5a0a9f0972 fix(#2944): remove the catastrophic-backtracking regex from the ADR-1671 example (#2950)
* fix(#2944): remove the catastrophic-backtracking regex from the example

The non-shipping Option-E reference example carried its own copy of the
predicate-id regex, which nested a dot-containing character class inside a
dot-prefixed repeat. A run of N consecutive dots therefore had exponentially
many partitions. Measured on next before this change: 30 dots 54ms, 35 66ms,
40 807ms — so roughly 55-60 dots hangs for hours.

Not exploitable where it sits: the example is outside tsconfig.build.json,
outside the npm package files list, outside the installer and outside tests,
so no build step or CI job parses anything with it. Fixed because the entire
point of a reference example is that people copy it forward, and ADR-1671
presents this one as the pattern for the platform.

Ports the linear per-segment validation that #2928 gave the production module,
so the two copies agree: both parse the real CONTEXT.md to 415 predicates
across 20 classes with 0 duplicates. Doubled-dot ids are now rejected here
too, matching production, and the grammar comment records it.

Also refreshes the example's committed index, which #2928 made stale when it
removed the duplicate predicate from CONTEXT.md.

Closes #2944

* test(#2944): guard predicate-index sync and example/production parity

Two regression tests for the two defects in this PR.

Index sync: asserts the committed docs/CONTEXT-INDEX.json equals a fresh parse
of CONTEXT.md, naming any diverging predicate ids. The merge race that reddened
next was invisible to both PRs involved and only surfaced on the next PR to run
lint:ci; this puts the same check inside the suite, which runs on every PR, and
a mutation test proves the assertion is not vacuous.

Example/production parity: asserts both copies of the parser report the same
count, classes and duplicates for the real CONTEXT.md, and agree verdict-for-
verdict over a table of id shapes. The divergence WAS the bug — production went
linear-time while the example kept the backtracking regex, with nothing
asserting they agreed. Also pins the example rejecting a 60-dot id, with the
clean rejection as the binding assertion and wall-clock only as a smoke check.

Notes a real tension rather than hiding it: ADR-1671 says the example sits
outside tests/, and this imports it. The ADR's intent is that the example is
not compiled, packaged or installed — not that it may silently rot. A parity
guard does not ship it. The file states this so a reviewer can object.

* fix(#2944): address both isolated review passes

Two independent reviewers (correctness and security axes, neither the author).
Security found nothing — it measured linearity to 100k chars across dots,
hyphens, underscores and mixed classes, and showed prototype pollution is
structurally unreachable because the first-segment pattern forbids
lowercase and underscore-leading ids. The correctness pass found three
blockers, all real.

Blocker: the parity test violated ADR-1671 verbatim. The ADR lists FOUR
exclusions for the reference example, the fourth being the CI test suite, and
the test imported it from tests/ while its own justification comment cited only
three -- constructing a rationale around the exclusion it broke. Moved to
scripts/lint-example-parser-parity.cjs wired into lint:ci; a lint script is not
the test suite, so the exclusion stands. The test file keeps only the
docs/CONTEXT-INDEX.json sync check.

Blocker: the mutation test leaked its temp dir. Its callback took no `t`, so a
failing assertion skipped the bare cleanup call. Now registered via t.after(),
matching the convention adr-index-gate.test.cjs documents.

Blocker: the example's own committed index carries the identical merge-race
staleness this PR fixes for the production one, and nothing guarded it.
Deliberately NOT fixed by wiring the example's --check into CI: that artifact
bakes line numbers, so it re-drifts on any unrelated CONTEXT.md line shift --
exactly ADR-1671 open question 4 -- and would make CI routinely red. The new
lint asserts the line-INDEPENDENT facts instead: count, class map, duplicate
set, and every (id, value) pair. Proven non-vacuous both ways: mutating a value
fails and names the id, mutating only a line number passes.

Major: a real divergence the parity claim would have missed. Production rejects
values containing an embedded CR, LF, U+2028 or U+2029; the example did not, so
a value with an embedded lone CR was rejected by one copy and accepted by the
other. Ported, and now covered by the parity table.

Also, found while verifying rather than reported: malformed diagnostics covered
only empty values. A doubled-dot id, a space in an id, and a lowercase-leading
id were all dropped silently. That contradicts the module's own intent -- a
typo should be diagnosable, and a space in an id is a likely one -- and
predicates are contractually cited, so a silently vanished predicate is the
failure mode that matters. Each rejection class now carries a named reason in
both copies, while ordinary inline code still yields none.

Trues up counts my own change staled: the example README and ADR-1671's
prototype figures said 416 and 393/18 against a real 415/20/0.

05b170e448 chore(#2928): productionize the CONTEXT.md predicate fact-store and gate it in CI (#2938)
* feat(#2928): port CONTEXT.md predicate fact-store into the src seam

Productionizes the ADR-1671 Option-E reference example as a real module:
src/context-predicates.cts (parser + selector + index builder) compiled to
gsd-core/bin/lib/, plus scripts/gen-context-index.cjs following the repo's
--check/--write drift-guard idiom and wired into lint:generated-sync.

Parser behavior is deliberately prototype-equivalent in this commit so the
next commit's regression matrix binds to the real defects rather than to a
missing module.

Two locked design deviations from the prototype:
- duplicates carry a count, not line numbers
- the committed index carries no line field at all, resolving ADR-1671 open
  question 4: an artifact without line numbers cannot drift on a line shift,
  so promoting --check to a CI gate does not make it routinely red

Also reconciles the one remaining duplicate predicate ID
(RULESET.WORKFLOW_MARKDOWN.FENCES was declared twice; the non-MD040 wording
is removed) so the gate can land fail-closed on duplicates.

* test(#2928): failing-first matrix for the predicate fact-store

Adds the regression matrix from the phase test plan: parser declaration
forms, fence and comment regions, ID/value grammar boundaries at
limit-1/limit/limit+1, CRLF fidelity, duplicate detection, the drift-guard
CLI, the selector query surface, and four document-shaped fast-check
properties.

Seven rows are RED for behavioral reasons against the ported parser:
indented-bare, star-list, plus-list and numbered-list declaration forms are
dropped; a tilde fence and a four-backtick fence containing a shorter fence
are not skipped; and a multi-line HTML comment is parsed as live. Eleven
selector rows are RED because the query surface is not wired yet.

Negative fixtures come from real repo documents that predate the grammar
(CONTEXT.md, CONTRIBUTING.md's fenced env-assignment examples) per the
fixture-provenance rule, and the property generators are document-shaped
rather than seeded from our own serializer.

* fix(#2928): consume the shared fence scanner, relocate the index, wire the selector

Drives the failing-first matrix green.

Parser: replaces the ported naive triple-backtick toggle with the shared
markdown-sectionizer fence engine. scanFencedBlocks and FencedBlockRecord
gain an export keyword — the only change to that module, which has 71
upstream dependents — because it already returns line-indexed spans, which
is exactly what a line-reporting parser needs. It also already documents
itself as the second copy of the fence state machine pending consolidation;
adding a third copy here would have been the generative-fix divergence this
repo warns about. A parity suite now pins predicate fence-skipping against
that scanner across eight fence shapes. HTML-comment skipping stays local
because the sectionizer has no comment scanner. Declaration forms widen to
indented-bare, star, plus and numbered list items.

Index location: docs/CONTEXT-INDEX.json, not a module under bin/lib. The
remote matrix run caught the original choice — a committed .cjs there ships
~120KB of CONTEXT.md prose into a runtime module, and two content guards
fired truthfully on it (a leaked .claude install path, and four hardcoded
package-name literals). Neither guard was allowlisted; the artifact moved
instead, mirroring docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json. Nothing at runtime needs to
require it — it is a drift-detection artifact, so the selector parses
CONTEXT.md live and is always current.

Generator: adds a frozen REASON enum and --check --json so the gate's
outcome is asserted structurally instead of by matching prose, and
--context-path/--index-path so tests drive the real CLI against a temp tree
with no filesystem monkeypatching.

Selector: gsd_run query context-predicates with --class/--prefix/--contains,
structured output carrying a matched count, own-property guards, and no
project-root resolution. Registering it exposed that the query dispatch
table and the usage string had drifted: a new parity test found 20 routed
commands missing from the usage list, all added here rather than deferred.

* test(#2928): lock the newly-public scanFencedBlocks contract

Exporting scanFencedBlocks made it public API for the first time, so it
needs its own contract test independent of the consumer that motivated the
export. Memtrace's co-change analysis flagged the gap: this suite changes
together with markdown-sectionizer.cts 8 times in 90 days and was absent
from the diff.

Covers the documented rules: 0-based indices, -1 for an unterminated fence,
the same-char/>=length/no-trailing-text closer rule, a shorter fence inside
a longer one staying content, CommonMark 4.5 backtick-in-info-string, and
<=3-space indent tolerance.

Refs #1671

* fix(#2928): address both isolated review passes

Two independent reviewers (correctness axis and security axis, neither the
author) found seven findings. All are fixed here with regression tests; none
deferred.

BLOCKER — comment-blind fence scanning caused silent, permanent predicate
loss. The HTML-comment scan and the fence scan ran as two independent passes,
and the fence scanner is comment-blind, so a fence delimiter inside an HTML
comment with no later close read as an unterminated fence and skipped every
remaining line to EOF. Worse, the drift-guard could not catch it: it diffs
against a baseline produced by the same corrupted parse. The two constructs
now interleave in a single pass so each suppresses the other's boundary
detection while active, covered in both directions. The parity suite still
binds this scanner to markdown-sectionizer's for comment-free documents, so
the two cannot diverge unnoticed.

BLOCKER — the selector was not consumed anywhere, leaving the phase's
acceptance criterion unmet. Now wired into the pre-work predicate-citation
step in contributor-standards, which is the repo's actual brief-assembly
path; no code-level brief assembler exists to wire into.

MAJOR — ReDoS with an unauthenticated CI-hang exploit. The predicate-id
regex nested a dot-containing character class inside a dot-prefixed repeat,
so N consecutive dots had exponentially many partitions: 40 dots took 565ms
and growth was exponential. CI runs this parser over a pull request's own
CONTEXT.md, so any contributor could have hung a shared runner with one
line. Replaced with linear per-segment validation. Doubled-dot ids are now
rejected; the real document contains none.

MAJOR — the duplicate-id gate had only ever been proven on synthetic
fixtures. A test now re-inserts the exact line this branch removed and
asserts the real generator names it.

MAJOR — --check together with --write silently let write win, turning the
gate into a writer; a missing path value resolved to the cwd and leaked an
EISDIR stack trace. Both are now clean usage errors.

MINOR — the hoisted skip-list was exported as a live mutable Set; replaced
with a read-only predicate. MINOR — flag-shaped selector values were
unmatchable; the inline --flag=value form now provides the escape hatch.
