Two bugs caused workflow.research to silently reset to false:
1. new-milestone.md unconditionally overwrote workflow.research via
config-set after asking about research — coupling a per-milestone
decision to a persistent user preference. Now the research question
is per-invocation only; persistent config changes via /gsd:settings.
2. verify.cjs health repair (createConfig/resetConfig) used flat keys
(research, plan_checker, verifier) instead of the canonical nested
workflow object from config.cjs, also missing branch templates,
nyquist_validation, and brave_search fields.

Add pre-planning design contract generation and post-execution visual audit
for frontend phases. Closes the gap where execute-phase runs without a visual
contract, producing inconsistent spacing, color, and typography across components.
New agents: gsd-ui-researcher (UI-SPEC.md), gsd-ui-checker (6-dimension
validation), gsd-ui-auditor (6-pillar scored audit + registry re-vetting).
Third-party shadcn registry blocks are machine-vetted at contract time,
verification time, and audit time — three enforcement points, not a checkbox.

* fix: update codex config tests to match simplified config structure
Tests asserted the old config structure ([features] section, multi_agent,
default_mode_request_user_input, [agents] table with max_threads/max_depth)
that was deliberately removed. Tests now verify the new behavior: config
block contains only the GSD marker and per-agent [agents.gsd-*] sections.

When ROADMAP.md marks a phase as [x] complete, trust that over the
disk file structure. Phases completed before GSD tracking started
(or via external tools) may lack PLAN/SUMMARY pairs but are still
done — the roadmap checkbox is the higher-authority signal.
Without this fix, completed phases show as "discussed" or "planned"
in /gsd:progress, causing incorrect routing and progress percentages.

* fix: plan-phase Nyquist validation when research is disabled (#980)
plan-phase step 5.5 required Nyquist artifacts even when research was
disabled, creating an impossible state: no RESEARCH.md to extract
Validation Architecture from. Step 7.5 then told Claude to "disable
Nyquist in config" without specifying the exact key, causing Claude to
guess wrong keys that config-set silently accepted.
Three fixes:
- plan-phase step 5.5: skip when research_enabled is false
- plan-phase step 7.5: specify exact config-set command for disabling
- config-set: reject unknown keys with whitelist validation
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test: update config-set tests for key whitelist validation
Tests that used arbitrary keys (some_number, some_string, a.b.c) now
use valid config keys to test the same coercion and nesting behavior.
Adds new test asserting unknown keys are rejected with error.

Quick task IDs were sequential integers (001, 002...) computed by reading
the local .planning/quick/ directory max value. Two users running /gsd:quick
simultaneously would get the same number, causing directory collisions on git.
Replace with a collision-resistant format: YYMMDD-xxx where xxx is the
number of 2-second blocks elapsed since midnight, encoded as 3 lowercase
Base36 characters (000–xbz). Practical collision window is ~2 seconds per
user — effectively zero for any realistic team workflow.
- init.cjs: remove nextNum scan logic, generate quickId from wall clock
- quick.md: rename all next_num refs to quick_id, update directory patterns
- init.test.cjs: rewrite cmdInitQuick tests for new ID format

Executor agents often produce shallow work because plans say "align X with Y"
without specifying what the aligned result looks like. The executor changes one
value and calls it done.
This adds three mandatory fields to every task:
- `<read_first>`: Files the executor MUST read before editing. Ensures ground
truth is loaded, not assumed.
- `<acceptance_criteria>`: Grep-verifiable conditions checked after each task.
No subjective language ("looks consistent"), only concrete checks
("file contains 'exact string'").
- `<action>` guidance: Must include concrete values (identifiers, signatures,
config keys), never vague references like "update to match production".
Adds `<deep_work_rules>` to planner instructions with mandatory quality gate
checks. Executor workflow enforces both gates: read before edit, verify after
edit. Adds generic pre-commit hook failure handling guidance.
Co-authored-by: Dammerzone <dammerzone@users.noreply.github.com>
When a task fails verification, the executor now attempts structured
repair before interrupting the user:
- RETRY: adjusts approach and re-attempts
- DECOMPOSE: splits the task into smaller verifiable sub-tasks
- PRUNE: skips with justification when infeasible
Only escalates to the user when the repair budget is exhausted or an
architectural decision is required (Rule 4). Configurable via
workflow.node_repair (bool) and workflow.node_repair_budget (int).
Defaults to enabled with budget=2.
Inspired by the NODE_REPAIR operator in STRUCTUREDAGENT (arXiv:2603.05294).

* fix: add mandatory canonical_refs section to CONTEXT.md
CONTEXT.md is the bridge between user decisions and downstream agents
(researcher, planner). When projects have external specs, ADRs, or
design docs, these references were being silently dropped — mentioned
inline as "see ADR-019" but never collected into a section that agents
could find and read. This caused agents to plan and implement without
reading the specs they were supposed to follow.
Changes:
- templates/context.md: Add <canonical_refs> section to file template,
all 3 examples, and guidelines (marked MANDATORY)
- workflows/discuss-phase.md: Add step 1b (extract canonical refs),
add section to write_context template, add to success criteria
- workflows/plan-phase.md: Add canonical ref extraction to PRD express
path and its CONTEXT.md template
- workflows/quick.md: Add lightweight canonical_refs to --discuss mode
The section is mandatory but gracefully handles projects without external
docs ("No external specs — requirements fully captured in decisions above").
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: make canonical refs an accumulator across entire discussion
Refs come from 4 sources, not just ROADMAP.md:
1. ROADMAP.md Canonical refs line (initial seed)
2. REQUIREMENTS.md/PROJECT.md referenced specs
3. Codebase scout (code comments citing ADRs)
4. User during discussion ("read adr-014", "check the MCP spec")
Source 4 is often the MOST important — these are docs the user
specifically wants downstream agents to follow. The previous
version only handled source 1 and silently dropped the rest.

When gsd-tools init output exceeds 50KB, core.cjs writes to a temp file
and outputs @file:<path>. No workflow handled this prefix, causing agents
to hallucinate /tmp paths that fail on Windows (C:\tmp doesn't exist).
Add @file: resolution line after every INIT=$(node ...) call across all
32 workflow, agent, and reference files.

* fix: change nyquist_validation default to true and harden absent-key skip conditions
new-project.md never wrote the key, so agents reading config directly
treated absent as falsy. Changed all agent skip conditions from "is false"
to "explicitly set to false; absent = enabled". Default changed from false
to true in core.cjs, config.cjs, and templates/config.json.

* fix: enforce VALIDATION.md creation with verification gate and Check 8e

* feat: add W008/W009 health checks and addNyquistKey repair for Nyquist drift detection
W008 warns when workflow.nyquist_validation key is absent from config.json
(agents may skip validation). W009 warns when RESEARCH.md has Validation
Architecture section but no VALIDATION.md file exists. addNyquistKey repair
adds the missing key with default true value.

* feat: add /gsd:validate-phase command and gsd-nyquist-auditor agent
Retroactively applies Nyquist validation to already-executed phases.
Works mid-milestone and post-milestone. Detects existing test coverage,
maps gaps to phase requirements, writes missing tests, debugs failing
ones, and produces {phase}-VALIDATION.md from existing artifacts.
Handles three states: VALIDATION.md exists (audit + update), no
VALIDATION.md (reconstruct from PLAN.md + SUMMARY.md), phase not yet
executed (exit cleanly with guidance).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: audit-milestone reports Nyquist compliance gaps across phases
Adds Nyquist coverage table to audit-milestone output when
workflow.nyquist_validation is true. Identifies phases missing
VALIDATION.md or with nyquist_compliant: false/partial.
Routes to /gsd:validate-phase for resolution. Updates USER-GUIDE
with retroactive validation documentation.

* refactor: compress Nyquist prompts to match GSD meta-prompt density conventions
Auditor agent: deleted philosophy section (35 lines), compressed execution
flow 60%, removed redundant constraints. Workflow: cut purpose bloat,
collapsed state narrative, compressed auditor spawn template. Command:
removed redundant process section. Plan-phase Steps 5.5/7.5: replaced
hedging language with directives. Audit-milestone Step 5.5: collapsed
sub-steps into inline instructions. Net: -376 lines.

The "depth" setting with values quick/standard/comprehensive implied
investigation thoroughness, but it only controls phase count. Renamed to
"granularity" with values coarse/standard/fine to accurately reflect what
it controls: how finely scope is sliced into phases.
Includes backward-compatible migration in loadConfig and config-ensure
that auto-renames depth→granularity with value mapping in both
.planning/config.json and ~/.gsd/defaults.json.

The installer only replaced ~/.claude/ (tilde form) when rewriting paths
for OpenCode, Gemini, and Codex installs. Source files also use
$HOME/.claude/ in bash code blocks (since ~ doesn't expand inside
double-quoted strings), leaving ~175 unreplaced references that break
gsd-tools.cjs invocations on non-Claude runtimes.
Adds $HOME/.claude/ replacement to all 6 path-rewriting code paths,
a toHomePrefix() utility to keep $HOME as a portable shell variable,
and a post-install scan that warns if any .claude references leak
through.

When a phase modifies server, database, seed, or startup files, verify-work
now prepends a "Cold Start Smoke Test" that asks the user to kill, wipe state,
and restart from scratch — catching warm-state blind spots.

Introduce ephemeral `workflow._auto_chain_active` flag to separate chain
propagation from the user's persistent `workflow.auto_advance` preference.
Previously, `workflow.auto_advance` was set to true by --auto chains and
only cleared at milestone completion. If a chain was interrupted (context
limit, crash, user abort), the flag persisted in .planning/config.json
and caused all subsequent manual invocations to auto-advance unexpectedly.
The fix adds a "sync chain flag with intent" step to discuss-phase,
plan-phase, and execute-phase workflows: when --auto is NOT in arguments,
the ephemeral _auto_chain_active flag is cleared. The persistent
auto_advance setting (from /gsd:settings) is never touched, preserving
the user's deliberate preference.
Closes#857

When running /gsd:update from $HOME, the local path ./.claude/ resolves
to the same directory as $HOME/.claude/. The local branch always wins,
triggering --local reinstall that corrupts all paths in a global install.
This is self-reinforcing — once corrupted, every subsequent update
perpetuates the corruption.
Compare canonical paths (via cd + pwd) and only report LOCAL when the
resolved directories differ. When they're the same, fall through to
GLOBAL detection.
Closes#721

The context monitor uses imperative language ("STOP new work
immediately. Save state NOW") that overrides user preferences and
causes autonomous state saves in non-GSD sessions. Replace with
advisory messaging that informs the user and respects their control.
- Detect GSD-active sessions via .planning/STATE.md
- GSD sessions: warn user, reference /gsd:pause-work, but don't
command autonomous saves (STATE.md already tracks state)
- Non-GSD sessions: inform user, explicitly say "Do NOT autonomously
save state unless the user asks"
- Remove all imperative language (STOP, NOW, immediately)

Hooks hardcode ~/.claude/ as the config directory, breaking setups
where Claude Code uses a custom config directory (e.g. multi-account
with CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=~/.claude-personal/). The update check hook
shows stale notifications and the statusline reads from wrong paths.
- gsd-check-update.js: check CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR before filesystem scan
- gsd-statusline.js: use CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR for todos and cache paths
