4e8927b0b9 fix(#3707): degrade the fold for every UAT gap class, and stop line endings hiding rows from the audit and the acceptance gate (#3903)
* test(#3707): failing-first coverage for reverting the fence-shortfall fold shield

Pins the post-revert contract: a phase whose only gap is a fence shortfall must
degrade the fold and withhold the milestone percentages, like every other gap class.

Five of the eight rows are CONTROLS that pass before the change, and they carry more
weight than the failing row. The failure mode of this revert is degrading TOO MUCH:
a revert that sets foldScope outside the headingsSeen > 0 branch would withhold every
percentage in the project, and only the no-gap control catches that. Another control
catches a revert that collapses the two scopes into one and loses the distinction
between what a phase reports and what the fold folds -- uat.scope must stay TRUNCATED
for every gap either way, which it already is.

The row that pinned the shielded behavior is rewritten rather than deleted. Deleting
a test because the behavior it asserts is being reversed leaves the reversal
unguarded.

* fix(#3707): degrade the fold for every UAT gap class, reverting the fence-shortfall shield

Maintainer decision. The two orthogonal engines split on this during #3707 and
neither filed it as blocking, so it shipped in the shape the engine that raised the
objection endorsed after verifying seven fixtures. The call has now gone the other
way, restoring the fail-safe direction chosen twice already on this issue.

The shield exempted one gap class from the fold's teeth. It could not do that
safely: shortfallBlocks is a single tally incremented at exactly one site and spans
BOTH a harmless fenced documentation sample AND a genuinely fence-straddled
result: blocked row. Exempting it therefore could not exempt only the harmless case
-- it also published a milestone percentage over a real, unread outstanding row.
SCOPE.TRUNCATED means the scan could not SEE part of the evidence, which is exactly
that case.

scope and foldScope now agree: every gap class degrades both. The accepted
over-report documented in uat.cts is unchanged and still documented there; what
changed is only that it no longer buys an exemption from the fold.

The comment block above it argued FOR the shield and is rewritten, because a
comment defending behavior the code no longer has is worse than no comment.
shortfallBlocks leaves this function's destructure but is untouched upstream, where
audit-uat still consumes it.

* fix(#3707): correct the caller comment, add the changeset, and name what the order tests guard

Review found a SECOND comment still documenting the removed shield -- the caller's,
beside the worstScope fold, stating that foldScope differs from scope for exactly
one case which must not raise phase_scope_degraded or withhold the milestone's
percentages. That is now the opposite of what the code does. I rewrote the
buildUatRows comment in the previous commit and asserted in its message that a
comment defending behavior the code no longer has is worse than no comment, then
left exactly that one standing a few hundred lines away.

The change had no changeset. It is user-visible: a milestone's percentage goes from
published to withheld whenever any phase has a fence-shortfall-only gap. PR gates
hard-fail a user-facing code diff without one.

The two scopes are now identical at every return site. They are NOT collapsed --
that would change the return shape and the caller on what is meant to be a
one-condition revert, and the seam is worth keeping if the distinction is ever
wanted again -- but the declaration now says plainly that they agree by decision
rather than by accident, so a reader does not have to re-derive it.

The two order-independence tests were renamed. foldScope is monotonic with no reset
path, so file order is structurally irrelevant and those rows could never have
failed for the ordering reason their names promised. They do guard something real --
a multi-file phase degrading when any one file has a shortfall-only gap -- so they
now say that instead.

* test(#3707): failing-first coverage for the lone-CR UAT false-clean

The parser splits on newline only, and the heading tokenizer agrees with it, so a
lone carriage return is not a line boundary anywhere in it. CommonMark treats a lone
CR as a line ending, so such a row renders to a human reader while being invisible
to BOTH sides of the parser's symmetry invariant: no item, no shortfall, no
headingsSeen. A phase hiding a result: blocked row this way reports 100 percent with
zero diagnostics.

Found by the security review of the fold-shield revert. It is the one false-clean
class that revert does not reach, and it is the same bug class this issue exists to
fix -- an unreadable row reported as clean.

Nine rows. The LF control is what proves this is a separator defect rather than a
content defect: identical bodies, one separator apart, and only one of them hides
the row. CRLF and CR-inside-a-fence controls guard the coming normalization against
double-counting or tearing content that legitimately contains a carriage return.
Two further manifestations turned up while writing them: a leading CR breaks
column-0 anchoring of the first heading, and an all-CR document flags a shortfall it
cannot attribute to any row.

* fix(#3707): treat a lone carriage return as a line ending in the UAT parser

A lone CR was not a line boundary anywhere in the parser -- it split on newline
only, and the heading tokenizer agreed with it. CommonMark treats a lone CR as a
line ending, so such a row rendered to a human reader while being invisible to BOTH
sides of the parser's symmetry invariant: no item, no shortfall, no headingsSeen. A
phase hiding a result: blocked row that way reported 100 percent with zero
diagnostics.

Line endings are now normalized once at document ingress -- CRLF and lone CR both to
newline -- at the two independent entry points, rather than teaching each split site
about CR. Every downstream scan, offset and span therefore reads one convention.
That single-frame property is deliberate: this issue already cost a HIGH when two
scans read the same document through different frames.

MY OWN END-TO-END TEST WAS WRONG and is replaced rather than weakened. It asserted
that a lone-CR document must withhold its percentage, which reasons from the
pre-fix symptom: after the fix the row is not hidden, it is surfaced, and this
module deliberately keeps visible outstanding UAT work separate from completion
percentages -- only unreadable evidence degrades scope. The success of the fix is
what made the assertion false. The implementing agent refused to satisfy both it and
the architecture and asked instead of bending either; it was right.

What replaces it is a stronger contract: a lone-CR document and its LF twin, built
from one source, must produce identical audit output -- scope, percent, every
unresolved row by identity, and the diagnostic set. That is what 'a line-ending
convention must not change what the audit reports' actually means, and it carries a
non-vacuity check so it cannot pass with both sides empty.

shortfallBlocks keeps being returned, now documented as currently unconsumed. An
earlier reviewer told me audit-uat still consumed it and I passed that on as an
instruction; it was wrong, and it was caught by checking rather than by me.

* fix(#3707): normalize at the document read boundary, not at two call sites

The lone-CR fix was half-applied and both review engines caught it independently.
cmdAuditUat has four document ingresses, not the two I normalized: VERIFICATION.md
and deferred-items.md still handed raw text to newline-only splitters, and the
frontmatter extract in the UAT loop read raw content while its parser read
normalized -- one audit entry mixing the two frames the fix exists to unify.
Measured: a phase written twice from one source gave total_files 2 / total_items 4
under LF and results [] / total_items 0 under lone CR, with zero diagnostics.

Normalizing two call sites and declaring it done is exactly why two were missed, so
this moves it to the read boundary: every document now enters through a helper that
normalizes, in audit-uat, in planning-inspect's readDocument, and in the shared
verification-status read. Future parsers downstream get normalized text by
construction rather than because someone remembered.

That last seam also fixes an under-reporting case of the same root: a lone-CR
VERIFICATION.md saying status: passed was read as missing, telling the user a verify
step that had completed never ran.

The parity test's load-bearing assertion is now marked as such. Four of its five
equality checks still pass with the bug present -- only the unresolved-row identity
differs -- so trimming that one as redundant would make the row vacuous.

Second changeset added: the CR fix is user-visible independently of the fold revert,
and one fragment covering both would have described neither.

* test(#3707): failing-first coverage for the U+2028 and duplicate-result false-cleans

Two more of the same class, both found by the security review of this branch and
both reproduced before writing a line.

normalizeLineEndings folds only carriage returns, but a JS /m anchor also treats
U+2028 and U+2029 as line terminators while split on newline does not. That is the
identical asymmetry the carriage-return bug exploited, one separator over, and worse
in one respect: these are not CommonMark line endings, so a reader still sees the
column-0 result: blocked that the tool discards. Measured: a scalar-internal
result: pass placed after U+2028 wins over the real blocked line and the row
disappears with no gap raised.

Separately, and independent of any separator, a block with two column-0 result:
lines resolves to the first with no ambiguity signalled. Prepending result: pass to
a block therefore deletes an outstanding row silently; reversing the order surfaces
it. Order deciding meaning is the defect, so the pair of rows pins the contract as
ambiguity-is-a-gap rather than last-one-wins, leaving the fix room to implement the
gap sensibly.

Four controls: an ordinary marker in the same position (proving separator not
content), legitimate U+2028 inside prose that must not be torn, a single result line,
and a result line inside a fence that must not count as a second occurrence.

* fix(#3707): scan result lines by split, not by a multiline anchor

Two more false-cleans from the security review, both closed by the same change.

A JS /m anchor treats U+2028 and U+2029 as line terminators while split on newline
does not. A scalar-internal result: pass placed after one of those separators
therefore matched as a line start and beat the real column-0 result: blocked, and
the row vanished at 100 percent with no gap. Worse than the carriage-return case in
one respect: these are not CommonMark line endings, so a reader still saw the
blocked row the tool discarded.

Separately, the non-global match returned the leftmost hit, so a block with two
column-0 result: lines silently resolved to the first. Prepending result: pass
deleted an outstanding row; reversing the order surfaced it. Order deciding meaning
was the defect.

Both close by scanning lines produced by split rather than by anchoring a regex
inside the whole document: each line is tested on its own, and a count other than
exactly one is reported as a parse gap instead of resolved to either candidate.

I asked for U+2028 to be folded in normalizeLineEndings and that was wrong. Folding
is length-preserving, so it would have made the U+2028 fixture byte-identical to the
genuine two-result-line fixture -- while one requires a confident item and the other
requires an ambiguity gap. No implementation can satisfy both once the distinguishing
character is erased. The agent proved that and deviated rather than forcing it, which
is why normalizeLineEndings still folds only carriage returns, now with a comment
saying why.

* fix(#3707): bound the ambiguity scan at the next heading-shaped line

The split-based result scan regressed four pre-existing #3078/#3707 guards, each
off by exactly one gap.

My diagnosis was wrong. I read the off-by-one as double counting -- zero-result
blocks taking both the new path and the pre-existing one -- and said to change the
ambiguity condition from not-equal-one to greater-than-one. The agent checked and
refused: the zero path was never duplicated. The real cause is double ATTRIBUTION.
A block is sliced to the next TOKENIZED heading, so when the next row is untokenized
-- hidden by a straddling fence, or indented and already counted by the shortfall
scan -- that row's own result: line is absorbed into the previous block. The scan
then saw two result lines across what are really two rows and raised a second,
redundant gap on top of the one already counted elsewhere.

Had the greater-than-one change gone in, the counts would have matched while the
double attribution stayed. That is the compensating-adjustment failure I had asked
it to refuse, and it did.

The scan is now bounded at the first following heading-shaped line, either indent
class, so a genuine same-block ambiguity is untouched while spillover from a row
counted elsewhere is excluded.

* fix(#3707): keep the U+2028 immunity, revert the ambiguity detection

The ambiguity half of this change regressed the suite twice and is coming out.

Attempt one double-attributed: a block is sliced to the next TOKENIZED heading, so
when the real next row is untokenized its result: line was absorbed into the
previous block and raised a second gap on a row already counted elsewhere. Four
guards broke.

Attempt two bounded the scan at the next heading-shaped line and broke thirty. An
indented ### N. inside a block scalar is legitimate scalar CONTENT, not a heading,
and truncating there defeats every #3078 guard that exists to stop scalar bodies
being read as rows. Telling a genuinely hidden indented row apart from indented
scalar text is a classification countUnattributedIndentedRows already owns; a raw
regex does not have that information.

What survives is the half that is sound and was never implicated in either
regression: the result scan tests each line produced by split rather than anchoring
a regex with the multiline flag over the whole block. split never treats U+2028 or
U+2029 as a delimiter, so those separators can no longer manufacture a line start
and steal a row. Everything else returns to first-match-wins, byte-identical to
origin/next.

The two tests pinning ambiguity-as-a-gap are removed with it, since the contract is
no longer implemented here. The defect they described is real, pre-existing and
independent of any separator -- result: pass before result: blocked silently deletes
an outstanding row -- and it needs its own change with a scalar-aware counter rather
than being wedged into a branch already carrying three fixes.

* fix(#3707): correct the shared-seam rationale and restore U+2028 trailing text

The revert left a stale rationale in core-utils, justifying the decision not to fold
U+2028 by claiming uat.cts must tell a fake line start apart from a real second
column-0 result: declaration that gets flagged as ambiguous. Nothing flags ambiguity
any more; that behavior was reverted and the same file says so a few lines away. The
decision is still right, the stated reason was false.

This is the third stale comment this branch has shipped and had to fix, and the worst
placed of them: core-utils is a shared leaf that every future document consumer will
read for guidance. Rewritten to the true reason -- the scan tests each split line
individually rather than anchoring over the block, so an exotic separator cannot
manufacture a line start and folding is unnecessary.

Also a real behavior delta I had not noticed. Dropping the multiline flag left the
pattern's trailing .*$ in place, and dot never matches U+2028, so a genuine column-0
result: blocked whose TRAILING text contained one stopped parsing entirely -- a
visible parse gap rather than a false clean, so fail-safe, but a regression against
origin/next that nothing pinned. The trailing portion now matches any character and
a test pins it by identity against its plain-LF twin.

Plus the JSDoc orphaned when normalizeLineEndings moved to core-utils, and the
changeset, which described neither the separator fix nor planning-inspect surfacing
lone-CR rows.

* fix(#3707): harden the acceptance gate, which had both halves of the same bug

uat-predicate is a SECOND, independent UAT parser, and it is the one that decides
phase uat-passed. It read raw bytes and anchored a multiline regex over unsplit
text -- exactly the two defects this branch closed one module away in uat.cts.

The consequence is worse than the audit surface it mirrors. Measured on identical
bytes: a U+2028 scalar injection made the gate return passed true while planning
inspect reported the same row as blocked and outstanding. The hardened surface and
the gate disagreed, and the gate was the permissive one -- so a phase could be
accepted over a row the audit could see and the gate could not.

Both raw reads now go through the shared normalize seam and both scans test lines
produced by split rather than anchoring over the document. First-match-wins,
matching uat.cts; no ambiguity counting is reintroduced. Tests assert the AGREEMENT
between the two surfaces rather than each separately, because divergence is the
defect.

Also finishes the same root cause one module over: phase complete's advisory
pre-scan read raw bytes, so a lone-CR VERIFICATION.md lost its human_needed or
gaps_found warning -- the fix verification.cts already got on this branch.

And narrows the core-utils rationale I reworded last commit, which claimed consumers
already avoid multiline anchors. uat.cts still has five over unsplit text. That is
the fourth comment on this branch to assert something the code does not do, so it
now states only what is true of core-utils itself.

* fix(#3707): give structure and attribution different line frames, normalize the close audit

Two more from review, and the first was a regression I introduced one commit
earlier.

Converting the gate's heading scan to split-then-match removed a detection
origin/next had: a ### N. heading delimited by U+2028 was found by the old multiline
scan and was not found after. So hardening the result scan quietly weakened the
heading scan, and the gate stopped blocking on rows origin/next blocked -- the
permissive direction, on the surface that decides acceptance.

The insight I had missed is that the two scans need DIFFERENT frames. Heading
detection is structure: there is no distinction to preserve, so it splits on newline
or either exotic separator and finds a heading however it is delimited. The result
scan is attribution: the newline-only frame is exactly what stops a scalar-internal
result: from being read as a column-0 line, so it stays. One frame applied uniformly
was the error.

Second, a THIRD unnormalized parser family: the milestone-close audit read every
artifact raw. A lone-CR VERIFICATION.md degraded to status unknown and was skipped,
and deferred entries vanished outright -- measured as three items requiring
decisions under LF and one under CR, on identical bytes. All nine scanner reads now
normalize; six of them had the identical defect beyond the three review named. The
acknowledge path stays deliberately raw, since it splices by byte offset, and now
says so.

Also pins the cross-newline result: divergence, and replaces three raw U+2028
literals in test source with escapes. A raw separator in a fixture is one formatter
away from becoming an ordinary-character control that still passes -- vacuous in the
only test pinning the separator fix.

* fix(#3707): share one frame between the acknowledge writer and the audit reader

Normalizing the audit scanners left the writer and the reader on different frames.
cmdAuditAcknowledge derives its stored snapshot values from raw content -- correct
for the SPLICE, which rewrites by byte offset -- but scanUatGaps and
scanContextQuestions now recompute those same values from normalized content. For a
lone-CR artifact the two can never match, so an acknowledgement never suppresses its
item and it resurfaces on every audit: acknowledge became a silent no-op.

Fail-safe in direction, since the item stays visible rather than being wrongly
suppressed, but it is the writer and reader disagreeing about what a line is -- the
exact class this branch exists to eliminate, and the fourth instance of it here.

The derive functions now read a normalized copy while the splice keeps raw bytes and
raw offsets, so both sides share one frame and the byte-offset rewrite is untouched.
Round trip pinned for lone-CR and LF, with an existing LF marker asserted still
recognised so the change cannot silently invalidate acknowledgements already in
users' files.

Also tightens an assertion that pinned this branch's own heading fix with a proxy:
notStrictEqual against 'passed' also passes on 'pass', which IS a passing token, so
it could not have caught a regression attributing a passing result to the recovered
heading. It now pins the exact token.

* chore(#3707): backfill changeset pr numbers

Both fragments still carried the pr: 0 placeholder, which failed changeset-lint and
docs-lint on PR 3903. The review had flagged the backfill as pending and I opened
the PR without doing it.

3893d1ff69 fix(#3518): pin uat_path to the phase's own UAT artifact via the shared phase-pinned resolver (#3525)
* fix(#3518): pin uat_path to the phase's own UAT artifact via the shared phase-pinned resolver

Both uat_path projectors in src/init.cts picked the phase's UAT file with a
bare .find() over unsorted readdir order — no phase-membership check, no
ordering — so a stray cross-phase 04-UAT.md in phase 03's directory could
become phase 03's uat_path, filesystem-dependently (creation order on APFS,
hash order on ext4/XFS): two machines on the same commit could emit different
uat_path values for the same phase.

Route both sites through a new resolveUatFile in src/verification.cts, the
UAT counterpart of #3357/#3492's resolveVerificationFile, sharing the exact
selection rule via one extracted core (resolvePhaseArtifactFile): the phase's
own <token>-UAT.md always wins; otherwise the alphabetically-first dashed
candidate (deterministic everywhere); a bare UAT.md only via allowBare when
no dashed candidate exists. resolveVerificationFile now delegates to the same
core — behavior byte-identical.

Guarded by: two end-to-end repro tests in tests/init.test.cjs (plan-phase and
phase-op, red on the pre-fix readdir pick), resolveUatFile contract anchors
and a src/-wide call-site guard in tests/verification-status.test.cjs.

ddf852873c fix(#3357): one phase-pinned resolver for verification-report discovery (#3513)
A phase directory can hold more than one `*-VERIFICATION.md` — an ad-hoc `03-CORRECTION-VERIFICATION.md` worksheet beside the real `03-VERIFICATION.md`. Discovery took the alphabetically-first match, so the worksheet won and the phase could report `missing` while a passing report sat next to it.

The issue named two copies. There were seven, in four grammars: two `.sort()[0]` sites in the verification module, three `.find()` over UNSORTED readdir order (phase status, and `verification_path` twice — filesystem-dependent, so two machines on one commit could disagree), and two in shell. All seven now route through one exported `resolveVerificationFile`; the shell copies via a new `verification resolve-file` verb rather than hand-rolling the rule an eighth time.

Fixing five of seven would have been worse than fixing none: the verify-work workflow is a WRITER that stamps `status: passed` onto the file it picks, so canonical-aware readers plus an alphabetical writer means the human_needed→passed canonicalization silently no-ops forever while the worksheet gets stamped. That divergence did not exist on next.

The first resolver was itself a regression — it preferred ANY canonically-shaped name over the phase's own report, so a stray cross-phase or sentinel-numbered file outranked it. The global-canonical preference was removed rather than narrowed; the rule is pinned to the phase token via `PHASE_NUMBER_TOKEN_SOURCE`, its existing owner.

Fixed in passing: the transition workflow's awk guarded on `NR==1` instead of `FNR==1`, so across a multi-file glob it armed only on the first file — a leading worksheet with no frontmatter blocked transition even when the canonical report passed. Also removed a U+00AD soft hyphen introduced earlier on this branch.

Five broader-grammar AGGREGATE scans are deliberately out of scope — a different defect class (phase-unscoped scanning), tracked as #3511.

Closes #3357

2537c286f9 refactor(#1762): clarify verification-missing/unknown routing text (#3439)
* test(#1762): assert reassuring verification-routing wording (RED)

Regression test for #1762 — asserts readVerificationStatus's missing/
unknown next_action text reassures the user that execute-phase resumes
at the verification gates without redoing work, instead of reading as
a blind re-run instruction. Fails against current wording; the fix
lands in the next commit.

* fix(#1762): reassure verification-missing/unknown routing text is safe to run

readVerificationStatus's 'missing' and 'unknown' next_action text read as
"redo the implementation", when execute-phase's own discover_and_group_plans
step (#2868) already resumes at the verification gates and skips
execute_waves/checkpoint_handling entirely when every plan already has a
SUMMARY.md. Reword both to say so explicitly, and soften the 'unknown'
message to acknowledge a non-standard status may be an intentional marker
rather than presuming re-verification is always the fix.

Also updates progress.md's Route V.missing / V.unknown to consume the
dynamic $VERIFICATION_NEXT_ACTION (matching V.gaps/V.human) instead of a
hand-duplicated string, so the reassurance lands there too without a second
copy to keep in sync.

No change to next_command routing, status values, or the isPhaseComplete
completeness predicate (still gated on status === 'passed' per the #2957
DISK-STRICT decision) — advisory text only.

* fix(#1762): drop duplicated reassurance clause in progress.md routing text

Review finding: the SUMMARY.md reassurance was stated once via the
interpolated $VERIFICATION_NEXT_ACTION and again as a parenthetical on
the command line, in both Route V.missing and Route V.unknown. Trimmed
the parenthetical so $VERIFICATION_NEXT_ACTION stays the single source
of truth.

* docs(#1762): add changeset fragment

Type Changed with a docs-exempt marker — advisory routing text only,
no docs page documents this specific message today.

* test(#1762): acknowledge progress.md emitted-content growth

Route V.missing/V.unknown now render a small block referencing
${VERIFICATION_NEXT_ACTION} instead of a bare command line, growing
progress.md by 376 bytes. Deliberate per the differential attribution
check (ADR-2719).

* chore: drop spent progress.md ack from #3218's emitted-drift fragment

The #3218 growth it described is already on next (inert, per the
lint's own note that spent acks 'can no longer clear anything').
Its presence collided with the new #1762 fragment naming the same
bare filename, which lint-emitted-drift-ack rejects outright ('two
ack sources may never name the same path'). #3218's other two
acks (plan-phase.md, plan-review-convergence.md) are untouched.

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.

53ea8e0664 fix(#3057): make a guard's failure distinguishable from its benign result — Wave 1 (#3088)
* fix(#3057): refuse the write when the duplicate scan cannot complete

writeManifest documents itself as a fail-closed duplicate guard: if any
existing manifest shares plan_id with a different, non-terminal job_id it must
refuse, because dispatching again would duplicate the external job.

It could not honour that. The scan reads every sibling manifest looking for the
duplicate, and an unreadable or unparseable sibling was `continue`d past. If
the corrupt file was the one holding the live duplicate, the scan found nothing
and a duplicate external job dispatched.

The asymmetry is what gives it away: a malformed TARGET refused with
malformed_existing because clobbering is unacceptable, while a malformed
SIBLING was skipped — yet siblings are the only thing the duplicate check
reads.

Adds a scan_incomplete verdict that refuses and names the offending file, so an
operator can quarantine or repair it. Fail-closed alone would let one stale
corrupt manifest wedge every dispatch for that planning dir permanently; naming
the file is what makes refusing survivable. malformed_existing is untouched, so
the target/sibling distinction stays visible. The docstring is updated — it
previously stated a rule the function did not keep.

memFs() gains an optional failReads map so these branches are reachable at all;
they had zero coverage because the fake could not express a per-file read
fault. The signature is additive and every existing caller is unchanged.

The regression is proved by a pair, not a single test. A control writes a
readable sibling holding a genuine non-terminal duplicate and asserts
duplicate_plan_id, establishing the scenario is real; the regression then makes
that same path unreadable and asserts scan_incomplete. A first draft of this
test used a corrupt-JSON fixture containing no plan_id at all while its comment
claimed otherwise — it duplicated the unparseable-sibling case and proved
nothing, which is the defect class this phase exists to remove.

* fix(#3057): make a guard's failure distinguishable from its benign result

Wave 1 of the negative-space backfill: the branches where a guard that could
not verify something reported the same value it reports when everything is
fine. That indistinguishability is the defect; every fix here makes the two
states tellable apart, and every test proves it with a pair — one for the
failure, one for the benign case. A single test cannot establish that two
states are distinguishable, which is the whole property being fixed.

state.cts phaseInventoryProvider returned null for both a real disk-scan
failure and a genuinely empty phases dir, so `state rebuild` could report
success while phase-table reconciliation never ran. It now returns a
discriminated result and the CLI surfaces phase_inventory_scan_failed plus a
reason. The reason field turned out never to have been wired into the emitted
JSON at all — it existed only as an internal variable — so a test could only
assert on the operator-facing note. It is a real field now.

state.cts treated an unreadable lock body the same as an empty one, applying
the 1-second stealable floor. A lock we cannot read is not a lock we know is
stale; an unreadable body is now held to the deadman ceiling like a live
holder.

verification.cts findStaleVerificationSummary returned null on any fs, scan or
clock failure — meaning "not stale". It now returns a discriminated
StaleCheckResult and the caller records that the check was indeterminate.

git-base-branch resolveBaseBranch returned 'main' both when no candidate branch
existed and when every git tier timed out. A diagnostics variant now reports
whether the answer was verified, and the CLI writes an unverified-fallback note
to stderr. The stdout contract five workflows parse is untouched.

worktree-safety snapshotWorktreeInventory left exists:true when statSync threw,
so a guard that could not check reported the worktree present; exists is now
tri-state and a stat failure surfaces as an 'unverified' finding.
planWorktreePrune reported 'no_worktrees' for a parse failure, which is not the
same as an empty list — and it drives a prune. It now reports 'parse_failed'.

Fixing the inventory change exposed a second fail-open in verify.cts: the
validate-health consumer silently dropped findings whose kind it did not
recognise, so the new kind would have vanished. That is closed too — worth
noting that the survey enumerated producers of degraded verdicts, not consumers
that discard them.

worktree-base-ref and state-transition gain the distinguishing signal without
changing what they do: headAbsenceVerified, and a phase-inventory scan meta.
Whether those guards should ACT differently is a product question this change
does not answer, and both are flagged rather than quietly settled.

rescueSummaryArtifacts is left alone: rescuing on an uncertain cat-file is
deliberate per #2556. It now has tests proving it, and a recorded negative
finding — git cat-file -e returns 128 for both "absent from HEAD" and a fatal
error, so "uncertain" and "certain-and-fine" are not separable at the git
level.

* test(#3057): assert typed values, not rendered text

Ten assertions in the rebuild CLI suite matched substrings of produced output —
STATE.md body fields, a markdown table row, an audit-log heading, and JSON keys
read as text. CONTRIBUTING prohibits that: if the code under test produces
text, the test asserts on its structured surface instead.

No production surface had to be built. Every one already existed and was
already compiled into bin/lib: stateExtractField for body fields,
parseMarkdownTable for the phase table, collectSection for the audit-log
section, and result.data.log — already a typed RebuildLogEntry[]. The tests
were matching rendered text sitting next to the structured data.

One of those assertions was passing for the wrong reason. `stdout.includes
('rebuilt')` matched the JSON KEY name, not a value: the dry-run path emits
`mutated` and the real path emits `rebuilt`, so it would have passed whether
the value was true or false. It now asserts the value.

external-job's refusal already had to name the offending file — that naming is
why the fail-closed variant is survivable rather than a permanent wedge — but
the tests proved it by substring of a prose message. The failure result now
carries offendingPath as its own field and the tests assert it by value. The
human message is unchanged; operators read it.

Array membership is left alone. `phaseIds.includes('99')` and
`result.updated.includes('Completed Phases')` are membership checks on real
arrays, not text matching, and converting them would weaken nothing and clarify
nothing.

* test(#3057): execute acquireStateLock instead of grepping its source

The non-EEXIST lock test asserted on the TEXT of the built .cjs and never
called acquireStateLock. It carried an allow-test-rule: architectural-invariant
exemption to permit that. A source grep proves a literal is present in a file,
not that the behaviour works — it is weaker than a liveness test, which at
least runs the code, and it was the only coverage the fatal-errno path had.

Replaced with tests that inject the errno through fs and assert what actually
happens: a fatal EACCES propagates out of acquireStateLock with zero backoff
sleeps, while EAGAIN/EINTR/EINVAL/EIO/ENOENT/ESTALE/EPERM/EBUSY retry once and
succeed. The exemption is removed and its allowlist entry with it.

One old assertion is deliberately not carried over: it checked the retryable
errnos were expressed as a Set rather than an inline literal. That is a shape
check with no runtime signature; the behavioural tests fail if the code reverts
to the old inline check, which is the regression it was really guarding.

The #3057 lock-body tests move into that same file rather than a new one, which
is what lint-test-file-count asks for and puts every acquireStateLock test in
one place.

* fix(#3057): surface an indeterminate staleness check to its callers

An isolated review caught an inconsistency inside this wave. Two of the three
"add the distinguishing signal" fixes wire through to something a user sees:
git base-branch writes an unverified-fallback diagnostic to stderr, and an
unverifiable worktree surfaces as a W020 finding. The third set
staleCheckIndeterminate on readVerificationStatus's result and nothing read it.

A signal nobody consumes leaves the fail-open exactly as silent as before: the
staleness check could fail and the operator saw precisely what they would see
if the answer were genuinely "not stale". That is the defect this issue exists
to remove, so it is not defensible as scaffolding when its two siblings in the
same change already wire through.

All five callers now surface it, each through the channel it already had rather
than a mechanism imposed uniformly: phase complete adds it to its existing
warnings array and, on the blocked path, as an additive note on the error text;
init and roadmap carry it as a field on output they already emit; the UAT
report carries it without ever gating passed/blockers; workstream inventory
takes an injectable writeDiagnostic mirroring the git base-branch idiom,
because its return shape had nowhere to hang a per-phase field without
rippling the builder's types.

The routing decision is unchanged everywhere. What changes is only that a
caller and an operator can now tell a failed check from a completed one.

That diagnostic carries structured meta rather than being asserted by regex —
the default still writes only the human message to stderr, but tests assert
phaseDir and reason by value. Two earlier assertions in this branch were
converted the same way; this was the last raw-text assertion left.

Also records a scope correction: the completePhaseCore guards now compare
stateReplaceField's result to the body instead of testing truthiness, so a
field whose substitution produced identical text no longer reports as updated.
That is a real behaviour fix, not the signal-only change this file was
described as carrying, and its tests cover both the changed and unchanged
cases.

* test(#3057): bound two heavy subprocesses for a loaded bench, not an idle one

The remote matrix surfaced three failures unrelated to this branch's changes.
All were bad tests, and a re-run would have hidden every one of them.

The reviewer-flags parse block bounded bash -> node -> a full gsd-tools cold
start at 5 seconds. On a bench running thirty thousand tests in parallel that
is not a hang, it is a busy machine. Raised to 30s, matching the convention
sibling suites already use for script invocations, with a comment saying what
the budget covers so nobody tightens it back. Two further copies of the same
5-second spawn in the same file had the identical defect and are raised too —
they were not in the failure report, but they will be next time.

The fragment-propagation test bounded npm run regen:derived — a full build plus
eight generators, the heaviest subprocess in the suite — at five minutes, and
node22 was killed near the end. The captured output proves it: every generator
had written its files and gen:install-tree had emitted all fifteen runtimes
before the kill. Raised to fifteen minutes.

That failure read as `null !== 0`, which says nothing. status null means killed,
not a non-zero exit, and the two want different responses: one is a timeout to
size correctly, the other is a real build break. The assertion now distinguishes
them and names the signal.

Neither test's assertions were weakened and no retry was added. A retry here
would suppress exactly the signal the timeout exists to produce.

* test(#3057): capture fd 1 through the mock tracker, not a raw reassignment

The phase suite reported zero test results on both lanes while running for five
and a half minutes and exiting 1. No assertion text, no stderr, four events for
the whole file: enqueue, start, dequeue, complete. That shape is not a failing
assertion — it is the runner being unable to read the child at all, because it
parses its event stream from the child's stdout.

The cause was the capture helper reassigning fs.writeSync directly. Proven
rather than assumed: a standalone probe patched fs.writeSync and called
process.stdout.write, and the interception fired only when fd 1 resolved to a
FILE, not when it was a pipe. The remote runner captures the event stream to a
file, so a helper that was invisible against a pipe swallowed the reporter's own
output on the bench. That is also why the two sibling suites wired the same way
in this change pass cleanly — they use the mock tracker, the seam io.test.cjs
established for this exact function.

The helper now uses t.mock.method with an explicit restore after each call, so
teardown belongs to node:test rather than a second hand-rolled implementation,
and the interception cannot outlive the one synchronous call it wraps even if
that call throws. Ten call sites thread the test context through; three test
callbacks gained the parameter they lacked.

The three B3 tests are untouched — same assertions, same fault injection. Only
how the context reaches the helper changed.

* test(#3057): capture phase-complete output from a subprocess, not fd 1

Two attempts to make in-process fd-1 interception safe both failed on the
bench. The suite reported zero test results on either lane while exiting 1 —
four events for the whole file — because the runner parses its event stream
from the child's stdout, and process.stdout.write routes through fs.writeSync
whenever fd 1 resolves to a file, which is how the runner captures. Patching
that seam anywhere in a file can therefore destroy the file's own reporting,
and tightening the window only moved the runtime from 326s to 125s without
recovering a single event.

So the interception is gone rather than tuned. The helper now spawns gsd-tools
as a real subprocess and reads stdout the way the OS already gives it to us,
which is what the rest of the suite does. It asserts the command succeeded
before parsing, so a genuine failure can no longer present as a JSON parse
error.

The two fault-injecting tests could not survive that move as written: a
subprocess cannot see a mock installed in the parent. Instead of reinstating
the interception they now produce the fault on disk — the summary artifact is
created as a dangling symlink, so the staleness check's real statSync throws
inside the child. That is a more honest fixture than a mock in any case, since
it is a condition a user's tree can actually be in. Skipped on Windows, matching
the existing symlink precedent in the write-guard suite.

Three further call sites turned out to depend on parent-process writeFileSync
mocks the subprocess could not see. Those call the CJS function directly, which
is what they always wanted — they never needed stdout at all.

* fix(#3057): one name for one signal, one encoding for one distinction

Standards review found four things this branch introduced, all of them
inconsistencies with itself rather than with the repo.

One upstream bit reached its consumers under three names —
verification_stale_check_indeterminate in two modules, the same value with
"stale" dropped in a third, and stderr only in the fourth. Standardised on the
long name wherever it is a field. The workstream inventory keeps its stderr
channel, since its return shape has nowhere to hang a per-phase field without
rippling the builder's types, but it now says the same word for the same thing.

worktree-safety encoded one three-way distinction two ways in a single file: a
named union for a finding's kind, and boolean|null for an inventory entry's
existence. The second is now a named union too.

Two assertions matched human prose because the blocked and non-blocked
completion paths carried no typed field for the signal. Both now assert typed
values. The first round of this fix added the field but left the regex beside
it, which is the banned pattern sitting next to its own replacement; the second
removed it and added an assertion on the reason enum so nothing was lost.

The remaining two were reasoned away before being fixed, and both reasons were
bad. "No typed surface exists" is the condition CONTRIBUTING says to fix by
adding one — it took three lines. "The file already does this dozens of times"
is not licence to add instance number thirty-one; a convention that violates a
documented rule is debt, not precedent.

Vocabulary differing across DIFFERENT modules is left alone: CONTEXT.md rejects
a single shared result envelope, so per-module shapes are precedented, and a
baseline smell does not outrank a documented standard.

A census of every line this branch adds to a test file now finds no regex or
substring assertion on produced prose: 87 strictEqual, 25 ok (all non-empty or
shape guards), 12 equal, 3 throws (all typed err.code predicates), 3
deepStrictEqual, 2 notStrictEqual.

9a76ca6783 fix(#1882): distinguish unterminated frontmatter from absent frontmatter (#2712)
* fix(#1882): distinguish unterminated frontmatter from absent frontmatter

extractFrontmatter returned {} both for a document with no frontmatter and for
one whose fence was opened and never closed, so a file truncated mid-write was
byte-identical to a legitimate no-metadata file. Verified live through
`gsd-tools frontmatter get`: both printed {} with exit 0 and nothing on stderr.

Per ADR-1411's "corrupt is not absent" amendment the {} return is preserved
exactly -- no caller may break -- and the cause is surfaced out-of-band as a
deduplicated, unconditional stderr diagnostic. That mechanism lands as a shared
leaf module rather than a per-site copy because three sibling findings in the
same epic need it identically; four hand-rolled copies of one behaviour is the
generative-fix-divergence defect class.

The discriminator is deliberately not "opened but never closed". A Markdown
document whose first line is a thematic break takes that exact branch, so
flagging on the missing fence alone reports corruption on good Markdown -- the
failure mode this class of check has shipped with before. The unterminated
region is instead run through extractFrontmatter's own parser (extracted as
parseYamlRegion so the probe and the real parse can never diverge) and reported
only when it yields at least one key.

Also folds an inline defect found while working: src/config-loader.cts carried
two NUL bytes in the JSDoc added by this epic's Phase 1 (3eb1cede2), making it
the only non-text file under src. file(1) reported it as data and text tools
silently skipped it, defeating the audit rule that says to search the authored
source; tsc passed because the bytes sat inside a comment, so no gate caught it.
It is live on next.

* test(#1882): pin unterminated-frontmatter detection and its negative space

Covers the discriminator on both sides. The positive rows are the issue's own
repro (LF and CRLF) plus the key-count boundary 0/1/2 around the ">= 1 parsed
key" threshold. The negative rows are the documents that reach the same branch
and must stay silent -- above all a Markdown thematic break at byte 0, which is
how this class of check has previously shipped a false positive on valid
Markdown.

Deduplication is tested on both halves of the composite key: a repeat of the
same (path, cause) is suppressed, a genuine second failure in a different file
is not, and a Windows and POSIX spelling of one path resolve to a single key.
The reset seam is asserted to actually clear -- #2674 is the precedent where a
reset that silently failed to clear made every later dedup assertion a vacuous
pass, and the cases only passed because each happened to pick an unused key, so
every case here uses a path unique to itself.

Assertions are on typed surfaces throughout -- the frozen reason enum and the
dedup-set size -- never on diagnostic prose. The one CLI-level case asserts a
differential between two runs (whether stderr is empty) rather than matching a
message, and is the wired user-reachable surface for this fix. Stream failure is
injected by overriding process.stderr.write and restoring it, never chmod 0o000,
which root bypasses.

Two properties guard the ~50 call sites of the changed function: the new
optional path argument is inert with respect to the parsed value, and LF/CRLF
spellings of a document still parse identically.

* fix(#1882): raise the truncation threshold and repair the dedup key

Isolated adversarial review found the one-key discriminator false-positives on
ordinary Markdown: a thematic break above a single labelled line -- `Note:`,
`Author:`, `TODO:`, `See:` -- parses as exactly one key and was reported as
corruption, which is the precise failure the design claimed to prevent and the
changeset promised was fixed. The threshold is now two keys. A file truncated
after exactly one key becomes a false negative; that is the same
precision-over-recall direction already taken at zero keys, and every GSD
artefact this guards carries two or more frontmatter keys.

Three dedup-key defects, each of which could silently swallow a real diagnostic:

- Backslash normalization is removed. A backslash is a legal filename character
  on Linux and macOS, so folding it to a forward slash made two genuinely
  different files share one key. Two spellings of one Windows path may now
  report twice; two distinct files can never silence each other. Lost signal is
  the worse failure.
- The key namespaces are tagged so a file literally named like the unnamed
  digest fallback can no longer collide with a path-less caller whose content
  hashes to that digest -- computable for any predictable content, no brute
  force needed.
- The source identity is computed once rather than hashed twice per emission.

Corrects the previous commit. The two NUL bytes in src/config-loader.cts were
NOT in a JSDoc comment as that message claimed; they were deliberate separators
in the live dedup key, and stripping them degraded it to bare concatenation.
They are restored as escape sequences -- byte-identical runtime string, and the
file is text again so grep can see it. The diagnostic script that misled me
indexed a character-offset string with a byte offset.

Also threads sourcePath through the STATE.md and PLAN.md readers so the two
artefacts epic #1879 is actually about name their file rather than reporting
under a content digest.

* test(#1882): correct fixtures and assertions left behind by the review fixes

The previous commit changed two behaviours deliberately and the suite still
encoded the old ones, so gsd-test came back red with six failures across both
lanes -- all of them mine.

Fixtures carrying a single frontmatter key no longer clear the two-key
truncation threshold, so the CLI differential and the two path-less dedup cases
were asserting a diagnostic that is now correctly withheld. They now carry two
keys, which is what a real interrupted write of a GSD artefact looks like.

The Windows/POSIX case asserted that two spellings of one path collapse to a
single key -- the exact folding that was removed because it also collapsed
genuinely distinct POSIX files whose names contain a backslash. Inverted to
assert they now report separately, with the reasoning recorded inline so the
trade is not silently reversed later: mild duplicate noise on one Windows path
is acceptable, a swallowed diagnostic is not.

* fix(#1882): name the file at every read site, and report each file once

The diagnostic reached only the four frontmatter CLI verbs, so ~47 of 53 call
sites reported a truncated file under an anonymous content digest instead of
naming it. Since naming the file is the whole point -- it is what an operator
can act on -- that was a gap in the deliverable, not a scoping choice. 43 of 53
sites now pass the resolved path.

Closing it surfaced a defect the original design missed. A single truncated
STATE.md is parsed twice in a normal run: once by the read wrapper, which holds
the path, and again by a pure core downstream, which is handed only the string
and cannot know it. Those two parses keyed separately, so one file produced two
diagnostics -- and wiring more sites made the collision more likely, not less.
Every emission now registers both identities the input could be known by and
checks both before writing, so whichever caller arrives first speaks and the
other is suppressed. Distinct files with distinct content still report
separately, which is the property ADR-1411 actually requires; two files whose
truncated content is byte-identical collapse to one report, which stays the
documented limit.

Ten call sites deliberately keep no path. Two are frontmatter's own round-trip
checks during set and merge, where passing a path would report on every write.
The other eight are the state-transition pure cores, which ADR-1769 defines as
(content, intent, deps) -> newContent with injected I/O; threading a path
through them would contradict that recorded decision, so it is surfaced rather
than taken unilaterally. With the widened key they no longer double-report, and
in the normal flow the named parse runs first, so the file is still named.

Refs #1879

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

* fix(#1882): inject the STATE.md path into the transition cores

The six state-transition cores parsed STATE.md frontmatter without knowing
which file it came from, so a truncated STATE.md reached the operator as an
anonymous content digest on exactly the artefact epic #1879 is named for.

ADR-1769 section 3 shapes these as (content, intent, deps) -> newContent with
injected deps, and deps is the seam for precisely this: something the core
cannot derive without doing I/O. It already carries roadmapProvider and a
phase-inventory provider on that basis, each documented as injected rather than
imported so the core stays pure and testable without disk access. A resolved
path is data, not I/O, so an optional sourcePath member extends the established
pattern rather than contradicting it, and every existing stub keeps compiling
because the member is optional.

updateCore and reconcileCurrentPosition take no deps and are left alone. With
the widened dedup key they cannot double-report, and in the normal flow the read
wrapper has already named the file by the time they run.

Also regenerates gsd-core/bin/lib/state-transition.cjs. That artifact is tracked
rather than gitignored, unlike most of its siblings, so leaving it stale would
have shipped a runtime without this change to anyone reading the repo without
building. tsc had skipped the re-emit because its incremental build info still
recorded an emit that had since been reverted, so the stale output survived a
clean build; clearing tsconfig.build.tsbuildinfo forced it. The
compiled-artifact-sync gate is what surfaced the drift and now reports all nine
tracked artifacts matching their source.

* fix(#1882): stop the widened dedup key from hiding a second file

The previous commit widened the dedup guard so one file parsed twice -- once by
a read wrapper holding the path, once by a pure core holding only the string --
reported once instead of twice. It did that by checking BOTH keys before
emitting, which silently traded one defect for a worse one: two DIFFERENT files
whose truncated content happened to be byte-identical now collided on the shared
content digest, and the second file's diagnostic was swallowed. That is the
over-coarse keying ADR-1411 explicitly forbids, reintroduced while fixing
something else.

The guard now checks only the key matching what the caller actually knows -- a
named read checks its path key, a path-less read checks its digest key -- while
still recording every key the input could later be identified by. The redundant
path-less re-parse of an already-named file stays silent, and two distinct files
always both report.

Verified across all six orderings: same file named-then-anonymous reports once;
two different files with identical content report twice; two different files
with different content report twice; the same path twice reports once; two
path-less parses of identical content report once; two path-less parses of
different content report twice.

The suite caught this -- twenty failures, all in the unusable-input tests that
reuse one truncated fixture across different paths. The local probe written
alongside the broken change did not, because it compared two files with
different content and could therefore only confirm the expected behaviour.

Refs #1879

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

* test(#1882): count diagnostics emitted, not identities interned

The suite measured the size of the dedup set as a stand-in for "how many
diagnostics were emitted". That held only while one emission recorded exactly
one key. Once an emission began recording every identity the input could later
be matched by -- a path key and a content key for the same file -- the set grew
by two per write and twenty assertions read 2 where they expected 1.

The production behaviour was correct throughout; the proxy was not. Set size
counts identities, which is an implementation detail of the guard. The
behavioural claim these tests exist to make is how many diagnostics an operator
actually saw, so the module now exposes that directly as an emission counter and
the suite asserts on it. The set-size accessor stays for assertions genuinely
about key shape.

The local probe written alongside the change did not catch this because it
counted process.stderr.write calls -- the right thing -- while the suite counted
set growth. Verification now asserts both and requires them to agree, so a
future divergence between the counter and real writes fails immediately rather

* test(#1882): retire two assertions that outlived the behaviour they described

Both tests encoded assumptions the dedup fix invalidated, and both were caught
by the suite rather than by the probe written alongside the change.

The forged-path case asserted that a file named like the anonymous digest
fallback must not suppress a later path-less report. That premise is gone: an
emission now records every identity its input could be matched by, so ANY named
report of some content silences the anonymous re-parse of that same content --
which is the same-file guard working as intended, and has nothing to do with the
crafted name. The property still worth defending is that a crafted filename can
never silence a real file reported under its own path, so that is what the test
now asserts, with the deliberate suppression documented beside it.

The reset-seam case ended by reading the size of the dedup set and expecting 1.
Set size counts interned identities, not diagnostics written, and one emission
now interns two. It asserts the emission counter for the event and keeps a
weaker set-size check for the interning.

* fix(#1882): close the review findings on the discriminator, dry-run and counter

Three orthogonal review passes ran against the final diff. Their findings:

A labelled preamble under a leading rule was still misreported. Raising the key
threshold to two only moved the boundary, because two colon-labelled lines are
as common in ordinary prose as one -- a document opening with a rule over an
Author and a Reviewed-by line, then prose, was called corrupt. Key count alone
cannot separate the two. What does is what follows: a write interrupted part way
through a frontmatter block ends mid-block, so every line of the region is still
frontmatter-shaped, whereas a document merely opening with a rule goes on to
prose. Both conditions are now required, and each closes a false-positive class
the other leaves open. Nested list values and indented continuations stay
frontmatter-shaped, so legitimate truncations are unaffected.

`state rebuild --dry-run` reported a truncated STATE.md anonymously. The write
path is named only because readModifyWriteStateMd parses with the path first;
the dry-run branch reads the file directly and never did. Dry-run is the
read-only mode an operator reaches for first when they suspect corruption, so it
is the one that most needed to name the file. reconcileCurrentPosition takes the
path as an optional argument now and rebuildCore passes it down. That function
was previously left alone on the grounds that a read wrapper always names the
file first -- this is the flow that disproves it.

The emission counter counted write attempts rather than writes, so on a broken
stderr it claimed a diagnostic had reached the operator when nothing had. It is
incremented only after a write that completed, and the broken-stderr test now
asserts the count as well as the return value.

Two documentation defects. The module described a guarantee it does not keep:
one file yields one diagnostic only when the named read comes first. The reverse
ordering emits twice, and that is deliberate -- a path-less caller cannot
identify its file, so suppressing the later named report would also suppress a
genuine second failure in a different file whenever two files share identical
truncated bytes, which ADR-1411 ranks the worse failure. The comment now states
the asymmetric guarantee and a test pins it. Separately, the CONTEXT.md glossary
entry still described backslash normalization that a later commit removed, and
asserted the opposite of what the tests pin; no lint checks prose against code,
so nothing caught it.

Also converts three body-level try/finally blocks to t.after(), per
CONTRIBUTING.md's rule that try/finally belongs only in helpers with no test
context -- the file's own emissionsDuring helper already did this correctly.

* docs(#1882): tell the operator what the truncated-frontmatter warning means

A user who has just seen the new warning is acting, not studying, so this lands
in the How-To quadrant beside the other "if you see X" branches in
debug-a-failed-execution, not in reference or explanation. It gives them what
the warning means for this run, three steps to restore the file, and the fact
that the warning changes no return value or exit code.

It also states the case that matters more than the warning itself: silence does
not prove the file is intact. GSD says nothing when the partial block carries
fewer than two fields or reads as prose, because a Markdown document opening
with a horizontal rule is indistinguishable from one of those. A reader chasing
missing metadata needs to know not to treat quiet as clean. Why that threshold
exists is explanation and deliberately stays out of a how-to.

* chore(#1882): backfill changeset pr number to 2712

* test(#1882): constrain each branch of the frontmatter-shape check

CI's mutation gate came in at 61.56 against a threshold of 62, and the surviving
mutants were concentrated in isFrontmatterShaped -- the function added last, in
response to review, and the only one never given tests of its own. It was
exercised solely through extractFrontmatter, which covers the composite decision
but leaves each branch of the predicate unconstrained: drop the blank-line
filter, or any one of the three shape alternatives, and every existing assertion
still passed.

Four cases now pin the halves independently. A blank line inside an interrupted
block must not disqualify it, which constrains the filter and its comparison. An
unindented list item and an indented folded-scalar continuation each exercise one
shape alternative that no other case reaches on its own -- the folded line is
neither a key nor a list item, so it is the only input that distinguishes the
indented branch. And two keys followed by prose must stay silent, which is the
negative half: it fails if the predicate is ever mutated to accept everything,
and it is the case that proves key count alone was never sufficient.

* test(#1882): register the unusable-input suite with the frontmatter mutation shard

The mutation gate reported an identical 61.56 across two runs whose only
difference was four added tests. That is the tell: the tests were never
executed. The frontmatter shard runs a fixed file list in stryker.config.mjs and
scripts/mutation-matrix.cjs, and tests/unusable-input.test.cjs was in neither, so
the entire suite covering the new unterminated-fence branch was invisible to the
gate while passing perfectly well in the normal run.

So the score was not measuring weak tests, it was measuring absent ones: #1882
added mutants to frontmatter.cjs and no test in the shard covered them. Both
lists gain the file; the config already notes they must stay in sync.

This is a registration ripple a new test file carries when it covers a
mutation-tracked module, alongside the .gitignore, eslint, inventory, glossary
and size-baseline ripples a new module carries. Nothing warned about it, which
is why two runs were spent before the identical score gave it away.

27c2279a39 fix(#2617): project verification next_command onto the runtime's command surface (#2700)
* fix(#2617): project verification next_command onto the runtime's command surface

`src/verification.cts` stored and synthesized hard-coded `/gsd:…` command strings
with no runtime context, and `phase complete` relayed that raw field straight into
its verification-blocked error. On a Codex project the suggested next step was
`/gsd:execute-phase`, a surface Codex does not install — it installs
`$gsd-execute-phase`.

The colon form is wrong twice over: `runtime-slash.cts` documents that "the colon
form is never emitted", so EVERY runtime — not just Codex — was being handed a
deprecated shape.

Fixed at the one routing seam rather than per caller:

- The routing table now stores BARE command names (`execute-phase`), never a
  prefixed literal. A prefixed literal in the table is what leaked.
- A single `projectNextCommand(bare, runtime, tail)` helper runs every return path
  through `formatGsdSlash`, preserving the argument tail (`01 --gaps`) untouched.
  An empty command stays empty, so "no next step" never becomes a bare prefix.
- `readVerificationStatus` accepts `opts.runtime`; `cmdVerificationStatus` and
  `phase complete` pass `resolveRuntime(cwd)`. The default is `claude`, which
  yields the canonical `/gsd-` hyphen form.

All four routed states are covered: missing, unknown, gaps_found, stale.

`init.cts` keeps its own projector deliberately. It already formats correctly, and
its command CONTENT differs from the router's on purpose (it appends the phase
number to `execute-phase`, and routes `human_needed` to `verify-work`).
Consolidating them would silently change `init`'s user-visible output, which this
issue did not ask for — so the divergence is left intact and the new tests instead
pin the property that matters on both surfaces: no raw colon form escapes.

Failing-first record: `origin/next:src/verification.cts` carried the four `/gsd:`
literals (lines 101, 108, 382, 392), and 11 existing assertions in
tests/verification-status.test.cjs asserted the colon form. Those 11 are corrected
in this commit — they passed before the fix and fail after it, which is precisely
the regression this closes.

Tests are folded into the module's primary suite rather than added as a third file
(`lint-test-file-count` caps the `verification` module at two, and consolidating is
its documented remedy — growing the allowlist is not). The `phase complete`
assertion reads `res.error`, not `res.stderr`: `runGsdTools` exposes a clean
non-zero exit's stderr as `error`, and reading the wrong field yields '' and makes
the whole check vacuous — which is how this user-visible path stayed untested.

* test(#2617): scope the new hooks to their describes; cover gaps_found through the CLI

Two findings from the orthogonal review of the first commit, both in the tests
this change added.

1. The folded block's `beforeEach`/`afterEach` were declared at MODULE scope.
   node:test applies module-scope hooks to every test in the file, so hooks added
   for the #2617 suites also wrapped the ~40 pre-existing tests in
   verification-status.test.cjs — making an unrelated block a single point of
   failure for them (currently benign, but a throwing hook would have failed
   suites it has nothing to do with). They now install inside their own describes
   via a small `useProjectionPhaseDir()` helper, with a comment recording why.

2. The live-CLI `phase complete` test exercised only the `missing` state, so a
   regression in any other routed branch would have shown up in the router's
   return object but not in the text a user actually reads. Added a `gaps_found`
   case per runtime, asserting the projected `plan-phase <N> --gaps` reaches the
   blocked-completion error.

Whole file verified green: 48 tests, 48 pass — the ~40 pre-existing ones included.

* test(#2617): correct the last colon-form assertion in phase.test.cjs

The remote run surfaced one more stale assertion outside
tests/verification-status.test.cjs: the `phase complete` canonical-gate suite
matched the blocked-completion message against `/\/gsd:verify-work 0?1/`.

That project fixture configures no runtime, so it takes the `claude` default,
which now yields the canonical `/gsd-verify-work 01` hyphen form. The colon form
this asserted is exactly the deprecated shape #2617 removes — `runtime-slash.cts`
documents that "the colon form is never emitted".

Like the eleven corrected in the first commit, this assertion passed before the
fix and fails after it, which is the regression record rather than a test being
loosened: the surrounding assertions (failure reason, `stale` wording, and that
neither ROADMAP.md nor STATE.md was mutated) are untouched.

Verified against the real CLI: the emitted message is now
"Phase 1 verification is incomplete: Verification is stale. Re-run verify-work
before transition. Next: /gsd-verify-work 01".

* fix(#2617): collapse the two verification projectors into one seam

The orthogonal review found that `init.cts` carried a second, independently
maintained `verificationNextCommand()` that had drifted from the router's table
in CONTENT, not just formatting:

  state          router (before)          init.cts
  missing        execute-phase            execute-phase <N>
  unknown        execute-phase            execute-phase <N>
  human_needed   ""  (no command)         verify-work <N>

The `human_needed` row is the sharp one: two GSD surfaces disagreed about whether
a next command existed at all, and the router's own next_action told the user to
"re-run the verify step until status is passed" while naming no command to run.

init's answers were the useful ones, so the router adopts them and init now
delegates to it — satisfying the issue's "keep one verification-routing seam"
direction. `verificationNextCommand()` is deleted.

Appending the phase number surfaced a trap the old bare commands hid.
`extractPhaseToken` also returns project-code forms (`PROJ-07`), which are
indistinguishable by shape from an ordinary directory name — `gsd-651-parent`
yields `gsd-651` — so deriving the argument blindly emits
`execute-phase gsd-651`. The number is therefore appended only when it is
unambiguously numeric, or when the caller supplies it explicitly. `init` does
supply it: its `phaseDir` is unresolved in several branches, where the router
could not derive one at all.

  dir `01-example`      -> $gsd-execute-phase 01, $gsd-verify-work 01
  dir `gsd-651-parent`  -> $gsd-execute-phase,    $gsd-verify-work

Suites verified green against the built lib: verification-status 50/50,
phase 268/268, init 143/143, init-manager 40/40. `npm run lint:ci` clean.

User-visible change beyond the reported bug, as agreed: `query verification.status`
and `phase complete` now append the phase number for missing/unknown, and emit
`verify-work <N>` for human_needed where they previously emitted nothing.

2c54f219c9 fix(#2348): derive verification staleness from git commit time, not mtime (#2394)
readVerificationStatus() decided a phase's verification was `stale` (a
*-SUMMARY.md newer than the *-VERIFICATION.md) by comparing filesystem
mtimes. mtimes are assigned at checkout time and are not preserved by
`git clone` / `cp -R`, and any unrelated `touch` / reformat / editor-save
re-stales a valid report — so a committed phase declaring `status: passed`
could silently read `stale` on a fresh clone purely from checkout order,
falsely rewriting a ROADMAP row and blocking milestone close (#2022 gate).

Each file's effective "last changed" time is now its git commit time when
the file is committed AND clean, and its mtime otherwise (uncommitted or
working-tree-dirty). Both are real wall-clock change times, so a summary
committed after — or edited after — the verification reads stale, while a
clean fresh clone stays passed. Git commit time is content-tied and clone-
stable; mtime is retained only where it is the true last-changed signal.

Implementation:
- Two bounded git calls per phase (never one-per-file): `git log
  --first-parent --format=%ct --name-only` for commit times, and `git diff
  --name-only HEAD` to drop dirty files. readVerificationStatus runs
  per-phase in the init/roadmap listing loops, so per-file spawning would
  fan out to P×(S+1) git processes ("Unbounded Subprocesses").
- `--first-parent` so merge commits report their file lists (plain
  `--name-only` omits merge diffs and would under-date merge-landed content).
- The dirty-check fails SAFE: if `git diff` is inconclusive (errors / exits
  non-zero) the commit times are discarded so every file falls back to mtime,
  never trusting a possibly-stale commit time (no false "not stale").
- Paths matched back by `/`-bounded suffix (root vs nested `plans/` can't
  collide) and passed after `--` (dash-named files can't be read as flags).
- A phase with no summaries skips git entirely; the scan short-circuits on
  the first stale summary.

A `phaseCleanCommitTimesMs` seam keeps the unit tests hermetic (no git
spawn); the resolver's two-call error handling is unit-tested via an
injected execGit; two real-git integration tests lock the end-to-end path,
the committed-then-edited (dirty) regression, and the `--` argv guard.

77c7b4fc9d fix(#1522): enforce canonical verification before phase transition (#1548)
* fix: require fresh phase verification before transition

* no-mistakes(review): Fix canonical verification closeout gates

* no-mistakes(review): Fix verify-work frontmatter promotion command

* no-mistakes(review): Fix stale verification gates

* no-mistakes(review): Fix canonical verification routing gates

* no-mistakes(review): Fix verification dependency and runtime routing gates

* no-mistakes(review): Block stale verification bypasses

* fix: handle large init manager outputs in verification workflows

* chore: update changeset pr number

* fix(verify-work): use fresh verification.status for stale gate

The stale check after UAT used phase_completion.verification_status from
session-start INIT while human_needed promotion already queried fresh
verification.status. Align the stale gate with the canonical query so
mid-session verification refresh is not ignored.

* fix(init): skip roadmap-checked phases when selecting next_phase

Roadmap-only phases without a disk directory were still promoted to
next_phase when their checkbox was already checked. Exclude
checkboxComplete phases so progress routing does not point at work the
roadmap already marks done.

* fix: gaps_found not overridden by stale, transition uses canonical verification

- verification.cts: check gaps_found before stale so gap-closure routing
  is not masked by a newer summary mtime
- phase.cts: remove redundant findStaleVerificationSummary — readVerificationStatus
  already handles stale detection
- transition.md: replace raw grep on file content with verification.status query
  to avoid false-positive blocks from body text matching

* ci: retrigger tests after rebase

* fix(transition): replace gsd_run advisory check with awk frontmatter extraction

The runtime launcher is not defined until the update_roadmap_and_state step
bash block (~line 165). The early verify_completion block used gsd_run to
query verification.status, which violated the runtime-launcher-parity test:
'preamble appears AFTER the first gsd_run reference'.

Replace the gsd_run call with an awk-based frontmatter extractor that reads
only the status: field between the two --- fences. This avoids both the
preamble-ordering constraint and the original false-positive grep bug where
body text like 'previous_status: gaps_found' would match a full-text regex.

The phase.complete gate at update_roadmap_and_state is the canonical
enforcement point; this early check is advisory only.

Also update workflow-size-baseline.json for the updated transition.md size.

Fixes: runtime-launcher-parity test (B)

* fix: re-check verification under planning lock in phase complete

Move readVerificationStatus into withPlanningLock so stale verification
cannot slip through when a SUMMARY.md is written between the gate and
the roadmap/state mutation. Return the blocked status from the lock
callback and emit the error after release to avoid leaving .lock behind.

* fix(transition): gate on canonical verification.status including stale

Replace awk frontmatter read with verification.status query so transition
blocks when summaries are newer than VERIFICATION.md, matching phase.complete
and other workflows (autonomous, progress, verify-work).

* Fix workflow verification gates for yolo transition and stale routing

Require VERIFY_STATUS passed before yolo/interactive transition advance.
Route stale verification recovery to verify-work, matching canonical projection.

* fix(transition): use verification.status query for stale-aware advisory check

The awk-based check read raw frontmatter status: passed, which misses the
stale case where summaries are newer than the VERIFICATION.md file even
though the frontmatter still says passed. The stale status is computed from
file modification times, not stored in frontmatter.

Move the preamble to the verify_completion bash block (the first block with
a gsd_run call) so gsd_run query verification.status can be used for the
advisory check. This gives the full readVerificationStatus logic including
mtime-based staleness detection, matching the enforcement gate at phase.complete.

Capture full JSON (VERIFY_JSON) so next_action can be included in the
advisory output alongside the status.

Also update workflow-size-baseline.json for the updated transition.md size.

the runtime, and restore the shim at its proper location before

Address review blocker B1 on #1548: findStaleVerificationSummary ran fs.readdirSync

so a TOCTOU race (a SUMMARY listed by scanPhasePlans then removed before statSync) or any
FS error threw uncaught into callers NOT under the planning lock (init.manager /
init.progress / uat-predicate). Wrap the body in try/catch degrading to 'not stale', and
thread the injectable opts.fs seam (add statSync to FsLike, pass fsImpl from the caller)
for parity with readVerificationStatus's no-throw contract and testability. Also adds the
Verification Module glossary entry to CONTEXT.md (review B3).

ec2ecdf28b refactor(#1283): T3 — migrate 9 multi-leaf callers off the core spine (batch 2) (#1285)
Migrate 9 files' entire core surface to the leaf modules directly
(behaviour-identical — leaves are the objects core re-exports by reference):
config, docs, gap-checker, graphify-command-router (namespace core.output ->
io.output), init (17 core symbols -> 8 leaves), profile-output, uat,
verification, workstream.

All 9 now import zero core symbols and are removed from the allowlist
(18 -> 9). Stale core.* docstrings corrected. core.cts re-exports untouched
(still serve the remaining 9 files); teardown is T-final. No behaviour change.

4056d830bc refactor(#651): consolidate verification-status routing into one queryable seam (#755)
* refactor(#651): consolidate verification-status routing into one queryable seam

The passed/gaps_found/human_needed verification status was re-encoded as
bare strings across three prose surfaces (gsd-verifier emits, execute-phase
routes, ship gates), each independently deciding the per-status next action
with no parity coupling — the DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX class.

Give the enum one home: src/verification.cts (-> bin/lib/verification.cjs)
exposing `gsd_run query verification.status <phaseDir>` returning a typed
{status, next_action, next_command}. ship.md and execute-phase.md now consume
the query instead of re-deriving the routing in prose; gsd-verifier.md points
at the shared vocabulary as the single emitter (values unchanged).

Also fixes the latent broad-grep status misread (DEFECT.FRONTMATTER-SCALAR-
BROAD-GREP): execute-phase.md read `grep "^status:"` over the whole report, so
a body `status:` line could misroute a valid phase. Extraction is now
frontmatter-scoped in one place. A parity test fails if a verifier status
gains no route. Lands the two CONTEXT.md DEFECT entries captured on the issue.
