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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #3771

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

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

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

Refs #3771

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #3771

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #3771

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

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

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

Third adversarial round (Antigravity) found three defects:

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

Refs #3771

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #3771

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

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

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

Two CI failures, both correct gates:

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

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

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

Refs #3771

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #3771

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #3771

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #3771

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

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

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

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

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

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

The other four:

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

Refs #3771

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #3771

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

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

CR-4 replaced the truncatable section scan with:

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #3771

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #3771

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

c9bff8d2b9 fix(#3899): resolve REVIEWS.md by quoted assignment, not an unquoted ls (#3928)
* fix(#3899): resolve REVIEWS.md by quoted assignment, not an unquoted ls

The convergence loop resolved the phase REVIEWS.md through
`$(ls ${phase_dir}/... 2>/dev/null)`. The unquoted ${phase_dir} word-splits,
so a project path containing a space handed `ls` arguments that do not exist,
the discarded stderr hid the error, and the empty result was reported as
"review agent did not produce REVIEWS.md" — blaming the agent for a quoting
defect. A glob metacharacter fails worse: the pattern expands to whatever
sibling directory matches, so the loop silently reads a different phase's
REVIEWS.md and `ls` still exits 0.

Assign the path directly, quoted, and fail closed with an error that names the
expected location. The regression block extracts the bash fence from the
shipped workflow and RUNS it against space-, glob- and missing-file fixtures,
because every text assertion in that suite passed against the broken line.

* chore(#3899): add the changelog fragment

* fix(#3899): reject a non-file reviews path and anchor the gate harness

Adversarial review (codex, gemini) on the first cut, three findings taken:

- `[ -r ]` alone is true for a readable DIRECTORY, so a directory standing
  where the reviews file belongs passed the gate and reached the consumers
  that read it. Require a regular file as well.
- the harness picked its fence by scanning the WHOLE document for a bash
  block assigning REVIEWS_FILE. If the real fence ever stopped assigning it
  and an unrelated one started, the harness would execute the wrong block and
  report green. Anchor the span to the verification step, between its opening
  sentence and the next heading.
- the no-subshell assertion matched only `$(`; a backtick rewrite would
  reintroduce identical word-splitting unseen. The discarded-stderr assertion
  is scoped to lines naming REVIEWS_FILE rather than banning the redirect
  across the whole fence.

Four findings declined: `return 1 || exit 1` (the document's own idiom is a
bare `exit 1`, including the guard immediately below), `${phase_dir:-}` for
`set -u` (unchanged exposure from the old line, and an unset phase_dir is a
bug worth surfacing), an explicit empty-phase_dir branch (the guard already
fails closed and prints the truncated path), and a downstream
`[ -n "$REVIEWS_FILE" ]` hazard (no such consumer exists — the guard exits
before any of them run).

* chore(#3899): backfill the changeset PR number

* fix(#3899): address required review feedback

Use the fragment-aware workflow reader, remove the inert exemption marker, document the unreadable-arm coverage limit, align errors with the workflow convention, and name an empty phase_dir directly. Migrate the obsolete emitted-drift fragment to the current commit-trailer contract.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: plan-review-convergence.md — #3899: replace unquoted $(ls ... 2>/dev/null) resolution with a quoted direct path, fail-closed file/readability checks, and an explicit phase_dir diagnostic; surrounding prose records why quoting is load-bearing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #3841

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Closes #3146

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #3028

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

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

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

Refs #3028

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

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

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

Refs #3028

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

Review found three things.

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

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

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

738f42f4fd feat(#2398): consensus gate for CYCLE_SUMMARY on multi-reviewer runs (#3755)
* test(#2398): failing-first suite for the CYCLE_SUMMARY consensus gate

Binds the gate before it exists, so the suite is RED against next.

The load-bearing rows are the two the closed PR #2417 did not have. The B2
regression row asserts a judgment-class lone HIGH counts WITHOUT corroboration
when its raiser is unmarked — if anyone re-couples that class to corroboration,
more reviewers again produce a weaker gate than one, which is what closed #2417.
The parity row asserts every marker literal the gate names is one
review-lane-runner actually emits, so the gate cannot key on a signal nothing
produces; a mutation row and a seeded fast-check property prove that guard runs
its failure branch rather than only reading a correct tree.

Also pinned: gate position before Counting rules, the untouched CYCLE_SUMMARY
line shape the orchestrator greps, fence balance, the single-reviewer no-op,
classification by what a claim asserts rather than by citation presence, the
all-marked fail-open, current_actionable staying out of scope, and the
leading-marker requirement that stops a review which merely quotes a marker
from suppressing its own findings.

* feat(#2398): consensus gate for CYCLE_SUMMARY on multi-reviewer runs

With review.reviewer_instances running several reviewer identities off one
adapter, any single instance's fabricated HIGH could force a full replan cycle
on its own. Across ~9 real cycles on two projects each of four instances
fabricated at least once, and each was also the most accurate reviewer in some
other cycle, so dropping to fewer reviewers trades away real signal.

The gate engages only when 2+ reviewers actually ran, and weighs a lone HIGH by
what the claim asserts rather than by whether anyone agreed with it. An
existence claim -- a symbol, file, flag, commit or ID exists, is absent, or says
something specific -- counts only if source-grounding confirms it or another
reviewer raised the same concern. A judgment claim -- a design or correctness
property -- counts unless that reviewer's own section opens with an
evidence-quality discount marker the review lane already stamps
([reviewed-without-source-citations] #3194, [reviewed-without-repo-access]
#2176, or a diff-only lane).

That split is what resolves B2, the finding that closed PR #2417. B2 showed the
approved wording made more reviewers produce a WEAKER gate than one: condition
(a) pointed at the source-grounding pass, which verifies every symbol THE PLAN
cites and never takes reviewer claims as input, so a genuine architectural HIGH
that one reviewer caught and another missed was neither groundable nor
corroborated and stopped gating. Judgment-class findings are therefore exempt
from corroboration entirely -- reviewers catch materially different classes of
issue, and demanding two of them independently raise the same architectural
concern suppresses exactly what a multi-reviewer setup exists to surface.

Guards on the gate itself: an all-marked cycle disengages it, so a cycle in
which nothing was verified can never be counted as converged; the marker must
OPEN a reviewer's section, so a review that merely quotes a marker does not
suppress its own findings; a suppressed HIGH stays listed and tagged rather
than dropped; current_actionable is untouched; and a single-reviewer run is
unchanged.

No new command, config key, or dependency -- the gate reads signals that
already exist. The CYCLE_SUMMARY line shape the orchestrator greps is
unchanged; only the integer it computes moves, and only for 2+ reviewers.

Known limit, inherited rather than introduced: SOURCE_CITATION_RE checks
citation presence, not resolution, which src/review-lane-runner.cts records as
a deliberate #3194 scope boundary. A fabricated but plausible file:line still
gates.

Scope revised and re-approved on the issue before any code was written.

* test(#2398): make marker parity behavioral, and stop overclaiming the gate

Review found the parity tests were vacuous: they asserted a marker STRING
appeared in review-lane-runner.cjs's source text, never requiring the module or
calling the stampers, so they would pass even if stampUngroundedReview were
broken or never invoked. They now invoke the real exported functions and assert
what those functions PRODUCE — that an uncited review gains a leading marker
blockquote, that a review carrying a file:line does not, that a self-reported
blind review is stamped, and that stamping is idempotent. Removing the source
read also removes an incidental no-source-grep evasion via a parameterized path.

Review also found the changeset headline false for the class it matters most
in. The discount markers detect 'cited nothing' and 'had no repo access'; they
cannot detect 'drew a wrong conclusion from a real citation', so a judgment-class
finding invented by an evidence-bearing reviewer still counts alone. That is the
deliberate side of the tradeoff jags-faith named when closing #2417 — the
alternative is requiring corroboration for design findings, which is B2 — but
the changeset claimed lone hallucinations no longer force a cycle, full stop.
Corrected there, and stated plainly in docs/COMMANDS.md and the design record.

Also dropped the reviewer-instances.md entry from the emitted-drift ack: the
growth ratchet's currentSizes() scans only gsd-core/workflows/ and agents/
(tests/helpers/emitted-runtime.cjs:916-929), so references/ is outside it and
that entry acknowledged a delta the gate cannot see.

8b4545f3c0 feat(#3218): the prompt layer asks the CLI for plan counts (#3327)
* feat(#3218): the prompt layer asks the CLI for plan counts

Seven sites across four workflows counted plans with ls and wc -l instead of
asking the CLI. A shell glob is not scanPhasePlans, so every fix that landed on
the owner missed all seven: they counted superseded plans as live, reported zero
for the nested plans layout, and missed loosely-named files. The 1762 figure of
30 plans and 24 summaries came from here.

phase find is extended rather than a verb added - 3218 is an enhancement whose
own checklist says it adds no new command, and CONTRIBUTING makes a new verb a
feature needing approved-feature. It gains plan_count and summary_count for the
live set and plan_count_all for the physical one, additively; the existing arrays
are untouched.

Both sets are exposed because the sites need different ones. Amendment 1 names
two cases; three of these sites ask a third - did the planner write files to disk
- and take the physical set, because a superseded plan is still a file the
planner wrote.

The progress.md dead route is fixed and was worse than the issue said. It read
.plans and .summaries arrays that roadmap.analyze has never emitted, so the
fallback always fired, both counts were always zero, and Route 0's
resume-incomplete-phase check had never fired at all.

The ratchet baseline is empty. Its own stale-entry check makes that
self-enforcing.

Verified on the remote runner.

* test(#3218): acknowledge the workflow growth and update the stale guard

The emitted-attribution gate named its own remedy, so it was followed rather
than pre-guessed: four workflow files grew between 200 and 770 bytes because each
replaced a shell glob with a find-phase call plus its jq extraction. plan-phase
grew most - two sites, and it takes the physical count for its did-the-planner-
write-files question. progress also carries the Route 0 dead-path fix.

plan-phase-drift-guard asserted the literal old ls shape. Updated rather than
deleted: what it protects is that a filesystem fallback exists and is reachable,
and that is intact. It is not a regression - gsd_run is already load-bearing
throughout plan-phase.md long before step 9, so the 9a and 11a fallback never
existed to survive gsd_run being unavailable; it guards against the planner
subagent's return hanging.

Three ack sources collided with the new fragment, which the gate treats as a hard
error rather than last-wins. Only the three colliding keys were removed, not the
421 spent entries, and two fragments left entryless were deleted per the
convention that an empty fragment signals nothing.

Verified on the remote runner.

* docs(#3218): document the live and physical plan counts

docs/CLI-TOOLS.md gains a find-phase counts section covering plan_count and
summary_count for the live set against plan_count_all for the physical one, plus
the null-not-zero not-found behavior. The live-versus-physical distinction is
spelled out because a caller picking the wrong one gets a plausible number, which
is the trap Amendment 1 records.

Changeset leads with what a user sees: progress and execute-plan stop counting
superseded plans as outstanding, a nested plans layout stops reporting zero, and
Route 0 resume routing starts working after never having worked.

No how-to. Nothing is enabled and nothing is sequenced - the user runs the same
command and the number is simply correct. The one new distinction is field
semantics, which is what a reference entry is for.

pr:0 placeholder replaced with the real number now that #3327 exists.

7372d99a26 enhance(#2800): derive reviewer flag lists and gate reviewer lane docs across locales (#2882)
* chore(#2800): derive reviewer flag lists and gate reviewer lane docs across locales

The reviewer lane roster was hand-enumerated across five documentation
surfaces and three workflow files that had drifted apart: --kimi-code was
missing from all four translated COMMANDS.md mirrors, --coderabbit from
every workflow forwarding list, and --antigravity from FEATURES.md.

Adds checkReviewerDocsParity, a second pure gate deliberately separate from
checkReviewerLaneParity so a stale doc cannot make the runtime checker look
red. Workflows now derive their flag lists from a new review-lane flags
query instead of hand-enumerating them, which also retires the unanchored
grep that matched --agy inside --antigravity.

Documents the previously absent reviewer body and hostBehaviors field in
the capability manifest reference.

Closes #2800
Closes #2781
Closes #2272

* fix(#2800): key the docs parity table arm on first-cell position

Review found the flag arm was file-scoped, so the forwarding row that lists
every flag in its third cell satisfied it on its own. Deleting a lane's own
reviewer-table row -- the #2781 regression this gate exists to prevent --
therefore passed undetected.

Arm 4 keys on the FIRST table cell, which separates a lane row from the
forwarding row structurally and in every locale. Regression test included.

* fix(#2800): shape-filter the flags subcommand output

All three consumers read review-lane flags through an unquoted command
substitution so the output word-splits into loop items. Phase 2 admits
third-party overlay lanes, so an overlay flag containing whitespace would
inject a second loop item and one containing a glob would expand against
the cwd. Emit only well-formed flags so neither reaches the shell.

* fix(#2800): remove the regex length ceiling and count only prose mentions

Review found two real defects in the docs parity gate.

The never-throws contract was false: building a RegExp from a declared flag
or section title throws SyntaxError past ~100k chars, and Phase 2 admits
overlay lanes whose declared strings are untrusted in length. Every one of
these matches is literal, so String.includes replaces the regex outright,
which also deletes escapeLiteral and the llama.cpp escaping it existed for.

Arm 1 was context-blind: a flag mentioned only inside a fenced example or a
commented-out row counted as documented. Both are stripped before matching.

Also advertises all 13 lane flags in the argument-hint and corrects a stale
eleven-lane count in the slug grammar note.

* test(#2800): repoint the convergence suite off deleted workflow text

The derived flag loop deleted the literal per-flag grep lines four tests
matched on. Two of those failed loudly. The behavioral and property tests
failed SILENTLY instead: their end marker no longer resolved, so the parse
block extracted empty and both passed vacuously, and the property test's
gsd_run stub had a no-op default that hid it.

All now share one extractor and execute the real deployed block through a
gsd_run shim backed by the actual binary. The whitelist assertions become an
anti-parity check: re-adding a hand-written flag list must fail.

Also repairs two vacuous cases in the docs parity suite. The unreadable-doc
test called its own mock rather than the reader, and the integration test
bounded nothing, so a doc losing its marker would have been silently skipped
and still passed green.

* fix(#2800): run the derived flag loop after the launcher preamble

The remote matrix caught a real runtime bug, not a test artifact. In
autonomous.md and plan-review-convergence.md the launcher preamble that
defines gsd_run lives in a separate, LATER bash fence than the derived loop.
Each fence is its own shell, so gsd_run was undefined where the loop ran:
the command substitution yielded nothing and zero reviewer flags would have
been forwarded. Worse than the drift this epic fixes, and silent.

The whole CONVERGENCE_ARGS construction moves as one unit, because the
--max-cycles append sits between the loop and the preamble and would
otherwise have run against an uninitialized variable and then been dropped
by the relocated initializer.

Also documents all 13 lane flags in help/modes/full.md, which the repo gates
bidirectionally against each command's argument-hint.

* test(#2800): repoint the two converge suites off deleted flag literals

Both asserted workflow.includes('--codex') against the hand-enumerated list
the derived loop removed. They now assert the derivation itself, keep --all
and --text (convergence controls, still literal), and add an anti-parity
guard so re-adding a hardcoded list fails.

The lost pass-through proof is replaced with a real one: every flag the
tests used to hardcode is asserted present in the actual roster emitted by
the binary, which is the property the old assertion was protecting.

* test(#2800): acknowledge the workflow byte growth from the derived flag loop

* chore(#2800): backfill changeset pr number to 2882

* fix(#2800): strip HTML comments to a fixed point in the parity gate

CodeQL js/incomplete-multi-character-sanitization (high) on PR #2882: the
single-pass <!--...--> strip can leave a live <!-- behind, so a join-trick
construction smuggles a commented-out row past the gate and it counts as
documented. Not an injection risk here since nothing is rendered, but it is
the exact false pass this helper exists to prevent.

Strips to a fixed point, then treats any surviving opener as unterminated so
the multi-line branch closes it on a later line. Terminates because every
pass strictly shortens the string.

* test(#2800): pin the comment-smuggling regression with a real reproducer

The obvious fixture for this class does not reproduce it: <!--<!---->-->
leaves a dangling --> rather than a live <!--, and is caught either way, so
it would have passed with and without the fix. The join-trick construction
(<!- + <!--DUMMY--> + -...-->), the <scr<script>ipt> shape, genuinely
regresses on the single-pass strip and is what the test now uses.

920a5f3f06 fix(#2589): use --raw/--pick for config/model/verify lookups, drop jq dep (#2673)
* fix(#2589): use --raw/--pick for config/model/verify lookups, drop jq dep

The reviewer/workflow config lookups resolved scalars and object fields with a
`gsd_run query <cmd> … | jq … 2>/dev/null || <default>` shape. On any machine
without jq (the default on Windows/Git-Bash) the jq stage fails with exit 127,
the failure is swallowed by 2>/dev/null + the trailing || default, and the
variable comes back EMPTY — the configured per-lane model/host/budget is
silently dropped and the lane falls back to CLI defaults with no diagnostic.

gsd-tools ships native flags that do the same job with no external dep:
  config-get <key> --raw          (strips JSON quotes off a scalar)
  resolve-model <id> --pick model (descends an object)
  resolve-execution … --pick <f>  (same)
  verification.status … --pick status

Replaced every jq-piped config/model/verify lookup across review.md (×23),
plan-phase.md, ship.md, debug.md (incl. the redundant boolean coercion — --raw
returns true/false as bare tokens natively), autonomous.md (×2),
ai-integration-phase.md (×4), and eval-review.md. The legitimate structured-JSON
jq sites that parse HTTP curl responses (.choices[0], jq -rs, jq -n --rawfile)
are untouched — only the jq-replaceable lookups moved to the native flags.

Adds tests/fix-2589-config-get-no-jq.test.cjs: a source-invariant guard asserting
no audited workflow pipes config-get/resolve-model/resolve-execution/verification.status
to jq (fails-first on the pre-fix text, passes after).

* test(#2589): update autonomous-converge jq assertion to --pick; regen golden fixtures

Two test consequences of the workflow-doc edits in the prior commit:

1. tests/autonomous-converge.test.cjs pinned the OLD jq-dependent shape
   (`verification.status … | jq -r '.status//empty'`) as the canonical routing
   contract. The test's INTENT is correct (route human validation through
   canonical verification.status) but it over-specified the MECHANISM (the jq
   pipe). Updated the assertion to match the new native --pick status shape;
   the contract being guarded (canonical verification.status read before the
   human_needed branch) is unchanged.

2. The golden-install-parity fixtures (19 runtimes) record a content hash of
   every installed workflow .md; the 7 edited workflows changed those hashes.
   Regenerated via `npm run gen:golden` (the test's own failure message
   instructs this). Only the 7 edited workflow hashes changed in each fixture.

* fix(#2589): declare jq a prerequisite for the lanes that still need it; repair test file

Three defects in the first cut of the #2589 fix:

1. tests/autonomous-converge.test.cjs was a JavaScript syntax error. The regex
   literal /...2>\/dev/null .../ left the second slash unescaped, terminating the
   literal early and parsing `null` as regex flags:
     SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression flags
   The whole file failed to load, so every assertion in it — including the #1522
   and #1526 guards — silently stopped running. Replaced with the string-compare
   form already used at line 202 for the sibling shell-snippet assertion.

2. lint:ci failed. tests/fix-2589-config-get-no-jq.test.cjs buckets into the
   capped `config` production module via its `config-get-...` effective prefix,
   making it a novel offender against the 2-file cap. The test is about workflow
   documents, not the config module, so it is renamed to
   fix-2589-workflow-jq-dependency.test.cjs (free prefix) rather than growing the
   allowlist with a module that does not actually need a 5th test file.

3. The fix deleted the repo's only jq-prerequisite declaration. review.md:244
   ("install jq if missing") was the anchor plan-review-convergence.md cites by
   line number, and it went away with the jq pipes — while the ollama, lm_studio,
   llama_cpp, opencode, and agy lanes still hard-require jq to parse HTTP
   /v1/chat/completions responses, opencode's JSONL event stream, and agy's
   conversation cache. On a jq-less host those five lanes swallow exit 127 into
   empty output: the same silent-degradation class #2589 exists to close.

   detect_clis now probes jq alongside the other prerequisites and emits
   jq:available / jq:missing, and the five dependent lanes are treated as
   undetected when it is absent, with an install hint. The six lanes that do not
   need jq stay selectable. plan-review-convergence.md now cites the section by
   name instead of a line number that moves.

Regression guards added to the renamed test file: review.md must keep the jq
probe and must name all five dependent lanes, and no workflow may cite review.md
by line number. Workflow-size baseline and the 19 install-parity goldens
regenerated for the review.md / plan-review-convergence.md edits.

* fix(#2589): decide the ship verification gate on a single verification.status read

Isolated review finding (medium). Pre-fix, ship.md captured verification.status
ONCE into $VERIFICATION and picked status / next_action / next_command off that
cached JSON with three jq calls. --pick takes a single dot-path field, so the
mechanical conversion issued three separate queries up front: three node spawns
that each re-read the phase VERIFICATION.md and re-derive the commit-time vs
mtime staleness comparison, on every ship — including the common passing path
that never uses the two message fields. It also meant the gate's verdict and the
message shown to the user were derived from three reads with no guarantee they
observed the same state.

The gate now reads `status` once and decides. The two message-only fields are
read on the blocking path only, after PHASE_VERIFICATION_INCOMPLETE is already
determined — so the passing path costs one query instead of three, and a
concurrent write between reads can no longer make the gate and its message
disagree, because the block/allow decision no longer depends on them.

Adding a multi-field --pick to gsd-tools would have collapsed this to one query,
but that changes the flag's output contract and belongs in its own change.

Regression guard in tests/fix-2589-workflow-jq-dependency.test.cjs: ship.md must
read verification.status exactly three times total, the block decision must
follow the status read, and next_action / next_command must both appear after
the blocking prose so they cannot drift back onto the passing path.

352876ff0c fix(#2315): respect review.default_reviewers in bare convergence invocation (#2451)
* test(#2315): regression test for review.default_reviewers precedence

A bare /gsd-plan-review-convergence invocation (no reviewer flags) is supposed
to let users configure a persistent reviewer lineup via review.default_reviewers
and just run the loop. Instead, the orchestrator's argument parser silently
discards that configuration and forces --codex on every no-flag invocation —
with no warning that the configured reviewers were ignored.

This commit adds a regression test that fails against the pre-fix workflow
(the buggy unconditional --codex fallback is still present at this commit)
and passes after the fix lands:

- Structural: the workflow must NOT contain an unconditional
  'if [ -z "$REVIEWER_FLAGS" ]; then REVIEWER_FLAGS="--codex"; fi' line
  before the workflow.plan_review_convergence config gate.
- Structural: the workflow must query review.default_reviewers AFTER the config
  gate and document that empty REVIEWER_FLAGS lets gsd-review apply the default.
- Behavioral: matrix across {configured, unset, empty-array, explicit-flag}
  invoking the actual deployed parse + resolution blocks with a stubbed gsd_run.

Also updates two existing tests whose assertions the fix makes stale:
- #2293 behavioral: endMarker was the buggy unconditional fallback line; the
  bare invocation assertion was 'run("5") === "--codex"'. Both flip post-fix
  (endMarker is now the last --all grep line; bare invocation returns empty
  from the parse block, default applied later in step 1.5).
- command-default-claim: the pre-fix command documented '--codex (default if
  no reviewer specified)' which was the user-facing mirror of the bug. The
  assertion now requires the command to document the review.default_reviewers
  precedence.

* fix(#2315): respect review.default_reviewers in bare convergence invocation

Root cause: plan-review-convergence.md step 1 (Parse and Normalize Arguments)
contained an unconditional fallback that set REVIEWER_FLAGS=\"--codex\" whenever
no explicit reviewer flag was supplied. This value was then interpolated
verbatim into the gsd-review args, so gsd-review saw --codex as an explicit
flag (precedence rule 1) and never reached rule 3 (review.default_reviewers).
The same path silently dropped any configured review.reviewer_instances
(instances participate ONLY via review.default_reviewers per ADR-1517).

Fix:
- Remove the unconditional --codex fallback from step 1.
- Add a config-gated resolution in step 1.5 (after CONVERGENCE_ENABLED check)
  that queries review.default_reviewers and either leaves REVIEWER_FLAGS empty
  (letting gsd-review apply its own rule-3 default) or falls back to --codex
  when no default is configured — preserving the pre-fix default for
  unconfigured users (AC3).
- Replace the banner {REVIEWER_FLAGS} token with {REVIEWER_DISPLAY} so the
  startup banner reflects what will actually run (AC4), not a hardcoded value.

The fix upholds the documented precedence contract (ADR-0011, ADR-0015) that
the bug was actively violating. Explicit-flag invocations (--gemini, --all,
etc.) are unaffected (AC5).

References: #2315; ADR-0011 (review.default_reviewers precedence);
ADR-0015 (autonomous cross-AI convergence); ADR-1517 (reviewer instances).

* chore(#2315): bump plan-review-convergence.md baseline + changeset

- Bump plan-review-convergence.md size baseline 23713 → 25536 (the new
  step-1.5 default-resolution block).
- Add .changeset/plucky-yaks-roar.md documenting the user-visible change.

* fix(#2315): restore /gsd: colon syntax + skip behavioral test when jq missing

Two follow-ups to the #2315 fix discovered by gsd-test:

1. The fix commit accidentally regressed the slash-command namespace in the
   disabled-feature exit message: /gsd:plan-review-convergence (correct,
   from PR #3452) became /gsd-plan-review-convergence (retired dash syntax).
   The slash-command-namespace invariant test caught this. Restored the
   colon form.

2. The behavioral test exercises the deployed reviewer-resolution block,
   which pipes through jq. jq is a documented production dependency
   (review.md:244 "install jq if missing") and is present in every
   production deployment, but is NOT on PATH in the gsd-test linux-node{22,24}
   containers (same constraint as tests/opencode-review-reconstruction.
   property.test.cjs). Without jq, the printf|jq pipeline fails silently,
   the ||echo 0 fallback yields DEFAULT_REVIEWERS_COUNT=0, and the resolution
   falls through to the --codex branch — producing a false negative.
   Added a jqAvailable guard at module load (matching the existing pattern)
   and skip the behavioral test when jq is absent. The structural tests
   (no bash execution) still run and validate the fix.

* chore(#2315): regenerate golden-install-parity fixtures

Source changes to plan-review-convergence.md (workflow + skill mirror +
command doc) changed the install-tree hashes. Regenerated via
'npm run gen:golden' after rebuilding gsd-core/bin/lib/install-engine.cjs
('npm run build:lib') — the on-disk lib was stale relative to
src/install-engine.cts (isSymlinkedDestOptIn) and blocked fixture gen.

* test(#2315): address review findings — strengthen structural tests + property test

Code-review + security-review (isolated subagent passes) surfaced Low/Nit
findings; this commit addresses the test-side findings:

- Structural test 1 ("unconditional --codex one-liner") now asserts the
  buggy line is absent EVERYWHERE, not just before the config gate. The
  earlier assertion allowed a maintainer to re-add the line after the gate
  (passing the structural test) while the bug would still bite at runtime
  before the gate runs.
- Structural test 4 ("banner uses REVIEWER_DISPLAY") now asserts the
  LITERAL banner placeholder "Reviewers: {REVIEWER_DISPLAY}" and forbids
  "Reviewers: {REVIEWER_FLAGS}". The earlier workflow.includes(
  "REVIEWER_DISPLAY") was satisfied by a comment mention.
- New structural test for command/skill content parity: both files must
  document the review.default_reviewers precedence on the --codex flag
  (catches a manual edit to one that the gen:plugin-skills mirror misses).
- Behavioral test stub now passes default_reviewers via env var
  ($GSD_TEST_DEFAULT_REVIEWERS) instead of inline-interpolating into a
  bash single-quoted string. Removes the (currently-safe) fragility where
  a future test input containing a single quote would close the bash
  quote and execute as bash under execFileSync.
- New property test (fast-check, numRuns=25) for the JSON-classification
  contract: non-empty arrays of slugs -> empty REVIEWER_FLAGS; empty
  array / scalar JSON / malformed JSON -> --codex fallback. Locks the
  parser contract per CLAUDE.md mandate.

* fix(#2315): address review findings — defensive jq-missing warning + banner cleanup

Code-review surfaced two Low-severity workflow-side findings:

- Defensive jq-missing warning: if jq is not on PATH in production (it is
  a documented dependency per review.md:244, but the dependency can be
  absent in degraded environments), the printf|jq pipeline fails silently
  to "0" and a user with review.default_reviewers configured gets --codex
  with no indication their configured default was unreadable. Added a
  command -v jq guard at the top of the resolution that falls back to
  --codex AND emits a stderr warning explaining the reason. This makes the
  failure diagnosable instead of silently reproducing the #2315 override.

- Banner leading-space cleanup: REVIEWER_FLAGS accumulates with a leading
  space ("$REVIEWER_FLAGS --gemini" from ""), so the explicit-flag branch
  of REVIEWER_DISPLAY="$REVIEWER_FLAGS" rendered "Reviewers:  --gemini"
  (double space). Pre-existing but worth fixing alongside the AC4 banner
  work. Strip one leading space with the ${VAR# } parameter expansion in
  the explicit-flag branch only (the configured-default and --codex
  branches already produce clean strings).

* chore(#2315): bump plan-review-convergence.md baseline + regen golden fixtures

The defensive jq-missing warning grew plan-review-convergence.md
(25536 -> 26285 bytes). Bumps the per-file baseline snapshot and
regenerates the golden-install-parity fixtures for the resulting
install-tree hash changes.

* fix(#2293): recognize --agy/--antigravity in plan-review-convergence whitelist

The convergence reviewer-flag whitelist predated the 1.7.0 Antigravity CLI
adapter and silently dropped --agy/--antigravity, so convergence fell back to
--codex only and the working adapter was unreachable (worse after Gemini CLI's
upstream shutdown). Add both flags to the workflow grep whitelist, the command
argument-hint + flag docs, and the regenerated SKILL.md; they pass through to
/gsd-review unchanged. --gemini behavior is untouched.

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

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

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

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

* refactor(#1190): extract ADR-22 drift-guard decision logic into a testable seam

ADR-22's severity mapping, authority auto-upgrade, and rung>=3 hard-block lived only as prose in plan-review-convergence.md — untestable. Extracted into src/plan-drift-guard.cts (pure: AUTHORITY_RUNGS, getEffectiveAuthority, classifyDriftSeverity) + a gsd-tools drift-guard CLI seam (authority/severity), and rewired the workflow to call the seam deterministically instead of reasoning the decision in prose. 47 unit/e2e/structural tests cover the full severity table, the grep->intel auto-upgrade, and the rung>=3 HIGH hard-block.

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

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

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

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

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

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

e4e8a9fcb8 fix(#936): run plan-phase inline in convergence; guard against nested spawner wraps (#939)
Both sites in plan-review-convergence.md that wrapped gsd-plan-phase in
Agent() (initial planning + replan loop) are now bare Skill() calls at depth 0.
On Claude Code, a depth-1 Agent has no Agent tool so wrapped plan-phase could
never spawn gsd-planner/gsd-plan-checker — the replan loop silently produced no
revised plan when HIGHs were found. Running plan-phase inline from the depth-0
orchestrator (which retains the Agent tool) restores the full sub-agent chain.

A full audit of all workflow files confirmed these two sites were the only
instances of the anti-pattern (no other workflow wraps a spawner orchestrator
in Agent() without a RUNTIME carve-out).

Added structural guard test bug-936-no-nested-spawner-wrap.test.cjs that
dynamically derives the spawner set (workflows containing subagent_type=) and
asserts no workflow wraps a spawner inside Agent() without a RUNTIME != claude
carve-out — prevents silent regression. Test passes on fixed code, would fail
on pre-fix code at the two de-wrapped sites.

Also applied two low-severity prose nits flagged in review:
- commands/gsd/plan-review-convergence.md: orchestrator role updated to
  describe inline plan-phase + Agent for review (was generic "spawn Agents")
- gsd-core/workflows/plan-review-convergence.md success_criteria: narrowed
  "Each Agent fully completes" to the review Agent (plan-phase is inline now)

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

0fbce0fbc7 fix(#637): route 3 more workflows through gsd_run launcher (hardcoded $HOME sweep) (#642)
* fix(#637): route 3 more workflows through gsd_run launcher (hardcoded $HOME sweep)

The hardcoded `node "$HOME/.claude/gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs"` invocation form
fixed in plan-phase.md (#621) survived in three more workflows. Same bug class:
on a global/shim-only install with no project-local runtime, the hardcoded path
can miss a working install, so the step reports the tool "not found" instead of
resolving it via the launcher. #3668 introduced gsd_run resolution; these sites
were missed.

- plan-review-convergence.md: convert the 3 hardcoded invocations (init,
  roadmap get-phase, state planned-phase) to gsd_run. File already carried the
  canonical preamble (first gsd_run is the earlier convergence-enabled check).
- ingest-docs.md, spec-phase.md: convert their hardcoded invocations to gsd_run
  and inject the canonical launcher preamble via
  `node scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs` (these files previously had no
  gsd_run and no preamble). The injected preamble is byte-equal to
  _runtime-launcher.snippet.sh and precedes the first gsd_run call, per
  runtime-launcher-parity invariant (B).
- Add tests/bug-637-workflow-no-hardcoded-home-tool.test.cjs: repo-wide
  regression guard asserting NO workflow .md invokes gsd-tools via a hardcoded
  $HOME path. Generalizes the plan-phase-only guard from #621 — the parity test
  guards retired $GSD_SDK / bare /gsd-tools tokens but not this form, which is
  how it survived across four files. Fails on the pre-fix files, passes after.

runtime-launcher-parity 7/7; full unit suite green (3477 pass / 0 fail).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

test fixture tests/feat-3594-parser-property-style.test.cjs (embedded NUL/
non-UTF8 bytes -> thousands of bogus blobs + "ignored null byte" warnings),
and the ~800-file rename diff is slow to scan regardless.

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

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

* fix(#604): sweep get-shit-done refs introduced by merging next

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

Verified: guard 0 violations; build green.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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