d24e22b156 enhance(#3912): gsd-tools declares outcomes, pinned at v1 (#3983)
* enhance(#3912): gsd-tools declares outcomes, pinned at v1

ADR-3889 §4. Phase 6 already moved error()'s terminator onto the seam, so what
remained was the declaration — and the pin that makes it invisible today.

The census corrected two documented figures before any code changed.
ERROR_REASON has exactly 25 members (the ADR and epic were right; an earlier
note of mine claiming 23 was wrong and is corrected). And output({error}) is
**64 sites across 9 files, not the 60 ADR-2980 ratified** — the module shape
holds but the total drifted +4: frontmatter 7 not 6, phase 4 not 2, roadmap 3
not 2. That matters because this phase's criterion demands the pin be asserted
over the enumerated population rather than sampled; asserting over a stale 60
would leave four sites unpinned while claiming full coverage, which is the
shape of failure this epic exists to remove.

The issue does not state the fact that shapes the design: output() never
touches the exit code. Confirmed by reading it — it writes fd 1 and returns.
So a declared outcome for those 64 sites had nowhere to be READ. The mapping
was never the work; wiring somewhere for the declaration to land was.

The seam already existed twice over. cli-exit.cts holds two globalThis-Symbol
cells, each because the module is emitted to three locations and a module-level
`let` would let instances disagree, and runMain already maps a code returned by
main(). A third cell inherits that solution. output() records DEGRADED for any
{error} payload — key-order agnostic, which is exactly why the "42 sites"
figure undercounts — and runMain projects the cell only when main() returns
nothing, so an explicit return still wins.

error() maps its reason through a table over the closed 25-member enum, leaving
all 278 call sites untouched; 226 of them pass no reason at all. The version
gate lives in error(), NOT in projectOutcome: registered names are
version-invariant there, so mapping a reason straight through would make USAGE
project to 64 under v1 and break the pin on its first line. projectOutcome is
left exactly as Phase 2 shipped it, DEGRADED's 0/80 asymmetry included.

Proven rather than asserted. v1 is byte-identical across three real CLI paths —
config-get plain, config-get --json-errors, and an output({error}) path —
matching exit code and exact bytes against the pre-change build. Under
GSD_EXIT_CONTRACT=v2 the same commands now exit 66 (CONFIG_KEY_NOT_FOUND ->
NO_INPUT) and 80 (DEGRADED), both looked up through the registry. An
anti-vacuity test pins that v1 and v2 genuinely differ for at least one reason,
because without it a mapping where everything projects to 1 under both versions
would satisfy every other assertion and the declaration would be theatre.

A1 iterates all 25 enum members and A3 asserts over the measured 64-site
population, so a 26th reason or a 65th site fails until it is given a mapping —
the drift guard this phase needs, given ADR-2980's own count had drifted +4
unnoticed.

Verification runs on the remote runner.

* fix(#3912): the outcome cell must never lower an exit code

The remote run caught a fail-open that this phase introduced, in the phase
whose entire purpose is removing fail-opens.

`state validate --strict` on a missing STATE.md exited **0** where it must exit
1. Mechanism: `runMain` projected the pending outcome whenever `main()` returned
void, and under v1 DEGRADED projects to 0 — so a `process.exitCode` already set
non-zero by the command was clobbered down to success. Confirmed live against a
fixture, before and after.

This refutes a review conclusion recorded earlier in this phase, that the cell
was "fail-closed and can never mask a failure as success". It could, and did.
Recording that plainly so the assumption is not repeated: the cell's danger was
never only that it might add a failure — it was that projecting it
unconditionally overwrites whatever decision came before.

Projection is now guarded: it may set a code only when none is set, and an
already-non-zero exit code always wins. The full precedence — explicit `main()`
return, then an existing non-zero exitCode, then the declared outcome — is
written at the projection site. A regression test drives a void return with a
pre-set non-zero code and a pending DEGRADED, and fails against the pre-fix
build.

The second failure was my test encoding the wrong contract, not a code defect.
It asserted `output({found:false, error: undefined})` records DEGRADED because
the KEY is present. `JSON.stringify` drops undefined, so the payload the user
receives is `{"found":false}` — carrying no error at all, and calling that
degraded would hand back exit 80 under v2 for output that reads as clean. The
discriminator is a serializable error VALUE, not key presence. The test now
pins `{error: undefined}` as explicitly NOT degraded, and the design doc's
wording is tightened to match.

Verification runs on the remote runner.

* docs(#3912): the versioned exit contract, and a flag defect the docs found

Diataxis pass for Phase 8, plus a real fix that only surfaced because writing
the how-to meant running its own examples.

The docs. ADR-2980's "Revisit if" clause asked for exactly the versioned
projection this phase provides, so it gets an amendment naming #3912 /
ADR-3889 section 4 as that boundary: v1 stays 0 byte-for-byte, v2 projects
DEGRADED to 80. The amendment also records the count drift rather than
restating a stale figure — the ADR ratified 60 output({error}) sites in 9
modules; the AST-measured population is 64 across the same 9 (frontmatter 7
not 6, phase 4 not 2, roadmap 3 not 2). The pin is asserted over the
enumerated 64. json-errors.md gains the outcome-declaration reference,
including the precedence order a review pass got wrong and the suite refuted:
an explicit main() return, then an already-set non-zero process.exitCode, then
the declared outcome. Projection may only ever set a code, never lower one.

A how-to is owed here and is written, not skipped. Under v1 nothing changes,
so the audience is an operator opting into v2 and needing to know what the
codes mean for a CI gate — a migration, which is how-to shaped. It covers
turning v2 on, the code table, why 80 is "ran and reported a condition" rather
than a crash, and how to split a gate that treats any non-zero as fatal. No
tutorial: there is no new entry point to learn, and under the default contract
a reader would be walked through observing nothing.

The defect. Running the how-to's own Step 1 example returned

    $ gsd-tools --exit-contract=v2 state validate --strict
    Error: Unknown command: --exit-contract=v2          (exit 64)

while the same flag trailing the subcommand worked and exited 80. The flag
half-worked, by argv position. resolveContractVersion scans argv
non-destructively, so the token survived into the dispatcher, which treats
argv[2] as the command name. --json-errors had already solved precisely this
at gsd-tools.cjs:4455, under a comment naming the hazard verbatim: "The argv
splice must happen here too, otherwise the dispatcher below sees
--json-errors as an unknown command." The later flag never got the same
treatment.

Fixed rather than documented around: the version is resolved first — which
memoizes the cell and makes an invalid value throw early — and then every
--exit-contract= token is spliced out of the dispatcher's argv copy.
--exit-contract is now listed in TOP_LEVEL_USAGE, where it never was. The
regression test pins leading position, trailing position, agreement between
the two, and a loud failure on v3 rather than a silent fall back to v1.

Neither review engine would have caught this: the defect is invisible in the
diff, because the diff does not touch argv handling. It surfaced only from
running the documentation's own example. Writing a how-to is an execution pass.

Verification runs on the remote runner.

Refs #3912

* fix(#3912): the flag splice has to run before the run-with-timeout return

An isolated review of the previous commit found that the fix did not deliver
what it claimed, and that two of its own tests were weak. All three findings
reproduced by execution before any change was made.

The fix was placed below a return. main() intercepts `run-with-timeout` at
gsd-tools.cjs:4436 and returns from there — above both the --json-errors block
and the --exit-contract splice added in the previous commit. So the flag still
died in leading position for that one command:

    $ gsd-tools --exit-contract=v2 run-with-timeout 5 -- node -e "..."
    Error: Unknown command: run-with-timeout        (exit 64, child never ran)

The previous commit message and the test's describe-block both claimed
position-independence unconditionally. That was an overclaim, not a gap left
open, and it is the part worth naming: the fix was verified by hand on the
commands I happened to think of, and `run-with-timeout` returns before the
code I was verifying.

Both global-flag blocks now run above the interception, with a comment naming
it so a later edit cannot slide them back down. Moving --json-errors up fixes
the identical pre-existing bug for that flag, verified failing beforehand
(exit 1, sdk_unknown_command). Fixing the sibling is deliberate: same defect,
same block, and a known-broken twin next to a fixed one is not a resting state.

Two tests were not pulling their weight. The invalid-value test was vacuous —
it passed against the pre-fix build, because `--exit-contract=v3` already
exited 1 there and already printed the resolve error lazily through
error() -> getContractVersion. Both its assertions held before the fix, so it
pinned nothing. The real discriminator is that the pre-fix build emits BOTH
"Unknown command: --exit-contract=v3" and the resolve error, while the fixed
build emits only the latter; the test now asserts that absence.

The leading-position and leading==trailing tests asserted proxies — "not 64",
"no Unknown command", "the two agree" — none of which pin a value, and all of
which would survive both positions being identically broken. With a .planning
directory and no STATE.md, state-snapshot exits exactly 80 under v2 and 0
under v1 in both positions. Those numbers are pinned now. The multi-token case
the descending splice loop exists for is covered too, and run-with-timeout has
regression tests for both flags.

The lesson is narrower than "test more". Hand-verifying the production
behavior does not verify that the test would have caught its absence. The
pre-fix binary has to be run against the test's own assertions.

Investigated and deliberately not changed: splicing before --cwd parsing
degrades one diagnostic from "Missing value for --cwd" to "Invalid --cwd:
<path>", but that is pre-existing — verified on the pre-fix build via
--json-errors, which already did it. This change joins the pattern rather than
creating it, and both forms exit 64 on malformed input either way.

Verification runs on the remote runner.

Refs #3912

* chore(#3912): backfill changeset pr numbers to 3983

* test(#3912): pin the reason-table invariant as set equality, not a count

A graph-backed review flagged the unchecked lookup in
expectedErrorCode3912. Investigated by execution: the drift guard DOES
hold — for an unmapped reason under v2 the production error() yields 1
while the table yields undefined, so the assertion fails. Not a
correctness defect, and deliberately NOT made tolerant, since a tolerant
lookup would destroy the guard.

Two real problems remained. The guard asserted the wrong invariant: it
counted the TABLE's keys at 25 rather than checking they match the
ENUM's values, so a renamed member keeps the count at 25 and slips past,
and a 26th member leaves the table at 25 and slips past too. Both were
then caught only indirectly, by an undefined mismatch producing 'must
exit undefined'. It is now a sorted set equality, so the failure names
the specific missing or extra reason.

And the comment above it described a '?? FAIL' fallback that does not
exist anywhere in the function. It now states what the code actually
does, verified by running it rather than by reading it.

d98b55562c enhance(#3910): the raw terminator is banned by construction (#3980)
* enhance(#3910): move the last src/ terminators onto the seam

Phase 6 bans the raw terminator by construction, which it cannot do while
violations stand. A census found 12 sites the rule would flag; nine of the ten
unsanctioned ones were owned by no phase of the epic at all — a coverage hole
in the decomposition, since P0-P2 are infra, P3 the gate modules, P4 the
scanners, P5 the fragments, P7 the hooks, P8 io.cts, and P6 itself only adds
the rule. `src/**/*.cts` now holds exactly 2 raw exits, both inside
`terminateNow`, the single sanctioned site.

`io.cts`'s `error()` is the interesting one. It was first called substantive on
"dozens of callers, contract risk" — asserted, not measured, and the
measurement refuted it: 289 call sites, zero inside a try whose catch would
swallow a throw. The real obstacle was structural instead: `terminateNow`
cannot emit exit 1, because ADR-3889 §1 makes 0 and 1 unallocatable and
`nameForExitCode(1)` throws. So the only route is `ExitError` under `runMain`,
which sets exitCode and writes stderr only when the error carries a user
message — keeping the existing stderr write and throwing a message-less
ExitError is observably identical.

That census was still too narrow, and running the CLI proved it. It asked
whether the CALL sits in a try/catch; the two regressions that surfaced were
interceptors elsewhere on the stack:

- `command-routing-hub.cts`'s `dispatch()` swallowed the ExitError into a
  HandlerFailure, so the caller emitted a duplicated, wrong stderr line on
  every Hub-routed path. It now rethrows ExitError explicitly — the same shape
  `gsd-tools.cjs` already used at two dispatch sites, so this follows an
  established idiom rather than inventing one.
- the profile-pipeline router's deliberately un-awaited `.catch(e => error(...))`
  turned an ExitError rejection into an uncaught exception; it now mirrors
  runMain's handling.

`edge-probe` and `ui-consideration-probe` gained `runMain` wrappers because
probe-core's new throwing default would otherwise have escaped them.

A follow-up sweep of every dispatcher — 19 command routers, the Hub, the
gsd-tools dispatch seams — found no further swallowing catch. The admitted
bound: ~1260 non-rethrowing catches repo-wide were scanned structurally but not
individually classified. Both real regressions were found by execution, not by
reading, so the suite is the detector that matters here.

`gsd-tools.cjs:253` stays a raw exit deliberately: it is the ensureRuntimeBuild
bootstrap, which runs before cli-exit is required, so the seam does not yet
exist. It needs a second allowlist entry, which means #3910's "single allowlist
entry" criterion is unachievable as written.

Verification runs on the remote runner.

Refs #3910

* enhance(#3910): ban the raw terminator by construction

Adds local/require-registered-exit and registers it on all four globs:
src/**/*.cts, scripts/**/*.cjs, hooks/**/*.js, gsd-core/bin/**/*.cjs.

Registering on the .cts glob is load-bearing, not redundant — the emitted .cjs
mirrors are globally eslint-ignored, so a rule registered only on the emitted
globs is blind to the sources. That is the #3496 lesson, and it is how the
previous guard became invisible: n/no-process-exit was 'error' in one block yet
fired zero times on all three surfaces that mattered.

The dead n/no-process-exit: 'off' block for hooks is deleted in the same PR.
Phase 7 migrated every hook, so the exemption now protects nothing.

Two allowlist entries, not the one #3910 anticipated. terminateNow's body is
detected STRUCTURALLY — a process.exit lexically inside a function of that name
— rather than by a path and line number that rots. The second is
gsd-tools.cjs's ensureRuntimeBuild bootstrap, an inline disable with its reason
at the call site: it runs before ./lib/cli-exit.cjs is required, so the seam
does not exist yet and no migration is possible. #3910's 'single allowlist
entry' criterion is therefore unachievable as written, and is amended with the
measurement rather than quietly missed.

The rule is proven able to FAIL, per glob: four positive controls, one for each
registered glob. A guard that cannot be shown to fire is not a guard. Four
matching negative controls pin process.exitCode as never-flagged — conflating
it with process.exit is what inflated this epic's original census 2x. An
allowlist case and a near-miss (same shape, different function name) fix the
structural detection in place.

Verification runs on the remote runner.

Refs #3910

* fix(#3910): stop the detached catch from throwing, and scope the allowlist

Review findings, one of them a regression the previous fix introduced.

_handlePipelineRejection called error() from inside a DETACHED .catch().
error() now throws, so that throw became an unhandled promise rejection — and
on Node >=15 with --unhandled-rejections=throw, Node dumps a raw stack trace
with absolute paths on top of the clean Error: line. That was impossible before
this branch, because process.exit(1) terminated synchronously before any
rejection machinery could observe it. The handler now writes byte-identical
stderr itself, in both plain and --json-errors form, and sets exitCode in
place. This was the THIRD interceptor found, and like the first two it surfaced
by running the CLI rather than by reading code.

The rule's terminateNow allowlist had no path constraint, so any function
anywhere named terminateNow across all four globs inherited it. It now requires
the structural nesting check AND a cli-exit.cts basename — still no line
numbers to rot.

The four per-glob positive controls only varied a filename inside RuleTester,
which never resolves eslint.config.mjs. Since the rule is filename-agnostic,
all four exercised identical logic and none proved the rule was WIRED — this
epic's own failure mode. A registration test now asserts the rule resolves for
a real path in each glob, and it is proven able to fail: removing one glob's
registration flips the resolved value from [2] to undefined.

Three evasions the rule cannot catch (computed member, aliasing, .call/.apply)
are documented in its header and pinned by tests, labelled as known limits
rather than endorsed, so a future change that starts catching them is a
deliberate diff.

Refs #3910

* docs(#3910): document the raw-terminator ban

Reference and Explanation via a new docs/features fragment (FEATURES.md is
generated from it, not hand-edited). How-To:
docs/how-to/resolve-a-raw-terminator-finding.md, indexed from docs/README.md —
a contributor whose code trips the rule picks among three replacements by
surface (runMain/ExitError for a CLI path, terminateNow for a hook,
process.exitCode where the process should drain), and needs to know why
process.exitCode is correct and never flagged, since conflating the two is what
inflated this epic's original census 2x.

The page also names the three patterns the rule cannot catch and says plainly
that using one to dodge it is a review finding, not a fix — documenting them
without that sentence would read as a sanctioned workaround.

docs/INVENTORY.md deliberately untouched: eslint-rules/ is not a tracked family
in the manifest (verified — a regen produced a zero diff), so a hand-written row
would desync the table from the family it claims to belong to.

Refs #3910

* fix(#3910): a catch that sniffs the message swallows an ExitError

The remote run returned 41 failures, and one of them was a live production
regression rather than a test artifact.

`cmdMilestoneComplete`'s unstarted-phase guard re-threw only when
`e.message.startsWith('Cannot mark milestone complete:')`. `error()` used to
`process.exit(1)`, uncatchable, so the guard always fired. It now throws an
ExitError carrying no message, the string test fails, and the ExitError was
silently swallowed — the guard stopped blocking milestone completion entirely.
Proven against the real CLI: pre-fix, a milestone with an unstarted phase
archived at exit 0; post-fix it is blocked at exit 1 with the intended message.

That is a guard that silently stopped guarding, which is this epic's thesis
appearing inside the phase meant to enforce it. Worth stating plainly: an
earlier census DID examine this site, saw a `throw e`, and classified it as
rethrowing. It was wrong — the rethrow is conditional, and a conditional
rethrow on an inspected message is indistinguishable from an unconditional one
unless you read the predicate.

So the class was swept rather than patched where it was tripped over. An AST
census of every CatchClause across src/, gsd-core/bin/ and scripts/ found 38
conditional rethrows. Two more had the same defect and are fixed the same way:
`config.cts`'s `'No config.json'` sniff and `gsd-tools.cjs`'s
`e.name === 'WindowsError'`. The remaining 25 are provably unreachable — every
one wraps a bare fs, YAML, manifest-require or git-exec primitive that cannot
throw ExitError — and two were scanner false positives, both explained. Each
fix is an unconditional `instanceof ExitError` rethrow placed BEFORE any
inspection, matching the idiom command-routing-hub and gsd-tools already used.

Residual bound, stated rather than implied: zero known-reachable unfixed sites,
contingent only on error() never later being called inside one of those 25
primitive try blocks.

The remaining failures were harness artifacts, and the harnesses were corrected
to the new contract rather than the assertions weakened. Tests that mocked
`process.exit` to observe termination now catch ExitError and assert its code;
tests parsing stderr as a single JSON object still assert exactly that, with
their ad-hoc `node -e` scripts wrapped in runMain so it is true. milestone and
phase-resolution-parity needed no test change — they were correctly written
against the real bug and are what caught it.

Verification runs on the remote runner.

e20744eacb enhance(#3884): failure is a value — strict argv, and --pick that signals absence (#3922)
* test(#3884): failing-first coverage for strict argv and absence-signalling --pick

ADR-3473 §8.4 says failure is a value. Three families currently encode failure as
success, and this commit pins each one RED before the fix lands.

Measured on this tree, 2026-08-26:

  gsd-tools generate-slug "test" --pick nonexistent
    -> empty stdout, exit 0                                     (#3365)

  gsd-tools audit-open --pick nonexistent_field
    -> dumps the entire human-readable audit report, exit 0

  gsd-tools generate-slug "Hello World" --raw --pick bogus
    -> prints "hello-world", another field's value, exit 0

  gsd-tools query state.planned-phase 3        (positional, no --phase)
    -> exit 0; STATE.md's "Phase: 2 of 5 (Widget Support)" is overwritten to
       "Phase: null - READY TO EXECUTE" and the frontmatter gains a corrupted
       current_phase_name                                        (#3358)

tests/pick-flag.test.cjs:27 previously asserted the #3365 defect as the contract
("returns empty string for missing field", success === true). That assertion is
replaced by the required behavior rather than deleted.

The new parseNamedArgs block calls the spec-object signature that does not exist
yet, so it fails today by construction. The 11 existing behavior-lock tests are
left untouched here; they are corrected in the implementation commit.

C1/C4 assert at the consumer's output - STATE.md's bytes - per ADR-3180
Decision 4(b). A unit assertion on the parser would have passed throughout this
defect's life.

* enhance(#3884): failure is a value — strict argv, and --pick that signals absence

Implements ADR-3473 §8.4. Absence, emptiness and failure stop being interchangeable
ways to say "I could not answer".

parseNamedArgs (src/command-arg-projection.cts)
  Takes a spec object with a REQUIRED `positionals: number | 'rest'` and returns the
  hub's Result shape instead of a bare Record. Declaring the positional arity is what
  makes #3358's call site unrepresentable rather than merely detectable: an unrecognized
  flag or a token past the declared boundary is now InvalidArgs, naming the offending
  token and listing the accepted flags. The legacy positional-array call shape throws
  a TypeError — an internal invariant violation per ADR-3473 Decision 2, so a stale
  hand-written .cjs call site fails loudly instead of destructuring undefined off a
  Result. parseNamedArgsOrExit projects a failure onto the caller's error(); it is a
  projection over the one parser, not a second parser.

  Measured before, against a STATE.md with a populated phase-2 block:
    query state.planned-phase 3        (positional, no --phase)
    -> exit 0; "Phase: 2 of 5 (Widget Support)" overwritten to
       "Phase: null - READY TO EXECUTE", frontmatter gains a corrupted
       current_phase_name
  After: exit 1, `unexpected positional argument "3"`, STATE.md byte-identical.
  The flag form is unchanged and still updates STATE.md.

--pick <field> (gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs)
  extractField returns {found,value}, and the pick block no longer shares one catch
  between "output was not JSON" and "field was absent". An absent field exits 1 with
  pick_field_absent, naming the field and the keys that do exist; non-JSON output exits 1
  with pick_output_not_json instead of dumping the command's entire output. A field that
  is PRESENT with value null, '', 0 or false still prints at exit 0 — that is an answer,
  not a failure, and it is what keeps `--pick count` printing 0 on a fresh project.

  Measured before: `audit-open --pick nonexistent_field` printed the whole human-readable
  audit report at exit 0, and `generate-slug X --raw --pick bogus` printed "hello-world" —
  a different field's value, confidently, at exit 0.

  ADR-3409 Decision 7 explicitly deferred this contract fix to #3473; this is it. The
  sub-issue's "returns 0 when the count is zero OR absent" wording is superseded by the
  ADR rule it implements: zero prints 0, absence exits non-zero. Defaulting absence to 0
  would demote "could not answer" to "the answer is zero" — the hazard
  docs/how-to/resolve-unreachable-guard-findings.md already warns against.

Guard ledger (ADR-3473 Decision 6)
  scripts/lint-unreachable-guard-drift.cjs Detector A is RETIRED. Its premise — that a
  `--pick ... || echo` arm can never fire — is now false, so the shape it forbade is the
  correct idiom and keeping it would forbid the fix. Detector B (glob-consuming cat/ls,
  a nullglob mechanism this change does not touch) is retained in full, as are the shared
  scanner, the escape-marker parser and the baseline. Net: -1 detector, 0 added. The file
  is not deleted.

Call-site audit
  45 prompt-layer --pick invocations, every one a plain X=$(...) assignment — none in an
  if test, && chain, or a pipeline whose status is consumed, and no shell block in
  workflows/commands/agents/references sets -e. Of the 13 (command, field) pairs the
  prompt layer reads, 10 are always present; the 3 sometimes-absent ones each sit behind
  a prior found/existence check. No ADR-3409-class "field the command never produces"
  remains.

     Error: unexpected positional argument "foo\nError: forged second line"

   --json-errors mode was never affected — io.error runs that payload through
   JSON.stringify. Plain-text mode writes 'Error: ' + message verbatim, and the
   three new InvalidArgs reasons plus the two new --pick diagnostics all
   interpolate a token that comes straight from argv.

   Fixed with ONE shared helper, formatDiagnosticToken (src/io.cts), applied at
   every interpolation site — not a copy per site. It is deliberately NOT
   applied inside error() itself: several callers in this tree emit intentional
   multi-line diagnostics, and escaping newlines there would mangle them.

   The available-top-level-keys list needed the same treatment for a reason the
   review did not anticipate: `frontmatter get <file>` reads an ARBITRARY user
   document and echoes that document's own keys into the diagnostic. Verified
   reachable — a frontmatter key containing a newline reaches the key list — so
   formatKeyForDiagnosticList is guarding a live path, not a hypothetical one.
   Ordinary keys still render plain and unquoted; a fix that merely dropped the
   key would also have passed a "one line" assertion, so the test pins the
   escaped key's presence too.

2. Five behavior-table rows were implemented but nothing pinned them:
   B7  a dotted path that dies partway
   B9  bracket syntax on a non-array
   B10 a negative array index, in and out of range
   B14 a JSON root that is not an object
   B17 an @file: payload over 50KB

   B17 is the load-bearing one. output() writes @file:<path> instead of inline
   JSON past 50000 characters, and --pick resolves that BEFORE parsing; with no
   test, a future reordering of those two steps turns every large result into a
   false pick_output_not_json. The fixture seeds 1200 phase directories and
   measures the payload at 62474 characters, asserting the spill actually
   happened rather than assuming it.

* fix(#3884): correct the strict-argv surface against a full verification run

The first full run came back with 90 failures across 12 files, none in the new
tests. They were the argv surface telling me what it actually is. Ten root
causes; each classified before anything was changed.

I over-implemented, and that is reverted.

  ADR-3473 §8.4 says parseNamedArgs rejects "unrecognized and positional
  tokens". It says nothing about a value flag whose value is missing. Making
  that an error was my design decision, not the rule, and it broke a
  deliberately recorded contract: `--prd` with no value resolving to null
  (tests/init.test.cjs emptyPrdValueIsFalsyAndTreatedAsAbsent, row B5;
  tests/section-manifest-init-facts.test.cjs "flag-shaped value"). The
  "requires a value" branch is deleted outright rather than kept behind an
  option — an unused strictness mode is speculative generality. Unknown-flag
  and unexpected-positional rejection, which is what §8.4 actually mandates,
  is unchanged.

--wave needed a third flag kind the original design did not anticipate.

  `--wave N` is documented (commands/gsd/execute-phase.md:4,48) and the
  shipped workflow reconstructs and passes it (execute-phase.md:84), while
  #2932 records token-PRESENCE semantics: the CLI cares only that the flag
  appeared, and the value belongs to the workflow layer. That is neither a
  boolean flag nor a value flag, so `optionalValueFlags` now exists —
  presence-only in `data`, and the validation cursor consumes a following
  non-flag token so it is not reported as a stray positional. Every other
  declared boolean flag was checked against every argument-hint and prose
  usage in commands/, workflows/, agents/ and docs/; `--wave` is the only one
  of this shape.

Five tests were pinning forms that never worked.

  tests/adr857-core-without-capabilities.test.cjs passed
  `init plan-phase --phase 01-stub`, but the documented form is positional
  (docs/CLI-TOOLS.md:776) and the handler reads args[2] — which for that form
  is the literal string "--phase". Measured on the pre-fix build against a
  real .planning/phases/01-stub/ directory:

    init plan-phase 01-stub          -> phase_found=true
    init plan-phase --phase 01-stub  -> phase_found=false

  The test asserted only exit 0 and key presence, so it had been green while
  proving nothing about phase resolution. Corrected to the documented form and
  strengthened to assert phase_found === true. Same class in state.test.cjs
  (`--plan-count`, a flag that does not exist; the real one is `--plans`),
  milestone-archive.test.cjs (`init new-milestone --json`, silently ignored),
  and concurrency-safety.test.cjs (a bare positional field name whose
  OR-assertion passed because a whole-document dump happens to contain the
  substring it looked for).

Six handlers had no argv validation at all — the same #3358 shape this phase
exists to close, found while fixing the rest: init verify-work / phase-op /
review / todos / remove-workspace read args[2] with nothing checking the rest,
and validate health read --repair/--backfill through a bare args.includes()
scan that bypassed the parser entirely. All now go through the seam, so the
flag has one owner.

tests/init-debug.test.cjs rows C4/C5 asserted that an unrecognized flag must
NOT fail. That is the behavior §8.4 removes, and Decision 8 says a caller's
local expectation does not override §8, so they are inverted and renamed —
a test still called "ignores an unrecognized flag" while asserting rejection
would be its own defect. Row C6's point is its PWNED canary; that assertion is
kept verbatim and only its exit-status expectation changed, because the
hostile token is now rejected rather than absorbed.

The blast-radius estimate in 40-design.md is corrected rather than quietly
left wrong. get_impact reported MEDIUM / 8 symbols upstream, and that was
accurate for what the graph can see — parseNamedArgs's callers. It cannot see
that those callers' handlers accept argv shapes wider than the code reading
args[2] suggests, which is where the real surface was.

* fix(#3884): withdraw the validate-health tightening, finish the A2/A3 revert

Second full run: 46 failures, down from 90. Four causes, two of them mine.

Reverted `validate health` entirely — it was scope creep, and it broke a real flag.

  ~30 of the 46 read `unknown flag "--json"; accepted: --repair, --backfill`.
  The previous commit routed `validate health` through the parser on the
  reasoning that a flag should have one owner. That was wrong twice over:
  §8.4 names parseNamedArgs and count queries, and `validate health` was never
  a parseNamedArgs call site — it read its flags, just not through the parser,
  so it had no silent-drop defect to fix. Tightening it omitted `--json`, which
  the health-diagnostic suites use heavily. The handler is now byte-for-behaviour
  back to its pre-branch form. `validate context` stays converted: it genuinely
  was a call site, and its `--json` is now declared rather than read by a second
  `args.includes` scan.

  The five handlers that had NO validation at all — init verify-work / phase-op /
  review / todos / remove-workspace — stay fixed. Those read args[2] with nothing
  checking the rest, which is the #3358 shape this phase owns.

Finished the A2/A3 revert. Three tests still encoded the deleted
"a value flag with a missing value is an error" rule, including one added by the
previous commit for that rule. All three now assert the reverted null contract,
and the ones whose titles said "rejected" are renamed — a test named for a
contract it no longer asserts is its own defect.

`--wave=` and `--wave --weird` are correctly rejected. Neither is documented in
commands/gsd/execute-phase.md, gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase.md or docs/, and
neither is emitted by the shipped prompt layer, so both are unrecognized tokens
that §8.4 mandates rejecting. `doesNotConsumeFollowingFlagAsWaveValue` keeps the
property it exists for — asserted directly now, at the parser, that `--wave` does
not swallow a following flag as its value — and only its exit-status expectation
changed.

A contradiction inside this branch, surfaced by the audit and resolved the safe way.

  Two pre-existing #3573 tests call `state begin-phase '2'` and
  `state planned-phase '2'` with a bare positional, relying on the old permissive
  parser to ignore it. This branch's own #3358 regression test requires that exact
  argv to be REJECTED. The two are mutually exclusive.

  Widening the router to accept a bare positional — mirroring complete-phase —
  would have silently re-opened #3358, and was verified to do exactly that: with
  the widened router, `query state.planned-phase 3` returned exit 0 and wrote
  current_phase_name again. It is reverted. docs/CLI-TOOLS.md:116 and
  docs/COMMANDS.md:2192 document only the `--phase N` form for both verbs, so the
  two #3573 tests move to it. Their assertions were never about the call shape —
  only that total_phases survives the resync — and both still pass.

  complete-phase is untouched: its bare positional IS documented, and it keeps the
  dynamic boundary and the negative-space note that record why.

The audit that produced this is in the PR body: for every handler whose declaration
changed, the flags it reads anywhere in its body, the flags the shipped surface
documents, and the shapes the suite passes, compared. The `--json` miss was a
pattern, not an accident — declaring a handler's flags from its parseNamedArgs call
alone misses whatever it reads elsewhere.

8edace40d5 enhance(#3904): one exit module — generate the scripts-side copy from a single source (#3917)
* test(#3904): failing-first coverage for the drifted scripts-side exit module

The scripts/ copy of the CLI exit seam has no json-error arm, so an unexpected throw prints a raw stack where the documented contract promises {ok:false,reason,message}. Adds the consumer-altitude reproduction plus the negative space it must not swallow, the one-cell assertions for json-error mode, and the standalone-load constraint. RED until the generator lands.

* enhance(#3904): generate the scripts-side exit module from one source

src/cli-exit.cts becomes the single source of truth and scripts/lib/cli-exit.cjs a generated artifact of its compiled output, byte-compared by a --check entry in lint:generated-sync. The two had drifted: only the .cts copy emitted the documented {ok:false,reason,message} envelope on an unexpected throw, so a scripts-side tool printed a raw stack where docs/json-errors.md promises structured output.

The generated file is committed and must load on an unbuilt clone (64+ consumers, incl. check-env.cjs), and gsd-core/bin/lib/cli-exit.cjs is gitignored tsc output that doubles as the build sentinel, so it cannot be required from there. The exit module therefore drops its io.cjs import: the json-error-mode accessors move into it and io.cts re-exports them, leaving its export surface unchanged. The flag lives in a Symbol-keyed cell on globalThis because one source emitted to two locations means two module instances, and a module-level flag would give them two independent values.

* chore(#3904): changeset for the generated scripts-side exit module

* docs(#3904): name which surfaces honor the json-error envelope contract

docs/json-errors.md described the structured envelope as what runMain does without saying which copies of runMain actually had the branch — a claim that was silently false for every scripts/-side tool. Also drops a redundant source-grep test whose marker grew the unverified allow-test-rule pool past its ceiling; the behavioral test beside it proves the same property through real module resolution.

* test(#3904): compare exit verdicts, not stderr bytes, across the two copies

The parity test asserted byte-identical stderr, which the plain-text path cannot satisfy: the generated copy carries an 11-line banner, so its stack frames report line numbers offset by exactly that much, and the path normalizer stopped at the colon. Byte-identical stack traces were never the contract - two files at two paths necessarily differ there. Now compares the parsed envelope under json mode, the first line and exit code on the stack path, and exact output for ExitError.

a638ca4332 enhance(#3882): stop sentinel phases skewing estimation calibration (#3893)
* test(#3882): failing-first rows for sentinel phases skewing calibration

Adds A1a/A1b/A2/A3 to tests/estimate-calibrate.test.cjs, the module's
existing test file, rather than a new bug-NNNN file. collectCalibrationSamples
(src/estimate-cli.cts:206) does a raw readdirSync over .planning/phases and
never applies isSentinelPhaseId, so a sentinel phase (milestone 0 or 999)
carrying a PLAN estimate / SUMMARY actuals pair contributes a phantom
calibration sample.

computeCalibration is median-based, so a single 50x outlier among three
samples leaves the factor unmoved — asserting "the factor is unchanged"
against one sentinel would pass on the broken code for the wrong reason.
Each row instead asserts the WHOLE computed CalibrationResult object
(factor, applied, confidence, sampleCount, clamped) for a sentinel-free
project against its sentinel-injected twin:

- A1a: one sentinel flips applied false->true and confidence low->med on
  phantom evidence (calibration switches on with zero real signal).
- A1b: two sentinels corrupt the factor itself (1 -> 3, clamped false->true).
- A2: the sentinel's own sample is verified absent from the returned list.
- A3: the two genuine phases still contribute their own unchanged samples
  (regression pin — stops A1/A2 passing by filtering everything).

Verified RED on today's code (node tests/estimate-calibrate.test.cjs):
A1a/A1b/A2 fail with the exact differing objects; A3 and all pre-existing
rows in the file remain green (no collateral).

Refs #3882

* feat(#3882): route phase enumeration through its owner and name the sentinel axis

Task 1: collectCalibrationSamples (src/estimate-cli.cts) hand-rolled a raw readdirSync over .planning/phases, treating every directory (including sentinel phases, milestone 0/999) as a completed phase and feeding phantom PLAN/SUMMARY samples into the estimation calibration factor. Routed through the existing owner, listMilestonePhaseDirs(phasesRoot) with no cwd -- already 'all milestones, sentinels excluded', exactly the combination this caller needs; no new API was required for this half. It now also surfaces the scope discriminator: an unreadable phases directory throws PhasesUnreadableError instead of silently returning zero samples, and cmdEstimateCalibrate reports it via a new ERROR_REASON.ESTIMATE_PHASES_UNREADABLE instead of persisting a phantom empty calibration document.

Task 2: added listAllPhaseDirs(phasesDir, { includeSentinels }) to src/phase-locator.cts -- the one genuinely missing axis: 'physical set, sentinels INCLUDED'. includeSentinels has no default and is required, so a call site cannot obtain sentinel-inclusion by omission (compile-time refusal, not just documentation). Mirrors listMilestonePhaseDirs's absent/unreadable scope handling.

Task 3: migrated the two exemptions whose written reason maps cleanly onto 'physical set, sentinels included' -- cmdRoadmapAnalyze's _phaseDirNames (src/roadmap.cts) and cmdInitMilestoneOp's diskPhaseDirs (src/init.cts), both heading->directory lookup indexes. Left the rest: archivePhaseDirectories's own body has no readdirSync to migrate (its callers already resolve dirs before calling it, and both current callers deliberately EXCLUDE sentinels -- migrating it would be an unauthorized behavior change, not an API swap); cmdValidateHealth's exemption is vestigial (its actual physical-set sweep already lives in planning-snapshot.cts's buildAllPhaseDirNamesField, a pre-existing near-duplicate of the new axis, flagged as a finding, not restructured); cmdPhasesClear/cmdMilestoneComplete/cmdVerifySchemaDrift/detectHasPriorPhases/detectUiPhaseActive want a different combination (sentinels excluded, or a single-phase lookup) and are unaffected.

Task 4: detector 2 (sentinel literal) is untouched and retained. Removed exemption entries only for the two migrated call sites; every other function-scoped exemption is preserved. Guard exits 0.

* refactor(#3882): delegate the snapshot phase-dir scan to its owner

by this branch's own #3882 work. Delegate to listAllPhaseDirs and
re-apply the field's existing lexicographic sort on top, since W007's
observable order must not change.

that the owner already answers the all-milestones sentinel-free question when

Also notes that buildAllPhaseDirNamesField now delegates rather than carrying a
second readdir, and that exactly one readdirSync over the phases directory
remains across the two modules.

9de4d67118 fix(#3579): a pointer-less session inherits the repo active-workstream marker (#3616)
* test(3579): failing-first coverage for repo-marker inheritance

A session that carries an identity but has never run 'workstream use' reads an
absent session pointer, resolves null, and composes the flat .planning tree even
when .planning/active-workstream names a live workstream. These tests fail on that
and pin the invariants the fix must not break: a session with its own pointer is
never repointed, and a session that merely lacked a pointer must never clear the
shared marker on another session's behalf.

* fix(3579): a pointer-less session inherits the repo active-workstream marker

RED proven at 157cae26: the three inheritance tests failed while every isolation and
negative control passed on base — the gap, and nothing else.

pickActiveWorkstreamAdapter returned exactly ONE adapter: the session-scoped one
whenever a session key existed, so the shared .planning/active-workstream marker was
never consulted. getWorkstreamSessionKey resolves a key from ~13 env vars or the
controlling TTY, so on any normal interactive terminal a key almost always exists —
which is why a session that had never run 'workstream use' read an absent pointer,
resolved null, and composed the FLAT planning tree even though the repo marker named a
live workstream. Reads misreported; writes corrupted the superseded flat STATE. Silent,
because the stale tree is well-formed.

This was a genuine design fork, not an oversight: references/workstream-flag.md
documented step 4 as a fallback 'when no session key exists', and the session isolation
that buys is deliberate (#2850). The issue's Agent Brief left the choice open and said
the reference doc should match whatever semantics ship. The maintainer ruled in chat for
inheritance.

Resolution now walks an ORDERED chain — session adapter first, shared second — and only
a null from the session adapter falls through to the marker. Strictly additive: it can
only turn a null into a name, never change a name that already resolves.

The dangerous part is clear() ownership. resolveFromChain treats chain[0] as owned: only
it is ever cleared, and only under selfHeal (getActiveWorkstream, never peek). An
INHERITED marker is read-only — a stale value there resolves null and the file is left
alone. Without that, one pointer-less session's read would delete the repo marker for
every other session, which is a worse bug than the one being fixed. Covered by a test
that asserts the marker still exists on disk after such a read.

peekActiveWorkstream inherits but still mutates nothing (#2850 — the statusline draws on
every render).

references/workstream-flag.md's Resolution Priority is rewritten to match, keeping the
session-isolation rationale and noting that inheritance does not weaken it: a session
that owns a pointer is never repointed.

Fixes #3579

* fix(3579): correct the guard diagnostics and lock the clear-semantics

Three review passes; every finding fixed inline.

MISSING ACCEPTANCE CRITERION (spec pass). The brief requires refusal diagnostics that
distinguish 'marker present but the session lookup missed it' from 'no workstream set at
all', and the two workstream-mode fail-safe guards were byte-for-byte untouched — still
emitting a generic 'no active workstream is set' even when a marker exists and merely
names a missing directory. Both guards (cmdPhaseComplete, cmdInitProgress) now branch on
a new read-only diagnoseUnresolvedActiveWorkstream, which reuses the SAME
resolvesToExistingWorkstream predicate resolveFromChain uses, so the diagnosis and the
resolution cannot disagree. Two typed reasons added to ERROR_REASON; both arms still
refuse — the fail-closed behavior is unchanged, only the message is now true.

REAL TEST FAILURE, not a flake. The remote run failed 'clearing one session does not
clear another session pointer'. That describe uses before() rather than beforeEach, so
one tmpDir is shared and an earlier test writes active-workstream=beta into it; under
inheritance the just-cleared session picks that marker up and resolves beta instead of
null. The failure is a CORRECT consequence of Option A surfaced through an
order-dependent fixture. The test now establishes its own marker state explicitly — its
real intent (clearing A must not disturb B's pointer) is preserved and not weakened — and
a new test pins the semantic deliberately: clearing a session pointer returns that
session to INHERITING the marker, it does not force flat mode. Documented in
references/workstream-flag.md, including how to actually get flat behavior.

Also from review: partial activeWorkstreamAdapters injection no longer silently
synthesizes a REAL filesystem adapter for the missing half (a latent test-isolation
trap); the duplicated validate-then-existsSync logic is factored into one predicate; and
the two try/finally test bodies are converted to t.after per CONTRIBUTING.

New coverage: whitespace/empty shared marker; a session whose OWN pointer is stale while
the marker names a different valid workstream (must self-heal to null, never inherit —
the isolation guarantee at its sharpest); and both new diagnostic arms asserted on
structured --json-errors output rather than prose.

* fix(3579): read resolvability with the non-mutating peek, not the self-healing resolver

Three of our own new tests failed on 7f5e706a. All three had ONE root cause, and none
was fixed by relaxing an assertion.

gsd-tools.cjs's bootstrap called the MUTATING getActiveWorkstream unconditionally on
every invocation, purely to populate routing env. On an unresolvable pointer that
self-healed — cleared it — BEFORE the dispatched command ran its own resolution. A second
read in the same process then observed already-cleared state:

- Isolation violation: a session whose own pointer was stale had it cleared by the
  bootstrap, so cmdWorkstreamGet's own resolution found a pointer-LESS session and
  inherited the shared marker ('beta' instead of null). Exactly the guarantee #2850 exists
  to protect, defeated across two calls rather than within one.
- Guard diagnostics: the guards' own truthiness check also used the mutating resolver, so
  it cleared the invalid marker and the immediately-following read-only diagnosis found
  nothing and reported none_active instead of marker_unresolved.

So a single invocation's answer depended on how many times it resolved. The bootstrap
self-heal is PRE-EXISTING and was harmless while pointer-less meant flat — inheritance is
what made it answer-changing, so this fix belongs here.

Every call site that only CHECKS resolvability — the bootstrap, both fail-safe guards'
truthiness check, and two informational init report fields — now uses the non-mutating
peekActiveWorkstream. Self-heal is unchanged in active-workstream-store and still fires
exactly once, at whichever site actually consumes the workstream.

Verified by driving the real CLI against temp fixtures, since the suite cannot run
locally: stale-own-pointer resolves null with the marker intact; both guard arms report
marker_unresolved with missing_workstream_dir / invalid_name and the marker survives;
no-marker still reports none_active; identity-less self-heal still deletes an invalid
marker byte-identically to pre-#3579; and a session with a valid own pointer still wins.

* test(3579): kill the surviving mutants in the new resolution code

CI's Stryker gate failed: active-workstream-store scored 79.45% against a break
threshold of 80 — 259 killed, 67 survived, at 'Ran 1.00 tests per mutant on average'.
The survivors cluster in the code this PR added (pickActiveWorkstreamAdapterChain,
resolvesToExistingWorkstream, resolveFromChain, diagnoseUnresolvedActiveWorkstream):
the CLI-level tests exercise those paths but do not DISCRIMINATE their branches, which
is precisely what a surviving mutant means.

Raised by strengthening assertions, never by touching the threshold. 21 unit tests added
to the existing unit suite, each written to fail under a specific named mutant, using the
module's injected adapter seams and createMemoryPointerAdapter so they stay hermetic
under Stryker's per-mutant reruns:

- chain shape with and without a session key, asserting length AND element identity
  (kills the if(false), the ': []' array mutant, and the block removal)
- partial adapter injection, asserting the missing half is an inert memory adapter that
  never touches the filesystem (kills the three '??' -> '&&' mutants)
- both arms of '!name || !validateWorkstreamName(name)' as SEPARATE tests — an absent
  name and a non-empty invalid one — which is what kills the '||' -> '&&' mutant
- self-heal discrimination: getActiveWorkstream must clear an unresolvable owned pointer
  and peekActiveWorkstream must not, asserted on adapter state after each
  (kills if(selfHeal) -> if(true))
- fallback arm both ways: a fallback that resolves and one that does not
- diagnoseUnresolvedActiveWorkstream asserted as a full object per case, with the reason
  strings compared exactly (kills present:true -> false and both StringLiteral mutants)

One mutant is deliberately left: 'if (chain.length === 0)' -> 'if (false)'. The branch is
structurally unreachable — the only chain source always returns a 1- or 2-element array
literal — and resolveFromChain is not exported. Killing it would mean exporting an
internal or deleting a defensive guard; neither is worth doing for a mutant, and the
score clears 80 without it. Recorded here rather than left unexplained.

Every new assertion was evaluated against the built module with real fixtures before
committing, since the suite cannot run locally.

fe64704ace enhance(#3588): add an opt-in commit_docs pre-commit hook (#3609)
* feat(#3588): add an opt-in commit_docs pre-commit hook

Final phase of epic #2292, scope narrowed to opt-in by maintainer decision:
default-on installation and the bin/install.js wiring it would have required
are explicitly out of scope.

Enabling is an explicit verb call. The hook is written to the repo's real hooks
dir resolved via git rev-parse --git-path hooks, so a linked worktree or
submodule whose .git is a FILE works rather than getting a literal .git/hooks
path. It refuses rather than overwrite a foreign pre-commit, refuses to delete
one it did not write, and refuses outright when core.hooksPath is already set --
a written-but-ignored hook is worse than a refusal. Ownership is detected by
marker presence, not byte-equality, so a user who appends a line does not make
it unrecognizable.

Deliberately NOT included: teaching cmdCheckCommit the per-phase commit_docs
tier. #3587 was still unmerged when this landed, and implementing precedence
against helpers that did not yet exist would have meant a second copy of the
resolution chain -- the divergence class this epic has spent three phases
fighting. That follows as its own change now that #3587 is on next.

The ordering constraint is recorded in the design doc: this must not merge
before #3587, or the hook would block a commit cmdCommit itself allows.

* fix(#3588): teach the commit_docs guard the per-phase tier and -z paths

Part 1, deferred until #3587 merged.

cmdCheckCommit read only project-level commit_docs, so once #3587 landed, a
phase with phase_commit_docs true under project false was ALLOWED by
query commit and BLOCKED by this guard -- and the hook shipped in this same
branch shells out to it. It now derives the staged phase via the single-owner
detectPhaseNumberFromFiles and resolves through #3587's own
resolveCommitDocsPolicy rather than a second precedence copy.

Also fixes a proven false negative in the harm direction. git diff --cached
--name-only C-style-quotes any path with non-ASCII or special characters, so a
staged .planning/cafe.md was emitted as a quoted string, failed
startsWith('.planning/'), and slipped past the guard entirely under
commit_docs:false. Reading with -z and splitting on NUL removes the quoting at
the source. The f.startsWith('.planning\\') branch was dead code under that
read -- git emits /-separated paths on every platform -- and is removed rather
than left implying coverage it never provided.

The earlier C7 test pinned the buggy behavior as intended; it now asserts the
file is detected and the commit refused.

Self-caught: the commit-docs-guard verb was wired into the routers by this
branch's earlier pass but missing from the top-level help listing.

* test(#3588): replace try/finally with t.after, add negative-routing cases

Standards review findings.

CONTRIBUTING bans try/finally inside a test body outright -- it masks failures
-- and B8 used one for worktree cleanup. Now t.after(), assertions unchanged.

The new commit-docs-guard command family had zero negative-routing coverage,
which CONTRIBUTING requires for any change to command dispatch. B11-B15 cover
no subcommand, unknown, empty string, whitespace-only and a flag-shaped value,
each asserting non-zero exit, a structured error, no stack trace, and -- the
one that matters for a command that writes into a user's repo -- that NO hook
is written in any of them.

Those tests were verified to fail when routeCommitDocsGuard's else-branch is
neutered, so they exercise the routing guard rather than any convenient error
path.

Also made two error() calls' control flow explicit with a return; they were
safe only because error() is typed never two files away.

* chore(#3588): backfill changeset pr number to 3609

* test(#3588): skip Windows-unrepresentable fixtures on win32

CI's Windows shards caught two of my own tests: fixtures whose filenames
contain a quote and a backslash. Both are illegal on Windows -- backslash is
the path separator, quote is invalid on NTFS -- so fixture creation failed
before any assertion ran.

Test-portability defect, not a production one. Those inputs cannot exist on
that platform, so the guard has nothing to detect there.

Both now check process.platform FIRST, before any fs or git call, and use
t.skip() rather than a bare return -- a bare return registers as a PASS and
would hide the gap it is meant to record. Each carries a comment saying the
input is unrepresentable rather than unverified, so nobody later re-enables it.

No padding added: the cafe.md case already exercises git's C-quoting path on
every platform, since non-ASCII names are legal on NTFS.

This is exactly the coverage the Linux-only remote matrix cannot provide, which
the PR body already stated -- CI's Windows shards are what caught it.

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.

f4d6747d21 fix(#2738): report graphify query budget outcome and stop between-tier over-trimming (#2819)
* fix(#2738): report budget outcome from graphify query and stop over-trimming between tiers

applyBudget retains seed nodes unconditionally, so the seed set is a floor
the edge-tier reduction cannot go below — a --budget 500 request could
return the full seed payload (~119k tokens measured) with no signal of the
miss. Add budget_met + budget_estimate to the budget result and surface
them through graphifyQuery when a budget was requested.

Secondary: the tier loop estimated against the full pre-filter node set,
so a tier removal that already satisfied the budget (once its orphaned
nodes were excluded) still triggered the next, higher-confidence tier
drop. Recompute reachability and the estimate after each tier and break
as soon as the pruned result fits.

Adjacent same-class instance from pre-submit review: the CLI forwards
--budget 0 but truthiness checks silently treated it as no budget and
returned the unbounded result. Test budget presence with != null so a
zero budget is honored and reported as an unmeetable miss.

* docs(changeset): backfill PR number for #2738 fragment

* fix(#2738): estimate the payload as emitted, not a private compact form

budget_met measured a different payload than the caller receives. The
estimator serialized a compact `{nodes, edges}`, while output() emits the
whole response pretty-printed (2-space indent, plus the term/total_*/trimmed
wrapper keys). Measured on the repo's own SAMPLE_GRAPH fixture: reported 183
tokens against 302 actually emitted — 1.65x — so `--budget 200` returned
budget_met: true while handing back 302 tokens. That is worse than the old
silent miss: an automated consumer stops checking a signal that is
confidently wrong.

Fix the basis rather than the number:

- io.cts gains serializeForOutput(), the single definition of the wire form.
  output() now calls it, so the estimator and the emitter cannot drift on
  indentation or shape. Pure extraction; output()'s behaviour is unchanged.
- graphify builds its response through one buildQueryResponse() used by both
  the emitter and the estimator, so the estimate describes exactly the bytes
  returned.
- The tier loop estimates on that same basis, so it keeps trimming until the
  real payload fits instead of stopping at a smaller internal measure. This
  makes budget_met === (budget_estimate <= budget) true by construction.
- Drop the module-private chars/4 helper for prompt-budget's estimateTokens —
  the repo's single token scale, per the rule phase-estimation.cts documents.

budget_estimate is self-referential (its own digits are part of the emitted
bytes), resolved by iterating to a fixed point; the sequence only ever grows,
so it settles in a couple of passes and errs toward over-reporting.

Tests pin estimator to emitter so this cannot silently re-diverge if output()
ever changes its indentation. Both new tests fail against the pre-fix source.

* test(#2738): property-test the budget-limit and reporting contract

RULESET.TESTS.property-based-testing names budget-limit contracts, and this
module is the literal case: #2819 turns it into a *reporting* contract, which
is what properties express well. Five invariants over arbitrary small graphs
and any budget >= 0:

- budget_met === (budget_estimate <= budget)
- budget_estimate === the tokens actually emitted
- the seed set is a floor the reduction never goes below (the changeset's
  "seeds are a floor" claim, previously asserted only for one hand-built
  fixture)
- total_nodes/total_edges match the returned arrays
- a larger budget never yields a smaller payload

Two notes on what these do and do not prove. The emitted-payload property
fails against the pre-fix source; the budget_met/budget_estimate agreement
property does NOT — pre-fix both derived from the same wrong number, so it
is a contract guard, not a regression proof.

Monotonicity is asserted over the payload (node/edge counts), not over
budget_estimate: the estimate measures emitted bytes exactly, and budget_met
renders as "false" (5 chars) or "true" (4), so an identical payload can
measure one token larger when the budget is missed. That is the estimate
being honest, not a monotonicity break.

The generator seeds on `label` — seedAndExpand matches label/description,
never id/name, and a fixture that gets this wrong expands to nothing and
passes vacuously.

* test(#2738): pin the budget boundary and label the forward-guard test

Two test-coverage gaps from review.

RULESET.TESTS.boundary-coverage wants limit-1 / limit / limit+1. The added
tests used 1, 0, 200, 100000, 50 — all far from the decision point. The
branch that matters is `estimate <= budgetTokens`, so the input that decides
it is budget === estimate exactly: that is the one value where an off-by-one
in the comparison flips budget_met, and nothing else in the suite would
catch it. Pinned at the limit and either side of it.

The "omits budget fields when no budget was requested" test passes unchanged
on next — graphifyQuery never set those keys before the fix, so both
assertions already held. It has value as a forward guard against the spread
leaking budget fields, but it is not failing-first and should not be counted
toward RULESET.TESTS.regression-must-fail-first. Said so in a comment, so a
later reader does not mistake it for the regression proof.

* fix(#2738): keep a non-finite budget out of the budget path

Switching `!budgetTokens` to `budgetTokens == null` widened the internal
contract to admit NaN, where every `estimate <= NaN` is false: the loop
strips all three tiers and returns a seeds-only payload that is
indistinguishable from a legitimate aggressive trim.

Unreachable through the CLI — graphify-command-router rejects a non-numeric
--budget with makeInvalidArgs before graphifyQuery is called — so this is
hardening, not a live defect. It is still worth guarding: graphifyQuery and
applyBudget are module-level entry points a future caller could reach
without the router's validation, and the failure mode is silent.

Number.isFinite also routes Infinity to the no-budget path, deliberately: an
unbounded budget is not a budget, and parseInt cannot produce one anyway.

388837219d fix(#2648): phase.complete refuses when non-retired plans lack summaries (fail-closed coverage gate) (#2953)
* test(#2648): failing-first — phase complete must refuse when plans lack summaries

Adds findUnsummarizedPlans to core-utils (mirrors countMatchedSummaries but
returns the unmatched plan files) and a PHASE_PLAN_COVERAGE_INCOMPLETE error
reason, plus a 3-case regression block in phase.test.cjs. The gate itself is
NOT yet wired into cmdPhaseComplete (reverted for the RED run), so the
'blocks completion' and 'superseded does not block' cases must FAIL (the
pre-fix code completes silently).

* fix(#2648): phase.complete refuses when non-retired plans lack summaries

cmdPhaseComplete gated only on a single *-VERIFICATION.md status, so a phase
could close complete while an arbitrary number of its plans had no completion
record (confirmed incident: 6/30 plans unexecuted incl. the phase's entire
final UI scope, every signal green). Add a fail-closed plan-coverage gate that
refuses completion when any plan lacks a matching *-SUMMARY.md, naming the
missing plans, UNLESS the plan is retired via machine-readable status:
superseded frontmatter (#2349) — closing the Goodhart hole (delete a SUMMARY to
raise the %) without regressing the lock/recovery pattern.

Uses scanPhasePlans (superseded-AWARE) + new findUnsummarizedPlans helper so the
gate, the count, and the named list can never disagree. Evaluated before the
verification-gate transaction so a refusal fails fast without mutating
ROADMAP/STATE. milestone.complete's parallel gap is explicitly out of scope
(separate seam, separate PR).

* fix(#2648): test fixtures — give #1752 phase plans summaries + STATE.md in coverage fixture

The plan-coverage gate (#2648) correctly blocks phase completion when a plan
lacks a SUMMARY. Two test fixtures needed updating to reflect the new contract:
- #1752 (total_phases-decrement cascade): its 8 phase dirs each had a PLAN.md
  with no SUMMARY. The test's concern is the total_phases cascade, not plan
  coverage, so add a matching SUMMARY to each to keep the phase fully-covered
  and isolate the #1752 behavior.
- the #2648 coverage-gate fixture: write STATE.md (createTempProject scaffolds
  .planning/phases but not STATE.md) so the 'ROADMAP/STATE unchanged on refusal'
  assertions have a file to read.

* fix(#2648): security — fail closed on unreadable plan dir + sanitize msg + surface superseded

Address the security-review blocker (B1) and hardening (M1/m2):
- B1 (blocker): the gate failed OPEN when scanPhasePlans could not read the
  phase dir (it swallows readdirSync errors → empty plan set → gate sees zero
  unsummarized plans → passes). A coverage gate that passes when it cannot read
  the plans re-opens the #2648 hole under any I/O failure. Now readdirSync the
  dir explicitly and fail closed (PHASE_PLAN_COVERAGE_INCOMPLETE) on a throw;
  a readable empty dir still passes (legitimately complete empty phase).
- m2: sanitize plan filenames (strip C0 controls / DEL) before interpolating
  into the error message — they come raw from readdirSync and could spoof the
  terminal in plain-error mode.
- M1: surface the count of plans excluded as status: superseded so a reviewer
  can audit which work was declared retired (the marker is a committable,
  review-time-trusted bypass; keep it visible).
- Add a 4th regression case: unreadable plan dir (ENOTDIR via a file, not chmod
  0o000 which root bypasses) must fail closed.

* test(#2648): drop unreachable B1 case — no root-safe unreadable-dir repro

The B1 fail-closed-on-unreadable-dir defense stays in src/phase.cts (cheap +
correct), but it cannot be unit-tested cross-platform: any condition that makes
the phase dir unreadable to the gate's readdirSync ALSO fails findPhaseInternal
upstream ('Phase N not found') before the gate runs, and chmod 0o000 is
forbidden (root bypasses it in root CI). Document the gap in the test file;
remove the case that asserted a reason the upstream error pre-empts.

* style(#2648): drop unnecessary type assertions flagged by lint:ci

scanPhasePlans returns typed string[] arrays, so the `as string[]` casts on
coverageScan.planFiles/summaryFiles were redundant (@typescript-eslint/
no-unnecessary-type-assertion). Compute supersededCount from typed lengths;
only the phaseInfo['plans'] cast remains (it is genuinely unknown).

- 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.

* fix(transition): restore awk frontmatter extraction for pre-shim verification check

The gsd_run launcher shim is not defined until line ~163 of transition.md,
so the verification debt check at line ~80 cannot use gsd_run. Restore the
awk-based frontmatter extraction that correctly reads status without needing
the runtime, and restore the shim at its proper location before
phase.complete.

* fix(#1522): guard findStaleVerificationSummary FS calls + thread opts.fs seam (review)

Address review blocker B1 on #1548: findStaleVerificationSummary ran fs.readdirSync
and two fs.statSync calls unguarded between readVerificationStatus's try/catch sections,
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).

8c3d934a90 refactor(#1294): T-final — delete the core.cjs re-export spine (epic #1267 complete) (#1295)
* refactor(#1294): T-final — delete the core.cjs re-export spine (epic #1267 complete)

After T0–T6 nothing imports core, so retire the spine and its scaffolding:
- delete src/core.cts (and the gitignored gsd-core/bin/lib/core.cjs artifact;
  remove its .gitignore + eslint-ignore entries)
- delete scripts/lint-core-spine-imports.cjs + its allowlist; drop it from the
  package.json lint:ci chain
- regenerate docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json (drops the core.cjs surface)
- sweep stale references: CONTEXT.md glossary back-compat clauses (spine retired,
  callers import the leaf directly), planning-config.md CONFIG_DEFAULTS owner,
  and false present-tense core.cjs claims in leaf-module docstrings

The ADR-857 decomposition is complete: the former Core god-module is fully
dissolved into its leaf modules; no re-export spine remains. No behaviour change.

Closes #1294

* fix(#1294): migrate the computed-path core.cjs importers the literal grep missed

bin/install.js used require(path.join(_gsdLibDir, 'core.cjs')) (a computed
path, and bin/install.js was never in the convergence lint's scan roots), and
~8 test files referenced core.cjs via path.join/readFileSync/existsSync/FILE_ARG
forms the literal-string migration grep missed. Route install.js's symbols to
their leaves (RUNTIME_PROFILE_MAP->model-catalog, resolveTierEntry/EFFORT_SET->
model-resolver) and repoint/adjust the test references to the leaves. Recovers
the 161 'Cannot find module core.cjs' failures from the spine deletion.

28ac89d810 fix(#1008): tolerate EAGAIN + short writes in io output()/error() (#1009)
* fix(#1008): tolerate EAGAIN + short writes in io output()/error()

The I/O Module wrote stdout/stderr with a bare fs.writeSync(fd, data), assuming
it blocks until the kernel accepts every byte. That is false when the fd is a
non-blocking pipe (as under the parallel node:test runner on Linux CI): a full
pipe throws EAGAIN and a partially-drained pipe returns a short count. The former
caused spurious failures (e.g. bug-974 graphify property test threw EAGAIN); the
latter risked silently truncating output.

Add writeAllSync(fd, data): loop on short counts and retry EAGAIN/EINTR with a
bounded backoff. The backoff sleep buffer is allocated lazily on the first retry
(rare) and reused — keeping it out of module load avoids perturbing the
SharedArrayBuffer-allocation accounting in perf-316 and costs nothing on the
common no-retry path. Route output() and error() through it; non-transient
errors (EPIPE) still propagate. Mirrors the transient-errno handling already
applied to STATE.md lock acquisition (ACQUIRE_LOCK_RETRY_ERRNOS / #3776).

Regression cases live in tests/io.test.cjs (the owning module's file, per the
regression-test-name placement policy) and inject fs.writeSync via mock.method:
EAGAIN/EINTR retry, short-write no-truncation, EPIPE still surfaces, and error()
retries while still exit(1). Red against the pre-fix bare-writeSync io.cjs.

a5d82bf98a refactor(#859): extract CLI I/O primitives from core.cts into io.cts (#864)
ADR-857 rollout phase 1. Move the CLI I/O primitives — output(), error(),
ERROR_REASON, setJsonErrorMode/getJsonErrorMode, and the output() large-payload
temp-file spillover helpers (GSD_TEMP_DIR, ensureGsdTempDir, reapStaleTempFiles)
— out of the 2271-line core.cts god-module into a new, small src/io.cts. core.cts
re-exports them so existing consumers are unaffected (behavior-preserving).

Repoint src/profile-pipeline.cts to import output/error/reapStaleTempFiles from
io directly; graphify/intel/audit were verified not to import these symbols. Net:
the leaf feature modules no longer depend on core just for I/O — the enabling
first cut toward Capability extraction.

New-CLI-module checklist: .gitignore (bin/lib/io.cjs), eslint.config.mjs ignores,
INVENTORY.md count 90→91 + io.cjs row, INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json, ARCHITECTURE.md
core.cjs/io.cjs rows, CONTEXT.md "I/O Module" glossary entry. Adds tests/io.test.cjs
(28 behavioral tests incl. shim-identity and the @file: spillover branch).

Gates: lint, code-review, security-review, codex adversarial-review, and
gsd-test-both (14742 pass on Mac + Linux Docker, 0 fail) all green.

Closes #859
