Tom Boucher	fa41bfec5c	enhance(#3942): the emitted-drift ack is PR-lifetime data — move it to a commit trailer (#3954) ... * test(#3942): failing-first suite for the emitted-drift ack commit trailer Binds 37 input classes from the phase test matrix to the behavior ADR-3942 specifies, before any of it exists. Stubs return benign empty values rather than throwing, deliberately: several rows assert that something DOES throw (cap overflow, uncomputable commit range), and a throwing stub would turn those green for the wrong reason and destroy the red. The two rows that carry the design's load: - merge-base semantics. The range is $(git merge-base base HEAD)..HEAD, not base..HEAD, because changedPaths comes from `git diff base...HEAD` (three dot). Two-dot would let the ack set and the change set disagree about which commits are this PR's. The fixture forks a topic branch, puts a trailer on each side, and asserts only the topic-side trailer is in range. - fail-closed on an uncomputable range. With fragments a depth-1 checkout passes VACUOUSLY, every fragment reading as brand-new. With trailers the range cannot be computed at all, and returning an empty set would silently disarm the gate, so it must throw. The fixture builds a genuine shallow clone rather than simulating one. Also covers the self-inflicted case: this change's own documentation quotes the trailer syntax, so an example landing at the end of a commit message would arm a live acknowledgment keyed on the literal placeholder text. Keys carrying angle brackets or whitespace are rejected. Authored per the phase artifacts 40-design.md and 50-test-matrix.md. Not yet run on the remote runner — this commit exists to be tested. Refs #3942 * chore(#3942): move the emitted-drift ack to a commit trailer Implements ADR-3942, superseding ADR-2719 section 3 and its #2789 amendment. Sections 1, 2 and 4-7 are retained: the conservation law is unchanged, only the storage of its escape hatch moved off the working tree. An acknowledgment explains one PR's ripple, and the moment that PR merges the ripple is in the base, so it can never clear anything again. It was stored in permanent shared state anyway, and every consequence of that mismatch had to be built and then maintained. The chain is #2789 -> #2914 -> #3078 -> #3842 -> #3823 -> #3875, each fix generating the next defect, ending in a scheduled sweeper whose own first PR could not merge itself. Added parseAckTrailers + renderAckTrailer (pure) and readAckTrailers (IO shell), reading Emitted-Drift-Ack-Hash: / Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: trailers over the merge-base range. tests/emitted-ack-trailer.test.cjs, 37 cases, written failing-first and confirmed red before any of this existed. Changed diffEmitted takes two structurally distinct key-space maps instead of one shared paths map. That closes a latent defect: the spaces were separated by convention only, so a growth key satisfied a hash lookup by naming coincidence. staleAcks now reports which space a key was declared in. REMEDIATION teaches the trailer, per space, with its example rendered through renderAckTrailer so the taught grammar cannot drift from what the parser accepts. Removed the sweep workflow, the guard-no-ack-on-next job, the standalone linter and its lint:ci entry, the fragment directory and its three spent fragments, the legacy single-file union, and the baseAck/spentAcks mechanism -- spentness is now structural, not computed. Two range properties carry the design and are pinned by tests rather than asserted: the range is merge-base scoped, matching git diff base...HEAD, so an already-merged trailer is out of range by construction; and an uncomputable range throws instead of reading as zero acknowledgments, which is the inverse of the fragment guard's vacuous pass. Three deliberate observable changes, each disclosed in the changeset: the unread runtime field is gone, the legacy file is no longer read, and cross-space excusal no longer works. Ten open PRs carry fragments and will meet a modify/delete conflict. Measured before landing and accepted deliberately; the one-line migration is in the PR body. Verified: lint:ci exit 0. Remote runner to follow on this exact sha. Refs #3942 * fix(#3942): silent trailer collapse, lost coverage, and an unbounded cap Six findings from the orthogonal review round, all fixed in place. BLOCKER -- two trailers of the same name on one commit collapsed silently. readAckTrailers built `separator=1d` where git needs `separator=%x1d`: the `separator=` value inside a %(trailers:...) placeholder is itself a pretty-format string, so the bare hex was emitted as two literal characters and the split on \x1d never matched. Two same-name trailers therefore joined into one value with errors empty -- the first reason absorbing the second entry's key. Silent truncation, the exact class MAX_ACK_TRAILERS throws to prevent. Confirmed with od -c against real git output before and after. The failing-first matrix did not catch it because its "both spaces coexist" row uses Hash plus Growth -- different trailer NAMES -- so the value separator was never exercised. Two regression tests now cover same-name trailers directly. Coverage recovered: normalizeAckReason and INVISIBLE stayed on the live path via parseAckTrailers but lost every test when the old suite was pruned. Back under test against the current surface -- all six invisible codepoints individually, whitespace collapse, trim, CRLF, and two seeded fast-check properties. Dropping any single codepoint now fails. MAX_ACK_TRAILERS counted raw trailers before de-duplication, so one trailer carried forward across rebased commits counted once per commit and could throw on a legitimate branch. Now counts distinct entries; 100 identical repeats dedupe to one. diffEmitted validated baseline, current and changedPaths but not the new ackHash/ackGrowth, so a bad shape raised an unhandled TypeError instead of an error verdict -- the same defect shape this file documents for #2778. Docs: CONTRIBUTING and TESTING-SUITES were rewritten only in their first sections; the later passages still taught fragments, git rm and the deleted guard, contradicting the new text directly above them. Finished. Also extends lint-removed-but-needed to exempt docs/adr and docs/research. That gate fails on any docs mention of a file deleted in the same diff, which makes it impossible to document a deletion in the PR performing it -- an ADR's whole job is naming what it retired. Exemption is narrow and comes with a test proving the gate still fires for a live consumer elsewhere under docs/. A guard that cannot fail is worse than no guard. Maintainer-approved. CONTEXT.md names the retired machinery by role rather than by filename: its generated projection lands in docs/, which that gate does scan. Adds docs/how-to/acknowledge-emitted-drift.md. The required docs set is Reference and Explanation, so the task quadrant can be empty with every gate green -- and this change has a real multi-step journey, including the fragment migration ten open PRs now need. lint:ci exit 0. Refs #3942 * docs(#3942): correct the duplicate-trailer rule in CONTRIBUTING Both axes of the code review independently flagged the same passage, without seeing each other's output. It claimed two declarations of the same key are always "a hard, loudly-reported error, not a silent last-wins". That is only half true, and the missing half is the one contributors hit: identical declarations -- same key, same reason -- dedupe silently, because a trailer legitimately survives a rebase and reappears on every rebased commit. Failing there would red a branch for doing nothing wrong, which is exactly why the dedup exists. Only a same-key/different-reason pair errors, and that one is a genuine ambiguity about which explanation holds. As written, the paragraph told a contributor that a rebase-carried trailer breaks the gate -- the opposite of the behavior. CONTEXT.md's parallel entry already stated it correctly; this brings CONTRIBUTING into line. Doc-only, root-level markdown.

Tom Boucher	1e67ec9737	enhance(#3908): the scanners distinguish an empty diff from one they could not compute (#3937) ... * feat(#3908): the scanners distinguish an empty diff from one they could not compute collect_files ended 2>/dev/null || true, which destroyed the evidence three ways: the redirect discarded git's diagnostic, the pipe replaced git's status with grep's, and || true forced success regardless. Four distinct conditions - an established-empty diff, a bad ref, no repository, and a repository with no commits - all reported clean, and a secret scanner reporting clean because git failed is indistinguishable from an all-clear to any gate consuming it. git now runs separately from the filter so its status and diagnostic both survive. An established-empty diff exits NO_INPUT; a scope that could not be established exits UNAVAILABLE; the usage sites move off 2 to USAGE. || true is retained on the filter alone, where it is correct: a diff of only images is empty, not failed. Codes are sourced from a generated shell fragment rather than written into three scripts, so a re-allocation cannot desync them, and a missing fragment fails loudly instead of falling back to literals. The security workflow is updated in the same change: without it, a docs-only PR would newly fail the job. * fix(#3908): keep scanner stderr out of the file list, and drop try/finally from test bodies Capturing git and find output with 2>&1 was right for the failure path but wrong for the success path: a warning emitted alongside a successful diff flowed into the file list and was treated as a filename. stderr is now captured separately, forwarded as a warning on success and as the diagnostic on failure, and never folded into the list. Also converts the control tests' try/finally blocks to t.after(), which CONTRIBUTING bans inside a test body because it masks failures. * chore(#3908): backfill changeset pr number * docs(#3908): record the scanners' four-outcome exit contract SECURITY.md is root-level, so the docs gate correctly held: a Changed fragment owes a file under docs/. The contract also belongs where the feature is described, as REQ-SCAN-INJ-05. docs/FEATURES.md is GENERATED from per-feature fragments (#3840) - the first edit went into the generated file and gen-features --check caught it, which is the same edit-the-output drift this epic exists to close. The fragment is the source; FEATURES.md is regenerated. --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>	2026-08-27 13:11:13 -04:00
Tom Boucher	c5f2b94b27	enhance(#3907): gates report no-input instead of a verdict they never reached (#3932) ... * feat(#3907): gates report no-input instead of asserting a verdict they never reached The three stdin-reading gates bound 2 to a stdin read error only, with no arm for stdin closed at zero bytes - so empty input flowed into the detector, found nothing, and exited 1, which each module's own comment defines as a negative verdict. An unset PHASE_SECTION made the UI gate assert the phase has no UI. Empty and whitespace-only input now exit NO_INPUT, and a read error exits UNAVAILABLE rather than a locally-invented 2, both resolved through the registry and delivered by terminateNow. The exit code was only half of it: under --json the same input emitted {detected:false}, byte-identical to the fabricated payload #3909 exists to fix, and the blocking coverage gate reads that payload. Empty input now emits the in-tree {skipped:true,reason} form with no detected key at all. teams-status is excluded: it never reads stdin and has no invented 2, so the four-module framing in the issue and ADR is wrong. The dead root bin/lib/ui-safety-gate.cjs is deleted - no installer reference, no workflow invocation, and the live fallback chains are for other modules. Its removal restores the unit tests to the module that actually ships; they had been asserting the stale copy's two-field shape, which is why it drifted unnoticed. * fix(#3907): drive gate tests through the process seam, and make removed-but-needed basename-precise CONTRIBUTING requires every subprocess go through tests/helpers/process-seam.cjs; two of the three gate suites hand-rolled spawnSync while the third, added in the same change, used runNode correctly for the identical injection case. Converted the blocks this change added, leaving pre-existing ones alone. Deleting one of two files sharing a basename made lint-removed-but-needed report 14 references that were all to the surviving canonical module - the false-positive class its own docstring names. It now matches on the deleted file's full path when a surviving file shares its basename, which is more precise rather than weaker: a genuine full-path reference still fails, and behaviour is unchanged when no basename collides. It immediately caught a docstring on this branch that spelled the deleted path. * test(#3907): update the one existing assertion that pinned the old empty-stdin verdict A pre-existing test asserted exit 1 on empty stdin - the defect this phase removes - and was missed because the change added new blocks without auditing existing ones pinning the old contract. Audited the rest: the other three status-1 assertions in that file all feed real input and are the genuine-negative controls that must keep returning 1, so exactly one was stale. The retired 2 is gone from the describe's contract comment too. * chore(#3907): backfill changeset pr number --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>	2026-08-27 11:37:31 -04:00
Tom Boucher	941b62249e	enhance(#3906): two terminators over one registry, with a versioned exit projection (#3924) ... * feat(#3906): two terminators over one registry, with a versioned projection Adds terminateNow (write-then-terminate, for callers that cannot wait for the event loop) beside runMain (drain-then-exit), both projecting through one shared function so they cannot disagree - the parity the ADR makes mandatory. A failed write does not change the exit code: letting it propagate would fail a hook open, which is what the fail-closed branches exist to prevent. The projection is versioned. v1 reproduces today's integers, including keeping a payload-carried degraded result at exit 0 - ADR-2980 ratified that across 60 sites and declined normalizing it on measured blast radius. v2 applies the registry. --exit-contract=v2 or GSD_EXIT_CONTRACT=v2 selects it; an unrecognized version throws rather than silently defaulting. The registry is now emitted beside both copies of the exit module, so it resolves as a sibling in the built tree and in the committed scripts/ copy that must load on an unbuilt clone. * fix(#3906): actually restrict code 2 to terminateNow, and generate the registry's type The claim that terminateNow is the only place 2 can be produced was false: runMain's outcome arm applied no guard, so runMain(()=>'HOOK_DENY') set exitCode 2 through the drain path - and the parity matrix demonstrated it while calling it parity. runMain now refuses any outcome projecting to the hook-protocol code, gated on the code rather than the name so an alias cannot slip past, and the matrix asserts the restriction instead of contradicting it. The ambient type for the generated registry was hand-written with no gate against the generator's actual output - the declared-surface-diverges-from-runtime defect class this epic exists to close, reintroduced inside it. It is now a third generated artifact covered by the same --check. Also converts every test-body try/finally to t.after(). * test(#3906): derive the glossary fixture's dependencies instead of hand-listing them Adding a require to scripts/lib/cli-exit.cjs broke 31 tests in one suite that built its fixture from a hand-written dependency list, so the new sibling was absent and the copied script could not load. copyScriptWithDeps walks the require graph and exists for exactly this class - #3412 paid the same bill when one new require broke 82 tests across two suites. Migrating rather than adding another copyFileSync line keeps the class closed. The other nine suites referencing that path were triaged; none copies-and-spawns, so none needed migrating. * fix(#3906): enumerate the new shipped file, drop a vendor name from shipped data, and fix three test defects install: scripts/lib/exit-code-registry.cjs was missing from GSD_SCRIPTS_LIB_FILES, so it shipped to every install and orphaned on uninstall. The registry gave HOOK_DENY a meaning naming one harness, and that string ships into every runtime's tree - a guard correctly caught it leaking into the hermes and qwen installs. The registry is runtime-neutral infrastructure; the vendor name belongs in the ADR, not in shipped data. Two more fixture harnesses built their trees from hand-listed dependencies and broke on the new require; both migrated to the derived helper, and all 23 copy-and-spawn candidates were enumerated so the class is closed rather than patched. One generator test used a fixture code that collided with a real allocation, so the generator correctly reported a duplicate where the test expected drift. The large-payload test embedded a 256KB literal in the child's argv, exceeding Linux's 128KiB MAX_ARG_STRLEN so the child never started - it now builds the payload inside the child. * chore(#3906): backfill changeset pr number * docs(#3906): document the exit-code contract selector P2 is the first phase of this epic with a user-invocable surface, so the flag and env var owe a reference entry. Records what actually differs between v1 and v2 today (one outcome), that an unrecognized value is rejected rather than silently defaulted, and the fail-safe property that makes switching safe. --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>	2026-08-27 03:31:02 -04:00
Tom Boucher	39673ae9ff	fix(#3738): antigravity global skills/agents install to ~/.gemini/config (#3921) ... * test(#3738): antigravity global skills/agents must resolve under ~/.gemini/config Regression tests (RED first): --skills-root and gsd-tools query surfaces, install-plan dest dirs, and converter skills-path rewrite. * fix(#3738): antigravity global skills/agents install to ~/.gemini/config Antigravity's machine-local discovery scans ~/.gemini/config/{skills,agents}; the configHome (~/.gemini/antigravity) is deprecated for artifacts. Declare the ADR-1239 skills/agents 'home' override on the antigravity global layout — the same mechanism codex uses (.agents) — and divert ~/.claude/skills/ references in converted global content to ~/.gemini/config/skills/. configHome, settings, probe/migration semantics, and the local .agents layout are unchanged. * fix(#3738): retire deprecated configHome artifacts via installer migration 010 Next install converges an existing antigravity install: manifest-managed skills/gsd-*/ and agents/gsd-*.md under the configHome (a location AGY does not scan) are removed — modified files backed up first, unmanifested and non-gsd entries preserved — and now-empty containers retired. Global scope only; the local .agents surface is live. Docs + inventory updated. * fix(#3738): converter sync in bin/install.js, harness emit-root coverage, migration baseline - bin/install.js converter gains the same ~/.claude/skills → ~/.gemini/config/ rewrite as src (ADR-1508 dual copy must stay in sync). - Parity-manifest walk covers home-override emit roots (extraEmitRootsFor) so antigravity's emitted skills/agents stay differential-visible at their new install root; install-tree fixture regen confirms an unchanged key set. - skills-from-commands rule declares the antigravity converter as a runtime-scoped transform; one ack fragment covers the identity-classed workflow whose antigravity copy embeds the old skills path. - Migration 010 checksum baseline + home-override set doc updated; existing tests updated to the #3738 contract (global dest, golden parity via layout dest, integration expectations). * fix(#3738): tolerate an absent extra emit root on baseline-side measurement The base tree's installer predates the home override, so <HOME>/.gemini/config does not exist there; walk() threw ENOENT and the in-job baseline build failed. An absent extra root is the legitimate pre-override shape — skip it. * fix(#3738): review findings — manifest agents root, bare skills-path rewrite, guard comment - writeManifest resolves the agents-kind home override (_kindDestDirSafe), so the manifest records agents at their actual install root and drift detection keeps working (isolated review finding 1, major). - Converter bare forms ~/.claude/skills and $HOME/.claude/skills (no trailing slash) divert to ~/.gemini/config/skills instead of falling through to the retired configHome path (finding 2). - real-home-guard comment updated: antigravity's global agents kind is the first agents-kind home override (finding 3, doc-only). - Regression tests for both behavioral findings. * chore(#3738): changeset fragment (pr number backfilled after PR creation) * chore(#3738): backfill changeset PR number (3921) * fix(#3738): sandbox HOME in tests that install antigravity global artifacts antigravity is the first home-override runtime in the golden-parity and skills-wrapper suites (codex is not in their runtime lists), so those tests never needed HOME sandboxing — the real-home guard now (correctly) refuses their un-sandboxed global installs on CI, where HOME is the passwd home. * fix(#3738): stop the K3 sequential-sandbox env leak; sandbox L2's home-override plans K3's two back-to-back sandboxHome calls leave HOME pointing at the first sandbox once the after-hooks restore (each call saves the env as it found it, so the second saves the first's sandbox as 'original'). On the windows matrix that leaked gsd-k3-qwen-* home into the L2 property, whose antigravity/global run then (correctly) refused via the #3712 real-home guard — antigravity is the runtime that made L2's plan escape into os.homedir(). K3 now manages the env with a single restore; L2 sandboxes HOME per run, mirroring L1. * fix(#3738): L2 property's HOME sandbox must exist on disk The #3712 guard's sandbox exemption fails closed when identify(effectiveHome) is 'absent' — L2 never created its configDir, so on the windows matrix (tmpdir under the real home) the antigravity/global run refused even with HOME sandboxed.

Tom Boucher	e20744eacb	enhance(#3884): failure is a value — strict argv, and --pick that signals absence (#3922) ... * test(#3884): failing-first coverage for strict argv and absence-signalling --pick ADR-3473 §8.4 says failure is a value. Three families currently encode failure as success, and this commit pins each one RED before the fix lands. Measured on this tree, 2026-08-26: gsd-tools generate-slug "test" --pick nonexistent -> empty stdout, exit 0 (#3365) gsd-tools audit-open --pick nonexistent_field -> dumps the entire human-readable audit report, exit 0 gsd-tools generate-slug "Hello World" --raw --pick bogus -> prints "hello-world", another field's value, exit 0 gsd-tools query state.planned-phase 3 (positional, no --phase) -> exit 0; STATE.md's "Phase: 2 of 5 (Widget Support)" is overwritten to "Phase: null - READY TO EXECUTE" and the frontmatter gains a corrupted current_phase_name (#3358) tests/pick-flag.test.cjs:27 previously asserted the #3365 defect as the contract ("returns empty string for missing field", success === true). That assertion is replaced by the required behavior rather than deleted. The new parseNamedArgs block calls the spec-object signature that does not exist yet, so it fails today by construction. The 11 existing behavior-lock tests are left untouched here; they are corrected in the implementation commit. C1/C4 assert at the consumer's output - STATE.md's bytes - per ADR-3180 Decision 4(b). A unit assertion on the parser would have passed throughout this defect's life. Design: .gsd/phase/feat-3884-failure-is-a-value/40-design.md Test matrix: .gsd/phase/feat-3884-failure-is-a-value/50-test-matrix.md Refs #3884 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * enhance(#3884): failure is a value — strict argv, and --pick that signals absence Implements ADR-3473 §8.4. Absence, emptiness and failure stop being interchangeable ways to say "I could not answer". parseNamedArgs (src/command-arg-projection.cts) Takes a spec object with a REQUIRED `positionals: number | 'rest'` and returns the hub's Result shape instead of a bare Record. Declaring the positional arity is what makes #3358's call site unrepresentable rather than merely detectable: an unrecognized flag or a token past the declared boundary is now InvalidArgs, naming the offending token and listing the accepted flags. The legacy positional-array call shape throws a TypeError — an internal invariant violation per ADR-3473 Decision 2, so a stale hand-written .cjs call site fails loudly instead of destructuring undefined off a Result. parseNamedArgsOrExit projects a failure onto the caller's error(); it is a projection over the one parser, not a second parser. Measured before, against a STATE.md with a populated phase-2 block: query state.planned-phase 3 (positional, no --phase) -> exit 0; "Phase: 2 of 5 (Widget Support)" overwritten to "Phase: null - READY TO EXECUTE", frontmatter gains a corrupted current_phase_name After: exit 1, `unexpected positional argument "3"`, STATE.md byte-identical. The flag form is unchanged and still updates STATE.md. --pick <field> (gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs) extractField returns {found,value}, and the pick block no longer shares one catch between "output was not JSON" and "field was absent". An absent field exits 1 with pick_field_absent, naming the field and the keys that do exist; non-JSON output exits 1 with pick_output_not_json instead of dumping the command's entire output. A field that is PRESENT with value null, '', 0 or false still prints at exit 0 — that is an answer, not a failure, and it is what keeps `--pick count` printing 0 on a fresh project. Measured before: `audit-open --pick nonexistent_field` printed the whole human-readable audit report at exit 0, and `generate-slug X --raw --pick bogus` printed "hello-world" — a different field's value, confidently, at exit 0. ADR-3409 Decision 7 explicitly deferred this contract fix to #3473; this is it. The sub-issue's "returns 0 when the count is zero OR absent" wording is superseded by the ADR rule it implements: zero prints 0, absence exits non-zero. Defaulting absence to 0 would demote "could not answer" to "the answer is zero" — the hazard docs/how-to/resolve-unreachable-guard-findings.md already warns against. Guard ledger (ADR-3473 Decision 6) scripts/lint-unreachable-guard-drift.cjs Detector A is RETIRED. Its premise — that a `--pick ... || echo` arm can never fire — is now false, so the shape it forbade is the correct idiom and keeping it would forbid the fix. Detector B (glob-consuming cat/ls, a nullglob mechanism this change does not touch) is retained in full, as are the shared scanner, the escape-marker parser and the baseline. Net: -1 detector, 0 added. The file is not deleted. Call-site audit 45 prompt-layer --pick invocations, every one a plain X=$(...) assignment — none in an if test, && chain, or a pipeline whose status is consumed, and no shell block in workflows/commands/agents/references sets -e. Of the 13 (command, field) pairs the prompt layer reads, 10 are always present; the 3 sometimes-absent ones each sit behind a prior found/existence check. No ADR-3409-class "field the command never produces" remains.

A newline in an untrusted token forged a second stderr line. Before, plain-text mode: $ gsd-tools query state.planned-phase $'foo\nError: forged second line' Error: unexpected positional argument "foo Error: forged second line" After: Error: unexpected positional argument "foo\nError: forged second line" --json-errors mode was never affected — io.error runs that payload through JSON.stringify. Plain-text mode writes 'Error: ' + message verbatim, and the three new InvalidArgs reasons plus the two new --pick diagnostics all interpolate a token that comes straight from argv. Fixed with ONE shared helper, formatDiagnosticToken (src/io.cts), applied at every interpolation site — not a copy per site. It is deliberately NOT applied inside error() itself: several callers in this tree emit intentional multi-line diagnostics, and escaping newlines there would mangle them. The available-top-level-keys list needed the same treatment for a reason the review did not anticipate: `frontmatter get <file>` reads an ARBITRARY user document and echoes that document's own keys into the diagnostic. Verified reachable — a frontmatter key containing a newline reaches the key list — so formatKeyForDiagnosticList is guarding a live path, not a hypothetical one. Ordinary keys still render plain and unquoted; a fix that merely dropped the key would also have passed a "one line" assertion, so the test pins the escaped key's presence too. 2. Five behavior-table rows were implemented but nothing pinned them: B7 a dotted path that dies partway B9 bracket syntax on a non-array B10 a negative array index, in and out of range B14 a JSON root that is not an object B17 an @file: payload over 50KB B17 is the load-bearing one. output() writes @file:<path> instead of inline JSON past 50000 characters, and --pick resolves that BEFORE parsing; with no test, a future reordering of those two steps turns every large result into a false pick_output_not_json. The fixture seeds 1200 phase directories and measures the payload at 62474 characters, asserting the spill actually happened rather than assuming it. Refs #3884 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3884): correct the strict-argv surface against a full verification run The first full run came back with 90 failures across 12 files, none in the new tests. They were the argv surface telling me what it actually is. Ten root causes; each classified before anything was changed. I over-implemented, and that is reverted. ADR-3473 §8.4 says parseNamedArgs rejects "unrecognized and positional tokens". It says nothing about a value flag whose value is missing. Making that an error was my design decision, not the rule, and it broke a deliberately recorded contract: `--prd` with no value resolving to null (tests/init.test.cjs emptyPrdValueIsFalsyAndTreatedAsAbsent, row B5; tests/section-manifest-init-facts.test.cjs "flag-shaped value"). The "requires a value" branch is deleted outright rather than kept behind an option — an unused strictness mode is speculative generality. Unknown-flag and unexpected-positional rejection, which is what §8.4 actually mandates, is unchanged. --wave needed a third flag kind the original design did not anticipate. `--wave N` is documented (commands/gsd/execute-phase.md:4,48) and the shipped workflow reconstructs and passes it (execute-phase.md:84), while #2932 records token-PRESENCE semantics: the CLI cares only that the flag appeared, and the value belongs to the workflow layer. That is neither a boolean flag nor a value flag, so `optionalValueFlags` now exists — presence-only in `data`, and the validation cursor consumes a following non-flag token so it is not reported as a stray positional. Every other declared boolean flag was checked against every argument-hint and prose usage in commands/, workflows/, agents/ and docs/; `--wave` is the only one of this shape. Five tests were pinning forms that never worked. tests/adr857-core-without-capabilities.test.cjs passed `init plan-phase --phase 01-stub`, but the documented form is positional (docs/CLI-TOOLS.md:776) and the handler reads args[2] — which for that form is the literal string "--phase". Measured on the pre-fix build against a real .planning/phases/01-stub/ directory: init plan-phase 01-stub -> phase_found=true init plan-phase --phase 01-stub -> phase_found=false The test asserted only exit 0 and key presence, so it had been green while proving nothing about phase resolution. Corrected to the documented form and strengthened to assert phase_found === true. Same class in state.test.cjs (`--plan-count`, a flag that does not exist; the real one is `--plans`), milestone-archive.test.cjs (`init new-milestone --json`, silently ignored), and concurrency-safety.test.cjs (a bare positional field name whose OR-assertion passed because a whole-document dump happens to contain the substring it looked for). Six handlers had no argv validation at all — the same #3358 shape this phase exists to close, found while fixing the rest: init verify-work / phase-op / review / todos / remove-workspace read args[2] with nothing checking the rest, and validate health read --repair/--backfill through a bare args.includes() scan that bypassed the parser entirely. All now go through the seam, so the flag has one owner. tests/init-debug.test.cjs rows C4/C5 asserted that an unrecognized flag must NOT fail. That is the behavior §8.4 removes, and Decision 8 says a caller's local expectation does not override §8, so they are inverted and renamed — a test still called "ignores an unrecognized flag" while asserting rejection would be its own defect. Row C6's point is its PWNED canary; that assertion is kept verbatim and only its exit-status expectation changed, because the hostile token is now rejected rather than absorbed. The blast-radius estimate in 40-design.md is corrected rather than quietly left wrong. get_impact reported MEDIUM / 8 symbols upstream, and that was accurate for what the graph can see — parseNamedArgs's callers. It cannot see that those callers' handlers accept argv shapes wider than the code reading args[2] suggests, which is where the real surface was. Refs #3884 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3884): withdraw the validate-health tightening, finish the A2/A3 revert Second full run: 46 failures, down from 90. Four causes, two of them mine. Reverted `validate health` entirely — it was scope creep, and it broke a real flag. ~30 of the 46 read `unknown flag "--json"; accepted: --repair, --backfill`. The previous commit routed `validate health` through the parser on the reasoning that a flag should have one owner. That was wrong twice over: §8.4 names parseNamedArgs and count queries, and `validate health` was never a parseNamedArgs call site — it read its flags, just not through the parser, so it had no silent-drop defect to fix. Tightening it omitted `--json`, which the health-diagnostic suites use heavily. The handler is now byte-for-behaviour back to its pre-branch form. `validate context` stays converted: it genuinely was a call site, and its `--json` is now declared rather than read by a second `args.includes` scan. The five handlers that had NO validation at all — init verify-work / phase-op / review / todos / remove-workspace — stay fixed. Those read args[2] with nothing checking the rest, which is the #3358 shape this phase owns. Finished the A2/A3 revert. Three tests still encoded the deleted "a value flag with a missing value is an error" rule, including one added by the previous commit for that rule. All three now assert the reverted null contract, and the ones whose titles said "rejected" are renamed — a test named for a contract it no longer asserts is its own defect. `--wave=` and `--wave --weird` are correctly rejected. Neither is documented in commands/gsd/execute-phase.md, gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase.md or docs/, and neither is emitted by the shipped prompt layer, so both are unrecognized tokens that §8.4 mandates rejecting. `doesNotConsumeFollowingFlagAsWaveValue` keeps the property it exists for — asserted directly now, at the parser, that `--wave` does not swallow a following flag as its value — and only its exit-status expectation changed. A contradiction inside this branch, surfaced by the audit and resolved the safe way. Two pre-existing #3573 tests call `state begin-phase '2'` and `state planned-phase '2'` with a bare positional, relying on the old permissive parser to ignore it. This branch's own #3358 regression test requires that exact argv to be REJECTED. The two are mutually exclusive. Widening the router to accept a bare positional — mirroring complete-phase — would have silently re-opened #3358, and was verified to do exactly that: with the widened router, `query state.planned-phase 3` returned exit 0 and wrote current_phase_name again. It is reverted. docs/CLI-TOOLS.md:116 and docs/COMMANDS.md:2192 document only the `--phase N` form for both verbs, so the two #3573 tests move to it. Their assertions were never about the call shape — only that total_phases survives the resync — and both still pass. complete-phase is untouched: its bare positional IS documented, and it keeps the dynamic boundary and the negative-space note that record why. The audit that produced this is in the PR body: for every handler whose declaration changed, the flags it reads anywhere in its body, the flags the shipped surface documents, and the shapes the suite passes, compared. The `--json` miss was a pattern, not an accident — declaring a handler's flags from its parseNamedArgs call alone misses whatever it reads elsewhere.

Every entry records code, name, meaning, owning module and the decision that authorized it. The generator refuses to build a table where two entries claim one code, two claim one name, a code falls in a range Node or the shell reserves, 2 is claimed by anything but the hook adapter, or an allocation carries no justification. exitCodeFor is pure and total: it throws rather than returning undefined, including for prototype-chain names. Inert by design — nothing emits a registered code until #3906. Every registered code is non-zero, asserted over the whole table, so a caller testing for failure behaves identically for pass and trips for everything else. * feat(#3905): make the registry generator's failures machine-readable Adds a --json mode carrying {ok, reason, context, detail}, where context is a typed payload naming the specifics the prose embedded - which code collided and under which names, which band rejected a code, which field was missing. The tests now assert on that structure instead of regex-matching the generator's stderr, which CONTRIBUTING prohibits, and the CONTEXT.md glossary gains the entry the issue's scope requires. * test(#3905): refresh the install-tree fixtures for the new declaration The registry declaration ships in the install tree, so all 19 golden fixtures needed regenerating.

Tom Boucher	7e9d33c378	enhance(#3915): stryker on the official tap runner, 29m to 12m on the critical path (#3919) ... * enhance(#3915): stryker on the official tap runner, per-test coverage The 'command' runner is the one runner Stryker excludes from coverage analysis, which forced coverageAnalysis:'off' and made mutation cost strictly linear in (mutants x whole-shard test time). The frontmatter shard measured 1751s against 212s for the next slowest. Swap to @stryker-mutator/tap-runner (official plugin, peer-pinned to the @stryker-mutator/core@9.6.1 already installed) and turn coverage analysis on, so Stryker re-runs only the test files that cover each mutated line. Per-shard injection moves from a MUTATION_TEST_CMD command string to MUTATION_TEST_FILES, read by a new fail-closed resolveMutationTestFiles() that mirrors resolveMutationBreak. It stays derived from scripts/mutation-matrix.cjs and now has a single owner: the union moves behind allCoveredTests() and stryker.config.mjs no longer imports COVERED. The resolver existence-checks every entry, because the tap runner resolves tap.testFiles with glob() and a non-matching pattern yields an empty list silently - a fast, confident, meaningless run. tap.forceBail is off by measurement, not preference: a structural AST audit found 3 of 26 shard test files spawn subprocesses, and bail fires on every killed mutant, so leaving it on would kill processes mid-spawnSync and orphan their children. The matrix 'isolation' field is removed - per-file process isolation is inherent to the tap runner, so the field had no consumer left. Score arithmetic is unchanged and now pinned: mutationScore counts NoCoverage in the same denominator as Survived, which both Stryker's thresholds.break and check-mutation-score-ratchet.cjs read. A new non-vacuity test proves it diverges from mutationScoreBasedOnCoveredCode, so the gate cannot be quietly swapped to the field that would make every floor trivially satisfiable. Refs #3915 * fix(#3915): enforce the resolver's documented containment contract Review findings, all fixed in place. resolveMutationTestFiles claimed to verify each entry exists 'relative to the repo root' but used a bare fs.existsSync(path.join(...)), which accepts an existing DIRECTORY and lets ../ segments escape the root (path.join('/repo/root','../../etc/passwd') resolves to /etc/passwd). Not reachable from PR content - the value only ever comes from the static COVERED registry via CI env - but a fail-closed contract that overstates its own guarantee is a defect in the contract. Each entry is now resolved, rejected if path.relative puts it outside the root, and required to be a regular file. Three hostile-input tests added; the original missing-file wording is preserved so the existing assertion still binds. Also: removed a stale buildResult comment still naming the isolation field this branch deleted; hoisted one top-level path require in place of three inline ones; de-duplicated the derived-test-list expression in the tests to a single const, deliberately still re-derived from COVERED rather than calling allCoveredTests() so the assertion cannot become a tautology; tightened the workflow-parity assertion to exact equality; changed the tap-runner range from an exact 9.6.1 to ^9.6.1 so it tracks the caret-ranged core its peerDependency pins exactly. Regenerated examples/dynamic-context-management/CONTEXT-INDEX.json, which the earlier CONTEXT.md edit left stale - lint:ci was red on lint-example-parser-parity until it was refreshed. Refs #3915 * test(#3915): kill model-catalog survivors, set frontmatter budget from measurement From mutation run 33026833181 (all 13 shards, dispatched on this branch before any PR). WALL TIME: frontmatter measured 713s (11m53s) vs 1751s (29m11s) on the command runner, a 59% cut. timeoutMinutes 60 -> 20 (1.68x measured). Not deleted outright: the shared 15-minute default would leave only 21% headroom, and this module's mutant count grew 1.8x in one change. MODEL-CATALOG: came back 57.91 against its floor of 58. Diagnosed from the report JSON, not assumed - all 24 of its new RuntimeError mutants are in the load-time catalog bootstrap, so mutating them makes the module throw at require. Under node --test that is a failed test file (Killed); under the tap runner the process dies before emitting TAP, which Stryker classifies RuntimeError and excludes from the denominator. Add them back as killed and the shard is 248/416 = 59.62, the pre-change number exactly. Detection did not regress, classification changed. The floor is NOT lowered to absorb that. 11 new behavioural tests target ~42 genuinely surviving mutants: exact Set equality on the EFFORT_RENDERING/EFFORT_ARGV supported sets, an exact-string table render that makes the column-width arithmetic observable (padEnd never truncates, so the old substring assertion could not see a too-small width), clampEffortForHost's full null matrix plus a spoofed-toString host, and a prototype-pollution guard driven through Object.fromEntries. Mutants judged equivalent were skipped rather than papered over; reasoning is in the phase artifacts. All 15 new assertions verified against unmutated code. lint:ci exit 0. Refs #3915 * test(#3915): ratchet model-catalog's floor to 74 on measured 75.26% CI run 33029755081 measured model-catalog at 75.26% (295 killed / 49 survived / 48 no-coverage / 24 runtime-error, totalValid 392), so check-mutation-score-ratchet.cjs correctly failed the shard for unclaimed headroom: 17.26 points above the declared floor of 58, well past the 5-point slack. Floor raised 58 -> 74 (floor(75.26)-1, this file's documented convention), with RATCHET_BASELINE updated in the same diff as the equality assertion requires. Worth recording why the number moved this far. The shard first came back at 57.91 under the tap runner and the temptation was to lower the floor to match. The drop was not a regression: all 24 of its RuntimeError mutants sit in the load-time catalog bootstrap, and adding them back as killed reproduces 248/416 = 59.62, the pre-swap figure exactly. Rather than absorb a reporting artifact by weakening the gate, 11 behavioural tests went after the genuinely surviving mutants and killed 68 of them - carrying the module from 59.62 past its old ceiling to 75.26, within reach of the ADR-456 target of 80. The #3007 measurement is kept as clearly-labelled prior context rather than deleted, so the entry does not read as carrying two current numbers.

RED until the generator lands. * enhance(#3904): generate the scripts-side exit module from one source src/cli-exit.cts becomes the single source of truth and scripts/lib/cli-exit.cjs a generated artifact of its compiled output, byte-compared by a --check entry in lint:generated-sync. The two had drifted: only the .cts copy emitted the documented {ok:false,reason,message} envelope on an unexpected throw, so a scripts-side tool printed a raw stack where docs/json-errors.md promises structured output. The generated file is committed and must load on an unbuilt clone (64+ consumers, incl. check-env.cjs), and gsd-core/bin/lib/cli-exit.cjs is gitignored tsc output that doubles as the build sentinel, so it cannot be required from there. The exit module therefore drops its io.cjs import: the json-error-mode accessors move into it and io.cts re-exports them, leaving its export surface unchanged. The flag lives in a Symbol-keyed cell on globalThis because one source emitted to two locations means two module instances, and a module-level flag would give them two independent values. * chore(#3904): changeset for the generated scripts-side exit module * docs(#3904): name which surfaces honor the json-error envelope contract docs/json-errors.md described the structured envelope as what runMain does without saying which copies of runMain actually had the branch — a claim that was silently false for every scripts/-side tool.

Tom Boucher	6b7df61938	enhance(#3881): one YAML parser — vendored js-yaml replaces the hand-rolled dialect (#3888) ... * docs(#3881): answer §8.1's open question and correct three wrong premises ADR-3473 §8.1 carries a blocking open question with a forcing function: it must be answered before any implementation PR for the rule opens. Answered here as (a), a string-coercing adapter, with the measurement that settles it. The sequencing note bet that §8.8's schema would make (b) tractable. Measured against merged reality it does not: only 33 of extractFrontmatter's 78 non-test call sites read STATE.md, and two of the five compensating mechanisms §8.1 lists survive real types, leaving ~31 lines across 3 call sites as the actual prize. Also corrects three claims verified false while answering it. §8.1's justifying sentence names #3349 and #3360 as defects a real parser would fix; both are already fixed on next, confirmed by executing the compiled parser rather than reading it. The guard roster calls lint-frontmatter-scalar-broad-grep.cjs an expected casualty of this rule, but it guards shell grep idioms in workflow bash fences and never touches our parser. The same roster calls lint-vendored-deps.cjs reusable as-is; it is hardcoded to re2js throughout. The last two were caught by applying the rule this amendment records -- a factual claim in this ADR is a hypothesis until the implementing phase executes it -- on its first use. Refs #3881 * docs(#3881): record that §8.1's fork is ill-posed and (a) is not implementable An adversarial pass on the Phase 4 design established by execution that extractFrontmatter is not a YAML parser but a line-oriented scanner whose output is a function of raw source text. Four spellings of the same value collapse to one js-yaml tree but produce four distinct legacy strings, one of them mangled. No adapter over a tree can choose among outputs the tree does not distinguish, so fork (a) -- keep a string-coercing adapter so the existing contract holds -- cannot be built. For any document with a non-scalar value, (a) collapses into (b); about 26 percent of frontmatter-carrying documents have one. Also records three design defects and one new attack surface, all confirmed by execution: catching a parse failure and returning {} would delete the frontmatter block on the next write at eight call sites that conflate empty with unparseable; an empty value yields null where legacy yields {}, and reconstructFrontmatter omits null-valued keys, so the shipped state template's empty progress key would vanish; the #1882 truncation probe is parseYamlRegion itself rather than a pre-parse heuristic, so it cannot both stay unchanged and survive that deletion; and FAILSAFE_SCHEMA still resolves aliases, expanding seven lines to 22.8 MB. The rule is not deferred. The measurement is the deliverable and the re-scoping is recorded as an open question with a forcing function, per section 8's own rule. Refs #3881 * test(#3881): failing-first rows for block scalars, unicode keys and the missing #3594 matrix Creates tests/feat-3594-parser-adversarial-frontmatter.test.cjs, the file the fixture README instructs contributors to register fixtures in but which never existed.

Refs #3881 * chore(#3881): vendor js-yaml and generalize the vendored-deps guard to a manifest Packaging step for ADR-3473 §8.1: makes js-yaml available to gsd-core/bin/** without promoting it out of devDependencies (promoting broke every installed tree, #3496). gsd-core/bin/lib/vendor/js-yaml.cjs is a verbatim copy of node_modules/js-yaml/dist/js-yaml.js (the self-contained UMD dist bundle, not index.js), exposing load/dump/FAILSAFE_SCHEMA/YAMLException with zero require() calls of its own. src/vendor/js-yaml.d.cts is hand-authored, not copied, because js-yaml ships no upstream .d.ts and @types/js-yaml is not installed. It is deliberately narrow, declaring only the four symbols in use, so anchors/aliases/custom types/loadAll are unreachable from typed code -- a compile-time enforcement of ADR-3473 §8.1's refusal to expand alias resolution for security reasons. Because it has no upstream counterpart it is excluded from the byte-compare. scripts/lint-vendored-deps.cjs is refactored from a script hardcoded to re2js into a table-driven VENDORED manifest (one row per package: upstream/vendored .cjs paths, optional .d.cts paths, twin kind upstream-verbatim vs hand-authored) so a second vendored package does not require a second hardcoded check block, per ADR-3473 §8.3 'one implementation per rule'. The four existing re2js checks (vendored .cjs vs node_modules, vendored .d.cts vs node_modules, src/vendor twin vs bin-side twin, devDependency version pin vs installed version) are preserved unchanged; verified pass/fail identical before and after the refactor, and the guard's ability to fail was re-proven with a deliberate one-byte append to both re2js.cjs and js-yaml.cjs, then restored. docs/INVENTORY.md and docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json (via gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write, run after build:lib) register vendor/js-yaml.cjs. gsd-core/bin/lib/vendor/README.md documents both vendored packages and the two twin kinds. Refs #3881 * feat(#3881): parse .planning frontmatter with the vendored js-yaml ADR-3473 §8.1: extractFrontmatter's read path is no longer a hand-rolled line scanner. parseYamlRegion, escapeDoubleQuoted, unescapeDoubleQuoted and parseQuotedScalar are deleted (not patched); parsing now goes through the vendored js-yaml (./vendor/js-yaml.cjs) under { schema: FAILSAFE_SCHEMA, json: true }. Everything js-yaml does not do is layered on top, in one place, carrying the seven design-doc consequences: 1. Empty value: a null js-yaml value is coerced to {} (matching legacy's own empty-value contract) so reconstructFrontmatter — which omits null-valued keys — still round-trips a bare `key:` line instead of deleting it. Verified live: progress: with no value survives parse -> reconstruct -> re-parse. 2. Unparseable no longer collapses to a bare {}: a new FRONTMATTER_UNPARSEABLE Symbol (exported), keyed exactly like the existing #3257 FULL_LINE_COMMENTS channel, is carried on the {} returned for malformed/refused YAML. Invisible to Object.keys/entries/JSON.stringify/for-in, so the 70 call sites that never inspect it are unaffected; wiring the 8 hasFrontmatter sites to consult it is a separate change, not done here. 3. Non-scalar object-list items (the four spellings of `- test: a b` that js-yaml collapses into one tree shape) are rendered as a canonical `key: value[, key2: value2]` string per item, keeping the existing array-of-strings value SHAPE. A full corpus differential over all 1702 tracked markdown files found 11 residual divergences from the legacy parser (enumerated in the PR/report), most of them the parser now being MORE correct (a dropped quoted top-level key, the block-scalar/phantom-key defect, a dropped Unicode key). 4. The #1882 truncation probe still runs the one real parser, but derives its key count from js-yaml's own thrown error and mark.line when the whole region doesn't parse cleanly (the dominant real truncation shape: fence opened, well-formed keys, no closing fence). Verified against both the clean-parse and the exception-fallback path. 5. The #3257 comment channel now attributes each pending column-0 comment against js-yaml's own parsed top-level key list (matched by literal key text, in document order) instead of the legacy ASCII-only key regex, so a comment above a Unicode key attaches correctly. 6. Anchors, aliases and merge keys are refused outright (a raw-text pre-scan, since FAILSAFE_SCHEMA still resolves them) — corpus occurrences today: zero. A 7-line billion-laughs fixture is verified refused rather than expanded. 7. A literal U+0000 is swapped for a private-use sentinel before the parse and restored in every resulting string afterward, since js-yaml rejects NUL unconditionally under every schema. escapeDoubleQuoted is deleted and reimplemented via js-yaml's dump() (forced double-quoted style), with control-char hex escapes lowercased to keep serialized output byte-stable (#1779 emitted lowercase); it keeps its exported name and signature for its two other call sites (commands.cts, runtime-artifact-conversion.cts), which need no change. frontmatterDeepEqual, the comment channel, sliceTopLevelFrontmatterSegments, regenerateFrontmatterKey's guard, noOpObjectListSetError and parseMustHavesBlock are all unchanged — retiring them is fork (b) and is not this phase. Refs #3881 * fix(#3881): quote template placeholders and preserve unparseable frontmatter SECURITY.md/UI-SPEC.md/VALIDATION.md wrote frontmatter placeholders as bare {N}/{phase-slug}/{date}, which is valid YAML flow-mapping syntax under the vendored js-yaml parser, not the literal placeholder text intended. Quote them so they parse as strings. Wire the FRONTMATTER_UNPARSEABLE Symbol (exported but unused) at the 8 call sites in state.cts/state-transition.cts that compute hasFrontmatter via Object.keys(extractFrontmatter(...)).length > 0 and reassemble the document without a frontmatter block when false. That check conflated 'no frontmatter' with 'unparseable frontmatter' (both parse to {}), so a document with a merge-conflict marker or refused alias in its frontmatter had that block silently dropped on write. Each site now preserves the exact raw bytes stripFrontmatter removed when the marker is set, leaving the genuinely-empty case unchanged.

Also records the scope caveat that the CLI write path rebuilds the frontmatter block independently, so the marker binds at the transform layer. Refs #3881 * docs(#3881): record the semantic-migration decision and the counted guard ledger The maintainer chose the full semantic migration over splitting the rule into its own epic or patching the scanner, so section 8.1 is answered as "the fork was ill-posed and the migration is semantic" rather than as (a) or (b). Also replaces the pre-implementation guess that this phase would shrink the guard surface with the counted result: excluding vendored third-party lines the hand-maintained surface is net +307, and frontmatter.cts grew by 68 lines despite four functions being deleted, because the compatibility layer over js-yaml is larger than the scanner it replaced. Section 8.1's stated benefit is therefore not delivered as written; what improved is the kind of code maintained, not the amount. Decision 6 requires recording that rather than netting it away.

A quoted key ("a": &x), a flow mapping ({b: &x}) and a flow sequence ([&x, *x]) all define/use the SAME anchor mechanics while never matching that line shape, so the exact expansion the guard exists to stop went straight through unrefused (a 303-byte quoted-key bomb expanded to ~35.8MB). Replaced with js-yaml's own `load` `listener` callback, which reports `state.anchor` for every event belonging to an anchored node in every spelling, and throws from inside the callback to abort before any expansion (~1-2ms vs full expand-then-discard). A merge key with an alias is still refused (merge always requires a previously anchored node, so the alias itself trips the listener); a bare merge key with NO alias is no longer separately refused, documented as intentional: FAILSAFE_SCHEMA never resolves `!!merge`, so it carries no expansion risk. Table-driven tests added for all four bypass spellings + merge key, plus a quoted-key-spelled billion-laughs fixture registered in the adversarial matrix and README. Finding 2: src/vendor/js-yaml.d.cts's docblock falsely claimed anchors/ aliases were "simply UNREACHABLE from typed code" through the twin. Corrected to state the truth: anchor/alias resolution is document-level `load` mechanics reachable through exactly the declared surface, and refusal is enforced at RUNTIME (Finding 1's listener), not by the type surface. Finding 3 (MAJOR): the null-byte sentinel (U+E000) round-trip was non-injective — restoreNullBytesDeep rewrote every U+E000 in the parsed tree back to NUL, including one the document author legitimately wrote, silently corrupting it. Now refuses outright whenever the raw region already contains U+E000 (consistent with the existing anchor/merge-key refusal path), making the substitution provably injective. Tests added for a real NUL alone (preserved), a pre-existing U+E000 alone (refused, not corrupted), and both together (refused, not merged into one byte). Finding 4 (MAJOR): scripts/lint-vendored-deps.cjs's `srcTwin` field was dead for a hand-authored row (only read inside the upstream-verbatim branch) — exactly how Finding 2's stale docblock drifted unnoticed. Added checkHandAuthoredTwin: every value-level export the twin DECLARES must be an actual own property of the vendored runtime module at require-time. Tests added, including a sensor that a declared-but-nonexistent export IS caught. Finding 5: the existingFm/hasFrontmatter/stripFrontmatter/fmPrefix/ unparseableFm/reassemble preamble, copy-pasted at 7 sites in state-transition.cts plus a sixth hand-inlined copy in state.cts's cmdStateCompletePhase, is now one exported helper (beginFrontmatterReassembly) every site routes through, including the hand-inlined one. Three call sites (beginPhaseCore, patchCore, updateCore) keep a literal `body = stripFrontmatter(content)` assignment alongside the helper call so scripts/lint-state-write-path-drift.cjs's single-hop backward scan (which does not chase aliases) still sees the strip; stripFrontmatter is pure/idempotent so the extra call changes nothing observable. Finding 6: corrected the frontmatter.cts docblock's stale "wiring is a separate change" claim (the 8 call sites are wired on this branch) and the changeset's backlink from (#3473) to (#3881). Finding 7: fixed the lint:ci failures blocking the gate — an @typescript-eslint/only-throw-error violation from throwing a bare Symbol as the anchor-detected signal (now a real Error subclass), unused-var warnings left over from the Finding 5 refactor, a lint-test-file-count cap exceeded by two migration-specific test files (allowlisted with justification), and the lint-state-write-path-drift false positive from Finding 5's helper (fixed above). tests/frontmatter-golden-parity.test.cjs:117's execFileSync already carried an explicit timeout; no change was needed there. Golden fixture: added a golden entry for the new anchor-alias-bomb-quoted.md fixture ({} — matches what the legacy line scanner would also produce, since it independently dropped every quoted top-level key). No other corpus document diverges: real .planning/ documents carry zero anchors/aliases/merge keys/U+E000 today. Refs #3881 * fix(#3881): fold in second-round review findings Finding 1 (BLOCKER): tests/frontmatter.test.cjs pinned the pre-migration ASCII-only key regex for the Unicode fixture; updated to require the 相 key's value now that js-yaml has no such restriction. Audited the rest of the file for other pre-migration pins (block scalars, quoted keys, flattened values, empty values, duplicate keys, unclosed blocks, null bytes) by execution against real fixtures; found none regressed. Finding 2: parseYamlRegion and escapeDoubleQuoted renamed to parseGuardedYamlRegion and escapeDoubleQuotedScalar in src/frontmatter.cts so no function still answers to the deleted hand-rolled scanner's name (ADR-3473 §8.1 "deleted, not patched"). escapeDoubleQuotedScalar's three external call sites (src/commands.cts, src/runtime-artifact-conversion.cts) updated in the same change — a mechanical rename, not an ADR-amendment matter. Finding 3 (BLOCKER): fixed a real crash and a silent data-loss bug found by execution. A top-level key named constructor/__proto__/toString/ valueOf/hasOwnProperty crashed reconstructFrontmatter (bracket read resolving an inherited Object.prototype member); a key literally named __proto__ was silently DROPPED entirely (bracket assignment on an ordinary {} invoked the inherited __proto__ setter instead of creating a data property). Fixed by building every parsed Frontmatter object with Object.create(null), and replacing an `in` check with hasOwnProperty.call in propagateCommentChannel. Added round-trip tests for all five hostile keys, each with its own leading comment. Finding 4 (MAJOR): escapeDoubleQuotedScalar's docstring falsely claimed full byte-stability across the migration. Verified by execution: BEL/NUL/ NEL/NBSP/LS/PS/BOM now emit YAML-named escapes instead of the old hex/raw- literal forms. Proved round-trip equivalence (each escape re-parses to the exact source codepoint) and corrected the docstring. Found and fixed a related real defect while verifying: a lone UTF-16 surrogate was emitted BARE (scalarNeedsDoubleQuoting didn't trigger), producing genuinely unparseable YAML that silently collapsed to {} on re-read — extended scalarNeedsDoubleQuoting to route surrogates through the quoted+escaped path. Finding 5 (MAJOR): countKeysBeforeTruncation went silent on 4 real truncation shapes (unquoted colon, open flow collection, mis-indented sibling key, refused anchor). Root cause: the mark-based prefix recovery excluded the very line whose key needed counting, and a mark-less refusal never entered the recovery branch at all. Fixed by taking the max of two lower bounds: the longest parser-verified line-prefix, and a raw-text count of key-shaped lines (reusing the same key-shape pattern this file already uses for isFrontmatterShaped). Extended test-matrix row A5 table-driven over all 4 regressed shapes. Finding 6: the design doc's claim that no test owned the #3594 adversarial fixture corpus was false — consolidation epic #1969 had already folded it into tests/frontmatter.test.cjs. An earlier commit on this branch re-created a standalone duplicate under that false premise; folded its genuinely-new coverage (fixture-ownership check, anchor-bomb fixtures, block-scalar B1/B2 rows) into frontmatter.test.cjs and deleted the duplicate file. Corrected the false claims in 40-design.md §3.3.1 and the ADR's §8.1 note, including the roadmap-sibling claim (no such file exists). Finding 7: the golden serializer sorted object keys, making it structurally blind to the key-order-parity invariant ADR-3473 §8.1 actually claims. Made it order-preserving and regenerated the golden fixture from a standalone compile of the legacy (pre-#3881) parser at ddde001af; the current parser matches it with zero undocumented divergences, confirming key-order parity genuinely holds. Extended row A2 table-driven across 6 of the remaining 7 transitionCore kinds (all pass) plus documented, by execution, a newly-discovered 8th-site regression: state.cts's cmdStateCompletePhase calls the same preservation helper but its result is clobbered by a later unconditional resync — filed as a distinct finding rather than fixed here (touches syncAndPreserveStateMd, outside this change's verified scope). Refs #3881 * fix(#3881): preserve unparseable frontmatter through the CLI write path Characterization (executed, before/after shown): case (b), not (a). The frontmatter FENCE survives — `state complete-phase` on a conflict-marked STATE.md returns success and a well-formed, freshly-derived frontmatter block, not a document with no frontmatter at all. But the block's actual content (the merge-conflict markers, and with them any signal to a human that the document was in conflict) is silently discarded and replaced. Root cause was two clobber sites, not one: 1. syncStateFrontmatter (src/state.cts) re-parses the already-preserved `transformedContent` from readModifyWriteStateMd, finds {} + the FRONTMATTER_UNPARSEABLE marker, and unconditionally rebuilt a fresh frontmatter block from the body anyway. 2. Even after (1) is fixed, applyPostSyncPreservation's own postFm/applyStatePreservation/authoritativeFm-reassertion machinery re-extracts frontmatter from syncedContent, restores curated fields from the pre-write snapshot, and reconstructs a NEW block again — confirmed live via `state begin-phase`, which still lost the markers after fixing (1) alone. Both are now guarded by the same predicate (isUnparseableFrontmatter, checking FRONTMATTER_UNPARSEABLE): when the ORIGINAL frontmatter did not parse and the caller is not on ADR-3408 §8.3's closed "body wins" list, both functions return their input content unchanged rather than re-deriving over it. The closed list (cmdStateSync #905, /gsd-health --repair's REGENERATE_STATE, both routed only through writeStateMd, which never reaches applyPostSyncPreservation and passes sanctionedPermanentEmptyFallback=true to syncStateFrontmatter) is untouched — neither widened nor narrowed; verified by execution that `state sync` still overwrites the conflict-marked block exactly as before. Other verbs sharing the same readModifyWriteStateMd path were checked and were equally affected before this fix: state update, query state.patch, and state begin-phase all lost the conflict markers (RED, shown by execution), and all three now preserve them (GREEN). Covered table-driven in tests/feat-3881-yaml-parser-consequences.test.cjs's new A2b describe block, which drives the real CLI verbs via runGsdTools — not just the pure transitionCore layer the earlier A2 rows exercised — plus a control asserting state sync's body-wins contract is unchanged. Refs #3881 * fix(#3881): restore the parse surface's prototype and fix remote-runner failures Root cause of the bulk of the 88 remote-runner failures: extractFrontmatter/parseGuardedYamlRegion handed back Object.create(null) trees for prototype-pollution safety, but assert.deepStrictEqual compares prototypes, so every assertion against a plain object literal failed (57 frontmatter.unit.test.cjs + 5 frontmatter.test.cjs + others). Fixed by keeping the internal construction null-prototype (unchanged) and converting to a plain-prototype tree via Object.defineProperty (never bracket assignment, so __proto__/constructor/toString keys stay safe) at the parseGuardedYamlRegion/unparseableResult return boundary only; the internal FULL_LINE_COMMENTS Symbol channel is copied by reference, not recursed, so its own __proto__-safety is untouched. Per-class fixes: (1) bomAcrossArtifactTypes was the same prototype bug, no separate code change needed. (2) frontmatter-cli #1660: added objectListFieldWouldLoseData, a broader lossy-field detector alongside the existing byte-identical noOpObjectListSetError -- js-yaml's flattenObjectListItem now correctly includes every sub-key of an object-list item (a real bug fix over the legacy scanner, which silently dropped every field but the first), so a set that drops that now-included data is no longer byte-identical to the original and needs its own guard. (3) uat.test.cjs: updated the pinned expectation for the human_verification quote-stripping artifact -- js-yaml resolves quoting correctly where the legacy regex left an unbalanced quote; documented as an intentional, non-lossy behavior change. (4) smart-entry: added a fallback-only loadWithAmbiguousColonRepair so a column-0 key: value line whose value itself contains an unquoted colon (the #2571 hand-edited-STATE.md shape) round-trips instead of failing the whole frontmatter block closed. (5) frontmatter.unit.test.cjs bracket-array leniency: added a second fallback, repairMalformedInlineArrays, restoring the legacy scanner's tolerant inline-array handling (consecutive/blank commas, unclosed bracket) -- both repairs run ONLY after the primary parse already threw, so well-formed documents are unaffected. (6) prompt-injection-scan: src/frontmatter.cts had a literal U+FEFF BOM embedded in a comment illustrating the #2977 fix; replaced with the U+FEFF text escape. (7) eslint-glob-coverage: allowlisted the new src/vendor/js-yaml.d.cts vendored type declaration, same precedent as the existing re2js.d.cts entry. (8) frontmatter-golden-parity: git ls-files *.md now runs with -c safe.directory=* (process-scoped) so it survives the remote runner's dubious-ownership check without a persistent git config write. Refs #3881 * chore(#3881): backfill changeset PR number Refs #3881 * test(#3881): make golden parity resistant to unrelated tree churn A corpus-wide snapshot keyed to every tracked *.md file was coupled to mutable-by-design files: .changeset/*.md's pr:0 -> real-PR-number backfill is a required workflow step, not a parser change, yet it turned this suite red. Training people to 'just regenerate the golden' on that kind of failure defeats the point of the snapshot. Exclude .changeset/** from the golden corpus entirely, tolerate tracked *.md files with no golden entry (they postdate the capture) instead of failing on them, keep hard failures for a golden entry whose file has vanished from the tree and for any real parity divergence, and add a coverage floor so the enumeration cannot quietly degrade to comparing a handful of files. Golden regenerated by recompiling the legacy pre-migration parser (git show ddde001af:src/frontmatter.cts) standalone, independent of the current parser, over the same non-changeset corpus. Refs #3881 * test(#3881): make the parser golden hermetic instead of tree-keyed This repo merges ~21 commits/day; a 14-day sample measured 937 touches of the exact files (commands/gsd/*.md, gsd-core/workflows/*.md, agents/*.md, docs/*.md) the prior golden pinned by tracked path. Any PR editing one of those files' frontmatter for reasons unrelated to the parser (an argument-hint addition, an allowed-tools tweak) turned the suite red, and the reflex fix -- "regenerate the golden" -- overwrote the very snapshot meant to catch a real regression. Excluding .changeset/** was not enough; the design itself was wrong: a regression fixture must not be keyed to mutable repo paths, and a single 376-entry JSON every such PR touches is also a guaranteed merge-conflict surface. Rebuilt the fixture to carry its own documents: each of 51 entries stores a stable id, literal documentText (shrunk from a real ddde001af-era corpus document), and an expectedParse captured independently from the pre-migration legacy parser (git show ddde001af:src/frontmatter.cts, compiled standalone against its byte-identical sibling modules). The test reads no tracked path, shells out to no git command, and enumerates no tree -- a PR editing commands/gsd/help.md cannot affect it. Every entry's reconstruction was verified at capture time to reproduce both the current and legacy parser's output on the original document; 0 of 51 candidates were dropped by that check (1, the deliberately-unterminated unclosed-block.md adversarial fixture, has no closing fence to truncate at and is stored unshrunk). Kept the 5 documented DIVERGENCES rows (now diverges:true entries) and the D2 order-preserving structural serializer that keeps the comparison from passing vacuously; dropped the tree-enumeration helpers, the coverage floor, the post-capture-skip logic, and the vanished-file check -- all artifacts of the path-keyed design. Refs #3881 * fix(#3881): resolve vendored-deps paths independently of cwd shape Five rows in tests/lint-vendored-deps-manifest.test.cjs failed on windows-latest CI: the test passed absolute scratch-file paths into compareFiles()/checkRow(), whose helpers joined every input onto ROOT via path.join(ROOT, rel), producing garbage when the input was already absolute. It surfaced on windows-latest specifically because GitHub's Windows runners checkout the repo on a different drive than TEMP, so path.relative(REPO_ROOT, tmpFile) returned the absolute path unchanged (no relative traversal is representable across drives) rather than the relative form the test assumed. The remote gsd-test runner this repo gates pushes on is Linux-only and could never have caught this; GitHub CI's windows-latest job is the only signal that does, and it did. Fixed the helper itself (scripts/lint-vendored-deps.cjs's new resolvePath()) to treat an already-absolute input as absolute-in, absolute-out instead of silently mis-joining it, and updated the test to pass the scratch file's absolute path directly rather than relying on a relative conversion that is not always representable. Kept every mutation-sensor assertion intact and added coverage proving resolvePath is a no-op for relative inputs and correctly passes absolute ones through unchanged. Refs #3881 * fix(#3881): warn when state sync regenerates over unparseable frontmatter state sync (ADR-3408 §8.3's sanctioned regenerate path) correctly overwrites an unparseable frontmatter block per its 'body wins' contract — that overwrite behavior is unchanged here. The defect was the silence: synced:true/exit 0 gave no signal that the existing block (including git merge-conflict markers) could not be parsed and was destroyed, per ADR-3473 §8.5 ('a derived conclusion may not be reported as authoritative when the derivation dropped input it could not resolve') and §8.4 ('failure is a value'). Adds a gsd: warning — ... (#3881) line on stderr, matching the existing #3573 precedent, and surfaces the same disclosure in the JSON result's existing changes[] array so a machine consumer sees it too. Exit code and synced:true are left unchanged — sync did what its contract says. REGENERATE_STATE (/gsd-health --repair's sibling on the same sanctioned-regenerate list) is DESTRUCTIVE-risk and unconditionally refused by applyRepairs's dispatcher before runRepairAction ever runs (src/health-diagnostic.cts), so it is not a live path today and is not in scope for this fix. Refs #3881 * fix(#3881): exit non-zero when a state command returns an error Refs #3881 * chore(#3881): changeset for the state exit-code fix Refs #3881 * fix(#3881): honor the documented --project-dir flag Refs #3881 * revert(#3881): restore exit-0 result envelopes for state errors Reverts 9638f2936 and its changeset. The change was wrong and the revert is the correction. This repo distinguishes two error mechanisms deliberately. error() in src/io.cts writes to stderr and calls process.exit(1) -- the hard-failure path. output({error: ...}) writes a JSON result envelope to stdout and returns normally with exit 0. The reverted commit converted 23 result-envelope sites into hard failures, which is a different contract, not a bug fix. tests/state-contract.test.cjs's errorPathDoesNotPublish asserts the envelope contract directly -- a failing command exits 0 with a JSON error envelope and must not publish state.json -- and the remote matrix run caught it along with four cases in the QA scenario walk. Thirteen tests in tests/state.test.cjs that the original commit rewrote were encoding that real contract, not the bug it claimed; they are restored. Whether an error envelope on stdout with exit 0 is the right CLI design is a genuine question, and it is section 8.4's rule ('failure is a value') with its own phase. It is not something to flip inside this PR. Refs #3881 * chore(#3881): backfill changeset PR number for the project-dir fix Refs #3881 * test(#3881): keep the frontmatter mutation shard inside its time budget The Stryker (frontmatter) shard hit the documented 15-minute (900s) shard cap. Root cause is NOT row-level spawn overhead (contrast the #2790/ core-utils precedent): the three shard test files' own logic runs in ~413ms total (356+30+27ms) with all 392 assertions passing. Instead, src/frontmatter.cts grew from ~825 to 1496 lines (+671/-187) migrating to the vendored YAML parser, proportionally growing the mutant count Stryker generates for gsd-core/bin/lib/frontmatter.cjs. Stryker's command runner bills the full 'node --test <3 files>' invocation once per mutant, and node:test's default per-file process isolation forks a child process for each of the three files on every one of those invocations — pure fork overhead multiplied by a much larger mutant population. Fix: scripts/mutation-matrix.cjs COVERED.frontmatter now declares isolation: 'none', and .github/workflows/mutation.yml passes --test-isolation=${{ matrix.isolation }} (defaulting to 'process' — i.e. unchanged behavior — for the other 8 shards, which were not individually audited for cross-file state leakage under shared-process execution). Measured locally via node:test's run() API on the exact 3-file set: isolation:'process' took ~593ms vs isolation:'none' ~478ms for the same 392 passing assertions. The true CI-shard number can only be confirmed on the GitHub Actions run (Stryker cannot run locally, and 'node --test' is hard-blocked in this environment). Refs #3881 * test(#3881): register the vendored-parser tests in the frontmatter mutation shard stryker.config.mjs's own rule ("Keep this list in sync with the tests arrays in scripts/mutation-matrix.cjs COVERED") was violated: #3881 grew src/frontmatter.cts from ~825 to 1496 lines but its new tests (tests/feat-3881-yaml-parser-consequences.test.cjs, tests/frontmatter-golden-parity.test.cjs, tests/frontmatter-roundtrip.property.test.cjs, and +167 lines in tests/frontmatter.test.cjs) were never added to the frontmatter shard's tests array, so Stryker's mutants in the new vendored-js-yaml adapter had nothing constraining them. PR #3888 measured 55.8% against the 65 floor (748 killed / 593 survived / 17 timeout) and the shard was separately cancelled at 15m04s against the 15-minute per-shard cap. Registers all four files (each earns its slot on evidence of a unique constraining assertion, documented inline), gives the shard a measured/projected 180-minute budget via a new per-module timeoutMinutes field threaded through mutation.yml's job-level timeout-minutes the same way isolation is threaded, and removes the prior isolation:'none' override (re-measured at this file-set size, its savings are within run-to-run noise, not worth the unaudited cross-file-state-leakage risk). Refs #3881 * feat(#3881): derive the mutation test list and ratchet the score floor Refs #3881 * test(#3881): ratchet five stale mutation floors and close the frontmatter gap Raised five module minScore floors per CI run 33012034388 (floor(achieved)-1): config-schema 75.51%->74, prompt-budget 88.95%->87, context-composer 79.92%->78, context-utilization 92.31%->91, active-workstream-store 87.42%->86. Updated both scripts/mutation-matrix.cjs COVERED entries and tests/mutation-matrix-ratchet.test.cjs RATCHET_BASELINE in the same diff per the ratchet's own contract. Closed the frontmatter shard's 63.03%-vs-65 gap with new behavioral tests in tests/feat-3881-yaml-parser-consequences.test.cjs, each paired with a documented near-miss: frontmatterDeepEqual's array-order/length/type-mismatch/key-order semantics (via spliceFrontmatter's no-op guard), scalarNeedsDoubleQuoting's leading/trailing-whitespace and dash/surrogate triggers (via reconstructFrontmatter), repairAmbiguousColonValues' already-quoted vs ambiguous-colon repair paths (via extractFrontmatter), and the null-byte sentinel round-trip surviving at region offset 1. Did not lower minScore. Refs #3881 * test(#3881): decouple the ratchet test from real module floors The CLI end-to-end rows in tests/mutation-score-ratchet.test.cjs hardcoded config-schema's real floor (52), which commit 973321541 legitimately ratcheted to 74 -- breaking a test pinned to the exact value the mechanism under test exists to change. Add an injectable --matrix seam to scripts/check-mutation-score-ratchet.cjs and point the CLI rows at a synthetic module + synthetic floor built via a temp fixture, so the rows are indifferent to any real module's floor moving while still exercising the same fail/pass behaviour. Refs #3881 * refactor(#3881): parse must_haves with the vendored parser and drop re-implemented leniency Refs #3881 * fix(#3881): restore the ambiguous-colon repair its hand-edited-STATE.md contract needs A tracked-document sweep of 910 *.md files cannot see this dependent: repairAmbiguousColonValues's one real caller is user hand-edited STATE.md content that never lives in this repo's tree, only on end users' machines, and is pinned by tests/smart-entry.unit.test.cjs. Restores the function plus its post-throw fallback path (loadWithAmbiguousColonRepair) only; repairMalformedInlineArrays and splitLegacyInlineArrayItems stay deleted, reverified against the full frontmatter test shard. Adds a frontmatter-level regression row in tests/feat-3881-yaml-parser-consequences.test.cjs so the dependency is visible where the function lives.

Tom Boucher	a638ca4332	enhance(#3882): stop sentinel phases skewing estimation calibration (#3893) ... * test(#3882): failing-first rows for sentinel phases skewing calibration Adds A1a/A1b/A2/A3 to tests/estimate-calibrate.test.cjs, the module's existing test file, rather than a new bug-NNNN file. collectCalibrationSamples (src/estimate-cli.cts:206) does a raw readdirSync over .planning/phases and never applies isSentinelPhaseId, so a sentinel phase (milestone 0 or 999) carrying a PLAN estimate / SUMMARY actuals pair contributes a phantom calibration sample. computeCalibration is median-based, so a single 50x outlier among three samples leaves the factor unmoved — asserting "the factor is unchanged" against one sentinel would pass on the broken code for the wrong reason. Each row instead asserts the WHOLE computed CalibrationResult object (factor, applied, confidence, sampleCount, clamped) for a sentinel-free project against its sentinel-injected twin: - A1a: one sentinel flips applied false->true and confidence low->med on phantom evidence (calibration switches on with zero real signal). - A1b: two sentinels corrupt the factor itself (1 -> 3, clamped false->true). - A2: the sentinel's own sample is verified absent from the returned list. - A3: the two genuine phases still contribute their own unchanged samples (regression pin — stops A1/A2 passing by filtering everything). Verified RED on today's code (node tests/estimate-calibrate.test.cjs): A1a/A1b/A2 fail with the exact differing objects; A3 and all pre-existing rows in the file remain green (no collateral). Refs #3882 * feat(#3882): route phase enumeration through its owner and name the sentinel axis Task 1: collectCalibrationSamples (src/estimate-cli.cts) hand-rolled a raw readdirSync over .planning/phases, treating every directory (including sentinel phases, milestone 0/999) as a completed phase and feeding phantom PLAN/SUMMARY samples into the estimation calibration factor. Routed through the existing owner, listMilestonePhaseDirs(phasesRoot) with no cwd -- already 'all milestones, sentinels excluded', exactly the combination this caller needs; no new API was required for this half. It now also surfaces the scope discriminator: an unreadable phases directory throws PhasesUnreadableError instead of silently returning zero samples, and cmdEstimateCalibrate reports it via a new ERROR_REASON.ESTIMATE_PHASES_UNREADABLE instead of persisting a phantom empty calibration document. Task 2: added listAllPhaseDirs(phasesDir, { includeSentinels }) to src/phase-locator.cts -- the one genuinely missing axis: 'physical set, sentinels INCLUDED'. includeSentinels has no default and is required, so a call site cannot obtain sentinel-inclusion by omission (compile-time refusal, not just documentation). Mirrors listMilestonePhaseDirs's absent/unreadable scope handling. Task 3: migrated the two exemptions whose written reason maps cleanly onto 'physical set, sentinels included' -- cmdRoadmapAnalyze's _phaseDirNames (src/roadmap.cts) and cmdInitMilestoneOp's diskPhaseDirs (src/init.cts), both heading->directory lookup indexes. Left the rest: archivePhaseDirectories's own body has no readdirSync to migrate (its callers already resolve dirs before calling it, and both current callers deliberately EXCLUDE sentinels -- migrating it would be an unauthorized behavior change, not an API swap); cmdValidateHealth's exemption is vestigial (its actual physical-set sweep already lives in planning-snapshot.cts's buildAllPhaseDirNamesField, a pre-existing near-duplicate of the new axis, flagged as a finding, not restructured); cmdPhasesClear/cmdMilestoneComplete/cmdVerifySchemaDrift/detectHasPriorPhases/detectUiPhaseActive want a different combination (sentinels excluded, or a single-phase lookup) and are unaffected. Task 4: detector 2 (sentinel literal) is untouched and retained. Removed exemption entries only for the two migrated call sites; every other function-scoped exemption is preserved. Guard exits 0. Refs #3882 * refactor(#3882): delegate the snapshot phase-dir scan to its owner buildAllPhaseDirNamesField duplicated listAllPhaseDirs's own readdirSync + directory-filter + absent/unreadable handling — the 'one implementation per rule' defect ADR-3473 SS8.3 names, introduced by this branch's own #3882 work. Delegate to listAllPhaseDirs and re-apply the field's existing lexicographic sort on top, since W007's observable order must not change. Refs #3882 * docs(#3882): document the sentinel axis and the enumeration consolidation Records listAllPhaseDirs in the Phase Locator glossary entry, and the fact that the owner already answers the all-milestones sentinel-free question when called without a cwd -- the call collectCalibrationSamples was missing.

Tom Boucher	ddde001af6	enhance(#3873): the STATE.md schema — one owner, generated artifacts (#3880) ... * test(#3873): failing-first locale parity, plus tripwires for what must not move Pins ADR-3473 §8.8 at the artifact a reader actually sees. The English STATE.md reference carries a Status lifecycle section that is missing from all four translations — the section documenting the status enum whose clobbering is #3853. The test derives the heading set rather than hard-coding the missing one, and names the locale and the heading when it fails. Two tripwires that must pass today and after. The field-drift guard still catches a re-derived fallback ladder: §8.8 instructs deleting that script, and that instruction rests on a wrong premise about what it guards, so the test stops a future reader from deleting it on the ADR's word. And last_activity's label resolution is pinned to what ships today, because it is declared in one of the two tables this phase consolidates and not the other — the consolidation must not silently pick a side. The locale test buckets under docs rather than state, which is what it tests; that bucket is allowlisted with justification rather than folded into an unrelated docs suite. It reads only markdown, so it carries no allow-test-rule marker — a marker there would suppress nothing and would grow the unverified pool against its ceiling. Refs #3873 * feat(#3873): one schema owns the STATE.md key set, three tables become projections ADR-3473 §8.8. The key set was declared in four places that had to agree by hand and already did not: FIELD_CLASSIFICATION, FRONTMATTER_BODY_SOURCE, FRONTMATTER_KEY_TO_BODY_LABEL and buildStateFrontmatter's emit behavior. One frozen null-prototype schema now declares each key's type, enum, cardinality, source, preservation, body source, body label, accepted parse shapes and whether it is emitted unconditionally; the three tables are derived from it at module load. The projections are byte-identical to the literals they replace, key order included, and the parity tests compare against verbatim copies of today's tables rather than re-deriving both sides from the schema — a parity test fed from one source proves nothing, which is how a consolidation ships a changed policy under a green test. last_activity was the live disagreement: present in one table, absent from the other. The schema declares what ships today rather than the tidier answer, and a test pins it. The schema is a leaf module and owns the four field-policy types, re-exported from state-transition so existing importers are untouched — the same split health-diagnostic-types made to break a CJS require cycle. Refs #3873 * feat(#3873): generate the schema-derived regions, parity-check the prose tables ADR-3473 §8.8's generator half. gen-state-md-docs.cjs owns marked regions in the shipped template and all five reference docs, follows gen-features.cjs's fail-closed contract, and is wired into regen:derived and lint:generated-sync. The Status lifecycle section was missing from all four translations — the section documenting the status enum behind #3853 — and is now generated into every locale. Field cardinality is a new generated table: pure schema data, no prose, so nothing to lose. The Field-reference and Status-values tables are parity-CHECKED rather than generated. Their Purpose, When-populated and Matched-text columns are genuinely hand-translated per locale, and §8.8 itself says prose stays hand-translated; generating them from an English registry would overwrite four locales' translations on every write. The row set is checked against the schema instead, so a key added to one and not the other fails, which is what field drift actually means. Building that check found last_activity_desc undocumented in all five tables. Three keys the docs describe are absent from the schema — active_phase, next_action, next_phases. They are grandfathered by name, not by wildcard, so a fourth fails: a declared gap with a forcing function rather than a silent one. Refs #3873 * fix(#3873): declare what the parsers do, and close the shape-parity gap Two declarations in the new schema described intended behavior rather than actual — the defect class this epic exists to end, committed inside the epic. Both were caught by executing the parsers instead of reading their docstrings. current_plan.acceptedShapes claimed ['N', 'N of M']. Standalone, the hybrid shape errors; the path that looks like support is parseInt truncating '2 of 5' to 2 and discarding the rest. Narrowed to ['N']. The parser is deliberately NOT fixed here: that is #3784 and PR #3791 is already doing it. When #3791 lands this row must widen, and the shape test will go red until it does — the schema and the parser cannot drift apart quietly, which is what §8.8's checked-not- generated rule is for. STATUS_LIFECYCLE_ENUM claimed to be the closed set status can hold. normalizeStateStatus passes unrecognized prose through unchanged, so it is not closed at runtime. The seven members are the canonical values it maps onto; the docstring now says that and the test asserts the real lenient contract. Closes the acceptance item that a test asserts the parsers accept exactly the declared shapes: the check is table-driven over every row carrying acceptedShapes, guarded against passing vacuously on an empty set, and fails loudly if a future row has no registered driver. Adds the unwired-label throw and the fast-check property that every projection agrees with its schema row. Refs #3873 * fix(#3873): keep the shipped template's frontmatter first, and make row 27 able to fail The remote matrix caught 12 failures with one cause. Making the template's frontmatter a generated region wrapped it in its own yaml fence ahead of the markdown fence, so extractFileTemplate and readShippedStateTemplateBody — which both match the single markdown block — found the heading first, not the frontmatter. That breaks the contract every new project's STATE.md is created from: bug #21 and epic #1969 B8 pin that the File Template block starts with frontmatter and carries gsd_state_version. The markers now sit inside the single markdown fence, so the fence opens before the frontmatter and the region still ends ahead of the heading. Same layout as before this phase, with markers embedded rather than a second fence. Row 27 existed to catch exactly this and did not, because it was writer-seeded: it asserted against the generator's own output shape, so it passed on the broken template. It now parses the fence the way production does and was verified to fail against the broken shape before being trusted against the fixed one. A test that would not have caught the bug it exists to prevent is worse than no test. The emitted-attribution failure was separate and the fragment was the wrong remedy: gsd-core/templates/state.md self-attributes under a verbatim-copy identity rule, so a diff touching it needs no acknowledgment. Fragment deleted rather than left explaining nothing. Refs #3873 * docs(#3873): how to change the STATE.md schema The phase gate was right and my docs artifact was wrong. I listed lint:generated-sync as the second enablement step, which is a verification command dressed as one, and then claimed a one-step sequence owed no how-to. The real sequence is build:lib then regen:derived, and the ordering is a trap: the generator reads the COMPILED schema, so regenerating before building regenerates against the previous schema and commits artifacts that look plausible while disagreeing with the code just written. A reference table cannot carry an ordering dependency; that is what the how-to test is for. The page covers adding, changing and removing a key, every reason code the check emits and what to do about each, what is generated versus hand-translated and why the two prose-bearing tables are parity-checked instead of generated, adding a language, and the three grandfathered keys.

The condition is evaluated dynamically at merge time and remediated statically at branch time; on a moving branch the second can never reliably satisfy the first. - delete tests/emitted-drift-acks/3809-* and 3866-* (3034-* and 3172-* stay -- the #3842 open-PR hold correctly defers them) - runGuardNext returns `sweepable`, the set the guard actually reasoned about, plus `legacyPresent` for the legacy document, which is a fixed path rather than a fragment basename and would otherwise be invisible to any sweeper - new --sweep-plan mode turns the guard into a work list: plan on stdout, prose on stderr, exit 0 so a non-empty plan does not fail the step that asked for it - main() is injectable in BOTH lanes; a half-injected seam lets a test that passes cwd silently read the real repository instead of its fixture - ack-fragment-sweep.yml derives its deletion list from that plan on a timer and opens a reviewable PR, so the sweep can no longer go stale between branch and merge Hardening found in review, each verified against a live reproduction: - git rm reads its arguments as PATHSPECS with wildmatch semantics, so a fragment named a bare-star .json name -- legal, and admitted by listFragmentFiles since it filters only on the suffix -- expanded to every fragment in the directory, including ones the #3842 hold withheld. Confirmed in a scratch repo: one such file deleted all three. Closed with a literal allowlist and a :(literal) pathspec, two independent layers. - an apostrophe inside a heredoc nested in a command substitution is an unterminated quote and a hard syntax error at runtime, not just under bash -n. - an empty plan no longer reports success unconditionally: the guard is re-run without the hold to tell "next is clean" from "everything is held", the commonest holder being the sweep PR from the previous run, which touches exactly the fragments it proposed to delete. - a branch pushed by a run that died before it could open the PR wedged every later run on a non-fast-forward push; re-pointed under a lease instead. - a guard crash in plan mode no longer reads as "nothing to sweep".

Tom Boucher	1863f5569c	enhance(#3871): the state transaction — mandatory snapshot, open()/rebuild() (#3874) ... * test(#3871): failing-first regressions for the dropped curated progress block Pins ADR-3473 §8.6 / #3756 at the consumer's output: state record-session and state add-decision on an archived-milestone project drop the curated progress frontmatter entirely, exit 0, and report nothing. Reproduced against the real CLI before writing the tests, not inferred from the issue text. Also adds the unit-level probe that applyStatePreservation's preserve-always row is inert on a resyncing write, and an over-preservation guard that an empty project is never inflated. Refs #3871 * feat(#3871): make the STATE.md pre-write snapshot mandatory via open()/rebuild() ADR-3473 §8.6. StatePreservationInput's nullable preFm and the always-present preFmSnapshot were the same extractFrontmatter call, one of them nulled on resync — a policy flag baked into a snapshot. Both collapse into a single StateTransaction whose snapshot cannot be absent: openStateTransaction() applies preservation, rebuildStateTransaction() does not, and both carry the snapshot because the reporting phase needs it either way. An absent snapshot is now a construction failure; an empty one stays legal, because that is what a document with no parseable frontmatter honestly has. writeStateMd requires a rebuild transaction, which types ADR-3408 §8.3's closed exception list at both call sites (state sync, health --repair) instead of matching them as strings in a ratcheted baseline. Fixes the dropped curated progress block: an all-zero or absent derived total set is an unmeasured scan, not a measurement, so the curated block stands. Also fixes two defects surfaced while building — preserve-always reported a mutation even when it restored an identical value, and it re-entered the curated object by reference, which would alias the snapshot the next phase diffs against. Refs #3871 * fix(#3871): close the three remaining subsumed defects and restore the arm the type does not replace Review of the first two commits found four things. The guard shrink deleted the seam-bypass axis whole, but only its writeStateMd( arm became redundant. Its other arm catches a call site re-assembling syncStateFrontmatter + applyPostSyncPreservation instead of the owned composition, which the transaction type does not make unrepresentable and which #3469 found live. Restored as findCompositionBypasses, terminal rather than ratcheted. Three of the four issues this phase claims were untouched. All three are the epic's own shape and are fixed at the seam: current_phase_name is reasserted from the curated value when the caller names none, and cmdStateJson stops carrying a hand-maintained list parallel to FIELD_CLASSIFICATION and projects it instead. The construction failure that is the point of this phase had no test. Every enumerated matrix row now has one, including the measured-versus-unmeasured coercion boundary and a seeded property that no curated key is ever dropped. ADR-3473 §8.6 said the guard 'keeps only its raw-write check'. Verified against next: there was no raw-write check, and four other checks it does not name. Amended in place with the evidence. ARCHITECTURE.md separately advertised a preservation policy the code had deleted. Refs #3871 * fix(#3871): do not let the unmeasured-scan rule block an explicitly-requested resync The remote matrix caught over-preservation, the failure this phase's own negative space says must not happen. state update Progress re-derives the block from the body the caller just rewrote; on a project with no phase dirs the derivation yields zero totals, the unmeasured rule read that as 'the scan measured nothing', and the stale curated percent was restored over the resync the user asked for. preserve-always already said what the missing condition was: never overwrite unless the caller explicitly names this field. explicitProgressField carries it and is derived from shouldResyncStateProgress, not set by hand at a call site, so it cannot drift from what the caller asked for. Two defects found in the same mechanism and fixed with it. readModifyWriteStateMd enumerates its option keys, so a new option was silently dropped rather than rejected. And the raw-write axis captured its first argument up to the first comma, which lands inside a nested path.join, so a write to a STATE.md literal was invisible to it — the prove-it-can-fail test caught that one immediately. No test assertion was weakened; all three frontmatter rows encode #3242, #1969 B3 and #1972 and stand unchanged. Refs #3871 * docs(#3871): record why the raw-write check is kept, not why it was named The amendment justified findRawStateWrites as 'written because §8.6 requires it to exist', which is cargo-culting the contract and would have been the wrong reason to keep anything. The real reason is that writeStateMd acquires the STATE.md lockfile and a raw fs.writeFileSync acquires nothing, so this is a lock bypass and lost-update is the #500/#905/#1230 family — and after this phase it is the one reachable path into the file that nothing else covers. Also records why ADR-3408 §8.6's deletion of the 'clear' policy is not the precedent it looks like: 'clear' was dead vocabulary in a closed enum, this is coverage of a reachable path.

Tom Boucher	382bf7c423	fix(#3706): deliver the resolved reasoning effort to OpenCode subagents (#3867) ... * test(#3706): failing-first coverage for OpenCode variant emission and frontmatter escaping * fix(#3706): emit the resolved reasoning effort as OpenCode's variant key `query resolve-execution` resolved an effort level for every agent, but the OpenCode bake wrote only `model:` — the effort never reached the generated agent, so subagents ran at whatever the runtime defaulted the model to. This is the effort-side twin of the model-side defect fixed in #3705. The key is written only when an `effort` block is actually configured. `resolveInstallTimeEffort` always returns a level (the catalog default is `high`), so gating on its return value would stamp `variant: high` into every existing OpenCode install — and OpenCode resolves a variant name against a `variants` map in the user's `opencode.jsonc`, so a value nobody declared is not a safe default. Gating on `readGsdEffectiveEffortConfig` keeps installs that never asked for effort routing byte-identical. Kilo does not receive the key: `EFFORT_ARGV` declares surfaces for claude, opencode and codex and has no kilo entry. This is deliberately asymmetric with the model side, where #2794 J8 requires the two runtimes to resolve alike. Both frontmatter sinks now route through `frontmatterScalar`, which quotes and escapes any value that is not a plain scalar. The raw interpolation predates this change, but it was already shown by execution during the #3705 security review to let a config value containing a newline inject additional top-level keys (`tools:`, `permission:`) into a generated agent file. This change adds a second write to that sink, so it is closed here rather than doubled. * fix(#3706): quote frontmatter values YAML would not read back verbatim Self-review of the predicate added in the previous commit. Treating /^[A-Za-z0-9._:/@+-]+$/ as 'safe to emit bare' answers the wrong question: a value can match it and still not round-trip. - A leading '@' is a YAML *reserved* indicator and may not open a plain scalar at all, so a scoped ID like '@org/model' emitted bare is a parse error, not an ambiguity — the whole agent file becomes unreadable. - 'no' / 'y' / 'off' / 'null' resolve to booleans and null, so a variant with one of those names would match no entry in the user's variants map. - '12:30' resolves to 750 under YAML 1.1 sexagesimal, and ':' is legal mid-identifier here, so the form is reachable rather than contrived. Real model IDs pass every clause and stay bare, so already-generated files remain byte-identical. * fix(#3706): route variant through the declared effort seam and cover the live path Addresses six findings from the isolated review, all confirmed by execution. The tests were the serious one: they required `../bin/install.js` while the fix landed in src/, which compiles to gsd-core/bin/lib/. They exercised a different copy of the converter than the one the bake actually uses, so the whole suite was green-by-construction against unchanged code and the remote run failed all 13. Every case now runs against BOTH copies from one table, which doubles as the parity assertion the generative-fix note in runtime-artifact-conversion.cts asks for, and bin/install.js carries the mirrored change. Emission no longer hand-rolls the value. It goes through `renderEffortArgv`, the declared OpenCode effort seam (EFFORT_ARGV.opencode: its own supported set and clamp). That is what rejects a level that is not a wire value — above all `inherit`, which per #3533 (10d) means "omit the key and follow the host default" and was previously written literally, naming a variant that cannot resolve. Reachable two ways, both now pinned: an agent_overrides entry and a routing_tier_defaults entry. A bare effort.default does NOT reach a tiered agent (the #3531 tier ladder answers first), so a test written against `default` alone asserts nothing — that is pinned too. The plain-scalar decision moved into frontmatter.cts beside `scalarNeedsDoubleQuoting` rather than sitting next to it as a second, weaker predicate. `agentScalarNeedsDoubleQuoting` is a documented superset: it adds a trailing `:` (read as a nested mapping key, which fails the whole frontmatter), boolean/null words, and numeric-looking values including YAML 1.1 sexagesimal. Docs now state the cascade plainly: the gate is on effort being configured at all, not on the individual agent being named, so every generated OpenCode agent gets a variant line once any effort block exists. * test(#3706): assert the two frontmatterScalar copies cannot diverge A hand-picked adversarial corpus plus a fast-check property over YAML-significant strings, both run against bin/install.js and the live src copy. Verified the property can actually fail: mutating one copy's quoting rule is killed well inside the run budget. * fix(#3706): close the review findings — predicate, seam, and dead mirror Third review round; every item below was confirmed by execution. The scalar predicate was wrong in two families, both found by a round-trip property test rather than by reading. Basing it on scalarNeedsDoubleQuoting dropped the "first character must be alphanumeric" clause, so `~`, `.inf`, `.nan`, `+1`, `-0` and `.5` went out bare and came back as null/floats/ints; and that base predicate only inspects the FIRST character, so an embedded `: ` (a nested mapping, i.e. a parse error) or ` #` (a comment, i.e. silent truncation) also passed. Dates round out the set: `2026-08-25` opens alphanumeric, survives every other clause, and YAML resolves it to a Date. The property now asserts the contract directly over generated values instead of trusting an enumerated character list. The bin/install.js mirror is gone. Its premise was false — install.js already requires bin/lib at :65 — and it was unreachable besides: install.js's convertClaudeToOpencodeFrontmatter has no `isAgent: true` call site, because its agents path resolves converters from the compiled module. It was a third copy of the YAML rules serving a test rather than a caller, so the file is back to origin/next and the tests target the live copy only. Effort clamping moved to `clampEffortForHost`, which renderEffortArgv now delegates to. The layout was calling renderEffortArgv with a hardcoded 'argv' to borrow its clamp, which read as if the frontmatter key were gated on the invocation-time axis. It is not: claude declares effortSurface "argv" and independently bakes an effort: key. One capability table, one clamp, two channels that no longer pretend to be each other. Also corrects an earlier claim of mine: adding EFFORT_RENDERING.opencode would NOT have made `effort sync` write the wrong key, because it guards on the runtime name before it ever renders. The seam choice stands on other grounds. `effort sync` still skips OpenCode, but its stated reason claimed OpenCode "does not use effort: frontmatter", which this change makes false — so the message now says what is actually true. * docs(#3706): restate the changeset around the round-trip contract * fix(#3706): restore the changeset fragment belonging to #3809 An earlier commit in this branch picked the first file in .changeset/ by glob order instead of the fragment created for this issue, and overwrote agile-geese-squeak.md (PR 3815 / #3809) with this change's body. Restored verbatim from origin/next; this change's text now lives in its own patient-cranes-parade.md, where it was created. * feat(#3706): maintain the OpenCode variant key from effort sync Install bakes the resolved effort into OpenCode agent frontmatter as `variant:`, so `effort sync` has to maintain it or a config change only takes effect on reinstall — and its skip message claimed OpenCode does not use frontmatter effort at all, which this issue made false. cmdEffortSyncOpencode mirrors the codex branch: resolve per agent, clamp through the declared OpenCode capability, then write, strip, or skip. A null target means the key must not exist, which covers both "no effort configured" and "resolved to inherit or to an unsupported level" — the same states under which install writes nothing, so sync and install agree by construction. The frontmatter line-editors are key-parameterised rather than copied: setEffortFrontmatter / removeEffortFrontmatter are now thin wrappers over the same internals the variant path uses, and a test pins that the claude `effort:` behavior did not move. The child-process test harness fixes both HOME and USERPROFILE, so the hermetic-config assertions cannot pass vacuously on Windows. * fix(#3706): scope the frontmatter line editors to the matched block Found by the security review of the sync path, reported as correctness rather than vulnerability, and reproduced against pre-fix code before being fixed. Both editors matched the frontmatter with a regex that can match a block after a preamble, then derived the EOL and the opening-fence length from the START OF THE FILE. On a CRLF document with a preamble those disagree, the offsets shift by one byte, and the reassembled document comes back with a mangled fence (`---\rname: x`). Both now take the EOL from the matched block. `setFrontmatterKeyLine` additionally did a whole-file `/m` replace when the key already existed, gated only on the key being present in the frontmatter body — so a preamble line starting with the same key was rewritten instead of the frontmatter one. It now replaces inside the frontmatter span only, which is the hazard `removeFrontmatterKeyLine` already documented and guarded against. Neither is reachable from an install-written `gsd-*.md` (those begin at byte 0 with `---`), and both predate this change — but the editors are in this diff because #3706 key-parameterised them, so they are fixed here rather than left for the next caller to trip over. Three regression tests, each confirmed to fail against the pre-fix build. * fix(#3706): treat a present-but-empty key as present, and pin the real seam Fourth review round. The MAJOR one: both sync branches read the current value with `(.+?)`, which needs at least one character, so a key present with an EMPTY value read as "key absent". When the target was also null the code concluded "already correct" and skipped — leaving the key in the file, where it reads back as YAML `null`: exactly the unresolvable-variant state this change exists to prevent. Whitespace decided whether it fired, since `variant: ` matched and `variant:` did not. Presence and value are now separate questions at both the opencode and the claude branch. The OpenCode writer now follows the codex branch rather than the claude one: tmp file plus retryRenameSync with orphan cleanup, and a write failure skips that agent and is reported instead of aborting the sweep. Same granularity, same transient-Windows-lock exposure, so the hardened sibling was the right precedent. Also: the generic line-editors escape their interpolated key, the JSDoc stranded by the clampEffortForHost extraction is back on renderEffortArgv, and a cast that declared a nullable function as non-nullable is corrected. Tests close the gaps the review listed — empty value (both spellings), CRLF round-trip through write and strip, the symlink guard, a body line starting `variant:`, a file with no frontmatter, and the YAML classes that actually broke the predicate. The new layout-seam test drives the real stage() path and was verified to FAIL when `variant` is removed from the converter call; a seam test that survives cutting the seam is worse than none. * fix(#3706): clear the round-five review findings No blockers or majors this round; the repo's review gate is zero-tolerance, so the minors are cleared too. A duplicated key was only half-stripped: the strip regex had no `g` flag, so a frontmatter carrying the key twice lost one occurrence, reported success, and left the "a null target means the key must not exist" invariant false on disk — converging only on a second run. Such a document is already invalid YAML, so this is robustness rather than a live corruption path, but a successful sync has to leave the invariant true. A run in which every write failed still summarised as `ok`, so a caller could not tell "nothing to do" from "everything failed". The OpenCode branch now reports `failed` when any write failed. The write-failure path was also the newest code in the change with no coverage at all; it now has a test that injects the failure by monkeypatching the write, per CLAUDE.md §4, rather than by chmod — mode bits do not bite under root in CI. `CodexEffortSyncWriteFailure` is renamed `EffortSyncWriteFailure` now that two branches share it. Removed a guard on the claude concrete path that was provably unreachable — no member of EFFORT_SET renders null there, so it read as protection that did not exist. The claude inherit path's presence check is load-bearing and untouched. Three stale statements corrected: the OpenCode result shape matches codex's, not claude's, now that it emits write_failures; the `thread()` test helper now calls `clampEffortForHost` so it genuinely mirrors the layout instead of merely claiming to; and a test helper restored `USERPROFILE` by assignment, writing the literal string "undefined" into the environment on POSIX — it deletes now. * fix(#3706): converge the set path, degrade on unreadable files, preserve mode Rounds five and six of review. No blockers or majors; the review gate is zero-tolerance, so the minors are cleared too. `setFrontmatterKeyLine` was the mirror of a defect already fixed in its sibling: `remove` was made global, `set` was not, so on a frontmatter carrying the key twice it rewrote the first and left a stale second. Last-wins YAML readers honour the stale value while the sync's own first-occurrence read reports "in sync" — permanently non-converging. It now collapses to exactly one occurrence, in the position of the first, so ordinary single-occurrence documents stay byte-identical (verified across seven shapes before and after). An unreadable agent file used to throw and abort the entire sweep, while a failed WRITE in the same loop degraded into a report. The OpenCode branch now reports read failures alongside write failures; the claude branch degrades to a skip without a new result field, because its shape is long-standing and widely consumed and one bad file aborting the sweep is the actual defect. The tmp+rename publish dropped the original file's mode — a plain writeFileSync preserves it, a rename does not — so a 0600 agent came back 0644. Both the OpenCode and the codex branch now carry the original's permission bits across the publish, masked with 0o7777: the raw stat mode includes the file-type bits, and POSIX leaves those unspecified for chmod. Linux is the only OS the remote matrix runs, so relying on Darwin's tolerance would have been untestable here. Also documents the `from` contract on EffortSyncChange (null means the key was absent, '' means present with an empty value — a distinction earlier rounds introduced and then collapsed in the output), adds OpenCode to the docs paragraph enumerating where the key is omitted under inherit, and records in a comment that the 'failed' summary reaches only raw mode and does not change the exit code, which is a CLI-contract change affecting all three branches and is deliberately not made here. * fix(#3706): guard the codex read, close the tmp permission window, rename the failure type Round seven, plus one thing I found myself. `cmdEffortSyncCodex` still had an unguarded `fs.readFileSync` — a read fault on one agent exited 1 and aborted the whole sweep. The claude and opencode branches were both guarded earlier this round and codex was missed, with the unguarded read sitting ten lines above the chmod block the previous commit did edit. It now reports read failures the way the OpenCode branch does, and a read failure flips its summary to `failed` — which write failures did not do there either, so both are corrected for consistency. The tmp file was created at the default mode and only tightened afterwards, so a 0600 agent's contents sat in a 0644 file for the length of the publish. I measured the window rather than assuming it, then closed it by passing the mode at creation. The chmod after the write is deliberately RETAINED and commented: the `mode` option only applies when the file is actually created, so a leftover tmp from an earlier crashed run would be truncated and reused at its old mode, and the chmod is what corrects that. `EffortSyncWriteFailure` is renamed `EffortSyncFileFailure` — it was typing a `read_failures` array, the same naming-lie the `Codex…` prefix had last round. Also pins the codex mode preservation with a test. It only writes on a path that genuinely rewrites the file, so the fixture is an Anthropic-flavoured model pin the sync strips, and the test asserts the content changed before checking the mode — otherwise it would pass on a sync that did nothing. * fix(#3706): guard the claude writes and share one escaping rule The security sign-off caught a comment of mine that was factually wrong: the new claude read guard said the failure is folded in "like the write path in this same loop does", and there was no write guard in that loop. Rather than correct the sentence, both claude write sites are now guarded the way the read is — a failed file is skipped, the sweep continues, and the raw summary token flips to `failed`. The JSON shape stays frozen deliberately, because it is long-standing and widely consumed; the token is the channel that can carry the signal without a compatibility risk, which is the reviewer's own suggestion. That makes all three branches consistent: reads and writes guarded everywhere, per-file failures degrade instead of aborting, and every branch reports `failed` rather than `ok` when something did not sync. `setFrontmatterKeyLine` interpolated its value raw while the install-side writer quoted through the shared helpers — two writers of the same frontmatter key disagreeing on escaping, the divergence class this repo requires closed. They now share one rule. Verified no churn: all six effort levels are plain scalars and emit byte-identically, with claude's documented minimal-to-low clamp the only difference in the table, exactly as before. * fix(#3706): publish claude agent writes atomically too Both reviewers found this independently, and it is data loss rather than a reporting gap. The claude branch wrote in place, so `fs.writeFileSync`'s O_TRUNC meant a post-open fault left the agent file truncated or half-written: an injected ENOSPC produced an empty file, and under `ulimit -f` a 60000-byte agent came back as 512 bytes of wrong content. The guard added earlier this round then counted that destroyed file as `skipped`, which in JSON mode is indistinguishable from "already in sync" — so a caller would have read the sweep as clean while an agent on disk was corrupt. It now publishes the way the codex and opencode branches already do: write to a tmp file created at the original's masked mode, chmod, then retryRenameSync, with the tmp unlinked and the agent skipped on any failure. The corrupting case is gone rather than merely reported, which matters because this branch deliberately takes no new result key. I had claimed all three branches were consistent after the previous commit. That was true for degradation and reporting and not for atomicity; the reviewer caught the overclaim. It is true now. Also sorts the claude file list, which the other two branches already did — readdir order is platform-dependent, so leaving it unsorted made the reported `changes` ordering differ across machines for identical inputs. * chore(#3706): backfill the changeset PR number pr:0 placeholder replaced with the real PR now that gh api returned it. * test(#3706): kill the frontmatter mutants this change introduced CI's Stryker frontmatter shard scored 60.58 against a break floor of 62. The cause is documented in the lane's own config, from #1882: this PR added a multi-clause predicate to frontmatter.cts and exported the escaper, but the tests constraining them live in tests/runtime-converters.test.cjs, which that shard does not run — so every mutant in the new code was uncovered there even though the behaviour is tested elsewhere. The fix is assertions that kill real mutants, per the repo's own instruction, not a lowered floor and not a Stryker disable: scripts/mutation-matrix.cjs is untouched. Each clause of agentScalarNeedsDoubleQuoting now has a true case AND a near-miss that must answer the opposite way, so flipping the clause fails a specific named test — alnum-first against `a-b`, trailing `:` against `foo:bar`, embedded `: ` against `a:b`, embedded ` #` against `a#b`, the word list against `yes1`/`nullish`, the numeric forms against `1a`/`0xzz`, the timestamp against `2026-08-25x`, plus the case-insensitive spellings that pin the `i` flag. escapeDoubleQuoted is pinned on exact output, including a case constructed so that escaping in the wrong ORDER yields a different string. Two of my expectations were wrong and are asserted as the code actually behaves: `12:99` is NOT quoted, because the sexagesimal alternative never range-checks minutes and so does not match — which is right, since YAML would not read it as sexagesimal either; and `20260825` is quoted by the numeric clause rather than the timestamp one, being a bare integer. * chore(#3706): ratchet the frontmatter mutation floor to 65 The lane measured 66.67 on PR 3867 after the mutant-killing unit tests landed — above its pre-change 63.35 baseline, not merely recovered. Step 3 of this file's own HOW TO UPDATE procedure says to set minScore = floor(measured) - 1 in the same diff, so 62 becomes 65 and the improvement is locked in rather than left free to slide back. The ledger of measured scores now records the new measurement, why the shard broke in the first place (logic added to frontmatter.cts whose only tests lived in a file this lane does not run — the same trap the #1882 note describes), and one discrepancy: step 3 also says to update "the matching RATCHET_BASELINE entry", but no such declaration exists in this file. The name appears only in that comment, so minScore and the ledger are all there is to update. * fix(#3706): update RATCHET_BASELINE alongside the raised floor The ratchet test caught the previous commit: it raised COVERED['frontmatter'] .minScore to 65 without updating the baseline that mirrors it, which is exactly the mismatch that guard exists to make visible in review. I had claimed RATCHET_BASELINE did not exist. It does — in tests/mutation-matrix-ratchet.test.cjs, not in scripts/mutation-matrix.cjs, which is the only file I searched before concluding it was a stale reference. The ledger comment is corrected to say where it lives and to record that the guard caught the error rather than leaving my wrong claim on the record. * docs(#3706): put the mutation ledger entries back under their own dates The 2026-08-25 measurement was spliced into the middle of the 2026-06-14 list, so adr-parser, config-schema, active-workstream-store and core-utils ended up sitting under the wrong heading and misattributing their measurement dates. That ledger is what a future change reads to calibrate a floor, so a wrong date there is not cosmetic. Each measurement is now under the date it was taken. Also drops the first-person account of my own mistake from the entry — the factual half (where RATCHET_BASELINE lives, and that it is updated in the same diff) is what a reader needs; the confession is not. --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>	2026-08-25 19:54:30 -04:00

Tom Boucher	308c17505c	fix(#3840): reject a malformed feature order instead of coercing it (#3851) ... * fix(#3840): reject a malformed feature `order` instead of coercing it `scripts/gen-features.cjs` was the one field validated by coercion rather than by shape. `Number('')` is 0, and `0x10`, `0b11`, `0o17`, `1e3`, `1.` and `.5` all coerce to finite numbers, so a fragment declaring a bare `order:` sorted to position 0 -- ahead of every real feature, in both the body and the generated table of contents -- with zero violations, a clean `--check` and `--write` exiting 0. That is a fail-open in a gate whose entire contract is a typed violation rather than a silent guess. `order` is now shape-checked against an optionally-signed decimal literal before coercion, mirroring how ID_RE guards `id`. The finite check stays: the regex alone would admit a literal long enough to overflow to Infinity. Surfaced by re-running the feature-implementation directive's design and QA steps against the code merged in #3845, which shipped without them.

Tom Boucher	8d8e9ef5eb	fix(#3842): stage the emitted-drift-ack sweep so it does not conflict in-flight PRs (#3847) ... * fix(#3842): stage the emitted-drift-ack sweep around open PRs The guard-no-ack-on-next sweep (#3078) deleted every all-spent fragment under tests/emitted-drift-acks/ unconditionally. When an open PR still modified the same fragment file, that delete became a modify/delete conflict on the PR's next merge attempt -- the exact shared-file conflict fragments were adopted (#2914) to eliminate, reintroduced by the sweep itself. The first real sweep hit three open, outside- contributor PRs simultaneously (#3330, #3774, #3648), each with the swept fragment as its only conflicting path. assertNoAllSpentFragments now accepts an optional openPrTouchedPaths set (or the sentinel 'unknown') and partitions all-spent fragments into "safe to sweep" and "held" -- a held fragment is reported informationally, never as a failure, and is swept once the touching PR merges or closes. fetchOpenPrTouchedAckPaths computes the touched set with a single `gh pr list --json number,files` call. The guard-next codepath is factored out of main() into the exported, dependency- injectable runGuardNext() so this wiring is unit-testable without a real, network-dependent `gh` binary. The new behavior is strictly opt-in via a --defer-to-open-prs flag, wired only from the guard-no-ack-on-next job in test.yml (which also gains pull-requests: read and a GH_TOKEN env for the `gh` call). Every pre-#3842 caller -- including every existing test -- is unaffected when the flag is omitted. CONTRIBUTING.md's "Why fragments, not one file (#2914)" section now documents the staged-sweep policy so it no longer reads as though fragments are unconditionally conflict-free once spent. Refs #3842 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3842): unify the failed-open-PR-check message to one greppable phrase The remote matrix (commit 4ec4527fb) failed two tests on the fail-closed path: assertNoAllSpentFragments's 'unknown' sentinel branch described the failure as "...could not be determined this run...", while runGuardNext's catch around fetchOpenPrTouchedAckPaths described the same condition as "open-PR check failed (<err>)". Both messages were genuinely present and informative (not missing or empty), but they used different wording for the same fail-closed condition, so there is no single string a human scanning CI output can search for to find out why nothing got swept. Unify both sites on "open-PR check unavailable" -- runGuardNext's line now reads "open-PR check unavailable — <err.message>", and assertNoAllSpentFragments's holdAll message now leads with "deferred (open-PR check unavailable): ...". This is a real fix to the fail-safe path's diagnosability, not a relaxed test assertion: the two now-failing tests already expected this exact phrase, and the fix makes the code say what the tests (correctly) expected instead of loosening them to match arbitrary prior wording.

Tom Boucher	36375513b9	feat(#3840): generate docs/FEATURES.md from per-feature fragments (#3845) ... * feat(#3840): generate docs/FEATURES.md from per-feature fragments docs/FEATURES.md was hand-maintained, and every feature PR wrote into two shared mutable cells: the '### N.' heading whose integer was hand-allocated at authoring time, and the hand-maintained table of contents. Concurrent PRs all picked the same next integer, and two PRs adding differently numbered features still collided on the TOC. #3831 was renumbered 165 -> 166 -> 167 -> 168 across successive rebases, each collision also costing a full matrix verification run because the sha-keyed pass marker dies with the rebase. Mechanism: one fragment per feature at docs/features/<slug>.md carrying id/title/group (and an optional order) in frontmatter, consolidated by scripts/gen-features.cjs --write|--check into a marker-delimited region of docs/FEATURES.md that holds BOTH the TOC and every section body. Group headings and their order are derived too - a group sorts by its lowest-ordered member - so there is no shared registry to edit either; optional per-group prose lives in docs/features/_groups/<slug>.md. A contributor adds exactly one new file. Wired into regen:derived and lint:generated-sync alongside the eight existing generators, matching gen-adr-index.cjs's CLI shape and typed-REASON reporting. Migration froze all 168 existing numbers verbatim: identical section set, identical order, identical bodies. Two defects found in the tree are fixed inline rather than carried forward - the '## Related' block had been spliced into the middle of the document, orphaning §142's Reference line, and four inbound anchors were already broken on next (FEATURES.md#runtime-identity in two files, and #143-spec-phase-edge-completeness-probe off by one). Since the repo has no link checker, --check now validates every inbound FEATURES.md#anchor by resolved target, so that class cannot ship silently again; locale FEATURES.md files resolve elsewhere and stay out of scope. Refs #3840 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3840): carry upstream §69 delta into its fragment and harden the generator Review found section 69 missing '[--strict]' and REQ-STATE-05/06 versus origin/next. Root cause was a stale base, not extraction loss: those lines landed in 394bf384b (#3844) AFTER this branch forked at 63abcface, and 'git diff 63abcface origin/next -- docs/FEATURES.md' is exactly that hunk. Merging origin/next auto-applied the hunk into the GENERATED region, which --check immediately reported as stale; the delta is now carried in docs/features/statemd-consistency-gates.md and regenerated from there. --write is now fail-closed. It previously rendered the region even with violations outstanding, warning only on stderr and exiting 0, so a '--write && git commit' chain could commit a FEATURES.md carrying two colliding sections. It now refuses and exits 1; --force is the explicit override and says so in the report. The test that pinned the old behavior now pins the refusal, plus the --force override and its scoping. Marker forgery is rejected at two layers. A fragment body containing '<!-- FEATURES:START' or '<!-- FEATURES:END' is a typed body_forges_region_marker violation (fragments and group notes alike), and spliceIntoFeatures anchors the end boundary with lastIndexOf instead of indexOf, so a marker that reaches the document by any other route can only make the generated region grow, never shrink. Matching is on marker PREFIXES, so a decorated variant comment cannot slip past. Symlinked corpus entries are refused with a typed dirent_not_regular_file rather than read. A fork PR could otherwise commit docs/features/evil.md as a symlink to any readable path and have the generator inline those bytes into the committed docs/FEATURES.md on the next regen. Equivalence re-verified with a method that cannot cancel out. The first check extracted both operands with the same body-normalising helper, so anything that helper dropped was dropped on both sides. The replacement runs two independent passes: a global content-line multiset diff with no per-section logic at all (0 gained, 19 lost, all 19 the stale hand-written mini-TOC links this change deliberately deletes), and a per-section byte-exact body diff carrying a coverage assertion that fails loudly per file when the extractor accounts for fewer lines than the file contains. That assertion caught two blind spots in the checker itself. 168/168 sections present, order identical, one intended body difference (§142 regains the Reference line orphaned by the misplaced '## Related' block).

Tom Boucher	63abcface9	feat(#3146): resolve gsd_run so workflows cannot reach a foreign gsd-tools (#3831) ... * feat(#3146): resolve gsd_run so workflows cannot reach a foreign gsd-tools The predecessor package get-shit-done-cc publishes a colliding gsd-tools bin whose phases.clear DELETES where this package's ARCHIVES, and both print success-shaped output against a gitignored .planning/ -- which is how #3129 cost a user 43 phase directories with no error and nothing recoverable from git. The launcher's PATH branch now resolves gsd_run, published only by this package and self-locating via its own symlink chain to the sibling shim, instead of the colliding gsd-tools. A foreign handler becomes unreachable from PATH, and when no gsd_run is reachable the resolver fails closed rather than falling back -- that fallback was the vulnerability. This is smaller than the branch it replaces, which matters: the preamble is inlined into 113 shipped files and agents/gsd-verifier.md sits 2 bytes under a red-line size cap. unset -f gsd_run leads the preamble so a re-source is idempotent. Without it, command -v finds the shell function, returns a bare name, and the resolver falls through to an exit 1 that kills a sourced caller's shell. Adds gsd-tools runtime-identity, a manual diagnostic reporting this runtime's package coordinates over the baked package-identity (#498) and readHostVersion, with a strict total classifier: only a JSON object with an exact packageName verifies, since JSON.parse admits 0/"str"/[]/null/true. An inlined identity assertion was built and reviewed first, then withdrawn -- it breaks five frozen size ceilings and no assertion fits in 2 bytes. Closes #3146 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3146): stop sync:launcher relocating a deliberate preamble placement Pre-existing defect, surfaced by this PR because sync is a no-op unless the snippet content actually changes. transformFile inserts the preamble into the first block that CALLS gsd_run, but gsd-core/workflows/explore.md deliberately places it in a bootstrap-only block that DEFINES gsd_run without calling it -- its own comment explains why: declining the research offer must not leave Step 5's commit call unbootstrapped. Stripping empties that block of calls, so the preamble migrated forward and broke the define-before-use invariant tests/explore-command.test.cjs pins. Reproduced on a pristine origin/next checkout with the base snippet and base file, so this was not introduced here. The insertion target now honours a block that already carried the preamble, falling back to the first calling block for files that have none yet. Adds a behavioral regression test over a two-block fixture. Also updates three runtime-launcher-parity tests that pinned the removed PATH fallback to gsd-tools. Their intent is preserved -- the PATH stub is renamed gsd_run so it is reachable by the new resolver, and the RUNTIME_DIR-wins test still asserts the stub is never invoked. Fixture shebangs move to an absolute /bin/sh, because the fixture PATH is deliberately restricted and #!/usr/bin/env sh could not resolve.

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).

Composes existing owners rather than re-deriving: phase rows come from a new locateProgressTable extracted from deriveProgressFromRoadmap (so the snapshot can never disagree with GSD's own progress counters), milestone identity from getMilestoneInfo, and next from classifyProject. Owners are required lazily to avoid the state -> state-contract -> smart-entry -> state require cycle.

Reshaped to a hyphenated fake instruction tag, which stays hostile-looking while matching none of the scanner's patterns.

Tom Boucher	a84f756303	fix(#3078): sweep all-spent ack fragments on next, name the collision remedy (#3823) ... * fix(#3078): sweep all-spent ack fragments on next, name the collision remedy `guard-no-ack-on-next` only ever watched the legacy tests/emitted-drift-ack.json. #2914 exempted the fragment directory on the premise that a persisting fragment "cannot conflict with any other PR". Fragments do not share a FILE, but they do share a PATH KEY SPACE, and a path claimed by two sources is a hard failure in the same script -- so a fully-spent fragment on next owns keys it can no longer gate, and the next PR to grow one of those paths can declare it neither there (spent) nor in its own fragment (duplicate). Measured at the sweep: 45 fragments owning 403 paths, up from 13/272 at triage 19 days earlier. - `assertNoAllSpentFragments` fails a fragment only when EVERY surviving entry is spent against the copy at HEAD^, so a partially spent fragment -- and the re-arm-by-appending route #2639/#2993 ship on -- keeps working. - `ackProse` duplicates the gate's zero-width/whitespace stripping across the scripts-ship/tests-do-not line, bounded by a prose-parity test. - The guard job's checkout takes fetch-depth: 2; at depth 1 HEAD^ is absent and every fragment reads as brand-new, i.e. the guard passes vacuously. - The duplicate-ack error now names both resolutions, since the guard is post-merge by design and cannot stop the colliding PR. - All 45 spent fragments deleted, 0000-legacy-migration.json included, and the three tests that pinned its permanence corrected. Verification is the remote runner (gsd-test), not a local suite. Closes #3078 * fix(#3078): make the prose-parity test two-sided, cover the git seam, base on the pre-push tip Three review findings, all fixed: - The parity test was a tautology: it checked ACK_INVISIBLE against a hardcoded list matching its own definition, never against the gate. The gate's INVISIBLE and its reason normalizer (hoisted out of diffEmitted as normalizeAckReason) are now exported for that sole purpose, and the test sweeps 0x00-0xFFFF against both surfaces. Mutation-checked: adding a codepoint to one side and not the other now fails. - resolveBaseRef, readFragmentAtRef and assertUsableBaseRef had zero direct coverage -- the tests reimplemented the git reads in a local helper, so the ls-tree-vs-show discrimination, the root-commit fallback and the option-injection guard were never executed. All are exported and tested against real temp repositories now, plus an end-to-end --base-ref subprocess. - HEAD^ is not 'the state of next before this push'. The default branch allows REBASE merges, so one push can carry N commits, and a 2-commit rebase-merge whose first commit adds a fragment would be told to git rm it on the very push that introduced it. CI now passes github.event.before via --base-ref and fetches it explicitly; HEAD^ remains only the local fallback. Also adds the safe.directory guard every other git call in this repo carries (#2767), and stops naming the deleted migration fragment by filename in CONTEXT.md, which tripped lint-removed-but-needed. Refs #3078 * fix(#3078): keep the fragment directory alive after the sweep empties it Sweeping every fragment leaves the directory untracked, and check-glossary-refs then fails: CONTEXT.md references tests/emitted-drift-acks, which no longer exists. The empty directory IS the intended steady state, so it has to survive its own remedy. Adds tests/emitted-drift-acks/README.md documenting the create/use/delete lifecycle where a contributor actually meets it, matching the existing tests/qa/smell-acks/README.md precedent. Every reader filters on .json, so the README is invisible to the gate. Also sweeps #3809's ack fragment, which the rebase onto origin/next brought in and the new guard immediately reported as all-spent -- its own remedy applied. Refs #3078 * fix(#3078): guard the added tests' git calls, drop a second fragment-existence pin Both defects surfaced by the remote runner (linux-node24, 4/37445 failed). - The new --base-ref E2E test ran `git rev-parse HEAD` against the checkout without the #2767 safe.directory guard. The runner mounts the repo at a path owned by another uid, so git refused every operation there with 'detected dubious ownership'. Every git call the new tests make now names its own specific directory as safe, via one local helper, mirroring safeDirArgs in helpers/emitted-runtime.cjs. - tests/agent-tracked-source-rule.test.cjs pinned the existence and contents of the 3645 and 3409 ack fragments. That is a merged PR's paperwork, not live behavior: once the growth is in next's baseline the acks are spent and this PR's guard sweeps them. The third assertion pinned the hand-appended workaround for the exact collision #3078 removes. Deleted; #3645's real protection is the two behavioral tests above it, untouched. Also restores #3809's ack fragment, which merged one commit before this branch. Deleting an ack in the same window as its introducing PR races any consumer whose baseline predates it -- the runner's container proved it, resolving origin/next to 8ed105c8a where the file is still 13847. The backlog sweep is this PR's scope; that fragment is left for the guard's own first run. Adds the rule to the fragment README so the class stops recurring. Refs #3078 * test(#3078): derive the E2E guard expectation from the fragment inventory The --base-ref E2E test asserted exit 0 while passing the checkout's own HEAD as the base ref. HEAD-as-base makes every present fragment byte-identical to itself, so all of them are trivially all-spent and the guard correctly exits 1. The test only ever passed because the directory happened to be empty when it was written; restoring #3809's fragment made it fail. The script was right and the test was wrong. The degenerate base ref is kept deliberately -- it is what makes 'spent' trivially true and therefore deterministic -- but the expectation is now derived from listFragmentFiles() at runtime: zero fragments means exit 0 and the no-survivors line, N fragments means exit 1 with every name and its git rm. Proven state-independent by running the suite with the fragment present, with the directory emptied, and with it restored. The option-shaped --base-ref rejection is split into its own test, unchanged.

Tom Boucher	107eb8c1d9	feat(#3753): run docs guards on the PR that changes the docs they read (#3787) ... A PR whose diff is entirely under docs/ runs zero tests, so a guard whose INPUT is shipped prose cannot protect the PR lane of the diffs it exists to check. Its only firing opportunity is after merge, on the shared branch -- which is how next went red on dacae9273 while the PR that caused it (#3746) was green on every check. The docs-lint job in .github/workflows/docs-required.yml -- an ALREADY-REQUIRED context -- now selects and runs the docs guards that read the specific docs files the PR changed. scripts/docs-guard-registry.cjs test file -> the docs paths it reads (63) scripts/select-docs-guards.cjs pure (changedPaths, registry) -> test files scripts/lint-docs-guard-registration.cjs drift guard, wired into lint:ci scripts/ci-test-scope.cjs is NOT touched -- `git diff origin/next --` on it is empty -- so #764's saving stands and its 21 pinning tests are untouched. Selection: exact path; trailing-slash directory prefix (boundary-checked -- docs/adrenaline.md does NOT match docs/adr/, which a naive startsWith gets wrong); and '*' for the 6 entries that walk docs/ generally or read a computed path. Unknown maps to '*' -- guessing narrow is how a guard silently stops running. Measured: a typo fix selects 6 of 63; docs/AGENTS.md selects 12; docs/COMMANDS.md selects 18. Four things this got wrong first, each found by an independent reviewer or by probe, and each having been asserted safe in a comment: 1. The registry started as a RULE in ci-test-scope.cjs's RULES, on the theory that classify()'s !codeChanged normalization made it inert. True for docs-ONLY diffs; false for MIXED docs+code diffs, where codeChanged is true and the normalization never runs: node scripts/ci-test-scope.cjs --files "docs/a.md src/semver.cts" with the RULE: 25 targeted_tests origin/next: 3 targeted_tests Category error: RULES is the scoped lane's input; a docs-guard registry is a lane manifest for a consumer that never calls classify(). Extracted; pinned by value. 2. The second attempt was a dedicated workflow with paths: [docs/**]. Such a workflow never reports on a non-docs PR, so it can never be a required context without hanging every non-docs PR -- and a non-required check does not block a merge, so the guard would have been advisory and #3753 unfixed. docs-required.yml already has no paths: filter, already supplies the required docs-lint context, already computes docs_changed, and already ran one docs guard gated on it. Generalizing that step needs no ruleset edit at all. 3. The registry and the drift lint were built from ONE path-segment heuristic, so both were blind identically -- and blind at the guard that motivated the issue. The reader-call regex required a character BEFORE its keyword, so a callee named exactly read( / load( / parse( / doc( / file( / content( could never match; and only an INLINE path.join(ROOT,'docs','X.md') argument was caught, missing the two-step-via-variable form -- the MAJORITY spelling -- plus template literals and concatenation. Detector 1 fired on 14 of ~450 files, so 35 genuine guards sat unregistered while the lint reported 0 violations, including cursor-reviewer (reads docs/COMMANDS.md, asserts .includes('--cursor')) and inventory-headings-countfree. The "accepted blind spot" this shipped with was the common case, not a fringe. 4. With detection fixed the true population is 115 files: 63 genuine guards, 52 incidental. Running all 63 in a REQUIRED check on a one-line typo fix is the cost #764 exists to avoid -- install.test.cjs is 7840 lines and reads exactly one docs file, docs/AGENTS.md, for its frontmatter. Dropping it reproduces the bug; running it for a typo elsewhere is waste. Hence the map. Then a second review round found six more, all fixed here: - fragment-single-edit-propagation.install.test.cjs was EXEMPTED as "overlay fixture only". False: it reads the real docs/registries/eos.json and asserts on a registry entry name, and reads the real ADR-0001 and asserts its H1. A docs-only PR touching either would have gone green and red next -- #3753 shipping again, from inside the fix for it. Now registered against both paths, and all 52 remaining exemptions were re-audited one by one. - The SUITES-collision guard compared RAW registry keys, but run-tests.cjs strips a leading `tests/` BEFORE its suite check. So it caught 'all' and missed 'tests/all' -- the only spelling that can actually occur, since every key carries the prefix. One typo would have run all 824 test files inside the required job. Now normalized the same way run-tests.cjs normalizes. - The lint failed OPEN on an unreadable tests dir or candidate file: 0 violations, ok:true. A guard that cannot read its input must never report success. - The exemption ratchet gated identity only, so a baselined file that later STARTED asserting on shipped docs stayed exempt silently -- 52 permanently blind files. The baseline now fingerprints the docs paths each exempted file references and fails when that set changes, naming what changed. - The exemption marker was still honored inside a multi-line template literal in the header window. The scanner now tracks template-literal and block-comment state. - `git diff --name-only | grep '^docs/'` silently dropped C-quoted non-ASCII docs paths, making docs_changed=false a green zero-guard check. Both call sites now pass -c core.quotepath=false. - The run step was gated on hashFiles(), which a force-committed .docs-guard-tests.txt would satisfy. The step now rm -f's both scratch files first and gates on an output it sets itself. Three empty states, deliberately distinct, because conflating them rebuilds #3753: an empty or malformed registry HARD-FAILS; docs changed with no guard covering them logs and skips; no docs change is already gated. The middle state must never be expressed as an empty --files-from, which prints `no tests in suite "all"` and exits 0 -- a green check that guarded nothing. With the current registry that state is unreachable, because the six '*' entries always match; the branch is kept as defensive handling for a future registry and says so. timeout-minutes: 15 bounds the required job against a hanging fork-supplied test; it had none. npm ci was added because the job never installed dependencies -- the previous single-file step got away without it, the registry does not. docs/contributing/docs-guard-registration.md documents the rule, following its sibling cross-platform-portability-rules.md, and CONTRIBUTING.md's CI Test Quality Checks table links to it. It is also load-bearing: without a docs/ file in the diff this PR would not have triggered its own lane, shipping an unexercised change to a required check. One unrelated fix, included because this PR surfaced it and CLAUDE.md forbids deferring a defect found while working. On this branch's first CI run, `full test (windows-latest, 24, shard 3/3)` was CANCELLED at exactly 30 minutes; tests were still passing 0.8s before the cancel, so it is a wall-clock timeout, not a hang, and a cancelled job reddens `Required tests`. The cause is not this PR's test file, which costs ~60ms. Shard composition is unstable: adding ONE file to the unit suite reshuffled 115 of 268 files between shards, and shard 3 drew a heavier mix. Underneath that is a real pre-existing defect. tests/ci-test-job-timeout-budget.test.cjs requires every lane's budget to be >= 1.5x its MEASURED cost -- "a lane that got slower must be re-budgeted, not excused" -- and its test-full entry recorded 19m from a windows-22 shard. That is stale. Measured on `next` with none of this PR's changes present: 26m18s (run 32614439702, windows-latest/24 shard 3/3), 23m36s and 23m17s on shard 2/3. So the lane costs ~26m and the 30-minute cap carried 1.14x headroom, not 1.5x. The gate had been out of compliance with its own rule; this PR was merely the file addition that reshuffled shard 3 past the cliff. Fixed as that file prescribes: measuredMinutes 19 -> 27 with fresh evidence, and test-full timeout-minutes 30 -> 45. The rule's minimum for 27m is 41; 45 is deliberately above it because the reshuffle means per-shard worst case moves run to run, and a budget pinned to the exact minimum would be re-breached by the next test file anyone adds. Only that one job's timeout changed; test.yml's scope, matrix and steps are untouched, so #764's saving is unaffected. Raising that cap let the Windows shard finish (28m45s, inside 45) and uncovered a real failure the 30-minute cancel had been masking: `new quick-task branch branches off origin/main (#2916)` died with `outcome=timed_out exitCode=null`, SIGTERM, at the 15000ms bound. tests/quick-branching.test.cjs:149 `runStep` runs a `#!/usr/bin/env bash` script executing MULTIPLE git commands, but was bound to GIT_TIMEOUT_MS (15000) -- the norm for a SINGLE git plumbing call. tests/helpers/timeouts.cjs already documents this exact failure and exists to fix it: HOOK_FANOUT_TIMEOUT_MS was created after PR #3285 recorded "outcome=timed_out exitCode=null at exactly the 15000ms probe bound while every other lane passed the same commit", and calls that "a bound sized for the wrong class, not a slow machine". Our failure is that case verbatim, so both sites move to the class norm rather than to a bigger number. The same class also failed on `next` itself 21 hours earlier -- run 32608945654, windows-latest/24 shard 1/3, `plan touching only src/ in a submodule project keeps worktree isolation ENABLED` -- where tests/worktree-safety.test.cjs:5845 `runGate` fans out to `git config --file .gitmodules` under a hardcoded 30000. Fixed too, since it is a defect in the tree regardless of which branch surfaced it. A survey of the whole tests/ tree found the same class-mismatch at further bash fan-out sites bound under 60000ms, and the maintainer approved sweeping them rather than leaving them latent to surface the same way one at a time. 16 fan-out sites across 16 files now use the class norm. The sweep is class-correctness, not raising numbers until things pass. Sites were moved ONLY where the bash body demonstrably spawns something (git, node, npm, a CLI); self-contained shell snippets were left where they are, and are listed as deliberately unchanged: pure if/printf bodies (copilot-install), pure array/case builtins (code-review-pipeline-regression:638), a documented pure-shell gsd_run stub (host-integration), single-process hook calls (workflow-guard:222/271/302), and a deliberately tight 5000ms fast-check hook (gsd-write-guard.property). Nothing was lowered. process-seam.test.cjs:513 (literal 300) is untouched on purpose -- it tests timeout BEHAVIOR, so raising it would destroy what it asserts. Shared file-level constants were the trap here, and were handled per file rather than by redefinition: GIT_TIMEOUT_MS has ~15 users in git-base-branch and only 1 is a fan-out; WORKTREE_TIMEOUT_MS has 16 users in worktree.test.cjs and 3 are; PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS has several in three more files. In each the CALL SITE was changed and the constant left alone, so no single-plumbing-call site silently inherited a 60s bound. The one exception is hooks-opt-in.test.cjs, where HOOK_TIMEOUT_MS has exactly one consumer -- spawnHook, the fan-out itself -- so redefining it is identical in effect and reads better. Only two of these sites have actually been observed failing. The rest cite that shared class and those two run ids rather than inventing evidence of their own.

Tom Boucher	004e9dd741	fix(#3007): resolve Codex reasoning effort per model and make every clamp visible (#3765) ... * test(#3007): failing-first suite for per-model Codex effort capability RED by construction. Binds to behavior renderEffortForRuntime does not yet have: an optional third `model` argument, a per-model advertised-level table, `max` passing through instead of clamping to `xhigh`, `minimal` clamping to `low`, `ultra` rejected outright, and clamp visibility (`requested`/`clamped`/ `reason`) so a downgrade is legible from resolver output rather than silent. Two of these pin defects that exist on next today: - `max` is discarded. Both Codex models whose catalog entries are retrievable (sol, luna) advertise `max`; GSD clamps it to `xhigh` and reports nothing. - `minimal` is emitted to a model that refuses it. providerPresets.openai. haiku.low pairs gpt-5.6-luna with reasoning_effort "minimal", and luna's advertised floor is `low`. GSD is sending a value into a document Codex itself validates. The parity test is what pins that fixed, and it names the offending path/model/effort when it trips. Also corrects tests/model-resolver.test.cjs:351, which asserted renderEffortForRuntime('codex','max').value === 'xhigh' -- the defect pinned as though it were a contract. ADR-443 recorded "Codex has no max" as fact and it was true when written; Codex has since added both `max` and `ultra`. That is a stale premise, so the assertion is corrected here rather than worked around. The property test asserts the invariant the whole change exists for: a rendered effort is always a level the target model actually advertises, or an explicit rejection. There is no third outcome. * fix(#3007): resolve Codex effort per model, and make every clamp visible Codex declares supported_reasoning_levels per MODEL and validates against it, so a single per-runtime capability set cannot be right for all of them. GSD's was wrong in both directions at once. `max` reaches Codex now. ADR-443 recorded "Codex has no max" as fact and clamped max -> xhigh on that basis; it was accurate when written, and Codex has since added both `max` and `ultra`. Every Codex model whose catalog entry is retrievable advertises `max`, so the clamp was discarding a level the provider supports, silently, on the most-used path. `minimal` stops reaching Codex. No Codex model advertises it -- both retrievable entries floor at `low` -- yet providerPresets.openai.haiku.low paired gpt-5.6-luna with reasoning_effort "minimal". GSD was writing a value the receiver validates and refuses into a file the receiver reads. Being unconservative in what you send is the half of Postel's rule with no defensible reading, so that preset is corrected and a parity test pins it. `ultra` is refused rather than laddered. Codex's own catalog calls it "Maximum reasoning with automatic task delegation": at ultra, effective_multi_agent_mode returns Proactive and Codex spawns sub-agents on its own initiative, underneath GSD's orchestration rather than inside it (#2167). It is a mode switch, not a reasoning depth, so it is not added to the universal ladder -- which stays provider-agnostic by ADR-443's design -- and it is rejected even for gpt-5.6-sol, which does advertise it. Clamping it down to `max` was considered and rejected: that silently discards what the user actually asked for. Clamping is now visible. RenderedEffort carries requested/clamped/reason and resolve-execution surfaces them. The previous table clamped correctly but invisibly, so a user asking for `max` on Codex had no way to find out they were getting `xhigh` -- exactly the failure mode the robustness principle's modern critique warns about, and why "be liberal" has to mean "liberal and loud". Also closes a latent trap found while reviewing the implementation: the clamp-up loop walks the ladder upward, and for a future model advertising `ultra` but not `max` it would have selected `ultra` as the clamp target -- re-entering by the back door the mode the rejection above exists to keep out. A clamp may never produce a value that a direct request for that value would refuse. Unreachable with today's catalog, which is why no test caught it; a test now asserts the invariant directly. Signature stability is preserved: the third `model` argument is optional and the two-argument form still resolves, against the family baseline. That form's BEHAVIOR does change for `max` and `minimal`, and it must -- keeping the old answer would have fixed the defect only where a model happened to be threaded through and left it live everywhere else. tests/model-resolver.test.cjs:351 asserted the defect as if it were a contract and is corrected here rather than worked around. * fix(#3007): close every review finding on the Codex effort alignment Two isolated reviewers, correctness and security. Both found the same two blockers, and the per-model work was inert on every surface that matters until this commit. BLOCKER — resolve-execution never passed the model and discarded the clamp. cmdResolveExecution called the two-argument form and emitted only effort_rendered/effort_param/effort_propagation, so the per-model table was unreachable from production code (tests were its only caller) and requested/ clamped/reason were computed and thrown away. Requested outcome 3 names "the effective rendered effort in resolver output" specifically, so the feature was unmet on the exact surface the issue asks for. Now passes the resolved model and emits effort_requested / effort_clamped / effort_clamp_reason, flat, matching the existing key convention rather than introducing a nested object. BLOCKER — the docs described output that did not exist. CONFIGURATION.md showed a nested {"effort": ...} sample; the real result is flat and those keys were absent entirely. A reference doc asserting a JSON path a reader can copy is worse than no doc. Corrected against the actual emitted key set. MAJOR — the argv channel still shipped both original defects. EFFORT_ARGV.codex kept minimal in its supported set and still clamped max down to xhigh, so the invocation-time and install-time channels disagreed about the same runtime's capability: --host codex with max emitted xhigh while the generated TOML said max. This is the repo's documented generative-fix-divergence class, so both tables now cross-reference each other and a parity test fails if they ever diverge again. MAJOR — malformed catalog data failed OPEN and could crash the CLI. A null _baseline became an EMPTY Set that is nonetheless truthy, so the nullish fallback never fired and every effort rendered as null. And a non-array value made the Set constructor throw at module load — model-catalog.cjs is required across the whole CLI, so one bad JSON value killed every command, not just codex effort. Guarded on size and filtered to array values; both degrade to the hardcoded baseline. MAJOR — value widened to a nullable string with two consumers left behind. runtime-artifact-conversion passed it straight into injectEffortFrontmatter (a null effort key in generated frontmatter); install-effort-resolver still declared a non-nullable return, a structural lie that silently defeated null checking. Both corrected, both omitting the key on null — the same posture as 'inherit', where omission means "follow the host default". MAJOR — the per-model table is inert today, and the docs now say so. All three shipped models advertise the same usable range and ultra (sol's only differentiator) is rejected for every model, so no observable output differs by model. The table stays because Codex declares capability per model and the sets are free to diverge — a single per-runtime assumption is precisely what went stale and produced this issue — but overselling it as a visible per-model feature would have been the same class of error as the doc blocker above. Tests: three passed under a full revert and are strengthened rather than deleted, since each guards a real contract (#3533's inherit rule, the undeclared-host rule, off-ladder handling) — they now also assert the clamp-visibility fields, which only exist after this change. The fast-check property is kept for its shrinking, and a deterministic nested loop over the full cross-product now sits beside it so coverage is exhaustive rather than sampled. Also folded in earlier: bin/install.js generated the Codex TOML with the two-arg form and would have written a literal null reasoning effort on the ultra path; CONTEXT.md's Model Catalog Module glossary entry now records CODEX_MODEL_EFFORT. The installer defect was found by the co-change gate, not by a reviewer — install.js is a historical co-change partner of model-catalog.cts that this diff had not touched. * test(#3007): correct assertions that pinned Codex's stale effort premise Thirteen pre-existing tests encoded "Codex has no max" as fact and failed on the shipped commit. Every one is a stale pin, not a defect: each was probed against the built module before its expectation was changed, and none failed for a reason other than this premise correction. Kept as its own commit per CONTRIBUTING — a test-fixture correction made stale by a production change must not ride inside another commit, because the release-sdk hotfix cherry-pick filter routes by subject prefix and a correction buried under the wrong prefix ships a half-state (v1.42.3, #3621). The most valuable one was tests/model-resolver.test.cjs's cross-provider validity invariant, which hardcoded the Codex enum as `minimal|low|medium|high|xhigh` and failed with "real API would 400". That message is now false in both directions: Codex accepts `max`, and rejects `minimal`, which no model advertises. The enum is corrected to `low|medium|high|xhigh|max` and the guard is kept intact — it is exactly the "would the real API refuse this" check worth having, and it was right to fail here. It simply carried the stale fact in its own fixture. Test NAMES were corrected alongside their assertions wherever the name asserted the old behavior — "max is Anthropic-only", "max clamps to xhigh", "minimal passthrough". A renamed test that still claims the old thing is worse than a failing one, and a green test whose name states a falsehood is how the next reader inherits the wrong premise. Both channels are covered: install-time (renderEffortForRuntime, and the generated .toml in install-runtime-artifacts) and invocation-time argv (effort-surface-axis). They were deliberately brought into agreement in this change, so their assertions had to move together. Each site carries a #3007 comment recording that Codex gained max/ultra and that capability is declared per model, so a future reader can tell this was a deliberate premise correction rather than a test bent to fit an implementation. * test(#3007): separate the effort-precedence case from the clamp case The previous stale-assertion pass over-corrected one test. It saw `effort: { default: 'max' }` on codex expecting `effort_rendered: 'xhigh'`, assumed the xhigh came from the max→xhigh clamp #3007 removes, renamed it to "max passes through" and changed the expectation to `max`. The remote runner disagreed. Reproduced against the real CLI: with that config and `gsd-planner`, the resolver emits `effort: "xhigh"`, `effort_requested: "xhigh"`, `effort_clamped: false`. The xhigh is produced by effort-resolution PRECEDENCE — gsd-planner is heavy/opus tier and its routing-tier default outranks `effort.default` — so `max` never reaches the renderer at all. The test says nothing about clamping and never did; it only looked like a clamp pin because both mechanisms happened to yield the same string. Restored to `xhigh` and renamed to say what it actually tests. It now also asserts `effort_clamped === false` and `effort_requested === 'xhigh'`, which is what makes it impossible to mistake for a clamp pin again: those two fields prove the value is what the resolver produced rather than something the renderer downgraded. Before #3007 there was no way to tell the two apart from the output — which is precisely why the previous pass could not tell them apart either. Added the test that was actually missing: `effort.agent_overrides`, which outranks the tier default, so the requested level genuinely reaches the renderer and `max` survives to `effort_rendered` end-to-end through the real CLI. Verified by probe before asserting. One test now pins the precedence rule and the other pins the #3007 behavior, and neither can be read as the other. That the clamp-visibility fields are what resolved this is a small argument for having added them. * chore(#3007): backfill changeset pr number to 3765 * test(#3007): put model-catalog under the mutation gate The Stryker shard showed as `skipping` on this PR despite the diff rewriting model-catalog's effort logic. That was legitimate, not a detection bug: `model-catalog` was never in scripts/mutation-matrix.cjs's COVERED map, so the whole module — including everything #3007 touches — sat entirely outside mutation scoring with has_work "false". Registered, with a dedicated spawn-free surface. tests/model-catalog.unit.test.cjs is new: 44 in-process tests, no runGsdTools, no child process, no filesystem, no temp dirs. That shape is not stylistic — it is the #2790 precedent this file already documents. Stryker's command runner treats a whole `node --test <file>` invocation as ONE test costing whatever its slowest case costs, and re-runs it per mutant, so pointing a shard at tests/model-resolver.test.cjs (which uses runGsdTools throughout) would reproduce exactly the 15-minute shard-cap cancellation #2790 hit. The integration file is unaffected and keeps running in full in the normal test job. Coverage spans the module rather than only the diff, because the score is measured over the whole file: effort rendering across every model and ladder level in both channels, the prototype-chain host guard, the exported enums and maps, isAnthropicFlavoredModel's provider namespacings, the profile projections, nextTier, and mergeEffortTierDefaults. The last two were nearly left out and are worth naming — every uncovered exported function is score given away, and mergeEffortTierDefaults turned out to have a genuinely interesting contract (#3531: a partial override merges over the built-ins rather than replacing them, and isValid gates the VALUE, not the tier name, so an unknown tier key is still merged in). Every expectation was probed against the built module before being asserted. minScore is 1 and that is a PLACEHOLDER, flagged as such in the registry comment. Floors in this repo are measured, not chosen — the existing entries sit at 94, 75 and 56 — and they can only be measured in CI, because mutation shards run `node --test`, which is hard-blocked locally. The first CI run on this branch reports the real number and the floor gets ratcheted to it before merge. A placeholder of 1 reaching `next` would make the gate decorative: it would pass whether or not a single mutant is ever killed. Note the target is "never regress from measured", not a fixed 80 — planning-inspect sits at 56 and is documented as an accepted ratchet candidate. * test(#3007): bootstrap model-catalog's mutation floor legally The placeholder floor was structurally illegal and the remote run said so. tests/mutation-matrix-ratchet.test.cjs guards the guard: every COVERED module must carry a matching RATCHET_BASELINE entry in the same diff, minScore must EQUAL that baseline, and it must be at least 50. `minScore: 1` failed all three. That is the ratchet working exactly as intended — a floor nobody can satisfy accidentally is the point of it. Bootstrapped at 50 in both places. Fifty is not a measured score and the comment says so plainly: it is the minimum the guard permits, and it coincides with Stryker's own configured `break` threshold, so it is the lowest legal starting point for a module that has never been measured. It still must be ratcheted to floor(measured) - 1 before this PR merges. Also corrected a real defect in the file's own instructions. "HOW TO UPDATE" step 1 read "Run the per-module Stryker shard locally" — which cannot be done here, and which the same file contradicts eighty lines further down, where the #2790 scores are recorded as "not a local run; mutation shards run `node --test`, hard-blocked in this repo's local environment". stryker.config.mjs confirms the command runner invokes `node --test` once per mutant, and .claude/hooks/block-local-node-test.sh denies exactly that. So the documented first step sends the next contributor at a wall. Rewritten to describe the path that works — push, read the measured score off the CI shard, then set the floor and its baseline together in one diff — and to say why local measurement is not available, so nobody rediscovers it the slow way. GOODHART SAFETY is untouched. The two-step is inherent to the environment rather than a shortcut: a floor cannot be measured before the first CI run exists, and the guard rightly refuses to accept an unmeasured one below its minimum. * test(#3007): ratchet model-catalog's mutation floor to its measured score The shard ran in CI and reported 59.62% — 248 mutants killed, 168 survived, no timeouts, no errors (run 32605073352, job 97108869486). Floor set to 58 per this file's own rule, minScore = floor(measured) - 1, which is the same arithmetic every sibling entry used: 57.03 to 56, 76.58 to 75, 95.65 to 94. Both halves moved together, because the ratchet guard asserts minScore equals its RATCHET_BASELINE entry and would reject them drifting apart. The spawn-free unit surface is vindicated by the clock: 57 seconds, against a 15-minute shard cap and a 9m46s frontmatter shard in the same run. That was the whole reason for creating tests/model-catalog.unit.test.cjs rather than pointing the shard at tests/model-resolver.test.cjs — #2790 recorded shards being CANCELLED at that cap when they targeted a runGsdTools-heavy integration file. The registry comment is rewritten rather than deleted. It previously warned that the floor was provisional and must not ship that way; leaving that text next to a measured floor would make the file lie in the other direction. It now records the measurement the way the sibling entries do, including that 59.62 sits below TARGET (80) and is therefore a ratchet candidate like planning-inspect at 56 — comfortably clear of its own floor with real room to grow. Raise it as the tests improve; never lower it. Worth stating plainly: 168 surviving mutants is not a clean bill of health. It is an honest floor for a module that had NO mutation coverage at all an hour ago, and it is now pinned so it cannot silently regress. --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>	2026-08-22 20:51:55 -04:00

Tom Boucher	8da2dd3ad2	feat(#2790): add read-only planning.inspect schema-v1 snapshot query (#3708) ... * feat(#2790): add read-only planning.inspect schema-v1 snapshot query Adds a read-only query emitting a schema-versioned JSON projection of .planning/ so downstream harness UIs can consume planning state without parsing GSD's Markdown a second time. Composed strictly from the ADR-3180 section 7 owners plus parsePlanDocument, parseRequirements and parseUatItems; markdown structure is read through the Markdown Sectionizer and Markdown Table Model seams. It declares its own flat external schema rather than serializing PlanningSnapshot, which is the diagnostic-rule subject and still growing. Extracts plan-document parsing out of cmdPhasePlanIndex into a shared leaf module so phase.plan-index and planning.inspect cannot drift, including the plan-id derivation both surfaces report. Also fixes parseRequirements dropping the separator delimiter used by the shipped requirements template, surfaced while wiring the requirement rows. * fix(#2790): close spec gaps and a raw-text test assertion found in review Review findings from the standards, spec and security passes: - phases[] rows carry goal and dependencies, the two per-phase elements the issue Summary names that had no corresponding field. Goal is bounded to the section's leading prose so the Depends-on line, the Plans checklist and the wave annotations are not duplicated into it. - requirement rows carry their own diagnostic codes, so a consumer no longer has to string-parse the global diagnostics subject to correlate. - roadmap_acceptance.checkbox is looked up through the phase-id key owners. It was compared raw against the on-disk directory name, so it read null for every real-world slugged phase directory and the evidence channel was inert. - the hostile-input test asserts the structured payload instead of matching the raw stdout string. The absence proof over raw stdout is kept deliberately. * fix(#2790): register planning in the runtime usage list and repair fixtures Remote runner reported 9 failures on 9b3f9aa. Two root causes, both fixed: - gsd-tools.cjs registered the planning family in HOST_COMMAND_ROUTERS but never added it to TOP_LEVEL_USAGE's Commands list. Those are two surfaces a parity test guards, and the top-of-file block comment is not the runtime help string. A real wiring gap that every local gate and three review passes missed. - the new suite's fixtures could not produce a resolvable phase set. STATE.md frontmatter omitted the milestone field, which ADR-3180 7.2 rule 1 makes the primary milestone selector, so the phase set scoped unscoped and every percentage was correctly withheld. Separately declarePhase returned a path without creating the directory, so a phase declared but never written to left phases empty. Both reproduced against the built module before fixing. No assertion was weakened. The withholding path is still exercised and still returns null when the roadmap is absent. * chore(#2790): backfill changeset pr number * test(#2790): cover every enumerated matrix row and contain a symlink escape Reverses a silent deferral. An earlier revision left 23 of the 78 enumerated matrix rows unimplemented and 7 more as one-off manual checks, with a paragraph in the artifact and the PR body describing the gap. CLAUDE.md is explicit that such a note is not a fix and is not surfacing. The rows are implemented instead and the manual-evidence bucket is gone: 49 test cases become 88, covering all 78. Writing the symlink row proved a real leak: a *-PLAN.md symlinked outside .planning/ had its content emitted into the payload, confirmed via a direct call and the spawned CLI. readDocument now resolves target and planning root with realpathSync and rejects an escape, returning the ordinary unreadable-document shape. Tested both ways, because a containment check that over-rejects is its own defect: an escaping symlink leaks nothing and degrades that plan alone, while a legitimately relocated .planning/ symlink stays fully readable. The three new modules are registered in the mutation COVERED registry, which had been reporting has_work false and skipping the Stryker gate entirely. Provisional non-binding floors so the shards run and report; raised to the measured value before merge, since the registry forbids calibrating from a local run. * fix(#2790): satisfy the mutation ratchet contract and scope the 1MB test Remote runner reported 16 failures on 8c451ed. Two causes. The COVERED registry has a paired contract the earlier commit violated: every module needs a matching RATCHET_BASELINE entry, and minScore must be between 50 and 100 with minScore === baseline. The provisional floor of 1 was illegal on both counts. All three modules now sit at 50 — the registry's own enforced minimum — with matching baselines. The score cannot be measured locally: the shard runs node --test, which this repo hard-blocks, so CI is the only source. Floors are raised to the measured value once this PR's shards report; a shard below 50 means the tests need strengthening, since the floor cannot go lower. The 1MB test was measuring the test harness rather than the product. The command handles the oversized payload correctly by spilling to a tmpfile and resolving it back, but the resolved stdout then exceeds runGsdTools' maxBuffer and the helper reports ENOBUFS. It now uses --pick so stdout stays one byte while the full 1MB document is still read and parsed end to end. * fix(#2790): wire containment across every document read this command drives An isolated security review of the containment control found the boundary logic sound but not comprehensively wired: two content reads reached the filesystem without it. An escaped phase DIRECTORY could enumerate external filenames into the file fields and diagnostic subjects. Both enumeration sites now containment-check the directory before reading. Worth recording that the leak was already prevented one layer earlier than the review claimed: Dirent#isDirectory() reports false for a directory symlink, so such a directory never becomes a phase row at all. The guard is defense-in-depth for a direct caller and for platforms where a reparse point reports as a directory. A *-VERIFICATION.md symlinked outside the root leaked one frontmatter value verbatim, because readVerificationStatus does its own read and copies an unrecognized status into the payload's next_action. Closed from the consumer side through that function's existing fs injection seam, so src/verification.cts keeps its signature and its other callers are untouched. The reviewer additionally rated a forged status: passed as an integrity bypass. It is not: anyone able to plant the symlink can plant a real VERIFICATION.md saying the same thing. The incremental risk is confidentiality, which is what these fixes close. src/plan-scan.cts is deliberately unchanged: isPlanSuperseded reads symlink-followed content but yields only a derived boolean, no document text. * test(#2790): give the mutation shards an in-process surface Two Stryker shards were CANCELLED at the 15-minute cap, not failed on score. CI log: 640 mutants instrumented, and the dry run reported 'Ran 1 tests in 20 seconds' because the shards pointed at the integration suite, where nearly every case spawns a gsd-tools subprocess and Stryker's command runner treats the whole test-runner invocation as a single test. 640 x 20s cannot finish in 15 minutes; at the kill it was 27/640 with an ETA over an hour. Every other COVERED module points at a property or unit file, and the workflow's own paths filter lists exactly those two patterns. In-process is the intended mutation surface; the shards were pointed at the wrong shape of test. Adds tests/planning-inspect.unit.test.cjs — 39 cases in 10 describes that spawn nothing and call the built modules directly. plan-document and the router need no filesystem at all, one being a pure content-to-object parser and the other taking an injected mock. The three shards now point here. The 91-case integration suite is untouched and still runs in the normal test job. * chore(#2790): ratchet mutation floors to the measured CI scores CI run 32392791843 measured all three shards, which is the only source the registry accepts — local runs count timeouts as kills and inflate badly. planning-command-router 95.65 -> floor 94 plan-document 76.58 -> floor 75 planning-inspect 57.03 -> floor 56 Applied the registry's own rule, floor(score) - 1, and updated RATCHET_BASELINE to match, since the ratchet test enforces equality. planning-inspect sits well below the file's target of 80 and is the obvious ratchet candidate as its tests improve. planning-command-router already exceeds the target. The placeholder comment about floors pending measurement is removed rather than left standing as a false statement. --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>	2026-08-20 13:42:43 -04:00

Tom Boucher	79781e68eb	enhance(#2401): ground verify-command paths and inherit prior-phase commands (#3678) ... * 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 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * 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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * 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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * 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.

Regenerated with npm run gen:install-tree; the delta is exactly the two new reference paths per runtime, no removals.

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.

Tom Boucher	1adf6d2245	fix(#3620): point the docs at files that actually exist (#3658) ... * fix(3620): point the docs at files that actually exist docproof found 34 stale references; the reporter hand-read all 34 and reported the 8 that are real, explaining why the other 26 are deliberate (files the documents themselves label legacy or "superseded by", and one pre-Diataxis link label whose target still resolves). Those 26 are left alone — re-touching them would contradict the issue's own analysis. Every claim was re-verified against git ls-files at HEAD before editing. docs/INVENTORY.md said its roster is anchored by six drift-control tests. Five are gone (commands-doc-parity, agents-doc-parity, cli-modules-doc-parity, hooks-doc-parity in 5d8a8c4d; command-count-sync in fbf30792), so the sentence now names the one that exists. Whether one test is sufficient coverage is a maintainer question the issue explicitly declined to answer, so no new drift tests are proposed here. The four translations were a revision further behind, each naming a seventh test deleted in ae8bb707 that the English file had already dropped. All four now match. Renamed targets corrected in CONTEXT.md, VERSIONING.md, docs/CONFIGURATION.md and the update workflow. The new test names carry no issue-NNN- prefix, which is what lint-regression-test-names requires, so they are the correct targets. docs/TESTING-SUITES.md is the one that could cost somebody time: it INSTRUCTED contributors to add an acknowledgment to the legacy drift-ack file, which CONTRIBUTING.md says to never use. Rewritten from the real workflow — per-PR fragments under the drift-acks directory, and a spent base-side ack is re-armed by rewording that fragment's reason in place, never by adding a duplicate, since two sources naming one path is a hard error. docs/skills/discovery-contract.md's heading named a query module deleted in 11918dcc. The section was REMOVED rather than retargeted: its documented behavior (skip the deprecated root) is not what the surviving code does — skill-manifest includes that root marked deprecated:true — so retargeting would have documented something false. Found and fixed inline, same class: VERSIONING.md described an SDK bundling step the release workflow does not have (zero such mentions in that file); CONFIGURATION.md and four translations named a dead model-catalog triple collapsed by ADR-457. Dead config removed: the changeset lint's user-facing prefix list still carried two retired sdk entries. git ls-files -- 'sdk/*' returns nothing. No test pins that array. Left deliberately: the comment explaining the retired catalog path, the install regression test that reconstructs the old broken layout to prove it fails, and the generated test-timings cache. Each is a legitimate mention of a dead path, not drift. Note lint-removed-but-needed cannot catch this class: it diffs baseRef...HEAD, so it only sees files deleted in the change under review. These were orphaned by PRs that predate the lint. A repo-wide existence audit would need a suppression mechanism for the 26 deliberate mentions above; that is a feature, not part of this fix.

Tom Boucher	bf2332e67c	fix(#3582): route every hook's compiled-module require through the self-heal build seam (#3629) ... * test(3582): failing-first cold-tree coverage and the seam drift lint On a plugin-channel install the compiled gsd-core/bin/lib/*.cjs are legitimately absent (ADR-457 build-at-publish; the npm package builds before publishing, a raw tree materialization never does). gsd-tools.cjs calls ensureRuntimeBuild() before requiring ./lib; no hook does, so the isolation guard's Cannot-find-module lands in its fail-closed catch and is misreported as an unreadable dispatch-isolation configuration, blocking every executor dispatch. These tests fail on that: cold-tree runs of the isolation guard, statusline, cursor guard and update worker, plus the seam's actionable build error surfacing instead of the generic misreport. Also adds the drift lint the acceptance criteria require, with a fixture proving it CAN fail — a guard never shown to fail is worthless. It is red here by design: it flags today's unfixed hooks, which is exactly the defect. * fix(3582): route every hook's compiled-module require through the self-heal seam RED proven at 5b174b0d: 11 failures — the cold-tree runs for the isolation guard, cursor guard and update worker, the fail-closed-with-actionable-message assertion, and the lint's own real-tree check. The compiled runtime library is produced by build:lib and gitignored (ADR-457, build-at-publish). The npm package builds before publishing; a plugin-marketplace or git-clone install materializes the raw tree and never does, so on that channel those modules are legitimately absent. The self-heal seam added by #2002 exists to heal exactly this, and the CLI entrypoint already calls it — no hook did. The isolation guard's Cannot-find-module therefore landed in its fail-closed catch and was reported as 'could not read or resolve dispatch-isolation configuration', so an ARTIFACT ABSENCE was misdiagnosed as an unreadable project config and every executor dispatch was blocked. All SEVEN affected files now call the seam before their first compiled require. The issue named four; a scan found six; implementing it surfaced a seventh — the shared isolation sentinel helper, used by BOTH guards, which requires two compiled modules itself and would have defeated the guards' own fix on a genuinely cold tree. Same defect class, so fixed here rather than left as a known-broken remainder. Failure posture is deliberately split by hook kind: - Gates (agent isolation guard, cursor subagent start) surface the seam's actionable build error distinctly instead of swallowing it into the generic text, and stay fail-closed — a genuinely unreadable project config still DENIES exactly as before. - Cosmetic and detached hooks (statusline, update worker, update check, update banner) DEGRADE rather than crash: the statusline draws on every render and the worker is a detached process, so a build failure there must not take down the prompt. The npm path is untouched: the seam's already-built fast path returns immediately, so prebuilt installs pay nothing and behave bit-for-bit as before. Adds a drift lint, wired into the CI lint chain, so the invariant is enforced rather than remembered — without it the next hook to add a compiled require reintroduces the class silently. It is proven able to fail: a fixture hook requiring a compiled module without the seam is flagged, and one that uses the seam is not. Verified directly — on the unfixed tree it named all seven offenders; with the fix it passes. While writing the lint's comment stripper, a naive whole-text block-comment regex ate its own fixture, because this repo's comments legitimately spell the compiled-lib glob whose star-slash reads as a comment opener. Rewritten as a line-based scanner with a regression test pinning that case. * fix(3582): test the three untested seam call sites and assert typed reason codes Two independent reviews converged on the same major gap: the fix wired the seam into seven files but only four had cold-tree tests. The adversarial pass put it plainly — deleting the shared isolation-sentinel helper's seam call would not have failed any test in the diff. That file was my own addition beyond the issue's four, so it shipped untested; that is now closed. - Shared isolation-sentinel helper: its seam call is only reached when .planning is NOT directly under cwd, and every existing cold-tree fixture puts it there, so the early return always fired first. Now covered, and proven load-bearing by mutation: with the call removed the spy records zero seam invocations and the test fails. - update-check hook and update-banner hook: cold-tree tests added asserting the DEGRADED VERDICT — the fallback cache filename, and silent suppression when the package name degrades to null — rather than merely 'did not throw'. The banner hook previously had no test file at all. Standards violation fixed: two tests asserted on free-form prose via assert.match against a JSON reason string, which CONTRIBUTING bans by name — its own BAD example is exactly that. The ESLint rule only covers readFileSync/spawnSync text, so tooling did not catch it. Both isolation guards now emit a machine-readable reason_code from a frozen enum, following the repo's existing REASON convention, and the tests assert that instead. The human-readable message is unchanged for operators; only the assertion target moved. The duplicated degrade boilerplate across the three cosmetic hooks was deliberately NOT extracted, and the reason is recorded at each site: both viable shapes — a path-parameterized helper, or a ceremony-only wrapper — defeat the drift lint's per-file literal co-occurrence check, so extracting would require the lint to special-case its own helper. Triplication is the lesser evil while the lint stays a co-occurrence scan. The lint's header now states what it does and does not catch (literal quoted requires only; hooks/ scan root), so a future reader does not over-trust a guard that a concatenated path or a require inside a non-hooks helper would evade. * chore(3582): regenerate the committed install-tree fixtures Adding a new shipped hook helper changed the install tree, and those fixtures are committed-and-derived (regen:derived / gen:install-tree), so 12 'install tree — <runtime>' tests failed on 541a1913. Regenerated rather than hand-edited. The delta across all 15 runtime fixtures is exactly two lines — the new helper under both its hooks/ and gsd-hooks/ install paths — and nothing else, so the regeneration pulled in no unrelated drift. This is the bookkeeping ripple a new file under hooks/ carries; it was not visible from lint:ci, which passed both before and after. * chore(3582): backfill changeset PR number (#3629) --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>	2026-08-18 14:11:23 -04:00

A scenario whose declared expect failed therefore produced ok:false and violations:1 in the report while the ratchet printed "0 violations" and exited 0. multi-workstream has failed that way on every CI run since 2026-08-10, when #3217 (PR #3318) made computeProgressPercent withhold a percentage whose scope is not COMPLETE. The walk detected the change the day it landed; nothing was listening. - collectFindings returns a third bucket, expectationFailures, carrying no fingerprint so it can never be baselined or acked away - both modes of main() print and gate on it; the summary line reports it - guard runMain(main) behind require.main === module, so the QA suite can require the script to test collectFindings without running a real walk (that import side effect is why the gate logic had no test) - multi-workstream now asserts the true contract: phase_scope unreadable and percent null, per ADR-3180 7.6 rule 4 - the perturbation test asserts scenario ok, closing the test-side half Closes #3597 * fix(#3597): resolve the milestone window against the active workstream listMilestonePhaseDirs defaulted its ws option to null. planningDir treats undefined as "resolve the ambient workstream" and null as "force the project root", so that default suppressed the ambient resolution every other planning-path read uses. All 18 call sites derive phasesDir ambiently via planningPaths(cwd), so the counts came from the workstream while the milestone window came from the root .planning/ROADMAP.md — the exact numerator/denominator scope split ADR-3180 7.6 rule 3 forbids. workstream create migrates that root roadmap away, so the read threw and scope stayed UNREADABLE, and rule 4 then correctly withheld the percentage. Proof: with a workstream tree byte-unchanged, copying its own ROADMAP to the project root flipped --ws alpha progress from phase_scope:unreadable/percent:null to complete/100. This is the defect the loop QA walk was pointing at all along; the scenario expectation is restored to percent:100 rather than bent to match the bug. - pass ws through as undefined so ambient resolution applies - multi-workstream asserts phase_scope complete + percent 100 - regression test in completion-ratio-scope-withholding covers a workstream-only project with no root ROADMAP - replace the vacuous require.main test: runMain defers through a promise, so the in-process timing check passed against the unguarded file too; a child-process spawn now observes the guard for real - tie the oracle-violation test to expectationFailures, and cover the absent-key, multi-scenario and zero-step report shapes in parity - flatten scenario-authored strings before rendering them into the step summary and CI logs (forged markdown / ANSI injection) - widen the scenario contract assertions past perturbation-* so multi-workstream is actually covered test-side Closes #3597 * fix(#3597): flatten scenario-authored strings on the CI-log output path The step-summary path already routed findings through flattenUntrusted; the check-mode NEW-smell and STALE-entry console.error blocks, and the repro line in both printers, still interpolated raw. detail carries a scenario-authored expect[].path verbatim, and reason/scenario/id come from contributor-authored baseline and ack fragments validated only as non-empty strings. A crafted path could print a forged summary line into the CI log directly above the real one, plus ANSI repaint and unbounded length. Exit codes are unaffected — this is log spoofing, not gate bypass. * fix(#3597): refuse to archive on an unreadable milestone window; close review gaps Resolving the milestone window against the active workstream can leave the window UNREADABLE when that workstream has no ROADMAP of its own. getMilestonePhaseFilter throws, the window degrades to a pass-all fallback, and milestone complete would then move every phase dir -- breaking the guarantee stated at the archive site that no out-of-window directory is touched. milestone complete now refuses to archive when the window is UNREADABLE and reports the refusal; --dry-run previews the same refusal from the same shared derivation. The guard is scoped to UNREADABLE, not to every non-COMPLETE scope. A broader condition regressed ordinary root projects: the QA walk caught milestone-rollover leaving 01-parser on disk, which then tripped the #1447 abort in phases clear.

Rows pin the lookup, the scope probe, the analyzer, schema discrimination against the canonical RoadmapProgress table, fenced-example exclusion, heading+table union without double-count, decimal ids, and the 999 icebox exclusion. * fix(#3577): recognize markdown-table phase rows across the enumeration family A GFM table whose header leads with Phase and whose data rows carry the id in the first cell is a phase listing — the #2199 bullet blind spot's table sibling. collectTablePhaseRows (schema-discriminated against the canonical RoadmapProgress table via matchTableSchema, fence-aware via stripFencedCode, digit-bearing id shape, 999 icebox excluded) now feeds: the milestone filter's sole owner scanMilestonePhaseIds, window classification hasPhaseEntries, both roadmap lookup chains (getRoadmapPhaseInternal + cmdRoadmapGetPhase, as last-resort tiers after heading and bullet), and roadmap analyze's enumerator (with the same disk enrichment contract as headings and a zero-pad-tolerant duplicate guard). init.phase-op resolves through its existing getRoadmapPhaseInternal fallback. * fix(#3577): GFM table termination + icebox word boundary in the table scan Review findings: the row harvest broke only on blank lines, so prose after a table (a bare date line) could be harvested as a phase id — rows now stop at the first non-row line per GFM semantics; the 999 icebox exclusion gains the heading scan's word boundary so 9991 is kept. * fix(#3577): sanction collectTablePhaseRows in the enumeration drift scanner The scan's local 999-only exclusion mirrors its parent owner scanMilestonePhaseIds' deliberate NOT-isSentinelPhaseId choice (a leading 0 is a real decimal phase, #2554), so it cannot route through the sentinel owner — function-scoped exemption with the documented reason, same entry shape as the #3262 owner's. * chore(#3577): add changeset fragment * chore(#3577): backfill changeset pr number --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>	2026-08-17 16:50:24 -04:00

Tom Boucher	c5b83cb050	chore(#3560): delete two unreachable workflows, gate workflow reachability in lint (#3564) ... * chore(#3560): delete two unreachable workflows, gate reachability in lint discovery-phase.md and plan-milestone-gaps.md shipped to all 19 runtime install trees with no command, agent, or skill referencing them. plan-milestone-gaps' command was deleted by #2790 and the workflow was left behind; discovery-phase's own header claimed a caller in plan-phase.md's mandatory_discovery step, and that step does not exist — plan-phase.md contains zero occurrences of "discovery". docs/INVENTORY.md asserted discovery-phase.md was an alternate entry for /gsd-new-project. new-project.md never referenced it. The row and the matching note sentence are removed across all five locales rather than corrected. Adds rule 6 to lint-command-contract: every shipped workflow must be reachable from a loader, walking the transitive closure over the three reference shapes this repo uses. The closure seeds ONLY from commands/agents/skills, so a workflow that references only itself and a pair that reference only each other are both correctly reported rather than satisfying themselves; a visited set makes reference cycles terminate. The measure is a mention in a LOADER — docs/ and install-tree fixtures deliberately do not count, because scan.md proved a file can be documented and shipped while entirely unreached. Ships blocking, not report-only: #3561 is in this branch's base, so the tree reports 0 unreachable from the start. Closes #3560 * test(#3560): drive rule 6 end-to-end, sweep a stale allowlist, update ADR-0002 Review findings. Rule 6 had no end-to-end coverage: the tests exercised the pure closure with in-memory data, so the wiring — file collection, exit code, diagnostic — was unproven, and #3560's acceptance list explicitly wants a fixture showing the rule FAILS on a planted orphan. Adds an optional --root to lint-command-contract (default behavior unchanged) and four tests driving the real CLI through the process seam against a temp fixture: clean=0, planted orphan=1, orphan referenced only from docs/=1, orphan reachable transitively=0. The docs/ case is what pins the Goodhart defense — a mention outside a loader must not confer reachability. Deletes two tests that were byte-identical to a third and could not assert anything loader-specific, since the closure is source-agnostic by design; that distinction lives in the lint script's file collection and is now covered above. Removes a stale ALLOWLIST entry for discovery-phase.md in planner-language-regression — the exact sweep-miss class rule 6 exists to catch, found in the PR that adds the rule. ADR-0002 described five per-file frontmatter checks; rule 6 is a repo-level reachability graph, so the Decision section now says so. Refs #3560 * test(#3560): cut the bug-3298 test pin on the deleted plan-milestone-gaps workflow The remote runner went red with four failures: tests/phase.test.cjs asserted the plan-milestone-gaps workflow exists and checked its mkdir patterns, so deleting the file broke the test that pinned it. This is the fence the epic describes — the content-sync test IS what keeps an unreachable file alive — and cutting the coupling is what makes the deletion safe. Removes only that arm. The bug-3298 block guards three workflows against phase-dir prefix drift; the import and add-backlog arms and both shared mkdir-pattern helpers are untouched. Worth recording where the sweep failed: my reachability walk covered commands, agents, skills, gsd-core and docs, and lint-removed-but-needed covers .github/workflows, gsd-core, docs and package.json. Neither looks at tests/, so a test-pinned deletion is invisible to both and surfaces only on the remote runner. The how-to added by this PR names that gap explicitly so the next deletion searches tests/ by hand.

Same class as epic #1891's F8/F9: dispatch keyed on a token that never arrives. Adds workflowPathRefs() to command-contract-helpers.cjs — one shared pure resolver for the three reference shapes this repo uses (eager @-include, lazy absolute-ish path, lazy parent-relative steps//modes/ path). Placing it in the helpers module keeps the lint script and the test suite reading the same definition, which is what that module exists for; #3560 consumes the same function rather than re-deriving it. Tests 16/17 are RED until the routing fix lands. Refs #3561 * fix(#3561): route --fast to a scan.md path the runtime can resolve commands/gsd/map-codebase.md documented --fast and told the agent to "run the scan workflow", but named no path and included only map-codebase.md in execution_context, so gsd-core/workflows/scan.md was never loaded and the single-agent scan was improvised. Names the path in the routing line so it is read on demand, rather than adding an eager @-include: --fast is the minority path and the progressive-disclosure split (#717) exists to keep the common full-map invocation from paying for it. The accompanying test pins that choice — execution_context must still carry exactly one @-ref. skills/gsd-map-codebase/SKILL.md is regenerated, not hand-edited. Closes #3561 * fix(#3561): bound the .md match and bind the regression test to the --fast line Two majors from the isolated adversarial review. Both resolver regexes ended at a literal .md with no trailing boundary, so a longer extension was truncated into a plausible-looking but wrong path: workflows/foobar.mdx returned workflows/foobar.md. Adds a (?![A-Za-z0-9_]) lookahead to both shapes so .mdx and .md5 are rejected outright rather than silently rewritten. The regression test scanned the whole command file, so it did not bind to the defect — the reviewer showed that an unrelated comment mentioning scan.md anywhere made it pass while the dispatch defect was still present. It now extracts the "- If it is `--fast`" bullet and scans that line alone, and a new test drives a synthetic pre-fix fixture to prove the false-pass path is closed.

Tom Boucher	1591454357	feat(#3409): reject shell guards that cannot observe their own failure arm (#3558) ... * test(#3409): failing-first regression tests for unreachable shell guard arms Drives the three live defects fail-first, executing the shipped workflow snippets rather than a re-typed copy: - G1/G2 plan-phase.md Walking Skeleton gate reads `--pick summaries_total`, a field that does not exist, so PRIOR_SUMMARIES is always "" and the gate has never fired (#3365). G2 is the load-bearing negative-space case: it rejects a fix that treats "no answer" as "zero" and fires unconditionally. - G3 plan-phase.md PHASE_REQ_IDS resolves "" instead of the TBD sentinel on a phase with zero requirements. - G4 complete-milestone.md's bare `cat <glob>` blocks on stdin under a nullglob left set by an earlier block (measured hang). Skipped on Windows for G4 only: the FIFO-blocked-stdin mechanism is POSIX only, and a weakened assertion there would pass vacuously. Refs #3409 * fix(#3409): make nine shell guards observe their own failure arm `--pick` coerces a missing field to empty string and exits 0, so the `|| echo <default>` fallback after it fires only on a verb typo, never on the field absence it was written for. Nine sites relied on that arm. - plan-phase.md walking-skeleton gate: `--pick summaries_total` names a field that does not exist under any flag combination, so the gate has never fired on any project (#3365). Repointed at the existing single owner, `phases.list --type summaries --pick count`, which returns a real integer in every case including a project with no `.planning` directory. No new counter is added: a second one would duplicate the ownership ADR-3180 Decision 1 forbids. The gate now fires only on a literal "0", so an unanswerable query fails safe instead of entering skeleton mode. - plan-phase.md phase_req_ids: now falls back to the documented TBD. - The remaining seven convert to an explicit empty test. - complete-milestone.md read all phase summaries through a bare `cat <glob>`; under a nullglob left set by an earlier block that is zero operands, so cat blocks on stdin. Guarded with the array shape the #3300 fix already established in review.md. Refs #3409 * fix(#3409): guard eleven more globs that defeat their own fallback arm The nullglob audit this issue asks for turned up the same class in files #3300 never touched. - Eight bare `cat <glob>` reads (transition, complete-milestone, planner x4, verifier, phase-researcher). With nullglob set that is zero operands, so cat reads stdin and blocks; measured rc=137 at 3s. - Three `ls <glob> || echo "<message>"` sites (session-report, review-backlog and its generated skill). nullglob makes ls succeed listing the cwd, so the message never prints and the user gets a directory listing instead. Guarded with `[ -e "${_ARR[0]}" ]` rather than `[ ${#_ARR[@]} -gt 0 ]`. The count form is correct only when nullglob is set, and six of these seven files never set it: without it the array holds the unmatched literal pattern, so the count is 1 and the guard passes wrongly. `-e` is correct in both worlds. review.md keeps its count guards — that block sets nullglob two lines above them. skills/gsd-review-backlog regenerated from commands/, never hand-edited. Refs #3409 * feat(#3409): add the unreachable-shell-guard drift lint A sibling of lint-planning-prompt-drift.cjs, consuming the shared scripts/lib/drift-scan.cjs rather than copying it, wired into lint:ci. Both detectors are one shape — a fallback arm defeated by a legitimate success-on-empty: - Detector A: `--pick` and `|| echo` on one line. `--pick` is the discriminator because "missing field renders empty at exit 0" is a documented CLI contract, not a heuristic. A rule keyed on gsd_run matched 111 lines, ~132 of them legitimate, and was rejected. - Detector B: `cat <glob>` in command position, and `ls <glob>` whose exit code feeds a real fallback or an if/while head. Informational `ls <glob>` whose stdout is consumed (97 sites) and `|| true` failure suppression (~15) are not guards and never fire. Shrink-only ratchet keyed on (file, trimmed text) with a per-pair count, POSIX-normalized unconditionally so Windows CI cannot report everything fresh and stale at once. Ships with a ZERO-entry baseline: every site it can find is fixed. Exemption is the per-line `# gsd-scan-ignore: #NNN` marker whose reason must name an issue or URL; a malformed reason reports a distinct error rather than silently exempting. No file allowlists. ADR-3409 records the invariant, the measurements behind both detectors, and why the upstream `--pick` contract fix belongs to #3473. Refs #3409 * fix(#3409): resolve review findings — typed surface, sanitized reports, tighter marker Standards axis (blocker): the guard's tests asserted on human-readable stdout/stderr and on free-form baseline-load prose, which CONTRIBUTING prohibits by name. Added the typed surface it prescribes instead of weakening the tests: a frozen REASON enum, a --json report mode, structured loadBaseline errors, and a test locking Object.keys(REASON) so a new reason stays three coordinated changes. Security axis: sanitizeForReport covered every violation field but not the baseline-load error path, which embeds raw JSON.stringify output -- that escapes nothing above 0x1f, so bidi and C1 controls reached CI logs unfiltered. Routed through the sanitizer at the output seam. Security axis: the scan-ignore marker accepted `#0` and a bare `http://`. Tightened to a positive issue number and a URL with a host. This diverges deliberately from the sibling in tests/commit-files-pathspec.test.cjs, whose looser form was copied verbatim; the header now records the divergence. Security axis: G4 built its FIFO with `mktemp -u`, reserving a name without creating it. Now created inside a `mktemp -d` directory. Spec axis: ADR-3409 claimed a ninth site landed after the issue was filed. git blame disproves it -- all nine predate it; the issue's hand count missed one. Corrected. The design and test matrix still specified B9 as a FLAG after implementation reversed it to PASS; both now record the reversal and why. Refs #3409 * docs(#3409): add the how-to for resolving unreachable-guard findings Reference and Explanation are carried by ADR-3409; this is the task-oriented quadrant CI cannot check for. The page exists mainly for one thing the lint structurally cannot catch: both `[ -e "${_ARR[0]}" ]` and `[ ${#_ARR[@]} -gt 0 ]` remove the glob from the command and therefore both pass, but the count form is correct only when nullglob is set — and nullglob is usually set in a different block of the same file. A reference table cannot carry that; a how-to can. Also documents the reason codes, so a reader can tell "nothing to report" from "could not look". No tutorial: this is a gate inside an existing CI loop, not a new entry point a newcomer starts from. Refs #3409 * fix(#3409): bring the touched prompt files back under their size gates The remote run was red on 14 tests, all size/attribution, none of them the regression suite. - agents/gsd-planner.md was 194 chars over a 49152 cap enforced by four separate tests, each of which says the remedy is extraction, not a bump. It had 41 chars of headroom before this branch. Its `## Checkpoint Types` section was an unlinked, condensed duplicate of references/checkpoints.md, which already carries all three types and their XML shapes; the section now points there and keeps the three names and percentages inline. Net -969, margin 1010. - gsd-core/workflows/execute-phase.md sat 2 chars under a comfortable margin assertion. Dropped the AUTO_MODE default: the `|| echo "false"` it replaced was unreachable, so the value was already sometimes empty on next, and its only consumer compares against `true`. Net -16. Left plan-phase.md's AUTO_CHAIN default alone -- that file names an explicit `false` branch, so empty would match neither branch. - Acknowledged the seven prompt files that genuinely grew, one specific reason each. Five of those paths were already claimed by spent fragments identical to next, which blocks a second source naming the same path; removed just the colliding key from each, deleting the two that this emptied. Refs #3409 * test(#3409): extract the whole PHASE_REQ_IDS block, not just its first line G3 failed on the remote runner with '' !== 'TBD'. The test was wrong, not the workflow. The shipped contract is now two consecutive lines -- the capture and the `${PHASE_REQ_IDS:-TBD}` default -- but the helper's `^PREFIX=.*$` regex returns only the first match, so the test executed half the contract and correctly observed the empty string. Renamed to extractAssignmentBlockFor and taught it to consume the contiguous run of lines sharing the prefix. The assertion is untouched: TBD is the right expectation, and weakening it to accept the empty string would have reinstated exactly the class this suite exists to catch -- a check that cannot observe the thing it is checking. extractFencedBashAfterAnchor is unaffected: it is fence-delimited rather than line-anchored, so G1/G2/G4 still capture their full blocks. Refs #3409 * chore(#3409): drop a spent ack fragment that collided on complete-milestone.md #3458 landed on next while this branch was in flight and its fragment claims complete-milestone.md, which this branch also grows. Two ack sources may never name the same path. Its entry is spent: the +9163 it explains is already absorbed at base, so it can no longer clear anything, and the checker's own guidance for spent entries is to delete them. Removing the key emptied the fragment, so the file goes too -- an empty one signals nothing. Refs #3409 * chore(#3409): backfill changeset pr number 3558 * test(#3409): hoist a regex subject out of exec() to clear the injection scan CI's prompt-injection scan flagged `MARKER_RE.exec('# gsd-scan-ignore: ...')`. The pattern `exec[[:space:]]*\(["']` is receiver-blind on purpose, so it catches `require('child_process').exec('...')` -- and the scanner's own header records that RegExp.prototype.exec is collateral, to be handled by its allowlist. Allowlisting the file would blind it to the real exec vector permanently, so the subject is hoisted into a const instead: same assertion, scanner left at full strength, no security surface widened.

Tom Boucher	abf3cf7c25	fix(#3458): scan archived milestone phases, and make [A] Acknowledge actually suppress (#3555) ... * fix(#3458): scan archived milestone phases in the four audit-open scanners `query audit-open` resolved exactly one phase root, `.planning/phases/`. When a milestone closes its phase directories move to `.planning/milestones/v<X.Y>-phases/`, so an item still unresolved at that moment — the `[R]/[A]/[C]` prompt accepts "accept" and "carry forward", not only "resolve" — became invisible to the v1.1 pre-close audit and every audit after it. The window in which an unresolved item is visible to this gate was exactly one milestone wide, and nothing announced when it closed. Reproduced before fixing, with byte-identical artifacts in the two layouts and the active layout as the control: active → has_open_items=true deferred=1 uat_gaps=1 total=2 archived → has_open_items=false deferred=0 uat_gaps=0 total=0 `scanDeferredItems`' own doc comment names this as the thing it was built to prevent — "phase directories archive to `milestones/vX.Y-phases/` (#1871) and the entry leaves the live tree having never been triaged" — while the implementation eleven lines below cannot read that path. It catches an entry at its own milestone close and goes blind at precisely the transition the comment describes. This is not cosmetic under-reporting. `auditOpenArtifacts` sums all nine category counts into `counts.total` and returns `has_open_items: counts.total > 0`, so four blind scanners can flip the gate's headline boolean and let `/gsd-complete-milestone` assert a clean close it never verified. In a fully-archived project `.planning/phases/` may not exist at all, and the scanners' `if (!fs.existsSync(phasesDir)) return []` produced a value indistinguishable from "nothing is open". ## One enumeration, not four The four scanners each hand-rolled the same active-only walk. They now share `listAuditPhaseTargets(planDir, cwd)`, which yields both roots — the shape of fix epic #3473's B2 asks for, and the reason the fix is one seam rather than four edits. Three properties are load-bearing: * the ACTIVE enumeration is unchanged — still a raw `readdirSync`, NOT `listMilestonePhaseDirs`. These scanners are deliberately not milestone-filtered today, and switching would silently add window and sentinel filtering: a behavior change belonging to #3372, not here. * a missing or unreadable active root skips that half instead of returning early. That early return WAS the bug in a fully-archived project. * archived dirs are deliberately NOT milestone-filtered, per the comment `src/uat.cts` already carries: archived phases belong to past milestones by definition, so applying the current-milestone filter discards every one and silently reinstates this bug. Each item now carries `archived_milestone` when it comes from a closed milestone, matching how the sibling module already labels archived results — without it an operator triaging `[R]/[A]/[C]` cannot tell a live item from one carried over. Additive: no existing test or doc asserted an exact key set. `scripts/lint-phase-enumeration-drift.cjs`'s exemption list for this file drops from the four scanner names to the single helper, since that is now the only place the enumeration lives. ## Tests Written failing-first and confirmed red for the right reason before the fix, all four driven through the real `audit-open` CLI rather than private functions: archived-only (was 0/0/0/0 with `has_open_items=false`, now 1/1/1/1 true), mixed active+archived (was 1/1/1/1 — the archived half dropped — now 2/2/2/2), active-only unchanged, and an all-resolved archived phase contributing 0. That last one passed vacuously before the fix, because the archived path was not reached at all; it was re-verified as genuinely discriminating afterward by flipping one archived item to unresolved and watching the count rise. Closes #3458 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3458): restore the scan_error sentinel and show archive provenance Adversarial review found one BLOCKER that the previous revision introduced, which a green remote-runner suite did not catch because nothing in the tree asserts `scan_error` at all. ## The regression Consolidating four hand-rolled walks into `listAuditPhaseTargets` swallowed the active-root `readdirSync` throw in a bare `catch {}`. Pre-fix each scanner returned `[{scan_error: true, …}]`; after, each returned `[]`. Measured with `.planning/phases` created as a FILE (so `existsSync` passes and `readdirSync` throws ENOTDIR): before this fix: uat_gaps/verification_gaps/context_questions/deferred_items each `[{"scan_error":true,…}]` the regression: each `[]` `complete-milestone.md` re-runs `audit-open --json` and reads those counts, so a machine consumer could no longer tell "I/O failed" from "verified clean" — the exact conflation this issue exists to remove, reintroduced on the failure path. `listAuditPhaseTargets` now reports `activeUnreadable` and each scanner pushes the sentinel shape recovered verbatim from `origin/next`, not reinvented. The docstring claiming the active enumeration was "UNCHANGED" was false while that sentinel was missing, and is corrected to state what is actually preserved. An unreadable ARCHIVED root deliberately gets NO sentinel: there was no archived read before, so there is no consumer contract to preserve, and adding one would conflate the ordinary "no milestones archived yet" state with a real I/O failure. ## The operator could not see the archive `formatAuditReport` is the surface the gate actually shows a human — `complete-milestone.md` runs it without `--json` — and it never rendered `archived_milestone`. With `01-alpha` in both roots the identical line printed twice with nothing to tell them apart, and `[R] Resolve` sends the operator to `.planning/phases/01-alpha/` where the archived one does not exist. Phase numbering restarts at `01` after each archive, so that collision is the common case, not an edge case. All four loops now render ` (archived vX.Y)`; active lines stay byte-identical. ## Archived milestones sorted wrong `getArchivedPhaseDirs` ordered milestones with `.sort().reverse()` — lexicographic, so `v1.9` outranked `v1.10`. Measured order for v1.0/v1.9/v1.10 was `v1.9, v1.10, v1.0`. Now a numeric-segment descending compare. Pre-existing, but this change is what first surfaces it in audit output. ## Tests The blocker's regression test fails against the previous revision. Added: `archived_milestone` present on archived items and absent (not `undefined`) on active ones; the unreadable-active-root sentinel across all four categories; an unreadable archived root still leaving the active half scanned; the duplicate-name case producing two distinct entries that the human report distinguishes; and the v1.10-before-v1.9 ordering. `docs/COMMANDS.md` documents the archived scanning and the new field. Closes #3458 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3458): stop filesystem names forging lines in the audit report Found by the security review of this branch. Pre-existing on `next`, fixed here because it defeats the exact gate this PR is hardening. `audit-open`'s human report is the surface `/gsd-complete-milestone` shows an operator to decide whether a milestone may close. A `.planning/` tree authored by someone other than that operator — a cloned repo — could contain a directory literally named: zz<newline>0 open items require decisions.<newline><ESC>[2K<ESC>[1G FORGED and the report printed `0 open items require decisions.` as its own line, with raw ESC bytes reaching stdout able to erase or overwrite the lines above it. Reproduced against the real CLI before fixing, and again after. ## Why not just harden sanitizeForDisplay Because that helper's contract is multi-line prose — it removes protocol-leak lines while deliberately preserving the newlines between legitimate ones, which `tests/security.test.cjs` pins. Stripping CR/LF there would have broken a correct test to paper over a different problem. The two jobs are genuinely different, so there are now two helpers. New `sanitizeLabel` (`src/security.cts`) is for values that are semantically ONE LINE and derived from a filesystem NAME. It ESCAPES rather than strips C0 (including ESC/CR/LF), DEL and C1, so a doctored name renders visibly as `\n` / `\x1b` instead of being silently normalized — the report stays honest about what is in the tree. Ordinary input passes through byte-identical. ## Nine sites, not four The first pass covered the four phase-scoped scanners. A sweep of the rest of the file found the identical class in five more — `scanDebugSessions`, `scanQuickTasks`, `scanThreads`, `scanTodos`, `scanSeeds` — emitting name-derived `slug` / `filename` / `seed_id` through the prose sanitizer. `scanQuickTasks`' `date` had no sanitization call at all. Every emitted field in the file is now classified and the sweep recorded: `slug`, `filename`, `seed_id`, `phase`, `file`, `archived_milestone`, `date` are name-derived and take `sanitizeLabel`; `hypothesis`, `status`, `updated`, `title`, `priority`, `area`, `summary`, `questions[]` and deferred-item `text` are content and keep `sanitizeForDisplay`. No name-derived value reaches output unsanitized. `--json` was already safe — JSON string encoding escapes control characters, and a crafted name cannot break out of the string. Verified rather than assumed. Closes #3458 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(#3458): backfill changeset pr number * test(#3458): skip control-character fixtures where the OS forbids the name CI red on `test (windows-latest, 24, shard 1/3)`: the four forgery-rejection tests build directories whose names embed a newline and ESC, and NTFS forbids control characters in path components, so `mkdir` threw ENOENT. The remote runner is Linux-only, so it could not have caught this class. Semantically the skip is honest rather than a workaround: on Windows the directory-name forgery vector does not exist, because the OS refuses to create the name. The sanitizer's own behavior stays covered there by the `sanitizeLabel` unit tests, which are pure string tests with no filesystem calls — verified. Uses the repo's established capability-probe convention (`tests/adr-index-gate.test.cjs`'s `trySymlink`), which `t.skip()`s on the real errno rather than branching on `process.platform`, and whose comment gives the reason: a bare `return` "would silently report a PASS ... and hide the gap this guard exists to close". A skipped test is visibly skipped. Swept every test added on this branch for names Windows would reject or POSIX path assumptions; these four were the only ones. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(#3458): make [A] Acknowledge actually suppress, without overwriting a verdict Making archived phases visible exposed the other half of the problem: an item unresolved at a milestone close now resurfaces at every later close forever, because `[A] Acknowledge` wrote a prose block to STATE.md that `auditOpenArtifacts` never reads. `verified_closeout` became unreachable and the gate degraded to a mandatory `[A]` every time. ## The prompt does not change `[A] Acknowledge all` already promises "document as deferred and proceed with close". It documented but never deferred. This makes `[A]` do what it says. `[R]` and `[C]` stay abort paths. No "carry forward" option is invented — an item that is not acknowledged simply keeps surfacing, which is the default. ## The marker lives inside the artifact Not a ledger. The audit mints no ids and has no stable identity — `phase` is a token that collides across directories, `file` for deferred items is a constant, and identity otherwise degrades to the item's own prose after a lossy sanitizer. Any ledger must re-derive that key every close, so a reworded item silently un-suppresses or, worse, mis-suppresses a different one. Storing the acknowledgment next to the thing it suppresses makes that class of bug structurally impossible, and it is the pattern `src/uat.cts` already argues for with `deferred-items.md`'s in-place `status: resolved`. ## The marker is verdict-preserving and self-invalidating `status:` is never overwritten — writing `resolved` into an unresolved UAT would be a lie in the artifact of record, and the disclosure has to be additive. audit_acknowledged: milestone: v1.0 at: 2026-08-15 status: gaps_found # snapshot of what was true when acknowledged Suppression applies ONLY while the snapshot still matches reality: `status` for seven categories, `question_count` for context questions, and for deferred items a new per-entry `status: acknowledged` distinct from `resolved`, which keeps meaning "actually fixed". Change the artifact and the acknowledgment stops applying, so the item comes back on its own. That is what makes re-opening answer itself with no extra state, and it fails in the safe direction: a stale acknowledgment can never hide a NEW problem. A malformed marker is treated as absent — a bad marker must never silence an item. The check is ONE shared `isAuditItemAcknowledged`, not nine copies. This file has already been through that defect family twice in this PR. ## Observable, not silent `audit-open --json` now reports an `acknowledged` count beside `counts`, so a reviewer can tell a close that is clean because things were fixed from one that is clean because things were silenced. ## Writer New `audit-open acknowledge` verb snapshots current state itself, so the marker is never hand-authored from workflow prose — the gap that left the STATE.md block with no writer, no schema and two conflicting formats. Writes route through the existing path-confinement seam. ## Two deliberate limits, failing closed Heading-delimited deferred entries (#3457) are REFUSED with `unsupported_heading_shape` rather than edited, because mapping a heading entry back to its exact source span is not safely derivable when headless and heading entries interleave in one file. A loud refusal beats a mis-targeted write. A quick task with no summary gets one created to carry the marker, since there is otherwise nowhere to put it. ## Tests Self-invalidation is the important one and is covered per category: acknowledge, then change the status or question count, and the item resurfaces. Also malformed markers not suppressing, `status:` byte-unchanged after acknowledging, the writer refusing a path outside the project, and the four original #3458 scenarios unchanged. Closes #3458 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * feat(#3458): wire [A] to the acknowledge verb and converge the disclosure table Consumer side of the suppression seam. ## The workflow stops hand-authoring the mechanism `[A]` now calls `audit-open acknowledge` once per open item, then writes the STATE.md `## Deferred Items` table as before. The table stays as a human-readable disclosure; it is no longer the mechanism. That closes the gap where the block had no writer, no schema and no reader — the marker is now written by the tool, which snapshots current state itself. The `[R]` / `[A]` / `[C]` prompt is unchanged, `[C]` still means "Cancel — exit without closing", and no carry-forward option is invented. The all-clear branch now distinguishes a close that is clean because items were FIXED from one that is clean because they were ACKNOWLEDGED, using the `acknowledged.total` count, and carries that into the MILESTONES.md disclosure line beside the existing override count. A clean close that was bought with acknowledgments should say so. ## Format drift resolved Two incompatible `## Deferred Items` shapes shipped simultaneously — 3 columns in the workflow, 4 in the template, with different body lines. Converged on one 5-column shape carrying the source Milestone, since archived items now appear and the archived-milestone disambiguator was previously discarded at write time. The workflow enumerates the categories instead of trailing off in `...`. ## Ack fragment bookkeeping `complete-milestone.md` grows 6,764 bytes (31,228 → 37,992; cap 61,440), covered by a new `tests/emitted-drift-acks/3458-*.json`. `2962-zsh-nomatch-for-glob-portability.json`'s `complete-milestone.md` entry is REMOVED — the no-duplicate-path rule hard-blocks two sources naming one path. That entry is spent: the nullglob shim it acknowledges is present in both `origin/next` and the CI emitted baseline `fd2b97a5`, so its ripple is already absorbed and it can never clear anything again — verified directly, not assumed, and the gate's own message directs deleting spent entries. Its other three files' entries are untouched. `scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs` wanted to rewrite `explore.md` as well — pre-existing drift unrelated to this change, reverted. `complete-milestone.md` still carries exactly one canonical preamble. Docs cover the verb's real flag surface, the marker's verdict-preserving and self-invalidating behavior, and the new `acknowledged` count. A second `Added` changeset covers the verb, since the existing `Fixed` fragment describes only the archived-phase scanning. Closes #3458 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3458): close three blockers in the acknowledgment seam Adversarial review of the seam. Three BLOCKERs, one of which disproves a safety claim I published in the PR body, the changeset and the docs. ## The claim was false; the code is fixed rather than the claim softened I wrote that "a stale acknowledgment can never hide a NEW problem". It could. `context_questions` snapshotted only the question COUNT, so replacing two acknowledged questions with two brand-new blockers kept the item suppressed. `uat_gaps` snapshotted only `status`, so adding five more pending scenarios (`open_scenario_count` 1→6) kept it suppressed. The snapshot now identifies CONTENT, not size: a digest of the whole question set, and a status + open-scenario-count composite. Any edit invalidates. The other seven categories were checked and their single tracked dimension is already the whole story. Both disproofs now resurface the item. ## Writing to the wrong line, and reporting success `acknowledgeDeferredItem` built an unanchored regex and exec'd it over the whole file while match-selection and the ambiguity guard ran over the section body only, so the write landed at the first match ANYWHERE. A file with `# Notes` holding `- Fix the parser` above a `## Deferred Items` section holding the same bullet: the CLI exited 0 saying `acknowledged: true`, injected `status: acknowledged` under `# Notes`, and re-audit still reported the entry open. It corrupted unrelated content, suppressed nothing, and claimed success — and since `--file` is unconstrained the same path could inject into a UAT or VERIFICATION body. Matching is now anchored to the selected section, and the matched span is re-verified against the selected entry before any write; a mismatch refuses with `match_verification_failed` rather than writing. ## Acknowledging todos hid the ones never shown `scanTodos` capped at five files and then checked acknowledgment. With seven todos, acknowledging the five that were LISTED drove `todos: 0`, `has_open_items: false`, and items six and seven never appeared in any later scan. The workflow's own "repeat until no todos items" remedy terminates after one pass. Pre-feature this was unreachable because the count was pinned at five. That is silent over-suppression — the exact direction this PR exists to remove. Acknowledged items are now filtered BEFORE the display cap, so unacknowledged todos beyond it still drive the count. ## The [A] branch could not fail closed Every acknowledge call sat in a `cmd | while read` pipeline with no status accumulation, so any refusal was discarded and the close proceeded as `override_closeout`. Separately, `io.output` swaps payloads over 50000 chars for an `@file:<path>` sentinel — every `jq` would then fail, every loop body run zero times, nothing be suppressed, and the close happen anyway. Both closed: failures accumulate across all invocations and halt before close, and the sentinel is dereferenced using the same pattern `verify_readiness` already uses for `INIT_MANAGER`. Quoting was verified sound by the review and is left alone. ## Also Suppression is now visible in the human report, not only `--json` — the "clean because fixed vs clean because silenced" distinction was promised for the surface an operator actually reads. The CRLF-preservation branches in the writer were dead: every `.md` write goes through `_normalizeMd`, which normalizes line endings and blank lines whatever the writer does. Deleted and documented rather than left as code that cannot run. ## Why these shipped The review named it exactly: there was no coverage for `unsupported_heading_shape`, `ambiguous`, `not_found`, duplicate-text mis-targeting, todos beyond the cap, or CRLF. All are now tested, alongside both snapshot disproofs and the mixed-section fixture. Closes #3458 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(#3458): align the items-open footer wording with its assertion Remote runner red on one test: the items-open footer must match `/previously acknowledged item/i`. The disclosure was NOT missing — the items-open branch already printed "N additional items previously acknowledged and still suppressed." The word order simply did not match the regex the test in the same change asserts. A wording mismatch between my own test and my own implementation, not a behavior gap. Reworded to "N previously acknowledged items also suppressed above the M open items", which satisfies the assertion and states the relationship between the two counts more plainly than the original did. Swept `formatAuditReport` for other branches that could skip the tally: the only early return is the all-clear path, which already discloses it. `scan_error` sentinels are filtered per category and excluded from `counts.total`, so an all-error project falls through to that same branch. No inconsistency remains. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3458): splice by carried span, digest the untruncated question set Security review of the writer. Both findings are the same shape, and both are cases where an earlier fix of mine was incomplete in the same direction: a value derived for DISPLAY was reused for an IDENTITY or LOCATION decision. ## Writing to the wrong entry, again The previous fix anchored matching to the `## Deferred Items` SECTION but still re-found the entry inside it with an unanchored regex, so the write landed at the first SUBSTRING occurrence rather than the entry's own span. The `match_verification_failed` guard could not catch it, because the mis-targeted span is byte-identical to the target. Probe-confirmed, in a cloned repo's own artifact: - CRITICAL unfixed auth bypass see also: - minor typo - minor typo Acknowledging "minor typo" appended `status: acknowledged` into the CRITICAL entry, suppressing it at every future close, while the typo stayed open — exit 0, `"acknowledged": true`. A variant where the target text appears inside unrelated prose split that line mid-sentence, acknowledged nothing, and still exited 0, so the workflow's `ACK_FAILURES` halt never fired. Fixed structurally rather than with a better regex: `splitGapsEntriesWithSpans` carries each entry's own character span out of the splitter, and the write splices by that recorded span. The location is already known at selection time — re-deriving it by searching was the entire defect class. Added as a sibling so `splitGapsEntries`' three existing callers are untouched. With index-splicing, `match_verification_failed` becomes a genuine independent cross-check instead of a guard that could never fire. ## The digest was blind past the third question `deriveOpenQuestions` truncated to three questions, and clamped each to 200 chars, BEFORE the digest hashed it — so the snapshot could not see the fourth and later. Ship three innocuous questions, acknowledge, then add real blockers, and they are permanently invisible: measured `open=0, acknowledged=1`, report "All artifact types clear." That is the same self-invalidation property this digest was added to guarantee one revision ago. The digest now covers the untruncated list; truncation is display-only. Found while fixing it: the previous digest joined on a literal raw NUL byte embedded in the source — collisions are constructible, and reachable through attacker-controlled YAML `\x00` escapes. Verified both ways. Replaced with a length-prefixed encoding so no two question sets can collide by concatenation. ## Sweep Because this is the third incomplete fix on this seam, every identity and location derivation was swept for the display-vs-identity confusion: uat_gaps uses status plus a full-content count, the other seven categories use a scalar status or presence, the deferred `--text` identity is never truncated, and all five flat categories resolve their file by path rather than by content search. No further instances. Closes #3458 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(#3458): correct two assertions that over-reached the measured behavior Remote runner red on two of the F1 tests. The source is correct — reproduced both fixtures against the built CLI — and both failures were bugs in the assertions I wrote. `src/` is untouched by this commit. The first is worth recording. It computed the CRITICAL entry's block as content.slice(content.indexOf('- CRITICAL'), content.indexOf('- minor typo')) and `indexOf` found the FIRST SUBSTRING occurrence, which lives inside that entry's own continuation line ` see also: - minor typo`. The block was truncated mid-line, so the assertion could never match. The test committed the exact first-substring-match mistake it exists to catch, one revision after that mistake was fixed in the source. The second asserted `deferred_items === 0` after acknowledging the typo entry, but the decoy `- Note: reference - minor typo elsewhere, ignore` is itself an open entry and was never acknowledged, so the correct count is 1. It now also asserts WHICH item remains open — that is what actually proves the right entry was suppressed, and the original assertion would have passed even if both had been silenced. Both now derive their expectations from measured CLI output. A comment records that the write seam normalizes markdown (`_normalizeMd` inserts a blank line before a list item following a non-list line) so the inserted line is not later mistaken for a regression; that is repo-wide behavior for every `.md` write through the single write projection, not something this change should diverge from. Root cause of both: the previous two dispatches verified behavior with direct CLI probes but never executed the test file, so assertions could over-reach what had actually been measured. Every other assertion added in those two commits has since been re-derived from real output; no further mismatches.

Tom Boucher	66ad3d6250	test(#3523): rewrite two undetected source-greps as behavioral tests (#3548) ... * test(#3523): rewrite two undetected source-greps as behavioral tests Both sites read a real shipped hook and text-searched it, and both were invisible to local/no-source-grep because the path was bound to a separate const the rule never resolves back to its literal. tests/check-update-config-dir.test.cjs carried three such reads, not the one the issue cites. All three are replaced by a harness that runs the real hooks/gsd-check-update.js under a fake HOME and observes the config dirs detectConfigDir resolved, via the env the hook hands its worker. Coverage now includes the CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR precedence cases and the full adjacent-pair search order the deleted static grep only asserted for one pair. tests/security-prompt-injection.security.test.cjs asserted the scanner hook's SOURCE TEXT contained each canonical MARKDOWN_LINK_PATTERNS regex source. It now drives probes through the real hook and asserts the emitted ruleId, with a completeness gate so a new canonical pattern without a probe fails loudly, plus safePredicate parity the text grep never checked. No allow-test-rule marker is added. The now-false marker on check-update-config-dir.test.cjs is removed and its identity-allowlist entry pruned, which the ratchet requires. Refs #3464 * feat(#3523): emit typed findings IR from the read-injection scanner The scanner built a structured findings array internally and discarded the structure when rendering its advisory sentence, so the only thing a test could assert on was that prose. CONTRIBUTING's 'Prohibited: Raw Text Matching on Test Outputs' names that exact situation and prescribes adding the typed surface rather than matching the text. findings is now an array of {ruleId, match} records and the advisory is derived from it through a single renderFinding mapper, so the rendered text and the IR cannot drift. The array is emitted additively on hookSpecificOutput for both the advisory and blocking output shapes. The advisory string itself is unchanged, byte for byte: verified across six payload shapes (single markdown-link hit, 3+ finding HIGH, invisible unicode, unicode tag block, injection-pattern-only, mixed) by running the pristine and modified hooks against identical stdin and comparing. 28 existing assertions across four suites substring-match that string. The #3523 parity assertions now read the IR, and a new test binds the two surfaces together by asserting every MD-LINK ruleId in findings appears in the advisory and that the reported pattern count matches findings.length. Refs #3464 * docs(#3523): document the read-injection scanner output contract The scanner had no subsection under Security Hooks, only a one-line table row. Documents its trigger events, severity thresholds, skip conditions, rule ids, and the findings IR added alongside the advisory. Refs #3464 * fix(#3523): bind every finding family to the advisory, freeze rule ids Two review findings on the typed-IR commit. The parity test filtered on MD-LINK- and so bound only one of the four finding families to the rendered advisory; the other three were covered only by the pattern count, which catches a length mismatch but not wrong text. It now drives a payload producing all four families at once, asserts all four are present so it cannot silently degrade, and checks each one's expected rendering against an expectation table coded independently of the hook's own mapper. The three synthetic rule ids were written twice each — once at the push site, once in renderFinding — so a rename at one site would fall through the generic render branch with no signal. They are now a frozen RULE_IDS constant referenced from both. No string value changed; the advisory remains byte-identical across all six proof payloads.

Tom Boucher	bc557f6876	chore(#3520): ratchet on effective exemptions, track unverified separately (#3529) ... Phase 5 of #3464, following #3465, #3466, #3502 and #3508. Those cut the ceiling 305 -> 278, made the rule accurate, and ended file-wide amnesty. This one fixes the number itself. scripts/lint-allow-test-rule-refs.cjs counted FILES CONTAINING MARKER TEXT. Only 5 of those files carry a marker that actually suppresses a violation the rule detects, across 10 sites. The ratcheted number was ~98% noise, which is exactly why bumping it was frictionless: the metric was never coupled to the thing it claimed to govern. That is the whole complaint this epic opened with, stated precisely. Verified directly rather than assumed: only eslint-rules/no-source-grep.cjs functionally honors the marker. Four other rule files mention allow-test-rule in prose only, and no-raw-rmsync-in-tests.cjs:24 explicitly states it does not apply. So the large count was not legitimately large because several rules share the annotation. Now two numbers, only the first ratcheted: EFFECTIVE EXEMPTIONS -- markers that actually suppress a detected violation. 10 sites across 5 files. Tightly ratcheted in both directions, as before: over the ceiling fails, and slack beyond grace fails. UNVERIFIED MARKERS -- marker-bearing files with no detectable violation. 273 files. Reported and given a loose ceiling so the pool cannot silently balloon, but deliberately NOT tightly ratcheted, because shrinking it is a rule-coverage problem and not a delete-the-markers problem. A file with at least one effective site counts as effective and is not also counted as unverified; the two numbers never double-count. Reporting ONLY the effective count was considered and rejected. It would say five files and look excellent while being falsely reassuring, because "no detectable violation" is not "no violation". This phase's own measurement found two genuine source-greps that are unsuppressed AND undetected -- tests/security-prompt-injection.security.test.cjs:852 and tests/check-update-config-dir.test.cjs:91 -- each reading a real shipped file and text-searching it, invisible only because the path is bound to a separate const the rule never resolves back to its literal. Markers guarding that class count as zero-effective and would look vestigial. Trading a number that is too big and meaningless for one that is too small and falsely reassuring is not progress, so the script prints the known-limit caveat alongside the numbers and the two undetected violations are filed separately rather than lost. Single source of truth is structural, not a matter of discipline. The script does not re-implement detection or the site-scoped adjacency predicate -- that is the generative-fix-divergence class this repo has shipped before. The rule now exports MAX_MARKER_LOOKAHEAD_LINES, MARKER_COMMENT_RE, collectMarkerAndCommentLines and isSuppressedAt (extracted verbatim, no logic change), plus a default-off neutralizeSuppression option so the counter can enumerate every site through the real rule via ESLint's Linter API and then classify each with the rule's own predicate, replicating reportUnlessSuppressed's search-line-OR-read-line check exactly. Default rule behavior is byte-identical: tests/eslint-rules.test.cjs passes 168/168 unchanged. A parity test asserts the script's suppressed/not verdict equals the rule's own report/no-report outcome for every site in a fixture corpus. A real silent-failure bug surfaced and was fixed while building this: ESLint's flat-config Linter reports "No matching configuration" and returns ZERO messages for any filename resolving outside its cwd. That would have quietly misclassified every sandboxed test fixture as having no violations -- a test suite that passes while asserting nothing. Fixed by anchoring the Linter to the tests dir, with a defensive throw if it ever recurs. Two earlier claims of mine are corrected by this phase's measurement. Widening the source-dir allowlist to include hooks/ -- the "fifth blind spot" recorded in #3508 -- rescues ZERO sites; it is real in principle and has no practical effect, because the hooks reads that exist are missed for other reasons (.sh extension, identifier-indirection, dynamic filenames). And the #3508 correction that attributed those reads to the hooks/ gap rather than to variable indirection was itself incomplete: both are independently sufficient, so fixing either alone changes nothing. I accepted the reviewer's causal claim as uncritically as I had made my own. The unverified count is 273, not the ~289 in the phase design doc. That is legitimate drift -- the baseline was measured at fba7c9032 and other merged work has since removed markers. Left as measured rather than adjusted to match the document. Adversarial review found a BLOCKER in the first revision and it is fixed here. The counter walked only tests/**/*.test.cjs, but the rule is registered on tests/**/*.cjs -- every .cjs, not just test files -- plus scripts/**, eslint-rules/**, bin/lib/**, pi/**, examples/**, gsd-core/bin/** and three plugin globs. 35 non-.test.cjs files under tests/ were never walked, and tests/helpers/live-command-registry.cjs:1 carries a real marker that appeared in NEITHER reported number. A counter that undercounts is worse than the meaningless one it replaces, because it will be trusted. The scan set is now derived programmatically: the script dynamically imports eslint.config.mjs and extracts the `files` globs from every config block that enables local/no-source-grep. There is no hardcoded list to drift, which is the same divergence class the parity test already guards. Two further defects surfaced while fixing it. The silent-clean catch around linter.verify() was worse than reported -- ESLint signals a parse error by returning a message with fatal:true rather than throwing, so the original catch would not even have fired for the common case. Both paths now throw with the file path. That silent swallow was actively hiding a broken fixture in this suite's own tests: 'no marker here\n' is not valid JS and the case only "passed" because the parse failure was discarded. Fixed. And once the scan widened, the raw-text marker scanner started matching this tooling's own doc comments and RuleTester fixture strings, so marker extraction moved to AST comment nodes. That corrected three long-standing FALSE POSITIVES: allowlist entries for tests/eslint-rules.test.cjs that were never real markers, only fixture payload. Allowlist 137 -> 135: three false positives pruned, one real entry added for live-command-registry. The headline numbers are coincidentally unchanged (10/10 effective across 5 files, 273/280 unverified) but the composition is corrected: one real file gained, one phantom dropped. Verified by direct diff rather than inferred from the totals matching. The first remote run of this branch came back RED with 23 failures, all one cause, and it is fixed here. Classification drove ESLint's flat-config Linter, which resolves configuration relative to a cwd and refuses to lint any file outside it. The test harness writes fixtures into an OS temp dir, so every sandbox row hit "No matching configuration found" and tripped the defensive throw. It surfaced only on the container because the repo lives at /work there and the fixtures at /tmp, making the mismatch unmissable; a local run had reported the suite green, which it was not. Fixed by not depending on config *resolution* at all: the script now builds an eslintrc-format Linter and registers the rule directly with defineRule, since it already knows exactly which rule and options it wants. That removes the cwd-ancestor constraint entirely and makes repo files and out-of-tree fixtures classify identically. Verified out-of-tree explicitly, not just in-repo, because the local temp path shape is what hid the bug the first time. Parse failures still throw loudly -- that behavior is required and tested. Classifications are unchanged for real repo files (10/10 effective across 5, 273/280 unverified, 0 live), which is the check that the config swap did not quietly alter results. The second remote run cut the failures from 23 to 2, and the survivors were a genuinely different and more interesting defect: tests/packaging-shipped-scripts-require-only-shipped.test.cjs caught that scripts/ SHIPS in the published package while eslint-rules/ does not, so importing the rule for single-source-of-truth would MODULE_NOT_FOUND in a real consumer's install. That test statically extracts require() calls, so hiding the import inside a function would have dodged the check without fixing the problem. Resolved along the grain of existing convention rather than by weakening anything: package.json already excludes several repo-internal lint gates from the shipped set via `!scripts/...`, including `!scripts/lint-no-adhoc-regex-escape.cjs`, which is the same situation. This gate is CI-only and has no meaning in a consumer install, so it joins them. Verified with `npm pack --dry-run` that the .cjs is genuinely absent from the tarball (its inert JSON config files remain, and carry no requires). The third remote run failed on shard 3/3 across all three OSes with exit code NULL and empty output -- the spawned gate was killed by a timeout, not failing an assertion. Cause: replacing a raw text scan with a full ESLint Linter pass over every file in every registered glob took the gate from 0.57s to ~7-12s, and GitHub's runners are slower than the bench that had just passed it green. Fixed by narrowing the work rather than raising the timeout to hide it. Both numbers the gate computes are properties of files that CONTAIN a marker, so only those (~294) need linting; the repo-wide byte walk that finds them stays, since that was the undercount fix. Live violations in files carrying NO marker are already enforced by npm run lint over exactly these globs, so re-detecting them here was redundant. 2.87s now, from ~7s measured locally. That narrowing changes what one reported number means, so the wording changed with it: "live violations in marker-bearing files: 0 (unmarked files are enforced separately by npm run lint)". A number that quietly covers less than it reads is the failure this whole epic is about, so it is stated rather than left implicit, and the test row that asserted the old broader behavior was split -- an unmarked live violation now passes this gate (and is caught by eslint), while a live violation in a marker-bearing file still fails it. The repo-baseline test's timeout was also raised to 30s with a comment, since a gate that legitimately takes ~3s must not sit at a timeout close to its own runtime. Every other row keeps the shorter sandbox-scoped timeout. Closes #3520 Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-15 00:33:31 -04:00
Tom Boucher	e2f4c16d9e	refactor(#3469): one composition for the STATE.md write seam (#3501) ... * docs(#3469): amend ADR-3408 section 8.3 — the pipeline has sanctioned exceptions Section 8.3 read 'Every STATE.md write applies the pipeline.' That is false by design for two commands, and acting on it would have inverted a shipped feature. Preservation makes curated frontmatter win over a re-derived body value. state sync exists to do the opposite — #905's 'body annotation beats existing frontmatter when both are present'; it re-derives frontmatter FROM the body. REGENERATE_STATE is a factory reset that rebuilds STATE.md from scratch. Applying the pipeline to either would re-lock exactly what the command was invoked to replace. This issue's own scope line, inherited from the epic, said to route the direct writeStateMd callers through the pipeline. For cmdStateSync that would have shipped silently, with every gate green, because no test asserts that sync LETS the body win. Caught by reading the helper's docstring and then verifying the claim against the code — a stale comment had already misdirected this epic once. Both commands are now named in a closed exception list and are permanent ratchet entries. Consequence recorded rather than left to bite Phase 4: the 'drive the ratchet to 0 and delete the file' target in this ADR and in #3471 is wrong. Two entries are permanent, so the correct end state is 2, and the honest report is '0 removable bypasses, 2 sanctioned'. A guard reaching 0 here would only do so by having stopped looking at two real writers. * refactor(#3469): one composition for the write seam, not one per caller Implements ADR-3408 section 8.3 as amended. syncAndPreserveStateMd is now the single composition of syncStateFrontmatter and applyPostSyncPreservation. readModifyWriteStateMd and cmdPhaseComplete both CALL it instead of each assembling the two steps themselves. cmdPhaseComplete keeps its own writePlanningFileSet envelope — the composition returns content, it does not take over the write, so STATE.md still commits atomically with ROADMAP and REQUIREMENTS. Assembling the stages at a call site is a re-derivation even when every step calls an owner. Upstream's fix(#3374) routed cmdPhaseComplete through applyPostSyncPreservation but left it calling syncStateFrontmatter directly first, so the composition was duplicated and free to diverge with both guards green. That is ADR-3180 Amendment 2's finding repeating on the write side. cmdMilestoneComplete gains preservation. It wrote through writeStateMd, so it got sync and no preservation — the identical shape #3374 reported for phase.complete, and flagged upstream as a follow-up in the helper's own docstring. This is that follow-up. Divergence is now visible: preservation_warnings names each field restored over a disagreeing derived value. Deliberately NOT named warnings — cmdPhaseComplete already exposes warnings as a prose string array, and two sibling commands carrying that name with different element types is Generative Fix Divergence, the class this epic exists to remove. patchCore stops running stateReplaceField over the whole document. One observable consequence, intended per design row 9: a frontmatter-shaped patch key with no body counterpart now reports failed instead of silently succeeding, because the old whole-document match was literally hitting the YAML line case-insensitively. The guard closes Phase 1's DECLARED KNOWN GAP as promised rather than re-deferring it: section 8.3(b) detection is tractable now the composition exists. Scoped by two factors to avoid Phase 1's measured 29-to-1 false positive rate — a variable field-name argument AND a content argument whose nearest preceding assignment is not stripFrontmatter. Verified 0 findings and 0 false positives across all 33 call sites, plus 5 synthetic shapes. It also detects the re-assembly shape above. Ratchet: 4 entries to 2, both sanctioned-permanent. cmdStateSync's owner changes from #3471 to sanctioned-permanent per Amendment 2 — routing it through preservation would invert the #905 contract. Also fixed inline rather than deferred: cmdMilestoneComplete's STATE.md read now happens inside withStateLock. It previously read outside any lock before writeStateMd took its own, leaving a TOCTOU window under concurrent writers. * test(#3469): characterization coverage for the single write seam Matrix sections A-E. Criterion 6 was amended by maintainer decision — all five instances closed by point fixes while Phase 1 was in flight — so these are characterization tests at the consumer's output per ADR-3180 Decision 4(b)/(c), paired with the drift guard's count, never either alone. Section C is the one that earns its keep. cmdStateSync is a sanctioned permanent exception: state sync exists to re-derive frontmatter FROM the body, so preservation there re-locks exactly what the command was invoked to replace. C1 pins that the body wins; C4 pins that this phase left the command byte-identical. Nothing else in the suite would notice if a future change made sync start preserving, and the natural reading of 'one write seam' is to make precisely that change. Section E pins the guard's false-positive scoping. E4 (updateCore's strip-then-replace) and E5 (sectionBody-scoped calls) must NOT be reported — the naive detector measured 29 false positives to 1 true positive in Phase 1. E7 is the inverse: a sanctioned-permanent entry disappearing must FAIL, because a guard reaching zero here would only do so by having stopped looking at two real writers. Also corrects a stale test that asserted patchCore's old whole-document behavior, which this phase deliberately changes. One honest limitation, flagged rather than papered over: A1's 'byte-identical to pre-refactor' cannot be diffed against real pre-refactor bytes from inside the suite. It is implemented as the seeded fast-check property that cmdPhaseComplete's composed output equals readModifyWriteStateMd's for the same inputs — the strongest available proxy, not the literal claim. * docs(#3469): refresh the seam glossary entry and add the changeset Two spec-review gaps, both real. CONTEXT.md's STATE.md Transition Module entry named three direct writeStateMd callers including cmdMilestoneComplete. This phase routed that one through the composition, so the line was false the moment the refactor landed. Worth recording plainly: I wrote that sentence in Phase 0, correcting an older stale pointer in it, and my own Phase 2 change invalidated it again within the same epic. That is the exact drift this epic exists to remove, demonstrated on the epic's own documentation — and it is why the entry now ends by saying the whole-repo drift guard, not this line, is the authoritative count. The entry now records the composition (syncAndPreserveStateMd) and states that exactly two direct callers remain, both SANCTIONED PERMANENT rather than debt. Changeset: type Changed, because milestone complete's observable output moves. Tier-2 per ADR-3180 Decision 3 — a stale body line no longer wins over fresher frontmatter, and the command gains preservation_warnings. Docs requirement is met by the ADR amendment already in this diff. * test(#3469): register property-test temp-dir cleanup at creation time Standards review, minor but real: the new fast-check property cleaned up its temp dirs in a loop AFTER fc.assert returned. A genuine property failure throws, so that line never ran and every dir from the failing run — including all of fast-check's shrinking iterations — leaked. The failure path is exactly when a littered machine hurts most, and a failing property test is the case the test exists for. Cleanup is now registered with t.after() at dir-creation time, so teardown happens however the test exits. Not try/finally — CONTRIBUTING.md:356 bans it inside test bodies, which is why the after-the-assertion shape existed in the first place. Swept the rest of the branch's test diff for the same shape; phase.test.cjs already uses registered teardown and nothing else matched. * fix(#3469): patchCore routes frontmatter writes instead of dropping them Checkpoint returned 10 failures of 33880. One implementation defect, three test defects, one stale test — all fixed, and the implementation defect is the one that matters. patchCore stripped frontmatter and then reconstructed it VERBATIM, applying no patches to it. An arbitrary custom frontmatter key with no body counterpart and no FIELD_CLASSIFICATION row — risk_level in the upstream fix(#3351) test — therefore always reported failed and silently never wrote. It worked before, via the old whole-document match on the raw YAML line. That is a regression against this phase's own design row 9, which requires frontmatter changes to ROUTE THROUGH the seam — still work, policy-governed — not to stop working. Removing a capability is not routing it. An upstream test caught it, which is the argument for running the checkpoint before believing the refactor. patchCore now partitions by frontmatter shape, decided structurally from the parsed frontmatter's own keys rather than a naming heuristic: - classified keys still report failed — policy owns them and a raw patch may not bypass it; - unclassified keys apply to the frontmatter object and report updated — Phase 1's behavior-table row 19, a field with no row is not this contract's business; - body-shaped keys are unchanged. The property 'failure' was my own test breaking the repo's Clock Seams rule. The two paths agree byte-for-byte; the only difference was last_updated, stamped from the wall clock on two invocations milliseconds apart, so it could never pass. Time is now frozen with mock.timers across both — not by excluding last_updated from the comparison, which would have silently stopped comparing a field the composition writes. B4's fixture could not discriminate: normalizeStateStatus maps any text containing 'complete' to 'completed', and milestone complete's own new body value derives to exactly that — which was also the fixture's stale value. The stale value is now 'executing' so the assertion can tell 'body correctly won' from 'stale survived'. B5's fixture tripped a pre-existing unstarted-phase guard before reaching any write-seam code; it now has the matching phase directory. D9 asserted the old exempt set. readModifyWriteStateMd now calls one symbol rather than assembling two, so it needs no exemption; syncAndPreserveStateMd is the sole legitimate composition site. * fix(#3469): patchCore resolves body-first, so the body wins a name collision Re-verification returned 2 failures of 33880, both D4 — the hostile row for a key that exists as BOTH a frontmatter key and a body field. The partition checked frontmatter first, so 'status' — classified in FIELD_CLASSIFICATION and also present as a body 'Status:' line — routed to the frontmatter branch, was rejected as classified, and reported failed. Wrong order. Patching 'status' means the body field, and upstream fix(#3351) says so in its own comment: 'the legitimate working case for state.patch is display-cased BODY fields — Status, Current Plan, Phase.' The body is authoritative in this model; frontmatter is the projection. D4 asserted exactly that and was right. Resolution order is now body, then frontmatter: 1. resolves to a body field -> apply to body, updated 2. else an own key of the frontmatter: classified -> failed (policy owns it) unclassified -> apply to frontmatter, updated 3. else -> failed Verified by probe against the compiled lib for all four cases rather than asserted: risk_level (frontmatter-only, unclassified) still lands; current_phase still fails; display-cased Status unchanged; D4's lower-cased status now lands via the body with the frontmatter untouched. The current_phase case was the one that could have regressed silently, so its fixture was read rather than assumed — D1's body carries 'Phase: 3 (alpha)' and no 'Current Phase:' line, so body-first cannot reach it. * chore(#3469): backfill pr number in changeset fragment --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>	2026-08-14 16:04:09 -04:00
Tom Boucher	8a6d87538f	test(#3466): replace 8 source-grep assertions with behavioral tests (#3500) ... Phase 2 of #3464, following #3465. Rewrites every assertion that read a shipped .cjs/.js file and text-searched it, so the file no longer needs an allow-test-rule exemption. 6 of the 8 files are now marker-free; the ceiling drops 285 -> 278 against a measured 277. A source-grep passes when a STRING is present, not when the code WORKS. It survives a refactor that keeps the string but breaks the behavior, and breaks on a refactor that keeps the behavior but renames the string. Both failure modes are silent about the thing the test claims to protect. That is the anti-pattern ADR-456 and local/no-source-grep exist to prevent. Rewrites, each against the real exported seam: - discuss-mode: calls cmdInitPlanPhase() against a fixture whose config sets workflow.text_mode, asserts the value propagates to its emitted JSON. - effort-surface-axis: runs review-lane invoke against a real project with a fake `claude` PATH shim, asserts the resolved --effort actually lands in the shim's captured argv. - install-minimal-hooks: calls applySettingsJsonHooks() with a hook source missing, asserts it is neither registered nor silently registers wholesale, with sibling present hooks as the positive control. - install: calls the exported inferPreferredRuntime({fs, env, preferredConfigDir}) via its injected fs seam, asserting 'kilo' from both the config-marker and env-var paths. - opencode-permissions: spawns the real installer with a custom config dir, asserts the written opencode.json permission paths are anchored on it. - repo-layout: spawns the installer for copilot local vs global, asserting AGENTS.md is written only in the local case. - runtime-config-adapter-registry: stubs resolveInstallPlan and force-reloads install.js, asserting the runtime's artifact stops being written -- proving install.js genuinely routes through the registry. - runtime-homes-descriptor-drive: calls buildAgentSkillsBlock() for cursor and claude against real fixture SKILL.md files, asserting each runtime's refs land under its own config dir and never the other's. Every rewrite was mutation-checked before its marker was dropped. Because node --test is not runnable locally in this repo, each assertion was replicated in a standalone probe that requires the same module: run green against the real file, then red against a deliberately broken one (text_mode propagation deleted, existsSync guard removed, config dir hardcoded, !isGlobal guard dropped, kilo branch removed, effort resolution bypassed, skills base hardcoded back to .claude), then the production file restored and confirmed byte-identical. An assertion that could not be made to fail would not have shipped -- a behavioral test that passes regardless of correctness is strictly worse than the source-grep it replaces, because it looks rigorous while asserting nothing. Three claims were checked rather than trusted. All three were wrong: - repo-layout's own marker cited #1188 asserting the `!isGlobal` lexical scope was "unprovable at runtime". It is provable: the guard decides whether AGENTS.md is written, which is directly observable. Both directions verified. - The triage for runtime-config-adapter-registry claimed its source-grep was redundant with the file's EXPECTED_TABLE tests, so deletion would be safe. Those tests only exercise resolveInstallPlan() directly and never load bin/install.js, so they do not cover it. A real behavioral assertion was written instead of deleting coverage. - An earlier revision of this change dropped runtime-config-adapter-registry's two markers on the grounds that ESLint stayed silent without them. An adversarial review caught that this was wrong, and it is restored here. The file still genuinely source-greps bin/install.js at two sites; ESLint is silent only because no-source-grep's TEXT_METHODS omits matchAll. Dropping a marker because the linter cannot see the violation is exploiting the blind spot, not resolving it -- and it would go red the moment the rule is widened. Those two assertions are also irreducible: they assert that EVERY inline `runtime === '...'` branch in install.js names a registry-known runtime, and a branch naming an unregistered runtime would simply never execute, so no runtime observation can prove its absence. The markers now say so explicitly. Two coverage gaps in no-source-grep surfaced while doing this, recorded on #3464 rather than fixed here, since widening the rule is its own change with its own blast radius: - TEXT_METHODS omits matchAll, so a matchAll source-grep never trips the rule (the case above). - The path test requires a literal quoted bin/lib/gsd-core/src segment and tracks the binding one hop, so a read through a dynamic path or an intermediate variable evades it. install-minimal-hooks' genuinely load-bearing read at line 975 is itself unmarked for a related reason. install-minimal-hooks therefore keeps its markers too: its remaining real source-grep of bin/install.js (the Codex legacy gsd-update-check migration check, line 975) is outside this issue's 8 sites. It is the last blocker for that file and is a clean follow-up. Closes #3466 Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-14 15:57:25 -04:00
Tom Boucher	895d9df96d	fix(#3477): run untrusted key_links patterns on a linear-time engine (#3496) ... `cmdVerifyKeyLinks` compiled `must_haves.key_links[].pattern` from plan frontmatter with `new RegExp()` and tested it against whole file contents, so a nested-quantifier pattern such as `(a+)+$` hung `verify-phase` indefinitely (CWE-1333). JavaScript has no regex-execution timeout. Untrusted patterns now run on RE2 (re2js), whose match time is linear in input length — the class is closed by the engine, not by a heuristic screen. The screen lost in the ADR-0174 consolidation was deliberately NOT restored: it never worked, since `(a|a)*$`, `((a+))+$`, `(a+){2,}$` and `(a{1,3})+$` all evade it. A refused pattern's matcher returns false for every input, so it cannot report a match no matter what the caller does. The engine is vendored at gsd-core/bin/lib/vendor/re2js.cjs because gsd-core/bin/** is copied into installed trees with no node_modules; runtime dependencies are unchanged. New ESLint rule local/no-external-require-in-bin enforces that invariant, which had been documented in a comment since the #3024/#2071 bug class and enforced nowhere. Backreferences and look-around are unsupported by RE2 by construction — disclosed in a Changed changeset. Closes #3477 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-14 14:34:36 -04:00
Tom Boucher	1218d76d62	refactor(#3468): dispatch state preservation on the declared policy, not the field (#3495) ... * test(#3468): add write-path drift guard, ratcheted at its measured baseline Guard-first, per ADR-3180 Amendment 3's standing rule that a phase builds and runs its guard BEFORE its scope is fixed, and states its copy count as 'N found by the guard', never 'N per the epic'. Measured, not assumed: Axis 1 (policy dispatch, ADR-3408 section 8.1) — 7 violations, RED by design. 5 field-name-keyed getFieldClassification('literal') branches plus 2 declared FieldPreservation members with no executor at all (derive, clear). This is the fail-first evidence for the refactor. Axis 2 (write seam, section 8.3) — 4 bypasses, ratcheted. Epic #3408 scoped this at two writers; the whole-repo scan found four, and one the epic named (patchCore) is not among them because it bypasses via stateReplaceField rather than the seam calls. Fourth consecutive time an epic's copy count proved a lower bound. Two detectors were written and removed again before this commit, both recorded in the file header rather than silently dropped: - A prompt-layer detector that reported 5 backticked prose mentions as drift. That is ADR-3180 Amendment 3's recorded false-positive class, and CONTRIBUTING.md already settles it: a backticked command reference is a mention. Now gated on inline-code spans. - A stateReplaceField co-occurrence detector for section 8.3(b). Measured at 29 false positives to 1 true positive — it matched the function's own definition and ~20 calls on frontmatter-free body slices. Banking 29 non-defects to catch one is the 'ratchet as a parking lot' gaming route Decision 5 names, so it is a DECLARED KNOWN GAP owned by Phase 2 (#3469), which both fixes it and makes its detection tractable. * test(#3468): failing-first coverage for policy dispatch and the loud failure Matrix sections A, B and C from 50-test-matrix.md. Expected RED against this tree, confirmed by static trace rather than assumed: B1, B2, B3 — an unwired declared preserve-when-unchanged row must throw with code STATE_PRESERVATION_UNWIRED_ROW and a structured .field. Today src/state-transition.cts:314 silently continues. A4 — a whitespace-only snapshot is restored today, because the guard is .length > 0. Required behavior is skip. Everything else is characterization, locking in behavior the refactor must preserve. C1 is table-driven over every FIELD_CLASSIFICATION key; C2 pins current_phase_name's exact outputs as literals, because its row is being reclassified preserve-always to preserve-when-unchanged as a behavior-preserving change and nothing else would catch a drift. C3 is a seeded fast-check property (seed 3468, 200 runs, replay data on failure). A22 is deliberately NOT a behavioral test. Whether 'derive' has an explicit executor is not observable through applyStatePreservation's public API — it is a structural property, and the drift guard's unimplemented_policy axis is what enforces it. That split is ADR-3408 Decision 5's own pairing: the lint is the structural metric, the test is the outcome metric, and neither is reported alone. * refactor(#3468): dispatch preservation on the declared policy, not the field Implements ADR-3408 sections 8.1, 8.2 and 8.6. applyStatePreservation is now one loop over FIELD_CLASSIFICATION dispatching on the row's preservation value, with four small executors — one per FieldPreservation member. No branch is selected by field name. Zero literal-argument getFieldClassification calls remain. Behavior-preserving for 16 of 20 input classes. The four that change: - An unwired declared preserve-when-unchanged row now THROWS (code STATE_PRESERVATION_UNWIRED_ROW, structured .field) instead of silently continuing. This fires only on an internal invariant violation with both ends in our own source; a drifted, malformed or unparseable user STATE.md must never reach it, which is section 8.2's bright line and what test B8 proves through the real CLI. - derive gained an explicit no-op executor. That is what makes the throw decidable: 'policy says do nothing' is now distinguishable from 'nobody wired this'. - current_phase_name's row is corrected from preserve-always to preserve-when-unchanged. The row was wrong, not the code — it has always been delta-gated on the body Phase line, so preserve-always had two divergent implementations. Behavior is unchanged and test C2 pins it. - A whitespace-only snapshot is no longer restored; the check is trimmed. clear is deleted from the FieldPreservation union — no row used it and no executor existed. Speculative Generality: a policy invented for a need that never arrived. Verified zero dependents. The caller folds six dedicated pre/post parameters into one bodyDeltas map keyed by field, so all seven preserve-when-unchanged rows travel one channel instead of two. Two shapes for one kind of data is why the executor needed per-field branches at all. Also fixed, found while reviewing the refactor rather than deferred: - applyPreserveIfPlaceholder opened with a field-name literal test, which section 8.1 forbids outright. The executor is idempotent, so the test bought nothing. The drift guard could not see it, so Axis 1 is widened to catch field-variable comparisons against literals — the guard reported zero while a violation sat in the file it polices, which is Goodhart's gaming-by-indirection. - loadBaseline conflated an unreadable baseline with an absent one. A guard whose own diagnostic collapses two states into one identical result reproduces the exact failure shape this epic exists to remove. * docs(#3468): record Phase 1 validation as ADR-3408 Amendment 1 Amendment 1 records what Phase 1 found, per ADR-3408 section 8's rule that a behavior it does not state is not decided: - preserve-always had TWO divergent implementations; current_phase_name's row was wrong and is reclassified, behavior unchanged. - section 8.6 resolved: clear is deleted, zero dependents. - the closed guard vocabulary is real and has exactly one true member, because stopped_at's scoping turned out to be caller-side extraction. - copy count found by the guard: 4 write-seam bypasses where the epic scoped 2, and patchCore — one of the two it named — is not among them. - two detectors built and removed again, with their measured false-positive rates, so nobody re-attempts them. - a DECLARED KNOWN GAP for section 8.3(b), owned by Phase 2. - Decision 5's anti-gaming list earned itself twice in one phase. Also adds the changeset fragment. * test(#3468): fix review findings — try/finally, stale clear allowlist, ratchet owners Standards axis, both hard violations: - tests/state-write-path-drift-guard.test.cjs wrapped stdout/argv/exitCode restoration in try/finally inside the test body. CONTRIBUTING.md:356 forbids it outright, and the correct t.after() pattern was already in use two lines up in the same test. - tests/state-transition.test.cjs still listed 'clear' as an allowed FieldPreservation value in the row-enumeration test AND the getFieldClassification property test, after this PR deleted it. A stale allowlist weakens the property's negative space — it would accept a resurrected clear row as valid. Contract tension, resolved rather than left: ADR-3408 section 8.3 requires each ratchet entry carry the issue owning its removal. All four shipped with owner: null. The guard was right not to INVENT one, but the owners are known from the phase plan, so recording them is not inventing: phase.cts -> #3469, state.cts and milestone.cts -> #3471, health-diagnostic.cts -> sanctioned-permanent. Rather than a JSDoc caveat, --baseline now MERGES prior owner values on the (file, source) key, so a mechanical regeneration can no longer silently discard curated provenance. Verified by regenerating twice. * fix(#3468): sanitize attacker-controlled fields on every guard output path Isolated security review, MEDIUM, confidence 8/10. findSeamBypasses and findPromptSeamUses built findings with an UNSANITIZED `file`, while the co-located `source` on the same object was correctly wrapped in sanitizeForReport. On a fork PR a filename is exactly as attacker-controlled as a source fragment — a repo can legally track a filename carrying C1 control bytes or bidi overrides. The raw value reached two paths: --json stdout, and the COMMITTED baseline JSON via buildBaselineEntries. JSON.stringify neutralizes C0 controls but does NOT escape C1 (0x7f-0x9f) nor the bidi/zero-width range sanitizeForReport exists to strip — which is the precise threat the guard's own header names. Only the human formatter was safe. Sanitization now happens at CONSTRUCTION, so every consumer inherits it rather than each output path having to remember. The same defect was present on `field` and `policy` and is fixed alongside. Double-sanitization in the formatter is left in place, verified idempotent: escaped output is ASCII and cannot re-match the control/bidi classes. Also: the guard was not referenced anywhere in package.json, so nothing ran it. A drift guard nobody runs is not a guard, and ADR-3408 Decision 5 assumes it runs. Wired into lint:ci beside its sibling drift guards; it was already green on this tree, so the chain stays green. * chore(#3468): re-curate ratchet after an upstream rewording of a tracked bypass The rebase onto origin/next turned the guard red on its first real day, which is the ratchet working rather than a defect. c90ae479f fix(#3350) reworded cmdPhaseComplete's syncStateFrontmatter call onto one line and changed its third argument. Because entries are keyed on (file, trimmed source text) rather than a line number, that single upstream edit registered as BOTH a stale acknowledgment and an unrecorded site — the two-sided signal the design intends, forcing a human to look rather than letting a tracked bypass drift out of view. The owner-preserving merge behaved exactly as designed: three owners survived because their keys were unchanged, and phase.cts's dropped to null because its source text is genuinely a different key. Re-curated to #3469, the phase that owns its removal. Note for Phase 2: c90ae479f is #3350's fix landing independently on next — one of the two instances Phase 2 was scoped to drive fail-first. Surfaced to the epic rather than absorbed silently. * test(#3468): derive B1's fixture from the table so it cannot go stale Checkpoint 2 came back with 2 failures of 33803, both B1: actual 'current_phase_name' expected 'current_plan' The implementation was right and the test was stale. B1 hand-built a bodyDeltas literal intending current_plan to be the ONLY unwired row, but it also omitted status, stopped_at and current_phase_name — all three of which became preserve-when-unchanged rows in THIS PR. Table order puts current_phase_name first, so the throw correctly named it. B1 now builds from neutralBodyDeltas() and deletes exactly one key, which is what its own comment always claimed it did. A future table change can no longer silently make it assert the wrong field. Audited every other bodyDeltas literal in the file: four exist, all correct — two enumerate all seven rows explicitly, two pass {} where the emptiness is the point of the test. Roughly thirty other sites already derive from the helper. Also renames the local unchchangedChanged to lastActivityDescChangedDeltas. A typo'd identifier that happens to work is still a Mysterious Name; noted during research and fixed now that this change touches the file. * chore(#3468): re-curate ratchet and fold the seam channel into the shared helper The rebase onto be9329b10 fix(#3374) was a true semantic conflict, resolved rather than handed back, because the resolution was determinable: That PR extracted the post-sync preservation pass into a shared applyPostSyncPreservation helper — which is ADR-3408 section 8.3, i.e. a piece of Phase 2's own deliverable, landing upstream. Its structure is kept wholesale; this branch's contribution is applied INSIDE it. That combination had to be checked rather than assumed. Upstream's helper wires only FOUR bodyDeltas keys and still passes status / stopped_at / current_phase_name through six dedicated parameters. This branch reclassifies current_phase_name to preserve-when-unchanged, deletes those six parameters from StatePreservationInput, and makes an unwired declared row THROW. Taking upstream's file as-is would therefore have thrown on EVERY STATE.md write. The helper now wires all seven rows through the single channel. Verified 7-to-7 against FIELD_CLASSIFICATION, with a clean tsc — which is the real proof the dedicated parameters are gone, since they no longer exist on the input type. The ratchet also caught the same phase.cts call being reworded a second time, reporting it as both a stale acknowledgment and an unrecorded site. Re-curated to #3469. Recording the tradeoff plainly: keying on (file, source text) means an upstream reword of a tracked line needs re-curation, where keying on line numbers would churn on every unrelated edit. ADR-3180 Decision 4(e) chose source text deliberately, and the owner-preserving merge added earlier covers the common case where the text is unchanged. * chore(#3468): backfill pr number in changeset fragment --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>	2026-08-14 13:25:30 -04:00
Tom Boucher	5b5d473e13	chore(#3465): remove 22 verified-vestigial allow-test-rule markers (#3494) ... Phase 1 of #3464. Removes the `// allow-test-rule:` marker from 22 test files where it is provably vestigial, and tightens the ratchet ceiling in scripts/lint-allow-test-rule-refs.ceiling.json from 305 to 285. Eligibility is decided by two independent AST discriminators, both conservative (any doubt => keep): (a) Read-target type. Every readFileSync/readFile call in the file resolves statically to a prose/config extension (.md/.json/.yml/.yaml/.toml/.txt), or the file performs no reads at all. Any read of a source extension (.cjs/.js/.mjs/.ts/.cts/.mts/.jsx/.tsx), any dynamic/unresolvable path, and any other extension all disqualify the file. (b) Marker context. Every `allow-test-rule:` occurrence is a genuine comment node, never string- or template-literal payload. A marker that lives inside a RuleTester `code:` fixture is test DATA, not a suppression directive; stripping it corrupts the test. tests/eslint-rules.test.cjs is the one such fixture host and is deliberately untouched. An earlier attempt at this phase classified markers by "strip it and see if local/no-source-grep still passes" and was reverted in full before commit. That oracle is unsound: the rule only fires on a literal .cjs/.js/.ts path containing a quoted bin/lib/gsd-core/src segment, tracked one hop from the binding, so files that genuinely source-grep real JavaScript pass it silently -- tests/no-unbounded-spawn-allowlist.test.cjs (reads test sources through a listTestFiles() walk) and tests/claude-imperative-reference.test.cjs (matches bin/install.js through an intermediate variable) both cleared it while being real source-greps. The rule's implementation is narrower than its intent, so it cannot adjudicate whether an exemption is load-bearing. Scope is limited to comment deletions: the diff over the test tree is 100% line removals with zero insertions, and no executable line is altered. On the ceiling value. The measured count at this HEAD is 283, so 285 leaves 2 slack -- deliberate, and well inside the documented grace band of 3. Pinning the ceiling to the exact count makes this change effectively unmergeable: any concurrent PR that lands one marker-bearing test file re-reds it. That race fired twice while preparing this branch (once mid-rebase taking the count 304->305 on next, once between rebase and the verification run taking it 282->283), and it is the same race that broke next in #3461. A ceiling of actual+2 preserves a merge window while still ratcheting 305 -> 285. Known limit, disclosed rather than papered over: this clears 22 of 303 markers and does not reach #3464's trend-to-zero goal. Most of the remaining markers sit on dynamic-path reads, commonly a hoisted `const p = path.join(tmpDir, 'STATE.md')` whose target is prose but is unresolvable to this classifier. A stricter one-hop const resolution would flip an estimated 95 more; that is deliberately left to a follow-up so it can be reviewed on its own evidence. Marker discovery reads bytes rather than shelling out to grep: tests/security-prompt-injection.security.test.cjs carries a literal NUL byte (an intentional injection fixture) that makes grep treat it as binary and skip it, which is why the true marked-file count is 303 and not the 302 a shell scan reports.
