.

* test(#3145): refresh the stale test-timings cost table

The Windows shard was killed at its 600000ms per-chunk budget. run-tests.cjs
packs chunks by measured duration from tests/test-timings.json, and an
unknown file falls back to the table's median weight -- advisory by design,
but it silently underweights exactly the files that matter.

Four of the failing chunk's 22 files were absent from the table, including
the two heaviest: fragment-single-edit-propagation.install.test.cjs at 230s
(it runs regen:derived) and agent-fragments-emission.install.test.cjs at 79s.
Both were weighted as average, so the chunk's total weight read 53.68 against
a budget of 60 and the packer produced a single chunk.

Regenerated from a passing full-suite run, per the remedy the script itself
documents. 700 to 770 entries, 70 added, 0 dropped -- verified, since
gen-test-timings.cjs replaces the table wholesale rather than merging.

Proven against the real packer: the same 22 files now weigh 103.91 and split
into two chunks. No logic, budget, or timeout was changed; raising a budget
to make a red gate pass is not a fix.

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

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

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

Fails before the fix. Verified via the remote runner.

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

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

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

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

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

Verified on the remote runner.

Closes #3023

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

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

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

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

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

Verified on the remote runner.

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

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

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

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

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

Verified on the remote runner.

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

Three review findings, all fixed.

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

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

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

Verified on the remote runner.

* chore(#3023): backfill changeset PR number

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

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

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

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

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

Verified on the remote runner.

1d208e5af6 test(#3144): bound the git/worktree cluster onto the process seam (#3152)
* test(#3144): bound the git/worktree cluster onto the process seam

Migrates 180 unbounded sync spawn sites across 19 files. Every previously
unbounded call now carries an explicit timeout with a comment giving the
number and why.

The migration is not a callee swap. execSync and execFileSync throw on a
non-zero exit and the seam never does, so each site was classified first:
sites that rely on the throw route to gitOrThrow, and sites that already read
.status to detect an EXPECTED non-zero -- an intended cherry-pick conflict, a
rev-parse outside a repo driving a skip -- route to the never-throwing runGit
instead, which would otherwise throw on exactly the exit being probed for.

Two same-named git() helpers in worktree-cleanup.test.cjs have different
return contracts, one trimmed and one raw; both are preserved rather than
unified.

Collapses five hand-rolled throw wrappers onto one throwIfFailed in
git-fixture.cjs, which gitOrThrow now also uses so the shape cannot drift.

Allowlist drops 139 to 120; BASELINE lowered to match.

* test(#3144): fix pre-PR review findings

Documents throwIfFailed in the CONTEXT.md glossary and CONTRIBUTING.md --
it became the shared throw mechanism without either doc naming it.

Routes the sixth and seventh hand-rolled copies of the throw shape through
throwIfFailed (worktree-baseref-install, worktree-safety-reap); the first
consolidation missed both.

Converts ci-rebase-check's 8 fixture-setup calls from unchecked runGit to
gitOrThrow so a failed setup step aborts where it fails rather than
surfacing later as a confusing failure against the wrong subject.

Adds 12 direct unit tests for throwIfFailed, which until now was only
exercised transitively.

Splits verify.test.cjs's non-git grep/sed bound off GIT_TIMEOUT_MS.

2afe17bbdb test(#3143): add the no-unbounded-spawn guard and throw-preserving git fixture (#3150)
* test(#3143): add no-unbounded-spawn guard and throw-preserving git fixture

Adds the ESLint rule local/no-unbounded-spawn, wired into the tests/**/*.cjs
block, plus an allowlist that only ratchets down: a listed file with zero
violations reports its own entry as stale.

The rule resolves renamed destructures and chained requires rather than
matching literal callee names -- both forms exist in the suite today and a
name-only matcher leaves them permanently invisible. It resolves an options
object held in a single-write const, which is what keeps process-seam.cjs,
the bounded reference implementation, from flagging itself.

timeout: 0 and anything above the 600000ms ceiling are rejected as only
nominally bounded.

Adds tests/helpers/git-fixture.cjs so a migrated execSync call site keeps
its throw-on-non-zero contract; process-seam.cjs is unchanged.

* test(#3143): prove the allowlist guards can actually fail

Extracts the D4/D6/D7/D8 checks into pure helpers and drives each against a
synthetic fixture carrying an injected violation. Without this the suite only
proved that today's clean data passes, which a deleted check would also
satisfy.

* fix(#3143): close two ceiling and alias escapes found in review

Nested arithmetic bypassed the ceiling entirely: the numeric evaluator only
resolved a flat literal, so `timeout: 60 * 60 * 1000` (3600000ms, six times
the ceiling) fell through to trusted and reported nothing. The evaluator now
recurses through arithmetic and unary signs with a depth cap.

Alias resolution was traversal-order dependent, not scope dependent: a call
textually above its own require destructure saw an empty alias map and
reported clean. The map is now built in a Program pre-pass.

Also: an explicit timeoutMs:undefined no longer overwrites the git fixture
default via spread, adds the missing seam-routed rule test, and de-duplicates
the repeated try/catch in the fixture tests.

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

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

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

Verification through the remote runner only.

Refs #3118

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Three findings from the isolated review pass.

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

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

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

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

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

Five findings from the two review axes.

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

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

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

* docs(#3118): add the changeset fragments

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* chore(#3118): backfill changeset pr number to 3124

* chore(#3118): backfill changeset pr number to 3124

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

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

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

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

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

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